Talk:Emails Taken in a Different Direction

Jimmy91 — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 11:22:46 GMT

Jimmy91: /**/Sick Day?

==More than 2 problems?==
There are a couple issues with this article before it is cleaned up. First, the title should be clearer. The idea is fine, but I don't immediately think of "twisting emails" when I am considering the idea of using an email for a tangental idea. Secondly, the page needs to follow standard format:

<nowiki>*Email [[email]] — blah blah blah</nowiki>

Thirdly, examples of where Strong Bad goes off on a tangent should be moved beyond the Tandy 400 era and sectioned appropriately. Finally, some entries need to be cleaned up. For example, [[the bird]] doesn't fit, since "giving somebody the bird" is slang for flipping people off, which is the subject of the email and Strong Bad's response. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

What should we do about emails like [[long pants]] and [[the paper]] where he ''tried'' to twist the email, but the email twisted itself back onto the topic? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

== Removed Facts ==

[[Who Said What Now?|The DeFender1031 says]]: I removed a bunch of facts from this page, here's the removed facts and why:

===i love you===
*In the email [[i love you]], Strong Bad mentions nothing about anything in the email besides his/her name.
There wasn't anything more to the email except "i love you" and he replies that the feeling isn't mutual before going off on the majority of the email (as the name is longer than the email itself). {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===credit card===
*In the email [[credit card]], he receives an email from John and some people trying to steal Strong Bad's credit card number, he shifts the email to be about "[[Homestar]]" and uses his credit card information to buy things on "the_coolest_things_ever.com"
How is this twisting? He's responding to the email by using it to his advantage. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===i she be===
*In [[i she be]], Strong Bad is sent a phony email saying a girl was named great looking girl. After he plays along with it, he yells at her saying he gets a lot of emails like that and from "ladies with proper grammar" but then feels sorry for her. Thinking that he shouldn't let the email go to waste, he sends it to "[[The Cheat]]", later they text each other on an I.M.
What part of this is twisting? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===trevor the vampire===
*In the email [[trevor the vampire]], since Trevor doesn't finish the sentence, Strong Bad tries to make an email in his honor, thinking that "they" got him.
How is he supposed to respond to a half-finished email? Trevor didn't even say anything for Strong Bad to twist! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===studying===
*Email [[studying]] — he "advises" Roy to stop studying and spend time with his girlfriend. He later tries to steal his girlfriend, but he says that doesn't know her name or where she lives.
Again, not twisting anything. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===stand-up===
*In [[stand-up]], Joe p. wants him to do stand-up comedy. He repeatedly states "no", trying to avoid telling about an embarrassing thing that had happened to him before. "[[Strong Sad]]" comes in shortly after to show a tape of [[Lil' Strong Bad]] doing stand-up, somehow ending up in his [[pants]] falling for no real reason.
This is a [[blatant lie]], not a twisting of an email. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===CGNU===
*In the email [[CGNU]], Strong Bad, instead of telling how to graduate at [[CGNU]], he ends up making an advertisement for it. Also revealing that CGNU is not a real college an applying for it is just to make fun of you.
He is asked how someone can graduate from CGNU and he responds with an ad about getting your degree from CGNU, makes sense to me... (the disclaimer at the end is a throwaway one-liner, and could also be construed as a "you can't" response to the email. either way, it's not a twist.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===flag day===
*In [[flag day]] Strong Bad goes immediately from introducing the flag to singing the [[Strong Badia]] song.
He shows everybody the flag, what more do you want? Is it not proper to sing one's national anthem as you raise the flag? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===property of ones===
*In the email [[property of ones]], he responds to his email with 2 sentences before trailing off to his [[bogus mathematical theorem]]
He responds. Then goes into his bogus theorum. Not twisting, elaborating. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===little questions===
*In [[little questions]] Strong Bad gets an email from a Swedish person, misspelling things and making grammatical errors throughout. Strong Bad responds in what he knows of how the Swedish talk, instead of answering without leaving a big question on what just happened.
He responds to gibberish with gibberish, as best he can. What's the problem here? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

===marzipan===
*In [[marzipan]] Strong Bad goes from Emily's question about how nobody ever sees him with any girls. She mentions that [[the only girl]] she's ever seen even near him is [[Marzipan]]. Strong Bad then starts ranting that [[Marzipan]] can't keep her "hands" offa me (although this is entirely untrue).
Again, a [[blatant lie]], not a twist.

===In addition===
There are a few that I left in that aren't blatantly going against the subject of the email, but still don't answer it entirely, which raises the question, what is the scope of this page? Is it about instances like [[big white face]] and [[homsar]] where the intent is clearly one thing but he does the complete opposite, or should it include instances like [[retirement]] and [[rough copy]], where strong bad sort of does what's asked but not really, or goes off on some unrelated tangent without first answering the email? (ones where he does first answer it definitely don't count, and i removed a bunch of those above.) The ones that are still there that I am referring to in particular are:
*[[some kinda robot]]
*[[retirement]]
*[[strong badathlon]]
Thoughts? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it could be those that aren't blantantly going against the email, but still don't answer it completely, about instances like [[big white face]] and [[homsar]], '''and''' include instances like [[retirement]] and [[rough copy]]. {{User:KlingOnMyDreams/sig}} 16:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
:I've been invited to add [[old comics]] and [[no loafing]] to the list here. While I'm at it, Defender, can I ask, what [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Twisting_emails&offset=20071209235020&limit=1&curid=39603&action=history consensus] are you talking about? Barely 2 hours ago you undid my own removal of these from the article, but all of a sudden you've been convinced of a consensus and you've gone ahead with these removals and more? Where was any of it discussed and who participated? I'm just wondering because it's not clear to me what makes action acceptable, since mine was not (to you) but your own (nearly identical one) apparently is. 76.254.87.139 00:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::Because i didn't think they belonged there to begin with, but i didn't remove them until i saw consensus. The talk is fragmented all over this page and edit summaries in the history, but after [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Twisting_emails&diff=525716&oldid=525714&rcid=482465 this edit] it seemed to me that there were enough people in favor of the removal and none against. I AGREED with you from the start, i just wanted to wait for more consensus to be sure. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:::Anyway, you're right, a username is a good idear. Tenderly, I remain... [[User:Cableman Jorge|Cableman Jorge]] 00:46, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

===Emails from the Intro===
I hope 3 days afterwards isn't too late for me to bring up this thing from the intro I shortened:
*Unusually, some of the mixed up emails actually create major parts of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]; [[Dangeresque]], several [[running gags]], [[Homsar]], [[Limozeen]], [[kicking The Cheat]], etc.
If I remember these emails correctly, he didn't even ''try'' to twist them. He created Dangeresque as proof he didn't need a [[stunt double]], he brought up Limozeen because some kid asked him to help come up with [[band names]], and he kicked The Cheat to show what he would do if a [[little animal]] came up to him. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

===monster truck===
*Email [[monster truck]]— Stan and Loretta ask Strong Bad if he has ever done advertising for monster truck shows. He then twists it into him doing voice overs for [[Strong Badia]] events.
What is twisted about answering "do you do monster truck commercials" by making fun of a monster truck commercial????? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:18, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

== Email tags? ==

Since this page can only have appearances in emails, is it necessary to write "Email" at the beginning of each line? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== Rename ==

I think it needs a new name. No ideas though. Anyone else got any? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
:How 'bout '''Ignored''' emails. {{User:KlingOnMyDreams/sig}} 16:35, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
::Nah, that sounds like it's just talking about the [[unused emails]]. He's not ignoring them, he's doing the opposite. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

::We should definitely change it. I like "Hijacked Emails" best so far, but I don't think it's a very good title.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

== Unanswered? ==
Let's not allow this to go un-answered, then: Under what scope do belong emails in which the question in fact was answered, at least to the best of SB's ability? I'm talking specifically about [[no loafing]] and [[old comics]] which didn't before seem to fit in any proposed or imagined scope, but I was instructed to hold my horses and not delete those until a re-name was decided upon. For reference's sake, the history including justifying comments is here: http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Twisting_emails&dir=prev&offset=20071209223947&limit=3&action=history As you can see, I've stated why the emails were in fact '''not un-answered'''.[[User:76.247.46.146|76.247.46.146]] 23:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
:You can also see that neither of these emails are among the examples where Defender is calling attention to, and attempting a discussion of, [[#In addition|the scope of the page]]. Why not? Is it because an answer, or at least a genuine attempt at an answer, is present in each of those emails? [[User:76.247.46.146|76.247.46.146]] 23:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
::No, it's because i didn't notice those, you're welcome to add them to that list. Personally, i think that the scope of this page should be only the times where strong bad '''specifically''' does the opposite of what the sender is asking, like [[big white face]] or [[12:00]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
:::The Chort believes old comics is [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Derailed_Emails&diff=527541&oldid=526565 "the perfect example of a derailed email"]. I've grown neutral to its inclusion because it's too hard for me to figure out if "the KOT's always had a poopsmith" truly means "I don't know". [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:23, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
::::I'd say it's as about as derailed as [[what I want]], which is still on the page. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 17:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Should I go put it back? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 02:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== What links here ==

Right now, Defender's userpage is the only What Links Here. Was that true earlier? Were links to this page removed? Is this ultimately intended to be a Category or anything like that? It's funny, none of the early contributors appear to have made any links to this page. But as long as we're discussing [[#In addition|the scope of the page]], let's look forward to what the endgame will be once the page is actually in shape. Tenderly, I remain, [[User:Cableman Jorge|Cableman Jorge]] 01:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:Lol, did not realize that. MEh, once we're done, we'll add links to the various pages involved {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Introduction ==

It needs some rewording. Strong Bad does not completely ignore the email. Each time it is somewhat, though not exactly, related to the email sent to him. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:I put "Disregards" as opposed to "Ignores". It makes all the difference to me, but if it seems wrong to anyone... :B '''→''' {{User:Peacey_P/sig}} 18:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Strong Badathlon ==

I still think it counts. He does not do the stuff they requested. If I summarize it like this, the randomness is even more evident: "Throw The Cheat or beat up Homestar! No! We're going to make fun of the olympics tonight!" (I've just been bothered with the email's randomness for months now) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
:Makes sense to me. I added it. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

== New Commando Name - DONE! ==

It's been re-named, so, I'll do away with the <nowiki>{{rename}}</nowiki> template. Tenderly, I remain, [[User:Cableman Jorge|Cableman Jorge]] 04:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
:Actually, the page was moved prematurely to "Derailed" before there was any real concensus. The rename discussion is still ongoing. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== [[Sick Day]]? ==

Should [[Sick Day]] be included here, even if it's a Short Toon and not technically a sbemail? Strong Bad does receive an email and it does get derailed, however. Thoughts? [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 11:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Competition

Jimmy91 — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 15:05:53 GMT

Jimmy91: typo

Early in [[homestarrunner.com|the site]]'s history, [[Strong Bad]] says the word '''competition''' a few times. Now the word is used to parody Strong Bad's old voice, most notably in [[Accent]].

==Appearances==
*[[The Reddest Radish]] — Strong Bad says "With [[Marzipan]]'s radish we're gonna win the competition!"
*[[A Jumping Jack Contest]] — Strong Bad says "Now go, and win us this competition!"
*[[Homestar Talker]] — One of the words in the secret Strong Bad Talker is "competition".
*Email [[virus]] — Strong Bad says "With Marzipan's radish we're gonna win the competition!" in exactly the same way that he does in The Reddest Radish.
*Email [[lady...ing]] — In the [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (Toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] style segment, Strong Bad says "When it comes to the ladies, I've got no competition!", putting an unusual amount of emphasis on the word "competition".
*Email [[Accent]] — [[Coach Z]] trains Strong Bad to say the word "competition" in his old voice, in the hopes of recovering his old accent.
*Email [[pizza joint]] — Strong Bad uses the word when he learns of [[The Cheat]]'s [[The King of Town's Grill|pizza place]].

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' Another week, another email scandal! Strong Bad gonna fly off the handle! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: strong bad email</div>
Hey mr S to the B 
I was wondering what the nightlife is like in strongbadia? 
What kinda hip clubs and fun hotspots are there to 
check out? 
Somekindaguy 
Josh CO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Mr" as "mer", "Somekindaguy" as "Soma-keenda-goo-ay" and "Josh CO" as "JoshCO!", adding "makers of funny products and funnier slogans." He also puts emphasis on "kinda" as if "kinda hip" meant "somewhat hip"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, we only have one real fun hotspot. As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about

''{Carrot and Kazoo Hill is shown, with Homestar and Stong Sad standing on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Carrot and Kazoo Hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{unemotional}'' Whee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good times.

''{Back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, the hill was jumpin' that night! As far as clubs go, Club Technochocolate is about as kinda hip as it gets! Some towns have party clubs, but we've got our very own bona fide ''pwawty cloughb!''

''{A flyer is shown while music begins to play in the background, which reads: Club Technochocolate / Free Country USA's Premier / PWAWTY CLOUGHB / (Not a place for technological chocolate bars)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' When I'm going out to the cloughb, I always like to take off ''{Cut to Strong Bad's Bedroom. He is standing in the foreground messing with his shirt.}'' my best shirt! ''{His best shirt is light blue with a tribal mark. He rips it open with a "huah!", popping a button. He begins to spray himself with body spray.}''

''{Camera cuts to Strong Sad, who is leaning in the doorway from the Basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, are you putting on body spray?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, still holding the black can of body spray}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Guys don't wear body spray. This is uh... the blood... of slain... warrior... mammoths.

''{Scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Of course, the cloughb only lets the freshest clientèle inside. But my name has been laser-etched into the guest list by now.

''{We see a location somewhere in the Field, at night. Strong Mad is standing behind a velvet-rope as Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, drop the act! I've gotta get into the pwawty cloughb.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holding up a grease-stained Blubb-o's bag}'' YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! ''{he laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke?! That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt... Johnson.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON! ''{he unhooks the rope and lets Strong Bad through}''

''{Various Cuts: Club TechnoChocolate. Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom are seen dancing. The Cheat is DJ'ing.}''

''{Cut to: Club Technochocolate's bar. Strong Bad walks in from our left. Bubs slides in from our right, behind the bar.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, if it isn't my main man Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house.

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' How about a nice Pink Elephant Pants?

''{Zoom out again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it!

''{Bubs reaches under the bar, and produces an eyedropper containing a green liquid}''

'''BUBS:''' That'll be $17.50.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah! You guys must be having a sale!

''{We see the edge of the Club Technochocolate dance floor. Marzipan and Strong Sad are standing just off the dance floor. Strong Sad is wearing fishnet gloves.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You don't look like you're having very much fun, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh I'm having a great time. This is my favorite club to go to, and not dance. Sometimes I'll even ''think'' about dancing, and then not dance. And if I'm feeling ''really'' crazy, I'll actually get out on the dance floor, and bust some fresh not-dancing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how about I start busting some fresh not-hanging-out-with-you.

''{Marzipan walks off. Cut to Strong Bad dancing on the dance floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Off-screen}'' Hey Strong Bad.

''{Zoom out. Homestar is standing behind Strong Bad (our left). He looks like he has just woken up, complete with unshaved face, dressing gown, sleeping cap, and [[Nebulon]] slippers. His eyes are closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! I'm doin my matin' dance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyes still closed} {unintelligible}''more, more...badges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I got more badges than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I sold more thin mints than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep and dreaming you're a girl scout?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No Ma'am, Troop Beverly Hills.

''{We see The cheat DJ'ing in the DJ booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And at some point during the night, we all get 'treated' to Coach Z ''{Zoom out, Coach Z with a mic}'' attempting to freestyle.

'''COACH Z:''' One two one two, 'bout to freestyle... One two? One two?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I mean... count to two over and over again.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ha, one two one two! Here I go! Hang on, one two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And no night at the cloughb would be complete, without me getting tossed out on my leopard print hinders.

''{Back to the entrance. Strong Bad gets tossed out, wearing leopard print underwear. Strong Mad is no longer visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not my fault! It's those light-èd floors! I think my pants are mysteriously drawn to them!

''{Strong Bad's pants get thrown out too. They land on his head and remain unfolded.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the nightlife around here, Soma. Of course, there's also the pour rotten milk on Marzipan's prized petunias while she's asleep variety of nightlife as well, but that's another email, for another time. This has been Strong Bad, with Strong Bad E-mail 185 ''{pronounced one eighty-five}''. Thanks for listening.

'''[[Strong Bad]]'s relationship with [[Bubs]]''' is a mix of numerous feelings. More often than not, they get along well. Many times, Bubs does business with Strong Bad (and vice-versa), sometimes in dishonest ways. However, even these two have their brushes with each other once in a while.

*Email [[unused emails]] — One of the ways Strong Bad deals with emails that he rejects is to sell 5,000 of the email addresses to Bubs to use in his "free weekly spamvertisements". In return, he gets a quarter for each email ($1,250 in all).
*[[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] — Bubs helps Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat trick Homestar into buying them drinks.
*Email [[stunt double]] — In ''[[Dangeresque_%28film_series%29#Known_Films|Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1]]'', Strong Bad obviously portrays [[Dangeresque]] while Bubs portrays an [[Unnamed Bad Guy|unnamed villain]].
*Email [[unnatural]] — Strong Bad and the others try to figure out different ways to save Bubs when he becomes a [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme|giant]].

'''Running Time:''' 4:23

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

== Transcript ==
''{Marzipan and Homestar Runner are in costumes, Marzipan as an angel and Homestar as the King of Town.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow. I can't believe the night of the big Decemberween pageant has finally arrived! After all the weeks and weeks of rehearsing and practicing and memorizing lines...

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, I don't think those are your lines.

''{Zoom out to see that they're both onstage, actually performing. The audience laughs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?!

''{Cut to the title sequence. "A DECEMBERWEEN PAGEANT" "THE USUAL CREDITS" "FADE TO COMMERCIAL" It fades to black, then comes back on with the "A DECEMBERWEEN PAGEANT" title.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' A Decemberween Pageant is brought to you by Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. ''{mumbled singing}'' "Made from the best stuff!" And Litigation Jackson, in theaters December 27th!

''{Fade to black. It fades up on Bubs and the King of Town, the latter of whom is wearing a Santa outfit.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Puts on a Burger King crown and thinks he's cock of the block! I can't ''believe'' they cast Homestar as the King of Town.

'''BUBS:''' Yep. They did.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' At least I still get to play Dr. Christmas. I can't wait to—

'''BUBS:''' Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you about that. Uh...

''{Bubs takes the cap from the King of Town, puts it on, and walks off. Coach Z pops his head in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... Kingy? You can go home.

''{Cut to the stage, where Bubs and Strong Bad are on. Strong Bad has a spear, a turtleneck, and a beanie cap.}''

'''BUBS:''' Archibald! We've got to find the first Decemberween!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll search down by the docks.

'''BUBS:''' ''{quietly}'' What?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The docks. I'll search down by the docks.

'''BUBS:''' ''{still quietly}'' Ooh. I thought you said ducks. ''{louder}'' Good thinking! I'll come with ya.

''{They walk off, applause is heard. Cut to backstage as they continue walking and Coach Z is there.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that's what I call actin', boys! Don't go too far, Bubs! You're on again in farve!

''{Cut to Marzipan and Pom Pom, who is wearing a Lakers jersey.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I hardly recognize The Cheat. His costume is really convincing.

''{Cut to back on stage. Bubs is there, as well as Homestar Runner, and The Cheat, who is wearing a sign that says "The Popular Vote". There are gears in the background.}''

'''BUBS:''' We'll need fifty bags of jold! I mean, gold! Fifty bag of golds.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just can't do it, Dr. Christmas. Famine has ruined all the town's gold. Let us away, Popular Vote!

''{Homestar starts getting lifted up by a rope. Pulley sounds are heard and Strong Bad is grunting. The audience makes impressed noises, then applauds. Homestar stops at about halfway up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offstage}'' Okay. That's all you're getting out of me. ''{The curtain closes.}'' Guy's like a frickin' house.

''{We hear a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oww!

''{Cut to backstage. Strong Sad is holding his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh! I'm totally freaking out here! I can't remember my lines, and if I don't remember my lines, then I'll ruin the whole play! At least the pageant.

''{Cut back to the stage. Strong Bad is in a boat named the ''USS Trimball'' and there are wooden cut-out waves being pulled back and forth, along with tentacles sticking out of stage right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How unfortunate! Oh, what a terrible fate has bestowed with me... uh, become to me... There's a squid.

''{Cut to later, onstage, with Marzipan and The Cheat standing by a prop Eiffel Tower.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll never forget you, Popular Vote! not in a million years! ''{The Cheat starts crying}'' Don't cry. Popular Votes aren't supposed to cry! You might rust. ''{audience laughs}''

''{Cut to backstage, with Coach Z)''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh! Hey! Ooh! Where's Strong Sad? He's on in two scenes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. He got nervous and went to the bathroom. I think he might be up-chucking.

''{Coach Z goes to Strong Mad}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Mad. I need you to go get your brother.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M OPEN. I'M OPEN!

'' (Strong Mad waves his arms)''

'''COACH Z:''' 'Course you are, big guy. 'Course you are.

''{Cut to the stage where Strong Bad, Bubs, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner are doing a music number.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Everyone's searching, looking and searching...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' And everyone's hanging around!

'''BUBS:''' ''{singing}'' And who can be sure if we're looking for something?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And looking for something I am!

''{They continue singing. Cut to Strong Mad and Strong Sad in the bathroom. Strong Sad has locked himself in a stall.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'll be there in a second. Tell them to make something up until I get out there.

''{Cut to the stage. Bubs, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner are standing there.}''

'''BUBS:''' Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.

''{Strong Bad walks in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... I found a computer. I think it can help us!

'''BUBS:''' So, this computer you speak of. Where is it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... on the moon. Naw it's a moon computer.

''{Cut to backstage with Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Remember your line, remember your line...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Y'know, the kind the planets use to do their taxes.

''{Cut back to the stage}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I can take you there! Everyone hop on!

''{Strong Sad walks on.}''

'''BUBS:''' Behold! The first Decemberween!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{perplexed}'' What?

''{The audience claps}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the first Decemberween ever!

''{Applause gets louder, the curtains close, and "THE END" appears.}''

<pre>LITIGATION JACKSON
THIS DECEMBERWEEN...
THE SYSTEM REALLY WORKS, JERKS!
A Sportsinterviews/Delabor Production</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*In [[Wikipedia:United States presidential election|United States presidential elections]], the popular vote refers to how many total votes each candidate receives in the election.

===Trivia===
*The Litigation Jackson poster has a man holding a box which reads "Legal Documents."
*The clipboard Coach Z is holding reads "note to self: the show must go on!"

===Remarks===
*As Strong Bad is sitting in the ''USS Trimball'', you can see Strong Mad's hand pulling the wooden waves back and forth.
*Archibald and Dr. Christmas apparently "fight to the death" in Scene 2, yet both of them are still alive at the end of the play.
*Although they celebrate Decemberween, there's still a Dr. ''[[Decemberween#References to Christmas|Christmas]]''; possibly because "Dr. Christmas" is more phonically pleasing than "Dr. Decemberween".
*Coach Z's neck seems unusually long when he tells The King of Town that he can go home.
*Although it says in Act I that "Gerty discovers that there is no Decemberween.", there is no "Gerty" listed in the cast.
*Strong Mad and Pom Pom (Kobe 1 and 2) never appear in the portions of the pageant shown.
* In the beginning, the movie ''Litigation Jackson'' is sponsoring the pageant and is coming out on December 27th, but the poster says it comes out on Decemberween, which is on the 25th.
*While in the bathroom Strong Sad tells Strong Mad to tell the guys to make something up, so Bubs says "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread." to stall. But in the program it says Bubs's character's name is "Dr. Christmas (Cornbread)", even though he made it up without informing any one else.

===Goofs===
*Marzipan's halo disappears after her line, "Homestar, I don't think those are your lines."
*When Strong Mad waves his arms at Coach Z backstage, there's obvious line distortion between his arms and his shoulders.
*Everytime Coach Z turns his head, his headset is reversed.

===Inside References===
*At the bottom of the [[Litigation Jackson]] poster, it says "A Sportsinterviews / Delabor Production", which refers to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]] and [[Thorax Corporation]].
*When Homestar says, "This is the first Decemberween ever!", it harkens back to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], where Homestar and Strong Bad said, "This is the '''best/worst''' Decemberween ever", respectively.
*Bubs pronounces the [[G]] in gold like a J.
*Bubs also mentions [[Ducks]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Burger King Crown" is a real product provided for free at some Burger King restaurants.
*Strong Bad's costume and the scene with the squid are both patterned after the 1954 film ''[[IMDB:tt0046672|20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]]''. Strong Bad looks like [[Wikipedia:Captain Nemo|Captain Nemo]], even though he's called "Archibald."
*Marzipan's line "Popular Votes aren't supposed to cry. You might rust." is a take-off of a line spoken by [[Wikipedia:Dorothy Gale|Dorothy]] to the [[Wikipedia:Tin Woodsman|Tin Man]] in [[Wikipedia:The Wizard of Oz (1939 movie)|''The Wizard of Oz'']].
*[[Litigation Jackson]] is a spoof on a 1988 movie called [[imdb:tt0094612|''Action Jackson'']], which starred [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]] and [[Wikipedia:Sharon Stone|Sharon Stone]].
*The description of Act II in the program in the Easter egg, "Archibald and Dr. Christmas fight to the death on [[Wikipedia:Mount Rushmore National Memorial|Mt. Rushmore]]" is a reference to the movie [[IMDB:tt0053125|''North By Northwest'']], which ends with a fight on Mt. Rushmore. The movie starred [[Wikipedia:Cary Grant|Cary Grant]], whose real first name is Archibald.
*[[Wikipedia:Kobe Bryant|Kobe Bryant]] is a superstar basketball player who played for the Los Angeles Lakers at the time this toon was released.
*The cut to a still image of the toon title with the main theme playing under the fake product plugs is exactly the way sponsor plugs appeared in annual Christmas specials like ''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' on CBS in the 80s and 90s.
*The conversation in front of the [[Wikipedia:Eiffel Tower|Eiffel Tower]], between Marzipan and The Cheat about their "secret past," is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:1942|1942]] film ''[[Wikipedia:Casablanca|Casablanca]]''.
*When The Anouncer does the poor imitation of Marshie's line "Made from the best stuff!" it is a reference to the poor slogan imitations radio/T.V. anouncers do.

===Fast Forward===
*A poster for "Litigation Jackson 2" appears in an Easter egg in the Strong Bad email [[rampage]].
*The music playing in the Marzipan/The Cheat scene can be heard again in [[2 years]] and one of the Easter eggs of Strong Bad Email [[pom pom]].

===Commentary Transcript===

'''MATT:''' Homestar's wearing a Burger King crown, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' That's right, and he's taped a puff of, uh, poly-fill to his chin with a piece of tape.

'''MATT:''' How do you think Marzipan's keeping that halo over her head?

'''MIKE:''' Hey, the same way Homestar Runner picks up toys.

'''MATT:''' Oooh, item—... yeah, I really like the crowd in, um, that's watching the Decemberween Pageant.

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

'''MATT:''' I just drew this really quick drawing, and you were like, "Nope, we're keepin' it."

'''MATT:''' ''{gibberish, in the voice of The Announcer}''

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, did YOU do this voice, Matt?

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' I'm going to join you doing the commentary this time, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, it this announcer guy.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Uh, I usually like to rep—, say that things are sponsored by Dolly Madison...

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

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ...and York Peppermint Patties.

'''MIKE:''' So, Matt, are you back?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that guy left.

'''MIKE:''' I remember this cartoon was made in a...

'''MATT:''' A fury.

'''MIKE:''' ... a fury, and at the end of it, I was in pretty rough shape.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, did we go out...

'''MIKE:''' We went to that Mexican restaurant with Renee and Matt's dad.

'''MATT:''' ... and Stacy— did we meet Stacy Bodee that time, too? Did she show up later?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think that's... I think we did.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we both hadn't slept the night before, and we went and had margaritas lat—''{laughs}'' at the Mexican restaurant. That was a good idea. I like this play!

'''MIKE:''' There's part of me that wants to see the rest of the play.

'''MATT:''' Yeah we— we should make the entire play.

'''MIKE:''' Archibald, Dr. Christmas, is that one?

'''MATT:''' The Popular Vote.

'''MIKE:''' The Popular Vote...

'''MATT:''' The show must go on.

'''MIKE:''' Two Kobe Bryants.

'''MATT:''' Two different Kobes.

'''MIKE:''' This was before Kobe was quite as controversial as he is now.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Although his controversy is waning

'''MATT:''' He was clean as driven snow.

'''MIKE:''' We're all forgetting.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, just like O. J..

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he's playing basketball well, and— you know.

'''MATT:''' What do you think those gears... gears are part of?

'''MIKE:''' I think they might be inside a clock tower.

'''MATT:''' Oh. I always thought the were in some toy-making machine.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. No, it's a clock tower.

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' So I think we've mentioned it before...

'''MATT:''' Ooh.

'''MIKE:''' That that's the stage from Vanderlin Elementary where we went to elementary school.

'''MATT:''' What was the name of the play that you were in when you were in a big Sylvester the Cat costume?

'''MIKE:''' That was, uh, um, "Toys"... "Christmas Toys" ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' "Babes in..."?

'''MIKE:''' "Babes in.." It was from "Babes in Toyland". It was a snippet of that movie.

'''MATT:''' Oh, okay.

'''MIKE:''' "Babes in Toyland" and I forget what it was called.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, look at that guy on the far— in the front row on the far right. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Is that his mouth?

'''MATT:''' Is that his shoulder? Is that his nose?

'''MIKE:''' Does he have a big hand? A mitten-hand?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' ''{regarding The Cheat crying}'' Awwww.

'''MIKE:''' Dry your eyes!

'''MATT:''' Is she breaking up with The Popular Vote here?

'''MIKE:''' In Paris! She took him to Paris to break up with him.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' ''{regarding Homestar's "upchucking" phrase}'' Eww, Mike.

'''MATT:''' This really gives a lot— this is how the fifth grade plays that we were in as kids ran backstage, too. I think.

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

'''MATT:''' There is a lot of insight in to the production of such a play.

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

'''MIKE:''' I like it.

'''MATT:''' It's hard to sing as Bubs.

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

'''MATT:''' Especially back then.

'''MIKE:''' I like the fe— the kind of hand motions and head-raising when you would sing in elementary school.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah.

'''MIKE:''' When you hit those high notes, you gotta lift your head back.

'''MATT & MIKE:''' ''{singing}'' "Buuuuuut, theeeeee, cat came back..."

'''MATT:''' So, this is some good improv, they're just havin' make all this stuff up, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, presumably. I think there was a computer involved in our fifth grade Christmas play.

'''MATT:''' There was. Yeah. Was the— was the computer a character, even?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, it wasn't a character, because if it was I certainly would've been playing it.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' So... so is that his line he was all worried about memorizing, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' Is he supposed to ''say'' "What?" or...

'''MIKE:''' That's what I— that's how I wrote it.

'''MATT:''' That's the old Burger King logo on his Burger King crown, there, too. I wish they'd bring that back.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe they will now that you've asked for it.

===Fun Facts===
*''[[Wikipedia:Babes in Toyland|Babes in Toyland]]'' was a classic Abbot and Costello movie (remade by Disney in the early 1960s) set in Santa's Workshop.

Jimmy91: /**/Homestar defying gravity

==Expen$e Account Ones Easter Egg==

I respectfully disagree with the assertion that this Easter Egg is a reference to the "Real American Heroes" Bud Light Campaign. The voice-over for this spot was, in my opinion, a pretty good Ted Koppel impersonation. I think the idea was just to have this spot sound more stuffy and business-like, but, if others agree, mentioning the Ted Koppel impersonation may be worth it. [66.61.20.81] 19:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:I wouldn't say Ted Koppel is the source of the voice, but the structure and tone of the commercial is a reference to either the Bud Light campaign or Miller commercials. I'm willing to accept that the community will feel it's [[TTATOT]], but it's clear to me that the voice is clearly an attempt at mimicking a particular voice. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:I also don't think its a reference to the Real American Heroes. The voice didnt match at all
:It sounded to me more like the Miller High Life commercials voice where they talk about "living the high life" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lb28iZKHJc (example)
::I'm sure it's a Miller High Life parody. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe it's not a reference to anything in particular? Maybe Matt was just mustering a generic overpaid executive voice? [[User:Evil Egg|Evil Egg]] 12:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

==The Field==

i've never seen that style of trees in the field before. is it new? [[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 18:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:Looks like. They're all the time tweaking those bushes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
::Or maybe these bushes are from Foreign Lands? Free County UK or summat? [[User:Evil Egg|Evil Egg]] 12:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:::That would be speculation. It's far more likely TBC are just playing with/refining the style of the bushes for whatever reason. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

== Take off wedding rings ==

This is not a reference to Strongbad's boxing glove hands at all, but the tendency of some male business people on the road to remove their wedding rings to hide the fact that they are married to other women they might meet. I moved this to explanations and removed the inside reference. A mention of vaugly hand related things doen't make a reference. --[[User:Foolster41|Foolster41]] 19:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

:Since this, it's been removed. Why come? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

::Hmmm. I also think this is worth including (just the ring explanation, not the boxing-glove stuff). [[User:Some kind of scientist|Some kind of scientist]] 17:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I put it back as: "the tendency of some business people (primarily male) on the road to remove their wedding rings to hide the fact that they are married to other women they might meet." Hopefully it will stick this time. --[[User:Foolster41|Foolster41]] 08:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

:'''*"Take off wedding rings" on the itinerary refers to the tendency of some business people (primarily male) on the road to remove their wedding rings to hide the fact that they are married to other women they might meet.''' Maybe we shouldn't explain this joke. To ''really'' explain it would probably cross the line into becoming un-family-friendly. Anyway, if we keep it, it certainly needs to be reworded<s>, but I have no suggestions</s>. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 13:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
::Okay, by putting it that way I run the risk of being called unhelpful. My suggestion is that we get rid of it completely. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 13:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I don't think we need a fact at all — I think anything we include will explain the joke too much. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Nah. I like the way it is as Optimistic fool suggested it above. It explains the joke without saying too much (The Itinerary bit is a good add.). Adults know exactly WHY a guy would hide the fact that he's married. Seems to me something that should have an explanation too. since it is actually referring to something. --[[User:Foolster41|Foolster41]] 06:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

== You - You've earned it. ==
Is this a reference to the scene in Ghostbusters where Venkman gives the candy bar to Egon? Just a coincidence?
:Oh, wow. Why didn't I recognise that? o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

==Conglomerate...==
I'm pretty sure that conglomerate is a rock. A sedimentary rock, at that. I have no idea what TBC would be referencing though... --[[User:Chiron|Chiron]] 23:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
*A conglomerate rock is a bunch of rocks formed into one. A business conglomerate is a bunch of companies formed into one. -[[User:141.133.160.52|141.133.160.52]] 23:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== Delivery-ceivables ==

in the transcript for the last easter egg is says "Delivery Receivables", but if you listen to it, the announcer elides it into one word, like Delivericeivables. Not quite sure if there should be a note explaining it. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 23:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar's Soles ==

*Homestar's feet don't have stars in the soles, as they did in [[One, Two, One, Two]]. 
Is this notable? I'm not really STUFFing it now because I'm neutral to its inclusion. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:I think the sole-stars are a stylistic inclusion. The One Two Homestar picture is of an ever-so-slightly different style than normal. Please to be also referring to [[crying]], where he is in the usual style, also with no stars. Additionally, the footprints he leaves in the snow in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] have no stars. Thusly, I feel the stars are NOT typical of the normal Homestar, and only appear in style changes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah, I think that makes sense. I agree. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:::If that's the case, then should we note the stars on his soles in One Two? If it's considerable to call it out of norm, then we should make note of it.{{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 00:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, don't forget that he had the stars on the soles in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

==St.Louis==
They brought The Cheat an swimming airplane from St. Louis, why implies that they went to St. Louis, even though they went to the King's castle and went to the bar. Did they even go anywhere for the buisness trip?-[[User:68.116.129.182|68.116.129.182]] 02:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:<s>I think we should at least mention Lambert International Airport, because that must have been where he likely got it.</s> Now that I read it again, did they even go anywhere? In some cases, I think it's possible. The Brother's Chaps try to reuse as much stuff as they can. Then again maybe "not going on pointless business trips." Means that the Cheat actually goes somewhere. [[User:70.232.141.225|70.232.141.225]] 11:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
::I think it's just speaking to the cheapness of the souvenirs that it just has the name of some random city. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with where they actually went.

== Scantily? ==

Should we maybe point out that Strong Bad misused (whether TBC did it intentionally or not) the word "scantily"? {{User:LongLiveCoachZ/sig}} 03:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:Strong Bad does that kind of thing all the time, really. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar jumping ==

Pretty sure that's a reference to scooby doo. Especially since it has to do with "rustling" in some bushes.
*Chances are maybe not. Homestar would have sounded like our good ol' little dog if he would try to make that reference. But then again, maybe his speech impediments make that impossible. [[User:70.232.141.225|70.232.141.225]] 11:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

==Goes Down Smooth?==
Is there any explanation of the easter egg voiceover forthcoming? What does it mean? It sounds kind of like a dirty joke, but that's so not-Homestar Runner. [[User:140.180.166.176|140.180.166.176]] 15:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
:As noted in the Real World References section (and misidentified by myself -.-;; ), the egg is a parody of the Miller commercials, right down to the tone of the announcer. "Goes down smooth" is a phrase that is commonly used in beer commercials, so I think TBC snuck in a subtle double entendre there with no really meaning. It could also be unintentional. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:35, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

As of this posting, there is an explanation phrased thus: "''A continental breakfast typically consists of juice, coffee, tea, pastries and fruit. Many hotels '''frequented by business travelers''' have such breakfasts available at no charge for guests.''" I call the bolded portion into question.

Strong Bad's Technology

Jimmy91 — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 18:46:16 GMT

Jimmy91: /* Computers */ added Zappy XT6

{{about|running gag}} {{foremail|technology}}
[[Image:Strong Bad lamenting The Paper.png|thumb|"Why do all my thirty-year-old electronics keep breaking on me?!"]]
[[Strong Bad]] shows a strong preference for out-of-date '''technology'''. Sometimes his feelings are so strong they lead to a state of denial, in which he describes such outmoded technologies as cutting-edge. Similarly, the company [[Videlectrix]], which Strong Bad endorses, seems to embrace a mission plan of releasing 8-bit and 16-bit "[[Peasant's Quest Preview#Easter Eggs|video computer games on TV]]" which they consider to have "good graphics". Strong Bad continually remains adamant that his computers are high tech. In [[animal]] and [[redesign]], however, Strong Bad mocks [[The Cheat]]'s use of "new computers".

== Appearances ==
*[[Strong Bad Sings]] - Strong Bad appears to think that a record holds more than a CD, as the announcer states that the collection is available on 3 records or 7 CDs. Also, he claims that it's available on [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-track cassettes]].
**An 8-track tape could also have more songs than a record, depending how long the songs are and if the record is 33, 45, or 78 rpm.
*Several occasions - The only telephone that Strong Bad ever seems to answer is an old fashioned mounted telephone, with the headpiece attached to the base by wire.
**Although the headpiece should be attached to the base, Strong Bad's appears to be [[Disconnected Telephones|disconnected]] from the base.
*Almost every [[Strong Bad Email]] - Strong Bad uses outdated [[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|computers]], and praised the [[Compy 386]] and [[Lappy 486]] as state-of-the-art computers with awesome features. [[The Paper]], as well, appears to come from a tractor-fed dot matrix printer. In home use, such printers are now nearly non-existent.
*Almost every [[Strong Bad Email]] - The operating system that Strong Bad uses on the Tandy 400 resembles that of [[Wikipedia:ProDOS|ProDOS]], while the Compy 386 and Lappy 486 resemble that of [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]], both of which have been replaced with [[Wikipedia:Gui|GUI operating systems]] in most modern home computers.
*Email [[duck pond]] - Strong Bad says that the [[Atari 2600|Atari]] version of [[Duck Pond]] has state-of-the-art graphics.
*Email [[gimmicks]] - Despite Strong Sad's claim that he could replace the [[Tandy 400]] with a comparable computer "at a yard sale for, like, fifteen dollars," Strong Bad asserts that he "liked that computer." He evidently disregards Strong Sad's encouragement to get a modern computer when he chooses the [[Compy 386]].
**Despite the accurate price description by Strong Sad, he still asks to borrow 900 dollars, most of which was presumably not spent on a new computer.
*Email [[weird dream]] - Strong Bad is unaware of how to use The Cheat's [[Tangerine Dreams|iMac's]] [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].
*Email [[lures & jigs]] - Strong Bad refers to [[Fishing Challenge '91]] as "the pinnacle of graphics".
*Email [[50 emails]] (Easter Egg) - [[Old Timey Strong Bad]] used a "telegramaphone" (more commonly a [[Wikipedia:telegraph|telegraph]]), although by the 1930s they had been almost completely replaced by the telephone.
*Email [[website]] - [[Strong Bad's Website]] is similar to many other outdated ones created during the '90s.
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] (Easter Egg) - Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] constructed a working telephone from the canister marked "eww" in the cardboard box prison.
**However, the tin can phone is still able to call Marzipan's Answering Machine, when it should only be able to talk to another can.
*Email [[video games]] - Strong Bad considers the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]-style [[RhinoFeeder]] to be on a brand new and super-photorealistic system.
**He also thinks that the individual red pixel that represents the player in [[Secret Collect.]] looks "kinda like [him]".
*Email [[haircut]] - Strong Bad edits a Polaroid picture of [[Strong Mad]] with a marker, claiming that he's using a light pen to edit a scanned picture.
**Here, he also refers to the tech as "Cutting art, state-of-the-edge".
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9]] - Strong Bad is irate that [[Wikipedia:GameStop|Babbages]] has no [[Wikipedia:Turbografx|Turbografx]] games (which today are next to impossible to find).
*[[Real-Live E-Mails]] - Strong Bad is unaware of the term "burning DVDs" and sets fire to a spindle of them using the [[BMW Lighter]].
*[[Biz Cas Fri 3]] - Strong Bad fails to back up his files, and then seems to think he can do so by keeping some of the ashes of his exploded computer.
**Strong Bad's computer is unable to open the 3 gigabyte attachment entitled "catonfire_fallingfromanairplane.exe" and thus explodes.
*Email [[extra plug]] - Not only are the 'lectric boots low tech, taking up all the house's electricity, but the TV that [[Strong Sad]], [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[Strong Mad]] are watching is very old and outdated.
*Email [[radio]] - The walkie talkies that Strong Bad and The Cheat use are highly outdated.
*Email [[lady...ing]] - Strong Bad uses a [[Wikipedia:Laserdisc|Laserdisc]] and sings a brief, nostalgic tribute to the medium, saying that "everything is better on Laserdisc".
*Email [[animal]] - Strong Bad scoffs at [[The Cheat]] for using ''new'' computers.
*Email [[long pants]] - Strong Bad deems the email "too long" and proceeds to edit it with a white-out pen, which he calls a "light pen" with "expensive electrons". When the plan backfires on him, though, he refers to it as "stupid made-up technology that I made up".
*Email [[highschool]] - Baby Strong Bad wishes the video games of his earlier era were "better."
*Email [[portrait]] - Strong Bad is shown holding a "re-eally o-o-ld ce-e-ll phone".
*Email [[technology]] - A whole email on the subject; Strong Bad makes numerous references to older technologies being state-of-the-art. He also claims that he prefers early [[Wikipedia:floppy disks|floppy disks]] over [[Wikipedia:diskette|diskettes]], erroneously stating that "they have more memory".
*Email [[alternate universe]] - The [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] that Strong Bad uses to make his high tech "alternate universe [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|portal]]" is an original monochrome model, which is highly outdated and no longer produced.
*Email [[senior prom]] - Strong Bad pretends to get a message on his "answering machine" from "[[Strong Bad's Ladies|Delilelia]]", when it's actually a clock radio with a paper reading "an answering machine (trust me)" taped to it. Strong Bad himself provides "Delilelia's" voice.
*Email [[isp]] - Strong Bad's computer, besides having a ridiculously slow Internet connection, uses an icon of a 5-1/4-inch floppy disk on its download-progress screen.
**Strong Bad claims his internet connection potentially runs at "1200 [[Wikipedia:Baud|baud]]" – while it is impossible to say how fast this really is without knowing the standard the [[Wikipedia:Modem|modem]] uses to connect, describing the speed in baud typically was only used with older modems (1980s and earlier), so the modem is probably encoding around 2 or 3 bits per symbol, thus achieving transfer rate of either 2.4[[Wikipedia:Kilobits per second|kbit/s]] or 3.6kbit/s. Note however that no [[Wikipedia:ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector|ITU-T]] standard transferred at 1200 baud, jumping from 600 baud in [[Wikipedia:V.22|V.22]] to 2400 baud in its successor, [[Wikipedia:V.32|V.32]]. It is possible, however, for a 2400 baud or higher modem to run at only 1200 baud if it is on a low-quality phone line.
*Email [[redesign]] - Strong Bad thinks that the LCD monitor on [[The Cheat's iMac (2006)|The Cheat's new computer]] had the backside sliced off, and he refers to his wireless mouse as a "plastic bar of soap." He also believes that the scroll ticker replacement for the NO LOAFING sign has "advanced animation."
*Email [[road trip]] - Strong Bad believes the 8-Track cassette player to be "forwards-compatible" with CDs.
*Email [[trading cards]] - Strong Bad considers the title screen of the 1982 Videlectrix video game [[C.H.E.A.T.]] "the day they invented good graphics."
*Email [[the movies]] - Strong Bad watches the movie [[Karate Car]], which is entirely [[ASCII art]].
*Email [[the paper]] - As the printer and The Paper malfunction, Strong Bad cries "Why do all my 30-year-old electronics keep breaking on me?"

==Fun Facts==
*Most of the graphics that Strong Bad refers to as "good" are from an [[Atari 2600]] or from a Super NES, which is what made [[Super NES|the first H*R cartoon]].
*He needed to call tech support in order to remove the "light pen" markings from the Lappy's screen.
*The [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command "dir/p", the command used on the Compy 386 Email Menu, would display the contents of the current directory and pause after displaying each info screen.

==Inconsistencies==

*Though the Compy appears to mostly use [[Wikipedia:Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]] graphics, it is capable of [[Wikipedia:SVGA|SVGA]] graphics, as indicated by [[Extra Real Dating Sim XR|Homestar Runner and Marzipan Extra Real Dating Sim XR]] in [[date]].
**Strong Bad also must have a scanner of some sort, as he is able to upload photos and also videos. This is strange as his computers normally appear to be unable to do this.
*Though Strong Bad appears to be incapable of comprehension of today's technology, he does make note of such modern technologies as [[Wikipedia: HDTV|HD]] and [[Wikipedia: wide screen|wide screen]].
*Strong Bad is able to operate [[Pom Pom]]'s [[Pom Pilot]] in [[the bird]].
*Even though Strong Bad's computers use DOS, there have been [[credit card|a couple]] of [[lunch special|occasions]] where a cursor has appeared.
*In [[long pants]], Strong Bad calls "tech support" to remove the light pen markings from his screen. If the markings were successfully removed, which they were, then Strong Bad's monitor would have to be a CRT monitor as opposed to an LCD. CRT monitors do not create a ripple effect when pressed, as do LCD.
*Strong Bad is connected to the internet via a modem, as shown in [[isp]]. Thus, he should not be able to use the phone to speak with tech support while downloading from the internet.

==Strong Bad's Computers etc==
Besides his outdated computers, Strong Bad uses several other low-tech implements. He so often uses these, it is almost impossible to find an implement of technology that Strong Bad has that is not outdated.
===Computers===
*[[Tandy 400]] - Strong Bad's first computer. He used it to check emails 1-40. It exploded due to random malfunction.
*[[Compy 386]] - Strong Bad's second computer. He used it to check emails 41-118. He was so distraught when [[Bubs]] shot it in [[virus]], he was unable to compose himself enough to yell and argue with Bubs.
*[[Lappy 486]] - Strong Bad's current computer. To date, he has used it to check all emails since 119, excluding [[from work]]. He claims that it is portable, weighing in at 42 pounds. Also appears in [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|female]] form.
*[[Block]] - Its only appearance is in [[other days]]. Strong Bad uses it to check his Polish emails. Although it appears to be in the same room as his other computer, it is never visible on his desk.
*[[Corpy NT6]] - This is Strong Bad's computer at [[the office]]. It is obviously outdated as it runs on [[DOS]] like SB's home computers, and is unable to open a 3GB attachment.
*[[Zappy XT6]] - This futuristic computer is a hovering, light blue, translucent screen with circuitry imprints on it and a logo on the bottom left. Below it is a holographic keyboard which makes cosmic sounds when Strong Bad types. Its only appearence is in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] exclusive email "[[Accent]]". The "XT6" in its name is a reference to [[20X6]].

===Software===
*[[Edgar]] The Virus Hunter - Strong Bad's virus protection software was programmed by only one person, is apparently never maintained, and also seems to only have a scan function.
*[[Edgar#Edga Jr.|Edga Jr.]] - A simple piece of software that automatically deletes emails of a certain length.
*[[Edgar#Edgar's Baby's Daddy|Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] - Another simple application that removes and archives all emails with the sender named "Homestar Runner".
*[[DOS|The Operating System]] - Although this is often overlooked, the operating system Strong Bad runs is [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]], which is almost never used in modern day life.
*[[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning#System Errors|Computer Error Alerts]] - These include "Flagrant System Error", "Computer over", "Flamboyant System Error", and "Teal Screen of Near Death (TSoND)".

===Other===
*[[The Paper]] - The Paper is apparently a tractor-feed dot matrix printer that for some reason can never be seen on top of Strong Bad's computer, even though it always feeds from the top of the screen. It seemed to be malfunctioning in the email [[more armies]], and, as predicted in [[montage]], The Paper called it quits in email #173, [[the paper]], where it was replaced with [[New Paper|an inkjet printer]].
*The "[[Permanent Marker|light pen]]" - Used in [[haircut]] to edit the hairstyle of a "scanned" picture of [[Strong Mad]]. It was later used in [[long pants]] to make the email shorter.
*[[Floppy Disk Container]] - Strong Bad still uses floppy disks to store information and games. It was revealed in [[technology]] that he preferred the older 5¼" floppy disks to the newer 3½" diskettes, claiming (incorrectly) that the 5¼" disks hold more memory.
*[[Telebision]] - An older TV, circa the '70s, complete with knobs and dials.
*[[Cakkalate]] - Strong Bad's simple solar calculator that is "the future of technology" since it is wireless (according to him).

[[Image:Tompkins color.PNG|thumb|120px|"I got [[Nintendo|Bowser]] on the ropes!"]]
'''Tompkins''' is a little boy that taunted the [[Teen Girl Squad]] in their [[School|preschool]] days. When the girls taunt him back, he runs off and [[Death|dies]], somehow leaving his body cut into thirds. His toddler voice sounds quite similar to that of [[Lil' Strong Bad]]. He was also in [[rock opera]], where he is shown laughing at and pointing to [[Anonymous]].

He is seen as a teenager in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], where he is called to Prinicpal [''sic''] [[Strong Bad]]'s office. [[So and So]] thinks he's a renegade, and as "The Over-Achiever Bandit", she even finished the rest of his pre-algebra homework, earning him an A++++++. After So and So and [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brett Bretterson|Brett Bretterson]] become "splittsville", she attempted to get to [[Making Out|first base]] with him in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], but he rejected her whilst playing his [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]]. He has red hair, and possibly has braces.

Tompkins lives in a [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Tompkins's House|house]] with his mother, [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Momkins|Momkins]], and his baby brother, [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Timkins|Timkins]].

In the commentary for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7#Commentary Transcript|Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] state that Tompkins is based on their young cousin. He has threatened to push them down into some "snakewater", as Tompkins does to the girls.

[[Image:sbemail18.PNG|thumb|Lil' Strong Bad needs to invest in a belt.]]

Joe P. asks Strong Bad if he has ever done any stand-up comedy.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, [[Lil' Strong Bad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[Stages|The Stage]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 18, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:27

'''Page Title:''' Tandy 400!!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Something has compelled me to check my email.

<blockquote class="tandy email">dear strong bad, 
ur a real, funy guy. have you ever done any 
stand up comidic stuff? 
 
crapfully crappy, 
joe p.</blockquote>

''{He pronounces the first sentence as it's spelled: "Urr a real fewney guy." He also pronounces "comidic" as spelled and "joe p." as "Jopy".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No. No. No. I mean, no. Never. No. What? No. ''{leaves computer}''

''{Strong Sad sticks his head in the scene. Computer blurs out of focus.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Psst. Come with me. ''{leaves computer}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, now with a [[Telebision]]. He walks in, carrying a video tape marked "S.B. Talent Show" and inserts it into his old-fashioned wooden VCR. The video shows a younger-looking Coach Z with a huge afro and mustache on-stage talking into a microphone.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Once again, thank you to little Marzipan and her wonderful clogging. Okay, so up next we got the comedy stylings of little  Strong Bad.

''{Coach Z walks off stage as Lil' Strong Bad walks on from the left to general applause. He lowers the microphone.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Thank you Coach Z, ''{pause}'' for not patting my butt. ''{audience laughs}'' Good evening, ladies and germs. Um... How about this cafeteria food? Is it cardboard or is it pizza? ''{more audience laughs, though less pronounced; Lil' Strong Bad looks uneasy}'' You know, 'cause it...tastes bad. Um... What about that one...that joke... Coach Z's hair is funny looking. Don't you guys think? 'Cause it's big... He has really big hair...

''{Lil' Strong Bad's pants fall down. He looks down at them as the audience laughs.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no!

''{Lil' Strong Bad starts running offstage, but falls down just as he reaches the edge of the screen. The screen goes blank. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad is seen [[Strong Bad Wearing a Shirt|with a shirt on]].
*This is the first email showing [[Lil' Strong Bad]].
*This is the first time Strong Bad's legs are shown without [[pants]].

===Remarks===
*[[The VCR]] is made by Totaltronics.
*Lil' Strong Bad doesn't have the highlights in his eyes that the older Strong Bad does.
*When the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] blurs out, the green lines on its screen stop moving.
*Strong Sad shows us this tape on his own TV/VCR in [[Strong Sad's Room|his room]]. Note the purple walls. [[Strong Bad's basement]] has red wallpaper. While the TV is identical, Strong Bad's VCR is not nearly so retro.
*[[Marzipan]] is able to clog dance, despite her lack of legs.

===Goofs===
*If you change the contrast to anything but black, it will change back to black when Strong Sad steps in front of the Tandy, and back to whatever color you had when he moves away.
*When Lil' Strong Bad runs away screaming "Oh no!", his mouth doesn't move.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives another email signed with the word [[Crapfully Yours|crapfully]].
*Strong Sad's [[Telebision]] is the same as the one used in the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu]].
*This is another mention of [[pizza]].

===Fast Forward===
*In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "middle school" flashback shows that he, Coach Z, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were all roughly the same age. However, Strong Sad's video in this email shows Coach Z as an adult while Strong Bad was still a little kid. The discrepancy can probably be explained by Strong Bad's "extremely unphotographic" memory.
*Lil' Strong Bad is wearing underwear in this email. In [[New Boots]], Strong Bad says he doesn't wear "underwears."
**Strong Bad wears briefs again on [[Main Page 24]].
*Strong Bad does do more stand-up in [[theme song]] (at least in a fantasy sequence).
*Coach Z is shown with an afro and mustache in [[record book]], [[what I want]], and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]].

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

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

'''MIKE:''' So... here's another email that we made.

'''MATT:''' On our wed— ''{trips over his own tongue}'' wedthighs. It's, uh... I remember thinking how ambitious it was at the time.

'''MIKE:''' It ''is'' ambitious for—

'''MATT:''' Not only do we cut away... Um... Ahhh... Yeah... What?

'''MIKE:''' We've got a rack focus right here. Oooh, blurry monitor.

'''MATT:''' That's the old Strong Bad mouth, though. That's not very good. I remember this, that VCR was pretty complicated—

'''MIKE:''' That's Strong Sad.

'''MATT:''' S—what'd I say?

'''MIKE:''' Strong ''Bad''. Strong Bad's the one with the ''red'' face.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' The tracking is amazing. Mike did that tracking and that little rainbow effect.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we used that a lot of times.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, 'cause it's so good. Nobody ever-

'''MIKE:''' Hold up!

'''MATT:''' —Why are people not as concerned with Coach Z with the fro and mustache?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, no one cared.

'''MATT:''' I think it's great! And little  Strong Bad, he's wearing a—that's not a tuxedo, Mike, it's one of those tuxedo T-shirts.

'''MIKE:''' Like...the kind that Mark Cohen used to have.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And if you, uh, look, he's wearing—he's got elastic waistband pants, khaki pants.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Garanimals.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Garanimals. Yep, that's the stage from our elementary school, from [http://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/~vanderlyn/ Vanderlyn Elementary School], which we later make even more obvious in a Christmas cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Oooh! So this is also the only other time we reveal that Strong Bad actually has, like, legs, like flesh— flesh legs.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah.

== Glitch ==

I was watching the toon while holding down the tab button to look for easter eggs, so at the end I was holding it down and the paper was just stuck there covering the whole screen of the lappy and the audio for the "downhill" easter egg played. Just thought I'd share {{User:Rootbeersoup/sig}} 18:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

== On the flash file itself, ==

The second time that Strong Bad and Homestar try to make it look like "Original Bubs" is there (DEESH WARSH), "Concessions by Original Bubs" is written backwards!

== Rock 'em Sock 'em Reference? ==

Wouldn't "Strong Bad's head popping up" be a reference to Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots? Just want to know before I add it on. : [[User:75.33.123.41|75.33.123.41]] 21:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

No. If it was a Rock 'em Sock 'em reference, they would make it more obvious, and would make the animation look more like a Rock 'em Sock 'em robot. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 22:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
*Ya, you have a good point there. [[User:75.33.123.41|75.33.123.41]] 22:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

== Kick The Can ==

Did anyone find the Homestar/Marzipan Easter Egg an obvious reference to [[Kick The Can]] and/or [[The Reddest Radish]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:There have been a few can kicks done in HSR universe before, I don't think it would count. [[User:75.33.123.41|75.33.123.41]]

::::Umm... The only closest reference to that is the toon "[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]" other than that I don't remember that happening in the HSRU... Oh, wait. "The Storm of '28," nevermind. [[User:75.33.123.41|75.33.123.41]]
:::::Since Oldtimey Homestar did that, it made me think they were about to mention that Homestar had been a replacement himself, for the 'original' old Homestar.

== Shadow? ==

Also, when his head is popped up, his head's shadow does not move on his neck. The URL of the image is "vulomedia.com/images/65110Picture48.png" I don't think my brain is at its best today, would this be a shadow problem? I have some disagreement with that for some reason, no idea why. [[User:75.33.123.41|75.33.123.41]] 22:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

== No "Click here to email strongbad" ==

Is it important to note that this is the first email to NOT have a "Click here to email strongbad" link? [[User:67.177.36.237|67.177.36.237]] 23:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:It's not. See the section "Something" further up.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
*Retirement - "It was me. I like hushpuppies." is not clickable. Original does have a "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad" link. It's just too quick for some people to click.

== Letterman ==

:''Strong Bad's mention of talk show hosts using guest hosts when they have surgery is a reference to [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|David Letterman]].''
The above was removed from the article. I'm not going to do an exhaustive search, so I won't bother claiming Letterman is the ''only'' host to have undergone surgery, but he's certainly the most popular one in recent memory to do so, and I think it's very likely TBC would have had him (and only him) in mind as they wrote the line. The only person I can think of who has both had guest hosts and is as notable as Dave is Johnny Carson, but [[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson#Guest hosts|this section]] doesn't make any mention of a surgery. I think the link to Letterman should be restored, at least in some form. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:Regis too. But can anyone come up with a reference to a talk-show host in prison?--[[User:71.203.169.248|71.203.169.248]] 05:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
::Or more recently, Roger Ebert. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:::To note, some anonny added Rush Limbaugh, who (according to anonny) got replacements for both surgery AND legal trouble. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

== Manilla cheese choke? ==

In Homestar's Line to Senor Cardgage, I'm pretty sure I hear "manilla cheese choke" instead of "manilla cheese Coke".--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 02:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

== James Bond reference? ==

Does anyone else think the reference to replacing Original Bubs with an unknown that had zero experience (and it going 'downhill' from there) was a reference to the James Bond series? I mean, that's exactly what George Lazenby was - an unknown with zero experience. And the wide opinion is that the series DEFINITELY went downhill from there.
:It's a reference to many instances of jumping the shark. Lots of people consider [http://jumptheshark.com/forum/Character-Different-Actor/19 replacing an actor] as an instance of when the show begins to decline. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I noticed something very interesting. In [[best thing]], the description of the alternative rock band that knocked Limozeen off the charts seems to accurately describe sloshy.

All the members of sloshy have short hair, so if Limozeen had been knocked off the charts by them, Mary would have said "And they've got short hair!" rather than "And the drummer's got short hair!" It's more likely that these are just common examples of indie/alternative fashion in contrast to 80s metal fashion. -ART
:::Limozeen didn't say that the band kicked them off didn't have a guitarist, they just didn't bother mentioning him, probably because he wasn't doing anything as unmetal as the rest of the band.

==Buy all play sets and toys!==

With the Cheat Commandos toys showing up, along with the Troop Transport, again in this short, do we do anything beyond just mentioning them here in the transcript and references? I'm sorta surprised that the individual accessories (like the Troop Transport) don't at least have images with them. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== Email song? ==

I can't shake the feeling that the email song is a reference to some metal song. My first guess was Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid,' but that's not it. Any ideas, or am I just insane? [[User:76.99.103.184|76.99.103.184]] 17:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

== Not a "special" email? ==

So I guess this email #175 is not a "special" email, in the spirits of emails 50, 100, & 150? I suppose we can all agree that "25th anniversary" emails (25 integrals ending in -25 and -75) have not been given special treatment that agknowledge their number. --[[User:Compdude|Compdude]]

== Tex-mex? ==

I know it was me that wrote the transcript... But the 'tex-mex' bit was mostly a guess, and now that I think about it, it didn't really sound like tex-mex... it was sorta like... tech-mesh. or tetrex.. [[User:Yadaman|Yadaman]] 04:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Possible reference ==

When Strong Bad throws that record at Strong Sad and a piece gets stuck in his head, I thought it very similar to a scene in the movie Shaun of the Dead in which a record is thrown at a zombie and a very similar thing happens. Think it's enough of a reference to make the page?
:I personally thought it was a reference to an episode of Family Guy when Stewie gets a piece of glass lodged in his forehead. Except ''he'' is the one that crashes into the sharp objects (a glass cabinet), not the other way around. [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 10:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

When the island Strong Bad is standing on is sinking and he says something about killing end bosses, I think it's a reference to STH3 when, after defeating the final boss of the game, Angel Island falls from the sky and lands in the sea. There's also another game, Sonic & Knuckles, where I think the island actually floats into the sky again, again after defeating the final boss. [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 15:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' All your questions....sort of answered!!

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover}'' Previously on HomestarRunner.com... ''{Pronounces "previously" with a short e}''

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and snapping noises can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]] that takes place in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black tea set on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE''': ''{voiceover}'' The DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. Strong Bad's statue of him wrestling a cougar is sitting by a couch with Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom is halfway off the screen. He leaves followed by Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter Egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. Mumbling is heard in the background. Strong Sad has an easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Attention! Your attention please!

''{cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The mumbling stops. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': After extensive investigation, I'm ready to release ''{raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart}'' my findings. I first spoke with...

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Marzipan. ''{Pronounces it "Marcy-pon"}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the couch moves onto the screen. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Something made of glass is just visible behind one of the cushions. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut to close up of Marzipan inspecting the tube. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Just like in the movies. ''{he writes something down}''

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN''': ...and ''this'' ''{holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped "TAMPERED WITH!"}'' is all I got back.

''{Right scroll to Bubs in the garage.}''

'''BUBS''': Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my...

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...toga-yoga class ''{Bubs takes off toga}'' when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Toga Marzipan walks on to the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this ''{she holds up the test tube}'' DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to inside of stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS''': Sure thing! But it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

'''MARZIPAN''': Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know...

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS''': Coming right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to shelf with four push-spout jars labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of said color liquid, except for the "Green Apple", which has a hole in the bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS''': Ooh. Er.

''{Cut to bubs holding an unflavored snow cone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS''': Uh. ''{Looks at snow cone.}'' Blaaaah. ''{Looks at evidence.}''

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS''': Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' cough, cough... ''{looks back at Strong Bad}'' green apple snow cone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down. He stops and looks up.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You served the DNA in a snow cone?!

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS''': And it sold ''{raises arm}'' like hotcake!

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk leaning back in his chair. He has the cool shades on, and there is a lit cigarette in the ash tray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I bought the DNA snow cone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in the smoky office, writing with the pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{As he says this, Strong Bad leans to the right. Marzipan holds up the tube and talks to Bubs. Strong Bad rubs his hands together and jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to shelf with snow cone flavoring. Green Apple is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad appears and punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil before ducking down again. The liquid pours out. Cut to inside view. Soft music starts again.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Bubs-keep, one green-app snoke, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': By the time I got home, it was all melted.

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing the shades, and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs ''{Strong Bad puts the glass on the desk and walks offscreen}'' to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': You left it on your desk, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{Right scroll to Homestar in his living room.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's the other day. ''{frowns}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. The glass is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwa.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Don't mind if I dwa! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to dripping The Cheat.}''

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

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwa-dwa.

''{Cut back to The Cheat wiping himself off with a white towel.}''

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

''{Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{Right scroll to Coach Z in the locker room, looking upset.}''

'''COACH Z''': You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually ''{Pats his chest and puts his hands on his hips. Heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by a sound effect.}'' Damp Towel Man! ''{Raises hand to his mouth}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z''': Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left wearing a black mask and a towel tied on like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z''': Moist Molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind.

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left, with the towel on it.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains.

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner and starts humming. Homestar shuffles by from the right, muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by five o' clock?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z''': But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, ''{shakes his fist}'' Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. ''{Pronounced "rah-GAH-moo-fin"}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': That I do, my boy, that I do. Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, close up of muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth. Scene zooms in slowly.}''

'''COACH Z''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his kyorbicle.

''{Cut back to Coach Z in locker room.}''

'''COACH Z''': I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{Bottom scroll to the smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': So it was ''your'' DNA evidence!

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

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out. Scene zooms in rapidly.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, I was just swiping the change from...

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room, Strong Bad, wearing the "muddy" boots, has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling coins from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube pops out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in smoky office.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, I was ''{holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut to angry Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me. ''{Dangeresque music starts}'' The stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade to black. Fade in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls a box from underneath it. The box contains a picture frame, a red birthday card with a drawing of Strong Bad on it, a roll of film, a snow globe, and a corked test tube of green liquid. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut closer and angled}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut even closer}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo...

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha...

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Woo-ho-ho-ho...

''{Cut to wide angle view with Homsar standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ...Ah-ha-ha-ha Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record screech. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to close-up of Homsar}''

'''HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting ''way'' too tight. ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

*In the "Big Toons" section of the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], the description reads, "Strong Sad gets to the bottom of all this mess," while the description on the [[New Stuff]] menu omits the word "all."
*Near the end of the toon, Strong Sad pulls the DNA evidence test tube, along with a shoebox, out from under his bed. However, after he is done laughing evilly, our view widens so that we can see that he is still in the same room with Homsar where he began his presentation.

===Goofs===
*The smoke from the office only wafts in the first few shots before Strong Bad speaks his account of what happened at Bubs' Concession Stand.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this toon was first released, when Marzipan was walking up to Bubs' Concession Stand, she was not wearing her toga. This was fixed less than an hour after the toon was released.

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Mountain Dew]].
*Homestar's mispronunciation of DNA, and Coach Z's "mild mannered alter-ego" are references to [[Dan]].
**Furthermore, Coach Z's alter-ego's last name is an example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The box Strong Sad pulls the DNA Evidence out of in the last scene is from [[The Secrets That I Keep]].
*Strong Bad's glasses, the line "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", and the background music in the respective scenes are from the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] series of films.
*Marzipan's response to the cost of "an arm and a leg" and the way the arm of Homestar's coat moves as he takes a drink are references to their [[lack of visible arms]] and, in her case, legs.
*Homsar mentions [[pants]].
*This is yet another instance of both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad smiling]].
*Coach Z's janitor cart reads "JANITATOR", similar to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].
*The vacuum cleaner and Coach Z's line about cleaning up lasagna are references to [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].



===Real-World References===
*The entire structure of the toon, with a detective interviewing several people when he ultimately is the culprit, is a nod to [[wikipedia:Film noir|film noir]], a style of American film that peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

'''Damp Towel Man''' is a superhero played by [[Coach Z]]. His job is to collect damp towels from across the galaxy. His "mild-mannered alter ego" is named Dan Towelman. When Coach Z turns into Damp Towel Man, he dons a costume consisting of a mask and a cape, which is actually a towel. In the toon [[DNA Evidence]], he finds a green-stained damp towel on [[Strong Bad]]'s desk, which he takes to work the next day. When he returns to his janitor cart, he finds it has gone missing. He suspects the culprit was his nemesis, Dry Ragamuffin (who is apparently the superhero version of [[Bubs]]), or his mild-manned alter ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin. In reality, it was [[Strong Sad]].

It's a fully useful page; I see no reason why it needs to be deleted. I'll try to find more instances, if possible. A bit more bulk-up should make this page more useful. -[[User:CheetSpeek|CheetSpeek]] 21:27, 26 June 2006

I agree with Homestar Coder above: the joke is more about mistranslations in video games than [[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]] in general. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

== Page redo required, methinks ==

I believe this page is incomplete. Just about all of the [[Videlectrix]] games contain deliberate poor English and yet they are not listed. This page also uses short dashes instead of long dashes, which most of the "appearances" pages on this site have (such as [[Blatant Lies]]). [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 15:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

'''Poor English''' is often deliberately used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]].

==Appearances==

*Email [[english paper]] - Strong Bad spells English as "Englilsh" in the report's title, ridiculing the e-mail sender's spelling of the word.
*Email [[personal favorites]] - One of the sayings by the [[Grape Nuts Robot]] during the Easter egg at the end is "Now spell, 'Carp for brains'." It really meant to say, "Crap for brains."
*[[Population: Tire]] - The game's premise contains several instances of poor English, including "YOU ARE SOLDIER!" and "YOU ONE ARE OF BRAVE FEW."
*[[Cheat Commandos]] - Strong Bad's impression of Reynold includes the sentence, "I wish my girlfriend didn't leave me."
*Email [[caffeine]] - When the caffeine effects start to wear off, [[Strong Sad]] says, "...salad...salad...as a rock?"
*[[Thy Dungeonman]] - If you beat the game, the game gives you a "congraturation".
*Email [[dangeresque 3]] - Strong Bad is called on his "carphone" in the Dangeresque 1 director's cut and says: "You got Dangeresque. Who this is?".
*[[Videro Games]] - [[Strong Bad]] complains about difficult video games that only reward you with "a hearty CONGRATURATION!"
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] - This game has many instances of "[[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]", such as "My stummy hurts." (pluralized as "Our stummies hurts.") which also counts as a [[portmanteau]], "Keep try.", and "Start Play."
*[[Vector Strong Bad]] often uses poorly-translated lines like "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE!" He also pronounces "hello" as "HELLOTE" (seen in the email [[alternate universe]]).
*[[Sundae Drivin']] - As seen in the email [[redesign]], it includes quotes like "CHERRY GET!" and "YOUR JAMES OVER."
*Strong Bad's title at [[Crazy Go Nuts University]] is "Prinicpal".
*Email [[trading cards]]- When Strong Bad is describing The Cheat's trading card game, the phrase flashing on the screen is "PLAY GET!"
*Email [[strong badathlon]] - While advertising [[Minor Foods|Temporarios]], Strong Bad says, "'Cause I'm don't get paid!"

=A Lack of Intelligible Speech=

A few [[characters]], as well as their respective counterparts in [[1936]] and [[20X6]], have an apparent '''lack of intelligible speech'''. However, the audience is usually able to understand the basics what these characters attempt to communicate, either through their actions and facial expressions, through other intelligible-speaking characters' reactions, or, rarely, through on-screen subtitles.

==Appearances==
*[[The Cheat]] speaks only in squeaks and animal-sounding grunts and yelps. In [[cheat talk]], after failing to get him to say something normal like "Douglas", it is suggested that the viewers have to learn how to speak "The Cheat". Subsequently, in an Easter egg of that same email, a short recording teaches a few phrases of the indecipherable language. The Cheat's [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, [[The Sneak]], communicates only by wiggling his nose, and his [[20X6]] counterpart, [[Cheatball]], has yet to say anything beyond his own name, which may be in parody of Pokémon.
*[[Pom Pom]] speaks through sounds resembling bubbles. Like The Cheat, every character shows a clear and definitive understanding of his speech. This is shown in situations such as his conversations over his cell phone. In [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], Strong Bad attempts to pose as Pom Pom by, among other things, mimicking his speech: "Hey, give me that! Uh, I mean — bubble, bubble-dee-bubble. Dubble Bubble." Pom Pom's old-timey counterpart, [[Fat Dudley]], speaks by singing a simple, jazzy "boh-boh-boh" tune. His 20X6 counterpart, [[Pan Pan]], speaks by making a bouncing noise.
*[[Sherlock]], the helicopter/cow from Strong Bad's [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]], speaks only through indistinct mumbling. No other character has shown or demonstrated the ability to understand what Sherlock has ever "said".
*Although [[Strong Mad]] can be understood most of the time, his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart [[Strong Man]] does not speak, although he does growl and roar when appropriate.
*[[The Poopsmith]] has been noted as having taken a [[Wikipedia:Vow of silence|vow of silence]], but is still able to communicate in some ways. An ironic example of this was when, in [[senior prom]] The Poopsmith was the lead vocalist of [[All the King's Men!]]. Since, unlike other characters, The Poopsmith makes almost no vocal sounds at all, he seems to communicate mainly in the form of gestures such as shrugs of the shoulders and thumbs-up; additionally, he has communicated by holding up a written sign. In [[different town]], Strong Bad claimed that one thing he would change about his town is that "the Poopsmith ... could talk".

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' My email song! Where would I be without my email song? ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Handling Smelly Underling?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I am a manager and I have been told I must talk to one 
of my underlings about their stench. As the foremost 
expert in dealing with smelly underlings, I ask you, what is 
the best way to go about this? I wish to do this with 
some tact & professionalism. 
Sincerely, 
PlasticDiverGuy 
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces each word in the greeting separately, with short deliberate pauses between them. He pronounces "Dartmouth" as two separate words, and "Scotia" phonetically as SKO-tee-uh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, that show Nova is boring, but I'd watch a show called Dartmouth anyday. ''{clears screen}'' Now lemme tell ya PastyDeadGuy, you came to the right man. I've got so many underlings, I've had to deal with every nearly every awkward social situation under the awkward social sun. I'm an expoit! ''{clears screen}'' Firstly, nothing says tact and professionalism like sending a subtle hint with a hilarious novelty t-shirt. So in your situation, you could just start wearing a shirt that has like,

''{Cut to a blank T-shirt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —some kinda—

''{A scientist holding a test tube appears on the shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —science person on it, with a clothespin—

''{A clothespin appears on the scientist's nose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —on his nose, and underneath it says: "You Reek-A!"

''{"You Reek-A!" appears on the shirt. Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That way, your smelly underling, or smunderling, can get the message from across the room, and you can safely stay out of stink's reach.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper titled "Da News Papes". He looks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I think I'd probably watch a TV show called "Stink's Reach", too.

''{He looks back down. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Secondly, nothing says tact and professionalism like slowly revealing a sensitive topic to a friend or loved one—

''{Cut to Strong Sad, drawing on a piece of paper with a pencil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —with a clever connect-the-dots puzzle.

''{Cut to a closeup of the paper. It's an alligator wearing sunglasses, holding a sign that reads "WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO FLUSH TWICE!". The connect-the-dots portion is only the rectangular outline of the sign. Strong Sad stops drawing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What is he trying to say to me with this cryptic message? ''{taps the pencil twice on "cryptic"}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Furthermore, nothing says pact and trofesssionalism like breaking tough news to someone with a reverse sunburn—

''{Cut to the pool, slowly zooming in. A sunburned Strong Mad faces away from the pool, which Coach Z is in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —on your brother's giant, square, billboard-sized back!

''{Strong Mad removes his singlet. His back has "your tiny bathing suit demeans us ALL!" on it. Cut to a closeup.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{slowly}'' Your tiny bathing suit demeans us all.

''{Cut to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aw, fine then! I'll take it orf!

''{He reaches underwater and pulls out a very small pink g-string. The water turns black around him, accompanied by an odd humming noise. Cut back to behind Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' PUT IT BACK ON! PUT IT BACK ON!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Lastly, nothing says tact and professionalism like a hidden message written in condiments.

''{Cut to a picnic. Homestar Runner is sitting at the table. Strong Bad is wearing an oven mitt and holding a plate with a hot dog with his right hand, and holding a bottle of ketchup in his left. Some ketchup has spilled on the ground. More hot dogs can be seen on a grill behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here ya go, chumpion!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the hot dog}'' Ooh! Thanks, grillmasta!

''{Cut to the picnic table as Homestar puts the hot dog down. It has "you've had that piece" written on it in ketchup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've had that piece—

''{The camera pans to another hot dog, with "of cilantro" written on in mustard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —of cilantro—

''{The camera pans to a hamburger without its upper bun. "stuck between your teeth" is written in ketchup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —stuck between your teeth—

''{The camera pans yet again to a waffle with "since we ate at that mexican restaurant" with an arrow written in syrup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —since we ate at that Mexican restaurant—

''{The camera pans again to three pieces of sushi with "2" "wks" and "ago" written on them in wasabi.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —two weeks ago.

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar, who has a small piece of cilantro stuck in his mouth}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two weeks?!... ''TEETH?!''

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, in a slightly high-pitched voice and in a forced manner}'' In conclusion, these are just some of the many things that nothing says tact and professionalism like. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. If elected class president, I can't promise you Coke in the water fountains, but I ''can'' promise a hard-worker that will make a difference. And try to get Mrs. Hardmaster fired.

''{He types "for child abuse." and quickly clears the screen, while shaking his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, speaking normally}'' Whoa! It's like I regressed back to the fifth grade there. And the golden days of the five-paragraph essay. Well, good luck with your smunderling, PranceyDirtGirl. I gotta get started making those 'You Reek-A' t-shirts. Those things are gonna be awesome!

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

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*The [[wikipedia:Essay#The_five-paragraph_essay|five paragraph essay]] is comprised of an intro paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Essays of this type are often considered unacceptably short and simple after [[wikipedia:Middle school|middle school]].
*[[Wikipedia:Connect the dots|Connect the dots]] is a paper puzzle containing a sequence of numbered dots that, when connected, form a picture.

===Trivia===
*The newspaper reads:
{| style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #999"
| style="border-right: 3px solid #999; font-size: 2em; text-align: center; line-height: 1em; padding: 5px; font-family:Times New Roman,serif" | Back Pape

* This email is the first email since [[looking old]] not to mention [[DNA evidence]].

===Remarks===
*Homestar seems to be surprised at the prospect of having teeth, despite him being shown with teeth in [[theme song]].
*Although Strong Bad appeared to dislike long emails in [[long pants]], this email contains 59 words, 3 words longer than the said email.
*In the easter egg, the left post of the "Stink's Reach" sign is in the middle of the road.
*The scientist on the "You Reek-A!" t-shirt has eyes that are used from Strong Sad's right eye.

===Fixed Glitches===
*When the email was first released, at the end, the "I" at the beginning of "I gotta get started..." was clickable, but did not do anything. This was fixed a few hours after the email was released.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad read [[Periodicals|Da NewsPapes]] while in the bathroom in [[candy product]].
*Strong Bad is holding a [[Quite Fancy 'Chup]] bottle (the label is obscured by his glove).
*Strong Bad refers to the emailer as "[[Prancing|Prancey]]".
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling|couch mumbling]].
*The smunderling's intelligence being "low to middlin" likely refers to [[Thy Dungeonman II]], in which the player would be asked if he or she wished to strike an enemy high, low, or middlin according to its name ([[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|'''h'''ongrel, '''l'''ongrel, or '''m'''ongrel]]).
*The smunderling's fact sheet in general is very similar to [[Jhonka]]'s from [[impression]].
*This is another appearance of [[oven mitts]].
*"Smunderling" and "chumpion" are both [[Portmanteaus]].

Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe

Jimmy91 — Thu, 03 May 2007 18:37:36 GMT

Jimmy91: /* Appearances of Inconsistencies */

With such an expansive bank of cartoons, it would be near impossible for [[The Brothers Chaps]] to keep the [[Homestar Runner universe]] completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size, various '''inconsistencies''' occur throughout the website and the DVDs. These are usually very minor.
==Appearances of Inconsistencies==
*[[Strong Mad]] — [[Strong Mad#Physical Statistics|His height]] is under constant scrutiny.
*[[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|Strong Bad's computers]] — Their capabilities tend to vary. [[Matt Chapman]] even points this out in the [[homestar hair#DVD Version|DVD commentary]] for [[homestar hair]].
**Email [[retirement]] — [[Strong Bad]] states that the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] has a "5 meg hard-drive", although in [[animal]] it claimed to have only a 2 meg hard drive.
*Email [[flashback]] — To celebrate the 100th [[Strong Bad Email]], the screen of the [[Compy 386]] displays "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails!", even though there were some episodes, such as [[2 emails]], where he answered [[Strong Bad checking more than one email|more than one]].
*Email [[flashback]] — Strong Bad claims he lost count around email 51, but he began [[caffeine]] with "Coming in at number 91, it's, E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!"
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — The scene behind the fence is missing the [[Bear Holding a Shark]] that scared The Cheat in [[date]].
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]] — Strong Sad writes that he can't jump, yet he manages to jump in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] and later in [[Experimental Film]] and [[boring (really)]].
*[[Halloween Fairstival]] — Strong Bad states that he doesn't know or care what a haiku is, but he recited one in [[japanese cartoon]].
*Email [[dreamail]] — Strong Bad imagines the Lappy as [[Female Lappy 486|female]], but in [[animal]] he claimed it was [[The Paper|The Paper's]] "new brother."
*[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] — The ceiling of [[Strong Bad's Basement]] is not as high as it was in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]].
*Email [[geddup noise]] — Strong Bad corrects an email that refers to [[The Geddup Noise]] as "the get up noise," as if he is unfamiliar with that name, but he had called Chairscoot by that name in [[the bet]].
*Email [[senior prom]] — After Strong Bad's pants are poofed away, he wears boxer shorts, but in [[New Boots]], he reminds The Cheat that he doesn't wear underwear.
*Email [[cliffhangers]] — Coach Z attempts to reveal the [[Thnikkaman]]'s "secret sorcret identity" by removing his [[Cool Shades|cool shades]], but in [[monument]], Bubs (as the Thnikkaman) takes off his shades without his identity being compromised.
*Email [[retirement]] — the hole in the screen of the Compy 386 is smaller than it was when [[Bubs]] shotgunned it in the end of [[virus]].
*[[Happy Hallow-Day]] — Since Halloween night is missing, the [[Spooky Woods]] are in a less spooky state, but even though it wasn't Halloween in [[Where's the Cheat?]], the woods were still spooky.
*Email [[what I want]] — Strong Sad asks Strong Bad if he "put wildebeest pheromones in my laundry again?", but in [[Strong Sad's Lament]] he says "I kinda don't wear clothes".

*Email [[rough copy]] — Strong Sad writes a note to himself to get a bigger notebook, and couldn't manage to write the word "notebook" on one page. However, in [[record book]] he transcribed "Paradise Lost" onto a single grain of rice.

Puking

Jimmy91 — Tue, 01 May 2007 17:07:12 GMT

Jimmy91: /* Appearances */

[[Image:Style1.PNG||thumbnail|"I don't know whether to puke or have a seizure..."]]

On several occasions, a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] character '''[[Wikipedia:Vomiting|pukes]]''' or mentions puking.

==Appearances==
*[[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] — Homestar pukes [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|marshmallows]] and a bomb onto Strong Bad.

{{talk|11290}}
== What about a SECRET Hot Date ==

Is there a connection between the "secret hot date" Cardboard Marzipan invited the Cheat on and the "hot date" they actually went on? Is the fact that there are fireworks in both of the cartoons relevant? {{unsigned|75.85.125.208|22:58, 23 April 2007}}
:Might even mention the end of [[do over]] in relation to this too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, there's definitely been a pattern here. also note the "who's making out with marzipan" line from the cheat's theme song. that was probably the first lead in, or whatever --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]
Also peculiar that Marzipan doesn't seem to mind The Cheat's small talk about two Ira's, after being annoyed by Homestar's two Sid's in [[date]]. [[User:61.149.38.114|61.149.38.114]] 13:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Well, Homestar was playing a stupid, boring game that she had no hope of winning. The Cheat was actually holding a conversation. -[[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::The "Making out with Marzipan" thing was a reference to the [[Homestar Talker]] game. The original wining phrase was "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome." {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

== Irony ==

Is it worth mentioning that Strong Bad proposes that they drown the Cheat and Marzipan, but in the end it is Homestar and Strong Bad who are drowned? {{unsigned|75.85.125.208|22:58, 23 April 2007}}

:That's along the lines of explaining the joke, something not normally done around here unless it's rather obscure. Also, please sign your talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>){{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, I thought the same thing. Weird when you see radio people on TV. It's always like "I don't know what I would have expected him to look like, but it just ain't that." {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 08:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== 8-Bit resemblence ==

i'm not suggesting anybody uses this, but does any one else notice any echoes of Black Mage from 8-bit theater in Strong Bad when he's discussing the drowning of Marzipan and the Cheat? especially the "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date" line. it's funny, but that's just me.
--[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]
:Strong Bad always sounds like that. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]]

Heh, that is totally something BM would say. [[User:The makuta|The makuta]] 13:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a combonation of BM and Bob from Bob and George. But mostly BM. [[User:The Magic Pixel|The Magic Pixel]] 15:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

== Mario ==

I obviously thought of Mario when Strong Bad said "Itsa me, the chef-a", but I don't know if it's really that clear. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 09:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Mario has a bad Italian accent too, yes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:One of Mario's catchphrases is "It's-a me! Mario!" I thought of Mario as well. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Stereotypical Italian, probably. I thought it was Mario as well, but an Italian seems more practical. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 10:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Shockingly, Mario ''is'' Italian. and we know TBC are nintendo guys, i'd expect them to have had mario in the front of their minds as a role model for a fake-italian accent --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]]
::::I immediately thought of Mario. It brought me back to my N64 days. The startup screen..."Itsa me! Mario! *doo doo doo doo doo doo* Hello!" --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 22:03, 24 Apr 2007 (UTC)
:::::Methinks it's a stereotypical Italian chef. Not Mario. It's POSSIBLE, but I doubt it. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 02:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::Not possible. It's stereotyped Italian, just as Mario is. If it's like Mario, it's stereotypical Italian, and is no ref to Mario. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:15, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Mario is not the only Italian in the world. He's not even the only Italian stereotype. Have you forgotten [[Wikipedia:List_of_recurring_characters_from_The_Simpsons#Luigi_Risotto|Luigi]]? The one on the Simpsons, not Mario's brother! --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 03:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::::My opinion: I think a reference to Mario. My username may play a part in this, though. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::I didn't think of Mario at all when I first watched this, and my initial reaction to the idea was that it is only a play on the stereotype. But I did a few [http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=%22it%27sa+me%22&btnG=Google+Search google] [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22it%27s-a-me%22&btnG=Search searches] and an overwhelming majority of the results pertain to Mario, often the N64 incarnation of the game. I'm still hesitant, but now I'm not as sure.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 16:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The reason I thought of Mario was because of the "Itsa me ***" format. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 04:10, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Speaking as an IP address, I probably don't have much clout, but I'd definitely say Mario reference. Stereotypical italians don't say "Itsa Me!" Only Mario does. [[User:129.64.141.43|129.64.141.43]] 16:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC) (oh, and this image code thing is disgusting, I normally can get these things no problem, but this is just like paint splatters)

:(129.64.141.43, I replied [[User talk:129.64.141.43|here]]) This one's a tough call, but I'm leaning toward it being a reference to Mario here. The discussion is so evenly split, I think that [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] would be helpful here — I'll get one started. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

::Okay, [[STUFF:Date Nite#Thank you, chef! But our reference is in another castle.|here it is]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I also thought of Mario right away, but that doesn't mean that that's what TBC were thinking of when they wrote the cartoon. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 01:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

== Another Reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman ==

The curlers on Coach Z's head and the rolling pin he's holding seems to be another reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman, the other being when he said he was a mom in an easter egg at the end of Sbemail #129 Garage Sale.
:I think it's unwise to assume that Coach is conscientiously pretending to be a woman. Can't TBC just stick him in the cartoon to make a final punchline with no strings attached? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::Right now the page suggests that Coach Z is a "mom" in this cartoon. He is clearly displaying characteristics of a woman (certain attitude, curlers, rolling pin), but there is no indication that he is acting like a "mom" (a particular kind of woman). [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 17:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I think he's acting like a wife. I mean, that's just such a classic image in television and movies. I don't know if he's doing it on purpose or if he just has a complex, though. Personally, I was thinking OTP. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::::I think he's being portrayed as a mother. Mabye he's actually a girl. We have no way of knowing if he is or not. He may actually be Bubs' mother. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 19:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

::::Believe it or not, there are some men who wear curlers (I'm involved in the dance world :P). Though I agree it's more than likely a joke that he's playing a mom. Nothin' serious. Coach Z has always been weird. [[User:Coveredinharmony|CoveredinSuudzu]] 15:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

:Just as a note, this isn't the first time that a rolling pin has been used as a prop for a stereotypical housewife (see right). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

== Going down with the ship ==

Is the fact that Homestar and Strong Bad are singing the national anthem as their 'ship' goes down a reference to anything? It seems familiar to me, but I don't know where from... {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 11:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:I thought of [[Wikipedia:RMS Titanic|Titanic]] when I first saw it. The orchestra on the ship continued playing as the ship was sinking. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 11:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::I thought of that Looney Toons with Nero and Yosemite Sam as a Roman centurion and the pillar slowly falling while Nero plays Taps on a violin. Maybe something like that inspired them. [[User:Elvis|Uhuh huh. Thankyaveramuch.]] 12:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I think Elvis got it. This "going down with the ship" thing seems very cartoony. Looney Toony. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:Okay bear with me a second. I've never actually seen the Hunt for Red October, so I'm getting this from my mom. In order to hijack the Red October and go to America, they took it out on the maiden voyage. The part of the crew that was in on the plot arranged a fake nuclear explosion and forced the rest of the crew off the sub. That part of the crew was standing on an American ship when the fake explosion occurred, and they sang the Russian national anthem while the Red October "sank". I think that's the reference the Brothers Chaps were going for. -[[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::Could be that too. You never know for sure what they are thinking. I say we shouldn't try to pinpoint this as a solid reference to anything in particular. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Except they don't sing the anthem as the ship goes down. The Russians stand on the deck of the rescuing American ship, silent and mournfully removing their caps, staring at the sea. They sing it much earlier in the film, when they first engage the [[Wikipedia:Magnetohydrodynamic drive|caterpillar drive]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
::::It's actually another sub that explodes. The Russian Anthem does play at the end of the movie IIRC. It's close, but I wouldn't call it a reference.{{User:NFITC1/sig}} 13:56, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::They didn't know it was another sub, of course. At the end, it's not the Russian anthem, but a reprise of the main theme of the movie. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
:I fail to see how this is cartoony. It's a common motif, not a reference to anything in particular.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
:It could be a reference to most cartoons, which sing/plays [[Wikipedia:Taps|Taps]] as their ship sinks. - {{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}
Mind, I don't think it should be in the article, but for the record, I thought the same thing. "Hm, Red October reference, singing a national anthem..." —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Who put the whole Titanic thing in there? I see no similarity. I believe it's already mentioned in the article that sailors often sing their national anthem as they go down with their ship, the Titanic wasn't a military vessel, there are no panicking passengers for Homestar and Strong Bad to soothe with their music (as the musicians on the Titanic were trying to do by continuing to play), and neither of them is using an instrument, nor were the musicians on the Titanic singing. Barely any similarity. I think this needs to be removed. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 04:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:Just for the record, I agree (and I see that it's now been {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Date_Nite&curid=34045&diff=450885&oldid=450878 removed}}). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

== Rockets ==

In the inside references section it mentions the part in SBIIJC where the bang was all that was needed. Wouldn't the fathoom be necessary in this case, considering without it Homestar and Strong Bad would just blow up? [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 12:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I noticed the same thing. From what I can tell, they want the fathoom so that they fire towards Marzipan and The Cheat. I'm changing it. [[User:The makuta|The makuta]] 13:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Fundraising weeks ==

How many local NPR stations are having their drives this week? I know it is in Jacksonville, FL.
:Why are you asking this? What relativity does it have to Homestar Runner? Why didn't you sign your post? --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 20:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Squared Circle ==
The Squared Circle is a term used in Professional Wrestling, because unlike the actual sport, where they wrestle within a circle, the entertainment version takes place in a square ring, hence, square instead of circle.

:This is probably the most salient example, but I think it would be difficult to hold that it is the first time. There are snippets of character development here and there, if we allow that the entire world of www.homestarrunner.com is one holistic narrative. For example, we know that the relationship between Strong Sad and Strong Bad wasn't always as it is now ([[The Secrets That I Keep]]). We also see a desperate attempt by the KOT to become a cool character (seeking help from Marzipan on her answering machine and creating KOTVOQPCS, which by it's name implies that the KOT is "popular"). Numerous characters have had epiphanies of self-awareness (SS "I'm a waste of space", CZ "I've hit rack bartom!"). And throughout the entire narrative we see fluctuating relational dynamics between all of the characters; their attitudes and behavior towards one another does not remain static (at times SB hates HR, and at other times they are found playing Cheat Commandos or drinking 'old ones together). Because HR.com is episodic in nature it is difficult to see much character development in any given instance, but as a broader story arc it should be easier to see development.

== BIAS ==

I think the current interpretation of the phrase "normal bias" found on the tape in the easter egg might be the wrong one.
Public radio is commonly perceived as having a left leaning ''political bias''. The addition of the word "normal" might refer to the perception that this political bias is normal for public radio.
Further, "Normal bias" is in the label location, where the person who records something onto the tape indicates what the recording is or is about (such as "David Bowie" or "2007 mix tape"). If "normal bias" was actually referring to the technical design of the tape we might expect to find it stamped on the tape in a different location and in a different manner. We don't find other technical aspects of a tape or CD-R (such as "120 minutes" or "700 Mb") in the label area of the item. Any thoughts? [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 01:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:I'm a little confused... just answering the last question you asked there, it's a cartoon, and TBC don't have time to draw in every little detail, especially on a tape or CD. Or Laserdisc. The "Normal Bias" label is there for satirical humor. I mean, what's funnier, "Normal Bias" or "TapeMakers 90 minutes"? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::I just looked at what is posted about "normal bias" and I can see why you are confused. Let me clarify my previous post. If you follow the link on the word "bias" it will take you to a wikipedia article about tape bias, a technical development in sound reproduction for cassette tapes. By linking to this article, it is suggested that the use of the term "normal bias" in the cartoon refers to Tape Bias. My previous post was meant to argue that Tape Bias is the wrong way to interpret "normal bias" and that there is a better, more likely interpretation. My error was in thinking that the current interpretation is more obvious than it really is, thus I am at fault for your confusion. With this clarification in mind, I hope that my previous post is more clear to you. I propose that what is currently posted about "normal bias" be removed from the Trivia section and in it's place we use my interpretation to explain "normal bias" in the Real World References section.

:::::Incidentally, I'm the one who originally added the link to [[Wikipedia:Tape bias|tape bias]], which I put there for readers who might not know there was a double meaning to the word.

== Marzipan eats Marshmallows?! ==

A primary ingredient in Marshmallows is gelatin, which made from boiled animal bones. I don't think Marzipan would like this very much (since she is a vegetarian). Thoughts?

::Well, it's mentioned without citation a couple times on this wiki... but the only thing close to an official statement that I see comes from [[All_Things_Considered_Interview_-_8_May_2005|a 2005 interview on NPR]], in which the interviewer refers to Marzipan as "Homestar's Vegetarian girlfriend" and his statement is not refuted by TBC.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::It's pretty safe to assume that Marzipan is a vegetarian or vegan of some kind. Her mascara, for instance. The tofu BBQ, for another. [[Homestar Jr.]], for a third.

I would suggest that based on the evidence we have it is harder to prove that she ''isn't'' a vegetarian than that she ''is''. [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 03:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:::However - Vegan Mascara might be a brand name. I like tofu almost as much as I like a steak. And reporters do get facts wrong sometimes, even NPR. I think it's just speculation to decide she's a vegan/strict vegetarian/weak vegetarian without explicit establishment.

::::All you need to prove that she isn't a vegetarian is an instance where she clearly violates general vegetarian protocol (marshmallows, we should agree, is a gray area). In the logic tradition and in real world common sense 'no instance of violating vegetarian protocol' + 'numerous instances of demonstrating vegetarian behavior' = 'the fair assumption that Marzipan is a vegetarian.' Put simply, I think your standard of proof is unnecessarily high. My standard is the one practiced in the disciplines of Philosophy, History, English, and Behavioral Psychology, to name a few, and ought to be sufficient for a silly cartoon web site. Your challenge does not need to be answered because a reasonable and sufficient argument has already been offered (not "just speculation"), not only by myself, but by Bryanc as well.

::::::I think what Lynx is trying to argue is that there is quite a lot of evidence.

I won't continue to rehash this topic with you, but I do want to say for the sake of others reading this that there ''is'' evidence that she is a vegetarian, the assumption is a reasonable one, not a speculative one, according to classical epistemology.

:Okay bear with me a second. I've never actually seen the Hunt for Red October, so I'm getting this from my mom. In order to hijack the Red October and go to America, they took it out on the maiden voyage. The part of the crew that was in on the plot arranged a fake nuclear explosion and forced the rest of the crew off the sub. That part of the crew was standing on an American ship when the fake explosion occurred, and they sang the Russian national anthem while the Red October "sank".

Who put the whole Titanic thing in there? I see no similarity. I believe it's already mentioned in the article that sailors often sing their national anthem as they go down with their ship, the Titanic wasn't a military vessel, there are no panicking passengers for Homestar and Strong Bad to soothe with their music (as the musicians on the Titanic were trying to do by continuing to play), and neither of them is using an instrument, nor were the musicians on the Titanic singing.

== Four, then? ==

Who is Marzipan referring to when remarks that Homestar has had to fight off four foxes' mothers to stay loyal to her? The first thing that popped in my head was TGS, but that doesn't really make sense. Could it be the failed female characters they're referring to? Champeen and them? [[User:Coveredinharmony|CoveredinSuudzu]] 15:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

::('''edit conflict''')She's not referring to anyone in particular. Homestar says "more than I can count," so she's making fun of him by saying he can't even count to 4. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

== Character Development ==

Woah. This is the first time I've seen real character development, done by characters, with actual development, since, like...ever. Does anyone else notice that? And feel unnverved? [[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 15:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
:This is probably the most salient example, but I think it would be difficult to hold that it is the first time. There are snippets of character development here and there, if we allow that the entire world of www.homestarrunner.com is one holistic narrative. For example, we know that the relationship between Strong Sad and Strong Bad wasn't always as it is now ([[The Secrets That I Keep]]). We also see a desperate attempt by the KOT to become a cool character (seeking help from Marzipan on her answering machine and creating KOTVOQPCS, which by it's name implies that the KOT is "popular"). Numerous characters have had epiphanies of self-awareness (SS "I'm a waste of space", CZ "I've hit rack bartom!"). And throughout the entire narrative we see fluctuating relational dynamics between all of the characters; their attitudes and behavior towards one another does not remain static (at times SB hates HR, and at other times they are found playing Cheat Commandos or drinking 'old ones together). Because HR.com is episodic in nature it is difficult to see much character development in any given instance, but as a broader story arc it should be easier to see development.

== BIAS ==

I think the current interpretation of the phrase "normal bias" found on the tape in the easter egg might be the wrong one.
Public radio is commonly perceived as having a left leaning ''political bias''. The addition of the word "normal" might refer to the perception that this political bias is normal for public radio.
Further, "Normal bias" is in the label location, where the person who records something onto the tape indicates what the recording is or is about (such as "David Bowie" or "2007 mix tape"). If "normal bias" was actually referring to the technical design of the tape we might expect to find it stamped on the tape in a different location and in a different manner. We don't find other technical aspects of a tape or CD-R (such as "120 minutes" or "700 Mb") in the label area of the item. Any thoughts? [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 01:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:I'm a little confused... just answering the last question you asked there, it's a cartoon, and TBC don't have time to draw in every little detail, especially on a tape or CD. Or Laserdisc. The "Normal Bias" label is there for satirical humor. I mean, what's funnier, "Normal Bias" or "TapeMakers 90 minutes"? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::I just looked at what is posted about "normal bias" and I can see why you are confused. Let me clarify my previous post. If you follow the link on the word "bias" it will take you to a wikipedia article about tape bias, a technical development in sound reproduction for cassette tapes. By linking to this article, it is suggested that the use of the term "normal bias" in the cartoon refers to Tape Bias. My previous post was meant to argue that Tape Bias is the wrong way to interpret "normal bias" and that there is a better, more likely interpretation. My error was in thinking that the current interpretation is more obvious than it really is, thus I am at fault for your confusion. With this clarification in mind, I hope that my previous post is more clear to you. I propose that what is currently posted about "normal bias" be removed from the Trivia section and in it's place we use my interpretation to explain "normal bias" in the Real World References section. [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 02:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:::I think it's referring to tape bias — see [[geddup noise]] and [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-08-31]] for other places that this comes up in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::::Good point. I am still puzzled why tech specs would be found in the user label portion of the tape, but the fact that the geddup noise radio station is a ribald morning show and ''not'' public radio demands the conclusion you have reached. [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 02:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::I think they simply didn't put as much thought as you into what they put on the tape to make it look like a tape. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
::::Also, bias is something that is applied to the tape when it is recorded, it's not inherent to the specific tape itself (though, different bias is better for different kinds of tape). When I used to work with tapes extensively I would always note on the label what bias I used to record the tape (in fact, there was typically a checkbox devoted to it on the user label).{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::Incidentally, I'm the one who originally added the link to [[Wikipedia:Tape bias|tape bias]], which I put there for readers who might not know there was a double meaning to the word. But I've always thought that the pun was intended. That is, I think they used the technical term as a play on the political sense of the words. I figured linking to anything besides tape bias would be unnecessarily explaining the joke. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

== Marzipan eats Marshmallows?! ==

A primary ingredient in Marshmallows is gelatin, which made from boiled animal bones. I don't think Marzipan would like this very much (since she is a vegetarian). Thoughts? I modified the article to show this, but it was reverted and claimed to be "nit-picking." Hardly. [[User:70.58.71.12|70.58.71.12]] 02:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
:Is Marzipan a vegetarian? Can you cite where it's disclosed? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
::Well, it's mentioned without citation a couple times on this wiki... but the only thing close to an official statement that I see comes from [[All_Things_Considered_Interview_-_8_May_2005|a 2005 interview on NPR]], in which the interviewer refers to Marzipan as "Homestar's Vegetarian girlfriend" and his statement is not refuted by TBC.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::It's pretty safe to assume that Marzipan is a vegetarian or vegan of some kind. Her mascara, for instance. The tofu BBQ, for another. [[Homestar Jr.]], for a third. You may not have a verbal confession from her, but all signs point to that assumption. I would suggest that based on the evidence we have it is harder to prove that she ''isn't'' a vegetarian than that she ''is''. [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 03:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:::However - Vegan Mascara might be a brand name. I like tofu almost as much as I like a steak. And reporters do get facts wrong sometimes, even NPR. I think it's just speculation to decide she's a vegan/strict vegetarian/weak vegetarian without explicit establishment. If the fact is included, it needs to be worded so as not to say she "is" a vegetarian, but that she might be; and also without weaseling the fact to the point of it no longer being notable. A challenge. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:37, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
::::All you need to prove that she isn't a vegetarian is an instance where she clearly violates general vegetarian protocol (marshmallows, we should agree, is a gray area). In the logic tradition and in real world common sense 'no instance of violating vegetarian protocol' + 'numerous instances of demonstrating vegetarian behavior' = 'the fair assumption that Marzipan is a vegetarian.' Put simply, I think your standard of proof is unnecessarily high. My standard is the one practiced in the disciplines of Philosophy, History, English, and Behavioral Psychology, to name a few, and ought to be sufficient for a silly cartoon web site. Your challenge does not need to be answered because a reasonable and sufficient argument has already been offered (not "just speculation"), not only by myself, but by Bryanc as well. Again, a contrary example is all you need to prove our contention false. [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 04:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::::::Speaking of stupid, ignorant, or misinformed, how about those vegetarians? {snicker}.

[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 07:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::Lynx, I don't need to prove she's not anything. The natural presumption is that people are like most other people unless there is evidence to the contrary. I maintain that calling her a vegetarian is speculative unless there is firm evidence. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::I think what Lynx is trying to argue is that there is quite a lot of evidence. Each piece of evidence alone may be interpreted as circumstantial, but the summation of it all lends great credence to the probability that Marzipan is indeed a vegetarian. You are absolutely correct that there is no definitive proof. She sure eats like one though.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 04:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::::::Qermaq, I didn't say you needed to prove anything- you have it backwards. I said that if you want to end all doubt and vindicate your position there is a simple way. I didn't say "you need to ''prove''", I said "what you ''need'' to prove." There's a real difference there. I won't continue to rehash this topic with you, but I do want to say for the sake of others reading this that there ''is'' evidence that she is a vegetarian, the assumption is a reasonable one, not a speculative one, according to classical epistemology. Instead of yielding to better reasoning, my friend Qermaq seems to be ignoring the firm evidence provided and misinterpreting what I have said. I would that he follow my example from above (the BIAS discussion) and simply admit when he is beat. I will say no more. [[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 06:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

::::On the [[Chinese Food Toons Menu]] TBC imply ''very'' strongly that Marzipan is a vegetarian in the subtext to [[The Reddest Radish]].

::::Incidentally, the word vegan was [http://www.vegansociety.com/html/business/trademark/opportunities/standards.php coined] by The Vegan Society in the UK which still retains related trademarks.

:::It ''is'' possible to make vegetarian/vegan marshmallows without using gelatin.

: 1 - The [[Marzipan]] article clearly states that she is a vegetarian.
: 2 - Although the specific type of vegetarianism that Marzipan follows is not known, eating gelatin is against *all* of them. The [[Wikipedia:Vegetarian|wikipedia article]] has a good discussion of the various types. You will note that all of them decry the eating of meat (remains of dead animals.)

== How Was Your Coincidence? ==

It's probably not a direct reference, but I can't help but notice one of Marzipan's lines ("My almond-encrusted Chilean sea marshmallow was just delicious.

*In [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/Subcomics/UVoyage/index.php?num=1 Comic #2] there are sprites of Strong Bad and Trogdor as a team called "Burninators!"
*In [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/Subcomics/UVoyage/index.php?num=188 Comic#563], Homestar makes a rather ''shocking'' sprite cameo.

== Vanguard ==
*In [http://reno.stage-select.com/Vanguard/067.png comic 67], NORM the computer wakes up, mimicking the [[Couch Mumbling]] gag.

== VG Cats ==
*The "[http://www.vgcats.com/first/ New to the site]" page starts "Welcome aboard the USS VGCats.com, this is a website!", both mimicking and linking to [[First Time Here?]]
*In [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/extras/100.php Comic 100], click on "100 Comics" at the end to see Pantsman answer an email on the [[Compy 386]]. Strong Bad later appears and repeats a line from [[sibbie]] in this clip.

*The title for the news post on Saturday, September 10, 2005 at 12:43 PM is "Throw baby", a [[Peasant's Quest]] reference.

== Witchs' Brew ==
The origin of the Witch's Brew name came from Homestar's famous Halloween [[Witches' Brew|witch's brew]] line. (Alas, however, the phrase is not spelled correctly in the comic.) Also, in the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew01.html first] comic, Homestar appears on the last panel, and the [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew03.html third] comic uses the CHILDREN! panel from [[Teen Girl Squad]]. The [http://homepage.mac.com/witchsbrew/brews1-10/brew06.html sixth] comic tells us to not fake the funk on a nasty dunk, one of [[Homsar]]'s quotes from [[interview]]. And the author bios describe one of the creators as "one of the few lucky non-peasant humans to be burninated."

== The Wotch: CHEER! ==
*In the [http://cheer.thewotch.com/index.php?date=20060314 March 14th comic], Lita makes a Pig Latin comment reminiscent of Strong Bad's at the end of [[rock opera]], right down to the reversal of what was meant and what was said.
*In a [http://cheer.thewotch.com/index.php?date=20070303 later comic], "Principal O'Brian"/32 excuses herself to go "[[Place]]", similarly to Strong Bad at the end of [[different town]].
*In [http://cheer.thewotch.com/index.php?date=20070410 April 10th's comic], "Principal O'Brian"/32 claims to have [[DNA Evidence|tampered with the DNA evidence]], using the same wording Strong Bad used in [[unnatural]].

*In [http://zeldacomic.net/archives/zc/?pic=193.png Comic 193], the Miscreant decapitates Edgar with the caption "DECAPITAT'D!"

Hey there, Jimmy91. One small thing: according to [[HRWiki:Signature]], your signature has to include a link to your userpage in it. One possible way you could fix this while still keeping your sig's appearance pretty much the same is by changing it to

'''Page Title:''' Meet me on down at the Chez Perez!

==Transcript==
''{Scene in Marzipan's house, where Marzipan is applying mascara while looking in a hall mirror. She is already wearing lipstick. After a second, Homestar enters from the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa-ho, Marzipan! You look like a fox's mother!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Still looking in mirror}'' Homestar, if you're trying to say I'm a foxy mama, that's actually ''more'' offensive.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. You know what I mean. The more offensive one. So where are we goin' tonight? ''{leans over}'' The Chez Perez?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Still looking at the mirror}'' Uh, no. I have a hot date with The Cheat, thank you very much. I suspect ''you'll'' probably stay home and run in place or something.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well I ''was'' planning to—you WHAT?! ''{Eyes bug out}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement, where The Cheat is applying a fake mustache with Strong Bad looking on}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You WHAT?! ''{Starts quivering with rage}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't believe this, The Cheat!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar in Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't believe you're The Cheating on me! ''{Pull back to include Marzipan, still at the mirror}'' So what are you saying? That you—gulp—"want his bod"?

''{Cut back to a close up of Strong Bad in his basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can't even call that thing a bod! At best it's a broom or a—

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Trivial Pursuit cheese wedge!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Turning away from the mirror and brandishing mascara brush}'' Look, Homestar, it's just a date. This has always been an open relationship.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa-ho-ho-says you. I've turned down more foxes' mothers than I can count just to stay loyal to you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Dryly}'' So, four, then?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's rich. Ms. Smarty Pants, eh?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mr. Smarty Spots, huh? Well—

''{Scene starts switching between locations as Strong Bad and Homestar alternate words}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —why—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —don't—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —go a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —head—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and—

''{Cuts to Strong Bad and Homestar inexplicably together in Marzipan's house, yelling:}''

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —GET OUTTA MY FACE!

''{Both open their eyes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Looking around}'' Wait, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Simultaneously}'' What the crap...?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement where Marzipan and The Cheat are standing in front of the couch.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, the Cheat. Let's go.

''{The Cheat crooks his arm as if to allow Marzipan to loop her arm through it. Marzipan stands next to him and leans over as if taking his arm in hers, and the two exit together.}''

''{Cut to title screen, a pink square on a light blue background. The letters "Da" and "ni" appear on the left side of the square, one on top of the other, then a large "Te" appears on the right to form the words "DaTe" and "niTe".}''

''{Cut back to Marzipan's house, this time to the living room. Homestar and Strong Bad are drinking 'old Ones, Strong Bad sitting on the couch, Homestar lying on the floor with his feet on the couch. Strong Bad is shaking his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Man. Seriously, Strong Strong, we's ''gotta'' do something about ''this''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ordinarily, I just drown my sorrows in video games, but for ''this'', ''{Close up of Strong Bad}'' maybe I should drown them in... drowning ''them''! ''{Smiles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sitting up}'' Uh, maybe let's not kill anybody. We should just try and ruin their date.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mainly, I just want to keep 'em from making out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Dropping Cold One bottle, starts rubbing his arms}'' Ewww! The disgust! It won't wash off!

''{Scene transitions to Marshmallow's Last Stand, where The Cheat and Marzipan are sitting in a booth, holding menus. Both the menus and a sign near the door read "Marshmallow's L'est Stand".}''

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' Why, yes, The Cheat, I would be ''very'' comfortable with you saying something about my figure. Thank you for asking first.

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Puts down menu}'' Ew. Not ''that'' comfortable.

''{Homestar comes running up in his waiter uniform from Summer Short Shorts}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, good evening, ungodly couple. ''{The Cheat puts down his menu}'' My name is Waiter, I will be your Homestar for this evening. Can I start you two off with a glass of "Breaking Up", or perhaps "Never Seeing Each Other Again" with capers?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angry The Cheat noises, waving a fist}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, yes, The Cheat, I ''would'' be comfortable with you "cleaning my clock"! Thanks for asking first!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angrier The Cheat noises, more threatening gestures}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahhhh! ''{Takes off in a cloud of dust, after a few seconds, pops down from the top border}'' Can I settle up with you guys? My shift's over.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angry The Cheat noises, more threatening gestures, Homestar ducks offscreen}''

''{Cut to later, close up of Marzipan with a plate with crumbs and a small piece of marshmallow.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mmmmm, my almond-encrusted Chilean sea marshmallow was just delicious. ''{Cut out to include the Cheat sitting in front of an empty hot dog wrapper with ketchup and a couple of french fries around it.}'' How was your hot dog?

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

''{Strong Bad runs up, dressed up as an Italian chef}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Fake Italian accent}'' Oh-a, it's-a me! ''{Close up}'' The chef-a! A-which-a one o' you guys ordered the smack-in-the-face-a?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Annoyed}'' I thought this was a French restaurant.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Regular voice}'' Oh. Ummmmmmmmm, uh... Sn-snails?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, T.C., let's blow this marshmallow stand. ''{Marzipan and the Cheat get up and walk away offscreen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, y'know, I--I didn't really research this role.

''{As the screen blacks out, Strong Bad's fake mustache falls off}''

''{Fade in to Marzipan and The Cheat crossing The Stone Bridge in the moonlight}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Excited The Cheat noises, gesturing}''

''{They stop at the top of the bridge}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's so crazy! I've always wanted to see Ira Glass and Ira Flatow wrestle, too.

''{From out of the water comes a periscope, apparently made out of cardboard tubes and duct tape. Cut to the view of Marzipan and The Cheat from the periscope. A repetitive sonar-like "boo" sound is heard in the background}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This has been such a grand date, The Cheat. I don't know what could possibly ruin it.

''{Cut to inside of cardboard submarine. Strong Bad is looking away from the periscope with Homestar standing right behind, wearing a sailor hat and simulating sonar noises. Water is streaming down the walls and dripping from the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Verify our range to target! Flood tubes three and four! Hunt for Red October!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aye aye, sir! ...Boo!

''{Cut to surface. The "submarine" surfaces. It is a cardboard box with the words "USS FLIRTINI" on the side. Strong Bad and Homestar pop out, revealing fireworks duct-taped to the insides of the box flaps.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' FIRE!

''{Homestar and Strong Bad light a match and the BMW Lighter, respectively, and light the fireworks. View changes to include the bridge and its occupants. After a couple seconds, the fireworks simultaneously propel the submarine backwards offscreen and fly forwards.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' WAAAH!

''{The fireworks execute a loop in the air, and fly past Marzipan and The Cheat, startling them. Cut to a view of the sky where the fireworks go off in a grand display. Marzipan and The Cheat's silhouettes can be seen in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooooh, it's so romantic...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Sighs}''

''{Marzipan and The Cheat lean close to each other}''

''{Cut to view of the surface of a large body of water. Homestar and Strong Bad are leaning out the top of the "submarine" as the fireworks flash, singing as it sinks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' Come to the place where the tropical breezes blow... ''{Last words is garbled as he is submerged}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing along}'' Da da da da dada dadada dada daaaaaaah...

''{Cut to Marzipan's front hall, later. The sound of the front door opening and closing is heard, followed by Marzipan walking down the hall until she finds Homestar, running in place angrily. Homestar notices her, and stops mid-step.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sulkingly}'' Oh, if it isn't Marzipan. ''{Steps down}'' Oh, I'm sorry, or was it "The Marzipan", now?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you'll be happy to know it didn't work out between us. I found out the Cheat is declawed, and I just don't think I could be with someone that supports that kind of cruelty.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Delighted}'' And now you've come crawlin' back to the old fox's father!

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, I just came to change outfits for my next date with Bubs at the all-night waffle place!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You WHAT?! ''{Eyes bug out}''

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is straightening a black bow tie, while Coach Z is standing behind him wearing hair curlers and brandishing a rolling pin.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You WHORT?!

''{Cut to end screen, the pink box on light blue background, with the word "end" in the box. After a few seconds, "back" appears at the bottom.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"L'est" is a contraction of the French word for "the" and the French word for "is.". "L'est" also means "the east". "Chez" (which Homestar [[Foreign Words|mispronounces]]) means "At the home of" and is often used in names of French restaurants.
*Marzipan's statement, "Come on, T.C., let's blow this marshmallow stand." is a reference to the idiom [[wiktionary: blow_this_popsicle_stand|"blow this popsicle stand"]]
*The phrase "in the Squared Circle" (from the Easter egg) is likely referring to the fact that, although they are known as "boxing rings", they are in the shape of a square.

===Trivia===
*Marzipan's mascara tube reads "Hot Vegan".
*Strong Bad and Homestar are drinking [[Cold One|'old ones]].
*The bubbles made when the USS ''Flirtini'' is sinking makes the same sound as when [[Pom Pom]] speaks.
*The tape in the booOOMbox in the Easter egg reads "normal [[Wikipedia:Tape bias|bias]]".

===Goofs===
*When first released the fireworks were still visibly attached to the USS ''Flirtini'' as it sank after they had been launched. This has since been fixed.

===Inside References===
*In [[long pants]], Marizpan says that everybody claims her figure looks like a broom.
*The Cheat is again compared to cheese (in this case, a Trivial Pursuit cheese wedge), as was the case in [[huttah!]].
*Instead of actually gulping, Homestar merely "says" his gulp, which is what [[Fightgar]] did when [[Gunhaver]] ordered him to do some "undercover work" in [[Shopping for Danger]].
*"Seriously, Strong Strong" is a nod to Homestar's classic line, "[[Seriously|Seriously, Pom Pom]]."
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad smiling]].
*The candle and romantic music are from [[do over]].
*Homestar's "L'egg" hat also appeared in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*The stone bridge where Marzipan and The Cheat go at night is from [[personal favorites]].
*The rockets are Fthoom-Bang brand bottle rockets duct-taped together just like in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*While the USS ''Flirtini'' is sinking, the song that Strong Bad sings and Homestar hums is the [[Strong Badia National Anthem]].
*Coach Z being portrayed as a mother appeared in [[garage sale]].
*This also is another instance of [[mustaches]].
*During the Easter egg, the [[Public Radio Sound]] music from [[radio]] is heard.

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October|The Hunt for Red October]]'' was the first novel by [[Wikipedia:Tom Clancy|Tom Clancy]], which was later made into a [[Wikipedia:The Hunt for Red October (film)|film]]. The book and the film deal heavily with submarine warfare.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: the chair.</div>

Stooly here is a tush-cheek's dream. So cottony squish and pillowy fresh. ''{Zoom out to show Strong Bad leaping off of the stool.}'' Take a look-see!

''{Zoom in to the seat, which is filthy and has the word "STANK" seeping out of it at various spots.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, it's been upgraded to Stank...

'''BUBS:''' Hey, customer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What do you got in the way of things I can sit on whilst I check emails?

''{cut to the front of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! Lucky for you! I just got ''{places a box on the counter}'' this pre-owned box of chicken beaks in just now! Like ''right'' just now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Okay. Okay... But, you got anything less anthrax-y?

'''BUBS:''' I got this old Winger album! ''{holds up the record case}''

''{cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, yeah... that ''is'' less Anthrax-y. But I was kinda hoping for a chair of some kind.

''{cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Step right into my showroom!

''{Bubs slides away to his right. Cut to the side of Bubs' Concession Stand. As Strong Bad walks around, a portion of the wall falls outward, revealing a conveyor belt. Bubs rides on it standing on one foot.}''

'''BUBS:''' Zzzzziiiiiiiip! ''{jumps off conveyor belt}'' All right! We'll start at the tip, and work our way to the tup!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You make less sense every day, Bubsy.

'''BUBS:''' Crabadonk!

''{The wall flips back up, then falls down again, revealing a red, white and blue bicycle seat on the conveyor belt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's no chair! ''{zoom in on the seat}'' That's Red, White, and Banana! My old bicycle seat!

''{Cut to a film-projected scene of Li'l Strong Bad riding the bicycle seat outside a porch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I used to ride that thing on my paper route all the time!

''{Li'l Strong Bad lights a newspaper on fire with a [[BMW Lighter|Duplo lighter]] and throws it at the house. As it bounces off the door, the door begins to emit smoke, and Li'l Strong Bad laughs. Cut back to Strong Bad and Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'd better pass on that. I had a few too many wipeouts on that thing as a kid.

'''BUBS:''' Ugh! You nasty!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

''{The wall rises again, and falls down with a chair shaped like Homestar Runner on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What makes you think I want to check-a my email on a Homestar Runner-shaped chair?

'''BUBS:''' Aw, come on. Give it a try!

''{Strong Bad jumps onto the chair}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER CHAIR:''' Ow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping out of the chair}'' Wah!

'''BUBS:''' Whoops, seen enough of that one!

''{The wall rises and falls with a deformed gray lump vaguely resembling a chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, your snowman died!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' You simpleton! This is a Danoob Largo original!

''{Cut to the chair. A Styleron Ecochair logo appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' The Styleron Ecochair!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pan up to Strong Bad}'' Look, I don't care how Swedish your chair is. I have no need for a giant ''{pan back to the chair}'' albino doggie-doody.

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to Bubs}'' Always a hit at parties...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut back to Strong Bad}'' Come on, Bubs! Don't you have anything more... ''executive''? A chair that will intimidate my underlings and eliminate my overlings!

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! ''{Cut back to the wide shot of Strong Bad and Bubs, the wall is already up.}'' Lucky for you! I just got this pre-owned—

''{The wall falls, displaying the same box of chicken beaks seen earlier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' ''NOT'' ''{The conveyor belt immediately rises.}'' a box of chicken beaks!

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Then behold!

''{The conveyor belt falls again, revealing a large leather chair, which obscures Strong Bad as it rolls out. The chair glows and a chorus sounds briefly, and a golden "Le Restige" plaque appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' Le Restige!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{appears from behind the chair}'' Style ''and'' class! Oh, tell me that leather's Corinthian! Just ''tell'' me it's Corinthian!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' Crabadonk!

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad, who is now sitting on the chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So what kind of options are we looking at on this baby?

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! You're gonna love this!

''{Bubs opens a compartment in the arm rest to reveal a red button and presses it, making a buzzing sound. A pair of metallic arms appear from behind Strong Bad and quickly slip a pair of gray sweatpants on him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A sweatpants button! And so begins my meteoric rise to the top of the corporate ladder... Now alls we gotta do is see how well it checks emails!

''{Cut back to the computer room, with Le Restige taking up nearly the entire screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Hey, hey, hey. It's email.

''{opens an email which is almost completely obscured by the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading email}'' Dear Strong Bad, how come you never take your mask off? ''{typing}'' Like I've said before, ''this'' is not a mask. It's my face. But hey, I'll give it a shot!

''{Strong Bad tugs on his mask until it comes off. He raises the mask above the chair and screams for a few seconds, then puts it back on again, making gurgling noises throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I am NEVER gonna do that again! And, here's a picture of my parents. ''{holds up a photo; only the corner is visible above the chair.}''

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now time to unwind with a pair of executive sweatpants!

''{Strong Bad opens the compartment in the same arm rest and pushes the sweatpants button, making the buzzing sound again. The robotic arms go haywire and toss Strong Bad into the air. He falls down with several layered sweatpants on his legs and another pair on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ooooh... so... many... sweatpants... I can't feel my parts...

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

Is this easter egg more evidence that [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] read the wiki?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:How so? They make the running gags, not us. My own speculation is that this will ultimately end in email 173 with something happening to The Paper. Or maybe in 175. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, but the fact that in this email Homestar seems almost resigned to saying it leads me to believe that they've figured out we've been looking for it. Or perhaps it's there because they realized they've been putting DNA evidence into every email and they're making fun of themselves. I was just speculating, that's all. No need to jump down my throat.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Not trying to jump down your throat. It would probably be really unhealthy anyways. They've got a great thread going on the [[Forum:10974|Forum]] about this, if you want to add your voice to the mix. Seems like most people think that this will culminate with sbemail 173. Personally though, I don't know how TBC could accidentally go 5 emails in a row with unconsciously writing DNA evidence into them. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
::::I personally think TBC *have* been messing around with us lately. They threw [[Drive-Thru]] at us totally randomly, and it was such a non-sequitur that we struggled for days to find references to virtually ''anything'' else in the HSR universe.

::I was about to mention that. Seriously it was totally on my mind, and then I noticed that someone already referenced it.

== SB2O versus Sb2O ==

The current explanation states that the SB2O drink is diantimony oxide. This would be Sb2O, not "SB2O" (as the drink bottle labels clearly state), which would be a mixture of one sulphur atom, two boron atoms and an oxygen atom. I think this needs to be corrected. [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 17:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:No, the bottle has "B" insted of "b" so no change.
::That's what he's saying. It would only be diantimony oxide if it were a lowercase b. With "B" instead, it would be one sulfur, two borons, and an oxegen atom, like he said. {{User:Exhibit A/sig}} 18:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah. Diantimony Oxide would be Sb2O, as opposed to SB2O. --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 21:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Erm... Under explanations it said that SB stood for antimony, but I corrected it and wrote it as "Sb." I didn't really mention sulfur or boron except in my edit eummary. Feel free to correct this page as you see fit. [[User:EYanyo|EYanyo]] 22:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

:But it's the name of a flavored water, it isn't intended as a chemical formula. This is simply trivia, and ought to be noted there, if at all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
::Right... but when I see something on a page that is incorrect, I prefer to fix it rather than outright remove it. I saw "SB is the chemical symbol for antimony" and I said, "Hmm. That should be 'Sb.'" Then I made it so. I don't really know/understand/care about all the nuances and stuff for the wiki, so you can take appropriate action for this fact. [[User:EYanyo|EYanyo]] 22:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, if a chemical formula is going to be referenced at all, it should at least be the one that the name resembles. Sb would never be written SB in a chemical formula as they represent two entirely different things. The reference should either be corrected or removed.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
As far as regards the "flavored water" (imagine queasy voice to go with that), it's definitely not diantimony monoxide, nor is it sulfur diboron monoxide. I do think, however, that this is a real-world reference to a fairly well-known brand of bottled water known as "Fruit-2-O". I'm actually kind of surprised that this didn't get mentioned.--[[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 04:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

:You may want to weigh in at [[STUFF:rough copy]] — there's a discussion about this going on there... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, couldn't I at least put something on the page that pertains to "if SB20 were a chemical formula" etc etc... and that way people would be less confused? [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 18:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

== Snowball in the Freezer ==

StrongSad keeping snowballs in the freezer has "been done" by the likes of Bill Cosby and Calvin and Hobbes. It's not so much a reference as an old joke, possibly a nod or parody. [[User:KanineKommander|KanineKommander]]
:Very yes. Very old joke. Very [[TTATOT]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
::However, the way Strong Sad says it is more specifically reminiscent of Bill Cosby's routine. We should probably STUFF that fact. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:::STUFF it. My opinion has not been decided yet... but... --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== Gremlin ==

If I'm not mistaken, the Gremlin from one of the Christmas cartoons appears in the credit sequence. This should be mentioned in running gags.
:Ah, the AMC Gremlin. Go ahead. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== The Cheat's Mouth ==

I noticed that the Cheat opens his mouth for the soft tacos, he looks incredibly similar to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] when he eats the pops rocks. Also, should we put that he is acting like a seal in this, too? - {{User:Pants 3000/sig}} 16:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:The seal bit is noted, I believe. As far as him opening his mouth, is that really notable? I don't think so at all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
::I agree. That's just the way The Cheat opens his mouth, and one would expect TBC to use the same animations for similar actions in the cartoons. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 00:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It's alright, somebody put that in the Fun Facts. Yay! - {{User:Pants 3000/sig}} 16:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

== Senor Cardgage Glitches ==

Those reasons for deleting those facts are bogus, in my opinion. The arm one is totally obvious, and I see no reason why Strong Bad's cheek would swell and shrink back to normal size like that, since his mouth would be moving if he was chewing, and the right cheek does nothing similar. I will agree that my comment of "you're blind" was most juvenile, however, Qermaq, regardless of the reason for why this person was unable to see the glitch. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 23:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:*In the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's arm holding the candy bar moves upward slightly as he leans back. However, when he moves back to his original position, the hand moves back, but the arm stays in its lifted position until the Easter egg ends.
:**Also in the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's left cheek appears to move more slowly than the rest of his head as he leans back, then swells and shrinks once he leans forward back into place.
:'''EDIT CONFLICT:'''Those are there for reference. Now, I agree with the cheek one and not the arm one. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:This person has a name, you know. Anyways, I misread the fact about the arm not moving. You're right, that's a goof. The cheek moving like this still seems to be obvious chewing to me. So I agree with SMB.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
::I know your name, it was in the email confirmation the wiki sent me. I just didn't want to give any names, y'know... Don't ask why... Anywhoozit, I don't see how that could be considered "chewing." As I mentioned, his other cheek and his mouth don't move, and chewing wouldn't really explain why his right cheek freaks out like that - it just swells and shrinks really suddenly. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 00:12, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Loafing: I said the exact opposite of what you did, do you just like me? Anywayzers, I went back and watched the easter egg again, and I figured it out. They're a result of the goTo tag. The easter egg looks perfectly fine until it goes back to the original end. That's where everything jumps. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, play nice, childrens. Now for my two cents: Does it make sense for Strong Bad to be chewing on only one side of his mouth in such an odd fashion and not the other? If you watch his right cheek, it doesn't move with respect to his head when his head moves, but his left cheek does, and seemingly independently of his head.

As for the arm glitch: I'm not sure how you can not see it. I don't have a seek bar that can show frame numbers, but if you look at the last few frames of the Easter egg before it jumps back to the "end of toon" point (where animation stops), you can see that his arm is in a different position before the jump than it is after the jump. And if you follow the animation closely throughout the egg, you'll see that the arm animates exactly as described in the above-referenced Goofs. (If you are truly not seeing that, it's possible that TBC fixed this goof and I've got an old copy in cache.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

: I see both glitches. They're fairly obvious to me and I can't see how they're not glitches. I'm'a try in IE to see if I get different results. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:Yup, still see 'em. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

::Ok, Ok, I have simply misread (again!) what SMB said. I definitely think the arm jump is a goof. As for the cheek, I ''see'' what you say the left cheek does, but I don't think it's a goof. It may not be the best animation ever, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a goof. To start with, it's not uncommon for cartoon characters to only chew on one side. Also, note how his right cheek grows and shrinks when he chews before the Easter egg. His left cheek seemingly not moving back when his head does could be a goof, but it can also be explained by him moving the bar inside his mouth at the same time. Hence, we shouldn't claim that one's a goof. Hope this clears the confusion about what I think is a goof and what not.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

== Bogart is not an inside reference ==

""Bogart" was previously used as a verb in Homestar Presents: Presents."

To bogart something is to hoard it for oneself. It used to specifically mean not passing around the weed. I'm fairly certain it's still a fairly popular term. At least, I still use it. But I wouldn't really call it an inside reference. They didn't invent the term, and they don't use it in any kind of in-jokey way.

-ghostmaster
:for the record, it originates from Humphry Bogart's habbit of keeping a cigarette in his mouth at all times, even while talking. From there it was used to mean holding onto a joint for longer than your turn. From there it means holding onto anything for more than your turn, or not sharing. -Sam

== The Cheat's Mouth ==

I noticed that the Cheat opens his mouth for the soft tacos, he looks incredibly similar to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] when he eats the pops rocks. Also, should we put that he is acting like a seal in this, too? - {{User:Pants 3000/sig}} 16:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

It's alright, somebody put that in the Fun Facts. Yay! - {{User:Pants 3000/sig}} 16:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

== Senor Cardgage Glitches ==

Those reasons for deleting those facts are bogus, in my opinion. The arm one is totally obvious, and I see no reason why Strong Bad's cheek would swell and shrink back to normal size like that, since his mouth would be moving if he was chewing, and the right cheek does nothing similar. I will agree that my comment of "you're blind" was most juvenile, however, Qermaq, regardless of the reason for why this person was unable to see the glitch. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 23:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:*In the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's arm holding the candy bar moves upward slightly as he leans back. However, when he moves back to his original position, the hand moves back, but the arm stays in its lifted position until the Easter egg ends.
:**Also in the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's left cheek appears to move more slowly than the rest of his head as he leans back, then swells and shrinks once he leans forward back into place.
:'''EDIT CONFLICT:'''Those are there for reference. Now, I agree with the cheek one and not the arm one. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:This person has a name, you know. Anyways, I misread the fact about the arm not moving. You're right, that's a goof. The cheek moving like this still seems to be obvious chewing to me. So I agree with SMB.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
::I know your name, it was in the email confirmation the wiki sent me. I just didn't want to give any names, y'know... Don't ask why... Anywhoozit, I don't see how that could be considered "chewing." As I mentioned, his other cheek and his mouth don't move, and chewing wouldn't really explain why his right cheek freaks out like that - it just swells and shrinks really suddenly. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 00:12, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Loafing: I said the exact opposite of what you did, do you just like me? Anywayzers, I went back and watched the easter egg again, and I figured it out. They're a result of the goTo tag. The easter egg looks perfectly fine until it goes back to the original end. That's where everything jumps. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, play nice, childrens. Now for my two cents: Does it make sense for Strong Bad to be chewing on only one side of his mouth in such an odd fashion and not the other? If you watch his right cheek, it doesn't move with respect to his head when his head moves, but his left cheek does, and seemingly independently of his head.

As for the arm glitch: I'm not sure how you can not see it. I don't have a seek bar that can show frame numbers, but if you look at the last few frames of the Easter egg before it jumps back to the "end of toon" point (where animation stops), you can see that his arm is in a different position before the jump than it is after the jump. And if you follow the animation closely throughout the egg, you'll see that the arm animates exactly as described in the above-referenced Goofs. (If you are truly not seeing that, it's possible that TBC fixed this goof and I've got an old copy in cache.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

: I see both glitches. They're fairly obvious to me and I can't see how they're not glitches. I'm'a try in IE to see if I get different results. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:Yup, still see 'em. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

::Ok, Ok, I have simply misread (again!) what SMB said. I definitely think the arm jump is a goof. As for the cheek, I ''see'' what you say the left cheek does, but I don't think it's a goof. It may not be the best animation ever, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a goof. To start with, it's not uncommon for cartoon characters to only chew on one side. Also, note how his right cheek grows and shrinks when he chews before the Easter egg. His left cheek seemingly not moving back when his head does could be a goof, but it can also be explained by him moving the bar inside his mouth at the same time. Hence, we shouldn't claim that one's a goof. Hope this clears the confusion about what I think is a goof and what not.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The shrinking part might be chewing, but the cheek itself doesn't move with SB's head. That part should be left in. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 02:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

::Loafing, you can tell it's not chewing because if you look closely, at the begining of the egg, part of his cheek does not have an outline on it. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Does a chewing cheek always have an outline in it? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone think we should put when SB and the cheat are in barbed wire and silouetted and their bodies are cut off where the barbed wire is as a goof? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
:Not really. I think the silhouette effect was to make it look like the "comic" characters had "come to life" or somesuch, then zooming in to reveal it was just Strong Bad and The Cheat covered in barbed wire was the gag. Or, um, something. That was a bit garbled, heh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

== caffiene ==

# This is the first time Strong Sad has been physically violent toward Strong Bad. He was previously violent towards Coach Z in in caffeine.

== Bogart is not an inside reference ==

""Bogart" was previously used as a verb in Homestar Presents: Presents."

To bogart something is to hoard it for oneself. It used to specifically mean not passing around the weed. I'm fairly certain it's still a fairly popular term. At least, I still use it. But I wouldn't really call it an inside reference. They didn't invent the term, and they don't use it in any kind of in-jokey way.

-ghostmaster
:for the record, it originates from Humphry Bogart's habbit of keeping a cigarette in his mouth at all times, even while talking. From there it was used to mean holding onto a joint for longer than your turn. From there it means holding onto anything for more than your turn, or not sharing. -Sam

Seriously, this is about the second or third to most ridiculous debate i've seen. It's "manila". That's it. That's what they're called, that's what he said, and, by the way, the argument that "it's funny as 'vanilla'" or "that's the kind of joke they would make" don't hold any water, because if they really were making that joke they would go out of their way to make it clear that he was saying "vanilla" or else people might miss it.

:I appreciate DeFender1031 for making this argument and I appreciate The Mu for his ability to listen for both. I was worried that I was the only person in the world who could see ''why'' people were arguing. If your brain intends to hear "vanilla," it will hear "vanilla" until you give yourself the chance to hear how others hear it as "manila." Going with what DeFender said, a manila envelope is a real thing. In a debate that is well-split with opinions, it is more logical to go with what people in the real world would call it. It's less logical to assume that Strong Bad was just being Strong Bad and tweaking his words, because you simply don't know if he was or was not. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Taser gnome.PNG|thumb|Low rates and percent signs]]
*Click on the comic strip on the wall of Strong Bad's cubicle when Strong Sad appears to see a [[Dullard]] comic.
*Click on "work" at the end after Strong Bad's comment in order to play "[[Taser the Gnome Game|Taser the Gnome For Low Rates]]".

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Firewall|firewall]] is meant to protect a computer from unwanted connections, though it is occasionally used (incorrectly) to refer to a [[Wikipedia:Proxy server|proxy server]], often used at workplaces and schools to restrict access to non-work related websites.
*A [[Wikipedia:Temporary work|temp]] is a short-term (or temporary) worker.
*A [[Wikipedia:Blog|blog]], or "weblog", is a journal-like user generated website.
*A [[Wikipedia:Schwa|schwa]] is an unstressed, neutral vowel sound, represented by an ə (an upside down e).
*The squiggly (~) is known as the [[Wikipedia:Tilde|tilde]].
*"Corpy" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of [[Wikipedia:Corporation|corporation]] and [[Compy 386|Compy]].
*The [http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/whales/glossary/indexd.shtml dorsal ridge] is a raised line or hump on the back of some whales (in place of a dorsal fin).
*Strong Bad's log off/log out key sequence is a parody of the key sequence used to unlock Windows NT work stations, [[Wikipedia:Three-finger salute (computing)|Ctrl+Alt+Delete]].
*A taser is an [[Wikipedia:Electroshock weapon|electroshock gun]] or stun gun, a weapon used for subduing a person by administering an electric shock. It is described as non-lethal (officially "less-lethal", meaning it is not intended to kill, and usually does not kill, but does on rare occasions). It is a weapon used by police officers, army personnel, and by individuals. They are not meant to do any permanent damage to a person, only to stun them temporarily.

===Remarks===
*The sound made by the computer when the [[Edgar#Grandmaw Edgar|Cheatware]] disk is put in is the noise made by many old 5.25" floppy drives. This was also heard in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], [[Peasant's Quest]], and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]]. However, the Cheatware disk is a 3.5" one.
**The sound could also be replicating the sound made by the Commodore Amiga A500 floppy drive.

*The tune to the opening email song that this email has is similar to that of [[trading cards]].
*Several fluorescent lights can be seen in the Corpy's reflection.
*The ASCII-like image of The Cheat is not possible to make with ASCII. Parenthesis are used sideways, and the characters do not align correctly with a fixed width font.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Tazer Gnome 100,000.PNG|thumb|Six digits.]]
*The Dullard comic is not visibly attached to the wall in any way, as the thumbtack does not actually go through the comic.
*The reflections of the lights above Strong Bad's cubicle overlap the reflection of his head, which should not be possible since his head would block any light coming from that direction.

=== Glitches ===
*The gnome-tasering game's score system is only meant to hold five digits, and hitting 100,000+ will result in the last digit getting cut off.

===Inside References===

*This is the fifth email running to mention [[DNA Evidence]].
*Strong Sad previously said "staysh" in [[Missing Lappy]].
*This is another program of the [[Edgar]] family.
*Using a lazormop to scrub all the nudules and crudules off the space whale's dorsal ridge is another example of [[Lasers]].
*One of the items in Bubs's tool belt is a [[Permanent Marker|permanent marker]].
*Bubs spoke of The Man in [[Cool Things]].
*Homestar saying he'll have the DNA evidence on Pom Pom's desk by five is a reference to the first [[Dullard]] comic.

===Real-World References===
*Products advertised in the Taser the Gnome easter egg are a [[Wikipedia:XBox|Microsoft Xbox]], a [[Wikipedia:iPod (5G)|Fifth Generation iPod]], and a [[Wikipedia:PlayStation Portable|PlayStation Portable (PSP)]], all common "prizes" for playing the game ads which the Gnome Tasering game is parodying.
*''[[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'' is a well-known and often imitated video game created by [[Wikipedia:Alexey Pajitnov|Alexey Pajitnov]], and has been ported to several video game consoles.
*The "Corpy [[Wikipedia:Windows NT|NT]]6" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Windows_Vista|Windows Vista]], which is Windows NT [[Wikipedia:Windows NT#Releases|version 6]].
*[[Wikipedia:The Man|The Man]] is a term from the '60s used to describe authority figures. It is often associated with a negative connotation, as '60s movements which used the term tended to resist the influence of individuals who could be considered "The Man."
*"Insurance games" is a reference to online advertisements from companies, like LowerMyBills.com and FreePay, that feature Flash-based games which lead to the company's website when played.
*The screen turning blue is a reference to the [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning#System Errors|Blue Screen of Death]], a [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] system error screen.
*[http://dictionary.reference.com Dictionary.com] is an online dictionary.
*Pom Pom being called "the big cheese" and carrying a bike through the office may be a reference to [[wikipedia:The Office (US TV series)|The Office]]'s Josh Porter, a managerial character who has also been seen carrying a bike through his office.

Despite the episode being changed, the season 2 intro still features the removed Strong Sad clip.

Clarance has no friends in the cartoon series, so his friends list on his fake MySpace page is filled with pictures of himself in disguises. One disguise is the King of Town, complete with crown, beard and mustache. Also, the name listed for that "friend" is "City Sovren" [''sic''], a parody of the name "King of Town".

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This week, I'm feeling my style! I've got confidence in my email!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: sb!!!!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
If your head got disconnected and your head was rolling 
all over the place and you didn't even know were your 
body is or your head, what would you do? 
Jenny
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad struggles to read everything between "were" and the final "head". He also sings Jenny's name, as follows:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Jennyyy... ''{high-pitched}'' Jenny! ''{speaking normally, typing}'' Um, was ''your'' head connected to ''your'' body when you wrote this email? I think I get the gist of it. ''{clears the screen}'' While my head and body are normally the bosomest ''{pronounced boosomest}'' of buddies, I suppose I could double my productivity if they were separated. Like, I could raise that ruckus I've been planning in two days instead of four! The plausibilities are endless!

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad's disembodied head is speaking to Homestar Runner. A sign reads "THE CAREER ADVISOR IS REAL IN" with "REAL" being a separate removable word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head could be off giving folks career advice...

''{The scene pans over and darkens, while a second scene appears on the left with a split down the middle of the screen. The scene on the left shows Strong Bad's headless body next to a box of "riot rocks", near the King of Town's castle. He is throwing the rocks at the King of Town and The Poopsmith, who is wearing [[Whatsit|whatsit]]-covered armor and blocking the rocks with a shield that has the King's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...whilst my body is rioting against the municipality!

''{The body's scene darkens while the head's scene brightens.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Maybe this running business just isn't for you. Have you ever considered the making and selling of tiny breads?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Bunmaker, eh? Me likey, me likey! Thanks, Eggman! ''{turns away, but then turns back}'' Oh, and... ''{throws coins}'' why don't you get yourself something to eat? Put some meat on them bones, girl!

''{Homestar walks off. The bar dividing the two scenes slides off to the left, resulting in a single scene. The camera pans right to reveal the same rock-throwing scene just to the right of Strong Bad's head. His head turns toward his body.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' That's some nice revolutin', there, body, but, uh, maybe we should spread out. Like, more.

''{The body gives the head a thumbs-up. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad's head on a beach. His head is sitting on a picnic blanket, resting against a palm tree, and wearing a pair of sunglasses. There is a drink with three umbrellas in front of him. A seagull can be heard in the background. The camera zooms out slowly.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Ah, livin' the sleazy life.

''{The camera cuts back to show that Strong Bad's head is actually alone on a small island.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{turning back}'' Hey, cabana boy! My drink needs more umbrellas! What kind of deserted island is this, anyway?

''{Cut to Club Technochocolate, where Strong Bad's body is dancing with Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Meanwhile, my body could be off putting its considerably reduced weight on it down at the clüb!

'''BUBS:''' Dang, Strong Body! Without all that extra head ballast, your moves are twicely fresh! Twicely fresh!

''{Cut to an image of Strong Bad's head rolling across The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time. I might have to rig up some kind of repulsorlifts!

''{The camera cuts back, and the head begins to hover through a disc on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, scratch that. I'm gonna need something with a little more... muscle.

''{The disc disappears and is replaced by flaming exhaust pipes on the top of its head. Motorcycle sounds are heard.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! ''{leans back, as though revving up}'' Reer! Reeeeer! ''{starts zipping back and forth across the scene quickly}'' Rooow! Rooow! Rooo! Reer! ''{imitating brakes as it stops}'' Reeeeee! Whoa! This mess rules! I can finally win the million-yard dash! ''{zips forward again}'' Roooo...

''{Cut to a finish line, which the head zips through quickly. Then cut to the other side, where Coach Z is holding a stopwatch.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{imitating brakes}'' Reeeee! Oh, yes! I beat Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, Head Bad, but you was the only one competin' this year! Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!

''{Homestar jumps up behind Strong Bad's head, wearing a new hat that reads "BUNMAKER" and holding a box of "TINY BREADS".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cooornbreeeeead! I got cornbread here! Dinner rolls! Cornbread! Everybody wants a bun! Lemme hear that dinner roll!

''{Cut to a blank white screen. Strong Bad's body walks on from stage right, while the unaltered head rolls on from stage left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe one day, we'd both learn to regenerate...

''{The head gains an arm, a green leg, a spirally arm, and an extremely thin robotic-looking leg. The body gains an odd growth colored to look like Strong Bad's head in its chest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...creating two perfectly-formed Strong Bad specimens!

'''STRONG BODY:''' ''{in a whiny voice that sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I would like to go to the store.

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{in a scratchy voice followed by laughing that also sounds nothing like Strong Bad}''  [[#Footnote|[1]]] 

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eeeugh! Go away, head-nub and nub-head. Those things look straight out of the creature shop from some low-to-no budget horror film. Maybe chopping my head off isn't such a good idea.

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing next to a guillotine near the computer.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes dejected The Cheat noises, walks off}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, time to go satisfy my sudden craving for tiny breads. ''{gets up}'' Hope I can find my local bunman...

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia:Ballast tanks|Ballast]] is a material (such as water) used in a ballast tank to add mass to an object, usually to improve stability.

===Trivia===

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#below the root|below the root]]".
*One million yards is approximately 568 miles. If Head Bad "dashed" at a constant 200 mph, his time for the race would be 2 hours, 50 minutes, and 27.273 seconds.
*This is the first email in which an Easter egg is found before the actual email is shown.
*When Head Bad is on the deserted island, he is wearing his [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.

===Remarks===

*Viewing the Flash file of this email on a web browser does not allow you to see outside of the frame by stretching the window, due to there being a large black area covering the area normally offscreen. If stretched far enough, there is, actually, an end to the black area.
*[[Wiktionary:plausible|Plausible]] means "seemingly believable", and a [[Wiktionary:plausibility|plausibility]] is anything that is plausible. Strong Bad's use of the word "plausibility" is incorrect; a more appropriate word would be "possibility".
*The Regenerator 4 Easter egg has an unexpected [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]] in the same word as a capital I.
*In the DVD commentary for [[island]], [[Matt Chapman]] said that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] planned to revisit the island scene in a later toon.
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the running lanes are labeled 5, 6, 7. Lanes 1 through 4 are missing.
*"The Municipality" is a synonym of "town", as in the one over which the King rules.
*This is the first time the King of Town has shown any authority in Free Country USA.
*Homestar doesn't actually have any cornbread in his box of tiny breads.

===Goofs===

*When Head Bad gets the 'muscle' engine growing out of his head, his shadow on the ground never changes to match the engine.
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the finish line tape is connected to a pole. In another shot there, the pole is gone, and the tape just sits on the ground.
*When Strong Body is "rioting against the municipality" a rock appears in his glove after each throw without him reaching into the box.
*When the screen pans to show that Strong Body is rioting right next to Head Bad giving career advice, before you would have seen the Poopsmiths bat and Head Bad's Career Advice sign crossing the border separating the seperate Strong Body and Head Bad screens.

===Inside References===

*[[Head Bad and Strong Body]] were first used on [[Main Page 7]].
*Coach Z calling Homestar "'Strammy" mirrors his mispronunciation "Stramstar" in [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "club" also occurred in [[extra plug]].
*The exhaust pipes on Strong Bad's head are the same ones used on Bubs's pumpkin in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*Homestar becoming a bunmaker could be related to his obsession with [[Bread|bread]] in [[origins]].
*Bubs's dance in Club Technochocolate is the same one he did in [[geddup noise]].
*While Strong Body is dancing in Club Technochocolate, he slides on the ground while kneeling, a move that was also performed by Strong Bad at the end of his [[rock opera]].
*Strong Bad's head was first called an [[Eggs|egg]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*A "cabana boy" was mentioned earlier in the [[Puppet Jam: Tropical Lazor Beams#DVD Transcript|DVD version of Tropical Lazor Beams]].

===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad's "career advisor" sign is similar to the "Psychiatric help" sign used by [[Wikipedia:Lucy van Pelt|Lucy van Pelt]] from the [[Peanuts]] comics. More specifically, it reads "The doctor is real in", with "real in" being the moveable part of the sign in ''[[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]]''.
*The Repulsorlift is the technology used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' universe to create lift for vehicles. It is most notably used on the various speeders, but it also works for spacecraft, such as the [[Wikipedia:X-wing|X-wing]]. It is supposedly based on the creation of artificial gravity "pockets" that act against the natural gravity of other objects.
*The phrase "put your weight on it" (in reference to dancing) comes from the Rudy Ray Moore movie ''The Disco Godfather,'' and is often regarded as the best thing about the movie. This phrase was used earlier in the email [[flashback]].
*"Lemme hear that dinner roll" is a reference to the lyrics of the 1994 song [[Wikipedia:Tootsie Roll (song)|"Tootsie Roll"]] by the band 69 Boyz.
*The exhaust pipes coming out of Head Bad could be referred to as a "[[Wikipedia:Manifold (automotive engineering)|header]]" in automotive engineering parlance.
*The "We're Onto You" poster could be a reference to the similar propaganda "Big Brother Is Watching You" from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.
*Bubs's repetition of the phrase "twicely fresh" is reminiscent of the Sesame Street character and host of Mysterious Theater Vincent Twice's repetition of his own name.
*"With Special Make-up Effects by TOLD SALLIAVERi" could be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tom Savini|Tom Savini]], well-known special effects make-up man in many low-budget (as well as hit) movies, such as [[Wikipedia:Day of the Dead|Day of the Dead]] and the [[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th|Friday the 13th]] series.
*Strong Bad's deserted island drink could be a [[Wikipedia:Tequila Sunrise (cocktail)|Tequila Sunrise]], judging by the scene's tropical theme and the drink's gradual color blend from yellow to dark orange.






===Fast Forward===
*The floppy disk reading "below the root" also appears in [[keep cool]].
