'''Page Title:''' Bewaouw! Take Caouw! Bewaouw!

==Transcript==
''{Open in the field. Homestar and Pom Pom are standing in front of an inflatable pumpkin, which is plugged into a tiny segment of wall sticking out of the ground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man Pom Pom, this Halloween is gonna be the Christmas ball! Hot tricks, cool treats, good friends, and MURDER!

''{Every time Homestar says "murder", the title screen for the toon pops up to a musical sting. It shows a silhouette of Pom Pom sliced in two, with the caption "I KILLED POM POM!"}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? Murder? Nah, that doesn't sound like something I would say. I was probably talking about the crisp cool air, the fallen leaves dappling the MURDER!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{As Homestar speaks, with his eyes closed, Pom Pom bounces away. He knocks aside the pumpkin's power cord and pulls it out of the socket as he does so, and it slowly deflates.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, man, you're hearing things, I was just talking about MURDER. And, you know, like this time of year sometimes there's a little bit of MURDER, and maybe a little bit of MURDER. But I would never say anything about— ''{opens his eyes and sees the now-completely-deflated pumpkin}'' WAH! Murder! Pom Pom! What happened? Did you get popped? Say a few bubbles! You can't be dead! You're my best friend and concubine! ''{crying}'' Oh, I should really look up what that word me-he-he-he-heeeans!

''{Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who-ho-hoa! What manner of stitch witchery have I stumbled upon this Hallows-eve?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Bad, I think my evil jealous side secretly killed Pom Pom without even telling my dopey lovable side!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, settle down, Homestar. Unckie Strong Bad'll getcha through this. Now, tell me exactly what happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it all started 117 days ago...

''{To a musical sting, the screen cuts to one similar to the title card and reads "4 hours later..." Cut back to The Field at night, with Strong Bad and Homestar in costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and then I turned back around, and there was a puddle of Pom Pom at my feet!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And no one else saw anything?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No one! Well, there was that inflatable pumpkin, but I think he said something about having a previous engagement. Man, I like that pumpkin. I should really get his phone number.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it definitely sounds like you killed Pom Pom. First thing you need to do is dispose of the body. ''{Pulls a partially-transparent card out of his jacket}'' Here, go to Bubs's and get everything on this laminated murder cover-up check list. Plus a twelver of Cold Ones and a dozen Maple Bismarcks. For the cover up. Than meet me back at my basement.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Strong Bad, you're a real cartoon pal!

''{Takes the card and runs off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho, oh, this is gonna be a real good night.

''{Strong Bad walks off scatting the rhythm to the song "Mack The Knife". Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where Bubs and Coach Z are having a discussion.}''

'''BUBS:''' Heh heh, I'd like to see those teenagers try and egg the concession stand this year, now that I own an ostrich farm! ''{places a large egg on the counter}''

'''COACH Z:''' Boy, I'll say! And these piña colordas are torp nortch! ''{Coach Z produces a similarly large egg that has been cracked with its top missing, and an umbrella, straw, and cherry sticking out of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey there say there, Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' Happy Halloween, Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah! And I'm standing here!

''{beat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just the essentials tonight, just the essentials. Lemme get a, uh, 50 gallon drum of bleach...

'''BUBS:''' ''{produces a storage drum}'' Check.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and a 50 gallon drum of saw blades...

'''BUBS:''' ''{produces another}'' Sounds good.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and a 50 gallon drum of body bags.

'''BUBS:''' ''{produces a third drum}'' Reasonable.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in his mind}'' Boy, Homestar, you've got this. These guys don't suspect a thing! Just order these last few everyday items and we're in the clear! ''{aloud, sweating, and growing more nervous by the second}'' Um... I need a... twelve pack of cold ones, and um... a dozen maple Bismarcks I DON'T KNOW WHAT BISMARCKS ARE I KILLED POM POM!

'''BUBS:''' Simmer down Homestar, it's all right! We've all made, quote unquote, mistakes.

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, who hasn't slipped up and engaged in a little, quote unquote, pre-meditated murder in cold blood? Am I right?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So what do I do now?

'''BUBS:''' You need to establish an alibi!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, with witnesses! And if ya's can swing it, wetnesses!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, I can do that, I can do that, I can do that, I can do that, I can do that—

'''BUBS:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep, sorry, got it, peow!

'''BUBS:''' Good kid, that Homestar... should we light 'em up?

'''COACH Z:''' Absalortly!

''{Coach Z and Bubs launch their eggs. Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith and the King Of Town are standing out front.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{as though a whiny teenager}'' Gah, I keep telling you Poopsmith, I didn't do it, stop acting like my dad!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking into a "burner phone", which is really just a piece of cardboard with a keypad and a square with "BURNER" drawn on it}'' What? Yeah, I've been here all the live-long day. At the KOT's castle, or as I like to call it, alibi city. Who? Pom Pom? Never heard of him! Sounds like someone who's still alive, though. Okay corroborating witness, bye! Click!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Ahem!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Hey Can Of Town, Tootsmith, you guys hear that legitimate conversation I was just having? ''So'' legitimate.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' So you've been here at the castle all day?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep! Right here! Innocent as charged!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Ah-ha! I told you I didn't eat your pile of whatsit! It was him!

''{Zoom out to show Homestar standing in what is left of the whatsit pile. The Poopsmith's shovel is behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap... literal crap...

''{The Poopsmith turns the dial on his helmet to "4" and raises his claw-hand menacingly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! Objection! Leading the witness! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom are sitting around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and he totally thinks the inflatable pumpkin is you, Pom Pom!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He also tried to get its phone number, which is more than a little weird.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Unckie Strong Bad, I need more help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom, quick, hide!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{Pom Pom ducks behind the couch as Homestar walks in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Things have gone downhill! Not only did I murder Pom Pom, but now it's on record that I ate fifteen hundred pounds of crap.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{laughs}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho, stifle a laugh. Well, you know what you gotta do now, don't you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I will literally do whatever comes out of that sweet rectangular mouth next.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, in that case, you gotta... get us sixteen dozen maple bismarcks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Done!

''{Cut to the basement filled with pastries.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' These are kolaches, I said bismarks!

''{Cut to the basement filled with different pastries.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eating}'' Now that's more like it! Now you gotta find a patsy and pin that murder on him like a corsage on a puffy-dressed prom date!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean like with a lot of blood and them going, "Ow, ow, Homestar, ow, quit it, I'm not going to prom with you anymore! And I hate Bennigan's!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, something like that. Now go stash Pom Pom's body at their house!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But who I'm supposed to pin this murder on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The most unsuspecting saps you can find...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Strong Sad is sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{hisses}''

''{Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey Strong Sad, there's a bad horror movie on. Wanna make snappy comments and obscure references while we watch it?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know I can't see, I just drew these eyes on my hands.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Why don't you just take your hands down?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{nervously}'' Uh, because I may have also sorta super-glued my eyes shut...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG SAD:''' For authenticity! ''{He moves his hands aside. His eyes are not visible at all.}'' I was trying to be a cosplay-donnaire!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's a word you just made up!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{entering}'' Ah-ha! I knew you two were up to something!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ahh, cosplay-dang!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, I admit it! My homeade kombucha is just apple cider vinegar with Strong Sad's... phlugus floating in it.

'''STRONG SAD:''' My secret shame slash finest hour!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't play games with me, you murdered Pom Pom! ''{Cut back to reveal that the pumpkin is stuffed in Marzipan's couch cushions.}'' You stuffed his body right here under the couch all day probably, ''{taps the pumpkin with a baton}'' since you murdered him.

'''MARZIPAN:''' This again?

''{A loud sound suddenly emanates.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I hear a yonder ruckus!

''{Cut to the field, The King Of Town, The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Coach Z come in.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Gah, what's all this noise? It's so lame!

'''COACH Z:''' What's the what's the scenario?

''{Pom Pom appears behind a bush.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Look! A specter rises!

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat throw Pom Pom into the air}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, Homestar! It's Pom Pom's ghost come back to haunt you! Don't you want to, you know, pee your pants, or do something else embarrassing while all these people are here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way Unkie- ''{runs into the bottom point of Strong Bad's costume}'' Ow! Sharp... No way Unkie Strong Bad, you guys have shown me the light! It's time to fight murder with murder! ''{Homestar breaks the point off of Strong Bad's chin}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, wait!

''{Homestar jumps up and throws the point at Pom Pom. Pom Pom explodes in a blinding flash of light and whatever was left of him floats to the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, that wasn't a ghost! That was actually him! You just... you... you...

'''ALL:''' You killed Pom Pom!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhh, duh!

''{The "I Killed Pom Pom" title card comes up again, which changes into card reading Next Season}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{narrating over the title card.}'' Next season on Homestar Runner dot com...

''{Cut to the field, Homestar, dressed in his normal attire, is standing next to the inflatable pumpkin.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang inflatable pumpkin, you're a way better best friend than floaty old Pom Pom ever was.

''{The pumpkin suddenly deflates. Pom Pom appears from behind it, having been crudely reassembled. He is brandishing the same piece of Strong Bad's costume that popped him and has an angry expression.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahh!

''{Cut to a title card, which shows Homestar cut in two, reading "I Killed Homestar!" This fades into the cast standing in the field.}''

===Trivia===

===Remarks===
*Homestar's line "It all started 117 days ago" is referring to the interview in which the Matt Chapman alluded to a return to creating more cartoons. 117 days previous from Halloween was July 5, 2014, which is presumably the day that Matt and Jeff Rubin conducted the interview that was released on July 7th.
*Marzipan was dressed as Anton Chigurh from ''[[Wikipedia:No Country for Old Men (film)|No Country for Old Men]]'' in the [[Halloween Safety]] teaser. This was confirmed with the [[Sketchbook 2014#SK-2014-10-30|Sketchbook]] and [[Quote of the Week#QW-2014-10-30|Quote of the Week]] released the same day as the toon. This is the first time a character other than Strong Bad has worn a Halloween costume that didn't match their silhouette in the teaser.
*This is the third cartoon in a row that does not contain a back button.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad speculated the results of Pom Pom's [[death]] in [[pom pom]], regarding how Pom Pom would die if he was popped and on fire at the time of his death.
**Even earlier, Strong Bad also pretended that Homestar killed Pom Pom during [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The King of Town's alleged consumption of whatsit was previously referenced in [[fan club]], where he consumed the pile.
*Strong Bad asks Homestar if the sight of Pom Pom's ghost makes him want to [[Peeing|pee]] his [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]].

*Homsar's Easter egg refers to [[Wikipedia: Lōc-ed_After_Dark |''Lōc-ed After Dark'']], 1989 album by Tone Loc.
*Strong Bad and Bubs' dialogue in Bubs' Easter egg consists of lyrics from "[[Wikipedia: Sabotage (song)|Sabotage]]", a song by the [[Wikipedia: Beastie Boys|Beastie Boys]].
**Bubs' costume is a reference to the music video for the same song.
*[[Wikipedia: Aquafresh|Aquafresh]] is a brand of toothpaste manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. The toothpaste itself has three colored stripes in it, one white, one red, and one aqua.
*"[[Wikipedia: Mack the Knife|Mack the Knife]]" is the current name for a song that was written in 1928 by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht for their musical ''[[Wikipedia: The Threepenny Opera|The Threepenny Opera]]''. The song later became a pop standard and was recorded by many singers, with the most successful version recorded by [[Wikipedia: Bobby Darin|Bobby Darin]]. [[Wikipedia: McDonald's|McDonald's]] later used a rewritten version of the song for its "Mac Tonight" advertising campaign, hence Strong Bad's costume.
*[[Wikipedia: Jay Leno| Jay Leno]] is an American comedian, actor, writer, producer, and television host famous for his large, pointy ''chin''.
*[[Wikipedia: Dom DeLuise|Dom DeLuise]] was an American comedian and actor. Homestar's remark to Pom Pom calls reference to DeLuise's usual wearing of a white hat similar to the one Pom Pom is wearing.

*[[Wikipedia:Kolach|Kolach]]e and Bismarcks are popular baked goods in Europe. A kolache is a pasty consisting of a fruit filling surrounded by pastry while a Bismarck, or [[Wikipedia: Berliner (doughnut)|Berliner]] as it is correctly known, is a treat similar to a doughnut.

Aaronak: /* Commish again */ found the phrase "Signed, the Commish" in a PC game.

I guess living in Hawaii means I'm the only one awake. :-P Anyway, I don't really know the procedures and protocols for the transcripting and the placenaming and characterlisting, so I'll stay out of that. And I don't have a forum account, so I won't post a thread there, I guess. But I started this off. [[User:Grumblebaker|Grumblebaker]] 03:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:That's good to know. But it doesn't need to go here, sorry. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Rapid blinking ==

Right after Homestar says Strong Bad "has to be quicker next time" he begins blinking at a very excessive rate. What do you think? a goof? a remark? What say you? --Domestibot
:You're right. Has anyone else noticed this? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah. I think it should go in "remarks". [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 21:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Carti-what Bode-what ==

well, trying to figure out the devil the couplets are called, and wondering: bodélé depression is a place in the sahara desert (depression?) and cartier is a what? (although there is a ''alain chartier'' who was a french poet) thoughts or alternatives? --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 06:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:The name Bodélé doesn't seem to exist outside of that obscure Sahara Desert reference. By contrast, Bodelet, like Cartier, is a common French surname, and is a more likely spelling. -Lydia
::I was thinking perhaps it was Homestar's pronunciation of [[Wikipedia:Charles_Baudelaire|Baudelaire]]? Perhaps a portmanteau with a Cartier Somebody whom I don't know about? (On a related note, "beige malaise" yields a surprising number of [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22beige+malaise%22 hits] predating this toon.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 13:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Potato who? ==
What does one-potato-two-potato mean? I mean, ''does'' it mean something or did they just make it up? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:It's a kind of [[Wikipedia:Counting-out game|counting-out game]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Coincidence? ==

I think that the Sideways Stories From Wayside School reference is just a coincidence. I don't think they were referencing that at the time, I think it was just something odd homestar did.
:You're right. I can't see any link between this toon and that (obscure?) childrens' book. Strong Bad did not lose because of his poor kicking ability. Strong Bad lost because Strong Sad caught the ball. There is no connection, apart from the fact that kickball features in both media. '''Stretch.''' {{User:The Chort/sig}} 12:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::There is a slight connection in that Ron's team consisted of only himself and Louis, versus a much larger team, but I agree that it's a stretch anyways. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Commish again ==

Is it worth noting that SB's rule change signature of "The Commish" is probably a reference to the TV show of the same name?
It's been referenced before as one of the tapes in the VCR on the [[Character Videos]] page. [[Special:Contributions/71.254.118.93|71.254.118.93]] 02:28, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think its a reference to that. For all we know, it could be a reference to those "Commish" Bud-Light commercials. But I think the gag is just a reference to professional sport commissioners as a whole. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 15:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

:Don't know what the exact relevance of this is, but the phrase "Signed, the commish" appears in the video game ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Longest_Journey The Longest Journey]''.

== Isle of Pom? ==

Do you think the island that Tim-Tom was on could've been the Isle of Poms? Just a thought...
:Actually, that's not an unlikely possiblity. Note that Tim Tom seems to live near a beach, whereas The Isle of Poms, for no logical reason whatsoever, resembles a medicine capsule. Perhaps the beach is part of the Isle of Poms and TBC have decided to abandon the idea of a capsule for a proper island. It's a bit speculative at the moment though, so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions and start changing the articles until TBC release another toon set on the Isle of Poms. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== Unfair Pick ==
So I've been thinking about this for a few days and finally reached the following Conclusion: Strong Sad was on Strong Bad's Team even though Homestar called him. Allow me to explain, because this obviously contradicts the toon. First, Homestar picks Pom-Pom. Strong Bad makes a pick AND THEN Homestar picks Pom-Pom again, which also counts as a valid pick. Cut to Strong Sad, Homestar yells out Pom-Pom first and then another thing, making that his valid picks and nullifying his double-side-whisper-draft because it would have to be a triple-side-whisper-draft to account for the third pick (which I cannot remember), instead of Strong Sad. He also allows Strong Bad to pick Strong Sad as a team-mate without calling the whisper draft (perfectly legal according to the "rule" book) and telling him he can't in much the same way he did with Pom-Pom. By not calling Strong Sad then, he nulled his own cheating by allowing Strong Bad to pick. So there it is, let the "your wrong"s abound! [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 13:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
:Au the contrary. Strong Bad never technically called Strong Sad either, merely telling him to play 8th base. He was given the opportunity, but never took advantage of it. So Strong Sad is either on Homestar's team, or on no team at all. -[[Special:Contributions/76.119.99.198|76.119.99.198]] 14:36, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
::Didn't Homestar just say "Bullpen!" which would probably be like saying to get over to the "bullpen" which would refer to Homestar's team, which would mean the second thing he exclaimed wasn't a pick?--[[User:Topmonhit|Topmonhit]] 18:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Yep. [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 18:03, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Ultimately, this is a case of Strong Bad being hoisted by his own petard, so to speak. He has a tendency to make "convenient rule changes" in order to allow him to do things normally not allowed by the rules of the game, but this is one of the few times it's worked against him. --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 15:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

==They can't fill all the positions, can they?==

Wow. Can't believe I'm actually doing this. Er, uh, when The Cheat "kicks" the ball, Homestar's feet are behind home plate; when he lands near the base, Homestar's feet appear again on the field near the base. Would this count as [[Duplicate Characters]] or no since the feet don't appear at the exact same time (which actually would be like in Homestar Ruiner anyway so...) And while I'm asking stuff, it's mentioned in the transcript while Homestar is repeating what the Announcer said that The Cheat was on the base behind him, but it doesn't mention Strong Sad could be seen in the background during the Announcer's scene. Just wondering if there's a reason for that.--[[User:Topmonhit|Topmonhit]] 18:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

== And Strong Sad ==

If you slow down what homestar said, does it really say "and strong sad"? {{User:The thing/sig}} 19:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

== And I have no idea who I'm commenting to! ==

This is really more of a side note, but it's one that has kinda been bugging me for a while. Does anyone else think that the Announcers comment that he doesn't know who he's broadcasting to be included as an inside reference to just how severely underpopulated Free Country, USA apparently is? I'm not sure myself if it should be noted, or if it's enough to just mention it here in the discussion.--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 17:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
:Hmm... I never thought of it like that, but since all main characters but one were playing in the match, I suppose it probably is a reference to that. You can add it if you like. [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 18:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

== KOT Can't Jump ==

The part where the king of town strikes out may be a reference to [[Super Kingio Bros]]. Or it's just keeping consistency...

== Little Stevie ==
Could this be a reference to Stevie Wonder? He first became popular when he was a kid, going by the name "Little Stevie Wonder". [[User:TreeWithAChainsaw|TreeWithAChainsaw]] 22:08, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

== "Good game" ==

I think the bit at the end when the characters walk past each other repeating the phrase "good game" in a slightly melancholy fashion is a reference to the Richard Linklater film "Dazed and Confused", in which a similar scene takes place. This being a movie reference would explain the sudden change in mood in all characters. If this has already been mentioned and dismissed, then I apologise. It does sound very much like the sort of thing TBC would reference though, and it made me smile.
: Um, no, it's a reference to the fact that, after most sporting events, the teams traditionally meet each other face-to-face and say "good game" or the like to each other. It happens in the real world. Also notice that ''nobody'' on Strong Bad's team actually says "good game". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

== Nineteen-eighty-why ==

It appears we have a dispute about when the Umpire says Mookie whoever gave his aunt the kickball [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Kick-A-Ball&curid=47441&diff=643862&oldid=643230&rcid=602940 here]. I'll grant that the final "n" is a bit unclear, but the initial "n" in "nine" is quite clear, meaning it can't be "1980i". Furthermore, the explanation of what "1980i" means strikes me as a real stretch <s>and is inconsistent with the antecedent to this joke in [[Strongest Man in the World]], where it's just a simple year (in that case, 1974).</s> Therefore, I think it's quite clear The Umpire is just saying "nineteen-eighty-nine". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
: Um, while I agree with the fact that it's 1989 and that 1980i is a ''severe'' stretch, the Umpire doesn't say it. Homestar does. The Umpire says 1984 in the Easter egg. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:00, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1pVidZtnPE This] is the first Pixar short, Luxo Jr. It's very famous in the animation industries. What's also interesting is that the ball, with a single stripe and a star, is known to appear in [[Wikipedia:List of Pixar film references#Luxo Ball|other Pixar movies]]. Could the kickball be a reference to the Luxo ball? The colors are different, but how common is a ball with a single stripe and a star? What do you think? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

"PomPom" or ""StrongBadEmail/pom pom", right? So they are going to have to be changed either way...

:::::I really think we should keep "Pom Pom (character)" and "pom pom (email)" because it will help people understand what they're looking at.

I've pointed out before this page is unnecessary. [[Pom Pom (character)]] should be moved here, and [[pom pom]] should be the e-mail, and they can each have disambiguation notices at the top, like: ''You might be looking for the [[Strong Bad Email]] named [[pom pom]].'' It's good enough for Wikipedia and I think it's still good enough for us. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 12:35, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)

In any case, we need to standardise this. Marzipan and Homsar's pages both have "(character)" and "(email)", whereas Pom Pom is just governed by case. Either way is fine, but it seems awkward to use both. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Homestar is quoting Snoop's song Gin & Juice when he's saying 'every single day' with that tone in the character video. [[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]] 11:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

== Pom Pom noises? ==

Pom Pom's bubbling sound is never called "Pom Pom noises", while The Cheat's noises are called "The Cheat noises". --[[Special:Contributions/98.162.148.46|98.162.148.46]] 21:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC) (I am a number?)
:Because Pom Pom's are identifiable as bubbles, whereas The Cheat's are a variety of high-pitched squeaks, growls, yelps, and mutters. There is a single word for Pom Pom's noises, but not for The Cheat's. At least, I'm guessing that was the reasoning used by whoever first transcribed them as such. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== Kongfu? ==
I think we have the right to know where Pom Pom learned his kong fu skills. Why shouldn't we know? [[User:Fingerface|Fingerface]] 21:36, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Pager number ==

Ok, seriously.
http://web.archive.org/web/20010207213147/www.homestarrunner.com/autographs.html
look at that. it's so obviously 718 655 1059. but when i change it, it gets reverted. just go look at it!theres no doubt that is a 6.

It looks more like a 6 than any of those 5's, and it looks more like a 5 than the 6 in the home number. i'm not sure which one it is. given it's being compared next to a bunch of 5's, i'll go with 6. my question is, the first number of the cell's area code looks more like the 3 home number's area code than the 1 in the home number's area code, or the 1 in the pager's area code. 323 is the area code for Hollywood, California; do y'all think tbc (1) knew that (2) would intend such a thing for pom pom if they did know it? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 02:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:I still think it's a 5 and a 1, respectively. It's simulating handwriting, so it's supposed to differ subtly between numbers, but I think the intent is clear. -[[Special:Contributions/140.247.10.171|140.247.10.171]] 02:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::if you zoom in, you can see clearly that the upper and lower portions of what would be a 5 are clearly connected with an extra line. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::i think a Hollywood cell phone number would fit pom pom's character, and i think that does look more like a 3 than a 1. and (reality about 555 #'s aside) if i had two phone numbers, one's prefix was 555 and one's was 655, i would probably get them confused. it looks to me like pom pom wrote 555 and tried to correct it to 655. ok i'm sticking with 6. and the second one's first number doesn't look like a 1 at all imo. it doesn't look much like a 3 either, but it looks more like a 3 than anything else. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::::I think it makes sense that his home number and cell would have the same area code, whereas the pager could be a wild card. Here's a close up of the Cell area code.
::::http://images.roosterteeth.com/images/ravenkliff4a4cf66bb3acc.jpg
::::personally, i think it's a one. It Really depends on how you look at it. if you expect a one, you see a one. Same goes for three. [[User:MechaKingBubsGonzola]]
:::::[[File:Pom Pom Yearbook Numbers.png]]
:::::Here's a properly zoomed-in version of the numbers. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::Having looked at the zoomed in version, my opinions of the other two, that they're a 5 and a 1, haven't changed, but now I'm wondering about the 7 in 718. It doesn't seem as distinctive from the 1's as the other sevens in the image. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 19:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::To make why I think it's a five more explicit, I think it's easier to imagine a scrawled five having the two bits of the arc accidentally touch than to have a six somehow having the top part be as straight vertical and angular as a five. I think it would be rare for a persons normal manner of writing six to produce that shape even if done hastily/messily. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 20:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::I see what you're saying, but that doesn't look like they're accidentally touching. if it looked like a full circle at the bottom of a capital gamma, that would make more sense. this looks like the loop part of the 5 starts in about the right place for a 5, and then later on he put in another line in attempt to change it to a 6. i do think the first thing Pom Pom wrote there was a 5. i mean, if you were to write a 5 and then try to change it to a 6, how would you do it if you didn't want to cross out anything? like i said earlier, pom pom probably just got his prefixes confused. as for the 3/1, on the pixellated zoom, it looks like a 1, and on the ordinary zoom, the right side looks like the right side of a 3, which has to be what i was looking at earlier, and the bottom looks like it could have been trying to wrap around to the left side, about like the top of that 7. i don't trust pixellated zooms, so i'm not convinced that it's a 1. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::My 4 cents:
:::::::At first glance, it looks like a six, but not in very good handwriting. Or maybe it looks like a five at first glance. I am not sure. All his other fives are clearer, so his handwriting does not completely suck. But back to the five/six in question. You both have good points, The Knights Who Say Ni (cool name) and 132.183.140.130, so it could really be anything, unless you <s>dive deep into your soul</s> look VERY closely, and apply common sense, problem solving, and finding out the answer. Actually, it looks like an upside-down lowercase [[G]], but that's probably not right. But back to the five/six. For those of you not asleep, there seems to be a little curve on the bottom tips of all the other fives, suggesting he draws them from up to down, like average. 5. He COULD have gotten carried away with the bottom tip, but this is unlikely. I do not really think it is likely to have a scrawled five having the two bits of the arc accidentally touch, but than again, there aren't much other options. On the issue of Pom Pom mixing up the 555 and the 655 and trying to correct it, let's remember one thing: POM POM ISN'T REAL. I doubt TBC would have included a detail as small as that on a page that probably wasn't close to being the most popular in the site, would they? No really, would they? I do not think they would. So, maybe it IS likely that the five's two bits of the arc accidentally touch. And I'm not sure I mentioned this, but no, the parts of a six would not touch like that, it is very unlikely, probably. Just my opinion. I'll get to the issue of the 3 and the one after this. Very sincerely, {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 13:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::I have a great idea. Instead of coming to a consensus, how about we just put that picture in as a substitute for the written out phone numbers? that way anyone can come to their own conclusion as to what the numbers actually are. Tcmf (if i may call you that), when tbc came up with that, i don't think they intended for there to be this much discussion on such a trivial subject matter, so this seems like an easy solution to a relatively trivial debate. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::Um, Great idea! How exactly to do this... {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 21:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Except that a bunch of the fun facts following it talk about the numbers... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Oh yeah, you have a point, DeFender. it is just one fun fact, but i think it is too integral to remove, and if we were to edit it accordingly, it would look too sloppy. on a different note, i did some research, and it looks like (718)655- is a legitimate combination in The Bronx. seeing as though the other two are definitely impossible combinations for personal numbers (regardless of 123 or 323), i'm now guessing that was also the intent of the third. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:49, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::It's a 5. The zoomed-in image looks very much like the results I get when I convert a bitmap into a vector shape. Here's how it was probably created: The entire page was drawn by hand by one of The Brothers Chaps (except for Marzipan's part, which Missy probably did, and of course Strong Sad's part). They then '''scanned the page and used an automatic tracing utility to make the vector shapes'''. As small as the finished product is intended to be displayed, and given that it's supposed to look messy, it wasn't important to spend a lot of time refining the shapes. This explains why the bottom of the 5 is connected. On shapes as small as this, fine detail is lost and curves that are supposed to be open often close up. Looking at the shape, it has a horizontal and vertical part that are more or less straight like a 5, not curved like a 6. At the bottom of the shape, the curved portion extends a little to the left of the vertical line. On top of the visual analysis, the practical analysis cannot be ignored: 555 is the universal "fake" prefix. 655 is not. I really don't see TBC putting a working phone number in their work, especially when the simplest explanation is that they didn't. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::hey dot com. "Looking at the shape-->" on, thank you for explaining my point of the last thing i said exactly. as for the rest of it, i would love to see what you are talking about. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

== Pom Pom's Body ==

Am I the only one who thinks that Pom Pom's 'Body' is really just a suit? His Clothes? A Giant pocket? That would explain the models and his infinate space in his body. Any supporters? Decliners? -Espemon333
:Probably. But in any case, without info one way or the other, it's pure speculation. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
::You're right. Interesting idea though. DeFender, can you give me some peace of mind and visit my [[User:Espemon333#My Heartfelt Apology|userpage]]? -Espemon333

== Pom Pom: Boy or Girl ==

This is a stumper. In the Yearbook Character Page, it says, "Sup! Wish we coulda
got to know each
other better this year.
--->You're super-cute!!<---
Gimme a call this
summer.
- Pom Pom"

Either Pom Pom was talking to Homestar(making Pom Pom a girl) or Marzipan(making Pom Pom a boy). [[User:TheHumstarRonner|TheHumstarRonner]] 12:37, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

:Pom Pom is referred to using masculine pronouns... everywhere—including the yearbook page about him. The autograph page is not talking to Homestar Runner or Marzipan specifically. (They both sign it themselves.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:03, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

== Science! Science again! ==

I was thinking about including some of this in the main page, but I wanted to put it here first. This is a detailed analysis, so any part of this or a summary could be included.

Given a height of 6 feet, 2 inches for Pom Pom, and assuming he is spherical and filled with gas, he would hold approximately 3476.9 liters (918.5 US gallons, 122.8 cubic feet) of gas. Given his weight of 4 pounds, he has a density of at most about 0.52 kilograms per cubic meter (0.033 pounds per cubic foot), depending on how much of his mass is his head, limbs, and body, and how much is the air inside. He would float in water, and is less dense than air.

If Pom Pom is filled with air at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius, 68 degrees Fahrenheit), then he has an internal pressure of about 3000 Pascals (0.030 atmospheres, 0.88 inches of mercury) or less if his head, limbs and body are heavier. His body must be made of some durable material, or else he would implode under normal conditions. Even if he is not filled with air, he is probably filled with something either naturally lightweight, depressurized, or cold.

Strong Bad Email

2009-12-07T02:22:25Z

Aaronak: grammar fix

<div class="thumb tright"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:202px;"><div class="hovul" style="font-size:smaller;border-bottom:1px #CCC solid;margin-bottom:4px;padding-bottom:4px">[[hr:sbemail.html|Strong Bad Email menu]]</div>[[File:Compé email.png|200px|Strong Bad checks his email.]]<div style="padding-top:4px">Strong Bad checks his email.</div></div></div>
'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', was originally a small feature in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. The animations were initially brief, but gradually the responses grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], such as [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Hremails]], [[Strong Badia]], the minor character [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email includes numerous [[Easter egg]]s and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[japanese cartoon]], [[video games]], and [[theme song]], are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

Introduced in 2001, Strong Bad Email has historically been the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]], but was put on hiatus from September 2008 to June 2009. [[The Brothers Chaps]] stated in interviews that they wanted to focus on other characters and vary their output.[http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&category2=&article_no=3983&page=1] Email 200 just happened to be a round number at which to take a break.[http://omgnintendo.blogfaction.com/article/108144/one-year-of-wiiware-matt-and-mike-chapman-on-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people/]

With the October 5, 2009 update, a link to the [[Store]] page where [[Store_CD/DVDs|DVDs of the emails]] could be purchased was added on a [[sticky note]].

==Milestones==
Whenever Strong Bad reaches an email milestone, such as 100 or 200, the email will be special or at least some note will be taken. Thus far, five emails have been considered milestones.

*50. [[50 emails]] — Strong Bad checks 50 emails (or attempts to) in honor of it being his 50th email check.
*100. [[flashback]] — The email is done in widescreen. [[Marzipan]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Old Timey Strong Bad]], and [[Limozeen]] congratulate him on his 100th email. Upon the Compy indicating that he has checked 100 emails with a special screen, Strong Bad says "email" 100 times. [[Homestar]] says "Happy 100th birthday, Strong Bad".
*125. [[rock opera]] — features scenes and at least one word from all of Strong Bad's emails.
*150. [[alternate universe]] — Strong Bad goes into many alternate universes featuring alternate versions of himself, which at the end accompany him in a supergroup ballad. Called the "sesquicentennemail".
*200. [[email thunder]] — The email song is a grand fanfare written by [[They Might Be Giants]] and sung by [[The Poopsmith]]. The email also ends with a screen listing the first 200 emails.

Frequently, a "teaser" toon is released a week before a milestone email in order to play off the anticipation for the upcoming milestone. The teaser toons so far have been [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (teasing viewers hoping to view email 100 before it was released); [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (in which Strong Sad tries to convince Strong Bad to check email 150 and writes a proposed storyboard for it); [[Place ya bets!]] (in which [[the Deleteheads]] speculate on what will happen in email 200); and [[Page Load Error]] (in which the Deleteheads camp out at the sbemail200.html URL).

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy, Corpy or Compé-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 234 emails as of [[videography]].
*As of [[being mean]], it would take 9 hours, 42 minutes, and 34 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*As of [[the movies]], Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[Secret_Pages_XML_Source#Random_Toon_XML_File|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], [[redesign]], and [[hremail3184]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], [[retirement|retirement B]] after when the Lappy was kidnapped, and after [[hremail3184]] when the Lappy is destroyed, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.
**If you clicked the random.bat button on the Lappy after [[hremail3184]] was released, Strong Bad would still say the things during the random email selection even though he wasn't still there.
*The Strong Bad Email menu of the Corpy NT6 lacked a random button; however, Strong Bad sung his lines for selecting a random email and a random email will be selected by using a Flash seekbar.
**The Compé menu lacked a random button from its introduction until August 31, 2009, when a new scroll button song was also released.
*The Compé Email Menu zooms in before Strong Bad finishes double-clicking it.
*The Compé Email Menu's "go rando!" button is clickable, even when zooming in.
*When Strong Bad's head moves, his mask protrudes the top of his head.

{{aboutcharacter}} {{fortoon|The King of Town DVD}} {{for|[[Decemberween]] character|The King of Town (Decemberween)}} {{for|title|King of Town (title)}}

== Biography ==
'''The King of Town''', middle name [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2#Message 6|Wad]] and self-nicknamed the "KOT", is a very rich man and the ''de jure'' ruler of [[Free Country, USA]], though in [[labor day]], [[Strong Bad]] suggests that his title is self-proclaimed. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge his rulership; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. His head is completely white with black lines for eyes, a [[mustache]] and a beard, though it was suggested in [[diorama]] that the white is fur or hair, as he has pink flesh underneath. He wears a gold crown and what appears to be a red robe with white trim with [[Lack of Visible Arms|no arms]]. He has been seen in different attire resembling a striped one-piece swimming suit when swimming ([[keep cool]]) and in Strong Bad's amazing feats of wonder ([[retirement]]). When in this suit, it suggests that he has this white fur/hair all over his body.

One of the King's main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him, except [[peas]] and [[The Cheat]]. He had a long-standing aversion to [[whatsit]] which finally ended in [[fan club]]. His favorite food is [[butter]], though in [[Homestar Ruiner]], he has a natural love for [[chocolate]], since it is one of his "several hundred culinary weaknesses." As a result of his unhealthy eating habits, he has many, sometimes serious, health problems, as it is the norm for him to have several heart attacks after eating. According to the [[record book]], he is the "least healthiest (man?)". As revealed in the sbemail [[pizza joint]], he spends most of his day calling random numbers in hopes of finding a new restaurant, and has found [[The Pizz]] as a result.
[[Image:3dkot.png|thumb|140px|Do I smell 3D?]]
The King employs [[The Poopsmith]] (for personal reasons) and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. Like [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Homsar]], and [[Marzipan]], he also has no [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]], but can handle things as though he does. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60s. He also leads the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]] during the [[Fall Float Parade]]. According to a message he left on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2|Marzipan's answering machine]] and on Strong Bad's answering machine in [[Lappynapped!]], he can play the guitar, and was finally seen doing so in [[Baddest of the Bands]]. Along with [[The Cheat]], he has cut a remix demo called "Not Talkin' About Butter". He also has his very own "[[KOT's VOQPCS!|quite popular cartoon show]]" which, although it was pre-empted in favor of a [[Strong Bad Email]] in [[senior prom]], was shown some time later. He is also an authorized [[Wikipedia: Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller as seen in [[TrogdorCon '97]].

It has become unclear whether the King has royal ancestors from whom he inherited the official honor of "King", or if his title is self-imposed and he simply purchased his crown from the "Costume Palace", as could be interpreted from his character video. In [[original]], [[Strong Bad]] claims that "there've been like twelve King of Towns". An Easter egg at the end of the email shows graves for 11 Kings of Town, including one known as "Onion King of Town", although it is unknown if this is real or imaginary. [[Marzipan]] and [[Bubs]] both claim that [[Strong Bad]] was lying about [[Original Bubs]], who angrily leaves due to the ''current'' King eating the mayo off his egg salad, ([[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] seems to miss Original Bubs, though) so Strong Bad may have been lying about the other Kings of Town as well. It is revealed in [[Strong Badia the Free]] that he hates his job, so much that he tricks [[Strong Bad]] into taking over his castle while getting his [[House of the Brothers Strong|house]]. A short time later in the game, he is tricked into retaking his throne.

Although the King wears his crown most of the time, it has been stolen by Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. It has also been worn by Strong Bad when he was on a "regal [[rampage]]", by [[Coach Z]] when he tackled The King while thinking he was going to eat The Cheat in [[Where's The Cheat?]], by The Cheat in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and [[Strong Bad]] took his spare crown in Strong Badia the Free.

The King can be heard [[The King of Town Booing|booing]] from time to time, even at himself.

In [[Play Date]] it is implied that the King has been married to a bowl of [[Wikipedia:Brunswick stew|Brunswick stew]] for fifty years, referred to by the King as the "dollop of sour cream" anniversary.

{{Character Video Transcript}}

== Fun Facts ==
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed the King was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that's not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don't visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn't cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline in [[Flash]].
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. Typically one would ''earn'' an item of equal or lesser value by purchasing a different item.
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.
*He was once slim and trim, but according to [[flashback]], may have gotten his weight from the lifetime supply of fishsticks because nobody else would claim them.
*Apparently, the King has a ham for a heart, as shown in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*When playing the game [[Kid Speedy]] in KOT mode, the King appears to gain energy by eating junk food and [[swear]] words. Although he has exhibited his love of unhealthy food on many occasions, his predilection for foul language is otherwise unknown.
*The King once purchased the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] from [[Bubs]], but was unable to make it run in order to check his emails. He claimed it was "the last time he'll buy a used computer from Bubs". His email address is currently invalid. He also has had an answering machine that claims that he "has no messages...ever", that he has "no friends", and that "nobody likes" him.
*He may have German heritage, due to the fact that his Old-Timey variation is German and he wears a pickelhaube in [[Ever and More!]].
*Though he claims he lives in "yon castle", Strong Bad claims in the [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|commentary]] to [[The King Of Town DVD]] that he actually lives in a run-down two-bedroom home next door to him.
*In the short, [[Donut Unto Others]], it is shown that the King possesses either powers of teleportation or skills as a ninja, as he can appear and disappear in a puff of smoke without any sign of him, even when standing in an open field.

'''Page Title:''' Total Coincidence! Not Intentional!

==Transcript==
''{slow fade to a closeup of Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, what should I do today? ''{turns the other way and takes a deep breath}'' I just wonder what I should be doing today, you know? ''{shakes head}'' I just can't seem to stop wondering what I maybe might could be should be doin' today!

''{cut to a long shot of Homestar standing alone on a tiny ice floe, with an iceberg visible in the background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man. ''{the echo is heard; Homestar looks around}''

''{cut to a closer shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, I know! I can pretend one leg is shorter than the other again. ''{Homestar lifts his right leg and lets it swing freely}'' ''{softly}'' It doesn't touch!

''{cut to a long overhead shot of Homestar drifting which crossfades to a slightly grainy black and white picture with the legend "SATELLITE FEED" in the lower right corner}''

''{camera pulls back to reveal the TV is sitting in The House of The Brothers Strong}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you have, like, no idea how we pulled this off?

''{reverse shot of Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the television}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{shrugging}'' ''{uncertain The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's retrace our steps. We stole Homestar's melonade...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{nodding}'' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You made pee-pee in said melonade...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{embarrassed affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now he's on a tiny ice floe in the middle of the Arctic somehow.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{enthusiastic affirmative The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think we might be missing a couple key steps there.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{shrugging}'' ''{uncertain The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man! This is like our best caper ever and we don't even remember what we did!?

''{cut back to Homestar. A black lump with whiskers can be seen floating off to frame left.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay! Bye, bloated sea lion carcass! ''{singsong}'' Thanks for stopping by! ''{cut to a closer shot}'' Marzipan, we've got to have them over more often. They are a ''riot''! ''{Homestar looks over his shoulder, annoyed}'' Hm! ''{He starts shaking his body erratically and grunting before taking out a satellite phone}'' Oh, that is it, satellite phone! You've poked me for the last time! ''{He tosses the phone into the ocean}'' You too, flare gun. ''{He takes out a flare gun and drops it into the ocean}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat lying on the carpet}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're sure you don't remember like, tricking Homestar into getting onto a cargo plane, ''{a sketch of Homestar, with his tongue sticking out, running towards a plane with a sign saying "Free Pile" appears over them and fades}'' maybe bribing some walruses, ''{a sketch of The Cheat (with strange, long legs) handing a wad of cash to three walruses appears and fades}'' or like experimenting with the folding of space-time? ''{a sketch of a diagram of a black hole, The Cheat with [[Cool Shades|glasses]], and several math equations appears and fades}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{negative The Cheat response}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, the only thing we know for certain is that you made wee ''{a sketch of a glass of melonade appears}'' in Homestar's melonade...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affimative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now he's stuck ''{a sketch of a globe appears with a circle around it pointing to a tiny Homestar}'' on the other side of the globe, of which we mysteriously have satellite coverage. ''{a satellite appears next to the globe}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it, I'm taking you to the vet!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{leaps up}'' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

''{cut back to a medium shot of Homestar standing on the ice floe}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right. At this point, I'm willing to admit that maybe, ''just maybe'', this ''{close-up of Homestar}'' isn't Marzipan's new patio. I should probably yell for help.

''{cut to a long shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Larry! ''{echo is heard}''

''{cut back to a close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Larry sounds like the kind of guy that could help me out of this jam!

''{cut back to long shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voice breaking}'' Larry! ''{echo}''

''{cut back to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar? ''{echo}''

''{cut to a medium shot. Strong Sad is drifting in frame left on an ice floe similar to Homestar's, holding a book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, would you please keep it down?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great! Strong Sad! You're a polar bear, right?

''{close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Use your frost breath to turn me into an ice cube, so future generations can thaw me out ''{cut back to a medium shot of the two of them}'' and marvel at my same length legs!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Boy, did I pick the wrong hemisphere to aimlessly drift through this year...

''{black card with an iceberg and the word "end." appears}''

:''{He takes out a trash can, which has a fill line drawn on it and a "Grody Sample" label taped to it}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia: Spacetime|Space-time]] is a mathematical model that combines space and time into a single entity.

===Remarks===
*When Homestar yells, his voice echoes, even though there is nothing around him for his voice to echo off of.
*Homestar mentions a "bloated sea lion carcass" despite the fact that sea lions do not actually live in the Arctic Ocean.
*The Cheat bends his arms as if he had hands.
*The globe showing where Homestar is resembles more of the United States globe, rather than that of [[Free Country, USA]]. There also appears to be no Arctic on the previously shown globes of the Homestar Runner world.
*In this Toon, Strong Bad's arms are in a new curved style.

===Goofs===
*In the black-and-white satellite footage, the ice sheet that Homestar is standing on has a colored outline.
*When Homestar yells for Larry, the water sparkles extend over the horizon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*The running time for this short was listed as 2:43 on the [[New Stuff]] menu, but 3:09 on the [[Toons#Shorts|Shorts]] menu. This was fixed the following week.

===Glitches===
*You can still access the Easter Egg before the music ends.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat tainted Homestar's [[melonade]] by [[peeing]] in it.
*One of the people to whom Homestar called for help was [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's relationship|himself]].
*The tune played at the end of this short reminds of the song [[The Cheat is Not Dead]] which originates from [[caper]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Total Coincidence! Not Intentional!" title is referring to the cartoon's unfortunate timing; it was released the day after [http://www.foxtoledo.com/dpp/news/ap_ohio_Agencies_troubleshoot_Lake_Erie_oce_floe_rescue_effort 134 people were rescued from a freeflowing sheet of ice] that broke off into [[Wikipedia:Lake Erie|Lake Erie]].
*The pan pipe musical riff that plays on the third cut to Homestar (and returns on the appearance of the word "end") is a reference to the opening cut-scene of [[Wikipedia:The Curse of Monkey Island|The Curse of Monkey Island]], which begins with a similar tune and a shot of Guybrush Threepwood drifting across the sea in a floating bumper car.

Rather Dashing

2009-11-05T18:23:53Z

Aaronak: also adding reference to pants

[[Image:rather real.jpg|thumb|right|"Rather Dashing? More like Rather Homely!"]]
[[Image:rather dashing.png|thumb|left|55px|Short Pants Action!]]
'''Rather Dashing''' is a peasant wearing short pants and hero of the Peasant's Quest [[Peasant's Quest|game]] and [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer|movie]]. His mission in life is to seek revenge against [[Trogdor]], the dragon that burninated his thatch-roof cottage. He embarks on a long and perilous journey to slay the Burninator and bring peace to the vast countryside of [[Peasantry]]. [[Strong Bad]] enjoys playing the game, but ended up killing Rather during the intro to [[for kids]] by being bonked on the head by a [[Kerrek]]. In [[Snowglobe]], the peasant returns wearing a festive [[Decemberween]] hat and scarf.

The sprites used for Rather Dashing are modeled after Graham (and to a lesser degree, his son Alexander) from the old Sierra On-Line ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]]'' series.

He has been portrayed in the film Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer by [[Matt Chapman]], acting out much of the plot from the game.

In [[8-Bit is Enough]], Rather Dashing tells Strong Bad that he has given up the dragon-slaying business, and has moved into princess-saving. He also explains that his short [[pants]] are incredibly comfortable, and that it would be difficult to do things like GET ROCK or THROW BABY in long pants.

Spoons

2009-11-05T18:11:23Z

Aaronak: you can't get ye spoon

[[File:todaybor.PNG|thumb|Try as he might, The Cheat never got ye spoon.]]
There are many '''spoons''' in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. These are often used to eat normal foods in normal ways. However, there are times where they're used in surprising or unusual ways: to eat things not normally considered as food or as [[weapons]]. Incidentally, [[The Cheat]] has never held a '''spoon'''.

==Notable Appearances==
*The [[Homestarmy]] has each soldier use an [[Orange Bowl and Spoon]] as a helmet and a sword.
*[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] — [[Homsar]] presents a spoon taped to an eggplant to the judges, instead of a pumpkin.
** This reappears in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — The player, [[Homestar Runner]], needs to get a spoon or other stirring utensil from [[Bubs]].
**In an out-take of [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], Bubs mentions an "Under Siege 2" collector's spoon.
*[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]] — [[Strong Bad]] mentions carving a tattoo out of soap with a spoon.
*In [[That a Ghost]] — [[Fat Dudley]] uses a spoon to eat a shoe.
*[[Thy Dungeonman 3]] — Attempting to "take spoon" while you are in the cauldron, the game informs you, "Twould be like removing the sword from the stone.
*Email [[keep cool]] — Strong Bad places a spoon of hoisin sauce on Strong Sad's head to find out the current temperature.
*A [[main page pop-up]] says that, without this very wiki, the [[Brothers Chaps]] could not remember which toon [[The Cheat]] held a spoon in.

Aaronak: /* Trivia */ In SB's defense, also first time Cardgage has produced sound effects like Homsar. Thought it was apprapriate to note that.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is sitting at his [[hremail]] desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Tiecollarondemous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Tiecollarondemous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! ''{A record scratch is heard.}'' I can't takes it no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it. A white flash and an explosive-like effect on Homestar are seen when this happens.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A tool with a very spiky end is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my comprooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place while his hair gets slightly blown, and sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echos his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is pretending to eat from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer Pop-Tart with a vengeance! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a couple of green stain drips on the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like, "Dooooooj!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like, "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops flies toward Coach Z for nearly eight seconds. As Strong Bad continues the explosion, Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said it like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one. I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk it broken in two from the explosion, and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side; quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{more angrily; still quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

*This is the only [[hremail]] accessible from [[Denny's Menu]], as well as the only one accessible from outside the [[New Stuff]] page, not counting the unnamed hremail in [[email thunder]].
*There is no link to email Strong Bad in this email.

===Remarks===
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
** After the virus was gone, Bubs was seen using a pump action shotgun, when in this clip, it is a double-barreled shotgun.
* Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by [[Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.
* The USB standard had not yet been invented at the time 486-based laptops were available.
* This email contains several instances of [[Deliberately Poor English]].
*Marzipan's Garden Weasel has five wheels with four tines each, while real models have six wheels with eight tines each.
* The subject of Kelly's message, "Coolness", is spelled with a capital 'C' when shown in Strong Bad's inbox. However, when Strong Bad opens the message, "coolness" is displayed with a lowercase 'c'.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor. Also, although Strong Bad does not move, he is standing on some of the ashes as well.
*When Strong Bad is holding the Garden Weasel and wiping his head, the arm wiping his head is not visible.
*The word "millennium" is misspelled during the description of the steak sandwich.
*For one frame the black part of Strong Bad's mask in the reflection comes off the Tandy when Strong Bad punches it.
*Strong Bad's pants switch from having a purple sheen to having a gray sheen during the course of the cartoon.


===Inside References===
*The text on the mug on Homestar's desk appears to read "Auntie Gertr♥de's Tea", which is likely a reference to [[Aunt Gert]], the pantyhose doll from [[garage sale]].
*The explosion montage comprises scenes from [[gimmicks]], [[invisibility]] (slightly modified; see below), [[virus]] (not previously depicted), [[retirement]] (B), and [[retirement]] (A), respectively.
**In his flashback, the broken [[Tandy 400]] explodes when Strong Bad knocks it off his desk. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]].
*The broken section of wall above the destroyed desk is the same shape as the the broken section of wall behind the Compy at the end of [[virus]].
*[[Onomatopoeia|Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner Universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
**Oddly enough, this toon appeared just several days before the 4th of July, the holiday Happy Fireworks was about.
*Strong Sad's "Gardenboy" wrestling persona (seen in the Easter egg) originated in the email [[yes, wrestling]].
*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when Senor Cardgage first shows up in his house, and he and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] both smile in the Pop-Tart scene.
*Although censored, [[blood]] can still be seen trickling down Homestar Runner's face after being hit with the garden weasel.
*The scene in which Strong Bad introduces his "new computer" is a parody of the [[Lappy 486]]'s intro in the email [[animal]]. The background is originally from [[The Show]].
*Coach Z's "Port Plus" was previously mentioned in [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Horrible Painting]] for some.
*The Lappy's pronunciation "bwees-ness" was used previously in [[theme park]], where Strong Bad makes fun of how the email's author misspells "business".
*Strong Sad exclaiming "Oh, child!" echoes [[retirement]], when the Lappy exclaimed the same thing.
*The "Fightin' Coach Zs" logo from [[One Two, One Two]] appears on the athletic field.
*Strong Bad's line "Aaah! I can't takes it no more!" from offscreen is reminiscent of [[First Time Here?]].
*"Org-ethnic" is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[organic]]" and "ethnic".
*The image of a [[Lappy_486#Female_Lappy_486|Female Lappy]] with [[Fangs|fangs]] in the explosion could be a reference to the ghosts of the [[Tandy 400]] and [[Compy 386]], as seen in the end of [[retirement]].
**The fanged Lappy itself appeared previously in [[SBCG4AP]], when you [[DELETED]] an email.
*Strong Bad imitating an echo when he reads "Dear Strong Bad," is reminiscent of the beginning of [[redesign]], in which Strong Bad's voice actually echoed as he read those words. (redesign had been released after an extensive hiatus between Strong Bad Emails.)
*Strong Bad reading "Da Newspapes" in the bathroom refers to [[candy product]] and [[underlings]], complete with matching articles and similar one-liners.
*The pop-tart scene involves Strong Bad [[Poor Acting|acting poorly]].

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Garden Weasel|Garden Weasel]] is a garden implement made famous mainly through late night infomercials.

*Senor Cardgage's "Beverly clearly" is a reference to children's author [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Pop-Tarts|Pop-Tart]] is a popular breakfast pastry that comes in several flavors and is commonly prepared with a toaster.
*Coach Z's "PORT PLUS +" is a reference to the shampoo/conditioner "Pert Plus", just in a Coach Z accent.
*Strong Bad's "Dooj" button resembles the "Easy" button from commercials for [[Wikipedia:Staples Inc.|Staples]], an office supply chain.
*Homestar's repeating the phrase "Don't call it a comeback" is a reference to the first line of "[[WIkipedia:Mama Said Knock You Out (song)|Mama Said Knock You Out]]" by [[Wikipedia:LL Cool J|LL Cool J]].
*Gardenboy's line in the Easter Egg that he doesn't care if Marzipan is a "women's champion or man's champion..." is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]], the intergender wrestling champion.
*When the The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition promo is shown, the "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Sega 32X|Sega 32X]], a mushroom shaped add-on for the [[Wikipedia:Sega Mega Drive|Sega Genesis/Mega Drive]].

Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship

2007-11-18T17:36:32Z

Aaronak: Looking at a Thing in a Bag - he starts talking to himslef

[[Image:Homstarvs.PNG|thumb|"Man, man, we should start putting those Homestar Vs. Homestar fights on pay-per-view."]]

[[Homestar Runner]] is frequently very confused and often appears to '''forget who he is'''. He then interacts with himself as though he is a different and separate person.

==Appearances==
*Email [[the show]] — One of Homestar's cards reads "homestar = you".
*[[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] — Homestar asks himself what he's doing, and then replies to himself.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]] — Homestar does extremely poor imitations of various characters on the switched tape, including himself.
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — Homestar asks [[Pom Pom]] whom he's working with when the two search for [[The Poopsmith]]. When Pom Pom replies, Homestar remarks that "Homestar Runner" sounds like a "no-goodnik".
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]] — Homestar nicknames himself "Boyfriend [[Dan]]", but instantly forgets he has done so, ultimately ending up inadvertently threatening his self-instated alter-ego.
*Email [[garage sale]] — Homestar advertises himself for sale, then offers to buy one of himself, and then turns around and offers to buy twelve.
*[[TrogdorCon '97]] — Homestar dresses up as himself for the con, agreeing with [[Strong Bad]] that he has an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]".
*Email [[cliffhangers]] — In an [[Easter egg]], Homestar accuses himself of stealing the [[Lappy 486]], saying that he's got the history and the motives.
*[[Happy Hallow-day]] — Homestar is talking to and referring to himself as "[[Douglas|Doug]]" while revealing his plan to capture [[Halloween]] night.
*Email [[4 branches]] — Homestar has himself on his own [[The Show|"You're a bad boyfriend" talk show]].
*Email [[looking old]] — Homestar calls [[Homsar]] "Homestar".
*Email [[strong badathlon]] — Homestar is the reigning champion in the "Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating", as demonstrated when he taunts, punches and slaps himself.

Does anyone else think that the sound made by the group when they are running to Marzipan's party is ripped off from the Flinstones? Or is that a generic "cartoon running" noise ? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:33, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

==Closed STUFF==
=== Reference? (DECLINED) ===

In the beggining of the toon, when Homestar is "standing behind the gazebo", may be a reference to "A Jumping Jack Contest".

*'''If it is a reference, then it's just accepted, but since there is no reference, it's DECLINE ALL THE WAY, scalawag''' My jingle says it all. THERE IS NO REFERENCE I CAN SEE AT ALL! YES, I MUST YELL! JEEZ! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 14:35, 22 May 2005 (UTC)Cheatachu72
*'''Whaatever happened to.... Declination? It used to be so cooooooooool!''' [[User:EDY-innit|EDY-innit]] 14:52, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
*<s>'''A Simple Decline''' - No, there is no connection. Simple as that. </s> Actually, '''Rewrite.''' After thinking about it, there ''is'' a slight similarity, (Hence the fact that Homestar was drinking a lot more Melonade than he should and ended up having to use the bathroom), but it's really no reference. It just basically tells you that Homestar has a problem with over-drinking. Reword it not as a reference, but as a character trait. [[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] 8:28 PM, 23 May 2005
*'''Decline''' Actually, there IS a similarity (think about it!) but not enough for me to call it a "reference". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:40, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Nah. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' - I dunno how this is a "reference"...is it just because Homestar is releaving himself in both? I don't get the connection -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 18:22, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
** I'm not supporting this fact, but I want to clue you in on the similarity. What do you think Homestar is DOING behind the gazebo? That makes the wood not light later on and had to do with melonades? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:28, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
***Gotcha, and I stand by my decline -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Rewrite.''' Now that Jay has cleared it up, I know what was meant by the above Fun Fact. It just needs to be reworded in a way that makes sense. (I.e. Homestar drinking several glasses of melonade may be a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].) Though we're never actually told in The Luau that Homestar urinated on all the logs that Strong Bad tried to light, it is obvious if you pay close attention. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 18:30, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' There's not enough for a reference. That's like saying that The poopsmith shovels crap is a reference to another time he shoveled crap.[[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 15:55, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) (This would be a decline, but I've already voted)

== Hork, eh? ==

Does Strong Bad's use of the word "hork" require a reference to its origin (''The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew'', 1983) or has it passed sufficiently into the vernacular to stand on its own? --[[User:Darksasami|Darksasami]] 08:58, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== ukelele/ukulele ==

I'm new to wiki so i don't know if i'm doing this right, but I'm going through and editing spelling errors, and i don't know if ukelele is spelled right. according to the wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele)

The ‘ukulele (pronounced /ʔukulele/, or the Anglicised /ˌjukəˈleɪli/), or uke, is a fretted string instrument which is, in its construction, essentially a smaller, four-stringed version of the guitar. In the early 20th century, the instrument's name was often rendered as "ukelele", a spelling still used in Great Britain. The Hawai'ian spelling ‘ukulele is also sometimes seen.

so i don't know if its right or wrong or if i should just leave it? it could be listed as a goof or a remark too. Also, its listed as Ukulele on most other pages, and ukulele on a few other pages. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 02:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, if you ask me, use the Hawaiian spelling, as that's what it ''should'' be. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:So should i change it to ukulele? and if someone wants to change remarks or goofs? i don't know, i'm a n00b here. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 03:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
::Well, let's wait and see. Maybe some language experts could help us out (as opposed to Hawaii fans)? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I do notice that Marzipan pronounces it as "oo-''koo''-lay-lay", which is the Hawaiian pronounciation/spelling. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Animation Question ==

I don't know if it's just the [[Toons]] menu or anything, but if this 'toon was released after [[A Jorb Well Done]], how come it uses an older animation style than it? Just wondering. [[User:Homsar Wikiman|Homsar Wikiman]] 14:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:That's a good question. I wonder if the toons menu is wrong. If it isn't, that sure is weird. Maybe we should put that question on [[HRWiki:Questions]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 14:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::I'm sorry to bring up such an old conversation, but it was mentioned is the "A Jorb Well Done" commentary that A Jorb Well Done was remade in cerrent animation sytle. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 20:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

== Hork / Hoard ==

I'm pretty sure that Strong Bad's line is "I know where we can '''hork''' some," not "...where we can '''hoard''' some." I can clearly hear the k at the end of the word, and "hoard" doesn't make sense in that context. "Hork" is slang for "steal", which is precisely what Strong Bad is doing. The word "hork" was used a lot by the McKenzie Brothers of SCTV and the movie ''Strange Brew''. [[User:Aaronak|Aaronak]] 20:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
:I distinctly hear "hork" too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've gotta stop drinkin' so much melonade. I think I have a serious problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''You're'' gonna have a problem if you don't monitor this tofu. I have to tune my oo-koo-lay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay. ''{singing to himself}'' A doo doo, a doo doo doo, a doot doo doo doo. A bab-dib do doo doo—

''{In the distance, Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat poke their heads onto the screen from the left, looking at the gazebo. The camera pans right to remove them from the shot, and Strong Sad is revealed standing on the other side of the fire.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, about 20 minutes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, okay. ''{takes a step away}'' That's weird.

''{scene transition to Strong Bad's backyard. Poot Slap is playing in the background. Everybody is wearing their "Crap for Brains" name tag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking past the Poopsmith, Bubs and Coach Z)'' Ah, Crap for Brains, glad to see you could make it! Oh, Crap for Brains, you lookin' good! Now, let's get this freakin' party started! ''{Lights a match}'' We'll just get this fire started here. With a little match, and a little fire. ''{holds match up to firewood, but it doesn't light}'' And this should probably be working already. Um, and I don't know why this isn't working.

''{Cut to Marzipan's gazebo where Strong Sad is holding a book that says "Polynesian Prose."}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Kallo koo-koo lay kua ka loo ''{cut to the tofu where Homestar is standing. Strong Sad's poetry can be heard in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{His head keeps drooping down, then coming back up, resisting the urge to fall asleep.}'' Zzzzz... Huh! Soooo... Zzzzz... Huh! Boooooooooring.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's roast, where eleven burnt matches are sitting on the ground. Strong Bad is kneeling down next to the stack of firewood with a lit match}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{frustrated}'' UUUUUGH! ''{grumbling}'' Stupid matches, freakin' light the fire!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{rubs belly}'' UUUUUUG. HUNGRY!

'''BUBS:''' I'm with Strong Mad! I feel about as hungry as The King of Town on a Saturday!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm trying! I'm trying! Gtch! ''{taunting voice}'' Hello, my name is piece of wood and I don't want to catch fire. Hello, my name is little ''match'', and I don't want to ''make'' a fire! ''{completely aggravated}'' HELLOOOO! MY NAME IS FIRE, AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY!!!!!

''{Strong Bad knocks a log at the viewer. Homestar then walks onto the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm coming to your stupid party.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom! I love Marzipan and everything, but it was terrible!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I don't think she'll notice I'm gone.

''{cut to Marzipan's gazebo, where Marzipan is playing her ukelele and Strong Sad is reading poetry. Next to the tofu cooking is another piece of tofu, with Homestar's head drawn on it. It is on top of a piece of tofu which has Homestar's body drawn on it. They are being held up by two long sticks. The tofu cooking catches fire.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad's roast. Strong Bad is trying yet again, and unsuccessfully, to make a fire.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What kind of wood you usin' there, Strong Bad? 'Cause ya know, I know a guy who—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man, I stole this stuff from Marzipan's backyard.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh. You didn't get it from behind the gazebo, did you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it all started when I decided to drink 32 glasses of melonade...

'''BUBS:''' Look! There's a fire over there!

''{suddenly, smoke arises from somewhere, then everyone looks at each other and runs, except for Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah, come back, you guys, things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!

''{Everyone runs to the source of the fire - which happens to be Marzipan's still-flaming tofu. They roast their marshmallows over it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Look, Strong Sad, everybody's here!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, how glorious.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, everybody, how's the tofu? ''{Cut to Coach Z, Pom Pom, and Bubs chewing on marshmallows, then back to Marzipan}'' Everyone loves tofu!

''{Musical sting, then transition to Strong Bad's place, where he has finally given up and is trying to roast a marshmallow over a lit match. Scattered bags of unopened marshmallows are sitting on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you guys, come back! I think I got it all figured out now! Oh, man! What am I supposed to do with all these leftover marshmallows? I bought, like, four hundred pounds!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walking by, humming, then looks at Strong Bad.}'' Oh, excuse me, but did I hear you say... leftovers?

''{close up of a nametag reading "the end for brains"}''

''{transition to Marzipan's backyard, where Marzipan is talking to the tofu model of Homestar. There is a flame on his "head".}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks for helping me with my party today, Homestar. I think it was a really big success! ''{she nuzzles him}'' You've been really nice to me the last few minutes! ''{Tofu Homestar's "head" falls off. Blackout, record scratch}'' Put your head back on this instant!

''{Cut to the [[Luau Main Page]].}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:luau|luau]] is a type of feast prominent in Hawaiian culture. It consists primarily of traditional Polynesian song and dance and the eating of an ethnic dish called [[Wikipedia:Poi_%28food%29|poi]], as well as roasting pork and salmon over an open rotisserie. Since Marzipan is a vegetarian, however, she instead roasts a slab of [[Tofu|tofu]].
*An [[Wikipedia:ukulele|ukulele]] (often spelled "ukelele" in Great Britain) is a small, 4-stringed, guitarlike instrument that originated in Hawaii in the 1880s. English-speakers usually pronounce it "yoo-koo-lay-lee," but Marzipan's pronunciation ("oo-koo-lay-lay") is more authentic.

===Trivia===
*Among the phrases of "Polynesian Prose" that Strong Sad recites are "[[Wikipedia:Kahlua|Kahlua]] and Creme," an alcoholic drink; and "Meka Leka Hi Meka Heiny Ho," which were Jambi's magic words on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-wee's Playhouse]].
*This the first time Strong Bad uses the term 'crazy-go-nuts', something which will eventually evolve into [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*This is the first time [[Missy Palmer]] has been credited as a writer.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's invitation says "Your invited," [[Strong Bad's Spelling|misspelling]] "you're." This is ironic since Strong Bad has a penchant for scoffing at [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling and grammar mistakes]] when checking his email.
**Strong Bad even sings a song about the differences of the two words in [[local news]].
*When you first see Strong Sad standing next to the fire, in the background, you see the lights across the fence somehow seem to just stop from where scene view would have ended.
*Interestingly, Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]] displays moving bars even when it isn't playing.
*The invitation to the Luau says that Strong Sad will be reading "Ancient Hawaiian Poetry", yet his book says "Polynesian Prose."
*Strong Mad's logo on his chest is slightly different from the previous toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The sound effect played while Strong Bad's invitation is displayed is the same one used in old holiday toons.
*This is another instance of [[Foreign words|foreign words]] being mispronounced.
*Strong Bad appears to strike the match on his thumb.

===Goofs===

*The tofu over Marzipan's fire turns, but the stick stuck through it does not.
*The wheels on the tape do not turn in Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]].
*When we see Strong Sad for the first time, the lights on the fence stop in midair.
*When Coach Z turns his head, his "Crap for brains" name tag is reversed.

=== Inside References ===
*The tune Marzipan is playing on the ukelele is the song "Thoughts on a Bird" from the game [[Audition With Marzipan]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The music heard when the invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast is shown is a reference to the logo and music that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video/cbsspecial1987.rm here] (this requires RealPlayer to view). This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]].
*The sound of everybody running is a generic bongo sound effect used in old [[Wikipedia:Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera]] cartoons.

===Fast Forward===
*The phrase "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts|crazy-go-nuts]]!" would be used again in email [[personal favorites]] and [[Main Page 22]].
*Likewise, "Crap for brains" would later be reused in various forms, such as in email personal favorites as "Carp for brains"; [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] as "crap for crap"; and [[invisibility]] in which Strong Bad calls Strong Mad "brain for brains".

== Transcript ==

''{Marzipan walks through the field, which is sprinkled with leaves. A clock reading "8:13 pm" briefly rises from the bottom of the screen before disappearing; however, the sun is clearly still out. Strong Bad hides behind The Stick wearing a red witch's hat and mask.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Half-singing}'' Do do-doo doo, lotsa leaves, do do-doo hmm...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Jumps out from behind The Stick}'' Grody bloody gross and blood!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Bored}'' Eh, nice try, Strong Bad. I'm just not feeling it in broad daylight. And, you were hiding behind a twig.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know. Why isn't it dark yet?

''{Cut to Homestar, dressed as a newsboy and holding up a newspaper. As he says each line, he holds up a different newspaper with a front-page headline matching what he's saying.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extrie, extrie! Read all about it! Halloween Night missing! Citizens mobilize to save holiday! In unrelated news, this newsboy get-up is not my Halloween costume!

''{Closeup of The Local Newspapes. It has a picture of two pumpkins, the headline reads, "Happy Hallow-Day!", and the subtitle reads, "These ARE the opening credits!"}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch. Strong Mad is standing behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Hits the newspaper he's holding}'' This is bull-tonk! How are we supposed to scandalize and vandalize without the protective cover of Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Halloween night?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Questioning The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna go interrogate the toilet for about eight minutes. See if he knows anything. After that, we'll form into a giant robotic Halloween Night-finding space panther! ''{Walks off. Strong Mad and The Cheat look confused. Strong Bad pops his head back in the frame.}'' Or not.

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad. The clock appears again and reads "11:18 pm".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Halloween Niiiight! Come here, boy! ''{Whistles and brings out a chew toy that looks like a brain with a bolt and eyeball sticking out of it. He squeaks it while talking.}'' I got this spooky, yucky chew toy for ya! ''{Whistles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, you are aware that Halloween Night is not a puppy, aren't you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{In a laughing voice}'' Ye-heh-hes! ''{Whistles}'' Obviously! I am...! Aware...! That it is not...! What was that last part?

'''STRONG SAD:''' A puppy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...A puppy!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, good. ''{A yellow glow appears in the upper left corner of the screen, and grows brighter as Strong Sad talks}'' But seriously, we have to find Halloween Night. ''{Eerie music plays.}'' I don't do so well with all this sunlight! ''{Strong Sad looks toward the menacing sunlight.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{while rapidly changing his position}'' Sit, Halloween Night, Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit sit-sit!

''{Strong Sad and Pom Pom slowly back away, then run off. Homestar whistles again.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan on a different part of the field. Marzipan is playing a reggae rhythm on Carol. Coach Z enters.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, whatcha doing there, sista?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Stops playing}'' I'm trying to attract Halloween Night with music. ''{Starts playing again}'' It loves reggae, you know! ''{Stops playing}''

'''COACH Z:''' Good idear! And I can do some of my famous Halloween sound effects that everybody knows me for!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Coach Z, I don't think that's what everybody knows you for.

'''COACH Z:''' What are ya torkin' abort? Listen to this spooky owl! Hort! Hort hooort! Hort hort! Or get a load of these creepy crackets! Cracket! Cracket-dadadadadadada! ''{Marzipan starts playing again}'' Cracket-dadadadada!

'''MARZIPAN:''' We be jammin'! ''{Stops playing, with a vibra-slap sound}''

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. The clock appears for a moment reading "12:09 am" before disappearing. Music plays in the background}''

'''BUBS:''' What is wrong with you people? ''{Holds up a can of black spray paint}'' I got instant spray-on Halloween Night! ''{Sprays can, throws it behind him and holds up black opaque shades with orange frames}'' I got Halloween Night vision goggles! ''{throws glasses behind him and pulls out a "Hollerin' Jimmy's Hovercraft Kit". The words "Hollerin' Jimmy's" have been covered with a piece of masking tape with "Halloween Night" written on it}'' I even got this do-it-yourself Halloween Night hovercraft kit!

''{Cut through static to Spooky Woods with Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat. The trees are covered in yellow flowers.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw man, I thought sure we'd find Halloween Night in the spooky woods! This place has really gone uphill since it disappeared. Even that rotten old skull doesn't seem so creepy.

'''THE SKULL:''' ''{Rainbow afro sprouts from head}'' A-jam on it!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good thinkin' Monchhicheat! That guy's always hanging out with Halloween Night! But how do we find him?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Triumphant the Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat pulls out a keyboard and plays the Goblin's organ jingle. The Goblin appears, wearing swim trunks and sunglasses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this crap-cake? Where's Halloween Night? Strong Mad, pat him down! ''{Strong Mad picks up The Goblin by his feet and shakes him. Several coins, a pencil, some lint, and a hamster ball fall out.}'' Aw, he's clean. I'm taking that hamster ball, though.

''{Cut to outside The King of Town's Castle with Strong Sad, Pom Pom, The King of Town, and The Poopsmith. The clock reads "2:38 am" before disappearing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Cough it up, King of Town! We know you ate Halloween Night!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You amateurs! You don't know what you're talking about. I'm on a diet! ''{The Poopsmith nods his head}'' It's strictly Arbor Day and Earth Day for me this year! ''{The Poopsmith nods his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well now where do we look? I need some doom and gloom soon. ''{Starting to laugh}'' Something funny is happening to the sides of my mouth...! ''{The corners of his mouth wiggle and turn upward, creating weird noises.}''

''{Scene changes to Homestar, making a box trap at The Stick. The trap involves a trail of candies with orange and black wrappers leading to a cardboard box placed over The Stick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Runner, you are a genius! ''{Turns around}'' Thank you, Doug. ''{Turns back around}'' So tell us what you're doing here. ''{Turns around}'' Well, it occurred to me that no Halloween Night could resist these orange and black flavored loose tooth remover candies. ''{Holds up and shakes two orange and black candies before dropping them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' How are they biting today, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sound Effects Man! Ooo-ooo! Do broken wheelchair. On cobblestone!

'''COACH Z:''' Wah-Dlah! Wee-Dlah! Wah-Dlah! Wee-Dlah! Wee-Dlah! ''{Continues making sound effects during Homestar's next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's like I'm right there, wheeling Grandma through the old town. Do you want to stop in here and get a kielbasa, Grandma?

''{Cut to the field with Marzipan, Strong Sad and Pom Pom. Strong Mad, Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in. Strong Sad's mouth is still wiggling. The clock reads "5:42 am" and disappears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Laughing}'' Somebody shoot me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this sucks. Halloween Night's almost over and still no sign of Halloween Night. We should be out there turning treats right now!

''{Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, you guys didn't have any luck either? Oh well, Happy Halloween anyways everybody. ''{The scene suddenly darkens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah! Say that again!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Say what? Happy Halloween? ''{The scene darkens some more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now somebody else say it!

'''COACH Z:''' Horpy Horlaw— ''{The scene gets brighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Covers Coach Z's mouth.}'' Not you, Coach Z. Now, everybody, all at the same time!

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{except Coach Z}'' HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

''{The words "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" appear at the bottom of the screen. The scene darkens into night. Crickets can be heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yes it worked! I'm gonna egg so many candies and eat so much houses. I'm gonna—

''{A rooster crows and the sun abruptly comes up. Birds start singing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, uh... what do we do now?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...

'''EVERYONE:''' HAPPY DAY OF THE DEAD!

''{The words "HAPPY DAY OF THE DEAD!" appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut to the end screen, with a Mexican-style skull of Homestar, wearing a sombrero, while a reggae beat plays, ending with a vibraslap.}''

''{Cut to the final shot, where all of the characters stand in their costumes.}''

==Easter Eggs==
* As with other Halloween cartoons, click on the Poopsmith's head (after the King of Town says "this year") to see Homsar. (He will also appear in the end scene, but he doesn't have a separate Easter egg.)
*: {Homsar is standing beside a pile of newspapers similar to those Homestar is seen with during the toon intro. He is holding up one of the papers to display the headline "EGGS TREE! EGGS TREE!", and a tree growing eggs as fruit can be seen behind him.}
*: '''HOMSAR''': Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down! {as he says the second sentence, his head sinks into his neck, leaving an empty space}
* At the end, click on Strong Bad:
*: '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sta-rong. Bad. That's the best Evil Carmen Sandiego costume I've ever seen!
*: '''STRONG BAD:''' If I wasn't dressed up as a pretend priest-comedian, I'd beat the crap outta you right now.
* At the end, click on Marzipan:
*: '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, I just ''love'' your "I-have-a-caterpillar-crawling-across-my forehead" costume! And kind of a mustache...have..costume...
* At the end, click on The Cheat:
*: '''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, The Cheat, technically shouldn't all this sunlight be turning you into some sort of horrible beastie?
*: '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Covers eyes, The Cheat noises sounding similar to Gizmo's line "Bright lights! Bright lights!"}''
* At the end, click on Strong Sad:
*: '''STRONG BAD:''' 'At's a good costume, Strong Sad. What is that, you at your twenty-year high school reunion?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Kielbasa|Kielbasa]] is a type of Polish sausage.
*The [[Wikipedia:Day of the Dead|Day of the Dead]] is a celebration of the memory of deceased ancestors which is celebrated on November 1st and November 2nd in Mexico. Its art and themes also feature prominently in Frida Kahlo's work. It is also known as [[Wikipedia:All Saints Day|All Saints Day]] or All Hallows Day. The night before, All Hallows Eve, is the basis for the term Halloween.

===Remarks===
*If you view the Flash file in a Decompiler or use the Flash Seekbar bookmarklet, it reveals that the stack of newspapers on the Loading screen reads "[[News Articles|Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!]]", which is the same newspaper Homsar holds up in his scene.
**When Homestar holds up the "In Unrelated News" newspaper, the stack next to him also reads "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
*Three different characters in this toon (Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homsar) play fictional characters of real comedians who were associated with ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]]''.
*Sunlight doesn't turn [[Wikipedia:mogwai|mogwai]] into gremlins; it kills them. Eating after midnight is what triggers the transformation.
*The sun is shown to rise shortly after 5:42 AM on November 1. In the United States, [[Wikipedia:Sunrise|sunrise]] normally occurs about an hour later on that day.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Newspapesgoof.PNG|thumb|Man, newspaper editors have to start COPYING these things, not just gluing them on.]]
*When the opening credits newspaper appears, the picture is off the paper for one of the frames of spinning.
*On the opening credits newspaper, there is an extra space between "ARE" and "the" in the sub-headline "These ARE the opening credits"
*In the scene where Coach Z is imitating a wheelchair, the candy Homestar dropped on the ground in the previous shot is still visible, now in mid-air, and appears on top of Coach Z's arm.
*After Homestar's close-up during Coach Z's wheelchair impression, the last candy in front of the box trap, a black one, has disappeared.


===Inside References===
*"These ARE the opening credits!" is similar to Homestar's T-shirt in [[Malloween Commercial]], which reads "This '''is''' my Costume!"
*The scene at Bubs' Concession Stand follows the same format as the scenes at that location in [[Senorial Day]].
*''[[Periodicals|The Local Newspapes]]'' was also the name of the newspaper Strong Bad was reading in the email [[candy product]] and also appears in the [[Dangeresque]] movies.
*Bubs' do-it-yourself Halloween Night hovercraft kit is a [[Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit|Hollerin' Jimmy's]] brand which previously appeared in the email [[lackey]]. Bubs also had the product then.
*Homsar's head sinks into his body similarily to The Homestar Runner in Kick the Can.
*At the end, Homestar [[What are you supposed to be?|compares]] Strong Bad's costume to his [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|2001]] costume: [[wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]].
*Strong Bad is seen holding a [[Smoking|cigarette]] at the end of the cartoon.
*Strong Mad's shaking of the Goblin and the objects falling out of his head was reminiscent of the scene in [[do over]] where Strong Mad did the same thing to Strong Bad, causing change to fall out of his head.
*This toon features [[Eggs|eggs]].
*Orange and black flavored candies were previously mentioned in [[Malloween Commercial]].
*Eggs tree is a reference to [[colonization]]. If you look at the newspaper that Strong Bad reads when he makes the remark about ketchup on eggs, Homestar Runner is featured saying that eggs are not a fruit.

===Real-World References===
* Forming into a "giant mechanical space panther" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
* Strong Bad calling The Cheat a Monchhicheat is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Monchhichis|Monchhichis]].
*"Jam on it" is a reference to the song of the same name by [[Wikipedia:Newcleus|Newcleus]].
* Strong Bad's witch mask is identical to Lucy's from the [[Peanuts]] cartoon [[Wikipedia:It's_the_Great_Pumpkin,_Charlie_Brown|It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown]].
*The skull in the Spooky Woods with a rainbow afro may also be an [[Wikipedia:Adult_swim|Adult Swim]] reference to the evil clown head in the animated series, [[Wikipedia:Aqua Teen Hunger Force|''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'']].
* The ending screen with the picture of Homestar's skull is reminiscient of the artwork of [[Wikipedia:José Guadalupe Posada|José Guadalupe Posada]], who also made artwork regarding the Day of the Dead, and was a heavy influence on LucasArts' [[Wikipedia:Grim Fandango|Grim Fandango]].
* The description of this cartoon on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] reads: ''Ween night is M.I.A. Galang galang.'' [[Wikipedia:Galang|"Galang"]] is the most famous single by [[Wikipedia:XL Recordings|XL Recordings]] artist [[Wikipedia:M.I.A.|M.I.A.]]

The quotes for cut scenes "after level 27" don't look kosher to me. How could he say "Smote that Kerrek" if the arcade game predated the Kerrek Email?

:I'm not seeing anything that says the Trogdor game was created before the interview email. Dragon and Interview were only a month apart. Even so, TBC could still have added it in later.

PPLLEEAASSEE!!! Won't somebody tell me how to fast-foward past level 27?!!? The whole game's a joke until you get there; it's IMPOSSIBLE!!! Please, anybody, notice this message board, and tell me how to FF past that one level. Thank you so much...I would be immensely obliged! -Justin Hack 10/09/04

As far as I know, any program that lets you fast forward won't let you actually play the levels. That said, they recently fixed level 27 (around Valentine's Day '05), so it is now beatable.

== Not very urgent ==

I've tried to get past level 27 quites a few times and, while I don't know how urgent it is, I'm really trying to figure out to see the rest of the game too. Is there a code of some sort, or how does this "fastforwarding" thing work? -ShadowP13

== OLD (original) version of Trogdor - anybody, anybody? ==

Does anyone have an archived version of the ORIGINAL Trogdor game as it was posted on the website the week the guys were "In Da Basement"? This original version lacked the impossible level 27, but it also lacked all cartoons post-level-20. I'm just curious if a copy's sitting out there somewhere...

[On another note, I'm pretty sure I've visited multiple treasure huts per game, contrary to what I've read on this website.]

:I don't know where you might find the original version, but you might start by looking around some of the various mirror sites (see the [[Links]] page). As for the treasure huts, you can visit more than one per game, but only once the levels start to repeat. --[[User:68.12.101.60|68.12.101.60]] 08:47, 20 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Check this out Chief!! Possible inspiration!! ==

http://www.abandonia.com/games/624/Aargh.htm

Look at this!
This is a game where you play as a badly-drawn giant lizard and terrorize PEASENTS! IN THATCHED HUTS!!!
It's not Trogdor... it's OLDER than Trogdor... but it looks so similar!!! Could it be related - anon

:I don't see why it couldn't have been inspiration. It's related to Rampage, which the Chaps are known to like and have parodied on the site. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:06, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Haven't heard some of the quotes ==

I haven't heard some of the Strong Bad quotes mentioned. I've played A LOT, too. In fact I played to level 100 just to see the animation, and I never heard the following quotes:

: {laughing} "He's on fire! Look at 'em burning!"

: STRONG BAD: "Beat that score, Strong Sad!" STRONG SAD: "I don't even want to play that game."

Could they only have been in the old game? -[[User:xzqx|Anne]]

I just heard the Strong Sad one. -[[User:Aaronak|Aaronak]] 23:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

== Biography ==
[[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|[[Physiology of The Cheat|Yet another biological mystery]]]]
[[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]
[[Image:FleaPrisonRiot.png|thumb|[[retirement|Flea Prison Riot!]]]]

'''The Cheat''' whose name includes the [[Integral Article|integral article]], is at knee-height (1' 2" ''et'' 18lb.), and covered with yellow fuzz. In [[secret recipes]] and [[retirement]], it is shown that The Cheat's skin is a pinkish flesh color under his fur. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his interview. He speaks entirely in a language of [[Deliberately Poor English#A Lack of Intelligible Speech|high-pitched squeaks and growls]], which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is what you could call [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] "sidekick" and [[Strong Mad|Strong Mad's]] best friend. [[Coach Z]] calls him "The Chort". He also reminds [[Strong Bad]] of a duck (email [[lunch special]]). [[Strong Bad]] celebrates his birthday on the only day he knows it isn't: [[cheatday|April 18]].

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred at times (as seen near the end of [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious illegitimacy, it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] (he is discovered behind a Strong Bad mask), and [[caper]].

The Cheat is an amateur Flash animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos on his orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. The Cheat often uses his animations as an outlet for his pent-up feelings of abuse and unappreciation, rewarding his fictional self with [[Trophies|trophies]], fame, and friendship. He's also a master of many instruments; he plays the piano and [[The Cheat's keyboard|keyboard]] (from [[Everybody Knows It]], [[sibbie]], and [[Strong Bad Sings]], and referenced in [[guitar]]), the drums (in the toon [[Cool Things]] and [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]]), guitar, (also in [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]]), and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]]. He also is a [[DJ Teh C.'s Equipment|music producer]], doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." Also, as evidenced by scenes in [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[No Hands On Deck!]], he can knit. His less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Characters' Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''.

The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad, probably tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he hatched from a giant [[Eggs|egg]] (possibly making him a [[Wikipedia:Monotreme|monotreme]], an egg-laying [[Wikipedia:Mammal|mammal]]) containing a lifetime supply of fishsticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. Apparently he normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well (for a The Cheat). Apparently, as explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet.

The Cheat also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no apparent lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's anatomy provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (ie [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]] or [[Happy Fireworks|when agitated]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks.

The Cheat also had a recent battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[Suudsu|suudsu]] and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used.

As a side note, no one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't. This is strange, because if the events in [[flashback]] are true, then The Cheat would have been "born" on the day he came out of the egg.

The Cheat also attracts fleas, as seen in [[retirement]].

== Transcript ==

''{The screen wavers over name tag cards that read "Hello my name is a new homestar runner cartoon" and all the staff, then cut to the luau, with a card reading:}''

<blockquote>You're invited to 
a Meatless Luau! 
 
featuring: 
Ancient Hawaiian Poetry 
read by Strong Sad 
accompanied by 
Marzipan on her Ukulele 
(pronounced oo-koo-lay-lay) 
 
When: TODAY Where: MARZIPAN'S</blockquote>

''{Eventually the card spins out, revealing a banner reading "Aloha!" Marzipan is walking to some cooking tofu. Homestar is standing behind the gazebo, facing away from the viewer.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-lay-lay. Mm! Lookin' pretty good. Homestar, come up here right now and watch the tofu, please.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhh... Hang on. I'm um... doing... something.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Chop-chop! Everyone's gonna be here any minute.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Marzipan, I hate to tell you this, but... I don't think anyone's coming to your party. I think they're all going to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast!!

''{The invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast spins onto screen as the old CBS Special music plays. It reads:}''

<blockquote>Your invited to a 
Marshmallow Roast 
 
when: same day as marzipan's stupid luau 
 
where: my backyard 
 
time: same time as marzipan's stupid luau 
</blockquote>

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?! He scheduled something on the same day as the luau?

''{scene transition to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man you guys, this party's gonna be crazy-go-nuts! Check it out! I've got the marshmallows ''{spreads his hand over said marshmallows}'', I've got all the latest releases from the artists of today ''{cut to boombox playing [[Poot Slap]]}'', and I've carefully filled out everybody's name tags. ''{close up of picnic table filled with name tags that all say "Hello, my name is Crap for Brains"}'' Oh, crap!! I forgot the wood! Come on guys, I know where we can hork some.

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan's backyard}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oo-koo-lay-lay. Oo-koo-l ''{Homestar interrupts with a sigh and comes over but Marzipan continues to sing}'' ay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've gotta stop drinkin' so much melonade. I think I have a serious problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''You're'' gonna have a problem if you don't monitor this tofu. I have to tune my oo-koo-lay-lay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay. ''{singing to himself}'' A doo doo, a doo doo doo, a doot doo doo doo. A bab-dib do doo doo—

''{In the distance, Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat poke their heads onto the screen from the left, looking at the gazebo. The camera pans right to remove them from the shot, and Strong Sad is revealed standing on the other side of the fire.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, about 20 minutes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, okay. ''{takes a step away}'' That's weird.

''{scene transition to Strong Bad's backyard. Poot Slap is playing in the background. Everybody is wearing their "Crap for Brains" name tag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking past the Poopsmith, Bubs and Coach Z)'' Ah, Crap for Brains, glad to see you could make it! Oh, Crap for Brains, you lookin' good! Now, let's get this freakin' party started! ''{Lights a match}'' We'll just get this fire started here. With a little match, and a little fire. ''{holds match up to firewood, but it doesn't light}'' And this should probably be working already. Um, and I don't know why this isn't working.

''{Cut to Marzipan's gazebo where Strong Sad is holding a book that says "Polynesian Prose."}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Kallo koo-koo lay kua ka loo ''{cut to the tofu where Homestar is standing. Strong Sad's poetry can be heard in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{His head keeps drooping down, then coming back up, resisting the urge to fall asleep.}'' Zzzzz... Huh! Soooo... Zzzzz... Huh! Boooooooooring.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's roast, where eleven burnt matches are sitting on the ground. Strong Bad is kneeling down next to the stack of firewood with a lit match}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{frustrated}'' UUUUUGH! ''{grumbling}'' Stupid matches, freakin' light the fire!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{rubs belly}'' UUUUUUG. HUNGRY!

'''BUBS:''' I'm with Strong Mad! I feel about as hungry as The King of Town on a Saturday!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm trying! I'm trying! Gtch! ''{taunting voice}'' Hello, my name is piece of wood and I don't want to catch fire. Hello, my name is little ''match'', and I don't want to ''make'' a fire! ''{completely aggravated}'' HELLOOOO! MY NAME IS FIRE, AND I'M NOT COMING TO YOUR STUPID PARTY!!!!!

''{Strong Bad knocks a log at the viewer. Homestar then walks onto the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm coming to your stupid party.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Pom Pom! I love Marzipan and everything, but it was terrible!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I don't think she'll notice I'm gone.

''{cut to Marzipan's gazebo, where Marzipan is playing her ukelele and Strong Sad is reading poetry. Next to the tofu cooking is another piece of tofu, with Homestar's head drawn on it. It is on top of a piece of tofu which has Homestar's body drawn on it. They are being held up by two long sticks. The tofu cooking catches fire.}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad's roast. Strong Bad is trying yet again, and unsuccessfully, to make a fire.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What kind of wood you usin' there, Strong Bad? 'Cause ya know, I know a guy who—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man, I stole this stuff from Marzipan's backyard.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh. You didn't get it from behind the gazebo, did you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it all started when I decided to drink 32 glasses of melonade...

'''BUBS:''' Look! There's a fire over there!

''{suddenly, smoke arises from somewhere, then everyone looks at each other and runs, except for Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah, come back, you guys, things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!

''{Everyone runs to the source of the fire - which happens to be Marzipan's still-flaming tofu. They roast their marshmallows over it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Look, Strong Sad, everybody's here!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, how glorious.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, everybody, how's the tofu? ''{Cut to Coach Z, Pom Pom, and Bubs chewing on marshmallows, then back to Marzipan}'' Everyone loves tofu!

''{Musical sting, then transition to Strong Bad's place, where he has finally given up and is trying to roast a marshmallow over a lit match. Scattered bags of unopened marshmallows are sitting on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you guys, come back! I think I got it all figured out now! Oh, man! What am I supposed to do with all these leftover marshmallows? I bought, like, four hundred pounds!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walking by, humming, then looks at Strong Bad.}'' Oh, excuse me, but did I hear you say... leftovers?

''{close up of a nametag reading "the end for brains"}''

''{transition to Marzipan's backyard, where Marzipan is talking to the tofu model of Homestar. There is a flame on his "head".}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks for helping me with my party today, Homestar. I think it was a really big success! ''{she nuzzles him}'' You've been really nice to me the last few minutes! ''{Tofu Homestar's "head" falls off. Blackout, record scratch}'' Put your head back on this instant!

''{Cut to the [[Luau Main Page]].}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:luau|luau]] is a type of feast prominent in Hawaiian culture. It consists primarily of traditional Polynesian song and dance and the eating of an ethnic dish called [[Wikipedia:Poi_%28food%29|poi]], as well as roasting pork and salmon over an open rotisserie. Since Marzipan is a vegetarian, however, she instead roasts a slab of [[Tofu|tofu]].
*An [[Wikipedia:ukulele|ukulele]] (often spelled "ukelele" in Great Britain) is a small, 4-stringed, guitarlike instrument that originated in Hawaii in the 1880s. English-speakers usually pronounce it "yoo-koo-lay-lee," but Marzipan's pronunciation ("oo-koo-lay-lay") is more authentic.

===Trivia===
*Among the phrases of "Polynesian Prose" that Strong Sad recites are "[[Wikipedia:Kahlua|Kahlua]] and Creme," an alcoholic drink; and "Meka Leka Hi Meka Heiny Ho," which were Jambi's magic words on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-wee's Playhouse]].
*This the first time Strong Bad uses the term 'crazy-go-nuts', something which will eventually evolve into [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*This is the first time [[Missy Palmer]] has been credited as a writer.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's invitation says "Your invited," [[Strong Bad's Spelling|misspelling]] "you're." This is ironic since Strong Bad has a penchant for scoffing at [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling and grammar mistakes]] when checking his email.
**Strong Bad even sings a song about the differences of the two words in [[local news]].
*When you first see Strong Sad standing next to the fire, in the background, you see the lights across the fence somehow seem to just stop from where scene view would have ended.
*Interestingly, Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]] displays moving bars even when it isn't playing.
*The invitation to the Luau says that Strong Sad will be reading "Ancient Hawaiian Poetry", yet his book says "Polynesian Prose."
*Strong Mad's logo on his chest is slightly different from the previous toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The sound effect played while Strong Bad's invitation is displayed is the same one used in old holiday toons.
*This is another instance of [[Foreign words|foreign words]] being mispronounced.

===Goofs===

*The tofu over Marzipan's fire turns, but the stick stuck through it does not.
*The wheels on the tape do not turn in Strong Bad's [[Ghetto Blastro]].
*When we see Strong Sad for the first time, the lights on the fence stop in midair.
*When Coach Z turns his head, his "Crap for brains" name tag is reversed.

=== Inside References ===
*The tune Marzipan is playing on the ukelele is the song "Thoughts on a Bird" from the game [[Audition With Marzipan]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The music heard when the invitation to Strong Bad's Marshmallow Roast is shown is a reference to the logo and music that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video/cbsspecial1987.rm here] (this requires RealPlayer to view). This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]].
*The sound of everybody running is a generic bongo sound effect used in old [[Wikipedia:Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera]] cartoons.

===Fast Forward===
*The phrase "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts|crazy-go-nuts]]!" would be used again in email [[personal favorites]] and [[Main Page 22]].
*Likewise, "Crap for brains" would later be reused in various forms, such as in email personal favorites as "Carp for brains"; [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] as "crap for crap"; and [[invisibility]] in which Strong Bad calls Strong Mad "brain for brains".
