|[[Image:Afro.PNG|150px|"Coach Z's hair looks kinda funny."]] || '''Afro [[Coach Z]]''' as he looked when [[Strong Bad]] was a youngster. He had a photo taken in these times in 1974, which is his favorite personal photo, as it was "in the prime of [his] dating year". || [[stand-up]], [[record book]], [[what I want]] (photo ornament), [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] (photo ornament, also see below)

|align=center | [[Image:mustachioedHR.png|He's a long 'stache man.]] || '''Mustachioed Homestar Runner''' appeared alongside [[Homestar Runner]] throwing confetti to promote [[Bubs]]'s "Bubsotathon" on [[Senorial Day]]. He was obscured by the edge of the screen, and you could only see his mustache by viewing the Flash file. It is not currently known whether he is a true separate character or simply a strange occurrence of the Homestar Runner world. The email [[lady...ing]] points toward the latter, as it seems it is the real Homestar with a fake mustache. || [[Senorial Day]] (Easter egg behind the black), [[lady...ing]] (Easter egg), [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]], [[Coach Z's 110%]]

|-
|[[Image:coachzed.png|150px|Coach Zed]] || '''Coach Zed''' is a name [[Strong Bad]] makes up for the Canadian pronunciation of [[Coach Z]]. Strong Bad then thinks that he would prefer calling Coach Z that name after saying it. He believes that if he called Coach Z "Coach Zed," he wouldn't suck so bad. The "Z" emblem on Coach Z's body has been replaced with a "D". He is clearly drawn in the style of Charles Schulz, cartoonist of the famous "[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]" comic strip. He wears facial hair, a collar and a rumpled fedora, just like [[Wikipedia:Spike_%28Peanuts%29|Spike]], one of Snoopy's brothers. He kind of resembles "Coach Backwards N" from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]]. || [[do over]]

Tyler asks Strong Bad how you can tell if someone has a stupid butt. Strong Bad explains the concept of the Transitive Butt Property.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

{{Comp|Tandy 400}}

'''Date:''' Between September 19 and 27, 2001 

'''Running Time:''' 0:59

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

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email.

<blockquote class="tandy email"> Dear Mr Bad, 
How do you know if someone's butt is stupid? 
I mean, is there like some kind of IQ test? 
Crapfully yours, 
Tyler</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the ''{typing}'' Transitive Butt Property. ''{stops typing}'' And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head.

''{He types "stupid (butt) ≥ stupid (head)," then clears the screen to bring up Bad Graphics Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance. ''{laughing}'' Look at his stupid head! ''{labels Homestar's head "stupid (head)"}'' Look at how stupid his head is. ''{stops laughing}'' Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that ''easily'' his butt is going to be at least as stupid ''{labels Homestar's butt as "stupid (butt)"}'' if not stupider. ''{relabels butt as "stupid/stupider (butt)"}'' So there you have it. Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.

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

==[[Easter Eggs]]==
*Click "contrast" To Make The Screen Brighter or Darker.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to have capital letters in the title.
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to mention Homestar.
*This is the first instance of Strong Bad receiving an email signed "[[Crapfully Yours]]".
*The paper at the end is shorter in length than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of [[Homestar Runner]]).
*This is the first sbemail to show something on Strong Bad's computer other than text.

===Remarks===
*Normally, [[Wikipedia:Transitive relation|transitivity principles]] are used to infer a relation between two variables based on their relations to a third variable. For example, transitivity of "is greater than or equal to" implies that if <math>a\geq b</math> and <math>b\geq c</math>, then <math>a\geq c</math>.

===Goofs===
*For a split second when Strong Bad's text is cleared and [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|Bad Graphics Homestar Runner]] appears, the text appears outside of the computer screen.

===Inside References===
*The email appears to have been inspired by the song [[You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt|"You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt"]] from [[Strong Bad Sings]] (which later made its way to the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]).

Z' ShopChan

Lharbauer: /* Dancin' Musical Nobots */

[[Image:Shopchangeneric.PNG|thumb|"It's more important that I establish what I ''don't'' want for Decemberween."]]
[[Image:Zshopchanlogo.PNG|thumb|Z' ShopChan]]
'''Z' ShopChan''' is a TV shopping network hosted by [[Strong Bad]] and [[Marzipan]] in the [[Shopping Network Studio]]. It is shown in [[what I want]], when Strong Bad tells what he ''doesn't'' want for [[Decemberween]].

It heavily resembles shopping networks such as [[Wikipedia: QVC|QVC]].

==Items Sold==
===Ornaments===
Strong Bad states that ornaments are the "perennial all-star of bad awful Decemberween presents", seeing as they are presents that cease to be useful the moment they're opened, and have to be put away for another year. Marzipan describes giving an ornament as a gift as saying "I have no idea what your interests are."

===[[Dancin' Musical Nobots]]===
Strong Bad describes Dancin' Musical Nobots as "the kind that you accidentally activate by getting too close." He criticizes them for barely allowing you to hear the song that they are playing over the plastic gears and motors clanking together. Marzipan states that the presents scream "I stopped at the drug store on my way over."

===Homemade Gifts===
Strong Bad states that homemade items are all about "the false notion that just because you made something yourself, it's not a worthless piece of crap." It is also stated that gifts that are both homemade ''and'' an ornament are known as "anti-gifts", and that you actually have to pay a person who gives you one of those.

The '''Dancin' Musical Nobots''' are toy [[robots]] of various characters sold by [[Z' ShopChan]], as seen in the email [[what I want]]. They sway their legs and "dance" to garbled, low-quality character-related music (in what [[Marzipan]] refers to as "Drive-Thru Stereo"). They have a motion sensor that activates them if someone "accidentally gets too close".

==Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot==
The '''Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot''' is a toy [[robot]] that [[Strong Bad]] put on his list of things he didn't want for [[Decemberween]]. The toy mechanically sways its hips slowly back and forth, and it plays a heavily distorted and low-quality version of [[Everybody to the Limit]], though it's barely audible over the "plastic gears and motors clanking together in an effort to barely bust some sort of move". The Nobot will "entrangle" you with its hypnotically swaying hips, as it did to Strong Bad.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it ''nine times''!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner website loading screen, which then slowly wipes to a black screen with the text "It's now safe to turn your computer off." The navbar disappears. Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His mouth is a broken JPEG (with "TH" as the alt text), his legs are rendered as two overlapping red and blue layers, his midsection is missing, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about, as seen on [[Dancin' Bubs]]. It is a bit larger than it should be.}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a ''million years'' ago.

''{Cut to The Field, now a cloud scene. The Stick is gone. Strong Bad has one big foot instead of both legs, his black mark is too high, and his head and mouth are lopsided. The Cheat is floating around the screen, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black Rather Dashing and a colon fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and flies off in random directions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition...

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, he fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man.

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, to which Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a [[Bubs's Shotgun|shotgun]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi— ''{salsa music fades away}'' wait... why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do?! Where's my Compy?!?

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{more shaken than ever}'' YOU MURDERER!! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, ''{zoom in on Bubs}'' my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand! YAAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat squeaks, as though he is telling Strong Bad to wait up, and runs after him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs, can I have my leg back now?

''{There is a long pause.}

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hysterical}'' Dear Strong Bad, I doh du duoh crapfully yours. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard a few times.}'' I...ID DOH DU DUOH CRAPFULLY YOURS! I can relate. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I ''can't'' re''late!'' ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and ''mix'' ''{He hits his head.}'' it up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''names'', Davey! ''{he hits his head on the keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==

*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen, the [[Quote of the Week]] button, [[Sketchbook]] button, [[Weekly Fanstuff]] button, and hidden main page button are all clickable.
**Clicking the hidden main page button leads to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**Clicking the Quote of the Week button makes it bounce around the screen until it gets lodged at the top by its bottom corner. Clicking "Hear it" causes a pixelated broom to scroll vertically along the screen while making a loud distorted noise, and some of the links disappear off the bottom of the screen. Unless the X is pressed, the quote box stays there for the rest of the email. When clicking the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen, while the links reappear. When viewing the Flash file, if "Don't TAPE it" is scrolled over, it changes to "Don't TAKE it!".
**Clicking on the Sketchbook leads to a glitched sketchbook box, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scrolling over it causes a green X to appear overtop. Clicking it again causes it to close.
**Clicking on Weekly Fanstuff leads to a glitched fanstuff box, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space in the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's The Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and [[The King of Town's Grill|a grill]]. The picture has many fractions at the bottom (which are actually the text "sticktoyourbooks" in the font [[Fonts#M|MS Reference Specialty]]). Hovering the cursor over the misspelled "OCⓧSLE" instead of the close botton causes the words 'A BOOK' to appear in green. Clicking on it causes the box to slide to the top and disappear.
*Clicking on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail shows the shotgunned Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], with signs reading "Like Used!" and "Slightly Shotgunned!"
*Clicking on the fan on the right shows an excerpt of the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon, but with Fightgar using Homestar's leg as a gun.
:'''NARRATOR:''' ...to protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation#Quadratic Formula|quadratic formula]] is an algebraic equation used to determine the roots of a [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation|quadratic equation]].
*The Teen Girl Squad issue number is [[pi]] truncated to 8 decimal places.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the only page on the site that produces a pop-up browser window automatically.
*This is the only email in which the [[navbar]] and the email are combined into one Flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words). Later changes to the navbar (shortening "legal stuff" to "[[legal]]", adding "[[random toon|rando]]" and "[[FeedBurner Page|subscribe]]", coloring "[[store]]" red) have not been incorporated into this toon.
*The navbar was added to the DVD version but not the [[Podstar Runner]] version of this email.
*The broken JPEG icon is used in the Netscape family of web browsers, including [[Netscape|Netscape Navigator]], [[Wikipedia:Mozilla|Mozilla]], and [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#spy vs spy|spy vs spy]]".
*On most [[homestarrunner.com]] pages, there are either 16 or 17 HTML errors that are generated by the <embed> tag. The page for this email, however, only has 14 errors, as there are fewer embedded objects.
*Marzipan's distorted speech, with the distortion removed, is "It accentuates the accord, and the design, and the composition."

=== Remarks ===
[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|Ah! That is not a small number! That is a ''big'' number!]]
*Since the navbar is contained in this email's Flash file, it does not appear on the page until the toon has finished loading.
*Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created, although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made. The idea of a [[Wikipedia:Computer Virus|computer virus]] is much older, dating at least back to the 1972 science fiction novel, ''[[Wikipedia:When HARLIE Was One|When HARLIE Was One]]''. Even so, it would be very unlikely that any sort of virus scanner would have existed in 1982.
*In 2004, the year of the release of this email, only about [http://www.sophos.com/pressoffice/news/articles/2004/12/pr_uk_20041208yeartopten.html 100,000 known viruses] existed; well under the 423,827 that Edgar reports.
*Strong Bad's head is larger than normal (but not his wrestling mask) while he is talking to Strong Sad. It reverts back to normal when he runs for The Cheat, but then regresses back to the larger head once he enters into the black.
*The letters that make up [[ASCII art]] Marzipan refer to parts of her body: "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress. Her mouth, however, is a hyphen when closed or an "O" when open.
*Strong Bad says that Edgar from the [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] program is his "main man." However, he claims in "[[2 years]]" that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde."
*The reason the "making out with Marzipan" pop-up doesn't come up in the .swf, or Flash, version is because the information for the pop-up is stored in the HTML source code. All that the Flash file does is send a JavaScript command to the browser, opening the pop-up window.
*One of Strong Sad's expressions, "whistful," is spelled incorrectly. It should be "wistful."
*In the Fake QOD, the words "Quote of the Day (Or So)" are displayed reversed, as though in a mirror, and, instead of "Hear It!" and "Get It!", the buttons are "Hear It!" and "Don't TAPE It", although the latter is hidden by the top of the screen. "TAPE" changes to "TAKE" when moused over.
*When the Fake QOD easter egg is activated, the Games, Characters, Downloads, and Store buttons disappear.
**This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake Quote of the Week (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
*Allowing the fake Sketchbook to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch—a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
**The reason for the color switcher glitch is because in the .swf file of the glitched up sketchbook, there is a black box to the left of the screen, which covers up the screen on the left.
*This is the second e-mail made using the Widescreen technique. The first was [[flashback]].
*Clicking on the "main" on the navigation bar leads to the [[404'd]] page. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained in some environments by dividing zero by zero and/or other mathematical errors.
*When the fake popups appear followed by the real one, the fake ones look similar to the windows from some of the older Microsoft Windows operating systems. Depending on which operating system and desktop theme one uses, the real popup looks quite different from the fake ones. Especially users of operating systems such as Mac OS or Linux will notice this, while Windows 98 users will see no obvious difference.
*At the beginning of the Email, the contrast buttons will slightly increase and decrease the volume.
*In the Podcast version, Strong Bad looks back and forth when the ads pop up, even though they all appear in one area.
*Most shotguns spread out from the barrel, whereas the blast from Bubs's shotgun seems to narrow down as it reaches the back wall.
*When the "F" for [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and the "S" for [[Sketchbook]] are clicked, they change into a "[[Quote of the Week|Q]]".
*When the top of the screen lowers to reveal the weeklies, using the tab key will highlight a rectangle where the new toon message is displayed. While it can't be clicked, pressing enter while it is highlighted will lead to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable.
*After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears.

===Goofs===
*After Homestar grabs "downloads", "characters", and "games" from the bottom, "toons" is no longer clickable, unlike the other remaining links. Then, at the end of the email when everything else returns to normal, all the links disappear.
*The fake QOD, fanstuff, and sketchbook stay on the screen until the watcher of the email gets rid of them, even after Bubs shotguns the Compy, and in the Easter eggs.

===Fixed Glitches===
*As Strong Bad runs away from Bubs, his left arm momentarily disappeared. This has been fixed.

=== Inside References ===

*This is an extreme instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" title is from [[50 emails]].
*"Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." is from the counting song in "[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]".
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [[Character Cards]] that has since been removed from the site.
*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby]] knocks over to let the player into [[Naked Ned]]'s cottage.
**Using a broom to play Marzipan's garbled noise may be an oblique reference to people mistaking her for a broom.
*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]] (It has since been changed). The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
**The "Click on the Monkey" pop-up(s) shows an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older version of Homestar]].
*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the [[Yearbook Character Page]], as does the picture of him inside a giant M.
**This time, the giant M shows Strong Mad's "M" insignia on his singlet, whereas in [[Yearbook Character Page]], the giant M did not.
*The sound effect that plays when The Ugly One appears is taken from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*[[The Ugly One]]'s line ("I can do it [[nine times]]!") and the sound effects for her slapping the King of Town in the face come from [[crazy cartoon]]. However, she slightly misquotes it: the original line was "I can do it! I ''will'' do it nine times."
*The powering-down sound that plays just before Bubs walks across the screen is the same sound that plays just before the [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]
*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Bubs's right arm is also about twice as large as usual.
*Bubs's broken JPEG mouth bears the letters "TH." This might be a reference to his other identity, [[The Thnikkaman]].
*During the final glitch scene (just before Bubs "fixes" the computer), the song playing in the background is the intro to "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That A Ghost]]".
*Strong Bad's line during the final glitch scene is taken directly from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The cloud background during the final glitch scene is the same cloud background used in [[New Boots]].
*[[Image:virusdthecheat.gif|thumb|Virus'd The Cheat]] During the final glitch scene, The Cheat is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
*# The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
*# One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
*# A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
*# Another drawn version from Strong Bad's site.
*# A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
*# A Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the [[Fan Stuff]] part of the [[Museum]].
*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.
**Looking closely (or zooming into the Flash file) reveals that the fan is once again mysteriously floating in space, just like when the Tandy 400 blew up.
*Bubs sells the [[Broken Compy Menu|broken Compy 386]] as he did with the [[King of Town Email|broken Tandy 400]].
*Strong Bad's muttered last line "how do you text with boxing gloves on?" is a variation of the common "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]".


=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Linux kernel|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).
*[[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] is a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which until 2001 used bespectacled computer nerd [[Wikipedia:Peter Norton|Peter Norton]] as a front man.
*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, referring to the [[Wikipedia:Onion skinning|Onion skinning]] feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.
*"Click on the monkey" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Pop-up ad|popups]] where clicking on an object (ranging from targets to robbers, iPods, etc.) will usually bombard one's computer with spyware, viruses, etc.
*The dance The Cheat performs when Strong Bad says, "Let's do a dance for the computer genius man," looks like [[Wikipedia:Dana Carvey|Dana Carvey]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Church Lady|Church Lady]]" dance from the classic SNL sketch.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bourgeoisie|Bourgeoise]]," one of the emoticons acting as Strong Sad's head, is the feminine form of the term used in [[Wikipedia:Marxism|Marxism]] to describe the middle or upper class that oppose the [[Wikipedia:Proletariat|proletariat]] (working class) in the class struggle.
*The "ding" sound heard after EdgarWare finds the viruses is taken from some versions of [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].
*The screen "It's now safe to turn your computer off." is similar to the one displayed when shutting down a Windows computer that cannot turn itself off. The actual message is "It is now safe to turn off your computer", and the style of this message is taken from Windows 95 through 98.
*"A wise guy, eh?" was frequently muttered (in a very similar tone of voice to how Strong Bad says it) by [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe Howard]] of the comedy group [[Wikipedia:The Three Stooges|The Three Stooges]].

===Fast Forward===
*The "like used" Easter egg would return in the [[Broken Compy Menu]], where Homestar buys the Compy, despite finding the price absurd.
*[[Main Page 22]] is based on this email.
*The shotgunned Compy would reappear along with the cracked [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] in [[retirement]].
*As part of the computer explosions montage in [[hremail3184]], the Compy is shown being shotgunned from Bubs's point of view.
*Two of The Cheat's designs seen near the end (just before everything returns to normal) can be viewed as a few alternatives in the DVD release of [[The Reddest Radish]]; namely, the child's drawing and the crossing sign (but without the word "x-ing").

== DVD Version ==
*The email is letterboxed to preserve the widescreen aspect ratio.
*The central pop-up (that is, the one that would actually pop up on the website version) does not appear.
*Unlike all other DVD emails, this has the [[HR:main nav.swf|navbar]] on the bottom.
*The way the Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly Fanstuff Easter eggs work has changed. All three are combined into one Easter egg, which goes to the Weekly Fanstuff Easter egg, then the Quote of the Week Easter egg, and finally the Sketchbook Easter egg. However, the Quote of the Week egg is silent.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' This email looks tiny, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It's a funny shape.

'''MIKE:''' It's smaller than the rest, and there's little words at the bottom.

'''MATT:''' This doesn't make any sense to me!

'''MIKE:''' What's going on?

'''MATT:''' S— Oh, no. Strong Bad must have gotten some type of a wirus!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Virus.

'''MATT:''' B— Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' Virus?

'''MATT:''' Oh. I used the German pronunciation.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' K. Um, so this was, uh, this was a— this email was kind of a big— big production.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Took longer than most.

'''MATT:''' A long time in coming.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see— he hasn't used "deleted" on the Lappy yet, now that he has a new computer, has he?

'''MIKE:''' I guess not. I wonder what it looks like when he deletes something on the Lappy.

'''MATT:''' I dunno. "Drop a train on 'em" was from a bad hip-hop song I made in college — ''{Mike laughs}''— where I sampled the soundtrack from a Dirty Harry movie.

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

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So this, obviously, was, uh, pretty fun to make where you could just kinda put stuff wherever and just...

'''MATT:''' It's more like ''your'' computer is getting the virus than Strong Bad's computer getting the virus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The whole world is getting the virus.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3" up there at the top.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm. There's uh, Strong Sad's head is the, uh, his little emoticons from the uh, his—

'''MATT:''' Strong Sad's Web journal.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad Journal.

'''MATT:''' That was from an unused character page we never made.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something good, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' Make it— Make it funny.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{adopts different tone}'' T— To— ''{normal voice}'' Oh, yeah, weren't we gonna do— I was going to be a character when we did this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Start doing Homestar.

'''MATT:''' All right...

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a lot of me's.

'''MIKE:''' That ''was'' a lot of you's.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike, some of them were old me's that don't look so great.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. I thought you looked pretty good back in the old days.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look bad.

'''MIKE:''' Look Bad!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's a different character.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who was Look Bad again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, what are they doing there? Is he gonna eat that doo-doo shovel?

'''MIKE:''' No, I think was going to take a picture of it, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But he doesn't have a camera, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' But the camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's got a mustache.

'''MIKE:''' The camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He clearly wanted... a doo-doo-stache.

'''MIKE:''' Who's that, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' That looks kinda like Bubs, from Website. But I don't think so. Oh, look, it's ''Pitfall''.

'''MIKE:''' That did happen in ''Pitfall''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' If you flick the on and off switch a lot, you get a little floating Pitfall Harry through the trees!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like The Cheat's little sassy dance there, Homestar. Did you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I did. Hands on hips!

'''MIKE:''' How'd you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I said, "Hands on hips!"

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your leg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That is not my leg! That looks like a shotgun.

'''MIKE:''' Bu—

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That shotgun looks dangerous, Mike. I don't agree with its appearance in this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' You shouldn't play with shotguns, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Did you learn that the hard way?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Penny Hardaway?

'''MIKE:''' I'm allowed to— I'm allowed to draw them, though. Drawing them's no problem.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Drawing them is bad.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Here I come!

'''MIKE:''' See?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! I lost my leg!

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's— Bubs— Bubs has it there.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad looks like he's a little delirious in this part.

'''MIKE:''' He's— He's sad. He's had a great loss. People sometimes act like this... when they're experiencing great losses.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But— Mike, a great loss sounds like a contradiction.

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

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't— I've never had any ''great'' losses.

'''MIKE:''' "Great"— "Great" meaning "large," not meaning—

'''HOMESTAR:''' All my losses are bad losses.

'''MIKE:''' You've never had a great loss?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Except maybe, some pounds. ''{Pause}'' He just really put a hole right through that thing, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Didn't go through the wall, though.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope. ''{whispering}'' Let's get quiet.

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' Okay.

=== Fun Facts ===

* Matt says Strong Bad got a "wirus" and then calls this "the German pronunciation". This is because the standard German pronunciation of the word "virus" starts with a "w" sound, imitating the original Latin pronunciation of the word.
* Homestar demonstrates his ignorance that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible hands or arms]].
* [[Wikipedia:Penny Hardaway|Penny Hardaway]] is a professional basketball player who has played guard for the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and New York Knicks.
* The "bad hip-hop song" Matt is referring to can be heard [[Thorax:mp3s/Mr.MC_1973.mp3|here]].

[[Image:Sbemail2 old emails button.PNG|150px|thumb|"old emails" button]]
===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad makes fun of someone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling]].
*This is also the first email that shows an area outside of the [[computer room]].
*This is the first email where a character other than Strong Bad appears.
*This marks the first appearances of Homsar and the [[Heavy Lourde]].
*The back button at the end of this email used to go to the games menu instead of the Strong Bad Email menu (an "old emails" button used to be present that would link to the old emails). After [[flashback]] was released, [[The Brothers Chaps]] removed the old emails button and fixed the back link. The old version can still be viewed [http://web.archive.org/web/20030914182155/http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail2.swf here.]
*The [[Until Next Time...|conclusion]] is a reworded version of the one in [[some kinda robot]].

=== Remarks ===
* Strong Bad's mouth doesn't move when he says "doo doo doo."
* The Flash file for this email is the smallest in terms of file size at just over 100 kilobytes.
* The Heavy Lourde falls from [[Hammerspace|nowhere]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's mask doesn't have laces on the back of it when he goes outside.
*Strong Bad's neck cannot be seen when he pulls away from the Tandy.
*Homsar's mouth doesn't sync to his speech.
*In his reflection and the [[Tandy 400]] screen a little gray mark is sticking out of the V shape on his mask. This goof is easier to see when it is zoomed in.

===Fast Forward===
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], Homsar leaves a message thanking [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital. It's implied that he was in the hospital because the Heavy Lourde had been dropped on him in this email.

* The scene where [[Homsar]] was introduced was reused in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] when you activate his easter egg.

== Biography ==
'''Homsar''' is perhaps the strangest and most enigmatic of all the [[Characters#Main characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. He was originally created as a result of a typo in the [[Strong Bad Email|email]] [[homsar]], in which Vinnie C. asked, "If you hate Homsar so much, why don't you kill him?" (Presumably, Vinnie had actually meant to type "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]".) [[Strong Bad]] promptly dropped a [[Heavy Lourde]] on Homsar and left him for [[Death|dead]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] later decided to keep Homsar as a main character, and they brought him back in an Easter egg in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] and in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], where he thanked [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital.

Homsar occasionally makes brief appearances in various cartoons, often in Easter eggs (and has even been referred to as the "secret guy"). With the exception of [[Which Ween Costumes?]], Homsar has appeared in an [[Easter egg]] somewhere in the middle of every [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)|Halloween toon]] since his introduction. These eggs are typically triggered by clicking somewhere on or near [[The Poopsmith]].

[[Image:3dhomsar.png|thumb|140px|{{homsarquote|72|94}}]]

Homsar doesn't have very many friends other than [[Strong Sad]] and Marzipan. Most of the other characters generally regard him as a nuisance. In particular, Strong Bad seems to dislike him the most; he states in [[interview]] that he would rather gnaw his own leg off than talk to him for 3 seconds. [[Bubs]] apparently refuses to talk to him, as evidenced in [[Where's The Cheat?]]. Despite his unpopularity, he serves in the [[Homestarmy]] and occasionally attends parties where the other main characters are present. He enjoys playing board games with Strong Sad, and has organized his own activities, such as a [[tree hugging]] concert and the play "[[stupid stuff|Butt's Twelve by Pies]]" (starring Lighting and Set Decoration). He ran the Merch Masala on the [[Cool Tapes]] tour in [[Weclome Back]] and played a [[Wikipedia:Theremin|theremin]] in Strong Bad's band in [[Baddest of the Bands]].

In the email [[interview]], Strong Bad, using a pen puppet, claimed that Homsar was "raised by a cup of coffee" (also mentioned by the narrator in Strong Badia the Free when you take over the [[Homsar Reservation]]: "raised by a cup of coffee indeed"). In [[fan club]], Homsar proclaimed that he was "the son of a [[Wikipedia:Chipwich|Chipwich]]", and an Easter egg revealed a photo of a cup of coffee and an ice cream sandwich labeled "Homsar's Parents".

Homsar was the winner of a month-long sales competition between himself and Senor Cardgage for the title of [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]. The topic was brought up in [[fan club]], and the loser had to complete a coherent thought as punishment on Homestar Runner's [[The Show]]. (It was later annouced that [[Senor Cardgage]] was the loser.)

==Distinctive Characteristics==

===Speech===
Homsar's most distinct characteristic is his unusual manner of speaking, which has varied over time. His tone of voice is generally quite exaggerated, and he often begins sentences by wailing "DAaAAaaAAaaAAaa!". His speech tends to range from perfectly normal English to often random and disconnected phrases that have little to no connection to the scene. Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Wikipedia:Receptive aphasia|Receptive aphasia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is often intact, but the words themselves have no particular meaning), but this is not always the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.

It has been argued that his unusual speech patterns are the result of being crushed by the Heavy Lourde. This could be evidenced by the fact that in [[homsar]], he is able to speak "normally" to Strong Bad. Some find this unlikely, considering that he was able to speak more or less normally when he called Marzipan after that event. Others suggest that it is possible that the negative effect was a delayed reaction.

As shown in [[DNA Evidence]], he can make his voice sound like a whole crowd of people, even when he is alone. In [[Happy Dethemberween]], he and Strong Sad demonstrate that he can also make chiming noises when hit on the head.

In ''[[Strong Badia the Free]]'', Strong Sad describes him as speaking an entirely different language altogether. Strong Bad briefly gains complete understanding of Homsar's language by utilizing a nearby "pylon". He is the only one who understands Homsar, however (as evidenced by a quick view of the conversation from Strong Sad's perspective, in which Homsar not only sounds normal, but Strong Bad is speaking in word salads as well), and at the end of the conversation, the pylon is destroyed, ending Strong Bad's ability to understand him. This version of Homsar has a distinctly different voice (like a stereotypical Native American, which Strong Bad describes as "soothing"), and quite visibly understands everything that's going on around him in a very coherent manner, though he also has a tendency to talk a lot.

===Homsar and the Laws of Physics===
[[Image:Homfloat.PNG|thumb|Homsar floating in [[The Field]].]]
Another bizarre aspect of Homsar is his ability to defy the laws of physics through means that are not entirely explained. In many cases it would appear that Homsar can bend reality to his will, performing feats that other characters cannot. Various feats of science defiance include levitation (as demonstrated in [[narrator]], his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]], [[A Folky Tale]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[the paper]], [[Strong Badia the Free]], [[Baddest of the Bands]] and [[mini-golf]]), self-duplication ([[Fall Float Parade]] and [[Happy Dethemberween]]), sound manipulation ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[DNA Evidence]], [[Happy Dethemberween]], and [[Strong Badia the Free]]), possible time manipulation ([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]), teleporting ([[for kids]]), possible metamorphosis (as seen in [[impression]], though this hypothesis is disputed), retracting his head like a turtle ([[Happy Hallow-day]]), morphing/bending terrain (Homsar homepage), and can possibly cause (or at least reflect back) the [[jibblies]] ([[Jibblies 2]]). On top of this, Homsar's yellow [[bowler hat]] can levitate and float around, as well as transmute into different shapes (e.g an engineer's cap as seen in his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Character Video]]). It is possible that this hat, which levitates when Homsar speaks (including when he is upside down, as in [[cliffhangers]]), is actually being manipulated, as opposed to just flying about on its own. Homsar is, after all, a character [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacking visible arms]]. However, Homsar's solo in the music video [[One Two, One Two]] involves his hat flying farther than arms on a character his size would allow. Another theory for this is that Homsar, and quite possibly the other characters lacking arms, have limited psycho-kinetic abilities. Indeed, it appears that the laws of both science and logic do not apply to Homsar. The powers of Executive Meddling in recreating Fiction also do not apply, as evidenced in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], where he doesn't get changed into a hip new character, unlike the rest of the cast (he is in fact called "Still Homsar").

In [[Strong Badia the Free]], after the "secession", Homsar lives in a place called the "Homsar Reservation." Everything in this location seems to defy the laws of physics as much as Homsar himself. Examples of this phenomenon are floating and moving rocks, ripples in the sky, and a strange rock structure with the ability to make others understand his language. Strong Bad is also seen defying the laws of physics by floating like Homsar whilst the rock structure is in full effect.

===Similarity to Homestar Runner===
In terms of general appearance, Homsar bears a striking resemblance to [[Homestar Runner]]. Although he is grossly exaggerated, pigeon-toed, and more curved, he and Homestar share [[Wikipedia:Prognathism|underbites]], clothing style (a hat and shirt), feet style, shading, and skin color. As he was originally a misspelling of "Homestar", it is logical that Homsar is somewhat of a badly-drawn Homestar. Strong Bad remarks upon this in the email [[for kids]], where he refers to Homsar as a "blue midget Homestar". Homestar himself even calls Homsar "Homestar" in [[looking old]]. In [[Baddest of the Bands]] Strong Bad calls him "you misspelling" and when Homestar is impressed with him, curses the letters E and T for preventing him from being as cool as Homsar. Despite their appearances, Homestar claims that he and Homsar are not actually related in the [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD#DVD Credits|SBCG4AP Collector's DVD Credit Sequence]].

===Naming of Other Characters (and Himself)===
Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). When asked for an Autograph for Homsar by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Baddest of the Bands]], Marzipan signs herself, "Matzah Ball", indicating that is what he calls her. One might reason that the epithet is used due to the fact that both monikers have the same starting letter and amount of syllables. They are also both foods. Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) hardly make sense. This is assuming that he is speaking to/about these characters and that he is not just disoriented or believes he is talking to someone else. His way of naming may also be used to describe how a character looks at the time, like when he called The Cheat "chocolate cake" when The Cheat was covered in [[whatsit]]. Homsar also thinks up strange names for himself, such as "Homsar, the captain of the gravy train", "the human wedgie", "a friendly reminder", "A knock-knock joke about jogging suits", and "a song from the '60s". Homsar doesn't seem to repeat any of his made-up names (except a song from the '60s), in keeping with his tendency to forget or disregard things or become confused. Homsar has also been named by others, like when Homestar called him "the secret guy" or when Strong Bad referred to him as "America's favorite blue midget Homestar".

===Walking===
Homsar has pigeon-toed feet that move incredibly fast, but his movement is very slow. Also, whenever Homsar walks, he makes a peculiar fluttery noise, although this sound effect is not present in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Some other characters have also [[Sound Effects#homsar walking|made this noise]].

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
[[File:Which Ween Costumes loading screen.png|thumb|Loading screen]]
*No [[Halloween]] toon was released in October 2010. To compensate, the characters are dressed up for [[Decemberween]] instead, and Strong Bad says they "have their 'weens' crossed" (the loading screen even features a jack-o-lantern wearing a [[Santaman]] hat).

=== Remarks ===
*This toon has no back button.
*This is the first Halloween toon since [[Homestarloween Party]] to not include [[Homsar]].
*This, like [[A Decemberween Mackerel]], has a higher [[Sound Quality|quality sound]] than most previous toons.
** The toon's "screen" is also twice as large as usual, again like the [[A Decemberween Mackerel|previous toon.]]
*Bubs's machine [[gun]] doesn't have a trigger.
*The scene inside Pom Pom's snowglobe costume is slightly different from the real scene:
**The Cheat is in between Strong Bad and Marzipan instead of Strong Bad and Coach Z.
**Everyone else is in the same order, but they're spread out horizontally and are not as deep vertically.
**The stiletto heel Strong Bad is standing in is reversed.
**The miniature Pom Pom is empty instead of containing yet another scene of characters.
*The miniature Homestar inside Pom Pom's costume blinks its eyes. Marzipan, who normally blinks, does not blink either in the real scene or the miniature.
*Strong Mad's costume is labeled "the Abominable Snowman", a generic name for the mythical [[Wikipedia:Yeti|Yeti]], though it seems to refer specifically to the creature from the ''[[Wikipedia:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'' TV special, which was actually called the Abominable Snow ''Monster''.
*When Bubs puts away the machine gun, his arm and hand go completely off-screen, revealing another hand at his side at the same time.
*This is the first toon since the introduction of the [[FeedBurner Page]] not to get an entry on that page.

=== Fixed Goofs ===
*When this toon was originally released, the King of Town's costume was misspelled "Heat Meiser" instead of the correct "Heat Miser". The error was corrected later that day.
*The label over The Cheat originally omitted the word "as".
*When clicking on the Strong Mad Easter egg, Bubs's teeth would lower and The Cheat's right arm would raise slightly. After Homestar finished talking, both characters returned to their default.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat pulls out the [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]] [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD|Collector's DVD]] with the [[Videlectrix]] alternate cover.
*[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] mentions his [[Style|style]].
*Bubs brandishes a machine [[gun]], which is meant to keep The Cheat from stealing out of the bargain bin.
*Homestar previously confused weens in the ornament scene of [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] when he complimented Strong Bad ornament's costume, prompting Strong Bad to say "Uh, you got the wrong 'ween, Homestar. This is Decemberween. Not the Hallow- one."

=== Real-World References ===
*''[[Wikipedia:Die Hard|Die Hard]]'' is a well-known action movie starring [[Wikipedia:Bruce Willis|Bruce Willis]] that takes place on Christmas.
*[[Wikipedia:Rankin/Bass|Rankin/Bass]] is the production company that produced the stop-motion ''[[Wikipedia:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'' Christmas special. They are also known for their erratic style of animation, which Strong Mad emulates.
*''[[Wikipedia:St. Elsewhere|St. Elsewhere]]'' was a TV show in the mid 1980s. In the series finale, it was revealed that the entire show was possibly the daydream of an autistic child staring at a snowglobe.
**[[Wikipedia:Ed Begley, Jr.|Ed Begley, Jr.]] was one of the actors on the show.
*The King of Town mentions the Bumpuses' dogs, which featured in the plot of ''[[Wikipedia:A Christmas Story|A Christmas Story]]''.
** Strong Bad also says Strong Sad looks like a "deranged Easter bunny" and a "pink nightmare" in his costume, which is how Ralphie's dad describes him in the movie.
** Strong Bad's costume, the leg lamp, is also from the same movie.
*Homestar confuses Strong Sad's costume as Frank the Bunny from [[Wikipedia:Donnie Darko|Donnie Darko]].
*Homestar mistakes the King of Town for being a "Devil [[Wikipedia:Don King (boxing promoter)|Don King]]". (He previously mistook the King for Don King in [[Jibblies 2]].)
*Homestar comments on his own costume to the tune of "Do You Realize??" by [[Wikipedia:The Flaming Lips|The Flaming Lips]], whose lead singer wrote and directed the film from which Homestar's costume originates.
*The Heat Miser first appeared in [[Wikipedia:The Year Without a Santa Claus|The Year Without a Santa Claus]], another Rankin/Bass production. The King of Town also quotes the character's [[YouTube:wbfgVEk-mxQ|song]] from the movie when describing his costume.

*The Start Of ABDW Has The Same Quote As The Toon.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
[[File:Which Ween Costumes loading screen.png|thumb|Loading screen]]
*No [[Halloween]] toon was released in October 2010. To compensate, the characters are dressed up for [[Decemberween]] instead, and Strong Bad says they "have their 'weens' crossed" (the loading screen even features a jack-o-lantern wearing a [[Santaman]] hat).

=== Remarks ===
*This toon has no back button.
*This is the first Halloween toon since [[Homestarloween Party]] to not include [[Homsar]].
*This, like [[A Decemberween Mackerel]], has a higher [[Sound Quality|quality sound]] than most previous toons.
** The toon's "screen" is also twice as large as usual, again like the [[A Decemberween Mackerel|previous toon.]]
*Bubs's machine [[gun]] doesn't have a trigger.
*The scene inside Pom Pom's snowglobe costume is slightly different from the real scene:
**The Cheat is in between Strong Bad and Marzipan instead of Strong Bad and Coach Z.
**Everyone else is in the same order, but they're spread out horizontally and are not as deep vertically.
**The stiletto heel Strong Bad is standing in is reversed.
**The miniature Pom Pom is empty instead of containing yet another scene of characters.
*The miniature Homestar inside Pom Pom's costume blinks its eyes. Marzipan, who normally blinks, does not blink either in the real scene or the miniature.
*Strong Mad's costume is labeled "the Abominable Snowman", a generic name for the mythical [[Wikipedia:Yeti|Yeti]], though it seems to refer specifically to the creature from the ''[[Wikipedia:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'' TV special, which was actually called the Abominable Snow ''Monster''.
*When Bubs puts away the machine gun, his arm and hand go completely off-screen, revealing another hand at his side at the same time.
*This is the first toon since the introduction of the [[FeedBurner Page]] not to get an entry on that page.

=== Fixed Goofs ===
*When this toon was originally released, the King of Town's costume was misspelled "Heat Meiser" instead of the correct "Heat Miser". The error was corrected later that day.
*The label over The Cheat originally omitted the word "as".
*When clicking on the Strong Mad Easter egg, Bubs's teeth would lower and The Cheat's right arm would raise slightly. After Homestar finished talking, both characters returned to their default.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat pulls out the [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]] [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD|Collector's DVD]] with the [[Videlectrix]] alternate cover.
*[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] mentions his [[Style|style]].
*Bubs brandishes a machine [[gun]], which is meant to keep The Cheat from stealing out of the bargain bin.
*Homestar previously confused weens in the ornament scene of [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] when he complimented Strong Bad ornament's costume, prompting Strong Bad to say "Uh, you got the wrong 'ween, Homestar. This is Decemberween. Not the Hallow- one."
