== Fun Facts ==
== Fun Facts ==
-
===Explanations===
+
*The game(s) in the floppy disk holder are "Tengen Classics" Tengen was a front for Atari, allowing Atari to make games (illegally) for the NES.
-
*A [[Wikipedia:Hi-top fade|High top fade]] is a hairstyle where the hair on the sides are cut short and the hair on the top of the head remains long and sticks up.
+
*On the "Light Pen" it says "Fine Tip Permanent Marker".
-
 
+
*The Deutschman comic book is published by [[Cheap as Free]]. The comic is a reference to [[superhero name]].
-
=== Trivia ===
+
**Both comics have a parody of the old Spiderman head that's in the bottom corner of the old Marvel comics (except that it's Strong Bad's head instead of Spiderman's).
-
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#tengen classix|tengen classix]]".
+
*"Deutsch" is German for "German".
-
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad struggles to answer an email about haircuts."
+
*[[Strong Bad]]'s "permanent" marker isn't permanent at all.
-
 
+
*Here's a list of the different eyebrow styles:
-
===Remarks===
+
**"Gentleman Caller"
-
*"Barbzerdry" is a [[portmanteau]].
+
**"Jagged Metal"
-
*The cardboard box has "GLUTEMATES (BOX OF 6)" very faintly printed on it.
+
**"Hammer Pants"
-
*Strong Bad's [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker|"permanent" marker]] apparently isn't permanent at all, although permanent markers frequently rub off smooth surfaces, such as the Polaroid picture of Strong Mad.
+
***Hammer Pants were those pants MC Hammer used to wear and made famous.
-
**A few times, he does not wipe all of the Polaroid, yet all the marker is erased.
+
**"Big Ol' Eyebrows"
-
*Strong Bad can [[Wikipedia:Germanic umlaut|umlaut]] his U's and O's unusually quickly. Normally, when one needs to change the language on their keyboard, they use special keyboard shortcuts.
+
**"A Dog And Also A Cat Shaped Eyebrows" (and a couple of muskrats)
-
**Also, he mispronounces his umlauted "U"s and "O"s.
+
**"Ready For [[Prime Time|Primetime]]"
-
*The "Gentleman Caller" bears a striking resemblance to [[Old Timey Strong Bad]]'s mustache and hair.
+
***After Strong Mad talks about "Sweetycakes", Strong Bad draws Eh! Steve and says "Eh, Greg!," contrary to his usual "Eh, Steve!"
-
*The font for the Deutschman comic book logo is the same as the one used for the words that flash on-screen when Homestar says Neva-Die in the email [[car]].
+
*Strong Bad must have a pretty spiffy keyboard. He can Umlaut (oom-louwt) his "O"s really quickly. Normally you need to change the language on your keyboard or use alt commands (&ouml;).
-
*There are no words in the English language that begin with "ghe" that fit the context of what Strong Bad is typing when he is interrupted.
+
*The box says "GLUTEMATES (BOX OF 6)". (it's faded)
-
*Strong Bad says he has no hair, yet in the following email, [[theme park]], it is shown that he at least has the ability to grow a (very thin) mustache.
+
*A light pen is kind of like the thing that John Madden uses. You know, the "this guy went here, this other guy went WAY around here and BOOM!" thing with the yellow writing on the screen!
-
*The guitar that [[Strong Bad]] draws on [[Strong Mad]]'s picture is a [[Gibson Flying V|Flying V]].
+
*In the "napping [[Strong Sad]]" easter egg, Strong Sad is naming off Smurfs in his sleep. Smurf names mentioned by [[Strong Sad]] in his sleep:
-
**It also appears to be a bass, based on the number of strings Strong Bad draws on it.  Strong Mad is shown to be a capable bass player in [[Cool Tapes]], [[Weclome Back]], and [[Baddest of the Bands]].
+
**Jokey Smurf
-
*Marzipan states her hair is a weave, implying that the length is due to hair extensions and is not her actual hair.
+
**Brainy Smurf
-
 
+
**"That Carpenter Smurf"
-
===Goofs===
+
***(probably referring to Handy Smurf but forgetting his name)
-
*In the Easter egg containing Strong Bad singing the box song, his arms are much longer than normal.
+
*[[Strong Sad]] goes on to say "Watch out Julian Sands!" ref. to a British horror film actor.
-
*When Strong Bad is drawing on Strong Mad's picture in the close up, the Compy is much brighter than usual.
+
**in Julian Sands film, he chops off his girlfriends legs and arms because he wanted to do everything for her, and than the police sneak up on him and bashed him on his head.
-
*One can click on "eyebrow style" and "napping Strong Sad" through the Strong Badman comic.
+
*The face that [[Strong Bad]] has drawn on [[Strong Sad]] in his sleep loosely resembles "Tendafoot," the elephant he drew in [[crying]] which he claimed represented Strong Sad.
-
<!--Strong Mad's eyebrows are not missing! They are just out of frame in the picture.-->
+
*If [[Strong Bad]] really did have a nickel for every email he has done up through this one, he would have $5.15.
-
 
+
**Actually, he does receive a quarter for each email address he gives Bubs, as per [[unused emails]].
-

-

'''MATT:''' What do you guys think of this? Do you really think this is from a dude in Germany? It sounds like from a German, actually, even.

-
'''RYAN:''' Wasn't ''Düsseldorf'' John Denver's real last name?

'''JON:''' more American.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Yeah, definitely.
+
-
 
+
-
'''RYAN:''' I like the blurry backgrounds.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' You do that? You like that? The rack focus, sorta?
+
-
 
+
-
'''RYAN:''' I do.
+

'''MATT:''' Well I guess we're not rack focusing, but{{--}}

+
-
'''RYAN:''' Marzipan has some blonde hair.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' She does. She's mostly bald on top. She has a very receded hair line.

'''JON:''' I wanna{{--}} I wanna Easter egg right there on the word "wizardry" which shows that screenshot from{{--}}

'''JON:''' Not lately, man. I mean, Shark-Tooth Bubs is a central figure on the site now.

'''RYAN:''' Um, I like how you guys rub off sharpie from the Polaroid{{--}}

+
-
 
+
-
''{All three laugh in turn}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Totally.
+
-
 
+
-
'''JON:''' Polaroids are actually a great dry-erase surface. I don't know if you know that.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' If you're using a dry-erase marker it probably would work, but not the sharpie.

'''JON:''' Not the permanent... See, we're just setting up the{{--}}later on, he's gonna have a tough time rubbing off paint pen.

''{Matt and Jon laugh}''

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' I think so. I think that's "Deutsch", correct? And with "man" added in.
+
-
 
+
-
'''RYAN:''' Deutschmarks.
