<br />
==Transcript==<br />
''(Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen behind a booth with a banner that reads "[[Trogdor|TROGDOR]]-Con" above them. Strong Bad taps his fists on the table in anticipation.)''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so here we are at TrogdorCon! Got booths set up and lookin' good! So, The Cheat&mdash;these cons... what exactly is gonna go on here?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Geeks and nerds?! That doesn't sound like anything I wanna be a part of!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies in skimpy sci-fi costumes? That sounds like ''everything'' I wanna be a part of! Are you sure they're in the same place as the geeks and nerds? That doesn't make any sense. Ladies in skimpy outfits should be hanging out with me... and to a lesser degree, football players and rappers. Not geeks, nerds, or any of their smelly brethren.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I'll see it when I believe it.<br />
<br />
''{Homestar Runner walks up. He has a paper star taped over his normal star and is wearing a red beanie with propeller similar to Old-Timey Homestar's over his usual cap.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh, Booth 101! My favorite booth! Hey, guess who I'm supposed to be!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... Homestar Runner?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, you got it! First try! Was it my star ''{he shows off his paper star}'' or propeller cap ''{he bends over and shows off his cap}'' that gave it away?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It was your unbelievably loose grasp on the world around you.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I guess I do have one of those. Hey, what kind of cool stuff do you guys have here? Got any pewter figurines, or maybe some magna?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, just hangin' out and seeing what walks by.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh oh, I can walk by! Here, watch! ''{Runs offscreen to the left, and instantly returns, walking slowly and staring at his feet. As he moves, his words are not in time with his steps.}'' Left, right, left, right, right, right, no&mdash;left, right, left, right. ''{exits}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So, by the way The Cheat, what are gamertags? Why do we have boxes of them behind us?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So we're not really selling gamertags?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What're we really gonna be selling? Some of those ''million sided dies''?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So, us hanging out selling gamertags is a front for us plain ol' hanging out.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, you're a genius! I don't pay you enough!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{glares at Strong Bad}'' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh right, I don't pay you at all. That's what I meant to say. ''{leans back and puts his feet up}'' Now let's kick back and see if we can't summon some skimpily-clad ladies to ye olde gamertag booth.<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat jumps onto the table and plays an alpine horn}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sits up again}'' Oh! Where'd you get that bad boy?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Booth 709, huh? I'll have to go check that out!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' They've got axes and swords!? Man, this con just keeps gettin' better all the time! ''{Strong Sad enters from left, wearing a pair of semi-transparent Trogdor-style wings, an armband, eyeliner, blood teardrops, a tribal-tattoo style design around his belly button, and with his toenails painted black}'' Oh, and we've hit a snag.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' What are you guys doing here?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hangin' out. Don't tell nobody, but secretly we're really just hangin' out.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' But didn't it cost money to get a booth?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I don't know where The Cheat got 500 bucks or where your missing 500 bucks is. All I know is that we're hanging out here at TrogdorCon '97! Or in your case, Trog-''dork-on'' '97.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' It's not called TrogdorCon and it's 2005!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It might be for you, but ''{pause}'' you're... a butt. ''{smiles}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' That's a good 'un, Strong Bad. Okay, I'm gonna go buy some ''{with [[Foreign Words|exaggerated inflection]] and movements}'' anime!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It's called Japanimation! ...Least it was last time I checked, which was 1987. ''{The Poopsmith walks by in shadow in his Sleestak costume.}'' I don't know about all this, The Cheat. Maybe it's time we filled up that horn of yours with pea soup and tried to shoot it all the way over to that Godzilla guy's booth.<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat holds up a can of pea soup and the horn. He and Strong Bad run off. The word "endeth" appears over the screen, and The Cheat's horn is heard in the distance.}''<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
* Moving the cursor over "New Short" on [[Main Page 22]] during the week of the update displayed The Cheat's horn off to the right side.<br />
* Clicking the 'tag?' on the "gamertag?" sign at the end will result in this:<br />
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{drenched in pea soup, breathing heavily, and speaking very angrily}'' Ohhh, somebody picked the wrong authorized Godzilla reseller to mess with today!<br />
<br />
* At the end, click on the period in "endeth." to see Strong Bad criticizing people's costumes.<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, loincloth, please to be putting on more clothes... Ugh... like five or six... more clothes... ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what's up, ironic costume? I suppose you think you're cooler than everyone here! Well guess what: ''You're also here.'' At the comic book convention. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I never thought I'd see the day where a tattoo was a bad thing, but you madam, have shown me the light. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Just for fun I think I'm gonna start throwing boxes of gamertags at dudes wearin' kilts. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD''': The fact that your costume is accurate down to the tiniest detail does not change the fact that that TV show ''sucked''. ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD''': Man if I see another person in a diaper&mdash; ''{cut}''<br />
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hello Rotunda! Your physique certainly merits you wearing that leather bikini and fishnet hose.<br />
<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] is the Japanese term for comic books, literally translated as "whimsical pictures." Outside of Japan itself, it specifically refers to comics of Japanese origin (and sometimes comic books drawn in the Japanese style). Homestar's "[[Foreign Words|magna]]" is a common misspelling and mispronunciation among English-speaking comic book fans.<br />
*Similarly, [[Wikipedia:Anime|anime]] is the Japanese term for animated cartoons, used outside of the country to specifically refer to cartoons of Japanese origin. "Japanimation" is an American term for anime that is now rarely used and considered outdated and even racist by some fans.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Booth 101 was the booth that [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt]] had at [[Store#DragonCon|DragonCon '05]].<br />
*Booth 709 at DragonCon was occupied by [http://www.edhellen.com/ Edhellen Armoury], and sold axes and swords.<br />
<!-- Yes, we do know that TrogdorCon is a parody of DragonCon. It's implied by the above fun facts, and does not need a fact of its own. --><br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*Though Strong Bad says he doesn't pay The Cheat, he has been shown paying him in [[lackey]], albeit with pencil shavings.<br />
*This was the longest short when it was released, and is similar in size to two toons released just before it. In fact, it is even longer than the toons [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], [[The Reddest Radish]], and [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]].<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*The Poopsmith's [[Pumpkin Carve-nival Costumes|Sleestak costume]] was first seen in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br />
*The King of Town is shown to hate [[Peas|peas]] in [[different town]].<br />
*Strong Bad mentions [[1987]] as being the last time he checked whether anime was the same as Japanimation.<br />
*Homestar's chant of "left, right, left, right, right, right, no&mdash;" is similar to the description of [[50K Racewalker]] on the [[Videlectrix]] games catalog page.<br />
*The sound used when Strong Bad moves the "Gamertags?" sign is the same [[Sound Effects|sound effect]] used for [[The Geddup Noise]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*"Gamertags" are accounts used by [[Wikipedia:Xbox Live|Xbox Live]] subscribers, as well as other online video and computer games.<br />
*"Million sided die" is in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] style of role-playing game, where the dice can have anywhere up to [[Wikipedia:Zocchihedron|100 sides]].<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]] is a fictitious giant reptile, made famous by his appearances in movies from the Japanese studio [[Wikipedia:Toho|Toho Corporation]].<br />
*Strong Bad's mention of booth "709" may be a reference to the character "7 of 9" on "Star Trek: Voyager".<br />

===Commentary Transcript===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{sings}'' We put this cartoon up, the time we did a con... ''{speaks}'' So yeah, we did, uh, DragonCon in Atlanta a couple months ago. A month ago.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' And umm, originally we were gonna make this to show at the con in our booth; we had a little booth that looked pretty much like the booth that The Cheat and Strong Bad are at.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. Umm, though we spent more of our time making a fake Strong Badia fence and painting a stop sign to look like Strong Badia.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' But anyway, so we didn't get it done in time to show at DragonCon but we did this— we had it written, and since that went through the weekend, this was our Monday update.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. Yeah, what do you think, guys?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Gamer— gamertag!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. That seems like something—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That's my buzzword. ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Umm... yeah, Strong Bad doesn't have a— any kind of gaming system that would— that has gamertags involved with it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' No. That, uh, Halloween cos— err, that costume that Homestar's wearing: last Halloween, uh, he dressed up—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' [[Homestar vs. Little Girl 2]].<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the puppet, uh, Homestar puppet had that costume on.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' He did.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' But none of those takes made it into the final cut.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. Not very funny.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' It was a good costume, though.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' She wasn't kicking him in those, so we didn't use them. Umm, so there were a lot of pewter figurines at DragonCon.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I was surprised. It was the first con I'd ever been to, and I was surprised at how much like what I thought it was—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' —gonna be it was.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Lots of dice booths...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, there was a booth all of dice, and...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' We were in Booth 101, too, weren't we? That was our actual booth number? And, uh, later on, uh, we— Strong Bad makes come comment about dudes wearing kilts. And our man Phil from, uh...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Ah, yes!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' A booth around the way was wearing a kilt. He was dressed in a nice— a nice Scots garb, all—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Very nice man, very nice man.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Is it OK that I mentioned Phil?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah! We didn't men— we don't know his last name.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Rizzuto.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I'm sure there's a lot of Phils.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Probably Rizzuto.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That were wearing kilts there.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's probably very true, Mike. Truer than you could know. Umm, so here's another convoluted cockamamie scheme like the [[Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag]] scheme, where the gamertags— they're selling gamertags as a front for just wasting time—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Hanging out—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' —yet they paid... I really like your Norse horn there, Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Did I make that?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I think you did&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I think I... The old Google image searss— search and trace.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Oh yeah, and that booth— that booth number he just said was, uh, was a real booth at DragonCon that was selling axes and swords.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, remember the axes and swords? Oh, lots of people dressed— lots of people with wings!<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Wings were...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Not dressed as anything in particular just...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, just wings. <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I'm winged, and then kind of have some Marilyn Manson makeup on...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I'm winged! <br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Winga, winga...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I like AFI, and I have wings.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's right, Mike. '97.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' '97's something...<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Is that the same, Awexome Cross '97, right?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I think it's [[Awexome Cross|Awexome Cross '98]].<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Is it? We don't know our website very well, do we?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I think it's '98, 'cause I think I actually looked at that 'cause I thought it was '97. too.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' But TrogdorCon '97 sounds good.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I love it when— I love it when Strong Bad sah— smiles, and I love it when Strong Sad pronounces— overly pronounces things.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Originally we were gonna have lots of characters walking all around, making it look full, but I stopped after I made the Poopsmith walk by in his old Halloween costume.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' No new graphics!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I got lazy.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Ka-chent!<br />
<br />

<div>subject: prom</div><br />
Dear Strong Bad, <br /><br />
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.<br /><br />
If so, what was it like?<br /><br />
Matt M. WA<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...<br />
<br />
''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a closeup of the alarm clock. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..<br />
<br />
''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to group shot.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!<br />
<br />
''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom. <br />
<br />
'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?<br />
<br />
'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably<!-- This word is currently spelled correctly, stop wronging it up! --> Coach Z.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.<br />
<br />
''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperon ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE! <br />
<br />
''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''<br />
<br />
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!<br />
<br />
''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?<br />
<br />
''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?<br />
<br />
''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?<br />
<br />

<br />
==Fun Facts==<br />
<br />
{{checkstuffpage}}<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
<br />
*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced). Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
<br />
*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon".<br />
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!" This may have been because people thought that the [[alternate universe|previous email]] was meant to be the last one.<br />
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".<br />
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]].<br />
*This is the first appearance of the Strong Sadstronaut, previously seen only in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
<br />
*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."<br />
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them.<br />
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.<br />
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]]. The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan.<br />
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school. There is also the possibilty that, for some inexplicable reason, senior proms are a regular high-school-independent event attended by whoever chooses to attend them.<br />
* "The King of Town's Popular Cartoon Show" is another case of the King of Town trying to appear cool and popular<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
<br />
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.<br />
*As Homestar dances, his farthermost (left) foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
<br />
*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].<br />
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Se&ntilde;or, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.<br />
*Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].<br />
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.<br />
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].<br />
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].<br />
*This email makes references to [[Robots|robots]], [[Homestar's Pants]], and [[Pants|pants]] in general.<br />
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].<br />
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".<br />
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
<br />
*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.<br />
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.<br />
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "Goo Goo Ga Joob".<br />
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.<br />
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.<br />
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]]. Robinson's character, Rico, often ended his sentences in this way.<br />
*''[[All the King's Men!]]'' is most likely a reference to the fairy tale [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]]. It is also the name of a novel loosely based on the life of [[Wikipedia:Huey Long|Huey Long]].<br />

<div>subject: Candy</div><br />
Dear Strongbad<br /><br />
I was wondering, if you are so famous, popular, and a<br /><br />
chick-magnet how come you dont have any candy product...<br /><br />
or food thing... to sell..............<br /><br />
From somone thats not homestarrunnner<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{While reading, Strong Bad says "Dear Strongbad I was wondering," as one clause, pronounces "dont" with a short O sound (rhyming with "font"), inserts exaggerated pauses at each ellipsis (even humming to himself for a few seconds while he waits on the longest one right before the end), and says "somone" as a name.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, of course you're not, Somone. Or else you would've fallen prey to Edgar's Baby's Daddy: my Homestar junkmail filter. ''{clears screen}'' So what<!-- He does not say "if." --> I don't have a candy product. I betcha I will by the end of this email. I'm famous, popular, and chick-magnet enough to have a candy product. Why is it athletes are the only ones with their own candy bars? Shouldn't they have their own brand of, like, jock-strap or divorce lawyer, instead? ''{clears screen}'' For my candy bar, we're gonna need a name that's 50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!!! How 'bou... SBLOUNSKCHED!<br />
<br />
''{A brown "SBLOUNSKCHED! bar" smashes onscreen, and then disappears.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz that's how you're gonna feel when you eat one... like you got SBLOUNSKCHED! ''{has trouble pronouncing the end, and types it slowly}'' Now we gotta be sure and represent as many of the different states&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{A candy-based periodic table covers the screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;of candy matter as possible. We’ll start with a gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{While Strong Bad says the second sentence, a pile of marshmallows appears from the left and puffs into a shiny, white vapor.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;encased in a globule of semi-solid licorice colloid.<br />
<br />
''{As this is said, some black goo comes from behind and encases the vapor in a bubbly black sphere. It shrinks while it and many other identical blobs fill the lower part of the screen as the next sentence starts.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' A bunch of those will be floating in a channel of liquid nougat&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{A wave of white nougat fills the lower half of the screen, and the licorice spheres begin floating in the new stream.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;which I recently found out is the candy equivalent of veal. And we roll all that up inside a solid crispety cookety log&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{At the end of the last sentence, a cookie dough log with chocolate chips wraps around the stream and puts it back to the center. It has a small stump sticking out with a leaf.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;and cover it with rich, creamy... pepperoni.<br />
<br />
''{Seven slices of pepperoni drop along the top of the candy log.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Then sprinkle that with, not just crispy puffed rice, but whole tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]].<br />
<br />
''{As this is spoken, twelve tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice cereal drop onto the treat.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally, smother that with the ol' BBC: Boring Brown Chocolate.<br />
<br />
''{Liquid chocolate is poured onto the candy and completely covers it.}''<br />
<br />
'''BRITISH-ACCENTED VOICE:''' I say... <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a confection worthy of the SBLOUNSKCHED! name.<br />
<br />
''{"SBLOUNSKCHED!" appears [[Wikipedia:Embossing|embossed]] on the candy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' But I need to think of a better shape than the standard piece-of-crap shape.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm talkin' to you, Baby Ruth. <br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Periodic Table.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's see... shape, shape, shape shape shape&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{The candy rapidly morphs through a series of shapes: a chainsaw, a dollar sign, a thumbs-up, a syringe, a campfire, the state of [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]] (with the word "BAR" written on it), a moustache, and the bust of Van Buren.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;ooh, what about my pants? <br />
<br />
''{The candy morphs into the shape of Strong Bad's pants}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Everybody knows my pants! And they come with a built-in bite out of them ''{a bite is taken out of the pants, with a 'chomp' sound}'' for security, 'cause who's gonna steal a pair of half-eaten choco-pants?<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to computer}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, with a candy bar like that, you could get away with anything!<br />
<br />
''{A candy commercial begins. Fade in to a close-up of Strong Bad's feet and pants as he walks down a road towards the camera. The words "copyright 2006 Cheap As Free Foodstuffs" appear in the bottom-right corner for the first few seconds.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' You got the munch.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the same scene, except now focusing on the right of Strong Bad's upper body. You can see that he is holding a SBLOUNSKCHED! candy bar. As the words "Crisp" and "Crunch" are spoken, they appear on the left.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The crisp and the crunch.<br />
<br />
''{The camera cuts to full shot of Strong Bad walking. You can see that he is going along an odd-looking hill.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Livin' in the gutter with&mdash;<br />

<br />
''{Cut to the Athletic Field, where Strong Bad is in the foreground watching Coach Z struggle with a basketball over his head. On the scoreboard, [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] has "0" points and TECH has "R".}''<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' When Coach puts you in,&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad turns to face the camera, holds a SBLOUNSKCHED! candy bar up to the camera and smiles.}'' <br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with chorus}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!<br />

''{Strong Bad freezes in midair as the background changes back to blue, with the logo beneath him. As the TV announcer speaks, two SBLOUNSKCHED bars appear on the left in their wrappers, one after the other. A yellow oval with the message "Dentist Acknowledged" appears on the right.}''<br />

*Although the word [[wikipedia:colloid|colloids]] has several meanings, in this situation it refers to small particles that are suspended within the substance that contains them.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Sibilant consonant|Sibilance]] (or "sibilants") is a word commonly used when testing microphones to make sure that sibilant sounds ("s", "sh", "z", and "zh") are picked up and balanced properly against other speech.<br />
*The date shown on the Tandy 400 is Friday, December 31, 1999. It is possible that Strong Bad was changing the date to avoid the [[Wikipedia:year 2000 problem|year 2000 problem]].<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Veal|Veal]] is the meat taken from young calves, which some consider to be an inhumane practice. It is generally appreciated for its delicate taste, tender texture, and nutritious qualities.<br />

<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*During the SBLOUNSKCHED! commercial, you can't adjust the contrast knobs on the [[Tandy 400]] as you normally could.<br />
*The Tandy gives the "current" date as month-day-year, with a 4-digit year, but it is asking for the new date as day-month-year with a 2-digit year.<br />
*Requesting a "new date" at startup was very common for early Tandy computers, as many of them did not have a CMOS battery installed to keep track of the date and time while powered off.<br />
*As evidenced by the "a:\>" prompt on the Tandy, Strong Bad exited the date program without entering the new date.<br />
*The Edgar's Baby's Daddy filter screen is in the [[Compy 386|Compy]]'s [[Fonts|font]], Commodore 64, instead of Glitch0, the Lappy's font.<br />
*Although licorice candy is mentioned as a part of Strong Bad's [[Wikipedia:Confectionery|confectionery]], it is the only candy ingredient of the candy bar that is not one of the visible "elements" in the periodic table.<br />
*From the start of the commercial to just before The Paper comes down is exactly 30 seconds &ndash; the standard length of a TV commercial.<br />
*Though Strong Bad says he doesn't have any candy named after him, he does have a chewing gum named after him in an Easter egg from [[2 emails]].<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
<br />
*When Strong Bad is reading Da NewsPape, part of the text is overlapping onto the wall.<br />
*When Strong Bad says, "I'm talking to you, Baby Ruth", he doesn't move his mouth into an 'O' when he says, "Ruth".<br />
<br />
===Fixed Goofs===<br />
<!--please see HRWiki talk:Standards -> When TBC fix things for a discussion on this heading--><br />
<br />
*When this email was released, there was no back button at the end. It was fixed within a day of the email's release.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*"Re: re: re: resending" is a possible reference to [[bottom 10]], where Strong Bad explains that he hates emails that have more than one Fwd: or Re: in the subject line.<br />
*"Rrrrates so low!!!!" were once also offered by Homestar Runner to Marzipan in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]]. <br />
*This is another example of [[Homestar Peeking|characters peeking]] from behind objects in the foreground.<br />
*One of the rejected forms for the candy bar is the [[Van Buren|bust of Van Buren]].<br />
*At the beginning of the commercial, small print at the bottom reveals that it is a production of [[Cheap As Free]] Foodstuffs.<br />
*Marshie's creepy voice in the Easter egg is similar to an Easter egg in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br />
*"Edgar's Baby's Daddy" is another instance of [[Edgar]]-based computer protection software.<br />
**In [[long pants]], Edga Jr. was "The Long Email Killa Filta". "Filta" is used again for the latest Edgar filter, "Edgar´s Baby´s Daddy H*R Junkmail Filta".<br />
*"Possible caper" refers to [[caper]].<br />
*"Da NewsPapes" is a reference to the newspapers in [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]], which were called "The Local Newspapes".<br />
*The camera rotating around Strong Bad while he's standing on the hill is a possible reference to [[Old Intro 2]].<br />
*One of Homestar's email subject lines contains an example of [[be's]].<br />
*The part of the commercial with Senor Cardgage sleeping in an alley is a reference to [[Senorial Day]].<br />
*The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar is another example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
<!--Marshie's line in the Easter egg is too generic to make a reference out of. Don't add anything about it unless you have an EXTREMELY good reason to do so, and even if you do, STUFFing it is probably better.--><br />
*"Sibilance," a word describing the "s" sound, was used by Tom Hanks in a "Wayne's World" sketch on ''Saturday Night Live'' in a soundcheck for Aerosmith.<br />
*The "SBLOUNSKCHED!" commercial is a parody of a series of TV commercials for [[Wikipedia:Mentos|Mentos]] candies. In these commercials, it is suggested that you can get away with virtually anything so long as you have the advertised product.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Baby Ruth|Baby Ruth]] is a popular 2-ounce candy bar in a log-shaped form. Strong Bad's comment about "athletes with their own candy bars" probably refers to the common assumption that the Baby Ruth was named after baseball great [[Wikipedia:Babe Ruth|Babe Ruth]]. ([http://www.babyruth.com/faqs.asp Officially], Baby Ruth was named after the daughter of U.S. President [[Wikipedia:Grover Cleveland|Grover Cleveland]], but this may have been a smokescreen to avoid paying royalties to the Babe.)<br />
**"Athletes with their own candy bars" also refers to [[Wikipedia:Reggie Jackson|Reggie Jackson]] who had a candy bar named after him in 1978. It was a circular "bar" of peanuts dipped in caramel and covered in chocolate.<!-- please see discussion in talk --><br />
**[[Wikipedia:Carmelo Anthony|Carmelo Anthony]], the starting small forward for the NBA's [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]], also briefly had his own candy bar, the "Melo Bar".<br />
**Strong Bad's later allusion to the Baby Ruth's scatological appearance is most likely a reference to a like-minded gag in the film ''[[Wikipedia:Caddyshack|Caddyshack]]''<br />
*Grizzly Chomps, a Hostess-brand chocolate cupcake introduced in 1992, similarly featured a "built-in bite". The package bore a cartoon bear saying, "I start 'em, you finish 'em."<br />
*"Crispity" is a made-up word used in advertisements, along with "crunchity" and "peanut-buttery," to describe the [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]] candy bar.<br />
*"Re: PharamBlacy news", which appears in the Junkmail Filta, is a subject line from an actual [[Wikipedia:E-mail spam|spam]] that was circulating in heavy volume around the time this email was produced. It advertised discount prescription drugs, and the subject had two random letters inserted where the B and l appear here.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Shemp Howard|Shemp Howard]] and [[Wikipedia:Curly Joe DeRita|"Curly Joe" DeRita]] served as the third of the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]] at various points in the act's history.<br />
*The "Periodic Table of Candy Elements" which appears behind Strong Bad's candy creation as he is making it is a spoof off of the "Periodic Table of Elements" which is the basis for all Chemistry and other scientific research.<br />

<div>subject: Candy</div><br />
Dear Strongbad<br /><br />
I was wondering, if you are so famous, popular, and a<br /><br />
chick-magnet how come you dont have any candy product...<br /><br />
or food thing... to sell..............<br /><br />
From somone thats not homestarrunnner<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{While reading, Strong Bad says "Dear Strongbad I was wondering," as one clause, pronounces "dont" with a short O sound (rhyming with "font"), inserts exaggerated pauses at each ellipsis (even humming to himself for a few seconds while he waits on the longest one right before the end), and says "somone" as a name.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, of course you're not, Somone. Or else you would've fallen prey to Edgar's Baby's Daddy: my Homestar junkmail filter. ''{clears screen}'' So what<!-- He does not say "if." --> I don't have a candy product. I betcha I will by the end of this email. I'm famous, popular, and chick-magnet enough to have a candy product. Why is it athletes are the only ones with their own candy bars? Shouldn't they have their own brand of, like, jock-strap or divorce lawyer, instead? ''{clears screen}'' For my candy bar, we're gonna need a name that's 50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!!! How 'bou... SBLOUNSKCHED!<br />
<br />
''{A brown "SBLOUNSKCHED! bar" smashes onscreen, and then disappears.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz that's how you're gonna feel when you eat one... like you got SBLOUNSKCHED! ''{has trouble pronouncing the end, and types it slowly}'' Now we gotta be sure and represent as many of the different states&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{A candy-based periodic table covers the screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;of candy matter as possible. We’ll start with a gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{While Strong Bad says the second sentence, a pile of marshmallows appears from the left and puffs into a shiny, white vapor.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;encased in a globule of semi-solid licorice colloid.<br />
<br />
''{As this is said, some black goo comes from behind and encases the vapor in a bubbly black sphere. It shrinks while it and many other identical blobs fill the lower part of the screen as the next sentence starts.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' A bunch of those will be floating in a channel of liquid nougat&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{A wave of white nougat fills the lower half of the screen, and the licorice spheres begin floating in the new stream.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;which I recently found out is the candy equivalent of veal. And we roll all that up inside a solid crispety cookety log&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{At the end of the last sentence, a cookie dough log with chocolate chips wraps around the stream and puts it back to the center. It has a small stump sticking out with a leaf.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;and cover it with rich, creamy... pepperoni.<br />
<br />
''{Seven slices of pepperoni drop along the top of the candy log.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Then sprinkle that with, not just crispy puffed rice, but whole tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]].<br />
<br />
''{As this is spoken, twelve tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice cereal drop onto the treat.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally, smother that with the ol' BBC: Boring Brown Chocolate.<br />
<br />
''{Liquid chocolate is poured onto the candy and completely covers it.}''<br />
<br />
'''BRITISH-ACCENTED VOICE:''' I say... <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that is a confection worthy of the SBLOUNSKCHED! name.<br />
<br />
''{"SBLOUNSKCHED!" appears [[Wikipedia:Embossing|embossed]] on the candy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' But I need to think of a better shape than the standard piece-of-crap shape.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm talkin' to you, Baby Ruth. <br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Periodic Table.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's see... shape, shape, shape shape shape&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{The candy rapidly morphs through a series of shapes: a chainsaw, a dollar sign, a thumbs-up, a syringe, a campfire, the state of [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]] (with the word "BAR" written on it), a moustache, and the bust of Van Buren.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;ooh, what about my pants? <br />
<br />
''{The candy morphs into the shape of Strong Bad's pants}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Everybody knows my pants! And they come with a built-in bite out of them ''{a bite is taken out of the pants, with a 'chomp' sound}'' for security, 'cause who's gonna steal a pair of half-eaten choco-pants?<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to computer}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, with a candy bar like that, you could get away with anything!<br />
<br />
''{A candy commercial begins. Fade in to a close-up of Strong Bad's feet and pants as he walks down a road towards the camera. The words "copyright 2006 Cheap As Free Foodstuffs" appear in the bottom-right corner for the first few seconds.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' You got the munch.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the same scene, except now focusing on the right of Strong Bad's upper body. You can see that he is holding a SBLOUNSKCHED! candy bar. As the words "Crisp" and "Crunch" are spoken, they appear on the left.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' The crisp and the crunch.<br />
<br />
''{The camera cuts to full shot of Strong Bad walking. You can see that he is going along an odd-looking hill.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Livin' in the gutter with&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an alley, where Senor Cardgage is sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his Aldi bag as a pillow. Strong Bad's silhouette is seen walking past the edge of the street.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;Grandma...<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the Athletic Field, where Strong Bad is in the foreground watching Coach Z struggle with a basketball over his head. On the scoreboard, [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] has "0" points and TECH has "R".}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' When Coach puts you in,&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad turns to face the camera, holds a SBLOUNSKCHED! candy bar up to the camera and smiles.}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' &mdash;you gotta go for the win.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad facing the [[Tandy 400]]. The following is displayed on the Tandy's screen.}''<br />

<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Y2K turned out all riiiight!<br />
<br />
''{When "all right" is sung, Strong Bad turns to face the camera and holds up the candy bar again. He also winks and gives a "thumbs-up" sign with his other hand. Cut to a blue background with the word "SBLOUNSKCHED" written repeated in the background. The candy bar's logo pops onscreen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with chorus}'' SBLOUNSKCHED!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad is facing the camera. Behind him is an angry Marzipan with her art equipment, her canvas broken over her head. Strong Bad raises the candy bar to the camera again, and Marzipan smiles.}''<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' Crunchy chew it!<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing on the green hill, this time with the path gone. The camera circles around Strong Bad as the sung line appears onscreen and then fades away.}''<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with chorus}'' Who's got the money?!?<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad jumps up.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You got... SBLOUNSKCHED!'' {Has slight trouble saying the name}''<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad freezes in midair as the background changes back to blue, with the logo beneath him. As the TV announcer speaks, two SBLOUNSKCHED bars appear on the left in their wrappers, one after the other. A yellow oval with the message "Dentist Acknowledged" appears on the right.}''<br />

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{speaking very rapidly}'' Buy one and you can get one free root canal or cavity search.<br />

== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
===Explanations=== <br />
*Although the word [[wikipedia:colloid|colloids]] has several meanings, in this situation it refers to small particles that are suspended within the substance that contains them.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Sibilant consonant|Sibilance]] (or "sibilants") is a word commonly used when testing microphones to make sure that sibilant sounds ("s", "sh", "z", and "zh") are picked up and balanced properly against other speech.<br />
*The date shown on the Tandy 400 is Friday, December 31, 1999. It is possible that Strong Bad was changing the date to avoid the [[Wikipedia:year 2000 problem|year 2000 problem]].<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Veal|Veal]] is the meat taken from young calves, which some consider to be an inhumane practice. It is generally appreciated for its delicate taste, tender texture, and nutritious qualities.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:BBC|BBC]] actually stands for ''British Broadcasting Corporation'', which may explain why the English voice is offended by Strong Bad's interpretation.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] have revealed that "Draw [[Trogdor]] again" is one of the top five [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|commonly sent emails that will not be answered]].<br />
*See [[The Periodic Table of Candy Elements]] for the full table.<br />
[[Image:DaNewsPapes.png|thumb|Da NewsPapes]]<br />
*Strong Bad's [[News Articles|newspaper]] reads as follows:<br />
<blockquote style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif;font-size:120%"><u>Da NewsPapes</u><br><br />
World events continued for the 43rd<br><br />
consecutive day. This is just 3 shy of<br><br />
the all-time record of 46. Many believe<br><br />
this to be a sign of things to come. Ed<br><br />
Bache concurs. "This is a sign of<br><br />
things to come."<br><br><br />

*The Edgar's Baby's Daddy filter screen is in the [[Compy 386|Compy]]'s [[Fonts|font]], Commodore 64, instead of Glitch0, the Lappy's font.<br />
*Although licorice candy is mentioned as a part of Strong Bad's [[Wikipedia:Confectionery|confectionery]], it is the only candy ingredient of the candy bar that is not one of the visible "elements" in the periodic table.<br />

([http://www.babyruth.com/faqs.asp Officially], Baby Ruth was named after the daughter of U.S. President [[Wikipedia:Grover Cleveland|Grover Cleveland]], but this may have been a smokescreen to avoid paying royalties to the Babe.)<br />
**"Athletes with their own candy bars" also refers to [[Wikipedia:Reggie Jackson|Reggie Jackson]] who had a candy bar named after him in 1978. It was a circular "bar" of peanuts dipped in caramel and covered in chocolate.<!-- please see discussion in talk --><br />
**[[Wikipedia:Carmelo Anthony|Carmelo Anthony]], the starting small forward for the NBA's [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]], also briefly had his own candy bar, the "Melo Bar".<br />
**Strong Bad's later allusion to the Baby Ruth's scatological appearance is most likely a reference to a like-minded gag in the film ''[[Wikipedia:Caddyshack|Caddyshack]]''<br />
*Grizzly Chomps, a Hostess-brand chocolate cupcake introduced in 1992, similarly featured a "built-in bite". The package bore a cartoon bear saying, "I start 'em, you finish 'em."<br />
*"Crispity" is a made-up word used in advertisements, along with "crunchity" and "peanut-buttery," to describe the [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]] candy bar.<br />
*"Re: PharamBlacy news", which appears in the Junkmail Filta, is a subject line from an actual [[Wikipedia:E-mail spam|spam]] that was circulating in heavy volume around the time this email was produced. It advertised discount prescription drugs, and the subject had two random letters inserted where the B and l appear here.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Shemp Howard|Shemp Howard]] and [[Wikipedia:Curly Joe DeRita|"Curly Joe" DeRita]] served as the third of the [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|Three Stooges]] at various points in the act's history.<br />
*The "Periodic Table of Candy Elements" which appears behind Strong Bad's candy creation as he is making it is a spoof off of the "Periodic Table of Elements" which is the basis for all Chemistry and other scientific research.<br />
<!--Marshie's line in the Easter egg is too generic to make a reference out of. Don't add anything about it unless you have an EXTREMELY good reason to do so, and even if you do, STUFFing it is probably better.--><br />

Strong Bad,<br /><br />
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You<br /><br />
simply owe it to society. What should it be about?<br /><br />
That's up to you.<br /><br />
Best Wishes,<br /><br />
Anonymous Contributor<br /><br />
Gambier, OH</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad pronounces "Contributor" as "ContribuTOR" and "OH" as "hhhough"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' HEY! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.<br />
<br />
''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''<br />
<br />
'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...<br />
<br />
''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''<br />
<br />
'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityiyiyiy!<br />
<br />
''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply entitled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!<br />

* Click the ''Encore'' that appears on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen when you scroll your mouse over it to see the rock opera again.<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
=== Explanations ===<br />
*A [[Wikipedia:Rock opera|rock opera]] is, as the name implies, a sung dramatic work in a rock, instead of classical, musical style. The term originated with the programmatic works of [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]], in particular their rock opera ''[[Wikipedia:Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)<br />
*Each quote is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and so forth.<br />
*A [[Rock Opera (karaoke)|karaoke]] video was released for the Rock Opera on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Strong Bad Email DVD]].<br />
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#colorado|colorado]]".<br />
*The same strobe lights from [[techno]] are seen during the "Positate without pizzaz and jam" section of the song. However, both lights in this email are different colors from the lights in techno.<br />
<br />
=== Remarks ===<br />
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."<br />
*The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.<br />
*Strong Bad ''did'' back down from a bad idea in [[other days]], when he decided not to speak the entire email as a robot.<br />
*When Dangeresque falls through the ice, the hole is smaller than his head.<br />
*Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]] translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a [[Wikipedia:double negative|double negative]] meaning "continue throwing roses at me."<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.<br />
*When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy's screen.<br />
*When The Cheat throws a rose in Strong Bad's face, it hits his left eye. However, when Strong Bad starts freaking out about it, the rose is on his right eye.<br />
*When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.<br />
**Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's head and shirt; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the shirt.<br />
*In [[trevor the vampire]], when Strong Bad goes up to the screen and says "Hi, everybody," his eyes were given the newer style. However, in the opera, the same scene was shown, but his eyes were still the old style.<br />
*When the word "metal" zooms out toward the screen passing in front of Strong Bad, his mouth appears on top of the word instead of behind it.<br />
*The word ''crackin''' isn't actually said in [[fingers]], though it does appear on Strong Bad's screen.<br />
**Given the opera is just sound bites from the different emails the word probably was recorded, but it wasn't in the final cut.<br />
*If you play the opera again (via the "ENCORE!" in the corner), a slight bit of the audio for the part afterwards will play.<br />
<br />
=== Inside References ===<br />
*The shoes that walk across the screen are the back button of the old main page.<br />
**The shoes were also used as a back button in [[She Loves Me!]]<br />
*On the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, Anonymous has his hands glued to his butt, which also happened to Strong Sad in the e-mail [[1 step ahead]].<br />
**Also, the drawing of Anonymous has two toenails, much like Strong Sad.<br />
**Strong Sad also gave an "anonymous tip" in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].<br />
*Also on the second piece-of-paper, Strong Bad's legs are positioned like those of [[Wrestleman]] from the weekly [[Sketchbook]].<br />
*When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad E-mail [[secret recipes]].<br />
*When Strong Bad appears to have two electric guitars sticking out of his head, it is a reference to the cover art for the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].<br />
*Strong Bad sitting in the chair swirling the wine in the cup is modeled after a similar scene from [[Everybody to the Limit]].<br />
**Strong Bad also swirls his wine in [[montage]].<br />
**The background behind him in this scene is from [[dangeresque 3]].<br />
*The action figures of Strong Sad and Strong Bad are from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].<br />
*The background of the area with the pyramid of gold bars (pre-explosion) is taken directly from [[RhinoFeeder]].<br />
*The "Goodtime Palace" is modeled after similar scenes from [[animal]] and even features Baby Styles.<br />
**Also, the normal "black frame" around the screen changes to the Cheat's poorly drawn frame from his "[[Powered by The Cheat]]" Cartoons.<br />
*The picture of the "Hardest Guitar Chord Ever" comes from [[privileges]].<br />
*[[Club Technochocolate]] is originally from [[extra plug]].<br />
** But just the word "technochocolate" comes from [[monument]].<br />
*The rock music which starts at Club Technochocolate uses the same chord progression as ''The Cheat Is Not Dead'' from [[caper]].<br />
*[[The Stage|The stage]] the entire cast is grouped on at the end is seen in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], among other holiday toons.<br />
*The "biscuitdoughhandsman review" in the Easter egg is yet another reference to everyone's favorite unapprehended villain, [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]].<br />
*"[[The Deke]]" is originally from [[autobiography]].<br />
*Strong Bad's dance move with Baby Styles is a reference to [[virus]] when he compliments Bubs for being a computer genius man.<br />
*"Sbemail" is a reference to the filename of every Strong Bad e-mail. Strong Bad also refers to this in [[unused emails]] and [[kids' book]].<br />
*This isn't the first time Strong Bad has spoken backwards, he also does it on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].<br />
*The guitars featured in the email are the same as in the Easter egg in the email [[new hands]].<br />
*The Pixelated Strong Bad with the Pink hoodie is a reference to an Easter egg in the strong bad email [[montage]].<br />
*"NO FOR RENT" is a reference to a response from the [[Jhonka]] in [[Peasant's Quest]].<br />
<br />
=== Real-World References ===<br />
*Strong Bad's "Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba!" at the end is quoting the famous Warner Bros. cartoon mouse [[Wikipedia:Speedy Gonzales|Speedy Gonzales]].<br />
*The electric guitars in the opera are (or are modeled after) the Gibson V-Factor, more commonly known as "Flying V".<br />
*The amps are modeled after Marshall stacks, but instead of "Marshall," the logo reads "An Amp". These were also used in [[different town]] and [[Cool Things]], but labeled "Marzipan".<br />
*Strong Bad's rap at the beginning of the e-mail may be a reference to Missy Elliott's "Work It," where she says "I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup I!"<br />
*Strong Bad walking toward the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie clich&eacute; when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').<br />
<!-- It's true that Strong Bad's sprite in the jumpsuit is from Punch Out!, but it's more directly from montage! Since montage mentions Punch Out!, and since this page mentions montage, there's really not any reason to mention Punch Out! here. --><br />
*off<sup>13</sup> Broadway refers to [[Wikipedia:Off-Broadway|Off-Broadway]] and [[Wikipedia:Off-Off-Broadway|Off-Off-Broadway]], classificaions of theatre size in New York theatre venues. Off-Broadway refers to theatres with audience sizes between 100 and 499, and Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatres with 100 seats or less. The concept behind them is that having a very small house allows for productions that are much more experimental and financially risky.<br />

===Commentary Transcript===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I—people think I—they just flipped the audio track when I really said—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —that, live.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' —introducing you.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.<br />

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good cop team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''<br />
<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Tomp—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't—don't get up to high voices.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh, so which email is this we're doing here?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh, rock opera. So this was—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So you—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall—<br />

<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b—lightbulb in my mouth!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants—those are some—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tail. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That is—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' —video.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' —gettin' in on the action. <br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this. <br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You can—you can tell.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—I think I was calling... all cars.<br />

'''MIKE:''' What do you call—what's that girl's name?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Cyn—''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Phair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' No.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.<br />

<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm totally checking my email. Total, man.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="short tandy email">Hi strong bad. This is Trevor from Hampden<br /><br />
Maine and I was wondering if you could teach<br /><br />
me how to be as awesome as you. I am a<br /><br />
vampire and</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And what? That's it? I'm a vampire and here's a million dollars...or I'm a vampire and here's your own spaceship... I mean what the f ''{stops typing}'' Oh no, I get it. ''{sadly}'' THEY GOT HIM!!! Somebody stuck him with a stake through the heart! Oh, this is so sad! Oh Trevor, I pine for you.<br />
<br />
''{Fade to black. Strong Bad walks in.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi, everybody. In memoriam of poor Trevor, let's go back and revisit a few of my favorite Trevor memories.<br />
<br />
''{He turns around and presses a button on a remote control. Static cut to the Tandy showing Trevor's email.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' This is Trevor from Hampden Maine and I was wondering if you could teach me how to be as awesome as you.<br />
<br />
''{Static cut back to Strong Bad in the black scene.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that was great. And who could forget this one?<br />
<br />
''{He turns around and clicks the remote again. Static cut back to the Tandy, email still on screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' I am a vampire and... ''{typing}'' And what? That's it?<br />
<br />
''{Static cut back to Strong Bad in the black scene.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, we sure had some great times Trevor. ''{leaves quickly}''<br />
<br />
''{Fade to the Tandy, which displays the following message:}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none; text-align:center"><br /><br />

<br />
''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*This email contains one of the only times, if the only time, that Strong Bad starts to telegraph an actual swear word. He has typed "what the f" before he suddenly realizes what happened to Trevor, which insinuates that he was about to use a not-so-family-friendly word.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*This is the first email featuring Strong Bad's spaceship obsession, continued in [[credit card]] and [[CGNU]], and most recently in [[space program]].<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*When we cut away from the Tandy, the contrast buttons are still clickable (though not visible), and only in the last cutaway will they affect the Tandy's display when clicked on.<br />
<br />
===Fast Forward===<br />
*The line "I pine for you!" later appears in the game [[TROGDOR!]].<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Bad Emails are a part of this balanced breakfast.<br />
<br />
''{reading the email}''<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, <br /><br />
<br /><br />
What would you do if you where stuck<br /><br />
on an desert island with Homestar<br /><br />
Runner?<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Yami Yugi<br /><br />
England</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad says "were" instead of "where" and "a" instead of "an".}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Yami Yugi ''{says the name hesitantly}'', I suspect it would be like most cartoons. You know, we'd start to go nuts after a while and I would look at Homestar and he would look like a big steak. And then Homestar would look at me and I'd look like ''{stops typing}'' you know ''{starts typing again}'' some kinda brownie sundae. ''{clears screen}'' So we'd chase each other around the island, trying to eat each other. And at some point my foot would look like a sandwich and I'd put salt on it and try to eat it and it's like, "Oh! It's my foot!!" ''{clears screen}'' But that's a best-case scenario. I'm sure in real life it would be much more annoying and painful with Dumpface involved. ''{he types "Dumpface" but says "Homestar"}''<br />
<br />
''{cut to Homestar and Strong Bad on an island}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are we rescued yet?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna need to get rescued in a second if you don't quit asking me that. ''{shakes his fist at Homestar}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhhhhh... Hey, Strong Bad.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' What?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there ice cream yet?<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna need to get ice cream in a second if you don't quit asking me that. You know... 'cause I'm gonna hit you...and you'll need the ice cream to... stop the swelling.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Stinkoman.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... did you just call me Stinkoman?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, sir, I did.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Geez. You don't happen to have a gun on your side of the island, do ya?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Hey, Strong Bad, check this out! ''{turns away}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, don't start with that—<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Toons! ''{An ocean liner passes by with a loud "toot"}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar—<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Games! ''{An angry-looking, red-eyed, Moby Dick-style white whale, with harpoons embedded in its body, emerges from the left side of the water. It spurts water from its blowhole and then goes back into the water.}'' <br />
<br />

<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' E-mail! ''{A propeller plane with a "WEAR A BIKINI" banner attached to it flies by}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh!<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, I love doing that. ''{A bottle washes up on the island.}''<br />
<br />

==Fun Facts==<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*Strong Bad says "Yami Yugi" easily when he reads the email, but seems to have trouble the second time. The name of the person who wrote the email, [[Wikipedia:Yugi Mutou|Yami Yugi]], is also the name of a character from the popular anime series and card game [[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh!|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']]<br />
*In March of 2003, Stephan Pastis, author of the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" ran a week of comics bearing a striking resemblance to this cartoon. In the strip the characters Rat and Pig (Rat being a jerk wisecracker like Strong Bad and Pig being an idiot like Homestar) are stranded on an island the same size as the one in the toon, even with a large palm tree in the middle. The character of Pig also finds a useless message in a bottle in the comic.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*Homestar's Main Page joke refers to [[Main Page 3]] ''(see Inside References)'', but on the real Main Page 3, the plane actually flies past on "Store," not "E-mail."<br />
*The San Francisco 49ers' helmet facemask is incorrect. They wore a gray facemask in the 1984-'85 season.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*Homestar references Main Page 3 when he yells out "Toons," "Games," and "E-mail" and various things appear. ''(see Goofs for more)''<br />
*Strong Bad says, "This is the worst deserted island ever," which is a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], where he says, "This is the worst Decemberween ever."<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*The [[Wikipedia:San Francisco 49ers|49ers]] beat the [[Wikipedia:Miami Dolphins|Dolphins]] 38–16 in [[Wikipedia:Super Bowl XIX|Super Bowl XIX]].<br />
*The first cinematic instance of hunger-induced delirium altering the appearance of a character from their actual resemblance to an edible object actually took place in Charlie Chaplin’s 1925 movie [[Wikipedia:The Gold Rush|''The Gold Rush'']], which was filmed, not animated.<br />
<br />

=== Commentary Transcript ===<br />
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Welcome back, I'm Matt Chapman.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I am my brother Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' What?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Uh? Isn't, uh... Sorry.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah? Go ahead.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh, I don't remember what I was going to say. I like this email, though. I like the, um, visuals.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' This is a lot, this is pretty much referencing, I mean it's done a lot in cartoons, but there's that one Bugs Bunny where he's on the desert island with those two—there's that one tall skinny guy and one fat short guy. That's where a lot of this comes from. I think they see each other as a steak and a hot dog. And I think that Bugs tricks one of them into eating his own foot at some point probably.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' This is the origin of the term Stinkoman too.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' It's true. We were just screwin' around and I said the word Stinkoman.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think so. But I like that scene right there.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike keeps talking about wanting to revisit this little desert island scene.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' It might be revisited by the time you're listening to this commentary.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' Not if I have anything to say about it.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Matt hates me.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I'm just kidding. Look, there it was! Yeah, see?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' He did, yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' You haven't got a baboon in your pocket, have you? There you go, Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, thanks.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' I like this. Those's actually are incorrect, aren't they? That's not exactly what he does on that menu page, I think.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh, maybe, yeah, maybe not. Look at those clouds. They're a little different than usual, aren't they?<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' They are. Oh that—that's nice, that's—I remember Scott Edwards was over for that one. I think it snowed.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Dave Brown, eh—<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' And then it snowed and we didn't have to go to school the next day.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' I think you're right.<br />
<br />
'''MATT:''' No, it was great. Why don't you be the narrator for Batman?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Okay Matt. (imitating narrator of Batman) Will they get out of the island? Find out tomorrow Same Bat Time Same Bat Channel!<br />
<br />
=== Fun Facts ===<br />

<div>[[Image:Holiday_Toons_Pic.PNG|thumb|Holiday In Free Country]]<br />
<br />
'''Holidays''' are a big part of [[Free Country, USA]], with holidays such as Mother's Day and Flag Day. Some of the more prevalent holidays are unlikely choices, such as April Fool's Day and Labor Day, also known as Labor Dabor. The most celebrated holidays, however, are Halloween and [[Decemberween]], the latter of which appears to be a euphemism for Christmas, possibly created for viewers of religions other than Christianity. <br />
<br />

==Leaving factor ==<br />
A quote from JoeyDay:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>:::To all those who are talking about leaving, I'm deeply saddened that you would jump ship without really giving this a chance. I don't know how many of you were around when we first switched away from 'Tavi to MediaWiki, but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park then, either. Everybody had to log in about five times before they could edit pages, and we were listed on Google as "Uncle Hamstring's Barn Yard Animals" for about three months until Google's algorithm caught up with our new format. I promise if you'll all be patient, we'll have this new system looking like the old layout in no time at all. I think we could have everything back to normal by, say, September at the latest. In the meantime, it would be really helpful if everyone could stay calm. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)</blockquote><br />
<br />
I'm sure this will either bring you back, or make you guilty about being so defiant. Either way, I win, and either way, you lose. &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Actually, it was a secret plan to hopefully make some users so guilty that they admit it's a prank. But, it is 'Tavi. The MediaWiki namespace is my favorite feature. Gee, imagine a namespace about a group of what you might call competitors! {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 20:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Email ==<br />
<br />
Hi, Bluebry. Do you check your email? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I retract whatever I said. Ima change email adresses after this. (No, I haven't seen your email). {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 21:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Okay, after seeing your email, I believe you now. I mean, that's a much better description of what I've seen here so far. Thanks! {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 21:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== So?! ==<br />
I ''cannot believe'' you would run away like that ''just'' because you wanted to make people feel guilty. It was just a joke, anyway. But still, why give up like that? &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It's more than that. 1) I was watching Recent Changes the entire time. 2) It was a plan to make the people who did the prank admit it was a prank. When they didn't, I got worried. I wondered if they were right. Then I recieved FireBird's email. That would be the end of that story. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
::Ah. So FireBird emailed you saying that it was all just a joke, but that you shouldn't ruin it for everybody else? I see. Y'know, for everyone who thought it was a prank, I'mm surprised. It was easy to see through, but I trusted every excuse the sysops said. It was amazing how much I was fooled. But it'd have been so much better if people didn't tell everyone it was a prank. That's ruining the entire thing. I myself was not entirely fooled. After all, YK spilled all the secrets on IRC. &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::I agree with that, actually. It's kinda like one of those mob-psychology things. When one person does it in a large group, the others start. If other users hadn't pointed out things, I would have been fooled too. But, yeah, I would've liked it better if we both never knew... {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
::::I'm glad, though, that for the most part I was completely fooled. After all, YK was on IRC telling me the whole thing about 5 minutes before twelve. There's not much that I missed, and I was completely fooled all day. &mdash; {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)<br />
:::::No offence to anyone who did it, but, it did cause some damage. Now I gotta find all of my monobook skins that I created to make the site look like MediaWiki. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This week, I'm feeling my style! I've got confidence in my email!<br />

<div>subject: sb!!!!</div><br />
Dear Strong Bad,<br /><br />
If your head got disconnected and your head was rolling<br /><br />
all over the place and you didn't even know were your<br /><br />
body is or your head, what would you do?<br /><br />
Jenny<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad struggles to read everything between "were" and the final "head". He also sings Jenny's name, as follows:}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Jennyyy... ''{high-pitched}'' Jenny! ''{speaking normally, typing}'' Um, was ''your'' head connected to ''your'' body when you wrote this email? I think I get the gist of it. ''{clears the screen}'' While my head and body are normally the bosomest ''{pronounced boosomest}'' of buddies, I suppose I could double my productivity if they were separated. Like, I could raise that ruckus I've been planning in two days instead of four! The plausibilities are endless!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad's disembodied head is speaking to Homestar Runner. A sign reads "THE CAREER ADVISOR IS REAL IN" with "REAL" being a separate removable word.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head could be off giving folks career advice...<br />
<br />
''{The scene pans over and darkens, while a second scene appears on the left with a split down the middle of the screen. The scene on the left shows Strong Bad's headless body next to a box of "riot rocks", near the King of Town's castle. He is throwing the rocks at the King of Town and The Poopsmith, who is wearing [[Whatsit|whatsit]]-covered armor and blocking the rocks with a shield that has the King's face on it.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...whilst my body is rioting against the municipality!<br />
<br />
''{The body's scene darkens while the head's scene brightens.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Maybe this running business just isn't for you. Have you ever considered the making and selling of tiny breads?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Bunmaker, eh? Me likey, me likey! Thanks, Eggman! ''{turns away, but then turns back}'' Oh, and... ''{throws coins}'' why don't you get yourself something to eat? Put some meat on them bones, girl!<br />
<br />
''{Homestar walks off. The bar dividing the two scenes slides off to the left, resulting in a single scene. The camera pans right to reveal the same rock-throwing scene just to the right of Strong Bad's head. His head turns toward his body.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' That's some nice revolutin', there, body, but, uh, maybe we should spread out. Like, more.<br />
<br />
''{The body gives the head a thumbs-up. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad's head on a beach. His head is sitting on a picnic blanket, resting against a palm tree, and wearing a pair of sunglasses. There is a drink with three umbrellas in front of him. A seagull can be heard in the background. The camera zooms out slowly.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Ah, livin' the sleazy life.<br />
<br />
''{The camera cuts back to show that Strong Bad's head is actually alone on a small island.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{turning back}'' Hey, cabana boy! My drink needs more umbrellas! What kind of deserted island is this, anyway?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Club Technochocolate, where Strong Bad's body is dancing with Bubs.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Meanwhile, my body could be off putting its considerably reduced weight on it down at the cl&uuml;b!<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' Dang, Strong Body! Without all that extra head ballast, your moves are twicely fresh! Twicely fresh!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an image of Strong Bad's head rolling across The Field.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time. I might have to rig up some kind of repulsor lifts!<br />
<br />
''{The camera cuts back, and the head begins to hover through a disc on the bottom.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, scratch that. I'm gonna need something with a little more... muscle.<br />
<br />
''{The disc disappears and is replaced by flaming exhaust pipes on the top of its head. Motorcycle sounds are heard.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! ''{leans back, as though revving up}'' Reer! Reeeeer! ''{starts zipping back and forth across the scene quickly}'' Rooow! Rooow! Rooo! Reer! ''{imitating brakes as it stops}'' Reeeeee! Whoa! This mess rules! I can finally win the million-yard dash! ''{zips forward again}'' Roooo...<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a finish line, which the head zips through quickly. Then cut to the other side, where Coach Z is holding a stopwatch.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{imitating brakes}'' Reeeee! Oh, yes! I beat Homestar!<br />
<br />
'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, Head Bad, but you was the only one competin' this year! Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!<br />
<br />
''{Homestar jumps up behind Strong Bad's head, wearing a new hat that reads "BUNMAKER" and holding a box of "TINY BREADS".}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cooornbreeeeead! I got cornbread here! Dinner rolls! Cornbread! Everybody wants a bun! Lemme hear that dinner roll!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a blank white screen. Strong Bad's body walks on from stage right, while the unaltered head rolls on from stage left.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe one day, we'd both learn to regenerate...<br />
<br />
''{The head gains an arm, a green leg, a spirally arm, and an extremely thin robotic-looking leg. The body gains an odd growth colored to look like Strong Bad's head in its chest.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...creating two perfectly-formed Strong Bad specimens!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S BODY:''' ''{in a whiny voice that sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I would like to go to the store.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{in a scratchy voice followed by laughing that also sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' <!-- DON'T CHANGE THIS! --> <sup><small>[[#Footnote|[1]]]</small></sup> <!-- DON'T CHANGE THIS! --><br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eeeugh! Go away, head-nub and nub-head. Those things look straight out of the creature shop from some low-to-no budget horror film. Maybe chopping my head off isn't such a good idea.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing next to a guillotine near the computer.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes dejected The Cheat noises, walks off}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Lappy's screen.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, time to go satisfy my sudden craving for tiny breads. ''{gets up}'' Hope I can find my local bunman...<br />
<br />
''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''<br />

*[[Wikipedia:Ballast tanks|Ballast]] is a material (such as water) used in a ballast tank to add mass to an object, usually to improve stability.<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
<br />
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#below the root|below the root]]".<br />
*One million yards is approximately 568 miles. If Head Bad "dashed" at a constant 200 mph, his time for the race would be 2 hours, 50 minutes and 27.273 seconds.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
<br />
*Viewing the Flash file of this email on a web browser does not allow you to see outside of the frame by stretching the window, due to there being a large black area covering the area normally offscreen. If stretched far enough, there is, actually, an end to the black area.<br />
*The Regenerator 4 Easter egg has an unexpected [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]] in the same word as a capital I.<br />
*In the DVD commentary for [[island]], [[Matt Chapman]] said that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] planned to revisit the island scene in a later toon.<br />
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the running lanes are labeled 5, 6, 7. Lanes 1 through 4 are missing.<br />
*"The Municipality" is a synonym of "town", as in the one over which the King rules.<br />
*This is the first time the King of Town has shown any authority in Free Country USA.<br />
*Homestar doesn't actually have any cornbread in his box of tiny breads.<br />
*The King of Town's "Support The Municipality" poster has a striking resemblance to the description of the Big Brother posters in George Orwell's ''1984''.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
<br />
*When Strong Bad gets the 'muscle' engine growing out of his head, his shadow on the ground never changes to match the engine.<br />
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the finish line tape is connected to a pole. In another shot there, the pole is gone, and the tape just sits on the ground.<br />
*When Strong Body is "rioting against the municipality" a rock appears in his glove after each throw without him reaching into the box.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
<br />
*[[Head Bad and Strong Body]] were first used on [[Main Page 7]], when you moused over ''Characters''.<br />
*Coach Z calling Homestar "'Strammy" mirrors his mispronunciation "Stramstar" in [[A Jorb Well Done]].<br />
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "club" also occurred in [[extra plug]].<br />
*The exhaust pipes on Strong Bad's head are the same ones used on Bubs' pumpkin in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br />
*Homestar becoming a bunmaker could be related to his obsession with bread in [[origins]].<br />
*Bubs' dance in Club Technochocolate is the same one he did in [[geddup noise]].<br />
*While Strong Body is dancing in Club Technochocolate, he slides on the ground while kneeling, a move that was also performed by Strong Bad at the end of his [[rock opera]].<br />

===Real-World References===<br />
<br />
*When reptiles/amphibians that have the ability to lose and regrow the tail actually do lose it, the regenerated tail is often far less attractive and/or improperly formed. This is probably the basis for the deformation of Strong Bad's regenerated "halves", and the fact that they sound much different than Strong Bad.<br />
*Strong Bad's "career advisor" sign is similar to the "Psychiatric help" sign used by [[Wikipedia:Lucy van Pelt|Lucy van Pelt]] from the [[Peanuts]] comics. More specifically, it reads "The doctor is real in", with "real in" being the moveable part of the sign in ''[[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]]''.<br />
*The Repulsorlift is the technology used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' universe to create lift for vehicles. It is most notably used on the various speeders, but it also works for spacecraft, such as the [[Wikipedia:X-wing|X-wing]]. It is supposedly based on the creation of artificial gravity "pockets" that act against the natural gravity of other objects.<br />
*Told Salliaveri may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tom Savini|Tom Savini]], the special-effects wizard most noted for his work on [[Wikipedia:George A. Romero|George A. Romero]]'s ''Living Dead'' series.<br />
*The phrase "put your weight on it" (in reference to dancing) comes from the Rudy Ray Moore movie ''The Disco Godfather,'' and is often regarded as the best thing about the movie. This phrase was used earlier in the email [[flashback]].<br />
*"Lemme hear that dinner roll" is a reference to the lyrics of the 1994 song [[Wikipedia:Tootsie Roll (song)|"Tootsie Roll"]] by the band 69 Boyz.<br />
*The exhaust pipes coming out of Head Bad could be referred to as a "[[Wikipedia:Manifold (automotive engineering)|header]]" in automotive engineering parlance.<br />
*The "We're Onto You" poster could be a reference to the similar propaganda "Big Brother Is Watching You" from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.<br />
<!-- Please to not add references to V is for Vendetta; this reference was declined. --><br />
<!-- The "Regenerator 4" poster is too generic to refer to any one specific low-budget movie. --><br />
<!-- Please note, "bosom buddies" is a common phrase. It is unlikely to be a reference to the Hanks/Scolari TV show, the song from the show Mame, or anything. --><br />
<!-- The Eggman reference was declined. Do not add it. --><br />
<!-- The "Jim Henson's Creature Shop" reference was declined. Do not add it. --><br />
