"Limozeen does it puppet style" <br />
<br />
Sounds nasty. They were "live action" but that is not the same as being a Puppet. -[[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 23:55, 27 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Heh, I remember writing that. A loooong time ago. But it was never really resolved, was it? What do we do about that instance, [[best thing]], ect? Do those count as 'puppet stuff', should we start 'live action', or what? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Should I upload the pictures from the behind the scenes from the old full paged [[Everybody Knows It]]?

'''Puppet Stuff''' refers to [[live action]] video clips starring various [[characters]] as puppets. The [[Puppet Jam]]s feature the Homestar puppet rocking out with [[They Might Be Giants]]. The Cheat puppet used in these clips is the [[Store Toys#Kick The Cheat|Kick The Cheat]] plush doll that was for sale in the [[Store]]. The Homestar and Strong Bad puppets, however, are one-of-a-kind items, created by [[Lucky Yates]] and Chris Brown.<br />
<br />
When clicked in the Toons Menu, or on the main page (when they were on the "What's New?" button or with the [[Random Toon]] button) they are shown over the top of the page. However, when chosen by the "rando" button in the navigation bar, they are shown on a separate page with [[HR:puppet_background.swf|this image]] as a backdrop.<br />

<div>== Question! ==<br />
Way back when the games were playable at the end of the e-mail, were they each the complete games? Or were they simplified versions? {{User:The Homestrongzipansadcheatsmith/sig}}01:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You can still play them, just click on the box when getting a closer look at it. And yes, they are full versions, because the bottom bar is still there.<br />
:--[[User:Super Martyo Brother|Super Martyo Brother]] 23:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Vector game reference ==<br />
<br />
As this is mere speculation, I've chosen not to add it to the page, but the giant vector-graphics Strong Bad head, at least to me, seems like it could be a reference to Sega/Gremlin's vector games Space Fury and Zektor, both of which featured giant heads as villains. --[[User:67.115.105.191|67.115.105.191]] 20:16, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:There were actually lotsa games like this back in the day. I was playing Vector Breakout and Vector Pong on my brand spankin new Leading Edge 12mHz 80286 IBM-PC compatible machine (with 640k ram and a hard drive with a few megs' storage). Hey, I was 8, but man that was the coolest freakin thing I'd ever seen. Anywho, point is: this isn't a direct reference to any one game, but to the vector genre, which was an early attempt at wireframe 3d gaming. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]]|<small><sub>[[User talk:Southpaw018|talk]]</sub></small> 19:20, 28 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:It is indeed a reference to vector games in general...the giant, evil, player-taunting head just invokes memories of those two games in particular, though it could in fact be a reference to any of those early-80s games with the main villain taunting you (through that immortal primitive speech synthesis), from Berzerk, to Gorf, to Sinistar. So I just don't really know...that's why I didn't add it to Fun Facts. --[[User:67.115.105.191|67.115.105.191]] 22:27, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== sinistar ==<br />
<br />
I would vote for [http://www.sinistar.com/HEAD.GIF sinistar]. Check out the resemblance (ok - it's kind of slight...) --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 10:13, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Removed "fact" ==<br />
<br />
I just removed the following:<br />
*Strong Bad's intro is a reference to Pete Rose's book, "My Prison Without Bars", which was released about the same time as this e-mail.<br />
"with no walls" is a [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22with+no+walls%22 common expression].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] --[[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:56, 5 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
=== Arguments for a specific fact ===<br />
<br />
I just replaced the following, which had recently been removed:<br />
*Strong Bad's intro is a reference to Pete Rose's book, "My Prison Without Bars", which was released about the same time as this e-mail.<br />
Even though "with no walls" may be a common expression, Rose's book had been released only days before this email premiered. It was all over the news, and the reference to a prison missing something was timely and is therefore valid now. -- [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:57, 22 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I'm not going to get into an edit war with you, but I side with Tom on this one. It just seems too much like a coincidence. It's the only reference that could possibly be equated with the book, and Strong Bad makes a very different prison reference less than a minute later. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:13, 22 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
::You have to bear in mind the timing of it all. The email's debut was January 12, 2004. Only ''four days'' prior to that, ''My Prison Without Bars'' was released. It was <u>''the''</u> hot topic of the weekend. I vividly remember the Monday morning I first saw the email and thinking to myself: ''Wow, they put a pop-culture reference in there!'' If I had known of the Wiki's existence at the time, I would have added the fun fact then.<br />
<br />
::Time passes. Nearly thirteen months later, some anonymous contributor (I don't know who) adds the fact to the page, but it's been so long that the context and the feeling of a year ago are gone, and so it seems like this so-called fact is a stretch. I can see where you're coming from in this.<br />
<br />
::But it's not a stretch. The key phrase here is "prison without." Without bars, without walls -- or even, as Strong Bad says, without toilets -- it doesn't matter what it's without... The fact is that the phrase, ''given the context of the day,'' is too coincidental to be a coincidence. It is an apropos reference, and a valid fun fact.<br />
<br />
::Sincerely, and with warm regards, <br />-- [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 25 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
::P.S. It's true that Strong Bad mentions Alcatraz, but I think that's because TBC already had prison on the brain due to the constant news coverage of Pete Rose's book (and the shocking revelations within it).<br />
<br />
:::Agree with Tom??? How??? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Sorry to spoil a vivid arguement, but I moved the fact to the STUFF page, and frankly, I agree with tom.<br />
<br />
:::--[[User:Super Martyo Brother|Super Martyo Brother]] 23:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::It's dot com, that was too close of a vote to close that STUFF. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::STUFF closes automatically after two weeks, regardless of the votes. That's how many are decided. They can't stay open forever. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
::::::They can't, but I remember STUFF votes that were so close (like this one) they stood open for more people to vote on. I recall time when we waited until there were as many as 20 votes on '''each side''' until it was closed. May be we are a little rushing it here? It's dot com: I suggest opening the vote again. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::Here are some examples: [[Talk:technology#Robots In Service|Robots In Service]] - Been open for 23 days, with a total of 35 votes. [[Talk:myths & legends#Shorty|Shorty]] - Been open for 18 days, with a total of 55 votes. [[Talk:myths & legends#A dingo took my baby!|A dingo took my baby!]] - Been open for 18 days, with a total of 44 votes. All this facts were as highly debated as this one and had many suppoerters and opposers on each site as this one. I don't call for a re-vote, I'm calling to keep this fact open for a few more days. 4-5 will be enough, or until we get a total of more then 35 votes. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::::I missed all this (getting ready for a trip), but if the book came out on Thursday and the SBEmail the next Monday, wouldn't TBC have already written the script before the book's brouha started? --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 23:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::::No; TBC often wrote and produced an email over a weekend at the time this one came out. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::::::Wow, I totally didn't notice that this conversation had continued. I don't see why this vote should be reopened. In the history of STUFF, there have been 6 items where the vote was closer (by percentage) than it was here and 12 items where the result was decided by 1 or 2 votes. As for this fact, even though I am a supporter of it, I still believe the correct call was made: It was open for the full 14 days; the reason that this one was a low-voting item was apparently because a lot of people chose not to vote (notable active users who usually vote but didn't include Jay, Heimstern, and TBird). They did, however, have the ''opportunity'' to vote. There were a total of 8 days when ''nobody'' voted. Before that, the fact was on the page for ''507 days''&mdash;when anyone could have STUFF'd it&mdash;before anyone finally did. From the results of the vote combined with the general apathy toward this item and the length of time it remained on the page itself, my conclusion was that the people of the wiki were inclined toward this one ''just enough'' for it to be included on the page and have had ''plenty'' of chance to say otherwise. Therefore, I believe the process was followed, and the result should be upheld. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::::::I, too, believe the vote should remain as it is. If it had been a one-vote difference, I could understand, but 14-12 is not too bad (about 53%-46%) and not on an item that drew everyone to the polls (so to speak). Dot com correctly observes that several users, myself included, stayed out of the vote (for anyone who's wondering, it had to do with my being in China and unable to do the proper research there, largely because 'Kipedia is blocked in China). STUFF items have to end sometime, and two weeks is a very reasonable amount of time, usually (the infernal Dairy Queen fact being an exception). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' Email is like a prison. A prison with no walls... and no toilet.<br />
<br />
''{reading}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I was just wondering what you would<br /><br />

would be like.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
From,<br /><br />
Taylor R.<br /><br />
Queen Creek, AZ</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad reads "AZ" as "Alcatraz."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. Somebody on the inside. ''{shakes head}'' Get out soon, Taylor. ''{typing}'' What would I be like in a video game? Well, that all depends on what system we're talking about. Like, if it was on one of those really old machines...<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Atari 2600-style game, with an empty green rectangle imposed on a black screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...the graphics would probably only look ''kinda'' like me. <br />
<br />
''{A red square appears representing Strong Bad.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd run all around a futuristic maze&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{The square starts moving around the screen and some green blocks and blue glowing barriers appear.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' &mdash;collecting things that look ''nothing like'' me.<br />
<br />
''{A yellow square the same size as Strong Bad's square appears in the center of the maze.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man, that'd be pretty awesome! <br />
<br />
''{The red square approaches the yellow square and touches it, thereby "collecting" it. The words "secret collect!" appear on the screen. Cut back to the Compy 386.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh! Ooh! I could also be in one of those 3-D vector games.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to screen of said game. A corridor ending with a wall is outlined in red. Some moving arrows appear on the walls on either side.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And there'd be this awesome, huge, 3-D version of my head floatin' around.<br />
<br />
''{A vectorized version of Strong Bad's head appears on the screen}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Like, it looks so awesome, girls would probably try to make out with the screen <br />
<br />
''{Lipstick lips appear on the screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' and we'd have to program it to be like:<br />
<br />
'''VECTOR STRONG BAD''': BACK OFF BABY <br />
<br />
''{As it speaks, the words appear on the screen, then fall down and disappear.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And in this one, the player wouldn't control me... <br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad at the Compy, shaking the camera}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' 'CUZ YOU CAN'T CONTROL ''ME!!''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the vector game.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Instead, you'd be some kinda 3-D shield guy with a shield...<br />
<br />
''{A generic-looking guy with a shield appears on the bottom of the screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Some kind of ''spikey''-headed 3-D cyber-shield guy... with a cyber-shield.<br />
<br />
''{The appropriate changes are made so the shield guy is now spikey-headed and holding a striped "cyber-shield."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd have to block my perplexing 3-D geometric attacks, or face ''certain 3-D doom''!<br />
<br />
''{Vector Strong Bad spits out a rhombus, which the cyber-shield guy blocks. Vector Strong Bad spits another rhombus, and this one hits the cyber-shield carrier in the face, causing it to explode.}''<br />
<br />
'''VECTOR STRONG BAD''': YOUR HEAD A SPLODE <br />
<br />
''{Again, the words appear on the screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Naturally, there'd be some problems with bad translation.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' On the other hand, it might be cool to be in one of those text-based adventures. You know, for those intellectual people with better imaginations.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a black screen with a green arrow at the top (and moving green lines), similar to the [[Tandy 400]].}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It'd be like...<br />
<br />
''{reading text}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Ye find yeself in yon dungeon. Ye see a FLASK<br /><br />
Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad doesn't say the last sentence.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd be all like... <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none">Get ye flask</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And it'd say, <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none">You can't get ye flask!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd just have to sit there and imagine ''why on Earth'' you can't get ye flask! Because the game's certainly not going to tell you.<br />
<br />
''{At this the screen adds "I'm certainly not going to tell thou."}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And there's no precious graphics to help you out, either!<br />
<br />
''{At this the screen adds "Graphics, shmaphics." and a few seconds later, " . . for sooth!" Cut back to the computer.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But oh, man. The best thing ever would be if I was in one of those brand new super-photorealistic games that take like tons of migs and megs of memories just to play it.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a blue screen. A 16-bit version of Strong Bad appears.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd look super-cool, runnin' around on some grass, maybe. <br />
<br />
''{The background changes to a 16-bit field against a blue sky.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Where there'd be like, um... a rhino there, too.<br />
<br />
''{A rhino falls down from the sky and some music starts playing.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A ''hungry'' rhino!<br />
<br />
''{A food bowl appears in front of the rhino and it starts whining, jumping and turning red. Strong Bad runs around.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd have to, I guess... feed him.<br />
<br />
''{A box labeled "FOOD" appears. Strong Bad brings it to the rhino's bowl and it calms down, eating the food.}''<br />
<br />

== Easter Eggs ==<br />
*Clicking on the ''[[StrongBadZone]]'', ''[[RhinoFeeder]]'', ''[[Thy Dungeonman]]'', and ''[[Secret Collect.]]'' boxes will give a closer image of each box and (if JavaScript is enabled) a pop-up of the game itself.<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*Strong Bad's statement about bad translation of ''StrongBadZone'' is a reference to the ubiquitous bad translation of Japanese-made [[Nintendo|NES]]-era games, the most infamous of which gave rise to the phrase, "[[Wikipedia:All your base are belong to us|All your base are belong to us]]," which was from the Sega Genesis port of the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Zero Wing|Zero Wing]]''.<br />
*When Strong Bad says "migs and megs of memories," he's talking about [[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megabytes]] of computer memory.<br />
*When Strong Bad mistakes Arizona for Alcatraz and says "Whoa... Somebody on the inside," he is talking about the famous jail on [[Wikipedia:Alcatraz Island|Alcatraz Island]] (which actually hasn't been in use since 1963).<br />
*Secret Collect is playable on the [[FunMachine]], while Rhino Feeder is playable on the Super FunMachine. The names of these systems are most likely references to the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], respectively.<br />
**However, the jump in graphics quality between the two games is more a reference to the graphics advances between the [[Atari 2600]] and its successors, the [[Wikipedia:Atari 5200|Atari 5200]] and [[Wikipedia:Atari 7800|7800]].<br />
*Forsooth (misspelled here as "for sooth") is an archaic word originally meaning "in truth" but now usually used to express disbelief.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#bio menace|bio menace]]".<br />
*Even though Strong Bad threw out his Tandy long before this e-mail, the text game he created seems to be on it instead of his Compy.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*When Strong Bad says "YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!" and he shakes the camera, the contrast on the computer can still be changed.<br />
*The ''StrongBadZone'' game contains the "BACK OFF BABY!" sequence, though it's only accessible when played with a [http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar] or [[Viidelectrix|playing the Nintendo Wii version]].<br />
*Although this email was supposed to be about if Strong Bad was in a video game, in ''Thy Dungeonman'' his involvement with the game is only through what he types at the command line.<br />
*Strong Bad mispronounces the word "ye" in "You can't get [[ye flask]]!" English used to contain two different symbols for the "th" sound, but the first printing presses, built in Germany, did not contain the "th" symbols, so English printers used the "y" character to approximate the "th" sound in the word "the". "Ye" (the article) it is commonly confused with a different word, "ye," which means "you" (plural).<br />
*Strong Bad mentions that no one can control him, yet he is the playable character in Rhino Feeder and in Secret Collect, as well as in the Egg Throwing Game, Fishing Challenge '91, and Strong Bad's Treat Snatcha.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
[[Image:Video games a prompt goof.png|thumb|Oops!]]<br />
*When Strong Bad pours the drink out for Taylor, some of the dust at the top of the Compy's screen from the [[army|previous email]] is still there, though it was not visible in the rest of the email.<br />
*When Strong Bad clears the screen after reading the email, the a> covers the text above for one frame.<br />
*When Strong Bad shakes the camera after saying "BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!", the top of the Compy has a thin white line above it.<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*Strong Bad's intro is possibly a reference to Pete Rose's book, "My Prison Without Bars," which was released the week before this email.<br />
*The graphics in ''StrongBadZone'' closely resemble [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Virtual Boy|Virtual Boy]] games that used vector graphics, such as [[Wikipedia:Red Alarm|''Red Alarm'']]. The Virtual Boy used only black, and three shades of red. See the [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] below for several other titles that [[The Brothers Chaps]] liken it to.<br />
*When Strong Bad pours the Cold One on the carpet at the end, it is a reference to the modern gangsta practice of pouring out a 40-ounce beer "for my dead homies."<br />
<br />
===Fast Forward===<br />
*''StrongBadZone'' is featured in [[Main Page 21]], the vector graphics page, which resembles the arcade game ''BattleZone''.<br />
**The phrase "[[A Splode]]" is used several times later on.<br />
*[[Ye Flask]] appears again in [[Thy Dungeonman]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]], and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]]<br />
*Even though game text in the email says "graphics shmaphics", [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] did use graphics.<br />
**Additionally, the player can get ye flask in that game.<br />
<br />
== DVD Version ==<br />
*None of the four games are playable. As well, the game boxes don't automatically come up. Instead, they are accessible via the hidden Strong Bad Icon on the Compy 386 screen.<br />
**For the DVD, the Easter egg consists of samples of music from each game in turn.<br />
*Strong Bad's Cold One continues pouring after The Paper comes down.<br />
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch the DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br />

=== Commentary Transcript ===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' So this is an email we've been getting since probably the first week that we did Strong Bad Emails.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, and—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Remember when we— <br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' For whatever reason, we always shied away from it.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' And then, for whatever reason, we just came up with the idea.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' This was like the Japanese cartoon one, we got that a lot.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sometimes it just clicks when you read it and some, you just think of a good idea and sometimes you think of bad ideas, like maybe we'll get a really good idea for how to answer the "How do you type with boxing gloves?" email. Dark... dark night.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Umm—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So our friend, uhhh, and, uhh—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Collaborator.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Compat-compatriot. ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Contemporary.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Jonathan Howe, we, uhh, I don't know—he threw all these together in, like, three or four days, maybe.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Less than that, probably, yeah, we told him—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Hey, we had done it early in the—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —when we were doing this e-mail.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I mean like midweek, probably. Tuesday or Wednesday, we, uhh—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. Those are really good-looking kissy lips.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I like that.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Jiggles the camera.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, he gets really close up to it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Umm, so this is, y'know, like a vector game, like Tempest—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Battlezone.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Battlezone... yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' The original Star Wars game.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Ohh... there you go.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' He said, "Your head a splode".<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I think we were gonna make it ori—if you, when you killed him, he said, "My head splow up". ''{Mike laughs}'' That was the other thing he was going to say. Umm, so yeah, we figured if we were going to do the, uh, this is all sort of—comes from Mike and I if we ever to make a video game—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Don't tell 'em.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Never mind.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Nu-huh—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{slightly more insistently}'' Never mind.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We're not going to tell you.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I'm gonna need you all to sign a non-disclosure agreement before I reveal this. Umm, so this is sort of, uhh... I remember... what was it called? Vampire, I think, was one of the text games I played earlier on, and that's what had parapets in it. Was the first thing that—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, I remember parapets, yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And I had no idea what para-I remember, like, getting the dictionary out and, because, I thought that would, like, when I'd fin-found out what parapets meant—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That was how you won the game.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, then—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That was like— ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I would like, it was like the key to it, and I'm just like, "What? It's just like a wall, tower in a castle?" Umm... ''{long pause}'' That rhino looks great, too, Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Thanks, Matt.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I think that noise, the noise the rhino makes ''{Mike laughs}'' is just that string on a key—on the synthesizer. There's like, it's supposed to sound like strings of a guitar, like when you're sliding your fingers down, yeah, so are the snakes, and they're just really slow ones and really fast ones. Fret—fret noises, that's what I'm—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Fret magic.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Fret magic, really, magazine. Bio Menace, that was a Psygnosis game.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with, uh, what was the other one?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{menacingly}'' Blood Money.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Blood Money.<br />
<br />
===Fun Facts===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Tempest (game)|Tempest]] and [[Wikipedia:Battlezone|Battlezone]] are arcade games from 1980. They were famous for their colored vector graphics, which were very innovative for their time. "The original Star Wars game" probably refers to [[Wikipedia:Star Wars (arcade game)|Star Wars]], the arcade game from 1983, which also features color vector graphics.<br />

For reference, unlike the character [[Se&ntilde;or]], Senor Cardgage does not use the "&ntilde;" in his name. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 17:15, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
True dat, Drhagman.<BR><br />
- Not Strong Bad<br />
<br />
tr00 dat!<BR><br />

<br />
It really doesn't matter if his appearance in flashback is debated. Seriously, it's not a necessary piece of information. --Ogog<br />
<br />
''Wow! Im sure u havent noticed yet, but if you look reaeaeally closely, this guy kinda looks like STRONG BAD!!! So that's where the nightmares come from!''-some retard.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking that he is really "Strong Dad." [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 00:14, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* (Picking up on above point).. I'd asume this implies that Strong Sad et al don't realize this, like he and (ugh) "Strong Mom" had an elicit and sordid rondayview? [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 06:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
If Senor Cardgage was in [[HRFWiki:User:LesCed/Mrs._Koch|Mrs. Koch]]'s class, he would get an X on his chart for calling guys girls. &mdash;[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 9:49 13 April 2006<br />
<br />
Shouldn't Senor Cardgage's tendancy to call at guys like they are ladies be a bulleted trait, as it is one of his distinguishing characteristics? --sculptus poe<br />
:I think that's better covered in the paragraph immediately following, which includes his other speech patterns. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
Senor Cardgage does sound kind of [[Wikipedia:Oscar the Grouch|grouchy]]. [[User:Brian Barbera|Brian Barbera]] 01:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Just because he has a monotonous voice, I guess. [[Strong Mad]] is the grouchy one. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 12:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Visual similarities to Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad==<br />
Senor Cardgage has many physical features that are similar to those of Strong Bad (ie. boxing gloves and mask, no shirt, black pants, etc.) TBC obviously patterned him after Strong Bad's general appearance when they created him; however, in the Homestar Runner universe, it is possible that Strong Bad actually patterned his own appearance after Senor Cardgage. It would make sense that Little Strong Bad, after living down the street from him for a while and coming to believe that he is one of the coolest guys ever, might decide to look, act, and maybe even sound as much as possible like the good Senor. It is never stated directly this is actually the case, but it is implied in the email [[kind of cool]] when Strong Bad describes his tall, dumpy alternate self (Creepy Comb-Over Story Strong Bad) as an exact duplicate of Senor Cardgage. &mdash; [[User:Ashen|Ashen]]<br />
:I reverted the above edit from the page, but moved it here since it represented at least several minutes work for someone. Unfortunately, views on the interrelation of Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage are far from unanimous; edits are regularly made and reverted asserting either that Creepy Comb-over and he are identical and should be merged, or are separate people and should be further elaborated.<br />
:Your theory about Strong Bad adopting Cardgage's style is fun to hypothesize about. However, it represents one of our ongoing attempts to take "artifacts" of [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]]'s creative evolution and explain them into backstory or wrestle them into continuity. (See my [[Talk:geddup_noise#Rant_Re:_Reality|lengthy rant]] on the subject.) The simple explanation for the visual similarities are that Creepy Comb-over SB started as SB's imagination, then Strong Sad said the hypothetical SB described was ''like'' S. Cardgage; then TBC liked the character they had created so much they made him a "real" character and gave him a short (even noting the contradictions and confusion they had just raised&mdash;"Wait, is Senor Cardgage real!?!"). By this time the hypothetically aged SB had gotten inextricably entangled with the memory of the (assumedly real) neighbor Se'''&ntilde;'''or Cardgage, who was immediately obscured by the problematically-real product of their union, Se'''n'''or Cardgage. Thus we can have Strong Bad appear in the same [[Senorial Day|shot]] with a character that is neither his imagined self nor the actual neighbor from the past, but... ''something'' else altogether. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
So, let me get this straight. Se&ntilde;or Cardgage is the actual neighbor from the past, and Se'''n'''or Cardgage is a figment of Strong Bad's imagination? [[User:Gm1121983|Gm1121983]] 8:47 pm 17 Jan 2006<br />
:Yup, that's about the size of it. Except that Senor Cardgage moved out of imagination to H*R reality. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Have you ever heard of Occam's Razor? --[[User:208.0.20.2|208.0.20.2]] 15:08, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<s>No. What exactly is Occam's Razor? &mdash;[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 10:20 13 April 2006</s><br />
<br />
Seems to me like Senor Cardgage is to Strong Bad as Homsar is to Homestar. Maybe a better name would be stong bad?<br />
<br />
Senor Cardgage and Strong Bad are two separate characters as well as Homsar and Homestar. Course, some people believe that Senor Cardgage is really Strong Dad. &mdash;[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 17:34 20 April 2006<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, [[The Brothers Chaps]] made Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad the ''real'' Senor Cardgage. I would have thought that the real Senor Cardgage would scare me as much as [[Wikipedia:Aloysius Snuffleupagus|Snuffleupagus]] did when I was little. Senor Cardgage is a little creepy, but he's also funny. His voice cracks me up. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 01:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Hah! I'm not the only one!! (About Snuffy, I mean.) And yeah, Senor Cardgage is just plain too creepy for me to find funny. He's one of the two things on H*R that I just can't get around (the other being Li'l Brudder; I can't quite get over making fun of disabilities). &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I think the article should at least mention how similar he looks to Strong Bad, even if it doesn't give the theories to why and stuff. --MrCheeze<br />
<br />
==Vocabulary==<br />
<br />
Should Senor Cardgage's vocabulary be listed?<br />
<br />
I guess by vocabulary, you mean phrases such as "Excardon me" and "No probalo." I don't see anything wrong with listing quotes. I know there were Senor Cardgage quotes listed in the [http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Senor+Cardgage old wiki]. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]<br />
<br />
==Image of Snuffy==<br />
<br />
Do we need this image on this page, or is Brian trying to tell us that Snuffleupagus is the ''real'' Senor Cardgage, and the guy TBC are calling Senor Cardgage is actually creepy comb-over Strong Bad? &mdash;[[User:Uncle Jim|Uncle Jim]] 14:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
:No, Mr. Snuffleupagus is ''not'' Senor Cardgage. His real name is Aloysius Snuffleupagus. Brian probably added the image for a coincidence. &mdash;[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 14:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
:[[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] already removed the image. &mdash;[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 14:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Anyone could have, actually. Remember to only include verifiable H*R.com-related info on this wiki. The Fanstuff wiki is where we create and discuss fan-extention versions of the H*R corpus. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Idol? ==<br />
<br />
Should we include a reference to the fact that Strong Bad looks up to him like a father? Like during that weird fishing trip that Strong Bad says was a dream come true?<br />
:We probably should. You can just add the fact if you want, it's a wiki ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Yes, after the latest email, [[the movies]], it's becoming increasingly clear that Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage's relationship is a running gag. It should get more space on this page. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Senor based on this guy? ==<br />
<br />
It seems pretty likely to me. Take a look at these (real) commercials:<br />
*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCptzXg7xPg<br />
*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqmht0YVcJQ<br />
:Haha, those are pretty funny (but Senor Cardgage is probably not based specifically on them). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)<br />
::"If you can't get credit in my store... ''{pauses for five (very creepy) seconds}'' ...you can't get credit anywhere."<br />
::Those are even worse than D/FW area commercials. At least in D/FW they don't send chills up your spine. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 14:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hey Just thought I would mosey on over here and second that Mark Norton motion, I lived on the Ontario Side of Lake Erie in 2004 when these horrors were still just being broadcast over the television and I couldn't help but think that the two had to be related even in those early days it's just too perfect a Comparison I mean you really can't get much closer to a Senor Cardgage than this guy... especially when the guys who came up with the character used to live in the broadcast region for the commercials. They certainly are creepy especially late at night or on SA. As this is no doubt likely to draw some attention due to the large amount of crossover between the SA, YT, and HS audiences. I was thinking something like this could go up on the Senor Cardgage page if people are cool with that.<br />
<br />
"Comparisons can be drawn between Senor Cardgage, and real life furniture salesman Mark Norton who is known for his odd ball late night television advertisements. Usually seen between the hours of 1 and 3 A.M. on the Cleveland FOX affiliate which broadcasts into the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, South Eastern Ontario, and other regions surrounding Lake Erie."<br />

I think Senor Cardgage should have a random quote, like [[Homsar]] does. Just think of the potential! Am I left? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
:No, I think you are right. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

In [[kind of cool]], when Strong Sad first says Senor Cardgage's name, he pronounces it as if the ~ is on the n. Is this important, or have you already pointed it out?--Uhh...Lifty...Fernandez 19:19, 5 December 2008 (UTC)<br />

<br />
[[Image:Can_of_Peas.png|thumb|100px|{{cardgagequote}}]]<br />
__NOTOC__<br />
'''Senor Cardgage''' first appeared in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[kind of cool]]. He is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from [[The Brothers Strong]] when they were little, whose extreme sketchiness gave [[Strong Sad]] nightmares. He resembles [[Strong Bad]] somewhat, both sharing a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head, green eyes, pinkish torso, boxing gloves for hands and black pants. However, he's much taller than Strong Bad. He has a round head, wears glasses, a [[mustache|beard]], and has a comb-over lock of brownish hair on the top of his head. Senor Cardgage also has a flabby belly and much longer arms. His feet are simply black, suggesting they are covered by his [[pants]].<br />
<br />
Senor Cardgage now runs [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage|his own mortgage business]] as well as a [[Senorial Day|used car dealership]], in addition to having a job as an [[the movies|usher]]. He has also tried to market a lawn mower as an "[[concert#Easter Eggs|Intregway]]" and apparently has his own brand of shoes called "Air Cardgage", which appeared in [[diorama]]. His name is pronounced "[[Senor|Seh-nor]]", not "Seh-nyor", because his name is spelled with an "N" rather than an "[[Wikipedia:Ñ|Ñ]]". He is apparently [[Left Handedness#Ambidextrous Characters|ambidextrous]].<br />
<br />
Some of his traits include:<br />
* Suspiciously coming out of [[Weird Shrub|bushes and shrubs]] just as you walk by.<br />
* Pronouncing words incorrectly (for example, he pronounces the word "loans", "lawns").<br />
* Always carrying an old plastic [[Aldi Bag|Aldi grocery bag]] of mysterious contents.<br />
* Loudly eating melty [[Zagnut Bars|chocolate bars]] while standing too close to you in lines.<br />
* Smelling like [[Peas|pea soup]] (according to [[Homestar Runner]]).<br />
* Speaking in phrases that are described by Strong Bad as "[[portmanteaus|almost one word and not quite another]]," such as "excardon me" and "exobably not". <br />
* "Calling at you as if you were a lady," [[Gender Confusion|regardless of your gender]]. <br />

Strong Bad seems to look up to Senor Cardgage as sort of an idol or a father figure. He is constantly heard remarking on how cool he believes Senor Cardgage is and how he wishes to be that cool. In [[Senorial Day]], Strong Bad asks Senor to autograph his football and throw it to him. In [[alternate universe]], he says that his life is complete after going on a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage, and expresses joy at the thought of Senor adopting him. When he sees Senor as an usher in [[the movies]], he tells [[The Cheat]] that "someday [he's] going to be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest." Senor also played [[Dadgeresque]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].<br />
[[Image:Dadgeresque.PNG|thumb|left|"Hey, Brethany. Are you came to fetch the dodgers?"]]<br />
<br />
However, none of the other characters seem to like him. In particular, Strong Sad still harbors fear against Senor Cardgage as evidenced in [[garage sale]]. Strong Mad also ran away in terror when Senor Cardgage asked him to retrieve his spectacles. And of course, Homestar seems annoyed with Senor Cardgage for standing too close to him in line while eating melty candy bars, and is put off by his odd catchphrases (as well as thinking he smells like pea soup).<br />
[[Image:Candy product alley.png|thumb|Senor's possible residence]]<br />
Even though he has a car dealership and his own mortgage company, his residence is unknown. It is suggested in [[Senorial Day]] and [[candy product]] that he is homeless, as he is shown in an [[alleyway]] sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his [[Wikipedia:Aldi|Aldi]] bag as a pillow, although in the email [[kind of cool]] Strong Bad implied that he lives behind a bush. Strong Sad said that Senor Cardgage lived down the street when they were little, implying he had a house at one point; however, there is no proof of this or of his current residence, if any. Although it is implied that he is poor, he offers to buy Strong Sad a can of peas at [[Strong Bad]]'s [[garage sale]] for $99, and then proceeds to walk away with it, supposedly paying, even though he is never seen to do so. A possible solution to this conflict has been shown in an Easter egg from the email [[love poems]], where it is revealed that Senor Cardgage has written a book called ''The Homeless Romantic'': "verses from the weird shrub and alarming recipes for brunswick stew".<br />
<br />
When Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff in the email [[kind of cool]], he describes Senor Cardgage who is, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that he is] cool". Strong Bad tries to represent what he would be like if he was an ugly, dumpy guy with a bad comb-over, and it turns out his fictional character actually existed and lived down the street from the Brothers Strong during their youth.<br />
<br />
As shown in a commercial in [[theme song]], Senor Cardgage got fourteen degrees in the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU Online E-niversity]] during his lunch "take", including one that lets him "legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica". He also runs a day care called [[Papa Cardgage's Puddin' Patch]].<br />
<br />
Senor Cardgage recently lost a Non Sequitur Championship to the equally bizarre character [[Homsar]]. As the loser of the contest, he had to complete a coherent sentence on [[The Show]] (as documented in the short [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]). He failed twice, but his third attempt ("Grape Soda Banked") was judged successful by "<s>celebrity</s> judge" Strong Sad.<br />

:::In no part of my response did i not assume good faith. It's just that wondering about when there's going to be an update is not constructive to the knowledge base, and therefore continuing to do so is a waste of wiki resources. There IS a place where people can wonder about homestar-related things all they want, and that is the forum.

<div>==Dates==<br />
Does each article really need a date? What about those with an unknown date? Also, if anyone knows of an interview not listed here, along with a webpage it's located at, feel free to add it! ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔Thunderbird⇔</font>]]</tt>'' 01:35, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yeah, I think we should keep the dates. Also, every interview from [[Sightings]] needs to be added here. &rarr;''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>''<br />
<br />
::Interviews yes, but remember that this page is ONLY for conversations with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. If they don't have a part in it, it's just a sighting. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔Thunderbird⇔</font>]]</tt>'' 01:52, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
I really do find it annoying that we can't just enter "<nowiki>[[Late Nite JengaJam Interview]]</nowiki>" and not be done with it. Sure, ''there are'' redirects, but I like to link using an article's exact name for consistency. That, and it makes the title awkward-looking. Since we do have occurrences where the same group interviews The Brothers Chaps more than once, why can't we title it with a "Interview (Year)" title scheme? That way we don't need to go back and find every title to the articles. And for multiple interviewing sessions, it'll make it easier to just enter the year and not the whole date when it took place. --[[Special:Contributions/75.41.212.228|75.41.212.228]] 23:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
:It does make it easy to find out exactly what date the interview took place on, however. I should also point out that this discussion is over three years old. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)<br />

==Name Of Page==<br />

Hmm... I didn't realize, there's already a catagory for 'Interviews and Public Appearances'. Whatever the name for this page, I feel it should be the same for the catagory too.

So, are we allowed to just... copy the transcript and paste it in (w/ formatting)? [[User:Ed smildE|<font face="tw cen mt">E<small>D</small>S<small>MILDE</small></font>]]<br />
<br />
:I could be wrong, but I don't see why not, as long as the source is External Link'D at the bottom. But BE SURE TO PROOFREAD IT FIRST, to ensure to 'block out' any profanity that may be there.

Oh. Seems as though the general opinions down on the next conversation says no censoring. I don't really care all too much, it's up to everybody else.

==Transcribing Interviews==<br />
I'm not sure it's such a good idea to just put transcriptions of all those interviews done for websites here. Isn't that stealing content? <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 04:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />

:Alright, I've tentatively moved all the 'Links' Interviews here, haven't sorted them yet though, to which were origionally Radio, Website, ect. But anyways, they're there, from what I can tell the 'Inkhole' one is down, (hence the reason to get them doubled up here). So basically, we just copy and paste the dialouge onto the new pages for them, censor some words, add a few Fun Facts, tidbits of info revealed by the Interview, ect. I'll try and help with this if I ever get time off. And so once this is all up and running, we can delete those from the 'Links' page, and use it to somehow clean up the 'Sightings' page somewhat. How does everbody feel about this? Any comments/concerns/questions? I'd love to hear from you. Heck, I don't even know if I'm doing this right... (Coder, I'm not sure either, but we'd already done it with the 'Pulse Interview', ect. Plus doesn't it fall under the same catagory of Mirroring a toon? We have those. Does anybody with Legal expertice have an answer for us?) ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔Thunderbird⇔</font>]]</tt>'' 04:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::It's not exactly the same territory as mirroring a toon. I think, by now, it's safe to assume that the Bros. Chaps are aware of mirroring of H*R content and they haven't had a problem with it yet that I've heard of. Other websites are untested. Some of these websites might want to keep the interviews as their own, exclusive content. For instance, a site that has ads would want you to visit their actual page rather than read the content here. Of course, we could contact the websites, or put them up anyway and take them down if someone complains. <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 05:22, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />

:::Here's you're legal advice (but note that I'm Canadian so things might vary in the states): You'll have to checkthe Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, and any other Legal Notices on the site. 1.If '''''anywhere''''' on the site does it say that a exclusive content is their property and cannot be copied, than y must link to the actual site. 2.If it also says that they do not want anyone linking to their site (I've seen it happen), than you're out of luck. However, if the information is not exclusive, but every ''directly'' involved party has restriction 1 than you must link to one of their sites. If they all contain both restrictions 1&2, youare out of luck. But, if one of the parties DO NOT state restriction 1, than you may copy/mirror their content under fair use, as long as you are not profiting spicificly from that content. Also, if all the links pointing to the content you wish to mirror has be removed for a period of time (I believe it is 2 years but I may be wrong), than I believe you may be legally allowed to mirror the content no matter what the policies state. BUT I may be wrong on that, you'll have to research that yours to be sure. -- <tt><sub><span style="color:#cc3333;">Posted by:</span></sub> [[User:-erson|<span style="color:#000066;">-erson</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:-erson|<span style="color:#cc3333;">Talk</span>]]</sup></tt> 12:33, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />

::If we are going to use swear words, which isn't ''that'' bad, but could be almost crossing the line for a family friendly site, we could make, say if the interview was called "TBC Interview, 20X6", a censored page at "TBC Interview, 20X6 (censored)", which would have a notice at the top of page saying there is an uncensored version or something. Then on "TBC Interview, 20X6 (uncensored)", we would have a notice saying something, in bold and large text: "WARNING: This page contains coarse language. To see a censored version, go to [[TBC Interview, 20X6 (censored)]]". So basically two pages, a censored and uncensored version. Oh, and we should always link to the censored version from other pages (not the uncensored one), so the only link to the uncensored version is from the censored page's notice at the top, so the uncensored version isn't easy to stumble across.

==Copyrighted Interviews==<br />
<br />
Has anybody actually e-mailed any of the sites, asking for permission? Or should I just go down through the list, and e-mail everyone asking? I think just one person doing them all at the same time with a template e-mail would be a good idea. (Also feel free to give ideas for the email. If we all work together, we'll be able to come up with the best asking-permission email ever).

On the interviews where we are denied permission to paste a transcript, like for example [[retroCRUSH_Interview|this one]], how about we give a brief overview and list some of the things they talked about, both to round out the article and to spur an interest in clicking the external link. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:52, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

:Actually, since the last two I've asked BOTH said no, that did occur to me. In fact, I had already decided that once I finished this section (I have the tasks itemised on my userpage) I was gonna add an extra section to all the interviews pages, perhaps called 'Highlights' or something, and breifly point out the insights that we get from the interview, an overview of the timeperiod, ect. Glad to see we're on the same page. This section has been in dis-repair too long. I'm on a crusade to finish it, hopefully within a week or two.

:I know I know, I'm working on it. If anyone wants to format the interviews that have the okay, go for it. Mainly I'm just going through them all, cutting the red tape, and once I've got all the answers from the legal departments, then I'll format, fun fact them, ect. All the bells and whistles to get them all standardized.

...As for the interview date, it was two years ago, so I don't remember. But<br />
the publish date as shown in the story on Wired.com is 6/23/2003, so the<br />
interview itself must have been within a few days before that.<br />

As a very new reader and hopeful user, I found [http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,59261,00.html this link] confirming that the interview is dated June 23, 2003. Although I didn't feel comfortable starting the Wired interview information page yet, I will be happy to email the author and work this page. --[[User:Sgleason|S Gleason]] 21:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Censored Templates==<br />
I've created two new templates. For the uncensored page, put [[Template:uncensored|<nowiki>{{uncensored|censoredversion=NAME OF CENSORED VERSION PAGE}}</nowiki>]] at the top, and it will add:<br />
<br />
{{uncensored|censoredversion=NAME OF CENSORED VERSION PAGE}}<br />

:I like 'em. You can put them up if you want, or I'll do them once I'm finished with the general pages. I'm still working on getting all the pages up and running, cut the red tape and all, and mainly figuring out how to get the 'red' interviews, the ones where the links don't work. Once those are done I'll tidy the rest of this up, get 'em standardized and whatnot. But any ideas on the broken links? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 08:03, 21 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />

:::No, don't worry, I'm not that inept. I meant the interviews that don't currently have a page, such as the Run Devil Run interview, the Brunswick interview, ones like that. Once those are all found, asked for, and subsequently added or linked from within the page, then I'll start worrying about fixing them all nice and standardized.

== Pulse - Early 2004 (Video Missing) ==<br />
<br />
I remember watching that. It was there that they introduced their workroom painted as Strong Bad's house ([[Making of Email 100]] was not the first appearance). They showed Puppet Homestar and Puppet [[Doreauxgard]] (so far, his only appearance) sitting on their puppet stands. <s>They also played basketball with the interviewer (I believe the same place as seen in [[Some Puppet Stuff]]), and Matt taunted... or tried to aid... (I remember something about "keep it loose") either Mike or the interviewer while they were shooting free throws with Strong Bad's voice.</s> &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:11, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

I posted a question in the G4 forum for "Pulse" about a month ago, and just today got this email reply. I don't know if it's what we're looking for, but here goes anyways:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Hello,<br><br />
<br><br />
I just read the post your made in our forums a month ago regarding the Homestar<br><br />
Runner appearances on our show Pulse. While I cannot locate two different videos<br><br />
from Pulse, I did find one containing extra video footage that was not aired on<br><br />
the show. You can find it here:<br><br />

==Finishing Up The Page==<br />
<br />
I recently went over all known interviews again, the ones I couldn't get ahold of before I reasked and everything, hopefully this time around they'll all answer, and we can get this section finished. In any case, I made up stub pages for all the copyrighted interviews. If anybody wants to get to work on the only remaining interview, go ahead. If not, it's at least on my to-do list. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:14, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Okay, last remaining interview is transcribed. Now we need standardization, and transcription of [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]]. We need the censored pages finished, I think there's one or two that need the treatment. And we need some kind of transcript standard. Do we write '''MATT CHAPMAN''' everytime, or just the first time, and leave it at '''MATT''' for the rest? I think a ''Highlights'' or ''Brief Summary and Random Facts'' section at the bottom of all the pages would be a nice touch, kind of an expanded ''Fun Facts''. We also need standards for the opening paragraph, I think who conducted the interview, when, and the main things they talked about should work fine. I already added pictures to all the pages, asked permission for all the interviews, and added them to H*R.com updates. Anything else that I'm missing in order to finish these pages up? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:42, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

im just curious how you guys always record the interviews, i mean do you write down everything they say while they are presenting stuff? in public? does a homestar wiki peron go to the public appearance and just copy everything they are sayong abd take pics and come back an upload everything?<br />

<br />
I wouldn't expect it to be added in either. The main navbar at the bottom is one flash file linked to from all (most) pages, as are the now 4 buttons at the top of main pages. In mp22 and virus, the navbar is not separate, since it interacts with the main toon. They'd have to go back and edit both mp22 and virus to add that 'rando' link.<br />

::Just for anyone interested, here's some "Amazing Rando" soundbytes: [http://members.tripod.com/~Rover_Wow/mstwavs.htm mst3k wavs]. Looks like the Amazing Rando ([http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0773556/ Rando Schmook]) was a set designer on MST3k - The Movie. Too bad this is all pure speculation, and not enough to warrant being a legit fact.--[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 13:35, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I also think it's a reference to Amazing Rando (who once did battle with Eastman!). There was the Tom Servo in "A Jorb Well Done," so TBC probably do watch MST3K... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:05, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
TBC also referenced MST3K in an interview. {{User:Trogga/sig}}<br />

== Ding~! ==<br />
<br />
Is it just me, or does the sound that the Main Page's selector make when it lands on one sound kinda fammiliar? I can't put my finger on anything, but I swear I've heard either that sound or a very similar one in something else.<br />
<br />
And yes, I'm aware that this kind of sound effect is fairly genetic. But this particular one still sounds very fammiliar. <br />
<br />
-[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]<br />
<br />
:I want to say that it is similar to the sound effects from Street Fighter 2, when you enter another credit and continue the game...Or something like that. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 13:31, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It's definitely from a video game. I think it's the sound from Metal Gear for NES when you start a new game.. it's some sort of "game start"/"character selection" sound from some game. [[User:socetew|socetew]] 10.17.5<br />
<br />
I just checked on ROMs of both Street Fighter 2 and Metal Gear that I had handy. The sound is quite similar to the Metal Gear one, but still distinct from both of 'em. It's definately in that vein, though. -[[User:67.22.197.57|67.22.197.57]]<br />

== Random Email ==<br />
*Anyone else not see the Random Email feature? I see the random toon one, just not the email version. I use Mozilla, and my Internet Explorer has it on there... what's going on? Is it just me not knowing about computers? --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 23:42, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
**Same thing happened to me. Try clearing the cashe, (Ctr + F5), on the Strong Bad Email Menu, and look in the top right. If you have the new Scroll Button Rap, then it should be there. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:45, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
***Weird, I tried and it didn't work... have any other ideas? Thanks. =) (Never mind, got it! Thanks one million!)--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 00:32, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Glitches==<br />
<br />
TBC sure fixed those glitches fast. Am I the only one who thinks they may have been watching our debugging, and fixing everything we meantioned? Dunno, could just be me, but it sure feels like we helped them out somehow. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:45, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yeah, I [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=183566#183566 thought that]... {{User:phlip/sig}} 00:55, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Yep, expecially the too-long name ones. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''<br />
<br />
==Main Page==<br />
<br />
Since this has now been included on the Main Page, Alongside both Legal and Sketchbook, this page should probably be linked somewhere on our main page. We do have far more minor articles, such as 'Legal'. But can anybody decide exactly where? I'm thinking either after Legal or Museum in the list at the very top, or alongside 'Weeklies' and change the name to something like 'Top Button Menu' or something. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 13:02, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I think it would work best amough the "Weeklies," but I'm not sure what that categories new name would be. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''<br />
<br />
::''Roll Over Buttons'' or ''Featured Buttons'' maybe? I dunno. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:58, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==New Toons==<br />
I see that we've already noted that [[Commandos in the Classroom]] isn't listed in the XML file. Shouldn't we give them a grace period of at least a couple of hours (I'm thinking more like a few days) before we nitpick them on this? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:59, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Yeah, I think a grace period is in order. They can't be expected to do everything right off the bat. They may be the Brothers Chaps, but they're still only human. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
::Are they gonna need to shorten it? (The title) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:00, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::My thinking when I added that fact was simply - it's not there now, which is notable now. If and when it is added later, provided it doesn't take absurdly long, it will no longer be notable and should just be removed (if it does take a rather long time then maybe have it go through STUFF with the appropriate dates). Also, as for the "couple of hours" thing, it has been a good 2 days... {{User:phlip/sig}} 23:47, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::Wait... I just saw the date on IDC's message and checked the history... it seems you were talking about Venusy's addition [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Random_Toon&diff=143507&oldid=143486 here] rather than the fact I just recently added to the [[Commandos in the Classroom]] page... never mind then. {{User:phlip/sig}} 23:50, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Decemberween In July Titles==<br />
<br />
I just noticed a toon on the list, titled [[That Time of Year]]. This is [[TBC]]'s title for [[Decemberween Kids' Book]]. Which means we should probably move it. Which got me thinking, what are the titles for all the other Decemberween In July Toons they got in the XML list? Are we gonna have to move several of them? Did they even include the Decemberween in July easter egg toons (Seasonal Sweaters and Santaman ones I belive) in the Random Toons list? Some kinda meantion of this special case, (Spliting up the main Toons menu Toon into five or six sub-toons for the random toons list) should probably be made. Anyways, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:10, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:After further investigation, it seems that the only anomaly is [[That Time of Year]], with the possible exception of flipping around the titles to [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]] and [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. But we should probably move [[Decemberween Kids' Book]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:24, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Added Section / Page==<br />
<br />
Should we add a new page or section for the entire XML list, basically a cleaned up list of the following, with links, to all the toons in the random selection. Or does this violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]]? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:20, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I thought about doing this on [[Secret Pages]], like the weeklies XML is, but this is a lot longer than that... If we're going to do it it should be a seperate page, or a subpage or something, rather than a section of this page, but I'm not sure if it needs doing... Still, I'll pretty up this list to save you the effort if you decide to do it... {{User:phlip/sig}} 00:16, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />

==Virus?==<br />
<br />
Should we mention that there still is no random button with the little grey links in [[virus]], or should we just consider that as part of the toon itself? [[User:JimmyEatPage|JimmyEatPage]] 05:13, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:That is mentioned. See the section on [[Random Toon#Navigation Bar|the navigation bar]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:33, 18 September 2005 (BST)<br />
<br />
== Strong Bad Emails... ==<br />
<br />
I was thinking: Since SBemails appear way too often on the random toon thing (this wouldn't be a problem to me but he's got his very own randomiser) maybe we should all keep mailing TBC in a wasted effort to convince them to remove the SBemails from the random toon button.<br />
<br />
I would've thought that it were be there to give the other toons a chance to shine.<br />
:Why would we want to do that? I like it the way it is. (I just wish they'd add those new toons.) If you want to watch something that isn't an email, simply press "Again" if you get an email. You'll get something different soon enough. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Has anyone else noticed that some randoms seem to be... well, more than random? I seem to get the "Band Names" sbemail once every 3 or 4 clicks on random...<br />
:It's probably a coincidence. No need to worry. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Random Toon not-so-random? ==<br />
<br />
Has anyone else noticed that sometimes random seems to be... well, not very random? I seem to get the "Band Names" sbemail once every 3 or 4 clicks on random...<br />
<br />
:No, it's random, that would be a coincidence. See [[Forum:5495|this forum thread]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I know what you mean. To me it seems that whatever I get for my first or second try, i get it again a few tried later. but i think its coincidence, like he said. --{{User:Salty/sig}} 01:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'd like to see the actionscript code... isn't it detailed here somewhere? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Maybe it's just me, but it seems that I get the older emails (numbers 1-40) much more frequently than i get any of the other emails. Maybe it's just coincidence though. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 17:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
This is slightly off subject, but the wiki's random page thing is definitely not random. The one right over there on the left. {{User:Salty/sig}} 18:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I seem to get sbemails more often than anything else. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Well, given that there's 106 non-emails and 154 emails in rando.xml, that makes sense... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
::I seem to get sbemails, answering machines, and puppet stuff all the time.<br />
:::Me, those and Teen Girl Squads. But, what is there the most of? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Most computer algorithms used to generate "random" numbers are quite bad. For starters, they don't generate truly random numbers, but [[Wikipedia:Pseudorandom number generator|pseudo random numbers]] that only ''appear'' to be random. To make those numbers somewhat more random, programmers can for example incorporate the milliseconds part of the current time. But even then, the question remains how well distributed these numbers will be, or if there will be clusters in the sbemail range for example. As a programmer, I can tell you that it's not worth the hassle writing a good pseudo random number generator just for a random toon feature.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==I Don't Follow?==<br />
<br />
<strike>This could just be a glitch or something, but when I press the random.bat, it doesn't follow the hilighted selection. The screen stays at the same spot, and you might see an email hilighted for a second as the selection goes by, but it doesn't follow it like it used to/shound. anybody get what I'm saying, and is the same thing happening for anybody else? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)</strike><br />
<br />
'''Edit:''' Never mind, I shoulda checked the glitches section of the page first. ABP'd! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Rando.xml==<br />
<br />
Has anybody noticed that the rando.xml file has vanished? It's causes the rando buttons and the E-mail page to not work. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 13:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==The Mysterious Disappearing Rando!==<br />
<br />
'''File not found'''<br />
<br />
Firefox can't find the file at /rando.swf.<br />
<br />
*Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.<br />
*Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.<br />
<br />
Right now, May 26, at 2:34 AM EST, rando.swf DOES NOT EXIST on the Homestar Runner website. They probably have it down for maintenence or something, but it might be worth noting its sudden disappearance somewhere. This means that clicking on the random toon button on any main page currently does absolutely nothing,.<br />
<br />
It seems that the navbar has disappeared, as well. Odd. It'll probably be back soon, but why take it off to begin with?<br />
{{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 06:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:It's still there for me... Are you sure you're looking on the right site? If it really was taken down, you'd probably get [[404'd]] rather than that generic message... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Wait, that message you got is the builtin Firefox one... it's what you'd get if you typed just '''/rando.swf''' into the Address bar instead of the full http://www.homestarrunner.com/rando.swf. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== New and improved ==<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed the Random bar has been improved? See the random bar on any main page, and look at it on this page. They've added 0's at the back. My question: Should we update the image? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 21:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Hmm? I dun see. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::Here's an image if you no see: [[Image:The Randomiser2.PNG]] {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 21:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::'''REVIVE'd!!!:''' Well, this has been around for a while, but I wanted to bring it up again since it really wasn't decided how we should update the page to include this. A quick look at the Page Info show that it was last modified on Sunday, April 02, 2006. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 18:35, 6 August 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Whoops! ==<br />
<br />
They added the Deleted Scene toon, but they linked it to An Important Rap Song. Worth noting? Probably. --{{User:Color Printer/sig}} 02:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:And how many times did you have to click to get to this? [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 02:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Two words: XML file. --{{User:Color Printer/sig}} 02:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::Okay, so that proves that you have even less of a life given that you routinely go through the xml files... [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 02:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
::::...Jeez...that was, like, the first time I've looked at that in, like, A YEAR. And it was just something random I decided to do. --{{User:Color Printer/sig}} 02:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Twenty THANXty Six ==<br />
<br />
Why is it called 20 THANXty 6 in the random toon pop-up? I don't think that "Twenty THANXty Six" is too long for the box. --{{User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!}} 16:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Random_ToonRandom Toon2009-02-23T02:29:28Z<p>Erwin Morland: Random Toon moved to Random Toon on Wheels</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:The Randomiser.gif|frame|'Round and 'round it goes...where it stops nobody knows...]]<br />
==Random Toon Button==<br />
The '''Random Toon Button''' was added to the main pages alongside [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and [[Sketchbook]] on September 12, 2005 and can be accessed by clicking the button labeled ''R''. It loads a random [[Toon]], [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], or [[Teen Girl Squad]]. If you don't like the selection it comes up with, you can press the "again" button on the left side of the box before you are redirected, which will restart the selection process. You can also press the "close" button on the right of the box to abort the selection.<br />
<br />
==random.bat==<br />
A similar button was also added to the top right of the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu on September 12, 2005, along with a [[Scroll Button Song]] referencing it. It is labeled "random.bat" and appears in the top-right corner of the computer screen. Pressing it causes the menu to select several random emails in sequence. When it is done, it loads the last random email it picked. [[Strong Bad]] says one of several things when it's activated:<br />
<br />
*'''STRONG BAD:''' Brrrrrrakatakatakataka...ta..ka...tick...tick... Brring!<br />
*'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{higher pitched and louder}'' Lakalakalakalaka... tuck... tuck... tuck... tuck... ''{low pitched}'' Bong.<br />
*'''STRONG BAD:''' How 'bout this one? Donk. ''{a random email is then picked without a roulette of emails}''<br />
*'''STRONG BAD:''' Broooodagadagadaga..da..ga..da...ga... Doosh.<br />
<br />
==Navigation Bar== <br />
The random toon button was also added to the navigation bar at the bottom of every page. It reads "rando". It doesn't show the roulette box, simply jumping straight to another toon. Thus far, this has not been added to the special navbars of [[Main Page 22]] or [[virus]], since the navbar is part of the .swf. On most of the toons, they use main_nav.swf.<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Some of the names of toons were too long for the Main Page random box, leaving the last few letters cut off. They were soon renamed to fit.<br />

<br />
*The Random toon button also resulted in [[The Brothers Chaps]] formatting all the puppet stuff to html format.<br />
<br />
===Remarks=== <br />
* When the rando link in the navigation bar loads a Puppet Stuff, it is placed on a light blue background. This is because a Puppet Stuff is layered over another page, but the rando link doesn't work with this. The Random Toon button on the Main Pages does allow an external Flash link to be layered over them, so a Puppet Stuff is layered over them.<br />
* ".bat" is the filename extension for [[Wikipedia:Batch file|batch files]], which are text files with a series of commands intended to be executed by the [[Wikipedia:DOS|MS-DOS]] or [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] command interpreters.<br />
* While "random.bat" is running, you can still click on the names of the various Strong Bad Emails as they flash on the screen.<br />
*Shortly after being released, a number of minor changes were made to the randomizer. '''The following issues were resolved:'''<br />
**[[Decemberween Puppet Style]] and [[Homestar vs. Little Girl]] (the two [[Decemberween In July]] puppet toons) were not originally included in the random list. There was just a comment in the XML file reading "<tt><nowiki><!--note to add puppet dween!--></nowiki></tt>", reminding [[The Brothers Chaps]] to add them.<br />
**[[Labor Dabor]] didn't originally work, as the urls for the html and swf files were reversed in the XML.<br />
**If you clicked the '''R''' button on the main page more than once (either after closing the randomizer box or while it was up), and it picked a Strong Bad Email, the email number in the URL would be larger than the correct number by the number of Strong Bad Emails (it would redirect you to something like [[HR:sbemail405.html|sbemail405.html]]). This was because it kept a counter of the emails as it read the email names from the XML file, and when you clicked the '''R''' again it re-read the list without resetting the counter.<br />
*** [[flashback]] was immune to this problem, as it has a different URL from the others (to distinguish it from [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], which itself is not in the XML list)<br />
**The Random Toon machine didn't have the "&" or "_" symbols embedded, so [[lures & jigs]] was shown as "SBEMAIL: LURES&nbsp;&nbsp;JIGS" and [[sb_email 22]] was displayed as "SBEMAIL: SBEMAIL 22".<br />
*Often the new toons are delayed being added to the XML list, and therefore will not yet be selected randomly. Currently, these are:<br />
**[[Commandos in the Classroom]]<br />
**[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]<br />
**[[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]]<br />
* In the XML code, the newest email has the code: new="yup" after it.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] links to [[An Important Rap Song]].<br />
*[[Date Nite]] links to [[Strongest Man in the World]].<br />
<br />
===Fixed Goofs===<br />
*On Monday, January 9, 2006, when the Scroll Button Rap was updated, a new bug was introduced to random.bat: the screen would not automatically scroll to the e-mails as they are selected by the roulette. This was later fixed.<br />
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] used to appear as "Strongest Man in the Worldk" in the randomizer. This has since been fixed.<br />
*[[The Next Epi-Snowed]] was originally listed in the XML file as <code>ccd06.html</code> instead of <code>[[HR:ccdo6.html|ccdo6.html]]</code>. This was later fixed.<br />
<br />
=== Inside References === <br />
*One of the 'random.bat' raps ends with ''Doosh''. ''Doosh'' was also used in [[The System Is Down (song)|The System Is Down]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*"Rando" is a possible reference to "[[Wikipedia:Mystery_Science_Theater_3000:_The_Movie|Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie]]", in which "The Amazing Rando" is a recurring joke throughout the end credits sequence.<br />

==Fun Facts==<br />
* The font used in the captions is [[Fonts#Bauhaus 93|Bauhaus 93]], the same font used on [[Homsar]]'s shirt.<br />
* Sketchbook entries often feature ideas considered for or used in toons that had been recently released.<br />
* If you click the "s" button repeatedly while it is still loading, the caption will move up the box. The more times you click it, the farther the text will move.<br />
* Until August 9, 2007, the Sketchbook of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record.<br />

::Actually, I like that idea, better than my own as well. Weekly Sketchbook matches the rest of the weekly updates, and is probably easier to change the links for.

== "Tableization" ==<br />
<br />
I'm glad there's finally a table for this section (as well as the weekly fanstuff.) The images being different sizes before the tables wasn't a necessarily a bad thing, I just thought it detracted from the page slightly. The use of tables did force those images that were on other sites (namely photobucket) to be uploaded to the wiki, which is a plus. I think must of us can agree that it looks better than before. <br />

:Since the very beginning, we've always treated the text and image as one. That's how they appear, so that's how we've been reproducing them. And the additional text is for better searching.

Shouldn't this still be under simply a 'Sketchbook' page title? Perhaps it would make more sense to move The Museum Sketchbook to just that, a 'Museum Sketchbook' page or something. I mean, when you roll over the button on the main page, all that pops up under it is just 'Sketchbook'. We're not going to change the name of 'Quote of the Week' to just 'Weekly Quote' are we?

:::::Okay, I updated the page with the info Coder found. And if anybody could zoom in and read that floppy or anything, that would be awsome. And after careful cross-scruiteny, it appears that the computer used in the Sketchbook is indeed the same used by the [[Videlectrix]] people, even on the same desk. The one difference is that the logo on the keyboard (I think it was the Apple logo) is strangely absent from the [[Videlectrix]] photo. Most likely to avoid any possible legal problems and simplify it up, since they were photoshopping the [[Peasant's Quest]] image onto the screen anyways. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:43, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Consistency in dates ==<br />
<br />
I just noticed that the date abbreviations in this page are not consistent. In general I have seen pages use 3 letter abbreviations.

== Commas vs. Periods ==<br />
<br />
I'll grant that commas and periods are barely distinguishable from each other in the caption font. But you can tell the difference by looking very closely. Commas have the smallest tail imaginable. Compare:<br />

== poopertrooper? ==<br />
<br />
On the page, it says "poopertrooper" is a reference to Super Troopers. I think it's more likely it's a refernce to pooper scoopers. -[[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 23:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I thought of "pooper scooper" when I first saw it. Super Troopers, to me, seems a lot more unlikely. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

[[IMDB:tt0247745|Super Troopers]] is a movie about state troopers, who's uniform is nowhere near to what the poopsmith wears. In science fiction, stromtroopers dress in a similar way to The Poopsmith. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

I vote Super Troopers. Its about police. The stormtrooper Poopsmith is obviously a form of police. Referencing pooperscoopers makes *no* contextual sense. I'm changing it back. [[User:Piscez]]<br />
<br />
:Here's what bugs me. When you say, "this '''is''' a reference to..." you are stating something is fact. In this case, we all have our opinions, and each think ours are correct. The fact '''is''' that none of were there when TBC sketched this out and don't have a flippin' clue what they were refering to. Therefore, I propose the following revision:<br />
==== Pooper Trooper Scooper Dooper Blooper ====<br />
Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or the [[wikipedia:George_Lucas|George Lucas']] [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]].<br />
<br />
{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
In general, users here seem to think "refers to" means "resembles". IRF is right; only TBC know for sure about what's a reference. Some are obvious, but I'm sure there are a lot of references we'll never get. And then there are a lot of things that resemble other things but TBC never were trying to refer to that thing. I think as a knowledge base we need to be a bit more conservative in how we decide references. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 12:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
''Stormtroopers'' seems the most obvious reference. Not the George Lucas kind, but rather the Hitler/Orwell kind. (Those of you who are still somewhat whippersnapperesque should be aware that the term predated ''Star Wars'' by a great many years.) Most of the other suggested references seem to be simple attempts to match up same or similar sounding words, rather than considering the actual ''context''. {{User:Bill/sig}} 17:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Storm troopers is what I was saying all along. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
ok then ''Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]] (from [[wikipedia:World_War_I|WWI]]).''<br />
<br />
either way, its still spec at best, and in response to Bill, the usage of pooper cannot be ignored why else would TBC go from The Poopsmith to pooper if not trying to make a ryhme such as Super Trooper or refer to the legendary pooper scooper. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:For the rhyme, perhaps. Just because the rhyme is funny. Doesn't have to be a reference to pooper or super. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
My two cents: Pooper Scooper and Stormtrooper are both meaningful enough to be included. "Super Trooper" and "Koopa Troopa" are both based on "Stormtrooper" and, thus, unnecessary. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Ahem. I would Like to add at this point that the Koopa Troopas were the second most common enemies (next to goombas) in the original Super Mario Bros., which came out BEFORE Star Wars: A New Hope. So if anything, Stormtroopers are based off of Koopa Troopas. (Very, very unlikely.) --{{User:The very strongest}} 12:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:See my retraction above, storm troopers is a term that refers to certain soldiers at the end of WWI, which is pre-television. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Super Suudsu Me ==<br />

Feels like the 5-month-old suudsu is a reference to the French fry aging experiment in [[Wikipedia:Super Size Me|Super Size Me]].

:I haven't seen it either, but the fact that this was posted five months to the day after [[bedtime story]] was released says to me that nobody actually ''drank'' the suudsu or dumped it out, and it's just been sitting there. It actually reminds me of the old clichè of the guy with the extremely dirty bedroom finally trying to clean it up and pulling out a half-eaten sandwich or burrito from under the bed and exclaiming "So ''that's'' what happened to my sandwich [burrito]." And by then it's covered with mold and he's got to shoo a [[Gavin|roach]] or two away from it before he touches it. The only specific example I can think of right now is from [[Wikipedia:Even Stevens]] (the episode where a haz mat team is needed to clean Louis's room and he has to sleep in Donnie's room.

It says that's some kind of female coaz Z with a 3 instead of a Z is in this week's sketchbook... But it's clearly Homeschool winner's symbol! And I guess this means this is an alternate verion of Coach Z who'll never be used...<br />

==Sample of Style==<br />
<br />
Anyone else notice a simularity between the styles of Numba 0 Strong Sad and Droolstar Runner? They're both in a new sketchy style with lots of detail and shadow as if they were draw at the same time or for the same purpose. Not only that they're also both in a very school-type setting. Granted Homestar could be asleep anywhere, and Strong Sad could be playing professional basketball but I seriously doubt thats the case. My question is, do you guys think this is a sign of toons to come?<br />

== The Bendy Hop ==<br />
<br />
It's really not a big deal, but I feel confident enough about it to post a comment on this talk page. I think that the "bendy hop" is a particular reference to the [[Wikipedia:Lindy Hop|lindy hop]], for the following reasons: (1) the titles differ only by two letters, (2) Coach Z's pose looks strongly like a typical swing/jazz dance step, of which the Lindy Hop is probably the most famous.<br />
<br />
It was suggested that this might be more likely a reference to the [http://www.ehow.com/how_15790_bunny-hop.html bunny hop], but I question this, for the following reasons: this dance is less well-known (I base this, perhaps unjustly, on the relative size of the Wikipedia articles), and Coach Z's pose doesn't resemble the dance steps as described in the above link. (The bunny hop is a line dance involving other people and focuses on foot steps but not arm movements.) If we can rule out the bunny hop, then I don't think this fact is TTATOT, unless other candidates for "that" and "the other thing" exist. <br />
<br />
Again, it won't break my heart if this fact is not changed back to my version, but I really do think that this is a particular reference to the lindy hop. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:When I first saw the Sketchbook item and was preparing the screencap, I considered including the reference to a particular dance. But with the Lindy Ho, the Bunny Hop, and the classic song "At The Hop", and I'm sure others, I could not allow myself to attach the dance to any particular one of those. We can never know which one was the reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)<br />

== "In a river of whatsit"? ==<br />
<br />
Thats not correct at all! Come on people what is whatsit a euphamism of?<br />
:there seems to be some disagreement over whether the whatsit refers to his situation (like "I'm in deep whatsit") or the actual composition of that river.. All I know is.. eew..<br />
<br />
:: seems to me that the only disagreement would be with people who have never heard the informal military expression 'in the "whatsit"'; or at the very least people who have never been, as fightgar apparently is in this drawing, 'in the "whatsit"' themselves. It's figurative. He may indeed be in a river of 'whatsit', but he is also (and this is what the BC mean) figuratively 'in the "whatsit"', as both his expression and the flames shooting out of his weapon clearly indicate to anyone familiar with the expression, 'in the "whatsit"'. I mean, come on, who has never heard that expression? Ask a soldier; even a wannabe soldier.<br />

== What kind of gun is Fighthar using? ==<br />
<br />
When I saw the picture I couldn't help but wonder. I started looking up gun types to draw a conclusion, and when I did, I realized my (work?) shouldn't go to waste, so I'd better post the firearm I settled on here. I don't really expect a response, as the title would suggest. Anyway, my guess is a suppressed folded-stock AKS-47. [[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 19:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
It's a mishmash rich-tapestry cartoon-gun. The only think it has in common with any Kalashnikov (like your AKS-47 or 74) is the curved magazine. The guard on the barrel is from a machine gun like a .30 Browning, but the only thing with that type of guard that is even consistent with the size of what Fightgar is holding is the cheapo Tek-9 SMG used by every terrorist or drug dealer's henchman in every American action film in the 80s. I have to say, (not because I'm in the NRA (I'm not) or 'love guns' (I don't) or anything, but because I'm a writer and a former infantry soldier. . . there. . . I apologized for knowing about guns) I know guns, and that is not any gun on the face of the earth. It *is* a pretty neat looking cartoon gun though.<br />

I don't know in every case, but as mentioned above, I sent in my wedding invitation in early May to TBC through the mailing address in the Store P.O. box.

Is it just me, or is it quite plausable that [[Strong Mad]] is being played by a dresser? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:06, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Seems logical to me. Making such a rectangular costume might be a tad difficult (can YOU balance a thick wooden board on your head for a long time?). Obviously, it's a fairly thick surface, as it doesn't bend at the ends, like a piece of cardboard might if balanced on someone's head and draped with a sheet. Also, the place where Strong Mad's arms would be are kinda limp-looking (perhaps indicating that there's no person in the costume who would manipulate the arms). It looks about the right size for a dresser too, judging by the fellow dressed as Strong Bad next to it. And lastly, the Kick The Cheat plushie on top indicates that it's a level surface, which would be hard to do on a person. So, in summary, it's not just you. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
::Actually... I'm pretty sure there's a person in there. My wife and I are pretty sure we saw them at a Japanese culture convention or two, most likely [http://www.pacificmediaexpo.com/ Pacific Media Expo] or [http://www.anime-expo.org/ Anime Expo]. Note the badge hanging around Strong Bad's neck. I'd have to dig out my collection of conbadges to see if one of them matches, but I'm still quite sure that they're the same people, from the distinctively lopsided shape of the Strong Bad costume's head. Anyway, the Strong Mad costume mostly consisted of a wooden frame, and I'm pretty sure that they had handles coming down from the top inside the costume to support it. Here's another picture that also shows Strong Mad's feet: [http://image46.webshots.com/47/7/78/24/388577824NhyKtG_ph.jpg]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 04:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

::Comparing it to the Gremlin in [[Wikipedia:AMC_Gremlin|this picture]], it doesn't look like one &mdash; at least the side windows in the back are different, and the hood seems to be longer. But perhaps a different year or model Gremlin looked like that one. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::An [http://images.google.co.nz/images?q=gremlin+amc&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=on&start=39&sa=N&ndsp=18 image search] shows similar cars to the one from the 'Kipedia article. Take good notice of the weird shape of those windows. Given that Gremlins apparently look very different from the Trogcar, that the Trogcar looks like any ordinary old European car, and that it has the steering wheel on the right-hand side, I'd say that's definitely not a Gremlin.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

Okay, since the XML source code now has the tag "<fanstuff>trogdor smash bros level</fanstuff>" and not the previous one, would it now be a good time to change last week's description to lowercase? Ya gotta match the image and be consistent.<br />
:No. Never. Screw consistancy. Keeping it caps ''preserves'' the XML's writing of it, showing a noteworthy deviation from the standard. You might as well say, "Okay, now that that Quote of the Week isn't there anymore, we should change the transcript to say "I say tomatermorts" instead of "I zader matermorts"." That's not how it works. The XML shows the true intent of how the caption was to be written, and as we don't have a record of each XML change (save for the history of [[Weeklies XML]]), the fanstuff/sketchbook sections should document the change instead. After all, this isn't the first time this has happened either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)<br />

Regarding your example, Dorian, we saw the text as "zadermorts" so there was never an argument on that one. This one, we see something different than what's in the code. That's notable.

== Trogdor coat of arms blazon ==<br />
<br />
The blazon would more properly be "Or, Trogdor Statant," since Trogdor doesn't have forelimbs. In this case, Trogdor isn't green, one could argue that therefore it should be "Trogdor Sable". But that depends on whether the given coat of arms is in error or the blazon. "Dragon" in this case is insufficient, since Trogdor is sufficiently different from heraldic dragons as to require more specificity (heraldic dragons don't have beefy arms coming out of their backs).<br />
:True enough, but I've seen plenty of different heraldic dragons. Trogdor definitely is a dragon, and the beefy arm could be considered his forelimb. I'd still go for a dragon rampant. Also, Trogdor is green, it's just a very dark green, probably because of the camera used. The only thing I haven't figured out to blazon are the crenelations on top of the shield.

== Epic Fail Project- Homespore Runner ==<br />
<br />
*...Yeah, about the Homespore Runner on the Weekly Fanstuff...that DOESN'T even look ANYTHING like Homestar Runner. For now, I would consider it an Epic Fail. -{{User:Umlaut76/sig}}<br />
<br />
This seems to be a forum subject. The HRWiki is devoted to having a full encyclopedia of Homestar Runner available on the internet. Personal comments do not meet the wiki standards. Try out the forums. {{User:Don't say jorb 101/sig}}<br />

== Glitch ==<br />
<br />
As of today, (1/12/09)<br />
<br />
The fanstuff is messed up. It's the banjo kazooie car with the "The Cheat on Cell Phone?" caption. Don't know if it's just me, so I thought 'd post here first.<br />
:It's not just you, I assure you. In fact, I think this is the third place this discussion is taking place. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Sorry. I don't exactly go on the forums, and I didn't see it here.<br />
:Not a problem. We're aware of the thing what actually is the problem, though, although I have no advice (being one of the affected myself). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Fanstuff's Caption ==<br />
<br />
OK, I'm stumped. What does the latest caption mean? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:41, 13 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:All of the characters there are well-known, recurring characters, with the exception of ol' twelvey. TBC are making fun of whoever sent it for including him. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:45, 13 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
::Thanks. Now I seem like such an idiot. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
:::I don't think so. I also had to think a bit before getting the joke. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:26, 13 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
::::Actually, I think they're really nice to me (yeah, those eggs are mine). --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 15:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC) <br />

On a related note, could we have an anchor put into the SS Other Costumes article so this one can link to it? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:00, 13 February 2009 (UTC)</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Weekly_FanstuffWeekly Fanstuff2009-02-23T02:29:11Z<p>Erwin Morland: Weekly Fanstuff moved to Weekly Fanstuff on Wheels</p>

{{Weekly Fanstuff}}<br />
<br />
'''Weekly Fanstuff''' is a collection of fan-submitted [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] projects and pictures. These are viewed by clicking on the ''F'' button at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated on Thursdays. Here is a list of all the fanstuff appearances in 2009.<br />
<br />

{{H*RNav}}</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Quote_of_the_WeekQuote of the Week2009-02-23T02:28:56Z<p>Erwin Morland: Quote of the Week moved to Quote of the Week on Wheels</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]<br />
<br />
The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.<br />
<br />
:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''<br />
<br />
:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''<br />
<br />
:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''<br />

<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*The September 27, 2007 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Polychaete|polychaete worms]], a class of worms that are known for their bristles and marine environments.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*In Bubs's quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.<br />
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.<br />
*Until August 9, 2007, the Quote of the Week of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*Occasionally, some quotes are used twice.<br />
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice on February 17, 2005, and June 7, 2005. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases was slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").<br />
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice on June 16, 2005, and October 20, 2005, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.<br />
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs's quote for March 25, 2005 ("Everybody knows me. My name Cornbread."), is very similar to his quote for February 16 2006 ("I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread.").<br />
**The Homestar Runner's "Well, folks, you know what that means..." quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.<br />
**The quotes released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were originally identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being released. The quote it was changed to was suggested in the edit summary of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707 the edit adding Sickly Sam's quote to this page].<br />
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.<br />
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".<br />
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".<br />
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" in the [[Wikipedia:ID3|ID3]] tag. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.<br />
*In the January 31, 2008 quote, "carrageenan" is misspelled "carageenan".<br />
*In the March 13, 2008 quote, the "The" in The Cheat's name is not capitalized, and there is no comma after "blows". "Blowhole" is also misspelled as two words.<br />
*The July 10, 2008 quote reads "taken out ''if''" instead of "of it".<br />
*In the October 16, 2008 quote's text, the word "hundred" appears after "200".<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my<br>funniest word style<br>ever times that I've<br>said! Hope all is on<br>to it even more<br>lately! And I wish the<br>chicken & msg place<br>was open on<br>Somedays"</blockquote><br />
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).<br />
*The text can also be:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my<br>funniest word style<br>ever that I said! Hope<br>you're into it!"</blockquote><br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*Strong Sad's quote about tai chi may be a nod to The Simpsons episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOM&#1071;]", which had a similar tai chi/chai tea gag.<br />
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron-hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.<br />
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].<br />
*In the August 9, 2007 quote, Bubs spells [[Wikipedia:Nestle|Nestles]], a Swiss maker of candy and other food products. It's a reference to Nestle's [http://www.archive.org/download/RadioCommercialsShows/Commercials.19xx.xx.xx_N_E_S_T_L_E_S.mp3 long standing jingle], "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best", especially its Alpine White version from the '80s, "Sweet dreams you can't resist. N-E-S-T-L-E-S."<br />
*The September 13, 2007 quote references [[Wikipedia:Frosty|Frosties]] and [[Wikipedia:McFlurry|McFlurries]], ice cream treats served at [[Wikipedia:Wendy's|Wendy's]] and [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], respectively.<br />

==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==<br />
<br />
The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.<br />
:It doesn't even sound like Marzipan's voice to me. Could it be something that someone else made, and sent to TBC, like the real marching band version of the CGNU fight song? But yeah, it's definately very Female-80s-band-esque. -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 03:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
::No, if it was fan-made, I'm sure they'd tell us. Also, it'd be too conveniently timed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
:::Yeah, your probably right. But maybe it was someone other than Missy doing the singing? Wait, I just thought of something. What if this QOTW is supposed to be what Cool Tapes would sound like if Marzipan rocked (from Different Town)? -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 22:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::Have you people even listened to the clip? That is clearly Missy singing! If it isn't, may lightning strike me down right now! Only before "me", put in "people who disagree with". And how could it be fan-made? Can't you here Strong Mad and The Cheat's ''doley-o'''s ? That's Matt doing their voices, no doubt about it. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 15:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::Just listened to the clip; it doesn't sound much like Missy to me. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 23:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==loading==<br />
<br />
Does anyone else think that the loading window was only for that one song, and has been removed? It seemed that way with the last one. [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 17:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I just noticed the same thing myself. It may have been a one time thing, it may perhaps be kept in reserve only for long quotes, or perhaps those with a greater knowledge of flash could tell me if it's somehow still there, but only triggered on extra large quotes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I just decompiled it with my flash thing, and even though it's third party and messes everything up when you import, I can't find any hint of the loading screen. [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 18:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Those last two comments were me in IP form. I can't find a loading box at all. TBC probably took it out. So I'll add that it was on the page. If anyone has a better flash decompiler and can find it, feel free to add it. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry if my last comment sounded weird. What I meant to say was: I can't find the loading box. I'm going to write that it doesn't exist. If anyone finds it in the current qotw file, you can revert my edit. Thank you. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== chumbly wumbly bear ==<br />
<br />
shouldnt the quote be creidited to both What's-Her-Face and The Ugly One? in the transcript they're both singing it - [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
:We only credit to whose [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] shows up in each quote ('cept the old ones from before there were such things). In this case, What's Her Face. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
ah ok, i didnt even know there WAS someones head that popped up, i only ever get the quotes from the wiki :P [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Podcast ==<br />
<br />
Hey Guys! youshould have a QotW podcast so it would be easier to load into iTunes! It would be just like tmbw.net's Free tunes podcast! [[User:Finest1]]<br />
<br />
== Going backwards ==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that the qod has gone from the newer back to the new.{{User:The Teach!/Twig}}<br><br />
http://www.vulomedia.com/images/53421Qod.png<br />
<br />
==Awesome, just AWESOME!==<br />
<br />
Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!"). But it's hard to say for certain. Any ideas? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I'm sure it's a teaser for the next Cheat Commandos toon! ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon. It's like trying to do the same thing if the quote was of Strong Bad "I hate this crappy guy" to where he said "crap". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Milkshake?==<br />
I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Not really an outtake ==<br />
<br />
The new qotw is labelled an outtake, but it isn't really. Strong Bad cuts Strong Sad off, but you can hear him finishing quietly in the background. --Telamon<br />
:Oh, hey, so it is... Like some Bubs quote about bananas before. And some other quotes. They seem to do this a lot. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />

==Reggae Song==<br />
<br />
I know they have Marzipan's picture for the "Bread and butter pickle" reggae song Quote of the Week, but that's a pretty obvious Police-era Sting imitation. Anyone agree? {{unsigned|71.167.106.88|22:06, 3 November 2006}}<br />

==Character Heads On Main Article?==<br />
::I think this necessitates a different discussion. Is the format of this page as good as it can be? Early on, there has been no question that the character name and comma indicated both that this was the character speaking/singing, and that it was the character head used. But with the Chumbly Wumbly Bear song, and now even more so this, we see that there is confusion. Perhaps the character head id should be in its own "character head" column. This would make it clear that ''that'' is what we are noting, and who we hear speaking the quote is not necessarily the same (and is a secondary priority on this page). In cases like the above, we can note elsewhere whether the character head accurately depicts the speaker/singer. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::I like Qermaq's plan. Had they started with the heads from the beginning, there would have been no question.

== Take out the outtake ==<br />
<br />
On the one hand, the "Good graphics" (11/16/06) quote says it's an outtake in Windows Media Player. On the other hand... is it really any different than the actual line in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? At all? I can't right now, but I'd like to listen to both simultaneously to check. If not, I think we should put a note (or Fun Fact) stating that they call it an outtake but it's not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

:::Good question. It just doesn't make sense to say that, though. This is, by the book, not an outtake because it is ''in'' the toon. It's not best to blindly follow what TBC say if it's clearly incorrect or misleading. More likely than not, it says outtake in Windows Media Player because they simply didn't give a care what the incorrect or out-of-date title was when they put it up or it had not occurred to them. We've [[Talk:H*R.com updates 2006#Dating discrepancy|consented]] that we should give the actual date of release on the updates page even if the main page says otherwise, and I don't see why we should be any less accurate in our description of this QOTW based on what TBC may have inadvertantly said. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

Should we be splitting hairs between stonk and stunk? <br />
# it was an outake so they could have easily have screwed up the line<br />
# if this is where the line originated, they probably didn't pull up a script but did it from memory<br />
# it is a little over 2 weeks before christmas so that the likelyhood that they are either working on a christmas/decemberween toon, or watching christmas movies are high.<br />

:Like I said in the edit summary, I was reminded of this as well. "Stink, stank, stunk" (the real lyrics) are the tenses of the verb, but "stonk" seems more to me like a deliberate (and not necessarily related) joke by TBC.

== Crabadonk ==<br />

Voice actors often do multiple takes of a line and the best one is selected later. This is clearly what Matt had done with Bubs' line "Crabadonk". Are all three outtakes for certain? Would this be better described as multiple takes? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
:This is like June 29, 2004's "I just hate you so much". Bubs says crabadonk twice in the e-mail. Let's not call this an outtake. Multiple takes is better. Or, we can just leave its source as plain ol' "[[the chair]]". &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
::The first two "Crabadonk"s of the QotW are outtakes. The third one matches the first time Bubs says "Crabadonk" in the email. The second time in the email is distinct to all three in the QotW. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I say we stay with "outtake" &mdash; it seems to have [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outtake both meanings], a take that's not used because it ends with a mistake, or any take that's not used (e.g., multiple takes are recorded and only the best is uesd).

::::Wait, at least one occurence of "crabadonk" cannot be called an outtake by either definition. Therefore, since it was used, that portion of the QOTW cannot be called an outtake.

== Define "outtake" ==<br />
<br />
Well, we have more edit-warring here regarding outtake status than anything else, so let's explore the issue.<br />
<br />
What is an outtake? It's a take that was not used in a toon, basically. It may have been a particular reading of a line (or a single word) that was rejected for a different approach. It might be a totally different line that was recorded but unused. It might be an error, or "blooper". But in each case, the outtake does not occur in the finished toon.<br />
<br />
In the "clabadonk" case, a strong argument exists for referring to the three repeated words as "multiple takes". There's evidence that at least one of these takes were used in the finished toon. I suggested "multiple takes", but even if it's somehow agreed that these are outtakes, it should be plural, as these clearly are three successive takes.<br />
<br />
In the most recent QOTW we have a different issue. This is a line from the toon, but some extra is apparently tacked on. I haven't taken the time to listen and compare, but if the lion's share of it is in fact the same as is used in the toon, how can we call it an outtake?<br />
<br />
What I'd like is a bit more formal agreement on what should and should not be labeled as an outtake so these silly revert wars stop. (And, at risk of sounding like a scoolteacher, my rule of thumb is it's good to indicate in the edit summary why the edit was made, but if you or someone you agree with is reverted (or if what you reverted is added back), it's time to take it to the Talk page, lest these wars continue.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
:After another listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, I don't think the current QotW (18 Jan 2007) is an outtake, but there are a couple of lines in the middle of it that aren't in the toon. Namely, the underlined part here is missing: "I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? <u>I don't even watch football. I hate football but</u> I'll <u>play football.</u> Run you over in football. Run you down the field like a clown!" The rest of it sounds exactly like what's in the toon (although it's admittedly hard to hear under the voiceover). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Holy crap! A revert war because of my original edit. To me, it's not an outtake. Most of the quote is in the toon. It's all good, though. You can do anything you want to it. I don't care. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}<br />

== Sausages. ==<br />
<br />
If you go and listen to [http://www.msu.edu/~larowebr/Brent%20LaRowe%20-%20Dot%20Com.mp3 It's Dot Com by Brent LaRowe] (some sort of [[HRFWiki:Fan Music|Fan Music]]), in it, at about 2:03, is a quote from Strong Bad. "Don't worry big guy, we'll find him... if the King of Town hasn't already ground him up into sausages." Now, this seems to be from [[Where's the Cheat?]], but not a direct quote. I discussed this with someone in the chat room a few months ago, and whoever they were seemed to agree with me that it was a quote of the week. Now, it could be a very good impression, but I don't think so. Does anyone remember this quote, if it ever was? --{{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 19:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)<br />

::Looking back into my Activity History (thanks Trillian), I discussed this with [[User:Kookykman|Kookykman]].

Incidentally, it should not read "Crack Stuntman ''as'' Gunhaver", because Stuntman wasn't playing Gunhaver at the time.

It's Crack. and it's mentioned in Marzipan's Answering machine that he is the "Handsome actor that's handsomely paid." to play Gunhaver... just because Gunhaver's picture is on the website doesn't attribute this quote to him.

The page states that the qoute of the week from 24 May 2007 is a Quote exclusive. Since the link for the file is ''sb_fieldday'' I went to [[HR:fieldday.html|fieldday.html]] to check it out. The quote is actually from a short toon featuring Strong Bad, titled "''Field Day intro''". I can't seem to find a page for it here on the wiki, so I wanted to point out to that in case nobody had noticed. It doesn't have the bottom navigation links, neither does it continue to what it's an intro for so I'm guessing it's something unfinished.

::::As I said in the [[Talk:Main Page#Too long, Clanky!|other place you posted this]], the "This page is too long" warning is just a benchmark, a notice that you should possibly consider splitting the page. After all, if an ''article'' reached this length, then it would definitely either go into too much detail, or have several logical sections it could be broken up into (like the Peasant's Quest walkthrough, references, etc). But a list such as this one is fine as is... and being able to sort all of the quotes at once by, say, character head would be impossible if they were split by year. Personally, I think we should maybe copy over the Wikipedia version of this message ("This page is ''xx''kb. It may be appropriate to split this article into smaller, more specific articles." without the word "WARNING") because that just seems more better. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)<br />

== Mirrors behind mirrors. ==<br />

I've found a mirror for "The Wicked Guitar Solo" from [[personal favorites]]. Or actually, I just dug up the old one. It still works, if you know how to get there. It's on [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/previousquotes.htm this page], listed as "The E-mail Rokk". The funny thing is that a [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/email_rokk.mp3 direct link to the file] doesn't seem to work sometimes, and will just bounce you back here, or whatever page you came from. Freewebs' server most likely checks the [[Wikipedia:referrer|referrer (oops, referer)]] and just spits it right back at you if it matches some filter of theirs (Or doesn't match, however they've got it set up). So, if someone with the know-how and power-how (or something like that) to upload it to the HRWiki mirror would do so, we'd be down to just one QotW without a mirror link!

::True, comparing the email itself and the file, the sound is quite different. But I'd say that in itself is not inconsistent with the older quotes mirrored on the wiki. And the files on that webpage seem to be identical with the ones mirrored here, though it's quite possible that one copied them from the other, which would be difficult to confirm at this point. I think that file is at least equally authentic as the other old QotW files we have mirrored here. Maybe it is the original, official file. Maybe it isn't, and one day someone will dig up the original file. Or maybe TBC will repost it. I suppose the hope is that someone who does have the original will notice it's missing on this page, and submit it. In any case, I consider that file to be better than none at all, and I'm glad that I found it.

== Ja What? ==<br />
<br />
...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in [[buried]] about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"? Some of these so-called "facts" are so ridiculously nitpicky it's not funny. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Are you aware of the linguistic relation between /y/ and /j/? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja". Admittedly, a word meaning "yes" fits there, and he does have a foreign name and accent ("Ja" actually means "yes" in at least 7 languages [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja#Andere_Sprachen], most notably German - which would also match his accent). In my opinion, it's speculation, and a discussion here on the talk page is all the documentation we need.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)<br />

:::::Given that Taranchula are clearly portrayed as Scandinavian, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to speculate that they were saying "ja".

:If you right-click on the links in the list here, you should get a menu that you can choose "Save link" or "Save target" or similar... that should save straight to disk, rather than going through QuickTime. As for disabling QT completely (so that you could download them from the H*R site, for instance), I'm not sure... but it'd help to know what version of QuickTime you have, which browser (Internet Explorer?

The if the number was 2026, we wouldn't write 2ty. It's 20. So if anything it's X0. Not Xty. And where is this other crap coming from " X-T, XT, Exty, X0". No one ever refers to it as this. And if they do it's wrong. This wiki explains Homestarrunner.com, not the way the fans talk about the website. I don't want to have an editing battle or anything.

== Cleanup ==<br />
<br />
The movement in [[Talk:Neologisms]] is calling for a merge with this page.

So here is a quick to do list:<br />
*Better opening: It was written in the old Tavi times when we didn't have such a high standards.<br />
*Links: Some of the items here already have pages for themsleves.<br />
*Trimming: things like "Bumdumbourge" that only appeared once and which we have no real definition of.<br />
*More encyclopedic: Things like "CHALLENGE!!!: A favorite word (and pastime) of Stinkoman." should confirm to the same standards as [[HRWiki:Glossary]] and be worded like "challenge ''(n.)'': [[Stinkoman]]'s favorite pastime.".<br />

Dunno right now. As they come to mind, people can add 'em in. We should just focus on making this page uniform for now, as opposed to adding/baleeting new words. Also, (and I'm not being wise here; I really am asking), what's the point with merging [[Neologisms]] with this page? This page '''is''' neologisms!

It happens a lot to me that I propose something but never actually go to do it myself, but I couldn't have done a better job! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)<br />

== All Up Ons ==<br />
<br />
Forgive me for dropping in unannounced, but I always took, "the ladies will be all up ons" to mean not that, "the ladies will be great," but that, "the ladies will be in an uncontrollably makey-outey state." For example, the Ab-Abber 2000 does not turn the ladies in the vicinity into great ladies, but rather your presence after usage now puts the ladies into an excited state. Hope this is the right way to bring up such a point --- it is my first attempt at wiki-ing. -kielejocain<br />
:Umm, yeah, I agree... it doesn't make any sense as listed. In addition, the page that it links to has a different definition. I'm gonna go ahead and change it. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 01:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)<br />

== Definition of "Poopaw" ==<br />
<br />
Poopaw is what Strong Bad calls his grandfather. [[User:RocketMasterZ|RocketMasterZ]] 07:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)<br />

<hr />
<div>This poor page is orphaned, but seems to contain very useful information. Should it be linked to from the main page like Characters and Toons? Or is there some other index page that should link to it?<br />
<br />
First, thanks for the complements. I didn't know anyone else read my little page.<br />
When I first made it, I had it linked to the main page, but Tom moved it to the <br />
downloads section (on the old wiki) because on the main site the only list of <br />
songs is in the download section. I'd like to see it linked from the main page<br />
again, but the admins know best. -FatPamPam<br />
<br />
Hey, what about the Peter Frampton clip from the Strong Bad secret main page? That's a song. Probably. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 21:35, 10 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
This is a wiki. Put it on there. -- <small>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</small>|<sub>[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]</sub><br />
<br />
Y'know, this page is a bit unorganized. I think I'll alphabatize it. Do you think I should do it by the title of the toon or of the song?<br />
I'll do that tonight. --FatPamPam<br />
<br />
Done. Oh, and I added that "Poot Slap" is on the SB Room Main page, in addition to the Luau. -FPP<br />
<br />
Sweet! It's linked to from the main page! I'm so happy!- FatPamPam<br />
<br />
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned anything yet about the absence of 'Strong Bad's Rhythm 'n' Grammar' from [[local news]] on the Songs page.<br />
-- [[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]<br />
<br />
Okay, done. But this is a wiki, so you could have done it just as easily :-). Oh, well. I do most of this page anyway. -FPP<br />
<br />
== Adding Files? ==<br />
<br />
I uploaded a sound file to the wiki and I put it on here, but my edit was reverted. Why? Did I do something wrong? If so, I'm sorry... Tell me what happened please :-) &rarr;[[User:evin290|evin290]] 13:54, 31 Jan 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
I second her question (if there is such a thing); why was that reverted? -FatPamPam<br />
<br />
:I left a note on the [[Image talk:Strong Bad - Grumblecakes (-1 Future Jam).ogg|sound file's talk page]] upon it's removal from this page. Pretty much, as I already [[HRWiki talk:FAQ#Uploading Music|told you]], uploading sound files such as this violates The Brothers Chaps copyrights since it isn't fair use.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:45, 31 Jan 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
::Oh! I misread your response on the FAQ talk page. I thought you said "I don't see why not" instead of "I don't see why." Whoops! Sorry about that. The reason I uploaded this particular file is becuase it is a full-length song that ISN'T gettable without watching the ENTIRE toon first. I uploaded it just incase anyone wants to listen to it without watching the toon first. I understand why it would break copyright laws to upload something from the CD or DVD, but what laws would giving away for free something that was given to you for free? I want to be as helpful as possible on the wiki and I've read the rules and such. I need to know what's wrong with this sort of thing.

:Hey, the "Wheat Grows Sweet" was a download from the site. It was a quote of the week a long time ago.<br />
<br />
:I used to have a link for that. I don't know why it was taken off. I just put it back on.<br />
:Perhaps I lost it when I transfered "Peasant's Quest" to the Gamses portion.<br />

<br />
'''Any files that the Brothers Chaps have as mp3s on their site should be linked to directly from here.''' And the links should probably get their own column in the table. Who could possibly disagree with that??<br />
<br />
What some might disagree with (but I don't) is I think it should be considered fair use if any sounds that are in a Macromedia Flash file are extracted and redistributed in the same way the Flash files are (i.e. for free) unless The Brothers Chaps object by writing us a letter. --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 16:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)<br />

There was that one "TV Show" song from "Thing in a Bag" there ... --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 18:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Ooh! and the "Everybody Everybody" Christmas Remix from the end of "Oh Holy Crap" ... you know, during the credits. --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 18:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)<br />

i wish we had mp3s of those. --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 00:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Or better yet, OGGs. But yeah, I've been known to leave the page up after "Oh Holy Crap" letting that loop run for minutes. Somethin' about it. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:51, 5 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
Me too. I don't know why. It's a... cute song. {{User:Salty/sig}} 05:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Oranginaded where, again?==<br />
We've got a problem. Several of the songs under [[Songs#Songs that originated on "Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits"|Songs that originated on "Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits"]] ''didn't'' literally originate there. Specifically, "Let's Get Started (etc.)" and "The Ladies In My Town (etc.)" ''originated'' in [[Strong Bad Sings]]. We never hear them, though, which makes it tricky to simply delete them from this section. They were, um, first "realized" on the cd... The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Theme Song is even more difficult, since this could hardly be considered its "origin," but also is a new entity that hasn't been heard before. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Also, what's the page standard for placement? I see that SB's "Shanama" Panama and O Canada parodies are up in the toon, but H*R's "Greatest American Hero" parody is under "Not By TBC". To be consistent, I'd suggest putting anything we know TBC sourced on other music in this way in the bottom. So upstairs is originals only, and downstairs are real songs and parodies/new lyrics. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

::Hi man, be '''bold'''. If you think some stuff need to move around, move it around. The idea of organizing a page is great, but sometimes you just have to do it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
::NP, I just wondered if there WAS any rhyme or reason before i spent any time on it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
Ok, I organized the page a little differently. Whaddaya know, Haddiman? (One thing - the Wheat song from PQ - are there lyrics? Cuz it really isn't a "song" without lyrics. Everything else has lyrics or is specifically called a song. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
==Wheat Is Sweet?==<br />
<br />
Well, "The Entertainer" doesn't have lyrics, either, but it's definitely a song. I see your point, though. I think that, since it was offered as a quote of the week, we might as well keep it on here. -FatPamPam<br />
<br />
:Actually, The Entertainer has lyrics. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Though this could be discussed further. My point is every little tune would deserve a spot here, which isn't going to lead to any good. The Entertainer, that's a judgement call, and there certainly is an argument for and against it being a song. But the Wheat thing is a ''tune'', not a song, and I don't think that qualifies. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::As time goes by (which IS a song), I'm more and more sure. It's available on the QOTD, and should be available on the Peasant's Quest page, but not here. I'll list it, and the Stinkoman tunes, below so they'll not be lost. Feel free to link them from other pages. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
I think I've developed a good system for categorizing the songs.<br />
<br />
1 Songs by The Brothers Chaps (and/or Missy Palmer) - these are completely original, and should be listed here and in the alphabetical section at the bottom.<br />
<br />
1.1 from Toons - any short, feature, or other toon except sbemail.<br />
<br />
1.2 from Strong Bad Emails - Strong Bad Emails only<br />
<br />
1.3 from Games - Games Only<br />
<br />
1.4 from "Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits" - obvious<br />
<br />
1.5 Songs from the DVD - again, obvious, though music from emails probably ought to be listed above<br />
<br />
2 Songs partly by The Brothers Chaps - this includes parody lyrics to existing tunes, collaborations, etc.<br />
<br />
3 Songs not by The Brothers Chaps - use this when the song is used as recorded previously by someone else, or when a character sings the exact words someone else wrote.<br />
<br />
In 2 and 3, we should try to find attributions for the parts that are not by TBC. That means the writer(s) when they cover the song. If they use an actual cut, credit the performer too.<br />
<br />
I think that sums it up. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
:And now we have tables. I did not put the TMBG concert into a table, nor the Sealab songs, as there's no point. Feel free to neaten up anything you think needs it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Oh, another thing. It seems sensible to exclude original music that has no words, as they're not songs. But we should include non-original music such as "Theme from ''Night Court''" to cite composers and/or important artists being referenced. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== I Don't Get It ==<br />
<br />
I have been working on [[Songs By Character]] forever and haven't really glanced at this one. I don't understand the format here; it's different from SBC. Qermaq left a note on my talk page that I should add the song I put on the other article here (just so you know, I put 98% of the songs on that page) and on Titles too, but I'm not sure where. Could someone explain this for me? Thanks. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">''Brightstar Shiner''</span>]] 18:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Sure. The page is in three sections. First, completely original songs, and that's subdivided into Toons, Sbemails, etc. Most stuff will go there. These are also (generally) the songs that end up in the Songs By Title and By Character pages (though I don't think that's a hard and fast rule). The second section is for songs which are not entirely TBC original, be they parodies, collaborations, or the like. The third section is for songs which are not at all written by TBC, though they might be sung by a character. Does that make more sense? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Yes, thank you. Before, I was thinking, "What the crap?! This makes no sense to me, so I'll post it on the talk page and hopefully Qermaq will explain it." And you did! Horray! -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">''Brightstar Shiner''</span>]] 20:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Easter Egg Songs ==<br />
<br />
I've been noticing that we have been putting up all of the (few) songs in Easter Eggs. In [[ghosts]], after you kill the bad graphics ghost, Strong Sad sings the "Ghost of John" song. Shoud we put this up?--[[User:Strong Rose|Strong Rose]] 00:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)<br />
:It's already listed, under [[Songs#Songs not by The Brothers Chaps|Songs not by The Brothers Chaps]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Oops. ':) Sorry. I didn't look hard enough. My bad. --[[User:Strong Rose|Strong Rose]] 21:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== It's Over... Again ==<br />
<br />
There have been TWO "It's Over" songs now. Should we distinguish them? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Of course. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== 200 Emails ==<br />
<br />
This should be listed, but would it be in the "partially by" section or the "not by" section? I'm leaning toward guessing that, as usual, TBC wrote the lyrics and TMBG did the music and performed it. But this is just a guess, of course, albeit an educated one. Who agrees/disagrees? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:38, 25 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Yeah, why isn't it there? {{User:Dungeonman262}} 10:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Baddest of the Bands & Fan songs. ==<br />
<br />
Can we upload music from SBCG4AP or songs about Homestar done by fans? I have mp3s I made from walkthrough footage of Food Related Love, Limozeen Is Not Very Nice, & even Two-o Duo.<br />
:No, you can't upload music from Homestar Runner on the wiki... it's a violation of copyright (as has been [[#Adding Files?|mentioned above]]). This goes even more so for songs from the CDs and SBCG4AP, which you have to pay money to get access to. As for fan-created songs, they don't really belong here anyway. When the [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/ fanstuff wiki] returns, you will probably be able to put them up there instead. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC)<br />
::To back Phlip up, as a music professional, yes, copyright law is extremely strict in this vein. Unless we have license to the audio in question (which we could acquire if the need existed), we in no way have any right to host it or even link to it. I'd argue that even mirrors are arguably against the letter of the law - though TBC would need to find it worth their while to raise a lawsuit, and I hope the happy cooperation we share dispels any motivation for them to go that route, so we better not push it, like at all - but putting any of their content which you can get from them in some way upon our server for unaccounted download is absolutely not acceptable. They are legally in control of their own intellectual material, they get first rights as how users can access their stuff, and that is one of the basic tenets of this wiki, as it happens.<br />
<br />

<div>==Page problems==<br />
Yeah, this page conflicts with Rejects. And it just generally isn't done well. Some of these things were just made up and aren't linked to from any toons. I justed deleted a page that was created for "Canteloupe" (spelled incorrectly), even though we already have a page for [[Doreauxgard]]. Any ideas?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:54, 12 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:See my comments on Rejects. I think something either '''IS''' or '''IS NOT'''. Meaning we get rid of rejects entirely, and categorize things by what they are, independent of how many times they appear. - [[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 14:08, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Computers ==<br />
<br />
Does anyone else see a problem with adding [[Slightly Shotgunned Compy]] and Old Tandy? They're not seperate computers, just later ones. Why not just list Slightly Shotgunned Compy as what it is, a toon. Then just put a pic of it and a bit of history on the [[Compy 386]] page, where it belongs. You may as well list [[Puppet Stuff]] computers as seperate computers as well under that criteria. Okay I'm done. Anyone second the motion?<br />

<br />
==Items Standards==<br />
<br />
Anyone feel that this page needs some kinda standard? Perhaps like further items will only be allowed when used multiple times, such as the [[BMW Lighter]], ect, or unless it's part of a definite set, such as the radios? ''<tt>[[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔</font>]][[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>Thunderbird</font>]][[User talk:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔</font>]]</tt>'' 12:30, 9 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I like the "multiple times" standard, as well as perhaps a standard that it must interact with the characters in some notable way at least once (so no stuff like Strong Bad's stool or the smoke detector). <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 20:09, 12 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I've noticed some stuff has been deleted which I don't think should have been deleted necessarily (like Staple Sauce and Coach Z Ale). At the very least, it's inconsistent. Here's the list of items which do not fit the three times rule: Block, Box Computer, Strong Sad's Tape Player, Strong Sad's iPod, Ray-Jo, Old-Timey Radio, ATM, Home Movie Camera, Homestar's Clock, Grabbo Arm, Marzipan's Ukelele, Bubs' keytar, Gross Old Wig, Captain's Hat, Homestar's Slippers, Homestar's Daisy Dukes, Tragic Clown Dog Costume, The Blue Ones, Fluffy Puff Air Puffed Sugar Delights, Fluffy Puff Malloweens, Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers, Schenectady Crispies, Cheat Commandos O's Cereal, Piemonade, Homestar Jr., Decemberween Food, Bubs' Old Pizza, Ice Cream, Strong Bad's EGGS, Teddy Grahams, Suge Brown, Super Mud, Limozeen: but they're in space, Whaddya Know Haddi-Man, Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum, Caleb Rentpayer, all of the magazines, Edgarware, The Virus, Edga Jr., Strong Bad's Drill, Grout Clean'r, Space Machine, Wood-davers, Yella Paint.<br />
<br />
::I'm in no way suggesting that we delete all of these things, but we're in desparate need of a standard. It's seriously arbitrary to delete Staple Sauce and not, say, Suge Brown and Super Mud. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 01:34, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Since the images weren't gone, I just put 'em in the list. What can it hurt? If the [[The Space Machine|Space Machine]] can be there, so can those. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:51, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::Exactly! What can it hurt? Therefore I propose that Staple Sauce and Coach Z Ale be brought back. Also, Space Machine was on my list. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 04:42, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
We've got a similar problem with the clothing. Sam Goldfish added Homsar's derby and Homestar's shirt. I was about to revert, noting that all the other clothing items were ''exceptions'' from characters' normal costumes, until I checked at the top of the page and found out it was for "items ''often'' ... used by characters." But by that logic we'd have to include Marzi's dress, etc. I propose that actually it's the ''exceptions'' to the norm that are more worthy of note and of this page. Maybe remove the derby and the hat and change the page's mission. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Clean-up ==<br />
<br />
For clean-up on this page, I was thinking to do the same thing we did for the [[Characters]] page. Like the galleries and stuff. Is that okay?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:05, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I like that idea. It's like if you were shopping: would you want to buy any of this stuff without seeing it first? Th' gallery is also good if you know how the item looks but can't remember specifically what it's called. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::I already did it to the computers part. How does it look?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:16, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::I like it. I think it'll come out fine. Good luck witchyaself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
When I'm back from school, I'll start standardizing the images just like in the characters page. I like doing that :) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 03:58, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Is there anything else that needs to be done here?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 01:46, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Do we know that the grabbo arm is electronic? How and why?<br />
:It has lights on it that light up when you squeeze the trigger. It has at least some electronics in it, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
== Radios? Music Players? ==<br />
<br />
Now that Radios has the iPod and the SeeDees, it needs to be changed to another title. I changed it to music players temporarily, although the Old-Timey Radio doesn't play much music. {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 15:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I suggested Music Players, but if you can come up with a better name, I'm open for suggestions. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:46, 18 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I like music players also. It's more general.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 15:54, 18 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Possible other choises: Machines with Speakers, Electronics with Speakers, Speakered Electronics, Speakered Devices. --{{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 16:08, 18 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::I think music players is fine. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Who put [[The King of Town]] and [[Strong Bad]] in alphabetical order? ==<br />
<br />
I started alphabetizing the galleries, but came apon a problam. Should [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot]] and [[The King of Town's Grill]] be under S and T, or under F and G? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:50, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I noticed that some sections are in alphabetical order (of these some are understandably so, others maybe not so much?). That said, I think I've seen it before where they list it under F and G (natural, no flats or sharps). Otherwise we'd have all of these listings under "Strong Bad's this" and "SB's that" clumped up. <br />
<br />
:I think that this page could use some ordering standards listed right by the section as an HTML comment. For example, the SB computers are listed chronologically, but with minor computers first. The "other" computers seems to have no order at all. I think the rest of the items are probably like this. Not only that the [[Characters]] page should probably be looked over in the same manner. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:10, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Computer Programs ==<br />
<br />
Should The Virus really be considered a computer program? It is certainly worthy of mention, but is that a good catagory for it? [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 00:49, 18 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Hm... it's not excactly a program... I dunno. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:33, 18 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::I recently started Programs lists in the individual Computer pages, and it seems to be supported by others. As programs are not "items", considering OAOO should they simply be put there and not here? [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 02:57, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

:The only issue is that placing the saab ligher in that list will point to the BMW lighter page again.--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Cleanup? ==<br />
<br />
''The following are exerpts from [[Talk:Key-sword-tar#Delete?|this]] conversation, and the replies for this topic should go here:''<br />
<blockquote>'''''(...)''''' As a side point, I strongly feel that [[Items]] needs cleanup and revision, but I'm not really up to trying to fix it at this time. But I'ma adding it to my to-do list right now. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:45, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Excuse me if I sound stupid, but what exactly needs cleaning up in Items? It seems fine to me. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
::'''''(...)''''' On a different note, Thunderbird, if the [[Items]] page is to be cleaned up, the [[Characters]] page would need a similar makeover (subpages perhaps?). However, I'm not clear as to what you think should be fixed in items. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::In Items, the main problems I see is such things as [[Items#Movies|Movies]] and [[Items#TV Shows|TV Shows]] being there. Not only are they ''clearly'' not "Items", but Tv Shows already has a [[TV Shows|perfectly fine]], and more complete page. Same with [[Items#Computer Programs|this]], once again clearly not an item. Another problem is [[Items#Misc.|here]]. Half of the "Misc." section are already in [[Characters#PseudoCharacters|this section]]. [[The Proud Anselmo]]??? What's he doing in the Items section? Those are the kind of problems with the page. Make no mistake, it's a pretty good page, but there are obivous problems with the whole setup. '''''(...)''''' {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:02, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
To comment about TBird's suggestion: it all makes perfect sense, except for two things: it seems as if everything will end up being stripped away to the bone (ok, not really), and the word "item" is itself very general: a store sells several "items" among them software and movies. Just my 2 cents. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I think they should be kept. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Should it be moved to '''Things''' or something? That seems like the only plausible solution to me, as every thing is, well, a thing. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:19, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::'''Things''' is far too vauge. I think the best thing would be similar to how we solved similar [[Characters]] problems, by doing [[Characters#Related Pages|this]]. I think similar treatment for a couple of the mentioned sections might be prudent, as well as maybe adding some pages too (Not quite sure which ones at this time though) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:06, 18 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Weapons Upgrade ==<br />
<br />
Should the Dangeresque Nunchuck Gun be included under weapons? I mean it's theoretically still a weapon, even if just in that made up (by Strong Bad) story. [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 16:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Movies and TV Shows ==<br />
<br />
Umm... Are Movies and TV Shows items used by the characters? I mean, are they even items? I think they need to be removed from the list. Thoughts/opinions? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:53, 18 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
:I would tend to agree, and would also add Computer Programs to that list. Unlike books and magazines, I don't think these are really items. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
::I agree.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::Yeah... I agree with programs. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 02:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
::::Not Items. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)<br />

I propose that we rename this page [[iTems]]. Just kidding. ;) &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Maybe a redirect? =3 What colour redirect are YOU gonna get? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
== Computer missing ==<br />
<br />
the floating computer from accent isn't there. for the name just put down strong bad's floating computer. I think it's call floaty 6700. [[User:Foogs|everyone loves the foogs he loves his boring sigs!]] 13:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)<br />
:[[Zappy XT6]], actually. I've added it in now. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 14:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Strong bad's pants ==<br />
<br />
I think that these pants should be in clothing.<br />
Notable mentions:<br />
*Homestar calls them a skirt.<br />
*Strong bad takes the SBlounchked bar and puts them itno the shape of his pants.<br />
*Strong sad finds his pants.<br />
<br />
== Other character computers ==<br />
<br />
Shouldn't Homestar's Happy 8600 and the KOT's Snacky 186 be included? -[[User:AlmsforthePudgy|AlmsforthePudgy]] 14:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Corpy ==<br />
<br />
The corpy pupet pic shouldn't be here. Just put the pic on the [[corpy]] page. we don't need 2 pics of the same computer. even if it does look different, it still is the same computer</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/ItemsItems2009-02-23T02:28:33Z<p>Erwin Morland: Items moved to Items FUCK SHIT ASSHOLE COCK CUNT</p>

<div>== Working in the Rejects ==<br />
Okay here's one place where we are going to have to work in some of the old Rejects. After taking a look at the listing, I'm seeing some places that are mentioned in passing for maybe three seconds. I don't really know which one's we want to keep, but it's something to think about. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:53, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Also, should rejects/misc. characters/places/things be attached to anything in particular? Or should they just be floating around the Wiki's ethereal plains, attached to us only by a category or two? I think the category thing could be enough, but with some of our younger users, that'd be really hard to police unless all the Misc. links were grouped in one place. Here we have the "Rejects" debate once again. Anyway, how about another section titled "Misc. Places"? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]<br />
<br />
::You know what, I'm thinking if it's a place, it goes on the Places page. Maybe under a heading like "So minor, you didn't even know it existed" or something. That seems to be the mentality of the people who come up with these things. I picture them sitting in front of their computer thinking to themselves "Now, what's a place that absolutely ''no one'' else would think of including?" So okay, that would work with characters and places, but what about the "objects"? What do you think we could do with them? Some thing similar? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:30, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:::VERY VERY inside jokes? That's about all I can think of...Unless they float, but I'm not that fond of that idea. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]<br />
<br />
:::Wait a second! I just had a cool idea! For those stupid misc. characters, we could have who?/where?/what? sections! On characters, there'd be a section call "Who?", in places there'd be "Where?" and in inside jokes we could have a "What?" section. Then it'd be pretty easy to keep track of things. Oh, I'm gonna also add a section on Characters for the stupid "not around anymore" characters. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 13:27, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
::::Sure, the "who?/what?/where?/huh?" thing seems to fit the mentality I was talking about. Good idea. And it wouldn't confuse too much. And this way we can include all of the stuff, just to keep everybody happy. Nice work. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:50, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
So I was wondering if it was intentional to leave out the vacation destinations from when Strong Bad was on vacation (like Two Cars, Tennessee and Historic Over There) It seems that if Dortugal is included it would be worth including places that were at least described.<br />
<br />
==ABC Order==<br />
Should the places be in alphabetic order? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 19:19, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)<br />
*When reformatting this page, I put the places in a loose order of importance, which is pretty arbitrary. While ABC order is okay, it would be nice if more important places could also float to the top. (For instance, in the Foreign Lands category, Peasantry is more important than Dortugal.) [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 19:26, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
Yay! Another gallery! Should I give this one to someone else, or do it myself? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:43, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Sure! Go ahead!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 14:16, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />

<br />
== More ==<br />
<br />
Do we also list minor places here? That show'd up like once? --{{User:the thing/sig}} 13:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: Yeah, or places that has merely been mentioned or just partly shown? Like the video store Strong Sad says he has been down to in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]], and Gluten Camp and Glutton Camp and Cool Tapes' topiary gardens from [[Weclome back]], and the Regrettable History Museum Strong Sad had been to as he calls Strong Bad in [[Lappynapped!]] and so on? --[[User:WP CEO|WP CEO]] 23:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

Doesn't the Isle of Pom (not the [[Pom Pom, Too|toon]]) deserve its own page? I mean, it's been referenced in a few other toons. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 19:55, 7 April 2007 (UTC)<br />

==Homestarrunner Drawn in Crayon==<br />
<br />
Thats not a secret page, you can get to it by going to the downloads page.<br />
<br />
==Page of Unknown Origin==<br />
<br />
I found this page in my favorites, definitely bookmarked LONG AGO, but I do not know how ''I'' found it, and cannot find anything about it here on the wiki. It's some kind of Homestarrunner-made page. [http://www.homestarrunner.com/mywedpage.html My Wedpage]. Could someone please say what this is all about? <br />

<br />
== Secret Pages with their own pages ==<br />
<br />
I just removed four external links to secret pages that have their own articles: [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], [[website]], [[Strong Sad's Lament]], and [[Email Processing Room]]. After doing so, I started thinking it might be worth our while to have some of the other pages that are linked to from here to have their own page. I mean, some of those old intros and stuff could use screenshots and better descriptions. So instead of a page with mostly external links, we would have a page with links to individual wiki pages about each secret page. How's that sound?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:20, 8 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
Hmm... Sounds interesting. I just made a page for "Sing Along". Some of this stuff doesn't lend itself to wiki pages particularly well, though. I suppose the previews could go on the pages that they are previewing ("Reddest Raddish" preview on the "Reddest Raddish" page), but what about stuff like "Wireless Bizness?" That doesn't need a wiki page all to itself, does it? -FatPamPam<br />
<br />
:I think it would be easy enough to judge what could use a page. And I've added [[Sing Along]] to a new [[:Category:Secret Pages]] category.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:34, 19 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
== Wireless Thingy ==<br />
<br />
The old Wireless Bizness thing is not working anymore. Does someone have the transcripts for those emails?<br />
- [[User:The Brothers E|The Brothers E]]<br />
<br />
I've been looking for the exact same thing for a while now. I've been on Homestar for a while and I was around while it was up. I remember it being hysterical. The only one I remember from it was the Salty Plum Soda one from stu that later became the rollover button on the toons page. I REALLY want someone to find this. [[User:evin290|evin290]] 18:25, 13 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
Yeah! There was another one where he was trying help some guy out with the ladies, and his advice was basically, get a lot of money and cars, or switch to dudes. Is anyone else looking for this?<br />
<br />
Yes I am. FIND IT, OR I WILL RAVAGE THE UNIVERSE!!!!!! Muhahahahaha. I er, um...<sub>suppose.</sub> --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 23:39, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== SB Sign Explanation? ==<br />
<br />
Might the "i am awesomer than you" Strong Bad "sign" actually be Strong Bad's "sign"ature on the Message Bored? Because the rules for the board imply that the characters, or at least Strong Bad, post. And it certainly seems like something Strong Bad would use on a message board.<br />
<br />
== Wonder Years ==<br />
<br />
Where did this page ever come from? It's in the "/sadjournal" folder.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Can't Find Marzipan Answering Machine Message ==<br />
<br />
So I've gone through all of the Marzipan answering machine messages, and I can't find one that I remember from a while back -- a prank of Strong Bad imitating Homestar Runner, saying that he'd accidentally killed someone and he needs Marzipan to meet him and bring a bunch of towels and plastic trash bags and shovels. Anyone know where I can find this little gem? Hi-larious.<br />

== Halloween 01 ==<br />
<br />
While I was searching for the swf file for Homestarloween (tto lazy to go to the wiki page), I tried going to "halloween01.swf", and I got [http://www.homestarrunner.com/halloween01.swf this]. Is this already up here and I just can't find it, or can I add it? And what is Coach Z dressed as? Pom Pom, too (no pun intended...though I think it's "the Skipper too"...no pun intended). --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]]<br />
: I can't get it to work right now (dang those secret pages!) but I believe I've seen it before. I even have a picture of it on my computer. Basically, it's the entire cast minus Homsar in their 2001 Halloween costumes - almost. Pom Pom seems to be Gilligan's Skipper, and Coach Z is a Noid (an old pizza commercial mascot). --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:16, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Marzipan is also dressed like Velma from Scooby-Doo. The chheat has a different shirt too. I wonder where The KOT's moustache went? For some reason, that bouncing dot thing on the Poopsmith's costume (on the chest of his "armor" is moving up and down and back and forth. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 22:39, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Wow. I was looking for that file on the Wiki a while back. Couldn't find it (guess it was in 404 mode at the time, as I remember a "Halloween" page acting oddly...) Actually, I had the picture saved to disk for reasons that I no longer remember, and conveniently made the pictures on the Costumes page from that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:48, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== A mirror for the secret pages' files ==<br />
<br />
I think we all agree that the old SWF files that we link to on this page do not work from time to time. I propose that Tom upload some (if not all) of these files to the wiki's mirror. Now that the forum is being hosted elsewhere (hats off to the kind individual from ''HomestarRules''), increased bandwidth usage as a result of the mirror isn't an issue. These files, in all likelihood, are on TBC's site indefinately. When/if these files finally go the way of "A Jumping Jack Contest" and "Marshmallow's Last Stand" (albeit for different reasons) it will/would be nice to have a mirror firmly in place. I am not proposing a removal of the current link(s) to the secret page under "External Links". Rather, an additional link for those people who get 404'd on occasion. Comments? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 05:27, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I agree.. it would be nice to have both links in the secrets page, like Main page and Mirror.. you could put some sort of note at the top that says the mirror is there for if the pages don't work. And i'm sure the mirror wouldn't get too much bandwidth abuse since the original files are on the website, its only like backup. And if the pages do ever go on permanent haitus then its no biggie since they're on the hrwiki right? --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 05:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />

http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/fanstuff_pic.jpg - this is a pic used as current weekly fanstuff, it is updated with the flash file because it actually isn't changed, just the picture and the text are (this is mentioned on the weekly fanstuff article). For some strange reason, the page it is supposed to be on redirects to http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Weekly_Fanstuff<br />

pictures such as http://www.homestarrunner.com/costumes03.html are apparently from Fan Costume Commentary, however these are 404'd, so they are probably no-longer on the site.<br />

== Cleanup Idea ==<br />
<br />
For cleaning this up, would it be helpful if we made it a gallery, like the [[Toons]] page? For this that have no music, we could upload a graphic saying "NO IMAGE AVAILABLE". This is just my idea. I don't see much fodder on this page to get started with, so I'll clean it up if I know what we need. -[[User:AtionSong|<font face="BankGothic Md BT">AtionSong</font>]] 17:26, 25 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:Here's my suggestion:<br />
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5 style="border-collapse:collapse"<br />
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee<br />
! Screenshot!! Name !! Description !! External Links<br />
|-<br />
|[[Image:games menu 2001.png|100px]] || '''[[Third Games Menu]]''' || One of the old game menus. || [[HR:games.swf|View the Flash file]]<br />
|}<br />

::Good idea. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 16:39, 26 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
Also, I don't think we should do the same format for the toon previews. It would take up too much space and would just not be worth it. Perhaps we could put links to the previews to all the toons individually instead of taking up the space here. -[[User:AtionSong|<font face="BankGothic Md BT">AtionSong</font>]] 00:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::True that. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:34, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::Yes, I would argue about those being a secret page, as you can actually see them every time you mouseover a toon. I'd suggest moving them to the external links section of the corresponding toon. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:01, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::Yes, I guess they're not secret pages. Otherwise it could be arguesd that (nearly?) all flash files are Secret Pages, as the only links on the site are the .html pages. -[[User:AtionSong|<font face="BankGothic Md BT">AtionSong</font>]] 15:22, 27 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::::Sounds good to me, a bit of additional external linkage never hurt nobody.

<br />
== Two Questions: ==<br />
<br />
I have two questions:<br />
#Where did [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Secret_Pages&oldid=205808#Previews these] go?<br />
#and why do they not appear on [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Secret_Pages&diff=206299&oldid=206289 this diff] which is the last one where they appeared. at.<br />
#These preview SWFs are all valid links if they've simply been removed. However [[User:Invisible_Robot_Fish|IRF]] did point out something important: the links to this page were originally meant to be for stuff that could NOT be linked to or seen from anywhere unless you type in the URL yourself. This page has many links to SWF's and other things that are actually part of many easter eggs or navigation features. If we restrict our criteria to the original intent most of this page would be gone. I think that we should create a separate page that lists all of these files (such as the preview SWF's above) that are visible SWF features in and of themselves ''(I used to think it was "in it of themlseves")'' but do not have their own HTML "frontend". (Or are special in some sense). Such links would indeed have a place in the encyclopedic nature of this wiki.<br />
#As a side note, the [[Talk:Stinkoman_20X6#XML|Stinkoman XML files]] could be [[Stinkoman_20X6_Source_Files|linked to]] from here (and perhaps their XML sources be copied for those who don't know how to see xml sources and are curious). <br />

Also, at first they were put in the second column, but then it was decided that the last column looks better so they were switched over.

::::Homework? What's that!? ;) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I'm still curious to know why this [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Secret_Pages&diff=206299&oldid=206289 diff] does not show the removal of the items. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::Thanks! I see it now! I wish I had checked it earlier. OH! I see the problem now. It still baffled me why the incongruency between the diff and the time the change actually took place. Between [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Secret_Pages&diff=prev&oldid=206299 these] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Secret_Pages&diff=next&oldid=206299 two] diffs, the earlier reflect the visual removal in the text but not the diff, whereas the latter finally shows the actualy removal in the code. I had not seen that that section I was looking at had been commented out(like this: <code><nowiki><!-- --></nowiki></code>) and thought there might be some bug in the diff system. Again, thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== one of these things is not like the others ==<br />
<br />
since my correction was already reverted I will take my concerns here:<br />
<br />
In my opinions the following items '''do not belong''' as secret pages. They are easter eggs... clickable from normal toons. They are not hidden URLs that you would have to know about like all the others on this page.<br />
<br />
*50 cake<br />
*Seriously! <br />
*Virus'd QoD<br />
*Virus'd Fanstuff <br />
*Virus'd Sketchbook <br />
*The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes buddy icons <br />
{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
:But to see them ''seperately'', you would have to know some special URL. That's the key, I thinks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::The place for them is not on this page, its on the individual toon in which they were egged, (which they already are). Eggs just don't belong as secret pages. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::As long as they're in a seperate section from the other things (''Site Components'') I'm fine with them here. Yes, you can see them, but they pages they are on are secret pages. (The content isn't secret, but the page is.) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:43, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I see nothing wrong with having a collection or list of these (as I pointed out in the discussion above this one). Joshua and Dorian are right, the URLs they reside on are secret. We ''could'' still differentiate them in the way I deliniated above. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::They ''are already'' differentiated. They have their own category. [[Secret Pages#Site Components]] - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::::I didn't even see the above convesation, they are pretty much the same topic. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:38, 2 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Site Components ... You can't have it both ways ==<br />
<br />
Ok I'm trying to appease those that want some of these site components here on the secret pages, but you can't it both ways.<br />
<br />
The following are item that are easily and can be clicked on:<br />
50 cake <br />
Seriously! <br />
Virus'd QoD <br />
Virus'd Fanstuff <br />
Virus'd Sketchbook <br />
The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes buddy icons <br />
<br />
I tried to have them removed but was overruled.<br />
<br />
Now items that are equally clickable but bring up seperate pages are the items I've just added.<br />
<br />
Either allow them all or delete them all. Personally, I think that they all should be removed as non of them are secret. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi IRF, I looked at the entries that were removed and here's the distinction I could make: the ones that you added had html pages that were linked to the museum and their flash components were linked directly from the HTML page. All of these entries already have their own page and link to the flash file itself like all other toon pages. The links posted in the site components page are different. These are actually ''flash files within flash files'', for which you can't simply open the flash file look at its source and examine the URL of its components. These are special flash files used as components of the main flash files in question. I hope that clears up your questions. (As a side note, and per my suggestions above, these should probably have their own separate page). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Both have the same format, a new window pops-up without an address bar from clicking on a flash file. They are both flash within a flash. The only difference is one is moving toon, and the other is a static menu. I still hold that either they all go or they all stay. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
:::It's twue. [/homestar] - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::Then they should either all stay or be moved to their own page. Deleting interesting content (that's even been here a while) is not a good practice. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::: (EDIT CONFLICT'D! Ow, my point!) Actually, that's true only of the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes stuff, which is also the only item I'd seriously consider dropping. "Seriously" is separate from the wallpapers and everything else appears in the same window. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::: Also, I forgot to say: not having an address bar does not stop you from seeing the URL or viewing the source... if you know where to look (try right-clicking outside the 'toon itself.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::'''Edit Conflict''' Ok I see what you mean now. I hadn't yet looked at the museum flash file, just the flash linked from the wiki page (ugh habits ... habits). You're absolutely right! They are flash components in the same way as the ones listed currently on site components. More specifically, some are shown as flash-within-flash (like the pom-pom first flash, the story of pom-pom, and the now-listed Seriously! egg), others open a new page (like original games menu, the original characters page, and the "Making out" easter egg in virus). On that standard, yes they should be on that page too! But they are not as secret. Again, I don't think it is useful to ''simply delete'' these components. A better home might be a [[Site Components]] page. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::::On another note, isle of pom, biz cas fri, tennis, etc all have their own html "cradle pages", the Virus Qod, etc. do ''not'' have such a page. More to the point: like Jay said, having an html cradled page does not preclude you from finding the flash source file, however you do not have that luxury with an in-line flash file without the use of an expensive decompiler. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:01, 7 December 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Homestar's Yearbook ==<br />
<br />
Let me start off by saying that I know that this is complete speculation that may not deserve to be part of the article. Does it seem likely that Homestar's Yearbook was meant to be an alternate heading for Strong Bad's Message Bored? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 02:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)<br />

== Divide Toons from Shorts. ==<br />
<br />
Hi. I've noticed that some of the Toons are short enough to be Shorts, and some others could be Holiday toons as well. Should we divide them into more sespific categories?<br />
<br />
:'Sup. First off, are we talking about [[Secret_Pages#Toons|these toons]]? Because if so, these are all [[Toons]], which include shorts, holiday toons, etc. We only mark toons holiday or shorts if homestarrunner.com. And since they don't categorize these, we just leave them an uncategorized, generic brand (TM) toons. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 17:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)<br />

==Looooong page==<br />
Why don't we split this article into separate pages? Secret Pages would then present the user with the option to view specific groups of items without having to load the ''entire list'' of every secret page. If I haven't gotten my point across, Secret Pages could link to, say, [[Secret Toons]], [[Secret Games]], [[Secret Old Navigation]], [[Secret Other Animations]], [[Secret Downloads]], [[Secret Music]], [[Secret Images]]. Yes, no? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

:Personally, I don't think this page is that long. But for the sake of editing it, that is a good idea. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
::I would be fine with keeping it together or splitting it up. The page is long, but it's not ''unbelievably'' long. I don't think that ease of editing has any bearing on whether the page should be split, since you can always click on the section edit links to effect the same thing. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::You're right, it's not loooooooong, it's just looooong. But it's an ugly page. Lots of tables that don't line up, and by scrolling it's easy to miss where one section ends and a new one begins. I know [[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] was ready to make this change "immediately" (see [[Talk:Matt Cake]]), so I'll let him know he can do the honors since there appear to be no complaints about splitting the page up. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 15:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

:::::What's not what who said? And anyway, make your case; where's your rebuttal? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
::::::What dot com said, and to have them all in one place makes sense, as they're the same thing. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::::::I'll try to exercise patience, now that we actually have someone against the idea. I say "split it", Super Martyo Brother says "good idea", Sysrq868 says "I like the idea" ([[Talk:Matt Cake]]), It's dot com says he's "fine with [either]". So, yeah, you're the first one to say it "should stay as it is". {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
::::::::DeFender1031: "They're the same thing" isn't really an excuse. We could merge all Strong Bad Emails, they're the same thing, right? And I'm not saying that it '''must''' be done, as this conversation started from the deletion discussion of [[Matt Cake]]. If we make each section their seperate page, we could fit the contents of the pages per secret item to those pages (although long lists are bad, a big bunch of micro-pages is even worse). If we keep this list on one page, we should also keep ''all'' the pages of the secret items. So: split and delete or leave everything as is, that's my opinion. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 18:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::::::::Split and delete the micro pages, yes. There aren't too many micro pages stemming from these secret pages, though. And that's not the reason I want it split. Appearance and usability are my biggest issues with it, it's ugly, it's long and I get lost scrolling through it. Anyway, I say a picture paints a thousand words. Why don't we create a point of comparison? In user space, create the separate pages. Then see what people think..? Can we do that? And Sysrq868, do you want to be the one to do that? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

:::::::::::Can't wait to see it. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
::::::::::::Well, here's a prototype: [[User:Sysrq868/Secret Pages]]. "Other Animations" is quite like what I had in mind. And also, the guiding page is to be polished. Any ideas, comments, suggestions? --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 20:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
After more reflection, I ''lean'' toward keeping it all one page. Far from being too long, I think the page is actually easier to browse in one piece. Like all pages of some length, it has a table of contents that makes jumping to a specific section simple. I'm beginning to think splitting it would just require more clicking and less ease of viewing. Regardless of what happens, none of the pages linked from this page should be merged into a table; they should remain linked individual pages. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
:On the first point, I agree. This page is better all together, as the table of contents makes for easy navigation and allows all the related content to appear on one page (and it isn't really ''that'' long, I think). No opinion as yet about any merges. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
::And when I say "none", I mean ''almost'' none. Most of the pages are too long to fit in a table, but there are one or two whose individual pages are nothing but a rehash of what's already in the on this page. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::I'm in favor of seperate pages. My computer is very old, and it takes a long time to load this one. (This and the characters page). I don't think it would be too hard to navigate through them. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 03:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

At the end, Strong Bad says the word "fans" a little differently.<br />

| [[Image:Unfinished Interview.PNG|100px]] || '''Metro.pop Interview''' || An unfinished version of the short [[The Interview]]. Among other differences between it and the final, Strong Bad and Homestar talk without moving their mouths in the second half, Homestar doesn't take out his shopping list or his pen and notebook, Strong Sad doesn't say "En guarde?", and Strong Bad's last line is "Thank you for your time" as opposed to "Get out of my face". Once the cartoon is over, it repeats instead of having an ending screen like all the other Toons. <!--A complete list of differences can already be found in The Interview's article, do not make the list on this article too long !-->|| [[HR:interview2.html|Watch the toon]]<br />[[HR:interview2.swf|View the Flash file]]<br />

<br />
Shall we add info about the New Li'l Brudder shirt?--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 00:28, 18 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
:That's for the [[Store]] page.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}<br />
<br />
==Li'l Brudder vs Little Brother?==<br />
<br />
Anyone think the name of this character might be a reference to the retro-rap group [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47819DD47A47020CF9E3E5384A77AF507CB53A9D94A706A58DDBC3D4A810275EA4FBB8A92ECB637E531AABE5AC20443D6D5EF57E3DE663D3BC1E7AC653E344807185438&sql=11:dxdjyl53xpsb~T1 Little Brother]? We know TBC like old-school rap, and LB are one of the leading groups in the retro-rap movement. On the flip side, "little brother" isn't exactly a unique phrase. It's probably a stretch, but knowing TBC's penchant for rap references, I thought it was worth putting out there. [[User:Totoro|Totoro]] 14:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren wrote a kids book quite popular in parts of Europe about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsson-on-the-Roof ''Lillebror'' and his friend Karlsson]. Now that's probably even more of a stretch, but who knows -- maybe Li'l Brudder is yet [[Viklas|another character]] with Swedish background, so friendly with Strong Badia... [[User:Csman|Csman]] 09:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
::I think it's all speculation. Yes, "little brother" is really not a unique term. And the German word "Bruder" (brother) seems to be somewhat closer to "Brudder" than the Swedish version. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Voicing ==<br />
<br />
Any idea if Matt does the voice for Li'l Brudder? It sounds pretty different, but I guess it could still be him... [[User:Dutchscout|Dutchscout]] 07:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Li%27l_BrudderLi'l Brudder2009-02-23T02:27:57Z<p>Erwin Morland: Li'l Brudder moved to Li'l Brudder on Vheels</p>

<div>[[Image:lil_b.png|thumb|He wants to be a quarterback!]]<br />
[[Image:lilbrudder.gif|thumb|left|Things are looking up.]]<br />
[[Image:somelilbrudders.PNG|thumb|He never had 3 more legs...]]<br />
'''Li'l Brudder''' is a drawing of a one-legged [[Dogs|puppy]] that [[Strong Bad]] uses to make everyone cry, and to crack himself up. According to Strong Bad, he can make it on his own, and he's going to one day "be a quarterback" that will "throw for 2000 yards." Whenever anyone (or at least [[Homestar Runner]] and [[The Cheat]]) sees this picture, they promptly burst into tears. He even managed to tear up the mighty Strong Bad himself, who then ran off, saying he had "a food in the oven".<br />
<br />
According to Strong Bad, he is NOT named after Strong Sad. The character of [[Tendafoot]], on the other hand, is based on Strong Sad.<br />
<br />
According to the [[SXSW Panel - 14 Mar 2005|2005 SXSW Panel]] featuring the [[The Brothers Chaps]], a stand-alone Li'l Brudder cartoon was started, though originally abandoned. Footage was shown of a logo and Li'l Brudder scraping his way across the screen.<br />
<br />
The Brothers Chaps did eventually complete the solo cartoon, calling it "The Li'l Brudder and Maybe Tendafoot Too Show!" It always brings Homestar Runner to tears. On the show, he is friends with Tendafoot, a no-legged [[The Dregs#Parrot|parrot]] and a [[The Dregs#Possum|possum]] with a human nose for a face.<br />
<br />
The reason as to why he has only one leg was revealed in The Li'l Brudder Show: his mother was a beagle, but his father was a unicycle.<br />
<br />
The, "I can make it on my own," catchphrase comes from [[invisibility]], where it appears in the Easter egg as one of the messages on the screen of the trashed [[Tandy 400]].<br />

:I'm wondering about that too, since we already have a link to homestarrunner.com in the ''External Links'' section. I might change it to "Everybody! Everybody!" soon though and we'll see what happens from there. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
::You should leave it the way it is. The caption shows a screenshot of homestarrunner.com as it appears in a typical web browser. In this case, a cutesy embellishment is not superior to simply describing what the image is. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

<br />

<br />
== Validation test? ==<br />
<br />
What is the validation test anyways? How can a website become valid? What does it mean if it's not valid? Hm??? {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 11:19, 28 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:When the web was young, the document format of webpages (HTML) was relatively loosely defined and very inconsistently interpreted by web browsers. Also the browsers created their own custom versions of it in order to add new features. Each one sort of did it's own thing with it. Certain things would work only in Internet Explorer but not in Netscape Navigator, and vice versa. Some pretty basic stuff would end up looking entirely different depending on the browser &mdash; and to do anything beyond basic would often require the authors to essentially re-design the entire page (or site) for each browser.<br />
<br />
:[[Wikipedia:Web standards|Web standards]], such as following strict rules for HTML, are an attempt bring some sanity to this, and the W3C validation test mentioned is a tool that will check a page and tell you how well you are following the standard. Nowadays, modern browsers will treat a "valid" document in a standard way, and pages will look much closer to the same in any browser. This makes people who have to write the code very very happy. (To this day, the big browsers will still revert back to using their own custom "quirks" if the document is invalid.)<br />
<br />
:As for H*R, it's pretty much entirely irrelevant &mdash; the content of their work is almost all presented in Flash, and the HTML is just there hold the Flash file, so it doesn't make any difference if it's valid or not really.<br />

== Redefine? ==<br />
<br />
Is it necessary for us to redefine what is and isn't a spin-off? Tangerine Dreams and Carol got deleted because they are simply recurring items, but that argument could also be made for the Wagon Fulla Pancakes. The highschool versions of the characters weren't allowed because they were used only in highschool and alternate universe, but Da Huuudge only made two appearances and had a nice long stay at that table. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== A Wagon Fulla Pampcakes? A speen-off? ==<br />
<br />
Should I delete the Wagon Fulla Pancakes? According to its article the only other thing it was in was [[Senorial Day]]. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:25, 8 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:I'm not sure I see your point. The fact that it shows up in [[Senorial Day]] is what makes it a spinoff. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:58, 8 June 2007 (UTC)\<br />
::I was just thinking that the wagon hasn't done anything important since montage. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::By this logic, does the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]] from personal favorites and Marzy's Answering Machine 8 count? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
My unbiased opinion is still the fact that the Wagon still hasn't done anything major enough since [[montage]] to count as a spin-off. If no one objects within the next five days, I will remove it, the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]], [[Ready for Primetime]] (included in [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]), [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]], and [[Female Lappy 486]] (the last 2 are merely character variations) from the table. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Well, "unbiased opinion" is a bit of an oxymoron, don't you think? If you have an opinion, you're automatically biased. But anyway, enough semantics. I think it's fair to say all of those aren't really spin-offs, so I think it would make sense to remove them. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Emails spun off of other emails ==<br />
<br />
Someone tried to put [[the paper]] as a spin-off of [[montage]]. I removed it because [[more armies]] and [[retirement]] weren't there as spin-offs of [[army]] and [[cliffhangers]], but I'm willing to hear if anyone thinks those three do belong here. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 20:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Does the lack of replies mean no one else wants them to be included as spin-offs, or that no one opposes to their addition? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
::I don't think they would count as spin-"offs", as they're still "on"...that is, they don't involve jokes or characters that started in an email and are continued in other toons, but things that started in an email and are continued in other emails.

== Spin-offs, not gags, not items, not characters, spin-offs. ==<br />
<br />
A [[Wikipedia:Spin-off|spin off]] is defined as "a new organization or entity formed by a split from a larger one" by Wikipedia. Running gags and characters are not spin-offs. Things like tape leg and places like The Office don't warrant being on this page just because their debut was in a sbemail. I feel that this page should be only for things like Teen Girl Squad and cheat commandos. Things that are ACTUALLY spin-offs. I propose a major '''rewrite and removal of irrelevant data''', as in its current state, this page is better labeled "Things that debuted in Strong Bad Emails" which, if there were a page like that, would get deleted very quickly, as it's too general a topic. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />

:::::I'd agree with making the changes Loafi and Defender have suggested. I'm thinking we leave the bands in, per Loafi's suggestion, as they are essentially separate franchises that have spun off of the sbemail franchise. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
::: I would propose the following as marginal (in keeping with the idea of a true spinoff)<br />
*Strong Badia (since it is an organizational subsection of Free Country, USA, complete with an [[army]] and [[flag day|national anthem]].<br />
*Circles (if we include Limozeen, but clearly less important in the grand scheme of things)<br />
*The Show (Like Cheat Commandos, and Li'l Budder, it's a separate entity)<br />
*Dangeresque (same reasoning as The Show)<br />
:::There could be an argument made for The Office, because of Biz Caz Fri puppet shorts, but that might be stretching the point too thin. As for the organization, the page will be basically a disambiguation page because of the topic; should the rewrite keep the current table format, or simply be a list? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Sounds to me you're actually better off using a category, and eliminating the page altogether. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:59, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Circles is just a song, not a spin-off. The office is just a place in the H*R universe, not a spin-off in it's own right. The Show is more kind of a running gag to me. I'd prefer an article, but if it's basically just a list under a heading, then Qermaq might actually have a point.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
::I see the show as a spinoff, the rest i agree with.<br />

::::I agree, cat works just as well. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />

But the characters ''in'' series should be left out to save work; for example, [[Cheat Commandos]] should be categorized as a spin-off, but the commandos' individual pages can be left out. &mdash; {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 22:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
::::::If that is the case, would [[Stinkoman]] and [[20X6]] be both tagged, since their origin is separate, or just one of those? The same question could be asked of [[Kerrek]] and [[Jhonka]]. Personally, I'd rather see it left strictly with direct spin-offs, like [[Trogdor]] and [[Teen Girl Squad]], that level, rather than going down to [[Homsar]] and [[tape-leg]] {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::::::Actually, the 20X6 ''places'' don't seem to have a definite origin from any toon. The closest thing would be Stinkoman himself, who should doubtlessly be considered a SBemail spin-off, but I would tag only [[20X6]] because the entire concept originated from an email (the article could say something like "The 20X6 universe began with the creation of [[Stinkoman]] in [[japanese cartoon]]"). As for the PQ characters, that's tough to say. It would make sense to tag them both because of their origins, but the PQ universe didn't originate from an email. What to include or exclude from the category will definitely need further discussion, but I think we should do it on the new category's talk page. &mdash; {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 23:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />

'''Don't eliminate the article in favour of the category:''' The category is a good thing, but it doesn't replace the article. The article contains information, such as the origin of the spinoff and reason, that can't be included in a category. There's no reason we can't have both a list article and a category for the same content: the two have very different functions. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:50, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />

I myself questioned the limits of this article at least twice on this page ("Redefine?" and "A Wagon Full Pancakes? A Speen-off?) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:I think it could stay if someone can remove the minor spin-offs. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
This page needs some intense, and I mean INTENSE cleanup. At least 3/4 of the content can be flat out deleted. All the characters and places should be deleted. It's worth keeping, but the size needs to be slashed. {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 01:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I've just removed a good chunk of the "spin-offs". Most of the ones I kept were supposedly stuff that Strong Bad dreamed up himself. I removed much of the stuff that merely by a coincidence got their start on the Strong Bad Emails. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
::It's a nice thought, except for the fact that some songs Strong Bad wrote got removed. But I already put those back. And Fhqwgads is more a creation of the person who wrote the email than it is of Strong Bad's, which is why [[Everybody to the Limit]] is now counted as [[i love you]]'s spin-off. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:30, 23 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
It looks to me like all that is left of the clean up is to decide once and for all whether or not the characters and songs should stay. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

==Clean Up==<br />
Should I change that deletion tag to a cleanup tag soon? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:I think that it has come to needing cleanup, rather than outright deletion. There's some question on the [[Category talk:Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|category talk]] page about what should be in or out, but that's something done during cleanup. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Unless 1 person objects by the next time I visit this site I will add the cleanup tag. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::Should we remove the songs or do they not defy the description? And if we will still count them, does anyone else think the Trogdor song truly began in [[guitar]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
Does the "looks fine to me" in the summary for the last edit refer merely to the sentence or to the whole article? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 14:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Toon spin offs==<br />
<br />
Is there a page for things that sup-off toons and not sbemails?<br />
:No. Can you think of anything than spun off of a nonsbemail toon? (I wasn't trying to be rude) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 01:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Well, i dont think so.<br />
<br />
== How many references? ==<br />
<br />
Does it matter now how many times something has appeared/been referenced before it appears here? Should [[sloshy]] be added after 1 short? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:The reason I had to ask was because of It's dot com's post explaining the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] ''did'' count because it appeared in one short (but it was only throwaway gag that lasted three seconds), which prompted me to add [[Grape-nuts Robot]] and [['Lectric Boots]]. But since we're cleaning the article now I was wondering if we changed that policy as well.

<hr />
<div>'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest game that he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear) and most are obscure titles from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.<br />

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been mostly replaced by compact discs and USB flash drives. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many modern computers replace the floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader. The 5.25 floppy disk was also featured in [[technology]], outside of the Floppy Disk Container. || [[Wikipedia:Floppy disk|Wikipedia]] [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Howstuffworks] [http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Accurite.com] <br />

All puzzles are solved using a variety of spells cast from a magical staff, with no traditional inventory. There weren't actually 24 disks, at least not for the original version. This is actually a reference to the "Stump Joke" from another famous Lucasfilms Game "The Secret of [[#monkey island|Monkey Island]]", wherein the user would be prompted to "insert disk 24", which did not exist. There was the option of six 5.25" Double Density (360KB) disks, or three 3.5" Double Density (720KB) floppies. Loom was also later released on CD-ROM with a bonus soundtrack disc bundled with Creative brand sound cards.

(High-risk United Nations Task-force), that must stop a cult planning to destroy Los Angeles. Each of the five characters has unique attributes, and the eleven weapons in the game range from an ordinary pistol to a highly destructive "Firebomb". || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/rise-of-the-triad-dark-war/ MobyGames] [[Wikipedia:Rise of the Triad|Wikipedia]]<br />

Although its CGI visuals were impressive for its time, it failed to make much of an impact in the US. The game is sometimes erroneously referred to as "D's Diner", due to a mistranslation.

=== Standard Image Size ===<br />
<br />
Okay, I've gone through and added a "|150px" to every screenshot. I like how this lines up everything in the first column. It also gives a bit more room for the text in the last column. However, this change will not make images bigger than the uploaded file. So do we like 150px? If so, we might want to upload slightly bigger screenshots for those few images.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:35, 17 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />

Image sizes fixed. Shogun and the hundredth e-mail ones look kinda small, but there's nothing we can really do about that. I think they're good enough.<br />

=== Floppy Explanation Sources ===<br />
<br />
Hey, you brought up a good point about the floppy summaries. Should we link to the source of each floppy summary. Most of my sources are big gaming history websites, old fansites and the like, sometimes multiple sources. But I really don't want to go back and re-find a source for each one. So should we link to all, or none? Or just a few (a solution I don't really like, I like uniformity). I would prefer to just give the history, and if anyone would like to know more they can always do their own research like I did. Or do you think that's not fair to the sources? I really don't think they'd mind...<br />
<br />
-- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 18:53, 17 Oct 2004 (PST)<br />
<br />
:I totally like linking to sources and additional information. I like Wikipedia the best, but a lot of this information can't be found there. I understand the hassle in re-finding all the places you got your information the first time, but I think it would be best for the page. If you need any help, just give me the method you used and I'll see what I can do.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:46, 17 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
Alright, most of my sources were from one of like 3 or 4 large repository sites of old 80's games info. So what I'm doing is going through each of the four sites, searching for each game, and linking the source to the page that comes up, if any. I just finished Moby, I'm going to go through another few later. Once those are all done, then we can still add a fansite or two, or other sites not uniformed. Try to keep the titles of the sites short though, or just write 'here', so as to keep the summaries column large enough. I'll just work away at it, and hopefully it'll be done by noonish.<br />
<br />
-- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 9:43, 18 Oct 2004 (PST)<br />
<br />
Sources are done, with a basic structure of the three main sources, (if you can find another one that has about 90% of the titles or more, let me know) each with a special name. I think any additional sources, fansites, ect, should just be named 'Here'. I think it makes sense.<br />

=== Remove redundancy ===<br />
<br />
Would it be prudent to reduce the duplication of identically named floppy disks and list all the emails that use the same label in the email column? Case in point, the blank disk, tongue of the fatman, lode runner, manhunter. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 16:35, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I second this notion and I'm fairly confident our buddy and main organizer of this section [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] would agree with you. By removing said duplicate images and simply using the email column for several email titles, the page can be made shorter (always a plus to keep the attention of page viewers and reduce clutter slightly) and would cease to "violate" the concept of [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once and Only Once]].<br />
:--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 10:22, 27 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
<br />
I respect your motions, notions, seconds, and checkin's. However, I would have to disagree. Of course, I do not own the page, since this is a Wiki, and therefore do not hold the last word, however I would like the oppourtunity to win you over. My reasonings are simple, and as follows:<br />
<br />
# First, it makes the list complete. Granted, the names and pictures and summaries and links are the same, but the location of them are different. Not a big difference, but it's there. Doubling them up would make the column different. Not a big deal, but it's there.<br />
# Second, there are only four of them. It's not alot, and likely there will not be any more ever doubling up. If it happened all the time, I would agree with you.<br />
# Third, two of them can't be doubled up very easily, leaving only two. Since one of these two basically NEEDS to be doubled up, only a few would be non doubled. Basically my argument, is double up all or none.<br />
# Fourth, The blank floppy disk summaries are completely different. One covers the big ones, the other covers the regular ones.<br />
# Fifth, Manhunter New York floppies are not in a row. They're not even in the same section, therefore destroying the sectioning of the page into e-mails and others.<br />
# Sixth, the once and only once policy is not technically violated thanks to templates. A technicallity yes, but it's there.<br />
# Seventh, the length of the page is only increased slightly, approxamently 6 or 7 precent, and the percentage drops after each floppy.<br />
# Eighth, I just like them doubled. <br />
<br />
Thats all the arguments I can come up with. Please read them and get back to me. I appreciate your bringing this up instead of just doubling them up yourselves, which is within your right. I hope that you can see it my way, but if you can't, then let me know and we'll discuss some more. I'll probably think up a few arguments later anyways. Thanks.<br />
<br />
[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 21:27, 27 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I Appreciate your comments and I will make sure we come to an agreement before any changes are made. You spent a lot of time on this page and it shows. I will go through each point with my comments.<br />
<br />
# Completeness: Having [[little animal]] and [[superhero name]] in the same column would not reduce the completeness of the list. It would only collapse a redundant row. The images are different screen caps, but I can’t tell the difference between them. <br />
# Only four: You are right, it is not a lot, and likely there will not be any more ever doubling up. It is significant as it happens a lot near the beginning of the list and it takes much scrolling to get to a unique disk.<br />
# Two can't be doubled: Which two can’t be doubled? Manhunter? Because one is in an email and the other is a toon? Irrelevant. There is no real need to distinguish the emails from the toons in this case. The second column will be labelled "Appearance" or "location" instead of “email”.<br />
# Blank floppy disk summaries: Both blank images are for 5.25" disk so the summary for both should be the same. The summary for the overall medium should be in the introduction of the page anyway.<br />
# Manhunter not in a row: I've addressed this, making me wonder if I misinterpreted number 3. <br />
# Once and only once policy: Templates have nothing to do with it. The "sources" links and descriptions are needlessly repeated.<br />
# Page length: True! The page length will not decrease significantly. But it will mean less pointless scrolling.<br />
# Like them doubled: Understandable. Even if we had strict article guidelines and formatting rules, each contributor would style the page differently. It is going to happen. I knew this was a pet page, so I didn’t want to ruffle feathers. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 23:49, 27 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
<br />
I've gotta say, you make a good case. Alright, how's this? I've made my case, you've made yours. And actually, I wouldn't mind shuffling the page around a bit more, organizing the toons in amongst the e-mails in order of chronology, find a few different ways of doing stuff. You make a good case. So I'll think it over, try and think of a good way of organizing it, and maybe start making changes in a day or so. Since the paper agrees with you as well, as I am sure he likely still will, then I guess the majority wins out. And actually, one thing that I did not consider, which is very possible, is that perhaps the puppet style floppy disk container will start popping up more as well, which will neccessitiate further formating changes. Thank you for your comments, and you've won me over. Provided The Paper still agrees with you. I'll look it over and be in touch. I'm also working another page at the moment, [[Puppet Stuff]]. That, [[Powered by The Cheat]], and I think pretty much all the subheadings of the toons menu are getting explanatory pages. But this page will not be lost in the shuffle, I promise.<br />
<br />
[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 12:55, 28 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
Alright, the pictures have been consolidated. Instead of segregating the occurances that weren't in Strong Bad e-mails, I simply sorted them chronologically. That took care of the Manhunter New York problem, since the e-mail and the toon were in a row. I also took the liberty of taking out the 'description' column, which was just as unneeded as mulitiple screenshots and summaries. The title is written right on the floppy disk screenshot, it's also the name of the picture for if you scroll your cursor over the pic, and it's generally the first words of the Explanation. This way the table is freed up a bit, leaving only nessicarry columns. I think the whole layout looks rather good now. If anyone thinks otherwise, feel free to let me know. It's always revertable. Thank you for your comments, and I think the new page looks much better. [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 09:07, 1 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />

=== Question: Pre-Piracy Copies, Perhaps? ===<br />
<br />
These disks look remarkably like the floppies used in my very own, very aged, very dusty Apple IIGS computer. In fact, I recently found a few old containers of said disks, direct from my computing childhood and actually including such titles as ''World Games'', ''Thexder'', ''Shogun'', and even the original ''Pirates'', and after I had a good eighties-child grin over this discovery, I suddenly remembered that almost all of those disks were '''copied''' (erm, borrowed?) from the immense old-time game collection of a now long-moved-away family friend. <br />
<br />
In short, all this made me wonder: are Strong Bad's disks copies? They have the same simple lined labels as my dusty ones, and their titles are clearly written by hand, as were mine. It would make a lot of sense for him to pirate his early software, but not being familiar with the labeling practices of early games, I'm not certain. Yet it would be interesting to note, eh?<br />
<br />
Incidentally, I no longer remember playing any of ye olde IIGS games. I do, however, recall playing ''Odell Lake''. Oh the shame. The shame.<br />
<br />
[[User:Queenie-C|Queenie-C]] 03:13, 01 Dec 2004 (PST)<br />
<br />
:That is quite true. All of my old shareware games I bought, they always did have real lables. By the looks of them, you're right! They likely are copied. However, just writing the titles are alot easier to paste into the toons then getting actual title graphics. Long story short, they probably did that because it was easier, not as a refferance to pirating. Good observation though. It does make you wonder...

They might be legal backup copies. In the floppy disk era, it was not uncommon to make a backup copy for daily use, in order to reduce wear and tear on the original master disk. 12 August 2005<br />

=== Why no split. ===<br />
<br />
I removed the split in the table that Thunderbird added. The table is still a table, and I don't quite understand how a spilt helps any. If it was simply so that people editing didn't have to scroll down so much in the edit box, I can almost understand, but it's not an acceptable reason. Additionally, the "Emails #1-99" and "Emails #100+" lines were incorrect, as these disks aren't simply from emails.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:08, 25 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
:I feel so ashamed. Yea, it was because when you did edit it, you were editing such a large page. That way you could edit only half a page at a time. And I knew the titles were wrong, I didn't quite know what to call them and figured a better title would come along eventually. Sorry. Okay, I won't try that again. But I still get points for fixing the synopsis of 'colorado' from the state to the game, right? '''Edit:''' Sorry if I sounded serious.

=== Floppy Disk Container Plus ===<br />
<br />
What does the "Plus" mean? {{User:Rainer/sig}} 03:38, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)<br />
<br />
:Actually, funny you should bring it up. Back when I started making this page, there was already a 'Floppy Disk Container' page, which simply had a list of the appearances, and what the title said. That was it. No extra information or anything. So I came along, and started up a new page, with screenshots, info, ect, kinda as a trial, under the page title 'Floppy Disk Contianer With Screenshots', soon after changed to simply 'Floppy Disk Container Plus'. It worked for the better, and eventually the origional page was edged out. Now all that remains there is a Redirect. It does makes way more sense to move it to Floppy Disk Container and make a redirect here instead, then slowly work through the links and try and move them all over. I've been thinking about it for a while, but I'm just a lazy procrastinator, which is a really bad combo. So are you up for the task, or do you want me to do it? ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔Thunderbird⇔</font>]]</tt>'' 16:43, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)<br />
<br />
::I went ahead and moved all the content from the Floppy Disk Container Plus article to here as well as this talk page. I even changed all the links and modified the redirect to it works properly (I hope!). Hopefully Thunderbird does not mind too much that his pride and joy has been moved. --[[User:The Paper|<sup>THE PAPER</sup>]] 22:47, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />

=== TI-99/4A ===<br />
<br />
I made an edit a week or two ago, correcting a mistake. Someone had said that Hunt the Wumpus was a game for the "TI-99" and "4A" calculators. I changed this to the "TI-994A home entertainment console" and someone reverted the change, saying that wasn't likely.<br />
<br />
There was a TI-994A (or 99/4A) home entertainment console, and Hunt the Wumpus was indeed a game for it. In fact, the MobyGames link links to the TI-99/4A version. I know this because I owned one of those consoles and that game. It came out in the early 1980s.<br />
<br />
The TI-99 doesn't seem to be a calculator, and neither does the TI-4A. The highest model at the moment is the TI-92+. Texas Instruments was also not producing graphing calculators in 1981. <br />
<br />
I'm going to change the paragraph back and direct naysayers to read the references:<br />
<br />
TI-99/4A:<br />
http://www.99er.net/ti.shtml<br />
http://oldcomputers.net/ti994a.html<br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A<br />
<br />
TI Calculators:<br />
http://www.ticalc.org/basics/calculators/<br />
<br />
: I think I was the one who had deleted it, and here's why: I had never heard of such a console, I couldn't find any evidence of such a console, and the MobyGames link was too vague. And looking at your links, I see why: there ''was'' no such thing as a TI-99/4A home entertainment console - the machine to which you refer was a computer, not a video game system. Sorry for changing it, but next time, make sure you actually replace the wrong information with information that is more correct. --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 20:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Jay: I won't split hairs with you by going back and changing it again. However, I still contend that the 99/4A could be considered a home entertainment console. It came with joysticks and took cartridges that contained games. It hooked up to a television. <br />
<br />
At least it isn't listed as a graphing calculator anymore :)<br />
<br />
::Using the Wiki link, I rewrote the article a bit, and hopefully clarified it to the satisfaction of all involved. There really isn't enough space in the article to do the history of the game justice, not to meantion all of the platforms it has been on, so I think this 'BASIC' description is good enough.

<br />
:I've often thought about this oddity, the only labled floppy that isn't a game. Though I belive that it does have a place on this page, since the precident is set with the [[Peasant's Quest]] and [[Where's an Egg?]] floppies - they don't have the container included either. The pic is large enough (at least 150x150px), but unfortunitly it is in the JPG format. We only use PNG's here, they come out better on the internet. If you'd like to re-upload the pic in PNG format, I'd be happy to whip up some sort of summary for it. Let me know. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:06, 9 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Link Format ==<br />
<br />
This link format really bothers me. The extra brackets don't need to be there and the links can be made wiki-links. Though it's a lot of links to do in one sitting for me right now. Also, I was tempted to link this in the SBemail template (same for the computer room) but i added cats instead. The main SBemail article does not seem to link to either article. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:24, 26 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Actually, that was me, and it did start out as a mistake. But then when I fixed it, the columns of "little arrow graphics" denoting "outside the wiki" were slightly cut off on the top without the brackets. I'm not quite sure why, and I tried an edit summary just now, and it seems the problem has since been fixed, likely with a recent upgrade. So now, yeah, we should fix them. But before we do, what about seeing if one of the Admins will add the four sources as a "Quick Link" format, similar to Wikipedia or IMBD? Wikipedia's already there, but intentially NOT quicklinked for the sake of conformity. So what do you guys think of those ideas? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:I've been sitting as far from my screen as possible, while also tilting my laptop screen back and forth. I find that it helps to see things better. I don't think that the third word is 'the', since the red ink goes high at the end of the word. I think 'bad' is better. Also, the bottom of 'f' in 'of' seems to almost blend with the top of the first letter in the bottom word. I think 'toons' might be a good match. The first word is tough, though, but I don't see any tall letters in it, such as 'h', 't', 'b', or 'd'.<br />
<br />
:I think, personally, that the reading of the podcast background, unless somebody gets some seriously it-came-straight-from-one-of-the-brothers-chap's-mouths style info, is totally subjective and any old demi-fan could say "I think it's 'murfreesboro on not peaches'!" and it would have to be a legitamate guess.

I'm not sure that Wraith means Wraith: The Oblivion. Wraith: The Oblivion is a pen-and-paper RPG (D&D style), not something you could get on a floppy. <br />

:Wow, you're quite right. Between the two links you gave me, I would have to assume it is the first one, simply because the second link was released in 1995, and I don't think any of their floppies have been games any later than around 1991. The first link didn't give any clue as to it's release date, (I even downloaded the game and read the readme file), but no luck. In any case, since the entry is a Pen and Paper RPG, I'm gonna change it to your second link, with what info we have.

Strong Bad is a bad guy. We know this. He says so. But he appears to want to prove it by having pirated copies of all of these games.

a very minor nit pick but a couple of times in this article the phrase "LucasFilm (now LucasArts) Games" pops up, this seems to suggest the the current name of George Lucas' games company is LucasArts Games, which it isnt its just plain old LucasArts. So shouldnt that line read "LucasFilm Games (now LucasArts)" instead?<br />

Don't know if it's worth mentioning - the BioForge game was released on CD only, so SB wouldn't be able to actually have it on diskette, even if it was pirated (he would need more than 100 diskettes for that). This raises an alternative to the piracy theory: SB doesn't actually have games on those diskettes, but rather just sticks labels on them. {{User:Groboclown/sig}} 14:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)<br />

:Sadly, the location where the Floppy Disk Container ''would'' have been was both replaced by the colouring book and blocked by Strong Bad's husky head.

==PINE==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
-- The official acronym for PINE is Program for Internet News and Email.<br />

<br />
== Contrast ==<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
*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)<br />
**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)<br />
***I've used several laptops, and I have never seen a contrast setting on any of them. I think it's a setting specific to the electron guns used in CRT monitors. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 00:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
****I've used a Toshiba 286 laptop with a blue LCD screen. It definately had a constrast knob, it was on the side of the computer.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 17:39, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
*****Then I was wrong, which wouldn't be the first time that's happened. Thanks. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
**Perhaps more relevent, the original Gateway Colorbook had a 486, color screen, and a contrast knob which had the interesting property of being able to invert the color like a photographic negative if you went too far in the wrong direction. --Anonymous<br />
***I, too, really like the LCD effect when I click on Lappy's screen. Probably because I imagine SB has to clean all those "fingerprints!" -- anonymous lurker 12:14, 13 Dec (PST<br />
*I personally don't think that TBC will bother adding contrast knobs. I mean, what realy purpose were they in the first place besides finding "glitches" when there was a cut scene? -[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:05, 11 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== OS Inspiration ==<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
Compy 386 was also mac-inspired. See e-mail "[[big white face]]" when Strong Mad runs "b/w" (You can see the Apple logo in the upper-left corner, as well as various other design similarities.) Also, The Cheat's computer is obviously an iMac.<br />
:Oh, yeah, it's '''definitely''' Mac-inspired.&mdash;[[User:StrongstarRunbad|StrongstarRunbad]] 14:53, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />

== Lappy outer logo ==<br />
<br />
Can anyone get a shot of the Lappy outer logo? When Strong Bad carries it in his fist blocks it.<br />
:I'm working on it, as you can see from [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/lappy_laptoplogo.png this image]. Also, if you wanted a screenshot of the logo that Strong Bad's head blocks when we first see the logo on screen, that image [http://img15.exs.cx/img15/3971/lappy_simple.png is here.] Even if I'm able to cut Strong Bad out from the screenshot of the ORIGINAL FRAME, the image quality will not be too high. Better to leave it small such as [http://img15.exs.cx/img15/3971/lappy_simple.th.png this thumbnail]. Hope this was helpful.<br />

== Fun Facts moved from STUFF ==<br />
<br />
=== Lappy Startup Screen ===<br />
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)<br />
<br />
*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]<br />
*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while. The sound and icon, however, are part of the Mac OS. If you have a Mac, try starting it up using Linux - the sound is the same, but the screen is different. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]<br />
*'''Shorten and Rewrite.''' Same as above. --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 04:15, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
*'''Comment.''' This has been up awhile, and while it appears that a rewrite is needed, no one has proposed one. Perhaps someone could do that? --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 16:03, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
*'''Move it.''' This goes on the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] page! --[[User:pianoplayerontheroof|Pianoplayerontheroof]]<br />
*'''STRONGLY DECLINE!''' The Mac bootup sound plays before any display shows, and System 8's loading screen does not have any fadein effects. Furthermore, the Mac OS 8 is only two colors, not four. --[[User:Aussie Evil|Aussie Evil]] 13:58, 7 Mar 2005 (MST) (sorry, forgot to sign)<br />

== DELETED!!! ==<br />
<br />
So, I've been think about the "DELETED" picture for the Lappy might be equal to the one in [[replacement]], maybe.--[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 15:58, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)<br />
:Except, of course, it still says DELETED!! [[User:Mee|Mee]]<br />
<br />
== Colors ==<br />
<br />
Does the explosion in "do over" count as more colors we have seen the lappy create? or not?<br />
:There should at least some note that it can display what seems to be an animated gif. --[[User:151.204.128.79|151.204.128.79]] 01:07, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* I think it should. Though there are little dots of green and blue in it (If you print screen, you don't even have to zoom in) I put in Maroon, brown, light brown, and beige. I think those are the main colors, buyt if anyone disagrees, please say so.<br />
<br />
:It's not going to be very easy to get every single color in the explosion. I think "The explosion in [[do over]]" would work, but not every color. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:53, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* I agree, so I think those four will do (Plus white, but it's already on the list) We <u>at least</u> should use brown and light brown, but maroon and beige should also be noted. If it's shown on the Lappy, then it should be noted. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 17:15, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I think we should ditch the section and note that, while mostly based on [[Wikipedia:Color Graphics Adapter|CGA]] graphics, it seems to also be able to display [[Wikipedia:Video Graphics Array|VGA]]. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:22, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* Even though I like the section, Shaodw Hog might be right.. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]<br />
<br />
And it would definately take a lot of color for the webcam. [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]<br />
<br />
So that would be SVGA, as a 486 computer with the specifications os Strong Bad's laptop seems to hold up to 256 colors. - [[User:20eric06|20eric06]] logged off<br />
<br />
Also, I found out that VGA supports 256 colors, but only with twakening. I'm only warning that in case that anyone tells me that. -[[User:201.48.50.180|201.48.50.180]] 04:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Plug In Wall==<br />
<br />
*Why is there still a plug in the wall that is still occupied. in email [[part-time job]] we see there is nothing on the back to plug in a wall.whats up with that? (audience laughs)<br />
<br />
:Laptops can run on either external power (with a plug) or internal power (battery). {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 21:58, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::With the lappy's 5 minute battery life it needs to be plugged in all the time.<br />
:::Plus Lappy don't charge on ''wii''kends<br />
<br />
== Picture spacing ==<br />
<br />
All the pictures on this page are giving it some very odd spacing... It looks kinda awful, an' I don't quite know how to fix it. Any one better at coding wanna take a crack at it? Or should we just jump right to a gallery? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
== 486 Insparation ==<br />
<br />
I had just thought of something. Do you think that the Lappy's number is a cross between the Compy's and Tandy's. Think about it: Tandy '''4'''00 and Compy 3'''86'''. ''[[User:Maggot Man|Maggot Man]] 23:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)''<br />
<br />
:From [[Lappy 486#The Real Computer]]:<blockquote>The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.</blockquote><br />
:See also [[Compy 386#The Real Computer]] and [[Tandy 400#The Real Computer]].&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Looks like one of those old heavy Zenith 386 laptops, or a Compaq LTE 5380.--[[User:67.161.122.193|67.161.122.193]] 05:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== More Colors or No Colors ==<br />
<br />
I'm not a member, I hope you all don't mind.<br />
I saw a discussion about the explosion's colors, but I also wanted to note that in the SBemail [[death metal]] Strong Bad has a video chat with [[Larry Palarochini]], the Video Thyme uses far more colors than the explosion, and having to note all possible colors would eventually result in it no long being as much 'several' colors.<br />
I do believe that the section on 'Colors' in the Lappy article could be removed.<br />
:The video chat and the explosion are covered under "Video colours". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::Oh! I'm sorry, I had overlooked that, just ignore this then... - Same person as above<br />
:::No problem. I overlook stuff all the time. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::I agree with Anonny; the colours section is unbecoming. While it's true that the female lappy 486 icon displays in just ~4 colours (cyan, magenta, yellow, red), look closer. She's actually anti-aliased with several shades of those colours, in individual pixels. Enough shades to upgrade the computer at least to 256-colour VGA status. [[User:154.5.22.109|154.5.22.109]] 03:54, 20 September 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I also think it's pointless. "Video colors" is hardly a single color. There's simply too many. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::I also agree. But maybe insted of a complete list of colors, a little something on the technical aspects of the screen? Like an explanation on the 256 VGA mentioned above. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Merged from Female Lappy 486 ==<br />
<br />
I got rid of the below:<br />
<br />
== Quick Facts ==<br />
*The Female Lappy looks to be inspired by the movie [http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?id=1800133713&d=hv&cf=info "War Games"] in which<br />
a talking computer would greet and interact with its user, David.<br />
<br />
It's not at all unique to ''War Games''. What aboot ''2001: A Space Oddysey'', or, ''Knight Rider''? Point is, a computer that talks to the user isn't a reference to any specific thing. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 14:29, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
I wouldn't know. I've never seen the movie. But if the talking computer in War Games has blonde hair and a female face, I think it can be considered a valid reference. :) <br><br />
Female Lappy 486 is the first hrwiki page I've ever created. *treasures it somehow* --[[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]]<br />
<br />
Many combolations, Elizimath. ---[[User:Bellatrix|Bellatrix]]<br />
<br />
== Merge with Lappy 486 ==<br />
<br />
I think the female persona has become established to the point that it is a true part of the Lappy. I therefore don't see the need for two pages on the subject. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== LCD Liquid...scroll buttons? ==<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed that when you click the scroll bar(and buttons) on the 'Denny's Menu' area it makes the LCD effect? It's almost like the scroll buttons are actually on the screen and you have to exert force with your finger to make it scroll down. -- [[User:Abelhawk|Abelhawk]] 20:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Maybe the Lappy has a touch screen. It's pretty advenced, for Strong Bad. [[User:DrPepper42|The man with no plan- DrPepper42]] 02:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Female Lappy sounds like Michael Jackson? ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
Does anyone else think that the Female Lappy sounds like Michael Jackson?<br />
<br />
This doesn't need to actually be added to the trivia or facts on the Wiki, it's just funny to me...--[[User:128.120.173.80|128.120.173.80]] 14:49, 27 April 2007 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Latest version of Glitch0 ==<br />
<br />
Apparently, the Lappy's font also contains [[dreamail|letters]] with [[portrait|accent marks]] and a [[business trip|tilde]] (~). SOMEBODY besides the Brothers Chaps should have the latest version of the font, right? 'Cause some of the characters in the version I downloaded are just plain squares. --[[User:66.82.9.110|66.82.9.110]] 03:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
:Maybe they're custom. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Screen Circles ==<br />
<br />
Hey, I noticed that if you click on the beige border just above the screen, a part of a circle still appears on the screen. It works only closer to the screen on the border, and much easier to do in flash files. Is there an explination for this?--{{User:AWMPSCE/sig}} 15:45, 22 December 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== EGA, CGA, or VGA? ==<br />
<br />
so, what display might the lappy use? CGA seems unlikely given the colors lappy has used...<br />

<br />
== Understated feature list ==<br />
<br />
* 42 pounds!! (19 kilograms—"Extremely portable" according to Strong Bad in animal; he later describes it as "allegedly portable" in technology.)<br />
<br />
:Not likely whatsoever; Most laptops are going to be no more than 10lbs, even vintage ones.<br />
<br />
* 2MB Hard Drive! (Later said to be 5MB, as of retirement)<br />
<br />
:I don't believe hard drives were ever made in 2MB capacities; either way, a 486-era machine would likely have a hard drive in the neighborhood of 150 to 600MB.<br />
<br />
* "Several" Color Monitor<br />
<br />
:It's likely going to have 8 bit video, providing a palette of 256 possible colors.<br />
<br />
* Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in part-time job)<br />
** In Homestar Ruiner and Strong Badia the Free, Strong Bad claims the Lappy's battery takes five to seven business days to fully charge ("The Lappy don't charge on weekends.") <br />
<br />
:This one is semipossible; a battery of such vintage would likely have degraded to the point of uselessness, and would more than likely have a battery life of 5 seconds if that, and would actually never charge.<br />
<br />
* 512K RAM (0.5 MB)<br />
<br />
:A 486-vintage machine would likely have AT LEAST 2MB of RAM, with 4MB and 8MB being more likely, barring upgrades and expansions.<br />
<br />
* "Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy<br />
<br />
:This could mean that it's Compy's first laptop model, since laptops had been around from well before the 486 era.<br />
<br />
* Although never mentioned, the Lappy may support a wireless internet connection. In part-time job, isp, Happy Dethemberween, licensed, rated, and your edge, it can be seen that Strong Bad does not use the Lappy's Ethernet socket.<br />
<br />
:486-era laptops did not have built-in ethernet ports, except perhaps in some extreme or specialized cases. (PCMCIA cards typically provided an ethernet connection as well as the network hardware to support it.) As for a wireless internet connection, it's possible that one could be provided via a PCMCIA card, or this could be a case similar to the disconnected telephones.<br />
<br />
* In the email environment, claims made about the Lappy include:<br />
** Every time the "enter" key is pressed, everyone else in town will temporarily lose electricity.<br />
** When the Lappy runs on battery power, 45 acres of rainforest are burned to the ground. <br />
<br />
:Looking at the power requirements listed on my personal "Lappy 486" (an Ambra OEM Sceptre TS30AS using an Intel i486SX @ 33MHz), the power inputs needed are 17V @ 1A/2A or 20V @ 1.05A. Using P=IV, this works out to 17-34W, which is actually quite reasonable. {{unsigned|68.10.121.73|02:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)}}<br />
<br />
:Of course these don't seem real. The Lappy's supposed to sound like a really crappy computer. Also, it's a cartoon, you probably shouldn't worry about it. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 02:31, 28 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== The Lappy a Boy??? ==<br />
<br />
In the introduction, it says that the Lappy was introduced as being male ("boy"). However, I think SB is using the term "boy" in that context to simply refer to the thing itself, and not to infer anything about its gender. I suggest it be reworded so as not to imply that he meant the Lappy was male.<br />
:The term "brother" is indisputably male. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:15, 22 December 2008 (UTC)</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Lappy_486Lappy 4862009-02-23T02:27:23Z<p>Erwin Morland: Lappy 486 moved to Lappy 486 FUCK SHIT ASSHOLE COCK CUNT</p>

<div>[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|right|thumb|"Now that is a classy start-up noise!"]]<br />
[[Image:Lappy logo.PNG|right|thumb|The Lappy's logo.]]<br />
<br />
The '''Lappy 486''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s third and current computer, manufactured by [[Compy, Inc]]. It utilizes a more modern email client that includes a subject line, a reply panel, and the following easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. (Delete, Save, Computer, and Image are usually hidden behind Strong Bad's head.) However, all of it disappears when Strong Bad clears the screen to continue typing.<br />
<br />
The Lappy seems to be Strong Bad's favorite computer to date, as evidenced by how highly he speaks of it in [[animal]]. Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy" (though his attempt to repeat it is out of tune).<br />
<br />
In [[animal]], it is revealed that the Lappy is male, as Strong Bad says, "Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails," and tells [[The Paper]] to "come and meet [his] new brother". Despite this, the Lappy tends to appear in [[#Female Lappy 486|female form]] much more often.<br />
<br />
In addition to the usual [[DELETED!]] feature, the Lappy can also flash a "DO OVER!!" screen with an explosion effect, as seen in [[do over]].<br />
<br />
Despite its excessive weight, Strong Bad has been seen carrying it on various occasions.<br />
<br />
==Quick Facts==<br />

'''Debut:''' First seen in "[[animal]]." First mentioned by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the "[[invisibility]]" [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary.<br />
<br />
'''Interactive Feature:''' Clicking on the Lappy's screen simulates the effect seen on LCD Monitors: applied force moves the liquid inside (a Liquid Crystal Display), causing a "wave" of distorted colors. Whenever the Lappy 486 is seen in an email or toon, the screen can be clicked to get the effect that is similar on most LCD flat panel monitors. The circle matches the color of what is in the reflection (i.e. red for Strong Bad's head, green for Strong Bad's eyes, etc.). If you hold the mouse button or move it slightly while clicking the Lappy's screen, the effect won't move with the mouse; it will go away if you leave its circle of effect. This is also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons besides the Polish [[Block]].<br />

*Although never mentioned, the Lappy may support a wireless internet connection. In [[part-time job]], [[isp]], [[Happy Dethemberween]], [[licensed]], [[rated]], [[your edge]], and [[email thunder]], it can be seen that Strong Bad does not use the Lappy's Ethernet socket.<br />

==Colors==<br />
[[Image:lappyemail.png|right|thumb|Lappy 486's email client.]]<br />
The screen boasts "several" colors in the email [[animal]]. The number of colors present suggest that the Lappy 486 uses at least a VGA display.<br />

==Programs==<br />
[[Image:sbemail lappy2.png|right|thumb|Strong Bad checks his email.]]<br />
Some of the programs Strong Bad has on the Lappy 486, most of which are started by typing the filename only after the prompt:<br />
<br />
*'''strongbad_email.exe''' &mdash; (Used in emails 119-current except for [[secret identity|email 142 (secret identity)]] (see below), [[retirement|email 159 (retirement)]], which had two emails checked on the Tandy and the Compy, and [[from work|email 169 (from work)]] which was checked on the [[Corpy NT6]].)<br />
*'''run "Edga Jr."''' ([[long pants]]) &mdash; filters emails with indents<br />
*'''run "webcam"''' ([[death metal]]) &mdash; initiates live video chat with [[Larry Palaroncini]]<br />
*'''strongbad_email.wad''' ([[secret identity]]) &mdash; Strong Bad inexplicably types this to access his email (DOS usually does not recognize WAD files as executables).<br />
*'''screen_savior.exe''' ([[technology]]) &mdash; runs an infinitely repeating 3D Maze screensaver with poor graphics<br />
*'''Edgar's Baby's Daddy''' (filename unknown) ([[candy product]]) &mdash; Filters emails from [[Homestar Runner]]<br />
*'''karatecar.exe''' ([[the movies]]) &mdash; an [[ASCII art]] movie played on the Lappy's screen<br />
*'''strongbad3Dtotal.wad''' ([[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]) &mdash; A simple 3D game featuring Strong Bad and Homestar.<br />
*Some type of voice synthesizer.<br />
*'''CG4AP101.wad''' ([[Homestar Ruiner]]'s Wii Channel) &mdash; displays the logo for Homestar Ruiner, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.<br />
*'''other_gems.exe''' and '''more_other_gems.exe''' ([[being mean]]) &mdash; displays other emails this email's sender, Nice Dad, has sent.<br />
*'''CG4AP102.wad''' ([[Strong Badia the Free]]'s Wii Channel) &mdash; displays the logo for Strong Badia the Free, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.<br />
*'''CG4AP103.wad''' ([[Baddest of the Bands]]' Wii Channel) &mdash; displays the logo for Baddest of the Bands, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.<br />
*'''CG4AP104.wad''' ([[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'s Wii Channel) &mdash; displays the logo for Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.<br />
*'''CG4AP105.wad''' ([[8-Bit is Enough]]'s Wii Channel) &mdash; displays the logo for 8-Bit is Enough, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.<br />
<br />
==The Real Computer==<br />
[[Image:Real-Live E-Mails_Disc4.JPG|thumb|The "real" Lappy, as seen in [[Real-Live E-Mails]].]]<br />
The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.<br />
<br />
The Lappy seems to be inspired by the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1005 Mac Portable], a 16-pound transportable Macintosh that sold poorly.<br />
<br />
The "real" Lappy (pictured) is an old [[Wikipedia:Compaq LTE|Compaq LTE series laptop]].<br />
<br />
The Lappy 486's prompt, a closing square bracket, was also used by the Apple II series of computers, although MS-DOS could be configured to produce this prompt.<br />
<br />
==Lappy-napping==<br />
[[Image:Computers in harmony.png|thumb|"I coulda sworn one of you guys liked hushpuppies."]]<br />
At the end of [[cliffhangers]], the Lappy was stolen. The perpetrators left behind a ransom note stating "i got your Lappy" along with the Lappy's severed "toe" (the "< ," key). After searching for his missing computer in [[Lappynapped!]], Strong Bad discovered that the [[Tandy 400]] and the [[Compy 386]] had kidnapped the Lappy so that he would answer one last email on each of them. Strong Bad answered the Tandy's and the Compy's last emails in [[retirement]], and in the process destroyed both of them and retrieved the Lappy. Strong Bad took his favorite "portable" computer out to get hushpuppies with the restored, at-peace ghosts of the two other computers and [[The Paper]] following along in harmony.<br />
<br />
==Female Lappy 486==<br />
[[Image:female_lappy_486.png|thumb|Strong Bad's looking prooty hot.]]<br />
The Female Lappy 486 appears in Strong Bad's dream email in [[dreamail]]. She's basically the Lappy 486 logo with blonde hair and makeup. She appears when Strong Bad starts up the Lappy, telling him that he's "looking prooty hot". Female Lappy 486 fawns over Strong Bad for his reply to an e-mail ("Well played, Strong Bad. Those ladies are sure to be [[all up ons]]."). After Strong Bad flies away at the end of the e-mail, she appears in an Easter egg, telling Strong Bad not to fly, that's she's worried about him, and that she can see the strings which are holding him above ground. Apparently, she seems to rely on Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
The monitor of Female Lappy 486 is bordered with a gold chain bearing the phrase, "MY LAPPY ATE YOUR DOG" inscribed on top.<br />
<br />
It has since then appeared on the normal Lappy, suggesting that it is an actual feature of it.<br />
<br />
Female Lappy 486 frequently makes [[Malapropisms|spelling]] and [[Deliberately poor English|grammar]] mistakes, such as "prooty hot", "one unread messages", "is understairs", "I'm hate hushpuppies", and "tell whim I love", and speaks with a voice that sounds somewhat like a computer [[Wikipedia:Speech synthesis|speech synthesizer]].<br />

<br />
== For some reason ==<br />
<br />
For some reason, Strong Bad has never referred to the Tandy as "the Tandy".<br />
<br />
That's right! He has only said, like, "my old crappy computer". He sure didn't like the Tandy but I liked it since it was the computer that started it all! [[User:85.228.165.63|85.228.165.63]] 14:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Tandy's Gender ==<br />
<br />
I think the Tandy must be a female computer since in the e-mail "sisters" (e-mail #35) Strong Bad says "and the old girl's working again" in the beginning. I refer to my computer as a female since the old clunker is very temperamental. (lol.) --[[User:Osiris-Kitty|Osiris-Kitty]] 01:55, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
* I don't think the computers were really ever given a specific gender. They're just computers. Besides, 'the old girl' is just a figure of speech. Good observation though. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 03:31, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
*It should be noted that, in [[invisibility]], when the Tandy is lying in the trash, it says "Tell the printer I'll miss HER". -[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]<br />
**Yea, I noted that a few weeks ago, [[The Paper|here]]. Under 'Fun Facts' I think, or something. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 14:32, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
**Just because Tandy said "Tell the printer I'll miss her", it doesn't mean that Tandy is a male. Tandy and the printer could simply be friends. I think Tandy is a girl, and I think the Compy and the Lappy are guys. As for the Tangerine Dreams and the Pom Pilot, I'm not sure what their gender is. -- [[User:Ian911299|Ian911299]]<br />
*Strong Bad refered to the Compy as his brother in virus --[[User:ninja pirate|ninja pirate]] 17:10, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
**Hmmm... Quite true. In that case, I don't WANT to know anymore... -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<small><tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold>⇔Thunderbird⇔</font>]]</tt></small>'']] 17:32, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)<br />
**That was nothing significant: just a slip of the tongue. He corrected himself immediately afterwards. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 19:21, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
:Whatever anything is, I find this debate seemingly pointless. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 15:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Steep Prices and Trees ==<br />
<br />
:"[[Bubs]] later salvaged the Tandy 400 and sold it to [[The King of Town]] '''for $900'''."<br />
<br />
Is this part true? Where is it from? I can recall [[Strong Bad]] needing $900 from [[Strong Sad]] to get a new computer in [[gimmicks]], but I can't find any info on how much Bubs sold it for. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 14:51, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I don't remember that, either. I've removed it until someone can show something different. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:26, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::"Tandy 400! Slightly Not-Working - Only $900!!" is what the title of the [[King_of_Town_Email]] page reads. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:30, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Oh, YEAH!! There it is. I couldn't remember. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:34, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

== Real Computer ==<br />
<br />
On the fact that the Tandy 400 was a real computer, it's true! I heard it from a librarian in an obscure library in Northeast Harbor, ME: "The first computer my son had was a Tandy 400." (all the library's computers were Tandys).<br />
-[[User:Tapd260|Tapd260]]<br />
:Most likely she was referring to either the TRS-80, 1000, or 2000 models, as they were the only Tandy computers that were ever manufactured. The 1000 was probably the one her son used, being the most popular of the three models, but I wouldn't know which was used in the libraries. The Tandy 1000's case and monitor were very bulky, making them unlikely candidates for a library system, but it could've been any of them I suppose.<br />-[[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 08:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Looks a bit like the G.Z.E. UNIMOR Bossman 8.--[[User:67.161.122.193|67.161.122.193]] 05:03, 1 January 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Flashback Computer? ==<br />
<br />
Since it has now appeared twice, should we change the computer used in [[personal favorites]] and [[lady...ing]] to 'Flashback Computer', or something else appropriate? It was never stated that that computer is supposed to be the Tandy, it could be that it's supposed to be a computer even older than the Tandy. Any thoughts? I'm up for moving it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:56, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Mixed Message==<br />
<br />
At the end of [[gimmicks]] when [[Strong Bad]] is in [[Strong Sad]]'s room after the Tandy explodes, he says he liked that computer. While in [[sisters]] he says he hates it. Is this just because he missed an oppertunity of hooking up with Ali and Ali's sister? [[User:Catman87]]<br />
<br />
:Yes. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:48, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::In fact, they were probably a play on each other, and his growing hatred of the Tandy. How he says he liked it, then two emails later, says the exact opposite in the same tone. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:44, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== The Tandy is Not Dead! ==<br />
<br />
The tandy even after it's been gotten rid of as shown in "vacation" it is not dead in ghosts it is shown that it seeks vengence on Strong Bad it is still poping up hear and there like in pumpkin stencals and 3-D menu #2 (easter egg). Like the cheat "The Tandys not Dead"!<br />
:Doesn't its being a ghost mean that it has died? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
== Dirt ==<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed some brwon dirt in the lower left corner of the tandys screen? I noticed it when viewing a flash file.<br />
<br />
== Dials or buttons ==<br />
<br />
I pulled this from the [[Tandy 400#Quick Facts|Quick Facts]]...<blockquote>There is a possible mistake here, as both buttons actually appear to be dials. One would expect that, in real life, moving a dial one way would produce one effect (ie: greener screen), and moving it the other way would produce the opposite (ie: blacker screen). However, there are two dials.</blockquote>I'm ambivalent about this... certainly it's true to an extent, after it [[sisters|explodes and returns]] you can see they're dials, not buttons. On the other hand, I don't think it's a mistake as such, any more than, say, the geddup noise is a mistake... rather, something they did, realised, and then decided to stick with anyway. Also, having them act as two buttons is much simpler to make, and to make usable (the [[Compy 386]]'s single knob with two hotspots is a bit more confusing, to me at least). Either way, I don't think "Quick Facts" is the best place to put it... but there's nowhere that looks better on the page... Anyways, I'm too tired at the moment to think of something better, so I'll leave that there for you guys. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Radio shack ==<br />
<br />
I recently was looking at an old bagphone I have and noticed that it said "manufactured for Radio Shack a division of the Tandy Company" on the label. Weird. [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 19:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />

<br />
*Anyone here besides me think the company that makes the 400 is a homage to/parody of Apple? [[User:67.41.213.180|67.41.213.180]] 01:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
*:Yup. See [[Tandy 400#The Real Computer]]. The logo is very simular to the apple logo. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld&#39;s Teh C]] 02:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Atari reference? ==<br />
<br />
While there's never been a real-life Tandy 400, the name could also be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Atari 8-bit Family|Atari 400]], which was developed under the codename "Candy".<br />
<br />
== Redirect ==<br />
<br />
Why doesn't "The 400" redirect to this article; (odd punctuation mark on purpose because Strong Bad says "y76p;" like it ends with a question mark in virus) "The 386" redirects to Compy 386 and "The 486" redirects to Lappy 486. --[[User:Tandy 400 Dreams|Tandy 400 Dreams]] ([[User talk:Tandy 400 Dreams|Tandy]] · [[Special:Contributions/Tandy 400 Dreams|400]]) 20:53, 27 December 2008 (UTC)<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:sbemail1.PNG|thumb|Many green lines]]<br />
The '''Tandy 400''' was [[Strong Bad]]'s first computer. He used it to answer emails until the 33rd email, "[[gimmicks]]," when it suddenly crashed and subsequently exploded.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
After using [[Tangerine Dreams]] to check his email during "[[weird dream]]," Strong Bad got "the old girl" working again in "[[sisters]]," although the repaired Tandy was still [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|malfunctioning]]. Strong Bad made do with the damage for a while until he returned from his [[vacation]] in "[[invisibility]]," replacing the Tandy 400 with the [[Compy 386]]. Tandy 400 made several disparaging remarks when it was thrown out, including: "386? More like three eighty SUCKS!" <br />
<br />
The Tandy 400 haunted [[Strong Badia]] for some time. The computer appeared floating in mid-air in "[[ghosts]]," displaying a [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] on its screen. [[Bubs]] later salvaged the Tandy 400 and sold it to [[The King of Town]] for $900, who attempted to [[King of Town Email|check his email]] with it in an Easter egg in The [[King of Town Main Page]].<br />
<br />
The Tandy 400 seems to be [[Strong Bad]]'s least favorite computer, as evidenced by his indifference whilst knocking the Tandy off the desk in "invisibility" and his comments about it in "[[pop-up]]". He claims that he "liked that computer" in [[gimmicks]] when it blew up, but his loathing of the machine is likely to have originated in "sisters" when it malfunctioned and automatically deleted Ali's email. In contrast, he seemed a lot more broken up about the Compy's demise in [[virus]] than he did when the Tandy exploded.<br />
<br />
After a long absence, the Tandy reappeared in [[retirement]] after Lappynapping the [[Lappy 486]] with the help of the Compy 386. In exchange for the safe return of the Lappy, Strong Bad agreed to check one last email on each of the two abandoned computers. Strong Bad answered the question "do you remember the email you deleted the hardest" by filling the Tandy with [[Mountain Dew]] and [[The King of Town]]'s denture tablets and singing the hymn "Deleted" with organ accompaniment. The Tandy exploded in a bad graphics mushroom cloud, being killed and fully destroyed. Its restored ghost appeared at the end of the email with the ghost of the Compy.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, no character has ever referred to the Tandy by name, and appearances outside of the Tandy-era have the "contrast" label either with a different font or mispositioned.<br />
<br />
== Quick Facts ==<br />
<br />
'''Debut:''' Email [[some kinda robot]]<br />
<br />
'''Interactive Feature''': Clicking the contrast buttons in the lower-left corner of the computer will change the background color gradually from black to green. The left button makes the screen darker and the right button makes it greener. There are 13 levels of contrast.<br />

<br />
== Programs ==<br />
<br />
Some of the programs Strong Bad had on the Tandy 400, all of which were started by typing "run" plus the filename in double quotes:<br />
<br />
*'''strongbad's_email''' (Used in emails 1-40 except for [[the bird|email 24 (the bird)]], which was checked on [[Pom Pom]]'s [[Pom Pilot]], and [[weird dream|email 34 (weird dream)]] which was checked on The Cheat's [[Tangerine Dreams]]. It was used again in [[retirement]].)<br />
<br />
*'''temple_of_apshai''' ([[homestar hair]])<br />
<br />
*'''internet''' ([[credit card]]) (Strong Bad's homepage must be [[credit card#Cost of "Coolest Stuff Ever"|the_coolest_stuff_ever.com]])<br />
<br />
*'''duckpond''' ([[duck pond]])<br />
<br />
== The Real Computer ==<br />
<br />
[[Wikipedia:Tandy Corporation|Tandy Corporation]] helped to start the personal computer revolution with its [http://www.8bit-micro.com/model1.htm TRS-80] (affectionately known as the "Trash-80") in 1977. Tandy 400 probably gets its name from the [http://www.8bit-micro.com/tandy2000.htm Tandy 2000] and [http://www.8bit-micro.com/tandypc.htm 1000], Tandy's first [[Wikipedia:IBM PC compatible|"IBM-PC compatible"]] machines produced in 1984. However, Tandy did not produce a "400" model, so the naming is probably just to show how old the computer is. The 400 shares several design features with the TRS-80, including two contrast knobs on the monitor, and a monochrome green display composed of rectangular characters.<br />
<br />
The rainbow star logo on Tandy 400 is a play on an early [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple Computer]] logo which featured a [[Wikipedia:Image:Apple Computer Logo.svg|rainbow-colored apple with a missing bite]].<br />
<br />
Some believe that the Tandy 400 is a model of the [[Wikipedia:Apple II series|Apple II]] computer, due to the nature of the [[Wikipedia:ProDOS|ProDOS]]-like operating system and the monitor. In the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary of "[[cartoon]]," Strong Bad refers to it as an "Apple monitor." As well, in the e-mails [[sugarbob]] and [[retirement]], the Tandy made several system sounds used in [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].<br />
<br />
Because of the fact that no [[Wikipedia:Computer Case|computer tower]] is visible, the Tandy (and later, the [[Compy 386|Compy]]) may be an homage to the Apple Macintosh, since all of the internal workings were contained in the monitor case itself.<br />

<div>==Contents of former "Stool" article==<br />
Should we merge this with [[Computer Room]]?. The Stool is hardly unique in and off itself.- [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 16:00, 27 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
:I agree. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br />
:I agree aswell. This article is pointless &rarr;[[User:evin290|evin290]] 13:04, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)<br />
<br />
==Image Inconsistency==<br />
Okay, this has to be called up (again, I guess). If anyone has other things to bring to/contradict this please do. <br />
<br />
Presented Facts:<br />
*[[techno]] : The Lightswitch area has no carpet under it. There is a table on the right hand side of the lightswitch area, with no carpet under the left side.<br />
*[[no loafing]] : In the 80's, Strong Bad's computer was on the previously mentioned table. There was also carpet under the area which would become the Lightswitch area, indicating some sort of issue involving that piece of carpet.<br />
*[[flashback]] : Strong Bad's current-era computer desk has carpet under it's left side.<br />
<br />
'''Possible Resolution:''' There is a second table in the room, to the left of Strong Bad's Computer. In the 80's, Strong Bad kept his computer here, but at some point moved it. -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 23:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)<br />

== No Loafing, window, & blue walls. ==<br />
<br />
Three places in the Strong house have sky blue walls; the garage, the Cheat's computer area, & the laundry room. Strong Bad's office has dark blue walls. The Laundry room & garage might actually be one & the same, & the cheat possibly does his email in there as well...& apparently Bubs uses it to his ISP headquarters. There is a no loafing sign in the garage. As for the window...sometimes it's to the left of Strong Bad's computer, & sometimes it's on a different wall to the right of his computer.</div>Erwin Morlandhttp://hrwiki.org/wiki/Computer_RoomComputer Room2009-02-23T02:27:06Z<p>Erwin Morland: Computer Room moved to HAGGER?</p>

<div>[[Image:ComputerRoomFull.PNG|thumb|From [[flashback]], [[pop-up]], [[cheat talk]] and [[monument]]]]<br />
[[Image:No Loafing!.PNG|thumb|1987 Styles!]]<br />
The '''computer room''' is where [[Strong Bad]] answers most of his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. It contains his current computer &mdash; the [[Lappy 486]] &mdash; a [[Floppy Disk Container]] resting on a table, and the [[Stooly|stool]] he sits on. The desk (or at least the computer) appears to be some way from the wall as shown in most emails by the computer's shadow. Under the table is a power outlet for his computer, as well as an [[extra plug]] for additional electronics. Strong Bad once tried plugging a pair of [['Lectric Boots]] into this outlet, which consequently caused a power outage. On the far right side of the room, there is a window with an old sycamore tree outside. When the branches rub the window, they seem to say "[[Douglas]]." In [[pop-up]], the ceiling of the computer room is shown to have recessed lighting, a fact which was previously stated in [[different town]]. Another custom feature of this room is the [[The Cheat's Lightswitch|special light switch]] set just the right height for [[The Cheat]]. Strangely, the area beneath the light switches has no carpet. [[Mike Chapman]] makes fun of this oversight in the DVD commentary for [[techno]], saying, "The Strong house has problems."<br />
<br />
Also in the email [[no loafing]], a picture of the computer room from [[1987]] is shown. The room sported an orange carpet and tacky wallpaper featuring pears and flowers. The wallpaper has since been stripped down and the walls painted blue, but the carpet remains, though it is now faded and unkempt (and, as shown in the pictures above and to the right, some of it has apparently been removed from the room).<br />
<br />
The [[No Loafing Sign]] hangs on the wall above the computer table, but it occasionally moves to different places on the wall. In most emails, it is shown to be to the right of the computer, while in [[no loafing]], it was shown to be to the far left.<br />
<br />
After the [[Tandy 400]]'s explosion in [[gimmicks]], Strong Bad passes 3 windows and 4 doors in midair, before crashing into [[Strong Sad's Room|Strong Sad's room]]. However, in [[little animal]], [[Strong Mad]] chases Strong bad in a circle, and only one door and one window are seen.<br />
<br />
In the email [[montage]], the montage about The Cheat and the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] shows the two in a room with the same walls and carpet as the computer room. In this shot, a window and door are visible and the wagon is sitting in a green recliner with a footrest.<br />
<br />
[[Strong Sad]] turned this room into his [[Wikipedia:Tai Chi Chuan|Tai Chi]] space while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|Strong Bad was in Jail]].<br />
<br />
Its [[Old-Timey]] counterpart is [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]'s [[Telegraph Room]].<br />
<br />
It is a bit confusing, though, where the door is. In some [[Strong Bad Email]]s, like [[email thunder]], the door is on the right. But in some other emails, and in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], the door is on the left.<br />

== Rewriting ==<br />
<br />
This could use a little rewriting. Too conversational, and needs a mention that The Cheat's Flash animations are TBC's way of making fun of their earlier style. Should I take a crack at it? [[User:spblat|spblat]] 11:40, 26 Oct 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
== The Cheat Smokes ==<br />
Why was this taken off?<br />
-Your Fuzzy God<br />
<br />
:I suppose because it's not very interesting, and it only occurs in one toon and one game. If we listed every single odd thing that The Cheat happened to do twice on his character page, it would be a mess. Noting it on the pages for those toons is enough. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]<small>&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small>[[<nowiki></nowiki>]]<br />
<br />
I think his smoking is notable for his character page. 3 mentions now -[[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 00:40, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
In [[montage|montage]] you actually see him smoke. 4 mentions.<br />
-Doreauxgard507<br />
<br />
In "Where's the Cheat" you see that he was cheating on his New Year's resolution. A pack of Cigarettes were in there.But ya can't blame him, ya know...Cause he's the Cheat.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 20:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I believe there's also a page about this. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 20:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Screenshot ==<br />
What's wrong with the screenshot on ths page? The link seems valid, but the picture's not showing up... --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]<br />
<br />
this isn't the kind of thing you put on the talk. --- [[User:The Coachsmith]]<br />
:Actually, it's ''exactly'' the kind of thing you put on talk, i.e. talk that directly relates to the upkeep of the wiki. Note, however, that Upsilon wrote that 4 days short of a full year ago (and hasn't been here since July). &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I'd imagine Upsilon was having a cache problem, but there's no way to know for sure at this point. All I know is that was right around the time we were uploading all our hotlinked images and thumbnailing them. [[User:spblat]], who was working on the uploading project, made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Cheat&diff=prev&oldid=12610 the edit] to change the hotlinked image to a thumbnail shortly before [[User:Upsilon]] added his note here, so I'm guessing that was to blame.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:07, 23 October 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== BIG DESTROY THING ==<br />
Right... I think I'm going to do a big, fat re-write of this thing. There are alot of bugs, mistakes, and general badness. Sorry, whoever wrote this, but the article is pretty shoddy. I mean, there's some good stuff, but most of it is not really... You know. Properly put together.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the article wasn't ''originally'' written that well, so people tweaked it to make it better, but there's only so much you can tweak before the thing just needs a re-write.<br />
<br />
== Hidden video cameras? Pah. ==<br />
<br />
"The Cheat has hooked his computer to a hidden video camera in the Computer Room, as seen in huttah!"<br />
<br />
That's not how I interpreted that scene. Judging by Strong Bad's reaction, The Cheat was simply watching the email online just like the rest of us (of course, being a fictional character in the same world as Strong Bad he gets to watch it in real time).<br />
<br />
:I completely agree and I've changed the article to reflect this. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:06, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
Another thing to note: The Cheat's handle.. 'cheatachu'<br />
*If The Cheat was watching the email, he would have seen himself on screen, watching himself watch an email of himself watching the email. Get it? {{User:Salty/sig}} 02:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
You're thinking waaaaaaaaay to hard. How can SB type with boxing gloves? How can Homestar pick things up? It's the same thing.<br />
<br />
And how can Marzipan pick things up?--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 20:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Look. In the hr universe, strong bad has his own webcam show, and the cheat was watching it. [[User:Lopolo42|Lopolo42]]<br />
<br />
== Drum Solo ==<br />
<br />
Based on [[Cool Things]] should we add that The Cheat plays the drums?<br />
<br />
:Check out the current first sentence of the third paragraph. It's already there.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:48, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Birthyear 1983? ==<br />
<br />
In the email [[autobiography]] and on one of the patches, it has the same The Cheat logo stating "since 1983." That could easily mean that The Cheat was born somewheres in 1983. But since it's not concrete evidence or anything I'd suggest putting something like "The Cheat's birthday was presumably in 1983," or something to that effect.

== The Cheat Speak? ==<br />
<br />
Are we trying to interpret cheat speak or not? I've seen some articles that to and some that don't. I think a decision has been made, but I don't remember it. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]<br />

== Firefox Rendering Error ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Cheat Firefox Error.jpg|thumb|Whoops!]]<br />
Anyone know what might be causing this? Firefox renders the '''<nowiki>[edit]</nowiki>''' link for The Cheat's Biography section on top of the text for that section, whereas the edit link renders correctly for all other sections. This link also renders correctly in IE. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 03:48, 28 November 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I can't tell you in technical terms what's ''causing'' it, but it appears to have to do with the way text breaks around pictures. I can also tell you that this is just one example of a phenomenon that happens on scores of pages (of course now that I try I can't come up with any). &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== What is the Cheat? ==<br />
<br />
Is The Cheat a pet owned by The Brothers Strong or is he some kind of yellow midget (sorry, lil person) who hangs around them? Or is this so wildly inconsistent that it'll never be agreed upon? Just trying to clarify this. BEGIN DISCUSSION! -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 04:17, 12 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
:I think most of his relations to Strong Bad are explained in [[lackey]]. Yes, sure he hangs around with Strong Bad, but when the time comes he does his biddings. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)<br />
::''{Edit conflict}'' I think that's answered pretty well by taking [[lackey]], [[privileges]], and [[bedtime story]] into simultaneous consideration. Go ahead. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
:Just the spots. I've always thought of him more of a flat headed Pikachu. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Yeah, I know. He's yellow with spots. His body couldn't be less like a cheetah. But still, I think there might have been some connection in the early days. But unless it's been mentioned before by a toon or a Chap, there's nothing for the article. So, I guess I'll go watch [[replacement]] yet again.<br />
<br />

== Pouch type Cheat ==<br />
<br />
Anyone besides me think The Cheat has a pouch? It would be cool! I mean, like if SB was out of Cold Ones and the cheat stole them from Bubs, he could put them in his pouch, and tell bubs he hasn't seen anything, while it's hiding in his pouch! - Alex H.<br />
<br />
:No, I doubt The <s>Chort</s> Cheat has a pouch. Is there any toon that might support this fact, though? (It would be pretty awesome) {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
My freind said that a toon that was taken from the sight might have proved it. Since the only removed toon with The <s>Chekt</s> <s>Ceat</s> Cheat in it was [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], we can see if that's true. -Alex H.<br />
<br />
Hmm. At the end of [[Halloween Fairstival]], The Cheat stuffs $20 into some non-apparent place. While quite possably not a pouch, it's ''some'' source of [[Hammerspace]] on his body. -Alex H.<br />

Oops. That was just the leaves on his costume. Never mind! -Alex H.<br />

According to Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Pikachu|Pikachu]] article, "The character [[The Cheat (Homestar Runner)|The Cheat]] from [[Homestar Runner]] is also sometimes considered to be a Pikachu parody, although he was created before ''Pokémon'' was imported to America. [[The Brothers Chaps]] modified his design to give him more resemblance to a Pikachu after the Pokémon anime made its debut". It is followed by a small "citation needed" notice. I travelled long and hard until I arrived at the HRWiki, knowing that they would provide the necessary citation. After searching both the [[The Cheat]] and [[The Cheat Evolution]] articles, I could find nothing of the sort. Is there anything here that can prove this fact? --[[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 17:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I don't think there's any proof to be find that they modified him simply to look more like a Pokémon. However, we do know that he's been compared to Pikachu a lot on the website. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Cheat talking or humming? ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|the only time I've seen it open]]<br />
Has anyone ever actualy seen The Cheat talk with his mouth open? I think that he hums regularly and talks with his mouth open for powered by the cheat. Any comments on this subject. - {{User:Flamer8965/sig}} 05:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)<br />

What's with the cheat's eyes? They seem to be on different sides of his facebone.<br />
:They're not unlike [[Homestar Runner#Homestar's Eyes|Homestar's]]. Or Mickey Mouse's ears. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
<br />
== Flash Effect? ==<br />
<br />
The Cheat is always using an effect that makes something turn into something else. (like the skull in Summer Short Shorts) How do you do this?<br />
:It's shape tweening. It makes a cartoon look shoddy if it's done the way The Cheat does it. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Yep, they're [http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00000629.html#wp71610 shape tweens]. They can look ok if you [http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00000630.html#71644 take the time to tweak them], but in their default state between two random shapes, they tend to end up looking like the garbled mess you see in the PBtC cartoons. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Cheatware ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote> He also has some knowledge of coding, as he wrote a program for Strong Bad to help him get past the office's firewalls.</blockquote><br />
<br />
I removed this sentence from the Biography, because I don't think there is any evidence that the Cheat actually authored the program. Rather, that he simply redistributed it on a floppy disk to Strongbad. The program appears to be the work of [[Edgar]]. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 01:52, 11 April 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
=="Cheat, The...Or The, Cheat?"==<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if "The" is actually a surname, while "Cheat" may be his given name. The surname followed by given name structure is common in many parts of the world, an example being the basketball player Yao Ming. "Yao" is the family name, and that is why it appears on the back of his jersey! The facts are that "The Cheat" is always captalized, no matter where it appears in a written sentence. Also, very rarely is he referred to as anything other than "The Cheat", even when the determiner "The" would be gramatically incorrect. He refers to himself as "The Cheat" in his character video, and most importantly, when Marzipan returns from her date with The Cheat in DATE NIGHT, Homestar asks her if her name is "The Marzipan" now.<br />
<br />
Is there some way we can confirm this? [[User:Bowie60|Bowie60]] 16:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Interesting, but I think it's just that we always refer to him with the integral article (or whatever those things are called). Now, we know all about the first name surname dealie (see [[The Brothers Strong]]), but I doubt that "The" is a surname. Just a part of his name in general. Like, in Spanish, it's considered correct to write "El Señor Martinez" (The Mr. Martinez) when referring to someone in the thirs person, formally. And his name is, in reality, just Señor Martinez. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 17:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Yeah, the fact that "The Cheat" may just be his name crossed my mind, but it was more Homestar's comment about "The Marzipan" that made me start wondering. Of course, Homestar is an idiot, but why else would he choose that particular name to call her? [[User:Bowie60|Bowie60]] 05:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
It's possible that Homestar is just stupid, but "The" may be an honorific like Doc. or Mr. or Prof. However, in Flashback he is called "A" The Cheat, suggesting that all The Cheat are called this, so it may be a family surname, but who's family would have the same first name for everybody? Also, he's ALMOST never reffered to as just Cheat, so my theory of "the" being an honorific might be correct, since people are sometimes called by their last names. Kinda long but that's what I think-[[User:Runstar Homer|Runstar Homer]] 21:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Talking ==<br />
<br />
I've heard The Cheat talk on two occasions, in conversation. The first time was in [[cheat talk]] where he said "Doug." The scond was in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], where he asked SB "How was that?" Shouldn't this be noted?--[[User:Randomnerd10|Randomnerd10]] 17:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
:No. As a rule, we don't put words into The Cheat's mouth. See the [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Speaking about talking, i've noticed in the [[The_Cheat|article]] that he speaks English in the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons (for the background characters). I really believe it is the work of his [[Tangerine Dreams|Tangerine Dreams (iTandy)]] that does the english speaking, a possible The Cheat to English converter with sound changer. any theories? {{user:Thewi2kbug/sig}} 00:46, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
:::That's pure speculation. Since we have nothing to actually back this up, we wouldn't put it on the wiki.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />

:::::::Yes, yes, there's no dout that you said this in reaction to the article. However, "a possible The Cheat to English converter with sound changer" is wild speculation and is nowhere hinted at in any toon.

:''The following discussion was moved here from [[Talk:Cute The Cheat Forms]] after it was decided to merge the content of that article with this one.''<br />
<blockquote><br />
=== I'm fairly sure this is should be deleted ===<br />
<br />
This article is not at all important, doesn't count as a running joke, is incredibly short, and is generally badly made. I say we '''delete''' it.--[[User:CoachG|CoachG]] 12:54, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:While the quality could be improved with time (it was only just made a few minutes ago), I agree that it doesn't merit its own article yet (a running gag needs [[HRWiki:Inclusion guidelines|3 appearances]]). On the other hand, I do think it's a legitimate connection, since in both cases Strong Bad uses his The Cheat to try and impress the ladies. So, I think it's worth mentioning somewhere, but not on its own page. I say, '''merge with [[The Cheat]]'''. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
::Total agree. I thought this was already mentioned on The Cheat's page, but apparently it's not. '''Merge w/ [[The Cheat|Teh C.]]''' {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />

hay, wait! remember that email wher the cheat was getting tons of emails, and strong bad was like, "c'mon, he isn't even that cute..." could that be added?<br />
<br />
:You're thinking of [[huttah!]]. Nevertheless, that ladies are attracted to The Cheat is more of a characteristic of him than a running gag, in my opinion. I still think that this info would fit better on his main article. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
{sigh} you win...Merge.<br />
<br />
:But The Cheat is always cute! Just add a relevant sentence or two on "The Cheat" (IE '''Merge''') and delete it. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:32, 17 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
=== i think not ===<br />
<br />
i...don't think this is talked about in "The Cheat"<br />
<br />
:Not yet &mdash; it should be, though! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)<br />
OK, I made this article! could someone please go double check? oh, and my user name is ''haldo''<br />
<br />
pictures could be added?<br />

<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Email? ==<br />
I was just wondering: Strong bad has an email, Strond Sad had an email, the KoT shouldn't have an email (and it's good he doesn't), but shouldnt The Cheat have an email? Ya know?<br />
:Let's just see what the future [[Strong bad Email|sbemails]] bring us. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 18:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Sat on by Pom Pom==<br />
Why would The Cheat be worried about "[[The Cheat#Character Video Transcript|being sat on by ... Pom Pom]]"? Pom Pom only weighs [[Pom Pom#Driver's license|4 lbs]]. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:55, 19 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
-Maybe The Cheat is afraid to get absorbed. Pom Pom does that to things.<br />
<br />
==The Cheat Reference?==<br />
Yaknow, it may be unrelated, but i cant help noticing that The Cheat's coloration is remarkably similar to [http://www.theparkingspot.com/ | The Parking Spot]. The Parking Spot is one of those airport car-storage lots, and does operate at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson Airport. (I've driven past it enough times and nearly been run over by more than one of their shuttle buses to remember :P) -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 17:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)<br />
:It even has it's own integral article! -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 17:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Language ==<br />
<br />
In the page, it says that The Cheat says two different things for "Douglas" in cheat talk, but couldn't he have said something like: "douglas." "why do you want me to say Douglas?" etc. Just a thought. {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 14:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== mr. cheatiyama ==<br />
<br />
i think that mr. cheatiyama should be added to the list of the cheat's alter egos, since he did appear breifly in yes, wrestling, and some of the other egos have just about the same info on them.<br />
<br />
== The Cheat has a sister? ==<br />
<br />
According to The On-Point King's brochure, The Cheat has a sister. Should this be mentioned in his article?<br />
:They could also be lying. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Biography ==<br />
[[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|[[Physiology of The Cheat|Yet another biological mystery]]]] <br />
<br />
'''The Cheat''', whose name includes the [[integral article]], is what could be called [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Strong Bad and The Cheat's relationship|sidekick]] and [[Strong Mad]]'s [[Strong Mad and The Cheat's relationship|best friend]]. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is at knee-height (1' 2" and 18lb., or 35.56 cm and 8.17 kg) and covered with yellow fur with prominent black spots down his back. In [[secret recipes]] and [[retirement]], it is shown that The Cheat's skin is a pinkish flesh color under his fur. His arms resemble flippers (but he's still able to type and use a computer), and he doesn't have any legs to speak of. Instead, The Cheat crawls along ground, similar to a [[Wikipedia:pseudopod|pseudopod]]. He has round black eyes and a pointed [[Physiology of The Cheat#Facebone|"facebone"]]. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his character video. In [[lunch special]], Strong Bad says The Cheat reminds him of a [[duck]].<br />
<br />
The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad at [[The Office]], possibly tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant [[egg]] (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg-laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fish sticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not. No one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or Cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't. This is strange, because if the events in [[flashback]] are true, then The Cheat would have been "born" on the day he came out of the egg. According to the client list in the [[On Point Kings]] recruitment brochure seen in [[more armies]], The Cheat has a sister. His favorite color may be blue, as suspected from [[Drive Thru]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:TheCheatAsTheCheat.png|thumb|Now pretend this is The Cheat...]]<br />
<br />
The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad also pays The Cheat soft tacos for being his lawyer, as evidenced in e-mail [[rough copy]]. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. In [[animal]], The Cheat was overshadowed by [[Sterrance]] when [[Strong Bad]] declared Sterrance to be "way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat [he] used to have." In [[secret recipes]], Strong Bad said he had a recipe for cooking "The Chekt". It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred of him at times (as in [[secret recipes]] and [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious [[List of crimes committed by Strong Bad|illegitimacy]], it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], and [[caper]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]<br />
<br />
The Cheat is an amateur [[Flash]] animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos first on an older orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], and later on a [[Monosodium Dreams|newer iMac computer]] in [[redesign]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. The Cheat often uses his animations as an outlet for his pent-up feelings of abuse and unappreciation, rewarding his fictional self with [[trophies]], fame, and friendship. He's also a master of many [[Characters' Instruments|instruments]]; he plays the piano, the flute, [[The Cheat's keyboard|the keyboard]],{{ref|1}} the drums,{{ref|2}} the guitar,{{ref|3}} and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]].{{ref|4}} He also is a [[DJ Teh C.'s Equipment|music producer]], doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." Also, as evidenced by scenes in [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[No Hands On Deck!]], he can knit. According to Strong Bad, he is [[rough copy|"the best lawyer soft tacos can buy"]], but since his idea of suing is throwing water bombs at the defendant, this statement might not be sound. However, his aim with water bombs is so good, he can hit Strong Sad from three football fields away.<br />
<br />
[[Image:FleaPrisonRiot.png|thumb|[[retirement|Flea Prison Riot!]]]]<br />
<br />
The Cheat's less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''. He also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's [[Physiology of The Cheat|anatomy]] provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (i.e. [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks. The Cheat once had a battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[suudsu]], and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used. The Cheat also attracts fleas, as seen in [[retirement]]. As explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet. He is a very good swimmer, however, as seen in [[keep cool]], when he easily skims across the surface of the water in a fashion similar to a speedboat.<br />
<br />
[[Image:TheCheat 3D variation.PNG|thumb|3D The Cheat!]]<br />
Despite these issues, ladies are often attracted to The Cheat. Strong Bad advises his fans to use a cute pet like The Cheat to attract women in both [[lady...ing]] and [[lady fan]]. At times, however, The Cheat's charms are so irresistible that ladies prefer him to Strong Bad. This is seen most clearly in [[huttah!]], in which several girls send emails indicating that they are more interested in The Cheat than Strong Bad. The Cheat's capture of so many girls' affections contrasts sharply with Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|lack of success with women]]. The Cheat [[Marzipan and The Cheat's Relationship|seems to have a particular crush]] on [[Marzipan]], as seen in [[do over]], in which The Cheat (in Homestar-esque makeup and covered in lip-shaped lipstick marks) is seen with Marzipan. He also went out on a date with Marzipan in [[Date Nite]], but it did not work out in the end, as Marzipan found out that he had been declawed and then dumped him.<br />

==The Cheat's Language==<br />
<br />
The Cheat speaks entirely in a language of [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|high-pitched squeaks and growls]], which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. It's hinted that he knows some English, as he frequently says things that sound like fitting sentences not only in tone, but in how the words sound (for instance, in [[coloring]], he sounded out "okay"). At other times, however, it seems to be just gibberish.<br />
<br />
According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. He normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well for a The Cheat.<br />
<br />
The Cheat also provides the voice for the character [[Firebert]] in the ''[[Cheat Commandos]] Adventures'' [[TV show]], in which he speaks entirely in his native language.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, during ''[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'' The Cheat plays the role of the villain [[Craig]], when Craig is revealed The Cheat actually appears to give a short monologue in English using his [[Powered by The Cheat]] Homestar voice.<br />

Hm, what should we do about character gallery sub-pages? I'd just as soon not have them, but I know that will make someone mad. Do we add a gallery section to the page? I sure wish we could do thumbnails. I need to talk with our host about installing ImageMagick. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 11:31, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)<br />
<br />
:Hmm. I was just thinking the same thing about how that screenshot would look better in a box up on the right. What would we have to do to get ImageMagick? For the galleries... I don't know. Really they were just made by one person who just did a Google image search for them. They are just hotlinked images ripping off someone else's bandwidth.

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)<br />
<br />
<br />
No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...<br />
<br />
do some research<br />
<br />
<br />
== I agree ==<br />
<br />
These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners<br />
<br />
What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.<br />
<br />
<br />
THAT'S NOT TRUE!<br />
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!<br />

== Boxing gloves? ==<br />
<br />
Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning<br />
<br />
<br />
How are we even sure that those even ''are'' boxing gloves? It said in one of the interviews that Strong Bad's face is a mask, and he doesn't hae anything underneath it. Maybe his boxing gloves ARE his hands. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Age ==<br />
<br />
I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.<br />
<br />
*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.<br />
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.<br />
<br />
With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.<br />
<br />
:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:<br />
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.<br />
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}<br />
<br />
Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)<br />

That's contradicts, not contadicts, and Strong Sad is much better than Strong Bad.<br />

Whats yer problem,Mipsy?!?Strong Bad is TONS better than Strong Sad. Strong Sad is stupid and a bone figure wearin' a potato sack in "Ballad of the Sneak" and in "Highschool"'s Easter egg.Click on Roman Times on the last page of the e-mail to see him in a bag of Olives.<br />

== Elvis Costello ==<br />
<br />
A few days ago I was watching tv and came across a song that featured a man in boxing gloves typing on a typewriter this left me wondering if that song (I don' know the name of the song I just know it's from Elvis Costello) was the inspiration for strong bad.--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 08:07, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing.

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==<br />
<br />
I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career. Do you think this deserves it's own page, an amendment to the current character bio, or just the throwaway mention it currently has? Just asking. <br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags. Hm. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Stricken from the record. In face I won't even call it Hy****sy any more. We'll call it Josh. Ok, so would you favor just expanding the character bio more, or having it's own page that we could link stuff to? I would personally favor a new page simply because it's a slightly more complex issue than the standard bio. If someone wants to dig deep enough into the subject, they'll find a nice page waiting for them. But that's just me.<br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::Mm&mdash;I'm not sure. I can see merits of both. (Of having a page because it would be easy to link to and because this does have the marks of a recurring phenomenon, if not an intentional gag; and of keeping it on this page just because we seem to be making new pages every day chronicling every instance of specific conceptual entities, and maybe we need to ease up on them.) I'm... hesitant. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::Understandable. I must confess that I am guilty of creating a probably useless page, though it was fun to do, and far more efficient than just tacking it on to the page in question (specifically [[The Paper]]. See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about. However, I think this particular phenomenon merits closer study and categorization, just because I keep finding loose refernces to Strong Bad's spelling errors, and I'd like to have them corralled in one place. <br/>-{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 06:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)<br />

I don't see how that is highly subjective. Maybe a little subjective. It's pretty obvious in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], and Main Page 23. He doesn't move his head from side to side at all from the front, but he does it a lot from the back.<BR><br />

Shouldn't it be noted that Strong Bad always has window shines on his boxing gloves, even when he is not standing next to a window.

== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.<br />
<br />
He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling&mdash;although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics. <br />
<br />
Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]<br />
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]]. <br />
<br />
Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].<br />
<br />
Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a [[List of crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal mastermind]], a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].<br />
<br />
He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's!]]<br />
<br />
Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".<br />
<br />
He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.<br />
<br />
Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because she's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."<br />
<br />
As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.<br />
<br />
Strong Bad also made his own band in [[Baddest Of The Bands]] which was known as [[Bands in Baddest Of The Bands|D&Ouml;I]]. In it, Strong Bad does the vocals, [[The King Of Town]] plays guitar, and [[Homsar]] is on the theremin. Strong Bad didn't really pick who was in this band, as after he signed everyone else up, these two were the only characters left to be in the band.<br />

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.<br />

*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"<br />

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

'''Strong Badman's Apartment''' is where [[Strong Badman]] and Li'l Stiny live. [[Strong Bad]] was surprised to find Strong Badman living here instead of in a "secret underground lair" full of "secret underground gadgets". The apartment is in a rent-controlled "bulding", and water is included. It also has "expanded basic cable" stolen from Strong Badman's neighbor. It is unknown if other utilities are included. [[Strong Badman Characters#Grossman|Grossman]] may also live here, as he is introduced as Strong Badman's possible roommate in [[narrator]]. It also appeared in an unfinished comic in the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]].<br />

I ''do'' hope this isn't a final SBEmail, or the end of H*R, because if it was or if there is before I get out of High School (which is about 5 more years), I'll cry my eyes out.

I think that they couldn't end SBemails because most of the store items are based on SBemails. They enad it and they'll lose much, much money.--[[User:Shadow6000|s6k]] 01:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
For the record... I don't think they'd end the whole site. If this is "the end", it's probably just the last SBEMail. After which, they'd start something new. But that said, it's all just speculation on my part. The ending song "Save the last e-mail for Strong Bad" kinda hinted at that, though... But, yeah, as DumDe said, it also doesn't really fit that the Paper came down at the end. Why e-mail Strong Bad if there're gonna be no more SBEMail toons? Like I said, I'm probably jumping the gun. There's no need for panic right now. -{{User:YK/sig}} 02:24, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::::::Like I said, don't take my initial post too seriously. It's just a feeling I happened to have after seeing the ending song, and I wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way. I'm hardly "panicking". I'd be upset if that was it for the SBEMails, but I trust that even if it was, TBC would make something just as good to replace it. I doubt they'd just ditch the site altogether. How many people, after all, have the dream life they do? To be able to make good money doing something they've always loved, and from the comfort of their own homes, no less. To give it all up and get "outside" jobs would be impractical, especially when you consider that Missy is pregnant, and she'd need Mike more than ever. After all, being your own boss and able to make your own hours would be a great thing when raising kids. But... now I'm just rambling. (And no, I wasn't mocking TBC at all; Quite the contrary, actually. I really do respect them. I think they've got a great thing going for themselves, and I too would love to be able to make a living -- and make people as happy as they do -- simply doing something I love that comes completely natural to me.) Point is, even if this *is*, in fact, the last SBEMail, it's doubtful it's the end of good ol' H*R. -{{User:YK/sig}} 08:19, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

Remember [[50 emails]], [[comic]], [[flashback]], [[rock opera]] and [[portrait]]? It seems everytime they turn out a great landmark email like this one (or even take a long break), people think that they'll never make an email quite like that again. As long as people still send in emails, they'll continue to churn out toons and sbemails until the site becomes unprofitable. All we have to do now is just calm down, wait till next week and not jump out the window crying our heads off. They'll be back. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:23, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

Sorry if that post of mine (back in the main page archive) scared you, YK. Even if it's the last Sbemail, I know TBC can come up with something awesome to replace it. Here's to hoping for a 151 and beyond. -[[Walking Armless]]<br />
<br />
:Oh, it's not like that. I was just wondering if you could've possibly been correct on that notion, given the content of this SBEMail. But, hum. I suppose my post here was a pretty premature jump to conclusions, yeah. Sorry everyone. -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:53, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
This is not the last SBEmail. I admit I also got pretty worried, but thinking rationally, TBC would tell us. They wouldn't leave us hanging. - frldgf v2.13<br />

:That's pretty clearly a coincidence. VOIP! is a good onomotapoeia for the sound effect that accompanies Strong Bad's appearance/disappearance, while VoIP is an acronym for an emerging technology that lets people talk over the Internet.

:Mayonnaise? No, given the context and its appearance, I think it is clearly meant to represent a tub of weight-gain protein powder such as you would find at GNC or a high-priced gym. I'm intrigued by the "Total Load" label, though. As far as I can tell, this is not an actual brand name&mdash;I'd be surprised if it were.

== [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals]] ==<br />
<br />
Anybody find it strange they would use TWO of the Made-Up Strong Bad Animals (Sterrence and Da Huuuuuudge), yet have no mention of the Monstrosity, Deep Sea Fangly Fish, The Red Steckled Elbermung, etc. I guess they really liked Da Huuuuuudge or something. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Well, how can you not like Da Huuuuuudge? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::The El Pardack and Red Steckled Elbermung were just pictures, so I don't think they had much of a chance. As for the others... I guess we didn't need too many variations from a single email.

:::My guess is that they rejected the Fangly Fish because it's a [[Powered by The Cheat]] thing (and it's a fish, which would need to live underwater). As for El Pardack and the Elbermung: Yep, both pictures. Never got anywhere. And the Monstrosity was Strong Bad himself with alterations, rather than a different incarnation of Strong Bad, so it probably didn't count. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Senor Cardgage Fishing Easter Egg-- Connection? ==<br />
<br />
The odd "echo" sound effect heard in the fishing easter egg is also used in the first episode of the mockumentary TV series "Fishing with John", by actor/musician John Lurie.<br />
<br />
I'm assuming that this is a stock sound effect, and simply a coincidence. To my knowledge, the similarities end with the sound itself and "fishing". But as a fan of both homestarrunner.com and Fishing with John, it made me laugh.<br />
<br />
Fishing with John seems like the kind of indie/cult television show that ''could'' be referenced by HSR, though.<br />
<br />
Anyone else think of this? - C<br />
<br />
: Well, the same sound effect was used in the "Fishing with Coach Z" segment in [[lures & jigs]], I'd say it was probably intentional (check out the commentary transcript for that email). {{User:Saturn/sig}}<br />
<br />
Haha! That's so awesome. I haven't viewed lures & jigs since before I got my hands on Fishing with John. - C<br />
<br />
::The scene also seems similar to the fisherman from [[Peasant's Quest]]. - C<br />
<br />
:::This particular sound is coming from a Casio SK-1, using the built-in "human voice" instrument. [http://www.synthmania.com/Keyboards/Casio/SK-1/Sounds/Factory%20sound%20examples/human%20voice.mp3] The SK-1 was often used in early toons, and in most Halloween toons, for the organ or ghostly sounds. The Cheat was seen playing on a modified SK-1 in a few toons, and the actual keyboard appeared in a puppet movie.<br />
<br />
==No Little Strong Bad==<br />
<br />
Not only is their no PBTC Strong Bad, but there isn't any Little Strong Bad, from [[flashback]] and [[highschool]]<br />
:[[Atari Strong Bad]] is missing as well, as are any self portraits of him in Teen Girl Squad. Four of the made up animals are vacant also. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
::And plus, there's no [[highschool|Strongbadiophage]]. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]<br />
<br />
<br />
===List of missing Variations===<br />
*PBTC - Does not exist in an alternate reality, Strong Bad has watched the toons of himself before.<br />
*[[Little Strong Bad]] and Baby Strong Bad - It was an alternate reality machine, not a time machine.<br />
*[[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals]] - Just Sterrence would have made more sense, but I guess they liked Da Huuuudge enough to represent him too.<br />
*[[Atari Strong Bad]] - All video games represented by Vector.<br />
*Self Portraits, Drawings, Etc - They aren't supposed to be alive or anything, just a portrait.<br />
*Strongbadiophage - Yeah, he could have been there. But also represented by Teenage Strong Bad.<br />
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] - Presumably, the comic variations are represented by Strong Badman. Also, as with PBTC, it does not exist in an alternate reality; Strong Bad made them himself. What's more, they technically are drawings.<br />
*The [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] version - Again, it's an alternate reality machine, not a time machine. It's one of the earliest forms of the Strong Bad as we know him today.<br />
<br />
Seems like there's plausible reasons for missing variations by my viewpoint. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

I understand all of those reasons except PBTC. Seriously, why does it have to be made be Strong Bad? It's an alternate version! He even features on the Everybody Everybody poster. It seemed like you just wanted to find some sort of reason and "It was made by The Cheat" was the only thing you could come up with.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 20:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

:::Maybe they wanted to keep the repetition to a minimum?

Tbird's reason for PbTC still stands &ndash; every alternate variation in the email was made by Strong Bad in one of the emails, PbTC was not.

Steve and the Wheelchair have appeared in Teen Girl Squad (though I don't know if Homestar Runner Pay Plus would be considered canon) means that they too were just "created" by Strong Bad, and not based solely on his imagination, per se.

<br />
What about the Teen Girl Squad variations? None of those ones are here either. I guess as with the PBTC versions, they don't exist in an alternate reality; Strong Bad made them himself, so they basically count as drawings. However, here's what I think should have happen if they did include a TGS scene: Strong Bad sees his TGS form making out with the hot version of The Ugly One, as seen in Issue 10. He then proceeds to make out with her himself, only to disappear suddenly. Strong Bad himself makes the disappearing noise. I think that's how it would happen if Strong Bad mets his TGS form. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
It's not like Strong Bad would actually visit every single alternate universe, you know. He probably only ended up in a few, and um... the rest were offscreen durring the song and had no solos. yah.<br />
<br />
===Characters that shouldn't have been there===<br />
<br />
*Old-Timey Strong Bad - Exists in the past, not an alternate realty. Explained in the 100th email, with him mailing half a mustache to SB.<br />
*Senor Cardgage - Seen around FCUSA often. Unless that was supposed to be creepy comb over Strong Bad.<br />

What? Are you talking about? I mean...what are you talking about? OTSB should definitely be there.

<br />
Umm, when talking about alternate universes in Homestar Runner, you just can't leave out Old-Timey. It's just...wrong. Even if he "shouldn't be there because he was in the past and not a new dimension", Old-Timey Strong Bad just HAD to be in an email talking about alternate universes. It would make less sense for him NOT to be used. Get what I'm saying?--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 19:24, 7 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: I don't think there's any rhyme or reason behind the Strong Bads they chose. I think they just picked the variations they found most interesting or liked most. BTW, while I can kinda see an argument against Cardgage and Old-Timey, I don't see why Keyboard Strong Bad would be an exception any more than, say, Stinkoman or Sterrance, people that FCUSA's Strong Bad also blatently invented. --[Jay, not logged in] 19:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

It is a fairly common expression these days, but I'm reasonably sure it started with Mushmouth even if most people don't realize it.

==Sequicentennial==<br />
<br />
The word "sequicentennial" means 150 years. The "ennial" is related to the word "annual". Because sequicenten-email is a play on words, it works in this case. However, if he were to have called it his sequcentennial email, it would be incorrect, as he would have had to have started in 1856 and answered one annually in order to celebrate his sequicentennial. Perhaps "1936" could also have been "1856".<br />

I think that grammatically he should have just made it "sesquicentemail," which would actually make "150th email". I think that saying "sesquicentenn-email" makes it "150-year email," which would be wrong. I can't believe no one saw this talk post error in two years.

Usually, to get the effect of the Coach Z Easter egg, the actors will record the lines, reverse them, imitate the reversal and reverse it back &ndash; so the phonemes are in the correct order, but the sounds fade in at the start instead of fading out at the end.

The one problem with using the &auml; is that a search for "doppelganger" will not turn up this version.

:An excellent point. Er, two points. Unless the admins can tell us there's some option to make the Search account for this, the fix is to settle for ''doppelganger'' with no umlauts, which is an acceptable English spelling in American Heritage and Webster's, and to do the same with other words when possible. Of course, there are some accented characters that should be kept, such as the distinction between [[Se&ntilde;or]] Havin' A Little Trouble and [[Senor Cardgage]], or entries on the [[Foreign Words]] page.

This is gonna sound super nerdy, but I think it's clear that when Strong Bad disparages the "geniuses behind She-Hulk," he's not talking about comic legends Stan Lee or John Buscema, her original creators. The more hit-or-miss John Byrne was the, uh, genius behind "The Sensational She-Hulk," the series that brought in all of the trademark fourth wall breaks and panel-walks. (For instance, sometimes, She-Hulk would face the viewpoint and shout, "Byrne!")

I want to add a note that Old-Timey Strong Bad is wincing when Stinkoman is singing because he is singing off-key, but I'm not sure how to word it. Can anyone help? {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:17, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Doesn't look like a wince too much to me. And he's not off-key, nor all that out of tune. In fact, I reverted a comment in the transcript itself saying Stinkoman was singing out of tune. He's really no farther off pitch than Strong Bad ever is.<br />
:Perhaps what people are thinking is this - the notes Stinkoman sings are:<br />
<pre><br />
C D E F D A<br />
I hope it's from a girl<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
:And that last A is over a dominanttype harmony. Now, that's actually pretty common in this anthem-style rock, but I can see how the listener would expect a nice clean G there. Stil, not out of tune in TBC standards by a long shot, and OTSB's little lean and turn becoming a wince is a stretch to me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:: It certainly made me wince. It's at least a quarter-step sharp. It's a lot more out of toon than Strong Bad usually is.<br />
:::Well, it's less obvious with Strong Bad because he has a very low voice, he kinda grumbles. Still, even if we objectively think it's out of tune (and certainly it's not "off-key", if it's a quarter tone) we still have to decide if it's relevant to the transcript. I say nah. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I assumed OTSB was wincing because Stinkoman was singing very loudly, and right in OTSB's ear (if you can call it that).[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 18:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Although I think he is a little bit out of tune, I don't think Old-timey winces because of that. He is singing pretty loud. - frldgf v2.13<br />

== What's the tune? ==<br />
<br />
I can ''almost'' place the tune that Casio VX-bad is playing in the final song, but not quite. Anyone want to clue me in? And if you know, is it worth a mention on the page?<br />
<br />
:It's already mentioned [[Keyboard Strong Bad|where it should be]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:27, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::It's exactly the start of the demo song from the Casio VL-tone.<br />
<br />
:::I had a Concertmate-350. Was clearly that demo tune. Don't know if it has an offical name.<br />
<br />
== Can somebody explain this... better? ==<br />
<br />
The entry: ''This email introduces a new 'ridiculously huge when it's closed' frame to [[Stinkoman]]'s mouth animation.'' isn't very clear. It seems to me it's talking about the actual flash frames. But really, that's all I can tell. It's not something I distinctly remember from the email, nor do I get a clear picture of what it's talking about without having to go back and play the email again. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:28, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:I think it's talking about how he has a new smile added to his mouth movements. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::It's an improvement on the way the sentiment was ''first'' worded, "This is the first time we've seen Stinkoman smile."

== Fun Fact Cleanup ==<br />
<br />
I removed a bunch of fun facts for various reasons:<br />
<br />
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].<br />
<br />
So what? It's not like that's really at all relevant.<br />
<br />
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].<br />
<br />
...among other places. And it's a standard cartoony sound effect.<br />
<br />
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].<br />
<br />
Likely coincidence. Not particularly noteworthy.<br />
<br />
*"Number 1 jam" is a phrase previously used in [[time capsule]].<br />
<br />
And it's been used more times since then.<br />
<br />
*Old-Timey Strong Bad previously used the word "Doppelg&auml;nger" to refer to Strong Bad in [[flashback]].<br />
<br />
Are we going to mention every time someone repeats something from the past?<br />
<br />
*Stinkoman's lyric "I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl!" is probably a reference to Strong Bad's desire for female emailers, as mentioned in the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email rap]] of [[dragon]].<br />
<br />
No kidding.<br />
<br />
Just a heads up. If anyone disagrees, just go ahead and re-add the stuff I removed. That's the beauty of a wiki, after all. =P -{{User:YK/sig}} 22:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Speaking of Fun Facts, should it be meantioned somewhere (if not) That Homestar was trying to make a health/muscle-gain smoothie? Some people may not get that. I mean, if they don't, they'll be wondering why Homestar wants a green smoothie with all this weird atuff, and blah blah blah, yada yada yada, I think I should go get some pants. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

::If you ask me, of the fun facts I removed, that's among the most obvious and mundane. Of course that's what it's referring to, but is it *really* necessary to note the obvious, that Strong Bad much prefers e-mails from females? -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

::::::Also of note: [[brianrietta]] and [[sisters]]. And, of course, [[current status]], [[marzipan]], [[dreamail]]... And those're just off the top of my head. Different context, but all display Strong Bad's desire for female companionship. So, yes, it's a reference, but to a character's personality trait, not one specific e-mail. It's natural for his character that he'd prefer to get e-mails from women. It's almost like making a comment stating "Strong Bad called Strong Sad "dumpus" because he doesn't like him." -{{User:YK/sig}} 21:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

== They Might Be Giants reference? ==<br />
<br />
Ok, maybe I have too much [[They Might Be Giants]] on the brain, but I found a pretty much TMBG refrence. I know you guys said the thing about the backwards speaking refrence, and how it's a refrence to something else. I forget the song, but they "fake" sing backwards... it's pretty weird, and it's what I thought of when Homestar was talking like that. You can search it on TMBW, it'll say... Sorry, I'm probably annoying you guys. =) --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 01:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

:::No fact except Twin Peaks, you mean, to which it is most definitely a reference. For the record, TMBG used backwards lyrics twice: [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Hide_Away_Folk_Family Hide Away Folk Family], which was faked and sounded like nonsense whichever way you played it, and [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Subliminal Subliminal], which just played the entire last chorus backwards at the end of the song. As for the guy who does sing backwards, I don't know his name, but I remember he first appeared on America's Funniest Home Videos something like ten years ago.

== this cartoon has little to no continuity ==<br />
<br />
HR.com cartoons make no pretense at continuity. A character can appear in Strong Bad's imagination, then in the past, then in the "real world". Making great efforts to explain what devices would be needed to make sense of the (lack of) continuities (time machines versus alternate reality machines) is stupid. I suppose you monkeys would also like to have a debate about what kind of magnetic levitation machines Marzipan and Homestar use to move things around, and the special sensors Strong Bad has in his boxing gloves to be able to type, and whether or Homsar is a zombie since he was killed in his first appearance, and [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_132.html how many angels can dance on the point of a needle]. come on.

:Perhaps not, but the fact that both this and [[2 emails]] mention putting a Game Boy in a blender and using it to travel through time, or into alternate realities... it is obviously a ''reference'', even if it's not an attempt at continuity, and we would be foolish not to mention it as a H*R encyclopaedia. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:28, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

== transcript ==<br />
<br />
Somebody read through this transcript. You'll find it's really awkward to get through because of the {comments} everywhere. Honestly, nobody cares whether or not Old-Timey Strong Bad turned left or right. It doesn't need to be pixel-perfect. I'd prefer it read well. [[User:86.136.82.105|86.136.82.105]] 12:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:It reads fine. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Well, here's a question. There's a portion of the transcript that waffles between<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee!<br />
<br />
''{He jumps off the stool and towards the swirl.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump!<br />
<br />
I understood the rule to be that if it's only a few words, leave the action inline, but if it's a lot, split it. This seems to be a split situation, but is it? And what really IS the rule?? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:15, 7 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I think this case should be a single line because Strong Bad says "Jump!" almost immediately after "Ohbee Kaybee!" His jumping off the stool happens at almost exactly the same time - just a little after, but close enough that we might even be able to get away with:<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! Jump!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl. Then something happens. You know the rest.}''<br />

::To quote the standards:<br />
<blockquote>If a character does something while speaking a line of dialogue, or if more description is needed for their manner of speaking or inflection (e.g. if they're singing or whispering) the action (if it is not too long to describe in a few words) can be enclosed in curly braces — { } — and made italic, like this: {goes to the refrigerator}. Note that the curly braces themselves are also italic. Short actions like these do not need to be proper sentences.</blockquote><br />
::So if you're going to stick actions within dialogue, it needs to be...<br />
* A few words long.<br />
* Not a complete sentence.<br />
* Relating to the speaking character.<br />

:::Although I've zealously hunted down situations that ''need'' bumping onto new lines, I also agree with anonny's point that we should avoid breaking up the flow as much ''as possible''.

I'm sorry, guys, but in the context Strong Bad used the word "tuff" in, that was a reference to ''The Outsiders.'' I don't care if 25 people voted against it. I'm gonna use the same logic that all you people who tried to use against me in Change of Pace...just because you don't want something to be a reference doesn't mean it is.

Besides, do a search for "[[Google:tuff|tuff]]" on Google, you'll find [http://www.tuffshed.com/ many] [http://www.tufffemme.com/ examples] [http://www.tuffstuff.net/ of] [http://www.tuffcountry.com/ the] [http://www.tuffboat.com/ word] being used to mean "tough" (btw these examples were all on the first page, and ''all in a row''). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

::::Firstly, I was thinking about the evidence. And regardless, it doesn't change my mind, Qermaq. Kool isn't used in the book, Phlip, but it's the context it was used in that I have my argument with. As far as I'm concerned, the reference was legitimate.

== Go vs. Grow? ==<br />
<br />
In the closing song, on Senor Cardgage's solo, does anyone else hear him say, "Let the little children '''grow'''" rather than "go?"<br />
<br />
:I did hear him say "grow" initially...but I've replayed that line over and over and now I'm sure he's saying "go". -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 19:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

== Flex it, flex it, shoulder stance... ==<br />
<br />
I noticed the blue panel on the bottom of the Strong Badman comics has a line that says "work it out!". Why does that feel like a reference to [[lady fan]]...or at least the part where Homestar is featured in the Buck Webb comic? -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 19:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Doesn't match any dialogue in [[lady fan]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:25, 9 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
::I don't think it has to match any dialogue to reference [[lady fan]]. The fact that [[lady fan]] had a section where Homestar was in a comic panel with a speech bubble regarding exercise is enough to be somewhat of a reference. I don't think it's enough for it to be mentioned on the article's main page, but I definitely believe that's where the unseen panel is derived from.

== Not the realest Strong Bad? ==<br />
<br />
Now, I might be reading too much into the e-mail, but everybody else does, so I'm-a gonna join the party! Anyways, since animated Strong Bad appeared with really true-to-life Strong Bad, are we to believe they're not the same entity? Or maybe Real Bad lives in an alternate universe where everything that ever happened to Flash Bad happened to him. But that's just me supposin' out loud. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 04:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Or maybe that Puppet Strong Bad is a different one than the one in, like, Biz Cas Fri. Who knows? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]<br />
::Of course, if they are both the "real" Strong Bad, it wouldn't be [[pizzaz|the first time we've seen two of him]]. Just thought I'd observe that. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Left Handed ==<br />
<br />
Based on the way Strong Sad hold his guitar, he might be left handed. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 21:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:Say hello to my [[Left Handedness|little friend]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
::The [[Left Handedness]] article doesn't discuss the evidence that Strong Sad is right-handed or ambidextrous, which I might take care of later. For now I'll take the opportunity to mention that for an ambidextrous person to choose a left-handed guitar would be pretty weird. They're something of an oddity; even many southpaws opt to learn right-handed technique just because it's more common. So for someone we know can write with his right hand to be seen at one time with a [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|right-handed guitar]], then suddenly with a left-handed guitar, is difficult to reconcile. But not impossible, of course. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::[[Strong Sad]]'s article mentions being ambidextrous, as he's also been seen writing with his left hand, and at other times with his right. I think that's as good a place as any for a mention, since it's more a defining trait of his character than something specific to this email. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:25, 12 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Old-timey audience ==<br />
<br />
I was just watching this e-mail again, and I noticed in the "vaudeville" scene that while the audience as a whole is a fairly shapeless mass, one distinctive shape rises up from it on the lower left. Is this shape anything significant? (Well, significant enough for a wiki that exists to notice minor details like this...) It looks a bit like [[Mr. Smallow]]'s hat.<br />

== Dry T-Shirt Contest ==<br />
<br />
Maybe when Strong Bad refers to the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest' as "the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of", one of the worse contests is the Dry T-Shirt Contest, as featured in [[bottom 10]]. Since this is in Strong Bad's Bottom Ten of everything, you could reason that it would be worse than the other proposed contests. [[User:Aether|Aether]] 11:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:See [[Contests]]. There's a lot of other bad contests out there that Strong Bad could have been referring to, but we kept it to the Ten-Step Footrace from [[flashback]] and the Strongest Man in the World Contest from the [[Original Book]], as those two contests also took place in the storybook universe and were likely the ones he was referring to. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 11:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

I thought that this SBEmail was kind of dumb. Has Homestar jumped the shark? -guest<br />
:Gee, if you didn't like this one, I don't know what to say. I might remind you that you got your money's worth. Many fans have already named this one of their favorites. But a call of "jumping the shark" requires some gimmick to have been employed which is beyond the pale, and I don't see evidence of that. Nothing in this one is any more or less odd than any other email, in my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

== The Pit of Despair! Don't even think-- ==<br />
<br />
Another of those little things where something in a cartoon reminds me of something, but it wouldn't be a good Fun Fact: On my most recent viewing, the way Homestar clears his throat and resumes talking normally after his backward-talking reminded me of the moment in ''The Princess Bride'' where the albino talks in a stereotypical scary hiss for the beginning of the line (in this subject heading), then clears his throat and continues in an anticlimactic normal voice. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)<br />
:In the audio commentary on the DVD for that movie, Rob Reiner said that it was inspired a commercial he saw once, where a "native american" was chanting in the steretypical low/raspy voice, then had a cough drop or something and did the same chant in a very bland/white voice. It's a versatile gag, I don't think it should be considered exclusive to TPB. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 05:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)<br />

== Deutschman?!? == <br />
<br />
Has no one yet discovered that upon freezing Strong Bad's fall in the Strong Badman section of the email, and viewing the third pannel he passes, one may discover a shocking vista of The Deutschman, exclaiming "Kinder Uberraschung!!" Thus, I find it very important that The Deutschman be included in the Cast section of this page. Or Deutschman gets his own page or something. <br />
<br />
This warrents noting, methinks. Also, the second pannel is a non-exciting "Tadaow!" in a spikey exclamation bubble. Le Boring. &mdash;[[User:AlexDitto|AlexDitto]] 22:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== e-mail or e-mair ==<br />
<br />
I listened to the song several times, and it seems that Old-Timey Strong Bad said e-mair (ending with r).<br />
<br />
What do you think: e-mail or e-mair?<br />

<br />
"This email is 5 minutes & 53 seconds long, and, although this may or may not have been noticed, the Lappy 486's batteries should have ran out after the first five minutes."<br />
<br />
There's one flaw in that fact: Look in the background while Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad, or pretty much any time it's zoomed out. The Lappy is Plugged in, and would therefore not be running off the batteries. Therefore, the battery referrence is moot. --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 05:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Puppet Soup ==<br />
<br />
When I saw the scene of Strong Bad mirroring the motions of his Puppet Stuff counterpart, I immediately was reminded of the classic mirror scene from the Marx Brothers' movie Duck Soup. In said scene, Chico and Harpo noisily shatter a pane of mirrored glass during an espionage mission, and must stand in the empty space and silently mimic Groucho's motions when he comes to investigate. Am I alone in thinking that might be a reference? - 23:23, 29 March 2007<br />
:Two similar characters moving in unison doesn't necessarily make for a reference to anything, even though they're "mirror images" of each other. In the scene you're talking about (as well as a similar happening between Harpo and Lucielle Ball on a classic 1955 episode of I Love Lucy), specifically involved creating an illusion of a mirror where there was none, and at least one character being (temporarily) fooled into thinking that a mirror was there. I really don't think that the puppet segment bears any significant similarity to the Duck Soup scene. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 05:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== 2nd or 3rd contest ==<br />
<br />
When Strong Bad mentioned that quote could he have been refering to "The Strongest Man in the World Contest" and "A Jumping Jack Contest"? -guest<br />
:He could have, but I recall that addition being reverted in the past since the connection isn't very strong. Strong Bad may have heard of even more stupid contests. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Eva Cassidy reference? ==<br />
<br />
Upon watching back the intro for this email, when Strong Bad sings a sentimental song to Strong Sad playing the acoustic guitar, I'm almost sure that the pair were dealing with it in the style of the late Eva Cassidy. The "flipping rainbows" line tends to refer to her work covering "Over the Rainbow", and the general rhythmic pattern of the jingle (especially in the second half) made me think of the rhythms of the melody for her interpretation of "Fields of Gold".<br />
<br />
I don't know if this is me or not, but I thought it was worth bringing up. [[User:Rexy|Rexy]] 20:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Coach Z's Pants ==<br />
<br />
in the easter egg with the eyeball pear, [[Coach Z]] says that he's not going to tell [[Homestar]] what he did in his [[pants]]. Is this a refernce to the fact that he doesn't wear pants?--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]][[Image:bowler derby.PNG|20px]] 22:22, 27 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Coach Z wears pants - he shoved Strong Bad as a $100 bill into his waistbnd. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)<br />
::If you're talking about the email [[shapeshifter]], I think that's only gonna happen once and never again. I could be wrong though.

*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas from [[Sbemail 150?!?]]:<br />
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to a close-up of the pear with its eyes googling, then to another shot of the pear from behind Coach Z with his arm raised higher. Then cut to a close-up of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the original shot. Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''<br />
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.<br />
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{distressed}'' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants!<br />
<br />
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:<br />
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.<br />
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.<br />

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen and echoing slightly}'' Aw, man!<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Aging in dogs|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed too high. Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians and from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsaparilla]] (spelled incorrectly as "sarsparilla" in the flashback scene) is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. It is more commonly pronounced "sass-parilla" than "sar-sparilla" or "sar-sa-parilla". It is also commonly misspelled "sasparilla". <br />
*A freemason is a member of a fraternal men's organization such as the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]] or the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]]. Other organizations permitting women and/or minors as members (including [[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]]) fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]], etc.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]]. Drinks containing electrolytes, such as popular sports drinks, are often used to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].<br />
*A [[Wikipedia:Supergroup (music)|Supergroup]] is a musical group comprising artists who were previously members of earlier, well-known groups.<br />
*A [[Wikipedia:Doppelg&auml;nger|Doppelg&auml;nger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "[[Wikipedia:Photoshopping|Photoshopped]]" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively to say that something is rather obviously edited.<br />
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'. This is also a reference to the anime art style, where noses are less pronounced than most American cartoons.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*This email was the longest email when released, almost a full minute longer than [[flashback]] (previously the longest). However, it has since been surpassed by [[retirement]].<br />
*When Strong Bad jumps down several panels in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel containing an explosion (with the word "TADAOW!"), and another panel with [[Strong Badman Characters#Deutschman|Deutschman]] (from [[haircut]]) holding a chain of sausages. Deutschman is saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled &Uuml;berraschung).<br />
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".<br />
*This is the first time Stinkoman has been seen smiling without laughing.<br />
*This is the first time the Da Huuuuuudge's voice is heard.<br />
*This marks the second time in which characters from at least two different universes come together in one universe. The first time was in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], in which The Homestar Runner shows up on [[Planet K]].<br />
*When the portal appears, along the side of it, there is some pixel disruption, where the individual pixels can be seen.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]] [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Ears|or ears]], despite the fact that those body parts were mentioned in this email.<br />
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].<br />
*This is a rare occasion of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad]].<br />
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the [[Strong Sad's Guitar|guitar]] [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.<br />
*When Strong Bad types "Well, Ms. Dozer" he types Ms. (pronounced 'miz', used by both married and single women) but pronounces it 'miss', which is the form of address for unmarried women.<br />
*If every dollar was a "dog year", then according to the [[Wikipedia:Dog years|popular formula]], the money would still only sum up to ninety-eight dollars.<br />
**Conversely, if Strong Bad were correct, each "dollar in dog years" would be worth over $70,000.<br />
*Frappé is spelled as "Frappe" when Strong Bad talks to The Cheat. It is lacking the acute accent.<br />
*During the Vector Strong Bad segment, the cartoon's border changes to red.<br />
*The console in the blender is an original Game Boy<br />
*When the mug of root beer appears, the hole is under the hammock; before, it was beside the hammock. <br />
*Homestar pronounces the word "fruit" without his usual speech impediment.<br />
*Not all Strong Bad versions were included, such as his [[Powered by The Cheat]] version or his [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters|Teen Girl Squad]] version.<br />
<!-- Many Strong Bad variations were left out of this email. DO NOT LIST THEM HERE. --><br />
*During the recording session at the end, Strong Badman's words appear in a speech bubble, but Vector Strong Bad's words do not appear in text as they always otherwise do.<br />
*In the same scene, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.<br />
*In the recording studio, the characters use wireless microphones. While wireless microphones are handy in live performance (to prevent signal loss on a long cable run, as well as to avoid tangling of cables), they are actually rarely used in studio work because cabled microphones deliver truer fidelity.<br />
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelg&auml;nger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen.<br />
*As Coach Z moves his head during his line in the Black Lodge Easter egg scene, the way the coffee dripping from the bottom of his head is animated makes it look as though the coffee breaks the rules of gravity; it seems to be dripping at an angle.<br />
*In the Easter Egg with Senor Cardgage, when Strong Bad disappears, his voice can still be heard even though he is probably far away from where Senor Cardgage is.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
[[Image:Altuniv1318-1319.png|thumb|From blue to green.]]<br />
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad's reflection is out of sync with his movements.<br />
*After cutting to the wide shot showing The Cheat with the blender, the Lappy's screen includes the text "Isn't that right, The Cheat?", even though Strong Bad didn't actually type it.<br />
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the alternate universe portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping. It briefly reappears after Strong Bad leaves, but for the remainder of the email, the stool is missing.<br />
*During the comic scene, the panel below the one after "Because, mere mortal..." has a blue background at first. When it moves to the next panel ("Is rent controlled!"), the background changes to green.<br />
*Several times during the email, Strong Bad's pants change color from black to dark navy (although the pant legs remain the same color), such as the first scene with Vector Strong Bad and the recording session at the end.<br />
[[Image:Alternateuniversegoof.png|thumb|Disappearing start line.]]<br />
*In the "Dig to China with your ears contest" part, the starting line disappears when the camera cuts to the giant mug of root beer.<br />
<!-- Old-Timey Strong Bad's scratch line appearing outside his body in the flashback scene is not a goof. This is a defining trait of Old-Timey characters appearing in non-Old-Timey universes. See "20X6 vs. 1936" for another example. --><br />
*In the "Save The Last Email" song, Vector Strong Bad is behind Strong Badman, yet his white and green lines appear above Strong Badman when talking/singing.<br />
*Stinkoman does not have any shine on his chest. This also happened in [[Happy Trogday]], prior to this toon.<br />
*At the end, Strong Bad is missing a layer of black from his pants, making them purple.<br />
<br />
===Fixed Goofs===<br />
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*Strong Bad's intro song refers to flipping [[the bird]].<br />
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]] entry, although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string classical guitar.<br />
[[Image:HSRTimeMachine.PNG|thumb|Homestar's Time machine]]<br />
*The alternate dimension machine is a [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|Game Boy in a Blender]]. In [[2 emails]], Homestar claims to have made a time machine by sticking a Game Boy in a [[blender]] while the email is fast-forwarding.<br />
*This is another example of [[mashing]].<br />
*The "In a bulding" <!-- sic --> line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).<br />
*The woman on Strong Badman's television is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].<br />
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells the word "[[my dog|dog]]" ("dawg") the same way.<br />
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of." The worst contests that originated in children's storybooks are likely to be the "Strongest Man in the World Contest" from the [[Original Book]], and the "Ten Step Footrace" from [[flashback]].<br />
<!--Dry T-Shirt contests, dance contests, jumping jack contests are not mentioned because the reference makes more sense if confined to storybook-originating contests.--><br />
*The fence used for the puppet Strong Badia set is the same one used in [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]].<br />
*This is another appearance of the [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.<br />
*Strong Bad previously mentioned "real fruit smoothies" in [[mascot]], saying that he had promised to buy some for the team if they won the game.<br />
*Homestar Runner's "real fruit smoothie" is another example of a [[concoction]].<br />
*Stinkoman's line in the song "I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to the e-mail song in [[dragon]] ("Every week I hope that it's from a female!").<br />
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:<br />
**Strong Badman, his well-drawn abs and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].<br />
**Deutschman originated in [[haircut]].<br />
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].<br />
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].<br />
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].<br />
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]] and played the same song then as in this email. <!-- This tune and "Grumblecakes" happen to share the same first few notes. --><br />
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].<br />
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "strip&egrave;d pants" are from [[highschool]].<br />
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].<br />
*In addition, some of the music accompanying the scenes Strong Bad visits are also reused from other parts of the website. They include:<br />
**The music from [[action figure]]; later used in [[suntan]] and [[army]] (during the Strong Badman scene).<br />
**Old-Timey Strong Bad's theme music from [[Parsnips A-Plenty]]; later used in [[50 emails]] (during the Old-Timey scene).<br />
**[[The Homestar Runner]]'s dance music (also during the Old-Timey scene).<br />
**The synthesized drum tune from [[Main Page 21]] (during the [[Vector Field]] scene).<br />
**The music from [[flashback]] (during the [[Original Book]] scene).<br />
**Keyboard Strong Bad's demo music from [[crazy cartoon]].<br />
**The music during Coach Z's dream scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]]; later used in [[lures & jigs]] (during the fishing Easter egg scene with Senor Cardgage).<br />
**The music during Strong Sad's storyboard scenes from [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (during the Coach Z Easter egg).<br />
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].<br />
**The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', ("150th email"), was also coined by Strong Sad in Sbemail 150?!?.<br />
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].<br />
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].<br />
*In the fishing trip scene, [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad smiles.]]<br />
<br />

However, the name cacodemon is better known as the flying, red, one-eyed enemy from the ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' series of computer games. The plot for these games involved demons escaping hell via portals.<br />
*The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" was frequently said by the character Mushmouth on the animated ''[[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]'', as well as being used by [[Bill Cosby]] himself in his famous "Dentists" routine.<br />
*The [[font]] in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]'' comics.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of ''[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. She-Hulk comics were once noted for their [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth-wall breaks]], similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel. These not-always-appreciated gags were introduced by writer [[Wikipedia:John Byrne|John Byrne]], who may be the "genius" Strong Bad ridicules.<br />
**However, in the commentary to this email, the Brothers Chaps claim they were not aware of this when writing the email.<br />
*The phrase "maxed and relaxed" may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.<br />
*The surreal Coach Z Easter egg is an homage to a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series, ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]''. The background for the scene featured red drapes, and the starring character, Dale Cooper, spills coffee on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee. The unusual speech used by Homestar, meanwhile, was the hallmark of the scene; the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here). It seems as though Matt Chapman faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards. ''Twin Peaks'' was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]], whom Strong Sad cited as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Additionally, the phrase "I'm not at liberty to discuss [...]" is a direct lift from the lines of Major Garland Brigs, a character on Twin Peaks, who is often unable to talk about what he does for a living.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.<br />
*The [[sound effect]] in the fishing Easter Egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from ''[[Wikipedia:Fishing with John|Fishing With John]]''.<br />
*Strong Bad jumping from panel to panel resembles the game [[Wikipedia: Comix Zone|Comix Zone]].<br />
<!--The Bob the Builder reference was declined. Please do not add it.--><br />
<!--VOIP is a common sound effect, and is not a reference to internet video phones or anything else.--><br />
<br />
== DVD Version ==<br />
*[[Alternate Universe Video|Video of Matt singing]] the song from the email is included as a separate Easter egg.<br />
*When Strong Bad meets his puppet double, the scene is shown is closeup. The quality is lower than usual, since most DVD releases of Puppet Stuff have the quality improved.<br />
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch the DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br />

<br />
'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Aren't you glad to see-a me?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Do you go by Old-Timey Strong Bad or are you just Strong Bad?<br />
<br />
'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I'll go by you with a spine-toothed comb!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Uhh... I forgot&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' And I'm out!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Oh! Uh, who was that, Mike?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I don't know. I guess he didn't think he could make it though the whole email?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I don't know. He said he was refusing to comment on it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I didn't remember that Strong Sad played, uh, backup on the email song.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a sweet&mdash; it's one of the few&mdash; one of the few tender moments between those brothers. When he says "No prob Bob," it makes me want to cry.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So, it was&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Like those times when we were kids and you would be nice and let me hang out with you and John Radle.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' They were few and far between. It was usually just so we could beat you up or pour something on you.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Spray something in your eye.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Uh, Gameboy in a blender, Mike, so that's a reference to&mdash; What email is that? The one where Strong Bad fast&mdash; The one where he fast forwards. 2 emails?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' 2 emails. <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Look at that!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Whoa!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Look at that portal!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Whoa! What a portal! ''{pause}'' Definitely. Portals&mdash; Anybody that's developing portals right now, in the military or in science needs to stop. 'Cause video&mdash; if video games have taught us anything, it's that a bunch of evil demons from Hell are gonna come out of it, and, kill us all. ''{pause}'' Oh! In&mdash; In Principal Belving's office!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So, this email was kind of, you know we hadta, do something, special for 150.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, definitely. Bring all the Strong Bad&mdash; the various Strong Bads together.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The many faces of Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' The many facets, even.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This is, uh... we had written a Strong Badman years ago, three or four years ago, that was sort of based on this premise.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, he was just gonna get an apartment, and feel like his apartment was gonna help him take over the world, and he'd just have a landlord that he would&mdash; He hits him with ping&mdash; a ping-pong<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' A ping-pong ball, yeah. Is that in here?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' No.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' No.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' It's not.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I can't remember. He throws a ping-pong ball&mdash; <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' At his landlord.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Landlord, yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Uh, it was just on cable. Whoa. And on Animal Planet. Probably.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So, apparently She-Hulk was well known for breaking the fourth wall.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And having good writing. ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, too. Which we didn't know.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, we didn't know. I just assumed She-Hulk&mdash; I've never read an issue of She-Hulk. One time she was in this Fantastic Four versus X-Men that I got. That's about all the exposure I have.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think I read about her in the Marvel&mdash; Didn't they have those Marvel universe, just kind of encyclopedias?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah. ''{pause}'' Good-time parlor tricks. So, back then, people were apparently so easily amused that you could do nothing. You could make nothing appear, and people would&mdash; people would ooh and ahh at you. ''{pause}'' Look, so these guy are buddies, Mike! My doge! <br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That's a reference to a Biz Caz Fri.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Oh, Stinkoman. And to the right!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Your nose.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Uh... Oh, look out, Stinkoman. ''{pause}'' Uh... There he goes, rubbin' his head on the ground. He's wearing his Dangerask shades. <br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Dangerask shades. <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Dangeresque. <br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's like, sort of like danger.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' What?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Dangeresque. It's means sort of like danger.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, I was saying Dangerask. That's why I corrected myself. Oh, look, there's Casio head Strong Bad. Oh, look, now, he's in the real world, and in a real Strong Badia.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That's in the next room.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' It is.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' It's where we play video games.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Mmm hmm. ''{laughs}'' That's all that Strong Bad talks about, is stripèd pants. ''{referring to the vitamin bottle behind Homestar}'' Total Load! Do you think our brother still has some Total Load somewhere in his house. He used to get Ultra-Fuel.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hy-hydro Fuel and Ultra-Fuel?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah. ''{pause}'' What up, Cardgage?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Is Cardgage's hair backwards there?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Probably. I think his hair doesn't follow any&mdash; His comb-over switches sides. ''{pause}'' What game is in there? Weird Dreams, remember that game?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I do remember.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Sometimes, you were inside a giant cotton candy machine. ''{laughs}'' ''{pause}'' Nobody wants to record a hit&mdash; a #1 jam with him. ''{pause}'' Hey, we're using a pop screen on our microphone right now, Mike!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' And we're sitting in a room with ceiling tiles on the wall just like that!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' It's true. ''{laughs}'' Old-Timey Strong Bad did not like that high note Stinkoman tried to hit. Sterrence is not singing. ''{pause}'' This is a pretty good song.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I like that, uh, guitar going in the background.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{guitar noises}'' <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Da Huuuuuudge ''{pronounces 'the'}'' has a heavenly voice. Who woulda thought?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Senor Muybueno's not in there. <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Well, there's a few that it's missing, but this is the, you know&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Those are all the ones that have appeared more than once, probably.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. <br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Except Da Huuuuuudge has only appeared once before that.<br />
<br />
===Fun Facts===<br />
*Senor Muybueno is from the [[Strong Libs]] Easter Egg from [[lackey]] and the [[Kicking The Cheat]] Lite scene of [[pop-up]].<br />

<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All these...emails...I don't understand.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong bad:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Why is it that your superhero name does not end <br /><br />
in "man" just like Superman, Spiderman. etc, etc...<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Your friend<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Stiny</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad reads the name as "Stiny?!"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... ''{typing}'' I don't think you're in a very good position to be criticizing people's names, STINY!! I mean, what kind of a name is Stiny anyways? It sounds like some supervillain's little sidekick, that he's always ordering around you know. ''{stops typing}'' Like, "STINY! GET ME A DANISH!!" <br />
<br />
''{An image with Strong Bad drawn as Strong Badman accompanies this.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Or "STINY! WHO SPILLED COFFEE ALL OVER THE PLANS FOR MY DEATH RAY?!" <br />
<br />
''{Another image of Strong Badman accompanies this.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Stiny... ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' Naw, you know what? I'll change my name to Strong Badman if you agree to be my sidekick: Li'l Stiny. And you can wear a little mask and a little cape...<br />
<br />
''{The camera zooms back and we see The Cheat appear wearing a mask covering his eyes and a little cape.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey The Cheat... Er, just doing an email.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat sounds}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No! Of course you're still my sidekick!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{more The Cheat sounds, slightly annoyed}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that cape looks great on you. Look, I was speaking hypothetically.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{irritated The Cheat sounds}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh come on, don't give me that!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{loud, angry, The Cheat sounds}''<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat walks away angrily.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat! <br />
<br />
''{A "Strong Badman" comic book appears on the screen with a picture of Strong Badman drawn on it (see above). On the bottom of the page, there's a blurb that reads "CLICK '''HERE''' TO EMAIL STRONG BAD!!" Click on the text to email him.}''<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*A [[Wikipedia:Danish pastry|Danish pastry]] (or danish) is a sweet pastry which has become a specialty of Denmark and is popular throughout the industrialized world, although the form these pastries take is significantly different from country to country.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
[[Image:Strong badmans death ray.PNG|thumb|260px|Strong Badman's death ray plans]]<br />
*For the first time, [[The Paper]] doesn't come down at the end of this email. Instead, the "Click here to Email Strong Bad" is on the comic.<br />
*This is the first appearance of the [[No Loafing Sign]], although it looks different in this email.<br />
*Strong Badman's deathray plans have "asdasdkuahs gfjdgd df956 4564-45" written in the corner.<br />
*In the list of superhero names, [[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]] is misspelled as "Spiderman", which is a common mistake.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
<br />
*Strong Bad's [[Floppy Disk Container#blank 5.25 inch disks|floppies]] don't have a name.<br />
*Even though Strong Bad says that Strong Badman is a "supervillain," he gets his name on the comic. This is probably due to the fact that when Strong Bad Emails first started, Strong Bad was still considered the villain of the Homestar universe.<br />
*Strong Bad leaves off a comma before "you know."<br />
*In the Strong Badman frame that has him saying "STINY! Get me a Danish!!", his boots appear straight along with his tight pants (like Strong Bad wears his own boots); in the comic book cover though, the top parts of his boots appear folded down, like [[Wikipedia:Captain America|Captain America]]'s boots.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*When the camera zooms out to show The Cheat wearing the cape and mask, there are no contrast buttons on the Tandy 400.<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*[[Cheap as Free]] Comics has the same logo style as most early '90s [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel comics]], including a character in the top left corner, price and issue number, [[Wikipedia:Comics Code Authority|Comics Code Authority]] symbol, and a face (usually that of Spider-Man's) in the bottom left hand corner.<br />
*"All these...emails...I don't understand," is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Elton John|Elton John]] classic [[Wikipedia:Rocket Man (song)|"Rocket Man"]] (another "-man" name), [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxMTRmnc54Y as performed by] [[Wikipedia:William Shatner|William Shatner]] at the 1978 Science Fiction Awards (as mentioned in the DVD commentary). One line of the song is, "All this science I don't understand..."<br />
<br />
===Fast Forward=== <br />
*[[Strong Badman]] comics would be featured again in later emails.<br />
*The Cheat's question about his costume is used later in the Easter Egg in [[cheat talk]].<br />
<br />
== DVD Version ==<br />
*The contrast buttons goof is fixed.<br />
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br />

=== Commentary Transcript ===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{mumbling}'' I don't understand...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' That's a reference to Shatner performing "Rocket Man"—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That's true.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' —at the 1981 Science Fiction...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Science Fiction Awards, yes.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Video Awards or whatever. Um, so ''this'' one, it was great. We, um... I remember, we finished this, we worked on it some at my Uncle John's house in Winnemac, Indiana.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Some at Grandpa's.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And we finished it up.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Aunt Dean's old room.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' In Aunt Dean's old room, and there was nothing there. We could wax the floor that day. So it's this room with this old, that old, like, 2 inch thick wallpaper. And, uh, with some pink print.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Pink flowers, yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. And, just, we brought a TV tray and finished it on this laptop that kept crashing Flash 5. It took us forever to finish it. And, uh, did we, I wonder if you have that picture somewhere, 'cause I remember you took a picture—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think I do.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' —'cause we were going to make it look like, the uh, say this is our office. Just this giant, empty old—old lady's room with me and Mike. The laptop. How about those white circles The Cheat has for eyes?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Is that the first No Loafing sign?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Uh, maybe.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I dunno.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I don't know if Processing—was Processing around yet?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' 'Cause I think that's where it first appeared.<br />
<br />
=== Fun Facts ===<br />
*Matt's talk of processing is a reference to the [[Email Processing Room]] (where, incidentally, the No Loafing sign does ''not'' make an appearance, though there is a similar sign reading "GET BACK TO WORK!"). It also appeared after this email.<br />
*William Shatner actually performed "Rocketman" at the 1978 Sci-Fi awards, not 1981.<br />
