Contents |
Easter Eggs
- Selecting "Why wear pants" will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old Fortune Cookies game. As you hover the cursor over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
- Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service, Kertified Klown Kare. It reads:
Kertified Klown Kare -Pie Injuries -Giant Foot Problems -Wacky Malaria -Grease Paint Poisoning "Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"
- Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Lying in bed with a light bulb next to his head, crying} Lonnnng paaaannnts!
- MARZIPAN: Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Sits up suddenly, surprised and upset} You're not a broom?
Fun Facts
Explanations
- Daisy Dukes are extremely short cut-offs, so named for the character from The Dukes of Hazzard television show that wore them.
- Strong Bad using the "light pen" to remove portions of the email draws from the joke about a fool who, being unexperienced with technology, used a correction fluid pen on his monitor in an attempt to remove misspelled words in a wordprocessing program.
- The lightbulbs give you the reason Homestar's pants kept shining.
- Parachute Pants are large billowy pants which come in at the waist and ankles with snug elastic bands.
Trivia
- This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.
- In the easter egg, the messages in the fortune cookies read "You are not as good as most people" before they are completely unraveled.
Remarks
- Perhaps Strong Bad doesn't answer the original question because we already found out why Homestar doesn't wear pants in an Easter Egg to monument. Homestar was distracted by the Thnikkaman and never wound up putting pants on.
- Strong Bad's opening song is suspiciously similar to the one in the show.
- Homestar's feet might be shoes that blend in with his legs/pants. This is shown in New Boots when his shoe is thrown at him.
- Homestar Runner's judo outfit in montage includes white pants.
- Strong Bad notes Homestar's lack of pants in Not the 100th Email!!!, but there is no mental breakdown.
- Although Strong Bad has ruined the Lappy's screen in the email, it is still pristine in the current SB Email main menu.
- Several cartoons and shorts show Homestar "naked", but we can see that his pants(?) are on. So that sparks the question, does Homestar really wear pants?
- It is interesting that Strong Bad would be disgusted by the sight of Homestar in Daisy Dukes when one considers that Homestar supposedly wears no pants at all!
Goofs
- Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker and when applying the white out, no ripples pop up on the screen.
- After he clears the screen and starts writing about the age old question, Homestar comes in. You can clearly see the text the whole time Homestar is there, but when Homestar leaves and Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, it's gone.
- The Klown Kare easter egg (by clicking on the socket) can still be clicked in the same location on the screen when the scene moves around.
- When Homestar appears close-up to the computer, if you zoom in, you can see that the disk label is slightly garbled, like it would be in a JPEG file. This is because it actually IS a JPEG being used to show both Homestar and the part of the background placed behind him, as the JPEG format does not allow for transparency.
- Additionally, the image appears to be displayed slightly above its proper location.
- When Strong Bad is writing with his pen, the reflection doesn't show up.
- There is a separate shadow on the white line in the Lappy's email client.
Inside References
- Edga Jr. is a reference to the e-mail virus, in which his ambiguous relation, Edgar, created Strong Bad's virus protection program. Also, whereas Edgarware was made in "mom's basement", Edga Jr. was made seven years later in "mom's sewing room".
- Atari Homestar is from Main Page 13 and In Search of the Yello Dello.
- The business card easter egg makes reference to the Tragic Clown Dog from part-time job.
- Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the Intro.
- Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (Along with Homestar's response) may be a reference to Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2 where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".
- The noise made by Homestar's glowing pants is used often in Stinkoman cartoons.
- Strong Bad's "light pen" is based on his "light pen" from haircut - there, it was a black marker.
Real-World References
- Strong Bad throwing cue cards away during the intro song is a reference to the music video for Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan.
- It could also be a reference to the video "Need You Tonight/Mediate" by INXS.
- The light pen was an input device that would make an EGA or CGA monitor into a touch screen of sorts. You touched a light sensor to the screen, and it would calculate a position by sensing the 'flicker' of the monitor's cathode ray. A real light pen could never work with the Lappy 486, since LCD displays do not flicker.
- Adam West is an actor best known for his role as Batman on the campy '60s TV show. The Batman costume has tights with briefs over them, so Batman does not wear pants, either.
- The text "X-PENSIVE W..." appearing on Strong Bad's 'light pen' before he shakes it up may be a reference to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards' solo band the X-Pensive Winos.
