Death

Takashiru517 — Sun, 13 May 2007 22:21:45 GMT

Takashiru517: /* Old-Timey */

[[Image:Sbemail 168.png|thumb|"Oh, he looks so peaceful."]]
In the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work, there are several instances of a [[Characters|character]]'s '''death''' or near death. As in many cartoons, such deaths are often impermanent: the character may later appear alive, often with no explanation.

==Appearances==
===[[Bad Graphics Ghost]]===
*In an [[Easter egg]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[ghosts]], it is possible to "kill" the Bad Graphics Ghost.

===[[Bubs]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[pom pom]], Bubs mentions having "almost died the 15th time."
*In [[Sample of Style]], [[Mike Chapman]] rips the cardboard tube that "produces" Bubs's voice. [[Matt Chapman]] says that they will have to kill off Bubs, "just like [[Homeschool Winner]]". A picture of Bubs's grave then appears.
*In the Strong Bad Email [[unnatural]], Strong Bad frequently suggests that they kill the rampaging [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]].

===[[Cheat Commandos]]===
*In the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|commercial]], [[Firebert]] is shown killing two [[Blue Laser Minions]] by blowing up a cliff above them, sending rocks crashing down on top of them. ([[Coach Z]] similarly "kills" five Blue Laser Minion action figures by using [[Reinforcements]]' [[Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket]] to send a [[Pie|pie]] plate crashing down on them.)
*In [[Shopping for Danger]], [[Crackotage]] remarks that [[Reynold]] would "prob'ly die" if he went on a mission with the rest of them, later heading back to base "to make sure Reynold isn't dead".
*In [[Commandos in the Classroom]], two Blue Laser Minions are just about to shoot [[Fightgar]] when we cut away from them.
*In [[Let us give TANKS!]], all of the main Commandos (except [[Reynold]]) are ostensibly killed in a nuclear explosion at the [[Blue Laser Cottage]], along with the [[Blue Laser Commander]] and at least two [[Blue Laser Minions]].
**In the same toon, the commander of the [[Green Helmets]] asks [[Gunhaver]] for air support in a battle because of the "heavy losses" they're suffering.
***Also in the same toon, [[Fightgar]] threatens to shoot the Blue Lasers with "bullet-shooting guns" (but it turns out he was just kidding).

===[[Frank Bennedetto]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[army]], Frank Bennedetto "dies", after being kicked by Strong Bad. He is later seen alive in [[Labor Dabor]].
===[[Homestar Runner]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[the show]], Homestar says, "But it turned out I didn't die."
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0]], Strong Bad as "[[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|Detective Everybody]]" said Homestar was shot 37 times for being too stupid.
*Homestar is in heaven on [[Main Page 6]] and is seen in a zombie-like form on [[Main Page 7]].
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]], Homestar calls to say he is sinking in quicksand, and says that if Marzipan helps, he would be "really, really still alive."

===[[Homsar]]===
*In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[homsar]], [[Strong Bad]] "kills" him with the [[Heavy Lourde]] at the request of Vinnie C. Although [[The Brothers Chaps]] intended at first for him to be killed, he was later revealed to be alive but seriously injured in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5]]. The Heavy Lourde is dropped on him again on the [[Homsar Main Page]].
*In the Strong Bad Email [[origins]], he and [[Marzipan]] are glued together and "left for dead" at [[The Stick]], even though neither one actually dies. Strong Bad later comments on Marzipan's "considerable resistance to death".
*In [[cliffhangers]], Strong Bad drops Homsar and [[The King of Town]] off a [[Cliffs|cliff]].

===[[Kerrek]]===
*In [[interview]], an Easter egg shows him after being "smote" by [[Trogdor]].
*In the game [[TROGDOR!]], when you reach the level 50 interlude, Kerrek is burninated by Trogdor.
*In [[Peasant's Quest]], he is slain by Rather Dashing with his bow and arrow.

===[[The King of Town]]===
*In [[Halloween Fairstival]], after seeing an X-ray of the King's heart, Strong Bad is content to "let the King die in peace."
*In [[cliffhangers]], the King is dropped from a cliff, along with [[Homsar]].

===[[Marzipan]]===
*In [[Date Nite]], Strong Bad suggests drowning Marzipan and The Cheat.

===[[Multi-Function Dragon]]===
*In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], the Dragon is killed when speared by [[The Knight]] in the "instant death" section of his chest.

===[[Old-Timey]]===
*In [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] falls off a cliff. He is later revealed to be in [[Hell]] in an Easter egg.
*In [[That A Ghost]], all of the [[Characters#Old-Timey|main characters]] are reduced to skeletons, and [[Old-Timey Bubs]] pokes his head out of a grave asking [[Strong Man]] to "please keep it down."
*[[Rumble Red]] is killed by [[Old-Timey Marzipan|Old-Timey Marzipan's]] machine, which she gave to him as a [[Decemberween]] present.
*[[Sickly Sam]] buries himself alive on Tuesdays, and has numerous traits of an undead being, including a partially exposed skeleton.
*In [[malloween commercial]], [[Mr.Shmallow]]'s grave is seen in one scene.

===[[Pom Pom]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[pom pom]], Kevin wonders what would happen to Pom Pom if he was poked with a pin. Strong Bad decides to try this, except that he would also be blindfolded and Pom Pom would be set on fire with the [[BMW Lighter]]. He believes that Pom Pom exploded in "a big fiery ball that was visible from space", when in reality he got a "severe pummeling" by Pom Pom. He even wrote [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]] a letter of condolence.
*In [[Where's The Cheat?]], Strong Bad calls [[Marzipan]] and pretends to be [[Homestar Runner]], and he tells her that he got mad and killed Pom Pom.
*Pom Pom's ghost flies out of his grave on [[Main Page 7]].

===[[Rather Dashing]]===
*Rather Dashing can die in a variety of ways throughout ''[[Peasant's Quest]]''. The most noteworthy of these is when he gets burninated by [[Trogdor]] at the end of the game.

===[[Señor]] and [[Mr. Bland]]===
*According to the email [[origins]], they were by far the most popular characters until they were crushed by a falling [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. However, they manage to reappear in [[Strongest Man In the World]].

===[[Strong Bad]]===
*Strong Bad is in heaven on [[Main Page 6]] and he rises from his grave on [[Main Page 7]].
*Strong Bad's grave is seen at the end of [[replacement]].
*The Strong Bad Email [[your funeral]] consists entirely of Strong Bad imagining what his funeral would be like.
*An egg in the likeness of Strong Bad's head smashes in [[Eggs (toon)|Eggs]]

===[[Strong Sad]]===
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary]] — Strong Sad reveals that he ''himself'' dreams of his own death (over and over and over...).
*[[A Folky Tale]] — Strong Sad "faints", making [[Coach Z]] believe he killed him.
*Email [[caffeine]] — Strong Bad concludes that his "test subject" is dead (which Strong Sad immediately denies).
*Email [[impression]] — In complimenting The Cheat's costume, Coach Z says "It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today!"
*Email [[fingers]] — As Strong Bad imagines what it would be like if he used fake fingers, the viewer can see a dead Strong Sad behind the couch in one scene. Also during this sequence, two Easter eggs show Strong Sad stuffed inside a [[Coach Z's Locker Room|locker]] and a [[Soapbox|soapbox]].
*Email [[personal favorites]] — Strong Bad types "I swear on Strong Sad's grave" in the unaired email "[[Tape leg|Tape Leg]] 2".
*[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] — A picture on the first screen shows The Cheat serving Strong Bad a platter with Strong Sad's head on it.
*Email [[retirement]] — "Strong Sad's ghost" and "Strong Sad's corpse" are among the entries in Strong Bad's Cloud Shape Spotting Log, as seen in an Easter egg.
*[[Decemberween Short Shorts]] — Strong Sad's ornament falls to the ground and breaks into several pieces.
*Email [[unnatural]] — Strong Sad paints a picture with the word "Death" on a bar of soap.

===[[Teen Girl Squad]]===
*The main characters in Teen Girl Squad are killed off nearly every episode in a variety of ways, yet they always come back alive in the next issue, and sometimes later in the same issue, as seen with [[Cheerleader]] in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*In an Easter egg of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], [[What's Her Face]] suggests killing someone off for their tenth [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue.

===[[The Cheat]]===
*The Cheat has his own song, [[The Cheat is Not Dead]].
*In the Strong Bad email [[bedtime story]], The Cheat's vitals are tested after being bug-bombed in order to go to sleep. Strong Bad also says "If we're lucky, the Cheat will wake up alive the next morning".
*In [[Date Nite]], Strong Bad suggests drowning Marzipan and The Cheat.

===[[Videlectrix Mascot]]===
*At the beginning of [[Peasant's Quest]], when the Videlectrix logo is shown, the mascot runs in with a sword, then trips and impales himself on it.

===[[The Yello Dello]]===
*During the mountain scene in the [[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|new version]], [[Pom Pom]] aims his gun at the Yello Dello, but throws it away when Homestar says he wants to "take her alive."

===Strong Bad's Computers===
*Strong Bad's computers often meet with untimely demises, as seen in [[gimmicks]], [[virus]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]]. The [[Tandy 400]] returned in ghost form in [[ghosts]], and both the [[Compy 386]] and the Tandy appeared in ghost form after Strong Bad destroyed them in [[retirement]].

:You're gonna mess around showdown
:Put your nose down showdown

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*In filmic terms, scholars [[Wikipedia:David Bordwell|David Bordwell]] and Kristin Thompson define a [[Wikipedia:Montage (film)|montage]] sequence as "a segment of film which summarizes a topic or compresses a passage of time into brief symbolic or typical images." Also, montage sequences generally represent a longer passage of time than the also-typical "dissolve" or "fade" techniques between shots.

===Trivia===
*In the original version of this e-mail, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees.
*This email introduces an updated, more symmetrical version of the gray "horns" on Strong Bad's mask.
*The Champeenship fight is the first time we ever see Homestar unambiguously wearing [[Homestar's Pants|pants]], aside from his Halloween costumes, his skating outfit in the [[Theme Song Video|Theme Song video]], and a near-pants-wearing in [[monument]].
*This is the last proper [[Compy 386]] email before the disaster in [[virus]].

===Remarks===
*Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[HR:auction.html|"Some Type of Online Auction"]].
*Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve!]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].
*The scoreboard in the gym has the word "TIMES" written under the timer.

===Goofs===
*As The Cheat keeps getting doors slammed in his face as a salesman, the last place he visits with the blue wall and white door, the door frame ends before the bottom of the toon's frame, and the right end of the door ends before the right of the frame.

===Glitches===
*Between The Wagon's picture and The Paper's picture, there's a split-second sound clip that sounds like the beginning of "It's" from the Champeenship montage, and the Easter egg at the end.

===Inside References===
*The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which [[The Brothers Chaps]] decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In doing so, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the [[Quite Fancy 'Chup|ketchup]] and fries from [[funny]], the [[The Halloween House|house]] from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theatre]] from [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long-Haired Band]].
*The [[Taranchula]] album cover is the same one from the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], on which their song [[Moving Very Slowly]] appears. The name "Taranchula" also appears in the e-mail [[band names]].
*The first and last house that The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes stop at are the same house. They are also the same format of the house that you give treats from in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Besides the [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|smoking game]] and [[big white face]], this is the first actual cartoon in which we see [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|The Cheat smoking]]. Strong Bad originally acknowledged The Cheat's nicotine habit in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
*The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.
*"The #1" T-Shirt is loosely referenced by Strong Sad in the commentary of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search Of The Yello Dello]].
**Though the shirt Strong Sad refers to says "''I'm'' #1" according to him, as opposed to "''The'' #1."
*Strong Bad has a problem identifying things that rhyme with "agon" in song. In this email, he mistakes a wagon for a girl, and in [[dragon]] he mistakes a dragon for a man, or maybe a dragon man. He catches the mistake both times.
*The buzzer used for the scoreboard is the same as the [[DELETED]] buzzer.
*The song played on the ending credits montage is the same song used in one of the [[boring (really)]] Easter eggs.

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar is singing in the Easter egg ("You're the Best") comes from the 1984 classic ''[[Wikipedia:The_Karate_Kid|The Karate Kid]]''. Homestar's headband, bearing the design of an old Japanese flag, is also a reference to this film, and has appeared before in both [[pom pom]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
**There is actually a song called "Training Montage" from Rocky IV by Vince DiCola.
**The scene during which "You're the Best" plays in ''The Karate Kid'' is another well-known martial arts training montage.
*Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of the training sequence from the immortal boxing epic, ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky|Rocky]]''.
*The Strong Bad Easter egg is a take on the popular [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which players saw a similar sequence in between bouts of various boxing circuits (the jumps from Minor to Major, and from Major to World).
**The ''Punch-Out!!'' sequence itself was a clear reference to the training sequence in ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky|Rocky]]''.
*There actually is a system call in the [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] operating system called <tt>creat</tt>. It creat(e)s a new file.
*The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro is most likely a reference to how such shows often resort to the gimmick of having zoo workers appear on the show, accompanied by their animal partners, whose mischievous antics can often get a cheap laugh from the audience.
*The Cheat not being able to sell any toner is reminiscent of the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Salesman (film)|Salesman]]'', where traveling salesmen have varying rates of success selling Bibles. The poorest-selling Bible seller of the group winds up losing his job.
*The line about Strong Bad's show being canceled before the commercial break may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Turn-On|Turn-On]]'', which was pre-empted by many affiliates a mere 10 minutes into its pilot episode.
*The End Credits Photo Montage song is reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' song "Headlong."
*''[[Wikipedia:Animal Planet|Animal Planet]]'' is a TV network featuring programs that talk about all kinds of animals.

===Fast Forward===
*The Wagon Fulla Pancakes really ''does'' do some spots for a used car dealership, as it shows up in a commercial for [[Senor Cardgage]]'s in [[Senorial Day]].
*Strong Bad and his pink suit from the Easter egg show up again in [[rock opera]].
*Homestar's "weekend" song plays at [[The King of Town]]'s party of [[boring (really)]].
*The "Showdown" song plays while Pom Pom and Homestar work out in [[Strongest Man in the World]].

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MATT:''' Listen... ''{Strong Bad says, "actress Marzipan" in the background.}'' And we've got Marzipan right here with us!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, indecipherable}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' He called you an actress. Isn't that nice?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' Seems like usually he calls you something worse than that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

''{Matt and Mike both laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' You're doing a good job acting right now, saying the word "yeah" over and over again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you.

'''MATT:''' Oh, thank you. A new word.

'''MARZIPAN:''' So, what are we here for, today?

'''MIKE:''' We're doing the commentary for the "montage" email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We're here in this tiny, glass-enclosed booth, recording some commentary.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It is getting smelly in here, too.

'''MATT:''' It is. Mike and I have been in here all day.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It smells like Fritos.

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever seen this email before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I... haven't.

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

'''MIKE:''' Look, he's got a wagon fulla pancakes, isn't that something?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Those are not real pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' No? What are they?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I dunno, I think they're made out of plaster.

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, there's the lake that did appear later as per your, uh, prophecy on the old DVD.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Your comments of the—

'''MIKE:''' ''{indecipherable}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that we were going to use it later and— and we did, just a few weeks after that I think.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It really is starting to smell.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Let's comment more on the— on the email. Is that— that was completely new, that— I mean it looks kind of like the one from — can't say "job" — doesn't it? But that theater—?

'''MIKE:''' It's been modified for the theater, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Um, we should head back there someday, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' And maybe we will.

'''MATT:''' For a movie.

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your friend The Cheat.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look, the pancakes are wearing a hat, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see.

'''MATT:''' And holding a briefcase somehow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And now they're enjoying a highball.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that The Cheat smoked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's got a problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' There's your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar had that— that's ''my'' shirt.

'''MATT:''' That's yours? Uh oh, 'cause he sells it later on in this email, so—

'''MARZIPAN:''' That was mine! I was wondering what happened to it.

'''MATT:''' He got a good deal for it, at least.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What'd he get?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I'm not sure. Probably, like, 17 dollars.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll tell him he needs to split the proceeds.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He should. Sounds like it should ''all'' go to you; it was ''your'' shirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' A nice sunset.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's okay.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, Homestar looks like Daniel LaRusso. His Karate's a joke.

'''MIKE:''' "You think you can rely on that crane crap?"

'''MARZIPAN:''' He's actually trained in Tae Kwon Do.

'''MATT:''' Really? Homestar is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's probably why he didn't do well with the Karate.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho! He learned the wrong martial art.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' What do you think of this, um, end of the— end of the movie photo montage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's okay.

'''MATT:''' See, look. Oh! He— no, sorry, I lied. He got it for three bucks. Not 17.

'''MIKE:''' You got a buck-fifty comin' to ya.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I— Animal Planet's my favorite program.

'''MATT:''' Hey, isn't "cancelled" spelled wrong there?

'''MIKE:''' Was it?

'''MATT:''' I think "cancelled" only has one L. Let's change that before we put out this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' We can— ''{Pause}'' Oh, it's not over yet.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' You might think it's over, but it's not.

'''MATT:''' Say something!

'''MIKE:''' Now it's over.

===Fun Facts===
*Daniel LaRusso is the name of the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''.
*"Cancelled" appears on both the website and DVD. Though both are correct ways of spelling, "canceled" is generally a more American way of spelling it.
*Unlike her prior DVD commentary appearances in emails 1-100, Marzipan has largely dropped the premise that homestarrunner.com is a show and not "real" life.
*"Can't Say Job" is the name of the HTML and Flash files for [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*[[Wikipedia:Tae Kwon Do|Tae Kwon Do]] (literally ''hand and foot art'') is, indeed, another form of martial arts.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' The views expressed in the following email show do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anybody cool. Oh, except me. ''{lowers voice}'' I'm cool.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you Have a car If you do what Kind 
of car is it. Is it Pimped OUt? 
 
From Kyle 
in West Point, NY (Military Base)</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the email exactly as typed, punctuation errors and all, except for the word "Pimped", which he pronounces "Pimp-id"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to 'Popular Science' about it. "''Popular Science''." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence." ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Anydangway, to properly make an example out of both you, and your email's butts, I'm going to whip out an old classic move of mine, and hit you with a little uhhhh digga digga digga digga digga digga DEL-

''{Cut to a wider view of Strong Bad's desk, where Homestar is off to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Interrupting Strong Bad}'' Hup-tup-tup-tup-tup. ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}'' Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.

''{Cut back to zoomed view of Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Shaking fist}'' What are you doing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... Did you just say "doing"? ''{This is said as to rhyme with "boing."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No. ''Doo-ing''. I said, "What are you ''doo-ing''?".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Well, you spelled it the same.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-ga...?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Anyways, on to my cool words that I had to say. First, check out all my hydraulics.

''{Homestar pulls out a remote control with three switches on it. He flips the first two. His cap moves up and down on his head, making mechanical car hydraulic noises. He then continues to mix and match the usage of the switches to adjust the pitch, yaw, and angle of his cap in regards to his head. While this is going on, he continues to talk, commenting on the particular movements.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And a little...

''{His cap goes up, forward, back, forward, back, forward, back, and then down onto his head again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And everybody loves...

''{His cap slides up, and then forward on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now turn the lights down ''low''.

''{The lights dim, and his cap glows pink from underneath.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sweetish ground effects.

''{The room lights brighten and the "effects" turn off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And the coup ''{''Coup'' is said as "koop".}'' de grace,

''{He bends down putting his cap within the reach of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Spin my buzzer.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My buzzer. Give it a spin.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why am I doing this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, you said "doing" ''{This rhymes with "boing" again.}'' again.

''{Strong Bad makes some frustrated noises. He then spins the propeller on Homestar's cap. It gives a propeller-like sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing as the spin continues}'' Dooooo, doo doo doo dooooooooo. Dooo doot doot doot doot! Doo da doo da doo. Doo doot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now you're singing the theme from ''Night Court''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, not ''singing''. When you spin my buzzer, it ''plays'' the theme from ''Night Court'' starring Richard Moll. And it's custom-installed.

''{Strong Bad begins writing something unseen on his boxing glove with a permanent marker while muttering. The words "custom installed" are the only audible words he mutters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now what are ''you'' doing? ''{This is '''still''' rhymed with "boing".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'm just tricking out my fist here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh cool. What's it going to say? 2-E-Z?

''{2-E-Z flashes on the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or, like, NEVA-DIE?

''{NEVA-DIE flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it says this.

''{He shows Homestar. Written on his boxing glove is a mirrored "DELETED" in Gothic text.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, they spelled that backwards. You need to take that thing back right—

''{Strong Bad dives forward and punches Homestar. The screen goes white for a moment. Fade back to Homestar leaning up against a crack in the wall from the impact with his head. He's lost his cap, his eyes are X's, and Strong Bad's fist has left the Gothic "DELETED" imprinted on his forehead. Yellow stars float around his head, and some strange music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dazed}'' Ooohh-oooh. Thank you once again for my pies. I spent particular effort on the Crème Bernard.

''{Cut to Strong Bad back at the Compy. The screen has been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and runs off to the right. After a moment, he pokes his head back on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Talk to my man with the green and white stripes!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the word ''car?'' at the end to see Homestar Runner dazed again.

:''{Cut to a still-dazed Homestar Runner.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dazed}'' It's such a lovely gathering of pies and pie people... Like to give a shout-out to Lemon Pretend over there...

*Click on the word "No!" at the end to see Strong Bad talking to Strong Sad.

:''{Cut to Strong Sad's Room. Strong Sad is reading a copy of'' [[Nerdular Nerdence]] [[Periodicals|magazine]]. ''Enter Strong Bad.}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Gron Sad!

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{He looks up.}'' Why do you keep calling me that?

:'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... change of pace. Anyways, how many emails would it be if you got, like, two jillion emails every two jillion seconds? Like, a lot, or a little?

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Jillion is not a real unit of measure!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever, NERD! ''{Strong Bad leaves, muttering to himself}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' 'S'right! ''{He holds up his hand.}'' Say it again!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*In both this email and [[invisibility]], Homestar was taken by surprise. Homestar beat up Strong Bad in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. However, this cartoon has been said by The Brothers Chaps to show characters doing things they would never do in their current state, Strong Bad's dominance is probably the norm.
*The page in ''Nerdular Nerdence'' that Strong Sad is reading says "electrons, scalene triangles, least ...mon denominators." "Mon" probably indicates the end of "common."
*Homestar's cross eyes were used in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]]. But since it was never finished, technically this is their first appearance.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#ugh-lympics|ugh-lympics]]".

===Remarks===
*If you get two jillion emails every two jillion seconds, then you get an average of one email per second, because any nonzero finite number divided by itself (even made-up numbers like a jillion) is one.
*Strong Sad states that a "jillion is not a real unit of measure." However, Strong Bad uses "a jillion" as a ''number'', not as a [[Wikipedia:Units of measure|unit of measure]].
*Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his [[Left Handedness|left hand]] (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word ''DELETED'' would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
**It also may be more evidence to the fact that Strong Bad could be ambidextrous.
*After Strong Bad punches Homestar, the screen on the Compy is blank, even though Strong Bad never cleared it.
*Even though Strong Bad punches Homestar under the chin, ''DELETED'' appears across Homestar's eyes.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad spins Homestar's "buzzer" counterclockwise, but instead it turns clockwise.
*At the end of the email, the part of the "a> back" is placed over the edge of the Compy's screen.
*In between the red part of Homestar's hat and his head there are two tiny spaces that you can see through.

===Glitches===
*After the ''Nerdular Nerdence'' egg, you can hear the beginning of the Homestar egg just before the scene cuts back to the computer. This is due to the fact that the <code>gotoAndStop()</code> command is being performed later than it should be.
*In Homestar's egg, whenever he blinks (which he should not because he's knocked out) the X's on his eyes and some of his face get distorted and go back again.

===Inside References===
*"A-Digga-Digga-...DELETED!" is a reference to [[unused emails]].
*Homestar referred to his propeller as a "buzzer" in [[Some Puppet Stuff]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVDs.
*Strong Bad writes with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*2-E-Z might be a reference to the commentary from [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], where, in the commentary, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] says that the sports play has an "e" and a "z", spelling E-Z.
*Strong Bad uses the word "anydangway" in this email as he did in the email [[car]].

===Real-World References===

*''[[IMDB:tt0086770|Night Court]]'' was a popular TV sitcom running 1984 to 1992. [[IMDB:nm0596986|Richard Moll]] played the part of bailiff Bull Shannon. The [http://www.barbneal.com/wav/tvthemes/nightcrt.wav theme] to the show was composed by [[IMDB:nm0254477|Jack Elliot]], who also composed the ''[[IMDB:tt0072472|Barney Miller]]'' [http://www.barbneal.com/wav/tvthemes/bmiller.wav theme].
*[[Wikipedia:Popular Science|''Popular Science'']] is a magazine that features the latest breakthroughs in science and technology in a format that appeals to the common man.
*Kyle asking if Strong Bad's car is "Pimped OUt", as well as the hydraulics on Homestar's propellor cap are references to MTV's show [[Wikipedia:Pimp My Ride|''Pimp My Ride'']], where cars are tuned with hydraulics and the like to "pimp" them out.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad can later be seen in a [[Gremlin|car]] in [[dangeresque 3]] and [[road trip]].
*The Cheat is encouraged to win Strong Bad a car in [[pop-up]].
*The music playing in the background when Homestar is dazed is used again in [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], [[Strongest Man in the World]], and [[looking old]].
*A picture of Richard Moll's character in Night Court was later used on [[Strong Sad's Lament]]

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Hi!

'''MATT:''' We're back!

'''MIKE:''' Welcome to email one-oh-one!

'''MATT:''' We're back for another DVD!

'''MIKE:''' This is... uh... email number one-oh-one, Matt.

'''MATT:''' The first one after flashback.

'''MIKE:''' That's right, we took...

'''MATT:''' I think a lot of people didn't think we were gonna keep going.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's true. People speculated that we were gonna stop at a hundred, but we're, um, continuing to drive this little thing we've done into the ground.

''{Matt snickers.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, no, but we did take a couple weeks off after email a hundred, and so this is sorta the return...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh...

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad types "Gron Sad"}'' Gron Sad?

'''MIKE:''' That comes from our, uh...

'''MATT:''' Our niece. 

'''MIKE:''' Niece.

'''MIKE:''' Who used to call...

'''MATT:''' A girl's a niece, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''MATT:''' A niece is a girl.

'''MIKE:''' Because there's that joke about "Denise" and "Denephew."

'''MIKE:''' That's how I remember.

'''MATT:''' Oooooooh.

'''MATT:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I never heard that one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I'll remember that from now on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So our niece, when she was...

'''MATT:''' You know how little kids are dumb and can't talk right? She would say "Gron Sad" instead of "Strong Sad," and she would say "Graw Mad" instead of "Strong Mad."

''{Pause, until Homestar arrives in the email.}''

'''MATT:''' Here comes Homestar Runner. With his ''Cave Man Ugh-lympics'' is the...

'''MIKE:''' It was a good game.

'''MATT:''' It was.

'''MIKE:''' It's like an Olympic-type game where you had, like uh... hair-pulling, where you like had to drag some...

'''MATT:''' ''{amused}'' Where you had to drag a woman by the hair...

'''MIKE:''' Pull her by the hair... ride a dinosaur...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Something with the wheel, probably.

'''MIKE:''' It was good. ''{As Homestar shows off his hydraulic cap}'' This must the only time you really see the underside of Homestar's hat.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, ''{indecipherable}''

'''MIKE:''' ...His hat ever becomes three-dimensional.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Exactly. ''{as Homestar's hat glows}'' One time Mike put ground effects on our coffee table, when we used to live together.

'''MIKE:''' Nice. One of those red rope lights, I just taped it on the underside of it, it was nice.

'''MATT:''' It worked good.

'''MIKE:''' ''{As Strong Bad is about to spin Homestar's propeller}'' Of course...

'''MATT:''' This is the first time ''animated'' Homestar...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I was gonna say...

'''MATT:''' ...Calls his propeller a "buzzer."

'''MIKE:''' Stole that from Puppet Homestar. Night Court, of course, was part of the original Thursday-night lineup. Cosby Show...

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike's "Cosby Show"}'' Cosby Show! Family Ties! Cheers! Night Court! L.A. Law!

'''MIKE:''' Was Night Court nine or nine-thirty?

'''MATT:''' Nine-thirty.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Cheers...

'''MATT:''' Cheers was right after Family Ties.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Good lineup.

''{Pause. In response to "2-E-Z" and "NEVA-DIE":}''

'''MATT:''' I think those are both real things I've seen on people's dashboard windshields, driving around Atlanta.

''{Mike snickers}''

'''MIKE:''' There was one in Athens that was, I see you lookin'... "I C U"... he was pretty popular.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Homestar is dazed, to the sound effects}'' That's just me and Mike...

'''BOTH:''' ''{imitating the sound effect}'' OooOOooOOooOO...

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Strong Bad Email! Makes money! Strong Bad Email! Gets paid!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Just wondering...</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
What would you do different, if you could do it all over 
again? 
 
Crapfully yours, 
Richie Z 
Can-A-Duh
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Totally not gettin' old" in place of "Crapfully yours," and says each syllable of "Can-A-Duh" separately with a pause between each}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you're not related to Coach Z, are you, Richie? Or Coach Zed as you Canucks ''{pronounced Ca-nooks}'' call him. Whoa. Coach Zed. That's way cooler. I'm gonna start calling him that too and maybe he won't suck so bad! Thanks, Richie! Your pal, SB ''{says as "Sed Bed", clears screen}'' Alright, what would I do different? Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over. It's no secret that one of my biggest stnanks was involving Ali and Ali's sister. If I had to do that over again, there's no way I'd mess it up. Here's just what I'd do:

''{The "channel change" transition occurs as we cut to Strong Bad at the broken Tandy 400, and the first email from [[sisters]] is onscreen.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">Strong Bad, 
My sister and me think you are so cool. 
Do you have a girlfriend? There is two of us. 
Yours, 
Ali</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! There's two of them!

''{He places a candle next to the computer, clears the screen, and starts typing to romantic music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Ali. There's ONE of me, and I'd like to cordially invite myself over to your place tonight for dinner and afterdinner mints. After afterdinner mints, you and your sister, Ali Jr. I'll call her, can fight to the death over me. Wait. ''{music stops}'' No. Hold on. No, no dying. ''{He only types one "no."}'' Um, ''{music restarts}'' we should have an egg drop soup eating contest. ''{music comes to a scratching halt and he stammers}'' Hang on. I can't remember what happens next. ''{stops typing}'' The Cheat!

''{Homestar Runner shuffles up on his knees. He's covered in yellow body paint and dressed in a yellow shirt, with The Cheat-esque spots. Attached to his head is a black tuft of hair to make him look like The Cheat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wibble wee woo woo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''this'' is hilarious. Homestar, where's The Cheat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Squeakicoo! I'm The Cheat!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, really. Then what—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stands up}'' Surprise! Strong Bad, it's me! Homestar Runner! ''From school!''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I need The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, okay. ''{gets down on his knees again}'' Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not what I meant. Uh, I guess you'll have to do. Ahem. All right, The Cheat. I need you to help me with my award-winning rewrite of the Ali and Ali's sister email. There's two of them!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Skooko wibbo wee! You should serenade them! I can play the drum!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that sounds about right. Let's go practice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping up}'' I can play the drum!

''{Cut to The Field. Strong Bad sings into a microphone while Homestar bangs on a [[Wikipedia:floor tom|floor tom]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Don't you know I have a ''{feedback noise}'' BIG OL' RED HEAD! And a fat little body! ''{shakes body}'' And I never change my cloooothes! ''{high pitched, resulting in another feedback noise}'' No, I never change my cloooothes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad? I think I'm falling for you.

''{Little hearts bubble and pop over Homestar's head. Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No, no, no, no, no. That is not right at all. Making Homestar dressed as The Cheat fall in love with me is ''not'' what I had in mind! Whatever. Who cares? I didn't want to go to Sally's house anydangway! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, what else? I always felt a little bad about kicking The Cheat in email 23. Let's try that one again!

''{Channel change to the non-broken Tandy 400, with the email from [[little animal]] on it.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">What would you do if a little animal came 
up to you. 
 
crapfully yours, 
Ashley and Anthony</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...crapfully yours, Ashley and Anthony. ''{clears screen, types}'' Well, Ash and Ant, or Ley and Thony, or Shle and Ntho, or whatever you like to be called, if a little animal came up to me, I'd give him a pat on the head, a tuna-flavored treat, and some sage advice.

''{Cut back to reveal Homestar—still in his The Cheat disguise—kneeling next to Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meh, Strong Bad. Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''no way!'' This does not count! You are ''not'' gettin' any fish cookies outta me! But I ''will'' give you that sage advice and a ''{clears throat}'' "pat" on the head. ''{starts hitting Homestar with his keyboard}'' DON'T! EVER! DRESS! UP! As The CHEAT! AGAIN! PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And THYME!

''{Strong Mad walks up and glares menacingly at Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T HURT THE CHEAT!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big guy, that's not The Cheat. That's Homestar! From school!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meedley mee! I'm The Cheat! ''{Strong Mad smiles for a moment.}'' I'm not from school! Moooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrowing his eyes}'' Uh, The Cheat's not a cow, you know...

''{Strong Mad picks Strong Bad up by the leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa!

''{Strong Mad starts shaking Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT IS SO A COW!!!

''{As he shakes Strong Bad, coins fall out and Homestar pecks them off the ground like a chicken.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad! Put me down! You're making a terrible stnank!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It makes me all jangly inside! ''{shakes around as the coins rattle inside him}''

''{Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Alright, it's become abundantly clear that THIS is the email I should be redoing. Lappy, if you please.

''{The text disappears as the computer displays "Do Over!!!" with an accompanying explosion effect.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' DO OVER!!!

''{the original email comes back up, and Strong Bad types:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What would I do differently Richie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, except I might go back and taste out one of them Cheatcakes. ''{the scene cuts back to show the desk}'' Those things looked a-pretty good!

''{Homestar leans in, still in disguise and carrying a bag that says "MOLDY BREAD, GUYS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meeeeeeh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Wait! Nothing! Never! I regret ''nothing''!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly leaving the screen}'' Meeeeeeh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Phew!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, Strong Bad taps the back of his head a few times, shaking out more coins, which land on the desk.}''

*Click on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] at the end of the email to see The Cheat (disguised as Homestar Runner with kiss marks) and Marzipan together.
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, can you pass the soy crisps?
*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises of emphatic agreement}''
*:''{The Cheat hands Marzipan a bag labeled "Crisps, A-Soy!"}''

*"[[Wikipedia:Canuck|Canuck]]" is a nickname for a person from Canada.
*The top shine in Homestar's eyes is also colored yellow when he is painted as The Cheat.


===Remarks===

*Strong Bad uses the word "anydangway" in this email as he did in the email [[car]].

===Goofs===
*The Tandy's contrast buttons are still damaged when "little animal" is first being done-over, even though the Tandy is supposed to be undamaged. When the camera zooms away, the problem fixes itself.
*When Strong Bad redoes the Tandy-era emails, the star logo is further left than in the original and "contrast" is written in a different font.
*If you click the [[Floppy Disk Container]] before Strong Bad throws the change all over his desk, then the change will already be there when you cut back.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives the signature [[Crapfully Yours]] yet again.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' All right, so we're doing the commentary for email 130 right now, but guess what, Matt?

'''MATT:''' What, what's that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We haven't even ''made'' that email yet!

'''MATT:''' Uh oh, how're we gonna do the commentary?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know let's just start talking and, uh, we'll see it works for commentary.

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's making fun of somebody's name—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —or reading the email probably right now. Oh, let's see, oh he's got a dumb name and he misspelled something!

'''MIKE:''' It might be called "do over" or "junk commentary".

'''MATT:''' Really.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow, those both sound pretty intrigue-ling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we'll see.

'''MATT:''' How long, how do we know how long to go on for?

'''MIKE:''' We'll just go for a few minutes here and see, uh... Oh look, aah, ''{laughs}'' look what, what happened there! ''{Nothing actually happened.}''

'''MATT:''' That was pretty good!

'''MIKE:''' That was, uh, that was my idea, definitely it was the funniest part of the email and uh, I thought to do it, out of my own head.

'''MATT:''' Oh really, and what happened, Mike, in this part of the email that hasn't been—

'''MIKE:''' Well, I haven't written it yet, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Um,—

'''MIKE:''' But I know it was good!

'''MATT:''' —this one is definitely going to be an awesome email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's gonna... we're saving up.

'''MATT:''' All our... our tickets.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes. Um, so this, uh — Strong Sad, uh, doesn't appear in this email.

'''MATT:''' Oh, making some executive decisions are we?

'''MIKE:''' Well, his voice might be in it.

'''MATT:''' Okay, his vo—''{laughing}'' all right, well. We're gonna successfully write this email just by talking about it.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good idea.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, so let's pretend it's called "do over".

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' He's doing, he's redoing an email that he's already done.

'''MATT:''' One, or multiple ones?

'''MIKE:''' Let's say he just does parts of multiple ones.

'''MATT:''' Okay. ''{With uncannily accurate timing.}'' Uh oh, here comes Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Aah wait wait, here it is!

''{both laugh exaggeratedly}''

'''MATT:''' That's the fireman.

'''MIKE:''' Oh man, that gets my goose every time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Eww. Um, so which, so which ones is he going to do over, like old-old emails—

'''MIKE:''' Some old-old ones.

'''MATT:''' —like "tape leg"?

'''MIKE:''' Like... Why would he touch that one?

'''MATT:''' I mean that era. Of course, "tape leg" is off-limits.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Some in that era, maybe some—

'''MATT:''' Summon that era?

'''MIKE:''' Summon. I, I call upon thee to summon that era. No I think, uh, "invisibility", maybe, has some potential.

'''MATT:''' But that one's great!

'''MIKE:''' Oh I know, but it's just got a, you know, it's just maybe got a—

'''MATT:''' Go another direction?

'''MIKE:''' —maybe got one other thing. Maybe he wanted to do something else.

'''MATT:''' I hope that floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls comes back, 'cause I love those. That's my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe, maybe the "invisibility" one, the "do over" one, he should just, uh, in the "invisibility" email just wanna hang out with the, uh, floating box, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Act like it's not being carried by, uh---

'''MIKE:''' Right, by him.

'''MATT:''' —an invisible version of him?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That'd be good.

'''MIKE:''' And he and the, uh, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls, just gonna wreak havoc.

'''MATT:''' It'd be kinda like the, uh, Wagon Fulla Pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It'd be better than that. Funnier than that. That's ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MATT:''' You didn't think it was very funny, huh?

'''MIKE:''' ''{makes a long noise indicating "not really"}''

'''MATT:''' It was your idea if I remember correctly—

'''MIKE:''' —It was a good one!—

'''MATT:''' —to do the wagon full of pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' It's the second-funniest email ever written next to email 130.

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

'''MIKE:''' How long we've been goin' here, 'bout three minutes?

'''MATT:''' Ah, we got a ways.

'''MIKE:''' We got a little while, ''{stammers}'' use your own format.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Let's go for another minute yet, definitely.

'''MATT:''' Um, so I remember when we were a kid, this part. It was from when we were kids. ''{This part has nothing to do with when he was a kid.}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{holding in laughter}'' Yeah, that, that elementary school teacher we had.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and there was this, this kid at school, too, who would do that thing, and we probably made a movie about it. Uh, me and Neil.

'''MIKE:''' And then ''{someone}'' died. I kicked him in the head.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so we were going to put something sort of like that in a cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, and that was in our basement.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing to himself}''

'''MIKE:''' We used to do that... Sister Julie was not pleased when that happened.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' What else you got, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We got about twenty seconds here, Matt. What are your parting words? This is the last commentary on the DVD. This is the last chance you've got — Make it ''matter''. That's my new motto: "Make it matter." What's yours?

'''MATT:''' Uh, my new motto is... "Matters...Matt[[Names ending in -erson|erson]]".

'''MIKE:''' Good one. I'll give you one more chance.

'''MATT:''' Wah wah wahhh! ''{the "you lose" noise}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good one.

'''MATT:''' That's my motto.

'''MIKE:''' "Wah wah wah"?

'''MATT:''' Uh-huh.

'''MIKE:''' And what was mine?

'''MATT:''' Bump bump ba bummm!

'''MIKE:''' Make it matter. ''{laughs}''

''{The commentary is a little shorter than the email, so the toon's audio takes over.}''

==Fun Facts==
=== Fast Forward ===

*Matt's motto "Wah wah wah" is spoken by Homestar in the toon [[Cool Things]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' The views expressed in the following email show do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anybody cool. Oh, except me. ''{lowers voice}'' I'm cool.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you Have a car If you do what Kind 
of car is it. Is it Pimped OUt? 
 
From Kyle 
in West Point, NY (Military Base)</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the email exactly as typed, punctuation errors and all, except for the word "Pimped", which he pronounces "Pimp-id"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to 'Popular Science' about it. "''Popular Science''." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence." ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Anydangway, to properly make an example out of both you, and your email's butts, I'm going to whip out an old classic move of mine, and hit you with a little uhhhh digga digga digga digga digga digga DEL-

''{Cut to a wider view of Strong Bad's desk, where Homestar is off to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Interrupting Strong Bad}'' Hup-tup-tup-tup-tup. ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}'' Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.

''{Cut back to zoomed view of Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Shaking fist}'' What are you doing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... Did you just say "doing"? ''{This is said as to rhyme with "boing."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No. ''Doo-ing''. I said, "What are you ''doo-ing''?".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Well, you spelled it the same.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-ga...?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Anyways, on to my cool words that I had to say. First, check out all my hydraulics.

''{Homestar pulls out a remote control with three switches on it. He flips the first two. His cap moves up and down on his head, making mechanical car hydraulic noises. He then continues to mix and match the usage of the switches to adjust the pitch, yaw, and angle of his cap in regards to his head. While this is going on, he continues to talk, commenting on the particular movements.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And a little...

''{His cap goes up, forward, back, forward, back, forward, back, and then down onto his head again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And everybody loves...

''{His cap slides up, and then forward on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now turn the lights down ''low''.

''{The lights dim, and his cap glows pink from underneath.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sweetish ground effects.

''{The room lights brighten and the "effects" turn off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And the coup ''{''Coup'' is said as "koop".}'' de grace,

''{He bends down putting his cap within the reach of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Spin my buzzer.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My buzzer. Give it a spin.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why am I doing this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, you said "doing" ''{This rhymes with "boing" again.}'' again.

''{Strong Bad makes some frustrated noises. He then spins the propeller on Homestar's cap. It gives a propeller-like sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing as the spin continues}'' Dooooo, doo doo doo dooooooooo. Dooo doot doot doot doot! Doo da doo da doo. Doo doot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now you're singing the theme from ''Night Court''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, not ''singing''. When you spin my buzzer, it ''plays'' the theme from ''Night Court'' starring Richard Moll. And it's custom-installed.

''{Strong Bad begins writing something unseen on his boxing glove with a permanent marker while muttering. The words "custom installed" are the only audible words he mutters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now what are ''you'' doing? ''{This is '''still''' rhymed with "boing".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'm just tricking out my fist here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh cool. What's it going to say? 2-E-Z?

''{2-E-Z flashes on the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or, like, NEVA-DIE?

''{NEVA-DIE flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it says this.

''{He shows Homestar. Written on his boxing glove is a mirrored "DELETED" in Gothic text.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, they spelled that backwards. You need to take that thing back right—

''{Strong Bad dives forward and punches Homestar. The screen goes white for a moment. Fade back to Homestar leaning up against a crack in the wall from the impact with his head. He's lost his cap, his eyes are X's, and Strong Bad's fist has left the Gothic "DELETED" imprinted on his forehead. Yellow stars float around his head, and some strange music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dazed}'' Ooohh-oooh. Thank you once again for my pies. I spent particular effort on the Crème Bernard.

''{Cut to Strong Bad back at the Compy. The screen has been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and runs off to the right. After a moment, he pokes his head back on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Talk to my man with the green and white stripes!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the word ''car?'' at the end to see Homestar Runner dazed again.

:''{Cut to a still-dazed Homestar Runner.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dazed}'' It's such a lovely gathering of pies and pie people... Like to give a shout-out to Lemon Pretend over there...

*Click on the word "No!" at the end to see Strong Bad talking to Strong Sad.

:''{Cut to Strong Sad's Room. Strong Sad is reading a copy of'' [[Nerdular Nerdence]] [[Periodicals|magazine]]. ''Enter Strong Bad.}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Gron Sad!

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{He looks up.}'' Why do you keep calling me that?

:'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... change of pace. Anyways, how many emails would it be if you got, like, two jillion emails every two jillion seconds? Like, a lot, or a little?

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Jillion is not a real unit of measure!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever, NERD! ''{Strong Bad leaves, muttering to himself}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' 'S'right! ''{He holds up his hand.}'' Say it again!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*In both this email and [[invisibility]], Homestar was taken by surprise. Homestar beat up Strong Bad in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. However, this cartoon has been said by The Brothers Chaps to show characters doing things they would never do in their current state, Strong Bad's dominance is probably the norm.
*The page in ''Nerdular Nerdence'' that Strong Sad is reading says "electrons, scalene triangles, least ...mon denominators." "Mon" probably indicates the end of "common."
*Homestar's cross eyes were used in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]]. But since it was never finished, technically this is their first appearance.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#ugh-lympics|ugh-lympics]]".
*Strong Bad uses the word "anydangway" in this email as he did in the email [[do over]].

===Remarks===
*If you get two jillion emails every two jillion seconds, then you get an average of one email per second, because any nonzero finite number divided by itself (even made-up numbers like a jillion) is one.
*Strong Sad states that a "jillion is not a real unit of measure." However, Strong Bad uses "a jillion" as a ''number'', not as a [[Wikipedia:Units of measure|unit of measure]].
*Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his [[Left Handedness|left hand]] (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word ''DELETED'' would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
**It also may be more evidence to the fact that Strong Bad could be ambidextrous.
*After Strong Bad punches Homestar, the screen on the Compy is blank, even though Strong Bad never cleared it.
*Even though Strong Bad punches Homestar under the chin, ''DELETED'' appears across Homestar's eyes.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad spins Homestar's "buzzer" counterclockwise, but instead it turns clockwise.
*At the end of the email, the part of the "a> back" is placed over the edge of the Compy's screen.
*In between the red part of Homestar's hat and his head there are two tiny spaces that you can see through.

===Glitches===
*After the ''Nerdular Nerdence'' egg, you can hear the beginning of the Homestar egg just before the scene cuts back to the computer. This is due to the fact that the <code>gotoAndStop()</code> command is being performed later than it should be.
*In Homestar's egg, whenever he blinks (which he should not because he's knocked out) the X's on his eyes and some of his face get distorted and go back again.

===Inside References===
*"A-Digga-Digga-...DELETED!" is a reference to [[unused emails]].
*Homestar referred to his propeller as a "buzzer" in [[Some Puppet Stuff]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVDs.
*Strong Bad writes with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*2-E-Z might be a reference to the commentary from [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], where, in the commentary, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] says that the sports play has an "e" and a "z", spelling E-Z.

'''MATT:''' We're back!

'''MIKE:''' Welcome to email one-oh-one!

'''MATT:''' We're back for another DVD!

'''MIKE:''' This is... uh... email number one-oh-one, Matt.

'''MATT:''' The first one after flashback.

'''MIKE:''' That's right, we took...

'''MATT:''' I think a lot of people didn't think we were gonna keep going.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's true. People speculated that we were gonna stop at a hundred, but we're, um, continuing to drive this little thing we've done into the ground.

''{Matt snickers.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, no, but we did take a couple weeks off after email a hundred, and so this is sorta the return...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh...

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad types "Gron Sad"}'' Gron Sad?

'''MIKE:''' That comes from our, uh...

'''MATT:''' Our niece. 

'''MIKE:''' Niece.

'''MIKE:''' Who used to call...

'''MATT:''' A girl's a niece, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''MATT:''' A niece is a girl.

'''MIKE:''' Because there's that joke about "Denise" and "Denephew."

'''MIKE:''' That's how I remember.

'''MATT:''' Oooooooh.

'''MATT:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I never heard that one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I'll remember that from now on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So our niece, when she was...

'''MATT:''' You know how little kids are dumb and can't talk right? She would say "Gron Sad" instead of "Strong Sad," and she would say "Graw Mad" instead of "Strong Mad."

''{Pause, until Homestar arrives in the email.}''

'''MATT:''' Here comes Homestar Runner. With his ''Cave Man Ugh-lympics'' is the...

'''MIKE:''' It was a good game.

'''MATT:''' It was.

'''MIKE:''' It's like an Olympic-type game where you had, like uh... hair-pulling, where you like had to drag some...

'''MATT:''' ''{amused}'' Where you had to drag a woman by the hair...

'''MIKE:''' Pull her by the hair... ride a dinosaur...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Something with the wheel, probably.

'''MIKE:''' It was good. ''{As Homestar shows off his hydraulic cap}'' This must the only time you really see the underside of Homestar's hat.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, ''{indecipherable}''

'''MIKE:''' ...His hat ever becomes three-dimensional.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Exactly. ''{as Homestar's hat glows}'' One time Mike put ground effects on our coffee table, when we used to live together.

'''MIKE:''' Nice. One of those red rope lights, I just taped it on the underside of it, it was nice.

'''MATT:''' It worked good.

'''MIKE:''' ''{As Strong Bad is about to spin Homestar's propeller}'' Of course...

'''MATT:''' This is the first time ''animated'' Homestar...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I was gonna say...

'''MATT:''' ...Calls his propeller a "buzzer."

'''MIKE:''' Stole that from Puppet Homestar. Night Court, of course, was part of the original Thursday-night lineup. Cosby Show...

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike's "Cosby Show"}'' Cosby Show! Family Ties! Cheers! Night Court! L.A. Law!

'''MIKE:''' Was Night Court nine or nine-thirty?

'''MATT:''' Nine-thirty.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Cheers...

'''MATT:''' Cheers was right after Family Ties.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Good lineup.

''{Pause. In response to "2-E-Z" and "NEVA-DIE":}''

'''MATT:''' I think those are both real things I've seen on people's dashboard windshields, driving around Atlanta.

''{Mike snickers}''

'''MIKE:''' There was one in Athens that was, I see you lookin'... "I C U"... he was pretty popular.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Homestar is dazed, to the sound effects}'' That's just me and Mike...

'''BOTH:''' ''{imitating the sound effect}'' OooOOooOOooOO...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, this was sorta giving in, finally, too, 'cuz this is one he constantly would get, in an email, about "what kinda car do you drive?"

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' I'm hooome!

''{He walks to the Tandy 400 and sits in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's see here. Don't need this anymore.

''{Strong Bad removes the post-it on the screen that says "DORKS!" on it with an angry face with sharp teeth below.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And don't need ''this'' anymore!

''{Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the table and onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' For behold...

''{Strong Bad places the Compy on the desk, as a harp plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The 386. A spectacle of graphics and sound!

''{A tune is played and the "386 Version 1.5" logo appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's get to checking! ''{types "strongbad_email.exe" to bring up the email, which reads:}''

<blockquote class="email">strong bad, 
 
what would you do if you were 
invisable for one day???? 
 
sin studly17</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "invisable" as invis-ABLE, and changes his tone to reflect all the question marks in "day????"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well dumb name, this is something I've often thought about myself. And I came to the conclusion that... ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' I don't really think being visible prevents me from doing whatever I want to do. So I'd probably just do the kinda stuff I normally do.

''{Cut to an invisible Strong Bad stealing boxes of Swiss Cake Rolls from Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' You know, like, steal stuff...

''{Bubs turns around to find the Swiss Cake Rolls boxes floating away.}''

'''BUBS:''' My chocolates! Come back, chocolates! I didn't mean what I said...

''{Cut to Homestar Runner standing in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...punch stuff...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan is ''late''.

''{The boxes of rolls float up to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey, guys!

''{A punching noise is heard and Homestar doubles over. The boxes float off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Owww! Those things are bad for you.

''{Cut to Invisible Strong Bad eating the Swiss Cake Rolls on his couch in front of the TV. Family Feud is on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...eat stuff...and at the same time...watch stuff...

''{The "Family Feud" strike buzzer is heard from the TV.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' Pwa ha ha ha! Survey says, you're an idiot!

''{Strong Mad enters the room and walks in front of where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hey, man. Look, I'm sitting here, I'm just invisible, okay?

''{Strong Mad looks confused and looks around for the source of the voice, while Invisible Strong Bad waves the swiss cake roll around him}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:'''Hey! Brain-for-brains! I'm right here! The floating Swiss Cake Roll is talking to you! Hey, now what the...NONONONO...

''{Strong Mad gets angry, jumps up, and sits on the couch where Invisible Strong Bad is sitting.}''

'''INVISIBLE STRONG BAD:''' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

''{Cut back to the computer with Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! ''{typing}'' Nevermind. Being invisible is not worth a face full of Strong Mad butt. ''{stops typing}'' Ugh. ''{resumes typing}'' I feel like I need to take a shower. I dunno when the last time he washed that singlet was. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways. Remember, kids! Take your vitamins, pretend you're hilarious, and always, ''always'', e-mail Strong Bad.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. The screen eventually fades out and cuts to the Tandy 400 sitting in a trash can.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of it, the screen will fade to the Tandy in the trash. You can click on the contrast buttons to see some funny last words.
**Why, Strong Bad, why?
**Remember the duck pond?
**I thought we were a team.
**Whatever, man. I can make it on my own.
**386? more like three eighty SUCKS!
**Tell the printer I'll miss her.
**Yeah? Well someone on eBay loves me.
**There's flies in me. It tickles.
**My mind is going. I can feel it. [x5]
**Fine, I'm gonna start giving away secrets.
**Have you clicked on the 'O' in Message Bored?
** Justin Bailey ****** ******
**Oh jeez. I think this is really it.
**gasp.
**wheez.
**cough.
**''(blank screen)'' [x2]
**end of line.

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the Compy 386.
*The Compy makes [[The Geddup Noise]] when it is dragged onto the table.
*This is the first time the file to check Strong Bad's email is "strongbad_email.exe".

===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad returns, there is nothing on the screen; when he left, Brothacheese's email was still on the screen. Unless someone has been tampering with the computer, the email should still be there.

===Goofs===
*If you look at the Tandy's screen when it's in the garbage, you'll notice that the crack in the glass isn't there.
*When Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk, a piece of Strong Bad's reflection from the computer screen can be seen on the wall.
*In one frame, as the Tandy is flying off the desk, the contrast dials are completely gone.
*While Invisible Strong Bad is stealing the [[Swiss Cake Rolls]], at one point while he's walking offscreen, the cake rolls suddenly disappear, although he hasn't finished walking out of the camera's view.
*When the Tandy is flying off the desk, the keyboard is not there.
*If you change the contrast on the Tandy before Strong Bad knocks it off, Strong Bad's reflection does not change with it.

===Glitches===
*In addition, in the reflection in Tandy, you'll see that Strong Bad's red mask base is cut just before the edge of the screen, but not the black shape in the front. You'll see it better with the green contrast being set on.
*Strangely, when Strong Bad sits down at the Tandy, we see his reflection but it blocks the little green lines on the screen. In real life this wouldn't happen, nor does it happen in any other email.
*When Strong Bad is answering the email his head moves left and right in the reflection, but his head outside the reflection doesn't move.

===Inside References===
*One of the 'last words' is a hint to click on the 'O' in Message Bored. The "Message Bored" it is referring to is the [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]], an old, official forum that used to be on the site (now, only the banner from the top is still around.) Clicking on the "O" brings you to 3 hidden games.
**The page title of the Message Bored is "Remember What The Tandy Told You", a definite reference to this Easter egg.
*"Remember the duck pond?" is a reference to [[duck pond]].
*Strong Bad says he needs a [[Showering|shower]].

===Real-World References===
*The line "[http://www.palantir.net/2001/sounds.html My mind is going. I can feel it.]" is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:2001: A Space Odyssey|2001: A Space Odyssey'']].
*The line "[[Wikipedia:Metroid#JUSTIN BAILEY|Justin Bailey]] ****** ******" refers to a cheat code for the game ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'', which caused the heroine [[Wikipedia:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]] to be dressed in a skimpier outfit than her normal armored suit when you input it as your continue password. In the correct password, the lower-case letters and asterisks should be replaced by upper-case letters and hyphens, respectively.
*The buzzer sound and the line "Survey Says" is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Family Feud|Family Feud]]''.
*"End of line" is a quote from the Walt Disney movie ''[[Wikipedia:Tron (movie)|Tron]]''. The sinister [[Wikipedia:Master Control Program (Tron)|Master Control Program]] always ended conversations with his minions by saying "[http://161.58.5.90/tron/endline.wav End of line.]"
*[http://www.ebay.com/ eBay] is a popular online auction website, where you can find just about anything for sale.
*The striped white on blue 386 logo seen when the computer is turned on is similar to the striped white on blue [[Wikipedia:IBM|IBM]] logo shown when old IBM computers are turned on.

===Fast Forward===
*This email is later mentioned in [[personal favorites]].
*The phrase "I can make it on my own" is used as the motto of [[Li'l Brudder]].
*The Tandy comes back from the dead in [[ghosts]].
*The Tandy appears again in [[retirement]].

== DVD Version ==
*Unlike the email version, you have to click on a hidden Strong Bad head icon to access the Tandy 400's last words, as opposed to just waiting.
**As well, there are minor differences in the egg. The egg is now a video, with sound effects of the flies buzzing, blips when the Tandy changes text, and inability to cycle through the text manually. When the Tandy says "My mind is going, I can feel it," it flashes on the screen a few times before switching over to the next block of text. As well, when "End of Line" appears, the text slowly fades away into nothingness.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's returning from vacation, Mike! This is the first break we really took after we'd started doing the Strong Bad Emails every week, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm. Couple weeks.

'''MATT:''' Where'd ''you'' go on your vacation?

'''MIKE:''' I went to Bald Head Island in North Carolina.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm. The beach.

'''MATT:''' I guess I went to Marco Island, Florida, I would assume. ''{pause}'' So, here comes the 386! Just—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, new computer! Uh, he hasn't updated since then.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Should we do that?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe someday. I've thought about giving him a laptop named Lappy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That sounds pretty good.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe we'll do that someday.

'''MATT:''' The [[Lappy 486]]?

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' I like that song Bubs is singing to himself. I love how personified the Swiss Cake Rolls are.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, no one, no one seems to have a problem with the floating Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It's like, so common.

'''MATT:''' Bubs had been in some kind of domestic dispute with them earlier. Homestar was... y'know, maybe going to meet them up at the club later. I like the, like, butt, the sweaty butt imprint that Strong Bad's leaving on the couch there. Here comes Graw Mad! Look out! He doesn't know what's going on! Uh-oh, Strong Bad! Ohhh, man.

'''MIKE:''' So did that really happen?

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' All of that stuff?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' That was all, I think—

'''MIKE:''' Like a dream sequence?

'''MATT:''' We draw—there's a fine line. Sometimes, it's really happening, and sometimes it's just hypothetical.

'''MIKE:''' I think that one was hypothetical.

'''MATT:''' I think we leave the best—the more gray we leave it, the better. Thanks everyone.

=== Fun Facts ===
*This commentary serves as very effective foreshadowing to the emails [[virus]] and [[animal]] (which had not been made at the time the commentary was recorded), since the [[Lappy 486]] has indeed replaced the Compy.
*Matt calling Strong Mad "Graw Mad" is probably a reference to [[the facts]] (though the email may not have been made at the time of the commentary recording).
*The Brothers Chaps visited [[Wikipedia:Bald Head Island, North Carolina|Bald Head Island]] and [[Wikipedia:Marco Island, Florida|Marco Island]], two small towns on the East Coast of the United States.

The Ugly One

Takashiru517 — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 19:07:17 GMT

Takashiru517: /* Biography */

[[Image:tgs-uglyone.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Bad glasses, nice dress, suspect hygiene]]
[[Image:Kiddie_Ugly_One.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Boy or girl? We'll never tell.]]
[[Image:The ugly one_color.png|thumb|right|150px|Ugly, and colorized!]]
[[Image:Modestly hot the ugly one.png|thumb|right|200px|The hotgly one!]]
==Biography==
'''The Ugly One''' (with the [[Integral Article|integral article]] "the") is the ugly-looking member of the [[Teen Girl Squad]] whose "real" name is either Virginia, Joy, Jennifer, or The. In the eleventh issue, Cheerleader refers to her (affectionately, one assumes) as "Uggs". Despite her [[Wikipedia:ugliness|ugliness]], suspect [[Wikipedia:hygiene|hygiene]] and [[Wikipedia:psoriasis|psoriasis]], she seems to be better-liked within the Squad than [[What's Her Face]].

The Ugly One is portrayed as a mindless follower of Cheerleader, and appears both dimmer and slightly more eccentric than the other girls (one of her introductory lines describes her as being "actually crazy"). She is readily included in the Squad's [[Cheerleader]]-led activities, such as shopping, spring break vacation, and jumping into a [[Lions|lion]]'s mouth.

She is fond of the popular yogurt topping [[Wikipedia:Sprinkles|jimmies]] and has a crush on every boy. Despite the strength of her crushes, she has difficulty acting on them; in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]] she stuck her head in the [[Wikipedia:sand|sand]] rather than converse with the [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Olda Boys|olda boys]].

As with the rest of the Squad, The Ugly One has suffered a variety of horrible fates. She has been ARROWED, swooped, MSG'd, TWO'd, and YOU'RE NOT'd. She has also endured two "triple attacks" : in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], she was FLOOR TOMMED, STEP-MOMMED, and POM-POMMED?, and in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9]] she was first hit by a tree branch, then the entire tree, and then the tree spontaneously combusted.

To date, she's also the only one of the girls with a known biological parent: [[Manolios Ugly One]].

===Remarks===

*She also appears in the [[404'd]] page, where she feels the pain of the Internet browser.
*She slapped [[The King of Town]] in the email "[[virus]]" about nine times or so.

===Pre-K Version===
In Pre-K, there is some confusion over whether she was a boy or girl.

===New Hotness===
For her Sweet Someteen birthday bash in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], The Ugly One received a massive makeover, which caused [[Strong Bad]] to (a) exclaim "Whoa! Did ''I'' draw that new hotness?", (b) "save" her from [[Arrow'd Guy]], (c) insert himself into the issue as a well-muscled construction worker so that he could [[Making Out|make out]] with her, and (d) actually make out with the piece of paper that contained her cartoon. [[The Brothers Chaps]]' nickname for The Ugly One after her makeover is The "[[Sketchbook 2005|Hotgly One]]". Unfortunately for her, The Ugly One's makeover lasted only one issue.
