Hello! I am PsychicRadroach. I am 13 (at the time of this edit).

My name, much like [[Strong Bad]]'s age, is a closely guarded secret (unless you check my history page *sigh*). Unfortunately, there is no crustly guarded bread. I prolly won't do much major writing here, just some edits here and there. As one of the members of the newest wave of HR fans, I hope I will be able to provide a perspective closer to the younger end of the demographic.

Member since: [[videography]]

HRWiki Member since: [[sbemail206]]

Enjoys: Staying at home doing nothing, reading, and grammar (more than humanly probable)

Favorite 'toon: either sbemail [[the bird]] or [[Hremail 7]]

You can ask me any questions that you want. Just be warned, if you email me asking "How can you be 13 on the intenret and spel corectly?" I will have your email...DELETED!

Hi Strong Bad<br>
Dad's Garage is going through a major transition right now<br>
and it's hitting us hard in the ol' pocket book. So we're<br>
having a fundraiser to try to keep the ship afloat. Would<br>
you like to contribute something as a part of the evening?<br>
Thanks for considering!<br>

''{After reading "pocket book", Strong Bad interrupts}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{surprised}'' What-what-''whaaaat?''

''{Cut to Strong Badia, where a piece of paper held by The Cheat, reading "Breaking News", appears in front of the camera, eventually being taken out of frame, revealing Strong Bad in front of the fence.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': This just in. Apparently, improvisational comedy is not ''{Strong Bad slams his gloves on the box in front of him and jolts a bit forward}'' the money-making juggernaut it was in the mid-to-late 1994's. ''{Strong Bad puts his glove near his ear as if he was listening to an earpiece}'' Oh wait, I'm getting an update. It never was.

''{Cut back to the Lappy in the Computer Room}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Continuing.

''{Strong Bad finishes reading the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Sure Cagey veteran. I'll contribute something. But not to help keep the ship afloat. No no, I'm gonna torpedo the crap outta the SS. Dad's Garage and send it to a watery comedy grave. Whittling down from my list of 500, here are the couple few worst things wrong with improv.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hey Strong Bad, ''{Cut to wide shot of the computer room, revealing Homestar Runner on the right}'' I'm prov.

'''STRONG BAD''': Ert-you're what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'm prov! Are you prov? I mean, do you prov? Do you prov with me?

'''STRONG BAD''': Prov with you? Hmm, you know what Homestar? I bet doing some improv with you will perfectly illustrate my point. Torpedos away, and welcome everyone to...

''{Cut to title card reading "BARON LAFFMUNCH AND THEM SCROUNGLINGS"}''

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Baron Laffmunch and Them Scrounglings!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner on a stage. Strong Bad is wearing a shirt with the words "Improv" on it and Homestar Runner is a wearing a shirt with a hand pointing left and the text "I'M WITH PROV"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hey hey!

'''STRONG BAD''': Alright!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Alright, folks. Welcome to tonight's improv-able adventure. I hope you all have enough to drink tonight to sound easy and funny!

'''STRONG BAD''': Oooh. And since we're not creative enough on our own, how about a little help from the audience? Can we get a... historical figure, a European landmark, and a ''dance move? What?''

'''COACH Z''': Ooh ooh ooh! ''{Cut to Coach Z in the audience stand}'' Karl Malone, Karl The Mail Man Malone, and Karl Malorn!

''{An overlay comes down with the title "The Couple Few Worst Things Wrong With Improv" and the first example reads "1. Audience Participation"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Audience Participation. Which genius' idea was that? You ''see'' the kind of people that go to improv shows?

''{The overlays goes back up and the shot pans quickly to the right to show Homsar sitting to the right of Coach Z}''

'''HOMSAR''': AAAaaaAA-itchy parts for five hundred, please, Valerie!

''{Cut back to the stage}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Uh, yeah, okay, uh, some great suggestions there. I'm pretty sure I heard somebody yell "Abraham Lincoln, The Louvre, and the moonwalk". We gonna prov this mother out in 3... 2... 1!

''{Fade to black and back as Homestar Runner faces right and starts making noises and tilting his body forwards and backwards.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''Zoop-voop-pkoo-voo-kkkkk''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ooh boy, this is gonna be difficult.

''{The overlay comes down once again with an addition, "2. Pantomime"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Now I don't know the exact definition of the word Pantomime, but I can only assume the prefix "Panto" means "Add Terrible Sound Effects To".

''{The overlay goes back up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Kkkk. Four score, four score, I say, four score.

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, hey there Honest Abe! I see you're... changing a diaper?

''{Homestar Runner turns around to face Strong Bad, looking irritated}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I'm saying ''the chunk'', not ''cha-thunk''. Come on!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''Ohhhhh,'' you're dissecting a goat's brain!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Finally! Four score, I'm afraid this goat's brain was filled with... th-... the moonwalk.

''{Homestar Runner starts humming "Smooth Criminal" while moonwalking back and forth.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So ''that's'' how the Civil War started.

''{Strong Sad creeps behind Strong Bad behind the left curtain}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Pssst! ''{taps Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': What-why are you tapping me?

'''STRONG SAD''': I'm tagging myself in! I'm a part of the improv troupeé!

'''STRONG BAD''': It's just troupe! You know, not every word has some dumb French pronunciation.

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh, touché!

''{The overlay comes back down with an addition, "3. Scene Killer"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': The scene killer. Every improv theater has one. ''{The word "Killer" turns into a person and begins to hit the word "Scene"}'' This guy will creep up on your scene and murder it in its sleep.

''{Cut to Strong Sad next to Homestar Runner, who is moonwalking before stopping next to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh hello, Mr. Great Emancipator. You think you're funny?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{looking worried}'' Uhm, yeah. Yes, I-I do.

'''STRONG SAD''': Yeah? Well, you think it's funny how the Emancipation Proclamation only freed Southern Slaves and left nearly 300,000 Northern slaves in bondage?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Uuuuuuhhmm... Improv?

''{The overlay comes back down}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ouch, nerd. But don't worry, there's a tried and true method for neutralizing the scene killer.

''{Homestar Runner pops up from below in front of the overlay}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Improvised Rap Song! ''{cheering in background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{rapping}'' I said four score, a-four-four score. I've got four score years and several more! Am I gonna free the slaves? Oh yeah, for sure! I've got four score and several more! And now I'd like to pass the mic, to Strong Sad, come on, do what ya like!

'''STRONG SAD''': Uuuhhmm... ooohhh... no game... I've got no game at all... Wahhhhh! ''{Strong Sad runs left offscreen behind the curtain and crashes}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad typing on the Lappy in the computer room}''

'''STRONG BAD''': And by far my least favorite thing about improv, is that these people don't know when to end the scene. I mean, they just let it go on and on. And after that, '''on'''. And they make the same jokes ''over'' and ''over''. ''{The overlay comes down with an addition "4. Neverending Scenes"}'' and over. ''{The overlay quickly goes back up, but coming back down again}'' Again. And you're sitting there like, "Come on". ''{The overlay comes down again, but coming back up}'' No one's laughing! ''{The overlay comes down half-way, as if it were hesitant}'' End it already! ''{The overlay shifts down a bit}'' Put it out of its misery! ''{The overlay shifts down a bit}'' Someone-

''{Cut to Homestar Runner humming "Smooth Criminal" while doing the moonwalk by himself on the stage}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down reading "The End"}''

==Transcript==

''{A close-up of a bulletin board appears and remains for the entirety of the cartoon. A Limozeen poster, an advertisement for battle axe lessons, and a couple business cards are pinned to the board behind a large notice for Strong Bad's missing Lappy 486 computer. The notice also requests inquiries from guitarists.}''

''{A touch-tone telephone is heard dialing. The telephone line rings and Strong Bad's answering machine picks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you for calling attractive Strong Bad. If you have any information regarding my missing and full-on favorite fold-em-up computer, please leave your name and number. And if you have any hot lixx, please shred them after the tone.

''{The answering machine beeps}''

'''CALLER WITH A DEEP, SEEMINGLY DISGUISED VOICE:''' Hello, Strong Bad. I'm waiting for you—

''{The caller coughs, and begins speaking in normal voice. He is revealed to be Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —Oh, excuse me! I had one of those spit bubbles stuck in my throat. Anyways, I'm waiting for you here at the bus station. I just got back from my trip to the Regrettable History Museum. And you were supposed to pick me up... 3 days ago! I guess I'll just be waitin' for you here at the staysh. Listen to me: I've been here so long I'm on a nickname basis with the bus station.

''{The answering machine beeps}''

''{a distorted guitar plays clumsy licks, ending in a downward slide}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ow! In case your mind wasn't totally blown by that blathering solo, my name's "Furious Fingers", from Los Angeles. I'm from L.A.! I own seventeen guitars, with a combined total of forty-three necks. I can provide my own leather pants, and a really cool castle where we can shoot all our videos. Oh, and I also did not eat your laptop computer. Gimme a call. "Furious Fingers", "ow", "leather pants", "from L.A."

''{The answering machine beeps}''

'''CALLER WHO SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE [[Marzipan|MARZIPAN]]:''' Hi, Strong Bad. This is your next-door neighbor the crocodile. Can I borrow a cup of sugar? I'm going to make some puppy-dough cookies tonight—

''{The caller coughs, switches to his own voice, and coughs again. He is revealed to be Homestar Runner.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Ooh! Got a spit bubble stuck in my throat. Anyway, Strong Bad, I was serious about the sugar. And... the crocodile thing.

''{The answering machine beeps}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Museum of regrettable history.png|thumb|"A Trip to the Moon?"]]
*When Strong Sad says "Regrettable History Museum", click on the picture of the Lappy to see a [[postcard]] from the museum.
*At the end, click on the yellow paper showing the left half of Dolph Hauldhagen to hear his answering machine recording.

:'''DOLPH HAULDHAGEN:''' Thank you for calling Dolph Hauldhagen, the Instruc-TOR. How many times a day do you ask yourself, "Why do I suck?" I firmly believe that with my battle axe lessons, we can cut that down to two or three. Meet me Wednesday nights at 6pm in Monty Gym. Oh, and leave your axe in your car until the Pilates class is over. Man, those chicks scare easy.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*This toon was released one week following the Strong Bad Email [[cliffhangers]], when the Lappy was stolen.
*"Puppy-dough cookies" refer to [[Wikipedia:Hushpuppy|hushpuppies]], deep-fried balls of cornmeal, which are mentioned frequently in [[retirement]].
*[[Wikipedia:Pilates|Pilates]] is a physical exercise program.

===Remarks===
*This toon [[Toons Without Back Buttons|doesn't have any "Back" button]] at the end.
*Despite his message stating that his class is on Wednesday evenings at 6pm, Dolph's flyer in the toon still reads "Sat. 6am-9am" as it did in the email [[other days]].
*The King of Town doesn't have any [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible fingers]], making "Furious Fingers" an interesting choice for his musical pseudonym.
*The average number of necks per guitar in the King of Town's collection is about two and one half necks.
*Strong Sad remarks that Strong Bad was supposed to pick him up three days ago, but he (Strong Sad) "just got back" from his trip.
**Also, Strong Bad [[car|"doesn't have a car"]], so it's not clear how he could pick up Strong Sad anyway.
*This toon cannot be found on the [[Toons]] page as most other "recently added" toons can at the time of their release. The only link to this toon was in the [[Main Page Messages]], and currently there are [[Secret Pages|no pages on the site which link to it]].
*This is another instance of a [[Gibson Flying V]].
*A "spit bubble" lowered the pitch of Strong Sad's voice, yet it raised the pitch of Homestar's.

===Inside References===
*The [[Limozeen]] poster is from the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD booklet.
**It features a reappearance of the [[Donnie Chapman]] photographs from [[monster truck]].
*The poster in the top right corner with "Wednesday" on it is also featured on the CD booklet. It advertises "Strong Bad live in [[West Rekjavik]]".
*The postcard in the Easter Egg is another reference to [[The Moon]].
*The leftmost tab on the missing Lappy flyer reads "strond bad", which was spelled that way in [[lunch special]] and [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*The King of Town's guitar-playing abilities were first introduced in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]], in which he "plays guitar, apparently".
*The King of Town mentions [[pants]].
*Both Strong Sad and Homestar had a spit bubble caught in their throats, which is a similar scenario to when [[Marshie]] got a toenail caught in his throat in [[Malloween Commercial]].
*[[Coach Z]] has also had his voice distorted twice, during a confession in [[couch patch]] and as an eyewitness during an interview in [[myths & legends#Easter Eggs|myths & legends]].

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:A Trip to the Moon|A Trip to the Moon]]'' was a groundbreaking 1902 silent film by filmmaker and illusionist George Méliès.
*The "next-door neighbor the crocodile" is a recurring character in the syndicated comic strip ''[[Wikipedia:Pearls Before Swine (comic strip)|Pearls Before Swine]]''.

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Lappy 486#Lappy-napping|Lappy-napped saga]] was concluded the following week in [[retirement]].
*The convention of [[Words with Omitted Syllables|shortening of "-ation" to "-aysh"]] was also used by Homestar in [[Hremail 62]].
*The King of Town would play guitar for Strong Bad's band, [[DÖI]], in [[Baddest of the Bands]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Dolph Hauldhagen Easter Egg plays automatically.

PsychicRadroach: /* I'm a song from the huddled mass. */ summer break is here! in some of the world....

== I'm a song from the huddled mass. ==

This might not be a strong enough connection to actually put on the page, so I wanted to get people's input first. The cadence and tone of the line "I'm a huddled mass" very much reminded me of the way Strong Bad delivered Homsar's lines during the fake interview in [[interview]]. Anyone else think so? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:44, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
:I can't really see the resemblance, and really, a non-sequitur sentence doesn't really correlate to Homsar. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
::I said "cadence and tone" not "it happens to be a non-sequitur". And in any case, if "a non-sequitur sentence doesn't really correlate to Homsar", then "a guy who spends a bunch of time editing a wiki about dumb animal characters when he really ought to be doing other things" doesn't correlate to me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
:::"A guy who goes into great detail to pick apart every piece and reference of a cratoon of dumb animal characters instead of typing other stuff in order to pay for his food, shelter, and other goods and services that are necessary to his lifestyle." is pretty much every user here. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:38, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
::::Nah, you've also got "A kid who goes into great detail to pick apart every piece and reference of a cratoon of dumb animal characters instead of doing his homework so that he can learn what he needs to to one day pay for his food, shelter, and other goods and services that are necessary to his lifestyle." {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Strong Sad's Death

PsychicRadroach — Sun, 31 May 2015 02:34:56 GMT

PsychicRadroach: /* Appearances */ we all know he's not referring to stlong mad.

[[Image:imagend dead ss.png|thumb|If only he were still with us.]]
Aside from the usual instances of [[death]], [[Strong Sad]] is often spoken about by other characters as if he is already dead.

==Appearances==
*Email [[fingers]]— The viewer can see a dead Strong Sad behind the couch in one scene. Also during this sequence, two Easter eggs show Strong Sad stuffed inside a [[Coach Z's Locker Room|locker]] and a [[soapbox]].
*Email [[personal favorites]] — Strong Bad types "I swear on Strong Sad's grave" in the unaired email "[[Tape Leg]] 2".
*Email [[impression]] — In complimenting The Cheat's costume, Coach Z says "It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today!"
*Email [[caffeine]] — Strong Bad concludes that his "test subject" is dead (which Strong Sad immediately denies).
*Email [[virus]] — Though not a direct reference, when Strong Bad laments the [[Compy]]'s death, he shouts: "You killed my brother! ... I mean computer!" However, he may have been referring to Strong Mad, or the extreme love and closeness he had with his computer.
*Email [[myths & legends]] — Strong Bad refers to Strong Sad as "the elephant-footed ghost-man".
*Email [[retirement]] — "Strong Sad's ghost" and "Strong Sad's corpse" are among the entries in Strong Bad's Cloud Shape Spotting Log, as seen in an Easter egg.
*[[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] — Strong Bad refers to Strong Sad as "the ghost of Christmas suck".
*[[Somber Vacation]] — Strong Sad sculpts a sand headstone and grave for himself, with a single rose on top, and buries himself.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — On finding the Total Load in Pom Pom's locker, Coach Z may exclaim "Great Strong Sad's Ghost!"
*[[Most in the Graveyard]] — When noted that Strong Sad doesn't show up in photos, he claims joyfully that he might have finally willed himself to death.
*[[Compy Catalog]] — Strong Sad's funeral is included in the list of great things Strong Bad says receiving the Catalog in the mail is like.
*[[Make a Scene with Telltale at PAX 2010]] — Strong Sad is dead due to excessive [[blood]] loss.

=New Homestar Runner Wikis!=
I really don't think these should all be here. I felt like it was a lot of fun just adding to the template whatever and it being awesome and having the allure of temporary-ness
of chalkboards in frozen yogurt places. What I'm trying to say is, as much as I love my beloved czwiki.egg, I thing these should be deleted so I can add another totally HILARIOUS passage on the fake updates page about Matt's sandwich. Delete this when something has been changed about these pages. I'm too lazy and too nice to do it myself. [[User:PsychicRadroach|El Psychic Der Radroach]] 02:31, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Mountain Dew

PsychicRadroach — Thu, 28 May 2015 13:44:42 GMT

PsychicRadroach: /* Appearances */ I know it's a page title, but that's no excuse for poor capitalization!

[[Image:Mountain Dew.png|frame|"This thing's like... the never-ending soda."]]
[[Homestar Runner]] regularly possesses and presumably consumes '''[[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]]''', a carbonated beverage notoriously known (in the U.S. versions at least) for its high caffeine content. Although this real-world soda is distributed in several flavors, its appearance in the [[Homestar Runner universe]] is limited to "allegedly citrus" flavor. It is also interesting to note that while Mountain Dew is bright yellow in real life (in a green bottle), it is always green in the Homestar Runner cartoons. It should also be noticed that it always has the old logo, not the new, edgier one.

==Appearances==
*[[Main Page 5]] — When the cursor is placed over the "[[Character Videos|Characters]]" button, the drink dispenser pours out a green Mountain Dew-like soda.
*Email [[techno]] — [[Strong Bad]] tells [[The Cheat]] to break a [[The Cheat's Glowsticks|glowstick]] open and pour it into Homestar's Mountain Dew.
*Email [[anything]] — Homestar instructs viewers on how to "make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer". He does this by applying Mountain Dew "liberally" onto the [[Compy 386]]'s keyboard. The flow of the liquid is apparently "never-ending," as Homestar says fifteen seconds after the end of the email.
*Email [[couch patch]] — Homestar alludes to the above appearance by responding to [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head exploding]], "Dang, The Cheat. That computer's got something against you. Did you ever, like, pour Mountain Dew all over it?"
*[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Three]] — In the main menu, a bottle of Mountain Dew is shown lying on its side, leaking onto the computer desk.
*Email [[extra plug]] — Homestar brings a bottle of Mountain Dew in a bucket of popcorn when he comes over to the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] to watch a picture of [[Wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]] taped to the TV.
*Email [[retirement]] — Homestar helps put the [[Tandy 400]] to rest by filling it with Mountain Dew, which, combined with [[The King of Town]]'s [[Oh No You Dent! Denture Tablets|denture tablets]], results in a bad graphics nuclear [[explosion]].
*[[DNA Evidence]] — Homestar mistakes a glass of [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]] for Mountain Dew, and drinks it, but immediately spits it out. He pronounces it as "Mountain Dwah", and when he spits it out, says it tasted like "Dwah-Dwah".
*Email [[the paper]] — Homestar names Mountain Dew, along with similar real life brands of citrus-style soda, trying to find one that [[The Paper]] will let him pour on the [[Lappy 486]].
*[[Everything Else, Volume 3]] — Homestar jumps over a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew on the Toons menu of the DVD.
*Email [[email thunder]] — Strong Bad pours an enormous bottle of Mountain Dew onto [[Happy 8600]], causing it to spark (which eventually causes The Paper to catch fire).
*[[Punkin Show]] — Homestar says "Without further Mountain Dew" when introducing [[The Show]].

''{Strong Bad walks up to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey. ''{angrier}'' Hey.

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{waking up abruptly}'' Look out Julian Ca-sa-blanc-as!

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey Stankle. Did you sleep here last night?

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh yeah. I wanted to be first in line for Record Store Day. ''{Pats his belly}'' Sloshy's releasing an obscure 7-inch.

'''STRONG BAD''': But aren't ''all'' of Sloshy's releases obscure? As in, they make enough copies for themselves and their girlfriends, knowing full well that their girlfriends are going to throw them away?

'''STRONG SAD''': And I creep them out of the trash! ''{holds up record titled "Girlfriend Haircut" covered in mud and with a banana peel on it]''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ah, that sounds like you. All Limozeen's doin' for Record Store Day is releasing a Cassette Maxi Single of their 7th Final Reunion Tour Brunch.

'''BUBS''': Here ya go, Strong Sad. That'll be $400.

'''STRONG SAD''': Ooh, on sale even! ''{turns around to face Strong Bad}'' Check it out, it's a B-side only.

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad viewing the record with both of his hands}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So, the A-side's just blank?

'''STRONG SAD''': Not even!

''{Strong Sad turns the record over to have the record be nearly-fully transparent}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Woah!

'''STRONG SAD''': It's pressed on 180-gram two-dimensional vinyl!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{rubbing his chin}'' Really? Swipey Town!

''{Strong Bad jumps over to Strong Sad and punches down the Vinyl as we hear it shatter on the grass}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh! Where'd it go? ''{Looking down frantically}'' I can't see it!

'''STRONG BAD''': Rwah-ha-ha-ha! ''{Strong Bad walks away}'' Music nerd! How's that for obscure?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[wikipedia:Record Store Day|Record Store Day]] is a real holiday celebrated on the third Saturday of April to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. Some records are made specifically for Record Store Day and distributed to stores celebrating the holiday.
*"180-gram vinyl" refers to modern [[Wikipedia:Gramophone Record|gramophone record]] releases, which are often pressed on heavier vinyl (usually weighing 180 grams) as they provide higher quality sound and are less prone to deformation.
*Many seven-inch [[Wikipedia:Single (music)|vinyl singles]] are to be played back at 45 [[Wikipedia:Revolutions per minute|revolutions per minute]].

===Trivia===
*This is the first toon since [[Xeriouxly Forxe]] to lack an Easter egg.
*This toon was released on the same day as The Cheat's [[cheatday]] (at least according to his fake ID).
* This is the first toon since [[Decomposing Pumpkins]] not to include [[Homestar Runner]].
*A [https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/sloshy-record-store-day-shirt?variant=1318427592 Sloshy Record Store Day shirt] became available on the [[Store]] with this toon's release. In addition, a [https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/sloshy-shirt?variant=1321878572 Sloshy shirt] that was sold in 2007 was reintroduced.

===Remarks===
*This is the fifth toon in a row to not have a back button.
*The poster that appears at "This part has piano" is in [[German]], and means "Live at the Angry Kebab Shop. Wednesday, November 17 at 9:30."
*The poster that appears at the "Of the in-store. Yeah!" is in [[Wikipedia:Swedish language|Swedish]] and literally means "Performing live in Jukasjaarvi at the score's honorary ballroom - 10:00".
*Both the German and Swedish posters use the 12-hour format, uncommon in Continental Europe, as it's more common for concerts to be in the evening. This means that the posters would say, respectively, 21:30 and 22:00.
*The Japanese sticker on the cover for "All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" literally means "DVD release on August 5th".
**The cover's title contains [[Deliberately Poor English|poor English]].
*In the Flash version, the words "Than Thou Records" on Strong Sad's record and on one of the album covers can be highlighted using the cursor.
*Bubsmoeba being a portmanteau of "Bubs" and "amoeba" may be a reference to [[highschool]], in which his paramecium form resembles an amoeba. 

===Goofs===
*After Strong Bad asks about Sloshy's releases, his arm instantly returns to a resting position.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad's line "Look out, Julian Casablancas!" is a variation of a line from [[haircut]], in which he says "Watch out, Julian Sands!"
*"Coolier Than Thou Records" is a reference to the shirt that [[Cheerleader]] wore in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], which read "coolier than thou".
*"Limozeen: But They're At Brunch" is a reference to [[Limozeen: But They're In Space!]]
*The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] preview is taken directly from [[concert]]. The background behind Strong Sad is [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]], and it can be seen by opening the [[HR:menuswfs/menu_recordstoreday.swf|Flash file]] itself.
*In this toon, both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] smile.
*Bubsmoeba is a [[portmanteau]].
*The electronic voice near the end of the sloshy song is similar to the one in Smart Drinks, from [[nightlife]].

===Real-World References===
*"Bubsmoeba Rekkids" could be a play on either [[Wikipedia:Amoeba Music|Amoeba Music]] or [[Wikipedia:Amoeba Records|Amoeba Records]], an independent chain of record stores situated in California.
*[[wikipedia:Julian Casablancas|Julian Casablancas]] is the lead singer of indie garage rock band [[wikipedia:The Strokes|The Strokes]].
*[[wikipedia:Stereogum|Stereogum]] is an online indie music magazine.
*"Stere-ereo" is a reference to the lyrics of the song "The Move", the second track off the 1998 album [[Wikipedia:Hello Nasty|Hello Nasty]] by the rap group [[Wikipedia:Beastie Boys|Beastie Boys]].
*"All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" references [[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties|All Tomorrow's Parties]], a song by [[wikipedia:The Velvet Underground|The Velvet Underground]]. The song's name was also used as the title for [[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)|a music festival]] that focuses on non-traditional rock music.
*"The B-est of B-Sides" is possibly a play on the [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]] compilation, [[Wikipedia: Best of the 'B' Sides|Best of the 'B' Sides]].

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] version is titled "Record Store Day b/w B-est of B-sides".
**[[B/W]] (Backed With) is a major term for the other side of a record, mostly for singles with the B-side being the B/W.
*There are no [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|fake thumbnails]] at the end, possibly due to there being no Easter eggs.

'''STRONG SAD''': Ooh, on sale even! ''{turns around to face Strong Bad}'' Check it out, it's a B-side only.

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad viewing the record with both of his hands}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So, the A-side's just blank?

'''STRONG SAD''': Not even!

''{Strong Sad turns the record over to have the record be nearly-fully transparent}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Woah!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{rubbing his chin}'' Really? Swipey Town!

''{Strong Bad jumps over to Strong Sad and punches down the Vinyl as we hear it shatter on the grass}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[wikipedia:Record Store Day|Record Store Day]] is a real holiday celebrated on the third Saturday of April to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. Some records are made specifically for Record Store Day and distributed to stores celebrating the holiday.
*"180-gram vinyl" refers to modern [[Wikipedia:Gramophone Record|gramophone record]] releases, which are often pressed on heavier vinyl (usually weighing 180 grams) as they provide higher quality sound and are less prone to deformation.
*Many seven-inch [[Wikipedia:Single (music)|vinyl singles]] are to be played back at 45 [[Wikipedia:Revolutions per minute|revolutions per minute]].

===Trivia===
*This is the first toon since [[Xeriouxly Forxe]] to lack an Easter egg.
*This toon was released on the same day as The Cheat's [[cheatday]] (at least according to his fake ID).
* This is the first toon since [[Decomposing Pumpkins]] not to include [[Homestar Runner]].
*A [https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/sloshy-record-store-day-shirt?variant=1318427592 Sloshy Record Store Day shirt] became available on the [[Store]] with this toon's release. In addition, a [https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/sloshy-shirt?variant=1321878572 Sloshy shirt] that was sold in 2007 was reintroduced.

===Remarks===
*This is the fifth toon in a row to not have a back button.
*The poster that appears at "This part has piano" is in [[German]], and means "Live at the Angry Kebab Shop. Wednesday, November 17 at 9:30."
*The poster that appears at the "Of the in-store. Yeah!" is in [[Wikipedia:Swedish language|Swedish]] and literally means "Performing live in Jukasjaarvi at the score's honorary ballroom - 10:00".
*Both the German and Swedish posters use the 12-hour format, uncommon in Continental Europe, as it's more common for concerts to be in the evening. This means that the posters would say, respectively, 21:30 and 22:00.
*The Japanese sticker on the cover for "All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" literally means "DVD release on August 5th".
**The cover's title contains [[Deliberately Poor English|poor English]].
*In the Flash version, the words "Than Thou Records" on Strong Sad's record and on one of the album covers can be highlighted using the cursor.
*Bubsmoeba being a portmanteau of "Bubs" and "amoeba" may be a reference to [[highschool]], in which his paramecium form resembles an amoeba. 

===Goofs===
*After Strong Bad asks about Sloshy's releases, his arm instantly returns to a resting position.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad's line "Look out, Julian Casablancas!" is a variation of a line from [[haircut]], in which he says "Watch out, Julian Sands!"
*"Coolier Than Thou Records" is a reference to the shirt that [[Cheerleader]] wore in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], which read "coolier than thou".
*"Limozeen: But They're At Brunch" is a reference to [[Limozeen: But They're In Space!]]
*The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] preview is taken directly from [[concert]]. The background behind Strong Sad is [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]], and it can be seen by opening the [[HR:menuswfs/menu_recordstoreday.swf|Flash file]] itself.
*In this toon, both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] smile.
*Bubsmoeba is a [[portmanteau]].
*The electronic voice near the end of the sloshy song is similar to the one in Smart Drinks, from [[nightlife]].

===Real-World References===
*"Bubsmoeba Rekkids" could be a play on either independent music chain [[Wikipedia:Amoeba Music|Amoeba Music]] or [[Wikipedia:Amoeba Records|Amoeba Records]], an independent chain of record stores situated in California.
*[[wikipedia:Julian Casablancas|Julian Casablancas]] is the lead singer of indie garage rock band [[wikipedia:The Strokes|The Strokes]].
*[[wikipedia:Stereogum|Stereogum]] is an online indie music magazine.
*"Stere-ereo" is a reference to the lyrics of the song "The Move", the second track off the 1998 album [[Wikipedia:Hello Nasty|Hello Nasty]] by the rap group [[Wikipedia:Beastie Boys|Beastie Boys]].
*"All Tomorrow's Euro-Restrooms" references [[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties|All Tomorrow's Parties]], a song by [[wikipedia:The Velvet Underground|The Velvet Underground]]. The song's name was also used as the title for [[wikipedia:All Tomorrow's Parties (music festival)|a music festival]] that focuses on non-traditional rock music.
*"The B-est of B-Sides" is possibly a play on the [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]] compilation, [[Wikipedia: Best of the 'B' Sides|Best of the 'B' Sides]].

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] version is titled "Record Store Day b/w B-est of B-sides".
**[[B/W]] (Backed With) is a major term for the other side of a record, mostly for singles with the B-side being the B/W.
*There are no [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|fake thumbnails]] at the end, possibly due to there being no Easter eggs.

== Numbering the Tweets ==

So, there are many tweets and possibly more to come. However, when a tweet references some running gag in the Homestar Runner Universe, it is added to the "appearances" section of that running gag's page, but just as @StrongBadActual. Should we have some kind of numbering system for the tweets, so if the tweets repeat a joke, you can identify which tweets and referencing what joke? I feel bunching all the tweets together instead of listing them seperately makes it a bit confusing. It's like if we just put "Videlectrix" whenever the website referenced a joke. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:It would be a great idea to use ''some'' form of identifica<small><small>p</small></small>tion for each tweet. But now comes the difficult part. Is numbering adequate? For example, if we number them based on the order they are added (eg, 001, 002, 003), but we forget to list one of them (so the fifth one is written as 004 instead of 005), do we change all of the surrounding numbers (008 becomes 009 and so on) or just tack it on as an afterthought (adding 004 as 004a, for example)?
:Or, do we use the numerical identifier Twitter uses for each tweet (eg, Keyboard Strong Bad is "591293390140153856"), or the ASCII-based identifier for the shorter link to the page itself (Keyboard Strong Bad is "aRm7hX7iUC")? Should readability be important, or should it take a backseat to accuracy? And, if it should be readable, should it include the date and time, subject, accompanying toon, or any other relevant information to distinguish it from the other tweets?
:''*gasp*'' My vote is for the cells in the table to be identified by the numerical identifier, but not shown visibly and instead used to locate the cell itself in internal links. Then the textual references can be identified by date. So the link would say "Tweet from @StrongBadActual on April 23, 2015" and link to "@StrongBadActual#591293390140153856".--{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 01:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
::I think we should do the numerical identifier, but it should be listed on the @StrongBadActual page so it can easily be copy+pasted. Or, maybe a sub-page with all the identifiers. However, since the tweets are showcased in rows, how would it auto-scroll down to the correct tweet? -{{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 01:40, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:::Well, I hate to say it, but we might have to make it into a vertical list (like the YouTube Thumbnails). That format seems to work better when linking to specific information, whereas a gallery is better when that is not necessary. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 01:50, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
::::Would it be too much of a crime to give each tweet his own page? He doesn't update very often, soooooo.... yea or nay, juys? [[User:PsychicRadroach|PsychicRadroach]] 05:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

== So this may need a rename ==
The "speculations" thing is a reference to [[animal]] and I’d like to keep it if possible, though it is a bit awkward the way it appears now. Any suggestions? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
: I don't think we should be putting silly references to sbemails in our article names. This is especially true given that this article does not mention the email that the reference comes from ''at all''. It would be confusing to new readers, and doesn't look terribly professional. Sure, this is a Wiki about a cartoon full of dumb animal characters, but sometimes we need to draw the line at the silliness. So '''specifications''' all the way. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
::I agree with Jay. We know where the reference comes from, but I don't think references make good page titles. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.4.6|132.183.4.6]] 19:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Fair point... we do on occasion, but where it fits. Let me ask a different way, we don't actually have a list of technical specifications for the computers. It really IS kinda speculation about the capabilities of the computers, albeit based on their real-world equivalents. That said, i don't think that "Strong Bad's Computer Exceeding Its Technical Specifications" is the way to go either. (Not still set on keeping "speculation" in the title, just saying the proposed alternative isn't correct either.) I also think that since it's about multiple computers, the title should be pluralized. I'm thinking that it needs a concise form of "Strong Bad's computers doing more than it seems they should be able to". Maybe like "'''Strong Bad's Computers Surpassing Their Assumed Capabilities'''"? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:47, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

:::::It's not that I'm saying DeFender's suggestion is bad or anything - not at all - but you shouldn't move a page that has active discussion and no consensus. (No, this is not hypocrisy.

I believed that the current title (with "speculations") was a ''mistake'', not a deliberate reference!) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
::::::Agreed on all counts. I too saw the move as premature, despite even that it was a move to the name I suggested. All in good time. Jay, you're not saying my suggestion is bad, but you didn't give any input as to whether it's ''good'' either.

:A bit late, but the Compy is dead. As well as that, it has no "Compy 386" tag on it, so I'm going to say that it's simply a joke since Compy fits the Windows 98 operating system better than the Compe, since the Compe appears to use a more modern OS. -{{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 02:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

The MS Paint page is not simply named "Paint", so why is this page not titled "Adobe Photoshop"? And yes, while there is already a page called [[Paint]], wouldn't it make more sense to have the "Adobe" prefix since it is a trademark and also differentiates itself from the verb of "photoshopping". - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 20:22, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
:"Paint" is a word in and of itself. "Photoshop" only refers to the adobe product. Further, the act of "photoshopping" got its name for the same product, and I think that mentions of "photoshopping" DO belong on this page, and that therefore, we would specifically want it without the company name first.

Portmanteaus

PsychicRadroach — Sun, 17 May 2015 00:38:29 GMT

PsychicRadroach: /* M */ Matt's Communications

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are commonly used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. A portmanteau is a combination of two or more words to make a new word or phrase, often going against the accepted traditions of how words are compounded. The term originally referred to a man's travel bag which contained two main pockets. Portmanteaus were first given that name by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] to describe "slithy" in the poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]], a combination of "lithe" and "slimy".

[[Strong Bad]] and [[Senor Cardgage]], especially, frequently create portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

When made by Strong Bad, they are often preceded by the two words which they comprise. (e.g. "[[underlings|your smelly underling, or smunderling]]", or "[[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in his Craw|the craw object, or crawbject]]")

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

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know, it's like a rainstorm... in your browser. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: theme song</div>
Dear Super Bad,<br/>
It bugs me how your email show doesn't have a theme song.<br/>
If it did have a theme song, your show would be a whole<br/>
lot cooler.<br/>
Jonathan Shaheen<br/>
Ontario, Canada
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronouces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeeen", and lens flares and a sound effect appear over the name. He pronounces the location as "on-ta-REE-oh, cah-nah-DAH" (as though with a Mexican accent)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, a little south of the border flavor. ''{typing}'' Dear Supper Bag, It bugs ''me'' how your face doesn't have a not tons of acne. If it did have a not tons of acne, ''you'' would be a whole lot cooler.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, you don't know what you're talking about, Shaheen ''{again, Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears over the word}''  Theme songs are just an excuse for showmakers to make less show. I'm sure viewership would triple if I had one of those crappy cartoon theme songs that bludgeons you over the head with the blunt end of the show's premise.

''{Theme song music fades in over his last words. Cut to a smiling Strong Bad prancing in the basement.}''

'''CRAPPY CARTOON THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' <br/>
Strong Bad is a wrestleman, <br/>
He's the email-checkinest guy in the land.<br/>
He checks real emails from the net,<br/>
He's got two brothers and The Cheat, his pet. The Cheat, his pet!!!<br/>

''{"STRONG BAD" appears on the screen as the name is sung. Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on. Lappy flies into the screen, showing an email from punkkid87.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email" style="background-image:none">
Dear Strong Bad,<br/>
I love your Tragdor!<br/>
Draw him AGAIN!!!<br/><br/>
-punkkid87
</blockquote>

''{Strong Mad and Strong Sad dance in Club Technochocolate as they are announced. The Cheat slides into the screen, wearing cool shades and gets a close-up with the repetition of "THE CHEAT, HIS PET!!!".}''

There's nobody dumber than Homestar Runner<br/>
On ''The Strong Bad Email Show''!

''{Homestar Runner breaks through the computer desk with a sandwich of light bulbs, opens his mouth wide, revealing large cartoon teeth, and bites into the sandwich. The title of the Strong Bad Email Show appears with Strong Bad's smiling face in front of a pink heart design.}''

''{The music ends. Cut back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the ratings have gone through the roof. And let's not forget the life-affirming pop-ballad type theme song. Probably sung by some variety of Neville.

''{Fade through black to a scene with an unattended computer desk. The title "the Strong Bad Email Show" flies onto the screen. There are flowers on the desk and pictures of The Cheat, Strong Mad and Strong Bad on the wall. The characters are introduced with their pictures flying across the screen and their names appearing across them. Strong Bad shows a shadow [[Trogdor]] to The Cheat.}''

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}''<br/>
You and me, babe, livin' for dreams,<br/>
Lifin' for love, drinkin' for free.<br/>
Sittin' on top of an old robot, sharin' and carin' it out.<br/>
The memory's scrubbing you down! ''{fades}''

''{The music fades out and a clip montage starts, as Strong Bad's voiceover begins. Strong Bad is shown drinking a mix of coffee and a "COLDSON Lite" from a novelty drinking hat in the basement with The Cheat and Strong Sad; he floats in space; he looks up from typing on his laptop and throws a stack of paper in the air.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see.

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}''<br/>
Memory scrubbing you down! ''{fade out}''

''{The final shot shows Strong Bad in a tank before the clip montage fades out to "created by Lem Sportsinterviews".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just when you think you finally get to start watching some of the actual show, now you get to watch a commercial!

''{Cut to real-life hands holding coins and peanuts.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you make butt at your current job?

''{"$BUTT" is stamped on the screen}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' Do you want to make twice butt?

''{Cut to a Cakkalate brand calculator displaying "BUTT X 2" upside-down. It rotates counterclockwise 180 degrees. Cut to the CGNU online e-niversity: "website Coming Soon(ish)!" "Check back after all the bowl games ;)".}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' A shady online degree is just four clicks away at CGNU online e-niversity.

''{Four cursors appear. Cut to a wooden wall. A set of college flags appear.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' Most colleges take four years to complete.

''{Cut to a hand with a mouse against a purple background. The hand clicks the mouse button four times, causing the words "FRESHMAN!" "SOPHOMORE!" "JUNIOR!" "SENIOR!" to appear one after the other in increasing font size.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' At CGNU, one year equals one click.

''{Cut to a mortarboard flying through the air. Cut to Senor Cardgage wearing a blue baseball cap in front of some boxes. His degrees are displayed on the screen as he moves his hand down.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I got fourteen degrees while on my lunch take. Now I can legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica.

''{Cut to a blue background repeating the word "LEGITIMATE". An "(On)line CGNU e-NIVERSITY" medallion with four cursors rolls in. The words "Join the e-NIVERSITY e-VOLUTION e-DAY" appear in a blue font as Commercial Guy 1 says them, along with "Banner ad valorum".}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Enroll now, and join the e-niversity e-volution e-day. Uh, well, today. ''{the word TODAY!!" appears over "e-DAY" in a yellow font}'' That last one didn't quite work out.

''{Fade through black to a Powered By The Cheat-style intertitle showing Strong Bad chasing his laptop.}''

'''FEMALE ANNOUNCER 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' We'll be right back with more ''Strong Bad Emails''.

''{Cut to balding man standing in front of a newspaper background.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you wanna cut your own arm off?

'''BALDING MAN:''' ''{loud, long sigh}''

''{Cut through static back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Now, don't worry. Just in case you were hoping to get gipped out of another minute of actual show, you get to hear the jazzy instrumental version over the end credits!

''{A jazzy instrumental version of the pop ballad theme song is played. Cut to Strong Bad talking into a microphone in front of Bubs' concession stand at night. End credits are shown over the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And on the off-chance that you actually wanted to hear the theme song... we've taken care of that, too.

''{A program preview with the logo for ''Three is 4 Tonite'' moves into the screen and squeezes the Strong Bad Email Show end credits into the left third of the screen. The music is faded significantly. The Action Cool News 5 logo slides in. As the announcer announces ''Three is 4 Tonite'', the faces of the four main characters appear, as well as the text "Weeknights at 7:30, 8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 11:30.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Coming up later on ''Three is 4 Tonite'': join Mandy, Brandy, Andy, and Scurge, as they learn how to give a care. But first...

''{Cut to the words "Coming Up Next..."}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' They're tiny, they're toony, they're ''all'' a little loony.

''{The graphics for the ''Cheat Commandos'' show Reynold being taped to a rocket and Fightgar checking the tape. The Cheat Commandos logo appears with the text "Weekdays at right now".}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' It's the Cheat Commandos.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see, Shaheen? ''{yet again, Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears}'' You're basically asking me to dedicate 2 minutes of my 3 to 5 minute email show, to what is essentially a commercial for something you're already watching! And besides, I give you people a new sbemail song every freakin' week. Allow me to leave you with the old standard 'When Email Comes to Town, You Know, You Know, It's Like a Rainstorm... In Your Browser.' ''{stops typing and starts singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know, it's like a rainstorm... in your browser.

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

''{Funky theme song music is played and credits scroll by, while the Powered by The Cheat show preview squeezes into the screen; A red curtain is visible with spot lights moving over it. The text "Next! All new Powered By The Cheat!!! Later... Incredibly Local News" and the Action Cool News 5 logo slide in.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{chuckles}'' Next up on ''Powered By The Cheat'': Strong Mad gets his own talk show.

''{"Strong Mad's Evening Hour" appears, followed by Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad (and his mouth and hands).}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' And his first guest is hilarity!

''{Cut to Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad sitting behind a late night talk show host desk in front of a skyline. The guest with a The Cheat face and glasses appears in his seat, wobbling, before suddenly appearing up-close to the camera, laughing and bouncing up and down for a few seconds.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the talk show guest's [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]] at the end of the email to see the Shaheen special effect.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*In the commercial for CGNU e-Niversity, the slogan "Banner ad valorum" is a play on the Latin phrase "ad valorem" meaning "according to an object's value." It is most frequently used in describing an ''ad valorem'' tax.
*The line "Check back after all the bowl games" on CGNU's website is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Bowl game|bowl games]] in American [[Wikipedia:College football|college football]].
*In the final credits, the credits for "Best Grip" and "Key Boy" are reversed versions of standard film credits [[Wikipedia:Best boy|best boy]] and [[Wikipedia:Key grip|key grip]].
*One of the degrees that CGNU e-Niversity offers is Matt's Communications, a [[portmanteau]] of [[Matt]] and [[Wikipedia:Mass communication|Mass Communications]], a degree that is offered at many colleges.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homestar has visible teeth.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#california games|california games]]".
*In the first theme song, Strong Bad is seen typing on the [[Compy 386]] keyboard, seen previously in [[fingers]].
*The credits during the second theme song read:
**starring strong bad
**strong mad
**and the cheat baxter-birney
**produced by Levert Burtmore
**casting by Tess Ballthrow
**executive producer Smarmy Cafe
**created by Lem Sportsinterviews
*The navigation buttons in the web browser showing the CGNU online e-niversity read, from left to right:

**Infotainment Technology
**e-Cutting Ones
**The Lighter Side of Sports
**[[Matt Chapman|Matt]]'s Communications

**Script Supervisor [[date|Sid Hoffrenchman]]
**This show was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
**Soundtrack available as Cheap as Free Records
*The website for CGNU (http://www.cgnuonline-eniversity.edu/) does not exist, as only actual educational institutions can register .edu addresses. However, a fan has registered http://www.cgnuonline-eniversity.com/, and recreated the page seen in the email; the list of degrees can be found by clicking on the exclamation point after "website Coming Soon(ish)"
*"We'll be right back with more Strong Bad Email" is voiced by [[Jackie Chapman]], as revealed in the DVD commentary.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed read, "Yeah, how come Strong Bad's email show doesn't have a theme song?"

===Remarks===
*"BUTT X 2" is the display on the calculator held upside down. It is not possible for most calculators to display "U" and "T" upside down (the typed numbers would have to be similar to a lowercase "N" and two "L"s back to back).
*During the Crappy Cartoon theme song, the "Trogdor" email on the Lappy is displayed with the [[font]] from the [[Compy 386]], instead of the Lappy's current font, Glitch0.
*The Cheat wears [[Cool Shades|cool shades]] during the first theme song.
*The four characters of Three is 4 Tonite all have the same faces but different hair styles that were apparently added on to the original photo.
*Even though he is the Cheat's best friend, this is the first time Strong Mad is mentioned in a Powered By The Cheat.
*If the shots in the "Neville" theme song version are from the unaired pilot it would mean that Strong Bad had the [[Lappy 486]] before he had the [[Tandy 400]].
*'Kansattica' where Senor Cardgage can legally prescribe marriages is a [[portmanteau]] of Kansas and Attica, a reference to Attica, KS, a small town in south-central Kansas about 60 miles southwest of Wichita. It may also refer to Attica, a region in Greece.

===Goofs===
[[Image:SBETheme Song Goof.PNG|thumb|Mouthless Strong Bad]]
[[Image:Sbscreen.PNG|thumb|Hilarity!]]
*There is no punctuation mark after Strong Bad types "Shaheen" for the first time.
*During the scene in the end credits with Strong Bad telling jokes, his mouth is shaped like an "O" and is covering his usually rectangle shaped mouth for one frame, giving him two mouths. Later in the same scene, his mouth disappears for one frame. This occurs another two times later on.
*Strong Bad's head pokes into the Powered By The Cheat preview when the preview squeezes into the screen.
*When Strong Bad's portrait fades in and out of the screen during the ballad theme song, parts of his mask can be seen through his forehead diamond. (This is caused when two non-merged Flash objects are faded at the same time, indicating Strong Bad's diamond is actually a separate object to his mask.)

===Inside References===

*In the theme song a close-up on how Strong Bad [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|types with boxing gloves]] appears.

*"They're tiny, they're toony, they're all a little loony" is a paraphrase of the first line of the theme song to ''[[Wikipedia:Tiny Toon Adventures|Tiny Toon Adventures]]''. [[wikipedia:Continuity announcer|Continuity announcers]] would regularly use this line, complete with the exaggerated pronunciation of the word "all," to introduce the show during the previous show's closing credits.
*In the second theme song, there are several successive references to late-'80s television shows:
**The succession of picture frames was a common element of several shows.
**The lyrics closely resemble the second verse from [http://www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/growingpainslyrics.html the theme song] from ''[[Wikipedia:Growing Pains|Growing Pains]]''.
**"The Cheat Baxter-Birney" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Meredith Baxter|Meredith Baxter]] (formerly Meredith Baxter Birney, from ''[[Wikipedia:Family Ties|Family Ties]]'').

**The scene with Strong Bad in an astronaut suit is a reference to the closing credits of the Muppet Babies cartoons. In the cartoon, Kermit and Piggy are both in the same looking astronaut suits and in the same pose as Strong Bad.
*Strong Bad in front of the side brick wall of Bubs' Concession Stand in the closing credits refers to Jerry Seinfeld's ending stand-up comedy segment of episodes of ''[[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]]''. The credit "based on the comedy stylings of Little Strong Bad" also refers to this and other programs starring comics.

* "Closing theme song by a Marsalis or two" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Marsalis|Marsalis]] family of jazz musicians.
* ''[http://www.tvimedia.com/1_lss.htm The Lighter Side of Sports]'', a long-running, syndicated TV show, is one of Senor Cardgage's degrees.
**''[[Wikipedia:MAD Magazine|MAD Magazine]]'' also contained a comic strip called "The Lighter Side Of..." written by [[Wikipedia:Dave Berg (cartoonist)|Dave Berg]].
* The "Escrow Understandment" line is a reference to a recurring [[Wikipedia:Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]] sketch called "Middle-Aged Man", starring Mike Myers. One of Middle-Aged Man's powers was understanding escrow.
* The web browser used in the CGNU e-Niversity ad strongly resembles [[Wikipedia:Internet Explorer for Mac|Internet Explorer 5.0 for Mac]].

===Commentary Transcript===
'''MATT:''' Go, Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' This one— Ryan's gonna take the, uh, lead on this email commentary.

'''MATT:''' You run point!

'''RYAN:''' I'm a— I'm a big fan of theme songs.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? What's your favorite TV theme song, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uh... Fortunately, a mix... Well, I dunno. Either Golden Girls, that's a good one...

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''RYAN:''' Or Family Ties is another good one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Which one's Golden Girls? How does it go?

'''RYAN:''' A friend and a confidant.

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' I— I always thought it was, uh, "You're a friend and I'm confident."

''{Mike and Ryan laugh}''

'''MATT:''' And so I thought it was ''{begins singing}'' "You're my fr— You're a friend and I'm confident!" And, uh, it just meant that, like, you know, I'm sure that we're friends! And then, what was, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Uh, Perfect Strangers had a good one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was a good one.

'''RYAN:''' Uh...

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um... ''{pause}'' Remember— So, when did things like, the, uh... the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour, and, like, the Tom and Jerry Show, like, when they had a theme song, and it wasn't just shorts anymore? You know? Like, when did those ''happen?'' Was that— Was that in the 80s? Was that growing up, or was it prior to that?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno, it may have been in the 70s, I seem to remember 'em for a while, but...

'''MATT:''' Remember— I— That one reminds me of, uh... of the Tom and Jerry theme song. At the end, remember, he was picking up a weight and they all got sucked into the ground?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah!

'''MATT:''' 'Cause he had... the weight he was trying to lift was too...

'''MIKE:''' Here's a Family Ties style, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. Including Meredith Baxter The Cheat! The Cheat Baxter-Birnie!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The Cheat Bax— Meredith Baxter The Cheat! ''{laughs}'' That would have been much better. ''{seeing Strong Bad do shadow puppetry}'' How is he doing—

'''RYAN:''' Growing Pains.

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Ryan laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' Didn't we learn Alan Thicke wrote a lot of 'em?

'''MATT:''' Uh... or were we mistaken about that? I think—

'''RYAN:''' He ''wrote'' them. He didn't ''sing'' them.

'''MATT:''' He didn't sing them, that's right.

'''RYAN:''' 'Cause even— Uh, he wrote the Facts of Life one... I saw recently.

'''MATT:''' Ah. That looked like the— Cheers, uh... Doesn't Cheers use Cooper Black?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Yeah, at the end... for the "Created by..."

'''MATT:''' Yeah... ''{pause}'' "Check back after the bowl games!" They're— We're— They're really into the bowl games. Do you think that includes the Pro Bowl?

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

'''MATT:''' CGNU Online E-niversity.

'''MIKE:''' Definitely. The Pro Bowl. My favorite sporting event of the year.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, Mike did a lot of this email. I was out of town. And Mike did a lot of this...

'''MIKE:''' Where'd you go? Where were you, man?!

'''MATT:''' I don't remem— Oh, I was in New— New York. ''{pronounces "York" like "Youk"}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' I remember watching this with millionaire gadabout Craig Zobel.

'''MIKE:''' Look! It's Jackie!

'''MATT:''' Hey! That's old wife Jackie!

''{pause as the three laugh while the balding man ponders the possibilty of cutting his arm off}''

'''MATT:''' You know, maybe. He's considering cutting his arm off.

'''MIKE:''' He definitely will! C'mon. Who're you kidding?

'''MATT:''' Next time that guy shows up he should... not have an arm. ''{pause}'' Um...

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' "Based on the comedy of..." I know, uh, Everybody Loves Raymond, uh... Home Improvement.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Did Seinfeld?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if Seinfeld had that in the credits. Those other ones had in the credits "based on the comedy of".

'''MATT:''' So this is our local affiliate, uh, what, channel 10. Uh... 4— Channel— Well, 46 was the local thing but it was channel 10 on cable. The guy would always— It was before Charles in Charge.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' "But first, they're tiny, they're toony, they're ''all'' a little looney! It's Tiny Toon Adventures! And next, Lembeck chops his head off... on Charles in Charge." ''{pause}'' Um... So, yeah, how 'bout— When did squishy— squishing start... at the end of, uh... the promo for some other show happening.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I don't know why...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, to fit more ads.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno why they allow it. Sometimes movies, they get so squished you definitely can't read them...

'''MATT:''' And plus, movies, they run them by really fast.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's, like, pointless. Yeah, really fast. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' What do you get when you email Strong Bad? You get a world of hurt.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br />
I think that you should do more<br />
e-mails every week. Like two. Then<br />
we could have double the Strong Bad,<br />
and double the fun.<br />
<br />
Jimmy, MN</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad temporarily stops reading and says, "Ooh! That's like Strong Bad gum!" after "double the fun," and reads "MN" as "Mini"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay little Jimmy. I'll do two emails this week. ''{stops typing, long pause}'' Number two.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br />
If you could time travel, what period<br />
in time would you travel to?<br />
<br />
Dave Nienaber<br />
Antioch, IL</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad draws out the "CH" in "Antioch" and pronounces "IL" as "Ill-annoy-us"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Naber, I'd definitely travel ahead about 15 minutes to when all the ladies show up for my "2003 Ladies' Choice Awards."

''{A logo flashes on screen saying "Ladies' Choice Awards" and a little ditty of music plays}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' About 70 or 50 fine women will be showing up to vote on which one gets to dance with yours truly. But since I don't have a time machine, I'll just have to wait it out.

''{After a few seconds, everything starts going in fast-forward. We only get brief glimpses of [[#Events During the Fast Forward|all the stuff that happens]] as Strong Bad forwards ahead, and we stop the fast-forward on a screen that's typed: "Now, On to the ladies!!!" Cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Strong Sad awaiting the females. The room is decorated with a banner that says "weclome ladies/girls" and balloons reading "Ladies' Choice" and "Vote Strong Bad". Many nametags are set out on a tray for the ladies; however, there are no ladies to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't get it! Where could the ladies be?

'''BUBS:''' You said there'd be the ladies!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know! I know! Maybe their bus flew off a bottomless cliff... and into, like... a bottomless pit. Strong Sad, did anybody call and say they weren't coming?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or mention anything about a bottomless pit?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. About a million ladies called while you were checking your email and said they'd be a few minutes late.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, good! So their bus is okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, I'm just kidding! But Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Oh, this has gone from bad to worse!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, guys, check it out! ''{puts a nametag on}'' I'm hot girl number 37!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Coach, don't do it! This is depressing enough as it is.

'''COACH Z:''' No, lookit me! ''{starts dancing}'' I'm shakin' it to the left and to the right!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Auuuuuuuuuuugh! ''{starts walking off}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{humming}'' Doo doo duh DOO doo doo doo duh doo doo!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I WANT ACTION!

''{The same ditty that played before plays again, except this time the logo reads "No Ladies Showed Up!" The banner falls from the wall. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm sorry you had to see that. I shoulda played it safe and gone ''back'' in time to where I ''know'' I'm awesome. But, since I don't have a time machine I guess I'll just have to wait it out. ''{stops typing}'' Umm... ''{starts typing again}'' Backwards.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*In the beginning when after Strong Bad says, "double the Strong Bad", one can click on the words "double the fun" to see "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum". The top reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum" and a "25¢" sticker, and the bottom reads "'It's light green!!!' Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice."
*Before the "Fast Forward", one can click on "2003 [[Ladies' Choice Awards]]" to bring up the logo and play the music again.
*At the end, one can click on the word "Backwards" to see a mirror-image "Backwards" logo. The music also plays in reverse.
*Also at the end, one can click on the word "back" (as in "gone ''back'' in time") to see an Easter egg featuring Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Sneak.

:''{The egg begins in the [[Old-Timey]] era. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing in front of a microphone. The background is standard Old-Timey fare.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I'm no apothecary, but before you trek long and wide on the Muskeegee trail, don't forget to try Uncle Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders!
:''{Old-Timey Strong Bad holds up a tin of the stuff.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Nothing else increases brain juice quite like it! Once again, that's ''{holds the tin to the camera}'' Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders. ''{pulls the tin back to normal view}'' Whisk away the worries!
:''{The Sneak enters from the right.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns to The Sneak}'' How was that phraseology, The Sneak? Are your worries adequately whisked?
:''{The Sneak responds in typical The Sneak-fashion by wiggling his nose.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Smashing! ''{pause}'' No, I mean... start smashing!
:''{The Sneak darts off-camera to the right, and the sound of glass shattering is heard.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes! It's curtains for you, ''{shakes fist}'' Ming vase!
:''{Cut to a closeup of the tin of Uncle Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Uncle Strong Bad makes good!
:''{The words "Strong Bad Powdertory, St. Louis, MO" appear beneath the can.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a lower tone of voice and quicker than normal}'' Strong Bad Powdertory, Saint Louis Mo!

== Fun Facts ==

=== Events During the Fast Forward ===
*Strong Bad writes a [[Wikipedia:BASIC programming language|BASIC]] program.

<blockquote class="short compy email">10 print"STRONG BAD IS COOL!"<br />
20 goto 10<br />
30 end</blockquote>

*He types "run", and the screen fills with "STRONG BAD IS COOL!"
*He is also seen with the drink from [[interview]], a Thai iced tea.
*Strong Bad plays with the [[Peanut Strong Bad]] he created in [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad's computer screen shows the text "Wanna fight? Huh?" Strong Bad punches the screen.
*Strong Bad opens an email (his third today):

<blockquote class="short compy email">Hey Strongbad.<br />
I was just wondering what you<br />
thought of Delaware.<br />
<br />
Danny
</blockquote>

*The above email gets
<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">[[DELETED|<span style="font-family:font; color:#FFF;">DELETED</span>]]!!!</blockquote>
*Strong Bad sticks a [[Sticky Notes|Post-it note]] on his computer that says "[[Van Buren]]".
*Strong Bad starts looking at the camera.
*Strong Bad stands up in front of the computer.
*Homestar Runner sits down and writes:

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Hey Strong Bad, I built a time<br />
machine by putting a Gameboy<br />
in a blender. I used your<br />
blender and also your Gameboy.<br />
I will go into the future and<br />
buy you new ones.</blockquote>
*Strong Bad types
<blockquote class="short compy email">Only a few minutes left. I<br />
think I can hear some of the<br />
ladies giggling and saying how<br />
they like me and stuff. Or<br />
maybe that's just The Cheat.<br />
</blockquote>
*Strong Bad plays a game called "[[Pigs on Head]]", later made into an LCD game by [[Videlectrix]]. (He gets a Score of 1,200 on level 8.)
*Strong Bad puts on a sombrero.
*Strong Bad types, "Now, on to the ladies!!!"

=== The Nametags ===
Most start with "Hello, my name is hot girl #". Exceptions noted:
*48
*v2.14 (no "#")
*4077 ("hot lips" instead of "hot girl")
*00
*18
*7 (written as "hotgirl")
*Sue (written as "hotgirl"; no "#")
*40
*2
*8 (written as "hotgirl")
*13
*[[20X6|X6]]
*37
*26c
*26

===Explanations===
*An [[apothecary]] is similar to a modern-day [[Wikipedia:pharmacist|pharmacist]]. Apothecaries sold medicines, tobacco, cure-alls, and other such goods.

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum in the Easter egg (costing 25¢) has the slogan "It's light green!!!", and the package's fine print reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice".

===Remarks===
*The third line in Strong Bad's BASIC program [[BASIC Infinite Loop|is unreachable]] because the second line will make the program display "STRONG BAD IS COOL!" an infinite number of times.
*The contrast buttons on the Compy work during the fast forward sequence.
**If you freeze the Flash file during the fast forward sequence when Homestar comes and types about a time machine, you can adjust the contrast and Homestar's reflection will be affected, unlike in [[anything]] and [[50 emails]].
*The Compy's frame appears distorted during the fast-forward, yet the fast-forward has no effect on the screen features such as the text, Strong Bad's reflection, and the DELETED! screen. (See image below.)
*The Delaware email (copying [[sb_email 22]]) is an example of one of the [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].
*When Coach Z is "shakin' it to left and to the right" he faces left and right from the viewer's perspective, not his own.
*Homestar misspells [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]] as "Gameboy". It is properly spelled as two words.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Sbemail 2-emails goof.PNG|thumb|Distortion Displacement]]
[[Image:2-faced Strong Bad.png|thumb|2-faced?]]
*After the backwards Easter egg, the word "backwards" doesn't fade out entirely, but remains on the screen for a second before disappearing.
*During the fast-forward sequence:
**Where the screen is filled with "STRONG BAD IS COOL!", the text sometimes sticks out of the monitor.
**As Strong Bad takes a sip from his drink, there is no reflection of the drink on the screen.
**You can see Strong Bad's mouth is gone after he drinks.
**When Strong Bad punches the Compy, the distortion from the fast forward remains in the same spot of the frame, despite the fact it has left where the distortion logically occurs.
***When Strong Bad punches the screen, his arm is detached from his body.
**When Strong Bad turns around to look at the camera, the reflection on the Compy still shows his face instead of the back of his head.
**Strong Bad's reflection goes off the Compy's screen when he stands on the stool and a bit when he's playing with his peanut action figure. Also, the head portion of the reflection is incorrectly affected by changing the Compy's contrast, and if the contrast is turned all the way up, this portion of the reflection disappears entirely.
**When the contrast knob is turned, while the distortion causes the left edge of the computer to bend, the border of the contrasted area remains straight.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Double Deuce]]" on the gum is a reference to the email [[the bird]] and [[20X6]].
*The Welcome sign reads "[[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]]".
*The [[name tags]] Strong Bad prepared for the hot ladies can also be seen in [[The Luau]].
*This is another mention of a [[bottomless pit]].
*This is another reference to [[Van Buren]].
*This is another reference to [[Nintendo]].

===Real-World References===
*Double Deuce-blemint Gum is based on Wrigley's [[Wikipedia:Doublemint|Doublemint]] gum.
**"Double the Strong Bad ... double the fun" is a reference to the old Doublemint gum slogan "double your pleasure, double your fun".
*"Hot lips #4077" is a reference to the [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (novels)|book]], [[imdb:tt0066026|movie]] and [[imdb:tt0068098|TV show]] M*A*S*H. All chronicled life at the 4077th [[wikipedia:Mobile army surgical hospital|Mobile Army Surgical Hospital]] during the Korean War. Major Margaret [[Wikipedia:Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan|"Hot Lips"]] Houlihan was a major character.
*A [[Wikipedia:Chinese ceramics|Ming vase]] is a vase produced during the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, and is therefore very valuable.
* The "Muskeegee trail" may be a reference to the Muskogee Trail, or the [[Wikipedia:Trail of Tears|Trail of Tears]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's time machine is seen as an "alternate universe portal" in [[alternate universe]].
*Although a Strong Bad gum is seen in an Easter egg, in the email [[candy product]] Strong Bad claims he has not made a candy product.
*In the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], the short [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] has the description, "He's no apothecary.", a reference to Old-Timey Strong Bad in this email's Easter egg.
*A similar BASIC program from the fast-forward (however, written in [[Wikipedia:Applesoft BASIC|Applesoft BASIC]]) was seen again in [[Workin' on the Game]].

== DVD Version ==
*The gum and event logo Easter eggs are viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The "Backwards" Easter egg can be accessed via the Strong Bad logo to the right of the Compy screen and plays twice when activated.

Compé

PsychicRadroach — Mon, 04 May 2015 23:03:04 GMT

PsychicRadroach: I rephrased the recently removed edit.

[[Image:Compé.png|thumb|So sleek! So-phisticated! So... Compé!]]
[[Image:CompeGUI.png|thumb|left|Who taped a full-color photograph to his computer screen?]]<br>

[[Image:Compé Logo.png|thumb|Compé's Logo]]
The '''Compé''' (pronounced "com-PAY") was [[Strong Bad]]'s fourth computer, which he ordered from the [[Compy Catalog]] after he destroyed the [[Lappy 486]]. Like the Lappy and its predecessor, the [[Compy 386]], the Compé is manufactured by [[Compy, Inc.]] According to its description in the catalog, the Compé delivers European-sounding flair with Southeast-Asian-sounding prices, which apparently are Strong Bad's favorites. It cost $800, which Strong Bad paid with 80,000 pennies. It appears to have a sense of humor, bringing up a [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning#Fake Fragrant System Error|"Fragrant Error"]] after startup that made Strong Bad very frustrated. It then responded with "i joké". Strong Bad claims that he and the Compé "will get along just fine". Its sound effects are mainly laughs or sighs of a calm, high-pitch male voice. The keyboard is also quieter than those on Strong Bad's previous computers.

The first [[Strong Bad Email]] Strong Bad checked on it was [[independent]]. In that email, it was revealed that the Compé utilizes a [[Wikipedia:Graphical User Interface|graphical user interface]]. Opening windows are animated (with a zoom in from the center of the screen,) as is the right-click menu, suggesting that the computer runs a [[Wikipedia:Compositing window manager|compositing window manager]]. This makes it the most technologically advanced computer Strong Bad has owned. It is also the first wide-screen computer that Strong Bad has owned, as well as the first one primarily operated with a mouse (despite his dislike of them in [[weird dream]] and [[redesign]]), or with a graphical desktop (which he calls the "best thing ever").

Strong Bad only checked three emails on the Compé, the last of which was [[videography]]. When he returned to check [[sbemail206]], he discovered that the Compé was buried under a massive dust pile. After blowing the pile away, Strong Bad discovered that all but the top right corner of the Compé's screen had "compressed" into a new computer, the [[Lappier]]. To date, this is the home computer that Strong Bad has checked the least amount of [[Sbemails]] on, although it stayed Strong Bad's official computer for the longest period of time; 2060 days.

Despite being supposedly retired in sbemail206, the email menu still shows the Compé.

== Quick Facts ==
[[Image:Compé back ween09.png|thumb|right|"Strong Bad, as he always does, checks emails from his fans..."]]

'''Debut:''' [[Compy Catalog]]

'''Fonts:''' Perfect DOS VGA 437, Perfect DOS VGA 437 Win

'''Interactive Feature:''' None

'''Emails checked on the computer:''' {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Compé Emails}}

==Wallpapers==
{{seemain|Compé Wallpapers}}
The Compé's wallpaper often changes when a new email or email menu is added.

==Compé-per==
[[Image:virtualpaper.png|thumb|200px|Preeeeow once more.]]
{{seemain|Compé-per}}

The Compé also sports a built-in replacement for [[The Paper]], [[New Paper]], and [[Envelope Paper]]: a text box with the words "Click to email Strong Bad." The sound it makes by default is a voice clip similar to the startup sound, but Strong Bad managed to customize it so it emitted The Paper's old [[Preeeeow]]. Strong Bad calls it "Compé-per" (pronounced "com-paper"). The back button links to the toons menu rather than the Strong Bad Email menu.

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

==Transcript==
''{Spooky sounds play against a darkened wall. Homestar Runner's shadow appears from the left, and Homestar himself then appears suddenly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wah! You scared me! So, here's the deal: I'm lost inside this haunted mansion, and I need your help to find my costume and get outta here! So, what should we do first?

''{The screen displays: 'WHAT SHOULD WE DO?? 1. PET A GOAT 2. MAKE A STEW 3. "I'M SELLING THESE FINE LEATHER JACKETS..."' A "COSTUME LOCATOR" is in the lower left and a "HEALTH & BEAUTY" indicator, showing 100%, is in the lower right. Then, after a moment, the lights suddenly come on and the camera pans back, revealing the interior of Homestar's house, including pictures of Homestar's past costumes framed on the wall. Marzipan walks up with a wig and a pile of clothes. A sheet of paper can be seen in front of Homestar, with doodles all over it and several markers scattered around it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What up, Homestar? Here's your costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the costume}'' Oh, thanks. You win!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{noticing the paper and markers}'' Homestar Michael Runner, what did you do—

''{A closeup of the paper is shown. It reads:}''

<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion<br/>1. *****-Water<br/>2. Powdered *********<br/>3. Essence of *********<br/>Stir ingredients with a ***********<br/>Say this magic incantation:<br/>*****************************</div>

''{Drawings of [[bugs]] and [[ducks]] obscure all of the important parts, asterisked. Also, Homestar has written "MEAN SEAN", "QUACK TIME", and "COOL DUCK" on various parts of the paper.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —to my Halloween Potion recipe?

''{Homestar and Marzipan appear again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah. ''{turns away from Marzipan}'' Marzipaaan! Can I draw ducks and bugs all over the recipe for your Halloween Potion?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No way, Jorge. You're gonna figure out what those ingredients were and bring 'em back here before midnight. Now march your skinny white butt into those spooky woods, mister!

''{Music starts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{humbly}'' Yes, Mom-zipan.

''{The screen displays "HALLOWEEN POTION-MA-JIG" and "A MAKE-YOUR-OWN-DECISION-VENTURE", followed by the usual credits (with the notable addition of "[[Jonathan Howe|Jonathan]] programs"), over the drawings of bugs and ducks. Then, cut to the spooky woods, where Homestar is now in costume.}''

===The Water===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! These spooky woods gotta be chock full of spooky ingredients. Let's see, the first one is ''{pulls out the paper}'' "Something Water." Hmmmmmmmm...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{from a distance}'' Really?

''{cut to Coach Z and Pom Pom}''

'''COACH Z:''' Then how come they'll be all nice to ya and act like they like ya to your face?

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

'''COACH Z:''' Guess I have a lot to learn about mailmen.

''{Homestar walks up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, what are you guys doin' out here? Did you ruin somebody's magic potion too?

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... nope. Unless Coach Z's life is a magic potion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool, cool, depressing, cool. So, um...

''{A box shows up reading "CHOICE TIME!!!" and the three choices:}''

====1. Do either of you have any...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do either of you have any cash on you? ''{imitating a shady drifter}'' I'm trying to get a me a sandwich or somethin'. Uh, my car broke down and I'm out of gas.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, sorry, man. All I gots is this bottle of, uh, ghost water?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's perfect! I was planning on blowin' that money on ghost water anyways.

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items obtained. The first blank is filled with "<u>Ghost</u> Water". A victory sound plays.}''

====2. I need something that would be...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I need something that would be good in a Halloween Potion.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles and pulls a severed toe out of his pocket}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom can getcha a toe. With nail polish!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... do you have anything waterier? Or... more waterish? Or waterian?

'''COACH Z:''' Please, Homestar, stop! Just take this bottle of questionable water that I keep on my person at all times for questionable reasons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I won't question that!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items obtained. The first blank is filled with "<u>Questionable</u> Water". A victory sound plays.}''

====3. Taco-Man came by...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. He gave me some water, he gave me some water. What are you guys gonna do for me?

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, give the man some stank water. I will not be upstaged by Taco-Man two years in a row!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items obtained. The first blank is filled with "<u>Stank</u> Water". A victory sound plays.}''

===The Powder===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I gotta keep searchin'. ''{starts to walk offscreen to the right}'' Too bad I probably won't run into anybody else mysteriously hanging out in the woods.

''{Cut to The King of Town and The Poopsmith. The King of Town is holding a bucket of fried chicken. Holes are dug all over the place. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Whaddaya know! How ya diggin'?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! We're certainly not trying to unearth the ham sandwich that I buried here when I was nine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good. 'Cause I found that thing like two months ago. It wasn't that good. Too much mayo.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Too much mayo?! I ''love'' too much mayo!

''{The choice dialogue comes up again.}''

====1. Hey! I've got it...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I've got it! I'll give you a detailed account of the consumption of your ham sammie if you give me a powdered item for this Potion-ma-jig!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Sweet deal! ''{pulls out a small pouch}'' Take some of this powdered Thanksgiving! Now let's hear it!

''{The screen starts to fade out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, so first I washed all the dirt off with some Windex. That made it blue and soggy...

''{It fades back in. The King of Town has his head lowered in emotion. His chicken bucket is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and that last bite nearly made me puke it right back on my plate!

''{Homestar walks off and takes the powder as he goes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, I wish you had. I surely wish you had!

''{The scorecard returns. The second blank is filled with "Powdered <u>Thanksgiving</u>".}''

====2. I say, is that a powdered...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say, is that a powdered wig you're wearing, your Kentucky Fried-ness? 'Cause I'm in the market for some powdery dealings!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{pulls out a pouch}'' Well, I've got my secret blend of eleven herbs and spices. But, of course, you can't have that.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, that's too bad. I guess I'll just go on home and— ''{starts popping in and out of the holes, snatching the powder while he hops around}'' Pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong! ''{appears from one of the holes, holding the powder}'' So long, suckers!

''{Homestar drops back into the hole.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ha! That blend was just a decoy! It only has ''ten'' herbs and spices!

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered <u>Herbs & Spices</u>".}''

====3. Poopsmith, do I dare ask...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poopsmith, do I dare ask what powdered delights you've unearthed?

''{The Poopsmith digs in the dirt and a pouch pops out, which Homestar catches.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, ground ground. Thanks thanks, guys guys.

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered <u>Ground Ground</u>"}''

===Homsar===
''{This scene only happens by clicking on the upper half of The Poopsmith as Homestar walks away (an Easter egg). Homsar is floating on a balloon, as per his costume (Tingle from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda Series]]). Homestar walks up, and looks at him, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great, the secret guy.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaA—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just gimme my choices!

''{Homsar throws confetti, and the bottom of the screen reads:}''

<blockquote>
HOISIN SAUCE!<br>
2TH: HORSE IT ON IN THERE!<br>
THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT!<br>
> What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{With The Hornblower's head and some circus peanuts over it. The text is crooked and in multiple fonts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What I'm supposed to do with ''that'' mess? I'm outta here!

''{The "ding" sound effect plays backwards as the box of text vanishes. Homestar walks away.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Location, location, location!

===The Essence===
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are standing around a cliff, with broken TVs littering the area. Strong Bad's face is obscured by the cabinet doors on his costume. Strong Mad grunts and tosses a broken TV. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. This is a cool new background!

''{The TV Strong Mad tossed falls in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opening his costume's doors}'' Yeah! We were just burying our problems here in the spooky woods when we found this creepy cliff! It's perfect for the chucking off of busted old TVs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Essence of busted old TVs? 'Cuz I got a serious jones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I think these TVs lost their essence in the seventies. What are you doing here, anyways?

''{The choice box returns:}''

====1. I've always felt that...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've always felt that essence of rose petals is my very most favorite essence.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I agree, The Cheat. Essence of doo doo meringue has always been my favorite. In fact... there's a whole bunch of it down at the bottom of this cliff you can have.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping off the cliff}'' Cannonball!

''{The scorecard appears with "Essence of <u>Doo doo meringue</u>"}''

====2. I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's Halloween Potion. Got any leads?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a worthy cause if ever there was one! How about this essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep?

'''STRONG MAD:''' MY SECRET SHAME!

''{The Cheat tosses a bottle off the cliff. Homestar jumps after it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks a lot you guuuuuuuuuys!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of <u>Putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep</u>".}''

====3. I'm in the mood for a...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the mood for a Hovan roll!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me too. Let's have a race to the food court. Here's the starting line. Ready, go!

''{The Cheat draws a line in dirt next to the cliff's edge.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{running over cliff}'' Eat my duuuuuuuust!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of <u>Gullibility</u>".}''

===The stirring utensil===
''{Cut back to Strong Bad's posse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meka-leka-hi-meka-The Cheat throw a TV on 'im...

''{The Cheat drops a TV over the cliff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ho.

''{The doors on Strong Bad's costume close once more. Cut to Bubs, standing by a canister labeled "BUBS' MO'BILE CAN o' STIRRING UTENSILS". ("Bile" is in green.) Homestar bounces once on the ground and then lands on his feet next to Bubs. The TV crashes behind Homestar at the same spot where he had bounced off, narrowly missing him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs! Fancy runnin' into you in the middle of the spooky woods sellin' stirring utensils.

'''BUBS:''' It's a niche market.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, what kind of concoctions might one stir with your wares?

'''BUBS:''' Well, a little eye of newt, some toe of frog. Baby, you got a witches' brew goin'.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's my line! So, how do I score one of those jobbies?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, they're free. But you gotta ''earn'' 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, that doesn't sound free at all.

'''BUBS:''' Well you just gotta ''earn'' 'em.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How should I do that?

''{The choice box returns:}''

====1. Do a dance====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dances}'' A little to the left, come on, come on, back to the right, shake it around. ''{he repeats it over Bubs's next line}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, yeah! Stick and move, stick and move! You're pretty good, shorty. ''{pulls a red spoon with a T-Rex head from his canister}'' That's worth at least a ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: <u>JP3 Collector Spoon</u>".}''

====2. Sing a song====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, here goes. Two and three and four. ''{singing terribly while off-key music plays in the background, and Bubs covers his ears, agitated}'' Backyard peaches! Treats come true! Karate Summer, what wouldja do? The world is the egg, and diapers come true...

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Heard enough of that one! You... you get a chewed-up pen.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: <u>Chewed Up Pen</u>".}''

====3. Reagan impression====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning over, in a low voice}'' Well... well... Nancy and I... economics... well... rap music... jellybeans... well... we... probably had a... pet...

'''BUBS:''' That's the worst Ronald Reagan impression I've ever heard!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing upright}'' ''Ronald'' Reagan?! I was doing my Keanu Reagan!

'''BUBS:''' Just take this terlet brush and get outta here!

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: <u>Terlet Brush</u>".}''

===The magic words===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking off}'' Thanks, Great American Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now to find Strong Sad. Anything that guy says will make ''great'' magic words!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, half-buried and asleep. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad. Nice fire hydrant costume!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh. Mineral water... ''{wakes up and looks at Homestar}'' What?

''{The choice box returns:}''

====1. I just graduated...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, do you even have half a brain?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hot biscuits! Those are the best magic words I've ever heards!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: <u>Do you even have half a brain</u>".}''

====2. If you were at a party...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you were at a party, what would you rap?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Each day, we die a little more, yo! Betta ax somebod-ay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Fresh beats! My favorite!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: <u>Better Ax Somebod-ay</u>".}''

====3. Taco-Man came by...====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. We played a little foosball, played a little foosball. So, what are some of your favorite words?

'''STRONG SAD:''' In no particular order: Loquentia... Imbruglia... Precipitous... Saralee...cheesecake... Denouement...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those are great!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: <u>Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precitpitous, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement</u>".}''

===The potion===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for the words, half-man! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go forward! Move ahead. Try to detect it! It's not too late.

''{Cut to Homestar's house, where Homestar and Marzipan are standing near a bubbling cauldron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, so here's what I came up with: a bottle of ''{"Ghost," "Questionable," or "Stank"}'' water, ''{he throws the bottle into the cauldron}'' ''{"A secret blend of eleven Herbs and Spices," "Some Ground Ground," or "Some Powdered Thanksgiving"; it's thrown into the cauldron too}'', and essence of ''{"Doo Doo Meringue", "Putting Strong Mad's Hand in Warm Water while He's Asleep", or "Gullibility, whatever that is"; again, he throws it into the cauldron}''. ''{Pulls out the stirring utensil}'' And give a little stir with this ''{"Jurassic Park III Collector's Spoon", "Chewed Up Pen", or "Terlet Brush"}''. And say these magic words. ''{He hands an index card to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{"Do you even have half a brain", "Better Ax Somebod-ay", or "Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, Saraleecheesecakia, Denouement"}''

''{The cauldron makes a "poof" sound and smoke emerges. Marzipan dips a cup into it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Here, Homestar. ''{hands the cup to Homestar and smiles}'' Have some Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I do! ''{He drinks the contents of the cup.}''

''{See the [[#How the Ending is Chosen|fun facts section]] to see how the endings scenes are chosen. These are the different effects on Homestar:}''

====End 1: Tofu Homestar====
''{After drinking the potion, Homestar turns into the Tofu version of himself as seen in [[The Luau]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yay, Homestar! You're back to your old self again!

''{The tofu head slides off into the cauldron and a flame covers Tofu Homestar, who reverts back to his regular self without his Halloween costume}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{disappointed}'' Yay, Homestar. You're back to your old self again...

====End 2: Cycloptic Homestar====
''{Homestar suddenly loses his wig and sprouts one enormous eye on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yelps}'' Marzipan! There's only one of you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Don't tell me you forgot how to use your eyes again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you trying to tell me that I haven't been dating twins this whole time?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, I don't think you're gonna have to worry about dating anyone from now on.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray!

====End 3: [[French]] Homestar====

====End 4: Freaky Marzipan====
''{After drinking the potion, Homestar turns into a normally-dressed Marzipan.}''

==Fun Facts==
===How the Ending is Chosen===
* There are five endings to this toon. Which ending is seen is determined by adding together all the numbers of the choices made, dividing by five, taking the remainder (numbered zero to four), and adding one. Thus, if 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2 are chosen, the equation would come out as 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11 / 5 = 2, remainder 1. Add 1 to that, and the cartoon plays ending 2. (See the talk page for the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#The Code|source code]].)
*If the remainder is:
:*0, then ending 1 appears: Tofu Homestar. There are 53 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 5, 10, or 15 this ending is displayed.
:*1, then ending 2 appears: Cyclops Homestar. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 6 or 11 this ending is displayed.
:*2, then ending 3 appears: French Homestar. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 7 or 12 this ending is displayed.
:*3, then ending 4 appears: Freaky Marzipan. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 8 or 13 this ending is displayed.
:*4, then ending 5 appears: The Goblin. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 9 or 14 this ending is displayed.

===Trivia===
*The ducks and bugs Homestar drew on the potion are:

*The original potion read:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion<br/>1. Ghost-Water<br/>2. Powdered Pigs' Feet<br/>3. Essence of Nightroot<br/>Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon<br/>Say this magic incantation:<br/>
"Sip it down and swish it 'round"</div>
*This toon was released at about 1:30 a.m. on November 1, Atlanta time. All day the previous day, the [[Main Page Messages|button on the main page]] read, ''"workin' as fast as we can!"''. When the toon was finally released, the button read: ''"it's still halloween!"'' (moving one's pointer over the button revealed: ''"in certain timezones!"''). Later in the day, the button was changed to simply read: ''"halloween toon!"''
*The shirt Coach Z is wearing is from ''[[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]'''s first-season episode "[http://www.tv.com/the-cosby-show/a-shirt-story/episode/6802/summary.html A Shirt Story]," in which Denise tries to hand-make Theo a designer shirt and butchers it in the process. The fictitious brand of shirt was called a "Gordon Gartrelle," and the original cost Theo $95. The "Jammin' on the one" line is a reference to the episode "[http://www.tv.com/a-touch-of-wonder/episode/6836/summary.html|A Touch Of Wonder]," in which guest star [[Wikipedia:Stevie Wonder|Stevie Wonder]] sampled the voices of the Huxtable family and made them into a song.
:*[[thorax:mp3s/Jammin_On_the_1.mp3|Jammin' on the 1]] is also one of the mp3s available on [[Thorax Corporation]]'s website.
*The total number of possible sequences of potion ingredients is 3<sup>5</sup>, or 243.
*According to the [[Quote of the Week#2005-11-03|Quote of the Week]] on November 3, Bubs was originally going to give out an ''[[IMDb:tt0114781|Under Siege 2]]'' collector's spoon instead of the ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.
* The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, which originally ended immediately after Marzipan's line "You're back to your old self again!", before Tofu Homestar's head fell into the cauldron, but with the animation suggesting it was about to do so. The change was likely made to remove any suggestion that Homestar had "died" by being transformed into an inanimate object. The update also added an extra "THE END" scene and an Easter Egg (The Cheat). It is possible that these elements were originally planned for the original release but left out due to time constraints.

===Remarks===
*The pictures above Homestar's cabinet are changed for the holiday. They ordinarily show his changing appearance over the years. This time, they depict all his past [[Halloween costumes]] from 2000 to the present.
*This is the first time Homestar is mentioned as having a middle name ("Michael") in a toon. (In the DVD commentary for [[time capsule]], however, Marzipan offhandedly remarked that Hal was his middle name.)
*[[Wikipedia:Gossamer (Looney Tunes)|Gossamer]] actually has a redder tint than the bright orange color of Strong Mad's costume.
*All of the spooky trees in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations. Also, the first two backgrounds for Pom Pom, Coach Z, the Poopsmith, and the King of Town are identical.
**Homestar makes a remark about the latter instance himself, saying that the background has changed when he enters the scene with Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.
*Besides stealing Homestar's [[Witches' Brew]] "line," as Homestar points out, Bubs also appropriates the "terlet" pronunciation of "toilet" that Coach Z has used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[A Folky Tale]]. This spelling shows up on the scorecard as well, but Homestar still pronounces it as "toilet" when he hands it over to Marzipan. (Homestar's speech impediment causes a mispronunciation of the mispronunciation, making it correct again.)
*Homestar's costume includes a pair of shoes. When Marzipan gives him his costume, however, the shoes do not appear to be included.
*Strong Bad comments on Homestar's shady drifter and Reagan impressions even if those scenes weren't chosen.
**Also, when Strong Bad comments on his Reagan impression, Homestar agrees that he was impersonating Ronald Reagan and not Keanu Reagan.
*When not wearing a costume, Bubs has no thumbs. Mysteriously though, the thumbs on his white boxing gloves seem to move as he does.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad's cabinet doors are open, they appear to be symmetrical; they shouldn't be able to fit together when closed.
*When he looks directly into the camera, Strong Bad's left eye seems to jut a little into the V-shape on his mask.
*Homestar's [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars|Converse All-Star Hi-Tops]] have stars on both sides of each shoe, when they should have stars [http://www.martyshoes.com/store/media/con-s049622-9160men500.jpg only on the inner side].
*When The Cheat pushes the television off of the edge of the cliff, the dent on the top is towards the right. When it lands, however, the dent has switched sides.
*If you choose "I'm in the mood for a..." when getting the Essence, the line disappears when it cuts back to the cliff.

===Glitches===
[[File:Potion-ma-jig spoon glitch.png|thumb|And give it a little stir with this disappearing collector's spoon.]]
*A "hiccup" in the animation of the pot's bubbling occurs when the cartoon switches to one of the variables in the combination made.
*Part of the ''Jurassic Park III'' spoon disappears for a frame when Homestar pulls it out during the potion scene at the end.
*Unlike the other characters, Homsar shows scroll-over information during the finale Easter eggs even while the rest of the characters comment on their costumes. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.
*When The Cheat is clicked on at the end, Strong Bad's head changes size and his mouth closes a bit, and Homestar and Marzipan move slightly.
*When clicking on most of the characters that activate Easter Eggs at the end, Marzipan's mouth changes expression unexpectedly.
*When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.

*"Taco-Man" is the signature character of the website [http://www.ebolaworld.com Ebolaworld], which has used Homestar in cameos on more than one occasion.

*"THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT!" is a reference to the bank teller in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' for the [[Nintendo#Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]], who said it if you deposited more than fifty rupees all at once. This was the first game that Tingle appeared in, so it's quite appropriate.
*Homsar's line ("location, location, location") refers to the three most important things in [[Wikipedia:real estate|real estate]]. His costume character, Tingle, serves to help Link navigate by selling him maps in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
*Rose petal essence was an ingredient for the spell to turn into an eagle or fly in ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest III|King's Quest III]]''. Especially given this allusion, the whole premise of the cartoon is likely based on the formulaic combination of ingredients, stirring, and magic words required to perform the [http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/kings_quest_3.html spells] in King's Quest III.
*[http://www.hovan.com Hovan] is a restaurant chain in Florida and Georgia, located in mall food courts, that sell [[Wikipedia:Gyro|gyro-style]] wraps.
*Strong Bad mixes up the quote of his costume character, Jambi the Genie (from ''[[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-Wee's Playhouse]]''). The original quote is "Meka Leka Hi, Meka Hiney Ho!"
*Bubs's recommendation of "eye of newt" and "toe of frog" originated as magical ingredients in [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Tragedy_of_Macbeth/Act_IV Act IV, Scene 1, line 16] of [[Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]'', one of the most famous and influential depictions of witches in Western culture.
*Bubs's quote "Baby, you've got a [[witches' brew]] goin'" is a reference to the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]], portrays himself as extremely cheap, and sometimes comments that if certain leftover foods are combined, "Baby, you've got a stew goin'."
* Bubs's comment about "Stick and move! Stick and move!" is a reference to the advice Duke gave Apollo Creed in [[IMDb:0075148|the original Rocky movie]]. [http://www.filmsite.org/rock5.html]
*''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park III|Jurassic Park III]]'' is a movie in the ''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park|Jurassic Park]]'' series.
*[[wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]] was a movie actor and the 40th president of the United States. "Nancy" refers to his widow, [[wikipedia:Nancy Reagan|Nancy Reagan]]. [[Wikipedia:Jelly beans|Jelly beans]] were famously one of Reagan's favorite foods. Reagan was also known for usually starting his statements with the word "well." He was famous for his economic policies, called "[[Wikipedia:Reaganomics|Reaganomics]]." He also did have [[Wikipedia:List of presidential pets|pets]], among them a [[Wikipedia:Cavalier king charles spaniel|Cavalier King Charles Spaniel]] named [[Wikipedia:Rex (dog)|Rex]].
*"Keanu Reagan" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Keanu Reeves|Keanu Reeves]], an actor most famous for his roles in ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'', and the ''Matrix'' trilogy.
*Homestar's line "I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?" is a reference to the theme of many high school graduation speakers of "What will your epitaph say?"
*[[Wikipedia:Natalie Imbruglia|Natalie Imbruglia]] is an Australian-born singer and actress. However, Strong Sad and Marzipan both mispronounce her last name (the "g" is silent).
*"[[Wikipedia:Sara Lee|Sara Lee]]" is an American consumer-goods company and is also the brand name of a number of frozen and packaged foods, including cheesecake.
*Strong Sad's words as Homestar departs are taken from [[Wikipedia:Devo|Devo]]'s 1980 hit "Whip It."
*[[Wikipedia:Lando Calrissian|Lando Calrissian]] is a character from the ''[[George Lucas|Star Wars]]'' films, played by [[Billy Dee Williams]]. Some people (including, apparently, Homestar) mistakenly think that Lando and Apollo Creed were played by the same actor, but Apollo Creed was played by Carl Weathers. The "Master of Disaster" is one of Apollo Creed's titles from the Rocky movies.
*Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie; Sobchak even says the line, "I can get you a toe, with nail polish," as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf. "You're entering a world of pain" and "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom Pom by Homestar and Strong Mad respectively) were also repeated sayings of Sobchak's in the movie. Also, at one point in the movie Walter inappropriately draws a gun.
*[[wikipedia:Oliver Cromwell|Oliver Cromwell]] was a 17th century English military commander who became Lord Protector after leading the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Charles I.
*The surprisingly high jump The Cheat makes is the effect of getting hit by a shell, invincible character, etc., in the Nintendo 64 game ''[[Wikipedia:Mario Kart 64|Mario Kart 64]]'', in which the kart landed with a similar "POOMP". Also, the respective noises The Cheat makes sound very close to what Toad says when he wins a race ("I'm the best!") as well as Toad's cries when he has been hit.
*[[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]] was a popular sitcom about four elderly women living in Miami that originally aired on NBC. Blanche, played by [[wikipedia:Rue McClanahan |Rue McClanahan]], is one of the main characters of the show. Strong Bad mentioned them in [[helium]].
*The kick performed by Homestar while singing appears to be a side thrust kick, a karate kick which involves thrusting the foot out from the side to hit with the heel.

==DVD Version==
*The "CHOICE TIME!" sound effect plays after a choice is made.
*The Homsar Easter egg is enabled automatically.
*Homestar doesn't say or show the stuff he gathered, or drop them in the cauldron, nor does Marzipan say the magic words.
**Ironically, Homestar ''does'' say, "All right, so here's what I came up with."
*Homestar's transformation is now random.
*All of the ending Easter eggs play automatically. They are played in this order:
**Bubs
**Coach Z
**Marzipan
**Pom Pom
**Homestar Runner
**Strong Bad
**The Cheat
*The card displaying Homestar's ingredients has been revised so that it does not fully feature all of Homestar's ingredients gained. All it shows is what Homestar has gained in the scene he was in, as well as the object being displayed. The card scene is also a bit longer than usual.
*When played in "Play All", the ingredient choices are automatically picked, as is Homestar's transformation, which is into Cycloptic Homestar. Also, Homestar and Marzipan's dialogue about the potion ingredients (plus Homestar dropping the ingredients into the cauldron) are intact. The ingredients automatically picked are:
**'''Water''': Ghost Water
**'''Powder''': Powdered Thanksgiving
**'''Essence''': Essence of Putting Strong Mad's Hand in Warm Water while He's Asleep
**'''Stirring Utensil''': Terlet Brush
**'''Magic Words''': "Betta Ax Somebod-ay" (strangely enough, the card depicts the third option)
*You no longer have the option of seeing who is dressed up as who at the very end, like you do on the website.
*Instead of cutting to the group shot after the end title, it fades through black to the shot.

== Does sbemail206 need an "Email" prefix before it when referenced on the Wiki ==

A small inconsistency that's going on in this Wiki right now when adding references to this sbemail on other pages is that some include an "Email" prefix and some don't when internally linking to the sbemail206 article. Since it has sbemail in the name, does it need a prefix? There's been no real official or community stance on this and you can see a lot of instances of this on several pages.

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)

No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...

do some research

== I agree ==

These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners

What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!

Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning

How are we even sure that those even ''are'' boxing gloves? It said in one of the interviews that Strong Bad's face is a mask, and he doesn't hae anything underneath it. Maybe his boxing gloves ARE his hands. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I have an interesting theory. Since Strong Bad may or may not be human, indicated by his strange mask-take-off thing, I think he has hyper-reflexes and can type very fast Kindergarten-style one finger at a time. How else would he be able to type "Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-baddle!

== Age ==

I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.

*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.

With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.

:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)

Are you talking about the white and blue stripe that goes across the wall with a few zig-zags? If so, I think it's just meant to be a basic pattern. It's not any flag that I recognize, anyway. Hope that helps? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==

I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career. Do you think this deserves it's own page, an amendment to the current character bio, or just the throwaway mention it currently has? Just asking. <br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags. Hm. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::Stricken from the record. In face I won't even call it Hy****sy any more. We'll call it Josh. Ok, so would you favor just expanding the character bio more, or having it's own page that we could link stuff to? I would personally favor a new page simply because it's a slightly more complex issue than the standard bio. If someone wants to dig deep enough into the subject, they'll find a nice page waiting for them. But that's just me.<br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Mm—I'm not sure. I can see merits of both. (Of having a page because it would be easy to link to and because this does have the marks of a recurring phenomenon, if not an intentional gag; and of keeping it on this page just because we seem to be making new pages every day chronicling every instance of specific conceptual entities, and maybe we need to ease up on them.) I'm... hesitant. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Understandable. I must confess that I am guilty of creating a probably useless page, though it was fun to do, and far more efficient than just tacking it on to the page in question (specifically [[The Paper]]. See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about. However, I think this particular phenomenon merits closer study and categorization, just because I keep finding loose refernces to Strong Bad's spelling errors, and I'd like to have them corralled in one place. <br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 06:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

You have his ethnic prejudices on this page - they are minor if existant. I think that as long as that is there it is worty mentioning that he seems to be homophobic, based on his reactions to come-ons from Homestar and Brian (brianrietta). Don't you think this is worth mentioning?

I wrote
*Strong Bad's head moves around when he is speaking a lot more when he is facing away from the camera. This is true even when he [[Main Page 23|thinks he is facing the camera]].
This was reverted by Qermaq with the comment "I dunno. It's highly subjective, plus the animation demands make this kinda likely". I want to argue this, and the talk page is a better place to do it than edit summaries.<BR>
I don't see how that is highly subjective. Maybe a little subjective. It's pretty obvious in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], and Main Page 23. He doesn't move his head from side to side at all from the front, but he does it a lot from the back.<BR>
And I do know why it was done, but I just thought it was interesting. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
:The out-of-universe explanation is that TBC thought it would be easier and more interesting to animate Strong Bad's head for Strong Bad Emails, and doing so isn't necessary when he's facing the camera.

== TWO pictures? Which one?! ==

I was looking through [[Special:UnusedFiles]] to see if there was any pictures that I could add to the wiki, and one of them was [[:File:Strongbad.png|this]], which might be a good picture for the [[Strong Bad]] page.

[[File:Strongbad.png|The new one.|90px]]
[[File:currentbad.png|This one too.|100px]]

The unused one I found (left) is Strong Bad pointing to the camera (in an older design, his pants are more purple), and the one on the Strong Bad page (right) is just him standing normally. Should we use the new one, or keep the one we have now? Or maybe one could be on the [[Characters]] page and one could be on the [[Strong Bad]] page? Maybe? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 01:59, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Hm, what should we do about character gallery sub-pages? I'd just as soon not have them, but I know that will make someone mad. Do we add a gallery section to the page?

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)

No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...

do some research

== I agree ==

These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners

What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!

Ironically, so are both of you guys. As for StrongBad, He does not come from that game. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Boxing gloves? ==

Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning

How are we even sure that those even ''are'' boxing gloves? It said in one of the interviews that Strong Bad's face is a mask, and he doesn't hae anything underneath it. Maybe his boxing gloves ARE his hands. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:His boxing gloves are, in fact, his hands: [[some kinda robot]] {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:31, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::In [[some kinda robot]] this is proven. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
::He's right. That and in "New Hands". His face is a mask and his hands are Boxin' gloves. Yup...I'm gonna go start somethin on Sweet Cuppin' Cakes.Check it out.-Maarshmallow(Zaak)

I have an interesting theory. Since Strong Bad may or may not be human, indicated by his strange mask-take-off thing, I think he has hyper-reflexes and can type very fast Kindergarten-style one finger at a time. How else would he be able to type "Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-baddle! Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-baddle!" in sbemail [[death metal]] so fast and to the drum beat? --[[User:PsychicRadroach]] [[User:PsychicRadroach|PsychicRadroach]] 01:52, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
== Age ==

I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.

*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.

With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.

:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)

That's contradicts, not contadicts, and Strong Sad is much better than Strong Bad.

Whats yer problem,Mipsy?!?Strong Bad is TONS better than Strong Sad. Strong Sad is stupid and a bone figure wearin' a potato sack in "Ballad of the Sneak" and in "Highschool"'s Easter egg.Click on Roman Times on the last page of the e-mail to see him in a bag of Olives.

== Elvis Costello ==

A few days ago I was watching tv and came across a song that featured a man in boxing gloves typing on a typewriter this left me wondering if that song (I don' know the name of the song I just know it's from Elvis Costello) was the inspiration for strong bad.--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 08:07, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing.

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==

I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career.

Just asking. <br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags.

:::Mm—I'm not sure. I can see merits of both.

See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about.

You have his ethnic prejudices on this page - they are minor if existant. I think that as long as that is there it is worty mentioning that he seems to be homophobic, based on his reactions to come-ons from Homestar and Brian (brianrietta). Don't you think this is worth mentioning?

I don't see how that is highly subjective. Maybe a little subjective. It's pretty obvious in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], and Main Page 23. He doesn't move his head from side to side at all from the front, but he does it a lot from the back.<BR>

:::::::Ok. I think that we should change the search feature so that you dont have to type in ''excactly'' the page you want to get to in order to get to it. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 00:55, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::::And that's why we have a magical thing called redirects. i.e. if you wanted it so '''strong bad''' redirects to '''[[Strong Bad]]''' (which it does) you'd put <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Strong Bad]]</nowiki> on the '''strong bad page'''. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::If this is a new topic, this would be better posted at Talk:Main Page or Da Basement. If not, huh? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
(bringing this discussion back to earth...) Well, yes, but his question was answered with my reply, so... '-_- {{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:03, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering. I don't really care if Super Maryto Brother made the template page. It's okay with me. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 12:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

== SB fully closing his eye ==
Okay - does the unexpected wink in [[Field Day intro]] count as closing an eye fully? Just wondering, [[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 04:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:No. Part of his eye can still be seen. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 04:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::Does [[Jibblies 2]] count? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Um... whenever Stro Bo tries to close his eyes, you can still see little green slits.[[Chipwich]]

== Jim-jams ==

could it be added that SB, at some point, slept in "oh, I dunno, long V-neck undershirt with a pair of questionable tighty-whities underneath" be added to this article, like as a fun fact? -Shaggy

sorry, forgot to link. it's from "[[slumber party]]"

:I don't think this is relevant enough to be mentioned here. Strong Bad has worn [[Strong Bad Other Costumes|a lot of other customes]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

alright --[[User:Shaggy|Shaggy]] 02:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

==Winter pool mouth==
Should we post a photo of Strong Bad's weird mouth in [[winter pool]] {{User:Coach B/sig}}

== His walk ==

*I think that perhaps the way he walks (or at least used to walk) with his head held high is worthy of a mention somehow... [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 08:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== SB Robots article ==

Should we have a "Strong Bad Robots" article? Look at all the robots of SB. Grape Nuts, Animatronic, the one from tgs 12. It's an inside joke, or even a running gag. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 01:30, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

== Blinking ==

I just noticed that Strong Bad doesn't seem to have a blinking loop. Is that worth a mention, since (as far as I can tell) it isn't already? - [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
:Naw, because Homestar and Marzipan are the only characters who ''do'' blink regularly. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
::Fair enough. - [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 04:29, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

== Lighting ==
Shouldn't it be noted that Strong Bad always has window shines on his boxing gloves, even when he is not standing next to a window. Also, the shines go in different direction suggesting that there is windows on both sides of him, but there isn't. Just look at all his videos, when he's outside. [[User:The Pony man|The Pony man]] 01:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== Puppet Strong Bad ==

Why isn't Puppet Strong Bad listed in Variations? [[User:Coach z's cool|Coach z's cool]] 03:44, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:Well, there's an image with a link... What, that's not close enough? =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

== Super Powers ==
:''In [[super powers]], the blue diamond on his face was shown to give him the power to mentally pop the caps off of [[Cold One]]s (and of Homestar), and [[shapeshifter]] showed that he has powers to change form, though these seem to have been abandoned.''
What exactly makes [[super powers|some one-off jokes]] more notable than [[shapeshifter|other one-off jokes]]? Except for the possibility that no one could tell that the scene in question from the latter Email was not a dream, it's not clear to me what causes the difference in notability. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:Shapeshifter was crafted around the idea that the power was hypothetical, super powers was not. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.172|132.183.140.172]] 19:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::But if the power was hypothetical, how was Strong Bad able to use it in real life during the ending? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:47, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::It's a joke. Specifically, one of the one-off persuasion. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.172|132.183.140.172]] 19:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Also note that the paragraph in question is talking about SB's physical description. We mention superpowers because it's the only time the blue diamond on his forehead, a physical characteristic, has played a prominent role in the plot. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.172|132.183.140.172]] 19:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::The end of [[shapeshifter]] clearly showed Strong Bad using his power in the real H*R universe. I don't see what makes it less official than [[super powers]]. Yes, it did seem hypothetical at the beginning of the email, but all the other [[made-up real things]] seemed hypothetical at first too. Besides, it's never explicitly stated that the cutaway shots didn't happen. Either way, I removed the bit about the blue diamond power from the article as well, since it wasn't really integral to the description of the mask. I advocate putting info on both one-off super powers back in the article, preferably in their own paragraph. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:35, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::I didn't make it clear before, but I'm really of the opinion myself that both are too tangential to warrant being in SB's main biography. I'm satisfied with the article with them both removed and the diamond part repositioned. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.172|132.183.140.172]] 21:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I think of it as a Loony Tunes or Tom and Jerry cartoon. In one episode they're able to pull whatever they need from behind their back, and in another episode they can't. We know that Strong Bad can pop caps off, but him changing form at the end of shapeshifter seemed more like a joke that doesn't really change the storyline. I mean, remember when Homestar got sucked into The Horrible Painting for all of eternity? He's been in plenty of toons sense then. Or when Strong Bad was running around in Strong Sad's feet? Last time I checked Strong Sad still had both of them. So I think that The Diamond power is noteworthy, but I don't think the shapeshifter power is. {{User:Coach z's cool/sig}} 01:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Then it goes back to the question, what makes the blue diamond power more real? Bear in mind that it's at least arguable that everything we see in [[shapeshifter]] actually happens, not just the end. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::Well, Now that I watch it again, I don't know if either of these powers are notible. They both seem to Loony Tuneish to be real. {{unsigned|Coach z's cool|01:11, 12 March 2009}}

== Where the crudmuffin is Dangeresque in the variations section?!? ==

And don't say he's a major character or some baloney so he doesn't need to be there. He's just as important as old-timey Strong Bad and Stinkoman. --[[Special:Contributions/65.87.242.28|65.87.242.28]] 16:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
: "Variations" are alternate designs or separate characters based on the original. "Dangeresque" is just a role played by Strong Bad; no alternate design (unless you really want to count the sunglasses). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

== Push-Ups ==
Strong Bad says he used to be able to do at least four push-ups, but to me he looks a little fat, so i'd like to see him do at least one push-up. [[User:Fingerface|Fingerface]] 00:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== Accent ==

Hey Idk if anyone else saw that bonus email.. But I really do think That Strong Bad has lost his awsome-sauce Mexican accent. All in favor???? qqqq16-The New(b) {Pernounced quadruple q 16}
:Looking at the article, there doesn't seem to be any mention of his old accent or much about his voice at all. Perhaps this should be addressed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:09, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
::I agree with you guys, this article does need a mention at the least.--{{User:Platinum789hi/sig}} 19:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

== Fake Costumes ==

Shouldn't SB have a list of his "costumes" from the halloween teasers? {{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 20:43, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

==Character Infoboxes?==

Hey, I was just wondering: why not use "infoboxes" instead of a picture? It would inculde: an image/caption/aliases/occupation/voice actor etc. all in five (or so) boxes in one box, I thought it was a good idea, I see them all over Wikias, whadd'ya say?
PomstarPommer 5 December, 22:09pm, 2009 (UTC)

== 2 weeks? TEETH?? ==

I just thought of something. According to Strong Bad's skull in "Doomy Tales of the Macabre", Strong bad has no teeth. Has anyone here seen Strong Bad with teeth in anything, even something small? like, maybe in a deleted/ never put on the site clip? anything? [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]]
:As far as I know, Strong Bad has never shown any teeth. You're more than welcome to search for some, though. {{User:DENNIS/sig}} 14:06, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
::A ha! Found something, but one guy beat me to the punch. It says in the Goofs (I think?) on the "Death Metal" Page that Strong Bad ever mentioned him having teeth. Well.... It's a start. I just of something else! Again, according to SB's skull in "Doomy Tales of the Macabre", He has no teeth. What if his apricot colored mouth, IS his teeth?! Bleck! that's wierd to think of.... but, what if? i need some DEBATING, people! [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]]Jibblejibblejibble

== TWO pictures? Which one?! ==

I was looking through [[Special:UnusedFiles]] to see if there was any pictures that I could add to the wiki, and one of them was [[:File:Strongbad.png|this]], which might be a good picture for the [[Strong Bad]] page.

[[File:Strongbad.png|The new one.|90px]]
[[File:currentbad.png|This one too.|100px]]

The unused one I found (left) is Strong Bad pointing to the camera (in an older design, his pants are more purple), and the one on the Strong Bad page (right) is just him standing normally. Should we use the new one, or keep the one we have now? Or maybe one could be on the [[Characters]] page and one could be on the [[Strong Bad]] page? Maybe? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 01:59, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Compy, Inc.

PsychicRadroach — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 01:29:52 GMT

PsychicRadroach: I just added the Compy Phone into the paragraph about Compy products.

{{Infobox Company
|company_name=Compy Inc.
|image=[[Image:Compy_2.png|230px]]
|type=N/A
|headquarters=N/A
|products=Home Computers and Laptop Computers
|employees=N/A
|slogan=If it doesn't say Compy, it might not be a computer.

}}
'''Compy, Inc.''' is the name of the company that manufactures the [[Compy 386]], the [[Lappy 486]], the [[Compé]], the [[Roomy-Vac]], the [[Grampy Aught-Six]], the [[Lappier]], the Compy Phone and probably the [[Population: Tire|Compydore 64]].

The name probably has multiple real-world references. The loading screen for the game [[Population: Tire|Population: Tire]] indicates a parody of [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore International]]. The name "Compy" and the overall look of the computer itself is somewhat evocative of [[Wikipedia:Compaq|Compaq Computer Corporation]], which happened to produce a Compaq 386. The logo is reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:IBM|IBM]] logo.

Also, the 80386 and 80486 (commonly just called the 386 and 486) were early Intel processors, another reference to Strong Bad's preference for older technology.
