==Transcript==

''{Balding Man sits looking depressed in his wood-paneled living room in an aqua-green lounge chair while holding a canned cold one and watching TV. Light music plays in the background.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Say there, "husband of the year," ''{Balding Man looks at the camera}'' what are you doing just sitting around?

''{Balding Man gives a loud, long sigh.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' When you could be sitting around ''huge'' savings ''{Balding man gives a big smile}'' at the Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale!!!

''{The last six words are printed across the screen, and "Supra Sale" is echoed.}''

''{Balloons float up as the scene wipes to reveal Senor Cardgage standing in the Field in front of a portable tent covering the small shrub. Two strands of multicolored pennant streamers hang in front of and behind the tent.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Gamble{{ref|1}} around the campfire, children! It's Senor Cardgage with the Senorial Day Tent thing that guy talked about.

''{The next scene tumbles in from the center. Still in the Field, Senor Cardgage stands in front of the [[Gremlin]] with a strand of pennant streamers overhead.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' It won't be here forever. So come see me ''{pull back to reveal the Wagon Fulla Pancakes at Senor Cardgage's feet}'' and this little dog ''{indicating the wagon}'' for vera low prices!!

''{"VERA LOW PRICES!!" flashes on the screen.}''

''{The screen shifts to a blue screen with "Tent Event" printed all over it. As the narrator names off the following years, the numbers fly across the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' 2005! 2004! 1999!

''{Scene shifts back to the awning and the shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Those were all good years. Don't let another minute go you by.

''{The screen turns to static for a moment as the channels apparently change, and we now see Bubs at his concession stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! Come check out my circumstance this Senorial Day Weekend for Bubsotathon!!

''{The screen pans out, and we can see a star-spangled "BUBSOTATHON!!" banner above the concession stand. Two Homestar Runners can barely be seen flanking the stand. Both throw confetti.}''

'''LEFT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{fireworks noises}'' Pekyoo! Hgyoo! Pghyoo! Doo! Pehw! Wehw! ''{normal voice}'' Explosions! Fireworks!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Bubs is standing next to the [[Stop Sign]] and the [[Tire]]. The Tire has been painted to read "LOW SAViNGS".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up the Tire}'' We're so ''tired'' of low savings, we're givin' 'em this boot!

''{He pulls a [['Lectric Boot]] out from behind his back and hits the tire with it. An unseen audience groans. Bubs throws both props over his shoulder.}''

'''BUBS:''' Would I lie to my own flesh and blood?

''{Homestar walks in from stage right, with false Bubs teeth drawn on his jaw in marker and a paper ring taped over his left eye.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Bubba daddy!

''{The Tire and the Boot are seen falling behind the fence. The Bear holding a Shark gets triggered and pops up as they land. The channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, back in front of the Gremlin. Strong Bad walks up from stage right with an American football in hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, excuse me, sir. Can I have some tremendous savings? And your autograph? ''{holds up the ball}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{writing on the football with a marker}'' My left name is "Tremendous Savings", Ms. America! ''{grabs the football and winds up to throw it, indicating for Strong Bad to go long}'' Go out for a pass!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' You bet! Hit me on the slant! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{Senor Cardgage pauses for a moment, then drops his arms, still holding the football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Bring on down your whole fambly! We'll set up some tents ''{an image of a tent hovers on the left side of the screen}'' and hot dogs ''{an image of a hot dog hovers on the right}'' for your... babies. ''{scratching his head}'' Those like those, right?

''{Channel changes back to Bubs, who is back at his concession stand. He's wearing a pink baby bonnet and holding a rattle.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're going ''gaga'' ''{rattles the rattle}'' over slashed prices!

''{As he says this, a serrated blade emerges from the end of the rattle and the word "PRICES" appears at the bottom of the screen. He slashes "PRICES" in two with the blade. The audience groans. Bubs ducks down, then returns with a wig and a tennis racquet.}''

'''BUBS:''' Our competition is a total ''racket!''

''{The audience groans again. Bubs ducks down again and returns with a bean bag that looks vaguely like Strong Sad's head on a plate.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're getting a ''head'' of the rest.

''{More groans. Bubs now switches the plate for a giant frog mask.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm the hoppity-frog of value!

''{Audience says "Huh?" in unison. Bubs switches props to a rubber chicken.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're holding up a novelty rubber chicken and playing a cartoony sound effect ''{He raises his left hand to cue a pair of cartoony "boing" sound effects}'' of savings!

''{Channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, who is back in front of the awning and shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You doe NOT want to miss ''{"Doe NOT Miss Out" appears at the bottom of the screen.}'' any Senorial Day savings action!

''{Cut to file footage of an urban alley, where Senor Cardgage is sleeping in an orange sleeping bag, using his [[Aldi Bag|Aldi bags]] as a pillow. A [[wooden crate|box]] labeled "UNLABELED BOX" can be seen to the left. Senor Cardgage snores loudly as cars honk their horns in the background. Cut back to the Gremlin, where Senor Cardgage is still holding Strong Bad's football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Wake up! Senorial Day is here with the vengeance!

''{Strong Bad returns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, Mister Senor, sir? Can I have my football back?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You bet! How 'bout I hitcha on the slant?

''{Senor Cardgage winds up to throw the ball, and Strong Bad dashes off again. After a moment's pause, Senor Cardgage again drops his arms, still holding the football. He then walks off, stage left. We cut to Strong Bad, still running in the other direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna get me a touchdown!

''{Channel changes back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' So come down around my Bubba Concession Stand — my Buh — my cassette — ''{music screeches to a halt}'' Ough! I even wrote this stuff and I can't remember my own lins.

''{Another Bubs wearing devil horns and carrying a pitchfork rips open the screen.}''

'''DEVIL BUBS:''' So come on by for Bubsotathon ''{The banner from earlier comes up from the bottom of the screen}'' where you'll save like a demon, or my name ain't ''{holds up a "VERY OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION CARD"}'' Bubs Concession Stand!

''{The channel changes to the wall of the Balding Man's living room, with ID cards that read "BACK" and "AGAIN".}

==Easter Eggs==
[[image:mustachioedHR.png|78px|thumb|'stache]]
*Directly viewing the Flash file reveals that in the scene with two Homestars, the one on the right has a [[mustache]].
*When Senor Cardgage holds up Strong Bad's football the first time, click on the football to see what Senor Cardgage wrote (in very scrawly handwriting):
*:<blockquote>This pen doesn't work, small girl
*:T. Mendous Savings</blockquote>
*At the very end, click on the narrow wood panel just to the left of the AGAIN card.
*:''{The Field at night. Crickets chirp in the background. Strong Sad walks on from stage left.}''
*:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night.
*:''{Strong Bad's football flies in from off in the distance and hits Strong Sad squarely in the back, knocking him over.}''
*:'''STRONG SAD:''' OHGH! Somebody hit me on the slant!
{{clear}}

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Senorial Day was released on and is a takeoff of the U.S. holiday [[Wikipedia:Memorial Day|Memorial Day]], during which there are often many much-hyped retail sales events.
*A slant pattern is an [[Wikipedia:American football|American football]] play in which a potential receiver initially runs directly toward the endzone, but then, in an attempt to fake out a defender, changes direction and runs at an angle, or "slant."

===Trivia===
[[Image:bubsid.PNG|thumb|Bubs's ID card]]
*Bubs's ID card reads:<blockquote style="width:20em"><big style="color:red">'''''VERY OFFICIAL'''''</big> IDENTIFICATION CARD BUBS C. STAND Entrepreneur FREE COUNTRY USA<div style="text-align:center;font:x-large monospace">[SUSPENDED]</div><div style="float:right;text-align:right">"I don't look half bad!" -Bubs</div>CLASS F</blockquote>
*The shading on the football in the first (close-up Easter egg) is a repeated heart shape, on its side.

===Remarks===
*If Bubs can be trusted, then we learn his full name is "Bubs Concession Stand", a fact hinted at in the email [[other days]] where Bubs signs his "snail mail" to Strong Bad in the same manner.
*When Strong Bad says "Mister Senor, sir," he is saying three different synonyms of the same word in a row (assuming we substitute "Señor" for "[[Senor]]").
*This is the fifth instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*Normally, when Bubs faces a different direction, his mouth switches sides. However, when he is unable to remember his lines, his eyes move to the other side but his mouth doesn't.
*It's curious that Strong Sad knows the phrase "hit me on the slant", as he has previously claimed that [[caffeine|he doesn't even watch football]].

===Goofs===
*Bubs uses the rattle-knife to cut from upper left to lower right (from the viewer's perspective) but the cut which appears on the word "prices" goes from the upper right to lower left. But it could be that he reversed his slash at the last moment.
*One of the [[Gremlin]]'s back wheels is not visible.

===Inside References===
*Senor Cardgage signs the football with a [[Permanent Marker|Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*Bubs wears the same [[John McEnroe]] wig that Homestar wore in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*This is another appearance of [[Strong Sad's Severed Head]].
*In the email [[montage]], the Wagon Fulla Pancakes was said to have gone on to do commercial spots for used car dealerships. This explains its appearance in this cartoon, which is an obvious parody of said commercials.
*The serrated knife that Bubs uses looks similar to the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies|Hash-Haw]] from [[Stinkoman 20X6]] level 6.
*Bubs also said, "Hey there every peoples!" in his [[Bubs#Character Video Transcript|character video]].
*The [[Weird Shrub|shrub]] under the tent is the same as the shrub that Senor Cardgage suspiciously comes out from behind in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Sad's "[[Strong Sad#Lurking|lurk]]" may be a reference to [[garage sale]], where Strong Bad calls him a Lurker.
*The word "Supra" appears in an Easter egg in [[50 emails]]. The header of [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]'s telegram reads, "SUPRA MODERN TELEGRAM."
*The Tire painted to say "LOW SAViNGS" is another instance of [[Lowercase i's]] on the site.
*The phrase "a ''head'' of the rest" is also used in the [[thorax:emission.html|mission statement]] of [[Thorax Corporation]].
*"Bubba Concession Stand" is also referenced in [[Puppets on the Road]].



===Real-World References===
*Senor Cardgage calls Strong Bad "[[Wikipedia:Miss America|Miss America]]," which is a title given in a popular annual beauty pageant.
*"[[Wikipedia:Battle of the Network Stars|Battle of the Network Stars]]" was an annual TV special in the late 70s that pitted stars from various TV shows teamed up by network (ABC vs NBC vs CBS) competing in various olympic-style events.
*"Bubsotathon" has a very similar name to a sales event held by [[Wikipedia:Toyota|Toyota]] dealers called "Toyotathon." Similarly, Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale may be a reference to the Nissan Tent Event.

*Bubs' line, "I even wrote this stuff and I can't remember my own lins" is a reference to Jack Rebney, the "Winnebago Man," who said a similar line during the infamous profanity-laden series of outtakes from a Winnebago commercial he did in 1988.

===Fast Forward===
*Senor Cardgage sleeps in an alleyway again in [[candy product]].
*Homestar also sports a mustache in an Easter egg in [[lady...ing]], and would again imitate fireworks in the e-mail [[4 branches]].
*In the Easter egg Strong Sad says "Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night". Later, in the email [[trading cards]], Strong Sad's Deathly Pallor card has the Lonely Lurker Attack.

== DVD Version ==
*The I.D. cards are missing at the end, replaced by "The End" written in big red letters.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' I love that guy, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' I like that guy too, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I wanna make a cartoon with him.

'''MIKE:''' I wanna hang out in his living room. I like that wooden paneling and the orange carpet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... I wanna drink one of them Cold Ones he's got, too. ''{pause}'' Oh! There he is, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, uh, settle down—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, oh! Look, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, settle down...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at... the shine on that belly o' his.

'''MIKE:''' Well, you got a little shine on your belly, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, what it is is— Well, he's got a belly button. I'm very jealous. I think I have one in a couple cartoons.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I was gonna say I think you used to have one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' W— why did we put a tent over his shrub back there?

'''MIKE:''' He's protecting it from the rain, probably.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right, right...

'''MIKE:''' You know what rain does to bushes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... it'll kill 'em. ''{pause}'' Wait a minute, aren't there, hey, aren't there...?

'''MIKE:''' Two Homestars.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two Homestars?!

'''MIKE:''' If you... doesn't one of those have a mustache if you actually break apart the SWF and—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno, you'll have to ask Matt.

'''MIKE:''' Matt? Uh, yeah, I think he would confirm that ''{laughs}''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's gross. He turned into melty Bubs. Doesn't look like Bu— Oh! Ooh, look, there he is, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Who, you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah! I look so good...

'''MIKE:''' So, I guess... there's still the... The verdict's not in as to whether or not Senor Cardgages actually exists or not.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I hope he does, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Initially he just seemed to be this hypothetical thing, a vers— a version of you...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right. That I made up— I made him up!

'''MIKE:''' That you made up...

'''STRONG BAD:''' But he's sort of loosely based on this dude who used to live down the street from us when we was kids.

'''MIKE:''' But now he just exists... in the world.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe!

'''MIKE:''' ...And interacts with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But then he was in an altrenate universe with me one time, so maybe he only sort of— What do you think that Strong Sad head is made out of, cheese cloth?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Heh, yeah, I was gonna say white burlap, but cheese cloth, eh, you're right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can get white burlap now? Oh, I'd be makin' everything outta white burlap. Let's go to the fabric store.

'''MIKE:''' There's one right above us; I'll throw you through the ceiling.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Doe not'' miss out, Mike. I love 'doe nots'. ''{Senor Cardgage is sleeping in the alley}'' That— I can't watch that, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' That's sad, it's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' This makes me wanna throw up and cry at the same time.

''{Both laugh}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, wait a minute. This imaginary guy stole my football.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he just keeps it. You never got it back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I don't think so... I was never 'hit on the slant'. I was runnin' the picket fence at 'em.

'''MIKE:''' That's a basketball.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, don't get caught watching the paint dry. That's what I know about that. ''{pause}'' Oh, he didn't get that lin right either, did he, Mike?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' So does this mean his real middle name is ''Concession''?

'''MIKE:''' That's what I get from it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Paaate...

'''MIKE:''' Is it over?

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' Step 1: You check an email down. Step 2: You tell some kid he's a dork.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: hygiene movie</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
In 5th grade I have to watch a lame hygiene movie. I was thinking you could make a better movie about hygiene than the cruddy school version. 
Your friend, 
John Katulla
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Katulla" as "Katulalalalala"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Fifth grade boys?!?!! Man, what happened to the hot college girls that used to email me? You ladies stop your be-pantied pillowfighting and drop me a line!

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I suppose I could make a cruddy hygiene movie for you, John. But wouldn't it be so much more satisfying to make a cruddy hygiene movie ''about'' you?

''{Cut through static to a blue background. Disco music plays. Yellow letters saying "Embarrassing Educational Films" fly into frame, leaving colorful after-images behind them. Afterwards, the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up and the word "Presents" appears below them. Cut to another blue background with the yellow text "LESSON 1: SAY 'HI' TO HYGIENE". Cut to a yellow background/}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet John!

''{The Text "john" appears and Homestar Runner as John pops up looking very dirty and unkempt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John is a cruddy 5th grader. Hi, John!

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "john".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AS JOHN:''' ''{voice breaking}'' I'm a latchkey champion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet Gene!

''{The text "gene" appears. Strong Bad as Gene slides in. He has stylish blonde hair and a pink shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is a beacon of light—

''{The camera zooms out to show Gene in a lighthouse with the lighthouse shining. The lighthouse grows smaller and appears in a stink cloud made by John.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —shining through the stink cloud generated by John. Hi, Gene!

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "gene"}''

'''STRONG BAD AS GENE:''' TGIG, y'all - Thank God I'm Gene!

''{Cut to Gene standing next to Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, who all have the same hairstyle as him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is popular and doesn't get good grades.

''{Shows a Fridgin'-A brand refrigerator with a piece paper reading "G-, but sooo charming". Cuts to a closeup of John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John has no friends—

''{Zoom out to show John sitting in a desk surrounded by two empty desks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and sits in the front row.

''{Cut to John and Gene standing on opposite sides of the screen. The side John stands on is light brown box, while the one Gene stands in is light blue.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is John missing that Gene has? ...Besides rich parents.

''{Three bags of money drop in front of Gene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, hygiene!

''{The word "HYGIENE" appears. Cut to a closeup of Gene.}''

'''GENE:''' Hi, gals!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hygiene—

''{A dictionary pops up. A note is taped over the definition of hygiene, reading the following.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is defined as "how close people are willing to stand next to you".

''{Cut to a closeup of John's chest, with his star bent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John wears shabby clothes that smell like chocolate milk—

''{A chocolate milk carton with a thermometer in its mouth and squinted eyes fades in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with a stomach virus.

''{John blows his nose on his star, and puts it back on. It has mucus on it, and slides downwards somewhat. Cut to Gene in front of the "Big Ol' Mall"; two bags fall in next to him, reading "styles upon styles".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mom buys all of his clothes, but she is young and hot enough for that to be okay.

''{An exaggerated feminine hand with a ring emerges from the left. The hand is holding some keys.}''

'''GENE'S MOM:''' ''{voice}'' Mommy's got a grown-up headache, Gene. Why don't you take the boat out for a while?

''{Gene eagerly reaches for the keys. Cuts to a bathroom and John walks in. He briefly holds up a washcloth and a bar of soap before dropping them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, John wakes up and forgets to wash his stupid, ''{zoom in on John's face with each word}'' dumb, stinking, ''{yelling}'' fat, smelly, ''{John looks surprised}'' stupid, du—

''{The screen displays static, then cuts to a closeup of Gene's face, radiating energy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, the radiant energy from Gene's face—

''{Gene attaches two electric cables his cheeks, connecting them to a red lightbulb on a pad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —powers a small lightbulb.

''{The lightbulb makes a buzzer noise and lights up. Cut to a closeup of John's face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John's mouth is an ecological trainwreck—

''{John opens his mouth, which has a spider web in it. A green stink cloud emerges fromit, and black liquid drips from his upper lip.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and has a nest of rare South American moths living inside it.

''{John burps, and a moth flies out.}''

'''JOHN:''' Now you be back before din-din, Chauncey.

''{Cut to Gene's face. His mouth is shining.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mouth is a national park—

''{A sign pops up, depicting a smile, two trees, two mountains, and the words "Gene's Clean Mouth National Park". It also has Gene's hair on the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and his saliva is sold—

''{Gene spits onto an outline of South America; the saliva transforms into a bottle that read "El Gene's Spit".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in South America as a wonder drug.

''{Cut to John's room. John is sitting on his bed. There are milkshakes, french fries and bowls of cereal scattered about the room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John leaves food out all over his room, and a family of squatters have taken up residence in a nearby laundry cave.

''{Pan to The Sad Kids standing in front a pile of laundry in the shape of a cave. Cut to Gene's room; a pennant reading "A sport!" and a wardrobe are visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's room has a sixteen car pile-up of racecar beds—

''{Zoom out to show sixteen racecar beds stacked on top of each other. 5 special effects artists with "THX" on their chests and 5 maids appear above the pile over the next line.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and a family of 10 maids and special effect artists keep it realistically smoldering and burning.

''{The pile of race car beds appears to be set on fire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, they also live in a nearby cave.

''{Cut to the five maids and five special effects artists standing in front of a cave, waving. Cut to a tube and two jars of cream, powder, and paste.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What can John do to change his hygiene?

''{Cuts to John holding the tube and two jars; he drops them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing at this point. ''{John looks shocked}'' By fifth grade, the damage is already done—

''{a pie chart with the heading "What 5th Graders Remember You For" appears. "Your Stink" is the biggest section, "Your Stonk" second biggest, and "Hot Mom", "Video Games", and "Cool Headband" follow.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and everyone will remember him as a smelly loser no matter what he does.

''{Cuts back to John. Two pennants appear reading "Out-of-State U!" and "Go Non-Residents!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll probably have to wait and go to an out-of-state college, where he can reinvent himself.

''{John fades into a more typical-looking Homestar, with a small beard and a college shirt reading "OoSU Non-Residents".}''

'''JOHN:''' Hooray!

''{Cuts to Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene, on the other hand, better keep up the status quo. ''{A giant hand appears and starts poking him}'' If he slips up the slightest bit, and gets lice—

''{Zoom in on Gene's hair; lice are jumping up and down on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —or has an ''accident'' at school—

''{Gene covers his pants with his hands. Cut back to the teenaged Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, all with angry eyebrows. The camera slowly zooms in as the background turns red and the music becomes menacing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —those fifth graders will just descend on him like a ravenous ''{Cuts to Gene, looking nervous}'' pack of hygiene wolves. And tear him to shreds.

'''GENE:''' Hooray...? ''{gulps}''

''{Cut to Gene standing next to the words "bye gene".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bye, Gene!

''{Cuts back to the blue background. Disco music plays again. Yellow letters saying "Embarrassing Educational Films" fly into frame, leaving colorful after-images behind them. Afterwards, the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up and the word "Presents" appears below them. Cut to another blue background with the yellow text "LESSON 2: PANTS PROBLEMS". Cut through static back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay John, all done. I hope your classmates like my video. And don't worry, in 8 or 9 years you can just hide behind your new identity as a raver, a greaser, or a whatever ancient Egyptian teenagers called themselves. Now get outta here! None of the college hotties'll show up if you're hanging around, Mothmouth.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, showing alternating colors below the words "Calibration test". "Click here to email Strong Bad" is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, New Paper, you keep sucking just enough to stay interesting.

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{Open on Coach Z and Strong Sad sitting at a table. Coach Z is wearing a gladiator's barbute, and Strong Sad is wearing his astronaut helmet}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it's like a tricycle, but with nineteen wheels instead of three! ''{pronounced "tree"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, that's a ''horrible'' recipe!

'''COACH Z:''' Lemme run this one by ya. We start with a pound of rubber cement...

''{Cut to another view of the table, with Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith. Strong Mad is wearing a Nacho football helmet on top of his head, Bubs is wearing a fire helmet, and The Poopsmith is wearing a Judge Dredd helmet}''

'''BUBS:''' I haven't been able to fit into my lucky pants for almost ten years! That's why come I'm in such a bad mood all the time!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN LET OUT THE WAIST ''{Holds up needle and an extremely short length of thread}'' A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, that'd be a sweet deal I couldn't refuse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Order!

''{Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith pay attention. Cut to Homestar, who's wearing his horned Viking helmet and banging a turkey drumstick on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Order! I hereby call this meeting of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets to order! Now let us begin with a rousing rendition of our frothy, shanty chant. ''{Waving drumstick like a conductor's baton}'' And one, two, three!

''{Cut to another view of the table. Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z are visible. Strong Bad is wearing a miner's helmet}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut to another view. Strong Sad and Pom Pom are visible. Pom Pom is wearing a Samurai helmet. Strong Sad isn't singing and has his arms folded}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Singing—

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' One more time!

''{Cut to a shot of The Poopsmith, The King of Town and Strong Sad, slowly zooming out. The King of Town is wearing a German Pickelhaube.}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ''{singing, getting higher at the end}'' Ever and more...

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z, slowly panning left}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ...ever and more...

''{Cut to The Cheat next to Strong Mad. The Cheat is wearing a British custodian helmet.}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ...ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad! Why weren't you singing?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't believe in the message!

''{Cut to a view of Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, yes you do. All in favor?

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z}''

'''ALL EXCEPT STRONG SAD:''' Aye!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All opposed?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nay!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The ayes win! ''{He ducks under the table and reappears next to Strong Sad}'' You believe in the message now!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Patting Homestar on the back and smiling}'' I really do!

''{Homestar ducks under the table and reappears in his original position}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I now give the floor to our treasurer, regarding shiny new ways to misappropriate funds.

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Thank you, Brotherstar Runnerbro... ther. Well, I've taken the minutes ''{holds them up, music starts playing}'' from last month's meeting and sold them as rollover minutes ''{holds up another piece of paper with a picture of [[Homsar]] on it}'' to third world countries! ''{places both pieces of paper down}'' Then I bought myself, I mean the Broternal Order of Different Helmets, a jetski! ''{holds up a jetski, slightly knocking the light, and puts it down}'' But then I wrecked it and broke my shin! ''{holds up crumpled leg}'' So now my rubbing ointment ''{holds up tube of [[BUBRUB!]]}'' costs fifty bucks a tube!

''{Record scratch sound effect. Music stops. Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fantastic! And now, to help me demonstrate the new secret handshake, I call forth, Brother of Town.

''{The King of Town comes onscreen}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Boooo-ooo! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen, simultaneously}'' Yaaaaay!

''{Homestar and the King of Town move around for a second. Hand slapping is heard}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody got it? This: ''{The word "This" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around as three arrows appear onscreen}'' Then this: ''{The words "Then this" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around some more and more complex arrows, including one that branches into three, appear on the screen}'' And now Brother Strong Bad, with his weekly power play.

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Clears throat, then speaks angrily}'' What's the matter with you guys?! I should be in charge here! Why is Homestar running this secret club?! ''{banging his fist on the table}'' Singing songs and secret handshakes?! That's rejected Girl Scout camp material! Put me in charge, and we'll be hitting each other with wooden stools until the morning light! Eating triple-fried pork rinds and burping video game music six ways till Tuesday! "Ever and More"?! That's horse puckey, you fools! It's all marketing mumbo jumbo! ''{upset}'' DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT!!

''{Strong Bad pants and shakes. Homestar leans onscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you, Strong Bad. We look forward to hearing from you next week.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{subdued}'' Thank you, Supreme Overlord.

''{Homestar leans offscreen. Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And with that, our meeting is adjourned. So everybody buddy up and get to work on that secret handshake. I'm gonna go take a bath in a pile of gold coins.

''{Homestar walks offscreen. Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat imitating the movements Homestar and the King of Town made earlier, with their hands on their hips. Cut to the words "end, friend." on a black screen}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "friend." at the end of the short to see Homestar Runner lying in a bathtub full of gold coins in the bathroom of the Brothers Strong.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing to the tune of the ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]]'' theme song}'' Lasers, race cars, aeroplanes, doot doo, ah-doot doo!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Broternal" is a [[portmanteau]] of "brotherhood" and "fraternal", two words that are often found in names of male-only secret societies.
*[[Wikipedia:Minutes|Meeting minutes]] are a summary of what was discussed at a meeting.
*Rollover minutes, offered by [[Wikipedia:AT&T Mobility|AT&T Mobility]] (formerly Cingular Wireless), are unused wireless phone minutes from one month that can be carried over and used in the next.
*The page title conforms to the practice of referring to a [[Wikipedia:Local union|local union]] as a "local" followed by that local union's number. These organizations are also commonly named "brotherhoods" or "fraternal orders".

===Trivia===
*This toon's [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]] reads, "loading, friend."

===Remarks===
*Bubs refers to last month's minutes, implying monthly meetings. However, Homestar Runner implies at the end that the meetings are weekly, unless of course this is the first meeting of a month.

===Goofs===
[[Image:StrongMadMouth everandmore.png|thumb|I CAN LOOSEN REALITY FOR YOU!]]
*When Strong Mad holds up the needle, his "O" mouth animation causes an extra line (his chin) to overlap the needle.
*There are numerous inconsistencies regarding the placement of the characters around the table. For instance, in the first shot Coach Z is on Strong Sad's right, but when they are singing "Ever and More!" The King of Town appears on Strong Sad's right. Also, the Poopsmith is on Bubs's left when he is talking about his lucky pants, but during the song Strong Bad is on Bubs' left. Also, during the song, Strong Mad's silhouette appears right next to Homestar's, but when Homestar asks Strong Sad why he isn't singing, Pom Pom is right next to him, not Strong Mad.

===Inside References===
* The order's song was previously sung by Homestar in [[the movies]]. Homestar also wore the [[horned helmet]] in that email.
* Strong Sad's astronaut costume was previously seen in [[senior prom]], though he's only wearing the helmet part here.
* Strong Bad's miner helmet was seen in the emails [[cheatday]] and [[different town]].
* The King of Town's [[pickelhaube]] is similar to the one [[The Kaiser]], his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, wears.
* The Broternal Order's secret handshake is another reference to characters' [[lack of visible arms]].
* When Strong Sad is told that he believes in the message of the song, he [[Strong Sad smiling|smiles]].
* The pennant on the wall reads "[[LEMKE]]!".
* Bubs's jetski is labeled "WETSKi", another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
* Bubs mentions his lucky [[pants]].
* Pom Pom's [[Wikipedia: samurai|samurai]] helmet is a reference to Pom Pom's [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|martial arts skills]].
* The webpage title mentions [[style]].
* Coach Z is drinking a [[Coldson Lite]].
* Bubs says the phrase "[[why come]]".
* There is an [[interrupted conversation]] at beginning of this cartoon.
* The King of Town [[The King of Town Booing|boos]] himself.

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cold Ones Light Old Style.png|thumb|Old Style Cold Ones]]
*The Poopsmith is wearing [[Wikipedia:Judge Dredd|Judge Dredd]]'s helmet.
*The [[Cold Ones]] Light poster closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:Pabst Brewing Company#Old Style|Old Style]] beer logo.
*The lyrics Homestar sings in the bathtub of gold coins are a rearranged segment of the theme song to [[Disney]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]],'' with the lines "racecars, lasers, aeroplanes" changed to "lasers, racecars, aeroplanes", and "It's a duck blur" replaced with "Doot do, ah doot-do." Homestar's behavior mirrors that of [[Wikipedia: Scrooge McDuck|Scrooge McDuck]], the central character in DuckTales, who enjoys swimming through his coin-filled [[Wikipedia:Money Bin|Money Bin]].
*[[BUBRUB]] may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Whistle tip#Viral video|Bubb Rubb]], who became an internet phenomenon after appearing on a story by [[Wikipedia:KRON-TV|KRON-TV]] about whistle tips, devices welded into a car's muffler to cause a loud whistle as the exhaust gas passes through. Further, [[the Brothers Chaps]] paraphrase his "catchphrase" in the DVD commentary.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD title of the toon is "Ever and More" without the exclamation point.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

''{music is playing in the background.}''

'''MIKE:''' So we've got the jazz stylings of Ryan... Michael Sterritt. Is your middle name Michael?

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' That's my first name.

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' But my middle name is not Ryan.

'''RYAN:''' Why not?

'''MIKE:''' Anyway, Matt?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this cartoon came from something from a very long time ago, uh... when we just thought of Homestar Runner singing an "Ever and More, Ever and More" song. I don't know what it came from.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with a viking helmet on.

'''MATT''': Yeah. And so we stuck it in that movies sbemail, and then decided that that means Homestar's in some kind of elks lodge type thing.

'''MIKE:''' My question to you, Matt, is "What is the team— the football team that Strong Mad is on?"

'''MATT:''' Uh, the— the Nachos?

'''MIKE:''' Eh, are they just called the Nachos?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. It's got a nice fresh jalepeño on it though.

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' It's kind of a poor nacho honestly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ha! Come on!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' A corn chip with a single fresh jalepeño on it.

'''MIKE:''' That's classy, man! That's classy!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' That does not make—

'''MIKE:''' Haven't you ever been to a fancy restaurant? It's all about presentation.

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' Look at the stairs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Oh, we're in Pom Pom's basement, right? Have we decided—?

'''MIKE:''' The rumpus room.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Pom Pom's got a nice bunk basement. ''{pause}'' Um.. ''{watching Bubs's treasurer scene}'' That looks like one of those like— when little kids have fire helmets, those plastic fire helmets they let little kids wear.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The party favor, like, birthday hats.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Bubs holds up the [[Wetski]]}''

'''MIKE:''' The Wetski!

''{Bubs holds up his broken shin}''

'''MATT:''' Eww.

''{Bubs holds up his [[BUBRUB!]]}''

'''MATT:''' BUBRUB! ''{both laugh}'' He makes it go ''{singing}'' "Ooh! Ooh!" ''{pause}'' Do you want a "cold ones Light" po— poster, Ryan, for your rumpus room?

'''RYAN:''' I do.

'''MATT:''' Let's make those.

'''RYAN:''' You should.

'''MATT:''' We'll get sued by Old Style.

''{everyone laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' Can't get it down here anyways.

'''MATT:''' That's true. ''{pause}'' And we all know that the only people that buy stuff from our website ''{laughs}'' live here in Decatur.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, do these things still— when we're older, in our fifties, are there still gonna be these kind of elk lodges things?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't know. Or, like, is our generation gonna, just, kill 'em off basically?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, or do— as we get older are we gonna want to do that?

'''MATT:''' I don't know.

'''MIKE:''' I'd kinda like to hang out in some weird hall with a few other guys—

'''MATT:''' Put on a funny hat.

'''MIKE:''' —put on a funny hat—

'''MATT:''' Sing a song.

'''MIKE:''' —maybe do things on Saturday mornings.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''RYAN:''' Are you gonna have breakfast?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um... Ryan, you're really soothing me. I can't think of anything to say because I'm so soothed.

'''MIKE:''' Sing!

'''MATT:''' I've been sooth-sayed.

'''MIKE:''' Why don't you do a little singing?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' The Cheat looks like— The Cheat's a bobby.

'''MIKE:''' That rhymes.

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Drape it over your aaaaaaarms, step out in styyyyyle, Strong Bad Emaaaaaaail... ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: records</div>
dear strong bad, 
i was wondering if you were in the record book. if so, 
what for? 
nathan, tx</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "book" as "bük" and says "tx" as "Tee-Ex" (that is, as the individual letters).}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oooh, the Nathan TX! That has, like, way four more cylinders than the standard Nathan. Better Blue Book value, too. I can't remember if I'm in the record book or not. Seems like I should be. Let's take a look. A book-look. ''{pronounced like "bük luke"}''

''{Cut to a table. Strong Bad places "THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS The Book!" on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see what we got in here.

''{He opens the book to page 42. The page shows a picture of a really dirty Coach Z with an afro and mustache, and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Longest Showerless Streak 65 Days, 3 Hours, 42 Minutes: COACH Z."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 65 days?! That's ''way'' outdated! I'm pretty sure he's surpassed that one by several fortnights at this point.

''{Turns to page 116. This page shows young Strong Bad in a diaper and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Dirtiest Diapey, Very, Very Dirty: LIL' STRONG BAD."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape— Whoa! ''{throws eggs, bacon, and coffee on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee, eggs, bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.

''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, holding a magnifying glass and humming softly, writing on a grain of rice. His face is magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of basmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record!

''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera, smiling.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!

''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker labeled with the number "7" sitting near the pile.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Vwoooooooooooooooooo-foop!

''{The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!

''{The King seems to hiccup three times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?

''{The King "hiccups" again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!

''{Another buzzer, another page that reads "Chapter 3 - Disgusting Eating/Old Person Records, Least Healthiest (Man?): The King of Town." The King "hiccups" again.}''

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field on his soapbox, which now reads "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you call a redneck, with no teeth, that watches stock car racing all day? Ba-ha-ha-haaa! Man, they do not wear shirts!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting chewed gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with nine pieces of chewed gum on his face. The music from Homsar's character video plays.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for—

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm just me! Can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

''{Homestar pops up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does a redneck man call a dead possum lyin' in the middle of the road? Ba-ha-ha-haa! Probably sushi!

''{An unseen audience groans.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I think we're just about done here. Strong Mad set the record—

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Nathan TX Easter Egg.PNG|thumb|Way four more cylinders!]]
*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on an [[index card]].
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX," which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labeled "built-in smoke" (pointing to smoke from the tires), "3 front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt. (The link continues to work after the King has sucked up the shaker)
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second [[Wikipedia:redneck|redneck]] joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardnesses, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes, but in a different background.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The King of Town had a [[Wikipedia:heart attack|heart attack]] after eating the pile of [[Wikipedia:Edible salt#Health effects|salt]] because it contains [[Wikipedia:sodium|sodium]], a chemical element linked to [[Wikipedia:Hypertension|high blood pressure]]. Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attacks.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#crush crumble and chomp|crush, crumble, & chomp]]".

===Remarks===
*As of July 25, 2005, the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=W/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html women's world record] for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. Marzipan's world record is just one-quarter inch short of the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=M/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html men's world record] of 20 ft, 1.75 in. However, that was set indoors, and the outdoor record is 20 ft., 1.25 in., which Marzipan beat.
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Bull Honkey" for 10.8 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo– part lasts for 8.1 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to The Paper coming down is 13.4 seconds. The number is more likely to refer to the fact that this is email #134.
*When Strong Bad was turning to the "Dirtiest Diapey" record, it looked like he was turning two pages, but instead, he turned seventy-four pages. Also, the same chapter (Chapter 4 - Records of Smell) continues 74 pages further.
*"Least healthiest man" is grammatically incorrect. It should be either "least healthy man" or "unhealthiest man".

*When Strong Bad spills breakfast on the record book, he is shown telling another [[blatant lie]].
*Ironically, Strong Bad's mouth remains rectangular instead of becoming round (as it normally does when he pronounces the "ou" sound) during "Most Rectangular Mouth!?".
*Although Strong Bad tells Coach Z that he can't win a record for "mak[ing] up some random crap that no one else will ever do," Strong Mad apparently does just that by nailing macaroni to a paper towel tube.
**Strong Bad himself gets into the record book with a similar gimmick.
*Count Longardeaux's book apparently has two chapter sevens — one for "Records of Loneliness", and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."

===Goofs===
*Even after the King of Town swallows up the salt shaker ''and'' the record page appears, the Easter egg can still be activated. However, after the record page comes up, the Easter egg cannot be seen behind the record page.
*While Strong Bad is turned away from the Lappy, part of the screen is going over the outside of its normal area.

===Inside References===
*The intro song mentions [[style]].
*Strong Bad spills [[coffee]], [[eggs]], and [[bacon]] on his outdated record book.
*The tune which Strong Bad sings during the email's intro is similar to the tune which plays whenever a recipe card appears during the email [[secret recipes]].
*Coach Z was seen with an afro and mustache in [[stand-up]].
*The salt shaker labeled '7' that the King of Town is seen eating from is also used in [[Meet Marshie]].
*"You got-a some hiccups?" is the same line Strong Bad used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] when The Cheat got the hiccups.
*The [[Soapbox]] Homestar stands on has been seen before in [[fingers]] and [[army]], with labels containing "eleven" and "twelve", respectively (in this email it contains "thirteen").
*The music played while Homsar hops on one foot is from his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]].
*The buzzer that is played when the pages appear on the screen is that same one that's used for the [[DELETED]] screen.
*The groans heard when Homestar tells his second redneck joke are from [[Senorial Day]].
*Coach Z has the record for "longest [[Showering|showerless]] streak."
*Strong Bad saying "nice woik" is example of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "book" was heard in [[kids' book]].

=== Commentary Transcript ===
{'''Commentary by:''' [[Mike]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Ryan Sterritt]]}

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, I remember as a kid thinking that the Guinness Book of World Records was like, up there with the Bible. ''{Mike chuckles}'' It's like, there was the Bible, and there was the Guinness... The Guinness Man.

'''MIKE:''' It seemed a lot more important back then than it does now, that's for sure.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's true.

'''MIKE:''' I also just used to read it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Oh, definitely, it was the most checked out book in the library!

'''RYAN:''' Do you think kids still read it, or is it just—

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't ima— I me— I mean, they have to! The dudes with curly Q, like, fingernails. Remember that guy in India?

'''MIKE:''' And those twins on the motorcyles?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Those guys were ''stylish''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the fattest man, you could look at the fattest man for hours.

'''MIKE:''' Seriously, The Tallest Man? Though, I think he was 8'11".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is tall.

'''MIKE:''' That's ''insanely'' tall.

'''RYAN:''' Wow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy—

'''MIKE:''' I don't know of anybody— I've never heard of anyone else being 8 feet tall.

''{Strong Bad spills breakfast all over his record.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tha- tha- that- that time, that was totally... breakfast. ''{Mike laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh... something's going on beneath the coffee there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, there... there definitely wasn't. I always keep a little breakfast in my pocket, ''{Mike laughs}'' in case, uh... of an embarrassing situation.

'''RYAN:''' Fried egg.

'''MIKE:''' You just throw, uh... the breakfast out?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And nobody— everybody's totally distracted. "Oh, breakfast!" ''{Mike laughs}'' It doesn't matter what happened. You accidentally poop your pants or something, in public. ''{pauses}'' Oh. What do you think the mysterious Count Longardeaux. Does he live in a castle?

'''MIKE:''' Probably.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Atop a hill?

''{long pause until the scene with Strong Sad writing on the rice}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can always get these, you know, like at the beach or whatever, there'll be some scene painted on a grain of rice.

'''MIKE:''' You— you ever got one of those?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Key West. ''{Mike and Ryan laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' I've never heard that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've never seen that?

'''MIKE:''' I've seen things written, but I've never seen... I've seen them for sale in gift shops.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well right... that's what I'm sayin'.

'''MIKE:''' That's cool, man! You should buy one!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well, maybe ''you'' should buy one. ''{Mike and Ryan laugh}''

''{pause until The King of Town starts sucking in the salt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I like the sound the King makes. ''{all three laugh}'' Whoa-ho-ho! Look out dude, he got the 7... the 7 shaker. ''{long pause}'' I'll say that again in a different cra-toon!

'''MIKE:''' They're all seven—

'''STRONG BAD:''' What that thing next to him? You see that, there was a... ''{sees Homestar}'' What is he doing? Man. And what is with that soap box that keeps counting up?

'''MIKE:''' It gets one... It gets one more every time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' One louder! ''{long pause}'' Ryan.

'''RYAN:''' Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's one of your favorite records-book-type things? Or like, freakshow types?

'''RYAN:''' The hai— the hairy forehead.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' The hairy forehead? ''{Mike laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' It was always a favorite.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a good one. ''{sees him hitting himself}'' Oh-ho! I hated it so much, I had to punch myself in the face, to offset how much I hated it. ''{Ryan and Mike laugh}'' That seems like, half of the stuff you'd see, though, in the Guiness book. It'd be like, some guy's like, "Oh, I'm gonna do some arbitrary thing."

'''MIKE:''' "I'm gonna put a bunch of, uh... bees on my face."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, the— The beard of bees? ''{Mike laughs}'' Man, that is no kind of record. ''{pause}'' It's stupid... and fun to watch. but it's not—

'''MIKE:''' It's not a world record.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No!

'''MIKE:''' That's designated for things like the longest hair.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' Legitimate feats of wonder.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Exactly! Longest fingernails. ''{long pause until Marzipan's record is shown}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' She beat Sergey Bubka's record, maybe?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think so! Awwwwww, Bubs! Cutest couple.

''{long pause until Strong Bad's mouth is mentioned}''

'''MIKE:''' Crush ''{unintelligible}''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Look, this...is my fleshtangle, and I don't know why I didn't tell nobody at the time.

'''MIKE:''' A fleshtangle, huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I call it. A fleshtangle of mouth. ''{pause}'' That's a pretty good Bull Honkey!

'''MIKE:''' I bet I can beat that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah? I can go right now! ''{makes a long "OoOoOooO..." sound that lasts until the email ends.}''

===Fun Facts===

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Somebody get the door! I'll get it!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Thanks, Chef! ''{pronounces "chef" with a hard CH; closes door hard on The Chef}''

''{A stylized Poopsmith walks in, with green clouds surrounding him. The King of Town's eyes pop bigger and his crown pops up and falls back on his head}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Woo! What is that reek? ''{looks at The Poopsmith}'' The Poopsmith, you smell like a crapsmith. ''{The Poopsmith hangs his head sadly}'' Have you tried showering?

'''THE KNIGHT:''' ''{to The Poopsmith}'' So, I'm gonna set this thing to "sanitize", and it'll burn the stink right off ya!

''{The Knight throws his spear at the Dragon's stomach. There are different labels on the Dragon's scales: "pots n pans", "instant death", "sanitize", "puree", and "tumble dry". The spear hits "instant death".}''

'''THE KNIGHT:''' Ooooooh... ''{In a mood of regret, then returning to a normal mood}'' yeah! This is gonna be awesome!

''{The Blacksmith rushes forward and tackles the shower while The King of Town and The Poopsmith look on.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh, way to protect this house, but uh... that wasn't really what I had in mind.

''{Cut to the inside of the castle where The King of Town stands with everyone but The Poopsmith. A few bars of the theme tune is heard. The Poopsmith's Whatsit pile is visible outside.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, beezos, I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but there's only one thing left to do!

''{Cut to the mountains, where everyone flies through the air while music plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Jumping fun! 
You're jumping through the air. 
Jumping fun!

''{The King and his men all fall toward the pile of whatsit. Freeze-frame just before they all hit the pile, then fade through white to the table, where everybody is covered in whatsit, has odor clouds and is eating pizza.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, you know what I always say, "If you can't beat make The Poopsmith smell good, join... beat make The Poopsmith smell good!" Right? Everybody?

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|thumb|Original title card]]
*The animation style is much more loosely [[Stylized Character Designs|stylized]] than it was in the teaser at the beginning of [[senior prom]]. Also, the background has changed from a reflective red background with horizontal lines to a dull flat red with lighter shades in circles towards the top of the screen.
*This is the first appearance of The Little Chef Guy and The Cleric since [[The King of Town DVD]].
*This is the first time The Knight and The Cleric have spoken in a cartoon. The Little Chef Guy and The Blacksmith previously had very small speaking roles in [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Remarks===
*The Cleric is now clad in purple, the traditional color of bishops' vestments in the [[Wikipedia:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] and [[Wikipedia:Anglicanism|Anglican]] churches.
*While the Blacksmith is spraying the Poopsmith with perfume, there are still sounds of a hammer hitting an anvil in the background even though the anvil is in picture and there is no indication that the Blacksmith has other employees.
*The Knight is voiced by [[Mike Chapman]].

===Goofs===
*When the Chef comes to the door on the tongue, the tongue's line disappears.
*When the King of Town answers the door, the chef isn't standing on a tongue.
*When the Poopsmith is tied to the stake, he no longer has an odor cloud around him.
*In the last scene, the Hornblower doesn't have an odor cloud around him.
*When the Blacksmith is pouring perfume into his bellows, some of the perfume pokes through the neck of its container.

===Inside References===
*This short is a reference to [[senior prom]], in which the King of Town gets his own cartoon show, only to be quickly preempted by [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad's Very Popular Cartoon Show]]. The King acknowledges this when he says "For reals this time!"
*This is another mention of [[pizza]].

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Ryan Sterrit]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who allowed this to happen? Who allowed this to happen!?

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad! We— We owed him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We've owed him what?

'''MIKE:''' We owed him a cartoon. A very own, quite popular cartoon show.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but it was the big fake-out, right? I got him cancelled, 'cause I'm too great.

'''MIKE:''' Well, uh, what do you think about the chef here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's creepier than ever!

'''MIKE:''' Do you ever get, uh, pizzas delivered by the chef?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! I would not let that guy near me. Kingy-ding?

'''MIKE:''' What does he call you? The chef.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, does he have a little—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strongy-bong.

'''MIKE:''' Strongy-bong?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I smack him.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I can see that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, why does he— Why does everyone look so weird and different, The Poopsmith—

'''MIKE:''' It's style, Strong Bad! It's called—

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Poopsmith looks like he's like a— a, like, middle-aged man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he looks—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He doesn't look like his usual, uh... what do you call them? ...albino self.

'''MIKE:''' It's style Strong Bad, trust me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's your voice, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is. I was never real happy with that voice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me neither.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' You shoulda done it, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, here I'll redo it. "Oh, I'm dead! Oh, let me out of this dragon's mouth, 'cause I'm—"

'''MIKE:''' Um, a little less Strong Bad. A little less Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a higher pitch}'' "—'cause I'm dead!"

'''MIKE:''' Uh, talk to Ryan now, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ryan, say something about that puffy cloud of perfume.

'''RYAN:''' It's not penetrating... the defense.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The— The stink-fense?

'''RYAN:''' The stank.

'''MIKE:''' That, uh, puffy perfume cloud used to have a face, and looked like a... much more of a human cloud, and we changed it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm so bored, you guys, of this cartoon.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really bored.

'''MIKE:''' But look at this! Football! You like football, don't you? Don't you watch football?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I love that blacksmith, man! The Blacksmith— why isn't The Blacksmith the star of everything? Of, like, the world. He should be the President, and the Universe, and, uh, Andre the Giant. He should win all the high offices.

'''MIKE:''' Andre the Giant's not a— that's not a— he's not an elected official. "The Giant"— that was just a nickname.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but it's Andre the Giant. Who's like— Who's running for Andre the Giant this year?

'''MIKE:''' Uh... King Kong Bundy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll— he— he can get it. He's a contender.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe... One Man Gang?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh.

'''MIKE:''' So, they're all covered with dirt, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, dude. That's wat-sit. 

'''MIKE:''' Wat-sit?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mm-hmm. Disgusting wat-sit. That's too bad. I like the skulls in that dragon's eyes, though.

'''MIKE:''' I wish that would— I hope that happens to me when I die.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I want mine— eyes turning to Xs.

'''MIKE:''' I hope my tongue comes out, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. That means you're dead.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Somebody get the door! I'll get it!

''{Cut to the inside of the castle, where the King of Town stands by the door. The door opens and reveals The Chef with a pizza box with his face on it.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Woo! What is that reek? ''{looks at The Poopsmith}'' The Poopsmith, you smell like a crapsmith. ''{The Poopsmith hangs his head sadly}'' Have you tried showering?

'''THE KNIGHT:''' ''{to The Poopsmith}'' So, I'm gonna set this thing to "sanitize", and it'll burn the stink right off ya!

''{The Knight throws his spear at the Dragon's stomach. There are different labels on the Dragon's scales: "pots n pans", "instant death", "sanitize", "puree", and "tumble dry". The spear hits "instant death".}''

'''THE KNIGHT:''' Ooooooh... ''{In a mood of regret, then returning to a normal mood}'' yeah! This is gonna be awesome!

''{The Blacksmith rushes forward and tackles the shower while The King of Town and The Poopsmith look on.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh, way to protect this house, but uh... that wasn't really what I had in mind.

''{Cut to the inside of the castle where The King of Town stands with everyone but The Poopsmith. A few bars of the theme tune is heard. The Poopsmith's Whatsit pile is visible outside.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, beezos, I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but there's only one thing left to do!

''{Cut to the mountains, where everyone flies through the air while music plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Jumping fun! 
You're jumping through the air. 
Jumping fun!

''{The King and his men all fall toward the pile of whatsit. Freeze-frame just before they all hit the pile, then fade through white to the table, where everybody is covered in whatsit, has odor clouds and is eating pizza.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|thumb|Original title card]]
*The animation style is much more loosely [[Stylized Character Designs|stylized]] than it was in the teaser at the beginning of [[senior prom]]. Also, the background has changed from a reflective red background with horizontal lines to a dull flat red with lighter shades in circles towards the top of the screen.
*This is the first appearance of The Little Chef Guy and The Cleric since [[The King of Town DVD]].
*This is the first time The Knight and The Cleric have spoken in a cartoon. The Little Chef Guy and The Blacksmith previously had very small speaking roles in [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Remarks===
*The Cleric is now clad in purple, the traditional color of bishops' vestments in the [[Wikipedia:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] and [[Wikipedia:Anglicanism|Anglican]] churches.
*While the Blacksmith is spraying the Poopsmith with perfume, there are still sounds of a hammer hitting an anvil in the background even though the anvil is in picture and there is no indication that the Blacksmith has other employees.
*The Knight is voiced by [[Mike Chapman]].

===Goofs===
*When the Chef comes to the door on the tongue, the tongue's line disappears.
*When the King of Town answers the door, the chef isn't standing on a tongue.
*When the Poopsmith is tied to the stake, he no longer has an odor cloud around him.
*In the last scene, the Hornblower doesn't have an odor cloud around him.
*When the Blacksmith is pouring perfume into his bellows, some of the perfume pokes through the neck of its container.

===Inside References===
*This short is a reference to [[senior prom]], in which the King of Town gets his own cartoon show, only to be quickly preempted by [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad's Very Popular Cartoon Show]]. The King acknowledges this when he says "For reals this time!"
*This is another mention of [[pizza]].
*This is another mention of [[showering]].

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Ryan Sterrit]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who allowed this to happen? Who allowed this to happen!?

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad! We— We owed him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We've owed him what?

'''MIKE:''' We owed him a cartoon. A very own, quite popular cartoon show.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but it was the big fake-out, right? I got him cancelled, 'cause I'm too great.

'''MIKE:''' Well, uh, what do you think about the chef here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's creepier than ever!

'''MIKE:''' Do you ever get, uh, pizzas delivered by the chef?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! I would not let that guy near me. Kingy-ding?

'''MIKE:''' What does he call you? The chef.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, does he have a little—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strongy-bong.

'''MIKE:''' Strongy-bong?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I smack him.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I can see that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, why does he— Why does everyone look so weird and different, The Poopsmith—

'''MIKE:''' It's style, Strong Bad! It's called—

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Poopsmith looks like he's like a— a, like, middle-aged man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he looks—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He doesn't look like his usual, uh... what do you call them? ...albino self.

'''MIKE:''' It's style Strong Bad, trust me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's your voice, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is. I was never real happy with that voice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me neither.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' You shoulda done it, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, here I'll redo it. "Oh, I'm dead! Oh, let me out of this dragon's mouth, 'cause I'm—"

'''MIKE:''' Um, a little less Strong Bad. A little less Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a higher pitch}'' "—'cause I'm dead!"

'''MIKE:''' Uh, talk to Ryan now, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ryan, say something about that puffy cloud of perfume.

'''RYAN:''' It's not penetrating... the defense.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The— The stink-fense?

'''RYAN:''' The stank.

'''MIKE:''' That, uh, puffy perfume cloud used to have a face, and looked like a... much more of a human cloud, and we changed it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm so bored, you guys, of this cartoon.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really bored.

'''MIKE:''' But look at this! Football! You like football, don't you? Don't you watch football?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I love that blacksmith, man! The Blacksmith— why isn't The Blacksmith the star of everything? Of, like, the world. He should be the President, and the Universe, and, uh, Andre the Giant. He should win all the high offices.

'''MIKE:''' Andre the Giant's not a— that's not a— he's not an elected official. "The Giant"— that was just a nickname.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but it's Andre the Giant. Who's like— Who's running for Andre the Giant this year?

'''MIKE:''' Uh... King Kong Bundy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll— he— he can get it. He's a contender.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe... One Man Gang?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh.

'''MIKE:''' So, they're all covered with dirt, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, dude. That's wat-sit. 

'''MIKE:''' Wat-sit?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mm-hmm. Disgusting wat-sit. That's too bad. I like the skulls in that dragon's eyes, though.

'''MIKE:''' I wish that would— I hope that happens to me when I die.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I want mine— eyes turning to Xs.

'''MIKE:''' I hope my tongue comes out, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. That means you're dead.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't you believe a word of it, Tube Socks. I love you guys. I don't know what I'd do without my yearly pair.

''{Zoom out to a silhouette of the scene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But a guy's gotta keep up appearances, right? If peoples found out I have a soft spot for tube socks, it'd be all over. ''{a pair of tube socks appears, and the stripes cycle between several colors.}'' It took me years to live down that Martina...

''{Cut to a poster of Martina Navratilova playing tennis on the wall of The Basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Navratilova poster, and I will not go down that road again.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad writing his note at The Brick Wall.}''

''{Camera zooms out. The ticking grows quicker, the top of the dynamite pops open, with [[Old-Timey Marzipan's Contraption]] revealing a large pistol, out of which a cement mixer emerges and drops a bear trap around Rumble Red.

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Argyle (pattern)|Argyle]] is a pattern containing diamonds in a diagonal checkerboard arrangement.
*On [[Wikipedia:Speculation|Spec]] refers to doing work without the assurance of income.
*"D'screetret Santa" is a play on the Christmas gift-exchange practice of "[[Wikipedia:Secret Santa|Secret Santa]]".
*The "und" from Coach Z's list is the [[Wikipedia: German|German]] word for "and".
*What Rumble Red does have on his planet (long lines, expensive bread) is a reference to the state of affairs in the Soviet Union prior to its collapse, when the Soviets had to stand in extremely long lines to receive their rations, and when staple foods like bread were scarce, and therefore expensive to procure. This relates to The Homestar Runner calling Rumble Red a "Communist fool" in [[4 branches]]. Also, "red" is a common nickname for a communist.
*In general, a [[Wikipedia:Rhinestone Cowboy|rhinestone cowboy]] is any man who wears the elaborate, stylized western wear made by rodeo tailors, especially as contrasted to a working cowboy or ranch hand.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Last3itemsinpantry.PNG|thumb|A meal fit for a King of Town.]]
*"The King of Town's Last Three Items in the Pantry Special!" reads:
<blockquote>
The King of Town's 
Last Three Items in the Pantry Special! 
onion salt 
hot sauce 
lumps of coal 
$f.ood 
</blockquote>

*Coach Z's clipboard reads:
<blockquote>
plays: 
-the runaround 
-the picket fence 
-the stanislaw 
-the local gentry 
-cake und pie 
-eyeball eyeball
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
[[Image:XweenHandwriting.png|thumb|Handwriting comparison]]
*The AhnbergHand [[font]] that Strong Bad uses for writing his letter has a modified uppercase "I". The uppercase I in this font normally has a dot on it and is often mistaken for a [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]]. However, Strong Bad does not use the capital I consistently; he still uses lowercase i's at the beginning of two sentences.
*In Strong Bad's letter, he remarks about how much he secretly likes tube socks, yet the picture he draws at the bottom shows socks that have a distinct heel.
*When Strong Bad writes his letter, the words on the paper he's writing on are illegible. When Strong Sad writes his letter, it is legible. 
*The way Homestar has a towel around his neck gives the impression that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|shoulders]].
*Ironically, Strong Bad makes an appearance as what he considers to be "an anti gift": a homemade ornament (as seen in [[what I want]]).
*Considering Strong Sad does not seem to have normal [[Soolnds|feet]], it is odd that he would want a pair of Argyle socks for [[Decemberween]].
*When the Strong Sad ornament falls off the tree, he breaks as soon as he leaves the frame. Given that the bottom of the frame is well above the ground, he is smashed before he actually hits it.

===Goofs===
*In the locker room short, the ends of Homestar Runner's towel are rolled in contradictory directions.
*In the song Homestar sings to Coach Z, the word "say" on the chalkboard moves when the word "wouds" comes up.
*When Homestar tells Coach Z "No!" (that he can't come to his house) half of Homestar's towel is broken in half behind his head.
*When it zooms up to the Homestar cookie, the ribbon holding him to the branch isn't completely there.

===Inside References===
*This collection of Decemberween shorts is the second collection of short shorts (the first being [[Summer Short Shorts]]).
*The Coach Z ornament is from [[1974]].
**The ornament was first seen in [[what I want]].
*The Blue Star [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|Ointment]] at the top of Coach Z's tree was first seen in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Strong Bad was seen modeling for [[tube socks]] in the email [[modeling]].
*The Homestar Runner's hat is based on the one modern-day Homestar wears in the wintertime.
*The scene with Coach Z and Homestar feature many references:
**Coach Z was also seen with [[Listerine]] in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[senior prom]].
**Coach Z getting drunk from Listerine is another reference to [[alcohol]].
**Coach Z sits on the [[Soapbox]].
**Coach Z's clipboard mentions [[pie]] and [[cake]].
**The [[Puke Pail]] next to Coach Z is the same one as in [[Sick Day]], but now says 'PUKE PAIL FOR WHOEV!' instead of 'PUKE PAIL FOR HIM!'.
***The term "WHOEV" is a reference to [[Words with Omitted Syllables|omitted syllable words]].
*This is another appearance of "[[What are you supposed to be?]]".
*Rumble Red was first seen in [[4 branches]].
*"D'screetret" is a [[portmanteau]] of "discreet" and "secret".
*Strong Sad's broken ornament is a reference to [[Death#Strong Sad|his imagined death]].
*The King of Town's Last Three Items in the Pantry Special is an example of a [[concoction]].
*The "bat-winged Strong Bad head" in Strong Bad's signature was last seen in [[interview]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|Strong Bad hurting Strong Sad]].
*When Strong Bad and Strong Sad write about socks, the writing at the top is a similar to a scene from [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], in which Strong Sad writes Strong Bad a letter.
*Coach Z saying that the '74s were the prime of his dating "year" is an example of [[Singular Instead of Plural]].
*The King of Town's "Last Three Items in the Pantry Special" isn't quite, but technically a [[Real-Live Foods|live-action food]].
*The King of Town implies he wants to [[Characters Being Eaten|eat himself]].
**Homestar also implies this, but only when in cookie form.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Martina Navratilova|Martina Navratilova]] is a former World No. 1 woman tennis player.
*The [[Wikipedia:Predator (alien)|Predator]] is a fictional alien hunter from the movie series of the same name. He could turn invisible by using light refraction.
*Strong Bad and Strong Sad writing letters on a wall is a reference to the [[Peanuts]] Christmas Specials, where the characters write letters to Santa in the same position.
*The Strong Bad ornament "bedazzling" the Strong Sad ornament off the tree may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Bedazzler|Bedazzler]], which uses cheap, shiny plastic beads much like the Strong Bad ornament.
*The "Picket Fence" is a basketball play from the film ''[[Wikipedia: Hoosiers|Hoosiers]]'', specifically the one used by tiny Hickory High School to win the [[Indiana]] state title.
*Another one of Coach Z's plays is called "the local gentry". ''[[Wikipedia: Gentry|Gentry]]'' are higher class members of society, such as rich people or those of good breeding. The term "the local gentry" was used in the song [[Wikipedia: Love and Marriage|"Love and Marriage"]], made famous by [[Wikipedia: Frank Sinatra|Frank Sinatra]] and later used as the theme song of the TV show ''[[Wikipedia: Married with Children|Married with Children]]''.
*The format of this toon could be a reference to shows such as ''[[Wikipedia:Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales|Charlie Brown]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Simpsons Christmas Stories|The Simpsons]],'' both of which recently have had Christmas specials composed of shorts.
*The format may also be a reference to the shorts that are used in [[Wikipedia:The Red Green Show|The Red Green Show]].
*Homestar thinking Strong Bad is a "Rhinestone Cowboy" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Rhinestone Cowboy|song of the same name]] by [[Wikipedia:Glen Campbell|Glen Campbell]].

*The song 'Cheer up Coach Z' appears again in [[Hooked on Decemberween]].

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

'''MIKE:''' Look it's—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' All right, we're gonna start by pumping our fists in the air and going "woo, woo, woo" guys.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, one, two, three...

''{Mike, Matt and Ryan are heard going, "Whoo, whoo, whoo!" in unison}''

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' Start us off.

'''MIKE:''' Nice shorts, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Hey, those are— that's not my gross legs! ''{Mike and Ryan laugh}'' I don't know ''whose'' gross legs...

'''MIKE:''' Our aunt Carol gives us tube socks usually; it's a great, uh, Christmas present.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Do you still have those shorts?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They were boxers, right?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' Yeah, they're still around here somewhere. Aren't they Photoshopped, too? Didn't you Photoshop that picture, because they didn't— they weren't quite short enough? ''{Mike laughs}'' And so we— I had to fold 'em over...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that's right.

'''MATT:''' ...uh, to make them a little creepier. And then, uh, you Photoshopped the waistband, I think. ''{pause}'' It's funny, 'cause th— there was a period where Aunt Carol gave us the tube socks and it was lame, 'cause you were, like, in, you know, it was, like, in—

'''MIKE:''' Seventh or eighth grade and you wanted a Nintendo game.

'''MATT:''' Right. Or you just didn't want— you didn't wear tube socks with stripes on 'em. Then it was, like, you got into, like, ninth grade and you listened to the Chili Peppers and you— and it was ''weird''...

'''MIKE:''' You needed it—

'''MATT:''' ...and so you pull your socks ''way'' up to your knees.

'''MIKE:''' W—

'''MATT:''' And, uh...

'''MIKE:''' The Chili Peppers did ''different'' things with tube socks...

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' ...than pull them up to their knees.

'''MATT:''' Uh... but so, they— her— her gift kind of went in and out of— of being cool.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I hate 'em now, actually.

'''MATT:''' No, no!

'''MIKE:''' I'm sure when I'm 36 I'll like 'em again. But as a 34-year-old, they're lame.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' That's, uh... you did a good job on the— that looks like gingerbread, Mike. That's— I wanna eat— I wanna eat that. But it looks like one of those gingerbread ornaments that's, like, dried and gross.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's— that's from, like, the— the late '70s.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' So, actually I don't— I don't wanna eat it.

'''MIKE:''' Our grandma had this, uh, gingerbread house that was sooo old... and terrible, but you still wanted to eat it!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, it was— it was amazing. There was nothing resembling, like, edible candy left on it. There were maybe a few gumdrops that had just, like, melted and were glazed over, but... I'd still pick at it, for sure. ''{Matt and Ryan laugh}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{as the Strong Bad ornament talks about which 'ween it is}'' Somebody made that, right? Didn't we— Did we put that fanstuff up?

'''MIKE:''' I think it was a really bad picture.

'''MATT:''' Oh, is that what it was? It was, like, a cell phone picture?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It was out of focus? But the—

'''RYAN:''' Go ahead and send it in, then.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Mike Ryan laugh}''

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Look how proud Strong Sad is of—

'''MATT:''' He's a Swarovski, maybe.

'''MIKE:''' What's that?

'''MATT:''' Don't they make fine crystal some— someplace. We got a Swarovski ornament for our— our— a wedding present, I remember.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{doing Strong Sad's voice, just after the Strong Sad ornament falls off the tree}'' Oh!

''{pause, Mike and Matt laugh as the Strong Mad present does his line}''

'''MATT:''' Strong Mad can't be contained in the confines of a... ornament.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{brief pause as the Old-Timey scene begins}''

'''RYAN:''' Old-Timey.

'''MATT:''' It's been a long time s— This is the last Old-Timey thing we've done, aside from— aside from Rumble Red, uh, cameos, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. This was— Most of the Rumble Red was before this, right?

'''MATT:''' Well, just one. It w—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' It was really just the... polymascotfoamalate—

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' —was where he came from, and then this... This is the first mention of his name, too, right? I mean—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think so.

'''MATT:''' —this is when they officially call him Rumble Red.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, Mike and I have wa— There were these, umm, awesome industrial shorts — cartoons — from back in, what, the '50s, maybe?

'''MIKE:''' '50s, yeah.

'''MATT:''' '40s and '50s. That were, uh... always, like, an alien from another planet coming to Earth and learning about industry...

'''MIKE:''' Or learning about car production, or oil. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' Or learning about... competition, or gasoline. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And they always were, like, "But on Mars, we don't do it like that!" ''{Mike laughs}'' "Well, that's why you're stupid, Mr. Martian!" And then he'd go back at the end and show them all.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' That's— They killed him. They just decapitated him.

''{brief pause while The Homestar Runner says, "A Decemberween tradition!"}''

'''MATT:''' Murdering aliens! That's ''great'', Old-Timey Homestar!

''{Mike and Matt chuckle as Strong Sad writes "Dear Argyle Socks,"}''

'''MATT:''' And we're out!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Umm... is there any more?

'''MATT:''' I like these short shorts. What's our next—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, we've got—

'''MATT:''' —short short gonna be, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... let's see. How 'bout "Ryan's Birthday Short Shorts"?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' But we're a little late.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' When's your birthday? July?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

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

'''RYAN:''' Maybe next year.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Maybe next year.

'''MATT:''' This, umm... This was gonna be a full cartoon, right? For, like, several years we had written— started to kind of write this full Decemberween cartoon about Coach Z being really depressing, and Homestar trying to make him not feel depressing.

'''MIKE:''' When was it— Was it... Decemberween the year before when Coach Z's talking on the... disconnected phone to his parents?

'''RYAN:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a couple years before. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' But it was Decemberween that he was doing that? Eating by himself?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Yeah. ''{laughing}'' It really brings out the worst in Coach Z. Decemberween.

''{Mike laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Sounds like ''Homestar'' needs to learn to say wouds wide.

''{pause until Homestar begins floating across the screen, wiggling}''

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' What are y— What are you doing, Homestar?

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Wiggle, waggle.

'''MIKE:''' All right. Ryan? Your turn.

'''RYAN:''' Hey, guys.

'''MATT:''' See— I had originally made, uh, the cheeks of that giant Coach Z butt, like, pulsating.

''{Ryan laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Ewwww...

'''MATT:''' It was a little— It was a little too creepy.

'''MIKE:''' The censors!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It was, uh... It reminded me of some Ren & Stimpy thing. It seems like Stimpy's butt cheeks would always get really shiny and start, like, making the balloon noises, like...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think— In "Happy Happy Joy Joy", I think he does some butt dancing.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like Homestar's construction hat/football helmet.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{also overlapping Matt}'' Football helmet.

'''MATT:''' There should be a real football— Some team, should just be the... The Construction Workers.

'''MIKE:''' The Steelers.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there you go. The Steelworkers.

Quote of the Week

Oddball XP — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:31:46 GMT

Oddball XP: Added source to 31 Aug 2006 - though it is debatable, it is probably better than no source.

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The September 27, 2007 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Polychaete|polychaete worms]], a class of worms that are known for their bristles and marine environments.
*The March 5, 2009 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Xanthan gum|xanthan gum]], a common ingredient in gluten-free baking, and bulgar (or [[Wikipedia:Bulgur|bulgur]]), which is prepared from gluten-containing wheat.

===Trivia===
*The remix in the June 25, 2009 quote was originally called "Power Crunch" and is [http://dod.vgmix.com/past/sep08/05tie-VikingGuitar-Stinkoman20X6-Crunch-DoD.mp3 available unedited].
*In Bubs's quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.
*Until August 9, 2007, the Quote of the Week of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record; however, so far there have been 27 weeks since the Decomposing Pumpkins Quote had been released on October 22, 2009, and there has yet to be a new quote.

===Remarks===
*Occasionally, some quotes are used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice on February 17, 2005, and June 7, 2005. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases was slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice on June 16, 2005, and October 20, 2005, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs's quote for March 25, 2005 ("Everybody knows me. My name Cornbread."), is very similar to his quote for February 16 2006 ("I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread.").
**The Homestar Runner's "Well, folks, you know what that means..." quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
**The quotes released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were originally identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being released. The quote it was changed to was suggested in the edit summary of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707 the edit adding Sickly Sam's quote to this page].
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.

===Goofs===
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" in the [[Wikipedia:ID3|ID3]] tag. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*In the January 31, 2008 quote, "carrageenan" is misspelled "carageenan".
*In the March 13, 2008 quote, the "The" in The Cheat's name is not capitalized, and there is no comma after "blows". "Blowhole" is also misspelled as two words.
*The July 10, 2008 quote reads "taken out ''if''" instead of "of it".
*In the October 16, 2008 quote's text, the word "hundred" appears after "200".

===Inside References===
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*The text can also be:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad's quote about tai chi may be a nod to The Simpsons episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMЯ]", which had a similar tai chi/chai tea gag.
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron-hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*In the August 9, 2007 quote, Bubs spells [[Wikipedia:Nestle|Nestles]], a Swiss maker of candy and other food products. It's a reference to Nestle's [http://www.archive.org/download/RadioCommercialsShows/Commercials.19xx.xx.xx_N_E_S_T_L_E_S.mp3 long standing jingle], "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best", especially its Alpine White version from the '80s, "Sweet dreams you can't resist. N-E-S-T-L-E-S."
*The September 13, 2007 quote references [[Wikipedia:Frosty|Frosties]] and [[Wikipedia:McFlurry|McFlurries]], ice cream treats served at [[Wikipedia:Wendy's|Wendy's]] and [[McDonald's]], respectively.
*In the March 26, 2009 quote, Homestar mentions [[Wikipedia:Darryl Strawberry|Darryl Strawberry]], a former Major League Baseball player.
*In the 04 June 2009 quote, D&D Greg mentions the "Talenta Halflings" and "riding dinosaurs". This refers to the [[Wikipedia:Eberron|Eberron Campaign Setting]] of Dungeons and Dragons, where the Talenta Plains are the homelands of the halflings, who do indeed ride on large raptor-like dinosaurs and herd various breeds of herbivorous dinosaurs.
*In the 15 Oct 2009 quote, Coach Z mentions "Paughkeegan", which might be referring to [[Wikipedia:Waukegan, Illinois|Waukegan]], a suburb of Chicago. Coach Z's accent is distinctly Upper Midwestern, which makes it very plausible that he'd know a person from Waukegan (or "Paughkeegan").

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Five}}, {{dvd|Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD|notitle=true}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The concession stand turns dark with only a yellow light shining from the top. Bubs slowly sinks into the basement, as if on an elevator.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Return to the Lappy}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Fast Forward===
*The Cheat's Indie-tronic remix would later be heard on Pom Pom's cell phone in [[technology]], as well as in [[Strong Badia the Free]] as background music at Club Technochocolate.
*The [[Coches Mountains]] are once again mentioned in [[looking old]].
*Coach Z again imitated sound effects (with similar results) in [[Happy Hallow-day]].
*Bubs descends into his basement again in [[winter pool]].

===Commentary Transcript===

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

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

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

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

'''MATT:''' Right.

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

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

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

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

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

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Having—

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

'''MATT:''' Go—

'''MIKE:''' Ah— I love The Show.

'''MATT:''' Do you?

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' There's the—

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Ha!

'''MATT:''' We—

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

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

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

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

''{both laugh}''

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

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

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

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

''{pause until The Teach appears}''

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

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

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

'''MIKE:''' Right. Talking about snowboarding in the Coches.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{long pause}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References

Oddball XP — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 00:58:27 GMT

Oddball XP: Added information about Hadoken and how it relates

There are dozens of video game references in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

==General==
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Negatory is [[Wikipedia:Citizens' band radio|Citizens' Band Radio]] (CB) [http://www.cbgazette.com/slang.html slang] for no or negative.
*[http://www.protekdevices.com/aboutProtek00.htm Protek] is a Tempe, AZ based company specializing in Transient Voltage Suppression products. This may explain why the Protek enemy is an electric outlet.
*Stratosfear is the name of albums by both The Unisex and Tangerine Dream, and is a pun relating to the [[Wikipedia:Stratosphere|stratosphere]].
*In Slam Dunk Ernest, Ernest's jersey number is "-0".
*"Prawn Salad" was a phrase used in the "Live From the Grill-O-Mat" episode of [[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Flying Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]] as a bizarre lead-in to the "Accidents" sketch.
*Ekersby is also the name of a coffee table formerly sold by [[Wikipedia:IKEA|IKEA]].
*[[Deliberately Poor English|Engrish]] is very prevalent in this game; it is a reference to poor translations in some older video games.

== [[Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Entertainment System]] ==
*The game controller Stinkoman is holding in the cutscene for level 5.1 bears a striking resemblance to the redesigned NES controller (AKA the dogbone controller).
* The square areas around Stinkoman's face as it fades in on the intro screen are a reference to the method many NES games used to fade large images and backgrounds. Some games exhibited similar color artifacts and glitches primarily due to the NES's small color palette.

== [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|''Mega Man'' series]] ==

=== Graphics ===
* The sprites for Stinkoman and the enemies Poorbt and Astromund are patterned after sprites in the ''Mega Man'' games for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
** Additionally, the sprites for the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] are taken directly from ''Mega Man''.
** It is likely that these sprites are based after the 8-bit Megaman sprites from the original ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic| Mega Man series]]''.
* When shooting at enemies, you are limited to three projectiles on screen at a time. This is a direct reference to the original ''Mega Man'' series, where the Mega Buster could only fire up to three shots at a time. Older video game consoles only allowed limited amount of sprites at a time. For the NES, only 64 sprites can be on screen at a time with only a maximum of 8 sprites in the same given line.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman in the game's box art is likely a reference to the first two ''Mega Man'' games. The box art for the American versions of those games featured a similarly muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game. The first game's box art was particularly inconsistent, showing Mega Man with a middle-aged complexion and fully realistic body proportions, as well as blue and yellow armor.
** This practice of creating conflicting box art for American video games was a common practice until around the time the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] was released.

=== Sounds and Music ===
* The sound effects for text appearing in the cinematics are taken from ''Mega Man'' for the NES.
* The chime sound in the intro screen and main menu mirrors ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X|Mega Man X]]'' for the SNES but appears to be featured in [[Under Construction]].
* Most of the music in Stinkoman 20X6 is patterned after the music from the entire ''Mega Man'' series.
** Technically, the music is most like the music from the SNES line of ''Mega Man'' games, as it is more complex and synthetic than the music that the 8-bit NES is capable of producing.
*The [[Stinkoman 20X6 Remarks#sped_up|sped-up quotes]] are a reference to Megaman X, where you could unlock the hadouken-in turn, a reference to Street Fighter II. The "Hadouken!" shout is sped up.
*The whistle used to summon the Stinkowing in Level 9 is similar to the whistle used to call Rush in the Game Boy game, Mega Man 2: Return of Mega Man.

=== Characters ===
* In the attract screen, Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan flash onto the screen in a similar fashion to the character introduction in the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man: The Power Battle|Mega Man: The Power Battle]]'' (featuring Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass).
** A similar character introduction is featured in the ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic Advance|Sonic Advance]]'' series for the [[Wikipedia:GameBoy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] and [[Wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES game)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]], as well as many other video games, animes, and other media. Though Mega Man has technically used this, it is more likely to be a reflection of anime as a whole, as evidenced in other appearances of Stinkoman.
* The intro to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]] is a parody of Mega Man's limited jumping ability.
* Stinkoman taking the large gray fist as a "new powerup" in Level 3 is a reference to Mega Man's ability to take on the powers of defeated bosses.
** Internally, Stinkoman with the fist is called "Fistman", a reference to the naming scheme of most bosses in ''Mega Man''.
* The contrast between the combat mechanics for Stinkoman (shooting at enemies from afar) and 1-Up (kicking enemies with melee attacks) calls to mind the two main characters from the ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X (series)|Mega Man X series]]'', X and [[Wikipedia:Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]]. Where as X uses his arm cannon to fight enemies at a range, Zero uses a beam saber to attack foes up-close.

=== [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|Enemies and Hazards]] ===
* '''Stobat''' (first seen in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|Level 2]]) is similar to a chicken robot in ''Mega Man 5''.
* '''Old Sage''' is similar to the instant-death spikes that are usually placed under moving platforms in various ''Mega Man'' levels.
* The '''trap-door platforms''' refer to the first ''Mega Man'' game, in which similar platforms are found in Guts Man's stage.
* '''Greggo''' is similar to Metall (also known as Mettaur, Metool, Met, or Hard Hat), which was also invincible while ducking.
* '''The Bendini Sisters''' in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] are similar to the meteorites that fall in Star Man's stage in ''Mega Man 5''.
* The '''"Evil Fortress"''' seen at the beginning and end of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] is a parody of the Skull Castle/Fortress in ''Mega Man''.
*'''Poorbt''' behaves similarly to Sniper Joe.
*The trap doors behave similarly to the trap doors in Wind Man's stage in Mega Man 6.

== [[Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]] ==
* '''My Benj''' is similar to the Bit enemies in ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' for the NES.
* '''Stlunko''' is similar to many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in the ''Zelda'' series — for example, Bongo-Bongo from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Gohdan from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and Mazaal from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''.
* '''Saargtsson''' is very similar in appearance and style to [http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Moldorm Moldorm] from the ''Zelda'' series.

== [[Mario|Super Mario Bros.]]==
* '''Firey-Hot''' is a recolor of the fire cannons' blasts in the airship levels of ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
* '''Old Sage''' looks similar to the spikes found in the moon level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]''.
* '''The Liekand''' is very similar in appearance to Fryguy, from ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2.]]'' Fryguy, the Level 4 boss, is a flame that wears sunglasses.
**The fact that The Liekand turns into a mouse could be another reference to the game, as one of the bosses is Mouser, who is also a mouse that also wears sunglasses.
* The [[Stinkomanual]] mentions that this game has no "weepy princess crap", a reference to the ''Super Mario'' series (among others) in which the primary plot is to rescue a helpless princess.
* The phrase "Hold B" refers primarily to numerous Nintendo games in which you gain a boost of some sort by holding down the 'B' button. For example, in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' series, holding 'B' makes you run faster, and in ''Mega Man'', holding 'B' charges up your shot for a more powerful hit.
** In Stinkoman 20X6, holding down the 'S' key allows you to rapid-fire.
* Many NES games featured the letter 'P' (presumably for "Power") in various forms, such as the P-switches, P-Wings and P-Gauges in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This may explain the collectible Ps in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]].
* The name for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0 (Negatory)]] is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]] level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''; a glitch that could be found by walking through a wall in Level 1-2.
*The fact that Stinkoman controls a hovercraft in Level 9 could be a reference to ''Super Mario Land'', in which Mario had to pilot a plane through one level.

==[[Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong Country]]==

* '''Tampo''' moves in a similar way to that of [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest|Krow]], the first boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' for the SNES.
*Pan Pan's disappearance references many games in which a random character is kidnapped — for example, ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''3''.

== [[Video Games (allusions)|Other Games]] ==
* The death sound effect is taken from the NES Ninja Gaiden series. Specifically, it is the player damage sound effect.
* If you sit still for a while, your character becomes bored and yawns or falls asleep. This gag was first used in an old PC game called ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', and has since been used in countless video games.
* 1-Up's spin-kick is similar to the [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick).
** [[Homestar Runner]] also uses this move in the email [[dangeresque 3]], but mispronounces it as "The pipes are broken".
* '''Jaro's''' explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''The Adventures of Rad Gravity'' for the NES.
* The music for Level 1's opening scene is taken from [[Wikipedia:SSX Tricky|SSX Tricky]].
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|Tampo]]''' appears to have been modeled after [[Wikipedia:List of characters in the Star Fox series#Andross|Andross]], the final boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]''. Andross's "true form" is that of a giant floating brain (with eyeballs, unlike Tampo), and both he and Tampo have the same weak point: the [[Wikipedia:Cerebellum|cerebellum]].
* The sound effect for Tampo's destruction is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' for the NES.
* Stinkoman's pose with the giant fist at the end of Level 3 is a reference to some of the poses in ''[[Wikipedia:Battletoads|Battletoads]]''.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Level 4]] is a reference to a type of level (often called "Protect The Idiot") used in many video games to give the game some extra variety. In these kinds of levels, a secondary character blindly walks straight forward and depends on the player to clear obstacles and pitfalls.
* In [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5.2]], you can see a planet in the background that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]'' for the SNES.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Level 6]] parodies countless video games that include cloud stages.
** In particular, the "pink cloud zone" in this is most likely a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Earthbound (series)|Earthbound]]'', in which the sixth "Your Sanctuary" location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
** On a similar note, the name of level 6 ends in "Zone", this is an obvious reference to the [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] series, in which many levels end in the word "Zone".
* After defeating '''The Liekand''' in Level 6, it transforms into a rat. This may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]] for the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]], in which defeated enemies almost always revealed their power sources, which were various animals.
* The Shadowy Figure's fleet (The Level 9 enemies) is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic Heroes|Sonic Heroes]]'', in which the Egg Fleet was modeled after fish.
[[Image:ashtar.png|thumb|Muhahahahaha!]]
* The cutscene featuring the [[Shadowy Figure]] at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7]] is a reference to a similar cutscene at the beginning of ''[[Wikipedia:Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden 2]]'' for the NES. This cutscene features Ashtar, the evil boss of the game, seen from behind, surrounded by lightning and laughing maniacally.
* In the cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]], Stinkoman blasts part of the wall in a similar fashion to the [[Wikipedia:Kamehameha (Dragon Ball)|Kamehameha]], an energy attack seen in the ''[[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]]'' manga series.
** This move may also parody the [[Wikipedia:Street_Fighter#Hadouken|Hadoken]] move in the video game series Street Fighter. It should also be noted that one of the Mega Man games (which Stinkoman 20X6 is somewhat based on) contains a secret move, the Hadoken.
* The cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] shows Stinkoman gazing upon the Evil Fortress from atop a rock. This is a direct reference to a similar scene in ''Ninja Gaiden'', in which the main character gazes upon a fortress from atop a mountain.
* The sound effect for the whistle is the sound that plays when you get an item on the NES Castlevania games.
*Level 9 is designed after the shoot em' up game ''[[Wikipedia:Gradius|Gradius]]''.
** '''Broodacre''' is very similar to the volcanos in ''Gradius''.
* After defeating '''Harvax XVII''', the robot boss says "PI...PI...PI...". This message is similar to [[:Image:bionic_commando.png|messages spoken by robots]] in ''[[Wikipedia:Bionic Commando|Bionic Commando]]'' for the NES.
** In addition, Harvax XVII visually resembles minor villain Pinstripe from the superhero video game ''[[Wikipedia:Freedom Force (computer game)|Freedom Force]]''.
* '''The Liekand''' is similar in appearance to Mr. Glitch from ''[[Wikipedia:Mathman|Mathman]]'', a ''[[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]]'' spoof from the PBS series ''[[Wikipedia:Square_One_TV|Square One TV]]''.
* '''Jaro''' looks very similar to the "Red Eye" mini-boss in the Death Egg level from [[Wikipedia:Sonic & Knuckles|Sonic & Knuckles]].
* '''My Benj''' appears to be the starting form of an original [[Wikipedia:Tamagotchi|Tamagotchi]] or the first iteration of the Digimon digital pet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email, na na, na na, na na, nanaNA...

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: family recipes</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
When we grow up we want to be chefs. We wanted to know 
if you had any secret family recipes that you would want 
to share with us so....we can make them! 
 
-Melissa and Hillary (from NJ)</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "The usual" and "NJ" as "Nigeria"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mellie, Hillarious, being from Africa I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. ''{stops typing}'' Uncouth. ''{typing}'' Can something be just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth. Anyways, Couthy, all our family recipes tend to center around the grossing out of or the making puke of friends and well-wishers.

''{The camera cuts back, and we see The Cheat laying on the computer desk flinging floppy disks all over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Let's go try out Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend Ice Cream Showdown!
''{His legs kick to each syllable of Pre-tend Ice Cream Showdown.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, possibly an enthusiastic "Okay!"}''

''{The Cheat stands up. The screen greys and the following text appears.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Strong Bad may or may not have an actual Great Uncle Pawdabber.

''{Cut to the field. Coach Z is standing around holding a basketball.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Man, what is this thing? ''{bounces the basketball once}'' A bounce thing?

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right. Strong Bad is holding what appears to be a bowl of ice cream with yellowish sprinkles, and The Cheat is wearing a towel around his waist.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat! Wow! Look at this! It's our best friend, Coach Z. Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free icèd-c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!

'''COACH Z:''' How could I refuse? ''{throws the basketball over his shoulder}'' I can't afford the money-cost variety!

''{The basketball can be seen falling behind the trees in the background.}''

''{Coach Z takes the ice cream and starts pigging out on it.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooh! Sweet mercy! ''{He eats some more.}'' This is orful! ''{He eats more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur.

''{Coach Z drops the bowl in shock. Strong Bad pulls away The Cheat's towel to reveal that he's been shaved from the waist down.}''

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

'''COACH Z:''' ''{He starts making disgusted noises and coughing up fur.}'' Oof! I think I'm going to puke my pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Please don't elaborate on that.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking normally}'' Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH!

'''THE CHEAT:''' MEEH!

''{Strong Bad and the Cheat run away as Coach Z continues talking.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You take your pants...

''{A recipe card appears on screen reading as follows.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#ffffff;color:#000">Recipe: 
Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend 
Ice Cream Showdown 
 
Ingredients: 
3 scoops (really) sour cream 
1/2 of shaved The Cheat 
1 bowl 
1 languagely challenged vaguely coach type person 
 
Instructions: 
Mix ingredients until golden brown</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For best results, dip The Cheat in egg wash before shaving or else he'll get those red shaving bumpies all over him. Ugh.

''{Cut to the side of the King of Town's castle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' All right, we're mixing this next one up on them, The Cheat. I filled this old Speed Stick—

''{He pulls out some underarm deodorant reading "X-treme Glacier."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with white chocolate and we'll totally gross out or make puke The King of Town when I start eatin' it in front of him!

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

''{Cut to inside the castle. The King of Town is watching TV and eating the same type of Speed Stick we saw Strong Bad with. He also has some more underarm deodorants and spray cans in a bowl next to him.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' You can't marry your guitar, Caleb!

'''CALEB:''' I can try!

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Ole King Droll! Checka me out! I'm eatin'—oh. Never mind.

''{The King of Town picks up a spray can and sprays it in his mouth, then resumes eating the Speed Stick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, shoulda known...

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk out.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No, wait, you guys! Come back! This stuff is strong enough for a man but tasty enough for a king! Don't you want to try any Forest Rush? Or Tundra Mist?

''{A recipe card spins onscreen reading as follows}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#ffffff;color:#000">Recipe: 
Crazy Aunt Eulatherm's Deodorant 
Doppelganger 
 
Ingredients: 
6 oz. white chocolate 
1/2 of shaved The Cheat (for moral support) 
1 kinda cleaned-out De-odor Cake 
 
Instructions: 
Mix ingredients. Preheat oven. Add hot sauce 
if necessary</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, how come deodorants and stuff are always named after biomes anyways?

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan is sitting on the couch reading The Latest News. Homestar walks in carrying one of Strong Bad's Pre-Tend Ice Cream Showdown bowls.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{setting aside her paper, clearly amused}'' Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' WHAT!? ''{He does a spit take, producing some fur.}'' Strong Bad told me it was ''sour cream'' and The Cheat hair! Looks like this is a job for Stupid Uncle Egg's Goodtime Diaper Pie!

''{Homestar walks offscreen to the left. The screen greys and the following text appears on it.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Homestar Runner definitely does not have a Stupid Uncle Egg.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room. A pinecone and bendy straw are in a bowl with a sign next to it reading "not A pimecone, diaper pie! i mean reg-ular pie." Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it looks ''totally'' real. I swear, no one'll be able to tell! Oh, what's this?

''{Strong Bad picks up the sign and reads it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Not a pimecone." Well, he's got that right!

''{Homestar pokes his head in from the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, look, it's my best friends Cheat and The Strong Bad! Hey, I heard you guys been eatin' some serious regular pie in here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah, man! We've even got some left over if you want it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well if it's anywhere near as good as your free ice cream!

''{Homestar puts the pine cone in his mouth and starts crunching it up. The Cheat and Strong Bad look at each other incredulously.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with his mouth full}'' Well, so long, suckers!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It's like, even when we win, he wins.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you go girls. Recipes for the ages. But if you really want to be chefs when you grow up, we've got a super-secret family recipe for cooking the C-H-E-blank-T ''{types this as "C H E _ T"}''

''{The Cheat makes a very angry noise from offscreen and chucks a floppy disk reading "YOU JERK!" at Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! ''{typing}'' And of course that blank is for the letter K. The Chekt. My family's got a great recipe for cooking the Chekt. Yeah, yeah. ''{He only types one "yeah."}'' We're mostly from Bumdumbourge. It's near, uh, Totalslava. "Come down off that smokestack and eat your the Chekt!" my poopaw used to say. Ah, my dear poopaw, I miss you so.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' I think the Cheat bought it. Let me know if you want that recipe.

*[http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=couth "Couth"] means "possessing a high degree of sophistication" or "refined".
=== Trivia ===
*When Strong Bad is talking to The Cheat flinging the discs, if you manage to zoom in on the [[Lappy 486|Lappy's]] screen, you'll find out that some different stuff is typed in (not all of it is visible due to Strong Bad's head blocking the Lappy screen):
<blockquote class="lappy email">
so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. Can something be 
just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth. 
I wouldn't put that past him. Not that you could put 
anything past that guy. Y'know on account of he's so fat.

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#battle chess|battle chess]]". The floppy disk that The Cheat throws at Strong Bad reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#you JERK|you JERK!]]"
*This is the first appearance of [[deodorant]].

=== Remarks ===
*Surprisingly, though this email heavily concerns food, no [[Real-Live Foods|live-action food]] appears, despite the Brothers Chaps' admittance that it is a favorite feature of theirs.
*The way Marzipan is sitting is evidence against the theory that Marzipan's lower body is skirt-shaped.
*Strong Bad refers to a "Totalslava". "Slava" means "fame" or "glory" in multiple [[Wikipedia:Slavic languages|Slavic languages]] such as [[Wikipedia:Czech language|Czech]] (sláva) and [[Wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]] (слава).

*This is the only time when we see Homestar with the "one-eyebrow-up-one-eyebrow-down" expression.
*When Coach Z bounces the basketball, it sounds as if it's bouncing on cement or asphalt.
*The recipe card says to use a "1 kinda cleaned-out De-odor Cake". Strong Bad uses "X-treme Glacier".

=== Goofs ===
*After Strong Bad types "well-wishers." and the camera zooms out to Strong Bad and The Cheat, there is a blank strip of black two lines above the "well-wishers" line that had been filled in before.
*When Strong Bad reads the "pimecone" card, the computer screen is almost blank except for "and well-wishers." written in the same area where Strong Bad typed it before.
*In Marzipan's newspaper, the word "easy" should be "easier".
*During the "I'm gonna puke my pants!" scene, Strong Bad's mouth is partly off his head.
*During the "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman?" Easter Egg, the scribbling on the post-it note closest to the ground flickers slightly during the animation.
*When Strong Bad gives Coach Z the "ice cream", his right (viewer's left) eye seems slightly too small, even with distance.

=== Glitches ===
*After Homestar spits the "ice cream" out of his mouth and turns back towards Marzipan, a white box appears on the shadow of the right (viewers' left) side of his face for one frame.

=== Inside References ===
*The newspaper Marzipan is reading is the exact same one (down to the repeating text) she was reading in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The book in the Easter egg is titled "So You Want to Cook a [[Wrestleman]]", a word that has described Strong Bad previously.
*On the first recipe card where it says "Mix ingredients until golden brown" may be reference to the [[Homestar Quiz]] after you win.
*The towel that the Cheat is wearing appears to be either the same as, or very similar to, the one worn by Homestar in "[[Main Page 14]]."
*The use of the '96 on the card is quite possibly a reference to the year that [[Original Book|the original Homestar Runner book]] was created, during the [[Wikipedia:1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Summer Olympics]] held in Atlanta, Georgia.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Ryan Sterritt]], [[Craig Zobel]])

'''MIKE:''' Uh oh. Strong Bad's here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, it's true, you guys. Who's gonna tolerate it?

'''RYAN:''' It's gonna—It's chronicling one of your greatest pranks yet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right. You guys were around for this. Huh? Were you?

'''RYAN:''' We watched it all on TVD.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, me too.

'''MIKE:''' Really the only good thing about this email is the introduction of "Caleb Rentpayer."

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{angrily}'' What? Why you gonna... jock me like that?

'''RYAN:''' I disagree, Mike.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Downplay my accomplishments. Look, I just accused those girls of eating lions. ''{Mike laughs}'' That's great! I think there's just— The abbreviation "NJ" means Nigeria. ''{Mike laughs}'' That is comedy at its finest.

'''MIKE:''' That's pretty funny.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Brian!

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, that's pretty good right there; the making puke of—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Exactly.

'''MIKE:''' Kinda switch up the word—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look! What's The Cheat doing, man?

'''CRAIG:''' What's the game of the day, Ryan?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's tossing my stuff all over.

'''RYAN:''' Battle Chess. ''{pause}'' Pawdabber.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, this is good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy is clueless.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' He doesn't even know what a basketball is.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was gonna start calling him "Z" cause he does not— He's not a coach of anything.

'''CRAIG:''' I should have guessed what was gonna happen with the towel around him, but—

'''MIKE:''' Did you not know?

'''CRAIG:''' No, it's talking about—

'''MIKE:''' ''I'' knew.

'''CRAIG:''' I asked Steve about it, too... when I first watched it. Why does The Cheat have a towel around him? ''{Mike chuckles}'' And then you find out!

'''MIKE:''' I had made a shaved The Cheat several weeks prior just— I think just to have. I just—

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's nice to have a shaved The Cheat lying around.

'''RYAN:''' Ohhh hooo ohh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh. And the fact that when Coach Z coughs up you see the little hairs come out. Oh, puke my pants. That's—

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ryan Sterritt made that up. Ryan? Talk about it.

'''MIKE:''' Yet another example of us stealing—

'''STRONG BAD:''' At least—

'''MIKE:''' —from our friends.

'''STRONG BAD:''' At least you pay this guy.

'''MIKE:''' That's true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ryan, give 'em— Tell 'em how where it came from.

'''RYAN:''' Uh...I did it once ''{Everyone laughs}'' and it kind of grossed me out. So, it became a recurring joke.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Puke my pants. Why not?

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Something I should not want to do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So this was based on a prank that Matt had when he was a kid. He always wanted to play was wash out an old speed stick, fill it with white chocolate, and then gross some kids out in the locker room after gym class.

'''RYAN:''' We talked briefly about adding a randomizer to the names of the deodorants—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, right.

'''RYAN:''' But we never got around to—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mike made a bunch of sweet, sweet deodorant names.

'''MIKE:''' It was fun coming up with—

'''STRONG BAD:''' other biomes.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Deodorant names.

'''RYAN:''' Like those band namer things. You know, you pick like four prefixes and four words like "mountain" and "glaciers."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's true. I don't have a Crazy Aunt Eulatherm, honestly.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Ahhh. Doesn't surprise me. I don't know if I believe very much of what you say.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look! That's a rare shot of Marzipan sitting down.

'''MIKE:''' That's true.

'''RYAN:''' Can we "zoom in" on that paper?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, it says the same thing over and over again, doesn't it, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. And it says the same thing from the Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Marzipan needs to get a new subscription. ''{Mike laughs}'' She's such a recycler that she just reads the same paper that she got so many years ago.

'''RYAN:''' Uhh—

'''STRONG BAD:''' That looks great. Mike, remember when you made your wife a post-it note dress?

'''MIKE:''' I did. She—

'''STRONG BAD:''' She didn't want to wear—

'''RYAN:''' She was very excited, wasn't she?

'''MIKE:''' It's still in my closet. ''{laughter}'' Not hers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It wasn't very flattering. It kinda look like a—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It looked just like a potato sack—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Uhh—

'''MIKE:''' made out of post-it notes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's true.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's the thought that—

'''MIKE:''' Right. Remember the thought?

'''RYAN:''' The girls don't remember the thought.

'''MIKE:''' They don't. They just want—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dudes. Dudes do.

'''MIKE:''' a good looking dress.

'''CRAIG:''' ''{overlapping}'' That was foleyed by, um, I almost ate the chips and I got reprimanded for eating the chips that were left over—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's right because I had to...and Mike and Matt had to—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' We had Mo—We had some Moe's Nacho Chips and saved them.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{theme park tour guide-styled monotone voice}'' Welcome to Moe's.

'''CRAIG:''' ''{deep voice, slow}'' Moe's.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's always the really ''{monotone voice again}'' depressed guy. At the end. ''{normal voice}'' Or they just go "Muhhhhh" ''{pause}'' What did that one say? That disk?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know what that one said.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody slow it back down. Play it again, Ryan—

'''MIKE:''' Call us up, let us know.

'''RYAN:''' ''{imitates rewind noise of a tape}'' There you go.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What did it say?

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Good game, boys.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good game, boys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK.

'''RYAN:''' I think it was an action game?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Totalslava. You guys?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing to himself}'' Poopaw.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So did this mean that I am— I have Euro—Eastern-European roots?

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' Yes.

''{After The Paper comes down, there is a pause}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not over.—

'''RYAN:''' We finish quick every time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's right, guys. Every time 'cause ''{begins to whisper; decrescendo}'' we don't remember cartoons after we're finished making them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And coming in at number 91, it's: E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
It must be really annoying living 
with someone as whiny as Strong Sad. 
Why don't you slip him some caffeine? 
 
Justin 
Murfreesboro, TN</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "TN" as "Tekken".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho! Devilish laugh. ''{types "Ohhhhhhh. (devilish laugh)"}''

''{Strong Bad clears the screen and types again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Justin, In addition to the cut of your jib, I likes the sound of your town. Murfreesboro. But we got the All-Wide Science Fair just around the corner and I've been straining for a project. So far alls I've come up with is the effects of gasoline. ''{pauses a bit}'' On fire. ''{stops typing}''

''{Cut to a blue-print-style background, with the handwritten title "How to make science work for me".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, I figure I just drop a couple of heaping spoonfuls—

''{Said spoon and jar of coffee powder appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of Sanka

''{"heaping spoonful" appears with an arrow pointing at the powder}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —into Strong Sad's orange juice,

''{Said juice appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and collect the ensuing data.

''{The spoon drops in the powder. It spoons some more powder, pauses while "yet another heaping spoonful" and another arrow appear, then stirs it in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll definitely get first place. And who knows? I might even win me a Noble Peacie Prize...

''{"slight discoloration" and another arrow appears next to the juice, and "slightly disgusting" appears with yet another arrow pointing at the jar of coffee.}''

''{Cut to view of Strong Bad and Strong Sad in the basement. Strong Bad is holding a legal pad, in which he makes periodic notes. One of Strong Sad's eyes is open unnaturally wide, and he holds his hands high above his head. His fingers twitch frequently, and some erratic and discordant music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So Strong Sad, tell me, how do you feel?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking very quickly and clapping his hands together over his head}'' I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! ''{facing his head to the left}'' I feel bad. ''{facing head back right}'' I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! ''{facing head left again}'' I can't remember my legs.

''{Cut to Strong Sad following an annoyed The Cheat on hands and knees. Strong Bad is in the background, watching and taking notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey The Cheat! Listen up! Widdlywiddlywill! What did I say? What did I just say? Did I say anything? What about this one: hoo hee haw whadiawah! Did that mean anything? ''{Strong Bad voice-over begins}'' Did I offend you? I hope I didn't offend you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' After being exposed to my control Cheat, subject started acting ''way'' creepier than normal...like, even for Strong Sad.

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is trying to paint with Strong Sad next to her. We see Strong Bad in the foreground making more observations and taking more notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mar-zi-pan, Mar-zi-pan! What do you wanna make? You wanna make some wood-davers with me? I got pine cones! I got peanut butter! I got everything we need! I said pine cones! Pine cones! Gonna be successful! Gonna be phenomenally successful! Sell 'em at the corner store! Sell 'em at the five and dime! Marzipan, you gotta get on the train, get on the wood-davers train! Here goes the wood-davers train! It's takin' off! It's a new century! ''{Marzipan walks away and Strong Bad voice-over begins}'' I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? I'll run you over in football, run you down the field like a clown!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' The subject's condition continued to deteriorate, and he began making up arts and crafts activities. Like wood-davers.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is sitting on the couch, and Strong Sad is hanging upside-down from the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No!

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no... Parakeet.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{backing up for space in disbelief, and very clearly}'' Did you just say "parakeet"?

''{Cut to a field with Strong Sad and Coach Z. Strong Sad alternates bouncing on his left and right legs. Strong Bad is in the background making notes and observations again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the final stages, subject became: ''{The following words come up on the screen in Tandy text as Strong Bad says them}'' Erratic, violent, and Really Funny to Watch.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{slapping Coach Z in the face}'' Hey Coach Z! Hey Coach Z! Whaddaya got? Whaddaya got for me? How about that? Wanna play some soccer? ''{while Coach Z is speaking}'' Some hockeyjock? I got whatever it takes! Hey, ya want some salad? Pasta salad? Tuna salad? Fruit salad?

'''COACH Z:''' Woo! Woo! Cut that out! Don't hurt me! I don't wanna die! I'm just an old man— ''{Strong Sad steals Coach Z's hat after it falls to the ground}'' Ooh! Ooh!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...Salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! ''{Slowing down}'' Salad... ''{powering-down sound}'' ...Salad as a rock? Um... Coach Z, what are we doin' here?

'''COACH Z:''' You was tryin' to jank me!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Feelin' woozy...

''{Strong Sad falls on his back. Coach Z's hat lands on his stomach. Cut to the All-Wide Science Fair auditorium stage, where a picture of Strong Sad on his back is shown on Strong Bad's easel under the caption "Results:".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At this point, the test subject...was dead. ''{Gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen}'' I was not dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Shut up. And all of this data could only bring us to one conclusion: ...Strong Sad's adopted. ''{another gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen}'' That's not true either!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down as a close up of Strong Bad's project is shown.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of the e-mail, click on the various pictures on the right side of Strong Bad's science project board to see some of his car sketches.
:*Top notecard: "Jalopy"
:*Middle [[Sticky Note]]: "[[Weekly Fanstuff 2005#WF-2005-04-21|Shark-mobile, can it work?]]"
:*Bottom Looseleaf: "The Fast"
*Also at the end, hold down the left mouse button over the paper in the folder on the left side to see Strong Bad's original project, The Effects of Gasoline on Fire. The left side reads:
<blockquote>about the 
author: 
strong bad 
has at least 
fifteen 
bucks in his 
wallet right 
now. bet 
that's more 
than you, 
poor person.</blockquote>

The right side, which is on fire, reads:

<blockquote>somebody 
should 
probably 
be keeping 
an eye on 
this. </blockquote>

*Finally at the end, move your mouse to the right side of the screen to find an arrow which you can click on to see Homestar Runner's project. It is blank except for the words "AWW MAN. IT MELTED." and a puddle on the table.
:*Click on the puddle and you'll see Homestar explain his project.
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' For my project, I opted to use more social studies...a-than science.
::'''CROWD:''' Yes, I see! Impressive! ''{miscellaneous chatter}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===

*"Cut of your jib" is an old sailors' phrase, used to describe the expression on one's face, or the appearance of a ship from afar (the shape of the foresail, or "cut of the jib", described a ship's character). [http://www.bibliomania.com/2/3/255/1168/19836/1/frameset.html]
*Strong Bad's "Noble Peacie Prize" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Nobel Foundation|Nobel Foundation's]] [[Wikipedia:Nobel Peace Prize|Peace Prize]].
**Incidentally, he would more qualify for the [[Wikipedia: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine|Nobel Physiology or Medicine Prize]]
*A [[wikipedia:Five and dime|five and dime]] was a type of store popular in the mid-1900s originally selling items such as candy and small toys. Most items sold at these stores were fifteen cents each.

===Trivia===

*With the exception of the Halloween toons, this is the first time [[Coach Z]] is seen without his hat on.
*Two versions of this were put up on the site. The first, which can be viewed on a mirror [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail91.html here] has Coach Z saying "I'm just a crazy old man!" while being slapped. However, [[HR:sbemail91.html|the version currently on the site]] has him saying "I'm just an old man!" The reason for this change is unknown.
*This is the first instance of [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]].
*The "All-Wide Science Fair" sign is printed on fan-fold paper, possibly from the same printer as [[The Paper]].
*In Strong Bad's Science Project display board, the sheet of paper in the pocket under the words "What's a [[Wood-daver]]?" reads:
<blockquote>Strong Bad's
Science Fair Project
(not "The Effects of
Gasoline on Fire" again)</blockquote>
*The summary on the Podstar Runner RSS feed for this video says "Strong Sad gets caffeinated."

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad says "coming in at [[Email Number References|number 91]]" at the beginning of the email. In the email [[flashback]], he says he lost count of his emails somewhere around #51.
*The sound of Strong Sad coming down from his caffeine 'high' is the same sound used in [[gimmicks]] when Strong Bad's Tandy 400 shut down and was about to explode.
*Strong Sad's bulging eye is an upside-down copy of [[Bubs|Bubs]]'s smaller eye.
*Strong Sad attempts to speak [[Lack_of_Intelligible_Speech#The_Cheat|The Cheat's language]].
*Strong Bad says "my control Cheat", a rare use of The Cheat's name without an [[integral article]].
*When looking at Homestar's project, you can find an invisible "back" button by pressing Tab.
*Strong Bad pronounces the emailer's town as "mur-FREES-bro", while the Tennessee city is actually pronounced "MUR-frees-bo-ro".
*The Easter eggs at the end of the email require holding down the left mouse button and not moving the mouse.
*Strong Sad is moving so erratically, he has two mouths to add to the illusion after Marzipan walks away.

===Goofs===
[[Image:2mss.PNG|thumb|Is this better or worse than 3 noses?]]
*When Strong Bad types 'in addition to', the D's overlap the A and each other.
*When Strong Sad passes out, Coach Z's hat is doubled for a single frame.

===Inside References===
*"Hockeyjock" is likely a reference to [[personal favorites]].
*Despite Strong Sad's protests, Strong Bad claims that [[Death#Strong Sad|Strong Sad is dead]] (and adopted).

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Sad]], Mike's Strong Sad, [[Mike Chapman]])

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm going to attempt to help you out on this one, Mike.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Ohh, thank you, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't like it when you do that, Mike.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I can do you pretty good, though.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, you can't, —

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' It's—

'''STRONG SAD:''' —you don't sound a thing like—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I dooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' You do not!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I do tooo!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohhh...sorry, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'm not—I'm not Canadian!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding mock-Canadian}'' Ohh, boot a booot!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{quietly}'' What?

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I'm gonna tell you a story aboot a boooot!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That is...not very a—accurate.

'''MIKE:''' Um...so, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in response to Strong Bad}'' Tom Waits is always singin' about Murfreesboro.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? That's in...Tennessee, right?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah. He's like, ''{somewhat nonsense, in a very gravelly voice}'' I said on grine goal, and so me saaay.

'''MIKE:''' Well you didn't—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{underneath}'' That's my—

'''MIKE:''' —say anything about Murfreesboro!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's my Tom Waits impression.

'''MIKE:''' But you said he was all the time singin' about Murfreesboro.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mike, the thing that I don't understand ''{Mike laughs, likely at Strong Sad's attempt to change the subject}'' is that Sanka...is... ''{he laughs the tiniest bit at Mike}'' a non-caffeinated, non-coffee pro-duct.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we knew that. I sin—certainly didn't know that.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{the email Strong Sad is talking to The Cheat}'' Well, I—look, it seems to have had quite an effect on me!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, it does!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I lost four...days!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You just don't remember?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No! I...sat down...

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''STRONG SAD:''' —...to sit in silence...for four days...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Uh-huh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...as I usually do every four days...and the next thing I know, I—the silence was over! I had missed the four days!

'''MIKE:''' What do you usually remember when you sit there for four days? Do you remember the whole thing?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ohh, sometimes there's quiet...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Uh-huh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Periods of...uh...sebaceousness.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, I'm not familiar with that word.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Other peri—periods of lethargy...apathy...''{email Strong Sad hangs from the ceiling}'' You think I used those boots? Moon Boots?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the kind— er, the, uh, Hang-'Em-Up—Hang-'Em-Upside-Downs? 

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' That, uh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Are those Moon Boots?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I dunno!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{chuckling slightly}'' Or are Moon Boots, like, breakdancing boots?

'''MIKE:''' ''{Strong Sad has began smacking Coach Z in the field}'' Look at that! We got two layers of bushes back there, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Things had really overgrown!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah! Strong Mad forgot to mow that week.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or Marzipan with her new hedge shears.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember Coach Z without his hat on there.

'''STRONG SAD:''' He looks...I don't like the way he looks. He looks like a mannequin. ''{Mike snickers, pause} {in response to Coach Z}'' I was not trying to jank him!

'''MIKE:''' What ''were'' you trying to do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I was w—trying to beat the crap out of him! ''{Mike laughs, Matt tries to hold back laughter}'' Look at those...the silhouettes of those people.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, who is that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Those are some...shapely folks.

'''MIKE:''' The guy on the left, is he wearin' a hat?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know! ''{the Paper comes down}'' Ooh! I said science again!

=== Fun Facts ===
*[[Wikipedia:Tom Waits|Tom Waits]] is an American singer-songwriter well-known for his incredibly gravelly voice, as Strong Sad demonstrates. Waits' voice has been described by one critic as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." His 1999 song "Pony" mentions Murfreesboro.
*[[Wikipedia:Sebaceous glands|Sebaceousness]] is the noun form of an adjective referring to sebum, an oily secretion which lubricates the skin and hair of mammals such as humans and, presumably, Homestar Runner characters. What it has to do with four days of silence is unclear, though it's possible that Matt, as Strong Sad, simply wanted to use a long and funny-sounding word.
*[[Wikipedia:Moon Boots|Moon Boots]] are a brand of Italian ski boots. It seems more likely that Strong Sad was referring to [[Wikipedia:Moon shoes|Moon shoes]], a kids' toy with springs in the soles which enabled wearers to jump much higher than normally possible.
*Strong Sad's mention of Marzipan's hedge shears seems to be referring to an item in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*Strong Sad quotes a Homestar line from [[stupid stuff]] ("I said science again!").
