'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

'''DVD:''' [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]]

==Transcript==
''{Cut to the Lappy. Gavin is crawling on the screen. The lights are out. Strong Bad is not present. The lights suddenly turn on and Gavin crawls away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks in}'' A little bit of email. Some you-and-me-mail. ''{begins reading}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: question</div>
What ever happened to the get up noise? I think it 
was cool. 
Sincerely yours marc baroni AZ</blockquote>

''{Reads "marc baroni AZ" as "macaroni from A to Z"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Alphabet macaroni! ''{typing}'' The get up noise? Oh wait, you mean the Geddup Noise. This guy!

''{Strong Bad gets up and sits down three times, making the noise each time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ahhh, what fun! But that's not even the real Geddup Noise. That's just his cousin, Chairscoot. ''{clears screen}'' No, the real Geddup noise split quite some time ago. Somewheres right around email 84, Ol' Geddy got all big overseas. And then the phone calls started coming in.

''{Cut to a close-up shot of Strong Bad. He is holding a phone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{into phone}'' Hello? What? Yes, no, yes.

''{Zoom out to show that he's in his computer room. The text from email 84 ([[kids' book]]) is displayed on the screen of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's for you. ''{tosses phone at stool}''

''{The Geddup Noise is heard. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And before I know it, every-freakin-body's talkin' about the Geddup Noise. ''{The Geddup Noise is heard over the last two words.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z and Bubs at the concession stand, which is now labeled "BUBSO'S CONCESSION STAND"}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, now I got one Bubs-O. Who am I supposed to be? Aaaaooooroomah! Eeeeeeoooowree!

''{Bubs cringes as Coach Z makes these off-key sounds}''

'''BUBS:''' Is that supposed to be the Geddup Noise?

'''COACH Z:''' Hang on! Hang on! Let me switch my pitch up! Waaay-o! Waaaay-o!!

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Way-o, way-o? I'll be in the basement.

''{The concession stand turns dark with only a yellow light shining from the top. Bubs slowly sinks into the basement.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Way-o! Waaaay-o!

''{Cut to the booOOM box, which holds a cassette tape labeled "Normal Bias"}''

'''BOOOOM BOX (STRONG BAD'S MORNING TALK SHOW RADIO HOST VOICE):''' Hang on to your panties, people! ''{fart noise}'' Uh-oh, what's up? 'Cause we got the Geddup Noise ''{doing sound}'' all up in this piece! ''{Geddup Noise, followed by laughter}'' Oh, we got a live one! ''{old-timey automobile horn sounds}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad listening to the radio. He is wearing a black T-shirt that reads "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, man. The Geddup Noise used to be cool.

''{Cut to the set of The Show with Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And as always, at center square, the get-up noise. ''{Pan to a wider shot. Nobody is seen standing next to him.}'' What do you say, Geddy? ''{The Geddup Noise is heard, followed by applause.}'' Now that is just special. But I'm afraid the correct answer was "way-o, way-o".''{"WAY-O, WAY-O" appears on screen as Homestar says it. The "wrong answer" music plays.}'' But you will receive some fine parting gifts.

''{Cut to a copy of The Show's Stupid Home Edition}''

<pre>FEW PRIZES!
THE SHOW! STUPID HOME EDITION
- choose to recite a list!
- ask questions, demand answers
- mostly play by oneself
boardelectrix
</pre>

'''ANNOUNCER:''' That's right, Kevin. The Geddup Noise will receive a year's supply of our home game!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Even The Cheat was able to snag a piece of the Geddup Pie with his indie-tronic remix.

''{CD of "DJ Teh Cheat - The Geddup Noise" appears; scene switches to Club Technochocolate, where The Cheat is spinning his own record. Bubs and Pom Pom put their weight on it. The song includes the Geddup Noise played over and over.}''

'''SINGER:''' 
The Geddup Noooooise. 
The Geddup Noooise. (Geddup Geddup Geddup!) 
The Geddup Noooooise. (Geddup Geddup Geddup!) 
The Geddup Noooise.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And before long, a bunch of cheap knock-offs started popping up.

''{Cut to the King of Town, seated in a wooden chair at a table in his castle}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hello, America! It's the Standing Up Noise! ''{The "Standing Up Noise" logo appears, and the King of Town stands up; the chair makes a deep imitation Geddup Noise.}'' Boooo-ooo! ''{The King looks over to his right.}''

''{Cut to the Brothers Strongs' basement. Strong Bad is seated in a yellow chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to screen, smiling}'' And now, everybody's favorite style, the Git Outcha Seat Sound! ''{The [[Homsar]] walking sound accompanies the "Git Outcha Seat" logo. Strong Bad gets up from a yellow seat and makes a low-pitched imitation Geddup Noise.}'' Isn't that right, the Teach?

''{Strong Mad's left hand appears from behind the sofa. He has a blue sock on his hand with The Cheat-like features drawn on it.}''

'''THE TEACH (STRONG MAD):''' BLUE SOCK! BLUE SOCK!

''{Return to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, sounding embarrassed}'' Heh heh. That was just not, nu-, anything. So after that, Geddy bought a house in the Coches and now he just snowboards all day. He still pops up here and there in the odd, or sometimes ''very'' odd celebrity endorsement.

''{Cut to a shot of [[Hamburger Shampoo]]. The Geddup Noise plays in the background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Geddup Noise Approved!
<pre>
"Like a backyard BBQ...on your hair!"
hamburger
SHAMPOO
</pre>
''{Cut to Strong Sad watching the Hamburger Shampoo commercial. He is wearing a white T-shirt that reads "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Frickin' sell-out.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So I suppose that more than adequately answers your question, Shoshoni Macaroni.

''{Pan out to a medium shot. Homestar is kneeling to Strong Bad's right, holding a notepad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to stool}'' Excuse me sir, could I trouble you for an autograph?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, you know that's not even the original Geddup Noise. It's his cousin...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know, Chairscoot. He's my generation's Geddup Noise! Uh, could you make it out to ''Lou Dobbs''?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it, I'm outta here. ''{Walks offscreen to stage right, making the Chairscoot Noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! There it is! It's positively dreamy! ''{little hearts float up out of Homestar's head and pop like bubbles}'' Ohhhh! ''{Homestar faints. He knocks the stool which makes the chairscoot noise one more time.}''

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click "Coches" when Strong Bad is talking about the celebrity endorsements before the cutaway to Strong Sad to see a [[postcard]].
:''{The postcard's background is a snowy mountain range with the text ''Coches Mountains'' in the top left corner. [[Monkey D]] is up front wearing a winter hat, oven mitt and an ''I ♥ The Teach'' shirt. Along the bottom is the text ''Monkey D awaits you''.}''
*Click on the stool to see additional footage of The Cheat's ambient mix in Club Technochocolate.
:''{Cut back to The Cheat, Pom Pom and Bubs dancing at Club Technochocolate. Coach Z enters and dances across the room. Then Strong Mad's sock puppet appears up front for a bit and lipsyncs the words "geddup geddup geddup", then disappears and reappears to the left where it lipsyncs again, and then goes back up front, where it lipsyncs one more time and then "dances" to the music. Then it fades to black and the Geddup Noise is heard.}''
*Click on the notepad and it'll bring up autograph #1:
<pre>My Pal
Lou Dobbs,
Stay real!
Chairscoot
</pre>

Click on it again and it'll bring up autograph #2:
<pre>Lou Dobbs,
you been
working out?
- Brent Musburger
</pre>

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The lights are off and Gavin is shown on the Lappy because [[Acknowledged Update Delays|it had been 7 weeks]] since the [[lady...ing|previous Strong Bad Email]].
**There was a similar occurrence of this in the email [[army]].
*The label of the cassette in the [[booOOMbox]], "Normal Bias", indicates the [[Wikipedia:Tape bias|bias]] setting to be used when recording on it.
*"''The Show''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Stupid Home Edition" is a parody of popular game shows that give away home versions of their games as consolation prizes.

=== Trivia ===
*The labels on the disks in the floppy disk container read "[[Floppy Disk Container#low G man|low G man]]" and "[[Floppy Disk Container#axe of rage|axe of rage]]".
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad Smiling]].
*The Cheat's indie-tronic remix of the geddup noise contains harmonies in the key of C major. C4 ("middle C" on a piano keyboard) and G3 are the approximate frequencies made by the geddup noise, itself.

===Remarks===
* Clicking on Gavin at the beginning of the email still makes the [[Lappy 486]] respond with the ripple effect, as if you were clicking directly on the screen.
*Strong Bad says the "get up noise" is correctly the "geddup noise", even though at the end of [[the bet]] he himself calls it the "get up noise".
* Marc's question is odd because the Geddup Noise appeared in three of the five previous emails ([[boring (really)]], [[record book]], and [[lady...ing]]).
*A get up noise like that is not even possible on carpet. Strong Bad's stool makes a noise as if it were scraping against tile or hardwood floor.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] have mentioned this in [[army#Commentary Transcript|the DVD commentary for "army"]].
**The noise seems to exist as an entity unto itself. It sounds without the stool even moving when Strong Bad throws over the phone, not to mention its sounding in the studio of [[The Show]].
*Strong Bad would have to have looked up the email at which the Geddup noise got his phone call, because he lost count of emails at [[website|#51]] until he was notified in [[flashback]].
**Strong Bad may have been aware of the number during the beginning of [[caffeine]] when his email song was "and now, coming in at numbah 91, it's email!"
*The Cheat's DJ rig doesn't appear to have a mixer, only turntables and amps.
**Although, there may be a mixer, or other equipment obscured by the table, because the turntable on the far right has audio cables that don't lead to any of the visible equipment.
**The positions of the left (white) and right (red) jacks are reversed on the turntables (or the cables have been plugged in backwards).
*Right before Homestar faints at the end, his body shakes, but the notepad he holds does not move.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad is repeatedly getting up and sitting back down again, the laces on the back of his head should be visible while he is getting up.
*When Strong Bad is doing the Git Outcha Seat Sound, the yellow seat has only three legs.
*At the end, the words 'Lappy 486' are further to the left than usual.
*When Strong Bad takes the phone call, the [[Disconnected Telephone]] has no cord. When he passes it over to The Geddup Noise, however, a cord appears.
*When Coach Z is talking to Bubs, Bubs's arms do not have shining lines on them, however, they appear on the rest of his body.

===Inside References===
*[[Radio Stations and Shows#The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew|The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew]] was first heard in [[radio]].
*Strong Bad uses a [[disconnected telephone]].
*[[Boardelectrix]] also made Jurvy-Skat in [[Family Resemblence]].
*The "The Show" board game has a [[Blender]] on it.
*Strong Bad says that the "Git Outcha Seat Sound" is everybody's favorite [[style]].
*Coach Z's dance in the Easter egg is the "I'm Just Me" dance from [[record book]].
*The synthesizer used for The Cheat's song in this email sounds the same as the one used for the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] soundtrack.
*The hearts popping up around Homestar's head also happened when he "fell for Strong Bad" in [[do over]].
*The dance Bubs does during the scene with The Cheat is a nod to the original [[Dancin' Bubs]] game, in which the same dance can be replicated.
*The King of Town [[The King of Town Booing|boos]] himself.
*Strong Bad tells everybody to hang onto their [[Underwear|panties]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad's "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt" T-shirt refers to [[Wikipedia:Fugazi (band)|Fugazi]]'s "This Is Not A Fugazi T-Shirt" T-shirts.
*Strong Sad's "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks" shirt is akin to the shirt worn by the late [[Wikipedia:Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] lead singer [[Wikipedia:Kurt Cobain|Kurt Cobain]] on the cover of [[Wikipedia:Rolling Stone|Rolling Stone]], which read "Corporate Magazines Still Suck", which was also referenced in [[Homestarloween Party]] in which Homestar (dressed up as Kurt Cobain) wore a shirt with the SST Records' slogan "Corporate Rock Still Sucks", which itself is a parody of the motto, "Corporate Rock Sucks".
*[[Wikipedia:Lou Dobbs|Lou Dobbs]] is the anchor and managing editor of CNN's [http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/ Lou Dobbs Tonight].
*[[Wikipedia:Brent Musburger|Brent Musburger]] is a sports announcer for ABC.
*Homestar referring to the center square is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], where famous comics would often sit in the "center square" for long periods at a time.
*"[[Wikipedia:Indietronic|Indietronic]]" is a musical genre that merges the methods of [[Wikipedia:Electronica|electronica]] with the broader context of [[Wikipedia:Indie (music)|indie music]].
*"The Coches" may be a reference to Las Coches Mountain, located in the [[Wikipedia: Sierra Madre Mountains (California)| Sierra Madre Mountains]].
* The Show's announcer calls Homestar "Kevin", which could be a reference to [[the bet]]

===Fast Forward===
*The Cheat's Indie-tronic remix would later be heard on Pom Pom's cell phone in [[technology]], as well as in [[Strong Badia the Free]] as background music at Club Technochocolate.
*The [[Coches Mountains]] are once again mentioned in [[looking old]].
*Coach Z was refered to as Sound Effects Man in [[Happy Hallow-day]]
*Bubs descends into his basement again in [[winter pool]].
*Bubs' and Pom Pom's respective dance moves appear in [[disconnected]] and [[nightlife]], respectively.

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{while Gavin is on The Lappy}'' Looks like we took a long break after this— ''before'' this one, not after this one.

'''MATT:''' We may have taken one ''after'' it too. ''{pause}'' Gavin— When Gavin shows up on your doorstep— ''darkens'' your doorstep. ''{pause}'' Talk about it, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Uh... it's early in the morning for us today. ''{Matt laughs}'' It's our first commentary of the day.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so... people like to point out to us that he's clearly on shag carpeting—

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' —when it makes this noise.

'''MIKE:''' But when we first made that noise, we hadn't shown the wide view of his computer yet.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' And so... we didn't think of that when we decided to put him on orange— burnt orange shag carpet.

'''MATT:''' There's no— there's no style guide, or continuity— we don't have a continuity person working on set.

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

'''MATT:''' Look it's ''Bubso's'' Concession Stand, if you can see up at the very tip top there.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' I never noticed that, yeah. Or maybe "Bubs-8" or "Bubsu".

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It could be "Bubsu".

'''MATT:''' "Bubsu", is that like Suudsu?

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

'''MIKE:''' Oh this was the— have we ever done the basement again?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike, imitating elevator noise}'' Mhhwwaaooo... we've never made reference to it, no.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, ok, ''{trailing off}'' I couldn't remember.

'''MATT:''' And uh, the time when— What happened when Homestar was in that box? Is that the Fall Float Parade, when Strong Mad runs off with it?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, with Bubs' Concession Stand?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and he's just in that box. So, possibly underneath that box he was sitting on there's a secret elevator.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' ''{overlapping}'' Theres a—

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Having—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt, indistinguishable}''

'''MATT:''' Go—

'''MIKE:''' Ah— I love The Show.

'''MATT:''' Do you?

'''MIKE:''' I do. I think it just reminds me of the Match Game—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike, imitating the generic announcer}'' That's right, Kevin.

'''MATT:''' Boardelectrix has, umm— what else is there? There's been a few.

'''MIKE:''' There's the—

'''MATT:''' What was the one from the Pom Pom... bonus email?

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh yeah....

'''MATT:''' Family resemblance, spelled wrong. ''{pause}'' This is a... good song.

'''MIKE:''' Ha!

'''MATT:''' We—

'''MIKE:''' Postal service would be proud.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Totally me doing my best— what's that guy's name, is that Ben Gibbord?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Sam Beam. Sam Rockwell. ''{pause}'' Jim James. ''{pause}'' Oh, King of Town.

''{both laugh}''

'''MATT:''' The king booed him— he does that a lot.

'''MIKE:''' He's done that before, he answers himself.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or boos himself.

''{pause until The Teach appears}''

'''MATT:''' I like that this implies The Cheat wasn't on board. Like The Cheat was just like "Strong Bad that's disgusting. No, I'm not gonna do some Geddup Noise show with you." And he's like ''{Strong Bad voice}'' "All right, fine, we don't need— we don't need The Cheat. Strong Bad— Strong Mad, put on a blue sock." ''{pause}'' We came up with the Coches mountains— was that on a flight somewhere?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I remember a ''long'' time ago, we were flying somewhere and it was going to be one of those, uh, you know, cut-into-the-middle-of-a-conversation situations.

'''MIKE:''' Right. Talking about snow boarding in the Coches.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{long pause}''

'''MATT:''' Did you ever have a, uh, "This is not a Fugazi" T-shirt?

'''MIKE:''' I didn't.

'''MATT:''' Eh, I did not either.

'''MIKE:''' I was too cool to have a Fugazi T-Shirt.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I had a "This is not a ''This is not a Fugazi'' — this is not a Fugazi" Fu— Fugayzi. ''{pause}'' Acts of rage...

''{pause until end}'' ''{microphone bumps}''

'''MATT:''' ''{softly}'' Was that all right?

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Fugazi|Fugazi]] are an American post-hardcore band that formed in Washington, D.C. in 1987.

* When fighting monsters in the maze, use the attack that starts with that monster's name. Therefore...
** Strike [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|Longrels]] Low
** Strike Hongrels High
** Strike Mongrels Middlin

== Walkthrough ==

{{spoiler}}

After giving your name at the beginning, type "hold breath" (or "nose") and "get tinkle" (or "metal"), which is a key in the chamber pot. ("reach into chamberpot" also works.) Don't forget to BREATHE. Type "breathe", "release nose", "unplug nose", "let go nose" or "smell".

"get hay", which turns out to be moldy bread.

"open door" and go "south".

"look at david bowie" (optional).

"use key" to unlock the drawer.

"get map". "look map" to get the maze directions. It disintegrates, so you'll have to write them down.

Go "north" and "talk magistrate".

Go "north", where you'll find a rat with a nametag. "look at nametag" (his name is Percy) and "talk to percy". He'll offer you the plague.

Go "north", and you'll get the plague (this can't be avoided).

"get mop", as you will need it to fight off monsters.

Now follow the directions from the map (see above). If you'd like, you can stop to "mop" when you see stains (there's a stain in every room of the maze). This is completely optional, and you only earn "experience points" from doing this (which do not add to your point total.) (Note: If you "mop stain" in a room where you've already cleaned the stain, you leave a new stain behind thanks to your "increasingly soiled mop".)

To kill the monsters use the strike with the same letter as the beginning of the monster's name (eg. "middlin" for Mongrel, "high" for Hongrel, and "low" for Longrel).

When you get to the kitchen, go "eastward" (you can't just type "east" or "e" here) to the infirmary.

"talk to doctor". Say "no" when he asks if you can wait. He'll saw off your plague, give you a sucker, and send you back to the kitchen. Do not talk to the healer; the doctor and the healer are separate entities.

"look at placard".

"get picture".

"talk to chef". He is really a [[Dongrel]]. "use picture" or "use sucker" to make Dongrel drop your mop, then "get mop" and "use mop" (if you never "talk to chef", you can skip straight to "use mop" and avoid losing 1 life).

It doesn't matter what command you enter next. Percy will show up. "take off loincloth" or "give loincloth" to kill him.

You win and IT'S OVER!!

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The second-to-last letter in "Auguft" is supposed to be a [[Wikipedia:long s|long s]] ("ſ"), which resembles a lowercase "f".
*A [[Wikipedia:Mongrel|mongrel]] is an animal or a plant resulting from various interbreedings, especially a dog of mixed or undetermined breed.

===Remarks===
*The map is not necessary to win the game, and therefore neither is the key. It's possible to beat the game without ever taking the key from the chamber pot or entering Ripberger's office (though you'll have a low score).
*Although the map disintegrates the first time you look at it, you can still "look map" after that to recall the map from your "parchmentic memory". Your "parchmentic memory" is wrong, so write down the moves from the first time you looked at the map.

===Goofs===
* The map you get in the game is slightly incorrect. The direction listed in bold has been left out: "West, West, North, West, North, North, '''North,''' East, East, North, East, North, North." (The map shown above is correct.)
* The game says that the maximum score is 100, but unless you use "get flask", there is no way to obtain this score. The maximum without "get flask" is 96.
* When the King shows up at the end, the text is misspelled "Congratualtions" instead of "congratulations".

===Glitches===
* When you go north from the office, you are given the description of the office, but are really in the hallway as expected.
* If you die, when you're asked "Play Again? [Y/N]", pressing N doesn't do anything.
* If you type "south" or "s" after the magistrate goes into his office, it will show a different response right after the normal one.
* If you "take off loincloth" or "remove loincloth" before you are supposed to, the game will play as if you are still wearing it (i.e. you still stuff things into it, and Ripberger doesn't mention you being naked).
* If you press down on the arrows, the "that does not computeth" screen comes up, but if you press it many times fast, it will appear many times filling up almost the entire narration text space.
* While in the maze, you can eat bread (and get the points and reset the plague counter) even if you never collected the bread. However, in the infirmary, you cannot eat bread at all no matter what you did, even though you'll still have the plague.

===Inside References===
*This game is a sequel of [[Thy Dungeonman]], introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[video games]].
*[[Dan]] is also referenced if at any time you type Dan

===Real-World References===
*In the Magistrate's office are three paintings, one of [[wikipedia:King Arthur|King Arthur]], King Graham, and [[Wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]. "King Graham" is probably a reference to either the hero of the PC game [[wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]], or [[wikipedia:Graham Chapman|Graham Chapman]], who played King Arthur in [[wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]].
**If you "look david bowie" in the the magistrate's office, the game replies: "There's something about that man... The picture was taken during the Tin Machine era. Thou art more of a Ziggy Stardust fan."

*Nutella is a real food made of hazelnut and chocolate. Nutella is meant to be used as a dip or food spread.
*When you enter your name, one of the things the game calls your name is "[[Wikipedia:scrumtrilescent|scrumtrilescent]]", which is a reference to Saturday Night Live's spoof of Inside the Actors' studio, wherein James Lipton (Will Ferrell) says "That show was delightful. No. No. It was brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent."

*If you attempt to search the hay after obtaining the bread, the game's narrator will mock you saying, "If thou only hadst a brain, thou would remember searching it quite thoroughly already." The first part of this is based on "If I Only Had a Brain" from ''[[Wikipedia: The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)| The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*The reference to a janitor in this game could also be a reference to a Sierra game called Space Quest, where you play a janitor named Roger Wilco on an adventure. The box art also puts Thy Dungeonman in a pose similar to that of Roger.

*The message for Killing a Longrel says that 'thou smotes its ruin', which may be a reference to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. He describes his defeat of the Balrog as "I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place, and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin." The film version of the book also said something similar; "Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside."
*If you try to give something you don't have, the game states: "Just like ye to giveth away something thou doesn't have. And ye STILL has my [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]]."

Now follow the directions from the map (see above). If you'd like, you can stop to "mop" when you see stains (there's a stain in every room of the maze). This is completely optional, and you only earn "experience points" from doing this (which do not add to your point total.) (Note: If you "mop stain" in a room where you've already cleaned the stain, you leave a new stain behind thanks to your "increasingly soiled mop".)

To kill the monsters use the strike with the same letter as the beginning of the monster's name (eg. "middlin" for Mongrel, "high" for Hongrel, and "low" for Longrel).

When you get to the kitchen, go "eastward" (you can't just type "east" or "e" here) to the infirmary.

"talk to doctor". Say "no" when he asks if you can wait. He'll saw off your plague, give you a sucker, and send you back to the kitchen. Do not talk to the healer; the doctor and the healer are separate entities.

"look at placard".

"get picture".

"talk to chef". He is really a [[Dongrel]]. "use picture" or "use sucker" to make Dongrel drop your mop, then "get mop" and "use mop" (if you never "talk to chef", you can skip straight to "use mop" and avoid losing 1 life).

It doesn't matter what command you enter next. Percy will show up. "take off loincloth" or "give loincloth" to kill him.

You win and IT'S OVER!!

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The second-to-last letter in "Auguft" is supposed to be a [[Wikipedia:long s|long s]] ("ſ"), which resembles a lowercase "f".
*A [[Wikipedia:Mongrel|mongrel]] is an animal or a plant resulting from various interbreedings, especially a dog of mixed or undetermined breed.

===Remarks===
*The map is not necessary to win the game, and therefore neither is the key. It's possible to beat the game without ever taking the key from the chamber pot or entering Ripberger's office (though you'll have a low score).
*Although the map disintegrates the first time you look at it, you can still "look map" after that to recall the map from your "parchmentic memory". Your "parchmentic memory" is wrong, so write down the moves from the first time you looked at the map.

===Goofs===
* The map you get in the game is slightly incorrect. The direction listed in bold has been left out: "West, West, North, West, North, North, '''North,''' East, East, North, East, North, North." (The map shown above is correct.)
* The game says that the maximum score is 100, but unless you use "get flask", there is no way to obtain this score. The maximum without "get flask" is 96.
* When the King shows up at the end, the text is misspelled "Congratualtions" instead of "congratulations".

===Glitches===
* When you go north from the office, you are given the description of the office, but are really in the hallway as expected.
* If you die, when you're asked "Play Again? [Y/N]", pressing N doesn't do anything.
* If you type "south" or "s" after the magistrate goes into his office, it will show a different response right after the normal one.
* If you "take off loincloth" or "remove loincloth" before you are supposed to, the game will play as if you are still wearing it (i.e. you still stuff things into it, and Ripberger doesn't mention you being naked).
* If you press down on the arrows, the "that does not computeth" screen comes up, but if you press it many times fast, it will appear many times filling up almost the entire narration text space.
* While in the maze, you can eat bread (and get the points and reset the plague counter) even if you never collected the bread. However, in the infirmary, you cannot eat bread at all no matter what you did, even though you'll still have the plague.

===Inside References===
*This game is a sequel of [[Thy Dungeonman]], introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[video games]].
[[Dan]] is also referenced in the context if you type dan

===Real-World References===
*In the Magistrate's office are three paintings, one of [[wikipedia:King Arthur|King Arthur]], King Graham, and [[Wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]. "King Graham" is probably a reference to either the hero of the PC game [[wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]], or [[wikipedia:Graham Chapman|Graham Chapman]], who played King Arthur in [[wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]].
**If you "look david bowie" in the the magistrate's office, the game replies: "There's something about that man... The picture was taken during the Tin Machine era. Thou art more of a Ziggy Stardust fan."
***David Bowie is a famous English rock artist whose career has spanned from the '60s to the present.
***Tin Machine was a four-piece rock band he formed from 1989 to 1992. Bowie dressed in suits and wore a mustache and beard.
***Ziggy Stardust was an androgynous character David Bowie invented and performed as for his classic 1972 album, ''[[Wikipedia:The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars|The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars]]''. Bowie wore wild, Japan-influenced outfits and the wild red hair that Strong Sad [[Halloween Fairstival Costumes|wears]] in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Nutella is a real food made of hazelnut and chocolate. Nutella is meant to be used as a dip or food spread.
*When you enter your name, one of the things the game calls your name is "[[Wikipedia:scrumtrilescent|scrumtrilescent]]", which is a reference to Saturday Night Live's spoof of Inside the Actors' studio, wherein James Lipton (Will Ferrell) says "That show was delightful. No. No. It was brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent."
*Ripburger is also the name of a character from the [[Wikipedia:lucasarts|Lucasarts]] game [[Wikipedia:Full Throttle|Full Throttle]].
*The Enchantment under the Parapets dance may be a reference to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" dance in [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]].
*Looking at the sous-chef/dongrel after it has been revealed says "That dongrel is one bad moth... Shut yo mouth!", referring to the theme from [[Wikipedia:Shaft (1971 film)|Shaft]], in which a line is often similarly censored.
*If you attempt to search the hay after obtaining the bread, the game's narrator will mock you saying, "If thou only hadst a brain, thou would remember searching it quite thoroughly already." The first part of this is based on "If I Only Had a Brain" from ''[[Wikipedia: The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)| The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*The reference to a janitor in this game could also be a reference to a Sierra game called Space Quest, where you play a janitor named Roger Wilco on an adventure. The box art also puts Thy Dungeonman in a pose similar to that of Roger.
*"1/100 of a gilderupee" refers to the estimated value of a [[Wikipedia:coupon|coupon]]
*Wicked Scepter is the name of a parody heavy metal band from the David Cross and Bob Odenkirk HBO series Mr. Show.
*Killing a Hongrel causes the one-liner "It's just a little crush," which comes from [[Wikipedia:Jennifer Paige|Jennifer Paige's]] 1998 single ''Crush''. Both Paige and the Chapmans come from metro Atlanta.
*The message for Killing a Longrel says that 'thou smotes its ruin', which may be a reference to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. He describes his defeat of the Balrog as "I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place, and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin." The film version of the book also said something similar; "Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside."
*If you try to give something you don't have, the game states: "Just like ye to giveth away something thou doesn't have. And ye STILL has my [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]]."

===Fast Forward===
*[[Ripberger]] becomes the name of a [[Cheat Commando]].
