==Transcript==
''{Open to an almost-entirely black screen, with a window in the corner. As the following words are said, they are written at the bottom of the screen in red.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' One chilled ''{said as chillèd}'' Hallow's eve I rose,

''{Strong Sad steps out of the shadows. The next line is not written on the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And sat right down to writing,

''{He sits down as a desk moves in to view, with a paper and inkwell on it. He pulls out a pen and takes it to the paper.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' For none had bothered to propose, to their parties, my inviting.

''{Cut back to another mostly-black screen with another window. Strong Sad is seen writing at the desk in white silhouette. The words are again written in red.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I crafted such a macabre ''{said in an exaggerated fashion}'' tale there in my darkened room

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' To achieve literary justice, and send each to their DOOOOM! ''{As he says the final word, a skull image appears over his head, the screen glows slightly green, and a musical sting is heard.}''

''{To music, a book entitled "DOOMY TALES OF THE MACABRE by S. Sad" appears. On the cover, Strong Sad is dressed as the grim reaper and laughing. In front of him lie skulls of other main characters.}''

''{Cut to the exterior of the King of Town's castle. One window is brightly lit. The camera zooms in on that window.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' We start with the most expendable. Grrrreetings, ''{with the R rolled}'' King of Town!

''{Cut to inside the castle, where the King of Town is slowly sinking into a giant boiling pot.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For this glutton, a stew of mutton in which to slowly drown!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I thought these were tales of the McArby: ''{A book appears with "TALES OF THE McARBY" on it, showing an enormous hamburger.}'' the mythical fast-food crossover sandwich of legend!

''{The book disappears. The King of Town is now mostly submerged. He gurgles a bit and munches on the mutton on the way down. A skull image in the shape of The Municipality logo appears over his head as he sinks, to a musical sting. Cut to an image of a crystal ball.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What's this? ''{Marzipan walks up to the crystal, and a distorted reflection of her is visible in it.}'' The fair maid Marzipan considering a brand new man?

''{Homestar leans in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan! Have you seen my toenail clippings? I left them right on top of your toothbrush.

''{Marzipan glares at Homestar for a moment, and then into the crystal.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Crystal, crystal, on the ball, I need a better boyfriend, y'all!

''{Closeup on the ball, which is glowing. A buzzing sound is heard.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But the gypsy forces she invoked decided they would play a joke!

''{The ball flashes to a thunderclap. Cut to Homestar, but pan immediately so that only his shadow is visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' AaaaaaaaAAAAAAA...

''{His shadow and voice both shift to match Coach Z's}''

'''COACH Z:''' AAAAARRAOOOOOORR!

''{Pan back over to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there, my little love jorb! ''{Holds up his foot, which is encased in a shoe that's falling apart. It's stained and some hairs are on it.}'' These bunions, corns, and calluses aren't gonna pumice themselves!

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{halfheartedly; a skull appears over her face to the musical sting}'' Nuuuuuuu... Oh, wait, ''{squinting}'' what's that say? ''{The skull appears to the musical sting again.}'' Nooooooooo!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is in silhouette. The top of the screen resembles the paper Strong Sad is writing on, and Strong Sad's line is written on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And now we join a man obse—

''{Sudden cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, what abrat my doom?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um, you're already Coach Z. No sense in beating a dead horse.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, good point!

''{A skull appears over his face to the musical sting. Cut back to the Concession Stand, the same as before.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And now we join a man obsessed with sales and liquidation,

''{Cut to inside the Stand. Bubs is concocting some sort of potion with a complicated device. He has some bubble gum in his costume's wig. A bottle of "TOXIC WASTE" is sitting near him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Dabbling with fiendish tests and genetic experimentation.

'''BUBS:''' I'll just take this piece of brain from my wig... ''{grabs the bubble gum and throws it into the concoction. Strong Sad's face appears in the corner of the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' But you all know how these things go, with unnatural creations.

''{Cut back outside the Stand.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A puff of smoke! ''{smoke appears}'' A greenish glow! ''{the space inside the Stand turns green}'' Voila! Horrible abominations!

''{A giant puff of smoke appears. The text on the stand has been replaced with Bubs-like eyes, and teeth resembling Bubs' teeth hang above the stand's window. Bubs, now clearly visible, looks up at this. The stand growls and the teeth shake.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aw, this was supposed to ''reduce'' my overhead! Not turn into my head!

''{The teeth chomp at Bubs, severing his head from his body. The head, with Xs in place of eyes, flies forward and lands in front of Onion Bubs.}''

'''ONION BUBS:''' Welcome to my world! Ehhhhh-heheheheheheeeeeeeh!

''{A skull appears over Bubs' head to a musical sting. Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith in the middle of the field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' These two no-talkers need to go!

''{A piece of paper comes down from the top of the screen; both characters look at it. "Poopsmith" is written on it over Strong Sad's next line.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Let's eliminate a Poopsmith O!

''{The word on the paper becomes "POpsmith". A tire pump that looks like it came from an old video game appears in front of the Poopsmith. The Poopsmith looks at it and starts pumping it. As he does, a tube connects from it to Pom Pom. Pom Pom becomes pixelated and grows bigger, until he pops. Crickets chirp for a moment.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover, unsure}'' Oh, uh, and Pom Pom was filled with a deadly gas... ''{a cloud of gas appears where Pom Pom was}'' that killed the Popsmith... really... fast.

''{The Poopsmith suddenly falls over onto the tire pump. A skull appears over his head, and over Pom Pom's cloud, with a really fast musical sting. Cut to Homestar running in the field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar Runner, fast, like the whind, but how fast can he run when his knees can't bend?

''{As Homestar passes a tree, his legs straighten out to a musical sting. He keeps running, albeit slower, anyway.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh! Hey, this ain't so bad! ''{Hearts appear over his head}'' Give me the good thoughts, you know.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I'll revise, then, if you please. What if each leg had several knees?

''{A flash of light and musical sting as Homestar's legs become curved and tangled. Nonetheless, he shuffles along anyway.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, great! It's like I'm wadin' through puddin' with every step! And everyone knows how much the Homestar Runner loves wadin' through puddin'. ''{He stops.}'' Strong Sad, these doomy tales of macrame aren't very scary. ''{He walks forward.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, there's an idea!

''{Cut to the dark room where Strong Sad is writing, now silhouetted in gray. Homestar shuffles in in white. The words are written on the bottom of the screen again.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A crafty fad, once loved by all. I'll hang you on a 70's basement wall!

''{Suddenly, the background becomes a yellow wallpaper, and Homestar becomes a macrame owl hanging on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{terrified}'' Oh no! Macrame! My worst nightmare!

''{Marzipan steps forward.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' But Macrame Owl Homestar, I give you a macrame dream catcher for Decemberween every year.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My point exactlyyyyyyy!

''{A skull appears over the macrame Homestar to the musical sting. Marzipan jumps back in surprise. Coach Z steps in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Get back upstairs and cook my seventies dinner, woman!

''{Marzipan scowls and walks off.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And put on a pantsuit, fer cryin' out loud!

''{Cut to the Sad Kids approaching a house with a candy bag. A paper appears, with Strong Sad's words written on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Halloween is very handy, for those with appetites for candy.

''{The paper disappears as a hand drops a piece of candy into the bag. The Sad Kids walk off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Except for greedy trick-or-treaters...

''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Like Strong Mad and The Cheat... ''{struggles for a rhyme}'' er...

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' CHECK OUT MY NEW TREAT BAG!

''{He indicates a dumpster with "TR[[Lowercase i's|i]]CK TREAT" spray-painted on it.}''

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

''{Cut to the moon, panning back.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All night long, they gathered sweets,

''{The dumpster comes into view. Candy is poured into it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And tossed upon the growing heap! When finally struck the midnight hour,

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat appear in the dumpster and start scarfing down candy. The Cheat disappears suddenly.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Twas not just candy he devoured! ''{chuckles}''

''{Strong Mad chokes a little and yellow hairs fly out of his mouth.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT? NOOOOOO!!!

''{A skull appears over Strong Mad's head, and another appears around his stomach for The Cheat, for the musical sting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's not macaber!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing near the dumpster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad eats The Cheat like four times a day! How do you think we give him baths?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, fine! Well, I saved the ''most'' macabre ''{exaggerated}'' for last!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd like to see you get macabré on mé!

''{Cut to the Compé. Strong Bad types Strong Sad's words.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad, as he always does, checks emails from his fans, what if,

''{Cut to behind the Compé.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' instead of boxing gloves, a pair of human hands?!

''{Strong Bad's hands are replaced by human hands. Strong Bad recoils. The Compé's monitor falls away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaahhh! I'm hideous! How will I ever type with these waggly knuckled monstrosities?!

''{He attempts to type, but fails. A skull appears over his head to the musical sting. Fade out and back in to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now all have met their grisly fate, such horrors for you to see. Perchance next time they'll all think twice before not inviting me!

''{The lights suddenly come on, and Strong Sad looks up with a happy surprised face.}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Halloween, Strong Sad!

''{Cut back to show Strong Sad looking at all the other main characters except Homsar.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' A surprise party? Just for me?! Oh, you guys shouldn't have! You all really do care!

''{The characters all fall forward, revealed to be a giant cardboard cutout with a tape player behind it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. ''{to the viewer, nervously:}'' Heh, heh, you weren't really supposed to see that, uh... let's just flick the light back off, shall we?

''{He turns off the light. The words "the end." appear to music, with skulls of the characters appearing below it. Cut to a scene of all the characters standing around in the field.}''

Not sure if I wanna know the answer to this, but did you steal Mickey Mouse's pants? Marzipan, off-duty Ronald McDonald? It is what it is. And finally, Homestar, you seem to be distraught. People try and make me sound a lot... weird, y'know, and I'm strong! And I can... kick... ''{lifts his leg to kick. It becomes the curled-up tangle it was during the toon.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Onion Bubs has ever spoken.
*This is the second time, both ever and in a row, that two characters have dressed from the same series.
*This is also the second time that a character has sported two different costumes in the same Halloween Toon: Strong Sad is wearing his Grim Reaper getup on the cover of his book.
*[[wikipedia:Macabre|Macabre]] is a form of writing characterized by its grim nature and details of death.

===Remarks===
*Many characters [[fourth wall breaks|break the fourth wall]] by speaking to Strong Sad as he narrates. Marzipan does so by "misreading a cue card". Strong Bad also does so by typing what Strong Sad is narrating. Strong Sad does so by addressing the audience at the end.
*The patty on the McArby resembles that of the [[Blubb-O's|Thick 'n Nasty]].
*This cartoon does not feature an appearance by [[The Goblin]].

===Goofs===
*The Poopsmith is dressed as Darunia, but the tag at the end says that he is "King Dirunia". In addition to the spelling error, Darunia (though the leader of the Gorons) is not a king.
*Homsar's hat is dressed up for Halloween, but at the end, he is wearing his normal bowler hat.

===Inside References===
*Bubs' Concession Stand turning into Bubs's head also happened in the [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!|2005 April Fools' Day special]].
*Strong Bad's fate is [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|human hands]].
*The dooms written by Strong Sad involve the [[death]]s of several characters.
*The King Of Town's death is by [[stew]].
*Strong Sad mentions that Homsar was killed by the [[Heavy Lourde]] in [[homsar|sbemail number 2]].
*McArby is a [[portmanteau]] of [[McDonald's]] and [[Wikipedia:Arby's|Arby's]].
*Homestar has trouble [[What are you supposed to be?|identifying the costumes]].
*Strong Sad's pronunciation of "macabre" is reminiscent of his pronunciation of "baklava" in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*Strong Sad suggests that Strong Mad [[Characters being eaten|eats the Cheat]].
*The King of Town's skull image resembles the logo for [[The Municipality]].
*This toon is done in the style of the poetry of [[Edgar Allan Poe]].

===Real-World References===
[[File:Majora's Moon.png|thumb|300px|What a totally unfrustrating likeness!]]
*Strong Bad's comment about the moon falling refers to ''[[The Legend of Zelda|The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', in which, the moon would come crashing down after 3 in-game days (About 54-72 minutes real-world time, under normal conditions), causing a game over unless Link reset time using the Ocarina of Time. His comment about it being a "totally unfrustrating" manner of play refers to how this time limit and limited saving cause the gamer to rush almost constantly. The face on the moon as he says this resembles the one in that game.
*The song that Homestar sings and the Poopsmith dances to is Saria's Song from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]. In this game, the player must make Goron Chieftain Darunia dance to this song. This tune also plays in the Woods of Mystery, a place in the game [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]], in which the player is on a quest to stop the Skull Kid from destroying the world, the character Strong Bad is dressed up as.
*Marzipan says "Crystal, crystal, on the ball," a reference to the line "Magic mirror, on the wall" from [[Wikipedia: Snow White|Snow White]], which was mistakenly interpreted as "Mirror, mirror, on the wall."
*When you click on Homestar at the end of the toon, the Easter Egg wraps up with him claiming to be strong and able to kick. This, along with Homestar's costume, is a reference to Crispin Glover's 1987 appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman".
*Coach Z's Easter egg makes heavy reference to [[Wikipedia:Paula Abdul|Paula Abdul]], including her songs "[[Wikipedia:Opposites Attract|Opposites Attract]]", "Straight Up" and "Rush Rush". [[Wikipedia:MC Skat Kat|MC Skat Kat]] first appeared in the Abdul's "Opposites Attract" video.
*Strong Bad's quote "Run, Marzipan, Run" is based on the source of Marzipan's costume, the German movie ''[[Wikipedia:Run Lola Run|Run Lola Run]]''.
**Marzipan's reply, "You [[Wikipedia: Kinder Surprise|Kinder-Überraschung]]!" refers to the [[German]] confection also known as "Kinder Surprise" or "Kinder Egg".
*Bubs' Easter egg is reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]'', where his costume, Jules, originated from. Jules had a wallet saying a similar, but vulgar phrase on it.

Mechamind90: /* "Listen" */

== Norman vs. Normal ==

For the "S to the C, R O double L, my name is not Norman, but still I rock well!" rap, I always thought of it as "S to the C, R O double L, my name is not normal, but still I rock well!" If I'm the only one, then I'll shut up, but yeah. ~senor

:It's certainly Norman, because Norman Rockwell is a famous painter. It's a joke. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:28, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

::Okay, thanks. :) {{unsigned|señor|17:00, 9 April 2005 (UTC)}}

:::It could also be a referance to those old [http://www.emeraldnuts.com emerald nuts] ads, where, in one, there are two guys yelling "I am Norman and I am great! I am Norman and I am also great! I'm a greater Norman then you are!" etc. etc. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

== A long one ==

Is it me, or has the current rap been kept longer than the previous ones? -Kinsey

:Yes, it has. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:35, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

== Broken links ==

All the links to the sbemail raps on http://e2tl.playvectrex.com just come up with a "HTTP 404 Not Found" page.

These three links are the only ones that do work:
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail_lappy.swf
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.swf
http://porplemontage.com/media/sbemail_raps/Scroll%20it.swf
[[User:The Tire|The Tire]] 23:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I already changed all of these over to my mirror, problem solved.
--Kit

== Two things ==

First, the previous scroll rap link (scroll buttons and the Lappy) actually gives the present one.

Second, that mention of the Coach Z/Strong Bad rap duet being a reference to [[rampage]] is highly doubtful.. considering [[rampage]] came way after.

-- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 12:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== I know it would be hard now, but... ==

It would be cool if we had which emails the scroll button songs were active for, like for the second latest "119-130" or the latest "131-present."

Also, these shouldn't be called 'Email Raps,' they should be called 'Scroll Button Songs' or 'Scroll Button Raps' or something along those lines. [[User:señor|»ßenit, known as señor«]] 23:08, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== The newest Scroll Button Song ==

The newest scroll button song that appeared after email 131 is also the song that Marzipan sings in [[replacement]]. Strong Bad says it is the worst song ever, but apparently he uses it now. - [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== Smoking crack ==

I don't believe that Coach Z is saying anything about smoking crack in the scroll button rap duet, I *think* he is saying then you must go crash, but I could be wrong.

:I definitly hear a "sh" at the end of Coach Z's rap...besides i doubt The Brothers would put such a drug reference, especially one encouraging drug use... -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 01:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, he's saying crack. Make no mistake. For one thing, it rhymes with "attack." But the absolute proof is the fact that the Chaps changed it so quickly. Like, within a couple days. I don't know the exact time frame - could have sworn the dates used to be printed on this page.

: I think someone found TBC explicitly saying that it's "smoke crack." But he wasn't saying "must" as in "you should do this," he was saying it as in "you probably already do." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:08, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I'm just saying that if you listen to it with speakers on full tilt I hear coach z saying "crash"...then again it might just be Strong Bad begining to say "scroll"...but i still hear a soft "sh" rather than a hard "ck"... -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 23:01, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::I recommend some new speakers.

:Crack rhymes with attack. That's proof enough for me. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 23:08, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Crack=attack. That's definitley enüff prüff for me. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 20:44, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I always thought it was:
CZ: And if you're tryin' to fade me then you must smoke grass!
SB: Scroll buttons aww yeah like that heart attack.
I guess that doesn't really rhyme, but it's what it sounded like to me.

And as a side note, yes, they did not mean: "SMOKE IT!" They meant it as: "If you're making fun of me then obviosly you smoke something."
--[[User:Kit|Kit]]

crash is what I hear --[[User:Mrdude|jake]] 05:33, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:He definitely says "smoke crash," but I think that's just his accent acting up. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

Sounds like 'grass' to me. 'smoke grass' .. it doesn't rhyme, but that's what it sounds like. marginally 'better' ^_^'

I hear a "sh" and a "ck" both at the same time. {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Guys, if you have the DVD, you hear it clearly: it's "crack." 'Nuff said. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 05:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Um, I hear crash, not crack. Like "And if your trying to fade me you must smoke ''crash''." Is it just me or did someone else hear it? [[User:Doctorwho295|Doctorwho295]] April 6, 2009

Smoking crash? What does that even mean? It doesn't make sense! What this is so pointless! esides, this discussion ended years ago. Why bring it up? We already have consensus. Geez. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
== Cut off ==

In the new "scroll buttons and random" rap, a sound clip of SB saying "Wha-" can be heard at the end. The sound clip is SB saying something else, but all we hear is "Wha-".
*I think that this has more to do with your flash player than it does the scroll button rap. Sometimes, (and I have no idea why), the sound doesn't cut off when it's supposed to. You probably heard the start of one of the random.bat noises. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 11:13, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Moving Suggestion ==

I think this should be moved to "Strong Bad Scroll Button Raps". It has more relevance. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 14:59, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Super Sam. --[[User:69.40.181.52|69.40.181.52]] 15:04, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't logged in. ''I'' agree with Super Sam --[[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]] 15:06, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I hear no objections, so I'll move it. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:35, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:What is it called in the DVD? (If they call it something...) Anyway, I'm fine either way. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

It would be nice to know why you object. (Some HSR themed username and Lapper) To me, Email Raps are the things Strong Bad says at the start of each email. Scroll Button Raps/Songs/Whatever are the things Strong Bad says on the menu page. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:53, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:'''Update:''' Alright, following Joshua's suggestion, I looked at the DVD page. ([[strongbad_email.exe_Disc_One]]) It says this:

:<blockquote>Scroll Button Songs: A video featuring every scroll button rap up until the "S to the C" rap.</blockquote>

== Top H*R Listen button & Firefox ==

For most of my browsing I use firefox, and firefox gives you an interesting feature: it puts the site icons next to some of the links placed in this wiki (if you use firefox or netscape you'll know what i'm talking about, if you use IE or Opera you won't see anything). For the longest time I thought this was a feature of the wiki -- that it automatically added these sprites into the HTML code. I found out that it doesn't when I surfed this page. Ok -- on to my point in this page. If you surf this page with firefox, the first "Listen" button is shifted to the left because of the icon, and so it crossed the table boundaries, looking not-so-good! IE and opera do not do this, as I mentioned earlier, and so they look fine and line up fine.
:*Does anybody have an explanation as to why Firefox does this with this site
:*Does anyone have good suggestions as to making that table look good in both Firefox and IE (other than the one i thought of which was to make that column bigger).

:By the way, it isn't Firefox inserting the icons. The Wiki does insert them by itself, but only certain browsers (i.e. Firefox) can see them.

== Main page updates ==

When the song is updated, I think it should be listed as "New Scroll Button Song" Instead of rap, because they haven't been raps for the past few times anyway, and it will be more correct.--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 21:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

a link to the (current) second scroll button song?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 05:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:See below. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== Audio / Video of other scroll button songs ==
I see no one got the swf of the other scroll button songs. I have a video of them in avi format (and the audio in mp3 format). Should I post them online so that they can be linked from here? [[User:DrWorm|DrWorm]]

:Hmm... I don't see any problem with that. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

== HRWiki Mirror ==
Can we get HRWiki mirrors for every old scroll button song possible? Similar to the one featured in [[If I Ran the Camera]]? That way it'd be neater, more secure, and updated so people can listen to ones like the Rando song. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:13, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
:[[If I Ran the Camera]] is kind of a special case in the fact that this is (or at least was at the time of creation) the only mirror for the toon. We don't want to start mirroring everything in our little wiki. I'm pretty sure our links to mirror websites are more than enough in this case. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[http://home.comcast.net/~alanweiss3/dwedit/files/ifiranthecamera.html Original mirror of If I Ran the Camera.] So... that arguement isn't really true, as the HRWiki mirror came from that one. And I don't trust these mirror sites too much as they seem to have stopped updating. (So they might go offline at any moment, I think.) But I guess I'm fine with them. But what about the modern scroll button song that has no mirror? Are we going to make one for that? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
:Oh you're right. Sorry about that. My bad. You make a pretty good case. Alright, I'm behind you, but you gotta get the vote of an admin too, to upload around a dozen toon mirrors. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:You're right, the same thing happens to me. I wonder if there are other cases where Flash does this. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== No SB and song during vacation ==

I think that the fact that Strong Bad's "Scroll buttons, what is UP?" quote should have ended upon the release of [[vacation]], and I find that Strong Bad's presence during that email is questionable. So why not replace the end date (which is the date before the release of [[invisibility]]) with the date ''before'' the release of vacation?

All I'm sayin' is, Strong Bad wasn't here in the vacation menu.

== Scrolling up high and down low ==

Okay, my last guess would be to provide an [[Wikipedia:Internet Archive|Internet Archive]] Wayback Machine copy of the last scroll button song. But until someone provides something to the mirror, this is all I have. And it's to listen to, not browse existing emails.

That grunt at the end of the current (August 13, 2007) song reminds me a lot of Jimi Hendrix's style. Does anyone also think so, and think it's notable enough? --[[User:Dandin1|Dandin1]] 01:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I think your right. I guess thats notable.

== Mirror Glitch ==

Every mirror starting with the [[highschool]] song lists [[portrait]] as the newest email. (As well as the 1 before that, but that's not a problem) Is this intentional? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:29, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
:And if it was intentional, why do the mirrors of these songs leave out the newest emails at their last time of use? How did you remove those emails from the list? What do Strong Bad's parents look like? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
::Okay, in case you guys don't understand my posts, let me try to give an example. I'll use the "I scroll it up high, you scroll it down low," song since it was the 1 being used when I 1st got into Sbemails.

== Mash play on that jambox! ==

"The August 13th, 2007 song is the only one to include music, and the sound of the enter button is different."

After about the fifth time, I realized that might actually be the sound of hitting play on a tape player. In fact I'm fairly certain it is, since the enter key doesn't sound like that in the last couple emails. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 17:44, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{Open to a view of the Cheat Commandos base. Firearms are heard going off and the Commandos are laughing offscreen. The title "Two Part Episode: Part One!!" appears, with "Written with a vengeance by [[A. Chimendez]]". Cut inside to the Commandos. Fightgar is holding a gun and Gunhaver is wearing a vest with dents in it.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Ha ha ha! That was awesome! ''{Takes off vest}'' Here, now someone else put on the bullet-proof vest!

''{A klaxon with the tune of Westminster Quarters [a doorbell tune] sounds, and the Cheat Commandos begin to scramble. The screen is shown, with the words "Doorbell alert!"}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Doorbell stations! Prepare to pretend we're not here, sign for a package, or receive pizza! ''{Moves closer to the camera}'' Let's move, C. C.dos!

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{confused}'' "C. C.dos"? Wouldn't just "C.C.s" be shorter, and make more sense?

''{Gunhaver grabs Silent Rip by the vest.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Making sense is ''not'' part of my mission plan, soldier! I'm sticking with the "do".

''{Cut to the front door. It opens, revealing Flashfight.}''

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I can't believe I'm seeing this sight. Why if it isn't Admiral Flashfight!

'''GUNHAVER:''' To what do we owe the pleasure, admiral?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' I'm here to clean up your act, Cheat Commandos. The Bureau of Elite Fighting Forces ''{holds up a "'''B'''ureau of '''E'''lite '''F'''ighting '''F'''orces" badge}'', or "BEEF", is not impressed with your—

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{interrupting}'' Uh, that's "BEFF".

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Alright, the Bureau of ''Every'' Elite Fighting Force, is not—

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{interrupting again}'' That's "BEEFF". ''{exaggerates the last F}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Yes, and what is your name, soldier?

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{saluting}'' Silent Rip, sir!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Thank you, Smiley Drip. You're fired.

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{nervously}'' Uh, good call, sir. That guy was always ''way'' too concerned with acronyms. Who else can we fire?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Well, ''you'', of course.

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Me''? But then ''{pulls out his gun}'' who will have gun?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{taking the gun}'' I will!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{shaking}'' Buh-buh-buh.... Wuh-wuh-wuh? Zuh-zuh-zuh...

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' You're allowed to stand there stammering for fifteen more minutes ''{two Green Helmets walk up beside Gunhaver}'' and then you will be escorted out by Green Helmets.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Have you no dignity? At least let a Cheat Commanding Officer be escorted out by someone who isn't available in a discount three pack.

''{Cut to a product shot of a discount three pack of Green Helmet toys. The Cheat Commandos theme plays in the background. Then cut back to the headquarters.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' My first act as new head of Cheat Commandos will be... to arrest Blue Laser!

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Oh, I'd ''love'' to see how you're gonna pull ''that'' one off.

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Well, it appears ''you'' all have invited him over to play televised video games.

''{Cut to the Blue Laser Commander, sitting in a beanbag, pressing buttons on a controller. Videogame music plays in the background.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What kind of power-up is "moist beam"?

''{Cut back to the commandos. Fightgar is standing in front of Flashfight, holding a gun.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' You're under arrest, Blue Laser!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I thought we called a time-out!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Throw him in the brig!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh, you mean Reynold's office?

''{Blue Laser is thrown into a small room, completely empty except for a toilet leaking green sludge. An emaciated Reynold walks in.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Well, hello! Are you here to bring me the slightest morsel?

''{A prison door shuts in front of both of them. Cut back to the main room.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Blue Laser in jail? I can't believe what I'm seein'! It's almost got my pants a-peein'! Hoo hoo! Hah! Hweigh Hweigh!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Oh right, I nearly forgot. You're ''definitely'' fired.

''{Sad reaction shot from Crackotage. Cut to the outside of the headquarters, as Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage walk out.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Well, I guess this is it, huh guys?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Forget that noise! Who needs the Cheat Commandos anyway? We'll start our ''own'' elite fighting force!

''{The Cheat Commandos theme plays as the three march off screen. The theme then abruptly stops with a record scratch as we cut to Gunhaver and Silent Rip in a kitchen, wearing white hats with pictures of pizza on them.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{leaning in}'' Drop two more orders of wings for table four!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Comin' up!

''{Close up on Gunhaver, who is reading the "Commando Obsoiver" newspaper. The headline is "Cheat Commandos Actually Doing Stuff".}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{reading angrily}'' "Cheat Commandos save bus full of hostages". "Air drop relief supplies to refugees". "Build orphanage". What type of crap is that?

''{Reynold's brother leans in, wearing a "Mr. Manager" badge, and three pizza hats on various spikes of his hairdo.}''

'''REYNOLD'S BROTHER:''' Get back to work, Charles.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Stupid old man Reynold's younger brother. Who needs him anyway? We'll start our ''own'' restaurant!

''{Cut to a storefront, with a sign reading "Kitchen Commandos". The Cheat Commandos theme plays again.}''

'''SINGER:''' Kitchen Commandos, a really bad idea. It closed down after three months!

''{Pan down to street level. Signs in the windows of the shop read "we are CLOSED!" and "thank you neighborhood for 3 glorious months!". Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage are standing sadly on the street.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Well, whatta we do now?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There's only one thing ''to'' do. In order to show the C. C.dos how much they need us, we're going to bust Blue Laser out of jail!

''{Suspenseful music sting. Cut to the brig, with Reynold and the Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ...and they never let me go on any missions.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ouch, man. I hear that. Ever thought about Blue Lasin' it?

''{The Blue Laser Commander pulls out a pamphlet, with the cover "So, They Never Let You Go On Any Missions... BL Can Help!"}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thoughtfully}'' Hmmm...

== Transcript==
''{The title screen appears, with the words "A Death-Defying Decemberween", a helmet, and some holly. Cut to a snow-covered field, where a group of characters is standing, all dressed in winter attire. Strong Bad enters from the side, carrying some hot chocolate with a few marshmallows inside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hot choco, everyone! Hope it's not too... late! Choco? Late? Choco-late? Huh?

'''BUBS:''' What a cut-up!

'''COACH Z:''' A real ham!

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE FIFTIES!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, Strong Bad! What a wonderful byproduct of your parole!

''{She takes a cup. Then, Homestar enters from the side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Pssh! Whatever! That's not death-defying entertainment, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I wasn't talking about... Hot chocolate, I was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! This Decemberween, I, homestarrunner.com, will attempt to sled down... the Steep Deep!

''{Cut to a shot of the Steep Deep, a mountain with a slope at an extreme angle}''

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''COACH Z:''' The Steep Deep! No one's ever been brave-slash-boneheaded enough to try and conquer that monster!

'''BUBS:''' You'll break your face into an unrecognizable clump!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, dog! No way, Bubs! My face doesn't know the meaning of "unrecognizable clump"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about the rest of you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll ask them later. ''{leans in toward Strong Bad}'' Just mark your calendars! Pre-game starts at twelve, kickoff's set for 12:30. ''{leaps into the air}'' Death-defying entertainment! ''{"tainment" echoes a few times}''

''{the scene cuts to the title card, now showing an image of Homestar's jump}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to Homestar Runner's Death-Defying Decemberween Special.

''{applause. The scene fades into a set for a decorated home. Homestar stands in front of the piano. He is wearing a jacket and tie, and has a pipe in his mouth. Bubs' arm can be scene through the window, periodically throwing snow}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{takes the pipe out}'' Oh, hi! I didn't see you come in. ''{sets the pipe on the piano}'' Sure is cold out there. Would you like a cup of hot jones? ''{produces a steamy mug filled with white liquid and red sprinkles and hands it to the viewer's point of view}''

'''AUDIENCE MEMBERS:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh! Ooh!

'''MAN:''' ''{off screen}'' Hot ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's better.

''{The camera swings around to the side, revealing Coach Z's arm holding the mug, which quickly moves out of the shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{begins walking, and a wall calendar comes into view. It reads: December 24 "The D'weeve, yo!"}'' You know, nothing says "Decemberween" like death-defying entertainment. That's why, this Decemberween I'm going to attempt to sled down the Steep Deep.

'''AUDIENCE MEMBERS:''' ''{collective gasps}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{ducks down, then pops up closer to the camera}'' I might could die. ''{the audience laughs}''

''{the doorbell rings}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder who that could be?

''{the door swings open, revealing Bubs, who is carrying a cardboard box with a bow on it. The audience laughs and cheers as Bubs waves.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hey, Homestar! You didn't tell me you were having a holiday special over tonight!

''{the audience laughs. Homestar and Bubs also fake laughter. Coach Z's arm can now be seen throwing snow outside the window.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Come on in, Bubs. Care to stick around for some soft focus and sparkle filters?

'''BUBS:''' I'd love to! ''{a wreath frames the scene, which goes out of focus and sparkles appear, all accompanied by a small harp strum}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, Bubs! Say, Bubs! What's in the package?

'''BUBS:''' ''{walks over to the piano, where Homestar is}'' Well, open it up!

''{Homestar takes the box and opens it, pulling out a small sled}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gee whiz! ''{audience oohs and ahhs}'' A brand new sleddin' board! That's what I needed for the Steep Deep!

'''BUBS:''' And I pre-printed an epitaph on there, ''{camera shows the epitaph on the sled, which reads: "Here Lies Homestar Runner.com Death-Fying Entertainer <strike>and Father of Six</strike>"}'' so it can double as a gravestone in case you don't make it! ''{audience laughs}''

''{camera zooms in on Homestar, who groans long and loud}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{mouth wiggles}'' Gulp! ''{audience laughs}''

''{cut to the Brothers' Strong's Basement, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch in front of the TV}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a crock-pot full of smaller crock-pots! ''I'' should be the one sitting on a flimsy holiday-themed set on a soundstage promoting ''my'' upcoming daredevilry! ''{dejectedly}'' Stupid conditions of my parole!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{leaps off the couch}'' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{begins to walk off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where d'you think ''you're'' going?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' A previous engagement? Since when do you talk like that?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs his gloves together}'' This is very unsuspicious behavior for The Cheat. Which, of course, makes it ''very'' suspicious! As soon as I finish this cup of hot jones, ''{grabs the mug sitting next to him}'' I'm gonna find out what he's up to. ''{Strong Bad slurps noisily from the mug}'' Oh. That's good jones.

''{iris to a shot at the foot of the Steep Deep at night. Strong Bad sneaks in from the left and ducks behind a bush}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{peers out from behind the bush}'' What the crap?

''{over-the-shoulder shot from behind Strong Bad, revealing Homestar and The Cheat dumping snow on a mattress}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, The Cheat. ''{sets shovel down}'' Now, you're sure no one will see this buried here when I sled down?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, man. I own you big time for this one. ''{begins shoveling again}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, The Cheat's helping Homestar the cheat, eh? I wonder what would happen without that mattress there... ''{scratches his chin}'' Hmm...

''{scene fades out}''

''{record scratch. Scene immediately brightens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Homestar would probably die! I gotta go move it!

''{scene fades out again}''

''{Another record scratch. Scene immediately brightens again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was really wondering for a second there.

''{scene cuts to the next day, where the crowd is gathered in front of the Steep Deep.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover; over loudspeaker}'' Ladies and gentlemen, here he is! ''{cut to a long shot of the Steep Deep, where Homestar is perched precariously on top}'' The man that's about to do a thing! Homestar Runner!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm not very good at speeches...! ''{slight echo}''

''{long, expectant pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leans forward and sleds down the hill}'' WAAAAAH! ''{continues screaming throughout}''

''{silhouetted shot of Homestar sledding down the incline.}''

''{several rapidly changing shots of a blurry Homestar speeding down the hill, and of the shocked expressions of the crowd. The shots get closer and change more quickly until it cuts back to the silhouetted shot, where Homestar reaches the bottom of the hill, flips 90 degrees, and lands gently, with a small ding. Triumphant fanfare.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{waving arms wildly}'' He made it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{surprised}'' I made it!?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{also surprised}'' He made it?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around, then gets up}'' ''{angrily}'' The Cheat! What happened to my mattress filled with hammers, broken glass, and candy canes sucked down 'til they're all pointy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, that mattress was full of danger? Why would you want to land on something like that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{walking up}'' All right, Homestar! It's time to go to my parents' house for Decemberween brunch!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dully sarcastic}'' Oh, the joy and the glory. ''{angrily}'' Because I ''safely'' made it down the Steep Deep, ''{dully sarcastic again}'' I get to spend another Decemberween with Mrs. Marzipan and her latest husband.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{walking away}'' Seth is having some of his philosophy department colleagues over again this year. ''{Homestar hangs his head and walks off with her}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grinning widely}'' Have fun, Homestar! ''{waves}'' Thanks for the death-defying entertainment! ''{turns to The Cheat}'' I gotta give Homestar credit. Using ridiculously elaborate schemes involving ''{pulls out the pipe}'' bone-curdling injuries to avoid spending time with family ''{the piano backdrop lowers into place}'' is the kind of Decemberween tradition I can get behind. ''{wreath frame appears}'' ''{pulls out a plank of wood with some nails stuck in it}'' Now work me over with this two-by-four before we have to go to Great Gamaw's again. ''{tosses the plank to The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{rears back with the plank, as the soft focus and sparkle filters reappear with the harp flourish}''

''{cut to a black screen reading "The End." just as the plank hits Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OW! ''{the audience laughs}''

''{cut to Homestar and Marzipan (partly out of frame) seated in wooden chairs. Homestar is once again wearing his suit and tie, and still wearing the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{faking laughter}'' Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho. ''{dully sarcastic}'' Brown sweater. ''{holds up the sweater}'' It's like you read my mind. ''{turns}'' And my compliments to the chef. The food was atrocious.

''{cut back to the "The End." screen, which now also has a "back" button}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Parole is a court-approved early release from prison on certain conditions specified by the court. Violation of these conditions mean the person in question is returned to prison to complete their sentence
*An epitaph is a message printed or engraved into a gravestone explaining the person's achievements.

===Trivia===
*You can hear one of the audience screaming "[[Onion Bubs]]" (a reference to the email [[original]]) when Bubs enters the TV show set.
*[[The Stick]] is seen stuck in the head of the snowman at the beginning.

===Remarks===
*Homestar Runner wears brown [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] during his televised [[Decemberween]] special.
*Homestar and Marzipan head over to her [[parents|parents']] house at the end.

===Goofs===
*While sledding down the Steep Deep, Homestar Runner appears to be tilting backwards when the screen pans out to a silhouette of the hill, both as he starts to move down the hill and as he lands, although he is seen sitting up in the sled during his multiple high-speed close-ups between the two times that the silhouette of the hill is shown.
*The epitaph cannot be seen on the sled after it is shown on the TV show set.
*On the TV show set, Homestar Runner's outfit buttons left side over right, but while presumably wearing the same outfit sitting next to Marzipan at the end of the toon, it buttons right side over left. Men's shirts usually button left side over right.
*After Coach Z pulled the Jones off screen during Homestar Runner's televised special, Homestar's Jacket shading becomes lighter than the actual Jacket.

===Inside References===

Dangeresque 3 Mini-Site

Mechamind90 — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:23:24 GMT

Mechamind90: Two omitted states in disclaimer

[[Image:D3tcp-site.png|300px|thumb|"Shut up! We're rolling!"]]

The '''Dangeresque 3 Mini-Site''' is a promotional site similar to that of promotional movie sites.

'''Date:''' Tuesday, November 11, 2008

'''Page Title:''' Strong Bad presents Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective

==Site Content==
===Introductory Transcript===
''{The camera starts recording, and the lenses start to focus, revealing it to be the Basement of The Brothers Strong. The camera pans over to Homestar (as Dangeresque Too), Strong Bad (as Dangeresque), and Coach Z (as Renaldo) facing the camera's general direction , with a drawn fire on a piece of cardboard behind them. The Cheat and Marzipan are visible for a brief period of time during the pan. Homestar is holding up a sign for Dangeresque 3, slightly smiling. He walks in place and shakes the sign.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Puts his hands on his hips, and looks over to his right; our left, looking at Homestar}'' What are you doing?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Somewhat whisperingly}'' Shut up! ''{Homestar loses his smile, and Coach Z raises his arms}'' We're rolling!

''{Strong Bad shakes his head. The lights turn off. With a heard click.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Still shaking his head, but stops shortly after}'' Here we go!

''{Homestar starts walking in place and Coach Z gets into a walking stance. Shortly afterward a flash occurs, revealing the three, walking in place in front of an actual fire, from what appears to be from an explosion. All the characters are silhouettes. Homestar is not holding the sign anymore, and fire can be seen through the Dangeresque glasses. While all of this occurs, a Dangeresque musical sting plays followed by a loop of the theme. The episode logo appears in the top-right, and menu items appear angled on the bottom, along with two links to the side.}''

===Gameplay Videos===
There are two videos thumbnailed that will bring up a video on the page if clicked, one to the [[Dangeresque 3 Gameplay Clips]], and one blank slot labeled "Coming Soon".

===Meet the Cast===

They are separated every three characters. These are sorted from left to right appearance.

====[[Dangeresque]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Strong Bad as Dangeresque in front of the [[Gremlin]]. He has his arms stretched and against the front of the car, and he is standing by his heels.}'' 
A crooked cop (and private investigator) out to 
kick butt and take names. Played by Strong Bad, 
he's an action hero to put the rest to shame.
</blockquote>

====[[Renaldo]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Coach Z as Renaldo is shown talking to Strong Bad (Dangeresque), who is visible in the bottom-right corner. He has his hands on his hips and is right by the window.}'' 
Dangeresque's partner, played by Coach Z. With 
just two weeks until retirement, can he stay alive 
long enough to ride off into the sunset?
</blockquote>

====[[Dangeresque Too]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Homestar Runner as Dangeresque Too is shown in the field, zoomed in on his head. Homestar himself is in the center-left of the shot.}'' 
Dangeresque's sometime other partner, played by 
Homestar Runner. Can he be trusted? 
</blockquote>

====[[Cutesy Buttons]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Marzipan as Cutesy Buttons is shown in the holding a beaker}'' 
The quintessential damsel in distress (much to 
Marzipan's chagrin). Will she and Dangeresque 
ride off into the sunset, or does he have his eye 
on someone else...?
</blockquote>

====[[Perducci]] and [[Killingyouguy]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of both of them, Strong Mad as Killingyouguy, and The King of Town as Perducci, from left to right, is shown. Perducci appears that he's about to start dealing cards.}'' 
A criminal mastermind who has crossed Dangeresque 
before and his dimwitted bodyguard, played by the 
King of Town and Strong Mad. The conniving 
Perducci throws a wrench in Dangeresque's plans, 
backed up by 900 pounds of pure evil henchman.
</blockquote>

====[[The Informant]]====
<blockquote>
''{A general picture of Strong Sad as The Informant is shown. The sun is setting in the background.}'' 
A mysterious do-gooder with an unrecognizable 
accent. Played by Strong Sad, the Informant aids 
Dangeresque in his worldwide trek.

===About Dangeresque 3===
''{The transparent version of the infamous picture of Strong Bad as Dangeresque with the [[Nunchuck Gun]] is shown to the right. The proceeding text is to the left}''
<blockquote>
About Dangeresque 3 
After five years of procrastination, building sets out of old 
fridge boxes, and "creative differences," Strong Bad had finally 
completed the filming of his magnum opus, Dangeresque 3: The 
Criminal Projective.
 
Join Strong Bad and his friends for the movie event of the year. 
This time, you don't just get to watch it—you get to play it!
 
You play Dangeresque, a dirty cop in pursuit of glory, justice 
(sort of) and big sacks of cash. When a simple job to recover a 
long-lost formula goes wrong, Dangeresque must save the world 
from the diabolical plans of an unhinged madman. Can he stay 
alive long enough to complete his action-packed epic? Looks 
like he's gonna have to jump...

Mechamind90: /* Splitsville */

== Name of article ==

There's something not-quite-right about the title. Looking closely at various articles and dictionaries, I think the name of this page should either be [http://www.bartleby.com/61/91/P0459100.html portmanteau words] or [[Wikipedia:Blend (linguistics)|blends]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
:According to [[Wikipedia:Portmanteau]]<blockquote>"Portmanteau word" was the original phrase used to describe such words (as listed in dictionaries published as late as the early 1990s), but this has since been abbreviated to simply "portmanteau" as the term (and the type of words it describes) gained popularity.</blockquote>{{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:26, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
::Hmm, I see. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:33, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

== Duplication? ==

== Unportant? ==

Is this simply a truncation of "unimportant", or is it a form of portmanteau? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

== Appletini ==

:I don't think that Appletini should count. It's already a portmanteau in the real world, not invented for H*R. [[User:Elvis|Elvis]]

::I agree. I order Appletinis on a regular basis; and it's not "unique to the HR universe" as the list would have us believe. [[User:Cyndentia|Cyndentia]]

== Piemonade ==

I think piemonade should be on this list.

== Order? ==

The portmanteaus on this page appear to be in a rather random order, unless I'm missing something. If I'm not, could we agree on an order to use? Alphabetical seems most logical to me, although I suppose we could go chronological by appearance. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

:On most pages I'd go with chronological order, but it may take too much time as old ones seem to pop up from time to time. Alphabetic order with a good ol' horizontal TOC. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

:Done'd. Copypaste is an easy way not to screw up the format. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Thanks! [[User:4kai2lyn6|kai lyn]] 01:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== Tmesis - include? ==

As examples of tmesis are included here regularly, and as they and portmanteaus are lexicographically related, ought we open this page to tmesis, as [[Acronyms and Initialisms]] is open to both? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
:It sure beats removin' them each time. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::The question is whether this opens a Pandora's box. Are there other constructions which are similar to portmanteau and tmesis which might be offered? Which would be a better title: "Portmanteaus and Tmeses" or "Portmanteu and similar words"? Or other? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
:::I'd say they're all neologisms(although I think this has been argued and defeated previously . . . here at least): portmanteau, tmesis, conflations, minced oaths, newspeak, humorous mispronunciations, and arguably even eponyms can all fall under that catagory. - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 03:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

==Portmanteaux==

Where did that spelling come from? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 17:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
:The French. "Portmanteau" is a French word, after all. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

== Pretendous ==

The article says pretendous is a portmanteau of pretend and tremendous. I've always thought it was pretend and '''pretentious''', which makes more sense in the context both times it is used (for reference, see [[Fan Costume Commentary]] and [[extra plug]] (easter egg)). I'd make the change myself, but everything I do ultimately turns out to be wrong, so I'll scrape up some feedback first. [[User:16BitJorge|16BitJorge]] 01:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

:I dunno... it seems like both tremendous and pretentious are pretty much synonymous... So, Ima go with tremendous, because it's the entire word "pretend", and then then "dous" of tremendous that get meshed together at the D. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

:: No, ''tremendous'' and ''pretentious'' are absolutely not synonyms; have a look at a dictionary. In the electricity bill and squirrel-pumpkin-gnawing (yikes, talk about hapax legomena) bill context , ''pretentious'' makes no sense. [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 17:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::I would actually go with a portmanteau of "Pretentious" and "Tremendous". "Pretend" makes no sense here, the bill is real. But "[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pretentious?r=75 pretentious]" can mean "exaggerated", which this bill certainly is. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::: Um, I don't think a bill from a squirrel-staffed pumpkin-gnawing service properly qualifies as "real"... "Pretend" may for that reason sort of make some sense here (the main argument against it would seem to be that it's not very funny, and I have come to expect Very Funniness), but for the reasons I already explained, "pretentious" definitely doesn't make sense. But who knows, maybe Messers Chaps themselves are confused about its meaning. I think the best explanation is that it's a 4-way portmanteau of "prepubescent", "tenterhook", "endive", and "semi-porous". [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 13:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

== Shinoligans ==

Seems to me like shenanigans and [[Wikipedia:Hooligan|hooligans]] (deceitful confidence trick plus unruly and destructive behavior) would make more sense than the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Portmanteaus&oldid=431029 current version}} of [[Wikipedia:Shinola|shinola]] and shenanigans (shoe polish plus deceitful confidence trick). Especially based on [[Quote of the Week#QW-2007-03-15|quote's context]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The context of the quote does not support your theory, Tom. The word "shinola" makes more sense because of the context it is used in. "Hooligan" usually refers to a person. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:People on Homestar Runner often mispronounce words such as several [[Foreign Words]]. I sill think shinoligans was just Crack Stuntman mispronouncing shenanigans. He keeps on mispronouncing the character he the the voice of ([[Gunhaver]]). This is just a big mis pronounciation. [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 21:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
::I think Tom's theory fits the context better, as there's no reason I know of for "shinola" to be mentioned here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
:::I don't think either theory fits. If the portmanteau was "shenanigans" and "hooligans", they probably would have pronounced "shin" as rhyming with "bin" or "win". {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm sure you're right, but it seems like people are unaware of the significance of 'Shinola' .... a quick trip to wikipedia will make it clear why that word's in the common parlance.
:::::And in said case, I've heard "shinola" substituted for the four-letter word in that case. And all you have to do is look at the pronunciation. SHY-noligans. Proof right there. You think it's shenanigans and hooligans? The evidence that you're wrong is right in the pronunciation. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

== Sbemail ==

Shouldn't sbemail be on this list? [[User:74.112.119.229|74.112.119.229]] 17:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

-No, because it's not a portmanteau. All it is is a combination of Strong Bad's initials (not a word) and the word email. It has to be a two word combo for it to be a portmantau. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Europa-pean ==

Does this really belong on the list? Europa-pean would seem to be a standalone word to describe a person (or lobster) from Europa. Europapean isn't really a portmanteau of Europa and European any more than "Irish" is a portmanteau of Ireland and English. -[[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 03:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
:I'm rather skeptical of that claim. While I admit I don't know the adjective for Europa (it's so tempting to use ''europäisch''!), I really doubt it would be "Europa-pean" (what noun adds "pean" to become an adjective?) Thus, I'm still fairly sure Europa-pean is an artificial word, namely, a portmanteau of "Europa" and "European". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

::While I'm not sure that it's a portmanteau, it's definitely not as legit as "Irish". By the way, 'Kipedia uses "Europan" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_%28moon%29#Surface_features].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
:::"Europa-pean" (or Europapean) may seem artificial simply because we rarely (if ever) have to refer to anything from Europa, let alone a lobster. (Or person.) I'm still inclined to think it's not a proper portmanteau.

On second thought, if "The Big Wiki" uses Europan, I'm more inclined to think of Europapean as a portmanteau, even though it seems like a misunderstanding of a somewhat obscure word than a proper portmanteau. (BTW, I wrote the first part of this, hit submit, and edit-conflicted with Loafing. This second line was added after reading that remark.

-[[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 05:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Disagree, the lobster is from Europa, and Strong Bad thinks something from Europa is Europa-pean. Not a portmanteau of Europa and European. --[[User:86.12.232.113|86.12.232.113]] 17:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:But ''why'' would SB think that something from Europa is "Europa-pean" ''except'' by analogy to "European"? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

:: Has to be a portmanteau, because where else does the ''p'' in the ''-pean'' part come from? The usual form of the suffix on its own is ''-ean'' (''Manichean'', ''Herculean'', etc.) That's why the ''Irish'' example from Almsfothepudgy doesn't work; ''Europa-'''p'''ean'' would be analogous to ''Ire'''l'''ish''. [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 17:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Shelikescloth, please note that this discussion is over a year old, and that Europapean is on the page already. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

:::: Sure, I just wanted to clarify the matter lest the argument start up again, since the participants seemed to have missed the crucial point... [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 17:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

==your funeral==
When Strong Bad says "leotarded" in reference to Strong Sad, is that "leotard" and "retarded" or is it just the adjectival form of the word "leotard"? [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 06:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
I think it would just be the adjective.

:This is rather late, but I think he just means that his brother slapped a leotard on him. You know, like clothed. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

== Gewdy gewdy gamdroops ==

I don't think "Gewd" Should be in the list. Strongbad isn't trying to combine good and ew.
He's just saying "Good" weird.
:When [[User:Jay|Jay]] added that one, he used an edit summary of ''I'm just goin' by the DVD commentary on this one... In fact, one of the brothers (couldn't be bothered to keep track which) actually uses the word "Portmanteau"''. I don't have the DVD yet so I can't comment. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 04:32, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
::The fallacy of authorial intent: that they intended it to be a portmanteau doesn't mean that it actually is... but I say hey, leave it on, no harm. [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 17:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

==Fanstuff Captions==
Many, many portmanteaus can be found as captions of the fanstuff from varying years. From 2007: homsunami, treggdor, yolkinator, stained glasstar. From 2006: trogapult, monstrositea, knitdor. From 2005: cheatpod, homestarbeque, soapstar, trogsaic, trogstitch. From 2004: legogdor, legomestar. (And others.) Clearly these have been labeled by TBC, but do they count as "unique to the Homestar Runner universe" if they aren't spoken/written by a ''character'' in the Homestar Runner universe? Opinions? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
:The sheer volume of the examples indicates it's a favorite style of TBC. I'm all for listing them. Perhaps they should be set apart from the main list. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:14, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
::After looking over the sketchbooks, it seems there are billions there, too. I'm unsure of the best way to set them apart. Separate tables? Someone can beat me to it; I prefer minor edits anyway. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
:::No one beat me to it, so I did it. Improvements welcome! {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

==Whodunnit?==
Okay, what we don't have is a "Who?" column. With the amount of portmanteaus that are listed, I think it would interest people to know who is saying each of them without having to go into each individual page to find out. It would also confirm the statement that "Strong Bad, especially, frequently creates portmanteaus." Anyone agree? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
*Might get complicated with some of the more popular portmanteaus such as "burninate". [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
::Except that portmanteaus are only listed once each, so the source would be the first character to use it. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

==Random Q's==
(1) I know this was my edit, but I'm thinking the subtitle '''Portmanteaus Used By Characters''' is a bit inaccurate with some of the entries. Againymore is not used by any character. Blistergeist is the name of a game Strong Bad found, not a word ''he'' just chose to use. I can't think of an alternative subtitle unless we combine the tables and just call the whole thing '''Portmanteaus'''. Any ideas? (2) Are appeteasers and dudeical really considered "unique to the Homestar Runner universe"? (3) At the moment, there is no consistency in capitalization. For the most part, the first word is capitalized and the second word isn't unless it's a proper noun (e.g. "Dad and babysitter", "Cheat and Pikachu"). I'm for capitalizing both in all cases so as not to give more importance to any one word over another - any arguments? (4) Is TWII really a portmanteau of three words? It could be of Two and Wii, or Three and Wii (seems more likely based on pronunciation), but of Two, Three, ''and'' Wii? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
:(1) [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Portmanteaus&diff=512171&oldid=512162&rcid=468576 done] (2) i think so, i've never heard them before. (3) i say capitalize the first and proper nouns. (4) no i think it's one or the other, and i'm inclined to say 3, given that it's just "three" with a speech impediment. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
::(1) I thought about '''In Toons''' also; I guess [[Email]] kinda counts as a toon. I'm a bit in doubt about that, plus the general differentiation among Toons, Games, Sbemails, etc. But for now, I think it's better than what we had. (2) See [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Appeteasers Appeteasers]. And Dudeical (also spelled Dudical) also produces many Google results, but not as many as I expected; my guess is that people realize it looks strange in print and opt for a different word. Either way, it clearly existed well before H*R came around (unlike burninate, dadbysitter, bubsness, etc.). Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing others' opinions on these topics as well. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

==Gymatorium==

Gymatorium is definitely not unique to the H*R universe; many schools have a gym that is also used as an auditorium. My elementary school had a gymatorium, with that word on the sign above the entrance. Google also returns quite a few results. — [[User:70.110.22.198|70.110.22.198]] ([[User talk:70.110.22.198|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/70.110.22.198|contribs]]) 04:54, 2 January 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])
:Well, whether it is unique or not, it is still a combination of two words, thus still making it a Portmanteau. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 06:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
::The page states "This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.", however. Personally, I don't mind getting rid of that line though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

== Fangly ==

Is fangly really fang and ugly?
I thought it had something to do with Angler fish...
{{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 14:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:Angler fish are rather ugly, you must admit. I do see your point though. [[User:EASports|EASports]] 02:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::My first thought when I heard it, I thought "dangly"... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:34, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Than maybe it's a portmanteaus of "dangly" and fang"? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 01:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:I removed it for the time being. The connection with angler fish seems most likely, but I can't really fit it into the portmanteau convention easily (and there are the previously mentioned alternate possibilites).[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 02:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== Splitsville ==

I think putting the portmanteaus from the sbemails into their own section would be a good idea. Thoughts? [[User:EASports|EASports]] 02:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe... although most of them are from sbemails anyways so it wouldn't really add anything to the article. anybody else have thoughts? (Nice subject line by the way.) --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 01:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't this just be a mispronounciation/mispelling of deliverance? Is it really a portmanteau? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 01:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== Gunkistan ==

The page currently lists this as a portmanteau of Gun and Pakistan. I think (given the low quality of the products it produces) that it is more likely a portmanteau of 'Gunk' and '-stan', probably Pakistan (like we did for Geographist). Any thoughts? {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 05:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP section? ==

Well, I'm guessing that deathtiny is a portmanteaus. Death and Destiny. Concur?

== I'm afraid your logic has fizzled ==

I'm gonna have to challenge "fizzleweight"s origin. It's clearly a mispronunciation (probably intentional, for the sake of being derisive) of "sizzleweight," the actual name of the title. "Sizzleweight" in turn is not a true portmanteau because it refers not to any particular weight division, but all of them in general. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 20:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

== Toe-fu ==

According to the article on Dangeresque 3 for SBCG4AP, there is a possible portmanteau of toe and tofu.

The portmanteaus on this page appear to be in a rather random order, unless I'm missing something. If I'm not, could we agree on an order to use? Alphabetical seems most logical to me, although I suppose we could go chronological by appearance. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

== Tmesis - include? ==

As examples of tmesis are included here regularly, and as they and portmanteaus are lexicographically related, ought we open this page to tmesis, as [[Acronyms and Initialisms]] is open to both? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

== Pretendous ==

The article says pretendous is a portmanteau of pretend and tremendous. I've always thought it was pretend and '''pretentious''', which makes more sense in the context both times it is used (for reference, see [[Fan Costume Commentary]] and [[extra plug]] (easter egg)). I'd make the change myself, but everything I do ultimately turns out to be wrong, so I'll scrape up some feedback first. [[User:16BitJorge|16BitJorge]] 01:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

:I dunno... it seems like both tremendous and pretentious are pretty much synonymous... So, Ima go with tremendous, because it's the entire word "pretend", and then then "dous" of tremendous that get meshed together at the D. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

:: No, ''tremendous'' and ''pretentious'' are absolutely not synonyms; have a look at a dictionary. In the electricity bill and squirrel-pumpkin-gnawing (yikes, talk about hapax legomena) bill context , ''pretentious'' makes no sense. [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 17:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::I would actually go with a portmanteau of "Pretentious" and "Tremendous". "Pretend" makes no sense here, the bill is real. But "[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pretentious?r=75 pretentious]" can mean "exaggerated", which this bill certainly is. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::: Um, I don't think a bill from a squirrel-staffed pumpkin-gnawing service properly qualifies as "real"... "Pretend" may for that reason sort of make some sense here (the main argument against it would seem to be that it's not very funny, and I have come to expect Very Funniness), but for the reasons I already explained, "pretentious" definitely doesn't make sense. But who knows, maybe Messers Chaps themselves are confused about its meaning. I think the best explanation is that it's a 4-way portmanteau of "prepubescent", "tenterhook", "endive", and "semi-porous". [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 13:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

== Shinoligans ==

Seems to me like shenanigans and [[Wikipedia:Hooligan|hooligans]] (deceitful confidence trick plus unruly and destructive behavior) would make more sense than the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Portmanteaus&oldid=431029 current version}} of [[Wikipedia:Shinola|shinola]] and shenanigans (shoe polish plus deceitful confidence trick). Especially based on [[Quote of the Week#QW-2007-03-15|quote's context]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The context of the quote does not support your theory, Tom. The word "shinola" makes more sense because of the context it is used in. "Hooligan" usually refers to a person. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:People on Homestar Runner often mispronounce words such as several [[Foreign Words]]. I sill think shinoligans was just Crack Stuntman mispronouncing shenanigans. He keeps on mispronouncing the character he the the voice of ([[Gunhaver]]). This is just a big mis pronounciation. [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 21:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
::I think Tom's theory fits the context better, as there's no reason I know of for "shinola" to be mentioned here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
:::I don't think either theory fits. If the portmanteau was "shenanigans" and "hooligans", they probably would have pronounced "shin" as rhyming with "bin" or "win". {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm sure you're right, but it seems like people are unaware of the significance of 'Shinola' .... a quick trip to wikipedia will make it clear why that word's in the common parlance.
:::::And in said case, I've heard "shinola" substituted for the four-letter word in that case. And all you have to do is look at the pronunciation. SHY-noligans. Proof right there.

Shouldn't sbemail be on this list? [[User:74.112.119.229|74.112.119.229]] 17:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

-No, because it's not a portmanteau. All it is is a combination of Strong Bad's initials (not a word) and the word email. It has to be a two word combo for it to be a portmantau. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Europa-pean ==

Does this really belong on the list? Europa-pean would seem to be a standalone word to describe a person (or lobster) from Europa. Europapean isn't really a portmanteau of Europa and European any more than "Irish" is a portmanteau of Ireland and English. -[[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 03:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
:I'm rather skeptical of that claim. While I admit I don't know the adjective for Europa (it's so tempting to use ''europäisch''!), I really doubt it would be "Europa-pean" (what noun adds "pean" to become an adjective?) Thus, I'm still fairly sure Europa-pean is an artificial word, namely, a portmanteau of "Europa" and "European". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

::While I'm not sure that it's a portmanteau, it's definitely not as legit as "Irish". By the way, 'Kipedia uses "Europan" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_%28moon%29#Surface_features].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
:::"Europa-pean" (or Europapean) may seem artificial simply because we rarely (if ever) have to refer to anything from Europa, let alone a lobster. (Or person.) I'm still inclined to think it's not a proper portmanteau.

On second thought, if "The Big Wiki" uses Europan, I'm more inclined to think of Europapean as a portmanteau, even though it seems like a misunderstanding of a somewhat obscure word than a proper portmanteau. (BTW, I wrote the first part of this, hit submit, and edit-conflicted with Loafing. This second line was added after reading that remark.

-[[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 05:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Disagree, the lobster is from Europa, and Strong Bad thinks something from Europa is Europa-pean. Not a portmanteau of Europa and European. --[[User:86.12.232.113|86.12.232.113]] 17:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:But ''why'' would SB think that something from Europa is "Europa-pean" ''except'' by analogy to "European"? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

:: Has to be a portmanteau, because where else does the ''p'' in the ''-pean'' part come from? The usual form of the suffix on its own is ''-ean'' (''Manichean'', ''Herculean'', etc.) That's why the ''Irish'' example from Almsfothepudgy doesn't work; ''Europa-'''p'''ean'' would be analogous to ''Ire'''l'''ish''.

==your funeral==
When Strong Bad says "leotarded" in reference to Strong Sad, is that "leotard" and "retarded" or is it just the adjectival form of the word "leotard"? [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 06:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

==Fanstuff Captions==
Many, many portmanteaus can be found as captions of the fanstuff from varying years. From 2007: homsunami, treggdor, yolkinator, stained glasstar. From 2006: trogapult, monstrositea, knitdor. From 2005: cheatpod, homestarbeque, soapstar, trogsaic, trogstitch. From 2004: legogdor, legomestar. (And others.) Clearly these have been labeled by TBC, but do they count as "unique to the Homestar Runner universe" if they aren't spoken/written by a ''character'' in the Homestar Runner universe? Opinions? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

==Whodunnit?==
Okay, what we don't have is a "Who?" column. With the amount of portmanteaus that are listed, I think it would interest people to know who is saying each of them without having to go into each individual page to find out. It would also confirm the statement that "Strong Bad, especially, frequently creates portmanteaus." Anyone agree? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

==Random Q's==
(1) I know this was my edit, but I'm thinking the subtitle '''Portmanteaus Used By Characters''' is a bit inaccurate with some of the entries. Againymore is not used by any character. Blistergeist is the name of a game Strong Bad found, not a word ''he'' just chose to use. I can't think of an alternative subtitle unless we combine the tables and just call the whole thing '''Portmanteaus'''. Any ideas? (2) Are appeteasers and dudeical really considered "unique to the Homestar Runner universe"? (3) At the moment, there is no consistency in capitalization. For the most part, the first word is capitalized and the second word isn't unless it's a proper noun (e.g. "Dad and babysitter", "Cheat and Pikachu"). I'm for capitalizing both in all cases so as not to give more importance to any one word over another - any arguments? (4) Is TWII really a portmanteau of three words? It could be of Two and Wii, or Three and Wii (seems more likely based on pronunciation), but of Two, Three, ''and'' Wii? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:52, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
:(1) [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Portmanteaus&diff=512171&oldid=512162&rcid=468576 done] (2) i think so, i've never heard them before. (3) i say capitalize the first and proper nouns. (4) no i think it's one or the other, and i'm inclined to say 3, given that it's just "three" with a speech impediment. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
::(1) I thought about '''In Toons''' also; I guess [[Email]] kinda counts as a toon. I'm a bit in doubt about that, plus the general differentiation among Toons, Games, Sbemails, etc. But for now, I think it's better than what we had. (2) See [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Appeteasers Appeteasers]. And Dudeical (also spelled Dudical) also produces many Google results, but not as many as I expected; my guess is that people realize it looks strange in print and opt for a different word. Either way, it clearly existed well before H*R came around (unlike burninate, dadbysitter, bubsness, etc.). Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing others' opinions on these topics as well. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

==Gymatorium==

Gymatorium is definitely not unique to the H*R universe; many schools have a gym that is also used as an auditorium. My elementary school had a gymatorium, with that word on the sign above the entrance. Google also returns quite a few results. — [[User:70.110.22.198|70.110.22.198]] ([[User talk:70.110.22.198|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/70.110.22.198|contribs]]) 04:54, 2 January 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])

== Gunkistan ==

The page currently lists this as a portmanteau of Gun and Pakistan. I think (given the low quality of the products it produces) that it is more likely a portmanteau of 'Gunk' and '-stan', probably Pakistan (like we did for Geographist).

== SBCG4AP section? ==

Well, I'm guessing that deathtiny is a portmanteaus. Death and Destiny. Concur?

== I'm afraid your logic has fizzled ==

I'm gonna have to challenge "fizzleweight"s origin. It's clearly a mispronunciation (probably intentional, for the sake of being derisive) of "sizzleweight," the actual name of the title. "Sizzleweight" in turn is not a true portmanteau because it refers not to any particular weight division, but all of them in general. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 20:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

== Toe-fu ==

''{Title appears: "Most in the Graveyard", "the credits for the 9th Homestar Halloween Cartoon..." "...are the same as the first 8!"}''

''{Cut to the Cemetery entrance. Everyone is there, with Strong Bad and The Cheat shown to be the last to arrive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''who cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ''{suddenly realises Strong Bad's statement}'' Aww... I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

''{Everyone starts walking into the cemetery grounds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy lot!

''{Cut back to the entrance. The King of Town and the Poopsmith remain.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

''{As the King of Town speaks, a view of a hill within the graveyard is shown, with a sheep shadow bleating loudly at the top of it. Cut to Strong Sad and Marzipan.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. ''{lowers her guitar and pulls out a camera from [[Hammerspace]])'' I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hang on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z, standing in front of a bunch of graves.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down".

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Gobalin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles while pointing to a nearby landmark}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill".

''{Both Homestar and Pom Pom walk up the hill, with a wooden sign labelled "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill" being shown as Homestar mentions it. Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and the Cheat, all near more graves.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad and Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is ''great!''

''{Cut to Coach Z standing near a grave.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

''{Cut to Bubs near a grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' ''{pats Bubs on his right shoulder}'' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifth cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, phew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want a reanimated corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

''{Cut back to Homestar and Pom Pom, both hiding behind a larger gravestone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy?

''{Pom Pom gets out the candy. The viewpoint then cuts to the inside of a bush, focusing on Homestar and Pom Pom from a distance. Breathing can be heard distinctively.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers.

''{The monster is revealed to be the Carnivorous Undead Sheep; it jumps out of the bush into viewpoint of Homestar and Pom Pom and bleats loudly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again!

''{Pom Pom pulls out a handgun.}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z, the latter being held up by his collar.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Marzipan. Strong Sad is '''still''' seen holding his breath.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

''{Cut back to the entrance. The King of Town and the Poopsmith haven't moved.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

''{The Poopsmith nods and they both leave the graveyard. Cut back to Homestar, Pom Pom and the sheep.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants!

''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grands into a hundred grand?

''{The Goblin shakes his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought at midnight you—

''{The Goblin does his dance}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappointed}'' Oh, man!

''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music. Disco lights show up during the dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

''{Homestar moves away from the grave and dances with the Goblin. From nearby, Pom Pom pulls out two handguns, and Strong Bad finds the sheep's body.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

''{The King of Town appears nearby.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

''{Fade to one of Marzipan's attempted photos of Strong Sad, with the caption: 'In loving memory of Strong Sad "willed himself to death 10/31/2008". The photograph moves with the final trumpet riffs. Cut to the standard ending scene of the various characters wearing their costumes.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanation===
*Coach Z referring to himself as "Coach Zgor Mortizzz" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Rigor_mortis|Rigor Mortis]].

===Trivia===
*The sign at the front of the cemetery reads "Always Been Here Acres".
*Pom Pom and The Cheat's costumes may be a nod to the comic's artist, [[Wikipedia:Rob Schrab|Rob Schrab]], who made a downloadable guest wallpaper for [[Trogdor]]'s [[Trogday 08|5th Birthday]]
*The loading screen says "[[Irregular Loading Screens|He was a real load]]."
*Over a period of nine Halloweens, five of Marzipan's costumes have involved [[cross-dressing]].

===Remarks===
*Homsar and the Carnivorous Undead Sheep are drawn with black outlines, instead of the thick, colored outline style of everything else in the [[Homestar Runner Universe]].
*Bubs' arms are rendered in an old, bent style.
*The King of Town wears the Hello Kitty bow near the opposite ear from where it is traditionally placed.

===Glitches===
*At the end of the toon (if you clicked The Poopsmith to activate the Homsar egg), if you click on Strong Bad, Homestar, Marzipan, Bubs, The Poopsmith, Coach Z, Strong Sad, or the King of Town, Homsar still shows his scroll-over information while another character comments on their costume. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.

===Goofs===
*At the beginning of the cartoon, Coach Z's foot will disappear before the screen scrolls off of him.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When you clicked on Strong Bad at the end, his lips didn't move when he says, "Uh, I don't know."
*The bubble containing Homsar's description appeared on top of Bubs' body but under his head.
*At the end of the toon, one of Homsar's legs was his normal one and the other was his costume foot (Captain Caveman's).

===Inside References===
*The page title has an instance of [['d]].
*This is another reference to [[Strong Sad's Death]].

*Pom Pom, in nod to his costume choice, is once again seen brandishing [[guns]].
*The candy that Pom Pom produces is a bag of [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|SBLOUNSKCHED!]] Fun Size.
*The King of Town running over the hills while silhouetted is a reference to [[Old Intro 2]].
*The music heard when the Carnivorous Undead Sheep approaches Homestar and Pom Pom is taken from [[Jibblies 2]].
*Homestar's message for his Halloween costume, "Yahoo Serious(ly)", refers to his [[Catch_Phrases#Homestar_Runner|catch phrase]], "Seriously".
*Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was previously referenced in [[vacation]].
*This is the second time a character (Strong Sad) has struggled to hold his breath; the first occurred in Halloween Fairstival when Homestar couldn't hold his breath.

*[[Wikipedia:Space Mountain (Disneyland)|Space Mountain]], [[Wikipedia:Mr. Toad's Wild Ride|Mr. Toad's]], [[Wikipedia:Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island|Tom Sawyer's Island]], and [[Wikipedia:Carousel of Progress|Carousel of Progress]] are all attractions at [[Disney]] [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney Parks and Resorts|theme parks]], specifically [[Wikipedia:Magic Kingdom|the Magic Kingdom]] and [[Wikipedia:Disneyland|Disneyland]]. However, neither park currently contains all four attractions since Disneyland's Carousel of Progress closed in 1973 and Disney World's Mr. Toad closed in 1998. The [[Wikipedia:Goofy|Goofy]] lot refers to the parks' parking lots being named after Disney characters.
*Homestar's line "he'll spin all your Halloween candy into gold" is a reference to the fairy tale ''[[Wikipedia:Rumpelstiltskin|Rumpelstiltskin]],'' where the title character had the ability to spin straw into gold.
* Coach Z's album cover featuring him wearing a hockey mask is a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (franchise)|Friday the 13th]]'' series of horror movies. The band name "The Graveyardiganz" refers to ''[[Wikipedia:The Backyardigans|the Backyardigans]]'', a music-based TV series.
*The King of Town's line when clicking on the Poopsmith at the end refers to ''[[Wikipedia:Futurama|Futurama]]'' character [[Wikipedia:Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s catchphrase. Farnsworth employs Dr. Zoidberg.

*At the end, in the Strong Sad Easter egg, Strong Sad is mistaken for Ma Fratelli from ''[[Wikipedia:The Goonies|The Goonies]]''.
*Strong Sad shouting his last line in the Strong Bad Easter egg is in the style of a typical antic of Sam Kinison's comedy act.
*Homestar Runner argues with himself about his costume, mistakenly suggesting it to be of [[Wikipedia:Carrot Top|Carrot Top]], a stand-up comedian noted for his use of props, his large orange hair, and being a former spokesperson for [[Wikipedia:AT&T|AT&T]] during their "Dial Down the Center" campaign. He then mistakenly "corrects" himself to actually be [[Wikipedia:Crocodile Dundee|Crocodile Dundee]], the titular character from the 1986 comedy movie. Crocodile Dundee was played by [[Wikipedia:Paul Hogan|Paul Hogan]] who, like Yahoo Serious, is Australian.
*Strong Sad enthusiastically asks Strong Bad, in reference to his costume, for the answer to the [[Wikipedia:Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything|ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything]]. In the [[Wikipedia:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]], the computer Deep Thought is constructed to formulate this response, despite nobody knowing the precise nature of the question. After 7 1/2 million years, Deep Thought reveals the answer to be "42".
*Coach Z's "Yooooooooooo garble garble!" is his attempt to say DJ Lance Rock's phrase "Yo Gabba Gabba!"

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

Mechamind90 — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 22:52:53 GMT

Mechamind90: Visual clarification about 10'ial extravaganza

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. ''Those who did have descriptions written in Italic''.

=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person whom 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 when So and So fell 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 Brett[[Names Ending in -erson|erson]] 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:Cerebellumed Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||

Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines on the grounds that she is vegan.

=====''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.''

''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.''

=====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.

''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]]." In the Tenthennial Extravaganza, it appeared on its stand 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. When she talks, her speech balloon has three tails, with only one coming from her mouth. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-

=====''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.''
|-
|[[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. 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.

Port-O-John is a [[Wikipedia:portable toilet|portable outhouse]] that came to life by growing eyes, a nose, a mustache, a mouth, hands and feet. A sign on his side reads ''Johnny Rite There''. It put on a play with So and So once Cheerleader died in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. It didn't get very good reviews, however, and he is injured--perhaps killed--by [[Arrow'd Guy]] when a spear enters his frontside after penetrating So and So.

A tiny [[Wikipedia:Samurai|samurai]] armed with a [[Wikipedia:Naginata|naginata]] who bursts twice from corn-based products: "corn and corn alone" and corn chips. Both times he does so because they are "no place for a mighty warrior." After emerging from the corn chips, he lathe'd a spinning What's Her Face in two with his naginata. He also appeared in an Easter egg for [[myths & legends]], fighting the corn army.
|-
|[[Image:Coach and olympic man.png|150px|We're not sure what they're talking about either.]] ||

=====Olympic Man and Coach=====
A lonely pair at the "Olympic Race," Olympic Man and Coach prepare for some type of sporting event after being ditched by Cheerleader. Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that "the olympics are soooo dumb!", though Coach vehemently denies this to his well-muscled companion, who seems to have no hands.

Olympic Man reappears in [[#Issue 13|Issue 13]] as [[#Peacey P|Peacey P]]'s bodyguard, with the text on his shirt blurred out. When The Ugly One asks for Peacey P's autograph, he dangles (and ultimately drops) her from a hotel balcony into a bayonet tailgate party.

The Coach reappears in [[#Issue 14|Issue 14]] as the gym teacher for the girls' school. When Cheerleader, The Ugly One, and What's Her Face refuse to take their gym final, he gives them all A's.

He makes an appearance when [[The Ugly One]] becomes hot, and Strong Bad imagines meeting her. After Sir Hotbod begins [[Making Out|making out]] with The Ugly One, Strong Bad himself begins to do the same to the piece of loose-leaf they were drawn on, much to the bewilderment of onlookers [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]], and [[The Cheat]]. A sketch of him was in the [[Sketchbook 2008|Sketchbook]] once.

=====Shirt Folding Store Manager=====
The Shirt Folding Store Manager is So and So's manager at Shirt Folding Store. She is rude and aggressive to So and So, calls her "Mark" and tells her to "get to minimum wagin'". The manager is the only character in episode 11 not drawn in black and white. Her hair and face are constructed from a [[:Image:Mary-Kate.jpg|magazine photo]] of [[Wikipedia:Mary-Kate Olsen|Mary-Kate Olsen]]. Her right arm is also drawn much longer than her left and her hands are drawn crudely. She is injured and/or killed by an Astronaut.
|-

=====Astronaut=====
The astronaut suddenly appears in Shirt Folding Store and punches out the manager, his justification being that she killed his dog. His voice is distorted by the loudspeaker system built into his suit, and he starts each sentence with "Ckhk" as he turns it on. He has a cape and can fly.
|-
|[[Image:RacoonGirl.png|150px|Do YOU love her?]] ||

=====Raccoon Girl=====
Raccoon Girl is What's Her Face's bunkmate at the camp. She is weak and emaciated, feels unloved, and needs heavy medication, lest she "go into a coma".
The overall concept of a "raccoon girl" may be derived from the fact that girls wearing heavy black eyeliner may be seen as "raccoon-like".
|-

=====Coughing Customer=====
A customer at Shirt Folding Store. He needs a present for his wife for their anniversary. He coughs so much that So and So thinks that the present is for his coughiversary.

=====Camp Counselor Shortshorts=====
Camp Counselor Shortshorts is trying really hard not to be thought of as a square by What's Her Face and The Ugly One by using random "youthful" quotes. He only succeeds in winning over the girls by singing a song with them. He then meets his end at the hands of Maniac in a Speedo. He is the only character in the series to be decapitated.
|-
|[[Image:Bear.png|150px|He stapled it down!]] ||

=====Chumbly Wumbly Bear=====
The Chumbly Wumbly Bear is the subject of the song that the girls sing with the counselor. According to the song, he "came a tumblin' down", but sold neither [[beans]] nor [[eggs]] - he couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't. Instead, he "stapled it down".

=====Maniac in a Speedo=====
Maniac in a Speedo comes in at the end of the "Chumbly Wumbly Bear" song. As seen, he wears a paper bag to hide his face and uses a chainsaw to do his bidding. He cut The Ugly One and What's Her Face in half and did a number on Camp Counselor Shortshorts as well.

These are the two boys from whom [[What's Her Face]] attempts to acquire a Valentine's Day card. They enjoy talking about band names; What's Her Face observes this and tells them she likes music, as well as cloth. One of the boys is surprised that she likes cloth, but the other thinks "she likes cloth" is a good band name. In an [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12#Easter Eggs|Easter egg]], a CD cover with the name "she likes cloth" is shown, along with the top of the Band Name Boys' heads.
|-
|[[Image:MrsEmbalmo.png|150px|Dea'd!]] ||

=====Mrs. Embalmo=====
Mrs. Embalmo is the one lunchlady who did not give The Ugly One a card for Valentine's Day. This is probably because there's nothing left of her but a creaking skeleton. She sports a hairnet and may have spiders living in her head, as evidenced by the spiderweb between her skull and the lunch-display glass.

=====Class Prez=====
Class Prez has a "technological romance" with Cheerleader by text messaging her from a few feet away, but is dismayed when she tells him he is "less than B". His phone model, "CRKR" (short for "Cracker"), is a play on the Motorola cellular phone KRZR. The name itself is also a play on the recent naming of cell phones after foods like the LG Chocolate and the BlackBerry. This could also explain why the phone has a bite taken out of it. He is skewered by the USB Dongle Goblin.

Seen in [[death metal]], Brainkrieg is a death metal band in [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination that seems to use all of the wrong "d-e" words in their song (deli-style, dentist). They also frequently use the phrase "Jugga jigga wugga". They have a large, poorly drawn audience watching their performance. Cheerleader seems to be a fan—she comes for the wuggas, but stays for the jiggy juggas. They also received last place in The Battle of the Crappy High School Bands. Apparently, their music is popular with rats, as on two different occasions during the [[Homestar Ruiner Teen girl Squad|issue]] featured in [[Homestar Ruiner]], rats are attracted to the girls whenever a Brainkrieg ringtone plays.

Duck Guardian One

Mechamind90 — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:36:23 GMT

Mechamind90: Actual limit due to eggs

{{vgamenav|duckguard1|Where's an Egg?|Hallrunner}}

[[Image:Duck Gaurd One.PNG|thumb|right|200px|'''Duck Guardian''' start screen]]
[[Image:duckguardian1box.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Duck Guardian One box art]]

A game by [[Videlectrix]]. The plot: save ducks from various hazards and lead them into a spaceship in order to transport them to the hungry people of Vexar VII.

'''Page Title:''' Duck Guardian One! Save a Duck, Save THE WORLD!!

'''Viidelectrix Page Title:''' Duck is great time.

'''Date:''' Tuesday, August 30, 2004

== Instructions ==
Protect the ducks using a variety of rays! Use the mouse to move the ray target crosshairs, and the desired number key to fire a ray (The keys used are noted below). Use P or the Enter key to "paws" the game at any time. There are 33 levels total.

=== Ray Types ===
* '''Direction Ray (1):''' The ray you begin the game with. When fired at a duck, it will reverse the direction it is going in, useful for dodging falling robot heads.
* '''Jump Ray (2):''' Earned in Level 3. Enables ducks to jump over pits and robot dogs.
* '''Freeze Ray (3):''' Earned in Level 9. Freezes ducks solid, rendering them temporarily immune to robot dog attacks. Be warned that other ducks cannot pass frozen ducks, and robot heads still crush frozen ducks.
* '''Double Jump Ray (2):''' Replaces the normal Jump Ray in Level 13. Enables ducks to jump in mid-air.
* '''Hatch Ray (4):''' Earned in Level 17. Cracks open falling eggs, causing ducks to come out. Be warned that if used on live ducks, it blows them up.
* '''Armor Ray (5 or Space Bar):''' Earned in Level 27. Renders ducks immune to robot heads and dogs, but unable to jump.

=== Hazards ===
* '''Robot Heads:''' Fall from the sky to crush your ducks. Only the armor ray renders your ducks immune to a Robot Head attack.
* '''Spaceship Door:''' Opens and closes in certain levels. If closed, ducks cannot enter the ship.
* '''Bombs:''' Fall from the sky to open pits in the ground. Will kill any ducks they fall on.
* '''Pits:''' Holes in the ground created by Bombs and Hatched Eggs. Will kill any duck unlucky enough to wander into it.
* '''Robot Dogs:''' Run from the left side of the screen to the right, eating any ducks unfortunate enough to get in their way. The Freeze and Armor rays protect your ducks from a Robot Dog attack. Can be jumped. ''{The city light will flash shortly before the Robot Dog comes out on the prowl.}''
* '''Eggs:''' Fall from the sky and crush ducks. They remain on the ground and block ducks that walk up to them. They can be hatched into two or more ducks using the Hatch Ray, but they will leave a pit in the ground. Can be jumped. Ducks that land on an egg bounce off into the air.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This game was first mentioned in the [[EmailFAQ|Email FAQ's]], where one of the many things Strong Bad does is hold up a game and says "I gotta play my new copy of Duck Guardian 2!" That also explains why this game is sometimes called Duck Guardian ''1''.

===Trivia===
*When you beat the game, [[:Image:Duck Guardian winscreen.png|a screen]] shows up that has an astronaut handing one of the ducks (dead) on a plate to a strange alien (who has the same color scheme as [[Bubs]]), and the text says "Well Done, Duck Guardian!! Now the people of Vexar VII will not go hungry!"
*Users without Flash Player 7 installed receive an interesting note, which seems to cleverly reference [[Wikipedia:Womanizer|player culture]].
[[Image:Duck Guardian flasherror.png|thumb|right|300px|Don't hate the game, hate the playa.]]
<blockquote>DUCK GUARDIAN ONE 
IS A FLASH PLAYER 7 
GAME. 
FLASH SAYS YOU DON'T 
HAVE NUMBER 7. 
SORRY. TRY UPDATING 
YOUR FLASH PLUG-IN. 
DON'T HATE THE GAME, 
HATE THE PLAYA.</blockquote>

===Remarks===
* Using the Direction Ray on a duck repeatedly agitates it, causing it to run faster and jump farther. Holding the Direction Ray and firing it constantly at the left of the screen (where the ducks come out) causes the ducks to walk back and forth; the longer you hold it, the faster the duck will run when you release the Ray.
* If you have an extra duck very near the closed space ship door and you complete a level by pushing a duck through with the Direction Ray, you can make the TO SAVE number become -1.

===Glitches===
*If you pause the game, the Spaceship Door still opens and closes. So if the door is shut at the moment your duck arrives at the door, simply pause the game and wait for the door to open.
**This has been fixed in the Viidelectrix version.
*You can still use the various rays on the ducks while the game is paused, by using the number keys. It's possible to hold down the direction ray on a group of ducks near the starting point for several minutes, then press the jump ray: you'll end up with a lot of flying ducks moving at incredible speeds, crossing the screen in under a millisecond.
**This glitch has been fixed in the Viidelectrix version.
*Sometimes, if you use the direction ray right when a duck is next to a closed spaceship door, they will go in.
*You can armor then quickly unarmor ducks in midair, then make them double jump again! With this glitch, ducks can make it all the way across without even touching the ground. If robot heads are falling, simply armor them when they're up high, then unarmor them once the robot head has passed.
* The Flash player message will appear if you have Flash 8. However, if you play it from the Videlectrix Game Demos page, the game will play as normal.
* You can see the game winscreen without actually beating the game. To do this, hatch an egg right after your last live duck dies (or after the last duck enters the ship, if you fail to meet the correct number of ducks). Your score will be listed as 0.
* If you beat a level while the city light is flashing, the light will stay on in the next level.

===Real-World References===
*The soundtrack, per-level instructions, use of a badly rendered female voice, and reference to levels as "waves" all recall the computer game ''[[Wikipedia:Klax (computer game)|Klax]]''.
*The carton for this game is reminiscent of the box art for [[Wikipedia:Activision|Activision]] games for the [[Atari 2600]] system. [[Secret Collect.]] also uses this style on its carton.
*This game pays homage in many ways to the now-defunct gaming company [[Wikipedia:Psygnosis|Psygnosis]].
**The theme of the game is similar to the popular computer game ''[[Wikipedia:Lemmings (video game)|Lemmings]]''.
**When you pause the game, it includes the "Paws" pun found in many of Psygnosis' games.
**The way the ducks explode is reminiscent of the way the "Wabbits" explode in the Psygnosis game ''[[Wikipedia:Wiz'n'Liz|Wiz'n'Liz]]''.
*The eggs look like [[Wikipedia:Yoshi|Yoshi]]'s eggs from the [[Wikipedia:Mario series|Mario]] video games.
*The hint for Level 11 is a reference to the old adage "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
*The hint for Level 31 is a possible reference to the Frog and Toad series of books.
*The duck explosion animation (seen on the Videlectrix logo screen and when using the hatch ray) looks to have been based on animations from the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Dig Dug|Dig Dug]]''.
*The sound effects for ducks jumping and dying are taken from the game ''[http://www.mobygames.com/game/intellivision/frog-bog Frog Bog]'' for the [[Wikipedia:Intellivision|Intellivision]].
*The sound effect for a duck being rescued is taken from the game ''[http://www.mobygames.com/game/intellivision/snafu SNAFU]'', also for the Intellivision.
*The bombs are reminiscent of the classic arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Moon Patrol|Moon Patrol]]''.
*The falling heads resemble the [[Wikipedia:Thwomp|Thwomp]] from the Super Mario Bros. series.

===Fast Forward===
*The ducks are seen later on [[Main Page 22]], where two of them walk across the screen and explode, as well as [[Stinkoman 20X6]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]], where they are used as ladders.

=== Viidelectrix ===
*All "Click here to start"s are replaced by "Point hereabouts and [[Mashing|mash A]] to start."
*The directions read:
:"Use remote as a pointer to aim
:Fire direction ray with A or B buttons
:To get ducks safely to the escape ship."
*The spaceship door glitch and the firing while paused glitch are now fixed
*The Direction Ray is fired with A or B.
*The Jump Ray is fired with Left on the D-Pad.
*The Freeze Ray is fired with Right on the D-Pad.
*The Hatch Ray is fired with Down on the D-Pad.
*The Armor Gun is fired with Up on the D-Pad.

Punkin Stencils

Mechamind90 — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:49:36 GMT

Mechamind90: Highlighting the 2007 stencils

[[Image:Punkin2008.png|thumb|right|220px|Pick a punkin, any punkin]]

A yearly feature on the site, the '''Punkin Stencils''' are [[Printables|printable stencils]] to overlay on pumpkins for tracing and cutting. Starting as a simple [[HR:stencils.html|stencils]] selection, it returned for Halloween '04 with almost twice as many pumpkins as a pumpkin patch. In 2005, it was updated with the front row of Pumpkins and the light switch Easter egg. In 2006, a new front row was added. In 2007, another new layout debuted, this time using a conveyor belt.

'''Features:''' [[Bad Graphics Ghost]]

'''Page Title:''' Make-a Your Own-a Pumpakin!

'''Date:''' October 20, 2003

'''Updated:''' October 14, 2004; October 17, 2005; October 20, 2006; October 21, 2007; October 13, 2008

== Original Stencils ==
First to last scroll selection:

[[Marshie]], [[Bubs]], [[Homestar Runner]] running, [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]]'s Z, [[Marzipan]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Bad]]'s silhouette, [[Homsar]]'s face, [[The King of Town]]

== Punkin Patch Stencils ==
[[Image:pumpkinstencils.png|thumb|right|220px|Punkin Patch]]
Left to right in each row:

'''Back row:''' [[Sherlock]], [[The King of Town]], [[Eh! Steve!]], [[Bubs]], [[Marshie]], [[The Cheat]]

'''Sixth row:''' [[Homestar Runner]] running, [[Pom Pom]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Marzipan]], [[Coach Z]]

'''Fifth row:''' [[Strong Bad]]'s face, [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], [[Strong Bad]]'s silhouette

'''Fourth row:''' [[Homestar Runner]]'s face, [[Strong Mad]], [[Trogdor]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Homsar]]'s silhouette

'''Third row:''' [[Homsar]]'s face, [[Coach Z]]'s Z, [[Stinkoman]], [[The Goblin]]

'''Second row (added 2005):''' [[:Image:logo.png|Homestar Runner logo]], [[Li'l Brudder]], [[Rather Dashing]], [[Sterrance]]

'''Front row (added 2006):''' [[Gary Palaroncini]] with guitar, [[Bear holding a Shark]], [[The Municipality]]'s logo, the [[duck]] from Homestar's [[Duckie Shirt]]

=== Easter Eggs ===
*If you wait 20 seconds after the screen is done loading (without clicking any of the pumpkins), the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] will appear.
**If you click on one of the pumpkins, the timer stops – the ghost will appear after 20 seconds total with no stencil visible.
*In the 2005 and 2006 versions, pressing L causes the lights to turn off. Pressing L again causes the lights to flicker and come back on.

=== Fun Facts ===
====Goofs====
*The lights-out masks (see below) for the Poopsmith, Stinkoman, and most notably Sherlock are not quite right; they don't take the pumpkins in front of them into account.

====Glitches====
*If you roll your cursor over the pumpkins while the lights are out, the pumpkins will still expand, but the outline of the originals (before you roll over them) will be left visible. This is because the darkness is just a nearly-opaque black mask over the original scene.

==Conveyor Belt==
To scroll through available stencils, use the left and right arrows at the bottom. The longer you press on an arrow, the faster the belt will move. When you want to select a stencil, {{film|The Cheat}} will come down and [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnaw]] out the pattern. The pumpkin will then start to glow and the stencil appears.

When the page first loads, the newest stencils are displayed first. The stencils in order, from left to right (with 2007 stencils in bold):
<table>
<autocolumn style="padding-right:18px">

</autocolumn></table>
===Easter Eggs===
[[Image:aggp.PNG|thumb|200px|Scary!]]
* Once all the pumpkins have been lit, clicking a lit pumpkin will make the Bad Graphics Ghost appear and fill the pumpkin back in again.

===Fun Facts===
====Remarks====
*The [[Pistols for Pandas]] pumpkin did not appear when the conveyor belt was first introduced. It was added later.
*Despite the fact that the pumpkins appear to not have removable tops, they still glow after The Cheat carves them.

====Goofs====
*The rollers in between the conveyor belt turn the wrong way relative to the belt's movement.

Punkin Stencils

Mechamind90 — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:17:20 GMT

Mechamind90: /* Conveyor Belt */

[[Image:Punkin2008.png|thumb|right|220px|Pick a punkin, any punkin]]

A yearly feature on the site, the '''Punkin Stencils''' are [[Printables|printable stencils]] to overlay on pumpkins for tracing and cutting. Starting as a simple [[HR:stencils.html|stencils]] selection, it returned for Halloween '04 with almost twice as many pumpkins as a pumpkin patch. In 2005, it was updated with the front row of Pumpkins and the light switch Easter egg. In 2006, a new front row was added. In 2007, another new layout debuted, this time using a conveyor belt.

'''Features:''' [[Bad Graphics Ghost]]

'''Page Title:''' Make-a Your Own-a Pumpakin!

'''Date:''' October 20, 2003

'''Updated:''' October 14, 2004; October 17, 2005; October 20, 2006; October 21, 2007; October 13, 2008

== Original Stencils ==
First to last scroll selection:

[[Marshie]], [[Bubs]], [[Homestar Runner]] running, [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]]'s Z, [[Marzipan]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Bad]]'s silhouette, [[Homsar]]'s face, [[The King of Town]]

== Punkin Patch Stencils ==
[[Image:pumpkinstencils.png|thumb|right|220px|Punkin Patch]]
Left to right in each row:

'''Back row:''' [[Sherlock]], [[The King of Town]], [[Eh! Steve!]], [[Bubs]], [[Marshie]], [[The Cheat]]

'''Sixth row:''' [[Homestar Runner]] running, [[Pom Pom]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Marzipan]], [[Coach Z]]

'''Fifth row:''' [[Strong Bad]]'s face, [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], [[Strong Bad]]'s silhouette

'''Fourth row:''' [[Homestar Runner]]'s face, [[Strong Mad]], [[Trogdor]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Homsar]]'s silhouette

'''Third row:''' [[Homsar]]'s face, [[Coach Z]]'s Z, [[Stinkoman]], [[The Goblin]]

'''Second row (added 2005):''' [[:Image:logo.png|Homestar Runner logo]], [[Li'l Brudder]], [[Rather Dashing]], [[Sterrance]]

'''Front row (added 2006):''' [[Gary Palaroncini]] with guitar, [[Bear holding a Shark]], [[The Municipality]]'s logo, the [[duck]] from Homestar's [[Duckie Shirt]]

=== Easter Eggs ===
*If you wait 20 seconds after the screen is done loading (without clicking any of the pumpkins), the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] will appear.
**If you click on one of the pumpkins, the timer stops – the ghost will appear after 20 seconds total with no stencil visible.
*In the 2005 and 2006 versions, pressing L causes the lights to turn off. Pressing L again causes the lights to flicker and come back on.

=== Fun Facts ===
====Goofs====
*The lights-out masks (see below) for the Poopsmith, Stinkoman, and most notably Sherlock are not quite right; they don't take the pumpkins in front of them into account.

====Glitches====
*If you roll your cursor over the pumpkins while the lights are out, the pumpkins will still expand, but the outline of the originals (before you roll over them) will be left visible. This is because the darkness is just a nearly-opaque black mask over the original scene.

==Conveyor Belt==
To scroll through available stencils, use the left and right arrows at the bottom. The longer you press on an arrow, the faster the belt will move. When you want to select a stencil, {{film|The Cheat}} will come down and [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnaw]] out the pattern. The pumpkin will then start to glow and the stencil appears.

When the page first loads, the newest stencils are displayed first. The stencils in order, from left to right:
<table>
<autocolumn style="padding-right:18px">

* [[Peacey P]] ''(2008)''
* [[Nebulon]] ''(2008)''
* [[Crack Stuntman]] ''(2008)''
* [[The Sad Kids]]
* [[Pistols For Pandas]]
* [[The Jolly Dumple]]
* [[1-Up]]
* [[Cheatball]]
* the [[duck]] from Homestar's [[Duckie Shirt]]
* [[The Municipality]]'s logo
* [[Bear holding a Shark]]
* [[Gary Palaroncini]] with guitar
* [[Sterrance]]
* [[Rather Dashing]]
* [[Li'l Brudder]]
* [[:Image:logo.png|Homestar Runner logo]]
* [[The Goblin]]

* [[Homestar Runner]] running
* [[The Cheat]]
* [[Marshie]]
* [[Bubs]]
* [[Eh! Steve!]]
* [[The King of Town]]
* [[Sherlock]]
</autocolumn></table>
===Easter Eggs===
[[Image:aggp.PNG|thumb|200px|Scary!]]
* Once all the pumpkins have been lit, clicking a lit pumpkin will make the Bad Graphics Ghost appear and fill the pumpkin back in again.

===Fun Facts===
====Remarks====
*The [[Pistols for Pandas]] pumpkin did not appear when the conveyor belt was first introduced. It was added later.
*Despite the fact that the pumpkins appear to not have removable tops, they still glow after The Cheat carves them.

====Goofs====
*The rollers in between the conveyor belt turn the wrong way relative to the belt's movement.

Mechamind90: Clarification about NOT organic

The word '''organic''' was intended to be used to describe items made with no artificial substances. However, it has been used in some [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] toons and games to describe items that ''cannot'' be made without unnatural substances.

==Appearances==
*[[Thy Dungeonman 3]] — The game mentions "organic cruelty-free [[gold]] coins".
*[[Quality Time]] — [[Bubs]] tries to pass off [[eggs]] as "organic [[batteries]]".
*Email [[environment]] — [[Marzipan]] shows off her "organic ''Thelma and Louise'' DVD".
*Email [[love poems]] — The first letter A in Homestar's acrostic poem "[[Lowercase i's|MARZiPAN]]" is for [[Not X|not-]]organic apples.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — Bubs sells [[chocolate]]-covered organic packing peanuts.

Strong Bad Email Statistics

Mechamind90 — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:12:29 GMT

Mechamind90: cleaner list

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Strong Bad Email by era==
[[Image:bar_graph_by_length.PNG|thumb|200px|left|"The newer, the longer"]]
[[Image:Graph.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The [[Lappy 486]] has officially surpassed the [[Compy 386]].]]

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

{{clear}}

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

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

{{clear}}

==Strong Bad Emails featuring more than one email==

* [[huttah!]] — The first five emails Strong Bad checks all show particular interest in [[The Cheat]] (he deletes them). The last two are all directed to Strong Bad, but he attempts to fool The Cheat into thinking they're for him.
* [[personal favorites]] — In addition to the main email, Strong Bad is seen answering 4 emails in fake flashbacks (two in the main toon, two in Easter eggs).

* [[the chair]] — Strong Bad answers a second email, but his [[Le Restige|new chair]] obstructs almost the entire screen of the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] while he does so.

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

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

Mechamind90: Some details about myself

My name is Adam Buckley, and I am from British Columbia. I usually like to keep stuff organized, and I am a technology addict. There's a lot to think about when it comes to computers, but the main thing that I know is that it comprises of 1's and 0's. Even numbers 2-9, all letters and anything you can think of on the computer comprises of 1's and 0's.

*Computers are not the only thing I am interested in, however. In fact, I'm not an addict to newer video games.
*I have, however, learned HTML and I know a little bit of Java, Networking and graphics design.

Keep in mind, though. Anyone who thinks that they know it all is usually incorrect. There are a lot of new discoveries made every day. Do you think you can fit them all in your own mind? I can't fit them in mine. I just prefer the essentials.

*I'm an HRwiki user. And that's about all there is.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Being "carded" refers to being asked for identification proving age in order to, for instance, purchase alcohol.
*[[Wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard interface for connecting peripherals to computers.
*A [[Wikipedia:Dongle|dongle]] is a device that connects to a computer for one of several specific purposes. These uses include adapting one type of port to another, providing security authentication for software, or facilitating wireless communication between the computer and other devices.
*A [[Wikipedia:USB hub|USB hub]] allows multiple devices to attach to a single USB port.
*Mrs. Embalmo's name is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Embalming|embalming]], a process by which a body is preserved for burial.
*"Mindy cred" is a reference to "indie cred," or credibility in the independent music/movie scene.
* Cheerleader's shirt in the cartoon would be read as "Who heart-ed?", a parody of the popular t-shirt phrase "Who farted?"
* [[Wikipedia: pink eye|Pink eye]] is an eye inflammation.
*'Bad [[wikipedia:Juju|Juju]]' is a mocking reference to voodoo and superstitions.
*'Full bars' is a reference to having good mobile phone (or wireless signal) reception (and thus having "full bars" shown on the phone's display).
*The object the Wireless Wizard is flying on is a wireless router.
*U.N. stands for [[Wikipedia:United Nations|United Nations]].
*When the class prez asks what Cheerleader means by saying he is "less than B", he is referring to Cheerleader's failure to type the right text for a heart. The correct way is "<3".
*The points of a [[Wikipedia:Fork|fork]] are called "tines".
*When Cheerleader asks So and So "What?" her question is surrounded by asterisks, as is often used in scripts to show emphasis.
*"Mock U.N." likely refers to two high school clubs: Model UN and Mock Trial.

===Trivia===
*One of the plaques by Mindy's portrait reads "1984-[[1987]]".
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad to use the modified capital I in Strong Bad's [[font]], yet sometimes the regular style that looks like [[lowercase i's]] is still used.
*This issue has the most Easter Eggs of any Teen Girl Squad issue.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Tgs12goof.png|150px|thumb|Delayed disappearing text from a few frames ago? FOR SHAME!]]
*The text from Cheerleader's shirt stays on screen for one frame after the cut to the Wireless Wizard's face.
*When Boys 1 and 2 appear, Boy one has one particular voice. Boy 2 comes in with a different voice. Then Boy 1 responds with Boy 2's voice.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the toon was released, in the intro, Cheerleader's name was not written with her picture. This was fixed shortly afterwards. 

===Glitches===
*The notebook paper in the frame of the toon and outside of the frame do not [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11#Glitches|match up]].

===Inside References===
*The picture on the cover of "she likes cloth" is similar to The Cheat's illustration of the two Johns from They Might Be Giants in [[Experimental Film]].
*So and So informing The Ugly One's fruit cup of her demise is similar to Homestar notifying another [[Items|inanimate object]] ([[Mrs. Bennedetto]]) of the death of [[Frank Bennedetto]] in [[army]].
*Boy 2's referring to What's Her Face as a dude is another instance of [[gender confusion]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Whitman's|Whitman's]] Sampler is a popular assortment of chocolates.
*Cheerleader's phone resembles a Danger [[Wikipedia:Danger Hiptop|Sidekick]], LG [[Wikipedia:LG VX9800|The V]] or [[Wikipedia:LG VX9900|enV]], a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard intended for use with text messaging.
*Class Prez's phone model, "CRKR" (short for "Cracker"), is a play on the [[Wikipedia:Motorola|Motorola]] cellular phone KRZR. The name itself is also a play on the recent naming of cell phones after foods like the [[Wikipedia:LG Chocolate (VX8500)|LG Chocolate]] and the [[Wikipedia:BlackBerry|BlackBerry]]. This could also explain why Class Prez's phone has a bite taken out of it.
*The Technological Romance robot sings in a tune similar to the song "[[Wikipedia:Technologic|Technologic]]" by [[Wikipedia:Daft Punk|Daft Punk]].
*"Gag me with a spoon!!" was a popular 1980s catchphrase, commonly associated with cheerleaders and other "[[Wikipedia:Valley girl|Valley Girl]]" stereotypes, used to indicate disgust or disapproval.

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

'''RYAN:''' Is this the only one that's red?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a special Valentine's color. Uh, well, you know, the 10th one's in ''color'', but it's not red.

'''RYAN:''' ''Full'' color.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. This was written with the teacher's pen, Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Have you ever had to deliver any bad news to a fruit cup, Ryan?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' It's really awkward. They don't take it well!

'''MATT:''' Oh, here comes the Formula 1— the famous Formula 1 fork racer! ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Why does she have three little... arrows coming down from the word cloud?

'''MATT:''' Oh, Mindy.

'''RYAN:''' She was three?

'''MATT:''' She was the cheap cheerleader ''{unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, there was a... our friend, Rusty, got me a book one time called "Programmed For Love". It was like a... junior high romance novel that was from the early 80s.

'''MATT:''' Had a robot in it?

'''MIKE:''' No, but it was, like... computer based. It was all the technology in the early 80s. Reminds me—

'''MATT:''' The Class Prez has some Birkenstocks on, looks like.

'''RYAN:''' Have you ever owned any Birkenstocks?

'''MATT:''' I have not. Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Did you ever have a pair?

'''RYAN:''' I didn't. My mom—

'''MIKE:''' Tevas, maybe?

'''RYAN:''' Tiv''o''

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

'''RYAN:''' I've used Tivo.

'''MIKE:''' What about Doc Martens?

'''MATT:''' I never had a pair.

'''MIKE:''' I never had a pair.

'''RYAN:''' I may have had one, but it was way late in the game.

'''MATT:''' I was a Chuck Taylor man all the time.

'''RYAN:''' They were pricey.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was the main thing. I was like, I'm not shelling out a hundred bucks for these.

'''RYAN:''' I like that the Chucks came in one in style, so if you kept wearin' 'em, you were going to be cool at least—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you can't go wrong.

'''MATT:''' ''{unintelligible}'' wrap-around.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to his left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera pans to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Duck Pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>

Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*When the Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.

===Goofs===
*In the clip from [[long pants]], the words that are on the screen are one line lower than they should be.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelt "sibby".
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing was not there when Strong Bad said "e-mail thunder".

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 5, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays either the [[Instruments|flute or the fife]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room. (Creepily, it seems to be the future e-mail Strong Bad will send in about 2 minutes 25 seconds!!)
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "draw Trogdor again."
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]]. Also, sbemail24 focuses on [[the bird]], which may be another possible reason it was banned.
*"Squeazeled" is a [[portmanteau]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating Homestar's accent. He [[Strong Bad Smiling|then smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down. Strangely, while the Happy sparked and fizzed when Mountain Dew was poured on it, the Compy did not have any problems.
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an acronym for "What the Crap?", recalling "[[Holy Crap]]", which was Strong Bad's favorite saying before it was overused by emailers. This is a play on the Internet slang acronym "WTF".

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle", by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]], or to the song "Michelle" by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Ironically, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go! ''{presses enter; [[email thunder#Trivia|up pops an email addressed to Homestar]]}'' Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked about burglars breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to his left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

New Paper

Mechamind90 — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:41:17 GMT

Mechamind90: /* Abnormal Sayings */

[[Image:New Paper.png|thumb|350px|Preeow 2.0]]
'''New Paper''' is the replacement for [[The Paper|The original Paper]] after its printer broke in the 173rd email, [[the paper]] (just as foretold in the email [[montage]]). It usually reads:
{| cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #7f7f7f; text-align:center;font-family: 'ocr a extended';width:350px"
|-
| Click here to email Strong Bad strongbad@homestarrunner.com
|}

Unlike its predecessor, New Paper comes from an inkjet printer capable of printing color, although it is permanently short of ink. It usually features color pictures of a key from a keyboard reading "@" and Strong Bad's head in an envelope to the left and right of the text, respectively. Like The Paper, New Paper normally prints out upside-down, and as a result it is somehow losing ink on its leading edge, rather than the trailing edge.

Its first printing sound effect, according to [[Strong Bad]], was "[[onomatopoeia|Heunh heownh heunh heownh vvvvvt eangt clonk-a-donk]]". The sound effect was shortened to "vvvvvt eangt clonk-a-donk" beginning with New Paper's second appearance ([[mini-golf]]).

==Strong Bad's initial reactions to New Paper==
For the next five emails after New Paper's introduction, a [[running gag]] existed involving Strong Bad's displeasure with it. From [[pizza joint]] onward, New Paper has managed to print itself out without any problems, setbacks, or criticisms.

*In [[the paper]], Strong Bad dislikes the new sound that New Paper makes. He declares that it is on "trial status" and insists that it impress him. New Paper's first attempt at doing so was to print out an [[ASCII Art|ASCII picture]] of a butt made from hyphens and dollar signs, which was judged to be a partial success.

*In [[mini-golf]], New Paper comes down early while Strong Bad was still answering the email. He then angrily asks it to go back up. In the end, when New Paper comes down in time, he asks if it's ever not running out of ink.

*In [[concert]], Strong Bad further expresses his displeasure with the sound that the New Paper makes, and sticks a floppy disk in it to make more of a scratchy sound.

*In [[hygiene]], Strong Bad is disappointed further when New Paper runs a calibration test (though you can still click on it to email Strong Bad), also remarking that it keeps sucking just enough to stay interesting.

*In [[original]], Strong Bad asks New Paper to disappoint him. It responds by falling off the screen after printing. Strong Bad comments that when it comes to disappointing, New Paper never disappoints.

*In [[bike thief]], New Paper is printed with the old Paper's green and white stripe design. This doesn't fool Strong Bad, but he admits it does make him feel "a little better".

Since The New Paper came down in a separate area from Strong Bad in the next two emails ([[pizza joint]] and [[slumber party]]), [[web comics]] would mark the first time Strong Bad does not take the opportunity to insult it.

==Abnormal Sayings==

Just like The Paper, New Paper has displayed messages other than the standard "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad" link.

*In the email [[the paper]], it prints out an [[ASCII Art|ASCII picture]] of a butt made from hyphens and dollar sign above the usual email information, along with the text "but, a butt".
*In the email [[concert]], it reads "How ya like me now?" above the usual email information.
*In the email [[hygiene]], it runs a calibration test as opposed to the usual email information. Clicking on it will produce the usual response.
*In the email [[environment]], it prints with the text "Click gently to eco-mail Strong Bad" and "printed on 100% post-consumer brown paper with green ink". The pictures have been replaced with small green pine trees with @-symbols inside.
*In the [[Podstar Runner]] versions of Strong Bad Emails, it simply reads, "the end," just like The Paper did in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] and podcast versions, but with no capitalization. The images of the "@" key and Strong Bad's head in an envelope are present as well.
*In the short [[Place Ya Bets!]], it reads "Place Your bets, people!"
*In [[email thunder]], it says "[[Homestar Runner]]" instead of "Strong Bad", and it says "DJmankiewicz" instead of "strongbad" at homestarrunner.com.

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go! ''{reading}'' Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''! WTC? New paper, Print me out a hard copy. I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. '''{Thunder booms}''' B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em." Like that old classic when they asked about burglers breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, Poo. Poo, Poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the moose lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' yawn. Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from long pants, where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to his left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:'' hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on old timer. It's not so bad, you want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' No, I don't want to help you check your email! I want to help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder!

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a long "A", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera pans to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. "Apply libewally!" Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{The Paper sparks, and burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of all two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning. Since both his hands are moving while he trills G to A, it doesn't seem that he has a C# trill key.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>
*WTC stands for "What The [[Crap]]"

===Remarks===

*When this email was first released, the rolling thunder heard when Strong Bad mentions "email thunder" was absent.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelt "sibby".

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning. Since both his hands are moving while he trills G to A, it doesn't seem that he has a C# trill key.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>
*WTC stands for "What The [[Crap]]"

===Remarks===

*When this email was first released, the rolling thunder heard when Strong Bad mentions "email thunder" was absent.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelt "sibby".

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 5, 2005.
*In this email, the cheat plays either the [[Instruments|flute or the fife]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "draw Trogdor again."
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]]. Also, sbemail24 focuses on [[the bird]], which may be another possible reason it was banned.
*"Squeazeled" is a [[portmanteau]].
*[[The Paper]] returns to beat up [[New Paper]], making it the first appearance of the original since the email [[the paper]]
*Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally," imitating Homestar's accent. Strangely, while the Happy sparked and fizzed when Mountain Dew was poured on it, the Compy did not have any problems.

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle", by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Ironically, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.

Mechamind90: /* List of Poorly Written E-mails */

[[Image:Lackofpunction winner sbemail.png|250px|thumb|"Well, let's just see here... Zero capitalization... Misspelling... Lack of punctuation... Looks like a winner to me!"]]
[[Strong Bad]] regularly receives '''[[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with poor grammar and spelling''', which he rarely hesitates to point out.

While many emails do contain these sort of errors, this list only contains errors that are either famous in their own right or have affected how Strong Bad read the email.

Sing Along

Mechamind90 — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 21:32:47 GMT

Mechamind90: /* Remarks */

[[Image:strongbadwithnomouthfromthesingalong.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Sing along with no mouth Strong Bad]]

'''Sing Along''' is an [[Unfinished Cartoons|unused feature]] with {{Film|Strong Bad}} and {{Film|Homestar Runner}}. It is currently a [[secret page]], as it is not accessible from any other page on the site.

It features two blue squares and Strong Bad and Homestar singing quietly and simultaneously in the background. When you mouse over the left square, Homestar will appear onscreen without mouth movements and his song will become louder. The right square does the same with Strong Bad, who lacks a mouth.

== Lyrics ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Once I knew this guy 
And he made two different pies 
And one of them was apple 
And one of them was something that I probably shouldn't mention 
So I'm not going to... mention

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER: '''And now the love 
That lasts forever 
Has come to its end

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*If you hold your mouse button down when it is over a square and drag it off you can hear the characters sing without having to have your mouse over a square.
**If you do the same thing with the other character, the characters will both be on screen and both will sing loudly, as if you had your mouse over both of them.
*Strong Bad will always overlap Homestar if you choose to hover over both of them and drag the mouse off.

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's song is based on "The Rose" by Amanda McBroom.

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's song would later end up in the [[Homestar Runner Desktop Theme]].

''{The scene starts out on a screen that resembles the "Address Not Found" screen of [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]]. Strong Sad appears from the bottom of the frame, wearing a Deleteheads hat.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{wags his finger}'' Oh, no you don't! The Deleteheads started—

''{The scene shifts to the right, revealing Strong Mad and The Cheat in their Deleteheads hats standing next to a tent and an ice chest.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —camping out for sbemail 200 weeks ago! ''{points with his thumb over his shoulder}'' Back of the line!

''{The scene shifts further right, revealing that they are the only ones there. A tumbleweed rolls behind them.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' But there's really no one else here yet, so ''{reappears from the bottom of the frame}'' you can get right behind us. We're gonna play "Name That Inconsistency" later on if you want to join us.

''{Strong Sad gets right in the viewer's face, causing Strong Mad and The Cheat to jump.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{angrily}'' Don't even think about eating any of our Sun Chips! I packed those special!

*The fake page load error reads:
<blockquote>
'''Address Not Found''' 
 
The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
* Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? Did you grandma?
* Are you certain this domain name exists? Its registration may have expired.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection, DNS server settings, and self before you riggidy-wreck yourself.

=== Remarks ===
*The "Try Again" button restarts the toon.
*[[Homsar]] and the [[Cinder Block]] are not with the rest of the Deleteheads.
*This toon uses the Firefox page error screen, although previous toons used the Internet Explorer 404 page, such as [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] and [[The System is Down]].
*This toon, like [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], uses the URL 'sbemail200', meaning that the real 200th email will have an irregular URL like [[flashback]].
*Strong Sad claims to have been camping out for weeks, but on the monday before this toon could be found, the short [[Place ya Bets!]] had them betting on sbemail 200 in their normal meeting place.

=== Inside References ===
*Strong Sad previously camped out in the email [[rated]] with the same tent and cooler.
*The empty sound used when it is revealed that the Deleteheads are alone was also used in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] and [[The System is Down]].

Where's an Egg?

[[Image:wheresanegg.PNG|thumb|A renegade cop with nothing to lose and an egg on his mind.]]
[[Image:Where'sAnEggboxart.png‎|thumb|Where's an Egg? box art. Где – Яйцо?]]
''"In this hard-bolied  adventure game, you must help the Boise police force find a missing egg. Not in Mancuso's garage? Try Brodermaker's gymbag. Everyone's a suspect when 'Where's an Egg?' is the game that you are playing. And that's this game!!"'' -[[Videlectrix]]

'''Where's an Egg?''' is a game by [[Videlectrix]].

'''Date:''' Monday, July 16, 2007

'''Page Title:''' Where's an Egg?

==Instructions==
The object of the game is to find an egg that one of the suspects is hiding. The task is a variation of the [[Wikipedia:Knights and Knaves|Knights and Knaves]] puzzle, in which suspects either always lie or always tell the truth. After you think you know who or where an egg is, you go to that location and shoot the suspect, who will give up an egg if you have guessed correctly.

After clicking on the title screen, you are presented with several locations in a city. Clicking on the thumbnails will take you to those locations, at which you will encounter a suspect with an item. From the menu at the bottom of the screen, you can choose one of any of the items or suspects you've encountered. When you choose an item, the suspect will tell you the location where that item can be found or the suspect who has it. When you choose a suspect from your menu, the character on the screen will tell you where that suspect can be found or what item they have. Once again, they may or may not be telling the truth.

There are three other notable replies you may receive. If you ask a suspect about himself or about the items he carries, he will respond with a [[Wikipedia:smiley|smiley face]]. If you ask a suspect about anything after shooting him, he will respond with a red cross. Also, if you ask a suspect about an egg and he replies with a question mark, he does not have any information about the location of an egg.

== Strategy ==
Since a given suspect either always lies or always tells the truth, their reply about the location of an egg can be tested by asking them questions to which you know the answer. For example, if they give you information about an egg, you can ask them about an item and verify that the location or suspect with which they reply indeed corresponds to that item. If the answer they give is correct, then the location of an egg that they give is correct as well.

The above method can be modified by first asking about the first person or item you have seen, then if the suspect answers correctly, ask about an egg. Continue asking all the suspects the same question until you find a person who gives a correct answer and knows about an egg. If none are found, revisit your first person and ask about an egg. Then simply find the culprit and shoot them.

In some cases, a lying suspect may reveal themselves as such by giving the same answer for two different questions (e.g., suggesting that two different characters have a potted plant) or, due to a programming error, even answering with their own face when questioned about a different item.

Another strategy is to ask every suspect the location of an egg until you have two replies that agree. In that case, it is likely, though not certain, that the suspect they incriminate indeed has an egg.

In order to keep accurate track of which person matches which object, just quickly visit all of the locations before asking anyone a question. This will cause each person and their object to appear in the same order at the bottom of the screen. Once you have visited all locations, start asking each person where an egg is. Once you find someone who replies, figure out if they are a truth-teller or a liar by seeing if their responses properly match up people to their object. If they are a truth-teller, move on to asking about an egg. If they tell the truth, you know who has an egg.

However, one haphazard strategy is to simply shoot three random people. This gives a 1 in 3 chance of winning, with no real effort.

Usually, if a suspect you know is lying accuses another person, they are the culprit.

== Suspects, locations, and items ==
Suspects, locations, and items are randomly assigned for each game.

== Endings ==
[[Image:Where's an egg loose screen.PNG|thumb|Lose screen]]
If you run out of time or shoot three characters who do not have an egg, the game ends. The character who did have an egg is shown running with it through the area they were in, and the main character is shown in Siberia wearing prison clothes and a ball-and-chain. He quickly turns into a skeleton.

[[Image:Where's an egg win screen.PNG|thumb|left|Win screen]]
If you successfully reclaim an egg, a uniformed man (probably [[Wikipedia:Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]) awards you with a badge in front of [[Wikipedia:Lenin's Mausoleum|Lenin's Mausoleum]]. The screen pans up to the sky, where fireworks shoot off. If the game was completed with enough time left on the clock, different spaceships fly through the sky:
*901–940 seconds left — one spaceship
*941–970 seconds left — two spaceships
*971 or more seconds left — three spaceships, the last of which is exited by a cosmonaut

{{clear}}

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This game was released more than two and a half years after its description was featured on the Videlectrix website. The [[main page message]] announcing its release read: '''new' videlectrix game!''
*The language used in the game is [[wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]], and is understandable to a native speaker, although there are various grammatical and stylistic errors (see [[#Translations|Translation section]]).
*After shooting someone who does not have an egg, you can still question them and they will reply with the symbol for the [[Wikipedia:International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement|Red Cross]] (indicating they require medical attention). The Red Cross has recently been [http://www.redcross.ca/article.asp?id=016637&tid=001 trying to stop game creators from using their logo this way].
*In every game, there are either three or four suspects who tell the truth, and either three or four suspects who will give an answer when asked about an egg. Three is more common in both cases. 
*Each suspect has a theme song that plays when you visit them.
**If a suspect talks about another person, that person's theme plays in the right speaker.
**If you ask about another person, that person's theme plays in the left speaker.
**If you shoot a suspect, their theme song volume is lowered.
**The victory music is all of the suspects' themes played on top of each other.
*Where's an Egg? is shown on a [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy disk]] in the introductions for [[strongbad_email.exe]] Discs [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Three|Three]] and [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five|Five]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:Eggpage2.jpg|thumb|Page 13 of the instruction manual]]
*A [[Videlectrix:eggction.html|page of the manual]] was also made available at the same time as the game was released.
*Although the Videlectrix description suggests that an egg may be in "Mancuso's garage", a garage is not one of the locations in the game, although there is a mechanic.

===Goofs===
*For the first second of the game, the timer reads 000, when its true value is 999. One second later, it changes to 998. If you manage to win in that first second, it will read 999 on the victory screen.
*The game has a check to prevent liars from replying with their own picture, item, or location, but a programming error allows them to answer with their own picture when questioned about an item that isn't theirs, or the egg.

===Glitches===
*If you shoot the last bullet at the wrong person right before time is up, when the clock runs to 000, you will be presented with a win screen with the perpetrator sliding across the screen and the lose screen in Siberia. Then you are presented with a medal.

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[eggs]] and [[alcohol]].
*The main character wields a [[gun]].
*All of the suspects [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]].
*[[Some Type of Online Auction]] was previously used to sell a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[english paper]].
*The red-haired boy shares several features with both [[Kid Speedy]] and [[Ron Cumberdale]] from [[Peasant's Quest]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Boise, Idaho|Boise]] is the capital city of the US state [[Wikipedia:Idaho|Idaho]].
*Brodermaker is a reference to video game company [[Wikipedia:Brøderbund|Brøderbund]], makers of the [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]] games.
**This game is also very similar, in some aspects, to the early Carmen Sandiego games.
*The music at the beginning of the game accompanying the Videlectrix logo is from the traditional Russian [[Wikipedia:The Volga Boatmen's Song|Song of the Volga Boatmen]].
*The three spacecraft that fly across the screen in the ending sequence are [[Wikipedia:Sputnik 1|Sputnik 1]], [[Wikipedia:Vostok 1|Vostok 1]], and [[Wikipedia:Voskhod 2|Voskhod 2]], commemorating three "firsts" of the Russian space program: the first artificial satellite, the [[Wikipedia:Yuri Gagarin|first man in space]], and the [[Wikipedia:Aleksei Leonov|first spacewalk]], respectively.
**The congratulation scene is reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] and [[Wikipedia:NES|NES]] versions of [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]] (a game that is famous for having come out of Russia), in which the player was shown rocket and shuttle launches of spacecraft at the end of a game depending on how well the player did.
*Gameplay bears certain superficial similarities to the board game [[Wikipedia:Cluedo|Clue]], being a [[Wikipedia:Whodunit|whodunit]] wherein a specific accusation must be formulated from a set of distinct suspects, items and locations.
*The scene where the main character is stuck in icy mountains with a ball and chain is a reference to the old Russian practice of [[Wikipedia:Gulag|exiling criminals]] to [[Wikipedia:Siberia|Siberia]], which is a cold, mountainous region of Russia.

[[Image:50cake.png|thumb|"I think I'm gonna puke my pants!"]]

Using ingredients both edible and inedible, [[characters]] in the [[Homestar Runner universe]] create culinary '''concoctions'''— mixtures of foods not usually found together. Results range from the delightful to the disgusting. Completed concoctions are then usually consumed by said characters.

Blatant Lies

Mechamind90 — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 22:16:07 GMT

Mechamind90: /* Other */

[[Image:Notswimpractice.PNG|thumb|"On Saturday I certainly '''don't''' wake up at 6 A.M., put on a [[Wikipedia:Speedo|Speedo]], and go to swim practice."]]
Several [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters, most notably [[Strong Bad]], have been known to '''lie blatantly''' to one another or to the audience, often in an attempt to persuade others of the veracity of a situation, when in fact the opposite is extremely obvious.

==Appearances==
===Strong Bad Emails===
*Email [[sugarbob]] — Strong Bad types in different colors and fonts to try to convince the emailer's girlfriend that he is taken by several other girlfriends.
*Email [[lures & jigs]] — Strong Bad nervously insists he knows about [[Strong Bad's Ladies|the ladies]], mere seconds after casually admitting he knows nothing about them.
*Email [[huttah!]] — Strong Bad asserts that cheese and anvils are two of the finest things in life, after [[The Cheat]] walks in on his claiming that The Cheat resembles these two items. Also, he then tapes a piece of paper reading "the cheat" on the [[Compy 386]] to make it look as if emails to him are to The Cheat.
*Email [[stunt double]] — Strong Bad says that he doesn't use a stunt double. When ''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1'' is then shown, it is obvious that [[Strong Sad]] is Strong Bad's stunt double.
*Email [[different town]] — Strong Bad is singing while standing on the stool when Strong Sad walks in. Strong Bad claims that he was just checking the lights, even though the ceiling of the [[Computer Room]] is far too high for him to reach.
*Email [[crying]] — When Strong Bad begins to sniffle over [[Li'l Brudder]], he runs off claiming that he just has "a food" in the oven.
*Email [[other days]] — Strong Bad tries to convince the viewer that on Saturdays, he does not go to swim practice, and instead takes battle axe lessons. In an [[Easter egg]], Strong Sad is seen telling Strong Bad that they are late for swim practice.
*Email [[extra plug]] — After saying that the hot girl that he will be dancing with will be The Cheat, Strong Bad catches himself and states that it will be an actual hot girl.
*Email [[part-time job]] — Strong Bad sings "Comin' in to work on time.." while coming to his job at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] 15 minutes late.
*Email [[secret identity]] — Strong Bad says that his secret identity is The Poopsmith, only to be disproven when The Poopsmith himself walks in. He and the Poopsmith have also been seen together on numerous occasions.
*Email [[2 emails]] — Strong Bad says that he is holding the [[Ladies' Choice Awards]], but no ladies show up.
*Email [[kids' book]] — Strong Bad claims to have written a children's book, though it is clear he simply scratched out the author's name and replaced it with his own.
*Email [[local news]] — Strong Bad says that he has to go and do something completely unrelated to throwing together the local news that the sender of this email asked about.

Strong Bad educates us on the free toys found in cereal boxes.

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

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Badia]], [[Marzipan's House]]

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' Monday, April 21, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 3:08

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' If everybody in the world checked their email, the Internet would probably break.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: cerial box toys</div>
Hey ho, Strongbad. 
What kind of free toys would you put in specially marked 
cerial boxes? 
PB 
Over the hills 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads 'Hey ho, Strongbad' as 'Hey! Ho! Strongbad!' (as if it was from "[[Wikipedia:Blitzkrieg Bop|Blitzkrieg Bop]]", [[specially marked#Real-World References|see below]]) and 'cerial' as 'keh-ree-al'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh, I'm glad you asked Problem Brian. I've been wanting to give specially marked boxes of cereal a specially marked piece of my mind for some time now.

''{A dotted-line circle appears near the top of Strong Bad's head. Two lines appear, going from the circle to a new circle, this time larger and in front of Strong Bad's head. In the bigger circle, there is a picture of Strong Bad's brain.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I choose...this piece.

''{An arrow points to a spot on the left side of Strong Bad's brain. He clears the screen, and the circles disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well before you get the toys inside, you first have to navigate the treacherous, jaggedy rock filled class 5 rapids of specially marked cereal box fake outs! Luckily, I'm a lame sandal wearing hippie with a ponytail that's been down these rapids with groups of tourists many times!

''{Cuts to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat, wearing a ponytail and a helmet, respectively, are in the 'Riverquest Safariventure' box, with a hose running in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok guys, now I'm gonna need everyone to lean hard to the right! ''{Strong Bad pulls out some sort of microphone and makes a clicking noise}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad walks in from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first hazard you have to watch out for is cereals with anything grown in Iowa in the name. You know...

''{Music starts to play in the background.}''

''{As Strong Bad says the items, boxes of Corn Krunch, Wheat Chaff, Oh T'meel, Cripsy Hog Crunchities, and Fundament-o's appear, in that order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...corn, wheat, oats, hogs, fundamentally-sound college basketball players. Please, to stay away from these. Those cereals only ever put fitness-related crap in specially marked boxes.

''{A picture of a step counter appears against a blue background. In flashing letters on the bottom, it says 'One Free TakesteppaTM Step Take Monitor!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Oh, great! I can count how many steps I took today!

''{A picture of a defibrillator appears on-screen. At the top of the screen, it reads 'Clear?! One FreeTM Defib Kit Inside!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Fantastic! I can restart my heart if it stops!

''{Cut back to Marzipan's kitchen, where Strong Bad's face is on a box of 'Hypothetic-O's'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What you do want to look for are cereals with sound effects in the name.

''{The box flies off-screen. When Strong Bad names the sound effects, boxes of Fruit Smax, Chocolate Breakfast Candy Bar Pops, Soundy Puffs, Blue Laser Blasts, and Sugar Rittled Gunshots in a Crowded Mall appear in order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Smacks, pops, puffs, blasts, and, um, gunshots in a crowded mall.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen. X, explosion, boxing glove, square, shoe, and [[Marshie]] shaped marshmallows appear around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, the kind with the squarish, sugared pieces of styrofoam that they claim are marshmallows. These are guaranteed to have a nice, big—

''{Cut to a dirty Strong Bad hand reaching in the box of Cheat Commandos...O's}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —reach-your-nasty-unwashed-hand-straight-to-the-bottom-of-the-box toy in it.

''{Strong Bad pulls out a [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] figure in its blister pack}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen with a box of Fruit Smax on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next up are the three most useless letters in the specially marked alphabet.

''{Zoom to Strong Bad's mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' U...P...C.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you spot these wastes of serif on a cereal box,

''{Cut to a bar code}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' turn and run as fast as you can.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' This means not only are they gonna make you buy ''{six more boxes of Fruit Smax appear}'' several more boxes that you have to cut the bar codes off of, but you're also gonna—

''{Cut to a close shot of a Cereal Flakes box. Above, the red text reads "FREE PLUSH CEREAL BOX" and the black text reads "WITH 25 PROOFS OF PURCHASE AND $15 SHIPPING AND HANDLING"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —have to involve your mom to write a check for the shipping and handling if she's back from Vegas!

''{Record scratch. Cut back to Strong Bad standing, talking angrily}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The nerve of those cereals! You leave my mom ''{slams fist on the table}'' out of this!

''{Screen changes, there is now a box of Cheat Commandos...O's on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Some cereals can't even be bothered with a toy at all.

''{Cut to the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They try and pass off the back of the box—

''{Box flips, revealing a cutout of Crack Stuntman's head, with holes at the sides so that it can be made into a mask. On the top left are scissors indicating that it can be cut out and the words "snip snip".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as some kind of prize. ''{Zoom in on the mask}'' That dotted line you expect me to cut along is like a toyless slap in my face! Masks,

''{The image of Crack's face becomes a maze. [[Gunhaver]] appears in the bottom left at the maze's entrance, with a caption reading "Help! I'm lost!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' mazes,

''{The top part of the maze becomes a word search, most of which consists of uncommon letters, like "Q", while the words "'''BUY MORE CEREAL'''" appear in bold. [[Reynold]] is seen on the upper right, with a caption reading "Find 3 words!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' word searches, PAH!

''{Throws box, cut back to Strong Bad standing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know the kind of kids that enjoyed these funtivities on the backs of cereal boxes, and let me tell you, they were real easy to beat up.

''{Homestar Runner walks in wearing a Crack Stuntman mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah, Strong Bad, blah! I'm a crappy Stuntman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what kind of toys I'd put in specially marked boxes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anything ''{Reaches into a cereal box}'' heavy and pointy enough ''{Zoom in on box}'' to do lasting damage to the face.

''{Zooms out as Strong Bad takes out a chainsaw-car and throws it at Homestar, knocking him backwards onto the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wahhhh! Strong Bad, while I'm down here, can you help me finish this word search? I can't find 'dextrose-flavornoids'.

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

=== Real-World References ===
[[Image:SBbrain.PNG|150px|thumb|Strong Bad's brain]]

Mechamind90: /**/Math fact

== What's new link ==
Dunno what i cans do about it, but the link to the sbemail is broked. It links to sbemail.190.html (that is, there's an extra dot). Someone with the privilege needs to fix this right quick. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 06:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:Nvm. Fixed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
== Blackhead-Flaced Janice ==
Should it be pointed out that Blackhead-Flaced Janice is a joke on the misspelling of Pilmple-faced Bill? Is it possible to over-"over-analyze"?
:Give the [[HRWiki:Standards]] a read. I'd say this qualifies as both obvious and explaining the joke. So... no. [[User:64.198.255.1|64.198.255.1]] 20:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's Song ==

although it's similar, the song homestar's singing isn't the one from [[anything]] and [[the paper]]. that one comes from "never-ending story", but this one is different. i don't know where it's from, but i'm still deleting that inside reference. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 07:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:I'm considering the "Sail Away, Sail Away, Sail Away" part of [[Wikipedia:Orinoco Flow|Orinoco Flow]] by [[Wikipedia:Enya|Enya]]? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 08:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::i can see what you're coming from, but he says the line 4 times instead of three, so i'm guessing it's something else. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::It reminds me more of the Hot Hot Heat song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdk8J1OOiJA Bandages], but again he says it four times instead of three. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 15:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Sounds a lot like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA "Walking on Broken Glass"] by Annie Lennox [[User:Havl|Havl]] 20:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::That's really not how the song goes at all.[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 00:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:It sounds to me like the Flintstone kids theme. "Yabba dab yabba dab yabba dabba do" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scpjpz3ReMI FSK]
::Well, apparently, if everyone thinks it's something different, it has to be TTATOT.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Not necessarily, because it's possible that all but one of those people are wrong. :)
::::Just to clarify: the song Homestar sings in [[anything]] is the same tune as the themesong from The Neverending Story; that's an objective fact that can be demonstrated by anyone who knows musical notation. If a bunch of people came in saying "I think it sounds like the theme from Night Court!" and "No, it's totally 'Yesterday' by the Beatles!" and "Wait, I could swear I heard that tune in a Bach fugue somewhere" and "Are you sure it isn't from Merzbow's new album?", that wouldn't make it TTATOT. It would still actually be a reference to The Neverending Story, and all those other people would just be wrong.
:::::No, it's not the same. It's starts the same, but the end is different enough to make it obviously not the same.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I think you misread me. I'm talking about the song in [[anything]] ("The neverending soda"), not the one in [[licensed]]. I was using it as an example of a clear, indisputible reference, to make a more general point about the definition of "TTATOT." This new one isn't a clear, indisputible reference to anything I've heard, although obviously I haven't heard everything.
:::I agree with the Flintstones Kids theme. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::There are a lot of unsigned posts here, but I am making the judgement that this is a TTATOT connection, and unless a really positive match arises for this to be a parody of, it's not anything. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::I think the above people are onto something with the Flintstones Kids theme. For those who have knocked it, to clarify: this is referring to the 90's cartoon show, not the vitamin jingle, which is nothing alike. The idea's not too far-fetched, and we ''know'' TBC have heard of it from the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|TGS 7]] commentary. Shall maybe everyone give it a listen to be sure? I'm pulling it out of a decade-old memory here, avoiding listening to the link, and I think it's a fair match. Should they be doing it from memory, like I am, isn't a teeny bit of off-keyness expected? Plus, I mean...it's Homestar. He's flat allthedang time. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 14:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::: Yes, it sounds sort of kind of almost like the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xomL0HKwS0k Flintstone Kids] theme song, but it sounds as much like everything else mentioned above. I vote for TTATOT. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 14:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::The most convincing thing here is "walking on broken glass" which i have never heard, so i don't know if it sounds like it or not, but makes sense as it's ABOUT broken glass... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Check it out. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA "Walking on Broken Glass"] [[User:Havl|Havl]] 18:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I have to go with "Walking on Broken Glass," too. Yes, the tune HR sings has similarities to other tunes as well (which can't really be avoided, it's essentially "three notes, pause, three notes, pause, etc)", taking the subject matter of that song into account, it'd be too big of a coincidence to ignore, imo. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 22:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::But "Walking on Broken Glass" goes note, up a note, down a note (ie, same as the first). Homestar's song goes note, note, down a half note (except for the first "Broken glass" which admittedly has almost the same pattern, ie note, up a note, down a half note). [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 01:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I agree that it's not exactly the same, which is why I'm actually more hesitant than my first post makes me out to be, looking at it again. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 03:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Juys. I'm that age where I know all these tunes. It's not any of them. At all. Trust me. I cannot yet divine what, if anything, that tune refers to. (Are you aware I perform and figure out songs professionally?) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:04, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::your job is to figure out what songs are being lampooned by others? huh. at any rate, no, i don't think most people were aware. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 05:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

=="Human noses?"==

Does Strong Bad imply that he is not human? Has this ever happened before?
:I was wondering about that myself. I know it was in a quick joke, and may not hold a lot of weight, but I think something like whether or not you're human isn't something that you casually contradict in a joke with out paying attention. You wouldn't say "It looks just like me except with a human nose" even as a joke, unless it was already given that you weren't human, or at least weren't considered human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::well, no matter how you look at it, he ''doesn't'' have a human nose, just like how homestar and the like don't have arms or pants, and those are mentioned all the time, too. i don't think it has much bearing on ''what'' anybody is. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Except he said "human nose". It would have been just like Homestar's arms if he just said "nose". The humor in that, just like the humor in [[fingers]] is adding something to him that he should have but obviously doesn't. It's the same way with the word human. The humor in adding a human nose to him is that he has no nose and he's not human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 09:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== A mousy description? / Coach Z can't talk. ==

First, I'm not sure about that description of the Cheat's mural picture. His pudginess and distinctive, if unlabelled, jar of Hunny seem to suggest Winnie the Pooh to me. (The antennae, obviously, are out of place.)

Second, does Coach Z say "You're toys" or "You're twice"? I definitely heard the latter, which I can imagine him saying because he's weird, but the former makes sense too. Any thoughts? -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Gunkistan? ==

Why got the Facts about Gunkistan being a portmanteau and a inside reference to Gunk Iller deleted?

:It may be because they're wrong...The portmanteau is less obviously incorrect, but technically -stan and is a suffix, a word in some language (Arabic) meaning "land," which is why it's used at the end of so many countries (Afghanistan = Land of the Afghanis, Kazakhstan = Land of the Kazakhs, etc.). This would make it not a portmanteau. As for the other one, being a reference to the Gunk Iller, I see no reason why this was up there in the first place. Gunk is a very common term for any gross, ambiguous substance.

::I disagree with you on the portmanteau subject. if you look at the [[Portmanteaus]] page you'll notice "Millionzoic", "Tenthennial" and "Geographist", all words with a general suffix. Gunkistan should be there too. Maybe I was a little off by saying that it's in particular park Pakistan, but that's the only country that have the letter K to form -kistan (Gun-Kistan).

1.) Are we sure Homestar is singing "broken glass?" because I heard "working class". 2.) Will the shady daycare be haunting anybody else's nightmares or just mine?

:"Working Class" makes no sense. The pinatas were filled with broken glass as evidenced by the multiple lacerations and shards on Homestar's face.

The kind they put right next to the check-out line, so Grandma might accidentally mistake it for the real thing." When Disney releases an animated movie, knock-off companies rush their own ultracheap adaptations of the public domain source to the stores while the big budget version's still in theaters in order to get kids and grandmas to get all excited seeing "Aladdin" (or whatever) in the store and buy it. Go look at the cheap movie bin at a drugstore or the supermarket checkout racks sometime if you've never seen these. Not Bothering To Make An Account, 37:94 Forty-Terst Decembuary 20X8.

When this email was first released, didn't Strong Bad reference that the email was released Tuesday night. I am guessing they have changed it but I remember him saying that. ---[[User:Lefaid]]
:Maybe you're thinking of [[yes, wrestling]]? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:Or [[ghosts]] (where he remarks on how it's not Monday)? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks it was it was [[yes, wrestling]] 9:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== Math fact ==

Much like the possibility in #152 ([[isp]]), the number of this email is a multiple of #38 ([[helium]]), so do you think that would have something to do with the cheat puffing like a balloon?

'''STRONG BAD:'''
I had to pay my doctor just to have this email removed. A-so smooth.

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
I know you think being mean is fun, but I'm trying to teach 
my kids that that isn't right. Can you say something about 
being nice and point out why being mean isn't always the 
best choice. Thanks! 
-Nice Dad</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You're coming to ''me'' for nice lessons? You expect ''me'' to tell your wussy kids that being mean isn't the best choice? I wonder what other gems are in your sent mail outbox.

''{Strong bad types in other_gems.exe, bringing up another email, accompanied by a ding.}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Hungry Shark, 
I'm trying to teach my wounded, bleeding sea lions that 
tearing other creatures apart is not the answer, and I 
immediately thought of you!! 
Your Pal, 
Nice Dad</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad picks up a drawing of a bloody-toothed shark at a computer with the caption "HUNGRY SHARK EMAiLS" when he says "thought of you."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And there's probably one like...

''{Strong Bad types more_other_gems.exe as he says this, bringing up a third email.}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey 42 year-old game playing man-child that still lives with his ex-wife's parents, 
It's me, Nice Dad! The boys need a lesson about 
responsibility and personal hygiene. Got time to stop by tonight 
between Goblin Keep Sieges? 
-N.D.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad picks up a drawing of a goblin with the caption "GOBLiN KEEP SiEGE" when he says "Goblin Keep Sieges."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The only time I know of when being mean isn't the best choice is when someone nearby is holding a ''really'' tall ice cream cone.

''{Cut to the Field. Homestar has an ice cream cone that towers above the top of the screen. Ice cream truck music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey wow, Homestar. That's a great same-shirt-you-always-wear you have on today.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Strong Bad. Did you want some of my...

''{Strong Bad approaches him and kicks him in the leg, sending the ice cream cone flying and landing on his face in pieces.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wahahahaha!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, wait. Being mean is the best choice there too. Look, this is clearly not a job for me Nice Dad (translation: Uncool Dad). When it comes to teaching kids about behavior and choices and various other words from parenting books, there's only one place to look for answers, the Drama Club!

''{Cut to the King of Town in the Classroom. The camera "rotates" around him until it faces him straight-on.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Listen up, class. Instead of watching me doze off for the last ten minutes like we usually do, I've got a special treat for you all today. The drama club is going to perform a state-required skit about being nice, so we can avoid losing our accreditation! Now, give it up... for Coach Z's Nicetown Players!

''{Cut to the side of the room. The lights dim as Coach Z, Marzipan, and Strong Mad enter. They get into various still poses. A couple claps are heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You suck.

''{Slow music begins to play. A spotlight goes up on Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, man. What a great pratty. I wonder what kid's house this is.

''{The spotlight goes out, and another one comes up on Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I wonder if he likes me. Will I make the team? I wish my parents would stop fighting.

''{The spotlight goes out, and a third comes up on Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' IS THIS MY CUE?

''{The lights go up.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Pants Pull-Upper! Nice pulled-up... pants!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I shouldn't laugh, but I want to fit in. Good one, Head Male Cheerleader!

''{Strong Mad runs away.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BOO-HOO-HOO-HOO...

'''COACH Z:''' My parents' room is out of town in my car. Wanna go park out?

'''MARZIPAN:''' But what about that poor nerd?

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, who cares about...

''{Strong Mad runs in brandishing a baseball bat with spikes on the end. Marzipan screams. He swings it at Coach Z and then they all freeze. Marzipan comes forward as the lights dim. Strong Mad taps Coach Z with the bat, laughing, while she speaks.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is why be'sing mean is not always the best choice.

'''COACH Z:''' Drap it! ''{A rap beat begins to play.}'' Now being mean ain't the greatest choice! My name's Coach Z and I—

''{The King of Town appears in front of him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Aaaand we've run out of time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You suck.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See how lame that was Nice Dad? I'm sure your kids could learn all sorts of crap-kicked-out-of-them lessons from superbly acted dramatizations like that. But don't take it from me, let's hear from our resident parenting expert, Hungry Shark.

''{He holds up the Hungry Shark Emails picture again.}''

'''HUNGRY SHARK:''' Sometimes the taste of blood in the water is just so sweet, makes me wanna... I just gon... uh, I'm gonna eat your kids.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down. Strong Bad moves the picture out of its way.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When the King of Town is in the middle of the screen, click on the right-hand side of the chalkboard to change the image. It switches between an image of a [[gun]] shooting the King labeled "BANG" and a blob on the other side of him labeled "[[BRAINS]]", an Olympic stadium with a torch bearer setting the King's head ablaze, striped horns on the King's head labeled "[[croissants]]?", a [[bear]] ready to maul the King, ice cream in the King's crown labeled "ice cream 99¢", and a spear impaling the King labeled "THUCK!"
*Click on the logo on Hungry Shark's computer to hear the rest of Coach Z's rap song. The scene cuts to an album cover labeled "COACH Z GETS NOICE!" with an insert that says "Learn all sorts of crap-kicked-out-of-you lessons!"
:'''COACH Z:''' Drap it! ''{The rap beat begins to play.}'' Now being mean ain't the greatest choice! My name's Coach Z and I like to get noice! If you don't believe me, listen to my voice; I'll tell ya why being ''nice'' is the greatest choice!

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*Around its release, this email was listed as "being mean" in the Strong Bad Email menu, but "being nice" in the Toons menu.
*[[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad smiles]] while talking to Homestar, [[Strong Mad Smiling|as does Strong Mad]] in the being nice act.

===Inside References===
*The music that plays during the ice cream cone scene is the music from [[Bubs]]' [[Baloney Sammich truck]].
*Marzipan mentions the word "[[Be's|be's]]", in the same way as Homestar in [[candy product]].

===Real-World References===
* The bad acting presentation and Coach Z's rap song parody after-school good-behavior shorts popular in the late '90s, such as [[Wikipedia:Don't Copy That Floppy|Don't Copy That Floppy]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, tap your toes and check your email, oh a-tap your toes tonight... ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hey Strong Bad whats up? 
 
Can you play the Guitar? 
 
Derek Highet 
Northern California</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad has some trouble pronouncing the surname "Highet," saying, "Hig-het. Uh, hey, hi, hi-het {with the second "h" said with a [[Spanish]] accent}, hiyet—hi-yet."}''

{''Throughout the email, Strong Bad types every syllable he sings.''}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Derek. Not much, man. Yeah I can play the guitar. I know all about virtuosos ''{pause}'' and trembalos ''{pause}'' and arpeggios. ''{says it as "ar-PEG-ios, then pauses}'' I can do it all. {clears screen} I can play your basic rhythm guitar, like... ''{singing}'' jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAH, jiggidy jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAAH! ''{stops singing}'' You know, something like that. I can also play some pretty hott lixx, too. You know the kind that are just way up high on the tiny strings and you mash your fingers on 'em. ''{screen clears. Strong Bad starts singing}'' meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ''{stops singing, starts typing faster}'' Yeah, yeah and then Strong Mad comes in on his bass and he's like, ''{singing}'' dou dow da dou da da DOU da dou da dou dou dou ''{screen clears. Strong Bad stops singing}'' and The Cheat comes in on his keyboards and he's like boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boo and then I'm like "And the dragon comes in the NIIIiiiiIIIiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiIIGGHH— 

''{Strong Bad falls out of his chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh... Oh yeah!

''{Strong Bad sticks up his arm up from the bottom of the screen and lights the BMW lighter as people do at rock concerts. [[The Paper]] comes down. After a short time, the lighter singes The Paper.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"[[Wikipedia:Arpeggio|Arpeggio]]" literally means "like a harp." The [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=arpeggio term] is used to indicate that the notes of a certain [[Wikipedia:Chord (music)|chord]] are to be played quickly one after another (usually from lowest to highest) instead of at the same moment.
*"Trembalo" is not a proper musical term. Strong Bad is referring to a "[[Wikipedia:tremolo|tremolo]]." A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=tremolo tremolo] is a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Virtuoso|virtuoso]]" is a person who is exceptionally good at playing a musical instrument.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Lick (music)|lick]]" (that Strong Bad refers to when he says "hott lixx" - "hot licks", phonetically) is a short passage of notes that comprises a solo or riff, commonly for guitar in a rock setting.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the [[BMW lighter]].


===Goofs===
*The number of "jug jiggas" and "meedleys" typed does not match up to the number of "jug jiggas" and "meedleys" Strong Bad sings.
*Between "Bass" and "And", there are two spaces.
*Before Strong Bad starts typing the meedlies and the juggas, there is no sound when he switches the screen.
*Strong Bad starts typing "NIIIiiiiIIIiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiIIGGHH" about a second before he starts singing it.

===Fast Forward===
*"And the dragon comes in the night" is used again as "And the Trogdor comes in the night" in the Trogdor song in [[dragon]] and [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]] in Strong Bad's CD, ''[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]''.
**This phrase is further referenced at the end of the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
*There are some more "Jug Jiggas" during the long Flash intro on [[Strong Bad's Website]].
*Strong Mad plays the bass in the toon [[Cool Things]]. 
*Strong Bad's "Meedly Meedly..." line is downloadable in the Strong Bad Quotes Pack from the [[Downloads]] Page.
*In an Easter egg in email [[death metal]], [[What's Her Face]] asks [[Cheerleader]] if she came to see [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brainkrieg|Brainkrieg]]. Cheerleader replies, "I come for the wuggas, but stay for the jiggy juggas."
*In [[the paper]], Strong Bad ignites The Paper with his BMW Lighter and then sings "And The Paper goeth into the niiIIiiIIiiIIght!"

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

'''MIKE:''' This email is titled Guitar.

'''MATT:''' It's near and dear to our hearts.

'''MIKE:''' We grew up reading ''Guitar for the Practicing Musician'' and ''Guitar World'' and ''Metal Edge'', and um...

'''MATT:''' Rather, our brother Donnie read all of them.

'''MIKE:''' ''Hit Parade'', ''Circus Magazine''

'''MATT:''' ''Kerrang!''. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''RIP''. Remember the ''RIP''?

'''MIKE:''' I think that's, that's all of them. That's so, yeah, we um... ''{short pause}'' we knew all about virtuosos and arpeggios.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' And trembolos. I took guitar in 8th grade. I didn't, I was never very good, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. This one goes out to all those dudes that lurk around the guitar shop and won't go away, and all I want to do is buy some strings and maybe a pick and they make

'''MIKE:''' They make—

'''MATT:''' —me feel really intimidated and want to leave. And it seems like this actually appealed to a lot of, it seemed to get circulated among tab sites and sites that like guitar.

'''MIKE:''' Tab and, like, Diet Coke and—

'''MATT:''' Tablatures, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, oh, oh!

'''MATT:''' It's a term!

'''MIKE:''' I thought you were talking about die—diet sodas.

'''MATT:''' It's a guitar term. ''{pause}'' There you go, and of course, that later becomes a part of Trogdor, the song called Trogdor from website homestar.com.

'''MIKE:''' There's the first appearance of the BMW lighter.

'''MATT:''' Watch as it burns the paper! So burns.

=== Fun Facts ===
*''[[Wikipedia:Guitar World|Guitar World]]'', ''Metal Edge'', ''Kerrang!'', ''RIP'' and ''Circus Magazine'' are (or were) all music magazines. ''Hit Parade'' possibly refers to ''Hit Parader''.
*[[Wikipedia:Tab (soft drink)|Tab]] was the first diet soda produced by the [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola Company]].
*Guitar [[Wikipedia:Tablature|Tablature]] is a shorthand method of writing out music for the guitar, which specifies fingering but not specific pitch or length of notes.
*Strong Bad's rhythm guitar sounds remarkably similar to the intro of the song [[Wikipedia:Barracuda (song)|Barracuda]], by [[Wikipedia:Heart(band)|Heart]].

Quote of the Week

Mechamind90 — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:59:03 GMT

Mechamind90: Preemptive notice instead

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

Every quote is a "mirror" file except for the most recent one, which is found directly on the main page of the Homestar Runner Main Menu.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The September 27, 2007 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Polychaete|polychaete worms]], a class of worms that are known for their bristles and marine environments.

===Trivia===
*In Bubs's quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.
*Until August 9, 2007, the Quote of the Week of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record.

===Remarks===
*Occasionally, some quotes are used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases was slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
**The Homestar Runner's quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
**The Sickly Sam quotes released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being released. The quote it was changed to was suggested in the edit summary of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707 the edit adding the Sickly Sam quote to this page].
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.

===Goofs===
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" in the [[Wikipedia:ID3|ID3]] tag. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*In the January 31, 2008 quote, "carrageenan" is misspelled "carageenan".
*In the March 13, 2008 quote, the "The" in The Cheat's name is not capitalized, and there is no comma after "blows". "Blowhole" is also misspelled as two words.
*The July 10, 2008 quote reads "taken out ''if''" instead of "of it".

===Inside References===
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad's quote about tai chi may be a nod to The Simpsons episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMЯ]", which had a similar tai chi/chai tea gag.
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron-hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*In the August 9, 2007 quote, Bubs spells [[Wikipedia:Nestle|Nestles]], a Swiss maker of candy and other food products. It's a reference to Nestle's [http://www.archive.org/download/RadioCommercialsShows/Commercials.19xx.xx.xx_N_E_S_T_L_E_S.mp3 long standing jingle], "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best", especially its Alpine White version from the '80s, "Sweet dreams you can't resist. N-E-S-T-L-E-S."
*The September 13, 2007 quote references [[Wikipedia:Frosty|Frosties]] and [[Wikipedia:McFlurry|McFlurries]], ice cream treats served at [[Wikipedia:Wendy's|Wendy's]] and [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], respectively.

=="Or" or "For"?==
I thought Homestar said "account number for identity theft" rather than "or identity theft". Anyone else hear that? I don't want to change it in case it's just me. [[User:ModestlyHotGirl|ModestlyHotGirl]] 15:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:I heard "or." When I first heard it, I assumed it was Homestar pulling together a few phrases that he had heard in relation to giving out personal information in order to form what he though was an intelligent sentence (but which to the rest of us is a complete non sequitur.) It makes less sense from a sentence-structure standpoint, but more sense considering that we are, after all, dealing with Homestar.
::I'd recommend putting a footnote after the word in the transcript saying that it could be either. I'd put it there myself, but I don't know how, and my search for help has been fruitless. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 22:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Here's my logica-thingy that proves it's "Or": If Homestar had been able to steal Strong Bad's personal identity by typing in his number, then it would easily be accesible whether he's on the phone with Strong Bad or not. It might be harder to find him if Bubs had a lot of customers, but according to him, Strong Bad is the only one. Also, Homestar has a tendency to piece together words that are similar to the ones he wants. --[[HRFWiki:User:The Mu|Da M-izz-u]][[HRFWiki:User talk:The Mu|Tizzalk]] 19:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::My money's on "or." I don't hear an "F" sound, plus it's just like Homestar to come up with a ridiculous non-sequitur sentence like that. {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::meh meh meh meh meh meh meh translation: I hear "or" [[Mr.Cheaterson]]
:I heard "for" as well. It could have been "or" for non-sensical humour as The Mu|Da M-izz-u suggests, but it could also be "'''for''' identity theft" for the humour in the fact that he's asking for his account number so he can use it to steal his identity. Just my two cents.

It sounds a bit like "whaffum", or perhaps "wawesome" (or "wassum"?). It certainly doesn't sound like "bottom" to me. --[[User:AshyRaccoon|AshyRaccoon]] 15:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

:As I put it in the first draft of the transcript, it's "boittom" or "bwahttom". Perhaps "Bwahthom."{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 16:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::meh meh meh meh translation: for cheats sake he's saying "bousem" in a strang way

== Hilarity Ensues ==

I have a problem with the "Strong Bad's laughter comes from A Jorb Well Done" reference. Two instances of him simply laughing shouldn't be cross-referenced, and I don't don't think the similarity between the two was very strong. After watching the two files, they don't even sound remotely the same. If anything, his laughter would be a reference to crappy sit-coms (a la Brady Bunch) in which the final joke was seemingly gut-busting to the people onscreen so the show could end with a freeze-frame of everyone looking happy.
:But they both are using Strong Bad's insane laughter to make a joke. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::Those two instances of laughter a) come from completely different things, and b) sound absolutely nothing alike, so how on earth can the reference be that the laughter comes FROM "A Jorb Well Done"? The reference makes no sense. You would have to start cross-referencing anything that was even remotely similar if you accept this as precedent. Every time Homestar falls down? Every time Pom Pom laughs?
:::If it's not an actual reference, then it doesn't belong on this page. If it's the exact sound clip then it should go on [[Sound Effects]], though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's laughter, seriously, it happens on a reqular basis, whats next, "Hey, he's walking, lets put that in the wiki!"

Can't it be both? I'm going to have to agree with Joshua here. Both the "A Jorb Well Done" laugh and the "isp" laugh both go on for longer than usual, both get high pitched and insane, and both have a zoom up on the face. Not like his normal "Bwa ha ha" routine. Also, I agree that this is a reference to the sitcom laugh, bo only to a certain extent. If there was a laugh at the end of the Brady Bunch, and then the camera focused in on Greg Brady's face and his laugh went on for 30 seconds getting more shrill and higher pitched by the second... well, you got to admit, something's not normal with this Brady Bunch episode. - El Santo, 13:39 PST, 16 May 2006

The sitcom reference is simply refering to that in both (for example) the B.B. and in this email, the characters are reacting to something only mildly amusing in an over-the-top way in the final moments of the show. Strong Bad's laughter in this episode is over-the-top to the nth degree to drive that point home: it's not at all funny, but it's the last joke, so it's HYSTERICAL! Now go back and watch "A Jorb Well Done." Strong Bad is not being over the top. He's not being hysterical. He's just laughing hard, and since back then he was a bad guy, he laughed hardest when it was at someone else's expense. There's nothing at all extreme about that back-in-the-day laugh. He just thought it was really funny. The olden-days laugh doesn't even build up to any hysterics. It starts out that way. The two references simply don't match. They have as much in common with each other as me writing with a pencil and me coloring with a crayon.

== Hampster <nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> Dance? ==

Didn't see a Fun Stuff link, so I'll post it here. I thought the "break-dancing rodent" might be a reference to the (annoying) Internet meme, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hampster_Dance The Hampster Dance]. Both include animated gifs of a dancing rodent. I'm not positive on this one, but it's the first thing that came to mind when the rodent started not-really-break-dancing on the Lappy. - [[User:Totoro|Totoro]] 18:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

:I don't think so. The first thing that came to my mind was the little animated mouse GIF on [[Strong Bad's Website]] {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

yea id totally say thats a hampster dance reference. back in that day, hampster dance was the only thing the internet was good for anyway. [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 23:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

:STUFF'd. Like I said, I'm not positive on this one, but it's worth a discussion. - [[User:Totoro|Totoro]] 19:57, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

== Not so Magical ==

That "this is where the magic happens" line in the real-world references HAD to come out. That phrase has been around for decades. It did not originate with Cribs.

== Wired Pom Pom? ==

Regarding the comment in Remarks about other characters have Internet access: I need some clarification for my own edification. Pom Pom can obviously check his email through his PDA, but do Palm users need to subscribe to an online service in order to do this, or is it just tacked onto the monthly bill as an add-on, as would happen with someone checking their email through their cell phone?

:It depends; normally a PDA accesses the internet by wirelessly connecting to an ISP, but some work as cell phones too. That being said, the Pom Pilot doesn't look like the phone type. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 21:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

== "CD-ROM Cupholder" is a real call! ==

Go to the very bottom of the page on this link:
http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_cdroms.shtml

You'll notice that the responce homestar gave about the "CD-Rom not being a cupholder" may be a real-world reference. (If for whatever reason you cannot acess the link, here is the text

'''Tech Support:''' "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" 
'''Customer:''' "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" 
'''Tech Support:''' "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" 
'''Customer:''' "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." 
'''Tech Support:''' "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" 
'''Customer:''' "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotion. It just has '4X' on it." 
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CDROM drive as a cup holder and snapped it off the drive.

Someone took out the "back of the Lappy" trivia before I could get to it (I can think of seeing it two places at least, in Animal and Part-Time Job), and I had to take out the "This is the first time we see Bub's laughing" one since he laughs with the rest at the end of Labor Day.

== Datum? ==

This might be kind of obscure, or even accidental, but I had a thought that when SB says "Datum sounds good", not only is it a play off of the word (and obviously "that"), but it may be a reference to to cheesy Westerns and the such of the 40s and 50s when the Indians in such films used a dialect in which they would put "um" on the end of english words. Like for example, "He-um heap good man. Mighty brave." And other such nonsense. Did anyone else grow up watching these movies? -- [[User:Paulsint|Paulsint]]
:I never would have thought of that if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that you did, the tone of voice in which he says that line seems a little too "old-West-style Indian" to be coincidence.

::It wasn't just old-style movies; people really did (and do) put an -um (or -im) suffix on the end of words. Only verbs, though. It's a transitivity marker (iirc) that shows up in certain pidgin and creole Englishes. (I believe you'll find it, for example, in [http://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tok_Pisin Tok Pisin]) I don't know, myself, if actual American Indians ever actually talked like this, but it's a common feature of pidgin Englishes, and thus something that writers of Westerns could have immediately seized upon when trying to write "native talk".

== Rodent hand gesture ==

There's a lengthy comment about the rodent's hand gesture being the metal horns, but I think that's wrong. For one, metal horns are always with the fingers pointing up, and the rodent points his hands down several times. It's way more likely that it's just supposed to be a hip-hop hand gesture, completely unrelated to the horns. I can't find a good cite, though, so I haven't changed it.

== GIF Sizes ==

From Remarks: ''The animated gif Strong Bad was downloading was a mere 10 seconds long. An animated GIF that long takes up less than 100 KB. Therefore, his download speed is about 0.0003 Kilobytes/second.''
In this case that estimate may very well be true, but the size of any GIF animation depends on frame count, frame size, and optimization. A ten-second GIF could easily be much larger than 100K if it contained many or large frames. This one does not appear to contain either until the end, when the smooth text implies a greater resolution than had the pixelated rodent. That can probably be ignored, though, since I don't think the Lappy 486's resolution can support text that smooth. It's like that Homestar Hair JPEG Strong Bad pulled up once. Any way, assuming the image is under 100K, there still needs to be some indication that its small size and slow frame rate make it so. -[[User:AndromedaRoach|AndromedaRoach]] 01:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The other port might be parallel or pcmcia, and the round port looks like a modern mini-DIN serial connector more than the larger 5 pin DIN connectors that were more common.

* We see an old-style telephone
* We hear the ringing bell of an old-style telephone (even though SB is calling ''out'' on his phone, and HR wears a headset that would ''not'' ring like that)
* SB picks up the telephone
* The camera does a blur-pan around the scene

== Is your Internet Perry running? ==

:''Even though Strong Bad's internet is running slowly, he is able to bring up the email very quickly.''
This keeps getting added to the article as a remark. I don't have a problem with it, but I think it deserves some scrutiny. Let's suppose that Strong Bad's connection is so low-tech that each [[Wikipedia:Symbol (data)|symbol]] can only carry 1 bit of data, meaning his 12 baud is 12 bits per second. Let's further suppose that the email was about 900 bytes (counting headers). With those numbers, it should have taken him 10 minutes to download the message. For dramatic purposes, this kind of realism would be impractical, and it would give away the joke too early. On a less tangible note: I don't believe certain parts of the Homestar Runner universe exist until Strong Bad (via TBC) types them. That is, before Strong Bad pulled the email onto his screen, there was no Datum Center, no Strong Mad literally stealing Strong Bad's bandwidth, no breakdancing rodent.

==STUFF Closed so soon?==
I think the STUFF item about the empty room and the Homestar CD thing closed a little too soon. Shall we reopen? There were only a total of 11 votes. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 02:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
:It was pretty short; but still: 10 to 1 in favor in a very short time, and the one opposer agreed to have it closed. It hardly seems worth the trouble to reopen it when it seems to me there isn't a snowball's chance in Hades it would be declined. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

== Conflict: Who's kitchen is this? ==

The following block was taken from hrwiki article about email #152 “isp”

“Remarks... it is unlikely that the computer has a wireless connection (even though he was able to answer e-mails from under '''Homestar's kitchen''' table in part-time job)”

The next block was taken from hrwiki article about email #121 “part-time job”

{Cut to the lower area of '''Marzipan's kitchen'''. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}

My thoughts:

Case #1: Homestar's Kitchen

It can be argued that it is not Marzipan's kitchen because there is no sink or cookie jar on the counter behind the table. All known shots of her kitchen have those items. The table is correct with the counters for the mystery kitchen in the Schenectady Crispies commercial seen in email #83 “labor day” (shown in easter egg). If it were Homestar's kitchen, it would explain a lot about why Strong Bad had to get out without being noticed in “part time job.” It would also explain why in the commercial he said “Hope I don't get caught”.

Case #2: Marzipan's Kitchen

It is plausible to say that this is Marzipan's kitchen viewed from the other side of the table, an angle that we never have seen before. If we assert that the mystery kitchens in “labor day” and “part-time job” are the same kitchen, this would indicate that marzipan has identical windows, cupboards, counters, and shelves on both sides of her kitchen (if not for the sink and cookie jar, the room would be symmetrical.) However, this makes us wonder where the microwave (seen in email #93 “army”) is normally kept, since it is not usually next to the cookie jar. Saying it is Marzipan's kitchen also explains why Strong Bad does not want to be caught in it.

Case #3: Strong Bad's Kitchen

We rarely see Strong Bad at Homestar's or Marzipan's house. I doubt that he has much motivation to go there. With it being so rare for Strong Bad to show up in their houses, it seems odd that we should catch him in their kitchens so much and never in his own kitchen. On the other hand, Homestar is at Strong Bad's so often he thinks he lives there (see “flashback”), and there are instances where Homestar cooks at Strong Bad's house (see “jibblies 2” and “secret identity”). In fact, there are several instances where Strong Bad himself cooks, indicating that he must use his own kitchen frequently (see “big white face”, “old comics”, “bug in mouth disease”, and “secret recipes”). If it is unlikely for Strong Bad to be in anyone else's kitchen, it would make sense for him to be in his own during these scenes.
:The closest TBC gave to an actual answer says it's Marzipan's kitchen (from the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] DVD commentary:
<blockquote>'''MATT:''' They've taken Trivia Time from off of Marzipan and/or Homestar's kitchen shelf. 

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we've really established whose kitchen that is. 

'''MATT:''' I think people assume it's Marzipan's. 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think it's Marzipan's.</blockquote>

:::::Unbalanced said reference. It was Bad Bad Guy who said sighting. (I too think it's coincidence, myself being a follower of CAD)-[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 17:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

== Math fact ==

It may be a coincidence, but 38 * 4 = 152. Email #38 is [[helium]], while email #152 is ''isp''. However, I don't know if the fact that email #4 is [[homestar hair]] would have anything to do with it (just an opinion).

{{mainnav|22|21|23}}
[[Image:main22.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The Virus strikes again!]]

This main page has been attacked by [[The Virus]] from the email [[virus]]. Weird glitches abound.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Old Man]], [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], {{Film|Biscuitdoughhandsman}}, [[Monte Negro]], {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Place:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' [[Edgar]]

'''Page title:''' "Drop a train on em!"

'''Date:''' December 5, 2004

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — The museum button falls down to the bottom of the screen and takes out "sb emails" and "contact" on the navbar. Placing the cursor over the button a second time returns these back to their normal locations.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — The right side of the table turns black and has a red wireframe grid on it, while the [[No Loafing sign]] turns into HTML code. Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the Old Man fishing. Placing the cursor over the button a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (see list below; each computer is accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen. Each time a popup appears, a clip of the [[Visor Robot]] saying "[[fhqwhgads]]" is heard. [[Biscuitdoughhandsman]] appears in the popups reading "Make millions doing nothing!!" and [[Monte Negro]] appears in the popup reading "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". Cory from the [[That A Ghost]] toon also appears, along with the sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered." Eventually the startup screen for [[Edgar|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by The Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed intermittently over Edgar's face and says, "...some of my buses!"
*'''[[Store]]''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. As soon as his head stops moving it instantly faces to the right instead of to the left. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''[[Email]]''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian One|Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.
**The misshapen Strong Bad has a [[Strong Bad Evolution|bigger gap between his slightly rotated legs]].
**The egg-shape of Strong Bad's head is upside down, his mouth and eyes are further apart and he speaks in his older voice.
**His head and right arm are over-sized.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same Flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the navbar links that it crushes ("sb email" and "contact").
*The sound made when one of the popups opens when you mouse-over Downloads is the same noise Strong Bad made when a "Message Thyme" window opened up in [[marzipan]].
*Until [[Main Page 23]] was released, this page and [[Main Page 21]] were inaccessible using the "main" link on the navbar.
*The labels on the disks in the floppy disk container read "[[Floppy Disk Container#oregon trail|oregon trail]]" and "[[Floppy Disk Container#oregon trail 2|oregon trail 2]]".
*While [[TrogdorCon '97]] was the new short, scrolling over "new short!" would make half of the Cheat's horn (from that short) appear. Clicking on the horn would start the short.

===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Retro Gaming Character Variations#Bad Graphics Homestar Runner|Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different [[font]] and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font (Bauhaus Thin).
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked. 
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page (Comix Heavy). The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons (Potrezebie). Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [[HR:main6x.swf|Old Main Page 6]], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds. 
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".
*When the [[random toon]] ("rando") and [[Podstar Runner]] ("podcast") links were added to the [[HR:main nav.swf|navbar]], The Brothers Chaps forgot or chose not to update this page, as the navbar had to be embedded into the SWF movie in order to make it technically possible for the H*R logo to fall on the "sbemail" and "contact" links.
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, Fan Stuff, and Random Toon boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are. This also affects toons that pop up, like [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.
*When the [[H*R.com updates 2007#Monday, July 2, 2007|takin' a baby break]] [[main page message]] was posted, the pop-up would appear behind Homestar's head.
**This also happened with the [[Trogdor]] and [[The Poopsmith]] [[Wallpaper]] pop-ups.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's mouth disappears when he says "nuts". This might have been because of the exploding duck positioned over his mouth.

===Glitches===
*There is a sound glitch in the Characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button 16 or more times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.
*If you highlight Downloads link, to start the animation for it, and quickly highlight Characters, Homestar's mouth opens but doesn't close, even after removing the cursor from the Characters link. This is fixed when you highlight another link.
*When the Edgar Virus Ware comes up on the screen, move your mouse to where the store link is and you will see Homestar's head appear.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*There are many references to the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]:
**"Drop a train on 'em!" is what Strong Bad said when he ran [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] in virus.
**Part of the desk becoming a red vector grid is from virus.
**In [[virus]], Homestar Runner also had [[The Homestar Runner]]'s torso.
**The sound Homestar makes when you scroll over the Characters button is taken from the noises Marzipan made in virus.
**Pop-ups also appeared at the same parts of the screen in virus.
**Homestar Runner's head also came off in virus.
**Strong Bad's body becoming unporportional and getting Marzipan's hair style is also from virus.
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
*Powered by The Cheat Bubs and his line are from the Strong Bad Email [[mile]].
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].
*After the Duck Guardian duck explodes, it leaves behind an html script, which was also present in [[Main Page 18]].

Talk:Kick The Cheat (game)

Mechamind90 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:17:10 GMT

Mechamind90: /* Secret Pages */

How do you get The Cheat to fly through the air without scoring anything?
:Click anywhere on the screen and select the button using tab, then press enter.
::You can also do it if you tap the mouse very lightly, if you time it correctly.

Is there a list anywhere in what toons Strong Bad actually kicks The Cheat? For some reason, I can't think of many when he actually kicks The Cheat.
:[[little animal]], for one.
:He threatens to kick The Cheat a couple times at the end of [[caper]].
:He tells Homestar to give The Cheat (hiding under the box)a "swift kick in The Cheat" in [[replacement]]
::He also mentions "Kickin' Cheats 'till the day I die" in [[replacement]]

(see discussion at [[Talk:lady...ing]])

== Strong Bad's pants ==

Could this be more proof that Strong Bad's pants are actually blue/purple and not black with purple shadows? - [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== Over the wall ==

Is it possible to kick The Cheat over the wall?
:no.

== Incorrectly regarded as a goof? ==

Maybe the Cheat starts yelling as he sees the foot coming?

I don't think that's necessarily a goof.

I mean, I'd probably start yelling.

:yes, there's no doudt about that.

Is it just my imagination, or does the animation in this game seem smoother than normal? Could someone with a flash decompiler check the frame rate? - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 14:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Main Page Glitches

Mechamind90 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:36:34 GMT

Mechamind90: Interruptions

[[Image:Main Pages Glitch.PNG|thumb|Main Page Glitch]]

Occasionally, the [[Main Pages]] can produce some odd '''glitches''' by clicking and holding down a button, and then dragging off them. This is due to the limits of the [[Flash]] software. Specifically, any image or animation that only appears while the cursor stays over a button remains if you click the left mouse button and hold it down, then drag the cursor away from the Main Page button, and let go.

This is a list of oddities and inconsistencies in the Main Pages caused by this glitch. In the list below, "&" is used if it doesn't matter which is done first and "→" if they must be done in order.

Please be aware that [[Main Page 19]] and [[Main Page 25]] are glitch-free because the videos will be interrupted if you hover over another button while one is playing.

Mechamind90 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:19:42 GMT

Mechamind90: /* Goofs */

{{mainnav|23|22|24}}
[[Image:main page 23.PNG|220px|thumb|"Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!"]]

Behind the set of a main page. Nearly everything is flipped around, since we're seeing it from the back, and ink marks where all the buttons are.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, [[Homestar Runner]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Place:''' [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Plank of wood

'''Page title:''' "Backstage Pass!"

'''Date:''' September 19, 2005

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Coach Z pops up with a [[clapperboard]] and says, "Main Page number twenty-tree, take one, airkshun!" Homestar delays saying "Toons" until after he's gone.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — A piece of wood wiggles loose and falls off of the set, striking Homestar on the head. Homestar replies with "Oof!" It reappears where it was after a few seconds.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — On the first mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!" while facing away from the user. On the second mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the back of my head!" while facing toward the user. Subsequent mouse-overs alternate between the two.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — The Cheat falls in front of Homestar, facing him and the user, makes a few The Cheat noises and walks off.
*'''[[Store]]''' — Another Homestar walks in front of Homestar and says (in his modern voice) "'Sup, man?" Homestar replies (in the older voice that's still used for the main pages) "'Sup?" 
*'''[[Email]]''' — A piece of wood, presumably painted with Strong Sad's head on the opposite side, is pulled across the screen by two strings with the words "[[Wear a Bikini!]]" written on the back of it. From off screen Strong Sad holds up [[Strong Sad's Tape Player|his tape player]] into view and presses "Play," causing it to say (in Strong Sad's voice) "I'm the floating head of dooooom!"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
* This is the second main page (after [[Main Page 12]]) where we see Homestar from behind.
* This is the second time the words are delayed, after [[Main Page 19]].

===Remarks===
*Coach Z says "action" while still holding up the clapperboard; he's still in the shot when Homestar delivers his line. Additionally, the director (or assistant director) who says "action" hardly ever slates the clapperboard.
*The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.
*The reversed joke was only taken so far. As such, the Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].
**Likewise, the numerical order of the home pages is not reversed, just right-justified.
*This is the only Main Page to refer to them as the compound word "homepages" instead of "home pages."
*This is another instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*Strong Bad's head bobs when the viewer cannot see his mouth, as is the case in most Strong Bad emails. Here, it bobs when he thinks the viewer can see his mouth (for the "front of my head" line) and doesn't when he thinks the viewer can't.

===Goofs===
* Although the part of the characters button where the "s" would be is partly sticking out, the characters buttons on other main pages don't stick out at all.
* The portions of the first three buttons that are sticking out of the wood are not clickable.
* The piece of wood that falls on Homestar's head falls from the back of the set, but Homestar is standing in front of it.
* The link to [[Main Page 25]] is missing.

===Fixed Goofs===
*The copyright date read "2000-2005" well into 2007. It was updated on or around the time [[Main Page 24]] was added.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Real baby lady glitch.PNG|thumb|250px|Not great for baby.]]
* If you hold down the tab button on this menu, several hidden items become highlighted. You cannot click on them with your mouse, but you can select them by pressing enter.
** To the left of the visible recent updates button is another recent updated button.
*** There is yet another recent updates button where the recent updates button normally is.
** There is another [[First Time Here?]] button on the left side located where the First Time Here? button normally is ''relative to'' the recent updates button.
*** There is yet another First Time Here? button off the right edge of where it normally is.
** The leftmost side of the Flash File has another set of Weeklies (Random, Quote, Sketchbook, Fan) buttons.
* If you scroll over "store" and then "downloads" right when the second Homestar gets to the middle, The Cheat falls behind Homestar even though perspective makes it look like Homestar is farther away.
====Expired Glitches====
* From March 16, 2006 and onwards, you were able to download [[disconnected|"Support the Municipality"]] desktop wallpaper via the Latest Updates bubble on the Main Pages. On this particular Main Page however, although you could have still clicked on the link, it wouldn't let you download the wallpaper.
**Similarly, the [[Main Page Message]] announcing the launch of [[Viidelectrix]] on January 28, 2007 was clickable, but did not pop up the message that should have been displayed.
**From July 2, 2007 to August 6th, 2007, the [[H*R.com updates 2007#Monday, July 2, 2007|baby lady message]] would be just a small black triangle in the top-left corner.
**This glitch was also present for the [[Wallpaper#Other Wallpaper|Trogdor desktop wallpaper]] update on January 14, 2008, the button for which being labeled "guest wallpaper".

Mechamind90: /* Goofs */

{{mainnav|24|23|25}}
[[Image:Main24.PNG|220px|thumb|"Has anybody seen my pants?"]]

Everything is viewed through blurred vision.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Place:''' [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Glasses

'''Page title:''' 20/200!

'''Date:''' Tuesday, July 24, 2007

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Homestar holds up a vision testing chart.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — Pulsating red dots appear onscreen. Homestar says, "Hey, are you okay? How many fingers am I holding up?"
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Homestar's shirt changes — first to a [[Peacey P]] shirt, then to a blue [[Wikipedia:Fila (company)|Fila]] shirt, then to his [[duckie shirt]], then back to his original star shirt.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — Strong Bad walks through the Field in his [[underwear]] shouting, "My pants! Come here, my pants! Has anybody seen my pants?"
*'''[[Store]]''' — Glasses are placed on the viewer, allowing for better vision. Homestar's shirts are still blurred.
*'''[[Email]]''' — Strong Sad appears, holding up Strong Bad's pants and saying, "Well, lookie what I found!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* The page title, "20/200", is the [[Wikipedia: Visual acuity|visual acuity]] measurement used as the threshold for legal blindness.
* The [[Wikipedia: Eye chart|eye chart]] held up by Homestar is known as a "Tumbling E" chart.
* When the glasses are put on, Homestar's shirt logos are still blurred because logos, trademarked designs, and certain words on clothing are often obscured by the producers of visual media (usually television or music videos) when they don't want the logos, designs, or words visible in the final product.

===Trivia===
[[Image:VisionChart.png|thumb|20/200!]]
*The vision chart Homestar holds up reads:
<blockquote>
{| style="text-align:center"
|
E W M 
Ǝ M E W E 
W M E Ǝ W E W 
ƎMWEMƎEMEWƎWEM
|}
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*By using the Store button after selecting a button which triggers an animation (or by using the [[main page glitch]]), you can watch the scene unblurred.
*The main page has been redesigned slightly:
**The buttons have a new, shinier look.
**There is a little more space in the center.
**The colors on the striped sides are darker and their gradient is more prominent.
**The shadows are larger and more realistic.
*The sky's design is the one used in [[the chair]] and [[Drive-Thru]].
*This main page lacks a [[Irregular Loading Screen|loading screen]].
*The weeklies' pop-up windows are not blurred.
*Strong Bad is seen wearing [[underwear]], but in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear them. However, he does wear underwear in [[senior prom]], [[stand-up]], and [[nightlife]].
*This main page was not in the Main Page randomizer for some time after its release.

===Goofs===
[[Image:SB undawears.PNG|thumb|100px|Legs?]]
*The Weeklies buttons' text, when rolled over, are not in the correct spot.
*The logos on Homestar's shirt extend outside the shirt.
*On Main Pages [[Main Page 15|15]], [[Main Page 22|22]], and 24, at the main page quick links button (in the bottom left corner), the main page 24 button overlaps the white stripe.
*As the glasses are being put on and taken off, the scene is unblurred even outside the lenses.
*Strong Bad's legs don't go through the holes in his underwear, but instead seem to go behind his torso.
*During certain weeks, the [[Main Page Messages]] are not blurred.
*The week that [[yes, wrestling]] came out, its button did not appear on this main page.


===Fixed Goofs===
*Although the copyright date for the other main pages was updated on April 11, 2008, this main page had a copyright date of "2007".
**This was fixed when [[Main Page 25]] was added.

===Glitches===
*The [[HR:newbutton.swf|newbutton.swf]] file slightly overlaps the frames of the glasses.
[[Image:Mainpage24 glitch.png|thumb|200px|Weird Main Page 24 Glitch]]
*Main Page 24 is the only main page that currently does not function correctly on the [[Wikipedia: Nintendo Wii|Nintendo Wii]] and [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]]'s web browsers. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing, and the links are not clickable. The links also do not produce the roll-over effects. The Main Page selection in the bottom left-hand corner is missing entirely and all of the buttons on the top right-hand corner are missing. Homestar also lacks the star on his shirt, and the blur effects are not visible (but the page is slightly faded). Strong Bad shows up legless.
**This is due to the Wii and PS3's web browsers only supporting Flash Player 7 and lower content, while Flash 8 or higher is required for the blurring effects.

**Other times, the whole page will turn slightly darker, Homestar will not talk or move, and neither Strong Bad nor Strong Sad will appear.
**If any of the buttons on the left side are clicked while in this state, you will be redirected to an "Adobe Flash version upgrade" page.

===Inside References===
*Homestar refers to his [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible fingers]].
*This is another appearance of Homestar's [[duckie shirt]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad losing his pants]].
*Blurry T-shirt logos and [[Peacey P]] were previously featured in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Fila (company)|Fila]] is an Italian sportswear manufacturing company.

hey um. the shark doesnt have periods (.) after it in the list of messages, ie:
*shark:
**Fight: It was a shark It bites your fists off. Too bad. ''*-1 point*''
**Talk: It was a shark Quint calls out to you from the depths of the shark's belly with some keen fishing tips. ''*+2 points*''
**Jump: It was a shark You jump the shark. Just like Homestarrunner.com. ''*0 points*''

should it look like this: 

*shark:
**Fight: It was a shark. It bites your fists off. Too bad. ''*-1 point*''
**Talk: It was a shark. Quint calls out to you from the depths of the shark's belly with some keen fishing tips. ''*+2 points*''

==changing file?==

Can someone help me? I read on the article that it's possible to change the answers through the xmf file or something but I'm not sure how that works... Thanks! -Cyndi
:That's easy! Feel free to follow along with my simple step-by-step instructions. I make XML-editing FUN!!
:# First, save the SWF (the Flash file) and the XML file to your hard drive. Save them both in the same folder for easy access.
:# Right-click on the XML file, and choose "Open with..."
:# Select the text-editor of your choice. Notepad works best, due to its simple format.
:# Now you have your XML file open for editing. Everything between the tags labelled "<code><hallrunner></code>" will be included in the game. Each object is offset by "<code><q></code>". The object name is identified with the "<code><obj></code>" tag, and the replies are identified by the "<code><a></code>" tag, which also includes the point value.
:# Pick an object. It can be anything you want. For example, let's say... [[The Cheat]].
:# Alter the existing code to whatever you like. It's easiest to just look at the existing code and changing what you need. The top item in the "<code><a></code>" list is the response for choosing "FIGHT IT", the second is for "TALK TO IT", and the third for "JUMP IT". You can assign different replies, objects, and even change the point values. Soon you'll have a totally customised Hallrunner game of your very own. Have fun!
:# Make sure to '''SAVE''' your XML file when you're done editing it. Do not rename the file, or the game will not recognise it.
:Hope that helps. =3 Enjoy yourself, everyone who actually reads this. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool! I edited the XML file but I'm having trouble opening the SWF file... Do I need to download something for that? -Cyndi
:::Usually you can open it in your favorite browser (IE, Firefox), unless you have IE 7, which I'm pretty sure has a bug that doesn't let you read swf files. If you do have IE 7, then just save the html file onto the same place and open that. This looks really cool...I should try it. :D - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 18:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

== Odell Woods? ==

The options to "Fight it," "Jump over it," and "Talk to it" are a lot like the similar options you get in the old Apple II game Odell Woods, where whenever you "come up on" an obstacle (which is more greatly described in the game,) you have the option to "Run from it," "Ignore it," "Eat it," and "Chase it." Is this notable, or should it be forever relegated to the dustbin of HRWiki History? --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 11:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:There were a number of games in that time period that used these types of commands and options. I can't think of the names of any off the top of my head, so I can't say don't add it, but if you do it may end up being considered TTATO. - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 13:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

== Just Random ==

If you played the game with a perfect score, at (+2 points per round), 3 rounds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year (366 on leap years {Although according to Wikipedia, [[Wikipedia:Leap year|every 100th year that does not multiply with 400 is not a leap year]]}) for 120 years, it would be possible to get to 378,683,424 points. Of course, the average life expectancy needs to be more than 120 years of age, even for the biggest computer addict. {{unsigned|154.5.181.164|15:25, 14 October 2007}}
*I guess. Also, to get 100,000,000 points with that sequence, it would take about 31.7 years.

== Date? ==

While working on [[Horses]], I noticed that both [[Peasant's Quest]] and [[Hallrunner]] have a date of August 2, 2004, but while Peasant's Quest correctly says it was a Monday, Hallrunner claims it was a Tuesday. Do we know the correct date for Hallrunner? Something must be wrong, even if just the weekday. The page was created without any real information on the 14th September 2004. Then this [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Hallrunner&diff=prev&oldid=1998 diff] on the 15th describes the gameplay but does not link to it. This [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Hallrunner&diff=prev&oldid=2065 diff] (16th September 2004) is the first to show the responses and link to the game. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 17:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

== Commas between group separators? ==

Just out of curio'''u'''sity, is there a comma separator between 1000 points and/or 1000 obstacles? It's not too important, I just want to know.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*If you played continuously, at three rounds per minute with correct answers against every obstacle, it would take "only" about 31.7 years to score 100,000,000 points.
**If you choose "Fight" for each object once in each complete sequence, it would take you about 1,901 years. "Talk" would take you about 127 years, and "Jump" would take you about 136 years.
**If you scored on average 1 point per 3 obstacles, it would take you about 190 years.
===Remarks===
*After about every 7 obstacles (sometimes sooner, sometimes later), you get a message on the screen:
** '''Obstacle #7:''' It gets awesome after 100,000,000 points, we swear.
** '''Obstacle #14:''' Hallrunner will return in 'Hallrunner 2: Farther Along'
** '''Obstacle #21:''' Watch out for objects!
** '''Obstacle #28:''' Seriously, watch out for objects!
** '''Obstacle #35:''' Shouldn't you be making a flow chart or something productive?
** '''Obstacle #42:''' Your devotion to this game is impressive.
** '''Obstacle #49:''' So, anyway. How is it going?
** '''Obstacle #56:''' Are you enjoying the game?
** '''Obstacle #63:''' What are you doing after this? Want to get some poutine?
** '''Obstacle #70:''' Okay, pal. Seriously. Time to call it quits.
** '''Obstacle #77:''' We were just kidding about it getting awesome. Go home.
** '''Obstacle #84:''' That's it. I'm calling mother and arranging an intervention.
** '''Obstacle #91:''' You won't listen will you? Don't make me turn this car around!
** '''Obstacle #99:''' Okay that's it. I'm restarting this list of messages. That'll learn ya.
*On some computers, the game will remember your score and the number of obstacles you've faced even after clearing your browser's cache and deleting your cookies.
**On some computers, if you right click the game, choose "Settings," choose the folder tab, and drag the slider all the way to the left, you can delete all the information videlectrix.com has stored on your computer. Closing the window and restarting the game will give a prompt on whether to let it store info; denying will just make it ask again in next time your score changes.
*If you choose "Fight" for each object once, you'd have 1 point. "Talk" would get you 15 points, and "Jump" would get you 14 points.
*Allowing an object to hit your runner results in a loss of ten points.
*The questions and answers for the game are contained in an XML file. It is possible to create your own questions and answers for the game by downloading the SWF and XML file and editing the XML with a text editor (like Notepad).
*If your computer is slow, you can see the "loading" screen really says: "[[Irregular Loading Screens|Loadaling]]".

Mechamind90: /* Umm... WHY? */

How do you get big head mode? Also, many games have big head modes. It's not really a reference to one game, but to freaking tons of games. --[[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]]

I believe that NBA Jam was the first game to use this code that became standard. But the question of how to get it remains - I don't think we ought to have a fun fact about a mode without an explanation of how to get to it. - [[User: Tim333|Tim333]]

== 49.99 km? ==
Can someone validate this statement by providing the combinations: "There are five different special combinations that can be put together on the 'Choose it out' screen, each of which gives you a special name rather than 'Steak Styles'. One of which allows you to start the race at 49.99 km." ? [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 13:16, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should write all the details out or leave them to be found. I cheated by decompiling it so I guess I felt bad posting the details.

We need somebody to do confirmation before I remove it, since it's taking me way too long to puzzle out every single possible combination there could be. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:34, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

==.5k Glitch==

I know you're supposed to walk off into blackness at 1K. But, when attempting to see this, there was a minor graphical glitch right after I crossed .5k (the message in the background was "These boots were mad|" [e for it], which then stopped abruptly as the crowd turned to white for a few pixels.) Is this normal? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 12:18, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

Yes. I found similar glitches at 1.38 K, 2.53 K, 3.40 K, 4.53 K... you get the idea. It's nothing, just a minor glitch. --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]]

== parody of Olympic Games (PS2)? ==

I disagree with that this is a parody of any PS2 game. The reference seems to be far older.

I believe this is meant to refer to [http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/decathlon/decathlon.htm The Activision Decathlon], where all of the running was done by moving the joystick left-right-left-right. The 1500 meter run was incredibly taxing; the 50k racewalker seems to be an extension of the concept. -- [[User:sensei256|sensei256]]

:I'm not entirely sure which game this is parodying, but it's definitely far, far older than any PS2 game. I've removed the fact.

:P.S. Please sign your posts. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 11:21, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)

I nominate that we use the image uploaded by [[User:Slowbie]] for the image on this page. I don't like the "FAULT!". Anyone else agree? [[User:Texas|Texas]] 03:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I second that. I think we could use some more humor over here at the Wiki, which is why I uploaded it in the first place. The "FAULT" picture is so...boring. [[User:Slowbie|Slowbie]]
::Slowbie, this is a knowledge base. While we can have fun here, we try to keep things in order. Because it has become abundantly obvious that the picture you created is not currently wanted on [[50K_Racewalker]], may I suggest that we leave it alone? You are free, however, to post the picture in on your [[User:Slobie|userpage]] or anywhere else in your userspace. The [[HRFWiki:Main_page|Fanstuff Wiki]] has a lot of humor, if that's what you're looking for. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Also, the creation of [[Wikipedia:Internet sock puppet|alternate accounts]] is generally frowned upon by the wiki as a whole. The timing and opinion of [[User:Texas|Texas]] is a little suspicious. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I did not create an alternate account. [[User:Texas|Texas]] is a friend of mine who was afraid that agreeing me would cause all you nazis to prevent him from attaining a position within the wiki that he is hoping to get soon. I still don't get how you people can all be so freaking stiff but like such a funny website. --[[User:Slowbie|Slowbie]]
:::::If that's the case, then I apologise. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::::And perhaps an apology is due in return. As for the wiki being funny... H*R has a purpose, and HRWiki has a purpose. It's H*R's job to be funny, and the wiki's job to be there when someone (especially some casual H*R fan not involved with the wiki) needs to know what he said just there, or who Gordon Lightfoot is. If the Encyclopedia Britannica were run with a "whetevah" attitude, it wouldn't be helpful. 
:::::That said, I can't really argue this issue since I've never seen your pic. I think the suggestion that you put it on your user page is a great one! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:16, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::But if you do, please give it a ''different'' filename. Don't save over the old one. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Can we at least change the caption to say just plain "OOPS!!!" or something? It's rather misleading as is, especially since a fault in real racewalking does cause a disqualification. --[[User:Slowbie|Slowbie]]
::::::::I agree, that is kind of confusing. Let me just do some fact-checking on what the game says in its intro... <nowiki>[later]</nowiki> I'm confused: Do you have to ''never'' fault to beat the game? If not, the whole "You lose" phrase should be taken out of the article as well. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::That is from the description on [[Videlectrix:videlectrix catalog.html|this page]]. The caption is fine. It's funny. So is the image. If you play the game at all, you'll do a lot of faulting. Just ask [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:42, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::I suspected it was coming from something official. It might be nice to show that in some way; maybe for all the Videlectrix games to have a section headed "description in Videlectrix catalog." I ain't volunteering to do it, though! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:45, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::::If it needs to be done, I'll do it. Tomorrow. Right now, I go to bed. See you in twelve hours. If you want it done, leave a note on my talk page. I've been looking for a new way to occupy my time. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::::::::''[Edit conflict]'' The link above (the Videlectrix description) is on the [[Videlectrix]] page.

==Cleanup==

Fun Facts needs splittage. Glitches would then be incorperated into Fun Facts, and the '.5' glitch meantioned above would be added. There is also an [[:Image:50kglitch.PNG|Image]] of the glitch that could be incorperated. I'll try to get a few pictures of the 1K happenings, I think that would be much appreciated by those who don't want to press 'left right left right' for nearly an hour. Also general organization could probably be improved upon. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:30, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

== Umm... WHY? ==

Wow. I'm amazed. Videletrix has outdone it's self, because, I can't believe they actually stayed on task, and focused on making such a game that would take you five hours! Pretty funny when you think of it! Though, I kinda wish they made an easier game... or uhhh.... harder game... well a game that doesen't require players to be careful when they type. I even showed it to my father, and he thought it was pretty funny. I told him not to play it unless he's really bored, and is desperate for anything to do. :D Of course, he only played a bit of it, then closed it. He was pretty good when I told him about pressing one arrow at a time, but he had quite a few faults, just like everyone else and me, probably. Well, I certainly hope there's no sequal. :D Also, one more thing. To whoever actually played the boring game and made it without freaking just for the sake of providing HRWiki with info, oh thank you thank you thank you. :D

:Um... You might want to save that opinion for the [[Snowglobe|Trogdor Decemberween Snowglobe]].

== Take a break? ==

Is "saving" possible? Like, if you leave the screen, is it imperative to start all over? [[User:75.21.95.107|75.21.95.107]] 00:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
:Nope, no saves. If you close the window, it's all over. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Pitfall ==

Is it worth mentioning in the article that the box art is a nod to the box art of Pitfall! (viewable [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/af/Pitfallbox.jpg here])?
:The only similarity is the color trails. I'm not sure that's enough to warrant a reference. But then again, they heavily referenced pitfall in the yello dello. my vote: not sure. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

== Impossible to create characters ==

I found something out. The characters that get first and second place each time are impossible to replicate, because the have skin and clothing colors that are not in the character select. Isn't that interesting?

== Wait too long and get a FAULT? ==

How long? I've waited a maximum of three minutes so far, and nothing. When I press the correct key, it will still function as if I waited less than a second.

Mechamind90: /**/Wait too long and get a FAULT?

How do you get big head mode? Also, many games have big head modes. It's not really a reference to one game, but to freaking tons of games. --[[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]]

I believe that NBA Jam was the first game to use this code that became standard. But the question of how to get it remains - I don't think we ought to have a fun fact about a mode without an explanation of how to get to it. - [[User: Tim333|Tim333]]

== 49.99 km? ==
Can someone validate this statement by providing the combinations: "There are five different special combinations that can be put together on the 'Choose it out' screen, each of which gives you a special name rather than 'Steak Styles'. One of which allows you to start the race at 49.99 km." ? [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 13:16, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should write all the details out or leave them to be found. I cheated by decompiling it so I guess I felt bad posting the details.

We need somebody to do confirmation before I remove it, since it's taking me way too long to puzzle out every single possible combination there could be. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:34, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

==.5k Glitch==

I know you're supposed to walk off into blackness at 1K. But, when attempting to see this, there was a minor graphical glitch right after I crossed .5k (the message in the background was "These boots were mad|" [e for it], which then stopped abruptly as the crowd turned to white for a few pixels.) Is this normal? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 12:18, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

Yes. I found similar glitches at 1.38 K, 2.53 K, 3.40 K, 4.53 K... you get the idea. It's nothing, just a minor glitch. --[[User:Tim333|Tim333]]

== parody of Olympic Games (PS2)? ==

I disagree with that this is a parody of any PS2 game. The reference seems to be far older.

I believe this is meant to refer to [http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/decathlon/decathlon.htm The Activision Decathlon], where all of the running was done by moving the joystick left-right-left-right. The 1500 meter run was incredibly taxing; the 50k racewalker seems to be an extension of the concept. -- [[User:sensei256|sensei256]]

:I'm not entirely sure which game this is parodying, but it's definitely far, far older than any PS2 game. I've removed the fact.

== hard man ==

Is this game impossible to win? -Kinsey

:Yes. You can get to the end, but you always place third. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:01, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::It's not hard to win, it's just mind numbingly tedious. That was the point of it.

== New Racewalker Image ==

I nominate that we use the image uploaded by [[User:Slowbie]] for the image on this page. I don't like the "FAULT!". Anyone else agree? [[User:Texas|Texas]] 03:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I second that. I think we could use some more humor over here at the Wiki, which is why I uploaded it in the first place. The "FAULT" picture is so...boring. [[User:Slowbie|Slowbie]]
::Slowbie, this is a knowledge base. While we can have fun here, we try to keep things in order. Because it has become abundantly obvious that the picture you created is not currently wanted on [[50K_Racewalker]], may I suggest that we leave it alone? You are free, however, to post the picture in on your [[User:Slobie|userpage]] or anywhere else in your userspace. The [[HRFWiki:Main_page|Fanstuff Wiki]] has a lot of humor, if that's what you're looking for. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Also, the creation of [[Wikipedia:Internet sock puppet|alternate accounts]] is generally frowned upon by the wiki as a whole. The timing and opinion of [[User:Texas|Texas]] is a little suspicious. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I did not create an alternate account. [[User:Texas|Texas]] is a friend of mine who was afraid that agreeing me would cause all you nazis to prevent him from attaining a position within the wiki that he is hoping to get soon. I still don't get how you people can all be so freaking stiff but like such a funny website. --[[User:Slowbie|Slowbie]]
:::::If that's the case, then I apologise. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::::And perhaps an apology is due in return. As for the wiki being funny... H*R has a purpose, and HRWiki has a purpose. It's H*R's job to be funny, and the wiki's job to be there when someone (especially some casual H*R fan not involved with the wiki) needs to know what he said just there, or who Gordon Lightfoot is. If the Encyclopedia Britannica were run with a "whetevah" attitude, it wouldn't be helpful. 
:::::That said, I can't really argue this issue since I've never seen your pic. I think the suggestion that you put it on your user page is a great one! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:16, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::But if you do, please give it a ''different'' filename. Don't save over the old one. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::Can we at least change the caption to say just plain "OOPS!!!" or something? It's rather misleading as is, especially since a fault in real racewalking does cause a disqualification. --[[User:Slowbie|Slowbie]]
::::::::I agree, that is kind of confusing. Let me just do some fact-checking on what the game says in its intro... <nowiki>[later]</nowiki> I'm confused: Do you have to ''never'' fault to beat the game? If not, the whole "You lose" phrase should be taken out of the article as well. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::That is from the description on [[Videlectrix:videlectrix catalog.html|this page]]. The caption is fine. It's funny. So is the image. If you play the game at all, you'll do a lot of faulting. Just ask [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:42, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::I suspected it was coming from something official. It might be nice to show that in some way; maybe for all the Videlectrix games to have a section headed "description in Videlectrix catalog." I ain't volunteering to do it, though! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:45, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::::If it needs to be done, I'll do it. Tomorrow. Right now, I go to bed. See you in twelve hours. If you want it done, leave a note on my talk page. I've been looking for a new way to occupy my time. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
