Several [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters, most notably [[Strong Bad]], have been known to '''lie blatantly''' to one another or to the audience, often in an attempt to persuade others of the veracity of a situation, when in fact the opposite is extremely obvious. Sometimes the contradiction isn't immediately blatant, but always later on is revealed to be an obvious, deliberate lie. Sometimes the lie is blatant because it is admitted or proved to be a lie, other times because it is impossible the liar is telling the truth, and still other times the lie is so poorly constructed that one can't help but know it's a lie. Generally, blatant lies are most frequently used to cover up some embarrassing fact about the liar, or (especially in Strong Bad's case) to make the liar seem better. The facts that are lied about are also often brought up by the liar himself, without there being any previous accusation. Whatever the reason, blatant lies are the frequent lies that are, quite clearly, the worst and most ineffective practices of deceit in the [[Homestar Runner universe]].

===Strong Bad Emails===
*Email [[stand-up]] — Strong Bad insists that he has never done stand-up comedy. Strong Sad appears to prove otherwise.

Also, he then tapes a piece of paper reading "the cheat" on the [[Compy 386]] to make it look as if emails to him are to The Cheat. Furthermore, Strong Bad claims that The Cheat doesn't have a computer, when in fact the exact opposite is true.
*Email [[stunt double]] — Strong Bad says that he doesn't use a stunt double. When ''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1'' is then shown, it is obvious that [[Strong Sad]] is Strong Bad's stunt double.

Strong Sad immediately protests from off camera and Strong Bad tells him to be quiet. He then concludes with Strong Sad being adopted. Strong Sad protests that "that's not true either!"

*Email [[rated]] — Strong Bad tries to convince [[Senor Cardgage]] that Bubs and Coach Z are his kids, and that they are old enough for him to be in his sixties.
*Email [[your edge]] — When The Cheat walks in wearing an apron, Strong Bad tells him it is ''not'' "Pretend We're Grandmas Baking" Time and it will never be again, then immediately whispers "see me after this email".

*Email [[videography]] — In Strong Bad's demo reel for his videography films, there are several lies about what is in the videos he used for examples.

===Marzipan's Answering Machine===
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]]
**After leaving Marzipan a prank call, Strong Bad calls back for baking advice, insisting that he is calling her for the first time that day.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0]]
**When [[Pom Pom]] calls and apparently tells Marzipan about something that Homestar said, Homestar repeatedly insists that he did not say that, and that Pom Pom is crazy.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]]
**When Strong Bad calls, he says that he has a real girlfriend who "lives up in the other country," for whom he needs to buy a Valentine's Day present, reiterating that, "She's really REAL."
**Homestar pretends to be a dial tone after realizing that he has called Marzipan annoying and overbearing on her own answering machine. After he pretends to be the dial tone, he says "Okay, bye!"
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]]
**When Coach Z calls, he accidentally lets it slip that he breaks into Marzipan's house, but then tries to take it back and then talk about curly fries.
**When Strong Bad calls, he says that tofu is made from baby seals.

===SBCG4AP===
*[[Homestar Ruiner]]
**When calling Coach Z his answering machine states "You've reached the cordless cell phone, and not the public pay-phone, of Coach Z."
**When asking Homestar or Marzipan why he wasn't invited to Homestar's victory party, both of them claim it's because the other dislikes Strong Bad. While Homestar's claim is true, Marzipan's claim that Homestar dislikes him is most likely a lie.
**Another instance involving the party: When asking Marzipan why he wasn't invited she asks him if he remembered the last time she invited him to a party. After having a detailed flashback of the event, Strong Bad replies "Uhh... no."
**Shortly after the instance listed above, Strong Bad notices that the party seems to focus more on Marzipan's garden than Homestar's unlikely victory. When he questions Marzipan, she denies it claiming she would never put her award winning vegetable garden before "...uuhh...". After Strong Bad said "Homestar" for her, she replied, "Right! Homsar."
*[[Strong Badia the Free]]
**When Strong Bad gets the medal from an airline, he says it's for not crying during the whole flight, then claims that it's for rescuing the plane and [[Making Out|making out]] with the flight attendants.
**Bubs claimed that he was just only working in the country "Pompomerania", and not embezzling thousands of dollars from [[Club Technochocolate]] itself.
*[[Baddest of the Bands]]
**Giving Strong Sad the security jacket and selecting the Devil Strong Bad will cause Strong Bad to claim it's for the band "Security".
**Later, upon examining the katana, Strong Bad says that Pom Pom TOTALLY didn't get his sword back by giving him wedgies; he donated it.
**When examining the pond after the bleach gets in it, Strong Bad will stare at all the dead fish and a tear drips from his eye. He claims he got bleach in his eye.
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]
**When interviewing the King of Town about the similarities between himself and his character, Perducci, The King of Town briefly mentions hiring people overseas to steal priceless art to sell on the black market. When Strong Bad ask him to repeat that last part, The King of Town claims he only mentioned that they both wear fancy hats.
*[[8-Bit Is Enough]]
**Strong Bad insists it was Strong Sad who broke the [[TROGDOR!|Trogdor Arcade Machine]], when everyone saw him slam into it after he "had to jump" at the end of the previous episode.
**When one finds the "''Lady Crate Ape''" box cover, Strong Bad remarks he wondered where it went, then immediately claims that it belongs to Strong Sad.
**When Strong Bad calls [[Videlectrix]], the representative pretends to be an automated phone service. Later, when Strong Bad is billed for the new logic board, he pulls the same stunt.
**When obtaining the TrogSword, Strong Bad mentions getting rid of Homestar's pop-up window so he can resume his "make-out sessions". Homestar replies that he doesn't see any make-out sessions in Strong Bad's schedule, just pedicures and bubble baths, which Strong Bad claims are "code for make-out sessions".

*[[Broken Compy Menu]] — When Bubs asks Homestar, who was previously arguing, what he is doing at the stand, Homestar replies that he was talking to nobody, everybody, or [[Strong Mad]].

Despite this, he claims to be playing "[[Not X|Not MS Paint]]". In a later entry, he reveals some fake cheat codes for the game, with some screenshots that have also been sightly edited, but this time using [[Wikipedia: Photoshop|Photoshop]].
*[[The Baloneyman]] — When Homestar can't decide from the Baloneyman's gumball-centred sammich or sammich shaped like a bite taken out of it, Bubs/The Baloneyman holds that it's '''SHAPED''' liked there's a bite taken out of it.

The rule is signed, "the commish (not strong bad)" and is even accompanied by a doodle of Strong Bad's face. Upon seeing this rule, Strong Bad further implicates his authorship by reprimanding the Cheat for not checking their own "Cheater's Almanac." Presumably, this almanac has a record of this rule.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: decemberween</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
What do you want for Decemberween? 
your holiday spirit 
Talon Jendro 
Des Moines, IA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses between "Jen" and "dro", and does not say "Des Moines, Iowa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Where'd you get that name? George Lucas? Ta'lon J'en-dr'o from the computery generated planet of Des' Moi-nes'ia. ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, everybody knows the kind of stuff I want, Ta'lon. A catapult that launches balls of cobras, chainsaw car, subscription to EGM2, hot step-sister. That email writes itself. It's more important that I establish what I ''don't'' want for X-berween. ''{pronounces "X-berween" as "Decemberween"}''

''{cut to "Z' ShopChan" TV shopping channel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Our first item is a perennial all-star of bad awful Decemberween presents: the ornament.

'''MARZIPAN:''' There's no better way to say, "I have no idea what your interests are" than to give someone a present that ceases to be useful the moment it's opened.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, there's nothing like opening a gift just in time to put it in a box in the attic for a year. And next Decemberween when you get it back out, guess what? It's still just a cool snowman surfing the internet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Internet is ''so'' hot this year.

''{A phone rings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, we got a caller. ''{puts an empty hand next to his head}'' Go ahead, caller. How many FR114P-dc8s should I put you down for?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad, did you put wildebeest pheromones in my laundry again?

''{wildebeest noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Auugh!

''{dial tone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another satisfied customer. Next up, we have one of those mechanical dancing musical nobots. The kind that you accidentally activate by getting too close.

'''DANCIN' STRONG BAD MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{heavily distorted voice}'' I'm like come on Fhqwhgads, I said come on Fhqwhgads, Everybody to the limit, The Cheat is to the limit...

''{The nobot's music fades out as we cut back to Strong Bad and Marzipan. Strong Bad is holding his hands over his ears.}''

'''DANCIN' STRONG BAD MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{continuing softly in background}'' ...Everybody come on Fhqwhgads... 
'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Listen to that moldy oldy in glorious drive-thru stereo. ''{A sign reading "Drive-Thru Stereo" appears over her head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who can appreciate the song when all you're really hearing ''{cut back to the nobot}'' are the plastic gears and motors clanking together in an effort to barely bust some sort of move?

''{Cut to a closeup of Marzipan. The nobot now appears in the left pane.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' These things just scream "I stopped at the drug store on my way over".

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Marzipan. Strong Bad is staring at the nobot with swirly eyes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now, on to our next item. Uhh, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, I'm completely entrangled by those ''{cut to extreme closeup of the Nobot}'' hypnotically swaying hips. ''{cut back. Strong Bad shakes his head violently}'' Our last gift items are all about the false notion that just because you made something yourself, it's not a worthless piece of crap.

'''MARZIPAN:''' These sea-shells have office supplies hot-glued to them for absolutely no reason.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and the more globs of hot glue I can see, the quicker I throw it in the trash.

'''MARZIPAN:''' This clothes-pin reindeer ornament is forgettably precious.

''{record scratches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, homemade ''and'' an ornament. That thing is an anti-gift. If someone gives you one of those, you actually have to pay them because it's so poor. Uh, probably because ''they're'' so poor.

''{white noise, cut back to Strong Bad typing on his Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So Ta'lon, my young apprentice, there's my "Please Great Aunt Whoever, Don't Get Me This Stuff For Decemberween" list. I highly suggest you make your own. But if it doesn't work, don't forget to take advantage of all the temporary help that retailers hire this time of year. Those people will refund ANYTHING! Last year, I returned an omelette to a hardware store for nigh on fifty bucks. Well, happy Decemberween everybloody!

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the words "balls of cobras" as Strong Bad types them to see a board game entitled "COBRA-PULT!!"
*Click on the words "chainsaw car" as Strong Bad types them to see the blueprints to a chainsaw car.
*At the end of the email, click on the words "Don't Get Me This" to see a Dancin' [[Homestar Runner]] Musical Nobot that plays the intro tune.

*The Cool Snowman's monitor reads "internet dot com."
*This is the first email that counts as a [[Decemberween]] toon.

===Remarks===
*The calculator glued to the shell reads "04 04 04", which [[Wikipedia:Calculator spelling|upside down]] looks like "[[wikipedia:Santa_Claus#Ho.2C_ho.2C_ho|ho ho ho]]".
*This is a rare instance of Marzipan and Strong Bad coexisting peacefully, even doing something together without conflict.
*The Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot is said to have Drive-Thru [[wikipedia:Stereo|Stereo]] even though only one speaker was visible.
*Strong Bad makes a grammatical error (unusual for him) when he leaves out a comma after "Please" in "Please Great Aunt Whoever".

*A similar "Ding Dong, Dear Strong Bad" was used to start off the email in [[japanese cartoon]].

===Real-World References===
*This email makes several references to [[Wikipedia:George Lucas|George Lucas]] and his ''[[wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' franchise, specifically Episodes 1 through 3 (released between 1999 and 2005):
**Large portions of Episodes 1 through 3 were completely [[Wikipedia:Computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]]. This is likely why Strong Bad mentions a computer-generated planet when addressing Talon.
**When Strong Bad calls Talon "Ta'lon J'en-dr'o", he refers to the many aliens in the ''Star Wars'' universe whose names contain apostrophes and/or hyphens.
**Strong Bad calls Talon "my young apprentice", another reference to ''Star Wars'': [[Wikipedia:Emperor Palpatine|Darth Sidious]] often addresses [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] and later [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] in this way.
*''[[wikipedia:EGM2|EGM²]]'' was a spin-off magazine of the video game magazine ''[[wikipedia:Electronic Gaming Monthly|Electronic Gaming Monthly]]''. It was published until 1998 when it became ''[[wikipedia:Expert Gamer|Expert Gamer]]''.
*Two of the part numbers, WRT54G-Sc and FR114P-dc8, refer to popular networking hardware – the [[wikipedia:WRT54G|Linksys WRT54G]] and the [http://www.netgear.com/Products/VPNandSSL/WiredVPNFirewallRouters/FR114P.aspx NetGear FR114P].
* This email is strongly reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Saki|Saki]]'s short story '[http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2830/2830-h/2830-h.htm Reginald on Christmas Presents]' in which Reginald, an 1890's, campy, British, aristocratic character, mocks all the terrible Christmas presents he has received from relatives.
* Strong Bad shakes his head and makes a noise reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Cheetos|Chester Cheetah]] when he tries to break out of the Nobot's hypnotic spell.
* The opening tune Strong Bad sings as he opens the email is sung to the tune of a refrain from the song "Hunting Tigers Down in India" by the [[Wikipedia:Bonzo Dog Band|Bonzo Dog Band]], a group that became more well known after members later formed the Beatles parody group the [[Wikipedia:Rutles|Rutles]]. The lyrics to the refrain originally were "Dear dear dear no, dear dear dear no, dear dear, oh, dear no."

===Fast Forward===

* The Coach Z 1974 ornament was later seen in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]].

''{Strong Bad says "Dyn-o-MITE!" for the addressee's name, and says "...uh, and the state Boston's in." for MA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You know I've done a lotta thinking on the subject. And yes, Boston, you guessed it, it gimme the jibblies. So in order to watch from a proper, safe distance I made up the...

''{Strong Bad brings up the a> prompt and types '''run hsramerdsxr.exe''' as he keeps talking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...''Homestar Runner and Marzipan Extra Real Dating Sim XR''! ''{the game's title screen appears}'' Using the most state-of-the-art polygoniest technologies, we can see what an actual date with Marzipan and Homestar Runner would be like without the risk of personal injury. Or vomiting. I think it would go a little something...a-like-a-dis-a.

''{Strong Bad dismisses the title screen, and the camera switches to the Compy's monitor. 3D, polygon-heavy images of Marzipan and Homestar Runner stand on the screen with a pixelated backdrop of the standard grassy field. Below the scene, there are words for each character: '''Duh!''', '''Buh!''', '''Fuh!''', and '''???'''. As Strong Bad clicks on the words, the character gains a quote bubble with the appropriate word:}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{on screen}'' DUH!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' FUH! DUH! DUH!

'''MARZIPAN:''' BUH! DUH! FUH! Strong Bad is on point!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' FUH!

''{Strong Bad exits the program.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that gives you a pretty good idea of the lurking horrors. But to really experience it firsthand we'd need to, like, get the Cheat to hide some kinda hidden camera, you know, in, maybe, that marshmallow place they always go to. So, we did. Let's check it out!

''{Cut to a TV labeled "Strong Bad's New Secret Security Camera Monitor." It turns on, and we see a low-quality black and white feed of Homestar Runner and Marzipan sitting at a table. In the background the front door is visible, it has the text "Marshmallow's Last Stand" on it. Marzipan is frowning.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{on screen}'' Okay, okay, okay! Let's play again! What do you think I'll say next? Sid Hoffman, or Sid ''French''man?

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is the dumbest game I've ever played.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, c'mon! You're just being sore because you're losin'.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, I'll go with Sid Hoffman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sid Hoffffff...frenchman! Sorry! You lose again. I said Sid Frenchman.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you said Sid Hoffrenchman. That was not even a choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh, jeez. I don't think I can handle much more of this. Let's see what else we got on the tube.

''{Strong Bad changes the channel to CAM 2. Strong Sad appears on the screen. As he talks, the camera zooms in and smashes him in the face as Strong Mad grunts offscreen. Strong Sad gains lumps on his forehead throughout the ordeal.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{punched}'' Ow! ''{punched}'' Please! ''{punched}'' Quit! ''{punched}'' Punching! ''{punched twice}'' Me-in-the-face! ''{punched five times}'' Since when did you start wearing a class ring?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, beautiful!

'''STRONG SAD:''' With a camera in it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, big bro!

''{Strong Bad changes to CAM 3, a view of Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything seems to be in order in Strongbadi—

''{The Cheat walks into the sight of the camera. He looks around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Perfect timing. Check out my security counter-measures.

''{The Cheat touches the Tire and is instantly electrocuted.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams in Cheat-speak}'' MAAAAHHH! ''{looks miffed}''

''{A cardboard cut-out of a bear holding a shark springs up.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams louder, runs away wide-eyed}'' MAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Muwahaha! Look at the little guy run! The Cheat ''totally'' freaks out whenever he sees a bear holding a shark.

''{Strong Bad switches back to CAM 1. Homestar is now kicking Marzipan in the shins.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan, can you feel that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeahh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What ''is'' that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you're kicking me in the shins.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I think I'd remember something like that.

''{Homestar continues kicking Marzipan as Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys. ''{waves at the screen}'' We also switched Homestar Runner's gourmet coffee with Super Mud!

''{Homestar takes a quick sip of his "coffee" and immediately spits it all into Marzipan's face, while still kicking her in the shins.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho! That's great!

''{View returns to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Marzipan's gotta face fulla super mud and I'm feelin' fine. The Paper, would you bring this fine email to a close?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing}'' I gotta go reset that bear-shark. You guys can play that game if you want.

''{Strong Bad types "a> run hsramerdsxr.exe" and leaves.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Sid Hoffman and Sid Frenchman came from when [[The Brothers Chaps]] were kids, and they were doing a play/game with their friend. The friend kept changing his character's name from Sid Hoffman to Sid Frenchman.
*[[Mike Chapman]] provides the characters' voices in the dating simulation, making them sound very much like their [[Powered by The Cheat]] versions.

===Remarks===
*The [[Compy 386]] seems to have a mouse in this email, though we still never see it.
*The Cheat touches the tire and gets a shock. However, the tire is made of rubber and rubber doesn't conduct electricity.
*Marzipan says that Homestar is kicking her in the "shins", continuing the ongoing debate regarding her physical anatomy.
*At the end of the email, when Strong Bad puts "hsramerdsxr.exe" on the screen, he only presses Enter instead of typing the whole file name in.

===Goofs===
*The Marzipan and Homestar characters in Strong Bad's video game are not rasterized, giving them a much higher resolution than all other elements in the game.
*The table appears to be levitating, as there is no leg in the middle holding it up. One may think that Marzipan's dress is concealing it, but when Homestar kicks Marzipan in the shins her dress moves to the right just enough to show that there is no leg.
*The kicking sound constantly plays during this part, sometimes even when Homestar is not kicking Marzipan.
*There seems to be a space in the word "close". The space is between "c" and "lose" at the end of the e-mail.
*When Strong Mad is punching Strong Sad, the wall dosen't move, as if Strong Sad is going into Strong Mad's fist, rather than Strong Mad punching Strong Sad.

===Glitches===
*You can cheat on the Sid game by clicking the other answer before Homestar says it completely.
*When Marzipan blinks on the closed-circut TV, her eyelids revert to their regular color.
*Originally, if you got 20 points in the Sid game, it would show you a "prize" - an image of Strong Bad on his computer with an "M" on it. It was obviously a glitch, and has since been fixed; the game now continues indefinitely, with no prize or anything.
*If you activate the "Lurking Horrors" Easter egg just before the scene at the television, the sound of the Easter egg will keep playing as Strong Bad turns on the TV.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat touching the [[Tire]] is a reference to the email "[[i rule]]."
*"[[Jibblies]]" is a reference to the e-mail [[your friends]].
*The noise in the lurking horrors Easter egg is the same as the secret eating banner in [[Meet Marshie]].

===Real-World References===
*The bear holding the shark is possibly a reference to the book, ''Bear v. Shark'', by Chris Bachelder. In it there is a discussion of a bear throwing a shark.
*The bear and shark could also be a reference to the ''Space Ghost: Coast to Coast'' episode "Kentucky Nightmare" in which Space Ghost reviews a documentary that he made about bears and sharks.
*The bear holding the shark could possibly be a reference to the Indie band Bear vs. Shark.
*Strong Bad's delivery of the word "Dynomite" is a reference to the popular catchphrase from the '70s TV series [[Wikipedia:Good Times|''Good Times'']].
*Homestar's coffee being replaced is a reference to old [[Wikipedia:Folgers|Folger's]] Crystals commercials, where they would secretly replace a restaurant diner's coffee with Folger's, and see if he could tell the difference.

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Bear holding a Shark]] returns in various toons, and its history is elaborated on in [[myths & legends]].

== DVD Version ==
*To access the Lurking Horrors and [[Super Mud]] Easter eggs, use the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The Dating Sim XR game is disabled for obvious reasons.
*The Sid Hoffman/Sid Frenchman Easter egg is still accessible, though it is now a video clip instead of an interactive game.
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' Here we are again in... commentary with Marzipan— by Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, thanks for inviting me, Mike and Matt.

'''MIKE:''' No problem. ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I guess—I know you haven't asked yet, but in my opinion... I think that this Dynomite person... I think it's really none of his business.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, what goes on on a date?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's between you and Homestar.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I agree, but don't forget, we're acting, you know, Homestar's not really my boyfriend.

'''MIKE:''' ''{amused}'' Really? He just plays your boyfriend on Strong Bad Emails?

'''MATT:''' He doesn't do a very good job of playing your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mm, that's true, but I— I have several other boyfriends.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes, but let— I— ''{becomes quiet}'' I don't want to discuss that subject.

'''MATT:''' Have you ever played this game that Strong Bad made of you guys?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I did play it a couple of times.

'''MIKE:''' ''{indiscernible}''

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That’s pretty good, there. That 3D Marzipan, that’s pretty advanced.

'''MIKE:''' Your voice is pretty good, too.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, uh— again, I’m impressed with the costume design.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You know, that’s me doing the voice, Marzipan, for that game.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That’s Mike—

'''MARZIPAN:''' I was wondering, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —doing your voice.

'''MIKE:''' It sounded just like you, though.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I— Mike, I— I don’t think you’re very good at impersonating me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I’m great at impersonating all the characters.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mike, don’t— please don’t touch me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Marzipan. ''{laughs}'' Do you and Homestar play this game a lot?

'''MARZIPAN:''' We don’t. In— a little bit later here... I had asked for a stunt... woman to be brought in.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, when he’s kicking you, you mean?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' But...

'''MARZIPAN:''' But they didn’t bring one in.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I— I can’t imagine in would be very easy to find a stunt double for you.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Most people don’t have your— you have a unique physique.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, they had wigs, you know. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Is that table just sitting on you guys’ laps? ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was ''extremely'' uncomfortable, I was very unhappy with the production designer.

'''MATT:''' It looks like you’re carryin’ more of the weight, there. Why doesn’t that table have, like, a— s— legs or a stand?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don’t know, they just don’t treat us very well sometimes.

'''MATT:''' Somebody’s not treatin’ Strong Sad very well right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. We’re gonna call the union in eventually.

'''MATT:''' Here’s your— is this one of your real boyfriends? The Cheat?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Umm, I don’t wanna go there, Matt. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohh! ''{laughs}'' Excuse me! What do you think of that bear shark? I think that sha—that thing is kinda cute.

'''MARZIPAN:''' He i— he is attractive.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ow! See? I just can't even watch that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So w— are those really your shins?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, don't tell anybody, but... I don't really have legs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' ''{amused}'' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, yeah, but again, I really don't want to go there.

'''MATT:''' All right. Maybe we shouldn'ta put it on the DVD.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sound of displeasure}'' ''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' You don't seem to be enjoying yourself very much, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, that wasn't mud, it— it was actually chocolate, because that's what I requested, but...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that's good.

'''MATT:''' That's not bad—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —getting squirted in the face with chocolate.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But then when Homestar tried to lick it off at the end of the—

'''MIKE:''' Eww.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Eww, stop.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, it was really gross.

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===

'''MIKE:''' So what do you think of this, Marzipan? ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I— I was thinking we should go out and get some Vietnamese, or Thai, or some kinda Asian lunch, after this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{indiscernible}''

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That sounds good.

'''MIKE:''' I'll do it.

'''MIKE:''' It sounded just like you, though.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I— Mike, I— I don’t think you’re very good at impersonating me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I’m great at impersonating all the characters.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mike, don’t— please don’t touch me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Marzipan. ''{laughs}'' Do you and Homestar play this game a lot?

'''MARZIPAN:''' We don’t. In— a little bit later here... I had asked for a stunt... woman to be brought in.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, when he’s kicking you, you mean?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' But...

'''MARZIPAN:''' But they didn’t bring one in.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I— I can’t imagine in would be very easy to find a stunt double for you.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Most people don’t have your— you have a unique physique.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, they had wigs, you know. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Is that table just sitting on you guys’ laps? ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was ''extremely'' uncomfortable, I was very unhappy with the production designer.

'''MATT:''' It looks like you’re carryin’ more of the weight, there. Why doesn’t that table have, like, a— s— legs or a stand?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don’t know, they just don’t treat us very well sometimes.

'''MATT:''' Somebody’s not treatin’ Strong Sad very well right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. We’re gonna call the union in eventually.

'''MATT:''' Here’s your— is this one of your real boyfriends? The Cheat?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Umm, I don’t wanna go there, Matt. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohh! ''{laughs}'' Excuse me! What do you think of that bear shark? I think that sha—that thing is kinda cute.

'''MARZIPAN:''' He i— he is attractive.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ow! See? I just can't even watch that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So w— are those really your shins?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, don't tell anybody, but... I don't really have legs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' ''{amused}'' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, yeah, but again, I really don't want to go there.

'''MATT:''' All right. Maybe we shouldn'ta put it on the DVD.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sound of displeasure}'' ''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' You don't seem to be enjoying yourself very much, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, that wasn't mud, it— it was actually chocolate, because that's what I requested, but...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that's good.

'''MATT:''' That's not bad—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —getting squirted in the face with chocolate.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But then when Homestar tried to lick it off at the end of the—

'''MIKE:''' Eww.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Eww, stop.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, it was really gross.

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===

'''MIKE:''' So what do you think of this, Marzipan? ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I— I was thinking we should go out and get some Vietnamese, or Thai, or some kinda Asian lunch, after this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{indiscernible}''

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That sounds good.

'''MIKE:''' I'll do it.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mimicking typing noises as he types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tep... ''{hits enter}'' ...tick.

''{reads}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Here's a question for ya. What do 
you think happens when Homestar and 
Marzipan go on a date? 
 
Dynomite 
Boston, MA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Dyn-o-MITE!" for the addressee's name, and says "...uh, and the state Boston's in." for MA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You know I've done a lotta thinking on the subject. And yes, Boston, you guessed it, it gimme the jibblies. So in order to watch from a proper, safe distance I made up the...

''{Strong Bad brings up the a> prompt and types '''run hsramerdsxr.exe''' as he keeps talking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...''Homestar Runner and Marzipan Extra Real Dating Sim XR''! ''{the game's title screen appears}'' Using the most state-of-the-art polygoniest technologies, we can see what an actual date with Marzipan and Homestar Runner would be like without the risk of personal injury. Or vomiting. I think it would go a little something...a-like-a-dis-a.

''{Strong Bad dismisses the title screen, and the camera switches to the Compy's monitor. 3D, polygon-heavy images of Marzipan and Homestar Runner stand on the screen with a pixelated backdrop of the standard grassy field. Below the scene, there are words for each character: '''Duh!''', '''Buh!''', '''Fuh!''', and '''???'''. As Strong Bad clicks on the words, the character gains a quote bubble with the appropriate word:}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{on screen}'' DUH!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' FUH! DUH! DUH!

'''MARZIPAN:''' BUH! DUH! FUH! Strong Bad is on point!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' FUH!

''{Strong Bad exits the program.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that gives you a pretty good idea of the lurking horrors. But to really experience it firsthand we'd need to, like, get the Cheat to hide some kinda hidden camera, you know, in, maybe, that marshmallow place they always go to. So, we did. Let's check it out!

''{Cut to a TV labeled "Strong Bad's New Secret Security Camera Monitor." It turns on, and we see a low-quality black and white feed of Homestar Runner and Marzipan sitting at a table. In the background the front door is visible, it has the text "Marshmallow's Last Stand" on it. Marzipan is frowning.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{on screen}'' Okay, okay, okay! Let's play again! What do you think I'll say next? Sid Hoffman, or Sid ''French''man?

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is the dumbest game I've ever played.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, c'mon! You're just being sore because you're losin'.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, I'll go with Sid Hoffman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sid Hoffffff...frenchman! Sorry! You lose again. I said Sid Frenchman.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you said Sid Hoffrenchman. That was not even a choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh, jeez. I don't think I can handle much more of this. Let's see what else we got on the tube.

''{Strong Bad changes the channel to CAM 2. Strong Sad appears on the screen. As he talks, the camera zooms in and smashes him in the face as Strong Mad grunts offscreen. Strong Sad gains lumps on his forehead throughout the ordeal.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{punched}'' Ow! ''{punched}'' Please! ''{punched}'' Quit! ''{punched}'' Punching! ''{punched twice}'' Me-in-the-face! ''{punched five times}'' Since when did you start wearing a class ring?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, beautiful!

'''STRONG SAD:''' With a camera in it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, big bro!

''{Strong Bad changes to CAM 3, a view of Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything seems to be in order in Strongbadi—

''{The Cheat walks into the sight of the camera. He looks around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Perfect timing. Check out my security counter-measures.

''{The Cheat touches the Tire and is instantly electrocuted.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams in Cheat-speak}'' MAAAAHHH! ''{looks miffed}''

''{A cardboard cut-out of a bear holding a shark springs up.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams louder, runs away wide-eyed}'' MAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Muwahaha! Look at the little guy run! The Cheat ''totally'' freaks out whenever he sees a bear holding a shark.

''{Strong Bad switches back to CAM 1. Homestar is now kicking Marzipan in the shins.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan, can you feel that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeahh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What ''is'' that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you're kicking me in the shins.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I think I'd remember something like that.

''{Homestar continues kicking Marzipan as Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys. ''{waves at the screen}'' We also switched Homestar Runner's gourmet coffee with Super Mud!

''{Homestar takes a quick sip of his "coffee" and immediately spits it all into Marzipan's face, while still kicking her in the shins.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho! That's great!

''{View returns to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Marzipan's gotta face fulla super mud and I'm feelin' fine. The Paper, would you bring this fine email to a close?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing}'' I gotta go reset that bear-shark. You guys can play that game if you want.

''{Strong Bad types "a> run hsramerdsxr.exe" and leaves.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Sid Hoffman and Sid Frenchman came from when [[The Brothers Chaps]] were kids, and they were doing a play/game with their friend. The friend kept changing his character's name from Sid Hoffman to Sid Frenchman.
*[[Mike Chapman]] provides the characters' voices in the dating simulation, making them sound very much like their [[Powered by The Cheat]] versions.

===Remarks===
*The [[Compy 386]] seems to have a mouse in this email, though we still never see it.
*The Cheat touches the tire and gets a shock. However, the tire is made of rubber and rubber doesn't conduct electricity.
**It is, however, possible that Strong Bad could have switched the rubber tire with a tire made of a material that does conduct electricity.
*Marzipan says that Homestar is kicking her in the "shins", continuing the ongoing debate regarding her physical anatomy.

===Goofs===
*The Marzipan and Homestar characters in Strong Bad's video game are not rasterized, giving them a much higher resolution than all other elements in the game.
*The table appears to be levitating, as there is no leg in the middle holding it up. One may think that Marzipan's dress is concealing it, but when Homestar kicks Marzipan in the shins her dress moves to the right just enough to show that there is no leg.
*The kicking sound constantly plays during this part, sometimes even when Homestar is not kicking Marzipan.
*There seems to be a space in the word "close". The space is between "c" and "lose" at the end of the e-mail.
*When Strong Mad is punching Strong Sad, the wall dosen't move, as if Strong Sad is going into Strong Mad's fist, rather than Strong Mad punching Strong Sad.

===Glitches===
*You can cheat on the Sid game by clicking the other answer before Homestar says it completely.
*When Marzipan blinks on the closed-circut TV, her eyelids revert to their regular color.
*Originally, if you got 20 points in the Sid game, it would show you a "prize" - an image of Strong Bad on his computer with an "M" on it. It was obviously a glitch, and has since been fixed; the game now continues indefinitely, with no prize or anything.
*If you activate the "Lurking Horrors" Easter egg just before the scene at the television, the sound of the Easter egg will keep playing as Strong Bad turns on the TV.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat touching the [[Tire]] is a reference to the email "[[i rule]]."
*"[[Jibblies]]" is a reference to the e-mail [[your friends]].
*The noise in the lurking horrors Easter egg is the same as the secret eating banner in [[Meet Marshie]].

===Real-World References===
*The bear holding the shark is possibly a reference to the book, ''Bear v. Shark'', by Chris Bachelder. In it there is a discussion of a bear throwing a shark.
*The bear and shark could also be a reference to the ''Space Ghost: Coast to Coast'' episode "Kentucky Nightmare" in which Space Ghost reviews a documentary that he made about bears and sharks.
*The bear holding the shark could possibly be a reference to the Indie band Bear vs. Shark.
*Strong Bad's delivery of the word "Dynomite" is a reference to the popular catchphrase from the '70s TV series [[Wikipedia:Good Times|''Good Times'']].
*Homestar's coffee being replaced is a reference to old [[Wikipedia:Folgers|Folger's]] Crystals commercials, where they would secretly replace a restaurant diner's coffee with Folger's, and see if he could tell the difference.

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Bear holding a Shark]] returns in various toons, and its history is elaborated on in [[myths & legends]].

== DVD Version ==
*To access the Lurking Horrors and [[Super Mud]] Easter eggs, use the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The Dating Sim XR game is disabled for obvious reasons.
*The Sid Hoffman/Sid Frenchman Easter egg is still accessible, though it is now a video clip instead of an interactive game.
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' Here we are again in... commentary with Marzipan— by Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, thanks for inviting me, Mike and Matt.

'''MIKE:''' No problem. ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I guess—I know you haven't asked yet, but in my opinion... I think that this Dynomite person... I think it's really none of his business.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, what goes on on a date?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's between you and Homestar.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I agree, but don't forget, we're acting, you know, Homestar's not really my boyfriend.

'''MIKE:''' ''{amused}'' Really? He just plays your boyfriend on Strong Bad Emails?

'''MATT:''' He doesn't do a very good job of playing your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mm, that's true, but I— I have several other boyfriends.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes, but let— I— ''{becomes quiet}'' I don't want to discuss that subject.

'''MATT:''' Have you ever played this game that Strong Bad made of you guys?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I did play it a couple of times.

'''MIKE:''' ''{indiscernible}''

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That’s pretty good, there. That 3D Marzipan, that’s pretty advanced.

'''MIKE:''' Your voice is pretty good, too.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, uh— again, I’m impressed with the costume design.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You know, that’s me doing the voice, Marzipan, for that game.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That’s Mike—

'''MARZIPAN:''' I was wondering, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —doing your voice.

'''MIKE:''' It sounded just like you, though.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I— Mike, I— I don’t think you’re very good at impersonating me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I’m great at impersonating all the characters.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mike, don’t— please don’t touch me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Marzipan. ''{laughs}'' Do you and Homestar play this game a lot?

'''MARZIPAN:''' We don’t. In— a little bit later here... I had asked for a stunt... woman to be brought in.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, when he’s kicking you, you mean?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' But...

'''MARZIPAN:''' But they didn’t bring one in.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I— I can’t imagine in would be very easy to find a stunt double for you.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Most people don’t have your— you have a unique physique.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, they had wigs, you know. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Is that table just sitting on you guys’ laps? ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was ''extremely'' uncomfortable, I was very unhappy with the production designer.

'''MATT:''' It looks like you’re carryin’ more of the weight, there. Why doesn’t that table have, like, a— s— legs or a stand?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don’t know, they just don’t treat us very well sometimes.

'''MATT:''' Somebody’s not treatin’ Strong Sad very well right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. We’re gonna call the union in eventually.

'''MATT:''' Here’s your— is this one of your real boyfriends? The Cheat?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Umm, I don’t wanna go there, Matt. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohh! ''{laughs}'' Excuse me! What do you think of that bear shark? I think that sha—that thing is kinda cute.

'''MARZIPAN:''' He i— he is attractive.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ow! See? I just can't even watch that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So w— are those really your shins?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, don't tell anybody, but... I don't really have legs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' ''{amused}'' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, yeah, but again, I really don't want to go there.

'''MATT:''' All right. Maybe we shouldn'ta put it on the DVD.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sound of displeasure}'' ''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' You don't seem to be enjoying yourself very much, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, that wasn't mud, it— it was actually chocolate, because that's what I requested, but...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that's good.

'''MATT:''' That's not bad—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —getting squirted in the face with chocolate.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But then when Homestar tried to lick it off at the end of the—

'''MIKE:''' Eww.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Eww, stop.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, it was really gross.

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===

'''MIKE:''' So what do you think of this, Marzipan? ''{laughs}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I— I was thinking we should go out and get some Vietnamese, or Thai, or some kinda Asian lunch, after this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{indiscernible}''

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That sounds good.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just got...

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey... Bunmuffin... It's Deli...lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh...

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot's stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the ever-loving style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress and her hair is now curled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our ''chaperon!'' ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breaths is ''terbirle''!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands, David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. He is apparently the only one at the prom wearing pants. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me! I'm the only one that wears any pants?!

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom! ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{Cut to an excited Marzipan}'' And your Prom Queen is... Strong Bad ''{Marzipan looks bewildered}'' with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced), chiefly in the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]]. Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show|thumb|right]]
*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon" and the HTML file "sbemail151.html" does not exist.
**The email was [[Main Page Messages|announced on the main page]] as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
**Later in the week, the button was changed to "Strong Bad Email"
*The label on the disk in the Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]] six years ago.
*The Strong Sadstronaut was previously seen in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].
*[[Nebulon]] appears as one of the decorations at the dance.
*[[The Moon]] on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
*The band performing is titled "''All'' the King's Men". However, [[The Little Chef Guy]] and [[The Bishop]], who first appear with the rest of the king's men in [[The King of Town DVD]], are notably absent from the band.
*In this email, Strong Bad's imaginary girlfriend's name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following [[Quote of the Week]], it was spelled "Delelilia".

===Goofs===
*When the scene is focused on Strong Sad and Coach Z, it can be seen that the table is on the blue mat. However in the following far shot, it is on the wood.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the e-mail first came out, right before Marzipan says "That is unmistakably Coach Z", her eyes showed up where her mouth should have been.

===Glitches===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.

[[Image:SharkToothBubs_DVD.JPG|thumb|"Hey, everybody. My name, Shark-Tooth Bubs"]]

'''Shark-Tooth Bubs''' is a [[Bubs]] plush doll prototype, made in a toy factory in [[Wikipedia:China|China]]. In the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|DVD]] commentary for the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[theme park#Commentary_Transcript|theme park]]" and the [[NYU_Talk_-_1_Mar_2005|NYU Talk]], we learn that the factory misinterpreted the eyes, teeth, and just about everything else. More specifically, he has two small eyes, a horn in his forehead with a ring around it (vaguely resembling the "real" Bubs' larger eye), and sharp shark-like teeth in a symmetrical mouth. Shark-Tooth Bubs appears in the hidden bonus video [[Puppets on the Road]] on [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Disc Four]] of the [[strongbad_email.exe|strongbad_email.exe DVD]]. The voice of this plush doll is provided by [[Mike Chapman]] in a similar fashion to his impression of Bubs in [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just got...

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey... Bunmuffin... It's Deli...lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh...

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot's stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the ever-loving style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress and her hair is now curled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our ''chaperon!'' ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breaths is ''terbirle''!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands, David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. He is apparently the only one at the prom wearing pants. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me! I'm the only one that wears any pants?!

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom! ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{Cut to an excited Marzipan}'' And your Prom Queen is... Strong Bad ''{Marzipan looks bewildered}'' with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part, was that I got a twenty-dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just got...

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey... Bunmuffin... It's Deli...lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh...

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot's stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the ever-loving style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress and her hair is now curled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our ''chaperon!'' ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breaths is ''terbirle''!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands, David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. He is apparently the only one at the prom wearing pants. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me! I'm the only one that wears any pants?!

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom! ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{Cut to an excited Marzipan}'' And your Prom Queen is... Strong Bad ''{Marzipan looks bewildered}'' with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part, was that I got a twenty-dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced), chiefly in the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]]. Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show|thumb|right]]
*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon" and the HTML file "sbemail151.html" does not exist.
**The email was [[Main Page Messages|announced on the main page]] as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
**Later in the week, the button was changed to "Strong Bad Email"
*The label on the disk in the Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]] six years ago.
*The Strong Sadstronaut was previously seen in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].
*[[Nebulon]] appears as one of the decorations at the dance.
*[[The Moon]] on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
*The band performing is titled "''All'' the King's Men". However, [[The Little Chef Guy]] and [[The Bishop]], who first appear with the rest of the king's men in [[The King of Town DVD]], are notably absent from the band.
*In this email, Strong Bad's imaginary girlfriend's name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following [[Quote of the Week]], it was spelled "Delelilia".

===Goofs===
*When the scene is focused on Strong Sad and Coach Z, it can be seen that the table is on the blue mat. However in the following far shot, it is on the wood.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the e-mail first came out, right before Marzipan says "That is unmistakably Coach Z", her eyes showed up where her mouth should have been.

===Glitches===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.
