Talk:April Fools' 2006

Privatedrew — Sun, 02 Apr 2006 13:29:09 GMT

Privatedrew: What about us....

Man, I was hoping for something really good. This April Fool's wasn't all that funny, and it simply made an ugly mess of the Main Pages. I just hope that this just means that email 150 is that much better! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed... It actually gives me a headache. It's very disorienting. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I hope they do more and fix out the kinks when it's April Fool's for different time zones. [[User:PurpleKoopa|PurpleKoopa]] 06:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:: It appears that all the pages are upside down...which is annoying, but effective given that it took a minute to realize it just turned April 1.--[[User:Motorbikematt|Motorbikematt]] 06:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Yeah, it kind of gives me a headache. Still, it's kind of cool. Btw, nice sig Jay. I mean Tom. I mean DOUBLE DEUCE!!!! '''<tt>[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|ŢɦųηɗəřÞìɤɖ]][[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>''' 08:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I have no idea what you're talking about. My sig just got a small color change due to the fact that my birthday is in less than a year from yesterday. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It's funny, but at the expense of every other joke on the site. [[User:86.136.82.105|86.136.82.105]] 14:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== How did they do it? ==

Does any one know how they did it? I doubt they manually fliped every movie (and 150 sbemails).

:[[Sbemail 150?!?|149.5]] actually. They did it by changing all the embedded swf files to "theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=name of original swf file.swf", which flips them over. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Changed throughout the early morning ==

I was there at random times up until about 2 am (darn college lifestyle) At some point the main page and the toons menu page were both unrotated. They also had the Weeklies items (QFSR) moved at about the same time.

Anyone else get a chance to see this?
:I did. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Now I'm mad! ==

Now everything's upside down! TBC have just ruind April Fools' Day! This isn't funny!
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

So who agrees with me?
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:Not me! --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
::Not me, either! I like it! {{User:H*R 700/sig}} 16:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, there could have been a cartoon, but no, the site just HAD to be messed up. On purpose!
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

:::It's not like it'll be forever. Even if it was, you could always buy the [[Store CD/DVDs|DVDs]]. :) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Nah, I'de rather steal them. :)
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

They COULD have made a cartoon, but that would mean you would have had to wait longer for sbemail 150. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

That would be definetly worh it, unless it's my email.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]

Hm. Well, it wasn't as funny as [[Under Construction]] and [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] were, but not bad... kinda cliche, though. I've seen that joke many times. -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== lol ==

lol look at [[HR:trogdor.html|This]]. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Déjà vû… ==

Man, all those glitches remind me so badly of the subtitles Flash thingy I made back in the day... Exactly like Flipper, it had to load a swf from the Homestar site and display it with various differences (flipper has it upside down, subtitles had it with text overlayed). I had the same problem with weird-proportion toons (took about a page worth of geometry and algebra to fix that one), toons that used <code>_root</code> (it took me ''days'' to find <code>_lockroot</code>), and missing text in certain toons (I never fixed this one... I "fixed" it by never subtitling [[Under Construction]]...). It doesn't surprise me one bit that [[TBC]] hit the same problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

==A Conspiracy?==

[[http://www.makingfiends.com Making Fiends]] has some of its old cartoons edited for April Fools Day as well. Specifically all the characters have beards. Are any other sites doing things like this? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]
:[[Wikipedia:April 1, 2006|Quite a few]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== IT'S OVER! ==

Well guys it's all over. {{User:DBK/sig}} 06:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== What about us? ==

Should we make some mention of hrwiki's AFD adventures? Especially considering the fact that our admins joke was much better than even the Brothers Chaps' and should go down in Homestar Runner History. Of course it makes sense for it to be in the history of the wiki, but maybe at least a mention as a fun fact... -privatedrew

Strong Bad Evolution

Privatedrew — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 09:23:48 GMT

Privatedrew: Red boots are third gen.

[[Strong Bad]] has changed a lot. He's "grown" a blue diamond and a silver V on his forehead and eventually lost his Mexican accent. His personality has changed significantly.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Image !! Info !! Created !! Appearances !! What's Changed?
|-
| [[Image:tinyhandedstrongbad.png|150px]]|| This is the first Strong Bad design. || 1996 || [[Original Book]], ''[[flashback]]'', ''[[Main Page 20]]'' || N/A
|-
| [[Image:sb_evolution_mls.png|150px]] || The second design || 1999 || [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[Old Characters Page]], [[Character Cards]], ''[[personal favorites]]'', ''[[lady...ing]]'' || His mouth is now flesh colored, his eyes are green and detailed, the silver crest and blue diamond are now on his head, and he seems to have grown. Also, his eyes seem to be inside his mask, not outside. He also has purple pants, brighter colors, shading and a belly button.
|-
| [[Image:sbcharcards.png|150px]] || The third design || 2000 || [[Character Cards]] || His eyes are now back outside his head and had blue pants. He also lost the belly button and wears red shoes.
|-
| [[Image:sb_evolution_jumpingjack.png|150px]] || The forth design || 2000 || [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[Strong Libs]], [[Yearbook Character Page]] (in photo) || His design is neater, his red has gotten darker, he now wears black pants. His boxing gloves are bigger. There's more shading, and the outline has become thinner. His eyes are now back outside his head. His belly button has now disappeared.
|-
| [[Image:oldstrongbad.png|150px]] || The fifth design || 2000 || [[Strong Bad Sings]], [[A Jorb Well Done]], [[The Luau]], [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]], all [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[some kinda robot]] to [[halloweener]], [[Main Page 6]], [[Main Page 7]], [[Main Page 8]], [[Main Page 11]], [[Yearbook Character Page]], [[Theme Song Video]], [[Homestarloween Party]], [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], [[A Holiday Greeting]], [[Some Stupid Turkey]] (but with the current non-Hispanic accent) || The outline is colored and has gotten thinner. Around this point Strong Bad loses the "I'm the bad guy" role to more of this mean funny cool guy. His voice is still somewhat Hispanic, but to a lesser extent; the current Strong Bad voice is becoming more noticeable.
|-
| [[Image:sb_evolution_current.png|150px]] || The sixth design, which is also not much different from the current. || 2001 || [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], [[A Mother's Day Message]] (with the old Hispanic accent), all [[Strong Bad Email]]s from [[brianrietta]] to [[extra plug]], [[The Cheat Theme Song]], [[Where's The Cheat?]], [[First Time Here?]], [[Everybody to the Limit]], [[Main Page 15]], [[Homestar Talker]], [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[A Decemberween Pageant]], [[Decemberween Email Menu]], [[The System is Down]], [[Superbowl Dealie]], [[Arcade Game]], [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]], [[Malloween Commercial]], [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[New Boots]], [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]], [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]], [[Experimental Film]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[Revenge of the King]] || He now has a reflection to his eye and much better shading. The black in his mask turned to a lighter shade of gray. His mouth is shaded and his gloves now have the window reflection. By now, the hispanic accent has, more or less, gone away and evolved into a much more relaxed voice that goes up and down in tone, unlike the previous ones which seemed to be a forced low-as-possible tone. His pants have a purplish shine and he has shrunk a little in proportion. His legs are now closer together.
|-
| [[Image:MontageStrongBad.png|150px]] || This is the current design of Strong Bad. || 2004 || All [[Strong Bad Emails]] starting with [[montage]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], [[The Li'l Brudder Show]], [[Bug In Mouth Disease]], [[Senorial Day]], [[Happy Fireworks]], [[Cool Things]], [[TrogdorCon '97]], [[Main Page 23]], [[Sick Day]], [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], [[Fall Float Parade]] || His head is bigger and his arms are higher up and shorter. His shoes are darker, a different shape and have different shading. The black on his face is slightly darker, and takes up more space. His pants seem to have lost some of their purple shading. The diamond is also more symmetrical. The shading on Strong Bad's boots seems to drift from this version's style to the previous version and back.

Dreamaway Johnny

Privatedrew — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 18:21:01 GMT

Privatedrew: New Picture which shows dreamaway Johnny...

[[Image:johhny.png|thumb|"Fifth time this week, Johnny!"]]

'''Dreamaway Johnny''' is a short play, (with only 3 acts, according to a pamphlet) directed by [[Strong Bad]]. It appears in an Easter egg in [[part-time job]]. The entire cast consists of Strong Bad, who plays the character of Johnny, and [[Bubs]], with the role of Mr. Legarm. The main plot revolves around Johnny trying to build a time machine, which he calls the Johnny-Tron, while Mr. Legarm insists that he is wasting time and that his future is at [[Mr. Legarm's Stand|the shop]]. This play takes place on [[The Stage]] in front of a large audience. A sketch of the character Dreamaway Johnny can be seen in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].

Privatedrew: /* Remarks */ grammar

[[Image:downloadpage.PNG|thumb|Please enter your PIN# for assistance.]]
The current '''Downloads''' page is an [[ATM]]-themed source for official Homestar Runner things:
*[[Downloadable Icons]]
*[[Wallpaper]]
*[[Songs]]
*[[Strong Bad Clock]]
*[[Quotes Packs]]
*[[System Sounds]]

'''Page Title:''' $2.00 Service Charge!!

==Easter Eggs==

[[Image:lemcard.PNG|thumb|right|100px|Secure card it is not]]
*Clicking on the "$" button brings up ''Current balance is 0.00 dollars.'' Clicking on "0.00" will bring up a draggable credit card. Clicking on the upper left corner of that card will reveal the backside of it, as well as the PIN. Inserting the card, then entering the pin will unlock a secret section of [[Homsar]] Quotes Pack.

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*If you type in the wrong PIN, the text reads "Wrong Pin#!! I bet you stole this card!"
*The back of Lem's card reads:
<pre>This is a magnificent card.
Superfied Credit Union is
THE NAME in magnificence.
Of crads, at least. I mean cards.
PIN#:5675</pre>

===Remarks===

*The "NEW!" sign has remained on the Graphics Menu button since shortly after the email [[army]].
*The phrase "PIN#" is an example of [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]], due to the "N" already standing for "Number".

===Glitches===

*Once the credit card is in the ATM, it can not be removed unless the page is reloaded.

===Inside References===

*The PIN for the ATM is the same one mentioned in the email [[credit card]], [[Homestar Runner]]'s PIN. The [[Superfied Credit Union]] is also from [[credit card]].
*Clicking on some of the band names takes you to their websites.
*The "exit" button links to only [[Main Page 7]].

Podstar Runner 2008

Privatedrew — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 06:34:30 GMT

Privatedrew: /* Downloadable Emails */ Spelling, folks.

[[Image:Podstar.PNG|thumb|"What am I doing in this tiny box?"]]
'''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of [[Strong Bad Emails]] transferable to a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] [[Wikipedia:IPod|iPod]], in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. Currently, it features the emails [[techno]], [[dragon]], [[japanese cartoon]], [[kids' book]], [[bottom 10]], [[crying]], and [[caffeine]], although it promises to feature more in the future.

'''Places:''' [[iPod Menu]]

'''Page Title:''' Podstar Runner, Come On And Come On, Y'all

'''Release Date:''' January 30th, 2006

==Transcript==

''{The Homestar Runner head from the spoof on Apple's "Think different" campaign appears. After a few seconds, the iPod menu appears and scrolls down to the bottom.}''

''{The selected email plays.}''

''{After the email has played, the screen cuts back to the "iPod menu". After a second, Strong Bad's head pops into view}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what am I doing in this tiny box? ''{starts banging his head and hands on the screen}'' Let me! Outta the! Tiny! Box!

''{The screen appears to shatter, with a shattering sound effect.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoops. Hope you got the extended warranty.

''{The shattered screen crackles, and goes black.}''

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:SBEmail in iTunes 2.PNG|thumb|Podstar Runner podcast]]
===Trivia===
*The label on the floppy disk is unreadable, but there are [[Floppy Disk Container#podstar floppy|several possibilities]].
*The first podcast, "Homestar Runner", is in the top 100 comedy podcasts.
** The highest it has ever gotten is #23, on 13 February, 2006.

===Remarks===

*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the Easter eggs from the original versions are present.
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!". This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcasted through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6th, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast.
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to regular email level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]] . There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies.
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up - incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
*The filename for dragon is "[[Trogdor|trogdor]]", not "dragon".

===Goofs===

*While the iPod in the background is meant to be a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] model, the headphone port is placed in the top centre of the device like a fourth generation's, rather than at the top right.
*When the email ends and returns to the animated iPod menu, "Homestarrunner.com" is highlighted. However, the animated menu at the beginning of the email has "Email" selected. The iPod's memory should keep the selection where it was when you left it, not move back to the top.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Two podcasts.PNG|thumb|Two podcasts]]
*Due to the use of [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]] in the navbar, clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page used to take you to a nonexistent page beginning with ''<nowiki>http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/</nowiki>'', with the [[Store]] being the only exception. The links have since been fixed, so the paths now direct you back to a page on www.homestarrunner.com.
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
*There are actually two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong Bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps". The podcast by The Brothers Chaps seems to be the official one, because it includes the newly-released podstar email "caffeine". Noticeably different is the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast.

===Inside References===

*The page title refers to the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] of [[rampage]].

Lappy 486

Privatedrew — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 18:07:49 GMT

Privatedrew: Good image, just moved it to the FEATURES section.

[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|right|thumb|The Lappy 486.]]

The '''Lappy 486''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s third and current computer, and is manufactured by [[Compy, Inc]]. It utilizes a more modern email client which includes a subject line, a reply panel, and the following easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. (Delete, Save, Computer, and Image are hidden by Strong Bad's head.) However, all of it disappears when Strong Bad clears the screen to continue typing.

Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy." His attempt to repeat it is quite out of tune.
Also see [[Female Lappy 486]].

Unlike the [[Compy 386]] and the [[Tandy 400]], no emails have been [[DELETED]] on this computer yet, although it can flash a DO OVER!! screen with an explosion effect.

==Quick Facts==
===Debut===
First seen in [[Strong Bad Email]] 119, "[[animal]]." First mentioned by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the "[[invisibility]]" [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary.

===Features===
[[Image:Lappy logo.PNG|right|thumb|The Lappy's logo.]]
[[Image:lappyemail.png|right|thumb|Lappy 486's email client]]
[[Image:486back.PNG|right|thumb|The back of the Lappy 486 from [[part-time job]].]]
[[Image:Strong Bad Email 119.png|right|thumb|Features of the Lappy 486.]]
:*42 pounds!! ("Extremely portable", according to Strong Bad)
:*2MB Hard Drive!
:*"Several" Color Monitor
:*Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in [[part-time job]])
:*512K RAM
:*"Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy

===Screen Ratio===
The Lappy's [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] is 1.67:1 (width:height) or 5:3, as opposed to a normal screen of 1.3:1 (4:3), a high-definition screen of 1.78:1 (16:9), and a widescreen of 1.85:1.

===Interactive Feature===
Clicking on the Lappy's screen simulates the effect seen on laptop LCDs: applied force moves the liquid inside (a Liquid Crystal Display), causing a "wave" of distorted colors. Whenever the Lappy 486 is seen in a new email or toon, when you click on the screen to get the effect that is similar on most LCD flat panel monitors. The circle you get matches the color of what is in the reflection (i.e. Red for Strong Bad's head, green for Strong Bad's eyes, etc.), but after a few days or so, the circle is always white. This is also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons besides the Polish [[Block]].

===Colors===
So far, the "Several" Color Monitor refered to in the email "animal" has proved to be 18:
:*'''Black:''' background color
:*'''White:''' text
:*'''Blue:''' email client title bar, shortcut keys, and mousing over emails on the menu
:*'''Magenta:''' (pink) Lappy 486 logo
:*'''Dark Magenta:''' Lappy 486 Logo (look closely)
:*'''Cyan:''' (aqua) Lappy 486 logo
:*'''Dark Cyan:''' Lappy 486 Logo (look closely)
:*'''Yellow:''' Lappy 486 logo.
:*'''Dark Yellow:''' Lappy 486 Logo (look closely)
:*'''Gold:''' Encore easter egg in the email [[rock opera]]
:*'''Puke Green:''' "bread sing-alongs" in the email [[origins]]
:*'''Red:''' new emails, [[do over]]
:*'''Peach:''' the face of [[Edga Jr.]]
:*'''Orange:''' the hair of Edga Jr.
:*'''Sky blue:''' the shirt of Edga Jr.
:*'''Grey:''' Scrollbar color, Edga Jr. picture table outline
:*'''Salmon:''' The words 'a girl', 'really', and 'relatively' in [[bottom 10]]
:*'''Dark Green:''' the "d-e" words in [[death metal]]

===The Real Computer===
The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.

The Lappy seems to be inspired by the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1005 Mac Portable], a 16-pound transportable Macintosh that sold poorly.

===Font===
The Lappy 486's [[Fonts|font]] is called "Glitch0."

The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.

The Lappy seems to be inspired by the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1005 Mac Portable], a 16-pound transportable Macintosh that sold poorly.

Lappy 486

Privatedrew — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 19:38:20 GMT

Privatedrew: A little sentence reworking in the intro paragraph.

[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|right|thumb|The Lappy 486.]]

The '''Lappy 486''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s third and current computer, and is manufactured by [[Compy, Inc]]. It utilizes a more modern email client which includes a subject line, a reply panel, and the following easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. (Delete, Save, Computer, and Image are hidden by Strong Bad's head.) However, all of it disappears when Strong Bad clears the screen to continue typing.

Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy." His attempt to repeat it is quite out of tune.
Also see [[Female Lappy 486]].

Unlike the [[Compy 386]] and the [[Tandy 400]], no emails have been [[DELETED]] on this computer yet, although it can flash a DO OVER!! screen with an explosion effect.
[[Image:486back.PNG|right|thumb|The back of the Lappy 486 from [[part-time job]].]]

==Quick Facts==
===Debut===
First seen in [[Strong Bad Email]] 119, "[[animal]]." First mentioned by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the "[[invisibility]]" [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary.

===Features===
[[Image:Lappy logo.PNG|right|thumb|The Lappy's logo.]]
:*42 pounds!! ("Extremely portable", according to Strong Bad)
:*2MB Hard Drive!
:*"Several" Color Monitor
:*Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in [[part-time job]])
:*512K RAM
:*"Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy

===Screen Ratio===
The Lappy's [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] is 1.67:1 (width:height) or 5:3, as opposed to a normal screen of 1.3:1 (4:3), a high-definition screen of 1.78:1 (16:9), and a widescreen of 1.85:1.

===Interactive Feature===
Clicking on the Lappy's screen simulates the effect seen on laptop LCDs: applied force moves the liquid inside (a Liquid Crystal Display), causing a "wave" of distorted colors. Whenever the Lappy 486 is seen in a new email or toon, when you click on the screen to get the effect that is similar on most LCD flat panel monitors. The circle you get matches the color of what is in the reflection (i.e. Red for Strong Bad's head, green for Strong Bad's eyes, etc.), but after a few days or so, the circle is always white. This is also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons besides the Polish [[Block]].
