''{Close-up of the lower half of Strong Bad's face. He holds his hand over his mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Shhh! Shut up, you guys! I'm checkin' email from work today, and I can't let The Man know what I'm doing!

''{Cut to Strong Bad typing on a computer with a grey monitor,

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, tiptoe your fingers 'cross the keyboard for the quietest email you can check.

''{Buzz noise. An error message with a picture of a hand blocking a basketball appears with the text "BLOCKED! Back to work, drone!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man. They got everything blocked now. Even those awesome pop-up insurance with the cool mini-games in 'em. I tasered that gnome like ten times! ''{stops typing}'' Good thing The Cheat hooked me up with this Cheatware!

''{Strong Bad holds up a yellow 3.5" diskette with black spots; the label reads "Cheatware ver. 2.1" and has an ASCII drawing of The Cheat. He puts it in the computer. The text "Grandma Edgar's Corporate Firewall Get-Arounder" appears on the screen with a picture of an old woman and a brick wall. The screen changes to an animation of the old woman pole vaulting over the wall into an envelope.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, pixo-Granny! Undermine those corporate oppressors on witcha bad self! ''{brings up email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">

Dear Strong Bad, 
If you could have any job in the whole

would you have? 
From The Nitwon

''{Strong Bad reads "The Nitwon" as "The Nittle One"}}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You ask like I haven't told you guys a million times... ''{drumroll sounds; Strong Bad clears screen}'' I'd be a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space Whale Scrubber! ''{"tada" sound effect; the words "Space Whale Scrubber" flash in many colors}'' Cause  those are the ones that get to wear that glittery pantsuit and use a lazormop to scrub all the nudules and crudules off the whale's dorsal ridge!

Laundry Room of the Brothers Strong

Mohan37 — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:35:47 GMT

Mohan37:

[[Image:LaundryRoom.PNG|thumb|Is The Cheat in there?]]

The '''Laundry Room''' is presumably where [[The Brothers Strong]] do their laundry. It has a dryer and the [[No Loafing Sign]] in it. [[Strong Bad]] once locked [[The Cheat]] in the dryer, although he really meant to lock [[Strong Sad]] in. [[Strong Mad]] later confronted Strong Bad about keeping [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] here. The laundry room served as the set for the preview of Strong Bad's movie "Things That Go Dump In The Night", in which an unsuspecting Strong Sad looks in the dryer and is hit by a dead goose. In [[lady fan]], The Cheat once again appeared in the dryer, though it had been replaced by a newer model.

In the email [[redesign]], Strong Bad updates the decor of the laundry room by adding a decorative border along the upper wall, and hot-gluing seashells to the dryer knobs, all for under 50 bucks.

Mohan37: /* Coach Z is not my love */

==newb alert==
* Sorry guys, I'm still new at this. I hate to leave my entries for others to clean up; I promise to learn more soon :) [[User:Mohan37|Mohan37]] 07:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
**Don't sweat it. That's why wikis can be edited by anyone. Welcome aboard. [[User:0rion|0rion]] 10:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

== ASCII movie ==

Could the ASCII movie possibly be a reference to this [http://geekswithblogs.net/btinkler/archive/2005/03/21/26915.aspx Star Wars ASCII Movie] [http://www.asciimation.co.nz/ (can also be seen here)]? I don't know how common full length ASCII movies are, but something tells me they aren't that popular. --[[User:Electricnet|Electricnet]] 07:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
: Could be, although it's kind of a stretch, seeing as the actual "movie" SB watches doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars; maybe if the movie was something sci-fi. I think, more than anything, it's just a reference to SB being hopelessly behind with technology, like when he refered to the Cheat's monitor as having its back chopped off, etc. But then again, what do I know? haha -- [[User:Mohan37|Mohan37]] 07:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::I agree, it's likely not a specific reference to any one ASCII instance. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I was totally not aware of this movie, but HOLY CRAP it is amazing!!! Thanks for directing us to this! But, no, I don't think it is a reference.[[User:EYanyo|EYanyo]] 04:30, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm surprised people are doubtful of this. How is watching an ASCII movie on your computer NOT a referance to that? [[User:Rexisfed|Rexisfed]] 19:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Chili's fajitas ==

This was probably rightfully removed — while the utensils are identical to those used at Chili's, I'm not surprised that they are used elsewhere. Also, the Mariachi band doesn't fit with Chili's. At any rate, the resemblance of the utensils is strong enough that I think it's worthy of posting on the talk page. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
*The pans, wooden trays, and tortilla containers that accompany The King of Town's fajitas are the same style as those served at the popular restaurant chain [[Wikipedia:Chili's|Chili's]].

Just to verify that this is not a fun fact, I've seen identical platters at a local Mexican restaurant as well as an Indian restaurant. I guess they've become very popular lately.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 17:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been to three non-Chili's restaurants in the past year that used the EXACT SAME STUFF. Not a reference to anything in particular. --Steve Worek
:Plently of Mexican places do that and pretty much every time freshly-cooked fajitas are served, they put it in those types of dishes. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::It's just funny how you should say that because just yesterday I went to an Authentic Mexican restaurant, and the EXACT utensils were used. There is no reference to anything in particular, just Mexican food. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:::And I was at about five last week. None of us got fajitas, but there's a Mexican restaurant in the town next to us that uses those same dishes. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, it seems it's settled then. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wow, I'll say. Good work, guys! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
*Chili's is not a Mexican restaurant. It's continental. Just FYI. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Dangeresque 3 = Duke Nukem Forever (sorta) ==

For some reason, the Dangeresque 3 poster reminded me of a poster I once saw at the local gaming store of Duke Nukem Forever several, several, several years ago. I'm trying to do an image search to see if I can find it (with little luck right now). Anyway, when you think about it, the Dangeresque 3 poster has all those dates scratched off then it says "We'll See..." and Duke Nukem Forever had a buch of dates set, but had delays, delays, and delays, then finally, according to 3D Realms's site, it says [http://www.3drealms.com/duke4/ "When it's done."] - {{User:Neo_foxx000/sig}} 13:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

*That's what I thought. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 17:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

== Bwoken ==

I keep getting a 404'd when I try to watch this email. Is something wrong with the site, or did someone pour Mountain Dew on my computer again?

Hit Control + F5, that should do it. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 20:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

== Dangeresque Poster ==

Should I note (perhaps in "Remarks") that the pair of glasses on the Dangeresque 3 poster seems to be made for three eyes?

==Ice Cold Refreshment==

The "ice cold refreshment" trivia refers to [[Wikipedia: Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] games and trivia ads seen before a film. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 17:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
: There are plenty of companies that sponsor trivia screens. And plenty of ice-cold refreshments. I'm drinking a Pepsi as we speak. [[User:Mohan37|Mohan37]] 17:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::the red background with the filmstrip on the side is associated with coke. {{User:Csours/sig}} 21:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, coca cola is definitely the major sponsor of trivia things at the theater. it looks exactly like that -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 00:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Also, Coca-Cola is headquartered in Georgia. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

==Common Problems==

The most common problems with people talking during a film are:
# Giving away the plot during a suspenseful or comedic scene
# Commenting on every scene

[[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 17:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

: I think this is too high a level of "detail." There's not really an authoritative source to compare these statements to. I could, for instance, claim that the most common problem during movies is people making out. Or crappy movies. Doesn't seem like it's noteworthy enough for inclusion on the page. [[User:Mohan37|Mohan37]] 17:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::Forget it then. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== How much detail? What's a fact? ==
What is the standard for a "fun fact?" Some stuff seems kind of obvious or a stretch like
* "Please turn off your..." usually refers to cell phones and pagers.
* The refreshment trivia about popcorn pricing refers to the common problem with cinemas overpricing their food.
How do you decide if a piece of trivia is noteworthy or, well, just trivial? [[User:Mohan37|Mohan37]] 17:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, those really explain the obvious. That's common for early stages of articles; everybody is simply adding everything they can think of. The week or so after the release of the toon is then usually spent debating which facts are important and which aren't.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

::You might take a look at [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:: Those two "fun facts" leapt out at me as being outrageously unnecessary. Then I came here to find that duly noted. Someone be '''bold''' and remove them.

== Bet? Dare? Challenge? ==

*After reading off the name and location of the e-mail sender, what is SB talking about when he tells The Cheat "Told you I could do it."? I'm assuming that he was just proving to TC that he could read the details without mangling them, but it might be some more specific inside reference that I'm not aware of. Either way, I think it deserves a mention in the "Explanations" section. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 17:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
**Seems obvious that he was refering to his tendency to mangle names and places. Whether that's noteworthy, I leave it to others to decide. [[User:Mohan37|Mohan37]] 17:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I concur. Ding! Er, I mean, yes, it was his tendency to mangle places and names. Note that he still mangles Cooper's name ''after'' he points out "Todja I could do it!" to The Cheat. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::::That's the first thing I thought of when I saw that part. "Oh, he finally got through a closing without messing it up!" Also, Cooper reminded me of Megas XLR. That show is kewl. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::I took it to mean that he could get through one without making fun of it. Obviously he makes fun of some of the endings to the emails, but I think The Cheat may have thought he couldn't do it without making some joke about it. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 20:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

== Faceless Strong Sad ==

If you view the flash (.swf) file, right at the point where Homestar starts singing "Ever and more! Ever and more!", Strong Sad's face is BLANK. (He seems to lose his features the minute he goes off-screen.) It's off the left edge of the screen when viewing it "normally", so would that be considered a glitch or not? I'm not sure what the proper protocol is ...

In case you want to see what I'm talking about, here's a [http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/8776/blankpn7.png Screen Shot] of it (hosted by ImageShack ...)

--[[User:Bobsmith84|Bobsmith84]] 18:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
: We do not note "missing" objects outside the frame. The only times we note something unusual outside the frame is if it is something that does not appear in the 'toon itself, like some items in [[garage sale]] or the [[Mustaches|mustache]] in [[Senorial Day]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

::Gotcha. Thanks! (Noted for future reference.) --[[User:Bobsmith84|Bobsmith84]] 19:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

== Karate Car ==
Could the "Karate Car" movie be considered a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|Karate Kid]]?
:How? --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 21:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::Well, obviously, the names are vaguely similar! Isn't it obvious? Note, that was sarcasm. I'm getting somewhat annoyed at all this "scraping for references" going on here these days... =P -{{User:YK/sig}} 21:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, it's not "Karate Kid" therefore it is not a reference. But I see what you mean by scraping for references. Like, in unnatural Homestar makes a reference to chocolate cake from the previous email and everybody's like "Oh, it is not a reference, he only referenced to the exact thing that just happened last email, just like Strong Bad." --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::::No need to get testy, I was just trying to contribute...I'll try to stop "scraping for references."
I suppose the stick animation thing could be a reference to Xiao Xiao or other similar web based stick animations (particularly Xiao Xiao #8 where the character actually does flip over a moving car).
:After watching [http://www.xiaoxiaomovie.com/movie/movie08.htm Xiao Xiao #8], I see a few similarities, but nothing definite indicating a direct referance. I mean the cars are different (the villian in Xiao Xiao #8 appears to be in a SUV) and the manner of the dodge is different as well (ASCII Stickly Man did a dramatic frontwards summersault jump where as the hero in Xiao Xiao #8 appears to have jumped onto the hood and ran to the back of the villians car and hopped off). - {{User:Neo_foxx000/sig}} 14:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
:I would think that, given the computer medium, its appearance and the name, it would more likely be a reference to Karateka, if, in fact, it is a reference at all.
::To the unsigned posted above. I made a post in [[Talk:Karate Car]] last night taking a guess as to what you may be talking about. - {{User:Neo_foxx000/sig}} 13:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Actually, I was referring to the Broderbund game Karateka with my comment. My apologies for the lack of signature, as well, I didn't have an account at the time. But after reading your ideas, that actually works way better. [[User:Sabrewing|Sabrewing]] 22:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
::::I too thought about the Broderbund game called Karateka, but then I recalled from my younger days of when I played on my neighbor's Famicom that there was no sort of car (sports car or otherwise) in the game. So I did a bit of research on the word "Karateka" and long story short, I typed it all on [[Talk:Karate Car]]. - {{User:Neo_foxx000/sig}} 00:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

==Forty-Twan? Forty-Twone? ==
Any reason for it to be 'twan' rather than 'twone'? It seems like Senor Cardgage is mangling the phrase 'forty-one' to me... {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 22:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:Sounds like "twan" to me. Good luck making sense of a lot of stuff Senor Cardgage says. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

::Hm, I think it's forty-twone. Like, a mini-[[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "two" and "one". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Know what I think?? I think that the MOVIE everyone's seeing is called "Forty-Twone" and that Senor Cardgage and Strong Bad say, "'Forty-Twone' is on your LEFT.", like when movie peoples tell moviegoers where their specified theater is. I definitely hear an f in those sentences. -{{User:WeirdAl/sig}} 23:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC) (PS: This is now my favorite email! Yay, I have one!)

:Yep, I agree. Though Senor Cardgage always says things that are "almost one word and not quite another", what he's getting at is that theater number Forty-twhatever is on their left. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
::I think that Senor Cardgage says "lest" and Strong Bad says "left"
:::They both say "lest" to my ears. SB seems to enunciate the "s" clearly on purpose. -- homsanymous
:::I think "twan" is better since it is pronounced that way. "Twone" sounds like "phone" to me. e.g. Twan is to Taiwan. Twone is to phone. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 16:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
::::That's a reasonable point. Perhaps "twon" then. It needs to reflect the fact that he's combining "two" and "one". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

== Crowdbreaking ==
So maybe I just don't speak very good "Homestar Runner", but it sounds to me like he says "crowdbreaking" instead of "groundbreaking". [[User:Hrjogger|Hrjogger]] 23:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
:It's groundbreaking. That actually makes sense in the context. Just for future notice, whenever you think a character says something that doesn't make sense compared to what we already have in the transcript, you probably just heard wrong. Thanks for posting your opinion, though! :) -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think he says "crowdbreaking", as there's no such thing. The "N" is clearly audible, and there's no "N" in crowd. Being that I've been to a couple of groundbreakings myself, I fully understand the sentiment of "what is the point of those things?" Plus "crowdbreaking" just isn't funny and doesn't make sense. So until next time, keep making stupid remarks, and I'll keep making fun of them. I mean, answering them. Preeeeow. 
[[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 23:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

==Please Turn Off Your==

"Please turn off your..." usually refers to electronic devices such as cell phones and pagers. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's already in explanations, why did you repeat it here? [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 00:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

:Someone removed it. I'll put it back. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:30, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
::I really don't think that needs to be explained. That's why I removed it earlier. Someone further up the page already noted that it is too obvious. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

==The Cheat talks again!==

Doesn't the first thing that The Cheat say sound ironically like "Yeah, yeah."? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:The Cheat has done that before, it's no big mystery. -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 00:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== The Homestar ==

I think that Homestar singing "Ever More" is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven." Anyone agree with me?
:I'd have to say no, seeing as it doesn't make any sense whatsoever in this context. If "The Raven" was a song, and this was a Halloween toon, then it may have been plausible.--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 03:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
::For the record, "The Raven" was made into a song in the 1970s by the Alan Parsons Project. Which is a good song, but doesn't sound anything like what Homestar says.[[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 06:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:No, sorry. It's totally not in the right context, and "Ever and more" foesn't really sound like it would be from "The Raven," where the repeated words are "nevermoer" and "evermore" along with very similar permutations. I'd say that this is much too far of a stretch (Strong Bad could do cartwheels for as long as this is a stretch). [[User:EYanyo|EYanyo]] 04:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Subtitle madness ==

Can anyone tell me why people have started adding subtitles that show one part of a quote at the left, then the second in the middle or right? It just seems really unnecessary to me. [[User:Tony Myers|Tony Myers]] 04:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

:I don't see any subtitles being rendered side-by-side in this email. It might be my userscript is out of date (?). Are the subtitles being spoken by two characters? (Or, a soundeffect in addition to speech?). {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 04:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

::He's talking about where sometimes in the script, the line is shown gradually, rather than all at once. It's generally used if the pieces are too small to make them a line of their own, but showing them all at once would spoil some punchline... though more often it's added for comedic effect (such as Homestar in [[long pants]]), and I agree that it's a bit overused in this way (every now and again is fine, but it doesn't need to be used every email). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Progrum? ==

In the transcript, the announcements says to turn off bazookas before the "progrum." This is, I assume, a phonetic rendering of the way the announcer pronounces the word "program" in the cartoon. My personal experience probably doesn't matter much, but I've heard "progrum" (as the announcer says it) used as a conventional pronounciation of the word "program." Perhaps a phonetic spelling isn't necessary?

BTW, this seems to suggest that the cartoon's pronounciation is conventional.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/program

:The transcriber noticed it because the word [[Progrum|progrum]] has been used before.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
::I believe, unless something's specifically spelt out for us, we try to match what was said phonetically (a good example being Coach Z). Furthermore, "[[Progrum|progrum]]" is something of an inside joke on H*R. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that is an acceptable pronunciation; the only reason we spell it that way when we transcribe it is that [[:Image:sbinterview logo.png|it has appeared as such in print]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with that, certainly; however, the page still calls it an intentional mispronunciation; since "progrum" is an acceptable pronunciation, perhaps it should be re-worded?

:That makes sense to me — I changed it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

== Coach Z is not my lover ==

Is it just me, or does [[Strong Bad]]'s singing of "Coach Z is not that cool" in the email intro sound very much like some parts of [[Wikipedia:Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]]'s [[Wikipedia:Billie Jean|Billie Jean]]? See the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlFC70EFBQQ music video at youtube] to have a listen. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:Hey, you're right! It does sound a lot like that line down to the beat of where SB goes "here comes an email" matching the lyric after that being "She's just a girl." - {{User:Neo_foxx000/sig}} 18:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
::I concur. That's a VERY strong resemblance. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I refuse to watch anything Michael Jackson unless it was from before he got so creepy, so I'm not watching that video anytime soon. However, if you guys say it's a reference, go ahead and put it on the page. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 19:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
::::Actually, Billie Jean (the original release) was one of his first hit singles, back in 1983. Way before he started changing his skin tone and letting his fame get to his head. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::Now that I actually watched it (and thought it was pretty cool), it's becoming abundently clear that ''this'' email is referencing that song. For sure. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Ahem. I was alive (and in college) (!) when Billie Jean was released. It's possibly a reference, but I think that's a real stretch. I think the next line, "Here comes an email," doesn't match up at all. --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 04:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC) 
:I doubt it's a blatant reference, so much as a resemblance. In other similar cases, Strong Bad's song has "sounded like" the RWR song, but hasn't been close enough to it to count as a direct reference, and he usually concludes with something much more ad-hoc anyway. So this follows the same pattern. That's why I worded the RWR as "bears a strong resemblance to", not "is a reference to" or "parody of". {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
::It sounds a lot like Spill the Wine by Eric Burdon and War. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Skunkguy, Michael Jackson didn't change his skin on purpose. He has vitiligo.
:He sure made a big deal about all the plastic surgery he was getting for it. Maybe in order to hide his condition? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
:Vitiligo? You got a source on that? People with vitiligo usually have a blotchy, uneven loss of pigment. Michael's skin looks uniformly gray. --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 19:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
::There's no real reason to talk about this here. Internet forum/wiki/MySpace + Michael Jackson = many, many pages worth of posts. The email song sounds a lot like Billie Jean, so it deserves a mention at least. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 20:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I do want to leave a quick reply for Mike there, though: I was aware of MJ having a condition (didn't know what it was called) that caused splotchy skin pigmentation as you described. I have no issue with that. Nor do I have an issue with him getting a pigment job to hide these effects. What I did have an issue with was the big deal he made out of getting plastic surgery, along with his many other forms of general weirdness. ... That said, Brightstar Shiner is right, and we should move any further discussion about Jackson himself off of the wiki. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:11, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

== Bazoka? ==

Should we list "Strong Bad's Bazoka" under weapons? - {{User:HeyMama/sig}} 04:14 pm, Febuary 21st 2007.
:See [[Strong Bad's Bazooka]]. That's category is Weapons.--{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Wisecracking Transmission! ==

Just a thought, but Strong Sad's mention of "that commercial with the wisecracking transmission" might be a reference to the Cottmans Automotive commercials with the talking cars.
*You have a good idea there. However, there have been other commercials with talking cars. Chevron comes to mind. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 05:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

==Nokia?==

The tune Strong Bad hums sounds more like revely. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 23:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
:Did you check out the Wikipedia page? Nokia itself claims that the Nokia tune is an original work, but if you listen to "Gran Vals," it's exactly the same. The nokia tune sounds nothing like ''Reveille'', at least to me.
::As a former bugler who played "Reveille" '''every darn morning''' I can assure you, this is NOT Reveille. It is, however, a clear reference to the Nokia ringtone. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

==Luked so Wilson?==

Okay, I have generally bad hearing, but in the easter egg it sounds to me like Homestar is saying that "cinema has never before listened so willingly." Makes more sense considering he was conversing with the screen.
:The reasoning is that the other Easter egg (the refreshment trivia one) also mentions Luke Wilson. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
:: i originally thought it said lisped so wilson, but on further consideration, and after reading the other easter egg, i now agree h*r says luked. {{User:Csours/sig}} 00:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

== Weebl and Bob ==

This reference to Homestar's Viking hat and wobbling was removed and then put back in. It doesn't look like we have a STUFF discussion going on...any opinions on this? I personally am not familiar enough with the reference to make a judgement. --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 04:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
:If anyone cares to see the episode, you can view it [http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/history6 here]. I don't think it's a ref. Homestar bobs back and forth all the time. Maybe if the hat obscured his view... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
::I looked at it for reference. In addition to not thinking it's particularly funny, I also do not think it's a reference. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I thinks its a reference to runescape's berserker helm, espesially as the trumpeter is wearing run e armor. but i know im a crackpot. {{User:Csours/sig}} 00:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
== two and one ==
when gron sad raises his finger, he does it in a weird order: frame 1400 {{User:Csours/sig}} 00:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
:You're right, it looks as though he puts up his middle finger first and then his forefinger... I didn't notice that! [[User:EYanyo|EYanyo]] 17:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
:: Unless we assume that was his [[Left Handedness|left hand]], which it looks more like it is. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
:::look at the thumb. also hold up your left had like strong sad and see how it looks. {{User:Csours/sig}} 21:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

== Another kind of Potemkin (sp?) ==

Besides the battleship, there's also a Potemkin in the Guilty Gear series, who is one hulking fighter. Yeah, I guess the character got his name from the battleship, but I thought that that fact should be pointed out.

or it could be making fun of translations from japanese 2 english, and "pokemon" (or however the crap u spell it)
:...how? {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 22:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
::The egg specifically says "''Battleship Potemkin''"... It's not going to be a reference to something else. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

== "Here comes an email" ==

The tune for the second line of Strong Bad's intro is pretty clearly the main riff of "Snail Shell" by [[They Might Be Giants]], just in a much lower key, as the low-pitched Strong Bad is singing it. Hear the song on Google Video [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5293960515227182374 here] (listen to the opening riff and the line "I want to thank you"). This would mark the second time that a SB Email intro is done in the style of a They Might Be Giants song, the first being [[different town]] with "Ana Ng" (which is already listed on that page). -[[User:69.122.203.50|69.122.203.50]] 20:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' February 20, 2007

'''Running Time:''' 3:51

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Coach Z is not that cool; here comes an email.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: movie</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
 I was at the movies last night and this little girl behind me 
wouldn't shut up! has that ever happened to you? 
Cooper 
Franklin TN.
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the name and address as "A person called Cooper, from the city of Franklin, in the state of Tennessee."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Told you I could do it.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I feel ya, Coopreme. It's a good thing they make you turn off your bazookas before movies man, or every one of my theater-going experiences would end in smoldering crater fashion.

''{Cut to a cinema entrance lobby. Posters for Dangeresque 3 and King Bubsgonzola Supreme hang in the background. Senor Cardgage is an usher; Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom walk in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The experience starts out promising enough...

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Good efening, Bontilda. ''{takes Strong Bad's ticket and tears it}'' Forty-twone will be on your lest.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just you watch, The Cheat. Some day ''I'm'' gonna be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest.

''{Cut inside the cinema. Coach Z is watching the movie screen, fidgeting and thinking hard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It begins with the genius who can't resist answering the oh-so-challenging film trivia slides they show before the movie.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I know this one! The Brat Pack! Pan-and-scan! Spencer Tracy!

''{Cut to Strong Bad. The Cheat is visible on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Real impressive, Ebert. We've only seen this slide ten times since we all sat down.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' If you answered "B", you're ready for film school.

''{Cut back to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Awr, it was ''{hits himself}'' ice cold refreshment. I should've known.

''{Cut to the screen, which reads:}''

<blockquote>
<big>MOVIE & REFRESHMENT TRIVIA*</big>
The correct answer was : 
B: Ice Cold Refreshment
*ACTUALLY JUST REFRESHMENT TRIVIA
</blockquote>

''{Another slide is shown on the screen, with a picture of a bazooka with six slashes on it, labeled "Please Be Considerate. Because no one wants to watch a smoldering crater."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Be considerate of others. Please turn off your bazookas before the progrum.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then, once the movie starts, don't forget the guy who insists on rattling off the complete filmographies of each of the actors.

''{Cut back to the audience, and pan from Pom Pom to Strong Sad.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' —but when I returned, the DNA evidence was gone!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, ''{points at screen}'' and he had a cameo as Stevedore #2 in the prequel, and he was in that car commercial with the wisecracking transmission, and he has a Bacon number of 4! ''{holds up four fingers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up and turns back to face Strong Sad}'' And this is my FIST! ''{raises said fist}'' You might remember it from ''Bloodied Pulp'', the amazingly true story of your face in five seconds! ''{sits back down}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pointing at Strong Bad}'' He was in Dangeresque 1 and 2!

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is sitting next to Strong Bad and eating popcorn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And if you think the guy sitting next to you munching popcorn is bad, ''{Strong Bad's head turns slowly in The Cheat's direction}'' try going to a theater where people regularly sneak in their own all-you-can-eat fajitas!

''{Cut to the King of Town, who is holding a frying pan covered in sizzling food, with a stack of similar pans in the seat beside him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Wha?! This was all in my box of Milk Duds.

''{Pan back, behind the King of Town, there are the Knight (with a guitar), the Hornblower (with a horn) and the Blacksmith (with maracas). The three of them play a brief Mariachi melody. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that brings me to the little girl behind me who wouldn't shut up.

''{Pan behind Strong Bad, Homestar Runner is standing there, wearing a viking helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more! Ever and more! Ever and more!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is the kind of person that likes to talk to the movie. But not in the usual ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words}'' "Don't go in there!" or ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words again}'' "Oh no he di'n't!" type of way. He just... makes small talk with the characters, and chit-chat.

''{Cut through white to some time in the movie. Homestar is sitting on his seat, with the viking helmet on the seat next to him.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I figured out their plan.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I figured I'd just cut up some iceberg lettuce, throw some tomatoes on there, maybe a little catalina. Nothing fancy, nothing fancy.

''{Cut through white to later in the movie. Homestar is lying on his seat, with his head resting on the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, have you ever been to a ground-breaking? I mean, what is the point of those things?

''{Cut through white again, Homestar is lying upside down on his seat, with his legs in the air.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know where the real money is? Phone books.

''{Cut through white yet again, Homestar is sitting up normally.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder how you spell tabasco. ''{stands up}'' TABASCOooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Gets up from his seat again and turns around.}'' What is wrong with you people?! Do you not notice the giant movie over here? Were all the local sit-around-and-suck-out-loud places closed?!

''{Strong Bad picks up a bazooka, holds it beside his head like a cell phone, and imitates a ringtone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, di-a-lo-do, da-a-lo-do, di-a-lo-do, ''die''!!

''{Strong Bad lowers the bazooka to point at the camera and fires it. Fade back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, that's why I'm not allowed at the movies anymore. But I don't care. I brought my movie viewing into the digital age. And I dig-it-all!!! Check it out!

''{Strong Bad runs "karatecar.exe". An ASCII art movie starts. A stick figure man walks along a street, with buildings in the background, and a car drives across. The stick figure jumps and does a somersault over the car just before he gets hit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Oh, look out, Mister Slashy-Man!

''{The movie cuts to a closeup of the car.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Ooh, something exciting!

''{The movie cuts to a closeup of the stick figure man, who says "Now THAT was a ''sports'' car!". He then does some karate moves and says "Hi-YA!".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Aah, I guess I'm talking during the movie! Kind of a hypocrite! Gonna shut up now!

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

===Remarks===
*Despite the lack of a specific release date and that it just says "We'll see", the poster for Dangeresque 3 is still labeled "Now Playing".
*When watching the [[Wikipedia:ASCII art|ASCII art]] movie, Strong Bad says "Kind of a hypocrite!" because he was talking during it. However, he was ''yelling'' during the actual movie, and that is not mentioned.
