==Running Gag==
I think I have stumbled onto something. I did some more searching...admitedly because I was tired of getting my fun facts deleted all the time...and with the aid of the handy dandy search engine, I realize this already is a running gag. TBC must really like ice cream. [[User:invisible robot fish|invisible robot fish]]

<hr width="60%">

TBC have made refrence to ice cream in the following places. Edit this section as appropriate:
*In the [[Museum]], there is a whole folder dedicated to [[Ice Cream]].
*In [[island]], Homestar asks "..is there ice cream yet" and Strong Bad picture Homestar as a bowl of ice cream.
*In [[the bet]], Strong Bad threatens to punch the KoT if he doesn't get a lot of ice cream.
*In [[part-time job]], Strong Bad reveals that he is part of the "Me and The Cheat Ice Cream Socials Club."
*In [[Bug In Mouth Disease]], Homestarrunner eats the KoT's perscription ice cream.
*In [[secret recipes]], he offers prank ice cream to Coach Z and Homestar.
*In [[Old Characters Page]], The Homestarrunner is a terrific athlete that shares his ice cream.
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]], a foreigner wants to take Marzipan out for an ice cream date.
*There is a not-yet available Videoelectrix game [[Sundae Drivin']], in which you can drive a bowl of ice cream.
*The two instances that started this whole discussion: the ends of [[lady...ing]] and [[kids' book]].

<hr width="60%">

First of all, [[User:invisible robot fish|invisible robot fish]], good work compiling the original list. Secondly, I disagree. I think ice cream is simply a common item, and so it's natural that it would pop up from time to time. I don't see a true common thread between all these instances that would elevate this to a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I agree. Why if this is a running gag, then why not make candy a running gag.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 03:46, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::If a common item, like ice cream, get to be a running gag than how about doors? There are alot of doors in Homestar Runner! Now for real. The Poopsmith is a goo.. Oh. Sorry. For real, such common and small itens you find in your everyday life simly cannot be a running gag. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 03:47, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::I think, perhaps, this has the beginnings of a running gag. About half the list is references to Strong Bad alone desiring ice cream. Perhaps it's another aspect of his 'hidden' personality (how many tough guys hang around Baskin Robbins, I ask you). If you look at it in this light, it's kind of funny. Funny and occurs often: that's pretty much the definition of 'running gag', if you get right down to it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::It only occurs often becouse it is such a common food item. Who doesn't like ice cream? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:26, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Pizza is also a popular food item, but is it used often on Homestar Runner? {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 12:42, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::::[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns0=1&redirs=0&searchx=1&search=pizza&limit=500&offset=0 Yes]. Even more than ice cream. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:44, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::::::Good point Good point E L Cool, I concede my point. Aparently its just a matter of pizza and ice cream are favorite foods of TBC. [[User:invisible robot fish|invisible robot fish]]

:::::::Thank you, mr. Fish. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:31, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I know this is an old discussion, but the recent attempts to revive the page made me take a look at the talk page, and I just wanted to say that, if the argument here was that ice cream is like pizza, note that [[pizza]] '''does''' have a page. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.139|132.183.151.139]] 20:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:We now even have a whole category of [[:Category:Generic food and drinks|generic food and drinks]]. I think a page listing the appearances of ice cream would be an appropriate addition to the category (especially since some of them, like prescription ice cream, are unusual and interesting), as long as it's clear it's a list and not a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:13, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
::I agree with Dot com comment and Lucsar's attempt to restore the page. The original page dealt only with the sketchbook but the information presented now reaches further out. I would like to challenge current wiki editors to revert more carefully and understand what other editors are trying to do. More importantly, '''''use talk pages more often when involved in disagreements of opinion, that's what they're for!''''' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:02, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

== could they be real? ==

I know this sounds crazy, but my brother says he's eaten one of these once. I know, he could be mistaken, or insane, or even on drugs. But he is not known to tell likes like that and he's doing pretty well in school and stuff. Anyone know anything else about this topic? [[User:70.59.187.173|70.59.187.173]] 23:42, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
: Of course not. Big in the summer of 1987? The characters were ''created'' in 1996. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:59, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
There were ice cream bars made in that style that really existed, but not with the Homestar Runner characters, obviously. But I had similar ice cream bars when I was a kid. That might be what he was thinking of. --S

== Merge? ==
Should we follow TBC's example and merge this with [[Sketchbook (museum)]]? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
:I don't think a '''merge''' would hurt. It would make sense to people who didn't read the sketchbook until after the 2006 refurbishment. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
::The page as it is needs to go. However, I noticed that (under the heading "Running Gag" on this page) there ''are'' several examples of ice cream besides what's currently in the article, and it would certainly improve the page to get them listed. But, I have to say that characters eating/talking about ice cream is not nearly as remarkable as other running gags like grapes, swiss cake rolls, melonade, etc. I'm on the fence. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
:::Right now, the best thing I can think of comparing this to is [[retirement A]] and [[retirement B]], which ''were'' merged along with the toons. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
::::On the other hand, those two were only separate for one week, while these were separate for years. Slightly different case, but it may still be good to merge this one (I'm still mulling this one). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

== Super Mario Popsicles ==

How are the Homestar Popsicles a reference to Super Mario Popsicles? They don't really look alike, and there's tons of other Popsicles based on cartoons. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 20:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== 8-Bit Ice Cream Is Enough ==

One of Running Gags is in 8-Bit Is Enough The Copy Protector Riddle is: What is PAUL REVERE's favorite ICE CREAM FLAVOR?

== myths & legends ==

Shouldn't the Bear-holding-a-shark frozen delights from [[myths & legends]] be included here? --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 01:50, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Six-Sadded, Die. - Trogdor's Fiery Rage

Neumannz — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 17:17:19 GMT

Neumannz: needs stage directions, and probably general editing

{{watchtoon|https://ksr-video.imgix.net/assets/023/078/953/76f960237858e839af3d8e5527c41d1e_h264_high.mp4|watch|fullurl}}
[[File:TrogdorsFieryRage.png|thumb]]

In the fourth episode of [[Six-Sadded, Die (series)|Six-Sadded, Die]], Strong Sad explains the intricacies of [[Trogdor]]'s fiery rage in [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]].

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

'''Date:''' Monday, October 30, 2018

'''Running Time:''' 4:30

==Transcript==
''{Shot of a black surface; Strong Sad places down a die, revealing it to resemble his head}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded, ''{sound slows down as logo fades in}'' Die.

''{Fade to black and then fade into a top down shot of Trogdor!! The Board Game}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rolls R}'' Grrrreetings again, Six-Sadders! Today I'm highlighting another of my favorite parts of Trogdor!! The Board Game. And this time, it's Trogdor's Fiery Rage.

''{Excerpt from the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings]] cut of "Trogdor" plays:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screaming}'' TROGDO—!!

''{Music cuts off abruptly and returns to regular Six-Sadded Die background music}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' This occurs at the end of the game, if you have not successfully burninated the countryside, the peasants, and the thatched-roof ''{stresses last syllable}'' cottages. We're catching up with Trogdor after he's just completed ''his'' moves, and I of course chose to play with my Chiaroscuro Trogdor, I hope you will do the same, ''{says the following in the same tone of voice}'' Six-Sadders, roll a sad six, represent. So now it's the countryside's turn. So, we pick a Movement card, and first, we spawn our peasants. Now, the card has two peasants, but we've only got one on the board, and it demands another peasant! So we take one peasant from the Trog-meter, and he is spawned from any unburninated cottage— I choose this one, for reasons I do not care to disclose. And now it's time to move them in the spirit of my favorite unproduced Don Bluth film, "Peasants Goes West"!

''{Strong Sad moves each peasant on the board one space west.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' West, west. And now it's time to move the knights and archers. So we look back at our Movement card, and they're all going to go ''{moves the first knight}'' north, east, east, north, north. Oh, and this one scores a direct hit on Trogdor! We lose ''another'' peasant from our peasant meter. He goes over here, into our new The Void card, where all the peasants that you lose from taking damage go. So let's see what happens with the other two. ''{Moves the second knight, video is sped up}'' North-east-east-north-north—and the Troghammer— ''{Moves the Troghammer, video is sped up}'' north-east-east-north-north—and last, the archers. ''{Moves the archer piece, video is sped up}'' North, east, east, north, north! But remember, the archers shoot arrows in both directions! Arrowed! Trogdor's taken damage from a knight or archer on an empty Trog-meter. So this triggers Trogdor's Fiery Rage.

''{Same excerpt from the Strong Bad Sings cut of "Trogdor" plays:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screaming}'' TROGDO—!!

''{Music cuts off abruptly and returns to regular Six-Sadded Die background music}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Trogdor doesn't lose, he rage-quits! We will draw five consecutive Movement cards. Trogdor will follow the movement path on each of those. ''{speaks in a salesman's cadence as he lists the following}'' He gets ''{"Automatic Perma-Burnination" appears on-screen}'' Automatic Perma-Burnination. He gets ''{"Wraparound Movement" appears on-screen}'' Wraparound Movement. He automatically ''{"Auto-Peasant/Knight Kill" appears on-screen}'' kills peasants, knights, and the Troghammer! If he can burninate the entire countryside, all the peasants, and all the thatched-roof ''{stresses last syllable}'' cottages, then he is victorious! And then, probably takes ''{speaks normally, background music stops}'' a really long nap. I would. I have to take, like, a three-hour nap just after eating a bowl of tom kha gai soup. ''{background music starts again}'' Okay, so here we go. We draw our first card, and Trogdor moves, burninating the tile he is on and any knights or peasants on it.

''{"Trogdor" begins playing in the background and continues as Strong Sad plays.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' See ya, knight! East! East! Cottage, burninated! North! Knight, gone! East! Card number two! East! Sorry, Troghammer! East! North! West! North! This is looking good! Onto Card number three. North! Another cottage! West! Peasant gone! West! North! Already burninated! Number four! South! West! Give my regards to the void! West! South! And, for some reason, the archers always escape.

''{Music abruptly stops.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'unno, they're wearing flame-retardant Robin Hood tunics, maybe? Oh, we're so close I can taste it! Like a bowl of tom kha gai soup!

''{Music resumes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Last one, card number five. We have got to burninate that last countryside tile, or we do not win. West, north, north, west! Whoa! We did it! Trogdor's Fiery Rage was a success! And even if it's not, it's still a really entertaining way to lose the game. Though, by adding fun to losing the game, it kinda takes the fun out of losing the game. Which, as a big fan of devastating loses myself, is one of my few criticisms of the game. They can make it hurt a little more.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' I'll make it hurt a little more! Huwah! ''{hitting noise}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wha! Stop throwing the box at me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' Okay! I'll switch to typewriters!

''{Music stops and there is a cut to Six-Sadded, Die. logo with another hitting noise.}''

'''Page Title:''' A Top Notch Quality Ghost Story!

==Transcript==
''{The toon opens with Marzipan playing her guitar in her living room, decorated with ghost streamers. Homestar walks up, and Marzipan stops playing as she turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angry}'' Marzipan, it's over! ''{raises his sword prop}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unfazed}'' Okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't take another day of this ''{plants his sword into the floor}'' garbage relationship!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's fine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what day is it?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Halloween.

''{Homestar produces a book labeled "PLAN THING" and opens it up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sheepishly}'' Oops, sorry! I was looking at next week. ''This'' is what I'm supposed to say to you today: ''{jumps up excitedly}'' Marzipan! This is it! ''{picks up and raises his sword}'' This Halloween I'm finally going to tell a top-notch four-and-a-half-stars-with-over-six-hundred-reviews-quality ghost story! And you know what that means!

''{The music Marzipan was playing starts back up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, that you're gonna break up with me next week apparently?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dramatically}'' Mr. Poofers must die!!

''{Cut to a title screen reading "Mr. Poofers Must Die". Mr. Poofers's eyes occasionally briefly flash in place of the O's in the title. The words "A TOP-NOTCH 4½ STARS WITH OVER 600 REVIEWS QUALITY GHOST STORY" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Who the crap is Mr. Poofers?

''{The scene transitions to Mr. Poofers on an orange background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey everyone! Hey everyone, look! Hey everyone, look at Mr. Poofers!

''{Mr. Poofers sits down, with an accompanying noise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers is a dog—

''{Mr. Poofers scratches himself with his hind leg and a question mark appears over his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —but he sounds like this!

''{As Homestar says each word that Mr. Poofers "sounds like", Mr. Poofers opens his mouth, and the same word appears inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Miffa miffa meeka moo!

''{Mr. Poofers looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' That is funny talk for a dog!

''{Mr. Poofers stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' What a great cloud with legs Mr. Poofers is.

''{Mr. Poofers's fur fluffs out to make him look more cloud-like.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Uh, I mean, what a great ''dog''—

''{Mr. Poofers returns to normal and scratches himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —Mr. Poofers is!

''{The screen changes to a dining room table with three pine cones on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers eats pimecones for breakfast, ''{Mr. Poofers appears and eats half of the first pine cone}'' lunch, ''{he eats the second}'' and dinner. ''{he eats the third}'' Imagine that! Pimecones for B, L, and D!

''{As he says that last part, placards labeled "B", "L", and "D" fall in front of the half-eaten pine cones. Cut to Old Man Rootbeer, who looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, look! Oh, look, everyone! There's Old Man Rootbeer! Old Man Rootbeer is not a big fan of Mr. Poofers.

''{The screen pans over as Mr. Poofers runs up in the background. Old Man Rootbeer shakes his fist at him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Not really that much of a big fan at all. ''{As Rootbeer, who points at Mr. Poofers:}'' That kid eats my pimecones! ''{normally}'' Shouted Old Man Rootbeer.

''{Cut to Rootbeer and Mr. Poofers, standing near a hammock with four pine cones sitting nearby.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover, as Rootbeer}'' I'm gonna take a nap on my college hammock, ''{Rootbeer shakes his fist}'' so don't eat my pimecones! ''{normally}'' Old Man Rootbeer told Mr. Poofers. ''{as Mr. Poofers}'' Miffa miffa!

''{Rootbeer lies down on the hammock, and his hat falls over his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' After a few moments, Old Man Rootbeer had fallen a-slumber.

''{Mr. Poofers sneaks closer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Juuust when the moment was right... Mr. Poofers stole his beard!

''{Mr. Poofers takes Rootbeer's beard and runs off. Rootbeer jumps up, his entire face now covered in the remnants of his beard, and shakes his fist.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' What a prize!

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers happily hugging the beard. A "ding" sound effect plays as the beard shines.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' An old man's beard, no less!

''{Cut to Homestar, standing next to a table with a candle on it, as silhouettes of the other characters look on. White noise plays for a few seconds as he looks around. Cut to a shot of the other main characters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmm... what did I just listen to?

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, sorry. "The end."

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is ''that'' what you dragged us all here for?!

''{Cut to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wasn't Mr. Poofers supposed to die?

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, man! Did it happen again?! Every time I try and tell a spooky Mr. Poofers story—

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Which has now been exactly one time.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —he always survives! I thought, if I could finally kill him off, it would definitely become a top-notch four-and-a-half-stars-with-over-six-hundred-reviews-quality ghost story.

''{Cut to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' But it didn't even sound like you tried to off Mr. Poofers in the first place.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, but I did. Watch this: I'm about to say "Then Mr. Poofers' head fell off and he died, died, died." Ahem.

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers walking down the street.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers was thinking about a branch, ''{a thought bubble with a branch appears over his head}'' a hotel, ''{the bubble expands an a hotel labeled "OH SWELL" is added}'' and a $350 pair of loafers.

''{The bubble expands and a pair of brown shoes marked "350" is added. Then it disappears and Mr. Poofers spins, looking like a tornado.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Gee whiz! That's a lot of Kansas match right there!

''{Mr. Poofers strikes a triumphant pose. The image poofs away and cuts back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See? It's like somethin' takes a hold of ya when you're telling a Mr. Poofers story!

''{Cut to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Eh, what a bunch of balarney. Ain't nobaddy can get fatally irresponsible with an animal like Coach Z! Let me take a whack at it. And I'll try and finish your story too!

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers and Old Man Rootbeer standing next to each other near a wall.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look, gentlemen! A roundish box!

''{A roundish box drops into the scene as both characters take a step back.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers ''{the "oo" is pronounced as in the word "hook"}'' pretended there was such thing as a roundish box.

''{Mr. Poofers pushes it toward Rootbeer.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' He gave it to Old M'n Rootber, ''{The "oo" is again pronounced as in "hook". Rootbeer scratches his head}'' who absolutely had not asked for it. ''{as Rootbeer:}'' This better be replacement pimecones! ''{normally}'' Belted Old M'n Rootber.

''{Rootbeer reaches into the box and produces a broken half of a brush with brown hairs stuck to it as an electric sound effect is heard. He looks at it, puzzled.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was harlf a hairbrush.

''{Rootbeer turns the brush over. The scene poofs away as we cut back to Coach Z, whose face is covered in sweat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{freaked out}'' Ooooohhhh! That wasn't me! That wasn't me! I tried to kill 'im! I swear!

''{Cut to Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, shut up, Coach Z, you infant. I'll kill the stupid dog.

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers sitting on a tiled floor.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Miffa meeka" ''{Mr. Poofers's mouth opens wide as those words exit through it.}'' said Mr. Poofers, out of his entire mouth. Mr. Poofers never complains, except once—

''{Scene shifts to Mr. Poofers looking at a table as a bowl of pudding, with a hair sticking out of it, slides in front of him.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' —in a cafeteria, with bad, bad pudding.

''{Mr. Poofers knocks it away angrily.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I mean, have you ever—

''{The scene poofs away and cuts back to Marzipan, whose face is also covered in sweat.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{distraught}'' I was wrong! I was so wrong!

''{Pan over to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oooh, this is getting supernaturally interesting! All right, Poofers, it's time for you to face... the Deathly Pallor! ''{closes his eyes, tenses up, and starts wiggling his fingers}'' I invoke protections from the third arcane level and send my mind into the psychic vault! You shall not break through! ''{opens his eyes and holds his arms wide}''

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pimecone.

''{A pine cone appears. The scene then poofs away and cuts back to Strong Sad, whose face is also covered in sweat, and whose fingers are still twitching.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{panicking}'' Oooohhh! Oohhh! Lemme out! It was horrible! ''{The Poopsmith puts his hand on Strong Sad's shoulder.}'' It was like Homestar's imagination was gushing out of my mouth like fire!

''{Homestar leans into the scene}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chuckling}'' I know, right?

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine. We all knew it was coming down to this anyway. I will merc Mr. Poofers for you sad sacks! ''{mutters to himself:}'' All right, concentrate, Strong Bad. Keep your mind strong! ''{lifts his head}'' Bad! See what I did—

'''EVERYONE ELSE:''' Yes!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, sorry.

''{Cut to an image of Mr. Poofers on a path, with Old Man Rootbeer standing in the distance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was nearly sunset.

''{Mr. Poofers suddenly puffs out, then slowly returns to normal.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Old Man Rootbeer stood at the end of the ave—

''{Zoom in on Rootbeer, and a flamethrower appears behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —flamethrower slung 'cross his back. ''{as Rootbeer:}'' You ate one pimecone too many, Mr. Poofers! ''{normally}'' Harkened Old M. R... Beer.

''{Rootbeer grabs the flamethrower and aims it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' He took dead aim on Mr. ... ''{he shows signs of starting to struggle to speak}'' Poofers...

''{Strong Bad appears in the corner of the screen, his face covered in sweat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dead aim, you see! And then...

''{Cut to Rootbeer holding the flamethrower, whose tip comes aflame.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...he... pulled... the tr— trrrri— trrrrrrrrrrr—

''{Sudden cut to a trolley labeled "O.M.R.B." with "POOFERS AVE." marked as its destination. Rootbeer is riding the trolley, smiling widely.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' Trolley 'round the block and then he gave it a ding!

''{The trolley's bell rings: Ding! Cut to another view of the trolley, with Mr. Poofers now riding it too.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' Mr. Poofers hopped aboard and they began to sing! How could we ever, how come we never—

''{Cut back to the main characters. As they sing, the words appear above them.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{singing}'' Why can't we slice that pie?

''{Strong Bad collapses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwww! It's no use! Mr. Poofers is too powerful!

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I guess we'll just have to start worshiping Mr. Poofers as our dark overlord.

''{All overlapping each other:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh, sounds good to me. 
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah, sure. 
'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll try anything once. 
'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{unintelligible}'' 
'''BUBS:''' ''{unintelligible}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' ''{unintelligible}'' 
'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I'm down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All hail Mr. Poofers.

'''EVERYONE:''' Miffa miffa meeka moo!

''{As the music picks up, cut to outside Marzipan's house, as a ghostly image of Mr. Poofers rises over it. Then cut to a Bookazon page for "Mr. Poofers Must Die: Homestar's Top-Notch Ghost Story", which starts with no stars and -4 customer reviews, but raises to four and a half stars and 601 reviews. Then, fade to The Field, where everyone is standing in costume. "Homestar as Dirk the Daring" appears next to Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homestar, nice Dork the Daring costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's who I dressed up as. Dirk ''{sounds like "dork" due to Homestar's speech patterns}'' the Daring.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, I said ''Dork'' the Daring!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right, Diiiiirk the Daring!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans, then quickly:}'' Hey Homestar, Duck left!

''{The caption disappears as a yellow light flashes on the left side of the screen and Homestar dodges to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, right!

''{A yellow light flashes on the right side of the screen and Homestar dodges right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, sword!

''{A yellow sword blinks to Homestar's right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, left sword!

''{A yellow sword blinks to Homestar's left. Then, sad music from Dragon's Lair plays as Homestar turns into a skeleton.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man!

''{Homestar's skeleton collapses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mooooom! Can I have 75 more dollars in quarters?

''{Homestar returns to normal with a flash. A box reading "Strong Bad as Viewtiful Joe" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Henshin-a-go-go, baby! That's... all that I remember from that game. Cool shading, maybe? Slow-mo? ''{His scarf starts to move.}'' Scarf... effects?

''{The box disappears but reappears near Marzipan reading "Marzipan as J. Mascis".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan. I really like your thrift store Gandalf costume.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Marzipan! Where you been?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, nobody gets that!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{clearly amused}'' Hey, Marzipan! You're living all over me! Mm-hm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No one gets it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's okay! Whatever's cool with me!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, I get the joke, Strong Sad, and it's still really lame.

''{The box disappears and reappears next to The Cheat, reading "The Cheat as a Korok". He jumps and throws leaves as wood block sound effects play.}''

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

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Strong Sad, reading "Strong Sad as Tummi Gummi".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad! I really tend to like your Bill Murray from cartoon Ghostbusters from the voice of Garfield: The Movie dot com costume! Never before has one voice so embodied ''{half-closes his eyes with orange eyelids, resembling Garfield}'' half-closed eyelids.

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Strong Mad, reading "Strong Mad as Kano".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{accusatory tone}'' Strong Mad?

'''STRONG MAD:''' FUNNY JOKE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Buddy?

'''STRONG MAD:''' FUNNY JOKE ABOUT MY COSTUME?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big fella. There are no jokes about your costume. Because no one knows who it is.

''{A question mark appears in the box, making it "Strong Mad as Kano?"}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BUT JUDGE DREDD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but you didn't dress up as Judge Dredd, did you?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ... BUT PROXIMITY TO JUDGE DREDD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm sorry. It's not enough. You're just blue Frankenstein. Better luck next year.

''{Strong Mad cries. The box disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Coach Z?

''{The box appears near Coach Z and Pom Pom, reading "Coach Z & Pom Pom as Missy Elliot".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do I even wanna know how you and Pom Pom are pulling this costume off?

'''COACH Z:''' I can assure you: you do not.

''{Pom Pom's head pops out.}''

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

'''COACH Z:''' Get back in there!

''{One of the costume's hands pushes Pom Pom's head back in. The box disappears and reappears next to The Poopsmith, reading "Poopsmith as a Sea Monkey".}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Y'all think that's the Poopsmith...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' This is gonna be about food.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' But in reality...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's gonna be about food.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I finally bred sea monkeys large enough to make sea monkey po'boys!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup, I told ya: about food.

''{Cut to Homsar standing on Homestar's porch.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' IIiiIIiiII've got hyperlinks stashed-a-mundo!

''{The box appears reading "Homsar as David St. Hubbins". Homestar pokes out of the door.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Homsar! I really like your "Doug Henning made his own mustache disappear" costume! ''{Goes back inside, but then immediately pops out again}'' It's really good! ''{Goes back inside, waits a moment, and then pops out again}'' Still like your costume!

''{He goes back inside one final time as the scene cuts back to The Field. The box appears next to the King of Town, reading "King of Town as Little Debbie".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' King of Town? Spot-on Little Debbie costume! Bubs? Serviceable Little Debbie's Dad costume.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I always figured Little Debbie was the snack child of Lord Baldrick Entenmann and Dame Sara Lee!

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Bubs, reading "Bubs as Stan S. Stanman".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Bubs. Can ya sell me any previously-owned vessels?

'''BUBS:''' ''{flailing his arms wildly}'' Check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out!

''{The scene cuts to a fake "Up Next" screen for "The Cheat Commandos Arbor Day Special", showing the Homestar puppet with a single cyclops eye in place of its usual eyes, and figurines of Reynold, Gunhaver, and Silent Rip in its mouth. After a few seconds, cut to a Yonder Website scene. Character 1 walks along and finds a familiar-looking giant ball of fluff.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Say, what's that, Character 1? Why, it looks like someone's left out the cushion from a papasan chair, that's right.

''{Character 1 leans on the fluff.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Real comfortable. Take a nap.

''{Mr. Poofers's eyes and tongue appear in the "fluff". Character 1 jumps back.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Say, that's no cushion!

''{Mr. Poofers stands up.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Why, it's some sort of beast of the apocalypse!

''{Mr. Poofers yawns.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Say, Beast of the Apocalypse!

''{Mr. Poofers opens his eyes upon being addressed.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' You look like you might need to be a little bit appeased.

''{Mr. Poofers puffs his fur out.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Is that right? Well, you know what that means, Character 1!

''{An orange falls from the sky in front of Character 1.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' A little bit of sacrificial fruit, that's right.

''{Character 1 catches the orange as Mr. Poofers turns around and opens his mouth. Character 1 throws the orange into his mouth.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Make an offering. Avert the apocalypse. Far out.

'''Bookazon.com''' is a fictitious online bookstore in a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Amazon.com|Amazon.com]]. The website first appeared in an Easter egg from the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[studying]]. It seems to sell less than reputable books such as ''This Book is Better Than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base'' by [[Lem Sportsinterviews]] and ''[[The King Of Town]]'s Adventures In Giant Cockroachland'' by Ronmartin Realdude.

== Spotlight Reviews ==
===''This Book is Better Than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base''===
MSRP: [[Tooty-two#Not Quite Tooty-twos|$28.9T]] (US).

==== Better than 4th base even?!? ====
''Reviewer: Tempe Sam'' 
''Rating: 4 Stars''

I'm read this book! Twize! It had more chapters than any book I've ever read! Which was my favourite? I dunno. I only read wan. But it got me where I needed to be. The restroom. When I'm done read this book I plan to ride my own. I call it "Leftover Sam and the Leftover Sam Book." Will you by it?!

==== DISAPPOINTED!! ====
''Reviewer: Dean With'' 
''Rating: 1 Star''

This book is only as good as AND NO BETTER THAN first base. Trust me folks, I've been there. True, only once and yes it was about 18 years ago but I'm no dummy. The title is a clear cut case of the ol' Bait and Switch. Most of the book ends up being about one time when the author's basement flooded and how it ruined all his old "Prince Valiant" comics.

==== Another Triumph for Sportsinterviews!! ====
''Reviewer: Just Nobody Sportsinterviews'' 
''Rating: 5 Stars''

Lem Sportsinterviews has outdone himself this time. After the soothing, mild success of his first published essay, "Why People in Hollywood Ought to Give Me $5,760," Lem has come roaring back like some type of book writing lion. The cover, the title, the fonts, the spacing, the margins, all of it: GOLD! Of particular import are his Chapter Headings including such tear jerkers as: 'My favorite pen quit working just now' and the politically charged 'I had to pay taxes AGAIN this year!' Lem has clearly entered a new stage in his career. Here's hoping it's the bonus stage.

Six-Sadded, Die

[[Strong Sad]] explains the rules of [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] on his review show, with [[Mike Chapman]], for the [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game Kickstarter campaign].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Mike Chapman}}

'''Date:''' Tuesday, July 17, 2018

'''Running Time:''' 15:38

==Transcript==
''{Shot of a black surface; a six sided die lands with a blank face up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded— Oop.

''{Strong Sad picks the die up and rolls it again; the die lands on two}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six—

''{Strong Sad picks the die up and once again rolls; it lands on five}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-sadded— ''{grunts in frustration}''

''{Strong Sad rolls the die again, landing on two and revealing that two of its faces have been modified}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six— ''{grunts in frustration}''

''{Strong Sad picks up the die and places it so the modified sides face the camera, revealing it to resemble his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded, ''{sound slows down as logo fades in}'' Die.

''{Fade to black and then fade into a top down shot of Strong Sad's hands setting up a game of Trogdor, sped up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Hello to all you Six-Sadders out there. Today we're going to be playing Trogdor!!, ''{Logo appears at the top of the screen as he says it}'' from Boardelectrix and my ''{extra emphasis}'' horrible brother. ''{logo fades out, Strong Sad resumes speaking normally}'' This is a co-operative puzzle-slash-area control-slash-area influence-type game for two to six players. Gameplay usually runs between 30 and 45 minutes, and set-up should take you a lot less time than it did me, due to my stubby fingers. So as we always say, let's roll a sad six!

''{Six-Sadded Die logo fades in, as Strong Sad gestures his hands in front of the camera at normal speed}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in person}'' Greetings everyone, and welcome back to the Six-Sadded, Die.

''{logo fades out}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I am your host, Strong Sad, here today with human Mike—

'''MIKE:''' Hi!

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and we're going to play Trogdor!! The Board Game. So, we've already dealt each other our Keeper cards and our Enchanted Items— Mike, who did you get?

'''MIKE:''' I am Stonklar! Stonklar has wraparound movement, which allows Trogdor to move, um, if he was here and wanted to move West, he would jump over here, if he was here and wanted to move south he would jump up here. Normally Trogdor can't do that—unless you have this special power—but the knights, archers, and peasants all do that automatically, they have that wraparound.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, like a King's Quest game!

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay! And then what is your magical power?

'''MIKE:''' My item is Two Gross Beans, which just gives me two extra Action Points, um, and these item cards need to be recharged a-after they're used, so my recharge is, uh, when he visits one of the four forest tiles.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah! Okay, so then I got Galgabudge, and this Keeper can treat mountain tiles as if they were also tunnels. So, there are these tunnels which, uh, Trogdor can use to take a little shortcut, and then apparently there are hidden channels within the mountains, so he can use them, like, for subway stops, basically. Uh, and then I got— My item is the Ring of Voip, I can jump to any tile. Like a teleport, right?

'''MIKE:''' Okay, and how—

'''STRONG SAD:''' Voip!

'''MIKE:''' How do you recharge that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I recharge when a cottage or cottage space is burninated!

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so we got our three cottages and three cottage spaces, there.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so now what do we do first? We—we deal one another an action card from the Trog-deck.

'''MIKE:''' Here's your card...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, I got Smell the Daisies... What did you get?

'''MIKE:''' I got Sidewise. So these are our banked cards, and we'll just keep those ready...

'''STRONG SAD:''' So we just keep tho— All the time we have one banked card—

'''MIKE:''' You always have one banked card, and then every turn you'll draw a new one, and you choose between your banked card and the card you draw that turn.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And what is this number here on the card, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, AP, Action Points. So that card, if you play that you'll get four Action Points, which is a movement, or...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. Well then, uh, why don't you go first, and let's just start a turn!

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so I'll draw, here... Shotput, which, uh, says, "After all Trogdor's actions, you may burninate from 2 tiles away. Includes eligible cottages."

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. So then you—

'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's five Action Points, or I can use Sidewise, which is six Action Points. So I think at this stage in the game I'm gonna use Sidewise.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so six Action Points, and then you, uh, we play that.

'''MIKE:''' So, I'm gonna discard here and play that. So I have six Action Points. So, uh, why don't you tell them what the—my different options as far as actions are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so an action can be: moving Trogdor one tile; uh, he can burninate the tile he is currently on; if he's on a tile with a peasant, he can devour that peasant, and it will go into the Trog-meter, which is Trogdor's health, his health—he runs on peasants; uh, he can also burninate a peasant, which—you put the flame helmet on the peasant, and they will leave a path of destruction, but they don't go into your Trog-meter, so it's a risky move, but pretty fun to watch; he can also hide, if you have actions left at the end of your turn and you go to a mountain tile, you can hide there, and you'll be, uh, immune from damage, ''immune'' from damage.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, just to recap, an action can be: Trogdor moves one tile, North, South, East or West; Trogdor can devour a peasant on the tile he occupies; Trogdor can ''burninate'' a peasant on the tile he occupies; oh, and one I forgot, Trogdor can burninate an eligible cottage on the title he occupies. More on eligible cottages later; and last, Trogdor can hide on a mountain tile, if he has at least one action left.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, what am I missing, what else can Trogdor do?

'''MIKE:''' Okay, well, so, movement, we gotta make sure— So, movement— Uh, Trogdor can only move—uh—North, South, East, West normally, he can't move diagonally, um, unless you have a special power, there are special diagonal powers, but— So, I got five, um, first—

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're playing the one with six!

'''MIKE:''' —six! Six! Six action points. So, I'm gonna start by burninating this tile! And we're on.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's one—one action...

'''MIKE:''' One action... So look at that.

'''STRONG SAD:''' You flip it to show the burnination.

'''MIKE:''' Burnination. Um, and we're gonna start, I'm gonna start heading, uh, working on burninating this cottage, and in order to do that, we have to burninate all the surrounding tiles and the tile it's on ''first'', before we can burninate the cottage. So I'm just going to start working on these nine tiles here. Alright?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Let's do it!

'''MIKE:''' So that was one, two, move here, three, burninate here...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I like that lonely tree. Very desolate.

'''MIKE:''' Four, move here, five, burninate... and then I have one action which burninates an adjacent tile, so that would be this one, then. So, with my sixth action I'll just burninate this one.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa, look at the destruction on that forest tile!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um, so, that's the end of Trogdor's movements, so now the next part of my turn is for the countryside to move.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, it's the bad guys' turn!

'''MIKE:''' The bad guys. The knights, two knights, and the peasants will move, and the archers. So first, we'll draw a card here...

'''STRONG SAD:''' What does it say?

'''MIKE:''' Peasants: so first, we're going to re-spawn peasants, if necessary, or if—um, we're going to look at this number here, three peasants, and we have three peasants on the board. So that means no new peasants are generated.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's great!

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Where would those peasants come from if they ''were'' generated?

'''MIKE:''' They would come from the Trog-meter up here, which is basically the health, so you don't want that to happen, and they would be generated at any un-burninated cottage.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, so we want to get those cottages burninated!

''{fire engine starts sounding in the background}''

'''MIKE:''' We want to get the cottages burninated, and get the peasants burninated, and they won't re-spawn.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, then here, hold up that card so we can see what... ''{Mike holds up the card}'' so then, what does this move mean over here?

'''MIKE:''' So, these peasants, the peasants...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hang on one second, let's let this... fire engine pass. ''{they wait until the fire engine is out of earshot}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay. So...

'''STRONG SAD:''' What—what does this move mean?

'''MIKE:''' So, this is the peasants. All the peasants on the board are going to move that direction, northeast.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' One tile, so they're just gonna all move northeast. ''{Strong Sad moves the piece}'' So, that guy's gonna move, uh, there. Good job, you got it, you got it. I'll straighten these out a bit. So this guy's gonna wrap around, where will he go?

'''STRONG SAD:''' So he'd go northeast, which'll be right there on the Trog-space. You— I'll let ''you'' put him on there.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, yep, so he's on our space, he doesn't damage us. And then, this guy's gonna move northeast up this way, which is this tile.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, he's—he's going caving.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm.

'''STRONG SAD:''' A spelunking peasant, perhaps.

'''MIKE:''' Um, okay. Um, so now we move the knights and archer.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' So they're gonna move east, east, north, east. So,

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right. Let's call it out.

'''MIKE:''' Let's go, we'll start with this knight here.

'''BOTH:''' ''{Mike moves the knight accordingly}'' East, east, north, east. Okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then this guy down here.

'''BOTH:''' ''{Mike moves the knight accordingly}'' East, east, north, east. Okay.

'''MIKE:''' We're safe.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And now the archers.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' And then the archer.

'''BOTH:''' ''{Mike moves the archer accordingly}'' East, east, north, east.

'''MIKE:''' Now, the archer, what he does, is he mo— he shoots arrows in the direction that he just last moved. So his last move was east, so he'll shoot arrows off this whole row.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And, what do we say? What do we do?

'''MIKE:''' We, of course, in the vein of Teen Girl Squad, say, ''{As Strong Bad}'' Arrowed!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa, that's a pretty good Strong Bad, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Can I try?

'''MIKE:''' ''{As Strong Sad}'' I can do a pretty good Strong Sad, too.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty good.

'''MIKE:''' ''{As Strong Sad}'' Yeah.

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're creeping me out.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Um, by the way, the knights, when we moved the knights, if they had moved or intersected a tile—the space that we were on, uh, they would have taken one peasant, uh, from our health meter, uh, Trog-meter there.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, well I'm glad that didn't happen.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG SAD:''' So we're safe now!

'''MIKE:''' So we're safe. So we moved our peasants, we moved the knights, we moved the archer, he shot along this row...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Peeoo!

'''MIKE:''' And, um, we're safe. So now, it's your turn.

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right, well, you draw me a card there. What do I get?

'''MIKE:''' So you can draw a card.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, I got "Jhonka Help". Uh, six action points, and for one action point I can devour any peasant on the board! Or...

'''MIKE:''' That's pretty good.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or, I've got "Smell the Daisies" here, which is four AP, and if I end my turn on a flower tile, the next player, which would be you, Mike, gets three extra action points.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so this is a daisy tile, and this one that we're on right here, that we already burninated, is a daisy tile. So, if you were to end your turn on one of those two tiles, then I would get three extra points.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I say we go with "Jhonka Help"...

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...and I'll keep doing what you were doing, try to bur— get this cottage burninated. We've gotta surround the cottages with burnination, including the one it's on, before we can burninate the cottage, right, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What about these ones on the side? Do you have to, like, burninate the—the wraparound tiles?

'''MIKE:''' Nope, so the one on the side, you only need to get these ''six'' tiles, and the one in the corner, you only need to get these four. So, the cor—

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. ''{forcefully}'' Why did you start with the hardest one?

'''MIKE:''' I was close to it. I was right there, and I had all those action points. We're doing— we're doing fine.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. Well, then, I want to play "Jhonka Help".

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, so then I got six actions...

'''MIKE:''' ...one of which can be devouring any of the peasants.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Rrright, so, let's see... I'm gonna... uh, should I go ahead and devour that guy, then?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, since we're on... this'll just be one of our actions.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or, should I take advantage of the Jhonka's Help and devour any peasant on the board?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping slightly}'' You should... I... It's up to you, you can do both. You can do this with the regular action and use the Jhonka's Help to do one that's further away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, let's, uh, go ahead and... eat that guy, ''{Mike moves the peasant to the health meter}'' so that's one jump, one action.

'''MIKE:''' It's up here.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{moving the Trogdor piece}'' Two actions, three, and I want to burninate that tile.

'''MIKE:''' ''{flips the tile over}'' Four.

'''STRONG SAD:''' So that's four actions.

'''MIKE:''' You've got two more.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{moves the Trogdor piece one more space}'' And then five, I'll move here with that guy, and hmmm, this might be a great time to show... peasant burnination!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you're gonna...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, we already added one of these guys to our health, and I'm feeling pretty confident, and...

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...peasant burnination's kind of fun to watch, so I'm...

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm opting ''not'' to use the Jhonka Help, which is okay, you can always, you can just... you ''may'' use the abilities given to you by a Trog... a Trog-deck card, uh, you don't have to, so I'm not gonna use the Jhonka help this time, I'm going to burninate this peasant with my last action, so that means we've...

'''MIKE:''' ''{puts the flaming cap on the peasant}'' Hey.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...put the flaming peasant helmet on him.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' put the fire helmet on him, look at how good he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then we're gonna draw a movement card up there, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{draws a card}'' Yes, this is a burninated peasant instead of a devoured peasant, and now we're just going to— normally peasants move ''{indicating the peasant's arrow}'' this way, but for burninated peasants, they're gonna take the knights and archer path.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so, first of all, we burninate this tile that he's on, right?

'''MIKE:''' Tile that he's on, yeah. So, ''{flips the card}'' that gets burninated.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' And now he goes, south, south, west, south.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so,

'''BOTH:''' South.

'''MIKE:''' Burninate.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' South.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Burninate.

'''MIKE:''' Burninate.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then, west, okay, burninate that one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' West, burninate, yep.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And, south.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' South, which was already burninated.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so, then, what happens to that peasant?

'''MIKE:''' So, that's the drawback of the flaming peasant— of burninating a peasant, is that he goes off the board, ''{mysteriously}'' into the void.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{nervously}'' Where's that?

'''MIKE:''' It's just over here somewhere, it's over here, off the board, ''{pushes the peasant away}'' off the camera view.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh man.

'''MIKE:''' Instead of going— when you devour a peasant, they go up here, but burninated peasants, they do some damage, but... they don't become health.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's okay, we get some good damage, I feel like.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Got some good damage, yeah. That was... that was good.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' ''{indicating health meter}'' Still got five guys in our... and, um... Okay, so that's...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' So now it's time for the bad guys to move again.

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''STRONG SAD:''' So flip that.

'''MIKE:''' So now we're gonna draw this card.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, and then we gotta spawn peasants first?

'''MIKE:''' Spawn peasants. Four peasants are there on the board— or, on the card.

'''STRONG SAD:''' So what does that mean?

'''MIKE:''' There's only one on the board.

'''STRONG SAD:''' So does that mean we have to bring three more peasants out?

'''MIKE:''' It does.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, and we got...

'''MIKE:''' 'cause we don't have any un-burninated pe— uh, un-burn— uh, ''burninated'' cottages, excuse me, so you gotta try to get up to this, uh, that number.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so, bring 'em out, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Ugh, this is rough, this is rough.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah. I'd knock 'em over like dominoes with my stubby fingers.

'''MIKE:''' One, two, three.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ouch!

'''MIKE:''' I've got four peasants on the board.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And now what do they do?

'''MIKE:''' And now, we're gonna explain a new thing. They're gonna move east, they're each gonna move east, but this says "Move & Repair".

'''STRONG SAD:''' 'Cause it's green and there's little plants on it!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's green and there's plants on it. So they're gonna move east, and if they move onto a tile that's burninated, they're gonna fix it.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{takes a knight}'' So, we're gonna start with this guy here...

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, that's a... that's a knight. That's not a peasant, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh, that's a knight, that's a knight, that's a knight, ''{takes a peasant}'' ''this'' is a peasant. He's gonna move east...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' Repairs...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh nooo!!

'''MIKE:''' We're gonna move this guy east...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh huh...

'''MIKE:''' That's not burninated, so he doesn't repair.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's good.

'''MIKE:''' And this guy moves to the lake.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, he's going for a swim.

'''MIKE:''' Yep. This guy moves back here, east.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh man!!

'''MIKE:''' And he fixes that. So we had two... man, that was a rough card.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That was... yeah, that's some rough peasant spawning.

'''MIKE:''' Three peasants spawned, and two of them repaired tiles. All right, let's see what happens with the knights.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I have a bad feeling.

'''MIKE:''' North, west...

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right, le— I'll call it out.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, you call it. I'm gonna start with this guy.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Mike moves the pieces accordingly}'' North, west, north, east, east.

'''MIKE:''' ''{sighs}'' Okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then the next one: North, west, north, east, east.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the archer: North, west, ''{Mike moves the archer onto the spot Trogdor occupies}'' So does that hurt us? He touched...

'''MIKE:''' Nope, archers are a— what do you call it, a ranged attack. So ranged attacks are ranged...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Okay, so, he's useless at close range!

'''MIKE:''' Useless at close range, exactly. That was west...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, north, east, east.

'''MIKE:''' ''{moves west on the first east command, then fixes his mistake}'' Wait wait, east, east, sorry. Okay, there. And then he shoots...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Arrowed!

'''MIKE:''' Arrowed! All that way, and we're not on that row, so we're safe.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{indicating the knights and peasants in the line of fire of the archers}'' And what, these guys just duck?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yes, they... exactly. They're short. Um... okay.

''{Six-Sadded, Die logo zooms in. Mike and Strong Sad continue to play in the background as the footage plays in fast-forward}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Okay, so those are the basics of gameplay for Trogdor!! the Board Game. Be sure and tune in to future Six-Sadded, Die episodes for some more in-depth looks at different gameplay elements. All in all, it's a great way to encourage my... weird obsession with my brother that mistreats me.

==Transcript==
''{Shot of a black surface; a six sided die lands with a blank face up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded— Oop.

''{Strong Sad picks the die up and rolls it again; the die lands on two}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six—

''{Strong Sad picks the die up and once again rolls; it lands on five}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded— ''{grunts in frustration}''

''{Strong Sad rolls the die again, landing on two and revealing that two of its faces have been modified}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six— ''{grunts in frustration}''

''{Strong Sad picks up the die and places it so the modified sides face the camera, revealing it to resemble his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded, ''{sound slows down as logo fades in}'' Die.

''{Fade to black. Cut to a top-down shot of Strong Sad's hands near a "Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d" board game.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rolling his R}'' Grrreetings, all you Six-Sadders out there, and welcome back to the Six-Sadded, Die. We've got a real treat for you today! And I'm ''not'' even talking about the ''game'' we're going to be playing! I'm talking about my special guest—

''{The camera pans over to Lucky Yates, sitting at the table in front of a castle-themed wall}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mr. Lucky Yates!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{waves at the camera}'' Hi. ''{to Strong Sad}'' Hi, Strong Sad.

''{Throughout the video, the camera pans down to the board when Strong Sad speaks, and up to Lucky when he speaks}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So, thanks for coming on the... the Six-Sadded, Die, Lucky, uh...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I'm... very excited about this one.

'''STRONG SAD:''' We should give everybody a little background, I suppose, uh... Lucky and I have sort of a standing date, we go thrifting together.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' We are thrift store friends.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's right, that's how we met.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' That's right, this is, uh... the— our first venture outside the world of thrifting together.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah, what do you think of my... my gaming dungeon I've constructed here, Lucky?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{looking around}'' Uh, I didn't realize that... kindergarten classes ''also'' had thrift stores.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, ''my'' kindergarten class was a ''real'' dungeon, I'll tell you that.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Ah ha haaa. Like... like for real, though?

''{The camera pans down sadly}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Oh.

''{Video cut}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why don't you tell 'em what we found at the thrift shop?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Oh man, I'm really excited about this one.

''{Video cut. The camera zooms into the title on the board.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d!

''{Cut to Lucky}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' So, uh, anyw— I don't re— all I remember is a commercial that I saw maybe ''twice''.

''{Cut to bad-quality footage of the game from the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game (video)|Trogdor!! The Board Game video]]. The Jurvy-Skat music from [[Family Resemblence]] plays.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Watch out! When Daddy's P.O.'d, the family fun ''never'' stops!

''{Cut back to the board game}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I remember... ''kind of'' things like all of this in the commercial!

''{Video cut. Lucky is pointing at the colored shapes.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{points at the green shape}'' I think these are grass... ''{points at the blue shape}'' and I think this is water...

''{Cut to a notepad and pencil in a box}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{points at the box}'' A notepad an— and pencils! Tiny pencils in there, and—

''{Cut to Lucky with the shapes}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{holding the red and gray shapes}'' Dirt? S— brick and steel? ''{confused stuttering}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The elements, it's an elemental game!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{holds up clear shape}'' Right, wind? Perhaps?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Okay...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I d— I don't know!

''{Video cut. Lucky is pointing at the dice.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I don't really remember there being four-sided die, but maybe there were. ''{video cut}'' I don't know. We'll figure it out.

''{Video cut. Strong Sad is pointing at the Sad Kids.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And who do you think these... speaking of urchins...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' These are clearly the children! ''{gestures to Daddy}'' This is Daddy... ''{video cut; drawing a trail in the air with his finger}'' And I remember, he ''moves''! He whizzes around the b— game board.

''{Strong Sad starts tapping Daddy's head}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Uh, yeah, I think we're supposed to tap—

'''STRONG SAD:''' Do it!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' We're supposed to tap his head... ''{taps Daddy's head}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Come on, Daddy! ''{video cut}'' So, uh, today we're just going to try and recreate the game without instructions, right, Lucky?

''{Cut to Lucky}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah, I'm really excited about this. And we— we'll piece it together, I'm— I'm confident.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Absolutely! Uh... all right, uh— you go first!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Oh! Uh... great! All right. Um...

''{Cut to the game board}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gestures to the Sad Kids}'' Who do you want to be, here?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{picks up the boy}'' I'll be, uh, I'll be the— the... ''{video cut}'' fellow in the 1930s hat. ''{video cut; places the boy at the beginning of the board}'' We'll start here, from the house...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, we'll start at the cookout...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' And then, maybe... we have to get to the lawnmower to do our chores, and then maybe ''back''? I don't know...

''{Video cut}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It definitely wouldn't P.O. him if we did our chores—

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah, that's what I'm assuming.

'''STRONG SAD:''' —so maybe that's our goal, yeah.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Get to do the chores, and don't make him angry in the meantimes. ''{video cut; he is rolling the dice}'' So, why don't we roll the two with the numbers on them.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{rolls}'' All right, I got a nine. Six and a three, so...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{moves the boy nine spaces}'' One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ''nine''...

''{Cut to Lucky}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right, hammock?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I'm touching Daddy's hammock—

'''STRONG SAD:''' Not bad...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' —sooo... I'll fffool— no...

'''STRONG SAD:''' No...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{picks up the blue die}'' I— ''{laughing}'' I will roll... I'm touching a Daddy possession, ''{rolls}'' I'll roll Daddy... uh oh.

''{Cut to a close-up of the dice. There is a symbol of a person moving, with an arrow.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That looks like Dad moves!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' This is Daddy moves...

''{Cut back to the game}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So, uh, where's he go? Maybe he goes ''to'' the hammock!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' We'll do the hammock! ''{moves him to the hammock}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' To the next thing, that makes sense! Now I'm ''really'' close to Daddy, I'm assuming I'm in trouble... ''{video cut; picks up an orange frame}'' I'll put a frame... I'll put a frame in— in the frame-holder, and then hold it up to Daddy. ''{places frame in front of Daddy}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! ''{holds his fingers up to Daddy like a camera}'' It's like a little... we're takin' a little, uh, portrait, there.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah. It's like, uh... cheeese!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Daddy!

''{Video cut}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{taps Daddy's head}'' Touch Daddy's head... and he doesn't even get angry... ''{trails off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{tapping Daddy's head}'' Come on, come on, maybe we gotta charge 'im up— we're priming him.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I don't know...

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's like the— before you start a lawnmower? You know, from the old days?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah, you gotta pump, ''{cut to Lucky}'' uh, pump gas into the car.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Exactly!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Uh, anyway, I don't— I don't think I— I P.O.'d Daddy, so I'm gonna ''{cut to the game}'' say it's your move. ''{passes the dice}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay! Uh, okay, we'll see... ''{picks up dice}'' here we go... ohhh... let's, uh, roll a sad six! ''{rolls}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Ooh, five and a six—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''Five'' and a six!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' That's eleven, ohh.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, here we go. ''{video cut; moving the girl}'' Nine, ten, eleven. ''{the girl lands near Daddy}'' So... I—

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Oh, you have to— ''{turns girl toward Daddy}'' you're confronting Daddy.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Ooh, maybe— is this where we need to write something?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I think this is perhaps where we need to pen a— a... a note to Daddy. ''{video cut}'' Perhaps a note of appreciation, would you like to, uh, would you like to dictate one to me?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, uh, okay. ''{Lucky starts writing}'' Dear... Daddy. ''{video cut}'' Just... wanted to... let you know... ''{video cut}'' that we like... how not P.O.'d you are.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Oh, excellent strategy. ''{video cut; rips the page from the notepad}'' And we'll do this... and then... ''{puts the note under Daddy}'' put it under Daddy.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay! ''{taps Daddy}'' Come on!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' He's not P.O.'d! He's—

'''STRONG SAD:''' When is he gonna go— I guess—

'''LUCKY YATES:''' —perhaps he's been appeased.

''{Cut to two white opaque cubes and two yellow translucent cubes on the barbecue}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What are these?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' It's time to put, uh, ''{picks up a white cube; cut to the board game}'' a marshmallow in Daddy's mouth. ''{drops the cube and misses}'' Whoop, wait, hold on. ''{puts it in Daddy's mouth}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Maybe— maybe ''those'' will get 'im... finally riled up. ''{Lucky taps Daddy}'' I just want to see that Daddy... ''{video cut}'' go on a ''rampage''!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{rolling the dice}'' Maybe he will, maybe he will. ''{video cut; rolls}'' Ooh, doubles!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's gotta do something!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Doubles, doubles, doubles, I rolled double 4.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Intriguing!

''{The board game commercial music plays}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Uh, something must have to happen here. ''{picks up a red shape; video cut}'' I'm gettin' stonewalled for rollin' doubles...

''{Video cut; Lucky places the wall next to Daddy, who is now near the barbecue}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Is that good or bad?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ...From the barbecue!

''{Cube wipe to the shapes}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think it's sandwich ingredients! ''{video cut}'' Let's go tomato...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{places a red shape on a stack of gray and orange next to the board}'' All right...

'''STRONG SAD:''' And lettuce...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{stacks a green shape on top}'' All right...

''{Video cut}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{points to the blue shape}'' Uh, the Hellmann's?

''{Cube wipe to the game. The Sad Kids are both on the hammock. Lucky rolls the dice.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' And roll! Four, and a ''five''!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Five! You—

'''LUCKY YATES:''' You win!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Double bounce! So I go ''{picks up the girl and bounces her five times}'' one, two, three, four, ''five''!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{picks up the boy and bounces him to the start}'' Ohhh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ohhh...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I got bounced back to the patio. ''{cut to the barbecue; picks up a yellow cube}'' Let's put a red-hot ''{cut to Daddy}'' coal in his mouth!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh ho!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{drops the dice and misses}'' Uh oh... ''{picks up the dice}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''That''<nowiki>'</nowiki>ll get him P.O.'d!

''{Video cut; Strong Sad is tapping Daddy}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Uh...

''{Cut to Lucky rolling the dice}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' This guy's got a high tolerance.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' He loves his children! ''{rolls}''

''{Cut to the game}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm afraid— I d— I don't wanna open the battery compartment!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I dunno...

'''STRONG SAD:''' For fear of exposing us to toxins!

''{Cut to Strong Sad rolling the dice}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you call that corrosive junk that forms on batteries from the '80s, Lucky?

''{Video cut}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah, I always just called it, uh, battery tears.

''{Cube wipe to later. Lucky is showing his dagger tattoo on his arm.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Hey, Daddy! Look, I got... a cool... skull dagger tattoo, maaaah!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ahh! He's underage! He shouldn't be getting a tattoo!

''{Cut to Lucky}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' I think it was pulled off the market because of these ''{cut to Daddy}'' gnarly chest hairs that he's got. That's just mean.

''{Sliding door wipe to the game. Strong Sad has a page in front of him.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' It's time to draw the daddy! ''{flips the sand timer}'' Go!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, okay. Uh... ''{starts drawing; the video speeds up}'' See, he's got the cro-magnon forehead there, giant lumpity eyes, got that big jaw, don't forget his stubble...

''{Video cut; the drawing is finished and the speed returns to normal}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' He's gonna be so P.O.'d!

''{Cut to Lucky, staring, unamused. The music stops abruptly.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...And they're called soolnds, and really it wouldn't be any different than a ''regular'' foot rub, if you're interested. ''{long pause}''

''{Cut to the game. The music continues.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{replaces the red "stone wall" with a green shape}'' And that gives you a lawn...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{unintelligible}'' I ''think'' that goes in front... ''{puts it in front of the lawnmower}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ...of the lawn, I'm no longer stonewalled from the barbecue, so that helps ''me'' out.

'''STRONG SAD:''' So, can you go ''back'' there and get some s'mores yourself? ''{starts tapping Daddy}''

''{Cut to Daddy}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Let's give him a s'more! ''{places a white cube in Daddy's mouth}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And... go!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{taps Daddy; cut to Lucky shaking his fists and smiling}'' YAAHHH! ''{pan down to reveal Daddy is spinning on the barbecue}'' He's stomping on his own food! That's how angry he is! Now ''nobody'' gets dinner!

''{Cut to the game}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh no!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Maybe it's 'cause we put all these things in his mouth.

''{Video cut; Daddy is spinning in the center of the board}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoaaa, Daddy tornado!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh no! ''{cut to Lucky}'' He's P.O.'d!

''{Cut to the game. Strong Sad taps Daddy, knocking him over onto the girl.}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{laughs}'' No!

''{The music stops. Cut to Lucky.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, Lucky, uh... what do you— what do you think? How close do you think we came to the real deal?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Uh... I don't know that we came ''close'' at all, but, uh, I think we certainly ''improved'' upon the game.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Absolutely! I don't think, uh— the game could— there's no way it was even ''half'' this good!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah!

''{Video cut}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' We got letter-writing, we got portraiture...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah, we got windows to souls, and sandwich building...

''{Video cut}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, hey, thanks for coming... thanks for coming to my gaming dungeon, Lucky Yates!

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah, well... some people would call it a... rec room, but you're welcome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'll, uh... I'll see you next week? At the thrift shop?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Yeah. Okay. Uh... ''{video cut}'' I'm gonna be late.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Okay. ''{cut to the game}'' Should I— I'll just go... go in, or wait for you outside?

''{Cut to Lucky}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' You can go in.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...Or if it's raining...?

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Uh, if it's raining, stay ''outside''.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. O— o— okay. Thank you, Mr. Yates.

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Oh d— aww, don't make it formal. Don't make me— don't make me leave feeling bad. Take it back.

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's okay...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Take back...

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, I don't take...

'''LUCKY YATES:''' Take back your sadditude.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's, uh, it's okay.

''{Video cut}''

'''LUCKY YATES:''' ''{points at the camera}'' This has been Six-Sadded, Die. ''{long pause; Strong Sad pokes his finger}'' Aw, I'm unpowered again!

''{The Six-Sadded, Die logo fades in}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Six-Sadded, ''{sound slows down}'' Die.

''{Fade to black}''

[[Strong Sad]] explains the rules of [[Trogdor Board Game|Trogdor!! The Board Game]] on his review show, with [[Mike Chapman]], for the [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game Kickstarter campaign].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Mike Chapman}}

'''Date:''' Tuesday, July 17, 2018

'''Running Time:''' 15:38

==Transcript==
''{Shot of a black surface; a six sided die lands with a blank face up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded— Oop.

''{Strong Sad picks the die up and rolls it again; the die lands on two}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six—

''{Strong Sad picks the die up and once again rolls; it lands on five}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-sadded— ''{grunts in fustration}''

''{Strong Sad rolls the die again, landing on two and revealing that two of its faces have been modified}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six— ''{grunts infustration}''

''{Strong Sad picks up the die and places it so the modified sides face the camera, revealing it to resemble his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Six-Sadded, ''{sound slows down as logo fades in}'' Die.

''{Fade to black and then fade into a top down shot of Strong Sad's hands setting up a game of Trogdor, sped up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Hello to all you Six-Sadders out there. Today we're going to be playing Trodgor!!, ''{Logo appears at the top of the screen as he says it}'' from Boardelectrix and my ''{extra emphasis}'' horrible brother. ''{logo fades out, Strong Sad resumes speaking normally}'' This is a co-operative puzzle-slash-area control-slash-area influence-type game for two to six players. Gameplay usually runs between 30 and 45 minutes and set-up should take you a lot less time than it did me, due to my stubby fingers. So as we always say, let's roll a sad six!

''{Six-Sadded Die logo fades in, as Strong Sad gestures his hands in front of the camera at normal speed}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in person}'' Greetings everyone, and welcome back to the Six-Sadded, Die.

''{logo fades out}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I am your host, Strong Sad, here today with human Mike—

'''MIKE:''' Hi!

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and we're going to play Trogdor!! The Board Game. So, we've already dealt each other our Keeper cards and our Enchanted Items— Mike, who did you get?

'''MIKE:''' I am Stonklar! Stonklar has wraparound movement, which allows Trogdor to move, um, if he was here and wanted to move West, he would jump over here, if he was here and wanted to move south he would jump up here. Normally Trogdor can't do that—unless you have this special power—but the knights, archers, and peasants all do that automatically, they have that wraparound.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, like a King's Quest game!

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay! And then what is your magical power?

'''MIKE:''' My item is Two Gross Beans, which just gives me two extra Action Points, um, and these item cards need to be recharged a-after they're used, so my recharge is, uh, when he visits one of the four forest tiles.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah! Okay, so then I got Galgabudge, and this Keeper can treat mountain tiles as if they were also tunnels. So, there are these tunnels which, uh, Trogdor can use to take a little shortcut, and then apparently there are hidden channels within the mountains, so he can use them, like, for subway stops, basically. Uh, and then I got— My item is the Ring of Voip, I can jump to any tile. Like a teleport, right?

'''MIKE:''' Okay, and how—

'''STRONG SAD:''' Voip!

'''MIKE:''' How do you recharge that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I recharge when a cottage or cottage space is burninated!

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so we got our three cottages and three cottage spaces, there.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so now what do we do first? We—we deal one another an action card from the Trog-deck.

'''MIKE:''' Here's your card...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, I got Smell the Daisies... What did you get?

'''MIKE:''' I got Sidewise. So these are our banked cards, and we'll just keep those ready...

'''STRONG SAD:''' So we just keep tho— All the time we have one banked card—

'''MIKE:''' You always have one banked card, and then every turn you'll draw a new one, and you choose between your banked card and the card you draw that turn.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And what is this number here on the card, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, AP, Action Points. So that card, if you play that you'll get four Action Points, which is a movement, or...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. Well then, uh, why don't you go first, and let's just start a turn!

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so I'll draw, here... Shotput, which, uh, says, "After all Trogdor's actions, you may burninate from 2 tiles away. Includes eligible cottages."

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. So then you—

'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's five Action Points, or I can use Sidewise, which is six Action Points. So I think at this stage in the game I'm gonna use Sidewise.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so six Action Points, and then you, uh, we play that.

'''MIKE:''' So, I'm gonna discard here and play that. So I have six Action Points. So, uh, why don't you tell them what the—my different options as far as actions are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, so an action can be: moving Trogdor one tile;, uh, he can burninate the tile he is currently on; if he's on a tile with a peasant, he can devour that peasant, and it will go into the Trog-meter, which is Trogdor's health, his health—he runs on peasants; uh, he can also burninate a peasant, which—you put the flame helmet on the peasant, and they will leave a path of destruction, but they don't go into your Trog-meter, so it's a risky move, but pretty fun to watch; he can also hide, if you have actions left at the end of your turn and you go to a mountain tile, you can hide there, and you'll be, uh, immune from damage, ''immune'' from damage.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, just to recap, an action can be: Trogdor moves one tile, North, South, East or West; Trogdor can devour a peasant on the tile he occupies; Trogdor can ''burninate'' a peasant on the tile he occupies; oh, and one I forgot, Trogdor can burninate an eligible cottage on the title he occupies. More on eligible cottages later; and last, Trogdor can hide on a mountain tile, if he has at least one action left.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, what am I missing, what else can Trogdor do?

'''MIKE:''' Okay, well, so, movement, we gotta make sure— So, movement— Uh, Trogdor can only move—uh—North, South, East, West normally, he can't move diagonally, um, unless you have a special power, there are special diagonal powers, but— So, I got five, um, first—

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're playing the one with six!

'''MIKE:''' —six! Six! Six action points. So, I'm gonna start by burninating this tile! And we're on.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's one—one action...

'''MIKE:''' One action... So look at that.

'''STRONG SAD:''' You flip it to show the burnination.

'''MIKE:''' Burnination. Um, and we're gonna start, I'm gonna start heading, uh, working on burninating this cottage, and in order to do that, we have to burninate all the surrounding tiles and the tile it's on ''first'', before we can burninate the cottage. So I'm just going to start working on these nine tiles here. Alright?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Let's do it!

'''MIKE:''' So that was one, two, move here, three, burninate here...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I like that lonely tree. Very desolate.

'''MIKE:''' Four, move here, five, burninate... and then I have one action which burninates an adjacent tile, so that would be this one, then. So, with my sixth action I'll just burninate this one.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa, look at the destruction on that forest tile.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um, so, that's the end of Trogdor's movements, so now the next part of my turn is for the countryside to move.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, it's the bad guys' turn!

'''MIKE:''' The bad guys. The knights, two knights, and the peasants will move, and the archers. So first, we'll draw a card here...

'''STRONG SAD:''' What does it say?

'''MIKE:''' Peasants: so first, we're going to respawn peasants, if necessary, or if—um, we're going to look at this number here, three peasants, and we have three peasants on the board. So that means no new peasants are generated.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's great!

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Where would those peasants come from if they were generated?

'''MIKE:''' They would come from the Trog-meter up here, which is basically the health, so you don't want that to happen, and they would be generated at any un-burninated cottage.

'''STRONG SAD:'''

'''MIKE:'''

'''Page Title:''' Dress em' up Dan!

==Transcript==
''{As usual, the toon starts in the basement of the Brothers Strong; the light dims and the projector screen comes down. The first image displayed is a bald man wearing make up to resembles Strong Bad's mask. Two keyboards can be seen behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in the tune of [[The System is down (song)|The System is Down]]. Every time he says "bald", the image is mirrored.}'' The system is bald! The system is bald! The system is bald! Bald, bald, bald, bald! ''{The image is covered with some rave effects and the image randomly reversed or flipped upside down.}'' DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE!

{The next image shows a guy in a The Cheat hoodie kneeling down. A glow stick appears and spins in front of him.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes singing and mimics a techno beat mimics.}'' Doom doom doom doom. The system is bald! ''{The picture of the guy in the Strong Bad makeup appears again. The image then spins around.}'' Dah dah doh-la dah dah!

''{The next image shows up with the same man as before, holding a glass next to a man dressed as Ned Flanders. A little piano ditty plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing to a different tune.}'' Now go have a Cold One with Ned Flanders!

''{The next frame shows a giant Homestar costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Impressive Homestar costume! I see you made him with his rectangle mouth, which I like to call 'Cartridge Mouth Homestar'! I'm always just tempted to shove a VHS tape ''{as Strong Bad lists the examples, the item gets inserted and pressed down into Homestar's mouth}'' or a dusty old musty Game Pak right in there!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I found that SHMUPs taste best! You know, like Xeliogravius... IV? ''{the box for Videlectrix game Xeliogravius IV drops down, showing a ship fighting a green alien. On it is a caption that says "Not a total rip-off!"}'' It's a good game.

''{The next slide shows a man dressed up as Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, there's actually some pretty good ''{the next slide shows another person dressed as the aforementioned character}'' looking Coach Z costumes this year! You guys have really— ''{the next slide appears}'' Oh, the pain! ''{the next slide appears}'' Oh, the mercy! All right, you guys! I'm calling it! I don't want to see anybody wearing these skin tight green jobs next year!

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, you asked for it! ''{Coach Z hums to himself as some rustling can be heard, accompanied by squishing noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! I was talking about the fans! And what did I tell you about humming those saucy "getting undressed" songs?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' INA-PRO-PRO!

''{The "INA-PRO-PRO" stamp is slammed onto the screen, accompanied with a buzzer noise. The next image shows a man dressed up as Senor Cardgage holding a bag. The "INA-PRO-PRO" stamp is slammed onto the image again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh my dear yes! ''{The "INA-PRO-PRO" stamp fades away.}'' Gonna have to get analogous on this one.

''{An analysis sheet is pulled up. The top is written "ANALOGY WORKSHEET - Unit 1 - Cardgage" with the bottom written "this guy: cardgage:: cardgage: strong bad". A sketch of the person wearing the costume appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This guy's costume is to ''{a sketch of Senor Cardgage appears}'' Cardgage, as Cardgage ''{the aforementioned sketch appears, but mirrored}'' is to ''{a sketch of Strong Bad appears}'' Strong Bad. ''{The sheet moves out of view.}'' He's like a Cardgage among Cardgages. He's like Cardgage squared! Aww, and look! ''{zooms in on the bag of a take out bag of Chick-fil-A lying on the ground}'' Somebody finally took him to ''{imitates Cardgage}'' Chick-fil-A.

''{The next image shows a guy dressed as D n'D Greg and a woman dressed as What's Her Face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's a dead-on D n'D Greg and What's Her Face, and your wall even dressed up as D n'D Greg's front hallway!

''{Speech bubbles for D n'D Greg and What's Her Face appear}''

'''D N'D GREG:''' The KROKUS banner on my front porch drew her near... and this Slayer poster in my hallway won her heart.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Uhh... I like pavement.

{The next image shows another giant Homestar costume standing in front of a closed door.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' B-WHOA-HO-HO! If I came out the bathroom and saw that thing standing in the hallway, I'd call in the SWAT flamethrower strike team. ''{Mimics a caller.}'' Uh, yes, officer, there's a seven-foot-tall Homestar Runner with saggy ankles standing in my s-st-stounch! ''{laughs over his next few lines}'' That's what we call the area between the bathroom and the laundry room. The stounch. Come and get him. In my stounch.

''{The next slide scrolls down with "Pree-ow" playing. A guy has The Paper taped on his face and is standing behind a computer monitor with a Tandy 400 background reading "a> Pretend this computer is 30 years old." The next slide shows a guy dressed as David Byrne and a woman dressed as The Log Lady. They are sitting on a table with candles and a picture of a plant on it, while the guy holds his hands up and his eyes closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So wait, you didn't actually dress up as Strong Sad or Marzipan, you dressed up as the ''{a still showing Strong Sad and Marzipan from [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] appear on the bottom right}'' people they dressed up as one time, and then painstakingly ''{the images move up to the slide, scales to match the propositions and becomes translucent}'' recreated the scene in which they appeared. Well, that sounds exactly like the kinda nerdy thing those two losers would be into anyways. ''{The comparison fades away.}'' So good job.

''{The next slide shows a person dressed up as motion-capture Strong Bad from [[Sample of Style Too]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing like dressing up as an obscure Internet cartoon's even more obscure DVD bonus feature. ''{An image of motion-capture Strong Bad appears on the left side.}'' Mo-Cap Strong Bad, more like "Mowed-Down Strong Bad"! ''{Bubs's baloney truck runs into the picture of Mo-Cap Strong Bad and knocks it out of view.}'' 'Cause it's a very— there's a lot of black in the costume. Might be hard to see.

''{The next slide shows a guy wearing a giant light brown pillow over his head, making it resemble a bean. He's sitting on a chair with a travel case next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Finally, Large Bean's getting the respect he deserves!

''{The next frame shows the same character with a cardboard bean on the person's face. The background is dark and blurred.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! No fair blurring out the rest of your living room! How am I supposed to make fun of your family's terrible taste in decor?

''{The next frame shows a boy in a Homsar costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AaAaAaAaA! I'm a tall kitty in a pumpkin bag! ''{zooms in the kitty dressed decor in the background.}'' Or, ''{zooms back out}'' don't froth up, ''{zooms in on the unplugged appliance in the background}'' I unplugged the papasan! Man! Middle America's houses ''{zooms back out}'' are rife with Homsar quotes!

''{The next frame shows a guy dressed as Old-Timey Strong Bad sitting on the steps next to a sign. The image is in a sepia tone.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, feast your depression-era eyes on Strong Bad's Flavor Taste ''{zooms in on the sign}'' Tricks and Treats! {A logo of a spoon holding a white powder slide in from the top right} A spoonful of bakinged soda one could mistake for sugar and some molasses {a bottle of molasses slides in the bottom left with a dead goat on it. On it has the words "premulum" on it} bequeathed to me by a goat, upon its untimely demise! ''{zooms back out}'' Strong Bad is your number one candym'n!

''{The next frame shows someone wearing a Coach Z costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys.

''{The next frame shows someone wearing a Senor Cardgage costume with some animals strapped on his knees, with a similar background and image quality.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys!

''{The next frame shows both images, with Senor Cardgage on the left and Coach Z on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys!! These are good costumes. These are ''great'' costumes! But why, in the year of our King of Town 2017, when everyone has a 12-jillion gregapixel camera in their pocket, ''{close-up of the Senor Cardgage costume's mask}'' do you send me pictures that look like they were taken on your... ''{a pink flip-phone with "Sweet Digits" written on it slides to the center of the screen}'' grandma's candy flip-phone that you don't have the heart to tell her ''{the phone opens, revealing a cartoony winking face on the screen, and a hole filled with colored balls below the buttons, with some spilling out of the phone.}'' it's not a real phone?! ''{grandma voice}'' But I had ''such'' good conversations with Little Protelzo! ''{normal voice}'' That's her— that's her grandson. Little Protelzo.

''{The next frame shows one person dressed as il Cartographer, with a flag and map to the restroom, and a person dressed as Gardenboy beside him, with a rake and watering can, and a Kick The Cheat toy designed to look like Mr. Cheatayama, all against a wall with some sheets taped to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, this costume thing is not a contest. But you guys... win the costume contest! ''{an instrumental version of the il Cartographer theme plays as an image of il Cartographer, Gardenboy, and Mr. Cheatayama in the wrestling ring appears in the corner, with the character in the same positions as the costumes}'' It's all here! Il Cartographer's ''{close-up of the il Cartographer costume's mask}'' floppy hat! ''{close-up of the flag}'' And flag! ''{close-up of his map to the restroom}'' And maps to the restroom! The insidious ''{close-up of Mr. Cheatayama}'' Mr. Cheatayama with his trademark whisk! ''{cut to the entire picture; the image in the corner disappears}'' And you even took the picture in front of a depressing basement wall with some sheets taped to it! That was an actual venue we used to wrestle in! ''{the music stops}'' That's where il Cartographer finally won... ''{A wrestling belt, with a gold waffle design in the middle, zooms in from the center of the screen. There is a carton, melting butter, and a muffin on the waffle design, with the words "Continental Breakfast Champion" written at the top and bottom. The AWMPSCE logo is on both of the sides. The music continues.}'' the Continental Breakfast title belt!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He won the title match!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He took-a no crap!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's gonna draw another map!

''{A brown map flies in from the left side of the screen to the middle. There is a compass pointing north in the bottom-left corner. There is a road that goes past Carrot and Kazoo Hill (labeled "CK Hill") and The Stick (unlabeled) to an X near Bubs' Concession Stand, with an arrow pointing to it, with red text reading "here be savings". There is a Yello Dello (labeled "yello-dello") just past the stand. In the bottom right-corner, there is a Bubs head wearing a hat.}''

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' He's the il Cartographer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I claim-a this belt in the name of Bubsmfort Inn & Suites! Home of the free continental breakfast! ''{quickly, quietly}'' Located just past Carrot-Kazoo Hill, one mile south of the Yello Dello.

'''BUBS:''' ''{a speech bubble appears from the Bubs head on the map, as Bubs reads it:}'' Make yourself Bubsmfortable!

''{Strong Bad types "strongbad_email.wad" and presses enter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: none</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Do you have a secret Identity? cause you know that 
would be the kinda rockin' cool thing you'd have. 
Chris 
Laramie, Wy 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "Wy" as "why" in a soft high-pitched voice.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Chris, let me be frank. The term "rockin' cool" is so uncool it makes my face hurt.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now all the "rockin' cool"s are off the screen,

''{He shrieks as he realizes what he's typed, and clears the screen again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're gone. Those things are vicious. Anyway Frank, I believe your question was about my secret identity. Well, let me ask you this: have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I in the same place at the same time?

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room. The Poopsmith is standing behind Strong Bad and to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dun dun DUUUNH! That's right! It is I who dons the crappy orange gloves and shovels—

''{The Poopsmith jabs Strong Bad a couple of times with his shovel. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?! What are you ''doing'' here? ''{shakes his fist a little as he talks}'' You ruined my scam, man! I was gonna have all of everyone believing that '''I''' was you and that the steaming pile of whatsit was really a smoldering pile of money covered in whatsit. How'd you get in here anyways?

''{Homestar Runner approaches from the left side of the computer, holding a hamburger.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I let him in. ''{to The Poopsmith}'' Here you go. ''{hands him the hamburger}'' Oh, ''{turns to Strong Bad}'' and you're out of mayo.

''{Homestar and The Poopsmith exit toward the left. Strong Bad turns and addresses the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is there like a sign on my door that says ''{makes a sweeping gesture}'' "Wanted: Everyone I hate. Inquire within."?

''{The King of Town approaches from the right side of the computer.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I didn't see one.

''{Strong Bad utters some frustrated gibberish and turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith. But I got lots of secret identities. Lately, I've been using this one: Tip Tappers: Expensive Briefcase Carrier. I use Mr. Tappers when I'm on tour and I want to check into a hotel and not be bothered by legions of fans.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, now labeled Bubs' Motor Lodge, at night. On the sign is a neon caricature of Bubs's head with three neon Z's next to it, each of which light up in cascading fashon. Bubs is wearing a nametag and Strong Bad has with him a briefcase. A sign-in book is on the counter.}''

'''BUBS:''' And what name will this room be under?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Tip Tappers, please. Unless some girl asks what room Strong Bad's in. And she's at least a seven out of ten. Or uh... ''{thinks}'' six if she's naked.

'''BUBS:''' That'll be nine hundred dollars Mr. ''{clears his throat loudly}'' Tappers.

''{Homestar emerges from behind the building, carrying an empty ice bucket, wearing his cinnamon beard, and dressed in a robe, a gold shirt that reads "I &hearts; Toxic Waste", and pink bunny slippers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there an ice machine around here?

'''BUBS:''' Certainly, Mr. Dee Williams.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's Vance Mudgeman. I use that identity when I drop in on my secret second family over in Broiter Grove. Ahh, those kids love Daddy Mudgeman.

''{Cut to the trailer home. Strong Bad is sitting in a green armchair watching TV. He is wearing a grease-stained A-shirt and has a couple of days' growth of beard stubble on his face. Kids' laughter can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to someone off screen}'' You get back here with that remote, Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. I'm not afraid to smack— ''{holds up his glove menacingly}''

''{Cut abruptly back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yes, well, you gotta be firm. ''{clears his throat}'' And then of course there's the secret identity I use to write my advice column for a popular women's magazine.

''{An issue of ''Scarfgirl'' magazine appears from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Using the pseudoname Cara Carabowditbowdit, I'm slowly but surely making the girls of the world cooler for all us dudes.

''{Cut to the smoky office. Strong Bad sits at an old typewriter, wearing a brown wig with a skull and bone on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Dear Buttless in Bedstuy, Sounds like YOU need to play more video games, galpal. And not those girly ones where you pretend to be a dog or a frog neither. I'm talkin' about the explodey ones. The kind that make you dizzy when you play 'em. Then maybe your guy will stop talking about his ex. Eat a Steak, Cara Carabowditbowdit. ''{He finishes by typing "XOXOXO".}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan and Homestar are sitting together on her couch, and Marzipan is reading ''Scarfgirl''.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' This lady doesn't know what she's talking about. And I don't like her pseudoname.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, you're just jealous 'cause she gets all the hot boys.

''{A crumpled ball of paper flies in from off screen and hits Homestar in the face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, mail's here.

''{He reaches down and picks it up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's it say?

''{Homestar uncrumples it and reads the following. Strong Bad has scribbled over his own name.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "No i don't. Strong Bad." I mean, "Cara Carabowditbowdit."

'''MARZIPAN:''' See, I told you.

''{Homestar opens his mouth, cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see? Secret identities aren't just for superheroes and Garth Brooks anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have several butts to jettison from my home.

''{He gets up and goes off to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws Homestar}''

''{Homestar flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for having me overrrrr!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws the King.}''

''{The King, too, flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Worst mayonnaise party everrrr!

''{The Poopsmith walks across while being prodded all the while by Strong Bad using a fondue fork.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out.

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Sb and poopsmith.PNG|thumb|The Poopbad or The Strongsmith?]]
*After Strong Bad says "Laramie, Why?", click on the phrase to get a book of the same name, written by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly]] and [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*After Strong Bad types "So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith," click on "The Poopsmith" to see a picture that is a cross between The Poopsmith and Strong Bad, with Strong Bad's head and feet, The Poopsmith's mouth and body, and a mix of Strong Bad's and The Poopsmith's gloves.
*While Strong Bad is checking in to Bubs' Motor Lodge, click on the reservations book to see it up close.
*Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see a scene with Marzipan, Homestar, and Strong Sad.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe I should get me one of them pseudonames.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{hyperactive, leans in from the left side of the screen}'' It's "-nym"! It's "-nym"! It's pseudo''nym''! Not pseudo''name''! I can't take it anymore! Nym nym nym! It's a Greek word for "name"! Pseudo''nym''! Pseudo''nym''! ''{leans back out}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Bedstuy is short for [[Wikipedia:Bedford-Stuyvesant|Bedford-Stuyvesant]], a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
*A [[Wikipedia:Daemon (computer software)|daemon]], sometimes called a service, is a background process that serves an important function in a computer system. Common uses for daemons include such things as sending email or running [[Wikipedia:Web server|web]] and [[Wikipedia:File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] servers.
**The word "daemon" can be correctly pronounced "DEE-mon" (just like "demon"), or "DAY-mon", similar to how Strong Bad pronounces it in this email.
*"Pseudoname" is a common misspelling of "[[Wikipedia:pseudonym|pseudonym]]", a fictitious name used as an alternative to one's legal name. As Strong Sad suggests, "pseudonym" is derived from the Greek word for name, ὄνυμα ''onyma'', which gives rise to the combining form ''-onym'' in English.
*A cowboy is featured on the cover of "Laramie, Why?" because [[Wikipedia:Laramie, Wyoming|Laramie]] is a popular setting for [[Wikipedia:westerns|westerns]]. The book cover may also refer to Laramie Cigarette advertisements, which often feature a simple red/white border color scheme with an image of a cowboy in a relaxed pose.

===Trivia===
*Bubs's marquee reads:
<blockquote>BUBS' MOTOR 
LODGE 
FORMERLY BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND </blockquote>

*Bubs's nametag reads:
<blockquote>My Name 
BUBS</blockquote>

*Marzipan's [[Periodicals|issue]] of [[Scarfgirl]] reads:
<blockquote>Scarfgirl 
fashion AND environment stuff     feb. 
 
is politics bad? 
[[HYBRID CARS]]!! 
CELEB SHOCKERS! 
A PURSE!</blockquote>

:*The woman on the cover is [[Jackie Chapman]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad was added several hours after the initial release of the toon.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#sam and max|sam and max]]".

===Bubs' Motor Lodge Registry===

*Bubs' Motor Lodge Registry reads:
<pre>
one double - mr. allan poe
PAID! queen suite - ms. cousteau
one king - mr. boyardee PAID!
PAID! smelly cot - mr. five freddy
posh suite - mr. chamberlain DISCO TAPE!
COMPED! one racecar bed - mr. dee williams
one grill - mr. tesmacher PAID TWICE!
PENCIL SHAVINGS!
</pre>

For the identities of the people in Bubs's Sign-In Book, see [[Secret Identities#Other Characters|Secret Identities]].

===Remarks===
*The sound when the Poopsmith is poking Strong Bad with his shovel and when Strong Bad is poking the Poopsmith to make him leave is the "Droplet" error sound from the old [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].
*Strong Bad and The Poopsmith have actually appeared together several times in the past, most notably in [[big white face]], [[haircut]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and at the end of most [[Holidays|Holiday Toons]].
**Also, during the [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|audio commentary]] for [[The King of Town DVD]], Strong Bad comments negatively on the Poopsmith.
*If he is to be believed, then Strong Bad is apparently the only main character to have offspring, his second family as Vance Mudgeman. The only other main characters who may possibly have had kids are the King of Town (who originally would have been Marzipan's father) and Coach Z (who implied that he was a mother in [[garage sale]]). However, given Strong Bad's propensity for scams and cons, it's entirely possible that the Mudgeman children are not actually his.
*If the Mudgeman trailer is the trailer in [[portrait]], then the setting has apparently changed since then. In that email, there was a portrait of Strong Bad to the left of the "Born to be Danged" poster, and the moose lamp at the right was originally on the left, and was broken.
**Also, the moose lamp was slightly taller in [[portrait]].
*In the Easter egg at the end, Homestar states that he would like a pseudonym, even though earlier in the toon, Bubs refers to him as Mr. Dee Williams, implying that he has already been using one.
*When Strong Bad is opening his email, he opens it as a .wad instead of a .exe.
*Strong Bad's typewriter only makes a carriage return sound once every three lines, even when typing the header and signature.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad commits a common grammatical error by asking "Have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I...?" Because it is in the predicate of the sentence, the phrase should be "The Poopsmith and me." In simpler terms, the sentence should make sense by itself when either "the Poopsmith" or "me" is omitted. 
*In the Easter egg when Strong Sad says "it's pseudonym", there is a dot by his lip.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first released, the name in Bubs's register that reads "mr. allan poe" was incorrectly spelled as "mr. allen poe", a common misspelling of the name of American author [[Edgar Allan Poe]]. This was corrected later in the day.

===Inside References===
*The book title "Laramie, Why?" is a reference to the similar title "Eww, Claire!! Why???" from [[origins]], which was also written by Beverly Sportsinterviews.
*The room in which Vance Mudgeman is sitting (with the moose lamp and "Born to be Danged" poster) is in a double-wide trailer, first seen in the email [[portrait]]. The moose lamp is probably a reference to Homestar's "moose lamp" in the same email.
*"BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND" is a reference to [[geddup noise]].
*Strong Bad prods the Poopsmith with a fondue fork to encourage him to leave. Homestar has borrowed [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue set]] at least twice.
*Bubs's name tag is a reference to [[Puppets on the Road]], where [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] says, "My name Shark-Tooth Bubs."
*Bubs accepted pencil shavings as legal tender in [[lackey]], as he does here, as evidenced by his guestbook.
*Homestar's [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|bathrobe and slippers]] were introduced in [[caper]], as was his [[cinnamon]] beard.
*Strong Bad mentions that his secret family lives in Broiter Grove, a town also found on the back of the discontinued [[Limozeen]] concert T-shirt.
*''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]'' is playing on the TV in the Mudgeman home.
*This email contains an instance of [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]].
*This is another reference to [[steak]].

===Real-World References===
*"strongbad_email.wad" and "Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon" are both homages to [[Doom]].
*The mention of [[Wikipedia:Garth Brooks|Garth Brooks]] is a reference to his 1999 rock & roll alter-ego, [[Wikipedia:Chris Gaines|Chris Gaines]], which he assumed for a movie deal that fell through.
*Homestar's ''[http://www.founditemclothing.com/t-shirts/toxic.html I ♥ Toxic Waste]'' shirt and pink bunny slippers are references to the movie [[Wikipedia:Real Genius|Real Genius]].
*The name Jeffrey Beffrey could be a literary nod to the Goose from [[Wikipedia:Charlotte's Web|Charlotte's Web]] by E. B. White. The Goose called her son "Jeffrey-Effrey" in her unique rhyming speech.
* The name Tip Tappers may refer to [[Wikipedia:Tip Tipping|Tip Tipping]], a 1980s stuntman who acted in many famous productions, including [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]] and [[Indiana Jones]].



*Buttless in Bedstuy is a reference to the convention of signing letters to advice columns as "(adjective) in (location)", and may be a direct reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Sleepless in Seattle|Sleepless in Seattle]]''.

===Fast Forward===
* Strong Bad's Cara Carabowditbowdit wig is a costume item in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

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

('''Commentary by:''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' This time it's me! This time it's me! This time it's me! This time it's me!

'''MIKE:''' Great!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That was ''my'' Strong Bad Email intro song. It's called, "This Time It's You".

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' In parentheses: "(This Time It's Me)"

'''MIKE:''' Homestar, settle down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' This email talks about secret identities. Now, do you have any secret identities?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, ye — no — s! ''{finishes with a hissing 's' sound, as though the word "no" interrupted the word "yes"}''

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You see, I interrupted my "yes" with a "no" in the middle.

'''MIKE:''' Y-E, dot, dot, dot. Yeah, okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Okay, "rockin' cool". So, now let's talk about "rockin' cool".

'''MIKE:''' Uh, "rockin' cool"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, why would he try and convince people that he's The Poopsmith — the poop digger?

'''MIKE:''' The poop digger?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What kind of scam?

'''MIKE:''' Um, he was gonna make millions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How was he...

'''MIKE:''' ''{talking over Homestar}'' It was a pyramid scheme, I think.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhh.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking over Mike}'' I get — I get into those all the time!

'''MIKE:''' It's like, you get people to think that ''you're'' The Poopsmith, and then once they believe it they get other people to believe that ''they're'' The Poopsmith.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking over Mike, Mike becomes untillegible}'' Ooh! Look at that sandwich I made The Poopsmith! I think it was — I think I made him a McRib. ''{pause}'' You know, I — I should probably stop making copies of his keys, from Strong Bad's house and giving 'em out at parties.

'''MIKE:''' Where'd you get the first one?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I think I made it from soaps.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I fashioned it out of soaps.

'''MIKE:''' And then you were able to make copies out of it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Wow!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! Soap —

'''MIKE:''' Soap key copiers?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. I wish Bubs' had that sign again. I remember coming home from trips, you know, like, you'd be out on the road —

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' — and then you'd pass by Bubs' Motor Lodge and that little sleepy Bubs would be zzz-ing ''{pronounced zeezing}'' at you.

'''MIKE:''' Look who it is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

'''MIKE:''' What's your shirt say?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love toxic waste.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's like, Chris Knight's from Real Genius.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I always sign in my alias as Mr. D. Williams. ''{pause}'' Who are those kids? Do you hear those kids?

'''MIKE:''' I do. That's Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. ''{laughs as he says the name}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That kid needs to shut his mouth! Jeffrey already knows his ABCs. Hit the deck! ''{pause}'' Hey, that — I know that lady!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' You do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Who is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't know.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Some lady. ''{pause}'' Um, so, let's talk about scarfgirls, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, "Scarfgirls" has made a resurgence in the last few years.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's seems like they used to just live in Athens, Georgia.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Now they live everywhere.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now they're all over the place. They wear large scarves, they like to knit.

'''MIKE:''' They knit, and —

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They're pretty eco-conscious.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They probably have their own business. At least their own blog!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is Marzipan a scarfgirl?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, she's kind of a hybrid.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' She's kind of got some scarfgirl elements, but —

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, she's got, like, part of gasoline and part electric. More. ''{pause}'' Yeah, I remember getting that mail! It was weird! It was the one day the mailman mailed mail by throwing paper balls at me. He never does that no more.

'''MIKE:''' No?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who is the mailman in our town, anyways?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I'm gonna guess — Coach Z?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You think so?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe so. Ooh, jettison! The Jettisons. I love that cartoon. ''{pause}'' Do you like Sam & Max?

'''MIKE:''' I do. I like mayonnaise parties, too.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have to go to the bathroom.

'''MIKE:''' I don't like mayonnaise anymore after I got some fried shrimp covered in mayonnaise at a Thai restaurant.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ewww.

A Homestar Runner Cartoon

"The House That Gave Sucky Treats"

Voices by Matt Chapman & Missy Palmer

Written, Directed and Animated by Los Brothers Chaps

''{Homestar's head pops up slowly, then lightning flashes and thunder cracks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. This year, we're going to do things a little differently. ''{scary voice, eyes slanted menacingly}'' We're all coming to your house to trick or treeeeat! ''{normal face and voice}'' So just answer the door, pick a treat, and drag it on top of us. We'll do the rest. ''{Pause}'' Okay, bye!

=== Coach Z ===
''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:''{rapping}'' Doot-doo-doot-doo, an' I'll drink up all the Hennessy ya got on your shelf, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Z. Pronounced with an "oach Z."

====Jujyfruits====
:Ooh, Jorjyfruits! Oh, I mean Jerjyfrorts. I mean, ''{straining}'' GEORGIE FRORGIE! ''{pause}'' George Foreman?

====Boston Baked Beans====
:Ya know, I once knew a fellow in Boston 'could tell ya the time of the day at any time of the day. Ya'd say, "Say there Boston, what's the time of day?" And he'd say, "10:30." And you'd look at him and say, "But Boston, it's half past noon!" And he'd look back at ya and say, "Well, those are the breaks."

====Cherry Clan====
:Da Cherry Clan. Are they related to the Wu-Tang Clan? 'Cause ya know, their first album was the ''BAERMB''! In fact, you don't have a copy of "The 36 Chambers" in there, do ya? 'Cause I'd love to listen to it right now! Ya mind if I come in?

=== The King Of Town ===
''{Rings the doorbell instead of knocking.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I'm horrible! ''{Strong Bad pokes his head out from the right of the screen and says, "You got that right." The Hornblower rides by on a stone wheel. The Knight is standing on the lawn.}''

====Butterscotch====
:Ooh, butterscotch! Would you mind melting those down and pouring them over a ham? ''{pulls out a [[ham]]}''

====Fun size Butterfinger====
:That's it?! Well, if you think that I'll accept this paltry treat just because it has "butter" in the name... well, you'd be right! Give it here!

====Stick of Butter====
:Ooh, a stick of butter! ''{noisily scarfs the stick of butter} {still with butter in his mouth}'' Trick or treat... Again? Please??

=== Strong Mad and The Cheat ===
''{Bangs on door, creating yellow bursts.}''

====Intro====
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''
:'''STRONG MAD:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING?

====Rock Candy====
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{staring at it, puzzled.}'' HALLOWEEN!

====Pop Rocks====
:''{The Cheat eats the Pop Rocks}''
:'''STRONG MAD:''' NO. NO! NOOO!!
:''{The Cheat takes a drink of cola}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{squealing The Cheat noises, head explodes}''

====Rocks====
:''{Strong Mad eats the rocks, then bites off half of a can of cola. The Cheat's head inexplicably explodes.}''

=== Marzipan ===
''{Also rings the doorbell.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Hey, ho! Let's go! Hey, ho! Trick or treat!

====Candy Corn====
:''Candy'' corn?? Do you have any real corn? Or Indian corn?

====Rice Cakes====
:Hey, rice cakes! I like to eat them without water.

====Steak====
:Is this a joke? It's not funny. ''{Strong Bad, uncostumed, drops three more steaks into her bag with a grin on his face}''

=== The Poopsmith and Pom Pom ===
''{Knocks rapidly and softly.}''

{''They don't have an intro, as neither can really speak.''}

====Mary Jane====
:''{They look at each other, then The Poopsmith holds up a sign that says "Give us something good instead". Pom Pom laughs.}''

====Chick-O-Stick====
:''{The Poopsmith dunks it in a bucket labeled "dippin stuff", which looks suspiciously like [[whatsit]]. He offers it to Pom Pom, who shakes his head "no".}''

====Astropop====
:''{The Poopsmith shoots his gun at Pom Pom so it reflects off Pom Pom's "I ♥ Flint" button and his microphone and hits himself in the chest sensor. He falls off the side of the steps.}''

====Pumpkin====
:''{The "secret" music from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Zelda]] video game series plays. The pumpkin is firmly lodged in The Poopsmith's mouth. When the door closes, a pixelated caption reads "YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CHARACTER!"}''

=== Homsar ===
''{Knocks "[[Wikipedia:Shave and a Haircut|Shave and a Haircut]]".}''

''{This is an Easter egg, only accessible if you give The Poopsmith or Pom Pom the pumpkin.}''

====Intro====
:I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!

====Shavin' Creem====
:YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!

====Black and Orange Taffy====
:''{singing}'' If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit...

====Wrench====
:Oh no! I think this is my favorite.

=== Strong Bad ===
''{Instead of knocking or ringing, Strong Bad yells, "Open the freakin' door!"}''

====Intro====
:Where in the world is my candy?

====Fun Size Butterfinger====
:Oh, a "fun size" candy bar? Tell me this: what's fun about eating less candy? Maybe if you gave me an entire bag of them it would be fun. The only fun I'm going to have with this thing is smearing it all over your door when I leave. ''{If you choose this, the door is smeared with the Butterfinger when Strong Sad shows up.}''

====Marshmallow Bunny====
:Why you lazy crap for crap! All you've got is old freakin' Easter candy? This thing's rock hard, man! Well, you just made it onto my "People I gotta egg today" list. ''{He shows you the list:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#FFFF99;color:#000;width:25%">
People to egg 
(in no particular order) 
 
ronnie pudding 
 
king of town 
 
kewpie dan 
 
homestar 
 
you lazy crap for crap
</blockquote>

====Apple====
:What is ''this'' crap?!? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of ''hippie dentist''?

=== Strong Sad ===
''{Knocks softly.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I guess.

====Necco candy wafers====
:Oh, Necco Wafers. These remind me of when I used to eat the colored chalk when I was in school. I was sick for a year and nearly died...

====Baking Chocolate====
:''{a bit surprised and bounces slightly}'' Oh! Baking Chocolate! I used to eat this stuff when there was no chocolate in the house. And now, it's my only friend.

====Campbell's Soup====
:Oh. While I do appreciate the relevance of this, given my costume, I was kind of hoping for something that I wouldn't have to prepare. You know, like Necco Wafers or baking chocolate...

=== Bubs ===
''{Knocks in a funky rhythm, similar, but not identical, to Coach Z's.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Please, baby please, baby baby baby ''please''! Gimme some candy!

====Mallo Cup====
:''{singing}'' I got a shallow gup and a crallow nup, somebody give me dat Mallow Cup.

====Dum-Dums====
:Oh! ''{singing}'' I'm such a big dum-diddy-dum-diddy-diddy-dum-dum...my.

====Bazooka Gum====
:I never understand the comics that come in this bubble gum. I mean, the first frame is some guy saying, ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you}'' "Look out, the sky is falling!" And the second frame is some guy getting hit on the head with a rock ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you again. The second frame is captioned "Fortune: The rock hit the guy in the sweater"}''. And I'm sitting there going, "What the heck just happened?", and before I know it, I swallowed my bubble gum!

=== Homestar Runner ===
''{Homestar continually knocks until you answer.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around, I never thought I could trick or tre-e-eat...

====Smarties====
:All right, Smarties! Marzipan said to eat lots of these this year. I'm not really sure why she said that though. ''{Crickets chirp, record scratches when Homestar breaks the silence.}'' Umm... trick or treat!

====Circus Peanuts====
:''{Dances and "doots" ''[[Wikipedia:Entrance of the Gladiators|Entrance of the Gladiators]]'' (known to most as a circus theme). You close the door, but Homestar rings the doorbell, and when you answer, he is still dancing and singing.}''

====Handful of Change====
:''{sounding slightly disappointed and frequently pauses}'' Oh... a handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, um, buy some candy. So... thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

== Later that Night... ==

=== The Discussion ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad, I really like your costume. The Spanish Inquisition? That's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, for the last time, I'm not The Spanish Inquisition, I'm not Cab Calloway, and I'm not Strong Bad wearing a yellow turtleneck! I'M CARMEN FREAKIN' SANDIEGO!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like Cab Calloway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Poopsmith, that's the worst costume I ever saw. {laughing} I mean, you're ''Lazer Tag''? What, are you supposed to be dressed up as the product or is it more abstract than that, like you're supposed to be the concept of Lazer Tag? Come on man, you know you just found that old crap in a trunk in your basement.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ease off, Strong Bad! He's not the one that dressed up as a ''girl'' two years in a row.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh ho ho ho, you asked for it, King.

''{Strong Mad punches The King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' Did any of you guys go to that house that was givin' out change? I changed my costume and went back ten times. I made 35 dollars!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you guys go to that house where they let you into this big room and there's all these people wearing black hoods and they ask you these questions about life and existence and if you answer them wrong you get eternal damnation, but if you answer them right you get a Twizzler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No.

'''COACH Z:''' Nope.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No.

'''BUBS:''' Nope.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NO.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Never mind.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Pom Pom, check out this funky bass groove! A doo'rear, a doo'ri, a doo'rear, a doo'ri! ''{Grooves around a little}''

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Have they voted yet? I really have to pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and the Poopsmith's not smelling any rosier, either.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, oh! I've got an idea! Let's totally freak 'em out. ''Let's repeat the stuff we just saaaaid!''

''{loops back to the start of the discussion}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Clicking on the lightswitch (on the left side) will flick the switch on and off.
*When Pom Pom and the Poopsmith knock at your door, move the pumpkin that's sitting on your porch onto them to unlock Homsar (transcription [[#Homsar|above]]). Homsar will only appear in the final scene if you unlock him, though he doesn't say anything.
*When Strong Bad's egging list is up, click on "[[kewpie dan]]" to see a sketch of him. (Note: although this egg appears to be glitched, it was intended to open [[HR:kewpiedan.html|this page]] in a new window.)
*In the final scene when all of the characters are talking, you can roll over the skull, pumpkin and moon to see funny captions.
**Skull: Get offa me!
**Pumpkin: No costume. Just a pumpkin.
**Moon: Just pick a freakin' character already!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The length of this toon was originally listed as "?:??" on the Toons page, and now as 4 minutes.
**This is because one could sit there for hours on end doing ''no'' commands, and the length would be longer than 240 seconds.
*Marzipan's costume has a small hole in it and her pink flesh is visible beneath, giving further credence to the theory that her body is actually skirt-shaped.
*This is the first instance of [[The Cheat's head exploding]].
*The Bazooka Joe comic that is visible when giving Bubs Bazooka Joe Bubble [[Gum]] originally came from an idea The Brothers Chaps thought up for a possible weekly feature. It was never released until they showed it at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|March 1, 2005 NYU Talk]].
*This is the first toon to [[Appearances By All 12 Main Characters|feature all the]] [[Characters#Main characters|main characters]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|"NO! NOO! NOOO!"]]
*Giving The Cheat and Strong Mad [[Wikipedia:Pop Rocks|pop rocks]] shows a rare glimpse of The Cheat's mouth open without his teeth being visible.
*Bubs's comment about the house that was giving out change suggests that he went back ten times (making a total of 11 trips) and made $35, implying that the inhabitant was giving out $3.18 per trick-or-treater, on average.
*The only candy that shows up twice is the Fun Size [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]].
*Clicking "Back" leads to [[Main Page 7]], the Halloween Main Page.
*Strong Bad is seen during the King of Town's segment as well as in Marzipan's reaction to [[steak]], but he is not in costume in either one.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] didn't use the current style of animation on Strong Bad (his shadowed eyes), even though they used it in an earlier toon, [[A Mother's Day Message]].
*When The King of Town appears, Strong Bad has the new diamond but older eyes (he also has this design if you give the steak to Marzipan as her treat; he has it when he sneaks more steaks into her bag), and when he comes to the door, he is in his older style.
*All of the King of Town's treat options involve [[butter]], and all of Strong Mad and The Cheat's options involve rocks.
*In the beginning, when the shadows of the things are being thrown at the shadow of the tree, the two shadows overlap and make a darker shadow.
*The candy [[corn]] that is an option for Marzipan is not colored properly: Normal candy corn is orange in the middle and yellow on the bottom.

===Goofs===
*In the final scene where all of the characters are talking, Strong Bad's caption is misspelled: it should read "[[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]]", not "Carmen San Diego".
**Bubs's caption is also misspelled as "Mars Blackman" instead of "Mars Blackmon".
*As Homestar talks in the first scene, the bottom outline on his cap moves. This is most visible when his face moves close to the viewer.
*When Strong Bad smears the Butterfinger bar on the door and Strong Sad shows up, the melted chocolate on the door disappears when the choices of candy show up.
*After Marzipan tells Strong Sad that he wasn't invited this year, her mouth stays slightly open until the loop starts over.
*After Strong Bad says that the Poopsmith isn't smelling any rosier, his mouth is more open than it is in the middle of the final scene, but it still opens a little wider when the loop starts over.

===Glitches===
*The light switch can be moved up and down, but it doesn't do anything. You can flip the switch even while the door is opened, and if you leave the light switch down, it will automatically go back up when the next person knocks.
*After Bubs says, "Gimme some candy!", the outline under his mouth nearly vanishes, and the shading of his 'MARS' chain also changes.
*When Homestar is introducing the toon, the line between his head and hat and his eyes seem to move very slightly up and down.

===Inside References===
*The following are all references from the previous year's Halloween toon, [[Homestarloween Party]]:
**The music that plays when Homestar rises up at the start is the same one used when it was time for "Scary Flashlight Ghost Storytelling With a Flashlight".
**Stuffing the pumpkin into the Poopsmith's mouth is a reference to when he was seen bobbing for pumpkins and holding them in his mouth.
**Marzipan noting at the end that "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year" refers to the fact that he had been uninvited by Marzipan the previous year.
**The King of Town's comment on Strong Bad dressing up as a girl for two years in a row refers to the previous Halloween toon where Strong Bad dressed up as [[Wikipedia:Carmen Miranda|Carmen Miranda]].
***For two years in a row, Strong Bad also [[Cross-Dressing|dressed up]] as females named Carmen.
***Homestar once again [[I really like your costume|misidentifies Strong Bad's costume]].
*Bubs's line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-Dum Pop]] is a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. ''(See also Real-World References.)''
*Strong Mad attempted almost the same prank greeting as in this toon on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]].
*Coach Z's rap is a reference to [[alcohol]].
*[[Loose coins]] show up twice in this cartoon: you can give Homestar a handful of change, and Bubs talks about going back to the house that was giving out change.
*[[Cricket noises]] can be heard when Homestar says he doesn't know why Marzipan said to eat lots of Smarties.

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z raps a couple lines from [[Wikipedia:Digital Underground|Digital Underground]]'s biggest hit song, "The Humpty Dance", substituting his own name for Humpty Hump's. The rhythm he knocks on the door is the [[Wikipedia:Amen Break|Amen Break]]. The drink he mentions, [[Wikipedia:Hennessy|Hennessy]], is a brand of cognac, or brandy. Another line is used at the voting screen when Coach Z tells Pom Pom to "check out this bass groove right here." Coach Z's line "those are the breaks" is also most likely a reference to rapper [[Wikipedia:Kurtis Blow|Kurtis Blow]]'s biggest hit song "[[Wikipedia:The Breaks|The Breaks]]".
*The joke involving The Cheat consuming Pop Rocks and soda is a reference to [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm an urban legend] that states that Mikey, the [[Wikipedia:Life (cereal)|Life cereal]] mascot, died when consuming Pop Rocks and soda caused his stomach to explode.
*When you drag the pumpkin onto Pom Pom and the Poopsmith, the music that is played is from the [[The Legend of Zelda|''Legend of Zelda'' games]], usually when you unlock something (like blowing up a wall with a bomb, thus creating a door). The particular sound music they use in the toon is from "[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]", as the dungeon music can be heard after the sound plays.
*Ronnie Pudding, the first name on Strong Bad's list of houses to egg, is the name of [[Spinal Tap]]'s first bassist.
*Strong Bad greets you with "Where in the world is my candy?", a reference to the computer game and TV show "[[Wikipedia:List of Carmen Sandiego products#Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?|Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?]]" from which his costume comes.
*Strong Sad's comment on receiving the [[Wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell's soup]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] (whom Strong Sad is dressed as) series of paintings ''Campbell's Soup''.
*"Please baby, please baby, baby baby please" is a reference to Mars Blackmon's (whom Bubs is dressed up as) exact same line in [[imdb:tt0091939|She's Gotta Have It]].
*The skull's line at the end when you hold the mouse pointer over it ("Get offa me") is a quote from Murray, the Demonic Talking Skull from [[LucasArts]]' [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|''Monkey Island'']] games.
*Homsar's greeting is a play on [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy's]] famous line, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
*Marzipan's intro is "Hey, ho! Let's go!" from the [[Ramones]]' 1976 hit, "Blitzkrieg Bop". This was also a reference/tribute to Joey's death earlier in 2001.
*Homestar's greeting is sung to the tune of (and is a play on) [[Wikipedia:Believe It or Not (song)|Believe It or Not]], which is the theme song to the TV show [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].
*[[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] was a famous jazz bandleader and singer whose career spanned many years.
*Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the "[[Wikipedia:Spanish Inquisition|Spanish Inquisition]]" is a reference to a [[Monty Python]] [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|sketch of the same name]] in which [[Wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]], [[Wikipedia:Terry Jones|Terry Jones]], and [[Wikipedia:Terry Gilliam|Terry Gilliam]] were dressed in similar costumes.
*The Poopsmith holding up a sign due to his vow of silence is reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote of [[Looney Tunes]] fame.
*The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is a reference to the [[Pokémon]] [[wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|anime]], where the main character, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]], has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, Pikachu!"
*The subject line of the email when the Poopsmith is chosen for best costume, Teddy Poopspin, references [[Wikipedia:Teddy Ruxpin|Teddy Ruxpin]], a popular toy from the '80s made by Worlds of Wonder, the same company that made Lazer Tag.
*If you choose the King of Town for best costume, the subject line of the email is "King of Town, Now Sit Down." This is a reference to [[Sierra]] Online's [[Wikipedia: Quest for Glory|Quest for Glory]] (aka Hero's Quest), where the phrase "Hut of brown, now sit down" was used to gain access to Baba Yaga's magic hut.
*If you choose Strong Sad for best costume, the subject line of the email is "A vote for Strong Sad is a vote for America." This is a reference to 1984 Presidential Candidate Walter Mondale's Campaign slogan, which was "A vote for Walter Mondale is a vote for America." Mondale lost the election to Ronald Reagan in a landslide, winning only his home state (Minnesota) and the District of Columbia.
*If you choose Marzipan for best costume, the subject is a play on the [[Wikipedia:Riot Grrrl|Riot Grrrl]] music scene.
*Giving Strong Mad and The Cheat the rocks may be a reference to the only Halloween treat [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]] receives in ''[[Wikipedia:It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown|It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown]]''.

*When Coach Z mentions "36 Chambers", it is a reference to the Wu-Tang Clan album "Enter The Wu-Tang", also known as the 36 Chambers.
*The "D" on the baseball cap worn by Pom Pom as part of his Michael Moore costume is the insignia for the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers]].
*Bubs's line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-Dum Pop]] is a play on the line "dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum" from the children's book ''[[Special:Booksources/0679890483|Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb]]'' by Al Perkins. ''(See also Inside References.)''

===Fast Forward===
*"Cheatachu72" later became The Cheat's screen name in [[i she be]] and [[marzipan]].
*The music that was used as Homestar was rising would later be used in the Strong Bad Email [[theme park]] as background music for "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*"Your house" was later reused in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] where you could, once again, choose Coach Z's and Bubs's treats (and Stinkoman's, too).
**Also, Strong Mad would wear Pom Pom's Detroit Tigers baseball cap as part of his [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]] costume.
*The phrase "Get offa me!" would later be said by a [[sticky note]] in the email [[vacation]].
*This toon started the [[Bubslegum Comics]].
*The jingle that Homsar sings when given candy sounds strangely like the jingle for the [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], in [[candy product]].
*The 2005 Halloween toon, [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], is also done in the style of a decision-making game, just like this Halloween toon.
*The result of the voting contest was finally revealed, 5 years after the toon's release, in [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*Bubs's door-knocking rhythm would become the same rhythm as used in Hip Hop Dance from [[New Boots]].
*The Cheat again fully opens his mouth in [[rough copy]].
*The "Why you lazy crap for crap!" quote that Strong Bad says later became a [[System Sound]] for an error.
*Homestar would later revisit his costume in [[Greatest American Homestar]], singing both a longer cut of his version of Believe It or Not and an exert of Entrance of the Gladiators.

== DVD Version ==
*The title and opening credits scene has been moved to after the first scene.
*Homestar does not ask the viewer to drag the treats on top of them.
*The doors open on their own.
*Coach Z no longer says "George Foreman?" when given the Jujyfruits.
*The "unlocking" sound for Homsar is higher-pitched and cleaner. It is also much different than on the website.
*Homsar's lines for the shaving cream and wrench are inexplicably switched.
*Homsar's song about the black and orange taffy is more complete, rather than being cut off at the very start, as is the case on the website.
*Homsar appears in the ending whether he was unlocked or not.
*Marzipan adds "What's wrong with girls?" after Strong Mad punches The King of Town.
*Marzipan says "No" to Strong Sad's question just before Strong Sad replies.
*The sentence "Vote for your favorite costume!!" at the end is missing and Homestar does not ask if the viewer has voted yet.
*As Homestar starts the repetition of the end scene, the scene fades out and the toon ends. Specifically, it completely fades out as Homestar says, "The Spanish Inquisition?"
*If you wait too long without making a choice when Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are at the door, the Homsar scene is automatically unlocked.
**However, as a result, just like on the website, the pumpkin goes into the Poopsmith's mouth and you forgo the opportunity to give them a real treat.
*You no longer have the opportunity to see who is dressed up as who at the end, like you can on the website.
*When the toon is played in "Play All", the treats are automatically picked for you. Also, Homsar is automatically unlocked. The treats automatically picked are:
**'''Coach Z''': Boston Baked Beans
**'''The King of Town''': Stick of Butter
**'''The Cheat and Strong Mad''': Pop Rocks
**'''Marzipan''': Rice Cakes
**'''The Poopsmith and Pom Pom''': Chick-O-Stick
**'''Homsar''': Black and Orange Taffy
**'''Strong Bad''': Fun Size Butterfinger
**'''Strong Sad''': Baking Chocolate
**'''Bubs''': Mallo Cup
**'''Homestar Runner''': Circus Peanuts

{{about|Skills of an Artist episode}} {{for|[[pseudocharacter]]|St. Cadaverstump's Morgue-tuary#Large Bean}}

Strong Bad draws the fearsome, dreaded Large Bean! Or is it a Joyous Bean?

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

'''Date:''' Wednesday, October 25, 2017

'''Running Time:''' 2:08

==Transcript==
''{Open to Strong Bad's glove against the usual paper background, with just a beat playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sensitive viewers may wish to look away. Because on this week's ''{title appears}'' Skills of an Artist, we're going to draw: LARGE BEAN!

''{Dramatic music sting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I make drawing... legumes!

''{Second music sting. The background music changes to Large Bean's theme.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright. Let's go. Start with a chubby crescent moon. ''{starts drawing a bean shape}'' Rrrrrr, chub it out. Oh, that's a chubby crescent moon. And now we do this epicotyledon... there... ''{draws concentric rings at the midpoint of the bean}'' you know? Earth science? Okay, and now, for his terrorizing arms, we do a little inverted seventies mom hair... ''{draws a curved line out from the bottom of the bean}'' 'Kay, and over here, another one— ''{draws a mirroring curved line on the other side}'' seventies mom hair. Look at that, she's goin' out... on a night on a town. ''{draws curved lines back from the first two, creating the look of two upraised tentacle arms}'' Rrrrt, come bring it back in. Rrrrt. And now, Large Bean only buys thrift store dress shirts! ''{draws curved lines for the sides of the shirt}'' So let's bring it down here on the side... And he doesn't tuck them in! So we're gonna do a fishtail-fishmouth. ''{closes off the bottom of the shirt with an upward-arrow}'' Look at that. Look at that. And now, consummate. ''{draws two v-shapes from the bottom of the bean to resemble a shirt collar}'' Consummate. ''{adds three buttons with a "doot-doot-doot" sound}'' And, upside-down house. ''{draws a quick hexagonal pocket on the left side of the shirt, adding a line for the hem}'' For the pocket. Oh man. This bean is so large! He looms so large!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, and now, as he creeps toward you— ''{draws an angular left leg bent sharply at the knee, sticking out in a bizarre direction from the shirt}'' look at this, he's creepin' so hard... ''{adds a foot and makes a sound, then draws a similarly-bent right leg}'' And these... ''{fills the legs in with black}'' black slacks that he actually got... at a department store! He spent more money on these slacks than he did on the shirt! Large Bean!

''{Dramatic music sting; the music changes back to the normal Skills of an Artist theme}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Aw, would you look at that? Teeny Beanie Weeny is jumpin' for joy! Like he just won a new car commercial!

''{The Skills of an Artist theme and Large Bean's theme alternate as Homestar and Strong Bad speak}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No he's not! He's menacing some... innocent... coeds!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No no, Strong Bad. That right there is a joyous bean.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'll show you joyous bean! Just look at what's sitting right next to him. ''{draws the outline of an object right of Large Bean, with a round top and flat bottoms}'' Oh, you guys, you won't even believe it. ''{adds an edge, then a handle}'' It's one o' those old-timey suitcases! ''{adds various shaped stickers to the sides of the suitcase}'' With the travel stickers on it!

''{Dramatic music sting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man! Large Bean! You leave Des Moines alone! Stay out of the Wisconsin Dells! ''{draws a tag sticking out of the side of the suitcase over Homestar's line}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno, man. Looks like a joyous bean to me.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*An [[Wikipedia:Epicotyl|epicotyl]] is the stem of a germinating plant. A [[Wikipedia:Cotyledon|cotyledon]] is the part of the seed that will develop into the plant's first leaf. Bean plants usually undergo [[Wikipedia:Epigeal germination|epigeal]] germination.
===Trivia===
*The [[@StrongBadActual|Tweet text]] reads, "Learn to invert 70's mom hair and draw The Cursed Legume in this week's terrifying Skills of an Artist!"
*The [[YouTube]] description reads, "The cursed legume strikes again! Armed with his untucked thrift store shirts no less!"

===Inside References===
*Large Bean was introduced in [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]]. Homestar's lighthearted attitude toward it in this episode is similar to that toon.
*"Epicotyledon" is a [[portmanteau]].

Neumannz: Froosh

== Froosh ==

[[Dooj]] has had a page for a while, but there seems to have been a number of instances of "Froosh", too. Should we start up a Froosh page? --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 19:51, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

[[Image:Main25.PNG|220px|thumb|"Goin' on my 7th coffee run. You want anything?"]]

The puppets create a main page.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{Film|Puppet Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Puppet The Cheat}}, {{Film|Puppet Marshie}}, [[Puppet Character Variations|Puppet]] [[Doreauxgard]], {{Film|Puppet Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Exact Same}}, {{Film|Shark-Tooth Bubs}}

'''Places:''' [[The Field]], [[The Office]]

'''Date:''' Monday, August 25, 2008

'''Icon:''' Puppet Homestar

'''Page Title:''' Sponsored by Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kits!

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — As Homestar says "Toons," The Cheat walks by, holding an inflatable boom box. He makes some The Cheat noises as he passes. A riff from [[Everybody Knows It]] plays, and Homestar bounces to the beat.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — Marshie appears and says "Hey juys, wanna play some james?!" Homestar trembles at his appearance, then replies, "Um... not with you, creepazoid!", and Marshie disappears.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — A red curtain with images of Homestar and Doreauxgard falls. After Homestar says "Characters", Doreauxgard appears and says, "Character? You ain't got no character, Whitey! I'm outta here!" and leaves. The curtain rises.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — The scene shifts to the water cooler in the office. Homestar's outfit changes to his biz cas fri outfit. He says, "I need those downloads on my desk by five!" Strong Bad peers in, also in business casual and holding a coffee cup, and says, "Goin' on my seventh coffee run. You want anything?"
*'''[[Store]]''' — A second Homestar puppet appears and says, in a very non-Homestar-ish voice, "The store." His mouth does not move; instead talk lines appear on the screen. The original Homestar asks "Who are you?" The second replies, "Well, I am the exact same."
*'''[[Email|E-mail]]''' — After Homestar says "Email", a hand holding Shark-Tooth Bubs appears. Shark-Tooth Bubs says, "Is it like an email pie of some kind, or maybe barf bags, all that good stuff?"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the only Main Page that plays at [[Higher Frames Per Second|15 frames per second]] as opposed to 12 FPS.
*This is the first appearance of the brand new Homestar Runner Logo as a preloader. (Previous logos were flat-colored and shaded. This version of the logo, however, appears to have taken on a metallic sheen.)
*This and Main Page 24 are the only Main Pages that have the metallic, slightly brighter buttons.
*The only "puppet" that appeared before this main page that was not included was [[Frank Bennedetto]].
*This is the website debut of the Doreauxgard puppet (not including the cantaloupe used in [[lackey]]), who had previously only been seen in [[Interviews and Public Appearances|public appearances]].
*[[Main Page 23]] did not link to this page until 2010.
*The "E-mail" button is the only one that retains the standard audio files used on the other main pages.

===Remarks===
[[File:homestar puppet mp25.png|thumb|200px|Toons Menu Preview]]
*The new button style was previously used in [[Main Page 24]].
*The button for [[Main Page 12]] overlaps the white stripe, probably due to the lack of room for 25 buttons.
*After the opening riff for ''Everybody Knows It'' plays, a faint "every" sung by Homestar Runner can be heard.
*After the "e-mail" animation, Homestar is not in the same place he started and twitches back into place. It also happens before and after the "games" animation.
*This is the first [[Main Pages|Main Page]] to be linked to the [[New Stuff]] section of the [[TV Time Toons Menu]].
**The preview for this main page, located on the toons menu, does not resemble this main page, and uses the puppet stuff background.
*This marks the first speaking appearance of [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] on the website. In [[theme park]], he was accessed as an Easter egg and did not speak.

===Glitches===
*Main Page 25 does not function correctly on web browsers with [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash Player|Adobe Flash Player]] 7 or lower installed. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing. No backgrounds show up, except for the curtain, which does not have the logo on it. Also, no lines come out of [[The Exact Same]]'s mouth when he speaks. Also, the icon for [[Main Page 24]] appears as the same one for [[Main Page 23]].

===Inside References===
*This contains an instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*The second Homestar that appears was previously seen in [[strong badathlon]].
*The page title mentions [[Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit]].
*Marshie [[G#Mispronunciation_of_G|mispronounces G]], much like in his commercial in [[the show]].
*The voice on Shark-Tooth Bubs is the same as that of "Bubs" in the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoon [[mile]].
*Shark-Tooth Bubs mentions [[pie]].
*"Barf bags" is a reference to [[puking]].

===Fast Forward===
*This hybrid style of puppets and animation, as well as all of the characters except for The Exact Same, later appear in [[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]].

==Transcript==
''{Close-up of a mug reading "THE WORLD'S BEST CROOKED COP", written in marker pen on tape. Longer shot of Puppet Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) sitting in a darkened office, slurping noisily out of the mug while it's still sitting on the table. Strong Bad pushes the mug aside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh, I just drank that.

''{Shot of Puppet Homestar Runner (as Dangeresque Too) carrying an envelope. The envelope reads "FOR YOUR COOL [[Cool Shades|COOL GLASSES]] ONLY Your pal, Dangeresque Too". The envelope is dropped on the table in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Guess who just busted out of jail.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pulls a sheet of paper out of the envelope with a WANTED poster showing The Cheat, with the name "Szechuan Steve" written underneath.}'' Szechuan Steve?! The criminal mastermind behind stealing my curly fries one time? Let's go!

''{Strong Bad grabs his nunchuk gun. Shot of the two running along the top of a building. As their figurine stunt doubles jump over the edge, the shot freezes, and the titles come up on the screen, with a voice-over reading them out.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' Dangeresque: Puppet Squad — The Curly Fried Caper!

''{Panning shot of an abandoned warehouse. Strong Bad and Homestar arrive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Broken windows! This ''must'' be the ''place''!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These mean streets are tough. I'll handle the dumpsters, YOU take the piles of cardboard boxes.

'''BOTH:''' Break!

''{They run off in opposite directions. Alternate shots of Strong Bad savaging some cardboard boxes, and Homestar (and his stunt double) running and jumping over some dumpsters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Hut! Waaaa! Oof!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blargh! Wroa! Yaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hut! Whoa! Oof!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Hitting the boxes with his nunchuck gun}'' Stupid - cardboard - boxes! I hate you! Stupid - cardboard -boxes!

''{Strong Bad and Homestar come back together again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gasp!

''{Shot of Puppet The Cheat (as Szechuan Steve), apparently wearing a Chinese food box as a hat, standing on the roof holding a cardboard tray of curly fries.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hand over the curly fries, Szechuan Steve!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{More The Cheat noises. Drops the fries over the edge of the building.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{In low-pitched, pretend-slow-motion voice}'' Nooooooo!

''{Slow-motion shot of the curly fries and tray falling to the ground. Or rather, a shot of the curly fries being lowered slowly on strings. Strong Bad catches the tray, then catches all of the curly fries in the tray.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I got you guys!

''{A vibraslap sound plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nice catch, D-man! I'll handle Szechuan Steeeeeeeve!

''{Homestar jumps to the top of the building and kicks The Cheat to the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Dangeresque Too, looks like we finally caught the guy responsible for one time stealing my curly fries!

''{Long shot of Strong Bad, Homestar and The Cheat's action-figure stunt doubles. Pan right, to see Shark-Tooth Bubs with a mustache and wearing a white hat watching the scene.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Or did you?

''{A dramatic riff plays as the camera zooms in on Shark-Tooth Bubs, eventually fading into a higher-contrast shot. An "Again" link appears, along with "Dangeresque is coming soon to WiiWare and PC! click to find out more", which links to the Telltale Games website}''

==Fun Facts==
[[File:HR-DPS-Dumpster.png|thumb|Wastin' that management.]]
===Trivia===
*The left-most dumpster is one from [[wikipedia:Waste Management, Inc|Waste Management, Inc.]]
*This is the only standalone toon from the Puppet Stuff category to be on its own page instead of being in a bubble on the TV Time Toons menu.

===Explanations===
*Character figures and plushies are used in stunts and long-range shots for both puppets, as otherwise the shots would reveal their human controllers. In particular, the Homestar puppet does not have any legs, thus requiring the use of a stand-in.
**Strong Bad's stunt double and Homestar's standing-still stunt double are custom-made plushies, while The Cheat in the final scene and Homestar's running stunt double are [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|character figurines]]; The Cheat's double is from Set One, while Homestar's is from Set Two. The figurines appear to have been removed from the base to which they originally came attached.
*Szechuan Steve is named for [[wikipedia:Szechuan cuisine|Szechuan cuisine]], which may explain why he's wearing a Chinese take-out container on his head. Szechuan cuisine in turn takes its name from [[wikipedia:Sichuan|Sichuan]] (formerly romanized as "Szechuan"), a province in China.

=== Goofs ===
*In the second jump Homestar starts out turning clockwise while airborne, but is turning counter-clockwise during the close-up.

=== Fixed Goofs ===
*Originally, this puppet stuff was a pop-up (in this context, a Flash file displayed within another). Since the pop-up itself ran at [[Higher Frames Per Second|24fps]], it promoted the [[Main Pages]] and the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] to 24fps. Most of the audio for said pages would be out-of-sync due to the promoted frame rate.
**The initial "fix" was done by masking the rest of the content behind the pop-up with a background to conceal the visual effects of the goof (i.e., [[Main Page 14]]'s continual dripping sound would still be heard more frequently than usual).
**Ironically and inversely, this made [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]'s preview on the TV Time Toons Menu go at its native frame rate of 24fps, whereas it would normally be slowed down to 12fps.
**The final fix was giving the puppet stuff its own page. However, this seems to be a hasty fix, as other Puppet Stuff, which are pop-ups, have never affected the frame rates of other pages as described. The previous Puppet Stuff, [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]], had and has no such problem.
*The Toons menu used to say this toon was made in 2007.

===Inside References===
*The theme music used for this toon was originally from the email [[rough copy]].
**Also, the music used for Strong Bad and Homestar's "fight" with the dumpsters and [[cardboard boxes]] was originally used in [[more armies]]
*This is another instance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*The parking lot where most of the action takes place appears to be the same one used in [[Baddest Of The Bands Promo Spot]].
*The drawing of Szechuan Steve's Chinese take-out container has [[Trogdor]] on it.
*The noise of the traffic and honking right after the intro comes from [[Senorial Day]].

===Fast Forward===
* The remix of the Dangeresque theme played when Strong Bad and Homestar arrive at the warehouse is used as background music for [[Club Technochocolate|the Old Club]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].
* The music at the beginning would later be used in [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]].
* The traffic sounds would later be used again in [[hremail3184]] after [[Senor Cardgage]] rejects helping Strong Bad come out of e-tirement.

''{Long shot of Strong Bad, Homestar and The Cheat's action-figure stunt doubles. Pan right, to see Shark-Tooth Bubs with a mustache and wearing a white hat watching the scene.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Or did you?

''{A dramatic riff plays as the camera zooms in on Shark-Tooth Bubs, eventually fading into a higher-contrast shot. An "Again" link appears, along with "Dangeresque is coming soon to WiiWare and PC! click to find out more", which links to the Telltale Games website}''

==Fun Facts==
[[File:HR-DPS-Dumpster.png|thumb|Wastin' that management.]]
===Trivia===
*The left-most dumpster is one from [[wikipedia:Waste Management, Inc|Waste Management, Inc.]]
*This is the only standalone toon from the Puppet Stuff category to be on its own page instead of being in a bubble on the TV Time Toons menu.

===Explanations===
*Character figures and plushies are used in stunts and long-range shots for both puppets, as otherwise the shots would reveal their human controllers. In particular, the Homestar puppet does not have any legs, thus requiring the use of a stand-in.
**Strong Bad's stunt double and Homestar's standing-still stunt double are custom-made plushies, while The Cheat in the final scene and Homestar's running stunt double are [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|character figurines]]; The Cheat's double is from Set One, while Homestar's is from Set Two. The figurines appear to have been removed from the base to which they originally came attached.
*Szechuan Steve is named for [[wikipedia:Szechuan cuisine|Szechuan cuisine]], which may explain why he's wearing a Chinese take-out container on his head. Szechuan cuisine in turn takes its name from [[wikipedia:Sichuan|Sichuan]] (formerly romanized as "Szechuan"), a province in China.

=== Goofs ===
*In the second jump Homestar starts out turning clockwise while airborne, but is turning counter-clockwise during the close-up.

=== Fixed Goofs ===
*Originally, this puppet stuff was a pop-up (in this context, a Flash file displayed within another). Since the pop-up itself ran at [[Higher Frames Per Second|24fps]], it promoted the [[Main Pages]] and the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] to 24fps. Most of the audio for said pages would be out-of-sync due to the promoted frame rate.
**The initial "fix" was done by masking the rest of the content behind the pop-up with a background to conceal the visual effects of the goof (i.e., [[Main Page 14]]'s continual dripping sound would still be heard more frequently than usual).
**Ironically and inversely, this made [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]'s preview on the TV Time Toons Menu go at its native frame rate of 24fps, whereas it would normally be slowed down to 12fps.
**The final fix was giving the puppet stuff its own page. However, this seems to be a hasty fix, as other Puppet Stuff, which are pop-ups, have never affected the frame rates of other pages as described. The previous Puppet Stuff, [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]], had and has no such problem.
*The Toons menu used to say this toon was made in 2007.

===Inside References===
*The theme music used for this toon was originally from the email [[rough copy]].
**Also, the music used for Strong Bad and Homestar's "fight" with the dumpsters and [[cardboard boxes]] was originally used in [[more armies]]
*This is another instance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*The parking lot where most of the action takes place appears to be the same one used in [[Baddest Of The Bands Promo Spot]].
*The drawing of Szechuan Steve's Chinese take-out container has [[Trogdor]] on it.
*The noise of the traffic and honking right after the intro comes from [[Senorial Day]].

===Fast Forward===
* The remix of the Dangeresque theme played when Strong Bad and Homestar arrive at the warehouse is used as background music for [[Club Technochocolate|the Old Club]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].
* The music at the beginning would later be used in [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]].
* The traffic sounds would later be used again in [[hremail3184]] after [[Senor Cardgage]] rejects helping Strong Bad come out of e-tirement.

'''Running Time:''' 3:00

'''Page Title:''' Made with 50% fewer technologies!

==Transcript==
''{Music plays. There is a red curtain with "The Animated Adventures of" on it. Throughout the entire cartoon, there is a cardboard border around the edges. It opens to The Field. "PUPPET HOMESTAR" is in colorful letters that hang from strings. "PUPPET HOMESTAR" gets pulled up.}''

''{The music stops.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Once upon a time...

''{Puppet Homestar Runner comes in from the right}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...here's the type of thing that happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' I don't believe it! I won't believe it! There isn't a pile right here! What kind of world do we live in, where there isn't a pile right here? ''{no longer angry}'' Well, I'm going to do my part! I'm gonna— ''{breaks off}'' umm... ''build'' a pile!

''{Puppet Homestar leaves. He then comes back holding an egg.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My pile will start with an egg!

''{Puppet Homestar leaves and then comes back holding bacon.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, a bacon.

''{Shark-Tooth Bubs appears.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' What you're doing in m-here, Homestar? W-you making a breakfast pile or...?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, n—

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' A beach resort pile?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no...it's not supposed to be.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Well, looks like you're heading in that direction, if I'ms can say...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, heavens!

''{Shark-Tooth Bubs moves closer to Puppet Homestar.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Why don't I be your pile manager? ''{moves back}'' I'll make sure it doesn't become a breakfast pile, for you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You'd do that for me? Be my pile manager?

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{lunging forwards, suddenly aggressive}'' Get back to work!

''{The curtains close.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Everything was piles upon piles...

''{The curtains open to Puppet Homestar and Shark-Tooth Bubs standing by a big pile}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...until one day...

''{Puppet Strong Bad and Puppet The Cheat come in from the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grabble-dee-garble-dee-grabble-a-grah!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh... what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you haven't heard that yet? That's like, the new "Fe Fi Fo Fum".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't like it. It'll never last.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, anyways, this is my pile now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, no...! ''{leans backwards}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{moving forward}'' Say there, Mohhhldy Moldy. You need a pile manager?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'd do that for me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' You traitorous trade-about! ''{He exits screen right}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Sorry, piles, I got my own styles.

''{Screen darkens and then curtain closes}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And so the Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar—

''{curtain opens to the Puppet Homestar moving in silhouette among some hills}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' — decided that he should seek out some help. He goed and goed until he finally went.

''{Homestar stops on a hill}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ew!

''{Curtain quickly closes and reopens to reveal Homestar in the field with Marshie and Doreauxgard}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys gotta help me! You're the only puppets left!

'''DOREAUXGARD:''' Well...sounds like you better protect yourself. Bag of doorknobs. ''{lunges towards Homestar}'' Bag of doors, if you can manage it!

'''MARSHIE:''' Oo! And then, ''oo''! I've got just the thing! Now, huddle up boys, and make that old whispering sound!

''{Music starts and the trio make indistinct whispering sounds.}''

''{Curtain closes and reopens to Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Shark-Tooth Bubs by the pile}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, who knew being king of the pile would be sooooooooooooooooooo exciting.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' I'm going to go throw up at your house.

''{Shark-Tooth Bubs exits from the bottom of the screen and is replaced by Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ho ho!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Ho ho!" It's the new "a-ha".

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can live with that.

''{Marshie comes flying in}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Let 'em have it, Jackson! ''{Marshie flies off}''

''{A translucent sheet comes down so that The Cheat, Strong Bad, and Homestar are only seen as silhouettes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhhhhhhhh-AGGGH!

''{The Homestar puppet comes off to reveal a squirming hand, which makes gurgling/growling noises}''

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat scream and flee screen left in terror}''

''{The hand lets out a yell after Strong Bad and The Cheat have left the screen}''

''{The Homestar Puppet covers the hand and the sheet comes up, leaving Homestar alone with the pile.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Too good, Strong Bad! ''{Doreauxgard comes in screen left and Marshie flies in}'' Looks like your fifteen minutes of pile are over!

''{The screen darkens, a grey hand with Strong Sad's eyes drawn on it appears from the left}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so, The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar lived ''{curtain closes}'' pretty well after that. Can't complain, really. I guess my thumb is pretty sore.

''{Homestar enters screen right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whisperingly}'' Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think this permanent marker is giving my hand a rash.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering, overlapping}'' Stop it. Puppet show's over.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the bloating! Don't get me started on the bloating.

''{Homestar continues to whisper to get Strong Sad's attention}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad! Step. On it. We're up! Stop it. Strong Sad! That's it! Cut it off. That's the end. No more!

''{Strong Sad finally leaves screen left}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-up... wiggle it... just a little bit... Strong Sad!

''{"End." appears on the curtain}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Short - The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar|RSS description]] of the toon is:
<blockquote>'''Homestar says''' - Everybody loves the Puppet Homestar. He is a terrific hand-in-the-headthlete. At short last, I bring the hit [[HR:main25.html|homepage No. 25]] to life! What do you get when you cross a cartoon with photos of puppets? Why, something that defeats the purpose of BOTH those things, THAT'S what you get! This puts Muppets, Supermarionation, and the sham marriage known as Gumby to shame! I mean, who can resist that ol'Shark-Tooth Bubs?! </blockquote>
*Items in Homestar's pile include:
**an [[egg]]
**a piece of [[bacon]]
**some tangled spaghetti with meat sauce
**a [[Wikipedia:Kewpie doll (toy)|Kewpie doll]]
**a [[trophy]]
**a rubber band ball
**a mug
**an engine
**a doorknob
**a tennis ball


===Remarks===
*This short is done in the same style as [[Main Page 25]].
*Homestar says that Marshie and Doreauxgard are the "only puppets left"; however, [[The Exact Same]] and [[Frank Bennedetto]] are not mentioned.
*Homestar teams with Marshie and Doreauxgard, even though he has previously shown [[Meet Marshie|dislike]] towards Marshie, while Doreauxgard has [[lackey|shown this feeling]] towards Homestar.

===Inside References===
*This cartoon focuses on [[pile]]s.
*Strong Sad mentions everything being "[[Styles Upon Styles|Piles Upon Piles]]".
*Shark-Tooth Bubs says to Homestar that he has his own [[Style|styles]].
*Shark-Tooth Bubs says he's going to [[Puking|throw up]] at Strong Bad's house.
*The part where Homestar is running over the hills is similar to a scene in the [[Old Intro 2|second Intro]].
*There is another reference to [[peeing]].
*The [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth wall is broken]] when Puppet Homestar expresses disgust over the line "-until he finally went.", and by the fact both he and Puppet Strong Sad refer to the characters as "puppets".

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's "garbldy-garbldy" is mentioned as being the new "Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum" from [[Wikipedia:Jack_and_the_Beanstalk|Jack & the Beanstalk]].
*Strong Bad being "king of the pile" is a play on the phrase "[[Wikipedia:King of the Hill (game)|King of the Hill]]".
*Homestar saying that Strong Bad's fifteen minutes of pile are over is a play on [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] famous quote that in the future, everyone would have [[Wikipedia:15 minutes of fame|fifteen minutes of fame]].
*"Wiggle it, just a little bit" is a line from the early-'90s hip hop group [[Wikipedia:2 in a Room|2 in a Room]]'s single "Wiggle It".
*"Let 'em have it, Jackson!" may be a reference to a quote from Lt. Vasquez in [[Wikipedia:Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare|Call of Duty 4]].
*In the RSS description, Homestar mentions the [[Muppets]], [[Wikipedia:Supermarionation|Supermarionation]] and [[Wikipedia:Gumby|Gumby]].

Talk:Puppet Character Variations

Neumannz — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 19:21:40 GMT

Neumannz: /* Filmography? */

== Puppet-ality ==

The puppets seem to have slightly different personalities to their Flash counterparts. I'd add that information into the article, but I can't figure out exactly what is different about their personalities. Thoughts? {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
:[[Shark-Tooth Bubs]], at least, is decidedly different than regular Bubs. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Yeah, he's obviously different, but I was thinking more of Homestar and Strong Bad. Puppet Strong Bad is grumpier, I think. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
:::You'd be grumpy too if you had a puppet stand in your rear. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== H.R. Hurricanesnstuff ==

I think that H.R. Hurricanesntuff should be moved to [[Character Variations Other Costumes]] since he is a variation of the original Homestar Runner puppet (just a few pieces of felt added) and not an entirely separate character. For precedent, notice that when [[Homestar Runner]] dressed up as "Desire Man", we didn't consider this to be a separate character, just a [[Homestar Runner Other Costumes#Desire Man|costume]]. In the same way, H.R. Hurricanesnstuff is just a costume that Puppet Homestar is wearing. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
:(Whatever is decided, watch out for [[H.R. Hurricanesnstuff|this redirect]].) —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, that's exactly what Hurricaney is: a variation of a puppet of a character. I say just keep it here. {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 02:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I can see what Trey means. Hurricanesnstuff doesn't fit the intent of this page. Sure, let's move him. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

:Right, this page encompasses variations of characters as puppets, not variations of the puppets themselves, if that makes sense. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, do we have enough Puppet Stuff costumes to make its own Other Costumes page? Like how [[Old-Timey Other Costumes]] is a subset of [[Character Variations Other Costumes]], if we have enough puppet costumes, we could make Puppet Stuff Other Costumes. If not, let's start a puppet stuff section at the Character Variations Other Costumes page. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
:Can't we keep 'em in both pages? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 02:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
::Probably not, if he only fits one of the two — what we should do, however is add a "See also" link at the bottom of this page to whatever place we decide to put the puppets' costumes at. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
:BazookaJoe: Offhand, I can't think of many other costumes that puppets wear — but you're entirely right that if there are enough of them (at least 10 or 15), they should get a separate page like [[Old-Timey Other Costumes]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, moved 'im under a puppet section in [[Character Variations Other Costumes]]. {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 02:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks — looks good :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

== The Paper ==

[[The Paper]] is the background of [[@StrongBadActual]] and is featured in several Twitpics. We're seeing it in "real-life" form. Should that be noted on this page? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
:If we included it there, we would have to have the computers as well. What if we have a separate pseudocharacters section? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 19:53, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

== Filmography? ==

I thinks the puppets should get Filmography categories. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 01:37, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
:Hellote? Haldo? Halosche? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 19:40, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
::So whaddaya think? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 02:25, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Somebody? Anybody? The Cheat? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 04:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Yeah, it seems that the Puppet filmography is getting a bit unwieldy, so I support the notion for separate filmography pages. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 04:55, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
:::::At the very least, the puppet versions of Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat should get their own categories. {{User:Mee/sig}} 03:28, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
::::::If there are no objections, I'ma go ahead and create the categories. Is that okay? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 05:54, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::::I agree that Puppet Homestar and Strong Bad need their own pages. Besides the large filography, for the longest time it seems to me that the Puppet versions have their own continuity hence why Bennedetto is alive for Labor Dabor and the Corpy exploded in Puppet form but was nicked by SB for SBEmails later. Ergo, they should be treated more along the lines of Stinkoman or The Homestar Runner [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 09:24, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
::::::::Does that mean we're going to be changing the {{t|film}} template usage on the different articles so that they're using the Puppet versions? (E.g., [[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]]) --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 19:21, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

== Chinmouth Strong Bad ==

I feel like the new "chinmouth Strong Bad" puppet should be mentioned on here somewheres. Maybe the gold-eyed Strong Bad and plush-duck mouthed-Homestar plushies too. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 21:50, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

== Two Dangeresques?! And two Dangeresque Toos?! ==

What do we do in the case that there are multiple puppets of the same character? It seemed that the precedent was set with Doreauxgard, but as more puppet variations begin to appear, it seems that we might need to split them. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 03:03, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
:Well, we have Homestar and The Exact Same in different sections... but I guess that's cuz they're different characters. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 03:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

''{Open on a red boxing glove holding a marker in front of a whiteboard designed to look like lined paper; the music from [[dragon]] plays}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{title appears}'' On this week's Skills of an Artist, we're gonna draw Mom's favorite tennis shorts! I make drawing— moms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, here we go. Everybody: gourd it out, all the way down from one leg. ''{draws a large, bulbous shape down from the left pant leg}'' You got it? And on the other leg— ''{draws a second one from the other leg}'' gouuurd it out. You know what I'm sayin'? Okay, stick with me, stick with me. ''{draws a quick shape on the bottom of the right bulb}'' Put a little footsie on the bottom. ''{draws a similar one on the left}'' Footsie on the bottom here. Okay? Okay? And, okay, we're gonna do like— ''{the video speeds up briefly as Strong Bad draws three diamond shapes on the right bulb, then the left bulb}'' argyle socks... three diamonds... ''{starts drawing a series of vertical dots down from the left pant leg, followed by a larger one, to represent a lamp chain}'' And, we do a little dotty-dotty-dotty-dotty... chain pole. ''{does the same on the other side}'' Dotty-dotty-dotty-dotty... chain pole. Okay? ''{draws a squiggly line out from the bottom of the right bulb}'' And no, this isn't a tail, it's a power cord. ''{adds a power cord head on the end}'' And comin' out of this one: ''{draws another squiggly power cord on the left}'' not a tail. It's a power cord.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at what I did! I designed an amazing designer lamp! ''{writes the name above the drawing as he speaks}'' The Dual Tennis Shorts Lumpabra! Uh... ninety-nine ninety-nine!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I said, with absolutely... no talking.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I think that's inordinate enough. And take a look! It's Characters 3 through 7! I say there, Characters 3 through 7, Character 2 here... has lost his gumption.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's right. Not far out. Can any of you teach him a little bit o' spice?

'''CHARACTER 3:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You got a little spice. And character 5!

'''CHARACTER 5:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You got your own spice!

'''CHARACTER 7:'''

'''CHARACTER 6:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Why, it almost seems like everybody's... got their own personal type of spice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe if we put them all together, we can create—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! You know what that chime means. It's time for everyone... to bend at the knees. That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{singing}'' The time has come... to bend at the knees... So I invite you, everybody, no pressure, put your mind at ease.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Uh, Strong Bad? ''{music stops, Character 1 and Character 2 look around}'' Homestar?

''{Cut to Basement of the Brothers Strong.

Several of the [[characters]] have minor alternate versions of them. Some of the more prominent variations also have minor personality differences from their normal cartoon counterparts (the [[Puppet Character Variations]], for instance, seem to be more cynical).

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Six}}

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm chicky-checkin' emails in 2008! Stricky-stricky-Strong Bad fit to regulate! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: high time</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
We realize that you are a busy fellow, but my friend and 
I cannot help but think that you could be doing more to 
help the environment. This is your planet too, you know. 
Lyd and Jules, 
ID and MO, respectively 
</blockquote>
''{reads ID as "idiot" and MO as "moron"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well...ladies? I do plenty to help the environment. Nobody ever gives me credit for my most significant contribution. ''{clears the screen}'' Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is NOT drop a piano on Marzipan's head. Who knows how many greenhouse gases I've rescued as a result of not mortally wounding ol' Marzipole. And don't forget my New Year's resolution to stop watering her plants with bleach. Now I water them strictly with ''{cut to Marzipan's house and a close up on her flowers}'' recycled cigarette butts.

''{Cigarette butts are dumped on one of the flowers.}''

'''FLOWER:''' ''{coughing}'' Oh, that's good stuff.

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, there ya go possibly ladies. My boat take— 
'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' ''{faintly, chanting}'' Scrappy the Lappy! We think it's really crappy! Scrappy the Lappy!

''{cut to the computer room's window where the silhouette of two picket signs are seen. Strong Sad and Marzipan continue underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—?

''{cut to the Field. Strong Sad holds up a sign that says "Scrap the Lappy". Marzipan holds a sign saying "Lappy, Take the Dirt Nappy!". Strong Bad enters from the right.}''

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' We think it's really crappy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you guys picketing my computer?

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes we are! That Lappy is energy sappy!

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stares flatly}'' That's very clever. How long did it take you to think up—

''{cut back to shot of all three}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{posing proudly}'' Three days.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Just look at your power bill from last month.

'''STRONG SAD:''' The bill itself uses eight trees' worth of paper.

''{pan to the left to reveal a stack of paper marked "BILLS!"}''

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you trying to tell me that $70,000 power bills aren't the norm?

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, every time you press enter on the Lappy, the rest of us lose power.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' For real?

''{Push wipe back to the Lappy. There is a list labeled "Okay for Mom" on the screen with various euphemisms for buttocks within it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing in the list}'' tuckus ''{presses enter (each time heard with the loud clack of a circuit breaker blowing)}'' hinders ''{presses enter}'' bwathom ''{presses enter}'' boontockle ''{presses enter}''

''{Push wipe to Homestar Runner with an [[Atari 2600]] joystick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Awww... ''{lights come on}'' I'm about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Awww.... ''{reverse shot of the TV that reads "PLEASE INSERT GAME PAK, KID!"}'' I'm really about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Again with the awww....

''{cut to close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fine! I'll just start using the Lappy's battery instead.

''{cut back to The Field}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, sorry. ''{medium shot of Strong Sad}'' Every time you use that battery, 45 acres of rain forest are burned to the ground!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' I knew the Lappy was awesome, but I had no idea of her destructive power! ''{cut to shot of all three}'' I gotta get Bubs to help me to overclock it and see if we can't get that up to an even 50 acres.

''{medium shot of Marzipan. Her angry brow goes away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You really have to do something, Strong Bad. Even Coach Z does all of his cooking with hydroelectric.

''{cut to a close up of Coach Z's hand in the [[showering|shower]], holding a soggy hot dog.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, the world famous Coach Z ''{the Sog Dog logo appears in the upper left corner}'' Sog Dog. ''{words appear on the screen as he says it}'' Mmmmm! Drink in that bun!

''{cut back to the Field, close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait. So, alls I got to do is take something I already do and word it differently so it sounds eco-friendly?

''{cut back to all three}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, that's what we do mostly.

''{medium shot of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Check out my sustainable MP3 player.

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And my organic ''Thelma and Louise'' DVD.

''{close up of Strong Bad, smiling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, okay. And say hello to my 65 mile-per-gallon hybrid piano!

''{long shot in silhouette of the Field. A piano is seen dropping and Strong Sad and Marzipan scatter}''

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' Al Gore's beard!

''{zoom back in just before the piano is seen smashed in the field next to Strong Bad. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there, there, THERE we go, maybe ladies. Strong Bad and the environment are now making out in the parent's basement of a solar-powered house. Take a look at the Lappy's new environmentally compliant sticker compliance sticker! ''{close up of the sticker next to the Lappy 486 logo}'' And it's got a picture of a little leaf on it, so you know it's good for the environment. ''{zoom out to the Lappy; resumes typing}'' So until next week, my boat take—

''{The Cheat noises are heard and the Lappy's screen goes dark. Zoom out to see a panting The Cheat (painted green) in a hamster wheel hooked up to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on green The Cheat! ''{The Cheat resumes running in the wheel}'' That's good, that's good! Only 17 more hours and I can press send.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down reading: 
"Click gently to eco-mail Strong Bad. 
printed on 100% post-consumer brown paper with green ink"}''

''{pause for a little while, as the hamster wheel sound effect fades out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow. That is one whisper quiet hamster wheel.

**Click on Montana to change it into Missouri and "Idiot and Moron" into "[[Mike Chapman|Mike]] is a Moron!"
*At the end, click on The Cheat to see a button extolling the virtues of GreenCheat.
*At the end, after Strong Bad comments on the hamster wheel, click on the wall outlet.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing his "Okay for Mom" list on the Lappy}'' Boat take... ''{hits Enter}''
:''{Cut to behind Homestar, still trying to play his Atari 2600 game. Lights and TV come on.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the easiest video game I've ever played. ''{the room darkens}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Game Pak is the official name for the cartridges used on [[Nintendo]]'s early video game consoles, but Homestar's console uses a joystick, resembling the ones included with the [[Atari 2600]].
*"100% post-consumer" is used to indicate the amount and source of recycled material. In this case, all of the paper material comes from sources other than leftovers from manufacturing and is considered environmentally superior.
*[[Wikipedia:Overclocking|Overclocking]] is having a computer component run faster than the designed speed, usually referring to [[Wikipedia:Central processing unit|CPUs]]. It almost always increases the amount of electricity used per hour, but sometimes saves energy per instruction.

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad is listing substitutes for his common use of the word "butt". His list reads:
<blockquote class="lappy email">
Okay for [[Parents|Mom]] 
1. rear-end 
2. back parts 
3. fanny 
4. tush 
5. tushie 
6. buns 
7. booty 
8. can 
9. tuckus 
10. hinders 
11. bwathom 
12. boontockle</blockquote>

<blockquote class="lappy email">
107. hiney 
108. patootie 
109. bum 
110. rump 
111. trunk 
112. sit-part 
113. boat take</blockquote>

*Strong Bad claims that his monthly power bill is $70,000. Assuming that he pays the US national average price of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html 9.86¢/kWh], that would mean that he uses approximately 710 MWh/month ([[Wikipedia:megawatt hours|megawatt hours]] per month). Since an average US household uses [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html 888 kWh/month], he uses enough power for about 800 of them. Assuming the Lappy consumes most of this power, and he leaves it on 16 hours a day, this would mean the Lappy draws about 1450 kW (or about 950 kW if he leaves it on 24/7). The most powerful power supplies for real PCs only draw 2 kW. (Real computers that use more than that are always on multiple rack-mounted motherboards.)
**Strong Sad claims that Strong Bad's bill uses eight trees' worth of paper. Assuming a tree can produce [http://www.howstuffworks.com/question16.htm 80,500] sheets of paper, this would be about 644,000 sheets of paper. This means that each page of the bill averages out to be approximately 10.87¢.
**In addition, if a standard bill would cost about $87.56/month, there should be no more than 800 bills. Assuming each bill is distributed by a different power company, if a total of four sheets are included, the maximum paper that should be used is produced by just under one tree every two years.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#gamma force|gamma force]]".
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when he announces his eco-friendly piano.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad describes his green methods for helping the environment."

===Remarks===
*The only United States marketed hybrid car to achieve 65 miles per gallon in official tests was the [[wikipedia:Honda Insight|Honda Insight]] (61/70 mpg). It was out of production at this email's release, but has been reintroduced. Currently, the most efficient hybrid car is the [[wikipedia:Toyota Prius|Toyota Prius]] (45/48 mpg).
*Just like Strong Sad in [[concert]], Homestar is either playing with a left-handed Atari 2600 joystick or is playing with the joystick sideways. The standard joystick has its button in the upper left hand corner.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Though the email senders say they are from Idaho and Missouri (ID and MO), the Easter egg shows the states Idaho and Montana (ID and MT). The day after the email was released, an additional Easter egg was added, fixing this and poking fun at the mistake.
*When this email was originally released, while Homestar was playing the game and the power went out, every time he sighed, the wire stuck out of the top of the controller.
*Originally, after the close-up on the Lappy's "Environmentally Compliant Sticker" sticker, it disappeared and did not reappear for the rest of the email.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad claims he begins each day by "[[Not X|NOT]] dropping a piano on Marzipan".
*The window above the computer desk was last seen in [[cheat talk]] and the CGI portion of [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One|Disc 1]] of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*Marzipan and Strong Sad previously behaved as a team of environmental activists, as related on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*The email references [[smoking]].
*"Marzipole" and "eco-mail" are [[portmanteaus]].
*This email makes another reference to [[Making Out|making out]].
*The piano falls out of [[hammerspace]].
*The word "bwathom" was previously used in [[isp]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Strong Sad's iPod|Strong Sad's MP3 player]] strongly resembles an [[wikipedia:iPhone|iPhone]] or an [[wikipedia:iPod Touch|iPod Touch]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Thelma & Louise|Thelma & Louise]]'' is a 1991 film starring [[Wikipedia:Geena Davis|Geena Davis]] as Thelma and [[Wikipedia:Susan Sarandon|Susan Sarandon]] as Louise.
*The exclamation "Al Gore's beard!" is reference to 45th Vice President of the United States and noted environmental activist [[Wikipedia:Al Gore|Al Gore]], who, after losing the 2000 presidential campaign, famously grew a beard and went into seclusion for a short period of time before refocusing on the environment.
*The "Environmentally Compliant" sticker is a play on [[Wikipedia:Energy Star|Energy Star]] and similar certifications used on electronics devices to rate their electricity consumption.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Sad's MP3 player later appeared on the [[Podstar Runner]] background after it was updated.
*Like the flower, [[Homestar Runner]] would also chokingly say "that's good stuff" in [[Hremail 7]].
*"GreenCheat" later became a patch and a tote bag in the [[store]], as well as a sponsor of [[Characters from Yonder Website]].

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' You don't run track either, doesn't look like.

''{both Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't— ''{laughs}'' I don't really run track,

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' No.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Either.

'''MIKE:''' You don't go down to the track for some pickup track meets?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm.

'''STRONG SAD:''' O— Once I went down to the track.

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That was as much exercise as you've ever gotten, isn't it?

'''STRONG SAD:''' It did not end well.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Well—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I can tell you that right now.

'''MIKE:''' Can you tell me how it ended?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, yes.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't this is gonna work out with me doing ''{voice slowly turns back to regular voice of Matt}'' this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' All right. No, j— keep going, just switch to Matt. Eh— I was gonna say this— this email is, uh, important because we actually finished this email during the week. Do you remember that?

'''MATT:''' ''{surprised}'' No.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We were finished with this by the end of the day on Friday.

'''MATT:''' Oh wow.

'''MIKE:''' Which I think was the first time in probably five or six years that we had not required, ''{laughing}'' copious amounts of hours on Sunday morning to finish it.

'''MATT:''' Wow, how come we couldn't keep it going?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. We probably took, you know, rested on our laurels.

'''MATT:''' We deserved it.

'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm.

'''MATT:''' Did you see that was the, the— a rare occurrence of, the sometimes when there's a window right next to Strong Bad's email checking desk, with a black branch outside of it, that says—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{laughing}'' That says Douglas?

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{laughing}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, that's right.

'''MATT:''' Ah, look. Oh, Homestar's— the, the cord on Homestar's joystick was not moving, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That was a nice looking game pak icon though. I like that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh huh.

''{slight pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So game pak. Did Ninte— did uh, Super Nintendo games call it, the game— a game pak?

'''MATT:''' I don't think they did.

'''MIKE:''' Or did they stop doing that after regular NES?

'''MATT:''' I think it was just regular NES.

'''MIKE:''' And it was P-A-K, right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{slight pause}'' Look at that uh, evil Lappy on the sign. I like that.

''{toon cuts to Coach Z's "Sog Dog" scene}''

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

'''MATT:''' Oh. Do you think Coach Z should open up like a Chicago dog type place?

'''MIKE:''' Little stand maybe,

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' cart.

'''MATT:''' I'd go buy, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Sausage cart.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Get a sog dog. It's not too different from the, uh, getting an Italian beef sandwich dipped in au jus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That gets pretty soggy.

'''MIKE:''' That au jus kinda tastes like shower water.

'''MATT:''' Ooh, Strong Sad has a new iPhone or iPod touch.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I know. I was so disappointed that Apple didn't send us iPhones right after this email came out.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You expected that to happen?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I remember I drew that— that was a— I was very proud of that drawing of a, smashed up piano. I drew it on a notebook first, and then, kinda traced it in Flash.

''{slight pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um, there was a good, uh, Mike didn't wanna use any of my eco-friendly stickers that I put on the Lappy. ''{laughing}'' There was one with a bird that had a plug coming out its mouth.

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

'''MATT:''' It looked really awful, like this poor bird was choking on a, electrical plug.

'''MIKE:''' Wait. Where'd the sticker go? Is the sticker still supposed to be on there?

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh it's gone— where'd it go right now?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's completely gone.

'''MIKE:''' That's a goof.

'''MATT:''' Inconsistence.

'''MIKE:''' I like that, The Paper though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{slight pause}'' I don't have anything.

''{slight pause because Matt thinks the email is over}''

'''MIKE:''' We're not there yet. We're not there yet.

'''MATT:''' Ooh!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Let's let it all slip away, with another soothing episode of: Characters from Yonder Website. That's right. ''{these words are added in quotes at the bottom}'' Brought to you by a grant from: GreenCheat. ''{the GreenCheat logo appears on screen}'' And our corporate sponsors: Smarty Juice. ''{a bottle of "Swirly Font Flavored" Smarty Juice replaces the GreenCheat logo}'' And Faceless Megacorp, ''{a simple, circular logo with the words "Faceless Megacorp" and some black and white hills replaces the Smarty Juice}'' with a couple of hills in the logo. Look at those hills. Plant some crops... and grow some smarty juice plants. ''{as he says this, crop lines appear on one of the hills, from which dozens of plants sprout, each bearing bottles of Smarty Juice}'' Alright, far out.

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, what's this?

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Slow down, little buddy!

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sounds like Character 2... has lost his gumption.

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, you know what that means. We gotta get him a little... spice o' life. That's right. Let's go on an inordinately long walk.

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' With absolutely... no talking.

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I said, with absolutely... no talking.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I think that's inordinate enough. And take a look! It's Characters 3 through 7! I say there, Characters 3 through 7, Character 2 here... has lost his gumption.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's right. Not far out. Can any of you teach him a little bit o' spice?

'''CHARACTER 3:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You got a little spice. And character 5!

'''CHARACTER 5:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You got your own spice!

'''CHARACTER 7:'''

'''CHARACTER 6:'''

'''CHARACTER 4:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Why, it almost seems like everybody's... got their own personal type of spice.

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe if we put them all together, we can create—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! You know what that chime means. It's time for everyone... to bend at the knees. That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{singing}'' The time has come... to bend at the knees... So I invite you, everybody, no pressure, put your mind at ease.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Uh, Strong Bad? ''{music stops, Character 1 and Character 2 look around}'' Homestar?

''{Cut to Basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is passed out on the couch, with the Cheat's arm sticking out from under the far cushion, Strong Mad's legs sticking out from behind the couch, Homestar's leg sticking up over the back, and Coach Z's arm hanging down from the ceiling. Bottles of Smarty Juice litter the room.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{enters from left}'' You guys? ''{stops}'' Whaaaaaaaat is going ''on'' in here? Were you guys drinking this— ''{picks up bottle from couch, squints at label}'' —"Smarty Juice"? This stuff expired in 2007! ''{squints again}'' It says, side effects include—

''{View of label, which reads, "Side Effect May Include: Drowsiness, Euphoria, & Unbelievably Soothing Children's Programming"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —"Drowsiness, Euphoria, and Unbelievably Soothing ''{cuts to close up of Strong Sad}'' Children's Programming". Hm. Doesn't sound half bad. ''{wide shot}'' Down the hatch! Down the hatch. ''{gulps down contents of bottle}''

''{Cut to close up of Strong Sad, who turns to camera. His eyes and mouth shrink with deflating balloon sound effect. A thought balloon with image of a coffee mug with a picture of a dagger appears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Mope mope, mope-mope-mope-mope-mope mope, ''mope'' mope mope mope mope. ''{starts to fall backwards}''

''{Wide shot. Strong Sad slowly tilts backwards, making a soft whining noise. Suddenly falls over with a crash, leaving the Smarty Juice bottle to spin in the air, before bouncing off the couch off to the left, then crashing on Strong Sad's (presumably) head.}''

''{Cut back to light blue background. The text "that's right" writes itself in the center.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's right.

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "that's right" at the end for an extra scene.
:''{Back in Yonder Website, Characters 1 through 7 are again bending their knees, now joined by Character 8.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{singing}'' The time has come... to bend at the knees... So I invite you, everybody, no pressure, put your mind at ease. Oh, girl, I'm gonna take you out, on a Tuesday night (if you're into it), so everybody, style it out from the left... to the right, that's right.

''{Cut to close up of Strong Sad, who turns to camera. His eyes and mouth shrink with deflating balloon sound effect. A thought balloon with image of a coffee mug with a picture of a dagger appears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mope mope, mope-mope-mope-mope-mope mope, ''mope'' mope mope mope mope. ''{starts to fall backwards}''

''{Wide shot. Strong Sad slowly tilts backwards, making a soft whining noise. Suddenly falls over with a crash, leaving the Smarty Juice bottle to spin in the air, before bouncing off the couch off to the left, then crashing on Strong Sad's (presumably) head.}''

''{Cut back to light blue background. The text "that's right" writes itself in the center.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's right.

==Transcript==
{{transcriptinprogress|Neumannz}}

''{Open to a light blue background, with soft music playing. The title slowly zooms out: a banner reading "characters from yonder website", and a bubble featuring cartoony stylizations of Strong Bad and Homestar Runner. Throughout, Strong Bad speaks in a soft, relaxed tone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Let's let it all slip away, with another soothing episode of: Characters from Yonder Website. That's right. ''{these words are added in quotes at the bottom}'' Brought to you by a grant from: GreenCheat. ''{the GreenCheat logo appears on screen}'' And our corporate sponsors: Smarty Juice. ''{a bottle of "Swirly Font Flavored" Smarty Juice replaces the GreenCheat logo}'' And Faceless Megacorp, ''{a simple, circular logo with the words "Faceless Megacorp" and some black and white hills replaces the Smarty Juice}'' with a couple of hills in the logo. Look at those hills. Plant some crops... and grow some smarty juice plants. ''{as he says this, crop lines appear on one of the hills, from which dozens of plants sprout, each bearing bottles of Smarty Juice}'' Alright, far out.

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, what's this?

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Slow down, little buddy!

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sounds like Character 2... has lost his gumption.

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, you know what that means. We gotta get him a little... spice o' life. That's right. Let's go on an inordinately long walk.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' With absolutely... no talking.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I said, with absolutely... no talking.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I think that's inordinate enough. And take a look! It's Characters 3 through 7! I say there, Characters 3 through 7, Character 2 here... has lost his gumption.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's right. Not far out. Can any of you teach him a little bit o' spice?

'''CHARACTER 3:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You got a little spice. And character 5!

'''CHARACTER 5:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You got your own spice!

'''CHARACTER 7:'''

'''CHARACTER 6:'''

'''CHARACTER 4:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Why, it almost seems like everybody's... got their own personal type of spice.

'''CHARACTER 1:'''

'''CHARACTER 2:'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe if we put them all together, we can create—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! You know what that chime means. It's time for everyone... to bend at the knees. That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{singing}'' The time has come... to bend at the knees... So I invite you, everybody, no pressure, put your mind at ease.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Uh, Strong Bad? ''{music stops, Character 1 and Character 2 look around}'' Homestar?

''{Cut to Basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is passed out on the couch, with the Cheat's arm sticking out from under the far cushion, Strong Mad's legs sticking out from behind the couch, Homestar's leg sticking up over the back, and Coach Z's arm hanging down from the ceiling.

Neumannz: /* Mmm, Dog Pudding */

== Cleanup ==

Now that this has been released on YouTube, this should be a real page. I copied the text straight from the temporary page. We need to add images and YouTube watch links. The intro could be reworked, and we should probably break those long paragraphs up a bit. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:15, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

== Transcript Templates ==

In case anyone was wondering what all the [[Help:ParserFunctions|<nowiki>{{#ifeq:}}s</nowiki>]] and <nowiki><noinclude>s were all about, I was trying to make it so that typing {{:Skills of an Artist|1}} would show the first episode transcript, {{:Skills of an Artist|3}}</nowiki> would show the third, and so on. This way, we won't have to edit both this page and [[User:Purple Wrench/sandbox]] (soon [[@StrongBadActual]]) if we needed to change the transcript. I'm having trouble getting this to work. Could anyone help? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 06:06, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

== Episode Transcripts ==

It appears that there are a handful of these episodes now. Would it make sense to make a separate page for each episode and create a category for them? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 01:33, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
:I was originally against this idea, but that was before they started putting them on YouTube. With all these new episodes coming out all the time, getting more and more complicated, I think it might be the best and most organized option. After all, we have individual pages for [[Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee|other YouTube videos]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:54, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
::You know what, the more I think about it, the more I like this idea. Definite '''support.''' {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 05:32, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

== Mmm, Dog Pudding ==

When I was originally transcribing End Boss, there was no question in my mind that Stinkoman said "dog doody". So when anonny {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Skills_of_an_Artist&diff=769167&oldid=769162 made his pudding edit}}, I was all set to revert... but I gave it another listen, and lo and behold now I hear "pudding" every time. Which admittedly makes a lot less sense. Now it's clear that not everyone hears the same thing. What does everyone think? Is it "doody", or "pudding"? {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 11:22, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

:I have been hearing 'pudding' from the get-go, myself. And considering Stinkoman's speech patterns, past encounter with 'pudding', and Sticklyman's role as a 20X6 Poopsmith, I think it's right in character. --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 15:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

[[File:TwitterSOAA.png|thumb|"Welcome back to another Skills of an Artist!"]]
'''Skills of an Artist''' is a series of [[live action]] step-by-step instructional drawing videos posted regularly on [[Strong Bad]]'s [[@StrongBadActual|Twitter account]]. The series is based on the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dragon]] (and even uses the same music), and is typically released every week or two, usually on Wednesday. All videos feature a real Strong Bad-like boxing glove holding a marker, drawing on a whiteboard that looks like lined paper, explaining throughout. He frequently [[Glossary|makes up words]] to describe shapes, such as "side-take" for the outline at the side of an object, or "squishtangle" for the shape of a slice of bread. Earlier videos were filmed in one shot, while later videos use occasional cuts and fades. Most of the time, the drawing increasingly gets more exaggerated over the course of the video. For example, a sandwich eventually becomes Strong Bad eating a sandwich with a giant pig's head in it, and Strong Sad's severed soolnd becomes a chefs' bathroom.

</includeonly>'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome back to another "Skills of an Artist"! ''{the title appears on screen}'' Today, I'm gonna teach you guys how to draw... a sammich! ''{quickly, disinterested}'' I make drawing fun! ''{normally}'' We start out with... a squishtangle. ''{draws three sides of a rough parallelogram, making sound effects as he does so, omitting the top}'' First we drew the tangles... ''{darkens his first line}'' ...and then we give it the squish. ''{draws a loop that closes off the top of the shape}'' Kinda looks like a chef's hat... moving rapidly this way... ''{gestures right}'' Preeow! And now, to give it some depth, we add four shortened pizangs. ''{draws lines that make up the edges and sides of the bread}'' Aw, look at that. ''{adds hatching lines across the sides of the bread}'' That piece of bread is jumpin' right off the page! And now, we add some dotties ''{adds several dots to the top of the bread}'' that are like the air bubbles from the leavening process... y'know what I'm sayin'? Now for the toppings. ''{starts adding a spiky shape around the bread, resembling lettuce}'' First we do some lettuce... kinda looks like the bread is being electrocuted... ''{makes sizzling noises}'' And now we'll put on the meats. ''{starts drawing loops around the edges}'' We got some salami... some pastrami... and some seasoned fortulami... Look at that. Spillin' all out on the sides... And now for the main course, which is a severed pig's head. ''{draws the outline of a very large pig's head below everything else}'' Here it comes. Oh, Oinkers! It had to be done... ''{gives the pig X'd out eyes}'' ...to make forth my sammich. And uh, you know. I like to reattach the tail... ''{draws a curly pig tail connected to the back of its head}'' ...to the head. For dramatic effect. Okay, so, this is not very centered on the page... Put the bottom slice of bread... ''{draws a quick bread slice underneath the head}'' And up here, it's gonna be me! ''{draws a large oval just above the sammich, and starts crudely drawing his face on it}'' I'unno. Somebody gotta eat this sammich. ''{makes sound effects as he draws, then draws a disproportionately large open mouth with teeth}'' Look at that hideous maw! Ready to chew down on some tender jowls. ''{draws round boxing gloves around the sammich and adds shading to the inside of the mouth}'' And that's how you draw a ham sammich. ''{starts writing "THAT'S IT!!" next to his drawing}'' So... that's it! See you next time for more "Skills of an Artist"!

''{sings in a exaggeratedly nasal voice}'' I make drawing fun! ''{normal voice}'' Here we go! First of all, we need to make a squanched oval for the top. ''{draws an oval}'' Squaaanch it out... and then inside, a similar squanched oval. ''{draws another oval inside the first}'' Or it kinda looks like a squished Strong Sad head. ''{draws Strong Sad eyes in the first oval and fills in the second to look like a mouth; imitating Strong Sad}'' Ohh, ohhh, I've been squaaanched! ''{normal voice}'' Look, we can turn this into... what we need! ''{turns the Strong Sad eyes into two curvy lines, and draws the same curvy lines on the other side}'' These are just some of the rimulets... of the different plies of TP. All right. Now a couple of side-takes. ''{draws the sides of the toilet paper}'' And then, a bottom close-'em-up. ''{draws the bottom}'' Look at that. It's already coming together. Now, so this thing is unfurling. ''{draws two curvy lines on the right side}'' Look at that. Curve-'em-ups... curve-'em-ups... and another side-take! ''{draws the side of the paper}'' See that? And look, this is a little... scrimmage piece, ''{draws a dotted line on the paper}'' so the perforation is right here. I don't know who ripped it off... in between perfs. ''{draws a zigzag on the edge of the paper so it appears to be ripped in half}'' But that person can no longer use my toilets. ''{draws another dotted line on the roll}'' All right... look at this thing! Now, we've got to make it posh. The only way to do that, you guessed it, is an ascot! ''{begins to draw an ascot below the roll}'' Oh man... this thing is totally wearin' an ascot! Look at tha— huh? You know what, nevermind. It's a kitty. ''{draws whiskers, eyes, and cat ears on the ascot}'' Let's just make it a kitty. ''{draws arms holding up the toilet paper}'' Ohh, this kitty! He's holding up some toilet paper! Do it, kitty! So there you have it. What could be more posh than having a cat give you your toilet paper for each wipe? See you next time! ''{cut to black}''

''{fills in the hole}'' Gotta tell 'em, "juuust be patient! It's not gonna be ooh-lips!"

''{Fade to later; the picture has shading and some new details.}''

I make drawing, dot-dot-dot! ''{video cut}'' Everybody, ''{draws two rough vertical lines next to each other}'' side-take your hearts out! ''{makes sound effects for the second line}'' And then we do a close-'em-up here... ''{draws a curved bottom of the shape}'' Look like a little smile... just a... teeny smile... hrrmm? ''{video cut}'' And now, some vaunted humps. ''{draws two hump shapes connected to the bottom}'' These are his weird, giant, chitinous toenails. Now, let's sever this mug! Okay. ''{starts drawing a zig-zagged, curved line, closing the top off}'' I'd definitely use the serrated knife... so let's make the incision here... oh yeah, that looks so good... ''{draws a smoother curve within the zig-zagged line; video cut; he starts drawing a cartoon-y bone sticking out of the severed surface}'' Now, here's his tib... fibula... leg... it's his leg bone. ''{video cut; he has now closed off the top completely and added curved lines surrounding the bone}'' And, you couldn't make a cut like that without— ''{draws a drip down the side of the leg}'' eurrh, a little mess. Just a little mess. ''{video cut; he has now added hatch shading to the leg, toenails, and bone}'' Uh, since this is Strong Sad, it's gonna be casting a pall. ''{draws a shadow off to the right out of hatch lines}'' Look at that pall. ''{darkens it with a squiggly line; video cut}'' But you can't leave a drawing like this lying around your house! What if Mom comes in? So, now we get clever! ''{video cut; he adds dots resembling doorknobs to the toenails}'' Okay, let's see, here's a doorknob... ''{adds vertical lines down the "doors"}'' Oh, these are some lovely... wooden doors... ''{video cut; he has added a rectangle above them}'' These are... the chefs'... bafrooms...

</includeonly>'''STRONG BAD:''' On today's Skills of an Artist, we're gonna draw one of my ''{title appears onscreen}'' oft-requested specialties: the ''{prounouncing the "c"}'' muscleman. Here we go! We start with a little seagull... ''{draws two wide humps in a basic seagull shape}'' Caw, caw! And a reflection of that seagull. ''{draws a mirrored seagull shape underneath}'' And he's spitting on his reflection... ''{draws a vertical line from the center point of the first seagull down through the second one}'' And now an underjohn. ''{draws an upside-down bump from the second seagull, passing through the vertical line}'' And a second-tier underjohn. ''{adds a smaller one underneath}'' And a third-tier underjohn! ''{adds a third, even smaller}'' And now for to fill out these abs... ''{starts drawing bumpy lines to either side of the "underjohns"}'' some cheese curds. And some more cheese curds there. ''{He has now drawn two "cheese curds" on either side, and the drawing now resembles a heavily muscular chest}'' Aw, that's lookin' pretty good. Now let's do his arms... ''{starts drawing the sides of large, muscular arms, with small bumps in between the muscles}'' you got these little... points wherever his joints come together when the muscles just pinch up 'cause they'res under such strain. ''{draws in the other sides of the arms and adds in small hands}'' Don't forget to give him super-tiny hands to make the muscles look even bigger by comparison. And now let's add some shiny bulge...uals. ''{draws small "bulge" curves on each arm muscle}'' But nothing accents muscles more than bulging veins! ''{draws veins on the upper right arm}'' Here's the slanterior canal veinal... ''{draws veins on the upper left arm}'' and the ulterior canal veinal. And then the neck hump. ''{starts drawing a large hump on top of the body}'' Musclemans don't have necks, they got neck humps! ''{draws a small, ovular head in the middle of the hump}'' It's not a hunchback, it's a neck hump. ''{adds a simple, bland face}'' Now if there's one thing I know about drawing musclemans, it's that you don't want to draw anything below the belt. ''{draws a horizontal line at the muscleman's waist level}'' So let's put him in front of a desk! ''{adds more straight lines in front of the muscleman, resembling a table or desk}'' Couple sheets of paper there; maybe he's hosting a talk show... ''{draws sheets of paper on the desk}'' Or struggling his way through a two-page exam. "Oh, this new-patient paperwork is ''so'' hard to fill out!" And last, let's give him some convulsing bundles. ''{adds motion lines near the muscleman's arms, then around his neck hump; he accidentally erases part of the stomach}'' As his skin strains to hold back the tidal wave of musculature. And I accidentally erased that part. I mean— I di— that was on purpose!

Neumannz: /* So uh... */

== Verbosity in edit summaries, or: [[3 Wishes|Geez, I didn't need your freaking life story, man]] ==

Dear SRMX12, thanks for helping build the Homestar Runner Wiki! You're doing a great jorb. I wanted to take a sec to talk about your edit summaries. First of all, this is not a complaint! It's just an observation and a couple of suggestions. Feel free to disregard everything I say. So, with that in mind, let me just point out that your edit summaries are very thorough—the most thorough I've seen on this wiki. If there were a prize for that, you'd win it. Now, given the choice between too much and too little, we'd definitely prefer a wordy edit summary over one that was blank or didn't properly cover the edit, but there is a sweet spot that dare I say you're overshooting. You're at about a 9, when you could get by with a 3. Just to pick an example, instead of "At one point someone had 'Pom Pom' as 'Pom-Pom'. I deleted the hyphen," you could put "deleted hyphen" and it would be just as effective. Complete sentences and emphasis on the first person are not necessary—again, they're not wrong, just superfluous maybe. If you're adding content, it's assumed that you're the one doing it (who else would be?) and that the content you're adding is relevant to the page. A bare-bones summary is usually plenty and easier to read (see the example below). If a reviewer needs more info, he or she can click on the diff link to see exactly what you did.

Let me also point out a cool feature of MediaWiki. Whenever you edit a specific section (by clicking the little edit link next to the section instead of the main one at the top of the page), the system wraps the section heading <code>/* Like so */</code>, and it automatically generates a link to that section. (You can also do it manually.) So, for example, this summary:

: ''In the "Homestar's Shoes" section, I added the appearance of one of Homestar's shoes in the new Halloween toon.''

could be rewritten like this code:

: <code>/* Homestar's Shoes */ added new Halloween toon</code>

and would show up like this in the page history:

: ''[[Homestar Runner's Pants#Homestar's Shoes|→]]Homestar's Shoes: added new Halloween toon''

Clicking that little arrow jumps straight to the section. This also works on any page with an <code>id</code> in the code (like [[Minor Foods]]). Typing <code>/* Turduckens */</code> at the beginning of the edit summary would make a link to that spot in the table.

Again, I'm not trying to discourage you from writing lengthy summaries if that's your thing (they do have a certain quaint style). I just don't want you to think that you ''have'' to or that they're necessarily better than short summaries. It's one of those things you might not think about unless someone pointed it out, so I did. Cheers, and keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:07, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

:Yeah, I'm sorry about my wordy summaries. I just thought it would be best to be specific so that people would know what I'd changed. I'll keep your advice in mind... I just tend to be a little wordy in general when I write stuff. (I'm sure some of my friends are sick of the long emails I send them sometimes.)

:Thanks for [[Weclome Back|weclom]]ing me to the Homestar Runner Wiki!

:-SRMX12

::I'm a bit late to the wecloming party, but seeing as how you only got an ''implied'' weclome, I thought I'd give you a clearer one. So... weclome. Exclamation points abounding.

::And it looks like you're making some really good contributions to the wiki. Having not been able to check on pages as much lately, I too thank you for helping out.

::Finally, I would like to say that <del>I take offense to what [[User:It's dot com]] said</del> <ins>being verbose can be useful,</ins> but it depends on what you do with it. I often make ''very'' verbose edit summaries, but they don't simply repeat what I did. The best reason to leave a long summary is to explain ''why'' you did something, if it can't be made clear by checking the history or surrounding context. [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=SBCG4AP_Advertisement&diff=prev&oldid=752461 Here's a really good example] where it '''is''' possible to find out why based on the history, but the amount of backtracking necessary is immense (plus, the people on the site in 2015 aren't always the same people who were here in 2008). Or, make it verbose to add some humor, that's what I do most often, prob'ly doesn't work too well... *trails off*

::But seriously, Happy editing! Talkatcha later, --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 05:09, 21 December 2015 (UTC) come back, It's dot com, i didn't mean what i said

== The Game ==

[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/92093757/ This] is awesome! Can't wait to see the finished version. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 03:42, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

:Thanks!! I'm glad to know that I'll have at least one Homestar Runner fan that'll appreciate my game when it's complete. :D

:Remember, if you're interested, keep checking the '''[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/92093757/ teaser]''' for updates! The "blog" in the ''Notes and Credits'' section will keep you informed on SBAG4CP's development. I'll also be adding the rest of the main characters to the teaser, as well as giving everyone dialogue when you click on them.

:'K, that's my spiel. Thanks again for showing interest!

:-SRMX12

== To sign ==

Hey there, SRMX12. I've noticed that you've been manually typing out your name every time you write a talk post. An easier way is to simply sign your post by ending it with 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). It'll automatically create a link to your userpage as well as including the date and time when the post was made. Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:30, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

== Your personal images ==

Really sorry to tell you this, SRMX12, but you're only allowed to have [[HRWiki:Personal images|two personal images on your userpage]] (plus one really tiny image for your signature). You currently have [[:File:hr pompom.png|hr pompom.png]] and [[:File:sbag4cp.png|sbag4cp.png]] as your two personal images, and you also uploaded a third image, [[:File:sbag4ap_lappier.png|sbag4ap lappier.png]], which is not counted as one of your personal images.

Since you can only have two, you will need to get rid of one of them. If you choose to get rid of "sbag4ap lappier.png", you can [[HRWiki:Cleanup#Pages Needing Deletion|mark it for deletion]]. Or, you can [[HRWiki:Personal images|abandon]] one of the other images and then mark "sbag4ap lappier.png" as a personal image.

Now, which one you get rid of is up to you. However, if I may make a recommendation, I would abandon "hr pompom.png". I am shocked that an image like that isn't found elsewhere on the wiki (at least, not that I can tell), but it's an image from a toon on homestarrunner.com itself. The other two are images you made yourself, so there's no way they would be used for any other reason on this wiki.

Two things to make your life easier:
#You can display any image that is found elsewhere on the wiki on your page, and it won't count as a personal image.
#Notice how many images I have on [[User:Purple Wrench|my userpage]]. None of them are my personal images. I uploaded them all to a Google Sites page and then linked to them.

But yes, please take one of the images off your userpage and mark it for deletion / as abandoned at your earliest convenience. Good luck witchasself and Happy Decemberween, --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 19:27, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
:Hey there! Well, you removed one of the images and that's great! Now you have two personal images on your userpage. That doesn't really fix anything though; you still have 3 personal images, but one just isn't in use. You still need to go to sbag4ap lappier.png and either abandon it or mark the image for deletion. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:33, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
::Since you apparently haven't marked your image after these two talks, I've abandoned it for you. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 20:43, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

== SRMX12's Lament ==

Hey there, SRMX12! I think that your recent active edits to your user page for your "SBAG4CP Development Blog" are violating HRWiki rules. Now, on the this Wiki, [[HRWiki:User_Pages#What_should_I_avoid.3F|weblogs related to your non-Homestar Runner Wiki activities are prohibited on your user page]]. And since SBAG4CP is not related to the HRWiki in any way and you've done an edit every day to the blog, I believe that your small little blog is against the rules and should not be on your user page or on the HRWiki. Though, I'm not a sysop, so maybe I'm wrong... - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:03, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
:I'm really sorry if I'm doing something against the rules. I'm relatively new here, and I guess I thought that a person could write anything on their user page as long as it was appropriate. Also, I'm not entirely certain what qualifies as a weblog and what doesn't, but I don't really consider this as a legitimate blog... if this isn't allowed, then is my [[User:SRMX12#Strong Bad's Attractive Game for Cool People|earlier section about the game]] allowed?
:I'm not sure if you're right about this either, but again, I 'pologize if I'm breaking any rules.
:-SRMX12
::Having a small section about your game is fine; it's a part of you and a project you have. Several users, even some sysops, have parts on their user pages about some of their external projects. However, your weblog is still a weblog, even if it's fictional. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:30, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
:::To elaborate on what you said, I've taken looks at a bunch of other users' pages, and like you said, a lot of them have pretty long sections that have absolutely nothing to do with [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. Quite a lot of them are longer than my humble made-up blog. I have trouble understanding why it's just weblogs that are frowned upon. If it's about the number of edits I've been doing, could you explain to me why that's a problem?
:::Until this is resolved, I won't do any more edits to my blog, but I'm hesitant to delete it until I understand why it's being condemned.
:::-SRMX12
::::It seems that my intuition is correct and I'm absolute trash at typing.
::::What I mean basically, is that it's fine to have non-H*RWiki-type stuffs on your User Page, but the constant updates are making me question whether or not your fake "blog" still qualifies as a "blog" by HRWiki standards since it's still a web log of actions, even if they're fake.
::::A way around this is doing something like [[User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc|Gfd]] and every once in a while, update your userpage with some fun stuff. However, updates that are literally daily on some occasions could fall under the "no web logs not related to the HRwiki" rule.
::::tl;dr You're fine fine, but add your posts in batches spaced apart and don't post them daily. (you should be fine if you do that) - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:11, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::[[business trip|Oh. Oh, I see.]] [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks|That's pretty great.]] Thanks! I'm glad we could get that resolved. I'm not updating ''daily'', anyway-- just when I make a major-ish update to [https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/92093757/ the game]. But I'll follow your advice and post in batches. [[Preeeeow]]!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we need the crispity-crust of what's goin' on here. Why would it be "burned" and not "engraved"? Is there a better word than the both?
Trunks to you,
X Y

:Well, "engraved" means "carved". Like in a stone and such. The words "DEAR STRONG BAD" were not carved into the toast-- if you look at it, they're burn marks. I hope that clears things up. Also, do you have an account? --{{User:SRMX12/sig}} 15:43, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

== Run-ons ==

Hey; nice catch on that run-on in [[Where's The Cheat?]]. I noticed in the edit summary that you linked to your user page in a fairly pointed manner to reference something you wrote a few months ago regarding something you fixed that was originally added in the infancy of the wiki. While you were right to fix it, there's no way the user who added it could have seen your expression of irritation about the subject. So, keep up the good work, but maybe loosen up a bit. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 06:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
:Oh... that's not what I meant. I'm sorry if my edit summary seemed harsh or hostile to you— I guess it was— but I was more joking than anything else. I knew there was no way that whoever that was had seen my user page; I was just making a reference to it to emphasize my dislike of run-ons. In general, my edit summaries can seem sort of harsh, but I'm usually joking. But I suppose I should try to lighten up. {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 10:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
::For the record, while Knights may have missed it, I read it (and most of your other summaries as well), with the jocularity intended. Didn't strike me as out of place. Wouldn't even have thought to comment here if it hadn't been brought up. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:35, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
:::It's fine. Really I just saw an excuse to write a really small revision number in the edit summary, and I thought that was funny. All things aside, thanks for fixing the mistake that has been there for almost twelve years. Good prize. Ding! {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 18:45, 30 March 2016 (UTC) [[File:pumpkin.PNG|200px|right]]

== I'm a song from the huddled mass. ==

This might not be a strong enough connection to actually put on the page, so I wanted to get people's input first. The cadence and tone of the line "I'm a huddled mass" very much reminded me of the way Strong Bad delivered Homsar's lines during the fake interview in [[interview]]. Anyone else think so? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:44, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
:I can't really see the resemblance, and really, a non-sequitur sentence doesn't really correlate to Homsar. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
::I said "cadence and tone" not "it happens to be a non-sequitur". And in any case, if "a non-sequitur sentence doesn't really correlate to Homsar", then "a guy who spends a bunch of time editing a wiki about dumb animal characters when he really ought to be doing other things" doesn't correlate to me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

::::::Ah, but it also correlates to a lot of Strong Sad's lines, as well as Strong Bad's attempts to mock Strong Sad. Compare it to "[[Compy Catalog|That was the happiest I've ever been]]", for example. That said, correlation does not equal causation.

== Ad-VER-tiss-ment? ==

It's probably not typical of the Chaps to make reference to Internet memes in H*R cartoons, but the Questionable Surgeon's pronunciation of "Ad-VER-tiss-ment" is oddly reminiscent of how the announcer says it in this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-3qncy5Qfk (key line: "We interrupt this adVERtisment to BLOW YOUR MIND!") --[[User:96.225.193.131|96.225.193.131]] 00:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

::Technically, and the only reason I bring this up is because it's a common mistake that I and a lot of people have made, it's NOT [[TTATOT]], because there is no "that" or "other thing" that it might be referencing. It's just not a reference, like Matt said. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 02:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

:"Ad-VER-tis-ment" is the ''common'' pronunciation of the word here...

::I think the idea here is that in the U.S., the pronunciation "ad-VER-tis-ment" is considered rather snooty when compared to the more common "AD-ver-tize-ment." It's rarely heard here, and when it is, it's often used by people catering to the upper class with their wares, so, um...I'm getting off-topic. Anyway, yes, it ''is'' the most common pronunciation in basically every English-speaking country in the world except the U.S., but, um...when has that ever stopped us from making a long-standing joke about other cultures?

:As you know, we don't really "vote" here (except in a desperate situation) - we build consensus. I think the fact that Strong Bad voices it, it is exactly the same except the wig, and it's simply really funny that way (Marzipan is "so" the only girl they have to dress up a male as a girl for Bubs to have a movie date), all point to this being the old Lord with a wig on. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

== Does sbemail206 need an "Email" prefix before it when referenced on the Wiki ==

A small inconsistency that's going on in this Wiki right now when adding references to this sbemail on other pages is that some include an "Email" prefix and some don't when internally linking to the sbemail206 article. Since it has sbemail in the name, does it need a prefix? There's been no real official or community stance on this and you can see a lot of instances of this on several pages. I, myself, think that it doesn't need one since it already has a sbemail prefix in its name, so adding another "Email" prefix would be redundant and unnecessary. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 16:38, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
