First off, I'm a user here, so the addition or deletion of material on mainspace pages is kinda like my job. It's not just Loafing's. Second off, I still need to (and already have) take it to the talk page. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:I lied when I said I didn't want your input. [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 20:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

:Heylo. Please do not add anything about any irony about Homsar mentioning pants to [[DNA Evidence]]. All this is covered in the [[Pants]] article. It's also debatable whether it's ironic or not. For example, I don't think it is at all. Also, that's not somethign between you and me. The wiki is edited by everybody, so Bluebry is more than welcome to edit the article. And lastly, since the contents of this wiki seem to be important to you, you [[HRWiki:Why create an account?|should really create an account]]! It'll make editing much easier for you.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::Addition: Actually, there has never been speculation about whether Homsar wears pants or not.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:::two years later: if i remember correctly, this^ was my whole point about the edit in question. If there is so much speculation about whether or not homestar wears pants, there should be equal speculation about whether or not homsar wears pants. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::OK I made an account anyway, and yes you're right. I knew from the start that ironic was not the right word and I was hoping that someone would just change it instead of deleting the entire edit.
::<nowiki>*</nowiki>You're right that Bluebry is certainly welcome to edit the page. And I can't figure out how to do a signature. 00:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

:::You sign your talk page posts by with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (four squiggly bits){{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::::I can't believe that the whole edit was erased just because one word was wrong! I decided "notable" is a better word than "ironic". would that be okay to put in the page? [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 20:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::Hi there, Kevin G. I looked at {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=DNA_Evidence&diff=prev&oldid=475785 the edit}} you're talking about. In my opinion, it's not notable — Homsar's just saying his usual mostly meaningless things. But you can participate in the discussion at [[Talk:DNA Evidence#Homsar's pants]] if you like, and perhaps others will agree with you. Talk atcha later, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Mainly I noticed that Homsar made a somewhat legitimate (sp?) sentence. It's not like he said "you shanked my jengaship" or anything nonsensical like that. [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 21:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::::I see your point, but on the other hand, the fact that he's not wearing different pants and that it's not Easter makes it nonsensical. However, it sounds like what you're talking about is information for [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]]. That page attempts to attribute ordinary meaning to Homsar's seemingly nonsensical phrases. Hope that helps... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:10, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Thanks I didn't know that page existed. It's not the first time that's happened to me. [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 21:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::No prob; it's kind of an obscure article anyways :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::two years later: Still not sure how either of those things make it nonsensical. Homsar could have been wearing a pair of pants (not constantly) since Easter (a grand total of one month) and they are getting tight. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Weclome to the wiki! Doesn't it feel much nicer this way? Has fun editing! :-D{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

How do i make a contents box for the top of my pages? i see them all over the place and i want one for each of my pages so how do i put one there? [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 03:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Kevin! I'm sorry for the waaaay late reply (I have a bad habit of doing this, and having to subsequently apologize for it), but I wanted to let you know I responded to your [[User_talk:Stux#Monty_Python_Reference|comment]] regarding my 3rd contest.

:haha lol idk if you remember in the home run derby a few years ago when teixiera played for texas still and chris berman called him Mark "Yellow Rose of" Teixiera. He has a great name for a texas player and i kind of liked it that the braves had the player with the longest last name in history and the most number of a's in his last name in history... [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 03:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== Sig ==

You told me ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3AOptimisticFool&diff=576264&oldid=576263 here]) that your "signature needs a little bit of color in it" and asked for my help. Sure, I'll help you. What do you want your sig to be like? Keep in mind that you don't have... {{sigbox raw|The Knights Who Say Ni}} ...a lot of space to work with unless we use a narrow font or take out the spaces between the words in your name, or something. That's assuming you wanted an image; is that what you had in mind, or did you literally mean colorful? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:07, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
:Have you changed your mind about this? It's been a month and a half and you still haven't answered my questions.. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
::I haven't had a whole lot of time to come on here this summer, but you can see [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:The_Knights_Who_Say_Ni/sig&oldid=555230 here] that i once tried to put some color in it, but i didn't like the result, so i reverted it inside of an hour. So i'm not sure now if i really need to have a better signature. i mean, i figured something like putting an orange couch next to my orange name, by which i mean [[Image:JustOrangeCouch.png|48px]] [[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|'''The Knight''']][[Special:Contributions/The Knights Who Say Ni|'''s Who ''']][[User_talk:The Knights Who Say Ni|'''Say Ni''']], would just be plagiarism, so i don't want to do that, not to mention the fact that it doesn't fit. do you have any ideas that don't involve plagiarism? in short, i guess i would still like to have a unique signature, and you could maybe still make one since i can never seem to find the time (and you just wrote something on here on my oldth birthday, which i had to mention. i should have said something a few days earlier) {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 05:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Can you give me something to go on? Have a favorite color? Do you want an image of some kind (and if so, what kind)? Here's a quick one I came up with using a crop from [[:Image:20060216 sketchbook none shall pass eww.PNG|this image]]:

::::::honestly, i would prefer a more h*r-themed picture, so if you could maybe find a picture with The Cheat, since i have sometimes associated "Ni!" and "Meh!" in the same idea. is there anything with The Cheat wearing sunglasses? that would be awesome. or if there isn't one, you could just find a cool font and/or color, that would be okay too. i have an idea: how about The Cheat wearing sunglasses on the left and Strong Bad's eyes on the right? i've got the sb eyes picture {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 02:30, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Probably was a multitude of things. I was also running two messengers at the time and maybe I had a poor internet connection for a split second. (Though if it needs a perfect storm to work, that's DEFINITELY not notable.) And as I said, my laptops have done crazy things.

In Majora's Mask, there was a sidequest involving four deku scrubs in various locations. You needed to get the title deeds and trade with them. I can't remember but it is possible they used the phrase in all this. Makes sense considering the Tingle costume. --[[User:Bacon warrior|Bacon warrior]] 20:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:They didn't [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

:: The phrase has not only been used in contexts that have nothing whatsoever to do with The Legend of Zelda, but the sidequest in question did not involve Tingle in any way (in spite of the fact that it was in Tingle's first game). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==A couple of transcript points==

Sounds to me more like Bubs says MAYBE you got a witch's brew goin'. Also, it sounds more like Marzipan says Homestar [[Wikipedia:Michael Winner|Michael Winner]], but that's just silly :P Also also, does Coach Z's comment on mailmen make any sense to anybody?

:The relevance of "baby" is described in Fun Facts. Coach Z's comment was an unexpected twist to the conversation he seemed to be having with Pom Pom - up until the word "mailmen" it sounded more like they were talking about women (IMHO). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

::I thought he said "male men" the first time, but that doesn't really make much sense either. By the way, having listened to that clip quite a few times through halfdecent headphones, I still say Bubs says MAYBE, even if it is a reference...

:::Maybe Marzipan was talking 'bout [[Homeschool Winner|This Micheal]]. It sounds like it to me.--[[User:68.239.117.11|68.239.117.11]] 12:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Somebody noted the following in an abortive Real-World Reference:
*[[Wikipedia:Michael_Winner|Michael Winner]] is a British movie director who directed the first [[Wikipedia:Death Wish|Death Wish]] movie, among others. He celebrated his 70th birthday two days before this cartoon aired.

::::The use of "Michael" here as Homestar's nickname, to those familiar with the above director, might suggest a leap to "Winner," thus Homeschool Winner. In an even trickier twist, the words immediately preceding are "you '''win'''!"

== Homestar's transformations ==
I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.

:Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. [[User:Azure Haights|Azure Haights]] 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::I don't think that's it. I went through once with each item, and got [[The Goblin]], Tofu Homestar, and a cyclops Homestar. I bet a decompiler will help this one. Maybe. I dunno exactly what they do. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::It seems as though the result is dependent on the sum of the choices.

''{table removed}''

Um, do we need this list? It sure is taking up a lot of room. Has the mathematical threory been proven? If so, doesn't that render this list obsolete? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I think a better way is to arrange the effects by their supposed outcome based on the formula on tha main page, and see if that works. I've already done that on my talk page; if we want to copy it in here, by all means, do. [[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC) EDIT: Oh wow, DorianGray, you're fast. [[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

=== The Code ===
This is the code for the ending:
<pre>function showEnding () {
var _local3 = 0
for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){
_local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]
}
_local3 = (_local3) % 5
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)
}</pre>

The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:
<pre>end1: tofu
end2: eyeball
end3: Frenchman
end4: grodelated Marzipan
end5: the Goblin</pre>
So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

For some reason I get something different:
<pre>function showEnding()
{
var _l3 = 0;
var _l2 = 0;
while (_l2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS)
{
_l3 = _l3 + answers[_l2];
++_l2;
} // end while
_l3 = _l3 % 5;
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_l3 + 1));
} // End of the function</pre>
Using Sothink SWF Decompiler 2005b. Must be something in the ActionScript that was extracted.--[[User:68.215.67.181|68.215.67.181]] 00:25, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:I only know a little about ActionScript, but my guess is that the difference lies in the way that the programs reverse-engineer (as well as interpret) the ActionScript, which is supposed to be a type of Machine-like language. Less sophisticated programs may not be able to extract all of the original information and produce code that's closer to the original. However both functions, in fact, produce exactly the same code! (''for'' loops are nothing more than glorified ''while'' loops) Hope that helps.

As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

* I was just wondering, what was the toon where either Pom Pom or Strong Bad kept poking Homestar in the face with a needle and then it looked like he had a bad case of acne? I don't know if Homestar's Moocher costume is a reference to that or not but I'm dying to see that toon again. [[User:Colonel Burnsides|Colonel Burnsides]]

: Uh, I'd say it's more a pretty direct reference to the fact that 'n' can be used as a contraction for "and": "K and F and C", giving us the familiar letters in a non-registered-servicemark-infringing form. As for a reference to "getting lucky"... if kids understand what that means before they "should", that's on their parents. That's the whole point of a euphemism... it can be used in mixed company. Besides, who are we to say what "getting lucky" means in Homestar's head? All in all, I'd worry about where your mind is going and let TBC worry about theirs...

: Also, if you get Ghost-Water in the actual 'toon, look at how it's written on the scorecard, which uses the exact same font. It's a flat-topped capital G. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Reagan's predilection for jellybeans was not legendary. See the New York Times, January 15, 1981, [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0B17FA3F5F0C768DDDA80894D9484D81 "Halcyon Era for the Jellybean."]

:I think you're confusing definitions of "legendary." When one says: Reagan's prediliction for jellybeans was legendary, one means that it is "well known and worth telling stories about," not "mythical." Like one might say, "legendary" singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and not mean he's a yeti or something.

:I can't think of any specific games, but this is a commonly used plot device in game genres involving puzzles, mazes and the like.

It is a reference, to FMV-based adventure games. I added that... but we should probably find a more family-friendly example of FMV adventure games than Phantasmagoria.

== Tofu Homestar Update? ==

I just watched the toon for the first time earlier today, and the Tofu Homestar ending is different than what is listed in the transcript. In the version I saw, the top block of Tofu actually does fall off, and it lands in the cauldron with a splash. This cuases Homestar to transform to his usual look, and Marzipan says once again that Homestar is back to his usual self, this time in a disappointed-sounding tone. Homestar then proceeds to tell Marzipan that her costume makes her butt look big.

== Throw a TV on 'im! ==

*"Throw a TV on 'im!" is an oblique reference to [[virus]], where Strong Bad says "Drop a train on 'em!"

I added this inside reference, and it was removed a bit later due to "questionable merit" (by someone who doesn't have a user page, I noticed). So I figured I'd mention it here and see if people agree on whether it should be included as a Fun Fact or not. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 21:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Homsar's highlight ==

This fact has been added and deleted multiple times:

In the costume gallery, Homsar is available if you found him. However, he can still be highlighted even others are talking.

The last time with:

Homsar can be highlighted because he is a sprite overlaying the scene

But how does that make it not a goof? Obviously, TBC went out of their way to remove the ability to highlight all of the other characters, so Homsar's highlight does seem rather Goof-ish to me. Don't utter the words "Flash artifact"; this doesn't fit the description. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: My (partial) mistake; it's listed in Remarks. I still think it's a Goof. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree on the goofishness. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::: It has to do with how the Flash file is set up. Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user. That's why I think it should still be listed as a goof, even knowing the mechanism by which it occurs. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::: What? The technical reason is why it ''shouldn't'' be listed as a goof. Goofs are when TBC make an actual ''mistake''. This is not a mistake; therefore, it is just a remark. If you really wanted to, you could list it as a glitch. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::: Actually, glitches seems like a good place for it, so I moved it there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::: You have a good point, 65. But a Goof implies that TBC are behaving in ways that ''they'' should not. TBC put that scene together exactly as they should, so it's not a Goof. Goofs should be reserved for bona fide mistakes. If Glitches is out, then that just leaves Remarks. But on the other hand, I think Glitches is a good fit for this fact, because putting it there highlights pecularities in the Flash file without stigmatizing the result. I think that's the direction the Glitches category is ultimately taking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Hi guys. When the page was being built I was actually the first one to move this comment from a goof to a remark. The way I saw it at the time was that, even if they had time limitations to deal with, and given that putting homesar in there the right way would be much work, I thought and still think that it was purposely left the way it was made because it was "homesar-ish". The odd behavior fits perfectly with... well... everything else he does. One way or another I'm pretty sure that TBC knew of the flash limitations and that it would behave the way it does now. In the end they probably decided this would be a good way to present homesar's easter egg. Following that line of reasoning I think it belongs as a remark. That's just my opinion. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:09, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Eyes ==

Did anyone else notice that Marzipan's eyes, in the beginning, cause a bit of her facial outline to disappear when she blinks? You have to zoom in, and it's only the duration of her blinking, so you have to have a sharp eye. A possible goof?— {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

While I do agree that it was released a little too late, shouldn't we (and don't we always) go by the official date on the [[Main Pages]]?

I missed the discussion (if there ever was any), did we ever come to a decision about guessing what The Cheat says, and noting it in the transcript. Because The Cheat is obviously (to me) saying "I'm the best!", a phrase Toad often said, such as in Mario Kart. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:I think we did decide that we don't put words in The Cheat's mouth. However, I also think we can make an exception this time, since what The Cheat is saying is a direct reference to Mario Kart 64 and similar. If he wasn't in costume, I'd say no, but... It's okay if he is. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Yeah, we should just forget about trying to translate the "the cheat" noises there. To hard. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::The previous discussion was at [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#Standardize_.22The_Cheat_Noises.22|HRWiki:Standards]]. The best thing I had to say there regarding the situation here was this: "I do believe that there does exist that tiny fraction where it actually sounds like he's saying something. But these cases are quite rare." So, if it really can be determined (from context or whatever) that he's saying "I'm the best", then it should at least be mentioned somewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:11, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::::''Edit Conflict:'' I agree. There are several instances where I've heard noises that are very close to the words that would fit perfectly in context. I beleive some of those words might even be in the SB email easter egg where we have his noises translated by a notable expert in the field of The Cheat-speak. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I thought all the "Learn to speak The Cheat" entries were already in the transcripts. That should be checked on. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::::I for one am highly in favor of adding a Fun Fact, that "I'm The Best" is a common Toad phrase. However, in order to do so, it would likely first need to be added to the transcript. Surprisingly enough, it was rather hard to find proof that he actually says that line on the Mario Kart series.

:None whatsoever from me. As a Nintendo fan--and supporter of Toad's Mario Kart 64 voice (as opposed to Super Mario Sunshine and later games)--I think this is very noteable. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I also don't like the way the transcript explains "Poomp" as being the effect made when Toad crashes. It has very little do to with Toad crashing, but it always happens when I kart lands after going off a high cliff. I think it should be reworded to reflect that. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

== An early version ==

The version I watched when the toon first came out is different than the version that exists now.

I'm trying to find it in my temp folders. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 04:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah there's been some mention of it in the discussions. I remember not seeing a The Cheat easter egg - I didn't even know there was one until you mentioned it!

== The Mysterious Man of Mischief ==

We have all known for a long time that Strong Bad mercilessly torment Strong Sad. But I got to thinking after the Halloween Toon mention ''the essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water'' that how many time has SB teased SM? I remember the potato salad in the drawer but are there other examples out there.

Also does anyone think that it is worth it to list the times Strong Bad has tormented other people like glueing SS's hands to his face and locking him in the bath tub at Decemberween? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:We already have [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad]]. I don't think we need a page like that for everybody. SB is just not a very nice person, and I don't think we need proof by cataloging every instance. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 15:16, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::But don't forget when Strong
Bad put that pasta in Strong Mad's drawers in [[old comics]]. [[User:Neox|Neox. Duh.]]

==Strong Sad n' Say==

Wouldn't Strong Sad saying "each day you die a little more" be a slight reference to Spin n' Say? I found the way he said it in this toon quite similar to the way he said it in the game. [[User:Teh_Frossty_One|Teh_Frossty_One]]
:Already noted in the article. I do think Marzipan's "Yay! Now I'm not the only girl!" is a reference to it, though. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

Isn't Strong Bad saying "That's a worthy cause if ever there was one!" a reference to [[Stinkoman]] "That's the name of a talented fighter if ever there was one."[[20X6 vs. 1936]]? [[User:20X6_GEM]]
:That's what I though at first, but it could easily be a coincidence. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

== Runnin gag? ==

When Homestar's singing that song, would that be another refrence to "Eggs"? [[User:Cakeman|Cakeman]]

== Annd scene ==

Isn't Marzipan saying "ennd scene" instead of "annd scene"? I think that makes more sense...

:"And scene" is what you say at the end of a brief performance, for example in a theater workshop. A brief search turned up many results, five of which I have listed below:

== Homestar gets an item ==

== Shorty ==

I'm trying to figure out why Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty" (right before giving him the JP3 collector's spoon). I have two ideas: if "stick and move, stick and move" is a [[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out]] reference, then it makes sense (Little Mac was extremely short). The other possibility is that the actor who played Moocher in Breaking Away, Jackie Earle Haley, was also extremely short (you can see that [http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/0355097/JackieEarleHaleytrophies.jpg here], although it's more noticeable while watching the movie. I lean toward the first explanation. Any thoughts? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 10:57, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

==TV ''is'' bad for you==

When The Cheat pushed the TV off the edge, the dent on top was towards the right. But when it landed next to Homestar, it was to the left. I know this is pretty minor, but I just wanted to bring it up. [[User:Teh_Frossty_One|Teh_Frossty_One]]

==...In warm water while he's asleep==

Anyone else think the essence of "putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep" is a reference to that prank where one put his victim's hand in cold water while said victim is asleep, causing the victim to urinate upon him/herself?

::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Here's a bit more complicated answer. They're chosen due to the remainder after the equasion.

==Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty"--my explanation==

Sorry, not a member. But I noticed that in the references section, it rants about how Homestar is actually taller than Bubs and Bubs calls Homestar shorty, but I think that whoever wrote that fails to understand why he called him shorty. Homestar dresses up as the character "Moocher" from the 1979 film "Breaking Away" in which people discriminate Moocher for his smaller build. Whenever someone calls Moocher "Shorty", he gets really mad. There were two instances in which he did that. First, when he got a job at the gas station, and his manager said "Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty." And that's just what he did. The second instance is when a nemesis college frat jerk called him shorty which sparked a mass bar fight. Just thought I'd clear that up for all 'yall.

== Homestar's impressions ==

Whoever wrote in the Easter Eggs about Homestar's shady drifter impression is wrong.
This isn't an 'option' like the Reagan impression; Homestar just does it as part of the easter egg. That fact should be removed.

You guys are NEVER going to believe it.

"Choose it or Lose it" (the title page name) is said in Pokémon S01E01, about 3:45 in.

== Objects as Inside references ==

I had removed a bunch of Inside references (such as the KFC bucket, Pom Poms gun, a broken TV, etc) citing that these are just mundane objects and graphics that TBC reuse so that they don't have to redraw them every time. My change was reverted saying that many of these objects have their own articles meaning that they are not mundane; they are significant objects and, therefore, are considered inside references. I didn't want to start a reverting war, so I'm starting this discussion to get others opinions.

My opinion is this: It's fine that these objects have their own articles, but do we really need to say "Ooh! theres that KFC bucket again!" every time it appears? As time goes on, I'm sure many objects in the HR universe will have their own articles, and adding each and every one as an Inside Reference will be a lot. These facts just add clutter to the article without adding anything interesting. If anyone is interested in the KFC bucket it has its own article for that reason. Furthermore, I don't really see these as "inside references." Usually an inside reference makes some sort of explicit connection to a previous toon. There is no real connection between the broken TVs in this toon and the ones in previous toons. They're just generic broken TVs. I don't think TBC were saying "you know what will blow our viewers' minds away? if we use the SAME broken tv as in that other toon! it'll be hilarious!" So theres my thoughts. Any opinions? - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 15:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
:I tend to agree that reused objects and sounds don't make good fun facts, but some people tend to like these facts, but only sometimes.

::: Yea I was thinking of that as a potential reason for keeping a mention of them somewhere in the article...

== Possible Glitch? (Maybe Not Noteworthy But It Is Weird) ==

Okay, I was listening to the toon while on Wikipedia at the same time. I loaded a fairly big page and that caused the toon to hiccup as Homestar presented the stirring utensil to Marizpan. (Jurassic Park 3 Collector spoon when suddenly he gave her a chewed up pen instead.)

To avoid being confusing here is what I selected and here's what the computer did with the hiccup.

*Me: 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 = Cycloptic Homestar
*Computer: 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 = French Homestar

The odd result was, that it DID come out as Cyclopic Homestar, but after the toon ended and it went to the characters, the audio for French Homestar began playing.

Not sure if this can be at all notable but I thought it was strange enough to mention. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 05:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's transformations ==
I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.

:I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

=== The Code ===
This is the code for the ending:
<pre>function showEnding () {
var _local3 = 0
for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){
_local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]
}
_local3 = (_local3) % 5
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)
}</pre>

The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:
<pre>end1: tofu
end2: eyeball
end3: Frenchman
end4: grodelated Marzipan
end5: the Goblin</pre>
So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

For some reason I get something different:
<pre>function showEnding()
{
var _l3 = 0;
var _l2 = 0;
while (_l2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS)
{
_l3 = _l3 + answers[_l2];
++_l2;
} // end while
_l3 = _l3 % 5;
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_l3 + 1));
} // End of the function</pre>

:I only know a little about ActionScript, but my guess is that the difference lies in the way that the programs reverse-engineer (as well as interpret) the ActionScript, which is supposed to be a type of Machine-like language. Less sophisticated programs may not be able to extract all of the original information and produce code that's closer to the original. However both functions, in fact, produce exactly the same code!

== Transformations theory... ==

As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

: Consider the font used. It ''is'' "Ghost-Water". Which, by the way, is the only item on the original list that can actually be obtained (if we assume that the JP3 spoon isn't made of wood.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:41, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: Also, if you get Ghost-Water in the actual 'toon, look at how it's written on the scorecard, which uses the exact same font. It's a flat-topped capital G. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::I used a Flash decompiler when I transcribed the original list. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==Jellybeans==

Reagan's predilection for jellybeans was not legendary. See the New York Times, January 15, 1981, [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0B17FA3F5F0C768DDDA80894D9484D81 "Halcyon Era for the Jellybean."]

:I think you're confusing definitions of "legendary." When one says: Reagan's prediliction for jellybeans was legendary, one means that it is "well known and worth telling stories about," not "mythical." Like one might say, "legendary" singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and not mean he's a yeti or something.

::Undeniable! But the version I was responding to read "at least according to legend." [[User:Minivet|Minivet]] 02:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== 4th wall breaking? ==

Umm, when Homestar says "Oh, great. The secret guy" is he breaking the 4th wall? I belive we should add that somewhere. {{User:H*R 700/sig}}
:Hmm... perhaps you should check out [[Fourth Wall Breaks]], where it has already been added. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Opening scenario a reference? ==

Can any of the gamer-types tell me whether the opening "I'm lost in this haunted mansion and I need your help to find..." setup is a reference to a specific game? Seems like it ought to be. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:I can't think of any specific games, but this is a commonly used plot device in game genres involving puzzles, mazes and the like. The most recent game I can think of that employed this device is '''Pac Pix''' for the Nintendo DS, in which Pac-Man gets trapped as a drawing in a book, and he says he needs your help to free him. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:Additionally, I submit this is NOT a reference to Luigi's Mansion (GameCube), as Luigi wasn't trapped in the mansion and didn't specifically ask for the player's help. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, that was the only thing that came to my mind in connection with haunted mansions, but even I was fairly sure it wasn't that, and my knowledge doesn't extend far beyond Tetris and the first few levels of SuperMarioWorld! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 20:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I think the haunted mansion thing is basically a cliche... There are a million of 'em, I bet. Like ''The Haunted Mansion'', a Disney movie-slash-game. Although it does sound vaguely familiar... Think old stuff. Like the Floppy Disk Container. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Actually, it just occurred to me that "I/We/They Need Your Help!" is a common theme in [[Wikipedia:Choose Your Own Adventure]] books, which are what this Toon is obviously based on. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 21:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:by the way, the line from the start that says "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" is a quote from the video game "the curse of monkey island, and possibly other games in the Monkey Island Series. - [[User:rando|random]] 21:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
It is a reference, to FMV-based adventure games. I added that... but we should probably find a more family-friendly example of FMV adventure games than Phantasmagoria.

== Walter ==

I don't know about the rest of you, but I was dying with laughter when I saw Pom Pom dressed as Walter Soebchek from The Big Lebowski. My friends and I love that movie and it has some of the best quotes I've heard. Anyway, just wanted to voice my pleasure. -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]]

:That's what happens, Langham. That's what happens when you hack a wiki in the back door!

::LMAO!!!

== Tofu Homestar Update? ==

I just watched the toon for the first time earlier today, and the Tofu Homestar ending is different than what is listed in the transcript. In the version I saw, the top block of Tofu actually does fall off, and it lands in the cauldron with a splash. This cuases Homestar to transform to his usual look, and Marzipan says once again that Homestar is back to his usual self, this time in a disappointed-sounding tone. Homestar then proceeds to tell Marzipan that her costume makes her butt look big.
:Yup; they updated the toon! and now the transcript's been updated too. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:26, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Gossamer Goof ==

Um, sorry TBC, but Gossamer was not the bright orange color you depicted him as. Not even in his first appearance. He was red. Straight red. Even his cameos in the Looney Tunes movies he was red. -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 14:35, 1 November 2005 (CST)
:Hey, you're right. If you want to add it under Goofs (or Remarks), that seems right to me. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::you do realize that TBC, probably don't read the wiki talk pages, right? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:54, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I think they knew that (Gossamer was red). I noticed that too but didn't make much of it for some reason (cue in willing suspension of disbelief). I can only guess that they made him orange as a Halloween Gag (or even to avoid copyright issues? -- ha! right. Though save that one difference he does look a lot like gossimer.) BTW where is there mention of this in the page again? Is it in the transcript, RWR? I couldn't find mention of this. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:03, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== How Do They Know? ==
How do they (who ever they are) know what the origanal posion read?
# You can read it yourself if you pause the Flash file and look really close.
# It's dot com used a Flash decompiler on it; it exists in the Flash file without the bug and duckie drawings. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Throw a TV on 'im! ==

*"Throw a TV on 'im!" is an oblique reference to [[virus]], where Strong Bad says "Drop a train on 'em!"

I added this inside reference, and it was removed a bit later due to "questionable merit" (by someone who doesn't have a user page, I noticed). So I figured I'd mention it here and see if people agree on whether it should be included as a Fun Fact or not. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 21:47, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: This is what [[STUFF]] is for, but I personally don't think it's a reference, if only because of the absence of the word "drop." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Homsar's highlight ==

This fact has been added and deleted multiple times:

In the costume gallery, Homsar is available if you found him. However, he can still be highlighted even others are talking.

The last time with:

Homsar can be highlighted because he is a sprite overlaying the scene

But how does that make it not a goof? Obviously, TBC went out of their way to remove the ability to highlight all of the other characters, so Homsar's highlight does seem rather Goof-ish to me. Don't utter the words "Flash artifact"; this doesn't fit the description. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: My (partial) mistake; it's listed in Remarks. I still think it's a Goof. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree on the goofishness. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::: It has to do with how the Flash file is set up. Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user. That's why I think it should still be listed as a goof, even knowing the mechanism by which it occurs. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::: What? The technical reason is why it ''shouldn't'' be listed as a goof. Goofs are when TBC make an actual ''mistake''. This is not a mistake; therefore, it is just a remark. If you really wanted to, you could list it as a glitch. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::: Actually, glitches seems like a good place for it, so I moved it there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::: My two and one half cents: A glitch implies that Flash is behaving in a way that it should not. Flash is behaving exactly as it should, though. Wot. --[[User:65.184.26.220|65.184.26.220]] 19:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::: You have a good point, 65. But a Goof implies that TBC are behaving in ways that ''they'' should not. TBC put that scene together exactly as they should, so it's not a Goof. Goofs should be reserved for bona fide mistakes. If Glitches is out, then that just leaves Remarks. But on the other hand, I think Glitches is a good fit for this fact, because putting it there highlights pecularities in the Flash file without stigmatizing the result. I think that's the direction the Glitches category is ultimately taking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Hi guys. When the page was being built I was actually the first one to move this comment from a goof to a remark. The way I saw it at the time was that, even if they had time limitations to deal with, and given that putting homesar in there the right way would be much work, I thought and still think that it was purposely left the way it was made because it was "homesar-ish". The odd behavior fits perfectly with... well... everything else he does. One way or another I'm pretty sure that TBC knew of the flash limitations and that it would behave the way it does now. In the end they probably decided this would be a good way to present homesar's easter egg. Following that line of reasoning I think it belongs as a remark. That's just my opinion. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:09, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Eyes ==

Did anyone else notice that Marzipan's eyes, in the beginning, cause a bit of her facial outline to disappear when she blinks? You have to zoom in, and it's only the duration of her blinking, so you have to have a sharp eye. A possible goof?— {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone else consider the appearance of the Strange Looking Marzipan to be similar to that of Salad Fingers? Especially the teeth?

:Oh gods... I hate you, Burnsides. I followed that link and watched the Salad Fingers toons and I can't remember the last time I was as thoroughly creeped out.

== Chuck Taylor Reference? ==

In my opinion, Homestar said "The woods are chuck full of.." or something to that effect. This may refer to his shoes, Converse All-Stars, or Chuck Taylors. What do you think?
:I think he simply mispronounced the word "chock" - the term "chock full" is a common phrase. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::Althought Strong Bad did mention this once before when he said "Chuck Taylor wearing low self-esteemers." {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:05, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Found it: [[best thing]] (the Limozeen cartoon episode). Given that, I think this reference is possible, but it may be a bit of a stretch, considering (a) Homestar wasn't talking about his shoes, and (b) "chock full" is still a common phrase that is entirely appropriate for this context. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== Date of release ==

While I do agree that it was released a little too late, shouldn't we (and don't we always) go by the official date on the [[Main Pages]]? I remember [[A Folky Tale]] was released shortly after midnight, but TBC called it a Monday update, and so did we. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah but like TBC said, it was still October in some time zones ''including'' the Mountain Time Zone which is Utah's time zone and thus the time zone where the server for this wiki resides, is it not!? ;) So by their own admission they've confessed to releasing it for those time zones, and I am sure that they set their watches so that they'd have the "correct" time of 11:30 MST. :D --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:49, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:Ummm... no. They just tried to release it at least in time to let a few time zones appreciate it. Those would be: 
#Midway island; Samoa.
#Hawaii.
#Alaska.
#The West Coast, most notably British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, and a bit of Mexico. To a lesser extent, I think the Yukon's also in there.
#And Mountain time. Which has some Alberta, Utah, Arizona, Probably some Northwest Territories, ect.
Besides that, Halloween was over. That would also explain their 12 hour update to the toon, they released it before it was done, then fixed a few minor things they wanted. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:56, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

==The Cheat Noises==

I missed the discussion (if there ever was any), did we ever come to a decision about guessing what The Cheat says, and noting it in the transcript. Because The Cheat is obviously (to me) saying "I'm the best!", a phrase Toad often said, such as in Mario Kart. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:I think we did decide that we don't put words in The Cheat's mouth. However, I also think we can make an exception this time, since what The Cheat is saying is a direct reference to Mario Kart 64 and similar. If he wasn't in costume, I'd say no, but... It's okay if he is. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Yeah, we should just forget about trying to translate the "the cheat" noises there. To hard. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::The previous discussion was at [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#Standardize_.22The_Cheat_Noises.22|HRWiki:Standards]]. The best thing I had to say there regarding the situation here was this: "I do believe that there does exist that tiny fraction where it actually sounds like he's saying something. But these cases are quite rare." So, if it really can be determined (from context or whatever) that he's saying "I'm the best", then it should at least be mentioned somewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:11, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::::''Edit Conflict:'' I agree. There are several instances where I've heard noises that are very close to the words that would fit perfectly in context.

== The Mysterious Man of Mischief ==

We have all known for a long time that Strong Bad mercilessly torment Strong Sad. But I got to thinking after the Halloween Toon mention ''the essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water'' that how many time has SB teased SM? I remember the potato salad in the drawer but are there other examples out there.

Also does anyone think that it is worth it to list the times Strong Bad has tormented other people like glueing SS's hands to his face and locking him in the bath tub at Decemberween? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:We already have [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad]]. I don't think we need a page like that for everybody. SB is just not a very nice person, and I don't think we need proof by cataloging every instance. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 15:16, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

==Strong Sad n' Say==

Wouldn't Strong Sad saying "each day you die a little more" be a slight reference to Spin n' Say? I found the way he said it in this toon quite similar to the way he said it in the game. [[User:Teh_Frossty_One|Teh_Frossty_One]]

== Homestar gets an item ==

== Shorty ==

I'm trying to figure out why Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty" (right before giving him the JP3 collector's spoon). I have two ideas: if "stick and move, stick and move" is a [[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out]] reference, then it makes sense (Little Mac was extremely short). The other possibility is that the actor who played Moocher in Breaking Away, Jackie Earle Haley, was also extremely short (you can see that [http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/0355097/JackieEarleHaleytrophies.jpg here], although it's more noticeable while watching the movie.

== There are five endings to this toon… ==

::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Here's a bit more complicated answer. They're chosen due to the remainder after the equasion. Each choice you make adds a number to the total, eventually you'll end up with a number, like 13 or something. 13 % 5 would equal 2 with a remainder of 3. That means you'd get ending number 3. Depending on if you have a remainder of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you'll get one of 5 endings, appropriately named 0-4.

==Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty"--my explanation==

Sorry, not a member. But I noticed that in the references section, it rants about how Homestar is actually taller than Bubs and Bubs calls Homestar shorty, but I think that whoever wrote that fails to understand why he called him shorty. Homestar dresses up as the character "Moocher" from the 1979 film "Breaking Away" in which people discriminate Moocher for his smaller build. Whenever someone calls Moocher "Shorty", he gets really mad. There were two instances in which he did that. First, when he got a job at the gas station, and his manager said "Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty." And that's just what he did. The second instance is when a nemesis college frat jerk called him shorty which sparked a mass bar fight. Just thought I'd clear that up for all 'yall.

== Homestar's impressions ==

Whoever wrote in the Easter Eggs about Homestar's shady drifter impression is wrong.

== Objects as Inside references ==

I had removed a bunch of Inside references (such as the KFC bucket, Pom Poms gun, a broken TV, etc) citing that these are just mundane objects and graphics that TBC reuse so that they don't have to redraw them every time. My change was reverted saying that many of these objects have their own articles meaning that they are not mundane; they are significant objects and, therefore, are considered inside references. I didn't want to start a reverting war, so I'm starting this discussion to get others opinions.

My opinion is this: It's fine that these objects have their own articles, but do we really need to say "Ooh! theres that KFC bucket again!" every time it appears? As time goes on, I'm sure many objects in the HR universe will have their own articles, and adding each and every one as an Inside Reference will be a lot. These facts just add clutter to the article without adding anything interesting. If anyone is interested in the KFC bucket it has its own article for that reason. Furthermore, I don't really see these as "inside references." Usually an inside reference makes some sort of explicit connection to a previous toon. There is no real connection between the broken TVs in this toon and the ones in previous toons. They're just generic broken TVs. I don't think TBC were saying "you know what will blow our viewers' minds away? if we use the SAME broken tv as in that other toon! it'll be hilarious!" So theres my thoughts. Any opinions? - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 15:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
:I tend to agree that reused objects and sounds don't make good fun facts, but some people tend to like these facts, but only sometimes.

== Possible Glitch? (Maybe Not Noteworthy But It Is Weird) ==

Okay, I was listening to the toon while on Wikipedia at the same time. I loaded a fairly big page and that caused the toon to hiccup as Homestar presented the stirring utensil to Marizpan. Not a big deal when this usually happens, but this time it hiccuped and instead of Homestar giving Marzipan the Jurassic Park 3 Collector spoon (which I selected) he gave her the chewed up pen.

To avoid being confusing here is what I selected and here's what the computer did with the hiccup.

*Me: 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 = Cycloptic Homestar
*Computer: 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 = French Homestar

The odd result was, that it DID come out as Cyclopic Homestar, but after the toon ended and it went to the characters, the audio for French Homestar began playing.

Not sure if this can be at all notable but I thought it was strange enough to mention. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 05:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

In Majora's Mask, there was a sidequest involving four deku scrubs in various locations. You needed to get the title deeds and trade with them. I can't remember but it is possible they used the phrase in all this. Makes sense considering the Tingle costume. --[[User:Bacon warrior|Bacon warrior]] 20:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:They didn't [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

:: The phrase has not only been used in contexts that have nothing whatsoever to do with The Legend of Zelda, but the sidequest in question did not involve Tingle in any way (in spite of the fact that it was in Tingle's first game). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

==A couple of transcript points==

Sounds to me more like Bubs says MAYBE you got a witch's brew goin'. Also, it sounds more like Marzipan says Homestar [[Wikipedia:Michael Winner|Michael Winner]], but that's just silly :P Also also, does Coach Z's comment on mailmen make any sense to anybody?

:The relevance of "baby" is described in Fun Facts. Coach Z's comment was an unexpected twist to the conversation he seemed to be having with Pom Pom - up until the word "mailmen" it sounded more like they were talking about women (IMHO). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:30, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

::I thought he said "male men" the first time, but that doesn't really make much sense either. By the way, having listened to that clip quite a few times through halfdecent headphones, I still say Bubs says MAYBE, even if it is a reference...

:::Maybe Marzipan was talking 'bout [[Homeschool Winner|This Micheal]]. It sounds like it to me.--[[User:68.239.117.11|68.239.117.11]] 12:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Somebody noted the following in an abortive Real-World Reference:
*[[Wikipedia:Michael_Winner|Michael Winner]] is a British movie director who directed the first [[Wikipedia:Death Wish|Death Wish]] movie, among others. He celebrated his 70th birthday two days before this cartoon aired.

::::The use of "Michael" here as Homestar's nickname, to those familiar with the above director, might suggest a leap to "Winner," thus Homeschool Winner. In an even trickier twist, the words immediately preceding are "you '''win'''!"

== Homestar's transformations ==
I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.

:Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. [[User:Azure Haights|Azure Haights]] 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::I don't think that's it. I went through once with each item, and got [[The Goblin]], Tofu Homestar, and a cyclops Homestar. I bet a decompiler will help this one. Maybe. I dunno exactly what they do. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::It seems as though the result is dependent on the sum of the choices. A sum divisible by 5 results in tofu homestar, 12 (and presumably 7) results in french homestar, and 11 (and presumably 6) results in cyclops homestar.

I think a better way is to arrange the effects by their supposed outcome based on the formula on tha main page, and see if that works. I've already done that on my talk page; if we want to copy it in here, by all means, do. [[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC) EDIT: Oh wow, DorianGray, you're fast. [[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

=== The Code ===
This is the code for the ending:
<pre>function showEnding () {
var _local3 = 0
for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){
_local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]
}
_local3 = (_local3) % 5
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)
}</pre>

The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:
<pre>end1: tofu
end2: eyeball
end3: Frenchman
end4: grodelated Marzipan
end5: the Goblin</pre>
So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

For some reason I get something different:
<pre>function showEnding()
{
var _l3 = 0;
var _l2 = 0;
while (_l2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS)
{
_l3 = _l3 + answers[_l2];
++_l2;
} // end while
_l3 = _l3 % 5;
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_l3 + 1));
} // End of the function</pre>

:I only know a little about ActionScript, but my guess is that the difference lies in the way that the programs reverse-engineer (as well as interpret) the ActionScript, which is supposed to be a type of Machine-like language. Less sophisticated programs may not be able to extract all of the original information and produce code that's closer to the original. However both functions, in fact, produce exactly the same code! (''for'' loops are nothing more than glorified ''while'' loops) Hope that helps.

== Transformations theory... ==

As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

: Uh, I'd say it's more a pretty direct reference to the fact that 'n' can be used as a contraction for "and": "K and F and C", giving us the familiar letters in a non-registered-servicemark-infringing form. As for a reference to "getting lucky"... if kids understand what that means before they "should", that's on their parents. That's the whole point of a euphemism... it can be used in mixed company. Besides, who are we to say what "getting lucky" means in Homestar's head? All in all, I'd worry about where your mind is going and let TBC worry about theirs...

:I think you're confusing definitions of "legendary." When one says: Reagan's prediliction for jellybeans was legendary, one means that it is "well known and worth telling stories about," not "mythical."

I just watched the toon for the first time earlier today, and the Tofu Homestar ending is different than what is listed in the transcript. In the version I saw, the top block of Tofu actually does fall off, and it lands in the cauldron with a splash. This cuases Homestar to transform to his usual look, and Marzipan says once again that Homestar is back to his usual self, this time in a disappointed-sounding tone. Homestar then proceeds to tell Marzipan that her costume makes her butt look big.

In the costume gallery, Homsar is available if you found him. However, he can still be highlighted even others are talking.

The last time with:

Homsar can be highlighted because he is a sprite overlaying the scene

But how does that make it not a goof? Obviously, TBC went out of their way to remove the ability to highlight all of the other characters, so Homsar's highlight does seem rather Goof-ish to me. Don't utter the words "Flash artifact"; this doesn't fit the description. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: My (partial) mistake; it's listed in Remarks. I still think it's a Goof. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree on the goofishness. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::: It has to do with how the Flash file is set up. Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user. That's why I think it should still be listed as a goof, even knowing the mechanism by which it occurs. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::: What? The technical reason is why it ''shouldn't'' be listed as a goof. Goofs are when TBC make an actual ''mistake''. This is not a mistake; therefore, it is just a remark. If you really wanted to, you could list it as a glitch. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::: Actually, glitches seems like a good place for it, so I moved it there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::: My two and one half cents: A glitch implies that Flash is behaving in a way that it should not. Flash is behaving exactly as it should, though. Wot. --[[User:65.184.26.220|65.184.26.220]] 19:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::: You have a good point, 65. But a Goof implies that TBC are behaving in ways that ''they'' should not. TBC put that scene together exactly as they should, so it's not a Goof. Goofs should be reserved for bona fide mistakes. If Glitches is out, then that just leaves Remarks. But on the other hand, I think Glitches is a good fit for this fact, because putting it there highlights pecularities in the Flash file without stigmatizing the result. I think that's the direction the Glitches category is ultimately taking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Hi guys. When the page was being built I was actually the first one to move this comment from a goof to a remark. The way I saw it at the time was that, even if they had time limitations to deal with, and given that putting homesar in there the right way would be much work, I thought and still think that it was purposely left the way it was made because it was "homesar-ish". The odd behavior fits perfectly with... well... everything else he does. One way or another I'm pretty sure that TBC knew of the flash limitations and that it would behave the way it does now. In the end they probably decided this would be a good way to present homesar's easter egg. Following that line of reasoning I think it belongs as a remark. That's just my opinion. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:09, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Eyes ==

Did anyone else notice that Marzipan's eyes, in the beginning, cause a bit of her facial outline to disappear when she blinks? You have to zoom in, and it's only the duration of her blinking, so you have to have a sharp eye. A possible goof?— {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Strange Looking Marzipan ==

Does anyone else consider the appearance of the Strange Looking Marzipan to be similar to that of Salad Fingers? Especially the teeth?

[[User:Colonel Burnsides|Colonel Burnsides]] 23:01, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:I always just figured it a culmination of the "horrifying" PBTC Marzipan from [[mile]] and [[modeling|The Dame With Hard-To-Look-At Teeth]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Oh gods... I hate you, Burnsides. I followed that link and watched the Salad Fingers toons and I can't remember the last time I was as thoroughly creeped out.

== Chuck Taylor Reference? ==

In my opinion, Homestar said "The woods are chuck full of.." or something to that effect. This may refer to his shoes, Converse All-Stars, or Chuck Taylors. What do you think?
:I think he simply mispronounced the word "chock" - the term "chock full" is a common phrase. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::Althought Strong Bad did mention this once before when he said "Chuck Taylor wearing low self-esteemers." {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:05, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Found it: [[best thing]] (the Limozeen cartoon episode). Given that, I think this reference is possible, but it may be a bit of a stretch, considering (a) Homestar wasn't talking about his shoes, and (b) "chock full" is still a common phrase that is entirely appropriate for this context. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== Date of release ==

While I do agree that it was released a little too late, shouldn't we (and don't we always) go by the official date on the [[Main Pages]]? I remember [[A Folky Tale]] was released shortly after midnight, but TBC called it a Monday update, and so did we. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:This wasn't just a little after midnight, this was 1:30 a.m. Atlanta time. They admitted they were late with their message: "It's still Halloween in certain timezones." Sorry, guys, but you released it in November. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:31, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah but like TBC said, it was still October in some time zones ''including'' the Mountain Time Zone which is Utah's time zone and thus the time zone where the server for this wiki resides, is it not!? ;) So by their own admission they've confessed to releasing it for those time zones, and I am sure that they set their watches so that they'd have the "correct" time of 11:30 MST. :D --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:49, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:Ummm... no. They just tried to release it at least in time to let a few time zones appreciate it. Those would be: 
#Midway island; Samoa.
#Hawaii.
#Alaska.
#The West Coast, most notably British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, and a bit of Mexico. To a lesser extent, I think the Yukon's also in there.
#And Mountain time. Which has some Alberta, Utah, Arizona, Probably some Northwest Territories, ect.
Besides that, Halloween was over. That would also explain their 12 hour update to the toon, they released it before it was done, then fixed a few minor things they wanted. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:56, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

==The Cheat Noises==

I missed the discussion (if there ever was any), did we ever come to a decision about guessing what The Cheat says, and noting it in the transcript. Because The Cheat is obviously (to me) saying "I'm the best!", a phrase Toad often said, such as in Mario Kart. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:I think we did decide that we don't put words in The Cheat's mouth. However, I also think we can make an exception this time, since what The Cheat is saying is a direct reference to Mario Kart 64 and similar. If he wasn't in costume, I'd say no, but... It's okay if he is. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Yeah, we should just forget about trying to translate the "the cheat" noises there. To hard. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::The previous discussion was at [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#Standardize_.22The_Cheat_Noises.22|HRWiki:Standards]]. The best thing I had to say there regarding the situation here was this: "I do believe that there does exist that tiny fraction where it actually sounds like he's saying something. But these cases are quite rare." So, if it really can be determined (from context or whatever) that he's saying "I'm the best", then it should at least be mentioned somewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:11, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::::''Edit Conflict:'' I agree. There are several instances where I've heard noises that are very close to the words that would fit perfectly in context. I beleive some of those words might even be in the SB email easter egg where we have his noises translated by a notable expert in the field of The Cheat-speak. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::::I for one am highly in favor of adding a Fun Fact, that "I'm The Best" is a common Toad phrase. However, in order to do so, it would likely first need to be added to the transcript.

:I also don't like the way the transcript explains "Poomp" as being the effect made when Toad crashes. It has very little do to with Toad crashing, but it always happens when I kart lands after going off a high cliff. I think it should be reworded to reflect that. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

I remember the potato salad in the drawer but are there other examples out there.

Also does anyone think that it is worth it to list the times Strong Bad has tormented other people like glueing SS's hands to his face and locking him in the bath tub at Decemberween? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

The other possibility is that the actor who played Moocher in Breaking Away, Jackie Earle Haley, was also extremely short (you can see that [http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/0355097/JackieEarleHaleytrophies.jpg here], although it's more noticeable while watching the movie.

== There are five endings to this toon… ==

The explanation expresses the formula as this: '''x % 5 + 1''' with a resultant range of 1-5, but then someone numbered the outcomes 0-4, what gives?
:The outcomes are numbered 1-5. It's the ''remainders'' that are 0-4, i.e., before you add that 1 to it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:57, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Here's a bit more complicated answer. They're chosen due to the remainder after the equasion. Each choice you make adds a number to the total, eventually you'll end up with a number, like 13 or something. 13 % 5 would equal 2 with a remainder of 3. That means you'd get ending number 3. Depending on if you have a remainder of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you'll get one of 5 endings, appropriately named 0-4. It's a bit hard to explain, but does that make sense? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 08:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

("Some questionable water, some stank water, ...and give it a stir with this Jurassic Park 3 Collector's Spoon, and give it a stir with this toilet brush...")

==Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty"--my explanation==

Sorry, not a member. But I noticed that in the references section, it rants about how Homestar is actually taller than Bubs and Bubs calls Homestar shorty, but I think that whoever wrote that fails to understand why he called him shorty. Homestar dresses up as the character "Moocher" from the 1979 film "Breaking Away" in which people discriminate Moocher for his smaller build. Whenever someone calls Moocher "Shorty", he gets really mad. There were two instances in which he did that. First, when he got a job at the gas station, and his manager said "Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty." And that's just what he did. The second instance is when a nemesis college frat jerk called him shorty which sparked a mass bar fight. Just thought I'd clear that up for all 'yall.

== Homestar's impressions ==

Whoever wrote in the Easter Eggs about Homestar's shady drifter impression is wrong.
This isn't an 'option' like the Reagan impression; Homestar just does it as part of the easter egg. That fact should be removed.

== Objects as Inside references ==

I had removed a bunch of Inside references (such as the KFC bucket, Pom Poms gun, a broken TV, etc) citing that these are just mundane objects and graphics that TBC reuse so that they don't have to redraw them every time. My change was reverted saying that many of these objects have their own articles meaning that they are not mundane; they are significant objects and, therefore, are considered inside references. I didn't want to start a reverting war, so I'm starting this discussion to get others opinions.

My opinion is this: It's fine that these objects have their own articles, but do we really need to say "Ooh! theres that KFC bucket again!" every time it appears? As time goes on, I'm sure many objects in the HR universe will have their own articles, and adding each and every one as an Inside Reference will be a lot. These facts just add clutter to the article without adding anything interesting. If anyone is interested in the KFC bucket it has its own article for that reason. Furthermore, I don't really see these as "inside references." Usually an inside reference makes some sort of explicit connection to a previous toon. There is no real connection between the broken TVs in this toon and the ones in previous toons. They're just generic broken TVs. I don't think TBC were saying "you know what will blow our viewers' minds away? if we use the SAME broken tv as in that other toon! it'll be hilarious!" So theres my thoughts. Any opinions? - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 15:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
:I tend to agree that reused objects and sounds don't make good fun facts, but some people tend to like these facts, but only sometimes.

::: Yea I was thinking of that as a potential reason for keeping a mention of them somewhere in the article... I noticed that a lot of other articles have these types of things linked in the transcript when they come up. for example: "Bubs has a bucket containing a [[Orange_Bowl_and_Spoon#Wooden_Spoon|wooden spoon]], a brush, etc" I think that this is a better place for them to be linked since, as I mentioned before, these aren't really References. - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 12:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
::::I can see that working sometimes, but rarely. After a while, repeated linking in the transcript starts to look really ugly.

== Diapers come true? Hopefully not... ==

Dear Hrwiki,

Homestar's "sing a saong" option in scene four has ''got'' to refer to something! I just know it. I have scoured the Fun Facts and Transcript and found nothing. Is it even a real song? I know that I have heard that tune before...

== Possible Glitch? (Maybe Not Noteworthy But It Is Weird) ==

Okay, I was listening to the toon while on Wikipedia at the same time. I loaded a fairly big page and that caused the toon to skip. Not a big deal when this usually happens, but this time it hiccuped and instead of Homestar giving Marzipan the Jurassic Park 3 Collector spoon (which I selected) he gave her the chewed up pen.

To avoid being confusing here is what I selected and here's waht the computer did with the hiccup.

*Me: 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 = Cycloptic Homestar
*Computer: 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 = French Homestar

The odd result was, that it DID come out as Cyclopic Homestar, but after the toon ended and it went to the characters, the audio for French Homestar began playing.

Not sure if this can be at all noteable but I thought it was strange enough to mention. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 05:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's transformations ==
I've figured out that what Homestar turns into at the very end depends on what "essence" you get from Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. "Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar.

:I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

=== The Code ===
This is the code for the ending:
<pre>function showEnding () {
var _local3 = 0
for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){
_local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]
}
_local3 = (_local3) % 5
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)
}</pre>

The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:
<pre>end1: tofu
end2: eyeball
end3: Frenchman
end4: grodelated Marzipan
end5: the Goblin</pre>
So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

For some reason I get something different:
<pre>function showEnding()
{
var _l3 = 0;
var _l2 = 0;
while (_l2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS)
{
_l3 = _l3 + answers[_l2];
++_l2;
} // end while
_l3 = _l3 % 5;
_root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_l3 + 1));
} // End of the function</pre>

:I only know a little about ActionScript, but my guess is that the difference lies in the way that the programs reverse-engineer (as well as interpret) the ActionScript, which is supposed to be a type of Machine-like language. Less sophisticated programs may not be able to extract all of the original information and produce code that's closer to the original. However both functions, in fact, produce exactly the same code!

== Transformations theory... ==

As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

As for a reference to "getting lucky"... if kids understand what that means before they "should", that's on their parents. That's the whole point of a euphemism... it can be used in mixed company.

:I think you're confusing definitions of "legendary."

== Tofu Homestar Update? ==

I just watched the toon for the first time earlier today, and the Tofu Homestar ending is different than what is listed in the transcript. In the version I saw, the top block of Tofu actually does fall off, and it lands in the cauldron with a splash. This cuases Homestar to transform to his usual look, and Marzipan says once again that Homestar is back to his usual self, this time in a disappointed-sounding tone. Homestar then proceeds to tell Marzipan that her costume makes her butt look big.

This fact has been added and deleted multiple times:

In the costume gallery, Homsar is available if you found him. However, he can still be highlighted even others are talking.

The last time with:

Homsar can be highlighted because he is a sprite overlaying the scene

But how does that make it not a goof? Obviously, TBC went out of their way to remove the ability to highlight all of the other characters, so Homsar's highlight does seem rather Goof-ish to me. Don't utter the words "Flash artifact"; this doesn't fit the description. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
: My (partial) mistake; it's listed in Remarks. I still think it's a Goof. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:: I agree on the goofishness. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::: It has to do with how the Flash file is set up. Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user. That's why I think it should still be listed as a goof, even knowing the mechanism by which it occurs. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
::::: What? The technical reason is why it ''shouldn't'' be listed as a goof. Goofs are when TBC make an actual ''mistake''. This is not a mistake; therefore, it is just a remark.

:::::::: You have a good point, 65. But a Goof implies that TBC are behaving in ways that ''they'' should not. TBC put that scene together exactly as they should, so it's not a Goof. Goofs should be reserved for bona fide mistakes. If Glitches is out, then that just leaves Remarks. But on the other hand, I think Glitches is a good fit for this fact, because putting it there highlights pecularities in the Flash file without stigmatizing the result. I think that's the direction the Glitches category is ultimately taking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::::Hi guys. When the page was being built I was actually the first one to move this comment from a goof to a remark. The way I saw it at the time was that, even if they had time limitations to deal with, and given that putting homesar in there the right way would be much work, I thought and still think that it was purposely left the way it was made because it was "homesar-ish". The odd behavior fits perfectly with... well... everything else he does. One way or another I'm pretty sure that TBC knew of the flash limitations and that it would behave the way it does now. In the end they probably decided this would be a good way to present homesar's easter egg. Following that line of reasoning I think it belongs as a remark.

== Chuck Taylor Reference? ==

In my opinion, Homestar said "The woods are chuck full of.." or something to that effect. This may refer to his shoes, Converse All-Stars, or Chuck Taylors. What do you think?
:I think he simply mispronounced the word "chock" - the term "chock full" is a common phrase. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::Althought Strong Bad did mention this once before when he said "Chuck Taylor wearing low self-esteemers." {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:05, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Found it: [[best thing]] (the Limozeen cartoon episode). Given that, I think this reference is possible, but it may be a bit of a stretch, considering (a) Homestar wasn't talking about his shoes, and (b) "chock full" is still a common phrase that is entirely appropriate for this context. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== Date of release ==

While I do agree that it was released a little too late, shouldn't we (and don't we always) go by the official date on the [[Main Pages]]? I remember [[A Folky Tale]] was released shortly after midnight, but TBC called it a Monday update, and so did we. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:This wasn't just a little after midnight, this was 1:30 a.m. Atlanta time. They admitted they were late with their message: "It's still Halloween in certain timezones." Sorry, guys, but you released it in November. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:31, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah but like TBC said, it was still October in some time zones ''including'' the Mountain Time Zone which is Utah's time zone and thus the time zone where the server for this wiki resides, is it not!? ;) So by their own admission they've confessed to releasing it for those time zones, and I am sure that they set their watches so that they'd have the "correct" time of 11:30 MST. :D --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:49, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:Ummm... no. They just tried to release it at least in time to let a few time zones appreciate it. Those would be: 
#Midway island; Samoa.
#Hawaii.
#Alaska.
#The West Coast, most notably British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, and a bit of Mexico. To a lesser extent, I think the Yukon's also in there.
#And Mountain time. Which has some Alberta, Utah, Arizona, Probably some Northwest Territories, ect.
Besides that, Halloween was over. That would also explain their 12 hour update to the toon, they released it before it was done, then fixed a few minor things they wanted. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:56, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

==The Cheat Noises==

I missed the discussion (if there ever was any), did we ever come to a decision about guessing what The Cheat says, and noting it in the transcript. Because The Cheat is obviously (to me) saying "I'm the best!", a phrase Toad often said, such as in Mario Kart. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:36, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:I think we did decide that we don't put words in The Cheat's mouth. However, I also think we can make an exception this time, since what The Cheat is saying is a direct reference to Mario Kart 64 and similar. If he wasn't in costume, I'd say no, but... It's okay if he is. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Yeah, we should just forget about trying to translate the "the cheat" noises there. To hard. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::The previous discussion was at [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#Standardize_.22The_Cheat_Noises.22|HRWiki:Standards]]. The best thing I had to say there regarding the situation here was this: "I do believe that there does exist that tiny fraction where it actually sounds like he's saying something. But these cases are quite rare." So, if it really can be determined (from context or whatever) that he's saying "I'm the best", then it should at least be mentioned somewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:11, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::::''Edit Conflict:'' I agree. There are several instances where I've heard noises that are very close to the words that would fit perfectly in context. I beleive some of those words might even be in the SB email easter egg where we have his noises translated by a notable expert in the field of The Cheat-speak. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::I thought all the "Learn to speak The Cheat" entries were already in the transcripts. That should be checked on. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::::I for one am highly in favor of adding a Fun Fact, that "I'm The Best" is a common Toad phrase. However, in order to do so, it would likely first need to be added to the transcript. Surprisingly enough, it was rather hard to find proof that he actually says that line on the Mario Kart series.

Are there any objections to me adding it to the transcript? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:None whatsoever from me. As a Nintendo fan--and supporter of Toad's Mario Kart 64 voice (as opposed to Super Mario Sunshine and later games)--I think this is very noteable. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I also don't like the way the transcript explains "Poomp" as being the effect made when Toad crashes. It has very little do to with Toad crashing, but it always happens when I kart lands after going off a high cliff. I think it should be reworded to reflect that. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
::Yeah, someone get that outta there. It's already explained in the fun facts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Done. I thought it was worded like a fun fact, which doesn't belong in the transcripts. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]

== An early version ==

The version I watched when the toon first came out is different than the version that exists now. Basically, I have a version open in a browser window from last night, and it doesn't have The Cheat's Easter egg OR Homestar returning to himself after turning into tofu. I'm trying to find it in my temp folders. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 04:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah there's been some mention of it in the discussions. I remember not seeing a The Cheat easter egg - I didn't even know there was one until you mentioned it! I have read about the Tofu thing somewhere in this talk page (and it's prolly in the FF too). Good luck finding the SWF for your old version! That'll be cool if it's still there! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== The Mysterious Man of Mischief ==

We have all known for a long time that Strong Bad mercilessly torment Strong Sad. But I got to thinking after the Halloween Toon mention ''the essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water'' that how many time has SB teased SM? I remember the potato salad in the drawer but are there other examples out there.

Also does anyone think that it is worth it to list the times Strong Bad has tormented other people like glueing SS's hands to his face and locking him in the bath tub at Decemberween? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
:We already have [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad]]. I don't think we need a page like that for everybody. SB is just not a very nice person, and I don't think we need proof by cataloging every instance. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 15:16, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
::But don't forget when Strong
Bad put that pasta in Strong Mad's drawers in [[old comics]]. [[User:Neox|Neox. Duh.]]

==Strong Sad n' Say==

Wouldn't Strong Sad saying "each day you die a little more" be a slight reference to Spin n' Say? I found the way he said it in this toon quite similar to the way he said it in the game. [[User:Teh_Frossty_One|Teh_Frossty_One]]
:Already noted in the article. I do think Marzipan's "Yay! Now I'm not the only girl!" is a reference to it, though. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

:::BTW, what happened to the Spin n' Say? Last time I checked it, it was something where you pushed buttons. I don't like that one. Neox again, signing out...

== Stinko-Speak ==

Isn't Strong Bad saying "That's a worthy cause if ever there was one!" a reference to [[Stinkoman]] "That's the name of a talented fighter if ever there was one."[[20X6 vs. 1936]]? [[User:20X6_GEM]]
:That's what I though at first, but it could easily be a coincidence. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
::That's a worthy fun fact if ever there was one! How can it be a coincidence? If it wasn't intentional, he would have said, "That's a worthy cause if '''there ever''' was one," not the other way around. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
:::Actually, it's usually said the other way around. I think it counts as "common phrase". {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 23:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== Runnin gag? ==

When Homestar's singing that song, would that be another refrence to "Eggs"? [[User:Cakeman|Cakeman]]

== Annd scene ==

Isn't Marzipan saying "ennd scene" instead of "annd scene"? I think that makes more sense...

:"And scene" is what you say at the end of a brief performance, for example in a theater workshop. A brief search turned up many results, five of which I have listed below:

== Homestar gets an item ==

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, I think that the whole thing with the music and the screen that pops up when homestar acquires an item is a reference to something, but I can't recall exactly what it is from. Could it be the Legend of Zelda?--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 05:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
:Well, I think it's a reference to any number of video games, including the Zelda series. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

== Shorty ==

I'm trying to figure out why Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty" (right before giving him the JP3 collector's spoon). I have two ideas: if "stick and move, stick and move" is a [[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out]] reference, then it makes sense (Little Mac was extremely short). The other possibility is that the actor who played Moocher in Breaking Away, Jackie Earle Haley, was also extremely short (you can see that [http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/0355097/JackieEarleHaleytrophies.jpg here], although it's more noticeable while watching the movie. I lean toward the first explanation. Any thoughts? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 10:57, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

==TV ''is'' bad for you==

When The Cheat pushed the TV off the edge, the dent on top was towards the right. But when it landed next to Homestar, it was to the left. I know this is pretty minor, but I just wanted to bring it up. [[User:Teh_Frossty_One|Teh_Frossty_One]]

==...In warm water while he's asleep==

Anyone else think the essence of "putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep" is a reference to that prank where one put his victim's hand in cold water while said victim is asleep, causing the victim to urinate upon him/herself? Sure would explain Strong Mad calling it his secret shame. Should this go in the Real-World References? [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]] 20:39, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

:The outcomes are numbered 1-5. It's the ''remainders'' that are 0-4, i.e., before you add that 1 to it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:57, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Here's a bit more complicated answer. They're chosen due to the remainder after the equasion. Each choice you make adds a number to the total, eventually you'll end up with a number, like 13 or something. 13 % 5 would equal 2 with a remainder of 3. That means you'd get ending number 3. Depending on if you have a remainder of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, you'll get one of 5 endings, appropriately named 0-4. It's a bit hard to explain, but does that make sense? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 08:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

== Wow, check this out! ==

I just discovered something rather interesting and entertaining. I used a Seek Bar to skip ahead to the scene where Marzipan is dressed up as Beaker, and as a result of not answering the questions earlier in the toon, I got to watch all of the possible "ingredients" in order. ("Some questionable water, some stank water, ...and give it a stir with this Jurassic Park 3 Collector's Spoon, and give it a stir with this toilet brush...") Also, backing up to the point where Homestar gets his words from Strong Sad, you can see all of the responses rapidly changing in their blanks. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

==Bubs calls Homestar "Shorty"--my explanation==

Sorry, not a member. But I noticed that in the references section, it rants about how Homestar is actually taller than Bubs and Bubs calls Homestar shorty, but I think that whoever wrote that fails to understand why he called him shorty. Homestar dresses up as the character "Moocher" from the 1979 film "Breaking Away" in which people discriminate Moocher for his smaller build. Whenever someone calls Moocher "Shorty", he gets really mad. There were two instances in which he did that. First, when he got a job at the gas station, and his manager said "Don't forget to punch the clock, shorty." And that's just what he did. The second instance is when a nemesis college frat jerk called him shorty which sparked a mass bar fight. Just thought I'd clear that up for all 'yall.

== Homestar's impressions ==

Whoever wrote in the Easter Eggs about Homestar's shady drifter impression is wrong.
This isn't an 'option' like the Reagan impression; Homestar just does it as part of the easter egg. That fact should be removed.

That was actually Richard Nixon who gave the Checkers speech. Now, I wouldn't put it past Homestar to get those two mixed up, but I don't think that was what they were going for. [[User:RumbleRed|RumbleRed]] 20:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

== Misplaced trivia ==

* "Strong Sad's line, "Each day we die a little more," and Marzipan's line, "I'm not the only girl," are references to their respective lines from the Who Said What Now?."

You guys are NEVER going to believe it.

I liek Mudkips.
:It IS what I thought of, and they HAVE made [[pokemon]] refs before, however the phrase is [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22choose+it+or+lose+it%22 far too common] to pin to this one thing. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

== Objects as Inside references ==

I had removed a bunch of Inside references (such as the KFC bucket, Pom Poms gun, a broken TV, etc) citing that these are just mundane objects and graphics that TBC reuse so that they don't have to redraw them every time. My change was reverted saying that many of these objects have their own articles meaning that they are not mundane; they are significant objects and, therefore, are considered inside references. I didn't want to start a reverting war, so I'm starting this discussion to get others opinions.

My opinion is this: It's fine that these objects have their own articles, but do we really need to say "Ooh! theres that KFC bucket again!" every time it appears? As time goes on, I'm sure many objects in the HR universe will have their own articles, and adding each and every one as an Inside Reference will be a lot. These facts just add clutter to the article without adding anything interesting. If anyone is interested in the KFC bucket it has its own article for that reason. Furthermore, I don't really see these as "inside references." Usually an inside reference makes some sort of explicit connection to a previous toon. There is no real connection between the broken TVs in this toon and the ones in previous toons. They're just generic broken TVs. I don't think TBC were saying "you know what will blow our viewers' minds away? if we use the SAME broken tv as in that other toon! it'll be hilarious!" So theres my thoughts. Any opinions? - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 15:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
:I tend to agree that reused objects and sounds don't make good fun facts, but some people tend to like these facts, but only sometimes.

That's my 2 cents anyway. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:26, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
::I support keeping facts like this because it allows us to link to the articles for the objects in question.

::: Yea I was thinking of that as a potential reason for keeping a mention of them somewhere in the article... I noticed that a lot of other articles have these types of things linked in the transcript when they come up. for example: "Bubs has a bucket containing a [[Orange_Bowl_and_Spoon#Wooden_Spoon|wooden spoon]], a brush, etc" I think that this is a better place for them to be linked since, as I mentioned before, these aren't really References. - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 12:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
::::I can see that working sometimes, but rarely. After a while, repeated linking in the transcript starts to look really ugly.

== Diapers come true? Hopefully not... ==

Dear Hrwiki,

== Possible Glitch? (Maybe Not Noteworthy But It Is Weird) ==

Okay, I was listening to the toon while on Wikipedia at the same time. I loaded a fairly big page and that caused the toon to skip. Not a big deal when this usually happens, but this time it hiccuped and instead of Homestar giving Marzipan the Jurassic Park 3 Collector spoon (which I selected) he gave her the chewed up pen.

To avoid being confusing here is what I selected and here's waht the computer did with the hiccup.

Me: 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 = Cycloptic Homestar
Computer: 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 = French Homestar

The odd result was, that it DID come out as Cyclopic Homestar, but after the toon ended and it went to the characters, the audio for French Homestar began playing.

Not sure if this can be at all noteable but I thought it was strange enough to mention. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 05:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

== Why "Shaboigen"? ==

Why? I looked and I couldn't see anywhere where it was spelled as Shaboigen, and not the actual spelling of Cheboygan or Sheboygan, depending on which one you're talking about (most likely Cheboygan, because they're in the 20s and referring to bootlegging). --Tony from Cheboygan, MI

I kinda do think they're supposed to be Old Timey Robot, Bland, and Señor. That was my first thought when I saw them, and them not being in the actual toon fits in context the way Mr. Bland and Señor are often mentioned in passing as if they're main characters but they're really not. On the other hand, however, you have different fingers. And since we can't be sure, and since they weren't in the toon and are not likely to ever be in an Old Timey toon, I don't think it needs to be mentioned anywhere but on a talk page.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 00:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

:It's similar, but I think a reference would be a stretch. -[[User:Opus the Penguin|Opus the Penguin]]

== Firehouse reference? ==

This is a bit obscure, but at the end of this cartoon, Sickly Sam says, "I've finally found the love of a lifetime." which could be in reference to a song of the same name from the hard rock band Firehouse (since the Brothers Chaps seem very knowledgable about hard rock bands from that era). Other similar references were "Kevin Dubrow" a Quiet Riot reference from The Bet email and "Here I go again on my own" a Whitesnake reference from the Mile email. Not to mention all the old guitarist pics they have up in their audio recording room (seen in Sample of Style).

:This has been put in and taken out a few times, so I'm willing to debate this. I contend that this ''should'' be included because (a) it ''isn't'' a "common phrase" (I certainly don't go around saying it) and (b) it's an awkward thing to say at the end of a cartoon, unless the joke ''is'' that this is a reference to a semi-obscure 1990s metal song. It just doesn't have a punchline quality or any kind of comedic rhythm to it. I think if it were meant to be taken literally, Sam would have said "I've finally found the love of my life" or something that flowed a little better. Thoughts?

== Give Him the Business ==

When Strong Bad says that step one of the plan is to "give him the business", it reminded me of a couple of referree's description of personal foul penalties. Video clips of them can be found on YouTube, along with a reference from the new American Gladiators. Not sure if someone wants to include that in the Fun Facts, but I'd thought I'd mention it. {{unsigned|148.129.71.52|15:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)}}
:Giving the business is an oooooold expression. Watch just about any ''Leave It To Beaver'' episode to see that it was commonly used back in the late-50's. Here's an example:

<blockquote>
'''Wally:''' Boy, Beaver, wait'll the guys find out you were hanging around with a girl. They'll really give you the business. 
'''Beaver:''' But gee, Wally, you hang around with girls and the guys don't give you the business. 
'''Wally:''' Well, that's because I'm in high school. You can do a lot of stuff in high school without getting the business.
</blockquote>

:Whether or not it was in use much before then, I have no idea. But I do know that this is more likely to be a reference to something old than to something from this year, given that this is an old-timey cartoon. (BTW, I'm not claiming this is a reference to ''Leave It To Beaver'', I'm just making the point that it's an old expression.) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

== So... What happened to them? ==
What do you think happened to Old-Timey Homestar and Old-Timey Marzipan at the Saw Mill? I guess that Fat Dudley came to the rescue just in time, but that wasn't shown. I figured that would be possible for two reasons.

*1: Fat Dudley was mysteriously absent, and should have appeared at some point. This is less likely.
*2:The "Saw Mill" scene is an retro cartoon cliche, and a hero (in this case, Fat Dudley) would have most definetly come to the rescue just in time, as the cliche goes. This is very likely.

So, what do you think happened to them?
:I'm thing of a word. It begins with an "s". What is it? Oh yeah, it's speculation! No offense, but this is complete speculation. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 20:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

== Fact Consolidation? ==
This one is listed under "Explanations":
* Early 20th century films would be partially colorized in some parts of certain scenes for emphasis. This colorization would have to be done after the film was already made.
And this one is listed under "Remarks":
* The first color films appeared in the late 1920s, but experimental color films (which this resembles) with only part of the scene colorized or tinted, were done as early as first decade of the 20th century.
Shouldn't these two be connected together into a single fact?

== Hmmm? ==
I Just Saw That The Way Fort Wayne Locomotive Spells Trouble Is Like How Tigger Fromw That Show About That Bear Spells His Name :T-I-Double G-ger

It's starting to be a running gag thing where, in the teaser, Strong Bad has an awesome costume and turns out to have one nothing like it in the real toon.

:Hmm. In [[Happy Hallow-Day]], Homestar starts the toon in "not his real costume" and in Jibblies 2 Strong Bad had a differently-shaped costume in the prior teaser toon.

I think there should be a page of the graves from this cartoon. {{User:Zoo977/sig}}

Is it worth noting that part of the Carousel (the 1940s scene) takes place during Halloween? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

==Backyardiganz==
Although, the Gravediggaz(?) rap group, seems more appropriate, as it was a Coach Z scene, I actually think that (as someone already said) it was also a Backyardigans refference, I have left the rap group thing in, because I agree with it aswell, It is not impossible to refference 2 things at once.

1. Backyardigans sounds like Graveyeardiganz more than Gravediggaz or whatever) does.

2. Backyardigans is a music based series.

3. There has already been a Yo Gabba Gabba refference in this episode, proving that TBC are (thankfully) not afraid to refference shows primarilly aimed at children. (I actually watch Backyardigans from time to time - not too keen on YGG though) Also note that both shows are on Nick Jr.

== Candy bars ==

Does it need to be mentioned in "Real World References" that 100 Grand is also a candy bar? Just wondered, since you mentioned Watchamacallits. --[[User:Wordmama|Wordmama]] 22:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:Probably not. I think even if you'd never seen or eaten them before you'd be able to tell what they are from the context. I'd completely forgotten about Whatchamacallits until reading here of the reference so I'd imagine others wouldn't initially notice it either. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 02:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Say it! Say it! ==

The article mentions that Strong Sad's comments in the Strong Bad easter egg are typical of Sam Kennison's stand-up act. While this is true, it seems to me that it's a direct reference to his scene in the movie "Back to School." The "Say it! Say it!" line is a direct quote from the movie.

:As an owner of the book, I can say that there is a tale of when Hobos took control of some of the US Federal Government. This seems a more likely reference as Mr. Hodgman has gained more notoriety lately due to his PC commercials, his appearances on The Daily Show. He even has a new book out! Hobo Matters make up about 1/3 the book, so it's more than just a passing reference. I'd say it's worth consideration. - [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]], who needs to log in.

[[Image:Graveyard.png|thumb|right|200px|"If stinky dead people is all you want..."]]

The '''Graveyard''' (named "Always Been Here Acres") is a 200 acre (.3 square miles, or .8 square kilometer) cemetery located behind [[the King of Town]]'s castle and home to a [[carnivorous undead sheep]] that prowls the grounds. First appearing in the Halloween toon [[Most in the Graveyard]], many of [[Bubs]]' relatives are apparently buried here, including his great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold and his great-great granduncle who [[Coach Z]] also claims is his great good-aunt.

'''Page Title:''' Ketchup Fountain SOUL'd Separately!

==Transcript==

''{The toon begins at the King of Town's castle, where a Halloween party is taking place.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

''{The camera zooms out of the window, revealing the cemetery.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Title appears: "Most in the Graveyard", "the credits for the 9th Homestar Halloween Cartoon..." "...are the same as the first 8!"}''

''{Cut to the Cemetery entrance. Everyone is there, with Strong Bad and The Cheat shown to be the last to arrive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''who cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ''{suddenly realises Strong Bad's statement}'' Aww... I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

''{Everyone starts walking into the cemetery grounds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy lot!

''{Cut back to the entrance. The King of Town and the Poopsmith remain.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

''{As the King of Town speaks, a view of a hill within the graveyard is shown, with a sheep shadow bleating loudly at the top of it. Cut to Strong Sad and Marzipan.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. ''{lowers her guitar and pulls out a camera from [[Hammerspace]])'' I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hang on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z, standing in front of a bunch of graves.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down".

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles while pointing to a nearby landmark}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill".

''{Both Homestar and Pom Pom walk up the hill, with a wooden sign labelled "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill" being shown as Homestar mentions it. Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and the Cheat, all near more graves.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad and Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

''{Cut to Coach Z standing near a grave.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

''{Cut to Bubs near a grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' ''{pats Bubs on his right shoulder}'' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifth cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, phew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

''{Cut back to Homestar and Pom Pom, both hiding behind a larger gravestone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy?

''{Pom Pom gets out the candy. The viewpoint then cuts to the inside of a monster's mouth, focusing on Homestar and Pom Pom from a distance. Its breathing can be heard distinctively.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers.

''{The monster's mouth is revealed to be that of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep; it jumps out into viewpoint of Homestar and Pom Pom and bleats loudly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again!

''{Pom Pom pulls out a handgun.}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z, the latter being held up by his collar.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Marzipan. Strong Sad is '''still''' seen holding his breath.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

''{Cut back to the entrance. The King of Town and the Poopsmith haven't moved.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

''{The Poopsmith nods and they both leave the graveyard. Cut back to Homestar, Pom Pom and the sheep.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants!

''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grand into a hundred grand?

''{The Goblin shakes his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought at midnight you—

''{The Goblin does his dance}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappointed}'' Oh, man!

''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music. Disco lights show up during the dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

''{Homestar moves away from the grave and dances with the Goblin. From nearby, Pom Pom pulls out two handguns, and Strong Bad finds the sheep's body.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

''{The King of Town appears nearby.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

''{Fade to one of Marzipan's attempted photos of Strong Sad, with the caption: 'In loving memory of Strong Sad "willed himself to death 10/31/2008". The photograph moves with the final trumpet riffs. Cut to the standard ending scene of the various characters wearing their costumes.}''

Carnivorous Undead Sheep

WarthogDemon — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:56:06 GMT

WarthogDemon: Origin sounds better.

[[Image:snarling hungry sheep.png|thumb|"They call it 'Subject X.'"]]
The '''Carnivorous Undead Sheep''' (also called the "Snarling Hungry Sheep" or "Subject X") is a [[sheep]] first seen in [[Most in the Graveyard]]. It's been known to prowl the [[Graveyard|graveyard]] behind [[The King of Town]]'s [[The King Of Town's Castle|castle]]. The origin of the sheep is unknown, though some say it's an escaped laboratory animal.

The '''Graveyard''' (named "Always Been Here Acres") is a 200 acre (.3 square miles, or .8 square kilometer) cemetery located behind [[the King of Town]]'s castle and home to a [[carnivorous undead sheep]] that prowls the grounds. First appearing in the Halloween toon [[Most in the Graveyard]], many of [[Bubs]]' relatives are apparently buried here, including his great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold and his great-great granduncle who [[Coach Z]] also claims is his great good-aunt.

The Goblin

WarthogDemon — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:38:07 GMT

WarthogDemon: them -> Homestar and Pom Pom (otherwise the "them" sounds like it means Homestar and The Goblin)

[[Image:teh_goblin.PNG|thumb|right|220|"That guy has serious problems."]]
[[Image:goblin_arms_fangs.PNG|thumb|right|220|Concept sketch of The Goblin]]
'''The Goblin''' is a green, [[Lack of Visible Arms|armless]] creature who appears in Halloween episodes. An organ tune plays when he shows up, and he does a short dance. The movement of his feet when dancing is very similar to Leg Movement #1 in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game.

The Goblin was created when [[Homestar Runner]] started telling a pass-along Halloween story in [[Homestarloween Party]]. He seems to make guest appearances in almost all Halloween episodes (the only major Halloween specials he has not appeared in so far are [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] and [[Halloween Fairstival]]).

By virtue of [[Bubs]]'s addition to the pass-along story, he is also the owner of a '73 [[Gremlin]]. He's found hanging out under it in the [[Spooky Woods]] in [[Where's The Cheat?]]. According to the [[Horrible Painting]], he has "serious problems", and Rocoulm refuses to entertain him.

In [[Most in the Graveyard]], Homestar is convinced that finding the Goblin at midnight will allow the Goblin to spin their candy into [[gold]]. The Goblin also saves Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] from the [[Carnivorous Undead Sheep]] and dances to a much funkier beat.

WarthogDemon: /* Screenshots I've Uploaded */ Now the size doesn't suck so bad! :P

Greetings, sir or madam. My name is WarthogDemon. As you can guess, I like Homestar Runner. How did I discover the site? Well...

Many years ago (around the year 2002) I was browsing flash cartoon sites. I forget which one of those sites linked to Homestar Runner, but it did. Not to a main page, but rather it linked straight to the old games. I glanced around but nothing caught my interest. I left and forgot about it for about 2 years. Then while on a cartoon proboard, I became friends with someone who loved the site and reintroduced me to it. He showed me The Cheat's character video and Strong Mad's character video. I decided to explore a little more of this website. I discovered the emails and watched several. I finally became a fan.

SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar

WarthogDemon: /* Appearances */ Sblounskched funsized bar image

[[Image:Other SBLOUNSKCHED bar.png|thumb|200px|"You got... SBLOUNSKCHED!"]]
The '''SBLOUNSKCHED! bar''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s very own brand of candy bar, which he of course needs because he is "famous, popular, and a chick-magnet". It is produced by [[Cheap as Free|Cheap as Free Foodstuffs]]. The [[Onomatopoeia|name of the bar]] is a marketing triumph, and is composed of "50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!!!" The candy [[concoction]] is shaped like Strong Bad's pants, with a bite taken out for security purposes. The missing bite is not reflected in the packaging. According to the end of the commercial, one free root canal or cavity search is offered upon the purchase of one bar.

==Creation of a SBLOUNSKCHED! bar==
[[Image:Sblounskched_process.PNG|right|275px|The making of a SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar.]]
#A '''name''' that's 50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!, as well as a '''wrapper concept''' thought up by Strong Bad.
#Starting candy-making process with a '''gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor'''.
#Encase cloud of marshmallow vapor in a '''globule of semi-solid licorice colloid'''.
#Float several of these in a '''channel of liquid nougat''' (the candy equivalent of veal).
#Roll all that up inside a '''solid crispety cookety log'''.
#Cover it with '''rich, creamy... pepperoni'''.
#Sprinkle that with, not just crispy puffed rice, but '''whole tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice [[cereal]]'''.
#Smother that with the ol' BBC: '''Boring Brown [[Chocolate]]'''.
#Emboss the '''SBLOUNSKCHED! logo''' into the candy bar.
#After trying to think of a better shape than the standard piece-of-crap shape, decide upon and use a '''pair of half-eaten choco-pants''', with a bite taken out for security. At this stage the SBLOUNSKCHED! logo will mysteriously disappear.

==Transcript==

''{The toon begins at the King of Town's castle, where a Halloween party is taking place.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

''{The camera zooms out of the window, revealing the cemetery.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Title appears: "Most in the Graveyard", "the credits for the 9th Homestar Halloween Cartoon..." "...are the same as the first 8!"}''

''{Cut to the Cemetery entrance. Everyone is there, with Strong Bad and The Cheat shown to be the last to arrive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''who cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ''{suddenly realises Strong Bad's statement}'' Aww... I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

''{Everyone starts walking into the cemetery grounds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy lot!

''{Cut back to the entrance. The King of Town and the Poopsmith remain.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

''{As the King of Town speaks, a view of a hill within the graveyard is shown, with a sheep shadow bleating loudly at the top of it. Cut to Strong Sad and Marzipan.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. ''{lowers her guitar and pulls out a camera from [[Hammerspace]])'' I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hang on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z, standing in front of a bunch of graves.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down".

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles while pointing to a nearby landmark}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill".

''{Both Homestar and Pom Pom walk up the hill, with a wooden sign labelled "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill" being shown as Homestar mentions it. Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and the Cheat, all near more graves.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad and Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

''{Cut to Coach Z standing near a grave.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

''{Cut to Bubs near a grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' ''{pats Bubs on his right shoulder}'' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifth cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, phew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

''{Cut back to Homestar and Pom Pom, both hiding behind a larger gravestone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy?

''{Pom Pom gets out the candy. The viewpoint then cuts to the inside of a monster's mouth, focusing on Homestar and Pom Pom from a distance. Its breathing can be heard distinctively.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers.

''{The monster's mouth is revealed to be that of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep; it jumps out into viewpoint of Homestar and Pom Pom and bleats loudly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again!

''{Pom Pom pulls out a handgun.}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z, the latter being held up by his collar.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Marzipan. Strong Sad is '''still''' seen holding his breath.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

''{Cut back to the entrance. The King of Town and the Poopsmith haven't moved.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

''{The Poopsmith nods and they both leave the graveyard. Cut back to Homestar, Pom Pom and the sheep.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants!

''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grand into a hundred grand?

''{The Goblin shakes his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought at midnight you—

''{The Goblin does his dance}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappointed}'' Oh, man!

''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music. Disco lights show up during the dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

''{Homestar moves away from the grave and dances with the Goblin. From nearby, Pom Pom pulls out two handguns, and Strong Bad finds the sheep's body.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

''{The King of Town appears nearby.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanation===
*Coach Z referring to himself as "Coach Zgor Mortizzz" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Rigor_mortis|Rigor Mortis]].

===Trivia===
*The sign at the front of the cemetery reads "Always Been Here Acres".

===Remarks===
*Homsar and the Carnivorous Undead Sheep are drawn with black outlines, instead of the thick, coloured outline style of everything else in the [[Homestar Runner Universe]].

===Fixed Goofs===
*When you clicked on Strong Bad at the end, his lips didn't move when he says, "Uh, I don't know."
*The bubble containing Homsar's description appeared on top of Bubs' body but under his head.
*At the end of the toon, one of Homsar's legs was his normal one and the other was his costume foot (Captain Caveman's).

===Inside References===

*Strong Sad [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiles]] when he thinks he has "willed [himself] to death".
*Homestar Runner again fails to [[What are you supposed to be?|identify the cast's costumes]]. This even includes [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|himself]].
*For the first time since [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], two characters (in this case, Marzipan and The King of Town) have [[Cross-Dressing|cross-dressed]] for Halloween.
*Pom Pom, in nod to his costume choice, is once again seen brandishing [[guns]].
*The candy that Pom Pom produces is a bag of [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|SBLOUNSKCHED!]] Fun Size.
*The King of Town running over the hills while silhouetted is a reference to [[Old Intro 2]].
*The music heard when the Carnivorous Undead Sheep approaches Homestar and Pom Pom is taken from [[Jibblies 2]].
*Homestar's message for his Halloween costume, "Yahoo Serious(ly)", refers to his [[Catch_Phrases#Homestar_Runner|catch phrase]], "Seriously".

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Space Mountain (Disneyland)|Space Mountain]], [[Wikipedia:Mr. Toad's Wild Ride|Mr. Toad's]], [[Wikipedia:Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island|Tom Sawyer's Island]], and [[Wikipedia:Carousel of Progress|Carousel of Progress]] are all attractions at [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney Parks and Resorts|Walt Disney theme parks]], specifically [[Wikipedia:Magic Kingdom|the Magic Kingdom]] and [[Wikipedia:Disneyland|Disneyland]]. Although, neither park currently contains all four attractions since Disneyland's Carousel of Progress closed in 1973 and Disney World's Mr. Toad closed in 1998. The [[Wikipedia:Goofy|Goofy]] lot refers to the parks' parking lots being named after Disney characters.
*Homestar's line "he'll spin all your Halloween candy into gold" is a reference to the fairy tale ''[[Wikipedia:Rumpelstiltskin|Rumpelstiltskin]],'' where the title character had the ability to spin straw into gold.
* Coach Z's album cover featuring him wearing a hockey mask is a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (franchise)|Friday the 13th]]'' series of horror movies. The band name "The Graveyardiganz" refers to the kids' show ''[[Wikipedia:The Backyardigans|The Backyardigans]]''.
*The King of Town's line when clicking on the Poopsmith at the end refers to ''[[Wikipedia:Futurama|Futurama]]'' character [[Wikipedia:Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s catchphrase. Farnsworth employs Dr. Zoidberg.
*Homestar's line when clicking on Marzipan at the end refers to "[[Wikipedia:Pride and Joy (Stevie Ray Vaughan song)|Pride and Joy]]", a song of [[Wikipedia:Stevie Ray Vaughan|Stevie Ray Vaughan's]] from his 1983 album ''[[Wikipedia:Texas Flood|Texas Flood]]''.
*Strong Bad's line "Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?" could possibly refer to [[Wikipedia:John Hodgman|John Hodgman's]] book "The Areas of My Expertise", which features a non-factual factual account of such an era as a major section of the book.
*At the end, in the Strong Sad Easter egg, Strong Sad is mistaken for Ma Fratelli from ''[[Wikipedia:The Goonies|The Goonies]]''.
*Strong Sad shouting his last line in the Strong Bad Easter egg is in the style of a typical antic of Sam Kinison's comedy act.
*Homestar Runner argues with himself about his costume, mistakenly suggesting it to be of [[Wikipedia:Carrot Top|Carrot Top]], a stand-up comedian noted for his use of props, his large orange hair, and being a former spokesperson for [[Wikipedia:AT&T|AT&T]] during their "Dial Down the Center" campaign. He then mistakenly "corrects" himself to actually be [[Wikipedia:Crocodile Dundee|Crocodile Dundee]], the titular character from the 1986 comedy movie. Crocodile Dundee was played by [[Wikipedia:Paul Hogan|Paul Hogan]] who, like Yahoo Serious, is Australian.
*Strong Sad enthusiastically asks Strong Bad, in reference to his costume, for the answer to the [[Wikipedia:Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything|ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything]]. In the [[Wikipedia:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]], the computer Deep Thought is constructed to formulate this response, despite nobody knowing the precise nature of the question. After 7 1/2 million years, Deep Thought reveals the answer to be "'''42'''".
*Coach Z's "Yooooooooooo garble garble!" is his attempt to say DJ Lance Rock's phrase "Yo Gabba Gabba!"
*Bubs' Easter Egg lines are from the Junkyard Dog's entrance theme, "Grab Them Cakes."
*[[Wikipedia:Whatchamacallit (candy)|Whatchamacallits]] are an actual candy bar.

Talk:Most in the Graveyard Teaser

WarthogDemon — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:14:04 GMT

WarthogDemon: We can remove the tag right? Hopefully, people don't still need to try and guess who they are...

==Is That Costume Store Ever In Stock?!?!?==
The costume of the character who I have to assume is Strong Bad looks surprisingly complex, ecspecially compared to those of the other characters. Point is, I'm pretty sure that this is a reference to [[Jibblies 2 Teaser]]. Anyone else agree?--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 05:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:I definitely agree. By looking, his costume appears to be that of the [[Wikipedia:Predator (alien)|Predator]], which further echoes his non-costume of the Alien last year. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::Who wants to hazard a guess that once again his Easter egg at toon's end will again mention that Hammakers Slammakers will be sold out of this costume as well, and he'll be someone else? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Oh, I wouldn't go that far. I hope the Chaps have more integrity to run the same joke twice... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:11, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::To me it looks like Predator. [[User:HomsarGuy|HomsarGuy]] 12:05, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Don't they re-use jokes very oftenlike?--[[User:Flytape8490|Flytape8490]] 13:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::This reminds me of when i was on Telltale forums (before this was released) people were posting what they would like the costumes :::::to be and 1 person said they'd like Strong Bad to be Predator. [[User:HomsarGuy|HomsarGuy]] 20:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::The only one i can reconize is that Homsar looks like Captian Caveman,but you may be right about the Strong Bad = Predator thing. [[User:H.R. Hurricanesnstuf|H.R. Hurricanesnstuf]]
:::::Alright, this is getting dangerously close to forum-talk. If you want to discuss the possiblities for costumes, you should probably move it there.--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 00:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::But the forum has been down for, like, ever!!! When 'dat thang gonna get back up?![[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 01:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::This is not the place for that question. This is not the place for speculation about the costumes. This is not the place to have wild drunken parties until 3 in the morning. In short, we know the forum is down, but this is still not the place for those things. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Well, where can we put the ideas down, then, if not here? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::That is not the wiki's concern. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:10, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::We can go over to ''Telltale's'' Strong Bad forum, but I personally don't feel like registering another account. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Okay, but please don't hold this conversation here. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 02:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

==Easter egg==
Can something that is only viewable after the flash is decompiled really considered an easter egg?
Even if it is left intentionally for the user to find, I think there should be a general definition of 'egg' that takes into account means of access.
Not everyone can decompile the flash. Instead, maybe place something like this in trivia?--[[User:Flytape8490|Flytape8490]] 13:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's still an easter egg, something hidden for us to find. I think they mentioned in an interview of commentary somewhere that they started adding decompiler eggs because the regular type were too easy to find. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::The very first easter egg was designed to be impossible to find. It involved picking up a grey dot in a grey wall and taking it to the other side of the game map. An easter egg is more of an easter egg if it's near impossible to normally find. Kroc Camen.

lol, yes, Adventure, a great game. But to be honest, I really dont view these decompiler things as Easter Eggs... And Adventure didnt have the firs easter egg
:Then what praytell, had the first egg? In the electronic field, that is. I vote for it staying an egg. [[User:Pointy King|Pointy King]] 01:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::A little background: The first Homestar Runner Easter egg was sending Strong Sad an email and then back a link to [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. That's in no way a "clicking" Easter egg and yet there's no argument it's and egg. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 04:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I still think it shouldn't be an egg. But strongsad's lament? That's totally an egg. It's buried inside another egg, but it's still an egg.--[[User:Flytape8490|Flytape8490]] 17:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
::::We've been pretty consistently putting the meaningful behind-the-black stuff (the hidden objects, not the lack thereof) as "Easter eggs" for quite a while now. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:16, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::In addition, our page about [[Easter egg]]s states:
:::::<blockquote>Occasionally, Easter eggs are hidden in a way that cannot be revealed directly, and can only be seen if the Flash file is opened in a [[Wikipedia:decompiler|decompiler]]. At [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|Georgia Tech]], [[Matt Chapman]] explained that these were added because the normal Easter eggs were getting too easy to find.</blockquote>
:::::In closing, egg the ever-loving crap out of 'em. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

==Costume Guesses==
Should there be a costume guess in the article? I think so-- [[User:Not_an_S|Not_an_S]]
:I agree. The whole point of this teaser is to create speculation. And this is the best place to put all of the speculation. Where else would it go? Unless there is some way to create a section in the wiki format called "Speculation" or "Explaining the Jokes" which i don't think they'll ever do, this is the only place left for speculation about what the costumes will be. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:: '''''NO.''''' The Wiki is ''not'' a place for speculation, not even in a "toon" such as this. It will all be moot when the real toon is released in a few days anyway. We've mentioned multiple times that we do not want speculation of the costumes on this page, and we've been removing all speculation. '''Do not add it.''' --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Jay, that's why this section of the talk page exists. It has been noticed that y'all have been removing all the speculation, so where do you suggest that we speculate about the toon? You've made it clear that you don't think this is the place, but what is? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::The forum would be the place for that, however, in its absence, i suggest you find somewhere else. It is not the wiki's job to provide a place for it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:37, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Just my two cents. --[[Special:Contributions/99.161.128.249|99.161.128.249]] 22:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Actually, you're right. A glance through the history of the last teaser had us marking that the person in the Xenomorph costume was only ''presumably'' Strong Bad. Whatever the case, though, we'll know in a few days. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

== New Page ==

Should there be a page dedicated to the Teasers? Since there's been one [[Jibblies 2 Teaser|last year]] and this year it seemed like we should, or should we wait till next year to see if they do it again?--[[User:Shaggy|Shaggy]] | [[User talk:Shaggy|talk]] 21:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Homsar

WarthogDemon — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:09:10 GMT

{{charnav|Homsar|homsar|The Poopsmith|Homestar Runner}}
{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|homsar}}
[[Image:homsar evolution current.png|thumb|{{homsarquote}}]]

== Biography ==
'''Homsar''' is perhaps the strangest and most enigmatic of all the [[Characters#Main characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. He was originally created as a result of a typo in the [[Strong Bad Email|email]] [[homsar]], in which Vinnie C. asked, "If you hate homsar so much, why don't you kill him?" (Presumably, Vinnie had actually meant to type "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]".) [[Strong Bad]] promptly dropped a [[Heavy Lourde]] on Homsar and left him for [[Death|dead]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] later decided to keep Homsar as a main character, and they brought him back in an Easter egg in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] and in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], where he thanked [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital.

Homsar occasionally makes brief appearances in various cartoons, often in Easter eggs (and has even been referred to as the "secret guy"). In every [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)|Halloween toon]] since his introduction, Homsar has appeared in an Easter egg somewhere in the middle of the Toon. (This is usually triggered by clicking somewhere on or near [[The Poopsmith]].)

[[Image:3dhomsar.png|thumb|140px|{{homsarquote|68}}]] 

Homsar doesn't have very many friends other than [[Strong Sad]] and Marzipan. Most of the other characters generally regard him as a nuisance. In particular, Strong Bad seems to dislike him the most; he states in [[interview]] that he would rather gnaw his own leg off than talk to him for 3 seconds. [[Bubs]] apparently refuses to talk to him, as evidenced in [[Where's The Cheat?]]. Despite his unpopularity, he serves in the [[Homestarmy]] and occasionally attends parties where the other main characters are present. He enjoys playing board games with Strong Sad, and has organized his own activities, such as a [[tree hugging]] concert and the play "[[stupid stuff|Butt's Twelve by Pies]]" (starring Lighting and Set Decoration). He ran the Merch Masala on the [[Cool Tapes]] tour in [[Weclome Back]].

In the email [[interview]], Strong Bad, using a pen puppet, claimed that Homsar was "raised by a cup of coffee". In [[fan club]], Homsar proclaimed that he was "the son of a [[Wikipedia:Chipwich|Chipwich]]", and an Easter egg revealed a photo of a cup of coffee and an ice cream sandwich labeled "Homsar's Parents".

Homsar was the winner of a month-long sales competition between himself and Senor Cardgage for the title of [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]. The topic was brought up in [[fan club]], and the loser had to complete a coherent thought as punishment on Homestar Runner's [[The Show]]. (It was later annouced that [[Senor Cardgage]] was the loser.)

==Distinctive Characteristics==

===Speech===
Homsar's most distinct characteristic is his unusual manner of speaking, which has varied over time. His tone of voice is generally quite exaggerated, and he often begins sentences by wailing "AaAAaaAAaaAAaa!". His speech tends to range from perfectly normal English to often random and disconnected phrases that have little to no connection to the scene. Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Wikipedia:Schizophrenia|schizophrenia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is often intact, but the words themselves have no particular meaning), but a [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|detailed analysis of his speech patterns]] has shown that this is seldom the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.

It has been argued that his unusual speech patterns are the result of being crushed by the Heavy Lourde. Some find this unlikely, considering that he was able to speak more or less normally when he called Marzipan after that event. Others suggest that it is possible that the negative effect was a delayed reaction.

As shown in [[DNA Evidence]], he can make his voice sound like a whole crowd of people, even when he is alone. In [[Happy Dethemberween]], he and Strong Sad demonstrate that he can also make chiming noises when hit on the head.

In ''[[Strong Badia the Free]]'', Strong Bad briefly gains complete understanding of Homsar's language by utilizing a nearby "pylon". He is the only one who understands Homsar, however (as evidenced by a quick view of the conversation from Strong Sad's perspective, in which Homsar not only sounds normal, but Strong Bad is speaking in word salads as well), and at the end of the conversation, the pylon is destroyed, ending Strong Bad's ability to understand him. This version of Homsar has a distinctly different voice (Strong Bad describes it as "soothing"), and quite visibly understands everything that's going on around him in a very coherent manner, though he also has a tendency to talk a lot.

===Homsar and the Laws of Physics===
[[Image:Homfloat.PNG|thumb|Homsar floating in [[The Field]].]]
Another bizarre aspect of Homsar is his ability to defy the laws of physics through means that are not entirely explained. In many cases it would appear that Homsar can bend reality to his will, performing feats that other characters cannot. Various feats of science defiance include levitation (as demonstrated in [[narrator]], his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]], [[A Folky Tale]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[the paper]], and [[mini-golf]]), self-duplication ([[Fall Float Parade]] and [[Happy Dethemberween]]), making a paint brush ring like a bell ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]]), possible time manipulation ([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]), teleporting ([[for kids]]), possible metamorphosis (as seen in [[impression]], though this hypothesis is disputed), retracting his head like a turtle ([[Happy Hallow-day]]), creating the sound of a crowd ([[DNA Evidence]]) or chimes ([[Happy Dethemberween]]), and can possibly cause (or at least reflect back) the jibblies ([[Jibblies 2]]). On top of this, Homsar's yellow [[bowler hat]] can levitate and float around, as well as transmute into different shapes (e.g an engineer's cap as seen in his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Character Video]]). It is possible that this hat, which levitates when Homsar speaks (including when he is upside down, as in [[cliffhangers]]), is actually being manipulated, as opposed to just flying about on its own. Homsar is, after all, a character [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacking visible arms]]. However, Homsar's solo in the music video [[One Two, One Two]] involves his hat flying farther than arms on a character his size would allow. Another theory for this is that Homsar, and quite possibly the other characters lacking arms, have limited psycho-kinetic abilities. Indeed, it appears that the laws of both science and logic do not apply to Homsar. Homsar also has pigeon-toed feet that move incredibly fast, but his movement is very slow.

In [[Strong Badia the Free]], after the "secession", Homsar lives in a place called the "Homsar Reservation." Everything in this location seems to defy the laws of physics as much as Homsar himself. Examples of this phenomenon are floating and moving rocks, ripples in the sky, and a strange rock structure with the ability to make others understand his language. Strong Bad is also seen defying the laws of physics by floating like Homsar whilst the rock structure is in full effect.

===Similarity to Homestar Runner===
In terms of general appearance, Homsar bears a striking resemblance to [[Homestar Runner]]. Although he is grossly exaggerated, pigeon-toed, and more curved, he and Homestar share [[Wikipedia:Prognathism|underbites]], clothing style (a hat and shirt), feet style, shading, and skin color. As he was originally a misspelling of "Homestar", it is logical that Homsar is somewhat of a badly-drawn Homestar. Strong Bad remarks upon this in the email [[for kids]], where he refers to Homsar as a "blue midget Homestar". Homestar himself even calls Homsar "Homestar" in [[looking old]].

===Naming of Other Characters (and Himself)===
Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) hardly make sense. This is assuming that he is speaking to/about these characters and that he is not just disoriented or believes he is talking to someone else. His way of naming may also be used to describe how a character looks at the time, like when he called The Cheat "chocolate cake" when The Cheat was covered in [[whatsit]]. Homsar also thinks up strange names for himself, such as "Homsar, the captain of the gravy train", "the human wedgie", "a friendly reminder", "A knock-knock joke about jogging suits", and "a song from the '60s". Homsar doesn't seem to repeat any of his made-up names, in keeping with his tendency to forget or disregard things or become confused. Homsar has also been named by others, like when Homestar called him "the secret guy" or when Strong Bad referred to him as "America's favorite blue midget Homestar".

===Walking===
Whenever Homsar walks, he makes a peculiar fluttery noise, although this sound effect is not present in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Some other characters have also [[Sound Effects|made this noise]].

In the email [[interview]], Strong Bad, using a pen puppet, claimed that Homsar was "raised by a cup of coffee". In [[fan club]], Homsar proclaimed that he was "the son of a [[Wikipedia:Chipwich|Chipwich]]", and an Easter egg revealed a photo of a cup of coffee and an ice cream sandwich labeled "Homsar's Parents".

Homsar was the winner of a month-long sales competition between himself and Senor Cardgage for the title of [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]. The topic was brought up in [[fan club]], and the loser had to complete a coherent thought as punishment on Homestar Runner's [[The Show]]. (It was later annouced that [[Senor Cardgage]] was the loser.)

==Distinctive Characteristics==

===Speech===
Homsar's most distinct characteristic is his unusual manner of speaking, which has varied over time. His tone of voice is generally quite exaggerated, and he often begins sentences by wailing "AaAAaaAAaaAAaa!". His speech tends to range from perfectly normal English to often random and disconnected phrases that have little to no connection to the scene. Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Wikipedia:Schizophrenia|schizophrenia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is often intact, but the words themselves have no particular meaning), but a [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|detailed analysis of his speech patterns]] has shown that this is seldom the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.

It has been argued that his unusual speech patterns are the result of being crushed by the Heavy Lourde. Some find this unlikely, considering that he was able to speak more or less normally when he called Marzipan after that event. Others suggest that it is possible that the negative effect was a delayed reaction.

As shown in [[DNA Evidence]], he can make his voice sound like a whole crowd of people, even when he is alone. In [[Happy Dethemberween]], he and Strong Sad demonstrate that he can also make chiming noises when hit on the head.

In ''[[Strong Badia the Free]]'', Strong Bad briefly gains complete understanding of Homsar's language by utilizing a nearby "pylon". He is the only one who understands Homsar, however (as evidenced by a quick view of the conversation from Strong Sad's perspective, in which Homsar not only sounds normal, but Strong Bad is speaking in word salads as well), and at the end of the conversation, the pylon is destroyed, ending Strong Bad's ability to understand him. This version of Homsar has a distinctly different voice (Strong Bad describes it as "soothing"), and quite visibly understands everything that's going on around him in a very coherent manner, though he also has a tendency to talk a lot.

===Homsar and the Laws of Physics===
[[Image:Homfloat.PNG|thumb|Homsar floating in [[The Field]].]]
Another bizarre aspect of Homsar is his ability to defy the laws of physics through means that are not entirely explained. In many cases it would appear that Homsar can bend reality to his will, performing feats that other characters cannot. Various feats of science defiance include levitation (as demonstrated in [[narrator]], his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]], [[A Folky Tale]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[the paper]], and [[mini-golf]]), self-duplication ([[Fall Float Parade]] and [[Happy Dethemberween]]), making a paint brush ring like a bell ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]]), possible time manipulation ([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]), teleporting ([[for kids]]), possible metamorphosis (as seen in [[impression]], though this hypothesis is disputed), retracting his head like a turtle ([[Happy Hallow-day]]), creating the sound of a crowd ([[DNA Evidence]]) or chimes ([[Happy Dethemberween]]), and can possibly cause (or at least reflect back) the jibblies ([[Jibblies 2]]). On top of this, Homsar's yellow [[bowler hat]] can levitate and float around, as well as transmute into different shapes (e.g an engineer's cap as seen in his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Character Video]]). It is possible that this hat, which levitates when Homsar speaks (including when he is upside down, as in [[cliffhangers]]), is actually being manipulated, as opposed to just flying about on its own. Homsar is, after all, a character [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacking visible arms]]. However, Homsar's solo in the music video [[One Two, One Two]] involves his hat flying farther than arms on a character his size would allow. Another theory for this is that Homsar, and quite possibly the other characters lacking arms, have limited psycho-kinetic abilities. Indeed, it appears that the laws of both science and logic do not apply to Homsar. Homsar also has pigeon-toed feet that move incredibly fast, but his movement is very slow.

In [[Strong Badia the Free]], after the "secession", Homsar lives in a place called the "Homsar Reservation." Everything in this location seems to defy the laws of physics as much as Homsar himself. Examples of this phenomenon are floating and moving rocks, ripples in the sky, and a strange rock structure with the ability to make others understand his language. Strong Bad is also seen defying the laws of physics by floating like Homsar whilst the rock structure is in full effect.

===Similarity to Homestar Runner===
In terms of general appearance, Homsar bears a striking resemblance to [[Homestar Runner]]. Although he is grossly exaggerated, pigeon-toed, and more curved, he and Homestar share [[Wikipedia:Prognathism|underbites]], clothing style (a hat and shirt), feet style, shading, and skin color. As he was originally a misspelling of "Homestar", it is logical that Homsar is somewhat of a badly-drawn Homestar. Strong Bad remarks upon this in the email [[for kids]], where he refers to Homsar as a "blue midget Homestar". Homestar himself even calls Homsar "Homestar" in [[looking old]].

===Naming of Other Characters (and Himself)===
Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) hardly make sense. This is assuming that he is speaking to/about these characters and that he is not just disoriented or believes he is talking to someone else. His way of naming may also be used to describe how a character looks at the time, like when he called The Cheat "chocolate cake" when The Cheat was covered in [[whatsit]]. Homsar also thinks up strange names for himself, such as "Homsar, the captain of the gravy train", "the human wedgie", "a friendly reminder", "A knock-knock joke about jogging suits", and "a song from the '60s". Homsar doesn't seem to repeat any of his made-up names, in keeping with his tendency to forget or disregard things or become confused. Homsar has also been named by others, like when Homestar called him "the secret guy" or when Strong Bad referred to him as "America's favorite blue midget Homestar".

===Walking===
Whenever Homsar walks, he makes a peculiar fluttery noise, although this sound effect is not present in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Some other characters have also [[Sound Effects|made this noise]].

''{His bowler hat pops up and turns into a railroad engineer's hat.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Climb aboard!

''{His hat returns to normal.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!

''{His hat slides down the back of his head, then snaps back at the end of the sound.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA!

''{While screaming for the second time in a row, he spins around the screen backwards two and a half times. He ends up at the top, upside down.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Think I won the Powerball. ''{His hat pops off, then lands back on his head before the video ends.}''

== Fun Facts ==

*[[Wikipedia:Wonder Mike|Wonder Mike]] is a member of [[Wikipedia:The Sugarhill Gang|The Sugarhill Gang]], famous for the song "Rapper's Delight". In the beginning of "Rapper's Delight", Wonder Mike says "I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say hello", so Homsar saying "Hi, Wonder Mike" could possibly be a response.
*"Think I won the Powerball" is a reference to the multistate [[Wikipedia: Powerball|Powerball Lottery]], which is known for having large jackpots.
*Homsar's character page is the only one with background music.
*Since the camera is presumably upside-down throughout his character video, Homsar starts the video upside-down and ends it right-side-up; this was more visible during [[April Fools' 2006]]. He "stands on air" again in the long toon [[A Folky Tale]] as an Easter egg.
*Homsar is the only main character with no [[Old-Timey]] counterpart.
*Homsar's coloring is similar to that of the unused character [[Rejected Characters#Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]].
*Homsar is the only male character with an animated girl variation, Modestly Hot Homsar. (see [[#Variations|below]])
*The [[font]] on Homsar's shirt is [[Fonts#B|Bauhaus93]].
*Besides [[Homestar Runner]], he was the only one not to get the [[Jibblies]] in [[Jibblies 2]]. In fact, the opposite effect occurs when the [[Horrible Painting]] gets the Jibblies instead.

== Biography ==
'''Pom Pom''' (also spelled '''Pom-Pom''') is a [[Pom]] from the [[Isle of Pom]]. Pom Pom, like all Poms, appears to be inflated. His body consists of a yellow sphere with an orange stripe. His oval head, and triangluar arms and feet are the same color orange. Pom Pom's eyes are black ovals and he has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|no visible mouth]]. He talks by making [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|bubbly noises]] and can absorb objects into his body for storage, suggesting that he is made of some sort of gelatinous substance. He is also quite skilled in [[Wikipedia:Martial Art|martial arts]] (see [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|below]]).

Pom Pom is [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]], but he sometimes [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|hangs out]] with [[Strong Bad]] as well. He has such an open mind that he sometimes spends time with unpopular characters such as [[The King of Town]] and [[The Poopsmith]]. Pom Pom is often seen talking on [[Cell Phones|his cell phone]] to his many [[Pom Pom's girls|girls]], and he keeps track of their contact information in his [[Pom Pilot]]. His parents' names are [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom]], as seen in an Easter egg in the email [[pom pom]]. Pom Pom was going to have a dog named [[Rejected Characters#Trivia Time|Trivia Time]], but this concept seems to have been abandoned. Pom Pom is also "the big cheese" at [[The Office]] as shown in [[from work]].

== Fighting Skills ==
[[Image:MartialArtsPom-Pom.PNG|thumb|right|160px|Kung-Fu skills.]]
Pom Pom is skilled in the martial arts and appears to enjoy fighting.

The first instance of Pom Pom fighting is inside a dojo from the [[Theme Song Video]] where he shows off his moves; this is broadened on later in the email [[pom pom]] where he gets a [[Nintendo|1-Up]] by severely pummeling Strong Bad. In the [[pom pom#Commentary Transcript|commentary]] for the same email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] discussed wanting to make a side scrolling Pom Pom fighting game. His skills are seen again in [[personal favorites]] where he got into a "knife fight" with [[Coach Z]]. In [[Summer Short Shorts]], Pom Pom shows off his skills with a [[Wikipedia:Bō|Bō]] and disappears with a smoke bomb.

[[Image:kot.PNG|thumb|right|221px|"My life is a joke."]]
{{aboutcharacter}} {{fortoon|The King of Town DVD}} {{for|[[Decemberween]] character|The King of Town (Decemberween)}}

== Biography ==
'''The King of Town''' (middle name being [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2#Message 6|Wad]]), self-nicknamed the "KOT", is the de jure ruler of [[Free Country, USA]] (though [[labor day]] suggests that his title is self-proclaimed). However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. His head is completely white, with black lines for eyes, a [[mustache]] and a beard (though it was suggested in [[diorama]] that the white is fur or hair, as he has pink flesh underneath). He wears a gold crown and what appears to be a red robe with white trim with [[Lack of Visible Arms|no arms]]. He has been seen in different attire resembling a striped one-peice swimming suit when swimming ([[keep cool]]) and in Strong Bad's amazing feats of wonder ([[retirement]]). When in this suit, it suggests that he has this white fur/hair all over his body.

One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him (except [[peas]] and [[The Cheat]]; he had a long-standing aversion to [[whatsit]] which finally ended in [[fan club]]). His favorite food is [[butter]]. As a result of his unhealthy eating habits, he has many, sometimes serious, health problems, as it is the norm for him to have several heart attacks after eating. According to the [[record book]], he is the "least healthiest (man?)". As revealed in the sbemail [[pizza joint]], he spends most of his day calling random numbers in hopes of finding a new restaurant, and has found [[The Pizz]] as a result.

[[Image:3dkot.png|thumb|140px|Do I smell 3D?]]

He employs [[The Poopsmith]] (for personal reasons) and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. Like [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Homsar]], and [[Marzipan]], he also has no [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]], but can handle things as though he does. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60s. He also leads the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]] during the [[Fall Float Parade]]. According to a message he left on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2|Marzipan's answering machine]] and on Strong Bad's answering machine in [[Lappynapped!]], he can play the guitar, and along with [[The Cheat]], he has cut a remix demo called "Not Talkin' About Butter". He also has his very own "[[KOT's VOQPCS!|quite popular cartoon show]]" which, although it was pre-empted in favor of a [[Strong Bad Email]] in [[senior prom]], was shown some time later. He is also an authorized [[Wikipedia: Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller as seen in [[TrogdorCon '97]].

It has become unclear whether The King of Town has royal ancestors from whom he inherited the official honor of "king", or if his title is self-imposed and he simply purchased his crown from the "Costume Palace" (as could be interpreted from his character video). In [[original]], [[Strong Bad]] claims that "there've been like twelve King of Towns". An Easter egg at the end of the email shows graves for 11 Kings of Town (including one known as "Onion King of Town"), although it is unknown if this is real or imaginary. [[Marzipan]] and [[Bubs]] both claim that [[Strong Bad]] was lying about [[Original Bubs]], so it seems likely that he was lying about there being other Kings of Town as well.

Although the King of Town wears his crown most of the time, it has been stolen by Strong Bad and The Cheat in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. It has also been worn by Strong Bad when he was on a "regal [[rampage]]", by [[Coach Z]] in [[Where's The Cheat?]], by [[The Cheat]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Strong Badia the Free]] .

The King of Town can be heard [[The King of Town Booing|booing]] from time to time, even at himself.

In [[Play Date]] it is implied that the King of Town has been married to a bowl of [[Wikipedia:Brunswick stew|Brunswick stew]] for fifty years, referred to by the King of Town as the "dollop of sour cream" anniversary.

[[Image:CharacterVidKingofTown.png|thumb|"Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl."]]
''{'''Page Title''': Go Go Cookie Dough!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]}''

''{The King of Town is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Hello, my loyal subjects. I am the King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. ''{holds up a bowl momentarily}'' Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me the King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle ''{gives a nod to his castle}'', and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. ''{picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}''

== Fun Facts ==
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed he was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that's not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don't visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn't cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline in [[Flash]].
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. Typically one would ''earn'' an item of equal or lesser value by purchasing a different item.
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.
*He was once slim and trim, but according to [[flashback]], may have gotten his weight from the lifetime supply of fishsticks because nobody else would claim them.
*Apparently, the King of Town has a ham for a heart, as shown in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*When playing the game [[Kid Speedy]] in KOT mode, the King of Town appears to gain energy by eating junk food and [[swear]] words. Although he has exhibited his love of unhealthy food on many occasions, his predilection for foul language is otherwise unknown.
*The King of Town once purchased the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] from [[Bubs]], but was unable to make it run in order to check his emails. He claimed it was "the last time he'll buy a used computer from Bubs". His email address is currently invalid. He also has had an answering machine that claims that he "has no messages...ever", that he has "no friends", and that "nobody likes" him.
*He may have German heritage, due to the fact that his Old-Timey variation is German and he wears a pickelhaube in [[Ever and More!]].
*Though he claims he lives in "yon castle", [[Strong Bad]] claims in the [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|commentary]] to [[The King Of Town DVD]] that he actually lives in a run-down two-bedroom home next door to him.

{{charnav|The Cheat|cheat|Strong Bad|Strong Mad}}
[[Image:The Cheat Character Video.PNG|thumb|"Meh."]]
== Biography ==
[[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|[[Physiology of The Cheat|Yet another biological mystery]]]]

'''The Cheat''', whose name includes the [[integral article]], is what could be called [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Strong Bad and The Cheat's relationship|sidekick]] and [[Strong Mad]]'s [[Strong Mad and The Cheat's relationship|best friend]]. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is at knee-height (1' 2" and 18lb., or 35.56 cm and 8.17 kg) and covered with yellow fur with prominent black spots down his back. In [[secret recipes]] and [[retirement]], it is shown that The Cheat's skin is a pinkish flesh color under his fur. His arms resemble flippers (but he's still able to type and use a computer), and he doesn't have any legs to speak of. Instead, The Cheat crawls along ground, similar to a [[Wikipedia:pseudopod|pseudopod]]. He has round black eyes and a pointed [[Physiology of The Cheat#Facebone|"facebone"]]. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his character video. In [[lunch special]], Strong Bad says The Cheat reminds him of a [[duck]].

The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad at [[The Office]], possibly tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant [[egg]] (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg-laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fishsticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not. No one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or Cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't. This is strange, because if the events in [[flashback]] are true, then The Cheat would have been "born" on the day he came out of the egg. According to the client list in the [[On Point Kings]] recruitment brochure seen in [[more armies]], The Cheat has a sister. His favorite color may be blue, as suspected from [[Drive Thru]].

[[Image:TheCheatAsTheCheat.png|thumb|Now pretend this is The Cheat...]]

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad also pays The Cheat soft tacos for being his lawyer, as evidenced in e-mail [[rough copy]]. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. In [[animal]], The Cheat was overshadowed by [[Sterrance]] when [[Strong Bad]] declared Sterrance to be "way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat [he] used to have." In [[secret recipes]], Strong Bad said he had a recipe for cooking "The Chekt". It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred of him at times (as in [[secret recipes]] and [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious illegitimacy, it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], and [[caper]].

[[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]

The Cheat is an amateur [[Flash]] animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos first on an older orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], and later on a [[Monosodium Dreams|newer iMac computer]] in [[redesign]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. The Cheat often uses his animations as an outlet for his pent-up feelings of abuse and unappreciation, rewarding his fictional self with [[trophies]], fame, and friendship. He's also a master of many [[Characters' Instruments|instruments]]; he plays the piano, the flute, [[The Cheat's keyboard|the keyboard]],{{ref|1}} the drums,{{ref|2}} the guitar,{{ref|3}} and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]].{{ref|4}} He also is a [[DJ Teh C.'s Equipment|music producer]], doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." Also, as evidenced by scenes in [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[No Hands On Deck!]], he can knit. According to Strong Bad, he is [[rough copy|"the best lawyer soft tacos can buy"]], but since his idea of suing is throwing water bombs at the defendant, this statement might not be sound. However, his aim with water bombs is so good, he can hit Strong Sad from three football fields away.

[[Image:FleaPrisonRiot.png|thumb|[[retirement|Flea Prison Riot!]]]]

The Cheat's less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''. He also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's [[Physiology of The Cheat|anatomy]] provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (i.e. [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks. The Cheat once had a battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[suudsu]], and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used. The Cheat also attracts fleas, as seen in [[retirement]]. As explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet. He is a very good swimmer, however, as seen in [[keep cool]], when he easily skims across the surface of the water.

[[Image:TheCheat 3D variation.PNG|thumb|3D The Cheat!]]
Despite these issues, ladies are often attracted to The Cheat. Strong Bad advises his fans to use a cute pet like The Cheat to attract women in both [[lady...ing]] and [[lady fan]]. At times, however, The Cheat's charms are so irresistible that ladies prefer him to Strong Bad. This is seen most clearly in [[huttah!]], in which several girls send emails indicating that they are more interested in The Cheat than Strong Bad. The Cheat's capture of so many girls' affections contrasts sharply with Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|lack of success with women]]. The Cheat [[Marzipan and The Cheat's Relationship|seems to have a particular crush]] on [[Marzipan]], as seen in [[do over]], in which The Cheat (in Homestar-esque makeup and covered in lip-shaped lipstick marks) is seen with Marzipan. He also went out on a date with Marzipan in [[Date Nite]], but it did not work out in the end, as Marzipan found out that he had been declawed.

==The Cheat's Language==

The Cheat speaks entirely in a language of [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|high-pitched squeaks and growls]], which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. It's hinted that he knows some English, as he frequently says things that sound like fitting sentences not only in tone, but in how the words sound (for instance, in [[coloring]], he sounded out "okay"). At other times, however, it seems to be just gibberish.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. He normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well for a The Cheat.

The Cheat also provides the voice for the character [[Firebert]] in the ''[[Cheat Commandos]] Adventures'' [[TV show]], in which he speaks entirely in his native language.

Strong Mad

{{charnav|Strong Mad|sm|The Cheat|Strong Sad}}
[[Image:neweststrongmad.png|thumb|right|"I'M STRONG MAD!"]]

==Biography==
A monolith of muscle and hostility, '''Strong Mad''' is, as his name implies, strong and usually mad. His brothers are [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad]], and he is the oldest of the three. He and [[The Cheat]] are "The next bosom buddies" according to a [[TV Time Toons Menu|TV TIME]] cover, and though he often tries to help Strong Bad with his evil plans, he usually only messes up. He communicates mostly in simple sentences shouted in an uninflected roar. He seems to be a wrestler (or perhaps was one in the past), since he wears a blue spandex singlet with an "M" on it. He's a big lug, but with a big heart: though one wouldn't know it to look at him, Strong Mad has a soft side. In [[Where's The Cheat?]], he cries over an autographed picture of The Cheat, given to him by the little yellow guy.
[[Image:SM_has_a_Posse.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Strong Mad IS a posse]]
Strong Mad apparently enjoys sports. He dressed as [[Kobe|Kobe #2]] in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], he has dressed as a professional sports player three times in Halloween episodes ([[Wikipedia:William Perry (football)|Refrigerator Perry]], [[Wikipedia:Ben Wallace|Ben Wallace]], [[Wikipedia:Nikolai Volkoff|Nikolai Volkoff]]), he wore a baseball cap with the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers']] logo on it as [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]], he is the sports reporter for [[local news|Strong Badia Action Cool News 5]], he has a statue of a football player in [[Strong Mad's Room|his room]], and he wore a football helmet in [[Ever and More!]].
[[Image:StrongMad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|"That's three weeks old!!"]]
Strong Mad's creative drive has produced two works of [[dinosaur]]-themed art (an [[lunch special|MS Paint drawing of a "fairly hot brontosaurus"]] and the claymation short [[Doug the Dino]]). At Strong Bad's behest, he has also carved the word "[[dragon|DAGRON]]" in a table and produced a portrait of Strong Bad in glitter and macaroni. Despite these achievements, Strong Bad has devoted [[the facts|an entire email]] to explaining why Strong Mad can't produce his own cartoon show. His musical talent is evident, however: he plays what looks like a black Hofner Violin bass guitar in [[guitar]], [[Cool Things]], and [[Weclome Back]], and the drums in [[highschool]], plus he's a natural [[death metal]] singer. Additionally, Strong Mad surprised Strong Bad in [[nightlife]] by cracking a joke, which Strong Bad admitted to be "pretty good!".

Strong Mad is, oddly, the only main character to have five-fingered hands and a visible nose. He seems more than willing to [[Eating Non-Food Items|eat otherwise inedible objects]] such as rocks, chain-whips, and printed e-mails. He does not, however, [[haircut|want to eat a guitar]]. Strong Bad implied he was surprised he hasn't eaten The Cheat by now. When Strong Mad inhales [[helium]], his voice stays the same, but when he sucks up [[isp|bandwidth]] through a [[garden hose]], his mouth gets tiny and his voice turns high-pitched. Strong Mad has a [[Horrible Painting]] in his closet that gives everyone (especially Strong Bad) the [[jibblies]]. He apparently needs reading glasses.

Strong Mad seems to want a pet, as he (as Marzipan put it) "absconded with" [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] during the [[Fall Float Parade]] and tried to convince Strong Bad to let him keep it, saying that it followed him home.

==Physical Statistics==

[[Image:Sbemail141.PNG|thumb|right|300px|"He's like a big square, this guy."]]

[[Image:SMSmiling.png|thumb|right|"MANNONBALL!"]]
Apparently, Strong Mad's height and weight are not definite. He's simply large and heavy, and as with many other things, the specifics can change from cartoon to cartoon. As stated on the [[Wikipedia:André the Giant Has a Posse|OBEY]] style [[HR:smsticker.html|stickers]], Strong Mad is 8 feet, 3 inches tall, and weighs 900 pounds. According to Strong Bad in [[the facts]], he is 88 inches (7 feet 4 inches) tall and 88 inches wide. As described by The Cheat in [[i she be]], he is only 6 feet tall. In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], it is stated that Strong Mad and Strong Bad have a combined weight of one million pounds. Apparently, Strong Mad is simply a big guy, and specific measurements are given only when needed for a joke or to convey a meaning.

As seen in [[fingers]], [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], [[death metal]], and [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], Strong Mad's shoulders are squared-off, almost cubic, though his [[Store_Toys#Collectible_Figurines|figurine]] is rounder with a football-shaped top. When necessary, he is able to contract his frame into a spherical shape, as he did when performing a cannonball dive in [[keep cool]]. Strong Mad lacks a neck; there is no clear distinction between his head and his body.

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's!]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because she's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several wooden props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad is completely incapable of matching Pom Pom's time in the Race to the End of the Race, and can only beat Coach Z's time by ''heavily'' cheating. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|"Well, time to start evolving into mole people. Now shut your eyes really tight and try and heighten your other senses."]]

*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.

[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's!]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because she's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad is completely incapable of matching Pom Pom's time in the Race to the End of the Race, and can only beat Coach Z's time by ''heavily'' cheating. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name being [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Transcript|Michael]] and/or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his namesake website. He is mainly colored white, with black comma-shaped eyes and a prominent [[Wikipedia:Prognathism|underbite]]. Usually, he wears a [[#Homestar's Clothing|red shirt with a white star]] and a [[#Homestar Runner's Hat|blue beanie with a red brim and a white spinner]]. His legs are quite long in relation to the rest of his body. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

The subject of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a pure heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. As Strong Bad stated in [[TrogdorCon '97]], he has an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]". He's not ''completely'' stupid (he once correctly stated [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]], albeit after being asked what two plus two is) and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurrences are few and far between. He and most of the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] speak English, but as seen in his [[First Time Here?|welcome speech to homestarrunner.com]], he is also able to speak [[Spanish]], though it is unknown exactly how much. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like [[montage|"Hi-Ya!"]], [[radio|"Highball!"]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents|"Ahct-poo!"]]. Also, Homestar has the strange habit of flicking his head in the opposite direction while talking.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the [[Homestarmy]], while his [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]] remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some [[Wikipedia:Rhotacism|speech impediments]] (as he says, he has "[[Puppet Jam: Vitamins/Celebrities|twouble with [his] aw's]]"), and appears to have [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|short-term memory problems]], as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). Homestar has also shown an incredible ability to sleep, which has been known to get him into trouble. The most extreme example of this oversleeping is the toon [[Weclome Back]], where he slept through June, and possibly the better half of May as well. He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]].

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. Occasionally, he and Strong Bad will be on pleasant terms, usually participating together in a Strong Bad Email or watching TV at Homestar's house. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar's is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, but still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins." It should also be noted that Homestar's psychology may account for his sleepwalking behavior, as exhibited in the Strong Bad Email [[nightlife]].

[[Image:Homestar 3d variation.PNG|thumb|140px|Homestar has a low polygon count.]]

[[Image:Homestarteeth.png|thumb|130px|Yes, he does have teeth.]]

Homestar has behaved indignantly at various times, often due to discussions of tender subjects, misunderstanding the topic at-hand or his general ignorance of the present situation. While in this state he acts single-mindedly, and in extreme instances violently. This side of his character, not often shown on the website, is often followed by his coming down into an upset and exhausted state, such as in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he refuses to acknowledge [[Marzipan]]'s absence, or in [[long pants]], when he adamantly rejects the suggestion that he doesn't wear long pants. In [[email thunder]], he claims that on this occasion he had accidentally taken some of Strong Sad's pills.

At present, Homestar works on the [[isp|help desk]] at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]] with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He was paid for his work in the commercials with a lifetime supply of "[[Color flavored|Red Flavored]] [[Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance]]". He is also the host of an obscure talk/game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in at least one ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' movie, has sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], has revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also has guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, singing, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. He also seems to really like [[bread]], as seen in [[origins]] and [[disconnected]]. Other favored foods are [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|marshmallows]], [[Bronco Trolleys]], [[melonade]], and supposedly [[Wikipedia:Hot Pockets|Hot Pockets]], according to the email [[dullard]]. His most prized possession is his propeller-cap and its [[Spin My Buzzer|"buzzer"]]. He might be a fan of the [[Wikipedia:NHL|NHL]]'s [[Wikipedia:Boston Bruins|Boston Bruins]], as he is seen wearing a Bruins shirt in [[Superbowl Dealie]].

He, [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]], and [[Pom Pom]], appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]]. The King of Town calls upon his and Pom Pom's assistance in [[The King of Town DVD]], suggesting higher authority and/or credibility. However, he is also seen as a thief in [[candy product]], stealing a pair of half-eaten "choco-pants". In the October 2007 special [[Jibblies 2]], he saves his friends by agreeing to stay inside the [[Horrible Painting]] for "eternity".

== Character Video Transcript ==
[[Image:CharacterVidHomestar.png|thumb|"Don't forget '{{#switch:{{#rand:1|3}}| 1 = moron | 2 = doofus | 3 = um... Lionel Ritchie}}'!"]]
''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''
''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me.... Homestar!... Runner!... Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, and have the only propeller cap. ''{propeller cap twirls}'' And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

''{Strong Bad sticks his arm into the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says one of the following lines, picked randomly}''
*Don't forget "doofus"!
*Don't forget "moron"!
*Don't forget um... "Lionel Richie"!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

===Fun Facts===
*Homestar shows off his [[Buttdance|butt dance]] again multiple times.
*Homestar could only hold his breath for about 3 seconds in [[Halloween Fairstival]], but in the older [[Yearbook Character Page]], he could hold his breath for about 11 seconds.
*Homestar also appears to have a nervous twitch, which would be revealed in later cartoons, as his head repeatedly snaps back and forth while talking.

== Homestar's Eyes ==
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|Cartoon straight-on]]
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
Homestar's eyes are quite strange.
*Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], Homestar's eyes seem to move as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], [[action figure]], and the [[Eggs (toon)|Eggs toon]], he faces to the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
**It is possible that Homestar's eyes are in fact on the front of his head, but his generally accepted stature always has him facing slightly to the side. Because he is a cartoon character, the three-dimensional shape of his head and face are not shown, so the viewer is left to infer the eyes' correct positions based on which direction Homestar appears to be facing.

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally the other side of Puppet Homestar's face can be seen.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

*Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the Email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously.

==Homestar Runner's Hat==
:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner's Hat]]''
[[Image:Homestarhat.png|thumb|200px|It's my buzzer!]]
Homestar Runner usually wears a blue and red propeller cap, commonly called a beanie. He calls the propeller a "buzzer." In an interview with [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision Magazine]], he claimed that he was born with his hat on. He is occasionally seen without it. He had lost his hat in [[Where My Hat is At?]] and apparently [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] (according to the DVD commentary) as well. In the email [[super powers]], Strong Bad managed to make the hat pop off of Homestar's head. In the email [[car]], Homestar had his hat "tricked out" with features such as hydraulics and underglow neon. He also claimed that if Strong Bad [[Spin My Buzzer|spun his "buzzer"]], it would play the theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', but it was obvious Homestar hummed it himself. Homestar dressed as himself in [[TrogdorCon '97]], and wore two hats as a result.

[[Image:Homestar's Legs and shirt in the middle.PNG|50px|thumb|In the middle]]
[[Image:Onetwo_hrfoot.PNG|50px|thumb|left|The bottom of his feet]]

Homestar's shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. [[Strong Bad]] stole the star in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and used it to coax Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] into wrestling [[Strong Mad]] and himself. Despite the brothers' loss to Homestar and Pom Pom, Strong Bad tore up the star, and only by kicking Strong Bad and taking one of the stars floating around his head was Homestar able to return his shirt to its original glory. The only other times Homestar's star has been removed were in [[different town]], in which Strong Bad imagined Homestar angrily tearing the star off his shirt and stamping on it when he "called it quits", and [[hygiene]], when he takes it off and blows his nose in it as John. Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner.

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day. [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] offered the alternative explanation that the star shirt somehow became stuck in his craw while he somersaulted around the world fifty times.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

Other than his propeller cap, Homestar's shirt appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. In [[long pants]], Strong Bad claims that Homestar doesn't have shoes, but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. However, a Homestar costume is available in [[SBCG4AP]] as separate shirt, white pants, and white shoes with blue soles. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

Note that the shirt is also straight compared to the eyes on the unfinished toon, [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

==Homestar & Marzipan==

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]''
Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time. Although Homestar frequently (and usually inadvertently) insults Marzipan, and she claims to have broken up with him several times, the two still seem to stick together. It is unclear how their relationship started, but the fact that their relationship is never truly broken suggests that they really do love each other.

Homestar appears to greatly value their relationship; on the ''rare'' occasion that he realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy, he will spring into a desperate ploy to patch things up. He also seems to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar with the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even then, Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" appeared to be tenuous, as he voiced her flirting with other men. (This could be due to lasting paranoia and suspicion following a series of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 3.0|answering machine messages]] in which both Bubs and Coach Z tried to ask her out on a date.) Cardboard Marzipan returned in [[No Hands on Deck|August of 2006]], when she was slightly more positive with Homestar, and said she was proud of his unusually-constructed deck.

In [[Date Nite]], Marzipan went out with The Cheat, much to Homestar's dismay. Though the date went well, Marzipan did not stay with The Cheat. She later went out with Bubs, to Coach Z's dismay.

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).

[[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] tells us. But as of the email [[narrator]] it seems they're back to having boring conversations outside [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].

Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he actually won them.

== Character Video Transcript ==
[[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]
''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on? ''{turns to the camera lens}'' Hey there, ho there! I'm the Coach! The Coach Z, I'd guess you'd call me. Or plain old Coach is fine, seein' as I'm the only one around, so, probably no one else would answer to that. You say "Hey Coach!", and I'd say "Yeah?" or..."That's me!" or..."Hoo-hah!" ''{waves his arms in the air}'' Any one of those. There's rumors flyin' around that I sleep in one of these lockers ''{gestures to the lockers behind him}'', but uh, that's just not true. I usually crash on this bench here. ''{gestures to the bench behind him}'' My back's not in real good condition. ''{rubs his back}'' And now, I'd like to perform my hip-hop single, "These peoples try to fade me." ''{holds up a microphone, begins to sing}'' A one-two, a one-two—!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears in front of camera}'' Sorry. We're all out of tape.

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

===Sounds Affected===
The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says it correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people.
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.

Bubs

WarthogDemon — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:00:09 GMT

WarthogDemon: /* Halloween Costumes */ The Junkyard Dog

{{charnav|Bubs|bubs|Coach Z|The King of Town}}
[[Image:newestbubs.png|thumb|right|220px|"100% All Original Bubs!"]]
[[Image:bubsid.PNG|thumb|He doesn't look half bad!]]
== Biography ==
'''Bubs''' (full name: '''Bubs Concession Stand''', as he claims in [[Senorial Day]]) is the all around fix-it man. He has a round blue head, [[mismatched eyes]] (his right eye is white with a blue iris while his left is simply a black dot), and a permanent toothy smile that moves when he talks. His upper body is orange, and according to Strong Bad, Bubs has flipper arms. He has a green stripe around his middle which, according to Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, is a belt, and his lower half is colored dark gray.

Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell [[Bubs' Concession Stand#Known Items Sold|almost anything]], and has developed a habit for selling ridiculous items at a humorously high price. Bubs is also on the run from at least one collection agency, though at the same time he represents at least one collection agency, as seen in [[other days]]. He also has been seen operating the [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], which he drove down to the beach in [[Weclome Back]]. However, he only sold "exactly zero baloney sandwiches" during his "best year ever." Bubs resells Internet access, although he rips off his sole subscriber, [[Strong Bad]], in 99 different ways (though none of them are "throttling down", as Strong Bad claims). It's likely that not all of his dealings are exactly legal, considering his reaction to a practical joke from Strong Bad in [[lackey]], and trying to dispose of items marked EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B (presumably a human pancreas which he tried to sell to [[Homestar Runner]]) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]]. In his spare time he reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine, and also hangs out and talks with [[Coach Z]]. Apparently, Coach Z got on Bubs' bad side near Thanksgiving in 2005, and to get even, Bubs made a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the [[Fall Float Parade]]. (Coach Z retaliated by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] stole his concession stand and marched with it in the parade.) In [[narrator]] (February 2006), it was shown that they had patched things up and were once again having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. Bubs also apparently has licenses to do a lot of different things, such as being a Bail Bondsman, Paranormal Investigator, Normal Investigator (not at all associated with "Bubs: Paranormal Investigator"), and "Dr." Bubs (TV/VCR repair). As shown in [[licensed]], Bubs apparently has an inverted and twisted understanding of what quality of product to sell where, due to the fact that he sells apparently "consumer-safe" products on the black market, and hazardous products at the concession stand. (The fact that Bubs sells "consumer-safe" products on the black market isn't entirely true, as the Cheat had an allergy to some ferret [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|ointment]] that Bubs was selling, and the piñatas contained broken glass which injured Homestar.)

Bubs [[Dancin' Bubs|dances]] and attends night courses at [[Disco Tech]]. His facial configuration is puzzling; in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear. In Strong Bad's [[record book]], he was solely declared "Cutest couple."

Bubs's alter-ego is the [[The Thnikkaman|Thnikkaman]]. During Decemberween, he also turns into the Decemberween Thnikkaman. No one but Homestar seems to suspect any relationship with Bubs and the Thnikkaman.

In [[unnatural]], Bubs was mutated into [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] after being flushed down the toilet. Strong Sad cured this with a bowl of kashi.
[[Image:Bubs 3D variation.PNG|thumb|left|115px|Legitimate 3D business.]]

In [[original]], Strong Bad claimed that there was another Bubs, known as [[Original Bubs]], who had great eyesight and could always see Homestar "from over there". Bubs got angry and claimed that he was the "100% All Original Bubs". He claimed, "If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!" Marzipan claims that there was no such character, but Homestar claims to miss him.

According to a discussion by [[The Deleteheads]] in [[fan club]], Bubs has apparently been married at least twice, since Strong Sad mentions his first wife.

== Character Video Transcript ==
[[Image:CharacterVidBubs.png|thumb|"We're always awesome!"]]
''{'''Page Title:''' Bargain Basement Prices!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' Bubs' Concession Stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! I'm Bubs. I run the concession stand around the way here. I'm a self-made man, I am, I am. I sell hot dogs, chili dogs, slaw dogs, ketchup dogs and mustard dogs. I got drinks, drinks, drinks, candy and snow cones. I can fix everything what needs fixing. Like cars... TVs... marriages. Ooh! I can dance, too. ''{starts doing the wave}'' Shake it once! Shake it twice, a-gimme little bit o' sugar spice! I guess the word that best describes me is: personality. Umm... because I have a good personality. Okay. I gotta get back to work. Come on by! We're always awesome! ''{leaves, then reappears in his Concession Stand in the background}''

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Bubs Evolution - Bendy Arms.PNG|thumb|Bubs now has bendy arms!]]
* Bubs is based on a person [[The Brothers Chaps]] knew growing up who worked at a concession stand locally and spoke with the same gravelly voice.
**Matt has also admitted in interviews that Bubs's voice was heavily borrowed from the voice of [[imdb:nm0289359|Redd Foxx]] (of [[imdb:tt0068128|''Sanford and Son'']] fame).
*Bubs says he used to be able to "fly" until he said "sbu," which canceled his abilities, in the Strong Bad Email [[lunch special]]. However, Bubs says that since he gained so much weight, he could only hover a few inches off the ground, so it wasn't much of a loss. Strong Bad believes he's a big liar, and even Homestar reckons he's faking it even with the evidence before his eyes.
*According to [[keep cool]], Bubs isn't a very strong swimmer because he was wearing water wings when he was in the pool.
*Also, as seen in [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] and [[lunch special]], Bubs talks about how he gained weight, implying that at some point in his life, he was skinnier.

==Transcript==
{{sectionstub}}
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween Party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Opening credits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''Who Cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ...ooh. I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy Lot!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Alright now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down."

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror'd-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifths cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, whew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy? Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers. ''{The Carnivorous Undead Sheep jumps out}'' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again! ''{Pom Pom pulls out a handgun}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants! ''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grands into a hundred grand? ''{The Goblin shakes his head}'' But I thought at midnight you— ''{The Goblin does his dance}'' Oh, man! ''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music}'' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

==Transcript==
{{sectionstub}}
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween Party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Opening credits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''Who Cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ...ooh. I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy Lot!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Alright now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down."

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror'd-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifths cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, whew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy? Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers. ''{The Carnivorous Undead Sheep jumps out}'' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again! ''{Pom Pom pulls out a handgun}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants! ''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grands into a hundred grand? ''{The Goblin shakes his head}'' But I thought at midnight you— ''{The Goblin does his dance}'' Oh, man! ''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music}'' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

WarthogDemon: Added note. I sadly have no idea what email it was at when I first found the site.

Greetings, sir or madam. My name is WarthogDemon. As you can guess, I like Homestar Runner. How did I discover the site? Well...

Many years ago (around the year 2002) I was browsing flash cartoon sites. I forget which one of those sites linked to Homestar Runner, but it did. Not to a main page, but rather it linked straight to the old games. I glanced around but nothing caught my interest. I left and forgot about it for about 2 years. Then while on a cartoon proboard, I became friends with someone who loved the site. He showed me The Cheat's character video and Strong Mad's character video. I decided to explore a little more of this website. I discovered the emails and watched several. I finally became a fan.

Sincerely, 
{{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} and "The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee", 06:47, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

==Other welcome==

Hey MHarrington, I noticed nobody really welcomed you yet. So there's a welcome from Heimstern, with the guidelines, links and everything. Thanks for contributing, hope to see you around the wiki, and feel free to make a [[User:MHarrington|userpage]] about yourself sometime. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

==Exclamation! Marks!==
Hey! Just in case you were thinking of embarking on a project to overhaul exclamation-point usage, I thought I'd chime in. While I like many of the changes you made to [[That A Ghost]] (especially the addition of ''{wheezily}''), there are some that I'd prefer keeping as exclamations (don't worry, I'll take care of it). I'm reminded of [[User talk:216.93.236.30|an anonymous user]] in the fall who made similar revisions to quite a few pages (I can't help but wonder—could that have been you?); at the time I said "We don't want it to look like Mary Worth, but it's not like <nowiki>[exclamation marks]</nowiki> are inherently wrong. I tend to go by the character's expression as a guideline." —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:That said, I am impressed with your use of the [[Wikipedia:Interrobang|interrobang]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

==Userpage==

Hi MHarrington. I appreciate your recent contributions to the projects, but was wondering if you would consider making a brief [[User:MHarrington|userpage]]? Seeing [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] full of edits made by a red linked username is a bit... Disconcerting. It's totally up to you, but I'm sure lots of us would appreciate getting to know a bit about you. Also this is kind of a minor thing, but please try and use the "Show preview" button a bit more, to decrease the number of "tweaking" edits. All in all though, thanks for being such a great user, and keep up the good work. '''EDIT:''' ''Thanks. ;)'' {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

== Old-Timey ==

MHarrington, please note how I have deleted the "old-timey" template three times just today, I believe. Also note how I have gone and reverted every single one of your edits adding that template to assorted pages without so much as a mention of this project or waiting for feedback in the least. Next time you choose to embark on a project such as this, make sure you get permission first and more importantly, make sure it hasn't already been done. I hope you've learned through this. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 06:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
:In case you haven't seen it yet, we discussed this template [[HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive3#Template Overload|here]] a while ago, and decided to delete it. I did link to that page when I [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Log/delete?page=Template:Old-Timey first deleted it]... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
:While I would have chosen the word "concensus" over "permission", Lapper is correct. Major changes should not be unilaterally implemented. While no changes can be undone, it's wise to weigh the "un-do-ability" of any new change before deciding to post for comments or simply tackling it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

== Featured Article Noms ==

Is there some reason you added every form of Strong Bad page to the featured article nominations? Not all of them deserve to be featured, imo, and indiscriminately nominating articles will simply slow the process down. {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 06:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

== Why must you be so negative about me? ==

What is wrong with my contributions? I'm just trying to help. Why do you hate my additions?

:Actually, M, most of your edits are quite good. There are times when we all make edits which are not going to stay, though. Don't worry, you're doing well.
:BTW, I noticed you were marking edits minor. That should be reserved for reverting vandalism, spelling corrections, formatting, that sort of the thing. But if you change the content of the page, even a little, it's a major edit. See [[Help:Editing#Minor edits|Help:Editing]] for the whole shebang. Again, keep up the good work! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

What I'm just trying to explain is that most things I send in are deleted. I'm just trying to help. Maybe you can give me a hand. Can you tell what I can and can't do so that no one is quite so objectionable about my efforts? Thanks.

:Let me be the first to say that I immensely appreciate your efforts. You tirelessly work to improve this wiki without spending the majority of your time on User or Talk pages. Looking at your contributions, you've made over 400 article contributions, and only 8 talk edis! While applauding your efforts on being such an efficient worker, I would suggest that being involved in community discussion more will help you choose to create excellent articles that benifit the wiki to a greater degree. You seem like a very intelligent, level headed editor, one that would be well respected when giving insights and suggestions in discussions. Often there can be more work to be done cleaning up pages, such as the [[NYU Talk]], rather than creating new ones. As a minor suggestion, getting into the habit of signing your talk page posts with four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> will help you make a bigger name for yourself here. I just want to reiterate just how much I do appreciate your selfless work here though, and I hope that you continue your efforts. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC) ''P.S.'' Have you considered providing an email address under your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]? Your email will remain anonymous to those sending you emails, as they are sent through the wiki unless you reply to them.
::I posted this on the article's discussion page, but you might have missed it. You are a good writer, MHarrington. You do a good job of formatting articles right off the bat. You even include all the necessary categories upon creation. However, many people seem to be trying so hard to think of an article to write that often times the article doesn't have a solid foundation of true references from the site. Again, I encourage you to continue contributing, mostly by improving existing articles. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] has also suggested that you can help us improve the [[:Category:Stubs|stub]] articles. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 18:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
:Well, the truth is I did try to improve the stub articles, but I just can't find anything to improve them with. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== Feet/Inches ==

Re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad_Lore&curid=19177&diff=335840&oldid=335187&rcid=284730 this edit]: have you ever seen [[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|This Is Spinal Tap]]? A similar mixup between inches and feet led to a rock and roll disaster. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
:I never thought of that. Thanks. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:59, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

== inprogress ==

Please, if you're not going to be editing a transcript for a significant amount of time, remove the "inprogress" tag from the section. The transcript for [[keep cool]] was deadlocked for an hour when you left the tag but did not make any edits. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
: I suddenly realized my mistake when I noticed that you were not the one who replaced the inprogress tag. My mistake. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

::Re: http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=cliffhangers&curid=27766&diff=368053&oldid=368051&rcid=318126 - did you see the "inprogress" template? Please don't edit sections which have that template. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

:::I did see the inprogress template, but why can't I edit sections that have that template? Isn't that why it's there? To add in more? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
::::No, it says "please don't edit", because someone else is working on it. There are different templates, and the one you were thinking of is the "cleanup" template. This one was the "inprogress" template.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Forums vs. Discussions ==
I've been placing speculations on future things on the website in their respective discussion pages, but everyone keeps saying to put them in the forum. What's the difference between them? Because I certainly do not know. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:Talk pages are mainly for discussing changes to the article and so on. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::But why can't speculations be added there? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Because it's distracting us from what we do at the wiki. That's why we have these different places like the forum and the fanstuff wiki. The forum is for any type of chatter and speculation, while the fanstuff wiki is for all kinds of made up stuff. The Homestar Runner wiki is a knowledge base that documents facts about the Homestar Runner universe, not speculation. Hope this helps.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
::::Certainly, if it's speculating on what we ought to do with the page, post it on Talk. If it has to do with editing the article at all, it belongs in the Talk. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::Yes. It's just questions like "I wonder what will be on the DVD" or "Wouldn't it be cool if TBC did this and that" that are off-topic for here.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I'm afraid I may have some difficulty getting onto the forums. I may not have permission from my parents to do this. What should I do? Should I ask permission or keep them in the dark? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:Yes please, ask your parents first. You can tell them that the forum is basically a part of this wiki, and the same rules regarding offensive language etc. apply (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!). There is a great overlap between wiki and forum people, and it's hosted by the same folks. I see no reason why your parents shouldn't allow you to join the forum if they are happy with the wiki :-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

::You're right. But I'm just worried they may say no. Plus, I'm very wary of any troublemakers on the Internet. I'm just wondering if there is anywhere else I can place my speculations besides just the forums. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, it's smart to know there is absolutely no guarantee of safety or privacy on the Internet. I have advised parents in the past to consider how they'd handle their child alone in Times Square at night - monitor your child online as you would there. However, you'd be hard pressed to find an overall nicer bunch of folks than the regs at the Forum (or here). While caution is merited, I think the risk is limited. The mods here and at the Forum are diligent and troublemakers are dealt with. The topic is both interesting to a milder sensibility and obscure enough to not be attractive to a person who might be a predator. Overall, I'm of the mind you'd be absolutely safe on the Forum, though I of course cannot guarantee that anywhere, even in your own home! (And as far as my credentials, I'm a former public-school educator with extensive experience in computer tech so I do know what I'm talking about.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== You = Miguel? ==

Are you [[HRFWiki:User:Miguel|Miguel]] on the Fanstuff wiki? If so, are you going to finish [[HRFWiki:The House Ghost|this]]? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 18:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

:I got busy. I'm not sure if I will finish it. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 23:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

==Merging==
How do I merge articles? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:Well, first you wait for consensus in Talk regarding whether it should be or not. Once that's done, I'm afraid the only way is the long way - manually editing the articles in question. What articles were you thinking about? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::I'm talking about merging the [[Racquet Games]] and [[Badminton]] articles and also the [[Homestar's Pants]] and [[Homestar's Daisy Dukes]] articles. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== your recent edit ==

regarding [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=band_names&diff=prev&oldid=452106 this] edit, why did you change the order? [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 23:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

:Because that's the order of appearance according to Strong Bad. Just watch the email yourself, you'll see what I mean. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 23:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

::Well that makes sense actually. Umm... ''{searching for right thing to say now]'' Keep up... the good work? [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 23:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

== Iron Cup of Brunswick Stew! ==

[[Image:Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.jpg|thumb|TA-DA MHarrington!]]
Hey, MHarrington. I saw you've been making tons of good edits, like creating [[Strong Bad Smiling]], [[Strong Mad Smiling]], [[Strong Sad Smiling]], [[Lasers]],[[Douglas]], [[Mottos and Slogans]], [[Strong Bad Email By Closing]], [[References To Icons (Halloween Costumes)]], [[Mustaches]] and [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five]]. So, I wanted to award you (drumroll...) '''THE IRON CUP OF BRUNSWICK STEW'''.
<blockquote>This award, the first on HRWiki, is given to recognize good contributions and to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated. It was given to [[The Cheat]] by [[Strong Bad]] for his good work on [[New Boots]].</blockquote>
Keep up the awesome work, MHarrington! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 21:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for awarding me. If I keep up the good work, will I get awarded with a Trophy full o' Steakumms?

==Congrats==
Hey, I have to say, excellent work on [[Popular Music References]], and to tell you, if you didn't already have a iron cup, I probably would give you one too. Keep up the good work!--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 03:09, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::Oh, just so you know, much of the info I got is from the artists' respective wiki articles. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== Halloween Costumes ==

Just dropping by to tell you how much I like your Halloween costume ideas. Homsar as Waldo and Strong Sad as Gary Brolsma are my favorites. :-) {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 12:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

== Edit Summaries ==

Hi MHarrington, I've noticed that many of your main namespace edits do not have an edit summary. I would like to encourage you to make better use of the edit summary feature even if it means having a brief one or two-word summary. This would help the other editors have a better idea of what your edits did at a glance. Since you've been a good established editor for some time I wanted to provide this little bit of advice to help us run the wiki a tad bit smoother. Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:29, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I just added another one, about [[Marzipan's Old Mouth]], but I forgot to add the summary for them. I didn't realize my error until it was too late. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
::No worries, it can take a bit to grow into the habit. It is just good to see better editing habits. Keep on tranglin'! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

== Have you tried editing? Gnome work? Wearing a baseball cap and putting punctuation on outside your quotes? ==

Hey there, I've noticed that a [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Icon_References_In_Halloween_Costumes&diff=551331&oldid=551330&rcid=508603 couple] of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Dan&diff=551500&oldid=550466&rcid=508774 times] you have moved punctuation into quotes. Our policy here is to keep the punctuation outside the quotes. Hope that helps. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, sorry. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

== Archiving FAS ==

Hey there, I think it would be best if we leave the discussions on the FAS page until the featured article in question is completely off the main page, that is, until after 00:00 on Monday, UTC. That way, any time people wonder, "Hmm, why is that on the main page?", they can check the page and find out without looking in the archive. It's not a big deal, so I don't think it's worth the time to undo this week's archiving, but I think that would be a better way to do it in the future. Let me know if you agree with this. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
:Well, I guess you're right, but I still think we need to include the upcoming article at a later time. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:08, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
::I don't understand what you mean by including the upcoming article at a later time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I meant to do the article for the next week as that week approaches, like what I'm doing right now. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
::::You mean the writeup, then? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yeah. But can we also add the writeup in question to the featured articles page, even though it's not quite around Sunday yet? Because that's when the article in question is usually displayed on the main page. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::Sounds fine to me. Anything relating to putting up the new featured article is fine to do a bit in advance (though don't forget that disputed cases should be decided by a sysop). It's just that we should wait until after 00:00 UTC to do anything related to taking down the old one (at least in my opinion). Cheers. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Okay, thanks. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::::No problem. And thank you for doing the writeups recently. It's been really good to have a break from that. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::You're welcome. And forgive me for saying so, but it seems like I'm the only one who cares about the featured articles anymore. All (well, most) of the additions for the weeks ahead are all my ideas. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Well, umm, I'm not sure that's quite a fair assessment. You see, you tend to add those suggestions quite a ways in advance, almost at the very first available moment. So I'm no sure it has much to do with your being the only one to care; I think many people might make suggestions if they weren't all already made so quickly. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Well, in fairness, I guess you're right. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::Yes, and I see you've jumped right in to make another suggestion this week. I know you're eager to see certain articles featured, but I'd like to ask you to please consider waiting longer and giving others a chance to make some suggestions. It appears to me that for several weeks in a row, you've made the first suggestion just about as soon as the it was ten weeks in advance. This doesn't give anyone else a chance. There's no pressing need to start discussion on an week ten weeks before it occurs, so let's just let it rest sometimes and give someone else a turn to make the first suggestion. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:20, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::::I'm sorry. I'll hold off on doing more of these for a while. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Is it okay if I were to add a suggestion for Week 52 when it rolls around, please? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:11, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't see you'd posted this, or I'd have replied earlier. Sure, go on ahead. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
::Since Week 52 would be the week we feature a [[Decemberween]] toon, I'm thinking of [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], particularly since we've done [[Summer Short Shorts]] already. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

== Halloween Screamshots ==

LOL, I'm so smart aren't I? Scream? Get it? . . . . . . er, *ahem* Yeah. Anyways, this is the first time I've tried a hand at uploading screenshots. Are they good are should any have retakes? -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 06:12, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:No, they're good. Now all that needs to be done now is to just shrink them down to proper size, like all the others. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, okay no prob. I was trying to get them as big as they could be and still look good. I'll make them match. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 06:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Ketchup Fountain SOUL'd Separately!

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween Party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Opening credits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''Who Cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ...ooh. I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy Lot!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Alright now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down."

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror'd-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom, now that I know that we're not in a theme park, I say we try to find that Green Goblin. I heard that if you find him right at midnight, he'll spin all your Halloween candies into gold! Instead of just doing that regular old two-bit dance. ''{imitates the Green Goblin's dance}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{jumps up in frustration}'' YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{taking a picture of Strong Sad posing by a gravestone}'' Almost... a little less lurk, and a little more skulk.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Like...''this?'' ''{hunches forward more}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''There'' we go. ''{She photographs him. The Polaroid develops, but Strong Sad is missing from the picture.}'' You're not showing up in these pictures. ''{she pulls up several other photographs where Strong Sad is absent}'' Strong Sad, is there something you need to tell me? Are you dead?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{jubilantly}'' Whoa, maybe I am! I finally willed myself to death! This is great!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Bubs! Check it out! You're not the only one with relatives here. My great good-aunt is buried right under our feet!

'''BUBS:''' Naw, you come over here and look at this! I want you to see my great-great granduncle. He invented "No Payments till 2010!"

'''COACH Z:''' Hi there.

''{Bubs looks to the left. Apparently he and Coach Z were referring to the same grave.}''

'''BUBS:''' Wait! Hold on a sec'! Are you telling me my uncle is your aunt?

'''COACH Z:''' Seems that way! Bubs! This is great news! This means we're brothers! I always knew it!

'''BUBS:''' Or it means you're a liar! Besides, even if it ''were'' true, we'd only be sixth-fourth-second-fifths cousins, thrice removed!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, whew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ZGOR! I VOTE ZGOR!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Pom Pom. It's almost midnight. Ready with the Halloween candy? Man, I can't wait to try out gold whatchamacallits. Gold...oh yes, Snickers. ''{The Carnivorous Undead Sheep jumps out}'' AHH!! The Cheat's got rabies again! ''{Pop Pom pulls out a handgun}''

'''COACH Z:''' What was that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh my goodness!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to look at The Cheat, surprised}'' The Cheat, you got rabies again?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh oh. Let's beat it, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yahoo, seriously, Pom Pom! I'm about to pee my pants! ''{The Goblin jumps out and lands on top of the Carnivorous Undead Sheep, popping its head off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Gobalin! You saved us! Now are you going to turn all of our 100 Grands into a hundred grand? ''{The Goblin shakes his head}'' But I thought at midnight you— ''{The Goblin does his dance}'' Oh, man! ''{The music becomes a techno-remix of the Goblin Dance music}'' Hooray! Extended dance remix of the Gobalin song!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check out that awesome dead undead sheep!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Some say it's an escaped laboratory test animal. They call it "Subject X."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the coolest name I ever heard of! The Cheat! Grab the jumper cables and— hey! Where'd the pickled monkey fingers go?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{in the distance, running away from the graveyard}'' I don't knoooooow!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, old buddy! Happy Carousel of Progress, Pom Pom. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed again}'' I mean, Halloween, Pom Pom.

'''Page Title:''' Ketchup Fountain SOUL'd Separately!

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh man, you guys! I can't believe we actually came to the King of Town's crappy Halloween Party!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You boys having a good time? Try the ketchup fountain yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This party sucks, old man! This is Halloween! Where's the decaying flesh? The rotting corpses? The stink of death!

''{The Poopsmith comes into the frame holding a rotting skull made of [[whatsit]] on his shovel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... not exactly what I was talking about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, fine! If stinky dead people is all you want, why don't you go hang out in that 200-acre cemetery that's been behind my castle all this time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-jig-ga-ma-WHAT?

''{Opening credits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a cemetery? This is awesome! How come nobody ever told me about this place?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You didn't know about this place? Man, if it weren't for the library, I'd spend—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have a ''Who Cares''?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{excited}'' Yeah! It still uses Dewey Decimal and everything! ...ooh. I hate it when you do that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha ha ha! C'mon guys, let's go find a suitable stiff to exhume and reanimate.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... man, Pom Pom. This is gonna be so great. First we'll hit Space Mountain, then over to Mr. Toad's, then Tom Sawyer's Island, ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' and don't forget: we parked in the Goofy Lot!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You think I should have told them about that carnivorous undead sheep that prowls the graveyard?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Alright now Marzipan, remember: we have to hold our breath in front of the dead. Ready? Go! ''{tries to hold his breath, but immediately exhales and starts gasping}'' Okay, nevermind! Sorry, the dead!

'''MARZIPAN:''' This place is perfect for my Intro to Photography class. I've already hit the railroad tracks, and an abandoned factory. This will complete the amateur trifecta!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold on, I think I got it! ''{tries to hold his breath again, and again immediately fails}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, look! There's my great-great-grandpappy's Cousin Harold! He discovered the "Bait and Switch!" Ooh, and this is his brother Mort! He invented "No Money Down."

'''COACH Z:''' All your dead relatives are making wanna start one of them horror'd-core rap groups. I could pull on a hockey mask and call myself "Coach Zgor Mortizzz!" ''{a CD case pops up reading "THE GRAVEYARDIGANZ — Featuring COACH ZGOR MORTIZZZ" with three Coach Z heads wearing hockey masks pictured}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, man! Show some respect! ''{points to a third tombstone reading "ZGOR — another relative of Bubs"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's a great place to start looking! I wonder why they call it "Snarling Hungry Sheep Hill"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at some of these names! Jim-Nealius Hog-chigger? Hebby Screbby? Is there some secret period in history when hobos ruled the Earth that I'm unaware of?

'''STRONG MAD:''' {jumps up in frustration} YOU SAID WE'D GET A ZOMBIE SLAVE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, Thwomp Mad. We will. We just gotta find somebody with a cool name. Let's keep looking.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, whew. So your sister and I can— ''{Bubs punches him, he screams and is knocked to the ground}''

''{Cut to a tombstone reading "Here Lies Plutis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' "Plutis?!" What is wrong with you dead people?! I don't want to reanimate a corpse named ''Plutis'' doing my bidding! Doesn't any dead body with a good name around here want to be reanimated with these jumper cables and pickled monkey fingers?
