== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Rapping}'' I'm not gonna sing an email song this week e—''{realizes mistake, talking}'' Oh. Never mind.

''{Pulls up email}'' ''{Reading}''

<blockquote class="email">YO yo Strongbad, 
Hey Strongbad I was wondering if you 
have ever made Homestar cry. 
DJ Solerous, Australia.</blockquote>

''{After "Hey Strongbad" he stops mid-sentence and says: "Well, which is it? 'Yo yo' or 'Hey' Strong Bad? I mean, the outcome of the rest of this whole email hinges on the decision made—" Without skipping a beat, as if it no longer matters, he finishes reading the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Whoa! ''THE'' DJ Solerous? What an honor! I saw you spin in a warehouse in Canberra ''{He pronounces it as can-BEAR-uh.}'' a few years back! Uh, no wait. I lied. I, nor anyone else, have ever heard of DJ Smoldyface.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, have I ever made Homestar cry? Uh, yes. Yes, I have. A lot. I can pretty much make anybody cry just by showing them this drawing I invented of a one-legged puppy named "Li'l Brudder."

''{Strong Bad holds up a picture of a one-legged puppy saying "I can make it on my own."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' I mean, it cracks me up, but Homestar just falls apart when he sees him. A-like so... ''{Gets up and exits.}''

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is standing there, looking angrily offscreen right. Enter Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, you stay over there.

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Homestar. I've got something for you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Thanks, Strong Bad! What is it what is it what is it what is it what is it?

'''STRONG BAD''': It's just this drawing I made...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{uneasy}'' Oh, no. Don't do it. You know the storm that will unleash!

'''STRONG BAD''': No! I think you'll like it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Edge of tears}'' Strong Bad, no! I can't handle it!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ta-daaah! ''{Holds the Li'l Brudder drawing in front of his face.}''

''{Homestar breaks down crying, falls to his knees}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No-ho-hooo... LIDD'L BRUDDOR! That little guy... He's got the heart of a champion! You can make it, Li'l Brudder! You just keep scrapin' along!

''{Strong Bad looks on in disbelief; Homestar is lying on the ground, sobbing hysterically and kicking at the air}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Li'l Brudder... I... ''I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WITH MY LIFE!'' I-I'm thinking of getting into male modeling—o-or maybe high finance... I JUST DON'T KNOW!!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{As Li'l Brudder, shaking the drawing like a crude hand puppet.}'' I'm gonna be all right, Homestar.''{Homestar is heard sobbing hysterically}'' I can make it on my own!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{sobs}'' It's like I said—the heart of a champion!

''{Enter the Cheat, from offscreen left.}''

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

''{Strong Bad turns to The Cheat and does his Li'l Brudder act.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, The Cheat, I'm gonna be a quarterback when I grow up! I'm gonna throw for 2,000 yards! ''{The Cheat begins sobbing.}'' Don't cry for me, The Cheat-entina...

''{Enter Strong Sad, his eyes red around the edges and all watery, apparently trying not to cry.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh, Strong Bad, is Li'l Brudder named after me? Do you think of ''me'' as a... one-legged puppy?

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. I think of you as a two-legged elephant...named "Tendafoot." ''{Pronounces name as "Tenderfoot."}''

''{He holds up a picture of this, with "Tendafoot" saying "I'm tops!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Speaking as Tendafoot/Strong Sad}'' I could power a small city with my whining!

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{dejected}'' I probably could.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{still sobbing}'' Oh-h-h-h, Tendafoot, can you tell me how to get the most out of life?

''{Cut to Compy 386. Strong Bad enters and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' There ya go. Homestar crying. Not a problem. I bet all a y'alls are prob'ly crying all over the place. That Li'l Brudder sure knows how to tug at your heartstrings. ''{begins to choke up as he speaks}'' He's just such a trooper.  Got such a strong... one leg. ''{recovers}'' Um, yeah. I think I've got a ''{hesitates}'' food in the oven. ''{begins to choke up again}'' I gotta go.

''{Strong Bad gets up and hurries out.}''

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Strong Bad invents a 1-legged puppy and the tears flow."
*This toon has [[Nondescript Nouns]] ("Food").

===Remarks===
* The tears flying off Homestar's face are the same as in [[A Jorb Well Done]]. In A Jorb Well Done, the water coming off his face is sweat.
* This is the first email to come from Australia.
* Strong Bad must be an extremely talented typist to be able to quickly type an entire sentence, complete with punctuation and capital letters, with only one hand as he holds up Li'l Brudder's picture with the other...while wearing boxing gloves.
**This is in contrast to the other instance of typing with a skewed view for the previous email [[pom pom]], where he failed to type coherently when he couldn't see due to his blindfold.
*The pieces of notebook paper are unusually rigid. Even when Strong Bad is holding the Lil' Brudder picture from the bottom it still stands straight up.
*When Homestar is rolling on the ground, it seems his shading stays on one side of his body.

===Inside References===
*The DJ flyer is a reference to an Easter egg in [[techno]] for The Cheat's light-switch rave.
*"I can make it on my own" might be a reference to the Easter egg in [[invisibility]], where the tossed-out [[Tandy 400]] says it.
*When Li'l Brudder falls, it makes the same sound that Homsar makes when he walks.

===Real-World References===
*On the DJ flyer, "DJ from Roseanne" is a reference to the television show "[[IMDB:tt0094540|Roseanne]]". Actor [[IMDB:nm0279896|Michael Fishman]] played the role of Roseanne's son D. J. Conner.
*"Don't cry for me the Cheatentina" is a reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:Don't Cry For Me, Argentina|Don't Cry For Me, Argentina]]" from [[Wikipedia:Andrew Lloyd Webber|Andrew Lloyd Webber's]] musical "[[Wikipedia:Evita|Evita]]".
*"Tendafoot" is possibly a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scouts']] rank of "[[Wikipedia:List of BSA rank requirements#Tenderfoot Scout|Tenderfoot]]", which is the first rank a Scout can achieve.
*[[Wikipedia:Canberra|Canberra]] is Australia's capital city. Most Australians pronounce the city's name "CAN-bruh." A minority pronounce it "CAN-buh-ruh" and a few use "can-BEAR-uh," though the latter is generally considered incorrect. The varying pronunciation is to some extent a class-based difference.
*[[Wikipedia:International House of Pancakes|IHOP]] and [[Wikipedia:Denny's|Denny's]] are restaurant chains that both specialize in breakfast items.

===Fast Forward===
*Li'l Brudder and Tendafoot later star in their own TV show, ''[[The Li'l Brudder Show]]''.
*Homestar mentions that he's considering male modeling while talking to Li'l Brudder. He later models for the front page of "[[Stupid Coincidence Magazine]]" in the e-mail [[modeling]].

===Commentary Transcript===
'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]

'''MIKE:''' An email. Hi, guys!

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' You just did that. Ummmm, guh, start us over. Start us over. No, let's keep going. Let's keep going. Let's keep going.

'''MATT:''' Are you sure?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' All I can think to do is, like, start saying the email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Just recite the lines along with it.

'''MATT:''' Mmmhmm.

'''MIKE:''' Don't we, don't you mispronounce uh...

'''MATT:''' Canberra?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' How are you supposed to say it?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. I think its supposed to be... Canberra, or something.

'''MATT:''' Oh. Have we gotten complaints?

'''MIKE:''' I think there was, I think in one of the message boards, There was a...

'''MATT:''' I can't imagine Strong Bad being a stickler for, uh...

'''MIKE:''' Pronouncing foreign cities.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Even though he is a stickler about a lot of other things. So this is where Little Brudder came from.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. He's since gone on to uhh, have his own theme song. Who do you think Homestar was talking to?

'''MATT:''' I think he was talking to that pile of, uh, Swiss Cake Rolls that he's friends with.

'''MIKE:''' Those things are bad for you!

'''MATT:''' They got in a fight and he told them to stay over there. Ober dere. Did you draw those new feet for this one, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' No, that was actually for the Cheat Commandos.

'''MATT:''' Oh, right.

'''MIKE:''' And Homestar's kneeling down, playing Cheat Commandos in the commercial.

'''MATT:''' I think the drool, the public drool, is really what does it with Little Brudder.

'''MIKE:''' Makes it what?

'''MATT:''' Even sadder. More pathetic.

'''MIKE:''' Those tears, that Homestar has, were originally sweat from, uh, an old cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Jumping Jacks cartoon.

'''MATT:''' That's been around forever, and unchanged, mostly.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, not very good.

'''MATT:''' No, they're not.

'''MIKE:''' They probably, they probably need to be updated.

'''MATT:''' They don't look at it.

'''MIKE:''' ''{noises, sounds like "thang, thang, thang"}''

'''MIKE:''' I always wondered about the abbreviation, or the shortening of little to li'l, and where the apostrophe goes. Because there technically should be an apostrophe after both, before and after the l.

'''MATT:''' Well, right, because there's an e at the end of...

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause sometimes I do lil', and sometimes I do li'l.

'''MATT:''' It's back when they spelled little litel.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, it's replacing all of those. One of the few times when Strong Sad, these days, is actually sad. He has really not been sad, in a long time.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's, yeah, it's true. We, our website sucks now.

'''MIKE:''' No, it's better. He became more um... developed. He used to just say things like, "We die a little more every day," or something like that.

'''MATT:''' "Each day we die a little more," Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Ha! Well, my impression was pretty good. Look at his extensive use of apostrophes, right there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Prob'ly, and y'alls.

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' He used an apostrophe there, in "I've." This is the apostrophe email.

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

JohnnyWeird — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 20:42:21 GMT

JohnnyWeird: /* Fat Customer */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

This person is found at the thrift store that [[What's Her Face]] shopped at, where she stays behind a rack of shirts, holding a sign that reads, "1 or 2 cent each item." In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] DVD commentary, Strong Bad says that she is a "homeless woman."
|-
|[[Image:Possum_Attack.PNG|150px|"Poooosssssummmmms...!"]] ||

=====Possums=====
A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked What's Her Face as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her. The possum attack apparently made [[What's Her Face]]'s blood hurt. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Bretterson are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].
|-
| [[Image:quarterback.png|150px|Quarterman]] ||
=====Quarterback=====
The quarterback for the Fighting Growlbacks is a target of the affections of [[Cheerleader]]. He dismisses her with the quip "How's about you get some brains?" This causes Cheerleader to get CEREBELLUM'D by [[Arrow'd Guy]]'s [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Giant_Brain_Mech|Giant Brain Mech]]. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Cerebellumed_Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||

|[[Image:perchingbird.png|150px|PERCH!]] ||
=====Fat Bird=====
The fat bird is first seen in Issue 5, perched on the "meanwhile, ON VACATION" sign in the transition scene. Later in the cartoon, when The Ugly One gets nervous and sticks her head in the sand, the fat bird flies down and perches on her side. The bird doesn't seem to do anything after that. It just sits there with its tongue hanging out for the rest of the cartoon.
|-
| [[Image:oldaboys.png|150px|Lying around...]] ||
=====Olda Boys=====
The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They can combine their sayings into a pretty cool jam. The longer-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Famous or Cool Guys.PNG|150px|Cool or famous]] ||
=====[[Wikipedia:Henry Rollins|Henry Rollins]], [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]], and [[Wikipedia:George Washington|George Washington]]=====

They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

|-
|[[Image:giftexchangelion.png|150px|Now with more 3-legged action!]] ||
=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[Lions|lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||
=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:hawiianguy.png|150px|Singing about babies]] ||

=====Hawaiian Guy=====
This musician wears a Hawaiian shirt and plays a ukulele. He sang "Wave o' Babies" as a wave of babies appeared. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:gazelle_carcass_half-digested.PNG|150px|Bonus: Half-Digested!]] ||
=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]] to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

|-
|[[Image:squished_fatman.PNG|150px|Squished.]] ||
=====Fat Man=====
He's a fat man who wears a singlet similar to Strong Mad's. He fell down a slide and squished Teeny Tiny Cheerleader while she was throwing a tantrum. He bears a striking resemblance to pro wrestler [[Wikipedia:Chris Pallies|King Kong Bundy]].
|-
| [[Image:billbellamy.png|150px|The bell tolls for thee]] ||
=====Bill Bellamy=====
This is the bell seen in Issue 7 in the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad's [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Diaper School|preschool]]. His role is similar to that of the Intercom, but specific relationship details are unknown. He bears the same name as actor and comedian [[IMDB:nm0004740|Bill Bellamy]].

|-
|[[Image:TGS_Intercom.png|120px|Who's that hiding in the wheel?]] ||
=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-
|[[Image:stepmom.jpg|150px|"YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!"]] ||

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-
|[[Image:FattysBigChance2.png|150px|Consider it Picked!]] ||

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands. With his [[Wikipedia:Two Tone|two tone]] suit and rousing chant of "pick it up, pick it up," Fatty is a [[Wikipedia:Ska|ska]] machine. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Trollswantautograph.PNG|150px|KRA'AGH!]] ||

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DiED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||
=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

This girl first appears in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. She is not a very good driver, and ends up DRiVER'S ED'ED...DEADing Cheerleader. On the plus side, she gives Strong Bad a ride to Babbage's. She also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

Science Fiction Greg is an old boyfriend of What's Her Face, and, judging by his name, is a science fiction fan. After Cheerleader died, he admits that he knew that she (What's Her Face) would come back to him. He also claims that his experience points went into triple digits and he has since needed to keep the ladies and valkyries off with a two-handed +3 broad sword. As these are all Dungeons and Dragons terms, this claim bites D N' D Greg's style. He also attends "Cosplayer Camp" in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]], where he dresses as a space man. His bare chest can create a "Blinding voip", as Cheerleader discovers the hard way.

They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

It didn't get very good reviews, however, and he is killed by [[Arrow'd Guy]].

The '''Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil''' (also known as '''SBASAF''' ''pronounced "sbace-aff"'') is [[Strong Badia]]'s [[space program]]. It is a definitely-for-profit organization dedicated to the manned taping of aluminum foil to cardboard.

== Fleet ==

SBASAF has a 30-vessel fleet, constructed of cardboardium alloy. Its flagship is known as '''[[The Proud Anselmo]]'''. The mission of SBASAF is to accompany 15 earth dollars on a round trip journey to the closest reaches of space. According to their vague understanding of the [[Wikipedia:Special relativity|theory of relativity]], the muscular crew will only age a few hours but the money will age to roughly $1 million (in the form of three gold bars).

== Crew ==
[[Image:Sbemail138.PNG|thumb|left|The Strap and Ltnrl. Captainface, battling mutant forces on the Satrianian front, with Ted Averill in the background.]]
'''First Lieuteneral Space Captainface''' is the leader of the two person crew, played by [[Strong Bad]]. The fleet's only mechanic appears to be '''Harold "Strap" Coopmore''' (aka '''The Strap'''), played by [[The Cheat]]. The on ground flight engineer is '''Ted Averill''', who smokes a smooth and relaxing [[Smoking|cigarette]]. He is played by the [[Tire]]. [[Strong Mad]] isn't part of the crew but aids in the adventures by supplying the shaking effects of launch. [[Homestar Runner]] unknowingly played a space "myoot-ant" from Satriani V.

They spent most of their budget on a kick-awesome logo and an orientation filmstrip featuring as many hot 60's looking girls as possible. They used the experimental $15 on a Sound F/X CD, which is operated by The Strap.

Floppy Disk Container

JohnnyWeird — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 16:46:59 GMT

JohnnyWeird:

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits to the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer. It shows the latest game he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in many of their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs appearances of the Floppy Disk Container, with screenshots, the toon or emails where it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about the game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games and mostly obscure ones from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which themselves have been mostly replaced by compact discs. 3.5 disks still survive by being rewritable, and are used for transferring very small files — though USB flash drives have not supplanted even this use.

There were also several font sizes, limited page layout options, and even the capability of sending files by modem to other computers running the Newsroom program, even if they weren't Apple II's. || [http://apple2history.org/museum/software_misc/newsroom.html Here] [http://apple2history.org/history/appy/aha85.html Here]

The game is a traditional adventure, with interesting James Bond-esque spy elements.

Marzipan

JohnnyWeird: /* Fun Facts */

{{charnav|Marzipan|marzy|Pom Pom|Coach Z}}
[[Image:NewestMarzipan.png|thumb|The only girl]]

{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|marzipan}}

== Biography ==
'''Marzipan''' is the only female character among the [[Characters|primary characters]] of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner universe]]. She is a tall and thin character, she wears her hair in a bright yellow ponytail, and she is almost always seen wearing a purple dress with white trim and gold buttons at the bottom. (In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]], she reveals that yellow is not her true hair color, suggesting that she dyes it.) Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not appear to have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]], but nevertheless she is able to pick up and handle objects and play the guitar. Marzipan is the only character voiced by [[Missy Palmer]].

Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship|girlfriend]], and early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their relationship no longer appears to be their main focus. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar several times, some of which were due to his unintentional mean streak, others so that she could demonstrate her independence. At times, Homestar even shows feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (when he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow"), and in [[Happy Fireworks]] (when he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells her to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all of this, she is very kind, and she is friends with almost everyone (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she [[marzipan|really doesn't like Strong Bad at all]].)

[[Image:Marzysign.png|thumb|left|"I'm off to the Chinchilla protest."]]
[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt." She is a strict vegetarian — she especially enjoys tofu and soy products — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes protest signs to express her views — among these are "[[Wikipedia:Chinchilla|Chinchillas]] OUT!! (of my basement)", "[[Decemberween|December Ween]] Kills Bunnies", and "Down with D'Ween".

[[Image:Marzycouchslouch.png|thumb|Marzipan relaxes]]
Marzipan has often been mistaken for a broom. Her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that she may actually be shaped like a broom. By contrast, the emails [[secret recipes]], [[date]] and [[secret identity]] all show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[highschool]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like Daphne from the Scooby-Doo cartoons, but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true.

Marzipan tends to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, her guitar's name is [[Carol]], and she once asked [[Strong Sad]] to resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] (in [[The Luau]]) and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] costume in the email [[do over#Easter Eggs|do over]]. She once named an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]" and started treating it as though it were a small child, and in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different forms, including a strange clone of herself. It is unclear if any of these behaviors reflect a desire to change, replace, or accept alternate versions of her boyfriend.

Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh yeah yeah]]", and she recently teamed up with The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque]]'' series of short films, and she once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make [[lady fan|an attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She also has hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z.

Although Marzipan currently wears a long dress that seems to fit her hippie lifestyle, Strong Bad's "doodle memory" shows us that, back in [[highschool|high school]], she had short hair and wore a very short skirt and lipstick.

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Oh Yeah Yeah!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Marzipan's Gazebo]]}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hi, I'm Marzipan, and this is my guitar Carol. Say hi, Carol. ''{performs a scale in E major}'' Ooh, E scale. Nice choice. When I'm not rockin' out, I like to dig in my garden and eat. I'm a fiercely independent woman, and I'm fiercely independent about the soy products that I choose. Homestar Runner and I ''{Homestar leans in frame}'' are one hot item when I say we are. And today we are (not).

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yay!/Boo! ''{leans out of frame}''

'''MARZIPAN''': I like baby animals, and cats and dogs. But it makes me sad to see cats and dogs in the same room together. Okay, bye. I'm off to the Chinchilla protest.
''{She pulls out a protest sign that reads "Chinchillas OUT!! (of my basement)" and walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{leaning in frame}'' Boo!/Yay! ''{leans out of frame}''

''(Sometimes Marzipan says "And today we are," to which Homestar responds "Yay!" and sometimes she says "And today we are not," in which case Homestar says "Boo!" Whichever response Homestar gives here, he gives the opposite at the end.)''

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:grinning marzipan.png|thumb|Yes, she does have teeth.]]
* The [[Old Characters Page]], now in the [[Museum|museum]], said Marzipan was The King of Town's daughter. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] have since reported in interviews (such as [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]]) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
*[[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight. Most marzipan is also flavored with [[Wikipedia:rosewater|rosewater]].
*In an interview with Wired magazine, Missy Palmer said that Marzipan started out as a hippie, but over time her personality has changed to match Missy's own.
*The character page title is a reference to Marzipan's [[Oh yeah yeah|song]] from the email [[marzipan]].

Kid Speedy

[[Image:kidspeedy.PNG|thumb|The slowest poke]]

''"Who's faster than Kid Speedy? EVERYBODY!! This little fatso is the slowest poke in the bunch. Try not to get dead last while avoiding sweets and insults in this hilarious arcade-style race 'em up."'' — Videlectrix

'''Kid Speedy''' is a game in which you play the character Kid Speedy, trying to win a race (or, at least, not come in last). The game was originally mentioned in the [[Videlectrix]] game catalog; it was made available for play on July 10, 2006.

'''Page Title:''' Don't Forget Your Inhaler!

==The Game==
[[Image:Kidspeedy intstructions.PNG|thumb|Instructions]]
To qualify for the next race, you must finish the four-man race third place or above. By collecting vegetables and happy faces, you make Kid Speedy go faster. Collecting junk food or [[Swears|swears]] causes Kid Speedy to lose all speed.
The player can race Kid Speedy on eight different courses: Jelly Woods Fun Run, Cheese Puff Hills, Porkchop Wilds 5K, Egg Mountain Minithon, Probate Flats Walk-a-thon, [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]], The Loop, and Demon's Rub Marathon. Each track has borders resembling the name (example: Cheese Puff Hills has orange borders).

The game consists of two modes: 1 Player and "Online Play". However, all of the runners, in both modes, are computer controlled. The loading online players screen is just for show.

If you do not finish dead last, you "Qualify". If you lose, you get the message "You Came Dead Last."

==The Ending==
[[Image:Kidspeedy ending.PNG|thumb|YOU GOT NOT DEAD LAST!]]
''{Three runners are standing on a stand, cheering. A blimp flies overhead reading "WIN!" The camera pans left to Kid Speedy, who is bouncing up and down.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{subtitled}'' CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GOT NOT DEAD LAST!

''{Kid Speedy walks off-screen to the left and enters a city scene. He is walking down a sidewalk beside a brick wall.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{subtitled}'' KID SPEEDY WON A 2 DOLLAR CONSOLATION PRIZE...

''{Kid Speedy enters a room with a woman and television set inside. Kid Speedy bounces up and down again. Kid Speedy's dialogue is in while subtitles while his mom's is black.}''

'''KID SPEEDY:''' ''{subtitled}'' MOM! I WON 2 BUCKS!

'''KID SPEEDY'S MOM:''' ''{subtitled}'' NOW WE HAVE ENOUGH TO GET THE ORPHANAGE ITS OPERATION!

'''KID SPEEDY'S MOM:''' ''{subtitled}'' HOORAY! 
'''KID SPEEDY:''' ''{simutaneously; subtitled}'' HOORAY!

''{A screen showing yellow, blown-up text "the end" appears.}''

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Kidspeedy strong sad mode.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad mode]]
===Explanations===
*The term "Race 'em up" is based on the more logically named term "Shoot 'em up".
*Kid Speedy is most likely a parody of "learning" computer games.
**Speed is earned by eating healthful foods, and lost by eating junk food.

===Trivia===
*Each race starts with the message "Ready! Set! Ok, now go."
*If you win the game, you unlock "Strong Sad Mode", where your character becomes {{Film|Strong Sad}}. However, during the ending scene, or in the losing sequence if you come dead last, your character will change back to Kid Speedy.
*When you play the last race, a group of runners pass you and your opponents very quickly.
[[Image:Kid speedy box art.PNG|thumb|Kid Speedy box art]]
*Currently, the box art for Kid Speedy reads "BOX ART UNAVAILABLE!".

===Glitches===
*On certain browsers (Such as Netscape Communicator 4.7) Kid Speedy's slowest opponent is absent. While getting second place is extremely difficult it's impossible to lose since he can rank no lower than third.

===Inside References===
*"NEB", a possible opponent in Online Mode, may be a reference to [[Nebulon]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Indiana" and "The Loop" levels are likely inspired by the the arcade racing game, [[Wikipedia:Cruis'n USA|Cruis'n USA]], which features Chicago and Indiana venues.
*"Wide Loading" (on the [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]]) is a reference to the "Wide Load" sign which appears on trucks carrying large items. It is also used as a slang term for "fat".
*On the flash file of Kid Speedy, there are three other runners to the left of the screen and they seem to be wearing colors of flags: [[Wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]] and [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]]. The other runner wears white, red, and green. This may be the flag of [[Wikipedia:Burundi|Burundi]], [[Wikipedia:Italy|Italy]], [[Wikipedia:Algeria|Algeria]], [[Wikipedia:Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], [[Wikipedia:Hungary|Hungary]], [[Wikipedia:Iran|Iran]], or [[Wikipedia:Oman|Oman]]. These runners are later seen in the ending.
*When Kid Speedy trips on the finish line, he does so in the same manner and sound as does the character in [[wikipedia:NES|NES's]] Track & Field I.
*The end sequence is a reference to the common movie theme of competing in a race or other competition to win money to either save an orphange, or pay for an operation. In this case, it was to pay for an operation FOR an orphanage.

===Possible Names in Online Mode===
*There are several possible names that you can get as opponents in Online Mode. Each three-letter name includes a number following their name, while four-letter names do not.
**BOB
**[[Dan|DAN]]
**[[Nebulon|NEB]]
**[[Wikipedia: Pogs|POG]]

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping to a beat}'' First you squish it, skew it, and turn it all around. Squish it, skew it, and turn it all around.

''{As he says this, the border disappears and the words are squished, skewed, and turned around. At the end, the words are at a slant.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then we need to make it all fast and slick and shiny like Flo Jo in a tuxedo.

''{The words curve, the tops of the letters become spikes pointing to the left, and they become all shiny.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping again}'' Uh! Flo Jo with a tuxedo!

''{The words react to the beat of his rap, various decorations litter the screen, and a circle with a slash through it appears behind the words.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now it's time to play Color Wheel Roulette. No Whammies, no Whammies.

''{The colors of the sign cycle through various schemes, finally ending up on the words being a dull yellow and the circle in the background turning a greenish tan, with the blank space in the middle turning brown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww... Ouch, man. Now, just when you think you're done, you gotta dip it in molten Plexiglas...

''{The entire sign becomes glossy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...to give it that "children under 3 are sure to choke on it" goodness.

''{With a "ding", sparkles appear on the logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Almost forgot the fangs.

''{With a roar, bloody fangs sprout from the logo.}''

''{Cut to The Cheat and Strong Bad, with a new-style iMac in front of The Cheat. The logo Strong Bad described is on the monitor.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I don't know how we're going to print it out, seeing as how somebody sliced off the back of your monitor. And quit rubbing that plastic bar of soap ''{indicating The Cheat's mouse}'' on the desk. You clearly don't have what it takes to bring NO LOAFING into the digital age.

''{The Cheat closes the window, and Strong Bad turns toward the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I does!

''{Cut back to the No Loafing sign}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from elementary school cafetoriums and lotto machines...

''{The No Loafing sign transforms into a cafeteria-style LED display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' comes one of those actually pretty hard to read message board signs.

''{"NO LOAFING" scrolls past, followed by a crawling worm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Capable of advanced animation, scrollabatonies...

''{The words "GRUEL IS COOL!" come in, with the individual pixels coming from opposite sides before meeting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and twelve levels of blinkiness.

''{"NO LOAFING" returns and the letters blink. Then the screen blinks and fireworks appear on the display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we can celebrate the lack of loafing with some fireworks! And a man doing cartwheels!

''{The fireworks disappear and a man doing cartwheels moves across the display. Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No mortal would ''dare'' loaf under the four-colored dotted digital stare of this bad boy! Y'know, unless they looked up too late, and the "No" had already scrolled off...

''{Scrolls up to the display just as the "N" in "NO LOAFING" scrolls off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so they thought that it said, "Do Loafing."

''{The words "DO LOAFING" scroll on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or maybe, like, Franklin Delano Loafing, our nation's laziest president.

''{The man doing cartwheels appears after "DO LOAFING", followed by "FRANKL" before the screen cuts back to Strong Bad's Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's enough loaf. As for the blue wall, if you're going to repaint anything, you might as well use that magic green screen paint that Hollywood still thinks looks good. Then the wall can be anything you want!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room, but with bright green walls instead of blue. Strong Bad happily skips in the middle of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Imagine being able to frolic through the bread aisle...

''{The wall - and Strong Bad's bright green eyes - are replaced with an image of a bread aisle at a supermarket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still a voiceover}'' ...without leaving the house!

''{Strong Bad turns toward the screen and leans against the wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, bread aisle! Warm me with your enriched, bleached bosom! And please, give me back my sight!

''{Cut to another part of the computer room with the same green paint. Strong Bad is sitting on the floor, looking at the wall, and holding a controller.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or play your favorite video games where the pixels are big as hams!

''{The wall becomes a video game called "Sundae Drivin'", which appears to involve a giant bowl of ice cream on wheels driving down the road collecting toppings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating a car's engine}'' Vrrrrrrrr! Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

''{The sundae-car collects a cherry, and "CHERRY GET" appears on the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Vrrrrrrrrrr! Watch out for the wet walnuts!

''{The sundae-car collides with a brown jar with a "W" on it and it explodes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwwwww!

''{The screen reads "Your James Over".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This game sucks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But what green screens are ''really'' for...

''{The screen cuts to Strong Bad, with a Roman-style spear, shield, and helmet, looking at the wall, which appears to be an island village with a "Claymation" cycloptic monster on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still a voiceover}'' ...is battling Claymation!

''{The monster steps forward and swipes in Strong Bad's direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It'll take more than karate pants to keep me from toilet-papering the temple of the gods!

''{Coach Z walks in. Where his bright green body overlaps the wall, the green screen's image appears over him. His usual "Z" medallion is replaced with a glossy curved medallion with fangs, resembling The Cheat's remake of the No Loafing sign.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad! Check it out! I squished it! And skewed it! And turned it all...

''{The medallion is squished, skewed, and turned around. Both Strong Bad and the monster run off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

'''COACH Z:''' ...a... round?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, forget it, Jamie. ''{said as "whay-whay"}'' If you're so bored with my style, here's a change for ya.

''{Cut to the laundry room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No, pan up!

''{The screen pans up to reveal a seashell-themed wallpaper near the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've put up this delightful ocean-themed border in the laundry room! Oh, and look!

''{The screen zooms in on the dials on the washing machine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've hot-glued some actual shells onto the knobs of the washer and dryer!

''{Cut back to show Strong Bad standing next to the washer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, that's our show. Join us next week when we show you how to knit your own splatter paints!

''{Cut back again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

''{A logo for "redesigning SBEMAILS, JERK FOOT" appears.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Ba-doo ba! Daaaah!

''{On "Daaaah!", the words "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" appear below. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
[[Image:No Loafing Marquee.png|thumb|The "New" No Loafing sign.]]
*The Lappy was covered in "LELLOWTAPE" because it had been nearly eight weeks (up to 55 days depending on when Strong Bad took the Lappy [[Weclome Back#transcript|skydiving]]) since the last email.
*[[wikipedia:Bluescreen|Greenscreens]] are used in filming in order to have an alternate background behind the live action. The solid color wall is digitally replaced by a chosen background. This technique is called Chroma-Key, and can actually be done with any color, though blue and green are the most popular. Strong Bad and Coach Z demonstrate one of the downsides to Chroma-Key: anything that's the same color as the the screen is also replaced by the background, meaning that Strong Bad's green eyes and Coach Z's green body vanish.
*The No Loafing Scrolling Sign is actually a [[Wikipedia:LED#LED_display_panels|scrolling LED marquee]] ''(Pictured)''.
*The Color Wheel Roulette's claim of '50% fewer deaths than Russian variety' refers to the practice of [[Wikipedia:Russian roulette|Russian roulette]], in which a single round is placed in a revolver, the cylinder is spun, and the gun is fired at oneself, taking the chance that the bullet will be shot. If we assume that a player dies when a bullet is shot, the odds for dying from Russian roulette (with a 6-shot revolver) in the first round are 1/6. This means that the odds for getting killed by playing Colour Wheel Roulette are 1/12.

===Trivia===
* This marks the first appearance of The Cheat's new computer (an [[Wikipedia:IMac#iMac G5|iMac G5]] or [[Wikipedia:IMac#iMac Core Duo|iMac Core Duo]]), replacing the "[[Tangerine Dreams]]" [[Wikipedia:IMac#iMac (Tray Loading) (aka iMac G3)|iMac G3]] he had previously.

===Inside References===
* "Scrollabatonies" was previously used in one of the [[Scroll Button Songs]].
*The box design for "Color Wheel Roulette Stupid Home Edition" is a reference to [[The Show#The Show! Stupid Home Edition|The Show! Stupid Home Edition]] from [[geddup noise]].
*When Strong Bad's game says "Your James Over" at the end, it echoes the [[Homsar Main Page]], where "games" was pronounced "james".

===Real World References===
*"Franklin Delano Loafing" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], the 32nd President of the United States. It's also another instance of [[Presidents]].
*"Flo-Jo" was a nickname for [[Wikipedia:Florence Griffith Joyner|Florence Griffith Joyner]], an American athlete.
*"No [[Wikipedia:Whammy (Press Your Luck)|Whammies]]" was commonly chanted by players on the game show [[Wikipedia:Press Your Luck|Press Your Luck]].
*"Redesigning SBemails" at the end is a reference to the many house redesign shows on channels such as [[Wikipedia:HGTV|HGTV]]. The bassline that accompanies this title graphic is a likely [[Wikipedia:parody|parody]] of the theme music to the show [[Wikipedia:Trading Spaces|Trading Spaces]]
*The "Cherry Get!" graphic that appears when Strong Bad is playing "[[Sundae Drivin']]" is a reference to many Japanese video games, in which "[Object] Get!" is commonly displayed whenever you collect an object. 
*The scene with the stop-motion cyclops is a mashup of [[Wikipedia:Ray Harryhausen|Ray Harryhausen]] movies, most notably of [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051337/ The 7th Voyage of Sinbad], where Sinbad fights an orange cyclops on the beach.

Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters

JohnnyWeird — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 14:35:26 GMT

JohnnyWeird: /* Painting of David Bowie */

Minor Characters from [[Thy Dungeonman]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]], and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]].

== [[Thy Dungeonman]] ==

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Image !! Description
|-
|[[Image:Flask in dungeonman 1.PNG|200px|Ye finds yeself in yon dungeon (again)]] ||
=====The Narrator=====
The Narrator appears in every single Thy Dungeonman. He instructs [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]] on his way, describes his surroundings (because there's no precious graphics to help him out, except in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]]), points out clues, and adds a sarcastic touch to the whole experience of playing. He always asks what Thy Dungeonman wouldst deau in whatever situation Thy Dungeonman happens to find himself in, though many things Thy Dungeonman tells him do not computeth. Though he only claims to speak [[Wikipedia:Old English language|Old English]] (and specifically not Spanish or "Idiot" language), he occasionally slips and will speak in Modern-day English, however, he corrects himself most of the time if he does slip. Arguably the same narrator from [[Peasant's Quest]] and [[E-mail Birds|Text Quest]].
 
|-
| [[Image:Ye_arrive_at_dennis.PNG|200px|I want me one o' them Jimberjams!]] ||
=====Dennis=====
''See main article: [[Dennis]]''

[[Dennis]], in Thy Dungeonman, is two things: a direction (or "obvious exit") and an actual person. The direction can only be accessed from the main dungeon. Its opposite direction is "not Dennis". Dennis the actual person wears a sporty frock coat and a long "jimberjam" and enjoys pacing around nervously. Thy Dungeonman thinks Dennis is boring in conversation. It is necessary to give Dennis a trinket in order to complete the game.
 
|-
| [[Image:Alas_enchanted_rope.PNG|200px|What are parapets, anyway?]] ||
=====Rope=====
Rope is a deadly enchanted [[Wikipedia:Rope|rope]] that glows a mustard-red and smells like a public privy. Thy Dungeonman has seen better rope. Rope disguises itself as an obtainable item that will kill Thy Dungeonman if he attempts to "GET ROPE". It is probably the danger that the scroll refers to when it says "BEWARE, READER OF THE SCROLL, DANGER AWAITS TO THE-". While the scroll disappears in Thy Dungeonman's hands with ye olde zap before he could finish reading it, it probably would have said NORTH, where the rope is located.

|-
|[[Image:David bowie thydungeonman2.PNG|200px|Ghost in the Tin Machine]] ||
=====Painting of David Bowie=====
A [[Wikipedia:Painting|Painting]] of [[Wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]] appears in Custodial Magistrate Ripberger's office. In it, David Bowie is shaking hands with [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Custodial Magistrate Ripberger|Magistrate Ripberger]]. The painting sits alongside pictures of Magistrate Ripberger shaking hands with other famous people, such as [[Wikipedia:King Arthur|King Arthur]] and King Graham (King Graham, the protagonist of most of the ''[[Wikipedia: King's Quest|King's Quest]]'' series, is fictional and may be the ruler of Thy Dungeonman's world). The painting shows David Bowie during the [[Wikipedia:Tin Machine|Tin Machine]] era. Thy Dungeonman himself is more of a [[Wikipedia:The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars|Ziggy Stardust]] fan. While originally it says that it is a painting, the narrator later says "that picture was taken during...", referring to it as though it were a [[Wikipedia:Photograph|photograph]]. Perhaps it was a photograph of a painting?
 
|-
|[[Image:Magistrate_ripberger.PNG|200px|Not the one in red pajamas]] ||

=====Custodial Magistrate Ripberger=====
Custodial [[Wikipedia:Magistrate|Magistrate]] Ripberger is the head of thy Dungeon and Thy Dungeonman's boss. His office is southwest of Thy Dungeonman's cell. It features many impressive pictures of him with famous people ([[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Painting of David Bow|see above]]). It also has a conspicuous [[Wikipedia:Drawer|drawer]] that is locked and can only be opened by a [[Wikipedia:Key (lock)|key]] located inside a [[Wikipedia:Chamber pot|chamberpot]]. Inside the drawer is a map. Once Thy Dungeonman leaves with the map, he encounters Magistrate Ripberger, who asks suspiciously "What art thou doing, n?". Thy Dungeonman waffles his way out of this situation by using "talk magistrate", or muttering "Gumble-duh. Dumble?", to which Ripberger responds "Very well. Carry on." If you do anything but "talk magistrate" the narrator will simply say "Not now! This ist serious!"

His name is reused for the [[Cheat Commandos|Cheat Commando]] [[Ripberger]].
 
|-
|[[Image:Percy.PNG|200px|What a cruel king.]] ||
=====Percy=====
Percy is a [[Wikipedia:Rat|rat]] in the employ of the crown. His job is to give the [[Wikipedia:Bubonic Plague|Bubonic Plague]] to any who pass North of him into the maze. He is considered sizeable (sic), but is just smaller than a chamberpot. He looks at Thy Dungeonman blankly until Thy Dungeonman discovers his name by reading his nametag. He thinks Thy Dungeonman's loin-cheese cloth is nice, which is rather creepy. If Thy Dungeonman passes North of Percy (which he must do to complete the game) Percy will bite him and say "This might kill ye a little", thus infecting Thy Dungeonman with Bubonic Plague. He then slams and locks the door behind Thy Dungeonman.

There is a [[Wikipedia:Charcoal|charcoal]] painting of him later in the game, which the [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Dongrel|Dongrel]] is allergic to. After Thy Dungeonman kills the Dongrel Percy returns, angry at Thy Dungeonman for stealing one of his jokes (this might kill ye a little), which he claims is his stale bread and curdled butter and what everyone knows him for. However, Percy dies when he leaps into scalding waters after Thy Dungeonman's (delicious to him) loin-cheese cloth.
 
|-
|[[Image:Mongrel.PNG|200px|These are expert grobbers he's dealing with here]] ||
=====Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels=====
''See main article: [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels]]''

Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels are monsters that occupy the maze. They will kill Thy Dungeonman if he does not have a mop to defend himself with. To kill them, Thy Dungeonman must swing his mop either low, high, or "middlin" (or middle), depending on the monster. Each monster must be struck in a location that corresponds to the first letter of its name ('''l'''ow for '''L'''ongrels, '''h'''igh for '''H'''ongrels, and '''m'''iddlin for '''M'''ongrels) .
|-
|[[Image:Sous_chef.PNG|200px|'Tis not but a crafty disguise]] ||
=====Sous-Chef=====
The Sous-Chef is merely a disguise of the [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Dongrel|Dongrel]]. In this disguise, the Dongrel tends to and sloppily mashes up [[Wikipedia:Root vegetable|root vegetables]]. He repeatedly spits and scratches his dandruff into the vegetables. They also have long grody hairs in them. Thy Dungeonman makes a note to himself to never order the root vegetables.
 
''See Also: [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Dongrel|Dongrel]]''
|-
|[[Image:Saw_doctor.PNG|200px|"Nothin takes a rotten plague off like Craftsman!" ]] ||

===== Saw Doctor =====
The Saw Doctor resides in the infirmary. He is very busy, but will treat patients who cannot wait. Patients who choose to wait will die waiting and listening to last year's minstrel hits from such bands as [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Sir Lance and the Lots|Sir Lance and the Lots]]. After treating patients by sawing off their plague and mashing a ball of leeches onto the wounds, he gives them a sucker that causes severe explosion of the head if eaten by Dongrels or children under 2. A sign in the infirmary reads "Ask thy doctor about CRAFTSMAN TOOLS", which is apparently a brand of tools. If asked, the doctor replies "Nothin takes a rotten leg off like Craftsman!" and a little jingle plays.
|-
|[[Image:The_healer.PNG|200px|Yes or no!]] ||
===== Healer and the Sitar-playing Satyr=====
The Healer, or "[[Wikipedia:Homeopathy|Homeopathic]] [[Wikipedia:Pathology|Pathologist]]", will kill Thy Dungeonman of endless questioning. Examples of her questions are "Is love in thy heart?", "Are you finding satisfaction at work?", "Any unwanted stress in your life?", "Getting enough iron?", "Do you find yourself quaffing mead alone and often?", and "Aggle phibble stroo?". She constantly rubs oil and powder onto a statue for an unknown reason, eats flowers, and smells either like fruity dirt or dirty fruit.

The Healer is accompanied by a [[Wikipedia:Sitar|sitar]]-playing [[Wikipedia:Satyr|satyr]].
|-

Sir Lance and the Lots is a [[Wikipedia:Minstrel|minstrel]] band. They, apparently, broke up and then reformed. Thy Dungeonman doesn't know why they didn't just stay broken up (he obviously doesn't like them). Their music plays in the Saw Doctor's waiting room. Their name is a play on the name "[[Wikipedia:Sir Lancelot|Sir Lancelot]]", specifically [[Wikipedia:Lancelot|Lancelot]], one of King Arthur's knights of the round table.
|-
|[[Image:Dongrel.PNG|Ye never got that emerald bauble-encrusted brooch bracelet...]] ||

=====Dongrel=====
''See main article: [[Dongrel]]''

In Thy Dungeonman II, it turns out that the Sous-Chef is really just a Dongrel in disguise. It is allergic to charcoal dust, which causes him to rear back, pimper, and sneeze. Also, if a Dongrel (or child under 2) eats the sucker that Thy Dungeonman is given by the Doctor then severe explosion of the head may occur in a large "THY DOOOOOOOOSSHHJGHJHJHH!!" The final way of killing the Dongrel is simply "kill chef" before it turns around to reveal that it's a dongrel. The Dongrel died with an emerald, bauble-encrusted brooch bracelet clutched in its claws.

In Thy Dungeonman 3, A dead Dongrel (pictured) appears in the first dungeon Thy Dungeonman finds himself. Thy Dungeonman takes advantage of the Dongrel's sharp claws and uses them to free himself from his restraints.
|-
|[[Image:King_and_ogletree.PNG|200px|... Thanks to Interruptor Jones here]] ||
=====The King and The Fair Maiden Ogletree=====
The King (who may or may not be the aforementioned King Graham) congratualtes (sic) Thy Dungeonman for his varied accomplishments throughout Thy Dungeonman II, including escaping the restrictive restraints of the royal sewer and his clothes. He judges Thy Dungeonman worthy of taking his daughter, [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#The Fair Maiden Ogletree|The Fair Maiden Ogletree]], to the Enchantment under the Parapets dance.

The Fair Maiden Ogletree is The King's daughter. She goes out with Thy Dungeonman to the Enchantment under the Parapets dance, though it is not known whether or not she actually wants to or not.

|-
|[[Image:Annoying_whiner_bird.PNG|200px|A deadly combination of annoyance, whining, morbling, and ganching]] ||
=====Annoying Whiner Bird=====
The Annoying Whiner Bird is, appropriately, an annoying, ugly bird that resides just south of the Monastery. It sits upon a rock morbling and ganching (Thy Dungeonman can take the morbling, but its the ganching that really cheeses him off). Thy Dungeonman cannot communicate with the bird because his morbling rusty and he hasn't ganched since he was but a pimple-faced dungeonteen. Thy Dungeonman can't stand the constant annoying noise created by the bird, but if he tries to kill the bird then the bird will peck his eyes out and kill him.

Later in the game Thy Dungeonman befriends the bird by giving it corn. The bird immediately stops its whining, hops into Thy Dungeonman's hand and nibbles corn out of his ear (why he put corn in his ear we'll never know). The bird helps Thy Dungeonman defeat the troll
 
|-
| [[Image:Fat_monk.PNG|200px|The size of several monks for the price of one!]] ||
=====Fat, Fat Friar=====
The [[Wikipedia:Friar|Fat, Fat Friar]] (a.k.a. Lord Round Mound, ol' Fatmonk McMunchalot or simply "a Monk") is a massively obese robed monk. He lives in the "Fatmonk Monastery" and is first seen eating a glazed ham at a small table beside a large cauldron within the monastery. He is so fat that Thy Dungeonman originally mistakes him for a group of robed monks. Thy Dungeonman also originally mistakes him for a nice man, which is false. In fact, if Thy Dungeonman takes the Friar's Stein then the Monk will club Thy Dungeonman's head with a "mutton chop" and then try to cook and [[Wikipedia:Cannibalism|eat him]]. This is not because Thy Dungeonman took the stein, however; doing so only triggers the event to happen, evident because the Friar did not take back his stein. The real reason that the monk tries to eat Thy Dungeonman is because "Foodstuffs art scarce these days", though this statement contradicts that the Friar was just eating a large glazed ham. Thy Dungeonman is able to escape simply by going south. After the Friar tries to eat him Thy Dungeonman thinks that he is a total jerk and "yuck". If Thy Dungeonman is stupid enough to return north to the monastery then he will surely die.
 
|-
|[[Image:Log.PNG|200px|'Tis not but a log]] ||
=====Log=====
The [[Wikipedia:Timber|log]] occupies the thickly thuckled woods. It is hollowed out "like in a kid's story or something". Within it is a bag of coins. Thy Dungeonman cannot pick it up and trying to do so only brings him painful memories of finishing last in the [[Original Book|Worlds Strongest Dungeonman contest]]. The log somehow follows Thy Dungeonman as he becomes evermore lost in the wood, and even becomes "freaked out" when Thy Dungeonman goes too far into the woods. Later when Thy Dungeonman has the map he can easily bypass the log and move on to the next plot element, [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Hag|Hag]].
 
|-
| [[Image:Vegetable_cart_man.PNG|200px|An intelligent-looking young man if ever there was one]] ||

=====Vegetable Cart Man=====
The Vegetable Cart Man ("veggie cart dude" or "VCD" for short) sells "vegetable cart vegetables", corn, at his vegetable cart on the overlook that overlooks the village of Westerburg. He looks like the type of dude who would follow around traveling minstrels (perhaps Sir Lance and the Lotts), sleep in his cart, and sell rotten vegetables to teenagers for [[Wikipedia:Kerosene|kerosene]] money. The Narrator momentarily slips by saying "[[Wikipedia:Gasoline|gas]] money" instead of kerosene money. He has seen the dungeon Thy Dungeonman was in during the beginning of the game and refers to it as an "intense, crush-ye-with-spikes" type of dungeon. He exchanges his (dried) corn for bags of coins, which is called "[[Wikipedia:Commerce|commerce]] at work". After selling corn to Thy Dungeonman he remarks "Here you go", then something odd such as "magick happens" or "kill your scrolls".
 
|-
| [[Image:Barkeep.PNG|200px|Westerburg's premier server of Mongrel Pee]] ||

=====Pub Barkeep=====
Pub Barkeep runs an unpopular [[Wikipedia:Pub|pub]] in Westerburg that is almost always empty save for himself. He looks like a "goode" enough barkeep, though he is not a very goode customerkeep. His pub is unpopular because all of his old customers stole all of his steins and left to drink at the Northern Tavern. Nowadays steins are so scarce for him that anyone with their own gets a free drink. He serves disgusting looking liquid which is almost certainly [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|Mongrel]] pee. The liquid is stored in a large keg. When asked if he's seen any good dungeons lately he will look around the pub shiftily (although the pub is empty) and mentions that Thy Dungeonman (whom he calls "love", seriously freaking Thy Dungeonman out) should talk to a man named [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Kigalonian|Kigalonian]] who resides in the Tavern. If Thy Dungeonman tries to kill him he will be met by Pub Barkeep's more successful attempts at killing him with a rusty hook.

His pub features 3 shelves, 6 empty bottles on the top shelf (that apparently have not yet been collected by [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#The Recyckling Mage|The Recyckling Mage]]), 7 items that look like tea cups on the second shelf, 3 other items on the lowest shelf, and a large keg marked XXX that Thy Dungeonman hopes is full of Mead Ice.
 
|-
| [[Image:Empty_bottles.PNG|200px|All Empties]] ||
=====The Recyckling Mage=====
The Recyckling Mage is the [[Wikipedia:Recycling|recycle]] collector for the town of Westerburg (and possibly Thy whole Dungeonworld) who may or may not actually exist. If he does exist, then he hadn't been by the Barkeep's pub yet the week Thy Dungeonman visited (if ever) to collect the Barkeep's empty bottles (pictured). He is only mentioned and is never actually seen and cannot be interacted with.
 
|-
| [[Image:The_toughs.PNG|200px|A slew of Toughs]] ||
=====The Toughs=====
The Toughs are an unsavory-looking lot of fellows who hang out in the Non-pub Tavern. You cannot talk to all the Toughs at once. [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Kigalonian|Kigalonian]] is the name of all or at least almost all of the Toughs, and the specific Kigalonian Thy Dungeonman wants to speak to must be picked out of 6 different Toughs based upon the description given to Thy Dungeonman by the Barkeep. If Thy Dungeonman speaks to the wrong "gruff tough" then the Tough will proceed to kill him.

=====Kigalonian=====
Kigalonian (Kiga for short) is a popular name in Westerburg, specifically at the Tavern. He is one of the toughs, along with at least 6 other Toughs named Kigalonian. Each Tough has a combination of two of the features pictured at right. He can be identified based on the description given to Thy Dungeonman by Pub Barkeep. If the correct Kigalonian is identified he will give you a map that he previously used to clean his chamber pot. The map allows you to meet [[Minor Thy Dungeonman Characters#Hag|Hag]].

=====Disgruntled Cleaning Guy=====
The Disgruntled Cleaning Guy (a.k.a. Disgruntor the Cleaninator) works at the Ye Olde Sandwich Shoppe, Westerburg's local poultry sandwich shoppe. Although he is the Disgruntled Cleaning Guy, he is not cleaning when Thy Dungeonman comes by (though he is, indeed, not gruntled). The shoppe he works at is closed on "Todays" (which is, apparently, a day of the week in Thy Dungeonman's world), but The Disgruntled Cleaning Guy promises to serve customers if they know exactly what they want. The Disgruntled Cleaning Guy does not make good on his promise; he can't give a sandwich and says he an only give you condiments, but even then he will not give you turkey leg grease, one of the two condiments, and will only give you blood/fake ketchup.
 
|-
| [[Image:Empty_street.PNG|200px| ]] ||

=====PERSON=====
PERSON is someone who does not occupy the empty street that is east of ''Ye Olde Sandwich Shoppe''. Empty Street is a black-as-pitch street that does not continue EAST where there are no FLYERS on the GROUND, nor anything else for that matter. However, some words are still in CAPITAL LETTERS, which the narrator notes are there to draw your attention to important objects. You cannot talk to PERSON, because he is not there. The narrator later corrects itself and admits that technically, Thy Dungeonman is there, so there is indeed a PERSON there.

=====Hag=====
[[Wikipedia:Hag|Hag]] is an ancient, bearded [[Wikipedia:Widow|widow]] who spends her days sitting on a stump ferngullying, landbeforetiming, and mumbling about a dungeon to herself beside a large open scrapbook entitled "Cramforth and Hag Memories". She is at least 114 and smells of "rat liqueur (sic)". She once had a husband named Cramforth who died of a bloody head. Thy Dungeonman can charade as her husband by pouring blood/fake ketchup on his head and answering several personal questions she asks, the answers to which are in her scrapbook. Once he does so she will give him a flask-getting glove, which Cramforth forgot to wear when trying to destroy the rogue dungeon. She thinks Thy Dungeonman is hot.
 
|-
|<center> [[Image:Cramforth_scrapbook.PNG|75px|I remember the times...]] ||
=====Cramforth=====
Cramforth was Hag's husband before he [[Death|died]] of a bloody head on his way to vanquish the "rogue dungeon". Little is known about him other than what is in the scrapbook and what is said of him by Hag. He and Hag once went on a Honeymoon together once in either Wensleydire, Rottenscab, Blood Area, or [[Wikipedia:Zork|Zork]] (Zork was one of the first text adventure games). The present he gave Hag for her 114th birthday is either a Toad, an eyeball, an N64 paddle, or a commemorative mug. He and Hag also had anywhere from 1-4 wee hags. Thy Dungeonman is able to disguise himself as Cramforth by applying blood to his head and answering questions based on the above information.
 
|-
| [[Image:Wee_hags.PNG|200px|They grew up so fast.]] ||
=====Wee Hags=====
Wee Hags are the offspring of Hag and Cramforth. Their numbers range from anywhere between one and four. They are only seen in picture form in Hag's scrapbook and it is unknown where they are in the present day.
 
|-
| [[Image:Troll.PNG|200px|The same bone from yon dungeon? We'll never know.]] ||
=====Troll=====
The [[Wikipedia:Troll|Troll]] is a hideous, snarling beast that will pummel and "kracka" the skull anyone who tries to path South of him to [[The Stone Bridge]]. He hates any kind of ganching, whether from Thy Dungeonman or the bird, and is apparently a "ganchaphobe". The bird can easily defeat the Troll, proceeding to peck and ganch at him until he screams "AGH! My style!" and falls into the stream, drowning instantly. He wears a hideous wig.

Made-Up Strong Bad Animals

JohnnyWeird — Sat, 01 Jul 2006 17:52:35 GMT

JohnnyWeird: /* Da Huuuuuudge */

'''Made-Up Strong Bad Animals''' are creatures that [[Strong Bad]] imagines himself as in the email "[[animal]]." These were abandoned concepts, as Strong Bad eventually settles on [[Sterrance]].

==Monstrosity==
[[Image:Monstrosity_Strong_Bad.png|thumb|"I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?"]]
The first animal Strong Bad imagines himself as. It has:
*Claws
*Horns
*Tusks
*Tentacles
*Proboscis
*Segmented Eyes
Although Strong Bad mentions these, it doesn't appear to have:
*Power Doors
*15 Year Drivetrain Warranty

Monstrosity bubbles a green froth when it tries to speak due to its [[Wikipedia:Proboscis|proboscis]].

(Technically, Monstrosity is depicted with [[Wikipedia:Antler|antlers]] rather than [[Wikipedia:Horn_%28anatomy%29|horns]]. Also, the eyes are really called [[Wikipedia:Compound eye|compound eyes]], not segmented eyes as Strong Bad calls them.)
{{clear}}
==Deep Sea Fangly Fish==
[[Image:Deep_sea_fangly_fish.png|thumb|There's always a bigger fish]]
The second attempt at a Strong Bad animal is rendered in [[Powered by The Cheat]] style. It comes fully equipped with Christmas lights all over, and a back deck (for dinner and dancing). Strong Bad originally envisioned himself dancing with [[Baby Styles]] on this back deck, until he realized that he was already the fangly fish. Instead of a dangling bioluminescent light, its lure is a [[Homestar Runner]] head. Somehow, the lure seems to be the brains of this operation, though it is only as articulate as one would expect from a Powered by The Cheat Homestar Runner. This is designed after a species of [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]].
{{clear}}
==Da Huuuuuudge==
[[Image:Da_Huuuuuudge.png|thumb|"Oh, wow! Look at Da Huuuuuudge!"]]
After Strong Bad decided he's been overthinking ideas for his animal, Strong Bad envisioned Da Huuuuuudge. With this animal he tries to let the name dictate what the animal will look like. As a result, it looks like a blob. Specifically, it looks like a big yellow bubbling blob with a Strong Bad face on it. It also sports some [[The Cheat|The Cheat-like]] spots. [[Marzipan]] seems to be intrigued. Apparently only one of the six consecutive U's in the creature's name needs to be pronounced. It lives in [[Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure|what appears to be a zoo]].

Although he was a rejected imaginary animal, he makes a reappearance along with the other Strong Bad variations in [[alternate universe]], which none of the other made-up Strong Bad animals do (besides Sterrence). He is apparently able to support Strong Bad's weight, and, somewhat unexpectedly, has a very high singing voice.
{{clear}}

==The Red Steckled Elbermung==
[[Image:The_Red_Steckled_Elbermung.png|thumb|"No, no, no"]]
This is a red gastropod-like animal with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips, displayed as an illustration in a children's book. As Strong Bad reconsiders the creature, it is accompanied by targeted captions shooting down its salient features with a "no".
{{clear}}

==El Pardack==
[[Image:pardack.png|thumb|A nasty blob thing.]]
This is a stodgy creature with one arm a mix between Strong Bad's and [[Senor Cardgage|Senor Cardgage's]]. Its other arm is a [[Soolnds|soolnd]]. It says "What the!", as Strong Bad dismisses it as a "nasty blob thing".
{{clear}}
==Stnank and Grumberto==
[[Image:stnank_and_grumberto.PNG|thumb|Two unused creations. Poor guys.]]
Two animals that were to be used in animal, but didn't make it.

The name "Stnank" was eventually used in the email [[do over]], though it was not used as any kind of made-up animal. Strong Bad made up the word to describe a mild mistake that would be worthy of re-doing.
{{clear}}
==Sterrance==

StrongBadZone

JohnnyWeird — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 17:26:09 GMT

JohnnyWeird:

{{gamenav|New Game|sbzone|Stinkoman 20X6|Thy Dungeonman}}

[[Image:StrongBadZone.PNG|thumb|220px|"YOUR HEAD A SPLODE!"]]
[[Image:strongbadzonebox.PNG|thumb|220px|"BACK OFF BABY"]]
'''StrongBadZone''' is a vector graphics game that plays similarly to the Diamonds 3D game for the [[Wikipedia:Personal computer|PC]] and Mac. You are a spikey-headed cyber-shield guy (with a cyber-shield) trying to block "devastating 3D attacks" that come flipping toward you. If you hit them, they bounce back. The object of the game is to try to hit {{Film|Vector Strong Bad}}'s head until it disappears. The game's graphical style appears to be a reference to Nintendo's ill-fated 3D system, the [[Wikipedia:Virtual_Boy|Virtual Boy]]. The graphics of the console were well-known for solely consisting of the colors red and black, much like those in StrongBadZone. In particular, the game stylistically resembles the Virtual Boy vector game [[Wikipedia:Red Alarm|Red Alarm]], which at one point also features a large face that must be destroyed. StrongBadZone first appeared as a joke in the [[Strong Bad Email]]: [[video games]], and is the source of the quote, ''"Your head a splode!"'' (and variants such as ''"Your phone a splode!"'', ''"Well, my head a splode!"'').

This game can be accessed from the email "[[video games]]," as well as the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]].

'''Note:''' You actually can't win or lose this game. When your head a splodes, you just continue the game. And when you destroy Strong Bad's head, a new one appears.

'''Page Title:''' I Strong Bad! I hunger!

== Instructions ==
<pre>Move left and right with arrow keys
Hit 'A' for shield left
Hit 'S' for shield center
Hit 'D' for shield right
Try to hit Strong Bad's big head
Click to start</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
* An otherwise unused sequence of "BACK OFF BABY" is found at the end of the Flash file. It can be seen using a [http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar].
** On some systems it can be heard by right-clicking on the game and leaving the menu up when Vector Strong Bad says "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE", then waiting a couple seconds.
** It appears, through use of a Flash decompiler, that this clip was intended to be played when you defeated Strong Bad, before the game reset, but a typo in the code causes this to not work.
*If you and strongbad's big head are positioned right, right-clicking the screen and pressing the PLAY button or the BACK button (on the flash file version of the game) will result in you and strongbad's big head 'freezing' but the object thrown at you will continue to bounce off of your shield and procede to hit strongbad's big head, eventually killing him and making a new head appear. But when you press play again, if the object bounced off of you at all it will make 'your head a splode' and bring you back up as though you had been hit.

=== Glitches ===
* Very rarely, when Strong Bad's attack hits his wall, Strong Bad will speed up greatly for a few seconds and then return to normal speed, but the projectile will be stuck in the back of the room moving back and forth.
* Another glitch involves the projectile apparently hitting the left wall but behaving as though it has hit the back wall. If you deflect the projectile, it will move along the exact line it came at you and will continue to do so for as long as the file is loaded (it cannot be fixed no matter which direction you raise the shield or whether you dodge the projectile or allow your head to a splode).

=== Inside References ===
*The page title "I Strong Bad, I Hunger" is similar to the page titles of [[RhinoFeeder]] ("I Rhino, I Hunger") and [[Thy Dungeonman]] ("Thy Dungeonman, Thy Hunger"). ''(also see Real-World References)''

=== Real-World References ===
* The page title is a possible reference to the old arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Sinistar|Sinistar]]''. In Sinistar you battled a large spaceship shaped like a head that would say, "I hunger!". ''(also see Inside References)''

Mrs. Commanderson

[[Image:Mrs Commanderson with Cheat Commandos.png|right|thumb|181px|She's some kind of bird-reptile, and she teaches Pre-K.]]

'''Mrs. Command[[Names ending in -erson|erson]]''' is some kind of bird/reptile that teaches Pre-K. She taught the [[Teen Girl Squad]] when they were the ''Teeny Tiny Girl Squad''. In an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|TGS 7]] it is suggested that Mrs. Commanderson is also a member of the [[Cheat Commandos]]. Judging from her clawed wings, rows of teeth, and the length of her neck and tail, Mrs. Commanderson is a particularly large [[Wikipedia:Archaeopteryx|Archaeopteryx]]. Her feathers are bright rainbow colored. She also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. Mrs. Commanderson does not have a Cheat Commandos action figure, but considering she may or may not even exist, this is hardly surprising.

Blue Laser Commander

[[Image:BL_Commander.PNG|thumb|right|220px|"CRUSH THE CHEAT COMMANDOS!"]]
[[Image:20050602_weekly_sketchbook_blue_laser_ungurait.PNG|thumb|right|220px|CRUSH THE CHEAT COMMANDOS?]]

The '''Blue Laser Commander''' is the evil mastermind behind [[Blue Laser]], an evil terrorist-type organization. His sworn enemies are the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He formulates many [[Blue Laser#Evil Schemes|evil schemes]] in a constant attempt to crush the Cheat Commandos, to no avail. He has a high-pitched, screechy British accent. The only differences between his uniform and that of his [[Blue Laser Minion|minions]] are that his patches are red while the minions' patches are blue, and that he lacks a visor. He instead has an eye patch that switches sides whenever he turns around, due to the fact that ''Cheat Commandos'' is just a poorly animated 30-minute commercial disguised as a cartoon.

He is well disposed to extreme exclaimations of joy or frustration, to wit: "FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!", "Well that's JUST GREAT!!", "I just hate you SO MUCH!", "WHAT THE CRAP?!?!", and [[Shopping for Danger|"Old ladies SUCK!"]]

Blue Laser Commander is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Cobra Commander|Cobra Commander]] (as the Cheat Commandos are a takeoff of [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe|G.I.Joe]]), especially the following traits:
*His partially obscured face covering some kind of blemish
*His uniform that is similar yet distinct from his henchmen
*His screechy voice
*His volatile, psychotic temperament

According to one [[Sketchbook]] update, Blue Laser Commander (or possibly every member of Blue Laser) was originally going to be an [[Rejected Characters#The Unguraits|Ungurait]], but that idea was abandoned.

The Blue Laser Commander is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos [[Store Toys|figurine set]].

'''EVERYBODY:''' Yay! Yeah!

'''SILENT RIP:''' All right! PG-13!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, ''{He flicks the lights back on.}'' I'm afraid lights-out for you is at oh-now hundred hours!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, all that cuss-language might give you nightmares. Ah-ha ha ha.

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can handle it, why I can even swear a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits.

'''OTHER COMMANDOS:''' ''{unrestrained laughter}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can't do anything right. I might as well go home and get teen pregnant.

''{The other commandos gasp, the Blue Las-Alert siren sounds once.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Easy there, Cheat Cuss-mando, you just made an inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior!

'''REYNOLD:''' A whaaa?

''{cut to the black and white Commandos in the Classroom logo, which looks like Reynold in a mortarboard cap pointing a pointer at an A+}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the Classroom!

''{Cut to another black-and-white slide that reads "LESSON 4: INAPPROPRIATE PEER-2-TEEN CHOICE BEHAVIORS". At the bottom in fine print it reads "*TEACHERS, USE THIS TIME TO CATCH A NAP OR HAVE A SMOKE."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Lesson four: Inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold in Cheat Commandos HQ}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Here, Reynold, lemme show you.

''{Gunhaver points the remote at the screen, which shows two ponies fighting in a field for a moment, then snows out to a diagram of a person's head showing the brain. The other commandos cheer for a second, then groan as the scene changes.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I was watchin' the ponies...

'''GUNHAVER:''' The brain is divided into two halves:

''{The brain in the diagram gets a jagged line down the middle}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' —the good half—

''{A dotted line points to the left half saying "GOOD HALF"}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' —and the evil half.

''{A dotted line points to the right half saying "EVIL HALF.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' The good half likes positive things, like Self-Esteem, ''{the word "Self-Esteem" appears in the middle of the screen and moves through the mouth into the "good" half of the brain.}'' Oreo Cheesecake, ''{again, the words appear and move through the mouth and up into the brain}'' Bringing Your Old Man a Cold One, ''{again, then cut to a close-up of Gunhaver}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' —and all our playsets and toys.

''{Gunhaver smiles a big grin toward the camera. Cut back to the diagram.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' But the evil half likes—

''{as each of the next four words is said, it appears from the "evil" half of the brain and moves to the right side of the screen}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Littering! Loitering! Latering! Lootering! And all the other stuff that causes inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{The other words vanish and are replaced by "Inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors". Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But how do ''I'' keep from making peer-to-teen choice awards, Gunhaver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' If you find yourself in a sticky ''{makes "finger quotes"}'' teenage situation, just remember these three pro-positive life tools:

''{Cut to Silent Rip in a classroom, next to a Blue Laser minion. Both appear to be taking tests.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' What did you get for number four, sir?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uhhhh...

''{Gunhaver suddenly enters the screen from the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Freeze!''

''{The screen cuts to a diagram of a male body with "PRO-POSITIVE LIFE TOOL" written next to it, and a giant "#1" appears next to it.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Pro-positive life tool number one:

''{Gunhaver appears on the screen}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' say you have one of any debilitating gold rush era diseases!

''{He pulls out a book labeled "BIG BOOK OF DEBILITATING GOLD RUSH ERA DISEASES", and "BBODGRED" on the spine. Cut back to the classroom.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Come on, man. I thought we were bros!

'''SILENT RIP:''' I can't! I have the typhoid! Or the cholera!

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Never mind. Your answers are gross, bro.

''{Silent Rip smiles. Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold, the latter of whom is now wearing a false beard and a prospector's hat, and is holding a mining pick.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Gold rush era diseases, eh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to the supermarket, where two Blue Laser Minions are holding a lot of bottles labeled "WINE COOLA," some of them in their pants, and Fightgar is standing nearby.}''

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Hey, man. We need you to put these wine coolers down your pants... er, down your headband.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Oh, um, uh...

''{Again, Gunhaver suddenly jumps onto the screen.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''STOP!''

''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a woman's body. "#2" appears on the side and "EN SAP" at the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Pro-positive life tool numero two:

''{silhouettes of the two Blue Laser minions and Gunhaver appear with question marks over them. The minions are labeled "INAPPROPRIATORS"}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Envision your Inappropriators ''{Gunhaver is labeled "STILL JUST YOU" and the minions turn into pizza slices.}'' as giant slices of pizza.

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

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ah-ha ha ha! You're deep-dish! Ah-ha ha! And you've got extra cheese! Ah-ha ha ha ha! Oh, pepperoni!

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' What's with this guy?

'''SECOND BLUE LASER MINION:''' He sounds crazy. Should we shoot him?

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Abso-total-lutely!

''{The second minion pulls out a large gun and aims it at Fightgar, who looks startled. The scene cuts back to Gunhaver and Reynold, who is now wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, with a ball sitting next to him, and we can hear shooting over the next exchange.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But Gunhaver, I've never had pizza before!

'''GUNHAVER:''' But you know what it looks like, don't you?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{smiling}'' I think so!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to an alley next to a building labeled "Seedy Bar". Firebert walks by in the background, while the Blue Laser Commander is standing next to a building.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Jumping out}'' Hey, kid! Wanna smoke some ''candy'' ''{holds up chocolate bar}'' with me?

''{The diagram of the body, which now appears to be a bear, appears over the scene this time. "#3" appears on the right. Firebert and Blue Laser Commander lean back to make room for the diagram}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pro-positive life tool number three:

''{The diagram and "#3" disappear, and Silent Rip appears from the side of the building and throws a smoke bomb.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Have your light infantry create a thick smokescreen.

''{The commander starts hacking and coughing, while Firebert pulls out a gun and shoots it at the commander.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Then lay down some suppressive fire until the snipers are in position. ''{He stops firing.}'' But look out for surface-to-air antioxidant missiles!

''{Firebert jumps out of the way as three missiles, labeled "100% GREEN TEA" and painted with skulls-and-crossbones, just barely miss the Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then by the time Reinforcements shows up...

''{Reinforcements shows up.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{Cut to a screen with Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ...Your mom ''{an image of a station wagon appears}'' should be waiting for you in the bus turnaround!

''{The theme music plays. Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So, do you think you're ready to make ''{more finger quotes}'' appropriate inappropriate whatever thingies now?

'''REYNOLD:''' Yes sir! I'm gonna get high on life!

''{Silent Rip walks up.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' We're about to start the movie! You guys coming?

'''GUNHAVER:''' What do you think, Reynold?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thinks a moment, then grins}'' I've got dysentery!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Good job, little buddy!

''{Gunhaver pushes Reynold offscreen to stage left, then walks with Silent Rip to stage right}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Man, I can't wait to see some serious pony carnage!

''{Fade to the Commandos in the Classroom logo again.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the classroom!

''{Cut to an image that reads "NEXT WEEK... LESSON 5: LISTEN YOU GUYS, YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO START SHOWERING EVERYDAY"}'' [sic]

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Next week, lesson 5: Listen you guys, you seriously need to start showering every day!

[[Image:Mysfit-steries2.PNG|thumb|left|The gang in high school]]
'''"The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries"''' is a [[Wikipedia:Scooby Doo|Scooby Doo]]-like cartoon written by [[A. Chimendez|Youdbetterbelieveit Chimendez]] that represents [[Strong Bad]]'s memory of when he, [[Strong Mad]], [[Homestar Runner]], and [[Marzipan]] were [[Teenage Variation|teenagers]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[highschool]]". Common plot threads apparently included debating the existence of "mysterious," as well as Strong Bad and Strong Mad's attempts to emancipate Homestar from his ridiculous stripèd pants. Each of the characters bears a resemblance to a Scooby Doo character: Strong Bad looks like [[Wikipedia:Norville "Shaggy" Rogers|Shaggy]], Homestar looks like [[Wikipedia:Fred Jones (fictional character)|Fred]], Strong Mad looks like [[Wikipedia:Velma Dinkley|Velma]], and Marzipan looks like [[Wikipedia:Daphne Blake|Daphne]].

At Homestar's insistence, the group plays in a band "just to be safe." In this band, Homestar plays the guitar and sings (without his usual lisp), Marzipan plays the tambourine, Strong Bad plays the keyboard, and Strong Mad plays the drums. Their only known song to date is "Havin' Fun With My Friends".

As Strong Bad states, he has an "extremely unphotographic" memory. With that in mind, it's unlikely that this account of the characters' pasts can be considered canon.

Teenage Homestar is playing his guitar [[Left Handedness|left handed]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' So cool an email. I thought you would enjoy it. Ding dong,
''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
what would you look like as a 
japanese cartoon and what would 
it be about? 
 
-james f.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "f." as "fffffffffff"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A Japanese cartoon, eh, James? I saw one o' thems once. Let's see what I can remember.

''{Cut to a white screen with Strong Bad standing there. As he describes how he would look different, the changes are applied}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real, real big eyes. Get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny ''{clean noise that sounds like a harp, or bells, or both}'' ...my boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. ''{robotic 'shooo' noise}'' And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. Then there's my mouth. Real tiny when it's closed; ridiculously huge when it's open. And then you basically just put me in space and let me fly around in cool poses!

''{We see Stinkoman, the anime Strong Bad, flying around in assorted cool poses. He then lands down in a futuristic anime rendition of the field. Video-game music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they'd probably have somebody else do the voices.

''{1-Up walks on}''

'''1-UP:''' Hey Stinkoman! Everybody says you're the guy, but I wanna be the guy too!

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older.

''{Pan Pan, the anime version of Pom Pom designed to look like a panda, bounces in and squashes 1-Up}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{laughing and stomping from one foot to the other, with miniature mushroom clouds appearing around his head}'' Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pan Pan is fat! Ha ha ha ha ha! He fell on you! Ha ha ha ha! He's a good bear!

''{Suddenly, the cartoon transitions into an ink-drawing of the scene. The Stinkoman K theme song starts playing. The lyrics are:}''

<blockquote>Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting that challenge tonight. 
 
Everybody's fighting for the 
Challenge of the fighting and the 
 
Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting that challenge tonight.</blockquote>

''{While the song is playing, the background then changes to a similar sketch of Stinkoman powering up, upon which the credits appear:}

''{The backdrop becomes a head with huge spikes for hair and Strong Bad's eyes. The style resembles Akira Toriyama's, who is best known for the Dragon Ball shows.}''

'''Programmer'''

'''T. Nakazoo'''

'''MaruMaru'''

'''Sound Composer'''

'''Konchan'''

''{Cut to the Compy with Strong Bad typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in Stinkoman's voice}'' Japanese cartoons are w— ''{clears his throat, his voice returns to normal}'' Oh, ahem, excuse me. ''{typing}'' Japanese cartoons are weird, man. Though I may be on to something with that blue hair. ''{stops typing}'' Look pretty nice, it look-a pretty nice!

'''Click Here To Email Strong Bad'''

''{You can click on the final "credit" to e-mail Strong Bad.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end you can click on the words "Japanese cartoons" to see Stinkoman in action.
*At the end of "Stinko Man K 20X6" you can click on "Japanese cartoons" again to see Homestar Runner watching it and singing along to the theme song.
*: '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Challenge and fighting and fighting that challenge tonight, somethin' and a somethin' and a somethin' and a somethin' and a...
**If you watch it until the song ends (26 seconds), Stinkoman eventually stops running on the TV, freezing in place, meaning the animation is not actually looped like most of the other animations on the site.
*While or after Homestar is watching the intro to Stinkoman, you can click on the "NES Endings" video tape to see various endings to NES games. Once the NES Endings window opens, you can click on it to show more.
** The endings for the Nintendo games are as follows:
*#[[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]] (also the source of the background music in this email)
*#[[Wikipedia:Castlevania II: Simon's Quest|Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest]] (Normal Ending)
*#[[Wikipedia:Mega Man II|Mega Man 2]]
*#[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]] (Super Mario USA in Japan)
*#Hoops
*#[[Wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts N' Goblins]] (Good, Second Ending)
*#[[Wikipedia:Blaster Master|Blaster Master]] (This has "BLUE HAiR" and an arrow pointing to the character's hair written on it)
*#[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]] (First Quest)
*#[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]] (with a [[Wikipedia:Metroid#JUSTIN_BAILEY|suitless]] [[Wikipedia:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]])
*#[[Wikipedia:Jackal (video game)|Jackal]]
*#[[Wikipedia:Rygar (video game)|Rygar]]

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*The TV Homestar watches reads [[Tee Bee|"Teebee"]] in the top right corner. In Japan, "TV" would literally be pronounced as tee-bee. However, since the word for TV in Japan is actually terebi, it may be in reference to how Homestar himself would say it.

*Until the domain registration expired, you could reach this email at [http://www.stinkoman.com www.stinkoman.com].
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Strong Bad makes up his own japanese cartoon."

===Remarks===
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad recites a [[Wikipedia:haiku|haiku]], which is very fitting (although in [[Halloween Fairstival]], he claims that he doesn't "know or care what a haiku is"):
:So cool an email
:I thought you would enjoy it
:Ding dong dear Strong Bad
*When Strong Bad is reading the email, the a> is at the bottom of the screen.
*If you look carefully in the second Easter egg, you will see that Stinkoman is running, but he is not going anywhere.
*[[The Paper]] does not come down at the end of the email.
*[[Strong Bad]] says someone else would probably do the voices for the [[20X6]] characters, but when it is back to him, he is talking in [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman's]] voice.
*When Homestar is seen from the back in the Easter egg, he is drawn in an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older style]].

===Inside References===
*The name Stinkoman is a reference to [[island]], when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman."
*The first line of Strong Bad's haiku is similar to Strong Bad Email #34, [[weird dream]], in which The Cheat's computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], has an icon labeled "So Cool A Flash." ''(also see Real-World references)''
*The two videos next to the NES Endings are "[[Joy of Painting]]" from the [[Toons Menu]].
*Stinkoman's first cool pose shows him holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].

===Real-World References===
*In the third slide of the credits for Stinkoman K, you can see a parody of [[Wikipedia:Vegeta|Vegeta]] from the series [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|''Dragon Ball Z'']] and [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball GT|''Dragon Ball GT'']] in his [[Wikipedia:Super Saiyan|Super Saiyan]] state.
*The credits for Stinkoman K are lifted from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176925/fullcredits ''The Legend of Zelda''] for the NES.
**"H. Yamauchi," "S. Miyahon," "Ten Ten" and "Konchan" refers to [[Wikipedia:Hiroshi Yamauchi|Hiroshi Yamauchi]], [[Wikipedia:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]], [[imdb:nm0854843|Takashi Tezuka]] and [[Wikipedia:Koji Kondo|Koji Kondo]], respectively.
*20X6 is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|''Mega Man'']], which is set in 20XX, or the first [[Wikipedia:Metroid|''Metroid'']] game, which is set in 20X5.
*Stinkoman's "robot boots" are similar to the ones that [[Wikipedia:Roll (Mega Man)|Roll]], a female character from the Mega Man games, wears.
*The spaceship strongly resembles one of the [http://starbase.globalpc.net/%7Ebhz/strongbad/images/galaxy5000.gif spaceships] from the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''Galaxy 5000''.
*The background music is taken from the NES game ''[[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]]''.
*The first two lines of Strong Bad's haiku are very similar to an infamous subject line used by the [[Wikipedia:Klez|Klez]] email virus, which read "so cool a flash,enjoy it". ''(also see Inside References)''
*[[Wikipedia:Oolong|Oolong]] is a Chinese tea, as well as a character from [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|''Dragon Ball'']].
*The "K" in "Stinko Man K 20X6" is a homage to anime mega-series such as [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]], [[Wikipedia:Gundam|Gundam]], and [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon]], which use letters to separate different series or seasons (e.g., ''Dragon Ball Z'', ''Z Gundam'', ''Sailor Moon R'', etc.)
*The line, "No way, you're just a kid, maybe when you're older" is a reference to the anime movie [[IMDb:0094625|''Akira'']], where [[Wikipedia:Kaneda|Kaneda]] refuses to let [[Wikipedia:Tetsuo Shima|Tetsuo]] ride his motorbike because he's "just a kid". Also, Stinkoman's voice is similar to [[IMDb:nm0164682|Cam Clarke's]] dub of Kaneda.
*When Stinkoman laughs after Pan Pan falls on 1-Up, his two-frame motion and the small mushroom clouds around his head are a reference to [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]], which similarly had very limited animation.

===Fast Forward===
*As The Brothers Chaps mention in the commentary below, "[[Combolations|combolations]]" would also be given by [[Senor Cardgage]] in [[flashback]].

== DVD Version ==
*The 20X6 and Homestar watching Easter eggs are now opened by different icons. The Strong Bad's head icon on the right side of the Compy 386 screen opens the former, and the one in the lower left corner of the Compy 386 opens the latter.
**Be warned that if you open the Homestar Easter egg, you have to restart the toon in order to see the other one.
*The NES Endings are still accessible, though you have to wait for the Homestar video clip to be finished before you can access them.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' This is CD number one.

'''MIKE:''' Number two.

'''MATT:''' Number three.

'''MIKE:''' And number four.

'''MATT:''' That's from that Flaming Lips four disc thing.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' So this is when we started this email at, like, 10 PM on Sunday night, didn't we?

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

'''MATT:''' And we didn't finish until early... or ''late'' Monday?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Or early Tuesday.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it was up on Monday.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' But it was definitely later in the day.

'''MATT:''' I remember Matt and Jenna, our friends Matt and Jenna came over and we had just drawn some of these preliminary drawings of Strong Bad as Stinkoman and we showed it to them.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember that.

'''MATT:''' They did! They came over—

'''MIKE:''' I believe you! I'm just saying I don't remember it.

'''MATT:''' Well I don't—

'''MIKE:''' I don't have anything to add to that, uh, line of—

'''MATT:''' I don't know why we did, we probably had a good time for a little while—

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' —and then they left.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' This is another email, nobody likes this email, everybody hates this email.

''{Mike laughs a little.}''

'''MATT:''' You know. There's that ship! Originally we were going to say that ship was The Cheat.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That was going to be, the 20X6 version of The Cheat was that ship.

'''MIKE:''' We should still do that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, maybe—maybe so.

'''MIKE:''' Um... I like Homestar's boots there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, I think we didn't—until we recorded this line, we weren't going to, like, call him Stinkoman, were we? And it was, we were just making that reference, to the old, to the island email.

'''MIKE:''' ''{at the same time, overlapping}'' You've got to remember... right.

'''MATT:''' I love those mushroom things. I love those—the mushroom things—

'''MIKE:''' There's the tear over your head.

'''MATT:''' The tear.

'''MIKE:''' And the snot bubble.

'''MATT:''' There's some other stuff.

'''MIKE:''' So many weird things that happen in—

'''MATT:''' Those mushroom things happen in, uh, Animal Crossing, when they get mad at you.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right!

'''MATT:''' Of course, these are all the credits from, uh, the original Legend of Zelda.

'''MIKE:''' Konchan, the sound composer. Does good work.

''{Matt starts singing the Legend of Zelda theme song, then Mike continues it.}''

'''MATT:''' Sorry. Um... so yeah. So the one-two punch of Trogdor and Stinkoman are probably—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, back to back weeks

'''MATT:''' —are probably ''the'' most popular emails. Combolations. ''{laughs a little}''

'''MIKE:''' Later, Senor Cardgage gives combolations to Strong Bad in the 100th email.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The album in particular Matt and Mike reference at the beginning is [[Wikipedia:Zaireeka|Zaireeka]] by [[Wikipedia:The Flaming Lips|The Flaming Lips]]. Zaireeka was a highly experimental album designed to be heard on 4 separate discs played simultaneously. The part of the album they reference happens at the beginning of each track and serves as a way to let you know you synced the discs properly.
*The talk about The Cheat 20X6 being a spaceship is likely a reference to the anime [[Wikipedia:Tenchi Muyo!|''Tenchi Muyo'']], where the [[Wikipedia:Cabbit|cabbit]] [[Wikipedia:Ryo-Ohki|Ryo-Ohki]] could transform into a spaceship several hundred times her size.
*In the video game ''[[Wikipedia: Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'', when the villagers get mad at you, steam clouds come out of their heads, not mushroom clouds like Matt said. When the villagers are laughing, words that mean laughing (such as ha ha) flash around their heads in a way similar to the way that mushroom clouds appear around Stinkoman's head.
