== Preview Transcript ==
''{The screen shows "On the next episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" and cuts to a closeup of Strong Bad's face as he holds a microphone, while microphone feedback is heard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling into the microphone}'' Alllllll right, expensive ticket holders!

''{Cut to The Cheat on a set of drums, then back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you ready to be musically, sonically...

''{Cut to Strong Mad playing a bass guitar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and if all goes according to plan...

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...PHYSICALLY assaulted?!!

''{Cut out to see that Strong Bad's band was seen atop Bubs' Concession Stand. The music stops suddenly; only a howling wind is heard in the background. Homestar watches from the ground}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boooo...

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, tough crowd.

''{Cut to a gray background, showing the word BADDEST written in Metallica-type font. Strong Bad's boxing glove-clad hand is then seen adding a strip of red label tape to the bottom of the word displaying the remainder of the title, OF THE BANDS, on it. Then the usual message, "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People — New episode every month!", is featured. Cut to [[The Brick Wall]], and Bubs, The Cheat and Coach Z standing in front of it. Bubs and Coach Z each [[Kicking The Cheat|kick The Cheat]] back and forth between them.}

'''COACH Z:''' ''{rapping}'' 
My name is Coach Z, 
And Bubs is my cohort. 
Put on your Cheat kickers, 
And let's kick-a The Chort!

== Fun Facts ==

===Glitches===
====Wii Version====
*In extended play, continuing to use the "Do the Wigglie" record on Pom Pom's turntable will earn you each Limozeen manual cover one after another. 

===Inside References===
*This is another appearance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*Strong Bad refers to his FunMachine as [[Senor]] FunMachine.
*Strong Sad has a [[Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit|Hollerin' Jimmy's Bat Hutch]] and a [[West Is Lip]] poster in his room.

===Real-World References===
*The performance on the rooftop could be modeled after [[The Beatles]]' final public performance.
*The name "Bat-Aid" is a play on the band [[Wikipedia:Band Aid (band)|Band Aid]].
*Bubs refers to Coach Z as the "Thin Green Duke", a reference to David Bowie's persona The Thin White Duke.

==Shalom==

I decided to make this cause everyone else here has one.

==My Views on Homestarrunner==

The greatest thing the internet has created. Homestar Runner is easily one of the greatest cartoon ever. I love everything on the site.

My only other complaint is that Matt and Mike need to hire some grunt to do the basic tedious animation (Strong Bad typing) and make more cartoons!

==What in the Pizz is a Ricky Fighter?==

Tag Team Wrestling's other tag team duo. Because I lack originality I just named myself after a fact that only someone who reads the wiki would know of.

==My Contributions==
To be made.

Happy 8600

Ricky Fighter — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:26:00 GMT

Ricky Fighter: Added SBcomputer template

[[Image:Happy8600.png|thumb|Happy 8600: Homestar Runner's Laptop.]]
Happy 8600 is the Laptop that [[Homestar Runner]] uses in [[email thunder]]. Strong Bad liberally applies a 10-liter bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] to the "Happy", with spectacular results.

==Quick Facts==
'''Debut:''' First seen in the email "email thunder".

'''[[Font]]:''' Green Screen

'''Emails checked on the computer so far:''' At least 50

==Colors==
'''Black:''' Background color

'''White:''' Text color

==Programs==

'''hremail''' — though the actual program name is unknown

==Concept==
The Happy 8600 is modeled after an XO-1, an inexpensive model distributed as part of the One Laptop Per Child project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Ironically, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.

==Fun Facts==
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] signed a XO-1 laptop at [[ROFLCon - 26 Apr 2008|ROFLCon]] that was later [http://breadpig.com/blog/?p=30 auctioned for charity].

'''Running Time:''' 5:10

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finishing the song}'' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go!

''{pulls up the email, but doesen't read it}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duh-duh-duh-Dear ''Homestar''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does and he grabs it.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' B'oyah! ''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here that answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked about burglars breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with an "A" as in "ham", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera whips to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. "Apply libewally!" Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The term "Stealing One's Thunder" (from which the title is derived) is used in situations wherein one person is associated with hoopla stemming from the efforts of another person. In this case, sbemail #200 was intended to be for Strong Bad, but the email itself was addressed to Homestar Runner, who would therefore be recognized as the recipient of the 200th email.

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#duck pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by [[the Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*This is the only time we actually hear the Poopsmith talk. 
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing was not there when Strong Bad said "email thunder". These were added later.

===Remarks===
*When the Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.
*Homestar recalling two real emails and one fake one may reference [[personal favorites]], in which Strong Bad did the same.

===Goofs===
*In the clip from [[long pants]], the words that are on the screen are one line lower than they should be.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelled "sibby".

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
**Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating Homestar's accent. He then [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down.
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 9, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays the [[Instruments|flute]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "[[draw Trogdor again]]."
*Strong Bad's signs his email to Homestar with the catchphrase "Sewiously", in the same vein as emails he received signed "[[Crapfully yours]]".
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]].
*"Squeazeled" and "cavalanche" are [[portmanteau|portmanteaus]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an acronym for "What the Crap?", recalling "[[Holy Crap]]", which was Strong Bad's favorite saying before it was overused by emailers.

==My Views on Homestarrunner==

The greatest thing the internet has created. Homestar Runner is easily one of the greatest cartoon ever. I love everything on the site.

My only other complaint is that Matt and Mike need to hire some grunt to do the basic tedious animation (Strong Bad typing) and make more cartoons! And for the love of God, we need more Powered By The Cheat and even more Podcast Runner.

==What in the Pizz is a Ricky Fighter?==

Tag Team Wrestling's other tag team duo. Because I lack originality I just named myself after a fact that only someone who reads the wiki would know of.

To be made.

==Transcript==
''{The cover page of the Original Book appears. The book opens to the first page.}''

''{Homestar Runner changes into his modern form, and the old background is replaced by The Field. A record scratch noise is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody loves the me! I'm a terrific athlete!

''{Pom Pom enters and pulls out a flier}''

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A strongest man in the world contest? ''{pan to a closeup of Homestar Runner}'' Oh, sweet dog, you know I'm all over it.

''{Pan to the gymnasium, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are wearing aerobic gear and lifting weights. The training music from [[montage]] is playing in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extra-size, Pom Pom! Lemme see ya pour on that extra sauce! That strangest man in the world contest ain't gonna win itself!

''{Pan to a scene of the setting sun. Silhouettes of Homestar Runner and Pom Pom jump up and high five each other.}''

'''SINGER:''' Showdown!

''{Fade out. Cut back to the Field, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are walking to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, Pom Pom, I feel great! I feel fresh as a bagel! I bet I could lift fifty stringiest man in the world contests!

''{They approach a sign pointing the way to the contest, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are waiting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, The Cheat! If it isn't the big, fat, yellow blob and Pom Pom!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' W— wait. ''{closer closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' You— wait. ''{another closeup}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' Wait—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme break it down for you like this: I am the very strongest. While on the other hand, inversely, you guys are ''not'' very strong!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry, loud bubble noises}''

''{Strong Bad reacts in surprise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Pom Pom! Let's tone down the language before the contest, huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat. We'd better go start signing autographs. There's a pretty big line building up over there. ''{exits with The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking determined}'' Come on, Pom Pom! Let's go get Strong Bad's autograph!

''{Pom Pom gives Homestar an annoyed look, but Homestar doesn't notice.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hear there's a pretty big line building up.

''{Cheering voices over momentarily before cutting to a banner reading "Strongest Man In The World Contest".}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover over microphone}'' Ladies and gentlemen, you can ''not'' be ready for the ''{pan down to show The Announcer}'' Strongest Man In The World Contest!

''{He flips the microphone from one hand to the other.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's meet our smokin' hot contestants!

''{Cut to a darkened scene with a silhouette of Mr. Bland and disco lights in the background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Hailing from the middle of the road, the prince of plain, the master of mundane, it's ''{spotlight turns on}'' Mr. Bland!

''{Cut to a beige background of panning cubes and "mr. bland" scrolls to the right. Mr. Bland strikes an action pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And next, our returning champion, the walking—

''{Cut to a similar disco lights scene with The Robot in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —metal robot... The Robot!

''{A spotlight shines on The Robot and he waves. A blue background of screws and hex nuts pans in, and "The Robot" appears while The Robot holds a waving pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And from Foreign Lands, the foreign man:

''{Cut back to the disco scene, now with Señor in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Señor Ha-Ha-Ha-Havin' A Little Trouble!

''{A brown background of beans pans in, and "Señor" appears while Señor strikes an action pose.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And...

''{Cut to silhouettes of Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner, whose respective spotlights turn on as their names are mentioned.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quickly}'' Pom-Pom-Strong-Bad-and-Homestar.

''{Homestar looks surprised. Cut back to The Announcer. The scene is bright again.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Grape Fairie! Hit me with da rules!

''{Pan up to The Grape Fairie riding his bee. He makes a scroll appear that reads "Rules".}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' ''{in a Bronx accent}'' All right, youze ''{incomprehensible}'' brains, listen up smart. I start yas each off with like twenty grapes.

''{A pile of [[grapes]] takes the place of the floating scroll.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Then I adds one at a time.

''{A grape appears above the pile.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' The bum what holds the most grapes —

''{A golden bowl-shaped trophy appears in place of the grapes.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' — wins this gold bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen; sounds impressed}'' Dang, Pom Pom, you see that golbol? ''{zooms in on "golbol"}'' That's a nice golbol.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's get this over with!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Ollzy oop. ''{zaps a pile of grapes on top of the contestants}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' ''{speaking monotone}'' Okay.... This is going really well.

''{The pile of grapes crushes Mr. Bland.}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' Oh.

''{Cut to silhoettes of everyone on a yellow background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Down goes Bland!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Ka-bu op! ''{pings a single grape over each contestant}''

''{Cut to Señor, impossibly balancing the entire pile on one hand.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' Oh, no, boy. I havin' a little trouble!

''{The pile falls on Señor, accompanied by the word "Sblounskched!" and the sound of a bowling ball hitting some pins. He sticks his arm out of the grapes.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' I still alive!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat, with Pom Pom in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I hear our friend The Robot is about to do a set of his acoustic numbers. Or should I say, unplugged?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises, salutes}''

''{The Cheat slides to the feet of The Robot, who is apparently plugged into an outlet on a very small section of wall out of nowhere.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{looks around, unplugs The Robot's cord, and slides away}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to The Robot, who shuts down and drops the pile of grapes. General sad "Aw"s among the crowd are heard as the eyes of The Robot disappear slowly.}''

''{Cut to Homestar, whose grapes appear to be floating in mid-air, due to his lack of visible arms.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around}'' Did nobody just see that?! Judge? Fairie? Giant bee?

''{Cut to The Grape Fairie and The Announcer, who are admiring the bowl and not paying attention to the contest.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Wilson gave me the golbol in my hands in 1974.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Really quite an impressive bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Hellooo?

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Oh. Right.

''{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Crazy eights! ''{poofs another grape on top of everyone}''

''{Strong Bad begins to lose his grip on the grapes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat? Big help here! Big help!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.... Even it out there on the south side.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump her up.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously. At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat! ''{drops his grapes; walks over to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'' Could I just borrow this a second? ''{grabs The Cheat}''

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

''{Homestar kicks The Cheat about his feet like a footbag, then does a slow-motion flip and bicycle kicks The Cheat off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wobbling, melodramatically}'' Oh-nooo!

''{Strong Bad drops a couple of grapes, then the entire pile crushes him. The action-pose scene appears, this time with a green grapes background, "squished bad", and Strong Bad under his pile of grapes.}''

''{Cut to Pom Pom}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pom Pom wins!

''{Pom Pom winks; a record scratch sounds, cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what?!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, still buried.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh.... These grapes are succulently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! ''{The pile of grapes begins to collapse as Strong Bad eats it}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the trophy.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously, Pom Pom. Gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises, pulls the trophy back a bit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's great. But I still won. I sportsmanliked everybody! Now gimme the golbol!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, fine. You can give it to me for my birthday. Now check out my victory dance! Huhyayayayaaa!

''{Homestar crosses his left leg over his right and jumps into the air. The Grape Fairie and the Fat Bee enter from the upper right, the announcer from the lower left. Pom Pom jumps in the air holding the trophy. The scene fades into the last page of the Original Book with "1996-2006" written across the upper left. The ending also provides a link to the original book.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Strongestmanintheworld_sbautographhq.jpg|thumb|Dare to Dream!]]
*Clicking on the [[Contest]] sign when Homestar mentions getting Strong Bad's autograph will show a picture of said autograph, on which is written:
<blockquote>homestar, 
dare to dream! believe in yourself 
and you can achieve anything!! 
your pal 
Strond Ba.... 
wait a sec, 
2nd try: 
homestar, 
you're 
a butt. 
''Strong'' 
''Bad''</blockquote>

*Clicking the [[trophy]] at the end shows a shot of it (captioned "GOLBOL") in the same style as the ones shown when Mr. Bland, The Robot, Señor, and later "Squished Bad" are introduced. The [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] logo is shown in the background.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Unplugged" is a term popularized by [[Wikipedia:MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] and is used to refer to [[Wikipedia:Acoustic music|acoustic music]].
*Señor is the Spanish translation for "Mr.", explaining his accent.

===Trivia===
*The [[main page message]] for this toon read "10 years!".
*This toon is the first time the Grape Fairie, Mr. Bland, and Señor are given voices.
*Despite its attempt, this toon's page title is not the longest one of the website. [[Shopping for Danger]]'s page title "Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!" surpasses it by five characters. They are, however, both 19 syllables long.
*Señor's full name was coined in [[origins]].
*When Homestar [[Kicking The Cheat|kicks The Cheat]], he is utilizing a skill known as juggling, which is usually done with soccer balls or [[wikipedia:Footbag|footbags]] (commonly known as Hacky Sacks).

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his [[Wikipedia:Five o'clock shadow|five o'clock shadow]] disappears with it.
*Señor holds his pile of grapes on one side with the other half of the pile floating in mid-air. In the original book, he was holding the grapes with his right hand rather than his left.
*The way the grapes fall on Strong Bad, he should be lying on his stomach since he was holding the pile behind his head. However in the action scene, "squished bad," Strong Bad is shown lying on his back so that he could eat them in the next scene.
**Also, in the Original Story, when it shows Strong Bad squished under the pile of grapes, he was laying on his back.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.
*The characters are spotlighted, although there doesn't seem to be any place for there to be spotlights in the sky.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.
* In the silhouette scene following Mr. Bland's loss, the grapes are actually floating above Pom Pom. However, this could just be in keeping with the original book, which has a similar silhouette scene.
*The first page says "Every''one'' loves The Homestar Runner..." instead of "Every''body'' loves The Homestar Runner...", which would have been the correct quotation from the original book.
*Strong Bad has no purple reflection on his pants, like his [[Strong Bad Evolution|fifth design]].
*When the screen darkens and the strobe lights appear, the ones that shine on the bushes in the background do not light up the ground directly below the bushes.
**Also, the lights do not deform to the depths of the bushes, although they could be 2 dimensional.

===Inside References===
*The music heard in the background when Señor is "having a little trouble" is the same music heard in the email [[car]] when Homestar is "deleted" by Strong Bad.
*When Señor gets squished, the [[onomatopoeia]] used is "[[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|Sblounskched!]]", the name of Strong Bad's candy bar.
*The song during the training scene is "[[Songs#from Strong Bad Emails|Showdown]]" from [[montage]], except with vocals by someone who sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]].
*The outfit Homestar wears during the training scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].
*The autographed picture of Strong Bad in the Easter egg is the same as the one that Strong Bad gives to his "main man" Van Mundegaarde in [[2 years]].
*One of the [[sound effects]] that plays when the Robot gets unplugged is the loading sound from [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] and [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar's first speaking line and The Robot being introduced as such are examples of the [[integral article]].
*The ending music is the remix of the [[Old Intro|old intro music]], which is also heard at the end of [[flashback]] and can also be heard on [[Main Page 20]].
*The Announcer's introduction of Señor suggests that he is a resident of [[Far Off Lands|Foreign Lands]], the same place [[Thomas]] is said to be from.
*Pom Pom also winks in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], just before he gets hit by Strong Mad.
*It can be assumed from Homestar's "Let's tone down the language" line that when Strong Bad calls Pom Pom and Homestar "not very strong", Pom Pom replies using [[swears]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mookie Wilson|Mookie Wilson]] is a former [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]] outfielder who played with the [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] from 1980 to 1989. The Mets' logo is shown in the background of the Easter egg.
*[[Wikipedia:Crazy Eights|Crazy Eights]] is a card game in which two players try to get rid of all their cards by discarding a card with the same number or suit as the previous card played. In this game, eights are wild.
*Homestar's aerobic outfit is similar to the ones [[Wikipedia:Jane Fonda|Jane Fonda]] wore when making her workout videos in the 1980s.
*The Grape Fairie's "Ollzy Oop!" is a distortion of the phrase [[Wikipedia:Alley Oop|Alley Oop]], which is a play in basketball where the ball is thrown up near the basket by a teammate, and another teammate dunks the ball in to score.


===Fast Forward===
*The music during the introduction of Mr. Bland, The Robot, and Señor is recycled in the [[Tito]] scene of [[more armies]].

Floppy Disk Container

Ricky Fighter — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 19:29:17 GMT

Ricky Fighter: Fixed up Heart of China

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest game that he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear) and most are obscure titles from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been mostly replaced by compact discs and USB flash drives. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many modern computers replace the floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader.

Ricky Fighter: Added Heart of China.

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest game that he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear) and most are obscure titles from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.

Originally released by Lightning Software in 1981, later versions were made for the Apple IIe and IIc. "Learn to type by playing a game; simple and ingenious." When the Apple IIc appeared on the scene, the game was updated to teach typing on the optional [[Wikipedia:Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard|Dvorak]] keyboard layout. The scenario used here involved a wizard standing on a planet with satellites or space ships slowly approaching from four directions. Each object had a word on it; the player had to type the word and press the space bar to fire a "zap" at the object. If it got too close, the word had to be typed twice. The IIc version used double hi-res graphics, and both versions allowed the user to set up a personal vocabulary on which to practice. || [http://apple2history.org/history/appy/aha81.html Apple2History.org]
