Homestar Runnar: /* Goofs */

:''This article is about the Strong Bad Email "pom pom". "[[Pom Pom]]", with initial capital letters, is a character.''

[[Image:Sbemail108.png|thumb|Strong Bad makes an attempt on Pom Pom's life.]]

'''Strong Bad Email #108'''

Kevin asks about what would happen if you poked Pom Pom with a pin. Strong Bad experiments with dangerous conditions.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Coach Z]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Viklas]] (easter egg), [[Monkey D]] (easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]

'''Date:''' July 19, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 2:25

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, I'm an e-mail gambler... that means I play cards with e-mails. ''{He pulls up the e-mail.}'' Full house.

''{Strong Bad reads the email out loud}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strongbad, 
 
What would happen if you poked 
Pom-Pom with a pin? Is that why I 
haven't seen him around in a while? 
 
Kevin 
OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "OH" as the word "oh!"}''

''{typing}'' Oh! Kevin. You scared me! I dunno. I guess he would pop or explode depending on whether he's filled with helium or hydrogen. And also depending on if he's on fire at time of poke. This is sounding pretty good. ''{new page}'' Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire! Let's see, how can we raise the stakes a little bit? Ooh! I'll be blindfolded! Truly this will be my greatest feat! ''{He puts on a blindfold.}'' aligrt u.ln reay tui gi ''{He says "All right. I'm ready to go."}''

''{He leaves the computer. Cut to a field where Coach Z and Homestar Runner are standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I think it was dot-egg or dot-muffin or something.

'''COACH Z''': You sure it wasn't dot-com? Or dot-org?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No, I'm pretty sure it was dot-egg.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' All right, Hindenburg.

''{He enters, still wearing the blindfold and brandishing a pin and the BMW lighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where're you at?

'''COACH Z''': ''{jumps out of the way}'' Whoa! Hey there! Careful with those!

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom? Is that you?

''{He begins to poke Homestar in the chin with the pin.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{still poking}'' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': Look, I'm trying to find Pom Pom. You know where he is?

''{By this point, pink spots are appearing on Homestar's face where Strong Bad is poking.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I think he's over at Bubs's, filming his documentary.

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, thanks.

''{He stops poking and walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{assuming a teenager's breaking voice}'' Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!

''{Cut to Bubs's, where the Poopsmith is wearing headphones and holding a boom mic over Bubs's head and Pom Pom is filming Bubs at his place behind the counter.}''

'''BUBS''': And that's how I almost died the fifteenth time.

''{Bubs, Pom Pom and the Poopsmith turn to look at Strong Bad as he enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, Led Zeppelin! Let's get this settled once and for all! ''{He jumps in the direction of the concession stand, but smashes his face against the wall.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be five dollars! ''{puts up a sign reading "Face Mashings $5"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{shakes his head}'' That's cool. I'm cool. Here I go again! Urah!

''{He jumps up and runs towards Pom Pom, who leaps into the air. He runs underneath Pom Pom and skids to a halt next to where he was standing. Pom Pom lands gracefully behind him with an angry expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is that yo-

''{Pom Pom kicks him into the air and juggles him, making combo signs appear after his fourth, fifth and sixth kicks. He then finishes him off with a kick, sending him flying. A "1-up" sign appears, along with the "1-up" noise.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be ten dollars! ''{puts up a sign reading "Severe Pummelings $10"}''

''{Cut to the Compy room, where Strong Bad's reply is still on the screen. Strong Bad plummets through the roof, landing on his stool. He removes the blindfold.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{typing}'' So, since I was blindfolded, I didn't really get a clear view of what happened. But I'm pretty sure I didn't get the everloving snot beat out of me and that Pom Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space. Poor guy... I feel kind of sorry for him. I might even miss him a little bit. Well, it had to be done in the name of science. Or, more accurately, because some kid e-mailed me and told me to. I hope you're happy, Kevin!

''{The paper comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*After [[The Paper]] comes down, click on "Poor guy" to see a letter from Strong Bad to [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]].
:''{Some sad music starts playing and a sheet of paper appears on the screen. As writing appears, Strong Bad reads it aloud. His voice starts to crack (due to being sad) after a little bit.}''
<pre>Dear General and Fraulein Pom Pom,
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that your
son recently exploded in a big, fiery ball that was visible
from space. I would also like to add that in no way did
he beat any of the everloving snot out of me.
Sequentially,
Strong Bad</pre>

*After The Paper comes down, click on "e-mailed" to see an email game between Bubs and Strong Bad.
:''{Cut to a top-down view of a green table with some poker chips on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, read 'em and weep, boys! Pair of Abdis and a Viklas! ''{throws cards onto the table, two of which bear a capital A, and one of which shows the Swedish flag}''
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! Alls I got is a lousy MonkeyDude! ''{throws down a card depicting Monkey D}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is one of the few recent emails where Strong Bad doesn't make fun of and/or forget the emailer's name.

===Remarks===
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, TBC did not use the modified Ahnberg Hand Q, a font they usually use for Strong Bad's handwriting.
*After Strong Bad faceplants himself against the wall, the lighter goes out and is not re-lit.
*Strong Bad assumed that Pom Pom was filled with either hydrogen or helium, although it's probably neither of those, since they are each lighter than air in their natural states. If he were filled with hydrogen or helium, he would float away like a balloon, instead of being able to land on the ground.
*Strong Bad exposes himself as a less-than-expert typist in this email. After "raising the stakes" and donning a blindfold, he cannot type. An expert "touch-typist" would have no problem typing in this situation.
** Strangely, Strong Bad shows excellent touch-typing skills in an earlier email. In [[impression]], he completes the email with a paper plate mask taped to his face.
*Strong Bad's use of "Fraulein" to refer to Pom Pom's mother is technically incorrect: instead he should be using "Frau." In German the word ''Frau'' ("woman") is used when adressing or referring to married women, like "Mrs." in English, while ''Fraulein'' ("young woman") is used for younger, unmarried women, like "Miss" in English. As it is, the letter sounds like it's actually addressed to Pom Pom's father and sister, rather than to both of his parents.
**Additionally, using "Fraulein" is considered politically incorrect in Germany these days, and today both married and unmarried women are all addressed as "Frau."
*The sizing between Strong Bad and Homestar seems to be distorted in this email. Strong Bad's head is much larger when seen poking Homestar, contrasted to [[long pants]].

===Goofs===
*In the scene where Strong Bad attempts to pop Pom Pom near [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], he is holding the [[BMW Lighter]], but the BMW logo is backwards on it.
*Somewhere between Strong Bad's first and second attempts to poke Pom Pom, the Poopsmith disappears without a trace, for no apparant reason.
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, he doesn't use correct capitilization, (Dear General and Fraulien Pom Pom. i - that's where he messed up.) which is funny since he's always making fun of things like that in E-mails.
**This is because the font used for Strong Bad's handwriting has no capital "i".
*When Strong Bad is falling back into the Computer Room, there is no reflection of any part of his body on the Compy's screen until he lands.

===Inside References===
*In the poker game, Strong Bad has two Abdis and a [[Viklas]] card, references to the e-mails "[[some kinda robot]]" and "[[little questions]]".
*Bubs's "MonkeyDude" card has a picture of [[Monkey D]]. Monkeydude himself came from [[crazy cartoon]].
*The blindfold Strong Bad wears has the same design as Pom Pom's headband in the [[Theme Song Video]]. ''(also see Real-World References)''
*The music that accompanies Strong Bad's letter of consolation is from [[2 years]] and [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Pom-Pom directing a documentary may be a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed as controversial documentarian Michael Moore.
*There is a very old cartoon, [[Isle of Pom]], that introduces Pom Pom's family. This must be whom Strong Bad is writing his death notice to.

===Real-World References===
*When Pom Pom beats up Strong Bad, you can hear sound effects from Super Mario Brothers. When he scores a 1-up after hitting Strong Bad several times, that's another SMB reference. The "Combo" sign is also a parody of the many fighting games that feature them.
*The blindfold Strong Bad puts on has the design of a Kamikaze bandana. It may be a reference to the 1984 film [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087538/ The Karate Kid]. ''(also see Inside References)''
*A "Full house", as Strong Bad says in the opening song, is a poker hand of three cards of one kind and two cards of another.
*The email song is a reference to the Kenny Rogers song (and movie) The Gambler.
*[[Wikipedia:Hindenburg disaster|The Hindenburg]] was a German zeppelin that exploded and burned on May 6, 1937. The highly-flammable nature of the hydrogen used to inflate the Hindenburg greatly contributed to its quick destruction. Most lighter-than-air craft now use non-flammable helium.
*[[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] was a 70's British band noted for their innovative, influential approach to heavy blues-rock.

Talk:boring (really)

Homestar Runnar: /* Sudden stop? */

Oh my god, I can't believe I just watched that. How can I get back the four minutes of my life I lost? Why TBC WHY?

Intensely boring shark-jumping action!!! I liked those fireworks.

:It was SUPPOSED to be boring. All the "interesting" characters were acting dull as heck, while the more "boring" characters are hyped up on caffeine or throwing wild parties. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I know this would be horribly shot down if I tried to put it in Fun Facts, but given that TBC likely watch Adult Swim, I can't help feeling that this email was a Space Ghost Coast to Coast homage. Watch an ep like "Fire Ant" to see what I mean (10 minutes of Space Ghost crawling across a landscape muttering inane threats!). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 04:21, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

He said "I remember learning math in school" .. I put my speaker at full volume .. It's math - [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

==Possible Inside Reference==
Bub's "Be's" was last heard from Stong Bad in [[the bet]] ("Let's see you be's cool"). Was there any other occasion?

==Wowowowhat?==

I'm rather convinced that Strong Bad says "What?" at the same time that Homestar says "Wow," but this doesn't seem to be a universal view. Opinions? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

They both say Wow. I'm 100% certain.

== Sudden stop? ==

This toon stops most of the way through (when Strong Bad is listing three letter words and types "cod, for, her") for me, can anyone help? I've tried everything. Refresh, Hard Refresh, Cache clearing, saving the .SWF...can anyone help me? -[[User:Homestar Runnar]]

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat makes The Cheat noises which sounds like, "And The Cheat!"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and we're the co-directors of this video.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Meh!}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, so my portion of this video details the life of a very lonely individual named Rondell who can't deal with the decisions of day-to-day life.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We interrupt this whining to bring you this important headline: "World bored to death by Strong Sad commentary."

'''STRONG SAD:''' Agh, what are you doing here? You're hardly even in this video!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well I woulda been the one directing it if weren't for those Super Giant guys.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's not what they're called.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever they're called, that one right there with the glasses, he started talking all these vocabulary words at me and confusin' me and the next thing I know, I was relegated to this crappy bit part. ''{Referring to the top of two heads (one is wearing glasses, likely They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh)}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, "relegated" sounds like a vocabulary word.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll relegate your face to a...bloody pulp!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Coffee was being hit with a drumstick}'' {The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, that part represented hitting coffee with a drumstick. Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{upon seeing a picture captioned "our gracious host"}'' Ahh! More like our "I'll murder you in a back alley" host.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, so this next part ''{referring to tiny Cheats erupting from cracks in Rondell's hands}'' is an allusion to one of my very favorite experimental films called--

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boring Johnny and the Get Bored Crew.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{exasperated}'' Would you quit it with the "boring" comments?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, if it weren't for that tentacle skull riding the old-timey bike, this video would have nothin'!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{barely comprehensible}'' You don't like the video, huh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yeah, the first question on that pop quiz was, "Are you all going to be in my experimental film?" ''{Referring to Pop Quiz in clip}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{the tentacle skull is seen in ink on lined paper}'' Oh, look, there he is! Keep on old-timey bikin', tentacle-skull. ''{Gavin is seen}'' Hey, is that Gavin? I didn't know he was in this video. He's got, like, as much screen time as I do!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys, is this the Super Giants video?

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's not what they're—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. But they cut us out of it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, weird—then why'd they bother getting somebody who looks just like me? ''{Seeing himself in the clip}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, that is you, I just mean they mostly—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Seeing Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the clip}'' And that guy looks just like you! And that big guy ''{referring to Strong Mad}'' looks just like Coach Z!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now this part accurately represents what it feels like to watch this video. ''{Ticking clock shown}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{exasperated}'' Ohhh! This next part ''{as a film with Rondell's face on tears, ignites and disappears to reveal an animated Rondell}'' is all about Rondell's transformation into a new man.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I thought you said that was just an accident that happened because you loaded the film wrong. ''{Rondell turns into animated Rondell}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{embarassed}'' Uhh, why don't you shut up, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno... 'cause I guess I got a lot of stuff to say.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{when he, Strong Mad and Homestar are seen dancing}'' Check out my dance! Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe! ''{The Cheat joins in}'' Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe! ''{Homestar joins in}'' Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe! Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ahhh, this is the worst commentary ever!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I've been saying this whole time!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, me too. Worst commissary ever!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{during the portion where components of the film are seen pogoing}'' At this point reality and fantasy have collided and everybody... pogos.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{as an animated Rondell walks up to an animated ATM}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{angry}'' What do you mean you tried to be as dumpy-accurate as possible?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Strong Bad is seen dancing, with the words "Real Smooth Moves" is seen above him}'' Let's talk about how "Real Smooth Moves" is like the best band name ever. The old Supreme Giants boys could take a cue from that one.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as an animated table with a muffin on is seen}'' I'm gonna take a cue from that kitchen table and go get me a blueberry muffin! (Pronounced bluebree)

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ohh, what a disaster. I hope I still get paid.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*This toon was made for the first single from They Might Be Giants' tenth studio album ''[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/The_Spine The Spine]''. The song is called [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Experimental_Film "Experimental Film"].

*The two head-tops belong to They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh and John Linnell. The one on the left is Flansburgh, as he has black hair and wears glasses, and the one on the right is Linnell.

*The answers for the "pop quiz" most likely refer to the [[Wikipedia:Cotton gin|cotton gin]], an invention that revolutionized the cotton-growing industry; [[Wikipedia:Appomattox, Virginia|Appomattox, Virginia]], a town famous as the location where the [[Wikipedia:American Civil War|American Civil War]] ended; and the all-time career record for home runs in [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]] (755), set by baseball player [[Wikipedia:Hank Aaron|Hank Aaron]]. The first question was "Are you all going to be in my experimental film?"

=== Trivia ===
*This toon was originally posted on [[The Brothers Chaps]]'s [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/ thoraxcorp.com], but was quickly taken down.

*This toon was released at approximately midnight, Atlanta time, on 13 July 2004—the release date of ''The Spine''.

*As of January 2005, the toon is now available [http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.app.store.DirectAction/viewVideo?b=a&videoId=41146400 through the iTunes Music Store] (requires iTunes 4.6 or later)

*The joystick Homestar is using is for an [[Wikipedia:Atari 2600|Atari 2600]].

*According to [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.07/play.html this Wired interview], TMBG will be making a separate video for the [[Wikipedia:MTV|MTV]] crowd. Choice quote: "I feel like if MTV and Homestar collided, the world might explode."

*Despite "resolving not to feel so bad about wanting to hit Homestar so much" (see Strong Sad's Blog), the commentary shows the first time that Strong Sad has stood up to Homestar. As expected, Homestar doesn't take him very seriously.

=== Remarks ===
*The first line of the song is "The color of infinity inside an empty glass." Strong Sad's glass is full.

*The wrecking ball that swings between Strong Sad and the [[ATM]] in one shot is actually the swinging light bulb painted black.

*Even though Strong Sad says he can't jump in his blog, he jumps here and in A Jumping Jack Contest.

=== Goofs ===
*The clock has 6 seconds between the 3 and the 4.

=== Inside References ===
*Gavin, the cockroach from the Easter egg in [[personal favorites]], makes a cameo appearance.

*When It's a lion! pops up for the first time, the lion is wearing Homestar's hat.

*Near the end, the crowd flips the cards to a picture of an olive on a toothpick. This was the eye from the [[Homestar Jr.]] in [[Where's The Cheat?]]

*When the people in the grandstands flip the scenery cards to the mountain scene, it slightly resembles [[Main Page 2]].

*"Our gracious host" bears a striking resemblence to [[Monte Negro]] in [[Malloween Commercial]].

====They Might Be Giants References====
*United States presidents are [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Presidents a common theme] in TMBG's work; they have no fewer than five songs about U.S. presidents, an album called ''Lincoln'', and frequently mention presidents in songs and on stage. Their [http://www.tmbg.com website] is also presidentially themed.
**It should be noted, however, that while the band chose the album title ''Lincoln'' fully aware of its presidential overtones, the album is actually named after Lincoln, Massachusetts—the town where the two Johns grew up.

*The Tentacle Skull (seen riding the bicycle) is another [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Skulls frequent TMBG theme]. In addition to being mentioned in several of their songs, it appears on the cover of their ''[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Back_To_Skull Back to Skull]'' EP and on the back of their ''[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/John_Henry John Henry]'' album. The skull might also be the [http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Skullivan Skullivan], as mentioned in the companion EP for ''The Spine'', ''[http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/The_Spine_Surfs_Alone_(EP) The Spine Surfs Alone]''.

*[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Coffee Coffee] is yet another common theme in the work of TMBG. The earliest videos and promotional matierials from the 80's show TMBG with cups of coffee. In the film ''[http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Gigantic Gigantic]'', TMBG confesses that they are insanely dependent on coffee.
*In the commentary, both Strong Bad and Homestar get TMBG's name totally wrong (both "Super Giants" and "Supreme Giants" are mentioned). This is, of course, not the first time this has happened. In fact, one of their early EPs included [http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Untitled an answering machine message] in which two people discuss "There Must Be Giants" and "There May Be Giants" and appear to be confused about the whole experience. Also on their song They Got Lost on their live album Severe Tire Damage, the song starts with an announcement of "Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for They Must Be Giants!"

*The finger that comes up at one point might be a reference to the thumb on the cover of TMBG's "Dial-a-Song" album.

=== Real World References ===
*Strong Sad meeting the [[Wikipedia:Death (personification)|Grim Reaper]] through split screens is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ingmar Bergman|Ingmar Bergman's]] ''[[IMDB:tt0050976| The Seventh Seal]]''.

*Much of the imagery, and especially the scenes of Strong Sad watching film sprocket holds go by, is likely a reference to one of the first great experimental films, ''[[IMDB:tt0019760|The Man with a Camera]]'' by [[Wikipedia:Dziga Vertov|Dziga Vertov]], which has a section in which the sides of the film are exposed, and the characters look outside their own frame/world at the holes running by.

*Ants crawling out of holes in Strong Sad's hands is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Luis Buñuel|Luis Buñuel's]] ''[[IMDB:tt0020530| Un Chien Andalou]]'' ("An Andalusian Dog").
**The "ants" are actually little The Cheats.
**"Un Chien Andalou" is the inspiration for the song "Debaser" by the Pixies. Frank Black, lead singer of [[Wikipedia:Pixies|the Pixies]], is close friends with They Might Be Giants, and has toured with them.

*The scene of Strong Sad shaving is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock's]] ''[[IMDB:tt0038109| Spellbound]]''.

*In the commentary, "Worst Commentary Ever" is probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]], where the [[Wikipedia:List of recurring characters from The Simpsons#Comic Book Guy (Jeff Albertson)|Comic Book Guy]] is always saying "Worst [something] ever.".
**The phrase is something of an inside joke in Simpsons lore. Some history ''[http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=451131 Here]''

*The swinging light is an image found at the end of Alfred Hitchcock's ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054215/ Psycho]'', and was also used at the end of TMBG's music video for ''[http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/The_Guitar The Guitar]''.

*The "color of infinity" line in the chorus may be a reference to ''[[IMDB:tt0241317| The Colours of Infinity]]'', a 1995 television documentary by [[Wikipedia:Arthur C. Clarke|Arthur C. Clarke]] about [[Wikipedia:Fractal|fractal]] geometry. IMDb says: "This show relates the science of the M-Set to nature in a way that seems to identify the hand of God in the design of the universe itself."

*The shot of the ATM with a football helmet chasing Strong Sad may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Commander Keen|Commander Keen]], Defender of the Universe, who wore a helmet with an identical design when saving the day!

*In the commentary, Strong Bad interrupts Strong Sad with the phrase "Boring Johnny and the Get Bored Crew". This is most likely a reference to the hip hop group "[[Wikipedia:Doug E. Fresh|Doug E. Fresh]] And The Get Fresh Crew".

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you, girl! Woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words}'' Oh, would you email me, girl? Woman? ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

subject: Homestar's pants
Dear Strongbad,
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time.
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants!
Tootles!
Clancy

''{Strong Bad skips everything after "Anyway" and before "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem red-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen input high-tech expensive device! Now in HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen bearing the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Expensive high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

Dear Strongbad,
Why <s>doesn't homestar ever</s> wear pants? <s>It's kind of</s>

Clancy

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E–

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! ''{camera pans back to show Homestar wearing very short purple pants}'' Check out my creepy pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking away}'' Ew, Homestar! What're you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?!

''{Homestar's pants shine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cuz you said, "creepy pants all the time get some."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get some what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Light globes?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Light globes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like in a lamp! Light globes! ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... you put on hotpants in the hopes of getting some lightbulbs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{correctively}'' Globes. ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. Or your lack thereof. Daisy Dukes aside.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about, Strong Bad? I wear long pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet. ''{indicates Homestar's feet}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants, I wear long pants. I'm a long pants man, long pants, long pants! ''{starts getting upset and dances around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, calm down... I didn't mean to-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumps high into the air, and convulses on Strong Bad's desk}'' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ''{starts teleporting around the room, first appearing in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen, then blurred in the very foreground, then upside down under the desk, then in his original position, all while chanting the following}'' Long long long long long long pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that's it! We need to get you some serious clown care, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I was told long pants! Long pants! They said long pants! Always long pants! ''{leans toward Strong Bad}'' Long, my pants! Gleaming pants! Glorious pants! ''{runs away, leaving the Daisy Dukes behind. They fall on Strong Bad's foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bleh! Egh! BLEEEGGEHHEGH!

''{He attempts to shake the Daisy Dukes off. He eventually does, and The Cheat appears stage left to burn them with the [[BMW Lighter]]. They burn a neon green color and disintegrate completely.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

''{The Cheat leaves, and Strong Bad turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Noice work, Clanky. You made Homestar go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out. And how am I supposed to get this crap offa here? ''{Everything starting with the "t" in "get" is obscured by the correction fluid. Strong Bad grabs a cloth and attempts to wipe it off the screen, to no avail. He mutters:}'' Stupid... made-up technology... that I made up... light pen... ''{mumbles}'' The Cheat! Call tech support and tell 'em you broke the Lappy again!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Selecting "Why wear pants" will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game. As you hover the cursor over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
* Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service, [[Kertified Klown Kare]]. It reads:
Kertified
Klown Kare

-Pie Injuries
-Giant Foot Problems
-Wacky Malaria
-Grease Paint Poisoning

"Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"
* Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {''Lying in bed with a light bulb next to his head, crying''} Lonnnng paaaannnts!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sits up suddenly, surprised and upset}'' You're not a broom?

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*[[Wikipedia:Daisy Duke|Daisy Dukes]] are extremely short cut-offs, so named for the character from [[Wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]] television show that wore them.
*Strong Bad using the "light pen" to remove portions of the email draws from the joke about a fool who, being unexperienced with technology, used a correction fluid pen on his monitor in an attempt to remove misspelled words in a wordprocessing program.
*The lightbulbs give you the reason Homestar's pants kept shining.
*Parachute Pants are large billowy pants which come in at the waist and ankles with snug elastic bands.
*Homestar insists that he has "lightglobes", not lightbulbs. In Australia, it is common for lightbulbs to be called lightglobes.

===Trivia===
* This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.
* In the easter egg, the messages in the fortune cookies read "You are not as good as most people" before they are completely unraveled.

=== Remarks ===
*Perhaps Strong Bad doesn't answer the original question because it is already shown why Homestar doesn't wear pants in an Easter Egg to [[monument]]. Homestar was distracted by the [[Thnikkaman]] and never wound up putting pants on.
*Strong Bad's opening song is similar to the one in [[the show]].
*Homestar's feet might be shoes that blend in with his legs/pants. This is shown in [[New Boots]] when his shoe is thrown at him.
*Homestar Runner's judo outfit in [[montage]] includes white pants.
*Strong Bad and Homestar note his lack of pants in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*Although Strong Bad has ruined the Lappy's screen in the email, it is still pristine in the current SB Email main menu.
*Several cartoons and shorts show Homestar "naked", but we can see that his ''pants''(?) are on. So that sparks the question, does Homestar really wear pants?
*It is interesting that Strong Bad would be disgusted by the sight of Homestar in Daisy Dukes when one considers that Homestar supposedly wears no pants at all!

=== Goofs ===
*Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker and when applying the white out, no ripples pop up on the screen.
*After he clears the screen and starts writing about the age old question, Homestar comes in. You can clearly see the text the whole time Homestar is there, but when Homestar leaves and Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, it's gone.
*The Klown Kare easter egg (by clicking on the socket) can still be clicked in the same location on the screen when the scene moves around.
*When Homestar appears close-up to the computer, if you zoom in, you can see that the disk label is slightly garbled, like it would be in a JPEG file. This is because it actually IS a JPEG being used to show both Homestar and the part of the background placed behind him, as the JPEG format does not allow for transparency.
**Additionally, the image appears to be displayed slightly above its proper location.
*When Strong Bad is writing with his pen, the reflection doesn't show up.
*There is a separate shadow on the white line in the Lappy's email client.

=== Inside References ===
*[[Edga Jr.]] is a reference to the e-mail [[virus]], in which his ambiguous relation, [[Edgarware|Edgar]], created Strong Bad's virus protection program. Also, whereas Edgarware was made in "mom's basement", Edga Jr. was made seven years later in "mom's sewing room".
*[[Atari Homestar]] is from [[Main Page 13]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*The business card easter egg makes reference to the [[Tragic Clown Dog]] from [[part-time job]].
*Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Intro]].
*Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (along with Homestar's response) may be a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".
*The noise made by Homestar's glowing pants is used often in [[Stinkoman]] cartoons.
*Strong Bad's "light pen" is based on his "light pen" from [[haircut]]—there, it was a black marker.

=== Real-World References ===
*Strong Bad throwing cue cards away during the intro song is a reference to the [http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/weatherunderground/images/film_dylan.jpg music video] for Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan. It could also be a reference to the video "Need You Tonight/Mediate" by INXS.
*The [[Wikipedia:Light Pen|light pen]] was an input device that would make an EGA or CGA monitor into a touch screen of sorts. You touched a light sensor to the screen, and it would calculate a position by sensing the 'flicker' of the monitor's cathode ray. A real light pen could never work with the [[Lappy 486]], since LCD displays do not flicker.
*[[Wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]] is an actor best known for his role as [[Batman]] on the campy '60s TV show. The Batman costume has tights with briefs over them, so Batman does not wear pants, either.

Homestar Runnar: /* Easter Eggs */ - removed "hola"

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Homestar Runnar — Fri, 08 Apr 2005 00:12:18 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Updated for the 90's */

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is very long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

====Homestar's "Arms"====
Unless Homestar is holding the microphone under his armpit when he is reciting his list, this is another one of those times when it's questionable as to how many invisible arms he has: he holds the microphone in one hand, his cards in the other, and flips them over each other all at the same time.
*'''Comment.''' I stuffed this because it's very much in question whether Homestar has invisible "arms" or some other way to "hold" objects. Opinions? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:59, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' You could add this fact to any toon or email which features Homestar manipulating an object. Hopefully, we won't. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 07 Apr 2005
*'''Accept.''' In how many other toons does homestar appear to be handling more objects than could be reasonably handled using two arms? --[[User:208.0.20.2|208.0.20.2]] 15:52, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Marzipan's Parasol====
Marzipan is carrying a toothpick parasol one would normally receive with a tropical drink, only hers seems to be much larger than normal.
Except that tropical drink parasols are modelled after real parasols . . . which are, you know, real . . .
*'''Decline.''' I guess some people have never seen actual people-sized paper parasols. Marzipan's is not a drink parasol, it's an Asian-style paper one! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:45, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' Man, what a dumblecake. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 19:58, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' I'm a dumblecake too then. I didn't realize just *how* similar a drink parasol resembles a real parasol till I looked up the two right now. An honest mistake on whoever's part, no need for insults.--[[User:208.0.20.2|208.0.20.2]] 15:58, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Scalawag====
"Scalawag" may possibly be a reference to a Calvin and Hobbes strip in which Calvin and Hobbes sing the "Very Sorry Song" :
:(Calvin) "I'm sorry, so sorry I took your precious flaaaaag"
:(Hobbes) "Just don't do it again you scurvy scalawaaaaaag"
*'''Revise''' Maybe "The fact that SB ends the song with the word scalawag..." [[User:DeadGuyPerez|DeadGuyPerez]]
*'''Decline.''' Maybe it is a C & H reference. Maybe it's a reference to Southerners who supported Reconstruction. Maybe TBC just liked the sound of the word and thought it would be funny. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Decline.''' Geez, I already deleted this one! Scalawag is just a word. C&H didn't invent it. This is a huge stretch. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 13:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' I don't need to explain this, do I? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 14:31, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Calvin and Hobbes is a good comic strip, but as with the STUFF below, it is too obtuse to be called a reference to it. (Was this written by the same person as the one below?) --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 18:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Jay|The guy whose name is the letter after I and before K]]
*'''Declination Jackson''' So they just happen to have used the same word, and it's a reference? Not bloody likely. Besides, any fun fact with the words "may possibly be" should be burned instantly. With fire. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 20:01, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' The word ''scalawag'' has been around much longer than ''Calvin and Hobbes''. --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 14:51, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==== "Tough Guys"? ====
This is the only reference to homosexuality in the entire site, '''and thankfully Strong Bad handled it more maturely than most "tough guys" would have.'''
*'''Revise''': This is an interesting fact, but I think that the part in bold is a bit unecessary. After all, this is a knowledge base, not a place for rants. If you wanted to put something like this, I suggest doing it in the forum. Besides, this is easily infered from reading the transcript. I think that the part in bold needs to be deleted, and the rest added back into the Fun Facts. --[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]
**'''Comment.''' I assume this is an '''Accept'''. Please sign your vote! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Neutral.''' This is hardly a rant. I don't think the statement loses anything by removing the "offending" clause, however. I ''would'' change "this is the only reference" to "this is one of the few references". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
**'''Comment.''' But this ''is'' the only reference to homosexuality on the site. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 12:50, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment.''' It's ''currently'' the only reference on the site. For all we know, the entire cast will be outed tomorrow and it will become the ''first'' reference among many. The guidelines for this section says that facts that become easily dated are bad facts. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
**'''Comment.''' In fact, I just convinced myself that it should say "This is the first reference" -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Comment:'''I'm just saying that it seems like a rant to me, and it's rather unecessary (The part in bold, that is). --[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]
**'''Comment.''' A rant against who? Tough Guys? The comment says that SB handles the situation "maturely". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*<strike>'''Accept.''' I think it's fine the way it is.</strike> '''Decline.''' Changed my mind, the point that it's the only reference to homosexuality on H*R is debatable and may possibly change, so the fact doesn't have much of a point to it. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 13:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' The ONLY reference? What about in the new [[HomestarTalker|Homestar Talker]]? "Pom-Pom and Strong Bad Are Totally Going Out!" We know Strong Bad is a guy, and Pom-Pom is called '''"he"''' many times throughout the site. [[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]
**'''Response''' Maybe "going out" just means they're going someplace together, like to a movie or something. It's possible for guys to do stuff together without it being "gay." [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 20:03, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' Wow... so many comments, but very few people willing to actually vote. This item is trying to point out something that is intended as a joke, and as such, it shouldn't need to be explained or have undue attention drawn to it. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:06, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Comment''' Heh-heh. Sorry about that remark. [[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]
*'''Accept with Revisions''' This is a time in history where many homosexuals are being recongnised. Though this, admittedly, isn't the ONLY reference, we should still note it was handled maturely. -Walking Armless
*'''Decline''' If he had handled it any other way than maturely, TBC would have been called homophobes. Doesn't matter though, I can't think of a reason why it would be important to point out a gay reference just as I can't see why it would be important to point out all the swears that have been used.

===[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]]===
====Hom Sar Ref====
On the third page, the line "GEE-AMES!" is actually a reference to the Homsar Main Page, when the mouse is moved over the "Games" bubble. --[[User:SgtKeeling|SgtKeeling]]

*'''Decline''' It doesn't sound to me like he pronounces it "gee-ames". [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' It is probably unintended by the creators. [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]]
*'''Calvin Decline''' Somehow this reminds me of the Simpsons: "Were you saying 'boo,' or 'boo-urns?'" [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 09:55, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Strong Decline.''' Homsar says "James," not "Gee-ames." [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:55, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' No offence, ISlayedTheKerrek, but the Homsar Main Page transcript is just one person's interpretation of what he says. When I listen to it, it could be James, but it could also be Gee-ames, too. -BlueNose
** It isn't GEE-AMES, and anyone who scrolls over the word "games" in the Homsar page will clearly hear him say James. If you hear Gee-Ames, I seriously suggest you get your ears checked. Oh, and sign your vote properly. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 09:45, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*** Well, actually, it's a bit more ambiguous if you hover over "Games" quickly and pull the cursor away before the weight falls. But it's even ''further'' from GEE-AMES that way, so '''Decline'''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' Homsar says no such thing. [[User:mk5dude|mk5dude]] 4 Apr 2005

*Actually, it's not. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:49, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' To re-iterate: Homsar says "James," not "Gee-ames." -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Decline''' Sounds more like "James!" to me. --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡βøв'''''</tt>]] 14:55, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Not Approved!''' Are you having a problem making a good fun fact or something? [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 09:49, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Approve.''' What Homsar is saying on the main page actually sounds more like "Jane" to me... but "Gee-ames" sounds like the kind of things that guy says. I think I heard him say that a couple of times. - Dingell

====Lil John====
On the third page, the line "GEE-AMES!" may be a reference to Lil John from Lil John and the East Side Boyz.

*'''Rewrite''' Uh huh... so HOW and WHY is it a reference to Lil John? If you can prove this, then it can be accepted. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 11:01, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Response''' I think he means how Lil' Jon says stuff like "YEE-AAAH!" [[User:The Jolly Dumple|The Jolly Dumple]] 4:17 PM, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
**'''Response''' Well, then, the person who wrote this fun fact should have said that. Keep in mind, however, that almost every rapper in existence says stuff like that. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:42, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''', unless Jolly Dumple is right. If he is, then '''Decline'''. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:56, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
**'''Second''' Seriously, dump any fact that relies on phrases like "might be". Especially if its about TBC referring to something obscure. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***'''Third.''' I'm agreeing with you on this one - these "might be" references are way too numerous, and in most cases, they're opinions.

====Trial Game origin====

The trial game is based upon the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] - the trial game's [http://www.homestarrunner.com/SevenSecondTrialGame.swf Flash file] contains graphics and sounds used on the Games menu but not in the trial game.

*'''Decline.''' It's a reference to Space Invaders. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 16:03, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
** Ooops, yeah, I was rather vague there, wasn't I? I didn't mean the style of game, I meant the actual nuts and bolts of the thing. The 'engine', as it were. I know such recycling would be relevant if it caused a bug or something else really obvious, like the VCR in SBEmail114 "The Facts" did, but this is harmless, so I wanted a judgement on it. [[User:The Archon|The Archon]] 18:13, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' It actually uses code from the games menu '''and''' Armless Invaders. But who expects them to code a new game just for an April Fools gag? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second.''' While I disagree that they wouldn't code a new game just for an April Fools' gag, I do agree that this fact is unnecessary and somewhat inaccurate. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 17:59, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====False Advertising====

The second page claims "ACCESS TO ALL 230+ STRONG BAD EMAILS!" when there were only 127 emails at the time it was posted. This parodies how subscription sites often flagrantly misrepresent their content.

*'''INFINITELY STRONG ACCEPT-erson!!!!!!!!!''' Why in the world was this stuffed???????????--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 16:25, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
** '''Decline''' Because the fact is redundant? Theres already a fact explaining that the toon is a joke on pay sites. Theres also another fact pointing out that the material in this toon doesn't actually appear anywhere else on the site. ''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Weak Accept.''' It's accurate and not obvious from the page itself. I won't miss it if it gets voted down though. [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
**'''Second''' --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:48, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' I think this was ment to be an ironic insider joke. Irony does not necessarily make a "fun" fact, but maybe it can be rewritten as an inside reference. [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]]
*'''Accept''' Fairly obvious, but a bit of a fun fact nonetheless.[[User:GreatG|GreatG]]
*'''Strong Accept.''' This goes under the file of "not everything needs to be STUFF'd! Let's leave it to the fun facts that deserve it, guys. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 21:48, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' It's slightly obvious now, but the information about how many emails there actually WAS at the time will make this Fun Fact more interesting as time goes on. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 05:04, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' Fine by me. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]
*'''ANTI-Accept''' Are all of you people serious?? If this goes up, it ought to be combined with the "this is a parody of websites becoming paysites" fact. It certainly shouldn't stand alone IMHO. It's redundant because the fact that the whole thing is based on pay sites is ALREADY STATED. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Like I said, if we accept this then we should list the other inaccuracies in the toon. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Uh, no we don't. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 21:27, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Uh, yes we do. There isn't anything different or special about this fact. Heck, even when they do make it to 230 e-mails it won't matter because when they reach 231 it becomes wrong again. People can get the joke without having a fun fact for it. If we accept this then we might as well list all the others. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Uh, no we don't, because not all the rest of them really deserve to be listed. This one does. And now, I upgrade my vote to '''Infinite Accept,''' with a small revision to include the e-mail total at the time. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 09:58, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***Donny's right, you know. Are we going to write separate facts involving the misrepresentation of "actual screenshots" or "answering machines out the wazoo"?

====Whats Her Face's lack of appearance====

For whatever reason, Whats her face was shown on the 4th page, but not at all in the "trial" TGS cartoon.

====Basement-to-Computer Room Ratio====

According to the "Trap Door" clip, the computer room and the basement are two different floors, even though Strong Bad is never seen going up stairs when he goes from the couch to the computer room in cartoons like [[morning routine]].

* '''Decline'''. Umm... There are several other references to this. 1. [[Arcade Game]]: "in da basement -sb", why would Strong Bad put this if they were on the same level? 2. [[strongbad_email.exe]] (All discs): The camera transition to the Bonus Stuff menu infers that the basement is downstairs.

* '''Decline''' In [[morning routine]] they might have just skipped the part where Strong Bad goes up the stairs for the sake of saving time. [[User:Ramrod|Ramrod]] 18:14, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' Hear here - showing Strong Bad go up and down stairs would take a whole new set of animation. Why bother? Traversing stairs isn't integral to the toon. Also see Venusy's comment above regarding "Arcade Game". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 18:03, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*I don't have the Email DVD, so I wouldn't know. And I just thought we should point out that this is the first time we see this. I've seen Fun Facts state that it was the first instance you see something when it is obvious and probably shouldn't be pointed out. And as for the note in [[Arcade Game]], characters point out things that you can see obviously all the time, and maybe the computer room and the basement were two different rooms in the whole basement. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 10:36, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**But why would Strong Bad leave a note saying they were in the basement IN the basement? '''Decline''' --[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*If you think [[Arcade Game]] is the first sighting of the difference between the computer room and the basement, then why don't you just list that under Fun Facts on ''it''? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 20:42, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment.''' Because the appearance in Arcade Game is self-explanatory. When someone says they're "in da basement," it's safe to assume you're going to have to go down stairs in order to get to where that person is. There's no reason to state this in that e-mail, and as such, there really is no reason for it to be stated in this one. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]

====Tall homestar?====
In that clip on the second page, Strong Bad says the trap is a 2-foot trap. When homestar falls, about 3/4 of his body is still above the floor. He must be about 8-9 feet!

====Sweating====
Mr. Shmallow sweating is a reference to old television sets where the lights required to light up the set often made the set uncomfortably hot.

*'''Weak Decline.''' I have to admit this one has had me stumped for a long time. It's the best explanation I've seen yet, but I'm not sure it's the right one. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 31 Mar 2005

There's nothing in the 'toon to even suggest the above as being more than mere speculation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:02, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline''' -- It's true that the lights of early television sets made the actors sweat a great deal. However, Mr. Shmallow is not from the 40's-50's era of television, he's from the 30's (allegedly; I'm not convinced that the Brothers Chaps can tell the difference...). [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 16:07, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Accept''' Hey, it could be true. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 16:22, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**But it could ''more easily'' be false. I don't think the minimum burden of proof has been met to justify including it. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
***Fine, then. '''Declination''' begins now! [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 19:07, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept.''' Watch any of the old-timey shows and you'll see how much everyone is sweating. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw Mr. Shmallow sweat.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 21:20, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**The problem is that (1) they're on film, not TV, (2) nothing in the shot where he's sweating makes it look like he's under any lights, bright or otherwise, and (3) it's the only instance I can recall that a 1936-era character has sweated like this. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. 1) Being on film wouldn't change a whole lot necessarily, considering it's a low-budget-ish commercial, so, given that and the time era, it WOULD have the hot lights no matter what. 2) Would YOU want the lights visible when you're shooting? Hmm? 3) There's a first time for everything. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 22:37, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Stronger-est? Decline.''' Like I said below: If you can't prove it, don't post it. He could be sweating for any number of reasons. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''ULTRA SUPER DECLINE''' He isn't sweating. The moon just ate him so now he's dripping with spit from its "mouth thingy".
**But his glasses were fogging up...not to say that's from sweat, necessarily...

====Overlapped voice====
This is one of the few times Strong Bad has used his ability to overlap his own voice. This ability is first introduced in techno.

====Homestar's Shoes, part 2====
They might not be blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet but actual shoes, according to [[New Boots]] anyway. He also refers to them as shoes in [[Everybody Knows It]], where he says, "So, I guess it's back to putting dog food in my shoes, huh?"

*'''Decline''' Wasn't this bit about Homestar's shoes already tackled and Declined? Also STUFF'd due to conversational style. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Shorter E-mail====
This email is much shorter than most recent emails, being at least half a minute shy of its predecessor.

*'''Modify and Accept''' I think it could have been because they also released the April Fools gag on the same week, so if you add that information it might be kinda interesting... ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 05:07, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Edga Jr. removes text?====
Strong Bad opens up [[Edga Jr.]] and when it goes away, all the text written before it is gone.

*'''Weak Decline''' Since Strong Bad actually calls up the text in question bringing back his e-mail program with no problems, I really don't see this as being a Goof (I moved it here from Goofs). --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' Just watched it and the text from the e-mail comes RIGHT back after the splash screen. Upgrading my vote to '''Severe Decline.''' --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:46, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Homestar Over Correction Fluid====
When Homestar appears on the Lappy's screen, he isn't covered by the correction fluid, but rather, he shows up on top of it.

*'''Weak Accept, but Move''' Like the above item, this doesn't seem so much as a Goof as a Remark - given that Homestar is acting crazy when this happens, certainly odd things would happen that aren't necessarily Goofs on the toon's creators' part. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Klowning Arkound====
The fact that "Kertified Klown Kare" has every word starting with K might be a reference to Krusty the Clown, from The Simpsons, who tends to use that letter a lot and is, obviously, a clown.

*'''Severe Decline!''' Man, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth from reading it. It's just what clowns do! -[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 14:18, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

*There was actually a "K.K.K" joke like that on the Simpsons. Still doesn't make this a reference to it. '''Decline'''. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*"decline" However, on the simpsons there was the Krusty Komedy Klassic.
*'''Decline''' Lots of things use Ks instead of Cs. (Though I do love the K in place of the ''soft'' C here, that's irrelevant to the fact.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Awww... Get fun!''' Because this "fact" sure isn't. Someone put this on the Klown Kare site I made, and I baleeted it. Whimsical misspellings are done worldwide, not just by Krusty. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 19:11, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Self-Made Man====
Homestar saying "I'm a long-pants man, long pants long pants" is a possible reference to [[Bubs]]' [[Character Videos|Character page]] where he says "I'm a self-made man, I am I am".

*'''Decline''' Just watched Bubs' Character Page, and the line he says sounds nothing like what Homestar says in [[long pants]]. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
* I gotta '''Accept''' this, because my keen ears detect some sort of similarity. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:35, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Accept''' It does sound similar. It also sound like a reference the Bros Chaps would make. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:28, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
** '''Second''' [[User:Ramrod|Ramrod]] 18:10, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Reaching. Lower-hanging fruit would be to compare it to HR's own character page where he says "butt dance butt dance", and it still wouldn't be a fun fact for me. [[User:sninky-chan|sninky-chan]] 18:41, 4 Apr 2005 (CET)
*'''Decline''' Only vaguely similar, not close enough for moi. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' If it IS a reference, its rhythm actually sounds more like something out of Dr. Seuss. - Walking Armless

====2nd Homestar Crying====
This is the second time Homestar cried in an email. The first was [[crying]].

*'''Decline''' First times can be interesting. Second times, not so much. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:48, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Second''' Yes there is, Donny. And I'm gonna say what someone said in their vote for the crying fun fact. The word "second" is an immediate disqualification for this being a viable item.
*** An immediate disqualification is also in order for those who don't sign their votes. and '''Delete,''' by the way. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 19:58, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This is so uninteresting. The point of funfacts isn't a place to count how many times who does what. You wouldn't see a fun fact saying that "This is the eighth time Strong Bad blames the Cheat for something in an e-mail" (made number up). I'm declining it basically on the grounds that nobody really cares. -- [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 9:51 AM 2 April 2005

====Red Screen====
When Homestar finishes going nuts, the screen turns red, like in [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*'''Decline.''' Big deal. It's not even the same kind of red. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:17, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Edga Jr., Tompkins, and Ron Cumberdale...long lost triplets?====

Edga Jr. bears a striking resemblance to Tompkins and Ron Cumberdale, one of the things the The Three Keepers of Trogdor turn you into if you get one of their questions wrong.

*'''Decline.''' At least in Tompkins' case. I don't think Edga Jr. looks like Tompkins at all. I don't know about Ron Cumberdale...but I doubt it too. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 12:03, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
* Eh, they all look like generic nerds if anything. '''Decline'''. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' I saw this one earlier and almost STUFF'd it myself. People are REALLY stretching to make references here, aren't they? --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Although [[Edga Jr.]] does looks like a mix between [[Tompkins]] and [[Ron Cumberdale]], this is a stretch. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 11:18, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Hmm... it's kinda tough to say Cumberdale looks like anyone, seeing as how he's composed of roughly eight pixels. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 15:13, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
Could someone post a picture of the three of them side by side?

====Clanky?====
"Clanky" is a reference to the popular video game [[Wikipedia:Ratchet & Clank|Ratchet & Clank]].

*'''Revise.''' Replace "is" with "could be". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 16:08, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''"Second."''' [[User:Aussie Evil|The Great Aussie Evil]] 23:00, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' "Clanky" was just said as a mispronunciation of Clancy. It's not like Ratchet and Clank coined the word Clank anyway.
**'''Second''' But sign your vote. And I think that any fun fact that cannot be confirmed (could be, might be, its possible that) should be removed or STUFF'D till it can be confirmed. Maybe then kids wouldn't be so eager to try and make a connection to their favorite game/show/movie what have you. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***'''Decline Second'd, Suggestion Weak Accept'd''' I agree that there are way too many of these types of "possible references" being made, but STUFFing every single one would be REALLY time-consuming and would bloat this page way more than it already is. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
***Well, I don't mean that every un-confirmed fact should get stuffed. But crap like this one where there is clearly no connection could and should be deleted without any fuss or voting.

*'''Decline''' And The Cheat is a reference to Cheato the Spellbook in Banjo-Kazooie! And the King of Town is a reference to King Daphnes in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker! Or not, since there are about -1 pieces of evidence that there's any intentional correlation at all. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Sam I Am====
Homestar saying "I have long pants, I wear long pants..." is a reference to Dr Seuss's childeren's book "Green Eggs and Ham"
*''' Severe Decline and Baleted-erson''' No it's not. If the phrase was "I have long pants, Long pants I have" where the subject and the object are reversed, than it would be a refrence. But it is not.--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 19:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Severe Decline''' 1000% no. Where did you get this idea from? The fact that both have verbs in it? Oh! "Am" and "have" are both verbs with the letter "a!" That HAS to be a reference... Come on, guys... This doesn't even belong on STUFF :-( →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 21:49, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Bedroom Window====
Homestar's bedroom window was right next to his bed in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], but in the Easter Egg, you can't see the window anywhere, even though it should be in the shot. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 13:52, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

**It wasn't a run-on, but I still Decline. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 11:08, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
**It totally was. It should have been broken into two sentences; somewhere between "Presents" and "but".
**'''Revise, accept''' It is a run-on scentence. Try:
Homestar's bedroom window was right next to his bed in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. However, in the Easter Egg, you can't see the window anywhere even though it should be in the shot.
*'''Decline''' He could just be laying at the other end of the bed, thus the room would be flipped. Gah, most of the "goofs" posted aren't even genuine and this is no exception. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' This is not fun! Also, a run-on sentence needs to lack a conjunction or semicolon to be a run-on sentence, ***LACK*** an example would be this one I'm typing now. --[[User:sninky-chan|sninky-chan]] 18:44, 4 Apr 2005 (CET)
**Totally untrue. Run-on sentences can have conjunctions; haven't you ever seen someone overuse the word "and?" Example: I went to the store and I bought some candy and then I went home and then I watched TV. There are conjunctions there, but it's still run-on. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:34, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***The sentance is fine, it just uses commas in the wrong place. Still doesn't make this a good fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' Seems interesting enough... and before the grammar police take over the world, it should be noted that you can't start a sentence with "however". -Dingell
*'''DECLINE, and I have proof.''' [[HR:xmas04.html|Watch the toon.]] When we first see Homestar in bed, we ''can't see the window.'' After he sits up, the camera moves, and ''lo and behold'' there the window is. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:32, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Now, are we going to argue about Homestar Runner, or are we going to argue about grammar? ...Grammar!
***The original fact is not a run-on sentence. From ''The American Heritage Dictionary:'' A run-on sentence is "a sentence in which two or more independent clauses are not properly joined by a semicolon or conjunction." (This is backed up by other dictionaries.) The original fact has a conjunction (namely, ''but''), which properly joins the clauses. Therefore, although the sentence may be too wordy for some people, grammatically it's a good sentence.
***Technically, beginning a sentence with ''however'' is not wrong either. But it ''is'' poor style. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:32, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Outta Sync?====
Strong Bad's movements are not in sync. He says "Holy Crap!" way too early.

*'''Decline''' If the movements of Strong Bad's mouth are out of sync, why dontcha look at the .swf version and turn down the quality? But, why should it matter? --[[User:the spludge|the spludge]] 20:19, 26 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline''' Although it's the words and not the mouth, anyone going to the site will notice this.
*'''Revise and Accept.''' It isn't that his mouth is out of sync with the animation—rather, the words weren't animated at all. The only reason his mouth moves is due to the surprise of his falling. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:19, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The problem is that he says "Holy Crap!" just before falling, which completely takes away the comedic timing of an otherwise hilarious gag.
**'''Second''' Did it use to work? Because I think it was fine a long time ago, but not anymore. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:50, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' It DOES screw with the timing of the joke. Mouth movements aren't the issue here. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

===[[crazy cartoon]]===
====Sealab 2021====
"I'm gonna get you, Eh! Steve!" is a possible reference to an episode of the cartoon "Sealab 2021" called "Waking Quinn," in which a shark yells "I'm gonna get you Stinky Pete!" about seven minutes into the episode.

*'''Weak Decline''' At first, I wanted to be sure that the episode in question aired before [[crazy cartoon]], but as it turns out, the quote isn't precise ("I'll get you, Eh! Steve!" is the actual phrase). --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 16:06, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**I did check TVTome.com, and the episode in question DID air before "crazy cartoon". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*'''Major Decline''' It's likely that the Bros. Chaps watch Sealab, since they did a song for it. However, this reference is a huge stretch. "I'll get you (whoever) if it's the last thing I do!" is a common cliché phrase for villains. Sealab and this email were referencing the same general phenomenon.

**'''Second''' -- [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 09:22, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second''' Listen, people, I don't know if you've figured this out yet, but just because you hear something in a movie then on something else doesn't automatically mean it's a reference, unless the movie says something that hasn't been said before. Like, if Strong Bad says "a little bit of the old ultraviolence", That would be a reference to A Clockwork Orange since that was basically the first popular movie to say that, but what if he said a phrase that has been used for decades and just happened to be in some popular movie, that doesn't make it a reference, okay?

*'''Agree''' I never noticed that before.
*'''Comment and a decline''' The use of "hell" in the toons is more on the slang side than actual cursing. In the case of Parsnips its just referring to the fiery place of torment. So the use of "hell" isn't really worth noting. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[techno]]===
Strong Bad might have said "Oh very clever" after reading the name Silent J because it could be a reference to Jay and Silent Bob, a pair of recurring characters from [[Wikipedia:Kevin Smith|Kevin Smith's]] movies. It also may be clever because it's referring to the concept of a silent letter (for example, one would say "the word 'jalapeno' has a silent J"), and making reference to Silent Bob at the same time.

*'''Decline.''' I think the Silent Bob connection is a real stretch. The silent letter connection is much more reasonable. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 25 Mar 2005
*'''Revise.''' Funny, I think it's the other way around. It never occurred to me that "Silent J" would be anything but a play on "Jay and Silent Bob," but maybe that's my pop-culture-saturated brain. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 10:01, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Comment''' I had thought he meant the fact that "Silent J" would mean he shouldn't actually say anything at all, so he was sort of duped, and he was mockingly calling him clever. I don't know. [[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 22:48, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
** Ummm...no.Thats more of a stretch than the "jalepeno" part of the fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
** I think this is what is meant as well. After reading an e-mail, Strong Bad almost always starts his response with "Well, [insert name]", or "......, eh [insert name]?" Since the writer is calling himself Silent J, Strong Bad is at a loss to use his name in his reply.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 21:38, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' FWIW, "jalapeño" does not in fact have a silent J. The j is pronounced like an h, but it's certainly not silent. - [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 09:25, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' - but the only revision this needs is to remove the uncertainty, because it's clearly a reference to Jay and Silent Bob.

====Calvin and the Cotton Gin====
In a Calvin and Hobbes strip, Calvin sometimes would use "The Cotton Gin" as an answer to problems he did not know, even on math tests.
*'''Weak Decline''' Since the answer was right on that test (and never right on Calvin's tests) I don't think this is the case. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
**'''Comment''' We never actually see the questions to the test (except the first, which is "Are you all going to be in my experimental film?"), so we don't know if the answer is right. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 09:47, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
*** '''Comment on comment''' Actually, we know the answer was wrong, because the test-taker got an A+ after selecting a ''different'' answer (specifically, "Yeah!") --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:56, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*** '''Comment on my own comment''' Well, okay, actually, I was assuming that it was multiple-choice and that the test-taker was selecting the first of four possible answers (notice the hilight). I suppose four questions being on a different page never really occurred to me before now. Oh, well, whatever. The test-taker got an A+. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:01, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Second'''
*'''Decline.''' Theres an essay by Mike Nelson (of '''Mystery Science Theater 3000''' fame) about how Eli Whitney and the cotten gin were all kids used to learn about in school. So the cotten gin answer isn't really an original idea (or at least not one to put a specific reference on). [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Weak Decline''' I read and own many Calvin and Hobbes comic collections. In my reading, I noticed that while Calvin did use The Cotton Gin as answers, he mostly just puts down random answers to questions he didn't know the correct answer to. Other answers include "Trostsky, Lexington, 1824", and so on. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 17:27, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Mahir Cagri reference====
Strong Bad's closing remark that the writer of the email may be big in Pakistan tomorrow might be a reference to Mahir Cagri; a Turkish citizen whose personal website was the number one personal website of 2001.

====Monty Python and the Holy Subtitles====
The pseudo-Swedish subtitles are very (too?) similar to the opening credits of Monty Python's Holy Grail.
*'''Decline''' There is a very key difference between them. In Monty Python, the subtitles are meant to look like they're in a foreign language when they're not. In little questions, they are meant to look English, translating pseudo-English being spoken to a Swede. That's not close enough for me. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:17, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

It is quite possible that Strong Bad's reference to "those weird little kids" could be refering to the Scooby-Doo cartoon series.

**'''Responding to the previous two''' He says in the same sentence that he's solving a Celebrity ''Murder Mystery'' which is what the Scooby gang did all the time. I don't much care for that series myself, but it's probably true. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

====Strong Bad is an Old Man====
Strong Bad says that he appeared as a guest in the Castlefunnies comic strip, which he later notes was cancelled prior to the "dry pencil scare of '47". Since the email clearly takes place in 2004 (as noted at the end), this makes Strong Bad at least 57 years old.
*'''Accept''' [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 15:49, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' or even better '''Move'''. Excellent observation, but I think it would serve better on Strong Bad's and Homestar Runner's character biographies, stating that they must both have been born prior to 1947 according to this email. --[[User:62.252.224.13|62.252.224.13]] 16:19, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' I put up this fact, and I think it's useful and "fun" as an anecdote, but it probably shouldn't be taken as a hard fact within the Homestar universe. Just to note a few contradictions that would arise if Strong Bad were in fact this old: (1) We probably wouldn't be able to have a VHS tape of Little Strong Sad performing stand-up comedy at school, (2) If the King of Town was already King in 1947, then The Cheat must have "mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox" before 1947, because the king was still a prince when said jambox-mashing occurred in sbemail 100, (3) A fiftysomething man goes trick-or-treating, and his mom helped him with his costume (Homestarloween Party)? Seems a bit strange. But anyway, I think it's worth pointing out the age factor.
*'''Comment''' I'm not too sure, I mean, the email is really just looking at it as though the character of Strong Bad was used back then(since, as just a character, the age wouldn't matter. The idea for Strong Bad's character could've been around then, but then later used in modern day times, like, for example, Popeye or Mickey Mouse, for whom age isn't an important factor.), but it's presented through Strong Bad's point of view, thus implying that he would have aged since then. Sure, one could note that "Strong Bad has been around for 58 years", but saying that Strong Bad himself is over 58 years old doesn't work for me. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

*'''Comment''' Chew on this: There's a 1936 version of Strong Bad out there, so it could be an "older" version of Strong Bad in the Castlefunnies, and not actually the present-day one. As it is, the other Castlefunnies characters look different from their present-day counterparts, and the Poopsmith actually had a different name.
*'''Decline.''' First of all, the castlefunnies was not syndicated in 1947. The strip is in color, and it's only one line long, not half a page! The poopsmith talking in commas is a clear reference to woodstock in the Peanuts strip, who didn't even exist until the late 1960s. And the font used for the title "The Castlefunnies" looks much too modern. When Strongbad talks about the fact that the dry pencil scare of '47 only lasted three days, what he's saying (assuming he's not just making up the pencil scare just to be sarcastic) is that there was NO pencil scare at the time that they started producing the castlefunny pencil moistener (whenever that happened to be--looking at the comic strip style, I'd guess in the 60s at the earliest, though possibly as recent as modern day). --[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 08:52, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Rudiments ====
"rrll rrll" is a common short-hand notation for a [http://www.vicfirth.com/education/rudiments/06longroll.html double-stroke roll], which is a percussion rudiment executed by playing two strokes on a single hand followed by two in the alternate hand and repeating.

*'''Decline''' This is more likely a variation of "[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=grrl grrl]."

***What, they're going to go out and get a new guitar everytime they need one? I stand by my vote, its no different than the other times they re-use stuff. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
****Again, I respectfully disagree. It's different when you're dealing with small things like a can, or a spoon, or a bottle of ketchup - I agree that when it's reused more than once, it shouldn't be included. A guitar, on the other hand, is not a small thing, and in the context of this toon, it's a very noticeable item. And given that this is (possibly) the first time that a live-action shot was included in a SBE-mail, I think it's notable. I do agree that not every re-used prop deserves its own fun fact, but I do think that this one DOES deserve mentioning. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*****C'mon, the guitar also shows up in the 100th e-mail along with Limozeen. Its not important enough to point out everytime it shows up. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
******Geez, lighten up... for starters, that's in an easter egg, not the main cartoon. And as I said before, live-action bits in an animated series are special cases. But this bickering is meaningless - unless someone else votes, it's at a deadlock. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*******'''Decline.''' Since you said it was a deadlock... I think it's a silly fun fact. I'm sure the Brothers Chaps don't have new guitars lying around for every time they want to put one in a toon. Of course it's always the same guitar. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 20:40, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment.''' Quite frankly, I find the "TBC re-use items all the time!" argument to be weak. This is a place where people look for connections between toons, and while not EVERY re-used item deserves a mention (the Wiki would be clogged with entries about ketchup bottles, old cans, and wooden spoons), there must be certain times when the reappearance of re-used items is notable. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
* Right right (and I'm the one who needs to lighten up). Look, the guitar also shows up on the Limozeen poster in Haircut. Is there going to be a fun fact for that appearance as well? It doesn't matter whether the guitar shows up in an easter egg or as part of the main cartoon. Its a re-used prop, not any different than TBC re-using the animated props. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**I think the point I'm trying to make is that in those other instances, the guitar is not an active part of the toon. The fact that in "best thing" the guitar is *tossed* from animated to live-action makes it noticeable, and therefore, notable in the fun facts. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
** Um no, that still just makes it a PROP. And it still doesn't change the fact that its had other appearances before Best Thing. In fact, it shows up almost everytime Limozeen does so its safe to assume it'll show up again in the future. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***"Almost?" I think not - it doesn't show up in their picture in [[monster truck]], it doesn't show up in their [[Limozeen Thanksgiving E-cards]], or any of their other appearances besides the easter eggs in [[haircut]] or [[flashback]] (which are the guitar's ONLY other appearances besides [[Puppet Time]]). Still, there's a difference between a prop that's just for scenery and a prop that is an active part of the action - in the easter egg appearances, it's just held with no explicit reference being made to it. This isn't the case in Puppet Time and Best Thing. And my reasoning for the weakness of the "TBC re-use items" argument is that the average viewer won't say "Hey, the Brothers Chaps re-use that guitar cuz they can't afford to go out and get a new one each time they wanna put one in a live-action shot" - the average viewer is more likely to say "HEY! That guitar looks just like the one Homestar takes away in 'Puppet Time'." An electric guitar is a noticeable item, other minor props like a bottle of ketchup or an old can are not - there is a diference, end of story.--[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
**Theres a bit of a flaw to your reasoning there guy. The use of the guitar isn't meant to be in refererence to anything. Its not important or central to the gag at hand. They could've used the black guitar for all it mattered. It would not have changed the joke at all. As I keep saying, ITS JUST ANOTHER PROP. If someone had posted that the guitar in Puppet Time was the same one in Flashback would you have rejected that fun fact? In fact, since you have to go out of the way to view the easter eggs its logical that pointing out the guitar's appearances in Hair cut and Flashback are more important than the one in Best thing. After all, if not everyone is going to see the easter eggs then its decidedly harder to note the use of the guitars. And thats what fun facts are for right? Pointing out stuff that people normally wouldn't notice right? So if we wouldn't point it out for the easter eggs why should we point it out here? But you go ahead and be obtuse and declare victory all you want. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***There's a flaw in YOUR reasoning - it's more central to the gag at hand than either of the easter eggs in Haircut or Flashback, someone DID point out the guitar's appearance in Flashback, no I wouldn't have rejected it (being only the second time it's been used), and going out of the way to get the easter eggs does NOT make it more important than the reference in Best Thing - in fact, the easter eggs make them less important as they're not an integral part of the toon. And I'm not being obtuse, you're being argumentative (as usual). --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
** I like how you added in "as usual", as if we've had a million arguments before when in fact I do believe this is the closest thing to an argument I've had here (and if it isn't, its the first one I've had with you. The fact is that if the guitar had been a cartoon prop people would've jumped on it screaming "TBC re-use things all the time". The guitar was not central to joke. It could have been any guitar that was thrown. Therefore, its just another prop. Second, one thing you said is that this fact is valid because some viewers might not have noticed the guitar's re-usage. The re-use is even less important if its been pointed out elsewhere on the site (hey, lets mention that Homsar started out in the e-mail "Homsar" everytime he appears). ITS. JUST. A. PROP.

==== A DV-what? ====
From the style of animation portrayed, the bizarre space setting, and the availability of VHS VCRs, the Limozeen cartoon pilot likely aired some time in the early-to-mid-1980's. However, Larry's mentioning of DVDs at the end of the episode suggests that it could not have aired before 1997, when DVDs first hit the American market, and likely aired even later when old television shows started being sold on DVD.

The dialog at the end of the cartoon about Limozeen (who are parody of 80's Hair Metal Bands) being kicked off the charts by an Alternative band that has a girl as a bassist, etc. is most likely a reference to the fact that by the early 1990's people were tired of the excesses of Hair Metal bands and the popularity of that genre was already on the wane. Alternative Rock bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer (SP had 2 female bassists, Weezer's lead singer wears glasses) which were generally considered by many music critics to be smarter, hipper and closer to the roots of what rock is all about, put the nail in the coffin of the L.A. Glam Metal scene.
*'''Revise.''' A little too much info, like previously STUFF'd fact. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:02, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' a bit too wordy... perhaps condense this info by taking out the social commentary (basically everything after 'by the early 1990's) and just stick to facts like 'Smashing Pumpkins had 2 female bassists' --[[User:211.252.38.203|211.252.38.203]] 18:30, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Second (though leaning towards decline)''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' Anyone who understands the joke about Limozeen being a hair metal band probably is already aware of the Alternative takeover of the early 90s. This item is simply explaining the joke - which, IMO, was a weak one to begin with. Any of the above revisions make this item even more obvious. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 09:16, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== The Claw ====
One villain has a claw that is the same as the one from the ''Kick the Cheat Demo''.

*'''Accept''' I didn't know that. Good fact, I think.--[[User:67.177.52.133|67.177.52.133]] 17:21, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Severe Decline.''' What? Do you mean that the claw is SIMILAR? Because the Kick the Cheat Demo isn't in an "animation" style, it's in the regular style. The claw is definitely not the same one. (And even if it were, TBC reuse flash items all the time) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:10, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''"STRONG ACCEPT!"''' Good eye, good eye! --[[User:Aussie Evil|Aussie Evil]] 13:15, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' It does look the same but I don't think its worth noting. Like Evin said, TBC re-use stuff all the time. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' Even if it does look the same, it is worth noting that the claw is reappearing. [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]]

==== Guy With a Metal Jaw ====
With his mechanical jaw and arm, Mitch Overlord seems designed to resemble Trap-Jaw; one of Skeletor's henchman in [[Wikipedia:Masters_of_the_Universe|the He-Man tv show]], another popular 80s saturday morning cartoon series.
:Or, Dr. Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon.
:Or, Baron Underbite from The Venture Brothers.
:Or, Malak from SW:KOTOR (At least with the head and voice)
::Which, in turn, could have been designed to resemble another character from an 80's saturday morning cartoon show
:Or, Hacker from Centurions (a cartoon created in 1986)

*'''Revise''' Condense this somehow. Like 'With his mechanical jaw and arm, Mitch Overlord seems designed to resemble any number of cliche cartoon villains like Trap Jaw (from He-Man), Dr. Claw (from Inspector Gadget)' etc.. etc. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 18:32, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Second.''' Also remove "etc.. etc." --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 16:59, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This seems really vauge. A lot of villains could look like that. The "Or's" say enough.
*'''Decline''' Everyone should be able to recognise instantly that the villian is your generic 80s cartoon villian before being told in a 'fun' fact. Those that can't probably don't care. It's as useful as saying that limozeen's long hair is a reference to Poison and other bands where guys had long hair. --[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 22:12, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This. That. Other thing. No good. --[[User:Jay|Jay]]

==== See you in syndication ====
Larry's comment joining them next time 'In syndication! Or maybe on DVD!' could be a referance to short-lived shows like ''Clerks'' or ''Family Guy'' which after they were canceled begain airing in syndicates on other networks or on collectors DVDs.

*'''Decline''' It's pretty standard industry practice to show a cancelled show in syndication, even the wildly unsuccessful ones, since it makes the studio money. The recent phenomena of releasing everything in DVD format is just an extension of this. At any rate, this is way too obvious for a 'fun' fact, and we don't really need a thousand edits of this once everyone has added their own favorite, unjustly canceled show. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 18:44, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' It actually happened the opposite way with ''Clerks'': It was realeased on DVD then syndication. The joke is fairly obvious anyway and doesn't need a fun fact to explain it.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

==== The Beatles ====
The alternative rock band that knocked Limozeen off the charts may be a reference to The Beatles - The "girl" bassist (Paul McCartney, who was known as the "cute one"), the short-haired drummer (Ringo Starr), and the bespectacled lead singer (John Lennon).
*'''Decline''' The Beatles are not an alternative band, they were not responsible for destroying metal, and the bassist is not actually a girl, so I don't see why this would be a reference to the Beatles rather than a stereotypical alternative band. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 15:56, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' This one should have simply been deleted, for the reasons stated above. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 09:19, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Hmmm... I can't figure out if this is a serious comment, or just a joke about how many other Beatles references are on the page for this one. At any rate, definitely not relevant. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 08:50, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Need I really say why? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==== Strong Bad's cancelled Animal Planet show ====
Strong Bad's show that was cancelled may also be a refrence to Limozeen in Space being cancelled during it's pilot episode in best thing. (Originally posted in [[montage]], but would make more sense the other way around and posted in best thing, IMO).
*'''Decline''' I really don't see why. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 16:59, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' They are similar events, but there's no connection between them. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:05, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise/Move''' It's a re-used joke, sure... but a clear reference? Seems a bit of a stretch. Maybe it would be better to toss up a new page about the instances of this and linking to it on the [[Inside Jokes]] page (where it seems like it would most belong). --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 09:02, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Decline''' It's simply a re-used joke or a running gag, not a clear reference. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 09:21, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Background Goof ====
When the Limozeen spaceship is flying throughout space, the background obviously loops; however, it does not tile well at all, with noticeable seams flying by every second.

*'''Comment:''' I was going to put it in there, but I wasn't really sure how well it'd go over; chances are this is some minor joke or something that I'm not getting. Soo... is it a Goof or not? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:29, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite and Move, then Accept''' Maybe you could move it to real-world references, because old Hanna-Barberra (or whatever) cartoons obviously looped too. Though the noticible seam thing is worth thinking about. Hmmm... I think it should be used as a reference to cartoons like The Flinstones. But I'm rambling. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 19:07, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
** '''Absolutely not!''' References to "This that and the other thing" are totally useless and encourage people to add to it, making it MORE useless. Maybe an Explanation or Remark, but not a Reference. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Rewrite.''' This is a decent reference to the common practice of looping backgrounds in cartoons, and the Fun Fact should reflect that. This item should be split into two parts - one regarding the looping and the other regarding the noticeable seams. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 23:14, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Babylon 5 ====
"Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a combined reference to [[Wikipedia:Encounter_at_Farpoint|Encounter at Farpoint]] (the first episode of [[Wikipedia:Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]) '''and the popular science-fiction show [[Wikipedia:Babylon_5|Babylon 5]].''' (only the part in bold is in question)

*'''Accept:''' Babylon 5 is similar enough to Groupulon 5, and it's the same genre as both Star Trek and the email itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:56, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:51, 20 Mar 2005 (CST)
**'''Comment''' It's my opinion that for the reason above the Babylon reference is much stronger than the Star Trek reference. If the B5 ref is a stretch it seems to me that the ST ref is equally stretchy. [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:51, 20 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline:''' it seems too much of a stretch to me. personally i think it's just a generic sci-fi sounding name that they came up with.[[User:Keab42|Keab42]]

*'''Decline.''' Bratslava isn't a country, nor is it even spelled right! The correct spelling is Bratislava, which is the capital of Slovakia. The only one who could even really be considered a reference is Bumdumborge, and even that's a stretch. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]]
** '''Second''' The Luxembourg reference is TOO obvious, and the "Bratslavia" too wrong. The former Yugoslavia would work better, but it's still pretty obvious that SB was just making up country-like names off the top of his head (similar to Dortugal and Prance.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:23, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)
** Yeah, but at least Dortugal and Prance ARE real country names, only with the first letter changed. These ones are just totally random, and not correlating to anything, so... '''Second'''. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:27, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

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.

There is a real news radio station transmitting from Cleveland, OH with the call letters WSBD. The Brothers Chaps most likely did not know about this, as SBD can easily stand for Strong Bad.

*'''<s>Possible</s> Decline''' This might not be a fact at all, since the only positive reference I could find that listed a WSBD in Cleveland is [http://www.cisworldservices.org/newsarticles/news_wsbdradio1.html this page], which is likely a mistake by the author of the CIS webpage, as there is a [http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=wspd&x=0&y=0&is_unl=Y&is_lic=Y&is_cp=Y&sr=Y&s=C&sid= WSPD] radio station in Toledo, Ohio with a newsradio format.

Double Double Whippless Mochaccino Half Caf is a Coffee drink from Starbucks. However, it is actually called a Venti Half-caf frapaccino w/o whipped cream (not all Starbucks serve this). Double Double refers to a coffee from Tim Hortons with two creams and two sugars.

At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

'''VERDICT:''' This item is Accepted by a score of 8-1; it is added to the Glitch section of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]] --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 10:18, 18 Feb 2005 (MST)

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]
*Epiphone is owned by Gibson, numbnuts. Therefore, no knockoffs. It's the same guitar. - badamn_187

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

==== Back Buttons ====
The reason that this toon does not have a "Back" button is most likely because this cartoon appeared on the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu|Telebision Toons Menu]], which integrated the cartoons into the menu itself.
*'''Decline''' ...unless you can find that this is the ONLY toon that does not have a "Back" button, or that this is the ONLY toon that doesn't have the "Back" button for this specific reason. Otherwise, this ought to go on the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu|Telebision Toons Menu]] page and not on the specific toon pages. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 11:51, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)

Homestar called Strong Bad [[Stinkoman]]. This is the name Strong Bad will use for his [[20X6]] counterpart in [[japanese cartoon]].

*'''Decline''' Its not the first time a character was created based on a throwaway gag (Homsar for instance).
*'''Accept''', since it's a fairly interesting point.
*'''Accept''' This has been confirmed by TBC as the original source of the name "Stinkoman". I think this is significant enough to note here as well as in "japanese cartoon". - [[User:tim333|tim333]]

The one thing Strong Bad described would happen on the island that was not illustrated was salting his foot.. which didn't take place until [[interview]].

*I would have to say '''Decline''' to both of those. [[The_Brothers_Chaps|TBC]] probably have just been reusing cool ideas. Not any relation to future.
**Second that.
**'''Second''' --[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 09:49, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I doubt that Strong Bad salting his foot was in anyway foreshadowing another e-mail. Especially if we don't know if they had recieved the interview e-mail at that point.
**'''Second''' Plus both of these are already on the pages for the japanese cartoon and island emails

==== Mormon Missionary ====
E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are not allowed to use the Internet during that time.

*'''Accept.''' -- [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 09:04, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Oh, like: "E. Fullmer's name could be Ed Fullmer, a play on Elmer Fudd" or "E. Fullmer's name could be Evan Fullmer, a disc jockey in Georgia I know, and the brothers chaps are from Georgia." --24.21.86.243 00:19, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
**TBC claim not to have come up with any of the content in the e-mails Strong Bad answers, so the name is probably not a joke. Maybe someone who has experience with the LDS church could comment on whether it's common for an elder to sign in that fashion.--[[User:216.231.36.102|216.231.36.102]] 09:35, 4 Jan 2005 (MST)
***Don't suppose this matters much now, since it's verified that he was a Mormon missionary, but for the record no, it's not common at all. I'm a Mormon, and I've served a mission myself, and I've never seen "Elder" abbreviated like that (before). But apparently there's always a first time... --[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 02:19, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)
****In fact, actually, the more I think about this the less sense it makes. Not only is "Elder" in my experience never abbreviated to "E.", but it wouldn't make sense for him to be referring to himself as "Elder Fullmer" in the first place. If he's sending an e-mail saying he's going to be gone for two years and unable to access the web, that means he hasn't started his mission yet, and he wouldn't be calling himself "Elder Fullmer" yet. Okay, I understand someone says this guy is a friend of his coworker and he was indeed a soon-to-be Mormon missionary, fine, but...did his first name, by any chance, start with E? Because that would still make a lot more sense than the "E." standing for Elder when Elder isn't abbreviated that way and he wouldn't be calling himself Elder yet anyway. In fact, the personal testimonial notwithstanding, this rings false for me on enough levels I'm going to have to vote '''Decline''' on this one unless some more direct evidence arises. -[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 16:07, 1 Mar 2005 (MST)

:I'm going to have to '''Accept'''. Because it's true! And 216.231.36.102, it's not terribly common for missionaries to sign things that way, but I think he did it so people could get the joke without being so blatant as to write out Elder. I do know that H*R is saturatingly popular at both USU and BYU, so there would be plenty of people to get the joke. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 13:16, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Revise''' I think this should be reworded, because it has been verified. Something like "E. Fullmer is a Mormon missionary, which explains why he will be absent for the next two years," or something. [[User:Gydea|Gydea]]
**'''Decline the above revise, accept the original''' The original is a plausible enough explanation, whether it's true or not (and a lot of fun facts are based on more sketchy information). However, I would decline the above revise because someone posting on a message board about 'the best friend of my coworker' is not the same as verification. I should know... my brother's boss's former roommate was the guy whose stomach exploded because he mixed Pop Rocks and Coke. --[[User:211.252.38.203|211.252.38.203]] 00:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' I am an LDSer and when my dad signed his name on his mission in letters to home he signed it E. (his last name) because the E meant Elder. My cousin who goes to BYU and is also a Mormon come home from his mission says that Homestar Runner is very popular there because a lot more flash movies these days have swear words in them. Since Homestar Runner is pretty clean-humored, it's very well-known at Mormon-based schools like BYU, so it's possible that Mr. Fullmer went there and had to go on his mission. Anyhoo, I'm rambling. Signing off. --24.161.164.120

====A grill, a doghouse, a trash can, an igloo and the TARDIS====
The spacious interior of The Cheat's house may be a reference to Snoopy's house from the Peanuts comics. It also looked small and ordinary on the outside, but was very large and luxurious on the inside, housing, among other things, his prized Van Gogh. It might also be a reference to Oscar the Grouch's trash can (from Sesame Street), which is also small on the outside, but contains a swimming pool and a number of other facilities within. It could also be a reference to the Nickelodeon show Doug, where his smart dog's (Porkchop) igloo is WAY roomier than it looked. Or even the TARDIS from Dr Who...

*'''Neutral''' I doubt its a reference to any those, but for some reason, I don't want to decline it. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 22:03, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak decline - needs severe rewrite''' This is actually a combination of several entries from that page that should have been combined in a single fact, so I did. The trouble is, there are way too many references noted here. The "roomier than it looks" gag isn't anything new, and severe rewrite on this is needed in order for this to be acceptable.

*'''Weak Decline''' Nice thinking, but I think it gets used to much to be an actual reference to anything. The gag is also used in Eek! The cat (Sharky's house), and SpongeBob Squarepants (Patrick's house).

==== Length Of Grabbo Arm ====
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
**'''Comment.''' Actually you CAN see how far the Grabbo Arm goes off screen. just watch the .swf file. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 14:52, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --24.21.86.243 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

**'''Second''' But get rid of the "Homestar says" part. Thats already noted in the transcript and adds un-needed weight to the fact. Just say "Its unclear how Homestar's clock can...and the rest"..[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' However, I think another important thing is the fact that if the clock does not have an AM/PM indicator, then Homestar would have had to set him clock after 10 AM (because, obviously, you can't set a clock like that any more than 12 hours in advance), further proving how...ahem... absent-minded he is.
*'''Decline''' I think we're trying to make a very complicated issue out of a very subtle joke - with no indicator, he COULDN'T have set it for AM or PM, in which case, his statement isn't false, it's just stupid... which isn't surprising coming from Homestar. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:43, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Grabbo Arm Sound ====
Strong Bad's Grabbo Arm makes the same noises as Homestar's tricked-out propeller cap in [[car]].

==== Blade man ====
The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].

Someone later came in and split them, putting User:IP's Decline in all of them (which is why all of the Fun Facts near this one have the same Decline comment, even where inappropriate). Apparently, racerx responded to all of them but didn't get his response split in quite the way he'd intended (he meant to decline two of the facts and accept the rest) - and I'm surprised I'm just now noticing. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 23:44, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Neutral''' OK OK. sheesh. 23rd, 24th, BIG WHOOP. just fix MY mistake and leave it at that. [[User:Xhycho|Xhycho]]
*'''Comment''' It has been pointed out that his clock has no AM/PM indicator, and according to my reasoning, he could not have set it more than 12 hours in advance. When I consider this dubious fun fact (It's odd considering...) and the point that I made on the fun fact about Homestar's clock, Homestar could have changed his calendar when he woke up on December 25th, and set his clock to 10 PM and gone back to sleep, because he simply did not realize that the 25th was significant, nor did he realize... anything... about time. Sorry for the long-winded comment, but it makes sense to me.
**'''Comment on the comment.''' That just occurred to me as well - What does Homestar do at the end of the toon when Strong Bad reminds him there's only 7 minutes left? He runs around like a maniac because he "forgot to buy presents"... just like he does at the beginning of the toon. It's even possible that he went through the same thing earlier in the day and we just don't see it. Given the "12 hours in advance" limitation, unless Strong Bad broke into his house and messed with his clock sometime during the day, Homestar would have had to be up no earlier than 10 AM on the 25th. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:22, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Revise, accept.''' I think that a fun fact should be listed that explains both speculations, for example: "There has been quite some speculation about Coach Z talking on his unplugged phone. Some say it is a reference to the Salad Fingers series, in which Salad Fingers uses a similar phone, and also due to the rusty steak knife, as Salad Fingers likes to touch rusty objects. Others say it is a reference to the film The Waterboy, as in one scene, Coach Klein(Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

====Disney "Mickey" Logo====
All of the Cheat Commandos have a marking in the shape of the Disney "Mickey" logo on their lower leg.

*'''Neutral.''' I noticed this recently. Hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere. I put it here directly just to save valuable mission time. I thought it was interesting, but let's let The Collective decide. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 12:39, 17 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Very Weak Decline''' Dunno what to make of this one, really... It certainly does seem to be true, but whether or not it constitutes a fun fact is kinda up in the air. Personally, I think coincidences like this (since it probably wasn't intentional) don't really make for good fun facts. Still, I'm pretty close to neutral on this. It might be more notable that all the cheat commandos have the same pattern of spots. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 21:41, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)

Reynold trying on the Justice Rocket Backpack may be a nod to ''Ghostbusters II''.

==== Pants ====
Homestar wears pants in the "Im The Best" Easter egg. This is possibly the first time Homestar wears pants.

'''VERDICT:''' This item was voted to be Accepted - however, the item was found to be factually inaccurate. A revision of the item, noting the exception, is currently on the [[montage]] page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 00:15, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man (Revised) ====
Biscuit Dough Hands Man is the initial suspect for Strong Bad's crimes in "[[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]]", created by [[Bubs]] drawing [[The King of Town|the King of Town's]] description of Strong Bad. So (when the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum says he will interview Biscuit Dough Hands Man in the next show), technically Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself" again.

==== "You ever see me in a car? No!" ====

Another subtle fun fact: At the end of the email, Strong Bad says, "You ever see me in a car? No!" Interestingly, he is seen in the Gremlin just a few emails later, in the Dangeresque 3 email.
*'''Revise, Move''' I think this belongs more in the Dangeresque 3 email fun facts. Also, get rid of the "Another subtle fun fact" bit. - [[User:Gydea|Gydea]]
*'''Decline.''' I'd actually put the Gremlin more into Bubs' possesion. He came up with it, so it just seems to work along those lines.
*'''Decline.''' As with the 'bigger wusses and lesser wimps' item up above, since when does Strong Bad always tell the truth? See [[stand-up]]. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:31, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' He could have also changed his mind about being seen in a car. Since this really doesn't contradict anything, it's not really worth noting. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:38, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. Previously someone else said "Strong Bad tends to lie" or something like that. I've thought of that fact before....also the Gremin might not be his. Allow me to reason:
<pre>
stunt double had Dangereque 2
dangeresque 3 had Dangereque 1, with which car.
car had the "You ever see me in a car? No!" quote.

Allow me to put these in order:

dangereque 3(1)
car(quote)
stunt double(2)

First in Dangereque 2, he wasn't in a car.
but Dangereque 1, he was seen in a car.
Dangereque 1 was obviously made before
Dangereque 2, before "car".

This is too confusing, but I hope it gives you a better understanding of it.

</pre>

--[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 13:55, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think what the above user is saying is that since Dangeresque 1 is a prequel to Dangeresque 2, and Dangeresque 2 was made before "car", that Strong Bad had been in a car before "car" was made. However, I think there is evidence in the "dangeresque 3" e-mail that Dangeresque 1 was actually made after Dangeresque 2 (within the H*R universe). Note the sign at the beginning that says "Not in 3-D" and the fact that it is called "Dangeresque 1", not just "Dangeresque." Strong Bad probably realized there was no Dangeresque 1 and subsequently made one, excusing its appearance after Dangeresque 2 by saying it was the limited edition director's cut.

=== [[lackey]]===

==== Unemployed? ====

In [[montage]], The Cheat is said to be unemployed. However, he has been a paid lackey since he'd known Strong Bad. (might fall under montage fun fact too).

*'''Decline''' Yeah, and "lackey" looks real good on a resume - Current Salary: pencil shavings... Seriously though, as it is with just about any kind of gag, it involves something being exaggerated. Strong Bad was asked to create a montage - so he made some up... emphasis on "made up". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:39, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Ian|Ian]] 18:52, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Just because it's a bad job with very poor pay doesn't mean its not a job. And, technicly, the entire catoon series is an exagerated gag.--[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 14:16, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' I disagree - even if the series is loaded with exaggerated gags, there are still accepted premises. Also, don't forget that the end credits photo montages usually give narration from some point after what takes place in the montage - The Cheat could become unemployed in some toon in the future, which would make this item moot. In any case, as I said above, SB was asked to "creat" a montage, so the result was something he completely made up - in that respect, whatever comes of it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be canon. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
* I know the current is going towards a lot of declines, but this is one I have to '''ACCEPT.''' I actually think this fact is a decent one. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 10:37, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment.''' I just realized the problem with this item: there isn't really a discrepancy here. Lackey is #96 while Montage is #117, so it's possible that The Cheat could have become unemployed (as a lackey) between then and...then. We're not told about anything regarding The Cheat's job status in the meantime, so this isn't really that notable. (And my comments above about the montage not being canon still stand.) --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
**Not necessarily. I am sure that if Strong Bad did lose his The Cheat, we would have heard about it. I'm sure The Cheat is more valueable to him than his Compy, but look at how much he freaked out when it was shotgun'd, If he lost The Cheat he would probably be depressed for a few weeks. Also, in extra plug, The Cheat still stands by, wating for his orders (to plug in the shoes) which would indicate he is still a valueable lackey to SB. And I realise that he "created a montage", and the results dont have to be completely true. However, there is nothing indicating that it is UNtrue either.--[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 12:36, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

=== [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]] ===

==== Relation to The Biggest Raddish ====

The 1936 Strong Bad hauling the Parsnips in the wheel barrow with Strong Man and The Sneak is reminiscent of Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad hauling the Biggest Raddish in [[The Reddest Radish]]. In fact, it has been speculated that this is the 1936 predecessor to The Reddest Raddish.

*'''Rewrite'''- Too long and confusing --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 15:48, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' ...though I almost voted Decline. The reference is a decent one. Perhaps something as simple as:
The 1936 Strong Bad, Strong Man, and The Sneak stealing the parsnips
in the wheelbarrow is reminiscent of the scene in The Reddest Radish
where their 21st-century counterparts steal Marzipan's radish.

==== Meh ====

"meh" is one of Strong Sad's emotions, and it also is frequently said by The Cheat.

====Strong Bad's Lament?====
History Lesson Part II is written in the exact style of Strong Bad, as in that the entry says Johnny Appleseed was a hippie, and calls Strong Sad "dumpus". This may be becasue Strong Sad gave out his password earlier, so Strong Bad may have hacked Strong Sad's account and written his own entry.

*'''Decline.''' If that was true, Strong Bad would more likely write "HJLWHOUISNASNKL?A STUPID!! GUY I AM A STUPID GUY!! HA HA HA!!!!GUIS kljIUS SJ". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:16, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)

** We ARE talking about the same Strong Bad, right...?
*You're using his art and musical tastes as an argument? Strong Bad's drawings of Trogdor during the theme is just as good as Saddy Dumpington, and Strong Sad would not call himself Dump*, let alone call anyone a hippie. And Strong Bad's character in no way reflects his music choices. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 16:15, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==Games==

===[[Stinkoman_20X6]]===

====Control Scheme====
The poor control scheme (a to jump, s to fire) may be another Mega Man reference, this time to the Mega Man Anniversary Collection which included Mega Man 1-8. On the Gamecube version, the controls for fire and jump were also messed up. (a to fire, b to jump) This eventually ended up with many frusterated gamers who intented to jump over a bottomless pit, but instead fired their plasma buster instead.
*'''Decline'''. This has got to be a joke. Poor control scheme? Tons of computer games use cursor keys as directions and a and s as action buttons. Also it is not uncommon to see the action buttons in the same order, with jump on the left and attack on the right. Additionally, many gamers choose a and s as their main buttons when setting up games and emulators and have no joypad. I'm sorry for whoever got burned by Mega Man, but this really isn't the place for it. -[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 11:52, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:MZilla|MZilla]] 23:18, 22 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline'''. The control scheme for Stinkoman 20X6. Whoever wrote this was probably mad at MMAC and just wanted to get it out of his system. I really don't see what the problem is. I have that game, and in a few minutes I was fully adapted to the weirdish control scheme, no problem. -[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:21, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline''' This is waaay too big of a stretch. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:26, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline w/Comment''' I've been playing MMAC on the Gamecube recently. The button layout is not that convoluted at all - once you get used to it, it's second-nature. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Ninja Gaiden Levels====
Level X.x is also a reference to the display of levels in Ninja Gaiden.
*'''Decline'''. The display of levels within Ninja Gaiden used a dash rather than a period and sub-level notation has been used in a number of different games. Had each level been called an "Act" as in Ninja Gaiden, you'd be onto something. --[[User:MZilla|MZilla]] 23:38, 22 Mar 2005 (CST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:24, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

*Uh, no it's not. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:27, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Stoves====
Planet K is in the Year 20X6, where gas stoves would have gone out of everyday life, yet some can be seen in stage 2.

*'''Decline'''To quote geoguy: What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline''' This is quite presumptuous - how do we know that gas stoves would have become osbolete? --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' maybe 20x6 is 2006... ever thought of that, smart guy? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:32, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====More Levels====
When you beat the game it will say "MORE LEVELS TO COME!".

*Far too obvious; anyone who beats the game can see that. Sure, it might be useful to anyone who can't beat the game, but it's hardly worth being listed as a "fun fact". --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Accept''' Since the game doesn't have a Transcript, this is useful information for the game's page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Oh, and Ogog, I'm assuming that's a Decline? You never actually voted. Just a heads-up. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:42, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline''' It is now noted in the Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:58, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Stone Fist====
When you beat the final boss, Stinkoman says he got a power-up and puts on the stone fist, showing an almost 100% chance for more levels!

*'''Decline'''Same as the "More Levels" fun fact listed above. Obvious and not noteworthy as a fun fact. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Accept''' Same as my comment above - since the game has no Transcript, it's useful as a fact. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Engrish====
The creators of Stinkoman 20X6 are poking fun at the 'all your base are belong to us' type language goofs in the stereotypical English port of a Japanese game.

*'''Decline'''There is absolutely no need to point this out. Yet another fun fact that's too obvious. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Weak Accept''' I do agree that is kind of obvious, but this does constitute a valid reference. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Brody====
Brody looks similar to Big Bird from Sesame Street.

*'''Decline'''Aside from Brody's legs and coloring, this isn't true. And the legs and coloring don't hold much water on their own, seeing as how: A. Birds' legs look something like that and are often illustrated that way. B. Every other chicken in Level 2 is colored yellow, and chickens are often illustrated to be yellow anyway. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:35, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Tampo====
The name Tampo may be a reference to a Japanese kind of fried food (Tempura). Or even Tempo, the speed of music.

*'''Decline'''This is very doubtful. Tempura is a big stretch, sure the manual says Tampo is as mean as he is delicious, but that hardly connects Tampo and tempura. And ''tempo''?? Tampo has nothing to do with tempo or even anything musical. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
** '''Comment''' Well, it IS a Mega Man parody, and many Mega Man characters are named for musical terms (Rock & Roll, Blues [in Japan], Bass, Treble, Forte [in Japan], Gospel [in Japan], Rush, Tango, Beat, Punk, Enka/Enker, Quint, Ballad(e), Duo... and I'm probably forgetting a few.) Of course, that doesn't automatically mean that Tampo was named for the term "tempo" - it probably wasn't - but it's not outside the realm of possibility. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***'''Decline''' The creators of Megaman had music in mind when they made the character. They said so. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 06:03, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Big stretch in both cases. And a '''Comment''' to [[User:Ogog|Ogog]], make sure that your comments are bulleted and that you show your vote as Accept or Decline. Also, make sure you remove the STUFF'd item when you put it on this page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

When [insert scene here], this is one of the few references to any of the characters having any parents.
* '''Decline every last case''' Not necessary; the parents of various characters are referred to multiple times (the Bros. Strong, Pom-Pom, and even Marzipan (even though the last one was later changed.)) Similarly, any instance of "This is the first time Strong Sad has smiled/laughed/burped/sighed/whatevered" is not only silly but, these days, wrong. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:44, 9 Feb 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline''' The phrase "one of the few" should automatically disqualify this from being accepted. Fun facts should tell something unique or noteworthy about the toon in question - if you have to rattle off a list of other toons where the same thing happened (except in extreme cases where a reference to a previous e-mail/toon is explicit), then it shouldn't be included. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:53, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

Homestar Runnar: /* Updated for the 90's */

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is very long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[suntan]] ===
Marzipan is carrying a toothpick parasol one would normally receive with a tropical drink, only hers seems to be much larger than normal.
Except that tropical drink parasols are modelled after real parasols . . . which are, you know, real . . .
*'''Decline.''' I guess some people have never seen actual people-sized paper parasols. Marzipan's is not a drink parasol, it's an Asian-style paper one! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:45, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' Man, what a dumblecake. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 19:58, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' The first part doesn't matter, and the second part doesn't make sense, or have anything to so with the first part! --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 20:05, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== [[local news]] ===
====Scalawag====
"Scalawag" may possibly be a reference to a Calvin and Hobbes strip in which Calvin and Hobbes sing the "Very Sorry Song" :
:(Calvin) "I'm sorry, so sorry I took your precious flaaaaag"
:(Hobbes) "Just don't do it again you scurvy scalawaaaaaag"
*'''Revise''' Maybe "The fact that SB ends the song with the word scalawag..." [[User:DeadGuyPerez|DeadGuyPerez]]
*'''Decline.''' Maybe it is a C & H reference. Maybe it's a reference to Southerners who supported Reconstruction. Maybe TBC just liked the sound of the word and thought it would be funny. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Decline.''' Geez, I already deleted this one! Scalawag is just a word. C&H didn't invent it. This is a huge stretch. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 13:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' I don't need to explain this, do I? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 14:31, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Calvin and Hobbes is a good comic strip, but as with the STUFF below, it is too obtuse to be called a reference to it. (Was this written by the same person as the one below?) --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 18:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Jay|The guy whose name is the letter after I and before K]]
*'''Declination Jackson''' So they just happen to have used the same word, and it's a reference? Not bloody likely. Besides, any fun fact with the words "may possibly be" should be burned instantly. With fire. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 20:01, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' The word ''scalawag'' has been around much longer than ''Calvin and Hobbes''. --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 14:51, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==== "Tough Guys"? ====
This is the only reference to homosexuality in the entire site, '''and thankfully Strong Bad handled it more maturely than most "tough guys" would have.'''
*'''Revise''': This is an interesting fact, but I think that the part in bold is a bit unecessary. After all, this is a knowledge base, not a place for rants. If you wanted to put something like this, I suggest doing it in the forum. Besides, this is easily infered from reading the transcript. I think that the part in bold needs to be deleted, and the rest added back into the Fun Facts. --[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]
**'''Comment.''' I assume this is an '''Accept'''. Please sign your vote! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Neutral.''' This is hardly a rant. I don't think the statement loses anything by removing the "offending" clause, however. I ''would'' change "this is the only reference" to "this is one of the few references". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
**'''Comment.''' But this ''is'' the only reference to homosexuality on the site. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 12:50, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment.''' It's ''currently'' the only reference on the site. For all we know, the entire cast will be outed tomorrow and it will become the ''first'' reference among many. The guidelines for this section says that facts that become easily dated are bad facts. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
**'''Comment.''' In fact, I just convinced myself that it should say "This is the first reference" -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Comment:'''I'm just saying that it seems like a rant to me, and it's rather unecessary (The part in bold, that is). --[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]
**'''Comment.''' A rant against who? Tough Guys? The comment says that SB handles the situation "maturely". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*<strike>'''Accept.''' I think it's fine the way it is.</strike> '''Decline.''' Changed my mind, the point that it's the only reference to homosexuality on H*R is debatable and may possibly change, so the fact doesn't have much of a point to it. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 13:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' The ONLY reference? What about in the new [[HomestarTalker|Homestar Talker]]? "Pom-Pom and Strong Bad Are Totally Going Out!" We know Strong Bad is a guy, and Pom-Pom is called '''"he"''' many times throughout the site. [[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]
**'''Response''' Maybe "going out" just means they're going someplace together, like to a movie or something. It's possible for guys to do stuff together without it being "gay." [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 20:03, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' Wow... so many comments, but very few people willing to actually vote. This item is trying to point out something that is intended as a joke, and as such, it shouldn't need to be explained or have undue attention drawn to it. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:06, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Comment''' Heh-heh. Sorry about that remark. [[User:Fizz123|Fizz123]]

===[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]]===
====Hom Sar Ref====
On the third page, the line "GEE-AMES!" is actually a reference to the Homsar Main Page, when the mouse is moved over the "Games" bubble. --[[User:SgtKeeling|SgtKeeling]]

*'''Decline''' It doesn't sound to me like he pronounces it "gee-ames". [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' It is probably unintended by the creators. [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]]
*'''Calvin Decline''' Somehow this reminds me of the Simpsons: "Were you saying 'boo,' or 'boo-urns?'" [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 09:55, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Strong Decline.''' Homsar says "James," not "Gee-ames." [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:55, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' No offence, ISlayedTheKerrek, but the Homsar Main Page transcript is just one person's interpretation of what he says. When I listen to it, it could be James, but it could also be Gee-ames, too. -BlueNose
** It isn't GEE-AMES, and anyone who scrolls over the word "games" in the Homsar page will clearly hear him say James. If you hear Gee-Ames, I seriously suggest you get your ears checked. Oh, and sign your vote properly. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 09:45, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*** Well, actually, it's a bit more ambiguous if you hover over "Games" quickly and pull the cursor away before the weight falls. But it's even ''further'' from GEE-AMES that way, so '''Decline'''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' Homsar says no such thing. [[User:mk5dude|mk5dude]] 4 Apr 2005
**'''Second.''' Sewiously, this is wediculous. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 17:57, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*Actually, it's not. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:49, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' To re-iterate: Homsar says "James," not "Gee-ames." -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Decline''' Sounds more like "James!" to me. --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 14:55, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Lil John====
On the third page, the line "GEE-AMES!" may be a reference to Lil John from Lil John and the East Side Boyz.

*'''Rewrite''' Uh huh... so HOW and WHY is it a reference to Lil John? If you can prove this, then it can be accepted. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 11:01, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Response''' I think he means how Lil' Jon says stuff like "YEE-AAAH!" [[User:The Jolly Dumple|The Jolly Dumple]] 4:17 PM, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
**'''Response''' Well, then, the person who wrote this fun fact should have said that. Keep in mind, however, that almost every rapper in existence says stuff like that. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:42, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''', unless Jolly Dumple is right. If he is, then '''Decline'''. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 15:56, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
**'''Second''' Seriously, dump any fact that relies on phrases like "might be". Especially if its about TBC referring to something obscure. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***'''Third.''' I'm agreeing with you on this one - these "might be" references are way too numerous, and in most cases, they're opinions. Hell, even the phrase "might be" is subjective to begin with. I propose an automatic deletion to any Fun Fact that uses this phrase. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 17:56, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)

*****'''Comment.''' <strike>I have this matter in a poll over on the forums - please go vote so we can reach a consensus on what to do with these kinds of items.</strike> Never mind - some admin locked it, even though the other current poll doesn't deal with the issue at hand. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]

====Trial Game origin====

The trial game is based upon the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] - the trial game's [http://www.homestarrunner.com/SevenSecondTrialGame.swf Flash file] contains graphics and sounds used on the Games menu but not in the trial game.

*'''Decline.''' It's a reference to Space Invaders. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 16:03, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
** Ooops, yeah, I was rather vague there, wasn't I? I didn't mean the style of game, I meant the actual nuts and bolts of the thing. The 'engine', as it were. I know such recycling would be relevant if it caused a bug or something else really obvious, like the VCR in SBEmail114 "The Facts" did, but this is harmless, so I wanted a judgement on it. [[User:The Archon|The Archon]] 18:13, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' It actually uses code from the games menu '''and''' Armless Invaders. But who expects them to code a new game just for an April Fools gag? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second.''' While I disagree that they wouldn't code a new game just for an April Fools' gag, I do agree that this fact is unnecessary and somewhat inaccurate. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 17:59, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====False Advertising====

The second page claims "ACCESS TO ALL 230+ STRONG BAD EMAILS!" when there were only 127 emails at the time it was posted. This parodies how subscription sites often flagrantly misrepresent their content.

*'''INFINITELY STRONG ACCEPT-erson!!!!!!!!!''' Why in the world was this stuffed???????????--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 16:25, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
** '''Decline''' Because the fact is redundant? Theres already a fact explaining that the toon is a joke on pay sites. Theres also another fact pointing out that the material in this toon doesn't actually appear anywhere else on the site. ''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Weak Accept.''' It's accurate and not obvious from the page itself. I won't miss it if it gets voted down though. [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
**'''Second''' --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:48, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' I think this was ment to be an ironic insider joke. Irony does not necessarily make a "fun" fact, but maybe it can be rewritten as an inside reference. [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]]
*'''Accept''' Fairly obvious, but a bit of a fun fact nonetheless.[[User:GreatG|GreatG]]
*'''Strong Accept.''' This goes under the file of "not everything needs to be STUFF'd! Let's leave it to the fun facts that deserve it, guys. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 21:48, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' It's slightly obvious now, but the information about how many emails there actually WAS at the time will make this Fun Fact more interesting as time goes on. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 05:04, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Accept''' Fine by me. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]
*'''ANTI-Accept''' Are all of you people serious?? If this goes up, it ought to be combined with the "this is a parody of websites becoming paysites" fact. It certainly shouldn't stand alone IMHO. It's redundant because the fact that the whole thing is based on pay sites is ALREADY STATED. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:10, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Like I said, if we accept this then we should list the other inaccuracies in the toon. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Uh, no we don't. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 21:27, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**Uh, yes we do. There isn't anything different or special about this fact. Heck, even when they do make it to 230 e-mails it won't matter because when they reach 231 it becomes wrong again. People can get the joke without having a fun fact for it. If we accept this then we might as well list all the others. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Uh, no we don't, because not all the rest of them really deserve to be listed. This one does. And now, I upgrade my vote to '''Infinite Accept,''' with a small revision to include the e-mail total at the time. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 09:58, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***Donny's right, you know. Are we going to write separate facts involving the misrepresentation of "actual screenshots" or "answering machines out the wazoo"? I think the fact that currently resides on the Pay Plus page is just fine (it only mentions misrepresentation, rather than giving any and all examples), but I'd still rather combine it with the above fact. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:15, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Special Appearance====
Mr. Shmallow can just barely be seen in the fourth screen of the 'toon.
* '''Da Cline''' Then add him to the list of cast members. This isn't a fun fact. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:45, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

====Whats Her Face's lack of appearance====

For whatever reason, Whats her face was shown on the 4th page, but not at all in the "trial" TGS cartoon.

* '''Decline''' Noted in the transcript, and it's hardly an interesting remark regardless of such. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 07:57, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
* '''Accept''' It's certainly worth noting, and I didn't notice it the first time around. Keep it. [[User:little-man|little-man]] 14:09, 3 Apr 2005 (EST)
*'''Decline.''' Since there IS no reason for her absence, there's no reason to mention it. It's not necessary. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 18:01, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' And who knows how far into the preview the clip was? She may have already been killed off. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Basement-to-Computer Room Ratio====

According to the "Trap Door" clip, the computer room and the basement are two different floors, even though Strong Bad is never seen going up stairs when he goes from the couch to the computer room in cartoons like [[morning routine]].

* '''Decline'''. Umm... There are several other references to this. 1. [[Arcade Game]]: "in da basement -sb", why would Strong Bad put this if they were on the same level? 2. [[strongbad_email.exe]] (All discs): The camera transition to the Bonus Stuff menu infers that the basement is downstairs. And... that's all I can think of. --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]], 00:16, 3 Apr 2005 (BST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:35, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
* '''Decline''' In [[morning routine]] they might have just skipped the part where Strong Bad goes up the stairs for the sake of saving time. [[User:Ramrod|Ramrod]] 18:14, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' Hear here - showing Strong Bad go up and down stairs would take a whole new set of animation. Why bother? Traversing stairs isn't integral to the toon. Also see Venusy's comment above regarding "Arcade Game". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 18:03, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*I don't have the Email DVD, so I wouldn't know. And I just thought we should point out that this is the first time we see this. I've seen Fun Facts state that it was the first instance you see something when it is obvious and probably shouldn't be pointed out. And as for the note in [[Arcade Game]], characters point out things that you can see obviously all the time, and maybe the computer room and the basement were two different rooms in the whole basement. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 10:36, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**But why would Strong Bad leave a note saying they were in the basement IN the basement? '''Decline''' --[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*If you think [[Arcade Game]] is the first sighting of the difference between the computer room and the basement, then why don't you just list that under Fun Facts on ''it''? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 20:42, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment.''' Because the appearance in Arcade Game is self-explanatory. When someone says they're "in da basement," it's safe to assume you're going to have to go down stairs in order to get to where that person is. There's no reason to state this in that e-mail, and as such, there really is no reason for it to be stated in this one. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]

====Tall homestar?====
In that clip on the second page, Strong Bad says the trap is a 2-foot trap. When homestar falls, about 3/4 of his body is still above the floor. He must be about 8-9 feet!

*'''Infinite Decline.''' Unimportant. And besides, how do YOU know that 3/4 of Homestar's body is there? [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:23, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Decline''' It didn't look that way to me; in any case, made-up measurements are bleh. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 14:33, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' Homestar's two feet fell into the trap.--[[User:208.0.20.2|208.0.20.2]] 14:44, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Updated for the 90's====
Teen Girl Squad couldn't have been updated for the nineties, the SB E-mail it premiered in first showed in 2002.

**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 05 Apr 2005
*'''Comment''' But hey, did you know there were only 127 Strong Bad E-mails up when this toon was made? I think TBC know how many SBemails they've made. -- [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Mr. Shmallow (toon)]]===
====Sweating====
Mr. Shmallow sweating is a reference to old television sets where the lights required to light up the set often made the set uncomfortably hot.

*'''Weak Decline.''' I have to admit this one has had me stumped for a long time. It's the best explanation I've seen yet, but I'm not sure it's the right one. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 31 Mar 2005
*<strike>'''Stronger Decline.'''</strike> [EDIT:] '''Full Decline.''' Personally, I too have always wondered why he's sweating... and, who knows, maybe it ''is'' the lights—but I doubt it. There's nothing in the 'toon to even suggest the above as being more than mere speculation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:02, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline''' -- It's true that the lights of early television sets made the actors sweat a great deal. However, Mr. Shmallow is not from the 40's-50's era of television, he's from the 30's (allegedly; I'm not convinced that the Brothers Chaps can tell the difference...). [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 16:07, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Accept''' Hey, it could be true. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 16:22, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**But it could ''more easily'' be false. I don't think the minimum burden of proof has been met to justify including it. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Watch any of the old-timey shows and you'll see how much everyone is sweating. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw Mr. Shmallow sweat.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 21:20, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**The problem is that (1) they're on film, not TV, (2) nothing in the shot where he's sweating makes it look like he's under any lights, bright or otherwise, and (3) it's the only instance I can recall that a 1936-era character has sweated like this. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. 1) Being on film wouldn't change a whole lot necessarily, considering it's a low-budget-ish commercial, so, given that and the time era, it WOULD have the hot lights no matter what. 2) Would YOU want the lights visible when you're shooting? Hmm? 3) There's a first time for everything. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 22:37, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Stronger-est? Decline.''' Like I said below: If you can't prove it, don't post it. He could be sweating for any number of reasons. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''ULTRA SUPER DECLINE''' He isn't sweating. The moon just ate him so now he's dripping with spit from its "mouth thingy".
**But his glasses were fogging up...not to say that's from sweat, necessarily...

===[[long pants]]===
====Overlapped voice====
This is one of the few times Strong Bad has used his ability to overlap his own voice. This ability is first introduced in techno.

*'''Decline''' Uninteresting, and disqualified due to the phrase "one of the few". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:16, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

*'''"DECLINE!"''' For the record, they're FUN facts. --[[User:Aussie Evil|The Great Aussie Evil]] 08:21, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Homestar's Shoes, part 2====
They might not be blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet but actual shoes, according to [[New Boots]] anyway. He also refers to them as shoes in [[Everybody Knows It]], where he says, "So, I guess it's back to putting dog food in my shoes, huh?"

*'''Decline''' Wasn't this bit about Homestar's shoes already tackled and Declined? Also STUFF'd due to conversational style. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Shorter E-mail====
This email is much shorter than most recent emails, being at least half a minute shy of its predecessor.

*'''Decline''' This is unnecessary, due to the running time being evident at the top of each e-mail page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
*'''Decline''' Half a minute isn't much, and even if it was, who cares? [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 15:18, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' And I'm the one who said this. -Walking Armless
*'''Modify and Accept''' I think it could have been because they also released the April Fools gag on the same week, so if you add that information it might be kinda interesting... ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 05:07, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**No its still boring. '''decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

====Edga Jr. removes text?====
Strong Bad opens up [[Edga Jr.]] and when it goes away, all the text written before it is gone.

*'''Weak Decline''' Since Strong Bad actually calls up the text in question bringing back his e-mail program with no problems, I really don't see this as being a Goof (I moved it here from Goofs). --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' Just watched it and the text from the e-mail comes RIGHT back after the splash screen. Upgrading my vote to '''Severe Decline.''' --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:46, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.'''The email comes back, but Strong Bad's response disappears. -LuigiHann
*'''Accept.''' I don't think Eggman understands what this fact is saying. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:48, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Homestar Over Correction Fluid====
When Homestar appears on the Lappy's screen, he isn't covered by the correction fluid, but rather, he shows up on top of it.

*'''Weak Accept, but Move''' Like the above item, this doesn't seem so much as a Goof as a Remark - given that Homestar is acting crazy when this happens, certainly odd things would happen that aren't necessarily Goofs on the toon's creators' part. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Second.''' --[[User:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]] 20:06, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline''' My guess is that he didn't go inside the Lappy screen, but in front of it.--[[User:Bonk|Bonk]] 17:14, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

====Klowning Arkound====
The fact that "Kertified Klown Kare" has every word starting with K might be a reference to Krusty the Clown, from The Simpsons, who tends to use that letter a lot and is, obviously, a clown.

*'''Severe Decline!''' Man, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth from reading it. It's just what clowns do! -[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 14:18, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second''' I'm not saying anything here, but am I the only one who noticed that "Kertified Klown Kare" is basically K.K.K.? --[[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 18:33, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*There was actually a "K.K.K" joke like that on the Simpsons. Still doesn't make this a reference to it. '''Decline'''. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*"decline" However, on the simpsons there was the Krusty Komedy Klassic.
*'''Decline''' Lots of things use Ks instead of Cs. (Though I do love the K in place of the ''soft'' C here, that's irrelevant to the fact.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Self-Made Man====
Homestar saying "I'm a long-pants man, long pants long pants" is a possible reference to [[Bubs]]' [[Character Videos|Character page]] where he says "I'm a self-made man, I am I am".

*'''Decline''' Just watched Bubs' Character Page, and the line he says sounds nothing like what Homestar says in [[long pants]]. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
* I gotta '''Accept''' this, because my keen ears detect some sort of similarity. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 14:35, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' What would be the point in referring to Bubs' video anyway? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' It really doesn't seem like a "reference" to me. More like a "coincidence." →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 21:46, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' It does sound similar. It also sound like a reference the Bros Chaps would make. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:28, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
** '''Second''' [[User:Ramrod|Ramrod]] 18:10, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Reaching. Lower-hanging fruit would be to compare it to HR's own character page where he says "butt dance butt dance", and it still wouldn't be a fun fact for me. [[User:sninky-chan|sninky-chan]] 18:41, 4 Apr 2005 (CET)
*'''Decline''' Only vaguely similar, not close enough for moi. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====2nd Homestar Crying====
This is the second time Homestar cried in an email. The first was [[crying]].

*'''Decline''' First times can be interesting. Second times, not so much. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:48, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' And how... --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 07:50, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' Unless someone can figure out a way to graph it! --[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 28 Mar 2005
*'''Decline''' And isn't there another "fun" fact below that was about how [[crying]] showcased the second time a character cried? --[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''"Second."''' [[User:69.3.234.29|69.3.234.29]]([[User:Aussie Evil|The Great Aussie Evil]] 22:59, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)) 22:57, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' Yes there is, Donny. And I'm gonna say what someone said in their vote for the crying fun fact. The word "second" is an immediate disqualification for this being a viable item.
*** An immediate disqualification is also in order for those who don't sign their votes. and '''Delete,''' by the way. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 19:58, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This is so uninteresting. The point of funfacts isn't a place to count how many times who does what. You wouldn't see a fun fact saying that "This is the eighth time Strong Bad blames the Cheat for something in an e-mail" (made number up). I'm declining it basically on the grounds that nobody really cares. -- [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 9:51 AM 2 April 2005

====Red Screen====
When Homestar finishes going nuts, the screen turns red, like in [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*'''Decline.''' Big deal. It's not even the same kind of red. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:17, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:29, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' I actually thought of this when first saw this e-mail. [[User:Ramrod|Ramrod]] 18:06, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Useless and already in transcript. And, BTW, I found a variant of this in Goofs (people need to learn what a "Goof" is!) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Edga Jr., Tompkins, and Ron Cumberdale...long lost triplets?====

Edga Jr. bears a striking resemblance to Tompkins and Ron Cumberdale, one of the things the The Three Keepers of Trogdor turn you into if you get one of their questions wrong.

*'''Decline.''' At least in Tompkins' case. I don't think Edga Jr. looks like Tompkins at all. I don't know about Ron Cumberdale...but I doubt it too. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 12:03, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
* Eh, they all look like generic nerds if anything. '''Decline'''. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' I saw this one earlier and almost STUFF'd it myself. People are REALLY stretching to make references here, aren't they? --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Although [[Edga Jr.]] does looks like a mix between [[Tompkins]] and [[Ron Cumberdale]], this is a stretch. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 11:18, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Hmm... it's kinda tough to say Cumberdale looks like anyone, seeing as how he's composed of roughly eight pixels. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 15:13, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
Could someone post a picture of the three of them side by side?

Done and done. Now judge for yourself. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:36, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

[[Image:edgajr.png]][[Image:tompkinteen.png]][[Image:roncumberdale.PNG]]

*'''Weak Accept''' Tompkin's face and acne + Ron Cumberdale's hair + Obscure references = Edga Jr. --Yaanu, 9:21 CST, 2 April 2005
* I'm upgrading my vote to '''Strong Decline.''' Edga Jr. has freckles, not pimples, and you can't even really tell from there that Ron Cumberdale has the same hair. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 11:48, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
* '''Declinariffic''' I'm not seeing it. At all. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:53, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Clanky?====
"Clanky" is a reference to the popular video game [[Wikipedia:Ratchet & Clank|Ratchet & Clank]].

*'''Revise.''' Replace "is" with "could be". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 16:08, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''"Second."''' [[User:Aussie Evil|The Great Aussie Evil]] 23:00, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' "Clanky" was just said as a mispronunciation of Clancy. It's not like Ratchet and Clank coined the word Clank anyway.
**'''Second''' But sign your vote. And I think that any fun fact that cannot be confirmed (could be, might be, its possible that) should be removed or STUFF'D till it can be confirmed. Maybe then kids wouldn't be so eager to try and make a connection to their favorite game/show/movie what have you. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***'''Decline Second'd, Suggestion Weak Accept'd''' I agree that there are way too many of these types of "possible references" being made, but STUFFing every single one would be REALLY time-consuming and would bloat this page way more than it already is. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
***Well, I don't mean that every un-confirmed fact should get stuffed. But crap like this one where there is clearly no connection could and should be deleted without any fuss or voting. If they author of the fact cares that much they can stuff the fact themselves and post a defense.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second''' (the Decline, that is) -- [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 01:29, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 01 Apr 2005
*'''Decline''' Strong Bad always pronounces names and places wrong, I'm positive it has nothing to do with that game. --[[User:Minteh|Minteh]] 12:02, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' And The Cheat is a reference to Cheato the Spellbook in Banjo-Kazooie! And the King of Town is a reference to King Daphnes in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker! Or not, since there are about -1 pieces of evidence that there's any intentional correlation at all. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Sam I Am====
Homestar saying "I have long pants, I wear long pants..." is a reference to Dr Seuss's childeren's book "Green Eggs and Ham"
*''' Severe Decline and Baleted-erson''' No it's not. If the phrase was "I have long pants, Long pants I have" where the subject and the object are reversed, than it would be a refrence. But it is not.--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 19:43, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Severe Decline''' 1000% no. Where did you get this idea from? The fact that both have verbs in it? Oh! "Am" and "have" are both verbs with the letter "a!" That HAS to be a reference... Come on, guys... This doesn't even belong on STUFF :-( →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 21:49, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Bedroom Window====
Homestar's bedroom window was right next to his bed in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], but in the Easter Egg, you can't see the window anywhere, even though it should be in the shot. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 13:52, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
*Revise = Very Yes. Run-on sentences hurt my brain. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 08:42, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
**It wasn't a run-on, but I still Decline. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 11:08, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
**It totally was. It should have been broken into two sentences; somewhere between "Presents" and "but".
**'''Revise, accept''' It is a run-on scentence. Try:
Homestar's bedroom window was right next to his bed in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. However, in the Easter Egg, you can't see the window anywhere even though it should be in the shot.
*'''Decline''' He could just be laying at the other end of the bed, thus the room would be flipped. Gah, most of the "goofs" posted aren't even genuine and this is no exception. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' This is not fun! Also, a run-on sentence needs to lack a conjunction or semicolon to be a run-on sentence, ***LACK*** an example would be this one I'm typing now. --[[User:sninky-chan|sninky-chan]] 18:44, 4 Apr 2005 (CET)
**Totally untrue. Run-on sentences can have conjunctions; haven't you ever seen someone overuse the word "and?" Example: I went to the store and I bought some candy and then I went home and then I watched TV. There are conjunctions there, but it's still run-on. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:34, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***The sentance is fine, it just uses commas in the wrong place. Still doesn't make this a good fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Main Page 6]]===
====Outta Sync?====
Strong Bad's movements are not in sync. He says "Holy Crap!" way too early.

*'''Decline''' If the movements of Strong Bad's mouth are out of sync, why dontcha look at the .swf version and turn down the quality? But, why should it matter? --[[User:the spludge|the spludge]] 20:19, 26 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline''' Although it's the words and not the mouth, anyone going to the site will notice this.
*'''Revise and Accept.''' It isn't that his mouth is out of sync with the animation—rather, the words weren't animated at all. The only reason his mouth moves is due to the surprise of his falling. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:19, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The problem is that he says "Holy Crap!" just before falling, which completely takes away the comedic timing of an otherwise hilarious gag.
**'''Second''' Did it use to work? Because I think it was fine a long time ago, but not anymore. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:50, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' It DOES screw with the timing of the joke. Mouth movements aren't the issue here. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

===[[crazy cartoon]]===
====Sealab 2021====
"I'm gonna get you, Eh! Steve!" is a possible reference to an episode of the cartoon "Sealab 2021" called "Waking Quinn," in which a shark yells "I'm gonna get you Stinky Pete!" about seven minutes into the episode.

*'''Weak Decline''' At first, I wanted to be sure that the episode in question aired before [[crazy cartoon]], but as it turns out, the quote isn't precise ("I'll get you, Eh! Steve!" is the actual phrase). --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 16:06, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**I did check TVTome.com, and the episode in question DID air before "crazy cartoon". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*'''Major Decline''' It's likely that the Bros. Chaps watch Sealab, since they did a song for it. However, this reference is a huge stretch. "I'll get you (whoever) if it's the last thing I do!" is a common cliché phrase for villains. Sealab and this email were referencing the same general phenomenon. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 16:40, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' -- [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 09:22, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second''' Listen, people, I don't know if you've figured this out yet, but just because you hear something in a movie then on something else doesn't automatically mean it's a reference, unless the movie says something that hasn't been said before. Like, if Strong Bad says "a little bit of the old ultraviolence", That would be a reference to A Clockwork Orange since that was basically the first popular movie to say that, but what if he said a phrase that has been used for decades and just happened to be in some popular movie, that doesn't make it a reference, okay? [[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 18:37, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

===[[Old Characters Page]]===
====The H word====
Bubs' profile is one of the few instances that the word "hell" is used on the site, other instances being in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]] (Easter egg) and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]].
*'''Decline.''' Did you know that [[comic]] is one of the few instances that the word "<s>ass</s>" is used on the site, with the other instance being [[Hairstyle Runner]]? Well don't post a fact about it. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:12, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Agree''' I never noticed that before.
*'''Comment and a decline''' The use of "hell" in the toons is more on the slang side than actual cursing. In the case of Parsnips its just referring to the fiery place of torment. So the use of "hell" isn't really worth noting. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Declardon me''' Oww, my freakin' ears! How could the Brothers Chaps stoop to such apalling vulgarity?! [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 08:47, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'd''' "one of the few"? tsk, tsk. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:36, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' I doubt he was "offended" by the use of the word hell or anything like that, he was just noting a useless fact. Whatever the case, I decline.

===[[techno]]===
Strong Bad might have said "Oh very clever" after reading the name Silent J because it could be a reference to Jay and Silent Bob, a pair of recurring characters from [[Wikipedia:Kevin Smith|Kevin Smith's]] movies. It also may be clever because it's referring to the concept of a silent letter (for example, one would say "the word 'jalapeno' has a silent J"), and making reference to Silent Bob at the same time.

*'''Decline.''' I think the Silent Bob connection is a real stretch. The silent letter connection is much more reasonable. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 25 Mar 2005
*'''Revise.''' Funny, I think it's the other way around. It never occurred to me that "Silent J" would be anything but a play on "Jay and Silent Bob," but maybe that's my pop-culture-saturated brain. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 10:01, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' The latter part doesn't work but the Silent Bob connection does. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:42, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' My brain is pretty saturated with pop-culture, too! However, it's from a time when Disco ruled and dinosaurs walked the earth! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 25 Mar 2005
**'''Second''' Jalepeño is the stretch; Silent Bob is the obviously correct one. And I haven't even watched J&SB! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:52, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' I had thought he meant the fact that "Silent J" would mean he shouldn't actually say anything at all, so he was sort of duped, and he was mockingly calling him clever. I don't know. [[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 22:48, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
** Ummm...no.Thats more of a stretch than the "jalepeno" part of the fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
** I think this is what is meant as well. After reading an e-mail, Strong Bad almost always starts his response with "Well, [insert name]", or "......, eh [insert name]?" Since the writer is calling himself Silent J, Strong Bad is at a loss to use his name in his reply.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 21:38, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' FWIW, "jalapeño" does not in fact have a silent J. The j is pronounced like an h, but it's certainly not silent. - [[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 09:25, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise''' - but the only revision this needs is to remove the uncertainty, because it's clearly a reference to Jay and Silent Bob.

===[[Experimental Film]]===
====Calvin and the Cotton Gin====
In a Calvin and Hobbes strip, Calvin sometimes would use "The Cotton Gin" as an answer to problems he did not know, even on math tests.
*'''Weak Decline''' Since the answer was right on that test (and never right on Calvin's tests) I don't think this is the case. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
**'''Comment''' We never actually see the questions to the test (except the first, which is "Are you all going to be in my experimental film?"), so we don't know if the answer is right. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 09:47, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
*** '''Comment on comment''' Actually, we know the answer was wrong, because the test-taker got an A+ after selecting a ''different'' answer (specifically, "Yeah!") --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:56, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*** '''Comment on my own comment''' Well, okay, actually, I was assuming that it was multiple-choice and that the test-taker was selecting the first of four possible answers (notice the hilight). I suppose four questions being on a different page never really occurred to me before now. Oh, well, whatever. The test-taker got an A+. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:01, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**** '''Will the commentary never cease?''' You are right! I personally don't think it has much to do with whether it's a reference or not, though. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 10:57, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*****'''Hehe, cease. Tis a funny word.''' *watches as people give me wierd looks*... Well, its true. Cease is a funny word. Neway, I '''Decline'''.--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 10:57, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Seems a bit of a stretch. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:45, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Accept.''' This reference seems fine to me. Calvin did this a lot and I think of it when seeing "cotton gin" on a test. It might be a bit stretchy though. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 15:49, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second'''
*'''Decline.''' Theres an essay by Mike Nelson (of '''Mystery Science Theater 3000''' fame) about how Eli Whitney and the cotten gin were all kids used to learn about in school. So the cotten gin answer isn't really an original idea (or at least not one to put a specific reference on). [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Weak Decline''' I read and own many Calvin and Hobbes comic collections. In my reading, I noticed that while Calvin did use The Cotton Gin as answers, he mostly just puts down random answers to questions he didn't know the correct answer to. Other answers include "Trostsky, Lexington, 1824", and so on. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 17:27, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decwine''' This is true, but not relevant. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 08:50, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Bubs...greedy?====
When Strong Bad smashes his face into the wall, Bubs puts up a sign saying that face smachings are $5. When Pom Pom beats the everloving crap out of Strong Bad, Bubs puts up a sign saying that severe beatings are $10. Could Bubs be greedy?

====Monty Python and the Holy Subtitles====
The pseudo-Swedish subtitles are very (too?) similar to the opening credits of Monty Python's Holy Grail.
*'''Decline''' There is a very key difference between them. In Monty Python, the subtitles are meant to look like they're in a foreign language when they're not. In little questions, they are meant to look English, translating pseudo-English being spoken to a Swede. That's not close enough for me. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:17, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Comment''' Sickly Sam was never in [[Kick the Can]]. Oh, and Sickly Sam did "die" in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] (easter egg). He also fell of the I-beam in [[Ballad of The Sneak]] (if that counts). --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:39, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

** Ummm, my basis for declining this fact was that it could be easily become false. Removing "so far" from it doesn't change that. Also, the fact relies on Sickly Sam being in every old timey cartoon for it to work. He isn't in kick the can so he doesn't die there (even if it is by a technicallity). The fun fact just doesn't work. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

It is quite possible that Strong Bad's reference to "those weird little kids" could be refering to the Scooby-Doo cartoon series.

**'''Responding to the previous two''' He says in the same sentence that he's solving a Celebrity ''Murder Mystery'' which is what the Scooby gang did all the time. I don't much care for that series myself, but it's probably true. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
*'''Accept/Rephrase''' There were many other cartoons like that too, it may not be that particular one, but it's most likely a reference to that one since it's the most well known. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
*'''Decline.''' I don't think Scooby actually ever dealt with a murder, let alone a celebrity murder. But even if he did there isn't anything in the e-mail to suggest a connection to Scooby. Strong Bad doesn't even mention a cartoon in the sub scene. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

====Strong Bad is an Old Man====
Strong Bad says that he appeared as a guest in the Castlefunnies comic strip, which he later notes was cancelled prior to the "dry pencil scare of '47". Since the email clearly takes place in 2004 (as noted at the end), this makes Strong Bad at least 57 years old.
*'''Accept''' [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 15:49, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' or even better '''Move'''. Excellent observation, but I think it would serve better on Strong Bad's and Homestar Runner's character biographies, stating that they must both have been born prior to 1947 according to this email. --[[User:62.252.224.13|62.252.224.13]] 16:19, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' I put up this fact, and I think it's useful and "fun" as an anecdote, but it probably shouldn't be taken as a hard fact within the Homestar universe. Just to note a few contradictions that would arise if Strong Bad were in fact this old: (1) We probably wouldn't be able to have a VHS tape of Little Strong Sad performing stand-up comedy at school, (2) If the King of Town was already King in 1947, then The Cheat must have "mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox" before 1947, because the king was still a prince when said jambox-mashing occurred in sbemail 100, (3) A fiftysomething man goes trick-or-treating, and his mom helped him with his costume (Homestarloween Party)? Seems a bit strange. But anyway, I think it's worth pointing out the age factor.
*'''Comment''' I'm not too sure, I mean, the email is really just looking at it as though the character of Strong Bad was used back then(since, as just a character, the age wouldn't matter. The idea for Strong Bad's character could've been around then, but then later used in modern day times, like, for example, Popeye or Mickey Mouse, for whom age isn't an important factor.), but it's presented through Strong Bad's point of view, thus implying that he would have aged since then. Sure, one could note that "Strong Bad has been around for 58 years", but saying that Strong Bad himself is over 58 years old doesn't work for me. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' I can't see any proof that the Castlefunnies actually "happed". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 16:47, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Accept and rephrase''' It is interesting, but maybe it should be rephrased into the passive, saying "If it is true, Strong Bad would be 57 years old." That, or we've caught Strong Bad making things up, and there never was a Castle Funnies.[[User:Aaronite|Aaronite]] 6:32, 17 Mar 2005 (PST)

*'''Comment''' Chew on this: There's a 1936 version of Strong Bad out there, so it could be an "older" version of Strong Bad in the Castlefunnies, and not actually the present-day one. As it is, the other Castlefunnies characters look different from their present-day counterparts, and the Poopsmith actually had a different name.
*'''Decline.''' First of all, the castlefunnies was not syndicated in 1947. The strip is in color, and it's only one line long, not half a page! The poopsmith talking in commas is a clear reference to woodstock in the Peanuts strip, who didn't even exist until the late 1960s. And the font used for the title "The Castlefunnies" looks much too modern. When Strongbad talks about the fact that the dry pencil scare of '47 only lasted three days, what he's saying (assuming he's not just making up the pencil scare just to be sarcastic) is that there was NO pencil scare at the time that they started producing the castlefunny pencil moistener (whenever that happened to be--looking at the comic strip style, I'd guess in the 60s at the earliest, though possibly as recent as modern day). --[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 08:52, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Revise and Accept.''' The second half is unnecessary - just say it's the same guitar that appears in Puppet Time. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 12:50, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' Heh, just realized that if this fact is accepted, it'll need a little more in it:
The guitar Space Gary tosses is the same guitar shown in Puppet Time.

*'''Decline''' Facts that are about re-used items are usually rejected outright. Puppet time or live action items shouldn't be excempted from this. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Comment.''' I disagree about live-action items. Given that there aren't that many live-action shorts, I think it's quite notable... in this particular instance. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
***What, they're going to go out and get a new guitar everytime they need one? I stand by my vote, its no different than the other times they re-use stuff. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
****Again, I respectfully disagree. It's different when you're dealing with small things like a can, or a spoon, or a bottle of ketchup - I agree that when it's reused more than once, it shouldn't be included. A guitar, on the other hand, is not a small thing, and in the context of this toon, it's a very noticeable item. And given that this is (possibly) the first time that a live-action shot was included in a SBE-mail, I think it's notable. I do agree that not every re-used prop deserves its own fun fact, but I do think that this one DOES deserve mentioning. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*****C'mon, the guitar also shows up in the 100th e-mail along with Limozeen. Its not important enough to point out everytime it shows up. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
******Geez, lighten up... for starters, that's in an easter egg, not the main cartoon. And as I said before, live-action bits in an animated series are special cases. But this bickering is meaningless - unless someone else votes, it's at a deadlock. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*******'''Decline.''' Since you said it was a deadlock... I think it's a silly fun fact. I'm sure the Brothers Chaps don't have new guitars lying around for every time they want to put one in a toon. Of course it's always the same guitar. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 20:40, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment.''' Quite frankly, I find the "TBC re-use items all the time!" argument to be weak. This is a place where people look for connections between toons, and while not EVERY re-used item deserves a mention (the Wiki would be clogged with entries about ketchup bottles, old cans, and wooden spoons), there must be certain times when the reappearance of re-used items is notable. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
* Right right (and I'm the one who needs to lighten up). Look, the guitar also shows up on the Limozeen poster in Haircut. Is there going to be a fun fact for that appearance as well? It doesn't matter whether the guitar shows up in an easter egg or as part of the main cartoon. Its a re-used prop, not any different than TBC re-using the animated props. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**I think the point I'm trying to make is that in those other instances, the guitar is not an active part of the toon. The fact that in "best thing" the guitar is *tossed* from animated to live-action makes it noticeable, and therefore, notable in the fun facts. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
** Um no, that still just makes it a PROP. And it still doesn't change the fact that its had other appearances before Best Thing. In fact, it shows up almost everytime Limozeen does so its safe to assume it'll show up again in the future. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***"Almost?" I think not - it doesn't show up in their picture in [[monster truck]], it doesn't show up in their [[Limozeen Thanksgiving E-cards]], or any of their other appearances besides the easter eggs in [[haircut]] or [[flashback]] (which are the guitar's ONLY other appearances besides [[Puppet Time]]). Still, there's a difference between a prop that's just for scenery and a prop that is an active part of the action - in the easter egg appearances, it's just held with no explicit reference being made to it. This isn't the case in Puppet Time and Best Thing. And my reasoning for the weakness of the "TBC re-use items" argument is that the average viewer won't say "Hey, the Brothers Chaps re-use that guitar cuz they can't afford to go out and get a new one each time they wanna put one in a live-action shot" - the average viewer is more likely to say "HEY! That guitar looks just like the one Homestar takes away in 'Puppet Time'." An electric guitar is a noticeable item, other minor props like a bottle of ketchup or an old can are not - there is a diference, end of story.--[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
**Theres a bit of a flaw to your reasoning there guy. The use of the guitar isn't meant to be in refererence to anything. Its not important or central to the gag at hand. They could've used the black guitar for all it mattered. It would not have changed the joke at all. As I keep saying, ITS JUST ANOTHER PROP. If someone had posted that the guitar in Puppet Time was the same one in Flashback would you have rejected that fun fact? In fact, since you have to go out of the way to view the easter eggs its logical that pointing out the guitar's appearances in Hair cut and Flashback are more important than the one in Best thing. After all, if not everyone is going to see the easter eggs then its decidedly harder to note the use of the guitars. And thats what fun facts are for right? Pointing out stuff that people normally wouldn't notice right? So if we wouldn't point it out for the easter eggs why should we point it out here? But you go ahead and be obtuse and declare victory all you want. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***There's a flaw in YOUR reasoning - it's more central to the gag at hand than either of the easter eggs in Haircut or Flashback, someone DID point out the guitar's appearance in Flashback, no I wouldn't have rejected it (being only the second time it's been used), and going out of the way to get the easter eggs does NOT make it more important than the reference in Best Thing - in fact, the easter eggs make them less important as they're not an integral part of the toon. And I'm not being obtuse, you're being argumentative (as usual). --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
** I like how you added in "as usual", as if we've had a million arguments before when in fact I do believe this is the closest thing to an argument I've had here (and if it isn't, its the first one I've had with you. The fact is that if the guitar had been a cartoon prop people would've jumped on it screaming "TBC re-use things all the time". The guitar was not central to joke. It could have been any guitar that was thrown. Therefore, its just another prop. Second, one thing you said is that this fact is valid because some viewers might not have noticed the guitar's re-usage. The re-use is even less important if its been pointed out elsewhere on the site (hey, lets mention that Homsar started out in the e-mail "Homsar" everytime he appears). ITS. JUST. A. PROP. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***It doesn't matter how much you capitalize it or put periods after every word, it doesn't make it more true or the guitar less noticeable. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*<s>'''Accept''' It also can be a fun fact as this particular instance(unlike the cans, ketchup, ect...) was difficult to notice. I hadnt recognised the guitar's similarity in the two toons even after watching each toon 3 times (as i do with most toons). --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 11:50, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)</s>
**After reading all the arguments, I am changing my vote to a '''Decline'''. Animated or not, it is stiull just a prop and is just as unimportant. --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 12:46, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Cancelled after first episode====
There are five shows that were cancelled after their first episode:
:'''You're in the Picture, CBS, aired 20 January 1961'''
:'''Turn On, ABC, aired 05 February 1969'''
:'''Co-Ed Fever, CBS, aired 04 February 1979'''
:'''South of Sunset, CBS, aired 23 October 1993'''
:'''Dot Comedy, ABC, aired 15 December 2000'''
Of the five, '''Turn-on''', ABC's attempt to copy NBC's "'''Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In'''," was actually cancelled by several affiliates during the first commercial break!

*'''"SEVERE DECLINE!"''' (Changed from "Weak Accept...") --[[User:Aussie Evil|Aussie Evil]] 08:44, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' While this is an interesting fact, it really doesn't have a place here, being that none of those shows have anything to do with HSR and the only connection is being cancelled after one show. Interesting, but not relevant enough. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 09:13, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''--[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 23:47, 12 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline.''' It isn't relevant. Plus, the addition of the show "The Will," which was cancelled earlier this year by CBS after only airing one episode, makes six. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 13:13, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:29, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''STRONG ACCEPT!!''' I think it's fun and interesting. The show that you said was cancelled after the first commercial break must be reference to the strong bad e-mail "'''montage'''". At the end when the credits are rolling it says that strong bad hosted a show on Animal Planet that cancelled after the first commercial break. The strong bad show also might be a reference to a show on Animal Planet that was hosted by Collin Mochrie that cancelled quickly. --[[User:s t i n k o m a n K|s t i n k o m a n K]]
** Fun? Interesting? Perhaps. How about RELEVANT? Sorry, fails that test. '''DECLINE''' --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:22, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' There was also a show called "Aliens in the family" that got cancelled after one episode. There are just too many shows to list for this to be a viable fact. And a '''second''' on Jay Jay's vote. It isn't relevent anyway. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Actually, Donny, Aliens In The Family lasted only two episodes before it was cancelled. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 11:45, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
** The ABC affiliate where I live only showed the first episode. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Point One''' This has been mentioned about other single-episode shows already. '''Point Two''' Nobody wants to read about failure shows on a site about a successful web cartoon.
*'''Major Revision then Accept''' Only keep Turn-On, because, like the Limozeen cartoon, it didn't even make it through the pilot episode. Oh, and '''Point Three''' Sign your vote.--[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 08:43, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Parappa the Noodle ====
Bozar turning Limozeen's instruments into noodles could be a reference to the Playstation 2 game, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PaRappa_the_Rapper_2 Parappa the Rapper 2]".

====Flash MX====
This flash file version of this e-mail is named sbemail126_mx.swf instead of sbemail126.swf, because the email was made in Flash MX.

==== A DV-what? ====
From the style of animation portrayed, the bizarre space setting, and the availability of VHS VCRs, the Limozeen cartoon pilot likely aired some time in the early-to-mid-1980's. However, Larry's mentioning of DVDs at the end of the episode suggests that it could not have aired before 1997, when DVDs first hit the American market, and likely aired even later when old television shows started being sold on DVD.

*'''Decline.''' This rambles and makes no sense. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 13:24, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
* '''Revise, Accept''' Rambles? Perhaps. But I understand what it's saying - the cartoon looks like it's from the 80s, but Larry's comment at the end makes it seem more modern. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:19, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Alternative vs. Hair Metal ====
The dialog at the end of the cartoon about Limozeen (who are parody of 80's Hair Metal Bands) being kicked off the charts by an Alternative band that has a girl as a bassist, etc. is most likely a reference to the fact that by the early 1990's people were tired of the excesses of Hair Metal bands and the popularity of that genre was already on the wane. Alternative Rock bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer (SP had 2 female bassists, Weezer's lead singer wears glasses) which were generally considered by many music critics to be smarter, hipper and closer to the roots of what rock is all about, put the nail in the coffin of the L.A. Glam Metal scene.

==== Guy With a Metal Jaw ====
With his mechanical jaw and arm, Mitch Overlord seems designed to resemble Trap-Jaw; one of Skeletor's henchman in [[Wikipedia:Masters_of_the_Universe|the He-Man tv show]], another popular 80s saturday morning cartoon series.
:Or, Dr. Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon.
:Or, Baron Underbite from The Venture Brothers.
:Or, Malak from SW:KOTOR (At least with the head and voice)
::Which, in turn, could have been designed to resemble another character from an 80's saturday morning cartoon show
:Or, Hacker from Centurions (a cartoon created in 1986)

*'''Revise''' Condense this somehow. Like 'With his mechanical jaw and arm, Mitch Overlord seems designed to resemble any number of cliche cartoon villains like Trap Jaw (from He-Man), Dr. Claw (from Inspector Gadget)' etc.. etc. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 18:32, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== See you in syndication ====
Larry's comment joining them next time 'In syndication! Or maybe on DVD!' could be a referance to short-lived shows like ''Clerks'' or ''Family Guy'' which after they were canceled begain airing in syndicates on other networks or on collectors DVDs.

*'''Decline''' It's pretty standard industry practice to show a cancelled show in syndication, even the wildly unsuccessful ones, since it makes the studio money. The recent phenomena of releasing everything in DVD format is just an extension of this. At any rate, this is way too obvious for a 'fun' fact, and we don't really need a thousand edits of this once everyone has added their own favorite, unjustly canceled show. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 18:44, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline''' It actually happened the opposite way with ''Clerks'': It was realeased on DVD then syndication. The joke is fairly obvious anyway and doesn't need a fun fact to explain it.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

==== The Beatles ====
The alternative rock band that knocked Limozeen off the charts may be a reference to The Beatles - The "girl" bassist (Paul McCartney, who was known as the "cute one"), the short-haired drummer (Ringo Starr), and the bespectacled lead singer (John Lennon).
*'''Decline''' The Beatles are not an alternative band, they were not responsible for destroying metal, and the bassist is not actually a girl, so I don't see why this would be a reference to the Beatles rather than a stereotypical alternative band.

*'''Decline''' Need I really say why? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==== Strong Bad's cancelled Animal Planet show ====
Strong Bad's show that was cancelled may also be a refrence to Limozeen in Space being cancelled during it's pilot episode in best thing. (Originally posted in [[montage]], but would make more sense the other way around and posted in best thing, IMO).
*'''Decline''' I really don't see why. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 16:59, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' They are similar events, but there's no connection between them. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:05, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise/Move''' It's a re-used joke, sure... but a clear reference? Seems a bit of a stretch. Maybe it would be better to toss up a new page about the instances of this and linking to it on the [[Inside Jokes]] page (where it seems like it would most belong). --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 09:02, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Decline''' It's simply a re-used joke or a running gag, not a clear reference. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 09:21, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Background Goof ====
When the Limozeen spaceship is flying throughout space, the background obviously loops; however, it does not tile well at all, with noticeable seams flying by every second.

*'''Comment:''' I was going to put it in there, but I wasn't really sure how well it'd go over; chances are this is some minor joke or something that I'm not getting. Soo... is it a Goof or not? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:29, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite and Move, then Accept''' Maybe you could move it to real-world references, because old Hanna-Barberra (or whatever) cartoons obviously looped too. Though the noticible seam thing is worth thinking about. Hmmm... I think it should be used as a reference to cartoons like The Flinstones. But I'm rambling. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 19:07, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
** '''Absolutely not!''' References to "This that and the other thing" are totally useless and encourage people to add to it, making it MORE useless. Maybe an Explanation or Remark, but not a Reference. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Rewrite.''' This is a decent reference to the common practice of looping backgrounds in cartoons, and the Fun Fact should reflect that. This item should be split into two parts - one regarding the looping and the other regarding the noticeable seams. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 23:14, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Babylon 5 ====
"Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a combined reference to [[Wikipedia:Encounter_at_Farpoint|Encounter at Farpoint]] (the first episode of [[Wikipedia:Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]) '''and the popular science-fiction show [[Wikipedia:Babylon_5|Babylon 5]].''' (only the part in bold is in question)

*'''Accept:''' Babylon 5 is similar enough to Groupulon 5, and it's the same genre as both Star Trek and the email itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:56, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:51, 20 Mar 2005 (CST)
**'''Comment''' It's my opinion that for the reason above the Babylon reference is much stronger than the Star Trek reference. If the B5 ref is a stretch it seems to me that the ST ref is equally stretchy. [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:51, 20 Mar 2005 (CST)

The box says "His first initial is 'M' - that's where this comes from.

==== Pizza Pizzazz ====
The appearance of a spinning pizza during the word "Pizzaz" may be a reference to the Pizzaz Pizza Oven, which rotates the pizza under a heating element to cook it.
*'''Decline.''' I don't think that they were purposefully referencing the Pizzaz Pizza oven. The two words are just spelled similarly.

==== Another brick in the wall ====
At the end of the opera, the cast is on a stage, where the bottom of the stage is a white bricked wall with blue brick outlines. This might be a refrence to the popular rock opera The Wall, by Pink Floyd, as the wall in the Floyd's opera is the same. [[User:MajorB|MajorB]] 17:07, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

In the beginning of the toon when Homestar is spreading the marshmallow spread on the veggie burger, the spread changes everytime he spreads it. Thought it was an interesting detail.

****To be frank, what I said didn't really seem rude to me. I'm not particularly sure how you can say that my politely asking you to tone down is far ruder than coming up to somebody's face and practically calling them an idiot.

*'''Strong Decline''' Homestar has a speech impediment. He does pronounce 'n's as 'm's. This is amazingly obvious so it should not be a fun fact.
**He never pronounces "Marzipan" as "Marzipam". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 18:41, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

====Bumdumbourge and Totalslava====
Bumdumbourg and Totalslava are obviously loose references to the countries Luxembourg and Bratslava.

*'''Decline.''' Bratslava isn't a country, nor is it even spelled right! The correct spelling is Bratislava, which is the capital of Slovakia. The only one who could even really be considered a reference is Bumdumborge, and even that's a stretch. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]]
** '''Second''' The Luxembourg reference is TOO obvious, and the "Bratslavia" too wrong. The former Yugoslavia would work better, but it's still pretty obvious that SB was just making up country-like names off the top of his head (similar to Dortugal and Prance.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:23, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

====German Radio? ====
Old-timey Strong Bad's pronunciation of radio (rah-dio) is actually the German pronunciation of the word.

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.

There is a real news radio station transmitting from Cleveland, OH with the call letters WSBD. The Brothers Chaps most likely did not know about this, as SBD can easily stand for Strong Bad.

*'''<s>Possible</s> Decline''' This might not be a fact at all, since the only positive reference I could find that listed a WSBD in Cleveland is [http://www.cisworldservices.org/newsarticles/news_wsbdradio1.html this page], which is likely a mistake by the author of the CIS webpage, as there is a [http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=wspd&x=0&y=0&is_unl=Y&is_lic=Y&is_cp=Y&sr=Y&s=C&sid= WSPD] radio station in Toledo, Ohio with a newsradio format.

*'''Decline.''' The tune is '''not''' the same as the Dokken song, and without the tune being the same this is too much of a stretch. -[[User:166.102.250.139|166.102.250.139]] 23:23, 20 Feb 2005 (EST)

Double Double Whippless Mochaccino Half Caf is a Coffee drink from Starbucks. However, it is actually called a Venti Half-caf frapaccino w/o whipped cream (not all Starbucks serve this). Double Double refers to a coffee from Tim Hortons with two creams and two sugars.

Not only is this not the exact name of a Starbucks drink, the person who posted this fact also had the drink wrong; a Mochaccino is not the same as a Frappuccino or even a Mocha Frappuccino, and "double double" refers to the amount of espresso in the drink, not the size of the drink (so we don't know it's Venti).

During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

==== Mormon Missionary ====
E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are not allowed to use the Internet during that time.

*'''Accept.''' -- [[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 09:04, 8 Jan 2005 (MST)

**TBC claim not to have come up with any of the content in the e-mails Strong Bad answers, so the name is probably not a joke.

But apparently there's always a first time... --[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 02:19, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)
****In fact, actually, the more I think about this the less sense it makes. Not only is "Elder" in my experience never abbreviated to "E.", but it wouldn't make sense for him to be referring to himself as "Elder Fullmer" in the first place. If he's sending an e-mail saying he's going to be gone for two years and unable to access the web, that means he hasn't started his mission yet, and he wouldn't be calling himself "Elder Fullmer" yet. Okay, I understand someone says this guy is a friend of his coworker and he was indeed a soon-to-be Mormon missionary, fine, but...did his first name, by any chance, start with E? Because that would still make a lot more sense than the "E." standing for Elder when Elder isn't abbreviated that way and he wouldn't be calling himself Elder yet anyway. In fact, the personal testimonial notwithstanding, this rings false for me on enough levels I'm going to have to vote '''Decline''' on this one unless some more direct evidence arises. -[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 16:07, 1 Mar 2005 (MST)

====A grill, a doghouse, a trash can, an igloo and the TARDIS====
The spacious interior of The Cheat's house may be a reference to Snoopy's house from the Peanuts comics. It also looked small and ordinary on the outside, but was very large and luxurious on the inside, housing, among other things, his prized Van Gogh. It might also be a reference to Oscar the Grouch's trash can (from Sesame Street), which is also small on the outside, but contains a swimming pool and a number of other facilities within. It could also be a reference to the Nickelodeon show Doug, where his smart dog's (Porkchop) igloo is WAY roomier than it looked. Or even the TARDIS from Dr Who...

*'''Neutral''' I doubt its a reference to any those, but for some reason, I don't want to decline it. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 22:03, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Length Of Grabbo Arm ====
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
**'''Comment.''' Actually you CAN see how far the Grabbo Arm goes off screen. just watch the .swf file. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 14:52, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --24.21.86.243 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

**'''Second''' But get rid of the "Homestar says" part. Thats already noted in the transcript and adds un-needed weight to the fact. Just say "Its unclear how Homestar's clock can...and the rest"..[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' However, I think another important thing is the fact that if the clock does not have an AM/PM indicator, then Homestar would have had to set him clock after 10 AM (because, obviously, you can't set a clock like that any more than 12 hours in advance), further proving how...ahem... absent-minded he is.
*'''Decline''' I think we're trying to make a very complicated issue out of a very subtle joke - with no indicator, he COULDN'T have set it for AM or PM, in which case, his statement isn't false, it's just stupid... which isn't surprising coming from Homestar. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:43, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== Blade man ====
The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].

*'''Decline.''' This, and the phone without the wire, is a reference to a disturbingly dark cartoon "Salad Fingers" whose title character enjoys touching rusty objects and once used a similar phone.

==== Wizard of Oz ====

And racerx, what exactly are you getting at here?--[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 13:53, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)
** What racerx is getting at, BTW, is that User:24.21.86.243 added a whole bunch of Fun Facts under one heading and Declined them all with one comment. Someone later came in and split them, putting User:IP's Decline in all of them (which is why all of the Fun Facts near this one have the same Decline comment, even where inappropriate). Apparently, racerx responded to all of them but didn't get his response split in quite the way he'd intended (he meant to decline two of the facts and accept the rest) - and I'm surprised I'm just now noticing. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 23:44, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

I went ahead and added this, combined with the existing not-as-fun fact about the 'anatomically incorrect' keyboard.

*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think.

Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story.

*'''Comment''' It has been pointed out that his clock has no AM/PM indicator, and according to my reasoning, he could not have set it more than 12 hours in advance. When I consider this dubious fun fact (It's odd considering...) and the point that I made on the fun fact about Homestar's clock, Homestar could have changed his calendar when he woke up on December 25th, and set his clock to 10 PM and gone back to sleep, because he simply did not realize that the 25th was significant, nor did he realize... anything... about time. Sorry for the long-winded comment, but it makes sense to me.
**'''Comment on the comment.''' That just occurred to me as well - What does Homestar do at the end of the toon when Strong Bad reminds him there's only 7 minutes left? He runs around like a maniac because he "forgot to buy presents"... just like he does at the beginning of the toon. It's even possible that he went through the same thing earlier in the day and we just don't see it. Given the "12 hours in advance" limitation, unless Strong Bad broke into his house and messed with his clock sometime during the day, Homestar would have had to be up no earlier than 10 AM on the 25th. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:22, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Revise, accept.''' I think that a fun fact should be listed that explains both speculations, for example: "There has been quite some speculation about Coach Z talking on his unplugged phone. Some say it is a reference to the Salad Fingers series, in which Salad Fingers uses a similar phone, and also due to the rusty steak knife, as Salad Fingers likes to touch rusty objects. Others say it is a reference to the film The Waterboy, as in one scene, Coach Klein(Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Comment''' Talk about bloated - that revision is a STUFF item just waiting to happen. We're working with Fun '''Facts''' here, not semi-random speculations.

==== "state trooper" ====
Homsar's line "You're a real state trooper" is a commonly mistaken lyric from the song '''Straight Shooter''' by The Mamas and the Papas. The real lyric is "You're a real straight shooter." [[User: Terra Rising|Terra Rising]] Dec 27, 2004 1:40 AM (PST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

The thing is, the whole issue is quite ambiguous, since the way the perspective works, we never see the keyboard and it's possible that Strong Bad IS able to type without us seeing.

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== "You ever see me in a car? No!" ====

Another subtle fun fact: At the end of the email, Strong Bad says, "You ever see me in a car? No!" Interestingly, he is seen in the Gremlin just a few emails later, in the Dangeresque 3 email.
*'''Revise, Move''' I think this belongs more in the Dangeresque 3 email fun facts. Also, get rid of the "Another subtle fun fact" bit. - [[User:Gydea|Gydea]]
*'''Decline.''' I'd actually put the Gremlin more into Bubs' possesion. He came up with it, so it just seems to work along those lines.

*'''Decline'''. Previously someone else said "Strong Bad tends to lie" or something like that. I've thought of that fact before....also the Gremin might not be his. Allow me to reason:
<pre>
stunt double had Dangereque 2
dangeresque 3 had Dangereque 1, with which car.
car had the "You ever see me in a car? No!" quote.

Allow me to put these in order:

dangereque 3(1)
car(quote)
stunt double(2)

First in Dangereque 2, he wasn't in a car.
but Dangereque 1, he was seen in a car.
Dangereque 1 was obviously made before
Dangereque 2, before "car".

This is too confusing, but I hope it gives you a better understanding of it.

--[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 13:55, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think what the above user is saying is that since Dangeresque 1 is a prequel to Dangeresque 2, and Dangeresque 2 was made before "car", that Strong Bad had been in a car before "car" was made. However, I think there is evidence in the "dangeresque 3" e-mail that Dangeresque 1 was actually made after Dangeresque 2 (within the H*R universe). Note the sign at the beginning that says "Not in 3-D" and the fact that it is called "Dangeresque 1", not just "Dangeresque." Strong Bad probably realized there was no Dangeresque 1 and subsequently made one, excusing its appearance after Dangeresque 2 by saying it was the limited edition director's cut.

==== Unemployed? ====

In [[montage]], The Cheat is said to be unemployed. However, he has been a paid lackey since he'd known Strong Bad. (might fall under montage fun fact too).

*'''Decline''' Yeah, and "lackey" looks real good on a resume - Current Salary: pencil shavings... Seriously though, as it is with just about any kind of gag, it involves something being exaggerated. Strong Bad was asked to create a montage - so he made some up... emphasis on "made up". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:39, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Ian|Ian]] 18:52, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)

**'''Comment.''' I disagree - even if the series is loaded with exaggerated gags, there are still accepted premises. Also, don't forget that the end credits photo montages usually give narration from some point after what takes place in the montage - The Cheat could become unemployed in some toon in the future, which would make this item moot. In any case, as I said above, SB was asked to "creat" a montage, so the result was something he completely made up - in that respect, whatever comes of it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be canon. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)

*'''Comment.''' I just realized the problem with this item: there isn't really a discrepancy here. Lackey is #96 while Montage is #117, so it's possible that The Cheat could have become unemployed (as a lackey) between then and...then. We're not told about anything regarding The Cheat's job status in the meantime, so this isn't really that notable. (And my comments above about the montage not being canon still stand.) --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
**Not necessarily. I am sure that if Strong Bad did lose his The Cheat, we would have heard about it. I'm sure The Cheat is more valueable to him than his Compy, but look at how much he freaked out when it was shotgun'd, If he lost The Cheat he would probably be depressed for a few weeks. Also, in extra plug, The Cheat still stands by, wating for his orders (to plug in the shoes) which would indicate he is still a valueable lackey to SB. And I realise that he "created a montage", and the results dont have to be completely true. However, there is nothing indicating that it is UNtrue either.--[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 12:36, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

The 1936 Strong Bad hauling the Parsnips in the wheel barrow with Strong Man and The Sneak is reminiscent of Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad hauling the Biggest Raddish in [[The Reddest Radish]]. In fact, it has been speculated that this is the 1936 predecessor to The Reddest Raddish.

*'''Rewrite'''- Too long and confusing --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 15:48, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' ...though I almost voted Decline. The reference is a decent one. Perhaps something as simple as:
The 1936 Strong Bad, Strong Man, and The Sneak stealing the parsnips
in the wheelbarrow is reminiscent of the scene in The Reddest Radish
where their 21st-century counterparts steal Marzipan's radish.
::The mention of the speculation is unnecessary. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:49, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
=== [[Strong Sad's Lament]] ===

==== Meh ====

"meh" is one of Strong Sad's emotions, and it also is frequently said by The Cheat.

*'''Decline.''' It's to obvious, It's like saying Homestar's speech impediment. Meh is also an emotion meaning normal, not happy, not sad, just...meh. - [[User:Stinkoman K|Stinkoman K]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:14, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 06:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

===Strong Bad's Lament?===
History Lesson Part II is written in the exact style of Strong Bad, as in that the entry says Johnny Appleseed was a hippie, and calls Strong Sad "dumpus". This may be becasue Strong Sad gave out his password earlier, so Strong Bad may have hacked Strong Sad's account and written his own entry.

*'''Decline.''' If that was true, Strong Bad would more likely write "HJLWHOUISNASNKL?A STUPID!! GUY I AM A STUPID GUY!! HA HA HA!!!!GUIS kljIUS SJ". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:16, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*That was one incident! You can't say that Strong Bad would write like that all the time. And you can't honestly say that sounds like Strong Sad. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 20:39, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*<s>'''Revise, Accept''' Too much speculation as written, but I must admit that it DOES look a bit more like SB's handiwork than SS's. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:17, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)</s>
*'''Decline''' I'm not seeing Strong Bad listening to a live David Bowie track... [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:36, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**And doubt Strong Bad could draw that good. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 11:42, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
** We ARE talking about the same Strong Bad, right...?
*You're using his art and musical tastes as an argument? Strong Bad's drawings of Trogdor during the theme is just as good as Saddy Dumpington, and Strong Sad would not call himself Dump*, let alone call anyone a hippie. And Strong Bad's character in no way reflects his music choices. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 16:15, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**What makes you think the drawings at the end of [[dragon]] are Strong Bad's? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 17:43, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***What makes you think the Saddy Dumpington drawing is Strong Sad's? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:54, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*Oh, and thanks to whoever added "Strong Bad's Lament to this section. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 16:16, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Vote change!''' Yup, I'm changing my vote. To a simple '''Accept'''. I didn't notice that his password really WAS given out on the page! I'm still pretty confident that the writing style and choice of words look more like SB than SS. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:00, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==Games==

===[[Stinkoman_20X6]]===

====Control Scheme====
The poor control scheme (a to jump, s to fire) may be another Mega Man reference, this time to the Mega Man Anniversary Collection which included Mega Man 1-8. On the Gamecube version, the controls for fire and jump were also messed up. (a to fire, b to jump) This eventually ended up with many frusterated gamers who intented to jump over a bottomless pit, but instead fired their plasma buster instead.
*'''Decline'''. This has got to be a joke. Poor control scheme? Tons of computer games use cursor keys as directions and a and s as action buttons. Also it is not uncommon to see the action buttons in the same order, with jump on the left and attack on the right. Additionally, many gamers choose a and s as their main buttons when setting up games and emulators and have no joypad. I'm sorry for whoever got burned by Mega Man, but this really isn't the place for it. -[[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 11:52, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. --[[User:MZilla|MZilla]] 23:18, 22 Mar 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline'''. The control scheme for Stinkoman 20X6. Whoever wrote this was probably mad at MMAC and just wanted to get it out of his system. I really don't see what the problem is. I have that game, and in a few minutes I was fully adapted to the weirdish control scheme, no problem. -[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:21, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. I, too, have that game, and it came almost second nature. It's not a "poor" control sceme. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:41, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''', mostly because it's irrelevant (although I DID hate that reversed control scheme in ''MMAC''...). --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:39, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Second and a comment'''. Hey, the Jump-with-B, Shoot-with-A scheme worked for Metroid Prime, why not MMAC? :P Hehe, oh well. :) -[[User:JakeARoonie|JakeARoonie]] 16:28, 02 Apr 2005 (CST)
*'''Decline''' This is waaay too big of a stretch. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:26, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline w/Comment''' I've been playing MMAC on the Gamecube recently. The button layout is not that convoluted at all - once you get used to it, it's second-nature. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Ninja Gaiden Levels====
Level X.x is also a reference to the display of levels in Ninja Gaiden.
*'''Decline'''. The display of levels within Ninja Gaiden used a dash rather than a period and sub-level notation has been used in a number of different games. Had each level been called an "Act" as in Ninja Gaiden, you'd be onto something. --[[User:MZilla|MZilla]] 23:38, 22 Mar 2005 (CST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:24, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' Sub-level notation was used as early as Super Mario 1... And even with "Act" it still wouldn't have just been Ninja Gaiden... Sonic had that too. -[[User:JakeARoonie|JakeARoonie]] 16:30, 02 Apr 2005 (CST)
*Uh, no it's not. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:27, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Stoves====
Planet K is in the Year 20X6, where gas stoves would have gone out of everyday life, yet some can be seen in stage 2.

*'''Decline'''To quote geoguy: What's the big deal? I feel that Homestar Runner's world is on a different plane of reality. It obviouslty is, but in saying on the official Wiki page that gas stoves are supposed to be obsolete by 20X6? What is 20X6? 2016? Gas is most likely to run out in 2025 in OUR world. In Homestar's world, there may be abundant reserves of oil. Have you ever seen anyone drive a car(for real) in Free Country, USA? They may well use mainly solar power. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline''' This is quite presumptuous - how do we know that gas stoves would have become osbolete? --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' maybe 20x6 is 2006... ever thought of that, smart guy? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:32, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====More Levels====
When you beat the game it will say "MORE LEVELS TO COME!".

*Far too obvious; anyone who beats the game can see that. Sure, it might be useful to anyone who can't beat the game, but it's hardly worth being listed as a "fun fact". --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Accept''' Since the game doesn't have a Transcript, this is useful information for the game's page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Oh, and Ogog, I'm assuming that's a Decline? You never actually voted. Just a heads-up. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:42, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*I was going to leave it for others to decide after I explained why I moved it here, but yeah, '''Decline'''. --Ogog
*'''Weak Accept''' It doesn't seem worth pointing out, really, but I guess it's interesting. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:33, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' It is now noted in the Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:58, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Stone Fist====
When you beat the final boss, Stinkoman says he got a power-up and puts on the stone fist, showing an almost 100% chance for more levels!

*'''Decline'''Same as the "More Levels" fun fact listed above. Obvious and not noteworthy as a fun fact. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Accept''' Same as my comment above - since the game has no Transcript, it's useful as a fact. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''. This doesn't show that there will be new levels. That's what the screen AFTER the cutscene's for. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:41, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept!''' [[User:http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Extremejon|Extremejon]]
*I'm wearing clothes, does that mean for sure I'm going out? '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:33, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Now noted in the walkthrough transcript --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:59, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Second''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 06:43, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Engrish====
The creators of Stinkoman 20X6 are poking fun at the 'all your base are belong to us' type language goofs in the stereotypical English port of a Japanese game.

*'''Decline'''There is absolutely no need to point this out. Yet another fun fact that's too obvious. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Weak Accept''' I do agree that is kind of obvious, but this does constitute a valid reference. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline'''; noted at the top of the page. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:43, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
*Zero Wing is far from the first instance of Engrish. Come on. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:34, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Brody====
Brody looks similar to Big Bird from Sesame Street.

*'''Decline'''Aside from Brody's legs and coloring, this isn't true. And the legs and coloring don't hold much water on their own, seeing as how: A. Birds' legs look something like that and are often illustrated that way. B. Every other chicken in Level 2 is colored yellow, and chickens are often illustrated to be yellow anyway. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:35, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)

====Tampo====
The name Tampo may be a reference to a Japanese kind of fried food (Tempura). Or even Tempo, the speed of music.

*'''Decline'''This is very doubtful. Tempura is a big stretch, sure the manual says Tampo is as mean as he is delicious, but that hardly connects Tampo and tempura. And ''tempo''?? Tampo has nothing to do with tempo or even anything musical. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
** '''Comment''' Well, it IS a Mega Man parody, and many Mega Man characters are named for musical terms (Rock & Roll, Blues [in Japan], Bass, Treble, Forte [in Japan], Gospel [in Japan], Rush, Tango, Beat, Punk, Enka/Enker, Quint, Ballad(e), Duo... and I'm probably forgetting a few.) Of course, that doesn't automatically mean that Tampo was named for the term "tempo" - it probably wasn't - but it's not outside the realm of possibility. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
***'''Decline''' The creators of Megaman had music in mind when they made the character. They said so. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 06:03, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Big stretch in both cases. And a '''Comment''' to [[User:Ogog|Ogog]], make sure that your comments are bulleted and that you show your vote as Accept or Decline. Also, make sure you remove the STUFF'd item when you put it on this page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 15:38, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. Er, the vote, that is. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:44, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

===[[Bronco Trolleys]]===

====Wagon Wheel====
This after-school snack is along the lines of the Wagon Wheel (a slice of cheese between 2 round crackers) which was immortalized in the classic "Time For Timer" cartoon about [http://www.allthingsanimated.com/ata/episodes.asp?cartoon_id=885 hankering for a hunk of cheese]. The circular shape, Western theme, suggestion of locomotion, and after-school nature of this snack add up to a [[TBC]] homage. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 03:05, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I suppose that's interesting. --67.161.224.65
*'''Rewrite''' Fun facts shouldn't reference "me". The wiki is supposed to be informational, like an encyclopedia. -- [[User:Tim333|Tim333]]
** Good point: It was re-written as suggested. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]
*'''Rewrite''' It wasn't Schoolhouse Rock. It was Time for Timer. --Jeffrey
*'''Accept.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' In an interview with one of the Brothers Chaps, he says that the Bronco Trolley was something he saw in a dream.
**Please sign your vote. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 17:11, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

== General ==

=== Cross-Toon Facts ===

==== Parents ====
When [insert scene here], this is one of the few references to any of the characters having any parents.
* '''Decline every last case''' Not necessary; the parents of various characters are referred to multiple times (the Bros. Strong, Pom-Pom, and even Marzipan (even though the last one was later changed.)) Similarly, any instance of "This is the first time Strong Sad has smiled/laughed/burped/sighed/whatevered" is not only silly but, these days, wrong. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:44, 9 Feb 2005 (MST)
* '''Revise, Accept.''' Just replace [insert scene here] with a description of the scene, and you're good to go.
** The point to this fact is that people have attempted to add it to MANY emails under MANY circumstances (and some incorrectly labelled it "the first" instead of "one of the few".) Notice that this is under "Cross-Toon Facts". --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' The phrase "one of the few" should automatically disqualify this from being accepted. Fun facts should tell something unique or noteworthy about the toon in question - if you have to rattle off a list of other toons where the same thing happened (except in extreme cases where a reference to a previous e-mail/toon is explicit), then it shouldn't be included. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:53, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

Homestar Runnar: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:sbemail126.png|thumb|"Limozeen Pilot: Encounter at Groupulon 5"]]

'''Strong Bad Email #126'''

Strong Bad shows us the best thing he's ever seen, done or eaten: the quickly cancelled pilot of Limozeen in Space!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Limozeen]], [[Teeg Dougland]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Mitch Overlord]], Bozar, [[Nebulon]]

'''Date:''' March 8, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 4:02

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got to ''e''-mail, just to stay alive! ''{types "strongbad_email.exe", begins reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
How you doin'? I have three quick questions...
1. What's the best thing you've ever seen?
2. What's the best thing you've ever done?
3. What's the best thing you've ever eaten?

Later,
Albin J. (from Maryland)</pre>

''{Strong Bad doesn't read the numbers, and after saying "seen", he immediately follows with "done, eaten." He also whispers "from, from Maryland." Then he clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm doing real real ''{types "rrll rrll"}'' well Albi. Believe it or not, I've got one answer for all three questions. And that answer is...

''{Cut to an image of a video tape labelled "Limozeen cartoon" and "Don't record over for dang's sake!!!"}''

'''SINGERS:''' VHS!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon shoooooooow!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' It only aired once at, like, 4 a.m. some forgotten Saturday. And guess who was already up and eating brown sugar straight from the box? That's right, Strong Sad. But then I got up and started watching TV. If not for my The Cheat-like VHS reflexes, it would have been as lost as four-armed Grimace. ''{clears screen}'' I'll let you guys see it, but please, no flash photography or video taping. It could damage the precious oils and heavy metals of this priceless piece of television history.

''{cut to the cartoon. It opens with "Metalmation" appearing in large block letters, followed by "presents" in cursive}''

'''SINGER:''' 
Remember those guys from that band Limozeen? 
Well, they turned their tour bus into a space machine! 
And they're still Limozeen!

'''LARRY:''' 
We're still Limozeen!

'''SINGER:''' 
But they're in space!

'''LARRY:''' 
But we're in space?!

''{now the title screen is shown: LIMOZEEN "but they're in space!" The Limozeen members appear in animated form below. Teeg walks in from stage right.}

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. You're in space!

''{one final chord of the theme song plays}''

''{cut to the Couch. Strong Bad is sitting on it, while Strong Sad is leaning on it from behind.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! So classic!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But why are they in space? There's no reason for them to be in space!

'''STRONG BAD:''' On the contrary, my dear Fatson! There's ''every'' reason for them to be in space.

''{title card for "ENCOUNTER AT GROUPULON 5" by A. Chimendez appears. From there, it cuts to the Limozeen members running away from a pair of flesh-colored hands, a pair of blue hands, and two magenta tentacles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, one of their main goals is to both run away from and give backstage passes to all the hot babe-liens of the galaxy.

''{the Limozeen members run into their tour spaceship}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. None of the hot alien chicks from Groupulon 5 have backstage passes to tonight's show.

'''LARRY:''' Then whose midriffs are we gonna sign?

'''GARY:''' What happened to all the passes, Teeg?

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' Galactic radio gave them all away. To Mitch Overlord.

''{The members of Limozeen gasp, as we cut to Mitch Overlord's lair}''

'''MITCH OVERLORD:''' That's right, Limozeen! I was the one million, six hundred and eighty-five thousand, four hundred and twenty-first caller! ''{raises his claw-like right hand and opens and shuts it twice}''

''{The members of Limozeen are shown running again, this time from nothing that can be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' And sometimes the magical prankster Bozar appears and turns reality upside-down.

'''BOZAR:''' ''{please fill}'' Limo-losers! How are you going to play tonight's show after I turn your instruments into Italian noodles?

''{The band is greeted with "boooos" as they attempt to play a concert with their noodle-instruments anyway. Mary eats his noodles instead.}''

'''MARY:''' This is the best show ever, guys!

''{laughter is heard}''

'''LARRY:''' Mary, quit eatin' your drums!

''{Cut to the outside of the tour spaceship flying through space. Nebulon flies past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' But most of all, the episode centers around the boys making sure metal stays number one throughout the galaxy.

''{Cut to spaceship interior}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. We've been knocked off the charts in the Forbidden Zone by an alternative rock band.

'''PERRY:''' But their bassist is a girl!

'''MARY:''' And the drummer's got short hair!

'''LARRY:''' And the lead singer wears glasses!

''{Cut back to the couch. Strong Bad throws the remote at Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ow! What was that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' For you and your kind destroying metal! Chuck Taylor-wearing, low self-esteemers...

''{Cut back to the cartoon. The band is practicing as Teeg walks up to them.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. Our pilot episode has been cancelled.

'''LARRY, GARY, PERRY, and MARY:''' What?

'''GARY:''' Oh well. I guess I won't be needing this anymore. ''{throws his guitar offscreen}''

''{Cut to the real Larry on Strong Bad's television, who catches the real equivalent of the guitar.}''

'''LARRY:''' Oh, thanks, Space Gary! I can't believe we got cancelled! Weeeeeell, join us next time, kids! In syndication! Or maybe on DVD! ''{plays a short tune as the TV fades out. Strong Bad returns to the Lappy.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whattaya think, Albi? If that's not the best thing you've ever seen, done, or eaten, then may I politely ask you to gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and um, have all your done ''{short pause}'' removed.

''{The Paper comes down.}

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "brown sugar" to see a box of "Suge Brown" brown sugar, with the tagline "Don't borrow from thy neighbor".
*At the end of the email, click "eaten" to see a member of Limozeen question his hair color and size:
*:'''MARY:''' How come they made me fat and have red hair?
*:'''LARRY:''' Because you're the comic relief-uh!
*:''{Mary belches loudly}''

==Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*Teeg Dougland was voiced by [[Mike Chapman]] who looks almost identical to Teeg.
*This flash file version of this e-mail is named sbemail126_mx.swf instead of sbemail126.swf

=== Inside References ===
*Limozeen is a band name Strong Bad made up in [[band names]]. This is their first appearance in cartoon form.
*The green alien which floats by in one scene is Nebulon, as seen in [[New Boots]] and [[Main Page 1]].
*The teleplay for Limozeen's cartoon is written by [[A. Chimendez]].
*Teeg Dougland is the name of the director of the [[Moving Very Slowly]] video on the Strong Bad DVD.

=== Real-World References ===
*The fact that Limozeen's cartoon takes place in space for no good reason is likely a reference to several other cartoons which also took place in space for no reason, like [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-5297/ the Partridge Family, 2200 A.D.], [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2345/ Gilligan's Planet], and [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7865/ Josie & the Pussycats In Outer Space], all of which had extremely short runs (usually only one season).
*"Metalmation" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Filmation|Filmation]] animation studio, with the logos looking very similar. Filmation was famous for churning out cookie-cutter cartoons many of which also took place in space for no good reason.
*The repeated "band being chased" segments may be a reference to a Hanna-Barbera 70's staple of stock-footage chase scenes, most prominently in [[Wikipedia:Scooby_Doo|Scooby-Doo]].
**These segments may also be a reference to "A Hard Day's Night" or [http://www.tvtome.com/Beatles/ The Beatles' cartoon series], both of which featured the band being chased by rabid fans.
*The space-logo of Limozeen is very similar to the logo of the popular Nintendo game Metroid.
*"Four-armed Grimace" is a reference to the purple McDonaldland character. Grimace was originally named "The Evil Grimace", and he had four arms-- so that he could hold four shakes at once.
*"My dear Fatson" is an adaptation of "My dear Watson", a way Sherlock Holmes often addressed his assistant.
*Given his apparent penchant for transforming objects in the pursuit of causing trouble, it's possible that "Bozar" could be a reference to Mister Mxyzptlk from ''Superfriends'' and the Superman comics. I'ts unlikely, however, as Mr. Mxyzptlk had a distinctive look (and size) that Bozar does not share.
*"Bozar" might also be a reference to "The Great Gazoo" from the ''Flintstones.''
*"Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Encounter_at_Farpoint|Encounter at Farpoint]], the first episode of [[Wikipedia:Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]], to the popular TV series [[Wikipedia:Babylon_5|Babylon 5]], or to an amalgamation of the two.
*With his mechanical jaw and arm, Mitch Overlord seems designed to resemble Trap-Jaw; one of Skeletor's henchman in [[Wikipedia:Masters_of_the_Universe|the He-Man tv show]], another popular 80s saturday morning cartoon series.
**Or, The Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon.
**Or, Baron Underbite from The Venture Brothers.
* Larry's comment joining them next time 'In syndication! Or maybe on DVD!' could be a referance to short-lived shows like ''Clerks'' which after they were canceled begain airing in syndicates on other networks or on collectors DVDs.
* Mary asking "How come they made me fat and have red hair?" is a reference to [http://www.tvtome.com/RealGhostbusters/ The Real Ghostbusters], where they made the character of Ray Stantz (played in the Ghostbusters film by Dan Aykroyd) fat, and and gave him red hair for no reason. "Because you're the comic relief-uh!" refers to the fact that Ray was the comic relief, at least among the human characters.
* The alternative rock band that knocked Limozeen off the chart may be a composite of 90s post-metal alt bands. Lead Singer wears glasses= Weezer; Bassist that's a girl= Smashing Pumpkins
*The whole idea for a cartooon about a band was based on The beatles' ''Yellow Submarine''

=== Goofs ===
*Just before Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy, you see almost his entire head, but, you cannot see the strings on the back of his mask; usually when they show that much of his head (IE: in [[crazy cartoon]]) you see those strings.

Homestar Runnar: /* Unknown Dates and File Names */

[[Image:Quote_Of_Week_Box_Design.PNG|thumb|The Old and the New]]

The Quote of the Week is a soundbyte from a toon, available to download or just to listen to. (The dates on some of these are just guessed from the file-modified date.)

''As of the November 22nd quote, 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.'' 
''Also, the quotes are now transcribed and saving the [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/qod1122.swf flash file] will not produce desired results. Look [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/hs_word_style.png here].'' 
''As of the July 29th quote, the download option is only available as a .zip file.''

Fhqwhgads (karaoke)

Homestar Runnar — Sun, 27 Feb 2005 21:51:15 GMT

Homestar Runnar: Some stuff I missed. (Grammar mistakes, etc.)

== Summary ==

A karaoke video for [[Everybody to the Limit]], featuring three guys dancing and doing tricks in a skate park, but without skateboards. Contains bad special video effects, in an attempt to parody standard karaoke video conventions. Change the audio to hear [[Marzipan]] sing.

== Hidden Audio Transcript ==

'''Marzipan:''' Okay here we go...

''{Tones imitating Robot voice. Intro.}''

'''Marzipan:'''''{barely singing}'' Come on, Fhqwhgads. Come ON Fhqwhgads. Come on FHQWgads. Yeah. Yeah yeah. Yeah.
''

Tryin' to play like...you know me? I'm like, come on Fhqwhgads.

I said who is that Fhqwhgads. 
I don't know who it is but it probably is Fhqwhgads. 
I asked my friend Joe 
I asked my friend Jake 
They said it was... 
I said come on, Fhqwhgads, 
I said, come on Fhqwhgads. 
Who's that, to the limit? 
Say me, I'm to the limit. 
Everybody, come on Fhqwhgads. Yeah yeah yeah. 
Man, Fhqwhgads 
You're just making yourself something, you're just making yourself look worse. 
I mean, something going to feel sorry for ya. 
I mean, I really do. I really, really do. Yeah. 

''{end screen}''

'''Marzipan:''' Yeah. Oh, I got a really good score. 67 out of a 100! Karoke fun.

== Fun Facts ==
*[[Fhqwhgads]] is consistently misspelled as fhqwghads in the lyrics shown at the bottom of the screen. This is probably an intentional mistake.
*The "yeahs" Marzipan says often are probably a reference to her song [[Oh yeah yeah]].
*Marzipan got the worst score out of all the other karaoke videos.

Trogdor (karaoke)

Homestar Runnar — Sat, 26 Feb 2005 23:19:00 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Hidden Audio Transcript */ - Made a mistake meself.

== Summary==

A cheesy karaoke video for the song "[[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]," complete with bad Renfair costumes! Change the audio track to hear [[Homestar Runner]] sing.

== Hidden Audio Transcript ==
''{The song begins}''

'''Homestar:''' What? It's started already? Oh!

''{Homestar starts singing, but the tune is nothing like the real song.}''

'''Homestar:''' Troggdoorr..... 
Trogdor was a man, 
I mean he was a dragon man, 
Er, maybe he was just --

''{Stops singing suddenly}''

'''Homestar:''' Oh, I'm too...I'm ahead.

''{Starts singing again}''

'''Homestar:''' E-r ''{pronouces the letters e and r}'', maybe he was just a dragon... 
But he was still Troggdoorr....Ding dong ding dong! Troggggdddorrr...Ding dong ding dong ding dong! 
Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants... 
Burninating all the people, in the thatched roof cottages. In the thatched roof cottages... 
''{talking}'' Who's that guy?
''{singing}'' Soolooo! ''{falsetto}'' Solo! Other solo! ''{talking}'' Who's that guy? ''{falsetto}'' Dueling solo, and the little Japanese kids, adn a very wicked solo...''{talking}'' What, I can't read that!

''{End screen}''

'''Homestar:''' 84! I did pretty good! I beat Strong Bad. ''{to screen, as the kid pops up}'' Hi!

== Fun Facts ==
*The whole thing is a parody of karoke video.
*The "I beat Strong Bad" line refers to the karoke video for Nite Mamas, where Strong Bad gets a low score at the end.

Homestar Runnar: /* Hidden Audio Transcript */ - Fixed a few mistakes. (We wanna be as precise as possible, right?)

== Summary ==

Compy 386

Homestar Runnar — Sat, 05 Feb 2005 06:25:22 GMT

Homestar Runnar: The Compy wasn't in sbemail119...its e-mail range was 41-118

[[Image:compy_386_side_view.png|thumb|left|Side view seen in [[fingers]]]]
[[Image:compy386.PNG|thumb|right|A spectacle computer]]
The '''Compy 386''' was [[Strong Bad]]'s second computer, and in his words, "a spectacle of graphics and sound." He used this machine to answer his [[Strong Bad Email]]s after the Tandy 400 was thrown out at the beginning of "invisibility". This machine was built by [[Compy, Inc]] and seemed to have [[couch patch|something against The Cheat]].
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
== Quick Facts ==
'''Debut''': [[invisibility]]

'''Interactive Feature''': You can click on the little wheel to change the screen contrast from black to blue.
[[Image:End_compy.png|thumb|right|The Compy's tragic ending]]
[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|left|That is not a small number!]]
'''Death''': Destroyed by [[Bubs' shotgun]] after being infected by viruses in the email "[[virus]]." [[Bubs]] later sold it to [[Homestar Runner]] as seen in the [[Broken Compy Menu]].

'''Replacement''': [[Lappy 486]] in the email "[[animal]]."
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== The Real Computer ==
[[Image:Powered_Compy.PNG|thumb|right|The Compy appearing in [[Powered by the Cheat]] form in [[mile]], under the name "Compa"]]
[[Image:Puppet_Compy.PNG|thumb|left|The Compy (or at least an Apple II monitor and a Dell keyboard) appearing in [[Puppet Time]]]]
Like the Tandy 400, this was an almost-reference to a real computer. There was a 386 processor, which was very popular in its day, but there was no company called "Compy" that made a 386 version of their computer. He seems to be using a DOS, but in "[[big white face]]" we see him emulating an early version of Mac OS. The "386" logo in "[[invisibility]]" is most likely a reference to the real-life logo of IBM. *Though the Compy 386 is running DOS (programs are .exe), the blue screen is a reference to the Commodore 64, or C64, which was Commodore's predeccesor to the Amiga.

The design of the computer itself seems to be a take on the old Compaq Deskpro 386, which has a similar monitor and keyboard. However, The monitor in the [[Puppet Time]] movie is an old Apple II monitor. The keyboard is a recent model of the Dell QuietKey keyboard that came with earlier Dell computers.

Interestingly, if you look at both the exploded Compy 386 and [[Tandy 400]], you will notice they both contain identical gears and fans, despite being a different manufacturer and generation of computer.

The Virus

Homestar Runnar — Sat, 05 Feb 2005 05:07:44 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Harmful Effects of The Virus(es)(as seen in virus and Main Page 22) */ - Nver mind, it messed everything up, cause I suck so bad. Reverted my own messed-up edit.

[[Image:sbemail118.png|left|thumb|Edgarware Scan Results]]
[[Image:main22.PNG|right|thumb|The Virus(es) in action]]
A ravenous computer virus that infected the [[Compy 386]]. [[Edgarware]] was not a match for it, as it split into 423,827 viruses. That big number was too much for the Compy 386 to handle, because the viruses swarmed out and began infecting the Homestar universe and turned the computer into a physical manifastation of the original that looked like the Compy 386. However, it was no match for [[Bubs]] and his [[Bubs' shotgun|shotgun]], which destroyed the viruses and the Compy 386.
One virus survived and is multipling, as seen in [[Main Page 22]].
But, it(they) [[Fourth Wall Breaks|opened the minds]] of the characters.

==Harmful Effects of The Virus(es)(as seen in [[virus]] and [[Main Page 22]])==
*It(they) made the [[Compy 386]] stop Strong Bad from [[DELETED|deleting]] the virus email.
*It(they) caused the Compy 386's screen to turn into liquid, and thus it "peed the carpet"
*It(they) revealed the underlying gridwork of the table, causing it to look like it ate the floppy disk container, in reality it(they) took it.
*It(they) turned the "No Loafing!" sign into HTML code.
*It(they) caused [[Strong Sad]]'s head to float about a foot left of where it should be. It(they) also turned his head into emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]], complete with description. Eventually it(they) turned him into a trading card and made it fly up to the top of the screen.
*It(they) made the tippy top of a main page creep in to the top of the computer room, turning the "Go on And see What's New!" into "Stave it off, 123" from [[for kids]], glitching up the quote of the week(caused the box to turn backwards, bounce around the screen till it got lodged at the top, and replace "Get it" with "Don't TAPE it!", also, clicking on "Hear it" caused a broom from [[Peasant's Quest]] to scroll across the screen and emit the glitchy noise that [[Marzipan]] would have), Weekly Fanstuff(it became an upside down picture of [[Coach Z]] with his arms wrapped around a white space that looks like [[King of Town]]'s head, with the description of "Stick to your Books" in the font "MS Font Specialty", and misspelled the Close button. Scrolling over it caused the words "A BOOK" to appear in green.), and the Sketchbook(it was simply a flash color mixer. Scrolling over it caused a green X to appear).
*It(they) seperated the computer room from most of the site, making [[Strong Bad]] fall out of the room and into the black. He tried to get back in, but The Virus(es) merely moved the room to the left.
*It(they) caused Homestar's body to be replaced with 1936 Homestar's, and it(they) made him to glide across the screen instead of walking, causing ghost images of himself. It(they) also made his head fall off.
*It(they) allowed Homestar to pick up the words from the bottom menu.
*It(they) spawned several pop-ups of old-school Homestar saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!"
*It(they) turned [[Marzipan]] into an ASCII picture of herself, and caused her to talk really deep and slow.
*It(they) shoved [[Strong Mad]] into his "M" and caused his old Character description to appear at the top of his "M" prison. It(they) also gave him [[Homsar]]'s walking sound.
*It(they) teleported the [[King of Town]] into [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue π.
*It(they) captured [[The Poopsmith]].
*It(they) allowed [[The Ugly One]] to not talk in word balloons, and it(they) made her mouth huge and disproportioned. It(they) also made her to slap the KoT a'la what [[Powered by The Cheat]] Strong Bad did to [[Powered by The Cheat]] Homestar in [[crazy cartoon]].

The Virus

Homestar Runnar — Sat, 05 Feb 2005 05:05:22 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Harmful Effects of The Virus(es)(as seen in virus and Main Page 22) */

[[Image:sbemail118.png|left|thumb|Edgarware Scan Results]]
[[Image:main22.PNG|right|thumb|The Virus(es) in action]]
A ravenous computer virus that infected the [[Compy 386]]. [[Edgarware]] was not a match for it, as it split into 423,827 viruses. That big number was too much for the Compy 386 to handle, because the viruses swarmed out and began infecting the Homestar universe and turned the computer into a physical manifastation of the original that looked like the Compy 386. However, it was no match for [[Bubs]] and his [[Bubs' shotgun|shotgun]], which destroyed the viruses and the Compy 386.
One virus survived and is multipling, as seen in [[Main Page 22]].
But, it(they) [[Fourth Wall Breaks|opened the minds]] of the characters.

==Harmful Effects of The Virus(es)(as seen in [[virus]] and [[Main Page 22]])==
*It(they) made the [[Compy 386]] stop Strong Bad from [[DELETED|deleting]] the virus email.
*It(they) caused the Compy 386's screen to turn into liquid, and thus it "peed the carpet"
*It(they) revealed the underlying gridwork of the table, causing it to look like it ate the floppy disk container, in reality it(they) took it.
*It(they) turned the "No Loafing!" sign into HTML code.
*It(they) caused [[Strong Sad]]'s head to float about a foot left of where it should be. It(they) also turned his head into emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]], complete with description. Eventually it(they) turned him into a trading card and made it fly up to the top of the screen.
*It(they) made the tippy top of a main page creep in to the top of the computer room, turning the "Go on And see What's New!" into "Stave it off, 123" from [[for kids]], glitching up the quote of the week(caused the box to turn backwards, bounce around the screen till it got lodged at the top, and replace "Get it" with "Don't TAPE it!", also, clicking on "Hear it" caused a broom from [[Peasant's Quest]] to scroll across the screen and emit the glitchy noise that [[Marzipan]] would have), Weekly Fanstuff(it became an upside down picture of [[Coach Z]] with his arms wrapped around a white space that looks like [[King of Town]]'s head, with the description of "Stick to your Books" in the font "MS Font Specialty", and misspelled the Close button. Scrolling over it caused the words "A BOOK" to appear in green.), and the Sketchbook(it was simply a flash color mixer. Scrolling over it caused a green X to appear).
*It(they) seperated the computer room from most of the site, making [[Strong Bad]] fall out of the room and into the black. He tried to get back in, but The Virus(es) merely moved the room to the left.
*It(they) caused Homestar's body to be replaced with 1936 Homestar's, and it(they) made him to glide across the screen instead of walking, causing ghost images of himself. It(they) also made his head fall off.
*It(they) allowed Homestar to pick up the words from the bottom menu.
*It(they) spawned several pop-ups of old-school Homestar saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!"
*It(they) turned [[Marzipan]] into an ASCII picture of herself, and caused her to talk really deep and slow.
*It(they) shoved [[Strong Mad]] into his "M" and caused his old Character description to appear at the top of his "M" prison. It(they) also gave him [[Homsar]]'s walking sound.
*It(they) teleported the [[King of Town]] into [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue π.
*It(they) captured [[The Poopsmith]].
*It(they) allowed [[The Ugly One]] to not talk in word balloons, and it(they) made her mouth huge and disproportioned. It(they) also made her to slap the KoT a'la what [[Powered by The Cheat]] Strong Bad did to [[Powered by The Cheat]] Homestar in [[crazy cartoon]].
*It(they) split the H*R Loading screen to reveal the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message from old computers.
*A number of things happened to [[Bubs]]: his face became a broken jpeg, his arms were stuck in perpetual motion (like in [[Dancin' Bubs]] ), there was no body where his belt was, and his legs were like in a 3D movie.
*It(they) turned [[The Field]] into a glitchy cloud place, where a number of things happened: [[Strong Bad]] became extremely glitchy and disproportioned, and his left arm flew around the screen, while saying "With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition!" from [[The Reddest Radish]], while [[The Cheat]] rotated through several versions of himself and floated around the screen randomly, and a pitch black [[Rather Dashing]] and a colon flew across the screen repeatedly.
*It(they) caused the [[Museum]] logo to fall and crush several links.
*It(they) caused a fraction of the screen to become a scene from the credits of [[Peasant's Quest]].
*It(they) caused Strong Bad's computer to rotate through several computers.
*It(they) messed up the fonts of various menu buttons
*It(they) caused the "downloads" and "email" buttons to look like the old versions
*It(they) caused Homestar's voice to be distorted when saying "Characters"
*It(they) caused tons of [Biscuit Dough Hands Man] popups to appear, each saying "Fhqwhgads" in the Robot's voice.
*It(they) caused [Cory]'s portait to warp from 1937 to the present.
*It(they) caused the plate of food from [Main Page 5] to appear, along with the man who says "quarter-cheese-plate-scattered-smothered-covered."
*It(they) caused Edgarware to launch, then superimposed Powered by the Cheat Bubs ontop of Egar, and making him say "Some of my Buses!"
*It(they) caused the "store" button to increase in length 21 times, then stretch back.
*It(they) made Homestar say "Alwight!" and made his head float off to the right, into the black.
*It(they) caused Strong Bad to become disproportioned and have Marzipan's ponytail, and caused him to say "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts" in his old voice, on left "black."
*It(they) caused a [Duck Guardian] Duck to blow up in front of Strong Bad's mouth, and on the right side of the Black, caused HTML to appear.

Homestar Runnar — Mon, 27 Dec 2004 17:24:34 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Commentary Transcript */ - Fixed a mistake where Mike's name was itallic instead of bold, and read " 'Mike"

[[Image:sbemail66.PNG|thumb|Welcome to The Show!]]

'''Strong Bad Email #66'''

Tori from Virginia and Texas wants to know why Homestar isn't funny anymore. Strong Sad has chicken pox.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Marshie]], [[The Cheat]] (easter egg), [[Strong Sad]] (easter egg)'''

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Email, women, email, girls! Email, women, email, girls!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

My friends and I are at a volleyball
tounament and we were wondering how
come homestar never does anything
funny anymore?

your friend,
Tori From VA, TX</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads "tounament" as spelled, and "VA, TX" as "Virginia, and Texas. Respectively."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anymore Tori? I wasn't aware that guy did anything funny. Ever. But if you want to see Homestar so bad, why don't we check out what he's doing right now. We'll see how it measures up to say, me kicking the cheat into Strong Sad with the chicken pox.

''{The screen cuts into static, then goes to Homestar hosting his very own "The Show". With him are Pom Pom and The Poopsmith.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But it turned out I didn't die. ''{canned laughter}'' So, once again, I'd like to welcome the Poopsmith and Pom Pom onto the show. Gentlemen: hands on buzzers. ''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith glance at each other; there are no buzzers}'' The Poopsmith, for 500 points: Would you care to share with us some of your polictical ''[sic]'' views? ''{The Poopsmith brings out a sign that says "Hey, um, I'm gonna go now." He walks off.}'' And Pom Pom, for the block. Do you agree? ''{Pom Pom bubbles and bounces off. Canned applause.}'' All right, that's 162 points for each of you. We'll be right back with round two after these important words from these important messages.

''{A little ditty is played and a title screen is shown saying "We'll be right back." Cut to a pink screen with faded concentric circles emanating from the centre. Marshie is present.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hey guys ''{pronounced 'juys'}''! You'd best be eating a whole mess of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows! ''{Cut to a green screen where a black-and-white man is seen reading a book called "Stuffed in Each Cheek"}'' You won't think twice with a couple of them stuffed in each cheek! ''{Somebody says "boing" and the man looks shocked. Cut back to Marshie}'' They make my mornings ''{the words "SHIVER WITH FLAVOR" appear at the bottom left}'' shiver with flavor, ''{Marshie comes close-up to the screen and the words appear in front of him ''shiver with flavor''! ''{the screen reverts to Marshie alone}'' I'll say it twice! ''{cut to a mountain range, above which Marshie is seen in the sky}'' This is gettin' great" ''{"great" is reverbed. Another, larger Marshie comes across horizontally from the left, leaving a trail of pink behind him. This forms the original pink background}'' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows! ''{Marshie appears in the middle of the screen and the words "THE FIRST ONE TO EAT A MILLION, WINS." appear on the bottom}'' "The first one to eat a million, wins."

''{Back to the show}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Alright. Welcome back to the show. ''{he pronounces it "shaow"}'' And now, I choose to recite a list. ''{pulls out some cue cards}'' Ahem. ''{words appear on screen as Homestar reads them}'' "tetherball". "Olympic race". "sparkling". "Tim Duncan". "Wisconsin". "a book of matches". "next week". "a lot of money". "witch's brew"---

''{static cuts back to Strong Bad at his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{typing}'' Problematic. You know it's been awhile since I've kicked the Cheat, but I guarantee it'd be comedic gold compared to that mish-mash. And what's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for. I can't understand a word that guy says. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways, Tori, lemme know how the volleyball tounament turns out. Touns out. Learn to spell.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*When you see Homestar with his cue cards, you can click on them to see what they actually say.
**They say:
***Pom Pom-Round yellow one
***Poopsmith-Smelly one
***Homestar-You
*At the very end you can click on the words "kicked the cheat" to see The Cheat and Strong Sad waiting for Strong Bad.
:''{The Cheat is standing next to Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad is laying in it, and it looks like he has a case of the chicken pox}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning The Cheat noises}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know where he is. I figured it was a sure thing too.

== Fun Facts ==
*[[Main Page 19]] was made after this e-mail.
*When Strong Bad says "What's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for?", he's referring to [[Marshie]], the flying marshmallow who appeared in an advertisement during Homestar's show.
*Near the end, when Homestar is reciting a list of words, he says "[[Witches' Brew]]." (Even though it is misspelled as "Witch's Brew.") This is just one of many times Homestar has mentioned witches' brew.
*When Homestar says "Pom Pom, for the block," it's a reference to the game show "Hollywood Squares".
*Homestar's microphone looks just like Bob Barker's from "The Price is Right"
*Strong Bad actually makes a grammar mistake in his email. He doesn't put a question mark after "What's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for." He also fails to capitalize The Cheat's name in his reply, since the word ''The'' is part of his name.
*If you were to eat 100 Fluffy-Puff Marshmallows every day, it would still take you more than 27 years to "win".
*The word "Problematic" appears in the CD version of "Everybody to the Limit", and this may be referring to this email.
*The table has been either replaced or expertly repaired (no cracks or seams are evident, even though it was broken in half in the [[unused emails|previous email]]).
*When Homestar says "162 points for each of you," he may be referring to the popular comedy show "Whose Line is it Anyway?" in which the four guys are awarded points that really don't matter, and one of them is a fake winner at the end.

== DVD Version ==
*The card easter egg is still viewable by using your DVD player's angle button
*The DVD version features hidden commentary by Mike and Homestar. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Mike Chapman]], Homestar Runner

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Here's the commentary for the show email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I'm joined by none other than Homestar himself, the host of the show.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Call me Greg this time.

'''MIKE:''' Greg, uh, so tell us a little bit about yourself, Greg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Well, I'm, uh, uh, a vitamin, I lose weight, and I'm on the plank!

'''MIKE:''' Homestar here making a little less sense than usual.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I know. It's all for the DVD.

'''MIKE:''' DVD.

'''HOMESTAR:''' DVDs. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, here comes your big scene.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, why are you so, where did this show come from?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, why don't you tell us?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't... Honestly, the first time I saw this, I was flabbergasted.

'''MIKE:''' You don't, you don't remember taking part in anything like this?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I mean, I kinda do... But like, so do I have a show? In the 70s?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I don't know if it was in the 70s.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Is it a chat show, or game show?

'''MIKE:''' It looks like it's kinda maybe a little of both, but a little of neither?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah! That's the way my best shows are... right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' So why wouldn't it be that? A little bit of a chat show, maybe with a Charles Nelson Wiley...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I love my microphone. If a microphone's not tall and skinny, it's not a microphone.

'''MIKE:''' I agree.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! Who's that guy with the arms? ''{referring to the character on the "We'll Be Right Back" card}''

'''MIKE:''' He has arms.'''

''{MARSHIE appears on the screen to begin the Fluffy Puff commercial.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh no!

'''MIKE:''' It's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I love this one!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I thought you might be scared.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look out! Look out, stuffed in each-- Oh no! He got it, Mike! ''{pause}'' Marshie's on point on this one. He's at the top of his game.

'''MIKE:''' Marshie's... never at the top of his game.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, clearly here. Listen, listen, listen!

''{MARSHIE's commercial finishes, and he winks producing a unique sound effect.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' How does he do that?

'''MIKE:''' He winked.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I know! If I could make my eye make that sound, I'd be like, winking all the time! They'd call me Wink Martindale.

''{Slight pause. SBEMAIL HOMESTAR reads the "Olympic race" card.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Speaking of Olympic race... ''{Pause}'' This is my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' What is this list of?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Is there a common thread--

'''HOMESTAR:''' It's like, the Rosetta Stone. If you can figure out this list then you've got the secret to Homestar Runner.

''{Pause. The Strong Bad Email cuts back to STRONG BAD at the Compy.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Homester.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. How much longer do we have on this commentary, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' You don't think this is very funny, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do you think we should start over?

'''MIKE:''' No, we can leave it, but... I just hope it's over soon.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I think it sounds like Strong Bad's winding down.

'''MIKE:''' Allright.

'''HOMESTAR:''' See, he's mumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's the end. You know it's the end.

''{The Paper comes down.}''

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Geez!

Homestar Runnar: /* Fun Facts */ -Argh. Another typo in my fun fact.

[[Image:sbemail91.png|thumb|A janking in progress]]

'''Strong Bad Email #91'''

Strong Bad answers an email from Justin in Murfreesboro, TN. Justin asks why Strong Bad has never given any caffeine to his whiny brother, [[Strong Sad]]. Strong Bad has been looking for a project for the upcoming All-Wide Science Fair, so he decides to try Justin's suggestion. Hilarity ensues.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Coach Z]], [[Homestar Runner]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' And coming in at number 91, it's: E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
It must be really annoying living
with someone as whiny as Strong Sad.
Why don't you slip him some caffeine?

Justin
Murfreesburo, TN</pre>

''{Strong Bad says "Tekken" instead of "TN"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ohhhhhhh. ''(devilish laugh)''

''{Strong Bad clears the screen and types again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Justin, In addition to the cut of your jib, I likes the sound of your town. Murfreesboro. But we got the All-Wide Science Fair just around the corner and I've been straining for a project. So far alls I've come up with is the effects of gasoline. ''{pauses a bit}'' On fire. ''{stops typing}''

''{cut to a blue-print-style background that displays what Strong Bad says as he says it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, I figure I just drop a couple of heaping spoonfuls of Sanka into Strong Sad's orange juice, and collect the ensuing data. I'll definitely get first place. And who knows? I might even win me a Noble Peacie Prize!

''{Cut to view of Strong Bad and Strong Sad in the basement. Strong Bad is holding a legal pad, which he makes periodic notes in. One of Strong Sad's eyes is open unnaturally wide, and he holds his hands high above his head. His fingers twitch from time to time.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So Strong Sad, tell me, how do you feel?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking very quickly and clapping his hands together over his head}'' I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! ''{turns into old self}'' I feel bad... ''{turns back into hyper Strong Sad}'' I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! I can't remember my legs!

''{Cut to Strong Sad following an annoyed The Cheat on hands and knees. Strong Bad is in the background, watching and taking notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey The Cheat! Listen Up! Hodododododo! What did I say? What did I just say? Did I say anything? What about this one: hoo hee haw whadiawah! Did that mean anything? ''{Strong Bad voice-over begins}'' Did I offend you? I hope I didn't offend you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' After being exposed to my control Cheat, subject started acting ''way'' creepier than normal... like, even for Strong Sad.

''{cut to Marzipan's house, where she is trying to paint with Strong Sad next to her. We see Strong Bad in the foreground making more observations and taking more notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Marzeepan, Marzeepan! What do you wanna make? You wanna make some [[wood-davers]] with me? I got pine cones! I got peanut butter! I got everything we need! I said pine cones! pine cones! Gonna be successful! Gonna be phenomenally successful! Sell 'em at the corner store! Sell 'em at the five and dime! Marzipan, you gotta get on the train, get on the wood-davers train! Here goes the wood-davers train! It's takin' off! It's a new century!

''{Strong Sad continues to ramble on as Marzipan walks away and Strong Bad continues}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The subject's condition continued to deteriorate, and he began making up arts and crafts activities. Like, wood-davers.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is sitting on the couch, and Strong Sad is hanging upside-down from the ceiling}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' No!

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' No no! ...Parakeet!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{in disbelief}'' Did you just say Parakeet?

''{cut to a field with Strong Sad and Coach Z. Strong Sad alternates bouncing on his left and right legs. Strong Bad is in the background making notes and observations again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the final stages, subject became: ''{the following words come up on the screen as Strong Bad says them}'' Erratic, violent, and Really Funny to Watch.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{slapping Coach Z in the head}'' Hey Coach Z! Hey Coach Z! What-a-ya-got? What-a-ya-got for me? How about that? Wanna play some soccer? ''{while Coach Z is speaking}'' Some hockeyjock? I got whatever it takes! Hey, ya want some salad? Pasta salad? Tuna salad? Fruit salad?

'''COACH Z:''' Woo! Cut that out! Don't hurt me! I don't wanna die! I'm just an old man-- ''{Strong Sad steals Coach Z's hat after it falls to the ground}'' Ooh! Ooh!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! ''{slowing down}'' salad... ...salad as a rock... um... Coach Z, what are we doin' here?

'''COACH Z:''' You was tryin' to jank me!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Feelin' woozy...

''{Strong Sad falls on his back. Coach Z's hat lands on his stomach. Cut to the All-Wide Science Fair auditorium stage, where a picture of Strong Sad on his back is shown on Strong Bad's easel under the caption "Results:"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At this point, the test subject... was dead. ''{gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I was not dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Shut up. And all of this data could only bring us to one conclusion: ...Strong Sad's adopted. ''{another gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That's not true either!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down as a close up of Strong Bad's project is shown}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of the e-mail, click on the various pictures on the right side of Strong Bad's science project board to see some really cool cars.
*Click on the folder full of papers on the left side to see Strong Bad's, erm, original project.
*After you've checked out those, roll your mouse on the right side of the screen to find an arrow. If you click the arrow, you'll see Homestar Runner's project.
*Click on the nasty melted puddle and you'll see (and probably hear) [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] explain his project.
:'''HOMESTAR''': For my experiment, I opted to use more social studies... a-than science.
:'''CROWD''': Ah, I see! Impressive! (miscellaneous chatter)

== Fun Facts ==
*Ironically, Sanka is decaffeinated coffee.
*When reading 'TN' Strong Bad says 'Tekken' instead of 'Tennessee'. Tekken is a popular fighting video game by NAMCO.
*Strong Bad says "coming in at 91" at the beginning of the email. In the email [[flashback]], he says he lost count of his emails somewhere around #51.
*Marzipan must have mixed some of her colors to come up with some of the ones in her picture.
*With the exception of the Halloween toons, this is the first time [[Coach Z]] is seen without his hat on.
*The "Shark-mobile" may be a reference to the video game [[Wikipedia:Wario Ware|Wario Ware]].
*Strong Sad is moving so erratically that it looks like he has two mouths after Marzipan walks away.
*Two versions of this were put up on the site. The first, which can be viewed on a mirror [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail91.html here] has Coach Z saying "I'm just a crazy old man!" while being slapped. However, [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail91.html the version currently on the site] has him saying "I'm just an old man!" The reason for this change is unkown.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter Eggs are intact, but have been condensed down into 2 Easter Eggs.
**The first DVD Easter Egg (found via the hidden Strong Bad Icon to the left of the Project Title) features a peek at what Strong Bad's original product was, closeups of all three of the "cool cars," AND a closeup of the paper in the folder. Plus, the fire from the original project burns a corner off The Paper.
**The second DVD Easter Egg (found via the hidden Strong Bad Icon to the right of the Project Title) combines Homestar's Project and his comments on it.

''{cut to Marzipan's house, where she is trying to paint with Strong Sad next to her. We see Strong Bad in the foreground making more observations and taking more notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Marzeepan, Marzeepan! What do you wanna make? You wanna make some [[wood-davers]] with me? I got pine cones! I got peanut butter! I got everything we need! I said pine cones! pine cones! Gonna be successful! Gonna be phenomenally successful! Sell 'em at the corner store! Sell 'em at the five and dime! Marzipan, you gotta get on the train, get on the wood-davers train! Here goes the wood-davers train! It's takin' off! It's a new century!

''{Strong Sad continues to ramble on as Marzipan walks away and Strong Bad continues}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The subject's condition continued to deteriorate, and he began making up arts and crafts activities. Like, wood-davers.

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is sitting on the couch, and Strong Sad is hanging upside-down from the ceiling}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' No!

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' No no! ...Parakeet!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{in disbelief}'' Did you just say Parakeet?

''{cut to a field with Strong Sad and Coach Z. Strong Sad alternates bouncing on his left and right legs. Strong Bad is in the background making notes and observations again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the final stages, subject became: ''{the following words come up on the screen as Strong Bad says them}'' Erratic, violent, and Really Funny to Watch.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{slapping Coach Z in the head}'' Hey Coach Z! Hey Coach Z! What-a-ya-got? What-a-ya-got for me? How about that? Wanna play some soccer? ''{while Coach Z is speaking}'' Some hockeyjock? I got whatever it takes! Hey, ya want some salad? Pasta salad? Tuna salad? Fruit salad?

'''COACH Z:''' Woo! Cut that out! Don't hurt me! I don't wanna die! I'm just an old man-- ''{Strong Sad steals Coach Z's hat after it falls to the ground}'' Ooh! Ooh!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! ''{slowing down}'' salad... ...salad as a rock... um... Coach Z, what are we doin' here?

'''COACH Z:''' You was tryin' to jank me!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Feelin' woozy...

''{Strong Sad falls on his back. Coach Z's hat lands on his stomach. Cut to the All-Wide Science Fair auditorium stage, where a picture of Strong Sad on his back is shown on Strong Bad's easel under the caption "Results:"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At this point, the test subject... was dead. ''{gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I was not dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Shut up. And all of this data could only bring us to one conclusion: ...Strong Sad's adopted. ''{another gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That's not true either!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down as a close up of Strong Bad's project is shown}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of the e-mail, click on the various pictures on the right side of Strong Bad's science project board to see some really cool cars.
*Click on the folder full of papers on the left side to see Strong Bad's, erm, original project.
*After you've checked out those, roll your mouse on the right side of the screen to find an arrow. If you click the arrow, you'll see Homestar Runner's project.
*Click on the nasty melted puddle and you'll see (and probably hear) [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] explain his project.
:'''HOMESTAR''': For my experiment, I opted to use more social studies... a-than science.
:'''CROWD''': Ah, I see! Impressive! (miscellaneous chatter)

== Fun Facts ==
*Ironically, Sanka is decaffeinated coffee.
*When reading 'TN' Strong Bad says 'Tekken' instead of 'Tennessee'. Tekken is a popular fighting video game by NAMCO.
*Strong Bad says "coming in at 91" at the beginning of the email. In the email [[flashback]], he says he lost count of his emails somewhere around #51.
*Marzipan must have mixed some of her colors to come up with some of the ones in her picture.
*With the exception of the Halloween toons, this is the first time [[Coach Z]] is seen without his hat on.
*The "Shark-mobile" may be a reference to the video game [[Wikipedia:Wario Ware|Wario Ware]].
*Strong Sad is moving so erratically that it looks like he has two mouths after Marzipan walks away.
*Two versions of this were put up on the site. The first, which can be viewed on a mirror [[http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail91.html here]] has Coach Z saying "I'm just a crazy old man!" while being slapped. However, [[http://www.homestarrunnner.com/sbemail91.html the version currently on the site]] has him saying "I'm just an old man!" The reason for this change is unkown.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter Eggs are intact, but have been condensed down into 2 Easter Eggs.
**The first DVD Easter Egg (found via the hidden Strong Bad Icon to the left of the Project Title) features a peek at what Strong Bad's original product was, closeups of all three of the "cool cars," AND a closeup of the paper in the folder. Plus, the fire from the original project burns a corner off The Paper.
**The second DVD Easter Egg (found via the hidden Strong Bad Icon to the right of the Project Title) combines Homestar's Project and his comments on it.

Peasant's Quest Walkthrough

Homestar Runnar — Fri, 10 Dec 2004 02:24:50 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Get Your Revenge on Trogdor (maybe) */ - duh, we know there's no way to beat Trogdor.

Here is the complete walkthrough for the game [[Peasant's Quest]].

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:peasantmap.png]]

''(These numbers correspond to the steps outlined in the walkthrough below.)''

'''Key:'''
*STINK Like A Peasant — ''Blue Dots''
*DRESS Like A Peasant — ''Gold Dots''
*Get ON FIRE Like A Peasant — ''Green Dots''
*Get Your Revenge On Trogdor (maybe) — ''Red Dots''

== The Beginning ==
Before you do anything, you'll want to talk to the knight. He'll explain the whole quest to you, and give you a few tips on what you're allowed to do. He'll tell you that before you can go up the mountain to challenge Trogdor, you need to STINK like a peasant, DRESS like a peasant, and be ON FIRE like a peasant.

'''General note''': In the true style of the old Sierra games, if you find things too slow, you can bump up the speed by pushing shift + a few times, and slow it back down by pushing -.

== STINK Like a Peasant ==
This quest corresponds with the blue dots on the map above.
#It's useful (though not worth any points) to get the map. This is back at your cottage, which can be reached by going W, S, W, W. Walk into your burninated cottage and type 'look cottage'. You'll discover that there's one piece of unburninated paper. Type 'get paper' to have Dashing tuck it into his pocket. Dashing uses the paper to record where you've been. You can now access the map at any time simply by typing 'map'.
#Go E and walk to the shore. Type 'get pebbles' to pick up the small rocks. They'll be useful for step #3.
#Go S (be careful of the Kerrek!) and S to get to the well, or just go north twice. Walk up to it and type 'turn crank'. You'll be told that the crank won't budge. 'put pebbles in bucket' in order to make the bucket descend from the weight. 'turn crank' to get the bucket back up, which should get you a monster maskus.
#Go S again, walk in front of the counter, and type 'talk man' to learn of the archery teacher's plight, and the secret word, 'haldo', you should say to his brother if you ever meet him.
#Go W, N, W to get to the horse. Stand in front of him and 'wear mask'. You can now go through the fence to the west.
#Here you'll find the archer's brother. Say 'haldo' and he'll leave. Walk up to the tree and type 'get arrow'.
#Go E, N, E, E, E to get to the house surrounded by bushes. Type 'open door' to go into the hut and type 'talk' to talk to the lady. She'll inform you that the Jhonka has taken her riches, and that she'll give you something special if you get them back for her. Remember that for later. She'll also tell you her baby lost something outside, and if you find it, it's yours. Before you leave, walk over to the shelves and type 'get chicken feed'. When you get outside, walk up to each of the berry bushes and type 'get berries'. At the fourth tree (no matter which order you do them in), you should get the super trinket.
#Go back to the archery counter by going W, N, N. Walk up to the archery counter and 'talk'. Then 'give trinket' to be able to play the archery game. Type 'play' in order to shoot. This is most likely the trickiest part of the game: you have to aim your bow according to the wind direction indicated by the flag on the right. Try to line up the tip of your arrow with the furthest right or left pixel of the target's leg in strong winds (flag moving due left or right), one pixel inside of the formost part of the leg during mild winds (flag diagonal), and directly at the bullseye when the air is still (flag down). To shoot, press space, and then press space again when the indicator reaches the red line. When the second indicator reaches the red line, press space a third time and you should get a bullseye. Get three bullseyes to win the SuperTime FunBow TM. You can now kill Kerrek.
#Go S, S to get to him (if he's not there, walk off and back on the screen a few times) and type 'shoot kerrek'. It will now start raining. Walk up to his body and type 'get belt'. Congratulations, you now STINK like a peasant!

== DRESS Like a Peasant ==
This quest corresponds with the gold dots on the map above.
#To start this quest, you'll need to get the loot back for the peasant woman. To do so, walk N, N, W to the mud puddle (which is now wet since it rained) and walk into the puddle to get covered with mud.
#Go W to get to the haystack, which you'll need to hide in to avoid getting killed by the Jhonka. Type 'hide' to jump into the pile of hay.
#Waddle S in your new costume, walk up to the pile of loot, and type 'get riches'. Your costume will blow away and the Jhonka will be very unhappy and ask you if you took his riches. Simply type 'no' and you're in the clear.
#Return to collect your prize by going S, E, E, E to the hut. 'open door' gets you inside again, and then 'give riches'. Here you'll find out that the woman is a complete fraud. The riches were probably the Jhonka's to begin with, but the lady runs out leaving you alone with her baby. You can use the baby to get four items.
#Go N and 'talk man' to find out about the fishing. He needs a different kind of bait, so go ahead and 'throw chicken feed' into the lake. The man will reel in a big catch, and return to work at the inn nearby.
#Go E and 'open door' to go into the inn. 'give baby' to the innkeeper to get the pills.
#Leave the inn and go W, W to the west side of the lake. Stand at the center near the left (the game is finicky about this, but try standing at the spot where the pebbles used to be) and 'throw baby' to get the soda.
#Then go N, N to the well and 'put baby in bucket' and 'turn crank' to get the meatball sub.
#N, W, W brings you to the mysterious hut without a doorknob, which belongs to Naked Ned by the wavy tree. Walk to the right of the hut and type 'move rock'. The hole's a little too small for you to fit through, but someone else shouldn't have any problems. Type 'deploy baby' to get the door open. Walk into the now opened hut and go over to the dresser. 'open drawer' reveals a peasant robe. Take it with 'get robe', put it on with 'wear robe', and then just because you're so neat and tidy, close the dresser with 'close drawer' to get an extra point. Congratulations, now you DRESS like a peasant!

== Get ON FIRE Like a Peasant ==
This quest corresponds with the green dots on the map above.
#Go E, E, E, E, N to return to the inn and type 'open door' to get inside. 'talk man' to learn how to spend the night, which he'll only let you do if you're wearing Naked Ned's robe. Type 'get a room'. You'll wake up 20 mins later, at which point you should walk over to the pantry and 'look pantry' to learn that the innkeeper seems to like a little something called "Old Man Rub" *ick*. You'll need the pot on the top shelf. Type 'get pot' or 'get grease' in order to reach up and grab it. With your nouveau headwear, you have to navigate your way out of the inn, which can be a little annoying. Just keep trying arrow keys until you're moving towards the door.
#Go S and walk near the lantern. Congratulations, you're now ON FIRE and a true, honest to goodness peasant!

== Get Your Revenge on Trogdor (maybe) ==
This quest corresponds with the red dots on the map above.
#You can now go up to Trogdor's lair. Walk N, N to get to the guard and type 'talk man' to get him to move. Walk E to get to the cliff, save your game, go up to the cliff, and type 'climb' to get into an incredibly annoying Sierra-esque boulder and bird dodge-fest. The ledges and branches on the cliff do nothing, so don't bother with them. You'll have to go up three screens to get to the top.
#You are now in Trogdor's lair. Save your game again. Walk into the cave and start heading E until you're accosted by the first keeper. You'll have to answer three questions about the game in order to make it to Trogdor. Alternatively, you can 'give sub', 'give soda', and 'give pills' to skip the questions (eithero of these option gives you the same number of points). The answers to the questions are (there may be more questions than these): "Haldo", "SuperTime FunBow TM", "Old Man Rub", "Orange", "5", "Naked Ned", "C", "Northeast to Southwest", "The Kerrek".
#Go E to meet your doom. Don't walk too close to Trogdor. All you have to do is type 'use sword' to attack the beast. Now you've gotten his attention and must deal with his majesty. Type 'talk trogdor' to face the burninator, thus completing the game.

'''Final score''': ''150 out of 150.''

Homestar Runnar: Reverted from troll 203.227.166.74

[[Image:sbemail5.PNG|thumb|Strong Bad IS The Love Doctor]]

'''Strong Bad Email #5'''

Someone asks Strong Bad how to have her boyfriend make out with her.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Reading emails is like the best thing I do. ''{stops singing}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad..,
Do you like making out? Because my boyfriend
won't... mostly because he's jealous of you.
I've tried the whole Peter Frampton thang,
but nothing seems to work out. Please help
me Strong Bad...
Kissless in Santa Rosa</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Kissless, you're going about it all wrong. Frampton's not going to loosen anybody's lips. If you really want to make out with this guy, you need to go straight to the master of make out rock himself... ME! So here's what you do: Wait til he comes home, then light a few candles and maybe have a glass of wine. And then put on my hit single "You're Really Ugly (But There's Nobody Cute Around)." ''{stops typing}'' And I'll tell you what, ''{resumes}'' he'll be all over you like the King of Town on a Chinese Buffet, man. ''{stops typing}'' Alright, so until next time send me more questions. SEND ME MORE QUESTIONS!!!

''{[[The Paper]] falls, reading, "Click here to e-mail strong bad".}''

== Fun Facts ==
*Instead of Tandy 400!!!! as the page header, it is Frampton's Camel.
**Frampton's Camel was Peter Frampton's backing band for several years, and also the name of one of his albums, so it makes sense for this to have been included as a page title.
*The pseudonym the emailer adopts is similar to the pseudonyms given to those who write to Ann Landers or Dear Abby.
**This may also be a reference to the movie [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0108160/ Sleepless in Seattle].
*The SEND ME MORE QUESTIONS!!! was used again by Mr. Schmallow with his "Look Lively" saying.

Homestar Runnar — Mon, 29 Nov 2004 05:16:11 GMT

Homestar Runnar: A question about joining the forum

Have a question? Post it here and we will try to answer it as soon as possible. (Possibly a matter of minutes.)

== Percent ==

When searching a certain user, what does the 100%, or 92% or any other number mean? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

(I'd like that answer too) ^ [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 08:52, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

:It's how close a match MediaWiki thinks the page is to your search term.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:15, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Wiki Troll ==

This is probably answered somewhere else, but I have to go out for the day, and I'm leaving in 5 minutes, so I'm just gonna ask and leave it with you. 142.177.97.77 added [[Little Girl]] to the reject characters page, with the whole page simply 'bum hole'. Does this constitute a Wiki Troll? If it does, what steps do I take to insure that this Troller of Wikis is brought to justice? Is there any sort of general system of protocols?

:The instructions for dealing with WikiTrolls can be found on the [[WikiTroll]] page. And I dealt with the situation. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:15, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Category Redirect not working? ==

I moved the content from the "[[Inside Jokes]]" to the [[:Category:Inside Jokes|category]] of the same name. (First I made sure all the inside jokes had references to this category.) Then I tried to redirect "Inside Jokes" to the category, but it's not redirecting! Am I a bad boy? -- [[User:spblat|spblat]] 18:18, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Not so much. I'm not really sure the software will allow a redirect to a category, but its kind of a moot point in this situation. As noted correctly by [[User:The Paper]], content should be on a main namespace page, not a category namespace page. I do understand where you are coming from though. Several of the pages in [[:Category:Lists]] seem like they would be good candidates for just category pages. This is partly because of the way in which we use catagories around here and partly because of the way we list things. In fact, we actually kind of do something with the [[:Category:Filmography|filmographies]] like what I think you tried to do. I'm not really sure what I just said will make any sense, but just know that content should be on good 'ol regular pages.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:10, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

Thanks. Response posted to [[Talk:Inside Jokes]]. Thanks! [[User:spblat|spblat]] 20:05, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Upload. ==

Oops. I apparently did something wrong when I tried to upload an image. Could an admin please delete it? I guess I'm just not cut out to upload images. How do you, anyways? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] [[User_Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:[[:Image:King Of Town Intro.png]]? I'm not really sure. Are you able to view the image on your computer okay? If so, then it's just a matter of knowing where on your computer it is located.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:20, 6 Nov 2004 (MST)

::No, I can't see it on my computer. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]-[[User_Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

== Banned ==

Just out of curiosity, when a IP Address is banned, what does the page look like if that address trys to get back in? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:Currently with MediaWiki, those on the [[Special:Ipblocklist|Ipblocklist]] are only prevented from editing pages. They can still view pages normally.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:31, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

:All you have to do is click the "[[Special:Userlogin|Create an account or log in]]" link at the top-right hand corner of the page. Enter in a username, enter a password into both password boxes and click the "Create new account" button. It's that easy! --[[User:Kilroy|[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]]] 11:17, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Joining the Forum ==

Can someone help me? I never got my confirmation email. I joined as "bottles98" with the email address strong_bad@homestarrunner.us a couple of weeks ago (yes, that's my real email address, my friend registered homestarrunner.us as a domain name and gave me a mail address at it.) I use Yahoo! Mail which may be the problem, is there anyway an admin could maybe auto-confirm my account or something? I'd really appriciate it.

invisibility

Homestar Runnar — Fri, 26 Nov 2004 16:10:33 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Transcript */ - No...he is indeed saying "you're an idiot."

[[Image:invisibility.PNG|thumb|The 386!]]

'''Strong Bad Email #41'''

[[Tandy 400]] is dead and gone. BEHOLD! Da [[Compy 386]]! A spectacle of graphics and sound! Meanwhile, Strong Bad discovers being invisible really isn't worth it.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' I'm hooome!

''{He walks to the Tandy 400 and sits in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's see here. Don't need this anymore.

''{Strong Bad removes the post-it on the screen that says "DORKS!" on it with an angry face with sharp teeth below.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And don't need THIS anymore.

''{Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the table and onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' For behold...

''{Strong Bad places a new computer on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The 386. A spectacle of graphics and sound! ''{A tune is played and the "386 Version 1.5" logo appears on the screen.}'' Okay, let's get to checking!

<pre>strong bad,

what would you do if you were
invisable for one day????

sin studly17</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well dumb name, this is something I've often thought about myself. And I came to the conclusion that... ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' I don't really think being visible prevents me from doing whatever I want to do. So I'd probably just do the kinda stuff I normally do.

''{Cut to an invisible Strong Bad stealing boxes of Swiss Cake Rolls from Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' You know, like, steal stuff...

''{Bubs turns around to find the Swiss Cake Rolls boxes floating away.}''

'''BUBS:''' My chocolates! Come back, chocolates! I didn't mean what I said...

''{Cut to Homestar Runner standing in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...punch stuff...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan is LATE.

''{The boxes of rolls float up to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey guys!

''{A punching noise is heard and Homestar doubles over. The boxes float off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oof! Owwwww... Those things are bad for you...

''{Cut to Invisible Strong Bad eating the Swiss Cake Rolls on his couch in front of the TV. Family Feud is on in here.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...eat stuff... and at the same time... like, watch stuff...

''{The "Family Feud" strike buzzer is heard from the TV.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' Hoo ha ha ha! Survey says, you're an idiot!

''{Strong Mad enters the room and walks in front of where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' Oh hey man. Look, I'm sitting here, I'm just invisible, okay? Hey! Brain-for-brains! I'm right here! The floating Swiss Cake Roll is talking to you! Hey, now what the...NONONONO...

''{Strong Mad gets angry and sits on the couch where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

''{Cut back to the computer with Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! ''{typing}'' Nevermind. Being invisible is not worth a face full of Strong Mad butt. ''{stops typing}'' Whoa! ''{resumes typing}'' I feel like I need to take a shower. I dunno when the last time he washed that singlet was. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways. Remember, kids! Take your vitamins, pretend you're hilarious, and always, ''always'', e-mail Strong Bad.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. The screen eventually fades out and cuts to the Tandy 400 sitting in a trash can}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of it, the screen will fade to the Tandy in the trash. You can click on the contrast buttons to see some funny last words.
**Why strong bad? why?
**Remember the duck pond?
**I thought we were a team.
**whatever, man. [[crying|I can make it on my own]]
**386? more like three eighty SUCKS!
**Tell the printer I'll miss her
**Yeah? well someone on eBay loves me.
**There's flies in me. it tickles
**My mind is going. I can feel it.
**Fine, I'm gonna start giving away secrets.
**Have you clicked on the 'O' in message bored?
**Justin Bailey ****** ******
**Oh jeez. I think this is really it.
**gasp.
**wheez.
**cough.
**''(blank screen)''
**end of line.

== Fun Facts ==

*The line "My mind is going. I can feel it." is a reference to the movie '''2001: A Space Odyssey'''.

*The line "Justin Bailey ****** ******" is a reference to the infamous suitless Samus cheat code in Metroid for the NES.

*One of the 'last words' is a hint to click on the 'O' in Message Bored. If you click on the O there it brings you to 3 hidden games.

*If you look at the Tandy's screen when its in the garbage, you'll notice that the crack in the glass isn't there.

*If you try to change the contrast on Tandy before Strong Bad's reflection appears, the reflection is not changed like in previous emails, instead, it looks like his reflection on Compy.

*The buzz sound from the TV and Strong Bad's quote "Survey Says... You're deleted!" are references to Family Feud.

*The line "End of line" is a reference to the sinister Master Control Program in Walt Disney's movie, '''Tron'''. MCP always ended conversations with his minions by saying "End of line." Incidentally, the "end of line" marker on teletype machines (or on DOS/Windows) is two characters, Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF). On UNIX or Linux it's just LF, and on a Mac it's just CR. Why two characters for the single concept "End of Line?" Teletype machines needed two characters worth of time to get the print head all the way back to the beginning of the next line; the designers split the command into two characters, CR to move to the left side of the page, LF to go down one line. ''And now you know.''

*When the Tandy 400 says "Tell the printer I'll miss her." it is confirmation that there is in fact a printer even though we haven't ever seen one.

*Strangely, when Strong Bad sits down at the tandy, we see his reflection but it blocks the little green lines on the screen. In real life this wouldn't happen, nor does it happen in any other email.

== DVD Version ==
*Unlike the email version, you have to click on a hidden Strong Bad head icon to access the Tandy 400's last words, as opposed to just waiting.
**As well, there are minor differences in the Egg. The egg is now a video, with sound effects of the flies buzzing, blips when the Tandy changes text, and inability to cycle through the text manually. When the Tandy says "My mind is going, I can feel it," it flashes on the screen a few times before switching over to the next block of text. As well, when "End of Line" appears, the text slowly fades away into nothingness.
*There is also a hidden creator's commentary for this email. To access it, just switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's coming back from vacation, Mike! This is the first break we really took after we'd started doing the Strong Bad Emails every week, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm. Couple weeks.

'''MATT:''' Where'd YOU go on your vacation?

'''MIKE:''' I went to Bald Head Island in North Carolina.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm. The beach.

'''MATT:''' I guess I went to Marco Island in Florida, I would assume. ''{pause}'' So, here comes the 386! Just-

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, new computer! Uh, he hasn't updated since then.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Should we do that?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe someday. I've thought about giving him a laptop named Lappy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That sounds pretty good.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe we'll do that someday.

'''MATT:''' The Lappy 486?

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' I like that song Bubs is singing to himself. I love how personified the Swiss Cake Rolls are.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, no one, no one seems to have a problem with the floating Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' Yeah

'''MIKE:''' It's like, so common.

'''MATT:''' Bubs had been in some kind of domestic dispute with them earlier. Homestar was... y'know, maybe going to meet them up at the club later. I like the, like, butt, the sweaty butt imprint that Strong Bad's leaving on the couch there. Here comes Graw Mad! Look out! He doesn't know what's going on! Uh-oh, Strong Bad! Ohhh, man.

'''MIKE:''' So did that really happen?

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' All of that stuff?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Oh

'''MATT:''' That was all, I think

'''MIKE:''' Like a dream sequence?

'''MATT:''' We draw- there's a fine line. Sometimes, it's really happening, and sometimes it's just hypothetical.

'''MIKE:''' I think that one was hypothetical.

'''MATT:''' I think we leave the best- the more grey we leave it, the better. Thanks everyone.

=== Fun Facts ===
*This commentary serves as very effective foreshadowing to the email [[virus]] (which had not been made at the time the commentary was recorded). Whether TBC will use "Lappy" or not is yet to be determined.
*Matt calling Strong Mad "Graw Mad" is probably a reference to [[the facts]] (though the email may not have been made at the time of the commentary recording)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, I'm not your friend, monkey dude. In fact, I'm not even gonna call you monkeydude ''{he types ****** instead of monkeydude}'' again. I'ma call you Josh. So, a kah-razy cartoon huh, Josh? Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like

''{Cut to a weird cartoon landscape, where a cartoon logo appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sweet Cuppin' Cakes! The main character would look like a mix between a cow and a helicopter.

''{Cowcopter flies in accompanied by helicopter noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And his talking would be just these weird sounds, and no words.

''{it makes some random sounds in a deep voice}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And all the episodes would be about him trying to get a little worm out of the ground.

''{A hole in the ground opens up and a worm peeks out. Cowcopter lands on top of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! Oh! And at least once an episode, Eh! Steve would show up to deliver his catchphrase!

''{Eh! Steve drops down from the top of the screen}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And Bubs would definitely be the voice of the wheelchair.

''{Eh! Steve runs off and a crappily-drawn wheelchair pulls up}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' I'll get you Eh! Steve, if it's the last thing I dooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd be in there too, but, my head would be an old keyboard, and when I get mad, it'd play the demo.

''{Strong Bad with a keyboard head starts dancing around while the demo plays. Cowcopter starts dancing along, and Eh! Steve runs past, being pursued by the wheelchair. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's a pretty crazy cartoon huh Josh? But I'm not much of an animator. Though I bet The Cheat makes some crazy cartoons. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Just right.

=== Powered by The Cheat ===

''{Cut to The Cheat on Tangerine Dreams working on an animation. Strong Bad comes up to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sup, my man? What're you workin' on today?

''{The Cheat makes noises, then starts up the animation. It is of very poor quality, in typical The Cheat style. POWERED BY THE CHEAT flashes on the screen. Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner out at the field.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad! I need to be kicked in the face.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can do it! I will do it nine times.

''{Strong Bad jumps up in the air and kicks Homestar in the face nine times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the last--

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut it up! Shut it up, you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shut it up, me.

''{The Cheat runs on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here, The Cheat, have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad tosses him a trophy, and The Cheat squeaks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here, The Cheat, have another trophy!

''{A trophy falls out of Homestar's mouth and The Cheat catches it. Strong Bad kicks Homestar in the face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was saving that one for about two seconds ago.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Perfect! Timing!

''{Coach Z drops down from the sky, trophy in hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Here, The Chort, have a trophy!

'''ALL THREE:''' Three trophies for The Cheat!

''{Eh! Steve shows up}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

''{the cartoon pans out to a crappy cartoon of Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the toon}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is the greatest cartoon in the whole world! Have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad gives the cheat a trophy and The Cheat squeaks. Zoom out again to the ACTUAL Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I didn't do that! Did I? ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' I mean, it was good. I liked the way you worked in Eh! Steve, but I don't think it deserved a trophy. I don't even think it deserved a pizza! Maybe a pizza trophy.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. In the toon version, it says "The End"; in the e-mail version it has the usual "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad".}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can click on Eh! Steve on The Cheat's screen to see him again.
*Also at the end you can click on The Cheat's CD-ROM drive to get some Sweet Cuppin' Cakes [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sccicons.html buddy icons] (e-mail version only).

== Fun Facts ==
*The demo that is played by Keyboard Strong Bad is the actual demo from a Casio VL-Tone keyboard.
*The demo tune is known as "Unterlanders Heimweh" (which means "Homesickness of the Lowlander" in German), and for many years, was the only song used in Casio keyboard one-button-select demos.

== DVD Version ==
*The buddy icons Easter Egg is disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

Homestar Runnar — Tue, 23 Nov 2004 03:36:09 GMT

Homestar Runnar: Transcript - Sounds more like "I don't remember your name, Stavey" than "I don't remember your name, Davey" to me.

[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|This does not look good for the [[Compy 386]].]]

'''Strong Bad Email #118'''

[[Strong Bad]] experiences some "technical difficulties" with [[Compy 386]]...and the rest of the Homestar Runner universe.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]] (easter egg) [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[The King of Town]], [[The Ugly One]], [[Bubs]], [[The Cheat]], [[Rather Dashing]], [[Fightgar]] (easter egg)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got the email, you got the email, I got the email, you got the email. ''{starts reading email}''

''{Pronounces "Ert plus: Why seven-six pee! Ohlyuu eight--" then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the Quadratic Formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those VIRUS emails? Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you? I'll take care of this!

''{Strong Bad types "deleted," but the screen replies "NICE TRY!" A red line of text appears reading "That didn't work."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! I said deleted!

''{Strong Bad types it again, this time in capital italicized letters, but the screen flashes "NOTTA CHANCE!!" A red line of text appears reading "That neither."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, a wise guy, eh? Maybe I should introduce you to my main man, Edgar!

''{Strong Bad types in edgarware.exe, bringing up the following text on-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right Edgar, now drop a ''train'' on 'em!

''{The following text now appears on the screen}''

Scan Complete!

Viruses Found!

A New Record!!
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{alarmed}'' Waaugh! That is not a small number! That is a ''big'' number!! What'm I gonna do?

''{The following text now appears on the screen}''

<pre>
FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

Computer over.
Virus = Very Yes.
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Computer over? Virus equals very yes? That's not a good prize!

''{The text on the Compy 386 screen melts off, and slides onto the floor}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad jumps out of the way. The camera zooms out to a view of the computer desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Compy just peed my carpet.

''{The corner of the computer desk briefly flashes, showing an underlying gridwork to it, The No Loafing sign becomes the following text and falls off the wall.}''

<pre>
<head>
<href>No loafing!!</href>
</body>
</pre>

''{The Floppy Disk Container gets swallowed by the computer desk, and Strong Sad walks in, but his head has been replaced by his emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]] which floats a foot to the left of where it should be.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, what is going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! Uh, I dunno. You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of the Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3," in the corner in place of the "What's new" text}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No more irresponsibly than usual.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Lower body starts walking away in place}'' Did you get a virus?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with guilt}'' Uhhh, noo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you get four hundred thousand viruses?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{submissive}'' Yes... very yes!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well hurry up and ''do'' something about it before it gets worse!

''{Strong Sad turns into a Strong Sad trading card and flies up and off the screen. The Main Page at the top of the screen disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{scared}'' The Cheeeaaat!

''{Strong Bad runs off the screen and into the black to the right of the computer desk, then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? Whoa! It's cold out here!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump back onto the screen, but it shifts left, causing him to still fall on blank space}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Homestar Runner walks onscreen. His body is 1936 The Homestar Runner's body, while the rest of him is normal. Instead of his legs moving, he just glides on, producing several ghost images of himself}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box! ''{he turns to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No, no! Don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground}'' Like these right here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stop! That's not supposed to be possible!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uhh, this one ''{picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu}'' and this one ''{picks up "games" from the bottom menu}'' and this one. ''{picks up "characters" from the bottom menu}''

''{Suddenly, several pop-up windows (including a real one) titled "Click on the Monkey!!" and featuring oldschool Homestar in them appear saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!" spawn. Strong Bad starts screaming and pounding the side of the screen with his fists. Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Mad is standing nearby and Marzipan is standing next to a huge stack of VHS tapes}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I think it's fantastic, Strong Mad! That's the best stack of VHS tapes I've ever-

''{Marzipan suddenly turns into a ASCII rendering of herself, and her voice becomes extremely deep and distorted making her words unintelligible}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{more unintelligible gibberish}''

''{Strong Mad turns into a picture of himself from his character video inside a large M, which walks offscreen. Text appears at the top of the screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
If anyone is truly a big lug, Strong Mad is. This guy is dumb
strong, and that's pretty much the definition of a lug. One ti

</pre>

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is standing with his shovel extended and some you-know-what on the end of it, as the King of Town stands nearby}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A little to the left... ''{the Poopsmith extends the shovel towards the King}'' Good, good...

''{The scene suddenly changes to a TGS style piece of paper, with the text "issue 3.14159265and the rest" at the top. The Poopsmith is gone.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Poopsmith?

''{The Ugly One appears out of nowhere, her mouth huge and distorted}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it 9 times!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner loading screen, which splits and reveals a screen with the text "It is now safe to turn your computer off." Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His face is a broken JPEG, his legs are rendered in a fashion suitable for red/blue 3D-glasses, his belt is transparent, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about.}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a million years ago.

''{Cut to a cloud scene. Strong Bad is here and extremely glitched up and disproportioned, as is The Cheat who keeps floating around the screen randomly, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black [[Rather Dashing]] and a colon continuously fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and starts flying around the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's Radish we gonna win the competition!

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! He fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man!

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, and Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi- wait...why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do? Where's my Compy?!

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still shaken}'' YOU MURDERER! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand. AAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat makes some Cheat noises, and follows him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs! Can I have my leg back now?

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very distraught}'' Dear Strong Bad, I doh du duoh crapfully yours. ''{hits head on keyboard a few times}'' ID DOH DU DUOH CRAPFULLY YOURS! *sniff* I can't relate. ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' I ''can't relate!'' ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and MIX ''{hits head}'' it up.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''name'', Stavey! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==
*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen you can still click the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] buttons to see them.
**If you hold tab until it highlights over where the updates are posted and hit enter, it takes you to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**If you mouse over the Quote of the Week, it bounces around the screen until it gets lodged at the top. When you click "Hear it," a pixelated broom scrolls vertically along the screen and makes a loud distorted noise, the same as is heard by Marzipan moments later and some of the links dissapear off the bottom of the screen. When you click the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen and the links reappear.
***This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake QOD (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom, right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
**If you click on Weekly Fanstuff, it leads to the Sketchbook, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's the Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and a grill. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom. Scroll over the close button,which is misspelled as OC(x)LSE, and the words 'A BOOK' appear in green.
***The numbers are in a font called "MS Reference Specialty" and spell out the phrase "stick to your books" (possibly- since the letters a-h in MS Reference Specialty are represented by little squares.)
**If you click on the Sketchbook, it leads to Weekly Fanstuff, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scroll over it and a green X appears overtop. Clicking it causes it to close. Allowing it to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch - a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
*If you click on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail, you can see Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*If you click on the fan on the right, you can see a [[Cheat Commandos]] excerpt, but instead of a gun, Fightgar holds Homestar's leg (which curiously works the same way.)

== Fun Facts ==
{{funfacts}}

*During the final distorted scene, [[The Cheat]] is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
**1. The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
**2: One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
**3: A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
**4: Another drawn version that is not done quite as sloppily.
**5: A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
**6: And a Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the "fan stuff" part of the [[Museum]].

*If you click "main" on the navigation bar it says the 404 error. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained on some computers by dividing zero by zero, and/or other mathematical errors.

*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable and make the back of the screen turn blue.

*The letters that make up ASCII Marzipan refer to parts of her body. "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress.

*After the computer is destroyed, the contrast buttons are no longer clickable.

* {{funfacts2}}

=== References ===
This e-mail makes reference to many other toons, e-mails, and possibly a few things outside the Homestar universe as well.

*[[Edgarware]] is a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which also uses a generic-looking bespectacled computer nerd as a front man.

*"FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR" comes from "[[50 emails]]" (where, in turn, it was similar to the Windows [[Wikipedia:Blue Screen of Death|Blue Screen of Death]]). His response that it's not a "good prize" comes from "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".
**The "good prize" comment might also be in response to his setting a new record for the number of viruses, and he was "rewarded" with Flagrant System Error.

*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "''Spy vs. Spy''" before it melts into the desk. ''[[Wikipedia:Spy vs. Spy|Spy vs. Spy]]'', based on the feature comic of [[Wikipedia:Mad Magazine|MAD Magazine]], was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.

*"Stave it off 1, 2, 3..." is from the Strong Bad E-mail "[[for kids]]".

*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [http://e2tl.playvectrex.com/mirror/cards.swf Trading Cards] that has since been removed from the site.

*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom the baby knocks over to let you into Naked Ned's cottage.

*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, referring to the onion-skinning feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.

*"Click on the monkey" refers to various popups where if you click said object (ranging from targets to, well, monkeys), your computer will usually get bombarded with spyware, viruses, etc.

*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. (It has since been changed.) The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".

*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].

*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the last iteration of the Characters page ([http://homestarrunner.com/yearbook.html The Yearbook]), as does the picture of him inside a giant M.

*When Bubs' mouth is a broken JPEG, it has the letters "TH." This is a reference to his other identity, [[Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman]].
** The broken-image picture used comes from Mozilla Firefox, as well as other Netscape web browsers.

*The scene with The Ugly One and the King of Town has sounds from [[Rhinofeeder]].

*The Ugly One's line and the sound effects played after it come from The Cheat's cartoon in "[[crazy cartoon]]". (However, she slightly misquotes it: she should say "I ''will'' do it nine times", not "I ''can'' do it nine times".)

*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game.

*During the big glitch scene right before Bubs "fixes" the computer, we can hear the song from the intro of "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That a Ghost]]".

*"With Marzipan's radish, we gonna win the competition!" is a sound clip from [[The Reddest Radish]].

*The sound that the shotgun makes is the same sound as when The Cheat's head explodes.
**It's also the same sound as the easter egg in "[[gimmicks]]" where one of the Tandy 400's vacuum tubes flashes.

*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.

*Bubs sells the broken Compy 386 as he does with the [[KoT E-mail| broken Tandy 400]].

* {{funfacts2}}
*The sound that the giant "M" Strong Mad is a reference to the sound Homsar makes when he walks

Homestar Runnar: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:replacement.png|thumb|Strong Bad's grave]]

'''StrongBadEmail #105'''

[[Strong Bad]] looks for a replacement for when he retires

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan (character) | Marzipan]], [[Homsar (character) | Homsar]]

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''': Our next show is a family show. It... is... the email.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Have you ever thought who will take
your place when you retire?

Your friend,
Jeffrey Desterhoft</pre>

''{typing}'' You've got a good point there, Jeffy. I suppose I can't keep checking these e-mails forever. I never really thought about finding an heir to my throne before. Come to think of it, what ever happened to my throne? ''{stops typing, picks up a phone, and talks into it, making a sound like a loudspeaker in a supermarket}'' Attention The Cheat. Customer needs assistance in e-mail. Customer needs assistance in e-mail. ''{puts down the phone, which is not attatched to anything. The Cheat arrives in a blue employee's vest with his name on it}'' The Cheat, didn't I use to have a throne of some kind?

'''THE CHEAT''': ''{makes questioning Cheat noises and points at the stool}''

'''STRONG BAD''': No, no, no, this is my ''stool''. I'm talking about a ''throne''. You know, it had, like... gold nuggets on it, and... a hundred cupholders... some of them velvety cushions...you know, a ''throne''. And I think I had a motorcycle, too. See if you can find those.

'''THE CHEAT''': Okay.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' I guess the best way to find a replacement is to subject a bunch of applicants to the same rigorous screening process that I subjected myself to ''{begins to sound unsure of what he is saying}'' when I started checking these emails?

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad and Homestar are there.}''

I'm gonna hold up a last name, and you make fun of it. ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Gargleman" written on it}'' Gargleman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Dumweiner" written on it}'' Dumweiner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, crapface.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Butkus" written on it}'' Butkus.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Crambert" written on it}'' Crambert.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Crapface?

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Desterhoft" written on it}'' Desterhoft.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{sarcastically}'' Let me think about it, {''without hesitation''} crapface.

'''STRONG BAD''': Whoah! Perfect score!

''{Cut to the computer room. Strong Bad and Coach Z are there.}''

Let's hear your best "deleted". {''presses a button on the keyboard and the Compy displays DELETED on a blue background, making the standard DELETED sound''}

'''COACH Z''': DELORTED!

''{Compy displays DELORTED on an ugly yellow background and we hear a distorted, unsure version of the DELETED sound. Strong Bad is in shock. Cut to the basement with Strong Bad and Bubs and a cardboard box with Strong Sad drawn on it sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''BUBS''': Kick him in the teeth!

'''STRONG BAD''': That's good, that's good, even though he might not have any teeth. What else?

'''BUBS''': Kick him in the grill!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, yeah! Keep going!

'''BUBS''': Kick ''you'' in the grill! ''{approaches Strong Bad yelling menacingly}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{nervously}'' No, no, Bubs, calm down, this is only a drill!

'''BUBS''': ''{Yelling obscurely}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's house with Strong Bad and Marzipan holding Carol.}''

Let's see your best "scroll buttons" song.

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{singing}'' And that's why I like to scroll, with scroll buttons!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, right, right, the worst song I ever heard. Play another one!

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{singing}'' Scroll buttons are good, they move you up and down...

''{Strong Bad groans annoyedly. Cut to the basement, with Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and the same cardboard box with Strong Sad on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, Strong Sad, Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''STRONG SAD''': Go make him some hummus.

'''STRONG BAD''': Hummus?! No, try something else.

'''STRONG SAD''': Uh... give him a foot massage.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{looks at Strong Sad's feet}'' Those are not feet!

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Strong Bad, and a cardboard box with The Cheat drawn on. Underneath the box, you can see the feet of the real The Cheat.}''

Now I want you to pretend this is The Cheat, and give him a good, swift, kick in The Cheat!

''{Homestar bends one of his legs back, and then pauses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Umm... crapface.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front of his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh. {''typing''} This screening process is neither processing nor screening very well. I suppose I should cut to the chase and haul out the big guns...DANCE CONTEST!

{''Cut to a stage. Music is playing. We see the top part of Strong Bad's head watching each contestant. First up is Marzipan, who spins her ponytail around while moving her head left and right. Next is Coach Z, who taps his right foot while waving his arms. Then we see Strong Sad simply twitching his fingers, Bubs shaking his arms while jumping up and down, Strong Mad just standing there, not dancing, simply yelling:''}

'''STRONG MAD''': I'M STRONG MAD! I'M STRONG MAD!!!

''{...Homsar shuffling his feet all along the stage, and finally Homestar, lit by a spotlight. The music changes to what sounds like the tune of "Strangers in the night"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{singing}'' And then I put it on my faaaaace...

''{Cut to Strong Bad at his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Uh, this dance contest is neither contesting nor dancing very well. Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die. ''{stops typing}'' Whoa, that'd make an awesome tattoo! Or an even better epitaph!

''{cut to the field at night. We hear crickets chirping, we see a crescent moon. A blank tombstone is on the foreground and as we hear Strong Bad's voice, his words are carved on the slab}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voice-over}'' Here lies Strong Bad ''{underneath, in slightly smaller letters}'' "Checking e-mails and kicking Cheats in the hereafter" ''{underneath}'' Buried with his hundred girfriends ''{underneath}'' And like, a jillion dollars ''{underneath, in even smaller letters}'' Please don't dig up the grave.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end click on "Cheat" to see [[The Cheat]] searching for a motorcycle.

== Fun Facts ==
*[[The Cheat]] is wearing a blue uniform, typical of Walmart employees, but [[Strong Bad]] uses a red phone, typical of Target stores.
*The call phone's cord isn't connected to anything, but it still works.
*The floppy disk says "[http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,325/ Alone in The Dark]." This is an actual game. Interestingly enough, there is no way Strong Bad's computer could possibly run this game.
*As you probably can see, [[The Cheat]] really is under the cardboard box labeled "The Cheat."
*When [[Strong Bad]] is holding up signs of last names for [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] to make fun of, the last one is "Desterhoft," the last name of the person who sent the e-mail in.
*This is yet another incidence where the 'The Cheat rule' has been broken. [[Strong Bad]] says he will be 'kicking Cheats in the hereafter.' No 'The' is found before 'Cheat.'
*The first set of quotes on the tombstone is facing the wrong way.
*[[Strong Bad]] uses the term "jillion" again at the end of this e-mail. (first used in [[car]])
*[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] uses the term "Crapface." (First used in [[50 emails]])
*[[Strong Bad]] uses the term "Gold Nuggets" which refered to [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Characters|character]] video.
*This is the first time [[Coach Z]] has used his strange accent since the last Halloween episode.
*One of the make-funnable last names was "Butkus," of Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus.
*When [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]] is playing [[Carol]], nothing ''appears'' to be in the picture above the couch, but it still is the same "Thank You" sign from [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]]. That picture has an inordinate amount of empty space above and below "Thank you" and we're just seeing a lot of that.
*If you wait at the end without clicking the word "Cheats," you can hear a split second of [[Strong Bad]] calling [[The Cheat]] from the Easter Egg.
*Bubs' moves in the dance contest come from an old game on the site.
*If you watch the flash file for this email, look closely at the left side of the screen when Marzipan is playing her scroll button songs. Something is plugged into the wall, but we don't know what it is.
*Since most of what Homestar says in this email is "crapface", his song, "And then I put it on my faaaaace..." could be saying that he put crap on his face. Possible.

action figure

Homestar Runnar — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 01:41:10 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* Fun Facts */ - Removed an incorrect one. As the first Fun Fact says, he's humming the "action figure background music," not the Dangeresque theme.

[[Image:sbemail42.PNG|thumb|Smells like peanut action!]]

'''Strong Bad Email #42'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad what he would look like as an action figure.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' Doo doo do doo, doo duh doo DOO!

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad,

If someone made a Strong Bad action figure, what kind of awesome stuff would it be able to do?

Kyle Rechsteiner
San Mateo, cA</pre>

''{Strong Bad says "San Mateos, Can Mateos".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Oh man, Kyle. My action figure would have it all. First of all:

''{cut to a screen where Strong Bad's action figure appears as he details it}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' It'd look exactly like me...

''{the action figure first appears; it is considerably taller, buffer, and with a much smaller head than the actual Strong Bad}''

...you know, in terms of his physique, and the relative size of his head to his body, it'd be exactly the same. And of course I'd come armed to the teeth! With my Chinese throwing croissant! Then, I'd be able to shoot sparks from my mouth, you know like, khfkhfkhffffkhfk, it'd make a noise like that. And when you push down on my head, there'd be PFF! Double deuce action! And then of course, you could take the head off, too, and there'd be a hole where you could pour like, motor oil, or grapefruit juice, or whatever kinda junk you wanna put in there. And then, turn off the lights, glow-in-the-dark abs, man! Oh! Oh! And get it wet, and you get SEVERE KNIFE FIGHT DAMAGE, like magic appears! But that's not all! UH-OH! ''{the action figure's leg falls off}'' Battle damage! And finally, switch to the dispensor fist to ooze radioactive goo!

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

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' I think those things would sell like hotcakes, man. Ooh! Especially if they SMELLED like hotcakes! Anyways, I tried to make one of my own one time and it didn't turn out as good as my imagination.

''{Strong Bad holds up a peanut with pipe cleaners for arms and a painted face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Basically all it has is... smells-like-peanut action. I'm lookin' for some licensees.

''{Strong Bad starts playing with the action figure}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Doo doo doooo! ''{starts speaking for the figure}'' Hey Homestar, get away from here! Holy crap!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* At the end you can click on the ugly Peanut Strong Bad and see the package of the cool Strong Bad action figure. Keep clicking to see some more characters as action figures. The characters and package blurbs are:
** Strong Bad
*** Exciting Action Man!
*** Chinese Throwing Croissant!
*** Severe Double Deuce Action!
*** Smells Like Hotcakes!
**** This is actually mispelled "Snel ls Like Hot cakes!"
** Coach Z
*** Green Colored Hero!
*** High-Pitched Super Sonic Whistle!
*** Butt-Patting Action
** Strong Mad
*** Action Toy!
*** He's The Biggest One!
*** Friends With The Cheat!
** Pom Pom
*** Action Fighting Guy!
*** Secret Cell Phone!
*** The Ladies Choice!
** Strong Sad
*** Action-Like Figurine!
*** Atomic Calligraphy Pen!
*** Extreme Whining And Crying!
** Homestar
*** Super Action Doll
*** Spiked Battle Marshmallows
*** No Arms! Like Real Life!
** Peanut Strong Bad
*** Homemade Peanut Warrior
*** Muesum Quality
*** Smells Like Peanut Action!
* All the toys are made by [[Cheap as Free]] Toys, are for ages 3-5, and cost $11.01.

== Fun Facts ==
*At the beginning, Strong Bad is humming the same tune that is in the background when it shows the action figures.
*The "Chinese Throwing Croissant" is likely a reference to the end of [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad starts to ramble on about how the horns in his drawing look like croissants and how he'd really like one right about now.
*When you push on its head, it supposedly has "Double Deuce" action. This is referring to [[the bird]].
*All of the action figures are modeled strongly after the Masters of the Universe line.

Homestar Runnar — Thu, 18 Nov 2004 00:27:53 GMT

Homestar Runnar: /* External Links */ - Added links to the SWFs of the fake QOD, the fake fanstuff, and the fake sketchbook.

[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|This doesn't look good for the [[Compy 386]].]]

'''Strong Bad Email #118'''

[[Strong Bad]] experiences some "technical difficulties" with Compy 386...and the rest of the Homestar Runner universe.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]] (easter egg) [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[The King of Town]], [[The Ugly One]], [[Bubs]], [[The Cheat]], [[Rather Dashing]], [[Fightgar]] (easter egg)

''{Pronounces "Ert plus: Why seven-six pee! Ohlyuu eight--" then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the Quadratic Formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those VIRUS emails? Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you? I'll take care of this!

''{Strong Bad types "deleted," but the screen replies "NICE TRY!" A red line of text appears reading "That didn't work."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! I said deleted!

''{Strong Bad types it again, this time in capital italicized letters, but the screen flashes "NOTTA CHANCE!!" A red line of text appears reading "That neither."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, a wise guy, eh? Maybe I should introduce you to my main man, Edgar!

''{Strong Bad types in edgarware.exe, bringing up the following text on-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK Edgar, now drop a ''train'' on 'em!

''{The following text now appears on the screen}''

Viruses Found!

A New Record!!
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{alarmed}'' Waaugh! That is not a small number! That is a ''big'' number!! What'm I gonna do?

''{The following text now appears on the screen}''

<pre>
FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

Computer over.
Virus = Very Yes.
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Computer over? Virus equals very yes? That's not a good prize!

''{The text on the Compy 386 screen melts off, and slides onto the floor}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad jumps out of the way. The camera zooms out to a view of the computer desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Compy just peed my carpet.

''{The corner of the computer desk briefly flashes, showing an underlying gridwork to it, The No Loafing sign becomes the following text and falls off the wall.}''

<body>

''{The Floppy Disk Container gets swallowed by the computer desk, and Strong Sad walks in, but his head has been replaced by his emoticons from Strong Sad's Lament which floats a foot to the left of where it should be.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, what is going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! Uh, I dunno. You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of the Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3," in the corner in place of the "What's new" text}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No more irresponsibly than usual.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Lower body starts walking away in place}'' Did you get a virus?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh, no.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you get four hundred thousand viruses?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shaken}'' Yes... very yes!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well hurry up and ''do'' something about it before it gets worse!

''{Strong Sad turns into a Strong Sad trading card and flies up and off the screen. The Main Page at the top of the screen disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{scared}'' The Cheeeaaat!

''{Strong Bad runs off the screen and into the black to the right of the computer desk, then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? Whoa! It's cold out here!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump back onto the screen, but it shifts left, causing him to still fall on blank space}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Homestar Runner walks onscreen. His body is 1936 The Homestar Runner's body, while the rest of him is normal. Instead of his legs moving, he just glides on, producing several ghost images of himself}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box! ''{he turns to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No no! Don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground}'' Like these right here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stop! That's not supposed to be possible!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uhh, this one ''{picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu}'' and this one ''{picks up "games" from the bottom menu}'' and this one. ''{picks up "characters" from the bottom menu}''

''{Suddenly, several pop-up windows (including a real one) titled "Click on the Monkey!!" and featuring oldschool Homestar in them appear saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!" spawn. Strong Bad starts screaming and pounding the side of the screen with his fists. Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Mad is standing nearby and Marzipan is standing next to a huge stack of VHS tapes}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I think it's fantastic, Strong Man! That's the best stack of VHS tapes I've ever-

''{Marzipan suddenly turns into a ASCII rendering of herself, and her voice becomes extremely deep and distorted making her words unintelligible}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

''{Strong Mad turns into a picture of himself from his character video inside a large M, which walks offscreen. Text appears at the top of the screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
If anyone is truly a big lug, Strong Mad is. This guy is dumb
strong, and that's pretty much the definition of a lug. One ti
his brother Strong Bad asked him to pick up this one car. An
he did, but it was the wrong car. See? Dumb and strong. He'
</pre>

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is standing with his shovel extended and some you-know-what on the end of it, as the King of Town stands nearby}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A little to the left... ''{the Poopsmith extends the shovel towards the King}'' Good, good...

''{The scene suddenly changes to a TGS style piece of paper, with the text "issue 3.14159265and the rest" at the top. The Poopsmith is gone.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Poopsmith?

''{The Ugly One appears out of nowhere, her mouth huge and distorted}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it 9 times!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner loading screen, which splits and reveals a screen with the text "It is now safe to turn your computer off." Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His face is a broken JPEG, his legs are rendered in a fashion suitable for red/blue 3D-glasses, his belt is transparent, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about.}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a million years ago.

''{Cut to a cloud scene. Strong Bad is here and extremely glitched up and disproportioned, as is The Cheat who keeps floating around the screen randomly, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black [[Rather Dashing]] and a colon continuously fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and starts flying around the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's Radish we gonna win the competition!

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! He fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man!

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, and Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi- wait...why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do? Where's my Compy?!

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still shaken}'' YOU MURDERER! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand. AAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat makes some Cheat noises, and follows him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs! Can I have my leg back now?

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very distraught}'' Dear Strong Bad, I don't know the crapfully yours. ''{hits head on keyboard a few times}'' I-I don't know the crapfully yours. *sniff* I can't relate. ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' I ''can't relate!'' ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and MIX ''{hits head}'' it up.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''name'', Davey! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==
*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen you can still click the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] buttons to see them.
**If you hold tab until it highlights over where the updates are posted and hit enter, it takes you to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**If you mouse over the Quote of the Week, it bounces around the screen until it gets lodged at the top. When you click "Hear it," a pixelated broom scrolls vertically along the screen and makes a loud distorted noise, the same as is heard by Marzipan moments later and some of the links dissapear off the bottom of the screen. When you click the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen and the links reappear.
***This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake QOD (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom, right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
**If you click on the Sketchbook, a picture of Coach Z upside down appears, with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's the Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and a grill. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom. Scroll over the close button,which is misspelled as OC(x)LSE, and the words 'A BOOK' appear in green.
**If you click on Weekly Fanstuff, the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scroll over it and a green X appears overtop. Clicking it causes it to close. Allowing it to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch - a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
*If you click on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail, you can see Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*If you click on the fan on the right, you can see a [[Cheat Commandos]] excerpt, but instead of a gun, Fightgar holds Homestar's leg (which curiously works the same way.)

== Fun Facts ==
*After his first attempt to delete the email, Strong Bad does not get the a:> that he normally receives before entering a command. However, the computer is able to respond rudely to his "DELETED!" and is able to run edgarware.exe with no problem.

*This is the second appearance of Strong Bad's spiffy keyboard. He could umlat (sp?) words really quickly in [[little questions]] and is able to switch to italics very quickly without a mouse in his second attempt to delete the email.
**Alternately, he could have just used Ctrl-I to italicize it, as that is a common italics hotkey.

*[[The Cheat]] is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
**1. The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
**2: One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from [[The Cheat Theme Song]].
**3: A drawn version, from [[The Reddest Radish]].
**4: Another drawn version that is not done quite as sloppily.
**5: A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
**6: And a Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the "fan stuff" part of the [[Museum]].

*"Click on the monkey" is a reference to various popups where if you click said object (ranging from targets to, well, monkeys), your computer will usually get bombarded with spyware, viruses, etc

*Marzipan says [[Strong Man]] instead of [[Strong Mad]] in the e-mail, if one listens well. This is probably a reference to Strong Mad's [[1936]] incarnation.

*The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*If you click "main" on the navigation bar it says the 404 error. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained (among other ways) by dividing zero by zero.
**This may be because of an (intentional or faked, in this email's case) error in the code for randomizing the number used to select a main page.

*[[Wikipedia:Quadratic formula|The quadratic formula]] is a mathematical equation used for finding solutions to quadratic equations.

*[[Wikipedia:Linux|"Linux"]] refers to the [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written for the 386 by [[Wikipedia:Linus Torvalds|Linus Torvalds]] in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:GNU/Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]). The name is often thrown around as a buzzword by those who do not know what it is, which explains Strong Bad's absolutely random use of the name.

*Bubs' computer expertise was first recognized in [[The System is Down]].

*Strong Bad saying "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a reference to the Three Stooges, where Curly uses the very same phrase often.

*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable and make the back of the screen turn blue.

*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "''Spy vs. Spy''" before it melts into the desk. ''[[Wikipedia:Spy vs. Spy|Spy vs. Spy]]'', based on the feature comic of [[Wikipedia:Mad Magazine|Mad Magazine]], was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.

*"FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR" comes from [[50 emails]]. His response that it's not a "good prize" comes from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
**The "good prize" comment might also be in response to the fact that Strong Bad set a new record for the number of viruses, and the Flagrant System Error was the "prize" for getting the record.

*The fate of Strong Bad's table may be a reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation. When the holodeck went haywire, patches of it would appear only as the underlying grid, just as the table does.
**The vector-ized table also references the game [[StrongBadZone]] with its red and black graphics.
**It could also be a reference to the old movie "[[Wikipedia:Tron|Tron]]."

*When Strong Sad appears after the water flows out of the Compy 386, if you look to the top right corner you see the words "Stave it off 1, 2, 3..." which is an obvious reference to the Strong Bad e-mail [[for kids]].

*The "Current Mood" descriptions over Strong Sad's head are a reference to similar postings on the [[Strong Sad Blog]].

*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [http://e2tl.playvectrex.com/mirror/cards.swf Trading Cards] that has since been removed from the site.

*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, refering to the onion-skinning feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.

*When Homestar appears on the screen his body is that of [[The Homestar Runner|Old Timey Homestar]].

*After Homestar removes the words "games", "characters", and "downloads" from the bottom of the screen, all of the other words, except for "toons", are still clickable.

*The "Click the Monkey" phrase, "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome", was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. It has since been changed, though. The phrase is also heard in [[The Cheat Theme Song]].

*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the last iteration of the Characters page ([http://homestarrunner.com/yearbook.html The Yearbook]), as does the picture of him inside a giant M.

*Note that the sound Strong Mad makes as he leaves off the screen is the same as Homsar's movement noise.

*The letters that make up ASCII Marzipan refer to parts of her body. "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress.

*The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi (3.14159265 and the rest). The "And the rest" may be a reference to the fact that Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]].

*The sound with which The Ugly One appears is the sound of the rhino from [[Rhinofeeder]]. The sound with which the scene around the King of Town changes into paper is the sound played as the background around pixellated Strong Bad changes to a grassy scene in [[video games]], during Strong Bad's discussion of [[Rhinofeeder]]. That sound effect is also used elsewhere on the site.

*The Ugly One's line, and the sound effects played after that come from The Cheat's cartoon in [[crazy cartoon]]/[[Crazy Cartoon (toon)]].

*The "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen is from old Windows 95 Machines which could not turn themselves off.
**They got it slightly wrong in the cartoon though--"It's now safe to turn your computer off." This may have been intentional.

*During the big glitch scene right before Bubs "fixes" the computer, we can hear the song from the intro of [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]] and [[That a Ghost]].

*Strong Bad talking about radishes is from [[The Reddest Radish]], and in fact is the actual clip of his voice from that cartoon.

*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his right arm is moving as if stuck in position #5 and his left arm stuck in position #4 of a game of [[Dancin' Bubs]].

*The sound that the shotgun makes ''(i.e. everything returning to normal)'' is the same sound as when The Cheat's head explodes.

*After the computer is destroyed, the contrast buttons are no longer clickable.

*Bubs selling the broken Compy 386 (easter egg) is a reference to [[KoT E-mail]], in which we learn Bubs had also sold the broken Tandy 400.

*This is most likely the end of the Compy 386 era. We should see a new computer in the next email or so. The last computer change was in [[invisibility]].
**On the DVD commentary for [[invisibility]], they were discussing the possibility that they would retire Compy and replace it with a laptop named "Lappy;" the part about the laptop may or may not be a joke.

*This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are [[flashback]] (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), [[for kids]] where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, [[the process]] (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), and [[extra plug]] (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*The page title is "Compy 386??", which is referring to the fact that the Compy 386 is clearly destroyed in this e-mail.

*When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D.

*When Bubs' mouth is a broken JPEG, it has the letters "TH." This is a reference to his other identity, [[Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman]].

*If you click on the 'Quote of the week button easter egg', the buttons at the bottom that are eventually removed by Homestar are removed prematurely, yet still clickable. Close the box, and the buttons reappear.

*The 'Quote of the week' box is actually mirrored at the time that it falls off the screen. Also, instead of the usual 'Download It' option, it says 'Don't TAPE it'. It is clickable, pressing the mouse button down over the word shows 'Don't TAKE it' in a different colored font, but nothing happens when you release the mouse button.

*When the screen comes up to say 'It is now safe to turn off your computer', the rest of the navigation buttons at the bottom disappear, and don't reappear the entire rest of the toon.

*ERT+ is shorthand for the female hormone estrogen.

*When Strong Bad says, "Meet my main man Edgar," it might be a reference to the [[2 years]] e-mail, where he says his main man is Van Mundegaarde.

*[[Edgarware]] is probably a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which also uses a generic-looking bespectacled computer nerd as a front man.

*In order for Strong Bad to obtain 423,827 viruses, he had to obtain roughly 786 viruses a day. That's about 32 an hour, and 1 every two minutes. (This is only if Strong Bad had had the Compy 386 for 77 weeks, which is not totally, but technically true, considering there are many times where he hasn't had an e-mail every week.)

*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.

*The Compy's screen melting could be an obscure referance to the horror movie "The Ring" in which the victim's TV screen started leaking right before they died.

*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]]

*Strong bad being outside of "normal space" (where he exclaims "it is cold out here!") could be a reference to a bug/feature in Peasant's Quest where you can also end up "out in the black".

*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom the baby knocks over to let you into naked man's cottage.

*The three "main page" easter eggs (Quote of the Week, Fanstuff, Sketchbook) stay open throughout the e-mail if you don't close them.
