codeman38: ...and I forgot to sign my comment...

"20X6 Homestar getting a green nosebleed is a nod to the Anime clich� that excited or aroused people get nosebleeds or "hanaji"." - unlikely. The nosebleed in anime is always a metaphor for premature ejaculation. However, (as far as I know) in Japan it is considered rude to blow one's nose, and sniffing is considered more polite (the opposite of how things are in most western countries). The result is you end up with lots of people with runny noses, and it crops up from time to time in anime as well.
- SoulSkorpion (soulskorpionATiinetDOTnetDOTau)

Likewise, given how busy the Brothers Chaps are these days, I doubt very much that they watch Naruto. Actually, "tenten" is a generic Japanese expression for dots, such as the two-dot mark that denotes a modified form of some of the phonetic characters (katakana and hiragana) in Japanese, turning "ha" into "ba", "chi" into "ji", etc. Evidently it is also popular as a nickname...

Maybe it's just me, but the music in the ending credits is awfully reminiscent of the first-season opening theme for ''Ranma 1/2''. --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:06, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Checkin' email and take it to the flipside! !edispilf eht ot ti ekat dna liame 'nikcehC

<pre>
subject: rock opera

Strong Bad,
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You
simply owe it to society. What should it be about?
That's up to you.
Best Wishes,
Anonymous Contributor
Gambier, OH
</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Contributor" as "ContribuTOR" and "OH" as "hhhough"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityyyy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply entitled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train-wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera}''

''{The screen fades to black and the SBEMAIL! poster slides down from the top of the screen. Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad is clapping and making crowd noises with his mouth while roses are being thrown on him from off camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bravo! Encore! Encore! Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba! ''{typing}'' Thank you! Thank you! The rave reviews are already pouring in! It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws his rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! ''{clutches his face, starts flailing his limbs wildly}'' Rose face! ROSE FACE!!! ''{falls off his stool}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where the Paper comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click ''rave reviews'' to see some reviews of Sbemail:
**"SBEMAIL! Is a Triumph of Some Sort!!!" "It will leave you you wanting MORE, MORE, MORE!" -(Perhaps)The Deke
**"A million stars!!!" -Age 7
**"SBEMAIL! is better than a goat!!" - The biscuitdoughhandsman Review

* Click ''Pouring in'' to see a poster for SBEMAIL!
:"an off13 broadway rock opera from the man who brought you 'dangeresque: put em on ice!'"
*While on the poster, click 'Dangereresque: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
::''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
::'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum-
::''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice}''
* Click the invisible ''Encore'' on the bottom-right of the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] screen to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
* This is the first time where we see Strong Bad's whole body walking by a straight-on view.
* This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom-Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
* Each quote is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and so forth.

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
* The Poopsmith, Bubs and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.

=== Goofs ===
* You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
* When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy screen.
* When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
* Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's torso and his head; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the torso.

=== Inside References ===
* The shoes that walk across the screen are the back button of the old main page.
**The shoes were also used as a back button in the first Homestar Runner game where you had to play the "She loves me/not" game. It also introduced Marzipan.
* On the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, Anonymous has his hands glued to his butt, which also happened to Strong Sad in the e-mail [[1 step ahead]].
**Also, the drawing of Anonymous has two toenails, much like Strong Sad.
* Also on the second piece-of-paper, Strong Bad's legs are positioned like those of [[Wrestleman]] from the Weekly [[Sketchbook]].
* The [[Teen Girl Squad]] character Tompkins can be found on the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, in his miniaturized form from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
* When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad E-mail [[secret recipes]].
**"Teh" is also a leetspeak word for "The".
* When Strong Bad appears to have two electric guitars sticking out of his head, it's a reference to the cover art for the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
* Strong Bad sitting in the chair swirling the wine in the cup is modeled after a similar scene from the Powered-by-the-Cheat music video [[Everybody to the Limit]].
**Strong Bad also swirls his wine in [[montage]].
* The action figures of Strong Sad and Strong Bad are from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
* The pants Coach Z temporarily don seem to be modeled after [[Rather Dashing]]'s short pants.
* The background of the area with the pyramid of gold bars (pre-explosion) is taken directly from [[RhinoFeeder]].
* The "Goodtime Palace" is modeled after similar scenes from [[animal]] and even features [[Baby Styles]].
**Also, the normal "black frame" around the screen changes to the Cheat's poorly drawn frame from his "[[Powered by the Cheat]]" Cartoons.
* The picture of the "Hardest Guitar Chord Ever" comes from [[privileges]].
* The jogging pixellated Strong Bad is originally from [[montage]].
* [[Club Technochocolate]] is originally from [[extra plug]].
** But just the word "technochocolate" comes from [[monument]].
* The rock music which starts at Club Technochocolate is based on ''The Cheat Is Not Dead'' from [[caper]].
* [[The Stage|The stage]] the entire cast is grouped on at the end is the same stage from [[A Decemberween Pageant]], among other holiday toons.
* The "biscuitdoughhandsman review" in the Easter Egg is yet another reference to everyone's favorite unapprehended villain, [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]].
* "[[The Deke]]" is originally from [[autobiography]].
* Strong Bad's dance move with Baby Styles is a reference to [[virus]] when he compliments Bubs for being a computer genius man.
* "Sbemail" is a reference to the filename of every Strong Bad e-mail. Strong Bad also refers to this in [[unused emails]]
*This isn't the first time Strong Bad has spoken backwards, he also does it on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
* The guitars featured in the email are the same as in the easter egg in the email [[new hands]].

=== Real-World References ===
* Strong Bad's "Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!" at the end is quoting the famous Warner Bros. cartoon mouse Speedy Gonzales, except backwards as Speedy usually says "Arriba! Arriba! Andale! Andale!"
* The electric guitars in the opera are (or are modeled after) Gibson Flying Vs.
* The amps are modeled after Marshall stacks, but instead of "Marshall," the logo reads "An Amp". These were also used in [[different town]], but labeled "Marzipan".
*Sbemail, in containing multiple sections of different styles, is remiscent of rock operettas, including The Who's "A Quick One, While He's Away" and (more famously) Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
*Strong Bad's rap at the beginning of the e-mail may be a reference to Missy Elliott's "Work It," where she says "I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup I!"
*Strong Bad walking towards the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie cliche when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').

Tom Ridge's replacement in the 2004 US Cabinet is named Bernard '''Kerik'''. I expect to see a lot of punny references to this from Homestar fans before too long. --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 18:29, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

codeman38: Lappytosh

Strong Bad's up-to-date email program looks suspiciously like PINE (PINE Is Not Elm). PINE is one of the older old-school email clients on UNIX networks such as university shell accounts.

-- The official acronym for PINE is Program for Internet News and Email.

== Contrast ==

Do you think that perhaps the contrast knob will be added to the Lappy later on? I mean, maybe they just forgot to put it in. In any case, I liked the contrast thing (although the LCD liquid effect is pretty dang cool).

*Probably not. Most laptops I've seen don't have contrast knobs (though my knowledge of ancient laptops is pretty non-existant). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:00, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**I have an ancient laptop... probably closer to a Lappy 286 than a Lappy 486. It has no contrast, but it does have brightness which would basically just make the backlight brighter or darker. Even at its brightest, it's nowhere near bright enough unless all the lights are out. So theoretically this could be added, but I have a feeling they're gonna leave it as just the LCD effect. --[[User:jtickle|jtickle]] 23:45, 29 Nov 204 (EST)

== OS Inspiration ==

I know I can't be the only one to see parallels between the Lappy 486's logo and that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8]. Even the startup sound seems rather Mac-inspired. --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:56, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

HRWiki:Old STUFF

codeman38 — Tue, 30 Nov 2004 04:51:05 GMT

codeman38: /* animal */

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's notable, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you. The name you sign must match the name in the edit history of this page. That is, you may not sign your vote with a name other than the account you're using, even if you own both of them.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

=== [[animal]] ===

==== Finding Nemo ====

Deep-sea fangly fish, looks like the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo.

*'''Decline.''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/Anglerfish Anglerfish] are by no means exclusive to Finding Nemo. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' - [[User:SailorMarzipan|SailorHippyGirl]]
*'''Revise & Accept''' change "the fish that first attacks Marlin in Finding Nemo" to "an [http://en.wikipedia.org/Anglerfish Anglerfish]" and this could be ok! --[[User:Tiggera|Tiggera, who hasn't seen the page yet.]]

==== Second Wall Breaking ====
This is yet another e-mail when Strong Bad seems to know he's being watched by people in the line "goodbye everybody"

*'''Decline.''' I think that fourth wall breakage should be listed on its own seperate page at this point, as it's been done so much. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:42, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
*''Decline.''' I made a new [[Fourth Wall Breaks]] page for this sort of thing. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline''' A lot (if not all) of the emails give me the impression that Strong Bad knows he's being watched. Therefore, this fact isn't interesting to me. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== Soolnd ====

The Pardack has one of Strong Sad's legs as one of its arms

*'''Decline.''' Has been noted in transcript, is obvious to anyone watching the email. --[[user:Vannav|Vannav]]

==== LCD Screen ====

When you click on the screen of the Lappy, it goes all "wavy", like on a normal labtop.

*'''Decline''' Already been noted --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*'''Decline (but move)''' It's a feature of the Lappy, not directly due to this email. Move it to the Lappy page. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== Ridiculous ====

The statement that Strong Bad says "{The Cheat} uses NO computers!" is incorrect, since the Cheat animated the Fangly fish animation with his [Tangerine Dreams] computer

*'''Decline''' With something like this, I'm sure no one will mind if I just delete it, right? I'm just going to do that from here on in. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]

==== Christmas Lights ====

The fangly fish having Christmas lights is one of the few H*R references to Christmas. It is more often referred to as Decemberween.
*'''Accept''' Wow I just realized that. You are correct sir!
**Please sign with <nowiki>--~~~</nowiki>; it's really easy. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
*'''Decline''' Decemberween isn't really Christmas; they just happen to be similar. Also, referring to "Christmas lights" doesn't seem like a direct reference to Christmas; blue and white "Christmas lights" aren't often called "Hannukah lights." --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== Subject Line, etc. ====

This is the first email in which we are shown the subject line. Also, this is the first email to have all the functions of a real email program (reply button, forward button, subject display), except for [[weird dream]].

*'''Decline''' Probably just a new feature of the Lappy, so the fact that this is the first email on the Lappy would cover it. Plus, email programs like those used in UNIX (i.e. <tt>mail</tt>) have all of the reply-like functions, but not on screen. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]
**Actually, I frequently hear white or blue & white lights being referred to as Hannukah lights. Usually, however, these lights are called "holiday lights," seeing as how they are used for just about every winter holiday now. -- [[User:FireLily|FireLily]]

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====

The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

=== [[virus]] ===
==== Strong Sad's face ====
[[Strong Sad]]'s face is a reference to current mood icons that are used in blogs such as [http://www.livejournal.com livejournal.com]. He uses these kinds of icons on his [[Strong Sad's Lament]] page.

*'''Decline.''' Isn't this already noted in the transcript? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 09:53, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*'''Decline.''' I should know this was noted in the transcript because I was the one who wrote it up and put it in there. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 13:32, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Not much of a reference, more like an occurance. Agree that this is noted in the transcript. [[HRWiki:Once_And_Only_Once|Once and Only Once]] issue. Reason: Duplicate information. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]]
**'''Second.''' -[[User:Dark Grapefruit|DG]] 22:23, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)
**'''Second.''' OAOO. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 12:16, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I didn't notice this. - [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**On the other hand, perhaps you should have. ;) The general rule is if it's in the transcript, it shouldn't be noted again unless there's additional information to note. In this case, there isn't. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:12, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Some people may not even know what Strong Sad's journal is. [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]|[[User_talk:Hobophobic|talk]]
*'''Decline.''' Blatently obvious. - [[User:J to the Sag|J to the Sag]]
**'''Second.''' Not to be offensive, but any visitor with a brain and at least SOME Homestarrunner.com knowledge would know. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]

==== One flash file ====
The navigation and the email are combined into one flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words).

*'''Modify and keep.''' This is a depart from the normal for The Brothers Chaps but could use a re-wording.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep.''' I don't really know if it needs modifying, but it definitely should be kept, as TBC have never done it before. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Keep''' -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Breaking the fourth wall ====
This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails in which they do this are "[[flashback]]" (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black"), "[[for kids]]" where Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails, "[[the process]]" (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home), "[[huttah!]]", where The Cheat actually watches the e-mail on his own computer, and "[[extra plug]]" (the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished).

*'''Trim and redirect'''. This sounds very well put together, but it's a bit much for a fun fact. It sounds like it could use a page of its own which could then be linked to from a much smaller fun fact.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:40, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)
*'''Modify, keep''' I'm not entirely sure it should be redirected to a seperate page, but it definitely needs to be cut down, as it's a whole paragraph. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:06, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== No Homestar, Pom Pom, etc. ====
This one sorta goes without saying, but this is the only 'toon in the full-length section that does not feature some form of Homestar or (believe it or not) Pom-Pom, and the only one besides [[The King of Town DVD]] that does not feature any of the three Brothers Strong or Marzipan.

*'''Decline:''' I don't think that this is entirely relevant. Sure, Homestar did hold his breath on the Yearbook Characters Page, but that isn't really connected to him holding his breath in Fair-stival.

==== Creeping Death ====
The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.

*'''Accept/Rewrite:''' I can buy that this is a ref. to Metallica because TBC have other Metallica refs (see [[Carol]]). Also Creeping Death (caps) and silent auction (lower case) make sence together.-[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Fuzzy]]

==== WEAR FLIP FLOPS. ====
In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.

==== Strong Mad's laugh ====
Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.

*'''Decline:''' So, they changed his laugh. -[[User:Your_Fuzzy_God|Fuzzy]]

*'''Abstain/Explanation:''' Since I'm the one who wrote that, it's not fair for me to vote, but I want to at least explain why I thought it to be relevant.

Sightings

codeman38: /* ''zone38'' */ I didn't make 'em, I just mirrored them

Homestar is slowly taking over the world. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the sightings we've seen so far. If you have any that aren't here, please add them. If you have a picture for a sighting that does not have one already, please feel free to load it up.

Of course, we politely ask that you do not hotlink to images, especially ones that do not belong to you. Just a simple link to the image will do. Also, this will insure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

== TELEVISION ==

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a Homestar Runner game, he isn't done with it though. He's only been able to make homestar walk around so far.

===''The Geek Show''===
On [http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show], [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "Whats funny on the internet"

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'] one of the hosts, Dave, appeared in one episode wearing a [[Trogdor]] shirt.

===''Squirt TV''===
In New Zealand there is a show called Squirt and each week they have a featured website (the "Hot Spot"). One week it was...you guessed it...Homestarrunner.com. They talked about it for awhile and then switched on to some other crap they play on the show. Its a really dumb show and I just happened to be watching it then. -Spud 'Reinforced Steel' O'Connor
=== ''Buffy'' ===
Buffy the Vampire Slayer referenced Trogdor as a villain in a game of Dungeons and Dragons.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Duece by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Angel'' ===
In an episode of "Angel" entitled "The Girl In Question", (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They come to the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal", and he was wearing a Black STRONGBAD T-Shirt! He was also wearing it as he had a pore strip on later on in the episode. It was season 5. Written by: Steven S. !DeKnight and Drew Goddard. Directed by: David Greenwalt.

=== ''Monster House'' ===
In an Episode of Monster House, the Host, Steve is wearing a Strong Bad T-shirt during the introductions. The episode is [http://www.tvtome.com/MonsterHouse/season1.html#ep18 Sports House] which first aired February 2, 2004.

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the brothers chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the homestarrunner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the videlectrix owner was just one of the brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real. (I don't know if you can find any of this episode on the internet but I did record it, but I don't know how I would be able to put it on the internet. Contact me at corneli23@hotmail.com if you want to)

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a random name generator on a game and if you made names long enough, Homsar would show up. The host said his name wrong though.
Then a giant alien monster from no where came up to Morgan Webb, adn ate her. Then Adamn new it was up to him to avenge her. So he grabbed a lamp, and swung it at the monster, just barely missing. Then the monster devoured him aslo. I believe that will be the last episode ever of CHEAT.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

== RADIO ==
=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 Here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool|StrongBadEmail/kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end. Of note: a kid, Simon, calls at 12:20 and asks about [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Sounds like these guys could have used a visit to the [[Main Page|Homestar Runner Wiki]]...

== ADVERTISING ==

A Soap Box racing commercial on Cartoon Network decorated a car with Teen Girl Squad.

=== ''SMS Advert'' ===
On a picture messaging advertisement in NZ/Aus, while it flicks through various picture messages/cellphone wallpapers, a picture of Trogdor pops up.

This article also mentioned the upcoming DVDs.

Of particular note was the corroboration that a special [[Experimental Film]] video was being made for MTV. However, a new develpment is that the current internet version "is getting played on MTV in England, so it is finding some legitimate video life."

== BANDS AND MUSIC ==
=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts. They also showed [[Everybody to the Limit]] and it had a special new introduction wherein Strong Bad complained that he wasn't allowed on stage even though he had been the #1 hit for two summers in a row.

I didn't realize until it was over that it was from H*R but the part I know they did was "Please keep your arms legs and valuables inside the vehicle at all times".

codeman38: Category: Sweet Cuppin' Cakes

== Screenshot ==
http://img30.exs.cx/img30/6707/cuppincakes.png

== Summary ==
The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes gang do their usual crazy things. This time on Decemberween.

'''Features: [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Cowcopter]], [[The Worm]], [[The Wheelchair]], [[Eh! Steve]], [[Keyboard Strong Bad]], [[Prime Time]]'''

== Transcript ==
''{A title saying: Cactus Coffee and the No Tell Motel appears and then is flooded by coffee, then shifts to a scene with Cowcopter and The Worm.}''

'''COWCOPTER:''' ''{mumbling}''

'''THE WORM:''' Up, down... Up, down... Up... (sounds like "wuhh, yah")

''{Cowcopter jumps up, then bites The Worm and starts pulling.}''

'''COWCOPTER:''' ''{grunting}''

''{Cowcopter pulls out a pot that flips end-over-end and lands on top of him. The Wheelchair appears and pops the lid off the pot.}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' Mmm! Mm! Burled holiday cabbage!

''{Eh! Steve slowly rises out of pot, covered in Christmas tree balls.}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' Eh! Steve, get your sassy-frass out my burled holiday cabbage!

''{Eh! Steve jumps into the air, and the scene freezes. His mouth starts shining, and rises into the air.}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

''{Gothic blackletter reading "EH! STEVE!" appears and drifts back down towards Earth.}''

'''THE WORM:''' ''{cartoonish Italian accent}'' Is a miracle.

''{Words "IS A MIRACLE" appear.}''

''{Keyboard Strong Bad pops into existence and plays Jingle Bells. Everyone starts dancing.}''

''{Cut to a scene of Strong Mad's "Prime Time" 'brow style dancing. Then cut to Strong Bad and Homestar at Homestar's house watching the show on TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... didn't I invent this cartoon?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, I think so.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how come I can't understand a lick of it?

'''HOMESTAR:''' What's not to understand?

''{Strong Bad turns to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Eh! Steve's mouth exploded the universe, and that blonde guy did a tiny, tiny dance.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastic}'' Oh, right. The true meaning of Decemberween.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, yeah, right, right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pff! Whatever! I'ma go "re-nog."

''{Strong Bad holds up a half-empty glass of eggnog and leaves the room. The scene dims, the back button appears and after a few seconds...}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Will you turn the lights on when you come back in?

== Easter Eggs ==
*Wait at the end for Homestar to say "Will you turn the lights back on when you come back in?"

== Fun Facts ==
*The tune [[Keyboard Strong Bad]] plays is impossible to play on a real Casio VL-1 (the keyboard his head is modeled on). The Casio VL-1 is monophonic, meaning only one note at a time can be played.
**Are you sure about this? I think that tune might be one of the Demo tunes on the Casio VL-1. I realize it can't be played on the keyboard, but I think it CAN be played by pushing the right demo button.
***I have the keyboard. There's only one demo tune and it ''can'' be played without pressing the button. (The percussive bleeps and bloops are preprogrammed rhythms which can be played along with a melody, but that melody can't have any other accompaniment or chords or anything.)
****I think it's a Kawasaki keyboard. Because I used to have a Kawasaki keyboard that played "Jingle Bells" as the demo.-DaChazman
***That might be where the music comes from, but the keyboard for his head is clearly a Casio VL-1. It looks almost exactly like the real thing, and both the demo tune from [[crazy cartoon]] and the percussion rhythm from the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes main page are from the Casio VL-1. So the music doesn't match the keyboard.
*The little blonde dancing guy at the end is from [[haircut]], when Strong Bad was making eyebrow styles.
**His name is Eh! Greg! and he does a tiny, tiny dance.
***No, his name is Prime Time.
****"Ready for Prime Time" is just the name of the hairstyle. After Strong Mad says "Sweetie Cakes!", Strong Bad labels him as "Eh! Greg!"
*****The little blonde dancing guy's name can either be "Ready for Prime Time" or "Prime Time" or something until the TBC makes another Sweet Cuppin' Cakes short and give it a official name. It's not "Eh! Greg!" because Strong Bad only drew an "Eh! Steve!"-like character next to Prime Time and labeled it "Eh! Greg!"
******Actually he is referred to as "That little blonde guy" by Homestar so that could be his name...
*Can anyone tell if the stars scrolling up spell out anything, or if they're just stars?
**No words. Just random dots.

''(A guy in a Hawaiian shirt appears playing a ukelele, and a large pile of babies appears behind Whats-her-face, about to fall on her.)''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD (Singing):''' Wave o' babies.

''(cut to inside the lion. Cheerleader is upside-down.)''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Yo, this lion's innards are looking...

'''CHEERLEADER, SO-AND-SO, and THE UGLY ONE:''' SO GOOD!

'''SO-AND-SO:''' Here I got you this present. ''(hands a present to Cheerleader, who opens it.)''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh, a giftcard for fashion, how did you know?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I got you this half digested gazelle carcass.

'''CHEERLEADER, SO-AND-SO, and THE UGLY ONE:''' GAZELLE CARCASS!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' It's over!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click the O at the end in "It's Over!" for a small short with [[What's Her Face]] playing a game of Marco Polo with [[Cheerleader]]. Also, two babies (presumably from the Wave o' babies) are clinging to her.

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the only issue of TGS with The Man with the Big Mouth to have his mouth closed.
*This is the shortest issue of Teen Girl Squad so far.
*In the opening, it's the only time Cheerleader doesn't have something written on her dress.
*This is the only issue of TGS so far where nobody gets killed... even though hanging out inside a lion is probably detrimental to your health in the long run.

== Summary ==
Puppet Homestar receives a present.

== Transcript ==
''{A green title screen with yellow words appears, saying Homestar and the Nice Present. The scene switches to Puppet Homestar wearing a Santa hat, in a standing in a snowy background in front of a present wrapped in red paper.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh wow, a present!

''{He jumps onto the present, tearing off the wrapping paper. We then see Homestar close up.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' (disappointed) Oh. ''{We see a little Santa Claus figure}'' A little Santamen. Booooo!!

''{We see the Santa figure dancing in front of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' (sarcastically) What a blast. Boy, we're having fun now.

''{The scene switches to Homestar making kung-fu poses and noises in front of the Santa figure. Then, the scene switches to Homestar lying down}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Aww... GET FUN!

''{The scene switches to Homestar standing next to the Santa figure, as it slowly moves along}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, wanna race? Ready... GO! ''{runs past the figure with little competition}''

''{The scene switches back to Homestar lying down in front of the Santa figure}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' So then Marzipan says I'm projecting my problems.

''{Once again, the scene switches to Homestar standing next to the Santa figure, as it slowly moves along}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look at him go. You're really moving along there, Santamen.

''{The scene switches back to Homestar lying down in front of the figure}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' You know, how can a guy deal with that? ''{The Santa figure makes a noise, then suddenly stops. Homestar sits up and looks at it.}'' ...Santamen?

== Fun Facts ==
*Homestar saying 'Santaman' is a reference to [[Three Times Halloween Funjob]], in which [[The Goblin]] shows up dressed as a 'santaman'.

== Summary ==
A holiday kids book by...er...Strong Bad, done in the style of ((StrongBadEmail/kids' book)).

== Transcript ==
'''VOICE OVER''': That time of year, by Lem 
'''STRONG BAD''': ''{quickly}'' Strong Bad! 
'''VOICE OVER''': Sportsinterview.

''{book opens}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Decemberween is almost here. Get ready.

'''STRONG BAD''': The Giant Mantis is almost here. Get ready to be pistol-whipped, snowman! Or... "Erweenga" is the name of the striped worm. Get dead, kid.

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Does the package have a 
'''STRONG BAD''': troll in it? 
'''VOICE OVER''': doll in it? Or maybe 
'''STRONG BAD''': a troll? 
'''VOICE OVER''': a train?

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Snow falls from the 'bove. It's cold when it snows.

'''STRONG BAD''': Now, a million eyeballs fall from the 'bove. The boy gets financial advice from the rat king. Or... Show the future magic ball! It burns flesh when it glows.

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': The Martins sing festive songs for the neighbors.

'''STRONG BAD''': The martinis have gone straight to their heads. The neigbors will probably call the cops.

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Wear a hat. Don't forget to wear a hat!

'''STRONG BAD''': I swear that thing is evil. Liberace is fixing to lose a finger.

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Greta is making cookies. When will they be done?

'''STRONG BAD''': Greta is feeding the mouse bug spray. When will he be done for?

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': The store is crowded with 
''{strong bad and the voice over read at the same time}'' 
'''STRONG BAD''': robots bursting out of people. Oh the humanity! 
'''VOICE OVER''': people buying things for other people. Oh boy! 

''{book turns page}''

'''VOICE OVER''': Decemberween is here. Decemberween is here. Today. 
'''STRONG BAD''': Radioactivity is here. Growing arms out of heads is here. Today! Or... I am here stealing your presents. Sorry kids, today is not your lucky day.

''{book closes}''

== Fun Facts ==
*If you look closely you can see the book belongs to [[Cherry Greg]], who directed the [[First Time Here?]] cartoon and the [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]] with [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]].
*You can see a [[Trogdor]] graffiti to the right when the "Martini's go to their heads"
*Despite various debates about Cold Ones, the crack about martinis going to people's heads is the first unquestionable alcohol reference in H*R.
**Does the downloadable Strong Bad screensaver that advertises "Strong Beer: Alcoholic Cold Ones" count?
**What about Coach Z's "Coldson Lite" in the sbemail 'Labor Day'?
**And what about on http://www.thoraxcorp.com where on the staph page it says, "hear their drunken ramblings"?
*For people who don't know, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberace Liberace] was a professional piano player. Yes, those gold rings are real. He was very fond of his expensive jewelry.
**Strong Bad must be from the south. He says, "Liberace is FIXING TO lose a finger." The phrase "fixing to" is distinctly southern.
***Given that the Brothers Chaps are from Atlanta, its probably not intentional.
***It could also explain why he thinks Southern Accents are hot.
**** No wonder Strong Bad has a mexican accent!
*****Well, he used to, I think he's grown out of it.
*****"Southern" is totally different from "Mexican". I assume this whole Mexican Wrestling thing had more to do with it, prime example probably being [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].

== Screenshot ==
http://img30.exs.cx/img30/6707/cuppincakes.png

== Summary ==
The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes gang do their usual crazy things. This time on Decemberween.

'''Features: [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Cowcopter]], [[The Worm]], [[The Wheelchair]], [[Eh! Steve]], [[Keyboard Strong Bad]], [[Prime Time]]'''

== Transcript ==
''{A title saying: Cactus Coffee and the No Tell Motel appears and then is flooded by coffee, then shifts to a scene with Cowcopter and The Worm.}''

'''COWCOPTER:''' ''{mumbling}''

'''THE WORM:''' Up, down... Up, down... Up... (sounds like "wuhh, yah")

''{Cowcopter jumps up, then bites The Worm and starts pulling.}''

'''COWCOPTER:''' ''{grunting}''

''{Cowcopter pulls out a pot that flips end-over-end and lands on top of him. The Wheelchair appears and pops the lid off the pot.}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' Mmm! Mm! Burled holiday cabbage!

''{Eh! Steve slowly rises out of pot, covered in Christmas tree balls.}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' Eh! Steve, get your sassy-frass out my burled holiday cabbage!

''{Eh! Steve jumps into the air, and the scene freezes. His mouth starts shining, and rises into the air.}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

''{Gothic blackletter reading "EH! STEVE!" appears and drifts back down towards Earth.}''

'''THE WORM:''' ''{cartoonish Italian accent}'' Is a miracle.

''{Words "IS A MIRACLE" appear.}''

''{Demo Strong Bad pops into existence and plays Jingle Bells. Everyone starts dancing.}''

''{Cut to a scene of Strong Mad's "Prime Time" 'brow style dancing. Then cut to Strong Bad and Homestar at Homestar's house watching the show on TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... didn't I invent this cartoon?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, I think so.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how come I can't understand a lick of it?

'''HOMESTAR:''' What's not to understand?

''{Strong Bad turns to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Eh! Steve's mouth exploded the universe, and that blonde guy did a tiny, tiny dance.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastic}'' Oh, right. The true meaning of Decemberween.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, yeah, right, right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pff! Whatever! I'ma go "re-nog."

''{Strong Bad holds up a half-empty glass of eggnog and leaves the room. The scene dims, the back button appears and after a few seconds...}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Will you turn the lights on when you come back in?

== Easter Eggs ==
*Wait at the end for Homestar to say "Will you turn the lights back on when you come back in?"

== Fun Facts ==
*The tune [[Keyboard Strong Bad]] plays is impossible to play on a real Casio VL-1 (the keyboard his head is modeled on). The Casio VL-1 is monophonic, meaning only one note at a time can be played.
**Are you sure about this? I think that tune might be one of the Demo tunes on the Casio VL-1. I realize it can't be played on the keyboard, but I think it CAN be played by pushing the right demo button.
***I have the keyboard. There's only one demo tune and it ''can'' be played without pressing the button. (The percussive bleeps and bloops are preprogrammed rhythms which can be played along with a melody, but that melody can't have any other accompaniment or chords or anything.)
****I think it's a Kawasaki keyboard. Because I used to have a Kawasaki keyboard that played "Jingle Bells" as the demo.-DaChazman
***That might be where the music comes from, but the keyboard for his head is clearly a Casio VL-1. It looks almost exactly like the real thing, and both the demo tune from [[crazy cartoon]] and the percussion rhythm from the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes main page are from the Casio VL-1. So the music doesn't match the keyboard.
*The little blonde dancing guy at the end is from [[haircut]], when Strong Bad was making eyebrow styles.
**His name is Eh! Greg! and he does a tiny, tiny dance.
***No, his name is Prime Time.
****"Ready for Prime Time" is just the name of the hairstyle. After Strong Mad says "Sweetie Cakes!", Strong Bad labels him as "Eh! Greg!"
*****The little blonde dancing guy's name can either be "Ready for Prime Time" or "Prime Time" or something until the TBC makes another Sweet Cuppin' Cakes short and give it a official name. It's not "Eh! Greg!" because Strong Bad only drew an "Eh! Steve!"-like character next to Prime Time and labeled it "Eh! Greg!"
******Actually he is referred to as "That little blonde guy" by Homestar so that could be his name...
*Can anyone tell if the stars scrolling up spell out anything, or if they're just stars?
**No words. Just random dots.

'''A Decemberween celebration from the TGS.'''

The Teen Girl Squad celebrate Decemberween by jumping into a lion's mouth for presents.

'''Features: [[Cheerleader]], [[What's Her Face]], [[So and So]], [[The Ugly One]]''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:'''Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader! ''(Wants a pony)'' So-and-so! ''(Wants a savings bond)'' Whats-her-face! ''(Wants a new stepdad)'' The Ugly One! ''(Wants to be Cheerleader)''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Okay, my gallies, listen up! We have to draw names for secret Decemberween gift exchange.

'''SO-AND-SO, WHAT'S HER FACE, and THE UGLY ONE:''' FUNTIME!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Okay, chill. I put each of our names into this lion's mouth. ''(the screen pulls back to show a lion standing next to Cheerleader)'' Whats-her-face, you choose first.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I'm... hesitant.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Fine then, you won't get any presents.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I want presents! I want presents! CANNONBALL! ''(she jumps into the lion's mouth)''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' CHOMP!

''(cut to a table with three judges. Two of them are the Man with the Huge Mouth. The other is a stick figure. They are all holding signs that say 2.)''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TWO'D!

''(cut back to the girls)''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Uh, So-and-so, I'm thinking you're next.

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''(thinking)'' Let's see... Lion's mouth plus Decemberween present divided by peer pressure times height equals... ''(out loud)'' TRIPLE SALCHOW! ''(jumps into the lion's mouth)''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' SHOMP!

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''(from within)'' Come on in, the water's great!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Last one in's a rotten friend! DOUBLE DOUBLE WHIPLESS MOCHACCINO HALF CAF! ''(jumps into lion's mouth)''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' SHOOP! ''(cut to the judges. They are holding signs with noses on them.)'' 3 noses?

''(cut back to Whats-her-face)''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I'm vegan.

''(A guy in a Hawaiian shirt appears playing a ukelele, and a large pile of babies appears behind Whats-her-face, about to fall on her.)''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD (Singing):''' Wave o' babies.

''(cut to inside the lion. Cheerleader is upside-down.)''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Yo, this lion's innards are looking...

'''CHEERLEADER, SO-AND-SO, and THE UGLY ONE:''' SO GOOD!

'''SO-AND-SO:''' Here I got you this present. ''(hands a present to Cheerleader, who opens it.)''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh, a giftcard for fashion, how did you know?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I got you this half digested gazelle carcass.

'''CHEERLEADER, SO-AND-SO, and THE UGLY ONE:''' GAZELLE CARCASS!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' It's over!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click the O at the end in "It's Over!" for a small short with [[What's Her Face]] playing a game of Marco Polo with [[Cheerleader]]. Also, two babies (presumably from the Wave o' babies) are clinging to her.

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the only issue of TGS with The Man with the Big Mouth to have his mouth closed.
*This is the shortest issue of Teen Girl Squad so far.
*In the opening, it's the only time Cheerleader doesn't have something written on her dress.
*This is the only issue of TGS so far where nobody gets killed... even though hanging out inside a lion is probably detrimental to your health in the long run.

***I have the keyboard. There's only one demo tune and it ''can'' be played without pressing the button. (The percussive bleeps and bloops are preprogrammed rhythms which can be played along with a melody, but that melody can't have any other accompaniment or chords or anything.)
****I think it's a Kawasaki keyboard. Because I used to have a Kawasaki keyboard that played "Jingle Bells" as the demo.-DaChazman
***That might be where the music comes from, but the keyboard for his head is clearly a Casio VL-1. It looks almost exactly like the real thing, and both the demo tune from [[crazy cartoon]] and the percussion rhythm from the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes main page are from the Casio VL-1. So the music doesn't match the keyboard.

*****The little blonde dancing guy's name can either be "Ready for Prime Time" or "Prime Time" or something until the TBC makes another Sweet Cuppin' Cakes short and give it a official name. It's not "Eh! Greg!" because Strong Bad only drew an "Eh! Steve!"-like character next to Prime Time and labeled it "Eh! Greg!"
******Actually he is referred to as "That little blonde guy" by Homestar so that could be his name...

''{Cowcopter jumps up, then bites The Worm and starts pulling.}''

'''COWCOPTER:''' ''{grunting}''

''{Gothic blackletter reading "EH! STEVE!" appears and drifts back down towards Earth.}''

'''THE WORM:''' ''{cartoonish Italian accent}'' Is a miracle.

''{Words "IS A MIRACLE" appear.}''

''{Demo Strong Bad pops into existence and plays Jingle Bells. Everyone starts dancing.}''

''{Cut to a scene of Strong Mad's "Prime Time" 'brow style dancing. Then cut to Strong Bad and Homestar at Homestar's house watching the show on TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... didn't I invent this cartoon?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, I think so.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how come I can't understand a lick of it?

'''HOMESTAR:''' What's not to understand?

''{Strong Bad turns to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Eh! Steve's mouth exploded the universe, and that blonde guy did a tiny, tiny dance.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastic}'' Oh, right. The true meaning of Decemberween.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, yeah, right, right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pff! Whatever! I'ma go "re-nog."

other days

codeman38: /* Fun Facts */

== Screenshot ==
http://img64.exs.cx/img64/9493/111snailmail.png

== Summary ==
'''StrongBadEmail #111'''

Brian asks what Strong Bad does on all the other days of the week.

'''Features: [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Coach Z]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Sad]] (Easter Egg)'''

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking}'' I got an email in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{reading email}''

<pre>dear strong bad,
what do you do on all the other days
of the week?
sincerely,
brian holmes CA (he reads this line "B. Ryan Holmes, certified arborist")</pre>

''{typing and speaking like a robot}''Good question, Brian. I am going to answer this email like a robot. Don't you think this is a great idea? ''{normal voice}'' Yeah, sorry, me neither. OK, other days of the week. Let's see...

''{A calendar appears with a heading "A Month" and weeks starting on Monday. On Monday is written "checka' e-mail.}''

On Tuesdays, I check my snail mail.

''{scene with Strong Bad at a mailbox that reads "sb_snailmail.exe"}''

I got a snail mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{he opens his letter and reads it}''

Dear Mr. Bad,
This constitutes your final warning.
Please remit payment of three(3)
dollars and sixty-two(62) cents or
you will be turned over to a "cut off
your toes" -style collections agency.

Swarthily,
Bubs' Concession Stand

''{speaking sarcastically}'' Oh, no, final warning. Is there nothing I can do to dissuade you? Like maybe give you a ride in my BMW?!? ''{he pulls out the BMW lighter and burns the paper}'' ''{he laughs}''

Um... where's my house?

Then to better help folks over the hump, on Wednesdays I give free motivational lectures.

''{changes to the chalkboard with Coach Z and Strong Mad listening to Strong Bad}''

You gots [sic] to look inside yourself! Positate [sic] the negative. When life throws pies at you, you make yourself a tall, cool glass of piemonade.

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a new man!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M THE HUMP!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Due to a prior arrest, Thursdays are community service days, so me and the old Cheatasaurus head down to Strong Badia and give the place a firm scrubbin'.

''{cut to StrongBadia, where Strong Bad is vacuuming the dirt and the cheat is washing the Tire}''

You know what I always say, The Cheat. Stay smart, vacuum... dirt.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine.

Then there's Business Casual Fridays, or as we say around the office, Bis Cas Fri. ''{"bis cas fri" appears on the Friday box}'' You know, because we have to abreeve everything. That's the day we all wear the free polo shirts we got from various software companies.

''{cut to the office}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. Did you play online gaming last night? No, yeah, no? I did. I got so many frags.

'''STRONG BAD:''' On Saturday I certainly don't wake up at 6 A.M., put on a Speedo, and go to swim practice. No, no, definitely not Speedo. But I do attend: BATTLE AXE SESSIONS AT THE REC CENTER, with my teacher Doulph Hauldhegen, The Instructor! And on Sunday, I check my email, for our Eastern European viewers accross the pond.

''{Strong Bad sits at a gray computer with the word "BLOCK" in the bottom-left corner}''

I got a Polish e-mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{reading, translator speaks over}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad:
Please to be untieing that shoelace on
the back of your head?

Janus
Poland</pre>

''{typing}'' Untie my shoelace, eh Janus? Your
mother is the speed limit.
Your aspirin,
Strong Bad

''{cut back to Compy 386}''

That's pretty much my week. Now time for a refreshing glass of piemonade, or as we say around the office, p-nade.

''{The Paper comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "brian holmes CA" after Strong Bad says "Certified Arborist" to see B. Ryan Holmes' business card.
**The card reads: "B. Ryan Holmes, Certified Arborist. Phone:555-XYLM Mobile:coming soon" It has pictures of green trees and says "I think it has to do with trees!" in cursive on the bottom.
*At the end, click on "my week" to see [[Strong Sad]] waking [[Strong Bad]] up for swim practice.
*Also at the end click on "piemonade," to see an advertisement for (Cool, Refreshing...)Piemonade(!!).

== Fun Facts ==
*When Strong Bad dismisses the email's text to make room for his new text, as he does often, it makes the standard typing sound effects instead of the hard "enter" hitting sound.
*The calendar starts on Monday, as per some European countries. United States calendars usually start on Sunday.
*Strong Bad's Mail box says sb_snailmail.exe on it, and has never appeared before. This, together with when Strong Bad says "umm... where's my house?" could mean that this is not a real place.
**I thought that meant they took SB's house for not paying.
*Strong Bad's advice to "make Piemonade" is a reference to the saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade".
*When Strong Sad is waking up Strong Bad for swim practice, he mumbles various things, ranging from "I'll kill you" to the name of the classic SNES RPG, ''Chrono Trigger''.
**This is the third time that Strong Bad has talked in his sleep about Super Nintendo games. The last two times, for the record, were in [[morning routine]] and [[cheatday]]. I suppose this could qualify as some sort of running joke now...
***I'd have to say this is a running joke after three instances. The "Super Contra" comment could have just been a reference to the "Super Bomberman" one, but now this goes backwards twice.
**Judging from the muffled sounds Strong Bad makes during this, the "I'll kill you" is likely directed to Magus, a villain in the game (who can actually be one of your party members if you play things out right).
*The office where "biz cas fri" takes place is the same as in [[dullard]] and the [[Senor Mortgage]] short, and the conversation is very reminiscient of that from 'dullard'.

pizzaz

codeman38: /* Fun Facts */

== Screenshot ==

http://img72.exs.cx/img72/9679/113pizzaz1.jpg

== Summary ==
Ryan N. asks Strong Bad what the secret to his "pizzaz" is. Strong Bad does a journalism interview with himself on his "Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum" (sic) to find out.

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

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{types "strongbad" while singing}'' Here comes The Strong Baaaaad... ''{types "_email.exe"}'' Oh, here comes The Strong Baaaaad! ''{brings up the email and reads it}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad,
I'd like to know...what is the secret
to your pizzaz? Why are you so cool?

peace out dawg foo gangsta yo
Ryan N.</pre>

Umm... ''{typing}'' Did you just call me a dog food gangsta? What is that supposed to mean? ''{in an Olde English typeface}'' Ought I to be offended?

''{clear screen}'' Anyways... ''{typing}'' The secret to my pizzaz/why am I so cool? Hey, good questions Ryguy, let's ask me!!

''{music starts and a newspaper background appears}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum: ''{the Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears}'' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at his toughest interviewee yet... ''{a crosshair appears and moves around the screen revealing the scene underneath it before centering on Strong Bad's head and flashing "LOCKED ON!!"}'' ...HIMSLEF! ''{echoes ridiculously}'' I mean... himself.

''{Scene changes to Strong Bad's interview stage with the lights dimmed; Strong Bad is talking to someone off-screen with his microphone turned off. The lights fade up and Strong Bad turns towards the camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point! ''{the text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome, Strong Bad.

''{The camera switches to the rear of Strong Bad to reveal another Strong Bad, this one dressed in a sailor's cap with a corncob pipe. Referred to as "CAPTAIN STRONG BAD" for the purposes of not confusing people, aside from the hat and pipe he's a carbon copy of Strong Bad}''

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, Strong Bad.

''{the camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... you're dressed like a ship's captain. Whuh... um... why are you dressed like a ship's captain?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' I thought that I heard it was... ''{looks around}'' ...the latest style.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Absolutely not the case. So... you're still dressed like a ship's captain. Why is that?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Look, I'm telling you, I either saw or read or ''{mumbles quickly}'' heard it from The Cheat ''{speaking normally}'' that it's the latest style!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you say. This "The Cheat" you mentioned... is he also dressed like a ship's captain?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, no way. The Cheat's too cool for that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But you don't seem to have that problem.

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' What... no, wait, you turned it all around on me! I'm cool! I have pizzaz!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-huh. And a corncob pipe.

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's it! This interview is OVERRRR! ''{sticks his face in the screen as the picture fuzzes out}''

''{cue an old-cartoon-style picture of The Cheat next to a pulled power plug with the text "Hang In There" and "Technical Difficulties"}''

''{after a little while, newspaper background and music returns with a picture of Captain Strong Bad's angry outburst}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So after many fives of dollars and saying "Come oooonnnnnn!" a lot, I got Strong Bad to agree to a second interview, this time at his buffalo-style ranch in Strong Badia.

''{switch to image of Strong Badia with Strong Bad and Captain Strong Bad behind the fence, which zooms to fill the screen and then zooms in on the two Strong Bads}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Strong Bad, the peoples want to know... what's the secret to your pizzaz?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Well, for starters, you've gotta have the three G's. Gumption, uh... Gum, like, chew gum, and, uh... Gar........gle. Minty gargle.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Minty... gargle. ''{Captain Strong Bad nods}''

''{camera switches to behind the fence, showing that it's far too tall for Strong Bad's head to come above it normally, and that they are both actually hanging from the fence by their arms}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is that really all you got?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... yeah, pretty much.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes "la-de-da-de-da" Cheat noises as he comes on-screen and the camera moves back to the front of the fence}''

'''BOTH STRONG BADS:''' Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks at one, then the other, then the other, faster and faster until finally his head explodes}''

''{scene shifts back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, I never really got a straight answer outta me, RyGuy. But if you wanna be cool and have pizzas like me, it looks like the secret has a lot to do with fresh breath apparently. Okay, before I go, I'd like to give a shout out to all my Dogfood Gangstas. Canned or Dry, We Neva Die. ''{speaking}'' Colors. ''{typing}'' Here goes The Strong Baaaaad. ''{gets up from the stool and continues off-screen}'' Oh, here goes The Strong Baaaaad!

''{The Paper comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==

At the end of the email:
*Click on "secret" to see a sneak peek of Strong Bad's next show. "Next week on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum... Watch as Strong Bad levels the business end of his 12-gauge journalism bazooka squarely at: BISCUIT-DOUGH HANDS MAN!"
*Click on "Dogfood Gangstas" to see a graffiti-style image of Strong Bad as a Dogfood Gangsta.
*Click on "The Strong Baaaaad" to get a preview of Strong Bad's old-western-style TV show "The Strong Bad" (In Colors!), created by A. Chimendez.

== Fun Facts ==
*The interview program may be a reference to Tim Russert's ''Meet the Press'' on which Russert often tries to be tough about unimportant topics ("So...you're still dressed as a ship's captain"). Russert also makes frequent references to his hometown of Buffalo.
*The "This interview is OVERRR!" may be a reference to Bill O'Reilly, who left an interview on ''Fresh Air'' after saying "That is the end of this interview!". O'Reilly recently appeared with Tim Russert.
** I was also reminded of the now-infamous Hardball interview with Georgia senator Zell Miller in which Miller ended up challenging Chris Matthews to a duel. Wouldn't surprise me, given that [[The Brothers Chaps]] are from Georgia... --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 20:37, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)
*The background at the Buffalo-Style Ranch is from the [[Cheat Commandos...O's commercial]].
*A. Chimendez is the writer of "Time to break...fast!" from the Cheat Commandos...O's commercial.
*The words that scroll across the screen in the intro for the talk show read "MICROPHONE", "TALKING 2", "PEOPLE", "A GLOBE", and "A PLANT".
*The phrase "Neva Die" was said by Homestar Runner in Email 101 ([[car]]).
*The background in the beginning of The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum is the same as the background in the beginning of [[Senor Mortgage]].
*"[[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]]" is the initial suspect for Strong Bad's crimes in [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]], created by Bubs drawing the KOT's description of the crook.
*The Cheat's head also explodes in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and the email [[couch patch]].
*The cartoon image of [[The Cheat]] pulling out a power plug is a reference to The Cheat's first appearance in [[Original_Book|The Strongest Man in the World]].
*Multiple mentions of "Buffalo-Style" things, which is probably a reference to buffalo-style chicken wings.

I'm Cody, a senior computer science major at a small private university in the southeastern US. (Appropriate name for a programmer, I know...) I'm also pursuing a music minor; I had originally tried a second major in piano performance, but there was absolutely no way I was going to be able to fit that into my schedule.

My web site is at [http://www.zone38.net/ Zone38.net], and it's probably a lot more interesting than this profile. :)
