Pan Pan

[[Image:panpan.PNG|thumb|right|220px|He fell on you!]]
[[Image:Pan.PNG|left|"Baddalang."]]

'''Pan Pan''', an anime-style [[Wikipedia:Giant Panda|Giant Panda]], is the [[20X6]] version of [[Pom Pom]]. Pan Pan seems to be a takeoff on the obligatory anime animal mascot, though in [[Under Construction]] he behaves more or less like Pom Pom. Like the other forms of Pom Pom, he doesn't speak in English; he instead speaks in a strange boinging sound. Pan Pan falling on [[1-Up]] appears to be a running gag.

Like most other [[Characters#20X6|20X6 characters]], getting the appropriate pill in the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] will reveal Pan Pan. There, Pan Pan opens his mouth instead of boinging to talk.

In [[Stinkoman 20X6]], Pan Pan gets kidnapped by the [[Shadowy Figure]]. 1-Up tries to tell [[Stinkoman]], but Stinkoman has other plans. Eventually, 1-Up is also captured after the rescue fails.

Pan Pan is one of the few characters who has a visible nose.

Pan Pan may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Genma Saotome|Genma]] from the famed manga [[Wikipedia:Ranma ½|Ranma ½]]. His name may also come from [[Wikipedia:Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion]]'s "Pen Pen" (or "Pen2"), a penguin with a similar coloring, name, and blank stare. Like Pen Pen, Pan Pan's name is the first syllable of his species, repeated.

In Japanese, pan-pan is an [[onomatopoeia]] for the sound of a slap. Also, "pan" is Japanese for bread/bun, which could connotate a bulging, plump, or swollen appearance.

His name could be a reference to a character from the game Ribbitking.

[[The Brothers Chaps]] have made several references to the animated television sitcom '''''[[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]]''''', which they have [[The Brunswickan Interview - 4 Apr 2003|cited in the past]] as one of their writing influences.

==Appearances==

*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] — [[The Knight]]'s costume refers to the ''Simpsons'' episode "[[Wikipedia:$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)|$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]", in which [[Wikipedia:Ralph Wiggum|Ralph Wiggum]] wears the exact same thing in a pageant for the United States.

''Tubamaba'' is a neologism from the ''Simpsons'' episode "[[Wikipedia:Lisa's Sax|Lisa's Sax]]", in which [[Wikipedia:Homer Simpson|Homer Simpson]] uses it as a mispronunciation of the word ''tuba'' (in the same way that he originally mispronounces ''saxophone'' as ''saxomaphone'').

:''{The Sneak scurries off}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When Old-Timey Strong Bad responds to Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth in the Easter egg, he calls him a "carpetbagger." A [[Wikipedia:carpetbagger|carpetbagger]] is actually a post-Civil War term for a Northerner moving to the South after the war to get rich or gain power.
*When Strong Bad says, "I'll leave the key under the at-may," he is speaking [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]]. "At-may" would mean "mat."

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*The title of the page may be a reference to the phrase "Lordy, Lordy! Look who's forty!" which is usually used on someone's 40th birthday, even though this is Strong Bad's 50th email.
*The phone ringing sound effect is "ringin.wav", from the Microsoft system sounds included in Windows 95 through Windows XP.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#tongue of the fatman|tongue of the fatman]]".
*The date on the telegram is "11th/x4/29..".
*This is the first email in which the "[[DELETED]]" screen is shown on the Compy. The background is blue, whereas it was green on the [[Tandy 400]].
*This is the first instance of [[The Paper]] coming down more than once.

===Remarks===
*It is strange that Homestar calls the computer screen a "TV [that] has words on it," yet he immediately knows he can type a response to the email.
*The telegram received by Old-Timey Strong Bad has an incomplete [[Wikipedia:Boolean algebra|boolean]] [[Wikipedia:truth table|truth table]] in the upper right corner.
*In the Easter egg, Old-Timey Strong Bad fails to end his telegram with a 'stop'.
*You can't click The Paper when it first comes down.
*On most DOS versions it is impossible to have filenames on both the left and right side of the screen.
*When Strong Bad jumps off his stool and The Geddup noise is made, his stool doesn't move.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is talking while reading/answering an email, his lips' movements and the movements in the reflection are not in sync.
*Telegrams are always typed in upper case. They also never use any punctuation, hence the word STOP at the end of each sentence.
*When Homestar types in "da cheated," it is typed in on the left. However, one would expect the entry to be in the right column, as there are already an odd number of attempts.
*Three different shades of blue were used for the system error screen (each of which were a different shade from the "MATT" screen). The color changes from a bright blue to a duller blue as Strong Bad is sitting back down.

===Glitches===
*When you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
*When Strong Bad says "Matt" while typing "DELETED", his reflection appears above the Compy for a moment.
*When you adjust the contrast on the "Flagrant System Error" screen, the text changes color rather than the background.
*When Strong Bad is talking before he answers the first email you can hear a low pitched hum. For the rest of the email, the pitch is higher.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad starts his email checking by saying, "Ready? Go!" This is a reference to [[spring cleaning]], when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
*When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to [[tape-leg]], one of his past emails, and represents yet another [[Tape-leg|inside joke]] of the Homestar Universe.
*The phrase "The system is down" is from [[techno]].
*The "[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]" and "[[DELETED]]" running gags play a prominent role in this email.
*Right before Strong Bad hangs up the phone, you can see it is [[Disconnected Telephones|not connected to anything]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad's computer malfunctioning]].
*This is another instance of the common misspelling "[[Stong Bad]]".

===Real-World References===
*The blue "Flagrant System Error" screen is a spoof of the [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows 9x]] [[Wikipedia:Blue Screen of Death|blue screen of death]].
*In the Old-Timey Strong Bad Easter egg, Strong Bad ends his emails with the word "stop". Back when telegrams were used, most people used "stop" instead of a period, due to the fact that most telegram systems used a 5 bit binary code to transmit letters, which leaves only 29 possible characters. Those 29 characters were the 26 uppercase letters, a space, a return, and a hyphen.
*The telegram in the top left corner says "X-11ish". [[Wikipedia: X Window System|X11]] is a windowing system for Unix-like computer systems.

===Fast Forward===
*"Diggity", one of Homestar's attempts at "DELETED" (see below), appears in Strong Bad's deletion song in [[unused emails]] and [[car]].
*"De la soul", another attempt to say "DELETED", is sung by Brainkreig in the email [[death metal]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" screen appears again in [[virus]] and (as "Flamboyant System Error") in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*The fake Windows system report appears again in [[The System is Down]], [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], and on [[Main Page 22]].
*Homestar would eventually say "DELETED" correctly in [[retirement]], when he helps Strong Bad delete an email harder than ever before.
*When Strong Bad is on the phone, he may be talking about poachers offering money for [[Strong Sad]]'s "[[Soolnds|elephant feet]]". Strong Sad mentions this in [[modeling]].

[[Image:Stupid word.png|thumb|300px|"What is that stupid word?"]]
*Some of the commands Homestar tries are references. Some are more obvious than others:
**"del monte" — An American [http://www.delmonte.com/ produce company].
**"beefeated" — The [[Wikipedia:Yeomen Warders|Yeomen Warders]] of the [[Wikipedia:Tower of London|Tower of London]] are popularly known as Beefeaters. Beefeater is also a widely available brand of gin.
**"meathead?" — This is probably referring to a catch phrase from the 1970s sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:All in the Family|All in the Family]]'' in which [[Wikipedia:Archie Bunker|Archie Bunker]] called his son-in-law [[Wikipedia:Michael Stivic|Mike]] "Meathead."
**"stratego" — [[Wikipedia:Stratego|Stratego]] is a board game.
**"open sesame" — Famous words from the tale ''[[Wikipedia:Ali Baba|Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves]]''.
**"de la soul" — [[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] is a hip-hop group made of Posdnous, Trugoy, and P.A. Mase. They are best known for their groundbreaking 1989 debut album ''[[Wikipedia:3 Feet High and Rising|3 Feet High and Rising]]''. Their second album, ''[[Wikipedia:De La Soul is Dead|De La Soul is Dead]]'' is on [[Matt Chapman]]'s favorite album list.
**"733t3d" — A reference to [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]], a variation of language used on the Internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols. While this is probably meant to say "leeted," it actually says "teeted."
**"Del Taco?" — [[Wikipedia:Del Taco|Del Taco]] is a fast food chain that sells American and Mexican food.
**"whitebread" — Another example of Homestar's [[Bread|bread obsession]].
**"Diddly-dee" is a reference to Ned Flanders from [[The Simpsons]].

Homhom: /* Easter Eggs */

{{sbenav|186}}
[[Image:sbemail186.png|thumb|"Are you guys picketing my computer?"]]
Strong Bad explains how he is helping the environment.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}, {{film|Marzipan}}, {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|Coach Z}}, {{film|The Cheat}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Marzipan's House]], [[The Field]], [[Homestar's House]], [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' Sunday, January 6, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 3:28

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm chicky-checkin' emails in 2008! Stricky-stricky-Strong Bad fit to regulate! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: high time</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
We realize that you are a busy fellow, but my friend and 
I cannot help but think that you could be doing more to 
help the environment. This is your planet too, you know. 
Lyd and Jules, 
ID and MO, respectively 
</blockquote>
''{reads ID as "idiot" and MO as "moron"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well...ladies? I do plenty to help the environment. Nobody ever gives me credit for my most significant contribution. ''{clears the screen}'' Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is NOT drop a piano on Marzipan's head. Who knows how many greenhouse gases I've rescued as a result of not mortally wounding ol' Marzipole. And don't forget my New Year's resolution to stop watering her plants with bleach. Now I water them strictly with ''{cut to Marzipan's house and a close up on her flowers}'' recycled cigarette butts.

''{Cigarette butts are dumped on one of the flowers.}''

'''FLOWER:''' ''{coughing}'' Oh, that's good stuff.

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, there ya go possibly ladies. My boat take— 
'''STRONG SAD and MARZIPAN:''' ''{faintly, chanting}'' Scrappy the Lappy! We think it's really crappy! Scrappy the Lappy!

''{cut to The Computer Room's window where the silhouette of two picket signs are seen. Strong Sad and Marzipan continue underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—?

''{cut to The Field. Strong Sad holds up a sign that says "Scrap the Lappy". Marzipan holds a sign saying "Lappy, Take the Dirt Nappy!". Strong Bad enters from the right.}''

'''STRONG SAD and MARZIPAN:''' We think it's really crappy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you guys picketing my computer?

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes we are! That Lappy is energy sappy!

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stares flatly}'' That's very clever. How long did it take you to think up—

''{cut back to shot of all three}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{posing proudly}'' Three days.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Just look at your power bill from last month.

'''STRONG SAD:''' The bill itself uses eight trees' worth of paper.

''{pan to the left to reveal a stack of paper marked "BILLS!"}''

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you trying to tell me that $70,000 power bills aren't the norm?

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, every time you press enter on the Lappy, the rest of us lose power.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' For real?

''{Push wipe back to the Lappy. There is a list labeled "Okay for Mom" on the screen with various euphemisms for buttocks within it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing in the list}'' tuckus ''{presses enter, heard with the loud clack of a circuit breaker blowing}'' hinders ''{presses enter}'' bwathom ''{presses enter}'' boontockle ''{presses enter}''

''{Push wipe to Homestar Runner with an [[Atari 2600]] joystick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Awww... ''{lights come on}'' I'm about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Awww.... ''{reverse shot of the TV that reads "PLEASE INSERT GAME PAK, KID!"}'' I'm really about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Again with the awww....

''{cut to close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fine! I'll just start using the Lappy's battery instead.

''{cut back to The Field}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, sorry. ''{medium shot of Strong Sad}'' Every time you use that battery, 45 acres of rain forest are burned to the ground!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' I knew the Lappy was awesome, but I had no idea of her destructive power! ''{cut to shot of all three}'' I gotta get Bubs to help me to overclock it and see if we can't get that up to an even 50 acres.

''{medium shot of Marzipan. Her angry brow goes away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You really have to do something, Strong Bad. Even Coach Z does all of his cooking with hydroelectric.

''{cut to a close up of Coach Z's hand in the [[showering|shower]], holding a soggy hot dog.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, the world famous Coach Z ''{the Sog Dog logo appears in the upper left corner}'' Sog Dog. ''{words appear on the screen as he says it}'' Mmmmm! Drink in that bun!

''{cut back to The Field, close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait. So, alls I got to do is take something I already do and word it differently so it sounds eco-friendly?

''{cut back to all three}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, that's what we do mostly.

''{medium shot of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Check out my sustainable MP3 player.

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And my organic ''Thelma and Louise'' DVD.

''{close up of Strong Bad, smiling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, okay. And say hello to my 65 mile-per-gallon hybrid piano!

''{long shot in silhouette of The Field. A piano is seen dropping and Strong Sad and Marzipan scatter}''

'''STRONG SAD and MARZIPAN:''' Al Gore's beard!

''{zoom back in just before the piano is seen smashed in the field next to Strong Bad. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there, there, THERE we go, maybe ladies. Strong Bad and the environment are now making out in the parent's basement of a solar-powered house. Take a look at the Lappy's new environmentally compliant sticker compliance sticker! ''{close up of the sticker next to the Lappy 486 logo}'' And it's got a picture of a little leaf on it, so you know it's good for the environment. ''{zoom out to the Lappy; resumes typing}'' So until next week, my boat take—

''{The Cheat noises are heard and the Lappy's screen goes dark. Zoom out to see a panting The Cheat (painted green) in a hamster wheel hooked up the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on green The Cheat! ''{The Cheat resumes running in the wheel}'' That's good, that's good! Only 17 more hours and I can press send.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down reading: 
"Click gently to eco-mail Strong Bad. 
printed on 100% post-consumer brown paper with green ink"}''

''{pause for a little while, as the hamster wheel sound effect fades out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow. That is one whisper quiet hamster wheel.

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:IdiotAndMoron.png|thumb|"Idiot and Moron"]]
*When Strong Bad says "Idiot and Moron, respectively," click on "ID and MO" to see an image of the states Idaho and Montana dancing with goofy faces.
**Click on Montana to change it into Missouri and "Idiot and Moron" into "[[Mike Chapman|Mike]] is a Moron!"
*At the end, click on The Cheat to see a button extolling the virtues of GreenCheat.
*At the end, after Strong Bad comments on the hamster wheel, click on the wall outlet.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing his Butt-name list on the Lappy}'' Boat take... ''{hits Enter}''
:''{Cut to behind Homestar, still trying to play his Atari 2600 game. Lights and TV come on.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the easiest video game I've ever played. ''{the room darkens}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Game Pak is the official name for the cartridges used on [[Nintendo]]'s early video game consoles, but Homestar's console uses a joystick, resembling the ones included with the [[Atari 2600]].
*"100% post-consumer" is used to indicate the amount and source of recycled material. In this case, all of the paper material comes from sources other than leftovers from manufacturing and is considered environmentally superior.
*[[Wikipedia:Overclocking|Overclocking]] is having a computer component run faster than the designed speed, usually referring to [[Wikipedia:Central processing unit|CPUs]].

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's list reads:
<blockquote class="lappy email">
Okay for [[Parents|Mom]] 
1. rear-end 
2. back parts 
3. fanny 
4. tush 
5. tushie 
6. buns 
7. booty 
8. can 
9. tuckus 
10. hinders 
11. bwathom 
12. boontockle</blockquote>

<blockquote class="lappy email">
107. hiney 
108. patootie 
109. bum 
110. rump 
111. trunk 
112. sit-part 
113. boat take</blockquote>

*Strong Bad claims that his monthly power bill is $70,000. Assuming that he pays the US national average price of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html 9.86¢/kWh], that would mean that he uses approximately 710 MWh/month ([[Wikipedia:megawatt hours|megawatt hours]] per month). This would be roughly 800 times more than the average usage of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html 888 kWh/month] per US household. Assuming the Lappy consumes most of this power, and he leaves it on 16 hours a day, this would mean the Lappy draws about 1450 kW. The most powerful real power supplies only draw 2 kW.
**Strong Sad claims his bill uses eight trees worth of paper. Assuming a tree can produce [http://www.howstuffworks.com/question16.htm 80,500] sheets of paper, this would be about 644,000 sheets of paper. This means that each page of the bill averages out to be approximately 10.87¢.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#gamma force|gamma force]]".
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when he announces for his eco-friendly piano.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad describes his green methods for helping the environment."

===Remarks===
*Though the email senders say they are from Idaho and Missouri (ID and MO), the Easter egg shows the states Idaho and Montana (ID and MT).
** The day after the email was released, an additional Easter egg was added, fixing this and poking fun at the mistake.
*The only United States marketed hybrid car to achieve 65 miles per gallon in official tests was the [[wikipedia:Honda Insight|Honda Insight]] (61/70 mpg). It is no longer produced. Currently, the most efficient hybrid car is the [[wikipedia:Toyota Prius|Toyota Prius]] (45/48 mpg)
*Just like Strong Sad in [[concert]], Homestar is either playing with a left handed Atari 2600 joystick or is playing with the joystick sideways. The standard joystick has its button in the upper left hand corner.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was originally released, while Homestar was playing the game and the power went out, every time he sighed, the wire stuck out of the top of the controller.
*Originally, after the close-up on the Lappy's "Environmentally Compliant Sticker" sticker, it disappeared and did not reappear for the rest of the email.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad claims he begins each day by "[[Not X|NOT]] dropping a piano on Marzipan".
*The window above the computer desk was last seen in [[cheat talk]] and the CGI portion of [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One|Disc 1]] of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*Marzipan and Strong Sad previously behaved as a team of environmental activists, as related on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*The email references [[smoking]].
*Marzipole and eco-mail are [[portmanteaus]].
*This email makes another reference to [[Making Out]].
*The Piano falls out of [[hammerspace]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Strong Sad's iPod|Strong Sad's MP3 player]] strongly resembles an [[wikipedia:iPhone|iPhone]] or an [[wikipedia:iPod Touch|iPod Touch]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Thelma & Louise|Thelma & Louise]]'' is a 1991 film starring [[Wikipedia:Geena Davis|Geena Davis]] as Thelma and [[Wikipedia:Susan Sarandon|Susan Sarandon]] as Louise.
*The exclamation "Al Gore's beard!" is reference to 45th Vice President of the United States and noted environmental activist [[Wikipedia:Al Gore|Al Gore]], who after losing the 2000 presidential campaign famously grew a beard and went into seclusion for a short period of time before refocusing on the environment.
*The "Environmentally Compliant" sticker is a play on [[Wikipedia:Energy Star|Energy Star]] and similar certifications used on electronics devices to rate their electricity consumption.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Sad's MP3 player later appears on the [[Podstar Runner]] background after it was updated.

April Fools' 2006

Homhom — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:23:09 GMT

Homhom:

[[Image:Intro decision page flipped.png|thumb|Flipper, Flipper, faster than liiiiightning...]]
On '''[[Wikipedia:April Fools' Day|April Fools' Day]] 2006''', [[The Brothers Chaps]] flipped the site upside down.
==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*The following pages/sites were exempt from the flipping because they are hosted separately from the main H*R content or are not Flash files:
**[[Strong Bad's Website]]
**[[Store]] and [[Store Thank You Messages]]
**[[Legal]]
**[[Strong Sad's Lament]]
**[[Stinkoman 20X6]]
***Note that if you try to [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=stinkogame/v7/stinkogame.swf flip Stinkoman 20X6], the "[[Stinkoman 20X6 Trivia#General|no Flash 7]]" warning appears.
**[[Podstar Runner]]
**All the stuff in [[Museum]].
*Seek bars did not work with the flipped toons.
*Amusingly, this made [[Homsar]]'s character page [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=vcr_homsar.swf right-side up].
:*There was a similar occurrence with [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=main8.swf Main Page 8]
*This was the first April Fool's Day Prank that is not available directly through the site, as the two before it ([[Under Construction]] and [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]]) were archived in the [[Holiday]] section of the toons menu, and the King of Town-themed pranks became an Easter egg in [[The King of Town DVD]].
*Unlike the [[:Category:April Fools|pranks]] before it, this affected the entire Homestar Runner website. In previous pranks the main page was replaced, but if you went to an email or 'toon, it would be unaffected.
*As of 2008, this stands as the last prank on the site, as in 2007 and 2008, no pranks appeared on the site at all.

===Glitches===
*Several toons that are not the usual 550x400 resolution were not centered properly:
**[[virus]]
***This email also suffered from its custom navbar missing, so Homestar pulled his words from nowhere.
**[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
**[[Handheld Games Menu]]
**[[flashback]] and [[Main Page 22]] were both correct, as they used their own flipper swf files, which handled the different size.
*Some pages had invisible or missing text:
**[[Under Construction]]
**[[Main Page 18]] (No HTML text in the "Store" effect.)
*In [[highschool]], the "m." on Young Strong Mad's shirt was missing.
*[[TROGDOR!]] didn't load up properly - the game itself took up only the bottom right quarter of the usual frame, and the rest was filled in with gray.
*Many buttons and other scripts on some of the site did not work, as they use the <code>_root</code> property in ActionScript to access the main scene of the Flash file. However, with the flipper file loading the main scene, <code>_root</code> actually referred to the ''flipper'', not the scene itself. The Brothers Chaps could have gotten around this by using the <code>[http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001522.html _lockroot]</code> property in the flipper, but it seems they didn't know about it (probably because they still use Flash 5, in which the _lockroot property doesn't exist).
**The Eject button on the [[Character Videos | Characters page]] (which normally makes Homsar's video come out of the VCR) did nothing.
**[[Edgar#Edgar's Baby's Daddy|Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] on [[candy product]] did not appear. Neither did the [[Old-Timey]] Easter egg in [[little animal]].
**In [[interview]], you could not change the pictures on the [[Sticky Notes]] or play with [[The Cheat's Lightswitch]]
**In [[Duck Pond]], the hand never moved when it threw bread, and the ducks never ate what was thrown.
**The video clips in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] repeated themselves automatically.
**The [[Random Toon|rando]] link on the navbar did not work.
**[[The King of Town DVD]], [[King of Town Main Page]] and anything linked from there looped at the end instead of stopping.
***Additionally, [[Revenge of the King]] seems to have had a similar fate to TROGDOR! (with the broken screen), except you could not hurt The King of Town, nor did he shoot at you. The timer also didn't work.
**On the [[Decemberween Email Menu]], none of the Easter eggs worked.
**The buttons on [[Downloads]] didn't work.
**The [[Telebision Toons Menu]] didn't work.
**On any [[Strong Bad Email]]s featuring the [[Tandy 400]] or the [[Compy 386]], the contrast buttons didn't work. This includes the Easter eggs in [[gimmicks]]. The ripples on the [[Lappy 486]] appeared and disappeared much faster than normal, and did not stay if the mouse button was held down.
**In any of the [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]] Games, none of them worked right. There was no possible way to score on any of them.
**In [[First Time Here?]], the number of takes never changed; the clapperboard always read "Roll 1, Scene 1, Take 1".
**The [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]]s never loaded.
**The number of messages on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] never changed.
*In [[Peasant's Quest]], Trogdor's voice didn't work.
**When the [[Kerrek]] is encountered, his tune did not play.
**Trying to kill [[Poor Gary]] proved unsuccessful.
*It seems that the text in the Quote of the Week wasn't bold, like before the 'flip'.
*Nothing in the [[Handheld Games Menu]] (except for [[Homestar Quiz]]), including itself, was fully playable.
**None of the buttons in the actual menu worked (except for "new games").
**None of the buttons in [[Dancin' Bubs]] worked.
**[[Homestar Talker]] did not lay out stars for each correct word, and never progressed to the Strong Bad Talker.
**Nothing but the bongos in [[Audition with Marzipan]] were playable.
**[[Bronco Trolleys]] was broken; you could click the "Play" button, but the timer didn't work and the ingredients were missing.
**Neither the text boxes nor the finished libs worked in [[Strong Libs]].
**[[Hairstyle Runner]] was playable, but many things were not visible because the top frame was off-center.
**The fortune cookies in [[Fortune Cookies]] did not work.

*[[Awexome Cross 98]]: When you lost all your lives, the game froze and you saw [[The Cheat]] spinning in the tire, but the background stayed still.
*The Storyboards and Deleted Scenes in "In Search of The Yellow Dello" did not work.
*When the pages were fixed early on the morning of April 2nd, the Main Page Navigation Bar fix was not initially repaired, leaving the main page right-side up, but the News button and Main Page numbers flipped.
*The musical t-shirts from the [[Store]] were put in a upside down box at the bottom of the page with its light blue background as a border.

===Fixed Glitches===
[[Image:Main 16 from 2001.PNG|thumb|[[Main Page 16]]: Looking into the past?]]
* Originally, the "What's new" button on the main pages did not appear in the correct location and was right-side up. This was fixed shortly after the "feature's" release.
* The [[Strong Bad Email]] menu originally did not list any emails. This was also fixed.
* The Weeklies popups originally appeared right-side up, but were later fixed so that they would appear flipped like the rest of the site.
* Many of the rollover button effects on the Main Pages didn't work. In most cases, the speaker simply said the name of the button that is hovered over (without moving his lips) and no visual effects or other sounds would occur. This was later fixed.
* On [[Main Page 22]], the word "games" was not there. This was fixed later in the day.
* After the orientation reset on April 2, [[Main Page 16]] had a copyright date of 2001 overlaying the regular copyright notice. Homestar's scarf was missing, as were some trees in the background, suggesting that certain elements of the main page were from an older version. Homestar would still speak as normal, but no triggered animations would happen other than mouth movements and a visible wisp of Homestar's breath.

===Real-World References===
*The Flash file that causes the pages to be flipped contains the phrase "They call him Flipper", which is one of the lyrics to the [[Wikipedia:Flipper (1964 television)|Flipper]] theme song.

'''Release Date:''' Monday, February 25, 2008

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

'''Page Title:''' Marzipan's Answering Machine

== Transcript ==
=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, this is Marzipan. I'm currently drowning in the abyss, but please leave me a message anyway. ''{beep}''

=== Message 6 ===
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{angrily}'' Well, well, well, Miss Marzithang, any idea why Strong Bad's been goin' around calling me a "stankwad", or why the Bubs keeps referring to me as a "wad in the grass"? Hmm? Any idea? Maybe because you told everybody that my middle name is Wad?! That was supposed to be our secret! I thought we had a deal. Well, don't blame me if all the sudden your questionable voluntary surgery becomes public knowledge! The Wad is out!

=== Message 5 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hello, yes, middle of our conversation? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I just met with him. Oh yeah, he's ''real'' famous. Rich. Rich with money. How many? Five? Five's good. ''{whispering}'' Psst! Sorry, Marzipan. I had to perpetrate like I was talking, ''{normal volume}'' on account of this hot blonde thing walked by. Purple dress, broomstick style. Oh yeah, you're jealous. Yeah, what? No, he's ''half'' robot.

=== Message 4 ===
'''BUBS:''' Hey Marzipan, it's the Bubs. Say, uh, do you know any other women around here? I mean, you're not exactly my type, and I need somebody to go to the movies with. It's getting desperate! I'll take anything at this point— lady duck, lady pine cone, lady pillow. I gotta go to the movies with ''somebody''! So if you know of any kind of lady item, put in a good word for ol' Bubs. And tell 'em they'll get 10% off at the concession stand! ''{quickly, as the following words appear onscreen}'' Discount will not be honored!

=== Message 3 ===
'''COACH Z:''' ''{with hip-hop beat playing in background}'' Hey, yo, Marz-ay! Coach Z, all up in the stujo. Just cut my new record, want you to be a sassy high-pitched background singer on this new track! Maybe sing a-like: "Word of mouth!" Or maybe like we sampled you from an old '70s disca tape, and you say: "You ain't the type of man that you used to be!" Basically want to just get you up in the stujo, which is kind of a cardboard box, with a micoraphone in it, not plugged in. Uh... maybe like, disregard... that last part. I'm out, peace, love!

=== Message 2 ===
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, he says you're a face. Uh, a facewich. Like a face ''witch'', like rides a broomstick? Or a facewich like between two pieces of bread?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're a facewich and blow up your house.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{frustrated The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your nose! Blow up your nose.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Epsom salt?! The Cheat, are you sure that's the direction you wanna go with this prank call?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now, you're just gnawing on the phone. Gimme that! ''{gnawing noises stop}'' I'll show you how it's done. ''{quickly}'' Marzipan, this is Dean Prankcaller from the You're Gross Institute calling to ask you to come speak at our graduation ceremony. If you're interested, please walk into the bathroom and stare at your gross face until you make yourself puke. Thank you, the end, very much. ''{normally}'' Now that's a prank call! ''{more gnawing noises}'' Ugh...

=== Message 1 ===
'''QUESTIONABLE SURGEON:''' Mmmmmm yes, hello, Miss Marzipan. This is your questionable surgeon. We were just calling to ask if we could use the before and after photos from your ''{photos appear; the "before" photo shows Marzipan with a large nose and the "after" photo shows her as usual}'' questionable voluntary surgery in one of our advertisements ''{pronounced as "ad-VER-tiss-ments"}''. Yes, that's right, I pronounced it "ad-VER-tiss-ments".

== Transcript ==
=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, this is Marzipan. I'm currently drowning in the abyss, but please leave me a message anyway. ''{beep}''

=== Message 6 ===
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{angrily}'' Well, well, well, Miss Marzithang, any idea why Strong Bad's been goin' around calling me a "stankwad", or why the Bubs keeps referring to me as a "wad in the grass"? Hmm? Any idea? Maybe because you told everybody that my middle name is Wad?! That was supposed to be our secret! I thought we had a deal. Well, don't blame me if all the sudden your questionable voluntary surgery becomes public knowledge! The Wad is out!

=== Message 5 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hello, yes, middle of our conversation? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I just met with him. Oh yeah, he's ''real'' famous. Rich. Rich with money. How many? Five? Five's good. ''{whispering}'' Psst! Sorry, Marzipan. I had to perpetrate like I was talking, ''{normal volume}'' on account of this hot blonde thing walked by. Purple dress, broomstick style. Oh yeah, you're jealous. Yeah, what? No, he's ''half'' robot.

=== Message 4 ===
'''BUBS:''' Hey Marzipan, it's the Bubs. Say, uh, do you know any other women around here? I mean, you're not exactly my type, and I need somebody to go to the movies with. It's getting desperate! I'll take anything at this point— lady duck, lady pine cone, lady pillow. I gotta go to the movies with ''somebody''! So if you know of any kind of lady item, put in a good word for ol' Bubs. And tell 'em they'll get 10% off at the concession stand! ''{quickly, as the following words appear onscreen}'' Discount will not be honored!

=== Message 3 ===
'''COACH Z:''' ''{with hip-hop beat playing in background}'' Hey, yo, Marz-ay! Coach Z, all up in the stujo. Just cut my new record, want you to be a sassy high-pitched background singer on this new track! Maybe sing a-like: "Word of mouth!" Or maybe like we sampled you from an old '70s disca tape, and you say: "You ain't the type of man that you used to be!" Basically want to just get you up in the stujo, which is kind of a cardboard box, with a micoraphone in it, not plugged in. Uh... maybe like, disregard... that last part. I'm out, peace, love!

=== Message 2 ===
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, he says you're a face. Uh, a facewich. Like a face ''witch'', like rides a broomstick? Or a facewich like between two pieces of bread?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're a facewich and blow up your house.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{frustrated The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your nose! Blow up your nose.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Epsom salt?! The Cheat, are you sure that's the direction you wanna go with this prank call?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now, you're just gnawing on the phone. Gimme that! ''{gnawing noises stop}'' I'll show you how it's done. ''{quickly}'' Marzipan, this is Dean Prankcaller from the You're Gross Institute calling to ask you to come speak at our graduation ceremony. If you're interested, please walk into the bathroom and stare at your gross face until you make yourself puke. Thank you, the end, very much. ''{normally}'' Now that's a prank call! ''{more gnawing noises}'' Ugh...

=== Message 1 ===
'''QUESTIONABLE SURGEON:''' Mmmmmm yes, hello, Miss Marzipan. This is your questionable surgeon. We were just calling to ask if we could use the before and after photos from your ''{photos appear; the "before" photo shows Marzipan with a large nose and the "after" photo shows her as usual}'' questionable voluntary surgery in one of our advertisements ''{pronounced as "ad-VER-tiss-ments"}''. Yes, that's right, I pronounced it "ad-VER-tiss-ments".

'''The Trog-Cave''' is the cave [[Trogdor]] lives in. The cave is first seen in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], when it shows Trogdor burninating something and lightning strikes. Its first fully-explorable appearance is in [[Peasant's Quest]], where [[Rather Dashing]] confronts Trogdor. Unfortunately for him, this resulted in [[Glossary#B|burnination]]. [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor]] also live in the Trog-Cave. They each have their own part of the Trog-Cave.

The "real" Trog-Cave seen in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] might be a background of a cave or a computer graphic design of a cave. The Trogdor in the Trog-Cave is a puppet.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What would you like as if you were your own made up 
animal 
Sincerely, 
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish? {''The homestar lure starts "dancing".''}

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called...

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

:'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Steep prices and trees! ''{these words appear on the bottom of the screen as he says them}''

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights Strong Bad mentions on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the Lappy 486.
**In the hidden commentary for the email "[[invisibility]]," Mike said they give Strong Bad a new computer and that it should be a laptop named Lappy. Matt suggested Lappy 486.
*This email was sent in by HRWiki member [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
**Similarly, at the end of this email, Strong Bad refers to the Lappy 486 as the Paper's brother, but refers to it as female in later emails.
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few [[Decemberween#References to Christmas|references to Christmas]] on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*Strong Bad notices that he couldn't be on the dance when he's the fanglyfish, but fails to catch that he couldn't own a Sterrance for the same reasons.
===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.
*Right after the [[The Show]] Easter egg, one "do" from the back deck party can be heard.

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The fact that horns is the second accessory listed for the Monstrosity is a reference to [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad says his second wish would be horns.
*When Homestar greets Strong Bad's first animal, he says "I say there, Monstrosity," just as he does in [[The King of Town DVD]] when asking about the sheep. (i.e. "I say there, fair Blacksmith, ...)
*"Baby styles" and "Styles Upon Styles" are references to [[style]].

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

'''MIKE:''' So here we have the unveiling of Strong Bad's new computer after it was destroyed in the last episode.

'''MATT:''' Mike, what is a tumbleweed doing in Strong Bad's computer office?

'''MIKE:''' I can't— I can't even imagine.

'''MATT:''' Look, "Future Wars." Is that symbolic because this is the future of Strong Bad Emails?

'''MIKE:''' It's definitely symbolic. I thought about that for a long time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You didn't just think of some old game we used to have?

'''MIKE:''' No! Was that a game?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Future Wars? By Del— Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-feen"}''? Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-fine"}''?

'''MIKE:''' I was just kidding.

'''MATT:''' Oh. And a classy logo, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' —I might add.

'''MIKE:''' That comes to, um—

'''MATT:''' —Life.

'''MIKE:''' Comes to life, with the yellow wig on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]]}'' Strong Bad! Don't—! Stave it off! It's best time!

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

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

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

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

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. Wind can be heard, and a tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen,—

''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —came a man.

''{He sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A man with a plastic rectangle... I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER!

''{He unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dong...ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds—

''{The words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.)" appear in the top right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and features an impressive battery life—

''{The words "Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of one half of ten minutes.

''{The words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486—

''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails.

''{He types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: made up animal</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What would you like as if you were your own made up 
animal 
Sincerely, 
Spud Jr.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if..."'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{He stops typing.}'' All right, I'm done. ''{He clears the screen and resumes typing.}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three compound eyes (see [[animal#Goofs|Goofs]]), two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand, and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond and makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth. Homestar steps back, looking shocked. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everyone! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'', Pocket PCs...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, Baby Styles, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot...of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish? {The homestar lure starts "dancing".}

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. ''{He pronounces each letter of huuuuuudge, as if to say "huh-duh-juh."}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."}''

''{A large, pus-colored, gelatinous, bubbling creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eew! No. No Huuuuuudge. ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

''{Marzipan enters from the right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, wow! Look at the Huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge" again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um... How about...the red steckled elbermung?

''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no.

''{The lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...the pardack?

''{Some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, duck feet, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? ''{The pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called...

''{Cut to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance.

''{A blue creature with stick arms and legs, red hands, orange feet, angel wings, an orange tongue, buck teeth, and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

''{Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother!

''{The Paper begins to edge down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

''{It edges down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay!

''{It edges back a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, ah! Come on!

''{It edges down a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges!

''{It comes down a bit more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it!

''{It comes all the way down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny!

''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The Christmas lights Strong Bad mentions on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*The "lure" he mentioned is a feature of many different "fanglyfishes", including the [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|anglerfish]], in which the lure gives off a small amount of light in order to attract fish in close enough to its mouth in order to eat it. Note that only ''female'' anglerfishes have lures.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the Lappy 486.
**In the hidden commentary for the email "[[invisibility]]," Mike said they give Strong Bad a new computer and that it should be a laptop named Lappy. Matt suggested Lappy 486.
*This email was sent in by HRWiki member [[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]].
*The table has been re-drawn with thinner lines with no shadow along the back edge. The obvious differences can be seen with comparison to the table in "[[virus]]."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#future wars|future wars]]".

===Remarks===
*Since the [[Wikipedia:proboscis|proboscis]] is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks, and matching perfectly with the silhouetting from where Compy used to be. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and Compy used to occupy—which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The Lappy was plugged in after Strong Bad cut away from the speculations back to the [[computer room]].
*Strong Bad refers to [[The Paper]] as a male. (In the email [[invisibility]], the [[Tandy 400]] says that the ''printer'' is a female.)
**Similarly, at the end of this email, Strong Bad refers to the Lappy 486 as the Paper's brother, but refers to it as female in later emails.
*Strong Bad's mention of "Christmas lights" is one of the few [[Decemberween#References to Christmas|references to Christmas]] on the site, since [[Free Country, USA]] celebrates [[Decemberween]].
*Although Strong Bad usually only types what he is saying when his computer is visible, his voiceover for Sterrance's appearance is visible on the Lappy at the end of the email.
*The background "disco music" (used when Strong Bad is dancing on the back deck of the fanglyfish and in the dance club Easter egg) sounds similar to "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag.
*In the opening of the e-mail, when you see the silhouettes of the Compy and the keyboard, you can see the shadow of a connecting cable from the keyboard to the Compy, even though there was never a visible cord that plugged in the keyboard.
*Strong Bad notices that he couldn't be on the dance when he's the fanglyfish, but fails to catch that he couldn't own a Sterrance for the same reasons.
===Goofs===
*In the scene with Sterrance in Strong Badia, the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] are on the ''left'' side of Strong Badia.
*The first animal Strong Bad makes up has antlers, not horns.
*On the list of Strong Bad's animal options and accessories is "Segmented Eyes." The proper terminology for the multi-faceted eye found on many insects is "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eye]]." On the [[strongbad_email.exe]] [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] admit this goof and say that they found out about it by reading it "on [[Main Page|the wiki]]."
*In the [[The Show]] Easter egg, there is no back deck on the fangly fish.
*Right after the [[The Show]] Easter egg, one "do" from the back deck party can be heard.

===Inside References===
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The fact that horns is the second accessory listed for the Monstrosity is a reference to [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad says his second wish would be horns.
*When Homestar greets Strong Bad's first animal, he says "I say there, Monstrosity," just as he does in [[The King of Town DVD]] when asking about the sheep. (i.e. "I say there, fair Blacksmith, ...)
*"Baby styles" and "Styles Upon Styles" are references to [[style]].

===Real-World References===
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE].
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes. The sound was created on the Brothers Chaps' Casio keyboard, using the "Funny" preset. The first note is the lowest C, the second note a C one octave higher.
*Sterrance's feet look remarkably like the feet of Mickey Mouse.
*The way Strong Bad describes Lappy is in the style of many game shows.
*The Lappy's logo is a reference to the Apple Powerbook's logo.


*The word "color" in "'Several' color monitor" is the same font and color as the symbol for the Game Boy Color.
*"Babies Having Babies" is a 1988 hit by Terry Tate; as well as a [[IMDB:tt0088759|School Break Special]] on CBS in 1986.
*"Brother pitted against brother" is a term used to describe civil war. It originated in the Bible as a description of the end times.
* Styles Upon Styles is a reference to a lyric from "Buggin' Out", a song on the seminal 1991 album "[[Wikipedia:Low End Theory|The Low End Theory]]" by hip-hop group [[Wikipedia:A Tribe Called Quest|A Tribe Called Quest]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Starcade|Starcade]]'' is an early '80s game show where teams played arcade games to win one of their own. "Kevin" is a reference to Kevin McMahon, the show's announcer.

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

'''MIKE:''' So here we have the unveiling of Strong Bad's new computer after it was destroyed in the last episode.

'''MATT:''' Mike, what is a tumbleweed doing in Strong Bad's computer office?

'''MIKE:''' I can't— I can't even imagine.

'''MATT:''' Look, "Future Wars." Is that symbolic because this is the future of Strong Bad Emails?

'''MIKE:''' It's definitely symbolic. I thought about that for a long time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You didn't just think of some old game we used to have?

'''MIKE:''' No! Was that a game?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Future Wars? By Del— Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-feen"}''? Delphine ''{pronounces it, "Del-fine"}''?

'''MIKE:''' I was just kidding.

'''MATT:''' Oh. And a classy logo, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' —I might add.

'''MIKE:''' That comes to, um—

'''MATT:''' —Life.

'''MIKE:''' Comes to life, with the yellow wig on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]]}'' Strong Bad! Don't—! Stave it off! It's best time!

'''MIKE:''' So this is, of course, the background from "[[the show]]" email.

'''MATT:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' The game show background that I like so much.

'''MATT:''' Looks like it might be a prize that you win when you appear on the show.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I think that was very heavily inspired by when, uh, Kevin on ''Starcade'' is announcing the prizes on ''Starcade'', ''{Mike laughs}'' and so, I was like— What's that game? There was one that was a controller that they always did.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I—

'''MATT:''' I can't remember.

'''MIKE:''' A kind of joystick.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' A spud is, uh, is another word for a potato.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they probably know that already.

'''MIKE:''' Who's "they"?

'''MATT:''' Those watching— the viewers.

'''MIKE:''' I bet— I bet at least one person watching this didn't know that a spud was also a potato.

'''MATT:''' Well, that's probably a four-year-old—

'''MIKE:''' There you go, buddy. I just taught you something. Pay me later. Oh, we messed up here, like, he says "segmented eyes," but he actually has compound eyes.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh.

'''MIKE:''' Read that on the wiki.

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Goofs.

'''MATT:''' Goofs. That's a total goof. Strong Bad messed up, Mike. ''We'' knew our stuff.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. We did that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What is "segmented eyes" like?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Is that a made-up thing?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' I remember originally—

'''MIKE:''' "Segmented bodies."

'''MATT:''' The line said, "segmented eyes" and "segmented butt," but we cut out "segmented butt."

'''MIKE:''' That's too risqué. Too risky.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, look! The Cheat, out of nowhere! Look! There's ''my'' voice! There's the Cheat-whale.

'''MIKE:''' It must feel a little weir—

'''MATT:''' That Cheat-whale looks kinda like the Jaguar shark from ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou''.

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''MATT:''' This was before that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Before that.

'''MATT:''' Yes, see? We're suing Wes Anderson as we speak. ''{Mike laughs}'' Litigation Jackson is on the case. ''{Mike laughs}'' ''{Pause}'' Um... I think Powered by The Cheat-style thing should assist in Strong Bad Emails more often.

'''MIKE:''' Alright, let's do that for next week's email.

'''MATT:''' All— All— Calling all Powered by The Cheats. ''{Mike laughs}'' Sorry. That thing is gross, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is.

'''MATT:''' Look, it's like, look at the ground around it. It's greasing out everywhere.

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

'''MATT:''' It's really gross. That thing's ''as'' gross—

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

'''MATT:''' —if not grosser.

'''MIKE:''' He's happy, though.

'''MATT:''' —or more gross. And that thing has a Strong Sad leg coming out of it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, his mouth is kinda like, um, Neo's mouth in, uh, ''The Matrix'' when it closes up, and it becomes like...

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, GUI? ''{pronounced "gooey"}''

'''MIKE:''' GUI. GUI mouth.

'''MATT:''' Graphic user interface mouth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at little Sterrance!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, Sterrance!

'''MIKE:''' He appears on the cover of this very DVD on the back!

'''MATT:''' Um, will we ever see him again?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Very possibly not.

'''MATT:''' I remember, uh, some people thinking we were gonna ditch The Cheat after this email, that Sterrance was going to—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They really thought that Sterrance was gonna be the new sidekick for Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' He is pretty harsh to him. That'd be a sad way for The Cheat to go out. The Cheat ain't goin' out like that. Over the years, The Paper definitely has become more and more of a—

'''MIKE:''' A character.

'''MATT:''' It should have been on [[Everybody Everybody Poster|that big characters poster]] we made, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It definitely has a personality.
