''{Mike and Matt Chapman are sitting in a room with a wooden wall, below a picture of Homestar.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Hi, welcome back. Here we are in the bonus section of the DVD. This segment is called "Exaggerations". This—

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' This is a little something we were going to put on the website some years ago. We made a few of them. We decided maybe they weren't ready for mass consumption.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Not quite.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' So we'd, um, shove them onto a DVD somewhere down the line, maybe.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So what we're gonna show you here is the original line, and then some exaggerated crazy versions that you guys are— you guys are— you're gonna love.

''{The screen displays "the original", and then cuts to Homestar Runner and Pom Pom in Marshmallow's Last Stand, as in Marshmallow's Last Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These are some great marshmallows, eh Pom Pom?

''{The screen displays "exaggeration 1". When it cuts back, Homestar and Pom Pom are drawn as bad caricatures. Instead of marshmallows, they have coffee cups sitting on a table actually made out of the word "TABLE", and a picture in the background displays the words "a joke". The only other object in the room is a large gray rectangle behind Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{falsetto, sounding nothing like Homestar}'' Dese are some great marshmallows, eh Pom Pom?

''{The screen displays "exaggeration 2". It cuts back to the very same scene as before.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in an only slightly-exaggerated version of his regular voice}'' These are some— ''{moves upwards, revealing that he has no legs}'' These are some— ''{moves downwards and closer to Pom Pom}'' These are some— ''{moves up even higher than before, still close to Pom Pom}'' These are some... ''{moves into Pom Pom's lap}'' Glade PlugIns, Tom Tom.

''{The screen displays "exaggeration 3". This shows the same scene, but with a closeup on Homestar. The coffee cups are now on the characters' heads.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whistling noises that somewhat follow the "tune" of the original line}''

''{The screen displays "the original". This time, the scene includes Strong Bad jumping jacks from A Jumping Jack Contest. The Cheat appears immediately.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat! Is everything ready?

''{Exaggeration 1. Strong Bad is drawn in a potbellied, mustachioed caricature. The Cheat, who now appears as little more than a rectangle with eyes, a nose, and three very curly locks of hair, drops in from the top of the screen. The background now has two clouds and is much less detailed.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sounding nothing like usual}'' Meepmeep meep! Meep, meep, meepmeep meep!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in an exaggerated oozy voice}'' Oh, oh, oh, oh, ''OOOOOOOOH!'' A-The ''Cheeeeeat''. Iss eve-ray-thing ''{starts floating toward the top of the screen on each syllable}'' a-da-dee-da-deedly da!

''{Exaggeration 2. This time, The Cheat arrives from the left side of the screen; everything else is identical in appearance.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{strange noises that vaguely resemble a turkey}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yawn}'' Oh... The Cheat... Caught me at a bit of a bad time here, uh... Is everything, um... mm-hmm?

''{The original: Homestar (star-less) is in the Arena near the end of Marshmallow's Last Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now how about my star back, Strong Bad?

''{Exaggeration 1: Homestar is drawn on the right-hand side of the screen in black-and-white, with his hat and a star clearly visible on his shirt. He is short and fat in this scene. The background is entirely gray, with darker gray indicating the crowds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a whiny, nasaly version of his regular voice}'' Now! How about my ''{jumps up}'' star back?! ''{drops back down, but his head shifts to the left as though it's a typewriter, along with a keyboard-typing sound effect}'' Strong Bad! ''{His head returns to normal.}''

''{Exaggeration 2. This one is a closeup on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a deep slurred voice}'' Now-ooo how-ooo bow-ooo my-ooo sta-ooo ba-ooo, Sto-ooo Ba-ooo?

[[Image:DVD Exaggerations TBC.JPG|thumb|220px|"Oh, wow. Those were crazy!"]]
''{Exaggeration 3. For this one, Homestar is standing more toward the middle of the screen, leaning back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a voice almost identical to Eh! Steve's}'' Now how about it... ''{his neck opens like a mouth, complete with a tongue, to say the next part}'' how 'bout it, Steve?

''{Cut back to Matt and Mike.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Oh, wow. Those were crazy!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Man, I— I wasn't ready for those, Mike, and I ''made'' 'em!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Those were crazy!

==Transcript==
''{Open to an almost-entirely black screen, with a window in the corner. As the following words are said, they are written at the bottom of the screen in red.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{He has a slight echo throughout the toon, unless noted.}'' One chilled ''{said as "chillèd"}'' Hallow's Eve I rose,

''{Strong Sad steps out of the shadows. The next line is not written on the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And sat right down to writing,

''{He sits down as a desk moves in to view, with a paper and inkwell on it. He pulls out a pen and takes it to the paper.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' For none had bothered to propose, to their parties, my inviting.

''{Cut back to another mostly-black screen with another window. Strong Sad is seen writing at the desk in white silhouette. The words are again written in red.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I crafted such a macabre ''{said in an exaggerated fashion}'' tale there in my darkened room

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' To achieve literary justice, and send each to their DOOOOM! ''{As he says the final word, his skull image appears over his head, the screen glows slightly green, and a musical sting is heard.}''

''{To music, a book entitled "DOOMY TALES OF THE MACABRE by S. Sad" appears. On the cover, Strong Sad is dressed as the grim reaper and laughing. In front of him lie skulls of other main characters.}''

''{Cut to the exterior of the King of Town's castle. One window is brightly lit. The camera zooms in on that window.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' We start with the most expendable. Grrrreetings, ''{with the R rolled}'' King of Town!

''{Cut to inside the castle, where the King of Town is slowly sinking into a giant boiling pot.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For this glutton, a stew of mutton in which to slowly drown!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I thought these were tales of the McArby: ''{A book appears with "TALES OF THE McARBY" on it, showing an enormous hamburger.}'' the mythical fast-food crossover sandwich of legend!

''{The book disappears. The King of Town is now mostly submerged. He gurgles a bit and munches on the mutton on the way down. The King of Town's skull, in the shape of The Municipality logo, appears over his head as he sinks, to a musical sting. Cut to an image of a crystal ball.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What's this? ''{Marzipan walks up to the crystal, and a distorted reflection of her is visible in it.}'' The fair maid Marzipan considering a brand new man?

''{Homestar leans in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan! Have you seen my toenail clippings? I left them right on top of your toothbrush.

''{Marzipan glares at Homestar for a moment, and then into the crystal.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Crystal, crystal, on the ball, I need a better boyfriend, y'all!

''{Closeup on the ball, which is glowing. A buzzing sound is heard.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But the gypsy forces she invoked decided they would play a joke!

''{The ball flashes to a thunderclap. Cut to Homestar, but pan immediately so that only his shadow is visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' AaaaaaaaAAAAAAA...

''{His shadow and voice both shift to match Coach Z's}''

'''COACH Z:''' AAAAARRAOOOOOORR!

''{Pan back over to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there, my little love jorb! ''{Holds up his foot, which is encased in a shoe that's falling apart. It's stained and some hairs are on it.}'' These bunions, corns, and calluses aren't gonna pumice themselves!

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{halfheartedly; her skull appears over her face to the musical sting}'' Nuuuuuuu... Oh, wait, ''{squinting}'' what's that say? ''{The skull appears to the musical sting again.}'' Nooooooooo!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is in silhouette. The top of the screen resembles the paper Strong Sad is writing on, and Strong Sad's line is written on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And now we join a man obse—

''{Sudden cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{interrupting}'' Hey, what abrat ''my'' doom?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um, you're already Coach Z. No sense in beating a dead horse.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, good point!

''{Coach Z's skull appears over his face to the musical sting. Cut back to the Concession Stand, the same as before.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And now we join a man obsessed with sales and liquidation,

''{Cut to inside the Stand. Bubs is concocting some sort of potion with a complicated device. He has some bubble gum in his costume's wig. A bottle of "TOXIC WASTE" is sitting near him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Dabbling with fiendish tests and genetic experimentation.

'''BUBS:''' I'll just take this piece of brain from my wig... ''{grabs the bubble gum and throws it into the concoction. Strong Sad's face appears in the top-left corner of the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' But you all know how these things go, with unnatural creations.

''{Cut back outside the Stand.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A puff of smoke! ''{smoke appears}'' A greenish glow! ''{the space inside the Stand turns green}'' Voila! Horrible abominations!

''{A giant puff of smoke appears. The text on the stand has been replaced with Bubs-like eyes, and teeth resembling Bubs' teeth hang above the stand's window. Bubs, now clearly visible, looks up at this. The stand growls and the teeth shake.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aw, this was supposed to ''reduce'' my overhead! Not turn ''into'' my head!

''{The teeth chomp at Bubs, severing his head from his body. The head, with Xs in place of eyes, flies forward and lands in front of Onion Bubs.}''

'''ONION BUBS:''' Welcome to my world! ''{cackles with an...}'' Ehhhhh-heheheheheheeeeeeeh!

''{Bubs' skull appears over his head to a musical sting. Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith in the middle of the field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' These two no-talkers need to go!

''{A piece of paper comes down from the top of the screen; both characters look at it. "Poopmith" is written on it over Strong Sad's next line.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Let's eliminate a Poopsmith O!

''{The word on the paper becomes "POpmith". A tire pump that looks like it came from an old video game appears in front of the Poopsmith. The Poopsmith looks at it and starts pumping it. As he does, a tube connects from it to Pom Pom. Pom Pom becomes pixelated and grows bigger, until he pops. Crickets chirp for a moment.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover, unsure}'' Oh, uh, and Pom Pom was filled with a deadly gas... ''{a cloud of gas appears where Pom Pom was}'' that killed the Popsmith...really...fast.

''{The Poopsmith suddenly falls over onto the tire pump. His skull appears over his head, and Pom Pom's over his cloud, with a really fast musical sting. Cut to Homestar running in the field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar Runner, fast, like the whind, but how fast can he run when his knees can't bend?

''{As Homestar passes a tree, his legs straighten out to a musical sting. He keeps running, albeit slower, anyway.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh! Hey, this ain't so bad! ''{Hearts appear over his head}'' Give me the good thoughts, you know.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I'll revise, then, if you please. What if each leg had several knees?

''{A flash of light and musical sting as Homestar's legs become curved and tangled. Nonetheless, he shuffles along anyway.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, great! It's like I'm wadin' through puddin' with every step! And everyone knows how much the Homestar Runner loves wadin' through puddin'. ''{He stops.}'' Strong Sad, these doomy tales of macrame aren't very scary. ''{He walks forward.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, there's an idea!

''{Cut to the dark room where Strong Sad is writing, now silhouetted in gray. Homestar shuffles in as a white silhouette. The words are written on the bottom of the screen again.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A crafty fad, once loved by all. I'll hang you on a '70s basement wall!

''{Suddenly, the background becomes a yellow wallpaper, and Homestar becomes a macrame owl hanging on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{terrified}'' Oh no! Macrame! My worst nightmare!

''{Marzipan steps forward.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' But Macrame Owl Homestar, I give you a macrame dream catcher for Decemberween every year.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My point exactlyyyyyyy!

''{Homestar's skull appears over the macrame Homestar to the musical sting. Marzipan jumps back in surprise. Coach Z steps in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Get back upstairs and cook my seventies dinner, woman!

''{Marzipan scowls and walks off.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And put on a pantsuit, fer cryin' out loud!

''{Cut to the Sad Kids approaching a house with a candy bag. A paper appears, with Strong Sad's words written on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Halloween is very handy, for those with appetites for candy.

''{The paper disappears as a hand drops a piece of candy into the bag. The Sad Kids walk off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Except for greedy trick-or-treaters...

''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Like Strong Mad and The Cheat... ''{struggles for a rhyme}'' er...

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' CHECK OUT MY NEW TREAT BAG!

''{He indicates a dumpster with "TR[[Lowercase i's|i]]CK TREAT" spray-painted on it.}''

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

''{Cut to the moon, panning back.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All night long, they gathered sweets,

''{The dumpster comes into view. Candy is poured into it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And tossed upon the growing heap! When finally struck the midnight hour,

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat appear in the dumpster and start scarfing down candy. The Cheat disappears suddenly.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Twas not just candy he devoured! ''{chuckles}''

''{Strong Mad chokes a little and yellow hairs fly out of his mouth.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT? NOOOOOO!!!

''{Strong Mad's skull appears over his head, and The Cheat's over his stomach, for the musical sting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's not macabre! ''{pronounced as "macab-er"}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing near the dumpster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad eats The Cheat like four times a day! How do you think we give him baths?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, fine! ''{Strong Bad looks upwards left and right, in search of Strong Sad}'' Well, I saved the ''most'' macabre ''{exaggerated}'' for last!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd like to see you get macabré on mé!

''{Cut to the Compé. Strong Bad types Strong Sad's words.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad, as he always does, checks emails from his fans, what if,

''{Cut to behind the Compé.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' instead of boxing gloves, a pair of human hands?!

''{Strong Bad's hands are replaced by live-action human hands. Strong Bad recoils, knocking The Compé's monitor away. The hands' fingers continually move, except when in contact with the Compé's keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaahhh! I'm hideous! How will I ever type with these waggly knuckled monstrosities?!

''{He attempts to type, but fails. His skull appears over his head to the musical sting. Fade out and back in to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now all have met their grisly fate, such horrors for you to see. Perchance next time they'll all think twice before not inviting me!

''{The lights suddenly come on, and Strong Sad looks up with a happy surprised face.}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Halloween, Strong Sad!

''{Cut back to show Strong Sad looking at all the other main characters except Homsar.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{His voice no longer exhibits the echo}'' A surprise party? Just for me?! Oh, you guys shouldn't have! You all really do care!

''{The characters all fall forward, revealed to be a giant cardboard cutout with a tape player behind it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. ''{to the viewer, nervously:}'' Heh, heh, you weren't really supposed to see that, uh... let's just flick the light back off, shall we?

''{He turns off the light. The words "the end." appear to music, with skulls of the characters appearing below it. Cut to a scene of all the characters standing around in the field.}''

Not sure if I wanna know the answer to this, but did you steal Mickey Mouse's pants? Marzipan, off-duty Ronald McDonald? It is what it is. And finally, Homestar, you seem to be distraught. ''{turns around}'' People try and make me sound a lot... weird, y'know, and I'm strong! And I can... kick... ''{lifts his leg to kick. It becomes the curled-up tangle it was during the toon.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Macabre|Macabre]] is a literary and artistic style characterized by its grim nature and details of death.
*[[Wikipedia:Macrame|Macrame]] is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting.
*[[Wikipedia:Overhead|Overhead]] refers to a business's expenses that aren't tied to sales (e.g. rent, labor, utilities, advertising).

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Onion Bubs has ever spoken.
*This cartoon marks the first time that both Bubs and Onion Bubs were visible at the same time.
*This is the second time that a character has sported two different costumes in the same Halloween Toon: Strong Sad is wearing his Grim Reaper getup on the cover of his book.


===Remarks===
*Many characters [[fourth wall breaks|break the fourth wall]] by speaking to Strong Sad as he narrates. Marzipan does so by misreading a cue card. Strong Bad also does so by typing what Strong Sad is narrating. Strong Sad does so by addressing the audience at the end.
*The patty on the McArby resembles that of the [[Blubb-O's|Thick 'n Nasty]].
*This cartoon suggests that both Coach Z and Homestar have toes.
*The Compé was purchased with, and has been shown with, a mouse. However, it appears to be absent in this toon, though it could have fallen off the desk with the Compé itself.
*This toon suggests that Strong Bad has a wireless keyboard.
*Marzipan wears a tank top in this Toon, revealing her skin. This adds to the theory that her body is skirt-shaped (see also: [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]).
*Strong Sad pronounces "chilled" as "[[-èd|chillèd"]].
*Strong Bad mentions "the parlor" in the King of Town's Easter egg, but this is not one of the rooms included in the game [[Wikipedia:Cluedo|Clue]], on which the King of Town's costume is based.
*Even though Strong Mad coughs up The Cheat's hair, he doesn't seem to eat The Cheat (The Cheat doesn't appear to go into Strong Mad's Mouth).
*When Strong Bad's Gloves turn into hands, the hands don't seem to be attached to his body at all.
*"Boyfriend" Coach Z appearing with Macrame Owl Homestar is a strange and subtle case of a [[duplicate character]].

===Goofs===
*The Poopsmith is dressed as Darunia, but the tag at the end says that he is "King Dirunia". In addition to the spelling error, Darunia (though the leader of the Gorons) is not a king. The Gorons in Goron City refer to him only as "Big Brother".
*Homsar's hat is dressed up for Halloween, but at the end, he is wearing his normal bowler hat.
*"Poopsmith" and "Popsmith" are both missing the "s" when they are written on the parchment Paper.

===Glitches===
*As with all years, the cursor can hover over Homsar to bring up his name and costume while characters give their Easter egg speeches, which is not possible for any other characters. This is due to Homsar being added in over the movie clip, and not affected by the rendering level that the others are in.

===Inside References===
*Bubs' Concession Stand turning into Bubs's head also happened in the [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!|2005 April Fools' Day special]].
*Strong Bad's fate is having to type with [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|human hands]].
*The dooms written by Strong Sad involve the [[death]]s of several characters.
*The King Of Town's "death" is by [[stew]].
*Strong Sad mentions that Homsar was killed by the [[Heavy Lourde]] in [[homsar|sbemail number 2]].
*Homestar has trouble [[What are you supposed to be?|identifying the costumes]].
*Strong Sad's pronunciation of "macabre" is [[Foreign Words|irregular]].
*Strong Sad suggests that Strong Mad [[The Cheat being eaten|eats the Cheat]].
*The King of Town's skull image resembles the logo for [[the Municipality]].
*This toon is done in the style of the poetry of [[Edgar Allan Poe]].
*Strong Bad previously showed his inability to type with fingers in email [[fingers]].
*Strong Sad is seen [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiling]].
*Coach Z says [[Jorb]].
*Homsar was previously referred to as "this little weirdo" in [[different town]].
*Strong Sad was first seen as the [[Grim Reaper]] in [[Experimental Film]].
*The hand that gives the Sad Kids candy was previously seen in [[hygiene]] and [[Career Day]].
*Homsar dressing up as Little Orphan Annie is another example of [[cross-dressing]].
*Strong Sad says "Grrrreetings" the same way he did in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2]].
*[[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder-Überraschung]] has been referenced very briefly in [[alternate universe]].

===Real-World References===
[[File:Majora's Moon.png|thumb|300px|What a totally unfrustrating likeness!]]
*McArby is a [[portmanteau]] of [[McDonald's]] and [[Wikipedia:Arby's|Arby's]].
*Strong Bad's comment about the moon falling refers to ''[[The Legend of Zelda|The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', in which, the moon would come crashing down after 3 in-game days (about 54-72 minutes real-world time, under normal conditions), causing a game over unless Link reset time using the Ocarina of Time. His comment about it being a "totally unfrustrating" manner of play refers to how this time limit and limited saving caused frustration among some gamers having to repeat similar parts of the game frequently as well as a feeling of being rushed. The face on the moon as he says this resembles the one in the game.
*The song that Homestar sings and the Poopsmith dances to is Saria's Song from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]. In this game, the player must make Goron Chieftain Darunia dance to this song. This tune also plays in different locations in various later games in the series.
*Marzipan says "Crystal, crystal, on the ball," a reference to the line "Magic mirror, on the wall" from [[Wikipedia: Snow White|Snow White]], which was mistakenly interpreted as "Mirror, mirror, on the wall."
*When you click on Homestar at the end of the toon, the Easter Egg wraps up with him claiming to be strong and able to kick. This, along with Homestar's costume, is a reference to Crispin Glover's 1987 [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover#Late Night appearance|appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman"]] where he kicked at Letterman.
*Coach Z's Easter egg makes heavy reference to [[Wikipedia:Paula Abdul|Paula Abdul]], including her songs "[[Wikipedia:Opposites Attract|Opposites Attract]]", "Cold Hearted Snake", and "Rush Rush". [[Wikipedia:MC Skat Kat|MC Skat Kat]] first appeared in the Abdul's "Opposites Attract" video.
*Strong Bad's quote "Run, Marzipan, Run" is based on the source of Marzipan's costume, the [[German]] movie ''[[Wikipedia:Run Lola Run|Run Lola Run]]''.
**Marzipan's reply, "You [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder-Überraschung]]!" refers to the German confection also known as "Kinder Surprise" or "Kinder Egg".
*Bubs' Easter egg is reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]'', where his costume, Jules, originated from. Jules had a wallet saying a similar, but vulgar phrase on it.
*Bubs pulling the brain from his hair is a reference to a scene from Pulp Fiction.
*[[Wikipedia:Scarecrow and Mrs. King|Scarecrow and Mrs. King]] was a US TV series that ran from 1983 and 1987 about the adventures of a spy and a divorced housewife.
*[[Wikipedia:Jake and the Fatman|Jake and the Fatman]] was a US TV series that ran from 1987 to 1992 about a prosecuting attorney and an investigator.
*The Cheat "lifts himself up by the seat of his pants" and "takes leave of this place... without leaving a trace", leaving only a pile of rocks bearing the word "UNLESS", just as The Lorax does.
**There is also a Thneed lying at The Cheat's feet when he is first shown. A Thneed is a product made from the Lorax's beloved Truffula Trees, and which (claims the Once-Ler, the book's villain) "everyone, everyone, everyone needs".
*When Strong Mad says "MOVE-A MOVE-A", it is a reference to a lyric spoken in the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing".
*Homsar is dressed as [[Wikipedia:Little Orphan Annie|Little Orphan Annie]], and his line refers to "Punjab", a recurring character from that comic strip.
*Strong Bad's remarks about the King of Town's costume reflect the format of Clue (who, what, and where), on which the King of Town's costume is based.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: none</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Do you have a secret Identity? cause you know that 
would be the kinda rockin' cool thing you'd have. 
Chris 
Laramie, Wy 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "Wy" as "why" in a soft high-pitched voice.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Chris, let me be frank. The term "rockin' cool" is so uncool it makes my face hurt.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now all the "rockin' cool"s are off the screen.

''{He shrieks as he realizes what he's typed, and clears the screen again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're gone. Those things are vicious. Anyway Frank, I believe your question was about my secret identity. Well, let me ask you this: have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I in the same place at the same time?

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room. The Poopsmith is standing behind Strong Bad and to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dun dun DUUUNH! That's right! It is I who dons the crappy orange gloves and shovels—

''{The Poopsmith jabs Strong Bad a couple of times with his shovel. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?! What are you ''doing'' here? ''{shakes his fist a little as he talks}'' You ruined my scam, man! I was gonna have all of everyone believing that I was you and that the steaming pile of whatsit was really a smoldering pile of money covered in whatsit. How'd you get in here anyways?

''{Homestar Runner approaches from the left side of the computer, holding a hamburger.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I let him in. ''{to The Poopsmith}'' Here you go. ''{hands him the hamburger}'' Oh, ''{turns to Strong Bad}'' and you're out of mayo.

''{Homestar and The Poopsmith exit toward the left. Strong Bad turns and addresses the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is there like a sign on my door that says ''{makes a sweeping gesture}'' "Wanted: Everyone I hate. Inquire within"?

''{The King of Town approaches from the right side of the computer.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I didn't see one.

''{Strong Bad utters some frustrated gibberish and turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith. But I got lots of secret identities. Lately, I've been using this one: Tip Tappers: Expensive Briefcase Carrier. I use Mr. Tappers when I'm on tour and I want to check into a hotel and not be bothered by legions of fans.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, now labeled Bubs' Motor Lodge, at night. On the sign is a neon caricature of Bubs's head with three neon Z's next to it, each of which light up in cascading fashon. Bubs is wearing a nametag and Strong Bad has with him a briefcase. A sign-in book is on the counter.}''

'''BUBS:''' And what name will this room be under?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Tip Tappers, please. Unless some girl asks what room Strong Bad's in. And she's at least a seven out of ten. Or uh... ''{thinks}'' six if she's naked.

'''BUBS:''' That'll be nine hundred dollars Mr. ''{clears his throat loudly}'' Tappers.

''{Homestar emerges from behind the building, carrying an empty ice bucket, wearing his cinnamon beard, and dressed in a robe, a gold shirt that reads "I &hearts; Toxic Waste", and pink bunny slippers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there an ice machine around here?

'''BUBS:''' Certainly, Mr. Dee Williams.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's Vance Mudgeman. I use that identity when I drop in on my secret second family over in Broiter Grove. Ahh, those kids love Daddy Mudgeman.

''{Cut to the trailer home. Strong Bad is sitting in a green armchair watching TV. He is wearing a grease-stained A-shirt and has a couple of days' growth of beard stubble on his face. Kids' laughter can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to someone off screen}'' You get back here with that remote, Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. I'm not afraid to smack— ''{holds up his glove menacingly}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yes, well, you gotta be firm. ''{clears his throat}'' And then of course there's the secret identity I use to write my advice column for a popular women's magazine.

''{An issue of ''Scarfgirl'' magazine appears from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Using the pseudoname Cara Carabowditbowdit, I'm slowly but surely making the girls of the world cooler for all us dudes.

''{Cut to the smoky office. Strong Bad sits at an old typewriter, wearing a brown wig with a skull and bone on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Dear Buttless in Bedstuy, Sounds like YOU need to play more video games, galpal. And not those girly ones where you pretend to be a dog or a frog neither. I'm talkin' about the explodey ones. The kind that make you dizzy when you play 'em. Then maybe your guy will stop talking about his ex. Eat a Steak, Cara Carabowditbowdit. ''{He finishes by typing "XOXOXO".}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan and Homestar are sitting together on her couch, and Marzipan is reading ''Scarfgirl''.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' This lady doesn't know what she's talking about. And I don't like her pseudoname.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, you're just jealous 'cause she gets all the hot boys.

''{A crumpled ball of paper flies in from off screen and hits Homestar in the face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, mail's here.

''{He reaches down and picks it up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's it say?

''{Homestar uncrumples it and reads the following. Strong Bad has scribbled over his own name.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No I don't. Strong Bad. I mean, Cara Carabowditbowdit.

'''MARZIPAN:''' See, I told you.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see? Secret identities aren't just for superheroes and Garth Brooks anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have several butts to jettison from my home.

''{He gets up and goes off to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws Homestar}''

''{Homestar flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for having me overrrrr!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws the King.}''

''{The King, too, flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Worst mayonnaise party everrrr!

''{The Poopsmith walks across while being prodded all the while by Strong Bad using a fondue fork.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out.

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Sb and poopsmith.PNG|thumb|The Poopbad or The Strongsmith?]]
*After Strong Bad says "Laramie, Why?", click on the phrase to get a book of the same name, written by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly]] and [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*After Strong Bad types "So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith," click on "The Poopsmith" to see a picture that is a cross between The Poopsmith and Strong Bad, with Strong Bad's head and feet, The Poopsmith's mouth and body, and a mix of Strong Bad's and The Poopsmith's gloves.
*While Strong Bad is checking in to Bubs' Motor Lodge, click on the reservations book to see it up close.
*Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see a scene with Marzipan, Homestar, and Strong Sad.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe I should get me one of them pseudonames.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{hyperactive, leans in from the left side of the screen}'' It's "-nym"! It's "-nym"! It's pseudo''nym''! Not pseudo''name''! I can't take it any more! Nym nym nym! It's a Greek word for "name"! Pseudonym! Pseudonym! ''{leans back out}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Bedstuy is short for [[Wikipedia:Bedford-Stuyvesant|Bedford-Stuyvesant]], a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
*A [[Wikipedia:Daemon (computer software)|daemon]], sometimes called a service, is a background process that serves an important function in a computer system. Common uses for daemons include such things as sending email or running [[Wikipedia:Web server|web]] and [[Wikipedia:File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] servers.
**The word "daemon" can be correctly pronounced "DEE-mon" (just like "demon"), or "DAY-mon", similar to how Strong Bad pronounces it in this e-mail.
*"Pseudoname" is a common misspelling of "[[Wikipedia:pseudonym|pseudonym]]," a fictitious name used as an alternative to one's legal name. As Strong Sad suggests, "pseudonym" is derived from the Greek word for name, ὄνυμα ''onyma'', which gives rise to the combining form ''-onym'' in English.
*A cowboy is featured on the cover of "Laramie, Why?" because [[Wikipedia:Laramie, Wyoming|Laramie]] is a popular setting for [[Wikipedia:westerns|westerns]].

===Trivia===
*Bubs's marquee reads:
<blockquote>BUBS' MOTOR 
LODGE 
FORMERLY BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND </blockquote>

*Bubs's nametag reads:
<blockquote>My Name 
BUBS</blockquote>

*Marzipan's [[Periodicals|issue]] of [[Scarfgirl]] reads:
<blockquote>Scarfgirl 
fashion AND environment stuff     feb. 
 
is politics bad? 
[[Hybrid Cars|HYBRID CARS!]] 
CELEB SHOCKERS! 
A PURSE!</blockquote>

:*The woman on the cover is [[Jackie Chapman]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad was added several hours after the initial release of the toon.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#sam and max|sam and max]]".

===Bubs' Motor Lodge Registry===

*Bubs' Motor Lodge Registry reads:
<pre>
one double - mr. allan poe
PAID! queen suite - ms. cousteau
one king - mr. boyardee PAID!
PAID! smelly cot - mr. five freddy
posh suite - mr. chamberlain DISCO TAPE!
COMPED! one racecar bed - mr. dee williams
one grill - mr. tesmacher PAID TWICE!
PENCIL SHAVINGS!
</pre>

For the identities of the people in Bubs's Sign-In Book, see [[Secret Identities#Other Characters|Secret Identities]].

===Remarks===
*The sound when the Poopsmith is poking Strong Bad with his shovel and when Strong Bad is poking the Poopsmith to make him leave is the "Droplet" error sound from the old [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].
*Strong Bad and The Poopsmith have actually appeared together several times in the past, most notably in [[big white face]], [[haircut]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and at the end of most [[Holidays|Holiday Toons]].
**Also, during the [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|audio commentary]] for [[The King of Town DVD]], Strong Bad comments negatively on the Poopsmith.
*If he is to be believed, then Strong Bad is apparently the only main character to have offspring, his second family as Vance Mudgeman. The only other main characters who may possibly have had kids are the King of Town (who originally would have been Marzipan's father) and Coach Z (who implied that he was a mother in [[garage sale]]). However, given Strong Bad's propensity for scams and cons, it's entirely possible that the Mudgeman children are not actually his.
*If the Mudgeman trailer is the trailer in [[portrait]], then the setting has apparently changed since then. In that email, there was a portrait of Strong Bad to the left of the "Born to be Danged" poster, and the moose lamp at the right was originally on the left, and was broken.
**Also, the moose lamp was slightly taller in [[portrait]].
*In the Easter egg at the end, Homestar states that he would like a pseudonym, even though earlier in the 'toon Bubs refers to him as Mr. Dee Williams, implying that he has already been using one.
*When Strong Bad is opening his e-mail, he opens it as a .wad instead of a .exe.
*When Marzipan says, "And I don't like her pseudoname," it refers back to the email [[marzipan]], where she tells Strong Bad, "And I don't like your outfit."
*Strong Bad's typewriter only makes a carriage return sound once every three lines, even when typing the header and signature.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad commits a common grammatical error by asking "Have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I...?" Because it is in the predicate of the sentence, the phrase should be "The Poopsmith and me." In simpler terms, the sentence should make sense by itself when either "the Poopsmith" or "me" is omitted. 
*In the Easter egg when Strong Sad says "it's pseudonym", there is a dot by his lip.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first released, the name in Bubs's register that reads "mr. allan poe" was incorrectly spelled as "mr. allen poe", a common misspelling of the name of American author [[Edgar Allan Poe]]. This was corrected later in the day.

===Inside References===
*The book title "Laramie, Why?" is a reference to the similar title "Eww, Claire!! Why???" from [[origins]], which was also written by Beverly Sportsinterviews.
*The room in which Vance Mudgeman is sitting (with the moose lamp and "Born to be Danged" poster) is in a double-wide trailer, first seen in the email [[portrait]]. The moose lamp is probably a reference to Homestar's "moose lamp" in the same email.
*"BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND" is a reference to [[geddup noise]].
*Strong Bad prods the Poopsmith with a fondue fork to encourage him to leave. Homestar has borrowed [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue set]] at least twice.
*Bubs's name tag is a reference to [[Puppets on the Road]], where Shark-Tooth Bubs says "My name Shark-Tooth Bubs."
*Bubs accepted pencil shavings as legal tender in [[lackey]], as he does here, as evidenced by his guestbook.
*Homestar's [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|bathrobe and slippers]] were introduced in [[caper]], as was his [[cinnamon]] beard.
*Strong Bad mentions that his secret family lives in Broiter Grove, a town also found on the back of the discontinued [[Limozeen]] concert T-shirt.
*''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]'' is playing on the TV in the Mudgeman home.
*This email contains an instance of [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]].
*This is another reference to [[steak]].

===Real-World References===
*The mention of [[Wikipedia:Garth Brooks|Garth Brooks]] is a reference to his 1999 rock & roll alter-ego, [[Wikipedia:Chris Gaines|Chris Gaines]], which he assumed for a movie deal that fell through.
*"Strongbad_email.wad" and "Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon" are both homages to the PC game ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]''.
**[[Wikipedia:Doom WAD|WAD files]] contain level, graphical, and sound files for the game.
**"Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon," is similar to a line of text first seen in ''Doom'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Doom II|Doom II]]'', which reads "Init DOOM refresh daemon."
*Homestar's ''[http://www.founditemclothing.com/t-shirts/toxic.html I ♥ Toxic Waste]'' shirt and pink bunny slippers are references to the movie [[Wikipedia:Real Genius|Real Genius]].
*The name Jeffrey Beffrey could be a literary nod to the Goose from [[Wikipedia:Charlotte's Web|Charlotte's Web]] by E. B. White. The Goose called her son "Jeffrey-Effrey" in her unique rhyming speech.
* The name Tip Tappers may refer to [[Wikipedia:Tip Tipping|Tip Tipping]], a 1980s stuntman who acted in many famous productions, including [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]] and [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]].



*Buttless in Bedstuy is a reference to the convention of signing letters to advice columns as "(adjective) in (location)", and may be a direct reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Sleepless in Seattle|Sleepless in Seattle]]''.

===Fast Forward===
* Strong Bad's [[Cara Carabowditbowdit]] wig is a costume item in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

== DVD Version ==

*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' This time it's me! This time it's me! This time it's me! This time it's me!

'''MIKE:''' Great!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That was ''my'' Strong Bad Email intro song. It's called, "This Time It's You".

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' In parentheses: "(This Time It's Me)"

'''MIKE:''' Homestar, settle down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' This email talks about secret identities. Now, do you have any secret identities?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, ye — no — s! ''{finishes with a hissing 's' sound, as though the word "no" interrupted the word "yes"}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You see, I interrupted my "yes" with a "no" in the middle.

'''MIKE:''' Y-E, dot, dot, dot. Yeah, okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Okay, "rockin' cool". So, now let's talk about "rockin' cool".

'''MIKE:''' Uh, "rockin' cool"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, why would he try and convince people that he's The Poopsmith — the poop digger?

'''MIKE:''' The poop digger?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What kind of scam?

'''MIKE:''' Um, he was gonna make millions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How was he...

'''MIKE:''' ''{talking over Homestar}'' It was a pyramid scheme, I think.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhh.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking over Mike}'' I get — I get into those all the time!

'''MIKE:''' It's like, you get people to think that ''you're'' The Poopsmith, and then once they believe it they get other people to believe that ''they're'' The Poopsmith.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking over Mike, Mike becomes untillegible}'' Ooh! Look at that sandwich I made The Poopsmith! I think it was — I think I made him a McRib. ''{pause}'' You know, I — I should probably stop making copies of his keys, from Strong Bad's house and giving 'em out at parties.

'''MIKE:''' Where'd you get the first one?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I think I made it from soaps.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I fashioned it out of soaps.

'''MIKE:''' And then you were able to make copies out of it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Wow!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! Soap —

'''MIKE:''' Soap key copiers?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. I wish Bubs' had that sign again. I remember coming home from trips, you know, like, you'd be out on the road —

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' — and then you'd pass by Bubs' Motor Lodge and that little sleepy Bubs would be zzz-ing ''{pronounced zeezing}'' at you.

'''MIKE:''' Look who it is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

'''MIKE:''' What's your shirt say?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love toxic waste.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's like, Chris Knight's from Real Genius.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I always sign in my alias as Mr. D. Williams. ''{pause}'' Who are those kids? Do you hear those kids?

'''MIKE:''' I do. That's Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. ''{laughs as he says the name}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That kid needs to shut his mouth! Jeffrey already knows his ABCs. Hit the deck! ''{pause}'' Hey, that — I know that lady!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' You do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Who is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't know.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Some lady. ''{pause}'' Um, so, let's talk about scarfgirls, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, "Scarfgirls" has made a resurgence in the last few years.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's seems like they used to just live in Athens, Georgia.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Now they live everywhere.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now they're all over the place. They wear large scarves, they like to knit.

'''MIKE:''' They knit, and —

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They're pretty eco-conscious.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They probably have their own business. At least their own blog!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is Marzipan a scarfgirl?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, she's kind of a hybrid.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' She's kind of got some scarfgirl elements, but —

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, she's got, like, part of gasoline and part electric. More. ''{pause}'' Yeah, I remember getting that mail! It was weird! It was the one day the mailman mailed mail by throwing paper balls at me. He never does that no more.

'''MIKE:''' No?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who is the mailman in our town, anyways?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I'm gonna guess — Coach Z?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You think so?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I don't know.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe so. Ooh, jettison! The Jettisons. I love that cartoon. ''{pause}'' Do you like Sam & Max?

'''MIKE:''' I do. I like mayonnaise parties, too.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have to go to the bathroom.

'''MIKE:''' I don't like mayonnaise anymore after I got some fried shrimp covered in mayonnaise at a Thai restaurant.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ewww.

Talk:Doomy Tales of the Macabre

2009-10-31T01:49:16Z

Everybody!: /* Reduce [an] overhead? */

== Buh-hubs. ==
A simple question: how should one word the Bubs RWRs? The Wiki strives to be family-friendly, while both his first line of the toon (regarding the brain in his afro) and his line in the Easter Egg refer to Pulp Fiction, both parts of which are...less than family-friendly. I thought perhaps it could read:
*Bubs' line about brain in his afro and about his wallet are both references to scenes from [[Wikipedia:Pulp_Fiction_(film)|Pulp Fiction]].
and a content warning could (and ''should'') be added to the end of the line, which I can't remember the Wiki format for at the moment. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 05:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think it is necessary to say what Jules says in Pulp fiction. That would be explaining the joke. I like the way it is worded currently {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:40, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
::That being said, would someone please be so kind as to explain the joke to me? I've...never actually...seen Pulp Fiction.{{User:Neox/sig}} 21:16, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
::: Try http://us.imdb.com/character/ch0001783/quotes and search for "wallet". -- [[User:Sentroyd|Sentroyd]] 01:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

== The Transcript ==

Sorry for not showing any progress, the wiki stopped working for me last night. This server does not really like taking any unusual load at all or something. --[[User:InsanityBringer|InsanityBringer]] 11:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey, what about Homsar's lines?

Check the easter eggs section for those --[[User:InsanityBringer|InsanityBringer]] 16:34, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

== Hand ==

I believe that hand is not the hand of the Onceler and actually the hand of the mom from Career Day. In fact, I am almost sure of it. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 18:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:Nope, it's not the same object, not shaped the same, nothing similar aside from being a hand. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:56, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
::Have you even tried comparing the two? They've both got the roundy bracelets and the extended fingernails. They're almost definitely the same. And it's definitely not The Onceler like the article is currently claiming. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 19:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:::I tend to agree, it looks like the hand was based on the Mom hand. Its definitely closer to that than to the Onceler. (Note, the Mom hand appears as the same object in career day and hygene.) -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.194|132.183.140.194]] 19:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
::::I agree. It looks very much like the mom's hand, and not particularly like the Onceler's.[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 19:15, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

== Move-a ==

Should there be some mention that Strong Mad's Easter egg line is from "[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2a6lc_dire-straits-money-for-nothingvideo_music Money for Nothing]?" Related to that, I would argue that move-a is a better spelling than moova (it refers to the fact that the character is moving refrigerators and moving color TVs).[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 19:25, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:heck, it even says 'Move-a' on the costume discription page. I'll fix it. But, you don't always have to ask before putting something. '''be bold!''' {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 20:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

== How/Why? ==

Does STrong Bad say "How do you think..." or "why do you think..."? The latter makes more sense, but the former is what many people, including me partially, hear. Which is it?--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 23:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think the concept makes much sense either way. But I hear "how". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:16, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

== Reduce [an] overhead? ==

What exactly does that mean, and do we need an explanation on the page as to what it means? -[[User:Everybody!|Everybody!]] 01:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Strong Bad Throwing Stuff Together

2009-10-12T15:42:32Z

Everybody!: /* Occurrences */

{{rename}}
In many (and most cases), Strong Bad throws together stuff at the last minute, or even does the said stuff while an event is going on. Sometimes, a character (usually Homestar) will let
slip the fact that Strong Bad has thrown together something.

==Occurrences==
*Email [[local news]] — The whole email is basically about Strong Bad throwing together a news broadcast for Strong Badia, and Strong Bad himself [[blatant lies|blatantly lies]] that he's going to do something totally unrelated to the broadcast.
*Email [[pizza joint]] — Strong Bad throws together a fake pizza joint that becomes a big success.
*Email [[videography]] — Homestar refers to Strong Bad as "Aka Strong Bad", but only because Strong Bad said the same thing on his email presumably before he started recording his demo reel.

To Whom It May Concern; (aka Strong Bad) 
I'm getting married in August. I'm looking to hire a "videographer" to videotape our wedding. Could you use all your skills and powers and take on such a task? I want it to look real nice. 
Robert McSwain 
Video Media Technologist 
ITS Department
{{compeemailend}}

''{Strong Bad reads "aka" as written, "and take on" as "to take on", and "ITS Department" as "Iiiit's Da Partment!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well McSwobert, that works out perfectly, because "videographer" is just one of my many professions that have quotes around them.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm also a—

''{A photo showing Strong Bad in his living room wearing nurse's scrubs and holding a chainsaw appears over the scene. It is labeled:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over, still typing}'' "heart surgeon",

''{The photo disappears and another photo appears. This photo depicts Strong Bad in the classroom wearing a lab coat. He's still holding the chainsaw. It is labeled:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' a "licensed technician",

''{The photo is replaced with an image of Strong Bad at a dining table. A rusty pan with a single chicken wing sits on the table in front of him. Again, he is holding the chainsaw.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' a "poultry farmer",

''{The photo is replaced with an image of Strong Bad at The Field. There is a can of lighter fluid and a can of gasoline on the ground nearby. He's holding the chainsaw again, but the chainsaw is now on fire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and a "fireman".

''{The photo disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And you say you're getting married in August? So like, 2 months ago? Also, not a problem. My videograph will have so many fancy wipes, fades, and transitions, your wife will never even know you guys aren't in it! Take a look at my demo reel.

''{cut through static to a miniature screen of Strong Bad in The Field behind a scrolling background with "Demo Reel" written. It disjointedly gets larger until it fills the entire screen}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there. I'm famed quotation marked videographer Strong Bad. ''{The word "Videog-rapher" appears onscreen, taking up two lines}'' Do you like quick zooms and solarizing effects? What about diamondy transitions, pixelated wipes, or slow fade-outs? ''{an example of each of these effects is shown as Strong Bad names them}'' All these effects and more will make your cherished event that happened last month be cherished forever.

''(diamond cut to Locker Room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jimmy's lacrosse debacle never looked so good.

''(the screen briefly solarises. Static cut to Strong Bad's shoes at The Field)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Unintelligible mumbles}'' Little Jimmy is playing lacrosse! ''{More mumbles, the POV briefly switches up to a view of the sun}'' Oh, he scores the winning... lacrosse point! ''{A whistle is heard}''

''{Pixel wipe to three lacrosse sticks being held in the air}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and his dad was totally there and not at Applebee's! ''{The camera lowers to reveal The Cheat holding the sticks before clock-wiping back to Strong Bad's shoes}'' ''{the text "Good Shot, Johnny!" appears on-screen}'' Good shot, John—Jimmy! ''{the on-screen caption corrects the name}''

''{static cut to The Garage. There are four VCRs stacked on the table. Strong Bad is holding a CD with "Seedy Rom" written on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Add panache, pizzazz, and pep with a Seedy Rom work of unanimated clip art and copyright-free classical music.

''{Videlectrix Mascot-wipe to a title screen reading "Video Evidence of Homestar & Marzipan's 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th Anniversary Celebration!!!" Classical music plays}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Are you sure this will work, aka Strong Bad?

''{Videlectrix Mascot backwards-wipe to Homestar in his living room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over; whispered}'' Definitely! Just act like you're celebrating!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dancing and throwing confetti}'' Oh, twice! I'm a lavish gift-giver!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in The Garage}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he says each name, a tape reading those words appears from each of the VCRs.}'' Weddings? Bar-mitzfvfahs? Bar-Fvfights? First steps? Droopy ''{snickers}'' drawers? ''{a photo of [[Lil' Strong Sad]]'s backside appears.}'' You name it! I'll videographafize it!

''{Cut to Strong Bad in a cowboy outfit at a table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a faux-cowboy accent}'' Take family meatloaf night back to the ooold west! ''{normally}'' Did somebody say—

''{cut to a meatloaf on the table. The image changes to sepia tone as Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —''sepia tones?'' ''{"Here Comes The Strong Bad" theme music plays, and the text "FAMILY MEATLOAF NIGHT" appears over the image}''

'''VARIOUS VOICES:''' ''{voice-over}'' Uh, no. I don't... think so. I definitely didn't.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the kitchen, with four toasters bearing the current logo of Video Toaster}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And with our new sweet, sweet suite of video toasters, ''{the four toasters pop out VHS tapes, one per toaster}'' your precious memories will have titles that defy the very laws of reason.

''{Cut to a picture of a decoration. The caption "YOUR WEDDING VIDEO" appears on-screen. The word "Your" twirls around in 3D, while a rocket sound plays.}''

'''VOICES:''' ''{voice-over}'' Oooh!

''{Cut to a picture of a rose. The text "The Union of ROBERT McSWAIN: VIDEO MEDIA TECHNOLOGIST and THE LADY HE MARRIED IN AUGUST" appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Hopefully that will be enough to keep your wife from wondering why her video media technologist husband wasn't smart enough to think of putting a video camera on a tripod across the room and press record.

''{Cut to Computer Room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But you could probably also get away with just putting—

''{cut to a shelf of VHS tapes. Two are labelled "blank", and a third is labelled "especially blank". Another with a blue label is titled "Problem Child 1-8"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' —a label that says "WEDDIN TAPE" on a VHS cassette— ''{Strong Bad places a piece of masking tape marked "WEDDIN TAPE" over the Problem Child video's label}''

''{cut back to the computer room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' —since none-out-of-none couples actually ever watch their wedding video. Unless of course a baby drops an f-bomb, somebody pukes in their toupee, or Grandmaw Auntpaw rolls down the stairs in her wheelchair. In which case you simply post it online and turn it into internet gold! And I can ''definitely'' arrange for some of that stuff to happen at your wedding, if you enlist my services as an "event coordinator." ''{stops typing; the words "event coordinator" shift slightly on each syllable}'' A-heh heh heh, heh heh heh-HEM.

''{The [[Compé-per]] comes up}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Clicking on "Grandma Auntpaw" at the end shows a short clip of Strong Bad showing off his video camera.
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' My state-of-the-art camera has a state-of-the-art microphone mounted right next to the giant videotape motor. So you're guaranteed to hear mostly that, and not what Grandmaw Auntpaw just said on her hundred-and-ninth birthday.
*:''{Title card reading "Grandmaw Auntpaw's 100-Somethingth Birthday Stand-around" appears. Cut to a scene showing a wall and the shadow of an old woman sitting in a wheelchair just out of frame. The recorder's motor plays loudly.}''
*:'''GRANDMAW AUNTPAW:''' ''{barely audible}'' I never loved any of you.
*Clicking on "internet gold" at the end brings up a scrap of paper showing the [[YouTube]] video ID for [[Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee]].

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Lacrosse|Lacrosse]] is a field [[sport]] played with a solid rubber ball and long-handled racquets. The object of the game is to score the most goals by shooting the ball into the net, much like hockey.
*The sport of [[Wikipedia:boxing|boxing]] is sometimes referred to as [http://www.thesweetscience.com/ The Sweet Science].
* AKA stands for "Also Known As".

===Remarks===
*Clicking on "internet gold" originally linked directly to the YouTube video. This was changed later that day.
*Strong Bad's VHS tape is labeled "Problem Child 1-8". Even if there were eight Problem Child movies, they would have most likely required at least a 12 hour long cassette. The longest VHS cassette is eight and a half hours.

===Goofs===
*After the camera zooms out in Marzipan's kitchen, the cabinet in the background is gone.
*The "sbemail.exe" text overlaps the Email window for a single frame.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's intro references [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|typing with boxing gloves]].
*When Strong Bad describes his other professions that have quotes around them:
**Strong Bad holds [[Strong Mad's Chainsaw]] in all of the photos.
**Strong Bad is seen [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiling]] in all of the photos.
**The chainsaw is on [[fire]] when Strong Bad brings up "fireman", and containers of "Lite em up [[Dan]]" lighter fluid from [[pizza joint]] are at his feet.
**In the "licensed technician" picture, Strong Bad appears to be in [[the classroom]] wearing a lab coat, as he was in [[technology]].
*Strong Bad was last shown with a pan with a [[chicken|chicken leg]] in it in [[slumber party]].
*The music played at the beginning of Strong Bad's demo reel is the theme song from the [[Sbemailiarized]] toons.
*Strong Bad's wallpaper is one of the [[wallpaper]]s from the [[Downloads]] page.
*The music that plays during the meatloaf night scene is the theme song to "The Strong Bad", which was introduced in [[pizzaz]].
*The last time [[The Brothers Chaps]] created a YouTube exclusive was when they released [[Strong Bad Gameways]], the video ID for which appeared in a similar Easter egg in [[shapeshifter]].
*Several [[VCR]]s are hooked to [[Laser Lemon|The Cheat's oscilloscope]] from [[coloring]].
*"Seedy Rom" is a [[homophone]] of "CD-ROM".
*"Dropping an F-Bomb" is another reference to [[Swears|swearing]].
*One of the transitions is the [[Videlectrix]] mascot.
*Strong Bad [[Blatant Lies|lies]] several times about the quality and content of his video-graphing (such as the lacross game tape where Strong Bad says that Johnny/Jimmy's father was "totally there and not at Applebees!")

In many (and most cases), Strong Bad throws together stuff at the last minute, or even does the said stuff while an event is going on. Sometimes, a character (usually Homestar) will let
slip the fact that Strong Bad has thrown together something.

==Occurrences==
*Email [[local news]] — The whole email is basically about Strong Bad throwing together a news broadcast for Strong Badia, and Strong Bad himself [[blatant lies|blatantly lies]] that he's going to do something totally unrelated to the broadcast.
*Email [[videography]] — Homestar refers to Strong Bad as "aka Strong Bad", but only because Strong Bad said the same thing on his email presumably before he started recording his demo reel.
*Email [[pizza joint]] — Strong Bad throws together a fake pizza joint that becomes a big success.

== 2009 starts off with a bang, eh? ==

I can't believe we're already almost 2 weeks into the new year and still no new updates. This is seeming like it's going to be a repeat of the infamous Summer Vacation. I just hope the Brothers Chaps are actually on vacation, rather than lazing around. Besides that, it's been a while since sbemail 200... do you think we've seen the end of Strong Bad Emails for good?

:Once again, please stop worrying about it, and take any speculation to the forum. Thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
::I don't see this being speculation. I think this is a general question. It seems to be a little bit of a harsh response. I've spent some time on Wikipedia now, and I'm aware that they have a policy ''Assume Good Faith''. Perhaps we should have it on this Wiki as well? --{{User:Blow Up the Ocean/sig}} 20:58, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
:::In no part of my response did i not assume good faith. It's just that wondering about when there's going to be an update is not constructive to the knowledge base, and therefore continuing to do so is a waste of wiki resources. There IS a place where people can wonder about homestar-related things all they want, and that is the forum. There's nothing "bad faith" about a post that belongs on the forum, but that doesn't mean that it is acceptable here. That's all i was saying. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Upon what time is Homestarruner.com updated if there is to be an update on any given Monday. I curiously ask because I think a new hremail might emerge this week should there be an update. 9.359.39.92 (Horatio the Lamb)

== DVD ==

There's a new DVD, but it's SBCG4AP and it's hosted on Telltale and not the Store. How do you put that on the main page? {{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 17:50, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

A new Homestar Shirt with the design from the hoodie is here. But, I don't know when it was added. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 18:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

'''Date:''' Monday, June 8, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 5:10

'''Page Title:''' You know dang well!

==Transcript==
''{Open to a view of Gunhaver, Crackotage, Silent Rip walking in a swamp. The title "Two Part Episode: Part Two" appears, with "written on the john by A. Chimendez". The three start walking out the swamp and on to a grassy area.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' You sure this is where the Topplegangers' Hideout is?

'''GUNHAVER:''' I hope so. If not, we're surrounded by an entirely different rag-tag band of mercenaries.

''{Suspenseful music sting plays. Four silhouetted Topplegangers appear from the bushes, pointing guns at Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All together now boys.

'''ALL:''' ''{nervously}'' Mmmm...gulp!

''{Subtlefuge walks out of the bushes}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Well, if it isn't my good twin brother, Crapotage. And a couple of Cheat Commandos. ''{pronounced cuh-mon-dos}''

''{Cut to Crackotage next to Silent Rip}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Not anymore, Subtlefuge. We're on our own!

'''SILENT RIP:''' And we need your help to break into the Headquarters Playset and free Blue Laser.

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' And how do we know this isn't a trap?

''{Cut to Gunhaver melting with his boxers full of lips on it showing.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' I've been wearing these same boxers for three ''{Crackotage and Silent Rip get disturbed expressions}'' days!

''{Cut back to Subtlefuge}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Euhhg! I'm convinced. You might as well meet the rest of the Topplegangers.

''{Cut to a scene with one of the Topplegangers, the Toppleganger is wearing glasses, also has a mustache, and has a gray skin color, wearing a pink shirt saying "BAD GUY", with a German helmet with a skull on it.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Dryghost.

''{Cut to another scene with another Toppleganger, who has 2 scars, a green mohawk, a blue skin color, a chain around his chest, and a black coat.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Swampslash.

''{Cut to another scene with just trees, where a Toppleganger falls from [[Hammerspace]]. Toppleganger has colorful clown hair, a bright yellow skin color, multicolored spots, and wears facepaint and a grenade belt.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Fudgeclank.

'''FUDGECLANK:''' ''{goofy clown laughter}''

''{The Topplegangers all gather beside Subtlefuge.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE''': Each is sold separately with rifle and gear.

''{The "[[Cheap as Free]]" logo appears in the bottom left corner. Cut an exterior shot of the Cheat Commandos HQ, zooming in to the inside. Flashfight stands in front of [[The Screen]], on which is a diagram and the words "OPERATION TAKE 'EM DOWN".}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' And then we all reverse flank, drop trou, and the insurgents should surrender! Any questions?

''{Cut to Fightgar and Firebert.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, can we let Blue Laser out so we can maybe have some fun for once?

''{Fightgar and Firebert start laughing.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Uh-uh! Don't make me have to fire ''you'', Firebert. I'd hate to waste such an exquisite commando name!

'''FIREBERT:''' ''{Sad The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to Reynold and Blue Laser Commander in Reynold's office. A picture of Gunhaver is on the wall}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{to picture of Gunhaver}'' And I'd like to submit a formal request for you to shut your face whenever it's convenient for you, and if not, then no problem!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Aw, come on! Really let 'er rip!

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{shaking and jumping towards the picture}'' I'll tear off your face! I'll tear it right off! I'll tear it off and wear it to town!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{shocked}'' Whoa! Struck a nerve there, eh, little Scrawnjob?

'''REYNOLD:''' Mmmm, Scrawnjob! I like the sound of that.

''{Suspenseful music sting plays. Cut to the Topplegangers' hideout, where the Topplegangers and the ex-Cheat Commandos are gathered around a table. Subtlefuge lays out a sheet labeled "Cheat Commandos Headquarters Playset Assembly Instructions".}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Here are the plans!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Where did you get those?!

'''DRYGHOST:''' We've had 'em for a while. I got the headquarters playset for my Bar Mitzvah.

'''SWAMPSLASH:''' It looks like this rear battery cover leads to the holding cell.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Then that's our way in!

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' We'll take the Ramshankle!

''{Cut to the Topplegangers and former Commandos in a beat up boat with a pair of wings and a tank turret attached to it.}''

'''SINGERS:''' It's the Ramshankle, and you know dang well, it's made out of old vehicles that we couldn't sell!

''{Cut to Flashfight and the Cheat Commandos.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Since you've all been working so hard, I have a little surprise for you. Non-Violent Dressage Mishaps Volume 4!

'''ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{groans}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I wanted to watch... ponies... fightin'.

''{Cut to the others outside the battery cover.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' There's the battery cover, but how will we ever get it open?

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Leave that to Swampslash, our master of disguise. He speaks three different languages, and can blend in anywhere.

'''SWAMPSLASH:''' ''{dressed as a battery}'' Uh... Charge. Positive. Negative. Rabbit. Um... Lick?

''{The cover bursts open, revealing a group of severely-corroding batteries, and releasing clouds of dust. Everyone starts coughing.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' No wonder the electronic lights and sounds stopped working. These batteries haven't been changed since Donnie's twelfth birthday!

''{Cut to Reynold's office. Gunhaver crashes through the wall.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Sorry Blue Laser, you've stayed in jail for the last time!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{happily}'' Can I get a "''bo''-nus"?!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Bonus! Now get out there and make with the evil schemes!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' "Evil scheme" is quite literally my middle name! It's Slovenian!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Ha! This terlet has the green water in it! A-cool!

''{Cut to outside battery cover. Blue Laser Commander walks out through the empty battery compartment.}''

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' Now, there's the slight matter of our er, um, uh, let me think of it, how do say, er, uh...payment!

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{looking surprised}'' Oh! Uh... right. How do you feel about defaulted, unpaid, triple mortgages on restaurant spaces?

'''SUBTLEFUGE:''' As good as gold!

''{Cut to the HQ interior, where Fightgar, Ripberger, Firebert and two green helmets face [[The Screen]]}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And then...

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Once again...

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ...absolutely nothing happened.

'''ALL:''' Awwww...

''{Blue Laser Commander appears on screen. Suspenseful music sting plays.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Attention Cheat Commandos!

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' How did ''he'' get out!?

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' You're already too late! We've flooded all the country's amusement parks with counterfeit Skee-Ball tickets, causing the cost of Skee-Ball prizes to sky-rocket!

'''ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{gasp}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' And why should the military be concerned with this?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' You'll never get away with it, Blue Laser!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Oh, it wasn't my idea. Meet Blue Laser's newest evil mastermind, Scrawnjob!

''{Danger Music plays, Reynold shows up on screen, wearing large goggles, a baggy Blue Laser uniform and a jagged red necktie with skulls on it.}''

'''REYNOLD/SCRAWNJOB:''' That's right, Cheat ComannDON'TS! Say goodbye to those oversized novelty sunglasses! And that boom box was never attainable!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' So, you've made a game for eight-year-olds slightly more of a rip-off. I still don't see how this affects global security.

''{Cut to Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage, who are now in the room.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Don't you see, Admiral? Without plastic crap to win, kids will have no recourse but to join criminal groups! The world will be overrun with lasers of ''all'' colors!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{halfheartedly}'' Oh no, Gunhaver figured it out, rendering my plan useless through the TV! Bested again by my old nemesis.

'''ALL:''' Yay!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Oh well. I suppose you two are ridiculous enough to justify the other's existence. Here, Gunhaver, you can... have gun. ''{gives Gunhaver's gun back to him}''

'''GUNHAVER''': Thanks! ''{shoots Flashfight}''

'''ALL:''' {gasp}

'''GUNHAVER:''' No, it's cool. He's wearin' that bullet-proof vest from earlier.

''{Reinforcements comes in, wearing the bullet-proof vest.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey guys.

''{Gunhaver looks at Reinforcements with shock.}''

''{Quick cut to the theme song ending screen.}''

'''SINGERS:''' -ets and toys!!

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "playsets" at the end to see Crackotage rhyming.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Dressage|Dressage]] is a style of horse competition, emphasizing the movement and grace of horse and rider.
*A [[Wikipedia:Bar Mitzvah|Bar Mitzvah]] is the coming of age ceremony for Jewish males that takes place at age 13. The female equivalent, Bat Mitzvah, takes place at age 12.

===Trivia===
[[Image:DressageMishaps.png|thumb|"And, once again... absolutely nothing happened."]]
*When Gunhaver bursts into Reynold's Office, the wall he breaks through had a drawing of him on it. He has the same pose and expression as the drawing for a noticeable moment.
*Before Blue Laser comes onto the screen, a few frames from "Non-Violent Dressage Mishaps Volume 4" can be seen.
*Silent Rip mentions the playset belongs to [[Donnie Chapman|Donnie]].

===Remarks===
*Gunhaver says, "This terlet has the green water in it!" Although there is green sludgy looking water around the base of the "terlet", the water inside it is light blue.
*When the ex-Cheat Commandos and the Topplegangers are riding in the Ramshankle, Silent Rip is not visible.

===Goofs===
*When the melting Gunhaver moves his arm, it covers a wrinkle in his shirt, even though it should create another.
*When the Cheat Commandos gasp at the shooting of Flashfight, Fightgar's face and left arm do not move with his body.
*The text on Dryghost's t-shirt is backwards when he is seen riding the Ramshankle.

===Inside References===
*Fightgar reminisces watching [[Pony Fights 2|Pony Fights]], previously seen in [[Commandos in the Classroom]].
*The words "BAD GUY" on Dryghost's t-shirt are likely a reference to [[Strong Bad]]'s tattoo idea in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*"[[Toilets|Terlet]]" is a reversal of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
**The script was "written on the john", another euphemism for a toilet.
*The Taranchula Easter egg recalls [[Trudgemank]].
*Flashfight mentions that Firebert's commando name is "exquisite", a play on the running joke that Firebert is a terrible commando name, begun in [[army]].
*Flashfight's plan involves the Commandos dropping their [[pants]].
*Subtlefuge refers to Crackotage as [[Crap]]otage.
*The [[battery]] disguise and the associated sounds are of the same style as those in [[bike thief]].
*Flashfight appears to have been [[death|killed off]] at the end.

===Real World References===
*Swampslash mentioning a rabbit while dressed like a battery is a reference to the mascot for [[Wikipedia:Energizer_Bunny|Energizer batteries]].
*The line "Each is sold separately with rifle and gear" is a reference to an '80s [[Wikipedia:A-Team#Merchandise|A-Team]] toy commercial. In that commercial, they say the same exact line about the A-Team action figures.
*Reynold's pseudonym Scrawnjob is a reference to the rarely seen G.I. Joe character, [[Wikipedia:Snow Job (G.I._Joe)|Snow Job]].
*Flashfight's plan Operation Take 'em Down is a plan to moon the enemy. A similar battle strategy occured in [[Wikipedia:Braveheart|''Braveheart'']].
*Subtlefuge claiming Swampslash "is a master of disguise", "can speak 3 languages", and "can blend in anywhere" is probably a reference to G.I. Joe character [[Wikipedia:Zartan|Zartan]].

== Mr. Wizard ==

What exactly was Mr. Wizard? Presumably it was some TV show or something, but does anybody have any information on it? --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

:[[imdb:tt0085060|"Mr. Wizard's World"]], was the lastest. [[imdb:tt0043244|"Watch Mr. Wizard"]] was the original. More can be found throgh [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22mr+wizard%22 Google].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:14, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)

i went to www.tv.com, and there was no guide there so, i don't know what the episode guide is. -[[user:Bassium!|Bassium!]]

Mr. Wizard was awesome. Basically, it was this guy who did little experiments with various child helpers, and he would explain various scientific principles. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't know. [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:38, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)[[User: The 386]]

I don't know. [[User:The 386|The 386]] 22:38, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Hi, 386. If you don't have anything meaningful and helpful to add to a discussion, don't add anything at all. Thanks. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 23:04, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== A Note! A Note! ==

*Homestar looking into the camera and saying "A note!" again, is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Blue's Clues|Blue's Clues]], where the host does the same thing. 
Am I the only one who finds this a stretch? One other possibility I can think of is the Monty Python cartoon "Conrad Poohs is about to receive a congratulatory telegram." The narrator points out that it is actually a letter by pointing to it and saying, "A letter. A letter." [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 05:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:Do you mind if I remove it? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 04:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, it is probably a stretch, unless we can see a clear example that demonstrates that the similarity is more substantial than just the repetition. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== What to call the console in the video? ==

I put up in the transcript that Homestar was carrying a Funmachine, even though it's obviously an Atari 2600, since Strong Bad had a similar-looking game console in SBCG4AP, but TBC still say it's an Atari 2600. Should we keep the 2600 description, or should we change it to a Funmachine?

BTW, GreenHelmet thought this issue might warrant discussion.

Lappy 486

2009-04-18T21:24:18Z

Everybody!: /* Quick Facts */ Did hands-on research while repairing own Lappy's screen (LCD is sandwiched between 2 glass plates, with two polarizing filters on each side, glass is rigid, filter is flexible)

[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|right|thumb|"Now that is a classy start-up noise!"]]
[[Image:Lappy logo.PNG|right|thumb|The Lappy's logo.]]

The '''Lappy 486''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s third and current computer, manufactured by [[Compy, Inc]]. It utilizes a more modern email client that includes a subject line, a reply panel, and the following easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. (Delete, Save, Computer, and Image are usually hidden behind Strong Bad's head.) However, all of it disappears when Strong Bad clears the screen to continue typing.

The Lappy seems to be Strong Bad's favorite computer to date, as evidenced by how highly he speaks of it in [[animal]]. Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy" (though his attempt to repeat it is out of tune).

In [[animal]], it is revealed that the Lappy is male, as Strong Bad says, "Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails," and tells [[The Paper]] to "come and meet [his] new brother". Despite this, the Lappy tends to appear in [[#Female Lappy 486|female form]] much more often.

In addition to the usual [[DELETED!]] feature, the Lappy can also flash a "DO OVER!!" screen with an explosion effect, as seen in [[do over]].

Despite its excessive weight, Strong Bad has been seen carrying it on various occasions.

==Quick Facts==
[[Image:Lappybackside.png|right|thumb|The back of the Lappy 486 from [[isp]].]]
'''Debut:''' First seen in "[[animal]]." First mentioned by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the "[[invisibility]]" [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary.

'''Interactive Feature:''' Clicking on the Lappy's screen simulates the effect seen on LCD Monitors: applied force moves the polarizing filter for the display within the immediate vicinity of the force, causing varying distortions of light and dark. Whenever the Lappy 486 is seen in an email or toon, the screen can be clicked to get the effect that is similar on most LCD flat panel monitors. The circle matches the color of what is in the reflection (i.e. red for Strong Bad's head, green for Strong Bad's eyes, etc.). If you hold the mouse button or move it slightly while clicking the Lappy's screen, the effect won't move with the mouse; it will go away if you leave its circle of effect. This is also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons besides the Polish [[Block]].

'''Operating System:''' In an interview with Strong Bad on [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|The Screen Savers]], Strong Bad states that his computer runs on an operating system known as "2S-point-Cynics 5, The Upgrade". The spelling of this was guessed, so it is not completely accurate.

'''Font:''' [[Fonts#Glitch0|Glitch0]]

'''[[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|Screen Ratio]]:''' 1.67:1 (width:height) or 5:3, as opposed to a normal screen of 1.3:1 (4:3), a high-definition screen of 1.78:1 (16:9), and a widescreen of 1.85:1.

'''Emails checked on the computer so far:''' 82 

==Features==
[[Image:Strong Bad Email 119.png|right|thumb|The Lappy 486's horribly outdated features.]]
*42 pounds!! (19 kilograms—"Extremely portable" according to Strong Bad in [[animal]]; he later describes it as "allegedly portable" in [[technology]].)
*2MB Hard Drive! (Later said to be 5MB, as of [[retirement]])
*"Several" Color Monitor
*Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in [[part-time job]])
**In [[Homestar Ruiner]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Bad claims the Lappy's battery takes five to seven business days to fully charge ("The Lappy don't charge on weekends.")
*512K RAM (0.5 MB)
*"Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy
*Although never mentioned, the Lappy may support a wireless internet connection. In [[part-time job]], [[isp]], [[Happy Dethemberween]], [[licensed]], [[rated]], [[your edge]], and [[email thunder]], it can be seen that Strong Bad does not use the Lappy's Ethernet socket.
*In the email [[environment]], claims made about the Lappy include:
**Every time the "enter" key is pressed, everyone else in town will temporarily lose electricity.
**When the Lappy runs on battery power, 45 acres of rainforest are burned to the ground.
*An "Undelete" feature, shown in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

==Colors==
[[Image:lappyemail.png|right|thumb|Lappy 486's email client.]]
The screen boasts "several" colors in the email [[animal]]. The number of colors present suggest that the Lappy 486 uses at least a VGA display.

:*'''Black:''' background color
:*'''White:''' text
:*'''Blue:''' email client title bar, shortcut keys, and rolling over emails titles on the menu, [[Edgar#Edgar's Baby's Daddy|Edgar's Baby's Daddy]]

:*'''Light Brown:''' the "not really break dancing" rat, also in [[isp]]
:*'''Teal:''' The background of the "Teal Screen of Near Death" in [[retirement]]
:*'''Turquoise:''' 'flavored water' in [[rough copy]]

==Programs==
[[Image:sbemail lappy2.png|right|thumb|Strong Bad checks his email.]]
Some of the programs Strong Bad has on the Lappy 486, most of which are started by typing the filename only after the prompt:

*'''strongbad_email.exe''' — (Used in emails 119-current except for [[secret identity|email 142 (secret identity)]] (see below), [[retirement|email 159 (retirement)]], which had two emails checked on the Tandy and the Compy, and [[from work|email 169 (from work)]] which was checked on the [[Corpy NT6]].)
*'''run "Edga Jr."''' ([[long pants]]) — filters emails with indents
*'''run "webcam"''' ([[death metal]]) — initiates live video chat with [[Larry Palaroncini]]
*'''strongbad_email.wad''' ([[secret identity]]) — Strong Bad inexplicably types this to access his email (DOS usually does not recognize WAD files as executables).
*'''screen_savior.exe''' ([[technology]]) — runs an infinitely repeating 3D Maze screensaver with poor graphics
*'''Edgar's Baby's Daddy''' (filename unknown) ([[candy product]]) — Filters emails from [[Homestar Runner]]
*'''karatecar.exe''' ([[the movies]]) — an [[ASCII art]] movie played on the Lappy's screen
*'''strongbad3Dtotal.wad''' ([[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]) — A simple 3D game featuring Strong Bad and Homestar.
*Some type of voice synthesizer.
*'''CG4AP101.wad''' ([[Homestar Ruiner]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Homestar Ruiner, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''other_gems.exe''' and '''more_other_gems.exe''' ([[being mean]]) — displays other emails this email's sender, Nice Dad, has sent.
*'''CG4AP102.wad''' ([[Strong Badia the Free]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Strong Badia the Free, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''CG4AP103.wad''' ([[Baddest of the Bands]]' Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Baddest of the Bands, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''CG4AP104.wad''' ([[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''CG4AP105.wad''' ([[8-Bit is Enough]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for 8-Bit is Enough, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.

==The Real Computer==
[[Image:Real-Live E-Mails_Disc4.JPG|thumb|The "real" Lappy, as seen in [[Real-Live E-Mails]].]]
The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.

The Lappy seems to be inspired by the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1005 Mac Portable], a 16-pound transportable Macintosh that sold poorly.

The "real" Lappy (pictured) is an old [[Wikipedia:Compaq LTE|Compaq LTE series laptop]].

The Lappy 486's prompt, a closing square bracket, was also used by the Apple II series of computers, although MS-DOS could be configured to produce this prompt.

==Lappy-napping==
[[Image:Computers in harmony.png|thumb|"I coulda sworn one of you guys liked hushpuppies."]]
At the end of [[cliffhangers]], the Lappy was stolen. The perpetrators left behind a ransom note stating "i got your Lappy" along with the Lappy's severed "toe" (the "< ," key). After searching for his missing computer in [[Lappynapped!]], Strong Bad discovered that the [[Tandy 400]] and the [[Compy 386]] had kidnapped the Lappy so that he would answer one last email on each of them. Strong Bad answered the Tandy's and the Compy's last emails in [[retirement]], and in the process destroyed both of them and retrieved the Lappy. Strong Bad took his favorite "portable" computer out to get hushpuppies with the restored, at-peace ghosts of the two other computers and [[The Paper]] following along in harmony.

==Female Lappy 486==
[[Image:female_lappy_486.png|thumb|Strong Bad's looking prooty hot.]]
The Female Lappy 486 appears in Strong Bad's dream email in [[dreamail]]. She's basically the Lappy 486 logo with blonde hair and makeup. She appears when Strong Bad starts up the Lappy, telling him that he's "looking prooty hot". Female Lappy 486 fawns over Strong Bad for his reply to an e-mail ("Well played, Strong Bad. Those ladies are sure to be [[all up ons]]."). After Strong Bad flies away at the end of the e-mail, she appears in an Easter egg, telling Strong Bad not to fly, that's she's worried about him, and that she can see the strings which are holding him above ground. Apparently, she seems to rely on Strong Bad.

The monitor of Female Lappy 486 is bordered with a gold chain bearing the phrase, "MY LAPPY ATE YOUR DOG" inscribed on top.

It has since then appeared on the normal Lappy, suggesting that it is an actual feature of it.

Female Lappy 486 frequently makes [[Malapropisms|spelling]] and [[Deliberately poor English|grammar]] mistakes, such as "prooty hot", "one unread messages", "is understairs", "I'm hate hushpuppies", and "tell whim I love", and speaks with a voice that sounds somewhat like a computer [[Wikipedia:Speech synthesis|speech synthesizer]].

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Sippin' on a bottle of email, cold, having a picnic lunch with some co-workers.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bad crayon namers</div>
Dear awesome, 
have you ever thought how rediculous some crayon names are....I mean "blizzard blue"...thats stupid...and "Laser lemon"...??? 
-much love 
Ter 
Andover,MN
</blockquote>

''{After "Dear awesome", Strong Bad adds, "Oh! Somebody finally got it right!"; at the first ellipsis, he adds, "Oh, you mean like, Red Iculous?" and a red crayon labeled "Red Iculous" appears; and after reading the name "Laser lemon", he repeats surprisedly:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Laser lemon?! ''{picking up a phone}'' The Cheat, halt production immediately!

''{Cut to the garage, where The Cheat is using a soldering iron and an oscilloscope to build a [[Laser Lemon|laser with lemons]] on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{over the PA}'' Crayola beat us to the punch. Let's shift focus to... "Laser Limes". ''{The Cheat looks annoyed and a black "cloud" briefly appears over his head}'' Or maybe just laser beams.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noise which sounds unmistakably like "Okay."}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where Strong Bad resumes reading the email. He reads "Andover,MN" as "And over, and over, and over, M N."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ter? What is that, short for Terbert? Or Terlliam? Or Terthew? ''{clears screen}'' Welter, the crayons of my youth had pretty awesome names. Especially the ones that came with my Limozeen 1989 "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" Tour coloring book!

''{Cut to a view of this coloring book, which has a drawing of two members of Limozeen on the cover. As Strong Bad says each of the following color names, a corresponding crayon appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There was Leather Black, Ripped Denim Blue, Groupie Lipstick Red, Skin Flesh ''{pink}'', Hairspray Blond ''{yellow}'', and Tight Shiny Purple. It even came with a cassette tape with a song about how to color!

''{A yellow cassette tape labeled "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" appears. Switch to a view of the first page of the coloring book, which shows Larry and Gary performing. Below this is the text "Gary and Larry rehearse their moves". The page has been colored to look like Larry's guitar has caught fire, and a laser is drawn firing from the guitar with the word "vpoo" over it.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Grab a box of sixty-four,—

''{Changes to the next page, which shows Limozeen with the text "We are in a band called Limozeen!" Perry's skin has been colored green with blue hair, Larry has been colored with a black eye and blood dripping with the words "be tup" colored on his shirt, and Mary has been colored with an extra set of arms coming out of his head doing the evil fingers, the words "2 sets!" are also colored above his head.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' —with a sharpener a-built right in,—

''{Change to next page, which shows Larry with two women. The text says "<s>Larry</s> Strong Bad always serenades the 'of-age' ladies after the show". Larry's face has been colored like Strong Bad's, and his hands have been drawn to look like red boxing gloves. The girls have the [[Wikipedia:Canadian Flag|Canadian Flag]] colored onto their shirts.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Dump 'em all out onto the floor,—

''{Change to next page, which shows Mary with a face drawn on his abdomen; the text says, "Drummers almost never wear shirts while playing a big show." The rest of the page remains colorless.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' —and let the party begin!

''{Change to next page, which shows Gary leaping into the air while playing the guitar; he has been colored to wear a Los Angeles Lakers uniform, have dark skin, and hold a basketball; a basketball hoop and defending player have also been drawn in. The text reads "Gary's playing some "air" guitar. Get it?"}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Outside the lines!

''{The next page shows Perry with Teeg Dougland at the soundboard; the text reads "Producer/ manager/ roadie/ webmaster Teeg Dougland shows Perry how to tweak the reverb." They have both been colored to look like old ladies with wrinkles, grey hair, lipstick and fingernails all colored in.}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Inside your heart!

''{The next page shows Larry and Perry, who is wearing a bear mask; the text reads "'That bear mask has GOT to go!!!' shouts Larry."}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Those crayons of mine!

''{The next page shows Mary and Larry barbecuing; a large, vicious-looking hot dog has been drawn standing behind them; The Cheat has been drawn peeking from around the barbecue. Mary's skin has been colored blue, The text reads, "Back home from the road, Mary and Larry say, 'It's Grilla Time!'"}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Hey, hey, let's go back to the start!

''{The last page shows Larry with Gary and Perry performing, but is not colored. The text reads, "Larry is screaming like a demon. And the other two are playing guitars." The music stops.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, looks like I missed one! As much as I respect you guys as artists, it's time to melt your faces off.

''{Strong Bad uses the Skin Flesh crayon to draw on Larry's face as the music from the first drawing of Trogdor plays. The crayon breaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, crudcrap! My Skin Flesh broke!

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad at his table holding the broken crayon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where'm I gonna get another one of these at this hour? Ooh, wait! I bet Marzipan's teaching her kindergarten class down at the Montesodium school! Those kids eat crayons like they were paste!

''{Cut to Marzipan in the Classroom; the blackboard reads "SOY IS ALSO MURDER"}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{finishing a monologue}'' ...so that way, you always feel guilty!

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Goody Marzipan. Can I borrow some crayons? I broke my Skin Flesh!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looks aghast, then angry}'' Shhh! Strong Bad, not in front of the class!

''{Cut to a view of the class, which consists of Homsar, Strong Mad and Homestar Runner wearing yellow shirts. Homsar has a stack of blocks on his desk that reads "TURD".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Teach-orr! I have go bafroom!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why can't I say "Skin Flesh" in front of the—uh, ''children?''

'''MARZIPAN:''' First of all, we don't call them children. They're "life blossoms"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Life blossoms?! Marzipan, what kind of cult are you running here?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, a pretty standard one. ''{cut to a closeup of Marzipan}'' Anyway, we don't use the term "Skin Flesh". The color you're looking for is "Dermal Discoveries".

''{A pink roll loosely resembling a crayon with the words "Dermal Discoveries" appears. Some notes played on a acoustic guitar are heard. Cut to a view from behind Marzipan, facing Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's that scramble?! What about Lipstick Red?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, no, no. Too gender-specific. We use "Crimson Suggestion".

''{A red roll with the words "Crimson Suggestion" appears. More acoustic notes play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, how 'bout Hairspray Blond?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Vague Pigmentation!

''{A yellow roll with the words "Vague Pigmentation" appears. Acoustic notes are heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leather Black?

'''MARZIPAN:''' We just call that "blue."

''{A black roll with the word "Blue" appears. More acoustic notes are heard. Homestar Runner moves into view.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Teacherman, ''{cut to face Homestar Runner}'' are we just gonna talk about crowns all day?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ta'-'bou'-wha'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crowns! You know! For coloring! A box of crowns!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{chuckling}'' You mean, crayons? Cray-ons?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks angry}'' Oh, I don't need this. I'm going to the liberry! To read me some pie-pie comics!

''{Return to view of Marzipan and Strong Bad from the front.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What kind of grades does Homestar get?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, roots and grass, mostly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Roots and grass? What're those, like, D's? D minusesses?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, they're F's.

''{Cut back to the last page of the coloring book.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, boys. Prepare to make some dermal discoveries!

''{Strong Bad begins to draw with the Dermal Discoveries "crayon." Nothing happens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the— what's wrong with this stupid crown—on?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan in front of the table.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, didn't I tell you? Our crayons don't actually color so that no one life blossom shines brighter than any other. That way, they're ''all'' special!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I never had any doubts that all your students were ''{uses hand quotes}'' "special", Marzipan.

''{Cut to close up on Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And they're made from 100% pressed bunson, so they double as a healthy snack! Mmm! ''{eats a "Crimson Suggestion" and leaves.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the table. A bundle of Marzipan's "crayons" appears in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing, his words appear under the bundle of "crayons."}'' Pressed bunson, you know it's pressed bunson. Preeeeow!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down as Larry sings the last word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...the crap is pressed bunson?

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Homestar reportcardnew.png|thumb|170px|They're life blossoms!]]
*Click on "Dear awesome" after Strong Bad mentions "Red Iculous" to see a "Dear Awesome" colored crayon.
*Likewise, click on "some crayon" and see a "Some Crayon" colored crayon.
*Click on "L.U.R.N." on Homestar's shirt when he walks up to Marzipan to see the [[:Image:LURN logo corrected.png|logo]] for [[L.U.R.N.]], or "Life-Blossoms Undergoing Re-programming Naturally."
*Click on the word Murder on the chalkboard after Strong Bad asks about Homestar's grades to see his report card.
*At the end, click on the [[Limozeen Coloring Book]] to see the whole thing (it comes up in a new window). It has three pages and two colors not featured in the email. You can color it with the included crayons, or [[Printables|print it out]].

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The [[Laser Lemon|device next to The Cheat]] is an [[Wikipedia:Oscilloscope|oscilloscope]].
* Goody (short for Goodwife) is an [[Wikipedia: Goodwife|archaic form of address for lower class women]] dating from the 17th century, primarily in Puritan New England.
*"Special" is often used as a euphemism to refer to developmentally challenged people.
*On the page of the Limozeen coloring book where Larry is crossed out to reveal Strong Bad serenading the "of age" groupies, they are wearing Canadian flag tops. Those "of age" to consent in Canada are 14 and above.

===Trivia===
*The crayons in the Easter egg contain two colors not featured in the email: "Roadie [[Puking|Puke]] Green" and "Sweet Boots Brown".
*This is the first time we see Marzipan in Strong Bad's house, as well as the first time we actually hear her laugh.
*The coloring book Easter egg originally did not have an "Undo" button to go back a step when coloring, so if you made a mistake well into your drawing, you'd have to erase it all. It was added later.
*In the drawing of the coloring book where Larry is serenading the "of-age" ladies, he is holding a [[G]] chord on the guitar.
*This is the first Email in over a month to include the standard text for The Paper. In [[cliffhangers]] and [[retirement|retirement A]], it told viewers to watch the next email and in [[retirement|retirement B]] it was unclickable and admitted to liking hushpuppies. It was not seen at all in [[Lappynapped!]], released in between cliffhangers and retirement.

===Remarks===
*This is the first time that The Cheat says something clearly in English, though still retaining his accent.
*The Lappy's "toe" (which was removed in [[cliffhangers]] and was missing in [[retirement]]) is back.
*The cards above the chalkboard read "4, I3, (, I>, 3, I=, 6, #, 1" which are [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] representations of the letters A through I.
*This is the first/closest The Cheat has gotten to saying a word in English ("Okay") outside of his [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons, although some of his [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|The Cheat noises]] have strongly suggested English phrases in the past.
*Both [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]] and [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] are wearing blue shirts with white stars, in the style of Homestar's shirt.
*If you download the Flash file for the Limozeen coloring book Easter egg directly to your computer, it will ask you if you want to print a page when you open it.
*Each member of Limozeen seems to change appearance (hairstyle, instrument) in most of the pictures in the coloring book, making it hard to distinguish them from one another.
*Despite claims to the contrary in the coloring book, Limozeen could not have had a "webmaster" in 1989. The [[Wikipedia:World Wide Web|world's first web browser]] was not written until 1990.
*"Crown" and "crayon" are pronounced the same in the accents of many regions in the southeastern United States.
*Strong Bad drew fire on the first page in orange, but the Limozeen coloring book doesn't come with an orange crayon. He also drew an orange basketball on the page with Gary's air guitar.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad picks up the PA phone, the text insertion character on the Lappy's screen disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was first released, "blossom" was misspelled as "blossum" in the [[:Image:LURN logo.png|T-shirt]] and [[:Image:Homestar reportcard.png|report card]] Easter eggs, and "animals" was misspelled as "animas". These have since been fixed.
*The coloring book originally misnamed several of the crayons in comparison to their email counterparts. Groupie Lipstick Red was incorrectly named "Rockin' Red" while Tight Shiny Purple was named "Ballad Purple". This has since been fixed.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad uses the same [[disconnected telephone]] to speak to The Cheat over the intercom that he used in [[replacement]].
*The scribble above The Cheat's head also appeared in [[huttah!]]
*Strong Bad has previously defaced and satirized picture books in [[kids' book]] and [[That Time of Year]].
*The "'air' guitar" image is identical to an image of Gary in the Limozeen laser show in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*When Strong Bad is coloring the Limozeen picture, the music is the same as the music that plays while he is drawing [[Trogdor]] in [[dragon]].
*Homestar calling Marzipan "Teacherman" is an example of him [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"|pronouncing "man" as "m'n"]]
*This is another appearance of [[Preeeeow]], the [[onomatopoeia]] describing The Paper's sound effect.
*"TURD" is a word for [[whatsit]].
*The fact that Strong Bad drew The Cheat peeking out from behind [[Limozeen]]'s grill is a reference to [[Where's The Cheat?]], in which it is revealed that The Cheat lives in [[The King of Town's Grill]].
*The cards above the chalkboard use the same [[font]] as the [[Compy 386]] (Commodore 64).
*Bubs uses a [[Bubs's Keytar|keytar]] in [[cheatday]].
*Strong Bad walking in the classroom as Marzipan is finishing her lecture is another instance of [[interrupted conversations]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Crayola|Crayola]] is a well known company that makes art supplies such as [[Wikipedia:Crayon|crayons]].
**"Laser Lemon" was the name of an actual [[Wikipedia:List of Crayola crayon colors|Crayola color]] which has since been replaced with Super Happy.
**"Blizzard Blue" also existed at one point, but has since been replaced with "Inchworm".
**"Skin Flesh" is also a possible reference to when Crayola renamed their color "Flesh" to "Peach" in 1962, partially to avoid racial discrimination.
*The lyrics "Grab a box of sixty-four with a sharpener a-built right in" from "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" refers to a standard Crayola 64-crayon box. These boxes usually have a plastic crayon sharpener built into the back.
*On the air guitar page, Strong Bad has "colored" a basketball jersey similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles Lakers|Los Angeles Lakers]] onto Gary.
**On the same page of the coloring book, the basketball player on the right very much resembles [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]].
*The band member wearing a bear mask is a reference to musician [[Wikipedia:John Mayer|John Mayer]] who sometimes dresses in a bear costume in order to meet and talk with fans before concerts without the fans realizing who he is.
*"Montesodium" is a [[portmanteau]] of the words "Montessori" and "Monosodium".
**[[Wikipedia:Montessori method|Montessori Schools]] are a very progressive and non-traditional schooling system used in many private schools throughout the world. It focuses on allowing children to learn at their own pace and doing away with perceived forms of competition like grading.
*The page Strong Bad tries to color says "Larry is screamin' like a demon..."; he is also shown singing with his tongue hanging out. [[Wikipedia:Gene Simmons|Gene Simmons]] of the rock band Kiss is well-known for his extraordinarily long tongue, and is also known as "The Demon".
*Homestar leaving to go read "[[pie]] pie comics" may mean he wants to read [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] comics.
*The coloring book makes mention of staying at the [[Wikipedia:Ramada|Ramada]], a well-known hotel chain.
*It's Grilla Time is a reference to "It's Miller Time", which is a famous slogan of [[wikipedia:Miller Brewing|Miller Brewing Company]]. It's also why they're holding [[Cold One|Cold Ones]] at the time.
*The subtitle on the Limozeen book, "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada", is written in the [[font]] created and used by British heavy metal band [[wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]].
*When the Cheat is told by Strong Bad to stop making the lemons that have lasers on them, a black scribble appears above his head. It looks very similar to the scribbles on top of the characters in "[[Peanuts]]" that appeared when they were mad.

Talk:love poems

Everybody!: /* The "love poem" music */

==Easter Eggs==
Well pretty good but I only found one Easter Egg it's when you click at the end "Love poems"
:There's actually '''two''' by my count. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 05:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Speaking of Strong Sad's easter egg, I don't get it... Why is Strong Sad waiting for "him" to call him???

==Gerly Werly?==
*"I herly perly on gerly wurly" is a reference to a lyric in the Manfred Mann song "Blinded By the Light." The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
I'm not sure if this is right or not. It seems like its more of a a stereotypical unintelligible British-style statement (no offense to those across the pond). Can I get a witness? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I don't quite follow. Maybe if you could give an example of something ... similar? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::I'm not quite sure, but I swear I've heard that type of speech 'fore. And I'm PRETTY '''DANG''' '''''SURE''''' of it. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Ditto. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I clearly remember that type of speech being used in Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, in the song Honey Bun: Her hair is curly-whirly, her curls are hurly-burly, her lips are pips, I call her hips, twirly and whirly! {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Since the guy says "Shakespeared," I find it most likely to be referring to "Macbeth," where the witch speaks the line "When the hurly burly's done.
::::::Maybe so, given the context, but I too thought it was a reference to "Blinded by the Light". I thought it was pretty blatantly that--the whole line sounds like the lyric, not just the two words that match Macbeth. Probably it's a play on both references?
:::::::Hurlyburly is a relatively common expression; just because it happened to be used in Macbeth doesn't mean that this is a reference to that particular usage. The Manfred Mann reference seems more likely (although it's not perfect). [[User:86.10.202.209|86.10.202.209]] 09:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty obvious to me that the only joke is based on the girls' names. Meredith puts a "th" at the end of several words, and Kimberly takes it a step further by putting a "berly" at the ends, making her speech unintelligible. I think both the Manfred Mann and the Shakespeare refs are coincidental. [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 12:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:It makes sense to me as a reference to Shakespeare, as immediately afterwards, they get SHAKESPEARED! so i think the joke is connected. Why else would shakespear appear right after a line from his own play? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:: People keep adding the "Blinded by the Light" reference, now putting it separate from the MacBeth reference. It's almost certainly not a reference to both. Should we STUFF? I think leaving JUST the Shakespeare half is fine. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Perhaps TBC put in the shakespeare reference and then thought "wait, that sounds like that blinded by the light song? lets put them both in". Highly speculative, but it goes to reasoning that it could be both -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]

== Green Tongue? ==

Anyone else notice Tenerence Love's green tongue?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 09:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah. But then again, I'd expect that from a PBTC-done clip. Color inaccuracies like the purple boxing gloves and underwears. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:It could be a reference to the Cartoon Network show ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' because in that show, the characters have multi-colored tounges. --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 22:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Actually, it's a [[Green Tongues|running gag]] of sorts, and one that probably predates the Ed(d(y)) show. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's poem ==

I know it's a type of poem, I just forgot the name. Can anyone remind me? --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 10:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== R&B Jam speculation ==

Doesn't it kind of sound a bit, melody-wise like [[wikipedia:Video Killed the Radio Star|Video Killed the Radio Star]] by [[wikipedia:The Buggles|The Buggles]]? -Alex H.

::The melody is the same in the beginning of the verses, but it seems like just coincidence to me.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 19:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

== The Rub [Doctor] ==

The entry currently says that the blackboard has the word 'Rub' and an arrow pointing to Strong Bad. I thought the arrow was just pointing down, so that the board reads
'Rubdown'. Geddit?
:Noted and fixed. Thanks! {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Sky Mall ==
I know this is already in the reference section, but I believe Homestar mentioning that he buys all his groceries from [[wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is a further reference to comedian [[wikipedia:Jim Gaffigan|Jim Gaffigan]]. One of his famous jokes is about the cereal on the bottom shelf without a box, "like it's homeless." So then he doesn't want to admit he's actually buying this ceareal to the cashier, so he says he's "holding it for a friend," and that he "buys all his groceries from [[wikipedia:Sharper Image|Sharper Image]], you know, uh, Sky Mall."--[[User:ItalianBallerina|ItalianBallerina]] 9:37, 26 May 2008 (CT)
:Sorry, thats way too much of a stretch... quite the coincidence tho -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]

== It's a Ham Jam ==

<blockquote>
This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight '''jam!''' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight '''ham/jam!'''
</blockquote>
Everyone seems to agree that "jam" is the word the first time, tons disagree about the second. Let's put our heads together. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I am confident that the second line (not the first!) of Tenerence Love's song describes an overweight ''ham'', rather than jam. People keep trying to change it to "jam". Do other people actually hear "jam" there? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::I hear "ham". (There's definitely no /dj/ sound.) It also makes sense, as hams are five, ten, or even twenty pounds. (Incidentally, I listened to it closely before even knowing what the specifics of this discussion were, and without being told what to listen for.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::As the guy who transcribed it, I'm not sure. I can't hear any consonant clearly, though I suppose "h" would be easier to hide, meaning it's a bit more likely to be "ham". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I heard "jam", then "ham" before I knew there was disagreement about it. It's certainly a jam, and then "ham" is somewhat of a random word that happens to rhyme. Just listened to it again, and the second one definitely sounds like "ham". -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 21:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Definitely "'''[[ham]]'''" {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Release Date ==

This was on at some point before 10:30 last night, that would be the 25th. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 17:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:It was released just after midnight, if I recall correctly, in EST (TBC's timezone as well as mine). So it was on Monday. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:I woke up at 2 AM this morning (CDT, UTC -5) and this was up when I checked at 3 A. At about 5:30 I looked at Google's only result for sbemail195, and it said "5 hours ago." It's cutting it close (very early toon), but it was right around the break of Monday. --[[User:75.8.93.33|75.8.93.33]] 18:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
::The file modified date is Monday, May 26, 2008 12:40:13 AM (EDT). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I live in Arizona, so it could be a time zone thing. I believe there is a three hour difference between me and the Chaps, so that would explain it. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]] 19:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar singing ==

Homestar's singing sounds to me like a reference to "Jam On It" by Newcleus. The way he performs the "This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!" rythmically sounds like "Jam on it! Jam on it! I said jam on-on-on, jam on it!" from that song.
:Huh. I just listened to the song and it ''did'' sound a bit like Homestar's "Mo'nin" song. And it would make sense knowing TBC's common references to 80s hip-hop songs. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

It's defitely the Beastie Boys track "Do it"--[[User:24.251.208.71|24.251.208.71]] 07:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:Newcleus released "Jam On It" long before the Beastie Boys even existed. Furthermore, "Jam On It" is considered a classic of hip hop, meaning that it is very likely that the Beastie Boys were imitating them.

== Garfunkel outfit? ==

The first thing I thought of when I saw Strong Bad's outfit was Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel. The blonde curly hair and black turtleneck are exactly the same; it's uncanny. Did anyone else notice this? Or is it possible the style was borrowed from somebody else? [[User:Il Cartographer|Il Cartographer]] 00:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:I see a slight resemblance but it wasn't backed up with any other context such a lyric. By the way, I found it amusing that you qualified him as "Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel" as if there was another Garfunkel out there that people knew about :-)

== poem at the end? ==

At the end of the email, SB writes

:My Homeless Roma'ic.
:Love Poems 101
:Oh the hearts you will win.
:Like this lavender scented plug-in
:New paper, come on and get some!

Is that that a specific type of poem structure? I first thought it was a haiku, but it doesn't follow the tradition 3 line 5-7-5 pattern. You poem gurus out there, please chime in. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
: First of all, you left off a line: "So there you ha' it". Secondly, haikus generally don't rhyme (although SB's poem doesn't have the BEST rhyme scheme ever...) It might have an official name, but it just looks to me like a rhyming couplet with a smaller rhyming couplet in each line. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:I think that it is just a standard AABCCB rhyme. It may be an attempt at a Sextilla, which uses that formula, but that needs eight syllables in each line. It is vaguely limerick like, but there is a line to much, roma'ic doesn't rhyme with 101, and it doesn't really scan. I think that it is just supposed to be a generic rhyme. [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 10:32, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Brother Girl ==

Aside from the whole jam/ham discussion, can i get an opinion on another line in the r&b jam? namely the last line: does anyone besides me hear "welcome girl to sweaty town"? it makes more sense than what currently written: "welcome brother sweaty town" --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 06:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Seconded.

Yeah, it's definitely "girl to."[[User:76.71.6.230|76.71.6.230]] 22:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

No,I just listened to it w/my volume on high, and I heard "brother". Or, it maybe "girl to", knowing how Tenerence usually under or over pronounces words. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=love_poems&diff=567006&oldid=567002 your one opinion] overrides that of three others. I'm sure it's "'''welcome, girl, to'''" myself. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
::I think so, too, even though I couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was when I transcribed it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Defintly girl, i got rid of the music (i can do that) and he said girl.

== Kimberlian? ==

'nother Q: does "kimberlian" refer to anything related to writing styles, or is it just a segue to the kim character? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 06:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
: It and "Meridithian" are just jokes on "Elizabethan". Notice how all three have women's names in them? The Meredith and Kim characters came out of that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Which is no coincidence, of course - "Elizabethan" describes things pertaining to the reign of [[Wikipedia:Elizabeth I|Elizabeth I]] of England. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 19:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
::: Of course. But there was no Queen Kimberly or Meredith that I'm aware of, and thus, no Kimberlian or Meredithian era. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:29, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
:::: No, they'd have been rather.. un-royal names. I was just commenting on it being natural that it has a women's name in it :) -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 19:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Shakespeare ==
Does anyone else think there are enough [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=shakespeare&go=Go references to Shakespeare] to warrant an article? [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 19:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

There appears to be something written on the back of the shopping list homestar has with him (with the basic things on it).. can anyone see what it is?
:If you zoom in on it while viewing the .swf, you can see its just what H*R says: amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

== Mary Ann? ==

That Mary Ann line has got to be a reference to something. My first reaction was [[Wikipedia:Mary Ann Summers|Mary Ann]] from Gilligan's Island, but I'm not a big enough fan of that show to know if that really makes sense. SB seems to be using it to imply that Homestar is naïve about romantic matters. Is that what her character was like? Anyone know? Ot maybe the joke is supposed to be that he was just on a roll from talking about girl names.
[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 01:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
:Or it maybe just Strong Bad insulting Homestar by calling him a girls name. Mary Ann doesn't even need a [not a boy] thing to show its a chick's name. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 03:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
::I doubt it. If you say crap, it's probably not a reference to Strong Bad, just saying the word. Same instance here. {{unsigned|MichaelXX2|}}
:Seems to me it's got to be a reference to something. It's rare for Strong Bad to spout of something as specific as calling someone "Mary Ann" without it being a reference to SOMETHING. I highly doubt the Chaps just threw out the first name they could think of for this one. [[User:Kvn8907|Kvn8907]] 23:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
::This is likely true, but what is the reference? Why Gilligan's Island? Why not Mary Ann Evans, better known as George Elliot, a famous poet? Or any other poet named Mary Ann? We may be sure they are referring to something, but we don't have any knowledge as to what that is. So we cannot note this. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

== Director The Cheat ==

I removed the following from the page (which wouldn't have been appropriate even if true):

<blockquote>Maybe it's not supposed to be Powered by The Cheat (all the previous incarnations of Tenerance Love have been powered by the cheat, but this video was featured alone, so maybe it was supposed to represent a real music video).</blockquote>

I removed it for being speculative and too much like a discussion, but it turns out it's provably false anyway: the screen notes "Director The Cheat" in the Tenerence Love segment. Just so there's no confusion. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

::Oh, nevermind. Missed the ''Directed by the Cheat'' part :-D [[User:Kvn8907|Kvn8907]] 23:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

== More apostrophes, ''or'', Tenerence Love gotta learn to say wouds wide. ==

Does anyone else think that the v's in the first two "overweight"s were missing, in a throwback to the ne'er e'er bit? The v was definitely there in the final overweight, but I didn't notice it before that.
--{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 20:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

:I can distinctly hear the 'v' sound everytime the word is sung. [[Special:Contributions/98.212.159.227|98.212.159.227]] 00:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

== The "love poem" music ==

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the music used when Strong Bad recites the love poem (with apostrophes) used in an earlier H*R thing? --[[Special:Contributions/76.230.124.252|76.230.124.252]] 16:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Yep! The music comes from "Date Nite" when The Cheat is with Marzipan at Marshmallow's L'est Stand.
-[[User:Everybody!|Everybody!]] 22:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

== Engrish? ==

Is Rub Doctor an instance of Engrish? That is, does Rub Doctor = Love Doctor? Is that the joke? Is my sense of humor broken? Am I just now getting what everyone else got the day they first watched it? If that is the joke, does this go on [[Deliberately Poor English]]? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
: I wouldn't call it Engrish so much as exaggerated, but I can see the argument. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Girl, where's my money that you owe me from all those emails that you wrote me?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: love poem</div>
Dear Mr. Strong [Bad], 
I am in love. Unfortunately, I am absotively blunderous with 
my words which I speak. Will you help me write a love poem? 
Sincerely, 
Just Another Hopeless Romantic 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses just before reading "[Bad]". He reads "Hopeless" as "homeless".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, put on your patchy-stained jacket and gather 'round the fire in the trashcan, Homeless Romantic, 'cause the Rub [Doctor] is here to help!

''{Cut to the classroom, where Strong Bad is standing in front of the blackboard, wearing a charcoal gray turtleneck and balding brown hair. The word "Rub" is written on the blackboard next to an arrow pointing downwards.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. I'm Doctor Marvin Rubdown. Did you know that writing love poems is as easy as telling a girl she's hot with the fance-pantsiest words you can think of? ''{cut to a view from Strong Bad's front-left}'' For poetic inspiration, I like to swipe the names of scented candle fragrances!

''{Fade out. Fade in to Strong Bad, still with the sweater and hair, in front of a grey background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your eyes, ''{holds up a lit orange and green candle with a label saying "Sandalwood Sage Sunset" in his left hand}'' they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset. ''{puts his hand back down.}'' Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens ''{holds up a lit white candle with a label saying "Fresh Cotton Linens" in his right hand}'' hung to dry on the deck. ''{puts his hand down, holds up a lit brown candle with a label saying "Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice" in his left hand}'' Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth. ''{puts his hand back down}'' And your nose: like an unscented emergency candle ''{holds up a white, unlabeled candle in his left hand}'' for when the power goes out.

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes.

''{Cut to a closeup of the blackboard; the "Rub" and the arrow have been erased but remain faintly visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as he speaks, the words in quotes appear on the blackboard in chalk}'' "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er, m'lo'er o' clo'er".

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad; Coach Z is leaning in from the right}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now you're sporkin' my language!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out! ''{Coach Z leaves quickly}'' Women love it when you talk all Elizabethan. ''{"-Elizabethan" appears to the right of Strong Bad.}'' But you shouldn't be afraid to get Kimberlian ''{"-Kimberlian" appears under "-Elizabethan"}'' or Meredithian ''{"-Meredithian" appears under "-Kimberlian"}'' if the need arises.

''{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene with Cheerleader and So and So; Cheerleader has an annoyed look and is wearing a shirt that reads "poi fect".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't stand the way Meredith talks!

''{Cut to a wider shot with Cheerleader, still looking annoyed, So and So, frowning, and Meredith, bending backward with a pleased look on her face and her tongue hanging out}''

'''MEREDITH:''' I'th hath a cruth on ethry boyth!

''{Cut to a yet wider shot; Cheerleader and So and So still look irritated; Meredith now has a quizzical look; Kim runs in with her mouth wide open and her hair flying behind her}''

'''KIM:''' I herly berly on gerly werly!

''{Arrowed Guy appears dressed as [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]] and spears Meredith and Kim; Cheerleader and So and So appear pleased.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Shakespeared!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But if that frilly collar stuff is too olde schoole ''{pronounces the E's in both words as "eh"}'' for you, then why not try a more contemporary approach with an overweight R&B make-out jam? ''{music begins to play}'' As long as your tone is well-dressed and sweaty enough, it doesn't matter what you say!

''{Cut to a black background with yellow lights shining out of it. Tenerence Love, holding a microphone and visibly perspiring, is in the lower right, slowly drifting to the upper left.}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ''{sings}'' This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight jam! ''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the lower left, drifting to the upper right}'' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight ham! ''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the upper center, drifting down}'' It may be five pounds, ''{the symbol for the [[Wikipedia:Pound sterling|Pound sterling]] appears in Tenerence Love's right sunglasses lens, the number 5 in his left lens}'' ten pounds, ''{the 5 changes to a 10}'' twenty pounds, ''{the 10 changes to a 20; Tenerence Love disappears and two Tenerence Loves appear on both sides and drift toward the center}'' just a little bit overweight, now welcome brother sweaty town!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And when that gets you slapped and escorted from her building by security, you can always buy a fourteen-pound bag of extra-long—

''{Homestar Runner enters from the left wearing a charcoal grey turtleneck similar to Strong Bad's, but with a black star on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Ah, ha ha, ha ha! Oh, Strong Bad. It's funny to me when you try to play grown-up!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising his fist}'' What are you talking about, Mary Ann?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows I'm the only one around here with any real no-arms-on experience with the lady-makes! ''{cut back to wider view of the classroom}'' Just listen to this little make-out inducing number I threw together this mo'nin'! ''{starts dancing and speaking in rhythm}'' This mo'nin'! ''{Strong Bad begins to dance along}'' This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, but only 'cause that little song was kind of cool!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahem!

''{Fade out. Fade in on Homestar Runner, still wearing his turtleneck and now with brown hair similar to Strong Bad's in front of a grey background. He is on the left; to the right of him a paper comes down with the word "MARZiPAN" written vertically}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' M is for milk. ''{"Milk" appears next to the "M" on the paper}'' The real stuff! ''{looking annoyed}'' Not soy. ''{no longer annoyed}'' A is for not-organic apples. ''{"APPLES" appears next to the "A" on the paper}'' Pesticides ahoy!
R is for raisins, ''{"RAISINS" appears next to the "R" on the paper}'' they give me bad gas! Z is too hard, so at this one, I'll pass. ''{"(PASS)" appears next to the "Z" on the paper}'' I is for inchiladas! ''{"inchiladas" appears next to the "i" on the paper}'' And—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what's up?

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not a love poem! That is a lavishly produced grocery list!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, ''{holds up a small piece of lined paper; writing on the other side saying "amazing thing" four times is faintly visible}'' ''here'' is my grocery list! Amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing.

''{Cut back to the wider view of the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, where you been shopping?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' SkyMall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you and Marzipan even dating right now?

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Are we even dating ''{chuckles and grins}'' right now? Are we even d— Are we even da—

''{Cut back to wider view of the classroom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quieter and lower, with a sad look}'' No, she broke up with me again this morning.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This morning?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean ''{singing and dancing as before}'' this mo'nin'!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing together}'' This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo—

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] is late 16th century England, coinciding with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It is considered the first great era of English poetry and literature, producing authors like [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. The language of the time is now considered archaic.
*The "removing of random letters" Strong Bad refers to is done in poems in order to maintain a strict [[Wikipedia:Meter (poetry)|poetic meter]].
*Tenerence Love's overweight "R&B make-out jam" is a reference to soul singers such as [[Wikipedia:Barry White|Barry White]] and [[Wikipedia:Luther Vandross|Luther Vandross]], who were overweight but still attractive to female audiences.
*Homestar's "lavishly produced grocery list" actually resembles an [[Wikipedia:Acrostic|acrostic]] poem.

===Remarks===
*The shadows offset on "-Elizabethan" and "-Kimberlian" slightly change when "-Meredithian" comes on screen.
**"-Elizabethan" also slightly moves as "-Kimberlian" is added.
*The Cheat has apparently gotten better at his Flash animations, as there are no mistakes in Tenerence Love's Music video, exempting the "£5-10-20" on his glasses (probably for effect), as well as a full range of mouth movements.

===Inside References===
*Homestar mentions his [[lack of visible arms]].
*Homestar's poem has each letter of Marzipan's name capitalized, except for one [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]].
*Homestar describes [[Not X|not]]-organic apples.
*Meredith's line echoes [[The Ugly One]]'s line, "I have a crush on every boy!", from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Cheerleader's shirt reads "poifect", another instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*The Easter egg references Brunswick [[Stew]], first mentioned in [[New Boots]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Parents|grandparents]].
*Homestar admits that [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship#Homestar and Marzipan Breaking Up|Marzipan broke up with him]].
*Homestar's grocery list is made entirely up of [[nondescript nouns]].
*Tenerence Love's [[Green tongues|tongue is green]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is an airline catalog from which passengers can order various items after leaving the plane, or by use of airplane telephones. Most of the items in the catalog are gadgets and things that would appeal to those with higher incomes.
*"I herly berly on gerly werly" is a reference to a lyric in the [[Wikipedia: Manfred Mann's Earth Band|Manfred Mann's Earth Band]] rendition of [[Wikipedia: Blinded by the Light|"Blinded By the Light"]] that was originally performed by [[Wikipedia: Bruce Springsteen|Bruce Springsteen]]. The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
*The Strong Bad Phone is similar in concept to the [[Wikipedia:Bat phone|Bat phone]], a device Commissioner Gordon used to contact [[Batman]] in time of need.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Girl, where's my money that you owe me from all those emails that you wrote me?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: love poem</div>
Dear Mr. Strong [Bad], 
I am in love. Unfortunately, I am absotively blunderous with 
my words which I speak. Will you help me write a love poem? 
Sincerely, 
Just Another Hopeless Romantic 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pauses just before reading "[Bad]". He reads "Hopeless" as "homeless".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, put on your patchy-stained jacket and gather 'round the fire in the trashcan, Homeless Romantic, 'cause the Rub [Doctor] is here to help!

''{Cut to the classroom, where Strong Bad is standing in front of the blackboard with a charcoal grey sweater and balding brown hair. Written on the blackboard next to an arrow pointing to Strong Bad is the word "Rub"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. I'm Doctor Marvin Rubdown. Did you know that writing love poems is as easy as telling a girl she's hot with the fance-pantsiest words you can think of? ''{cut to a view from Strong Bad's front-left}'' For poetic inspiration, I like to swipe the names of scented candle fragrances!

''{Fade out. Fade in to Strong Bad, still with the sweater and hair, in front of a grey background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your eyes, ''{holds up a lit orange and green candle with a label saying "Sandalwood Sage Sunset" in his left hand}'' they flicker like a Sandalwood Sage Sunset. ''{puts his hand back down.}'' Your hair flows like Fresh Cotton Linens ''{holds up a lit white candle with a label saying "Fresh Cotton Linens" in his right hand}'' hung to dry on the deck. ''{puts his hand down, holds up a lit brown candle with a label saying "Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice" in his left hand}'' Grandma's Apple Cinnamon Spice is the scented candle I would use to describe your mouth. ''{puts his hand back down}'' And your nose. Like an unscented emergency candle ''{holds up a white, unlabeled candle in his left hand}'' for when the power goes out.

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another way of fancying up a love poem is to replace random letters in the middle of words with apostrophes.

''{Cut to a closeup of the blackboard; the "Rub" and arrow have been erased but remain faintly visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as he speaks, the words in quotes appear on the blackboard in chalk}'' "It is never ever over, my lover of clover" becomes "'Tis ne'er e'er o'er, m'lo'er o' clo'er".

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad; Coach Z is leaning in from the right}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now you're sporkin' my language!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out! ''{Coach Z leaves quickly}'' Women love it when you talk all Elizabethan. ''{"-Elizabethan" appears to the right of Strong Bad.}'' But you shouldn't be afraid to get Kimberlian ''{"-Kimberlian" appears under "-Elizabethan"}'' or Meredithian ''{"-Meredithian" appears under "-Kimberlian"}'' if the need arises.

''{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene with Cheerleader and So and So; Cheerleader is wearing the words "poi fect" and has an annoyed look.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't stand the way Meredith talks!

''{cut to a wider shot with Cheerleader, still looking annoyed; So and So, frowning; and Meredith, bending backward with a pleased look on her face and her tongue hanging out}''

'''MEREDITH:''' I'th hath a cruth on ethry boyth!

''{cut to a yet wider shot; Cheerleader and So and So as before; Meredith now has a quizzical look; Kim is running in with her mouth wide open and her hair flying behind her}''

'''KIM:''' I herly berly on gerly werly!

''{Arrowed Guy appears dressed as [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]] and spears Meredith and Kim; Cheerleader and So and So appear pleased.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Shakespeared!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But if that frilly collar stuff is too olde schoole ''{pronounces the E's in both words as "eh"}'' for you, then why not try a more contemporary approach with an overweight R&B make-out jam? ''{music begins to play}'' As long as your tone is well-dressed and sweaty enough, it doesn't matter what you say!

''{Cut to a black background with yellow lights shining out of it. Tenerence Love, holding a microphone and visibly perspiring, is in the lower right, slowly drifting to the upper left.}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ''{sings}'' This is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight jam! ''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the lower left, drifting to the upper right}'' My name is Tenerence Love with a sweaty overweight ham! ''{Tenerence Love disappears and reappears in the upper center, drifting down}'' It may be five pounds, ''{the symbol for the [[Wikipedia:Pound sterling|Pound sterling]] appears in Tenerence Love's right sunglasses lens, the number 5 in his left lens}'' ten pounds, ''{the 5 changes to a 10}'' twenty pounds, ''{the 10 changes to a 20; Tenerence Love disappears and two Tenerence Loves appear on either side and drift toward the center}'' just a little bit overweight, now rhythm brother sweaty town!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And when that gets you slapped and escorted from her building by security, you can always buy a fourteen-pound bag of extra-long—

''{Homestar Runner enters from the left wearing a charcoal grey sweatshirt like Strong Bad's with a black star on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Ah, ha ha, ha ha! Oh, Strong Bad. It's funny to me when you try to play grown-up!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{raising his fist}'' What are you talking about, Marianne?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows I'm the only one around here with any real no-arms-on experience with the lady-makes! ''{cut back to wider view of the classroom}'' Just listen to this little make-out inducing number I threw together this mo'nin'! ''{starts dancing and speaking in rhythm}'' This mo'nin'! ''{Strong Bad begins to dance along}'' This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, but only 'cause that little song was kind of cool!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahem!

''{Fade out. Fade in on Homestar Runner, still wearing his grey sweater and now with brown hair similar to Strong Bad's in front of a grey background. He is on the left; to the right of him a paper comes down saying "MARZiPAN"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' M is for milk. ''{"Milk" appears next to the "M" on the paper}'' The real stuff! ''{looking annoyed}'' Not soy. ''{no longer annoyed}'' A is for not-organic apples. ''{"APPLES" appears next to the "A" on the paper}'' Pesticides ahoy!
R is for raisins, ''{"RAISINS" appears next to the "R" on the paper}'' they give me bad gas! Z is too hard, so at this one, I'll pass. ''{"(PASS)" appears next to the "Z" on the paper}'' I is for inchiladas! ''{"inchiladas" appears next to the "i" on the paper}'' And—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar!

''{Cut back to the classroom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what's up?

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not a love poem! That is a lavishly produced grocery list!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, ''{holds up a small piece of lined paper; writing on the other side saying "amazing thing" four times is faintly visible}'' ''here'' is my grocery list! Amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing, amazing thing.

''{Cut back to the wider view of the classroom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, where you been shopping?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' SkyMall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you and Marzipan even dating right now?

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Are we even dating ''{chuckles and grins}'' right now? Are we even d— Are we even da—

''{Cut back to wider view of the classroom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quieter and lower, with a sad look}'' No, she broke up with me again this morning.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This morning?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean ''{singing and dancing as before}'' this mo'nin'!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing together}'' This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo—

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there you ha' it 
My Homeless Roma'ic. 
Love Poems 101 
Oh the hearts you will win. ''{holds up a plug-in air freshener}'' 
Like this lavender scented plug-in ''{puts the air freshener back down}'' 
New paper, come on and get some!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Why isn't he calling me yet on the Strong Badphone? This email was practically tailor made for me!

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===

**"-Elizabethan" also slightly moves as "-Kimberlian" is added.

===Inside References===
*Homestar mentions his [[lack of visible arms]], and Strong Bad's poem describes noses.
*Homestar's poem has each letter of Marzipan's name capital, except for one [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]].
**Ironically, "Inchiladas" had to be written in all lowercase so it could fit on the same line.
*Homestar describes [[Not X|not]]-organic apples.
*Meredith's line echo's [[The Ugly One]]'s line, "I have a crush on every boy!", from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*The background music from [[caffeine]] is used during the Easter Egg while Strong Sad is sitting restlessly.

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Sky Mall|Sky Mall]] is an airline catalog from which passengers can order various items after leaving the plane, or by use of airplane telephones. It does not, however, sell food.
*"I herly perly on gerly wurly" is a reference to a lyric in the Manfred Mann's Earth Band rendition of "Blinded By the Light" that was orginally performed by Bruce Springsteen. The lyric is "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly."
*The Strong Bad Phone is similar in concept to the [[Wikipedia:Bat phone|Bat phone]], a device Commissioner Gordon used to contact [[Batman]] in time of need.
*The overweight R&B singer is a reference to soul singers such as Barry White, who were over weight but still attractive to female audiences

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader! ''{most likely to!}'' So and So! ''{more than likely to succeed!}'' What's Her Face! ''{least likely to care}'' The Ugly One! ''{like, mostly to secede?}''

''{Open to Cheerleader standing with What's Her Face and So and So.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh boy, girls... Boys!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Uh, what about them?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nothing really. I just like to say the word.

''{Cut to close up of Cheerleader.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{makes a weird face}'' Boys.

''{Cut back to everyone. The Ugly One walks in with a "YEAR BOOK".}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Last day of school, my better looking sistas! And that means it's YEARBOOK DA--''(gets cut off before last syllable)''

''{Quick cut to the girls fighting inside a cloud of dust.}''

'''ALL:''' LEMME SEE MY PICTURE! LEMME SEE MY PICTURE!

''{Cut to Cheerleader with a frown pulling the book out of the pile. The cover of the book now reads, "The AWKWARDIAN '08".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Gimme that jank. ''{pile disappears}'' Here I am, right between Cheerladder and Cheerlubber. Ugh. I look terrible.

''{Close-up of the yearbook, showing Cheerladder (a ladder with a face, holding a "G'backs" megaphone), Cheerleader with a fangs and a dead bird stuck to her face, and Cheerlubber, a whale with pom-poms, a pirate hat and an eye-patch}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{off screen}'' I can't believe they scheduled school pictures for the same day as tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day. That finch was hard to kill.

''{Cut to So-and-so, holding up her hand.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Before I can dabble in any yearbookery... ''{moves her hand to her chest}'' I have some final exams to ACE!! ''{raises her hand again, looking determined}'' Scantron armor... ''{flies into the air}'' ASSEMBLE!!

''{Cut to So-and-so in her Scantron armor, sitting at a desk next to a teacher holding a test.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{evasively, making a face}'' Yes... washing... them... ever

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{pointing as she completes the sentence}'' —ryday!

''{Coach appears to the left, holding a stopwatch.}''

'''COACH:''' Okie dokie ladygals. Your physical education final exam consists of me not making any misinterpreted remarks about the length of your shorts ''{holds out the stopwatch}'' and you doing a single push-up.

'''CHEERLEADER, THE UGLY ONE & WHAT'S HER FACE:''' NO!!!

'''COACH:''' ''{shaken, holding up his hands}'' Hey great work! You all get A's!!

''{Close up of Cheerleader, looking annoyed. Her singlet reads "Growlback's Phys. Ed."}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Thank groodness. ''{smiles, pointing up}'' Sweating is against several of my religions!

''{A boy crashes a cart into Cheerleader, apparently killing her; towels and gym kit fall from the cart.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TOWEL BOY'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' Hey!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically; his words do not appear}'' Oh, excuse me. ''{the previous words are replaced}'' TEAM MANAGER'D!!

''{Cut to The Ugly One reading the yearbook.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can't believe I was voted most prettiest.

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing three seniors laughing and pointing. One wears a baseball cap with a "G". The Ugly One looks upset.}''

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Heh heh senior prank.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset}'' Oooooh.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' COME UPPENCE!

'''SENIORS:''' Something got dumped on us! We'll never live it down! Our reputations are ruined!

''{Music starts, and Quarterback walks in.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, throwing the yearbook away}'' Quarterman!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' Ugly One, all this time I was looking around, and you weren't right there in front of me. ''{close up}'' But I realized—when I was looking around—that you were right there in front of me—all this time—Ugly One.

''{Cut back to both of them.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' That makes so much sense!!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' ''{offering his arm}'' Will you accompany me to the end credits?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{putting her arm in his}'' I'd love to!!

''{The end credits roll, first showing "It's over!", then The Ugly One and Quarterback in a parking lot, then the seniors with trash cans on their heads, and "It's over" again.}''

<blockquote>Directed by Strong Bad 
Special Scantron FX oversawed by Bubs 
"It's over" performed by Tite Rolled</blockquote>

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over the end credits}'' It's over! And you're walking into a parking lot with a hot guy. It's over! And they all make fun of you, but they got stuff dumped on top of them. ''{music stops}'' It's over!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Scantron.png|thumb|Scantron]]
*At the end, click on the "o" to see issue 87 of "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It features [[Strong_Badman_Characters#Scantron|Scantron]] with a word bubble reading "I need your help. Strong Badman! My comic book's not selling well!" Text at the bottom of the cover reads "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Science Fiction Greg's remarks that So-and-So's Scantron armor "looks nothing like the comic books" parodies fan complaints of superhero movies that differ in some way from their comic book counterparts (for example, the [[Wikipedia:Transformers (film)|live-action ''Transformers'' movie]], which had considerably different robot designs from the original '80s cartoon).
*[[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|Canon]] refers to a collection of fictional events that create a ficticious universe, such as the Marvel Universe or the Star Wars galaxy. Some fan communities take canon very seriously and try to fit every piece of fiction about said universe seamlessly together.
*[[Wikipedia:Scantron|Scantrons]] are a type of fill-in-the-bubble test sheet that are commonly used in high schools and middle schools.
*MimeogWrath refers to the [[Wikipedia:Mimeograph_machine|Mimeograph]], a technology commonly used to reproduce classroom materials.
*[[Wikipedia: Dixon Ticonderoga|Dixon Ticonderoga]] is a brand of [[Wikipedia: pencil|pencil]].

===Remarks===
*Cheerleader remarks that she had to "tape a dead thing to her face" on Picture Day, but neither Cheerladder nor Cheerlubber did.
*Cheerleader's gym shirt has "Growlback's Phys. Ed." written on it. Given that the team is called the "Growlbacks", the apostrophe should be after the S if it's referring to the team.
*The Strong Badman comic is labeled as the [[1987|87]]th issue, even though there already was an [[:Image:EnterTooSoonMan.png|issue 87]] featuring "Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man".

===Goofs===
*At the end, clicking on "again" simply repeats the final credits rather than the entire cartoon.
*There is a slight difference in spacing in the text "DiXON TICONDEROGA LAZER" before and after the word "BLADE" appears.
*Right before the credits move up, they start to move down for a split-second.

===Inside References===
*Cheerleader is wearing a "Fighting Growlbacks" T-shirt during her gym final. The Growlbacks were first mentioned as the school's mascot in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
*"Thank groodness" is the reappearance of an older [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "great" and "good", also from Issue 4.
*The third Senior has a "[[G]]" on his cap.
*Cheerleader has [[fangs]] in her yearbook photo.

===Real-World References===
*So-and-So's transformation into "Scantron" (as well as her saying "And I'll form the head!") is reminiscent of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Quarterback's song refers to "What I've Been Looking For" from the [[Disney]] television film ''[[Wikipedia:High School Musical|High School Musical]]''.

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Scantron.png|thumb|Scantron]]
*At the end, click on the "o" to see issue 87 of "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It features [[Strong_Badman_Characters#Scantron|Scantron]] with a word bubble reading "I need your help. Strong Badman! My comic book's not selling well!" Text at the bottom of the cover reads "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|Canon]] refers to a collection of fictional events that create a ficticious universe, such as the Marvel Universe or the Star Wars galaxy. Some fan communities take canon very seriously and try to fit every piece of fiction about said universe seamlessly together.
*[[Wikipedia:Scantron|Scantrons]] are a type of fill-in-the-bubble test sheet that are commonly used in high schools and middle schools.

===Remarks===
*Cheerleader remarks that she had to "tape a dead thing to her face" on Picture Day, but Cheerladder and Cheerlubber didn't, for some reason.

===Goofs===
*The Strong Badman comic is labeled as the [[1987|87]]th issue, even though there already was an [[:Image:EnterTooSoonMan.png|issue 87]] featuring "Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man".
*At the end, clicking on "again" simply repeats the final credits rather than the entire cartoon.
*There is a slight difference in spacing in the text "DiXON TICONDEROGA LAZER" before and after the word "BLADE" appears.
*Right before the credits move up, they start to move down for a split-second.

===Inside References===
*Cheerleader is wearing a "Fighting Growlbacks" T-shirt during her gym final. The Growlbacks were first mentioned as the school's mascot in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
*"Thank groodness" is the reappearance of an older [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "great" and "good", also from Issue 4.
*The third Senior has a "[[G]]" on his cap.
*Cheerleader has [[fangs]] in her yearbook photo. They are barely noticable, but can be seen if looked at closely.

===Real-World References===
*So-and-So's transformation into "Scantron" (as well as her saying "And I'll form the head!") is reminiscent of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Science Fiction Greg's remarks that So-and-So's Scantron armor "looks nothing like the comic books" parodies fan complaints of superhero movies that differ in some way from their comic book counterparts (for example, the [[Wikipedia:Transformers (film)|live-action ''Transformers'' movie]], which had considerably different robot designs than the original '80s cartoon).
*Quarterback's song refers to "What I've Been Looking For" from the Disney television film [[Wikipedia:High School Musical|High School Musical]].

I hear an 'r' in Bub's pronunciation of hambroiger in the easter egg, where currently there is no 'r' in the transcript. Anyone else in agreement? -CaseyEllo

:Hmm... I hear "hamblioger." I don't know... it's kind of like arguing over some of the Coack Z-isms. --[[Image:qod_22_-_reynold.PNG|20px]] [[User:Lelila|lelila]] [[User_talk:Lelila|(talk)]] 19:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

:I've definately heard hambroiger... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

I think it is just "hamboiger", actually. It's kinda deceptive, really. The first time, I heard bloiger, and on a subsequent time I heard "broiger", but after repeated listenings, I think the "oi" is just playing tricks on our ears. It seems to be just "boiger" -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 01:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

== The Announcer ==

I think the announcer that was heard in this toon deserves his own page now. He has had five appearances if you include the one in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], which I would count. I think the page name should maybe be something like [[Cold Ones Announcer]] because of his first appearance. Any thoughts or page name ideas? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

:That's why I've got [[Generic Announcers|this page right here]] so users can find out when the announcers, especially the one heard in this short, show up. I even included the link to [[Unseen Characters]] on the bottom. Now as for that "Blubb-O's" announcer deserving his own page, I've been considering taking a somewhat different approach to telling numerous announcers apart. For practice, we might feature a little list like this:
'''Batman-Style Announcer''' — appears in [[fingers]], [[alternate universe]], [[Accent]], [[cliffhangers]] 
'''Cheat Commandos Announcer''' — appears in [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]], [[Cheat Commandos...O's]], [[Shopping for Danger]], [[Blue Laserdisc Challenge]] 
'''Profit Announcer''' — appears in [[Senor Mortgage]], [[Senorial Day]], [[theme song]] 
'''Urban-type Announcer''' — appears in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13|TGS Issue 13]], [[diorama]] 
'''Cold Ones (and Blubb-O's?) Announcer''' — appears (in a tough-guy-like voice) in [[business trip]], [[buried]], and (in an easy, low voice) in [[nightlife]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], and [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].

:You get the idea. --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 20:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

== Coach Z and Strong Sad ==

''The conversation was moved to [[Category talk:Character Relationships#Coach Z and Strong Sad]] since it beared no relevance to this article.''

==Easter Egg==

I heard Tennis Back. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 04:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:"Cash Back" sounds right to me--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 06:55, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::"Cash back" here, too. "Would you like cash back?" is a fairly common phrase used by cashiers, and "Would you like tennis back?" would be strange in a [[Senor Cardgage]] way rather than a [[Drive-Thru Whale]] way. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 23:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Then again, the Drive-Thru whale does speak in rather Senor Cardgage-ish terms. However, I hear "cash back" as well. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 23:13, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

== TRIANGLE??? ==

Under "Explanations", it says, "as well as the fact that breaded fish used in sandwiches are usually cut in a triangular shape."
However, this isn't correct. Most fish cuts used in fast food sandwiches are square, not triangular. {{unsigned|69.92.186.96|21:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)}}
:Agreed. This is the kind of thing you should '''be bold''' and fix or remove, so go for it. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, good. You did. While I wasn't looking. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

== Benihana? ==

I think this reference needs STUFFing. I've never heard of this restaurant before now, and I couldn't find any vegetable-flying references on their website (or on the Wikipedia article). Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen that type of vegetable washing and chopping effect on other commercials for fast-food restaurants. Can't remember which ones off the top of my head though. --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 05:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:I've been to a similar restaurant and if the vegetables were washed it was before I got there. They were chopped, though, only a moment before they were given to me. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 07:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::I'm not aware of a Benihana ad that features mid-air vegetable slicing, and I'm fairly sure the chefs would rarely, if ever, do this in the restaurant. I've been to plenty of similar hibachi restaurants, and the closest I've seen is breaking an egg by throwing it across the edge of a turner. However, the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Blubb-O%27s_Commercial&diff=550182&oldid=550178 reversion of the Benihana fact] invoked TTATOT and only gave one example. Haven't we stopped doing this yet?! One false association and one legit association do not make a TTATOT!
::The legit association ironically mentioned in the same edit comment is a Burger King commercial from the early 1990s. I remember that commercial, although I couldn't state with absolute certainty whether it was Burger King or McDonald's. Either way, this bit is a ''direct'' rip-off. Solid black background, cascading sheet of water with vegetables passing through it in slow motion, followed by kitchen knives slicing them in mid-air. It's exactly the same. I remember the slices then landing slowly and perfectly on the waiting patty, and I also remember idly wondering how the onions became rings when they were only sliced once. I just wish I could find a copy of it online for reference.
::I'm adding the fact in as a direct reference to the Burger King commercial. If anyone remembers better than I do that it was a different restaurant, fix it, but please do not remove it as TTATOT unless you can cite at least two specific commercials that are equally similar to the toon. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:::And again removed as TTATOT with no further examples. Thanks, Wbwolf. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 13:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
::::Listen, a lot of commercials do montages like that, it's not specific at all to burger king. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::What I'm saying is that there was a single commercial that this one mimics shot-for-shot. Exactly the same background, layout, and action. Probably even the same vegetables. It's extremely unlikely that there was more than one ''that'' similar to this toon, because there would have been lawsuits. I remember the visuals vividly; am I the only one?
:::::But more to the point, still no other specific examples of commercials similar to this have been given. One person remembers one source that's exactly the same, while multiple people supposedly know multiple sources that are vaguely the same, but can't be bothered to say what they are? How does that qualify as TTATOT? Do you really know other commercials that have shots of vegetables flying through a sheet of water followed by shots of them being sliced midair? I'll be overjoyed to put this to rest if you do. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 13:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::You claim that it is exactly hte same, right down to the background. Is there a youtube vid of it somewhere that we can use for comparison? If this is true that it is EXACTLY the same, then i'll concede. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I wish, but I looked hard and found neither video nor screenshots. If no one else remembers this ad and seconds me, then it is conceivable I've just lost my mind. I lost it pretty good, though. I think it was from that period when Burger King was doing commercials that were shots of food over 70's and 80's songs (like "Good Morning, Starshine" and "I Melt With You"), because it was certainly a similar visual style. But on the other hand I seem to remember it had a voiceover (which those did generally did not), so it may have been earlier. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 15:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

==I'm disappointed.==
Seriously, nobody caught the Spinal Tap reference? For shame. -[[User:Pat|Pat]] 14:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:I had to think hard to figure out what you were talking about, and I'm a huge Spinal Tap fan. It's the sandwich called the "New Original". One of Tap's numerous former band names was "The New Originals", which they changed from "The Originals" when they discovered it was already taken. This "reference" is oblique enough that it will probably get killed, but I'll go ahead and try it anyway. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Don't forget that the other band called "The Originals" later changed their name to "The Regulars". Come on, "The Original, The Regular, The New Original"... it's a trifecta of Spinal Tap. -[[User:Pat|Pat]] 11:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
:::As a huge fan of Spinal Tap - D minor is indeed the saddest of all keys - I am ambivolent. It is as likely as not to be a coincidence. The joke is so easy, and there's no tip of the hat to wryly suggest this might be Spinal Tap. I'ma say it's too ambiguous to note for now. Future commentary may well prove me wrong. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 13:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
::::Me? I'ma haven't seen Spinal Tap. I know it's a real cult hit with rocker fans, though, and I'm willing to bet TBC have watched it...a bunch. However, I was thinking this was more a reference to Coke who made a terrible new recipe in the 80's, then re-released the old recipe and called it "Classic Coke." i'm not noting that in the RWR, though--I just think a "likely" or "may be" is necessary for the Spinal Tap point.{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 19:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

== Relanquish ==

Do you think the whale said "Relanquish your pipes" or "Relinquish your pipes"? I think Relanquish makes more sense in this situation, because of the inaudibility of the drive-thru whale. [[User:Unbalanced|Unbalanced]] 17:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:I listened to it three times, and i just hear "relinquish" every time... i think this relanquish business just started because whoever did the transcript misspelled it... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

== Isoceles Sandwich??? ==

The fish triangle in the picture is not isoceles. It's equilateral so is that a goof?
: It actually ''is'' an isosceles triangle. Equilateral triangles have three equal sides, isosceles have to. The edge to the farthest left is shorter. --[[Image:qod_22_-_reynold.PNG|20px]] [[User:Lelila|lelila]] [[User_talk:Lelila|(talk)]] 22:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Actually, an equilateral triangle is both equilateral and iscosceles. An iscosceles triangle has '''at least''' two sides congruent. An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== Thick 'n Nasty ==

The Thick 'n Nasty is quite clearly a reference to the Big 'n Tasty sandwich from McDonald's. I'm just not sure how best to say this on the article page.
:I aggree. Big N' Tasty is obvious, and Thickburger is very likely. Someone was pushing it with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Blubb-O%27s_Commercial&diff=prev&oldid=550387 Thick-and-Hearty], but I think the original wording was fine: "The name of the Thick 'n Nasty burger is a reference to both the [[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] Thickburger and McDonald's [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]] burger."--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 06:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
::I disagree... maybe the big n tasty is a reference, but i don't think the other ones are. People are always advertizing think burgers... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
::Hardee's is Carl's Jr. for those west of the Missourri. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 17:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

== Come the heck down ==

Those this may not be totally true at all, it seems that one of the slogans is a reference to a restaurant that (I can't remember which) the slogan and/or name was "Eat and get the heck out"

==Real-world reference==
*Grumble grumble*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lWL0BIHlA4&feature=related
TELL me that the mid-air vegetable slicing isn't poking fun at this...
:Okay, i'm telling you. It's not. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
::Then I can safely say you didn't bother watching it. 48 seconds in if you're that impatient. -75.72.etc.etc
:::Incorrect. I watched it, and '''''I ''''' can safely say that the pineapple is floating in a completely different manner, and that there is someone holding the knife, and that the angle is completely different. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
::::Resorting to nit-picking eh? Your argument won't hold up in court I tells ya! But regardless, seems to be a likely reference. - The Seven Five.
:::::Objection! Miracle Blade did not invent the concept of slicing vegetables in the air. There's a "Slice The Vegetables In Midair" minigame on [[Wikipedia:WarioWare: Touched!|WarioWare: Touched!]] A Japanese chef slices food in midair in ''[[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]]'' episode [[Wikipedia:One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish|"One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish"]]. There's a vegetable slicing round in [http://splax.net/game/foolyoo.html this Japanese game I found]. My point? Slicing vegetables in midair is a common cliche. It's pure 100% [[TTATOT]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

== Endorsement ==

*The Thick 'n Nasty is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]], a hamburger from McDonalds that was designed to compete with [[Wikipedia:Burger King|Burger King]]'s Whopper. '''The Peacey P endorsement is likely a parody of [[Wikipedia:Kobe Bryant|Kobe Bryant]] endorsing the Big N' Tasty.'''
I am merely discussing the bolded part, my removal of the whole thing was accidental. Anyway, on to the debate.
If they had moses malone endorsing it, or had it been fitty cent who endorsed the big 'n tasty, i might be inclined to agree... but in response to the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Blubb-O%27s_Commercial&diff=551060&oldid=551026&rcid=508325 revert summary], nothing falls into place here except the burger being named the same. One endorsement was from a basketball player, one was from a rapper. I don't see anything else that connects the two. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
::Now that I think about it, you're correct, DeFender. Peacey P and Kobe have nothing in common, save the color of their skin, and that's shouldn't be enough to go on as being a reference. I was thinking that it's a reference to those McD's commercials that show the cool 20-somethings cruisin' and listening to hip-hop or what-have-you when they get a craving for McD's. (Wow. I am such an old man...and I'm not even in my twenties! Help!) Anydangway, I agree: I'ma need a Fitty or Snoop plug for something to agree that it's a ''direct'' reference. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 20:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

== Participating "Stores"(!?) ==

I just realized, if this is a commercial for a restaurant, shouldn't the title read "Participating Restaurants?" :3

'''STRONG BAD:''' So cool an email. I thought you would enjoy it. Ding dong,

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
what would you look like as a 
japanese cartoon and what would 
it be about? 
 
-james f.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "f." as "fffffffffff"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A Japanese cartoon, eh, James? I saw one o' thems once. Let's see what I can remember.

''{Cut to a white screen with Strong Bad standing there. As he describes how he would look different, the changes are applied}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real, real big eyes. Get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny ''{clean noise that sounds like a harp, or bells, or both}'' ...my boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. ''{robotic 'shooo' noise}'' And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. Then there's my mouth. Real tiny when it's closed; ridiculously huge when it's open. And then you basically just put me in space and let me fly around in cool poses!

''{We see Stinkoman, the anime Strong Bad, flying around in assorted cool poses. He then lands down in a futuristic anime rendition of the field. Video-game music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they'd probably have somebody else do the voices.

''{1-Up, the 20X6 Homestar Runner, walks in}''

'''1-UP:''' Hey Stinkoman! Everybody says you're the guy, but I wanna be the guy too!

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older.

''{Pan Pan, the anime version of Pom Pom designed to look like a panda, bounces in and squashes 1-Up}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{laughing and stomping from one foot to the other, with miniature mushroom clouds appearing around his head}'' Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pan Pan is fat! Ha ha ha ha ha! He fell on you! Ha ha ha ha! He's a good bear!

''{Suddenly, the cartoon transitions into an ink-drawing of the scene. The Stinkoman K theme song starts playing. The lyrics are:}''

<blockquote>Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting that challenge tonight. 
 
Everybody's fighting for the 
Challenge of the fighting and the 
 
Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting that challenge tonight.</blockquote>

''{While the song is playing, the background then changes to a similar sketch of Stinkoman powering up, upon which the credits appear:}

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end you can click on the words "Japanese cartoons" to see Stinkoman in action.
*At the end of "Stinko Man K 20X6" you can click on "Japanese cartoons" again to see Homestar Runner watching it and singing along to the theme song.
*: '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Challenge and fighting and fighting that challenge tonight, somethin' and a somethin' and a somethin' and a somethin' and a...
**If you watch it until the song ends (26 seconds), Stinkoman eventually stops running on the TV, freezing in place, meaning the animation is not actually looped like most of the other animations on the site.
*While or after Homestar is watching the intro to Stinkoman, you can click on the "NES Endings" video tape to see various endings to [[Nintendo|NES]] games. Once the NES Endings window opens, you can click on it to show more.
** The endings for the Nintendo games are as follows:
*#''[[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]]'' (also the source of the background music in this email)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Castlevania II: Simon's Quest|Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest]]'' (Normal Ending)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man II|Mega Man 2]]''
*#''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (''Super Mario USA'' in Japan)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Hoops (video game)|Hoops]]''
*#''[[Wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts N' Goblins]]'' (Good, Second Ending)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Blaster Master|Blaster Master]]'' (This has "BLUE HAiR" and an arrow pointing to the character's hair written on it)
*#''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' (First Quest)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' (with a [[Wikipedia:Metroid#JUSTIN BAILEY|suitless]] [[Wikipedia:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]])
*#''[[Wikipedia:Jackal (video game)|Jackal]]''
*#''[[Wikipedia:Rygar (video game)|Rygar]]''

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*The TV Homestar watches reads [[Tee Bee|"Teebee"]] in the top right corner. In Japan, "TV" would literally be pronounced as tee-bee. However, since the word for TV in Japan is actually terebi (テレビ), it may be in reference to how Homestar himself would say it.

*Until the domain registration expired, you could reach this email at [http://www.stinkoman.com www.stinkoman.com].
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Strong Bad makes up his own japanese cartoon."

===Remarks===
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad recites a [[Wikipedia:haiku|haiku]], which is very fitting (although in [[Halloween Fairstival]], he claims that he doesn't "know or care what a haiku is"):
:So cool an email
:I thought you would enjoy it
:Ding dong dear Strong Bad
*When Strong Bad is reading the email, the a> is at the bottom of the screen.
*In the second Easter egg, Stinkoman is running, but he is not going anywhere.
*[[The Paper]] does not come down at the end of the email.
*[[Strong Bad]] says someone else would probably do the voices for the [[20X6]] characters, but when it is back to him, he is talking in [[Stinkoman|Stinkoman's]] voice.
*When Homestar is seen from the back in the Easter egg, he is drawn in an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older style]].

===Goofs===
[[Image:Messed up windows.PNG|thumb|Are those overlapping windows asking for a challenge?]]
*In the scene with Stinkoman and 1-Up, the windows on the second far right building overlap onto the building next to it. This is best seen when zoomed in on the swf file.
**This is a side-effect of Flash, as the "windows" are actually thick lines. In Flash, the "ends" of a line are not truly the endpoints; this is most apparent in very thick lines, where the ends are circular. The true endpoints are actually in the "center" of the circular "ends", and when a line attaches to another line, the endpoints attach, but Flash does not make up for the circular-shaped ends, so the false endpoints spill into the adjacent shape next to it.

===Inside References===
*The name Stinkoman is a reference to [[island]], when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman."
*The first line of Strong Bad's haiku is similar to Strong Bad Email #34, [[weird dream]], in which The Cheat's computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], has an icon labeled "So Cool A Flash." ''(also see Real-World references)''
*The two videos next to the NES Endings are "[[Joy of Painting]]" from the [[TV Time Toons Menu]].
*Stinkoman's first cool pose shows him holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].

===Real-World References===
*Stinkoman's overall design and the "cool poses" sequence appear to be based on the [[Wikipedia:Ganbare Goemon|Ganbare Goemon]] video games, also known as ''Legend of the Mystical Ninja''.
*In the third slide of the credits for Stinkoman K, you can see a parody of [[Wikipedia:Vegeta|Vegeta]] from the series [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|''Dragon Ball Z'']] and [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball GT|''Dragon Ball GT'']] in his [[Wikipedia:Super Saiyan|Super Saiyan]] state.
*The credits for Stinkoman K are lifted from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176925/fullcredits ''The Legend of Zelda''] for the NES.
**"H. Yamauchi," "S. Miyahon," "Ten Ten" and "Konchan" refers to [[Wikipedia:Hiroshi Yamauchi|Hiroshi Yamauchi]], [[Wikipedia:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]], [[imdb:nm0854843|Takashi Tezuka]] and [[Wikipedia:Koji Kondo|Koji Kondo]], respectively.
***"Miyahon" is an understandable misreading of the characters 宮本, correctly read "Miyamoto."
*20X6 is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|''Mega Man'']], which is set in 20XX, or the first [[Wikipedia:Metroid|''Metroid'']] game, which is set in 20X5.
*Stinkoman's "robot boots" are similar to the ones that [[Wikipedia:Roll (Mega Man)|Roll]], a female character from the Mega Man games, wears.
*The spaceship strongly resembles one of the [http://starbase.globalpc.net/%7Ebhz/strongbad/images/galaxy5000.gif spaceships] from the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''Galaxy 5000''.

*[[Wikipedia:Oolong|Oolong]] is a Chinese tea, as well as a character from [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|''Dragon Ball'']].
*The "K" in "Stinko Man K 20X6" is a homage to anime mega-series such as [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]], [[Wikipedia:Gundam|Gundam]], and [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon]], which use letters to separate different series or seasons (e.g., ''Dragon Ball Z'', ''Z Gundam'', ''Sailor Moon R'', etc.)
*The line, "No way, you're just a kid, maybe when you grow older" is a reference to the anime movie [[IMDb:0094625|''Akira'']], where [[Wikipedia:Kaneda|Kaneda]] refuses to let [[Wikipedia:Tetsuo Shima|Tetsuo]] ride his motorbike because he's "just a kid". Also, Stinkoman's voice is similar to [[IMDb:nm0164682|Cam Clarke's]] dub of Kaneda.

===Fast Forward===
*As The Brothers Chaps mention in the commentary below, "[[Glossary#C|combolations]]" would also be given by [[Senor Cardgage]] in [[flashback]].

== DVD Version ==
*The 20X6 and Homestar watching Easter eggs are now opened by different icons. The Strong Bad's head icon on the right side of the Compy 386 screen opens the former, and the one in the lower left corner of the Compy 386 opens the latter.
**Be warned that if you open the Homestar Easter egg, you have to restart the toon in order to see the other one.
*The NES Endings are still accessible, though you have to wait for the Homestar video clip to be finished before you can access them.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' This is CD number one.

'''MIKE:''' Number two.

'''MATT:''' Number three.

'''MIKE:''' And number four.

'''MATT:''' That's from that Flaming Lips four disc thing.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' So this is when we started this email at, like, 10 PM on Sunday night, didn't we?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' And we didn't finish until early... or ''late'' Monday?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Or early Tuesday.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it was up on Monday.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' But it was definitely later in the day.

'''MATT:''' I remember Matt and Jenna, our friends Matt and Jenna came over and we had just drawn some of these preliminary drawings of Strong Bad as Stinkoman and we showed it to them.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember that.

'''MATT:''' They did! They came over—

'''MIKE:''' I believe you! I'm just saying I don't remember it.

'''MATT:''' Well I don't—

'''MIKE:''' I don't have anything to add to that, uh, line of—

'''MATT:''' I don't know why we did, we probably had a good time for a little while—

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' —and then they left.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' This is another email, nobody likes this email, everybody hates this email.

''{Mike laughs a little.}''

'''MATT:''' You know. There's that ship! Originally we were going to say that ship was The Cheat.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That was going to be, the 20X6 version of The Cheat was that ship.

'''MIKE:''' We should still do that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, maybe—maybe so.

'''MIKE:''' Um... I like Homestar's boots there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, I think we didn't—until we recorded this line, we weren't going to, like, call him Stinkoman, were we? And it was, we were just making that reference, to the old, to the island email.

'''MIKE:''' ''{at the same time, overlapping}'' You've got to remember... right.

'''MATT:''' I love those mushroom things. I love those—the mushroom things—

'''MIKE:''' There's the tear over your head.

'''MATT:''' The tear.

'''MIKE:''' And the snot bubble.

'''MATT:''' There's some other stuff.

'''MIKE:''' So many weird things that happen in—

'''MATT:''' Those mushroom things happen in, uh, Animal Crossing, when they get mad at you.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right!

'''MATT:''' Of course, these are all the credits from, uh, the original Legend of Zelda.

'''MIKE:''' Konchan, the sound composer. Does good work.

''{Matt starts singing the Legend of Zelda theme song, then Mike continues it.}''

'''MATT:''' Sorry. Um... so yeah. So the one-two punch of Trogdor and Stinkoman are probably—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, back to back weeks

'''MATT:''' —are probably ''the'' most popular emails. Combolations. ''{laughs a little}''

'''MIKE:''' Later, Senor Cardgage gives combolations to Strong Bad in the 100th email.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The album in particular Matt and Mike reference at the beginning is [[Wikipedia:Zaireeka|Zaireeka]] by [[Wikipedia:The Flaming Lips|The Flaming Lips]]. Zaireeka was a highly experimental album designed to be heard on 4 separate discs played simultaneously. The part of the album they reference happens at the beginning of each track and serves as a way to let you know you synced the discs properly.
*The talk about the Cheatball being a spaceship is likely a reference to the anime [[Wikipedia:Tenchi Muyo!|''Tenchi Muyo'']], where the [[Wikipedia:Cabbit|cabbit]] [[Wikipedia:Ryo-Ohki|Ryo-Ohki]] could transform into a spaceship several hundred times her size.
*In the video game ''[[Wikipedia: Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'', when the villagers get mad at you, steam clouds come out of their heads, not mushroom clouds like Matt said. When the villagers are laughing, words that mean laughing (such as ha ha) flash around their heads in a way similar to the way that mushroom clouds appear around Stinkoman's head.

'''Date:''' Friday, August 5, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 2:10

'''Page Title:''' Biz Cas Fri 3

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

==Transcript==
''{Close-up of a water cooler. The title words, "Biz Cas Fri" appear. Air bubbles rise into the cooler. Cut to Puppet The Cheat and Puppet Strong Bad standing in front of his computer. Strong Bad is wearing his customary Friday shirt, and The Cheat has on a tie. Smoke is coming out of the computer.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't ''do'' anything! I just turned it on, tried to check my email, and then it started smokin' and shakin' it like it was Friday night!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back up my files?! Are you kidding? Is that a real thing you have to do? I always thought that that was just like... you know, a figure of speech.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{irate, incredulous The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno, like "Wake up and smell the coffee," or "See ya later, alligator!"

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes angry The Cheat noises and leaves}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great! So my computer's dead. This almost never happens to me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enters room}'' What's up, my ho-may? Ew, what's that smell? Did Mancuso at Accounting put his three-hole punch in the microwave again? That guy sucks!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, get outta here, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, not yet. So, did you get that email that I forwarded to everyone in the company and their families and their high school friends?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Can't you see my computer and I are having domestic problems?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, you should check it out right now. It has a 3-gig hilarious file attachment attached to it. It's one of the funniest emails I've forwarded this week!

'''STRONG BAD:''' 3-gig attachment?! Oh, no wonder!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' When you get that mess fixed, check out that attachment. The file's called ''{filename appears on the screen as Homestar says it}'' "catonfire_fallingfromanairplane.exe". I'm not gonna tell you what it is, but trust me you ''got'' to check it out! I was ROTF all over the place when I saw that. Anyways, I'm gonna go see what Gunderson thought of it. That guy doesn't suck. See ya later, alligator! ''{leaves}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, back up your files.

''{He presses a key, and the computer explodes, leaving ashes and a demolished tape dispenser.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{coughs}'' Wah! That's the worst computer explosion I've ever seen! Is there anything I can salvage?! Oh, I think I can see some of the third-quarter analysis spreadsheet in there. Oh! Is that my buddy list?! I gotta back that up!

''{Strong Bad pulls out a manilla envelope and begins scooping the ashes into it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{muttering}'' Sweep some of this in here... my buddy list... The Cheat, Strong Mad... buddies...

''{"end."}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click the 'd' or the period to view Homestar's attachment.
:''{Two men skydive from an airplane together and tumble a few times in midair.}''
:'''JUMPING MAN 1:''' Wooooo!
:'''JUMPING MAN 2:''' Dude, is that falling cat on fire?
:''{A flaming cat (obviously drawn and edited in) falls past the camera, meowing as it falls.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
* ROTF is an [[Internet Slang]] abbreviation for "'''R'''olling '''O'''n '''T'''he '''F'''loor", implying uncontrollable laughter.
*[[Wikipedia:FYI|FYI]] is a common acronym for "'''F'''or '''Y'''our '''I'''nformation."

===Trivia===
* "FYI!" is written on the [[Sticky Notes|Post-it]] note stuck to Strong Bad's cubicle wall.
* [[Mike Chapman]] voices Jumping Man 2.

===Remarks===
*It's interesting that Strong Bad mentions having Strong Mad on his buddy list seeing as, in [[the facts]], we learn that Strong Mad doesn't have a computer (or at least [[Box Computer|not a working one]]).
*The "Yeah, back up your files" line that Strong Bad says appears to have been dubbed in later in production, as the audio quality sounds "muffled"

===Inside References===
*The video player is called "Medi-a-lectrix Playa," a reference to the company [[Videlectrix]].
*Hanging on the wall is a real-life version of an Easter egg in [[dullard]] and a real-life version of a poster from [[no loafing]].
*The third-quarter projection analysis spreadsheets were mentioned in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*Gund[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] was the name of a city on Limozeen's "[[Limozeen#Zeenin' Across the Country 2001|Zeenin' Across the Country 2001]]" tour.
**Gunderson was also the name of one of the characters in [[Bubslegum Comics]]
*Mancuso is the name of a character in the Videlectrix video game [[Where's an Egg?]]
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*The [[font]] that comes up when Homestar says the file of his email is the [[Tandy 400]] font (which is Westminister).

===Real-World References===
*The "Medi-a-lectrix Playa" is also a reference to [[Wikipedia:Windows Media Player|Windows Media Player]], a [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]] computer application that renders audio and video content.
*The "Cat on Fire Falling From an Airplane" video is a spoof of the infamous "Burning Cat" video that began circulating on the internet about a year before this 'toon was made.

==DVD Version==
*The "Cat On Fire" Easter egg is displayed on a [[Wiki:Windows 95|Windows 95]] main menu.

Talk:Strongest Man in the World

2007-05-22T14:11:02Z

Everybody!: /* All right, you crap-for-brains */

== 10 years! ==

Nice toon. I added this to the filmography of mr. bland and señor's charecter pages. I'm glad they re-did the old book. and there is another thing that I saw, when señor gets crushed, it says "sbloncheked" or what ever sb's candy bar was.
[[User:Cessna Man!|Cessna Man!]] 23:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
:I really liked this toon. It really captures the series' appeal. Who's doing the transcript for this, by the way? I hope they get done soon. We should put up pictures of Senor, Mr. Bland, etc.'s new forms on their pages. And also, Senor's voice doesn't sound like Matt's; think it could've been done by someone else?-[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 00:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
:I'm almost certain that Mr. Bland was voiced by Mike. Anyone know for sure? --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 01:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
::Plain ol' Matt's voice. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
:::I also think Bland's voice sounds a bit Mike... but I also think it could have been done by Matt. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 01:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
::I added all the pictures, so that's done. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 15:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Not on main page? ==

Does anyone else not see this on the Main Pages? Should this be included as a Fun Fact of some kind?
:I see it there. Maybe clear your cache? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Introduction ==

The intro says that Homestar enters the contest yet again. This seems a little misleading, as the toon is a modernization, not a sequel, as the intro could imply.

:Looks like that's been changed {{User:The Joe/sig}} 15:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Everybody Loves The Homestar Runner ==

doesnt he say "Everybody loves THE me" not "loves a'me"? that would make more sense to me. --([[User:Superplough|superplough]] not logged in) [[User:132.181.7.1|132.181.7.1]] 02:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
:He does say "the me." You can go ahead and change that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
::I hear a'me. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 02:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
:::It's a joke. The original book says "The Homestar Runner" rather than just "Homestar Runner" so he says "the me" rather than "me". {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

== Mega Man Introductions? ==

I think that Mr. Bland, Señor, and The Robot's introductions may be references to games from the [[Wikipedia:Mega_Man_(series)|Mega Man series]], in which the bosses are introduced with a snazzy background, a pose, and a sound effect before you begin their levels. Or, is this a more general reference? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

:The opening to The New Leave it to Beaver Show introduced the cast in a similar fashion if I remember correctly. Can't find any substantiating images though. Does it have to be a reference? Maybe it's just a visually interesting way to introduce characters. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 02:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Slo-Mo Action That is The Matrix, Super Mario Strikers and Final Fantasy In One==

Currently, the article page says that Homestar's slo-mo kicking of The Cheat is a reference to Super Mario Strikers. I think that it's actually a reference to The Matrix.

Hmmm... I dont think its necessarily a Matrix reference...its just in slow motion. the camera doesnt rotate around Homestar like the famous "bullet time" effect usually does. To me it just looks like a bicycle kick.
- [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 02:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, you're probably right. But I don't think TBC would make a reference to Super Mario Strikers. {{User:The_Spainish_Inquisition/sig}} 03:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

TBC have mentioned in an Interview (can't remember which one) that they are fans of Nintendo games, it is possible that they would reference Super Mario Striker, In SMS if a player passes the ball to a teammate in front of the Goal and the recieving teammate holds down the shoot button, the game will go into slow motion and the reciving teammate will do one of many different styles of Kicks,The most popular one Being the exact same move that Homestar did on Teh C. Also regarding the fact that it may be actually a reference to The Matrix, I recall no such move being used in any of the Matrix movies, [[User:Dctcool|Dctcool]]

It actually reminded me most of Shaolin Soccer... but that could be because I just watched it today.
:It reminds me of a lot of martial arts movies, but not one in particular that springs to mind.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 06:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
::Does anyone have a video of that specific kick from Super Mario Strikers? {{User:The_Spainish_Inquisition/sig}} 14:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
::: I found a video on Youtube of Super Mario Strikers which features the move in question [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc0xihGkfuw / SMS video review] The move happen at around the 1:10 mark

I recently removed these RWRs from the page:

*Homestar's slow-motion move (a Pele kick) seems similar to a "Slo-mo Cross Shot" from [[Wikipedia:Super_Mario_Strikers|Super Mario Strikers]].
**It could also be a reference to the "Bullet Time" sequences in [[Wikipedia:The_Matrix|The Matrix]].
***Another possibility is they modeled it after the Sphere Shot in [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]].

This seems to me to be the very definition of TTATOT. I'd be glad to entertain discussion to help settle what Homestar's move ''actually'' refers to; however, I kind of suspect it's actually just a generic fighting move and not a reference at all. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

:Heh, I agree. But now that you mention the Sphere Shot...--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 04:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I propose that it is a reference to Shaolin Soccer. Though, actually, like many of the most reasonable people here, I doubt it's a direct reference to -anything-. Still, that kind of manuever is done at least once, if not a few times in Shaolin Soccer, in slo-mo and everything.

It's possible that it references all 3 franchises (except the Matrix as there is no such move in any Matrix movies)

::I don't think it references a single thing. Homestar kicks the cheat around like a soccer ball with generic moves and does an out of the ordinary extra kick in slow motion to emphasize it. It might be inspired by such things but not directly referencing Shaolin Soccer, Matrix or Super Mario Strikers. The ONLY WAY it could be a reference, directly, to any of those is if the moves Homestar is doing are pretty much exactly done like those in the particular move in the game or movie. --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 18:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not saying it's a referance, but is it just me, or is Homestar's flip when kicking the Cheat very similar to one of Tidus's blitzball kicks in Final Fantasy X? -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 01:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
: There are other things it's similar to as well, though - we removed it as a TTATOT fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Image:Grabbed Frame 18.jpg|Here's a picture of the FFX kick in question.]] ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 21:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

:I'd seriously go with SMS, as the Blitzball kick seems to have a much greater range of motion, not to mention that TBC would be more inclined to reference the Nintendo game. Remember: Just because there's a possibility for TTATOT doesn't mean that it always is. This fact falls under that category; it most definitely is a reference to SOMETHING. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 21:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
:: Yeah. It's a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Bicycle kick|Bicycle kick]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

:"Unplugged" dates back to the beginnings of elictricity. But as a description of music played without extra amplification, MTV gets the credit. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

The unplugged fact is credited both to MTV and Eric Clapton in different sections, which is kind of contradicting itself. One or the other should be taken out.

Quotes from the Oxford English dictionary:
*New York Times, 21 April 1957
*:The return of the unplugged guitar gets another boost from George Van Eps, who was supplying rhythmic chords to jazz groups long before voltage came into fashion.
*Washington Post, 26 December 1986
*:Nils Lofgren unplugged is still Nils Lofgren the musician... Lofgren will give a rare acoustic concert at the Bayou tomorrow.
*Toronto Star, 6 October 1989
*:The simple, six-string folk rhythms of several songs here..owe some of their sincere appeal to the unplugged colors of Tracy Chapman's music.

== Pure Pwnage Reference ==

Okay, this is DEFINITELY a reference, stop deleting it. I will make my case clear here.

Pure Pwnage is a somewhat popular internet-show. They did an episode where the main character sat at a desk with a Compy 386 and answered emails EXACTLY like Strong Bad does. Naturally, someone pointed this out to TBC and they threw him a bone by making this reference:
When Strong Bad writes to Homestar telling him he can achieve anything and then stops and says "you're a butt", this is a reference to the episode of Pure Pwnage (which references Strong Bad Emails) where Jeremy answers emails like Strong Bad and he tells someone who professes to 'like boys more than girls' that he should stay true to who he is and then erases it and writes "u r a fag".
Clearly these are the exact same principle. Starting out telling someone that they can 'acheve anything' and 'stay true to who you are' and then saying to them "you're a butt" or "u r a fag" is a TOTAL DIRECT reference. They cant use the word "fag" on Homestar Runner, and Strong Bad wouldnt write "u r" They abbreviated the best they could.

==Stong Bad vs. Strond Bad==
When I looked at the autograph egg, Strong Bad's inscription is signed "Strond Ba... wait a sec" instead of "Stong" as is mentioned in the transcript.

I'ma gonna try to settle this issue once and for all. I ran noise reduction on the audio to try and eliminate the "squish" noise that obscures the names.

Honestly, I don't know why this one is being picked apart like it is. If it sounds like he ''might'' be saying "Homestar" (which it certainly does to me, every time), and his saying "Homestar" makes sense in the context (again, which it does), and he had no reason ''not'' to be saying "Homestar" (which why would he?

The Mu, I would suggest you amplify the last part in your clip and listen to it again. It is my humble opinion that he definitely says "Homestar."

== I hear there's a pretty big wine building up? ==

I'm not sure this could be put in the article since Homestar's talk is converted into English talk in the transcript. But anyway it's a joke I think many overlooked.

Strong Bad says: "There's a pretty big line building up over there." and Homestar then says, according to the current transcript: "I hear there's a pretty big line building up." It's the tradition here to make abstraction of Homestar's accent when transcribing his dialogue. But what we actually hear instead of "line" sounds much more like "wine".

Considering that the contest involves lifting giant grapes, "I hear there's a pretty big wine building up." would be the kind of line only Homestar could have. I'm sure it's not the first time TBC made a joke where Homestar's distorted talk innocently resulted in a clever pun that fits the situation. -[[User:Vltone|Vltone]] 09:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

== "arm"y man ==

in the remarks section is says
*When Homestar holds up the grapes, they float as if he's controlling them with his mind rather than with invisible arms.
**Homestar's invisible arms are also emphasized in the high-five scene.

Which is it? At best the two sentences do no relate. The first says that his lask of visible arms are not involved while the second says that they are. I personally don't see how mind controlling has anything to with it. The H*R universe just has weird physics because...well, its a cartoon. If we were documenting a Road Runner cartoon and Wiley Coyotee ran off a cliff but didn't fall, would we note that he suspended himself off the cliff with mind power?

Think that this whole thing about mind power is out of line, things just balance differently in the H*R universe. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
:I think putting them both together in this way makes it deliberately ambiguous. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Various Minor Differences ==

In the original book:

1. Strong Bad appeared behind Homestar and Pom Pom instead of in front on the way to the contest.

2. Senor was holding his grapes with his right hand, not his left.

3. The Robot's cord was on an actual wall, not just a tiny piece of one.

4. Pom Pom's eyes were closed at the end when he was holding the trophy, not open (when it fades to the OB, his eyes change).

Any of these worth mentioning? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 17:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

:I think that when dealing with a remake, these kind of differences are bound to happen. All in all, the toon was really close to the original, so I don't think this kind of nitpicking is in order. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

== Senor's grapes ==

I count 20 grapes when Senor falls down.

But since he started with 20, then one was added, where's the last?

*it could be hidden behind the other grapes (as in it slid down when it was put on)-Zerlock1124

== Mookie Wilson ==

If Mookie Wilson gave the Grape Fairy in 1974, then Mookie would have been 18. Wilson did not join the Mets organization until 1977, when he was 21, and the Mets big league club itself in 1980.

== Gender McFender bender? ==

I wonder why the Grape Fairy was a man in this cartoon. I mean, aren't all faries supposed to be girls?!?!? Maybe it was the real Grape Fairy's brother who was filling in.

:Wow. Do a little looking into actual faerie tales. Not only are all faires NOT girls, but almost none of them are flitty little sparkly things (i.e. Tinkerbell) type fairies either.

:They probably just did it to be ridiculous... (And if faeries are all female, how do they reproduce?) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:That's stretching it. Specyoolation. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 00:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm certain that the Grape Fairie is male precisely because we assumed he was female (I'd even bet TBC considered the fairie to be female until this toon was written). In fact, the revelation of his voice and character ("All right, youze hose brains, listen up smart. I start yas each off with like twenty grapes. Then I adds one at a time. The bum what holds the most grapes wins this gold bowl." "Dang, Pom Pom, you see that golbol? That's a nice golbol.") is the twist that raises this toon from pretty good to pure genius.

In the transcript the line the announcer says "...you ''can'' not be ready for this Strongest Man in the World Contest" but it should read "...you ''can't'' not be ready for this Strongest Man in the World Contest," both because that's what the announcer says, and because that's what makes sense grammatically and humorously.

== Shot for shot ==

In addition to the intro and the fade out, there are at least three scenes that are very specifically shot-for-shot recreations of the Original Book. I submit that these are notable, and should be shown in side-by-side comparisons. I'm talking about:

1. "Watch out, PETE BEST!"

2. "Tiny, inverse suns"

3. "Strong Bad did a jig"

The action poses for Mr. Bland and Señor are also taken from the OB.

Also notable are certain lines that are immediate recongizable:

*"Everybody loves the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete."
*"Everybody loves the me. I'm a terrific athlete."

*"I'm the very strongest! You guys are not very strong!"
*"I am the very strongest. While on the other hand, inversely, you guys are not very strong."

*"I will drop my grapes and uncover that CHEAT!"
*"I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat!"

*"OH NO!" screamed Strong Bad.
*"Oh noooo!"

The reason that I say that these are significant and not just "yeah, it's a remake" is that they are so rare. Adding those few little pieces in precisely as in the original is very much in the style of homage. If there were more of them, as in the remake of In Search of the Yello Dello, I wouldn't think it significant--but the little places where the two synch up gives a longtime H*R fan a little thrill of recognition, and the BC know that. --[[User:Darksasami|Darksasami]] 20:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

::::Hmmm, technically, that's speculation. Homestar didn't ask for P2 to ''share'' the golbol, but to ''give him'' the golbol.

:::::That was my interpretation, but I guess I see what you're saying. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

::::To my mind, there's a huge difference between a similarity (most of the plot) and a recreation of a scene or an image. In any remake, there are typically a few scenes that pay direct homage to the original version, and those are usually called out by reviewers. And while there are a ton of vague similarities, there are very few lines or images that correspond directly to the original. I can't understand how those could not be considered notable -- especially since the technique of recreating the original pose was used for the intro and outro of the toon. --[[User:Darksasami|Darksasami]] 18:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::But it's arguable that this is less a remake than a "make" - the OB was never animated in the first place.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on guys! Get your heads in the game.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Right now I am putting off writing a 
paper for my English class. Can you 
write my Englilsh paper for me? I 
don't even care if it's good or not, 
I just don't want to do it. 
 
Kyle Smith, 
Manhattan, Kansas</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops and says "Ahh. Never get tired of how that sounds" after reading "Dear Strong Bad". He also reads "Englilsh" as "Englilish".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... ''{typing}'' I don't really think you need to worry about it being any good if ''you'' write it, Kyle. But I'll take a crack at it.

''{Cut to a blank sheet of paper. As Strong Bad details more about the paper, it appears onscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So let's start out with the title page. "A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper" by Kyle Smith. You know, it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit, Kyle. Y'know, like throw a cool nickname in there, like Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith. Oh, yeah! That right there will get you five to ten extra credit points easy. Then you move into the introduction. ''{Strong Bad starts typing the essay}'' Chances are, this is all your teacher's gonna read before they give you a grade, so...that's why the cool nickname is so important. "The Yellow Dart." I'm awesome. Then you got the body, which is-a my personal favorite...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! I'm inside your house.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, while typing the essay}'' Oh. That sucks. What can I do for ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Can I have the rest of this breakfast burrito?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I guess. What do you want it for?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Umm... I'm gonna try and sell it at some type of online auction.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, do whatcha gotta do. Look, I'm busy writing a paper for my man "The Yellow Dart" over here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay bye! ''{runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Homestar, still voiceover}'' Uh, you won't get more than three-fifty for it! Believe me, I've tried.

''{Cut to the essay as written sitting on a desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Okay, so I think we're just about done. We just need to apply a little double-space action... ''{The essay becomes double-spaced}'' or, uh...maybe a little triple-space action... ''{The essay becomes triple-spaced}'' then I'd beef it up with some random diagrams... That can't hurt.

''{The diagram is a comparison of eating one battery to eating five batteries. Cut to Strong Bad sitting in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think it's pretty good as-is, but, uh...couldn't hurt to throw a little cash in there to uh...seal the deal. ''{typing}'' Alright The Yellow Dart, you owe me, man. Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples. Now it is my intention to sit down and play video games for several hours.

''{Strong Bad gets up, [[The Paper]] comes down, and the essay appears onscreen.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of it, flip to the page after the title page and click on the words "The Cheat's allowance" to see the [[Some Type of Online Auction|online auction]] for the breakfast burrito.
*Keep flipping through the paper, and after it flips back to the front, you'll be able to [[Miscellaneous Downloads|download]] the paper in the Microsoft Word .doc format.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Originally, the cash was scanned pictures of actual money. However, [[The Brothers Chaps]] later scrapped the idea, probably because they were alerted to the fact that scanning currency is a federal felony in the United States.
** Scanning U.S. currency in the U.S. is not a felony, only if the scanned pictures are smaller than their real counterparts, so scanning money and shrinking it would not have gotten [[The Brothers Chaps]in trouble.
*Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith allegedly reported via an Internet forum that he actually ''did'' submit Strong Bad's English paper along with his own real one.
*Originally, the half-eaten burrito was actually listed for sale on eBay. According to a message board from the time of release, the burrito shot from $3.50 to over $1,000,000 in a matter of hours. By 9:10 pm it was past $5,000,000, and by 10:19 pm it had maxed out at $99,999,999. During this time messages were displayed somewhere from Homestar, including:

<blockquote>Oh my god you guys are crazy!!! This isn't even one of Marzipan's famous tofu breakfast burritos.
But since you guys like so much, guess what, I'll throw in the plate.
BTW, watch for my upcoming auctions: One of The Cheat's sweat socks, Marzipan's bread and butter pickle recipe,
and Strong Sad's autographed Moby baby-doll tee!</blockquote>

<blockquote>Alright, alright! I'll pay the shipping. It's the least I can do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>C'mon guys, quit going crazy on my auction.
This thing isn't worth half of what it's going for. It is half-eaten, afterall.
I'm going to use the money to buy Marzipan a Yello Dello.
And if that's you running up the price, The Cheat, don't ask me to shave your back anymore.</blockquote>

Due to the large number of bogus bids, the burrito was eventually pulled. The cancellation notice(s) read:

<blockquote>Sewiouslwy guys, this thing is half eaten afterall.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The King Of Town ate the burrito. This does not look good for Homestar Runner. </blockquote>
*Within the online auction page is the first time Strong Bad is called a "[[Wrestleman|wrestle man]]."

===Remarks===
*According to the auction Easter egg, Homestar's [[Characters' Contacts|screen name]] is witchesbrew82—yet another in a long line of [[Witches' Brew]] references. The high bidder is cheatachu72, which happens to be [[The Cheat]]'s AOL Instant Messenger screen name.
*Cancelling out the negatives, "Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples" means "Somebody can say Strong Bad did something for the peoples."
*The aforementioned phrase is the second time Strong Bad has used a quadruple negative (Can't, nobody, never, nothing). Previously in [[marzipan]], he asked marzipan "Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?" Which, cancelling out the negatives means, "Do you dislike not Strong Bad?" That roughly means, "Do you hate anybody that's not Strong Bad?"
*Strong Bad taped $2.53 to the back of the paper. It is not entirely clear whether the silver coins are nickels or quarters, though the portrait looks similar to that on the fake one dollar bills, which also feature George Washington.
*The printable version of the english paper was created on Sunday, February 23, 2003 10:27:00 PM and printed on Monday, February 24, 2003 4:57:00 AM. The software it was written on is registered to "Preferred Customer" of "Dell Computer Corporation."
*The a> prompt is missing from the back button.

===Fast Forward===
*The diagram of the man eating a battery is later used in [[bottom 10]], except instead of a battery, he has a [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffy Puff Marshmallow]] crammed in there.

== The English Paper ==
<blockquote style="font-family:monospace; width: 35em; text-align: center">
"A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper" 
by Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith
</blockquote>

<blockquote style="font-family:monospace; text-indent:3em">
Since maybe like the Middle Ages, there have been many 
differing opinions on hustle and bustle. This cannot be 
denied. It is my intention to sit down and play video games 
for several hours.

First, moving around quickly, and with purpose, is a 
true sign of character. Secondarily, bustle(e.g. hustle) 
yields more product for the working types. "Hustle and bustle 
are like my right and left arms," said Li'l Spicy in his famous 
"Hustle and Bustle Are Like My Right and Left Arms" speech. 
Webster's defines bustle as "excited and often noisy activity; 
a stir." A stir, indeed. Finally, sometimes gross stuff can 
be funny.

In conclusion, I, "The Yellow Dart," think I have done a 
great job illustrating the many differing opinions about hustle 
and bustle, may they both rest in peace. Also, I think Strong 
Bad should decrease The Cheat's allowance.
</blockquote>

''{Page Three features the batteries diagrams, and Page 4 features fake money taped to a piece of paper}''

== DVD Version ==
*The "Englilsh" Paper is only accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-right corner of the Compy 386 screen. However, you now get to hear Strong Bad read the paper aloud! Furthermore, there are some additional comments near the end of this.
**'''STRONG BAD:''' Eating one battery. Eating five batteries. Oh, that guy has got quite a gullet. ''{turns to page four}'' And what I like to call a little...inshoirance.
*The Breakfast Burrito is accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen instead of through the Englilsh Paper. Like with the Englilsh Paper, you get to hear Homestar Runner read it.

Strong Bad and The Cheat try out a model rocket and have a run-in with a drive-thru speaker.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|The Cheat}}, [[Drive-Thru Whale]]

'''Places:''' [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 19, 2007

'''Running Time:''' 2:19

'''Page Title:''' Shoots up to 300 feet!

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in the middle of the field. Strong Bad is holding a toy rocket on the end of a pump.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat. This is gonna be bro-awesome. This thing's gonna shoot all the way up to Europa! And bring us back a couple of Europa-pean lobsters to grill up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. ''{Pumping the pump}'' Three... two... one... ''{He releases the rocket and it falls onto the ground. Strong Bad stares at the sky}'' Look at it go! I can barely see it already an— ''{notices the rocket lying on the ground}'' Oh. That was nothing like the back of the box. ''{Shaking his fist at the sky}'' Where's my space lobster? You know what that means. It's time to employ... The Compress''or''!

''{Cut to the same location later on. Strong Bad has attached an air compressor to the rocket, which slowly grows bigger as more air is pumped into it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Three... Two... One...

''{The rocket flies into the air}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at it go! ''{He runs after it}'' I can almost taste the buttery claw meats!

''{Strong Bad runs into a plastic whale with a speaker in its teeth and falls down. A loud WANG sound effect is heard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where'd you come from?

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' ''{Scratchy and difficult to understand voice}'' Would you like to try a combo meal?

''{Strong Bad stands up and dusts himself off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, sure. But no cheese, and, um, extra sauce?

''{The Cheat arrives}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know. I think I just ordered a combo meal from this—

''{The camera cuts back a bit; no hint of a restaurant, other than the speaker, is seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —invisible restaurant. You don't have any invisible cash, do you?

''{The Cheat puts his hands in his fur where pockets would be, and takes them out again as if holding money}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you're loaded! ''{To the speaker}'' And, uh, ''{Cut to view from inside the Drive-Thru Whale Speaker}'' let me get a crappy toy meal for my The Cheat here.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Nine-seventeen, sever your leg please, sir.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut back to view outside Drive-Thru Whale}'' Could you repeat that? ''{Shakes head}'' I thought you just asked me to sever my leg.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Incredulous}'' "Sever my leg"? "It's the greatest day"? I'm not sure I understand the transaction that's taking place here.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Please enter your password. ''{plays a tune while the water from the blow hole moves up and down}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' My The Cheat wants to know what your crappy toy is this week.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' It's brown.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To The Cheat}'' It's brown.

''{The Cheat starts to cry}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I guess they're ''out'' of blue ones.

''{The Cheat cries harder}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Angrily at the Drive-Thru Whale}'' Look what you did!

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Steve, drive around to the seventh window.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What window? You're just a crackly drive-thru whale out in the middle of a field! ''{The word 'field' echoes and the camera angle switches to show the emptiness of the field}'' Come on, The Cheat. Let's take our invisible business elsewhere.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk away. As soon as they're off screen, the rocket falls back down and breaks open, and a purple lobster with brown spots comes out.}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg please, sir.

''{The lobster makes odd warbled noises and removes one of its claws, and the whale bends down and eats the lobster. One claw remains on the ground. The whale blasts off into space, playing the same tune from earlier. A silhouette of a lobster with "end." written on it appears.}''

== Easter Eggs==

*Click on "end." for a scene with Strong Bad and The Cheat at another invisible restaurant.
:'''STRONG BAD''': Now ''this'' place knows how to invisibly treat a person, The Cheat! ''{to an invisible waiter}'' Ah, yes, thank you, Inviso-Jeeves. We'd like another bottle of Château Prétende 1974, please. Oh, and, uh, how 'bout a blue one for my little friend here?
:'''THE CHEAT''': ''{pleased The Cheat noises}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)|Europa]] is one of [[Wikipedia:Jupiter (planet)|Jupiter]]'s moons, and the possibility of Earth-like biology in its oceans has periodically led to [[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)#Exploration of Europa|plans for its exploration]].
*Château Prétende is [[Wikipedia: French language|French]] for "Pretend Manor," and is a play on the traditional practice of identifying wines by their estate of origin. (e.g. Château Margaux, Château Latour, etc.)

===Remarks===
*The Field has a flatter, more cartoonish look than usual, with streaky clouds in the sky.
*When Strong Bad shouts at the drive-thru whale about being isolated in the middle of the field, his voice echoes even though there is nothing else in the field for the sound of his voice to bounce off of.
*According to [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/12/061211-sea-creatures_2.html this article on National Geographic] the recent discovery of a deep sea lobster in the Indian Ocean has led scientists to believe that similar organisms may live on Europa.

===Inside References===
*The way that Strong Bad emphasizes the suffix "or" in "Compress-OR" is a reference to [[other days]], when he calls [[Dolph Hauldhagen]] the "Instruc-TOR".
*The fact that the drive-thru whale can play music harks back to [[what I want]], which mentioned music being played from a Dancing Nobot in "Drive-Thru Stereo".

===Real-World References===
*[[Strong Bad's Rocket]] is an exact replica of an actual rocket toy that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The pump would increase the air pressure in the rocket. Releasing the lock in the base would allow the pressure to expel water from the bottom and cause the rocket to propel itself into the air.
