'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
''{The typical shot of Strong Bad at his computer, which is now, of course, the Compé. As it did in [[Compy Catalog]], the logo, which is in lowercase, has "com" in [[Fonts#Westminster|Westminster]], with a gold, pixelated shine, and "pé" is in another italic, serif font, with a silver pixelated shine. This logo pops-up slowly and fades in while a shine appears in the background. The computer sighs as well, and at one point the entire logo shines from left to right, and when reaching the "é" sparkles the accent mark. The logo then retracts itself and fades-out. Shortly afterward, the screen is replaced with a desktop. The wallpaper is a shot of grass (where focus is on the bottom-left corner). There is only one (pixelated) icon on the desktop; on the top-left corner, which shows Strong Bad's head in an envelope, and it is titled "sbemail.exe". A pixelated cursor is seen on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hey!'' Who taped a full-color photo to my computer screen? ''{rubs the screen}'' It won't come off!

''{cut to wider shot. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''What?'' ''{turns towards and points to the Compé}'' Those are actual graphics? ''{turns back to The Cheat}'' ''And'' I can change it to be whatever I want? ''{Turns back towards the Compé}'' ''{singing}'' Oh, best thing ever! ''{Cut back to the tight shot}'' Best thing ever! ''{He moves the mouse and right clicks the screen. A contextual menu appears with the items, from top to bottom, "Options", "Sounds", "Icons", and "Change Desktop".}'' ''{quickly and mumbled}'' this is the best thing ever! ''{Strong Bad moves the mouse northeastward and hovers over the The colors on this option invert. Strong Bad clicks the "Change Desktop" option, and the grass wallpaper is replaced by an image of Strong Bad dancing in [[The Basement]]. It is a close-up of Strong Bad's butt, which has a lens flare on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' To check my email, all gotta do is click. All that old typin' made my boxing gloves sick. ''{Double clicks on a "sbemail.exe" icon. An email pops-up.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="border:4px solid #999;color:white">
Dear Strong Bad, 
Does Strong Badia ever host an independent film festival? 
-=Evil Gif=- 
Phoenix, Arizona
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "a hideous growth on my butt festival?" instead of "an independent film festival?" he corects himself by saying "Err...wait. Independent film festival?" to which he then mumbles "Sorry about that. I get those two mixed up." Instead of "Evil Gif", he says "Evil Moms choose Evil Gif" {Pronounced as "jiff". He will pronounce this the same way later. He pronounces "Phoenix" as "fee-niz" and "Arizona" as "arik-sona".}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Gif, the short answer is no. The ''long'' ''{Not typed in italic}'' answer is ''{Forcefully, after a short pause.}'' NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ''{After a short delay, he types these four exclamation marks.}'' ''{normally}'' Independent films are called that for a reason: they are ''independent'' of anything ''good''. ''{Not typed in italic}''

''{Clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And these days, they seemed to be locked in a civil war that will hopefully end in the extermination of both sides. I am, of course talking about independent films versus ''{Types "vs."}'' indie films. "What's the diff?" you may ask? ''{Types a period. He speaks the following quickly.}'' Because apparently you're in a big hurry. ''{Goes back to a normal pace}'' Well, it's as plain as ''{Cut to split shot of Strong Sad in his room with an old film-reel camera at his eye, and Pom Pom in the field with a bottle of water, which he is looking at.}'' Strong Sad and Pom Pom ''{Strong Sad lowers the camera and looks towards the viewer Pom Pom faces towards the camera as well.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

''{The left side of the half, Strong Sad's side, expands to take up the entire screen. We can now see a poster on his wall that reads "BOYS DON'T CRY" with a figure on it. There is a dead plant on a square pillar to which Strong Sad is now looking at, and pointing his camera, to.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad is on the independent film side. ''{Strong Sad moves the camera, which has been in his right hand, to the right, where he presses two buttons of some sort. He is now looking at the camera, which is pointed at the plant again.}'' He's the lifer artist-type that went to film school.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I minored in holding on wide shots for too long!

''{There is a two to three second pause.}''

''{Cut to a movie theater screen. A few empty seats are shown on the bottom. On the screen is a black and white movie that consists of the dead plant Strong Sad was filming. There appears to be two puzzle pieces in front of the pot. The film zooms into what appears to be the shadow of the square pillar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And he's making some ''boring'', very personal, ''no budget'' film.

''{Cut to a close-up Strong Sad in his room, still with the camera.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Actually, I've succeeded in going ''lower'' than no budget! I'm making a the world's first faux-budget film! The entire thing's being financed with ''{He pulls up several colored pieces of paper.}'' Monopoly money!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And, best of luck to you.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Pom Pom on the other hand, represents ''indie'' films. The slicker, catchier name they came up with that seems to perform better in the 18 to 24 demo.

''{Cut to Pom Pom in a director's chair facing the film. There is a digital studio camera to the left of him on a tripod. There is a coffee maker on a desk to the right with cups to the left of it. On the right of his chair there is a traditional megaphone. "POM-POM" is stenciled in on the chair. He is talking on his cell phone, with sunglasses it appears, and is holding a water bottle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off screen}'' He's a tech-savvy hipster whose dad owns his own studio, ''{The logo for the studio appears in a corner-curved square (which has a shadow). The name of the studio is "Pom Pictures".}'' and relies on using middle names ''{The stenciled name on the director's chair changes to "POM THOMAS POM" with a popping sound.}'' and/or initials ''{The stencil then changes to "J. POM THOMAS POM"}'' to somehow ''{The stencil changes again to "J. POM THOMAS C. POM".}'' solidify his indie cred. ''{The final edit to the stencil, "J. WILLIAM POM THOMAS C. POM" appears on the director's chair.}'' He'll ''{There is then a cut to what appears to be a three-ring binder}'' spend a 30 million dollar budget ''{The three-ring binder opens to a page explaining the budget}'', trying as hard as he can to make it ''look'' like he only spent a few hundred thousand.

''{Cut to the movie theater as seem earlier. A penciled and colored animating drawing of the studio logo is shown, along with pop music. The logo is zoomed in on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first step is to spend millions on a hand-drawn title sequence—

''{The logo pops away and is replaced with the orange text "presents" in orange cursive text, which starts in the center, and moves to the right. A cloud forms in the top-right corner and moves northwestwards. Then "presents" pops away and is replaced with "an indie film by" in white text. A typical city skyline is drawn from left to right. Also, the red letters "J WILLIAM POM THOMAS C POM" appears under "an indie film by". This text continues to grow in size, and the cloud still moves northwestward, almost out of view.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —that looks like it was made by some Junior High kid during Pre-Algebra ''{The (tilted) mathematical equation "18x+14y" appears in blue and moves in a diagonal line from bottom to top in the bottom-right corner of the movie screen.}''

''{Everything besides the mathematical equation, which is still moving, goes away. A boom box is drawn on the movie screen, with the speakers moving back and forth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and don't forget the indie soundtrack by unknown ''{The movie screen pans upwards to reveal the black text "indie-tronic soundtrack by" and the red text "she likes cloth" under the black text.}'' bands, whose songs are already in every car commercial ever.

''{The screen pans down past the boom box. A car that appears to be a fourth generation [[Wikipedia:Nissan Motors|Nissan]] [[Wikipedia:Nissan Altima|Altima]] is drawn, and colored completely white.}''

'''SINGER:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Gets really great ''{The text "THE NEW '04" appears under the car}'' gas ''{The transparent text "18 mpg" appears under the preivous text.}'' mileage!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Interrupting in the middle of "mileage", still off screen.}'' The title of the movie is either—

''{A female character, similar to [[Missy Palmer]], is drawn wearing a yellow shirt, orange hair and blue glasses her skin color is transparent. A male character similar to [[Mike Chapman]] is shown, with a white shirt, with black glasses, and a yellow sock cap. The skin color is also transparent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —two of the cleverly named main characters,—

''{The text "Chester + Meg" in various color patterns are transitioned in, and put in a heart in between the two characters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —or the city and state in which it takes place.

''{As he says the prvious live, the character names are transitioned to create the word "Megchester", and then red letters change the text to "Megchester, NY". The previous city skyline is drawn again under the text.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, in fact, just call it ''{The text changes squash-and-stretches to "city, state" in blue.}'' city comma state.

''{The text changes to "city (comma) state" in the previous manner. The movie screen then fades out to white after a pause, and transitions to a black and white picture open book with the following on it, with two puzzle pieces to the side:}''

<blockquote>
If not for inspiration, to 
wit, because, as it were, only 
begotten from greed, whosoever 
would make it's plaintiff clear. 
 -Nobody U. Know 
 (deceased)
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meanwhile, Strong Sad names his movie from a few boring—
''{There is a zoom in on the page, with all of the text almost completely fading out except for "because, as it were".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —words from the middle of a boring sentence, and makes his own—

''{A tear is shown falling, and lands on the "cau" in "because", causing the ink to fade out a short distance down the page.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —soundtrack by weeping softly—

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room. He is kneeling by his bed with his head in the "bell" of a Saxophone. A microphone is to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —into the wrong end of a saxophone.

''{The camera zooms in on the view of the microphone to Strong Sad's head. A light bass noise and a the light weep of Strong Sad can be heard. Then moves the Saxophone around, generating a guitar-like noise. Then there is a cut back to the movie theater. It is the same screen as it was left before, however the text "a filmic thought-excursion by Strong Sad" appears underneath "because, as it were". The "soundtrack" continues to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' His film will star a washed-up TV actor ''{The just introduced text is replaced by "starring"}'' that hasn't worked in ten years, in a desperate attempt ''{That text is replaced with "i mean, re-introducing"}'' to reinvent himself.

''{The text "homestar runner" appears under the previous text. There is a record scratch and abrupt cut to close-up of Homestar Runner in the field. The soundtrack has stopped.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Hey, whadaya lookin' at me for?

''{Cut back to the Pom Studios Production Notebook, on the same page as before.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom's movie has A-list—

''{The page flips to a picture of an actor with a five o'clock shadow, with stitches on his cheek, and something behind his ear. The photo is labeled "Lan Handermannek" at the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —movie stars, but they're all working "for scale". ''{The text "will work for scale" is put, as if stamped, on the photo.}'' Which I can only assume is a solid—

''{Cut to a screen with the text "PAYSTUB:" at the top. In the background there is the Pom Pictures logo tiled. A golden scale liquefies from the bottom up. The text "Pay to the order of: Lan Handermannek" is under the scale.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —gold scale, with both sides ''perfectly'' balanced ''{Five gold bars begin to pop on each side of the scale}'' with gold bricks. As for what it's about—

''{Cut to a blank brick wall with the banner "COMING THIS SUMMER!" On the top. As Strong Bad talks, the poster for a movie called "<nowiki>></nowiki>CYBER.COME.STATIC" rolls out in the space below the banner. It is space themed, featuring what appears to be a photo of [[Matt Chapman]] in yellow, red-lensed glasses with a laser gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —an indie film's plot is pretty much the same as any summer blockbuster,—

''{The text on the poster, "In the dead of space, dealing with aliens is the easiest part of the voyage", is enlarged.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but just switch out any mention of the word "space" ''{The text "space," moves slightly upwards and out of place.}'' with the word, "small factory town", ''{As he says this, the words appear in sync, and in the hand-drawn style seen earlier.}'' replace "aliens" ''{The word "aliens" wiggles.}'' with "quirky, dysfunctional family", ''{The text is replaced in the same manner as before. Dysfunctional is hyphenated. The poster, which is masked, begins to fade into a different poster.}'' And replace "voyage" ''{The text "voyage" moves to the right and off screen.}'' with "journey". ''{The text "journey." appears in a typewriter effect.}''

''{The sentence transitions away, and the camera zooms in on the poster for "city (comma) state" there are clouds, the city skyline, a road, and a female character and male character waving to each other.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' In the dead of a small factory town, dealing with a quirky, dysfunctional family is the ''easiest'' part of the journey.

''{Cut to an advertisement for "because, as it were" on paper, stapled to a pole. The camera continues to zoom in on the paper:}''

<blockquote style="text-align:center;">
join us for an 
'''ART HOUSE''' 
'''OPENING''' 
(Shot of because, as it were) 
'''one showing 8PM''' 
followed by director 
whining
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once finished, Strong Sad's independent film will enjoy a small, art house opening.

''{Cut to a zoom out of Strong Sad, who is two the right of the pole.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You forgot the apostrophe s! This film is opening at this guy called ''Art's'' ''{Cut back to the paper. The paper is corrected in red, but no pen visible.}'' house!

''{Cut to a close up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' He's got like ''three'' couches! ''{In an excited tone, he bends his right arm at an angle and moves it back and forth }'' Out-a-sight!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And, best of luck to you.

''{Cut to a shot of the movie theater line as seen in [[the movies]], with the camera slowly panning left. From left to right, Marzipan, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Coach Z are in a line for city (comma) state. city (comma) state is taking up both of the poster holders in view. Senor Cardgage is shown as the usher.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom's little movie that could, opens on 2,000 screens the first weekend, expanding to 10,000 the next.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat (who has popcorn), in the theater. They appear to be the only ones in the theater at this time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And wouldn'tcha know it? This movie was ''{Moving his head around}'' ''sooo'' cheap to make, that he still has money left over to take out—

''{Strong Bad pulls up a piece of paper labeled as the "Local Trade Papes" with the slogan "For your considerasche". The poster for city (comma) state is the only thing on the front page, and under is the text "Best Indie Film".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —full page ads in all the local trade papers during award season! ''{Puts paper away and stares down.}'' That movie is all heart. ''{Wipes is boxing glove on his face, as if he was wiping his nose after holding up tears.}''

''{Cut back to the Compé.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Evil Jeff. The difference between a hideous growth on my butt, and a ''profitable'' hideous growth on my butt. I know you wanted us to have some film festival with all the characters, and you'd get to see little bits of everybody's movies, but I didn't do that. ''{He pauses, and says this scornfully.}'' Because I hate you. OOOoooooooo!! Now who's evil! Forget GIFs ''{Types ".gifs".}'', man. I'm an evil tif ''{Types ".tif".}''! Or maybe an evil 24-bit ping ''{Types ".png".}'' with alpha channel. Or maybe an evil ''{Speaking as if confused.}'' targa ''{Pauses.}'' file? Whatever those are.

''{An "Ah-ha!" is heard from the Compé, and what looks like a rectangular speech bubble slides up from the bottom-left corner of the view (which is the [[Virtual Paper]]). It reads "click to email strongbad" with the back link is shown a few lines under it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Looks like I've gone the-paperless with this new computer. Can I at least customize that sound it makes?

''{The bubble retracts, and pops-up again with a compressed version of the [[Preeeeow]] sound of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''That's'' what I'm talking about!

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on "OOOoooooooo!" to see the poster and tagline of cyber.coma.static.
*:''{the poster slowly zooms in}''
*:'''NARRATOR:''' In the dead of space... dealing with aliens is the ''easiest'' part of the voyage.
*Also, click on the first "hideous growth on my butt" to see a filming session with Homestar and Strong Sad.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I just... don't think I can handle... eating this... asparagus. ''{holds up a limp-looking piece of asparagus}''
*:'''STRONG SAD:''' Cut, cut!
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' What was wrong with that take? I mean, whaddya expect for two pinks and a green? ''{holds up Monopoly money}'' I'm not... Bernardo Ralph Shawn, you know. Sounds like he'd be some type of famous actor.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Graphics Interchange Format|.gif]], [[Wikipedia:Tagged Image File Format|.tif]], [[Wikipedia:Portable Network Graphics|.png]] and [[Wikipedia:Truevision TGA|targa]] are all [[Wikipedia:Raster graphics|raster]] image file formats.
** An [[Wikipedia:Alpha compositing|alpha channel]] is a channel stored in many image formats, dictating the opacity of the individual pixels, allowing for transparency and semi-transparency.
*Being [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071115203232AArJsnA "paid to scale"] means you receive a set wage decided by a "pay scale".

===Remarks===
*The [[Wikipedia:Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]] Money that Homestar Runner is given is the incorrect color. In actuality, pink is for $5 bills, and green is for $20 bills.
*Pom Pom's name is misspelled as "Pom-Pom" on his chair.
*The back button goes to the toons menu instead of the email menu.

===Goofs===
*When [[The Cheat]] walks up the first time, and the camera zooms out, the sbemail.exe icon disappears.
*When Strong Bad types "I am, of course talking about...", he leaves out a comma after "of course".

===Fixed Goofs===
*When Strong Bad said, "Pom Pom on the other hand", he failed to type "the". This was fixed later after release.

===Inside References===
* Strong Bad has a picture of his [[big butt]] for the wallpaper.
* The email icon resembles the photo of Strong Bad that appears on [[New Paper]].
* Strong Bad raps about how [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|typing made his boxing gloves sick]].
* The image of Lan Handermannek comes from [[Comic Book Movie]].
* The characters on ''city (comma) state'' title screen are traces of [[Mike Chapman]] and [[Missy Palmer]].
**[[Matt Chapman]] also plays the character in the ''Cyber.Coma.Static''.
* The band, "[[she likes cloth]]", originates from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]].
* [[Gold|Gold bars]] appear in this email.
* Strong Sad is seen [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiling]].
*Strong Bad admits that he took the email in a [[Emails Taken in a Different Direction|different direction]].
*Strong Bad mentions Pom Pom's [[Parents|dad]].

===Real World References===
* The animated intro in Pom Pom's indie movie is a reference to films which use hand-drawn style opening credit sequences, such as [http://www.shadowplaystudio.com/juno/ this one] from [[Wikipedia:Juno (film)|Juno]].
* "Evil Moms choose Evil Gif" is a play on [[Wikipedia:Jif (peanut butter)|Jif peanut butter]] tag line, "Choosy Moms choose Jif".
*The word "presents" on Pom Pom's film closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:Friendly's|Friendly's]] logo.
*"Megchester" is a play on the name of the city [[Wikipedia:Manchester (town), New York|Manchester, New York]].
* "Pom Pom's little movie that could" is a reference to the children's book [[Wikipedia:The Little Engine That Could|The Little Engine That Could]].

Particleman24: /* Ramshankle = Thunder Machine? */

== Holy Crap Language! ==
The clearly say the "d" word in the ramming song. Or so I heard. Is that a swear count? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:10, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:He says "Dang". See the page title. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 21:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

== Rag Tag Band? ==

I heard him say "Ragtime band" as if.. to make a pun joke.
:Me too! Cause, you know, it's funny. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:: I heard ragtag, which makes more sense describing them. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
== Donnie's 12th Birthday ==

Is it a reference to [[Donnie Chapman]]? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 00:33, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
: That's what whoever wrote one of the Fun Facts that's been on the page for a while seems to think. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== Liquid/Lick ==

I head Swampslash's last battery line as "Lick" rather than "Liquid"
Refering to people licking batteries just to see if it does shock your tongue. {{User:Khsh/sig}} 01:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
: Lick. Definitely "lick". --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
== Braveheart? ==

"And then we all reverse flank, drop trou, and the insurgents should surrender!" isnt this a reffrence to braveheart?
:Hm—maybe (though it's notable that in Braveheart it's the insurgents who ''do'' the mooning). I was wondering whether it had something to do with Gunhaver's boxers—I still don't understand that. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== Swampslash imitating Homestar? ==

When Swampslash is disguised as the D-cell battery and he's saying words like, "Charge. Rabbit." - isn't he imitating Homestar in the sbemail where he's disguised as a trash can and saying, "Garbage. Rubbish." ... ? Just a thought.
*That's mentioned as a [[bike thief]] Inside Reference already. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 15:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== The Trouble with Topples ==

Does it seem to anyone else that Subtlefuge refers to his group with a "Tr-" sound? As in Troublegangers? (Though his pronunciation still makes it sound like "Trouplegangers.") —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
: I think he does say Troublegangers. Weird. It may be due to their status as mercenarioes, but then we get into speculutions. I think we should have that in the transcript for that one line. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
::It's the microphone that Matt uses. If you play close attention, there is noticable fuzz on the "ch", "s", and "t" syllables. He's saying Topplegangers. --[[User:F Minus|F Minus]] 03:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Crackotach (spelled that wrong) definatly says topple. I don't know why the guy would say troublegangers, after they were called topplegangers.
::::The question is not what the word really is. It's definitely "Topplegangers", as it was in [[8-Bit is Enough]]. I think it's at least possible that just the mic, as F Minus suggested. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

== Boxers? ==

Gunhaver says he's been wearing those boxers for the past three days, but he DOESN'T WEAR PANTS. Is this noteworthy? {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 18:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== Reinforcements/Reinforcement ==

The transcript says "Reinforcements" instead of "Reinforcement", even though their is only one. Is it supposed to be plural, or not? [[User:SuperLuigi|SuperLuigi]] 23:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:Actually, the CHARACTER is NAMED Reinforcements. Why? Because it's funny. Like, they say: "Reinforcements arrive", and the character named Reinforcements shows up. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 00:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
::It's exactly as Free says. As seen in [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]]:

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as Silent Rip}'' We're outnumbered! We need Reinforcements!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{as Reinforcements}'' Did somebody say my name?

'''STRONG BAD''' and '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as Firebert and Silent Rip}'' Reinforcements!

::There's only one there too. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== Silence of the Lambs ==
I tried editing this, but it was reversed. Lecter wasn't the one who wore people's skin as clothes. He was a cannibal. The character was "Buffalo Bill" that did the skin wearing. One could also make the case that it's based off "Leatherface" from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" who did the same thing
== Shankle ==
Ramming obviously means "to plow into", but "shank" means over here "to stab". Therefore, the ramshankle means "burst and stab". Should we note what "shank" means, as it seems regional (Northesatern).--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
:I never noticed either of those parts. I just took it as the more-obvious play on "ramshackle". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:14, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== Ramshankle = Thunder Machine? ==
The nature of the Ramshankle vehicle, specifically the fact that it's "made out of old vehicles that we couldn't sell", is probably a reference to the Dreadnok Thunder Machine, which was said to be made up of parts from various Cobra vehicles, a stolen jet engine, and the front end of a Trans Am.
:I agree with this. --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 22:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, while of course the name is a clear reference to the word "ramshackle."

How about this? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/All_Terrain_Ion_Cannon Similar vein to the ramshankle. [[Special:Contributions/173.64.151.28|173.64.151.28]] 02:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think that the Thunder Machine is a better reference. The ATIC is from Star Wars while the Thunder Machine is from G.I. Joe. Take a look at [http://www.gijoetoys.com/5601.jpg this] and tell me that it's more complex. --{{User:Particleman24/sig}} 18:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

== 999 ticket sunglasses ==
I wanted to ask in here because I wasn't 100% sure, but aren't those Strong Bad as Dangeresque's sunglasses that Reynold holds up? If so, would it go in Inside References? [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 19:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

== Indiana Subtlefuge? ==
I've never seen Zartan in action, so when Subtlefuge used the line "He speaks three languages and can blend in anywhere", my first thought was to the Indiana Jones trilogy. I think it was Last Crusade where Indy tells the Nazis that his friend (who has whatever they're looking for) is a master of disguise and speaks many languages. Of course, Indy's bluffing, much as Subtlefuge appears to be here. Could someone who's a bigger Harrison Ford fan fill in the details and confirm/refute this as a reference?

We're gonna need transcript, fun facts, trorvia, remorks and inside referornces. And uh, we're gonna need those links at the bortom to be forxed too....r..--[[File:qod 4 - bubs.PNG|18px]] [[User:Bubz|Bubz]] [[File:qod 4 - bubs.PNG|18px]] 10:40, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== Kick The Can reference? ==

When Homestar is sad and kicking a gray can, I believe music from 1936 is playing.
Is this a reference to "Kick the Can"?

Yes. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll add that now...[[File:qod 4 - bubs.PNG|18px]] [[User:Bubz|Bubz]] [[File:qod 4 - bubs.PNG|18px]] 12:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== Easter Egg? ==

Shouldn't pressing the spacebar to reveal old images from the book be counted as an Easter Egg? It's not something that's readily obvious or stated at the beginning, so I think it should be.
--[[User:Anonny|-anonymous-]] 13:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

:Strangely, this doesn't seem to work for me. Is there a specific time you need to press the spacebar? -- [[User:Wordmama|Wordmama]] 16:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

::It only becomes available once the scene with Homestar and Marzipan is seen. If you click spacebar on that scene and all the way through, it will show the picture of what it really was in the book. [[File:qod 4 - bubs.PNG|18px]] [[User:Bubz|Bubz]] [[File:qod 4 - bubs.PNG|18px]] 16:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== Notable similarity? ==

In [[Strongest Man in the World]], Homestar ''expects'' the conclusion of the original book, but it doesn't happen (Pom Pom refuses to share the golbol.) Similarly, he expects to win the game by running onto the field, as in the original book, but that doesn't happen either. In both cases, they're the only things that happened in the book but not the toon. Is this notable in Fun Facts, would you say? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
:If you can find a short, simple way to word that, than, yeah, this is easily notable.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 16:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Both of them ''was'' different from the original books. But however, in [[Strongest Man in the World]], Pom Pom did not share the golbol. But in [[Where My Hat Is At?]], Homestar just slides in and scores. In [[Where My Hat Is At? (Short)]], Homestar does the same thing, but ends up losing. To sum it up, '''Yes'''. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 16:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== ¿Dónde están los desaparecidos? ==

Does anyone else think that Homestar finding Strong Sad inside a block of concrete at the bottom of the pool is a reference to when [[Wikipedia:Chile under Pinochet#Human rights violations|30,000 Chilean citizens were killed or tortured]] during Augusto Pinochet's rule as Chilean president? Or am I the only one who has had ap spanish and has therefore studied the subject? I remember learning that the victims would be strapped (for lack of a better word) to concrete and cast out into the ocean. Some of the bodies washed up onto the shore somehow before Pinochet died, but he couldn't remember anything about the subject due to Alzheimer's. Does this politicide merit a real-world reference on this page? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:25, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's more of a reference to old cartoons about mobsters encasing victims or late debtors in concrete and throwing them in the ocean. That would explain the costumes and accent. It's a common punishment. [[Special:Contributions/99.142.19.40|99.142.19.40]] 17:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== You guys missed some things. ==

For one, Homestar breaks the fourth wall when he says "We already established that in the first scene." Also, was anyone else reminded of In Search Of The Yello Dello and that other toon when Coach Z began to give Homestar advice? {{User:Neox/sig}} 17:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
:So fix it. It's a wiki. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== Red Bull logo reference? ==

In Homestar's fridge, there is a blue-purple box with a red fish on it with a yellow circle in the background. This could be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:File:Red_Bull.svg|Red Bull logo]], which features two red bulls facing each other in front of a yellow circle. Does anyone agree with me on this? --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 21:07, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

== Gol Book ==

Is the picture of the cover of the original book with the golden spine a reference to those gold books?
:Do you mean the [[Wikipedia:Little Golden Books|Little Golden Books]]? If so, then it's probably a reference. If you look at the original "Where My Hat Is At" in the [[HR:museum.html|Museum]], there isn't a cover for the book, so the cover seen in this toon is possibly something that [[The Brothers Chaps]] created specifically for this toon. --{{User:Particleman24/sig}} 13:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

== Tshort ==

Should it be noted that [[Strongest Man In The World]] is a toon, and this is a short?--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 19:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is sitting at his [[hremail]] desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Tiecollarondemous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Tiecollarondemous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! ''{A record scratch is heard.}'' I can't takes it no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A tool with a very spiky end is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my compooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place while his hair gets slightly blown, and sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echos his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is pretending to eat from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer Pop-Tart with a vengeance! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a green stain on the wall behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like "Doooooosh!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops fly toward Coach Z. Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said it like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one. I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk it broken in two from the explosion, and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side; quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{more angrily; still quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

==Easter Eggs==
*When the [[Lappy]] tells [[Strong Bad]] to put his catch phrase about computer destruction on his "bwees-ness" cards, click "bwees-ness card" to see a business card for a computer destruction business.
*At the end, click on the hole in the wall to see an exchange between [[Strong Sad]] as Gardenboy from [[yes, wrestling]] and [[The Announcer]].
:''{Cut to a scene at the [[Gymnasium]] with The Announcer at the left and Gardenboy at the right}''
:'''GARDENBOY:''' Well, you know, announcer man, that's right! All you gophers out there better listen up! The Magnificent Marzipan stole all Gardenboy's garden tools, and I don't care if she's a women's champion, a men's champion, a half woman-half man's champion... Uh, do we have one of those?
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Uh, yes, I believe we do.
:'''GARDENBOY:''' Well, can I fight them instead?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Saag|Saag paneer]] is an Indian curry based dish consisting of spinach, mustard leaf, and cheese.

===Trivia===
[[File:Homestar uncensored.png|thumb|"Aw, a Weasel."]]
*The hiatus between [[email thunder]] and this email (280 days, or nine months and one week) is the longest gap between any two Strong Bad Emails.

*When the Flash file is decompiled, Homestar's battered face is visible behind the censored box.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container|mega race]]".
*This episode marks the first time Strong Bad actually acknowledges how creepy [[Senor Cardgage]] is.
*This is the first time the exterior of [[House of the Brothers Strong|Strong Bad's house]] is shown outside of [[SBCG4AP]].

|}
*This is the only [[hremail]] accessible from [[Denny's Menu]], as well as the only one accessible from outside the [[New Stuff]] page.

===Remarks===
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
** After the virus was gone, Bubs was seen using a pump action shotgun, when in this clip, it is a double-barreled shotgun.
* Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by [[Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.
* The USB standard had not yet been invented at the time 486-based laptops were available.
* This email contains several instances of [[Deliberately Poor English]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor.
*When Strong Bad is holding the Garden Weasel and wiping his head, the arm wiping his head is not visible.
*The word "millennium" is misspelled during the description of the steak sandwich.
*For one frame the black part of Strong Bad's mask in the reflection comes off the Tandy when Strong Bad punches it.
*Strong Bad's pants switch from having a purple sheen to having a gray sheen during the course of the cartoon.


===Inside References===
*The text on the mug on Homestar's desk appears to read "Auntie Gertr♥de's Tea", which is likely a reference to [[Aunt Gert]], the pantyhose doll from [[garage sale]].
*The explosion montage comprises scenes from [[gimmicks]], [[invisibility]] (slightly modified; see below), [[virus]] (not previously depicted), [[retirement]] (B), and [[retirement]] (A), respectively.
**In his flashback, the broken [[Tandy 400]] explodes when Strong Bad knocks it off his desk. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]].
*[[Onomatopoeia|Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner Universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
**Oddly enough, this toon appeared the monday before the 4th of July, the holiday Happy Fireworks was about.
*Strong Sad's "Gardenboy" wrestling persona (seen in the Easter egg) originated in the email [[yes, wrestling]].
*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when Senor Cardgage first shows up in his house, and he and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] both smile in the Pop-Tart scene.
*Although censored, [[blood]] can still be seen trickling down Homestar Runner's face after being hit with the garden weasel.
*The scene in which Strong Bad introduces his "new computer" is a parody of the [[Lappy 486]]'s intro in the email [[animal]]. The background is originally from [[The Show]].
*Coach Z's "Port Plus" was previously mentioned in [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Horrible Painting]] for some.
*The Lappy's pronunciation "bwees-ness" was used previously in [[theme park]], where Strong Bad makes fun of how the email's author misspells "business".
*Strong Sad exclaiming "Oh, child!" echoes [[retirement]], when the Lappy exclaimed the same thing.
*The "Fightin' Coach Zs" logo from [[One Two, One Two]] appears on the athletic field.
*Strong Bad's line "Aaah! I can't takes it no more!" from offscreen is reminiscent of [[First Time Here?]].
*"Org-ethnic" is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[organic]]" and "ethnic".
*The image of a [[Lappy_486#Female_Lappy_486|Female Lappy]] with [[Fangs|fangs]] in the explosion could be a reference to the ghosts of the [[Tandy 400]] and [[Compy 386]], as seen in the end of [[retirement]].

== Kelly-usa? ==

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)

== Usa, Japan ==

<blockquote>* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa.</blockquote>

This doesn't seem quite right to me. In this case he is interpreting Usa as Kelly's last name, and I don't think it really stands on it's own as a reference specifically to that urban legend. The only thing that stopped me from removing it is the fact that they have referred to the urban legend before, and somewhat recently, but even that relies on either being a close follower of the TBC's work or making a priori connections in order to be considered a reference to the urban legend in my mind. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 12:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I really don't think this enough for a reference, because 1)I don't think they'd reference an urban legend TWICE within about two months, and 2)It's just SB pronouncing an abbreviation as a word. 3)He doesn't even mention Japan. The word "usa" would probably not be enough for a reference alone. Just my opinion. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 13:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I disagree with both of you. It is a fairly commonly known urban legend, and I see no reason to suppose that TBC wouldn't be referencing it. Otherwise, we have to ask the question: why would SB call attention to it unless there was some sort of humorous connection to be made, apart from the mere sound of the word?

:I'm pretty sure it's "Beth", because this is Senor we're talking about. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::He pronounced it Bath. The vowel sound Senor makes is almost 100% clearly an A sound. [[User:MenacingBanjo|MenacingBanjo]] 13:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::: I agree it's "Bathsheba" [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::::Should that become a real-world reference with the Wikipedia link? --[[User:Rotanagol|Rotanagol]] 16:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::I tried, but it got removed as a "common name." I'm pretty sure it's not such in the US, at least outside of specific jewish communities, and even then I'd bet it's largely traceable to the Bathsheba refered to in the wiki link, but I'll let the wiki community decide, I guess. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 17:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::As for pronunciation, i'm neutral... it's could be a portmanteau between "beth" and "bathsheba", or just "bathsheba". that's not why i'm commenting. I'm commenting because it is certainly not a RWR, and probably isn't necessary as an explanation. I feel like it's a commonly enough KNOWN name, even if not many people HAVE it. But then again, i do come from one of those jewish-type communities the anonny mentioned, so i may have a bit of a skewed perception. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::I for one, have never heard of such a name and live in a major city. It probably would be useful to explain what this is, or at least provide a wiki link in the transcript itself rather than a RWR. -[[Special:Contributions/24.118.94.73|24.118.94.73]] 06:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I suspect it's not so much a regional thing as a background thing: people of certain backgrounds, including Deffy's, are likely to be familiar with the [[Wikipedia:Bible|book]] in question (I'm familiar with the name, too, in large part because I'm from [[Wikipedia:Christianity|another background]] that tends to be familiar with that book). Of course, just for cultural reasons, many Westerners with a non-religious background also have some knowledge of these things, and I'm not sure if this is obscure enough to need explaining or if doing so is too much explaining the joke. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Moonwalking? ==

Is it just me, or does Senor Cardgage's walking in place look like a tribute to Michael Jackson's moonwalk move?

It's just you.--[[Special:Contributions/206.205.184.2|206.205.184.2]] 14:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Maybe if he had been walking backwards, but the way it was done, it seemed like it was just supposed to be some weird thing. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 14:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::That's what i thought of given recent events, but [[Best_Caper_Ever#Real-World_References|you can't really say they would do something like that]], can you? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Lappy 486 and Paper 2.0: Rest In Peace==
They killed off Lappy the same way they killed of Tandy, I wonder what new computer will replace it. Perhaps Strong Bad and Homestar will answer an email together. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
:Sorry, but stuff like this really belongs on the forum. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 14:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Kelly-usa? ==

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.
:Actually, it's probably just an extention of the Homenadé joke made in [[Donut Unto Others]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== sbemail201 ==

Do you think this counts as sbemail201? Because if not, sbemail201.html will be the first official sbemail to not be located at "sbeamil{#}.html". {{User:The thing/sig}} 15:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, it counts (it's on the sbemail menu on the site), and [[flashback|no]], [[senior prom|it]] [[email thunder|won't]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:It counts, and it's not the first. [[senior prom]] was located at "kingpoptoon.html".
::There an echo in here? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User:Jay|''Jay'']] 17:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:::speaking of echoes, when he says, "Dear Strong Bad Strong Bad Strong Bad Strong Bad", that echo has happened in at least one e-mail before. is this notable? incidentally, the file is kotpoptoon.html, not kingpoptoon, but w/e {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::::and which email was it? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::that would be [[redesign]], although that one sounded natural, as opposed to strong bad just repeating his name quieter --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 05:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Name styles ==

This may need to be listed on the [[HRW:STYLES|manual of style]] or its talk page, but I just wanted to state somewhere that this toon should be referred to as [[hremail3184]] when listed as a Strong Bad Email and [[Hremail 3184]] when listed as a Hremail or when TBC list it as such. I think our usage to this point has been consistent with the guideline, but I figured it should at least be mentioned out loud. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:I was the one who originally moved the page from [[Hremail 3184]] to [[hremail3184]], and I wasn't sure if I should fix the pages listed in "What links here?" for the former article. I suppose that clears it up. [[User:Dalkaen|Dalkaen]] 04:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== scroll buttons ==

there is no scroll buttons song as of this sbemail

Yeah. We know. It's been stated on the page. {{User:BubbleRevolution/sig}} 18:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Hey, I did that! {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== takes, has, means... ==

So, at least three times in this email, the characters use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, SB says "I can't takes it no more", Coach Z says "... now I don't has to" and the Lappy asks, "does that means?" Are these mentionable? I think they are, in the same vein that "Be's careful" and "be's'ing mean..." were in previous emails... but how do we mention them in this email.... a little help? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 21:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:"This email contains several instances of [[Deliberately Poor English]]." --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Identical explosion marks? ==

I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the explosion mark at the end of this toon is the exact same vector shape that was used in the same spot back in 'virus', after Bubs shot the Compy.
:I did notice, but I wasn't sure if it was worth noting. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==32X Reference==

I did a basic edit about the Grilled mushrooms 32x reference, but since I'm new at this can some one perfect it?

==So popular lately==

Gas rings around explosions in pop culture probably started with the Star Wars Special Editions. Worth a Real World Reference?
:Unless you can make that "probably" into a "definitely", I'd say not. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)
:Meh, I think it's a bit [[TTATOT]]. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Actually, SB's reference itself is rather broad ranging. It's not as if he is referencing a single source of the Saturn ring explosions, but actually the trend of having them. As such, one or two notable mentions might be worth making.

==PONK!==
Anyone else notice the name of the beer Bubs was drinking?--[[User:Robotguy4|Robotguy4]] 05:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:It is clearly "PONK!" Point? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::I think [http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm this] is his point. It really seems like it's a ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]'' reference (right down to Bubs mimicking the Scout's constant "BONK" proclamations); I just haven't added it in because the relationship isn't absolutely obvious. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Since you pointed it out, it's pretty obvious, but before you said anything, I wouldn't have even known about it. That, in my book, is plenty good reason to add it.
::::It has nothing to do with how obvious or not obvious it is and everything to do with whether or not it's actually referring to the thing in question. I don't think there's enough of a similarity to connect the two. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::I disagree. There seems to be plenty of parallels. And as for whether it's "actually referring to the thing in question," since when are you or any of the users on this Wiki actually inside the mind of TBC that you can know for certain what's a deliberate reference and what's not? We can only make such assessments based on external evidence, such as comparable similarities.
::::::Well, that's why we (used to) have STUFF... but anyway, in all honesty, I'm thinking of just adding it in and seeing where things go from there. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Likely it will get removed immediately. The way to go about it is to use this talk thread, not just put it on the page and see what happens. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

==Other Info==

Is anyone planning on putting the writing from Strong Bad's newspaper and business card in the article? [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 08:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:Bwees-ness card is a good idea, and we would all be grateful for the addition of it. Da NewsPapes, however, (and correct me if I'm wrong) says exactly the same thing it has in its other SB-on-da-toilet scenes, so it needs no transcription. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I checked the article for Candy Product, and the newspaper definitely has different text there. What other instances are there? [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 00:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Speech Impediment ==

Is it me, or does Homestar's Speech Impediment is kinda missing at the beginning of the hremail?--{{User:Darkangel/sig}} 08:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== traffic ==

Do the sounds of traffic during Senor Cardgage's part sound like the traffic in his part during the FBI Warning on strongbad_email.exe Disc Six? -Logged Out Open Source Greg
:It sounds like it might be the same, but that's a note for [[Sound Effects]]. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== No Broken Lappy Menu? ==

I think this is the first sbemail where a computer explodes and there is no special menu for the broken computer, like after the tandy and the compy. I can't remember if those came in right away, or a few days later. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 14:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I believe there's been a gap in between the destruction of the computer and the broken menu. The dates on [[virus]] and [[Broken Compy Menu]] back that up. It's probably done that way to avoid spoiling the surprise of the destruction. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Magnificent Marzipan ==

* The Magnificent Marzipan is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Sensational_Sherri|Sensational Sherri]] and/or [[Wikipedia:Don_Muraco|The Magnificent Muraco]].

What evidence is there to support this claim aside from the alliteration? This seems extremely weak to me. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 20:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Already prepared to explode the lappy? ==

I put a fact on the page, but it got removed as unnotable, so I wanted to mention it here. Does no one else find it inconsistent that, although Strong Bad had just now (as of this email) been asked about explosions, he had bought the dooj button (in preparation of exploding the lappy) several weeks ago? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 22:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know about that, but I think a Remark should be made about the button not being plugged into the Lappy until SB points it out. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, it seems notable to me. Like all the <s>crap</s> very interesting fun facts that we put in. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::The way i see it, this email is basically SB telling about how he regularly splo's stuff up, at least as often as he breathes air molecules, so for him to plan to blow up the lappy even before recieving the question is VERY consistant with this email. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Ghost Lappy ==

The (demonic) shadow of Female Lappy in the explosion feels like a reference to the ghosts of the Tandy (Bad Graphics) and Compy (skeleton), but I'm not sure how (or if) to put this into an Inside Reference or Remark. Thoughts? {{User:Itama/sig}} 00:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:Remarks, that's where I think you should put it. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::No, should you put it in Inside References

== Usa, Japan ==

<blockquote>* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa.</blockquote>

This doesn't seem quite right to me. In this case he is interpreting Usa as Kelly's last name, and I don't think it really stands on it's own as a reference specifically to that urban legend. The only thing that stopped me from removing it is the fact that they have referred to the urban legend before, and somewhat recently, but even that relies on either being a close follower of the TBC's work or making a priori connections in order to be considered a reference to the urban legend in my mind. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 12:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I really don't think this enough for a reference, because 1)I don't think they'd reference an urban legend TWICE within about two months, and 2)It's just SB pronouncing an abbreviation as a word. 3)He doesn't even mention Japan. The word "usa" would probably not be enough for a reference alone. Just my opinion. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 13:02, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I disagree with both of you. It is a fairly commonly known urban legend, and I see no reason to suppose that TBC wouldn't be referencing it. Otherwise, we have to ask the question: why would SB call attention to it unless there was some sort of humorous connection to be made, apart from the mere sound of the word?
::Because the "humorous connection" was the fact that he read Usa as her last name instead of her country. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 07:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Sponsored by BEEF

==Transcript==
''{Open to a view of the Cheat Commandos base. Firearms are heard going off and the Commandos are laughing offscreen. The title "Two Part Episode: Part One!!" appears, with "Written with a vengeance by [[A. Chimendez]]". Cut inside to the Commandos. Fightgar is holding a gun and Gunhaver is wearing a vest with dents in it.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Ha ha ha! That was awesome! ''{Takes off vest}'' Here, now someone else put on the bullet-proof vest!

''{A klaxon with the tune of Westminster Quarters [a doorbell tune] sounds, and the Cheat Commandos begin to scramble. The screen is shown, with the words "Doorbell alert!"}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Doorbell stations! Prepare to pretend we're not here, sign for a package, or receive pizza! ''{Moves closer to the camera}'' Let's move, C. C.dos!

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{confused}'' "C. C.dos"? Wouldn't just "C.C.s" be shorter, and make more sense?

''{Gunhaver grabs Silent Rip by the vest.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Making sense is ''not'' part of my mission plan, soldier! I'm sticking with the "do".

''{Cut to the front door. It opens, revealing Flashfight.}''

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I can't believe I'm seeing this sight. Why if it isn't Admiral Flashfight!

'''GUNHAVER:''' To what do we owe the pleasure, admiral?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' I'm here to clean up your act, Cheat Commandos. The Bureau of Elite Fighting Forces ''{holds up a "'''B'''ureau of '''E'''lite '''F'''ighting '''F'''orces" badge}'', or "BEEF", is not impressed with your—

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{interrupting}'' Uh, that's "BEFF".

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Alright, the Bureau of ''Every'' Elite Fighting Force, is not—

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{interrupting again}'' That's "BEEFF". ''{exaggerates the last F}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Yes, and what is your name, soldier?

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{saluting}'' Silent Rip, sir!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Thank you, Smiley Drip. You're fired.

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{nervously}'' Uh, good call, sir. That guy was always ''way'' too concerned with acronyms. Who else can we fire?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Well, ''you'', of course.

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Me''? But then ''{pulls out his gun}'' who will have gun?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{taking the gun}'' I will!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{shaking}'' Buh-buh-buh.... Wuh-wuh-wuh? Zuh-zuh-zuh...

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' You're allowed to stand there stammering for fifteen more minutes ''{two Green Helmets walk up beside Gunhaver}'' and then you will be escorted out by Green Helmets.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Have you no dignity? At least let a Cheat Commanding Officer be escorted out by someone who isn't available in a discount three pack!

''{Cut to a product shot of a discount three pack of Green Helmet toys. The Cheat Commandos theme plays in the background. Then cut back to the headquarters.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' My first act as new head of Cheat Commandos will be... to arrest Blue Laser!

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Oh, I'd ''love'' to see how you're gonna pull ''that'' one off.

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Well, it appears ''you'' all have invited him over to play televised video games.

''{Cut to the Blue Laser Commander, sitting in a beanbag, pressing buttons on a controller. Videogame music plays in the background.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What kind of power-up is "moist beam"?!

''{Cut back to the commandos. Fightgar is standing in front of Flashfight, holding a gun.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' You're under arrest, Blue Laser!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I thought we called a time-out!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Throw him in the brig!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh, you mean Reynold's office?

''{Blue Laser is thrown into a small room, completely empty except for a toilet leaking green sludge. An emaciated Reynold walks in.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Well, hello! Are you here to bring me the slightest morsel?

''{A prison door shuts in front of both of them. Cut back to the main room.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Blue Laser in jail? I can't believe what I'm seein'! It's almost got my pants a-peein'! Hoo hoo! Hah! Hweigh hweigh!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Oh right, I nearly forgot. You're ''definitely'' fired.

''{Sad reaction shot from Crackotage. Cut to the outside of the headquarters, as Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage walk out.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Well, I guess this is it, huh guys?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Forget that noise! Who needs the Cheat Commandos anyway? We'll start our ''own'' elite fighting force!

''{The Cheat Commandos theme plays as the three march off screen. The theme then abruptly stops with a record scratch as we cut to Gunhaver and Silent Rip in a kitchen, wearing white hats with pictures of pizza on them.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{leaning in}'' Drop two more orders of wings for table four!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Comin' up!

''{Close up on Gunhaver, who is reading the "Commando Obsoiver" newspaper. The headline is "Cheat Commandos Actually Doing Stuff".}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{reading angrily}'' "Cheat Commandos save bus full of hostages". "Air drop relief supplies to refugees". "Build orphanage". What type of crap is that?

''{Reynold's brother leans in, wearing a "Mr. Manager" badge, and three pizza hats on various spikes of his hairdo.}''

'''REYNOLD'S BROTHER:''' Get back to work, Charles.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Stupid old man Reynold's younger brother. Who needs him anyway? We'll start our ''own'' restaurant!

''{Cut to a storefront, with a sign reading "Kitchen Commandos". The Cheat Commandos theme plays again.}''

'''SINGER:''' Kitchen Commandos, a really bad idea. It closed down after three months!

''{Pan down to street level. Signs in the windows of the shop read "we are CLOSED!" and "thank you neighborhood for 3 glorious months!". Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage are standing sadly on the street.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Well, whatta we do now?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There's only one thing ''to'' do. In order to show the C. C.dos how much they need us, we're going to bust Blue Laser out of jail!

''{Suspenseful music sting. Cut to the brig, with Reynold and the Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ...and they never let me go on any missions.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ouch, man. I hear that. Ever thought about Blue Lasin' it?

''{The Blue Laser Commander pulls out a pamphlet, with the cover "So, They Never Let You Go On Any Missions... BL Can Help!"}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thoughtfully}'' Hmmm...

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

'''SILENT RIP:''' Break into the headquarters playset? Impossible!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Maybe for us, but not for... my evil twin brother, Subtlefuge!

''{Suspenseful music sting plays again.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Huh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Eh?

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' The leader of the Topplegangers!

''{The first part of the suspenseful sting plays. Crickets sound quietly in the background.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh...

'''GUNHAVER:''' Still nothin'.

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' The sometimes-good-guys sometimes-bad-guys whose only loyalty is to the highest bidder?

''{Suspenseful sting plays slowly.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Oh!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Yeah! And ''they'' can help us open a new restaurant!

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{shrugging}'' Ehghh...

'''GUNHAVER:''' Cheat No-mandos... be continued!

''{Cut to black. The words "Buy all our playsets and toys" start to appear.}''

'''SINGER:''' Buy all our playset—

''{The music is cut off and the words disappear, replaced with "To be continued..." and a suspenseful musical sting.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end click on the T to see a scene with Strong Bad and Homestar Runner.

:''{Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are sitting on Strong Bad's couch in the basement.}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Boy, that Gunhaver sure knows how to kill a cliffhanger.

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't wait to see what kind of restaurant those hamsters open up next!

*At the end click on the ellipsis (...) to see a scene with the Blue Laser Minions.

:''{Two Blue Laser minions are standing in the middle of a soccer field next to a soccer ball. They are wearing orange soccer jerseys labeled "THE STINGS" with the numbers 14 and 38 on them. A guitar riff plays.}''

:'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' You think Dad just forgot to pick us up?

:'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' You know he doesn't like it when we call him that.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Gunhaver nicknaming the Cheat Commandos "C. C.dos" is likely a reference to the file name of the Cheat Commandos animations (in this case, ccdo7.swf). Silent Rip's remarks about "C.C.s" being shorter and making more sense applies in the situation of file names as well.

===Trivia===
*This is [[Flashfight]]'s first speaking role.
*This is the first two-part cartoon on [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] since [[retirement]].
*The guitar riffs that play throughout this and most other Cheat Commandos cartoons are examples of dramatic stings, referenced by the name of the team the [[Blue Laser Minion]]s play for.

=== Remarks ===
*[http://yourkitchencommando.com/ Kitchen Commando] is a real business that claims to help people make healthier food choices.
*Silent Rip salutes with his left hand, which is generally considered improper (except for amputees).

===Inside References===
*The title "Written with a vengeance by A. Chimendez" is a reference to the feud between [[A. Chimendez]] and [[Crack Stuntman]] shown in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]] and [[Pistols For Pandas]].
*Melting [[Cheat Commandos|Cheat Commandos toys]] is mentioned in [[8-Bit is Enough]], as were [[The Topplegangers]].
*The video game music comes from [[StrongBadZone]].
*Crackotage says that his [[pants]] are a-[[pee]]in'. A similar line was also in [[Trogday 08]].
*The tagline of [[Jaded Teen Pizza]] is similar to the lyrics of a song [[Reynold's Brother]] listens to in [[Let us give TANKS!]].
:*Gunhaver was also referred to as Charles in [[Let us give TANKS!]].
*"Commando Obsoiver", the name of Gunhaver's newspaper, is another example of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].

'''Page Title:''' You know dang well!

==Transcript==
''{Open to a view of Gunhaver, Crackotage, Silent Rip walking in a swamp. The title "Two Part Episode: Part Two" appears, with "written on the john by A. Chimendez". The three start walking out the swamp and on to a grassy area.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' You sure this is where the Topplegangers' Hideout is?

'''GUNHAVER:''' I hope so. If not, we're surrounded by an entirely different rag-tag band of mercenaries.

''{Suspenseful music sting plays. Four silhouetted Topplegangers appear from the bushes, pointing guns at Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All together now, boys.

'''ALL:''' ''{nervously}'' Mmmm...gulp!

''{Subtlefuge walks out of the bushes}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Well, if it isn't my good twin brother, Crapotage. And a couple of Cheat Commandos. ''{pronounced cuh-mon-dos}''

''{Cut to Crackotage next to Silent Rip}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Not anymore, Subtlefuge. We're on our own!

'''SILENT RIP:''' And we need your help to break into the Headquarters Playset and free Blue Laser.

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' And how do we know this isn't a trap?

''{Cut to Gunhaver melting with his boxers full of lips on it showing.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' I've been wearing these same boxers for three ''{Crackotage and Silent Rip get disturbed expressions}'' days!

''{Cut back to Subtlefuge}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Euhhg! I'm convinced. You might as well meet the rest of the Topplegangers.

''{Cut to a scene with one of the Topplegangers, the Toppleganger is wearing glasses, also has a mustache, and has a gray skin color, wearing a pink shirt saying "BAD GUY", with a German helmet with a skull on it.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Dryghost.

''{Cut to another scene with another Toppleganger, who has 2 scars, a green mohawk, a blue skin color, a chain around his chest, and a black coat.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Swampslash.

''{Cut to another scene with just trees, where a Toppleganger falls from [[Hammerspace]]. Toppleganger has colorful clown hair, a bright yellow skin color, multicolored spots, and wears facepaint and a grenade belt.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Fudgeclank.

'''FUDGECLANK:''' ''{goofy clown laughter}''

''{The Topplegangers all gather beside Subtlefuge.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE''': Each is sold separately with rifle and gear.

''{The "[[Cheap as Free]]" logo appears in the bottom left corner. Cut an exterior shot of the Cheat Commandos HQ, zooming in to the inside. Flashfight stands in front of [[The Screen]], on which is a diagram and the words "OPERATION TAKE 'EM DOWN".}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' And then we all reverse flank, drop trou, and the insurgents should surrender! Any questions?

''{Cut to Fightgar and Firebert.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, can we let Blue Laser out so we can maybe have some fun for once?

''{Fightgar and Firebert start laughing.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Uh-uh! Don't make me have to fire ''you'', Firebert. I'd hate to waste such an exquisite commando name!

'''FIREBERT:''' ''{Sad The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to Reynold and Blue Laser Commander in Reynold's office. A picture of Gunhaver is on the wall}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{to picture of Gunhaver}'' And I'd like to submit a formal request for you to shut your face whenever it's convenient for you, and if not, then no problem!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Aw, come on! Really let 'er rip!

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{shaking and jumping towards the picture}'' I'll tear off your face! I'll tear it right off! I'll tear it off and wear it to town!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{shocked}'' Whoa! Struck a nerve there, eh, little Scrawnjob?

'''REYNOLD:''' Mmmm, Scrawnjob! I like the sound of that.

''{Suspenseful music sting plays. Cut to the Topplegangers' hideout, where the Topplegangers and the ex-Cheat Commandos are gathered around a table. Subtlefuge lays out a sheet labeled "Cheat Commandos Headquarters Playset Assembly Instructions".}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Here are the plans!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Where did you get those?!

'''DRYGHOST:''' We've had 'em for a while. I got the headquarters playset for my Bar Mitzvah.

'''SWAMPSLASH:''' It looks like this rear battery cover leads to the holding cell.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Then that's our way in!

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' We'll take the Ramshankle!

''{Cut to the Topplegangers and former Commandos in a beat up boat with a pair of wings and a tank turret attached to it.}''

'''SINGERS:''' It's the Ramshankle, and you know dang well, it's made out of old vehicles that we couldn't sell!

''{Cut to Flashfight and the Cheat Commandos.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Since you've all been working so hard, I have a little surprise for you. Non-Violent Dressage Mishaps Volume 4!

'''ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{groans}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I wanted to watch... ponies... fightin'.

''{Cut to the others outside the battery cover.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Here's the battery cover, but how will we ever get it open?

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Leave that to Swampslash, our master of disguise. He speaks three different languages, and can blend in anywhere.

'''SWAMPSLASH:''' ''{dressed as a battery}'' Uh... Charge. Positive. Negative. Rabbit. Um... Lick?

''{The cover bursts open, revealing a group of severely-corroding batteries, and releasing clouds of dust. Everyone starts coughing.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' No wonder the electronic lights and sounds stopped working. These batteries haven't been changed since Donnie's twelfth birthday!

''{Cut to Reynold's office. Gunhaver crashes through the wall.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Sorry Blue Laser, you've stayed in jail for the last time!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{happily}'' Can I get a "''bo''-nus"?!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Bo-nus! Now get out there and make with the evil schemes!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' "Evil scheme" is quite literally my middle name! It's Slovenian!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Ha! This terlet has the green water in it! A-cool!

''{Cut to outside battery cover. Blue Laser Commander walks out through the empty battery compartment.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Now, there's the slight matter of our er, um, uh, let me think of it, how do say, er, uh...payment!

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{looking surprised}'' Oh! Uh... right. How do you feel about defaulted, unpaid, triple mortgages on restaurant spaces?

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' As good as gold!

''{Cut to the HQ interior, where Fightgar, Ripberger, Firebert and two green helmets face [[The Screen]]}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And then...

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Once again...

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ...absolutely nothing happened.

'''ALL:''' Awwww...

''{Blue Laser Commander appears on screen. Suspenseful music sting plays.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Attention Cheat Commandos!

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' How did ''he'' get out!?

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' You're already too late! I've flooded all the country's amusement parks with counterfeit Skee-Ball tickets, causing the cost of Skee-Ball prizes to sky-rocket!

'''ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{gasp}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' And why should the military be concerned with this?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' You'll never get away with it, Blue Laser!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Oh, it wasn't my idea. Meet Blue Laser's newest evil mastermind, Scrawnjob!

''{Danger Music plays, Reynold shows up on screen, wearing large goggles, a baggy Blue Laser uniform and a jagged red necktie with skulls on it.}''

'''REYNOLD/SCRAWNJOB:''' That's right, Cheat ComannDON'TS! Say goodbye to those oversized novelty sunglasses! And that boom box was never attainable!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' So, you've made a game for eight-year-olds slightly more of a rip-off. I still don't see how this affects global security.

''{Cut to Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage, who are now in the room.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Don't you see, Admiral? Without plastic crap to win, kids will have no recourse but to join criminal groups! The world will be overrun with lasers of ''all'' colors!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{halfheartedly}'' Oh no, Gunhaver figured it out, rendering my plan useless through the TV! Bested again by my old nemesis.

'''ALL:''' Yay!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Oh well. I suppose you two are ridiculous enough to justify the other's existence. Here, Gunhaver, you can... have gun. ''{gives Gunhaver's gun back to him}''

'''GUNHAVER''': Thanks! ''{shoots Flashfight}''

'''ALL:''' {gasp}

'''GUNHAVER:''' No, it's cool. He's wearin' that bullet-proof vest from earlier.

''{Reinforcements comes in, wearing the bullet-proof vest.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey guys.

''{Gunhaver looks at Reinforcements with shock.}''

''{Quick cut to the theme song ending screen, picking up where it left off in part 1.}''

'''SINGERS:''' —ets and toys!!

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "playsets" at the end to see Crackotage rhyming.
:''{Cut to a scene with Crackotage at the left and some other Cheat Commandos at the right}''
:'''CRACKOTAGE''': And now that I'm back as part of the team, I can get into my old rhyme scheme. Laughity laugh laugh!
:'''ALL BUT CRACKOTAGE''': ''{moan}''

*Click on "toys" at the end to see a Taranchula clip.
:''{music plays; a [[Powered By The Cheat]] saw blade spins around, and a yellow sound monitor bar matching the music goes in front of it}''
:''{A Taranchula member stands, raises both hands in "devil horns" and a photo-realistic mouth comes out of his hair.}''
:'''TARANCHULA:''' That's what happens when you're down with the Fudgeclank!!!
:''{A Powered By The Cheat Fudgeclank comes in from the top.}''
:'''PBTC FUDGECLANK:''' HA HA HAAAA HA HA!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Toppelganger" references the [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]], the evil twin counterparts of normally good individuals.
*[[Wikipedia:Dressage|Dressage]] is a style of horse competition, emphasizing the movement and grace of horse and rider.
*A [[Wikipedia:Bar Mitzvah|Bar Mitzvah]] is the coming of age ceremony for Jewish males that takes place at age 13. The female equivalent, Bat Mitzvah, takes place at age 12.

===Trivia===
[[Image:DressageMishaps.png|thumb|"And then, once again... absolutely nothing happened."]]
*When Gunhaver bursts into Reynold's Office, the wall he breaks through had a drawing of him on it. He has the same pose and expression as the drawing for a noticeable moment.
*Before Blue Laser comes onto the screen, a few frames from "Non-Violent Dressage Mishaps Volume 4" can be seen.
*Silent Rip mentions the playset belongs to [[Donnie Chapman|Donnie]].

===Remarks===
*Gunhaver says, "This terlet has the green water in it!" Although there is green sludgy looking water around the base of the "terlet", the water inside it is light blue.
*When the ex-Cheat Commandos and the Topplegangers are riding in the Ramshankle, Silent Rip is not visible.

===Goofs===
*When the melting Gunhaver moves his arm, it covers a wrinkle in his shirt, even though it should create another.
*When the Cheat Commandos gasp at the shooting of Flashfight, Fightgar's face and left arm do not move with his body.
*The text on Dryghost's t-shirt is backwards when he is seen riding the Ramshankle.

===Inside References===
*Fightgar reminisces watching [[Pony Fights 2|Pony Fights]], previously seen in [[Commandos in the Classroom]].
*The words "BAD GUY" on Dryghost's t-shirt are likely a reference to [[Strong Bad]]'s tattoo idea in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*"[[Toilets|Terlet]]" is a reversal of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
**The script was "written on the john", another euphemism for a toilet.
*The Taranchula Easter egg recalls [[Trudgemank]].
*Flashfight mentions that Firebert's commando name is "exquisite", a play on the running joke that Firebert is a terrible commando name, begun in [[army]].
*Flashfight's plan involves the Commandos dropping their [[pants]].
*Subtlefuge refers to Crackotage as [[Crap]]otage.
*The [[battery]] disguise and the associated sounds are of the same style as those in [[bike thief]].
*Flashfight appears to have been [[death|killed off]] at the end.

===Real World References===
*Swampslash mentioning a rabbit while dressed like a battery is a reference to the mascot for [[Wikipedia:Energizer_Bunny|Energizer batteries]].
*The line "Each is sold separately with rifle and gear" is a reference to an '80s [[Wikipedia:A-Team#Merchandise|A-Team]] toy commercial. In that commercial, they say the same exact line about the A-Team action figures.
*Reynold's pseudonym Scrawnjob is a reference to the rarely seen G.I. Joe character, [[Wikipedia:Snow Job (G.I._Joe)|Snow Job]].
*Flashfight's plan Operation Take 'em Down is a plan to moon the enemy. A similar battle strategy occured in [[Wikipedia:Braveheart|''Braveheart'']].
*Given Cheat Commandos is a parody of 1980s cartoon-and-toyline-combo [[wikipedia:G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero|G.I. Joe]], the Topplegangers appear to be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Dreadnoks|Dreadnoks]], since both are swamp-dwelling third factions of mercenaries formed of members with Cockney accents. In particular, Swampslash's disguise and linguistic ablities refer to the chameleonic Dreadnok leader, [[Wikipedia:Zartan|Zartan]].

'''Page Title:''' They Need All The Firepower They Can Get!

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Crack Stuntman standing against a bluish-gray background. Music plays.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Blah-hi, kids, BLAH'm Crack Stuntman. ''{places hand on chest}'' I used to do the voice of ''{holds up one finger}'' Cheat Commander on the cartoon man show until contractual mumbo-jumbo ''{annoyed, speaks rapidly}'' screwed me out of the sweetest gig I ever had! ''{suddenly pleading}'' Please take me back!

''{Cut}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{smiling}'' But I'm also the voice of a much more important non-profit organization called—''{shocked and mad, the music stops with a record scratch}'' ''Non-profit?!'' ''{shakes fist}'' What the bluh-what?! ''{faces offscreen, places hand on chest}'' But ''I'm'' still get paid, right?

''{Cut}''

''{Crack is now wearing expensive, jewel-encrusted sunglasses, and his shirt pocket is stuffed with dollar bills}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' But I'm also the voice of a non-profit organization called Pistols for Pandas, ''{Pistols for Pandas logo appears to his left, Crack looks towards the logo and places his hand on his chest}'' that I hold very near and dear to my new sunglasses. ''{points to sunglasses, which sparkle}''

''{Crack turns, and scene changes}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' In light of the recent made-up holiday ''{a card for "ERF DAY" featuring a green Earth appears}'' designed to make your parents feel guilty about their car, ''{the logo slides offscreen}'' I thought I'd tell you just how P-for-P ''{two handguns appear and eventually turn into the Pistols for Pandas logo}'' gets small firearms into the paws of our planet's ''{raises finger}'' most adorable, and ''{the Pistols for Pandas logo turns to face Crack}'' most unarmed, creatures.

''{Scene changes to stick-figure drawings. One has a baseball cap on, the other's head is Crack's. A one dollar bill appears in the hand of the boy, who then presents it to Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' For every dollar you give to Pistols for Pandas, ''{Crack laughs; people are heard laughing in the background (although Crack himself is not)}'' we laugh at, 'cause, like, what good's a dollar gonna do?

''{Crack produces a lighter and burns the dollar bill. The boy looks down, ashamed. The scene changes to a different scene of the boy and Crack. A five dollar bill appears in the boy's hand, and he then presents it to Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' But for every ''five'' dollars you give, ''{Crack smiles and takes the money. We pan right and Crack gives the money to another stick-figure, this time wearing an apron reading "grōsh"}'' we buy one box of cereal ''{the "grosher" raises his arm and the five dollar note transforms into a box of "Prize-O's". Crack smiles and dances}'' with the best prize in it.

''{The scene changes to show Crack Stuntman, with the Pistol for Pandas logo on his chest. His mouth slowly opens to reveal the cereal box before chewing it.}

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I eat said cereal, ''{Crack throws a many-legged toy onto the wall, which rolls down the wall towards the floor}'' play with the prize, ''{Crack opens his mouth and removes the box top}'' and save the box top.

''{Scene changes to blank screen. Fifteen box tops appear in a pyramid formation, and are then revealed to be loaded onto a truck reading "5th grade trucking", driven by Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Once we have enough box tops, I dress up like a fifth grader ''{Crack drives the truck into a school}'' and take them to a local school. ''{We zoom out to reveal that the school is being shown on a computer. The school fades}'' That buys the school a computer, ''{Crack is seen sneaking away with the computer}'' which I sneak out with after charming ''{Crack sneaks off-screen. A female schoolteacher wearing glasses enters and moves to the center of the screen, waving her arm and emitting hearts}'' the horn-rimmed glasses off the media centre ladies. ''{The teacher's glasses fly off}''

''{Scene changes to a stack of five computers. We then zoom out to see that Crack is quickly driving the truck, now loaded with computers and reading "totally legal", into a pawn shop}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I take these computers to a local pawn shop, ''{we zoom in on the pawn shop and the scene changes to Crack, a computer, and a stick-figure with an apron reading "p4wn"}'' and exchange them for the weapons ''{the pawn shopkeeper raises both arms, a cash register is heard, and the computer turns into a pile of pistols. Crack smiles and dances}'' pandas need.

''{Scene changes to a blank screen.}

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' And finally, ''{Crack briefly peeks in from the left}'' when nobody's looking, ''{Crack sneaks in, holding a bag with a picture of a pistol on it, and makes his way over to a panda habitat at a zoo}'' I dump these pistols into the panda habitat ''{Crack throws the bag into the habitat}'' down at the local zoo.

''{zoom on Crack's face, smiling}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Did you hear that? ''{places hand on chest}'' I used the word "local" like three times. ''{raises arm}'' That means this good cause is even upittier than most! ''{buzzer sound is heard, and a box displaying "Buzzword Rated", followed by three leaves, each containing the word "local", appear on the right side of the screen}''

''{Scene changes to the real Crack Stuntman, wearing his expensive sunglasses and leaning back in a chair. Behind him is a fence, and behind that are some bamboo trees. Bird sounds are heard.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' We're destroying these poor creatures faster than ever before. ''{looks at viewer}'' If we don't give them the means to protect themselves when we come clear-cut ''{raises arm to draw attention to bamboo trees}'' their bamboo forests and build a five-star resort, who will?

''{A tray with a two-layered cocktail on it is brought into view}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''I'' said several limes! ''{raises two fingers}'' This is two limes!

''{While this is said, engine noises are heard, and one of the bamboo trees behind Crack slowly leans over. Cut to the Pistols for Pandas logo}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover; as he speaks, the words appear above the logo}'' Pistols For Pandas: This good cause is good...'cause!

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on the panda nose at the end of the toon to see this exchange between Silent Rip and Gunhaver.
:''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip are seen firing lasers at two pandas in a bamboo forest.}''
:'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, Cheat Commander, are we supposed to be fighting the pandas or helping them?
:'''GUNHAVER:''' Who cares? ''{close up of Gunhaver}'' I'm just psyched I got my old job back! I love voice acting! ''{babbles}'' Look at that sweet, sweet lip sync.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*This toon was released around [[Wikipedia:Earth Day|Earth Day]] (referred to as Erf Day), a holiday dedicated to public awareness of environmental issues, such as deforestation and endangered species.
*"Local" is described as a buzzword due to the increasing popularity of [[Wikipedia:Localism (politics)|localism]], such as the [[Wikipedia:Local food|local food]] movement.

===Remarks===
*The shadow of Crack Stuntman's jaw is more accurate than in earlier cartoons.
*The sparkles from Crack Stuntman's expensive sunglasses are the same as from the "sparkle filter" in [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]].
*At $5 per box top, 15 box tops per computer, and 1 computer per 5 pistols, each pistol would end up costing about $15.

===Goofs===
*At the very beginning of the toon Crack Stuntman's outline on his chin does not align properly.

===Inside References===
*[[Pistols For Pandas (organization)|Pistols For Pandas]] was first referenced in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*Crack Stuntman mentions losing his contract to do Gunhaver's voice, which references the disappearance of his character because of his uncooperativeness in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].
**"Contractual mumbo-jumbo" is a reference to "Corporate mumbo/jumbo" which was on Blue Lazer's list of things that might crush Cheat Commandos in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].
*The phrase "cartoon man show" is a reference to [[Fan Costumes '07]].
*Crack Stuntman's line "But I'm still get paid, right?" is similar to the [[Temporarios]] slogan in [[strong badathlon]], "Cuz I'm don't get paid!"
*The [[internet slang]] spelling of "p4wn" also appeared in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].
*The stickman drawing version of Crack Stuntman makes [[Sound Effects#homsar walking|Homsar's walking noise]] when sneaking.
*Crack Stuntman is paid with the "Holler for a Dollar" money from [[An Important Rap Song]].
*The slogan "This good cause is good...'cause!" echoes one of the fortunes from [[Fortune Cookies]]: "You will fight for a just cause, just 'cause."
*The stickman Crack Stuntman uses a flip-top Zippo lighter to incinerate the one dollar bill in the same way that Strong Bad often uses his [[BMW Lighter]].
*The word "Earth" being misspelled as "erf" could be a reference to [[bike thief]], where "Earth" was misspelled as "earf".

===Real-World References===
*The cereal prize is the [[Wikipedia:Wacky WallWalker|Wacky WallWalker]].
*Crack Stuntman using the box tops to buy computers is a reference to [http://www.boxtops4education.com/Default.aspx Box Tops for Education], a nationwide fund raising program created by [[Wikipedia: General Mills| General Mills]], in which students save the box tops found on cereal boxes and other products, and bring the box tops into school, so that the school can receive money for them.

We pan right and Crack gives the money to another stick-figure, this time wearing an apron reading "grōsh"}'' we buy one box of cereal ''{the "grosher" raises his arm and the five dollar note transforms into a box of "Prize-O's". Crack smiles and dances}'' with the best prize in it.

''{The scene changes to show Crack Stuntman, with the Pistol for Pandas logo on his chest. His mouth slowly opens to reveal the cereal box before chewing it.}

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I eat said cereal, ''{Crack throws a many-legged toy onto the wall, which rolls down the wall towards the floor}'' play with the prize, ''{Crack opens his mouth and removes the box top}'' and save the box top.

''{Scene changes to blank screen. Fifteen box tops appear in a pyramid formation, and are then revealed to be loaded onto a truck reading "5th grade trucking", driven by Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Once we have enough box tops, I dress up like a fifth grader ''{Crack drives the truck into a school}'' and take them to a local school. ''{We zoom out to reveal that the school is being shown on a computer. The school fades}'' That buys the school a computer, ''{Crack is seen sneaking away with the computer}'' which I sneak out with after charming ''{Crack sneaks off-screen. A female schoolteacher wearing glasses enters and moves to the center of the screen, waving her arm and emitting hearts}'' the horn-rimmed glasses off the media centre ladies. ''{The teacher's glasses fly off}''

''{Scene changes to a stack of five computers. We then zoom out to see that Crack is quickly driving the truck, now loaded with computers and reading "totally legal", into a pawn shop}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I take these computers to a local pawn shop, ''{we zoom in on the pawn shop and the scene changes to Crack, a computer, and a stick-figure with an apron reading "p4wn"}'' and exchange them for the weapons ''{the pawn shopkeeper raises both arms, a cash register is heard, and the computer turns into a pile of pistols. Crack smiles and dances}'' pandas need.

''{Scene changes to a blank screen.}

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' And finally, ''{Crack briefly peeks in from the left}'' when nobody's looking, ''{Crack sneaks in, holding a bag with a picture of a pistol on it, and makes his way over to a panda habitat at a zoo}'' I dump these pistols into the panda habitat ''{Crack throws the bag into the habitat}'' down at the local zoo.

''{zoom on Crack's face, smiling}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Did you hear that? ''{places hand on chest}'' I used the word "local" like three times. ''{raises arm}'' That means this good cause is even upittier than most! ''{buzzer sound is heard, and a box displaying "Buzzword Rated", followed by three leaves, each containing the word "local", appear on the right side of the screen}''

''{Scene changes to the real Crack Stuntman, wearing his expensive sunglasses and leaning back in a chair. Behind him is a fence, and behind that are some bamboo trees. Bird sounds are heard.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' We're destroying these poor creatures faster than ever before. ''{looks at viewer}'' If we don't give them the means to protect themselves when we come clear-cut ''{raises arm to draw attention to bamboo trees}'' their bamboo forests and build a five-star resort, who will?

''{A tray with a two-layered cocktail on it is brought into view}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''I'' said several limes! ''{raises two fingers}'' This is two limes!

''{While this is said, engine noises are heard, and one of the bamboo trees behind Crack slowly leans over. Cut to the Pistols for Pandas logo}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover; as he speaks, the words appear above the logo}'' Pistols For Pandas: This good cause is good...'cause!

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on the panda nose at the end of the toon to see this exchange between Silent Rip and Gunhaver.
:''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip are seen firing lasers at two pandas in a bamboo forest.}''
:'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, Cheat Commander, are we supposed to be fighting the pandas or helping them?
:'''GUNHAVER:''' Who cares? ''{close up of Gunhaver}'' I'm just psyched I got my old job back! I love voice acting! ''{babbles}'' Look at that sweet, sweet lip sync.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*This toon was released around [[Wikipedia:Earth Day|Earth Day]] (referred to as Erf Day), a holiday dedicated to public awareness of environmental issues, such as deforestation and endangered species.
*"Local" is described as a buzzword due to the increasing popularity of [[Wikipedia:Localism (politics)|localism]], such as the [[Wikipedia:Local food|local food]] movement.

===Remarks===
*The shadow of Crack Stuntman's jaw is more accurate than in earlier cartoons.
*The sparkles from Crack Stuntman's expensive sunglasses are the same as from the "sparkle filter" in [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]].
*At $5 per box top, 15 box tops per computer, and 1 computer per 5 pistols, each pistol would end up costing about $15.

===Goofs===
*At the very beginning of the toon Crack Stuntman's outline on his chin does not align properly.

===Inside References===
*[[Pistols For Pandas (organization)|Pistols For Pandas]] was first referenced in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*Crack Stuntman mentions losing his contract to do Gunhaver's voice, which references the disappearance of his character because of his uncooperativeness in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].
**"Contractual mumbo-jumbo" is a reference to "Corporate mumbo/jumbo" which was on Blue Lazer's list of things that might crush Cheat Commandos in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].
*The phrase "cartoon man show" is a reference to [[Fan Costumes '07]].
*Crack Stuntman's line "But I'm still get paid, right?" is similar to the [[Temporarios]] slogan in [[strong badathlon]], "Cuz I'm don't get paid!"
*The [[internet slang]] spelling of "p4wn" also appeared in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].
*The stickman drawing version of Crack Stuntman makes [[Sound Effects#homsar walking|Homsar's walking noise]] when sneaking.
*Crack Stuntman is paid with the "Holler for a Dollar" money from [[An Important Rap Song]].
*The slogan "This good cause is good...'cause!" echoes one of the fortunes from [[Fortune Cookies]]: "You will fight for a just cause, just 'cause."
*The stickman Crack Stuntman uses a flip-top Zippo lighter to incinerate the one dollar bill in the same way that Strong Bad often uses his [[BMW Lighter]].
*The word "Earth" being misspelled as "erf" could be a reference to [[bike thief]], where "Earth" was spelled as "earf".

===Real-World References===
*The cereal prize is the [[Wikipedia:Wacky WallWalker|Wacky WallWalker]].
*Crack Stuntman using the box tops to buy computers is a reference to [http://www.boxtops4education.com/Default.aspx Box Tops for Education], a nationwide fund raising program created by [[Wikipedia: General Mills| General Mills]], in which students save the box tops found on cereal boxes and other products, and bring the box tops into school, so that the school can receive money for them.

''{Strong Bad reads MI as two letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{disappointed tone}'' Oh, not smart enough for MIT, huh? Just MI? ''{clears screen}'' ''{regular voice}''Well first off, how do you know your crappy bike is even worth stealing? How many pegs you got? Mag wheels? White tires? Worthless baseball card in the spokes? If not, then you got nothing to worry about. What self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a (shudder) ten-speed? Or a (shudder, shudder) mounTAIN bike? The only thing those bikes gets you is tired. Any bike with a water bottle holder is a complete waste of bike. ''{clears screen}'' But, let's pretend you do have a cool bike. I would first go to my old thieving standby: dress up like a bush. ''{pronounces it "boosh"}''

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad is hiding behind a short berry bush with cartoon eyes, his feet clearly visible. He shuffles over to a pink bicycle, carrying the bush with him. He picks up the bike through the bush, and starts carrying it away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
''{Pull out to see Pom Pom talking on a phone. He looks away from his phone to glare at Strong Bad.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking offscreen}'' Oh, I mean... Bush. Bush. Leaves. Branch. Um... Berries.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget: dressing up as a bush is also a great way to get free pizza!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad walks up to the counter behind his bush costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I have some free pizza?

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, bush!

''{Bubs pulls a pizza box from behind the counter and drops it on top of the bush. Strong Bad walks off-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Variations on this approach—

''{Cut to the field, with just Strong Bad standing in the middle of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —include dressing up as a cactus,—

''{The bush is replaced by a cactus, with Strong Bad badly concealed behind it, and cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a trashcan,—

''{The cactus is replaced by a trashcan, again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a barrel.

''{The trashcan is replaced by a wooden barrel, yet again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Though, depending on your physique—

''{The Cheat appears next to Strong Bad's barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —you could also dress up like... a hideous pile—

''{The Cheat turns into a pile of unidentified pink goo, with tufts of hair, a crushed can, a plank of wood, a circular saw blade, and two misaligned cartoony eyes. Strong Bad inches away from the mess. Strong Mad appears on the other side of the barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a... textile factory?

''{Strong Mad turns into a factory building, signed "BRRLAP", with cartoony eyes near the roof. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if I were you, I'd steer clear of pretty much anything with cartoon eyeholes. If that method didn't work for me, I'd go for the awkward swindle. This is especially effective on college campuses.

''{Cut to The Stick. A silhouette of a CGNU building is visible in the background. Homestar, wearing a backpack and backwards cap, is chaining up his white bike to The Stick, the chain is simply looped over the top branch. Strong Bad, sporting a ponytail, walks in, carrying a clipboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, brother. Hey, my bromide. You look like a cool guy who likes to progress. I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing this petition to ban roll-on...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um, yeah, sorry, uh, I've got a class...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and my roommate's like... you know...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Computer lab! ''{darts off-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man. so effective! I've stolen people's lunches this way... their girlfriends... puppies even!

''{Strong Bad throws away his clipboard and walks over to Homestar's bike, and starts kicking the tires. Marzipan walks in, with multicolored dreadlocks, and her own clipboard.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, my bromide, wanna sign this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meal plan! ''{darts offscreen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Cool, man, free bike.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But my all-time favorite thiefnique has got to be, the best use of black turtlenecks and suction cups ever devised: cat-burgling!

''{Cut to a featureless orange wall. Strong Bad climbs up the wall with suction cups, wearing a black turtleneck and beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Almost... to the top!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement... Strong Bad climbs up from behind the orange couch. The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] is on the couch, and two laser guns duct taped to the couch on either side of it. Strong Bad pulls out a spray can of "C'mon! It's Fog!" and sprays it into the air, revealing the two laser beams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Ponch. Laser tech security! I'll have to employ some Chinese acrobatics!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump up, but is stuck to the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to the back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, printing a picture of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice try, New Papes. Though that does make me feel a little better... he was so stripedy...

==Easter Eggs==
*After Strong Bad says MI, click on it to see a pennant for Mediocre Institute.
*Click on "baseball card" to see a [[Trading Cards#From bike thief|trading card]].
*At the end, click on "safe" for this:
:''{The Lappy slowly moves to the right}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what the?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dressed up as a trash can, speaking in a monotone voice}'' Garbage. Garbage. Rubbish. Umm... murder weapon.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you supposed to be a trash can or a robot?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... ''{pulls out petition reading "The Bromide Solution"}'' you wanna sign this petition, my bromide?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Mag wheels", (not to be confused with [[Wikipedia:Magnesium alloy wheels|Magnesium alloy wheels]]) are wheels on a bike that are made with larger and thicker spokes than on a typical bike. Typical mags had 5 to 6 large "spokes". The bike pictured in this episode is a bike with wheel covers. These plastic covers actually fit on the outside of a traditional spoked wheel, much like a hubcap on a car.
*"Pegs" are metal tubes affixed to a bicycle's front or rear axle, allowing the rider to balance their weight on an area other than the pedals and freeing the body of the bike for a wider range of tricks.
*A bromide is an ion of a bromine atom with a charge of -1. Such bromides as potassium bromide were once used as sedatives, leading to the once prevalent use of the word "bromide" to indicate someone or something is platitudinous and boring.
**Bromide is water soluble, so a bromide solution would be bromide in water.
*Attaching a baseball card to the spokes would simulate the sound of a motorcycle as the wheel rotates.
*"[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=earf Earf]" is a dialectic spelling of "Earth."

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's petition reads:
<blockquote>-PETITION- 
i do hearby sign that 
i am in full support 
of fully supporting 
all the good causes 
and casual effects of 
said causes and, as it 
were, caucuses. now, 
previously, and also 
futurely held... 
X________________</blockquote>
*Marzipan's petition reads:
<blockquote>Counter-Petition 
I, the willing signer of this 
document, betta recognize 
that Earf in trouble. Earf 
injured. Injured bad. 
 
X______________</blockquote>

*Homestar's bike is a Huffy SIGMA circa 1987.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad teaches a college kid how to avoid getting their bike stolen."

=== Remarks ===
*In [[hygiene]], two emails prior, Strong Bad complained about a lack of college girls sending him email. The sender of this email, Virginia, appears to be a female college student.
*"Thiefnique" is a [[portmanteau]] of "thief" and "technique."
*"Couchscraper" is a [[portmanteau]] of "couch" and "skyscraper."
*"Brrlap" on Strong Mad's textile-mill disguise refers to [[Wikipedia:burlap|burlap]], a durable but coarse cloth made of vegetable fiber.
*Strong Bad can spray the can of fog, although his hands are stuck to the couch later.
*Homestar's trash disguise has his own eyes, whereas Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat wore disguises with a unified, cartoony eye pattern, quite distinct from their own.
*Homestar boasted in [[cliffhangers]] that he had the history and the motive to steal the Lappy.
*While Homestar is stealing the Lappy, clicking its screen will not create any ripples.
*Strong Bad's bush disguise bears a similarity to a berry-laden bush appearing in the [[Peasant's Quest]] video game.
*This is the first toon to show the exterior of a [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building (assuming that the tower in the background is in fact a building).
*Strong Bad claims that no self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a "mounTAIN bike." Then, dressed as the bush, he proceeds to steal Pom Pom's mountain bike.
*Assuming the couch is a standard one with fabric upholstery, Strong Bad ''couldn't'' have either climbed up or gotten stuck to the couch with suction cups.
*At the end of the [[Podstar Runner]] version of the email, the Easter egg of the Lappy slowly moving to the right starts automatically; however, it does not show Homestar Runner stealing it.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Backwards Pizza.PNG|thumb|azziP dlO 'sbuB "sdrawkcab yllaer a-s'tI"]]
*After Strong Bad receives the pizza and turns around, the logo on the pizza box gets reversed.
*When College Strong Bad throws the clipboard into the air, and then a second time he throws it off the screen, the entire text occasionally gets reversed.
*The printed The Paper is straight and does not follow the curvature of the New Paper.
*The word "safe" can be clicked even while the monitor continues to move in the Easter egg at the end, which restarts that segment from the beginning.
*When Homestar steals the Lappy, the power cord doesn't stretch or move. Instead it stays as it is.
*In the podstar version, the audio only plays on the left speaker until after the switch back to Strong Bad's lappy after Marzipan's line.
*In the easter egg, during the cut to the wide shot, the New Paper disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspelled "enough" as "enogh" in the beginning of his response. This was fixed a few hours after it was released.

===Inside References===
*The pizza Bubs gives Strong Bad is [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] from [[privileges]].
*Pom Pom's costume is from [[technology]].
*The cat-burglar scene shows another instance of [[duct tape]].
*Strong Bad's cat-burgling outfit was seen before in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] (minus the suction cups).
*The music playing as Strong Bad first appears in his bush disguise made its debut as [[Sterrance]]'s theme in [[animal]].
*The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] first appeared in [[the chair]].
*When Strong Bad attempts to steal the bike seat off of [[the couch]], he is foiled by two [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] guns. [[The Poopsmith]] previously carried one of these guns when he [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats Costumes#The Poopsmith|dressed up in Lazer Tag gear]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Bad's line, "I would rather [[Death|die]]," when asked to do something with someone, was first heard in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*The can in The Cheat's hideous pile is the same as the can Homestar kicks in the Easter egg in "[[original]]".
* Strong Bad's intro song is to the same tune as [[Strong Sad]]'s lyrical [[rampage]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad makes reference to the [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].
*The [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building bears a strong resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Tech Tower|Tech Tower]], the main administrative building on the [[Wikipedia:Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]] campus in downtown Atlanta, not far from where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.
*''[[Wikipedia:Cats (musical)|Cats]]'' is a musical stage production, premiering in 1981, in which all the actors, portraying cats, perform in skin-tight costumes.
*[[Wikipedia:Ban (deodorant)|Ban]] Roll On is the name of an actual deodorant product.
*Ponch and Jon were the main characters of the television show [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]].
*The laser guns taped to the couch appear to be [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] "StarLyte" pistols.

===Fast Foward===
*Strong Bad would later conclude two sbmails with the line "See you next time!" in [[Sbemailiarized!]]
*The word "Earth" will later be misspelled again in in a similar fashion in [[Pistols for Pandas]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to the back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Mag wheels", (not to be confused with [[Wikipedia:Magnesium alloy wheels|Magnesium alloy wheels]]) are wheels on a bike that are made with larger and thicker spokes than on a typical bike. Typical mags had 5 to 6 large "spokes". The bike pictured in this episode is a bike with wheel covers. These plastic covers actually fit on the outside of a traditional spoked wheel, much like a hubcap on a car.
*"Pegs" are metal tubes affixed to a bicycle's front or rear axle, allowing the rider to balance their weight on an area other than the pedals and freeing the body of the bike for a wider range of tricks.
*A bromide is an ion of a bromine atom with a charge of -1. Such bromides as potassium bromide were once used as sedatives, leading to the once prevalent use of the word "bromide" to indicate someone or something is platitudinous and boring.
**Bromide is water soluble, so a bromide solution would be bromide in water.
*Attaching a baseball card to the spokes would simulate the sound of a motorcycle as the wheel rotates.
*"[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=earf Earf]" is a dialectic spelling of "Earth."

'''STRONG BAD:'''{rapping} Letters. And words. Emails get absurd, I just gotta jump back?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bike thieves</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
I'm at college and I need to keep my bike from being 
stolen. I figure if I think like a thief, I can figure out 
how to protect it. So, how would you try to steal my bike? 
Virginia 
MI
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads MI as two letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{disappointed tone}'' Oh, not smart enough for MIT, huh? Just MI? ''{clears screen}'' ''{regular voice}''Well first off, how do you know your crappy bike is even worth stealing? How many pegs you got? Mag wheels? White tires? Worthless baseball card in the spokes? If not, then you got nothing to worry about. What self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a (shudder) ten-speed? Or a (shudder, shudder) mounTAIN bike? The only thing those bikes gets you is tired. Any bike with a water bottle holder is a complete waste of bike. ''{clears screen}'' But, let's pretend you do have a cool bike. I would first go to my old thieving standby: dress up like a bush. ''{pronounces it "boosh"}''

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad is hiding behind a short berry bush with cartoon eyes, his feet clearly visible. He shuffles over to a pink bicycle, carrying the bush with him. He picks up the bike through the bush, and starts carrying it away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
''{Pull out to see Pom Pom talking on a phone. He looks away from his phone to glare at Strong Bad.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking offscreen}'' Oh, I mean... Bush. Bush. Leaves. Branch. Um... Berries.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget: dressing up as a bush is also a great way to get free pizza!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad walks up to the counter behind his bush costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I have some free pizza?

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, bush!

''{Bubs pulls a pizza box from behind the counter and drops it on top of the bush. Strong Bad walks off-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Variations on this approach—

''{Cut to the field, with just Strong Bad standing in the middle of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —include dressing up as a cactus,—

''{The bush is replaced by a cactus, with Strong Bad badly concealed behind it, and cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a trashcan,—

''{The cactus is replaced by a trashcan, again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a barrel.

''{The trashcan is replaced by a wooden barrel, yet again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Though, depending on your physique—

''{The Cheat appears next to Strong Bad's barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —you could also dress up like... a hideous pile—

''{The Cheat turns into a pile of unidentified pink goo, with tufts of hair, a crushed can, a plank of wood, a circular saw blade, and two misaligned cartoony eyes. Strong Bad inches away from the mess. Strong Mad appears on the other side of the barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a... textile factory?

''{Strong Mad turns into a factory building, signed "BRRLAP", with cartoony eyes near the roof. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if I were you, I'd steer clear of pretty much anything with cartoon eyeholes. If that method didn't work for me, I'd go for the awkward swindle. This is especially effective on college campuses.

''{Cut to The Stick. A silhouette of a CGNU building is visible in the background. Homestar, wearing a backpack and backwards cap, is chaining up his white bike to The Stick, the chain is simply looped over the top branch. Strong Bad, sporting a ponytail, walks in, carrying a clipboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, brother. Hey, my bromide. You look like a cool guy who likes to progress. I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing this petition to ban roll-on...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um, yeah, sorry, uh, I've got a class...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...free vegan food...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and my roommate's like... you know...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...fellowship...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...so, my parents, um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...drum circle?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Computer lab! ''{darts off-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man. so effective! I've stolen people's lunches this way... their girlfriends... puppies even!

''{Strong Bad throws away his clipboard and walks over to Homestar's bike, and starts kicking the tires. Marzipan walks in, with multicolored dreadlocks, and her own clipboard.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, my bromide, wanna sign this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meal plan! ''{darts offscreen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Cool, man, free bike.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But my all-time favorite thiefnique has got to be, the best use of black turtlenecks and suction cups ever devised: cat-burgling!

''{Cut to a featureless orange wall. Strong Bad climbs up the wall with suction cups, wearing a black turtleneck and beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Almost... to the top!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement... Strong Bad climbs up from behind the orange couch. The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] is on the couch, and two laser guns duct taped to the couch on either side of it. Strong Bad pulls out a spray can of "C'mon! It's Fog!" and sprays it into the air, revealing the two laser beams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Ponch. Laser tech security! I'll have to employ some Chinese acrobatics!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump up, but is stuck to the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to the back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, printing a picture of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice try, New Papes. Though that does make me feel a little better... he was so stripedy...

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Crack Stuntman standing against a bluish-gray background. Music plays.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Blah-hi, kids, BLAH'm Crack Stuntman. ''{places hand on chest}'' I used to do the voice of ''{holds up one finger}'' Cheat Commander on the cartoon man show until contractual mumbo-jumbo ''{annoyed, speaks rapidly}'' screwed me out of the sweetest gig I ever had! ''{suddenly pleading}'' Please take me back!

''{Cut}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{smiling}'' But I'm also the voice of a much more important non-profit organization called—''{shocked and mad, the music stops with a record scratch}'' ''Non-profit?!'' ''{shakes fist}'' What the bluh-what?! ''{faces offscreen, places hand on chest}'' But ''I'm'' still get paid, right?

''{Cut}''

''{Crack is now wearing expensive, jewel-encrusted sunglasses, and his shirt pocket is stuffed with dollar bills}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' But I'm also the voice of a non-profit organization called Pistols for Pandas, ''{Pistols for Pandas logo appears to his left, Crack looks towards the logo and places his hand on his chest}'' that I hold very near and dear to my new sunglasses. ''{points to sunglasses, which sparkle}''

''{Crack turns, and scene changes}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' In light of the recent made-up holiday ''{a card for "ERF DAY" featuring a green Earth appears}'' designed to make your parents feel guilty about their car, ''{the logo slides offscreen}'' I thought I'd tell you just how P-for-P ''{two handguns appear and eventually turn into the Pistols for Pandas logo}'' gets small firearms into the paws of our planet's ''{raises finger}'' most adorable, and ''{the Pistols for Pandas logo turns to face Crack}'' most unarmed, creatures.

''{Scene changes to stick-figure drawings. One has a baseball cap on, the other's head is Crack's. A one dollar bill appears in the hand of the boy, who then presents it to Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' For every dollar you give to Pistols for Pandas, ''{Crack laughs; people are heard laughing in the background (although Crack himself is not)}'' we laugh at, 'cause, like, what good's a dollar gonna do?

''{Crack produces a lighter and burns the dollar bill. The boy looks down, ashamed. The scene changes to a different scene of the boy and Crack. A five dollar bill appears in the boy's hand, and he then presents it to Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' But for every ''five'' dollars you give, ''{Crack smiles and takes the money. We pan right and Crack gives the money to another stick-figure, this time wearing an apron reading "grōsh"}'' we buy one box of cereal ''{the "grosher" raises his arm and the five dollar note transforms into a box of "Prize-O's". Crack smiles and dances}'' with the best prize in it.

''{The scene changes to show Crack Stuntman, with the Pistol for Pandas logo on his chest. His mouth slowly opens to reveal the cereal box before chewing it.}

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I eat said cereal, ''{Crack throws a many-legged toy onto the wall, which rolls down the wall towards the floor}'' play with the prize, ''{Crack opens his mouth and removes the box top}'' and save the box top.

''{Scene changes to blank screen. Fifteen box tops appear in a pyramid formation, and are then revealed to be loaded onto a truck reading "5th grade trucking", driven by Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Once we have enough box tops, I dress up like a fifth grader ''{Crack drives the truck into a school}'' and take them to a local school. ''{We zoom out to reveal that the school is being shown on a computer. The school fades}'' That buys the school a computer, ''{Crack is seen sneaking away with the computer}'' which I sneak out with after charming ''{Crack sneaks off-screen.

''{The teacher's glasses fly off}''

''{Scene changes to a stack of five computers. We then zoom out to see that Crack is quickly driving the truck, now loaded with computers and reading "totally legal", into a pawn shop}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I take these computers to a local pawn shop, ''{we zoom in on the pawn shop and the scene changes to Crack, a computer, and a stick-figure with an apron reading "p4wn"}'' and exchange them for the weapons ''{the pawn shopkeeper raises both arms, a cash register is heard, and the computer turns into a pile of pistols. Crack smiles and dances}'' pandas need.

''{Scene changes to a blank screen.}

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' And finally, ''{Crack briefly peeks in from the left}'' when nobody's looking, ''{Crack sneaks in, holding a bag with a picture of a pistol on it, and makes his way over to a panda habitat at a zoo}'' I dump these pistols into the panda habitat ''{Crack throws the bag into the habitat}'' down at the local zoo.

''{zoom on Crack's face, smiling}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Did you hear that? ''{places hand on chest}'' I used the word "local" like three times. ''{raises arm}'' That means this good cause is even upittier than most! ''{buzzer sound is heard, and a box displaying "Buzzword Rated", followed by three leaves, each containing the word "local", appear on the right side of the screen}''

''{Scene changes to the real Crack Stuntman, wearing his expensive sunglasses and leaning back in a chair. Behind him is a fence, and behind that are some bamboo trees. Bird sounds are heard.}''

''{A tray with a two-layered cocktail on it is brought into view}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''I'' said several limes! ''{raises two fingers}'' This is two limes!

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover; as he speaks, the words appear above the logo}'' Pistols For Pandas: This good cause is good...'cause!

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on the panda nose at the end of the toon to see this exchange between Silent Rip and Gunhaver.
:''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip are seen firing lasers at two pandas in a bamboo forest.}''
:'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, Cheat Commander, are we supposed to be fighting the pandas or helping them?
:'''GUNHAVER:''' Who cares? ''{close up of Gunhaver}'' I'm just psyched I got my old job back! I love voice acting! ''{babbles}'' Look at that sweet, sweet lip sync.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*This toon was released around [[Wikipedia:Earth Day|Earth Day]] (referred to as Erf Day), a holiday dedicated to public awareness of environmental issues, such as deforestation and endangered species.
*"Local" is described as a buzzword due to the increasing popularity of [[Wikipedia:Localism (politics)|localism]], such as the [[Wikipedia:Local food|local food]] movement.

===Remarks===
*The shadow of Crack Stuntman's jaw is more accurate than in earlier cartoons.
*The sparkles from Crack Stuntman's expensive sunglasses are the same as from the "sparkle filter" in [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]].
*At $5 per box top, 15 box tops per computer, and 1 computer per 5 pistols, each pistol would end up costing about $15.

===Goofs===
*At the very beginning of the toon Crack Stuntman's outline on his chin does not align properly.

===Inside References===
*[[Pistols For Pandas (organization)|Pistols For Pandas]] was first referenced in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*Crack Stuntman mentions losing his contract to do Gunhaver's voice, which references the disappearance of his character because of his uncooperativeness in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].
**"Contractual mumbo-jumbo" is a reference to "Corporate mumbo/jumbo" which was on Blue Lazer's list of things that might crush Cheat Commandos in [[The Next Epi-Snowed]].
*The phrase "cartoon man show" is a reference to [[Fan Costumes '07]].
*Crack Stuntman's line "But I'm still get paid, right?" is similar to the [[Temporarios]] slogan in [[strong badathlon]], "Cuz I'm don't get paid!"
*The [[internet slang]] spelling of "p4wn" also appeared in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].
*The stickman drawing version of Crack Stuntman makes [[Sound Effects#homsar walking|Homsar's walking noise]] when sneaking.
*Crack Stuntman is paid with the "Holler for a Dollar" money from [[An Important Rap Song]].
*The slogan "This good cause is good...'cause!" echoes one of the fortunes from [[Fortune Cookies]]: "You will fight for a just cause, just 'cause."
*The stickman Crack Stuntman uses a flip-top Zippo lighter to incinerate the one dollar bill in the same way that Strong Bad often uses his [[BMW Lighter]].
*The word "Earth" being spelled as "erf" is a reference to [[bike thief]].

===Real-World References===
*The cereal prize is the [[Wikipedia:Wacky WallWalker|Wacky WallWalker]].
*Crack Stuntman using the box tops to buy computers is a reference to [http://www.boxtops4education.com/Default.aspx Box Tops for Education], a nationwide fund raising program created by [[Wikipedia: General Mills| General Mills]], in which students save the box tops found on cereal boxes and other products, and bring the box tops into school, so that the school can receive money for them.

==Doppel or Toppel==

:I thought it sounded like "toppleganger" when I was transcribing it, but I'd forgotten about [[The Topplegangers]], so I figured I was just mishearing. But I wasn't, Toppleganger is right, and I've already fixed the transcript as soon as I saw the inside ref. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Get back to work, guys. ==

I think Reynolds brother says "Get back to work, Charles." and don't we already know that Charles is Gunhaver's first name from [[let us give tanks]]? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== white screen ==

<blockquote>A decompiler, a Flash Seek Bookmarklet, or the Greasemonkey script reveals a white screen before the TV Easter egg can be accessed.</blockquote>

I removed this from the ''Easter Eggs'' section, because that's certainly not the right place for it. I considered placing it elsewhere on the page, but decided not to because it doesn't seem that notable. The [[HRWiki:Standards]] as I interpret them, seems we don't mention such things unless they are clearly meant to be discovered and/or add something relevant to the cartoon (E.g. [[:Image:Dodongo.png|"Nice try, dodongo"]] and [[:Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|—by Strong Bab]]). Just thought I'd mention my rationale here, if others feel that it really deserves a mention in the article, I don't have a strong opinion against that. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 19:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Doorbell ==

Does anyone know the name of the "ditty" that the doorbell plays? I know that it is commonly used to depict a ringing doorbell, but I don't want to add it to the real-world references section without knowing the name. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 21:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:See [[wikipedia:Westminster Quarters]] (added a note under Remarks). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:: Why isn't this considered a Real-World Ref? [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:::In my opinion, it belongs under Explanations because it's not referring to any specific clock (or doorbell). That tune is ''very'' commonly used for clocks and doorbells. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

::::But look at [[Donut Unto Others]]. A common tune was used in that toon as well, and that was put in Real World Refs. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah guys, that doorbell was totally awesome! It sounds familiar though. [[User:Fingerface|Fingerface]] 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== With a vengeance ==

The credits say this show was "written with a vengeance by A.Chimendez". We already know he and Crack Stuntman have creative differences and that Gunhaver was nearly written off the show because of it. Now, in this episode, Gunhaver is fired. Am I on to something? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]] 02:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== All Ashore ==

*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral Admiral] is the highest rank in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy naval force], which makes it interesting that Flashfight takes charge of the Cheat Commandos, considering they're mostly ground-based forces.

Is this worth pointing out somewhere? --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 09:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

: For shore (please don't make fun of that pun). --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 10:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

::All of the contents of this cartoon suggest that the Cheat Commandos are administered by BE(E)FF, which is probably an international organization. The fact that Admiral Flashfight and Fightgar both seem to be British and Ripberger has an accent would jive with this, too. And, such an international organization could involve a collaboration among various armed services (Flashfight coming from a Navy, Crackotage coming from an Air Force?). Meh? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 06:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== 3 for 1 ==

The Cheat Commandos ththeme song goes "Cheat Commandos, maybe fighting for freedom, and each is sold separately. Cheat Commandos, they're probably battling evil. Buy all our playsets and toys!"
Is it notable that Green Helmts are 3-for-11, but their theme song says "each is sold separately." [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's notable that although the Green Helmets are part of a "discount three pack", they cost the same as any other CCdo. Although, come to think of it, three for the price of one is a bargain. {{User:Neox/sig}} 16:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Don't forget, that the Green Helmet is analogous to a redshirt on the original Star Trek (i.e. expendable), so, naturally they'd be cheaper. [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 18:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Opps! Sorry. I meant 3 for 1, as in them not being sold separately, where the theme song says "each is sold separately" However, but they're Green Helmets, so maybe they're not like the rest. [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gasp! ==

For some reason, I can only hear Fightgar gasping during the scene when Flashfight fires people. Anyone else? -[[Special:Contributions/76.119.99.198|76.119.99.198]]

== Section? ==

I honestly don't know what section this one belongs in, but...
During the scene where Gunhaver, Silent Rip, and Crackotage are talking outside the headquarters, Gunhaver's face can be seen painted on the door, along with a word bubble reading, "Rock, rock on!"
... Actually, is this even notable enough to be put in?
:The best place for this information is in the transcript itself. Why not go ahead and add it there? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 14:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== Extra Melty? ==

Isn't that a reference to the Meltymens? [[User:DJmankiewicz|DJmankiewicz]] 13:21, 2 June 2009 (CST)
: Meaning the fan stuff thing? Granted there are three of them in that, too, but I think this is more likely just a reference to practice of melting action figures like G. I. Joes. Probably not a deliberate connection. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 19:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
:: I think is's a reference to [[8-Bit is Enough]] where Strong Bad comments that he thinks the Topplegangers would be "Real Melty". [[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 02:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

== Oh yeah! Them. ==

I beleive the way Crackotage goes into great detail about the Topplegangers refers to the way many cartoons introduce recurring characters to new audiences or to make a new character(s) seem old: way drawn out and pointlessly explanatory. Example:

*'''Itchy''' : Hey look Scratchy, its our old friend, Poochy!

*'''Scratchy''': What's his name? I forgot.

*'''Poochie''': {does a rap about himself}

source: The Simpsons: The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochy Show.

See what I mean? I just don't know how to word this so it makes sense in the article. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

:Well, exposition has to happen to some degree in ''all'' fiction, and there are only so many ways to do it. I don't see how this case is a reference to any other instance of it. It doesn't really even seem to be poking fun at the sometimes-ridiculous expository dumps that happen pretty often in serial cartoons / sitcoms / etc. It's just TBC using a little humorous dialog as a way of legitimately needed exposition for us, much the same way any other fiction would. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Crackotage NOT Rhyming? ==

Did anyone else notice how at the end of the toon, Crackotage doesn't even pretend to rhyme?

I tried to watch this 'toon, but it just showed a white square and the navigation bar under it. When I tried to go to the flash file, it just led me to the "404'd" page.

'''Manolios Ugly One''' is [[The Ugly One]]'s father. He is the owner of Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-pawn, a pawn shop specializing in used and broken electronic goods.

Manolios has a flair for sales, except his stock is somewhat less than functional; he showcases a broken [[Wikipedia:VCR|VCR]] and a smashed [[Wikipedia:VHS|VHS tape]] in his Easter egg "commercial" for Lectro-pawn. He has muttered (in tiny letters) "or something like that" after his sales pitches.

In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10#Commentary Transcript|commentary for Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], [[Matt Chapman]] reveals that Manolios' name is taken from the Manolios boat that he and [[Jackie Chapman]] rode in Greece.

In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 15]] Manolios is revealed to have a somewhat protective side for his daughter, as he threatens to "gut" [[D n' D Greg]] "like sheep" if he does anything out of line to The Ugly One. However, Manolios makes good on his threat without provocation soon afterwards.

==Rrll Important==
Okay, a lot of times people say "Hey, this was here lots of times" for something un-jokely, like [[Pizza]], [[Pie]], [[Peas]], [[Diapers]], and other things, and they have been listed as inside jokes or running gags. Those things shou;d be listed under the [[:Category:Items|items category]] or the [[Items]] page rather than here, don't you think? {{User:Salty/sig}} 18:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
:I think the reasoning here is that they might have secret significance with the Bros. Chaps that we don't know about. Thus, an inside joke. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Exactly. It kinda falls under "Why pie and not cookies? Why pizza and not fried chicken? Plus, items are more for reccuring items used in the universe such as Pom Pom's gun, or Strong Sad's iPod.

There are very few true known inside jokes on H*R, the inside being [[TBC]] the outside being us. [[Lemke]] would be the best example. [[Kewpie Dan]], and [[Van Buren]] being others. We really don't "get" these. Lemke has been explained to us, but its still only really funny between the brothers. There could be lots of jokes that they put out there that we don't even catch. Something like the [[The S is for Sucks]] dragon is mearly obscure and not really an inside joke.

:The number of times something is mentioned doesn't determine if it is an "inside joke" or not. Here, a true inside joke is one shared only between TBC and the other contributors. Most of the "jokes" listed here are merely "things that haven’t appeared that many times." This should not determine its classification.

== Pretty sure... ==

...this page is redundant. Running gags is one thing, but how can you have inside jokes on a cartoon, unless TBCs or Missy or someone makes a joke hidden in the cartoon that only they would get...

For instance: Trogdor, fhqwhgads, and even the main character Homsar are no longer inside jokes, even though they started out that way.

None of those are inside jokes, they're running gags that became key features of the site. Do people get me here?--[[User:Original Nick|Nick]] 22:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
:Inside jokes are such because we don't quite know why they're funny. They're something that gets mentioned, but we're not sure why it has significance to the Chaps. Running gags are things that are funny because they appear so often. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar singing ==

Homestar's singing sounds to me like a reference to "Jam On It" by Newcleus. The way he performs the "This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!" rythmically sounds like "Jam on it! Jam on it! I said jam on-on-on, jam on it!" from that song.
:Huh. I just listened to the song and it ''did'' sound a bit like Homestar's "Mo'nin" song. And it would make sense knowing TBC's common references to 80s hip-hop songs. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:Newcleus released "Jam On It" long before the Beastie Boys even existed. Furthermore, "Jam On It" is considered a classic of hip hop, meaning that it is very likely that the Beastie Boys were imitating them.

== Garfunkel outfit? ==

The first thing I thought of when I saw Strong Bad's outfit was Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel. The blonde curly hair and black turtleneck are exactly the same; it's uncanny.

At the end of the email, SB writes

Is that that a specific type of poem structure? I first thought it was a haiku, but it doesn't follow the tradition 3 line 5-7-5 pattern. You poem gurus out there, please chime in. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
: First of all, you left off a line: "So there you ha' it". Secondly, haikus generally don't rhyme (although SB's poem doesn't have the BEST rhyme scheme ever...) It might have an official name, but it just looks to me like a rhyming couplet with a smaller rhyming couplet in each line. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:I think that it is just a standard AABCCB rhyme. It may be an attempt at a Sextilla, which uses that formula, but that needs eight syllables in each line. It is vaguely limerick like, but there is a line to much, roma'ic doesn't rhyme with 101, and it doesn't really scan. I think that it is just supposed to be a generic rhyme.

== Mary Ann? ==

That Mary Ann line has got to be a reference to something. My first reaction was [[Wikipedia:Mary Ann Summers|Mary Ann]] from Gilligan's Island, but I'm not a big enough fan of that show to know if that really makes sense. SB seems to be using it to imply that Homestar is naïve about romantic matters. Is that what her character was like? Anyone know? Ot maybe the joke is supposed to be that he was just on a roll from talking about girl names.
[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 01:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

==Gerly Werly?==
*"I herly perly on gerly wurly" is a reference to a lyric in the Manfred Mann song "Blinded By the Light." The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."

::::::Maybe so, given the context, but I too thought it was a reference to "Blinded by the Light". I thought it was pretty blatantly that--the whole line sounds like the lyric, not just the two words that match Macbeth. Probably it's a play on both references?
:::::::Hurlyburly is a relatively common expression; just because it happened to be used in Macbeth doesn't mean that this is a reference to that particular usage. The Manfred Mann reference seems more likely (although it's not perfect). [[User:86.10.202.209|86.10.202.209]] 09:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty obvious to me that the only joke is based on the girls' names. Meredith puts a "th" at the end of several words, and Kimberly takes it a step further by putting a "berly" at the ends, making her speech unintelligible. I think both the Manfred Mann and the Shakespeare refs are coincidental. [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 12:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's definitely "girl to."[[User:76.71.6.230|76.71.6.230]] 22:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

No,I just listened to it w/my volume on high, and I heard "brother". Or, it maybe "girl to", knowing how Tenerence usually under or over pronounces words. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=love_poems&diff=567006&oldid=567002 your one opinion] overrides that of three others. I'm sure it's "'''welcome, girl, to'''" myself. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Kimberlian? ==

'nother Q: does "kimberlian" refer to anything related to writing styles, or is it just a segue to the kim character? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 06:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
: It and "Meridithian" are just jokes on "Elizabethan". Notice how all three have women's names in them? The Meredith and Kim characters came out of that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Which is no coincidence, of course - "Elizabethan" describes things pertaining to the reign of [[Wikipedia:Elizabeth I|Elizabeth I]] of England. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 19:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
::: Of course. But there was no Queen Kimberly or Meredith that I'm aware of, and thus, no Kimberlian or Meredithian era. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:29, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:::: No, they'd have been rather.. un-royal names. I was just commenting on it being natural that it has a women's name in it :) -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 19:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Shakespeare ==
Does anyone else think there are enough [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=shakespeare&go=Go references to Shakespeare] to warrant an article? [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 19:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's grocery list ==
There appears to be something written on the back of the shopping list homestar has with him (with the basic things on it).. can anyone see what it is?
:If you zoom in on it while viewing the .swf, you can see its just what H*R says: amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Mary Ann? ==

That Mary Ann line has got to be a reference to something. My first reaction was [[Wikipedia:Mary Ann Summers|Mary Ann]] from Gilligan's Island, but I'm not a big enough fan of that show to know if that really makes sense. SB seems to be using it to imply that Homestar is naïve about romantic matters. Is that what her character was like? Anyone know? Ot maybe the joke is supposed to be that he was just on a roll from talking about girl names.
[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 01:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:Or it maybe just Strong Bad insulting Homestar by calling him a girls name. Mary Ann doesn't even need a [not a boy] thing to show its a chick's name. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 03:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Particleman24: /* Green Tongue? */

==Easter Eggs==
Well pretty good but I only found one Easter Egg it's when you click at the end "Love poems"
:There's actually '''two''' by my count. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 05:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Speaking of Strong Sad's easter egg, I don't get it... Why is Strong Sad waiting for "him" to call him???

==Gerly Werly?==
*"I herly perly on gerly wurly" is a reference to a lyric in the Manfred Mann song "Blinded By the Light." The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
I'm not sure if this is right or not. It seems like its more of a a stereotypical unintelligible British-style statement (no offense to those across the pond). Can I get a witness? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I don't quite follow. Maybe if you could give an example of something ... similar? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:::Ditto. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I clearly remember that type of speech being used in Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, in the song Honey Bun: Her hair is curly-whirly, her curls are hurly-burly, her lips are pips, I call her hips, twirly and whirly! {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Since the guy says "Shakespeared," I find it most likely to be referring to "Macbeth," where the witch speaks the line "When the hurly burly's done.
::::::Maybe so, given the context, but I too thought it was a reference to "Blinded by the Light". I thought it was pretty blatantly that--the whole line sounds like the lyric, not just the two words that match Macbeth. Probably it's a play on both references?
:::::::Hurlyburly is a relatively common expression; just because it happened to be used in Macbeth doesn't mean that this is a reference to that particular usage. The Manfred Mann reference seems more likely (although it's not perfect). [[User:86.10.202.209|86.10.202.209]] 09:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty obvious to me that the only joke is based on the girls' names. Meredith puts a "th" at the end of several words, and Kimberly takes it a step further by putting a "berly" at the ends, making her speech unintelligible. I think both the Manfred Mann and the Shakespeare refs are coincidental. [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 12:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:It makes sense to me as a reference to Shakespeare, as immediately afterwards, they get SHAKESPEARED! so i think the joke is connected. Why else would shakespear appear right after a line from his own play? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Green Tongue? ==

Anyone else notice Tenerence Love's green tongue?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 09:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah. But then again, I'd expect that from a PBTC-done clip. Color inaccuracies like the purple boxing gloves and underwears. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:It could be a reference to the Cartoon Network show ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' bacuse in that show, the characters have multi-colored tounges.

== Homestar's poem ==

I know it's a type of poem, I just forgot the name. Can anyone remind me? --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== The Rub [Doctor] ==

The entry currently says that the blackboard has the word 'Rub' and an arrow pointing to Strong Bad. I thought the arrow was just pointing down, so that the board reads
'Rubdown'. Geddit?
:Noted and fixed. Thanks! {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Sky Mall ==
I know this is already in the reference section, but I believe Homestar mentioning that he buys all his groceries from [[wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is a further reference to comedian [[wikipedia:Jim Gaffigan|Jim Gaffigan]]. One of his famous jokes is about the cereal on the bottom shelf without a box, "like it's homeless." So then he doesn't want to admit he's actually buying this ceareal to the cashier, so he says he's "holding it for a friend," and that he "buys all his groceries from [[wikipedia:Sharper Image|Sharper Image]], you know, uh, Sky Mall."--[[User:ItalianBallerina|ItalianBallerina]] 9:37, 26 May 2008 (CT)
:Sorry, thats way too much of a stretch... quite the coincidence tho -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]

== It's a Ham Jam ==

<blockquote>
This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight '''jam!''' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight '''ham/jam!'''
</blockquote>
Everyone seems to agree that "jam" is the word the first time, tons disagree about the second. Let's put our heads together. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I am confident that the second line (not the first!) of Tenerence Love's song describes an overweight ''ham'', rather than jam. People keep trying to change it to "jam". Do other people actually hear "jam" there? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::I hear "ham". (There's definitely no /dj/ sound.) It also makes sense, as hams are five, ten, or even twenty pounds. (Incidentally, I listened to it closely before even knowing what the specifics of this discussion were, and without being told what to listen for.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::As the guy who transcribed it, I'm not sure. I can't hear any consonant clearly, though I suppose "h" would be easier to hide, meaning it's a bit more likely to be "ham". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I heard "jam", then "ham" before I knew there was disagreement about it. It's certainly a jam, and then "ham" is somewhat of a random word that happens to rhyme. Just listened to it again, and the second one definitely sounds like "ham". -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 21:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

This was on at some point before 10:30 last night, that would be the 25th. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 17:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:It was released just after midnight, if I recall correctly, in EST (TBC's timezone as well as mine). So it was on Monday. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I woke up at 2 AM this morning (CDT, UTC -5) and this was up when I checked at 3 A. At about 5:30 I looked at Google's only result for sbemail195, and it said "5 hours ago." It's cutting it close (very early toon), but it was right around the break of Monday. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 18:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I live in Arizona, so it could be a time zone thing. I believe there is a three hour difference between me and the Chaps, so that would explain it. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 19:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar singing ==

Homestar's singing sounds to me like a reference to "Jam On It" by Newcleus. The way he performs the "This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!" rythmically sounds like "Jam on it! Jam on it! I said jam on-on-on, jam on it!" from that song.
:Huh. I just listened to the song and it ''did'' sound a bit like Homestar's "Mo'nin" song. And it would make sense knowing TBC's common references to 80s hip-hop songs. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

It's defitely the Beastie Boys track "Do it"--[[User:24.251.208.71|24.251.208.71]] 07:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:Newcleus released "Jam On It" long before the Beastie Boys even existed. Furthermore, "Jam On It" is considered a classic of hip hop, meaning that it is very likely that the Beastie Boys were imitating them.

== Garfunkel outfit? ==

The first thing I thought of when I saw Strong Bad's outfit was Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel. The blonde curly hair and black turtleneck are exactly the same; it's uncanny. Did anyone else notice this? Or is it possible the style was borrowed from somebody else? [[User:Il Cartographer|Il Cartographer]] 00:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:I see a slight resemblance but it wasn't backed up with any other context such a lyric. By the way, I found it amusing that you qualified him as "Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel" as if there was another Garfunkel out there that people knew about :-)

== poem at the end? ==

At the end of the email, SB writes

:My Homeless Roma'ic.
:Love Poems 101
:Oh the hearts you will win.
:Like this lavender scented plug-in
:New paper, come on and get some!

Is that that a specific type of poem structure? I first thought it was a haiku, but it doesn't follow the tradition 3 line 5-7-5 pattern. You poem gurus out there, please chime in. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
: First of all, you left off a line: "So there you ha' it". Secondly, haikus generally don't rhyme (although SB's poem doesn't have the BEST rhyme scheme ever...) It might have an official name, but it just looks to me like a rhyming couplet with a smaller rhyming couplet in each line. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:I think that it is just a standard AABCCB rhyme. It may be an attempt at a Sextilla, which uses that formula, but that needs eight syllables in each line. It is vaguely limerick like, but there is a line to much, roma'ic doesn't rhyme with 101, and it doesn't really scan. I think that it is just supposed to be a generic rhyme. [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 10:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Portmanteaus

Particleman24 — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 11:32:34 GMT

Particleman24:

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are sometimes used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], often accidentally. [[Strong Bad]], especially, frequently creates portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

Portmanteaus

Particleman24 — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 11:32:02 GMT

Particleman24:

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are sometimes used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], often accidentally. [[Strong Bad]], especially, frequently creates portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

{{tobediscussed}}
== Merge with SS and or TC ==

I think this should be merged with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]]. I mean, What do you think? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 05:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
:Um, have you ever seen the Character Relationships articles? There are tons of them, just check the catagory, those ones deserve their space, why not this one? Anyway, you can't merge it into a character page, too long, and it would need to be in both, and we know that duplicating info is a no-no. '''KEEP'''.--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 07:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, but there are many character relationships out there. See [[Category talk:Character Relationships]]. But, I say '''Delete'''. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 11:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
:::I don't think Strong Sad and The Cheat have a strong enough relationship to merit an article. They don't especially hate or like each other and don't seem to work together frequently. In fact, they aren't really seen together often either. 11 relationship articles are enough. '''DELETE'''. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

::::Yeah, I don't think there's enough of an established relationship between the two for a separate article about the topic. Most of the appearances in the bullying section seem to be instances in which The Cheat is obeying Strong Bad's orders, which is more about The Cheat's relationship with Strong Bad than his relationship with Strong Sad. Other than that, they don't interact any more than any other two random characters. So, I agree that this article should be '''deleted'''. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::This page is at least as good as [[Strong Bad and The King Of Town's Relationship|this]], it shows good examples of Strong Sad and The Cheat getting along, even though if it was up to Strong Bad, they would hate each other.--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 06:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::I agree with Techgeekmbg. Merging this article with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]] sounds like a pretty good idea. --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 21:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

{{mainnav|24|23|1}}
[[Image:Main24.PNG|220px|thumb|"Has anybody seen my pants?"]]

Everything is viewed through blurred vision.

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

'''Place:''' [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Glasses

'''Page title:''' 20/200!

'''Date:''' Tuesday, July 24, 2007

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Homestar holds up a vision testing chart.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — Pulsating red dots appear onscreen. Homestar says, "Hey, are you okay? How many fingers am I holding up?"
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Homestar's shirt changes — first to a [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Peacey P|Peacey P]] shirt, then to a blue [[Wikipedia:Fila_(company)|Fila]] shirt, then to his [[duckie shirt]], then back to his original star shirt.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — Strong Bad walks through the Field in his [[underwear]] shouting, "My pants! Come here, my pants! Has anybody seen my pants?"
*'''[[Store]]''' — Glasses are placed on the viewer, allowing for better vision. Homestar's shirts are still blurred.
*'''[[Email]]''' — Strong Sad appears, holding up Strong Bad's pants and saying, "Well, lookie what I found!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* The page title, "20/200", is the [[Wikipedia: Visual acuity|visual acuity]] measurement used as the threshold for legal blindness.
* The [[Wikipedia: Eye chart|eye chart]] held up by Homestar is known as a "Tumbling E" chart.
* When the glasses are put on, Homestar's shirt logos are still blurred because logos, trademarked designs, and certain words on clothing are often obscured by the producers of visual media (usually television or music videos) when they don't want the logos, designs, or words visible in the final product.

===Trivia===
The vision chart Homestar holds up reads: 
::E W M 
:3 M E W E 
:WME3WEW 
3MWEM3EMEW3WEM

===Remarks===
*By using the Store button after selecting a button which triggers an animation (or by using the [[main page glitch]]), you can watch the scene unblurred.
*The main page has been redesigned slightly:
**The buttons have a new, shinier look.
**There is a little more space in the center.
**The colors on the striped sides are darker and their gradient is more prominent.
**The shadows are larger and more realistic.
*The sky's design is the one used in [[the chair]] and [[Drive-Thru]].
*This main page lacks a [[Irregular Loading Screen|loading screen]].
*The weeklies' pop-up windows are not blurred.
*Strong Bad is seen wearing [[underwear]], but in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear them. However, he does wear boxers in [[senior prom]].
*This main page does not appear to be included in the Main Page randomizer.

===Goofs===
[[Image:SB undawears.PNG|thumb|100px|Legs?]]
*The Weeklies buttons' text, when rolled over, are not in the correct spot.
*The logos on Homestar's shirt extend outside the shirt.
*On Main Pages [[Main Page 15|15]], [[Main Page 22|22]], and 24, at the main page quick links button (in the bottom left corner), the main page 24 button overlaps the white stripe.
*As the glasses are being put on and taken off, the scene is unblurred even outside the lenses.
*Strong Bad's legs don't go through the holes in his underwear, but instead seem to go behind his torso.


===Glitches===
*The [[HR:newbutton.swf|newbutton.swf]] file slightly overlaps the frames of the glasses.
*Main Page 24 is the only main page that currently does not function correctly on the [[Wikipedia: Nintendo Wii|Nintendo Wii]] and [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]]'s web browsers. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing, and the links are not clickable. The links also do not produce the roll-over effects either. The Main Page selection in the bottom left-hand corner is missing entirely. All of the buttons on the top right-hand corner are missing as well. Homestar also lacks the star on his shirt, and the blur effects are not visible (but the page is slightly faded).
**This is due to the Wii and PS3's web browsers only supporting Flash Player 7 and lower content, while Flash 8 or higher is necessary to do the blurring effects found here.


===Inside References===
*Homestar refers to his [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible fingers]].
*This is another appearance of Homestar's [[duckie shirt]].
*Strong Bad and Strong Sad both make references to Strong Bad's [[pants]].
*Blurry T-shirt logos and [[Peacey P]] were previously featured in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]].

===Real World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Fila (company)|Fila]] is an Italian sportswear manufacturing company.

Tompkins

Particleman24 — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 18:36:44 GMT

[[Image:Kiddie_Tompkins.PNG|thumb|left|220px|He never made it out of training pants...]]
[[Image:tompkinteen.png|thumb|right|140px|...or ''did'' he?]]
[[Image:Tompkins color.PNG|thumb|120px|"I got Bowser on the ropes!"]]
'''Tompkins''' is a little boy that taunted the [[Teen Girl Squad]] in their [[School|preschool]] days. When the girls taunt him back, he runs off and [[Death|dies]], somehow leaving his body cut into thirds. His toddler voice sounds quite similar to that of [[Lil' Strong Bad]]. He was also in [[rock opera]], where he is shown laughing at and pointing to [[Anonymous]].

He is seen as a teenager in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], where he is called to Prinicpal [''sic''] [[Strong Bad]]'s office. [[So and So]] thinks he's a renegade, and as "The Over-Achiever Bandit", she even finished the rest of his pre-algebra homework, earning him an A++++++. After So and So and [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brett Bretterson|Brett Bretterson]] become "splittsville", she attempted to get to [[Making Out|first base]] with him in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], but he rejected her whilst playing his [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]]. He has red hair, and possibly has braces.

Tompkins lives with his mother, [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Momkins|Momkins]], and his baby brother, [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Timkins|Timkins]].

In the commentary for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7#Commentary Transcript|Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] state that Tompkins is based on their young cousin. He has threatened to push them down into some "snakewater", as Tompkins does to the girls.

'''Date:''' Tuesday, June 26, 2007

'''Running Time:''' 2:50

'''Page Title:''' B.O.D.H. Local 1-1-Style

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

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it's like a tricycle, but with nineteen wheels instead of three!

'''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:''' ''{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 an Imperial German Army helmet}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing, getting higher at the end}'' Ever and more...

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

'''ALL:''' ...ever and more...

''{Cut to The Cheat next to Strong Mad. The Cheat is wearing an old-fashioned British policeman's hat.}''

'''ALL:''' ...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:''' ''{Slapping 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's 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 it up}'' 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}''

'''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}'' I 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 laying 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.
*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.
*[[Wikipedia:Minutes|Meeting minutes]] are a summary of what was discussed at a meeting.
*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."

===Goofs===
[[Image:StrongMadMouth everandmore.png|thumb|I HAVE A FUNNY MOUTH!]]
*When Strong Mad holds up the needle, his "O" mouth animation causes an extra line 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.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Phencyclidine|PCP]], also known as angel dust, is a recreational [[drug]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Perfume|Eau de Toilette]]'' is [[French]] for a light, low concentrate perfume. "Toilet(te)" is used in an obsolete sense in both English and French to refer to personal grooming, the same sense as "toiletry".
*APB stands for [[Wikipedia:all points bulletin|all points bulletin]], a broadcast issued from one law enforcement agency to another, typically containing information about a wanted suspect.
*The [[Wikipedia:SAT|SAT Reasoning Test]] is a test that is frequently taken prior to entry into college in the United States.
**Timkins's line "Goo goo is ga-ga. Wah wah is ga-ga. Are all goo goos wah wahs?" is a [[Wikipedia:Syllogism|syllogism]] of the form "All X are Y. All Z are Y. Are all X Z?" (the correct answer is "not necessarily"). Syllogisms have never been used on the SAT, but are staples of [[Wikipedia:IQ test|IQ tests]].
*A "nickel" is slang for a five-year prison sentence.
*Olympic Man's jersey is blurred because logos, trademarked designs, and certain words on clothing are often obscured by the producers of visual media (usually television or music videos) when they don't want the logos, designs, or words visible in the final product.

===Trivia===
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue to use a [[Wikipedia:Cold open|cold open]] instead of starting immediately with the opening title sequence.
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue since [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|issue 7]] in which Strong Bad does not work a variation of himself into the comic.

===Remarks===
*The '2 pantries' are mirror images of one another.
*When So-and-So yells "Ah! The popo!" it's not in a word balloon, but her next line is.

===Goofs===
*The "Loading" frames are not rounded at the corners.
*Tompkins is misspelled as "Tomkins" on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] description. (See [[#Fixed Goofs|below.]])
*Once the police officer starts talking to What's Her Face, a line appears near the door-knob.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Tompkins's name was misspelled as "Tomkins" through the entire toon, except in the Snack Mix sequence ("Tompkins' Parlor").
*When Cheerleader was telling the plumber to sneak in through the back window, the text read "the through," while she said "through the."

===Inside References===
*When Tompkins' mom answers the door, So and So has [[fangs]].
*What's Her Face comments about the loss of her [[style]].
*When Tompkins pushes the buttons on his [[Nintendo|Game Boy]] to feed his virtual pet, the text [[Mashing|"m.a.s.h."]] appears.
*So and So saying "I can't do another nickel!" is in reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] when So and So was in jail for shoplifting.
*Tompkins's mom's name ends with [[Names ending in -erson|-erson]].
*This issue contains several words or phrases ending in [['d]].
*"Deliberance" is a [[portmanteau]].

===Real-World References===
*Tompkins's virtual pet resembles a [[Wikipedia:Tamagotchi|Tamagotchi]].
*Peacey P's name resembles [[Wikipedia:Eazy E|Eazy E]] and [[Wikipedia:Percee P|Percee P]], and his voice and singing style are very similar to [[Wikipedia:Snoop Dogg|Snoop Dogg]].
*So and So's line "You'll microwave the baby!!" and the book of urban legends she is holding reference the urban legend of a stoned babysitter [[Snopes:horrors/drugs/babysitter.asp|mistaking a baby for a roast]], and accidentally putting it in the oven (or microwave, in some versions).
*The lines about the Snack Mix prior to What's Her Face's demise are based on the board game [[Wikipedia:Cluedo|Clue]]. The picture of the Snack Mix on the card resembles Clue character [[Wikipedia:Cluedo_characters|Colonel Mustard]] .
*The page title is a reference to comedian [[Wikipedia:Robin Harris|Robin Harris's]] "Bébé's Kids" stand-up comedy act. After his death, his routine was adapted into a movie, also called [[Wikipedia:Bebe's Kids|"Bébé's Kids"]], the first animated feature with a majority African cast.
*"Ding dong. Ding dong, yo." is a memorable line from the video for [[Wikipedia:Fat (song)|"Fat"]] by [[Wikipedia:"Weird Al" Yankovic|"Weird Al" Yankovic]].
*Dangling The Ugly One over the balcony is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Vanilla Ice|Vanilla Ice's]] claim that rap record producer [[Wikipedia:Suge Knight|Marion "Suge" Knight]] hung him up upside down on a hotel balcony in order to get Vanilla Ice to turn over his royalties.
*The [[Wikipedia:PlayStation#PSone|PSOne]] is a smaller and redesigned version of the [[Wikipedia:PlayStation|PlayStation]] video game console, released by [[Wikipedia:Sony Computer Entertainment|Sony Computer Entertainment]] in 2000.

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

Particleman24 — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:20:42 GMT

Particleman24: /* Timkins */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

=====A Helicopter=====
This helicopter attacked some [[The Birds|birds]] with machine guns. Surprisingly, this aircraft was the first object to be seen harming living creatures in the entire series, yet its victims did not include one of the girls. [[Strong Bad]] supplied the rapid fire noise of its deadly projectiles.
|-
| [[Image:Dinosaur.PNG|150px|Bend It Like Beckhamasaurus Rex]] ||
=====The Dinosaur=====
The [[dinosaur]] punted [[What's Her Face]] across the cartoon. Just after this, she was heard to remark, "Dag, yo." She is presumed to have died upon landing. The dinosaur also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, where it was revealed to have bloody teeth.

As the girls go to look so good, a cloud in the background grows angry eyes and a mouthful of sharp teeth. It then quickly chomps on some [[The Birds|birds]].
|-
|[[Image:paul_no_I_in_team.png|150px|No "I" in dead either]] ||

=====No "i" in team boy=====
He is a boy who goes out with [[So and So]], which causes her friends to get jealous. When So and So mentions that she's totally crushing, the boy gets hit by a delivery truck (driven by [[Arrow'd Guy]]) marked "'''CHILDREN'''". He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. He appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].

=====Thrift Store Person=====
This person is found at the thrift store that [[What's Her Face]] shopped at, where she stays behind a rack of shirts, holding a sign that reads, "1 or 2 cent each item." In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] DVD commentary, Strong Bad says that she is a "homeless woman."
|-
|[[Image:Possum_Attack.PNG|150px|"Poooosssssummmmms...!"]] ||

=====Possums=====
A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked [[What's Her Face]] as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her. The possum attack apparently made [[What's Her Face]]'s blood hurt. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

| [[Image:Pierced_Heart.PNG|150px|Cupid strikes back]] ||
=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Brett[[Names Ending in -erson|erson]] are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].
|-
| [[Image:quarterback.png|150px|Quarterman]] ||

=====Quarterback=====
The quarterback for the Fighting Growlbacks is a target of the affections of [[Cheerleader]]. He dismisses her with the quip "How's about you get some brains?" This causes Cheerleader to get CEREBELLUM'D by [[Arrow'd Guy]]'s Giant Brain Mech (see below). He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Cerebellumed_Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||

=====Giant Brain Mech=====
The Giant Brain Mech is a giant brain with lips and an eye patch. It is apparently mechanical, because [[Arrow'd Guy]] can be seen controlling the brain under a glass dome. The brain CEREBELLUM'D! [[Cheerleader]] when the Quarterback suggested that she should go get some brains.

|[[Image:perchingbird.png|150px|PERCH!]] ||
=====Fat Bird=====
The fat bird is first seen in Issue 5, perched on the "meanwhile, ON VACATION" sign in the transition scene. Later in the cartoon, when The Ugly One gets nervous and sticks her head in the sand, the fat bird flies down and perches on her side. The bird doesn't seem to do anything after that. It just sits there with its tongue hanging out for the rest of the cartoon.
|-
| [[Image:oldaboys.png|150px|Lying around...]] ||
=====Olda Boys=====
The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They combine their sayings into a techno-like jam in an easter-egg. The spiky-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week#QW-2004-03-08|Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Famous or Cool Guys.PNG|150px|Cool or famous]] ||

=====[[Wikipedia:Henry Rollins|Henry Rollins]], [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]], and [[Wikipedia:George Washington|George Washington]]=====
These are the "cool or famous" people who look at the nervous The Ugly One and then parasail with So and So. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

|-
|[[Image:giftexchangelion.png|150px|Now with more 3-legged action!]] ||
=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines on the grounds that she is vegan. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||

=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:hawiianguy.png|150px|Singing about babies]] ||

=====Hawaiian Guy=====
This musician wears a Hawaiian shirt and plays a ukulele. He sang "Wave o' Babies" as a wave of babies appeared. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:gazelle_carcass_half-digested.PNG|150px|Bonus: Half-Digested!]] ||
=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]] to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

|[[Image:TGS_Intercom.png|120px|Who's that hiding in the wheel?]] ||
=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.

|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. When she talks, her speech balloon has three tails, with only one coming from her mouth. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands.

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DIED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||

=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

A lonely pair at the "Olympic Race," Olympic Man and Coach prepare for some type of sporting event after being ditched by Cheerleader. Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that "the olympics are soooo dumb!", though Coach vehemently denies this to his well-muscled companion, who seems to have no hands.

Olympic Man reappears in [[#Issue 13|Issue 13]] as [[#Peacey P|Peacey P]]'s bodyguard, with the text on his shirt blurred out. When The Ugly One asks for Peacey P's autograph, he dangles (and ultimately drops) her from a hotel balcony into a bayonet tailgate party.

Particleman24: /* Timkins */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

Brett is an imaginary person who So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly by falling in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Brett[[Names Ending in -erson|erson]] are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].

This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

He's a fat man who wears a singlet similar to Strong Mad's. He fell down a slide and squished Teeny Tiny Cheerleader while she was throwing a tantrum.

=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. When she talks, her speech balloon has three tails, with only one coming from her mouth. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DIED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||

=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

When [[Mr. Pitters]] tries to join the Teen Girl Squad, these fiendish birds tell him that he "ain't no Teen Girl" before eating him at a fancy dinner. According to the second vulture, Mr. Pitters tastes "quite good, quite good." They may be an evolution of the vulture from Issue 2. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

A tiny [[Wikipedia:Samurai|samurai]] armed with a [[Wikipedia:Naginata|naginata]] who bursts twice from corn-based products: "corn and corn alone" and corn chips. Both times he does so because they are "no place for a mighty warrior." After emerging from the corn chips, he lathe'd a spinning What's Her Face in two with his naginata. He also appeared in an Easter egg for [[myths & legends]], fighting the corn army.
|-

=====Olympic Man and Coach=====
A lonely pair at the "Olympic Race," Olympic Man and Coach prepare for some type of sporting event after being ditched by Cheerleader. Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that "the olympics are soooo dumb!", though Coach vehemently denies this to his well-muscled companion, who seems to have no hands.

Olympic Man reappears in [[#Issue 13|Issue 13]] as [[#Peacey P|Peacey P]]'s bodyguard, with the text on his shirt blurred out. When The Ugly One asks for Peacey P's autograph, he dangles (and ultimately drops) her from a hotel balcony into a bayonet tailgate party.

=====Scotsmen=====
This "uppaclass" trio of burly, bearded, kilted Scots were drinking a frothy brew from a keg marked "XXX" when they were interrupted by Cheerleader's flirtation. Predictably, she was rejected and caber-tossed only 23 metres away for her efforts.

One of [[Strong Bad]]'s many alter egos. He looks like an extremely chiseled construction worker. He makes an appearance when [[The Ugly One]] becomes hot, and Strong Bad imagines meeting her. After Sir Hotbod begins [[Making Out|making out]] with The Ugly One, Strong Bad himself begins to do the same to the piece of loose-leaf they were drawn on, much to the disgust of onlookers [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]], and [[The Cheat]].

=====Camp Counselor Shortshorts=====
Camp Counselor Shortshorts is trying really hard not to be thought of as a square by What's Her Face and The Ugly One by using random "youthful" quotes. He only succeeds in winning over the girls by singing a song with them. He then meets his end at the hands of Maniac in a Speedo.
|-
|[[Image:Bear.png|150px|He stapled it down!]] ||

=====Chumbly Wumbly Bear=====
The Chumbly Wumbly Bear is the subject of the song that the girls sing with the counselor. According to the song, he "came a tumblin' down", but sold neither beans nor eggs - he couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't. Instead, he "stapled it down".

=====Maniac in a Speedo=====
Maniac in a Speedo comes in at the end of the "Chumbly Wumbly Bear" song. As seen, he wears a paper bag to hide his face and uses a chainsaw to do his bidding. He cut The Ugly One and What's Her Face in half and did a number on Camp Counselor Shortshorts as well.

In an [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12#Easter Eggs|Easter egg]], a CD cover with the name "she likes cloth" is shown.

Seen in [[death metal]], Brainkrieg is a death metal band in [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination that seems to use all of the wrong "d-e" words in their song (deli-style, dentist). They also frequently use the phrase "Jugga jigga wugga". They have a large, poorly drawn audience watching their performance. Cheerleader seems to be a fan—she comes for the wuggas, but stays for the jiggy juggas. They also received last place in The Battle of the Crappy High School Bands.
