Fun Facts

Hidden title

Trivia

  • The photos used for the background of the CD/Cassette/8-track cover have "corbis.com" in the bottom left corner of them. (It's most noticeable on the 8-Tracks: just zoom in.)
  • In older versions of the flash, the phone number at the end was 1-800-BAD-SONG. That was changed because it turned out that was a real number for a Limousine service in the New York area.
  • There is another title in the song list that was never shown in the toon. It's called "Keep On Keepin' It On (I Am So Awesome)". A screen capture is shown.
  • Mike Chapman is the voice of Announcer 2.

Remarks

  • Strong Mad's eyebrows are gray for this cartoon.
  • The phone number at the end is 13 digits long. Normal infomercials have 10 digits in the phone number.

Inside References

  • The song "Who is the Guy That Wins All the Contests?" is a reference to the song Strong Bad sings to himself in A Jumping Jack Contest.
  • At the beginning, Strong Bad sings, "Every time that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am!" This is a reference to the Strong Bad wallpaper in the Downloads section, which says the same thing (though it could be the other way around).

Real-World References

  • At the end, the commentator says to call 1-800-428-64 tooty-two. This phone number actually belongs to Tank Technologies and Supply in Rogers, MN, assuming tooty-two is 22.
