There used to be a fun fact that read: ''"The poster on the wall in [[Strong Sad's Room]] is a picture of [[Wikipedia:Dream (DC Comics)|Morpheus]] from [[Wikipedia:Neil Gaiman|Neil Gaiman's]] '[[Wikipedia:The Sandman (DC Comics Modern Age)|Sandman]]' series."'' This description is virtually identical to the one next to the avatar in [[Strong Sad's Lament]], but obviously the images themselves are not identical. What we need is someone to '''provide a link''' from somewhere online to the image of the poster (on the left). Once someone comes up with appropriate evidence (either that it's Morpheus or something else entirely), the fact will be reinstated (possibly after having been rewritten, depending on what evidence is found). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:Well, as a Sandman (and a Neil Gaiman) fan, I can see the resemblance to Morpheus. But I've never seen that exact incarnation of him before. Gaiman did use many different artists throughout Sandman's run, though, so it could be something I've never seen. Also, I don't remember Morpheus ever wearing a crescent-moon before, but that could just be artist interpretation. A quick Google image search brings up lots of pics, but not that one. --[[User:ModestlyHotGirl|ModestlyHotGirl]] 11:45, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::I don't know how conclusive this is, but I found several fan sites containing the image on the right: [http://home.freeuk.com/moondog/sandman.htm], [http://www.comune.modena.it/glamazonia/articoli/sandman/sandbrevi.htm], [http://rivendell.fortunecity.com/battlespire/85/dream.htm], and [http://www.splashcomics.de/html/specials/sandman/gallery.php]. (Of course, I realized after finding these that we are really looking for the image on the left.) So then for over an hour I looked through covers of Gaiman's books and comics, and I didn't find anything that points to Strong Sad's poster being related at all to our buddy Morpheus. The guy on the left looks like a pirate to me. Arrrgh mateys! (We might want to post something on the forum, it usually has a nice broad audience where people who might have seen our swashbuckler might be able to tell where he's from.) -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:55, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::I have posted it on the forum [[Forum:5133|here]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

::::::This is [http://theshortbus1.tripod.com/ a link] to the page that contains that image. It's definitely the same as Strong Sad's poster (and the quality is even a little better). I can't find any more information on it, though. What larger work is it from? And why doesn't it show up online under the name "Sandman" except for that one page? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

== Whoa ==

Strong Bad must have not gotten ANY good emails when they made this one. [[User:68.215.185.76|68.215.185.76]] 12:37, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

Oh, come on, man. You don't see any point of irony in this thing? I mean, the guy misses the days when Strong Bad would just boringaly answer his emails without anything happening, and then the computer explodes. How much more gimmicky-y can you get, man? I don't know.

== "Seems to be the e-mail?" ==

From the summary: "This seems to be the email when the Tandy experienced its explosion."

I think it's pretty darn certain that the Tandy exploded in this e-mail. (I changed it already.) --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 14:38, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

That happened to my little TV once, only it didn't explode.... The screen just warped and it shut off, only the power light was still on, and there was a barely discernible squeal with a burning electronic smell in the air.....--[[User:Everybody!|Everybody!]]

== Superfreak??? ==

I really don't think the intro song is a reference to Superfreak. Thoughts? --[[User:Ironcladlou|ironcladlou]]

Idon't think the song is super freak either. It doesn't sound enough like it to make me believe

== Moved obvious comment from fun facts to description ==

"This, obviously, is the beginning of the end of the Tandy 400" was removed from the fun facts and STUFF'd, and with good reason: if it's so obvious, then why does it need to be a remark? But instead of STUFFing, I moved it to the description at the top of the page. How does it look there? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
:Hm... I think we should just delete it. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:14, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
::I dunno, it kinda adds a little character to the description, so I don't mind it up there. (But it sure doesn't need to be in the fun facts.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Stuff'd it --Orange Star

== two floating gear comments? ==

Is it just me, or is it blatantly obvious there are two comments about the floating gear? so, it it a goof or a remark? [[User:Sompm|Sompm]] 04:35, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
:I'd say a remark. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==

The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.
:It doesn't even sound like Marzipan's voice to me. Could it be something that someone else made, and sent to TBC, like the real marching band version of the CGNU fight song? But yeah, it's definately very Female-80s-band-esque. -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 03:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
::No, if it was fan-made, I'm sure they'd tell us. Also, it'd be too conveniently timed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Yeah, your probably right. But maybe it was someone other than Missy doing the singing? Wait, I just thought of something. What if this QOTW is supposed to be what Cool Tapes would sound like if Marzipan rocked (from Different Town)? -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 22:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Have you people even listened to the clip? That is clearly Missy singing! If it isn't, may lightning strike me down right now! Only before "me", put in "people who disagree with". And how could it be fan-made? Can't you here Strong Mad and The Cheat's ''doley-o'''s ? That's Matt doing their voices, no doubt about it. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 15:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::Just listened to the clip; it doesn't sound much like Missy to me. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 23:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

==loading==

Does anyone else think that the loading window was only for that one song, and has been removed? It seemed that way with the last one. [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 17:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:I just noticed the same thing myself. It may have been a one time thing, it may perhaps be kept in reserve only for long quotes, or perhaps those with a greater knowledge of flash could tell me if it's somehow still there, but only triggered on extra large quotes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:I just decompiled it with my flash thing, and even though it's third party and messes everything up when you import, I can't find any hint of the loading screen. [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 18:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

::Those last two comments were me in IP form. I can't find a loading box at all. TBC probably took it out. So I'll add that it was on the page. If anyone has a better flash decompiler and can find it, feel free to add it. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

::Sorry if my last comment sounded weird. What I meant to say was: I can't find the loading box. I'm going to write that it doesn't exist. If anyone finds it in the current qotw file, you can revert my edit. Thank you. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== chumbly wumbly bear ==

shouldnt the quote be creidited to both What's-Her-Face and The Ugly One? in the transcript they're both singing it - [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
:We only credit to whose [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] shows up in each quote ('cept the old ones from before there were such things). In this case, What's Her Face. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Podcast ==

Hey Guys! youshould have a QotW podcast so it would be easier to load into iTunes! It would be just like tmbw.net's Free tunes podcast! [[User:Finest1]]

== Going backwards ==

I've noticed that the qod has gone from the newer back to the new.{{User:The Teach!/Twig}} 
http://www.vulomedia.com/images/53421Qod.png

==Awesome, just AWESOME!==

Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!"). But it's hard to say for certain. Any ideas? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:I'm sure it's a teaser for the next Cheat Commandos toon! ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon. It's like trying to do the same thing if the quote was of Strong Bad "I hate this crappy guy" to where he said "crap". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==Milkshake?==
I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Not really an outtake ==

The new qotw is labelled an outtake, but it isn't really. Strong Bad cuts Strong Sad off, but you can hear him finishing quietly in the background. --Telamon
:Oh, hey, so it is... Like some Bubs quote about bananas before. And some other quotes. They seem to do this a lot. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Hey, if it helps you notice new stuff, then hooray! --Telamon
:::What is "Caaardinal Sins" anyway? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 18:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
::::That's a [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Cardinal+Sins very good question]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::Appearantly, it's another name for the [[Wikipedia:Seven deadly sins|seven deadly sins]]. I couldn't find any board game with the same title, though. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Maybe it's a card game. (Card game? ''Card''inal sins? Get it? Oh, never mind...) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== "Mumble Quotes" ==

With the previous two new quotes, it kind of looks like TBC are making us wikipeoples' lives easier for the transcripts, by providing us with the words of mumbled-out lines.

Heh. --[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 20:44, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

==Marzipan's voice==

In the latest one, Marzipan sounds differently. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 01:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

==Reggae Song==

I know they have Marzipan's picture for the "Bread and butter pickle" reggae song Quote of the Week, but that's a pretty obvious Police-era Sting imitation. Anyone agree? {{unsigned|71.167.106.88|22:06, 3 November 2006}}
:I don't think so. Now that you mention it, it does sound a bit like Sting. But the style is different, and it'd be quite bold to assume that this is a Police imitation.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::Sting? Sounds more like Bob Marley to me, but I haven't heard much Sting. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

:::Sounds like the black woman on Sesame Street. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 01:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, The Police were known for combining rock and reggae — especially in their early stuff — but this sounds just like The Wailers (the band in which Bob Marley received his initial fame just like Sting did with The Police). {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:20, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I once imagined a version of Marzipan just saying it out. No song, just talking.

==Character Heads On Main Article?==
::I think this necessitates a different discussion. Is the format of this page as good as it can be? Early on, there has been no question that the character name and comma indicated both that this was the character speaking/singing, and that it was the character head used. But with the Chumbly Wumbly Bear song, and now even more so this, we see that there is confusion. Perhaps the character head id should be in its own "character head" column. This would make it clear that ''that'' is what we are noting, and who we hear speaking the quote is not necessarily the same (and is a secondary priority on this page). In cases like the above, we can note elsewhere whether the character head accurately depicts the speaker/singer. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::::I like Qermaq's plan. Had they started with the heads from the beginning, there would have been no question. Since we'd already came up with the format before the heads though, it kinda got ignored. I think a little 20 or 30 px image on each line might be a nice touch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
::::'''EDIT:''' If we're going to integrate the head, I'd like to see a decision here before somebody goes through them all only to have somebody come up with a better format. I'm thinking split the table into pre and post character heads quote tables, and something like this:

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! width="100" | Date !! Download !! Quote !! Source

|}

Questions, comments, better idea? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::I think it's a generally good idea. Would you do it differently than this when the speaker is more unambiguously the character whose head appears? I was originally thinking more along the lines of this:

:::::I'd think an asterisk or something would be appropriate, with a notation below such as "Marzipan's head appeared on the 09 Nov 2006 Quote; however, the actual voice heard is an unidentified reggae singer" or something. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
::::::I think it's a great idea to have the character heads in their own column. We don't even need the asterisk disclaimer bit if the quote starts with the name of the person who actually said it (just like in you example).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yeah, having the character heads in their own column is a wonderful idea. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

:Just double-checking, we are going to put the character's name in boldface before the quote even if it matches the character head, right? You know, for all of the image-disabled people out there. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

== Take out the outtake ==

On the one hand, the "Good graphics" (11/16/06) quote says it's an outtake in Windows Media Player. On the other hand... is it really any different than the actual line in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? At all? I can't right now, but I'd like to listen to both simultaneously to check. If not, I think we should put a note (or Fun Fact) stating that they call it an outtake but it's not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:They are exactly the same.

::Well done! Maybe it is both an outtake and an Easter egg. Mike's "What?" sounds genuine. My guess is that they decided it was a funny enough outtake for an Easter egg.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
:::"...can we trust that it's an "outtake" when it exactly matches the toon?"[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=385810&oldid=385806]
:::Good question. It just doesn't make sense to say that, though. This is, by the book, not an outtake because it is ''in'' the toon. It's not best to blindly follow what TBC say if it's clearly incorrect or misleading. More likely than not, it says outtake in Windows Media Player because they simply didn't give a care what the incorrect or out-of-date title was when they put it up or it had not occurred to them. We've [[Talk:H*R.com updates 2006#Dating discrepancy|consented]] that we should give the actual date of release on the updates page even if the main page says otherwise, and I don't see why we should be any less accurate in our description of this QOTW based on what TBC may have inadvertantly said. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

::Also remember that this is a weekly section that has no history on the site, so if someone only started visiting H*R in the past year, or didn't visit or download the quote last year, it would still be new to them. Just because we have a record of all the QotWs doesn't mean that everyone does, or that everyone has been watching since day one and downloading all the quotes.

== You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch ==

It's dot com:

Should we be splitting hairs between stonk and stunk?
# it was an outake so they could have easily have screwed up the line
# if this is where the line originated, they probably didn't pull up a script but did it from memory
# it is a little over 2 weeks before christmas so that the likelyhood that they are either working on a christmas/decemberween toon, or watching christmas movies are high.

I think that they probably saw the Grinch that stole christmas recently and thought of the line. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:Like I said in the edit summary, I was reminded of this as well. "Stink, stank, stunk" (the real lyrics) are the tenses of the verb, but "stonk" seems more to me like a deliberate (and not necessarily related) joke by TBC. As it is, there is too much speculation to list it (coupled with the fact that, if it's a reference, then they got it wrong). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
::There is something to be said that this many people so far have been reminded of some version of the Grinch . . . I don't know much of the cartoon or the movie, and while the written word is stunk without a doubt, could one or the other of the sung lines sound like "stonk"? Someone who has made the edit recently, give us some help as to why you think it's a reference. It seems like too many people to just be pulling it out of thin air to me, but at this point I don't see a strong argument for the reference. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 17:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

== Audio Quality ==

Is it just me, or do quotes of the week sound a little different (clearer, maybe?) than the originals? Just wonderin'.-LordQuackingstick
:Nope, you're right. The QOTWs are straight mp3s that don't play directly in the Flash animation. They play the sounds through Flash, which distorts the sound a bit. Probably makes the file size smaller than what it would otherwise be. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

== Crabadonk ==

Voice actors often do multiple takes of a line and the best one is selected later. This is clearly what Matt had done with Bubs' line "Crabadonk". Are all three outtakes for certain? Would this be better described as multiple takes? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
:This is like June 29, 2004's "I just hate you so much". Bubs says crabadonk twice in the e-mail. Let's not call this an outtake. Multiple takes is better. Or, we can just leave its source as plain ol' "[[the chair]]". —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
::The first two "Crabadonk"s of the QotW are outtakes. The third one matches the first time Bubs says "Crabadonk" in the email. The second time in the email is distinct to all three in the QotW. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I say we stay with "outtake" — it seems to have [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outtake both meanings], a take that's not used because it ends with a mistake, or any take that's not used (e.g., multiple takes are recorded and only the best is uesd). No point in using different words if we don't have to, I think. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Wait, at least one occurence of "crabadonk" cannot be called an outtake by either definition. Therefore, since it was used, that portion of the QOTW cannot be called an outtake.

== Define "outtake" ==

Well, we have more edit-warring here regarding outtake status than anything else, so let's explore the issue.

What is an outtake? It's a take that was not used in a toon, basically. It may have been a particular reading of a line (or a single word) that was rejected for a different approach. It might be a totally different line that was recorded but unused. It might be an error, or "blooper". But in each case, the outtake does not occur in the finished toon.

In the "clabadonk" case, a strong argument exists for referring to the three repeated words as "multiple takes". There's evidence that at least one of these takes were used in the finished toon. I suggested "multiple takes", but even if it's somehow agreed that these are outtakes, it should be plural, as these clearly are three successive takes.

In the most recent QOTW we have a different issue. This is a line from the toon, but some extra is apparently tacked on. I haven't taken the time to listen and compare, but if the lion's share of it is in fact the same as is used in the toon, how can we call it an outtake?

What I'd like is a bit more formal agreement on what should and should not be labeled as an outtake so these silly revert wars stop. (And, at risk of sounding like a scoolteacher, my rule of thumb is it's good to indicate in the edit summary why the edit was made, but if you or someone you agree with is reverted (or if what you reverted is added back), it's time to take it to the Talk page, lest these wars continue.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
:After another listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, I don't think the current QotW (18 Jan 2007) is an outtake, but there are a couple of lines in the middle of it that aren't in the toon. Namely, the underlined part here is missing: "I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? I don't even watch football. I hate football but I'll play football. Run you over in football. Run you down the field like a clown!" The rest of it sounds exactly like what's in the toon (although it's admittedly hard to hear under the voiceover). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
::Holy crap! A revert war because of my original edit. To me, it's not an outtake. Most of the quote is in the toon. It's all good, though. You can do anything you want to it. I don't care. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

== Sausages. ==

If you go and listen to [http://www.msu.edu/~larowebr/Brent%20LaRowe%20-%20Dot%20Com.mp3 It's Dot Com by Brent LaRowe] (some sort of [[HRFWiki:Fan Music|Fan Music]]), in it, at about 2:03, is a quote from Strong Bad. "Don't worry big guy, we'll find him... if the King of Town hasn't already ground him up into sausages." Now, this seems to be from [[Where's the Cheat?]], but not a direct quote. I discussed this with someone in the chat room a few months ago, and whoever they were seemed to agree with me that it was a quote of the week. Now, it could be a very good impression, but I don't think so. Does anyone remember this quote, if it ever was? --{{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 19:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

== Gunhaver ==

Incidentally, it should not read "Crack Stuntman ''as'' Gunhaver", because Stuntman wasn't playing Gunhaver at the time.

:I don't think Gunhaver's name should be in there at all because he's not acting as Gunhaver and Gunhaver didn't have anything to do with this quote. It's Crack. and it's mentioned in Marzipan's Answering machine that he is the "Handsome actor that's handsomely paid." to play Gunhaver... just because Gunhaver's picture is on the website doesn't attribute this quote to him. If anything it should read Crack Stuntman (Gunhaver) [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 23:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

::Perhaps, but in that case all of the similar quotes would need to be reformatted. "Character shown (Actual speaker)" is simply the format we've used up to now.

The quote is actually from a short toon featuring Strong Bad, titled "''Field Day intro''". I can't seem to find a page for it here on the wiki, so I wanted to point out to that in case nobody had noticed. It doesn't have the bottom navigation links, neither does it continue to what it's an intro for so I'm guessing it's something unfinished.

FLASHING SCREEN 10x BONUS CONFUSION MULTIPLIER! -ding!ding!ding!- Anyways Bubs' N-E-S-T-L-E-S reference, I believe, was taken from a sleepy little jingle for a Nestle candy bar called 'Alpine White' television spot in the late 80's/early 90's. Dunno if you remember it ... can't believe I just did.

If I've misplaced this, certainly do feel free to edit/move this. --[[User:Cardgage Forty Twone|Cardgage Forty Twone]] 18:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

:[http://youtube.com/watch?v=V92wHNa1UvE I agree]. <s>Although is it possible he was just referring to Nestle (or another commercial)?</s> Just did a quick Youtube look through, I only found really crappy jingles. The N-E-S-T-L-E-S bit was only found on the Alpine White commercial. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh heh, yep. There it is ... the tagline at the end is: ''Sweet dreams you can't resist.'' ... obviously it was an effective jingle - apparently it's been stuck in more people's heads than just my own after, what, 18 years?! --[[User:Cardgage Forty Twone|Cardgage Forty Twone]] 20:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

== Sad Kids ==

When did the Sad Kids actually say, "Frosty? Flurry."
:It's one of those quotes that does not actually appear in a toon. But what I would like to know is if they were referencing Wendy's frosties and McDonald's McFlurries. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
::I certainly agree that it's a fast food dessert reference, My guess is that since the kids' "catchphrase" is "Huh? What?" that Matt (or is it Mike?) was just messing with that, and said something with a similar cadence. Maybe they had a quick-serve ice cream product jones while recording. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 00:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== I guess I forgot to... ==
Keep a backup of Coach Z's quote. Did anyone do this (to upload as a mirror), or is it lost forever? [[User:JasonDeLima|JasonDeLima]] 23:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

== Sort By Year ==

Can anyone stand to split this into separate articles listing each year's Quotes of the Week, as was done with [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]]? That's the best solution I can think of to get rid of the "This article has more than 32 kb" thing. All those "Unknowns" should probably go into their own article or go with the 2002 article. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

:There is no need to split this page up. The page is not too long nor does it have too many images. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
::Hit "edit" and it clearly says that the page ''is'' too long. ("WARNING: This page is 60 kilobytes long; some browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please consider breaking the page into smaller sections.") Also, it's starting to feel odd that this is the only weekly page not sorted out by year. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Solution: Stop using browsers that have problems with that, then. =3 In all serious, though, I don't much like the idea of splitting it either. It's mostly just a list, unlike the other two, which have pictures. Furthermore, each of those have dates. The inconsistancy of the dates here presents a problem: look how many early ones are listed as "unknown". Where would you put them? The '03 ones are very sparce, and there's only one '02. I don't really see the need for it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
::::As I said in the [[Talk:Main Page#Too long, Clanky!|other place you posted this]], the "This page is too long" warning is just a benchmark, a notice that you should possibly consider splitting the page. After all, if an ''article'' reached this length, then it would definitely either go into too much detail, or have several logical sections it could be broken up into (like the Peasant's Quest walkthrough, references, etc). But a list such as this one is fine as is... and being able to sort all of the quotes at once by, say, character head would be impossible if they were split by year. Personally, I think we should maybe copy over the Wikipedia version of this message ("This page is ''xx''kb. It may be appropriate to split this article into smaller, more specific articles." without the word "WARNING") because that just seems more better. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

== Spare any mush and guitars in one day? ==

Uh... Did I miss one quote of the week in one day? And now I have "I DON'T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!" did they do two? [[User:209.30.145.199|209.30.145.199]] 22:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - is there any info on that? I mean, they put the [[Sickly Sam]] one and then just went and posted the [[Strong Mad]] one? --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 20:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
:They first put on the duplicate Sickly Sam quote (see QOW, 22 Sep 2005). In Charlie Jr.'s edit summary [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707], he mentioned he wished that they would put on Strong Mad's eat-a-guitar quote and the [[Brothers Chaps]] apparently realized their mistake, saw Charlie Jr.'s edit summary, and granted his wish. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

== Jibblies 3 ==

When I listened to Marzipan's jibblies, I can hear one of [[The Brothers Chaps]] saying something like, "Oh, yeah, keep going." Do you know which one is saying it? I can never tell Mike and Matt apart. {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 19:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

== Outtake? ==

I think that the current quote is Missy trying out her line. That's why Matt can be heard saying "Yeah, keep going" after her line. But if it isn't an outtake, I don't know what to say it is. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

== Too may SBs ==

Do you suppose it's worth mentioning that of all the characters' lines used in Quote of the Week, Strong Bad has the most? I mean, his head was there for three consecutive weeks with "...if your jim-jams happen to be...", "Borgoroth of Coolswordoroth...", and "Oh, way to impress, Spirit of St. Loolis..." And it seems a Homestar Runner quote hasn't been used in a while. Even Homsar hasn't had another since late 2005. -[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 20:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
:All of that is obvious and not worth noting. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

== Mirrors behind mirrors. ==

I've found a mirror for "The Wicked Guitar Solo" from [[personal favorites]]. Or actually, I just dug up the old one. It still works, if you know how to get there. It's on [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/previousquotes.htm this page], listed as "The E-mail Rokk". The funny thing is that a [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/email_rokk.mp3 direct link to the file] doesn't seem to work sometimes, and will just bounce you back here, or whatever page you came from. Freewebs' server most likely checks the [[Wikipedia:referrer|referrer (oops, referer)]] and just spits it right back at you if it matches some filter of theirs (Or doesn't match, however they've got it set up). So, if someone with the know-how and power-how (or something like that) to upload it to the HRWiki mirror would do so, we'd be down to just one QotW without a mirror link! (Marzipan's "I'm the only girl"). -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 05:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

:I doubt the authenticity of that recording. The [[Audio Quality|quality]] is very poor. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

::True, comparing the email itself and the file, the sound is quite different. But I'd say that in itself is not inconsistent with the older quotes mirrored on the wiki. And the files on that webpage seem to be identical with the ones mirrored here, though it's quite possible that one copied them from the other, which would be difficult to confirm at this point. I think that file is at least equally authentic as the other old QotW files we have mirrored here. Maybe it is the original, official file. Maybe it isn't, and one day someone will dig up the original file. Or maybe TBC will repost it. I suppose the hope is that someone who does have the original will notice it's missing on this page, and submit it. In any case, I consider that file to be better than none at all, and I'm glad that I found it. If it doesn't seem good enough to list officially on the page, then at least those interested can find it following the links I posted here. I just found it strange that the link was summarily removed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=310223&oldid=304327 a while back]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 06:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Yes, I'd say most of those files were taken from here. The site [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Links&diff=42356&oldid=42355 is run] by [[User:Homestar Runnar]] ([[User:Bottles98]]), try asking them. As for that edit removing it, I'd say that's a very good reason Nelson left in the edit summary, especially because of the trouble you described in downloading the file just above. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:36, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
::::I wouldn't doubt it because of low quality. This is a very early QotW. TBC have gotten better at sound quality. That website is where I found the "MATT!" quote several months ago. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

:::::Explain how the quality would be lower than in the actual toon itself. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Coach Z's Christmas Quote ==

In the newest quote (Nov 15), Coach Z uses the word "Christmas" rather than "Decemberween"; should this be taken note of?
:Yes, there's a whole section on [[Decemberween]] for [[Decemberween#References to Christmas|references to Christmas]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== 404'd quote ==

I tried to view the quote from [[KOT'S VOQPCS!]] and got [[404'd]]. Should we put the fact that the link's broken?{{User:Justin Master of Nature/sig}} 18:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

:It works for me: [[Mirror:kot_reek.mp3|kot_reek.mp3]]. If it still doesn't work, perhaps try clearing your cache? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== Undefined ==

Does anyone else get "Undefined" as Homestar's message when downloading the swf without saving the XML source? I've never seen the "This is the funniest word styles" thing. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== How the Crap!? ==

When I click on the "download" link in Quote of the Week, it automatically opens the file in Windows Media Player.
So, how do I save the file to my computer?
:If you use Windows, click "download" with the right mouse button and then select "save target as". [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 04:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I tried that, it treats it as a webpage.
:Alternately, once the quote opens in Windows Media Player, hit "File" and choose "Save Media As..." to save it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't see it for some reason.
:If you can't see the file menu, try moving your mouse just above the top of the window. The real top of the window should appear. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Alright I got it, thanks.

== Ja What? ==

...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in [[buried]] about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"? Some of these so-called "facts" are so ridiculously nitpicky it's not funny. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
:Are you aware of the linguistic relation between /y/ and /j/? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja". Admittedly, a word meaning "yes" fits there, and he does have a foreign name and accent ("Ja" actually means "yes" in at least 7 languages [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja#Andere_Sprachen], most notably German - which would also match his accent). In my opinion, it's speculation, and a discussion here on the talk page is all the documentation we need.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
::::...this wouldn't be the first time I've complained about some of us being a [[Talk:Rap Song#New Math|tad bit too nitpicky]] here... -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Given that Taranchula are clearly portrayed as Scandinavian, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to speculate that they were saying "ja". I wouldn't call spelling it "yah" a goof, but I think noting that the real Scandinavian word is "ja" is worthwhile. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::Oops, I didn't know they were Scandinavian. OK, now the fact makes perfect sense and it should be noted somewhere!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

==Marshieween==

I think the quote's from Marshieween. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

--[[User:Shaggy|Shaggy]] 18:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

== Quote download ==

Am I alone in this? I tried to listen to the QOTW (Sweetness Sweetness) but I cannot get it to play. I have a new computer, but the archived MP3's work fine, just not the one on the official site. Any ideas? (Windows Vista) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
: You having trouble with Hear It or Get It? (I have Vista, and I can get both to play just fine.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
:: I'm running into some weirdness too. I go to the main page, and the current quote of the week is the grocery list thing ("Amazing thing, amazing thing," etc.). If I follow the link from the wiki to Strong Sad's "Sweetness, Sweetness" quote, I get a blank black page titled "Oops! You bwoke it." I suspect it may have been taken down? --[[User:DeathbyChiasmus|DeathbyChiasmus]] 02:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm having the same problem (Mac OS X 10.5.x). I've even tried using a different browser and clearing cache. I am wondering if there is some weird cacheing somewhere along the line, rather than a local problem. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Same problem here. Windows XP, btw. But by doing proxy surfing I was able to hear it. Strange, strange, strange. Even hours later I can't get to http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/ss_sweetness.mp3. It just tells me I bwoke it. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::::This all seems to be more evidence for my theory that H*R is hosted on more than one server, with a load-balancer or something, and they don't always keep them in sync properly... things like this, the lime in [[Let us give TANKS!]], passwords on .exe files like the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|screensavers]]... sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, depends what server you're hooked up to. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:57, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I am having the same problem as bassbone, i've cleared my cache 3 times but it's still the grocery list. it works fine in my PS3 web browser, but not my PC. hazzard4123 17:23, 21 June 2008

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 24]] (Jun 9-15) ===
I'm up for an important place. There always been '''[[The Field]]''', '''[[The Stick]]''' and '''[[Homestar Runner's House]]'''? However, [[The Field]] would '''drastically''' need an intro cleanup, and [[The Stick]] would need an intro cleanup too. [[Homestar Runner's House]] is the best choice, so I'd go with that. That's '''always''' been around since like '''day 5'''. Unless anybody else can think of something else, I'm for Homestar's House. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say we do [[Homestar Runner's House]]. Of course, The Stick and especially The Field have been around forever, but as you said they need to be updated, so the armless white guy's abode would be the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:Maintenance coming in: We're going to far out in terms of dates right now. We're now talking about eleven weeks ahead of today; we really should keep the discussions a little closer than this. Go ahead and discuss this one, but could we please not add any more weeks for a bit? Thanks. Resume discussion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, and if I might make a bit of a plug: I'm working on a subpage about guidelines for FAS: [[User:Heimstern Läufer/FAS]]. I welcome comments and improvements, especially from any regulars in the discussion here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
::Sure, Homestar's House is cool. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 25]] (Jun 16-22) ===
[[A Folky Tale]]? Full-length toon with quite a bit of content, not to mention funny. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:I hate to burst your bubble, but if we're going to be featuring A Jorb Well Done for Week 20, then maybe we should do something else, so that we don't have to worry about exhausting everything instantly. I think that's what you said about "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship". I would like to feature this, though; just not so soon. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the comparison is not exactly valid. There are many toon articles that can be featured, but few relationship articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, alright, I guess we can do it, then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Wait, I got a better idea. Why don't we just do [[Saddy Dumpington]], the character? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I like that idea. Not many Strong Sad variants get featured, and this article has an extensive write up (more than enough to act as a teaser and justify the More) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::And besides, when I said something about exhausting the toons, I meant big toons. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Sure. Just keep in mind Folky Tale for a future FA. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Saddy Dumpington is a fine choice. His character is equal in significance to [[A Folky Tale]] (a writeup about either one would cover pretty much the same content), so if people like the idea of featuring the character better, I say let's go for it. And we can even put a watch link for A Folky Tale at the end of the writeup! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 26]] (Jun 23-29) ===
How about [[Summer Short Shorts]]? It would have to be summer by now. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:Sounds like a fine idea to me. (Although interestingly enough, my local school district only gets out of school this very week, so summer will only be beginning here!) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 27]] (Jun 30-Jul 6) ===
Since we already featured [[Happy Fireworks]], how about [[Cardboard Marzipan]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:I guess we could do that. Another thing we should try is [[Fireworks]]. Of course, that one would need to be updated drastically. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, which is too bad, since Fireworks is definitely better connected to July 4th. But then, there's no obligation to do a July 4th article, so there's no harm in doing a one with a loose connection like Carboard Marzi. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:33, 24 April 2008
:::On the other hand, if we're going to do Saddy two weeks prior, this could be a bit of an overdose of character variations. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
::::As an alternative, how about something tangentially related? Like how Homestar Runner wants to dress up as Uncle Sam in [[Strong Bad Is A Bad Guy]]? (I know, I know, it's a stretch....) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::It's a stretch, but I see no reason not to do it anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 28]] (Jul 7-13) ===
Have we featured [[The Announcer]] yet? If so, how about [[Homestarloween Party]]? --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC) Or specially marked.
:Getting pretty far out in advance again; let's not go any further than this week for a bit, OK?
:We haven't featured The Announcer yet. That article could possibly use some expansion before featuring, but it's a possibility. [[Homestarloween Party]]'s been featured (and we usually save Halloween toons to be featured at Halloween, anyway). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, let's slow down a little bit, huh? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 08:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Ten weeks is enough. I think we have 12 now. Let's hold it to 10 - guideline suggestion? Question mark? The Announcer works for me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::::First, The Announcer sounds reasonable to me, but secondly, let's slow ''way'' down a little bit, huh? We keep getting too far out ahead. Let's add more once we get below five or six weeks ahead (by then, the first 26 weeks will likely be in the archives and it'll be time for weeks 27 through 52). In the meantime, if it's any comfort to you, we can keep discussing ideas for the weeks that are already on here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, and by the way, in regards to the Halloween toons, can I be the first to make a suggestion there, please? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::If someone could expand '''[[Irregular Loading Screens]]''', then it would be a great choice. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 29]] (Jul 14-20) ===
One of the [[Thy Dungeonman]] games. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 12:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:How about an actual person? Say, [[Missy Palmer]] or [[Ryan Sterritt]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
::As important as Missy is to H*R, her write up is a bit thin. Ryan's page is actually of decent length. May I also suggest [[Y-O-U]] as a possibility (their contributions have been key a number of TBC's musical projects). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No. It is one of the Dungeonman games or else. Since we have already featured the Dungeonman himself and [[ye flask]], it makes sense to feature one of the Dungeonman games. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 10:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Umm, no, it's not "one of the Dungeonman games or else". You don't get to make decisions like that. I'd say we ought to feature Ryan, personally. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::I like the idea of featuring [[Ryan Sterritt]] too. And we should expand Missy's article sometime; she should be featured at some point. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 30]] (Jul 21-27) ===
Since it has been talked quite a bit, why don't we feature [[techno]] for this week? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:I'm down. Oh, wait, I mean, the system is down. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 31]] (Jul 28-Aug 3) ===
How about [[Lowercase i's]]? That's becoming a quite large inside joke. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:Sure, Lowercase i's would be good. That one has a decent amount of text anyway. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 32]] (Aug 4-Aug 10) ===
Since we haven't done one in a while, how about a TGS issue? I'm thinking [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|the first one]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:I would advise against us featuring TGS 1 for this reason: It's a subset of the email [[comic]]. Therefore, it makes more sense to feature that email instead, as it helps show where TGS came from and gives us the first episode.
:As an alternative, perhaps TGS 11, since it has a summer theme? Alternatively, we could wait a few weeks and do TGS 4, with its back-to-school theme. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::I like the idea of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] being featured for this week. TGS as a whole has not been featured enough. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Okay, let's just do [[comic]], then, huh? I agree that TGS isn't shown more often, but let's try to save some of the post-tenth issue ones (i.e., Issue 11) for later. Besides, wouldn't it be overkill to have two summer-themed toons in a short timespan, since I proposed Summer Short Shorts at one point? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::::In agreement. Let's do the email comic. It'll be just like featuring a TGS comic, but this shows where it came from. (I actually didn't know until now) [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 01:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::If we're going to do techno two weeks before, I don't think we should do another email this week. I don't see any reason we can't do two summer-themed cartoons, but if we don't want to, I still suggest delaying TGS a few weeks and doing Issue 4 (partly because we haven't featured many early TGS episodes). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I say we shouldn't do any more summer themed Featured Articles. If any school people are at all like me (and I know some are), they will be thinking "Aww man, we hafta go back to school again soon!" by August. I think [[comic]] would be a good idea. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::And I still say two emails separated by only one week is too many in such a short timespan. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
(KOs colons and throws them into an active volcano) Not really... We have nearly 200 SBEmails total. I doubt that many have been featured. There are more SBEmails than anything else. It's not a big deal. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 13:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah. I'm surprised we haven't featured emails more often! So we should not complain about having emails close together. Besides, there was one time where was an entire week's worth of Tandy 400 emails, I seem to recall. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but [[comic]] was featured for week 31, 2005. How about the [[locker room]]? [[User:Hazzard4123|Hazzard4123]] 18:05 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hazzard4123: A slight additon to the KOT easter egg transscript

{{toonnav|Shorts|playdate|The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw|Strong Bad Sings}}
[[Image:PlayDate.png|thumb|"CAN HOMESTAR COME OUT AND PLAY?"]]

Homestar and Strong Mad hang out, with disastrous results.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|Strong Mad}}, {{film|Bubs}}, {{film|Nebulon}}, {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|The King of Town}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Homestar Runner's House]], [[The Field]], [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's L'est Stand]] (Easter egg)

'''Date:''' Monday, June 9, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 2:46

'''Page Title:''' Wanna mess around?

==Transcript==
''{Camera tilts down to reveal Homestar Runner calling on his cordless phone, sitting on his couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Pom Dog. It's Homedog. Yeah, dog. You wanna hang out? Oh? Oh. Firmware upgrade. No, that sounds important. No, it's cool. I'll catch you later. Boop! Oh.

''{Homestar actually hangs up the phone. Reverse shot, with a list marked "Phone People". Pom Pom (Pom Dog) is crossed out. Homestar dials the phone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad? No? Cool.

''{Homestar hangs up. Strong Bad's name is crossed off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs! In federal prison? ''{Homestar hangs up; white frame}'' Coach Z? In juvenile prison?

''{Homestar hangs up. Coach Z's name is crossed off the list. Increasing Dutch angle shots as Strong Sad and The Cheat are crossed off. Cut to Homestar lying on his couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Disappointed}'' Nah, it's cool. I forgot today was you and Brunswick stew's anniversary. 'Kay. Bye.

''{Homestar hangs up. King Of Town's name is crossed off. Homestar sighs off camera.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to call —

''{Cut to Strong Mad opening the door.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' CAN HOMESTAR COME OUT AND PLAY?

''{Title "Play Date" drops down over a black background.}''

''{Crossfade to Homestar leaning out his front door talking to Strong Mad.)''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, we don't really call it "playing" anymore, Strong Mad. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' It's more like hanging out, messing around, kicking back...

''{Two shot of Homestar and Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' LET'S FOOL AROUND!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hm. Maybe not "fool around" either. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' Why don't we get down to business? Let's play. Or, kick around. Whatever.

''{Two shot}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' LET'S PLAY BLOCKS!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blocks, eh? I'm not opposed to the classics. Let's play some blocks.

''{Push wipe left to a tower of cinder blocks wavering slightly. Strong Mad grunts off camera and another cinder block flies to the top of the pile. Pull back to reveal Homestar pushed into the ground with the blocks on top of his chest.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{strained}'' You know, this is exactly what I thought you had in mind. ''{Close up on Homestar}'' Not sure why I agreed to it. How 'bout we play catch?

''{Push wipe left to Homestar crouching slightly, his cap on backwards, and a baseball glove floating in front of him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! Fire it in here! Gimme the old pepper atta pepper whatta pepper who's a pepper— ''{Strong Mad grunts off camera and Bubs' Concession Stand lands on Homestar, who drops his glove}'' Oof!

''{Bubs pops up in the Stand}''

'''BUBS:''' It's a relocation sale! Fifty percent off all badly beaten Homestars!

''{Push wipe down to Homestar, with bandages on his head and face, and Strong Mad sitting on the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shakily & sounding exhausted}'' Okay, Strong Mad. We're going to have a little something I like to call "Migraine Time". We can play your new favorite game, ''{pull back to a wider shot}'' Feathers and Cotton. Ready? Go.

''{Homestar puts an ice pack on his face. A meteor falls through the ceiling, crushing Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Waugh!

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS ONE'S NOT MY FAULT!

''{Nebulon pokes up from the meteor, looking around. Nebulon's sound effect is heard}''

''{Push wipe up Homestar heavily bandaged, legs in casts, and sitting in a wheelchair in The Field. Strong Mad is standing next to him, smiling apologetically.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow! I had a real great time messing around today, Strong Mad. But next time, maybe we should just play.

''{Strong Bad enters from the left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks for babysitting the little guy for me, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' AWWWW! TIME TO GO?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, sorry, man. ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' Cinder blocks, structural damage, and meteors? It is ''definitely'' time for your nap.

''{Pull back to previous shot. Strong Mad and Strong Bad exit left, Strong Mad pouting and sobbing a little.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whew! Bubs, hit me with a Cold One. ''{Camera shift right to reveal Bubs' Concession Stand, as Homestar's wheel chair leans back. Bubs slides an 'Old One down the counter.}''

''{Cut to black. A crash is heard followed by a gulp.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahh. Thanks, man.

''{"END" appears on the screen as music plays. A dot soon follows and the word back fades in the lower left corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the "E" to continue the ending scene.
*:''{scene reopens at the Concession Stand. The 'Old One bottle lays broken on the ground}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, wait a minute! Aren't you supposed to be in federal prison?
*:'''BUBS:''' I got time off for snitchy behavior!
*At the end, click on the period to see The King of Town.
*:''{At Marshmallow's L'est Stand. The music from [[Date Nite]] and [[love poems]] is playing. The King sits at one end of the table, with a bowl of soup at the other end. A candle and small jewelry box are also on the table}''
*:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You know, Brunsy, the 50th anniversary is the ''{holds up a spoon with sour cream in it}'' dollop of sour cream year!

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===

*Homestar's telephone uses [[Wikipedia:Dual-tone multi-frequency|dual-tone multi-frequency dialing]] and the numbers can therefore be determined from the tones produced. Homestar dials the following numbers:
**5-3-3 at the beginning of the toon before saying, "Hey Pom Dog..."
**8 after hanging up on Pom Pom.
**8-6-5-3-3 before talking to Strong Bad
**8 after hanging up on Strong Bad and before talking to Bubs.
**8 after hanging up on Bubs and before talking to Coach Z.
**8 after hanging up on Coach Z.
**5-3 before talking to the King of Town.
**8 after hanging up on the King of Town.
*In the Easter egg, Bubs' arms are in the older, bendy state.
*The word "END" appears to come down over the top of the first Easter Egg: in the last frame, you can see bottom half of the word at the top of the screen.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar's list first appears, The Poopsmith is listed after Strong Sad and The Cheat. However, his name disappears in the two subsequent appearances of the list.
*At the end of the toon, Homestar appears to have both his legs injured from the meteor. However, his legs were the only parts of his body that were NOT hit by the meteor.
*In the Concession Stand easter egg, the left wall of the stand is separated from the front at the top.

===Inside References===
*Homestar refers to Pom Pom as [[My Dog|Pom Dog]].
*The King of Town is on a date with [[Stew|Brunswick Stew]].
*Strong Mad ripped Bubs' Concession Stand out of the ground in [[Fall Float Parade]].
*The loading screen reads "[[Irregular Loading Screens|load it]]".
*There is another appearance of [[Strong Mad Smiling]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar Runner shouting about "peppering" is a reference to [[Looney Tunes|Bugs Bunny]]'s similar shouting during [[Wikipedia:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] after which Bugs grins and says, "That's the old pepper, boy!"
*Homestar's chatter starts to follow [[Wikipedia:Dr Pepper|Dr Pepper]]'s jingle from the 1970s and 1980s, "Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?"

Strong Mad Evolution

Hazzard4123 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:55:14 GMT

Hazzard4123: Changed the word apperance to design so it's like the other evolution pages

Despite numerous design changes, [[Strong Mad]]'s basic shape has been more or less constant, the only major changes he has gone through is with his singlet, which has altered in color, and one point, lost and regained the trademark "M".

The chest hairs have disappeared, as has most shading. The outline is thinner and his skin is lighter and less reddish. His toes are thicker and more rounded. The point on his nose has moved down and left.
|-

|-
| [[Image:neweststrongmad.png|150px]] || Current design || 2001 || Toons from [[A Jorb Well Done]] to current; various [[Strong Bad Emails]] starting with [[little animal]]; [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]] || His outine is thicker and darker. His shoes are also darker. His eyebrows are slightly more slanted. The "M" is back, but darker and with more white space and less shading. The shading is even more advanced. His mouth is a bit smaller, and when he speaks, his voice is slightly higher (this is because his voice is not slowed down like it was in earlier designs) and also raspier. He also talks more often, instead of the occasional growls and grunts he made before and his nose is facing a different direction, though it does still point left on occasion (usually when he faces left).

'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', is the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]]. It was originally a small feature introduced in 2001, in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. Although the animations were initially brief, the responses gradually grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], and [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], like [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email will include numerous [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[action figure]], [[japanese cartoon]], and [[isp]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

==Not Quite Strong Bad Emails==

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

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

==Strong Bad Email Menus==

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

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 221 emails as of [[shapeshifter]].
*It would take 9 hours, 19 minutes, and 16 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 10 minute and 2 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July, 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

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

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

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

Podstar Runner 2006

Hazzard4123 — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:19:14 GMT

Hazzard4123:

{{Podstar Runner}}
[[Image:Podstar Runner menu.PNG|200px|thumb|Strong Bad Emails and More!]]
[[Image:Pcworld-hsr2.jpg|thumb|Crazy Cartoon on an iPod Video!]]
The original '''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a video capable [[Wikipedia:portable media player|portable media player]] (such as a [[Wikipedia:iPod (5G)|fifth-generation iPod]]), in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. Originally a collection of [[Strong Bad Email]]s, [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes were added on March 6, 2006 under the name ''Teen Girl Squadcast''. On April 12, 2006, the Toon [[Everybody to the Limit]] was released. On March 1, 2007, a "podcast" button was added to the navbar at the bottom of the Homestar Runner site, yet the "sbemail podcast!" button continued to appear at the end of the message cycle every week until July 16, 2007. Podstar Runner is usually updated Thursdays, along with the three weeklies buttons.

The service was discontinued in September 2007 with a note saying "Podcasts are gone for now. We'll tell them you were thinking about 'em though." A new [[Podstar Runner]] service was made available on January 10, 2008.

'''Page Title:''' Podstar Runner Come On And Come On, Ya'll.

'''Release Date:''' January 30, 2006

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:SBEmail in iTunes 2.PNG|thumb|Podstar Runner podcast]]
===Trivia===
*The label on the floppy disk from the original Podstar menu was unreadable, but there were [[Floppy Disk Container#podstar floppy|several possibilities]].
*The podcast "Strong Bad Email" became #1 on February 20, 2006.
*The podcast "Strong Bad Emails & More!" became #1 on April 6, 2006.
*The podcast was featured on the Podcasts main page on iTunes in the "New and Notable" section on February 19, 2006.
*Around March 5, 2006, the name of the podcast changed from "Strong Bad Email" to "Strong Bad Emails and More!" due to the addition of the Teen Girl Squadcast.
*The battery meter in the intro for the Strong Bad Emails is relatively full, while the hand-drawn intro for Teen Girl Squadcast's battery meter is almost empty.
*One of the keywords for the Teen Girl Squadcast episodes is "arrowed", an obvious reference to the [[Arrow'd Guy]].
*The binary number in the summary for [[technology]] converts to 3,341,564,587.

===Remarks===
[[Image:TGS Glue Stick.png|thumb]]
*For some reason, the clock at the top of the iPod screen reads 8:04 before and after the toon, even though the toon may last more than 1 minute.
*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the clickable Easter eggs from the original versions of the emails are present.
**All the Easter eggs (except for "She Likes Cloth" from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12|issue #12]]) in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] issues are present, and play automatically, as does the Peasant's Quest Preview egg.
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!". This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcast through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast. On March 5, 2006, it was changed to "teen girl squadcast!" in response to the new feature.
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to the "Flash file" level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]]. There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies. Furthermore, on the dry T-shirt flyer, the [[font]] Snap ITC has been replaced with what appears to be Arial (same thing for the font for Chocolardiac Arrest).
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up; incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
*The filename for dragon is "[[trogdor]]," not "dragon."
*Due to the size and resolution of the iPod's screen, [[virus]]'s Navbar is removed, and its "widescreen" effects removed by [[Wikipedia:Pan and scan|pan and scan]].
*On February 27, 2006, Podstar Runner ceased downloads of all the previously available Strong Bad Emails and only allowed downloads of the most recent Podcast. A notice on the page read "due to bandwidth doodoo, we're doing one at a time for now." It was fixed on March 3, 2006, and all the emails could be downloaded again.
*[[Everybody to the Limit]], [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]], and [[An Important Rap Song]] are played with the email intro and ending despite the fact that they're all not Strong Bad Emails.
*In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] podcast, the "It's Over!" card appears after the Strong Bad Easter Egg to match the endings of the other issues.
*In [[death metal]], the email intro seems to be a little extended. Plus, the "shee-doot" sound is omitted when Strong Bad signs off of Video Thyme.
*Every time an email was added to the website's episode list from 2006-2007, another one that has been released for quite some time was removed because the maximum capacity for the list of emails was 18. This also happened on the podcast on iTunes itself.
*The [[Peasant's Quest Preview]] showed up on the Podstar directory before getting added to the iTunes podcast page.
*While the iPod in the background is meant to be a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] model, the headphone port is placed in the top center of the device like a fourth generation's, rather than at the top right. However, as of January 10, 2008, it has been replaced with an iPod Touch.
*The Podstar Runner version of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] features a glue stick superimposed onto the corner of the screen during the scene with the [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Shirt Folding Store Manager|Shirt Folding Store Manager]], whose hair and face are constructed from sections of a [[:Image:Mary-Kate.jpg|magazine photo]] cut and pasted onto the paper.

===Goofs===
[[Image:TGS9preview.PNG|thumb|The glitched preview image]]
*When the email ends and returns to the animated iPod menu, "Homestarrunner.com" is highlighted. However, the animated menu at the beginning of the email has "Email" selected. The iPod's memory should keep the selection where it was when you left it, not move back to the top.
*Many of the listed file sizes are inaccurate. The [[Podstar Runner#Downloadable Emails|table below]] shows the correct file sizes.
*The preview picture for Teen Girl Squad 9 (in iTunes) has positioning problems; everything inside the panel seems to be shifted up and to the left, overlapping the panel border.
*The sound in [[crazy cartoon]] is out of sync between the intro and the ending.
*When you view the podcast in the iTunes Music Store, there are no dates listed for some of the emails, including [[army]], [[flag day]], [[trevor the vampire]], [[stunt double]], [[caper]], [[isp]], and [[alternate universe]]. (Dates will appear once you download them, save caper and army.) Dates aren't listed for [[Peasant's Quest Preview]] and [[Malloween Commercial]].
*The Title for "Peasant's Quest Game" is incorrect (it's supposed to be [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]).
*When [[An Important Rap Song]] was added to the list of downloadable toons, a "\" was added at the end of [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]].
*On certain browsers, the links labeled "main" and "rando" do not work from the Podstar Runner menu.
* In the Podstar Runner version of [[haircut]] there is a slight discolouration, making all the colours in the email darker and duller
===Glitches===
[[Image:Two podcasts.PNG|thumb|Two podcasts]]
*At the end of trevor the vampire you can see the word back fade in for a split second.
*On the navbar, you cannot click the "p" in podcast.

===Fixed Glitches===
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
*There used to be two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps." Noticeably different between the two was the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast. The podcast by Strong Bad has since been removed.
*When Guitar was released, all the e-mail links became the same, all leading to the guitar e-mail file. Now they have reverted back to the separate names.
*When montage was released, the link to download montage was incorrect in the XML feed, which pointed to "sb_email_motage.m4v" instead of "sb_email_mo'''n'''tage.m4v", leaving users temporarily unable to download montage through iTunes. This was fixed the day after.
*The date for [[theme park]] in the podcast feed was incorrectly listed as May 6, 2006 instead of June 6, 2006.
*Due to the use of [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]] in the navbar (and depending on the browser), clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page will sometimes work correctly but will sometimes take you to a nonexistent page beginning with ''<nowiki>http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/</nowiki>'', with the [[Store]] being the only exception. This was fixed when "podcast" was added to the navbar.

Podstar Runner 2006

{{Podstar Runner}}
[[Image:Podstar Runner menu.PNG|200px|thumb|Strong Bad Emails and More!]]
[[Image:Pcworld-hsr2.jpg|thumb|Crazy Cartoon on an iPod Video!]]
The original '''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a video capable [[Wikipedia:portable media player|portable media player]] (such as a [[Wikipedia:iPod (5G)|fifth-generation iPod]]), in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. Originally a collection of [[Strong Bad Email]]s, [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes were added on March 6, 2006 under the name ''Teen Girl Squadcast''. On April 12, 2006, the Toon [[Everybody to the Limit]] was released. On March 1, 2007, a "podcast" button was added to the navbar at the bottom of the Homestar Runner site, yet the "sbemail podcast!" button continued to appear at the end of the message cycle every week until July 16, 2007. Podstar Runner is usually updated Thursdays, along with the three weeklies buttons.

The service was discontinued in September 2007 with a note saying "Podcasts are gone for now. We'll tell them you were thinking about 'em though." A new [[Podstar Runner]] service was made available on January 10, 2008.

'''Page Title:''' Podstar Runner Come On And Come On, Ya'll.

'''Release Date:''' January 30, 2006

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:SBEmail in iTunes 2.PNG|thumb|Podstar Runner podcast]]
===Trivia===
*The label on the floppy disk from the original Podstar menu was unreadable, but there were [[Floppy Disk Container#podstar floppy|several possibilities]].
*The podcast "Strong Bad Email" became #1 on February 20, 2006.
*The podcast "Strong Bad Emails & More!" became #1 on April 6, 2006.
*The podcast was featured on the Podcasts main page on iTunes in the "New and Notable" section on February 19, 2006.
*Around March 5, 2006, the name of the podcast changed from "Strong Bad Email" to "Strong Bad Emails and More!" due to the addition of the Teen Girl Squadcast.
*The battery meter in the intro for the Strong Bad Emails is relatively full, while the hand-drawn intro for Teen Girl Squadcast's battery meter is almost empty.
*One of the keywords for the Teen Girl Squadcast episodes is "arrowed", an obvious reference to the [[Arrow'd Guy]].
*The binary number in the summary for [[technology]] converts to 3,341,564,587.

===Remarks===
[[Image:TGS Glue Stick.png|thumb]]
*For some reason, the clock at the top of the iPod screen reads 8:04 before and after the toon, even though the toon may last more than 1 minute.
*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the clickable Easter eggs from the original versions of the emails are present.
**All the Easter eggs (except for "She Likes Cloth" from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12|issue #12]]) in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] issues are present, and play automatically, as does the Peasant's Quest Preview egg.
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!". This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcast through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast. On March 5, 2006, it was changed to "teen girl squadcast!" in response to the new feature.
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to the "Flash file" level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]]. There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies. Furthermore, on the dry T-shirt flyer, the [[font]] Snap ITC has been replaced with what appears to be Arial (same thing for the font for Chocolardiac Arrest).
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up; incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
*The filename for dragon is "[[trogdor]]," not "dragon."
*Due to the size and resolution of the iPod's screen, [[virus]]'s Navbar is removed, and its "widescreen" effects removed by [[Wikipedia:Pan and scan|pan and scan]].
*On February 27, 2006, Podstar Runner ceased downloads of all the previously available Strong Bad Emails and only allowed downloads of the most recent Podcast. A notice on the page read "due to bandwidth doodoo, we're doing one at a time for now." It was fixed on March 3, 2006, and all the emails could be downloaded again.
*[[Everybody to the Limit]], [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]], and [[An Important Rap Song]] are played with the email intro and ending despite the fact that they're all not Strong Bad Emails.
*In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] podcast, the "It's Over!" card appears after the Strong Bad Easter Egg to match the endings of the other issues.
*In [[death metal]], the email intro seems to be a little extended. Plus, the "shee-doot" sound is omitted when Strong Bad signs off of Video Thyme.
*Every time an email was added to the website's episode list from 2006-2007, another one that has been released for quite some time was removed because the maximum capacity for the list of emails was 18. This also happened on the podcast on iTunes itself.
*The [[Peasant's Quest Preview]] showed up on the Podstar directory before getting added to the iTunes podcast page.
*While the iPod in the background is meant to be a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] model, the headphone port is placed in the top center of the device like a fourth generation's, rather than at the top right. However, as of January 10, 2008, it has been replaced with an iPod Touch.
*The Podstar Runner version of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] features a glue stick superimposed onto the corner of the screen during the scene with the [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Shirt Folding Store Manager|Shirt Folding Store Manager]], whose hair and face are constructed from sections of a [[:Image:Mary-Kate.jpg|magazine photo]] cut and pasted onto the paper.

===Goofs===
[[Image:TGS9preview.PNG|thumb|The glitched preview image]]
*When the email ends and returns to the animated iPod menu, "Homestarrunner.com" is highlighted. However, the animated menu at the beginning of the email has "Email" selected. The iPod's memory should keep the selection where it was when you left it, not move back to the top.
*Many of the listed file sizes are inaccurate. The [[Podstar Runner#Downloadable Emails|table below]] shows the correct file sizes.
*The preview picture for Teen Girl Squad 9 (in iTunes) has positioning problems; everything inside the panel seems to be shifted up and to the left, overlapping the panel border.
*The sound in [[crazy cartoon]] is out of sync between the intro and the ending.
*When you view the podcast in the iTunes Music Store, there are no dates listed for some of the emails, including [[army]], [[flag day]], [[trevor the vampire]], [[stunt double]], [[caper]], [[isp]], and [[alternate universe]]. (Dates will appear once you download them, save caper and army.) Dates aren't listed for [[Peasant's Quest Preview]] and [[Malloween Commercial]].
*The Title for "Peasant's Quest Game" is incorrect (it's supposed to be [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]).
*When [[An Important Rap Song]] was added to the list of downloadable toons, a "\" was added at the end of [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]].
*On certain browsers, the links labeled "main" and "rando" do not work from the Podstar Runner menu.
* In the Podstar Runner version of ((haircut)) there is a slight discolouration, making all the colours in the email darker and duller
===Glitches===
[[Image:Two podcasts.PNG|thumb|Two podcasts]]
*At the end of trevor the vampire you can see the word back fade in for a split second.
*On the navbar, you cannot click the "p" in podcast.

===Fixed Glitches===
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
*There used to be two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps." Noticeably different between the two was the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast. The podcast by Strong Bad has since been removed.
*When Guitar was released, all the e-mail links became the same, all leading to the guitar e-mail file. Now they have reverted back to the separate names.
*When montage was released, the link to download montage was incorrect in the XML feed, which pointed to "sb_email_motage.m4v" instead of "sb_email_mo'''n'''tage.m4v", leaving users temporarily unable to download montage through iTunes. This was fixed the day after.
*The date for [[theme park]] in the podcast feed was incorrectly listed as May 6, 2006 instead of June 6, 2006.
*Due to the use of [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]] in the navbar (and depending on the browser), clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page will sometimes work correctly but will sometimes take you to a nonexistent page beginning with ''<nowiki>http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/</nowiki>'', with the [[Store]] being the only exception. This was fixed when "podcast" was added to the navbar.

===Inside References===
*The description for [[personal favorites]] reflects how TBC often get questioned about the existence of the emails.
*The description of [[isp]] refers to [[Matt Chapman]]'s prior job at [[Wikipedia:MindSpring|MindSpring]], previously mentioned in a similar manner in the [[garage sale#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary for garage sale]].

===Real-World References===

*The description for [[bottom 10]] refers to one of the locations television host David Letterman has claimed his daily "Top Ten List" was compiled.
