[edit] Trivia

  • Though illegible normally, the paper on Strong Bad's desk can be read if zoomed in:
Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?

a. an ounce c. a week
b. a weak d. pepper
  • This is the first mention of cinnamon.
  • This is the first time an index card has appeared.

[edit] Remarks

  • The sign on Strong Bad's desk is misspelled as "Prinicpal Strong Bad". This spelling reappears in CGNU and Teen Girl Squad Issue 8, establishing it as the "correct" spelling for Strong Bad's academic title.
  • The second Dokle cabinet in Theme Song Video used the numeral "2", while the quiz refers to its name with the Roman numeral "II".
  • If you get a perfect score, Strong Bad jogs the papers on the desk wearing his boxing gloves as normal. His hands move down behind the desk, and seconds later, without moving, he is seen wearing oven mitts.

[edit] Goofs

  • Cinnamon is spelled incorrectly as "cinammon" on the recipe card.
  • Manufactured is misspelled as "maufactured" on question number 8.

[edit] Glitches

  • If you really are Strong Bad's kind of person, there's a glitch in the quiz that will allow you to cheat. Simply hold the mouse button down on an answer and it'll tell you if it's right or wrong. Keep holding the mouse button and move your mouse away from the answers before you let go. It won't count it as an answer, so you can pick again. The red X or check mark that appears will remain, however.
  • Very rarely, even without earning a perfect score, Strong Bad will stop in the middle of his line and start saying the "perfect score line".
