==Troubleshooting==
If the script doesn't seem to be working for you, please try:
#If you have Adblock, Flashblock, or similar addons installed, disable them on homestarrunner.com.
#Reinstalling the script, by clicking [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Phlip/Greasemonkey&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&fakeextension=.user.js this link].
#Uninstalling Greasemonkey (from the Tools menu in Firefox, choose Add-ons, then go to the Extensions section, click Greasemonkey, then Uninstall), and then reinstall it (from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 here]). You'll probably need to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Phlip/Greasemonkey&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&fakeextension=.user.js install the script] again.
If you're still having problems after that, ''then'' ask for help on this page. Be sure to mention what versions of Firefox and Flash you have, and what other extensions you have installed. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

==Release notes==
===Version 1.0 (8 Mar, 2006)===
*First released version.
*Had the fullscreen, seek bar, prev/next and wiki link features.
*Worked only on the main site.
===Version 2.0 (26 May, 2006)===
*Added the preferences menu.
*Added support for Videlectrix and the HRWiki mirror.
*Added "outside the frame", April Fools and plain HTML navbar options.
===Version 2.1 (8 Aug, 2006)===
*Tooltips in the preferences box.
*The "more better" rando link is now always on... the less better version was just ugly, so I removed it.
*You can set what types of toon are included in the rando selection.
*You have the option to make it check if the next sbemail/whatever actually exists before putting the "next" link (so there's no "next" link on the latest email).
**The only reason this wasn't there before is that it means an extra hit to the H*R servers... but now that I have the preferences things set up, so you can turn it on or off, I think that's fine.
===Version 3.0 (29 Aug, 2006)===
*Added [[HRWiki:Subtitles|subtitling]] functionality.
*Updating no longer requires uninstalling the previous version.
===Version 3.1 (27 Sep, 2006)===
*Whether to show the names next to subtitles is now a distinct setting from the one for colours - you can have neither, either or both.
*There is a button that will purge the local cache for all subtitles-related files downloaded from the wiki and reload the page, for when the cache is out of date.
*The ability to update the test subtitles without refreshing the page for every change (NB: disabled by default, see [[#Refresh Subtitles|below]]).
*Rewind and fast forward buttons on the seek bar to go to the first/last frame, respectively.
*Flash loading progress bar on the seek bar (see how much it's loaded).
===Version 3.2 (25 Sep, 2007)===
*Add option to automatically check for script updates (on by default).
===Version 4.0 (8 Oct, 2014)===
Complete ground-up rewrite of the script! Featuring:
* Chrome support! Install the extension from the [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/homestar-all-in-one/ekecfcebbojjfaiendgjgcadampmppdb Chrome Web Store]!
** Note: Due to limitations in how the settings storage has been written for Chrome, any settings you enter will not transfer between sites... so if you, say, turn on Subtitles while watching a toon on www.homestarrunner.com, and then go to a toon on the HRWiki mirror, your settings won't transfer across, and you'll have to enable Subtitles again for the new site.
* Turning settings on and off no longer causes the page to refresh.
* More modular codebase, making the code easier to navigate and maintain.
** The script is now built from a number of smaller files, accessible at [https://github.com/mrphlip/allinone GitHub].
* Cleaned up some bugs and bitrot from the last version of the script being 7 years old... browsers have changed a lot since then, and the script has been tweaked to match.
===Version 4.1 (2 Oct, 2017)===
* Rewrote Flash-interaction handling to work in newer versions of Chrome.
* Added wikilink override for [[Screenland - 24 Apr 2017]]

==Suggestion==
Would it make sense to change line 272 to
<pre> addHRWikiLink("Index_Page");</pre>
Then I suppose line 261 could be removed. By the way, ''amazing'' work Phlip. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

==Homestar-Fullon Edit==
Using the user script I was getting a scrollbar on every page, so I edited line 411 from
<pre>var dh = window.innerHeight - 10;</pre>
to
<pre>var dh = window.innerHeight - 20;</pre>
This kept all the content in the window, but I didn't have to scroll down to see the navbar at the bottom. Did this happen to anyone else? [[User:Consonance|Consonance]] 08:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
:Not me. Works perfectly for me. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 03:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

==Eventual to-do list==
(in no particular order)
*{{done}} General cleanup of the code.
*{{done}} Work on Videlectrix.
*{{done}} Work on the mirrors (<s>[http://homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/ kitkorp]</s> ''(not needed with Tom working on completing the HRWiki mirror)'' and [[Mirror:|HRWiki]]).
*{{done}} Some way of turning various features on and off maybe?
**{{done}} Only if I get this working, replace the flash files with [[April Fools 2006|theyCallHimFlipper.swf]].
*{{done}} replace the navbar with text links (this is more for me than for you guys).
*{{done}} resize the seek bar when the toon resizes (if you resize the window)
*{{done}} show outside-the-frame stuff
Feel free to add suggestions. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

:I've got one. You could try "flipping the ''whole page'' upside down". You know, using the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipperMainNav.swf?contentURL=main_nav.swf flipped navbar], too. And putting the navbar above the flipped toon/game. 
:Also, you could try adding A-B repeat to the seek bar, if you know enough to do that. Preferably make it a seperate sub-option in the prefs, too.

== Errors in installing ==

I keep getting this error: 
Error installing user script: 
 
[Exception... "Compoment returned failure code: 0x804b000a [nsIIOService.newChannel]" nsresult: "0x804b000a (<unknown>)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://strongbademailsprevnext/content/browser.xul :: getContents :: line 20" data: no]

:"strongbademailsprevnext"? I'm guessing you have [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1695/ this extension] installed? You might want to uninstall that... this script does that stuff too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
::<s>Nope. I only have the script that allows it to be viewed 'full-screen'. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 22:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)</s>
::Nevermind. Turns out that they were both conflicting and I was misinterpreting the second error message. Thanks! {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 22:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC) 
Just as a side-note for people who run into the same problem I did: if you use a program that blends its own Javascript functions into every page you load (mainly found in ad-munching software, like Ad Muncher), make sure you disable it BEFORE installing the Greasemonkey script. Otherwise the extra code might break it, requiring you to clear your cache and install it again with the filters disabled. [[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 14:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

== Refresh Subtitles ==
OK, this feature will need some explaining... First, go Tools→Manage User Scripts, click on "Homestar All-in-one" and click "Edit". If it asks you to choose a text editor, just pick Notepad unless you have something better. It'll look ugly in Notepad (it doesn't recognise the line endings) but it'll work. Now search for <code>if (settings.testsubs && false)</code> and change it to <code>if (settings.testsubs && true)</code>. Now you can use the feature. First you have to turn on "Test subtitles" and hit "Save and apply" as usual, but the next time after the page loads there'll be a "Refresh Subtitles" button below the text area, that re-parses the subtitles without reloading the page - invaluable to subtitle authors.

The reasons the option's not avaliable by default are:
*The interface is clumsy... sometimes the button's there, sometimes it's not there... depending on whether the test subtitles were already enabled before the page loaded... given it's something that's supposed to update stuff without a page load it can be confusing.
*It's not exhaustively tested, and has some weird side-effects (it calls <code>savesettings</code>, so if you, say, turn off the seekbar and hit "Reload Subtitles" the seekbar will remain, but it'll save that you want the seekbar turned off)...
*It's not permanent... Version 4.0 will hopefully make it so that ''all'' settings work like this, and clicking "Save and Apply" won't have to reload the page.
So it's there if you want it, but it's not cluttering up the settings boxes of people that don't want it.

Anyways, enjoy! {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey install method ==
GM's changed the way it installs scripts by link. A single-click on the link will offer to install the script, the option isn't even on the right click menu anymore. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 17:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Just the seek bar ==

Maybe for use on other sites, you could individually release the code for the seekbar. (And, if possible, include the preferences from the whole script, plus maybe external CSS skin support.) --{{User:Y2K/sig}} 04:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

::So It's just me. That's good to know. I poked around in the system, and determined an update to flashblock borked it. I normally don't unblock flash (even for homestarrunner.com).

== Not working in nightly build =( ==

In the nightly build of Firefox (Dubbed Minefield), the script has limited functionality.
The subtitle language selector doesn't work, as there are no options. I will try to clean up to make it work..right.

[[User:Onekopaka|onekopaka]] 02:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
:By design, if subtitles are turned off, the script doesn't contact the wiki at all. When you turn the subtitles on, it tries to download the [[Subtitles:Languages|list of supported languages]] then. The list is empty until that finishes (I suppose I should put a "Loading..." message in there...). So wait a bit, see if it turns up. Failing that, it is a nightly build after all, you should expect some things to be broken... the name "Minefield" isn't just for show... chances are, it's a problem with either <code>GM_xmlhttpRequest</code> or <code>DOMParser</code>... and if so, then it's either a Firefox issue or a GreaseMonkey issue, and there's little I can do about it. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

== Just a question... ==

Are you ever going to put this in the [http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScriptsSpecific#head-afce957a390e4b53ef2a03b41fd1b4c04a5f926b Greasemonkey Script Repository?] Just wondering... --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
:Actually, that's the old Greasemonkey script place thing. The new one is at [http://www.userscripts.org/ userscripts.org]. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

== not working ==

i installed greasemonkey but there isnt anything under tools. you do mean tools that is above the adress bar, right? {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 22:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Tablet stuff ==

Hey, this is a really neat script. Anyway, I use a tablet computer, and I've noticed that, when viewing a toon in portrait (tall) mode, the toon will cover up the top two buttons ("settings" and "wiki") if the script is set to scale the toon to full size. This is, I imagine, because the script expects the screen to be wider than it is tall, as most computer screens are... so when that is not the case, the toon sticks around the top of the page and covers up those key buttons. This doesn't happen in normal, "landscape" mode because the toon is horizontally centered across a wide screen. If the toon were vertically centered as well, or at least nudged sixteen pixels downward when on a tall screen, those buttons and their inherent usefulness would be unveiled for all. ("Landscape" mode is, of course, the better option for viewing Homestar Runner, but I think this would be a pretty good fix nonetheless.)

There are some other things: in Firefox 3.0 beta 4, the seek bar extends too far to the right, visually (covering up the buttons to its right), and does not seem to work for changing your place in the toon. Also, the script never seems to be able to load subtitles, perpetually leaving "loading" in place of subtitle options in the pulldown menu. Oh, and the "settings" bar has most of its scrollbar obscured by the toon, oddly, though it still works.

I hope this helps in working out any kinks. If nobody else can reproduce these errors, I can provide more details. Anyway, thanks![[User:24.22.64.228|24.22.64.228]] 05:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

== 30 Frames fix? ==

For some reason, with the SBCG4AP "ad," the seek bar doesn't work at all. It counts the frame, but all the buttons (besides the zoom) doesn't work. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:This has nothing to do with the high framerate (which is 24 anyway, not 30), and everything to do with the fact that the HTML file is on homestarrunner.com, but the flash file is on Telltale's servers... Flash's security gets in the way, and there's nothing that can be done about it. Best I can do is make it so that the seekbar is disabled on that toon (or, at least, make it more obvious that it's informative only, and you can't use it to control the playback). Which I'm working on. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3.2.3 broken in FF 2? ==

I can't get the subtitles if I upgrade to 3.2.3. I'm using FF 2. I see that it was changed for tweaks for Firefox 3...did you notice that it breaks it in FF 2? I don't think a version that breaks it in the current version of Firefox should be released to the update. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 16:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
:Oops... I didn't think to regression-test the changes in Fx 2... yeah, that doesn't work. The deal is that, in an earlier version of GreaseMonkey, DOMParser wasn't available for GM scripts to use... and you had to use some workaround to get at it. That workaround didn't work in Fx 3, but the site I got it from listed another option that did. Turns out that other option doesn't work in Fx 2. It also turns out that the workaround isn't necessary at all any more. It's gone now, and the script works in both Fx 2 and 3 (it should auto-update again in the next day or so). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks, it works now. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 14:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== Trouble dragging in FF3 ==

If you try to drag the seek bar, but are already moving the mouse when you start dragging (move it faster if it doesn't do it for you), it messes up. By messes up, I mean it flashes the cursor between a circular crossout symbol and the normal cursor as you hold it down (still moving the movie as you move), then when you release, it keeps following your mouse until you click on it again. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 20:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
:Huh. That's... bizzare. I get a similar thing, but instead of the cursor-flashing thing you're saying, it actually starts dragging around a slightly-shrunk picture of the seekbar, and sometimes some of the surrounding buttons. I'll look into it (which I guess means I'll need to figure out how the drag-and-drop stuff in the seekbar actually works, since I didn't write that... that'll be "fun"). In the meantime: Don't do that. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
::"In the meantime: Don't do that." lol yeah...It's just that I do it accidentally pretty often now, and it's annoying. I'll try to avoid it in the meantime, though. Thanks for looking into it. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 14:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
:::OK, this is fixed, I think. I never found a way to reproduce it reliably, but I think I could get it about one try in 3 or 4... and I tried about 20 times now, and I can't get it to happen... let me know if it still happens for you. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Plain HTML Rando Not Working in FF3? ==

I am finding if I used the plain HTML navbar with the script, it is not working and I get a dialog box saying "rando.xml has not loaded yet. Be Patient." from homestarrunner.com. Is this an issue with the official site, or did something in FF3 break it?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 22:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
:It works for me, but shows the wrong URL when I roll over it. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 16:52, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
::The wrong-URL thing should be fixed now. Things were happening in the wrong order... the tooltip and the page it would send you to if you clicked matched, but the URL in the status bar was from the previous selection... I tweaked the timing a bit, so this doesn't happen any more. I couldn't reproduce the infinite "has not loaded yet" thing... try clicking the "Clear Subtitles Cache" button in the preferences screen... the same button will clear the rando.xml cache, forcing it to really try again to download it from the server. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Subtitles broken ==

I'm on Firefox 3, with Adblock Plus (disabled on h*r.com and hrwiki.org), and the subtitles don't appear. I check "Show subtitles" in the options, and a list of languages appears, but when I go to anything that has subtitles - I tested it on [[Play Date]] - I get a "loading subtitles" message which disappears after a second or so. Other features like the seek bar work fine. Thanks in advance, [[Special:Contributions/24.250.112.127|24.250.112.127]] 23:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::I found that disabling AdBlock Plus for homestarrunner sites worked for me. --Rovlad.

I was about to report a problem with this, but I forgot about having to disable Adblock to get the subtitles working, even on the latest build. I'm installing Firefox in Ubuntu, and I though the crappy flash plugin was the problem.

Anyways, you may want to make this advice more prominent, in some sort of FAQ. (If you have already, well, I couldn't find it.)

== How'd you get the icon data? ==

I noticed that your icons are embedded in the script as base64 data. If you used an encoder program, which one was it? --{{User:Y2K/sig}} 00:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:It's pretty simple... just convert the picture to PNG (I use The GIMP for that... any web-friendly image format will work, but PNG is best), then [[Wikipedia:Base64|Base64]]-ify the PNG file (I just use the tool in [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/coreutils coreutils]), and tack "<code>data:image/png;base64,</code>" on the start, then use the string as the URL for the image.

How do I get a screen capture in Ubuntu Linux? --[[User:O98-111-114-113|Blow Up the Ocean]] 20:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:This may vary (it's been a while since I used Gnome), but I believe that alt-Print Screen grabs the focused window, and Print Screen by itself grabs the entire desktop. It will either prompt you for a filename to save it as, or just save it automatically on your Desktop. It will be in PNG format, which is probably want you want. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 21:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

== Test subtitles script and back button ==

I do a lot of subtitle work (the AIO makes it about a million times easier/possible, BTW :) ) and so I often use the "Test subtitles script" feature to preview my scripts before I save 'em. The problem is that I usually forget to uncheck the box, so when I go to another toon, it displays the wrong subtitles. Not a big deal, of course, as I can go into the options and uncheck the box, but it's an annoyance. It'd be nice if it automatically unchecks the box. Possibly make it uncheck when you load a different toon. 
Also, if you have outside-the-frame action enabled and press the back/forward button (in the browser, not the next/previous button) to go to a page, it loads it full-screen instead of showing outside-the-frame action. 
Oh and BTW I just noticed there's a feature to zoom in/out of the toon when it's full screened, but not when it shows outside-the-frame action. Can you add that feature in outside-the-frame mode, too?
--[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 16:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
:The "Test subtitles script" option needs some serious rework anyway... I'd like the "Refresh subtitles" button to Just Work, rather than the sort of inconsistent mess it is now. Being able to give test subtitles for just one specific toon is a good idea... I'll add it to the list of things to do when I get around to doing that.
:The back/forward buttons and outside-the-frame: I hadn't noticed that... I'll look into it. Does everything else work with back/forward?
:As for the zoom buttons and outside-the-frame, if you use the Zoom things in Flash, then it stops doing the outside-the-frame thing... you can't zoom out further than how it behaves when you view the SWF alone (ie: either the height or width matches the height or width of your window, whichever is smaller)... and there's no way to go back to the outside-the-frame mode except by resetting it to the usual outside-the-frame size. I couldn't find any way around this... so I just got rid of the zoom buttons when that option's turned on. If you happen to know of a workaround, I'd love to hear it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
::Ok, cool. I don't mean that I really care to see toon-specific subs that are remembered with different pages, in case that's what you thought. I just want it to be cleared when I go to a page besides the one being tested.
::I haven't noticed anything else wrong with back/forward. I've noticed that when a page loads normally, it's momentarily enlarged to full screen before it's changed to show outside-the-frame, but that when you do back/forward it doesn't change. Perhaps it's something with how FF tells scripts that the page has loaded when it comes in from memory (since it was in recent history) instead of loading for the first time. I should probably also note that when it's zoomed out after going back/forward, I can still see outside-the-frame action, but of course since it's already full-screen, I only see it on the edges (instead of being like the normal full screen mode that puts black on the sides, this allows vision on the sides).
::Do you think you could make it so if it's already at the max zoom out level, instead of just trying to tell the SWF to zoom out more (unsuccessfully), make it refresh as outside-the-frame in some way so it goes back out? Of course, that would preferably be without ''actually'' refreshing the page, so your place isn't lost like when you save a setting. This could eliminate the need for an outside-the-frame option, since if you want to zoom out when it's already all the way out, it goes to outside-the-frame, while zooming in while viewing outside-the-frame would go to full screen.
::I just got an idea to fix the issue that when you save settings it refreshes the page (more of a workaround really, something that does it without refreshing at all would be better). Let it refresh, but first remember the frame you're at and the pause/unpause status (is there anything else that would be needed to make it seem the same?) and set it to that once it refreshes. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 01:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks and feature suggestion ==

Hey! Thanks for making this script! It really makes watching H*R much easier (and better)!
 I would like to suggest a feature - it would be great to have an automatic 'next' feature to play through a whole series (like SBemail) or to play random through the whole site. This way we could watch sequential H*R without being near a mouse. (I don't know if this would infringe on the value of the SBemail DVDs) -[[User:Dutchscout|Dutchscout]] 05:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Page-Overwrite? ==

It's been on my mind lately; would it be possible to get the script to overwrite the loaded Flash file on a page, or just replace the content of a page without creating security issues with Flash? In some cases, it could be helpful, as with being able to run subtitles on certain Puppet Stuff toons that don't have their own HTML page, like [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]]. We could use [[HR:default.html|default.html]] as a "dummy page", and using a URL referrer of "<code>overwrite=whateverflashhere.swf</code>" (which would be picked up by the script, not the page), would overwrite the page with your usual Homestar Runner toon-viewing code, with the Flash file in place of the usual "toon placeholder" itself? (I hope that made sense) --[[Special:Contributions/70.253.165.204|70.253.165.204]] 00:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

== subtitles stopped working ==

I just noticed it today. I used it and it worked fine the other day. It seems that the script isn't finding the list of languages at [[Subtitles:Languages]] (the Subtitles Language select box doesn't have any entries). I do have AdBlock Plus but disabled it temporarily with no change. I'm using Firefox 3.0.11 with Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1 and the newest All-in-one script from [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey]] (3.2.7). Perhaps it's related to "We will be making adjustments to the server throughout the evening, including upgrading to MediaWiki 1.15."? See also [[HRWiki_talk:Subtitles#Subitles_Not_Working?]] --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 03:11, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
:It's related to the [[HRWiki:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15|new upgrade]] and the move to the /wiki/ URLs... it should be fixed now. The script should automatically prompt you to update it sometime in the next day or so, or you can just hit the install link on [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|the script page]] to do it yourself. If you're still not getting subtitles, it could be because you hit the "Save" or "Clear cache" buttons in the config panel while the subtitles were broken... in that case, just open up the config panel, make sure that the "language" option is set, and hit save. That should bring them back. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

::I got it. I had to reinstall Greasemonkey, then update it, then reinstall the HR script.

== Some code for a more streamlined "Hide" ability ==

This is one way that crossed my mind. You'd have to replace the two lines in transcriptLoaded:

<pre>line.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(line);</pre>

With this:

<pre>var hideEnds = true;
for (var j = lines[i].firstChild; j; j = j.nextSibling)
{
// Looks for a "hide" element, and divides the line into two if one is found.
if(j.nodeType == j.ELEMENT_NODE && j.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "hide" && hideEnds)
{
// If no frame number is specified, make the last frame of hiding really big, so it never stops hiding
var hideUntil = 100000;
if(j.hasAttribute("frame"))
{
hideUntil = parseInt(j.getAttribute("frame"), 10);
if(isNaN(hideUntil) && settings.TestSubs)
transcriptError("Hide frame \"" + j.getAttribute("frame") + "\" is not a number");
}
if(hideUntil < line.start && settings.TestSubs)
{
transcriptError("Hide frame \"" + j.getAttribute("frame") + "\" is too early");
}
var firstLine = line;
if(hideuntil < line.end)
{
firstLine.end = hideuntil;
}
else
{
hideEnds = false;
}
j.setNodeName("span");
j.setAttribute("visibility", "hidden");
firstLine.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(firstLine);
j.setAttribute("visibility", "visible");
line.start = hideuntil;
}
}
if(hideEnds)
{
line.text = importNodes(lines[i]);
transcript.push(line);
}</pre>

I'm kinda shaky on the programming language and its nuances, though. Especially "setNodeName", or whether "span" would work without a "/span" (or if adding a "/span" is possible). Also, it's very possible I made a mistake.

If it works, though, it should allow you to add <hide frame="123" /> and it would hide everything after it on a line until frame 123. You wouldn't have to put in multiple lines that way. Even a <hide/> tag should just simply hide everything else on the line, period (unless the toon becomes 100000+ frames in length AND the line comes after that point, but that hasn't happened yet and probably will never.)

Thoughts? Fixes? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

: PS. Another useful addition would be the ability to write overlapping lines separately and have them all display. Would be useful for when characters semi-interrupt or speak over one another. [[Crystal Fortress]]'s subs were a pain to write without this feature. I don't have code for it, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::Also for sound effects that are shorter than the dialogue, etc. Perhaps though it should be a different element called "<nowiki><overlap></nowiki>" with the same syntax as line, just to keep the error checking for people who don't intend to overlap lines. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:::That <hide> tag sounds like a good idea, that's definitely going on my todo list. Maybe not the way you describe, though... rather than just having the empty tag hide everything from here to the end of the line, have something like "<code>first part <hide frame="100">second part</hide></code>"... it'd make more sense, I think, and be easier to code up. Maybe it should have <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> attributes instead, so things can disappear instead of appearing? Optional, of course, so you can have just a <code>start</code> and no <code>end</code>, and have it behave like you describe.
:::As for overlapping lines, it's something that I've considered before, but never really looked into, as it could be kinda tricky. In particular, arranging the lines... if you have two lines at once, and the first one ends, you want the second one to stay on the second line, with a gap above it (it could move upwards, but that'd be confusing)... and then, if a third line starts, it'd make sense to put it in the gap above the second line... but it may not fit, if it's a long line that word-wraps, or has the <code>volume</code> attribute turned up, or something. So there's an optimisation problem there to arrange all the lines without it being so tall that it runs out of space. But I may be overthinking it here, and a greedy heuristic is probably enough. I'll try it, and see what happens.
:::But don't hold your breath for either of these... I can't guarantee how long they'll take to write... what with the full-time work and all, I'm often not in the mood for programming outside work... but we'll see. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:58, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::::We could create a <code>lineindex</code> attribute to fix that problem. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 14:21, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::Not really... maybe if every line was exactly the same height, it'd work, but that's not necessarily the case, with <code>volume</code> and word-wrap. Indeed, with word-wrap, the same line could be different heights on different computers, even with the same subtitles script. Much better to have a dynamic solution. It'd be less work for the transcribers that way anyway, which is kinda the point of this whole thing. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

== Midori Web Browser ==

You probably don't use linux but, your script does not work with midori's built in userscript engine. I want it to work with midori but do not know why it isn't working. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
:The script uses a bunch of GreaseMonkey-specific features, for things like saving the preferences or loading subtitles from the wiki. From [http://wiki.xfce.org/midori_faq#user_scripts what I can tell], Midori doesn't support any of those (note the part that says "Midori also does not support greasemonkey's api"). I looked into it briefly before, when I was considering supporting Opera... but without those features, it would be a lot of work.

::* Has the seek bar
::But I guess it's still not possible. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
:::Like I said, it would be a heck of a lot of work to retrofit the script to not depend on Greasemonkey. That includes stripping out the script so that only some features are available - all the different features are pretty interconnected at the moment, it's hard to remove just one of them. It's my long-term plan to clean up the script and make it simpler to manage, but that's been my long-term plan since before the subtitles thing started 3 years ago, and I still haven't even started, so don't hold your breath. And anyway, that "check if the next toon exists" thing is one of the things that depends on the GM API, so even if I could quickly strip down the features, I couldn't do that one easily.
:::However! You might have some luck with the original scripts that the all-in-one script was based on. I suspect that the [http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/633 Homestar Full-on] ''could'' work in other browsers that have userscript features... I haven't tried it, but it looks like it could work (it doesn't depend on GreaseMonkey, but it might implicitly depend on Firefox, that's harder to tell just by looking at the script). The [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar] bookmarklet might work, it might not. Try it and see.

== Chrome Now Can Install... but... ==

You need to install [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5166 from here] instead. Unfortunately, even though Chrome has the greasemonkey APIs, your extension, Philip, doesn't work. the only portion that DOES work is the flyout settings menu when looking at a homestarrunner.com page. None of the settings can actually be saved. You need a git or development version of chrome to be able to install the script I believe, and that's easily done on ubuntu using the chromium daily ppa from launchpad. However, as said by [http://blog.chromium.org/2010/02/40000-more-extensions.html this blog] about the new feature, you will most likely have to edit your script so it works with chrome. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, I know, both Chrome and Opera and a couple of other browsers have user script engines, but most of them don't have the power necessary to run this script (neither Opera nor Chrome for instance allow cross-site AJAX requests, which are required for subtitles, rando and check-for-updates) and even the features they do have, you need to use in a different way (eg Opera doesn't have the GM_* functions, so I'd need to re-write all the preference-saving and AJAX code using other APIs). This doesn't make it ''impossible'' to make a script this complicated that will work in all these browsers... but it means it'd be a ''lot'' of work to retrofit an existing script to work.
:tl;dr: Only Firefox is supported for the foreseeable future. Like I [[#Midori_Web_Browser|said to you before]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Eating Up CPU ==

Just to warn people who have non-HT Single Core Processors (true single-cores, meaning no logical cores.) I have a 1.60 GHz true single-core processor (atoms are not true single-cores), and adding this to homestarrunner.com shoots up CPU usage to 100% on idle. Unfocusing the tab in which the script is active will bring down the CPU. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 01:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:Huh, it doesn't do that for me... my computer isn't single-core, but using this script doesn't cause my usage to shoot up to a single core being fully used. It does increase the usage a bit, but not drastically... the main culprits being (a) View fullscreen - obviously, if Flash has to render a larger area, it's going to take more processing time; and (b) Seek bar/subtitles... these too mean asking the Flash object a bunch what frame it's up to... which means a lot more context switching between the browser and the plugin, and all the wrappers and whatnot that needs... which is either the fault of Flash or the plugin architecture, I'm not sure which. Anyways - if you try turning those options off, it should help with your CPU problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
::I've turned off fullscreen thing, nothing changed; I don't want to turn off subtitles, but I turned off the seek bar, it took up half my CPU alone. I really like the subtitles project, so I don't want that to go away. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

== Firefox 4.0 & JaegerMonkey ==

With [http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20004620-264.html Firefox 4.0] coming this year (or so it seems), they plan to implement "JaegerMonkey," a javaScript engine that rivals Safari's and Chrome's. The suffix -Monkey, sounds like it'll probably be replacing Greasemonkey or even forcing greasemonkey users to recompile their scripts all together. What do you plan to do if this happens? Keeping in mind that Firefox is the ONLY browser that works with your script, no other does. —[[User:ColdReactive|ColdReactive]] 16:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
:I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I don't see anything to suggest JägerMonkey is going to supersede GreaseMonkey (it's more likely it got the -Monkey suffix from [[Wikipedia:SpiderMonkey (JavaScript engine)|SpiderMonkey]]). So I don't expect the changes to be that drastic (there's probably going to be new features the script could potentially use, but little in the way of old features disappearing). Also: yes, I get the fact that there's a couple of dozen browsers you've asked me to port the script to... I've made it clear that isn't going to happen. Being snarky isn't going to change that. Note the big GPL header at the top of the script - if you want it to work in Opera or Chrome or Midori or whateverthecrap other browser you're using this week, you're welcome to try to figure it out yourself. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

== Resizing option for recent toons ==

Hey, Phlip. The largest monitor I have is reasonably sized and yet can't show all of past two toons at their HTML'd resolution (at least in Firefox). I admire the screen-resizing option, but with an old laptop that can only do 1024×768 that struggles enough with Flash (The one I'm using right now, in fact. It runs Linux), I'd rather not have toons in the usual 550×400 resolution being scaled. Could there be an option so that users can downsize toons to their native resolution? After all, the newer toons were made in the usual 550×400, I've heard. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:20, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, could there be an option to set our preferred vertical resolution? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

== Firefox 4 zoom ==

I just noted that when I do the normal resize thing by holding down CTRL and using the scroll wheel in firefox 4, the homestar runner flash objects all are resized as well. Is this new to Firefox 4? Or was it already introduced into 3.6.x? I swear I wasn't able to do this previously. This probably should go somewhere else, but since I only really wanted the resize portion in this script, I may just forgo keeping greasemonkey. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 20:18, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
:It works as you describe in at least 3.6.13. Maybe you had "Zoom Text Only" checked. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

== "Do not play on load" option ==

I have another feature request, but it's more of a convenience than anything. Could we have the option to have the Flash paused on page load, instead of having it automatically play? This would help someone when they restore a browser session that has multiple tabs/windows on homestarrunner.com. In my case, I find myself going to a toon, and then adjusting my settings a few times to get it just right (or, in recent cases of one of my Linux machines, getting the Flash player to appear). The bad thing is that, after doing that, the very beginning of the toon is unpleasantly seared into my brain, after hearing it several times on several occasions. Please and thanks, {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig|nodash=nodash}} 19:53, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:Someone has told me about the Firefox extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bartab/ BarTab] for Firefox versions 4.0b6 and below, which doesn't automatically load tabs when a browser session is restored. Then I learned that Firefox 4 through 7 have had an option like this available as a hidden option; in Firefox 8 it will be available through the Preferences window. I guess my request is no more, seeing as I have other options. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 20:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
::Hahaha, what timing. Firefox 8 is out three days later. I did not see that coming. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 22:33, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

== Flipper broken ==

The flipper function (that turns the website upside down) is broken. Can you please either remove the function or mirror the flipper SWF on mrphlip.com? {{User:Dagoth/sig}} (I mean that it shows a 404'd error in place of the flipped page)
: I'll have a bit of a look, but I'm not sure it'd work to mirror the SWF... Flash tends to get tetchy about that sort of cross-domain nonsense. Anyway, I haven't really touched this script in some time, and unless the hiatus ends, I probably won't any time soon... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:48, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
:: Yeah, doesn't work. I've disabled the flipper in the script... I didn't bother to set the "updated" flag, though, so it won't get sent out through the update notification thing... no need to alert people to have to pick this up just because a feature's getting removed. If you feel the need to have the non-working option disappear from your options, though, you can just click the "install the script" link on the page here. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

== Chromified All-In-One Prototype ==
Update: It's highly recommended to either use the CRX, or the original script with Tampermonkey, like DeFender mentioned. I might add this to the Chrome App Store, but I'd like to make sure it's mostly bug-free, first.
Downlods:
* Chrome CRX (adds button to toolbar instead of in-window): http://cl.ly/QlpQ/HRAIO.crx
* Chrome CRX source: http://cl.ly/Qlse/HRAIO.zip
* Tampermonkey: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en
<del>I modified the userscript to work with Chrome (I have version 28.0.1500.95). It's a bit of a hack, but hey-- it works for the most part!
I tested the basics, if anyone wants to test it, download it here: http://cl.ly/QkAX/allinone.user.js</del>
To install:
1. Download the file (it'll likely complain that you can only use the Chrome App Store, ignore it because it's downloaded anyway)
2. Go to your Downloads folder and find HRAIO.crx
3. Open the URL chrome://extensions in Chrome and drag and drop the HRAIO.crx into that window.
4. Click Accept/OK/Sure/whatever it says when it asks about security to install it.

edit by Gh0st

yes it works kindof navigation bar works, however subtitles do not when enabled do you want to possibly contact me to work on this script gh0sti at me dot com
:Phlip's original script works (almost) perfectly fine with [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en tampermonkey] installed. (The almost is that the "back one frame" button has the | and the < on separate lines, making it look slightly wrong. Other than that, it's perfect.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
::I wasn't even aware that was a thing, honestly! If anything, I'm just going to keep working on this in case people don't want to download another extension for whatever reason. Also because I find it fun, cough cough. The "|<" is a problem even without tampermonkey, so it must be a Chrome thing. I'll start to look into that, even if just because of cosmetic reasons. Also, gh0st, what's the problem with the navbar/subtitles? I've got this just fine: [http://cl.ly/image/0j361g3C1x2n/i.png screenshot] [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 20:54, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
:::Hmm... try this:<pre>prevButton.style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";</pre>should fix the wrapping, though I haven't tested it. As for the subtitles, it looks like you're still using GM_xmlHttpRequest to fetch those, so presumably you have something set up that lets you do that... I doubt Chrome has that builtin (and what it does have builtin wouldn't let you make a replacement, since it's cross-site and all). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:09, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
:::: That bit of code worked out! Although, I'm kinda confused on why Chrome would decide to wrap a button. With the subtitles, I honestly don't know what in my version of Chrome is making it work. Even with only the All-in-one extension added, it works. I tried looking it up and it seems to be implied that it was broken on version 27, but it works on 28 (which is odd in the first place because GM_ is GreaseMonkey, not Chrome), as referenced by [https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=242890 this issue in the bugtracker]. [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 14:58, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

what if you made it a plugin in the chrome store possibly easier to update?? and philip are you back to help code it to work again?
:I decided to work on this one and came up with this buggy little .crx in the first post. <del>It's got some problems with the scaling that I couldn't figure out (if anyone could help, that'd be great; I just have to wait for tomorrow to upload the source)</del> I think I got it figured out; at least it's scrolling. I'm much better with making my own code than editing that of others', so I wouldn't be surprised if I made a mess out of it. But hey, now the button's in the Chrome toolbar!

@Gh0sti : Subtitles still do not work on the latest version you have put up, everything else seems to be working

:::Other than the seek bar not turning off, this works pretty good. --[[User:Mr nutt|mr_nutt]] 12:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
::::Just looked into this and you're right; localStorage doesn't cross between site to extension, meaning all settings are stored somewhere they can't be accessed. I'll try to figure out a fix for this as soon as possible. [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 17:49, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

@Gh0sti: so how goes the updating of the plugin for chrome the subtitles still doesnt work and also looks like chrome wont let you install extensions unless its from the chrome store 12/1/2013

Unfortunately, this project seems dead. A real shame too since it was mostly working at one point. Though mind you, they might be struggling to get it in the Chrome Store for all I know. --[[User:Mr nutt|mr_nutt]] 22:38, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
:I said it above and i'll say it again. The original script works almost perfectly in [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en tampermonkey]. Just use that and stop complaining. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
With the new version 4.0 release, there is now a [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/homestar-all-in-one/ekecfcebbojjfaiendgjgcadampmppdb fully Chrome-compatible version of this script]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 21:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

== Chrome plugin ==

I really like how simple the plugin is now, but I notice the frame counter is gone. That was really useful for finding hidden sections of the video, as well as a way to tell someone what frame to start on to see or hear a specific moment. If that can be added back in, that would be fantastic. [[User:Homestar3.14|Homestar3.14]] 23:41, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

''{Fade from black into Strong Bad sitting in a chair with a book in his right knee, as music plays in the background. The golden text "Strong Bad Classics" fills the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' And now, Strong Bad-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' -Butchers the-

''{the words "butchers the" appears between "Strong Bad" and "Classics", displacing the latter two pieces of text slightly.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' -Classics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears his throat}'' An uppity welcome, and distinguished ''hello'' to you all. Today, I will be butchering one of Strong Sad's ''{Cut to a close shot of the book on the wooden table. On the front cover, is a faint picture of the Ocelot's head}'' all-time favorites.

''{The book opens to a sad Porridge Maiden holding an Ocelot in her hands}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Ocelot and The ''Porridge Maiden''? The crap's a porridge maiden? ''{The Porridge Maiden is now holding a mirror with question marks next to her head and a speech bubble reading "what am i?!}''

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden kneeling over her black pot on a fire, stirring it with a wooden stick with her cottage in the background. The original text reads "Once there was a Porridge Maiden who lived in a meadow."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once, there was a Horrid Maiden ''{A puddle is added around the Porridge Maiden's legs, an eye and sharp teeth are added to her face, there are two extra arms extruding from her back, and there are horns drawn on top of her head.}'' who lived in meadowlark Lemon's duffel bag from the 70's. ''{There is a duffel bag drawn over the cottage in the background, there is a leaking tube of "sportz creamz" in the background in front of the duffel bag, and [[Wikipedia:Meadowlark Lemon|Mealowlark Lemon]]'s head appears in the bottom right corner, later giving a thumbs up}''

''{The page turns to a grinning Porridge Maiden with an surprised Ocelot in her hand. The original text reads "One day, she caught an ocelot for to sup."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "i hate mondays', thought an ocelot. ''{The Ocelot is stylized to appear similar to Garfield}'' "sup. jim davis' lawyers." ''{Three men appear behind the Porridge Maiden, bearing a very similar resemblence to Lyman, with the word "LAW" written on their shirts.}''

''{The page turns to a close up of the Ocelot's face. The original text is ""Good morrow to you," said the ocelot. "You must find a husband by sunrise or doom will come to you."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Rob morrow to you," ''{A badly drawn [[Wikipedia:Rob Morrow|Rob Morrow]] is drawn in the bottom left corner, smiling}'' said the ocelot. "You must find a husband by sunrise or doom 2 bad guys will come out of my ears! ''{A Mancubus, a Hell Knight/Baron, and a Lost Soul are drawn coming out of the Ocelot's ears}''

''{Strong Bad starts mimicking gun and explosion noises}''

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden looking at the Butcher. The original text reads "She went to see the Butcher. "Will you marry me?" she asked; "I am married to the meats," he said."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, she went to see the Statue of Liberty's deadbeat cousin. ''{The Butcher is now holding a torch, the Statue of Liberty's crown, and the [[Wikipedia:Tabula ansata|tabula ansata]]}'' "Will you marry me?" she asked. "I am a huddled mass," he said.

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden looking at the Smithy. The original text reads "Next, she went to see the Smithy. "Will you marry me?" she asked. "I am married to the steel," he said."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next, she optic-blasted the Smithybot. ''{The Smithy, his table, and anvil are all stylized to look like robots. Lasers come out of the Porridge Maiden's eyes as it reflects off of the Smithybot's hammer. }'' "Voip" ''{VOiP! is drawn next to the Porridge Maiden's lasers}'' she voiped. "Save yourself little Beep Boop!" he said.

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden climbing up the top of a cottage to a chimney, where the Lum Swooper is in with a sweeper in his hand. The original text reads "Then she went to see the Lum Swooper. "Will you marry me?" she asked. "I am married to the chimneys," he said."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, she tucked in the Lum Swooper. ''{A bed is drawn around the Lum Swooper}'' "Will you please stop sleeping with that lamp?" ''{The sweeper has a lamp shade, lightbulb, and switch drawn onto it}'' she asked. "it's okay, I am married to it." he said.

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden looking at the Knave. The original text reads "She even went to see the Knave. "Will you marry me?" she asked. "I am married to the chicanery," he said."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' She even went to the Creepo Depot. ''{A sign is drawn on the right wall with the text "CREEPO DEPOT!" as there are lights around it that flash}'' "Will you marry me?" ''{There are lines drawn around the Porridge Maiden's creases on her clothes, making it seem that she is made of flat shapes}'' asked. low poly-count porridge maiden. ''{Strings are drawn on the Knave's head, right hand, feet, and left shoulder, all going up}'' "I am a marionette" he slimed.

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden sitting on a rock in the meadow, looking at the pink sunrise and two clouds in the distance. The original text reads "When she could not find a husband, the Porridge Maiden sat on a rock to watch the rising sun."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' When she could not find a husband, the Porridge Maiden sat by a punk rock giant ''{The sun is now stylized to look like a spiky-haired giant with a nose on the horizon and hands protruding from the horizon holding the two clouds}'' to watch ''{An electric guitar is put in the hands of the punk rock giant, with the words "fendo" written on the top}'' the wicked solos. ''{Makes electric guitar sounds as the Porridge Maiden throws a [[Wikipedia:Corna|corna gesture]]}''

''{The page turns to the Porridge Maiden off-page with only her arm and hand to the left. The Ocelot is standing near. The original text reads "At dawn, the ocelot found her dead and mourned her passing. "Now she is married to death," said the Ocelot"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At dawn, the ocelot found her head ''{The Porridge Maiden's smiling, decapitated head is placed onto the back of the Ocelot, along with her hood}'' and poured her a drink. ''{A glass mug is placed into the hand of the dead Porridge Maiden and an extra arm is behind the Ocelot, holding a tall glass bottle, and pouring the drink into the glass mug. A speech bubble is added for the Ocelot, reading "One for my pah' tnuh!"}'' One for my pah'tnuh!, said the Ocelot.

''{The page turns to The Porridge Maiden holding flowers, upset, while [[Grim Reaper|Death]] puts his hand on her shoulder, holding a scythe and having a red glow around him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the underworld, ''{Eyes and two nostrils are drawn on the top of the opening, with two hands holding a mouth mirror and dental explorer.}'' she refused to be defined by her famous husband and started a successful business knitting lifehacks out of recycled blogs.

''{The page turns to a baked Ocelot on a plate in the middle of a table with an apple in its mouth and vegetables under it. There is a knife and fork, a pot, and a salt shaker near it. The original text reads "And that is why baked ocelot is always served at weddings. The End."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that is why baked ocelot is always ''{Trisha from "Everyone is Different" is placed onto the paper, with a bridal headpiece and squiggly lines and the words "bridal hotness".

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{drugged}'' Brooooaaached?

''{Cut to the Smoky Office with Strong Bad still in his chair with the book open. Strong Sad is standing next to him with bags under his eyes and a bloodied napkin clip around his neck. He is off-balance, swaying forwards and backwards}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{drugged}'' You can't make up no words say broached!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Strong Sad, did you have your wisdom teeth out again?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{drugged}'' You know it! Every summer like clockwoik!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-okay, let's get you out of here. ''{faces the camera}'' And in front of a camera as soon as possible. ''{Strong Bad jumps from his chair}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This toon was created in order to serve as the $500,000 stretch goal for the [http://www.worldbuilders.org/ Worldbuilders] 2014 Fundraiser.
*Impacted wisdom teeth is a common dental problem in adults. Typically the wisdom teeth must be removed via dental surgery with copious anesthesia.

===Trivia===
*Originally uploaded to Worldbuilders' YouTube channel on June 1, 2015, an extended Flash version was added to [[homestarrunner.com|the website]] and to the [[YouTube#homestarrunnerdotcom|official]] YouTube channel on September 30, 2015.

=== Remarks ===
*Despite being advertised as to be released in summer, it was technically released in late spring, as summer officially starts in North America on or around June 21st.
*The pages in this toon differ drastically from those shown in the [[Strong Bad reads "The Ocelot and the Porridge Maiden" (Teaser Trailer) - Worldbuilders 2014|teaser trailer]]:
**There is no mention of Leomardbury Chauceinterviews, who was listed as the author in the trailer.
**The edits made by Strong Bad are already on the pages in the trailer, however they are added with Strong Bad's narrating in the full cartoon.
**The illustrations on all pages are of a slightly different style.
**Strong Bad's "improved drawings" are in different places throughout.
**The first page has an additional "improvement" of "Horrid Maiden".
**The "improvements" made to the second page are completely different than in the trailer.

===Goofs===
*On the third page, there is an extra space between "day," and "she".
*On the eighth page, Strong Bad says "I am a marionette", but writes "I am marrionette", forgetting the "a" and misspelling "marionette".
*The storybook's text, and most of Strong Bad's "improvements", can be highlighted and copied.

===Fixed Goofs===
*In the Worldbuilders version, during the end fade out, Strong Bad's feet can be seen protruding from the right side of the screen in his walking animation.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad turns the Smithy and his tools into [[robots]].
*The character placed onto the last page of the book is Trisha from [[kids' book]], whom Strong Bad described as a "severe hottie".
*Strong Sad numbly paraphrases his line "You can't just start making up terrible new words" from [[fan club]].
*Strong Sad pronounces "clockwork" as "[["Er" pronounced as "Oi"|clockwoik]]".
*"Broach" is a [[portmanteau]] of two actual cooking techniques, Broil and Poach.
**"Broach" is also an actual word meaning "any of various pointed or tapered tools, implements, or parts" and, more specifically, a spit for roasting meat.
*This story is a plethora of [[odd marriages]].
*The Statue holds a tablet inscribed [[1984|MCMLXXXIV]].

===Real-World References===
*Facebroach is a reference to the social media platform [[Wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]].
*Strong Sad's performance is considered camera-worthy by Strong Bad, which is likely a reference to the viral video [[Wikipedia:David After Dentist|David After Dentist]].
*[[Wikipedia:Meadowlark Lemon|Meadowlark Lemon]] is a famous basketball player who played for the Harlem Globetrotters.
*[[Wikipedia:Rob Morrow|Rob Morrow]] is an actor most famous for his work on television, including his Golden Globe-nominated role as an Alaskan doctor on ''[[Wikipedia:Northern Exposure|Northern Exposure]]'' and his later work on the crime drama ''[[Wikipedia:Numb3rs|Numb3rs]]''.
*The Mancubus, the Hell Knight/Baron, and the Lost Soul that come out of the Ocelot's ears are enemies from ''[[Doom|Doom 2]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Statue of Liberty|The Statue of Liberty]] is a giant statue that is part of a national park located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It is made of iron and copper and was built as a gift to the United States by French sculptor Gustave Eiffel.
**The Statue's deadbeat cousin declares that he is a "huddled mass", which refers to a line in "[[Wikipedia:The New Colossus|The New Colossus]]", a poem written by Emma Lazarus that was inscribed on a plaque that was later added to the statue.
*[[Wikipedia:Jim Davis (cartoonist)|Jim Davis]] is the creator of the comic strip ''[[Wikipedia:Garfield|Garfield]]''.
**One of Garfield's most identifiable characteristics is his disdain for Mondays, which is also referenced.
**The lawyers resemble the former ''Garfield'' character [[Wikipedia:List of characters in the Garfield franchise#Lyman|Lyman]], who was Jon Arbuckle's roommate and the original owner of Jon's dog and Garfield's nemesis, Odie. Lyman was written out of the strip in 1983.

== YouTube Version ==
[[Image:Porridge_Maiden_YT_Thumbnails.png|thumb|220px|"Sounds unsavory..."]]
*The Worldbuilders version differs in the following ways:
**The video opens with a splash screen, with the Worldbuilders logo at the top, and text below reading "Worldbuilders Literary Theatre". It fades to a similar picture with the same background with Strong Bad holding a book with the title "The Ocelot and the Porridge Maiden" badly written on the back cover, and Strong Bad badly drawn on the front cover. To the left of Strong Bad, is text reading "presents...". The scene then cuts to the Smoky Office and continues from Strong Bad clearing his throat.
**The video fades out as Strong Bad pushes Strong Sad off-screen, and fades in to a message reading "Thanks to [[The Brothers Chaps|the Chapman brothers]] and all our supporters who helped us reach our stretch goal! Check out our current fundraiser! (Link the the description)". In the corner, the scene with the punk rock giant plays silently.
**Strong Bad does not do an electric guitar impression. Instead, the Porridge Maiden throws a corna as Strong Bad talks.
**The [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails]] and Easter egg do not play.
*As with previous YouTube videos, a group of nine thumbnails appears at the end of the cartoon, parodying YouTube's related video thumbnails. All of the thumbnails are new, and their contents are as follows:

{| {{standardtable}}
|-
| [[Shark Tooth Bubs]] dressed as [[The Thnikkaman]] standing in front the [[old man]] in [[Peasant's Quest]]. || A [[Powered by The Cheat]] drawing displaying the words "Powdered by The Cheat" and a bottle of "talc". || Multiple light brown, red, blue and white diagonal stripes. Text above reads "More Cool Stripes w/ [[The Poopsmith]]."
|-
| An arrangement of multiple [[Marzipan]]s, woolen hats from [[A Death Defying Decemberween]] and [[Telebision]] remotes, reminiscent of [[Happy Dethemberween]]. || A small [[Homsar]] hovering over the [[Compé]]'s keyboard on Strong Bad's desk. Homsar is leaving a bouncy, dashed white line behind him, à la [[Where U Goin' 2?]]. || A photograph of a CRT television displaying a single green pixel with the caption "GOOD GRAPHICS". The [[Videlectrix Guys]] appear in the lower-left corner, along with the caption "Joystick Wagglin' with [[Videlectrix]]."
|-
| An extreme close-up of Strong Bad's face with the words "TOO CLOSE" written at the bottom. || [[Puppet Homestar]] and [[Mike Chapman]] sitting in front of a curtain with a cup of [[coffee]]. The caption reads "COFFEE TWON  WITH HOMESTAR + MIKE, episode 16". The entire picture is color-negative. || F-Sack from [[Flash is Dead!]] cast against a white background, captioned "6 hours of F-Sack".
|}

* After the thumbnails, the Easter egg with Strong Sad plays automatically. The dialogue, however, is slightly altered.
*:''{cut to a video recording of Strong Sad, showing interlacing and "REC" in the corner.}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen, as he is holding the camera}'' Now, what was it you were saying out loud again, Strong Sad?

BassBone: /* What's a Dixieland? */

[[Image:Fisheye_YT_Thumnails.jpg|thumb]]
This screenshot from the YouTube version has a bunch of fake thumbnails with scenes from non-existent toons on it.
--[[User:Kaze|Kaze]] 11:22, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

== Fisheye, fish eye ==

The title of the song is "Fish Eye Lens" (open), but the proper term is "fisheye lens" (closed). At first I thought it would be better to spell references to the actual lens open like the title, but when I put the link in to [[Wikipedia:fisheye lens|fisheye lens]], it became apparent that it would probably be better just to spell it correctly in our articles and fun facts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:22, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

== I ___ a fisheye lens ==

: ''I ___ a fisheye lens / And make a rap video with a couple of friends''

I originally transcribed it "I ''want'' a fisheye lens". An anonny just changed it to "bought". I can kind of hear it, but not really. Or maybe I can hear "brought" (with an "r"). Also, I'm not convinced it's "And" to start the second line. What say you? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
:I hear it as "bought". I also hear the "And" in there, too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
::I definitely think "bought" is correct, but I don't think "And" is there. I think the line may be "A-make a rap video with a couple of friends", possibly as in "To make a rap video". {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}}
:::I considered "A-make a rap video" when I transcribed it, but it just seemed like a stretch. "''To'' make a rap video" makes the most sense, but I think it's definitely not "to". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
::::Definitely sounds like "BROUGHT a fish-eye lens TO make a rap video..." to me. - Steven

== What's a Dixieland? ==

Maybe it's somethign that's more commonplace in America but I've got no clue what that is? Can someone add it to the explanations? [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 18:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Dixieland is a colloquial used to describe the american south, particularly before the Civil War.
[[User:MechaKingBubsGonzola|MechaKingBubsGonzola]] 3:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

*It's also a style of jazz music, sometimes referred to as Traditional or [[Wikipedia:Trad Jazz|"Trad" Jazz]].{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 20:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

== Videro ==

As noted in the inside references, Coach Z pronounces "video" as "[[Videro Games|videro]]" at least once. I definitely hear it in the second chorus. Probably the first chorus too. Try as I might, I do not hear it in the third chorus. The question is, assuming we can come to a consensus on when he says it, does it need to be noted in the transcript as well (and if so, what's the best format for that)? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:29, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
: I first noticed it when I watched the YouTube video with my headphones in the first verse, and I clearly hear it in all three (from Coach Z, not Strong Bad, of course.) I'm kinda-sorta certain that the third verse is videos/videros for whatever reason, which I notice is in the subtitles (don't ask me, I didn't do it), but the "R" I'm confident on. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
:: Hmm, I can kind of hear "videos" on the third one, too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

== Dixieland Costumes ==

I think it's time we added the Dixieland costumes from the end of the video to a costumes page. I'd do it myself but i'm not sure which exact page to added it to, how to input pictures and whether or not we also include some rap song images/costumes. --[[User:Happypasta|Happypasta]] 01:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
:You're looking for the pages listed on [[Other Costumes]]. For the images, take a screenshot of the toon and load it into your favorite image editor. Use the other images on the costumes pages as a guideline for how to crop the images. Save your images as PNG files.

'''COACH Z:''' Can ya help me with my hip hop video? 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Coach Z, that all depends 
Can ya get ya green mittens on a fish eye lens? 

'''COACH Z:''' I'm sorry, did you just say, "Waughmp waughmp"?

'''COACH Z:''' I don't! 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Things are about to get bulbous 

''CHORUS:'' 
'''TOGETHER:''' Waughmp waughmp! 
I want a fish eye lens 
And make a rap video

With a fish eye lens 

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, that chorus wasn't kidding 
Check out how cool my rap points look!

'''EVERYONE:''' Country dish towels! 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahem! I have an idea 
Of what we could try 
What happens if you point it 
At a real fish eye?

''{Homestar points the lens at a real fish. Using software menus, the animator applies a twirl effect. The scene spins as if down the drain. Back in normal styles, Strong Bad, Coach Z, and Homestar appear in the basement dressed in old-timey Dixieland jazz band outfits. Strong Bad has a trumpet with plunger mute. Coach Z has a banjo. Homestar is holding a fishbowl with a dead fish floating in it. An SLR camera with a fish eye lens is submerged in the bowl. The music finishes in an old-timey flourish.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man!

'''COACH Z:''' Aw, dag! What happened to the honeys?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bring back the fish eye! Homestar, you broke our rap song video!

'''COACH Z:''' You turned us into a Dixieland jazz band!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why y'all gotta be dissin' on Dixieland? I think it's great! It's got several syncopations. ''{singing, brandishing his hat, and kicking his legs}'' Several syncopations—

'''STRONG BAD AND COACH Z:''' Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeehhorrrrrp!

''{Strong Bad and Coach Z throw their arms up and exit.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continued}'' —Several syncopations! Several syncopations tonight!

''{Closeup on the fish bowl with a "waughmp waughmp" sound effect. The word "eND" appears over the fish eye lens.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on the "D" in "eND":

'''ONE OF THE BARBERSHOP TRIO:''' Several syncopations tonight!

''{The rest of the trio appears behind him.}''

'''THE OTHER TWO IN THE TRIO:''' Several syncopations tonight!

''{Whip-pan to Old-Timey Strong Bad. He has an old-timey movie camera with a fish roped to it.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Waughmp waughmp, I say! Waughmp waughmp! Everything ''is'' better with this pescatary occulation!

* Click on the dead fish:

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are sitting at [[Monosodium Dreams]]. The twirl effect is still visible on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! That was incredible!

''{He begins babbling as if at a loss for words. He keeps babbling in rhythm. The Cheat pulls out his keyboard and drops a beat in time with the babbling. The rave lights come on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm buying you a pizzzzzza!

''{A pizza falls from the ceiling and covers their heads. The Cheat makes a "da-ta-da!" noise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Guess I can conjure ceiling pizzas now.

BassBone:

'''[https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual StrongBadActual]''' is a [[Strong Bad]] themed [[Twitter]] account which became active on September 26, 2014 after having lain dormant since its creation in September 2011. The account came to public attention when [[The Brothers Chaps|Brothers Chaps]]-collaborator [[Craig Zobel]] retweeted the account's first post, and has since accumulated roughly 6,000 followers.

== Identity ==

The account's manager is unknown, but is suspected to be someone involved within the production of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. Evidence for this may be found within the account's contents.

* Craig Zobel, close friend of The Brothers Chaps, retweeted the first post. At the time, the account had, at most, a few hundred followers.
* The account's icon is a shot of [[Puppet Stuff]] Strong Bad and a discontinued [[Store_Toys#Kick_The_Cheat|Kick The Cheat doll]]. Only two of the former are known to exist (both owned by the Chapman family) and the latter is an exceedingly rare collector's item.
* Handwriting and doodles consistent with Matt's appear in several pictures, as well as elaborate setups of [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] and [[Compy, Inc.|Compy]] electronics.
* The account became active in late September of 2014, the general time frame [[Matt]] said he hoped updates would resume on the [[The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show Interview - 7 July 2014|Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show]].
* A unique shot of Strong Bad holding the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]] was posted on October 2, revealing the creator to have the original [[Flash]] assets. This suggests [[Mike]] had a hand in making it.

While the account's origin will not be known until The Brothers Chaps make comment on it, it can be assumed to part of the "something new somewhere on the horizon" Matt spoke of.

BassBone: /* Strong Bad Official Twitter? */

{{Main Page Talk}}

== DELETED! ==

I feel like such a hipocrit. A few days ago, I nominated the Homestar Runner page on wikiquote.org for Deletion. Voting closes 10/9/2013, so there is still time to save it, if you hurry! --{{User:ToaJuaraevo01/sig1}} 16:57, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
:I don't especially care, but [[Wikiquote:Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Homestar Runner|here's the link]] in case anyone else does. What would be needed to save that page? Adding links to all the toons each quote came from? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:23, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

== Chronology? ==

I've always wanted to put together a list of all HomestarRunner.com-related items in chronological order. I wish the dvds were like that. I'd love to sit down and watch everything in order (toons intertwined with sbemails, etc.) and catch the references in the right order. Is there any page that has this already? If not, I think it could be an interesting project... An interesting project that I myself would never attempt. Ha! That's why I come to you. Maybe someone out there would want to do this. --[[User:EricTheDerek|EricTheDerek]] 18:18, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
:[[All Toons]] has what you need. (I've been doing that myself lately). {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:53, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

The store is black up? Fantastic! (I feel like making a Doctor Who-related comment, but I'm going to keep quiet) --{{User:ToaJuaraevo01/sig1}} 14:26, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

== Assorted links to Wikipedia articles in bio pages ==

In some bio pages, especially [[The Ugly One]]'s, there are links to Wikipedia pages on [[Wikipedia:hygiene|hygiene]] and even [[Wikipedia:ugliness|ugliness]]. Are these links desirable to have? Are they useful? What are some others' opinions on the matter? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 15:00, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

== Yes yes, need some assistance with getting an account ==
My old username on this Wiki, which I haven't used since October 2011 but want to resume using now (under that name) is SuperbowserX (http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SuperbowserX). Unfortunately for me, I forgot the password. I tried to have it resend a new password TWICE (due to the 24hr a day limit), but it didn't send the password reset form at all. Even worse, when I emailed the admin@hrwiki.org account, I later got THIS:

"

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:

admin@hrwiki.org

Message will be retried for 2 more day(s)

"

Anyway, so I'm in need of someone who can help. 3 things:
1) Can anyone verify whether or not the email address associated with that account is "nintendo_waluigi@hotmail.com"? I still have access to that email but I've changed to (and am planning to change SuperbowserX to) "subscriber0101@gmail.com"/

2) Does anyone have an explanation for why the password reset form didn't send (assuming that the associated email account is that email)?

3) Is admin@hrwiki.org still a valid email address to contact.

:I have fixed the issue with the email. Please try to send your password reset again. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 01:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

== Why so slow? ==

I came back now that there's a new update, and the site is incredibly slow. I didn't notice anything on [[HRWiki:A_History|the history page]] about the site being having bandwidth decreased or anything. So what's up?

Yes, I know the site is free and has no advertising, even for its own maintenance. But I also know I had no problems with speed on the site back in December after the last update. {{User:Trlkly/sig}} 23:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

== Strong Bad Official Twitter? ==

In recent days a [https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual twitter account] has surfaced purporting to be Strong Bad. Content includes doodles on The Paper and old computer equipment. There is compelling evidence that is is being managed by [[The Brothers Chaps]] and is updating regularly. The avatar for the twitter account is a picture of the one-of-a-kind Strong Bad Puppet and a [[Store Toys#Kick The Cheat|Kick the Cheat]] doll that does not exist anywhere else. Furthermore [[Craig Zobel]] retweeted the first tweet from this account [https://twitter.com/craigzobel here]. I think this is enough to include this new development here on the wiki. Do you? {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 20:52, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

I think it should be noted, definitely. It also seems to indicate that those new toons we were promised earlier this year are very close to being aired! {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 05:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
* While I don't have the authority to determine the account's authenticity, worth noting is that Craig has only retweeted Homester Runner content three times: once for [[Ron Planet]], once for the Daft Punk mashup, and this. Thus, it would seem odd he'd retweet a small-time fan account. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 05:05, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
::I don't see anything that would lead me to think the account's an impostor; indeed, it seems to have hallmarks of authenticity, as others have already pointed out. So if no one has any evidence to counter this, I suggest we include it on our wiki. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

W00tstock - 18 Jul 2013

2013-07-25T19:31:25Z

BassBone: /* Transcript */ Fixing some stuff

[[Image:W00tstock.png|thumb|"Go away, Homestuck."]]

At [http://w00tstock.net/ W00tstock 5.0], an unlikely duo makes an unexpected appearance.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):'''
{{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Homestar Runner}}

'''Date:''' Wednesday, July 25, 2013

==Transcript==
''{[[Wikipedia:Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss)|Also sprach Zarathustra]] plays. The text "Hey" appears onscreen. It fades away, and "Did you miss us?" appears. The text fades and the music intensifies. "Let's" fades in, and "do this..." fades through it. The text "W00tsock 5.0" appears. The screen fades to a red fez, and pans out to reveal Strong Bad. "Please welcome" and "Strong Bad" appear over his head. The music finishes.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hello, my name is Strong Bad, and I'm from 2002. Ask your parents. They asked me to come out here and introduce you to W-Zero-Zero-t-stock to lay down some ground rules to keep you nerds in line. First of all, I would like every male wearing a fedora to punch themselves in the face. Those things were never cool and never looked good on you. Uh, also I noticed all of you [[Wikipedia:Steampunk|steampunk]] people out there. Look, I really appreciate all the time and craftsmanship that goes into those costumes, and those cool ray guns you've got, but look. There's a lot of machines missing gears out there right now. Poor, defenseless machines with no gears. For Pete's sake, put 'em back, steampunkers. Alright, now, browncoats , in the crowd, where my browncoats at? Oh, browncoats, listen up. Your ''Firebug'' show is never ever coming back. Just calm down. Pretty sure that show ''Castle'' is the spiritual sequel. Oh yeah, this one isn't so much a rule as it is a question: can anybody explain Homestuck to me?

''{Homestar appears onscreen, also wearing a Fez.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hey, Strong Bad, watcha doing?

'''STRONG BAD''': Shut up, I'm just talking to the nerds here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ooh, I'm a nerd. Check me out, I've even got my smartphone.

'''STRONG BAD''': You don't have any — there's nothing smart about you! What kind of smartphone do you have?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I've got... a Palm Pilot and... a Blackberry and... a Zooooooom... player? I've got ''{unintelligible}'' class.

'''STRONG BAD''': Alright, go away Homestuck.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Okay, bye!

''{Homestar disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Alright, we should probably let them get the show started. So, without further adieuuuuu, ladies, gentlemen, geeks, nerds, Fetts (both Jango and Boba), slave Leias, cinnamon bun Leias, Hoth Leias, Bespin Leias, brick layas...

''{Homestar appears onscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I like Lobot.

''{Homestar disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Please give it up for the man who apparently Tweets with each beat of his heart! ''{Words appear as he says them.}'' Wil Wheaton!

''{Screen fades to black}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Everybody get your wheat on!

''{Wil Wheaton enters.}

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Wikipedia fedora.jpg|thumb|"Those things were never cool and never looked good on you."]]
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Steampunk|Steampunk]] is a science-fiction sub-genre based on technology from the 19th century. It is popular among nerd circles.
*[[Wikipedia:Fedora|Fedoras]] are hats with a pinched crown. While they were briefly popular with [[Wikipedia:Hipster|hipsters]] in the aughties, they quickly fell out of favor and are now seen as [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fedora-shaming a joke] among most nerds.

===Trivia===
*This marks the first appearance of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters since their appearance at the [[Aquabats Concert - 18 Jan 2011|Aquabats concert]] two and a half years prior. This marks the longest hiatus returned from, at 918 days.

===Remarks===

''{Strong Bad types "strongbad_email.exe" and presses enter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I met this email on a north-bound train. We had some dinner, then we danced in the rain.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: narration</div>
Have you ever been the narrator for a movie? 
 
Grant Gossman from Minnesota. 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Minnesota" slightly slower than the rest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No Grossman, I have not. But you know what's way better than narrating movies? Narrating peoples' pathetic everyday lives like they're movie trailers. Ready? Let's try it!

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is sitting at his table eating a small pie. Strong Bad leans in through the doorway.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dramatically}'' Meet Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? Who are you talking to?

'''STRONG BAD:''' All he ever wanted was to eat his grody ethnic food in peace.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey man, this a Rogan Josh pot pie!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until one day, fate threw him a curveball.

''{A small blue octopus flies across the screen, hits Strong Sad in the face with a slap and sticks to him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' OW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lump of Dump Pictures proudly presents:

''{Cut to logo splash. Words appear as Strong Bad says them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Whined & Dined". In the game of life, may the best man ''{slight pause}'' whine.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Coach Z is talking to Bubs. Strong Bad quickly peers out around the corner of the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In a post-apocalyptic world where ''{cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}'' weird old men survive on boring conversations...

''{Cut to wide shot outside the stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' I suppose we could talk about my napkin friend for another couple hours. ''{holds up a napkin}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...a line will be drawn.

''{Cut to the inside of the stand.}''

'''COACH Z:''' YOUR napkin?! Well, it's got my snot balls on it!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A hero will rise.

''{Cut back to outside the stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Man, you don't even have a nose!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And an empire will fall.

''{Cut back to outside the stand. Bubs slams the metal gate to his concession stand shut, revealing "4actor Z" graffiti}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Factor Z!

''{Cut to Marzipan's House. Marzipan and Homestar are inside; Homestar is wearing an apron and a strange chef's hat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They were a couple in love.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you look like a dork with that on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until a dorky chef's hat threatened to tear them apart.

''{Close-up of Homestar's head. Homestar shakes his hat around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah? Well maybe you look like some type of... enormous... alien... cow!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasp}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as music begins to play}'' This summer,—

''{Cut to the field, where Homsar is levitating on his stomach while his hat rises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —this holiday season,—

''{Cut to the side of The King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is shoveling whatsit in the background. Slow zoom in on him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —this Arbor Day, some smelly French studio invites YOU ''{points at camera}'' to sit through a four hour film with no dialogue and no plot. "Whatsit ''{slight pause}'' All About"

''{Title appears on the screen with the subtitle "Whatzeet All Aboot?" Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing Battleship. Piano music begins}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two unlikely partners...

'''STRONG MAD:''' I ATE MY BATTLESHIP!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...one brain between them.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{shrugs and sighs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the creators of "I'm Surprised Strong Mad Hasn't Eaten The Cheat by Now"

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{upset}'' Awww!

'''STRONG BAD:''' get ready to—

''{The words fly on screen as he says them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —LUG... IT... AROUND.

''{Title appears at top of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Lugnut ''{gestures toward Strong Mad}'' & Squeak" ''{pats The Cheat on the head}''

''{Strong Mad grins.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''

''{Cut to bathroom. We are just behind Strong Sad as he brushes his teeth. We can see his reflection in the mirror. Strong Bad pops up just over his shoulder.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' For hundreds of years it has ''{flickers lights on and off}'' haunted mankind.

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Sad is watching TV. Strong Bad is standing off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the master of teenagers-on-a-camping-trip-esque horror. ''{flickers lights again and leaves them off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Are you gonna throw a dead goose at me or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Comes the remake no one was waiting for: ''{another title splash}'' "Things That Go Dump in The Night".

''{Cut to the laundry room. Strong Sad opens the dryer. Cut to a view of Strong Sad from inside it. A dead goose flies out, and Strong Sad screams as it knocks him over. The screen immediately goes black except for the words "Your goose is cooked."}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The critics agree! "A triumph!" "A cinematic breakfast snack of some kind!" "It ''{very slight pause}'' sure was a movie!" ''{quickly}'' Now playing in select cities. ''{disclaimer speed}'' This Strong Bad Email has been rated P for The Poopsmith and a graphic scene of The Paper.

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "grossman" after Strong Bad types it to see a Strong Badman comic book cover illustrating him.
*Click on "critics" at the end of the email to see a scene with the two youngest of the Brothers Strong.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''(still with the blue octopus on his face)'' Look, all I'm saying is it felt more like a change-up than a curveball.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you, the SBEmail police now? This is like three weeks in a row!
*Also click on "rated P" at the end to see a scene with a [[Powered by the Cheat]]-style Marzipan Alien Cow and Nebulon.
:'''MARZIPAN ALIEN:''' ''(in a Powered by the Cheat-style voice)'' You know, Nebulon, I've always admired your styles.
:''{Nebulon makes a sad face and slides away.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Rogan Josh|Rogan Josh]] is a tomato/red pepper based lamb curry dish, created in Northern India. It is normally served over rice, not in a pot pie.
* The subtitle "Whatzeet all aboot" is the movie title spoken in a stereotypical French or Canadian accent.

===Trivia===
*The Strong Badman Easter egg was not in the email at first, but was added later on in the day.
*According to the [[Inkhole Interview]] and the [[New_Boots#Commentary_Transcript|DVD Commentary]] for [[New Boots]], sad Nebulon ("when he ages a thousand years") is [[Matt Chapman]]'s favorite moment from any of the [[Toons]].

===Remarks===
*"4actor Z" is another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]].
* Strong Bad refers to Bubs and Coach Z as "old men" in this toon. Their ages relative to the other characters are rarely mentioned, although Coach Z called himself an "old man" in [[caffeine]].
* Strong Bad mistakes the author's name, Gossman, for "Grossman". Coincidentally, this is the 144th email - 144 is equal to one "gross", or 12 dozen.

===Goofs===
*During the Lugnut and Squeak scene, the Battleship images on the playing boards are slightly disproportionate when the camera zooms in on Strong Bad.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad's role as Lugnut is likely a reference to his [[Yearbook Character Page#Strong Mad|Yearbook Character Page]], which described him as a "big lug."
*When Strong Bad says "three weeks in a row", he is referring to the previous 2 emails: [[technology]], in which Strong Sad corrected Strong Bad for calling a floppy disk a "hard disk", and [[secret identity]], when [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]] corrected Homestar's mispronunciation of "pseudonym". All of these three corrections occured during [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]].
**Strong Bad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by mentioning that this is the third week in a row Strong Sad has made a correction in the email.
*This is the second time Bubs has been seen closing his Concession Stand, (the first time being in [[lackey]]), and both times it had been previously graffitied.
* Unlike Strong Bad ([[New Boots]]) and [[1-Up]] ([[Stinkoman 20X6]]), Marzipan Alien Cow likes Nebulon's style, though he still leaves looking disappointed.
*The movie title "THiNGS THAT GO DUMP iN THE NiGHT" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].
*Coach Z and Bubs arguing over who owns the napkin is a reference to the Easter Egg rap from Strong Bad Email #107, specifically Bubs' line (to Coach Z) "But don't you steal my napkins."

===Real-World References===
* The game Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing is [[Wikipedia:Battleship (game)|Battleship]]; the "battleship" icon depicted on the game is a silhouette of the Civil War-era Confederate [[Wikipedia:Ironclad_warship|ironclad]] ''[[Wikipedia:CSS_Virginia|CSS Virginia]]''.
** Strong Mad's line "I ate my battleship!" is a take off from the old Battleship commercials, where one player would cry at the end "You sank my battleship!"
* The title "Things That Go Dump in the Night" is a reference to the better known "Things that go '''Bump''' in the Night".
* Lugnut & Squeak is similar to [[Wikipedia:The Odd Couple|The Odd Couple]], about two mismatched roommates, which is similar to what Strong Bad said about Strong Mad and The Cheat being "two unlikely partners". It also resembles numerous cop movies such as Tango and Cash.
**Lugnut and Squeak might also be a reference to Wallace and Gromit, where the animal is far smarter than the human.
* "Teenagers on a camping trip" likely refers to the movie [[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (film series)|Friday the 13th]] and its sequels, which primarily featured such characters.
* The song Strong Bad sings at the beginning is similar to the song "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum or "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen
*4actor Z is a reference to Factor 4, best known for their work on the Rogue Squadron video games.

BassBone: /* Somewhat Powered by The Cheat Stuff */

[[Image:PBTC.jpg|thumb|Powered by The Cheat, for The Cheat]]
[[The Cheat]] and his trusty computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], have been creating "'''Powered by The Cheat'''" Flash cartoons since 2002. The Cheat's toons, which are a parody of the many poorly drawn Flash cartoons on the web, are usually packed with bad animation and [[Powered by The Cheat Character Variations|character depictions]], poor imitations of the character's voices (provided by [[Mike Chapman]]), and nonexistent plots. It is never explained how The Cheat manages to imitate the other characters speaking English (in all regular toons, The Cheat speaks in his own native "The Cheat" language). He always [[Wikipedia:Self-insertion|incorporates himself]] into his cartoons, sometimes in a [[Wikipedia:List_of_Hitchcock_cameo_appearances|Hitchcock-style cameo]], but usually making himself appear awesome or receive some sort of prize. The Cheat has won several prizes for these cartoons in real life, including an iron cup full of Brunswick Stew and the fabled "[[Pizza]] [[Trophies|Trophy]]."

The Cheat has also provided animation for other [[Free Country, USA]] artists. He has also collaborated with the likes of [[The Skate Party]], [[They Might Be Giants]] and many more.

Talk:Strong Bad

2006-02-01T00:47:26Z

BassBone:

== Character galleries ==
Hm, what should we do about character gallery sub-pages? I'd just as soon not have them, but I know that will make someone mad. Do we add a gallery section to the page? I sure wish we could do thumbnails. I need to talk with our host about installing ImageMagick. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 11:31, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

:Hmm. I was just thinking the same thing about how that screenshot would look better in a box up on the right. What would we have to do to get ImageMagick? For the galleries... I don't know. Really they were just made by one person who just did a Google image search for them. They are just hotlinked images ripping off someone else's bandwidth. I say we don't need them. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:37, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

== Character Bios in General ==
Yeah, these character bios need some series work. Do we really need to mention things that happened in one toon? (The underwear thing? Sibbie?) I think we should stick to the general stuff. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:37, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)

No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...

do some research

== I agree ==

These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners

What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!

Ironically, so are both of you guys. As for StrongBad, He does not come from that game. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Strong Bad... A HARRY POTTER WIZARD!? ==
I think Strong Bad might be a wizard. Here are some reasons
A. His house's layout changes.
B. He has a hobby of "Barbzerdry"
C. He has telekinetic powers.
D. He has acess to moving pictures. (Strong Bad E-mail "No Loafing")

Is he a wizard or not?

:The moving picture was simply a goof. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 15:02, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

:"telekinetic powers"? Where? --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 21:28, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Dude, It's from [[Strong Bad Email]] [[super powers]]. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]

== Boxing gloves? ==

Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning

How are we even sure that those even ''are'' boxing gloves? It said in one of the interviews that Strong Bad's face is a mask, and he doesn't hae anything underneath it. Maybe his boxing gloves ARE his hands. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:His boxing gloves are, in fact, his hands: [[some kinda robot]] {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:31, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::In [[some kinda robot]] this is proven. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Age ==

I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.

*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.

With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.

:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)

That's contradicts, not contadicts, and Strong Sad is much better than Strong Bad.
-Mipsyx

== Elvis Costello ==

A few days ago I was watching tv and came across a song that featured a man in boxing gloves typing on a typewriter this left me wondering if that song (I don' know the name of the song I just know it's from Elvis Costello) was the inspiration for strong bad.--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 08:07, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing. Via [http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/25/012231.php#comments].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:13, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

So are you saying that, it wasn't the inspiration, or it was?

== Triangle or Diamond? ==

Okay, is the thing on SB's face a triangle or diamond? Because It's shaped like a triangle, but in SB' biography, [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] keeps changing it to diamond. Am I missing something? [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 22:45, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:1. Never on the site is it referred to as a triangle.
:2. Don't get confused between a diamond and something diamond-shaped. Not all diamonds are diamond-shaped (or more accurately, a rhombus).
:—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:49, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh-kay... Good advice. But where is it referred on the site that it's a diamond? [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 02:31, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:[[super powers]]. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 02:33, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=diamond&fulltext=Search HRWiki Search for "diamond"]; [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=triangle&fulltext=Search HRWiki Search for "triangle"] —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:36, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Ohh.. right. Sorry about that. [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 02:48, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Don't feel sorry about wondering. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:49, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Okay [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 04:39, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== all the real girls ==
strong bad was apparently seen in the background in some scenes in the 2003 movie, "all the real girls", at least according to IMDb
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0299458/

:See [[Matt Chapman#Acting]] for details.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:41, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Green tounge? ==

When was strong bad seen with his tounge?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 07:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:He has a green tongue in [[Super NES]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== strong bad's basement ==

You know the wall painting in the basement, is that a flag or some made up design?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 07:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you talking about the white and blue stripe that goes across the wall with a few zig-zags? If so, I think it's just meant to be a basic pattern. It's not any flag that I recognize, anyway. Hope that helps? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:Also, it's based on a real wall in a room the Brothers Chaps sometimes use. See [[Making of Email 100]] for a picture. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::And TBC probably just liked it 'cause it was a random design or something. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:It's not ''based'' on a real wall. The real wall was painted to match the basement. —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 03:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
::Oh really? I thought it was vica-versa. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==

I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career. Do you think this deserves it's own page, an amendment to the current character bio, or just the throwaway mention it currently has? Just asking. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags. Hm. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::Stricken from the record. In face I won't even call it Hy****sy any more. We'll call it Josh. Ok, so would you favor just expanding the character bio more, or having it's own page that we could link stuff to? I would personally favor a new page simply because it's a slightly more complex issue than the standard bio. If someone wants to dig deep enough into the subject, they'll find a nice page waiting for them. But that's just me. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Mm—I'm not sure. I can see merits of both. (Of having a page because it would be easy to link to and because this does have the marks of a recurring phenomenon, if not an intentional gag; and of keeping it on this page just because we seem to be making new pages every day chronicling every instance of specific conceptual entities, and maybe we need to ease up on them.) I'm... hesitant. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Understandable. I must confess that I am guilty of creating a probably useless page, though it was fun to do, and far more efficient than just tacking it on to the page in question (specifically [[The Paper]]. See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about. However, I think this particular phenomenon merits closer study and categorization, just because I keep finding loose refernces to Strong Bad's spelling errors, and I'd like to have them corralled in one place. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 06:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::Well, yeah, I can see how [[Preeow]] might have less of a leg to stand on. And I agree, this phenomenon ''does'' need documentation. I think I'm leaning toward a page of its own. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:25, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::I think I'll start on it tomorrow. It's late here. Hopefully by then H*R is working again. I'm having trouble loading certain parts of it, but the sbemail section is unharmed. Also, someone hasn't beaten me to it and hopelessly screwed up a good idea. Thanks for the input Viklas. It was not came's. He borrowed mine. I think I has the solution: width times height. -Stark Dålig...just kidding. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 06:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::We have a [[Spelling]] article for non-Strong Bad errors. Consider including your information in this article or using the same format for your new article. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the input Tom. I think I'm going to give it it's own page, but use a similar format. Should have a first draft for everyone to rip apart in an hour or so. Thanks again everybody! -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 15:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Email, ah ooh, ooh, ah ah ooh, email. ''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: death metal</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I'm in this death metal band at my school, and I am in need 
of some of your expert lyrical advice: what words sound 
really cool when you scream 'em at the top of your lungs? 
Dane 
Corvallis, OR 
</blockquote>

''{He says "Ding dong, string strong, bing bong" instead of "Dear Strong Bad."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whoa! You must go to a pretty cool school. Most schools just have a marching band or maybe a jazz ensemble. But a death metal band? That's extracurriculariffic! ''{clears screen}'' Now let's see, first, you'd better be ugly, Dane. Or fat. The gift of death metal does not smile on the good looking. If there's any doubt, go ahead and hot-glue some corn flakes to your face. That'll do the trick. Now, I'm no geographist, but I don't think Oregon is anywhere near Scandinavia, which seems to be the only place left where death metal will get you any chicks. ''{clears screen}'' As for lyrics, you've got it all wrong! Screaming words at the ''top'' of your lungs is for people with blond hair. Ya know, words like 'tonite,' 'wooh-mon,' and the name of any street in L.A. ''{types "run 'webcam'"}'' Check it out! ''{clears screen. A window with a camera shot of Larry Palaroncini pops up.}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{sings the following lines, which appear below the shot under the screen name "ladeezluvlarry71"}'' tonight! wooh-mon! we'll be drivin' down Sepulveda with the t-top down?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Larry.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{the words continue to appear below Larry's image}'' no prob, Strong Bad. HEY! i'm gonna b online later on playing an MMORPG if you wanna join my guild!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, maybe.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' no wait! ''{the text "you kicked ladeezluvlarry71 offline" appears in red. The window closes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So for death metal, you want to scream from the bowels of your lungs. The bowels! Words like, ''{in a deep, sinister voice, and with the words in green, spooky letters}'' 'decay,' 'deranged,' 'decrepit,' and um, 'delouse.' In fact, you really can't go wrong with anything that starts with d-e. 'Cept for maybe

''{cut to the auditorium from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], with a singer, bassist, and drummer on stage}''

'''SINGER:''' Dentist!

'''BACK-UP:''' Jugga jigga wugga!

'''SINGER:''' Deli-style!

'''BACK-UP:''' Jugga jigga wugga!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{in Teen Girl Squad voice}'' That was Brainkrieg. They got last place. ''{in normal voice}'' So let's recap: ugly, Nordic, bowels, d-e words. Now all you gotta do is ''{cut to Strong Mad in the Basement}'' hunch all upon yourself, pretend you're holding a mystical orb in each hand ''{Strong Mad holds out his hands and a circular outline appears in each}'' and let the evil flow forth. ''{The scene darkens. The circular outlines fade away. A drum beat begins.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{bounces up and down}'' DeVito. DENIRO!! DELUISE!!!! ''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, imitating drum beat}'' Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-baddle! Broodle-broodle-broodle blap-biddle-blap! Whoa! Boy, do I ever need a quadruple bass pedal. And now, let's watch how it all comes together on the Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour! ''{Cut to the TV in the basement, on which the text "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon [Hour]" is seen. Strong Bad sits on the couch. Taranchula appears on the screen.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' ''{in pseudo-Scandinavian accents}'' Ja, we are Taranchula!

'''DAVE OLAFTENSTON:''' You just saw videos from Vinger, Schlaugh-ter and the Winnie Wincent Inwasion.

'''SCHENKEL MCDOO:''' Ja, now here's a sneak peek at our new wideo. ''{lifts tone as if asking a question}''

''{The TV cuts to the video. We see a screw on some rusty metal. Cut to another scene with rusty metal. Cut to a piece of beef slithering across rusty metal.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' You will submit to the decoupage!

''{Cut to four screws, one of which moves around quickly.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' It was a death nail! (Death nail!)

''{Cut to the beef, which is stabbed by a nail and then bound with metal wires. The beef explodes.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' Down with the decoupage!

''{Cut to the beef slithering over the rusty metal, this time in the opposite direction. Cut to Strong Bad on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Creeping. Rusty. Meat. Truly the heart and soul of all death metal. Except, now I feel like I really need to brush my teeth. Lookin' at all that rust. And beef. While I'm gone, complete this worksheet I've prepared for you aspiring death metal types. And, uh, careful with the hot-glue gun, Dane. ''{He goes offscreen to the left, while the worksheet floats to the front of the screen. The worksheet includes [[The Paper|The Paper's]] customary "Click here to email Strong Bad" link at the bottom.}''

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Scandinavia|Scandinavia]] is a group of countries in northern Europe. It consists of the countries Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, and is sometimes also said to include Finland and Iceland, especially when the term is used in English. Many successful Death and Black Metal bands originate in Scandinavia, and the genres are arguably the most popular there. Examples of famous Death & Black Metal bands include Emperor, Mayhem, Celtic Frost, Decapitated, and Dimmu Borgir.

*This is the first time that the entire band [[Taranchula]] appears, although Dave Bjornborg appeared in the video for "[[Moving Very Slowly]]".

===Remarks===
*One of the members of Taranchula is wearing the exact same pink shirt that [[Matt Chapman]] wears in the [[:Image:Videlectrix developers.jpg|promo photo]] for [[Videlectrix]].

*The space between "strong" and "bad" in Strong Bad's name is omitted on the end worksheet.
*Larry Palaroncini's lyric "Driving ... with the t-top down?" makes no sense, as a T-top cannot be lowered, but rather opened by removing two panels from the top of the car.

*The Taranchula video seems to be inspired by the style and imagery of stop-motion animators [[Wikipedia:Brothers_Quay|The Brothers Quay]], particularly their short film "The Street of Crocodiles" (which features self-mobile screws, meat, and a similar decrepit industrial setting).
*Strong Mad's death metal lyrics are a reference to three film and television actors whose last names begin with "D-e": [[Wikipedia:Danny_Devito|Danny DeVito]], [[Wikipedia:Robert_Deniro|Robert De Niro]], and one of the DeLuise family of actors (father [[Wikipedia:Dom_DeLuise|Dom DeLuise]], or sons [[Wikipedia:Peter_DeLuise|Peter DeLuise]], [[Wikipedia:Michael_DeLuise|Michael DeLuise]] or [[Wikipedia:David_DeLuise|David DeLuise]].)
*The "Winnie Wincent Inwasion" is in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Vinnie_Vincent_Invasion|Vinnie Vincent Invasion]]. Vinnie Vincent formed the Invasion after leaving [[Wikipedia:KISS_%28band%29|KISS]].
*"Schlaugh-ter" is probably meant to be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Slaughter_(band)|Slaughter]], a hair metal band formed near the end of that genre's mass popularity. Interestingly enough, it was formed mostly out of former members of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
*"Vinger" is more than likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Winger|Winger]], an oft-ridiculed hair metal band most famous for songs such as "Headed for a Heartbreak."

Headbanger's Ball had a reputation for disappointing metal fans by claiming to play hardcore metal but often favoring videos by such pop-metal acts as Motley Crue and Poison. The Bros. Chaps may be poking fun at that tendency. "Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour" also takes its name from MTV's "Half-hour Comedy Hour," a 30 minute stand up comedy show hosted by Mario Joyner.

* Cheerleader's quote, "I come for the wuggas, but stay for the jiggy-juggas," may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Marie_Callender%27s|Marie Callender's]] restaurant's old slogan "Come for the food, stay for the pie."
