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-lovin' 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.}''

==Fun Facts==

===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 Ga Jube".
*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.
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]]. Robinson's character, Rico, a gangster, often ended his sentences with "see?".
*[[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.

Shadow6000: ''NOT'' the last email for Strong Bad!

== Is the KOT Very Own Show a reference to Butter's Own Episode on South Park ==

Just a comment about the thoughts I had before realizing it was a sbemail instead of a KOT short!
~OptimumCoder

==Almond paste filled sweet delight==
I think Strong Bad is talking about Marzipan here... you know, the real type.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 16:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

:From Wikipedia: "Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight." Sounds reasonable to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::I like it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH... I get it now. That fact was extremely poorly worded, hence my removal of it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== The poopsmith speaketh!? ==

Did the poopsmith really just speak in this email? The voice sounds exactly like the poopsmith's in different town, but the poopsmith is shown shrugging afterwards like that wasn't his voice. I'd like to say that he didn't, but I'm not too sure about it. What are your opinions? - Wevegottapulse

:I think it was him. Who else could it be? It sounded like he was about to lead the band into that "Oh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::Reply to Trey: Totally different "Ohhh Yeah", actually. The one in this email is higher-pitched and was pretty common to hear in this kind of music. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::There's certainly enough suggestion there (that this was The Poopsmith). Might I also point out that this was done in the same voice as the "Hello!" in [[different town]].
::THEN AGAIN! That was in Strong Bad's imagination. Do we have proof that this scene was NOT in Strong Bad's imagination? Did this senior prom actually happen? If not, having The Poopsmith speak here might not be as unusual as it would be if this senior prom really did happen. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I personally think its safe to assume this email wasn't in Strong Bad's imagination. With how Strong Bad actually got The Cheat and Strong Mad to help him and all. (If it was, then we really can't trust anything that happens in H*R ever again. >.> ) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Fair enough. :) Since we can't absolutely prove it was The Poopsmith who said "Ohhh yeah!", there's a Fun Fact there that ties this occurrence together with [[different town]]. I believe that should suffice. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::Everyone thought it was him, but Mr. Smith shook his head and shrugged, as if to say, "It wasn't me! I don't know who that was!"[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 19:32, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::Did the Oh Yeah remind anyone else of the Kool-Aid Man's catchphrase? Before the Poopsmith was shown I thought that was who was speaking. Don't know if it's good enough to be a Real Life reference. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 20:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== More than two prom...blems? ==

Current Fun Fact:

*Marzipan's comment "...every freakin' year...." implies that she has attended the senior prom more than once. Because it is typically the final dance in high school, most people only attend the senior prom once.

I edited this from another version that said "it seems implausible that she would have attended it more than once". I beg to differ: There are a few reasons why she could have. (1) She could have gotten held back and repeated <s>the third grade</s> her senior year multiple times. (2) She could have gone with Homestar in previous years (and he'd probably be more likely to get held back). And (3) She could have served some other purpose in previous years.

My point is, I don't think we have enough to go on to say why she'd be at the prom multiple years. But a lot of cartoons and comics run on the implication that the characters never age, and they repeat the same years of their lives each year (a 365-day version of Groundhog Day, or something). That seems plausible in the HR Universe as well. Thus, I think the Fun Fact should kinda gloss over the "implausibilities" and relate Marzipan's comment to the way it is in real life.

[[the show|And for the block, do you agree?]] {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: I agree. Also, Marzipan could have simply ''heard'' that pantless-Strong Bad won Prom Queen multiple years in a row or whatever happened. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It makes more sense to me that they just all go to a senior prom every year. [[User:130.127.84.204|130.127.84.204]] 18:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ==

I would suggest that there definitely needs to be a reference regarding the ongoing pants/no-pants debate regarding Coach Z and Homestar. This seems to put the nail in the coffin that there are, in fact, no pants going on with either of them. Although (he realizes) it could also be argued that Coach Z wears a body suit, which doesn't technically have any stand-alone pants, which still leaves the door open for his "green-body/green body suit" ambiguity. (PS: Stand Alone Pants would be a great name for a rock band.)
:There's a reference to [[Homestar's Pants]] already on the page. That's where the debate is most fully explained. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::Whether or not this is proof Homestar doesn't wear pants should be put up for a vote me thinks. The obvious argument for would be the fact that his pants didn't poof away at all and his discussion with pompom during the easteregg seemed to imply he was covering. The arguments against could be that Strong Bads remote malfunctioned, or perhaps Homestar wears pants that look exactly like his legs!

== Thank Goodness! ==

I'ma just glad Strong Bad wore undawears this day. Thank you, thank you. Back to where I was! {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 18:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. I actually didn't realise that Strong Bad was the only one in the group that wears pants until now. Maybe Bubs too, but he wasn't in the shot. I can't imagine how Bubs would look pantsless.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 18:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: There's something I'd prefer not to think about... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

==Hey, ummm, everybody?==

This wasn't really the senior prom. It all happens in the present, and evrybody was probably preforming for Strong Bad's little idea thing.
:See Joshua's comment above, about whether it was in SB's imagination or not. If it wasn't a canonical occurence, then we really can't trust anything that happens on H*R.com again. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== All the Kingsmen ==

I know the band's name All the King's Men is more than likely a reference to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty (which remarkably isn't in RWR). But it could also be a reference to the rock band "The Kingsmen", famous for their cover of "Louie Louie". [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 20:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
*It sounds plausible to me - sort of like Before and After Puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. It would fit the situation, since that seems to be the cover band type. Do I detect a double meaning? {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 20:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."

*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.

<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.

:It's been so long since I've seen that show, that I don't even remember that that would work. I think I was seven or eight when it was taken off Nick-at-Nite. The [[depressio|dumb and crappy]] Fox version doesn't count. I refuse to let it do so. The only things about it that I can remember were that one of his shoes was a telephone, and that the bad guys were called "Chaos". {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 20:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== The Last SBEMail? ==

Perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but given the song at the end, and the length and "recurring characters" show... anyone else think that the one who suggested a while back that SBEMail #150 might be the last of them is correct? I hope not, but if it *is*, it's quite a sendoff. I particularly liked this one. -{{User:YK/sig}} 10:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Why would The Paper tell us to send Strong Bad more emails if it was the last?--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 10:34, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I was a little worried too. But coming to think of it, TBC are doing it for a living right? So they probably won't blow up their source of income. Cisz 12:52 CET, 04-04-06

Dudes.... this is the 150th email. Of course they're doing something special for it. --[[User:King Nintendoid|King Nintendoid]] 15:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Plus guys, SB is going to update to an inkjet printer in 23 emails, although he might not considering it's been more than two years since he proposed changes to Strong Badia. {{User:Sluggy42/sig}} 17:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

And Dangeresque 3 still hasn't come out yet either.
...How many times have TBC kept promises they made in earlier toons? Peasant's Quest is one, Strong Sad not being invited to the second Halloween toon is another. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]]

:I haven't watched this yet, and now I'm sad and excited. I ''do'' hope this isn't a final SBEmail, or the end of H*R, because if it was or if there is before I get out of High School (which is about 5 more years), I'll cry my eyes out. Or at least make a petition. OFF TO THE SB EMAIL! ''{dun dun duhhh!}'' --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 23:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that they couldn't end SBemails because most of the store items are based on SBemails. They enad it and they'll lose much, much money.--[[User:Shadow6000|s6k]] 01:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning that [[Wikipedia:Doge|Doge]] was the title of the rulers of Venice or Genoa? [[User:Silly Dan|Silly Dan]] 12:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
:Probably not. The word was previously used in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]] and was removed from that toon's page as a fact. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 12:42, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Total Load ==

I wonder what the "TOTAL LOAD" is (one of the ingredients of Homestar's "real fruit smoothie"). Is it [[Wikipedia:Whey protein|whey protein]], or some similar nutritional supplement? At least, that's what [[:Image:Fruit smoothie.png|the container]] [http://www.affordablesupplements.com/pure_whey_protein_stack.jpg looks like] to me. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:Mayonnaise? No, given the context and its appearance, I think it is clearly meant to represent a tub of weight-gain protein powder such as you would find at GNC or a high-priced gym. I'm intrigued by the "Total Load" label, though. As far as I can tell, this is not an actual brand name—I'd be surprised if it were.

== [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals]] ==

Anybody find it strange they would use TWO of the Made-Up Strong Bad Animals (Sterrence and Da Huuuuuudge), yet have no mention of the Monstrosity, Deep Sea Fangly Fish, The Red Steckled Elbermung, etc. I guess they really liked Da Huuuuuudge or something. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

::The El Pardack and Red Steckled Elbermung were just pictures, so I don't think they had much of a chance. As for the others... I guess we didn't need too many variations from a single email.

== Coach Z's Voice ==

Wasn't it also reused in [[suntan]], and should this be noted?[[User:The Lyrical Wondermind|The Lyrical Wondermind]] 16:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Senor Cardgage Fishing Easter Egg-- Connection? ==

The odd "echo" sound effect heard in the fishing easter egg is also used in the first episode of the mockumentary TV series "Fishing with John", by actor/musician John Lurie.

I'm assuming that this is a stock sound effect, and simply a coincidence. To my knowledge, the similarities end with the sound itself and "fishing". But as a fan of both homestarrunner.com and Fishing with John, it made me laugh.

Fishing with John seems like the kind of indie/cult television show that ''could'' be referenced by HSR, though.

Anyone else think of this?

- C

: Well, the same sound effect was used in the "Fishing with Coach Z" segment in [[lures & jigs]], I'd say it was probably intentional (check out the commentary transcript for that email). {{User:Saturn/sig}}

Haha! That's so awesome. I haven't viewed lures & jigs since before I got my hands on Fishing with John.

- C

::The scene also seems similar to the fisherman from [[Peasant's Quest]].

==No Little Strong Bad==

Not only is their no PBTC Strong Bad, but there isn't any Little Strong Bad, from [[flashback]] and [[highschool]]
:[[Atari Strong Bad]] is missing as well, as are any self portraits of him in Teen Girl Squad. Four of the made up animals are vacant also. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
::And plus, there's no [[highschool|Strongbadiophage]]. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

===List of missing Variations===

*PBTC - Not even made up by Strong Bad, made up by the Cheat.
*[[Little Strong Bad]] and Baby Strong Bad - It was an alternate reality machine, not a time machine.
*[[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals]] - Just Sterrence would have made more sense, but I guess they liked Da Huuuudge enough to represent him too.
*[[Atari Strong Bad]] - All video games represented by Vector.
*Self Portraits, Drawings, Etc - They aren't supposed to be alive or anything, just a portrait.
*[[Strongbadiophage]] - Yeah, he could have been there. But also represented by Teenage Strong Bad.

Seems like there's plausible reasons for missing variations by my viewpoint. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand all of those reasons except PBTC. Seriously, why does it have to be made be Strong Bad? It's an alternate version! He even features on the Everybody Everybody poster. It seemed like you just wanted to find some sort of reason and "It was made by The Cheat" was the only thing you could come up with.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 20:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:The second and last point above - they did include Teenage Strong Bad, so that argument is moot. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

::Also, PBTC's idea is disproved by the fact that they included Old-Timey Strong Bad. An obvious choice, yes, but Strong Bad still didn't create him. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 21:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Maybe they wanted to keep the repetition to a minimum? Sterrance and Da Huuuuuudge is the only instance where they've got 2 from the same email... including the extra variations from [[animal]], [[highschool]], [[video games]], etc... would only make it repetitive and cluttered (how many jokes can you make with Secret Collect Strong Bad?) Tbird's reason for PbTC still stands – every alternate variation in the email was made by Strong Bad in one of the emails, PbTC was not. Which leaves his depictions in TGS, etc, which are actually supposed to be Strong Bad himself, not an alternate universe version. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

==USA For Africa==

The concept of them all singing together seems to be similar to [[Wikipedia:USA for Africa|USA for Africa]], where they got together pop music superstars and had them sing together to raise money to help the poor in Africa. Their most notable song was "We Are the World".

:Yeah I agree. I think the reference was pretty obvious and I was surprised to not find it in the Real-World Refrences section already.

== Universe Creator ==

Is it worth mentioning that Bill Cosby also used this phrase on an episode of The Cosby Show? Most people would be more likely to have heard it on the show than on Himself.
:Actually, I thought it was a catchphrase of one of the Fat Albert characters, wasn't it? Which I ''think'' would make it older than Himself. (There's an unusual concept...) But what I'm more concerned about is the inconsistency between the phrase in the Transcript and the phrase in the Fun Fact. I'm not in a position to do any careful listening right now.

== Missing Limbs ==
I think the ears and nose thing with Strong Bad is another instance of Missing Limbs (ex. Homestar, Marzipan, KoT, etc.) but not just 'limbs'. Coach Z not having a mouth would go along with this too.. Missing facial parts? --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 19:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
: Missing Anatomy. But everyone knows they aren't really missing. We see Homestar et al. manipulate objects and we hear Coach Z speak all the time. Maybe this should all be re-filed under something like ''Invisible Body Parts'' or ''Invisible Anatomy''. Or, if you like ''really'' bad puns, perhaps ''Grey-Area Anatomy''. {{User:Bill/sig}} 20:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
::''Invisible Anatomy'' and the like would work, except that some people (like me) speculate that armless characters don't have invisible arms but rather telekenitic powers. :/ - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 21:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Twin Peaks ==

Probably not worth a Fun Fact, but this is the third reference to Twin Peaks they've done so far- the previous ones were in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] and [[Strong Sad's Lament]].[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

==Sequicentennial==

The word "sequicentennial" means 150 years. The "ennial" is related to the word "annual". Because sequicenten-email is a play on words, it works in this case. However, if he were to have called it his sequcentennial email, it would be incorrect, as he would have had to have started in 1856 and answered one annually in order to celebrate his sequicentennial. Perhaps "1936" could also have been "1856".

==No probalo, Bobalo==
Okay, Strong Sad's "No prob, Bob": ''<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114746/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHNvdXJjZWlkPW1vemlsbGEtc2VhcmNofHE9MTIgbW9ua2V5c3xmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=23 12 Monkeys]</span>'' reference or TTATOT?

== H*R stuff ==

I really don't know how to put in all the pics and stuff, but here's my H*R info

Favorite Character:Homestar
First Email:Bedtime Story
First thing ever on the site:A coloring page.

Before I continue, let's dwelve into that. Before I liked to say words like "crap"(I was a goody-goody), my bet friend had printed out an outlined picture of the main characters. I helped him color it in. About a year later I was on a flash game website where I saw a game called "Peasant's Quest" When I went to the bottom where a button said "Games" I clicked on it. I didn't know who [[1-up]]was but I thought that little guy was familiar. So I goes to the main page to find that character that Matt (coincidintail name of my best friend, huh?) showed me, naked. or "Nakers!!" as the page title said.

After all, they did the same sort of teaser for the [[Flashback|Hundredth Email]], and I thought that was a riot. And I don't know about you, but I'd rather get a throwaway toon rather than rush the TBC from a quality product. Besides, it shows that the creators are mindful of their fan's eagerness by trying to slake their appetite. Or gently tease their obsessive behavior. :) Besides, it wasn't all bad.

:Further support of this, if needed, can be drawn from the fact that Super Mario Bros. 2/USA (or, more precisely, Doki Doki Panic upon which it was based), which was where Snifits first appeared, was set completely in a dream world. Goes along vaguely with Homestar as a representation of SB's innermost desires. Also the cloud on Homestar's shirt. Clouds were all over the place in that game. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 16:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Would it be worth noting that "Up in your grill" refers to a location in standard storyboard layout?
:Not completely sure I understand what you mean. If you mean the spot where "Up in your grill" appears corresponds to where you would find the location indicated on a typical storyboard, I would say it's narrowly unnoteworthy.

== Susqui ==

Strong Sad pronounces "sesquicentenn-email" "sus-qui-sen-ten-ee-mail" for some reason. Notable, and how? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
:I was pretty young, but I seem to remember that when I was living in Arkansas during its sesquicentennial, it would sometimes be hastily pronounced that way, particularly by those with more pronounced Arkansan accents (which is related to a Georgia accent). But Strong Sad's not the type to hastily pronounce anything (except [[origins#Real-World References|Moleskine]]), so that's probably not relevant. He ''could'' be jumbling it up with the [[Wikipedia:Susquehanna River|Susquehanna River]] in Pennsylvania, although that would be more of a Strong Bad schtick. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

== Drawings and Eyes ==

There appears to be some disagreement (based on the edit history) of whether [[Coach Z]] and [[Homestar Runner]] should be included. I personally think no... A drawing of a person doesn't count as an appearance of them. Perhaps some consensus should be reached here so that people don't edit it back and forth.

Also, does that pear actually have [[Googly-eyed Objects|Googly Eyes]]? If so, the transcript should say so, IMHO. If not, it's not a reference. I think it does, but again, don't want it to be edited back out again.

That description is not quite compatible with a pear covered with stuck-on googly eyes. However, the prop itself could be simply that, so it still doesn't rule it out. Thus we have to examine the picture and deduce what we can from the visual evidence. And the visual evidence consists of two important bits. First, that the pupils of the eyes are not all pointing in the same direction. And second, that there are no markings on the drawing, as there would generally be on a well-done storyboard, indicating motion of the pear. A pear covered with googly eyes that is not in motion will have all the pupils pointing downwards, thus this cannot be intended to be a drawing of such an object. Since it's not what Strong Sad said, and it's not what Strong Sad drew, it would be a huge leap to call these googly eyes. Your witness. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:20, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

::It's a drawing, so it's not subject to the laws of physics, so the "different directions" can be dispensed with as a lack of attention to that when drawing. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Nicest Guy: Objection sustained. There's no direct evidence that these are ''googly'' eyes. The link to the googly-eyed pumpkin, for example, could be entirely coincidental. It seems more likely that the eye-covered pear is just a sample of Strong Sad's surrealist illustrations (more in line with [[Wikipedia:Madeline L'Engle|Madeline L'Engle]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:A Wind in the Door|A Wind in the Door]]'', or [[Wikipedia:Ezekiel|Ezekiel]]'s prophecies, in my opinion.) Nevertheless, it is interesting that both a pumpkin and a pear (a fruit and a vegetable) have both been covered with eyes. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

:::'''Edit conflict:''' I suppose [they could be dispensed], but nevertheless, we have ''no'' evidence that the eyes google, and ''some'' evidence, although disputable, that they don't. (Did you ever stop and ask yourself, "Am I really debating whether eyes google?" No? Me neither.) --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

The pear with eyes reminds me of a 30's film, I think it was French, where random objects had eyes...and the main character held up an object covered with eyes...most likely from the surrealist school. I think it might have been ''The Blood of a Poet'', but I'm not sure...it's been a while since I saw it and it's not the easiest film to get a hold of. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

::I'm fully aware that this will never make it as a Fun Fact, but when he "dollied" in to the coffee-covered Coach and the ocular pear, I thought of it as a pun on "Dali". There, now I've got that out of my system. ;) [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

*"[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk%3ASbemail_150%3F%21%3F&diff=295695&oldid=295663 The Pears Have Eyes]" is a reference to the 1977 [[Wikipedia:Wes Craven|Wes Craven]] film [[IMDB:tt0077681|The Hills Have Eyes]], remade in 2006.

==Prenouncing Buscemi==
I am somewhat sure it is prenounced as bushEmmi, and not, as Strong Sad says, buSheemi. Does anyone know for sure? [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 20:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
:True, but he's coining an adjective. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
::Would that really have any effect on how he pronounces the second syllable? We don't call an autocrat "Machiaveelian". I do believe his name is properly pronounced bu-SHEM-ee, making Strong Sad's pronunciation of the adjective a bit whacked, but I can't cite any references at the moment. But here's an interesting thought. What if the pronunciations of [[origins|Moleskine]], [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|Imbruglia]], Buscemi, and perhaps others I'm not thinking of, are not accidental at all, but a subtle running gag: Strong Sad mispronouncing obscure words and names that he intended to make him look intelligent? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
BTW, his name is actually pronounced boo-SEM-mee. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
:Or there could be a much simpler explanation: TBC goofing up. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Sad's Characterization ==

Is it just me, or as Strong Sad gotten so much cooler over the years? Once he was forlornly sitting in his room mailing hundred-dollar bills, and now he's writing screenplays just to give him the chance to pour coffee all over Coach Z!
--Impulse2, who isn't sure if her name ever shows up.
:Gotta love character development! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
::He's really shown us his artistic side. Granted, he's still outcast by most characters, except Homsar (and, on occasion, Marzipan) but that's because he is still rather whiny and depress(ed)(ing). A (buttered) toast to character development![[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

== Biography ==

[[Image:Babypp.PNG|thumb|Bouncy, bouncy...]]

'''Pom Pom''' (also spelled '''Pom-Pom''') is a Pom from the [[Isle of Pom]]. Pom Pom, like all Poms, appears to be inflated. He talks by making bubbly noises and can store stuff by absorbing objects into his body, suggesting that he's made of some sort of carbonated/gelatinous substance. Pom Pom is [[Homestar Runner]]'s best friend, but Pom Pom sometimes also hangs out with [[Strong Bad]]. He takes karate and is often on [[Cell Phone|his cell phone]] talking to his many [[Pom Pom's girls|girlfriends]]. He was going to have a dog named [[Rejected Characters#Trivia Time|Trivia Time]], but this concept seems to have been abandoned. He also has a "wicked [[Pom Pilot]]". Pom Pom's parents' names are [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom]], as seen in an Easter egg in the Strong Bad E-mail [[pom pom]]. Pom Pom has such an open mind that he has even made friends with such characters as the [[The King of Town|King of Town]] and [[The Poopsmith]].

''{to Pom Pom}'' Hey Pom Pom—''{Pom Pom looks at him angrily and points to his phone}'' Oh, right. I forgot already. He's probably talking to some fine honey on his celly. ''{Pom Pom gets out his wallet and shows the camera some pictures of his girlfriends}'' About to get her phone number. Or maybe he already has it. He gets digits like every single... day. ''{to Pom Pom}'' Isn't that right, Pom Pom? ''{irritated, Pom Pom snaps his phone shut and bubbles angrily at Homestar}'' Oh, sorry again man. My bad. I wasn't trying to step to you or anything. We're still cool. ''{Pom Pom sighs, puts his phone away, shakes his head and bounces away}'' Pom Pom and I are still cool.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Driver's license ===
<pre>POM POM
125 Lexington Ave
Isle Of Pom

SEX HEIGHT WEIGHT
POM 6'2" 4 lbs

ORGAN
DONOR</pre>

===Phone Numbers===
''Home'': (123) 456-7890<br>
''Cell'': (123) 555-8307<br>
''Pager'': (718) 555-1059<br>

* Based on the area code for his pager number, Pom Pom has either lived or does business in the outer boroughs of New York City. 123 is not a real area code, as none (in the [[wikipedia:North American Numbering Plan|North American Numbering Plan]], at least) begin with the numeral 1.
* Pom Pom's "voice" is the same re-used sound sample of [[Mike Chapman]] blowing bubbles into a glass of milk. His is the only voice that is never recorded fresh for every toon (and never has since his first appearance).
* "The Most Mackinest" is a phrase taken from the Beastie Boys' song "Shake Your Rump."
* Pom Pom is the only main character whose parents have been seen on the site, in a picture in [[Isle of Pom]]. They are differently-colored Poms there, but Strong Bad hypothetically envisions them as a File Cabinet in [[Family Resemblence]].
*Pom Pom's ringtone as heard in [[technology]] is a clip of the [[geddup noise]] as performed by DJ Teh Cheat.
