Halloween Costumes

Upsilon: Added links

Each year, the Halloween Cartoons feature the characters dressed in different costumes, usually of pop icons and celebrities.

The costumes are generally "vintage," in that they feature characters who were either popular in the '80s and '90s, or just plain obscure, although it is uncertain if this is simply a style choice, or done deliberately to give the cartoons a more "timeless" feel.

Upsilon: Added divide line under Heart of a Lion

Like [[Ducks]], '''Lions''' are one of the few real animals that are constantly mentioned in the Homestar universe.

== Appearances ==
=== [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Gift Exchange Lion|Gift Exchange Lion]] ===
[[Image:giftexchangelion.png|thumb|right|170px|Gift Exchange Lion]]
A Lion (that seems to be missing a leg) that appears in [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]]. [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], and [[The Ugly One]] all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but [[What's Her Face]] declines.

=== "It's a lion!" ===
[[Image:Its_A_Lion.PNG|thumb|left|170px|The "It's a lion!" lion]]
A [[Powered by The Cheat]] lion that shows up in the surreal [[Experimental Film]]. It appears on the screen of the [[ATM]], wearing [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s hat and captioned '''"it's a lion!"''' The phrase "It's a lion!" also appears later in Experimental Film.

Killingyouguy

Upsilon — Mon, 25 Jul 2005 13:45:46 GMT

Upsilon: Removed stunt double references - that is not Killingyouguy

[[Image:killingyouguy.gif|thumb|Lurking in the Darkness]]
[[Image:strong_sad_as_killingyouguy.png|thumb|left|220px|Getting! Dizzy! Blacking! Out!]]

'''Killingyouguy''' is [[Perducci]]'s secret weapon, played by [[Strong Mad]], but credited as "Himself". He has cut and bullet hole scars in the form of [[Sticky Notes|Post-it notes]]. For the scenes where he is in shadow, [[The Cheat]] actually paints him black.

Killingyouguy is quickly knocked out of commission by [[Dangeresque too]] in ''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?''. However, in this scene, Killingyouguy is not played by Strong Mad, but by a stunt double, [[Strong Sad]].

Would the combined image [[:Image:Killingyouguyscenes.PNG]] help out this page? [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 21:48, 10 Feb 2005 (MST)
:My font size is small, so I have no problems with this. When I increase the font size, though, I see some problems. Anyway, I'm neutral on the issue. [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 23:31, 10 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Killingyouguy in Dangeresque 2 ==

"He was obliquely revived in Dangeresque 2, when Dangeresque tells him to "Either give me that tape, or punch me in the face." Killingyouguy choses the latter."

Looks like it's just Strong Mad in Dangeresque 2. I guess it's a reasonable conclusion that the original editions of both movies didn't have a costume for Stong Mad, and then they made him into Killingyouguy when they remastered Dangeresque 1. Or something. On second thought, I guess it still makes sense to call him Killingyouguy, even if he has no costume.

:There's no reason to assume that the character played by Strong Mad in Dangeresque 2 is Killingyouguy. There's a [[Unnamed Bad Guy|new villain]] in Dangeresque 2, which implies new henchmen. For the meantime, I'm going to remove this comment from the article. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Strong Bad gathers records for the "Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records".

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[King of Town's Castle]], [[The Field]]

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' July 25, 2005

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Drape it over your aaaaaaarms, step out in styyyyyle, Strong Bad Emaaaaaaail... ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: records</div>
dear strong bad, 
i was wondering if you were in the record book. if so, 
what for? 
nathan, tx</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "tx" as "Tee-Ex", as in the individual letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oooh, the Nathan TX! That has, like, way four more cylinders than the standard Nathan. Better Blue Book value, too. I can't remember if I'm in the record book or not. Seems like I should be. Let's take a look. A book-look!

''{Cut to a table. Strong Bad places "THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS The Book!" on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see what we got in here.

''{He opens the book to page 42. The page shows a picture of a really dirty Coach Z with an afro and moustache, and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Longest Showering Streak 65 Days, 3 Hours, 42 Minutes: COACH Z."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sixty-five days?! That's ''way'' outdated! I'm pretty sure he's surpassed that one by several fortnights at this point.

''{Turns to page 116. This page shows young Strong Bad in a diaper and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Dirtiest Diapey, Very, Very Dirty: LIL' STRONG BAD."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape— Whoa! ''{throws eggs, bacon, and coffee on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee eggs bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.

''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, holding a magnifying glass and writing on grains of rice. His face is slitghtly magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering up new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of Bazmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record!

''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!

''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker sitting near the pile. The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!

''{The King seems to hiccup three times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?

''{The King "hiccups" again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!

''{Another buzzer, another page that reads "Chapter 3 - Disgusting Eating/Old Person Records, Least Healthiest (Man?): The King of Town." The King "hiccups" again.}''

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field on his soapbox, which now reads "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you call a redneck, with no teeth, that watches stock car racing all day? Ba-ha-ha-haaa! Man, they do not wear shirts!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with gum on his face. Music starts.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for it!

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm just me! Can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

''{Homestar pops up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does a redneck man call some dead possum, lyin' in the middle of the road? Ba-ha-ha-haa! Probably sushi!

''{An unseen audience groans.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I think we're just about done here. Strong Mad set the record ''{A page of the book that reads "Chapter 2 - Special Records, Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube... By Strong Mad (Just One!): Strong Mad." The picture shows Strong Mad holding his tube.}'' for Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube...By Strong Mad. ''{Another page, "Chapter 11 - Records of Smell/Track and Field, Pole Vault, 20 ft. 1.5 in.: Marzipan" appears. This one has no picture, and instead there is a black box that reads "Suprisingly, No Photo Available."}'' Marzipan set the World Record for the pole vault. And Bubs won Cutest Couple. ''{Yet another page, this one reading "Chapter 9 - Superlatives, Cutest Couple: Bubs" with a picture of Bubs (and no one else) trying to look cute.}'' Oh, wait, I forgot about me. I ''gots'' to get in this record book somehow. I'll get the record for...

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing nearby.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! "Most rectangular mouth?!" My mouth can be round!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a bunch of bull ''{making his mouth as round as possible}'' hooOOooo00o00000oOOOOOOOeeOOOo0000—

''{A buzzer is heard, followed by a page appears that reads "Chapter 7 - Saying Words For A Long Time Records, Longest 'Bull Honkey', 13.4 Seconds: The Human Strong Bad." The picture shows Strong Bad in the same position he was just seen in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —nkey. Bull honkey.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Instead of the normal Back button, Count Longardeaux's image has a speech bubble reading "Back" in its place.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on notebook paper.
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX" appears, which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labelled "built-in smoke" (pointing to its exhaust), "three front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt.
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second redneck joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardness, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===

===Remarks===
*Little Strong Bad is referred to as "Lil' Strong Bad" in the record book, rather than with the proper abbrevation "Li'l."
*As of July 25, 2005, the women's world record for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. The men's world record was 20 ft, 1.75 in.
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Boll Honkey" for 10.5 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo– bit lasts for 7.9 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to the end of the email is close to 13.4 seconds.

===Goofs===
*Count Longardeaux's book apparently has two chapter sevens — one for "Records of Loneliness" and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."
*Even after the King of Town inhales the saltshaker, the place on the table where it sat can still be clicked for the easter egg.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z was seen with an afro and mustache in [[stand-up]].
*The salt shaker the King of Town is seen eating from is from [[Meet Marshie]].
*The [[Soap Box]] Homestar stands on has been seen before in [[fingers]] and [[army]], with labels reading 11 and 12 respectively (in this email it reads 13).
*Strong Bad says "You gotta some hiccups?" after the King of Town eats the salt, much like he did in Holloween Fairstival

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:Paradise Lost|Paradise Lost]]'' was an epic blank-verse poem written in 1667 by English poet [[Wikipedia:John Milton|John Milton]].

Dr. Christmas

Upsilon — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 15:45:09 GMT

Upsilon: The Decemberween --> Decemberween

[[Image:drxmas.png|thumb|Bubs as Dr. Christmas]]

'''Dr. Christmas''' (aka "Cornbread") was one of the central characters in the story of [[Decemberween|Decemberween's]] origin. He was a companion of [[Archibald]] but their friendship was inconsistent, as evidenced by their fight to the death on Mount Rushmore (which was never seen). He is very similar to Santa Claus and presumably is affiliated with Christmas in some way, which is kind of weird because no one in Free Country seems to celebrate Christmas.

'''Running Time:''' 5:10

'''Page Title:''' Don't...kill...bugs.

==Transcript==

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''TV VOICE''': And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''(Strong Bad enters.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labelled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{turns on the TV}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, are you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the Homestar Runner Theme Song}'' Homestar is running along. Homestar – ''{he suddenly stops and starts coughing profusely}'' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm down. Remember health class. ''(goes down on one knee, speaks slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating chocolate lollipops.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{greeting bubbling noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug! ''{kneels down in front of the King of Town}'' The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Give me them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the lollipops}'' We'll freeze them out! ''{scarfs the lollipops}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hey! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' It deliciously didn't work! ''{pokes Pom Pom with the lolly stick}'' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy.

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or… nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh yeah, and go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labelled "EXHIBIT A" with a candle.}''

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in and Bubs drops the candle and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? A bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of business cards}'' Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator… Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside; Homestar makes a noise}'' Yes. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' Interesting. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas. But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here! ''{picks up a cooler labelled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a frying pan in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I –

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkell.

''{Homestar leaves then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have –

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pops up from behind the couch}'' Strong Bad – ''{Strong Bad hits him with his pan}'' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out who shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's no way I'm missing that one. No way.

''{Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' That was a great skillet nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Strong Bad is duct-taped to the TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't… miss… any of the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've ''what''? ''{tears his head from the TV}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You-ka – wha?

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runner, did you shoot Caleb?

''{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing sunglasses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You traitor! You shot my favourite TV show! ''(throws the remote at Homestar's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hiccup. ''(the bug flies out of his mouth}'' Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug ''did'' fly in my mouth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh… the good times are ''definitely'' over.

''{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The world is saved! I found the blue ones!

''{end.}''

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''TV VOICE''': And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''(Strong Bad enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labelled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{turns on the TV}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, are you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the Homestar Runner Theme Song}'' Homestar is running along. Homestar – ''{he suddenly stops and starts coughing profusely}'' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm down. Remember health class. ''(goes down on one knee, speaks slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating chocolate lollipops.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{greeting bubbling noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug! ''{kneels down in front of the King of Town}'' The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Give me them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the lollipops}'' We'll freeze them out! ''{scarfs the lollipops}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hey! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' It deliciously didn't work! ''{pokes Pom Pom with the lolly stick}'' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy.

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or… nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh yeah, and go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labelled "EXHIBIT A" with a candle.}''

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in and Bubs drops the candle and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? A bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of business cards}'' Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator… Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside; Homestar makes a noise}'' Yes. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' Interesting. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas. But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here! ''{picks up a cooler labelled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a frying pan in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I –

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkell.

''{Homestar leaves then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have –

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pops up from behind the couch}'' Strong Bad – ''{Strong Bad hits him with his pan}'' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out who shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's no way I'm missing that one. No way.

''{Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' That was a great skillet nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Strong Bad is duct-taped to the TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't… miss… any of the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've ''what''? ''{tears his head from the TV}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

[[Image:thedevil.png|thumb|right|220px|Hell circa 1936]]

'''Hell''' is the place where the wicked are sent after death; more specifically, where [[Sir Strong Bad]] went after falling off the cliff in [[Parsnips-a-Plenty]]. [[The Devil]] and [[The Kaiser]] can also be found in this [[1936]] version of the underworld. Apparently, though, this version of Hell is not eternal, since the Strong Bad is back again in [[That A Ghost]].

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

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

Apart from this article being poorly worded, I don't recall a company called "Compy, Inc" ever being mentioned explicitly in any toon. Yes, we can assume that some company made the Compy 386, and the name of that company might easily be Compy, Inc, but we can't make articles based on assumptions. Furthermore, even if we did establish that this company exists in the H*R universe, unless we had some information about the company that couldn't be concisely summarized on the [[Compy 386]] page, there's no reason for this page to exist. In other words, I'm looking for a reason not to delete this. Anybody?

Compy is a company mentioned explicitly by a character in the H*R Universe. This stub allows the company to be correctly placed in the Companies category. I think that justifies its existence. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:48, 12 Mar 2005 (CST)

==Lyrics==

The color of infinity 
Inside an empty glass 
I'm squinting my eye 
And turning off and on and on 
and off the light

It's for this experimental film 
Which nobody knows about, and which 
I'm still figuring out what's going to go 
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film 
And even though I can't explain it 
I already know how great it's

I already know the ending 
It's the part that makes your face implode 
I don't know what makes your face implode 
But that's the way the movie ends

And in my experimental film 
Which nobody knows about, but which 
After figuring out, your face implodes 
It's my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film 
And even though I can't explain it 
I already know how great it— 
Even though I can't explain it 
I already know how great it's

The color of infinity 
Inside an empty glass 
It's for this experimental film 
Which nobody knows about, and which 
I'm still figuring out what's going to go 
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film 
And even though I can't explain it 
I already know how great it's gonna— 
Yeah, you're gonna be in this experimental film 
And even though I can't explain it 
I already know how great it— 
Even though I can't explain it 
I already know how great it's

== Easter Eggs ==

*You can click on "Directed by Strong Sad & The Cheat" before the video starts to get a commentary by the directors. Okay, maybe a little more than the directors.

== Commentary Transcript ==

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hello, this is Strong Sad—

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat makes The Cheat noises which sounds like, "And The Cheat!"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and we're the co-directors of this video.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Meh!}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, so my portion of this video details the life of a very lonely individual named Rondell who can't deal with the decisions of day-to-day life.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We interrupt this whining to bring you this important headline: "World bored to death by Strong Sad commentary."

'''STRONG SAD:''' Agh, what are you doing here? You're hardly even in this video!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well I woulda been the one directing it if weren't for those Super Giant guys.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's not what they're called.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever they're called, that one right there with the glasses, he started talking all these vocabulary words at me and confusin' me and the next thing I know, I was relegated to this crappy bit part. ''{Referring to the top of two heads (one is wearing glasses, likely They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh)}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, "relegated" sounds like a vocabulary word.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll relegate your face to a...bloody pulp!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Coffee was being hit with a drumstick}'' {The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, that part represented hitting coffee with a drumstick. Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{upon seeing a picture captioned "our gracious host"}'' Ahh! More like our "I'll murder you in a back alley" host.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, so this next part ''{referring to tiny Cheats erupting from cracks in Rondell's hands}'' is an allusion to one of my very favorite experimental films called--

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boring Johnny and the Get Bored Crew.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{exasperated}'' Would you quit it with the "boring" comments?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, if it weren't for that tentacle skull riding the old-timey bike, this video would have nothin'!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{barely comprehensible}'' You don't like the video, huh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yeah, the first question on that pop quiz was, "Are you all going to be in my experimental film?" ''{Referring to Pop Quiz in clip}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{the tentacle skull is seen in ink on lined paper}'' Oh, look, there he is! Keep on old-timey bikin', tentacle-skull. ''{Gavin is seen}'' Hey, is that Gavin? I didn't know he was in this video. He's got, like, as much screen time as I do!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys, is this the Super Giants video?

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's not what they're—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. But they cut us out of it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, weird—then why'd they bother getting somebody who looks just like me? ''{Seeing himself in the clip}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, that is you, I just mean they mostly—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Seeing Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the clip}'' And that guy looks just like you! And that big guy ''{referring to Strong Mad}'' looks just like Coach Z!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now this part accurately represents what it feels like to watch this video. ''{Ticking clock shown}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{exasperated}'' Ohhh! This next part ''{as a film with Rondell's face on tears, ignites and disappears to reveal an animated Rondell}'' is all about Rondell's transformation into a new man.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I thought you said that was just an accident that happened because you loaded the film wrong. ''{Rondell turns into animated Rondell}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{embarassed}'' Uhh, why don't you shut up, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno... 'cause I guess I got a lot of stuff to say.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{when he, Strong Mad and Homestar are seen dancing}'' Check out my dance! Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe! ''{The Cheat joins in}'' Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe! ''{Homestar joins in}'' Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe! Ooh, ah, ooh side-swipe!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ahhh, this is the worst commentary ever!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I've been saying this whole time!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, me too. Worst commissary ever!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{during the portion where components of the film are seen pogoing}'' At this point reality and fantasy have collided and everybody... pogos.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{as an animated Rondell walks up to an animated ATM}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{angry}'' What do you mean you tried to be as dumpy-accurate as possible?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Strong Bad is seen dancing, with the words "Real Smooth Moves" is seen above him}'' Let's talk about how "Real Smooth Moves" is like the best band name ever. The old Supreme Giants boys could take a cue from that one.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as an animated table with a muffin on is seen}'' I'm gonna take a cue from that kitchen table and go get me a blueberry muffin!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ohh, what a disaster. I hope I still get paid.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*This toon was made for the first single from They Might Be Giants' tenth studio album ''[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/The_Spine The Spine]''. The song is called [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Experimental_Film "Experimental Film"].

*The two head-tops belong to They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh and John Linnell. The one on the left is Flansburgh, as he has black hair and wears glasses, and the one on the right is Linnell.

*The answers for the "pop quiz" most likely refer to the [[Wikipedia:Cotton gin|cotton gin]], an invention that revolutionized the cotton-growing industry; [[Wikipedia:Appomattox, Virginia|Appomattox, Virginia]], a town famous as the location where the American Civil War ended; and the all-time career record for home runs in Major League Baseball (755), set by baseball player [[Wikipedia:Hank Aaron|Hank Aaron]]. The first question was "Are you all going to be in my experimental film?"

=== Trivia ===
*This toon was originally posted on [[The Brothers Chaps]]'s [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/ thoraxcorp.com], but was quickly taken down.

*This toon was released at approximately midnight, Atlanta time, on 13 July 2004—the release date of ''The Spine''.

*As of January 2005, the toon is now available [http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.app.store.DirectAction/viewVideo?b=a&videoId=41146400 through the iTunes Music Store] (requires iTunes)

*The joystick Homestar is using is for an Atari 2600.

*According to [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.07/play.html this Wired interview], TMBG will be making a separate video for the MTV crowd. Choice quote: "I feel like if MTV and Homestar collided, the world might explode."

*Despite "resolving not to feel so bad about wanting to hit Homestar so much" (see Strong Sad's Blog), the commentary shows the first time that Strong Sad has stood up to Homestar. As expected, Homestar doesn't take him very seriously.

=== Remarks ===
*The first line of the song is "The color of infinity inside an empty glass." Strong Sad's glass is full.

*The wrecking ball that swings between Strong Sad and the [[ATM]] in one shot is actually the swinging light bulb painted black.

*Even though Strong Sad says he can't jump in his blog, he jumps here and in A Jumping Jack Contest.

=== Goofs ===
*The clock has 6 seconds between the 3 and the 4.

=== Inside References ===
*Gavin, the cockroach from the Easter egg in [[personal favorites]], makes a cameo appearance.

*When It's a lion! pops up for the first time, the lion is wearing Homestar's hat.

*Near the end, the crowd flips the cards to a picture of an olive on a toothpick. This was the eye from the [[Homestar Jr.]] in [[Where's The Cheat?]]

*When the people in the grandstands flip the scenery cards to the mountain scene, it slightly resembles [[Main Page 2]].

*"Our gracious host" bears a striking resemblence to [[Monte Negro]] in [[Malloween Commercial]].

====They Might Be Giants References====
*United States presidents are [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Presidents a common theme] in TMBG's work; they have no fewer than five songs about U.S. presidents, an album called ''Lincoln'', and frequently mention presidents in songs and on stage. Their [http://www.tmbg.com website] is also presidentially themed.
**It should be noted, however, that while the band chose the album title ''Lincoln'' fully aware of its presidential overtones, the album is actually named after Lincoln, Massachusetts—the town where the two Johns grew up.

*The Tentacle Skull (seen riding the bicycle) is another [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Skulls frequent TMBG theme]. In addition to being mentioned in several of their songs, it appears on the cover of their ''[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Back_To_Skull Back to Skull]'' EP and on the back of their ''[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/John_Henry John Henry]'' album. The skull might also be the [http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Skullivan Skullivan], as mentioned in the companion EP for ''The Spine'', ''[http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/The_Spine_Surfs_Alone_(EP) The Spine Surfs Alone]''.

*[http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Coffee Coffee] is yet another common theme in the work of TMBG. The earliest videos and promotional matierials from the 80's show TMBG with cups of coffee. In the film ''[http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Gigantic Gigantic]'', TMBG confesses that they are insanely dependent on coffee.
*In the commentary, both Strong Bad and Homestar get TMBG's name totally wrong (both "Super Giants" and "Supreme Giants" are mentioned). This is, of course, not the first time this has happened. In fact, one of their early EPs included [http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Untitled an answering machine message] in which two people discuss "There Must Be Giants" and "There May Be Giants" and appear to be confused about the whole experience. Also on their song They Got Lost on their live album Severe Tire Damage, the song starts with an announcement of "Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for They Must Be Giants!"

*The finger that comes up at one point might be a reference to the thumb on the cover of TMBG's "Dial-a-Song" album.

=== Real World References ===
*Strong Sad meeting the Grim Reaper through split screens is a reference to Ingmar Bergman's ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050976/ The Seventh Seal]''.

*Much of the imagery, and especially the scenes of Strong Sad watching film sprocket holds go by, is likely a reference to one of the first great experimental films, ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019760/ The Man with a Camera]'' by Dziga Vertov, which has a section in which the sides of the film are exposed, and the characters look outside their own frame/world at the holes running by.

*Ants crawling out of holes in Strong Sad's hands is a reference to Luis Bunuel's ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020530/ Un Chien Andalou]'' ("An Andalusian Dog").
**The "ants" are actually little The Cheats.
**"Un Chien Andalou" is the inspiration for the song "Debaser" by the Pixies. Frank Black, lead singer of the Pixies, is close friends with They Might Be Giants, and has toured with them.

*The scene of Strong Sad shaving is possibly a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038109/ Spellbound]''.

*In the commentary, "Worst Commentary Ever" is probably a reference to the [http://www.thesimpsons.com/ Simpsons], where the Comic Book Guy is always saying "Worst [something] ever.".
**The phrase is something of an inside joke in Simpsons lore. Some history ''[http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=451131 Here]''

*The swinging light is an image found at the end of Alfred Hitchcock's ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054215/ Psycho]'', and was also used at the end of TMBG's music video for ''[http://tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/The_Guitar The Guitar]''.

*The "color of infinity" line in the chorus may be a reference to ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0241317/ The Colours of Infinity]'', a 1995 television documentary by Arthur C. Clarke about fractal geometry. IMDb says: "This show relates the science of the M-Set to nature in a way that seems to identify the hand of God in the design of the universe itself."

*The shot of the ATM with a football helmet chasing Strong Sad may be a reference to [http://www.3drealms.com/keenhistory/ Commander Keen], Defender of the Universe, who wore a helmet with an identical design when saving the day!

*In the commentary, Strong Bad interrupts Strong Sad with the phrase "Boring Johnny and the Get Bored Crew". This is most likely a reference to the hip hop group "Doug E. Fresh And The Get Fresh Crew".

This should be renamed Secret Desert. Clearly the desert itself, which this article is about, should not be called Secret Desert ''Headquarters''.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser.

''{Cut to a screen of the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." Then cut to the field, where Strong sad is standing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, now reading "Another while later..." Cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh... I'm - I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food (which looks like it might be [[General Tso's Chicken]]), grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**The cake easter egg will not work on some computers, probably because the cake is stored in a separate Flash file.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper". ''(also see Inside References)''
[[Image:thecheat_physiology.png|thumb|Only one organ is present]]
*The Cheat only seems to have one organ and no veins, and if the organ is the brain, then The Cheats might not use any form of blood, which, due to the non-existence of nerve endings, would make it impossible for The Cheats to feel pain, despite the fact that The Cheat does frequently. However, given the location of the organ, and the fact that it has a tube extending from it to the mouth, it could possibly be the stomach. On the other hand, the position (behind the ribs) and appearance of the organ might be the heart.

===Remarks===
*It's strange that Strong Bad arrives at the black and white monitor theory. With such a monitor, "big white face and gray body" could describe every character except Bubs, Pom Pom, and the Cheat (who would all turn out gray-faced) and Marzipan and Strong Mad (who were already ruled out due to their shape).
*It's also strange that Strong Bad says he's been hard on the Poopsmith, since in [[your friends]], he says he did nothing to the Poopsmith because, on account of the Poopsmith's profession, "his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof."
* In the part where Strong Bad says "Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second...", he's actually typing it, meaning he's sending a reply. Because it's a reply, he should have said "you", not "she".

===Goofs===
*If the contrast is changed before the Mac desktop comes up, then the Mac desktop appears blue instead of grey.
*Strong Sad's face isn't affected by contrast change.

===Inside References===
*"Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper" ''(see Trivia)'' is a reference to [[caper]].
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".

===Real-World References===
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Oddly enough, an early Macintosh would have been running on a [[Wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processor, not on an Intel processor.
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.
*The old timey Mac wallpaper has a floppy disk icon that reads "The Manhole," one of the first computer games by Cyan, the company that would go on to make Myst.

Upsilon — Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:02:08 GMT

Upsilon: An Ogre

Um, some poor soul got WikiTrolled for adding "false" nicknames that were 100% genuine. The problem is that he slightly misattributed them - they weren't in kids' book per se, they were in Strumstar Hammer (the fake version of the original book.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:43, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

:My fault. I searched on [[kids' book]] and didn't see the nicknames, so I assumed it was a troll. I should've searched the names before I accused him. I'll remove him from [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] and clean up all this mess. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

:: Yeah, it's okay. Enough troll edits will make you paranoid, I know. Just hope we didn't offend him. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:37, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

:::I doubt he even knew he was on WikiTroll (or even what WikiTroll is). →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]
:::: I thought he might have been blocked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:49, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Wrestle-name==
Wasn't Homestar referring to Strong Mad when he talked about the 'two-bit wrestleman'? After all, he didn't know that Strong Bad was on Strong Badia's side before he saw him playing badminton. Thus, shouldn't 'two-bit wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Mad nickname, but 'Wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Bad nickname?
:From the transcript of [[army]]:
::''{scene changes to The Stick}''

::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog?

::'''CROWD''': YEAH!
:I think Homestar is talking about Strong Bad and The Cheat here. I don't think Homestar refers to Strong Mad at all in the email. From reading the rest of Homestar's speech, it would seem he is referring to other things that either Strong Bad has done or Strong Bad has.
:So as of right now, the nicknames listed are correct in this respect.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:52, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Meatball Face Butt ==

*Meatball Face Butt (Strong Bad, [[dangeresque 3]])

I removed this because Meatball Face Butt isn't technically attributed by Strong Bad to Homestar. It's given by [[Dangeresque]] to [[Dangeresque too|Dangeresque]]. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 05:45, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

== An Ogre ==

*an ogre (Marzipan, [[dreamail]])

Surely this doesn't count as a nickname? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 06:02, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

'''Strong Bad Email #59'''

Strong Bad tries to prove that Marzipan loves him.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Marzipan]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' January 20, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:14

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' There once was a man named email, and he did his best for a while.

''{Reading email}''

<pre>Strong Bad,
So, if you're so good with the ladies,
how come I never see you with any? The
only female I've seen even near you is
Marzipan, and she doesn't seem to
like you very much.

Ok, bye.
Emily C., Ohio</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads the email as "The only female I've eev see sageento--" before correcting himself. Also, he pronounces "Ohio" as "O-wah-ho"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What are you talkin about, Emily? Marzipan can't keep her hands offa me! In fact, I had to change my screen name cause she was buggin me so much. ''{clears screen}'' I'd be like, tryin' to write an email like... ''{typing}'' "Dear The Cheat" ''{stops typing}'' And then ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: 'sup strong bad? i heart you so much."}'' it'd come up, and I'd be like close the window. ''{closes message, continues typing}'' "Anyways, The Cheat, I was going" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: i like all your muscles," Strong Bad closes it}'' "to ask you" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: do you go hooray 4 dolphins? i do," Strong Bad closes it}'' "if I could borrow" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: (typed in Webdings font) i seriously hope you didn't somehow decode this. it would make me real sad," Strong Bad closes it}'' "that big knife" ''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: are you trying to fade me?," Strong bad closes it, clears the screen, and continues typing}'' And if that's not enough proof ''{types "enüff prüf"}'', just watch this...

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan out in the field next to a sign laying against a cinder block saying '''Free Concert For Birds'''}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Oh yeah, oh yeah, and I really don't like him at all.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{Combs back "hair" and puts his comb into the back of his pants}'' Is that another song about Homestar?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, it's about you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' About being in love with me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's disgusting. And I don't like your outfit.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not telling you my new screen name.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... I don't even know what a screen name is, so there you go. And if you'd please leave now, because I'm tinkering with my guitar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, well? Say you like me.

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, leave me alone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say you like me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then do you like ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No! You're just saying your name fast. Go away.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about that guy who's brothers with Strong Mad and ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Sad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's still you! No!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how about this one? Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh... I guess...

'''STRONG BAD:''' See! I told you you loved me! Ooh! I knew it all along! Wait until my friend Emily from Ohio {pronounces it "O-hee-oh"} hears this!!! Oooh! She loves me!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Whatever... Come on Carol, let's rock.

''{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad's computer room. Three messages pop up from The Cheat:}''

'''cheatachu72:''' yo SB! you there? you still want that knife? 
'''cheatachu72:''' ello? 
'''cheatachu72:''' i gots to jet. makin' a video for a client 
'''cheatachu72 has signed off''' ''{sign off is punctuated by a vocalized imitation of AOL Instant Messenger's sign off sound}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. About 15 seconds later, a message from [[Strong Sad]] pops up:}''

'''depressio111117:''' vinegar toast? did you really think i'd fall for that?

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "video for a client" in The Cheat's last message to see a [[Powered by The Cheat]] music video for Marzipan's song.
=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, Carol, let's rock.
''{Marzipan sings this song:}''
<pre>
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah
And I really don't like him at all.
</pre>

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you! ''{Birds chirp}'' Those are the birds.

During the video, the following images flash by:
*Marzipan in a field,
*A road,
*Cup of coffee,
*Beefy arm,
*"Hello My Name Is" Tag,
*Teeth,
*Florida,
*A Shirt with a gold necklace,
*Alarm Clock.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"don't not dislike not" would mean Marzipan does like Strong Bad, by two instances of double negation.

===Trivia===
* Strong Sad's message is a reference to how [[Mike Chapman]] once tried to feed his brother [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] brownies with toothpaste in them, only to have the younger brother retaliate with vinegar toast. (From [http://www.ajc.com/living/content/living/0703/21homestar.html ajc.com interview]. Free [http://www.bugmenot.com/view.php?url=ajc.com login required].)
*When this email first came out, [[The Brothers Chaps]] registered the AIM screenname hooray4dolphins. It was always online with an away message, saying that Marzipan wasn't really using that screenname, since she doesn't use computers.
*This email marks the first time Marzipan's guitar has been referred to as [[Carol]]. Previously, the guitar had been nameless, and had an M on it instead.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says that "Marzipan can't keep her hands offa" him, which is ironic since Marzipan doesn't have any visible hands.

===Goofs===
*If you wait for Strong Sad's message about vinegar toast and then watch the Marzipan video, when you go back to the last screen Strong Sad's message will have disappeared (but comes back in another 15 seconds).

===Glitches===
*If you up the contrast at the very end of the email when the IMs are on the screen, the IM boxes don't change with the rest of the screen. They just stay black.

===Inside References===
*When Marzipan IMs Strong Bad, she says "Are you trying to fade me?" which is a reference to the name of [[Coach Z]]'s new hit single, These Peoples Try to Fade Me.
*Marzipan's "Free Concert for Birds" sign leans up against a cinder block, just like the [[Stop Sign|stop sign]] in [[Strongbadia]].
*The [[Big Knife | big knife]] is a reference to [[i love you]].
*The Cheat's screenname, cheatachu72, was originally seen in the email [[i she be]].
*Strong Sad's Screen Name is the same as his email address, as shown in [[depressio]].

===Real-World References===
*Marzipan throwing a free concert for birds may be a reference to the comic strip "Peanuts," where in one strip, Linus has a sign which reads "Free Pats" for birds.

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan's song would later be on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version contains a hidden commentary by Mike, Matt and Missy (as Marzipan). To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
**This commentary continues into the "Yeah Yeah" music video Easter egg.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''MIKE:''' Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of Marzipan, look who's here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi guys.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultanously}'' Hi 
'''MATT:''' Hi, Marzipan

'''MIKE:''' How does it feel to be featured in your very own Strong Bad email?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It feels about normal.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's got your name. It's got your name all over it.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' There it is, I'm pointing to it right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see. I, uh- I thought this was a particularly thoughtful email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, um, I thought the costume design was very good.

'''MIKE:''' There's... yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My- my outfit.

'''MIKE:''' It's the same one you're always wearing.

'''MATT:''' Well... it's a good outfit, right?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... sometimes I change.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, OK

'''MATT:''' Oh, an interesting note about that last one that popped up was, uh, it spelled out something, and, what was it-

'''MIKE:''' It was in, like

'''MATT:''' -it spelled out "I really hope you didn't translate this. That would make me sad." And of course-

'''MIKE:''' And it was in, like, Webdings-

'''MATT:''' Yeah

'''MIKE:''' Or some Dingbats or something and people translated it.

'''MATT:''' It made me really sad.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you notice you reversed my eyes on this one?

'''MATT:''' I- look, I-

'''MIKE:''' I think they are

'''MATT:''' I don't know...

'''MIKE:''' I think we did something wrong.

'''MATT:''' But they'd be- make sense in perspective, right? The smaller eyes...

'''MIKE:''' But that wasn't why- that's not why...

'''MATT:''' She just has one- one eye smaller than the other?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, just like Strong... just like Strong Ma- er, uh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's why I get confused later, because I can barely see Strong Bad while I'm talking to him.

'''MATT:''' Oh-ho, see Mike, it's YOUR fault. You put her eyes on backwards.

'''MIKE:''' Wellll, uh, we'll look into that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Plus everyone forgot to bring the birds in that day, so no one showed up. There were no extras.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I don't think anyone wanted to hear your song, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Mmm, it was a pretty good song.

'''MIKE:''' How was the, uh, did you market it very much? That concert? What promoter did you use?

'''MATT:''' Pass out flyers?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' Go down to the whole foods.

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to realize this is all acting. You know, this is just not what I usually do.

'''MATT:''' What do you usually do?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I'm usually gardening.

'''MATT:''' So is- is the playing a guitar all just part of your character?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah. I mean, I play it sometimes, but... for this, you know. I'm- I have a much better guitar than that, usually.

''{someone laughs in the background}''

'''MATT:''' What's its name?

'''MIKE:''' Carol... is that just a prop?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It IS a prop.

'''MATT:''' What's your guitar's name?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, Joan.

'''MIKE:''' Carol and Joan, huh?

=== Easter Egg Commentary ===
'''MIKE:''' So here's your video... Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' The Cheat misspelled the name of your- your prop guitar there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he calls it Carl.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. That's OK.

'''MATT:''' Did you help, like, do the art direction on this one?

'''MIKE:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Have you ever been before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, uh, I did actually. I- I like The Cheat a lot. ''{slight pause}'' See? There was only one bird there.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser.

''{Cut to a screen of the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." Then cut to the field, where Strong sad is standing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, now reading "Another while later..." Cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh... I'm - I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food (which looks like it might be [[General Tso's Chicken]]), grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**The cake easter egg will not work on some computers, probably because the cake is stored in a separate Flash file.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper". ''(also see Inside References)''
*The Cheat only seems to have one organ and no veins, and if the organ is the brain, then The Cheats might not use any form of blood, which, due to the non-existence of nerve endings, would make it impossible for The Cheats to feel pain, despite the fact that The Cheat does frequently.
**However, given the location of the organ, and the fact that it has a tube extending from it to the mouth, it could possibly be the stomach.

===Remarks===
*It's strange that Strong Bad arrives at the black and white monitor theory. With such a monitor, "big white face and gray body" could describe every character except Bubs, Pom Pom, and the Cheat (who would all turn out gray-faced) and Marzipan and Strong Mad (who were already ruled out due to their shape).
*It's also strange that Strong Bad says he's been hard on the Poopsmith, since in [[your friends]], he says he did nothing to the Poopsmith because, on account of the Poopsmith's profession, "his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof."
* In the part where Strong Bad says "Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second...", he's actually typing it, meaning he's sending a reply. Because it's a reply, he should have said "you", not "she".

===Goofs===
*If the contrast is changed before the Mac desktop comes up, then the Mac desktop appears blue instead of grey.
*Strong Sad's face isn't affected by contrast change.

===Inside References===
*"Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper" ''(see Trivia)'' is a reference to [[caper]].
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".

===Real-World References===
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Oddly enough, an early Macintosh would have been running on a [[Wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processor, not on an Intel processor.
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser.

''{Cut to a screen of the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." Then cut to the field, where Strong sad is standing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, now reading "Another while later..." Cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh... I'm - I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food, grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**The Chinese food looks like it may be [[General Tso's Chicken]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.
***Probably because the cake is stored in a external Flash file.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper". ''(also see Inside References)''
*The Cheat only seems to have one organ and no veins, and if the organ is the brain, then The Cheats might not use any form of blood, which, due to the non-existence of nerve endings, would make it impossible for The Cheats to feel pain, despite the fact that The Cheat does frequently.
**However, given the location of the organ, and the fact that it has a tube extending from it to the mouth, it could possibly be the stomach.

===Remarks===
*It's strange that Strong Bad arrives at the black and white monitor theory. With such a monitor, "big white face and gray body" could describe every character except Bubs, Pom Pom, and the Cheat (who would all turn out gray-faced) and Marzipan and Strong Mad (who were already ruled out due to their shape).
*It's also strange that Strong Bad says he's been hard on the Poopsmith, since in [[your friends]], he says he did nothing to the Poopsmith because, on account of the Poopsmith's profession, "his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof."
* In the part where Strong Bad says "Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second...", he's actually typing it, meaning he's sending a reply. Because it's a reply, he should have said "you", not "she".

===Goofs===
*If the contrast is changed before the Mac desktop comes up, then the Mac desktop appears blue instead of grey.
*Strong Sad's face isn't affected by contrast change.

===Inside References===
*"Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper" ''(see Trivia)'' is a reference to [[caper]].
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".

===Real-World References===
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Oddly enough, an early Macintosh would have been running on a [[Wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processor, not on an Intel processor.
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.
*The old timey Mac wallpaper has a floppy disk icon that reads "The Manhole," one of the first computer games by Cyan, the company that would go on to make Myst.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

**The Chinese food looks like it may be [[General Tso's Chicken]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.
***Probably because the cake is stored in a external Flash file.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper". ''(also see Inside References)''

'''Firebert''' is [[The Cheat]]'s commando name. He demands to be called this whenever he goes on commando missions for [[Strong Bad]]. The Cheat takes on this name in the email "[[army]]," but both Strong Bad and [[Gunhaver]] think it isn't a good commando name. As a character in the TV show ''[[The Cheat Commandos|Cheat Commando Adventures]]'', he speaks in "Cheatese," while the other commandos speak in English.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, well! I think I might have a little piece of advice for you, Roy. Close the book and quit being such a dork-on!!!!!!! ''{clears screen}'' I mean, this girl obviously has the hots for you man. Why do you think she's calling you? I mean, you've got the potential to get 1st, 2nd, and quite possibly even 3rd base. So unless you're studying a book called "This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base", I suggest you hightail it over to your girlfriend's house ASAP, man! ''{clears screen}'' And also, send me a copy of that book. It sounds pretty good. You know what...scratch that. You keep studying Roy, I'm going over to your girlfriend's house.

''{He walks away from the computer and a few seconds later he returns back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I forgot. I don't know her name or where she lives, but your girlfriend still loves me, Roy.

''{[[The Paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad", click on the text to email him.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*Click on "[http://www.homestarrunner.com/amazon.html This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base]" in red to see the amazon.com spoof page for the book by [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]. (For some reason, the link to this stays up even after the e-mail is over; just click the area where it was before. The blue diamond in between his eyes will work.)

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first email to have an immediately clickable Easter egg in it.
===Inside References===
*In the DVD version, the website is bookazon'''.egg'''. This is a reference to Coach Z and Homestar's conversation in [[pom pom]].
===Real-World References===
* Tempe Sam, one of the reviewers for ''[http://www.homestarrunner.com/amazon.html This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base]'', is planning to write a book called ''Leftover Sam and the Leftover Sam Book''. This may be a reference to the band "[http://www.leftoversalmon.net Leftover Salmon]".
*bookazon.com is a parody of http://www.amazon.com/
===Remarks===
*According to Strong Bad in the previous email, Lemmy from Motorhead and the band Krokus would guest-star in this email, even though they didn't.

== DVD Version ==
* If you click on the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the [[Tandy 400]]'s screen at the end of the email, you'll get the [[Bookazon.com]] site.
**The Easter egg looks different than it does on the site. Among the differences are:
***The site is now named bookazon.egg, a reference to the e-mail [[pom pom]] where [[Homestar]] says that he thinks the Web page ends with "dot-egg" instead of "dot-com".
***The tabs now read "WELCOME," "STORE," "BOOKS," "[[Videlectrix|VIDELECTRIX]]," "BVD," "CRAIG," "PRODUKTS," and "[[Ab-Abber 2000|AB-ABBERS]]"
***Two of the advertisements from [[Under Construction]] (the ones for Affordable Hosting and Spam Free Living) now adorn the right side of the screen.
***As well, the Purchase button section now reads "BUYIN' TIME? BUY THIS JUNK NOW?"
**Strong Bad also gives his reading of the site, as transcribed below.

===Easter Egg Transcript===

'''Sickly Sam''' is the [[1936]] version of [[Strong Sad]]. He is a skeleton wearing a [[Potate]] sack. When he's denied what he needs (which is often), he turns into a cloud of dust. Like his modern counterpart, none of the other characters seem to like him. According to him in [[That A Ghost]], he "buries [himself] alive on Tuesdays".

In fact, there seems to be little else to life besides fighting and challenge. The landscape consists of green fields with futuristic gray buildings. Malicious robots and other enemies abound.

The '''Cheat Commandos HQ (Playset)''' is the center of operations for none other than that daring task force, [[The Cheat Commandos]] (sale on action figures)! Whenever [[Blue Laser]] cooks up some trouble, the ''Blue Las-alert'' is sounded and the Cheat Commandos rock rock on to save the day. Inside the HQ is a fairly large computer maintained by [[Silent Rip]], which loads images on "[[The Screen]]" when there is a ''Blue Las-alert''. [[Reynold]] does a good job organizing the team's equipment on a random wall inside the fort. A picture of [[Gunhaver]] with neon lights on the background is mounted on the wall of the HQ. The HQ seems heavily armed, as turrets protect each corner of the base. And finding the entrance to the base is quite easy as it is marked high on the front wall, as well as the Cheat Commandos logo. On the roof of the fort is what appears to be a large [[The Cheat]] balloon with a sash labeled "SALE" across its torso.

'''Strong Bad Email #16'''

Dan asks Strong Bad for advice on a name for his new band.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Date:''' March 4, 2002

'''Duration:''' 1:12

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in the style of [[The Cheat Theme Song]]}'' Who's that giving Strong Bad a hand? Email... Email... ''{stops singing}''

<pre>hey strong bad,
help us come up with a name for our band. i was
thinking about 'invisible robot fish' or 'for good or
for awesome.' hurry up please, we have our first
show tomorrow.
you rule
- dan</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Dan, the easiest way is to, you know, just have a really cool last name and use that. You know like Van Halen, or Dokken, or to a lesser extent,... Z'Nuff.

{''Clears screen. Now every time Strong Bad says a band name, an index card featuring the band's logo appears on the screen accompanied by guitar riffs''}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The other way is to take a really cool word but then spell it all wrong. You know like... "LAZOR", or "BIGG NIFE", or something like "TARANCHULA" or maybe like "LIMOZEEN". You know, these are all great names, and you know, go ahead and take them. I'm not going to charge you or nothing. Just, uh, put me on the guest list plus one for that show huh? I'll probably take Pom-Pom. You know, He's been pretty cool lately. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so tune in next week, when my guests will be Lemmy from Motörhead and the guys from Krokus!

''{[[The Paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad", click on the text to email him.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Inside References===
*Bigg Nife is a reference to the recurring [[Big Knife]] which was first mentioned in [[i love you]].
*"For Good or for Awesome", one of the potential band names Dan puts forth, was taken from [[some kinda robot]].
*The coffee cup ring on the index card is from the recipe card in the quiz when you get all of them right.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Van Halen|Van Halen]], Enuff Z'Nuff, [[Wikipedia:Motörhead|Motörhead]], [[Wikipedia:Krokus|Krokus]], and [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]] are real bands.
*The Limozeen logo could be a slight reference to the band AC/DC from their logo with the lightning bolt in the middle and specially drawn letters.
*Dolly Parton released an album called "White Limozeen" in 1989.
*Strong Bad's "take a really cool word, but then spell it all wrong" method of band-name generation is most likely a reference to real-world bands such as [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] and [[Wikipedia:Def Leppard|Def Leppard]], whose names seem to contain intentional spelling errors.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]] have become actual bands in the H*R universe.
*When Strong Bad says the name of each made up band, you hear music and things in the backround. Bigg Nife was what really ended up sounding like [[Limozeen]], as mentioned in the commentary below.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features a hidden creator commentary. Just switch the language on your DVD player while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''MATT:''' That's, of course, The Cheat Party- I mean The Skate Party theme song for The Cheat. ''{pause}'' Uh, this was, I remember thinking this was the heyday of, like, when we were making these.

'''MIKE:''' This was a fun one to make 'cause I remember you were still working and we did it, um, we finished it up at the end, I think, the morning before you went to work ''{inaudable}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I was going into work around 11 or 12.

'''MIKE:''' I remember recording the guitar parts at, like, 8 or 9 in the morning.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Uh, and making the, uh, coming up with the note cards and stuff. ''{makes guitar noises}'' That was pretty good. I like that uh, stain. What—what is that? Is that coffee? It looks more like Kool-Aid, though. It's a little red.

'''MIKE:''' More like what?

'''MATT:''' Kool-Aid? Fruit punch?

'''MIKE:''' Well, it's supposed to be coffee.

'''MATT:''' Well, you did a bad job.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' Poor...representation.

'''MIKE:''' I like—I just hit a harmonic note there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and that—it's—funny, though, because, like—

'''MIKE:''' Limozeen sounds nothing like that.

'''MATT:''' —Bigg Nife, yeah, Bigg Nife was what really ended up sounding like the Limozeen we've made today wheras this Limozeen just sounds like...Richie Kotzen...like, Deliverance.

'''MIKE:''' Extreme. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That's a good song. You guys should check that out. Richie Kotzen.

'''MIKE:''' A lot of people listening to this aren't going to know about Richie Kotzen.

'''Strong Bad Email #127'''

Strong Bad shows us how to write a proper email, and addresses Homestar's lack of pants. Homestar goes nuts.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan]] (Easter Egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you, girl! Woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words}'' Oh, won't you email me, girl? Woman? ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

Dear Strongbad,
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time.
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants!
Tootles!
Clancy

''{Strong Bad skips everything between "Anyway" and "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem read-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen ink-put high-tech expensive device! Now on HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen having the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Such a high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! ''{camera pans back to show Homestar wearing very short purple pants}'' Check out my creepy pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking away}'' Ew, Homestar! What're you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?!

''{Homestar's pants shine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cuz you said, "creepy pants all the time get some."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get some what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Light globes?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Light globes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like in a lamp! Light globes! ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... you put on hotpants in the hopes of getting some lightbulbs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Globes. ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. Or your lack thereof. Daisy Dukes aside.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about, Strong Bad? I wear long pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet. ''{indicates Homestar's feet}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants that wear long pants. I'm a long pants man. Long pants, long pants! ''{starts getting upset and dances around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, calm down... I didn't mean to-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumps high into the air, and convulses on Strong Bad's desk}'' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ''{starts teleporting around the room, first appearing in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen, then blurred in the very foreground, then upside down under the desk, then in his original position, all while chanting the following}'' Long long long long long long pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that's it! We need to get you some serious clown care, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I was told long pants! Long pants! They said long pants! Always long pants! ''{leans toward Strong Bad}'' Long, my pants! Gleaming pants! Glorious pants! ''{runs away, leaving his pants behind. They fall on Strong Bad's foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bleh! Egh! BLEEEGGEHHEGH!

''{He attempts to shake the pants off. He eventually does, and The Cheat appears stage left to burn them to a crisp with the BMW lighter.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

''{The Cheat leaves, and Strong Bad turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Noice work, Clanky. You made Homestar go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out. And how am I supposed to get this crap offa here? ''{Everything starting with the "t" in "get" is obscured by the dried correction fluid. Strong Bad grabs a cloth and attempts to wipe the correction fluid off the screen, to no avail. He mutters:}'' Stupid... made-up technology... that I made up... Light pen... ''{mumbles}'' The Cheat! Call tech support and tell 'em you broke the Lappy again!

''{The Paper comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Selecting "Why wear pants" will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game. As you hover the cursor over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
* Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service. It reads:
Kertified
Klown Kare

-Pie Injuries
-Giant Foot Problems
-Wacky Malaria
-Grease Paint Poisoning

"Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"
* Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {''Lying in bed, crying''} Lonnnng paaaannnts!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sits up suddenly, surprised}'' You're not a broom?

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*[[Wikipedia:Daisy Duke|Daisy Dukes]] are extremely short cut-offs, so named for the character from [[Wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]] that wore them.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.

=== Remarks ===
*Homestar has been known to wear pants for certain in [[Holiday Toons]].
*Perhaps Strong Bad doesn't answer the original question because we already found out why Homestar doesn't wear pants in an Easter Egg to [[monument]]. Homestar was distracted by the Thnikkaman and never wound up putting pants on.

=== Goofs ===
*Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker, no ripples pop up on the screen.
*In the Easter Egg in Homestar's room, his window cannot be seen. This contradicts [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], in which the window is clearly visible beside the bed, and should be visible this time.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat torches Homestar's Daisy Dukes with the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Edga Jr. is a reference to the e-mail [[virus]], where his ambiguous relation, Edgar, created Strong Bad's virus protection program.
**Edga Jr. bears a striking resemblance to [[Tompkins]].
*Homestar's pixellated form is from [[Main Page 13]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*When Homestar finishes going nuts, the screen turns red, like in [[Where the Crap Are We?]]
*The business card easter egg makes reference to the Tragic Hotdog Clown from [[part-time job]].
*Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Intro]].
*Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (Along with Homestar's response) is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Adam West| Adam West]] is an actor best known for his role as [[Batman]] on the campy '60s TV show.

''{Strong Bad skips everything between "Anyway" and "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem read-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen ink-put high-tech expensive device! Now on HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen having the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Such a high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! ''{camera pans back to show Homestar wearing very short purple pants}'' Check out my creepy pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking away}'' Ew, Homestar! What're you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?!

''{Homestar's pants shine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cuz you said, "creepy pants all the time get some."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get some what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Light globes?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Light globes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like in a lamp! Light globes! ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... you put on hotpants in the hopes of getting some lightbulbs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Globes. ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. Or your lack thereof. Daisy Dukes aside.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about, Strong Bad? I wear long pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet. ''{indicates Homestar's feet}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants that wear long pants. I'm a long pants man. Long pants, long pants! ''{starts getting upset and dances around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, calm down... I didn't mean to-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumps high into the air, and convulses on Strong Bad's desk}'' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ''{starts teleporting around the room, first appearing in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen, then blurred in the very foreground, then upside down under the desk, then in his original position, all while chanting the following}'' Long long long long long long pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that's it! We need to get you some serious clown care, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I was told long pants! Long pants! They said long pants! Always long pants! ''{leans toward Strong Bad}'' Long, my pants! Gleaming pants! Glorious pants! ''{runs away, leaving his pants behind. They fall on Strong Bad's foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bleh! Egh! BLEEEGGEHHEGH!

''{He attempts to shake the pants off. He eventually does, and The Cheat appears stage left to burn them to a crisp with the BMW lighter.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

''{The Cheat leaves, and Strong Bad turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Noice work, Clanky. You made Homestar go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out. And how am I supposed to get this crap offa here? ''{Everything starting with the "t" in "get" is obscured by the dried correction fluid. Strong Bad grabs a cloth and attempts to wipe the correction fluid off the screen, to no avail. He mutters:}'' Stupid... made-up technology... that I made up... Light pen... ''{mumbles}'' The Cheat! Call tech support and tell 'em you broke the Lappy again!

''{The Paper comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Selecting "Why wear pants" will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game. As you hover the cursor over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
* Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service. It reads:
Kertified
Klown Kare

-Pie Injuries
-Giant Foot Problems
-Wacky Malaria
-Grease Paint Poisoning

"Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"
* Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {''Lying in bed, crying''} Lonnnng paaaannnts!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sits up suddenly, surprised}'' You're not a broom?

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*[[Wikipedia:Daisy Duke|Daisy Dukes]] are extremely short cut-offs, so named for the character from [[Wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]] that wore them.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.

=== Remarks ===
*Homestar has been known to wear pants for certain in [[Holiday Toons]].
*Perhaps Strong Bad doesn't answer the original question because we already found out why Homestar doesn't wear pants in an Easter Egg to [[monument]]. Homestar was distracted by the Thnikkaman and never wound up putting pants on.

=== Goofs ===
*Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker, no ripples pop up on the screen.
*In the Easter Egg in Homestar's room, his window cannot be seen. This contradicts [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], in which the window is clearly visible beside the bed, and should be visible this time.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat torches Homestar's Daisy Dukes with the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Edga Jr. is a reference to the e-mail [[virus]], where his ambiguous relation, Edgar, created Strong Bad's virus protection program.
**Edga Jr. bears a striking resemblance to [[Tompkins]].
*When Homestar "goes nuts", he teleports all over the screen at one point. While he does, he takes on the appearance of his video game counterpart seen in [[Main Page 13]] for a few frames.
**Also, when Homestar finishes going nuts, the screen turns red, like in [[Where the Crap Are We?]]
* The business card easter egg makes reference to the Tragic Hotdog Clown from [[part-time job]].
* Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Intro]].
*Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (Along with Homestar's response) is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Adam West| Adam West]] is an actor best known for his role as [[Batman]] on the campy '60s TV show.
