== Poopsmith Lyrics? ==
:The unintelligible part of the transcript as of 7:35 AM is "The thought of all those emails (makes me weaaaak)."
:: I think its "Weep" because it's a verb and strong bad interruption "PUKE" would make better sense.  (I don't know how to "weak") [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:::If you listen  to the mp3 at the end, you can tell that it is "weak".  And "weak" is not a verb, its an adjective.  You don't "weak" you "be weak" -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]
::::Wow, the battle of dumb-butts. Clearly "I don't know how to 'weak'" was his way of saying that he knows it's not a verb and hence doesn't think it fits in that context (which albeit an adjective also does). [[Special:Contributions/75.157.4.36|75.157.4.36]] 17:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::Thank you 75.157.4.36... I guess sarcasm doesn't work too well online... Anywho, listened to the mp3 and it could go either "Weep" or "Weak", so I guess it's up to you to decide.  Maybe TMBG are the only ones who know for sure [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 18:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::Taking horse tranquilizers makes me weak. I thought it was weak too, and I think it makes sense - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 19:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Listen to the mp3 easter egg, guys. It as a a '''''very''''' clearly pronounced WEA'''K'''. {{User:Supuhstar}} 19:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::So... we know that it is in fact "weak" now, right guys? Because it makes sense with the whole line about how all those emails are "exhausting just to think about", and exhausting and weak are kind of related. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 12:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
: I thought it was "weep". [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 19:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
::listen to the mp3, there can be no question. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I know that this discussion is over a month old, but I was on vacation when it started and I felt I should add input: TP says that it's "exhausting just to think about", and then says that the thought even almost makes him weak. You don't typically weep because you're exhausted. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
::::That was my reasoning too. ...it has been changed to "weak" now right? {{User:Acam30/sig}} 23:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::With the exception of a couple spans of a few seconds, it's always been "weak". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:21, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::I instantly though of weep the first time I heard it. But weak really does make more sense. {{unsigned|Origonalname|13:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)}}

== They might be giants? ==

At least one youtuber ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lwFy6MYP3Q ) thinks that the poopsmith's song was by they might be giants, can someone confirm/deny this? --The accountless avenger
:I'm pretty sure we can take the Brothers Chaps' word as truth when they say it's performed by They Might Be Giants. This band has done more than one song for homestarrunner.com. --[[User:DENNIS|DENNIS]] 20:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
::It probably wasn't one of the Brothers Chap, as the Poopsmith's voice was heard in [[different town]] and [[senior prom]], and both times, he had a significantly lower voice.{{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Sorry; I wasn't thinking. John Linnell was the voice of The Poopsmith, as stated in the article. --{{User:DENNIS/sig}} 21:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
::::Also, the musical performance is not very TBC, it's not like Linnell dubbed over TBC's tracks. This is also not stylistically like TBC, it's fairly safe to assume TMBG wrote and recorded this for them. TBC may have written the lyrics, however, we have no way to tell right now. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Hooyah? ==

Strong Bad's exclamation is spelled about ten different ways in the transcription. Perhaps we should pick one spelling and stick to it? I don't know which one to use, though. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 18:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:What exclamation do you mean? --[[User:DENNIS|DENNIS]] 20:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
::"Hooyah", of course. Or B'oyah. Or Whooyaha. Or however many other times it was spelled. I'm assuming it's the same phrase each time. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 22:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

:It works fine here, so the most likely thing is a problem with a server between you and theirs. Clear your cache, reboot, and try again. It may just be a waiting thing. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's personal favorites ==

What about "Cinnimon beard?"

== Michelle? ==

I noticed that the referance explaination about the Poopsmith's Easter Egg has been changed from "My Michelle" (Guns'n Roses) to "Michelle" (The Beatles) and back. I don't know the first one, but the Beatles's Michelle song has completely different lyrics and I'm sure if the Easter Egg were to be a referance to that one, they would have included French, since that's the most recognizable part of the song. --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 06:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
:I initially added the fact as being for Guns N' Roses because it was the [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Well%2C+well%2C+well%2C+my+Michelle%22+lyrics first thing Google returned], and the first link there seems to confirm it. But I've not actually heard either song, so I can't say myself which is right. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
::The lyrics to the song "My Michelle" [http://www.lyrics007.com/Guns%20N'%20Roses%20Lyrics/My%20Michelle%20Lyrics.html] make it clear.  While I first thought of the song by the Beatles, the lyrics "well, well, well" are just not in the song "Michelle" by the Beatles.  To be clear: the references is to the Guns N' Roses song "My Michelle".  Without a doubt.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Fun do part? ==

Don't you think that's what SB says?
:I'm pretty sure he says fondu. --{{User:DENNIS/parapet}} 18:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, there is no difference in pronounciation between fondue and fun do, the later seems to make s little more sense, given the way SB looks at Coach Z... I mean Homestar.
:So... "Gone" and "Gun" are the same word? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
:The thing on Coach Z's head is a fondu pot. --{{User:DENNIS/parapet}} 18:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
::Fondue makes sense because Coach Z has a fondue pot on his head.  That's what they are talking about - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 20:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok, one last try - Coach Z is of course saying "fundue pot" (or trying to), but SB seems to be repeating what he heard "fun do part?!" than what Coach Z meant. Listen to it once again.
:I don't hear it. Does anyone else hear it? --{{User:DENNIS/parapet}} 16:45, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

== Weak/Weep ==

I hear "Weep". Anyone else? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 08:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
:The K sound is very distinct in the MP3. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== Really an email? ==

Tenchally strong bad never checked a email in the apprtl 200 sbemail so those it count are the tbc just fooling us your thouts
:Hmm, this actually might be a good point... we're treating this like it was the email... i wouldn't put it past TBC to come out with something REALLY huge next week and put it at [[HR:sbemail2hundred|sbemail2hundred]] or something like that, granted, this email DID feel a bit... sub-par for a milestone. I guess the question becomes what we do with this page if and when that happens... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:13, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
::Strong Sad clearly defines this as the two hundredth email in his easter egg. Though it makes me sceptical that there wasn't any widescreen like the hundredth email. --{{User:DENNIS/parapet}} 18:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I realized this earlier, and came to the conclusion that, under '''Remarks''', it should be mentioned as the first sbemail in which no character ''answers'' an email.{{User:Supuhstar}} 18:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
It seems like a standard email check to me.  Other than the grandiose entry, Strong Bad has a specific task to check his email.  The fact that he gets sidetracked is pretty irrelevant.  I'd compare it to [[huttah]], where the focus is far more about The Cheat than Strong Bad himself.  Not an identical comparison, of course, since he does answer things.  -- [[User:Organous|Organous]] 20:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
:Aside from the fact that SB never actually reads an email? Or answers it in any way? Not even [[Emails Taken in a Different Direction|takes it in a different direction]]? Seems like a lack-of-email to me... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:14, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
::Well, think of it this way: instead of Strong Bad taking it in a different direction, TBC took this email in a different direction by not having him answer it. All to say that I kind of doubt this anything but email 200; the fact that he never answered the email in the usual sense is likely meaningless. Strong Sad's Easter egg and the fact that you have the big list at the end of the email are pretty strong evidence. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 12:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I think that since it is linked to in the Sbemail page, then it most certainly is an email. {{User:WildFang/sig}} 17:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
::::That proves nothing. It's not like they can't change the email menu later once they think that we think it IS an email. the [[retirement]]s were originally separate emails, why not the email 200s?... Look at the facts. There was no email checked, they had TWO teasers for this email, and then it ended up being a bit... bleh. Like, they were making this big deal out of it, and then it sort of... fizzled. And Heimstern, your claim that the evidence of the easter egg and the big list are really null, given that they could do those to make people think it really is. Besides, the egg might be taken as further evidence that they're messing with us. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:24, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

::Let's see if I can interpret. I'm well-versed in YouTube. I think he's saying that the next toon would be cool if it were of SB checking the first email, then New Paper comes down, telling him to wake up. He does, then actually checks email 200. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

:In our role as stewards and documenterarians, it is not our place to interpret, it's our place to document what is. In this case, what is is that they called this sbemail 200 and it is. No further discussion is really needed. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:13, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
::Anyways, Strong Bad ''does'' check an email in this sbemail. Sure, it wasn't written to him, but it was obviously written to his email address. Heck, that's probably one of the reasons TBC chose this email to feature.
::As for Loafing and Qermaq: We can't report what we don't know for sure. I wouldn't say this is ''officially'' an email until sbemail201 comes out (or it is otherwise referenced on the site as an email). Just because it has sbemail in the url doesn't make it one.

:::True, but Not the 100th Email wasn't in the list at the end of this email, and it didn't appear on the list of Emails on the Compy, and it wasn't listed as "sbemail 100!" on the main page. This got (the equivalent of) all of those. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if [http://www.homestarrunner.com/hremail24 hremail 24] was a reference to [[sbemail 22]]. In sbemail 22 it said in the end, "BANNED IN THE UK" and in hremail 24 it just said "BANNED FOR CONTENT." This might be a reference because 22 and 24 are obviously close numbers. I'm just saying.

It seems to me that Strong Sad's 'Pills' are becoming a recurring theme/inside joke, as Homestar said 'I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills" while referring to [[long pants]]. In [[funny]] SS asked SB if he took his "pills' again. I think they deserve a page on the wiki. -Mooman72v2

I always found it a bother that anything, and I mean ANYTHING repeated on homestarrunner.com three times '''deserves''' an article.

== TMBG t-shirt ==

They Might Be giants had a t-shirt around the Mink Car era that listed all of their song titles with the band name in the middle (that, just out of coincidence, I happen to be wearing right now), in a style that is nearly identical to the last frame of this email.

:At this point, we don't know. Remember, it's technically only speculation that there will even '''be''' a sbemail 201.

== Is the reign of... ==

In the transcript (as well as the subtitle articles), Strong Sad "rolls" the "r" when saying "hremails." But it sounded like he's making a long, hard "h" sound when he says it. I know Matt can roll Rs easily as Strong Bad, Homestar, Larry Palaroncini, and even The Announcer (there might be other instances I skipped, though), but I've never heard him do it as Strong Sad. --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 16:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm kinda uneasy about deleting this one, since brianrietta was an early Tandy era email, before TBC really started updating sbemails alot, so a huge delay in the Lappy era is quite notable, and email thunder's delay is only a week shorter than brianrietta's... is there a better way to word this and make it trivia? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Strong Bad, how do you keep getting in here?" ==

There is sort of a reversal of rolls here. Usually Homestar gets into Strong Bad's house and Strong Bad asks how Homestar got in because HE is checking HIS email.

After nearly three months, I've been curious about something. Strong Bad doesn't use the print command like he did in [[autobiography]].

== Okay Fine! When will "it" happen? ==

It may be months before we either get A) another sbemail OR B) Official Confirmation that this is the end of sbemail. And knowing TBC, we may never get either of these. I keep trying to add a fact that states basically that this is either the longest delay between sbemails ever or that this is the last sbemail. One of these two facts is true and it has already reached noteworthy status. We will either get an email in which case this will be the longest delay on record, or we won't get an email in which case this is the end. But if the latter is the case, what sign are we looking for? When can we expect that sign? And how many more times is my edit going to be undone?

This is, in fact, the last sbemail. It is confirmed in the DVD commentary. There will be no more sbemails.

'''MATT:''' A millstone, Mike, a Millstone coffee. This email is like a cup of Millstone coffee.

'''MIKE:''' So, we still really haven't decided if there'll be more sbemails or not.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I've decided. 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there won't be. 

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' There won't be?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's&mdash; we're done.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

And

'''MATT:''' It's too bad this is the last email we're ever making. 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. 

'''MATT:''' For sure, I decided right now, for certain, never again.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Sorry. 

'''MIKE:''' I bet by the time this DVD's out we will have made one already.  

'''MATT:''' No. 

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Alright. 

'''MATT:''' I'm holdin' out.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. 

'''MATT:''' I have a sore throat and dia&mdash; diarrhea.  

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I'm sure everyone needed to know that.

Is this the first email where Strong Bad isn't the first character under ''Cast (in order of appearance):''? If so, we should add that to the page. If not, we should add it to the page of the first one.--[[User:T3H CH3K7 888|T3H_CH3K7_888]] 18:44, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:[[senior prom|No]], this is not the first such email, and I do not know whether that first email is "senior prom" or not. In any case, "This is the first Strong Bad Email where Strong Bad is not the first character to appear" is not a very notable or fun fact. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
::I agree. it seems irrelevant. (also, just as a side note, there was [[anything]] which came before [[senior prom]].) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:55, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Not Strong Bad? (different) ==

I'm sure that this is the first sbemail where Strong Bad doesn't sing the intro song. Shouldn't that be on the page?--[[User:T3H CH3K7 888|T3H_CH3K7_888]] 18:40, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:[[anything]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
::But nobody sings in that email. What I meant was, the first email where someone else sings the song.--[[User:T3H CH3K7 888|T3H_CH3K7_888]] 20:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

== Tigger? ==

What evidence is there that tail worn by Homestar when dressed up as Coach Z is a "Tigger" tail, rather than just a tiger tail?  Tigger's tail looks pretty much just like a normal tiger tail, except that as I remember the Disney toons, Tigger's tail is characteristically ''flat'' on the end.  The one in this toon is rounded.  According to the DVD Commentary transcript, they refer to it as a tiger tail, and don't say anything about Tigger.  I don't have the DVD, so I'm assuming the transcript here is accurate.  If TBC did indeed say "Tigger" on the commentary, well that's indisputable.  If they didn't, calling that tail a Tigger tail is total conjecture.

:Except most tigers are yellow and black, not bright orange... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
::If I remember correctly, Shere Khan and Hobbes are bright orange. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 01:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:::(And Tony.)  Defender is right about ''real'' tigers (whose tails tend to be nearly white no matter how deep orange the tiger is), but when it comes to ''cartoon'' tigers, I think straight-up orange is much more common.  And H*R is a cartoon.  And I think it's important to stress that the tail in question lacks the characteristic flattened end of Tigger's tail.

::::Wow, i never realized how many bright orange cartoon tigers there are... now that i think about it, Exxon also had a tiger who looks like tony's cousin... yeah, i'm gonna have to go with definite '''could be any number of things'''. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:58, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

== A Question ==

Doesn't Homestar clearly tell Strong Bad about his e-mail show in Hremail 7? I know that Hremail 7 was made after this toon, but it was supposed to be, you know, like a parody of early toons made back in 2001 and all.

== NavBar ==

Can someone change to navbar so that instead of some kinda robot it links to Hremail 3184?  {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Whoa, Big head! ==

Is it just me, or is Strong Bad's head bigger than usual in this one? I checked the size and his head is the same size as Homestar is from his cap (excluding buzzer) to the start of his shirt. Now, if I remember correctly, his head's usually been half (or more) that size. This could be added to Glitches or Fun Facts, though I needed to check if it's true before it's added.

Thanks,

== I'm just throwing a brick at the cellist, is all... ==

The song by TMBG was included in their [http://www.tmbg.com/_media/_pod/TMBGPodcast37A.mp3 Halloween Podcast] of that year, which also had [[Crystal Fortress]]. This is not mentioned in Fast Forward at all.

== Four-pin? Eight-pin? ==

Is it possible Homestar was talking about internal power connectors? Four-pin is the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector traditional connector]] used by disk drives (before SATA came along), and eight-pin is mainly used to provide supplimentary power to video cards. It's the only place I can think of where "four-pin" and "eight-pin" are real things. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 21:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
:Maybe, but he could also just be being homestar. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
::RJ14 phone cords are 4-pin and ethernet cables ([https://peigenesis.com RJ45]) are 8-pin.  Those are real things, and more likely to be thought of along with USB and firewire.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 09:45, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
:::Thinking it over, that probably should be in the fun facts somehow, instead of the garglemesh (or is it jargle?) that's there now.  Meh.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== You vs. Who==

I do hear You as well, so yeah, don't... don't touch that. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 06:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:It's definitely "who". "You" doesn't even make any contextual sense. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:: I... huh. I actually hear "you" from a semi-close listen. But I also agree that it makes no contextual sense. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:: PS. But it's very likely that the rising music is making the (semi)consonant less distinct, so I'm not going to fight for "you" and I'm going to say right here that it's very likely that it is, in fact, "who". Just that I can see where Ni and Reactive are coming from. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:32, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:::Foolishly, I assumed no argument would arise, I thought the change to "you" was going to be unchallenged after the first few edits. Here are my arguments:
:::#I listened to it on the site, on the DVD, and on YouTube, and I heard "you". Though I agree with Jay that the music might be getting in the way, tricking the listener's ears, I can't help but hear a strong "y".
:::#Homestar's tone in the sentence didn't seem 100% inquisitive to me. I've heard him use that tone in things like DVD commentaries for humor.
:::#Contextually, "And you can forget the time ..." can make sense, considering how [[long pants]] was an unpleasant email for Strong Bad. Maybe Homestar thought his actions were embarrassing as well.
:::{{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 13:47, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
::::It still makes no sense contextually, as the tone of voice matches the sentence being "who", not "you". Additionally, what sense does "And you can forget this instance, which is why I'm bringing it up as a point of fact!" make in ''any'' context? The context is thus: here is a flashback I am presenting, who could forget that this happened?
::::And no, for once, I will not take "It's Homestar, where does 'sense' enter into it?" as an excuse. =3 He's not being silly here, so it doesn't work. From a previous edit summary, "[[theme park|hide and seek]]" and "[[dreamail|white clowns]]" ''do'' make sense contextually, on the grounds of "Homestar is dumb, and repeating back something that he misheard" (or, metatextually, "for humour").
::::Anyway, those are my points. Assess them as you will. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 14:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:::::The tone isn't right for an embarrassing time, as DG said. I agree that one could clearly hear a "Y" sound. I also hear how the intention was CLEARLY "who" and any misspoken consonant is merely a mistake. That said, I think that, much as I'd like it to be just "who", the logical thing to do is put a visible sic there like in [[imaginary]] by "Strong Bad and Scotty Titi". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::Before I saw this discussion, I had only seen the back-and-forth edits to the article. I listened to the toon, expecting the word to be muddy or ambiguous, but to my surprise it's very clearly... "you". No question in my mind. As far as the structure of the sentence, I'll agree that it makes ''less'' sense, but I won't go so far as to say it makes ''no'' sense. Regardless, the article needs to show what he says, which is "you". &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
