<div>subject: stupidest</div>
Hey Strong Bad 
I was wondering what was the stupidest thing that Homestar ever did, said, or imagined??? 
ur biggest fan 
Spanky elgrondo N.Y.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Hey Strong Bad," in a bored tone and continues to read the rest of the email the same way. He draws out "ur" before biggest fan and reads "N.Y." as "Nuevo York."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, my good Spank, that is ''way'' too broad a subject and would take several days just to scratch the surface of the tip of that iceberg. Especially the imagined part. That one has its own spreadsheet even. No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground in one email. So it's time you people learned all about ''{cut to a scene with a U.S. Capitol-like building topped with a dome shaped like Homestar's head, and a banner featuring the the following title:}'' The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the top of the building}'' Ooo. I'm a ''neglected'' official.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first branch is in charge of keeping the public informed. ''{A dotted line is traced to a television set with Homestar's head on the screen. A caption appears under it that reads "The House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television".}'' It's the House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television!

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the set of [[The Show]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now isn't that a tasty makeover, lady friends? ''{A crowd full of ladies cheers. Cut twice to closeups of Homestar.}'' Huh? Huh?! From Drab to Fab with nothing but mustaaard! ''{Pictures of the King of Town appear on the left and right sides of the screen. The one on the left is labeled "Drab" and features a "normal" picture of the King of Town. The picture on the right is labeled "Fab" and features the King of Town doused with mustard. Homestar holds up a mustard container with the word 'Musty!' on it. Crowd cheers. The pictures disappear.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now my next guest says her man doesn't give respect when she comes correct. But he thinks she's just a drama mama. ''{Cut to a shot of Marzipan looking very angry, with the words "Alleged Drama Mama" at the bottom of the screen.}'' So let's bring him out!

''{The crowd boos. Homestar turns towards a curtain, then a spotlight appears on Homestar and his clothes and appearance change instantly; his propeller cap is back-to-front, while stubble, a goatee and undereye bags have appeared on his face, and his shirt features a green hand and the words "DENIED! Panama City Beach".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sulkily}'' Yeah, whatever, you know you all want some.

''{Someone throws a chair at Homestar and knocks him down. The crowd cheers gleefully.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right. Homestar secretly had ''himself'' on his own "You're a Bad Boyfriend" talk show.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A dotted line is traced to a coffee mug with Homestar's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next branch tracks the stupid things Homestar does on the job. Here comes The Bureau of Doing Stupid Things at the Office.

''{Cut to the Office with Strong Bad in his cubicle with a headset on, occasionally typing on his computer. Phones are ringing in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking into headset; looking bored}'' No ma'am, this would be a password you gave to us. Yes sir, it could be the last four digits of your dog, or your mother's maiden credit card number...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bro, keg party at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns his head offscreen towards Homestar}'' Not Now! I'm talking to Phone Tree Survivor Number Thirteen! ''{talking into headset}'' Yes, baby, the whole password.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stro Bro, free bagels at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks excited}'' I'm sorry, ma'am, free bagels just happened.

''{Strong Bad leaps up from his desk, making the Geddup Noise, and slides out of his cubicle towards a water cooler with Homestar stuffed inside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man! This isn't free bagels!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, but it is free-ing Homestar from the water cooler. That's pretty sweet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{momentarily stutters}'' Just explain to me what you were ''trying'' to do when this happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I was in Barbados, hanging a picture on the wall...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, that tells me everything I need to know. How 'bout we try this?

''{Strong Bad walks over to the water cooler and presses down the button for the nozzle that has Homestar's leg sticking out of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow, ow, OW, STOP! Sweet genius, that hurt! Oh, well, just forget it. I'll just stay in here for the rest of my life. Just stack my mail on top of me, would ya? ''{Strong Bad walks off as a phone rings.}'' Thanks, S-bro! Man! Where should we go for lunch today? Chinese buffet?

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A scoreboard appears, which rolls up to its high number limit of 999,999 and then resets to zero.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know how in video games, if you get the super-duper high score, it eventually flips back to zero? Well, sometimes Homestar does something so stupid, he flips back to smart.

''{The scoreboard disappears as a dotted line is traced to a picture of Homestar with a graduation cap on. A caption appears under him that says "The joint Sub-Committee On So Stupid It's Smart-ities".}''

''{Cut to Homestar in the Field atop a soap box with Strong Sad in the foreground. The words "Fourteen Times" are written on the soapbox.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Awash with flavor!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, okay Homestar. Then what's two plus two?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, the force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges. ''{As he says these words, computer-type noises are heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no, no, stupid! That's Coulomb's law.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, sorry! Two plus two? That's easy. Twenty-two.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And last of course, the most powerful branch. The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume.

''{A dotted line is traced to a football helmet with Homestar's face on it. A caption appears under it that reads "The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume".}''

''{Cut to the Field at night with Homestar inside The Jolly Dumple costume. A campfire is also inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, oh man, oh man! ''Man!'' Moving into this mascot costume was probably the coolest and least locking-myself-out-of-my-house-enest decision I ever made! ''{Homestar raises a stick with a juice box stuck on the end over the fire.}'' This juice box is gonna roast up good and plenty! Dark and lovely! Bed, Bath and Be-yond!

''{Cut to a wider shot revealing Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Homestar, what are you doin'?! That thing is made out of flame pro-tardant Polymascotfoamalate!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Polymascotfoamalate?! ''{his words echo}''

''{Fade to The Homestar Runner in the Old-Timey Field standing next to an alien. A spaceship has crashed into the factory in the background.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY ALIEN:''' But, Earthling, they don't have polymascotfoamalate on ''my'' planet. Eh-rumble.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's 'cause you're a communist fool, red! ''{Pronounces "communist" as "commonest"}''

''{The alien looks shocked. Cut to a stage with The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Strong Bad dancing with a banner over their heads reading "Polymascotfoamalate!"}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoamalate!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner dressed up as a baby.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Feed it to the babies.

''{Cut back to the stage, the alien joins them.}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoamalate!

''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad with shaving cream on his face holding what appears to be baby powder in one hand and a cup full of shaving cream in the other.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Or as a topping on Soured Cream!

''{Cut to a globe with the words "POLYMASCOTFOAMALATE" written in front of it with its chemical formula, (Msct-) + (Fm8+).}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Polymascotfoamalate! Helping America ''{appears above the globe as it is spoken}'' Ingenuitize the Future across the globe!

''{A record scratch is heard. We abruptly cut back to the Field at night with Homestar inside the mascot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh. Right. So I should be perfectly safe! ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoa- ''{an explosion occurs, throwing Coach Z out of frame; after a beat, Homestar's mascot costume disintegrates with the sound of breaking glass.}''

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done". Strong Bad stands up in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it! Now it's up to you to make your own informed decisions about the stupidest things Homestar's done. Get involved, ''{a banner appears above Strong Bad}'' write a letter to your local Homestarman, ''{another banner appears}'' or throw a trash can through a plate glass window! ''{Yet another banner appears.}''

''{Strong Bad walks off screen and the camera pulls in on the top of the U.S. Capitol building shaped like Homestar's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And that's how I become a law! ''{Fireworks appear in the air.}'' Pa-too! Pa-too! Pa-too!

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

*Click on the cartoon in Strong Bad's cubicle to see a [[Dullard (comic)|Dullard]] comic.
*At the end of the email, click on Homestar's head to see more fireworks.
*At the end, click on "Stupid" to see a [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] cartoon:

*:'''OLD-TIMEY ALIEN:''' ''{gestures and stamps feet while speaking}'' Oh, but Limozeen-in-space-lings. They don't have hot blonde groupies with high bangs on ''my'' planet... ''{trailing off}'' eh, grumble...

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Homestar correctly states [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]], which determines the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two particles based on their charges <math>q_1</math> and <math>q_2</math> and the distance between them <math>r</math>:
*:<math>F=\frac1{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{|q_1q_2|}{r^2}</math>
*[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/red "Red"] is a nickname for a [[Wikipedia:Communism|Communist]].
*"Polymascotfoamalate" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of quite a few words. "[[Wiktionary:poly-|Poly-]]" is a [[Wikipedia:prefix|prefix]] meaning "many", probably intended to reference the large number of manmade materials whose names also start with the prefix ([[Wikipedia:polyester|polyester]], [[Wikipedia:polyurethane|polyurethane]], [[Wikipedia:polyisocyanurate|polyisocyanurate]]), "[[Wikipedia:Mascot|mascot]]" being its own word, and "[[Wikipedia:foam|foam]]" which is a word by itself, but in context, may refer either to [[Wikipedia:foam rubber|foam rubber]], which is often used in wearable mascot costumes, or to [[Wikipedia:fire retardant foam|fire retardant foam]], which is unlikely given the Dumple's explosive qualities.
*In old arcade games, if you get a score higher than 999,999, it rolls over to 0. This happens in such games as [[Wikipedia:Namco|Namco]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Galaga|Galaga]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]]''.
*"The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done" are a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Separation of powers|three branches of the United States government]], and the shape of the governmental building is the [[Wikipedia:United States Capitol|United States Capitol]] building, often used as a symbol of the [[Wikipedia:Legislature|legislative branch]].
*Calling the alien a "communist fool" makes fun of most alien movies in the 1950s, including ''[[Wikipedia:The War of the Worlds (1953 film)|War of the Worlds]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Invasion of the Body Snatchers|Invasion of the Body Snatchers]]'', where the aliens usually represented the Soviet Union.
*[[The Show#The Show AM|The Show AM]] is a parody of several talk shows that feature [[wikipedia:Makeover|makeovers]] such as ''[[wikipedia:The Oprah Winfrey Show|Oprah]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Queer Eye for the Straight Guy|Queer Eye for the Straight Guy]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Extreme Makeover|Extreme Makeover]]'', and [[Wikipedia:Tabloid talk show|tabloid talk shows]] such as ''[[Wikipedia:The Jerry Springer Show|The Jerry Springer Show]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Maury (TV series)|Maury]]''.

===Remarks===
*''Nuevo York'' is an incorrect way of saying New York in Spanish. ''Nuev'''a''' York'' is the correct Spanish form.
*Strong Bad's polo shirt has a 5.25 inch floppy disk crest. Homestar, however, is not wearing the usual polo shirt attire to work.
*Homestar does not have any trouble breathing or speaking underwater.
*At the end of the firework Easter egg, you can hear a pop sound, showing the Brothers Chaps cut out the sound from earlier in the email.
*When The King of Town's "Drab to Fab" makeover is shown, the colors of his crown are reversed, as they were in [[The King of Town Evolution|earlier designs]].
*Homestar's legs during the The Show AM are for some reason the old design. Notice the left foot being at an awkward angle.
*Strong Bad mixes up technological phrases and assigns various gender titles, similar to what Homestar did in [[isp]].
*Homestar's eyes appear considerably bigger than normal while inside the water cooler; this may be due to the cooler's curved surface magnifying them. They also do not blink every four seconds, which suggests new eyes were made especially for this scene.
*During the scene of the globe in the Polymascotfoamalate cartoon, the white land masses at the top and bottom do not spin with the rest of the globe.
*The chemical formula for Polymascotfoamalate is a flay on it's name. Msct- being mascot and Fm8+ being foamalate.

===Goofs===
*The floppy disk on Strong Bad's shirt jumps between Strong Bad's left and right side so that it's always facing the audience.
*When the firework easter egg at the end of the email is played, at the end there is a short clip of sound from the other easter egg at the end of the email played.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first posted, Strong Bad typed "in" instead of "any" when he says "No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground," at the beginning of the email. This was later corrected.
*When the email was first posted, ''[[Wikipedia:boudoir|boudoir]]'' was misspelled as "Budoir". This was later corrected.
*The first time the "Polymascotfoamalate" banner appears, it is mispelled "Polymascotfamalate"

===Inside References===
*The [[Soapbox]] makes another appearance when Homestar stands on it while he answers Strong Sad, and its label now reads "Fourteen times".
*{{Film|Limozeen}}'s animated debut was in [[best thing]].
*"MONGOLIAN BEEF WiG" is an example of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]].
*[[The Jolly Dumple]] first appeared in [[mascot]].
*Homestar's fireworks sounds at the end of the email are the same sounds he makes in [[couch patch]] when he is spitting teddy grahams.

===Real-World References===
*This cartoon was released six days after the [[Wikipedia:United States general elections, 2006|2006 United States general elections]] on November 7th, and the references to "America" and the United States government were probably inspired by that event.
*[[Wikipedia:Bed Bath & Beyond|Bed Bath & Beyond]] is a chain of domestic-goods stores located throughout the United States.
*[[Wikipedia:Good & Plenty|Good & Plenty]] is a famous licorice candy.
*Dark & Lovely is a brand of hair relaxer and other hair care products.
*Homestar saying "That's how I become a law!" is a reference to the School House Rock cartoon "[[Wikipedia:I'm Just a Bill|I'm Just a Bill]]", showing how a bill becomes a law in Washington.
*Strong Bad's recommendation to "throw a trash can through a plate glass window" is likely a reference to the climactic scene in Spike Lee's film ''[[Wikipedia:Do the Right Thing|Do the Right Thing]]''.
*The mustard bottle has the distinctive red cap and yellow barrel shape of [[Wikipedia:Plochman's|Plochman's]] mustard.
*The sing-song voice in which Homestar proclaims that mustard was used for The King of Town's makeover is very similar to the voice [[Wikipedia:Oprah Winfrey|Oprah Winfrey]] uses when making grand announcements on her television show.
*The sun logo for The Show AM is very similar to that of [http://www.techiediva.com/photos/uncategorized/todayshow.gif The Today Show] on [[Wikipedia:NBC|NBC]]. The "am" typeface is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:TV-am|TV-am]].
*Homestar's "[[:Image:Homestarbadboyfriend.PNG|Denied]]" shirt during The Show AM segment pokes fun at [[Wikipedia:spring break|spring break]] events in [[Wikipedia:Panama City Beach, Florida|Panama City Beach, Florida]].
*The Old-Timey Alien's voice and crashed spacecraft suggest a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|The Great Gazoo]] of [[Wikipedia:The Flintstones|The Flintstones]].

===Explanations===

*"Polymascotfoamalate" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of quite a few words. "[[Wiktionary:poly-|Poly-]]" is a [[Wikipedia:prefix|prefix]] meaning "many", probably intended to reference the large number of manmade materials whose names also start with the prefix ([[Wikipedia:polyester|polyester]], [[Wikipedia:polyurethane|polyurethane]], [[Wikipedia:polyisocyanurate|polyisocyanurate]]), "[[Wikipedia:Mascot|mascot]]" being its own word, and "[[Wikipedia:foam|foam]]" which is a word by itself, but in context, may refer either to [[Wikipedia:foam rubber|foam rubber]], which is often used in wearable mascot costumes, or to [[Wikipedia:fire retardant foam|fire retardant foam]], which is unlikely given the Dumple's explosive qualities.
*In old arcade games, if you get a score higher than 999,999, it rolls over to 0. This happens in such games as [[Wikipedia:Namco|Namco]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Galaga|Galaga]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]]''.

*Calling the alien a "communist fool" makes fun of most alien movies in the 1950s, including ''[[Wikipedia:The War of the Worlds (1953 film)|War of the Worlds]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Invasion of the Body Snatchers|Invasion of the Body Snatchers]]'', where the aliens usually represented the Soviet Union.

===Remarks===
*''Nuevo York'' is an incorrect way of saying New York in Spanish. ''Nuev'''a''' York'' is the correct Spanish form.
*Strong Bad's polo shirt has a 5.25 inch floppy disk crest. Homestar, however, is not wearing the usual polo shirt attire to work.
*Homestar does not have any trouble breathing or speaking underwater.
*At the end of the firework Easter egg, you can hear a pop sound, showing the Brothers Chaps cut out the sound from earlier in the email.
*When The King of Town's "Drab to Fab" makeover is shown, the colors of his crown are reversed, as they were in [[The King of Town Evolution|earlier designs]].
*Homestar's legs during the The Show AM are for some reason the old design. Notice the left foot being at an awkward angle.
*Strong Bad mixes up technological phrases and assigns various gender titles, similar to what Homestar did in [[isp]].
*Homestar's eyes appear considerably bigger than normal while inside the water cooler; this may be due to the cooler's curved surface magnifying them. They also do not blink every four seconds, which suggests new eyes were made especially for this scene.
*During the scene of the globe in the Polymascotfoamalate cartoon, the white land masses at the top and bottom do not spin with the rest of the globe.

===Goofs===
*The floppy disk on Strong Bad's shirt jumps between Strong Bad's left and right side so that it's always facing the audience.
*When the firework easter egg at the end of the email is played, at the end there is a short clip of sound from the other easter egg at the end of the email played.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first posted, Strong Bad typed "in" instead of "any" when he says "No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground," at the beginning of the email. This was later corrected.
*When the email was first posted, ''[[Wikipedia:boudoir|boudoir]]'' was misspelled as "Budoir". This was later corrected.
*The first time the "Polymascotfoamalate" banner appears, it is mispelled "Polymascotfamalate"

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Start your day, the sbemail way! And never get out of bed!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: stupidest</div>
Hey Strong Bad 
I was wondering what was the stupidest thing that Homestar ever did, said, or imagined??? 
ur biggest fan 
Spanky elgrondo N.Y.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Hey Strong Bad," in a bored tone and continues to read the rest of the email the same way. He draws out "ur" before biggest fan and reads "N.Y." as "Nuevo York."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, my good Spank, that is ''way'' too broad a subject and would take several days just to scratch the surface of the tip of that iceberg. Especially the imagined part. That one has its own spreadsheet even. No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground in one email. So it's time you people learned all about ''{cut to a scene with a U.S. Capitol-like building topped with a dome shaped like Homestar's head, and a banner featuring the the following title:}'' The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the top of the building}'' Ooo. I'm a ''neglected'' official.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first branch is in charge of keeping the public informed. ''{A dotted line is traced to a television set with Homestar's head on the screen. A caption appears under it that reads "The House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television".}'' It's the House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television!

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the set of [[The Show]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now isn't that a tasty makeover, lady friends? ''{A crowd full of ladies cheers. Cut twice to closeups of Homestar.}'' Huh? Huh?! From Drab to Fab with nothing but mustaaard! ''{Pictures of the King of Town appear on the left and right sides of the screen. The one on the left is labeled "Drab" and features a "normal" picture of the King of Town. The picture on the right is labeled "Fab" and features the King of Town doused with mustard. Homestar holds up a mustard container with the word 'Musty!' on it. Crowd cheers. The pictures disappear.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now my next guest says her man doesn't give respect when she comes correct. But he thinks she's just a drama mama. ''{Cut to a shot of Marzipan looking very angry, with the words "Alleged Drama Mama" at the bottom of the screen.}'' So let's bring him out!

''{The crowd boos. Homestar turns towards a curtain, then a spotlight appears on Homestar and his clothes and appearance change instantly; his propeller cap is back-to-front, while stubble, a goatee and undereye bags have appeared on his face, and his shirt features a green hand and the words "DENIED! Panama City Beach".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sulkily}'' Yeah, whatever, you know you all want some.

''{Someone throws a chair at Homestar and knocks him down. The crowd cheers gleefully.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right. Homestar secretly had ''himself'' on his own "You're a Bad Boyfriend" talk show.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A dotted line is traced to a coffee mug with Homestar's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next branch tracks the stupid things Homestar does on the job. Here comes The Bureau of Doing Stupid Things at the Office.

''{Cut to the Office with Strong Bad in his cubicle with a headset on, occasionally typing on his computer. Phones are ringing in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking into headset; looking bored}'' No ma'am, this would be a password you gave to us. Yes sir, it could be the last four digits of your dog, or your mother's maiden credit card number...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bro, keg party at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns his head offscreen towards Homestar}'' Not Now! I'm talking to Phone Tree Survivor Number Thirteen! ''{talking into headset}'' Yes, baby, the whole password.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stro Bro, free bagels at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks excited}'' I'm sorry, ma'am, free bagels just happened.

''{Strong Bad leaps up from his desk, making the Geddup Noise, and slides out of his cubicle towards a water cooler with Homestar stuffed inside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man! This isn't free bagels!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, but it is free-ing Homestar from the water cooler. That's pretty sweet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{momentarily stutters}'' Just explain to me what you were ''trying'' to do when this happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I was in Barbados, hanging a picture on the wall...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, that tells me everything I need to know. How 'bout we try this?

''{Strong Bad walks over to the water cooler and presses down the button for the nozzle that has Homestar's leg sticking out of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow, ow, OW, STOP! Sweet genius, that hurt! Oh, well, just forget it. I'll just stay in here for the rest of my life. Just stack my mail on top of me, would ya? ''{Strong Bad walks off as a phone rings.}'' Thanks, S-bro! Man! Where should we go for lunch today? Chinese buffet?

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A scoreboard appears, which rolls up to its high number limit of 999,999 and then resets to zero.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know how in video games, if you get the super-duper high score, it eventually flips back to zero? Well, sometimes Homestar does something so stupid, he flips back to smart.

''{The scoreboard disappears as a dotted line is traced to a picture of Homestar with a graduation cap on. A caption appears under him that says "The joint Sub-Committee On So Stupid It's Smart-ities".}''

''{Cut to Homestar in the Field atop a soap box with Strong Sad in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Awash with flavor!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, okay Homestar. Then what's two plus two?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, the force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges. ''{As he says these words, computer-type noises are heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no, no, stupid! That's Coulomb's law.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, sorry! Two plus two? That's easy. Twenty-two.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And last of course, the most powerful branch. The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume.

''{A dotted line is traced to a football helmet with Homestar's face on it. A caption appears under it that reads "The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume".}''

''{Cut to the Field at night with Homestar inside The Jolly Dumple costume. A campfire is also inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, oh man, oh man! ''Man!'' Moving into this mascot costume was probably the coolest and least locking-myself-out-of-my-house-enest decision I ever made! ''{Homestar raises a stick with a juice box stuck on the end over the fire.}'' This juice box is gonna roast up good and plenty! Dark and lovely! Bed, Bath and Be-yond!

''{Cut to a wider shot revealing Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Homestar, what are you doin'?! That thing is made out of flame pro-tardant Polymascotfoamalate!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Polymascotfoamalate?! ''{his words echo}''

''{Fade to The Homestar Runner in the Old-Timey Field standing next to an alien. A spaceship has crashed into the factory in the background.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY ALIEN:''' But, Earthling, they don't have polymascotfoamalate on ''my'' planet. Eh-rumble.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's 'cause you're a communist fool, red! ''{Pronounces "communist" as "commonest"}''

''{The alien looks shocked. Cut to a stage with The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Strong Bad dancing with a banner over their heads reading "Polymascotfoamalate!"}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoamalate!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner dressed up as a baby.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Feed it to the babies.

''{Cut back to the stage, the alien joins them.}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoamalate!

''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad with shaving cream on his face holding what appears to be baby powder in one hand and a cup full of shaving cream in the other.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Or as a topping on Soured Cream!

''{Cut to a globe with the words "POLYMASCOTFOAMALATE" written in front of it with the formula containing the elements that comprise it below.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Polymascotfoamalate! Helping America ''{appears above the globe as it is spoken}'' Ingenuitize the Future across the globe!

''{A record scratch is heard. We abruptly cut back to the Field at night with Homestar inside the mascot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh. Right. So I should be perfectly safe! ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoa- ''{an explosion occurs, throwing Coach Z out of frame; after a beat, Homestar's mascot costume disintegrates with the sound of breaking glass.}''

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done". Strong Bad stands up in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it! Now it's up to you to make your own informed decisions about the stupidest things Homestar's done. Get involved, ''{a banner appears above Strong Bad}'' write a letter to your local Homestarman, ''{another banner appears}'' or throw a trash can through a plate glass window! ''{Yet another banner appears.}''

''{Strong Bad walks off screen and the camera pulls in on the top of the U.S. Capitol building shaped like Homestar's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And that's how I become a law! ''{Fireworks appear in the air.}'' Pa-too! Pa-too! Pa-too!

*Strong Bad's recommendation to "throw a trash can through a plate glass window" is likely a reference to the climactic scene in Spike Lee's film ''[[Wikipedia:Do the Right Thing|Do the Right Thing]]''.
*The mustard bottle has the distinctive red cap and yellow barrel shape of [[Wikipedia:Plochman's|Plochman's]] mustard.

Olleicua: /* Template:label and Updates page */

Hey Olleicua. Welcome to the wiki!

Those redirects point to the disambiguation page on purpose. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

== Template:label and Updates page ==

Hello there. I cn see where you want to go with that thing, but could you please talk about it before going through all the pages and changing them? Maybe get a bit of consesus? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:this was created in responce to a conversation [[Talk:H%2AR.com_updates_2006#Idea|here]]. It was talked about a while ago and I decided to try implementing it. It would be used on other pages only on a case by case basis if it was decided to be useful there. Thank you for the concern.
[[User:Olleicua|Olleicua]] 16:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::Because that idea is relativly old, it would have been better if you brought it up again. Phlip have already did so, be advised for next time. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Sorry, I am used to Wikipedia where the BE BOLD policy is popular. I forgot that this policy is not universal to wikis. I would, however like to see this properly implemented as I think it would be a great improvement to the wiki
::::"Be bold" is popular here too, but it's more "[[HRWiki:Standards#Be bold, but know when not to be|be bold, but know when not to be.]]" If something would mean a large change, or a large number of changes, it's better to bring it up on a talk page first. The main reason for "be bold" is that if you make a mistake it's easy to revert... thus your boldness should be inversely proportional to the difficulty of reverting, which increases with large changes. Plus there's the whole [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BOLD, revert, discuss cycle]] thing, which is basically what's happening here. So: no harm, no foul. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::Kewl. Insidentally, I really like what did end up happening to [[template:whatsnew]]. It was more that I tried introducing the idea a while ago and nothing happened with it. Rather than have that happen, I tried to bring to people's attension. I deffinately could have done it in a more reversable way. Thanks [[User:Olleicua|Olleicua]] 03:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[[User:Olleicua|Olleicua]] 16:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, since this is being brought up again - I think this could be useful, but I think it would be better to put it solely on {{tl|whatsnew}} – in the list here it would look out of place, but on the front page it might look better... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:38, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I hadnt thought of that, you're right. The only catch that comes to mind is a key for the front page. It might look crowded. Ideas?
[[User:Olleicua|Olleicua]] 16:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

== Personal Information ==

Is it appropriate to list personal information on these specific pages - the Chapman/Palmer wedding, Don's passing? These are noted on the individual bio pages, and they are not site updates. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:15, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

:We list interviews and public appearances, even though these aren't site updates. We should also list important events in the lives of the Chaps. Certainly the content of the site itself is colored by these events (indeed, only time will tell how Mr. Chapman's passing will affect things), and it's relevant to note where such events occur in the context of the toons. I don't think we should note yearly things (like birthdays, anniversaries, etc., unless they are important somehow), but one-time milestones deserve a place. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

==Suggestion==

Perhaps when you update the quote you could make it a link to the source of that quote. Because whenever I see the quote I can never remember where it's from, and even with this site it takes a while to find out.

:If you click on [[Quote Of The Week]] on this page or the home page, it takes you to a page which provides exactly that information. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:43, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, I know, but that's two clicks. If the quote itself actually linked to its source, that would be one click: that's half as many clicks! Hence, productivity would be doubled.

:::This is true - though "productivity" as an importance for a "stupid animal cartoon" seems a bit much. :) Seriously, we must weigh the consequence of an extra click over the consequence of clutter on the main page. As there's a lot of info and links on the main page, in my opinion it'd be convenient to some, but a cluttersome nuisance to others, to include an additional link in that line, and as the info is close at hand (one click from the Main Page) it's better put on its own page. Ref. the 09 Feb 2006 quote for an example of where it would be cumbersome to include this on the main page; and there are a few which we're not entirely positive of the source. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
::::Some are exclusives, too, so they have no source. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::Besides, if you're talking about making the words of the quote into a link to the source, you'd still have to click the link to arrive at the toon and thus realize it's source. Clicking on "Quote of the Week" would also just be one click, and the result would be the same. Being told the source of the Quote of the Week. In conclusion, productivity probably wouldn't be affected much, and I think it'd be more confusing. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

== Lack of updates question and answer ==
I had posted a question here, and it was deleted without an answer... I dont think its an unreasonable question, and this seems like the best place to ask it. I'm not trying to complain, or demand anything, I'm just curious if there's any thing going on in the world of H*R that explains why there hasnt been any new content in over a month. I'm really not trying to complain, I just want to know if there's some reason I'm unaware of. Summer vacation, speaking engagments, voodoo curse, doesnt matter. I'm just curious. -- Sean St.
:The bottom line is, we don't know what is going on. There is a thread on the forums in which people are ''calmly'' discussing all the possibilities. [[Forum:8813|Here's the link]].

:Your sig is linked to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/User:Tampo/sig|from so many places]], that changing it to what you did will cause every page displaying it as that box. That box also break several [[HRWiki:Signature|signeture rules]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
::{{sigbox|User:Tampo/sig}}
::My signature is small enough to fit inside the box. Also the message that says "There is currently no text on this page You can..." doesn't show up when I use my sig. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 20:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
:::When I saw your edit all I saw was a bulk of code and the box beneath it. I didn't have time to spend checking every line of it to see if and where you put <nowiki><includeonly></nowiki> and similar tags inside of it. I oppose all that trickery and If I claimed to have reverted your signature because of it breaking the rules, then I now claim that I did so because of those include tags. I don't know what reasons you have for not allowing people to see your sig when they access it's page but the act of hiding it is discourged. Next time use plain, visible code. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

The first one is near where I live, but I noticed the second one. Have you ever been there? --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]

::Why?--[[User:The cheatman|The cheatman]] 15:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Why not to say that all sysops are stupid? Well, I'm a sysop. Some of my best friends here are sysops and all good users so that counts as a personal attack. So stop it or you ''will'' get blocked. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

How did you do that?--[[User:The cheatman|The cheatman]] 20:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
:As a '''sysop''', I can block users and IP numbers who disrupt order on the wiki. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
::I don't care. your just picking on me for not being as old as you.
:::Up until now that you brought age into the game, I didn't know you are 11. Still, age doesn't metter on the wiki.

::::whatever happened to freedom of spech.
:::::It stayed the same, with it's limits. Cursing is not protected under it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::By the way, freedom of speech does not give you the right to say whatever you want whenever you want. The old "shouting 'fire' in a movie theater" bit comes to mind. Here, as in many places in your world, there is the expectation of respectful behavior. If you were at school or working in a job and were disrespectful to people, you would eventually find yourself punished. There's no violation of the guarantee of freedom of speech there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
:i reply to you.
::::::Well put, Qermaq. It is with stating things like this that I have the most problems with. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don't belive you can. If you want to tell someone to delete it, then put <nowiki>{{tobedeleted}}</nowiki> on the top of the page. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 16:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
::That's right. Only sysops (like E.L. Cool here) can delete anything on the wiki. You could also put <nowiki>{{delete|</nowiki>''Reason''}} at the top of the page.

:::::::With all due respect, Brian Barbera, this is not the place in which to choose dates, whether or not they're the same gender as you. We're going to have to ask you to not do that here, as this is a "family wiki". Additionally, I'm not really sure where 2Fast2Furious comes into this at all, either. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Hey Lappy, 2Fast2Furious is Cedric! They are the same person. That's my buddy from school. You're not sure where he comes into this? He was responding to my comment. That's all! —[[User:Brian Barbera|Brian Barbera]] 19:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

== Personal Image Removal ==

I didn't know I could only use 2 non-Homestar pictures. (Maybe next time I'll read the fine print.) I've decided to mark FFSS_1.jpg and FFPR_1.jpg for deletion, but I don't know how. Could you give me a hand?
Tryin' not to break the rules,
[[User:SamFisher1022|SamFisher1022]]
:For a personal image, the easiest way to mark it for deletion is by adding the text: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>delete|Personal image no longer wanted}}</code> (or whatever your reason is) to the page, and saving it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Alright. All the unused images, currently not on your page will be deleted. Thank you, and if you have any other questions regarding the wiki I will gladly help. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

== Bugs are animals ==

In what way are [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Fat_Bee&curid=26898&diff=360048&oldid=360047 bugs not animals]? Bugs are indeed animals, and most of them do have gender. Though it happens to be the case that we don't know the Fat Bee's gender, that doesn't mean it doesn't have one. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

this was created in responce to a conversation [[Talk:H%2AR.com_updates_2006#Idea|here]]. It was talked about a while ago and I decided to try implementing it. It would be used on other pages only on a case by case basis if it was decided to be useful there. Thank you for the concern.

Hey, when is <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> needed in a Category? I've seen it used for, say, templates, but I guess it's not needed for more run-of-the-mill categories. What does it do, and when do we need it? Thanks... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

:While categorizing pages, they are sorted by their first letter, but when doing so to templates, they are all categorized in the letter T (for '''T'''emplate). Using <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> force the system into using the true name of the page. It is never used on mainspace articles, as their full name is the true one, but rather in other namespaces like Help, Category, Template, HRWiki, User, MediaWiki and other variants. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

== Sig ==
Why did you revert the edits I made to my sig? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 17:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
:Your sig is linked to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/User:Tampo/sig|from so many places]], that changing it to what you did will cause every page displaying it as that box. That box also break several [[HRWiki:Signature|signeture rules]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
::{{sigbox|User:Tampo/sig}}
::My signature is small enough to fit inside the box. Also the message that says "There is currently no text on this page You can..." doesn't show up when I use my sig. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 20:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
:::When I saw your edit all I saw was a bulk of code and the box beneath it. I didn't have time to spend checking every line of it to see if and where you put <nowiki><includeonly></nowiki> and similar tags inside of it. I oppose all that trickery and If I claimed to have reverted your signature because of it breaking the rules, then I now claim that I did so because of those include tags. I don't know what reasons you have for not allowing people to see your sig when they access it's page but the act of hiding it is discourged. Next time use plain, visible code. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Olleicua: The Blue Ones

== Lollipop? ==
I believe they're more properly called ice cream bars. This might be an American name though, but for context it may be more approperate. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 17:53, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

: That's what I was thinking too.. --[[User:Mick|Mick]] 18:00, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
: They're being referenced as both lollipops and popsicles, and it's neither. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 18:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

I've always known them as "Fudgesicles", although that is a registered trademark of Good Humor. Note that, whatever you call them, they are not lolliops. A lollipop is made of hard candy, not frozen chocolate pudding. However, a quick google search reveals that there really is such a thing as chocolate lollipops, though these are also significantly different from other lollipops. Tootsie also makes a chocolate flavored tootsie roll pop(which already has a chocolate center).

The "pops" in question are almost definitely fudgesicles, as they are revealed to be brown to the core, not vanilla with a chocolate coating, as ice cream bars are. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 18:08, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

: I saw part of this discussion before changing them to "ice cream bars" - it's certainly a lot more correct than "lollipop" or "popsicle." --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 18:27, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

We just call them chocolate fudge bars in school, because now that I think about it a ice cream bar is more like ice cream on a stick with chocolate coating. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 22:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC) 

: I still say they're Fudgesicles, or Chocolate Pudding Pops if you like.

They CAN'T be chocolate lolipos. Those arn't "scientificly possible"

You've got a point!

I ''have'' had a chocolate-flavored lollipop before. Didn't taste very good, though. -[[User:67.22.197.57|67.22.197.57]]

I think it's most accurate to call them Pudding Pops, because that is what Strong Bad called them in Weird Dream. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 00:42, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Various notes==
You know the table where Homestar is seen on the T.V.? Well, I'm guessing that's Cheat Commandos...O's table in the toon. When the King of Town is talking about an unnamed person, he;s talking about the Poopsmith. Bubs burning "Exhibit A" is a reference to Strong Bad E-mail lackey, as it showed that Bubs might have done some illegal things.--[[User:THE TOAD|THE TOAD]]
:I'm not sure about the first. It might be a valid point, I dunno. Of course the King is referring to the Poopsmith, but I don't think that needs to be mentioned on the page. And the "Exhibit A" burning and the Dorauxgard confrontation in lackey don't reference each other - they're just similar jokes about the same concept. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 23:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Sad? ==

Anyone else think Strong Sad acts out of character in this toon? I mean he normally doesn't act like someone who'd care too much about underwear.

*I don't understand how you can not care if someone individually priced and auctioned off your underwear. As far as being attached to a specific pair of underdrawers, Strong Sad seems to have uncommonly strong feelings about inanimate objects. For instance they way he likes "board games more than most people" in his [[Strong_Sad#Character_Video_Transcript|character video]].

:Either way it's weird seeing Dumpy not-naked. He and The Cheat have it going on for nudity. ^_^

== Inside references ==

It seems unlikely to me that the "Bug Swallow! BUG SWALLOW!" bit is a reference to "Rose face! ROSE FACE!" as "Rose Face!" is very likely a reference to "Rosebud!" from ''Citizen Kane.'' The connection seems tenuous at best - there are probably a good number of similar exclamations on HSR. I would vote that it be removed.
* I know! I wish people would stop attempting to add it! Someone even tried to make a PAGE dedicated to this tenuous connection! --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:02, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't call "the most quackinest" a specific reference to either the character page or Shake Your Rump: double superlatives are common in hip hop (another example off the top of my head: "You win our award for most stinkiest," Del, If You Must).

It's actually "You get our vote for most stinkiest", but I have to admit that Shake Your Rump is what came to mind when I heard "Most quackinest"

== Movie Reference? ==

Does anyone else think that the reference to "Dr Bubs" as a fashion consultant is a reference to the movie "Hitch," in which Will Smith plays the "Date Doctor" Alex Hitchens?

Not at all. I guess you could say that calling Bubs a paranormal investigator would be a reference to the movie series Ghost Busters, but I would say that both examples are tenuous at best and could not be considered a "fun fact" - [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:12, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== To back up the sticky-side goof ==

I'm unable to save images as PNGs, so I uploaded my proof to Photobucket, in case anybody feels a need to see it: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/danedagenais/badtape.bmp The far side should be sticky] [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:16, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

* I was thinking... could it be intentional? [[User:Sunbun|~sunbun]] 5/12/2005 12:40 GMT

*Not sure, as the tape is correct (save for the lack of a fifth stripe) once he turns his head to the viewers. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:46, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== Dr. Bubs ==

Who keeps deleting my comment about the inside reference between Bubs' business card and [[CGNU]] TV/VCR Repair??? This connection is just as relevant and clear as the connection to [[12:00]].
--[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 01:41, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
: It's on the [[STUFF]] page right now. If it's STUFFed, it's off-limits until the voting ends. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 01:42, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah! I didn't know, if only you would mention that in your edit summary I would be able to pinpoint that. Well I guess I'll go vote on it then. --[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 01:14, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
: Sorry, it's part of my new sysoply power - I can revert single edits REALLY EASILY but it auto-fills the edit summary for me.

== SNES ==

When Strong Bad says "Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV." you can clearly see a north american super nes in the TV.
I don't know if that would be a real-world reference or not, thought I might mention it.

EDIT: ok, I take back "clearly"

--qtip
: I see it too, and I must wonder why people keep removing it... --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 16:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Blue And-1s? ==

Could be a reference to the popular sneakers 'And 1s'. Especially the way Strong Sad intonates the phrase.
: I doubt it. He's saying he's going to do a search for "blue and ones", instead of just "blue ones". --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 03:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Theme Music ==

That is the coolest music I've ever heard! It seems to be some sort of Casio instrument with a rythym accompanyment in the background...but what instrument? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 21:59, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

it sounds a little like a kazoo to me. [[User:Kefti islander|Kefti islander]] 00:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== The good times are over! ==

It's just an idea but could this sentence be (or rather the fact that Homestar keeps repeating it even if the bug swallowing doesn't have anything to do with it) a reference to the "the brothers chaps are losing their touch" kind of comments that almost every toon or E-mail provokes in some fans?

I thought it was just his way of saying "I'm going to die!"

Or maybe he thought he'd have no more fun.

"The Good Times are Over" is a cliched phrase from whenever someone is on a deathbed at an early age, meaning that their times of running around and having fun. It is rarely used to demonstrate a lack of quality.

== Homestar killed Caleb ==

Why the heck did Homestar kill Caleb? Was he hired to?
:It's a joke, dude. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 23:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

== Bubs the Ripper ==

Does anyone have any clue how Bubs got his hands on Exhibits A and B (possibly the pancreas)? I'm fearing a homicide reference here. Is it even a pancreas? And what court is there in Free Country USA to convict him, anyhow?

No way! That's definetly not a REAL pancreas!

== The remote ==

I just know I saw that remote somewhere before. Isn't it the remote from the old toon menu? You know, when Sbemail, TGS and Marzipan's answering machine weren't buttons yet. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 20:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, it is. But it's not really a reference, is it? -Walking Armless

== A few proposed transcript revisions ==

* When Bubs is looking in Homestar's mouth, I don't hear "Curious, yes." I only hear "Yes, yes," said with some kind of an accent - like "Yeyes, yes." Is it just me?
* When Bubs is looking in Homestar's mouth, Homestar's "gurglings" sound like he's trying to repeat what Bubs just said - if I were to transcribe it, "Ogey," "Aa-ahh ahh," "Ingoein." Worth mentioning?
* I don't know how anyone got "A-na-ma" in Strong Bad's line "A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkle." Isn't it just a regular ol' "Ah-ah-ah-ah" (four syllables) type scolding, no extraneous consonants?

Yeah, I'm not a "bold" editor. :-P
--[[User:128.12.90.100|128.12.90.100]] 14:43, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== ''Who'' shot Caleb? ==

I've listened to this cartoon several times, and I'm almost certain that the TV announcer does not say "Find out ''whom'' shot Caleb," as stated in the transcript, but rather says the grammatically correct "''who'' shot Caleb" with a strong emphasis on the word "who" which may have caused some to hear an "m" at the end. I realize a Fun Fact about this has already been STUFF'd and accepted; I'm bothering to bring it up because it seems those who voted on this Fun Fact didn't vote based on the accuracy of the fact but rather voted on its merits assuming it was accurate. I thought I would at least see if others hear this line the way I do. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 00:48, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

== Atari? You tell me... ==

I'm guessing this is the picture you can see when Strong Bad rips his face off of the TV. It says on the main page that it's an Atari, but I can't really tell. I do make out a Gamecube and N64 on the right side though. (I guess we know where their brand loyalties lie.) Can anybody better acquainted with old videogame systems tell me?

The system on the top shelf, far right is clearly a Colecovision. It's black, has a silver label in front, and that's a Coleco controller on top. And remember, they had a Coleco controller in the Space Program email. --[[User:4.249.201.247|4.249.201.247]] 05:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

== The Blue Ones ==

I just did a google image search for the blue ones and got the folowing forst result [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/The_Blue_Ones] the google search is here [http://images.google.com/images?q=the+blue+ones&hl=en&lr=&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title]. You gotta love the irony.
