JamesLucas: /* Could I? */

== Could I? ==

Is this where I request to do the transcript? [[User:Toonypie|Toonypie]]

I beleive it is. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 22:00, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
:You can't "request" a transcript. You just have to be lucky and do it before anyone else gets to it. If no one else has gotten to it, just plunk {{t|transcriptinprogress}} down on the appropriate section, and get to work. And ''keep'' working, or you'll lose your right to it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:09, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay fine, i'm new at this. You don't have bite my head off (Get on on my case about it, if you don't know the expression). {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 22:30, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Also, Who's working on the transcript anyway? I know it isn't me. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}}

''Nobody edit please :D Doing some homework then finishing.''
Huh? What in the— You can't do that!... can he? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:28, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Homework is a good call, but no dibs. Never fear, Toonypie, there'll be more transcripts in the future. [[User:JamesLucas|JamesLucas]] ([[User talk:JamesLucas|" "]] or [[Special:Contributions/JamesLucas|+]]) 00:30, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== ????! ==

<s>For the ????! I think he said laditlemen. This is another one of those, uh what's it called? Portmanteau, that's it. It's another portmanteau, because laditlemen is a combanation of "Ladies" and "Gentlemen", but i'm not exact on what he said. But it did sound like he said laditlemen. And if it is, i'd be happy to add it to the portmanteaus page. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 23:06, 10 November 2009 (UTC)</s>

Once a-craping-gain, nevermind that. But if noone added it to the page, i'll do it. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 23:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

:SUCCESS! Nobody beat me to adding it to portnateaus. So gentlemadies and ladentlemen, none of you have to worry 'bout that. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 23:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sings}'' Oh email, I'm gonna let you down easy... when I break up with you.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey Strong Bad, 
Get Bubs to give out free luncch 
specials and I'll show you a hot girl. 
 
Sincerly, 
Someone</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Hmm. Sounds like a solid deal!" after "hot girl." He pronounces "luncch" as "lunkch" and pronounces "sincerly" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I hate it when they don't put a name. And when they misspell "sincerely." "Luncch" ''{pronounced as before}'' doesn't bother me so much.

''{Strong Bad backspaces and erases the last two lines, then types out two new ones and reads them.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Keep on tranglin, 
Larry Pat</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Well Larry, legend has it that Bubs has to give you a free lunch special if you can get him to say his name backwards - minus the first b. "Sbu." You have to get him to say, "Sbu." How hard could that be, right? I mean, I'm saying "sbu" all the time. This'll be a cakewalk. At least a sbu-walk.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. A sign that reads "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice—Smoothies Too!" is hanging over the "Bubs' Concession Stand" marquee. Bubs is inside holding a chicken in one arm and wiping it with a cloth. Strong Bad enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{sings}'' Shinin' up a chicken in the mo'nin', mo'nin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs... Read this sign for me. ''{holds up a sign}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{He squints at the sign, then reads slowly.}'' "Duck A L'Orange."

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{He spins the sign around and reads it. Indeed, it says, "Duck A L'Orange." He produces a walkie-talkie.}'' The Cheat, I thought I told you to make it say "sbu"!

''{The screen splits down the center. On the right is Strong Bad. On the left is The Cheat, who also has a walkie talkie and is sitting next to Strong Bad's computer. A piece of paper pinned to the back wall says "Home Base" and has a Strong Badified skull and crossbones drawn on it.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{assorted The Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you really want some duck a l'orange, huh? You know we can't afford to eat like that! ''{He looks to the side, then puts his hand near his mouth to hide his voice.}'' Aren't you a duck anyways?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. You kinda remind me of a duck...

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. Strong Bad enters holding a mirror.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubbsie! Say your name into this mirror. ''{He holds up the mirror.}''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hold on. ''{He puts the mirror closer to Bubs's face.}'' Okay, say it again. Say it ''real'' clear this time.

'''BUBS:''' ''{slower}'' Buh-ubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this thing is worthless!

''{Strong Bad smashes the mirror on the ground and walks away.}''

''{Fade to black again. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. This time, Coach Z is there ordering something.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down, a couple of egg rolls... ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and speaks forcefully.}'' ...and a cod plank platter!

'''BUBS:''' You got it!

''{Strong Bad walks up and throws a hose into the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting off to the side}'' All right, The Cheat! Crank it! ''{water starts pouring through the hose}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Can I help you?

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he's flooding you out. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out! 
''{They stop and stare at each other.}''

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm floo— 
''{They stop and stare at each other again, and Strong Bad puts his hand in front of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out until you say your name backwards minus the first B!

'''BUBS:''' Why are you trying to get me to say "sbu"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' THERE! You said it! Now you gotta give me a free lunch special!

'''BUBS:''' ''{shakes his head}'' No, no, no. Getting me to say my name backwards minus the B just makes me lose my super power!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What super power?

'''BUBS:''' Being able to fly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can fly?!

'''BUBS:''' Well... ''{He hangs his head down.}'' Not anymore I can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right.

'''BUBS:''' Eh, I never really used it all that much. Since I gained all this weight, I could really only hover a couple two or three inches above the ground anyways.

''{Coach Z slams his hands to the countertop and looks around and speaks frantically.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter?!?

''{Back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm pretty sure Bubs is a big liar, but I did get him to say his name backwards minus the first B. So now you gotta show me a hot girl, Larry Pat. Or, buy me lunch. Or... whatever the deal was. I'll just go ahead and sit here and wait for the hot girl to appear on my screen, I guess. ''{stops typing, speaks quietly}'' Not like I got a whole lot else going on...mmm.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Seven seconds later, the computer beeps and a new e-mail scrolls up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, an email!

''{Strong Bad reads the email, talking slowly and pronouncing each word just as it is written.}''

<blockquote class="email">Deur Strond bad, 
I hava a emau] n ow. Cheet helps. 
 
Stlong Mad 
 
''attachment''</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, looks like ol' Strong Mad has finally hit the Information Superhighway like a flaming sack o' crap. Oh, and there's an attachment! Maybe he sent me a picture of a hot girl. [[Image:dinosaurbreakfast.PNG|thumb|A fairly hot Brontosaurus.]]

''{Strong Bad double-clicks on the word "attachment" underneath the email. A very poorly drawn picture of a dinosaur standing by a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of orange juice, all in front of a volcano, pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' An MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus having breakfast. ''{ends monotone}'' Well... It's a fairly hot Brontosaurus anyhow! ''{talking softly}'' Well hey, what's happenin' Brontosaurus baby... What are you doing—Okay I gotta get out of the house!

''{Strong Bad gets up and runs away.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Cheatsmile1.PNG|thumb|"...do dooo dooo dooooo..."]]
*Click on the words "Larry, legend" to see a screenshot of the game [[Wikipedia:Jordan vs Bird: One on One|''Jordan vs. Bird: One-on-One'']] for the [[Nintendo|NES]].
*After the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word "Bubs" to see The Cheat lounging in the flooded concession stand as [[The Brothers Chaps]] sing to the tune of "[[Wikipedia:Aloha 'Oe|Aloha 'Oe]]".
*Also after the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''liar'' to see Bubs hovering above the ground:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh man, that is so fake. Seriously. You can totally see the strings!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:Information superhighway|Information Superhighway]] was a term used to refer to the Internet up until the early 1990s.

===Trivia===
*When The Cheat is next to the Compy 386, it reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Kickin' Recipes For 
Duck A L'Orange 
 
- 1 orange duck 
- 2 oranges 
- 3 frenchies 
- 4 ovens 
- 5 heats 
- 6 coupons 
 
Go to Captain D's 
Order the Snow C 
Tell your friends 
really Duck A L' 
It'll work!</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*This is another case of the Compy 386 acquiring a mouse cursor, despite the fact that it does not have a mouse and no cursor is normally seen.
*The Brontosaurus has actually been renamed [[Wikipedia:Apatosaurus|Apatosaurus]].
*Strong Mad's email contains a use of The Cheat's name without the [[integral article]]. However, this is likely due to Strong Mad's poor grammar skills.

===Goofs===
*The MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus eating breakfast is not affected by the contrast buttons. However, the screen behind it is.
*When Strong Bad angrily throws the mirror at the ground, Bubs's reflection can still be seen in the mirror, but with no body.
*The hose's shadow in the "floating" Easter egg does not expand when the hose expands.
*When Bubs is holding the notepad (taking Coach Z's order), the paper folded to the back is from behind the rest of pages instead of in front of them.
*When Strong Bad is holding the mirror, it shows the sky behind Bubs in the reflection,yet the background really should be bricks.

===Inside References===
*The author of the email seems to be referring to the lunch specials at the end of [[no loafing]].
*The [[Cold One]] that The Cheat is lounging with in the Easter egg is a Coldson Lite, first seen in [[labor day]].
*This e-mail marks the second time The Cheat has been mistaken for a bird of some kind, the other being in [[helium]], in which Homestar identified the floating, helium-filled The Cheat as "an ugly bird."
*In [[big white face]], the runcode for the pixelated Bubs image Strong Bad brings up is "Bu-Hubs", which is how Bubs "clearly pronounces" his name in this email.
*This is another appearance of [[flying]].
*Coach Z orders his double hot wings [[pants]] down.

===Real-World References===
*The "Larry, legend" Easter egg refers to [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]], a former player for the [[Wikipedia:Boston Celtics|Boston Celtics]]. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest [[Wikipedia:NBA|NBA]] players ever and is often referred to as "Larry Legend" by his fans.
*Getting Bubs to say his name backwards (minus the first 'B') sounds like a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Mr. Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]], a mischief-making villain from the Superman comics. In order to get the reality-warping imp to go back to his home dimension, Superman had to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards.
*The [[Wikipedia:walkie-talkie|walkie-talkies]] used by Strong Bad and The Cheat are World War II portable radios.
*[[Wikipedia:Captain D's|Captain D's]] is a chain of fast-food stores that sells seafood.
*[[Wikipedia:MS Paint|MS Paint]] is a small utility that ships with [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].

===Fast Forward===
*The word "sbu" shows up in Strong Bad's list of 3-letter words in [[boring (really)#Fun Facts|boring (really)]].
*In [[the facts]], Strong Mad shows his love for [[dinosaurs]] again through [[Doug the Dino]].
*In [[Strongest Man in the World]], the picture Strong Bad gives Homestar is signed at first as "Strond Ba...", almost the same as Strong Mad's email.

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

'''RYAN:''' I think we're ready.

'''MATT:''' um, what do you guys think of this proposition—

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made this email, guys. Matt and I made this cartoon. What do you think?

'''RYAN:''' I think you guys are...you got something.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' I'm not afraid to say that you guys are very good.

''{Mike laughs again}''

'''RYAN:''' Keep on "keepin' on". Keep on.

'''MIKE:''' Keepin' on? Keep on.

'''RYAN:''' That was a ''Family Ties'' slogan.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' They had like—

'''MIKE:''' Really? Nice.

'''RYAN:''' ''Nick At Night'' showed a bunch in a row.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''RYAN:''' And all the commercials are "keep on keepin' on"

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' That's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna be impressed if they had done that back in [[1987]] or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh it was on retro stuff or retrothon like that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh so super Chinese—

'''MIKE:''' super Chinese fish buffalo rice is pretty much...There was a place by the Braves Stadium that we were driving by one time. And there are several restaurants around Atlanta that are—

'''MATT:''' It's a trend, I think, in all metro areas.

'''MIKE:''' —like buffalo wings. Chinese food and—

'''MATT:''' there's one that was called "Philly", "Philly...", "Philly...wing", "Philly wing rice". "Philly wing fish" I think, and underneath it said it says "Chinese food".

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' So, yeah, we were missing "Philly cheese steaks" because that seems to be...that seems to be a part. It's just wings, Chinese food, Philly cheese steaks, fish, fried fish, rice.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up—

'''RYAN:''' Fried chicken.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up.

'''MATT:''' I'm in.

'''MIKE:''' MMMmmm.

'''MATT:''' That sounds good. Gravy?

'''RYAN:''' Cod plank platter—

'''MATT:''' Let's go for lunch today, guys. We haven't had lunch today yet. Let's go get a cod plank platter

'''RYAN:''' What is a cod plank platter? I had to ask—

'''MATT:''' ''{different voice}'' Back to Red Lobster, boys.

''{Everyone laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Red Lobster Friday!

'''RYAN:''' Uh—

'''MATT:''' Uh, so were you gonna comment on how great that uh, hose thing towards the camera was, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''RYAN:''' I like it.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna wonder about how long you spent—

'''MATT:''' Probably two to three hours while you finished the rest of the email—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, this is the point of contention that whenever Matt leaves the room, Mike always complains about how, how detailed the animations are.

'''MIKE:''' It's good—

'''MATT:''' We're trying to finish. It's three in the morning. Isn't that good?

'''MIKE:''' It is good.

'''RYAN:''' Quality artwork.

'''MIKE:''' It's good ''now''.

'''RYAN:''' yeah. It's not good—

'''MIKE:''' At four in the morning on Sunday. I'd rather you make a really crappy—looking hose. ''{laughs}''. Oh, by the way, this one— it's not gonna be on the commentary, but the Easter egg on this one where it shows The Cheat floating inside—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' right, Bubs' Concession Stand on the inner tube. That is, by far, my favorite Easter egg or just scene that still just looks like— nice ripples.

'''MATT:''' It's your fine—

'''MIKE:''' It's so relaxing.

'''MATT:''' It's your finest moment. It's almost as relaxing as, yeah, as—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Taking a break.

'''MIKE:''' Awww, that makes me depressed for Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' and me.

''{pause}''

'''RYAN:''' And me?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We still going here? ''{cough}''

'''RYAN:''' This might be a delayed—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' oh, look at that!

'''MATT:''' This is that one where we've got this whole part where it's Stlong Mad—

'''MIKE:''' The Uh...

'''RYAN:''' Great MS Paint drawing.

'''MIKE:''' —Dinosaur. I wanted to keep doing this, like have, you know, weekly or semi—weekly feature of Strong Mad's bad MS Paint drawings.

'''RYAN:''' You got a lot of images we could put on there. Isn't that on the DVD, where there was extra emails? This is from that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, here it is. Here's 102B. ''{laugh}'' Look at that thing! That thing's amazing.

'''RYAN:''' People have their own versions of that drawing.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' People still use MS Paint.

'''RYAN:''' A lot.

'''MATT:''' and see this is even more depressing. Strong Bad starts hitting on that MS Paint Brontosaurus

'''MIKE:''' Good lookin'

'''MATT:''' A low point for Strong Bad—

'''RYAN:''' —Is that OJ?

'''MATT:''' So he runs off.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

:wow, you've done a great job so far {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 15:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Anyone that has this DVD, are there commentaries (new or old?) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 22:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
:Somebody, please answer this! [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 01:30, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, there is. Every e-mail has commentary, and all of the ones that had commentary on the old dvds have the same commentary, and the ones that didn't were given new commentary. [[User:TheTylor|TheTylor]] 19:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

== sbemail 200 ==

I just thought it was interesting that all of the rollover easter eggs at the end of [[email thunder]] are sbemails that made it onto the 50 Greatest Hits DVD, except for [[homsar]] and [[ghosts]]. Not interesting enough for a fun fact or remark on the page though, so I just thought I'd paste it here. [[User:TheTylor|TheTylor]] 19:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:That's cool, but since two of the emails did not make it, you're right, it's definitely not notable. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

== Clumsyman ==

Just out of curiosity, where does the name "Clumsyman" come from? Was that coined by a user here, or is there an "official" name for him? I have no problem with the name, Just curious. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 15:00, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:I think its a generic name given to the characters in those shameless commercials by the producers as they do not have a name. Just as a sidenote, see how that lady at the start of the GoDuster commercials (this may just be in Australia) always drops the hundreds of different dusters noone has? {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 08:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Do this DVD also have a jacket picture? Is it the same as [[:Image:DVD5Pausescreen.png|DVD 5 & 6]]? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

== Fan favorites? ==

While the emails seem well-chosen in my book, I'm curious about how emails came to be selected as "fan favorites." Page views on the site? Voting on a fan website?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up. —talk to you today about an exciting career in... ''{dramatically, zooms out to reveal a floor-mounted fan, which is blowing his cape back}'' SPACE TRAVEL!

'''STRONG MAD''': BOOR-ING!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Did you bring us any candy, police-fire-man?

'''HOMSAR:''' You bring the dip, I'll mow the side yard!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now, without further you talking, some moving images to distract you long enough for your teacher to take a nap, drink, or smoke-break.

''{Movie Projector begins rolling, partially overlapping Strong Bad, who moves out of the way. Closeup onto film. It shows a title frame reading "SBASAF Propaganda Presents"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' SBASAF Propaganda presents—

''{The film jump-cuts to a similar title screen, only with "Indoctrination Films" in place of "Propaganda".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —ASAF Indoctrination Films proudly—

''{The film jump-cuts again. "Indoctrination" has been replaced with "Mind-Control".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —AF Mind Control Films—

''{Another jump-cut, and now "Mind-Control" has been replaced by "Edumacational". For the rest of the toon, the announcer's voice sounds a little different.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —SBASAF Edumacational Films presents: What's your Captainface?

''{Title appears, and a stylized cartoony-looking image of Strong Bad's head as Space Captainface flops onto it and pushes the letters aside. Cut to a line drawing of a large-headed child.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Kids, have you ever wondered who that mysterious man in the picture you mother hides under her pillow is?

''{The child imagines the picture being hidden under his mother's pillow. He smiles expectantly, but then frowns as the announcer continues.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Noooo-hohohohooo, it's not your real father!

''{Strong Bad, still stylized, walks behind the child. As the child is not colored in, he appears through the lines. He bumps the child offscreen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Why, it's SBASAF's First Lieuteneral Space Captainface! But what IS a Space Captainface? And what does it do? Mmm, ''{record scratch}'' let me get back to you on that one.

''{Change of scene to a launch pad with a rocket next to a gantry}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Blast-off Day. ''{the words appear in the lower part of the screen}'' And Space Captainface anxiously awaits the all-clear from Mission Control, along with his trusty on-board mechanic and college roommate, Strap Coopmore!

''{Scene changes to the inside of the rocket, where Space Captainface and Strap Coopmore (played by a stylized The Cheat) are sitting facing upward. In the upper corner near Strap, there is a red button labeled "button"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Great Planets, Strap! What's taking so long? That spy satellite the insidious Italian Space Program put into orbit ain't gonna knock itself out!

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

''{Static noise; a green glow appears from the panel near Strong Bad's hands.}

'''TED AVERILL:''' Come in, Space Captainface. This is Mission Control. ''{cut to outside of rocket panning upward from the ground}'' Space Captainface, do you read?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah. ''{cut back to inside the rocket}'' I've been talking to you all ding-dang-dong morning, Flight Engineer Ted Averill ''{pronounces name as one word}''! What's the hold-up?

''{Cut to a close-up of the lower part of Ted Averill's face with monitors and buttons behind it}''

'''TED AVERILL:''' We're ready to initiate pre-launch talks about whether or not we should start ''{zoom out to a shot showing all of Averill's head and upper torso and more of the Mission Control room}'' the initial pre-pre-launch breakfast sandwiches—

''{Cut back to inside the rocket}''

'''TED AVERILL:''' ''{over the radio}'' followed by... ''{his words are covered by Strong Bad's interruption}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' I say "Meteors!" to all your pre-launchery. ''{to The Cheat}'' T-minus the heck out of Dodge, Strap!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises. Salutes and pushes the button}''

''{Cut to a view of the bottom of the rocket, whose engines flare up and emit smoke. Cut to a more distant view of the rocket, which launches, causing the gantry to tip over a few degrees. Cut back to Ted Averill in Mission Control.}''

'''TED AVERILL:''' ''{continuing from before; as he speaks, the gantry completely falls over on his monitor}''—agreed on the design for the back of the official mission T-shirts w—oh, mostly dang. Looks like I'm fired again. ''{pushes a button which turns off his monitor.}''

''{Cut to a view of the sky}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Breaking the rules ''{the words appear at the top of the screen}'' is just one of Space Captainface's ''{the rocket enters from the bottom of the screen and proceeds to the top}'' many job responsibilities. And let's not forget bucking the system, ''{the words appear below "Breaking the rules"}'', rabble-rousing ''{the words appear below "Bucking the system"}'' and assaulting superior officers. ''{the words appear below "Rabble-rousing". The rocket, now more distant, enters from the left and exits above.}''

''{Cut to a scene in space with Earth below (the United States is visible in the middle of the ocean) and a satellite floating close to the camera}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Space! Defined by scientists as the coolest place in the universe to throw up. ''{A high puking noise is heard; the word "BLARF!" in green letters zooms to the foreground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, nice one, Strap!

''{Cut to the inside of the rocket, where Strong Bad and the Cheat are now floating; there is also a brown blob of puke with green and orange specks. The Cheat is somewhat green in color and is otherwise visibly nauseated.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That one looks like the MacAlpine Nebula! ''{a red light in the corner flashes and a siren sounds}'' Great Planets! We must be approaching the spy satellite. Suit up, Strap. ''{fade out}''

''{Cut to the a view of the hull of the rocket in space; a door opens and Strong Bad emerges in a space suit, followed by the Cheat, whose entire body is in a space helmet.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Second in importance only to his aftershave is a Space Captainface's new-type space suit. ''{cut to a diagram of Strong Bad's space suit}'' It's the only thing protecting his sweet can ''{cut to a picture of Strong Bad's rear in space, various yellow particles are flying around, some of which bounce off Strong Bad's rear}'' from the harmful effects of the mysterious cosmic rays! ''{the words appear and zoom forward}''

''{Cut to a view of a satellite bearing the Italian flag floating in space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Space downs!

''{Cut to a closeup of the Italian flag on the satellite.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They have a spy camera pointing directly at Strong Badia. ''{A round section of the Italian flag peels away to reveal a camera whose lens shows a reflection of Strong Badia.}''

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad floating through space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ready with the counter-intelligence. ''{Gets out a photograph. Cut to a close-up of the photograph, which has a smiley face sticking out its tongue and the words "oh, just nothing" scrawled on it.}''

''{Cut back to the camera; Strong Bad sticks the photo onto its lens. Cut to a view of Strong Bad floating forwards and away from the satellite.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Those superior bicycle makers will never find out our cheat codes and barbecue sauce recipes now, Strap! ''{looks to the side}'' Strap?

''{Cut to a view of The Cheat floating toward an hourglass-shaped satellite with the words "The Bikini Channel" on it.}''

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

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad's face; he is visibly annoyed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strap!

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad's suit again; "the end" is written in his helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs as film ends}''

'''MARIZPAN:''' ''{moves in front of the projector, annoyed}'' Homestar, is there something you'd like to add?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm, teacher, if spaceman makes bafroom in his pants, ''{zoom out to view all the Life Blossoms}'' does he go boom? ''{Homestar, Strong Mad and Homsar laugh.}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, you little worse-than-homeschoolers! Show some respect! What kind of question is that to ask a Strong Badian hero? ''{zoom in on Strong Bad's head}'' Spaceman make bafroom in his pants ''{covers his mouth as he starts to laugh on the last word, he continues laughing from this point on}'' does he go boom? Actually, a pretty funny question, now that I think about it at length.

''{Cut back to the life blossoms, still laughing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've often wondered myself what—what would happen if I was ''{cut back to Strong Bad}'' to make bafroom ''{laughs harder}'' in my pants! I might go boom!

''{Cut back to the diagram of Strong Bad's suit; this time it says "boom" in his helmet.}''

Strong Bad Email Statistics

JamesLucas — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:47:28 GMT

JamesLucas: /* Strong Bad Email length */ grammar correction

[[Image:NoLoafingPieChart.png|thumb|No Loafing!]]

With more and more [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]] released on [[homestarrunner.com]], it is hard to keep track of all the '''statistics''', such as which computer was used the most, or how the length of emails has increased throughout the years. To correctly calculate those numbers, a few charts and graphs have been made for the ease of the people who like to know ''everything'' about [[Strong Bad]] and his emails.

==Strong Bad Email length==
This section involves data taken from the list [[Strong Bad Email By Length]].
[[Image:SBEScatter.png|thumb|200px|left|A scatter plot of chronological number vs. length, with outliers.]]
[[Image:SBEScatter2.png|thumb|200px|right|A scatter plot of chronological number vs. length, without outliers.]]

The scatter plot to the left illustrates the relationship between the e-mail number and its corresponding length (the red plots for the original length, and the black plots including the Easter Eggs). This can be mathematically modeled using a power regression curve, which allows us to measure the trend for e-mail duration as well as predict the ongoing trend for future e-mails. The ''R²'' value for these curves identifies how strong this relationship is (how close the points are to the model): a value of 1 means that the model and the data is identical, while a -1 means that the model does not relate to the data at all. The equation for the black curve is y = 0.0002513x0.4746 and the equation for the red curve is y = 0.0002467x0.4593.

There are certain e-mails, however, whose lengths were much longer than the e-mails surrounding them, called ''outliers''. These e-mails can affect the accuracy of the model and, if removed, can allow for greater accuracy. The graph on the right has the outliers removed, which subsequently improves the ''R²'' value for the curves. The black curve's equation becomes y = 0.0002512x0.4717 and the red equation becomes y = 0.0002466x0.4565. Of course, it should be noted that these models are by no means a guaranteed guess; e-mail 500, for example, is unlikely to be over six and a half minutes long, as this model predicts.

In the email [[theme song]], Strong Bad tells his viewers that each email is about 3 to 5 minutes long. Approximately 51% of all e-mails released as of [[being mean]] fall in this range.

==Strong Bad Email by era==
[[Image:bar_graph_by_length.PNG|thumb|200px|left|"The newer, the longer"]]
[[Image:pie_graph_by_era.PNG|thumb|200px|right|The [[Compy 386]] has thus far been the longest era.]]

This section involves data on the computer used to answer each email, or the "era" of the computer. The categories are [[Tandy 400]], Broken Tandy, [[Compy 386]], [[Lappy 486]], and Other ([[Pom Pilot]], [[Tangerine Dreams]], and [[Corpy NT6]].)

{{clear}}

==Total time spent using each computer==
[[Image:Sbemails total length per computer.png|computer|thumb|250px|left|Total length of Strong Bad Emails per computer]]

This section involves data taken from the Strong Bad Email by Length page. The chart recognizes four categories of computers: Tandy 400 (includes Broken Tandy), Lappy 486, Compy 386, and Other.

{{clear}}

==Strong Bad Emails featuring more than one email==
Several Strong Bad Emails feature more than one email.
* [[credit card]] — After checking his email, Strong Bad sends an email to, and gets a reply from, [[Homestar Runner]].
* [[spring cleaning]] — Strong Bad checks five emails and promptly deletes each one.
* [[strongbad_email.exe]] Bonus Email #2 [[E-mail Birds]] — Strong Bad answers three emails on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]].
* [[sisters]] — Strong Bad accidently deletes the first email he gets and later receives a [[Poorly Written Emails|poorly written one]].
* [[50 emails]] — Strong Bad checks two emails (and begins to check another before [[Homestar Runner]] arrives and "answers" another two).
* [[huttah!]] — The first five emails Strong Bad checks all show particular interest in [[The Cheat]] (he deletes them). The last two are all directed to Strong Bad, but he attempts to fool The Cheat into thinking they're for him.
* [[personal favorites]] — In addition to the main email, Strong Bad is seen answering 4 emails in fake flashbacks (two in the main toon, two in Easter eggs).
* [[2 emails]] — Jimmy suggests Strong Bad check two emails a week and he does. He can also be seen checking a third email during the fast-forwarding.
* [[lunch special]] — After checking his email, Strong Bad receives another one from [[Strong Mad]].
* [[cheatday]] — After Strong Bad checks his email, he lets The Cheat check another three emails.
* [[other days]] — In addition to the main email, Strong Bad answers a Polish email (and a snail mail).
* [[dreamail]] — Strong Bad makes up an additional email and answers it.
* [[do over]] — Strong Bad re-answers two old emails.
* [[bottom 10]] — Strong Bad receives an email with large numbers of "Fwd:" and "Re:" in the subject line, as an example of #8 on his bottom 10.
* [[lady...ing]] — Strong Bad remembers an older email.
* [[theme song]] — Strong Bad can be seen answering an email in one of the theme song montages.
* [[retirement]] — Strong Bad answers an email on each of his first two computers.
* [[the chair]] — Strong Bad answers a second email, but his [[Le Restige|new chair]] obstructs almost the entire screen of the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] while he does so.

==Intervals between Strong Bad Emails==
[[Image:sb_email_frequency.png|thumb|200px|right|A column graph showing the intervals between Strong Bad Emails.]]

Strong Bad Emails are released at varying frequencies. The graph on the right shows the number of days in between the release of an email.
Here is a summary of the data:
* Mean: 11.45 days
* Median: 7 days
* Mode: 7 days — 69 emails came out 7 days after the previous release
* Minimum: 1 day — There was 1 day between the releases of [[retirement|retirement A]] and [[retirement|retirement B]].
* Maximum: 71 days — There were 71 days between the releases of [[halloweener]] and [[brianrietta]]

''Note: Data are not complete. Reliable dates are not available for [[homsar]], [[butt IQ]], [[homestar hair]], [[making out]], and [[depressio]]. These data are as of October 4, 2006.

==Other information==
*41% of all emails have no location given; 2% have no return sender at all.
*The average email is 1.81 sentences long; the average cartoon is 152.82 seconds long.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] most frequently choose emails with sender names starting with J or S. Together these senders make up a whopping 26.75% of all emails. This may be an indicator of popular names in the world, not an indication of TBC preference.
*Only 18% of all emails are longer than two sentences. Only one email longer than four sentences has ever been used.
* There are eight substantiated claims of Strong Bad answering an email from a HRWiki or HRWiki forum user. These emails are [[montage]] (sent by [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]]), [[animal]] (sent by [[User:Kerrek slaya|Kerrek slaya]]), [[portrait]] (sent by [[User:NachoMan|NachoMan]]), [[space program]] (sent by [http://forum.hrwiki.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2807 Ryan Sturmer]), [[cliffhangers]] (sent by [[User:Cessna Man!|Cessna Man!]]), [[underlings]] (sent by [[User:PlasticDiverGuy|PlasticDiverGuy]]), [[the paper]] (sent by [[User:Thewi2kbug|Thewi2kbug]]), and [[slumber party]] (sent by [[User:ThomasO|ThomasO]]).

Talk:Homestar Ruiner

JamesLucas — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 11:47:27 GMT

JamesLucas: /* Number of pages */ idea for moving trailer transcripts

== Balloon Manimals ==

Could it be a refererence to NBC's short-lived [[Wikipedia:Manimal|Manimal]] TV show? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:Are you talking about [[shapeshifter]]? {{User:Lazylaces/sig}} 00:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
::No, I'm talking about the part pf this game's preview where Homestar says balloon manimals will appear at his party. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 01:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Copy/Paste ==

Umm... this is exactly the description from the Teltale Games website. Shouldn't this be... original? It looks really bad when it's made with a couple right clicks.

-[[User:Ben Again|Yeah, it's me.]]

Well, they know better than we do. When the actual episode is put up, will probably put a more fitting explanation on the page. --{{User:DevonM/sig}} 00:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

:Is it really word-for-word? Yeah, I agree that we should try to summarize the plot rather than repeat the same paragraph verbatim. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, I did my best to {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homestar_Ruiner&diff=563664&oldid=563663 write a different summary}}... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Places ==

Should there be a places line like other toon articles? Just wondering. (Obvious place is the track field.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Let's wait until we know all the places in the game. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 01:27, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Which butt? ==

The [[butt]] link goes to a disambiguation page. Which article should this link to? --[[User:70.143.29.70|70.143.29.70]] 02:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if it should link to anything in this case. Is linking to twees is good enough? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 02:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
::I'd think so. --[[User:70.143.29.70|70.143.29.70]] 02:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Change "announcement"? ==

For some reason, when i read this, I thought the game was announced early for some reason. Would we be able to have "gameplay trailer" for this instead? --[[User:70.143.29.70|70.143.29.70]] 02:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:Hm, we certainly don't want to mislead people. Better {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template:whatsnew&curid=7353&diff=563696&oldid=563693 now}}? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
::What about "preview"? --[[User:70.143.29.70|70.143.29.70]] 11:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Which PP? ==

PP could refer to either [[Pom Pom]] or [[Peacey P]], couldn't it? {{User:Mee/sig}} 07:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:Or [[Pan Pan]]. Or Peter Parker, the Pied Piper, Power Points, PowerPoint, PayPal... (And [[Wikipedia:PP|more]]!) Pom Pom is the most likely, because he's a main character. Also, his character video uses <code>vcr_pp</code> as part of its URL (and Coach Z's uses <code>vcr_cz</code>). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, but Coach Z and Peacey P are seen together more often than Coach Z and Pom Pom. There's more of an affiliation between the two. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 11:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:::On the contrary, Coach Z and Peacey P have been seen together once. But since they're main characters, any toon that includes all main characters necessarily includes Coach Z and Pom Pom, frequently at the same time. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I see what you mean. I'm just saying that Coach Z would probably be more likely to hang out with Peacey P than with Pom Pom.[[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 19:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::You also have to consider which of the two characters would be more likely to compete in a Free Country USA sporting event: [[A Jumping Jack Contest|Pom Pom]], or Peacey P. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Toad Weasel ==

What exactly does Homestar say before he kicks the phone? Even though it's not too much of sense make, I think he said "play of the low-lynched-toad weasel" --[[User:70.143.29.70|70.143.29.70]] 22:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm prooty sure that's what he said, now that I hear it again. --[[User:Das654|Das654]] 19:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:It's "plight of the low-lands toad weasel". Hooray for the in-game subtitles! --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Illegal op? ==

When I access the Telltale page linked at the bottom, I get an error along the lines of "The Shockwave plugin performed an illegal operation. You are strongly urged to restart Firefox." Anyone else? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:OMIGOSH THE MUNICIPALITY IS COMING! RUN, QERMAQ, RUN!!! Maybe update Flash? Check for a new version of Firefox? I dunno. I can view it just fine in Firefox. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
:Any specifics on the error? Or is it just that message? --[[User:70.143.29.70|70.143.29.70]] 00:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
::With an illegal op? Unlikely. If you're lucky, you can find out what DLL the error happened in, but even then you'd have to dig hard for it. I'm with Jay... uninstall/reinstall Shockwave and Flash. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Thanks, guys. Actually, a computer restart fixed it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
== Transcript ==
Hey guys...should we ''really'' put the transcript out here? Couldn't we make a page that's just like "Homestar Ruiner Gameplay Video Transcript" or something less long. Or, when it comes out, are we just going to leave the transcript there? Won't we put something more related to the actual episode itself instead of the Gameplay trailer? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 03:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

:I think it's okay for now. But as you point out, when the game is released, the gameplay trailer transcript will not be relevant in this format, either on this page or on its own page.

:At some point, we need to figure out if/how we're going to transcribe all the dialogue from the game. But that wouldn't go on this page, after the episode comes out, this page will be more of an overview, like the [[Peasant's Quest]] and [[Thy Dungeonman III]] pages are. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
::Since the game itself will have multiple branches, a transcript of any type won't make sense. I can see being done with this game (along with the others in the series), where certain set pieces are transcribed (for example, Homestar Ruiner is suppose to open with Strong Bad singing and going around the house) like [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. Beyond that. the best we could do would be a walkthrough or hints on triggering Easter eggs. However, since things like the trailer/preview are fixed, a transcript of those makes sense. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
:::By the way, if you want to contribute to the discussion over what to transcribe and how to do it, I raised this issue on [[Talk:Strong Bad%27s Cool Game for Attractive People#Legal Rampage Issue|this talk page]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I think the transcript should be done as a spoiler, as in typed all in white, and when someone wants the surprise to be ruined, they highlight the letters so they can read it. I've seen that done before. -->{{User:Parrothead1/sig}} 11:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I think we should move this page to [[Homestar Ruiner Trailers]] and use this article only to transcribe and explain parts of the actual SBCG4AP level. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Related topic: As part of the announcement on the [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-344 Telltale Blogs], it was mentioned that a second gameplay trailer was coming out in the near future, and part of it was featured in the "On The Spot" episode. (It focuses on Strong Bad talking to Marzipan at the party, and then shows some additional activities that Strong Bad can do.) I suspect, that since this is the first episode of a new series, there might be multiple transcripts for this episode. Any thoughts on how to incorporate those into this page specifically? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:The second gameplay trailer was already released...remember "Around the Field"? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 23:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Reopening topic- In the interim I've played two Sam & Max games (Abe Lincoln Must Die! and Ice Station Santa), and I've found the way that Telltale handles the [http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax/icestationsanta Walkthrough and Did You Try? sections] especially to be good models on how we want to model how we handle the game pages. Like [[Stinkoman 20X6]], it might be necessary to subdivide that page, but Walkthrough for the main plot, and then hints for eggs or side question locations (such as manual pages, costumes, index cards, etc.) would be the way to go. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 22:30, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:(Try again) Looking over the new [http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/homestarruiner Homestar Ruiner] page, it looks like they will do the same thing as they do with the Sam & Max games: providing a walkthrough and hints on things to try for Easter eggs or funny responses. Obviously, we should link to these official walkthroughs, rather than reinventing the wheel. So, what should this page be reserved for? My thought is to have it focus on transcripts (trailers and set pieces), as well as documenting Fun Facts. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:58, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
I think the best thing to do is to include one transcript for each place he visits. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 22:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
: ''IF'' we transcribe every line, I agree with this. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::Given the amount of dialogue in this game, both obvious and really, really obscure, that sounds like potentially risking death by transcription. Personally, a quick and brief summary of the events in the game (and not specifically how to finish it, like the walkthrough) would be more than sufficient. Kind of like what you'd get on Wikipedia, except seeing as we're NOT Wikipedia, we can go just a smidgen more in-depth with it. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 04:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Transcript change? ==

Hey guys, it's 20X6MAN, I forgot to log in. Anyways, I watched the trailer, and you might need to change the transcript. If you watch it again, you'll see what I mean.

:I only watched the first few seconds, but he's right. The trailer *was* changed pretty much exactly to what was added to the article. It wasn't actually random vandalism. -{{User:YK/sig}} 03:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
::Huh, how odd. Also note that the scoreboard now reads "OFFICIAL RACE TIMES". The original version (or at least the fact that it changed) should be noted somewhere, of course. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:::I just watched it, and nothing seems to have changed. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 03:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

== No Eyes On Deck ==

I got a glitch after playing through the tutorial. Homestar's eyes are gone on the Main-Page-style title screen. I have a screenshot. His eyes only appear when he says "Wait, is it my turn?" on the settings button, when his eyelids are lowered. Is it just me? (PC Version) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I managed to get myself a similar glitch with Strong Bad's eyes disappearing after watching (or skipping through, as it was) the preview for Strong Badia The Free. I think they're just random texture glitches. - [[User:C.Olimar788|C.Olimar788]] 21:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

::Not that I mean to purposefully contradict you, but [[The Paper]] occurred June 11, 2007. I'm sure the email was being created before that. It's not completely unlikely that this the game was at least planned at this time, but you'd think if they knew this would come out after 'ol Papes died that they'd make it the New Paper. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 19:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Okay? But shouldn't this still be documented somewhere? --TheDenzel again (not signed in)

== HRFWiki Reference? ==

At one point in the game, Strong Bad says something along the lines of "Thank goodness for this conveniently placed privacy curtain." It sounds suspiciously like the conveniently placed trampoline running gag to me. - [[Special:Contributions/66.30.141.108|66.30.141.108]] 21:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC) (X On Fire from the HRFWiki)

== Forshadowing for next game? ==
hey guys, in extended play, the king of town is really angry at you because he was forced to get married to the mole queen. he threatens to tax strong bad disproportionately, and strong bad says "that sounds... ominous." could this be foreshadowing for the next game?
:[[Strong Badia the Free]]. Although, if we haven't already, we could put it as a Fun Fact. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== Walkthrough ==
Should we get started on a walkthrough? I already have the game and I can start a walkthrough page tomorrow if we need one. [[User:Foogs|Foogs.]] 00:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:There is no need. Telltale website for the episode already has an excellent one up already. Why reinvent the wheel? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:::It would be very naughty and lazy of us to copy Telltale's walkthrough word-by-word. We didn't steal the Stinkoman 20X6 and Peasant's Quest walkthroughs off Gamefaqs, did we?

::::Here Is a page for the [[Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough|walkthrough]].-[[User:Philip8o|Philip8o]]

== Clean Up Time! ==

Okay, the first episode's out and this article needs to be revolutionised. Here's all the stuff we need to do, or at least, consider:
*List all the Easter Eggs and other secrets.
*Record all the Fun Facts, including Trivia, Remarks, Goofs, Glitches, Inside References and Real-World References. If these lists get too long, we can create individual articles for each section, a la [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
*Write a walkthrough. One section can tell you how to blast through the game, other sections can detail how to get 100% ranking.
*Discuss what to do with the transcripts of the two promotional trailers. I propose creating a new article and moving all relevant information there. Unless we...
*Consider whether to transcribe the ENTIRE game?
All these issues are discussed [[Talk:Homestar Ruiner#Transcript|here]], [[Talk:Homestar Ruiner#Walkthrough|there]] and [[Talk:Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People#Legal Rampage Issue|also here]]. Oh, and I won't be able to do any of this until I get my own laptop or we connect the Wii via our broadband connection. And until I'm allowed to buy/download stuff off the Internet. I just wanted to organise all our ideas for you. :) {{User:The Chort/sig}} 11:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:At the very least, if it hasn't been done already, we should list the cast members who appear in this episode and update their respective filmographies accordingly.

::I agree with The Chort, a Walkthrough we should at seriously consider, and I am willing to help with a full transctipt. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 15:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Easter Eggs ==

There's got to be some easter eggs hidden somewhere in this game. Like a secret homsar or something. {{User:The thing/sig}} 14:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:I've found a secret shirt that you can't put in your wardrobe by going in the photo booth, jumping off at the right 3 times till you land underneath the floor, and going as far back as you can below the entrance. (crappy description, I know.) But other than that, I don't know of any easter eggs. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 18:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, there are plenty of Easter eggs. All of the clothing items, TGS extras, Snake Boxer manual pages, the trophies, and really, any number of things that you can do that don't advance the plot. However, I don't think Homsar appears in person in this one (you can prank call him... sorta... but that's it.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:::I guess those are technically Easter eggs, but I think he meant besides anything needed to get 100%. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 19:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Do mentions belong in other relavent articles? ==

So, is it our intent to put all references and fun facts from the game on this page exclusively, or should we mention them in the relevant articles also? As an example, one of Homestar's random ramblings is an instance of the oft-mentioned letter [[G]]. Should it be noted on that page as well as here? {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 15:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:Well, isn't that what we already do for normal toons? I don't see why that should be changed... -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 19:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::Sounds rea''son''able. I just wasn't sure — since it's not a normal toon. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 20:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Responses ==

If we do Responses pages, I recommend having a main [[Homestar Ruiner Responses|responses]] page and breaking the actual (non-generic) responses into the following:

*[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (House of Strong)]]
*[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (Marzipan's House)]]
*[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (Track)]] (Or whatever it's called in-game; I forget)
*[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (The King of Town's Castle)]]

And either we can have [[Homestar Ruiner Responses (The Field)]] or six separate ones for the different places within The Field... not that the distinction between borders is necessarily obvious (and most places within The Field don't have much - take The Stick, for instance. Only a few objects there at all.)

If we do this, it'll be a massive undertaking; even though the game is fairly short for a game, it's still longer than any H*R cartoon ever and has lots of hidden dialogue.

Anyone else have anything to add? Since discussion in the past has been scattered, let's try to keep discussion on Responses in one place (here) until we decide whether or not we'll even do them in the first place. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:That sounds good. It will be a daunting feat, especially since we have to do it 5 times, but I'm up for it. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 20:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
::We went ahead and did every Peasant's Quest response. How hard can Homestar Ruiner be? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
::: BTW, though I'm not expecting it to be an easy task, I am for a series of Responses pages assuming that there's no legal problem (my understanding is that there is not, but of course we must honor a Cease and Desist request should TBC issue one out.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I think we only need 1 article (this one) for responses relevant to the plot and 1 article for all the extra stuff such as digging, commenting, insulting, etc. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
:I think one page is enough too — although I think it should be [[Homestar Ruiner Responses|responses]], and not this article — organized into sections as proposed above. At least to start... even having played the game through, it's hard for me to visualize how much space they'll take. We can always split the sections off into pages if it turns out they are too much.
:There is also the issue of dividing responses into game phases, in some cases the responses change after certain milestones are reached, but in many cases they do not. It will probably work to note these cases in as sub-sub-section's. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 14:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
::There are way more responses in this game than, say, Thy Dungeonman or Peasant's Quest. Those Responses pages are already extremely long pages. There are some generic responses (generally, using items on Strong Bad, or Strong Bad refusing to use items on certain objects) but most of them are NOT generic. I think the split will be necessary to keep things tidy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
:::That's true, and as an added bonus, seperation will ease multiple editors working on the project. I think that ''The Field'' should be a single page, because as stated above so many of the areas only contain a single object to interact with.
:::I haven't seen anyone raise any objection to this project (barring of course a request from either TBC or Telltale) — would it be too soon to move forward? I propose as an initial step, (if it's not jumping the gun to do so today), article stubs with the appropriate headings be created and editors can use <nowiki>{{inprogress}}</nowiki> to "sign-up" for a specifc area to avoid duplicated effort. I'd be interested in digging into a section starting a few hours from now — but if we should wait another day or so for comments that's fine too. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}}
::::Actually, I'll start a stub for the generic responses page now. I won't add any responses just yet (nowhere near my Wii right now). Then everyone else can have at it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Number of Blocks ==

Forgive me if this is already posted elsewhere, but how many blocks does Homestar Ruiner use on the Wii (for both the actual game and any saves, etc)? {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 22:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Freezing ==

Is it me, or does the game freeze at the beginning of the end of the game? --[[User:Mini-Trogdor|Mini-Trogdor]] 00:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
:It always freezes for me when Strong Bad is throwing the turtle. How 'bout you? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 02:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks! But is there anyway to get the last one if the KOT's hole is already covered? {{User:Acam30/sig}} 04:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, you get more candy from Bubs and put it on top of the hedge trimmings to make them, and the candy, fall into the hole. [[Special:Contributions/76.122.192.132|76.122.192.132]] 05:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== HOMSETAR ==

Goofs * At the non-garden party, the rollover for Marzipan and Homestar is spelled "MARZIPAN & HOMSETAR".

Um, I think that was intentional; remember? Marzipan kept forgetting Homestar's name, even called him "Homsar."
:It would be intentional if Marzipan had said "HOMSETAR", but it's on the rollover tooltip, and is thus much more likely to be a spelling mistake than intentional. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 13:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Is this a goof? ==

When Strong Bad first talks to Marzipan in her garden, her mouth is backwards. I'm not sure it's a goof, because I think it happened in a cartoon before.
: What do you mean by "backwards"? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
::I saw this as strange, too. I think if TBC were animating this, there are many instances where her mouth would be facing the other direction, but it's TTG doing it. I think it might be fair to call it a goof by TTG, for not being true to TBC's style. (To better explain what is meant by "backwards", I'll upload a screenshot later.) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:01, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

== Oh no, we've been found out... ==

If Strong Bad is seen by the Poopsmith while sneaking through the castle, he'll pull up a sign with exclamation marks on it. Could this be a possible reference to Metal Gear Solid? ~ [[SonicKB]]

:I doubt it, in the Metal Gear games, it's Snake who has the exclamation point on his head, not the person who saw him. Plus, the Poopsmith also uses a sign that says "Not you again!" [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 14:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
::Have you played a Metal Gear game recently? It's the enemy who has the "!" appear above their heads. Although in this case, I doubt it's a reference. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 15:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Number of pages ==

Basically, we need to figure out how many pages we need to make for this game. I'm thinking:
:A walkthrough page
:A page for all the collectibles (Manual Pages, TGS Ideas, Clothing and Trophies)
:Seperate transcript articles for the House of Strong, the Track, Marzipan's House, the KoT's Castle, and the Field (all six parts in one article)
This makes 10 articles including the main page, the Snake Boxer 5 page and the TGS page. [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 14:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually, we could just link Telltale's Walkthrough and Extended play Page from this page. Less work for us. ^_^
:TellTale's extended play section doesn't have where to get all of the collectibles like the TGS cards, Snake Boxer pages, and Coach Z trophies though. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 18:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
: [Edit conflict] And we could link to GameFAQs instead of having Peasant's Quest and Thy Dungeonman walkthroughs. I think it's a bad idea though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
::I wouldn't mind seeing the transcripts for the game preview videos moved off this page. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 21:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Moving the preview transcripts seems like a good first step to bring this article into alignment with ''Peasant's Quest'' game/trailer. My feeling that ''At the track'' is "the" trailer, and ''Around the field'' was made to, um, stall for more time. I guess we'll know if there're two trailers for SBTF. If that's the case, I think they'll need to be treated differently; essentially ''Around the field'' would be non-episode-specific, like the three-second "Actual Gameplay Footage" bit.

During the party, if you complement Coach Z, Strong Bad says some Swedish, finishing with "Bork, Brok, Bork". Is that a reference to the Muppets' Swedish Chef? - [[User:OkayGraphics|OkayGraphics]] 17:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Can someone finish the Summary? ==

I did have of the Plot Summary for this episode, can someone finish please? I don't have enough time to do so.
: I'm not sure we need a plot summary that in-depth, especially not if we have a separate walkthrough. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Is anyone else seeing this bug? ==

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but when I'm trying to do multiple file saves with my sister, whatever takes the top slot is overwritten when it should overwriting the actual respective slot. Has anyone experienced this, too?
*Oops. Sorry, forgot a signature. --[[Special:Contributions/70.253.170.63|70.253.170.63]] 23:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
: If I'm understanding you correctly, that's not a bug at all. The "top slot" is the autosave feature. When saving normally, you need to select one of the other three slots. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:05, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
*Oh, I get now. I guess I just never bothered to read text. I see where I go from here. Good thing I'm not too far in the game, or else I'd have to spend more than 20 minutes to get back to where I was. Thanks. Ha! --[[Special:Contributions/70.253.170.63|70.253.170.63]] 23:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== youtube? ==

== Gameplay Transcripts ==

I mentioned this up on the page in a vaguely related thread, but thought I should make a separate topic for it: The transcripts for the gameplay videos seem out of place on this page to me now that the game has been released and the article is filling up with info about the actual game. Is there a more appropriate place for them that already exists? If not, should we create a new article for them? I think they would fall under "Promotional media" somewhere... {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 14:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:I think we should kill them. Then mention anything in them that may have been different from actual gameplay somewhere. If anything. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 14:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

== Main Page reference ==

I know for a fact that during the game, when Strong Bad dond his Homestar disguise, he exclaims "Toons! Games!" etc.., but I don't remeber when and where in the game he does so. Does anyone remember? - [[User:OkayGraphics|OkayGraphics]] 21:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

:Specifically when and where is up to the player — he says it the first time he puts it on. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 21:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

==Mole people==
Where and when are there any Mole people?
:When you (spoiler) dig the holes in Marzipan's front yard, and later throw the Total Load into it. Also, after you trap the KOT in one of the holes and he gets out, he tells Strong Bad it's his fault that he's "Trapped in a loveless marriage with a mole queen." {{User:Acam30/sig}} 14:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

== List of Ranks? ==

Should we keep a list of the ranks you can get in the game? Here are the ones I know: 

Academic Biathlete: 1st 
Polar Bear Vaulter: Somewhere near the beginning 
Chainsaw Bocce Bowler: 2nd to last 
Trogdor Polo Chucker: Last [[User:Whatever2965|Whatever2965]] 13:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Right now I am trying to make my signature a corn flower blue color with the text looking something like this: ~Rebecca~ RJMT Right now in the signature box of my preferences I have entered: span style='color:#6495ed;" before ~Rebecca~ RJMT and /span after it but only ~Rebecca~ RJMT without the color, shows up.

HRWiki:Changing username

JamesLucas — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:21:53 GMT

JamesLucas:

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the bottom of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

Could you change my name to "Moonea"? I know the name is created; it's my old account, and I never entered a password and was logged out. I also forgot my password to that account. Thank you in advance! 12:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

===Dramus===
Could you change all edits with the name 'Dramus' to 'TDSDramus'? I'm the same person, but I forgot my password for the Dramus account, and did not have an E-Mail address linked to the Dramus account. Thanks. [[User:TDSDramus|Lifing for love, drinking for free.]] 04:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

You have not expressed either of those. Furthermore, if I were to suddenly say "Oh, my new online alias is s0merand0mdude, change it to that please," I would get shot down in similar fashion.

{{renameuser|Has Matt?|Lard Masher Machoquake}}
I never really liked my name; the question mark just seems to get in the way of things. I also kinda figured I needed an image overhaul. (I can't have the young users thinking I'm old!) I've already changed my signature, since I know this request will be accepted.

===Kevin G. Dannerson===
{{renameuser|Kevin G. Dannerson|The Knights Who Say Ni}}
I decided I liked my 92nd day of the leap year prank so much i wanted to change my name to it entirely. Just like a super bowl commercial turns into a regular commercial. Besides, Kevin G. Dannerson is a pretty lame name. And this one actually has some meaning and not just words that were randomly thrown together in it. [[User:Kevin_G._Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 19:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

and did i forget to mention that i wanted a username that didn't have my brother's name in it? [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 19:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't really like my username. To many 2's. If you get rid of one it'll bother me less. Thank you.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:On your user page, you state "I also despise my username", which says to me that you would not want to be stuck with Peter22.

::The excessive two's are the only reasons I dislike it. If I have one less I'd be fine with it and probably wouldn't change it again. Peter22 would not bother me at all.{{User:Peter222/sig}}

This may just be me being paranoid, but somebody phished one of my accounts on another website recently, so if they got access to my email they might be able to figure out how to log in as me here. Anyway, after that I'd just like to move away from using "Lux Acerbus" for anything in case they do recognize this as my account.

[[Image:sbemail22.PNG|thumb|Strong Bad offends the royals!]]

{{wrongtitle|title=sb_email 22}}

Strong Bad is asked by Mark from England what he thinks of the English. It's a disaster in the making.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}} (Easter egg), {{Film|The Announcer}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], Press Conference (Easter Egg)

'''Date:''' Wednesday, September 2, 2002

'''Page Title:''' The Lost Email!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Do, du, dadada do, du, dadada do... ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hi Strong Bad, 
 
I'm from England. What do you think of 
the English? 
 
Thank you, 
Mark</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, gee, Mark, if you're really from England, shouldn't you have some kinda unnecessary vowel at the end of your name? ''{adds an "e" to the end of Mark's name}'' And what is this "Thank you"? Whatever happened to "Cheers" or "Cheerio" or "Nevermind the Bullocks"? ''{changes "Thank you" into these words as he says them}'' Call yourself "English". But, anyways, what do I think of the English, huh? Oh, I'll ''tell'' you what I think of the English!

''{A big red sign with white letters appears across the screen saying "BANNED IN THE UK." Cut to an issue of ''The Guardian'', which contains pictures of a cricketer, [[The King of Town]] and a policeman, and the following article about Strong Bad on the front page.}''

<blockquote>'''Strong Bad Offends''' 
'''The Royals!''' 
 
In this Monday's edition of U.S. based "Strong Bad 
Email," the title character, Strong Bad, an odd little 
bloke with a Mexican wrestling mask for a head and 
boxing gloves for hands made such comments that 
warranted the Queen to ban the edition from UK 
shores. Strong Bad has been charged with "verbal 
crimes against the crown" and the Strong Bad Email, 
now simply being called the infamous "sbemail22," 
has been removed from broadcast in both the UK and 
the States. At a press conference held on Tuesday, 
</blockquote>

== Easter Eggs ==

*After the [[Periodicals|newspaper]] comes up, click the words "press conference" to see the press conference.

:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad, how do you respond to claims that your comment brought the entire royal family to tears?

:''{The Cheat whispers a response to Strong Bad. Strong Bad clears his throat and speaks into the microphone.}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Screw all y'all.

:''{Gasps are heard from the crowd.}''

:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Cor blimey!

:''{A black-and-white photograph snaps Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

:'''MAN:''' ''{off screen, in a Scouse accent}'' I can't believe he said that.

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

:*After the press conference, click on the stack of papers to see what The Cheat told Strong Bad. The paper reads, "Just say 'Screw all ya'll'. Trust me. It'll work."

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The reason why this is called "The Lost Email!" is because after [[The Brothers Chaps]] made email 21, [[cartoon]], they went ahead and made email 23, [[little animal]], skipping over number 22. Between [[vacation]] (#40) and [[invisibility]] (#41), The Brothers Chaps made email 22.
**The skip makes this email the last of the Tandy era.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bobby|Bobby]]" is English slang for a policeman, hence the joke about a policeman actually named Bobby.
*The article on [[Wikipedia:Cricket|cricket]] is a reference to America's stereotyped attitude to the sport of cricket which the English are renowned for embracing.
*"Some kinda unnecessary vowel at the end" refers to differences between [[Wikipedia:American English|American English]] and [[Wikipedia:British English|British English]] (especially archaic British). Examples include words like ''annexe, programme, shoppe, olde, pointe, towne,'' and ''grille,'' and famous names such as ''Locke''.
*According to [[Wikipedia:The Guardian|The Guardian]]: "The King Of Town Eats Treacle". Although the King of Town is known for his proclivity for strange food items, [[Wikipedia:Molasses|treacle]] is not all that strange. The word is odd-sounding to American ears, but it's really just molasses.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bollocks|Bollocks]]" literally means "testicles" in Britain and Ireland. However, it can also be used in the same general sense as "crap" or "nonsense" — although the word itself is much stronger. That said, Strong Bad misspells it as "bullocks", which refers to young bulls.

===Trivia===
*This is the first Strong Bad email (by number) to contain an Easter Egg.
*This is the shortest Strong Bad email, with a time of 34 seconds. Thus the email's Easter Egg is the most significant proportion of any email to date.

[[Image:sbemail22glitch.png|thumb|right|The see-through hand]]

===Remarks===
*This is an email in which [[The Paper]] does not come down in the main toon; here it comes down only at the end of the Easter egg. Another example of this would be the end of the email [[part-time job]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad covers the microphone with his hand, there is a gap between his hand and the edge of the mic.
*After the "BANNED IN THE UK" sign and cut to the newspaper, we can hear a small blip of the press conference Easter egg.
*If you change the contrast all the way to green during the beginning, the "BANNED IN THE UK" banner changes it back to black just before the newspaper appears.

===Inside References===
*''The Guardian'' describes itself as "Britain's [[Prancing|Pranciest]] Newspaper".

===Real-World References===
*The song Strong Bad sings in the beginning of the email is from [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (arcade game)|the original ''Donkey Kong'' game]].
*"Nevermind the Bullocks" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Sex Pistols|Sex Pistols']] controversial album ''[[Wikipedia:Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols|Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols]]'', which was also banned in the UK.
* The paper that appears is a very faithfully reproduced version of UK broadsheet [[Wikipedia:The Guardian|The Guardian]], including references to that paper's supplement, [[Wikipedia:The Guardian#Supplements_and_features|G2]]. Also referred to are [[Wikipedia:B-2 Spirit|B2]], a class of bomber used by the USAF, and F7, a type of rail engine.
*In the corner of the photo of Strong Bad, a classic [[Wikipedia:Buses in London|London bus]] can be seen. There is also an advert on the side of it for [[Wikipedia:EasyJet|easyJet]], a British airline.
*Somebody sounding suspiciously like [[Wikipedia:Ringo Starr|Ringo Starr]] says "I can't believe he said that" at the end of the press conference. This could be in reference to the infamous [[Wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]] quote stating that [[The Beatles]] were "more popular than Jesus" and the uproar that ensued.

===Fast Forward===
*The Cheat's whispering to Strong Bad is one of the quotes on the "Learn to Speak The Cheat" record in [[cheat talk]]. It translates as "Check it out, this is going to be great! Just say, 'Screw all y'all!'"
*The Cheat's lawyer suit will later be seen in [[rough copy]].

''{fade to white, Strong Bad continues talking over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...we blew our whole budget on this kick-awesome logo...

''{as he says this, the SBASAF logo appears - a rocket's path tracing the second S, and ending up in position as the first A}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and on our orientation filmstrip.

''{Cut to a slide of the SBASAF logo, with "2005 Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil" in blurred text at the bottom}''

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email is the sound that would make when a young girl cries...

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: space program</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Does Strongbadia have a space program? 
Doo doo crap, 
Ryan 
Raleigh, NC
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Da-da-da-da-da" before "Dear Strongbad", "Good jokes" instead of "Doo doo crap," pronounces "Raliegh," as "Rallee" and says "NC" as "Not cool."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Who ''doesn't'' have a space program these days? I mean, don't, like, the Italians have a space program? Ours is called SBASAF ''{pronounced "space-saff"}''. The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil. ''{clears screen}'' The only problem is, ...

''{fade to white, Strong Bad continues talking over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ... we blew our whole budget on this kick-awesome logo ....

''{as he says this, the SBASAF logo appears - a rocket's path tracing the second S, and ending up in position as the first A}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ... and on our orientation filmstrip.

''{Cut to a slide of the SBASAF logo, with "2005 Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil" in blurred text at the bottom}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' SBASAF is a definately-for-profit orginisation, dedicated to the manned taping of aluminum foil to cardboard. ''{beep sound, similar to that heard in old moon-landing recordings}''

Marzipan's Answering Machine

'''Marzipan's Answering Machine''' is probably one of the most overlooked sections on the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner website]], likely because it has little or no animation. The messages often dive deeper into interpersonal relationships between the [[Characters|characters]], with each short message packed with insight. Some mainstays of the section are [[Strong Bad]]'s unrelenting prank calls, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s constant misunderstandings, and [[Coach Z]]'s and [[Strong Sad]]'s depressing ramblings. It also features various other surprise messages and cameos from major and minor characters.
