-	''{instead of saying "- - -", he mumbles "henna" three times. After reading his own name, he stops reading and says, "Whoa! Three hennas! Must be an important one!" Then he continues reading. After the comma, he says "unnecessary comma," and he pronounces "Allison" as "All is on"}''
-
-	'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Television?!! Kids?!! Wait, do you people think I'm intended for children? Like, the littlest, tiniest babies? You know, that watch those shows on public television. I don't think I'm cut out for that type of sugarjob.

-	''{Cut to a piece of yellow paper used for teaching Kindergartners writing. Strong Bad is super-imposed on it with a bazooka gun, a monster with horns, a bunny with fangs, and a creature that resembles a man sticking its tongue out are drawn in crayon around him.}''
-
-	'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Smiling beatifically}'' Okay, kids, we're gonna play "Where's The Cheat?". Can you say, "a-The Cheat"?
-
-	'''KIDS:''' ''{half incoherent}'' The Cheat. ''{one child mumbles}'' Christopher Columbus.
-
-	'''STRONG BAD:''' Not good enough. F minus minus. ''{"F--" appears on the screen. A buzz sound is heard. Cut back to Strong Bad. Behind him are a tree and an open box. A toilet is in front of him.}'' All right, dumb children. ''{rubs his hands together}'' Find The Cheat! ''{The Cheat comes out from behind the box.}''

-	'''KIDS:''' ''{say things like "He's over there," or "Right there." They continue saying this.}''
-
-	'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, no, he's behind the box. ''{Turns around and points to The Cheat}'' No, uh, he's not even ''behind'' the box, he's barely ''obscured'' by the box. ''{turns around}'' Look, ''The Cheat is behind the freaking box!!'' ''{Kids stop talking and the music soundtrack screeches to a halt. Strong Bad comes closer to the viewer.}'' HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!![[#Footnote|(1)]]  ''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

-	'''STRONG BAD:''' So, you can see how that might be less than pleasant. What with all the letter writing and the angry mothers and the subsequent stringing me up in town square for all to see. But you know who's a natural for that sorta thing? None other than America's favourite blue midget Homestar: Homsar!!

''{An orange with "abc" on it appears behind Homsar. A lot of Homsars now appear and disappear.}''  All 'cause we say, ''{A red Homsar with a flag appears. White liquid spills onto the screen.

-	'''HOMSAR:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy totebag!

Strong Bad Email #110

Allison wonders what a Strong Bad television series would be like.

Cast (in order of appearance): Strong Bad, Rather Dashing, Kerrek, The Cheat, Homsar

Date: August 9, 2004

Contents 1 Footnote 2 Easter Eggs 3 Fun Facts 3.1 Trivia 3.2 Remarks 3.3 Goofs 3.4 Glitches 3.5 Inside References 3.6 Real-World References 4 External Links

Footnote

(1) There has been ensuing debate over whether Strong Bad says "dogs" or "dolls" at this point. A poll conducted about this seems to point toward "dogs" being most accepted as correct

Easter Eggs

• At the end, click on the words "good gravy" to see the KOT's new food product.
• Also at the end click "crap" to see a CD jewel case and hear a sample of All is On's album.

Fun Facts

Trivia

This is the third time that Strong Bad does not use the word "email" at the beginning of the email.

Remarks

• The commands Strong Bad uses in Peasant's Quest were not originally part of the game but were added after this email debuted. It is impossible to get a negative score in the real game, despite Strong Bad's miserable showing. Also, the Kerrek is not seen in one of the areas he is usually found in within Peasant's Quest.
  • This isnt true, the area of the map that Strong Bad was playing in was 'Kerrek's tracks 2'
• The positions of the crayon graphics in the first scene are all rearranged when the scene zooms in on SB's face.

Goofs

• When Homsar talks after the G shows up (complete with various head movements and hat flyings, as per usual), his shadow stands still.

Glitches

• You can click on the "All Is On" easter egg then click on the CD case then the easter egg case to have the all is on song singing over itself.

Inside References

• Strong Bad refers to hosting a kids' show as a "sugarjob," echoing the email sugarbob.
• One of the crayon drawings in Strong Bad's show looks similar to Dijjery-Doo.
• The drawing in top right corner of Strong Bad's show is the gelatinous monster from kids' book.

Real-World References

• The Party Mix CD with the song "All Is On" is a parody of the various "Kidz Bop!" and other 'kid-safe' albums. The spine of the CD reads "Songs we found on the street".
• The item on the top left corner of Strong Bad's show looks like the SNES accessory Super Scope.
• The fake show hosted by Strong Bad is a spoof of many children's shows; the kids heard shouting the answers to Strong Bad's questions are taken from the show Blue's Clues. Strong Bad's show is actually a curious reversal of Blue's Clues; in Blue's Clues the kids know all the answers but the host is completely clueless.
• The way Homsar enters and walks closer to the viewer is from the British kids' show "Bod". This is likely, as The Brothers Chaps have claimed that Bod was one of their influences.
• The opening theme/scene of Homsar's show has some similarities to the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney.
• The noise Homsar makes when he teleports around sound like the PBS show Boobah.
• The Guitar Playing Man is possibly a reference to folk singer James Taylor who made numerous appearances on childrens TV Program Sesame Street often singing educational songs. The Man is also similar in appearance to James Taylor, for example on the Gorilla album cover.
