==Technical junk==
I'm kinda miffed that someone removed my comment about the broken JPEG icon being from Mozilla. I thought it was interesting. Oh well. And this sentence about Linux--The name is often thrown around as a buzzword by those who do not know what it is, which explains Strong Bad's absolutely random use of the name--sounds rather pompous, even condescending. ~ [[User:Aero|Aero]] 11:44, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)
:You would expect a red X, with The Brothers Chaps being M$IE users. '''Update:''' Oh wait, maybe they're not. -[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]] 16:09, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)

maybe not, maybe they just assume that most of their fans use ie and thats why they always make the webpages appear like ie error pages.

==Mac popup?==
Is the thing explaining how the Mac OS X popup looks really necessary? Why wouldn't it be otherwise? And complete with a screenshot? No offence, just seems kinda obvious. ~ [[User:Aero|Aero]] 19:56, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
:I'm more bothered by it not being a thumbnail, as is seemingly standard nowadays.
:Also... about this line:
:"It also seems to be able to evade pop-up blockers. Uh oh, don't let the ad companies find out about this..."
:What pop-up blocker are you using? Both SP2 and Google blocked the pop-up until I told them to trust HSR.com, so that doesn't hold true. At all. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 20:45, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
::[[User:Aero|Aero]] has brought up a good point here-- the needless screenshot seems to make this already long article (mainly due to the long transcript) even longer. The fact that Mac OS X displays popups with a different bar across the top would be justified if, on [[The System is Down]] or [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], there were a discussion on how "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" only applies to people using the Internet Explorer browser. The overall point being the TBC most likely chose to display popups in the style that they did expecting the most number of users to be using the aforementioned browser (along with Windows). And of course there are going to be users of other browsers and operating systems. I'm sure most of us can agree that we are able to imagine what the differences may be without the need for a screenshot. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:35, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
::I'm of the opinion that the Mac OS X thing doesn't belong. It just doesn't seem all that important. I mean, I noticed it was a popup window right away due to my using WinXP, but I didn't create a fun fact about it. The image just makes it worse, on top of things. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 22:18, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

==Name of file?==
Do we really need the name of the "Making out with Marzipan" file in the Fun Facts? I mean, it's being linked to already, and I don't recall things like that being in the Fun Facts for any other e-mail...

== Wow ==

Strange, he wasn't nearly as dramatic when the Tandy exploded. And he pretty much threw it away after a while. This e-mail has "new computer" written all over it.

:I get the impression that the Tandy was just some computer he happened to have, maybe he just inherited it from someone else or something, whereas the Compy 386 was something he specifically went out and got, himself, to replace the Tandy. So he's bound to have more emotional attachment to it. --[[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]], 2004.11.19 20:36GMT

::Actually, Strong Sad says in [[gimmicks]] that SB bought the Tandy at a garage sale for $15... But also the Tandy's demise was a freak occurance AND he patched it back up to work (for better or worse) two e-mails later, whereas Compy's demise was at the hands of someone specifically (Bubs) and was beyond repair (though if you think about, after [[gimmicks]], the Tandy wasn't in such great shape either...) --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:34, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

::: Strong Sad didn't say that SB bought the Tandy for $15 - he said that SB COULD buy a computer LIKE the Tandy for $15. Technically, we don't know where or when he got the Tandy. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:49, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::I sit corrected. I guess I always heard it the other way.--[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 22:56, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Well...He has answered more e-mails with the Compy...--[[User:Omega|Omega]]

::IF you listen to the commentary on one of the emails on the Strong Bad DVD, mike talks about getting Strong Bad a "Lappy 486." Then, the virus email came along and wa-la, new computer. Oh yeah, Mike talks about a 'Lappy 486. ' Strong Bad gets a 'Lappy 386.'--[[User:Harry|[[User:Harry|Harry]] 19:17, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::No, it was a [[Compy 386]]. His Lappy is most assuredly a [[Lappy 486]] as Mike mentioned. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 19:37, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

::::Oops. Sorry about that. I'm...dumb. Really. My bad.--[[User:Harry|Harry]] 10:42, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Just a heads up... ==

I've noticed that in previous e-mails that they've singled out occasions where everyone was used. This one come's close so I was wondering if anyone spotted Homsar besides the little Strong Mad sound effect.

:Not I, and it doesn't matter anyway - Pom-Pom is absent as well. - [[User:Jay|Jay]]

== Slight correction ==

I think Strongbad's line early on in the email is "Like the kind that ''mobs in'' offshore casinos send you?", not Moms. Makes more sense anyway, since mobs have been rumored to run, among other things, casinos, and though the idea of mobs distributing viruses is absurd, it pokes fun at the misinformation and paranioa most people have concerning viruses.
:I thought about that, but I listened to it a few times and it still kind of sounded like "moms," so I just left it in. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 22:15, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
:Actually, "moms" and "offshore casinos" together do make sense. Appearantly, you haven't seen nearly as much spam as I have. ;) --[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pidgeot Pidgeot] 16:15, 16 Nov 2004 (CET)
:Agreed... the "moms" in question are probably not very computer-savvy and would not be aware that they are sending viruses to people in their address book, such as their kids. -- [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 20:47, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)
::I was thinking more of spam advertísing "h0t mom pr0n" - many such sites will claim to give you free access to stuff as long as you download a small program, which contains viruses, malware, etc. Of course, you're not told the last part ^.^ --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] [[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]] 16:27, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
The line about "Moms" is probably a reference to the Mother's Day Virus that appeared a couple of years ago. And casinos send you crap all the time. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]<<Yes, that was me. Sorry, forgot to log in. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|MFCUSA]]

Eh, I recorded it and played it a few times and it does sound like "moms." --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 19:05, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Denny's Menu ==

Now that Compy is more or less gone, shouldn't there be a new sbemail menu? Didn't they do this with Tandy?
:Well No Name, they can't do it NOW. If they would've, it would have ruined the surprise if you accessed the email via the sbemail menu. They'll probably change it next week or so. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:53, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Did they change it 1 week after [[gimmicks]]? -[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]] 16:13, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)
:::Yes! After "gimmicks" the email menu was replaced with a pad of paper with the list on it. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 19:08, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Bubs's left arm ==

:You may not notice it at first, but when Bubs walks by for the first time his left arm is stuck in a [[Dancin' Bubs]] position as well. He is not really moving it back and forth from carrying Homestar's leg/Shotgun. This is actually position #4. Just thought I would clear things up.

== The old girl working again? ==
Maybe strong bad will fix the compy like he fixed the tandy? I remember being shocked that it was still there after I witnessed it blowing up.-[[User:Clever Dan|Clever Dan]]
:Doubtful, since Bubs is selling it. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:And besides, I don't see how you're going to get it working again with that gaping hole through most of its body. -Walking Armless
:Nope, he (obviously) got a new computer, the LAPPY! Duh. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 17:50, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Oh come on, this discussion's, like, a year old. Don't go "Duh"-ing people for not being psychics. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:43, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== "Fun" facts ==

Many of these "''fun facts''" are neither accepted facts nor particularly fun. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 19:14, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I agree. I also think that the word "reference" is used ''way'' too much.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:38, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

::Yeah. I commented about this on the [[Talk:Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Email Talk]]. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:::I think one thing that we should start cracking down on is fun facts clearly already noted in the Transcript. (such as Homestar having Old Timey Homestar's body or Strong Sad's heads being from Strong Sad's Lament). In fact, that's what I'm thinking of doing right about now. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 09:30, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)
:::EDIT: I did do some of this cleaning, but I still think there's more that could be nixed, somehow. We'll have to put our heads together and figure this out.

::Agreed re: "reference" There's a difference between references and superficial similarities. -- [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 20:46GMT

Oh, check this out! Before the scene of a TGS style piece of paper, with the text "issue 3.14159265 and the rest" at the top, and [[The Ugly One]] extends her arm and starts slapping [[The King of Town]] is shutting down, it would ''also'' have an audio which goes like this: [[http://lacinqtv.free.fr/jingle_antenne_court.mp3 Audio 1]] or [[http://lacinqtv.free.fr/generique_derniere_emission.mp3 Audio 2]]. '''Note: These audio files are from the former french TV-channel [http://lacinqtv.free.fr La Cinq] (This site is only available in french).''' --[[User:81.225.112.108|81.225.112.108]] 07:14, 11 Jan 2005 (MST) [[User:Maudi Algabban|Maudi Algabban]]

== Strong Man? ==

Who keeps putting Marzipan as saying "Strong Man"? It's not like the sound is very distinct. Context makes it clear that she's saying "Strong Mad". - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 19:36, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

== The "Gibberish" Sound ==

I'm probably wasting my time, but I started fooling around with the weird gibberish sounds heard from Marzipan and the glitched Quote of the Day to see if there was any meaning to them. After applying several filters to the original wave file, I've been able to make out the following quote:

"(blah blah blah) this music... and the design... and (blah blah) musician"

Take a listen and see if you can make it out too.

[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/gibberish.wav Original gibberish]
[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/gibberish2.wav "New" gibberish]

:There's definitely something there, I think, but we're never gonna be able to figure out what just by listening to it, no matter how we process the sound. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 22:01, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

::That's pretty creepy. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:Hmm... I listened to it again I ''think'' she's still talking about the stack of VHS tapes. I think she's not saying "(blah blah) musician", but "and the composition", i.e., the design and composition of the, um, VHS tapes (you know, making a big deal out of it like it were an art sculpture, not unlike Marzipan). I can't hear the "c" in "composition" there, but it could have been filtered out or something. I could be way off, though. The word "design" sticks out pretty well but the rest is just muddled. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 23:24, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)

Is it just me, or does the beginning and end of the original gibberish sound a little bit like the opening theme from the first season of Digimon?

:It's probably you. But I've never seen it. And that comment wasn't necessary. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

Hey! I think I got what Marzipan is trying to say! Look. I used Creative and tweaked the sounds a bit! It sounded like... On the contrary the music and the violin need the auto face rubber...? Umm I don't think I heard it right but thats what I got so far.--[[Omega]] If you need to talk to me or have any question or comments visit my talk page.[[User Talk:Omega|Talk]]

:Months later, I've stumbled upon this discussion, and here's what I hear it as: "It accentuates music, and the design, and the composition..." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 09:17, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

Wow, that's cool, keep us posted if u get it working better (i mean u can fully decipher it.) -- [[User:Deoxyman|Deoxyman]]|[[User Talk:Deoxyman|Talk 2 Me!]]

*It just takes me to some page about Half life 2. [[User:OWIE!|OWIE!]]
**Me too. What the heck! --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 14:12, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)'
***Ditto. I really wanted to hear the new gibberish. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 11:27, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

To me it's always sounded like ''[I've ever] seen. Which one is your fav-orite?'''--[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 01:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I uploaded some files - [[Media:Before.ogg|Before]] and [[Media:After.ogg|After]]. These are sounds of distorted marzipan before and after editing - I raised the pitch and used a noise filter. It introduced a lot of extra harmonics, though. This makes me think she's saying "It accentuates the form, and the design, and the composition." - [[User:Eman|Eman]]

* FYI: I fixed your Ogg links. Use <nowiki>[[Media:Before.ogg|Description]]</nowiki> for sound files. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

* After listening to After.ogg (and speeding it up a bit more to more closely match Marzipan's voice), I have to agree. Though those first two words are still pretty obscure - I almost hear "It '''concentrates''' the form" - the rest of it is pretty clear, though. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
** Actually, listening to the slower version makes me think "In countries, new accord, the desire, and the composition". Makes no sense, but that's what I'm hearing now. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC
*** Here's another edited version: [[Media:After2.ogg|After editing, numba two]]. Here I raised the pitch a little bit more, and got rid of some of the higher harmonic frequencies - the result sounds a little damped, but you can still make it out. I think that the distorted gibberish was in fact a clip of Missy saying "It accentuates the accord, and the design, and the compositionnnn!" which TBC distorted quite a bit and transposed down by two octaves or so. Note that if this was a clip of one of TBC, it would sound like a chipmunk; it's very probably a female voice. Although we can't say for certain that it's Missy Chapman, it seems likely since she provides Marzipan's (normal) voice. - [[User:Eman|Eman]]
**Is there any other version you can use? I want to hear it, but my computer doesn't support ''.ogg''s. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

== Pruning ==

I just went and slashed a lot of fun facts. I also separated the references for now, just because there are so many (and some are disputed). This might be temporary, and don't think it'd be necessary to create a "References" section for every e-mail, just reference-heavy ones. I'm not entirely happy with that, since in some cases it's hard to figure out if something is more of a fun fact or a reference. But this is just a start and it might help bring some order from the chaos. (I also did my best to order the references in the rough order they appear in the e-mail, so it'll be easier to find the one you want to edit/remove/etc.) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Just to clarify, the idea in separating the references from the fun facts now is so that both can be pruned more efficiently. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:27, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

::If we do it on this e-mail we should do it on all of them (if needed). Should we get to work on this? Or is it already in progress? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

:I disagree that it'd be necessary for all the other e-mails. I mean, really, is it that necessary that every e-mail page follow precisely the same format? It's good to be consistent, but also bear in mind that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". I don't see advantages in doing it for all the other e-mails. I do see advantages in doing it for this one, at least until we get the list sorted out. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 17:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I think if this one needs it, all others need it (except for ones who have no references in them). If we don't let Strong Bad e-mails follow the same format, why not let the transcripts follow their own format, or the toons? I think it's definately necessary for all Strong Bad E-mails to follow the same format. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

::You don't understand. You ''all'' understand. I mean, don't understand. Well, anyway, the difference is that transcripts, toons, etc. follow the same general format because there is usually no significant reason to deviate. On the other hand, most of them don't have "fun facts" sections filling up a third of the page, either. You say they all need to follow precisely the same format, but I must ask you: why? This isn't arbitrary format fiddling. I stated my case (which you didn't argue with), and I also said that it will probably be temporary. Tell me, what brings greater benefit: trying to organize the <s>mess</s> mass of <s>dumb</s> fun facts, or sticking to the same old format for no reason other the sake of sticking to a format? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 08:02, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:::I'm not trying to get into some big argument here. Just a head's up.

:::I'm not saying ditch the format thing. I love the idea, but I think it should be with every e-mail, and not just ones with loads of referencs. Just think- wouldn't be more organized? If one e-mail has a load of references in it, we could put a sub-heading for "references", but why not all other e-mails with references, even if it's only three? I feel it would be easier to find, as well as look real nice. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

=== STUFF'D! ===
I talked with [[User:Tom|Tom]] about it, and we decided that we should try out the idea of a fun fact approval page. This is just for trying it out: we haven't committed to it yet, especially not without the approval of the other administrators, but there should be no harm in trying it on just one page. There's also a [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=1320 forum thread] on whether or not we should do it. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 22:58, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I think it's a good idea. I just think that the note on the virus e-mail (or any other e-mail) should be brought down to around

:"There are more fun facts in STUFF. Please go there to view them."

:Or somethin' like that. But this is pretty awesome. F'real. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

::Well, I want users to understand what's going on. So far, they don't: ''nobody'' has posted anything on the STUFF page, they just keep posting (worthless) "fun" "facts" here. So I also added short footers that read something like that. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Crossing the 4th Wall ==
I disagree with the last fun fact. Never do the characters acknowledge that they are CARTOONS. In the homestar universe, the strong bad emails (as the cheat is watching on his computer in huttah!) are analogous to live TV shows in our universe. Similarly, all the other instances can be explained by assuming that Strong Bad and co. are aware that people are watching them, but just as a live show.

:Well, that's what the [[HRWiki:STUFF]] page is for. If you don't like a fun fact (and it hadn't gone through the process already), just move it there. I'll do it for ya this time. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 23:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== New "glitch" ==

I'm a bit skeptical about this new glitch:
*On some browsers, this email doesn't work properly. First, the "Click On The Monkey" popup never appears even after disabling pop up blockers, then all the animation (except for the characters blinking) stops during the Strong Mad and Marzipan section.
What browsers are we talking about here? At the very least, we should list what changes from browser to browser. I haven't noticed any difference from Firefox to IE. I'm thinking this glitch might be due to a particular user's settings. As such, I've removed it from the article for now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)

:It is probably my settings that lead to this. I'm using Win XP, with SP2. Due to my administrator not seeing how good Firefox is, I'm using IE 6, with Norton Internet Security 2005 installed.

===Bubs' Belt===
At one point of the email Bubs' belt disappears. I think that this may be because his belt is basically the same color as the grass. It would have the same effect as if there were a green-screen: it would disappear.

=== The Number 423,827 ===

Since the curret Frequently Asked Questions page says every email but 'mile' is real, it's safe to assume someone actually tried to crash Compy 386 by sending a virus to Strong Bad.
*'''Decline''' I've got a real problem with this one. The e-mail could have just been corrupted or broken in transit, or, like 'fhqwhgads', it could have been someone just mashing on the keyboard.

*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much is obvious.

*'''Weak Accept / Rewrite''' - I also second AtionSong's vote. If you revise it by making it seem like a fact rather than just a comment, as stated above, then it comes together as a solid fact.

== Appeal ==

A fact about the quadratic formula similar to the one [[Talk:virus#Quadratic_formula|above]] was on the page for a couple of months, but then it was removed because it had been declined. It is a longstanding tradition to respect previous STUFF votes, even ones from the original format. In other words, you can't just dispute an item just because the vote didn't turn out like you hoped it would. In certain cases, however, it seems that if '''sufficient grounds''' can be found to reopen an item (for example, a fundamental change in the way we list fun facts), then we could reopen one. I would therefore like to '''appeal''' the quadratic formula fact on the following grounds:
:''At the time this item went through the process (which was still in its infancy), we did not have an Explanations subsection of Fun Facts. Now that we do, this item is a perfect fit for that category.''
I would like to discuss here whether these grounds are sufficient to reopen the item. Please take a look at the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=233265 proposed format] for the appeal. Note that all original votes count. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

this page once loaded with pictures? [[User:Beep|Beep]] 22:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== Goofs ==

When strong bad runs away from bubs and the cheat, his legs are missing in the flash file. The left arm also disappears.

just got RV'd on terms of "flash artifact" but when the left arm disappears it is apperent in the normal html version for 3 frames. I don't know if this matters or not as a goof, but just informin'. I can get a screenshot if you want.--[[User:Collin|Collin]] 03:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
:I think you mean his ''right'' arm, which is on our left. You're right, the arm disappears, but I don't think it's a goof. I think instead his arm is supposed to have swung behind his back as he's breaking into a run, and thus wasn't visible. The fact that it returns before he exits the frame (as the arm swings forward) shows that it was intentional. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:10, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

ha, yeah thats what i meant. sorry i'm dumb. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 07:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

==1982==
<blockquote>Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created. Although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made, it would pretty much be impossible for a virus scanner to have existed in 1982.</blockquote>
[[Wikipedia:Elk Cloner (computer virus)|Wikipedia]] claims that the first in-the-wild virus was written in 1982... I found this after [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s%20Technology&diff=323367&oldid=323362 seeing] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s_Technology&diff=next&oldid=323430 changing] an edit on [[Strong Bad's Technology]] – I saw the above fun fact when I came to add it here... the "Conflicting accounts" part makes me not want to blindingly trust Wikipedia on this (since conflicting reports are what a wiki is generally bad at) so does anyone have more info? Apologies for the massive run-on sentance. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

==Wirus vs. Virus==
Matt incorrectly used the German pronunciation. In german, you pronounce your w like v's, not v's like w's. V's are pronounced a like our f's. Want me to change it?
:You're right about how W's and V's are pronounced in German. But Matt is not really incorrect. You see, Germans speaking English often make both mistakes: substituting W for V and V for W. I had a German teacher from Switzerland who used to always tell me to conjugate the "werb" correctly. So we should leave the fact as it is. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Ahh... ok. Sorry Matt.

==423,827 viruses?==
Arent there only about 114,000 viruses for pc's, 'cause strongbad got 423,827?
:Yes, some anonymous user (you?) added the fact the other day, and it has been reworked and moved to [[virus#Remarks]]. (it's the third from the top).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::er, yeah, that's me. I don't have an account, though. I didn't notice it had been moved. thanx for tellin me.
:::No probalo. Thanks for coming up with the fact in the first place! And hey, creating an account is easy and free ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

== reddest radish outtakes? ==

I decompiled this email because I was curious and I found these early designs for the Reddest Radish hidden under layers of the sky. I will post it in a second. --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 23:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[[Image:REDDEST RADISH UNUSED DESIGN FROM VIRUS.PNG|thumb|Here it is]]
As you can see, that The Cheat there is included in the virus visuals. See ya! --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 23:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm, interesting. I wonder why the bros. chaps would put that there? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
:Can you decomplie Raddest Radish and see if the designs are present there too? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
::Decompile'd. None of the above designs are present, as far as I can see (although I dunno what he means by "layers"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::UGH. Layers are used in Flash to make something overlap one another. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 00:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Curiosity: any luck decoding the garble? ==

I don't know. I kinda put it through Sound Recorder and sped it up. It ends with something like "position" or something... I don't know. Anyone else have any luck with decoding this garble? --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 04:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:[[#The "Gibberish" Sound|See above]] – this has been discussed at length. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== CLEANUP: font contradiction ==

So what IS it anyway? Fractions or Reference Specialty? [[The Virus]] article says Reference Specialty. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 15:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

:First, I'm removing the clean-up tag, because I'm pretty sure we're only talkin' about one fact. Second, I don't see anything on [[The Virus]] about Reference Specialty. And by me, I mean Ctrl-F. So, if there's no use of Reference Specialty, I'd just leave it at Fractions. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 16:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it's been named as MS Font Specialty over at [[The Virus]] article. This causes another font contradiction. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 15:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

== Podcast missing! ==

The update involving adding the Podcast button to the Navbar at the bottom seems to be in effect in most pages, save this Virus email.

True, its due to Homestar's head taking some of the words, but I just thought I should point that out...
:Yeah, the same thing happened when the "[[Random Toon|rando]]" button was introduced. This toon doesn't use the normal navbar file. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

== A "What's New" button? ==

There is no such thing, even now. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 00:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:Can't click [[for kids|"Stave it off"]] either. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 00:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
::Use tab, and when you see where a big new toon button SHOULD be, hit Enter. This is the "What's New?" button. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Navbar ==

Since the navbar was updated since this cartoon has been made and the navbar moved around in this cartoon, the random and podcast buttons are missing. Is this worth noting? {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 17:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, that was pointed out above. Still, should it? {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 17:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

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

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

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

'''SINGER:''' Showdown!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Homestar looks surprised. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''SEÑOR:''' I still alive!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut to Pom Pom}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Unplugged" is a term popularized by [[Wikipedia:MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] and is used to refer to [[Wikipedia:Acoustic music|acoustic music]].

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

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his [[Wikipedia:Five o'clock shadow|five o'clock shadow]] disappears with it.
*When Homestar holds up the grapes, they float as if he's controlling them with his mind rather than with [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms]].
**Homestar's invisible arms are also emphasized in the high-five scene.
*Señor may also defy physics. He holds the pile on one side with the other half of the pile mysteriously floating in mid-air. This was also true in the original book.
*The way the grapes fall on Strong Bad, he should be lying on his stomach since he was holding the pile behind his head. However in the action scene, "squished bad," Strong Bad is shown lying on his back so that he could eat them in the next scene.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.
*The Robot being plugged into a wall from nowhere is a referance to the fact that in the Original Book, the contest takes place outside, but The Robot is plugged into a wall from nowhere.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.
* In the silhouette scene following Mr. Bland's loss, the grapes are actually floating above Pom Pom. Note: this is most likely just in keeping with the original story book which has a similar silhouette.
*The first page says "Everyone loves The Homestar Runner..." instead of "Everybody loves The Homestar Runner...", which would have been the correct quotation from the original book.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Strongestmanintheworld kickthecheat.png|thumb|All part of his master plan.]]
*When Señor gets squished, the [[Wikipedia:onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]] used is "[[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|Sblounskched!]]".
*The song during the training scene is "[[Songs#from Strong Bad Emails|Showdown]]" from [[montage]], except with vocals by someone who sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]].
*The outfit Homestar wears during the training scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].
*The autographed picture of Strong Bad in the Easter egg is the same as the one that Strong Bad gives to his "main man" Van Mundegaarde in [[2 years]].
*Señor's line "I still alive!" may be a reference to [[Strumstar Hammer]], in which this scene is captioned with the line "this blue guy died."
**It could also be a reference to [[origins]], in which Señor (along with Mr. Bland) is crushed by a falling [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*One of the sound effects that plays when the Robot gets unplugged is the loading sound from [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] and [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar's first speaking line and The Robot being introduced as such are examples of the [[Integral Article]].
*The ending music is the remix of the [[Old Intro|old intro music]], which is also heard at the end of [[flashback]] and can also be heard on [[Main Page 20]].
*The Announcer's introduction of Señor suggests that he is a resident of [[Far Off Lands|Foreign Lands]], the same place [[Thomas]] is said to be from.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mookie Wilson|Mookie Wilson]] is a former [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]] outfielder who played with the [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] from 1980 to 1989. The Mets' logo is shown in the background of the Easter egg.

*[[Wikipedia:Crazy Eights|Crazy Eights]] is a Card Game in which two players try to get rid of all their cards by discarding a card with the same number or suit as the previous card played. In this game, Eights are wild.

Should the Mad magazine or the sports show reference be the one used? There are four possible votes.

* Neither, TTATOT

:The sports show's title is a perfect match. And I believe TBC have made many more sports references than MAD references. So I think the sports show is definitely the winner here.

:I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40 00:24]], 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:::It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.)

I would like to point out that it only makes sense to mention that "gipped" is an ethnic slur if we believe that the Brothers Chap did mean it that way. But as the annony said himself, this meaning might not be obvious to Americans, i.e. the Brothers Chap. Furthermore, they also used the less obvious "gipped" instead of "gypped", giving us even less reason to believe they meant it that way. I myself am not willing to accuse them of ethnic slander on the basis of such brittle assumptions.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I don't agree. It makes sense to mention it because it's a point of cultural significance, not because TBC '''know''' it's a slur or '''meant''' it as such. Furthermore it's an opportunity to educate. I'm not accusing anyone of insensitivity, I'm trying to bring it to light so ignorance isn't perpetuated. If my kid followed Strong Bad's example, I'd want him to know what he's really saying. Same with anyone who reads hrwiki.org. Believe me, countless Fun Facts are far less "notable" and far, far, far more '''obvious'''. And this '''would not''' be the first Fun Fact that TBC might not have known about.

The fact remains: unless you (198 or anyone else) can provide a source to support your stance that "gypped" is derived from "gypsy", to counter the [http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-gyp1.htm link that has been mentioned several times], then it's ''not'' going to be a Fun Fact... we just don't quote things as ''fact'' that are in question among academics. And no, a link like [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=gyp this one] that just says "probably short for Gypsy" doesn't count... it's just an assertion, no actual evidence, and it still restrains it with "probably". If you do find one then it'll probably go to STUFF, since it becomes just a purely "is this notable" debate, but before then it's a discussion of facts and belongs on a talk page. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Here's a discussion on possible origins for the word "gyp": http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/8/messages/634.html; it does appear that no one knows just how it came into useage. Odd, for such a relatively recent word. --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 23:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::::::in regard to the discussion about the word gyp itself, 3 things: the roma came to europe in the 1500, 2. in regard to the servants at the college, they had to get their name from somewhere, possiply it is derived from gypsy itself. 3. gee-up, this is a stupid derivation. they just wanted to continue to use the word and have a non-racial derivation to continue to use it. 4. in regard for its use being recent, and localized to the united states, while the origin of the word gypsy is in england, there is a possible link to early silent films trying to sensationalize things by using contraversial stereotypes. 5. three my lord three!! {{User:Csours/sig}} 03:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Re number 2: I [http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-gyp1.htm link to here once again], which says that it comes "from the obsolete French ''jupeau''."

:yea, if there was any kind of discussion in the email or toon about ethnicity or things like that, this might be a fun fact. as it is, i would consider it ttatot. i DO happen to think that gypped or gipped (as you cant discern a difference between the pronounciations in american english they are the same word to me) is a racial slur against the roma people, but i do not think it is in any way pertinent to the discussion of this email, as most people do not have any idea that there is a real group of people called gypsies or roma. {{User:Csours/sig}} 03:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

== Based on the comedy of... ==

I don't think that's just a reference to Jerry Seinfeld. I'm pretty sure that phrase is used on and about other sitcoms centered around a character played by a stand up comedian; I know they say "based on the comedy of Ray Romano" in the credits of Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've heard the phrase "based on the comedy of Bernie Mac" used in regards to The Bernie Mac Show. And then they used the phrase "based on the comedy of Gollum" on Saturday Night Live in the credits of the fictional sitcom "A Hard Hobbit to Break". but that last one's just the cough of a metaphorically dying poster who realizes he only has two barely credible citations for his argument. Then again, these could just be a few isolated events and my comments shall be criticized until destruction. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 02:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:As I wrote that Fun Fact, let me respond. Yes, ELR uses a similar credit. But this credit happens as Strong Bad is in front of a red brick wall. That's a direct reference to ''Seinfeld'', clearly. Why then would the credit be a generic reference when it's deliberately coupled with a specific one? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

::I've also heard the phrase used for "Home Improvement", "Lucky Louie", "Schimmel", "Everybody Hates Chris", "The George Lopez Show", "I Love Lucy", "Fat Albert" and even "Merv the Perv" on Saturday Night Live. A simple Google search will show anyone that people use this phrase tons of times unrelated to Jerry Seinfeld! It may be a partial reference in the email seeing as the phrase is also used referring to "Seinfeld" but not completely! {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 12:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

==Live Studio Audience==
Does anyone else feel it's worth mentioning that this is the second time that the claim has been made that Strong Bad Emails are filmed before a live studio audience? Strong Bad said that at the begining of super powers.--[[User:71.14.74.35|71.14.74.35]] 17:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:Second ocurrences usually aren't worth noting. However, something could be added to [[Strong Bad Email]] noting, "Strong Bad's Emails are apparently filmed before a live studio audience, as he says in [[super powers]] and [[theme song]]" or something like that. [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 00:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

::I'd say "unnotable" at this point. The [[super powers]] line was a one-off, and this one was clearly a reference to TV shows. If it occurs again, perhaps then it'll be notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

== Unaired pilot? ==

The reference to 'the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see' reminds me of Firefly. The opening sequence of that was filled with clips from the show's pilot which wasn't aired, and Strong Bad is floating in space as he says it, which also resembles Firefly's pilot.

== period + e = New button? ==

While singing the opening theme, when Strong Bad types the .exe to 'brow-ser', you only hear him hitting the keyboard three times. But, he types in 4 letters. The '.', the two 'e's, and the 'x'.

:''The song Strong Bad sings at the beginning and end of this email refers to a "rainstorm in your browser," but e-mail is usually viewed in a separate email client, not a browser. (Although webmail services do exist, Strong Bad does not appear to be using one.)''

This is not a STUFF question, because it's still a question of whether we are interpreting the toon correctly, not whether it's a fun enough fact. Specifically, the issue is whether we believe Strong Bad is referring to himself or us. I believe he's referring to us and our browsers, not his email client. If the consensus of this discussion should be that he's talking about this email client, only ''then'' would it be appropriate to STUFF it to decide whether it's notable enough to list. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

== A Song From The Sixties? ==

Can anyone come up with song references from Homsar's speeches? 'Gravy train' could be a reference to Pink Floyd's 'Have a Cigar' but maybe it's just some of his home-spun wisdom. Also, not a direct quote, but 'a million ladies tall' feels sort of like 'half a century high' ala Phil Ochs. Just some random stabs here, it seemed a lot more cohesive in my mind.
:"Gravy Train" is a common phrase meaning getting a lot of money (or something along those lines. Also, Have a Cigar was written in 1975, so it's clearly not a song from the sixties.

== Move? ==

== A Hypothesis About Homsar's Behavior ==

I have a hypothesis concerning why Homsar behaves the way he does.

I believe that Homsar was drafted and sent to Vietnam in the late sixties ("I'm a song from the sixties." could be a reference to this because many songs in the sixties were about the war in Vietnam) and there he witnessed some horrible things that resulted in a dreadful case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To escape his flashbacks after retuning home he began taking copious amounts of LSD and rapidly became psychologically dependant on it. After a decade or so of this heavy use, Homsar cleaned himself up; but the side effects from the long-term LSD use compounded by his PTSD cause him to be detached from reality much to this day in the form of incorrect visual identification of objects, mental incongruity, and flashbacks to Vietnam (explaining Homsar's frequent screaming episodes).

Some might argue with me about my analysis, saying that Homsar is simply retarded. I admit to you that this might be tempting to say, but if he were truly retarded many of the pop culture references Homsar makes would be near impossible because most forms of retardation limit the individual's vocabulary for such things; and furthermore, retardation does not often result in rampant grammatical structure disjunction and word misapplication, as seen in Homsar's case, especially when compared to the symptoms seen in long-term LSD ex-users.

:I'll second this sentiment. Nobody who chats about or looks up Homsar in a fansite wiki, for goodness sakes, has a right to talk! Besides, Homsar is an enigma, floating between the intelligible and the random, like a dream. I say he is a being of great power for this. Regardless, he begs this sort of exploration! -Shufei

You got it all wrong. Homsar is a jar of mayonase from the sixties that got left out next to the TV (hense the constant references to old shows) and witnessed the goings on of the kitchen (thus being raised by a cup of coffee). The mayo spoiled and some odd bacteria gegan to grow on it, eventualy evolving into a half-sentient being that can walk and talk, albeit strangely. Given a few centuries, he may hope to attain Homestar's level of inteligence. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 13:54, 21 Jul 2005 (PDT)

I agree about the Heavy Lourde being Homsar's problem, but I believe it's just brain and/or spinal cord damage, considering it fell on his head.
-Mortacai

If something actually caused Homsar to become nonsensical, it would probably have been the [[Heavy Lourde]].

I don't think this should be listed as "may or may not be by the Brothers Chaps".

* No, I don't. It's arguable if what much of Homsar says makes sense (For instance, I think "I do as I'm told" is just Homsarish gibberish despite the fact that it makes some sense in context), and this isn't a page for Homsar quotes—aside from his character transcript (which EVERY character has) this is just a biography page. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'd go with a merge, except I disagree that it "has a mind of its own," because it always seems to follow a particular logic to its flight paths (or orbit) from and back to Homsar's head. I think it usually "takes flight" when Homsar is trying to emphasize something, which is pretty much every time he says anything.

== Examples in Biography? ==

Okay, this is coming up fairly consistently in the Biography, so I wanted to pose a question to the people who run the show around here: Do we need specific examples of oddness in interacting with Homsar in his biography? For example, is it appropriate to point out that Homsar called Strong Sad "That Rhinoceros", and quoting Strong Bad's comment about Homsar in [[interview]]?

:::::I guess more importantly, I've seen a lot of similar edits get reverted for one reason or another. My reason for changing the line about "That Rhinoceros" was to clarify that Homsar SOMETIMES does refer to other characters by their real names, and I felt the best way to write that was to say "He refers to other characters by random nicknames from time to time". Also, the "conversations" example seemed redundant and unnecessary to me, and like I said, I've seen things like that get zapped pretty consistently in the past. That's why I brought this up. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 00:16, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Consistency is a tricky thing around here, because it all depends on what you ask and, probably more importantly, when you ask and ''whom'' you ask. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::::::By the way, other than when he was introduced, when has Homsar called someone by their given name? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:18, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::::In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], when he thanks Marzipan for the flowers. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 00:21, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::Wow. I just listened to that, and Homsar was so... ''normal'' sounding. Weird. But you gotta consider the context: that answering machine was released when the Strong Bad Emails were still in single digits, and was only Homsar's second appearance—before his personality was developed at all. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::::::Wow. All this discussion because I put examples in Homsar's Biography? Trippy. I just thought it would be nice to have some specific times he is being strange rather than just stating it. Just saying someone is wierd isn't nearly as effective as citing examples, but that's just my opinion. In response to It's Dot Com, yeah, Homsar does sound way too normal in that answering machine. He's almost...intelligable. Freaky. Anyway, just stating my reasons. thanks! {{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 01:24, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::::Heya Jeff. Just wanted to make sure you didn't feel like I was trying to pick on you there - I wasn't. I guess we just disagree on the specific-examples idea, so I was posing the question to a larger audience. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 19:19, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

== Up-side Down ==
I just realized. Homsar's stood upside-down twice in the Field before! His character video, and A Folky Tale! A coupla more times and we's gots a running gag! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
:He also stood on the top of the screen in [[Halloween Fairstival]], but it's more an element of his character than a running gag. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

==separate pages==
I dont know where to put this, so I'll just put this here.
<center>WE NEED A SEPERATE PAGE FOR CHARACTER VIDEOS</center>
It looks messy how it is right now, not just on Homsars page, but on all the other characters' pages. The fun facts seem a bit out of place on the characters pages, but they'd fit just fine on a character videos page. Anyone with me? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
:I don't think we need separate pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

== Nonsense Incarnate ==

Just opening this thread to discuss the phrase "Nonsense incarnate" (Homsar is nonsense incarnate). My understanding is that "Person is X incarnate" is grammatically correct, and that it means the concept X is embodied in Person. The most common real-life use of this phrasing I'm aware of is "Person is the Devil incarnate" - usually to refer to an unruly child, a particularly heinous criminal, etc. I have, however, NEVER heard the phrase "Person is the Devil incarnated" (past-tense). Anyone wanna discuss this? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's how I understand and use it. I've never heard past tense either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::The reason I brought it up is because I reverted [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homsar&diff=prev&oldid=226437 this edit], but I don't know for sure that the phrase "nonsense incarnated" is INcorrect. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

== Accent? ==

Does anyone think Homsar's thick southern accent should be mentioned?--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 00:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

:To me, it doesn't really sound much like a southern accent {even though I live in the south). I think Homsar just has an accent all his own. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:55, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I live in the South as well, and I don't have that accent, but some people around me do. Anyway, southern or not, do you think it is worth mentioning? --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 20:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
::Nope; it's not so much an accent as a "voice," in the way that all H*R characters have distinctive voices. I seriously doubt that any particular geographical location could be linked to Homsar's speech patterns (or, if so, I wanna go there ''right now''!) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

== Hidden message ==

Why is there a hidden message in the caption for Homsar that says "DO NOT CHANGE THIS. The revert wars are getting tedious"? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:42, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, a few months ago we had a few people who went around constantly changing the captions on the pages, so we had to keep changing it back. Hence, revert war. We could probably take it down now, but whatever. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::What kinda things were they changing it too? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, with Homsar, you know how it is. Everyone has their favourite Homsar quote. They kept changing it between 'Captain of the Gravy Train' to something else and back again. Eventually, they settled on a non-quote caption and added the little message. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Oh, OK. That's what I thought it was, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

== Caption ==

Anyone else notice the caption used on the pic on this page is one of the things Homsar never actually said? He may not have been raised by a cup of coffee. But he is the captain of the gravy train. Well, that's why I'm editing the caption. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, someone changed it after you edited it. I set it to be the same as the slogan on his T-shirt (the cup of coffee). I have a bigger question, though: Why does his caption have to be static? He has a lot of good ones. What difference would it really make if we changed it once a week? Some pages get edited a lot more often than that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

::Edit wars. Before the comment, several times a day the caption was changed. We don't want it again. And who shall get to decide what to change it to every week?

Okay, on an experimental basis, I have enabled a random quote feature, based on [[MediaWiki:HomsarQuotes]] (unfortunately, only sysops can edit MediaWiki pages, but we should be fine for a while). Also, if you don't like the current quote, you can press the handy "cycle quote" button at the top of this talk page. Everybody go press that button ''right now!'' Got that out of your system? Good. Now if the anonnies will just cooperate... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

== Speculation? ==

A new section called "Analysis of Homsar's Character" was recently added to this page. While I'm duly impressed that someone took the trouble to write this analysis, the section seems to me to be speculatory and non-encyclopedic. I didn't feel right just removing it without getting others' opinions, though. What do you all think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

:I'm not sure either way. Yes, it is speculative, but we've allowed speculation in smaller doses elsewhere, like sbemail fun facts. And the preponderance of the preceding text paints him out to be a "little weirdo" so the few inches taken up proposing he might actually be a savant genius isn't so intrusive.

:Again, I'm not sure, but I don't think it's so bad it should be deleted. STUFF'ed, maybe. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:31, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
::Just one little note: STUFFing is only for Fun Facts. Discussions about other contents of pages usually takes place on talk pages, like is happening now. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Ya, what you said. I meant, if STUFF was used for this sort of thing. I guess we simply need more input. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I liked it, but now I see it is just another one of the theories about Homsar. I say delete if you say delete. {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:I got rid of it. It was uncohesive, largely speculative, and didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Plus the small bits of the section that ''were'' legitimate and plausible were already covered at different places on the page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

== Psychokinesis ==

"Support for this theory is not only the fact that Homsar's hat floats whenever he speaks, but that it can float even when he isn't. "
This sentence seems very odd to me. I fully support all of the armless characters' psychokinesis (as opposed to invisible arms) but I don't see this sentence supporting it. What does it matter that his hat floats both when he is and isn't talking? [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

== Word Salads ==

Since I couldn't find the place where we discussed this previously, I'll bring it up again here. I have an issue with the Speech section stating that Homsar speaks in "word salads". The description of word salad in that section is totally correct, but I don't think it applies to Homsar's general speech. The only time I've seen word salads connected with Homsar has been in [[interview]], where Strong Bad was basically mocking Homsar with a pen puppet. "DaAa, Rightio. I think I can twice" is probably the best word salad on the site, and that was Strong Bad making that up, not Homsar actually saying it.

Generally speaking, Homsar's statements are less gibberish and more out-of-context. Aside from his first two appearances ([[homsar]] and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]]), virtually everything he's said has made some sort of sense, but it's rare that two sentences relate to each other, or that a statement to another character matches the context of what the other character said. This isn't quite "word salad", however.

Not sure what my ultimate point with this Talk topic is, but I figured I'd bring it up anyway. :) T'would be the pride of the peaches, I'm sure. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

:The first mention I can find of it in the article is in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homsar&diff=76749&oldid=75741 this edit] from 2 May 2005. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

::Right. My point, though, is that Homsar does make SOME sense in some cases, whereas he doesn't in others. An example: "Hi Strong Bayad! Is that rhinoceros around?" in [[interview]] - Homsar was looking for Strong Sad, so his question makes sense. His next statement, "I'm a song from the sixties", makes no sense at all in that context, and that could qualify as a word salad. As another example, though, "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine!" in [[army]], could be a perfectly reasonable response to Homestar's call to action.

::So, to say that he speaks frequently or entirely in word salads would be incorrect, IMO - in fact, I think he tends to just have a funny way of saying things most of the time, and he uses word salads only every now and then. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Note that Wikipedia mentions Homsar on both the [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|article]] and [[Wikipedia:Talk:Word salad (mental health)|talk page]] about word salads. I bring this up not to suggest that we necessarily follow their article, just that we take into account what they have to say and, if anything big is decided from this discussion, that the appropriate comments and/or changes be made there too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

::::[[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|I've done a detailed analysis]] on Homsar's speech patterns, and I think I've conclusively proven that Homsar does not suffer (much) from word salad. In fact, he's actually quite coherent most of the time. It seems that if he needs to, he can and does relate well to his environment, but when he doesn't need to, he's prone to saying random things - if for no other reason than just to have something to say.

::::What's everyone's opinion on posting this analysis as an official article, or posting it to this Talk page, so we can link to it from the main Homsar article without it linking to my user space? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 07:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

::::(PS to It's dot com: Because of this analysis, I removed the reference to Homsar from the word salad article on WP. :)) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 08:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

:::::I definitely think the analysis should be linked to for all to see (and build upon). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

::::::Done and done! {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 15:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== Need examples of wailing affecting environment ==

Talk:Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

Stongbah — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 16:55:05 GMT

Stongbah: /* Fat hawiian guy? */

{{featuredarticle}}
==Introduction==
This is a section for all those characters that only appeared once or twice in the Teen Girl Squad, and aren't good enough for their own page. I just started, and now I have to go to bed, so it barely has any information yet.

This was suggested by Dr. Haggis, I believe, in the Dinosaur page. (which can be deleted now)Pretty much all the info on it right now is from that page anyway. If someone thinks this page here shouldn't exist, go ahead and voice your opinion.

It does need a lot more data, so go ahead and update it. Remember, I don't know how to do pictures at all. Good night, guys. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:35, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good start Joshua. I'm keeping the old pages around for a short while to let people voice any disagreements. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 21:00, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

Thanks. And remember guys, put the minor characters in order of when they first appeared in the series.

==Fat hawiian guy?==
I think the fat hawaiian guy is based on the real actual person who redid the over the rainbow song, and he played the ukelele and recently died. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?[[User:Dacty|Dacty]]
:Yeah IZ. But, I think he's still alive. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 16:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

==Real Characters Spot?==
Oh, and should we include characters that were put into the TGS, like PomPom, Strong Bad and Visor Robot? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:08, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

:No, only characters that started in TGS should go here I think. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 07:36, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Minor Characters?==
Alright, should I move the Mrs. Commanderson and Mrs. So-and-So-erson articles into here, since they are technicly minor characters? Or should they stay separate? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 17:44, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
::I need an answer or I'll just do it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 09:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

No, both characters are named and have somewhat major roles. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:58, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I think since they only appear for a brief time, they ''should'' be considered minor characters. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]

To me, a Minor Teen Girl Squad Character is like a reject:

* It does not have any lines or important role in any toon
* It appears in only one toon
* It is only mentioned or appears in passing
* No character interacts with it

Mrs. Commanderson and Mrs. So-and-So-erson may appear in only one toon, but they have lines and a character interacts them. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:12, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Some "Minor Characters" break those rules.
*"Brett Bretterson" has an important role in the toon he appears. (distracting So and So)
*Some, like the "Intercom" appear more than once in their toon and have lines and somewhat major roles in the toon they appear in.
*And some, like the "Trolls" and "A Shark" have interactions with other characters.
True, no minor characters have appeared in more than one cartoon, but neither have to two Mrs.'s.
I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but I'll say it here, too. I'm neutral on the subject. The way I see it, both of them are in a gray area, not as minor as most of these minor characters, but not a common character either.--[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 10:40, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

If you want to get technical, all those minor characters that supposedly only appear in one episode also appear in episode 10 at the ugly one's sweet someteenth birthday bash. They can all be seen in the background as the camera scans the crowd. Even the crazy learner's permit girl is there.

== To Include or Not To Include? ==

The Helicopter is arguably the first "Minor Character" of the whole TGS series. Even though the "Monster Cloud" appears moments before, it had yet to sport an evil face or eat any [[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]]. Therefore, it is the helicopter who "draws the first kill". From the way I look at it, if we can personify a cloud, why not a helicopter, too? In addition, it fulfulls all four of the 'reject requirements' that I see above. I went and uploaded a screenshot and the helicopter will have its own section in the article. Any concurrences/discrepancies on the matter? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 01:33, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Law & Order==
Was anyone else reminded of "Law & Order" by the beginning of this page? You could easily restructure the beginning to say:
"In the Teen Girl Squad comic, some characters make a very brief appearance, often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again. These are their stories. *DONG DONG*" [[User:ComputerBox|Tom]] 12:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

:I laid down the basic outline and got all the data in the file. It's good, but not perfect. If you think something should be reworded, go ahead and change it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 12:22, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Technically, this was a joke. But whatever. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:28, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Include Info==
It is recomended that we try to include as much info from the source pages they are copied here. Articles like this are a great way to include minor things without having to go through that old 'reject/inside joke' thing. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 20:51, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Picture Width==
Should all the pictures really be the same length? I see why this would be originally wanted, but it really lowers the quality of some of the pictures, even as much as to make me want them back to how they used to be. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 18:03, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

No, but we should try to make them all the same width. If this means re-capturing them so be it. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 20:49, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Oops, I meant width. But recaptering some of them wouldn't be too bad of an idea. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:36, 16 Mar 2005 (MST)

::I have 'recaptured' some of the pixelated images and replaced the JPEG ones with PNG ones. Could someone with [[HRWiki:Administrators|sysop]] privileges go ahead and delete the following images? (it would free up server space!) --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 23:55, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
::Update: Thanks, [[User:Drhaggis|Doc]]! Now we've got a semi-decent looking page over there. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 01:33, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Talk moved from "Fatty's Big Chance" ==

Should this be renamed? I would think that the character's name is just "Fatty", and that it is his big chance...I don't think "Fatty's Big Chance" is the correct character name. Anyone think that I shouldn't move/rename it? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 07:41, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Fatty's Big Chance is how the one man band was introduced onto stage, so the article should be on "the band". The Character likely has a different name and doesnt need a separate article at this time.[[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 15:40, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Fatty now has a place in [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]]. This article can now be deleted. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

I don't know if this a good idea, people may look for Fatty's Big Chance in the [[:Category:Bands|Bands category]]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 08:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good point. If this article is kept, someone needs to chance Fatty's name, because in this article, the name of the band AND the player is considered to be "Fatty's Big Chance." --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 10:26, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Vultures? ==

Are the vultures that ate Mr. Pitters the same vultures that SWOOP'D The Ugly One?--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 00:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:As we all know now, no. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 18:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Upper Pic ==
I personally like the way the main pic was before, with the text not all scrunched up and the TOC not so wide. T-bird seems to disagree. Any other opinions? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 04:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

== Link to Mrs. C? ==

Why isn't there a link to the Mrs. Commanderson article in issue 7, as there is for Mrs. So-and-So-Erson?

== sneak ==

why am i nto allowed to say that the possums look like the sneak?

== Cheerleader Lies! ==

On the page it says, "Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that 'the olympics are soooo dumb!'"
I thought it was obvious (when I watched the issue) that Cheerleader clearly made that up, not realizing the Coach would be in the trouble he was.
- [[User:Thnikkaguy|Thnikkaguy]]

:No, I don't think so. The "olympics are soooo dumb" phrase comes from the cell phone ''while'' [[Cheerleader]] is talking. That, and if he never said it, olympic man would be mad at someone else, not the coach. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

== Move Sci-Fi and DND Greg? ==
Should we move Science Fiction Greg and DND Greg to their own articles? They've both had two appearances, so I think that counts as not being "minor" any longer. Thoughts? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:Some characters on this page have had three appearences, but then again, they seem to have more major roles than the other characters such as the dinosaur; "PUNT!" and then you see him in the background of the full color issue and that's it. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 16:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
::They have about the same importance as [[Manolios Ugly One]] and he have his own article. They are named and had a major plot point in TGS11. Unless no one else objects, I'm splitting them from this article. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I'm fine with that. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 20:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

''{The toon opens with the title "Summer Short Shorts" on a photo of blue shorts. Cut to Marshmallow's Last Stand. The camera pans across the table, which is littered with french fries and ketchup}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' C'mon, The Cheat! You can do one more! Just one more!

''{the camera zooms out, showing The Cheat sitting opposite Strong Bad at the table, with Strong Mad behind Strong Bad. The Cheat's mouth is crammed full of fries, he has purple bags under his eyes, and is whimpering}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pops up near The Cheat, wearing a brown hat with a press pass}'' ''{speaking quickly}'' Oh, have you heard the latest news? ''{sits back down}'' I heard the latest news, it was that you could do one more! One more!

''{The Cheat whimpers and spits a few fries onto the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad, tell your girlfriend to do one more.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!

''{Homestar Runner runs up, dressed as a waiter, with a brown cap that says 'egg.' on it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaaaand can I get you gentlemen anything else?

''{Homestar holds up a red clown shoe, and a large daisy rises from inside it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blinnnng!

''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{cut to a Powered by The Cheat landscape, showing a volcano and the caption "The Millionzoic Era". Cut to a scene showing a prehistoric Marzipan and Homestar, with a tar pit next to them}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' ''{spits green bubbles while he talks}'' Ooga, ooga. My breath, it stinks.

'''PBTC CAVEWOMAN MARZIPAN:''' ''{turns to the left, away from Homestar}'' Uh-huh!

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' Real, real bad!

''{a pterodactyl with Coach Z's hat flies in from the right}''

'''PBTC COACH Z DACTYL:''' Helicopta fly! ''{flies off to the left}''

''{A caveman Strong Bad enters from the mountains. He lands in the tar pit, which splashes Homestar and turns into a skull, which sticks to Homestar. As Strong Bad sinks to the bottom of the tar pit, his feet can be seen poking out from underneath.}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN STRONG BAD:''' Ooga. Me want set your face on fires.

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' What's fire?

'''PBTC CAVEWOMAN MARZIPAN:''' It sounds fun! Oo-ga! ''{jumps}''

''{A large The Cheat-like dinosaur runs by from the right. It then clamps its mouth around the volcano and begins "drinking" from it, accompanied by glugging noises. The Cheatsaurus then turns and breathes fire over the group, scorching them. Marzipan turns into a drumstick with its tongue sticking out, Homestar into a smiling steak with a gold tooth, and Strong Bad merely blackens}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN MARZIPAN AND HOMESTAR:''' Aaaah!

'''PBTC CAVEMAN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, me too! ''{turns into a dish with a lobster tail on it}'' I am not exempt!

'''PBTC COACH Z DACTYL:''' ''{pokes head in}'' Hey, did you see that? The Cheatsaurus can do it again!

''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{open with a few shots of leaves, then focus in on Pom Pom's head. He opens his eyes, then leaps out of a bush and jumps upwards. He does a brief pose before falling back down again. He lands on a tree branch, then begins to leap forward from branch to branch. He lands on the ground, and pops a bo staff out of himself. He twirls the staff as pictures of bamboo and a wave appear behind him. He then jumps up. Cut to a long shot of him arcing over Strong Badia and Bubs' Concession Stand. He then lands lightly next to Coach Z. He pops out a deodorant stick out of himself, and tosses it to the coach}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the smell-cakes, Pom Pom! But next time could you dispense with all the flyin' whozits?!

''{Pom Pom pulls out a small smoke bomb and throws it on the ground in front of him. When the smoke clears, Pom Pom has vanished}''

<div id="Brain_Sister">
''{cut to a black screen, while red and green lasers arc from the top and bottom of the screen. Guitar music begins, while the Limozeen logo appears in bright yellow. The logo splits, and an image of Larry appears. It changes colour, as a pair of feminine legs in fishnet walk by. Three images of Larry playing guitar appear, which meld into one of him leaping into a power chord. The words "BRAIN SISTER" rise from the bottom as Larry jumps offscreen. A calculator displaying 3.14 appears, and an outline of Texas draws itself around it. Several images of a brain, Larry, guitars, and the ZEEN part of the logo flash past in front of a crowd, until Larry zooms forward, surrounded by stars and playing guitar. More images of Larry's head flash in front of the crowd, as the lasers start again. The calculator flashes by, and the legs walk out, with a brain perched on top of them. They walk by a Limozeen amp as the song ends. The Limozeen logo flashes briefly}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{singing}''
:Well, she was only 2017.
:She was a low res beauty queen.
:She was a brain... brain... brain sister!
:Texas Instruments all day!
:And she remembers how they used to duet,
:Yeah she remembers how they used to duet!
:Th'all think you know what I mean!

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' Yeah! Oh! Ooh! All right! Uh!
</div>
''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{open in a barroom-type scene. Homestar and Pom Pom are seated at the bar. Both have an 'old one bottle, and there is a bowl of peanuts on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom. ''{gesturing with bottle}'' You and me, we're like two breads in a biscuit. ''{pokes the bottle in Pom Pom's face}'' Two breads in a biscuit! I'm gonna make a T-shirt! ''{leans in close}'' No, wait! You and me? ''{crouches to look at peanuts}'' We're like this bowl of mayonnaise here. ''{points at Pom Pom with the bottle}'' You're the bowl, 'cuz you're a big, round, fat guy. ''{Pom Pom looks angry. Homestar sits up again, now pointing at self}'' And I'm the mayonnaise, 'cuz I'm smart as peanuts. That'll make a good T-shirt too. Oop, no, wait! Before you strangle me again... You and me? ''{pulls the napkin out from under his bottle}'' Soggy napkins. ''{as Homestar says "Soggy", Pom Pom gets a dull, bored look on his face.}''

Summer Short Shorts

Stongbah: /* Transcript */ I'm pretty sure I hear "Cheatsaurus" and no "a". PbTC characters talk weird sometimes so revert if necessary.

'''Page Title:''' Dare to Bare!

==Transcript==
''{The toon opens with the title "Summer Short Shorts" on a photo of blue shorts. Cut to Marshmallow's Last Stand. The camera pans across the table, which is littered with french fries and ketchup}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' C'mon, The Cheat! You can do one more! Just one more!

''{the camera zooms out, showing The Cheat sitting opposite Strong Bad at the table, with Strong Mad behind Strong Bad. The Cheat's mouth is crammed full of fries, he has purple bags under his eyes, and is whimpering}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pops up near The Cheat, wearing a brown hat with a press pass}'' ''{speaking quickly}'' Oh, have you heard the latest news? ''{sits back down}'' I heard the latest news, it was that you could do one more! One more!

''{The Cheat whimpers and spits a few fries onto the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad, tell your girlfriend to do one more.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!

''{Homestar Runner runs up, dressed as a waiter, with a brown cap that says 'egg.' on it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaaaand can I get you gentlemen anything else?

''{Homestar holds up a red clown shoe, and a large daisy rises from inside it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blinnnng!

''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{cut to a Powered by The Cheat landscape, showing a volcano and the caption "The Millionzoic Era". Cut to a scene showing a prehistoric Marzipan and Homestar, with a tar pit next to them}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' ''{spits green bubbles while he talks}'' Ooga, ooga. My breath, it stinks.

'''PBTC CAVEWOMAN MARZIPAN:''' ''{turns to the left, away from Homestar}'' Uh-huh!

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' Real, real bad!

''{a pterodactyl with Coach Z's hat flies in from the right}''

'''PBTC COACH Z DACTYL:''' Helicopta fly! ''{flies off to the left}''

''{A caveman Strong Bad enters from the mountains. He lands in the tar pit, which splashes Homestar and turns into a skull, which sticks to Homestar. As Strong Bad sinks to the bottom of the tar pit, his feet can be seen poking out from underneath.}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN STRONG BAD:''' Ooga. Me want set your face on fires.

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' What's fire?

'''PBTC CAVEWOMAN MARZIPAN:''' It sounds fun! Oo-ga! ''{jumps}''

''{A large The Cheat-like dinosaur runs by from the right. It then clamps its mouth around the volcano and begins "drinking" from it, accompanied by glugging noises. The Cheatsaurus then turns and breathes fire over the group, scorching them. Marzipan turns into a drumstick with its tongue sticking out, Homestar into a smiling steak with a gold tooth, and Strong Bad merely blackens}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN MARZIPAN AND HOMESTAR:''' Aaaah!

'''PBTC CAVEMAN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, me too! ''{turns into a dish with a lobster tail on it}'' I am not exempt!

'''PBTC COACH Z DACTYL:''' ''{pokes head in}'' Hey, did you see that? The Cheatsaurus can do it again!

''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{open with a few shots of leaves, then focus in on Pom Pom's head. He opens his eyes, then leaps out of a bush and jumps upwards. He does a brief pose before falling back down again. He lands on a tree branch, then begins to leap forward from branch to branch. He lands on the ground, and pops a bo staff out of himself. He twirls the staff as pictures of bamboo and a wave appear behind him. He then jumps up. Cut to a long shot of him arcing over Strong Badia and Bubs' Concession Stand. He then lands lightly next to Coach Z. He pops out a deodorant stick out of himself, and tosses it to the coach}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the smell-cakes, Pom Pom! But next time could you dispense with all the flyin' whozits?!

''{Pom Pom pulls out a small smoke bomb and throws it on the ground in front of him. When the smoke clears, Pom Pom has vanished}''

''{cut back to the title screen}''
<div id="Brain_Sister">
''{cut to a black screen, while red and green lasers arc from the top and bottom of the screen. Guitar music begins, while the Limozeen logo appears in bright yellow. The logo splits, and an image of Larry appears. It changes colour, as a pair of feminine legs in fishnet walk by. Three images of Larry playing guitar appear, which meld into one of him leaping into a power chord. The words "BRAIN SISTER" rise from the bottom as Larry jumps offscreen. A calculator displaying 3.14 appears, and an outline of Texas draws itself around it. Several images of a brain, Larry, guitars, and the ZEEN part of the logo flash past in front of a crowd, until Larry zooms forward, surrounded by stars and playing guitar. More images of Larry's head flash in front of the crowd, as the lasers start again. The calculator flashes by, and the legs walk out, with a brain perched on top of them. They walk by a Limozeen amp as the song ends. The Limozeen logo flashes briefly}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{singing}''
:Well, she was only 2017.
:She was a low res beauty queen.
:She was a brain... brain... brain sister!
:Texas Instruments all day!
:And she remembers how they used to duet,
:Yeah she remembers how they used to duet!
:Th'all think you know what I mean!

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' Yeah! Oh! Ooh! All right! Uh!
</div>
''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{open in a barroom-type scene. Homestar and Pom Pom are seated at the bar. Both have an 'old one bottle, and there is a bowl of peanuts on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom. ''{gesturing with bottle}'' You and me, we're like two breads in a biscuit. ''{pokes the bottle in Pom Pom's face}'' Two breads in a biscuit! I'm gonna make a T-shirt! ''{leans in close}'' No, wait! You and me? ''{crouches to look at peanuts}'' We're like this bowl of mayonnaise here. ''{points at Pom Pom with the bottle}'' You're the bowl, 'cuz you're a big, round, fat guy. ''{Pom Pom looks angry. Homestar sits up again, now pointing at self}'' And I'm the mayonnaise, 'cuz I'm smart as peanuts. That'll make a good T-shirt too. Oop, no, wait! Before you strangle me again... You and me? ''{pulls the napkin out from under his bottle}'' Soggy napkins. ''{as Homestar says "Soggy", Pom Pom gets a dull, bored look on his face.}''

''{cut to the picture of the shorts from the title screen, which now just reads "End."}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the dartboard while Homestar says, "I'm gonna make a T-shirt" to see a T-shirt with a slice of bread + a slice of bread = a biscuit.

Talk:Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

Stongbah — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 20:55:56 GMT

Stongbah: /* Move Sci-Fi and DND Greg? */

{{featuredarticle}}
==Introduction==
This is a section for all those characters that only appeared once or twice in the Teen Girl Squad, and aren't good enough for their own page. I just started, and now I have to go to bed, so it barely has any information yet.

This was suggested by Dr. Haggis, I believe, in the Dinosaur page. (which can be deleted now)Pretty much all the info on it right now is from that page anyway. If someone thinks this page here shouldn't exist, go ahead and voice your opinion.

It does need a lot more data, so go ahead and update it. Remember, I don't know how to do pictures at all. Good night, guys. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:35, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good start Joshua. I'm keeping the old pages around for a short while to let people voice any disagreements. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 21:00, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

Thanks. And remember guys, put the minor characters in order of when they first appeared in the series.

==Fat hawiian guy?==
I think the fat hawaiian guy is based on the real actual person who redid the over the rainbow song, and he played the ukelele and recently died. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?[[User:Dacty|Dacty]]

==Real Characters Spot?==
Oh, and should we include characters that were put into the TGS, like PomPom, Strong Bad and Visor Robot? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:08, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

:No, only characters that started in TGS should go here I think. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 07:36, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Minor Characters?==
Alright, should I move the Mrs. Commanderson and Mrs. So-and-So-erson articles into here, since they are technicly minor characters? Or should they stay separate? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 17:44, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
::I need an answer or I'll just do it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 09:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

No, both characters are named and have somewhat major roles. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:58, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I think since they only appear for a brief time, they ''should'' be considered minor characters. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]

To me, a Minor Teen Girl Squad Character is like a reject:

* It does not have any lines or important role in any toon
* It appears in only one toon
* It is only mentioned or appears in passing
* No character interacts with it

Mrs. Commanderson and Mrs. So-and-So-erson may appear in only one toon, but they have lines and a character interacts them. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:12, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Some "Minor Characters" break those rules.
*"Brett Bretterson" has an important role in the toon he appears. (distracting So and So)
*Some, like the "Intercom" appear more than once in their toon and have lines and somewhat major roles in the toon they appear in.
*And some, like the "Trolls" and "A Shark" have interactions with other characters.
True, no minor characters have appeared in more than one cartoon, but neither have to two Mrs.'s.
I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but I'll say it here, too. I'm neutral on the subject. The way I see it, both of them are in a gray area, not as minor as most of these minor characters, but not a common character either.--[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 10:40, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

== To Include or Not To Include? ==

The Helicopter is arguably the first "Minor Character" of the whole TGS series. Even though the "Monster Cloud" appears moments before, it had yet to sport an evil face or eat any [[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]]. Therefore, it is the helicopter who "draws the first kill". From the way I look at it, if we can personify a cloud, why not a helicopter, too? In addition, it fulfulls all four of the 'reject requirements' that I see above. I went and uploaded a screenshot and the helicopter will have its own section in the article. Any concurrences/discrepancies on the matter? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 01:33, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Law & Order==
Was anyone else reminded of "Law & Order" by the beginning of this page? You could easily restructure the beginning to say:
"In the Teen Girl Squad comic, some characters make a very brief appearance, often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again. These are their stories. *DONG DONG*" [[User:ComputerBox|Tom]] 12:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

:I laid down the basic outline and got all the data in the file. It's good, but not perfect. If you think something should be reworded, go ahead and change it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 12:22, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Technically, this was a joke. But whatever. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:28, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Include Info==
It is recomended that we try to include as much info from the source pages they are copied here. Articles like this are a great way to include minor things without having to go through that old 'reject/inside joke' thing. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 20:51, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Picture Width==
Should all the pictures really be the same length? I see why this would be originally wanted, but it really lowers the quality of some of the pictures, even as much as to make me want them back to how they used to be. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 18:03, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

No, but we should try to make them all the same width. If this means re-capturing them so be it. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 20:49, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Oops, I meant width. But recaptering some of them wouldn't be too bad of an idea. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:36, 16 Mar 2005 (MST)

::I have 'recaptured' some of the pixelated images and replaced the JPEG ones with PNG ones. Could someone with [[HRWiki:Administrators|sysop]] privileges go ahead and delete the following images? (it would free up server space!) --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 23:55, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
::Update: Thanks, [[User:Drhaggis|Doc]]! Now we've got a semi-decent looking page over there. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 01:33, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Talk moved from "Fatty's Big Chance" ==

Should this be renamed? I would think that the character's name is just "Fatty", and that it is his big chance...I don't think "Fatty's Big Chance" is the correct character name. Anyone think that I shouldn't move/rename it? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 07:41, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Fatty's Big Chance is how the one man band was introduced onto stage, so the article should be on "the band". The Character likely has a different name and doesnt need a separate article at this time.[[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 15:40, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Fatty now has a place in [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]]. This article can now be deleted. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

I don't know if this a good idea, people may look for Fatty's Big Chance in the [[:Category:Bands|Bands category]]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 08:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good point. If this article is kept, someone needs to chance Fatty's name, because in this article, the name of the band AND the player is considered to be "Fatty's Big Chance." --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 10:26, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Vultures? ==

Are the vultures that ate Mr. Pitters the same vultures that SWOOP'D The Ugly One?--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 00:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:As we all know now, no. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 18:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Upper Pic ==
I personally like the way the main pic was before, with the text not all scrunched up and the TOC not so wide. T-bird seems to disagree. Any other opinions? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 04:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

== Link to Mrs. C? ==

Why isn't there a link to the Mrs. Commanderson article in issue 7, as there is for Mrs. So-and-So-Erson?

== sneak ==

why am i nto allowed to say that the possums look like the sneak?

== Cheerleader Lies! ==

On the page it says, "Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that 'the olympics are soooo dumb!'"
I thought it was obvious (when I watched the issue) that Cheerleader clearly made that up, not realizing the Coach would be in the trouble he was.

:No, I don't think so. The "olympics are soooo dumb" phrase comes from the cell phone ''while'' [[Cheerleader]] is talking. That, and if he never said it, olympic man would be mad at someone else, not the coach. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

== Move Sci-Fi and DND Greg? ==
Should we move Science Fiction Greg and DND Greg to their own articles? They've both had two appearances, so I think that counts as not being "minor" any longer. Thoughts? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:Some characters on this page have had three appearences, but then again, they seem to have more major roles than the other characters such as the dinosaur; "PUNT!" and then you see him in the background of the full color issue and that's it. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 16:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
::They have about the same importance as [[Manolios Ugly One]] and he have his own article. They are named and had a major plot point in TGS11. Unless no one else objects, I'm splitting them from this article. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Dare to Bare!

==Transcript==
''{The toon opens with the title "Summer Short Shorts" on a photo of blue shorts. Cut to Marshmallow's Last Stand. The camera pans across the table, which is littered with french fries and ketchup}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' C'mon, The Cheat! You can do one more! Just one more!

''{the camera zooms out, showing The Cheat sitting opposite Strong Bad at the table, with Strong Mad behind Strong Bad. The Cheat's mouth is crammed full of fries, he has purple bags under his eyes, and is whimpering}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pops up near The Cheat, wearing a brown hat with a press pass}'' ''{speaking quickly}'' Oh, have you heard the latest news? ''{sits back down}'' I heard the latest news, it was that you could do one more! One more!

''{The Cheat whimpers and spits a few fries onto the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad, tell your girlfriend to do one more.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!

''{Homestar Runner runs up, dressed as a waiter, with a brown cap that says 'egg.' on it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaaaand can I get you gentlemen anything else?

''{Homestar holds up a red clown shoe, and a large daisy rises from inside it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blinnnng!

''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{cut to a Powered by The Cheat landscape, showing a volcano and the caption "The Millionzoic Era". Cut to a scene showing a prehistoric Marzipan and Homestar, with a tar pit next to them}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' ''{spits green bubbles while he talks}'' Ooga, ooga. My breath, it stinks.

'''PBTC CAVEWOMAN MARZIPAN:''' ''{turns to the left, away from Homestar}'' Uh-huh!

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' Real, real bad!

''{a pterodactyl with Coach Z's hat flies in from the right}''

'''PBTC COACH Z DACTYL:''' Helicopta fly! ''{flies off to the left}''

''{A caveman Strong Bad enters from the mountains. He lands in the tar pit, which splashes Homestar and turns into a skull, which sticks to Homestar. As Strong Bad sinks to the bottom of the tar pit, his feet can be seen poking out from underneath.}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN STRONG BAD:''' Ooga. Me want set your face on fires.

'''PBTC CAVEMAN HOMESTAR:''' What's fire?

'''PBTC CAVEWOMAN MARZIPAN:''' It sounds fun! Oo-ga! ''{jumps}''

''{A large The Cheat-like dinosaur runs by from the right. It then clamps its mouth around the volcano and begins "drinking" from it, accompanied by glugging noises. The Cheatsaurus then turns and breathes fire over the group, scorching them. Marzipan turns into a drumstick with its tongue sticking out, Homestar into a smiling steak with a gold tooth, and Strong Bad merely blackens}''

'''PBTC CAVEMAN MARZIPAN AND HOMESTAR:''' Aaaah!

'''PBTC CAVEMAN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, me too! ''{turns into a dish with a lobster tail on it}'' I am not exempt!

'''PBTC COACH Z DACTYL:''' ''{pokes head in}'' Hey, did you see that? The Cheatasaurus can do it again!

''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{open with a few shots of leaves, then focus in on Pom Pom's head. He opens his eyes, then leaps out of a bush and jumps upwards. He does a brief pose before falling back down again. He lands on a tree branch, then begins to leap forward from branch to branch. He lands on the ground, and pops a bo staff out of himself. He twirls the staff as pictures of bamboo and a wave appear behind him. He then jumps up. Cut to a long shot of him arcing over Strong Badia and Bubs' Concession Stand. He then lands lightly next to Coach Z. He pops out a deodorant stick out of himself, and tosses it to the coach}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the smell-cakes, Pom Pom! But next time could you dispense with all the flyin' whozits?!

''{Pom Pom pulls out a small smoke bomb and throws it on the ground in front of him. When the smoke clears, Pom Pom has vanished}''

''{cut back to the title screen}''
<div id="Brain_Sister">
''{cut to a black screen, while red and green lasers arc from the top and bottom of the screen. Guitar music begins, while the Limozeen logo appears in bright yellow. The logo splits, and an image of Larry appears. It changes colour, as a pair of feminine legs in fishnet walk by. Three images of Larry playing guitar appear, which meld into one of him leaping into a power chord. The words "BRAIN SISTER" rise from the bottom as Larry jumps offscreen. A calculator displaying 3.14 appears, and an outline of Texas draws itself around it. Several images of a brain, Larry, guitars, and the ZEEN part of the logo flash past in front of a crowd, until Larry zooms forward, surrounded by stars and playing guitar. More images of Larry's head flash in front of the crowd, as the lasers start again. The calculator flashes by, and the legs walk out, with a brain perched on top of them. They walk by a Limozeen amp as the song ends. The Limozeen logo flashes briefly}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{singing}''
:Well, she was only 2017.
:She was a low res beauty queen.
:She was a brain... brain... brain sister!
:Texas Instruments all day!
:And she remembers how they used to duet,
:Yeah she remembers how they used to duet!
:Th'all think you know what I mean!

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' Yeah, those moves, all right! Uh!
</div>
''{cut back to the title screen}''

''{open in a barroom-type scene. Homestar and Pom Pom are seated at the bar. Both have an 'old one bottle, and there is a bowl of peanuts on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom. ''{gesturing with bottle}'' You and me, we're like two breads in a biscuit. ''{pokes the bottle in Pom Pom's face}'' Two breads in a biscuit! I'm gonna make a T-shirt! ''{leans in close}'' No, wait! You and me? ''{crouches to look at peanuts}'' We're like this bowl of mayonnaise here. ''{points at Pom Pom with the bottle}'' You're the bowl, 'cuz you're a big, round, fat guy. ''{Pom Pom looks angry. Homestar sits up again, now pointing at self}'' And I'm the mayonnaise, 'cuz I'm smart as peanuts. That'll make a good T-shirt too. Oop, no, wait! Before you strangle me again... You and me? ''{pulls the napkin out from under his bottle}'' Soggy napkins. ''{as Homestar says "Soggy", Pom Pom gets a dull, bored look on his face.}''

''{cut to the picture of the shorts from the title screen, which now just reads "End."}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the dartboard while Homestar says, "I'm gonna make a T-shirt" to see a T-shirt with a slice of bread + a slice of bread = a biscuit.
*Click on the dartboard again while Homestar says, "That'll make a good T-shirt too" to see a T-shirt with a bowl of mayo and the words "Smart as Peanuts!"
[[Image:Very Very Little Girl.PNG|thumb|"You've got no interest in the crazy man over here, do you?"]]
*Click on the "n" in "End" to see a [[Puppet Stuff]] short.
:''{The title "Homestar vs. Very Very Little Girl" appears. Scene opens to reveal the very, very little girl is swinging and Homestar is standing next to the swing.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hello, very, very little girl. Take it away.
:''{piano flourish, crickets, another piano flourish}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got no material with this kid. Say something cute. Talk about picking your nose. You seem like a smart kid. You wanna go out some time?
:''{Music from the Pom Pom short plays. Homestar dances.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got no interest in the crazy man over here, do you?
:''{Homestar Runner comes too close to the swing and is hit three times.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OW! ... OW! ... UH!
:''{The screen goes black and "end." appears on the screen.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The Limozeen sequence simulates a [[Lasers|laser show]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:Freecountry_silhouette.png|thumb|The layout of the land, err.. Free Country in silhouette form.]]
*Short shorts were mentioned just a week earlier with Camp Counselor Shortshorts in [[Teen Girl Squad 11]].
*After the Coach Z Dactyl flies by for the first time, it remains off camera at the left edge of the animation until just after Caveman Strong Bad splashes tar on Caveman Homestar, at which time the Dactyl pops back into view for a frame or two before disappearing in preparation for its second flight.
*The Pom Pom short reveals that Bubs' Concession Stand abuts Strong Badia, and apparently a lush forest exists beyond that.
*Pom Pom shows off his skills with the [[Wikipedia:Bo (weapon)|bo]].
*At the February 2006 [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward]], [[Matt Chapman]] mentioned that [[Missy Palmer]] was pregnant—the [[Very, Very Little Girl]] in the Easter egg is perhaps [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and Missy's baby.
*The music at the beginning of Homestar vs. Very, Very Little Girl comes from Strong Bad's kids' show in [[for kids]].
*Very, Very Little Girl is in a [[Wikipedia:Fisher-Price|Fisher-Price]] B0639 Cradle Swing with the Rubber Ducky pattern.

===Goofs===
*The french fry on the table loses its reflection after the cut to the wider shot.
*The french fries The Cheat spits out have no reflection.
*The sky can be seen inside Bubs' Concession Stand during Pom Pom's scene. This would only be possible if one of the walls were missing.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Barscene anim.gif|thumb=Barscene_animated_comparison.gif|Déjà Vu Anyone?]]
*The same short shorts on the title screen are worn by [[Matt Chapman]] in an Easter egg in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]].
*Homestar has an [[Eggs|egg]] on his hat in the restaurant sequence, which also features the same French fries and bottles of [[Quite Fancy 'Chup]] first seen in [[funny]].
*[[Portmanteaus|Millionzoic]] Homestar turns into a [[Steak|steak]] with a [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]].
*"The ol' Cheatasaurus" is what Strong Bad [[Nicknames|nicknamed]] The Cheat in [[other days]].
*There is a [[LEMKE]] flag on the wall in the bar scene.
*Homestar mentions [[Bread|bread]] in the bar scene.
*The "guitar stars" featured in the laser show are from [[rock opera]].
*The solar calculator during the Limozeen laser show is similar to the one on the chalkboard in [[technology]], which also displayed [[Wikipedia:Pi|3.14]].
*The bar scene with Homestar and Pom Pom drinking [[Cold One|'old ones]] is almost identical to a scene near the end of the [[Theme Song Video]]. The scene, minus Homestar and Pom Pom, also appeared in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*The back beat during the scene with Pom Pom is also from [[Theme Song Video]].
*The scene where Pom Pom suddenly opens his eyes during an extreme close-up is yet another reference to [[Theme Song Video]], in which the same thing happens while Pom Pom is in a dojo.
*The spinning guitars in the Brain Sister sequence also appeared in [[rock opera]].
*The scene in The Millionzoic Era resembles the MS Paint picture Strong Mad sends Strong Bad of a brontosaurus eating bacon and eggs at the end of [[lunch special]].

===Real-World References===
*Texas circumscribing the calculator and the lyrics of the song are a reference to [[Wikipedia:Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments]], a computer and electronics development company.
*One of the backgrounds of Pom Pom's Bo routine is modeled after the [[Wikipedia:Ukiyo-e|ukiyo-e]] woodblock painting [[Wikipedia:Image:Tsunami by hokusai 19th century.jpg|"The Great Wave Off Kanagawa"]] by [[Wikipedia:Hokusai|Hokusai]].
*The Limozeen lyrics "Well, she was only twenty-seventeen." and "I think you know what I mean!" are references to the lyrics "Well she was just seventeen. You know what I mean." from [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]] song "[[Wikipedia:I Saw Her Standing There|I Saw Her Standing There]]". Also, the second line of the Beatles song originally went, "Never been a beauty queen", until someone told Paul to change it.
*"Dare to Bare!" is a reference to a slogan used by hair-removal product Nair, who became famous for their ad jingle where people asked "Who wears short shorts?"

The Bar

Stongbah — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 17:09:08 GMT

Stongbah: The dartboard's got shading and darker colors.

[[Image:Barscene anim.gif|thumb=Barscene_animated_comparison.gif|The Bar in [[Summer Short Shorts]] and in the [[Theme Song Video]]]]
[[Image:Barscene_badguy.png|thumb|left|The Bar]]
'''The Bar''' has appeared in a few different shorts. It seems to always feature [[Cold Ones]] or [[Cold One|'old ones]] and peanuts in a bowl on the table. It first appeared in [[Theme Song Video]] with [[Homestar]] and [[Pom Pom]]. It appeared again in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]] as [[Strong Bad]] twirls across the table.

Its third appearance was almost identical to its first in [[Summer Short Shorts]], with an update to the look of the bar.

:While categorizing pages, they are sorted by their first letter, but when doing so to templates, they are all categorized in the letter T (for '''T'''emplate). Using <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> force the system into using the true name of the page.

:Your sig is linked to [[Special:Whatlinkshere/User:Tampo/sig|from so many places]], that changing it to what you did will cause every page displaying it as that box. That box also break several [[HRWiki:Signature|signeture rules]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

Stongbah — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 16:40:07 GMT

Stongbah: /* Move Sci-Fi and DND Greg? */

{{featuredarticle}}
==Introduction==
This is a section for all those characters that only appeared once or twice in the Teen Girl Squad, and aren't good enough for their own page. I just started, and now I have to go to bed, so it barely has any information yet.

This was suggested by Dr. Haggis, I believe, in the Dinosaur page. (which can be deleted now)Pretty much all the info on it right now is from that page anyway. If someone thinks this page here shouldn't exist, go ahead and voice your opinion.

It does need a lot more data, so go ahead and update it. Remember, I don't know how to do pictures at all. Good night, guys. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:35, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good start Joshua. I'm keeping the old pages around for a short while to let people voice any disagreements. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 21:00, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)

Thanks. And remember guys, put the minor characters in order of when they first appeared in the series.

==Fat hawiian guy?==
I think the fat hawaiian guy is based on the real actual person who redid the over the rainbow song, and he played the ukelele and recently died. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?[[User:Dacty|Dacty]]

==Real Characters Spot?==
Oh, and should we include characters that were put into the TGS, like PomPom, Strong Bad and Visor Robot? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:08, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

:No, only characters that started in TGS should go here I think. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 07:36, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Minor Characters?==
Alright, should I move the Mrs. Commanderson and Mrs. So-and-So-erson articles into here, since they are technicly minor characters? Or should they stay separate? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 17:44, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
::I need an answer or I'll just do it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 09:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

No, both characters are named and have somewhat major roles. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:58, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
:I think since they only appear for a brief time, they ''should'' be considered minor characters. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]

To me, a Minor Teen Girl Squad Character is like a reject:

* It does not have any lines or important role in any toon
* It appears in only one toon
* It is only mentioned or appears in passing
* No character interacts with it

Mrs. Commanderson and Mrs. So-and-So-erson may appear in only one toon, but they have lines and a character interacts them. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:12, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Some "Minor Characters" break those rules.
*"Brett Bretterson" has an important role in the toon he appears. (distracting So and So)
*Some, like the "Intercom" appear more than once in their toon and have lines and somewhat major roles in the toon they appear in.
*And some, like the "Trolls" and "A Shark" have interactions with other characters.
True, no minor characters have appeared in more than one cartoon, but neither have to two Mrs.'s.
I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but I'll say it here, too. I'm neutral on the subject. The way I see it, both of them are in a gray area, not as minor as most of these minor characters, but not a common character either.--[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 10:40, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

== To Include or Not To Include? ==

The Helicopter is arguably the first "Minor Character" of the whole TGS series. Even though the "Monster Cloud" appears moments before, it had yet to sport an evil face or eat any [[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]]. Therefore, it is the helicopter who "draws the first kill". From the way I look at it, if we can personify a cloud, why not a helicopter, too? In addition, it fulfulls all four of the 'reject requirements' that I see above. I went and uploaded a screenshot and the helicopter will have its own section in the article. Any concurrences/discrepancies on the matter? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 01:33, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Law & Order==
Was anyone else reminded of "Law & Order" by the beginning of this page? You could easily restructure the beginning to say:
"In the Teen Girl Squad comic, some characters make a very brief appearance, often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again. These are their stories. *DONG DONG*" [[User:ComputerBox|Tom]] 12:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

:I laid down the basic outline and got all the data in the file. It's good, but not perfect. If you think something should be reworded, go ahead and change it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 12:22, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Technically, this was a joke. But whatever. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]] 12:28, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Include Info==
It is recomended that we try to include as much info from the source pages they are copied here. Articles like this are a great way to include minor things without having to go through that old 'reject/inside joke' thing. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 20:51, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Picture Width==
Should all the pictures really be the same length? I see why this would be originally wanted, but it really lowers the quality of some of the pictures, even as much as to make me want them back to how they used to be. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 18:03, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

No, but we should try to make them all the same width. If this means re-capturing them so be it. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 20:49, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Oops, I meant width. But recaptering some of them wouldn't be too bad of an idea. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:36, 16 Mar 2005 (MST)

::I have 'recaptured' some of the pixelated images and replaced the JPEG ones with PNG ones. Could someone with [[HRWiki:Administrators|sysop]] privileges go ahead and delete the following images? (it would free up server space!) --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 23:55, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
::Update: Thanks, [[User:Drhaggis|Doc]]! Now we've got a semi-decent looking page over there. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 01:33, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Talk moved from "Fatty's Big Chance" ==

Should this be renamed? I would think that the character's name is just "Fatty", and that it is his big chance...I don't think "Fatty's Big Chance" is the correct character name. Anyone think that I shouldn't move/rename it? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 07:41, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Fatty's Big Chance is how the one man band was introduced onto stage, so the article should be on "the band". The Character likely has a different name and doesnt need a separate article at this time.[[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 15:40, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Fatty now has a place in [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]]. This article can now be deleted. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 08:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

I don't know if this a good idea, people may look for Fatty's Big Chance in the [[:Category:Bands|Bands category]]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 08:29, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good point. If this article is kept, someone needs to chance Fatty's name, because in this article, the name of the band AND the player is considered to be "Fatty's Big Chance." --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 10:26, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Vultures? ==

Are the vultures that ate Mr. Pitters the same vultures that SWOOP'D The Ugly One?--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 00:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:As we all know now, no. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 18:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Upper Pic ==
I personally like the way the main pic was before, with the text not all scrunched up and the TOC not so wide. T-bird seems to disagree. Any other opinions? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 04:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

== Link to Mrs. C? ==

Why isn't there a link to the Mrs. Commanderson article in issue 7, as there is for Mrs. So-and-So-Erson?

== sneak ==

why am i nto allowed to say that the possums look like the sneak?

== Cheerleader Lies! ==

On the page it says, "Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that 'the olympics are soooo dumb!'"
I thought it was obvious (when I watched the issue) that Cheerleader clearly made that up, not realizing the Coach would be in the trouble he was.
- [[User:Thnikkaguy|Thnikkaguy]]

:No, I don't think so. The "olympics are soooo dumb" phrase comes from the cell phone ''while'' [[Cheerleader]] is talking. That, and if he never said it, olympic man would be mad at someone else, not the coach. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

== Move Sci-Fi and DND Greg? ==
Should we move Science Fiction Greg and DND Greg to their own articles? They've both had two appearances, so I think that counts as not being "minor" any longer. Thoughts? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:Some characters on this page have had three appearences, but then again, they seem to have more major roles than the other characters such as the dinosaur; "PUNT!" and then you see him in the background of the full color issue and that's it. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 16:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad!! Cheerleader! ''{two piece!}'' So and So! ''{one piece!}'' What's Her Face! ''{same clothes!}'' The Ugly One! ''{three piece?!!}''

''{Open scene to What's Her Face standing by her mailbox. "W HERFACE" is printed on the side of the mailbox.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I got a postcard.

''{Cut to the postcard as What's Her Face reads.}''

<blockquote>
dear the one with 
baggy pants, 
WE'RE ON SPRiNG BREAK!! 
We tried to call you but we 
forgot. We are having WAY 
too much fun and we'll try 
to remember to bring you a 
shell or some sand. 
<div style="text-align:right;width:15em">signed, 
the other girls</div>
</blockquote>
''{What's Her Face stops reading before "signed". Cut back to What's Her Face and the mailbox. She flips the card over.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' This side has birds on it.

''{The mailbox chomps the card. What's Her Face's jaw drops.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD''': CHOMP!

''{Cut to a fat bird perched on a sign saying "meanwhile, ON VACATiON". Then cut to the beach, with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One in their bathing suits.}''

'''ALL THREE:''' ''{shrieking}'' WE'RE ON VACATION!

'''SO AND SO:''' It's like the fun never ends!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Let's go put our stuff down by them olda boys.

''{Cut to a scene of two Olda Boys lying on towels. A nearby cooler reads "College Drinks".}''

'''OLDA BOY 1:''' I miss video games.

'''OLDA BOY 2:''' I miss my mom.

''{Cut back to the girls. Cheerleader is already off-screen, So and So is on her way.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' I bet they play sports!

''{So and So exits to the left.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Ooh... I'm too '''NERVOUS'''! ''

''{The Ugly One sticks her head in the sand. The fat bird perches on her.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' PERCH!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' My lungs are filling up with sand. And cigarrette butts.

''{Cut back to the Olda Boys. Cheerleader and So and So have arrived. The cooler full of "college drinks" has been moved or has disappeared.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Hiya boys! Is this spot taken?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' We're in college!

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{Overlapping}'' We're in 8th grade!

''{Cheerleader turns and frowns at So and So.}''

'''OLDA BOYS:''' HA HA HA HA!

''{Cheerleader punts So and So off-screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' PUNT!

'''SO AND SO:''' Ow! My hopes of reaching 1st base!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{turns back to the Olda Boys}'' Oh, that's just my little sister who's at least 5 years younger than me. She's never kissed a boy.

'''OLDA BOY 1:''' You look the same age.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{jumps, grows fangs, raises arms and shouts at the Olda Boys}'' I'M 5 YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!

''{Cut to Arrow'd Guy wearing a captain's outfit, piloting the S.S. INEVITABLE. The boat breaks Cheerleader in half.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' SAILING MISHAP!!

''{Cut back to the Olda Boys. The cooler of "college drinks" can be seen again.}''

'''OLDA BOY 2:''' I'm gonna miss her.

'''OLDA BOY 1:''' I'm gonna miss video games.

''{Cut to The Ugly One, whose head is still perched in the sand.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I hope nobody cool or famous is staring at me.

''{George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Henry Rollins enter from the left. They point at The Ugly One.}''

'''GEORGE WASHINGTON:''' Look, look at that girl.

''{So and So enters from the right.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' She's my friend, but not my best. ''{Pause.}'' Now who wants to tandem parasail with me?

'''GEORGE WASHINGTON:''' Woot!

'''ABE LINCOLN:''' Woot!

'''HENRY ROLLINS:''' Woot.

''{Cut to a title card that reads "IT'S ALMOST OVER". The music cuts out for a second.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' IT'S ALMOST OVER!

''{The music starts back up as the scene cuts to a skateboarding half-pipe. What's Her Face is watching Thomas skateboard.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Do an Indy Nosebone.

''{So and So and the presidents parasail by. Thomas is shocked and forgets to do an Indy Nosebone.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Soooooooo goooooooooood...!!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{jaw drops}'' I think my friend and some presidents just flew by.

''{Thomas rolls back down the ramp and performs a 360.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' LATE 360 SHOVE-IT TO BONELESS!!

''{After a pause, the LATE 360 SHOVE-IT TO BONELESS is amended to say LATE 360 SHOVE-IT TO BONELESS'D.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ...'d!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Sweet moves, Thomas!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' NOW IT'S OVER!

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*The stamp on the postcard has an outline of [[Presidents|Abe Lincoln]].

===Remarks===
*What's Her Face's mailbox reads "W. Herface," suggesting that Her Face is her surname.
*The act of The Ugly One burying her head in the sand when she gets nervous is strikingly similar to the old myth known as the "ostrich syndrome." This is when an ostrich will supposedly bury its head in the sand when it feels nervous or threatened.
*Cheerleader and So and So are presumably thirteen or fourteen, as evidenced by So And So's screwup.
*It is impossible to do a late [[Wikipedia:shove-it|360 shove-it]] to boneless. A [http://www.skateboard-city.com/boneless.php boneless] is a variation of an [[Wikipedia:Ollie (skateboarding trick)|ollie]], and therefore would have to come first.
**Technically, if you performed the 360 shove-it first, landed and then did a boneless jump it would be possible, but Thomas appears to do this all at once, making it impossible.
*This Teen Girl Squad issue subtly implements the "[[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]] getting killed" tradition by the mailbox eating the postcard with birds on it.
*George Washington is shown carrying a hatchet. This is a reference to the apocryphal [[wikipedia:George_Washington#Personal_information|story]] in which he cuts down a cherry tree as a boy.
*Abe Lincoln appears to have no arms.

===Goofs===
*[[Smoking|Cigarette]] is misspelled "cigarrette."
*On the closing screen, the contraction "it's" is misspelled as the possessive "its."

Stongbah: We don't hugely need to know what he delivered, but that's better than "He knows karate." As there's no proof it couldn't be another martial art.

== 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 is often on [[Cell Phone|his cell phone]] talking to his many [[Pom Pom's girls|girlfriends]]. He is quite skilled in [[Wikipedia:Martial Art|martial arts]], as demonstrated in [[Summer Short Shorts]]. 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]] (due to him being left out).

''{Pom Pom is talking on his phone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Here go Pom Pom. ''{to Pom Pom}'' What's up, Pom Pom? ''{Pom Pom gestures to his phone}'' Oh, sorry. ''{to camera}'' Pom Pom is definitely the mack around here. And he's my best friend. He's gotten me out of some pretty tight jams. And some pretty tight pants! But that only happened once. ''{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, then tries to put it back in later but a part of it is sticking out, which he shoves it in with more force.}'' 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.

* "The Most Mackinest" is a phrase taken from the [[Wikipedia:Beastie Boys|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 [[Pom Pom's Hypothetical Family|File Cabinet]] in [[Family Resemblence]].

Talk:Strong Bad is a Bad Guy

Stongbah — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 16:21:08 GMT

Stongbah: About what SM says…

== The Field? ==
I know it's a little early on to be worrying about this, but I've gone ahead and labeled the place where SB, SM and The Cheat are as [[The Field]], although I'm doubting that it is. New page? Label it "A Field" without linking? Two cents? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Well, it looks like the field to me, just without bushes. The entire art style in this toon is a naturally a little off. I think it's the field, but I wouldn't care if you called it something different. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::I'm for keeping it as [[The Field]].-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}

:'''Second'''-I also think that it should be kept as [[The Field]].[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

::'''Also Second'''-It should remain so.[[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Easter Eggs? ==

Since we haven't gotten the direct Flash file yet, I can't use the seek bar to find Easter eggs. By the looks of it, I don't think there are any, but our good annonymous IP who crated the page apparently says there is ([{Strong Sad]] (Eater egg)). Any other way? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:56, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:I fount the Flash file! Yay! http://www.homestarrunner.com/badguy.swf {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::w00t. <s>By the looks of it, though, there are no Easter eggs.</s> Ah, we found one. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Two, actually. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== A Revelation for Homestar? ==

I'm not sure if this is important, but is this the first time that someone has mentioned to Homestar (or Homestar has admitted to himself) that he doesn't have arms? I know Strong Bad has mentioned his armlessness before, but always when alone and not within earshot of Homestar himself. I dunno if this counts as an important bit of data or not, but I just wanted to throw it out. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 16:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I think that this is an important fact too. I'm going to [[STUFF]] it.--{{User:Kookykman/sig}} 20:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::In [[fingers]], it was implied that Homestar knows about his situation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Actually, the 'implied' part in fingers is part of Strongbad's imagination no? (as shown by the dream bubbles and such). So it'd be little more then Strongbad again saying to himself that Homestar is harmless. [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]] 22:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, my outlook on Homestar's "arms" are that they are obviously invisible. He carries things all the time. In fact, sometimes it is questionable about the invisible arms since in The Show, he can hold the microphone, hold the cards, and shuffle them at the same time. But all these prove that he has invisible arms.--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 20:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:It almost seems that he can telekinetically move anything within a set range, as characters walking by (or crowding aroud) him never seem to run into his arms.={{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I agree, it'd also explain Old Timey Homestar has not only no arms, but no shoulder sockets for his invisible arms to be linked to. [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]] 22:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::It could be that he is blissfully unaware of the fact that he has "no arms", much like he is unaware of the fact that his pants are invisible (or nonexistent.) [[User:24.138.54.79|24.138.54.79]] 01:51, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::::I too have always thought telekinesis. Invisible arms is a tad elaborate, and telekinesis would explain how he is able to hold a microphone, hold the cards, and shuffle the cards all at the same time. It's not like Homestar has a really powerful mind and thus is able to use telekinesis, it's just his way of making up for having no arms. Though, alternately, I like the idea that because Homestar is so unaware of his lack of arms, he is able to pick things up without having arms, i.e., he "forgets" his lack of arms and acts like he can pick things up, and it works for some reason. ("How did you walk through that wall?" "I was able to because I forgot to use my laws of physics.") --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]
:::::Well, one argument could be that Homestar is actually a super-genius, but is always using his brainpower to maintain telekinesis and is thus inable to function intelligably.
:I have always seen two (2) possable answers to this. one (1) is that he has (at least) four (4) invisable arms. two (2) is that he has limited telikenisis. I also think that this has always been implied.-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think telikenisis because of the whole holding more things than possible and, and I exclamate this not to hurt anyones fealings, his shirt clearly has no holes for any invisible arms to come out of!.--[[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Don't be a Hater ==

After listening twice, I think the lyrics actually say "Strong Bad ''paints'' Marzipan", as opposed to "hates". I distinctly hear an N sound in there. This would also match up well with [[origins]], a previous time when Strong Bad spray painted Marzipan. What say the rest of you? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I hear an "h" sound in the beginning. It's hard to tell, though. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::Both make perfect since, so it's really just a matter of listening. On that note, I do hear an "h" sound, as well. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I hear '''paint'''. We could make a footnote, like we did with [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::::Ugh, not another footnote. Let's get some more opinions here before even thinking about going down that road. I heard "hates," by the way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:As all the other lyrics match up exactly with the illustrations, "paints" seems more plausible.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I'm hearin' "hates" dude. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
::Hearing "hates" here too [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]
:::LOL—I heard "Strong Bad '''is''' Marzipan on my first listen! That had me kinda confused. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:15, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::I heard it three times, it is very faint, but I am pretty sure I heard '''hates'''. I am 100% sure that they did not say ''paint'', as the "p" sound was nowhere to be heard. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

'''Hates'''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I also hear "hates." {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

"Hates". --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

Another vote for "hates." -- [[User:Mycroft.holmes|Mycroft Holmes]] 14:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

2 votes for "Paints", 11 for "Hates" including me. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I heard hates (I wrote the transcript) ;) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 15:41, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

'''Hates'''. --[[User:B|B]] 18:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I also vote Hates for Town Council. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I hear "hates" too. Besides, that makes more sense considering that Strong Bad is spraying black paint over a picture of Marzipan, as in defacing it. "Paints" just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.--[[User:Spanky The Dolphin|Spanky The Dolphin]] 23:32, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

:I vote "hates"-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I say '''hates''' {{User:Dantheburgerking/sig}}
Will go with "hates" {{User:The Paper/sig}} 15:32, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

the quote of the week has settled it, it is CLEARLY 'Hates'

'''VERDICT:''' The "paints" proposal was overwhelmingly declined, 18–2. The votes and arguments have not been moved.

== Tricked Out Van ==

I figured that the van in the music video could reference the tricked out van Strong Bad mentioned in the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. What do you think? -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 12:17, 17 Oct 2005
:That certainly sounds plausible to me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I'd [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] it, though. I'm for it, but some may not approve.--{{User:Kookykman/sig}} 20:15, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::In fact, it's currently already there. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I just noticed that. Heh. I'm a genius.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
:what do you mean by "it's already there"?-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:50, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
==Song visuals==

Why is it, that with things such as [[Experimental Film]] and [[rock opera]], we split the music from the visuals, but here we put 'em all in the transcript? Is there some sort of standard at all? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:It's because those two have several '''minutes''' of nothing but visuals and lyrics. This one is pretty short so the visuals can be insite the transcript. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, we generally split them for large ones. There's no set standard, though. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure I like it that way. I think we should do it one way or the other for consistency. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Well, the visuals usually get in the way of simply reading the song, but they are important for a knowledge base that collects as much info as possible. I think it's fine the way it is, but if we had to choose one way or the other, I'd go with a seperate page for visuals. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 20:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

==Dooj?==

Anyone know what the rocket laucher "Dooj" is about?
:It could just be a sound effect.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I think "dooj" may be a variant (or the actual spelling of) the word "doosh" Strong Bad uses occasionally. (See [[Random Toon]] and [[TROGDOR!]]) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Don't forget [[The System Is Down (song)]]! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== This Toon ==
Is this toon even on the site? Where? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
:It's a Short. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Also, check the main page. Look under "back to our roots". If that doesn't work, do a hard refresh and try again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

::You're not in conversation. If you missed something, read the message again. {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 10:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::On the rotating "What's new!" button.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
:It's under "Shorts" on the Toons page. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 20:40, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:either look under "shorts" for "strong bad is a bad guy" or the "what's new" button for "back to our roots". it comes up as a seperate window within the window when you open it (like the pupet stuff).-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:53, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== Of Snake Ladies, Nagas, and Warcraft ==

Snake/Human hybrids are, of course, not constrained to Warcraft and date back to Indian and Asian mythology. In fact, the name Naga isn't even constrained to Warcraft and denotes a wide variety of snake like mythical creatures in southern Asia. I propose the dropping of that particular reference and letting the Cheat's snake lady just be a product of his imagination rather than yet another spurious reference.
:I agree. I've never even heard of Warcraft, but I ''have'' heard of nagas before. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I agree, I have heard of Warcraft, but I also remember them in Final Fantasy games before Warcraft...Hmmm, FFII and III were SNES games as was Mario Paint...reference? Probably not.--[[User:Slackerboy|Slackerboy]] 22:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:My guess is that they got the reference from all those video games you guys mentioned. It might be more of a referene to the genre in general. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it speaks to the remarkably limited scope of knowledge possessed by the people who visit this site :) -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]] 18:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

==Bad Guy!==
Considering this is a toon described "Going back to our roots", Isn't the entire basis of the toon is a reference to how StrongBad was more of a villian earlier on in the series? Maybe? [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
P.S.
Isn't StrongBad bouncing on his Head a reference to the SBEmail [[funny]]? [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

:Yeah—reasserting his identity now that he's become the vulnerable, personable, lovable scamp who charmed his way into the hearts of a nation. No, seriously, you're right. (Not that it should go in the article, but good observation.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:I thought about that, but he really doesn't act like a villain. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I totally agree with that, 20X6 GEM. I was about to leave a similar note here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:Possible, but I'm thinking it is props to the [[Super NES|first Homestar Runner cartoon ever made]], which was done in Mario Paint, as has already been referencecd. Even though Strong Bad's vilinitude is not what it used to be, he's still the antagonist, and this short doesn't have the feel of, say, [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. --[[User:B|B]] 18:21, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

:Reference, no. Interesting, though! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it was very interesting. Does anyone else think so? --{{User:The 386/sig}} 01:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I seriously think the bouncing on his head was a reference to when he did it in "Funny"! "Liko Liko Liko!!!" [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
:it sadens me to see how off-topic people can get in a message bored-type thing that allows you to edit.-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:56, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::Sorry bout' dat. Also the P.S. was part of my original message and somehow was moved after that. But seriuosly. I think it's pretty a strait forward thing(The bouncing on his head that is). [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Pic's ==

Could someone please give me pics of SB talking as in when he says "A glowy box? Are you sure that's what you'd get for your tattoo?" and when SM is talking, please? [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Count_X |Apocalpyx Zeta]

Lamacq asked Edwards if he and his band [[Wikipedia:Manic Street Preachers|Manic Street Preachers]] were serious about their music. Edwards tried to convince Lamacq by carving "4-real" into his forearm.

Anyone have an idea where the song comes from? It sounds incredibly familiar, but I can't place it. --[[User:B|B]] 18:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

:Close, but I actually think it's more from the Teen Girl Squad theme. The notes in the trogdor game are FGA, but the notes in this and the TGS theme are GABC. Yes, I have perfect pitch. No, I'm not bragging... —[[User:TrumpetMan202|TrumpetMan202]] 00:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
::Actually, I'm not hearing a G here, just ABC. But I just went and played [[TROGDOR!]], and yes, it's certainly a different pitch set. The synthesizer patch seems to be the same, though, which is probably what I and whoever added it to the article were thinking of, so I added that as a concession. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

== Pipe or Bat ==

In the transcript, it says Strong Bad hits the muffler with a bat (it ''is'' brown). Later, in the Inside references, it is called a pipe (which ''has'' been used before. Which is it? My vote is pipe, given the inside reference. Others? --[[User:B|B]] 18:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:It's so pixellated it's hard to tell, even zoomed in, but:
#although I can't say for sure it's perfectly cylindrical (i.e. not tapered like a bat), I think it would be even harder to say that it's tapered;
#if it is a bat, it has some kind of dealie at the end, like lines painted on it. I think those are supposed to be pipe threads.
#Strong Bad's holding it right in the middle (although that isn't very efficient no matter what it is). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:45, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::I'd say it's a pipe for three reasons: A. a pipe/muffler combo has been used before, 2. a bat would be hard to dent a muffler with, and D. the reasons AbdiViklas already said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I put bat in the transcript because it was brown and I didn't look at it that closely. A pipe seems reasonable too though. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:31, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Good enough for me. I'd change it, but I'll leave that to Homestar Coder out of respect for the work. Please understand this, this was just a clarification, not a [[Stinkoman|challenge]]! --[[User:B|B]] 04:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

== Not Made With MarioPaint ==

I have to say, that I've always thought the work by the Brothers Chaps seems to consistently allude to the idea that one must not take things at their surface value. The Cheat and Strong Bad are always pulling scams, and they're educational to those who pull the wool over the eyes of their victims. You watch something like "Dangeresque" and it's as if you're being given a handbook to the Man Behind the Curtain.

If you ask me, the concept that they would bother to do something like this in MarioPaint instead of using more modern technology to simulate the effect...c'mon. This was not made with MarioPaint. At some point, one has to recognize that these guys are using fairly sophisticated technology, and their claims about how hard it is to animate Strong Bad's head from left to right as he reads the text (as if that were the "hard part") are jokes in-and-of themselves. Wake up, people. That's the point. These guys aren't gods, they're just very witty.

:Nope annony. it is simple to make a movie with Mario Paint. I have made a few myself. You simply need to have patience. Tons and tons of paitiance. It is simple to transfer scenes onto a computer with MP. The only thing they did that didn't involve MP is the vocals. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 02:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Exactly. That kinda set it in stone. So there's some proof it was made with Mario Paint. Trust me. I've made movies using that. And what the crap are you even talking about anyways? Of course they're not "Gods". I mean, c'mon, A. Contributor! I mean, maybe they just felt like doin' somthing different. A slide on the wild side. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

: Well, not THAT different. H*R was a Mario Paint cartoon before it was Flash. :p --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
:Seriously, even though it isn't as hard to work with flash as people say it is, it is still difficult nonetheless. Although TBC naturally deserves no divine status, the fact remains that they are skilled in what they do. They use only about 3 loop animations in their average flashes, and many things they do are impossible to accomplish using tweening. Their flashes are astoundingly long and well-quality for one-week projects, as it takes the average flash artist on the internet about two years to make a decent ten-minute flash. Give TBC a break!

I watched the toon again today, and I noticed a strong resemblance between the intro music to this toon and the main theme music for [[Teen Girl Squad]].

==Prohibition==
'''It's dot com''', it's me again, here to continue our scholarly debate about "dumb animal characters." I don't really disagree with your removal of the Prohibition item. But I put it in there for the following four (tenuous?) reasons:

*When the Sneak is kicked out of Tammany Hall, the leg doing the kickin' has "PROHIBITION?" written on it. It's pretty thin, but TBC put it in there either as a nonsensical nod to the period (I mean, the whole Tammany Hall-Boss Tweed period pre-dated the Depression...right?) or as weak support for my idea.
*In The Ballad of the Sneak, the little guy gets his kicks by "drinking bootleg hooch and listening to the jazz", doubly implying the alcohol he's enjoying is contraband, and he's getting it at a Speakeasy where "the jazz" is being played, both of which indicate Prohibition.
*When [[Fat Dudley]] is enjoying a nip of hooch in [[That a Ghost]], [[The Homestar Runner]] questions him interrogatively, in the sense of, "Fat Dudley, are you breaking the law by drinking hooch?" Alcohol is smattered around the H*R universe - Coach Z ale, Cold Ones, and even Strong Bad drinking too much Soy Sauce (this, I find especially hilarious: not only did this escapade of his teach me Soy Sauce ''does'' contain alcohol, 2% by volume, but it ties into my rejected STUFF comment about the King surviving his massive salt ingestion in the "record" e-mail...Strong Bad would have done himself in by drinking that much Soy Sauce. But enough about salt-related death!), but no one ever questions anyone else about it. So, this event stood out as being consistent with a Prohibition-era time, when some people followed the law and others didn't.
*I can't recall it exactly, but since the Ballad of the Sneak is the number one jam of 1932? 1933? it would still have been during Prohibition. I think the Wiki consensus is that the years being depicted are later, to 1935? 1936?, so if this is accepted, than the Prohibition factoid doesn't hold up. But, like I indicated before, TBC are playing fast and loose with the time period references, so whether or not the year they're depicting in the Old Timey world is 1933 or 1936, Prohibition still could be going on there for all we know.

In summary, I can't believe I wrote this much about a cartoon and the status of Prohibition during it. I need to drink less coffee! Anyhoo, let me know what you think. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 13:37, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I originally removed the mention of prohibition ''based solely on the presumed year of the toons''. I now think that may have been hasty, as you make a good circumstancial case. Turning to the [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Wikipedia article]], we read that<blockquote>The [[Wikipedia:Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution|Twenty-first Amendment]], which repealed nationwide prohibition, explicitly gives states the right to restrict or ban the purchase and sale of alcohol; this has led to a patchwork of laws, in which alcohol may be legally sold in some but not all towns or counties within a particular state. After the repeal of the national constitutional amendment, some states continued to enforce prohibition laws.</blockquote>From this statement and your evidence, one could easily see at least the possibility that prohibition was still in force in Free Country, USA, until 1937 or beyond. (This is not unreasonable, as in the real world bans on alcohol in some states lasted several decades after the formal end of prohibition.) I think you would be well-justified in wording this back into the article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:36, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Map ==

I have taken upon myself the task of drawing up a map of Free Country, USA. Now I know what you're thinking: "Caleb, you can't draw up a map of Free Country, USA!"

To which I answer this: "I can try!"

To begin the map, I will use the following assumptions:
*The Stick represents the very centre of Free Country, USA
*The view of the field of Free Country USA always faces North.

I will then use what is know about the locations in relation to one another, and various other clues within the toons (ie. which direction Homestar walks to get to Bubs') to figure out most of the geography. The rest will have to be guesswork.

The map should be finished soon, but will take a while to actually get onto hrwiki, so don't expect it anytime soon.
[[User: Private Martin of the Homestarmy]]

This Just In!

My map is done, but I still need to get an image of it onto my computer. Until then, here is a simple idea of where some things are on the map.

The Forest

Homestar's House The Stick Strongbadia
Town Hall Marzipan's House
Locker Room
Athletic Field
The KoT's Keep House of TBS Bubs'

== Location ==

I have done some deducing, and based on it I believe FCUSA is somewhere in the state of Oregon, or possibly northern California. [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]]

What do you think? [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]]
:What's your evidence? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

1. Likely a northern state because of it's cold Winter temperatures. 
2. The term "pop" is used, which means it is likely to be in the upper Midwest. 
3. Wharfs exist there, so it is likely to be by the sea. 
4. It is NOT Texas. 

These are all properties Oregon and Northern California have in common. [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]]
:Oregon and California aren't in the midwest.

::The northwest also refers to it as "pop" by majority

:::Actually, it would have to be in the Northeast: it's east of the Mississippi River, it's on the ocean, and it snows. Nowhere else in the United States fits. The fact that TBC live in Atlanta doesn't mean HR takes place there, the Nebraska star doesn't necessarily tell us the location, and the Texas clue doesn't help because we already know it's east of the Mississippi. Also, not only are California and Oregon not in the Midwest, it doesn't snow there apart from in the mountains, and they're west of the Mississippi. (And if it could be California or Oregon, it could also be Washington). I've also narrowed down the setting of Calvin and Hobbes to two places, on that note. {{User:Granola/sig}} 23:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

== Support the Municipality? ==

I was thinking of adding something to the 'Politics' section that touches on StrongBody's rebellion against the KoT's 'municipality', the Poopsmith playing the part of riot police, and the propaganda poster Easter Egg in the sbemail [[disconnected]]. However, I'm not too good at writing up articles, and plus I don't even have an account. So basically if anybody else wants to mention it, feel free.

By the way, my username is 'Cool Tapes' on the forum.

== The Municipality ==

I thought that Free Country, USA ''was'' the municipality. "Municipality" is just another word for "town", so the municipality is essentially the town that the King rules over. In which case, this article is not needed. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I've heard of Strong Sad Mode. How in the world did you unlock The Cheat Mode? --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 16:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

The Cheat mode?!!? [[User:Choco|Choco]] 01:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:Decompiling the Flash file shows no The Cheat sprites. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::That's like asking, "Hey, have you gotten Toad in [[Wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. Melee|SSBM]]?" ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 15:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I've beat Kid Speedy and Strong Sad in both modes and it does not give me anything. If you would care to say how you did it (as I know you don't lie much). [[User:Stongbah|Stongbah]] 21:10, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
::Doriangray, I don't care what bullhonkey you guys use here at the knowledge base, but don't remove my comments. Inside a part of the wall in the loop in the original version and it showed Teh C sprites. I can't find it again or find any use of them in the new version. I saw a single Teh C sprite. Forgot I said anything. --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 19:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
:::(original comment by Dinoshaur, moved from [[#Mom's hair|Mom's hair]]) I decompiled the flash and saw The Cheat sprites in a certain movie clip of the wall in the loop, and I was meaning to say if anyone had got The Cheat mode, I haven't, maybe it's just that it was something removed, sorry for the confusion. --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 11:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)~
:::Wait... Did you decompile it, or see it in the game? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 22:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Dinoshaur: Your original comment was accidentally posted further down, in Mom's hair. Nobody removed it, but I moved it back to this section for you. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

== Mom Speedy ==
Does anybody have a picture of Mom Speedy? [[User:큰 뚱뚱한 분실자|큰 뚱뚱한 분실자]] 14:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

:I won the game, then used it in [[HRFWiki:The Mu's Stinkoman Comics/17|a Stinkoman Sprite Comic that I did]]. If you're interested in one, you can check that one out. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 15:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

::Oh, and there are no Mom Speedy sprites in the game. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 14:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

== Mom's hair ==

Is it just me, or does Mom Speedy's hair change every time you beat it? I could've sworn it was brown before.... {{User:Salty/sig}} 00:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I thought so too. Maybe it was a 1.new fix. [[User:Bub|Bub]] 00:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

== Hybrid Cars ==

I think this new version now makes the third (?) mention of hybrid cars on the website. Does that qualify it as a running gag? Especially since it seems to be associated with Marzipan? First two mentions are: [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]] ("Your subscription to Soy... Bread... Tofu... Hybrid... Cars... Magazine") and [[secret identity]] ([[Scarfgirl]] Magazine). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 15:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Sad loses speed? ==

I never noticed this in the last version of the game, but playing today, it looks like Strong Sad loses speed faster than Kid Speedy. Anyone else notice this? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Seriously!!! ==

They need to make this game be able to save cookies like Stinkoman 20X6!!! {{User:Bassium!/sig}}
: I agree. And, with that being the case, you should be able to choose which character to play (otherwise, you'd only be able to play Homestar after unlocking him.) Ah, well. This is kinda forumish. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

== GOBI ==

Is "GOBI" more likely a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|Gobi Desert]], or the camel named Gobi in the video game ''Banjo-Kazooie''? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:19, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
:I'd go with the desert, considering the camel was probably named for it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Meet the King of Town. He is a terrific athlete. ==

*I find it hilarious that when I play Homestar mode, usually it's the King of Town that is pulling ahead. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 04:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
**It's because the character in the top position (always the KoT when you're Homestar) always tries to roughly match your speed. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

== Anoter Glitche ==

If you play it on the flash kind once I started the 8th level race as my first first race, there were two guys running frantically on the left behind the black line. {{User:Bassium!/sig}}
:They're the 3 racers that zoom ahead of you when you're on the final race (not final as in the 8th one in the list, final as in you've qualified in the other 7)... they just sit off to the left when they're not being used. Outside the frame == not a glitch. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:07, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

== Kid Speedy Ending Viewer ==

A friend of mine made a flash file contatining all 4 Kid Speedy endings. [http://stl.dreamerstoday.com/ks.htm Click Here] Should I put it in external links? - {{User:Super Sonic X/Sig}} 17:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
:I think we have a policy (or at least a practise) not to put fan creations in the external links (like the cheat version of [[Stinkoman 20X6]]). Sorry. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Besides, you can just use a seek bar to do the same thing. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

== Spooky Forest ==

Is it just me, or does the special Strong Sad-only track look like the [[Spooky Forest]]? --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 20:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

== CRZY ==
Aren't some of these links/explanations in the CPU names getting a bit out of hand? I understand ones like NEB, DAN, LEM and 8BAL, but Miss Piggy? Toad? Full Motion Video? Uh... yeah. I think we're reaching here. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 01:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed. I've pruned. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
::I think FMV is Full Motion Video, though. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 21:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Stongbah: /* Transcript for Teen Girl Squad */

[[Image:Podstar.PNG|thumb|"What am I doing in this tiny box?"]]
'''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] [[Wikipedia:IPod|iPod]], in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. It was originally a collection of [[Strong Bad Email]]s, but on March 6, 2006 they added [[Teen Girl Squad]] and called it ''Teen Girl Squadcast''. As of May 22, 2006 all ten Teen Girl Squad episodes have been released. On April 12, 2006, they added [[Everybody to the Limit]] and are probably planning to add more [[Toons|toons]] in the future.

*The podcast "Strong Bad Email" became #1 on February 20, 2006.
*The podcast "Strong Bad Emails & More!" became #1 on April 6, 2006.
*The podcast was featured on the Podcasts main page on iTunes in the "New and Notable" section on February 19, 2006.
*Around March 5, 2006, the name of the podcast changed from "Strong Bad Email" to "Strong Bad Emails and More!" due to the addition of the Teen Girl Squadcast.
*The battery meter in the intro for the Strong Bad Emails is relatively full, while the hand-drawn intro for Teen Girl Squadcast's battery meter is almost empty.
*One of the keywords for the Teen Girl Squadcast episodes is "arrowed", an obvious reference to the [[Arrow'd Guy]].

===Remarks===

*For some reason, the clock at the top of the iPod screen reads 8:04 before and after the toon, even though the toon may last more than 1 minute
*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the Easter eggs from the original versions of the Emails are present.
**All the Easter eggs in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] issues are present, and play automatically.
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!." This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcast through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast. On March 5, 2006, it was changed to "teen girl squadcast!" in response to the new feature.
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to the "Flash file" level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]]. There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies. Furthermore, on the dry T-shirt flyer, the [[Fonts|font]] Snap ITC has been replaced with what appears to be Arial (same thing for the font for Chocolardiac Arrest).
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up; incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
*The filename for dragon is "[[Trogdor|trogdor]]," not "dragon."
*Due to the size and resolution of the iPod's screen, [[virus]]'s Navbar is removed, and its "widescreen" effects removed by [[Wikipedia:Pan and scan|pan and scan]].
*On February 27, 2006, Podstar Runner ceased downloads of all the previously available Strong Bad Emails and only allowed downloads of the most recent Podcast. A notice on the page read "due to bandwidth doodoo, we're doing one at a time for now." It was fixed on March 3, 2006, and all the emails could be downloaded again.
*Even though [[Everybody to the Limit]] is not a Strong Bad Email, it is played with the email intro and ending.
*In [[death metal]], the email intro seems to be a little extended. Plus, the "shee-doot" sound is omitted when Strong Bad signs off of Video Thyme.

===Goofs===
[[Image:TGS9preview.PNG|thumb|The glitched preview image]]
*While the iPod in the background is meant to be a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] model, the headphone port is placed in the top center of the device like a fourth generation's, rather than at the top right.
*When the email ends and returns to the animated iPod menu, "Homestarrunner.com" is highlighted. However, the animated menu at the beginning of the email has "Email" selected. The iPod's memory should keep the selection where it was when you left it, not move back to the top.
*Many of the listed file sizes are inaccurate. The [[Podstar Runner#Downloadable Emails|table below]] shows the correct file sizes.
*The preview picture for Teen Girl Squad 9 (in iTunes) has positioning problems; everything inside the panel seems to be shifted up and to the left, overlapping the panel border.
*In the page title, "Y'all" has a misplaced apostrophe.
*The sound in [[crazy cartoon]] is out of sync between the intro and the ending.

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

===Fixed Glitches===
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
*There used to be two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps." Noticeably different between the two was the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast. The podcast by Strong Bad has since been removed.
*When Guitar was released, all the e-mail links became the same, all leading to the guitar e-mail file. Now they have reverted back to the separate names.
*When montage was released, the link to download montage was incorrect in the XML feed, which pointed to "sb_email_motage.m4v" instead of "sb_email_mo'''n'''tage.m4v", leaving users temporarily unable to download montage through iTunes. This was fixed the day after.
*The date for [[theme park]] in the podcast feed was incorrectly listed as May 6, 2006 instead of June 6, 2006.
*There is no date listed for [[army]]. It should be listed as being released on June 29th.

===Inside References===

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

'''Hell''' is the place where the wicked are sent after death; more specifically, where [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] went after falling off the cliff in Parsnips-a-Plenty. [[The Demon]] and [[The Kaiser]] can also be found in this [[Old-Timey]] version of the underworld. Apparently, though, this version of Hell is not eternal, since Old-Timey Strong Bad is back again in [[That A Ghost]]. This could also be a continuity error.

In Where the Crap Are We?, [[Homestar Runner]] suggests that he and [[Strong Bad]] are in Heaven. Strong Bad posits that they are not, implying that they are (or at least he is) in Hell.

A glimpse of Hell can also be seen on Main Page 6.

A level in Kid Speedy, Demon's Rub Marathon, the background is most likely hell.

This page claims that the Devil runs Hell; [[The Kaiser|The Kaiser's page]] says that the Kaiser runs Hell. Which is it? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Umm...I was just wonderin' why you put that here instead of on [[1936 Strong Bad]]'s talk page - [[User:Technochocolate|T.C.]]
----

It's interesting to note that use of the name "Hell" probably would not have been permissible in a 1936 cartoon, even in reference to the Biblical place. For instance, in all the original Looney Tunes shorts (most of which were made between 1940 and the mid 1960s), I only know one instance where it was used, even though the place itself had appeared a number of times. -[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 11:49, 24 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: radio</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give 
them any pointers on what they can say/do on their show? 
bowing to you 
Fraser, Scotland</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "say/do" as "say slash do".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. G-Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead, $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{He clears the screen.}'' So your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In spontaneous, radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we got some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my tote bag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show.

''{A poster for "[[The am morning "CRUDE" crew|The am morning 'CRUDE' crew]]" with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, these guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The clock radio reads 6:59 AM and it is dark in the room, but when the clock switches to 7:00 the lights and radio turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it! ''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio tote bag over his head, holding a glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Highball! ''{He throws the glass at the radio.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then, there's the utter misery that is college radio. Where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to the [[booOOMbox]] containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track... ''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' six... "It Made Quite a Dish."

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... Ca...campus outreach is looking for... Hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in 5 words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, bu-but, um, but first up is an, um, er...an...an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox. Strong Sad hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{Cut to an Old-Timey room with an [[Old-Timey Radio]], with Old-Timey Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste,—

''{Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste logo appears}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' —we join The Fish down at the wharfs as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The [[Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste|Portly Washboy]] logo appears again. It depicts a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''VOICE-OVER:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy: Don't eat it like the cartoon, man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a T-shirt from WA3D FM "[[The Sturge]]."
*Click on "[[The Fish was Delish and it made Quite a Dish|The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish]]" to show a [[Wikipedia: Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]-style children's book of the same name. It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
**After the test sentence disappears, you can still click where it was to show the children's book.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after The Paper comes down to see them. The coozie is blue and says, "[[WSBD]] The Voice of [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] 89.3 Several Dozen Listeners." The frisbee is white and says, "The Sturge numbitty 902 WA3D FM." The bottle opener is red and says, "Smooooooth 'n smarmy".
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say... ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two, "The Sturge." Don't you touch that ''{quickly}'' BLABITTABLOUGH!
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blabittablough?
* Click on "me" after The Paper comes down to see more of Old-Timey Strong Bad.
:'''RADIO:''' ''{Old-Timey Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!
:''{Portly Washboy Laundry Paste theme song plays over radio.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The rah-dio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
* "Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds), though it is probably a play on the saying that "the camera adds ten pounds."
* A [http://ww5.williams-sonoma.com/cat/index.cfm?cid=GlsHDfi&bnrid=3160501&cm_ven=Google&cm_cat=Glassware&cm_pla=HighballsOldFashioneds&cm_ite=highball_glass highball glass] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails. Homestar's glass, therefore, isn't a highball at all; it is a "Rocks Glass" or "Double Old-Fashioned Glass" which is generally short and stout.
** Homestar's glass is the same one The Cheat had on the table in [[montage]] while smoking.

===Remarks===
*The tote bag on Homestar's head reads, ''"PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy,"'' implying that this must be the tote bag that Marzipan never got.
*Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00 am; strangely, he is already up and having a drink.
*Judging by the [[Wikipedia:North American call sign|call letters]] of the college radio station, [[Free Country, USA]] must be east of the Mississippi River. Generally, call letters for radio stations in cities east of the Mississippi begin with 'W'. Those to the west begin with 'K'.
*Strong Mad's feet are seperately drawn; the lines on Strong Mad's left shoe are closer together, and the shoe is slightly smaller. (This is seen in the second last Easter Egg).

===Goofs===
*The left sleeve of Strong Sad's radio T-shirt disappears during parts of that Easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (See the article image above.)

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad's reaction to Strong Sad's strange remarks in the Easter egg is extremely similar to his reaction to "parakeet" in [[caffeine]].
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the Easter egg for [[action figure]], when writing to Strong Bad in [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]], and when transcribing Paradise Lost in [[record book]].
*Strong Sad refers to himself as "The Deathly Pallor," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].
*Right at the very end of the chanting, one can hear the first two notes of the [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] theme song, as seen in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*The [[booOOMbox]] Strong Sad listens to was also seen in [[autobiography]]. However, it had a white record button.

===Real-World References===
*"Drat and double drat!" was [[Wikipedia:Dick Dastardly|Dick Dastardly's]] ([[Wikipedia:Wacky_Races|''Wacky Races'']]) catch phrase.
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.
* Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot," sounding like intense hisses, the mic can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness."
*"[[Public Radio Sounds]]" (or "PRS") is a playful combination of [http://www.pbs.org PBS], the Public Broadcasting Service, and [http://www.pri.org PRI], Public Radio International.
*Marzipan talking about how she "never got her tote bag" is a reference to how donators to PBS usually receive gifts, a tote bag with the PBS logo embroidered on it being the most well-known.
*The "UN Secretary Council" represents a mix between the [http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sg/ UN Secretary-General] and the [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ UN Security Council].
*The voice-over telling the viewer what the test phrase is is a reference to game shows like ''[[Wikipedia:Password (game)|Password]]'', where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.
*Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, "The Sturge" is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon|sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[[IMDb:tt0077097|WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' had the mascot "the WKRP Carp."
*"Heckle or jeckle" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]].
*The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the [http://www.npr.org/programs/asc/features/atc_theme/ theme] to the [http://www.npr.org National Public Radio] program "[[Wikipedia:All Things Considered|All Things Considered]]". Interestingly, on May 8, 2005, The Brothers Chaps [[All Things Considered Interview - 8 May 2005|were interviewed]] about the Homestar Runner website on the show, and a clip from the Public Radio segment of this email was featured.
*Like most U.S. college radio stations, WSBD has a frequency in the lower part of the FM spectrum (between 88 and 92).
*It's interesting that the sender's name is Fraser, since the title character on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Frasier|Frasier]] is a radio psychiatrist.


===Fast Forward===
* $7.50 is the same amount of money that Strong Bad asks "Simone" for in "[[bottom 10]]."

== DVD Version ==
*If the angle is changed (to view the mid-toon Easter Eggs), Strong Sad's shirt has both sleeves in this version.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Strong Sad]], Mike's Strong Sad)

'''MIKE:''' This is a... commentary.

'''MATT:''' Look—

'''MIKE:''' Be— Be a character.

'''MATT:''' Okay. Who— Which character, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Be Strong Sad. Strong Sad's never joined me for commentary before.

'''MATT:''' Okay, we'll see how that works out.

'''MIKE:''' All right. Oh, Strong Sad's in this one, I didn't even think about it.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I ''am'' in the one, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' This is— You're pretty good in this. Did you actually do the voice?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't want to talk about what happened while we were doing that.

'''MIKE:''' Did they give you things?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I was given some things...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' For—

'''MIKE:''' Did they drug you? or, just—

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' You don't remember?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I just know that?

'''MIKE:''' Is it all a blur?

'''STRONG SAD:''' All this— I would kind of black out, and all of the sudden there was this horrible voice coming forward from my mouth.

'''MIKE:''' I kind of like it better than your regular voice.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' I can kind of do your— good impression of you, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' See, look, there's— that's me.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Yeah, this could be you, too.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah, that's terrible.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' No, it sounds pretty good.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it sounds awful.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' No, I don't— It sounds just like you, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't think so, Mike.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' But do ''that'' voice.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Do—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Do the radio personality voice, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Okay! Maybe I will! For a little while! But it hurts! So I'm gonna stop!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, that's so great! That was great!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, how you doing, Strong Sad?

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Well, I'm doing pretty good, I guess.

'''MATT:''' This is pretty talented. Matt is talking to Strong Sad at the same time.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' This— This is the magic of computer technology.

'''MATT:''' So, Strong Sad, that phrase, "the fish was delish and it made quite a dish"—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Uh, there was this place in Brooklyn I used to eat called—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That—

'''MATT:''' —called Giando On The Water, and it was a great little restaurant on the Brooklyn side, right under the Williamsburg bridge.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' So I wrote an online review of it on, uh, zagat.com or something—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MATT:''' —and under "user comments" I said that the fish was delish and it made quite a dish.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That's pretty good.

'''MATT:''' You can't find that online, anymore, I looked, actually.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That's pretty good. I wonder what ''{sounding more and more like Mike}'' Stoops and Gusso have been up to lately. I— I— I usually am not awake at that time, so I— I don't get to hear their hilarious—

'''MATT:''' You're turning less and less into Strong Sad the longer you do it.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Aww.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no! It's going away!

'''MATT:''' And now there's Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Augh.

'''MATT:''' Mike— And I love that part in the background. Mike is just being the other dudes hanging out in the studio, and just going, "Yeah! You got it! Yeah!" Good job. So, what— that's, uh— there's "highball", "hiyah"—

'''MIKE:''' And—

'''MATT:''' —and "ah-choo"?

'''MIKE:''' "Ah-choo." ''{indecipherable}''

'''MATT:''' ''{indecipherable}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I dunno.

'''MIKE:''' Homestar says, "To s—" Oh, that's our friend Rusty's song.

'''MATT:''' It is.

'''MIKE:''' The very end of it.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, why do they do that at college radio stations? They put that little sticker on the CD and, like, make the D.J. have to read that thing. So they're always like—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Track— I mean, the track number— who care— you don't have— like on any other radio, no other radio would say—

'''MIKE:''' I— I like— I think track number three is a good track.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Seriously. I think that if you listened— go listen to 10 albums and I think that track number three's—

'''MATT:''' It's like problems—

'''MIKE:''' —probably going to be a hit.

'''MATT:''' It's like putting C for an answer on a Scantron test.

'''MIKE:''' I used to— I used to count the C's. If C didn't win, I'd go back and change some.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' C or D.

'''MATT:''' Nice. Uh, originally we were going to use our friend Ariana chanting there, who actually knows some Sanskrit prayers, and so, we had her, but then we thought that she might take offense.

'''MIKE:''' May have been sacrilegious.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We don't want to offend—

'''MIKE:''' If they were real prayers.

'''MATT:''' Hey, the Portly Washboy looks kind of like the kid from the old Boychicks Deli sign over in Orchar— or, Georgetown.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Georgetown!

'''MATT:''' Remember him?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's about to inhale this entire sub.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I got celery— ce— celery-flavored soda from Boychicks Deli.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That stuff is good!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yeah! You're back! We're both back!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm out of here—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is so cool!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm out of here now.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' No, stay! Hang around! This is—

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't like you!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That was great.

'''MATT:''' Poster just fell.

===Fun Facts===
*"Hiyah" was Homestar's similarly-pronounced exclamation from [[montage]]. "Ah-choo" was probably supposed to be "Ahct-poo" from [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

{{featuredarticle}}
== Museum Sketchbook ==

Would it be OK if someone moved the bottom section of this page to something like [[Sketchbook (Museum)]]? This page takes far too long to load on a dial-up internet connection. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 06:24, 9th of March 2005

:Hmm, I like keeping the museum ones here on the [[Sketchbook]] page, and instead moving the weekly sketchbook ones to a [[Weekly Sketchbook]] page. This would match our [[Weekly Fanstuff]] page. Any one else agree?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:20, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Actually, I like that idea, better than my own as well. Weekly Sketchbook matches the rest of the weekly updates, and is probably easier to change the links for. The only reason I suggested Sketchbook (Museum) was because I thought less pages linked/would link to it. But Weekly Sketchbook sounds great. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:08, 9 Mar 2005 (GMT)

:::Done, see [[Weekly Sketchbook]]. I fixed all the links as well.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:48, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

''Note: The following is a copy/paste from the old Talk page''
Just a quick question. Who's gonna keep up with updating stuff like this? I know we're all busy with simply moving crap from there to here, but I dunne wanna lose anything that could be added, ya know? I'd update it myself, but I do most my wikistuff at work, so I can't make screenshots at all. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:15, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, I can do that tonight. I think I'll come up with a better format too. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:30, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Guh-roovay. The current one is kinda stinky anywho. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 16:00, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Fun facts? ==

Is there room for a fun facts section on this page? The Tetherball'd TTGS death is a possible reference to the first season of South Park, when Kenny died in the exact same way. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 18:46, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

If there is, I vote Decline -[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]] 10:20, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)
:Second'd this is extremly long already. But you can make a different aritcle and THEN put the link onto here. [[User:Sbmaniac|Sbmaniac]]

== "Tableization" ==

I'm glad there's finally a table for this section (as well as the weekly fanstuff.) The images being different sizes before the tables wasn't a necessarily a bad thing, I just thought it detracted from the page slightly. The use of tables did force those images that were on other sites (namely photobucket) to be uploaded to the wiki, which is a plus. I think must of us can agree that it looks better than before.
--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Comic-Book Style The Cheat==

With the introduction of the tables, I'm glad this image finally surfaced. I almost lost hope in that image ever being recovered, as it was the only image that I thought was never POSTERITY'd!! Due credit to [[User:Tom|Tom]].
--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Message to [[TBC]] from [[Jonathan Howe]] ==

Be sure to view the XML source of this file:
[http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/weeklies.xml]

:I learned about this XML file when I was poking through these flash files: [http://www.homestarrunner.com/fanstuff.swf] & [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sketchbook.swf] when I found I couldn't view the image or the text when those two preceding files are saved remotely (i.e., on a hard drive.) '''Jonathan''' (I assume his last name is Howe, as he is a programmer) has left a message in a comment to the "'''Chapos'''" about the placement of certain "character shortcuts." He more or less 'signs' the comment with the words "Love, jonathan." I just found this rather amusing. Does anyone else? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

:Hmmm... Tricky. I like the base files though. Those can come in handy... [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:12, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Halloween Costumes ==

If anyone can identify some of those halloween costumes from the museum sketchbook, (the last sketch), feel free to enter their names into the rollover title at the appropriate place saver. I can't really think of anything better at the moment, maybe I'll add them to the [[Halloween Costumes]] section or something later. Thanks. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:12, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Images with Subtitles ==

Shouldn't the images for the Sketchbook and Fanstuff ''not'' have the captions with them? If not, the "Title" column is pretty much useless. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 21:24, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

It does seem redundant. It is easier to remove the "title" column, but then that text can not be found during a search. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 23:14, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Since the very beginning, we've always treated the text and image as one. That's how they appear, so that's how we've been reproducing them. And the additional text is for better searching. I do notice, however, that the [[Sketchbook]] article lacks the interesting descriptions the [[Weekly Fanstuff]] page affords.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:57, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Moving the page==

Shouldn't this still be under simply a 'Sketchbook' page title? Perhaps it would make more sense to move The Museum Sketchbook to just that, a 'Museum Sketchbook' page or something. I mean, when you roll over the button on the main page, all that pops up under it is just 'Sketchbook'. We're not going to change the name of 'Quote of the Week' to just 'Weekly Quote' are we? (Sorry I missed the discussion on the [[Sketchbook]] page) [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 15:31, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Er, good point. So you're thinking we should move Weekly Sketchbook --> Sketchbook and Sketchbook --> Museum Sketchbook. That makes sense to me, but then again so did moving the weekly sketchbook section to this page. What do you think?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:01, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)
::I second Tom--[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 12:34, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::Yup. I appreciate the work you went to fixing all the links, and don't like to ask you to change them back, but it really makes sense to keep the names the website came up with. I third Tom. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 14:17, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)

::::Fourth'd! </tgs> -- [[User:nintendorulez|nintendorulez]] 14:51, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::::Okay, then unless anyone else wants to do it, or objects in the next few days, I'm gonna do the move. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 19:41, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

::::::It should be easy, since I went through and made sure all the links were correct for the first move. I would change all the "Sketchbook" links to "Museum Sketchbook" first, then move "Sketchbook" to "Museum Sketchbook". This will create a redirect at "Sketchbook" so you can move "Weekly Sketchbook" to "Sketchbook". Then when you change the "Weekly Sketchbook" links to "Sketchbook", it will be a bit easier. If you need any help, just ask.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:29, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

== Sketch Descriptions? ==

Should we add descriptions to the sketches, like we did with the [[Weekly Fanstuff]]? Some people might have no idea what the sketches are of.--[[User:Lord Pikachon|The guy who's name you probably know]]

:It would be nice to have some links on some of the more obscure sketches (like Mashed Potato Jones or the Balding Man). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:12, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Okay, me, Trogga, and Homestar Coder have begun working on descriptions.--[[User:Lord Pikachon|Lord Pikachon]]

== Pawn of a hat? ==
I don't wat to start an edit war, but I just don't see [[Strong Sad]] as a game pawn in [[Image:problematics.PNG|this picture]]. I see it as Strong Sad's head shooting out of a magic hat. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 18:23, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I see Strong Sad's head on a game pawn, and I definately don't see it coming out of a hat. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 18:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Me as well -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 18:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::I see what hes talking about. {{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}}

::::I really wish I could find a picture on the internet, but it looks to me like SS is one of those toys that little kids play with. They're basically just comprised of a cylinder and a head. I don't know what they're called though. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::Ooh, I know just the things. I think my grandmother still has 'em. I'll see if I can get a pic. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::I found [http://www.andertoons.com/images/blog/LittlePeople.jpg a picture]...anyone else think that's what the sketch of SS is? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yes, exactly! That's just what I was thinking, and have been since it was put up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::::Does anyone know what they're called? (is it "Little People"?) I think we should probably mention this on the page. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::I had those as a kid, and I recall them being called "Little People". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::They're Playschool Little People, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::::::[http://www.fisher-price.com/US/littlepeople/default_flash.asp Fisher-Price], actually. And they're no longer in that classic design. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::Add'd. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

==Computer Sketch==

Can somebody read that floppy to the right of Homestar on the Comp? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:40, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Or can anybody read Basic? Does the summary mean anything in particular? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:42, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Or know what brand of computer that is? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:46, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Just looked up the basic, " 160 vlin 12, 17 at 26". 160 is the line number of the command. It means draw a vertical line from y-coordinate 12 to y-coordinate 17 at x-coordinate 26. That compy looks like an Apple II to me (and I found the "vlin" thing on an Apple II page). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:47, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::I've seen that PC before... Isn't that the one from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? Or is it the one from [[Puppet Time]]? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:55, 7 October 2005 (BST)
:::::Okay, I updated the page with the info Coder found. And if anybody could zoom in and read that floppy or anything, that would be awsome. And after careful cross-scruiteny, it appears that the computer used in the Sketchbook is indeed the same used by the [[Videlectrix]] people, even on the same desk. The one difference is that the logo on the keyboard (I think it was the Apple logo) is strangely absent from the [[Videlectrix]] photo. Most likely to avoid any possible legal problems and simplify it up, since they were photoshopping the [[Peasant's Quest]] image onto the screen anyways. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:43, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Consistency in dates ==

I just noticed that the date abbreviations in this page are not consistent. In general I have seen pages use 3 letter abbreviations. This is the case for most months here except: Sept, June (listed as both June and Jun) and April (also listed as Apr). I suggest that we make them all be 3 character abbreviations no more. Sounds good? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:15, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
:Well since there was no mention either way i'm gonna go ahead and do it. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

== Mixed-up pictures ==

There's something wrong with my computer or something like that. In the Sketchbook window, I see the words "homestar ice crusher", but from there up it's the old picture of Strong Mad holding his mystical orbs. [http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9644/sketchbookmessedup3wr.png 1] You guys are pretty computer-savvy, anyone know what's wrong? And if not, please don't blame me. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 09:00, 24 December 2006 (EST). Well, it's actually 12:05 on January 27, 2006.
:A lot of users have been commenting on similar mysterious problems, and it likely surrounds your page cache and what cached version of what your browser is loading. In this case it's loading a recent .xml with an old picture. Try clearning your cache to see if that does the trick. I think that's what the other users recommend, and pretty much the only thing that would solve it. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:13, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== none shall pass! ==

None shall pass! for a minute there i thought it read, YOU SHALL NOT PASS! for lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 10:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

:I actually was thinking Monty Python and the Holy grail when I say that. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 13:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
:: I agree with Inivsible Robot Fish. [[USer:Sbmaniac|Sbmaniac]]

== Commas vs. Periods ==

I'll grant that commas and periods are barely distinguishable from each other in the caption font. But you can tell the difference by looking very closely. Commas have the smallest tail imaginable. Compare:

[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/e/e9/20060119_sketchbook_orbs_up_yo.PNG orbs up, yo] 
[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/7/79/20060209_sketchbook_nice_inking_mike.PNG nice inking, mike] 
[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/8/81/20060216_sketchbook_none_shall_pass_eww.PNG none shall pass! eww.]

If you cannot see a slight dip (just a pixel or two) in the comma images, copy all three of them to MS Paint (or whatever), zoom in, and compare the commas and periods. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

== poopertrooper? ==

On the page, it says "poopertrooper" is a reference to Super Troopers. I think it's more likely it's a refernce to pooper scoopers. -[[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 23:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:I thought of "pooper scooper" when I first saw it. Super Troopers, to me, seems a lot more unlikely. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[[IMDB:tt0247745|Super Troopers]] is a movie about state troopers, who's uniform is nowhere near to what the poopsmith wears. In science fiction, stromtroopers dress in a similar way to The Poopsmith. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
:There is no way storm troopers has any relevance here. Poopertrooper - pooper scooper is just as good as poopertrooper to super troopers. one has the same root of pooper, the other has same ending of trooper, storm trooper is just not even close and they don't look anything alike. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 14:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

:I thought it sounded like Koopa Troopas. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 23:55, 17 March 2006(UTC)

::That seems like way too much of a stretch. If they wanted to reference Koopa Troopas, it probably would have said "Poopa Troopas". [[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 02:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

:Don't get mad, I wasn't the one that edited it into the article. I only said what I thought it was at first, I wasn't like "0MG J00 5UX0R L4M0 L0L I7 I5N7 UB3R P00P3R SC00P3R I7 K00P4 7R00P4!!!!!!!!111111!!!11!!!11!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!111one" - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 02:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:: Chill out, I wasn't mad, I was just commenting that it seemed like too much of a stretch. [[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 20:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Now I'M mad that people keep changing the article cos they think my idea was right, it wasn't even an idea! - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 00:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I vote Super Troopers. Its about police. The stormtrooper Poopsmith is obviously a form of police. Referencing pooperscoopers makes *no* contextual sense. I'm changing it back. [[User:Piscez]]

:Here's what bugs me. When you say, "this '''is''' a reference to..." you are stating something is fact. In this case, we all have our opinions, and each think ours are correct. The fact '''is''' that none of were there when TBC sketched this out and don't have a flippin' clue what they were refering to. Therefore, I propose the following revision:
==== Pooper Trooper Scooper Dooper Blooper ====
Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or the [[wikipedia:George_Lucas|George Lucas']] [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]].

{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

In general, users here seem to think "refers to" means "resembles". IRF is right; only TBC know for sure about what's a reference. Some are obvious, but I'm sure there are a lot of references we'll never get. And then there are a lot of things that resemble other things but TBC never were trying to refer to that thing. I think as a knowledge base we need to be a bit more conservative in how we decide references. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 12:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

''Stormtroopers'' seems the most obvious reference. Not the George Lucas kind, but rather the Hitler/Orwell kind. (Those of you who are still somewhat whippersnapperesque should be aware that the term predated ''Star Wars'' by a great many years.) Most of the other suggested references seem to be simple attempts to match up same or similar sounding words, rather than considering the actual ''context''. {{User:Bill/sig}} 17:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:Storm troopers is what I was saying all along. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

ok then ''Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]] (from [[wikipedia:World_War_I|WWI]]).''

either way, its still spec at best, and in response to Bill, the usage of pooper cannot be ignored why else would TBC go from The Poopsmith to pooper if not trying to make a ryhme such as Super Trooper or refer to the legendary pooper scooper. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
:For the rhyme, perhaps. Just because the rhyme is funny. Doesn't have to be a reference to pooper or super. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

My two cents: Pooper Scooper and Stormtrooper are both meaningful enough to be included. "Super Trooper" and "Koopa Troopa" are both based on "Stormtrooper" and, thus, unnecessary. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Ahem. I would Like to add at this point that the Koopa Troopas were the second most common enemies (next to goombas) in the original Super Mario Bros., which came out BEFORE Star Wars: A New Hope. So if anything, Stormtroopers are based off of Koopa Troopas. (Very, very unlikely.) --{{User:The very strongest}} 12:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

:See my retraction above, storm troopers is a term that refers to certain soldiers at the end of WWI, which is pre-television. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I like your idea, I R F, I vote that we go with that one. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 04:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, the opinions are vast so I think a good'ol vote is in order

== Super Suudsu Me ==

Feels like the 5-month-old suudsu is a reference to the French fry aging experiment in [[Wikipedia:Super Size Me|Super Size Me]]. But I haven't seen the film, so I don't know how direct the connection is. Anyone want to do a little fact-checking here? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:I haven't seen it either, but the fact that this was posted five months to the day after [[bedtime story]] was released says to me that nobody actually ''drank'' the suudsu or dumped it out, and it's just been sitting there. It actually reminds me of the old clichè of the guy with the extremely dirty bedroom finally trying to clean it up and pulling out a half-eaten sandwich or burrito from under the bed and exclaiming "So ''that's'' what happened to my sandwich [burrito]." And by then it's covered with mold and he's got to shoo a [[Gavin|roach]] or two away from it before he touches it. The only specific example I can think of right now is from [[Wikipedia:Even Stevens]] (the episode where a haz mat team is needed to clean Louis's room and he has to sleep in Donnie's room. No, I don't watch the Disney channel anymore, but my younger sbblings frequently leave the TV on when they're not watching it and my ADD brain will be distracted by ut. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 20:40, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

== Missy's The Cheat ==

Hmm... an upcoming Marzipan-drawn episode?? Probably not, but if it happens, you read it here first! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
*It looks like a Dr. Seuss character. Like it's got a lion head and tail, but with a penguin body. I think it's kinda cute though! -[[User:Compdude|Compdude]]
*I think it looks like an Easter egg with a lion's mane, beady eyes, and a tail. Very nice, though. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 19:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

==Female Coach Z?==

It says that's some kind of female coaz Z with a 3 instead of a Z is in this week's sketchbook... But it's clearly Homeschool winner's symbol! And I guess this means this is an alternate verion of Coach Z who'll never be used...
:Not sure about the HW connection - his symbol is a speech balloon. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::While I'm not entirely sure it's a female (I was edit-conflicted on putting it up, and my description just said "long-haired"), I can safely say that's a three. Dunno where you're getting the Homeschool Winner thing from. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I can see from where he got the Homeschool idea from. The space between the 3 and the circle looks like Homeschool's word bubble upside down. But it says 3 on the caption iself, so no argue there. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

==Numba zero==

I removed the Gilbert Arenas reference from last week's sketch description because there's no proof that it is. There have been plenty of players in the NBA who've worn number 0, and it can't be more than coincidence. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 02:35, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

==Sample of Style==

Anyone else notice a simularity between the styles of Numba 0 Strong Sad and Droolstar Runner? They're both in a new sketchy style with lots of detail and shadow as if they were draw at the same time or for the same purpose. Not only that they're also both in a very school-type setting. Granted Homestar could be asleep anywhere, and Strong Sad could be playing professional basketball but I seriously doubt thats the case. My question is, do you guys think this is a sign of toons to come?
*Hmm, maybe! They could be getting more into chiaroscuro shading, like SS's dragon.[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

'''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 [[Thy Dungeonman III]].

=== 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]].
*Looking at the rock in the middle of the river gives a reference to "Rock of Ages" by [[Wikipedia:Def Leppard|Def Leppard]].
*When you scare Poor Gary it says he "broke on through to the other side," a reference to "Break on Through" by [[Wikipedia:The Doors|the Doors]].
*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.

Crap

Stongbah — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 21:50:36 GMT

Stongbah: /* Holy Crap! and Other Exclamations */ Nope.

{{about|word itself}} {{for|substance which [[The Poopsmith]] shovels|Whatsit}}
[[Image:Really Old Tandy.PNG|thumb|"I like-a to say, 'Holy crap!'"]]
The word '''"crap"''' is a prominent part of the [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner universe]]. The word itself is often used as a substitute for [[Swears|vulgarity]], and it often describes things that [[Strong Bad]] and other [[Characters|characters]] find stupid or offensive. In addition, Strong Bad has become infamous for the phrase "Holy crap!", an exclamation he frequently used [[Strong Bad Evolution|early in his evolution]], but not so much today. In fact, Strong Bad currently voices his displeasure openly whenever he receives an email that refers to his former habit of using the word (see [[Crapfully Yours]]).
