''"Who's faster than Kid Speedy? EVERYBODY!! This little fatso is the slowest poke in the bunch. Try not to get dead last while avoiding sweets and insults in this hilarious arcade-style race 'em up."'' — Videlectrix

'''Kid Speedy''' is a game in which you play the character Kid Speedy, trying to win a race (or, at least, not come in last). The game was originally only mentioned in the [[Videlectrix]] game catalog; it was made available for play on July 10, 2006.

'''Date:''' Monday, July 10, 2006

'''Page Title:''' Don't Forget Your Inhaler!

'''Viidelectrix Page Title:''' Kid Weedy

==The Game==
[[Image:Kidspeedy intstructions.PNG|thumb|Instructions]]
To qualify for the next race, you must finish the four-man race third place or above. By collecting vegetables and happy faces, you make your character go faster (with one exception, see [[#Trivia|trivia]]). Collecting junk food or [[swears]] causes your character to lose all speed.
The player can race the chosen character on eleven different courses: Jelly Woods Fun Run, Cheese Puff Hills 2 Mile, Porkchop Wilds 5K, Egg Mountain Minithon, Probate Flats Walk-a-thon, [[Indiana]], [[Wikipedia:Chicago Loop|The Loop]], Demon's Rub Marathon, Doomed Souls Charity Trudge, Caramel Canyon Walk, and Crumble Star Sprintup (the last four tracks are only accessible if you are playing as a specific character, see trivia). Each track has borders resembling the name (example: Cheese Puff Hills has orange borders).

The game consists of two modes: 1 Player and "Online Play". However, all of the runners, in both modes, are computer controlled. The loading online players screen is just for show.

If you do not finish dead last, you "Qualify". If you lose, you get the message "YOU GOT DEAD LAST!"

==The Ending==

==Easter Eggs==
*While Homestar and Marzipan are driving at the end of the game, you can control the car with the left and right arrow keys.
*At the title screen, you can press "s", "k" or "h" ten times to start the game as Strong Sad, The King of Town or Homestar Runner, respectively.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Kidspeedy strong sad mode.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad mode]]
===Explanations===
*The term "Race 'em up" is based on the more logically named term "Shoot 'em up".
*Kid Speedy is most likely a parody of "educational" computer games that often promote nutrition.

===Trivia===
*Each race starts with the message "Ready! Set! OK, now go."
*If you win the game, you unlock "Strong Sad Mode", where your character becomes Strong Sad. Beating the game as Strong Sad unlocks "KOT Mode", where you play as The King of Town. Beating the game again finally unlocks "Homestar Mode", where you play as Homestar Runner.
*When you play the last race, a group of runners will pass you and your opponents very quickly (They can be seen in the left margin of every race, running in place, if you play the Flash file). If your last race is the shortest race, Egg Mountain Minithon (#4), then these runners can finish the race in under seven seconds.
[[Image:Kid speedy box art.PNG|thumb|Kid Speedy box art]]
*Currently, the box art for Kid Speedy reads "BOX ART UNAVAILABLE!".
* The gameplay is very random: It is possible to acquire every healthy food item in the course and only them, and still lose.
*"The Loop" is the only level in the game whose preview shows a design that doesn't loop.
*On July 17, 2006, version 1.new was released, with several changes:
**Added The King of Town and Homestar Runner as unlockable characters – previously, only Strong Sad could be unlocked, and Kid Speedy would still appear at the end of each level and the end of the game.
**Added tomato and cookie items.
**Food items bob up and down on some levels now.
**The 8th level now changes depending on your character:
***Kid Speedy— Demon's Rub Marathon
***Strong Sad— Doomed Souls Charity Trudge (the map resembles Strong Sad's head)
***The King of Town— Caramel Canyon Walk-Take (the map resembles a [[ham]])
***Homestar Runner— Crumble Star Sprintup (the map resembles a star)
*Your three opponents behave like this: two of them run at a constant speed all the way to the finish line, the third changes every 3 seconds (on average - it can be anywhere from 0 to 6) to be slightly faster than you (how much faster depends on what level you're playing). When you collect a power-down item, the third opponent will always match speeds a second and a half later.
*Kid Speedy, Strong Sad, and The King of Town can achieve third or even second place, but cannot achieve first place. For Homestar Runner, however, first place is possible.
*The game is also uploaded on [[Homestarrunner.com]], but never linked to. It can be found [[HR:kidspeedy.html|here]].
*This games suggests that [[Marzipan's House]] is to the left of [[the brick wall]]. However, in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], it is impossible to reach Marzipan's House any other way than clicking on it from the map.

===Remarks===
*When you beat Strong Sad Mode, he is seen jumping up and down. In [[Strong Sad's Lament]], he revealed that he was unable to jump.
*If you play the game with the Flash file, you can cheat on every level by right-clicking on the game and selecting ''Play'' after the race starts. You'll hear the falling down sound effect and see the congratulations screen for a few seconds, then it will show the typical qualified screen.

===Differences between the characters===
====Strong Sad====
*There's a chance one of your opponents will be Kid Speedy.
*Speed-up items work 50% better than they do for Kid Speedy.
*Strong Sad slows down twice as fast as Kid Speedy.
*When you collect a speed-down item, the third opponent (see [[#Trivia|trivia]]) will match speeds with you, plus a large amount (more than they usually beat you by), right before you slow down (so if you're going full speed when you hit one, they'll race ahead of you for that 1.5 seconds).

====The King of Town====
*There's a chance of one or two of your opponents being Kid Speedy or Strong Sad.
*The "good" and "bad" collectibles are reversed - junk food and swears speed you up and good food slows you down.
*He trips and falls on the qualification movie, causing the victory music to abruptly stop.

====Homestar Runner====
*Your opponents will always be Kid Speedy, Strong Sad, and The King of Town.
*Homestar's maximum running speed is 25% higher than the others'.
*Speed-up items work twice as well as they do for Kid Speedy.

===Glitches===
*In Flash Player 6, Kid Speedy's slowest opponent is absent. While getting second place is extremely difficult, it's impossible to lose since he can rank no lower than third.
*If you qualify for a level, but play it again and lose, you will have to beat it again to win the game.
* No matter which race you choose in version 1.new, it will always show the image of your character's eighth race when you qualify.
**This was later fixed for the [[Viidelectrix]] version. However, qualifying for the eighth race will now always show the map of Demon's Rub Marathon, regardless of which character you are.
*Sometimes, if you are playing as the King of Town, the items will have their normal effects: the good items will help you, and the bad items will harm you.

===Fixed Glitches===
*When the game first came out, the player had to cross the center of the finish line to finish the level, while the computer players needed only touch the edge of the line. Thus it was possible to finish barely ahead of the last runner, but still lose the level. This has since been fixed.

===Inside References===
*One of the tracks is the "EGG MOUNTAIN MiNiTHON", making this another instance of [[Lowercase i's]] and [[eggs]].
*Homestar Runner's ending includes a reference to [[hybrid cars]].
*The Mini-map sprites are similar to the ones in [[Secret Collect]]. The player's mini-map sprite is [[Strong Bad]]'s and the others are "secrets".
*The narrator says "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GOT [[NOT]] DEAD LAST!"
*Videlectrix calls the game a "hilarious arcade-style [[X 'em Up|race 'em up]]".

===Real-World References===
*The "Indiana" and "The Loop" levels are likely inspired by the the arcade racing game [[Wikipedia:Cruis'n USA|Cruis'n USA]], which features [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] and [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]] venues.
*"Wide Loading" (on the [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]]) is a reference to the "Wide Load" sign which appears on trucks carrying large items. It is also used as a slang term for "fat".
*In the Flash file of Kid Speedy, there are three other runners to the left of the screen and they seem to be wearing colors of flags. The top runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] and the middle runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]]. The lowest runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Kenya|Kenya]] (black, red, and green stripes, separated by white). These runners are later seen racing ahead to the finish line in the 8th race, as well as in the ending.
*At the ending podium, the three "winning" runners each have an animation similar to the animations made by the characters at the end of [[wikipedia:Super Mario Kart|Super Mario Kart]]. Notably, the "first place" winner's ending looks like he is clanging champagne bottles, similar to Koopa Troopa's victory animation in Mario Kart.
*When Kid Speedy trips on the finish line, he does so in the same manner and sound as does the character in the [[wikipedia:NES|NES]] version of [[wikipedia:Track & Field (arcade game)|Track & Field]].
*Kid Speedy's ending sequence is a reference to the common movie theme of competing in a race or other competition to win money to either save an orphanage or pay for an operation.
*Homestar's ending segment which shows him and Marzipan driving towards the sunset is an homage to the [[Wikipedia:Sega|Sega]] racing title [[wikipedia:OutRun|OutRun]]. Its drawing style also resembles the arcade game [[wikipedia:Pole Position|Pole Position]].
*The insult power-downs may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Duke Nukem (computer game)|Duke Nukem]], where swear words are a powerup instead.
*Mills Bills were part of a [[Wikipedia:General Mills|General Mills]] cereal promotion in which cereal box tops could be collected and redeemed for money for a local school.
*This game is also a reference to an [[Atari 2600]] game called [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=173 Fast Food], with the junk food items replacing the purple pickles.

===Possible Names in Online Mode===
*There are several possible names that you can get as opponents in Online Mode. Each three-letter name includes a number following their name, while four-letter names do not.
**BAM
**BOB
**BSI
**[[DAN]]
**DING
**FMV
**FOOP
**GOB
**JAM
**JIM
**[[Nebulon|NEB]]
**[[Wikipedia: Pogs|POG]]
**QUA
**RIT
**SOT
**STAN
**TOD
*The following names were added in version 1.new.
**[[Wikipedia:Eight ball|8BAL]]
**FRUM
**[[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|GOBI]]
**GUMB
**JILL
**KOT8 (The King of Town, only available if playing as Homestar Runner)
**KSPE (Kid Speedy, only available if not playing as him)
**[[Lem Sportsinterviews|LEM]]
**PIGG

Hi! I'm BubsHeadStand.

== The Website and I ==
I've been a fan of Homestar Runner for a VERY long time. (Well, longer than most of my interests nowadays.) Here's a story of how I discovered it...(note that it's kinda fuzzy, but this is what I think happened.)

My brother has a friend who's also a fan of HSR. When he was staying over one night, I saw him watching what I think was [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]]. I asked him what it was, and he explained it to me. The next morning I visited the website for the first time and quickly became a fan. I've incorporated a lot of HR into my life.

== The Wiki and I ==
Believe it or not, I don't know how I discovered the wiki — only that it was about two years after I discovered the website. I have two speculations, however:

#I remember discovering the Wikipedia article on Homestar Runner before the HR wiki. (Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, Homestar Runner is fairly popular — it didn't take long to put two and two together.) It mentions the wiki on the article. After that, if this is what happened, I either searched for the wiki on Google or there used to be a link to the wiki and I followed it.
#On the article for [[First Time Here?]], it says homestarrunner.net redirects to the wiki. So, one day, I was probably feeling silly and wanted to see what happened if I typed in that URL. So I did, and I think you know what happens next.

I found the editing tab on the wiki pretty fun. Have you read in the "Goofs" section that The Ugly One has navy blue fingers and arms in issue 8? That was added by me.

== Bests and Worsts of HSR ==
I got this idea from [[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]]. (Please don't kill my legs!!!)

It's here! It's here! The Compy catalog is finally here! Just in time for Strong Bad, too. And [[Compé|his decision]] was bound to happen.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|The Poopsmith}}, {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|The Cheat}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Mailbox]], [[Strong Bad's Room]], [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[Computer Room]]

'''Date:''' Monday, August 3, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 3:48

'''Page Title:''' If it doesn't say Compy, it might not be a Computer.

==Transcript==
''{The Poopsmith opens Strong Bad's mailbox and puts a letter in it. He is wearing a postal uniform with a small picture of The Cheat on the shirt. He closes the mailbox and walks away. Birds can be heard in the background. Cut to Strong Bad's bedroom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's here!

''{Cut to The Cheat in the crisper drawer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's here!

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's finally here!

''{Music begins.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here!

''{Zoom in to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here! It's fina-lully here!

''{Zoom out to a full-body shot. A marching fanfare starts. Confetti shoots out from off-screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing and marching}'' There's no more time for expecta—

''{Strong Bad pokes his head in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! ''{disappears, and the marching fanfare stops}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That was the happiest I've ever been...

''{Cut to the mailbox. Strong Bad runs to it and grabs a slip of paper inside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've been waiting all dang year for this!

''{Zoom into a pamphlet that has the Compy logo on it, also saying "NEW PRODUCTS CATALOG". The yellow oval landscape-oriented yellow sticker with the year "2009" on it has been poorly pasted over the year "1989".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The 2009 Compy new products catalog!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' A new compy catalog is like Decemberween morning,—

''{A picture of a present pops up in a thought bubble above him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —my birthday,—

''{A bazooka pops up beside it; in a separate thought bubble (as will the following thought bubbles)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a candy store,—

''{A [[SBLOUNSKCHED]] bar pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and Strong Sad's funeral all wrapped together up in one piece of junk mail!

''{A party blower pops up next and blows. The clouds then make a pop sound and poof away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I can finally find a suitable replacement for the Lappy!

''{Strong Bad opens the catalog. Six laptops are on the first page, in various shades of tan. The text above the laptops reads "A rainbow of choices!" The text below it says "Fabulous flourescents!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, look at this new line of brightly colored Lappies! Neon Tan,—

''{A laptop of that color appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Gray Passion, Rodeo ''{pronounces like "ro-day-oh"}'' Beige, Italian Same, Glittery Taupe.

''{zoom out to a full body shot of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seems like these are more for those stylish ladies and the rat-dogs they— Wait. Did they just try to tell me ''same'' is a color?

''{Flips the page.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Our most family-friendly Compy ever,

''{Cut to a picture of a very large computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The roomy-vac is a computer for the entire household! Whoa! Comes with built-in printer,—

''{Cut to a zoom-in of a built-in printer with paper feeding out of it. The text "Built-in!" flashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —eight-inch monitor,—

''{Cut to a small monitor with a keyboard in front of it still built into the large computer. The text "Eight-in!" flashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —three bedroom, two-and-a-half bath!

''{A family appears in front of the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a front door for easy access!

''{A front door appears on the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading, monotone}'' The Roomy-Vac is a real powerHOUSE...get it? Oh, you don't? Well, because it's the size of a... Oh, you were kidding? You do get it? Pretty good, huh? No?

''{The price "$240,999.99" is below it but not read. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why would they print that whole exchange? Anyway, what else they got?

''{flips the page.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Do you have problems opening up digital pictures of your grandkids or taking four consecutive steps? Then have we got a Compy for you!

''{Cut to a computer. It appears to have a [[Needlepoint]] screen. The border of the screen is stylized in a wood finish, making the computer similar to a framed needlepoint. "Grampy Aught-Six" appears in a fantasy-font. There is a green power light on the bottom-left of the screen, and it has a stand similar to the [[Compy 386]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Grampy Aught-Six utilizes easy to read 400-point type!

''{As Strong Bad speaks, the letters "Dear Oldie," appear on the screen two letters at a time, scrolling with a clang sound.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Turning even the shortest email into an unforgettable all-day affair! And you'll never lose track of our new—

''{A very large arrow-shaped cursor appears on the screen.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' —meat-loaf sized cursor.

''{The cursor transforms into a pixelly meat loaf.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's ''shaped'' like meat loaf too!

''{Cut to a mouse.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Optional mouse, that is an—

''{The mouse transforms into an ''actual'' mouse.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —''actual'' mouse that will pre-chew your food for you, sold separately. ''{cut back to the Grampy Aught-Six}'' The Grampy Aught-Six.

''{Zoom out to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Because Piccadilly's not open 24 hours.

''{Flips the page, followed by a record scratch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my goodness, graphics. I like the looks of ''{high-pitched}'' thiis!

''{Cut to a picture of the [[Compé]] in the catalog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Compé, because flat-panel sophistication demands made-up words.

''{Further zoom on the Compé in the catalog. As Strong Bad talks, the camera goes across the top of the computer, starting at the right side and moving left. The screen is now blue, but no content is seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Compy Compé delivers European-sounding flair,—

''{Europe flies on the screen with the text "FLAIR" in it. There is then a popping sound and it reveals the computer again. It is now revealed that "compé" is on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with southeast-Asian-sounding prices.

''{Southeast Asia flies in with a dollar sign in it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My two most favorites!

''{Europe and Southeast Asia collide and explode with a boom, which eventually takes up the entire screen. Cut back to Strong Bad who tosses the catalog in the air, which lands page-down and open.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sooold! I'm gonna put my eighty thousand pennies in the mail right now!

''{Strong Bad tosses a very large bag onto the mailbox with the word "compé" written on it. There is a single stamp on the right corner. Some pennies fly out of the bag.}''

''{The following title screen is displayed:}''

<blockquote style="background:#000000;color:#ffff00;padding:10px;text-align:center;border:none;font-weight:bold;width:550px;">
2-4 weeks later...
</blockquote>

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at the desk with the Compé sitting on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Compé, that accent mark better not let me down!

''{He then turns it on by nudging his left boxing glove where the power light is located. The (pixelated) word "compé" fades in and slowly pops-out along with a white "spotlight". The computer sighs. "com" now appears in gold, with a pixelated shine, and the "pé" still appears in silver, but again with a pixelated shine. The accent on the é is shown to shimmers, which is also pixelated. The spotlights fades-out, while at one point "compé" is frozen on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So sleek. So-phisticated. So, Compé.

''{The logo shine left to right with the sound of a harp. Abruptly the Compé pulls up a [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning#System Errors|system error]], accompanied by the Compy 386 startup music, that reads the following:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#455FD8;border-color:#E2E2E2;text-align:center;">
FRAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR
 Your brand new computer is bloke.
 Please prepare to wait on hold
 with tech support for several hours.
 The current tech support smugness
 level is RED.
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—''{screams and stammers with frustration, accompanied by an increasingly loud buzzing sound}''

''{The computer laughs, and the words "i joké" appear on-screen, in the same manner as before. "i jo" appears in gold in the same way as earlier, and "ké" appears in silver as earlier. This time the logo slowly pops-in and fades-out. This continues as Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho. A wise guy, eh? I think you and me are gonna get along ''just fine'', Compé.

''{Cut to the picture of the Compé in the catalog.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{quietly}'' It's here! It's here! It's fina-lully here!

''{The party blower appears and blows.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Compé]]'s error message, "Fragrant System Error. Your brand new computer is bloke." is an example of R/L confusion that often characterizes [[Engrish]].
*Strong Bad's remark about the Compé being delivered with "southeast-Asian-sounding prices" is a reference to the relatively low market cost of goods exported from southeast-Asian countries such as [[Wikipedia:Indonesia|Indonesia]] because of the cheaper labor offered there.

=== Trivia ===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Short - Compy Catalog|RSS description]] of this toon reads "Unsolicited mail order catalogs are the best way to do ANYTHING."
*The description for the [[YouTube]] version reads: "the 2009 Compy new products catalog has finally arrived!"
*80,000 pennies is 800 [[Wikipedia:United States dollar|United States Dollars]].
**Eighty thousand pennies would also weigh roughly 450 pounds (204.12 kg).
**Shipping 450 pounds (204.12 kg) of pennies would cost approximately 320 US Dollars postage.
*When zoomed in, the card on the Decemberween present in Strong Bad's imagination reads:
<blockquote>TO: 
STRONG BAD 
FROM: 
MOM OR DAD</blockquote>
*The background music when Strong Bad is browsing through the catalog is a techno remix of the theme heard in [[animal]] when he describes the features of the Lappy, and again when he describes the Steaky Steaky-6 sandwich in [[hremail3184]].
*The name "Grampy Aught-Six" may be a reference to the .30-06 (pronounced "thirty-aught-six") ammunition used in some semi-automatic rifles including the M1 Garand.

===Remarks===
*Assuming the laptop's screen hinges are facing upward, when opened, the Compy logo would be upside down. This may be a reference to older laptops, which always put the logo facing the user when closed. The practice of placing the logo upside-down to the user, to advertise the brand when the machine is open and in use, is a somewhat recent development.
*The catalog showed six different colored laptops on one page, but five are shown individually.
*Big parts of Europe are missing in the schematic "FLAIR" map, namely eastern and southeastern Europe and Scandinavia (except Denmark) as well as several bigger islands.
*In shots of the Compé advertisement, the base and keyboard are not reflected.
*The green light on the Compé in the catalog is noticeably larger than it is when Strong Bad uses it.
*Although the catalog is officially listed as "[[1989]]", the Compé appears to be quite a modern computer.
*Despite Strong Bad having just read about the Compé, his bag of 80,000 pennies was already labeled "Compé".

===Goofs===
*Fluorescent is misspelled in the first page of the catalog.
*Strong Bad's right arm is missing the second and third times he turns the page.
*When Strong Bad's thought bubbles come up, the [[Decemberween]] present overlaps Strong Bad's "Birthday Bubble".

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad mentions a candy store, a [[SBLOUNSKCHED! bar]] appears.
**The SBLOUNSKCHED! bar is shaped in the "standard piece-of-crap shape" instead of its usual Strong Bad's pants shape.
*Strong Bad mentions [[Decemberween]] and [[Strong Sad's Death|Strong Sad's funeral]].
*The Cheat is lying in the [[crisper drawer]].
*[[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|The Cheat]] both smile in this cartoon.
*Strong Bad greeted [[The King of Town]] with "Dear Oldie" in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Strong Bad pulls his eighty thousand pennies out of [[hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad uses the word "graphics" like a [[swear]], similar to how the [[Videlectrix Guys]] do on the [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD#Easter Eggs|SBCG4AP Collector's DVD menu Easter egg]].
*Strong Bad previously said "A wise guy, eh?" to the [[Compy 386]] in [[virus]], although it was meant negatively there and positively here.
*The "sb_snailmail.exe" mailbox first appeared in the email [[other days]].
*An [[explosion]] is seen when "European Flair" and "Southeast Asian Prices" collide.
*The Compé's fragrant system error references the [[Compy 386]]'s errors, such as in [[50 emails]] and [[virus]].
**It also references how often [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|Strong Bad's computers break]].
*"i joké" is another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
*The [[Strong Bad's Bazooka|bazooka]] which appears when Strong Bad says "Birthday" first appeared in [[the movies]].
*The Decemberween present in Strong Bad's imagination is made by [[Parents|his mother or his father]].

===Real-World References===
[[File:mailman_compare.png|thumb|Poopsmith dressed as the Postman.]]
*The Poopsmith is dressed as the Postman from [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, except with images of The Cheat on the hat and belt, instead of a bunny head.
*[[Wikipedia:Piccadilly Cafeterias|Piccadilly]] is a cafeteria chain.
* The Roomy-Vac is a take off on [[Wikipedia: UNIVAC I|UNIVAC]], the first commercial computer. Early computers would usually occupy entire rooms or even buildings.
*The current tech support smugness level is a reference to the United States' [[Wikipedia: Homeland Security Advisory System|levels of national security]] (the highest level of which is red).
*The name "Compé" reflects a recent [[McDonald's]] ad campaign for its [[Wikipedia: McCafé|McCafé]]. In the ads, every noun is accented like the word café.
**It may also be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:SAM Coupé|SAM Coupé]] line of European computers by Miles Gordon Technology.
*Strong Bad's exclamation of "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" is a catchphrase frequently used by [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe]] of [[The Three Stooges]].
*The Compé's sigh upon booting up may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]], imitating the doors on the Heart of Gold.

==The Three Keepers' Messages==
There are several messages that the game may return while [[Rather Dashing]] is answering questions of [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor]]. The simplest way to complete this part of the game is to bribe the Keepers; the messages returned in this case are listed [[Peasant's Quest Responses#bribery_route|above]]. If Rather Dashing has not acquired the three items necessary to bribe the Keepers, however, he must answer a question from each of them. The messages returned while answering their questions are listed here.

After each Keeper's introductory message, at the command "take the quiz", the game responds: You shake off the Keeper of Trogdor's request. Seriously - this guy should get a job.

===The First Keeper===
====Introductory Message====
How dare you enter this fairly sacred chamber! You explain that you're here to smote Trogdor and if he doesn't get outta your way, him too! You cannot vanquish Trogdor! Only the Three Keepers of Trogdor hold the tools with which to destroy the Burninator. The Trog-Shield, the Trog-Helmet, and the Trog-Sword. And the only way we'll give them up is if you answer the three Trog-Trivia questions correctly.
====Possible Questions====
''The First Keeper will ask you one of the following questions (the correct answer is '''bolded'''):''
:Okay here goes. What did you win from the Archery game?
:A. SuperBow FunTime TM
:'''B. SuperTime FunBow TM'''
:C. SuperFun BowTime TM
 
:Okay here goes. What does Mendelev have you tell Dongolev?
:'''A. Haldo'''
:B. Hallo
:C. Allo
 
:Okay here goes. What is the only creature the Jhonka fears?
:A. Poor Gary
:B. The Baby
:'''C. The Kerrek'''

====Response to Correct Answer====
"Ah crap! You're right. Here, take this stupid Trog-Shield!"
====Response to Incorrect Answer====
"Sorry peasant! You fail! And as punishment, you will be turned into...RON CUMBERDALE!!"
 
You ask who the crap Ron Cumberdale is.
 
"Just this kid from 4th grade that I really hated. But he was a BIG LOSER and HE SMELLED!"
 
Well, you not exactly dead. But there's no way you could defeat Trogdor as Ron Cumberdale. Your quest ends here. Thanks for playing.

===The Second Keeper===
====Introductory Message====
Hold, peasant! You must answer the second dreaded Trog-Trivia question!
====Possible Questions====
:Listen careful now. Which one of these letters is the letter C?
:A. B
:'''B. C'''
:C. A
 
:Listen careful now. How many berry bushes are there in the whole kingdom of Peasantry?
:A. 4
:'''B. 5'''
:C. 6
 
:Listen careful now. What was the Innkeeper's pantry full of?
:A. Epsom Salts
:B. Epson Printers
:'''C. Old Man Rub'''
====Response to Correct Answer====
"That's right. Oh. This sucks. Guess I have to give you this Trog-Helmet. Dang."
====Response to Incorrect Answer====
"WRONG! You are hereby cursed to write corny folk songs for the rest of eternity! The kind that only OLD PEOPLE LIKE!!"
 
Well, you not exactly dead. But you certainly can't face Trogdor after writing 'Wheat Grows Sweet, But My Gal's Sweeter'. Your quest ends here. Thanks for playing.

===The Third Keeper===
====Introductory Message====
Think you're pretty hot stuff, eh? Let's see you answer the deadly and pretty impossible THIRD TROG-TRIVIA QUESTION!
====Possible Questions====
:Riddle me this. To whom did the robe you're wearing originally belong?
:A. Nobleman Nicholas
:B. Nina Neverawesome
:'''C. Naked Ned'''
 
:Riddle me this. What color are the leaves on the tree that grows by the well?
:'''A. Orange'''
:B. Green
:C. Yellow
 
:Riddle me this. Which way does the river that runs through Peasantry flow?
:A. West to East
:B. Northwest to South
:'''C. Northeast to Southwest'''
====Response to Correct Answer====
"Uh oh. You got it right. Trogdor's gonna kill me. Okay, you can have the Trog-Sword. Just promise not to kill any Trogdor's with it, kay?"
 
You just stare at the Keeper blankly.
 
"Okay fine! You can have the dumb thing anyways. Trogdor's through the beaded curtain over there."
 
The fabled Trog-Sword is yours. You now have the means to strike down Trogdor. Good luck, peasant.
====Response to Incorrect Answer====
YES! I was hoping you'd get mine wrong. No Trog-Sword for you. In fact, no skin for you either!
 
Wow. You sure dead. You had a good run, though. Thanks for playin.

''Note: if you fail to provide "A", "B", or "C" as an answer to any of the above questions, the Keeper will ask the question again, replacing the first sentence with the following one:'' Peasant fool! Choose A, B, or C!

There are many messages that the game gives you when you input commands that are not essential to the game's storyline. Here is a list of all that have been found. When more than one option is given, such as "get/take _____", either word will produce the same response.

{{compactTOC3}}
{{clear}}
===#===

===A===
*'''"Ask about _____":'''
**'''Baby:'''
***(to Baby Lady) - "This little guy's all I got left. If only someone would steal back all our riches from that filthy Jhonka."
**'''Fire:'''
***(to knight) - "Well, whenever I see peasants, they tend to be on fire. So get yourself on fire. I hear horse grease gives a nice, controlled burn."
***(to baby lady) - "You need fire? A couple of trees over by the waterfall used to be on fire. But now there's like a signal lantern over there or something." / "So should I ask that signal lantern?" you ask. / "I dunno man! Whattaya want from me?"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Trogdor just burned down some idiot peasant's cottage. You should ask him," says Mendelev. / "Yeah, this jerk goes on vacation to some prancey lake and..." / They see you staring daggers at them and turn bright red. / "Oh. Nevermind," says Dongolev. "Um, yeah. What's a fire?" adds Mendelwhatever.
***(to Jhonka) - "Burninator make fire! Barbecue all peasants!"
***(to innkeeper) - "I've always preferred being on fire at night. Looks prettier and keeps the butterflies away."
**'''Jhonka:'''
***(to knight) - "Since the Kerrek showed up, we don't see the Jhonka so much anymore. He lives in that little cave over in west Peasantry."
***(to Baby Lady) - "That nasty thing killed my husband and took my riches!!" / "I thought Trogdor killed your husband," you interject. / "Oh right. Yeah. That's what I said. Trogband killed my husbdor."
***(to Jhonka) - "The Kerrek is dead!" he cries and hops around some more. You wonder how someone this primitive could have made that much dough.
**'''Kerrek:'''
***(to knight) - "I call him Big Stinky. He's slow and stupid, but he'll pound you into milks meat without a second thought."
**'''Naked Ned:'''
***(to knight) - "That weirdo used to live over in west Peasantry but now I guess he just prances around the forest in his birthday suit."
***(to baby lady) - "Don't talk about that pervert in front of the baby here."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "That guy creeps us out. In fact, shut up about him."
***(to Jhonka) - "Filthy naked peasant! Stay away from my cave-hole!" Who's he calling naked? HE'S the one wearing the string bikini.
***(to innkeeper) - "He used to be such a nice, clothed young man. Wonder what he's done with all his old clothes?"
**'''robe:'''
***(to knight) - "Peasants wear those brown robes. You know, with the rope around the waist. Get yourself one of those."
***(to baby lady) - "You can't have mine, pervert! I'm not a nudist peasant like that weirdo over in west Peasantry!"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "We wouldn't know. We only wear archer clothes. You just can't arch real well in a robe, y'know?"
***(to Jhonka) - ''see naked ned''
***(to innkeeper) - "I wear my robe hood-down so it's easier to trim my ear-hairs. If you need a robe, maybe try someone that's not using theirs."
**'''smell:'''
***(to knight) - "I never met a peasant that didn't stink. If you wanna smell bad, get the Kerrek involved. That thing reeks!"
***(to baby lady) - "What smells is junior here's drawers! I gotta quit feeding him so much horse!" / "And don't start asking me for his diapers, sicko!"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "That giant pig running around sure smells bad. Maybe talk to him."
***(to Jhonka) - "Kerrek smell! Now Kerrek dead!" screeches the Jhonka. So you can infer from this that all smells are dead? You always sucked at the analytical questions.
***(to innkeeper) - "Well, if you don't stink, maybe find something that does and wear it. Like a dead carcass or summat."
**'''trogdor:'''
***(to knight) - "If I had a gold coin for every whining peasant's cottage that freaking dragon burninated, I'd be rich as a jhonka."
***(to baby lady) - "I hope you kill that stupid dragon. My 'Wives of Squished Peasants' support group would bake you a Poor Gary pie if you did."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Oh man, there was this one time when I came THIS close to having Trogdor ARROWED!" says Dongolev. / "Hey, shut up! That was me!" interrupts Mendelev, "YOU almost arrowed that blue baby!" says Dongolev. / "Did not!" / "Did so!" / "Did not!" / (You see where this is going.)
***(to Jhonka) - "All hail Burninator! Trogdor Number One! Beat Peasant Tech!" says the grimy Jhonka.
***(to innkeeper) - "Are you talking about that young green boy that lives up the street? He's always tearing my roof off and eating my customers."
**'''anything else:'''
***(to knight) - "I don't know anything about that, short pants."
***(to baby lady) - "I dunno what you're talking about."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Either we don't know anything about that, or you're real boring."
***(to Jhonka) - "Jhonka don't know nothing bout that!"
***(to innkeeper) - "I don't know nothing about no whatever you just said."
***(anywhere else) - "Ask about what?"
: * - You can only ask Mendelev and Dongolev when they're together.
*'''"attack _____":'''
**'''"sign"''' (at the Mountain Pass) - "I was being facetious, Mr. Smarty-short-pants. No sign attacking for you."
**'''"trogdor''' (while Trogdor's asleep, in his lair) - "Like how?"

===B===
*'''"boo"''' (anywhere) - "Scared me."
*'''"break/kick/punch door"''' (at Outside mysterious cottage) - "Violence is not the answer."

**'''"jhonka"''' (while inside the hay) - "Not now! You'll blow your cover!"
**'''"kerrek"''' (in the Kerrek's domain while he is alive) - "Me llamo Julio,' you begin... It seems only to further anger the already temperamental Kerrek. That stupid 'Learn Kerrek in 3 Weeks' cassette did nothing for you!"

**'''"feed"'''
***(at the east side of the lake before getting the feed) - "You have nothing with which to do that...with."
***(at the east side of the lake after throwing the feed) - "You already fed the fish. Let's get moving here, people!You already fed the fish. Let's get moving here, people!" (The repetition is probably just a goof.)

*'''(Walk in the path of Dongolev's arrows)''' - Hopefully this guy will have some sense and not shoot you. ''{Dongolev shoots you in the head}'' That guy has no sense. He shot you. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Nice one, William Tell. You dead. Thanks for playing.

Talk:Cheat Commandos: 2 Part Episode: Part 1

2011-08-17T03:46:29Z

BubsHeadStand: /* Buh-buh-buh, wuh-wuh-wuh, zuh-zuh-zuh... */

==Doppel or Toppel==
The transcript uses the actual word doppelganger, while the inside reference is to the Toppelgangers. Is the transcript wromg? -[[Special:Contributions/173.3.112.55|173.3.112.55]] 13:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:I thought it sounded like "toppleganger" when I was transcribing it, but I'd forgotten about [[The Topplegangers]], so I figured I was just mishearing. But I wasn't, Toppleganger is right, and I've already fixed the transcript as soon as I saw the inside ref. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Get back to work, guys. ==

I think Reynolds brother says "Get back to work, Charles." and don't we already know that Charles is Gunhaver's first name from [[let us give tanks]]? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Sounds reasonable to me. Listening again, I hear "Charles" too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Does this mean... ==
...that next week there is gonna be another Cheat Commando's? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
: Given the [[retirement|last time]] we had a two-part toon? Might be tomorrow. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== white screen ==

<blockquote>A decompiler, a Flash Seek Bookmarklet, or the Greasemonkey script reveals a white screen before the TV Easter egg can be accessed.</blockquote>

I removed this from the ''Easter Eggs'' section, because that's certainly not the right place for it. I considered placing it elsewhere on the page, but decided not to because it doesn't seem that notable. The [[HRWiki:Standards]] as I interpret them, seems we don't mention such things unless they are clearly meant to be discovered and/or add something relevant to the cartoon (E.g. [[:Image:Dodongo.png|"Nice try, dodongo"]] and [[:Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|—by Strong Bab]]). Just thought I'd mention my rationale here, if others feel that it really deserves a mention in the article, I don't have a strong opinion against that. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 19:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
::Things like this have been remarked before, such as the [[mile|dancing feet]] or the extra frames in [[Not the 100th Email!!!|Not the Hundredth E-mail]]. -[[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 21:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Doorbell ==

Does anyone know the name of the "ditty" that the doorbell plays? I know that it is commonly used to depict a ringing doorbell, but I don't want to add it to the real-world references section without knowing the name. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 21:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:See [[wikipedia:Westminster Quarters]] (added a note under Remarks). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:: Why isn't this considered a Real-World Ref? [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:::In my opinion, it belongs under Explanations because it's not referring to any specific clock (or doorbell). That tune is ''very'' commonly used for clocks and doorbells. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

::::But look at [[Donut Unto Others]]. A common tune was used in that toon as well, and that was put in Real World Refs. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah guys, that doorbell was totally awesome! It sounds familiar though. [[User:Fingerface|Fingerface]] 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== With a vengeance ==

The credits say this show was "written with a vengeance by A.Chimendez". We already know he and Crack Stuntman have creative differences and that Gunhaver was nearly written off the show because of it. Now, in this episode, Gunhaver is fired. Am I on to something? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]] 02:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think you're right. This needs to be discussed further. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== All Ashore ==

*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral Admiral] is the highest rank in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy naval force], which makes it interesting that Flashfight takes charge of the Cheat Commandos, considering they're mostly ground-based forces.

Is this worth pointing out somewhere? --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 09:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

: For shore (please don't make fun of that pun). --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 10:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

::All of the contents of this cartoon suggest that the Cheat Commandos are administered by BE(E)FF, which is probably an international organization. The fact that Admiral Flashfight and Fightgar both seem to be British and Ripberger has an accent would jive with this, too. And, such an international organization could involve a collaboration among various armed services (Flashfight coming from a Navy, Crackotage coming from an Air Force?). Meh? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 06:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== 3 for 1 ==

The Cheat Commandos ththeme song goes "Cheat Commandos, maybe fighting for freedom, and each is sold separately. Cheat Commandos, they're probably battling evil. Buy all our playsets and toys!"
Is it notable that Green Helmts are 3-for-11, but their theme song says "each is sold separately." [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's notable that although the Green Helmets are part of a "discount three pack", they cost the same as any other CCdo. Although, come to think of it, three for the price of one is a bargain. {{User:Neox/sig}} 16:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Don't forget, that the Green Helmet is analogous to a redshirt on the original Star Trek (i.e. expendable), so, naturally they'd be cheaper. [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 18:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Opps! Sorry. I meant 3 for 1, as in them not being sold separately, where the theme song says "each is sold separately" However, but they're Green Helmets, so maybe they're not like the rest. [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gasp! ==

For some reason, I can only hear Fightgar gasping during the scene when Flashfight fires people. Anyone else? -[[Special:Contributions/76.119.99.198|76.119.99.198]]

== Section? ==

I honestly don't know what section this one belongs in, but...
During the scene where Gunhaver, Silent Rip, and Crackotage are talking outside the headquarters, Gunhaver's face can be seen painted on the door, along with a word bubble reading, "Rock, rock on!"
... Actually, is this even notable enough to be put in?
:The best place for this information is in the transcript itself. Why not go ahead and add it there? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 14:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== Extra Melty? ==

Isn't that a reference to the Meltymens? [[User:DJmankiewicz|DJmankiewicz]] 13:21, 2 June 2009 (CST)
: Meaning the fan stuff thing? Granted there are three of them in that, too, but I think this is more likely just a reference to practice of melting action figures like G. I. Joes. Probably not a deliberate connection. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 19:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
:: I think is's a reference to [[8-Bit is Enough]] where Strong Bad comments that he thinks the Topplegangers would be "Real Melty". [[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 02:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

== Oh yeah! Them. ==

I beleive the way Crackotage goes into great detail about the Topplegangers refers to the way many cartoons introduce recurring characters to new audiences or to make a new character(s) seem old: way drawn out and pointlessly explanatory. Example:

*'''Itchy''' : Hey look Scratchy, its our old friend, Poochy!

*'''Scratchy''': What's his name? I forgot.

*'''Poochie''': {does a rap about himself}

source: The Simpsons: The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochy Show.

See what I mean? I just don't know how to word this so it makes sense in the article. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

:Well, exposition has to happen to some degree in ''all'' fiction, and there are only so many ways to do it. I don't see how this case is a reference to any other instance of it. It doesn't really even seem to be poking fun at the sometimes-ridiculous expository dumps that happen pretty often in serial cartoons / sitcoms / etc. It's just TBC using a little humorous dialog as a way of legitimately needed exposition for us, much the same way any other fiction would. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Right-Click Menu ==

You can rewind!!!!! GASP! {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah... You can do that in all of the flash files. It's nothing, really. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 15:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
::I meant on the actual site page, not the SWF file itself. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 19:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

== g focrei s same execpt for the bad resturant deal ==

Homestar saying hamsters instend of chat is Disney movie G-Force
:You're saying that Homestar confusing the words "cheat" and "hamster" is from the Disney movie G-Force? Well, I've never seen the movie (and even if I had, I wouldn't remember one line), but feel free to add it! {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

== Crackotage NOT Rhyming? ==

Did anyone else notice how at the end of the toon, Crackotage doesn't even pretend to rhyme? I mean, even in Commandos in the Classroom, he still talked with a funny rhythm like he normally does, but here he actually speaks normally every scene after they're kicked out of the Cheat Commandos.--[[Special:Contributions/76.197.56.155|76.197.56.155]] 06:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:Hmm, you're right, but I'm not sure it's noteworthy. Is rhyming, like, part of his job?? I don't know. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:: I sar that too. I've never seen that guy not rhyming.

== Homestar's Brim ==
Is it just me, or does the brim of Homestar's hat in the easter egg look odd? [[User:Man-o-man|Man-o-man]] 17:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

== Flash file deleted? ==

I tried to watch this 'toon, but it just showed a white square and the navigation bar under it. When I tried to go to the flash file, it just led me to the "404'd" page. Did TBC delete the flash file? I'm pretty sure that this isn't because of my computer because when I went to [[2 Part Episode: Part 2]], it showed the 'toon. --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 00:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:It's not just your computer. It's not loading for me either, and 404'd for the Flash File. Does this mean that they're going to combine the episodes? I dunno. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 00:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

It has been [[Talk:Quote_of_the_Week#Quote_download|theorized before]] that the H*R site is hosted on multiple servers, with a load balancer to distribute between them. I think this is a pretty likely theory, and if the file was for some reason removed from one of the servers but not the other(s), that would explain why it randomly works for some people but not others. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== Blue Laser, A DAD? ==

In the second easter egg with the Blue Laser minions

BLUE LASER MINION 2: You know he doesn't like it when we call him that.

Do you think that It's true?

:I think it's relevant to address the question here, as if the egg implied he actually was a father, we'd want to at least note it on BLC's page.

I see a different connection in this. Could these two minions be "The Twins" from [[Shopping For Danger]]? And if so, does that make them around four years old? And if so, does that mean that The Cheat species can mature much faster than humans can?

It should be significant that when Gunhaver says "wuh-wuh-wuh" he holds his arms up like a W, and when he says "zuh-zuh-zuh" he bends them like a Z. The joke doesn't make sense if he's just ''{shaking}''. {{unsigned|96.234.74.23|23:13, 25 October 2009}}

Hi! I'm BubsHeadStand.

I've been a fan of Homestar Runner for a VERY long time. Here's a story of how I discovered it...(note that it's kinda fuzzy, but this is what I think happened.)

My brother has a friend who's also a fan of HSR. When he was staying over one night, I saw him watching what I think was [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]]. I asked him what it was, and he explained it to me. The next morning I visited the website for the first time and quickly became a fan. Two years later, I discovered the HR Wiki.

I found the editing tab on the wiki pretty fun. Have you read in the "Goofs" section that The Ugly One has navy blue fingers and arms in issue 8? That was added by me.

Believe it or not, this isn't my first account on HR Wiki. In fact, this is my THIRD. A couple years ago, I decided to register, and I got accepted. Unfortunately, I couldn't log in anymore because of a typo in my password which I couldn't figure out. Then, I tried again, but I didn't really do anything. And, a couple months ago, I logged on as BubsHeadStand.

So, there's my story.

== Bests and Worsts of HSR ==
I got this idea from [[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]]. (Please don't kill my legs!!!)

== My Sigs ==
[[User:BubsHeadStand/sig|Check 'em out!]]

== About me ==
*I have a sister and a half-brother, though I always call him my "brother."
*My sister and I are pure Americans (we were born in the US), but my parents and brother immigrated.
*I'm normally antisocial, so if you see me, don't be surprised if I ignore you.
*I'm "unilingal" (aka I only speak one language), but I'm interested in learning German and Japanese.
*I don't swear. Family rule.

== How You Know You're Addicted to Homestar Runner ==
*You're taking a personality quiz and you see so many answers that obviously refer to a certain character and you can't help but say the name out loud.
*You see a joke that relates to HSR and you can't stop looking at it and laughing.
*You sign onto a website that allows you to create sheet music and listen to it and the first one you do is [[Theme Song Video|a Homestar Runner song]].
*You accidentally type in the URL for the HR Wiki when you want to go to Google to look up something.
*You get [[Experimental Film|a Homestar Runner song]] stuck in you head and you can't stop singing it.
*You decide to draw during free time at school. 'Nuff said.
*Your favorite exclamation is [[Compy Catalog|"Oh my goodness graphics."]]
*You say things differently in you head than you do out loud:
**You read this: ______ as Strong Bad's "blank" in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
**You occasionally read "Colonel" as "[[Homestar Runner|Col-o-nel]]."
**You read "cacao" as the King of Town said it in the [[nightlife]] Easter egg.

:::::::::::::: I think it is Davey. The puppet vesion and his voice are just side-affects of putting The Cheat in charge of making the intro.

:::::::::::::::I think it goes like this: Davey is singing the song but since this is an anmiated music video, the character seen singing and playing guitar (the dude from [[for kids]]) isn't necessarily the actual person singing (Davey). The Cheat just used the graphics from the imaginary kids' show (I wonder where he got imaginary graphics from) for the video. Think of the videos of The Gorillaz for example, where it's also cartoon characters standing in for the actual musicians. Just my opinion, but I think it's a solution to this dilemma.--[[Special:Contributions/79.221.92.78|79.221.92.78]] 15:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

:The "brick at your cellist" line is higher quality for sure. Don't know about the rest, though. [[User:NMRodo|NMRodo]] 21:45, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't the title, "Davey Gets His Due" sound similar to Main Page 25's Toons quote, "The Puppets get their due"? [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]][[User_Talk:Atarifanatic|fanatic]][[Image:atarifanatic_sig.png|Atari controller]] 21:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

== Haddi-man ==

The title card for the song says "dir: Haddi-man and The Cheat. In for kids, homsar's show is titled 'Waddya know, Haddi-man?' Could this mean homsar helped direct this video? [[User:FugitiveofPhysics|FugitiveofPhysics]] 21:39, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

At the beginning of the mountain scene, doesn't it seem like we've seen those pixelated lightning bolts before? - [[User:FugitiveofPhysics|FugitiveofPhysics]] 21:43, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

:Care to explain? (Signed out Open SOurce Greg)
:: I believe he's referring to this line: "STRONG BAD: ''Awwwwwwww!'' I thought you were done." It's more of an "''Aaaauuuuuuuuuuuugh!''" actually. Sounds like a gutterance to me. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 17:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

==Powered by the cheat?==
I do not think this should be sorted under powered by the cheat. If there was a category for the brothers chaps experimenting with lcd I think this would fit rite in.[[Special:Contributions/96.242.156.142|96.242.156.142]] 17:02, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
: That's where it's filed in the Toons menu on the official site. Besides, it's got a PbTC intro and bridge. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:03, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Oh, Hey you guys... ==

which one of the ol' Supreme Giant Boys akshully sing this? Cuz it doesn't sound like any of the awesome Maybe their Giants band!
:Um... I'm pretty sure the main voice is John Linnel, and the second voice is John Flansburgh... unless you meant something else.[[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 07:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
awesome,thanks.

== Howd he do that? ==

Should it be noted that Davie's gitar has no strings? {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 00:04, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
:No. This is a PBTC toon, which means it uses a simpler, more abstract and even more absurdist style than cartoons set in the actual Homestar universe. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 01:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
:: The only PbTC segments are the intro and the bridge. The singer through most of the song is not PbTC-style (most of the time.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Fair enough, but the haddi-man segments aren't exactly "realistic" even by sbemail standards, themselves. The man's guitar didn't have any strings in [[for kids]], either. Was it notable then? [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 02:34, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

== Charlie? ==

Does anyone else think that there might be some kind of reference to Charlie the Unicorn? Or is that wishful thinking on my part? - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]]

: considering they never mention the name 'Charlie', Just Unicorns doesn't mean it's a reference to him, or any specific unicorn. [[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]] 02:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

:: I kind of figured that, but I wanted to bring it up anyway. I've seen only the "Candy Mountain" one (I've heard there are others?), but it's been a while and I thought the rainbow bridge thing sounded familiar. If a rainbow bridge hasn't been featured in something with Charlie, it should be. - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 02:45, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

::: Rainbows and unicorns go together like sparkles and... unicorns. They just go together. And if you're looking for the conceptual origin of a rainbow bridge, you're going to have to go [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_mythology a lot farther back] than Charlie the Unicorn.

:::: Good point. Thinking about it further, I suspect the real reason it seemed familiar is because of the "sweet, sweet, rainbow bridge" in [[flashback]], which is probably too much of a stretch to cite as an internal reference. - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 10:53, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

== Sierra Presents Chernabog ==

Isn't this one of the "it can't be both" cases? -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.119|128.103.10.119]] 03:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Ca_edg6RE Chernabog]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS-51GfFRGo Quest For Glory II]. Compare for yourself. Which is more similar? [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 04:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
::To me, the Chernabog seems more likely. The Chernabog comes from Slavonic legend, doesn't he? The metal sequence just oozes European metal. He also commands his subordinates with wild arm gestures and black magic. Strong Bad seems to grant French Fries in the same way. The Night on Bald Mountain sequence just seems more well known and fits with the semi-Germanic theme going on. The djinn is Arabic, a far cry from the European countries, and well, let's face it... the djinn doesn't do a lot. He just laughs. To me, Chernabog is the way to go.

:::Also, Fantasia is known for it's opera and classical music, which goes well with the Brunnhilde reference. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 19:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
::::Yeah, but TBC are known to throw in references to old games in their work, and Strong Bad in the French Fries sequence does look a lot like the djinni... more so than Chernabog (who is shadow-black and has huge wings). Fantasia is definitely a better known reference, and Chernabog itself is awesomely metal, so I'm on the fence, here. I can see a solid case for either.[[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 05:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== Does anyone want an OGG of this? ==

I cut out part of the podcast (this entire song) and converted it to OGG, for those who can't play MP3s due to patent restrictions disallowing you to play MP3s. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 00:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:I think it would be nice if you just upload it onto the Wiki. Just in case anyone wants to have the song as their own.--[[Special:Contributions/70.176.220.156|70.176.220.156]] 23:15, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::Except don't. It's not our file to do with as we please. It's one thing to bend the rules of fair use with TBC's images, but what liberties they afford us don't extend to TMBG's copyrighted music. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

== Sentence Quality ==

This sentence in Explanations has issues: 
:''This song comes from They Might Be Giants Podcast 37A, during which John Flansburgh also mentions hoping to make this into something on homestarrunner.com, which, eleven months later, it has.'' 
Specifically, "it has" is ambiguous. What is "it," and what has it done? This isn't meant to be rude to the person who wrote it, but I'm not sure the best way to fix it. It would technically work with, "..., he has," but I'm not sure that's the best phrasing. It could also work with, "which happened eleven months later." Maybe just leave off everything after homestarrunner.com?[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 12:21, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:... The use of "it" is by far the least of this sentence's problems. Run-on sentence, mis-ordered clauses, terrible punctuation, no tense agreement, no verb agreement. It's barely got noun agreement. I'd attempt a rewrite, but late at night right now, so I'm not sure I could make anything much more coherent. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 13:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::How about:<blockquote>This song comes from [[They Might Be Giants]] [[TMBW:Podcast 37A|Podcast 37A]], which was released eleven months before this toon. During the podcast, John Flansburgh mentions that the song is "hopefully going to be made into something with Homestar."</blockquote>I think that reads a lot better, and has all the same information. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Ooo, yah, that flows much better. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:52, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

== Smiling Strong Bad? ==

It looks like Strong Bad smiles briefly in Haddi-Man form when he threatens to melt the guitarist's face. Thoughts? --[[User:HungryHungryHippy|HungryHungryHippy]] 20:31, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
: It sure does look like it. I'm gonna add it now. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 20:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::While his mouth is in the shape of a smile, it just looks to me like he's saying the word "face". --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:50, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:::I doubt it Jellote/Hippy. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:03, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:::: Maybe it's just me, but smiling strong bad article is starting to bug the crap out of me. When it started, it wasn't that common, but these days really just a facial expression! It shows up every time Strong Bad is happy or amused, and he very often is!! {{User:Haldo/sig}}

== Lack of visible arms ==

Is the fact that the 'Other Guy' (blue shirt) seems to be holding the french fries without arms worthy of noticing?
:I'm not sure, given that it's Powered by The Cheat art. Since we don't see a more standard version of him, and since PbTC is [[:File:poweredcoachz1.png|not an accurate depiction of reality]], I'm not sure how much we can say for certain. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

== Cellista ==

This has been suggested by multiple users (well, two anonnies; they could actually be the same person): No, Strong Bad is not saying the word "celesta". "Celesta" begins with an "S" sound and has the accent on the second syllable. "Cellist" begins with a "CH" sound and has the accent on the first syllable (as a former cellist, I'd know). Strong Bad's pronunciation matches "cellist" exactly. Furthermore, the song has a pretty clear cello in the second verse. I don't believe a celesta is heard anywhere in the song. Yeah, he hits a piano. Just pretend that he missed the cellist, because "celesta" just simply does not fit. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
:Additionally, a breaking piano sound is probably both easier to find and to recognise. Imagine if they did somehow find a breaking cello sound. How would we know that from some other noise? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
::I agree (though I'm quick to point out that "celesta", being an Italian-based spelling, ''can'' be pronounced with a "ch"). Nonetheless, the syllable accent makes it clearly "cellist". Incidentally, I think it's perfectly possible that Strong Bad said "cellist" having no idea who he was throwing a brick at, since (1.) there's not exactly anything in this song that would suggest a cellist is playing at all and (2.) SB's style, which is mainly about squeedlies and meedlies, probably doesn't lead him to know or care that much about classical instruments. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
:::"there's not exactly anything in this song that would suggest a cellist is playing at all" Um, you mean ''other than'' the obvious cello playing counterpoint in the second verse? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
::::Hmm, I guess that could be a cello... I guess I'm just not easily convinced by electronic instrument sounds, 'cause it doesn't sound much like one to me. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:15, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

== Who a- Who are you? ==

I'm pretty sure Strong Bad says "Who a- Who are you?", not Wh-Who are you? Also, the caption for the picture on this page is different to the transcript. [[Special:Contributions/220.235.195.186|220.235.195.186]] 03:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

The animation, particularly his face, when Strong Bad is seen atop the volcano, reminds me of something. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 16:50, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
