===Trivia===

===Explanations===
-
*This is the first email to include The Poopsmith in person (he was only on a playing card in [[your friends]]).
+
*A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" is the classic style of advertising used for monster truck rallies.
-
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Awexome Cross 98! This SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SOMEDAY! Limozeen drops they numba one jam 'Because, It's Midnite' on an unsuspecting public!"
+
-
 
+
-
===Remarks===
+
-
*For some reason, in the picture of Limozeen, there are four extra hands floating around the band members. One is in front of [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] and [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]], one behind Perry, one behind [[Gary Palaroncini|Gary]] and the last one behind Larry.
+
-
*In the "Awexome Cross" ad and the "someday" Easter egg, the bass player plays his first note a step too high, then corrects himself on the second beat.
+
-
*As with a few other cartoons on the website, the King of Town is oddly using an older design for this email.
+
-
*The Paper comes down slightly faster than most other emails.
+
-
*Strong Bad doesn't capitalize either Sunday when he types them.
+
-
*The King of Town apparently had to give Strong Bad a bucket of chicken to get in, despite the fact that he is part of the show.
+

===Goofs===
+
-
*The shadow of the fence starts a fair distance out from the fence itself, and the shadow for the end of the fence is strangely jagged.

===Real-World References===
===Real-World References===
-
*A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" or any word repeated, as if an echo, is a common style of advertising used for {{w|monster truck|monster truck events}}. It was first popularized by motorsport announcer {{w|Jan C. Gabriel}}.
+
*The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is the same as the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil Evel Knievel during his famous motorcycle jumps.
-
*The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is similar to the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil {{w|Evel Knievel}} during his famous motorcycle jumps.  However, in design (specifically, the red and blue head-to-toe piping with stars) it is actually closer to the jumpsuit worn by hapless stuntman {{w|Super Dave Osborne}}. The image of The Cheat inside the tire is also a possible allusion to one of Super Dave's more famous (and disastrous) stunts, where he rode in the center of a giant yo-yo.
+
*The bottles of maple syrup around the cardboard box are designed similarly to those of Mrs. Butterworth's, a famous syrup brand.

+
*The e-mail is signed 'Stan and Loretta', possibly a Monty Python reference (on the part of the sender). In the movie [[Wikipedia:Life of Brian|Life of Brian]], Eric Idle plays a man named Stan who wishes to be a woman, insisting that his friends call him Loretta.
-
*The line "Let's do this like Brutus" comes from [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/de-la-soul/skit-1.html a skit] on the [[De La Soul]] album ''{{w|De La Soul Is Dead}}'', itself a reference to {{w|Public Enemy}} song "{{w|Bring the Noise}}".
+
*The line "Let's do this like Brutus" is a reference to the Public Enemy song "Bring the Noise."
-
*The chicken bucket that says "KnF'nC" combines {{w|Kentucky Fried Chicken}} with a reference to [[Guns N' Roses]], who used the abbreviation "Gn[[swears|F'n]]R" during the ''{{w|Use Your Illusion}}'' era. The 2000-2004 incarnation of the band contained guitarist {{w|Buckethead}}, who wears a KFC bucket on his head like a hat.
+
*The chicken bucket that says "KnF'nC" may be a reference to Guns 'n Roses' "Use Your Illusion" CD, in which a page in the liner notes says, "GnF'nR", and the fast food chain KFC.

*"Awexome Cross 98" is available on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current game menu]] with more levels.

== Glitches ==
-
*In [[Strong Badia the Free]], a surprisingly eloquent Homsar utters the phrase "Let's do this like Brutus" after Strong Bad temporarily gains the ability to understand his "language".

*Originally if you held the space bar on [[Awexome Cross]], you literally floated in the air. It didn't help dodge obstacles, though.

*The first email in which Strong Bad refers to the sender by an incorrect name is actually [[invisibility]], in which he calls sinstudly17 "dumb name"{{--}}though he had given senders nicknames and has misspelled or mispronounced names prior to this.
 
-
*[[Wikipedia:Evel Knievel|Evel Knievel]] was a stunt performer known for attempting daredevil ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. He retired from stunt jumps in 1977 (making his final stunt show appearance in 1980), hence Matt's comment about Knievel's relative lack of popularity by 1987.
