[[Image:50cake.PNG|thumb|"I hope there's no hard feelings."]]
[[Strong Bad]] is, quite understandably, disgusted by [[The Poopsmith]]. However, unlike other characters he dislikes, he is rarely abusive to The Poopsmith. This might be less because he likes The Poopsmith and more because, as he notes in [[your friends]], "the guy shovels crap for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof".

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi this is Marzipan. I'm off volunteering in the Coches Mountains, teaching the heathens how to bend pipe cleaners. I'll be back in—

''{Strong Sad's arm appears and he presses the "record" button.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sorry, Marzy.

''{Cut to full view of Strong Sad in front of the table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rolls R}'' Grrrreetings weary telephone traveler. I sense you have come in search of Marzipan, but you have stumbled upon so much more. 'Tis I, Strong Sad, house-sitter extraordinaire. Please organize your thoughts for Marzipan in order of least depressing to most depressing. As for crank calls, allow me to give you a theme: furtive glances.

''{Strong Sad presses the button again. Cut to full view of Strong Sad in front of the table.}''

''{Cut to a black screen with red lettering reading "SOON..."}''

===Message 6===

Strooong Baaad calling for... Strooong Saaad... uh, I'm gonna knee you in the face... for breakfast? Hold on, let me reconfigure and call back.

===Message 5===

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Ella Phantzgerald. I left some of my stuff over at Marzipan's the last time she always had me over there for dinner all the time. So when you come home, could you be sure to grab my Marzipan's TV, my Marzipan's guitar and amp, and oh yeah, my Marzipan's cash and her jewelery. ''{A silhouette of Strong Bad carrying a large object walks across the screen}'' If you do, the chance of dead things in your bed drops into the 42 percent range!

''{Zoom out to reveal Strong Bad carrying a large [[Instruments#Amplifier|guitar amp]] with jewels hanging on the corner. Strong Sad is standing next to the answering machine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang, Marzipan, you sounding fine. You sound finer than the fine you get when you return a movie late to the movie store!

''{Zoom out to reveal Homestar standing next to, and facing away from, Strong Sad and the answering machine. Strong Sad has a disgusted look on his face. Homestar is actually speaking as opposed to the sound being a recorded message.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're even sounding finer than a three dollar fine for new releases! Maybe I should swing by for a lit—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Hands on hips, yelling at Homestar, angrily}'' That is ''quite'' enough!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Turns around, surprised}'' Oh! Marzipan! ''{Dejected}'' You look, um, gray... -t. Is that a new... skin you're wearing?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{angrier}'' It's Strong Sad!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It is! It is strong sad and strong unfortunate what happened to your face! ''{Gets right up in Strong Sad's face}'' Ooh! Pyoww!

''{He runs off-screen, then runs back on, and gets back in Strong Sad's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Call me! Pyoww!

''{He runs off-screen again}''

===Message 3===

'''COACH Z:''' What a crock! This is not what I plunked 9 bucks in quarters into a broken pay phone to hear! Strong Sad, remind me to kick your shins unmercifully next time I see ya! And also, ya think the five hundred feet from Marzipan's house thing still counts if she's not in it? Cause I cop some sweet gooseflesh when I hit that four hundred 'n ninety-seven foot range. Ooh! Creeped myself out there. Gonna hang up!

===Message 2===

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Munching}'' What? Sorry, I didn't hear your outgoing message. I was choking down a chocolate dipped tapeworm. Anyways, agent Panzimar, about the plot against S. Sad, things are moving along just as planned. Hit a snag with step 2, though: the camel died and was decidedly undelicious. Will move forward with barrel of hot sauce approach. Provided that makes it past dinner time, look for my signal in the northwest sky. Ting of Kown, out!

===Message 1===

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Sad! What did you do to my outgoing message? Those things are like my adopted foreign babies! Anyway, I forgot to tell you that a guy named Slick Somebody called from a place called—

''{Cut to wide shot of the room. Strong Sad is gone. There are foot imprints are in the carpet where he stood.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —Marzipan's Stupid Face plumbing, and said he replaced my toilet's Roman candle valve? Whatever that is. So maybe don't flush the toilet until—

Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship

2009-02-10T14:48:08Z

158.123.253.2: /* Homestar offending Marzipan */

[[Image:Marzipan Frowns in Narrator.PNG|thumb|"...until a dorky chef's hat threatened to tear them apart."]]
[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Marzipan]], although officially dating, have a rather tenuous '''relationship''', as has been evidenced several times. While they are occasionally affectionate toward one another, their relationship is most often strained, as Strong Bad observes when he refers to Marzipan as Homestar's "estranged girlfriend". Homestar frequently insults Marzipan (although he may not realize that he is doing so), and Marzipan occasionally treats Homestar with contempt. Occasionally, they even break up or mention breaking up. Nevertheless, they always end up together again. Marzipan, at least, regards their relationship as [[Wikipedia:open relationship|open]], and as such has gone on dates with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]]. Homestar's chagrin at this shows that he does not agree with Marzipan's assessment of their relationship as open.

A few [[characters]], as well as their respective counterparts in [[1936]] and [[20X6]], have an apparent '''lack of intelligible speech'''. However, the audience is usually able to understand the basics what these characters attempt to communicate, either through their actions and facial expressions, through other intelligible-speaking characters' reactions, or, rarely, through on-screen subtitles.

==Characters with a lack of intelligible speech==
===[[The Cheat]]===
[[Image:Learn to speak.PNG|thumb|Learn to speak The Cheat]]
The Cheat speaks only in squeaks and animal-sounding grunts and yelps that occasionally resemble actual words. In [[cheat talk]], after failing to get him to say something normal like "Douglas", it is suggested that the viewers have to learn how to speak "The Cheat". Subsequently, in an Easter egg of that same email, a short recording teaches a few phrases of the indecipherable language. The other characters, while able to understand The Cheat perfectly, can't speak in his language. In the email [[coloring]], The Cheat may have said "Okay". Notably, although he only expresses himself using these "The Cheat noises", he has been shown to be able to use (or at least mimick) normal speech, as he presumably provides the voices for all of his [[Powered by The Cheat]] animations.

The Cheat's [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, [[The Sneak]], communicates only by wiggling his nose (except in [[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]], where he spoke normally when delivering a telegram), and his [[20X6]] counterpart, [[Cheatball]], has yet to say anything beyond his own name.

===[[Pom Pom]]===
Pom Pom speaks through sounds resembling bubbles. Like The Cheat, every character shows a clear and definitive understanding of his speech. (This is occasionally used for humorous effect, when the audience is left to infer that Pom Pom said something outrageous or off-color by the other characters' reactions to him.) In [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], Strong Bad attempts to pose as Pom Pom by, among other things, mimicking his speech: "Hey, give me that! Uh, I mean — bubble, bubble-dee-bubble. Dubble Bubble." Also, in [[senior prom]], Homestar accepts the prom king award on Pom Pom's behalf, and in doing so, gargles [[Listerine]] in an attempt to imitate his friend. Pom Pom's old-timey counterpart, [[Fat Dudley]], speaks by singing a simple, jazzy "boh-boh-boh" tune. His 20X6 counterpart, [[Pan Pan]], speaks by making a bouncing noise, ie, "Badalang, Bagalang".

===[[Sherlock]]===
Sherlock, the helicopter/cow from Strong Bad's [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]], speaks only through indistinct mumbling. No other character has shown or demonstrated the ability to understand what Sherlock has ever "said".

===[[Strong Mad]]===
Although [[Strong Mad]] can be understood most of the time, his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart does not speak, although he does growl and roar when appropriate.

===[[The Poopsmith]]===
The Poopsmith has been noted as having taken a vow of silence, but is still able to communicate in some ways. An ironic example of this was when, in [[senior prom]], The Poopsmith was the lead vocalist of [[All the King's Men!]]. Since, unlike other characters, The Poopsmith makes almost no vocal sounds at all, he seems to communicate mainly in the form of gestures such as shrugs of the shoulders and thumbs-up; additionally, he has communicated by holding up written [[The Poopsmith's Signs|signs]]. In [[different town]], Strong Bad claimed that one thing he would change about his town is that "the Poopsmith, he could talk". However, every two hundred Strong Bad Emails, The Poopsmith breaks his vow of silence to sing, as shown in [[email thunder]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh...so many emails, so little good emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">What's up with Homsar? I know he's 
weird and all, but don't you think we 
deserve to know a bit more about him? 
I think you should do an interview so 
we can finally find out what his 
deal is. 
 
Kerrek 
PA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "PA" as "P-A".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's a pretty cool name! ''{typing in a Gothic blackletter font}'' And then Trogdor smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to burnination. ''{Clears the screen, starts typing normally}'' My good Kerrek, you might enjoy such an encounter, but I know I can't talk to that guy for more than about 3 seconds before I start thinking that gnawing my own leg off might be a more better way to spend my time...more...more better. ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Let me show you how it would go down with post-its attached to the top of pens.

''{Strong Bad ducks his head and brings up two pens with sticky notes attached to them, one with a crude drawing of Strong Bad, the other of Homsar. Strong Bad does the voices for both puppets.}''

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' All right, then. For the record, please. Tell us who you are.

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a song from the sixties!

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' That's just nonsense. Are you trying to make some sense?

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' AaAaA! Rightio! I think I can twice!

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' Homsar, tell us about your childhood.

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' DaAa! I was raised by a cup of coffee.

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' Interesting. So! How did you end up here?

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' 'Twas the pride of the peaches.

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' 'Twas the pride of the peaches, huh? You got any last remarks?

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' DaAaA! Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' Okay, interview over. Commence beating! ''{Strong Bad starts beating the Homsar puppet with the Strong Bad puppet.}''

''{The doorbell rings. Cut to a wide shot of Strong Bad kneeling in front of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That'll be the Cheat with my Thai iced tea! Come on in!

''{Cut to the entryway. Homsar shuffles in.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?

''{His hat stays an inch above his head. Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... I can only assume you're talking to me and asking about Strong Sad. He's in the basement.

''{Cut to Homsar. His hat falls down.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' ''{His hat makes a full loop as he says this.}'' I'm a song from the sixties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad, who is now sitting on the stool and shaking salt on his leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you don't get down there quick, things could get real ugly around here.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

''{After a while, The Cheat shows up with Strong Bad's Thai iced tea but Strong Bad doesn't notice him. The Cheat then walks away.}'' ''{Strong Bad continues salting his leg indefinitely.}

== Easter Eggs ==
*Once Strong Bad starts typing and the name Kerrek comes up, you can click on it and bring up a Strong Sad-style drawing of [[Trogdor]] smiting the [[Kerrek]].
*Click on Strong Bad's or Homsar's [[Sticky Notes|sticky-note]] figures to see a few different versions. You can do this throughout the whole email.
*Once you see Homsar, you can click on the bottom lightswitch for the lighting effects from [[techno]] and the top one to turn the other lights off. This happens only until the scene changes back to Strong Bad.
*After The Paper comes down, you can click on the floppy disk near the two puppets to bring up the [[Homsar Main Page]].
**The original version of the Homsar Main Page had only the Toons and Games buttons. After it was added as an Easter egg on the [[Main Pages]], it was normalized to fit in (more or less) with the rest of the menus.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
[[Image:interviewwithmainpagefeatures.PNG|thumb|An email and a main page in one!]]
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#rise of the dragon|rise of the dragon]]".
*All of the objects for the Homsar Main Page are included as part of this email's Flash file. Using a seek bar to view the menu page before viewing the email, and then watching the email afterward, causes all of the features from external Flash files normally used on the main pages (i.e. the homepage list, the "What's New" button) appear during the rest of the email.
**This can also be accomplished in the Flash file by viewing the Homsar main page, right-clicking, and then choosing "Rewind" or "Play".
*As popular as the idea has become, Homsar never actually said he was raised by a cup of coffee.
*The words written on the Homsar sticky notes are (in order): "Stoop", "Gomp", and "bread??".

===Remarks===
*The salt shaker never runs out of salt at the end of the email. (In [[anything]], a bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] acts the same way and [[Homestar Runner]] comments on it.)

===Goofs===
*For some reason, the table's shadowing is not complete, so a brighter brown bar appears under the Compy after Homsar's first scene.
*The sticky notes and pens do not cast reflections on the Compy's screen.
*A small blue dot is visible at the bottom of Homsar's right foot. It is best seen when viewing the Flash file and zooming in.
*The sticky notes, if clicked on and altered in that way, after it pans back at any time from Homsar, is always back to the default, as if it were never clicked.
*After the camera goes back to Strong Bad, the Compy's contrast buttons are gone.

===Inside References===
*One of Strong Bad's sticky-note alter egos is his action figure from the email [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad referring to salting and eating his own foot recalls [[island]], where he says, while pondering what life on a deserted island with Homestar would be like, "And at some point my foot would look like a sandwich and I'd put salt on it and try to eat it and it's like, 'Oh, no! It's my foot!'"
*The second Strong Bad sticky-note drawing (the one showing him running) is similar to the caricature of him seen in a [[vacation]] Easter egg.
*The Strong Sad-style drawing of Trogdor smiting the Kerrek was first seen in the email [[dragon]] when Strong Bad was singing about Trogdor.
*There is another appearance of [[bread]] in the Easter egg.

===Real-World References===
*The phrase "Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk" was said by [[Wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaquille O'Neal]] in his first [[Wikipedia:Reebok|Reebok]] commercial [http://www.sportscenteraltar.com/phrases/usage.asp?ID=125].
*The flying skull-like Strong Bad head is a reference to the Bubble, an enemy from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda series]].
*[[Wikipedia:Thai tea|Thai iced tea]] is a chilled drink made with red tea, anise, sugar and condensed milk.

===Fast Forward===
*The Kerrek appears later in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Sticky-note Homsar's quote "I was raised by a cup of coffee" gives rise to the motto on the back of the [http://store.yahoo.com/homestarrunner/rabycupofco.html Homsar - Raised by Cup of Coffee shirt] in the [[Store]], which reads "Raised by a Cup of Coffee".
*The "bat winged Strong Bad head" seen on the sticky note was later seen in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]]
*Homsar's parents were later seen in an Easter egg in [[fan club]].
*Homsar would say "I'm a song from the sixties" in [[Strong Badia the Free]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, here comes little e-mail, with a gun in his hand...

''{reading}''
<blockquote class="email">hi there strong bad, 
 
i was just wondering, when is 
dangeresque 3 comeing out? 
 
yours truly, 
john newell, on</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "comeing" as it is written ("koh-may-ing") He also pronounces "john newell, on" (Ontario) as "johnny well, on."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. I left my Johnny Well on. ''{He deletes "on" and types "off."}'' Johnny Well: off.

''{The sound of a large machine powering down is heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, peoples won't leave me alone about this one! ''{clears screen, typing}'' Okay, okay, okay, okay. Dangeresque 3 production update! Day 114: Things are comeing ''{again pronounced "koh-may-ing"}'' along right on schedule. So far, we seem to have only hit one major snag. Um, and that is I haven't um, ''{as he types, the text gets smaller and Strong Bad speaks under his breath}'' made Dangeresque 3 yet. ''{clears screen, text size returns to normal}'' But, before you start throwing full wine bottles at your computer screen, let me offer this as a cop-out: the digitally remastered director's cut of: ''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?''

''{Cut via static to Strong Bad wearing his Dangeresque glasses, sitting in the [[Gremlin]], pretending to drive and humming the Dangeresque theme tune. The Cheat repeatedly runs by in the background holding a small tree to give the impression of movement. A card is held up in front of the camera, moving around a little, reading: Dangeresque 1: "Dangeresque, Too?" followed by another, reading "Not in 3-D."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Brring... brring...'' Oh, my car phone. ''{He picks up a VCR with a phone cord coming out of it.''} You got Dangeresque. Who this is?

''{Cut to Coach Z in his Renaldo costume. He is looking straight at the camera.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering, off-screen}'' Yeah, go, go.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{He turns away from the camera and holds an [[Disconnected Telephones|unplugged phone]] receiver up to his ear.}'' Dangeresque, it's Renaldo. I need you back here away, right? I mean, right away.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' Uh, I'm in a car right now, but I can drive it to the office.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{unemotionally}'' Sounds like a plan. ''{turns back to the camera}'' How was tha—

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his car.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hang on, car phone! Get ready for some fancy driving!

''{Strong Bad makes the sound of a car squealing around corners while the camera moves left to make it seem as if he's moving forwards. One of the Gremlin's hubcaps rolls from the left of the screen. We then cut to the office. Strong Bad opens the door and walks in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What took you so long?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I had to swing by Cool Weapons Surplus for a new nunchuck gun. ''{He holds up a gun with a [[Wikipedia:Nunchaku|nunchaku]] taped to it.}'' And a Reesy Cup milkshake. ''{He holds up a milkshake cup with "Reesy Cup" printed on it.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, anyways, I called you in to meet your new partner: Dangeresque, too?

''{The camera pans right to Homestar Runner, wearing sunglasses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The name's Dangeresque. Nice to meet ya.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaaa?

'''COACH Z:''' Dangeresque!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah? 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? ''{simultaneously}''

''{They both turn and glare at each other to the accompaniment of a shock riff made by Strong Bad over the top.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Perducci's intercepted the serum at the border! ''{He holds up the [[Periodicals|newspaper]] from [[stunt double]], this time with a taped-on headline reading "PERDUCCI IS THE BAD GUY."}'' If that serum doesn't make it through, they'll kidnap Cutesy Buttons!

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shaking fists}'' Perducci!

''{Cut to Homestar and Strong Bad playing racquetball in the basement (with Strong Bad's rendition of the Dangeresque theme tune as an accompaniment). Homestar serves the ball and they play a frantic volley, which ends when Strong Bad nearly hits Homestar's head with the ball.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He removes his sunglasses.}'' What is your malfunction?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's get one thing straight, meatball...face...butt: I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo...which is all the time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah? Well, you need me because I'm the only one that knows where Perducci is, and where that is is that he is...in...Istanbul.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Istanbul! Of course!

''{Blackout fade to the Field, with a musical interlude from Strong Bad. Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are standing next to The Cheat, who is wearing a sign saying "Istanbul."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Perducci's got to be here around in Istanbul somewhere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I hope you're right. We've got to get that serum through...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's ask this passers-by.

''{Strong Sad walks by, holding a sandwich.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you know about Perducci, doughboy?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ugh, I told you guys already I'm not going to be in your stupid movie!

''{The frame "jumps." Same shot, but now Strong Bad is holding Strong Sad's sandwich.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —what do you know about Perducci?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reluctantly}'' Only that I am not one of his minions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, thanks anyways. Move it along, hot tub!

''{Strong Sad walks out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That stranger seemed to know a little bit too little about Perducci...

''{With another musical interlude, blackout fade to Strong Sad and the King of Town (who is silhouetted), on top of Bubs' Concession Stand. The King of Town is wearing a bowler hat.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' What? Two Dangeresques? ''{He turns to the camera, revealing that he is wearing a blue coat, sunglasses and a name-tag reading "Hello, my name is perducci."}'' Well, they'll still be no match for my secret weapon!

''{Cut to a silhouetted Strong Mad, whose gleaming white eyes are the only visible feature of his body. Strong Bad makes a scary tune over the top, then sings the first two notes of the Dangeresque theme song as we cut to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad standing on top of a large sheet of wood, with lines drawn on it to look like a tall building, holding a horizontal rope. The frame "jumps" again to the same shot, but rotated ninety degrees so that it looks as if the Dangeresques are climbing the building.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once we get to the top of this high-scraper, we'll hopefully be able to throw some people off. Maybe even Perducci.

''{They continue to "climb." As Homestar's glasses fall onto the wood we quickly cut to the top of the Concession Stand, where the Dangeresques meet the King of Town.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Dangeresque!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah? 
'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{simultaneously}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Allow me to introduce you to both my secret weapon and your doom: ''{King Of Town's hat flies up}'' Killingyouguy!

''{Strong Mad appears, raising his arms menacingly. The M on his singlet has been replaced with "KILLINGYOUGUY" and two post-its with a bullet hole and a scar drawn on have been stuck to his face. Strong Bad imitates a guitar screech over the top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Gad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy is tall.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & STRONG BAD:''' You take the big guy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The pipes are broken!

''{He leaps off. We cut to Homestar, suspended by a rope, whirling around and kicking Strong Sad repeatedly in the face. Strong Sad has a paper bag with Strong Mad's face, a bullet hole and a scar drawn on it on his head and is wearing his singlet.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{There is one exclamation for each hit.}'' Oof! Ow! Ouff! Ouwh! Getting! Dizzy! Blacking! Out! Oof! Geez! Oouf!

''{We then cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z (silhouetted) and Homestar (looking down on the fallen Strong Mad).}''

'''COACH Z:''' Nice work there, Dangeresque!

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks. ''{forced laugh}'' Ahahahahaha.

''{Marzipan, as Cutesy Buttons, approaches Coach Z, holding a glass of iced tea, with ice cubes and mint bobbing on the surface.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mmm. Thanks for the serum, boys. Now I won't be kidnapped.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & STRONG BAD:''' ...Looks like we're going to have to jump!

''{They both jump off the Concession Stand and end in a freeze frame, silhouetted against a sunset. The credits roll while Strong Bad sings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Today is all right for tonight... 
Riding in a Corvette, feeling all right, 
Today is all right for tonight! 
Today is all right for tonight... 
Riding in a Corvette, feeling all right, 
All right for tonight!

''{We cut to a montage of pictures; the pictures appear in the following order: Strong Bad preparing to eat Strong Sad's sandwich (with Strong Sad protesting in the background); The Cheat washing the Gremlin while Strong Bad holds the sandwich; and The Cheat painting Strong Mad black on top of the Concession Stand.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on Strong Bad's Dangeresque glasses at the end and you can [[Miscellaneous Downloads|download]] "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]", a song from the movie made by Strong Bad.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*At the end of [[stunt double]], Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective was said to be coming out in June 2004, which is when this e-mail came out. Also, it was supposed to be 'In 3D', which is why the sign says 'not in 3D' at the beginning of this one.

===Trivia===
*This email was originally titled "dangeresque3" (without the space) but was changed within hours to "dangeresque 3".
*If June 21st of 2004 was the 114th day of production, that would place Day 1 on March 9th, meaning Strong Bad didn't even start Dangeresque 3 until seven and a half months after [[stunt double]].
*Up until the release of [[portrait]], the file sbemail106.swf was the biggest email to date, coming in at 1265KB. The only other emails that have come in over 1MB are "[[japanese cartoon]]", at 1131KB; "[[date]]", at 1032KB; "[[haircut]]", at 1066KB, and "[[portrait]]", at 1355KB. The large size is mostly due to the 3 frames of TV static (167KB from those 3 frames alone), and the noisy still image (287KB) at the end.
*The [[Wikipedia:Nunchaku|nunchuck]] gun has no trigger.

===Remarks===
*If the credits are indeed correct, Strong Bad can play various musical instruments including guitar and drums.
*Considering Strong Mad's head and body are one, Homestar (as Dangeresque) would not be able to use his spinning, kicking move on Killingyouguy.
*Homestar is able to successfully act in a movie, despite his history of always getting his lines wrong when being filmed.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's Dangeresque glasses lack the temples over the ears in the car scene.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo. Which is all the time" is a line from "[[The theme from DANGERESQUE II: This time, it's not Dangeresque I]]", from [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Dangeresque's door reads (backwards) ''DANGERESQUE Private Eye/Crooked Cop'' which is also a throw to the [[Strong Bad Sings]] CD.
*The [[The VCR|VCR]] used for the car phone is from [[12:00]] and the [[Character Videos]] page.
*The newspaper is from [[stunt double]].
**To read the exact text of the newspaper, see trivia in [[stunt double]].
*"I'm gonna have to jump!" is a reference to the [[stunt double]], as is the whole e-mail.
*The name tag that The King of Town wears is from [[The Luau]].
*The car is the [[Gremlin]] from [[Homestarloween Party]].
*Strong Bad saying "That guy is tall" may be a reference to [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] where "Homestar" said, "All right, this guy is tall."
*The Cheat's "Istanbul" costume is a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]] where his "[[The Popular Vote|Popular Vote]]" costume looks almost the same.

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] is a sports car made by [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet|Chevrolet]].
*"What is your malfunction?" is a reference to Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam War movie ''[[imdb:tt0093058|Full Metal Jacket]]''.
*The scene of the two Dangeresques climbing up the "skyscraper" is a parody of [http://www.1966batfan.com/climb.htm The Bat Climb], a running gag from the old ''[[Batman]]'' TV series. Also, the final shot of the movie that says "The End?" is a reference to the 1966 ''[[imdb:tt0060153|Batman]]'' movie, which ends with a similar question.
*"The pipes are broken!" is Homestar trying to say "[[Wikipedia:Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku|Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku]]" a move from ''[[Street Fighter|Street Fighter II]]'' usually called the Hurricane Kick in U.S. versions of the game. The name is changed because the characters' voices in ''Street Fighter II'' are hard to understand (due to low-quality recordings), and sound like they are saying something else. He says this because the kick is the same as Ryu's and Ken's hurricane kick in the games/movies.
*Homestar's "shades" are Venetian blinds-style, and may have been inspired by the movie ''[[imdb:tt0094072|Summer School]]''.
*[http://www.hersheys.com/sundaebest/milkshakes.html#Peanut%20Butter%20Cup "Reesy Cup Milkshake"] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Reese's Peanut Butter Cup|Reese's Peanut Butter Cups]] candy, which is often served in milkshakes.
* Doughboy may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pillsbury Doughboy|Poppin' Fresh]], [http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_poppinfresh.htm The Pillsbury Doughboy].
*The line, "Here comes little email with a gun in his hand," is an exact mimic of the line "Here comes little THORAX with a gun in his hand," found on [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/intern.html Thoraxcorp.com's intern page]. This line could also be reference to the song "Little Man With a Gun in His Hand" by The Minutemen, one of Matt Chapman's favorite bands.
*The hubcap coming off the Gremlin is a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:Bullitt#Car chase|Bullitt]], which was one of the first movies to have a "renegade cop" as its main character, and had one of the earliest and influential car chase sequences in movie history. The car that Bullitt was chasing lost multiple hubcaps during the chase.
*[[Wikipedia:Istanbul|Istanbul]] is the largest city in [[Wikipedia:Turkey|Turkey]].


===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's "Hurricane Kick" becomes one of [[1-Up]]'s attacks in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
*A movie poster for Dangeresque 3 can be seen in the movie theatre lobby in [[the movies]]. It is worth noting that it has no fixed release date.
*The Cheat's black paint is very similar to the yellow [[paint]] in [[Cool Things]].

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Appropriately, this is our third try at the dangeresque 3 commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, last time, Ryan came in. 'Cos the phone... Matt got a phone call.

'''MATT:''' But, see, and then Mike had the idea to keep doing the commentary while I was on the phone, and then I ruined it by stopping the recording.

'''MIKE:''' It would have been a good one.

'''MATT:''' It would've.

'''MIKE:''' Pretend you're on the phone.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{in a high voice}'' Oh! Hello! This is.. the phone!

'''MIKE:''' All right, so this was, uh, yee, about the time we said... Strong Bad said that, uh, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective would come out.

'''MATT:''' June, of twenty-oh-..

'''MIKE:''' June of 2004. We sorta considered actually doing it, but, of course, you know, it was supposed to be in 3-D, and we knew we weren't gonna...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' See, this was our way of addressing it without really addressing it.

'''MATT:''' But, yeah. But, see, it's funny 'cuz people sort of, some people I remember...

'''MIKE:''' ...Still think that Dangeresque 3 is coming out.

'''MATT:''' Right. And they complained that, and it's just, but, you don't... you... you basically are getting Dangeresque 3. Here's something you've never seen, and people are, aw, they just put that old "Dangeresque 1" up there. Uh, so Strong—

'''MIKE:''' Oh! You can see The Cheat in this scene! Look! You can see him running behind the car.

'''MATT:''' Oh, really? Oh really?!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that was... did you frame that up?

'''MATT:''' ''(annoyed tone)'' Yeah! When we shot this, there with live cartoon characters in the backyard!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, yeah, I mean, I gotta watch that stuff closer, because, I'm sure some other people may have noticed that.

'''MATT:''' ''{of Coach Z's first scene}'' Uh, I remember this being a problem a lot when we made movies as kids, with, uh, people, like, at the end of a take would immediately look at the camera and be like, "Was that okay? Did I do that right?" Whatever. Sort of like when we were doing the Peasant's Quest thing, my wife Jackie had a problem; she was never very confident with her performance.

'''MIKE:''' Sometimes she would start looking at the camera making a sour face before she was done with the line.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, she was not impressed with some of her performances.

''{pause until the Reesy Cup milkshake}''

'''MATT:''' Oooh. Let's go get those.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm. Sonic?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sonic Burger?

'''MATT:''' I think we comment about Sonic Burger on the last DVD set. And how they're far away from us.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I know. I wish... we talk about it a lot for a place I've only eaten at, probably, three times in my life.

''{pause until the racquetball scene}''

'''MIKE:''' Racquetball.

'''MATT:''' The racquetball scene.

'''MIKE:''' There's good racquetball in, uh, ''Cape Fear'', right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think there's a very nice racquetball scene. And, uh, ''Splash''!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' John Candy is... he doesn't like playing. He gets really tired.

'''MIKE:''' We should start playing racquetball.

'''MATT:''' And start watching Splash!

''(Mike laughs)''

'''MATT:''' Right now! Take this out of the DVD player and put Splash in.

'''MIKE:''' I'll do it.

''{pause until they reach "Istanbul"}''

'''MIKE:''' So Strong Bad, er, rather, that's The Cheat there, Mike. The Cheat reprises his role as The Popular Vote from the Christmas episode as "Istanbul." We just had to modify his costume.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' This reminds me of, uh, my... our cousin Rafiel that lived with us for a while, and I remember him being the one that I would try... I would just force to be in movies.

'''MIKE:''' ''(underneath Matt's talking)'' He never wanted to.

'''MATT:''' To the point of just, like, walking up to him with the camera and being like, "All right, here's the scene!" And he'd be like "No! Go away!"

''{pause until Perducci's silhouette}''

'''MATT:''' Who do you think that is, Mike? That black silhouette.

'''MIKE:''' That's the King, it's the King of Town.

'''MATT:''' I can't, who do you think that guy is...

'''MIKE:''' It's the King of Town...

'''MATT:''' In the derby hat...

'''MIKE:''' We just, we just showed him.

'''MATT:''' Who do you think THAT guy is?

'''MIKE:''' That's Strong Mad.

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' We made this cartoon. You should know.

'''MATT:''' This is a ref— a double reference to, obviously, the old Batman TV show where they would do this cheap special effect to be climbing up a wall, and then my friend Neil and I's attempt to do it in an episode of "Captain Idiot," I believe it was in.

'''MIKE:''' Not Agent Neil?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and I think the first couple times we did it, we had the camera turned the wrong way, so we're climbing ''down'' the building.

'''MIKE:''' Ha ha! You guys are smart.

'''MATT:''' Man, Killingyouguy has a giant bullet hole in his face.

'''MIKE:''' He's a tough man.

'''MATT:''' ''(excited)'' Oh! That's like a buddy... cop...

'''MATT:''' That, of course, what we... it sounds like Ken says in Street Fighter when he does the Hurricane Kick, or whatever it's called. "The pipes are broken."

'''MIKE:''' This whole thing is taking place on the only appearance of the ''top'' of Bubs' Concession Stand.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That a mint julep or just an iced tea...

'''MIKE:''' I think it's an iced tea with mint in it.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, mint juleps are white...

'''MIKE:''' I think Hopkins, Hopkins has some great...

'''MATT:''' Ooh, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ...mint iced tea.

''{Over the credits, Matt imitates the guitar in the music}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh... Hot Tub.... Hot Tub tea.

'''MATT:''' Uh, what else, Mike? This is of course the...

'''MIKE:''' ''(interrupts)'' I kinda just want to listen to the song and watch this.

'''MATT:''' This is the end of the mon... the photo montage he speaks of in the montage email.

'''MIKE:''' That's true!

'''MATT:''' It's happening just now. ''{laughs}'' Didn't just backlight Strong Mad, they actually painted him black.

'''MIKE:''' Ah, the continue, er, the end.

'''MATT:''' Uh-oh.
