==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over guitar music}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows, on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in 
an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender containing a [[Nintendo]] Game Boy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeing The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' What? I— I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything except him and the swirl turns black and white. Strong Bad distorts horizontally and vertically, then "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip with a number of buildings drawn in it. A caption at the top of the panel reads "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding...

''{Camera shifts to the next panel, which shows an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. While in the comic, everything Strong Bad says is also shown in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says also appears in a speech bubble, and is not lip-synced.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad appears in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is shown from the chest up in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman appears in front of a red background with his arms in the air. A thunderclap can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. A kitchen and bathroom sink are shown with the faucets running. The bathroom tap has the word "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump!

''{He falls down three panels. There is a woman with a big knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of a cable running through a hole in the wall.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat?

''{Cut back to the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice is slightly distorted, and a speech bubble appears from the swirl}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat turns around and turns on the blender. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" with which he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared, but flipped around and with a green background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to the Old-Timey stage. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on the stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him is a sign that reads "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". An audience can be seen silhouetted at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of gray tomatoes!

''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

''{As Vector Strong Bad speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP.

''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "UP", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator!

''{Cut back to previous view.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth. Stinkoman jumps around and dodges the squares. Strong Bad also jumps over and around the squares, but appears to have more difficulty doing so. Game music from [[video games]] plays. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his Dangeresque sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. The Fat Bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left in a bathing suit. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{he half-runs toward the root beer and jumps in}'' Jump! ''{this last word does not appear in a subtitle}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and dances while playing a tune.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Stop Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other. After a moment, Strong Bad disappears again.}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Stripéd pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to the interdimensional void, which changes colors constantly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room. The blender still contains the Game Boy, but now also contains a green substance. One and a half avocados are sitting on the desk, along with a jar that reads "Total Load". Homestar is pressing buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the portal and Strong Badman appears on the left side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses another button on the blender. He and the portal both suddenly disappear, and Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a supergroup and record a number one jam!

''{All of the Strong Bad clones groan.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{off-screen, simultaneously with Old-Timey Strong Bad}'' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously with Stinkoman}'' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of e-mails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

''{Cut to Stinkoman standing next to Strong Badman and Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{singing}'' I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl! 

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad winces and looks toward Stinkoman on his last word. Cut to a zoomed out view of the scene, revealing (from left to right), Stinkoman, Strong Badman, Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Bad, Vector Strong Bad, Keyboard Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage, Teenage Strong Bad, Sterrance and Tiny Handed Strong Bad. Strong Badman's words appear in speech bubbles next to him.}''

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

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas from [[Sbemail 150?!?]]:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to a close-up of the pear with its eyes googling, then to another shot of the pear from behind Coach Z with his arm raised higher. Then cut to a close-up of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the original shot. Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{distressed}'' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants!

*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen and echoing slightly}'' Aw, man!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsaparilla]] (spelled incorrectly as "sarsparilla" in the flashback scene) is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. It is more commonly pronounced "sass-parilla" than "sar-sparilla" or "sar-sa-parilla". It is also commonly misspelled "sasparilla".
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed too high. Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*A freemason is a member of a fraternal men's organization such as the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]] or the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]]. Other organizations permitting women and/or minors as members, including [[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc., also fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]]. Drinks containing electrolytes, such as popular sports drinks, are often used to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.
*The "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" may be a reference to old cartoons of the 1930s through 1960s that involve characters going through the center of the earth in some way or another and coming out on the other side, ending up in China.
*A [[Wikipedia:Supergroup (music)|Supergroup]] is a musical group comprising artists who were previously members of earlier, well-known groups.

===Trivia===
*This email was the longest email when released, almost a full minute longer than [[flashback]] (previously the longest). However, [[retirement]] is longer.
*When Strong Bad jumps down several panels in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel containing an explosion (with the word "TADAOW!"), and another panel with [[Deutschman]] (from [[haircut]]) holding a chain of sausages. Deutschman is saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*"Doge" can also mean, as stated in the dictionary, "the chief magustraeir in the former rebublics of Venice and Genoa".
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".
*This is the first time Stinkoman has been seen smiling without laughing.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears, despite the fact that those body parts were mentioned in this email.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|rare]] occasion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the [[Strong Sad's Guitar|guitar]] [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*Although it can be argued whether or not Stinkoman has actually smiled before, this is the first time his mouth has been recognizably smile-shaped.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.
*This is the first time we hear the Da Huuuuuudge's voice.
*Frappé is spelled as "Frappe" when Strong Bad talks to The Cheat. It is lacking the accent.
*In the recording studio, the characters are using wireless microphones. While wireless microphones are handy in live performance (to prevent signal loss on a long cable run, as well as to avoid tangling of cables), they are actually rarely used in studio work because a cabled microphone will deliver truer fidelity.
*Homestar pronounces the word "fruit" without his usual speech impediment.
*During the Vector Strong Bad segment, the cartoon's border changes to red.
*Not all Strong Bad versions were included, such as his PBTC version.

[[Image:Altuniv1318-1319.png|thumb|From blue to green.]]
*When Strong Bad gets the root beer, the hole is now under the hammock; before, it was beside the hammock.

===Goofs===
*During the "Because, mere mortal" comic scene, the panel below the next panel has a blue background. In the next scene ("Is rent controlled!"), that panel now has a green background.
*The second time everyone says "Save the last email for Strong Bad", you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (Compare to Keyboard Strong Bad standing next to him.)
**This happens a few times in the email, such as when Strong Bad meets Vector Strong Bad.
*During the recording session at the end, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the Alternate Universe Portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping. It briefly reappears after Strong Bad leaves, but for the remainder of the email, the stool is missing.
*After cutting to the wide shot showing The Cheat with the blender, the Lappy's screen includes the text "Isn't that right, The Cheat?", even though Strong Bad didn't actually type it.

[[Image:Alternateuniversegoof.png|thumb|Disappearing start line.]]
*In the "Save The Last Email" song, Vector Strong Bad is behind Strong Badman, yet his white and green lines appear above Strong Badman when talking/singing.
*In the "Dig to China with your ears contest" part, the starting line disappears when the camera cuts to the giant mug of root beer.
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad's reflection and himself are unsynchronized.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad saying that the "dig to China with your ears contest" is the second or third to worst contest he's ever heard of is a reference to [[bottom 10]], where his least favorite contest is the "dry t-shirt" type of contest.
*Strong Bad's intro song refers to flipping [[the bird]].
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string classical guitar.
[[Image:HSRTimeMachine.PNG|thumb|Homestar's Time machine]]
*The alternate dimension machine is a [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|Game Boy in a Blender]]. In [[2 emails]], Homestar claims to have made a time machine by sticking a Game Boy in a [[Blender|blender]] while the email is fast-forwarding.
*This is another example of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Deutschman originated in [[haircut]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]] and played the same song then as in this email. 
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "stripèd pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*In addition, some of the music accompanying the scenes Strong Bad visits are also reused from other parts of the website. They include:
**The music from [[action figure]]; later used in [[suntan]] and [[army]] (during the Strong Badman scene).
**Old-Timey Strong Bad's theme music from [[Parsnips A-Plenty]]; later used in [[50 emails]] (during the Old-Timey scene).
**[[The Homestar Runner]]'s dance music (also during the Old-Timey scene).
**The synthesized drum tune from [[Main Page 21]] (during the [[Vector Field]] scene).
**The music from [[flashback]] (during the [[Original Book]] scene).
**Keyboard Strong Bad's demo music from [[crazy cartoon]].
**The weird music during Coach Z's dream scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]]; later used in [[lures & jigs]] (during the fishing Easter egg scene with Senor Cardgage).
**The creepy music during Strong Sad's storyboard scenes from [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (during the Coach Z Easter egg).
*The fence used for the puppet Strong Badia set is the same one used in [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Also, the word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in Sbemail 150?!?.
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*The woman on Strong Badman's television is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells the word "dog" ("dawg") the same way.
*This marks the second time in which characters from at least two different universes come together in one universe. The first time was in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], in which The Homestar Runner shows up on [[Planet K]].
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of." The worst contests that originated in children's storybooks are likely to be the "Strongest Man in the World Contest" from the [[Original Book]], and the "Ten Step Footrace" from [[flashback]]. 
*This is another appearance of the [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses.
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Strong Bad previously mentioned "real fruit smoothies" in [[mascot]] when the team won the game.
*Homestar Runner's "real fruit smoothie" is another example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].
*Stinkoman's line in the song "I hope it's from a girl" is a reference to the e-mail song in [[dragon]], "Every week I hope that it's from a female!".

=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is better known as the flying, red, one-eyed enemy from the ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' series of computer games. The plot for these games involved demons escaping hell via portals.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "[[Wikipedia:Photoshopping|Photoshopped]]" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" was frequently said by the character Mushmouth on the animated ''[[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]''.
* The way Strong Bad travels from panel to panel while visiting Strong Badman may be inspired by the videogame ''[[Wikipedia:Comix Zone|Comix Zone]]''.
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of ''[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. She-Hulk comics were once noted for their [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth-wall breaks]], similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel. These not-always-appreciated gags were introduced by writer [[Wikipedia:John Byrne|John Byrne]], who may be the "genius" Strong Bad ridicules.
* The surreal Coach Z Easter egg is an homage to a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series, ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]''. The background for the scene featured red drapes, and the starring character, Dale Cooper, spills coffee on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee. The unusual speech used by Homestar, meanwhile, was the hallmark of the scene; the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here). It seems as though Matt Chapman faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards. ''Twin Peaks'' was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]], who Strong Sad cited as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Additionally, the phrase "I'm not at liberty to discuss [...]" is a direct lift from the lines of Major Garland Brigs, a character on Twin Peaks, who is often unable to talk about what he does for a living.
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'. This is also a reference to the anime art style, where noses are less pronounced than most American cartoons.
* The all-star super group recording a number one jam calls to mind [[Wikipedia:Band Aid (band)|Band Aid]] (a collaboration of forty-four artists in the UK and Ireland organized by [[Wikipedia:Bob Geldof|Bob Geldof]], releasing the hit single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in 1984, the profits from which were used for famine and disease relief in Africa) and the similar [[Wikipedia:USA for Africa|USA for Africa]] (a group of forty-five U.S. musicians that collaborated on the number one single "We Are the World" in 1985).
*The [[Fonts|font]] in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]'' comics.
* The [[Sound Effects|sound effect]] in the fishing Easter Egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from ''[[Wikipedia:Fishing with John|Fishing With John]]''.

== Biography ==

[[Image:Babyss.PNG|thumb|Not sitting next to The Diapersmith.]]
'''Strong Sad''' is the youngest of [[The Brothers Strong|the Brothers Strong]]. It is unclear how he was born, as his [[Wikipedia:Umbilicus|belly button]] (which normally indicates the removal of the [[Wikipedia:Umbilical cord|umbilical cord]] shortly after birth) was apparently created by [[Strong Bad]] using a drill that he received for his birthday. He stands somewhere between Strong Bad and [[Strong Mad]] in height, and he has large, elephant-like feet he calls "[[Soolnds|soolnds]]". (In the past, poachers have apparently offered large sums of money to obtain Strong Sad's feet.) His body is round and is two shades of grey—a lighter grey from the waist up, and darker grey from the waist down. Strong Sad's body makes the sound of a red gym ball when hit—and according to Strong Sad, it is hit often. His head is white and has an odd lump on the top, referred to as a "disturbing soft-serve flip" by Strong Bad in [[keep cool]] (a trait shared by [[Mr. Bland]]). It is unclear whether or not he has teeth. Strong Bad claims that he doesn't, but Strong Sad was seen brushing his teeth in [[narrator]]. He is usually very calm and soft-spoken, although he has become [[Hyperactive Strong Sad|hyperactive]] on occasion (at least once under the influence of caffeine), and he has also temporarily (and involuntarily) become a [[radio|radio DJ]] once or twice. The phrase "Covered Bridges" seems to be able to put him in some type of trance, as seen in [[Fall Float Parade]].

Strong Sad's main defining characteristic is his chronic depression—his high level of intelligence and creativity are almost always overshadowed by it. His many interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, and arts [[b/w]] crafts. He has outstanding handwriting and often uses it in writing poetry, which he then recites at his own "poetry slams". Strong Sad is seen using both his right and left hands to write and play the guitar, implying that he is [[Left Handedness|ambidextrous]]. He has been seen practicing [[Wikipedia:T'ai Chi Ch'üan|T'ai Chi]]. Strong Sad also enjoys playing board games (especially with other board games), and he seems to enjoy going to science-fiction and fantasy conventions, as seen in [[different town]] and [[TrogdorCon '97]]. He has an [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]], and he occasionally updates his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]]. Strong Sad's highly philosophical view on life has creeped out other characters more than once, most notably Strong Bad and [[Marzipan]]. Strong Sad may have a crush on Marzipan; he has occasionally lied to Marzipan just so he could spend time with her, as in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]]. However, he might just be trying to make friends with anyone he can.

Strong Sad has a sort of "love-hate" relationship with his brother Strong Bad. It has been suggested that the two [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along quite well]] when they were younger, but nowadays, Strong Sad suffers almost constant [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|abuse]] from Strong Bad. (Nobody really knows why.) However, evidence from The Secrets That I Keep may suggest that even though Strong Sad outwardly insults Strong Bad, he looks up to him and misses the days when they got along. In particular, Strong Bad has quite a list of [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|names]] he's used to insult Strong Sad. Strong Sad has also been the subject of numerous practical jokes by Strong Bad, Strong Mad and [[The Cheat]], from being drilled a new navel by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] to being used as a [[The Stunt Double|stunt double]] for the [[Dangeresque]] movies to even having [[Wikipedia:wildebeest|wildebeest]] [[Wikipedia:pheromones|pheromones]] washed into his laundry. In turn, Strong Sad often has a very low opinion of his brother and considers him to be a clueless weirdo, though nobody really seems to care most of the time what he thinks. Despite all of this, he seems to retain some degree of brotherly love toward his siblings: When the [[gimmicks|Tandy 400 exploded]], Strong Sad asked Strong Bad if he was all right. Also, while Strong Bad was [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|in jail]], Strong Sad wrote him a letter wishing him well, and adding that his brother's absence caused him to feel far happier with himself than usual and also that while Strong Bad was gone, he turned his brother's computer room into his tai chi space. He was also eager to help Strong Bad with his 150th e-mail in [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (he actually managed to provide the background music for Strong Bad's email intro in [[alternate universe]]).

Strong Sad's troubled relationship with Strong Bad seems to extend to the rest of the community in [[Free Country, USA]] as well. He is generally reclusive and has only a few friends—his best friend appears to be [[Homsar]], and he plays Jenga with The Cheat on Tuesdays. Early in the site's history, Homestar Runner even counted Strong Sad as a friend, and still shows some signs of friendship towards him. He is often overlooked and ignored when he [[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|has an idea]], and he is sometimes even [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|believed to be dead]]. Despite all of this, he serves as a loyal officer in the [[Homestarmy]], and a [[impression|Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] is held in his honor/insult each year.

*Email [[garage sale]] — [[Strong Bad]] describes "The Lurker", using Strong Sad as an example, as being "the shady night-manager at Stuckey's type, who shades around all day but never buys anything." He even tells Strong Sad to "go back to Stuckey's, ''lurker''."
*[[Senorial Day]] — In an [[Easter egg]], Strong Sad says, "there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night."
*Email [[trading cards]] — One of [[Homestar Runner]]'s cards is [[The Deathly Pallor]], which can perform the "Lonely Lurker Attack."

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Poetry Slam!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Sad's Room]]}''

''{Open with a black screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't wanna do a characters page!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, come on, you can do it!

''{The lens cap is removed, and Strong Sad appears as the camera focuses on him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not really comfortable talking to a camera.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Just pretend like you're talking to me, or a wall, or a tree, or any of the other stuff that you usually talk to.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ohhhhhh! My name's Strong Sad and... I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour, on the hour. I mostly sit in my room, and... listen to music, and write, ''{begins tracing his finger along the edge of the screen}'' and talk to walls or trees... ''{stops touching the edge of the screen}'' and wait to be pummeled... I guess I like board games more than most people. And by that I mean I like to play board games more than most people do. But by that I also mean I like board games more than I like most people. Like this one time, me and Hi-Ho Cherry-O! were playing The Game of Life, and I got a phone call from... Coach Z or somebody. And, I didn't answer it because I was having such a good time with playing this board game, against this other board game...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{off-screen, losing patience}'' Okay, I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And it got me to thinking, you know?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, okay, I'm turning it off now.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Two lovers... collide...

''{The camera stops.}''

== Fun Facts ==
* [[Matt Chapman]] has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which led to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in [[cheat talk]]).
* Strong Sad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying he doesn't want to do a "character page", and by running his finger up and down the left border of the screen. The actual wall of his room is much further off to the side, as evidenced by the poster in the background.
* The odd lump on top of Strong Sad's head gives him a similar appearance to some of the secondary characters in [[Wikipedia:Casper the Friendly Ghost|Casper the Friendly Ghost]].
* In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Draco Malfoy calls Hagrid "elephant-man".

* Strong Sad used to have an AOL Instant Messenger screenname of "depressio222". A fan registered the name, and after many questions as to why the Brothers Chaps had not reserved it beforehand, Strong Sad's IM changed to "depressio111117".
*Strong Sad was originally going to sound like [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]], but it was quickly rejected.

*'''[[Email]]''' — Homsar wails, "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!" and the background waves insanely behind him until the cursor is moved.

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===

*The URL for the page ends "memorabilia.html".

===Glitches===
*When you roll over the "Games" link and roll off quickly, Homsar's hat will jump up and then momentarily disappear. The weight will not crash down on him.
*When you roll over the "Store" link and Strong Sad says "How did you get up there? I don't think this is a very good idea." his mouth keeps moving for several frames after he stops talking.
**This only happens with Flash Player 8 or higher. With Flash Player 7, the timing is correct.

===Inside References===
*The Downloads boat is the same one from [[Main Page 3]].

===Real-World References===
*Kelsey Grammer is an actor best known for his role as Frasier Crane on ''[[IMDb:tt0083399|Cheers]]'' and its spinoff ''[[IMDb:tt0106004|Frasier]]''. In the opening credits of ''Cheers'', his name was displayed over an antique photograph of a mustachioed man wearing a bowler hat and drinking a beer.

===Fast Forward===
*The word "James" is used instead of "games" again in [[redesign]] when [[Strong Bad]] uses the green screen to play [[Sundae Drivin']]. When he loses, the screen says "your james over".
*The scream Homsar makes when you roll over email is the same scream Homsar makes in his character video.

Homestar Runner is an angel in Heaven.

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

'''Places:''' Heaven

'''Icon:''' Lyre

'''Page title:''' "Homestar Runner must be dead!"

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' - Homestar plays a lyre.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' - A green, scaly, clawed hand, surrounded by fire, reaches up through the clouds and a roar is heard.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' - Three planes from an air show fly by, trailing red, white and blue streaks.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' - Homestar plays the lyre again, but a string breaks.
*'''[[Store]]''' - One of the planes crashes through the clouds.
*'''[[Email]]''' - Strong Bad walks by singing, "Keep on knockin' on Heaven's door." He then falls through the clouds and yells, "[[Crap|Holy crap]]..."

== Fun Facts ==

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's animation is improperly lip-synced: He shouts "Holy crap!" a split-second before he begins falling through the clouds.
*When Strong Bad is singing, his mouth doesn't move.
*If you roll over the Email button twice, the animation will start over, but the sound will remain and overlap a second instance of itself.

===Fixed Goofs===
*If you rolled over Email and Games at the same time, a white square overlapping Strong Bad was visible, where the frame of the demon's hand is. This was later corrected, although the white square is still visible.

===Real-World References===
*The song Strong Bad is singing is "Knocking On Heaven's Door," a classic song by [[Wikipedia:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]].
*The three planes are probably F/A-18 Super Hornets, the jets used by the U.S. Navy's [[Wikipedia:Blue Angels|Blue Angels]].

'''STINKOMAN:''' That name is dumb. It sounds like it is soooo dumb.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, what's your moniker?

'''STINKOMAN:''' I go by Stinkoman. That's the name of talented fighter if ever there was one.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, if you say so. Would you care for some dry meal? ''{pulls out a bag of dry meal which makes a dry wheezing sound}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! I'm training for fighting, or maybe a challenge. So what's that thing you're kicking around?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's just an old can of water soup. I kick it around ever since ''{sadly}'' my dog worshed away in the storm of '28.

'''STINKOMAN:''' You seem like you might not be from around here. Do you have any special powers?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can play a mean worshboard. ''{pulls out a washboard that says "worsh it" and plays it}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{flinches}'' What is that? ''What'' is ''that?'' Some kinda robot?

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*The [[Old-Timey]] scratch line behaves irregularly:
**Sometimes it sticks out of The Homestar Runner's body; other times it doesn't even reach the edge.
**There is no scratch line on The Homestar Runner's feet, hat propellor, or worshboard.
**During part of the toon the dry meal sack has a scratch line (independent of The Homestar Runner's), but for the rest of the toon it does not.
**Sometimes, when The Homestar Runner is sideways or slanted (toward the end when he's saying "[[20X6]]"), the scratch line is too.

===Inside References===
*Stinkoman asking "''What is that?'' Some kinda robot?" is a possible reference to the Strong Bad Email [[some kinda robot]].
*The page title, "CHALLENGE AND FIGHTING!!", refers to the Stinkoman theme song, which contains the words "Challenge and fighting and fighting and challenge tonight..."
*The Homestar Runner kicking a can around is a reference to the series of cartoons in [[Kick the Can]].

===Real-World References===
*The kicking attack Stinkoman practices bears a strong resemblance to [[wikipedia:Chun Li|Chun Li]]'s lightning kick attack from [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter II|the Street Fighter 2 series]].
*A hurricane struck Florida in September 1928 and is often referred to as "The Storm of '28" or the [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/Deadliest_Costliest.shtml "Lake Okeechobee" hurricane].

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Ooh, a nice little title screen there.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh, these are always fun to do. Mixing the weird, different universes of the Homestar Runner world.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yes. This was the first—Was this the first thing that Stro—Stinkoman was in after the japanese cartoon email?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, I think so. This was the first fleshing out of his character a little bit. ''{pauses}'' I like how Old-Timey Homestar Runner has scratchies only on him—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' —and his voice.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' And—and his audio?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I think Old-Timey Homestar Runner is my favorite character.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What do you think Old-Timey Homestar Runner's dog's name was, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Um...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Old something?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. Old Eyelids? Cause he had eyelids? ''{Matt laughs}'' His eyelids were really big, actually.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Okay. They droop down off his face?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. Instead of having big droopy jowls, he had big droopy eyelashes. Wait, what did I say? Eyelids, not eyelashes.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. You think there's an anime name for those mushroomy things? Yeah, it's been like that.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Really?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That's terrible. It looks really bad.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' An anime name for the mushrooms?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I do think there's a name for them, but I can't think of what it might be right now.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' There's the snot— There's the snot bubble. There's the tear that comes up the side of your face. And then there's the weird, angry mushroom when you're laughing.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' They mean something to someone, but not to me.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Get down.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's like the end of the pale green pants.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Hello?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Hello?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Hello?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Hello!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' And... keep playing here. We're gonna fade it out.

[[Image:sbemail110.png|thumb|right|"Okay, kids, we're gonna play ''Where's The Cheat!''"]]

Allison wonders what a Strong Bad television series for kids would be like.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Rather Dashing}}, {{Film|Kerrek}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Homsar}}, {{Film|The King of Town}} (Easter egg)

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

{{Comp|Compy 386}}

'''Date:''' August 9, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 3:24

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!!

== Transcript ==
''{We see Strong Bad at the Compy 386 playing ''Peasant's Quest''. He has a score of -38 and is in the area with Kerrek.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, let's see here... ''{typing}'' Make friends with Kerrek.

''{A message pops up. It reads, "The Kerrek says he has enough friends already. And he doesn't like your short, short pants." His score also drops to -40.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the!? ''(presses enter}'' Um... ''{typing}'' Buy Kerrek a cold one.

''{Kerrek smashes him on the head. There is another message. It reads, "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your offer. He pounds your head into the ground. You dead." His score also drops to -45.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHAT?! Oh man... Stupid game! ''{types "quit." A message says, "You quitter."}'' I guess I should do the thing... that I do. ''{pulls up the a> sign and types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' ''{Reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Coolest guy ever - - - Strong Bad, 
I've been wondering if you ever 
thought of making your own television 
series? Kids everywhere would love 
you, and your awesomeness. 
 
Allison , NJ</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "- - -" as "henna henna henna". After reading the greeting, he says, "Whoa! Three hennas! Must be an important one!" After the comma in the last sentence, he says "unnecessary comma," and he pronounces "Allison" as "All is on"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Television?!! Kids?!! Wait, do you people think I'm intended for children? Like, the littlest, tiniest babies? You know, they watch those shows on public television. I don't think I'm cut out for that sort of sugarjob.

''{Cut to a piece of yellow paper of the sort used to teach kindergartners writing. Strong Bad is superimposed on it with a rocket launcher/bazooka, a monster with horns, a bunny with fangs, and a creature that resembles a man sticking its tongue out drawn in crayon around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Smiling beatifically}'' Okay, kids, we're gonna play "Where's The Cheat?". Can you say, "a-The Cheat"?

'''KIDS:''' ''{half incoherent}'' The Cheat. ''{one child mumbles}'' Christopher Columbus.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not good enough. F minus minus.

''{"F--" appears on the screen. The [[DELETED]] [[Sound Effects|buzzer]] is heard. Cut back to Strong Bad. Behind him are a tree and an open box. A toilet is in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, dumb children. ''{rubs his hands together}'' Find The Cheat!

''{The Cheat comes out from behind the box.}''

'''KIDS:''' ''{say things like "He's over there," or "Right there." They continue saying this.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, no, he's behind the box. ''{Turns around and points to The Cheat}'' No, uh, he's not even ''behind'' the box, he's ''barely obscured'' by the box. ''{turns around}'' Look, ''The Cheat is behind the freaking box!!''

''{Kids stop talking and the music soundtrack screeches to a halt accompanied by a record scratch. Strong Bad breathes heavily, then comes closer to the viewer, and starts screaming manically}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS''!!

''{Cut back via a change of TV channels to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, you can see how that might be less than pleasant. What with all the letter writing and the angry mothers and the subsequent stringing me up in town square for all to see. But you know who's a natural for that sorta thing? None other than America's favorite blue midget Homestar: Homsar!!

''{Cut to an all-white scene. Homsar comes through a faraway door. He walks closer to the viewer and stops.}''

'''KIDS:''' Whaddaya know, Haddi-man?

''{As the words are sung, they are shown one by one at the bottom of the viewer's screen. A caricature of Homsar rides by from right to left in a boat with a flag. The background is light green, with white, yellow, purple and green flowers spinning counter-clockwise. His shirt says "if you lived here you'd be home"}''

'''MAN:''' We'll have an adventure, and several long trips. We'll make some new friends—

''{Smiling, multi-ethnic children appear behind Homsar as he sails left off the screen}''

'''MAN:''' —and maybe get a bite to eat!!!

''{An orange with "abc" on it appears. Seven Homsar silhouettes now fan like a hand of cards from left to right, and then disappear in reverse order.}''

'''MAN:''' All 'cause we say...

''{A red silhouette of Homsar with the flag from the boat appears. White liquid spills onto the screen. A logo that says '''"Whaddaya Know Haddi-man?"''' with a second caricature of Homsar on it appears.}''

'''KIDS:''' Whaddaya know, Haddi-man?

''{The real Homsar pops up on the left side of the screen in the lower left corner.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!

''{Cut to a tan scene. Homsar disappears and reappears in various places, accompanied by raspberry noises. When he stops in the left half of the foreground, a blue lower case "g" appears beside him.}''

'''KIDS:''' A "G"!

'''HOMSAR''': I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!

'''KIDS:''' A "G"!

''{Cut to a purple background with a seated, mustachioed man playing a guitar. As the words are sung, they appear on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

'''HOMSAR:''' That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?

'''KIDS''': ''{shouts of approval}''

''{Cut to the previous screen. Now we see two of the guitar-playing people, one in a darker shade superimposed behind the other. Again, as the words are sung, they appear on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

''{The darker shaded guitarist is suddenly upside-down, and the song is repeated as are the words on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

''{Cut back to the Compy via a channel change.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Good gravy. ''{Spoken: GOOD... GRAVY.}'' I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS. THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME.

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A person who practices total abstinence from alcoholic beverages is called a [[wikipedia:Teetotaler|teetotaller]].

===Remarks===
*The [[Peasant's Quest Responses|commands]] Strong Bad uses in [[Peasant's Quest]] were not originally part of the game but were added after this email debuted.
**Typing "make friends with kerrek" results in the message "Look, it didn't work for Strongbad ''[sic]'' and it's not gonna work for you either."
**Typing "buy kerrek a cold one" results in the message "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your request. You've really cheesed him off now." Also, the Kerrek begins moving twice as fast.
*It is impossible to get a negative score in the real game, despite Strong Bad's miserable showing.
*In [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], it is said the maximum requirements for [[Peasant's Quest]] are a 286 CGA enabled PC. The Compy, judging by its name, contains a 386 processor.
*The positions of the crayon graphics in the first scene are all rearranged when the scene zooms in on SB's face.
*If the "Stave it off" song were really looped 50 times (including the pause heard in the email) it would last for 6 minutes, 10 seconds.
*As Homsar says the word "trendy," his hat changes in size; first larger, then smaller, then back to normal.

===Goofs===
*When Homsar talks after the lowercase "[[G|g]]" shows up (complete with various head movements and hat flyings, as per usual), his shadow stays still.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad is playing Peasant's Quest, the Contrast knob has no effect on any of the black text on the screen except for the game messages (i.e. "You quitter.").

===Inside References===
*The sounds that Homsar makes when he opens the door is the same sound when the door closes in The House That Gave Sucky Treats.

===Real-World References===
*The fake show hosted by Strong Bad is a spoof of many children's shows; the kids heard shouting the answers to Strong Bad's questions are taken from the show [[Wikipedia:Blue%27s_Clues|Blue's Clues]]. Strong Bad's show is actually a strange reversal of Blue's Clues; in Blue's Clues the kids know all the answers to the questions asked but the host is completely clueless.
*The way Homsar enters and walks closer to the viewer is from the British kids' show [[Wikipedia:Bod (television)|"Bod"]]. This is likely, as [[The Brothers Chaps]] have claimed that [http://www.retrocrush.com/homestar/index2.html Bod was one of their influences.]
*The noise Homsar makes when he teleports around are similar to noises on the [[Wikipedia:Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] show [[Wikipedia:Boohbah|Boohbah]].
*The Guitar Playing Man bears a striking [[Wikipedia:Gorilla_%28album%29|resemblance]] to folk singer [[Wikipedia:James Taylor|James Taylor]]. Taylor has made numerous appearances on the children's TV program [[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]], often singing educational songs.
**He also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Fred Penner|Fred Penner]] and [[Wikipedia:Jim Croce|Jim Croce]].
*Homsar asking the kids if they want to "hear of (the song) 50 times more" may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] show [[Wikipedia:Teletubbies|Teletubbies]], in which whenever a "real-life" clip is shown, it is always repeated per request of the Teletubbies.
*The "letter of the day" feature in Homsar's show is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]], which ends each show with the mock sponsorship, "Sesame Street was brought to you ... by the letter __!"

===Fast Forward===
*The "[[All Is On]]" song from this email is used again in the Easter egg for [[extra plug]].
*The words "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." were used again in the email [[virus]].
*[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]] is heard in the background in [[secret identity]].
*Part of the song played in the "Where's the Cheat?" part of the sbemail is heard in the [[Very, Very Little Girl]] easter egg in [[Summer Short Shorts]].

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

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]] '''on guitar''')

''{Ryan’s guitar playing throughout the commentary}''

'''MATT:''' You’re listening to the smooth, sultry, sounds of the Strong Bad DVD commentary.

'''RYAN:''' Dim the lights, Matt. Who’s on lights? Matt are you on lights?

'''MIKE:''' I know one thing for sure.

'''MATT:''' What’s that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Ryan Sterrit’s on the guitar right now.

'''RYAN:''' ''{over Mike}'' Oooooohhhhhhhh yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhh.

'''MATT:''' What’s that Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' Hey um— re— re—

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Ryan}'' Make it sing. Make it sing.

'''RYAN:''' Regarding the P— the Peasant’s Quest thing we— or— before the email or just after we went back and added the phrases.

'''MATT:''' ''{over Ryan}'' Those two commands.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, into the game.

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' And you’d get the same responses, right?

'''RYAN:''' Y— something like that. Something similar.

'''MATT:''' Or maybe— no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh no, that’s right.

'''RYAN:''' ''{yelling}'' Check— Try— Try it out at home.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Find out yourselves.

'''MATT:''' Give it a shot.

'''RYAN:''' I’m sorry. I’m not being sufficiently jazzy in my role.

'''MATT:''' No! We’re all err—

'''MIKE:''' Hey it’s all good. It’s all hot.

'''MATT:''' Everything— we’re all a family here at Strong Bad Email. This is a little technique I used to make look like crayon drawing Flash it’s the— it’s the stippled stroke. There’s a stroke in your stroke tool all you Flash animators at home.

'''MIKE:''' Stroke.

'''MATT:''' It looks sort of like pebbles. Just do several different layers of it and maybe cut and paste the same layer, move it up a little bit. Instant crayon.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating child in the email}'' Christopher Columbus!

'''RYAN:''' Wait— wait, this is where Strong Bad gets violent.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah this is gonna be good contrast to— here...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I don’t think— I don’t think I wanna watch this part.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad! Calm down, man!

'''MATT:''' You need to cool out, Strong Bad.

'''RYAN:''' Does he say, "I’ll kill all you dogs"?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Or "all your dolls?"

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' Dogs.

'''RYAN:''' That’s what I thought he said.

'''MATT:''' He’s ang— he’s angry. It’s a little rough. There’s some kids at home who I don’t think could handle that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. It’s like— it’s like the new Star Wars episodes. Not suitable for children.

'''MATT:''' That’s what I hear. The world’s most childish...

'''MIKE:''' Hey Ryan. How ‘bout some more finger picking. ''{Ryan plays a little more}'' Thank you. That’s ''nice''.

'''MATT:''' This is a, uh— this is a sweet intro I think to Homsar’s show.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I really wanna make this show, or at least watch it. I don’t want to make it. I wanna watch it.

'''RYAN:''' I like the, um, the construction paper appearance in this.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Those kids and that orange— that orange I wanna snack on.

'''MIKE:''' Those kids are diverse.

'''MATT:''' They are! ''{talks over Mike}'' They’re from all over the world, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{talks over Matt}'' There’s some diversity in those kids.

'''MATT:''' Haddi-man is accepting of all cultures.

''{short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' And fart noises.

''{all laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I wonder—

'''RYAN:''' —like a— statistical analysis on the number of, uh, fart noises or toilets or something like that delay this 1:30.

'''MATT:''' ''Is'' there?

'''RYAN:''' I don’t know. There’s the toilet and the claymation thing that— there’s probably a lot! Not that you guys resort to—

'''MATT:''' Who’s uncle? That’s— that’s Ryan right now. Looks just like that guy.

'''MIKE:''' He does! His legs crossed like that!

'''MATT:''' He’s got his legs crossed, tapping one foot.

'''MIKE:''' You need to put some socks on underneath your flip-flops.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' Me! Me! Me! Me! That’s my favorite kid that’s in the background—

'''RYAN:''' Is he wearing sandals and socks?

'''MIKE:''' I don’t think he is, but I always sort of interpreted those weird lines around his foot as that.

'''RYAN:''' Hey guys, I’m sorry if I was implying that you guys do a lot of potty humor.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We’re gonna cut this out— we’re gonna cut you out of the DVD.

''{all laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' But, I’m not in the DVD.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, traipsing along, traipsing traipsing along, and a email got stuck in my eye.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey there Strong Bad! 
I was thinking since so many people 
and ladies think you're SUPER COOL, 
why not build a monument to yourself 
for all to enjoy? 
 
Another fan, 
Kaitlin G.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad puts an emphasis on "SUPER COOL".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm assuming the G stands for generally overused girl's first name. Well generic name, you're really onto something here. Turns out I AM super cool. ''{He clears his throat.}'' As for monuments, I already got one. But it's kinda ''{He clears the screen and continues typing.}'' only of my right foot. You might know it better as DUN DUN DAAA: The Strong Badia Sign!

''{Cut to the [[Stop Sign]], then to a picture of Strong Bad. As he narrates, a diagram of the monument is built.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials. On a massive scale that would rival the Aztecs and their...techno-chocolate land.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anyways, we lost our funding or public interest waned or something distracted me. Man, what was it? What could possibly have distracted me from ''{mumbling}'' humbera hum...

''{Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are building the monument.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, The Cheat. That totally looks like my right foot. It's got all the rightness of a foot without all the footdom of a right.

'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!!!

''{These words float across the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Check it out The Cheat. ''{Strong Bad looks and points off-screen.}'' It's the Thnikkaman!!

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat run to meet the Thnikkaman, who is obviously Bubs wearing sunglasses and a "TH" sign taped to his chest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Thnikkaman!

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Hey, kid!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can we have some?

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, okay.

'''STRONG BAD and THE CHEAT (in Cheat-speak):''' Thanks, Thnikkaman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He says this in a low voice, perhaps translating for The Cheat.}'' Thanks, Thnikkaman.

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah. ''{takes off his sunglasses}'' Shut up, kid!

'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' There goes the Thnikkaman!!!

''{Now these words float across the screen. Strong Bad and The Cheat look at each other, Strong Bad's mouth is agape. Thnikkaman exits. Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you can see why I got distracted. I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman. I don't care what you're doin. No one can resist. ''{not typing}'' Speakin' of monuments, somebody should make one to the Thnikkaman. Oh the things that man does! Come to think of it, what exactly ''does'' that man do? ''{typing again}'' Anyways, I'm gonna go try and find some of that Technochocolate. That stuff sounds a-prettypretty good!

''{Strong Bad gets up from his seat and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Thnikkaman" at the end to see Bubs in his Thnikkaman costume with a flashy background dancing to the Thnikkaman theme song.
:'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' ''{Bubs walks to the left}'' Here comes the Thnikka— ''{Bubs walks to the right.}'' There goes the Thnikka— ''{Bubs walks to the left.}'' Here comes the Thnikka— ''{Bubs walks to the right.}'' There goes the Thnikka— ''{Bubs walks to the left.}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!
:'''THNIKKAMAN:''' ''{faces camera and removes sunglasses}'' Yeah, shut up, kid!
*Click on "I don't care what you're doin" at the end to see Homestar Runner being distracted by the Thnikkaman.
:''{Cut to the field. Homestar Runner is holding a pair of trousers.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll just, uh, put these pants on—
:'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Thnikkaman. It's the Thnikkaman.
:''{He drops the trousers and runs off to the left.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He pokes his head back onscreen, singing.}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!
*Click on "technochocolate" at the end to hear Strong Bad and The Cheat do a chocolate version of Techno. The Cheat throws a one-man lightswitch rave.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This email used to be accessible through [http://www.thnikkaman.com http://www.thnikkaman.com], but the site is now deleted.

===Remarks===
*During the "technochocolate" Easter egg, the tiny sign above the lower light switch that The Cheat uses says: "The Cheat," as his switch in [[techno]] does.
*When Homestar is about to put on the pants, his legs are placed in the wrong place.
*During the Technochocolate Easter egg, the beat Strong Bad is making overlaps with him saying "Technochocolate".
*When Homestar is about to put his pants on, the words "here comes the Thnikkaman" doesn't fly across the screen.
*After Homestar hears The Thnikkaman coming during the "I don't care what you're doin'" Easter egg, his legs are much farther back from his torso.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad forgets the period after "distracted" near the end when he says, "So you can see why I got distracted".
*The Enter-sound when Strong Bad cuts the email away to answer it does not play completely. It has a dead end.
*Strongs Bad's voice in the "technochocolate" Easter egg is not on beat.
*Homestar Runner's legs don't line up with his body in the "Thnikkaman" Easter egg.

===Inside References===
*Some of the things composing Strong Bad's monument are from other toons: the "Pie Factory" is from [[stunt double]], the palm tree is from [[island]], and the toilet paper and the fake afro (from Homestar's John McEnroe costume) are from [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*The fact that Homestar is attempting to put on [[Pants|pants]] and then, after being distracted, doesn't put them on, is in reference to the ongoing joke about Homestar [[Homestar's Pants|not wearing any pants]] (which is discussed in [[long pants]]).
*The Cheat threw a "Light Switch Rave" to Strong Bad's "The System is Down" song in the email [[techno]]; in [[interview]], the viewer can flick the lightswitch himself to turn on the spinning lights.

===Real-World References===
*Techno-chocolate-land is an attempt to pronounce [[Wikipedia:Tenochtitlan|Tenochtitlan]], the capitol city and religious center of the ancient [[Aztecs]] (actually pronounced teh-nohtch-tee-TLAHN), built where [[Wikipedia:Mexico City|Mexico City]] is today. The inclusion of "chocolate" in the mispronunciation may be due to the fact that the Aztecs are often credited for the discovery of chocolate.
*[http://www.biggreenegg.com Big Green Egg] is a combination ceramic barbecue/meat smoker.
*[[Wikipedia:Blow Pops|Blow Pops]] are lollipops with a center of bubblegum, made by the Charms candy company (now owned by [[Wikipedia:Tootsie Roll Industries|Tootsie Roll Industries]]).

===Fast Forward===
*Technochocolate reappears in [[extra plug]], [[rock opera]], [[geddup noise]], and [[disconnected]] as a [[Club Technochocolate|club]].
*Even though Strong Bad does apparently not recognise Bubs when the Thnikkaman removes his shades, [[Coach Z]] believes in [[cliffhangers]], that removing the Thnikkaman's glasses will reveal his secret identity.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey, Marzipan! It's Homestar, and um... did Bubs try to call you? Because, he was asking me for your phone number, and, like acting all weird, and asking me all these questions about you, like if you've got an open mind and stuff.

Nomoregoodusernames: /* Marzipan's Instruments */

{{cleanup}}

The populace of [[Free Country, USA]] are a musical bunch, with several '''instruments''' among them. Marzipan and the Cheat are the most often seen with instrumental skills, and along with Strong Mad they make up the band Cool Tapes. In addition to Cool Tapes and Marzipan's solo work with her guitar Carol, Bubs and Strong Sad also have some instrumental skills, and the King of Town may as well. Also many of the King's servents have been seen with instruments in various bands.

==Marzipan's Instruments==
===Guitar===
[[Image:carol.PNG|thumb|right|220px|"Come on Carol, let's rock!"]]

'''[[Carol]]''' is [[Marzipan]]'s [[Wikipedia:Guitar|guitar]]. In the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons, she is called "Carl". She is modeled after a nylon-string classical/Spanish guitar. Carol features a drawing of a [[Wikipedia:Gadsden_flag|"Don't Tread on Me"]]-style snake from the American revolutionary war. Marzipan plays Carol in the band Cool Tapes with Strong Mad and The Cheat. However, the sound Carol makes in the song ''"[[Cool Tapes]]"'' is much more like that of an electric guitar with distortion.

===Electric Guitar===
Appearing in sbemail 99, different town, Marzipan played this electric guitar, with the main body made up of mostly a skull, backbone, and several other bones.
===Ukulele===
[[Image:Ukulele_and_Poetry.png|thumb|right|110px|"Oo-koo-lay-lay!"]]
The '''[[Wikipedia:Ukulele|Ukulele]]''' is used by Marzipan to play Hawaiian music for her Luau. This is a more appropriate instrument than "Carol" to accompany Strong Sad's Polynesian prose. This instrument sports the letter "M", standing either for "Marzipan" or as the monogram of the instrument's own name.

'''Appearances:'''

===Keyboard===
[[Image:cheat_keyboard.png|thumb|right|110px|Beautiful music]]

'''[[The Cheat]]'s keyboard''' is a [[Wikipedia:Casio|Casio]] [http://www.synthmania.com/sk-1.htm Sk-1] portable sampling keyboard. The Cheat has played the [[Strong Badia]] National Anthem, a background beat for [[Strong Bad]]'s chart-topping hit "Song About Sibbie," and the acoustics for "Everybody Knows It" on it.

The Cheat's keyboard appears to have an extra key between E and F and ''two'' extra keys between B and C.

If Strong Bad [[guitar|had a band]], The Cheat would be in it with this keyboard.

===DJ Equipment/Mixing===
[[Image:djcheatequipment.png|thumb|200px|Indie-tronic]]

When The Cheat is on tour as DJ Teh C., he uses a set of DJ equipment, which seems to include a pair of single turntables. He most likely also has a mixer board, as he is able to make an Indie-Tronic remix out of [[The Geddup Noise]], as well as a remix of "[[Quote of the Week|Not Talkin' 'bout Butter]]".

'''Appearances:'''

===Record Player===
[[Image:Cheats Record player.png|thumb|The record player]]
'''The Cheat's Record Player''' appeared in [[rampage]] when he was playing background music for Strong Bad and [[Coach Z]] when they were going on a lyrical rampage.

According to the [[rampage#DVD_Version|DVD Commentary]] for rampage, this is based off of the [http://www.thisoldtoy.com/fisher-price/dept-1-Audio-Vis-Mus/k-record-players/Record-Players.html Fisher Price Record Player] toy that [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] had when he was a kid, and tried to bring to college. The real record player could play 33 to 45 RPM records and, according to Matt, could only play "slow stuff or jazz" or else "it just couldn't handle it."

===Drums===

===Electric Bass===
[[Image:SMBass.PNG|thumb|DOLEY-O!!!]]
'''[[Strong Mad]]'s [[wikipedia:bass|bass]]''' is an instrument that Strong Mad plays in the band Cool Tapes with Marzipan and The Cheat. The bass is black and has Strong Mad's intitials on the headstock. He uses a blue pick to play.

He was first seen playing the instrument in Cool Things as the band recorded their first ''Cool Tapes'' song. He later is seen playing it again in a topiary garden during the band's midwestern tour.

==Bubs' Instruments==
===Keytar===
[[Image:Bubs with Keytar.png|thumb|right|Bubs gets all the royalties]]
'''[[Bubs]]' Keytar''' is based on a [http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/yamaha_shs10.cfm Yamaha SHS-10 FM digital keyboard]. The most common version of the SHS-10 is red and features colored buttons. It was often used as a cheap MIDI controller in the late '80s, as the sounds are nothing special. At around $100, it was almost a toy, but had professional features like MIDI out, pitch-bend, and a two-digit LED display to indicate patch/program changes.

The only significant difference between Bubs' keytar and a real SHS-10 is that Bubs' only has 24 keys, whereas a real one has 32.

It debuted in the Strong Bad Email "[[cheatday]]." Bubs had it handy behind the couch in [[Strong Bad's Basement|Strong Bad's basement]] so he could help supply the music for "The Date of Birth Song". It seems that Strong Bad and The Cheat did not appreciate Bubs butting into the song with his keytar.

'''Appearances:'''
*'''Debut:''' Email [[cheatday]]

==Strong Sad's Instruments==
===Guitar===
[[Image:ssguitar.png|thumb|Walkin' on clouds and flippin' off rainbows.]]
'''[[Strong Sad]]''' owns a '''[[Wikipedia:Classical guitar|classical guitar]]''' that he plays in the email song for [[alternate universe]]. A drawing of Strong Sad playing a twelve-string guitar had previously appeared in the [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|sketchbook]]. That guitar was held right-handed, and Strong Sad was seen writing right-handed in [[record book]] and [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].

'''BUBS:''' Oh, hey, Strong Bad. I think I'm almost finished. It took me a little while to figure out what I was going to do. ''{He steps aside to reveal what he's done.}'' Then I duct-taped an alarm clock to your VCR.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duct-taped an alarm clock to the VCR... See, I never would have thought of that! Okay, there's some hairs that seem to be stuck in the duct-tape here. Was that on purpose?

'''BUBS:''' Oh... No! That's just left over from my first idea, which was to duct-tape The Cheat to your VCR. He wasn't into that.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' That's a reference to the TV show Jeopardy!

'''MATT:''' Yeah...

'''MIKE:''' I like how he says Dewey-Smith here. I've always liked that. Or, watch it! Oh, not that.

'''MATT:''' Not this time.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. ''{horrible Strong Bad imitation}'' Dewey-Smith.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad}'' Dewey, Dewey, Dewey. Dewey, Dewey.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, do the voice! Do Strong Bad's voice!

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad}'' Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey.

'''MIKE:''' I love to get Matt to do Strong Bad's voice.

'''MATT:''' Look, that's one of those, what do you call those work boards in the back?

'''MIKE:''' Pegboards.

'''MATT:''' Pegboards.

'''MIKE:''' My friend Tobin made homemade pegboard just by getting a piece of masonite and drilling the holes in just freehand and it was really bad and funny-looking.

'''MATT:''' So in, Mike, thi—

'''MIKE:''' Look, the No Loafing sign and his desk are—

'''MATT:''' There's also—

'''MIKE:''' —right there! So, apparently—

'''MATT:''' Wait, is that supposed to be the same desk?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' You mean Strong Bad's computer desk is in the garage?

'''MIKE:''' There's the same color wall. Well, it looks like it...

'''MATT:''' I don't believe you, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' I like that little, he's like ''{adopts semi-Strong Bad tone}'' "Aw, pshaw. I could've told you that." I like that.

'''MIKE:''' Wait, you—I like that.

'''MATT:''' ''{Strong Bad voice}'' Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey.

'''MIKE:''' Aw, do it ''again'', Matt!

'''MATT:''' ''{Strong Bad voice}'' Uh, holy cramp!

'''MIKE:''' Holy cramp. ''{laughs}''
