In '''Thy Dungeonman II''' you play the same custodial knight, [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]], trying to escape from the usual collection of tunnels, mazes, monsters and puzzles. The game is made by [[Videlectrix]] as the sequel to [[Thy Dungeonman]]. In turn, this game has its own sequel, [[Thy Dungeonman 3]].

Key:
*'''Cell''' - The Cell (where you start)
*'''Offc''' - The Magistrate's Office
*'''Prcy''' - Where you first meet Percy the rat
*'''Maze''' - The beginning of the maze, and where you find the mop
*'''Ktcn''' - Kitchen
*'''Infm''' - Infirmary
*'''(H)''' - Hongrel
*'''(L)''' - Longrel
*'''(M)''' - Mongrel
*'''(+)''' - Room

== Hints and Tips ==
* When talking to Ripberger, just use "talk ripberger" or "talk magistrate" in lowercase letters. Otherwise, the game may not recognize the command.
* Type "look map" at any time to view the map. note that you must ALREADY have the map before you can look at it.
* When fighting monsters in the maze, use the attack that starts with that monster's name. Therefore...
** Strike [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|Longrels]] Low
** Strike Hongrels High
** Strike Mongrels Middlin

== Walkthrough ==

{{spoiler}}

After giving your name at the beginning, type "hold breath" (or "nose") and "get tinkle" (or "metal"), which is a key in the chamber pot. ("reach into chamberpot" also works.) Don't forget to BREATHE. Type "breathe", "release nose", "unplug nose", "let go nose" or "smell".

"get hay", which turns out to be moldy bread.

"open door" and go "south".

"look at david bowie" (optional).

"use key" to unlock the drawer.

"get map". "look map" to get the maze directions. It disintegrates, so you'll have to write them down.

Go "north" and "talk magistrate".

Go "north", where you'll find a rat with a nametag. "look at nametag" (his name is Percy) and "talk to percy". He'll offer you the plague.

Go "north", and you'll get the plague (this can't be avoided).

"get mop", as you will need it to fight off monsters.

Now follow the directions from the map (see above). If you'd like, you can stop to "mop" when you see stains (there's a stain in every room of the maze). This is completely optional, and you only earn "experience points" from doing this (which do not add to your point total.) (Note: If you "mop stain" in a room where you've already cleaned the stain, you leave a new stain behind thanks to your "increasingly soiled mop".)

To kill the monsters use the strike with the same letter as the beginning of the monster's name (eg. "middlin" for Mongrel, "high" for Hongrel, and "low" for Longrel).

When you get to the kitchen, go "eastward" (you can't just type "east" or "e" here) to the infirmary.

"talk to doctor". Say "no" when he asks if you can wait. He'll saw off your plague, give you a sucker, and send you back to the kitchen. Do not talk to the healer; the doctor and the healer are separate entities.

"look at placard".

"get picture".

"talk to chef". He is really a [[Dongrel]]. "use picture" or "use sucker" to make Dongrel drop your mop, then "get mop" and "use mop" (if you never "talk to chef", you can skip straight to "use mop" and avoid losing 1 life).

"take emerald". Percy will show up. "take off loincloth", "remove loincloth", or "give loincloth" to kill him.

Note: On some browsers it is impossible to get the emerald, things will happen too fast.

You win and IT'S OVER!!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The second-to-last letter in "Auguft" is supposed to be a [[Wikipedia:long s|long s]] ("ſ"), which resembles a lowercase "f".

===Trivia===
*The [[Fonts|font]] used in this game is called "Sydnie."

===Remarks===
*The map is not necessary to win the game, and therefore neither is the key. It's possible to beat the game without ever taking the key from the chamber pot or entering Ripberger's office (though you'll have a low score.)
*Although the map disintegrates the first time you look at it, you can still "look map" after that to recall the map from your "parchmentic memory". You don't remember the last two moves, but since there was only one choice of direction in each of the last two rooms that doesn't really matter.

===Glitches===
* Every time you type "get ye flask," you earn 2 points, regardless of whether or not you've already gotten yeself a flask.
* When you go north from the office, you are given the description of the office, but are really in the hallway as expected.
* The map you get in the game is slightly incorrect. The direction listed in bold has been left out: "West, West, North, West, North, North, '''North,''' East, East, North, East, North, North." (The map shown above is correct.)
* If you die, when you're asked "Play Again? [Y/N]", pressing N doesn't do anything.
* If you type "south" or "s" after the magistrate goes into his office, it will show a different response right after the normal one.
* If you "take off loincloth" or "remove loincloth" before you are supposed to, the game will play as if you are still wearing it (i.e. you still stuff things into it, and Ripberger doesn't mention you being naked).

===Inside References===
*This game is a sequel of [[Thy Dungeonman]], introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[video games]].
*it's over! is a reference to teen girl squad

===Real-World References===
*If you "look david bowie" in the the magistrate's office, the game replies: "There's something about that man... The picture was taken during the Tin Machine era. Thou art more of a Ziggy Stardust fan."
**[[Wikipedia:David_Bowie|David Bowie]] is a famous English rock artist whose career has spanned from the '60s to the present.
**Tin Machine was a four-piece rock band he formed from 1989 to 1992. Bowie dressed in suits and wore a mustache and beard.
**Ziggy Stardust was an androgynous character David Bowie invented and performed as for his classic 1972 album, ''[[Wikipedia:The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars|The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars]]''. Bowie wore wild, Japan-influenced outfits and the wild red hair that Strong Sad [[Halloween_Fairstival_Costumes|wears]] in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Nutella is a real food made of hazelnut and chocolate. Nutella is meant to be used as a dip or food spread.
*When you enter your name, one of the things the game calls your name is "scrumtriliescent", which is a reference to Saturday Night Live's spoof of Inside the Actors' studio, wherein James Lipton (Will Ferrell) says "That show was delightful. No. No. It was brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent."
*Ripburger is also the name of a character from the [[Wikipedia:lucasarts|Lucasarts]] game [[Wikipedia:Full Throttle|Full Throttle]].
*The Enchantment under the Parapets dance may be a reference to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" dance in [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]].

===Fast Forward===
*[[Ripberger]] becomes the name of a [[Cheat Commandos|Cheat Commando]].

Strong Bad explains what happens to all the unused emails he gets every week.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Stick]], [[Strong Mad's Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' March 3, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 1:38

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh! Check it out! Another one of those...sbemails!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
I was wondering what you do with the 
emails that don't get showed on the 
weekly email. 
 
Dan Chase, 
Aurora, Illinois</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops and says "Hey!" after reading "Hey Strong Bad," and pronounces Illinois as "Illi-nwah" (in other words, with a French accent)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh... ''{typing}'' Wha-hoah, Dan. You mean what do I do with the thousands and ''thousands'' of near unreadable emails I get every day? I like to mix it up!

''{Cut to The Cheat carrying some papers, organizing them into huge stacks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sometimes I give them to The Cheat for filing. And archiving.

''{The Cheat sticks an email in the Medium category. Strong Bad sticks his head in the screen.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' No man, that's a short.

''{The Cheat shrugs, and attempts to retrieve the email, but is too short to reach the top of the pile. Cut to Strong Bad and Bubs standing at the stick, facing away from each other. Strong Bad has a CD labeled "The Goods", Bubs has a bag of cash labeled "The Payoff".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or if I'm strapped for cash, I'll sell the email addresses to Bubs for use in his free weekly spamvertisements.

''{Strong Bad drops the CD}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops! Lookit that! I dropped a CD of five-thousand email addresses!

''{Bubs throws the bag of money on the ground}''

'''BUBS:''' Whoops! I dropped a quarter for each one!

''{Cut to Strong Mad crumpling up papers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And sometimes I give them to my big brother Strong Mad, for the Japanese art of paper-folding.

''{Strong Bad walks on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, how are your origamis? Is that one the crane?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holds up two crumpled-up balls of paper}'' THIS IS A LOTUS FLOWER! THIS IS A PRAYING MANTIS!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, that's great, man. ''{sniffs}'' Incredible likeness.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But mostly the emails I don't use just get... ''{stops typing and stands up, backing up slowly}'' A-digga...a-digga...a-digga-digga...a-digga...a-diggity... ''{starts running back toward the desk}'' DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY A-DELETEEEEEED!!!!!! ''{jumps and does an elbow drop on the keyboard, breaking the desk in half.}''

<blockquote class="compy email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">DELETED!!</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhhh....I think I broke my clavicus...majorus.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

PS: Your still crap and always will be crap. And
please kill hamesturrunner please PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE.
Bye bye.</pre>
:*Strong Mad's stack:
<pre>Dear, Strong Bad
Do you enloy reasing?</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"It happened to my roommate" in the spam Easter egg probably refers to [[Wikipedia:Chain letter|chain letters]], and the fact that most chain letters involve some type of miracle happening, as well as saying "It happened to ''this person''," as well as the fact of forwarding it to 50 people in order for it "to happen to you."

===Trivia===
*The quarters that Bubs gives Strong Bad in exchange for the email addresses total $1,250 ($0.25 × 5,000), and would weigh 62.37lbs.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#friendly ware|friendly ware]]".

===Remarks===
*Since Strong Bad clearly reads his emails on-screen using "strongbad_email.exe," it's curious as to why he would print out the bad ones before giving the pages to Strong Mad for his origami.
*When The Cheat is filing the emails into short, medium, and tall stacks, the paper is regular copy paper. Apparently, these emails were not printed using Strong Bad's dot matrix printer of [[The Paper]] fame.
*This is the first time we see Strong Bad with CDs. His computer, however, probably doesn't have a drive capable of burning CDs.
*There is a gap/small skip between "give them to my" and "big brother Strong Mad", hinting that [[The Brothers Chaps]] used two takes, and spliced them together.
*Although Strong Bad deletes the email, it can still be seen on the screen afterwards.
*The e-mail address bubs@homestarrunner.com does not exist.

the back button for this email is at the right not the left

===Inside References===
*According to commentary on the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]], the "clavicus... majorus" line was originally to be used in the unfinished toon [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].
*When Strong Bad runs toward the computer he passes the same door and window about four times, as in [[gimmicks]], when the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] explodes.
*This marks the second time in which Strong Bad pronounces a word with a heavy French accent ("Illinois" = "Illi-nwah"). The first time was in [[3 wishes]] when he pronounces "croissants" in the same way (this is also later revisited in [[action figure]], when Strong Bad describes the Chinese Throwing Croissants).
*One of the unused emails in the Short Stack (Easter Egg) reads, in part: "you are stupid and have an ugly butt". This is based on a song in [[Strong Bad Sings]].

===Real-World References===
*The email address the Weekly Spamvertisement is directed to (squealydee678@kindergartencop.edu), a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold Schwarzenegger]] film [[Wikipedia:Kindergarten Cop|Kindergarten Cop]].
*"Clavicus" is a play on the [[Wikipedia:clavicle|clavicle]] (also known as the collar bone).
**The word ''majorus'' doesn't actually exist in [[Wikipedia:Latin|Latin]]: the form of the adjective ''major'' that agrees with an ''-us'' ending such as ''clavicus'' is simply ''major''. The similar sounding ''majoris'' does exist, though, but only when used as a possessive.
*The background when Strong Bad is running to his computer is used in most cartoon shows during a chasing scene (eg. The Flintstones), where the hallway is very long and has repeating animation, such as a door or a window.

===Fast Forward===
*The "Digga-Digga-Digga... [[DELETED]]!" line is (almost) used again in [[car]].
*An email address ending in "kindergartencop.edu" also shows up in [[technology]].

you can choose all of the answers and get it right sometimes

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Spirit duplicator|Ditto machines]] were once popular in schools for making copies, and these machines typically used purple ink.

===Trivia===
*If you right click and zoom in on Strong Bad's paper on his desk at the end, you can read what it says. It reads:

<blockquote>
''Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?'' 
 
'' '''a.''' an ounce'' '' '''c.''' a week'' 
'' '''b.''' a weak'' '' '''d.''' pepper''
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*The sign on Strong Bad's desk is misspelled as "Prinicpal Strong Bad". This "mistake" appears again in [[CGNU]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], and has apparently been accepted as the spelling for Strong Bad's title.
*Both "Why Must You Suck So Bad?" and "The Only Thing Wrong With You Is Everything" do not appear on the '''actual''' Strong Bad Sings disc, but only one is considered correct, because this quiz is referring to the Strong Bad Sings toon.
*Disco Tech is a homonym for the French word "discothèque" meaning dance club.

===Goofs===
*Cinnamon is spelled incorrectly as "cinammon" on the recipe card.
*Manufactured is spelled incorrectly as "maufactured" on question number 8.

===Glitches===
*If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. If you choose incorrectly, keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X that appears will remain, however.

*Very rarely, even if you don't get a perfect score, Strong Bad will stop in the middle of his line and start saying the "perfect score line".

===Inside References===
*The phrase "Dansk! What's that staunch?" is used in the song "[[Poot Slap]]".
*The [[Oven Mitts|oven mitts]] Strong Bad wears when offering the cookies are the same he wore in the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]].
*Strong Bad's voice going high at the end of his song may be a reference to when he does the same thing in his song "How Awesome I Am" in [[Strong Bad Sings]].
*On the paper below all of the question papers, the words "had", "than", and part of "problems" are visible. This is most likely a reference to [[Coach Z]] saying he has more than 2 problems in the [[Spin 'n Say]].
**If you view the source, then the following text is viewable, which when put in a proper order does imply this fun fact:
<pre>
If Homestar drank 18 glasses of melonade, if coach z really had bkbkbkbkbkkbmore than
hjhjhjhjhj b problems, hjhkhjkhjkhs does he have?</pre>
*This is the first time an [[Index Cards|index card]] has appeared.
*You-know-what is another, rarely used name for [[Whatsit|whatsit]].
*This is the first appearance of [[Cinnamon|cinnamon]].
*The Poopsmiths Super Deluxe You-Know-What Cookies are an example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].

''{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, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' 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's 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 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 and her hair is now curled.}''

'''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 breaths is ''terbirle''!

''{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. He is apparently the only one at the prom wearing pants. 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, was 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.}''

*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? Dear St—
*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. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' So I was wearing all these types of long pants, and they just got poofed away. So embarrassing.
:'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well maybe I ''will'' keep telling myself that!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*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), chiefly in the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]]. 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" and the HTML file "sbemail151.html" does not exist.
**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!"
**Later in the week, the button was changed to "Strong Bad Email"
*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.
*The Strong Sadstronaut was previously seen 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.
*The band perfroming is titled "''All'' the King's Men". However, [[The Little Chef Guy]] and [[The Bishop]], who first appear with the rest of the king's men in [[The King of Town DVD]], are notably absent from the band.
* In this email, Strong Bad's imaginary girlfriend's name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following Quote of the Week, it was spelled "Delelilia".

===Goofs===
*As Homestar dances, his left foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.
*When the e-mail first came out, right before Marzipan says "That is unmistakably Coach Z", her eyes showed up where her mouth should have been.

===Glitches===
*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.

the voice from offscreen is a reference to the poopsmiths voice in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/different_town Different Town]

===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]] of the actual phrase from the song, "GOO GOO GOO 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]].
* Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is an example of stereotypical "mobster speech", which was popularized by [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]].

Nebulon

Skdrummer — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 15:18:09 GMT

Skdrummer: real world references

'''Nebulon''' is an alien who is seen in [[Outer Space|space]] and on the [[The Moon|moon]]. He first appeared on [[Main Page 1]], but he was not named until [[The Cheat]]'s cartoon [[New Boots]]. According to [[Strong Bad]] in the cartoon, no one likes Nebulon's style. Since then, Nebulon has made a number of cameo appearances as either a drawing or a cardboard cutout, but he has never actually appeared as a real character in any Homestar Runner cartoon or [[Strong Bad Email]]. He has also never been known to say anything.

Nebulon made a brief appearance in the sole episode of [[Limozeen]]'s [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"|space cartoon]]. He also appeared in an Easter egg in the email [[narrator]], where [[Marzipan]] (as some type of enormous alien cow) says she has always admired Nebulon's style. (Nebulon seems less than pleased by this statement.) He made another appearance as a cardboard cutout in the email [[senior prom]], where the theme was "Entrapment All Up On the Moon".

Nebulon is also the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#Bosses|boss]] of [[Stinkoman 20X6]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]]. It is unclear whether this is the same Nebulon or a [[20X6]] counterpart, as it is bigger, stronger and has a much different physique, though the [[Stinkomanual]] says that he's been working out. When you beat Nebulon, [[1-Up]] repeats the phrase "Get out of here, Nebulon! No one likes your style!"

*[[Matt Chapman]] said in a [[Inkhole Interview|certain interview]], "...[Nebulon's misery] cracked me up to no end. I could watch Nebulon crying and moping away forever."
*His [[Wikipedia:Graffiti#Terminology|graffiti tag]] name is "NEB-1." Graffiti taggers use a "1" after a name to show that they were the first to use that name.

''"Control a short-panted 'peasant' named Rather Dashing as he stumbles through Peasantry in his 'quest' to get revenge on a dragon thing."'' —[[Videlectrix]]

A real long time ago, in the peasant kingdom of [[Peasantry]], some people lived... in fear. You are {{Film|Rather Dashing}}, a peasant wearing short pants, who returns from his vacation to find his thatched cottage BURN[[Lowercase i's|i]]NATED! You set out on a quest to get revenge on {{Film|Trogdor}} once and for all.
So will he stay alive and protect this peasant kingdom from burnination?
''YOU'' decide!!!

'''Date:''' August 2, 2004

'''Page Title:''' Peasant's Quest

== Instructions ==
*Look around by typing "look".
*Talk to others by typing "talk".
*Take items by typing "get (item)".
*Use items by typing "use (item)". You can also "throw (item)", "give (item)","look (item)", and some other action words.
*Type "inv" to see your inventory.
*Type "save" to save your game and "load" to load a game. ([[Wikipedia:HTTP_cookie|Cookies]] must be enabled.)
*Press + or - to speed up or slow down your character.
*Type "ask about (name)" to gather information from other characters.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On July 18th, 2005, Peasant's Quest received a "Top Dog" award from [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=5243 Home of the Underdogs].
*The commands "make friends with Kerrek" and "buy Kerrek a cold one" were added after the e-mail [[for kids]] was released.
*On January 16th, 2006, Peasant's Quest was made into a [http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/games/ratherdashing.html Dashboard Widget] for Mac OSX.

===Goofs===
*If you type "where" on the screen above the Mountain Pass, you'll see that it has no name.
*Typing "look" on [[Poor Gary]]'s screen will still say "rotten ol' horse" even after he's fled.
*If you get [[Kerrek]]'s belt after getting on fire, the animation of getting the belt won't show you on fire.

===Glitches===
[[Image:PQvanishingRD.PNG|thumb|Hidden behind the door]]
*If you walk straight up to the Jhonka's door, you will disappear, except for one leg.
*A strange mapping bug allows you to "warp" to the [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|baby lady]]'s house and the inn from another screen entirely. Walk into where you would go to the hidden glen, but go up through the fence and to the left.
*On the screen containing [[Jhonka]]'s Cave, walk into the bottom left corner and you'll end up in the inn, however you'll only be able to walk along the bottom and right sides of the screen.
*Standing behind the "INN" sign while standing as close as possible to the inn itself will cause part of Rather Dashing to appear in front of the sign.
*If you fail the quiz from one of the three keepers of Trogdor, instead of loading a game, just click on RESTART on the load menu after Game Over. Skip the game's intro and then press any key. This will once again bring up the question you answered wrong while you're standing by the knight at the entrance of Trogdor's cave. Answering the question wrong again just gets you another Game Over, answering right makes the box disappear, but every time you try to move or press any other key, the question comes up again, and you will be stuck until you answer the question wrong.
*After you kill the Kerrek, go into the baby cottage. It will be raining inside.
**It will also rain inside the inn.
*In the Baby Lady Cottage, if you open up the inventory and select the Supertime Funbow, a small blue square will appear to the left of the screen.
*On the Game Over screen, hit Enter twice and the animation of your bones will start over.
**If you die, and press restart, and then press enter twice, you will go through another death scene.
*After typing "use sword" in Trogdor's inner sanctum, walk right for an interesting glitch. Even though Rather Dashing's graphic is locked in place, he will get burninated even though he is nowhere near Trogdor. The fire will come from Trogdor's neck instead of his nose.
*In Trogdor's Lair, you will hear a tune. Keep pressing load game and it will keep repeating.
*If you type "get mask" at the well after placing the pebbles in the bucket, but before getting the Monster Maskus, you will not get the mask and will be unable to get it through any means.
*If you put the baby in the bucket, but do not turn the handle, then you can type "put baby in bucket" and get more points again and again.
*As soon as you start the game, type "save" and when you click on your loaded game, you will be in trogdor's lair.
*If you enter Trogdor's outer sanctum and then try to leave, you get teleported back inside.

=== Inside References ===
*Sometimes, when you jump in to the hay bale (after being covered with mud), it says you jump in like a "two years old boy". This is a reference to [[Main Page 15]].
*The screen title "River b/w Tree" is another reference to [[b/w]]. 
*If you try to jump in the left side of the lake, it responds "Not so fast, Swimmer [[Dan]]!".
*When you reach the top of the mountain, it says "Nice jorb climbing the cliff.", which is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]], as well as [[Coach Z]]'s accent in general.
*[[Jhonka]] is from the e-mail [[impression]].
*[[Kerrek]] is from the e-mail [[interview]].
*At the bale of hay, if you type "Get hay", it makes a reference to [[Thy Dungeonman]] and [[Thy Dungeonman II]] by saying "Who do you think you are, some kind of Thy Dungeonman?"
**There is another Thy Dungeonman reference if you "look jhonka."
**When you type in "die" it says "That wasn't very smart," another reference to Thy Dungeonman.
*If you type in "get plague" at the burned out tree, the game calls you Mispeller Jones [sic], a reference to the "Interruptor Jones" quip from [[morning routine]].
*After killing the Kerrek the screen says "ARROWED!! Nice shot. You smote the Kerrek! He lay there stinking." ''Arrowed!'' is a running joke used in [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[TROGDOR!]].
*If you return to the corpse of the Kerrek and type "kill Kerrek," it says "Yeah. You smote the Kerrek. You deserve a trophy full of Mutton-ums." This is a reference to the toon [[New Boots]], where [[Strong Bad]] claims [[The Cheat]] could have earned a trophy full of Steak-ums.
*Much of the text in the game echoes Strong Bad's style of speech, such as the quote, "Behold the TrogShield! No seriously, behold it."
if you don't put in the data cookie when entering the trogCave it makes a noise later used in dungeon man 3

=== Real-World References ===
====Other Video Games====
*The game itself is a parody of [[Wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]] and many classic adventure games.
*The filename of the game is disk4of12.html, a nod to old PC games which were often distributed on multiple floppy disks and which prompted the player to insert the next disk at certain points during installation or gameplay.
*Starting from the Hidden Glen screen, turn left as you exit through the hole in the fence. This allows you enter the screen "located" above the Hidden Glen, which turns out to be the interior of the Baby Lady Cottage. Entering the cottage in this manner changes the way you interact with your surroundings, allowing you to walk through walls, and even walk an indeterminate distance off the edge of the screen. Possibly this is not an error, but rather a reference to [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari's]] old ''Adventure'' game, in which you could peer off the edge of one screen into another, and enter a secret room which is said to be the first instance of an "Easter egg" in a game.
*When you smite the Kerrek, it'll first say "Here goes, Kid Icarus". This is a reference to a [http://www.nintendo.com Nintendo] game of the same name: [[Wikipedia:Kid Icarus|Kid Icarus]], in which your main weapon is a bow.
*The save screen may be a reference to the old [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda]] games in format, the addition of hearts through progress, and the addition of artifacts that are added to your body (shield, helmet, sword).
*Typing "light lantern" is a reference to the text-based [[Wikipedia:Zork|Zork]] series, in which you always carried a Brass Lantern, and which is parodied in Thy Dungeonman.
*When you obtain the Kerrek's belt, Rather Dashing holds it over his head in a fashion similar to Link of The Legend of Zelda.
*Naked Ned popping in and out from the tree is similar to [[Wikipedia:Smoke (Mortal Kombat)|Smoke]] from [[Wikipedia:Mortal Kombat II|Mortal Kombat II]] in the living forest level, where you would occasionally see him pop out, look, and return behind the tree.
*The noise you hear when the disk read error occurs is very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] disk drive, for when the drive is trying to load a disk, it sometimes loses its place where it was loading and made a loud clicking noise.
*Using the baby at the hole of the mysterious cabin brings up a message "Deploying Q-Baby...", which is probably a reference to the [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] video games. In those games, you use a remote contol Q-Spider to crawl through small holes.
*The three questions that are asked to you are a refrence to the original DUNGEON ( not the 3 Zork games ), where the dungeon master asked you 3 questions about the game
*The loading screen is a reference to Space Quest 3, in which it showed a picture of the game's creators trying to console you about dying.

====Music====
*If you type "look" near the hay, it says, "It reminds you of a warm, safe place where as a child you'd hide," a reference to "[[Wikipedia:Sweet Child O' Mine|Sweet Child O' Mine]]" by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].

*Hugging the tree at the hay bale produces a reference to a well-known [[Wikipedia:The Byrds|Byrds]] song. However, once you do this you seem to get stuck. Pressing the down key will remedy this.
*If you look at the cracked ground, it says something about it being a place in which rock stars make amazing guitar solos — a reference to [[Wikipedia:Slash (musician)|Slash's]] solo on "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses.

====TV/Movies/Comic Books====
*At the bale of hay, type "look tree". It says, "[[IMDb:0074697|It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown]]," a 1976 [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]] TV special.
*When you first talk to the knight guarding the mountain pass, he calls you "Dragonheart", a reference to [[IMDb:0116136|the movie]] of the same name.
*If you try to get the pebbles but are too far away, it says, "You try to do your best Mr. Fantastic impression." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]].
*If you go to the screen with "River b/w Tree" and type "look hut" or "look cottage", it says, "You see a cottage in the distance. You hold your fingers up to one eye and pretend to squash it." This is a reference to the Head-Crusher sketch on [[Wikipedia:The Kids in the Hall|Kids in the Hall]].
*If you try to give the Jhonka something he'll reply with, "Don't need nothing from no filthy peasantses!!" This is a reference to the ''Lord of the Rings'' character [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]], whom Jhonka somewhat resembles.
*After jumping in the hay the game comments you look like "that guy from that one show", a reference to Cousin It from [[Wikipedia:The Addams Family|The Addams Family]] who looked like a walking hay bale.
*If you type "drink", you'll get a message about how you don't need to drink, concluded with "So you got that going for you. Which is nice." This comes from Carl Spackler in the film Caddyshack.

====Other====
*Typing "throw baby" at the west screen of the lake returns the message, "I guess you misread the walkthrough at GameFAQs..." [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQs]] is a popular gaming website known for its huge number of walkthroughs or FAQs for just about every game there is ([http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/online/game/922153.html including Peasant's Quest])
*When you look at the painting in the inn, it says that there are dogs playing "Magic: The Nerdening". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|''Magic: the Gathering'']] card game, as well as to the stereotype of ''Magic''-players as being antisocial nerds. The painting itself is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cassius Marcellus Coolidge|C. M. Coolidge's]] series of nine oil paintings featuring dogs playing poker, as well as the follow-up painting "Looks Like Four of a Kind".
*If you try to "scare gary" before getting the mask, two of the three possible responses are references. The first ("You tell Gary the story about the kid who pops this big zit he has and all these baby spiders come out. It doesn't phase him.") is a reference to an urban legend, as is the second ("You tell Gary the "THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!" one but he doesn't act very scared. He's probably heard it before."), which was made into the 1979 horror movie ''[[IMDb:0080130|When a Stranger Calls]]''.
*Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M.
*The berries on the bushes are called "[[Wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|Crunch Berries]]." This is a reference to the [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]] of the same name.
*Trying to jump in the hay from far away will cause a reply which includes a usage of the initials MJ. This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]], a basketball player who had an incredible vertical jump, and was able to dunk the ball from the foul line, which is several feet away.
*Looking at the rocking chair after the baby lady leaves will get you a message saying "One of those self-rocking kind. Not bad for a brown-collar peasant-type. Must be trickle-down in action." This may be a reference to trickle-down economics; part of [[Wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]]'s economic plan for the United States was based on the theory that allowing those with the most economic influence (businesses and the upper-class) to flourish would "trickle down" and benefit the rest of the economy in the form of increased spending, saving, and investment. Therefore, according to the trickle-down theory, given fair market conditions, the best way to enhance overall economic health is to concentrate economic benefits on those with the most economic influence.
**Furthermore, "brown-collar" is a reference to white- and blue-collar jobs, referring to office work and manual labor, respectively. There is no brown collar, but it can only be assumed it represents whatever brown-robed peasants do.
*When Trogdor first wakes up, Rather Dashing wishes he had some "Depeasent Underwear". This is a reference to Depends Underwear.
*When the game is loading, it is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Apple_II#Apple_IIe|Apple IIe]] booting with the screen saying "v1.8" (all that is readable) and the [[Population: Tire]] Loading screen.
*The Apple IIe in the loading screen (along with its disk drives) are on the [[Videlectrix]] Home Page.
