==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Sippin' on a bottle of email, cold, having a picnic lunch with some co-workers.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bad crayon namers</div>
Dear awesome, 
have you ever thought how rediculous some crayon names are....I mean "blizzard blue"...thats stupid...and "Laser lemon"...??? 
-much love 
Ter 
Andover,MN
</blockquote>

''{After "Dear awesome", Strong Bad adds, "Oh! Somebody finally got it right!"; at the first ellipsis, he adds, "Oh, you mean like, Red Iculous?" and a red crayon labeled "Red Iculous" appears; and after reading the name "Laser lemon", he repeats surprisedly:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Laser lemon?! ''{picking up a phone}'' The Cheat, halt production immediately!

''{Cut to the garage, where The Cheat is using a soldering iron and an oscilloscope to build a [[Laser Lemon|laser with lemons]] on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{over the PA}'' Crayola beat us to the punch. Let's shift focus to... "Laser Limes". ''{The Cheat looks annoyed and a black "cloud" briefly appears over his head}'' Or maybe just laser beams.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noise which sounds unmistakably like "Okay."}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where Strong Bad resumes reading the email. He reads "Andover,MN" as "And over, and over, and over, M N."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ter? What is that, short for Terbert? Or Terlliam? Or Terthew? ''{clears screen}'' Welter, the crayons of my youth had pretty awesome names. Especially the ones that came with my Limozeen 1989 "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" Tour coloring book!

''{Cut to a view of this coloring book, which has a drawing of two members of Limozeen on the cover. As Strong Bad says each of the following color names, a corresponding crayon appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There was Leather Black, Ripped Denim Blue, Groupie Lipstick Red, Skin Flesh ''{pink}'', Hairspray Blond ''{yellow}'', and Tight Shiny Purple. It even came with a cassette tape with a song about how to color!

''{A yellow cassette tape labeled "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" appears. Switch to a view of the first page of the coloring book, which shows Larry and Gary performing. Below this is the text "Gary and Larry rehearse their moves". The page has been colored to look like Larry's guitar has caught fire, and a laser is drawn firing from the guitar with the word "vpoo" over it.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Grab a box of sixty-four,—

''{Changes to the next page, which shows Limozeen with the text "We are in a band called Limozeen!" Perry's skin has been colored green with blue hair, Larry has been colored with a black eye and blood dripping with the words "be tup" colored on his shirt, and Mary has been colored with an extra set of arms coming out of his head doing the evil fingers, the words "2 sets!" are also colored above his head.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' —with a sharpener built right in,—

''{Change to next page, which shows Larry with two women. The text says "<s>Larry</s> Strong Bad always serenades the 'of-age' ladies after the show". Larry's face has been colored like Strong Bad's, and his hands have been drawn to look like red boxing gloves. The girls have the [[Wikipedia:Canadian Flag|Canadian Flag]] colored onto their shirts.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Dump 'em all out onto the floor,—

''{Change to next page, which shows Mary with a face drawn on his abdomen; the text says, "Drummers almost never wear shirts while playing a big show." The rest of the page remains colorless.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' —and let the party begin!

''{Change to next page, which shows Gary leaping into the air while playing the guitar; he has been colored to wear a Los Angeles Lakers uniform, have dark skin, and hold a basketball; a basketball hoop and defending player have also been drawn in. The text reads "Gary's playing some "air" guitar. Get it?"}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Outside the lines!

''{The next page shows Perry with Teeg Dougland at the soundboard; the text reads "Producer/ manager/ roadie/ webmaster Teeg Dougland shows Perry how to tweak the reverb." They have both been colored to look like old ladies with wrinkles, grey hair, lipstick and fingernails all colored in.}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Inside your heart!

''{The next page shows Larry and Perry, who is wearing a bear mask; the text reads "'That bear mask has GOT to go!!!' shouts Larry." They have been more or less perfectly colored in.}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Those crayons of mine!

''{The next page shows Mary and Larry barbecuing; a large, vicious-looking hot dog has been drawn standing behind them; The Cheat has been drawn peeking from around the barbecue. Mary's skin has been colored blue, The text reads, "Back home from the road, Mary and Larry say, 'It's Grilla Time!'"}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Hey, hey, let's go back to the start!

''{The last page shows Larry with Gary and Perry performing, but is not colored. The text reads, "Larry is screaming like a demon. And the other two are playing guitars." The music stops.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, looks like I missed one! As much as I respect you guys as artists, it's time to melt your faces off.

''{Strong Bad uses the Skin Flesh crayon to draw on Larry's face as the music from the first drawing of Trogdor plays. The crayon breaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, crudcrap! My Skin Flesh broke!

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad at his table holding the broken crayon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where'm I gonna get another one of these at this hour? Ooh, wait! I bet Marzipan's teaching her kindergarten class down at the Montesodium school! Those kids eat crayons like they were paste!

''{Cut to Marzipan in the Classroom; the blackboard reads "SOY IS ALSO MURDER"}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{finishing a monologue}'' ...so that way, you always feel guilty!

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Goody Marzipan. Can I borrow some crayons? I broke my Skin Flesh!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looks aghast, then angry}'' Shhh! Strong Bad, not in front of the class!

''{Cut to a view of the class, which consists of Homsar, Strong Mad and Homestar Runner wearing yellow shirts. Homsar has a stack of blocks on his desk that reads "TURD".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Teach-orr! I have go bafroom!

''{Cut back to Marzipan and Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why can't I say "Skin Flesh" in front of the—uh, ''children?''

'''MARZIPAN:''' First of all, we don't call them children. They're "life blossoms"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Life blossoms?! Marzipan, what kind of cult are you running here?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, a pretty standard one. ''{cut to a closeup of Marzipan}'' Anyway, we don't use the term "Skin Flesh". The color you're looking for is "Dermal Discoveries".

''{A pink roll loosely resembling a crayon with the words "Dermal Discoveries" appears. Some notes played on a acoustic guitar are heard. Cut to a view from behind Marzipan, facing Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's that scramble?! What about Lipstick Red?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, no, no. Too gender-specific. We use "Crimson Suggestion".

''{A red roll with the words "Crimson Suggestion" appears. More acoustic notes play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, how 'bout Hairspray Blond?

'''MARZIPAN:''' "Vague Pigmentation"!

''{A yellow roll with the words "Vague Pigmentation" appears. Acoustic notes are heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leather Black?

'''MARZIPAN:''' We just call that "Blue".

''{A black roll with the word "Blue" appears. More acoustic notes are heard. Homestar Runner moves into view.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Teacherman, ''{cut to face Homestar Runner}'' are we just gonna talk about crowns all day?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ta'-'bou'-wha'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crowns! You know! For coloring! A box of crowns!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{chuckling}'' You mean, crayons? Cray-ons?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks angry}'' Oh, I don't need this. I'm going to the liberry! To read me some pie-pie comics!

''{Return to view of Marzipan and Strong Bad from the front.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What kind of grades does Homestar get?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, roots and grass, mostly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Roots and grass? What're those, like, D's? D minusesses?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, they're F's.

''{Cut back to the last page of the coloring book.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, boys. Prepare to make some dermal discoveries!

''{Strong Bad begins to draw with the Dermal Discoveries "crayon." Nothing happens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the— what's wrong with this stupid crown—on?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan in front of the table.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, didn't I tell you? Our crayons don't actually color so that no one life blossom shines brighter than any other. That way, they're ''all'' special!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I never had any doubts that all your students were ''{uses hand quotes}'' "special", Marzipan.

''{Cut to close up on Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And they're made from 100% pressed bunson, so they double as a healthy snack! Mmm! ''{eats a "Crimson Suggestion" and leaves.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the table. A bundle of Marzipan's "crayons" appears in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing, his words appear under the bundle of "crayons."}'' Pressed bunson, you know it's pressed bunson. Preeeeow!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down as Larry sings the last word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...the crap is pressed bunson?

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Homestar reportcardnew.png|thumb|170px|They're life blossoms!]]
*Click on "Dear awesome" after Strong Bad mentions "Red Iculous" to see a "Dear Awesome" colored crayon.
*Likewise, click on "some crayon" and see a "Some Crayon" colored crayon.
*Click on "L.U.R.N." on Homestar's shirt when he walks up to Marzipan to see the [[:Image:LURN logo corrected.png|logo]] for [[L.U.R.N.]], or "Life-Blossoms Undergoing Re-programming Naturally."
*Click on the word Murder on the chalkboard after Strong Bad asks about Homestar's grades to see his report card.
*At the end, click on the [[Limozeen Coloring Book]] to see the whole thing (it comes up in a new window). It has three extra pages and two colors not featured in the email. You can color it with the included crayons, or [[Printables|print it out]].

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Laser Lemon|device next to The Cheat]] is an [[Wikipedia:Oscilloscope|oscilloscope]].
*"Special" is often used as a euphemism to refer to developmentally challenged people.
*On the page of the Limozeen coloring book where Larry is crossed out to reveal Strong Bad serenading the "of age" groupies, they are wearing Canadian flag tops. At the time this email was released, Canada's [[Wikipedia:Ages of consent in North America#Canada|age of consent]] was 14.

===Trivia===
*The crayons in the Easter egg contain two colors not featured in the email: "Roadie [[Puking|Puke]] Green" and "Sweet Boots Brown".
*This is the first time we see Marzipan in Strong Bad's house, as well as the first time we actually hear her laugh.
*The coloring book Easter egg originally did not have an "Undo" button to go back a step when coloring, so if you made a mistake well into your drawing, you'd have to erase it all. It was added later.
*In the drawing of the coloring book where Larry is serenading the "of-age" ladies, he is holding a G chord on the guitar.
*This is the first Email in over a month to include the standard text for The Paper. In [[cliffhangers]] and [[retirement|retirement A]], it told viewers to watch the next email and in [[retirement|retirement B]] it was unclickable and admitted to liking hushpuppies. It was not seen at all in [[Lappynapped!]], released in between cliffhangers and retirement.

===Remarks===
*The Lappy's "toe" (which was removed in [[cliffhangers]] and was missing in [[retirement]]) is back.
*The cards above the chalkboard read "4, I3, (, I>, 3, I=, 6, #, 1" which are [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] representations of the letters A through I.
*The Cheat wears welding goggles while using a soldering iron, which arcs with the lemons when he uses it. However, soldering irons do not produce any kind of arcing or bright light when used (properly). They simply create heat.
*This is the first/closest The Cheat has gotten to saying a word in English ("Okay") outside of his [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons, although some of his [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|The Cheat noises]] have strongly suggested English phrases in the past.
*Both [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]] and [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] are wearing blue shirts with white stars, in the style of Homestar's shirt.
*If you download the Flash file for the Limozeen coloring book Easter egg directly to your computer, it will ask you if you want to print a page when you open it.
*Each member of Limozeen seems to change appearance (hairstyle, instrument) in most of the pictures in the coloring book, making it hard to distinguish them from one another.
*Despite claims to the contrary in the coloring book, Limozeen could not have had a "webmaster" in 1989. The [[Wikipedia:World Wide Web|world's first web browser]] was not written until 1990.
*"Crown" and "crayon" are pronounced the same in the accents of many regions in the southeastern United States.
*Strong Bad drew fire on the first page in orange, but the Limozeen coloring book doesn't come with an orange crayon. He also drew an orange basketball on the page with Gary's air guitar.
*While Strong Bad's claim that "Those kids [[Eating Non-Food Items|eat]] crayons like they were paste!" is implied as an insult, it is negated with the revelation that Marzipan's crayons are, in fact, edible.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad picks up the PA phone, the text insertion character on the Lappy's screen disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was first released, "blossom" was misspelled as "blossum" in the [[:Image:LURN logo.png|T-shirt]] and [[:Image:Homestar reportcard.png|report card]] Easter eggs, and "animals" was misspelled as "animas". These have since been fixed.
*The coloring book originally misnamed several of the crayons in comparison to their email counterparts. Groupie Lipstick Red was incorrectly named "Rockin' Red" while Tight Shiny Purple was named "Ballad Purple". This has since been fixed.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad uses the same [[disconnected telephone]] to speak to The Cheat over the intercom that he used in [[replacement]].
*The scribble above The Cheat's head also appeared in [[huttah!]]
*Strong Bad has previously defaced and satirized picture books in [[kids' book]] and [[That Time of Year]].
*The "'air' guitar" image is identical to an image of Gary in the Limozeen laser show in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*When Strong Bad is coloring the Limozeen picture, the music is the same as the music that plays while he is drawing [[Trogdor]] in [[dragon]].
*Homestar calling Marzipan "Teacherman" is an example of him [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"|pronouncing "man" as "m'n"]] and also an instance of [[gender confusion]].
*This is another appearance of [[Preeeeow]], the [[onomatopoeia]] describing The Paper's sound effect.
*"TURD" is a word for [[whatsit]].
*The fact that Strong Bad drew The Cheat peeking out from behind [[Limozeen]]'s grill is a reference to [[Where's The Cheat?]], in which it is revealed that The Cheat lives in [[The King of Town's Grill]].
*The cards above the chalkboard use the same [[font]] as the [[Compy 386]] (Commodore 64).
*Bubs uses a [[Bubs's Keytar|keytar]] in [[cheatday]].
*Strong Bad walking in the classroom as Marzipan is finishing her lecture is another instance of [[interrupted conversations]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Crayola|Crayola]] is a well known company that makes art supplies such as [[Wikipedia:Crayon|crayons]].
**"Laser Lemon" and "Blizzard Blue" are the names of actual [[Wikipedia:List of Crayola crayon colors|Crayola colors]].
**"Skin Flesh" is also a possible reference to when Crayola renamed their color "Flesh" to "Peach" in 1962, partially to avoid racial discrimination.
*The lyrics "Grab a box of sixty-four with a sharpener built right in" from "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" refers to a standard Crayola 64-crayon box. These boxes usually have a plastic crayon sharpener built into the back.
*On the air guitar page, Strong Bad has "colored" a basketball jersey similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles Lakers|Los Angeles Lakers]] onto Gary.
**On the same page of the coloring book, the basketball player on the right very much resembles [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]].
*The band member wearing a bear mask is a reference to musician [[Wikipedia:John Mayer|John Mayer]] who sometimes dresses in a bear costume in order to meet and talk with fans before concerts without the fans realizing who he is.
*"Montesodium" is a [[portmanteau]] of the words "Montessori" and "Monosodium".
**[[Wikipedia:Montessori method|Montessori Schools]] are a very progressive and non-traditional schooling system used in many private schools throughout the world. It focuses on allowing children to learn at their own pace and doing away with perceived forms of competition like grading.
*The page Strong Bad tries to color says "Larry is screamin' like a demon..."; he is also shown singing with his tongue hanging out. [[Wikipedia:Gene Simmons|Gene Simmons]] of the rock band [[KISS]] is well-known for his extraordinarily long tongue, and is also known as "The Demon".
*Homestar leaving to go read "[[pie]] pie comics" may mean he wants to read [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] comics.
*The coloring book makes mention of staying at the [[Wikipedia:Ramada|Ramada]], a well-known hotel chain.
*It's Grilla Time is a reference to "It's Miller Time", which is a famous slogan of [[wikipedia:Miller Brewing|Miller Brewing Company]]. It's also why they're holding [[Cold One|Cold Ones]] at the time.
*The subtitle on the Limozeen book, "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada", is written in the [[Fonts#M|font]] created and used by British heavy metal band [[wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]].

===Fast Forward===
*Another Limozeen coloring book appears in [[Baddest of the Bands]], and is used to create [[Baddest of the Bands Teen Girl Squad Meets Limozeen|that episode's Teen Girl Squad comic]].
*Homestar calls a crayon a "crown" again in [[Hremail 62]]
*LURN made another appearance in [[Career Day]].

==DVD Version==
*The Limozeen Coloring Book Easter egg has been disabled.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]] and [[Larry Palaroncini]])

'''LARRY:''' What is up, you guys!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no!

'''LARRY:''' I'm gonna have to sit way back here 'cause I'm so loud!

'''MIKE:''' That's right! We are joined by Larry Palaroncini.

'''LARRY:''' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' Uh... Larry, tell us about, um, these crayons.

'''LARRY:''' Oh, they look nice!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yes...

'''LARRY:''' Sometimes, you have to use crayons when you're out of lipstick!

''{They both laugh}''

'''LARRY:''' We'll melt crayons down and coat our lips with wax!

'''MIKE:''' That sounds painful...

'''LARRY:''' It is! Then girls will ''not'' kiss you!

'''MIKE:''' Hardly seems worth the trouble.

'''LARRY:''' It does!

''{Pause as Strong Bad clears the screen and types "Welter"}''

'''LARRY:''' It's gonna be hard to keep this up!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah. It doesn't even hardly seem like you're part of the group; you're about 15 feet away from us—

'''LARRY:''' ''{laughing}'' I gotta stay over here!

'''MIKE:''' Can you talk in a regular volume, please?

'''LARRY:''' ''What?!''

'''MIKE:''' Just come up close and talk in a regular volume.

'''LARRY:''' I don't think I'll sound like myself!

'''MIKE:''' Larry! Inside voice! ''Inside'' voice!

'''LARRY:''' But I like— everybody, hairspray blond! Hairspray! Hairsp— We get everybody chanting!

'''MIKE and RYAN:''' ''{chanting}'' Hairspray! Hairspray! Hairspray!

''{Larry imitates a bass guitar. Pause as the coloring book opens up and the email's Larry sings, "Grab a box of 64, with a sharpener built right in..."}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing; rising in pitch}'' Built right IN!!

'''MIKE:''' Ah, you're doing a little backing vocals there.

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing; almost gibberish}'' Let the party begin!

'''MIKE:''' So our—

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Colori-i-i-i-in'!

'''MIKE:''' Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and wait—

''{Larry imitates rock guitars and screams like a demon, as the coloring book continues to the yet-to-be-colored page which has the text, "Larry is screamin' like a demon. And the other two are playing guitars."}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{as Strong Bad attempts to color Larry's face with a Skin Flesh crayon}'' So, are you Palaroncini boys really related, or is it like the Ramones or something?

'''LARRY:''' ''{uncertain}'' I... I am not sure!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' You all live in the same woman's basement, right?

'''LARRY:''' That's true! We think she's our mom!

'''MIKE:''' Cool.

'''LARRY:''' She's really supportive!

''{Pause as Strong Bad walks in on Marzipan's class}''

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever been to Marzipan's Montesodium school?

'''LARRY:''' I'm gonna go ahead and stop!

'''MIKE:''' Alright, who's— who's next? Who's gonna replace you?

'''MATT:''' What, guys? Oh, I was in the can, on the can!

'''RYAN:''' Both?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, both. So, is Marzipan teaching the kids the leetspeak alphabet up there?

'''MATT:''' Apparently.

'''MIKE:''' How do you think soy is murder?

'''MATT:''' Well, you know, the soy bean. Consider the bean.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' That quite was a lot.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so... that guy, that screaming guy...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah...

'''MATT:''' He didn't let us talk much about those pictures, which were taken with some of our buddies from Y-O-U.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. We made that Limozeen coloring book for the never-made-Limozeen webpage.

'''MATT:''' About two years ago.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, a long time ago. So we had that coloring book. It's fantastic work—

'''MATT:''' Loved it!

'''MIKE:''' —by Jonathan Howe.

''{Pause as Strong Bad tries to correct Homestar's pronunciation of "crayons"}''

'''MATT:''' So I remember kids calling crayons "crowns". Remember that, guys?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah...

'''MATT:''' I hated those kids. Arthur gets what he spills.

'''MIKE:''' Pasghetti— pasghetti, violet, pellow... I think I may have said "pellow".

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''RYAN:''' Blackberries.

'''MATT:''' Peppel, what about peppel?

'''MIKE:''' Deepest, darkest green and...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So that packaging on that thing looks like totally like something from Whole Foods... Like you go to Whole Foods and they're like, y'know, the health and beauty department, that would be just like some sort of smudge stick for your face.

'''MATT:''' Chalky, burlap-y, smudge...

'''MIKE:''' This is chalky, burlap-y smudge for...

'''RYAN:''' Twenty dollars.

''{Larry returns, making various noises over the email's Larry's dialog}''

'''MIKE:''' Leave right now!

'''LARRY:''' Okay.

===Fun Facts===
*[[The Ramones]] were an American rock band regarded as the first punk rock group. The band members all adopted [[Wikipedia:Stage name|stage names]], with the last name always being "Ramone", even though none of them were actually related.
*"Arthur Gets What He Spills" is a kid's book by [[Wikipedia:Louise Armstrong|Louise Armstrong]].
*"Whole Foods" refers to [[Wikipedia:Whole Foods Market|Whole Foods Market]], a food retailer of "natural" and organic products.
*The word "Peppel" would later be used in [[8-Bit Is Enough]] as a mispronunciation of "People", as heard by the opening announcer of this game.

== XHTML Validation being pushed by non-staff ==

If I recall correctly, Defender1031 isn't staff, and shouldn't be editing other people's signatures to conform to the validation of the Wiki's XHTML DTD, (nor was Homestar-Winner, etc. back before I knew about it as they weren't staff either.) However, what does the staff feel about this issue, as I just wanted to ask the question, "Should non-staff go about changing '''''other user''''' signatures?" I'm not trying to be rude or anything, rather, getting the question off my chest, seeing as Staff are the only ones really allowed to edit others' signatures, even though that reverting would go against the HRWiki rules, but a non-staff member editing another user's page (of any kind) is also against said rules, thus creating a rule paradox, if you will. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 04:55, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
:There's no rule that says that non-admins can't fix the code in other people's signatures. There [[HRWiki:User space#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space|IS a rule]] that says "If you must [edit someone else's user space], it should be for a compelling reason, for example to correct linking errors that might confuse readers or to provide technical assistance." Validation, especially when a signature is actively breaking pages, falls under the latter category. Note also that the [[HRWiki:Validation committee|Validation Committee]] was created mostly as a response to people using incorrect code in their sigs. (The most telling is the section on font tags: "There are many <nowiki>text</nowiki> tags hanging out here and there. '''Many people are using them in their sigs.''' Since font tags are allowed in XHTML 1.0 Transitional, it's okay if people want to continue using them, but they should make sure to enclose the color declaration in quotation marks to keep things valid. However, '''we should try to switch everyone''' to <nowiki>text</nowiki>. This method is much more forward compatible.") Also, if you are somehow under the impression that I have no communication with the admins beyond that which is visible to you on the wiki, you are mistaken.

Base64 text can be converted from an image to text and back into an image [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1124149/embedding-background-image-data-into-css-as-base64-good-or-bad-practice via CSS]. Is it still valid to count such images as personal images even though they are text data? As the base64 text does not require as much data to be sent and received as an image does. (Browser processes the information from the text data, rather than download the image data.) {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 04:16, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, text-based base 64 encoding is MORE data per the same image than actual image data. Each byte of base-64 data holds 1/4 of the possible values that a byte of image data can hold (accounting for 6 bits as opposed to 8), hence for every 4 bytes of image data, there are 5 characters of base-64 data, meaning, more work all around. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:31, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
::I meant sent and received in terms of '''network''' bandwidth, not processing. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 10:06, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
:::Yes I know exactly what you meant, and you are still wrong. For every 4 bytes of image data transferred over the network, base-64 transfers 5 bytes. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:38, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

== Creating Accounts is No Longer an Option? ==

::The reason the method of creating accounts was changed was because up until the words were removed from next to "log in", we were having a lot of trouble with spambots creating accounts. We prefer that all of our accounts belong to people (with slight exceptions for the five bots that are run by admins). So they changed the method to ensure that a person was creating the account. Given that no spambots have created an account since then, the new method appears to be doing its job. And granted, it looks like there have been four total edits that were made by users who joined the wiki this way, and three of those four were to the sandbox. So yes, that is an unfortunate setback. However, just like anything else, there is no perfect way to handle the situation. In general, I prefer the old method of creating accounts, but I also like it when there aren't any spambots creating accounts every couple of hours. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:14, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

:So wait. Are you saying that there are no more great users on the wiki? . . . and that Broncotroll and TKWSN aren't great? They seem worthy of adminship to me . . If they aren't admins already. On a completely unrelated note, I think that I have been spending WAY too much time on the wiki: I am in college, and for one of my online discussion posts, one of my classmates pointed out that I was starting to sound like Strong Bad. And on a RELATED note: I do not like the visual word varification picture things. Sometimes you can hardly recognize the letters, and when you can they are often the letters that have identical capital and lower-case forms (I.E.: V, C, X, S, O, W, Z).

Maybe if you contact an admin, (I recommend [[It's dot com]] as he is the main developer/the only active admin these days) and give them your username they could bypass the spambot security and set up your account. Big thanks for the compliment! I'm a very active but a relatively new user (most sysops joined around 2005 but I joined in 2011), I don't think I could handle being a sysop at this point but I've been learning the features pretty quickly. I was on long enough though to confirm that most of the ''eminent'' users have left, there are still some great users though.

== Explaining the change of a long-standing point... ==

My reasons for removal of the lighter remark? As follows. 
1. Go try it. Seriously. Find a wooden table and hold a lighter to its surface. If you manage to do more than blacken it, I'll give you a hundred bucks. <nowiki>**</nowiki>Discount will not be honored!<nowiki>**</nowiki> Plain wood won't light without kindling, it's simple fact. (Yes, I know there are ways to do it, but they're uncommon, and...) 
2. Consider what would happen if the table ''did'' go up in flames, as Gron Sad's dragon does. Stro' Bro would have destroyed a piece of furniture which is clearly quite useful to the household. While we can't be sure of which work surface it is, brotha Graw Mad has no qualms with using it, and neither does Coach Zed. My point here is that SB is not likely to destroy the table ''unless it is explicitly Strong Sad's only'', and the scrolling along the screen seems to suggest that all four characters are at one table. (Albeit an admittedly long one.) 
3. I am partially removing this on principle; I really think that some other fine wiki member would have removed it already, because of its factual inaccuracy, if not for the fact that it was the article's only link to the Beamer lighter. I have placed a link for this at its mention in the transcript. 
Aneh qvestions?--{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 06:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
:Reason 2's kind of irrelevant. The fun fact had nothing to do with it being Strong Sad's table or not. It's not as though he was trying to destroy it. And I don't think the lighter link was the only reason the fact stayed. As you mentioned, holding a lighter to a table would surely blacken it, if not set it on fire. But the lighter doesn't seem to affect the table here at all. So, I think it's worth mentioning, still, if not with the words "catch on fire". (To be explicit, I agree that the wording as was, about the table not catching fire, was not ideal.) -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 07:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

== Strong Mad ==

Isn't Strong Mads "dagron" a reference to the creatures in Pirates of Dark Water? [[User:85.228.165.63|85.228.165.63]] 21:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
:Doubt it. They're likely just both using the same play on "dragon", unrelatedly. (I miss that show.) -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 21:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I had to pay the doctor just to have this email removed. A-so smooth.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: being nice</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I know you think being mean is fun, but I'm trying to teach 
my kids that that isn't right. Can you say something about 
being nice and point out why being mean isn't always the 
best choice. Thanks! 
-Nice Dad</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You're coming to ''me'' for nice lessons? You expect ''me'' to tell your wussy kids that being mean isn't the best choice? I wonder what other gems are in your sent mail outbox.

''{Strong Bad types in "other_gems.exe", bringing up another email, accompanied by a ding.}''

''{Strong Bad picks up a drawing of a bloody-toothed shark at a laptop with the caption "HUNGRY SHARK EMAiLS" when he says "thought of you."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And there's probably one like...

''{Strong Bad types "more_other_gems.exe" as he says this, bringing up a third email.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: role model</div>
Hey 42 year-old online game playing man-child that still lives with his ex-wife's parents, 
It's me, Nice Dad! The boys need a lesson about 
responsibility and personal hygiene. Got time to stop by tonight 
between Goblin Keep Sieges? 
-N.D.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad picks up a drawing of a goblin with the caption "GOBLiN KEEP SiEGE" when he says "Goblin Keep Sieges."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The only time I know of when being mean isn't the best choice is when someone nearby is holding a ''really'' tall ice cream cone.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar in the Field. Homestar is licking an ice cream cone that towers above the top of the screen. Strong Bad is smiling. Ice cream truck music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey wow, Homestar. That's a great same-shirt-you-always-wear you have on today.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Strong Bad. Did you want some of my...

''{Strong Bad approaches him and kicks him in the leg, knocking him over. The ice cream cone flies into the air and lands on his face in pieces.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wahahahaha!

''{Homestar starts to lick the ice cream again. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, wait. Being mean is the best choice there too. Look, this is clearly not a job for me Nice Dad (translation: Uncool Dad). When it comes to teaching kids about behavior and choices and various other words from parenting books, there's only one place to look for answers, the Drama Club!

''{Cut to the King of Town in the Classroom. On the chalkboard behind him, a gun labeled "BANG" has been drawn on the right-hand side and a large blob labeled "BRAINS" has been drawn on the left-hand side. The camera "rotates" around him until it faces him straight-on, so it looks like the gun is shooting The King of Town in the head.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Listen up, class. Instead of watching me doze off for the last ten minutes like we usually do, I've got a special treat for you all today. The drama club is going to perform a state-required skit about being nice, so we can avoid losing our accreditation! Now, give it up... for Coach Z's Nicetown Players!

''{Cut to the side of the room. The lights dim as Coach Z, Marzipan, and Strong Mad enter. They get into various still poses and smile. A couple claps are heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You suck.

''{Slow music begins to play. A spotlight goes up on Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, man. What a great pratty. I wonder what kid's house this is.

''{The spotlight goes out, and another one comes up on Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I wonder if he likes me. Will I make the team? I wish my parents would stop fighting.

''{The spotlight goes out, and a third comes up on Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' IS THIS MY CUE?

''{The lights go up. Zoom in on Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Pants Pull-Upper! Nice pulled-up... pants!

''{Camera Pans right to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I shouldn't laugh, but I want to fit in. Good one, Head Male Cheerleader!

''{Zoom out showing all three. Strong Mad runs away, causing the room to shake.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BOO-HOO-HOO-HOO...

''{Close-up of Coach Z and Marzipan. Coach Z leans against the wall, causing Marzipan to lean away from him.}''

'''COACH Z:''' My parents' room is out of town in my car. Wanna go park out?

'''MARZIPAN:''' But what about that poor nerd?

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, who cares about...

''{Wide shot of original stage area. Strong Mad runs in brandishing a baseball bat with spikes on the end. He swings it at Coach Z as Marzipan screams. Just before the bat makes contact with Coach Z's head, they all freeze and the lights dim. After a short pause, Strong Mad starts to tap Coach Z on the head with the bat. He smiles mischievously and laughs quietly, while Coach Z says "Ow." "Stop." "Quit it." Marzipan comes forward to speak.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is why besing mean is not always the best choice.

''{Strong Mad raises the bat. Cut to Coach Z. The lights are back up.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Drap it! ''{A rap beat begins to play.}'' 
Now being mean ain't the greatest choice! 
My name's Coach Z and I—

''{The King of Town appears in front of him and the lights dim.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Aaaand we've run out of time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You suck.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See how lame that was Nice Dad? I'm sure your kids could learn all sorts of crap-kicked-out-of-them lessons from superbly acted dramatizations like that. But don't take it from me, let's hear from our resident parenting expert, Hungry Shark.

''{He holds up the Hungry Shark Emails picture again.}''

'''HUNGRY SHARK:''' Sometimes the taste of blood in the water is just so sweet, makes me wanna... I just gon... ''{voice becomes no longer gravelly}'' uh, I'm gonna eat your kids.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down. Strong Bad moves the picture down so the "HUNGRY SHARK EMAiLS" caption becomes visible.}''

('''Commentary by:''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike why didn't you call this email ''besing mean''?

'''MIKE:''' Besing mean? Well it's a Strong Bad Email, and Strong Bad— says ''being'' mean. Only you say besing mean.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, it's the real way to do it. Strong Bad be's mean.

'''MIKE:''' D—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do you see the difference? I can say being mean, I know what that means.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad doesn't be mean to me.

'''MIKE:''' He ''be's'' mean?

'''HOMESTAR:''' He be's me's.

'''MIKE:''' Wait, bees?

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{laughs}'' Well—

'''MIKE:''' Are bees involved?

'''HOMESTAR:''' It's as stinging as a bee.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He ''has'' used— He HAS used bees. Prepeviosly.

'''MIKE:''' Hot bees?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hot bees.

''{pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' So, why would you ask Strong Bad be's nice, you know?

'''MIKE:''' It teaches kids to be's nice?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's a poor role model. Wu- Wuubuger. Wuggha- WUUBUGER.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughes}'' Havin' some problem, with the wor—

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, I got it now. Just had it in close to the mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh okay ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Umm... ''{pause}'' You know. Why does that guy live with his ex-wife's parents?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' What kind of weird arrangment is ''that'' like?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' His ex-wife probably left him for... stunt man?

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''Oooh''!

'''MIKE:''' Or a—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Like Crack Stuntman?

'''MIKE:''' Rodeo clown?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' And the parent-in-laws probably felt sorry for him because—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oooh, look at all of those flavors! I had, um, Green Mint.

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yellow Sun.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Purple... Grapes.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh-huh.

'''HOMESTAR:''' And the other color, which we didn't get a chance to look at.

'''MIKE:''' So grape, artificially grape, artificial grape flavor, are—

'''HOMESTAR:''' I'd had some grape gaterwag.

'''MIKE:''' Doesn't taste like grapes.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, it tastes like melted grape-flavored popsicles.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughes}'' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Which doesn't taste like grapes either. OOH! Look at that!

'''MIKE:''' Look at that 3-D rotation.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That almost looks like cinema''tic''!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do you think it's quite cinematic?

'''MIKE:''' What is happening to the King of Town here?

'''HOMESTAR:''' It looks like he's getting the brain blow.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm.

'''HOMESTAR:''' The ol' Brainblow city. ''{pause}'' Yay! ''{Claps hands}'' Yay!

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever seen these guys before?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I have. One time they put this one on called "Use the Band-Aid".

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' The scrape— The scrapinator.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' There was some nice spotlights in that classroom.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's kinda white already for the— these spot lights, suprising.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{kicking}'' I'm gonna kick this door here, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Mad doesn't even have no pants on. He wears a wresling gear. How come he doesn't have that chinstrap that wrestlers use?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That has the headphones on it.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think Strong Mad, I think it would be impossible to construct a headgear for Strong Mad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' We oughta try it.

'''MIKE:''' He doesn't have ears to cover up.

'''HOMESTAR:''' See, look, Marzipan knows what's up! That-a girl Marzipan! Give her the juice!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Aw, man, this is the worst part! In the band-aid one, he just went like "band-aid, all the time, laughing man with band-aid brand."

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' All right.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah. It was all a big advertisement for ''{higher voice}'' band-aid bran.

'''MIKE:''' Bandages, not band-aid.

'''HOMESTAR:''' It's called bandages, more—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''BOTH:''' More Bandages.

'''HOMESTAR:''' 'Cause I got more bandages than you.

'''MIKE:''' Are you asleep again right now?

'''HOMESTAR:''' What WHAT?

'''MIKE:''' Are you asleep again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Not anymore. ''{now scared}'' I'm gonna have nightmares about that shark. ''{pause}'' ''{more scared}'' Ah blah blah blah...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

===Fun Facts===
*"Hot bees" is a reference to [[the process]].
*Homestar mentions [[Crack Stuntman]] and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|Brainblow City]].
*Homestar's line about "more bandages than you" is a reference to [[nightlife]], as is Mike's inquiring reply as to whether Homestar is asleep.

== "XXXX, Homestar!" ==

Hmm... I'm almost certain that Strong Bad says "Out of the way, Homestar!" --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:Why wouldn't it be "Out of the way, Homestar?" I have changed the transcript to say that. [[User:Kilroy|—''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]'']] 11:35, 28 Nov 2004 (MST)
::Well, I did change it, but it got changed back. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:"Almost certain"? I'm absoultely positive Strong Bad says "I'm the winner, Homestar!"--[[User:Tiggera|The one who changed it back]]
::Why would it be "I'm the winner"? In context, "Out of the way" sounds much more likely. And you can clearly here the "ay" sound in the lastest word. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:::To Mee, it sounds more like "Get away, Homestar!" {{User:Mee/sig}}

== "Cheezit" ==

Strong Bad's line as he and the others leave with the radish is almost certainly "Now let's cheezit.", a reference to the old-timey phrase "Cheezit! The Cops!" uttered by gangsters and such in the 20's and 30's. "Now let's cheat it." is barely grammatical.

:I agree! For a second I thought he maybe said "Now let's cheat-eth.", but "Now let's cheezit." is better. (Cheezit, the fets!) [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 09:48, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::It's "cheat it." Grab an mp3, or take a close listen with a pair of headphones in a quiet room. Ignore the "boooo"s. Let me explain why "cheat it" makes sense. In the bad old days of H*R, Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat were the bad guys. The cheaters. The ones who cheat. They are the ones who cheat all types of contests, whether it be Strongest Man or Reddest Raddish. Gah, I hate footnotes. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:13, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::I still think it's "cheezit" or [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=cheese%20it "cheese it."] "Cheese it" means to "look out" or "get away fast." {{User:Trogga/sig}}

::I was thinking Cheezit could be a reference to Futurama, as that is one of Bender's catchphrases. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 08:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

*"Cheat it" is barely grammatical? It's perfectly grammatical. E.g. "to cheat death"; "You cheated what?"; "Death"; "You cheated death?"; "Yes, I ''cheat it'' every now and then."
*I will relent that "cheese it" is a phrase in the [http://m-w.com/ M-W dictionary]. ''However'', "to cheese" means "to put an end to something; to stop", and "cheese it" is "used in the imperative as a warning of danger." From the context, is Strong Bad more likely to be saying "Now let's put an end to it", "Now let's hurry up and go, the cops are coming", or "Now let's rip it off"? If you haven't caught my stance yet, I think Strong Bad is saying that they are ripping [the contest, the radish] off.
*Upon further consideration, this has the same problem as "I hate your shoes"/"I think you're cute" ([[disconnected]]). Think-cute and cheat-it have hard sounds; Hate-shoes and cheese-it have soft sounds. I can right away hear the hard sounds in both, but I can hear and understand perfectly why people are interpreting soft sounds. In my opinion, hard sounds rule. Flash just distorts them.
—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Headsets will clarify it. The line is for sure CHEAT IT. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
yup, i think it's cheat it. [[venomous...underlings.]]

I would like to reopen this discussion. I came across [http://qwantz.com/archive/000648.html this] use of the phrase "cheese it", and that prompted me to look it up in the [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cheese+it Urban Dictionary]. The first definition there is ''exactly'' what Strong Bad and gang are doing. Furthermore, when I subject the audio sample to scrutiny (isolating the clip, amplifying it, speeding it up, slowing it down, listening to it over and over), I think there is a /z/ sound there, not a /t/. Finally, BazookaJoe's assertion that "cheat it" is grammatical is shaky at best: If we assume it's "cheat it", then the only possible antecedant to "it" is "vegetable", which makes no sense. To ''make'' it make sense, we're forced to conclude he's actually talking about the contest. That seems like an unnecessary stretch to me given that "cheese it" is an actual slang phrase that fits the context 100%. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:34, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
:Oh. Well, I hear "cheat it". I think that might be a "t" in there. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

If Strong Bad said cheat it, that wouldn't make any sense. If you say that you are going to cheat something it means you will try to cheat, but it's not grammatically correct. If he said cheezit, that would make sense because he's running away. maybe he said cheat it or cheezit. I'll email the Brothers Chaps and see (wasd98)

So, this has been around in its current state for a long time, but I don't really think there should be so much dispute. I hear "cheese it" pretty clearly, and the context, "Now let's run away" makes the meaning pretty unambiguous. Can I remove the footnote? Are there still those who think it's "cheat it"? (see also Dot Com's note a couple lines above). -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.33|132.183.138.33]] 23:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
:I heat the T quite audibly and absolutely no Z sound. I can only conclude that "cheat it" is a play on "cheese it" and "the cheat". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:34, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
::I wanna reopen this dispute. After playing around for the longest time with the Audio of the toon (singling out some things), I can undeniably conclude that the line is "Cheese it".

:::Unless the "boos" and the bird are stored completely separately from the dialogue, I doubt that that is even possible. I think it's "cheat it", but I don't know for certain either way. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:39, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

== Closed STUFF ==

These were on the [[STUFF]] page and declined. If you wish to contest these, leave a note here, but don't allow it to be confused with any of the original votes.

=== Back Buttons ===
The reason that this toon does not have a "Back" button is most likely because this cartoon appeared on the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu|Telebision Toons Menu]], which integrated the cartoons into the menu itself.
*'''Decline''' ...unless you can find that this is the ONLY toon that does not have a "Back" button, or that this is the ONLY toon that doesn't have the "Back" button for this specific reason. Otherwise, this ought to go on the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu|Telebision Toons Menu]] page and not on the specific toon pages. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 11:51, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Dreamail doesn't have a back button either. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]
**'''Comment.''' (posted after fun fact was declined) But "dreammail" wasn't embedded into the Telebision Toons Menu, was it? --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 23:21, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Why not? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:15, 13 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Paper Doll Style (Declined) ===

This is the only cartoon in which TBC use the "paper doll cut-out" visual style. Another older toon to have a unique visual style is In Search Of The Yello Dello.

*'''Decline.''' Not only is this extremely obvious, but In Search Of The Yello Dello isn't exactly a unique visual style. The King Of Town DVD uses almost exactly the same style. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:39, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)
** Well, no, it doesn't, but the Fun Fact is still useless. ('''Decline''') --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:14, 16 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' It's like saying that the puppet time shorts use puppets or that Teen Girl Squad is a comic book set to music and spoken words.
**'''Second.''' {{User:Rainer/sig}}
*'''Revise and Accept''' It may be obvious that THIS 'toon is done in paper-doll-cutout style, but it's not obvious that it's the ONLY 'toon of its kind, especially to a newcomer.
**'''Second''' -- cut out the bit about Yello Dello and you've got a good bit of trivia. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:17, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral.''' It's an interesting idea, but I don't know if it needs to be a fun fact. But then again, where else would it go? →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:42, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Does the paper doll style mimic an old cartoon show or something? It seems to me, what with the laugh track and the bizarre style, that the Brothers Chaps are paying homage to something specific. Anyway, if they are, it might be an interesting fact.

=== Facefaults ===
{{stufffact|The way Homestar and Pom Pom fall over after Marzipan reveals the real reddest radish is similar to a popular sight gag from Japanese animation called a facefault. When a character in a comedy series experiences great surprise, frustration or annoyance, they will often fall over on their faces as a sign of just how stupified they are.}}

== Predating? But that's not- ==

Within the Fun Facts sections, it says that this is the first time Strong Bad says "Holy Crap", as it predates "A Jumping Jack Contest"...on the AJJC page, it says that was a 1999 cartoon, while this one (according to the wiki) was made in 2000. Which leads me to this question:Did "The Reddist Radish" come before or '''''after''''' A Jumping Jack Contest? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:French Homestar.png|thumb|100px|"Let us away to my romantic chateau in the Fantastic mountains!"]]
While [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] takes place in and around [[Free Country, USA]], there are a sizable number of cultural references to the '''[[Wikipedia:Culture of France|French]]'''.
== Appearances ==

*The [[Heavy Lourde]] — In French, "lourde" means "heavy", making the name [[Redundancy|redundant]].
*[[Hairstyle Runner]] — The game is made in [[Prance]].
*Email [[halloweener]] — [[Strong Bad]] says "You'll be the belle of the ball", and [[Homestar Runner]] replies, "I'm a belle". Belle means, in French, "beauty" or "a beauty", but in the feminine form.
*Email [[3 Wishes]] — At the end of the email, Strong Bad says that the horns look like croissants. At the very end, he says, "Croissants," in a French accent.
*Email [[action figure]] — While describing the action figure's "Chinese throwing croissant" action, he pronounces "croissants" in a heavy French accent.
*Email [[cheat talk]] — In the Easter egg for the The Cheat language LP, the LP has the French flag displayed on it.
*Email [[unused emails]] — When he sees where the email came from, which is "Aurora, Illinois", Strong Bad pronounces "Illinois" in a French accent (as "Illi-nwah").
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]] — [[Marzipan]] says "Bonjour... Je m'appelle" meaning "Hello... My name is" (although she mixes her languages by including "amigos" in her greeting. "Amigos" is [[Spanish]] for "friends").
*[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] — In the song [[i think i have a chance with this guy]], [[What's Her Face]] hopes she goes to France with this guy.
*Email [[colonization]] — One of the subs Strong Bad eats while traveling to [[Strong Badia]] is titled "The Dijon [[Chicken]]". [[Wikipedia:Dijon|Dijon]] is a city in eastern France, and the Dijon Chicken may refer to the [[Wikipedia:Dijon Mustard|mustard]] named after the town.
*Email [[origins]] — The name of the emailer's town, Eau Claire, means "Clear Water" in French. Strong Bad mispronounces "Eau".
*[[Parsnips A-Plenty]] — The way [[The Homestar Runner]] pronounces "depot" is the French pronunciation.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 2]] — The word "Le" in the "Le Girl" magazine means "the" in French, but in the masculine form. The feminine form, which would correspond to "girl", is "La".
*Email [[dreamail]] — The official French abbreviation for Monsieur is "M.", but it is misspelled as "Mssr." in the "French Countryside" dream e-mail. This may be based on the abbreviation "Messrs." or "Mssrs.", standing for Messieurs, the plural of Monsieur. The spelling also resembles the way French actually pronounce "Monsieur", which Strong Bad imitates.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — French Homestar talks with a heavy French accent and acts very refined. He has a black Donald Trump style comb-over or toupee.
*Email [[highschool]] — Patrique is a French spelling of Patrick.
*Email [[narrator]] — Some smelly French studio makes the movie "Whatsit All About," which is a four hour film with no dialogue and no plot.
*Email [[senior prom]] — [[Strong Sad]] says [[Coach Z]] is supposed to be their chaperone (with a heavy French accent).
*[[Weclome Back]] — Marzipan saying "Toot sweet" is a play on the French phrase "tout de suite" which translates to "immediately" or "at once".
*Email [[the chair]] — Strong Bad's ill-fated chair is called [[Le Restige]].
*Email [[your funeral]] — Strong Sad says that he was about to perform his "chap au fan". He says this with a French accent.
*[[Drive-Thru]] — Strong Bad orders another bottle of Château Prétende, a mistranslation of "Pretend Manor" and a play on classic French wines.
*[[Date Nite]] — [[The Cheat]] and Marzipan eat at [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (Place)|Marshmallow's l'est Stand]].
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]] — [[Cheerleader]] is killed by a French [[toilet]]. While killing her, it says "Eau de toilette!"
*[[The Limozeen Advantage]] — Thinking that Advantage is from the French Nebula instead of Jersey, [[Larry Palaroncini]] repeatedly pronounces the band's name with a French accent.
*Email [[yes, wrestling]] — Strong Sad's pronunciation of "bring it on" seems to again invoke his French accent.
*[[Trogday 08]] — Strong Bad uses a faux French accent to sing the final chorus of the [[The S is for Sucks]] song.
*Email [[fan club]] — Strong Sad and Homestar say "[[wikipedia:Twizzlers|Twizzlérs]]" with a French pronunciation.
*[[FAQ]] — When asked if Level 27 of Trogdor was intentionally unbeatable, TBC replied "non."
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — Strong Bad claims a French guy told him to beat up Homestar.
*[[SBCG4AP Dev Blog#Payable Demo!|SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] — In the "[[SBCG4AP Tech Demo|Playable Demo]]", an Easter egg adds a mustache on Homestar's face and Strong Bad calls him a "Frenchman".
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — When Strong Bad tricks Strong Sad into taking his temperature in the Homsar Reservation, Strong Sad pronounces "thermometer" with a French accent.
*[[Baddest of the Bands]] — The song "'Hugo Left Me' By The Frollos" refers to [[Wikipedia:Victor Hugo|Victor Hugo]] and two of his novels: ''[[Wikipedia:The Hunchback of Notre Dame|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Les Misérables|Les Misérables]]''.
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] — When learning about the location of his [[Senor Cardgage|long lost father]] in [[Wikipedia:Venice|Venice]], Dangeresque mistakenly states that he is going to France before a jump cut correction stating that he is going to Italy. Additionally, certain events in the movie take place in Paris.
*[[Hremail 62]] — Homestar pronounces the word "Advancement" in his letter with a French accent.
*[[Kick-A-Ball]] — Homestar asks Strong Sad to recite a couplet from the French poet [[Wikipedia:Charles Baudelaire|Charles Baudelaire]].
**Homestar also says "on the contraire" and "au the contrary" when talking to Strong Bad, both referring to the French phrase "au contraire", meaning "on the contrary".
*[[Donut Unto Others]] — Homestar claims he dreamt he was a French long-jump champion.
*In the email [[lunch special]] The Cheat writes Duck a l'Orange instead of sbu. Duck a l'Orange is a Pseudo-French duck dish consisting of roasted duck marinated in an orange sauce.
*In [[Poker Night at the Inventory]], Strong Bad says "Are you talking to moi?", pronouncing it as "moy".

HRWiki:Why create an account?

DorianGray: Reverted edits by 141.0.10.126 (Talk) to last revision by DorianGray

{{shortcut|WHY|CREATE}}
You do not have to [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] to read the Homestar Runner Wiki. You don't even have to log in to edit articles — ''anyone'' can edit [[HRWiki:Protected page|almost]] any article, even without logging in. Nevertheless, creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, and it's generally considered a good idea to do so, for a variety of reasons.

''Note: to create a user account for the Homestar Runner Wiki, go to [[Special:UserLogin/signup|the create account page]].''

== User name ==

If you create an account, you can pick a username. Edits you make while logged in will be assigned to that name. This means you get full credit for your contributions in the page history (when not logged in, the edits are just assigned to your [[Wikipedia:IP address|IP address]]). You can also view all your contributions by clicking the "My contributions" link, which is only visible when you are logged in.

You will have your own '''[[HRWiki:User space|user page]]''' where you can write a bit about yourself. While the Homestar Runner Wiki is not a homepage provider, you can use this to display a picture, write about your hobbies, etc. Many users use their user page to maintain a list of the articles they are most proud of, or to collect other valuable information from the Wiki.

You will also have a permanent '''[[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette|user talk page]]''' you can use to communicate with other users. You will be notified whenever someone writes a message on your talk page. If you choose to give an e-mail address, other users will be able to contact you by e-mail. This feature is ''anonymous''; the user who emails you will not know your e-mail address.

== Reputation and privacy ==

You don't need to reveal your [[Wikipedia:Real life|offline]] identity, but having an account gives you a fixed Homestar Runner Wiki identity that other users will recognize. While we welcome anonymous contributions, logging in lets you build trust and respect through a history of good edits. It's also easier to communicate and collaborate with an editor if we know who you are (at least, who you are on the Wiki). It is also easier for veteran users to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assume good faith]] from new users who take the effort to create an account.

Please understand that the Wiki gets vandalized, spammed and information gets uploaded by people who just want to advertise. Information needs to be verified and the Homestar Runner Wiki needs a way to distinguish reliable contributors and sources.

If you are not logged in, all your edits are publicly associated with your IP address at the time of that edit. If you log in, all your edits are publicly associated with your account name, and are internally associated with your IP address. See [[HRWiki:Privacy policy|our privacy policy]] for more information on this practice.

The privacy implications of this vary, depending on the nature of your [[Wikipedia:Internet Service Provider|Internet Service Provider]], local laws and regulations, and the nature and quantity of your edits to the Homestar Runner Wiki. Be aware that wiki technologies and policies may fluctuate.

Opinions differ on the desirability of perfect anonymity. Some people believe that anonymity is synonymous with a lack of accountability, or may facilitate unproductive behaviour, or that contributing without a fixed identity is disempowering and unpleasant. Such people consider that creating an account and logging in may resolve such feelings.

== Editing options ==

There are many features of the [[Wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software (which powers the Homestar Runner Wiki) that are only available to registered users. For example, registered users can mark edits as "minor". Minor edits can be filtered from the list of "Recent changes". We do not give the privilege to mark edits as minor to anonymous users because we do not know who is behind a given IP address at any time, so we cannot build a basis of trust. (Marking edits as minor if they are not is considered very rude.)

One very important feature which active contributors will likely use a lot are
'''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Watchlist|watchlists]]'''. You will get a new '''Watch this page''' link on every page you view. If you click that link, a page will be added to your watchlist. This list is basically a filtered view of the "Recent changes" page which only shows changes recently made to items in your watchlist. This way you can keep track of pages you work on without having to follow all changes.

Only registered users are allowed to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to rename a page|rename pages]], a feature that is very important to maintain structure and consistency on the Wiki.

Also, you must be logged in if you want to [[Special:Upload|upload images]].

Finally, registered users may edit pages without passing a [[Wikipedia:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]].

== Many user preferences ==

Aside from these features, you can customize the way MediaWiki behaves in great detail. You can change the entire appearance of the website by picking, for example, the previous "Standard" skin over the new default "MonoBook" skin, you can choose how you want mathematical formulae to be displayed, whether links should be underlined, how large the editing box should be, how many pages should be displayed in "Recent changes" and much more.

== Voting, polls, elections, surveys and reps ==

While in most Wiki polls, anyone can express their opinion, whether logged in or not, your opinion may be given more weight if it is attributed to a fixed identity with a record of sensible commentary and informed edits.

Where's an Egg?

[[Image:Where'sAnEggboxart.png‎|thumb|Where's an Egg? box art. Где – Яйцо?]]
''"In this hard-bolied  adventure game, you must help the Boise police force find a missing egg. Not in Mancuso's garage? Try Brodermaker's gymbag. Everyone's a suspect when 'Where's an Egg?' is the game that you are playing. And that's this game!!"'' -[[Videlectrix]]

'''Where's an Egg?''' is a game by [[Videlectrix]].

'''Date:''' Monday, July 16, 2007

'''Page Title:''' Where's an Egg?

==Instructions==
The object of the game is to find an egg that one of the suspects is hiding. The task is a variation of the [[Wikipedia:Knights and Knaves|Knights and Knaves]] puzzle, in which suspects either always lie or always tell the truth. After you think you know who or where an egg is, you go to that location and shoot the suspect, who will give up an egg if you have guessed correctly.

After clicking on the title screen, you are presented with several locations in a city. Clicking on the thumbnails will take you to those locations, at which you will encounter a suspect with an item. From the menu at the bottom of the screen, you can choose one of any of the items or suspects you've encountered. When you choose an item, the suspect will tell you the location where that item can be found or the suspect who has it. When you choose a suspect from your menu, the character on the screen will tell you where that suspect can be found or what item they have. Once again, they may or may not be telling the truth.

There are three other notable replies you may receive. If you ask a suspect about himself or about the items he carries, he will respond with a [[Wikipedia:smiley|smiley face]]. If you ask a suspect about anything after shooting him, he will respond with a red cross. Also, if you ask a suspect about an egg and he replies with a question mark, he does not have any information about the location of an egg.

== Strategy ==
Since a given suspect either always lies or always tells the truth, their reply about the location of an egg can be tested by asking them questions to which you know the answer. For example, if they give you information about an egg, you can ask them about an item and verify that the location or suspect with which they reply indeed corresponds to that item. If the answer they give is correct, then the location of an egg that they give is correct as well.

The above method can be modified by first asking about the first person or item you have seen, then if the suspect answers correctly, ask about an egg. Continue asking all the suspects the same question until you find a person who gives a correct answer and knows about an egg. If none are found, revisit your first person and ask about an egg. Then simply find the culprit and shoot them.

In some cases, a lying suspect may reveal themselves as such by giving the same answer for two different questions (e.g., suggesting that two different characters have a potted plant) or, due to a programming error, even answering with their own face when questioned about a different item.

Another strategy is to ask every suspect the location of an egg until you have two replies that agree. In that case, it is likely, though not certain, that the suspect they incriminate indeed has an egg.

In order to keep accurate track of which person matches which object, just quickly visit all of the locations before asking anyone a question. This will cause each person and their object to appear in the same order at the bottom of the screen. Once you have visited all locations, start asking each person where an egg is. Once you find someone who replies, figure out if they are a truth-teller or a liar by seeing if their responses properly match up people to their object. If they are a truth-teller, move on to asking about an egg. If they tell the truth, you know who has an egg.

However, one haphazard strategy is to simply shoot three random people. This gives a 1 in 3 chance of winning, with no real effort.

== Suspects, locations, and items ==
Suspects, locations, and items are randomly assigned for each game.

== Endings ==
[[Image:Where's an egg loose screen.PNG|thumb|Lose screen]]
If you run out of time or shoot three characters who do not have an egg, the game ends. The character who did have an egg is shown running with it through the area they were in, and the main character is shown in Siberia wearing prison clothes and a ball-and-chain. He quickly turns into a skeleton.

[[Image:Where's an egg win screen.PNG|thumb|left|Win screen]]
If you successfully reclaim an egg, a uniformed man (probably [[Wikipedia:Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]) awards you with a badge in front of [[Wikipedia:Lenin's Mausoleum|Lenin's Mausoleum]]. The screen pans up to the sky, where fireworks shoot off. If the game was completed with enough time left on the clock, different spaceships fly through the sky:
*901–940 seconds left — one spaceship
*941–970 seconds left — two spaceships
*971 or more seconds left — three spaceships, the last of which is exited by a cosmonaut

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This game was released more than two and a half years after its description was featured on the Videlectrix website. The [[main page message]] announcing its release read: '''new' videlectrix game!''
*The language used in the game is [[Russia]]n, and is understandable to a native speaker, although there are various grammatical and stylistic errors (see [[#Translations|Translation section]]).
*After shooting someone who does not have an egg, you can still question them and they will reply with the symbol for the [[Wikipedia:International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement|Red Cross]] (indicating they require medical attention). The Red Cross has recently been [http://www.redcross.ca/article.asp?id=016637&tid=001 trying to stop game creators from using their logo this way].
*In every game, there are either three or four suspects who tell the truth, and either three or four suspects who will give an answer when asked about an egg. Three is more common in both cases, and at least one of the honest suspects will answer about an egg.

*Each suspect has a theme song that plays when you visit them.
**If a suspect talks about another person, that person's theme plays in the right speaker.
**If you ask about another person, that person's theme plays in the left speaker.
**If you shoot a suspect, their theme song volume is lowered.
**The victory music is all of the suspects' themes played on top of each other.
*Where's an Egg? is shown on a [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy disk]] in the introductions for [[strongbad_email.exe]] Discs [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Three|Three]] and [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five|Five]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:Eggpage2.jpg|thumb|Page 13 of the instruction manual]]
*A [[Videlectrix:eggction.html|page of the manual]] was also made available at the same time as the game was released.
*Although the Videlectrix description suggests that an egg may be in "Mancuso's garage", a garage is not one of the locations in the game, although there is a mechanic.

===Goofs===
*For the first second of the game, the timer reads 000, when its true value is 999. One second later, it changes to 998. If you manage to win in that first second, it will read 999 on the victory screen.
*The game has a check to prevent liars from replying with their own picture, item, or location, but a programming error allows them to answer with their own picture when questioned about an item that isn't theirs, or the egg.

===Glitches===
*If you shoot the last bullet at the wrong person right before time is up, when the clock runs to 000, you will be presented with a win screen with the perpetrator sliding across the screen and the lose screen in Siberia. Then you are presented with a medal.

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[eggs]] and [[alcohol]].
*The main character wields a [[gun]].
*All of the suspects [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]].
*[[Some Type of Online Auction]] was previously used to sell a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[english paper]].
*The red-haired boy shares several features with both [[Kid Speedy]] and [[Ron Cumberdale]] from [[Peasant's Quest]].
*[[Mancuso]] is mentioned again.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Boise, Idaho|Boise]] is the capital city of the US state [[Wikipedia:Idaho|Idaho]]. Idaho is likely referenced because one of its northern cities is named Moscow, like the capital of the former USSR/Russia (where this game really seems to take place).
*Brodermaker is a reference to video game company [[Wikipedia:Brøderbund|Brøderbund]], makers of the [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]] games.
**This game is also very similar, in some aspects, to the early Carmen Sandiego games.
*The music at the beginning of the game accompanying the Videlectrix logo is from the traditional Russian [[Wikipedia:The Volga Boatmen's Song|Song of the Volga Boatmen]].
*The three spacecraft that fly across the screen in the ending sequence are [[Wikipedia:Sputnik 1|Sputnik 1]], [[Wikipedia:Vostok 1|Vostok 1]], and [[Wikipedia:Voskhod 2|Voskhod 2]], commemorating three "firsts" of the Russian space program: the first artificial satellite, the [[Wikipedia:Yuri Gagarin|first man in space]], and the [[Wikipedia:Aleksei Leonov|first spacewalk]], respectively.
**The congratulation scene is reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] and [[Wikipedia:NES|NES]] versions of [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]] (a game that is famous for having come out of Russia), in which the player was shown rocket and shuttle launches of spacecraft at the end of a game depending on how well the player did.
*Gameplay bears certain superficial similarities to the board game [[Wikipedia:Cluedo|Clue]], being a [[Wikipedia:Whodunit|whodunit]] wherein a specific accusation must be formulated from a set of distinct suspects, items and locations.
*The scene where the main character is stuck in icy mountains with a ball and chain is a reference to the old Russian practice of [[Wikipedia:Gulag|exiling criminals]] to [[Wikipedia:Siberia|Siberia]], which is a cold, mountainous region of Russia.

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Compé]] [[Strong Bad's Wallpapers|wallpaper]] for [[dictionary]] advertises a sequel to this game.
*As revealed in ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]'', ''Where's an Egg?'' is the favorite game of ''[[wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Heavy Weapons Guy; in his version of Russia, it is as big as ''[[wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]''.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Location !! Message !! Transliteration !! Translation !! Notes
|-
| Loading screen || телевизионный электрический || televizzionniy elektricheskii || Videlectrix || ''Literally:'' "televisual electric". Electric video would be "Электрическое Видео" (Elektricheskoe Video). In fact, it's a mistranslation of "Electronic Videogame", thus the correct title in Russian would be "Электронная видеоигра" (Elektronnaya videoigra).
|-
| Title || Где – Яйцо? || Gde Yaitso? || Where's an egg? || Russian has no article, so it is impossible to make a distinction between "the egg" and "an egg" and the title could refer to either. The dash in the title is incorrect; such a dash is only used to separate a predicate from a noun phrase (an action from an object) instead of the present tense of the verb "to be", which is most always dropped in Russian.
|-
| Inscription above the columns of the gray building || Берег || Bereg || Bank || The word has the sense of "riverbank", as opposed to a financial service institution, which would be "банк" (Bank). Furthermore, the game mistakenly uses a capital "R" instead of the Cyrillic "г", which resembles a lowercase "r".
|-
| When you discover who had an egg || виновник || vinovnik || criminal ''or'' guilty person || Criminal is actually Преступник (Prestupnik).
|-
| rowspan="2" | When you win the game || поздравление || pozdravlenie || congratulations || Although English speakers often use the noun "Congratulations," a Russian would just use "Победа" (Pobeda), translated as "Victory". The verb "I congratulate you with your victory." is very unlikely to be used in the real Russian video game.
|-
| ЛЕНИН || LENIN || [[Wikipedia:Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] || An entrance to [[Wikipedia:Lenin's Mausoleum|Lenin's Mausoleum]]
|-
| rowspan="2" | When you lose || гулаг || gulag || [[Wikipedia:Gulag|Gulag]] || The name given to the Soviet labor camps
|-
| игра законченный || igra zakonchenniy || game over || This phrase is incorrect due to misuse of gender (nouns have genders in Russian). A grammatically correct version would read "игра закончена" (igra zakonchena), although in real games the "Конец игры" (Konecz igry) (End of the game) and "Игра окончена" (Igra okonchena) (the game is over) are more likely to be used.

The Demon

DorianGray — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 00:06:49 GMT

DorianGray: That's not a goof. That's not even anything.

[[Image:Thedemon.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The Demon poking Old-Timey Strong Bad with a pitchfork]]

'''The Demon''' makes a cameo appearance in an Easter egg from [[Parsnips A-Plenty]]. In it, he's in [[Hell]], poking [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] with a pitchfork. His appearance, tool action, gloves, and relation to [[The Kaiser]] (who is the [[Old-Timey]] version of [[The King of Town]]) strongly suggest that he is the Old-Timey incarnation of [[The Poopsmith]]. An [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|interview]] with [[Matt Chapman]] validates this to some extent.

|-
| [[Image:Secret Answering Machine.PNG|100px]] || '''Marzipan's Answering Machine''' || This is just [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]], possibly before more versions were planned. It has a few minor differences from the current version. The font is a little different for both the number and the back link, it doesn't have the archive menu, and the Back button links to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games Menu]]. || [[HR:answer.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:answer.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| || '''[[The King of Town DVD Commentary#Secret Commentary|The King of Town DVD Secret Commentary]]''' || This is a secret version of [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|Strong Bad's Commentary]] for [[The King of Town DVD]] without any visuals. It is identical to the normal version except for the end, where it explains why Strong Bad did the commentary. || [[HR:sb_kingcomment.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:KOTDvdOld.PNG|100px]] || '''Alternate [[The King of Town DVD Old Version]]''' || This is a slight variation of the [[The King of Town DVD Old Version|Old Version]] of [[The King of Town DVD]].

|-
| || '''halloween2''' || This page appears to be related to [[Homestarloween Party]]. The following text is contained in the page source: <blockquote> ''Halloween Episode Written by Matt, Mike, and Craig Voices by Matt and Melissa Animation by Mike and Matt CORPORATE ROCK STILL SUCKS Homestar (Kurt Cobain) Strong sad (gorbachev) king of town (cap'n crunch) marzipan (jeanie) pom pom (stay-puft) coach z (flavor flav) bubs (rerun) poopsmith (tron) the cheat (garfield)'' </blockquote> || [[HR:halloween2.html|View the page]]

|-
| [[Image:sbemail46.PNG|100px]] || '''Old "[[your friends]]"''' || This is an alternate version of the email [[your friends]]. Differences: Strong Bad's mouth isn't visible in the reflection when he sings the email intro. The announcer on the TV [[Strong Mad]] is watching doesn't say "Some type of TV show." The background music stops at [[Strong Sad]]'s scene. Some extra buzz saw blades and a bottle of hot sauce behind Strong Bad are gone in [[Marzipan]]'s scene. The Cheat doesn't yell at Strong Bad, and Pom Pom does one less turn. Strong Bad isn't holding a bottle of hot sauce in [[Homsar]]'s scene. At the end, Strong Bad says the word "fans" a little differently.

|-
| [[Image:Unfinished Interview.PNG|100px]] || '''Metro.pop Interview''' || An unfinished version of the short [[The Interview]]. Among other differences between it and the final, Strong Bad and Homestar talk without moving their mouths in the second half, Homestar doesn't take out his shopping list or his pen and notebook, Strong Sad doesn't say "En guarde?", and Strong Bad's last line is "Thank you for your time" as opposed to "Get out of my face".

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email, and away from the doors.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: a sticky question...</div>
Dear Strong bad, 
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the 
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and 
making rendezvous? 
 
Luke, Eau Claire, WI</blockquote>

''{he tries to pronounce the plural of 'rendezvous' as '[[Foreign Words|rendezvouuuu-ses]]?', and the bottom line as 'Luke-- eww...Claire...why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button, too?

''{cut to a young Strong Bad's birthday; a sign reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome! ''{he revs the drill}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Cut to Original Book style. Señor and Mr. Bland stand in flat greenness, and Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{a red Stand falls on them with a splurt!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' said Bubs.

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity ''{sic}'' about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on the screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! Er, ''{deletes up to the 'p'}'' plague!

''{cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And bread is a good time for me, woo-doo-doo-loot-doo, singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals to the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, is swinging a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

''{At this point, Homestar's face has a red chain mark from being hit}''

''{Strong Bad claps; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SUCH GRACE!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marzipan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some neva-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spraypainting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{cut to Marzipan standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head, at night; a wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to Chhh-Homsar... aaand left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' AAAaaaAAh'm the human wedgie! ''{His hat falls and lands on Marzipan's dress}''

''{Homestar marches in, holding a loaf of bread}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' ... don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. ''{Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs's—

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat behind Bubs' Concession Stand with the muffler and pipe, and a crown with 'On Point' spraypainted on the wall}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We di'n't take no guff from nobody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephanté?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts at powering of drill}'' Waah! No sir! Heck no at all! ''{runs away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws drill away}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a nail file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

''{The King of Town walks in with a blue dunce cap on}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{nods his hat}'' Doink, doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. ''{a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (though only one 'd' is typed)}'' D-don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:BreadSingalongs.png|thumb|125px|"Pumpernickel and rye."]]
* After Strong Bad says "eww... Claire... why???" click on "Eau Claire, WI" to view [[Leomard Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly Sportsinterviews]]'s book ''[[Books by Sportsinterviewses#Ewww, Claire!! Why???|Ewww, Claire!! Why???]]''
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (if we don't count [[Modestly Hot Homsar]]). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on your point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*This is the first time Señor's full name (Señor Havin' A Little Trouble) is revealed on the website (though it had been mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[flashback]].)
*Even though in the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the sign above the window reads "STAND", during the first appearance of said concession stand ([[Where My Hat Is At?]]), the sign reads "CANDY".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has trouble with the [[Foreign words|pronunciation]] of the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'', which is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*"Eau Claire" means "Clear Water" in French; the correct pronunciation of "eau" is "oh".
*In the Bread Sing-Alongs CD, the picture of Homestar blinks. This is due to his Flash "movie clip" symbol, which makes him blink automatically in a looped animation.
* The "Come on and Sing" sign was not in the animation the first few days. It was added sometime after a week.
*Curiously, Strong Bad misspelled "curiosity" as "curiousity."
*Strong Mad seems noticeably shorter than usual.
*The electric drill makes a sound effect very much like that of a pneumatic impact wrench or drill, rather than an electric drill.
*In the first flashback, the trigger to the drill depresses even though Strong Bad's "finger" isn't long enough to reach it.
*The spelling of "steak" given in this email would more normally be pronounced "state-k"
*Strong Bad uses a nail file even though he [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Fingers|lacks visible fingers]].
*When Strong Bad is spray painting Marzipan, and when he's hanging out behind Bubs's, his pants are a slightly different shade than normal.
*When the Cheat chainwhips Homestar, the whip appears behind the piece of bread he eventually picks up.

===Inside References===
*We last saw [[the smashed muffler]] in [[no loafing]].
*[[Homestar Runner Peeking|Homestar peeking]] out behind the bread concealing his eyes at the end of his first bread sing-along song is a long-time running joke that whenever his eyes are concealed or closed, he has to move them so he can see you. Other examples are [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[A Holiday Greeting]], and [[Cool Things]].
* Strong Bad was last "On Point" in the "[[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]]," which is the game from the email [[date]].
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and [[Tompkins]] wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]. Also, Little Strong Bad's voice is very similar to that of Tompkins.
*The electric drill [[sound effect]] was last heard in [[privileges]] as The Cheat earned a new rewards point.
*The full name "Señor Havin' a Little Trouble" comes from the [[Original Book]]. In the picture where Señor is being squished under the weight of the grapes, the image's alternate text is "havin a little trouble".
*This is another appearance of [[bread]].
===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is a reference to HAL, the automated voice used in [[Wikipedia:Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport|Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport]]'s people movers prior to an upgrade for the [[Wikipedia:1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Olympics]]. The original voice said, in a computer-generated voice, "The next stop is Concourse (A/B/C/D). The color coded maps and signs in the vehicle match the station colors. This vehicle is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the vehicle and away from the doors. STOP! DO NOT ENTER!"
*When Señor and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author of novels for children and young adults.
*The name "[[On Point Kings]]" and the crown graffiti are references to the [[Wikipedia:Latin Kings|Latin Kings]], a famous street gang that originated in Chicago. Since members of the Latin Kings are traditionally Hispanic, this is in keeping with Strong Bad's vaguely Mexican heritage.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among travelling artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is /mol-ǝ-'''skeen'''-ǝ/.
*"Harry Elephante" is a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]].
*"Van Peebles" is a reference to the filmmakers [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]] (known for ''[[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]]'') and his son [[Wikipedia:Mario Van Peebles|Mario Van Peebles]].
*Strong Bad's line "that's some never-forgive action right there" is a direct quote from Min One in the graffiti documentary [[Wikipedia:Style Wars|Style Wars]].
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the '80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]], whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."
*The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing is a reference to the sport [[Wikipedia:Rhythmic gymnastics|rhythmic gymnastics]].

===Fast Forward===

*In [[secret identity]], you can see another book similar to ''Ewww, Claire!! Why???'' in an Easter Egg, entitled ''Laramie, Why?''
*Homestar revisits his bread fixation in [[disconnected]].
*The [[On Point Kings]] reappeared in [[more armies]].
*Strong Bad types ''Bread Singalongs'' in a green, animated font. He does this again in [[rough copy]] with ''Flavored Water''.
*Strong Bad spray painted a Marzipan poster in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

Coach Z

DorianGray — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:46:18 GMT

DorianGray: "Zader matermorts" is the official spelling, as written in the quote of the week

{{charnav|Coach Z|cz|Marzipan|Bubs}}
[[Image:coach-z.png|thumb|right|200px|He has more than two problems.]]
{{about|main character}} {{for|[[Teen Girl Squad]] character|Olympic Man and Coach}}

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. He has a strong accent, based on an [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] (though it is also sometimes simply nonsensical) which is sometimes difficult for other characters to understand. While occasionally tiresome, he is always ready to offer encouragement and is rarely critical of anyone. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which has lost its meaning through time.

Coach Z wears a blue and purple baseball cap and a large gold Z emblem around his waist. Nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a visible nose and mouth]], but is able to talk, eat, and spit with ease. He has long arms and large feet, but very short legs.

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been strongly implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In [[diorama]], Coach Z even refers to Marzipan as his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also has difficulty pronouncing certain words, such as "job" (as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon), instead pronouncing it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jorearb". In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit of [[butt-patting]]. He also has a slight obsession with ointments and body creams, like using 'Blue Star Ointment' to scare people in [[Halloween Fairstival]]. Many characters see him as a nuisance. Even Homestar treated Coach Z with contempt in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], quickly refusing to allow Coach Z to come to his house for [[Decemberween]].

When not working as a coach, Coach Z works with [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]]. Coach Z is also the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]], suggesting that he may have a background in theatre. Despite his numerous jobs, Coach Z has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year.

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Although his usual rapping prowess consists mainly of "count[ing] to two over and over again," as explained in [[nightlife]], he once had a very successful career during his days in the [[Two-o Duo]].

[[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although this may simply be a product of Strong Bad's [[History According to Strong Bad|"doodle memory"]]). He is likely to be one of the older characters, since in [[caffeine]], Strong Sad's slaps provoke him to cry out "I'm just an old man!"; in [[slumber party]], Strong Bad refers to him, [[Bubs]], and [[The King of Town]] as "older kids"; and while narrating an interaction between Coach Z and Bubs in [[narrator]], Strong Bad labels them both as "weird old men".

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] shows us; Bubs makes a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the parade, and Coach Z retaliates by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] steals [[Bubs Concession Stand|his concession stand]]. In the email [[narrator]], it was shown that they had made-up and returned to having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. However, in [[Most In The Graveyard]], when it is implied that Coach Z fancies Bubs' sister, Bubs beats him up. In the same toon, it is also revealed that Coach Z and Bubs may actually be very distant cousins, although Bubs finds this hard to believe.

{{Character Video Transcript}}

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

===Sounds Affected===
The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb"), although in a few toons such as [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], he's shown to purposely do it.

[[Category:Word running gags]]

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says "trick or treat" correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people. He also refers to "Cheat kickers" just before suggesting to "[[Kicking The Cheat|kick The Chort]]" in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.
*While playing [[Renaldo]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], he pronounces "off" both correctly and incorrectly in the same sentence.
*In [[Loading Screens]], Coach Z's accent is much less pronounced than usual.

*It was revealed in issue #21 of [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision]] magazine that Coach Z is named after [[Craig Zobel]].
*According to [[trading cards]], Coach Z gave 23 [[Butt-Patting|butt pats]] in 1984 (22 to Homestar, 1 to himself).
*Coach Z was originally known as "Coach Zee."
*Strong Bad referred to Coach Z as "Green Bubs" in the email [[road trip]].
*In [[Date Nite]] he is shown without his hat and wearing hair curlers, despite a lack of visible hair.
*On Coach Z's emblem, the darker blue shine streak under the gold Z makes a backwards Z formation.
*According to the [[Old Characters Page]], Coach Z wasn't much of a coach at the time, and he just added the title because it sounded "cooler than just Z". He has been seen coaching on numerous occasions since then, though his talent at it is still dubious at best.

''{Cut to The King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious 5 much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

''{Homestar walks by, and continues to do so throughout the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guys. Ahh, Coach Z is down with the PE! ''{Coach Z dances to Homestar's second remark.}''

''{Switch to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ya know, I think it turned out pretty good. I mean Mom helped me do the fruit ''{gestures to hat}'', and I did the sewing—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, lookin' good, Strong Bad. The Chiquita Banana lady, that's great!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, Chiquita Ba—?! ''{shouting}'' For the last time, I'm Carmen freakin' Miranda!

''{Switch to Marzipan, Strong Sad, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith, who is bobbing for pumpkins. He picks up a pumpkin and spits it into the bucket twice.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yesterday, I was out in the garden, and I was weeding, and there was this little worm... and...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, everybody looks so great! ''{stops walking}'' You know, there's more punch over there, if anybody... wants any. All riiiiiight, everybody! Line up! ''{holds up flashlight}'' We're gonna play ''{clicks flashlight on and off}'' Flashlight Ghost-Story-Telling with a Flashliiight! ''{thunder booms}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' We should stand boy-girl-boy-girl. ''{thunder booms, organ sting}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good one, Marzipan! That way we know it's fair!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I get to stand next to you, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nope. I'm standing next to Bubs. You get to stand next to Strong Baaad. ''{walks away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps}'' Uh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Psst! ''{whispering}'' Hey, Marzipan... is my slip showing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, okay! I'll go first.

''{A circle forms around him so his picture is now an inset of a new scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... okay! Once, there was this green gobliiiin... ''{a goblin appears}'' and um, he used to... look aroooound... ''{the goblin looks around}'' And um, I guess he did a daaance. ''{the goblin dances}'' Oh man, that was terrible.

''{Homestar passes the flashlight to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' And, the goblin, he had a Gremlin! ''{A car appears next to the goblin. As Bubs talks, the car's tires grow and numerous accessories are added to it.}'' And he jacked it up on some fat tires, and uh, and he tuned it up on some 4.11 positrak out back, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bore over 30, 11-to-1 pop-up pistons turbo jets 390 horsepower! I mean, he had some freakin' muscle!

''{Bubs passes the flashlight to Pom Pom.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Pom Pom makes bubbling noises throughout his segment.}''

''{A giggling blonde girl in a pink bikini with a Pom head appears next to the Gremlin, as well as a redhead with a blue bikini and a brunette in a leopard-pattern bikini, followed by beer and sports paraphernalia. Pom Pom passes the flashlight to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' One of the girls had a cute little kitten named Kitty-kitty.

''{A cat appears beside the girl on the left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' The other girl had a cute little puppy named Chris.

''{A dog appears beside the girl on the right.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And then the third girl was a Republican.

''{A Republican Party Elephant sign appears in the hand of the girl on the Gremlin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, brother! Gimme that! ''{snatches the flashlight from Marzipan}'' So then the robot came—

''{The Visor Robot appears onscreen, to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and he started vaporizing everybody with his vapor-gun! ''{the Visor Robot begins doing just that}'' And he was like "You take this, and you'd better, you, and you take this, everybody's gonna die!" And then he said, "Oh, the Gremlin! I hate the Goblin Gremlin! Bah!"

''{The Visor Robot kicks the Gremlin over the trees.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need to get some more punch.

''{Strong Bad passes the flashlight to the King of Town and walks off}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oooh, oooh!

''{The Visor Robot and Goblin stand across from each other and all the food appears that the King mentions in between them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And then there was fried fish and heavenly ham and Salisbury sundaes and globs of meringue and strawberry frosted donuts and bowls full of jelly and Klondike pudding and scrumptious fillers... and—DOO! DOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

''{All the food inexplicably disappears. The King passes the flashlight to Strong Sad and hurries off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so it turns out the robot had a human brain which was stolen from a kindly old man. And the children of that old man came to the robot looking for their father, and they called out to him.

''{Speech bubble with an exclamation point in it appears on the girl.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the robot's human brain remembered his children and his stolen life, and he was moved to tears. ''{robot starts to cry.}'' But the tears shorted out his circuits, and fried his brain. ''{Electric bolts appear on the Visor Robot's head}'' And the robot toppled over, and he crushed his children, and the Goblin, too. ''{Visor Robot falls on them and his brain comes out.}'' And none of them lived.

''{Cut to Bubs, Coach Z, and The King of Town crying.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{crying}'' Oh, jeez, what a total downer! ''{they walk away, still crying}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, I'm outta here!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{crying}'' That's the saddest story I've ever heard! You can't come to next year's party.

''{Marzipan walks away crying, while The Poopsmith sighs deeply and also walks away.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' Gee... thanks for coming to my party, Strong Sad. ''{sighs, walks away.}''

''{Everyone except Strong Sad leaves, and crickets start chirping. An owl hoots and a far-off wolf howls. Strong Sad clicks the flashlight on and off a few times, then the screen fades.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*With nine [[death]]s, this cartoon has a higher body count than any other cartoon on the website, including [[Teen Girl Squad]].
*This is the only time Coach Z is seen with a full complement of fingers.
*Strong Mad, The Cheat, The Poopsmith, and Coach Z never contributed to the ghost story, but the Poopsmith probably doesn't contribute to the story on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*This toon was "Written, drawn, and directed by Matt, Mike, and Craig". This is most likely [[Craig Zobel]].
*According to [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], the spooky trees in the background are just next to [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*This toon marks the first appearances of The Goblin, who has become something of a Halloween toon staple, as well as the [[Gremlin]], [[Pom Pom's Girls]], the Visor Robot, and the Sad Kids, which have all later reappeared in several toons.
*Marzipan has one of Pom Pom's girls hold up a Republican sign with an [[elephant]] on it.
*This marks the only major Halloween toon which [[Homsar]] doesn't appear in, due to the fact that he had not yet been created.

===Goofs===
*The birthmark on Strong Sad as [[Wikipedia:Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]] is on the wrong side of his head.
*When Homestar turns the flashlight on and off for Flashlight Ghost Storytelling with a Flashlight, his face isn't illuminated any better, so much as the rest of his body is cast into shadow.
*When Strong Sad turns the flash light on & off at the end, his hands do not move.
*Although the flash light has a sliding switch, it makes a sound like that of an on/off button.
*When Marzipan is weeping as she leaves, her mouth doesn't move. Also, Homestar's mouth doesn't move when he sighs.
*The Goblin's pupils shrink when he turns his head to look at the second girl.
*After the robot kicks the Gremlin, the front loses the double bumper.
*In the beginning, Strong Bad's right sleeve is off center, and hangs down below his shoulder.
*When the King of Town's imagined desserts fade away, one of the desserts changes color before fading. This is because the dessert is a tinted version of an existing dessert, and in Flash a symbol can not have its opacity and tint be modified at the same time, so it reverts to its original color.
*When Strong Bad leaves the party, his mouth disappears for a split second.
*Chris's eyes are transparent.

===Glitches===
*Once the [[opening credits]] end, there is a slight jump in the music.

===Inside References===
*[[The King of Town]] mentions "Strawberry frosted [[donuts]]."
*[[Strong Bad]] dressing up as Carmen Miranda is an example of [[cross-dressing]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z's opening line references the [[Wikipedia: Furious Five|Furious Five]], a pioneering rap group in the early '80s. The specific artist Coach Z refers to could either be [[Wikipedia:Grandmaster Flash|Grandmaster Flash]], the original leader of the Furious Five, or [[Wikipedia:Grandmaster Melle Mel|Grandmaster Melle Mel]], who led the group after Flash's departure.
*Bubs's description of the Gremlin is [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/quotes quoted] almost directly from the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0106677|Dazed And Confused]]''.
*The [[Wikipedia:flux capacitor|flux capacitor]] visible on the Gremlin is a reference to the ''[[Back to the Future]]'' movies.
*Strong Sad turning the flashlight on and off is possibly an homage to the movie ''[[imdb:tt0111149|Shallow Grave]]'', in which Christopher Eccleston's character turns a flashlight on and off into his face while spiralling into insanity.
*Homestar's shirt says "corporate rock still sucks", which is the motto of [[Wikipedia:SST Records|SST Records]], a favorite record label of Cobain's. Cobain once wore a shirt parodying the slogan on a famous [[Wikipedia:Rolling Stone|Rolling Stone]] cover saying "Corporate Magazines still suck". Also, his shoes look a lot like [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars]], which the video for [[Wikipedia:Smells Like Teen Spirit|Smells Like Teen Spirit]] helped to repopularize.
**It's also possibly a nod to certain ''[http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/TSHIRTS/NV204.jpg Nirvana shirts]''.
*Homestar's line "Coach Z is down with the PE" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Public Enemy|Public Enemy]] song "Burn Hollywood Burn", wherein guest-rapper [[Wikipedia:Ice Cube|Ice Cube]] raps "Ice Cube is down with the PE".
**This could be a play on words; PE could also stand for physical education, as Coach Z is allegedly a coach.
*The bear The Cheat has is Pooky, Garfield's teddy bear.
*[[Wikipedia: Edelbrock|Edelbrock]] is a seller of performace parts for [[Wikipedia: automobile|automobiles]].

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan's line, "You can't come to next year's party," was revisited in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], when Marzipan said, "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year." Then, in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]], he gets "literary justice" when he's invited to no one's party.
*The music that was used for the Flashlight Ghost Storytelling Using a Flashlight was used again in The House That Gave Sucky Treats and the Strong Bad e-mail [[theme park]] during "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*A slight variation of Homestar's "Corporate Rock Still Sucks" (the motto of SST Records) shirt was worn by Strong Sad in [[geddup noise]], which said "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".
*The Poopsmith later puts a pumpkin in his mouth in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].

== DVD Version ==
*The spot at the very end to see what the characters were dressed as has been removed.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' Oh, Mike, listen to how you can hear your fingers hitting the keys—

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' —on the little— yeah. ''{pause}'' They're kinda little ''puh puh puh'' clicky—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —holding a mic up to the Casio SK-1 keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Does that not have a line out?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it didn— it sounded crappy, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It just had to go from like an 8-inch to an adaptor, et cetera et cetera.

'''MIKE:''' So here's our first Halloween cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a really nice ''credit'' sequence... ''Mike''.

'''MIKE:''' ...Not sure why Matt is taking this tone with me, everyone!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' "Every single ''{clears his throat conspicuously}'' wanna see me."

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, interesting.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, The Cheat's costume, while he looks pretty good, wasn't very involved. It's just a pair of glasses... Garfield-looking glasses.

'''MATT:''' He has a very authentic Pooky, though... ''{Mike chuckles}'' for sure.

'''MIKE:''' I think the Mikhail Gorbachev still may be my favorite costume.

'''MATT:''' It's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Although ''his'' glasses don't have any, uh...

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' They're just taped to his face.

'''MIKE:''' And I think the Marzipan genie costume might be the least thought-out—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We just—

'''MIKE:''' It was the first one, but, everyone else's costumes are pretty good.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cap'n Crunch, that's a good... Ooh, Marzipan's old mouth.

'''MATT:''' ''{softly}'' Ooh, the— Oh... I don't think Kurt Cobain had that stringy of— his hair was that stringy.

'''MIKE:''' I don't— Our friend Craig made that hair.

'''MATT:''' Did he really? I didn't remember that. I know that Craig made the ladies, the hot ladies that show up in Pom Pom's story later on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he made, he made—

'''MATT:''' Did he make that headdress on, uh, the fruit basket headdress?

'''MIKE:''' No... I made that.

'''MATT:''' Oh. It looks good. Oh yeah, you drew that and scanned it in, didn't you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I think we still have the drawing of that in the old sketchbook.

'''MIKE:''' So Matt one time when he was... what do you think, you were three maybe?

'''MATT:''' Uh, nnnnyeah, may— four.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Four, probably four. It was right when we moved to Atlanta.

'''MIKE:''' There was his Halloween costume, it was this big inflatable head that you sort of have attached with this headgear of this Martian. Yeah, goblin?

'''MATT:''' He was a goblin, not a Martian, he was a gween gobolin.

'''MIKE:''' Our dad was interviewing him on Super 8, and said, "What do you dress up?" ''{imitating Matt's young, high-pitched voice}'' "''A gween gobolin!''"

'''MATT:''' It was true, man.

'''MIKE:''' Look, Bubs has no arms, Matt!!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' He has no arms!!

'''MATT:''' Good job, us!

'''MIKE:''' Who were we fooling?!

'''MATT:''' No one! ''{pause}'' These ladies are a little risqué for the website, honestly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Craig made them way too hot.

'''MIKE:''' Especially the way that one's kinda twisting her ankle like that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, she's—

'''MIKE:''' Look, she's funneling beers too!

'''MATT:''' They're party girls. Pom Pom's into the party girls. ''{pause}'' I remember Melissa made all these things up and I was amazed by her improvisational talents.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' I don't think I— I don't think I still— I didn't really like Melissa at that time, and I was really impressed. Naw, I was kidding. I liked Melissa plenty. ''{pause}'' He hates the Goblin Gremlin, Mike. ''{pause}'' Heh, the weird King of Town voice.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —found it stride. There was really, what, like four or five different— oh, okay there was an impressive amount of different drawings, there. In my head that was a way bigger pile—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —than what I remember.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know why—

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' There's a lot of things that were invented from this cartoon: the goblin, the sad kids, that robot— the Visor Robot appeared.

'''MIKE:''' The Visor Robot.

'''MATT:''' Why is it called the Visor Robot?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno, I think the wiki— I didn— ''We'' didn't name it the Visor Robot, did we?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' But I ''call'' it the Visor Robot, ''{in a funny voice}'' don't I, Matt?

'''MATT:''' ''{in a funny voice similar to Coach Z's}'' Yeah, you do; you gotta listen to that wiki, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I like, watch the brain slide here.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I did this part. ''{pause}'' Those squashed kids look pretty terrible. ''{both laugh}'' Not even sure how that works.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Bubs has arms again!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Good, see— he only has pointy fingers.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, he's got ''fingers''. Yeah, Coach Z— 'Cause he says, uh, "the Furious 5", right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think so. Well, he was just pointing too, when he's rapping, when he says, "Coach Z is down with the PE." But, now he just has mittens. ''{Mike laughs}'' He has never shown his fingers again. Maybe those are—

'''MIKE:''' He's never shown his true fingers before.

'''MATT:''' Maybe he's just wearing those on top of his mittens as part of his costume. We're really consistent, everybody! We think this stuff through ahead of time; we have a ten-year plan for the website...!

'''MIKE:''' ''{wolf howls in the cartoon}'' Hey, that's Matt.

'''MATT:''' That's me.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I do an owl, too. On the website, sound effects master, mang! Manganese.

''{Cut to The King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious 5 much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

''{Homestar walks by, and continues to do so throughout the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guys. Ahh, Coach Z is down with the PE! ''{Coach Z dances to Homestar's second remark.}''

''{Switch to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ya know, I think it turned out pretty good. I mean Mom helped me do the fruit ''{gestures to hat}'', and I did the sewing—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, lookin' good, Strong Bad. The Chiquita Banana lady, that's great!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, Chiquita Ba—?! ''{shouting}'' For the last time, I'm Carmen freakin' Miranda!

''{Switch to Marzipan, Strong Sad, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith, who is bobbing for pumpkins. He picks up a pumpkin and spits it into the bucket twice.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yesterday, I was out in the garden, and I was weeding, and there was this little worm... and...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, everybody looks so great! ''{stops walking}'' You know, there's more punch over there, if anybody... wants any. All riiiiiight, everybody! Line up! ''{holds up flashlight}'' We're gonna play ''{clicks flashlight on and off}'' Flashlight Ghost-Story-Telling with a Flashliiight! ''{thunder booms}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' We should stand boy-girl-boy-girl. ''{thunder booms, organ sting}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good one, Marzipan! That way we know it's fair!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I get to stand next to you, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nope. I'm standing next to Bubs. You get to stand next to Strong Baaad. ''{walks away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps}'' Uh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Psst! ''{whispering}'' Hey, Marzipan... is my slip showing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, okay! I'll go first.

''{A circle forms around him so his picture is now an inset of a new scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... okay! Once, there was this green gobliiiin... ''{a goblin appears}'' and um, he used to... look aroooound... ''{the goblin looks around}'' And um, I guess he did a daaance. ''{the goblin dances}'' Oh man, that was terrible.

''{Homestar passes the flashlight to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' And, the goblin, he had a Gremlin! ''{A car appears next to the goblin. As Bubs talks, the car's tires grow and numerous accessories are added to it.}'' And he jacked it up on some fat tires, and uh, and he tuned it up on some 4.11 positrak out back, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bore over 30, 11-to-1 pop-up pistons turbo jets 390 horsepower! I mean, he had some freakin' muscle!

''{Bubs passes the flashlight to Pom Pom.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Pom Pom makes bubbling noises throughout his segment.}''

''{A giggling blonde girl in a pink bikini with a Pom head appears next to the Gremlin, as well as a redhead with a blue bikini and a brunette in a leopard-pattern bikini, followed by beer and sports paraphernalia. Pom Pom passes the flashlight to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' One of the girls had a cute little kitten named Kitty-kitty.

''{A cat appears beside the girl on the left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' The other girl had a cute little puppy named Chris.

''{A dog appears beside the girl on the right.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And then the third girl was a Republican.

''{A Republican Party Elephant sign appears in the hand of the girl on the Gremlin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, brother! Gimme that! ''{snatches the flashlight from Marzipan}'' So then the robot came—

''{The Visor Robot appears onscreen, to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and he started vaporizing everybody with his vapor-gun! ''{the Visor Robot begins doing just that}'' And he was like "You take this, and you'd better, you, and you take this, everybody's gonna die!" And then he said, "Oh, the Gremlin! I hate the Goblin Gremlin! Bah!"

''{The Visor Robot kicks the Gremlin over the trees.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need to get some more punch.

''{Strong Bad passes the flashlight to the King of Town and walks off}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oooh, oooh!

''{The Visor Robot and Goblin stand across from each other and all the food appears that the King mentions in between them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And then there was fried fish and heavenly ham and Salisbury sundaes and globs of meringue and strawberry frosted donuts and bowls full of jelly and Klondike pudding and scrumptious fillers... and—DOO! DOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

''{All the food inexplicably disappears. The King passes the flashlight to Strong Sad and hurries off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so it turns out the robot had a human brain which was stolen from a kindly old man. And the children of that old man came to the robot looking for their father, and they called out to him.

''{Speech bubble with an exclamation point in it appears on the girl.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the robot's human brain remembered his children and his stolen life, and he was moved to tears. ''{robot starts to cry.}'' But the tears shorted out his circuits, and fried his brain. ''{Electric bolts appear on the Visor Robot's head}'' And the robot toppled over, and he crushed his children, and the Goblin, too. ''{Visor Robot falls on them and his brain comes out.}'' And none of them lived.

''{Cut to Bubs, Coach Z, and The King of Town crying.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{crying}'' Oh, jeez, what a total downer! ''{they walk away, still crying}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, I'm outta here!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{crying}'' That's the saddest story I've ever heard! You can't come to next year's party.

''{Marzipan walks away crying, while The Poopsmith sighs deeply and also walks away.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' Gee... thanks for coming to my party, Strong Sad. ''{sighs, walks away.}''

''{Everyone except Strong Sad leaves, and crickets start chirping. An owl hoots and a far-off wolf howls. Strong Sad clicks the flashlight on and off a few times, then the screen fades.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*With nine [[death]]s, this cartoon has a higher body count than any other cartoon on the website, including [[Teen Girl Squad]].
*This is the only time Coach Z is seen with a full complement of fingers.
*Strong Mad, The Cheat, The Poopsmith, and Coach Z never contributed to the ghost story, but the Poopsmith probably doesn't contribute to the story on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*This toon was "Written, drawn, and directed by Matt, Mike, and Craig". This is most likely [[Craig Zobel]].
*According to [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], the spooky trees in the background are just next to [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*This toon marks the first appearances of The Goblin, who has become something of a Halloween toon staple, as well as the [[Gremlin]], [[Pom Pom's Girls]], the Visor Robot, and the Sad Kids, which have all later reappeared in several toons.
*Marzipan has one of Pom Pom's girls hold up a Republican sign with an [[elephant]] on it.
*This marks the only major Halloween toon which [[Homsar]] doesn't appear in, due to the fact that he had not yet been created.

===Goofs===
*The birthmark on Strong Sad as [[Wikipedia:Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]] is on the wrong side of his head.
*When Homestar turns the flashlight on and off for Flashlight Ghost Storytelling with a Flashlight, his face isn't illuminated any better, so much as the rest of his body is cast into shadow.
*When Strong Sad turns the flash light on & off at the end, his hands do not move.
*Although the flash light has a sliding switch, it makes a sound like that of an on/off button.
*When Marzipan is weeping as she leaves, her mouth doesn't move. Also, Homestar's mouth doesn't move when he sighs.
*The Goblin's pupils shrink when he turns his head to look at the second girl.
*After the robot kicks the Gremlin, the front loses the double bumper.
*In the beginning, Strong Bad's right sleeve is off center, and hangs down below his shoulder.
*When the King of Town's imagined desserts fade away, one of the desserts changes color before fading. This is because the dessert is a tinted version of an existing dessert, and in Flash a symbol can not have its opacity and tint be modified at the same time, so it reverts to its original color.
*When Strong Bad leaves the party, his mouth disappears for a split second.
*Chris's eyes are transparent.

===Glitches===
*Once the [[opening credits]] end, there is a slight jump in the music.

===Inside References===
*[[The King of Town]] mentions "Strawberry frosted [[donuts]]."
*[[Strong Bad]] dressing up as Carmen Miranda is an example of [[cross-dressing]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z's opening line references the [[Wikipedia: Furious Five|Furious Five]], a pioneering rap group in the early '80s. The specific artist Coach Z refers to could either be [[Wikipedia:Grandmaster Flash|Grandmaster Flash]], the original leader of the Furious Five, or [[Wikipedia:Grandmaster Melle Mel|Grandmaster Melle Mel]], who led the group after Flash's departure.
*Bubs's description of the Gremlin is [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/quotes quoted] almost directly from the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0106677|Dazed And Confused]]''.
*The [[Wikipedia:flux capacitor|flux capacitor]] visible on the Gremlin is a reference to the ''[[Back to the Future]]'' movies.
*Strong Sad turning the flashlight on and off is possibly an homage to the movie ''[[imdb:tt0111149|Shallow Grave]]'', in which Christopher Eccleston's character turns a flashlight on and off into his face while spiralling into insanity.
*Homestar's shirt says "corporate rock still sucks", which is the motto of [[Wikipedia:SST Records|SST Records]], a favorite record label of Cobain's. Cobain once wore a shirt parodying the slogan on a famous [[Wikipedia:Rolling Stone|Rolling Stone]] cover saying "Corporate Magazines still suck". Also, his shoes look a lot like [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars]], which the video for [[Wikipedia:Smells Like Teen Spirit|Smells Like Teen Spirit]] helped to repopularize.
**It's also possibly a nod to certain ''[http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/TSHIRTS/NV204.jpg Nirvana shirts]''.
*Homestar's line "Coach Z is down with the PE" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Public Enemy|Public Enemy]] song "Burn Hollywood Burn", wherein guest-rapper [[Wikipedia:Ice Cube|Ice Cube]] raps "Ice Cube is down with the PE".
**This could be a play on words; PE could also stand for physical education, as Coach Z is allegedly a coach.
*The bear The Cheat has is Pooky, Garfield's teddy bear.
*[[Wikipedia: Edelbrock|Edelbrock]] is a seller of performace parts for [[Wikipedia: automobile|automobiles]].

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan's line, "You can't come to next year's party," was revisited in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], when Marzipan said, "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year." Then, in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]], he gets "literary justice" when he's invited to no one's party.
*The music that was used for the Flashlight Ghost Storytelling Using a Flashlight was used again in The House That Gave Sucky Treats and the Strong Bad e-mail [[theme park]] during "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*A slight variation of Homestar's "Corporate Rock Still Sucks" (the motto of SST Records) shirt was worn by Strong Sad in [[geddup noise]], which said "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".
*The Poopsmith later puts a pumpkin in his mouth in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].

== DVD Version ==
*The spot at the very end to see what the characters were dressed as has been removed.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' Oh, Mike, listen to how you can hear your fingers hitting the keys—

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' —on the little— yeah. ''{pause}'' They're kinda little ''puh puh puh'' clicky—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —holding a mic up to the Casio SK-1 keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Does that not have a line out?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it didn— it sounded crappy, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It just had to go from like an 8-inch to an adaptor, et cetera et cetera.

'''MIKE:''' So here's our first Halloween cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a really nice ''credit'' sequence... ''Mike''.

'''MIKE:''' ...Not sure why Matt is taking this tone with me, everyone!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' "Every single ''{clears his throat conspicuously}'' wanna see me."

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, interesting.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, The Cheat's costume, while he looks pretty good, wasn't very involved. It's just a pair of glasses... Garfield-looking glasses.

'''MATT:''' He has a very authentic Pooky, though... ''{Mike chuckles}'' for sure.

'''MIKE:''' I think the Mikhail Gorbachev still may be my favorite costume.

'''MATT:''' It's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Although ''his'' glasses don't have any, uh...

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' They're just taped to his face.

'''MIKE:''' And I think the Marzipan genie costume might be the least thought-out—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We just—

'''MIKE:''' It was the first one, but, everyone else's costumes are pretty good.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cap'n Crunch, that's a good... Ooh, Marzipan's old mouth.

'''MATT:''' ''{softly}'' Ooh, the— Oh... I don't think Kurt Cobain had that stringy of— his hair was that stringy.

'''MIKE:''' I don't— Our friend Craig made that hair.

'''MATT:''' Did he really? I didn't remember that. I know that Craig made the ladies, the hot ladies that show up in Pom Pom's story later on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he made, he made—

'''MATT:''' Did he make that headdress on, uh, the fruit basket headdress?

'''MIKE:''' No... I made that.

'''MATT:''' Oh. It looks good. Oh yeah, you drew that and scanned it in, didn't you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I think we still have the drawing of that in the old sketchbook.

'''MIKE:''' So Matt one time when he was... what do you think, you were three maybe?

'''MATT:''' Uh, nnnnyeah, may— four.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Four, probably four. It was right when we moved to Atlanta.

'''MIKE:''' There was his Halloween costume, it was this big inflatable head that you sort of have attached with this headgear of this Martian. Yeah, goblin?

'''MATT:''' He was a goblin, not a Martian, he was a gween gobolin.

'''MIKE:''' Our dad was interviewing him on Super 8, and said, "What do you dress up?" ''{imitating Matt's young, high-pitched voice}'' "''A gween gobolin!''"

'''MATT:''' It was true, man.

'''MIKE:''' Look, Bubs has no arms, Matt!!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' He has no arms!!

'''MATT:''' Good job, us!

'''MIKE:''' Who were we fooling?!

'''MATT:''' No one! ''{pause}'' These ladies are a little risqué for the website, honestly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Craig made them way too hot.

'''MIKE:''' Especially the way that one's kinda twisting her ankle like that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, she's—

'''MIKE:''' Look, she's funneling beers too!

'''MATT:''' They're party girls. Pom Pom's into the party girls. ''{pause}'' I remember Melissa made all these things up and I was amazed by her improvisational talents.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' I don't think I— I don't think I still— I didn't really like Melissa at that time, and I was really impressed. Naw, I was kidding. I liked Melissa plenty. ''{pause}'' He hates the Goblin Gremlin, Mike. ''{pause}'' Heh, the weird King of Town voice.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' —found it stride. There was really, what, like four or five different— oh, okay there was an impressive amount of different drawings, there. In my head that was a way bigger pile—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —than what I remember.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know why—

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' There's a lot of things that were invented from this cartoon: the goblin, the sad kids, that robot— the Visor Robot appeared.

'''MIKE:''' The Visor Robot.

'''MATT:''' Why is it called the Visor Robot?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno, I think the wiki— I didn— ''We'' didn't name it the Visor Robot, did we?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' But I ''call'' it the Visor Robot, ''{in a funny voice}'' don't I, Matt?

'''MATT:''' ''{in a funny voice similar to Coach Z's}'' Yeah, you do; you gotta listen to that wiki, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I like, watch the brain slide here.

Broken Compy Menu

DorianGray — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 12:21:14 GMT

DorianGray: It's probably just a nickname and not a reference to the character.

{{watchtoon|20041122 Broken Compy Menu.html|watch (mirror with short)|Mirror}}
[[Image:Shotgunned menu.png|thumb|"Homestar, did you come here for a reason?"]]

Homestar Runner complains about pricing while Bubs tries to unload the shotgunned [[Compy 386]]. The menu was created after the Compy 386 "died".

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Bubs}}

'''Places:''' [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]

'''Date:''' Monday, November 22, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 1:15

'''Page Title:''' Denny's Menu

'''Note:''' This short was no longer available as of November 29, 2004.

== Transcript ==
''{The shot opens with the shotgunned Compy 386 with a piece of paper taped to the front of it listing all the Strong Bad emails from [[some kinda robot]] to [[virus]] (some kinda robot to [[animal]] on versions with the toon removed). After about 10 seconds, Homestar Runner starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' You want how much?! That's preposterous! What kinda shady Bubs business you running here anyways? A Bubsness? ''{camera zooms out so we can see Homestar and the rest of the concession stand, with Bubs nowhere in sight}'' Why, I've got half a mind to report you, mister!

''{Bubs appears from the back of the concession stand as though walking up a staircase}''

'''BUBS:''' Doot doot doo... all right, I'm back!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Nothing!

'''BUBS:''' Who were you just talkin' to?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, nobody? Everybody? Strong... Mad?

'''BUBS:''' Strong Mad was up here? Where'd he go?

''{camera angle changes so that the camera is inside the concession stand looking outward}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubsy, I'm not gonna lie to you. He flew away.

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, ''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}'' did you come up here for a reason?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, freedom?

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Liberty! I mean, savings? Milk! Eggs! A low-priced automobile!

'''BUBS:''' Well, why didn't you say so? I've got one right here! ''{Bubs gestures toward the shotgunned Compy}'' Just in! Fresh from the factory goodness!

''{camera changes back to the interior view of the concession stand. Homestar performs several double takes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you trying to sell me a lemon?

'''BUBS:''' Homestar, I'm not gonna lie to you.

''{camera changes back to exterior view of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' You're not gonna find a better deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sold! Sold! ''{deeper voice}'' Sold!

''{The camera cuts back to the menu taped on the broken Compy 386}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This toon replaced the Compy 386 email menu after its destruction in [[virus]], and doubled as the replacement email menu.
*When the [[Tandy 400]] exploded, [[Broken Tandy Menu]] similarly replaced the usual email menu.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Lemon (automobile)|lemon]]", which Homestar refers to, is a defective car.

===Remarks===
*This toon also has a different filename than the usual Compy 386 Strong Bad email menu, so instead of being "[[HR:sbemail.swf|sbemail.swf]]", it was "[[HR:sbemail shotgunned.swf|sbemail_shotgunned.swf]]".
*We now know where both of Strong Bad's old computers were being held in the time period from [[virus]] to [[retirement]]. [[The King of Town]] had the [[Tandy 400]], and [[Homestar Runner]] had the [[Compy 386]].

===Goofs===
*The Compy 386 is missing the contrast dial.
*The font used for the email names does not include an underscore ('_') character, so 'sb_email 22' appears with a square instead of an underscore.
*The Compy 386 is shaped differently than it is seen from the side in [[fingers]].
*The notepad does not list the email [[virus]] as new after the camera zooms out to Bubs' Concession Stand.

===Glitches===
*If you let the animation start, the menu has a bug that causes the emails to count up from 0 instead of 1, so clicking on a title will direct you to the email one previous to it. This also means [[some kinda robot]] directed to 'sbemail0.html' and virus could only be accessed from the menu by clicking the very top of the word ''virus''. Also, [[flashback]] takes you to 'emailahundred.html' instead of 'sbemailahundred.html', whether or not you let the animation play.
**Similarly, after the animation plays, "car" links to sbemail100.html, "[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]"
**This glitch makes it impossible to watch [[different town]], since clicking it will direct you to [[stupid stuff]] (the email before it), and clicking on [[flashback]] (the email after) always directs to emailahundred.

===Inside References===
*Bubsness is an example of a [[portmanteau]].
*Homestar's claim about Strong Mad flying away is a [[blatant lie]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's lines about freedom, liberty and eggs may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett]] novel "Night Watch" in which the slogan of a violent revolution is "Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably-Priced Love! And a hard-boiled egg!"

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar Runner later asks for milk and eggs in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]].

DorianGray: It's called this now.

{{mainnav|11|10|12}}
[[Image:main11.png|thumb|220px|Homestar Runner—ACTION NEWS]]

Homestar hosts his own news broadcast.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' A newsroom

'''Icon:''' Channel 4 logo

'''Page Title:''' "More News at 11!"

==Button Effects==
[[Image:Weather.PNG|thumb|220px|"Today's forecast is total crap!"]]
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — [[:Wikipedia:Character generator|Chyron-style]] text "Homestar Runner—Action News" appears in the [[Wikipedia:Lower thirds|lower third]].
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — The lights in the buildings in the background disappear, and new lights appear in one of the buildings to form a star.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Some "over the shoulder" headlines and pictures appear. Cycles through four possible headlines.
:*"More than 2 Problems???" set against Coach Z's medallion with a picture of Coach Z's head.
:*"I Shoulda Won All Those Times!" set against a picture of Strong Bad's head with a smaller copy of the image in the foreground.
:*"[[Melonade]]: Over $2 per gallon?" set against a picture of three glasses of melonade with straws and ice.
:*"Seriously, I Really Shoulda Won All Those Times!" with the same picture as the second story.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — Cut to Strong Bad standing in front of a weather screen depicting the east of the United States, scattered with sun and rain symbols. He says, "Today's forecast is total [[crap]]!"
*'''[[Store]]''' — Some smoke appears, coming from one of the buildings.
*'''[[Email]]''' — The H*R logo is projected onto the night sky.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This, [[Main Page 7]] and [[Main Page 23]] are the only main pages where Homestar does not stand to the extreme right of the screen.
*The "Channel 4" logo that appears at the lower-right corner of the screen is called a ''[[Wikipedia:Digital On-screen Graphic|bug]]''.
*This main page is page 11 - and the title states "More news at 11!".

===Remarks===
*The [[font]] for the Chyron-style text and the over-the-shoulder headlines used to be [[Wikipedia:Gill Sans|Gill Sans]] (as seen in [http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/d/d4/20060819031517%21main11.png this screenshot]), but the current version of Main Page 11 uses the [[Wikipedia:Arial|Arial]] font instead.
*Strong Bad seems to have his old drawing style while everyone else has the current drawing style.

===Glitches===
*After removing your mouse from the Downloads button, you will see a quick flash of a blank screen of the copyright and main menu links.
*If you click Play when you right click, Strong Bad will take the place of Homestar until you mouse over downloads.

===Inside References===
*"More than 2 Problems???" is a reference to [[Who Said What Now?]].
*Strong Bad's face when you move your mouse over characters ("I shoulda won all those times!") is similar in style (but not color) to the one on the [[Strong Bad 404 Error Page|Old Error Page]].

===Real-World References===
*The projection of the H*R logo onto the sky is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Bat-Signal|Bat-Signal]] from the [[Batman]] franchise.
*The comment on Melonade being 'over $2 a gallon' is a play on the rising gasoline prices around the world, and the ways news sources report them.
*Channel 4 Action News is a possible reference to [http://www.wsbtv.com/index.html Channel 2 Action News], an [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] news program.
*"More News At 11" refers to the fact that late newscasts in the Eastern and Pacific time zones often broadcast at 11:00pm. It could also be a reference to the fact that the main page is number 11 on the menu, or, to a lesser extent, the song by the rap group Public Enemy.

[[Image:New Toons Menu.png|thumb|300px|The new stuff menu]]

The '''Toons''' are a central part of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. Most cartoons that don't fall under the category of [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]] are listed here. So have fun in your living room!

The toons list features the toon's name, a 3-letter abbreviation relating to the toon, a brief description, the toon's length and release year, and a brief animated preview that appears on the [[TeeBee]] when you hover over each title. (anything in parentheses is in old [[TV Time Toons Menu]], and Slashes for the same thing.]
(Other parentheses are for [[TV Time Toons Menu|current Toons menu]].)

Homsar

DorianGray — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 09:17:31 GMT

DorianGray: This doesn't have anything to do with Homsar as a character, and is already more appropriately mentioned on Homsar Main Page and Main Pages

{{charnav|Homsar|homsar|The Poopsmith|Homestar Runner}}
{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|homsar}}
[[Image:homsar evolution current.png|thumb|{{homsarquote}}]]

== Biography ==
'''Homsar''' is perhaps the strangest and most enigmatic of all the [[Characters#Main characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. He was originally created as a result of a typo in the [[Strong Bad Email|email]] [[homsar]], in which Vinnie C. asked, "If you hate Homsar so much, why don't you kill him?" (Presumably, Vinnie had actually meant to type "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]".) [[Strong Bad]] promptly dropped a [[Heavy Lourde]] on Homsar and left him for [[Death|dead]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] later decided to keep Homsar as a main character, and they brought him back in an Easter egg in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] and in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], where he thanked [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital.

Homsar occasionally makes brief appearances in various cartoons, often in Easter eggs (and has even been referred to as the "secret guy"). With the exception of [[Which Ween Costumes?]], Homsar has appeared in an [[Easter egg]] somewhere in the middle of every [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)|Halloween toon]] since his introduction. These eggs are typically triggered by clicking somewhere on or near [[The Poopsmith]].

[[Image:3dhomsar.png|thumb|140px|{{homsarquote|72|94}}]]

Homsar doesn't have very many friends other than [[Strong Sad]] and Marzipan. Most of the other characters generally regard him as a nuisance. In particular, Strong Bad seems to dislike him the most; he states in [[interview]] that he would rather gnaw his own leg off than talk to him for 3 seconds. [[Bubs]] apparently refuses to talk to him, as evidenced in [[Where's The Cheat?]]. Despite his unpopularity, he serves in the [[Homestarmy]] and occasionally attends parties where the other main characters are present. He enjoys playing board games with Strong Sad, and has organized his own activities, such as a [[tree hugging]] concert and the play "[[stupid stuff|Butt's Twelve by Pies]]" (starring Lighting and Set Decoration). He ran the Merch Masala on the [[Cool Tapes]] tour in [[Weclome Back]] and played a [[Wikipedia:Theremin|theremin]] in Strong Bad's band in [[Baddest of the Bands]].

In the email [[interview]], Strong Bad, using a pen puppet, claimed that Homsar was "raised by a cup of coffee" (also mentioned by the narrator in Strong Badia the Free when you take over the [[Homsar Reservation]]: "raised by a cup of coffee indeed"). In [[fan club]], Homsar proclaimed that he was "the son of a [[Wikipedia:Chipwich|Chipwich]]", and an Easter egg revealed a photo of a cup of coffee and an ice cream sandwich labeled "Homsar's Parents".

Homsar was the winner of a month-long sales competition between himself and Senor Cardgage for the title of [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]. The topic was brought up in [[fan club]], and the loser had to complete a coherent thought as punishment on Homestar Runner's [[The Show]]. (It was later annouced that [[Senor Cardgage]] was the loser.)

*'''Debut:''' Email [[homsar]]
*[[:Category:Homsar Filmography|Complete Filmography]]

==Distinctive Characteristics==

===Speech===
Homsar's most distinct characteristic is his unusual manner of speaking, which has varied over time. His tone of voice is generally quite exaggerated, and he often begins sentences by wailing "DAaAAaaAAaaAAaa!". His speech tends to range from perfectly normal English to often random and disconnected phrases that have little to no connection to the scene. Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Wikipedia:Receptive aphasia|Receptive aphasia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is often intact, but the words themselves have no particular meaning), but this is not always the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.

It has been argued that his unusual speech patterns are the result of being crushed by the Heavy Lourde. This could be evidenced by the fact that in [[homsar]], he is able to speak "normally" to Strong Bad. Some find this unlikely, considering that he was able to speak more or less normally when he called Marzipan after that event. Others suggest that it is possible that the negative effect was a delayed reaction.

As shown in [[DNA Evidence]], he can make his voice sound like a whole crowd of people, even when he is alone. In [[Happy Dethemberween]], he and Strong Sad demonstrate that he can also make chiming noises when hit on the head.

In ''[[Strong Badia the Free]]'', Strong Sad describes him as speaking an entirely different language altogether. Strong Bad briefly gains complete understanding of Homsar's language by utilizing a nearby "pylon". He is the only one who understands Homsar, however (as evidenced by a quick view of the conversation from Strong Sad's perspective, in which Homsar not only sounds normal, but Strong Bad is speaking in word salads as well), and at the end of the conversation, the pylon is destroyed, ending Strong Bad's ability to understand him. This version of Homsar has a distinctly different voice (like a stereotypical Native American, which Strong Bad describes as "soothing"), and quite visibly understands everything that's going on around him in a very coherent manner, though he also has a tendency to talk a lot.

===Homsar and the Laws of Physics===
[[Image:Homfloat.PNG|thumb|Homsar floating in [[The Field]].]]
Another bizarre aspect of Homsar is his ability to defy the laws of physics through means that are not entirely explained. In many cases it would appear that Homsar can bend reality to his will, performing feats that other characters cannot. Various feats of science defiance include levitation (as demonstrated in [[narrator]], his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]], [[A Folky Tale]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], [[the paper]], [[Strong Badia the Free]], [[Baddest of the Bands]] and [[mini-golf]]), self-duplication ([[Fall Float Parade]] and [[Happy Dethemberween]]), sound manipulation ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[DNA Evidence]], [[Happy Dethemberween]], and [[Strong Badia the Free]]), possible time manipulation ([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]), teleporting ([[for kids]]), possible metamorphosis (as seen in [[impression]], though this hypothesis is disputed), retracting his head like a turtle ([[Happy Hallow-day]]), morphing/bending terrain (Homsar homepage), and can possibly cause (or at least reflect back) the [[jibblies]] ([[Jibblies 2]]). On top of this, Homsar's yellow [[bowler hat]] can levitate and float around, as well as transmute into different shapes (e.g an engineer's cap as seen in his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Character Video]]). It is possible that this hat, which levitates when Homsar speaks (including when he is upside down, as in [[cliffhangers]]), is actually being manipulated, as opposed to just flying about on its own. Homsar is, after all, a character [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacking visible arms]]. However, Homsar's solo in the music video [[One Two, One Two]] involves his hat flying farther than arms on a character his size would allow. Another theory for this is that Homsar, and quite possibly the other characters lacking arms, have limited psycho-kinetic abilities. Indeed, it appears that the laws of both science and logic do not apply to Homsar. The powers of Executive Meddling in recreating Fiction also do not apply, as evidenced in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], where he doesn't get changed into a hip new character, unlike the rest of the cast (he is in fact called "Still Homsar").

In [[Strong Badia the Free]], after the "secession", Homsar lives in a place called the "Homsar Reservation." Everything in this location seems to defy the laws of physics as much as Homsar himself. Examples of this phenomenon are floating and moving rocks, ripples in the sky, and a strange rock structure with the ability to make others understand his language. Strong Bad is also seen defying the laws of physics by floating like Homsar whilst the rock structure is in full effect.

===Similarity to Homestar Runner===
In terms of general appearance, Homsar bears a striking resemblance to [[Homestar Runner]]. Although he is grossly exaggerated, pigeon-toed, and more curved, he and Homestar share [[Wikipedia:Prognathism|underbites]], clothing style (a hat and shirt), feet style, shading, skin color, and a [[lack of visible arms]]. As he was originally a misspelling of "Homestar", it is logical that Homsar is somewhat of a badly-drawn Homestar. Strong Bad remarks upon this in the email [[for kids]], where he refers to Homsar as a "blue midget Homestar". Homestar himself even calls Homsar "Homestar" in [[looking old]]. In [[Baddest of the Bands]] Strong Bad calls him "you misspelling" and when Homestar is impressed with him, curses the letters E and T for preventing him from being as cool as Homsar. Despite their appearances, Homestar claims that he and Homsar are not actually related in the [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD#DVD Credits|SBCG4AP Collector's DVD Credit Sequence]].

===Naming of Other Characters (and Himself)===
Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). When asked for an Autograph for Homsar by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Baddest of the Bands]], Marzipan signs herself, "Matzah Ball", indicating that is what he calls her. One might reason that the epithet is used due to the fact that both monikers have the same starting letter and amount of syllables. They are also both foods. Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) hardly make sense. This is assuming that he is speaking to/about these characters and that he is not just disoriented or believes he is talking to someone else. His way of naming may also be used to describe how a character looks at the time, like when he called The Cheat "chocolate cake" when The Cheat was covered in [[whatsit]]. Homsar also thinks up strange names for himself, such as "Homsar, the captain of the gravy train", "the human wedgie", "a friendly reminder", "A knock-knock joke about jogging suits", and "a song from the '60s". Homsar doesn't seem to repeat any of his made-up names (except a song from the '60s), in keeping with his tendency to forget or disregard things or become confused. Homsar has also been named by others, like when Homestar called him "the secret guy" or when Strong Bad referred to him as "America's favorite blue midget Homestar".

===Walking===
Homsar has pigeon-toed feet that move incredibly fast, but his movement is very slow. Also, whenever Homsar walks, he makes a peculiar fluttery noise, although this sound effect is not present in [[Strong Badia the Free]]. Some other characters have also [[Sound Effects#homsar walking|made this noise]].

== Fun Facts ==
*Homsar is the only main character with no [[Old-Timey]] or [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] counterpart. In fact, he has only one character variation (not including style changes) - the least of any main character.
*Homsar's coloring is similar to that of the unused character [[Homeschool Winner]].
*Homsar is the only male character with an animated girl variation, Modestly Hot Homsar. (see [[#Variations|below]])
*The [[font]] on Homsar's shirt is [[Fonts#B|Bauhaus93]].
*Besides [[Homestar Runner]], he was the only one not to get the [[Jibblies]] in [[Jibblies 2]]. In fact, the opposite effect occurs when the [[Horrible Painting]] gets the Jibblies instead.

Schwa

DorianGray — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 10:57:40 GMT

DorianGray: Already listed

[[File:Sketchbook-4-12-07.PNG|thumb|That no-talent schwa sound]]

In phonetics, '''[[Wikipedia:schwa|schwa]]''' refers to a short, unstressed and toneless vowel sound. Some examples of schwas in the English language are the 'a' in about, the 'i' in pencil, and the 'o' in eloquent. Visually, it is represented by an upside down 'e' ('''ə'''). References to this linguistic feature have occasionally surfaced in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.

== Appearances ==
* Email [[from work]] — [[Strong Sad]] mentions that he used to be in charge of the schwa sound at dictionary.com.
* [[Sketchbook 2007#SK-2007-04-12|Sketchbook - April 12, 2007]] — [[The Poopsmith]] is depicted as "The Schwasmith", with the schwa symbol on his chest.
* [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] — [[Trogdor]] is seen [[burninate|burninating]] the schwa symbol in [[Trogdor: Let's Burninate Phonics]].
* Email [[dictionary]] — [[Strong Bad]] dismisses the schwa as "that no-talent schwa sound", before going into his language's own "guttural utterances".

'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', was originally a small feature in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. The animations were initially brief, but gradually the responses grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], such as [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Hremails]], [[Strong Badia]], the minor character [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email includes numerous [[Easter egg]]s and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[japanese cartoon]], [[video games]], and [[theme song]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

Introduced in 2001, Strong Bad Email has historically been the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]], but was put on hiatus from September 2008 to June 2009. [[The Brothers Chaps]] stated in interviews that they wanted to focus on other characters and vary their output.[http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&category2=&article_no=3983&page=1] Email 200 just happened to be a round number at which to take a break.[http://omgnintendo.blogfaction.com/article/108144/one-year-of-wiiware-matt-and-mike-chapman-on-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people/] In October 2009 Strong Bad Email went on another hiatus and no Strong Bad Emails have been made since (the last to date was [[videography]]).

With the October 5, 2009 update, a link to the [[Store]] page where [[Store_CD/DVDs|DVDs of the emails]] could be purchased was added on a [[sticky note]].

==Milestones==
Whenever Strong Bad reaches an email milestone, such as 100 or 200, the email will be special or at least some note will be taken. Thus far, five emails have been considered milestones.

*50. [[50 emails]] — Strong Bad checks 50 emails (or attempts to) in honor of it being his 50th email check.
*100. [[flashback]] — The email is done in widescreen. [[Marzipan]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Old Timey Strong Bad]], and [[Limozeen]] congratulate him on his 100th email. Upon the Compy indicating that he has checked 100 emails with a special screen, Strong Bad says "email" 100 times. [[Homestar]] says "Happy 100th birthday, Strong Bad".
*125. [[rock opera]] — features scenes and at least one word from all of Strong Bad's emails.
*150. [[alternate universe]] — Strong Bad goes into many alternate universes featuring alternate versions of himself, which at the end accompany him in a supergroup ballad. Called the "sesquicentennemail".
*200. [[email thunder]] — The email song is a grand fanfare written by [[They Might Be Giants]] and sung by [[The Poopsmith]]. The email also ends with a screen listing the first 200 emails.

Frequently, a "teaser" toon is released a week before a milestone email in order to play off the anticipation for the upcoming milestone. The teaser toons so far have been [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (teasing viewers hoping to view email 100 before it was released); [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (in which Strong Sad tries to convince Strong Bad to check email 150 and writes a proposed storyboard for it); [[Place ya bets!]] (in which [[the Deleteheads]] speculate on what will happen in email 200); and [[Page Load Error]] (in which the Deleteheads camp out at the sbemail200.html URL).

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy, Corpy or Compé-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 234 emails as of [[videography]].
*As of [[being mean]], it would take 9 hours, 42 minutes, and 34 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*As of [[the movies]], Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[Secret_Pages_XML_Source#Random_Toon_XML_File|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], [[redesign]], and [[hremail3184]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.
*Holding down the left mouse button and the tab key at the same time caused the area you pressed to go white (only for Lappy-era emails). You can move the mouse in the area without the original spot going away, however if you leave the original area, the spot goes away (you can also create new dots, as long as they are partly overlapping another dot).

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], [[retirement|retirement B]] after when the Lappy was kidnapped, and after [[hremail3184]] when the Lappy is destroyed, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.
*If you clicked the random.bat button on the Lappy after [[hremail3184]] was released, Strong Bad would still say the things during the random email selection even though he wasn't still there.
*The Strong Bad Email menu of the Corpy NT6 lacked a random button; however, Strong Bad sung his lines for selecting a random email and a random email will be selected by using a Flash seekbar.
*The Compé menu lacked a random button from its introduction until August 31, 2009, when a new scroll button song was also released. During this time, right clicking and using the play button would give the random button effect, but the email that was selected would be displayed in the Lappy's font.
*The Compé Email Menu zooms in before Strong Bad finishes double-clicking it.
*The Compé Email Menu's "go rando!" button is clickable, even when zooming in.
*When Strong Bad's head moves, his mask protrudes the top of his head.

Welcome to '''The Stick'''. The [[Homestarmy]] — er, the [[HRWiki:About|Homestar Runner Wiki]] wants ''you''! Together we are building a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] knowledge-base and a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] community. You can edit and create articles on the Homestar Runner Wiki right now. Learn how to get started at the [[HRWiki:Introduction|Introduction]] (or just play around in our [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]).

If you haven't done so already, you may want to [[Special:UserLogin/signup|create an account]] here on the wiki ([[HRWiki:Why create an account?|why?]]). You can also register at our [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] for more community interaction (note that registration at the forum is a separate process from registering here on the wiki). Before you do any significant editing, please familiarize yourself with the [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]] and the [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|manual of style]].

*LOOK ROPE - "It looks okay. You've seen better."

With this new knowledge, ye escapes from yon dungeon in order to search for new dungeons and to remain... THY DUNGEONMAN!! You hath won! Congraturation!! Your score was: ___"
*GIVE TRINKET (without actually having the TRINKET) - "Thou don'tst have a trinket to give. Go back to your tiny life."

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Congraturation" is a reference to the [[Deliberately Poor English|bad Japanese to English translation]] (or [[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]) found in many old video games, especially the [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts 'n Goblins]]''. Japanese doesn't have an R or an L sound, but rather a sound which is somewhat between the two called a reflexive R. (Position the tongue for an "L" but vocalize an "R".) Thus R and L tend to sound the same to Japanese people, and are often mixed up by them when writing or speaking English. The ending of Ghosts n' Goblins can be found [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/ghosts_b.htm here].
*A parapet is a low protective wall or railing along the edge of a raised structure such as a roof or balcony.
* A trinket is "cheap showy jewelry or ornament on clothing"
**Bauble is a synonym of trinket.
*A magistrate is a lay judge or civil authority who administers the law (especially one who conducts a court dealing with minor offenses).

===Trivia===
* The "get dagger" command is probably from the unreleased Strong Bad email [[E-mail Birds]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD, in which Strong Bad plays a text adventure and tries to get a dagger but fails. However, there is no way to confirm this at present, as it is unknown whether [[E-mail Birds]] was created before or after the email [[video games]].
* The quip "you wonder what parapets are," as Matt reveals in the DVD commentary for the email [[video games]], is based on his experiences playing a text adventure that had parapets and he thought that if he found out what parapets were, it'd help him win the game.
** The game Matt is referring to is most likely "Vampire Castle," a short text adventure whose initial setting was limited to a few rooms, one of which was the exterior of the castle parapets. Since escaping the initial setting into the rest of the game required a very tricky twist of logic in one of the other rooms, many young players got stuck worrying about manipulating the castle parapets.

===Remarks===
*Despite the game not telling you "why on Earth you can't get Ye Flask" in [[video games]], this time you are told that "it is firmly bolted to a wall which is bolted to the rest of the dungeon which is probably bolted to a castle".
**Also in "video games", the message is "Ye see a FLASK". In the actual game, the message is "Ye see a SCROLL. Behind ye scroll is a FLASK".
*When you receive the "Play again? [Y/N]" message, pressing N does nothing.
*Yon dungeon actually means "That dungeon over there".
*Adding "-est" or "-st" to a word indicates in Early Modern English that it is a present tense verb in the second person singular.
*Adding "-eth" or "-th" to a word indicates in Early Modern English that it is a present tense verb in the third person singular.
*"Deau" has never actually been a word in the English language.
*"Ye" is derived from þe, with the letter thorn replaced by the letter Y due to Romanization. It also means "the", and was usually pronounced as such. It is often confused with a different "ye", which means "you" (usually plural) and is pronounced as spelled.
*"Thy" in Early Modern English actually means "your".

===Goofs===
*When you enter the embankment/chasm, the game will always say you can see a trinket, even if you have picked it up already.
*After you lose, press the down arrow a few times repeatedly and your score will go down. But this also messes up the text making the same text appear below 'Play Again[Y/N]'.
*When you type "drink", a reply is supposed to be displayed that says, "Thou aren'est thirsty, last time thou checked." However, an error in the flash file's script doesn't allow it to recognize the command.

=== Real-World References===
* The text "You smell a Wumpus" (from the command SMELL) is a reference to the game "[[Wikipedia:Hunt the Wumpus|Hunt the Wumpus]]," one of the very first text adventures. If the player was one room away from the Wumpus, the game would give the warning "You smell the Wumpus." It is also used as a floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container#hunt the wumpus|Floppy Disk Container]] in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]].
* When you type "get [[ye flask|flask]]" three times, the text "You unbolt the flask and hold it aloft" is a possible reference to most Legend of Zelda games, where after Link got an item from a chest he would hold it above his head for the player to see.
* The page title, "Thy Dungeonman! Thy Hunger!" is a reference to the old arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Sinistar|Sinistar]]''. In ''Sinistar'' you battled a large spaceship shaped like a head that would say, "I hunger!".
* "Bauble" is a common inside joke in text adventures relating to [[Wikipedia:Zork I|Zork I]], in which someone would wind the clockwork canary, resulting in the creation of a "bauble."

===Fast Forward===
*[[Thy Dungeonman II]] features a magistrate.

__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
''{Open to Strong Bad standing in a field in autumn, wearing a turkey costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Dun dun dadun dun DUN! Oh, I'm some stupid turkey, as stupid as they come! Cut off my head,

''{An axe, swung from above, cuts the "turkey" head from Strong Bad's costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' stuff me with bread,

''{With a "pop!", a loaf of [[bread]] appears in the "turkey" head's beak.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' go and suck your thumb!

''{The Cheat, Homestar Runner, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Coach Z appear from behind Strong Bad.}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Go... and... suck... your...

'''ALL (except Coach Z and The Cheat):''' ''{singing}'' thuuuuuuumb! 
'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing, simultaneously}'' theeerrrrrrmb!
 
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{singing, simultaneously}'' meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now let us go and partake of our wonderous feast!

''{Screen blanks with buttons reading "Back" and "Play Again" appearing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, wait a minute! Where's The King of Town?

''{Cut to the King of Town, who is much fatter than usual, and lying down behind an overturned table amidst dozens of cleared plates, a fish skeleton, and a platter holding the ribs of some meaty animal. He turns green for a split second, then his face goes back to normal.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo hoo ooh..oooh....''{hiccups}'' More gravy, please!

''{The King of Town slowly turns greener. The "Back" and "Play Again" buttons reappear.}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
* Though Strong Bad still has a bit of his Mexican accent, he is now starting to sound a bit more like he does today.
* The final "Go and suck your thumb" is in stereo. For example, notice how Homestar is only on the left channel.
* The title description used to say "Strong Bad gives thanks while the King tanks", but was later changed to "Strong Bad gives thanks". Now it says "Strap on that feed bag!!".

=== Remarks ===
*When the Back and Play Again buttons come up for the first time, they aren't clickable.
*At the end, the King of Town's face becomes greener and greener the longer you watch, but it eventually stops.
*As noted in Trivia, when everyone is singing "Go and suck your thumb", Homestar's voice is separate from all the others. If you pause the Flash file when the line is sung, Homestar's voice continues singing anyway.
*This toon was originally a belated Thanksgiving toon, having been released significantly after Thanksgiving of 2001.
*Five of the main characters appear from [[Hammerspace]].
**Additionally, the axe swings down from out of Hammerspace.
*When the King of Town hiccups in the end, he may or may not be suffering a "heart attack", as he does in [[record book]], when Strong Bad inqures about his "hiccups".

===Goofs===
* When Homestar talks, his hat moves up and down.

=== Inside References ===
*[[The King of Town]]'s line, "More gravy, please!" is a reference to his line, "More butter, please," which appears in [[Who Said What Now?]]

=== Real-World References ===
* The position of Strong Bad's turkey costume with its enormous plumage resembles the famous [[Wikipedia:National Broadcasting Company logos#NBC Peacock logos|NBC peacock]], especially prior to the current version of the six-feather peacock. The original peacock had eleven feathers, which is just one short of Strong Bad's costume, which features twelve feathers.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' I did this... on Thanksgiving. I didn't think of it until Thanksgiving, and put it up, like, at— at 11:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That was when I lived in New York and I did it all myself.

'''MIKE:''' There's some size issues happening with all those characters!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, not to scale.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't think that any of them are correct. ''{Homestar invites all to partake of the wonderous feast}'' ''{sadly}'' Okay...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I— I did remember I like this King of Town, uh, all the plates.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Stacked-up plates.

'''MATT:''' Were you impressed with my style?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, 'cause Matt did this one all by himself.

'''MATT:''' ''{stifles laughter}'' Those very flat... hills in the background. And there's shading on them.

'''MIKE:''' Not ''advanced'' shading, anyway.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' No-ho, sir!

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm doin' a party, I'm makin' it happen, on Strong Bad Email.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: the cheat</div>
Strong bad, 
For a long time i've been wondering.... How far can you 
throw the cheat? If you don't want to do that, could you 
beat the crud out of homestar for no reason? 
 
Lewis Rudkin 
Essex, England.
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads Essex as "S X"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Y'know, it's funny how this always seems to work out, Rudkin... ''{clears screen}'' but those just happen to be the first two events in the Strong Badathlon!

''{cuts to Strong Badathlon logo, slowly zooming in. Strong Badia is visible in the background. Trumpet music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, they also happen to be my two worst events. The Cheat Chuck is consistently dominated by the Kenyans. I mean the Poopsmith. Ever since he devised the Whatsitburied Slop

''{As he says this, it cuts to the Poopsmith next to a pile of whatsit, and then uses his shovel to fling a whatsit-covered The Cheat out of the pile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...that guy's unbeatable!

''{Cut to Coach Z standing next to the distance markers, watching The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Cheat noises as he flies through the air}''

'''COACH Z:''' Holy gorsh! It looks like a new record!

''{Cuts to Homsar and Marzipan sitting at a table having tea}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The Cheat flies onto the table, causing whatsit to fly onto Marzipan's face and onto the camera, smearing it on the lens.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Aah!

'''HOMSAR:''' Well, hello, chocolate cake!

''{Cuts to results board of the Strong Badathlon}''
:''Results 2007 StrongBadathlon''
:The Cheat Chuck
:: The Poopsmith......211pts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating is another event you'd think I'd be the best at. But the reigning champion seems to have intimate knowledge of Homestar's weak points.

''{As he speaks, it cuts to Homestar walking onto the screen with a sweat band and athletic outfit on.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{punches himself in the stomach}'' Come on you little so and so. ''{slaps himself in the face, then punches himself in the stomach}'' Is that all you got? ''{punches himself in the side, then the face}'' Oh yeah? Oh yeah? You think you got it like that? ''{punches himself 3 times}'' Whaddya think this is, you little placemat? ''{gets hit in face once}'' A diaper show? ''{gets hit in stomach once more}'' It's not a diaper show. ''{gets hit in stomach again}'' I think that's pretty obvious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, man, we should start putting those Homestar Vs. Homestar fights on pay-per-view. Instant classics! And speaking of pay-per-view,

''{Cuts to Strong Bad sitting in the Basement, with a "Remote Put" graphic in the upper left hand corner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Next up is the Remote Put.

''{Cuts to the TV with a "Ready?" graphic on the screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice over, reading text that appears on screen}'' Cute little girl from sit-com sings patriotic song.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dargh, I freakin' hate that little kid! Why'd they ever bring her on the show?! ''{throws remote}'' Agh!

''{The remote hits the wall, breaking in two, causing the batteries to fly out. Graphic comes on screen, accompanied with a buzzer noise, graphic reads "DISQUALIFICATION! BATTERY FAULT!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? These games are fixed! Check the East German's pants! Check the--

''{Cuts through static to results screen}''
:''Results 2007 StrongBadathlon''
:The Cheat Chuck
:: The Poopsmith......211pts.
:Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating
:: Homestar Runner....319pts.
:Remote Put
:: Cherry Greg........11pts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Our coverage of the 2007 Strong Badathlon continues with the Clean and Jerk... Strong Mad's Underwears... Over His Head. Fortunately, you don't really have to clean them.

''{Cuts to Strong Bad and Coach Z standing behind Strong Mad, whose underwear is sticking out of his singlet, with a ruler against his back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh, are you trying to tell me that this man doesn't already have a wedgie of illegal proportions?

'''COACH Z:''' Nope, that's the reggalation starting point.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it, I'm boycotting these games.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THANK THE LORD!!

:Clean and Jerk Strong Mad's Underwears Over His Head
:: Pom Pom............6 billion pts

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' And finally, my strongest event, ''{graphic appears, and adds new picture with each word}'' Probably Something with Guitars, lasers, Robots, and Hot Girls.

''{Cut to Powered By The Cheat cartoon. A version of the Strong Badathlon logo morphs into a cloud at the top right corner as Strong Bad, with laser arms, fires at robots walking in the background. A woman with a green-and-white striped shirt walks by; when she walks past Strong Bad, he can be seen through the green stripes.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' ''{laser noises, shoots robots}'' Hey, wait, look Laconic, I got- I won the Good medal.

''{With one laser-hand, he holds up a "Good medal". Cut to a Powered By The Cheat version of The Cheat playing the guitar. The word "Streisand" appears across the screen (going off the right side of it) as someone says it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And after all the medals have been given to the wrong athletes, we come to the ending closimonies, celebrating poor sportsmanship, drug testing, and good ol' fashioned people twirling ribbons.

''{Cuts to Strong Sad and Marzipan twirling ribbons on a stage.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Togetherness.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Togetherness.

'''MARZIPAN and STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Encircling the World.

''{Homestar, with a white show suit over his shirt, jumps down and knocks Strong Sad and Marzipan off the stage.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and dancing with his legs rapidly moving}'' Just take those old glasses off the shelf...

''{Fireworks go off in the background to the tune of 'Old Time Rock and Roll', then a cut to Strong Bad sitting at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Rudkin Shampoo. Someteen Days of Glory! And after the closimonies, most BadAthletes immediately begin filming product endorsements while their names are still fresh in our minds.

''{Cuts to Strong Bad sitting in a kitchen with a box of cereal and a bowl.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, wipe my brow. ''{he swipes sweat off his face}'' Winning gold medals ''{he holds up one}'' takes a lot of hard cereal, and dedication. That's why I eat ''{hold up box}'' Temporarios! The official cereal of athletes you won't remember in two weeks! ''{cuts to a shot of the box and bowl of cereal with two gold medals hanging off the side of it}'' Temporarios, ''{speech bubble comes out of box}'' "Cuz I'm Don't Get Paid!"

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Athlon" in "strong badathlon" means "contest" in Greek (αθλον), and is found in the names of such events as the [[Wikipedia: biathlon|biathlon]], [[Wikipedia:triathlon|triathlon]], [[Wikipedia: pentathlon|pentathlon]], [[Wikipedia: heptathlon|heptathlon]], and [[Wikipedia: decathlon|decathlon]].
*East Germany, or the [[Wikipedia:German Democratic Republic|German Democratic Republic]], was a [[Wikipedia: Communism|Communist]] state that existed prior to the fall of the [[Wikipedia:Berlin Wall|Berlin Wall]] and dominated several Olympic events, in part because of their athletes' prolific use of [[Wikipedia:Steroids|steroids]].
*Olympic athletes often rely on product endorsements for income due to [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games#Amateurism and professionalism|Olympic amateurism regulations]].
*[[Wikipedia: Kenya|Kenyan]] athletes are noted for dominating the sport of [[Wikipedia: distance running|distance running]].
*The "clean and jerk" is a part of [[Wikipedia: weightlifting|weightlifting]].
*Though the next Summer Olympics weren't until 2008, many Olympic-style competitions had been held around the time this email came out.

===Trivia===
*Before The Paper comes down, you can see the words "Side Words" on the side of the Temporarios box.
**This is also visible when Strong Bad first holds up the box.
*This is the first occurence of [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad makes up his own olympics to answer some moron."
* This email marks the premiere of Homestar's new half-bent legs with rounded knees (see top image). Previous versions had pointed knees up until this point.

===Remarks===

Blatant Lies

DorianGray — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:24:41 GMT

DorianGray: This might be more of an inconsistancy

[[Image:Notswimpractice.PNG|thumb|"On Saturdays, I certainly '''don't''' wake up at 6 A.M., put on a [[Wikipedia:Speedo|Speedo]], and go to swim practice. Nope. Definitely not Speedo."]]
Several [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters, most notably [[Strong Bad]], have been known to '''lie blatantly''' to one another or to the audience, often in an attempt to persuade others of the veracity of a situation, when in fact the opposite is extremely obvious. Sometimes the contradiction isn't immediately blatant, but always later on is revealed to be an obvious, deliberate lie. Sometimes the lie is blatant because it is admitted or proven to be a lie, other times because it is impossible the liar is telling the truth, and still other times the lie is so poorly constructed that one can't help but know it's a lie. Generally, blatant lies are most frequently used to cover up some embarrassing fact about the liar, or (especially in Strong Bad's case) to make the liar seem better. The facts that are lied about are also often brought up by the liar himself, without there being any previous accusation. Whatever the reason, blatant lies are the frequent lies that are, quite clearly, the worst and most ineffective practices of deceit in the [[Homestar Runner universe]].

==Appearances==

*Email [[huttah!]] — Strong Bad asserts that cheese and an anvil are two of the finest things in life, after [[The Cheat]] walks in on his claiming that The Cheat resembles these two items.

Furthermore, Strong Bad claims that he thinks The Cheat doesn't have a computer, but this was after he used The Cheat's computer in [[weird dream]].
*Email [[stunt double]] — Strong Bad says that he doesn't use a stunt double. When ''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1'' is then shown, it is obvious that [[Strong Sad]] is Strong Bad's stunt double.
*Email [[caffeine]] — Strong Bad finishes his presentation about giving Strong Sad caffeine by suggesting that he had died. Strong Sad immediately protests from off camera and Strong Bad tells him to be quiet. He then concludes with Strong Sad being adopted. Strong Sad protests that "that's not true either!"

*Email [[crying]] — When Strong Bad begins to sniffle over [[Li'l Brudder]], he runs off claiming that he just has "a food" in the oven.

**He also claims that his marker is a "light pen".

*Email [[senior prom]] — Strong Bad claims that he got a message on his "answering machine" from "Delilelia". It is obvious that he is the one providing the girl's voice, and that the "answering machine" is just a clock radio with a cassette tape on top.

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

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

===Marzipan's Answering Machine===
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]]
**After leaving Marzipan a prank call, Strong Bad calls back for baking advice, insisting that he is calling her for the first time that day.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0]]

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]]
**When Coach Z calls, he accidentally lets it slip that he breaks into Marzipan's house, but then tries to take it back and then talk about curly fries.
**When Strong Bad calls, he says that tofu is made from baby seals.

===SBCG4AP===
*[[Homestar Ruiner]]
**When calling Coach Z his answering machine states "You've reached the cordless cell phone, and not the public pay-phone, of Coach Z."
**When asking Homestar or Marzipan why he wasn't invited to Homestar's victory party, both of them claim it's because the other dislikes Strong Bad. While Homestar's claim is true, Marzipan's claim that Homestar dislikes him is most likely a lie.
**Another instance involving the party: When asking Marzipan why he wasn't invited she asks him if he remembered the last time she invited him to a party. After having a detailed flashback of the event, Strong Bad replies "Uhh... no."
**Shortly after the instance listed above, Strong Bad notices that the party seems to focus more on Marzipan's garden than Homestar's unlikely victory. When he questions Marzipan, she denies it claiming she would never put her award winning vegetable garden before "...uuhh...". After Strong Bad said "Homestar" for her, she replied, "Right! Homsar."
*[[Strong Badia the Free]]
**When Strong Bad asks Strong Sad how to destroy the security gate, Strong Sad suspects that it's for something illegal, but Strong Bad says that it's a "radio call-in show question", and he wants to be the fourth caller.

**Later, upon examining the katana, Strong Bad says that Pom Pom TOTALLY didn't get his sword back by giving him wedgies; he donated it.
**When examining the pond after the bleach gets in it, Strong Bad will stare at all the dead fish and a tear drips from his eye. He claims he got bleach in his eye.
**Before lighting the oil in front of the cool car on fire, Strong Bad asks what Strong Sad said about cleaning up oil spills. The scene then cuts to a flashback in which Strong Sad says "Uhh, light it on fire!", obviously being dubbed by Strong Bad.
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]
**When interviewing the King of Town about the similarities between himself and his character, Perducci, The King of Town briefly mentions hiring people overseas to steal priceless art to sell on the black market. When Strong Bad ask him to repeat that last part, The King of Town claims he only mentioned that they both wear fancy hats.

**When one finds the "''Lady Crate Ape''" box cover, Strong Bad remarks he wondered where it went, then immediately claims that it belongs to Strong Sad.

*[[The Next Epi-Snowed]] — [[Agent Chimendez]] informs [[Gunhaver]] that entering his box will "almost guarantee" him appearances in the rest of the season's episodes, while he actually plans to trap Gunhaver.
*[[Place ya bets!]] — Homestar tries to descend an "invisible secret elevator" after Strong Sad asks if Homestar's "bomb" is just candles with a drawing of a clock taped to them.
*[[Most in the Graveyard]] — After Strong Bad asks where the pickled monkey fingers went, The King of Town is seen running over the hills of the graveyard yelling, "IIIIIIII doooooooon't knoooooow!"
*[[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]] — In the ending scene, [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] apologizes to the Chief for the wait, and says that "Someone stuck a barracuda in [his] desk".
*[[Behind The Bad Chapter 3: The Last Straw]] — Strong Bad claims to be the lead designer for SBCG4AP, has a [[Strong Bad's Ladies|girlfriend]], shoots a [[shark]] [[gun]], and has a jet pack.
*[[Kick-A-Ball]] — In the "Official Kick-A-Ball Rules" handbook, Strong Bad has clearly attempted to falsify his identity as the author of a write-in rule. The rule is signed, "the commish (not strong bad)" and is even accompanied by a doodle of Strong Bad's face. Upon seeing this rule, Strong Bad further implicates his authorship by reprimanding the Cheat for not checking their own "Cheater's Almanac." Presumably, this almanac has a record of this rule.
*[[Poker Night At The Inventory]] — When the player wins a hand, Strong Bad will sometimes claim that it's not as impressive as the time he had a full house and a straight flush in one hand, which he calls a "flush house". Since a full house is three cards of a matching number and two cards of another matching number, and a straight flush is five cards all from the same suit with the numbers going in ascending order, having both in one hand is obviously impossible.
*[[A Jumping Jack Contest]] — Strong Mad tells Homestar that he is Strong Bad, but it is obvious enough that Pom Pom notices.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' For reals this time!

''{Cut to a stylized King of Town's Castle surrounded by sheep. A segment of the theme tune played on the double bass is heard. A silhouette of The Chef goes to the door and rings the doorbell}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Somebody get the door! I'll get it!

''{Cut to the inside of the castle, where the King of Town stands by the door. The door opens and reveals The Chef with a pizza box with his face on it.}''

''{A stylized Poopsmith walks in, with green clouds surrounding him. The King of Town's eyes pop bigger and his crown pops up and falls back on his head}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Woo! What is that reek? ''{looks at The Poopsmith}'' The Poopsmith, you smell like a crapsmith. ''{The Poopsmith hangs his head sadly}'' Have you tried showering?

''{Cut to The Poopsmith, who nods his head. Cut back to King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Bathing?

''{Cut back to The Poopsmith, who nods his head. Cut back to King of Town}''

'''THE KNIGHT:''' ''{to The Poopsmith}'' So, I'm gonna set this thing to "sanitize", and it'll burn the stink right off ya!

''{The Knight throws his spear at the Dragon's stomach. There are different labels on the Dragon's scales: "pots n pans", "instant death", "sanitize", "puree", and "tumble dry". The spear hits "instant death".}''

'''THE KNIGHT:''' Ooooooh... ''{In a mood of regret, then returning to a normal mood}'' yeah! This is gonna be awesome!

''{The Dragon leans back, skull symbols appear on its eyes, and it falls with much force on The Knight, embedding its teeth in the ground. A circle with The Blacksmith inside appears.}''

'''THE BLACKSMITH:''' Have you tried...

''{Wipe to The Blacksmith pouring "Përfüme" in some bellows. He sprays it at The Poopsmith. The perfume goes straight toward the Poopsmith but comes to a screeching halt at the clouds of stink and goes back a bit.}''

''{The Blacksmith rushes forward and tackles the shower while The King of Town and The Poopsmith look on.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh, way to protect this house, but uh... that wasn't really what I had in mind.

''{Cut to the inside of the castle where The King of Town stands with everyone but The Poopsmith. A few bars of the theme tune is heard. The Poopsmith's Whatsit pile is visible outside.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, beezos, I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but there's only one thing left to do!

''{Cut to the mountains, where everyone flies through the air while music plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Jumping fun! 
You're jumping through the air. 
Jumping fun!

''{The King and his men all fall toward the pile of whatsit. Freeze-frame just before they all hit the pile, then fade through white to the table, where everybody is covered in whatsit, has odor clouds and is eating pizza.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, you know what I always say, "If you can't beat make The Poopsmith smell good, join... beat make The Poopsmith smell good!" Right? Everybody?

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|thumb|Original title card]]
*The animation style is much more loosely [[Stylized Character Designs|stylized]] than it was in the teaser at the beginning of [[senior prom]]. Also, the background has changed from a reflective red background with horizontal lines to a dull flat red with lighter shades in circles towards the top of the screen.
*This is the first appearance of The Little Chef Guy and The Cleric since [[The King of Town DVD]].
*This is the first time The Knight and The Cleric have spoken in a cartoon. The Little Chef Guy and The Blacksmith previously had very small speaking roles in [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Remarks===
*The Cleric is now clad in purple, the traditional color of bishops' vestments in the [[Wikipedia:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] and [[Wikipedia:Anglicanism|Anglican]] churches.
*While the Blacksmith is spraying the Poopsmith with perfume, there are still sounds of a hammer hitting an anvil in the background even though the anvil is in picture and there is no indication that the Blacksmith has other employees.
*The Knight is voiced by [[Mike Chapman]].

===Goofs===
*When the Chef comes to the door on the tongue, the tongue's line disappears.
*When the King of Town answers the door, the chef isn't standing on a tongue.
*When the Poopsmith is tied to the stake, he no longer has an odor cloud around him.
*In the last scene, the Hornblower doesn't have an odor cloud around him.
*When the Blacksmith is pouring perfume into his bellows, some of the perfume pokes through the neck of its container.

===Inside References===
*This short is a reference to [[senior prom]], in which the King of Town gets his own cartoon show, only to be quickly preempted by [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad's Very Popular Cartoon Show]]. The King acknowledges this when he says "For reals this time!"
*This is another mention of [[pizza]].
*This is another mention of [[showering]].

===Real-World References===

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who allowed this to happen? Who allowed this to happen!?

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad! We— We owed him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We've owed him what?

'''MIKE:''' We owed him a cartoon. A very own, quite popular cartoon show.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but it was the big fake-out, right? I got him cancelled, 'cause I'm too great.

'''MIKE:''' Well, uh, what do you think about the chef here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's creepier than ever!

'''MIKE:''' Do you ever get, uh, pizzas delivered by the chef?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! I would not let that guy near me. Kingy-ding?

'''MIKE:''' What does he call you? The chef.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, does he have a little—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strongy-bong.

'''MIKE:''' Strongy-bong?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I smack him.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I can see that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, why does he— Why does everyone look so weird and different, The Poopsmith—

'''MIKE:''' It's style, Strong Bad! It's called—

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Poopsmith looks like he's like a— a, like, middle-aged man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he looks—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He doesn't look like his usual, uh... what do you call them? ...albino self.

'''MIKE:''' It's style Strong Bad, trust me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's your voice, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It is. I was never real happy with that voice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me neither.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' You shoulda done it, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, here I'll redo it. "Oh, I'm dead! Oh, let me out of this dragon's mouth, 'cause I'm—"

'''MIKE:''' Um, a little less Strong Bad. A little less Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a higher pitch}'' "—'cause I'm dead!"

'''MIKE:''' Uh, talk to Ryan now, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ryan, say something about that puffy cloud of perfume.

'''RYAN:''' It's not penetrating... the defense.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The— The stink-fense?

'''RYAN:''' The stank.

'''MIKE:''' That, uh, puffy perfume cloud used to have a face, and looked like a... much more of a human cloud, and we changed it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm so bored, you guys, of this cartoon.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really bored.

'''MIKE:''' But look at this! Football! You like football, don't you? Don't you watch football?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I love that blacksmith, man! The Blacksmith— why isn't The Blacksmith the star of everything? Of, like, the world. He should be the President, and the Universe, and, uh, Andre the Giant. He should win all the high offices.

'''MIKE:''' Andre the Giant's not a— that's not a— he's not an elected official. "The Giant"— that was just a nickname.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but it's Andre the Giant. Who's like— Who's running for Andre the Giant this year?

'''MIKE:''' Uh... King Kong Bundy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll— he— he can get it. He's a contender.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe... One Man Gang?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh.

'''MIKE:''' So, they're all covered with dirt, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, dude. That's wat-sit. 

'''MIKE:''' Wat-sit?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mm-hmm. Disgusting wat-sit. That's too bad. I like the skulls in that dragon's eyes, though.

'''MIKE:''' I wish that would— I hope that happens to me when I die.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I want mine— eyes turning to Xs.

'''MIKE:''' I hope my tongue comes out, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. That means you're dead.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''Date:''' 2003 or 2004

'''Running time:''' 0:39

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad and Homestar are seen standing around in a mysterious blue space. Strong Bad is looking around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad, could you give me a hand with this—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Wait a minute, shut up. Where the crap ''are'' we?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Someplace.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're we doing here? ''{looks behind him at the blue background}'' It's like we're in Blue Fadey Land or something. ''{faces Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhm... maybe this is heaven! We're dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it can't be heaven. There's not enough Twinkies.

''{Homestar looks to his left, and produces a Twinkie from offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here's a Twinkie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{looks to his right}'' Maybe this ''is'' heaven!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, and it's just you and me, forever!

''{Strong Bad slowly turns his head toward the camera as Homestar says this. As Strong Bad speaks, the background fades into a red gradient.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute... ''this isn't heaven!!!''

''{Strong Bad flies to the left side of the screen and starts pounding on it, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''WAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGHH!!!!!!!''

''{Strong Bad slides down off the bottom of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, you're right. I think it's Massachusetts.

''{Homestar smiles.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on Homestar's twinkie at the end to see Homestar use it as a telephone.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating telephone}'' Brinnng! Brinnng!
:''{Homestar holds the Twinkie up to his ear.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello? Senator Pencilface. Yes, this is Homestar. Yes sir, I can save the day!
:''{He puts the Twinkie down in midair with a telephone click noise. Then he looks to his left and lifts his leg up as if to run off, then stops, puts his leg down and looks around.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... I really don't think there's a way out of here.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This cartoon could be found in the program [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Central|Macromedia Central]] by going into "Help → About Central" and Ctrl-doubleclicking on the "C" logo (On Mac go into "Central → About Central" and double CMD Clicking on the C logo). When given a password field, one would type in "sbemail" and press enter. The cartoon would then play in the "about" box.

===Trivia===
*The blue and red "fadey" backgrounds are color fill techniques known as [[Wikipedia: Image gradient|gradients]], where the color fades along the fill area.
*In the [[Quote of the Week#QW-2005-06-10|Quote of the Week]], Strong Bad is incorrectly quoted as saying "''Naw'', it can't be heaven."

=== Remarks ===
*Although this is not on the main site, the quote by Strong Bad — "Naw, it can't be heaven. There's not enough Twinkies" — was used as the [[Quote of the Week#2005-06-10|Quote of the Week]] for June 10, 2005.
*This toon also appeared in an Easter egg on [[Everything Else, Volume 1]].
*Homestar pulls the Twinkie from [[hammerspace]].
*Homestar suggests that they are in [[heaven]], but Strong Bad hints that they are really in [[hell]].
*Strong Bad pounds on the edge of the screen, and Homestar could not find a way out of the other side. Despite this, Strong Bad's gloves are occasionally obscured by the edge of the screen, implying that it is not a solid wall.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Where The Crap Goof.png|thumb|Close-up of Homestar shrugging.]]
*Homestar Runner's head extends beyond his shirt during most of this animation, especially when he shrugs.

=== Inside References ===
*This toon includes one of the [[Names Ending in -face]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Twinkies|Twinkies]] are a snack cake produced by [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]], a division of [[Wikipedia:Hostess Brands|Hostess Brands]].
*This toon could be a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Jean-Paul Sartre|Jean-Paul Sartre]] play "[[Wikipedia:No Exit|No Exit]]". Written in 1944, this [[Wikipedia: Existentialism|existential]] play explores the idea that "hell is other people", a concept which Strong Bad comes to realize and finally panics over.

=== Fast Forward ===
*A [[Foods used as phones|food used as a phone]] is seen again in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]], and once more in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]].

Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not. If you didn't though, then 1 week was probably a little harsh. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Meh, maybe you're right. I was going primarily from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=568565 this edit}}, and I thought that the anonny had been reverted three times and was being persistent with adding those links. I'll unblock for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops! Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was just fooling around and deleting some spam from the sandbox. The anonny wasn't spamming any other pages than the sandbox. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 21:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No need to fear, Turtle, you acted correctly. Dotty just got a little carried away—which he ''rarely'' does, I might add, he does a bang-up job here and I'm personally proud of what he's accomplished—and made a premature judgement in absence of the facts. He fixed it, and all is well now, all is safe and sound. Sleep peacefully. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Dotty? Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! ''{suddenly sotto voce}'' No. Thanks as always to Qermaq for putting a bow on what was pretty much already wrapped up. ;) (Although I ''would'' recommend in the future not yelling in summaries if one is not trying to attract attention.

Okay, I know you have a fanstuff talk page. But this is serious. Joshua, the sysop, did something like blackmail. Now the forum is messed up and Super Sam blocked him. Can you please fix this mess? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:I do believe that what is occurring is simply playful banter which Sam here has taken a bit too seriously. Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 05:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::Edit conflict: Lies. All lies! Clearly I'm the only one who knows how it all went down. Joshua randomly bans Super Sam on the forum and then Super Sam screws around with the forum skin for revenge. Also I think Supra tried to block Joshua on the wiki but Joshua just unblocked himself. Just a spot of fun, no need to get all grumpy about it. I think it's pretty dang hilarious the way it's going down. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 05:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button.

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

It's the recent changes page of The Mario Wiki. I made an account there, and I realized on the recent changes page, there's a little section for who's currently logged in.

:[...] This would indeed be interesting, but people shouldn't have their identities exposed just because they're browsing.

== Hey It's dot com, how's it hanging? ==

I've been good, nearly done hiugh school, which leaves me to my first question:

I'll be leaving Homestar Runner wiki, temporarily, for school reasons. Anyhow, can someone you tell me where i can find a banner template to place on my wikipage saying I'll be off wiki for a while?

Thanks a bunch.

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 07:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:Wow, Nikolce, long time no hear from. We don't really have a template for that kind of thing, but you can make a banner by taking some code from one of our other templates and putting it on your page. Then you can update the message to suit whatever you need it to say. I'm curious how long a while is (your last edit was last April, which is what I'd consider a while). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Whoa, April, man school's been taking my time man. As well as school, sometimes my internets gets capped, meaning it becomes slow, and when it comes to wikis, they don;t load up.

Thanks for the help again.

Hey Its Dot Com, can you tell me what happened to the fanstuff? I left a long time ago but when I tried to come back everything was different.

:Block you? You're wrong though. We consistently treat scenes as though the characters have normal arms and/or fingers (regardless of what's "really" the case) and are directly manipulating objects. In other words, we say that Homestar is picking up an object (and don't worry about how), not that it mysteriously starts floating. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

<div>subject: name change</div>
Dear Mr. Com,
I understand that you must envisage me as a person who takes the Homestar Runner Wiki for granted, as I have created several different users. I am writing here to plead my case to change my username.
When I first created the account Jagger88, I looked at my talk page, and deleted the Welcome comment straight away. I therefore did not look at any information I may have needed. Therefore, I had no idea there was a way to change your username, and therefore created new users whenever I wanted to have a different username. If you look at recent changes, you will see that I have not used Do-Nots, Open Source Greg, or the new paper rox since you gave me a warning (the user Hremails was my brothers before he got confused with all the computer language). 
Please consider my application to change my name to TNDY, as I believe in recent times I have proved myself useful to this wiki. (I did like, the whole transcript for [[Pistols for Pandas]], discovered [[Career Day]], and the [[Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD]], aswell as along the way improving my understanding of this wiki. 
I'm only a teenager, and I actually think this wiki has what it takes to teach me some respect and responsibility. 
Sincerely, {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 09:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello, sorry if this is in the wrong place, I didn't know where to put it.

On the recent changes page, there seems to be a large number of accounts being made. normally if it was 1 or 2 I wouldn't notice, but there's been 8 in the last 5 minutes. I think it might be a troll or vandal. {{User:BubbleRevolution/sig}} 01:11, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, this is the wrong place to put this, but these accounts are all being made by the same person, because they all are common names (all having something to do with the Eragon series, I have read the books), except maybe [[User:Sbe-Mail Checker Dan]], he's probably a coincidence. Also, you probably shouldn't use the word TROLL or VANDAL yet, since the user(s) haven't made any edits yet, and might not know about the sockpuppet rule. Can someone go talk to him/her?

We all know about the decomisionning of STUFF, which I do support, but I reviewed your new version of the STUFF template and I loved it.

==Another Fanstuff Thing==
I don't mean to kill the already several dead horses about this topic, but I don't think the sysops are going to fix the Fanstuff Wiki. I know you have a life, n'stuff, but we want some stuff done. I don't care if you do half a page a day. Any progress is good progress. And if your schedule doesn't allow for any Fan-Wiki work, then get people that will accualy work. The regular people word be WAY more willing, and more faster, to fix these unfinished pages. In short, I hope you take some time to work on the Fan-Wiki, get better workers, and always, ALWAYS edit blank pages. [[User:Anonomous]]

Why do you still do this? You're managing the same website you did three years ago, and still for no reason. You're thirty three years old! You don't think that maybe it's time to start a family?

Please, just stop this whole thing.

== Thanks for the purge! ==

Hi Dot Com. I was just passing by to tell you that I, for one, am most delighted about how the purge took over 500 days. Without the purge, I'd still be dwelling on the Fanstuff Wiki with not much else to do, but since its absence, I've pursued other hobbies and personal projects, which most probably wouldn't have happened if the Fanstuff Wiki was still around. For example, since it went down with the purge, I've started to learn more about programming and website creation, not to mention polishing up my English skills and discovering my humble abilities as an amateur musician. That's really all I have to say. And again, thank you. No this contains no sarcasm whatsoever. -[[User:20eric06|20eric06]] 02:07, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you! During the Fanstuff purge I asked to change my username from Chituze to Happy: now it says I've got the wrong password, and I don't receive the verification email. I'm absolutely positive I've been typing the password right, because I use the same one everywhere. Are you able to find my password for me, or maybe allocate happypants3@hotmail to the account?

== Regarding [[Talk:Scroll_Button_Songs#Mirror_Glitch|Mirror Glitch]] ==

Hey, man. I just went over the articles for cleanup and saw [[Scroll Button Songs]]. The article looked OK and I went over the last few talk page posts to see why it should be cleaned up. I saw no problem, and I was just about to remove the template, when I decided to dig in the history a little and came across [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Scroll_Button_Songs&diff=prev&oldid=645922 this edit] from almost exactly a year ago. That discussion started two and a half years ago, and the article has been in "cleanup" ever since. Is that REALLY such a big of an issue? I mean, it looks like some technical thing to fix that should not bother the casual reader. I didn't even notice the email list on the mirrors after I read the talk page. I just listened to the songs. What I'm suggesting is to remove the template and you'll just fix whatever you need to fix whenever you got the time, since the article itself is fine. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 06:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

If you want to have your own channel, then make it, post the location on your forum, ''and then go there''. Anything with the "hrwiki" name on it means one of our admins has to keep an eye on it. We don't want to do that anymore. Closing <code>#hrwiki-fanstuff</code> solves the problem. It's win-win in the long run. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

well, you caught my attention with the chat on Super Sam's talk on the fanstuff wiki, and i didn't get to put my idea in before you locked it out. i figure this is as relevant a topic as any. if the sysops and moderators are the problem, why don't you get some new ones over there? i don't think this is worth closing that wiki. I'm sure there's a lot of people that would be capable enough to run that wiki that update frequently enough to care. I'm not saying it's me, i haven't done anything on either for over a year besides now, but I'm sure there are people that care about the fanstuff wiki as much as you care about the knowledge base. and i don't believe either site deserves to die just for lack of usage after the purge. a lot of the users just said "screw it" after waiting so long for it to come back, it seems unfair to close it for good before there's time to get more people interested again.

Hey, is there any rule against transferring projects from the Fanstuff Wiki to a subpage of a Knowledge Base account?

:Yes. On [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|HRWiki:User space]] under [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|What about user subpages?]], the second item under what is not allowed is "pieces of fanstuff".

== New Logo ==
Did you make that? What a great idea! {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 03:11, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, the idea came from the annony of [[{{#ifexist:HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 40|HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 40#Wiki image|Talk:Main Page#Wiki image}}|this Main Page discussion]], who was concerned about the bandwidth being [[isp|sucked up]] by that giant, 1 MB GIF. That is some epic decompiler work you did there, Dot Com! I've always wondered how you got Homestar in the logo like that, and I enjoy the little Easter Egg. The addition of Flash detection is also very nice. Except I'm not that big of a fan of the lost Decemberween colors, but it adds consistency and balances the page, in my opinion. Also, you might want to remove the special no-click treatment for the 'flakes. It's making my cursor spazz-out. Anyway, great work! Now everything is tiny. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 04:16, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
::Well, to be fair, all he said was that we should make it into a SWF, which is an idea that I had years ago but had never taken the time to implement. So really he just nudged me into going ahead and doing it. Redrawing the logo GIF as a vector format, designing the snowflakes, coding their motion (notice that they never repeat), and adding hidden extras were all me. Anyways, thanks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:17, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Aforementioned annony here, nice work on the swf! I'm a flash animator myself and I would have made it if you had said something "well why don't you make it yourself if you're so concerned" :P --[[Special:Contributions/184.56.45.155|184.56.45.155]] 06:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Maybe for Halloween you could make it where clicking on Homestar would change his costume or something in the logo, that's a good idea.

=== HRWiki celebrates New Year's with a logo ===

(This was made on 1/1/11 so don't say "I don't see it")
Hey, I just like to comment the new years logo. I like how after a few seconds Homestar blows a party blower and confetti falls. It really caught my eye. I thought I saw something on the logo other (of course other than Homestar blinking every 3 seconds) and I waited a few seconds and I saw Homestar blowin' a party blower and confetti falling from [[Hammerspace]]!. It's a great way to celebrate 2011! {{user:Pgj1997/sig}}

Y'ello, Dot Com, I was wondering, in the vague interest of another wiki I contribute to, how and where you added the animated logo, both in its current swf form, and its previous form. (Though I can't help but wonder if I shouldn't already have figured that one out myself... *sigh* Oh well...) --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 02:24, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:We're using the [[Wikipedia:SWFObject|SWFObject]] method of adding SWF files to pages, which seems to work well across many browsers while also being compatible with devices with no Flash support. It requires placing <code>swfobject.js</code> on your server in addition to your SWF logo. (Note: we're using [http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ version 1.5], but later versions have been released.) The following quick and dirty edit of <code>MonoBook.php</code> will do the trick (be sure to adjust the paths to point to the correct files). The next time we upgrade MediaWiki, I'll probably fancy it up a little, but for now it's fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

OK. Also, since I already made this one section on your user talkpage, I might as well ask another question that came to mind. The MediaWiki extension that makes a new special page, which can allow someone to view a scrambled version of a specified page, is that available on request? Or is it already in the MediaWiki get extensions list? [[User:LikeLakers2|LikeLakers2]] 23:08, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

== Tentative request ==

Hello, It's dot com! I'd like to apologize in advance for bringing this issue up again, but I have a request regarding the old Fanstuff Wiki files. I hope this doesn't already deter you, I intend to be respectful and cooperative. The old Fanstuff wiki holds a good deal of nostalgia for me, as well as for a few of my friends. The "purged" fanstuff wiki retains some of this nostalgia (thanks for continuing to host that, by the way!) but much of the community discussion and silliness is contained only on the old files. If you even still have the pre-"purge" fanstuff wiki files, then I would be delighted to take them off your hands.

'''Note that I don't intend to start up the H*R Fanstuff Wiki again!''' First because you've expressed that you wish our community distanced from yours, and second because the original Fanstuff Wiki community has since dispersed anyway. I understand that any attempt to resurrect the site would be ill-advised, so I will not do that. I merely intend to sift through old pages which were lost in the purge, for historical and entertainment purposes. I may host it as a private archive on my own website, but if this would bother you then I will not do so. The HRFWiki harbored a lot of my creative efforts in my early teenage years, and I would just like to reflect on that community's golden years. I hope you understand.

Apologies again for the bothering, especially as it seems you've already suffered a great deal of passive-aggressive remarks on the Fanstuff Wiki issues. I apologize for anything I did personally in that way. I don't intend to push the issue but it would mean a great deal to me if you would do this for me. Thank you!

{{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 21:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
:I understand your reservations in responding to such a request. A simple "no" will suffice if that's how you feel. I won't bother you again. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 09:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
::Apologies for the late reply. I've repeatedly stated that those files should be considered gone, sorry. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Oh yes, I remember that policy now. Well, in my view, such a policy is not really necessary any longer, as the reasons and needs to keep these files from the community have since become more or less unnecessary, mainly as the community is practically gone, as is the tension and problems surrounding what originally spurred the purge to happen. I also understand your hesitancy in providing the archive to any old user, so perhaps it's worth noting that I also spent a bit of time acting as a sysop in this community, and in this position I did my best to mitigate conflict and tension, and to keep users abiding by the standards. I understand that you never had much high esteem for the fanstuff portion of this wiki, and probably rightfully so. But it all meant a lot to me, perhaps as much as Homestar Runner itself! It fostered a lot of goofy discussion and fledgling creative efforts, at least it did in its earlier years, much of which did not survive to the archive which is hosted now.
:::Sorry, I guess I'm rambling again! Really I just mean to ask that you'd please reconsider your policy, now that the nasty politics surrounding Fanstuff Wiki issues have dissipated! Speaking for myself, transferring ownership of these forgotten archives to a humble old, reminiscing sysop doesn't seem particularly problematic, and I hope that you can see things this way too. It would really mean a lot to me if you could do this favor for me!
:::Also I understand that further discussion in a public medium may not be especially desirable to you. If you would prefer to discuss this via e-mail you can contact me at pullskip@gmail.com. Also, if there is someone else who would be better for me to talk to at this point, let me know. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 08:28, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
::::Oh, and if feel that you can only offer parts of the files, or can only offer them under my abiding certain conditions, please say so. I also hope I don't sound rude at this point! And I hope it doesn't sound like I'm arguing, or trying to make you upset. I would just be very, very happy if I could revisit a tiny part of my childhood. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 08:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email check!]]
== Biography ==
'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He [[Strong Bad Email|answers emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED]]!!''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around. He states that both of his brothers are "galactically incapable of having friends" in the email [[imaginary]], one of the very few true insults he has ever made. He's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
Strong Bad has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes, and a red [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask with a blue diamond and black markings for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mask is most likely his face, however, considering that his skull contains the outline of his mask design, and many other clues. He possibly has stretchy skin, as he appeared to stretch the mask from behind [[Le Restige]]. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears shiny black pants and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-one marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently [[Couch Mumbling|mumbling]] video game titles, sometimes holding a bag of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal mastermind]], a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really [doesn't] like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], such as [[sloshy]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. He enjoys watching [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|TVs that lost their essence in the '70s]], and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Most of the time, he heads over to [[Poker Night at the Inventory|The Inventory]] to hang out with his fellow video game enthusists and even a few game characters themselves.

Strong Bad has sung many self-proclaimed hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]", which The Cheat made an animated music video of. He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because she's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

Strong Bad also made his own band in [[Baddest Of The Bands]] which was known as [[Bands in Baddest Of The Bands|DÖI]]. In it, Strong Bad does the vocals, [[the King Of Town]] plays guitar, and [[Homsar]] is on the theremin. Strong Bad didn't really pick who was in this band, as after he signed everyone else up, these two were the only characters left to be in the band.

Strong Bad also receives mailed letters and items at his mailbox outside his house. On the side of the mailbox is printed "sb_snailmail.exe", which is a parody of "strongbad_email.exe", the computer command he used to use to check his email.

{{Character Video Transcript}}

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a weak", "a week", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad is completely incapable of matching Pom Pom's time in the Race to the End of the Race, and can only beat Coach Z's time by ''heavily'' cheating. In the email [[pom pom]], Pom Pom easily beats up Strong Bad when he attempts to poke Pom Pom with a pin.

On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). Also in [[Compy Catalog]] Strong Bad easily throws roughly 450 pounds (204.12 kg) of pennies onto his mailbox. In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous. In contrast, Strong Mad holds the upper hand in strength over all of The Brothers Strong.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|"Well, time to start evolving into mole people. Now shut your eyes really tight and try and heighten your other senses."]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."

*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.

*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Our next show, is a family show. It...is...the email.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class= "compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Have you ever thought who will take 
your place when you retire? 
 
Your friend, 
Jeffrey Desterhoft</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You've got a good point there, Jeffy. I suppose I can't keep checking these e-mails forever. I never really thought about finding an heir to my throne before. Come to think of it, what ever happened to my throne?

''{Strong Bad stops typing, picks up a phone, and talks into it, making a sound like a loudspeaker in a supermarket}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Attention The Cheat. Customer needs assistance in e-mail. Customer needs assistance in e-mail.

''{Strong Bad puts down the phone, which is not attached to anything. The Cheat arrives in a blue employee's vest with his name on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, didn't I used to have a throne of some kind?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{points at the stool and makes The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, no, this is my ''stool''. I'm talking about a ''throne''. You know, it had, like...gold nuggets on it, and...a hundred cup holders...some of them velvety cushions...you know, a ''throne''. And I think I had a motorcycle, too. See if you can find those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the best way to find a replacement is to subject a bunch of applicants to the same rigorous screening process that I subjected myself to ''{begins to sound unsure of what he is saying}'' when I started checking these emails?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar standing in the Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna hold up a last name, and you make fun of it. ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Gargleman" written on it}'' Gargleman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up a cue card that reads "Dumweiner"}'' Dumweiner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhh, Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Butkus"}'' Butkus.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Crambert"}'' Crambert.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Desterhoft"}'' Desterhoft.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think about it; ''{without hesitation}'' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Perfect score!

''{Cut to the computer room with Strong Bad and Coach Z in front of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "deleted."

''{He presses a button on the keyboard and the Compy displays DELETED on a blue background, making the standard DELETED sound.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">DELETED!</blockquote>

'''COACH Z:''' DELORTED!

''{The Compy flashes DELORTED on a dark yellow-green background and makes a distorted version of the DELETED sound. Strong Bad looks surprised.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#8B8B00; text-align:center">DELORTED!</blockquote>

''{Cut to the basement with Strong Bad and Bubs and a cardboard box with Strong Sad drawn on it sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the teeth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's good, that's good, even though he might not have any teeth. What else?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the grill!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah! Keep going!

'''BUBS:''' ''{turns to face Strong Bad}'' Kick ''you'' in the grill!

''{Bubs starts to approach Strong Bad, waving his arms and yelling menacingly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nervously}'' No, no, Bubs, calm down, this is only a drill!

''{Cut to Marzipan's house with Strong Bad and Marzipan holding [[Carol]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "scroll buttons" song.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' And that's why I like to scroll, with scroll buttons!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, right, right, the worst song I ever heard. Play another one!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' Scroll buttons are good, they move you up and down, they take you to...

''{Strong Bad groans. Cut to the basement, with Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and the same cardboard box with Strong Sad on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Strong Sad, Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go make him some hummus!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hummus?! No, try something else.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... Give him a foot massage!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks at Strong Sad's [[soolnds]]}'' Those are not feet!

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat. The Cheat is wearing a cardboard box that has a drawing of himself on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I want you to pretend this is The Cheat, and give him a good, swift, kick in The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{bends one of his legs back, then pauses}'' Umm... ''{puts his leg back down}'' Crapface.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front of his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''{typing}'' This screening process is neither processing nor screening very well. I suppose I should cut to the chase and haul out the big guns...DANCE CONTEST!

''{Cut to a stage. Music is playing. We see the top part of Strong Bad's head watching each contestant. The first contestant is Marzipan, who spins her ponytail around while moving her head left and right. Cut to Coach Z, who taps his right foot while waving his arms. Cut to Strong Sad simply twitching his fingers. Cut to Bubs shaking his arms while jumping up and down. Cut to Strong Mad, who simply stands in place and yells.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M STRONG MAD! I'M STRONG MAD!

''{Cut to Homsar, who shuffles his feet all along the stage. The camera then cuts to and zooms in on Homestar, who is lit by a spotlight. The music changes to the ending of a slow, dramatic song.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And then I put it on my faaaaace...

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Hummus|Hummus]] is a paste of pureed chickpeas usually mixed with sesame oil or sesame paste and eaten as a dip or sandwich spread.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#alone in the dark|alone in the dark]]".

===Remarks===
[[Image:delorted.png|thumb|DELORTED!]]
*Strong Bad uses a [[disconnected telephone]].


*Strong Bad doesn't interview Strong Mad or Homsar, yet they still take part in the dance contest; he also doesn't interview The Cheat.
*The visible "DELET" part of the [[DELETED]] text is the same size as the "DELOR" part of Coach Z's "DELORTED". At that size, part of the final D and the exclamation point (which are included in the Flash file) wouldn't fit on the screen.
*When Strong Bad types "DANCE CONTEST!" the initial D appears unusually close to the final period in the preceding ellipsis, probably as a result of trying to avoid splitting the phrase at a line break.
*When Strong Bad asks Coach Z for his best "DELETED!", the computer screen says the same thing as the beginning of the email: "You've got a good point there, Jeffy. I suppose I can't..."
*Although Strong Bad implied that Strong Sad has no teeth, he can be seen brushing them in the [[concert]] and [[narrator]] emails.
*Since the [[font]] called Engravers MT is used, the first quotation mark on Strong Bad's gravestone is backwards.
*As Homsar walks back and forth, his walking noise is nowhere to be found.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat turns to the left screen and exits, the nametag on the right side of his vest moves to the left side and is reversed.
*The sign above Marzipan normally reads "Thank You". In this email, it appears to be blank due to a positioning error in the Flash file.
*At the end of the email the moon is facing the back of the gravestone, but the shadow is in front of the moon and the other side is bright.
*Marzipan's hair spins in front the part of her body under her neck, as if it was going through her neck.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's repeated use of "crap[[Names Ending in -face|face]]" is related to the way he answered his first email in [[50 emails]].
*Bubs's moves in the dance contest come from the game [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*Strong Bad first [[Kicking The Cheat|kicked The Cheat]] in [[little animal]].
*Strong Bad previously mentioned gold nuggets in his [[Strong Bad#Character Video Transcript|character video]].

===Real-World References===
*The Cheat is wearing a blue uniform, typical of [[Wikipedia:Wal-Mart|Wal-Mart]] employees, but Strong Bad uses a red phone, typical of [[Wikipedia:Target Corporation|Target]] stores.
*The name "Butkus" refers to [[Wikipedia:Chicago Bears|Chicago Bears]] Hall-Of-Fame linebacker [[Wikipedia:Dick Butkus|Dick Butkus]].
*A [[wikipedia:Grill (jewelry)|Grill]] most likely refers to the dental object people (most prominently rappers) wear on their teeth, but can also mean the mouth/teeth themselves.
*Coach Z's dance is similar to a popular [[Wikipedia:Hardcore punk|hardcore]] dance referred to as "Shootin' the arrow".

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan's first scroll button song was later used on the [[Scroll Button Songs|Strong Bad Email Menu]], despite him saying that it was the worst song he ever heard.
*Strong Bad would later decide to not die at all in [[your funeral]].
*Marzipan's dance moves would be seen again in [[nightlife]].
*The graves for the eleven former [[The King of Town|Kings of Town]] would be shown, in similar style to Strong Bad's grave, in [[original]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' What's he's saying right now is from an old audio recording that I made.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Matt, before we had a video camera, he and his friend, you know, would just make movies and...

'''MATT:''' Radio plays!

'''MIKE:''' On, aha, on audio cassette! He had a bad tape recorder.

'''MATT:''' And our friend TJ said that, and he could, he was like four or something and couldn't talk very well, or at least couldn't re-memorize lines at the time 'cuz he was so young, and it was called "The Hostess Cake": "Our next show is a family show. It is... The Hostess Cake"... Mike, how did he do that with his voice?! That phone's clearly not plugged in!

'''MIKE:''' It's like Coach Z's phone from another cartoon. I dunno. I dunno, Matt. I just make the cartoons.

'''MATT:''' That's clearly a Wal-Mart vest that The Cheat is wearing there, I think, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Also, there's "Alone in the Dark" back there. Is that... this is, okay, this is before that horrible "Alone in the Dark" movie that just came out.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah, did that already come out?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah! It was just in the theater for, like, two days.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Bad idea.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, what are we— Which one is this? Replacements?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's trying to find an heir to the throne!

'''MATT:''' Oooooh.

''{pause until Strong Bad holds up the "Desterhoft" card}''

'''MIKE:''' ''(sarcastic 'surprised' voice)'' Hey, that's the name of the guy that sent the email!

'''MATT:''' ''(similar voice)'' That's a funny name.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitates the "Deleted" buzzer, then again as Strong Bad DELETEs the email}''

'''MATT:''' ''{of "DELORTED"}'' Oof. That brown screen is gross. I like it. Now this is our friend [[Craig Zobel]], who... you all know. His favorite thing ever on our website is right here where Bubs attacks Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' That's just me being ba— being a lazy animator. It wasn't supposed to be funny.

'''MATT:''' ''{partially over the last line}'' No, that was you being a genius.

'''MIKE:''' It wasn't supposed to be funny.

'''MATT:''' It's hilarious.

'''MIKE:''' Didn't you record Strong Bad singing one of these scroll buttons songs for the scroll button menu?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. I did.

'''MIKE:''' We oughta use that.

'''MATT:''' Never have. Maybe we should. It's been the same one for a while now.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{of the box with Strong Sad's image}'' That Strong Sad drawing is pretty great. The Cheat clearly drew that for him. ''{after Strong Bad's "Those are not feet."}'' What are they called, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Soolnds?

'''MATT:''' Soolnd.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' So we got a dance party coming up where Coach Z is doing our friend Claire's dance.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. I remember... that's a good dance.

'''MIKE:''' There it is.

'''MATT:''' The Claire dance. I don't know if Claire knows that we have Coach Z doing her dance.

'''MIKE:''' Does she know we have a name for her dance?

'''MATT:''' I don't know if she knows that either. I hope she doesn't get mad.

'''MIKE:''' I did all this. That's why the dances are pretty lame.

'''MATT:''' Homestar is singing in a dance contest, Mike. He doesn't, he obviously doesn't know what's going on.

'''MIKE:''' Even if it was a ''singing'' contest, it was a pretty bad song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno what he's talking about, but I dunno what he just put on his face.

''{they laugh}''

'''MATT:''' It's a great song, I think. It's very interesting. It makes you wonder. What did— and what happened that spawned that?

'''MIKE:''' I don't wanna know.

''{pause until The Paper}''

'''MIKE:''' ''(sighs)'' That's it.

'''MATT:''' Preeow.
