Should we categorize this as a toon, Homestar Runner email, or Strong Bad email? Maybe as all three? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 06:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Definitely Hremail and Sbemail. It's already on the Email list, and it has Hremail already in the title. Itama 06:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
It's listed as a sbemail on homestarrunner.com. We should go with that. Loafing 06:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
It's important to note that on the main page, it's listed as "New Toon," but does have "HREMAIL" in the title AND shows up in the SBEMAIL list on Denny's Menu... so, in a strange twist of fate, it is regarded as all three? Javaguy78 14:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

That phrase Homestar says.. "Don't Call it a comeback"... isn't that an L.L. Cool J lyric?

Fun Fact?

Should we add a fun fact that in the commentary for email thunder, Matt Chapman said that there would be no more emails? Or is it not important enough? OpenSourceGreg 08:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Easy Button? REALLY?

I was more reminded of those USB panic buttons and such, and TBH the 'easy button' isn't the only big red button out there. There's an excuse button, a bull**** button, an insult button, all kindsa buttons.

I'm not trying to police the wiki, but I don't think you should use swear words, even on the talk pages. BubbleRevolution 18:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
No, really, they sell a such thing as a button that says 'Bull****' when you press it. And it's common courtesy not to edit peoples' statements on talk pages, so I'd like it if you don't edit what I said, even if for censorship purposes, which I don't really support anyway. 98.176.133.158 21:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Nobody cares what you don't support. Follow the rules, anonny. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 05:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

I send a email for Homestar

Dear Strong Bad the sbemail 200 is your last email. Lucsar 11:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Uhhhhhhh... no kiddin'... OpenSourceGreg 11:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Disc 7

So, having made this email, this either means TBC will put this on Everything Else Vol. 4, or strongbad_email.exe Disc 7. And if it is the email DVD, then they will have to make at least 29 more. And then stopping at 230 would look untidy, so then they might make another 70 and release it as discs 8 and 9. But then they might want to take it up to at least an even 10... Hmmmmmmm... OpenSourceGreg 11:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Or maybe they don't _have_ to make anything but rather just do stuff they like whenever they have an idea and the time. ;) If they should decide to end sbemails for good one day and happen to end them with an uneven number or too little content for a new DVD, they can do that. They could put them on a mixed DVD with "Everything Else" or just leave it at that and never sell them at all. Or they would find other options. Anyway, I think you get my point. ;) (It's me, Cass from Germany. Comp just logged me out.) --95.222.57.4 12:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, maybe that would have been better to put on the forum... OpenSourceGreg 09:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Beth-shiba?

Is Senor Cardgage saying, "Beth-shiba," as written in the transcript, or Bathsheba?

I'm pretty sure it's "Beth", because this is Senor we're talking about. free 12:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
He pronounced it Bath. The vowel sound Senor makes is almost 100% clearly an A sound. MenacingBanjo 13:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I agree it's "Bathsheba" Javaguy78 14:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Moonwalking?

Is it just me, or does Senor Cardgage's walking in place look like a tribute to Michael Jackson's moonwalk move?

It's just you.--206.205.184.2 14:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe if he had been walking backwards, but the way it was done, it seemed like it was just supposed to be some weird thing. Monkeytender 14:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
That's what i thought of given recent events, but you can't really say they would do something like that, can you? The Knights Who Say Ni 23:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Lappy 486 and Paper 2.0: Rest In Peace

They killed off Lappy the same way they killed of Tandy, I wonder what new computer will replace it. Perhaps Strong Bad and Homestar will answer an email together. User:MICGAGUH

Sorry, but stuff like this really belongs on the forum. Monkeytender 14:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Kelly-usa?

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.

Actually, it's probably just an extention of the Homenadé joke made in Donut Unto Others. wbwolf (t | ed) 15:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

sbemail201

Do you think this counts as sbemail201? Because if not, sbemail201.html will be the first official sbemail to not be located at "sbeamil{#}.html". TheThin 15:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it counts (it's on the sbemail menu on the site), and no, it won't. --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 16:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
It counts, and it's not the first. senior prom was located at "kingpoptoon.html".
There an echo in here? --Jay Jay Jay Jay 17:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
speaking of echoes, when he says, "Dear Strong Bad Strong Bad Strong Bad Strong Bad", that echo has happened in at least one e-mail before. is this notable? incidentally, the file is kotpoptoon.html, not kingpoptoon, but w/e The Knights Who Say Ni 21:24, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
and which email was it? The Knights Who Say Ni 23:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Name styles

This may need to be listed on the manual of style or its talk page, but I just wanted to state somewhere that this toon should be referred to as hremail3184 when listed as a Strong Bad Email and Hremail 3184 when listed as a Hremail or when TBC list it as such. I think our usage to this point has been consistent with the guideline, but I figured it should at least be mentioned out loud. — It's dot com 16:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I was the one who originally moved the page from Hremail 3184 to hremail3184, and I wasn't sure if I should fix the pages listed in "What links here?" for the former article. I suppose that clears it up. Dalkaen 04:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

scroll buttons

there is no scroll buttons song as of this sbemail

Yeah. We know. It's been stated on the page. BubbleRevolution 18:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I did that! OpenSourceGreg 09:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

takes, has, means...

So, at least three times in this email, the characters use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, SB says "I can't takes it no more", Coach Z says "... now I don't has to" and the Lappy asks, "does that means?" Are these mentionable? I think they are, in the same vein that "Be's careful" and "be's'ing mean..." were in previous emails... but how do we mention them in this email.... a little help? Javaguy78 21:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

"This email contains several instances of Deliberately Poor English." --DorianGray 21:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Identical explosion marks?

I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the explosion mark at the end of this toon is the exact same vector shape that was used in the same spot back in 'virus', after Bubs shot the Compy.

I did notice, but I wasn't sure if it was worth noting. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 05:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

32X Reference

I did a basic edit about the Grilled mushrooms 32x reference, but since I'm new at this can some one perfect it?

So popular lately

Gas rings around explosions in pop culture probably started with the Star Wars Special Editions. Worth a Real World Reference?

Unless you can make that "probably" into a "definitely", I'd say not. --DorianGray 04:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)

Meh, I think it's a bit TTATOT. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 05:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

PONK!

Anyone else notice the name of the beer Bubs was drinking?--Robotguy4 05:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

It is clearly "PONK!" Point? Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 09:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Other Info

Is anyone planning on putting the writing from Strong Bad's newspaper and business card in the article? CloneWarrior 08:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Speech Impediment

Is it me, or does Homestar's Speech Impediment is kinda missing at the beginning of the hremail?--Darkangel Get offa me! 08:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
