=== Transcript ===

''{A 3D rendered Strong Bad enters the computer room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' ...and all the ladies say ''{high-pitched voice}'' "Strong Bad is on point!"

''{Strong Bad throws the lightswitch and a lightswitch rave starts up with [[The System Is Down (song)|The System is Down]]}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! ''{shuts off switch}'' Wrong switch. ''{starts walking toward the Tandy 400}'' Oh, ''{smacks lips}'' my mouth tastes like...DVDs.

''{The Cheat walks up to Strong Bad, singing to himself, and we can see Strong Sad peering in from the other room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat.

''{Strong Bad kicks The Cheat into Strong Sad}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' GAAAHHH!

'''STRONG SAD:''' DOUGLAS!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, who starts to sit down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yes! And the foul! The Paper, show these morons what to do.

''{The Paper comes down with the menu selections. About 30 seconds later, Strong Bad turns to the camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, The Paper, I think you're gonna have to spell it out better for these simpletons. Apparently, they're not quite grasping it.

''{Another Paper comes up from the bottom of the screen reading "Make your selection and mash GO, moron!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Bottom-feeding paper! There's something you don't see every day! ''{turns back to his computer}''

''{Again in 3D, the camera flies through the Rec Room past Strong Mad on the couch and The Cheat in the crisper drawer, both watching TV, on its way to the Trogdor arcade machine, on which the bonus menu is displayed.}''

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

'''STRONG MAD:''' Did you just say bonus stuff?

''{After a 30 second pause, the camera pulls back to reveal Strong Bad has walked up to the machine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, choosey, time's up, I'm playing Trogdor. ''{He plays.}'' Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishing. ''{He dies an in-game death.}'' Aw, man! ''{It's over screen shows up}'' What? What's wrong with this stupid game? ''{He pounds the machine. The camera then swings back to the menu.}''

[[Image:Sbcg4ap105 235x225.png|125px|left]][[Image:8-Bit is Enough Logo.png|125px|left]]
'''8-Bit is Enough''' is the fifth and final Episode of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], Season One. Written by Chuck Jordan, Mike Stemmle, Mark Darin and [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Rated E10+ for [[alcohol]] and [[tobacco]] reference, comic mischief, mild cartoon violence, and mild suggestive themes by the ESRB.

When Strong <strike>Bad's</strike> [[Blatant Lies|Sad's]] botched-up stunt damages the [[TROGDOR!|Trogdor Arcade Machine]], [[Trogdor]] makes his debut, doing what he does best: burninating the countryside! What's more, other 8-bit games are leaking into the real world, throwing [[Free Country, USA]] into chaos! Only [[Strong Bad|High Lord Awesome]] can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace, once and for all! Only question is: anybody know how to kill a dragon?

A brief trailer for this episode is included in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{Stinkoman pops up from behind the viewer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programmed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.
*A [[Wikipedia:Slush fund|slush fund]] is a reserve of money set aside for illegal or dishonest purposes.
*Strong Bad calls Strong Mad "Red Square", referring to the [[Wikipedia: Red Square|Red Square]] in the [[Wikipedia: Soviet Union|Soviet Union]].

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[Computer Room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.
*In 2010, in celebration of [[Trogday]], the PC version was made available for free for the whole day.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his arms look oddly deformed for some reason.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high", but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans (one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*When Chorch runs into Stinkoman, Stinkoman loses all four of his energy units instead of just one.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.
*When used in the fight against the Ultimate Trogdor, Gel-Arshie claims that he can't be burninated because he's inflammable. However, inflammable actually means the same thing as flammable.
*Homestar remarks that his favorite Olympic hero competed in the "1982 Winter Olympics". There were no Olympics held in 1982, as both the Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same year until 1994. Since the Olympics were held in 1980, the next Olympics weren't until 1984.
*The trophy resembles the [[Atari Dragon]]'s chalice.
*This episode is unusual in that in Extended Play, all the [[main characters]] mysteriously disappear (except of course, for Strong Bad, and The Cheat in the Photo Booth).

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.
*The credits subtitle for Stinkoman says "THE POOPSMITH" for a second before he reaches the vertical center.
*One of the emails will still be marked as unread even after Strong Bad reads it.

===Glitches===
[[Image:SnakeCrateGlitch.png|thumb|Those are some dedicated snakes!]]
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4. This is acknowledged in-game when clicking on the washer; Strong Bad says that Strong Sad is still washing the costumes from Dangeresque 3.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedestal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.
*The crates [[Marzipan]] throws are clickable, and they have the same effect as the crate next to the path. Using the [[Snakes]] on the Marzipan's crate have the same effect, even after it's been destroyed by Snake Boxer. Attacking the snakes with Snake Boxer again will make the EGA hat cutscene play again.

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms. Pac-Man|Ms. Pac-Man]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
**Marzipan also throws crates continuously, similarly how Donkey Kong throws barrels continuously
**Like Donkey Kong, Marzipan has a hostage (in this case, Bubs). Donkey Kong's hostage was Pauline, a precursor to Peach.
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].
*Some of the games depicted on the Awesomeness screen are [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]], and [[Wikipedia:Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]].
*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, as well.
**Strong Bad's annoyance at Homestar's appearances reflects fan criticism of Navi's purpose.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of Hitler.
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machine guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
*The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
**Strong Bad mentions "the one where some real-world kids get sucked into a video game". [[Wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]] was a cartoon on [[Wikipedia:NBC|NBC]] from 1989 to 1991, about real-world teenager Kevin Keane being pulled into a video game world based on several popular NES titles.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.
**When you give John Hancock the item, he says to make sure your family is insured, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Hancock Insurance|John Hancock Insurance]] company.
*Interacting with the mirror in the bathroom will make Strong Bad reference the [[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary legend]].
*The Gel-Arshie portion of the game is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cool Spot|Cool Spot]], a 1993 product placement game for 7-Up that featured its red mascot on a surf board.
*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.
*Strong Bad's remark about the peasants starting a commune is a reference to [[Monty Python|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']], specifically the scene in which Dennis explains that he and his fellow peasants are an [[wikipedia:Anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] commune.
*When Strong Mad is in Halfathlon, he will exclaim "[[Wikipedia:Glasnost|GLASNOST]]! [[Wikipedia:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|SOLZHENITSYN]]!"
**When Strong Bad responds, his pronunciation of "Puttin'" likely refers to [[Russia|Russian]] prime minister and former president, [[Wikipedia:Vladamir Putin|Vladamir Putin]].
**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]], while "Lysenko" is a reference to [[wikipedia: Tatyana Lysenko|Tatyana Lysenko]], a female hammer thrower.
*When Strong Bad gives the trophy to Strong Mad, he says "ich bin ein [[donut]]". This is a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]. Furthermore, it is a play on the urban legend that the [[German]] phrase means "I am a jelly donut."
*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.
*When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in [[Mortal Kombat]].
*When Strong Bad finally uses the performing bear, he shouts "I choose you." This is a reference to [[Pokémon]].
*In the game's music files, Halfathlon is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Summer Games|Summer Games]].
*"The Videlectrix Halfathlon" title mimics the similarly named The Activision Decathlon.
*The box art for Mista Fixit is modeled after the "album cover" boxes of early [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]], complete with an incorporation of the company's logo into the artwork. In particular, the box art is likely spoofing the 1983 EA game [[Wikipedia:Hard Hat Mack|Hard Hat Mack]], whose box art showed a construction worker hanging onto a girder; the Mista Fixit box shows a fallen worker.
*The Mista Fixit game and character may be a reference to the online building game [[Wikipedia:Roblox|Roblox]], as he wears a hard hat and asks Strong Bad if he wants to build something.
*Revealing the ghosts with the camera is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Fatal Frame|Fatal Frame]] series of games, where you also reveal and defeat ghosts in a similar fashion.
*The Videlectrix Power magazine is a reference to the real-world [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] magazine.
*The music and the jump celebration by Strong Bad after defeating Ultimate Trogdor may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy Series]].
*The scene where Strong Bad wakes up and tells everybody they were in his dream is a parody of the ending scene from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad a "dumpla-lumpa" references the Oompa Loompas, the little men that work for Willy Wonka in [[Wikipedia:Charlie and the Choclate Factory|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]].
*When trying to use the Lappy during the Redcoat Ghost Patrol minigame, Strong Bad declines, saying that he "might get sucked into the screen or something". This is a possible reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]]''.
*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "[[Wikipedia:When a Stranger Calls (1979 film)|When a Stranger Calls]]".
*When Strong Sad walks off with Rather Dashing, he remarks, "I think is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", which is the last line of the film [[Wikipedia:Casablanca (film)|Casablanca]].
*When Strong Bad says, "It's starting to knock the husk out of my naturally husky head", this is a reference to [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]] when Frieda says, "It's taking the curl out of my naturally curly hair!"
*One of the Drive-Thru Whale responses, saying that their "fatty melts come scattered, smothered, covered, and humiliated," includes hash brown styles from [[Wikipedia:Waffle House|Waffle House]] (also seen in [[Main Page 5]]).
*Strong Bad calling Homestar a "Pinball Wizard" is a reference to [[The Who]]'s song [[Wikipedia:Pinball Wizard|Pinball Wizard]].
*When Strong Bad looks at the commode, he mentions the abyss staring back at him, a reference to a quote from [[Wikipedia: Friedrich Nietszche|Friedrich Nietzsche]]'s [[Wikipedia:Beyond Good and Evil|Beyond Good and Evil]]: "When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

* The line "A winner is you" said by Coach Z is a reference to an infamous line from the NES game [[Wikipedia: Pro Wrestling (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Pro Wrestling]].

From your Buddy, 
Shana Ma. 
Los Angeles, CA</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads "Shana Ma." as one word (Shanama). He also pronounces "Los Angeles" with a hard "g".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, Shanama, the story of the colonization of Strong Badia is a tale as old as, say, the wireless Web ''{pause}'' or energy drinks maybe. It began in a period of strife...

''{Cut to a shot of an old book on a wooden table. It is open and pictures Strong Bad, in a pilgrim hat, squirting ketchup onto a plate of eggs, next to Strong Sad in a wig and typical 17th-century clothing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...when I was being persecuted for my beliefs.

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Ewwww! Ketchup on eggs?!?

''{A caption reading "Ewwww! Ketchup on Eggs?!?" appears beneath the picture. The page turns to show Strong Bad reading the newspaper and seeing an ad saying "LOT FOR SALE! along with a page saying "Homestar declares eggs not a fruit."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I learned of a place where a man can be free. Free to do what he wants to do. Free to ketchup his eggs without being hassled by the man.

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad and The Cheat, also wearing a pilgrim hat, traveling across Free Country, USA, Strong Bad carrying a musket and eating a sandwich and The Cheat dragging a bag along behind him. A caption along the bottom reads "The Three Stout Sub Sandwiches: The Ham 'n' Swiss, The Dijon Chicken and the Veggie Delux."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I set sail with three stout sub sandwiches, and my best The Cheat to find this mystical land.

''{The page turns to show the two of them meeting Bubs, who is waving at them, wearing a Sioux-style feather headband and wearing a loincloth.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I met a strange man who had strange ways and strange odors.

''{The page turns to show Strong Badia in front of a glorious sunrise, above a caption reading "The Neu Wirlde."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' And he led me to the new world, out beyond the dumpsters.

''{The page turns to show the Tire falling onto The Cheat, whose hat is sent flying from his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' There was a brief struggle with the indigenous peoples.

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad handing Bubs the rent check.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' At last, we reached an agreement to peacefully co-exist in this land, after I gave him my first and last months' rent deposit.

''{The page turns to show a ploughed field where Bubs is planting a fish. Strong Bad is looking at him, holding a fish and a corn cob in his hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Then the strange man probably showed me how to put fish in the ground with corn, for some reason.

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes!

''{A caption reading "This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes" appears at the bottom of the page. The page turns to show Bubs, The Cheat and Strong Bad sitting at a picnic table in Strong Badia, feasting on fast food.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Then we celebrated with a feast of some cold Hardee's he had laying around.

''{Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' So there you have it, Shana... Shanamana... ''{singing}'' Shanamanamanamanamana tonight! That shoulda been in your history books at school. I gotta get on those people over at Hoofton Mifflin. Those guys are slackin off. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so until next week, leave me alone!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After the email is over, click the first part of the word Shanamanamanamanana and Strong Bad will "Shanama" into some songs.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing to the tune of "[[Wikipedia:O Canada|O Canada]]," though missing the final note}'' O Shanama... Do do doot doot doot doo... ''{stops singing}'' What else is there? Shana... Shanamatopoeia. Ooh, how 'bout this? ''{singing to the tune of "Panama" by [[Van Halen]]}'' Shanama! Shanama ho ho ho huh ho!
[[File:Colonization Egg.png|thumb|"That's just too much of a stretch."]]
*Also at the end, Click on the words "history books" to hear Homestar Runner address the imaginary masses.
:''{Cut to a page in a history book with a drawing of Homestar, dressed in Colonial American attire (with powdered wig), with text below it reading "Homestar Runner addresses the imaginary masses." There is cheering.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-hem. From this day forward, I hereby declare eggs... not to be... a fruit!
:''{More cheering.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, yes, quiet down. And furthermore, no longer shall dirty diapers be accepted as legal tender!
:''{More cheering.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hang on, I got one more. Henceforth, those named Henry will no longer be allowed to call themselves Hank. That's just too much of a stretch.
:''{More cheering. Homestar smiles.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Shanamatopoeia" is a play on the literary term "[[onomatopoeia]]", defined as a word that sounds like what it represents, such as "sizzle", "pop", or even "[[preeeeow]]".
*The Native Americans taught the Pilgrims that planting fish with corn would help fertilize the soil.

===Remarks===
*According to the later e-mail [[monument]], the [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] make up a monument of Strong Bad's right foot. However, they are shown in this e-mail as being part of the area when Strong Bad bought it from Bubs.
*We learn in this e-mail that Bubs owns Strong Badia (which is located behind the dumpsters), and Strong Bad just rents it from him. This fact may explain why Strong Bad said "Maybe get a little place in Strong Badia" in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
**Despite this, it says in the [[Periodicals|Bubsifieds]] that there is a lot for sale.

===Inside References===
*The background music during Strong Bad telling the history of Strong Badia is an expanded version of the background music in the beginning of [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].
*The crowd cheers in the second Easter egg are from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Strong Badia was originally established as being "out behind the Dumpsters" in [[i rule]].
*One of the subs Strong Bad ate while traveling to Strong Badia was titled "The [[French|Dijon]] [[Chicken]]"

===Real-World References===
*The entire story is based on the historical accounts of the [[Wikipedia:Pilgrims|Pilgrims]] founding the [[Wikipedia:Plymouth Colony|Plymouth Colony]], after they were persecuted for their religious beliefs in [[Wikipedia:England|England]]. Bubs's Native American character is probably based on [[Wikipedia: Squanto|Tisquantum]], better known as Squanto, who, among other things, taught the Pilgrims to fertilize their crops (see below).
**Although the story is mainly based upon the Pilgrims, the "Three Stout Sub Sandwiches" most likely reference the [[Wikipedia:Niña|Niña]], the [[Wikipedia:Pinta|Pinta]], and the [[Wikipedia:Santa María (ship)|Santa María]], the three ships used by [[Wikipedia:Christopher Columbus|Christopher Columbus]] to travel across the Atlantic Ocean and discover the New World.
*Homestar declaring [[eggs]] not to be a fruit may be a reference to the famous 1893 Supreme Court decision ([[Wikipedia: Nix v. Hedden|Nix v. Hedden]]) that [[Wikipedia:Tomato#Fruit_or_vegetable.3F|tomatoes were not fruit]].
*Bubs planting fish-corn bushes is a reference to when the Native Americans showed the Pilgrims how to grow corn (they used fish heads as fertilizer).
*"Hoofton Mifflin" is a misspelling (and mispronunciation) of scholastic publisher [[Wikipedia:Houghton Mifflin|Houghton Mifflin]].
**Houghton Mifflin is correctly pronounced HOE-ton MIF-lin.
*[[Wikipedia:Hardee%27s|Hardee's]] is a fast-food chain primarily [http://cke.know-where.com/hardees/ located] in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States.
*Strong Bad saying "Free to do what he wants to do. Free to ketchup his eggs without being hassled by the man." is a reference to the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0061189|The Wild Angels]]'', in which Peter Fonda says "We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man!".

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
''{Strong Bad is at the Compé, this time with a ''Where's An Egg? II'' wallpaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, people can you feel me? Then e-mail me. And also, please don't try to really feel me. ''{double-clicks on the sbemail.exe icon}''

{{compeemail}}
Dear Strong Bad, 
You are the superest, awesomest guy ever. That 
makes you sawesome. Do you have a Strong Badian 
dictionary fo your own words? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Costrick
{{compeemailend}}
''{Strong Bad pronounces "fo your" as "fo yo". He hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Course I do Cross-stitch. ''{rapping}'' You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a ''{he does not type the word "a"}'' daily basis? Those dictionaries are only good for helping ''{cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth}'' The Cheat brush his teeth ''{cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right}'' and helping Homestar lose his teeth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

''{Strong Bad throws the dictionary at Homestar's head}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Tooth! ''{a giant tooth flies out of Homestar's mouth and lands on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, ''{cut to a close up of the book}'' ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!''

''{Strong Bad puts a [[sticky note]] on the book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Or ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth'', for short.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert ''{cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; romantic music is playing in the background}'' at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, that looks sinfully—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Shut up, shut up, lady! ''{Strong Bad walks up to the table}'' The sauce makes the pages stick together—

''{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' which makes for way less words!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!

''{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that brings us to the Suffix section. ''{each "suffix" is highlighted in turn}'' -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!

''{Cut to a sample from the book with romantic music playing}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{smoothly}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.

''{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many flashing colored lines, disco music playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that's'' talking like a Strong Bad dude!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you gonna define a word like ''{cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's}'' paunch, without smelling ''{Strong Bad puts a sticker with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!!"}'' Strong Sad's considerable paunch!

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad hits his body with both of his fists to punctuate the last two words}''

''{Cut to all the main characters, including Strong Sad, gathered on The Stage}''

'''ALL:''' Yes it does!

''{Crowd claps and the curtain closes}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it ''{Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa 19" and "Kneepads 25". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterances" is revealed, followed by a 0, accompanied by a buzzer}'' gutterances ''{cut back to the Compé}'' that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people.

''{Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{a tattered piece of paper with a symbol (a P with an umlaut and a sideways f attached to it) and name for "pffgh!" comes down}'' for Coach Z. ''{the piece of paper goes back up}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the fierld?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" ''{a tattered piece of paper with a symbol (an upside-down A with a circumflex below it and a dot on either side) and name for "aungh!" comes down}'' sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the scenery changes to a fenced area, with Marzipan holding Carol and standing in front of a microphone}'' for Marzipan. ''{the piece of paper goes back up}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{amplified}'' Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{the scene shifts again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch, and a piece of paper with a symbol (a g that rotates in place between braces) and name for "graaaauuuughnck!" comes down}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who. ''{the piece of paper goes back up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!! ''{twirls the football once more}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop.

''{Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. ''{quickly}'' Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. ''{normally}'' Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if ''someone'' can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do? ''{stops typing, looks at the bottom-left corner of the screen}'' Give him the goods, Compé...-per.

''{Strong Bad gets up, making [[The Geddup Noise]], and the [[Compé-per]] appears. Crossfades to a dictionary page entitled "Today's Entries".}''

==Easter Eggs==
* Clicking on "Cross-Stitch" at the beginning brings up a [[needlepoint]] picture of Strong Bad.
* Clicking the V in the school play scene brings up a [[Playbill]] advertising "Yes it does".
{{playbill|YES IT DOES!|A picture of Strong Sad's stomach|A One-Line Mr. Holland's Opus from the peeps that had that one time kinda said 'SBEMAIL!'}}
* At the end, click "Boodroscotch" to see some boodroscotch fall on the word. Click it again to see it disappear.
[[File:Dictionary Egg.png|thumb|"Can you redirect me to the nearest Puke-valanche?"]]
* At the end, click "raspberry sauce" to see a scene of Homsar in Strong Badia.
:'''HOMSAR:''' ''{holding the book titled "Learn to Speak Strong Badian"; his hat floats off while he speaks}'' GrRrRraaauuughnck there, Rubbermaid, can you redirect me to the nearest Puke-valanche?
:''{The Tire bounces away.}''
* At the end, click "hwimswelf" to see a scene of Homestar in the movie theater.
:'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{wearing his viking helmet}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucks-forest fire.
*Click on the Sawesome Jack sticker to see an extension of the Family Feud scene.
:''{"[[Onion Bubs]]" is added to the "Family Feud" display from before for 51 points. Music plays and the audience cheers, with one voice hysterically screaming "Onion Bubs!" repeatedly.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Today's Entries===
* '''boodroscotch ''n.''''' — a sweet, boodro-based sauce that that doubles as a kudrow-based adhesive.
* '''dribble-drabble ''v.''''' — the act of making frozen cheescake appear delicious by scribbling raspberry sauce over it.
* '''gutterances ''n.''''' — low growly noises made to express utter disdain at another person's very existence.
* '''hwimswelf ''n.''''' — The Cheat's carpet & couch and satin sheets ruining owndangself.
* '''sawesome ''adj.''''' — not unlike having the qualities of an awesome sauce.
* '''zawesome ''adj.''''' — see crap-for-brains.

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:quotient|quotient]] is the result of a [[wikipedia:division (mathematics)|division]] operation.
*[[Wiktionary: frou-frou|Frou frou]] (usually spelled with a dash) means fancy. [[Wiktionary:Chichi|Chichi]] means trendy or chic. Both words are derived from [[French]].
*A [[schwa]], written as ə, is an unstressed, toneless vowel present in several languages, including English.

===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Sbemail - Dictionary|RSS description]] of this toon is:
<blockquote>'''Strong Bad says''' - Like two sides of an extremely rare, valuable, and attractive coin, there's Strong Bad the grammar policeman on one hand, and Strong Bad the guy that makes up a buncha crap all the time on t'other. And nothing fuses the two together like a made-up dictionary. Count Longardeaux from [[HR:sbemail134.html|sbemail 134: record book]] makes his first appearance in 70 sbemails!</blockquote>
*The natural disaster suffixes Strong Bad mentioned are for "avalanche", "earthquake", "tornado", and "monsoon". Homestar adds "forest fire" as another natural disaster suffix in one of the Easter eggs.
*The page to which Strong Bad adds the paunch scratch-and-sniff sticker reads:
<blockquote><big>P</big> 
paunch ''(paw-nch) n.'' 
:umm...er... 
 
pukernado ''(pyook-er-nay-doh) n.'' 
:a cyclonic upchucking 
 
pukevalanche ''(pyook-vuh-lanch) n.'' 
:a lot, lot, lot of the puke</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad himself can be seen behind Pom Pom when the main characters protest that Strong Sad's "paunch smells." His body is even moving, indicating that he is saying "Yes it does."
*When Homestar flips from "crap-for-brains" to "carp-for-brains", he flips from the index of "P" words to the index of "C" words, even though both words start with "C". He then looks up "brain-for-brains" in the index of "P" words. This is similar to Strong Sad's complaint that the dictionary goes "straight from crapvalanche to pukevalanche", where is he flips the dictionary back and forth from the index of "C" words to "P" words.
*There is a double-space between "little" and "boodroscotch", and between "droppin'" and "on".
*Although the suffix "-rnado" is shown, the narrator and Homestar use it without the "r" when they say "wastenado."
*The suffix "-onsoon" (hinting at [[Wikipedia:Monsoon|monsoon]]) does not fit in the list because monsoon is actually not considered to be a natural disaster.
*Coach Z's body (from his [[Coach Z Evolution|sixth design]]) is hidden in the Flash File.
*Predictably, two of the "sound" words included in Strong Bad's dictionary have [[Multiple Consonants|several consonants]].
*The book Homsar holds while speaking to the Tire looks nothing like the dictionary seen throughout the email.
*When hit with the dictionary, Homestar's tooth comes from behind his mouth.

===Goofs===
[[File:glovegoof.png|thumb|right|All the great arm goofs are included!]]
*Strong Bad doesn't type the "a" in "droppin' on ''a'' daily basis."
*In the definition for "boodroscotch", the word "that" is repeated.
*The Back button leads to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], instead of the [[Strong Bad Email menu]].
*When Strong Bad puts his left hand on his dictionary, his left arm and hand is down, but a boxing glove can be seen held up. Also, when his left hand is on the dictionary, a small area of his left hand (on his left arm) can be seen.
*In the definition for "dribble-drabble", the third "e" in "cheesecake" is missing.
*Just before Strong Bad types "Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound", a small section of the "N" in "Not" is visible.

===Inside References===

*One of the dictionaries The Cheat is seen standing on is labeled "Thick n' Nasty DICTIONARY", a reference to the Thick n' Nasty burger seen in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Jhonka! What a coincidence! I was just on my way out the door to go to the annual Strong Sad Lookalike Contest where contestants are judged on appearance, impression and penmanship. I'm a shoo-in this year, man. Wait'll you see my costume.

''{He runs offscreen, but runs back a few seconds later to say:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not beatin' around the bush this week.

''{Strong Bad runs off again. Cut to The Field. Coach Z is standing under a sign that reads: "2003 Sectional Finals — STRONG SAD LOOKALIKE CONTEST".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, I'd like to welcome everybody back! Hope you enjoyed your intermission there. Bubs, the hot cold cuts was great!

'''BUBS:''' ''{off screen}'' Those were moist towelettes!

'''COACH Z:''' So without further ado, I'd like to introduce the man of the hour, the deathly pallor: Strong Sad!!

''{Strong Sad joins Coach Z under the sign}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{off screen}'' Booo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Thank you! Thank you! I'm simultaneously honored and insulted to be involved in this contest for the fourth year in a row.

'''COACH Z:''' That's enough there, Strong Sad! ''{He shoves Strong Sad out of the way.}'' Your work is done here. Let's get this pratty started!!

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad in a Strong Sad costume, which consists of a grey "Phys Ed" sweatshirt, a white beret, and a paper plate with Strong Sad's face drawn on it. There's a suspicious looking lump under the sweatshirt.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Lookin' good there, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

'''COACH Z:''' Nice use of light and shadow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

'''COACH Z:''' ...and picnic supplies.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know. Shut up.

'''COACH Z:''' Let's hear what you got.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Let me just push play on my "sweatshirt" here.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{on a tape}'' Why do you want me to say "Hello, my name is Strong Sad"? ''{He fast-forwards the tape}'' Get that tape-recorder out of my face! ''{more fast-forwarding}'' Stop flickin' my ear!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{also on tape}'' More like, You stop flickin' ''my ear''!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He stops the tape.}'' Ha ha. Oops.

'''COACH Z:''' Ok, then. Very unsuspicious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know.

''{Coach Z moves on to Homestar Runner. Homestar is wearing hippo slippers and a grey shirt with a star on it, and he has a sock taped to his head instead of his signature hat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, there, Homestar. Nice hippo slippers.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks. They're elephants.

'''COACH Z:''' Sure they are! Now let's hear your impression.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... Remind me again what type stuff that guy says.

'''COACH Z:''' You know. Depressing-type stuff!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right! Here goes! Ahem. ''{in a depressing voice}'' Oh... Some animal died. ''{In his normal voice}'' That's something he's always saying, right?

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, I think I heard him say that a few times. Next contestant!

''{The next contestant appears to be Strong Sad.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Strong Sad, you're not eligible for this contest! I thought I told youse to go on home!

''{A familiar-looking hat pops up from behind the Strong Sad lookalike's head revealing that he is, in fact, Homsar. His Strong Sad costume is flawless, except the mouth becomes bigger when Homsar talks. Coach Z (already walking away) doesn't realize who it is.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' ''{sadly}'' AaAaAaAa... I'm cryin' on the inside!

''{The Cheat hops up in a paper bag, painted to look like Strong Sad's left leg.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, The Chort, lay it on me!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{depressed The Cheat noises)''

'''COACH Z:''' Holy crap! It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today! First Prize!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noise}'' ''{Jumps up out of the bag, then lands back inside bag}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer. Strong Bad walks up muttering. He's still in costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid friggin' Cheat-in-a-Bag. ''{typing}'' I can't believe The Cheat won sectionals for the 4th year in a row dressed up as Strong Sad's left leg. I knew I should have gone for the bigger butt. ''{stops typing}'' Oh well. ''{resumes typing}'' At least I won the penmanship award. But I should get going if I'm still going to be fashionably late to the afterparty. ''{stops typing}'' So, until next time, all the ladies and dudes say: ''{singing}'' "Strong Bad is a cool guy! And we're not cool in the least!"

''{Strong Bad leaves and [[The Paper]] descends.}''

The Jhonka are one of many 
tribes of primitive, troll-like 
creatures found in the lowlands

"Gimme five. Up high. Down

*Click on "afterparty" at the end to see what happened at the afterparty.
:''{Homestar and Coach Z are standing in a room filled with balloons. Homestar is dressed in his Strong Sad costume, "[[Poot-Slap]]" is playing in the background, and Coach Z is holding a [[Cold One|Not So Cold One]].}''
:'''COACH Z:''' I meant to tell you the sock on the head was a nice touch.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have a sock on my head? ''{shaking back and forth}'' Getitoff getitoff getitoff getitoff getitoff getitoff ''{stops shaking}'' getitoff getitoff.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The "not beating around the bush" comment may refer to Strong Bad's normal way of [[Emails Taken in a Different Direction|not really answering an email's question]]. Alternatively, it may mean that there is no delay between his remark and his answer.
*Pallor means paleness.
*The "cheap gag" mentioned in the Jhonka Easter Egg involves the perpetrator giving the receiver a [[Wikipedia:high five|high five]] ("Up high"), then pretending to offer a low-five ("down low"), but pulling their hand away before the other person can slap it ("too slow").

===Trivia===
*This toon has the ending Easter egg embedded in the beginning of the Flash file, instead of it being at the end as usual.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad on the tape tells Strong Bad to stop flicking his ear, but Strong Sad doesn't have [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Ears|visible ears]].
*The Cheat's costume has three toenails, whereas Strong Sad's [[soolnds]] only have two toenails each.
*In this email, Strong Bad shows excellent touch-typing skills as he finishes the email with a paper plate mask taped to his face. However, he seems to later lose this ability. In [[pom pom]], Strong Bad is unable to type while blindfolded.
*Strong Sad actually saying "Oh...some animal died" was made the [[Quote of the Week#QW-2003-08-25|Quote of the Week]] the same day this email appeared on the site.
*Both wooden columns supporting the banner have the staples and torn pieces of paper in the exact same spots.
*Coach Z says "adieu" instead of "ado"; this is a rather common mistake, and probably all the more probable with Coach Z being the speaker.
*Strong Bad's line "Stupid Friggin' Cheat-in-a-Bag..." is a rare instance of using The Cheat's name without the [[integral article]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad comes back to the computer after the contest, still wearing his costume, his hat is incorrectly mirrored in the screen's reflection.
*The form for the penmanship contest says 2004 Sectional Finals; however, the sign for the contest said 2003.
*Homestar's eyes reverse direction quickly before he slouches to do his Strong Sad impression.
*Strong Sad doesn't move his mouth to his "whoa!" when he is pushed. Instead, his mouth switches direction.

===Glitches===
*If you click on the "Bigger Butt" Easter egg while [[The Paper]] is coming down, it will disappear as it is zooming in.

===Inside References===
*At the after party Coach Z is drinking a "[[Cold One|Not So Cold One]]," from [[property of ones]].
*Strong Bad's comeback "More like, YOU stop flicking MY ear," is very similar to his comeback in [[50 emails]].
*The hat Strong Bad wears is similar to the hat Strong Sad originally wore in his original sketches seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]].
*Coach Z's praise of The Cheat's costume ("It's as if Strong Sad was still alive and with us today!") is another instance of [[Death#Strong Sad|Strong Sad's imagined death]].
*The blue ribbon in the penmanship Easter egg is the same as the ribbons from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*The King of Town [[The King of Town Booing|boos]] Strong Sad.
*The Cheat dresses as Strong Sad's [[Severed Body Parts|leg]].

===Real-World References===
*The picture of Jhonka is reminiscent of the various humanoid creatures in [[Wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]].
**In previous versions of Dungeons and Dragons, an armor class of +2 would be a decent defense rating. However, in the current incarnation of Dungeons and Dragons it would make the creature very easy to hit in combat. The article's tone seems to indicate that it was written for 2nd edition AD&D.
*In the bigger butt Easter egg, Strong Bad drew the [[Wikipedia:Kangol|Kangol]] kangaroo above his cap. Kangol is a British clothier famous for this kind of hat.

===Fast Forward===
*The Jhonka plays a prominent role in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar also uses, "Oh... Some animal died" in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]].
*[[The Deathly Pallor]] is the name of Strong Sad's radio persona in [[radio]]. It is also used in the email [[trading cards]].
*The King of Town again demonstrates [[The King of Town Booing|his low, one-man "boooo"]] in [[geddup noise]] after showing "The Standing Up Noise".

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies and gentlemen. I give you...a-da sbe-mail. ''{almost puts a lisp on "sbemail". Sounds like "thbpemail"}''

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was wondering if you have ever 
thought of a children's book, 
what it was about, and what kind of 
words did you try to teach the kids. 
 
Your fan, 
Steve Buttz</blockquote>

''{Instead of Buttz, Strong Bad says "Never mind. I'm not even gonna touch that one."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, I wrote a children's book. ''{Strong Bad pronounces book "bük"}'' Who hasn't? I mean, kids can barely read as it is so how hard can it be to write for them? The book I wrote is called

''{cut to the book itself. The name of the original author, [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]], has been crossed out, and Strong Bad's name is in its place. We find this sort of thing throughout the entire book.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Everyone is Different''. So here we go.

''{Strong Bad opens the cover of the book, where we can see that the book's original owner was [[Strong Sad]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Everyone is different. No two people are the same.

''{He turns the page. A picture of a kid riding a red bike is there, with Strong Bad having drawn a big truck behind him. The original text is "Some people have freckles. Frankie has freckles."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people are about to be run over. Frankie has about 5 seconds.

''{He turns the page. There's a picture of a tall African-American kid with a tennis racket, and added drawings of fighters and helicopters shooting at him while he smashes a city. The original text is "Some people are very tall. Quincy is very tall."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people are very tall and merciless. Quincy is destroying San Antonio.

''{He turns the page. There's a picture of a girl with glasses reading a book. The original text is "Some people wears glasses. Beth wears glasses."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people wears glasses. Beth looks like a dude.

''{He turns the page. There's a picture of a kid in a baseball uniform and glove with Strong Bad having scribbled a squirrel on his left hand. The original text is "Some people are left-handed. Gregor is left-handed."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people are squirrel-handed. Gregor is a weird name.

''{He turns the page. There's a picture of a heavyset girl with braces and headgear, and Strong Bad has scribbled on a football jersey and a football field. The original text is "Some people have braces. Some people have headgear. Fran has both."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people have braces. Some people have headgear. Fran could play linebacker for the Raiders.

''{He turns the page. A picture of a red-headed kid on a pogo stick, which Strong Bad has changed to the detonator of a huge amount of TNT planted in an enemy base. A guy is flying out of the base saying "AHH! i'M BEiNG KiLLED!!" The original text is "Some people have red hair. Albert has red hair."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people have rigged the enemy base with explosives. Albert has.

''{He turns the page. There is a girl jumping rope with wavy lines drawn coming from her mouth with the word "HOTNESS." Strong Bad has also drawn himself next to her saying "hiya hotcakes." The original text is "Some people have a Southern accent. Trisha has a Southern accent."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people have a Southern accent, and those are hot. Trisha is a severe hottie.

''{He turns the page. What was once a girl twirling a hula hoop is now a girl being swallowed whole by a huge monster, with an expression of horror drawn over her face, one of her legs disintegrating into bone, and a bag of money in her hand. The original text is "Some people have curly hair. Hillary has curly hair."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Some people are being fangoriously devoured by a gelatinous monster. Hillary's legs are being digested.

''{He turns the page. We have a picture of everyone we saw before, and they're all being burned by fire. The original text is "Everyone is different. No two people are the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Everyone is different. No two people are not on fire. Awwwww.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there's my book ''{pronounced "bük" again}''. Pretty good, eh Steve? And the words that we taught the kids were, uh, fangoriously, gelatinous, and um, ''{mumbling, typed in small text}'' linebacker. ''{normal}'' You know, education at its finest. Well, some people need to go get an ice cream sandwich. Strong Bad needs to go get an ice cream sandwich.

''{Strong Bad stands up and leaves, and then [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

*At the end, click on "eh Steve" to see a page about [[Eh! Steve!]]. Click on it to see a revised edition.

*As each page is turned, you can still see it through the back of the paper on the left (reversed, of course).
*The book lacks page numbers and any publishing information, but it is possible that Strong Bad ripped out the publishers' page (usually the first page of a book, after a title page).

===Real-World References===
*The design of the children's book is based on the old [[Wikipedia:Little Golden Books|Little Golden Books]], right down to the yellow vined border on and near the book's spine.
*There is a book written by Fiona Bleach titled "Everybody is Different", and the cover bears a resemblance to the book in this email.
*Strong Bad uses the term "fangoriously" in the email, probably in reference to the magazine [[Wikipedia:Fangoria (magazine)|Fangoria]], which is dedicated to covering horror films and movie monsters.
*The [[Wikipedia:Oakland Raiders|Raiders]] are [[Wikipedia:Oakland, California|Oakland's]] team in the [[Wikipedia:National Football League|NFL]]. They have won the [[Wikipedia:Super Bowl|Super Bowl]] multiple times.

'''MIKE:''' All right, this is the... commentar— ''{starts laughing}'' Sorry, let's start that over.

'''MATT:''' No, let's get going!

'''MATT:''' Did I draw that one? Basically, that was just Mike making fun of my drawing ''{Mike laughs}'' 'cause I gave that that girl some broad shoulders, and a big chest. I like Strong Bad's depictions of himself, they're always good.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hmm.

'''MATT:''' That gelatinous monster is...

'''MIKE:''' I like how she's dropping money. She's walking around with a bag of money.

'''MATT:''' His "book."

'''MIKE:''' Um... why didn't we have more to say about this one?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. I thought we picked this one because I thought we'd have a wealth of things to say.

'''MIKE:''' I like how the text gets small anytime when Strong Bad mumbles things.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah. The Shift key.

'''MIKE:''' The function key.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' The ''mumble'' key.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, big money! Big money! And...email!

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you ever go over to The King of 
Town's place for dinner? If so, 
what's it like? 
 
Chris 
Ann Arbor, Michigan</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Chris Ann Arbor" as though it is the email sender's whole name, and places the stress on the middle syllable of "Michigan", pronouncing it as mish-EE-gan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(typing)'' Well, Chris Ann, I hate to admit it but uh, yeah, there was this one time when I went over to The King of Town's castle. Seems I placed a bet with one Homestar Runner some Tuesday night.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner in the field at night.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me get this uh-straight: You're betting me that you're cool.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep, I'm cool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if you're not cool, you have to change your name to... Kevin DuBrow. But if you are cool, I gotta spend the night over at The King of Town's?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's the deal, man. The total deal.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're goin' down, son.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No ways.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see you be's cool.

''{Homestar pulls out a pair of [[Cool Shades|shades]] and slowly puts them on. He pauses a moment for the effect to sink in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Sup?

''{Strong Bad takes this in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap!!

''{Cut to The King of Town's castle. Strong Bad rings the doorbell.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Come on in.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{peeks out from behind the door}'' Is the coast clear?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' The coast is toast!

''{Strong Bad comes out from behind the door. He is wearing a big fake beard that seems to be made out of a piece of bark}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's get this over with! ''{He takes off the beard and enters.}''

''{The two walk over to The King of Town's pantry.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' So here's all my foodstuffs. You want some Pork Snagglins? Or a can of Butter-da or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' King, I think that stuff's for automotive use only.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's possible. Ooh! And check it out! This is my 200-pound bag of Awwww Gratin potatoes! It's an '83!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that sucks. Look, do you have any video games or, like, R-rated movies?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I have ''a'' video game. It's the stand-up kind even! Like from an arcade.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Really? Why didn't you say so, you creepy old man? Let's play it!!

''{The game turns out to be ''Typing Tutor Turbo''.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... never mind.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' How many WPMs can you get up to? That's words per minute, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're about to get 175 fists per stomach if I'm not eating ice cream inside of one minute!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh!

''{Strong Bad is narrating as they scarf up "ice [[style]] cream." Flavors visible are "choco-gravy" and "maybe mint?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So in the end it didn't turn out half bad. I got to eat a crap load of ice cream.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Want another scoop of casserole flavored?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah! Yeah! Spoon it up! ''{voiceover}'' And I left an open can of mayonnaise in his ventilation ducts.

''{Cut to a shot from the interior of a duct as Strong Bad puts in a can of "army-style" [[mayonnaise]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, and Typing Tutor isn't actually that bad a game if you play it the right way.

''{Cuts to outside the castle, where Strong Bad is hoisting Typing Tutor over The King of Town's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get ready for fun!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{blindfolded}'' I'm ready!

''{Cut back to Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Just goes to show you Chris Ann, big losers are what you make of them. For instance, I'm gonna go make an indentured servant out of Strong Sad. And now, the get up noise.

''{We hear the Geddup noise as Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[File:Bet Egg.png|thumb|"I still drinks it!"]]
*At the end, click on "losers" to see a commercial for [[The King of Town's Food|Butter-da]].
:''{Cut to a blue screen with a picture of a can of Butter-da next to a picture of the King of Town's face. Some synthesized music is playing.}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' They tell me not to, but I still drinks it! ''{The second clause appears at the top in capitals as he says it.}''
:'''DISCLAIMER MAN:''' ''{He mumbles unintelligibly; the words "BUTTER-DA IS NOH HUSH A BUSH PUSH LEOPOLD" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''
*Also at the end, click "them" to see more of Homestar.
:''{Homestar (still in shades) and Marzipan are standing in the field at night.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Sup?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, quit saying that.
:''{A meteor shoots over Homestar's head}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My name's not Homestar. It's Kevin DuBrow.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' I thought that was if you lost the bet.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Never mind! 'Sup?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, that is not cool.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, it is. Strong Bad said so.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, if Strong Bad told you to jump off a bridge—
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting, forcefully}'' Yes!

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*An [[Wikipedia:Indentured servitude|indentured servant]] is an un-free laborer under contract to work for another person for a specified amount of time. This labor is often unpaid, in return for accommodation, food, other essentials, and/or free passage to a new country. After working for a number of years he or she is released from the contract and free to own land or practice a trade. Indentured servitude is now illegal under the [[Wikipedia:Universal Declaration of Human Rights|Universal Declaration of Human Rights]] as too similar to slavery.

===Trivia===
*At the loading page of this email, the letters of the word "loading" do not blink.

===Remarks===
*The letters of the first few words of the second line of Strong Bad's response are too close together (e.g. the M in "admit" overlaps the D slightly).

*Strong Bad uses "[[be's]]" when challenging Homestar.
*Homestar says "[[total]]".
*The King of Town has a lot of [[The King of Town's Food|food]] from previous cartoons, including:
**[[Schenectady Crispies]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]] (from [[labor day]])

*The beard that Strong Bad wore bears a striking resemblance to the beards from "[[Monty Python]]'s [[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Life of Brian|Life of Brian]]".
*"The coast is toast" is the tagline for the movie ''[[imdb:tt0120461|Volcano]]''.
*"Typing Tutor" was a computer game whose purpose, not surprisingly, was to teach people how to type. (The "arcade Typing Tutor" in the email doesn't even have a keyboard; it looks more like a [[Wikipedia:Space Invaders|Space Invaders]] clone but with letters instead of aliens.)
** The letters on the Typing Tutor game are in the same order as the first six letters of each row on an English-language [[Wikipedia:QWERTY|QWERTY]] keyboard (QWERTY, ASDFGH, ZXCVBN).
**In addition, the "Turbo" may be a reference to some games that use that line, most likely ''[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter II|Street Fighter 2 Turbo]]''.

===Fast Forward===
* Although Strong Bad says "And now, the get up noise" in this email, in the email [[geddup noise]], Strong Bad corrects Marc by saying it's called "[[the Geddup Noise]]."
:*Despite calling it the get up noise in this episode, it is later revealed that it is not the original Geddup Noise, but its cousin, Chairscoot. The original Geddup Noise left sometime around the email [[kids' book]].
* Also in [[geddup noise]], the announcer for [[The Show]] called Homestar [[Kevin]], though not necessarily Kevin DuBrow.
* Strong Bad asks the King of Town if he has any R-rated movies, which he will talk about later in [[rated]].

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome back to the World Series of Poker. My name is Strong Bad, accompanied here by Mike Chapman.

'''MIKE:''' Hello there, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, so Strong Bad's got pocket aces here—

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, pocket— pocket jacks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah—

'''MIKE:''' Pocket hooks, we call them

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. And the turn... Oh, didn't get anything on the turn. Okay, sorry. Uhh, I've been watching a lot of Travel Channel lately.

'''MIKE:''' Or any other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or four other networks that play Hold 'em. ''{pause}'' I like this night scene.

'''MIKE:''' I like— yeah, the moon, uh, with the rings around it's kind of— kind of nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, did you do that?

'''MIKE:''' The crickets? Yeah, I made that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Kevin DuBrow, you know—

'''MIKE:''' Who— Who is that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The incomparable.

'''MIKE:''' Who is that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's lead singer for Quiet Riot, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He had a metal face.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah ''{laughs}''— Yeah, that's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, he— What happened was, he shredded so much— he didn't play the guitar—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but the guitar shredded so much guitar in front of his face, that it melted off and he had to have it replaced with a metal face.

'''MIKE:''' Speaking of shredded guitars...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, dressed like, uh, what's his name, Billy Gibbons?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Or that other guy—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ZZ Top, or the other one. Not the drummer, though. So, I mean, who didn't have this experience where, just like, you're going through the directory; mom said you could have somebody spend the night on Friday; none of your ''real'' friends are available, so—

'''MIKE:''' So you have to invite the King of Town over?

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you—

'''MIKE:''' Or you have to invite yourself to the King of Town's house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you know—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, but—

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' That never happened. I— I think no one— that never happened to anyone but you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on! You had— you're so desperate, you were like, "I'll hang out with the loser guy."

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Usually they might have a lot of cool toys, or a hot mom. ''{Mike laughs}'' Right? You never did that?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''STRONG BAD:''' You never did that?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah, I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' See, like I'd probably seen through the window the... the... the... silhouette

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' silhouette

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of an arcade game, and thought, like, "Oh! It's got Gallagher in there," you know?

'''MIKE:''' The comedian?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you've never played his stand-up game? ''{Mike laughs}'' Breaking watermelons all over the place. ''{Pause}'' That was some good ice cream, though.

'''MIKE:''' Choc— Mayo Gravy sounds good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, it was good. And it had giblets. Real Johnson Giblets.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good idea right there: putting the mayo in the ventilation duct.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did that in Art class.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I had teach— Art teacher didn't like the smell of mayo.

'''MIKE:''' How long did it take before it really started stinking?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Four years.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I was—

'''MIKE:''' It seems like mayonnaise would go bad sooner than that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, it did!

'''MIKE:''' But it didn't smell leftover—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I— They thought it was ''me''! They blamed it on ''me''!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Six}}, {{dvd|Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD|notitle=true}}

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. A drumroll begins. Then, the curtain opens to show the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat appears and plays a trill on a flute.}''

'''SINGER:''' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about.

''{During the song, "200" appears in the fonts of the Tandy, Compy, and Lappy sequentially, followed by "strongbad_email.exe" typed out. Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet while roses are thrown. Marzipan and Coach Z are seen watching him enter.}''

'''SINGER:''' How can we face two hundred sbemails?

''{Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. We then cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, wearing a bowtie and holding a microphone, as he finishes his song.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing on his stool. Strong Sad can be seen among the audience.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finishing the song}'' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{The audience sits down.}'' ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! ''{Close shot of Strong Bad}'' I'm almost ''{pantomimes wiping his nose}'' sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove. Cut to Strong Bad sitting down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go!

''{pulls up the email, but doesn't read it}''

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duh-duh-duh-Dear ''HOMESTAR''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? ''{Camera zooms out}'' New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does and he grabs it.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' Hooyah! ''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his [[Happy 8600]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' that answers emails from fans with humorous results.

''{Cut back to show the two characters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked ''{Camera zooms out}'' about burglars ''{thumping his feet}'' breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of ''{holds up a cinnamon dispenser}'' cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{opens the lid and throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{The light turns on as he walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp, from the email [[caper]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapped by Homestar}'' Okay, calm down, I didn't mean to—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{Homestar teleports around the room to a different place after each word he says. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Screen dims}''

''{Cut to a dimmed shot of the basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z. ''{Screen brightens up}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's computer room. Strong Bad is standing on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{now frustrated}'' Hang! On! Shut! Face! Those were ''my'' emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad and looks at it}'' ''{Zoom in on Homestar.}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

''{Cut back to show the two characters. Strong Bad is sitting on the edge of the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{close shot of the Happy 8600 as Homestar types his email address}'' DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

''{Cut back to to show the two characters. Strong Bad is leaning off the table and standing on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

''{Zoom in on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! ''{Camera zooms out}'' Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Booyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, leaving behind one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The subject/to line and screen are inexplicably blank. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a short "A" sound as in "ham", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera whips to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a few seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... ''ding''! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer" and has a laptop with an X on top of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer: a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms.

''{In the background, Strong Bad is seen running to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as rock music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew. Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. ''{mimicking Homestar}'' "Apply libewally!" ''{Camera zooms out}'' Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of showing Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address. The two images of the "@" key and Strong Bad's head in an envelope are also missing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The term "Stealing One's Thunder" (from which the title is derived) is used in situations wherein one person is associated with hoopla stemming from the efforts of another person. In this case, sbemail #200 was intended to be for Strong Bad, but the email itself was addressed to Homestar Runner, who would therefore be recognized as the recipient of the 200th email.
*When Strong Bad sends his email, he mentions several technical terms:
**[[Wikipedia:Domain Name Server#DNS_resolvers|DNS Resolving]] is a process done by a DNS (Domain Name System) server in which it identifies the IP address of a [[Wikipedia:Domain name|domain name]].
**[[Wikipedia:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]], or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a standard for servers sending email.
*[[Wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] and [[Wikipedia:IEEE 1394 interface|FireWire]] are modern types of serial connections. Older serial connectors were defined by the number of connectors or "pins" they have. Therefore, a 4-pin or an 8-pin would have 4 or 8 pins, respectively, though no such standard connections existed. Serial ports were traditionally 9-pin and 25-pin.

===Trivia===
*Opening [[HR:hremail49.html|hremail49.html]] will play an excerpt from that email.
**Opening [[HR:hremail24.html|hremail24.html]] will play what is left of an event referenced in the previous [[hremail]].
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#duck pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] provides the voice of the Poopsmith, marking the only main character who is not voiced by [[the Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*This is the only time we unambiguously hear the Poopsmith talk. 
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing were not there when Strong Bad said "email thunder". These were added later.
*This email took the shortest amount of time for any Strong Bad Email to come to DVD, as [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Six]] came only two months later.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad finds out Homestar has his own email show and is trying to steal his email thunder."
*This email contains about 15 Easter eggs. This is more than any email, or any toon, has ever had so far.

===Remarks===
* The bugle at the beginning has [[angled pixels]], which is a technological impossibility on such supposed low-resolution gifs.
*After the close-up on the Lappy, the cursor disappears.
*In the flashbacks to [[caper]] and [[long pants]], Strong Bad's design is the newest one, rather than the one he had at that time, which was the [[Strong Bad Evolution|sixth]].
*In the flashback to [[caper]], before the light turns on, The Cheat is already standing next to the cabinet; in the actual email, he's standing in front of it.
*When The Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.
*Strong Bad pulls the giant bottle of Mountain Dew from [[Hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad has no idea Homestar has an Email address, yet he knew exactly what it was in [[credit card]].
*Strong Bad is surprised at the email, but in [[the process]] he says he picks the email beforehand.
*The Strong Sad Easter egg simply said "sbemail200" on the corner of the screen without the ".html" at the end, as opposed to "sbemail179''.html''" in [[pizza joint]]. This may be because this email's URL is not "sbemail200.html" but "sbemailtwohundred.html".
*Rolling over "[[kind of cool]]" to show [[Senor Cardgage]] doesn't work on the word "cool", which is located at the beginning of the next line.
*Strong Bad never actually answers an email in this cartoon.
*During the closeup of "Dear Homestar", the following text is visible on the Lappy with a decompiler:
<blockquote>Oh...Steven! I think this may finally be it you guys! After 
200 emails I'm finally gonna get 
to make out with D-D-D </blockquote>
:This is most likely a scrapped response for the initial email, and was later featured in [[Quote of the Week#QW-2008-10-16|the Quote of the Week]].
:*Part of the text can briefly be seen if you view the email as the Flash file and make the window tall.
*The back button sends you to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons page]] rather than the Strong Bad Email page.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar puts cinnamon on his face, his eyes are the wrong size. They're quite noticeably squished and placed too high on his face.
[[Image:EmailThunderOffSync.png|thumb|100px|Blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry pants!]]
*In the clip from [[long pants]], when Homestar is blurred in the foreground, the table and carpet within the image of blurred Homestar are not in their proper places.
**Additionally, the first line of words on the screen are not there.
*On the end screen, there is no space between [[cheatday]] and [[pom pom]].

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelled "sibby".

===Glitches===
*If the Limozeen Easter egg is activated, followed by another Easter egg, Limozeen will continue to play over the other one.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's destroying the Happy with [[Mountain Dew]] parallels Homestar's similar use of the soft drink on the Compy in [[anything]]. Strong Bad even quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating his impediment.
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad signs his message to Homestar "Abdi", based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] twice at the end of the email; once when the Happy starts to spark, and once when The Paper comes down.
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 9, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays the [[Instruments|flute]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Homestar once again uses [[cinnamon]] for stubble.
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "[[draw Trogdor again]]."
*Strong Bad's signs his email to Homestar with the catchphrase "[[Seriously|Sewiously]]", in the same vein as emails he received signed "[[Crapfully yours]]".
*"Squeazeled" and "cavalanche" are [[portmanteaus]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an initialism for "[[Crap|What the Crap?]]".
*There are three instances of [[Not X]] in this email: Strong Bad is "almost not totally disgusted" by The Poopsmith's singing; he asks Homestar for "a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer"; and in an Easter egg, Strong Sad tells viewers to "be sure and not check out my blog."
*Homestar's list of hremails is similar to the one in [[personal favorites]], in that they both have narration that says ''"like the one when... wrote in..."'' and ''"and the one where..."'', as well as the first two emails being real and the rest being fake.
*Homestar claims to have taken some of [[Strong Sad's Pills|Strong Sad's pills]] when remembering the email [[long pants]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle" by [[Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Interestingly, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.
* The menu page description for this toon says, "Homestar will flip you. He will flip you for real." This is a reference to a memorable line spoken by [[Wikipedia: Benicio Del Toro|Benicio Del Toro's]] character in [[Wikipedia: The Usual Suspects|The Usual Suspects]].
*Homestar's email address is a reference to [[Wikipedia: Wolfenstein (series)| the Wolfenstein series']] Main character, BJ Blazkowicz.
*The beginning riff that plays when Strong Bad approaches Homestar's computer with the Mountain Dew is very similar to the intro riff of "Between the Hammer and the Anvil" by [[Wikipedia: Judas Priest|Judas Priest]]

===Fast Forward===
*Some full-length [[Hremails]] were released beginning in over 2009, arguably doing what Strong Sad foreshadows in the Review Revue egg and reigning over Sbemails.
*Strong Bad eventually checked his 201st email in [[hremail3184]].

==DVD Version==
*The roll-over egg and downloading of the song (for obvious reasons) are disabled.
*The HREmail 49 and 24 Easter eggs are directly accessible from the end of the toon.

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

'''MATT:''' A millstone, Mike, a Millstone coffee. This email is like a cup of Millstone coffee.

'''MIKE:''' So, we still really haven't decided if there'll be more sbemails or not.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I've decided.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there won't be.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' There won't be?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's— we're done.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that e— that slow-motion walk clip, that was the culmination of all of eight years of efforts, or six years in Strong Bad Email case.

'''MIKE:''' In Strong Bad Email case?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' So we totally collaborated with John Linnell in this song, and for weeks ahead we sent him notes and he would send... rough drafts of the song back to us, and he totally didn't just make this song and send it to us and there was maybe one email exchange between the two of us.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was our creative process.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' It was not that. No, we told him, hey, do you— we had originally asked him to do something for 199, since he had done a song for email 99, but then email 199, we kinda just came and went, did a normal email, and then, uhh, he just made this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He made this song.

'''MATT:''' He was like, hey, I made a little thing, a little intro for a— the sbemail 200.

'''MIKE:''' And then we listened to it about ten times in a row and then we thought, I dunno, it just came to us that maybe The Poopsmith should be singing it.

'''MATT:''' Yep. ''{pause}'' It's a bombshell, man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, man.

'''MATT:''' TBC dropped a bombshell at the beginning of this email.

'''MIKE:''' That email thunder, the little lightning and thunder flashiness was added, like, a couple hours after it was up.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, that's right.

'''MIKE:''' I fixed a couple goofs, and then I added that, just cause I had the idea to add it.

'''MATT:''' Nice, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' I'm surprised we didn't add, we had always talked about putting something on Homestar's wall.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It looks a little bare.

'''MATT:''' A picture of s— of, uhh, Señor Havin' A Little Trouble, maybe, or Mr. Bland. ''{pause}'' he— Homestar has, uhh, Ryan Sterritt's kitchen table.

'''MIKE:''' And Ikea's kitchen table.

'''MATT:''' And a nice molded-plastic chair. ''{pause}'' Oh, tappa-tappa-tappa.

'''MIKE:''' So we had talked about doing this for a long time, having a cartoon where you start on Homestar, and Homestar's doing a bunch of stuff, and falls asleep, and then it turns out that this was sort of the p— Homestar's version of the Strong Bad Email, where he would then come into a Strong Bad Email like this.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Did I explain that well?

'''MATT:''' Not well at all.

'''MIKE:''' We talked about making a cartoon where it's Homestar and then at the end of the cartoon or somewhere within the cartoon you see one of their little scenes where Homestar popped into a Strong Bad Email, and it was actually part of a larger story focusing on Homestar the Runner. That was eloquence. ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was a little better. Now that spent half the commentary talking about that.

'''MIKE:''' We got nothing else to talk about.

'''MATT:''' I like— I think Coach Z with that fondue pot on his head should be some kind of— ''and the tail'' should be some kind of Johnny Appleseed.

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

'''MATT:''' We should make up like a, Saddy Dumpington— it should be the Saddy Dumpington version of Coach Z.

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

'''MATT:''' He's got a tiger tail.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Monday's update, I call that.

'''MIKE:''' Alright.

'''MATT:''' Get started, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' What was the, uh—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I've got diarrhea, I won't be able to do work on that one.

'''MIKE:''' What did you record the, uh, sound of Homestar's computer, uh, keyboard tapping sound?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it was on my— my old, uh, laptop at home.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' Nothing— nothing interesting.

'''MIKE:''' ''{pause}'' Umm...

'''MATT:''' Whooyaa!

'''MIKE:''' He says some nice whooyaas several times.

'''MATT:''' Several, three or four whooyaas. ''{pause}'' Umm, so this is the first time we've ever seen Strong Bad re— like, send a, uh, actually send an email, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the cursor blinking up in the subject bar.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was you, man.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hn.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Umm, how does Homestar type with no gloves of any kind on? Right? Hands? Whoo!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, what do you call that?

'''MATT:''' A blurry swoosh.

'''MIKE:''' A swoosh?

'''MATT:''' That's a whip pan.

'''MIKE:''' A whip pan, that's what I was looking for.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' A 180-degree whip stick.

'''MIKE:''' Did you see the stool, the stool was kinda slowly gliding back.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it had been greased recently.

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

'''MIKE:''' That, uh, is that the same sign from, uh, the hygiene email? Gene's Mouth National—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah, the one— Gene's Mouth National—

'''MIKE:''' Park.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Do do do do do do do do guh guh guh guh guh guh! ''{pause}'' Umm... ''{pause}'' Throw— there's a lot of callbacks in this email.

'''MIKE:''' Mountain Dew, pouring Mountain Dew.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there's really no original content in it at all.

'''MIKE:''' It's a clip show, it may as well just of been a clip show.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you did a poor job on this 200th email.

'''MIKE:''' But, uh, I—

'''MATT:''' It's too bad this is the last email we're ever making.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' For sure, I decided right now, for certain, never again.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Sorry.

'''MIKE:''' I bet by the time this DVD's out we will have made one already.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Alright.

'''MATT:''' I'm holdin' out.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' I have a sore throat and dia— diarrhea.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I'm sure everyone needed to know that.

'''MATT:''' That one's my favorite.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that one's my favorite.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I like that one, too.

'''MIKE:''' That one sucks.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I— oh, that one. Yeah, that one's bad.

=== Fun Facts ===
*[[Wikipedia:Millstone Coffee|Millstone Coffee]] is a brand of coffee.
*The email [[credit card]] is actually the first time that Strong Bad sent an email onscreen.
*Despite Mike's prediction, no new Strong Bad Emails were released in between email thunder and strongbad_email.exe Disc Six. Strong Bad finally made his "comeback" on June 29, 2009 in [[hremail3184]].
*Matt makes a dual reference to both Homestar's [[lack of visible arms]] and Strong Bad's ability to [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|type with boxing gloves on]].

=== Postcard 1 ===

'''The Great Mound (Bigger than that one in Ohio!)'''

'''Date:''' Sunday, August 11, 2002

Hey, you guys! Just dropping you a line here from "The Great Mound." I got two words for ya: false advertising. There's ''nothing'' great about this mound, okay? And another thing: there's nothing but old ladies hanging around this mound! You know, wearing their muumuus and their tutus and all their Dainty McDainty crap... Like...I don't like old ladies. I don't even wanna see 'em. Anyways, the mound was a big disappointment. I'll write from my next destination. Later!

=== Postcard 2 ===

'''Fabulous Downtown Pantsburg'''

'''Date:''' Thursday, August 15, 2002

Hey everybody. Don't be fooled. Downtown Pantsburg isn't anywhere ''near'' as fabulous as it appears in that photograph. I mean, they don't even let you ride that bike! In fact, it was, like, welded to that little house! Anyways, I met some guys here, they were pretty cool, we hung out, y'know, made fun of this one girl...pushed some guy into some mud... We traded addresses and stuff and they say they're gonna come visit, but, you know how that ends up. I'll never see 'em again. Come to think of it, I probably should have taken some of their stuff. Oh well. That old highway's a-callin' my name, so, you'll hear from me soon. Peace!

=== Postcard 3 ===

'''It's that CLOCK (look at it go)'''

'''Date:''' Monday, August 19, 2002

''{singing, with acoustic guitar playing in background}'' It's that clooooock...come on you guuuuuuys...you need to check it on ouuuuuuuut... it's that CLOCK! I can't believe it! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, the best thing about this postcard is if you look at the clock, that's the exact same time that I first laid eyes on the clock! 2:55, man. And like, iddi—oh, wait, it still says... 2:55. Okay, well, the clock is broken, but still! It's about the best thing I've ever seen ''{sings}'' in my whole liiiiiife! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, now I got to bust a wicked solo. ''{starts playing a sparse acoustic guitar solo, ending with very high notes}'' Thank you, good night!

=== Postcard 4 ===

'''Two Cars Tennessee'''

'''Date:''' Thursday, August 22, 2002 (approx.)

'Sup, everybody? Here I am in Two Cars, Tennessee, and you know what? I kinda miss you guys and your emails... I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear [[Stong Bad]], You are crap. Crap is the best. Everybody loves crap. Crap is in the mix. Crap is to the max. How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzipants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, Seattle, Washington." Ahh... okay! I got my fix. On to the next town! Oh, and incidentally, I highly recommend Two Cars, Tennessee. It's got a ''real'' happenin' arts and crafts scene.

=== Postcard 5 ===

'''Visit Historic Over There'''

'''Date:''' Monday, August 26, 2002

Hey guys, just a quick one while I'm away. So I visited Historic Over There. Don't be fooled by the old-timey photograph—the place really looks like that. Like, everything is tan and brown. The sky? Tan. And the streets are paved with a little different shade of tan. It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques. Yeah. ''Screwed up.'' There was one guy out there doing caricatures, though. I stopped by and got one...of myself...he made me...a caric-ter...choor...it was great. Okay. All this old Coca-Cola memorabilia is making me thirsty. I'll talk at ya soon.

== Easter Eggs ==
[[File:Vacation Characiture.png|thumb|The ladies be that way!]]
*You can click on the Post-it note to hear it say different insults and comments:
**"Hey!"
**"Dorks!"
**"Get offa me!"
**"You stink!"
*On the second postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the window and see Strong Bad being himself.
:''{A silhouetted Strong Bad peeks his head out from behind the dark rectangle, then runs toward the bike}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee! ''{jumps on the bike}'' Oh man. My legs don't even reach the pedals! This is about as fun as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride... But actually, that was pretty fun. There's that part where you think you're going to hit the badger, and—what the? 
:''{A second light comes on in the house, and a dog starts barking}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh geez! 
:''{Strong Bad jumps off the bike, and runs headlong into the mailbox, causing a flurry of mail and falling on the ground}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Hey, coupons!
*On the fourth postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the rightmost headlight to see the crazy Seattle [[Monkey D]] postcard.
*On the fifth postcard, while he is talking about his caricature, you can click on the postcard and see it. The caricature is labeled "[[Lem Sportsinterviews|LEM]] '02."

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*Until [[retirement]], this was the only email on the site without any links to Strong Bad's email address.
*When Strong Bad stands up, he makes [[The Geddup Noise]] with his voice, rather than the stool making it, according to the DVD commentary for [[army]].
*This is the longest Tandy-era email.
*This is the first email to break both the three minute ''and'' four minute mark.
*This toon has [[nondescript nouns]] ("That Clock" and "Over There").
*This email was updated over a period of approximately two weeks, with Strong Bad writing a postcard every few days.

===Remarks===
[[Image:Monkey Dude6.PNG|thumb|The infamous Monkey Dude typo]]
*The Seattle skyline featured in the Easter egg for the fourth postcard is backwards.
*Also in the Easter egg, there is a typo on Monkey Dude's shirt. It reads "I ♥ '''[[Stong]] Band'''" instead of "Strong Bad".

===Glitches===
*While the postcards play, the contrast knobs can still be selected.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad expresses his displeasure at BrothaCheese for using [[Crapfully Yours|crap]] in his signature.
*"How does [[Homestar Runner]] pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzipants?" is both a reference to Homestar's [[lack of visible arms]] and [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]].
*"Get offa me!" is a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], in which rolling over a skull at the ending produces the same message.

===Real-World References===
*"A little bit of this, a little bit of that" is a lyric from the song ''Anatevka'', from the musical [[Wikipedia:Fiddler on the Roof|Fiddler on the Roof]].
*[[Wikipedia:Mr. Toad's Wild Ride|Mr. Toad's Wild Ride]] is an attraction at [[Wikipedia:Disneyland|Disneyland]] based on the [[Disney]] movie [[Wikipedia:The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad|''The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad'']], which in turn was based on [[Wikipedia:The Wind in the Willows|''The Wind in the Willows'']]. The [[Wikipedia:Badger|badger]] refers to a character from the movie and book, appropriately named MacBadger, and the part of the ride that Strong Bad is referring to is the very beginning of the ride.
*In postcard 5, Strong Bad says, "Just a quick one while I'm away", a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]]'s song "[[Wikipedia:A Quick One While He's Away|A Quick One While He's Away]]".
*In postcard 1, it says the Great Mound is "Bigger than that one in Ohio!" This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Serpent Mound|Serpent Mound]] in Adams County, OH.
*2:55, the time shown on the clock tower, is the same time that appears on the clock tower on a U.S. $100 bill.
===Fast Forward===
*The Seattle postcard is later used as the filler inside the words for the "Greetings from Place" postcard in an Easter Egg in [[different town]].

== DVD Version ==
*The "DORKS!" sticky note is still clickable, but it only says, "Hey, dorks!"
*The Lem Sportsinterviews caricature can be seen only by hitting your DVD player's Angle button.

[[Image:Yello Dello 2.png|thumb|right|220px|The most rare and beautiful bird in this entire article.]]

{{aboutcharacter}} {{fortoon|In Search of the Yello Dello}}

'''The Yello Dello''' is a large bird found only in [[Far Off Lands|North-Eastern Potamia]]. The Yello Dello is, according to the [[Wikipedia:Steve Irwin|Steve Irwin]]-like host of the Discover Network, "the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon". She eats clam meat and seems to live atop a large mountain. [[Strong Bad]] believes the Yello Dello is one hot bird. [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], and [[Strong Sad]] embarked on a quest to acquire her and give her to [[Marzipan]] for her birthday. Despite her beauty, the Yello Dello can turn vicious in an instant, as Homestar found out to his cost. Although they considered shooting her, Homestar and Pom Pom were able to capture her alive after Strong Sad bored her to sleep. Unfortunately, Strong Bad had told Marzipan of Homestar's present ahead of time, and Homestar made the mistake of greeting Marzipan with a roast turkey. Believing the turkey to be the Dello, Marzipan slapped Homestar and stormed off.

Despite having a rather masculine-sounding voice, The Yello Dello is apparently a female, as Marzipan and Strong Sad refer to her as such.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Five}}

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens in a darkened Computer Room with yellow tape (reading "LELLOWTAPE") all over the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Email is nice, ''{the lights come on and Strong Bad sits down}'' habalubabulabada! ''{rips the tape away}'' Email is twice, habilastilbilasaw!  ''{pulls up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: keeping life exciting</div>
dear strong bad, 
dude i am getting bored of the "no loafing" sign and blue 
paint. 
 
jamie ericson canada
</blockquote>

''{The "dear strong bad" echoes, causing Strong Bad to look around a bit. Strong Bad pronounces "jamie ericson" as "hom-ee-ay eric-SON".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's so funny that you should say that Jamie ''{says as an unintelligible mumble}'', because I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and your face, and your snotty nose.

''{"nose" echoes, and Strong Bad looks around some more. Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the No Loafing sign could take a cue from the fast-food, soft drink, and bad sports team industries and combat sluggish sales and decades of losing with a slick logo redesign.

''{The screen cuts back and then zooms to the No Loafing sign. The blue wall vanishes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping to a beat}'' First you squish it, skew it, and turn it all around. Squish it, skew it, turn it all around.

''{As he says this, the border disappears and the words are squished, skewed, and turned around. At the end, the words are at a slant.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then we need to make it fast and slick and shiny like Flo Jo in a tuxedo.

''{The words curve, the tops of the letters become spikes pointing to the left, and they become all shiny.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping again}'' Uh! Flo Jo with da tux-''eee''-do!

''{The words react to the beat of his rap, various decorations litter the screen, and a no symbol appears behind the words.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now it's time to play Color Wheel Roulette. No Whammies, no Whammies!

''{The colors of the sign cycle through various schemes, finally ending up on the words being a dull yellow and the circle in the background turning a greenish tan, with the blank space in the middle turning brown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{audience groans}'' Awww... Ouch, man. Now, just when you think you're done, you gotta dip it in molten Plexiglas ''{the entire sign becomes glossy}'' to give it that "children under three are sure to choke on it" goodness.

''{With a "ding", sparkles appear on the logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Almost forgot the fangs.

''{With a roar, [[Blood|bloody]] fangs sprout from the logo.}''

''{Cut to The Cheat and Strong Bad, with a new-style iMac in front of The Cheat. The logo Strong Bad described is on the monitor.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I don't know how we're gonna print it out, seeing as how somebody sliced off the back of your monitor. And quit rubbing that plastic bar of soap ''{indicating The Cheat's cordless mouse}'' on the desk. You clearly don't have what it takes ''{rubs The Cheat's head}'' to bring NO LOAFING into the digital age.

''{The Cheat closes the window, and Strong Bad turns toward the viewer, smiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I does!

''{Cut back to the No Loafing sign.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from elementary school cafetoriums and lotto machines...

''{The No Loafing sign transforms into a cafeteria-style LED display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...comes one of those actually pretty hard-to-read message board signs.

''{"NO LOAFING" scrolls past, followed by a crawling worm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Capable of advanced animation, scroll-a botones...

''{The words "GRUEL IS COOL!" come in, with the individual pixels coming from opposite sides before meeting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and twelve levels of blinkiness.

''{"NO LOAFING" returns and the letters blink. Then the screen blinks and fireworks appear on the display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we can celebrate the lack of loafing with some fireworks! And a man doing cartwheels!

''{The fireworks disappear and a man doing cartwheels moves across the display. Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No mortal would ''dare'' loaf under the four-colored dotted digital stare of this bad boy! Y'know, unless they looked up too late, and the "No" had already scrolled off...

''{Scrolls up to the display just as the "N" in "NO LOAFING" scrolls off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so they thought that it said, "DO Loafing."

''{The words "DO LOAFING" scroll on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or maybe, like, Franklin Delano Loafing, our nation's laziest president.

''{The man doing cartwheels appears after "DO LOAFING", followed by "FRANKL" before the screen cuts back to Strong Bad's Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's enough loaf. As for the blue wall, if you're gonna repaint anything, you might as well use that magic green screen paint that Hollywood still thinks looks good. Then the wall can be anything you want!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room, but with bright green walls instead of blue. Strong Bad happily skips in the middle of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Imagine being able to frolic through the bread aisle...

''{The wall — and Strong Bad's bright green eyes — are replaced with an image of a [[bread]] aisle at a supermarket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...without leaving the house!

''{Strong Bad leans back against the wall and sinks into the sitting position.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, bread aisle! Warm me with your enriched, bleached bosom! And please, give me back my sight.

''{Cut to another part of the computer room with the same green paint. Strong Bad is sitting on the floor, looking at the wall, and holding a controller.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or play your favorite video games where the pixels are big as hams!

''{The wall becomes a video game called "Sundae Drivin'", which involves a giant bowl of ice cream on wheels driving down the road collecting toppings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating a car's engine}'' Vrrrrrrrr! Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

''{The sundae-car collects a cherry, and "CHERRY GET" appears on the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Vrrrrrrrrrr! Watch out for the wet walnuts!

''{The sundae-car collides with a brown jar with a "W" on it and it explodes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwwwww!

''{The screen reads "Your James Over", with a cherry under it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This game sucks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But what green screens are ''really'' for...

''{The screen cuts to Strong Bad, with a Greek spear, shield, and helmet, looking at the wall, which appears to be an island village with a "Claymation" cycloptic monster on it. Strong Mad can be heard doing the voice of the monster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...is battling Claymation!

''{The monster steps forward, roaring and swiping in Strong Bad's direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It'll take more than karate pants to keep me from toilet-papering the temple of the gods!

''{Coach Z walks in. Where his bright green body overlaps the wall, the green screen's image appears over him, leaving just his head and feet standing on the carpet. His usual "Z" medallion is replaced with a glossy curved medallion with fangs, resembling The Cheat's remake of the No Loafing sign. Strong Bad and the monster stop fighting. When Coach Z says "Check it out!", the monster looks at the Z emblem. When Coach Z says "and turned it all..." The monster gives a glance at Strong Bad.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad! Check it out! I squished it! And skewed it! And turned it all...

''{The medallion is squished, skewed, and turned around. Both Strong Bad and the monster run off. The monster's motion trail is seen while it runs away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

'''COACH Z:''' ...a...round?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Aww, forget it, Jamie. ''{said as "quay-quay"}'' If you're so bored with my style, here's a change for ya.

''{Cut to the laundry room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No, pan up!

''{The screen pans up to reveal a seashell-themed wallpaper near the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've put up this delightful ocean-themed border in the laundry room! Oh, and look!

''{The screen zooms in on the dials on the washing machine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I hot-glued some actual shells onto the knobs of the washer and dryer!

''{Cut back to show Strong Bad standing next to the washer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, that's our show. Join us next week when we show you how to knit your own splatter paints!

''{Cut back again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

''{A logo for "redesigning SBEMAILS, JERK FOOT" appears.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Ba-doo ba! Do Daaaah!

''{On "Daaaah!", the words "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" appear below. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
[[Image:Animated 'No Loafing' Sign.gif|thumb=NoLoafing SmAnim.gif|The "New" No Loafing sign.]]
*The Lappy was covered in "[[LELLOWTAPE]]" because it had been nearly eight weeks (up to 55 days depending on when Strong Bad took the Lappy [[Weclome Back|skydiving]]) since the last email.
*[[wikipedia:Bluescreen|Green screens]] are used in film and television in order to have an alternate background behind the live action. The solid color wall is digitally replaced by a chosen background. This technique is called ''chroma key'' or ''color-separation overlay'', and can actually be done with any color, though blue and green are the most widely-used since human skin tones do not naturally contain blue or green pigments.

*The No Loafing Scrolling Sign is actually a [[Wikipedia:LED#LED display panels|scrolling LED marquee]] ''(Pictured)''.
*A cafetorium is a room used as both a cafeteria and an auditorium and often associated with older school buildings without sufficient room to have two separate areas.

===Trivia===
*This marks the first appearance of [[Monosodium Dreams]], (an [[Wikipedia:IMac G5|iMac G5]] or [[Wikipedia:IMac Core Duo|iMac Core Duo]]), replacing the "[[Tangerine Dreams]]" [[Wikipedia:IMac G3|iMac G3]] The Cheat previously had.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#sundae drivin'|sundae drivin]]", which is the game Strong Bad plays on the greenscreen-painted wall.
*On the dryer, one knob reads, "Start"; the other has three settings: "Dry", "Real Dry", and "High & Dry".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad is able to fluently type the word "redesign" with only his left hand, although it uses letters from both sides of the keyboard.
*Strong Bad's "Squish it, skew it, turn it all around" song is the same tune as the "Email is nice, email is twice" song at the beginning of the email.
*The Flo-Jo'd No Loafing Sign with the no-symbol has inconsistent lighting. The no-symbol is lit from the top left while the text is lit from the top right. The strong highlights are also placed inconsistently.
*When Strong Bad is playing Color Wheel Roulette, the No Loafing sign only cycles through five color schemes.
*Strong Bad asks The Cheat how he can print when "somebody sliced off the back of [his] monitor", yet his laptop screen is just as thin and he has no trouble printing The Paper out.
*The cartoon shows Strong Bad playing video games on his greenscreen-painted wall. This is actually impossible in real life, since chroma key only replaces green areas ''after'' processing the film or video output. (This is why TV weather forecasters have to look at an off-camera monitor to actually see the map they are pointing to.) Strong Bad would only ever see a green wall. The same goes for the battling claymation and being able to frolic through the bread aisle.
*On the scrolling LED No Loafing Sign, it is possible to see that the glowing lights do not line up perfectly, horizontally and vertically, with the dormant lights. Also, the words "No Loafing" slide across as a solid layer, rather than all the lights in each column lighting up one after another.
*None of the No Loafing signs are visible in the greenscreen scenes. In the real world, any of these signs would appear over the video being shown on the greenscreen.
*This email uses an older design of Strong Bad's face.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad clears the screen, the "I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and" line disappears prematurely.
*When the screen shifts to the No Loafing Sign, you can briefly see a second cursor on the Lappy's screen.
*When Coach Z walks in front of the Green screen, the edge of the carpet can be seen through his ankles. This should not happen, as Coach Z's feet would fully block the view of the carpet whether the green-replacement effect has "removed" Coach Z's feet or not.


===Inside References===
*Strong Bad says "email is [[twice]]".
*"Scroll-a botones" was previously used in one of the [[Scroll Button Songs]].
*The music that plays briefly in the background when Strong Bad starts "Color Wheel Roulette" is from [[The Show]], as heard on [[Main Page 19]].
*The box design for "Color Wheel Roulette Stupid Home Edition" is a reference to [[The Show#The Show! Stupid Home Edition|The Show! Stupid Home Edition]] from [[geddup noise]].
*When Strong Bad's game says "Your James Over" at the end, it echoes the [[Homsar Main Page]], where "Games" was pronounced "James".
*The explosion of the sundae looks very similar to the 'poofing' of Strong Bad's pants in [[senior prom]], Pom Pom's smoke bomb in [[Summer Short Shorts]], and the shell explosions in [[Let us give TANKS!]].


===Real-World References===
*"Franklin Delano Loafing" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], the 32nd President of the United States. It's also another instance of [[Presidents]].
*"Flo-Jo" was a nickname for [[Wikipedia:Florence Griffith Joyner|Florence Griffith Joyner]], an American athlete.
*The famous phrase "No [[Wikipedia:Whammy (Press Your Luck)|Whammies]]" comes from the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Press Your Luck|Press Your Luck]]''.
*The Color Wheel picture is similar to that of [[Wikipedia: Wheel of Fortune|''Wheel of Fortune'']].
*The Color Wheel Roulette's claim of "50% fewer deaths than [[Russian]] variety" refers to the practice of [[Wikipedia:Russian roulette|Russian roulette]].
*Strong Bad's remark about dipping the sign in [[Wikipedia:Acrylic glass|molten plexiglass]] to "give it that 'children under 3 are sure to choke on it' goodness" is a reference to a common choking hazard warning seen on most plastic products.
*"Redesigning SBemails" at the end is a reference to the many house redesign shows on channels such as [[Wikipedia:HGTV|HGTV]].
**The tag line "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" is a reference to budget redesign shows such as [[IMDB:tt0370125|''Design on a Dime'']].
*The "Cherry Get!" graphic that appears when Strong Bad is playing "[[Sundae Drivin']]" is a reference to many Japanese video games, in which "[Object] Get!" is commonly displayed whenever you collect an object. 
*The scene with the [[stop motion]] cyclops is a mashup of [[Wikipedia:Ray Harryhausen|Ray Harryhausen]] movies, most notably of [[imdb:tt0051337|''The 7th Voyage of Sinbad'']], where Sinbad fights an orange claymation cyclops on the beach (though Harryhausen used his pioneering [[Wikipedia:Dynamation|Dynamation]] technique instead of greenscreens).
*"Pant one, pant two!!" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pantone|Pantone]] color matching systems.
*The "big as hams" reference goes back to before [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|David Letterman]] made it big. He once lost a job as a weather man on local news for stating: "... and there are hail stones the size of canned hams out there!"


===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad's echo effect would be imitated later in [[hremail3184]], which came out after another extensive break from regular updates.
*A pumpkin depicting Coach Z's redesigned logo would appear in [[Punkin Show]]. It is called the "2006 Coach Z logo", referring to the year this email came out.

== DVD Version ==
*Strong Bad's line, "But what greens screens are ''really'' for-" is replaced with Strong Bad's previously said line, "Now just when you think you're done..."

*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===

'''Commentary by: [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]'''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it looks like there had been a little, a little respite. I think this was the Estiveeve break.

'''MATT:''' Oh, was it?

'''MIKE:''' Esteban Powell. 

'''MIKE:''' Ummm... So, I just recently saw a redesign of... a potential redesign of the Atlanta Hawks logo.

'''MATT:''' Uh-oh.

'''MIKE:''' It look terrible!

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MATT:''' Does it follow the rules? Does did get—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupts}'' It does! It totally follows the rules! I mean—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupts, overlapping}'' Shiny, and angular?

'''MIKE:''' It's already shin- and it's terrible now, and it got worse. And the sad thing is the Atlanta Hawks have probably have the best logo of all time, their '80s logo.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Batman logo.

'''MATT:''' With all the retro, you know, with retro being so, so in, for the last twenty years.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the def... they wear those uniforms maybe once or twice a year, but, I don't know why, they just don't go back to it.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Who is beat boxing, Mike? ''{At the "squish it, skew it, and turn it all around" part of the email}'' Was that you, or was that me? I don't remember.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Probably you.

'''MATT:''' Oh. I'm not a very good beat box—

'''MIKE:''' Me neither! ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' I don't think I would have volunteered.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I know you got it.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Bids his beat into there!

'''MATT:''' Oh, what's that show called, no whammy show? ''{Mike says quietly "Umm... um.."}'' Press Your Luck?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That little whammy's guy, it's a little gremlin, right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that came bac— Press Your Luck came back with like a terrible CG... ''{Mike can be faintly heard saying "What?"}'' no whammy guy.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{At around the part when the fangs are added.}'' That is a slick logo!

'''MATT:''' It looks like it would go smooth, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Hmmmhmm... a lozenge.

'''MATT:''' He's got a new, a new computer.

'''MIKE:''' The Tangerine Dream is gone.

'''MATT:''' It is. What is this called?

'''MIKE:''' ''{quietly}'' Umm... ''{giggles}'' Monosodium Dreams?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That's what I called it.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{while Matt is chuckling}'' I don— I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Umm... Look, look this is gonna tell you what's for lunch today!

'''MIKE:''' I changed... we never put it up, I did another version where instead of the cartwheel guy—

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

'''MIKE:''' I did some hightops that are moonwalking.

'''MATT:''' Ha, ha, yeah! Why didn't we put those in?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know maybe we'll throw those in as an Easter egg here.

'''MATT:''' Steg? ''{short pause}'' Sometimes ''{Mike can be heard saying "Steg?" in the background}'' I call them stegs.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? I've never heard you call him that.

'''MATT:''' Well, maybe that you're not around. When I, when I do that.

'''MIKE:''' I guess, I guess not. I'm kinda glad.

'''MATT:''' Mmm-hmmm.

''{brief pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, here's a postcard, that our friend Ryan, sent us.

'''MATT:''' You probably don't wanna read that out loud.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it just says "We got to see these mountains and the park around sunset time. It was beautiful and had a pink hue to the whole range."

'''MATT:''' Is this from the Guadalupe mountains?

'''MIKE:''' National Park.

'''MATT:''' Wow. I can't believe Ryan was so poetic.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hmmm.

'''MATT:''' ''{Strong Bad leans on the wall during the "Bread Isle" background.}'' Look at all that bread.

'''MIKE:''' From the Giant Foods upstairs.

'''MATT:''' Supa, supa giant. His a— what's wrong with his eyes, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Well, Matt, let me explain to you about green screen technology! ''{Matt is heard faintly chuckling in the background.}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, why haven't we made this game yet?

'''MATT:''' ''{In response to the words "CHERRY GET!" at the top of the screen}'' Cherry, get! Hah!

'''MIKE:''' Look out for the wet — Oh, wet walnuts.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice explosion, for a game of that caliber. ''{Mike is heard laughing in the background.}'' Yeah, it's the Cheat Commandos explosion— Well, remember how good the Pole Position explosion was? That was like, photo real! I remember thinking it was photo real. Pho-real! Do you think that— People saying "fo' real" comes from? Fo' real? It's short for photo real?

'''MIKE:''' I do.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Strong Bad is now in the laundry room.}'' Umm... So—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Mom likes to watch shows like this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' I that that, I think somewhere in our— Mom's house there's a— a border like that.

'''MATT:''' She may have hot glued some shells some uh...

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupts}'' Uh, no! No.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice looking nautilus though. ''{Mike can be heard doing a short "chuckle"}'' I have to say that nautilus shell? I would put that in my bathroom.

'''MIKE:''' I'd put a Nautilus weight machine in my bathroom.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{As if he was trying to insult Mike}'' Jerk foot!

3D Character Variations

Technochocolate: /* SBCG4AP Variations */

Although made mostly in [[Flash]], and usually 2-dimensional, the characters of [[homestarrunner.com]] have had 3-dimensional variations as well. The biggest case (so far) is [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], where all characters that appear are in 3D.

Blubb-O's

Technochocolate — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:21:52 GMT

Technochocolate: /* Known Menu Items */

__NOTOC__
{{about|restauraunt}} {{forshort|Blubb-O's Commercial}}
[[Image:Blubb-O's.PNG|thumb|"You guessed it...we're called Blubb-O's"]]
'''Blubb-O's''' is the name of a mysterious fast food restaurant in [[Free Country, USA]]. [[Strong Bad]] encounters a [[Drive-Thru Whale|whale-shaped drive-through speaker]] depicting its apparent mascot in [[Drive-Thru]]. However, its name, or even the existence of an actual restaurant, was not revealed until email [[nightlife]], wherein [[Strong Mad]] uses a greasy bag of fast food from Blubb-O's as [[Club Technochocolate]]'s guest list. The restaurant itself remained unseen until the short, [[Blubb-O's Commercial]]. It is not clear where the restaurant is situated, since although the Drive-Thru Whale has appeared in several different places, the exterior of the restaurant has never been shown; it was clearly not in the vicinity of the Whale when the speaker appeared in [[The Field]]. This puzzled Strong Bad, causing him to refer to the "invisible restaurant" which the speaker was presumably associated with.

One of their products is the Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt, which, according to a commercial found in an Easter egg, was introduced when customers stopped buying the Crispy Chicken Melt. Other products include the Blubb-O's Classic, the Original, the Regular, the New Original, the Old Classic, all of which appear to be the exact same product. There is also the Isosceles Fish Sandwich, which apparently no one ever buys. For a limited time, the restaurant is offering the Thick 'n Nasty, which is endorsed by [[Peacey P]]. Non-burger products include the Chipotle Potato Nudules, regular Nudules, and the Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake. [[Ketchup]] packets, coffee stirrers, and grains of salt are also sold on the menu, and are even more expensive than most of its sandwiches. The restaurant boasts that all of its vegetables are hand tossed into a refreshing cascade of water and chopped in mid air. Its slogans include "Come The Heck Down" and "You guessed it... We're called Blubb-O's".

Employees include [[Homestar Runner]], who works at the counter, and [[Coach Z]], who wears a Drive-Thru Whale costume.

[[Marzipan]] does not approve of their service, and has begun a protest to "save the Blubb-O whale", but wants to know whether they use whale meat, or "regular fast food meat", so as to know how strongly to protest them.

[[Matt Chapman]], as Strong Bad, foreshadowed the connection between the Drive-Thru Whale and Blubb-O's in the [[Drive-Thru]] DVD commentary, saying that Blubb-O's would be a good name for the restaurant.

Despite the fact that they have six burgers, four of them priced ranging from $1.99-$4.99, five of them are identical and are only advertised at different angles from each other. The only notably different burger is the Thick 'N Nasty, which has a huge patty, whereas the others appear to have a quarter pound of meat.

==Article discussions==

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 17]] (Apr 21-27) ===
Perhaps another pseudocharacter. How about [[Drive-Thru Whale]] or [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
:I think it might be too soon for a pseudocharacter. We have [[Frank Benedetto]] and possibly [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] in about a month's span. How about another category of article, such as [[TV Shows]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::To do that one, we'd need to expand its prose intro by at least a few sentences. Anyone want to do that? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How 'bout [[Atari 2600]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::This one would also definitely need an expansion of the intro first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Then how 'bout [[Atari Dragon]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::I like the idea of featuring [[Atari 2600]]. Let me take a stab at trying to expand that intro... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::It's probably long enough now by a hair (if anyone can expand a bit more, it would be great, but we can probably live with it now). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 18]] (Apr 28-May 4) ===
How about doing a name used commonly in the website, like [[Dennis]], [[Dan]] or [[Douglas]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say that [[Dan]] is the biggest running gag. However, the intro would need to be expanded in order to get on the FA page. The other two, I think are pretty short. (Though [[Dennis]] is close...) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
::But Dennis has the longest intro. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I do like [[Dennis]] better. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm not convinced either of these is really ready to feature right now. For [[Dan]], the problem is that the intro is too short, making it hard to make a substantial write-up. By contrast, the intro of [[Dennis]] is fine, but there is scant content outside the intro. Remember, the writeup has that link saying '''(more...)'''. We need to have something, and not just a little bit, that makes that link worthwhile, and I don't think Dennis is really there yet. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Then how about doing something entirely different, like [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::That article always has been, and I suspect always will be, too speculatory to belong on our main page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::How about [[Strong Bad's Mount Ridesplace USA]], then? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Hmm, we don't feature places too often, so that could be interesting... not to mention that the article includes one of my favourite jokes in the HR canon: the old Riverquest Safariventure. The intro could possibly use a teeny expansion to make this work, but I generally like the idea. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::MAYBE we could do [[Craig Zobel]] or a secret page on the site? Of course i dont this'll be too popular but [[3d Character Variations]]? would definitely need an expanded intro but id do that if any one wanted me to. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 12:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Well, we were already kind of set for Mount Ridesplace. Is there a reason to do one of your suggestions instead (not a vote but a discussion, remember). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 19]] (May 5-11) ===
[[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:That one would need to be expanded a bit. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Although I like this article, and just expanded it, I would wait on it for now. We don't have that many relationship articles, especially ones fit to feature, and we did feature SB and HR's relationship not long ago. I'd hate for us to exhaust them so soon. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

As much as I feel embarrassed to nominate an article I worked on, what about the [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007]]? Even if we don't take it now, something to get the ball rolling on an empty week... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:09, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
:How about [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]]? At least that one has a picture. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::My 2 ideas are [[sbcg4ap]] or [[sbasaf]] I forgot the squigglies [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 12:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Not [[SBCG4AP]] yet because it is too new. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Yes, HW is definitely right. I'm not sure [[SBASAF]] is really thorough enough for an FA, either, and note that we've already featured [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Ah, yes, I see now that we did feature that before, on the [[HRWiki:Featured_articles/Archive_3#Week_41.2C_2006|41st week of aught-six]]. All right then, how about [[Moron Life Interview - 5 Sep 2005]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::Well, that one would have the same problem as Wbwolf's suggestion, in that it lacks an image. Then again, it isn't absolutely necessary to have an image on our main page article, so we could do either one, in which case I would lean toward JengaJam, since it's a more thorough interview (not to mention that Wbwolf did spent a heck of a lot of time working on that). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::If an image would be needed, the [[:Image:Joss_Whedon_Buffy_Strong_Bad_Shirt.jpg|Joss Whedon]] picture (which was mentioned in the interview) would work. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Sure, that'd work, I guess. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 20]] (May 12-18) ===
Either a week of entertainment running gags or 1 gag featured the whole week. (I think if we only had to pick 1, [[Peanuts]] is the worthiest) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:Well, the only problem with that one is that its intro would have to be DRASTICALLY expanded. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
::How about featuring a classic toon. [[A Jorb Well Done]] is long overdue for being featured. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::A Jorb Well Done is a fine toon, and should definitely be featured. There's even enough enticing trivia to expand on it (namely the bit about it originally being animated in an older style, and then updated. The only toon I know of to go through a reanimationing and style change). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 21]] (May 19-25) ===
A Food or Drinks Running Gag. How about [[General Tso's Chicken]], [[Fluffy Puff]], [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], or [[Homestar Jr.]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:Not exactly running gags, but meh. Fluffy Puffs have been around forever and are clearly important in the H*R universe. I think they'd make a good feature (though the article might need a little improvement). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
::Besides, we already did a foods week [[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection/Discussion_Archive_2007_Weeks_41-52#HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2007.2C_week_41_.28Oct_8-14.29|not that long ago...]] [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] would be a worthy possibility for a week long feature (and it was suggested as a possibility in the earlier discussion). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:::How about a ''clothing'' running gag? Like [[Bowler Hats]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, we already have three people interested in featuring Fluffy Puffs. Can you contribute a bit to the discussion by explaining why you think we ought to look at Bowler Hats instead? Remember, this is a discussion, not a vote, and just throwing out ideas without responding to previous suggestions doesn't really help. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 22]] (May 26-Jun 1) ===

Heading into summer - how about a week of featuring emails which introduced important songs and musical motifs? I'm thinking [[guitar]], [[techno]], [[death metal]], [[different town]], [[concert]], [[candy product]], and end it with [[rock opera]]. Order might be better switched up a little. Believe it or not, none have been featured, and all are of importance to TBC's musical ouevre. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm really tired of these suggestions for running daily FAs. Most of the time, the suggested daily articles usually important enough to be featured for the entire week or too short to be noted at all. The emails noted here are a good example of this problem. [[guitar]] or [[techno]], for example, are very important emails, and should get a week by themselves. In fact, any of the suggested emails should get an entire week. Personally, I'd start with [[techno]] for this week, and leave the rest for a later time. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
::Well, your position is definitely noted. I don't think we do dailies all that often. When we do, it's due to a strong theme and a series of strong contributors to that theme. I would agree that the two emails you cite, along with several of the others, ''could'' get a week to themselves. The fact that they all reside on the nomination list and have never been featured is conspicuous. And this also delves into why we feature articles in the first place - is it to give every article its due, or to give the visitor their due? I think a week of dailies compels the visitor to return, to maybe get active. I think they are good things for the wiki. I can see how others might argue to the contrary, and that's cool. I kinda think this idea is a strong one. Just my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm up for an important place. There always been '''[[The Field]]''', '''[[The Stick]]''' and '''[[Homestar Runner's House]]'''? However, [[The Field]] would '''drastically''' need an intro cleanup, and [[The Stick]] would need an intro cleanup too. [[Homestar Runner's House]] is the best choice, so I'd go with that. That's '''always''' been around since like '''day 5'''. Unless anybody else can think of something else, I'm for Homestar's House. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of the three, I'd say we do [[Homestar Runner's House]]. Of course, The Stick and especially The Field have been around forever, but as you said they need to be updated, so the armless white guy's abode would be the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:Maintenance coming in: We're going to far out in terms of dates right now. We're now talking about eleven weeks ahead of today; we really should keep the discussions a little closer than this.

[[A Folky Tale]]? Full-length toon with quite a bit of content, not to mention funny. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
:I hate to burst your bubble, but if we're going to be featuring A Jorb Well Done for Week 20, then maybe we should do something else, so that we don't have to worry about exhausting everything instantly. I think that's what you said about "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship". I would like to feature this, though; just not so soon. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the comparison is not exactly valid. There are many toon articles that can be featured, but few relationship articles. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Since we already featured [[Happy Fireworks]], how about [[Cardboard Marzipan]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:I guess we could do that. Another thing we should try is [[Fireworks]]. Of course, that one would need to be updated drastically. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, which is too bad, since Fireworks is definitely better connected to July 4th. But then, there's no obligation to do a July 4th article, so there's no harm in doing a one with a loose connection like Carboard Marzi.

The Cheat uses something to both break Trivia Time and throw at Homestar. Does anyone recognize what that object is? In both cases it is the same object. No, The Cheat does not throw the electric grill at Homestar.

:Strong Sad's whole speech in that scene was making fun of hairdressers. Everything in it, from complaining about someone, to talking about how valuable his time is, even the cheat's noises are all riffs on getting your hair done and making fun of the way hairdressers talk to their clients ("does the back look ok?"). The comment about night classes is part of that stereotype and joke. It's not unusual for someone in the service industry, like a cosmetologist, to try and work towards a higher education at the same time. All that to say, nothing in that scene should be taken as information about Strong Sad's character, or the character of Sloshy fans.

I think Saberlord's Scritchascratch Cakemonger The Cheat is a variation, but is real like Senor Cardgage, or another of The Cheat's other costumes. [[User:Justin Master of Nature|Justin Master of Nature]] 19:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think you're supposed to write up here -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]

== What does The Cheat throw? ==

The Cheat uses something to both break Trivia Time and throw at Homestar. Does anyone recognize what that object is? In both cases it is the same object. No, The Cheat does not throw the electric grill at Homestar.
: There's already a fact on the page for what he used <strike>to break TT, but I could SWORN it was the Cooking Device he threw at Homestar. But I can't check right now.</strike> --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
: Eh, never mind. I guess you're right. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== Gorf? ==

"Unintelligible" during The Cheat's score announcement is misspelled "Unitntelligible"
I'm not really sure about this. I think it's purposely spelt that way to ''literally'' make it unintelligible. What do you think?
:No, I'd wager it's a typo. I've coined those kind of unneeded "addendums" as "This Might Be Because...", and I tend to remove them wherever I see them. They don't really add much, and are entirely speculation. -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
::The fact that they fixed it leans heavily toward this NOT being the case, as well. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

== Holy-crap-adorable ==

I can't have been the only one to notice that The Cheat's eyes are HUGE in this email. What do you people think? Design update or just something for this email? --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 16:22, 4 Feb 2008 (UTC)
:I'd say it's just for this email. To make him cuter and more likely to win. But we'll have to see, eh? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
::it better not be permanent. at any rate, it's strange that his eyes were like that for the ''entire'' email, even when strong badandmad are glazing him over ---[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 00:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
:::And that they didn't explain how they got his eyes to look like that. On the other hand, TBC would not do so drastic a change so suddenly at a time like this. ---Alex H.
We will still need to keep our eyes open, though, because unless i am very much mistaken, the cheat's nose is curvier than it normally is, so even if the eyes go back to normal (please oh lord) it's possible the cheat still has a permanent design change here --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 03:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
:My suspicion is that his enlarged eyes were supposed be a result of being glazed. I rubbed glaze all over my eyeballs and they became huge, too, so that's got to be it. It's hard to blink now, though. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::at the risk of going forumy, i have to ask: did it make your nose curve, too? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 07:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

== Gritty Kitty ==

I can't find any pictures online, but isn't the Cat Mess bag and font a visual reference to the Gritty Kitty brand of cat litter from Ren & Stimpy?
:I don't think so [http://www.industrialdisturbance.com/blog/uploaded_images/rs.jpg].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

== Simpsons ==

There's not really any reason to believe the potatoes line is a Simpsons reference. It's quite possible to independantly come up with a line like that.

:An excellent point. Some people once might have said, "Is there anything books can't do?" or, "Pencils, is there anything they can't do?", you get the idea. --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 18:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
::But TBC have referenced The Simpsons a lot in the past... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:::That's never a guarantee they are now. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Since it's not even the exact same wording I'll have to doubt it. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

== Smiling ==

So... we've got down SB and SM smiling, but did anyone else notice that Marzipan has a ridiculously large grin on her face when she puts that leash on Homestar?
...Why do we even have a page for characters smiling, anyway? -Zero.exe
:That's a very good question
::We don't have Marzipan because her mouth is nearly always smiling. And as for your question...we have them because it's ''unusual'' that those characters smile. Their mouths are naturally a frown. [[User:Unbalanced|Unbalanced]] 23:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== Miss America ==

Why does the pet show resemble the Miss America pageant? Is it just the dance contest?--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 03:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
: There's also the place where Strong Bad is quizzing Teh C. on how he'd respond to various questions, such as the "world situation." One would not expect this in your average pet show (I'd hope not anyway; my cat's views on world politics basically come down to "My human rocks because he pets me and feeds me, and to pfargtl with everyone else!") --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, I think that "world situation" thing is a Miss America reference, too. Should we add it to Real-World References? {{User:Neox/sig}}
:::I would propose that as many other beauty pageants feature a "world situation" Q&A, so this is not so much a ref to Miss America as it is to beauty pageants in general. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

== QLD ==

What does it ''actually'' stand for? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== People who... went to college. ==
Strong Sad claims he's taking night classes to "get an education" even though in [[concert]] Strong Bad implied that sloshy's audience (which includes Strong Sad, as he's a sloshy fan) was made up of people who "went to college." I think it's worth noting somewhere, but I don't know how to word it. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 05:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Haihai Strong Bad 
Have you ever thought of entering The Cheat in a pet show? 
Have fun,

''{reads QLD as "Quick, Look Down"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look down?

''{Cut to Homestar kneeling at Strong Bad's feet, holding a spoon with relish on it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahhhh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad kicks Homestar away}'' Braugh! ''{cut back to the Lappy}'' Whoa! Thanks for the warning, Sarah. Homestar's always trying to give me the old relish foot. ''{typing}'' Have I ever entered The Cheat in a pet show? The Cheat? No. But I have entered Saberlord's Scritchascratch Cakemonger The Cheat in plenty! That's his show name acourse. Oh yeah, The Cheat's got papers. He's won Best in Sheen four years in a row!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad rubbing The Cheat with "Schlembaugh's skillet-fried Hoosier [Dough]'Nuts!" The Cheat's eyes are much larger than they usually are.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just sit still! There's three dozen more where that came from. Last year was way too close a race. This year we need a secret weapon. Strong Mad, hand me the Bavarian Cream!

''{Strong Mad holds up a Bavarian Cream doughnut}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sighs}''

''{cut to Strong Sad brushing The Cheat in the laundry room}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And I told him, if he wants to show up thirty minutes late, ''{The Cheat responds}'' then he can find someone else. ''{Strong Sad raises his index finger}'' Because ''my time'' is valuable. Mm-hmm. I'm takin' these night classes, gonna get an education... ''{The Cheat responds. Strong Sad holds up a mirror}'' Does the back look okay?

''{cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch, with Strong Mad looking over the back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' With a rusty fork and a guitar string. Good response! Me too, actually. All right, what if they ask you about the world situation?

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

''{Strong Mad smiles widely}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Meh"! Classic! That'll really knock 'em dead. ''{cut to closeup of Strong Bad}'' Especially that stodgy old Madame Bodewell. That lady's got it in for us. ''{back to the three on the couch}'' Just 'cuz you peed on her dress that one time.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M SORRY.

''{cut to gold plated [[Cat Mess]] trophy with bags of Cat Mess along the side}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Welcome back to the Cat Mess Inbredtational Pet Show, ''{fade into the gym where the contest is taking place, panning along the table}'' where the hotly contested Best In Sheen competition is just getting underway! ''{camera stops on Marzipan and Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, Marzipan. We're gonna clean house this year. ''{two-shot}'' We're gonna clean apartment! We're gonna clean dorm room! We're gonna clean time share! ''{Marzipan puts a leash on Homestar}''

''{cut Strong Bad and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat. This is gonna be a piece of cake for you. It's gonna be a piece of pie! It's gonna be a piece of cobbler! It's gonna be a piece of novelty dessert pizza! Now get out there and do your thing! ''{The Cheat dashes off}''

''{a montage of The Cheat interfering with the show: The Cheat puts a drop of Puke Drops into Mme. Bodewell's water, distracts Pom Pom with a pinup girl and breaks Trivia Time with a toy, gnaws on The King Of Town's low fat grill's power cord, and dances in front of a sign that says "Dance Competition?"}''

''{a wipe with the Pet Show logo reveals Pom Pom and a repaired Trivia Time}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now, for the judges' scores! Pom Pom and Trivia Time: 3.5! Good GPA, terrible pet show score. ''{wipe with the Pet Show logo to The King Of Town}'' The King Of Town and an As Seen on TV Low-Fat Cooking Device: Not supposed to be here!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I told you you'd never amount to anything! I'm not even your real father!

''{wipe with the Pet Show logo to Homestar Runner on his knees with a leash}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And Fluffle's Buffles Scruffle's Truffles Homestar Runner!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My friends call me Scruffle's.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' 8.5! ''{wipe with Pet Show logo to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'' And Saberlord's ''{unintelligible}'' The Cheat: Disqualified for flagrant use of relish foot!

''{cut to Strong Bad's feet, one of which has relish on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Scruffle's wins!

''{cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat, Homestar enters from the left with the leash still on and holding the trophy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, well, Strong Bad. Looks like you finally got a taste of your own medicine. A taste of your own potion. A taste of your own elixir! A taste of your own— ''{The Cheat throws a toy at Homestar and he falls down}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Don't worry, we're currently appealing the decision of the judges. We're also currently a-peeling ''{pull back to a wider shot with The Cheat peeling in a pile of potatoes}'' POTATOES! ''{Strong Bad jumps into the pile and a banner and confetti comes down}''

''{The [[New Paper]] comes down and the screen darkens}''

''{after a short pause}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat. Do you think we successfully glossed over the fact we lost the competition?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, is there anything potatoes can't do?

Well, it's very big of you to admit that. ''{beep}'' Quivering Live Dwarves! Uh... That's my new album name. ''{beep}'' Quit lumbering down. Hey, I'm not lumbering down!

*:'''OLD TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yesss, good show, The Sneak! You've got more infectious diseases than any other vermin here!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*QLD is the abbreviation for [[Wikipedia: Queensland|Queensland]] in Australia.
*The Cheat having "[[Wikipedia:Pedigreed animal documentation|papers]]" means that he has proof of being a [[Wikipedia:Purebred|purebred]].
*The pet show seems to be a cross between [[Wikipedia: Miss America|Miss America]] contest and [[Wikipedia: AKC National Championship|American Kennel Club National Championship]].
*Long names, like those given to The Cheat and Homestar, are commonly given to show animals as a way of showing lineage and distinguish them as unique animals.
*Relish foot is a play on [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hotfoot hotfoot].
* In American slang, the exclaimation "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meh meh]" stands for one of indifference, neutrality, or just plain uncaring.

[[Image:HomestarLeash.png|thumb|150px|Homestar free from Marzipan's leash.]]

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#monkey island|monkey island]]".

[[Image:Relish Foot.PNG|thumb|150px|left|Lemme turn around real quick...]]

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad deposits the hairbrush into and retrieves the mirror from [[Hammerspace|hammerspace]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad looks down at his "relish foot", he is facing the table. When the screen moves down so that the viewer can see the relish foot, we can see from his thumbs that he's facing away from the table. When Homestar arrives, Strong Bad is suddenly facing the table again.

===Fixed Goofs===
*"Unintelligible" during The Cheat's score announcement was misspelled "Unitntelligible". This was fixed the next day.
*At the end where Strong Bad jumps into the pile of potatoes, the text on the Lappy was displayed upside down.
*For the first few seconds right when the toon went to Homestar's and Marzipan's score announcement, the rope on Homestar's leash was not connected to the collar and was folded upward.
*When the camera first panned to Homestar and Marzipan, the wooden floor remained stationary.

===Inside References===
*"Inbredtational" is a [[portmanteau]] of "inbred" and "invitational".
* Cat Mess previously appeared in [[lady fan]].
* The King Of Town says he's not the Cooking Device's real [[Parents|father]].
* This is another example of [[Pom Pom's girls]].
* Strong Mad [[Strong Mad smiling|smiles]], and [[Strong Bad smiling|so does Strong Bad]].
* [[Trivia Time]] being [[Pom Pom]]'s entry refers to its original purpose as Pom Pom's pet, before the idea was discarded by The Brothers Chaps.
* "As Seen on TV Low-Fat Cooking Device" is another use of [[Nondescript Nouns]].

===Real-World References===
*The "As Seen on TV Low-Fat Cooking Device" closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:George Foreman Grill|George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine]] brand portable grill.
*This email was released two days after the 2008 [[Wikipedia: AKC National Championship|American Kennel Club National Championship]] dog show.
*The object that The Cheat uses to break Trivia Time and to throw at Homestar is the front 1/3 of a {{p|l=http://www.bugeyedmonster.com/toys/starbird/ Milton Bradley Starbird}} from 1978. There is a long tail section that could be removed with a variety of spaceship parts that could be reconfigured. Seen here is the Starbird's Command Module with its two flashing "lasers" in the front.
* The music during The Cheat's montage strongly resembles the music from the TV game show ''[[Wikipedia:The Price Is Right|The Price Is Right]]''.
*The description of this email in [[New Stuff]] ("''The Cheat has freaking papers, Dude''") is a reference to [[The Big Lebowski]].

''"Hey pard'ner, what's that on your head? In this zany new game, it's pigs stacked high to the heavens. But be careful, one false move sends these curly-tailed oinkers tumbling to the ground!"'' -[[Videlectrix]]

'''Pigs on Head''' is a game made by Videlectrix.

In both modes of the game, the object is to catch the pigs on Pageboy's head and give them to either Hank or Frank. If Pageboy fails to catch a pig, it's destroyed and Pageboy loses a life. Lose all three, and the game is over. Pageboy can only carry 10 pigs on his head at one time.

In Mode A, you control all three characters at once.

In Mode B, Hank and Frank move up and down the ladders in a predetermined pattern (when Hank goes up, Frank goes down and vise-versa).

The number of points you earn for dropping off pigs is directly related to the number of rungs up Hank/Frank are on the ladder. Therefore, the bottom rung (or one pig on head) is worth 1 point, while the top rung is worth 10.

'''Page Title:''' Pigs on Head - Handheld Gamings-on!

== Instructions ==
'''GAME A''' - Help '''PAGEBOY''' catch the falling pigs! Before they stack up too high, take them over to '''HANK''' or '''FRANK''' on the ladders to unload them. You control all 3 characters in this mode. 
'''GAME B''' - You only control '''PAGEBOY''' in this mode. Catch pigs and unload them on '''HANK''' or '''FRANK''' ...''if they're around!''

== Controls ==
*In both modes, use the left and right arrow keys to move Pageboy left and right.
*In Mode A, use the Q and A buttons to move Hank (the individual on the left ladder) and the up and down arrows to move Frank (the individual on the right ladder) up and down.
*You can also directly click the D-Pad and buttons with your mouse to get the same effect.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Pigs on Head" first appeared in [[2 emails]]. As the email is being fast-fowarded, [[Strong Bad]] can be seen playing the PC version of the game on his computer.
**The game also makes a cameo appearance (along some other Videlectrix games) in [[anything]]. It's one of the "Sega tapes" that [[Homestar Runner]] makes into a coaster.

===Remarks===
[[Image:PoH Game.jpg|thumb|Before...]]
*Neither Hank nor Frank can be seen in the email "2 emails" (the PC version).
*The kid on the box art has blue hair like [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman.]]
*Using Flash Decompiler, you can see what was actually on the handheld game before they added the flash attachments.

===Real-World References===
*The LCD version of the game is specifically designed after the generic look of the [[Wikipedia:Game & Watch|Game & Watch]] series of LCD games produced by Nintendo from 1980 to 1991. It uses elements of multiple real Game & Watch games, such as the catching/stacking element from Oil Panic.
* The three character control style is much like the style found in the game [[Wikipedia:Image:Gamewatch_mariobros_open.JPG|Mario Bros.]] for the Game & Watch.
*The game parodies the old Kickman and [[Wikipedia:Pooyan|Pooyan]] arcade games.
