ARE YOU ASKING FOR A CHALLENGE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Stinkoman (also spelled Stinko Man) is how Strong Bad would appear in a Japanese cartoon. He is an amalgam of anime clichés, and is obsessed with challenging and fighting. He seems more than willing to eat dirt, since he has done so on more than one occasion. He was first thought up in japanese cartoon, but he was first mentioned in island, where Homestar Runner called Strong Bad "Stinkoman". Dang, if only he had muscles.

His only Halloween costume (or "cosplay") was Fucking Dan.

Several of Stinkoman's more famous lines, such as "Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for SEEEEEEEEEEEEEX?!" or "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older", are surprisingly similar to those said by Tengu Man, a boss enemy from Mega Man 8, such as "Ha, it's only a kid" and "Are you worthy of my challenge?", both in content and voice intonation.

The line "No way, you're only a kid! Maybe when you're older!" is also used several times in the anime movie Akira (or some variation, depending on the translation). The 20X6 and Akira connection is seen again later in the Easter egg for 3 Times Halloween Funjob.

He also stars in the game Stinkoman 20X6, which The Brothers Chaps introduced in the NYU Talk, but has since been released on the website. Stinkoman's sprite in the game Stinkoman 20X6 is in fact an edit from the original MegaMan sprite for the NES.
