'''Renaldo''' is the role played by [[Coach Z]] in [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Dangeresque (film series)|''Dangeresque'' films]]. [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] describes his relationship with Renaldo by saying that he "works alone, except when [he] works with Renaldo, which is all the time."

==Costume and Insignia==

Renaldo wears the traditional costume of a member of the [[Wikipedia:Freemasonry|Masonic]] order of [[Wikipedia:Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine|Shriners]]. The Shriners are a fraternal order founded in 1870, and the fez with crescent and star distinguish them from other Masons. While the symbols of the Shriners originated in the Middle East, notably from an Islamic context, they do not signify any Middle Eastern ancestry for Renaldo. The name "Renaldo" is Hispanic, deriving from Old High German and meaning counselor or ruler. This name could be a code-name, since Renaldo acts as [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque's]] director much like [[Wikipedia:M (James Bond)|M]] directs [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]], although this seems unlikely. The character is played with Coach Z's usual flair for the [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:American_english#North_Central_American_English|accent]]. At present, both Renaldo's origins and his future plans are shrouded in mystery; but perhaps future sequels (or prequels) in the Dangeresque film franchise will allow us to know more about this fascinating, freelance law-enforcement officer.

On the DVD commentary for [[stunt double]], [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] point out that Renaldo's symbol is also the insignia for the [http://www.nopdonline.com/ New Orleans Police Department].

Slick: /* Renaldo's "Insignia" */

==Name spelling==
Was it necessary to change this to "Reynaldo"? It was written out without the "Y" in [[dangeresque 3]], and in the karaoke for The Dangeresque Theme, Coach Z ponders, "Is that how you spell Reynaldo?" I think the sans-Y spelling may be correct. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:54, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)
: No good reason for its moving has been presented so I moved it back. Would be a pain to change all those links unnecessarily anyway. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:45, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

Uh-oh. My bad, I never knew it was spelled Renaldo somewhere... --[[User:señor|señor]]

==Insignia reference==
I think that we should get rid of the Islam sign part and just put in that the Moon and star is referencing the LOPD. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:What is LOPD? I looked up Islamic symbols on Wikipedia, and they have the crescent as a symbol but not the star. The crescent with the star is the symbol of the Ottoman Empire (as this page already notes) and is currently on the flag of Turkey. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:04, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::He must have meant NOPD (New Orleans Police Department). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Yep. I don't llike to type that long. (Yeah, I know I am lazy.) {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

::::Ah, I see. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:26, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Not many people know this, but Dangeresque is acually based on an attraction in Disney World. It is called "Sounds dangerous starring Drew Carrey" it is about a celebrity undercover cop who has to find a person named "Renoldi". Renoldi would be where "Renaldo" comes from.

The symbol and fez more closely resemble the Alhambra Shine.

== Renaldo's "Insignia" ==

As Strong Bad would say, "Wrong wrong wrong." Renaldo is actually a member of the [[Wikipedia:Freemasonry|Masonic]] order of [[Wikipedia:Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine|Shriners]]. While the symbols of the Shriners originated in the Middle East, notably from an Islamic context, the fez, turban, and star and crescent are not supposed to signify any Middle Eastern ancestry for Renaldo. I will edit the page show this connection and eliminate the conjecture about Morocco and Islam.

[[Image:Basement ceiling.PNG|thumb|100px|Da Ceiling.]]
[[Image:Sbbasement-kidspeedy.PNG|thumb|150px|SB's basement in [[Kid Speedy]]]]

'''Strong Bad's Basement''' is where [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], and [[The Cheat]] hang out, watch [[telebision]], and play [[TROGDOR!|the Trogdor game]]. Many things happen down here, including (but not limited to) The Cheat lying in a [[crisper drawer]]. Strong Bad sleeps on [[the couch]], as shown in the emails "[[cheatday]]", "[[other days]]", "[[morning routine]]", "[[unnatural]]" and in the short "[[The Li'l Brudder Show]]". It was revealed in [[couch patch]], that [[Coach Z]] threw up into the patch-covered rip in the couch after eating some of Strong Bad's gumbo. There must be two ways into the basement, as characters have been seen entering from both sides of the room. The basement has a drop ceiling and fluorescent lighting (as shown in [[couch patch]] and [[Strong Mad#Character Video Transcript|Strong Mad's Character Video]]).

According to the Easter egg in [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]], [[Strong Bad's room]] is in the basement of the house. This is confirmed in [[nightlife]], when Strong Sad enters Strong Bad's bedroom from the main room.

[[The Brothers Chaps]]' office, shown in [[Making of Email 100]], has the walls painted with the same design as Strong Bad's basement. The stripe on the wall is almost identical to the stripe in the downstairs residence on the 1980s sitcom [[Wikipedia:Too Close for Comfort (TV series)|Too Close For Comfort]].

Strong Bad's Room

Slick — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:22:11 GMT

[[Image:sb_room.png|thumb|Strong Bad's Room]]
'''Strong Bad's Room''' is the messy place where Strong Bad plays video games and music. This room features green carpet, beige walls, and both normal and ultraviolet lighting. Strong Bad has adorned his walls with a [[Hanging_Objects#Strong Bad's Room|poster]] of a unicorn with a rainbow (concealing a famous poster of [[Wikipedia:Farrah Fawcett|Farrah Fawcett]]) as well as a crudely drawn poster of [[Homestar Runner]] that Strong Bad uses as a dartboard. Strong Bad puts little effort into keeping his room clean, evidenced by the discarded chips left on the floor from [[The Cheat]]'s [[cheatday|birthday]] party and the live cockroach (presumably [[Gavin]]) who enjoys them.

Strong Bad spends his time in his room playing such games as the [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]] on his [[Atari 2600]] and listening to music by such artists as [[Wikipedia:Peter Frampton|Peter Frampton]] on his stereo. Surprisingly, Strong Bad is never seen sleeping in his room but instead sleeps on [[the couch]] in [[Strong Bad's Basement|The Basement]]. It is possible that Strong Bad has the entire basement to himself.

[[Strong Bad]]'s room has appeared in Easter eggs in Nighttime Driving Type Game, [[Homestar Talker]] and [[Field Day Intro‎]], as well as in the email [[nightlife]]. According to the Easter egg in Nighttime Driving Type Game, Strong Bad's room is in the basement of the house. This is confirmed in [[nightlife]], when Strong Bad is preparing to go to [[Club Technochocolate]] and Strong Sad enters his bedroom from [[Strong Bad's Basement|the more commonly seen room]]. In a scene from [[Kid Speedy]], it is shown that the area where Strong Bad sleeps/watches TV is separated from another room by a wall and a doorway. This is most likely the bedroom, but the wall is gray instead of beige.
