==Transcript==

''{Open to a shiny red background. A King of Town emblem appears on the screen. As the singers sing, the words "Very Own Popular Cartoon" appear below the KOT head. The KOT head moves to the music a little.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The words "The King of Town's" appear above the KOT emblem.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The word "Quite" is written between "Own" and "Popular", and "Show!!" is inserted after "Cartoon". The music stops.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Let the King have some!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quick voiceover as the screen darkens}'' The King of Town's Very Own Popular Cartoon Show will not be seen this week. Instead we bring you: Strong Bad's very popular cartoon show, already in progress.

''{Cut to the Lappy with the email already displayed. We join the scene as Strong Bad says "rong Bad..."}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.<br />
If so, what was it like?<br />
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just got...

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the ever-loving style out of it! Now listen close to my master-dly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperon! ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is ''terberile''!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well maybe I ''will'' keep telling myself that!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===

*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced). Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show|thumb|right]]
*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon".
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
*The label on the disk in the Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]] six years ago.
*This is the first appearance of the Strong Sadstronaut, previously seen only in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
* "The King of Town's Popular Cartoon Show" is another case of the King of Town trying to appear cool and popular.
* In this email, Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend's]] name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-05-04|Quote of the Week]], it was spelled "Delelilia".

===Goofs===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.
*As Homestar dances, his left foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes some references to [[Robots|robots]].
*This email makes references both [[Homestar's Pants]] and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Dance from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "Goo Goo G'Joob".
*"Summat" is regional English slang for "something."
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Exploration Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*[[All the King's Men!]] is a reference to the nursery rhyme [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]] and likely to the band [[Wikipedia:The Kingsmen|The Kingsmen]] as well.

[[Image:Podstar.PNG|thumb|"What am I doing in this tiny box?"]]
'''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] [[Wikipedia:IPod|iPod]], in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. It was originally a collection of [[Strong Bad Email]]s, but on March 6, 2006 they added [[Teen Girl Squad]] and called it ''Teen Girl Squadcast''. As of April 24, 2006 the first seven Teen Girl Squad episodes have been released. On April 12, 2006, they added [[Everybody to the Limit]] and are probably planning to add more [[Toons|toons]] in the future.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:SBEmail in iTunes 2.PNG|thumb|Podstar Runner podcast]]
===Trivia===
*The label on the floppy disk is unreadable, but there are [[Floppy Disk Container#podstar floppy|several possibilities]].
*The podcast "Strong Bad Email" became #1 on February 20, 2006.
*The podcast "Strong Bad Emails & More!" became #1 on April 6, 2006.
*The podcast was featured on the Podcasts main page on iTunes in the "New and Notable" section on February 19, 2006.
*Around March 5, 2006, the name of the podcast changed from "Strong Bad Email" to "Strong Bad Emails and More!" due to the addition of the Teen Girl Squadcast.
*The battery meter in the intro for the Strong Bad Emails is relatively full, while the hand-drawn intro for Teen Girl Squadcast's battery meter is almost empty.

===Remarks===

*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the Easter eggs from the original versions of the Emails are present.
**All the Easter eggs in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] issues are present, and play automatically.
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!." This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcast through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast. On March 5, 2006, it was changed to "teen girl squadcast!" in response to the new feature.
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to the "Flash file" level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]]. There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies. Furthermore, on the dry T-shirt flyer, the [[Fonts|font]] Snap ITC has been replaced with what appears to be Arial.
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up; incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
*The filename for dragon is "[[Trogdor|trogdor]]," not "dragon."
*Due to the size and resolution of the iPod's screen, [[virus]]'s Navbar is removed, and its "widescreen" effects removed by [[Wikipedia:Pan and scan|pan and scan]].
*On February 27, 2006, Podstar Runner ceased downloads of all the previously available Strong Bad Emails and only allowed downloads of the most recent Podcast. A notice on the page read "due to bandwidth doodoo, we're doing one at a time for now." It was fixed on March 3, 2006, and all the emails could be downloaded again.
*Even though [[Everybody to the Limit]] is not a Strong Bad Email, it is played with the email intro and ending.

===Goofs===

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

===Glitches===
[[Image:Two podcasts.PNG|thumb|Two podcasts]]
*Due to the use of [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]] in the navbar (and depending on the browser), clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page will sometimes work correctly but will sometimes take you to a nonexistent page beginning with ''<nowiki>http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/</nowiki>'', with the [[Store]] being the only exception.

===Fixed Glitches===
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
*There used to be two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps." Noticeably different between the two was the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast. The podcast by Strong Bad has since been removed.
*When Guitar was released, all the e-mail links became the same, all leading to the guitar e-mail file. Now they have reverted back to the separate names.
*When montage was released, the link to download montage was incorrect in the XML feed, which pointed to "sb_email_motage.m4v" instead of "sb_email_mo'''n'''tage.m4v", leaving users temporarily unable to download montage through iTunes. This was fixed the day after.

===Inside References===

*The page title refers to the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] of [[rampage]].
*The description for personal favorites reflects how TBC often get questioned about the existence of the emails.

[[Image:Podstar.PNG|thumb|"What am I doing in this tiny box?"]]
'''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] [[Wikipedia:IPod|iPod]], in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. It was originally a collection of [[Strong Bad Email]]s, but on March 6, 2006 they added [[Teen Girl Squad]] and called it ''Teen Girl Squadcast''. As of April 24, 2006 the first seven Teen Girl Squad episodes have been released. On April 12, 2006, they added [[Everybody to the Limit]] and are probably planning to add more [[Toons|toons]] in the future.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:SBEmail in iTunes 2.PNG|thumb|Podstar Runner podcast]]
===Trivia===
*The label on the floppy disk is unreadable, but there are [[Floppy Disk Container#podstar floppy|several possibilities]].
*The podcast "Strong Bad Email" became #1 on February 20, 2006.
*The podcast "Strong Bad Emails & More!" became #1 on April 6, 2006.
*The podcast was featured on the Podcasts main page on iTunes in the "New and Notable" section on February 19, 2006.
*Around March 5, 2006, the name of the podcast changed from "Strong Bad Email" to "Strong Bad Emails and More!" due to the addition of the Teen Girl Squadcast.
*The battery meter in the intro for the Strong Bad Emails is relatively full, while the hand-drawn intro for Teen Girl Squadcast's battery meter is almost empty.

===Remarks===

*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the Easter eggs from the original versions of the Emails are present.
**All the Easter eggs in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] issues are present, and play automatically.
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!." This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcast through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast. On March 5, 2006, it was changed to "teen girl squadcast!" in response to the new feature.
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to the "Flash file" level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]]. There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies. Furthermore, on the dry T-shirt flyer, the [[Fonts|font]] Snap ITC has been replaced with what appears to be Arial.
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up; incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
*The filename for dragon is "[[Trogdor|trogdor]]," not "dragon."
*Due to the size and resolution of the iPod's screen, [[virus]]'s Navbar is removed, and its "widescreen" effects removed by [[Wikipedia:Pan and scan|pan and scan]].
*On February 27, 2006, Podstar Runner ceased downloads of all the previously available Strong Bad Emails and only allowed downloads of the most recent Podcast. A notice on the page read "due to bandwidth doodoo, we're doing one at a time for now." It was fixed on March 3, 2006, and all the emails could be downloaded again.
*Even though [[Everybody to the Limit]] is not a Strong Bad Email, it is played with the email intro and ending.

===Goofs===

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

===Glitches===
[[Image:Two podcasts.PNG|thumb|Two podcasts]]
*Due to the use of [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]] in the navbar (and depending on the browser), clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page will sometimes work correctly but will sometimes take you to a nonexistent page beginning with ''<nowiki>http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/</nowiki>'', with the [[Store]] being the only exception.

===Fixed Glitches===
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
*There used to be two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps." Noticeably different between the two was the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast. The podcast by Strong Bad has since been removed.
*When Guitar was released, all the e-mail links became the same, all leading to the guitar e-mail file. Now they have reverted back to the separate names.
*When montage was released, the link to download montage was incorrect in the XML feed, which pointed to "sb_email_motage.m4v" instead of "sb_email_mo'''n'''tage.m4v", leaving users temporarily unable to download montage through iTunes. This was fixed the day after.

===Inside References===

*The page title refers to the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] of [[rampage]].
*The description for personal favorites reflects how TBC often get questioned about the existence of the emails.

==Transcript==
''{Open to a shiny red background. A King of Town emblem appears on the screen. As the singers sing, the words "Very Own Popular Cartoon" appear below the KOT head. The KOT head moves to the music a little.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The words "The King of Town's" appear above the KOT emblem.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The word "Quite" is written between "Own" and "Popular", and "Show!!" is inserted after "Cartoon". The music stops.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Let the King have some!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quick voiceover as the screen darkens}'' The King of Town's Very Own Popular Cartoon Show will not be seen this week. Instead we bring you: Strong Bad's very popular cartoon show, already in progress.

''{Cut to the Lappy with the email already displayed. We join the scene as Strong Bad says "rong Bad..."}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.<br />
If so, what was it like?<br />
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the [[Floppy Disk Container]] side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.

''{Cut to a closeup of the alarm clock. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [http://m-w.com/dictionary/dickey dickey] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperone ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center seperating Homestar Runner and Marzipan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of [[Nebulon]] and [[The Moon]].}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows her bangs up with her breath}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{possibly; offscreen}'' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to the Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on WA when Strong Bad says "Walrus Association" to see a business card for the Walrus Association:
<blockquote>Matt M.<br>
Walrus Association<br>
<br>
Phone: 555-TUSQ<br>
Mobile: GIMME A WEEK OR SO<br>
<br>
"Koo koo ka-choo or summat"</blockquote>
*Click on "senor prom" to see a photo of an ice sculpture of [[Senor Cardgage]]. It has "senor prom 95'" written on it.
*At the end, click on "Delilelia" to see the actual beginning of the email.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing''} Can you see that I've got email styles, c'mon c'mon, can you see that I've got email styles?<br> Dear Str-
*Click on "Coppafeel" at the end to see a conversation with Homestar Runner and Pom Pom.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. My pants got so poofed away at the prom this year. So I was wearing all these types of long pants, and they just got poofed away. So embarrasing.
:'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well maybe I will keep telling myself that!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Trivia===

*The filename for the HTML page is not the expected "sbemail151", but rather "kotpoptoon".
**However, the filename for the SWF Flash file is the expected "sbemail151.swf".
**To add to the illusion, the note on the main page said "King of Town Toon!"
**This is because of a prank played by the Brothers Chaps. The email was announced on the main page as a new toon.
*This is the first time we see The Cheat with his arms folded.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container|Floppy Disk Container]] says ''Broderbund Classics''.

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "underwears."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad compares the audience to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is probably referring to real [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. (However, this may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory.")

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage easter egg.
*Coach Z was first seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.
*[[The Moon]] on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*This is another reference to [[Homestar's Pants]].
*The robot on Mars is a reference to [[autobiography]].
*"Mashing go/play" on something is seen in [[Everybody Knows It]], [[flashback]], [[alternate universe]], and the introduction to [[strongbad_email.exe_Disc_One|Disc One]] of [[strongbad_email.exe]]
*This is another reference to [[Robots|robots]].
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't completely proven that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
**The name "David Coppafeel" is a common allusion to "copping a feel", or more generally, [[Making Out|making out]].
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "Goo Goo Ga Joob".
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.

''{The words "The King of Town's" appear above the KOT emblem.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The word "Quite" is written between "Own" and "Popular", and "Show!!" is inserted after "Cartoon". The music stops.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Let the King have some!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quick voiceover as the screen darkens}'' The King of Town's Very Own Popular Cartoon Show will not be seen this week. Instead we bring you: Strong Bad's very popular cartoon show, already in progress.

''{Cut to the Lappy with the email already displayed. We join the scene as Strong Bad says "rong Bad..."}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.<br />
If so, what was it like?<br />
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the [[Floppy Disk Container]] side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.

''{Cut to a closeup of the alarm clock. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [http://m-w.com/dictionary/dickey dickey] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperone ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center seperating Homestar Runner and Marzipan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of [[Nebulon]] and [[The Moon]].}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows her bangs up with her breath}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{possibly; offscreen}'' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to the Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

===Trivia===

*The filename for the HTML page is not the expected "sbemail151", but rather "kotpoptoon".
**However, the filename for the SWF Flash file is the expected "sbemail151.swf".
**To add to the illusion, the note on the main page said "King of Town Toon!"
**This is because of a prank played by the Brothers Chaps. The email was announced on the main page as a new toon.
*This is the first time we see The Cheat with his arms folded.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container|Floppy Disk Container]] says ''Broderbund Classics''.

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "underwears."
*If an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, he is most likely referring to ''okra'', a vegetable commonly associated with the elderly.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad compares the audience to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is probably referring to real [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. (However, this may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory.")

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage easter egg.

*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.<br />
If so, what was it like?<br />
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, crashed ''{"crashed" is italicized}'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the [[Floppy Disk Container]] side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot. ''{puts glove over face and makes a funny voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Eli..lilia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you. I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{stops the voice but continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh.. That little robot stuck in the sand again. I guess I don't have a date for the dance. ''{normal voice}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fades to black and then zooms in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum. The drum fades out to the band on stage.}''

''{A banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" is shown, then it pans down to Homestar and Marzipan in formal dress on the gym floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh.. Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a tux thing and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles the Listerine onto the ground.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperone ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Screen abruptly turns black there is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! David!

{fades back to the prom with Strong Bad, Strong Mad and the Cheat in the center}

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I ripped off this button ''{Cuts to show Strong Bad's hand holding a remote control with a big red button labeled 'GO!'}'' so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?
{presses button, a buzzer sounds}

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

{cuts to everyone's pants area, ending on Strong Bad's pants. The only pants of the bunch.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants? {pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them}

'''VOICEOVER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{cut to [[Nebulon]] and the moon, in cut-out form}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom. ''{The words appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' And your Prom Queen is... {cut to Marzipan} Strong Bad with no pants on! {applause}

''{Cut back to Homestar. Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight! ''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards.}''

{cut to Marzipan}

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{Blows her bangs up with her breath}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{deeply}'' Oooh Yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to the Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders}''

''{Cuts back to Strong Bad at the lappy, typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Pans out to see the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

{cuts back to the Lappy and the paper comes down}

Floppy Disk Container

RobotMachine — Wed, 03 May 2006 14:01:58 GMT

RobotMachine:

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits to the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer. It shows the latest game he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in many of their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs appearances of the Floppy Disk Container, with screenshots, the toon or emails where it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about the game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games and mostly obscure ones 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.

The 5.25 inch disks are what gave both kinds of disk the title 'floppy', as you could easily bend the disks, enough to nearly fold them over without them breaking. They were replaced by the 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990's, which have been mostly replaced by the compact disc. The 3.5 disks still survive by being rewritable, and are therefore used for transferring very small files. They have been replaced by the compact disc and USB flash drive. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many computers replace the Floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader. || [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk Wiki] [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Here] [http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Here] [http://www.douglasmedia.com/prod8.html Here]

It also has features including player drafting, training schedule, sponsor and finances, and formation selections. Fatigue even plays a big role in the matches' outcome.

The concept for Marble Craze arose from those wooden games that have two knobs used to tilt a board, rolling a marble through a maze in an attempt to avoid the holes. To properly simulate one of these games, both paddle controllers are utilized, one to control the vertical movement and the other to control horizontal movement. A simultaneous two-player mode is also available. || [http://www.atariage.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=99 Here] [http://qotile.net/marble.html Here]

You play the role of a trained master Karateka and have to rescue the princess Mariko from the evil Akuma, who lives in a castle, well-guarded by innumerable fighters. With smooth, realistic graphics that were ahead of its time, it was a visual treat. Unfortunately, it was also quite repetitive, with enemies usually following the same format of attacks. Reaction times to change from one attack move to the next were also slow, making this game enjoyable for some, frustrating for others. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/karateka Moby] [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=2419 UDogs] [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/data/578260.html Faqs] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karateka Wiki]

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits to the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer. It shows the latest game he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in many of their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs appearances of the Floppy Disk Container, with screenshots, the toon or emails where it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about the game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games and mostly obscure ones 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.

The 5.25 inch disks are what gave both kinds of disk the title 'floppy', as you could easily bend the disks, enough to nearly fold them over without them breaking. They were replaced by the 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990's, which have been mostly replaced by the compact disc. The 3.5 disks still survive by being rewritable, and are therefore used for transferring very small files. They have been replaced by the compact disc and USB flash drive. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many computers replace the Floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader. || [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk Wiki] [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Here] [http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Here] [http://www.douglasmedia.com/prod8.html Here]

The cave is hazardous, with bottomless pits, cave bats, and of course, the Wumpus. If you run into the Wumpus, it will wake up and eat you. Deduce from clues the location of the Wumpus, and when you think you know, let fly your arrow! If it's a hit, you win, but if you miss, you are eaten. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/47/hunt-the-wumpus Moby] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunt_The_Wumpus Wiki]

The concept for Marble Craze arose from those wooden games that have two knobs used to tilt a board, rolling a marble through a maze in an attempt to avoid the holes. To properly simulate one of these games, both paddle controllers are utilized, one to control the vertical movement and the other to control horizontal movement. A simultaneous two-player mode is also available. || [http://www.atariage.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=99 Here] [http://qotile.net/marble.html Here]

It was made by Brøderbund, and was one of the first fighting games ever made. You play the role of a trained master Karateka and have to rescue the princess Mariko from the evil Akuma, who lives in a castle, well-guarded by innumerable fighters. With smooth, realistic graphics that were ahead of its time, it was a visual treat. Unfortunately, it was also quite repetitive, with enemies usually following the same format of attacks. Reaction times to change from one attack move to the next were also slow, making this game enjoyable for some, frustrating for others. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/karateka Moby] [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=2419 UDogs] [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/data/578260.html Faqs] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karateka Wiki]

You control Navy officer Johnny Westland, as he takes on a secret mission dealing with the oil reserves in Tunisia. The game is a traditional adventure, with interesting James Bond-esque spy elements. The game had several problems that frustrated the player, the most notorious being an overly complex submarine simulator. Other problems included having to complete certain mini-games that depended entirely on chance, and being able to make minor mistakes early in the game, only to find later that the game had become unwinnable. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/codename-iceman Moby] [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=208 UDogs] [http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/data/564617.html Faqs] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codename:_ICEMAN Wiki]
