Poker Night at the Inventory

Jedibob5: What is a "Poothsmith?"

[[File:pokernight.png|thumb|A different kind of poker night.]]

<blockquote>''"There's no quicker way to turn the hotties off than by being a terrible poker player man."'' — [[Strong Bad]]</blockquote>

'''''Poker Night at the Inventory''''' is an upcoming game by [[Telltale Games]] that features [[Strong Bad]], Max (from ''[[Wikipedia:Sam & Max|Sam & Max: Freelance Police]]''), Tycho (from ''[[Wikipedia:Penny Arcade (webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]''), and the Heavy (from ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]''). Telltale promises that it will feature "a new style of poker", presumably in a similar manner to that in the company's other card game, ''Telltale Texas Hold 'Em''. One confirmed feature is that characters eventually bet their possessions in the game, such as the Heavy's minigun, Sasha. Early screenshots show it taking place in a library or similar location. The in-game models are the same as used in their respective games, so Strong Bad stands out against the more realistically shaded characters (along with Tycho, who also gets a cel-shaded cartoon look). It is set to be released in fall 2010.

==Fun Facts==
*This is the first time a Homestar Runner character has been in a game with characters from other video game franchises.
*Uncensored [[swears]] will be in the game (with the option to bleep them out), as seen with Tycho's promotional artwork. This would be a first for the family-friendly Homestar Runner cartoon as well.
*The title suggests that the game involves [[gambling]].
*Strong Bad uses the [[The Poopsmith|Poopsmith's]] shovel to scoop up chips.

Why does the Heart reference not listed when several contributors have added it?
-concerned strong bad fan

*Because there are many possible songs that the 'rhythm guitar' could reference, so it's probably just a general reference to rhythm guitar rather than a reference to a specific song. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 02:56, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*What are you thinking? Have you heard Barracuda? This is a wrong call, and I think the Barracuda reference should be in. Nobody who has heard Barracuda would think that Strong Bad was imitating Bonanza. I fail to see any other song that it could be! P.S. It is much more apparent that Strong Bad's rhythm guitar is from Barracuda than it is that the tiny strings are from Creeping Death. So if we can't have Barracuda maybe we should delete Creeping Death as well?
**Well, then, [[STUFF]] it if it matters to you. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 08:37, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

==Death Metal==
D'ya think the jugga jigga wuggas in death metal are a reference to this toon?
:We had a [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/death metal#A Brief History of Jigga Juggas|vote]] on it, and it was decided that they weren't a reference. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Abductors (?) ==

I'd like to suggest as an additional reference the Judas Priest song 'Abductors', from their 1997 album Jugulator. In the song Tim Owens screams out "and they come in the niiiiiiiiight", essentially the way SB does. Maybe someone else is familiar with this song and would care to comment?

==References==
I think it's safe to say that the ambiguous "guitar noises" are not references to any specific song.--[[User:68.60.19.184|68.60.19.184]] 04:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

== How Does Strong Bad Play Hot Lixx With Boxing Gloves? ==

I just wanted to point this out, and perhaps it should be mentioned in the main Guitar article-- it seems it could be a reference to the "How do you type with boxing gloves?" joke.
:Probably not a deliberate reference, but it might make a good email for Strong Bad not to answer. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
True, but Strong Bad hasn't not answered an email for a long time (since the days of... uh, the sbemail we're discussing, except for a few here and there). I doubt they're going to do another one for a while (until they can't find a good email, at least). Eh well. xP

====Revisit?====
For what it's worth, when I heard [http://www.zshare.net/audio/barracuda-fergie-mp3.html the song] in ''Shrek the Third'' tonight, I immediately thought of this email.

==homestartotcom?==
down in the commentary section, near the end. Are you guys sure that's right?

==Death Metal==
D'ya think the jugga jigga wuggas in death metal are a reference to this toon?
:We had a [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/death metal#A Brief History of Jigga Juggas|vote]] on it, and it was decided that they weren't a reference. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Abductors (?) ==

I'd like to suggest as an additional reference the Judas Priest song 'Abductors', from their 1997 album Jugulator. In the song Tim Owens screams out "and they come in the niiiiiiiiight", essentially the way SB does. Maybe someone else is familiar with this song and would care to comment?

==References==
I think it's safe to say that the ambiguous "guitar noises" are not references to any specific song.--[[User:68.60.19.184|68.60.19.184]] 04:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

== How Does Strong Bad Play Hot Lixx With Boxing Gloves? ==

I just wanted to point this out, and perhaps it should be mentioned in the main Guitar article-- it seems it could be a reference to the "How do you type with boxing gloves?" joke.
:Probably not a deliberate reference, but it might make a good email for Strong Bad not to answer. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
True, but Strong Bad hasn't not answered an email for a long time (since the days of... uh, the sbemail we're discussing, except for a few here and there). I doubt they're going to do another one for a while (until they can't find a good email, at least). Eh well. xP

'''Cat Mess''' is a brand name of [[Wikipedia:Cat litter|kitty litter]] found in [[Free Country, USA]]. It is first seen as part of an arts and crafts project [[Marzipan]] was demonstrating to [[Strong Bad]] in [[lady fan]]. Along with junk mail, it would have been used to make a really creative centerpiece, until Strong Bad decided to use "[[BMW Lighter|pyrotechnics]]" to burn it. Later, it appears as the sponsor of a [[pet show]] named the "[[Cat Mess Inbredtational Pet Show]]", in which [[Homestar Runner]] ends up winning the Best in Sheen prize.

What is it that Homestar says at the end of this? It sounds like 'Everybody! Follow your leader! Everybody! Laddy da leda!"

Why does Homestar say "la dee dah de dah"? Why doesn't he just say "Everybody, Everybody" like how the song actually is?

I believe he says, "Everybody, Matt is our leader. Everybody, Matt is our leader," i.e., Matt Chapman is making his character refer to himself.

I always thought it was "Everybody! Everybo-dee-dah!" [[User:68.107.96.136|68.107.96.136]] 00:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I really don't think so, Homestar clearly says "la dee la dee dah", atleast that is in my opinion... That's pretty much what it sounds like.. i guess. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 23:01, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I read on Wikipedia that if you play the intro song backwards, you hear the kids singing "Viva Satan". Weird, huh? I tried it out myself, it's creepy. Yeah. {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 17:19, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

== I know this is probably a coincidence... ==

Has anyone heard the song "That's Good" by Devo (from the 1982 album Oh, No! It's Devo)? 'Cause the "Everybody, everybody" of the Intro theme has the same rhythm as the lines "Everybody, it's a good thing" from the song I refer to. I know it's nothing truly notable, but I couldn't help but think of Homestar when I first heard the Devo song. Just a random comment.

* Now that I think about it, yeah. I think Homestar is more Devo than Strong Sad is.

-Alex H.

*OMG I just noticiced something!!!!! The intro drums to home star run go are almost the same as the intro drums to whip it! -Alex H.

== Possible reference to Super Dave Osbourne ==

I just came to realize that the lights in this intro may be a reference to the Super Dave Osbourne show from 1987-1993. As I recall (can't find a clip to verify) the wall lit up to spell out SUPER DAVE prior to it being lifted and Super Dave walking on stage. --[[User:74.224.8.207|74.224.8.207]] 03:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

The Poopsmith

2007-09-29T17:47:11Z

Jedibob5: /* Speech */

{{charnav|The Poopsmith|poop|The King of Town|Homsar}}
[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A crappy job (literally)]][[Image:Babyds.PNG|thumb|The Diapersmith says: "Phrppp!"]]

== Biography ==
'''The Poopsmith''' is just a regular guy with a ''very crappy'' job. Literally. It's unclear whether "The Poopsmith" is his actual name, as it's used occasionally with an [[integral article]], but often without. His body is peach-colored and egg-shaped, and he has small blue legs and feet, a white head, and an enormous underbite. He always wears a pair of large orange gloves stained with [[whatsit]], and he is usually seen carrying a large shovel. The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and [[#Speech|never officially speaks]], nor does he seem to ever display any emotions or facial expressions. He does occasionally hold up signs to communicate, however. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture, similar to how his [[Old-Timey]] incarnation, [[The Demon]], uses his pitchfork.

While it is still unclear exactly what his job is, The Poopsmith has been employed by [[the King of Town]], apparently to shovel whatsit for a living. While he never seems to transfer whatsit between his constantly-soiled gloves and anything he touches, the inherently filthy nature of his job tends to keep him out of most social circles; for example, he is apparently banned for life from Strong Bad's [[Swimming Pool]], as seen in [[keep cool]]. Despite this, he seems to be held in deep respect by the other characters. For example, [[Strong Bad]] has refrained from [[your friends|hurting]] The Poopsmith, figuring "the guy shovels [[crap]] for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof." He even [[big white face|made two cakes]] for The Poopsmith (though he threw one of them at [[Strong Sad]]). The Poopsmith also seems to be a good friend of [[Pom Pom]].

During [[disconnected]] he is depicted as being the King of Town's law enforcement agent, defending the King and his "municipality" from the rock-throwing disobedience of [[Head Bad and Strong Body|Strong Body]]. He also has some musical talents: he plays the cymbals for the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]], which made its first appearance in [[Fall Float Parade]]; and is the lead vocalist for [[All the King's Men!]] despite never speaking (he simply gestures with the microphone).

In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], the Poopsmith is married to a bouquet of flowers, but they died after coming into contact with his stench.

In Halloween toons, the easter eggs are often triggered by clicking on something in the same scene as The Poopsmith. They usually trigger a Homsar appearance.

*'''Domicile:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]
*'''First Appearance:''' [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Crapatola!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

''{Cut to the Poopsmith shoveling through his pile of whatsit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen, narrating in animal show host type voice}'' Here we have a rare glimpse of the Poopsmith in his natural habitat. ''{drops narrative tone}'' Pretty nasty, if you ask me. Oh, ''{narrating}'' The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence. ''{drops narrative tone}'' I'm about to take a vow of throwin' up my cookies all over this microphone. ''{taps microphone twice}'' How much is this thing worth, anyways? 'Cause it's about to be worth a lot less. No for real. The Poopsmith is a good guy. He just got a crappy job.

== Speech ==
[[Image:Poopsmith_spokemaybe.png|thumb|Couldn't be him. Naw.]]
The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and never officially speaks. However, there have been a few minor exceptions:
* In [[The King of Town DVD Storyboards]], The Poopsmith was supposed to say "Nope". This line was not included in the actual toon.
* In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], The Poopsmith (dressed as a Sleestak) hisses at Strong Bad (disguised as [[Homestar Runner]]) and [[The Cheat]].
* One of the changes Strong Bad would make in his [[different town]] is for The Poopsmith to talk. To demonstrate this change, the fantasy Poopsmith says "Hello!"
* In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "doodle memory" includes a scene with "The Diapersmith" blowing a raspberry at baby [[Strong Sad]], although this is probably before he took his vow of silence.
* In [[senior prom]], a deep voice (similar to The Poopsmith's imaginary voice in [[different town]]) says "Oh yeah!"; though we never find out who actually says this, it is strongly implied that it was The Poopsmith (who was seen holding a microphone earlier in the email). When everyone looks at him in shock, he just shrugs it off. In the DVD commentary for this email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] suggest that it might instead be [[The Blacksmith]].
* In [[Ever and More!]] The Poopsmith appears to join the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in chanting the "frothy, shanty chant", although his mouth doesn't move when the other characters' mouths do.

Jedibob5: just noticed that it includes that in the article.

Nice project: I don't want to add anything you don't like, but here is my thoughts:
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!" - One scorpion goes into his mouth and I guess he likes to eat them.
*"I'm the ghost of Christmas past." - He is dressed as '''Ghost''' Dog, and mixing with another holiday.
*"And also with you." - He is insulted and tells Homestar that ''he'' doesn't get a ding in reply.
*"I do what I'm told..." - as you wrote: Strong Bad had just '''told''' him to get outta his house.

:::My point in doing this analysis was, as It's dot com mentioned, to objectively observe what Homsar is saying and relate it to the scene in which he said it. In many cases, you can clearly see the connection between his statement and what's going on, and in the cases where that connection ISN'T clear (or there doesn't appear to be one at all), interpretation is limited mainly to "There doesn't appear to be a connection, but this sentence is syntactically valid/correct on its own", etc. I removed as much POV stuff from the article as I could when I moved it to the main namespace. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

: I'm taking another look at it, and... I want to say that maybe I feel stronger than before that this page is ridiculous.

They also very easily could be random nonsense. Por ejample:
::''"Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."''
::''The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.''
:That this says that he could make some sense makes no sense, at least to me. Could you at least explain it a little? Is it because he's "thrilled" to be part of the Happy T stuff? Because he says three words that start with the letter "T"? Perhaps it's not a word salad because it would make sense in a totally different context, but in this context, it's meaningless as far as I can easily see.

== Strong Sad's Blog And An Email ==

What about in Strong Sad's Blog where Strong Sad writes that one day when he was talking to Homsar, Homsar kept saying, "When can we start the Jeffersons?" In the blog it's also mentioned that at a party Homsar told Strong Sad to hug a tree. While no quotes, it would be interesting to point out in summary that Homsar's language skills seem to let him organize a party. And finally, Strong Sad in [[2 emails]] tells Strong Bad that Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 07:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

== Cleanup ==

I propose we have another look at this article for the sake of improving it. Last time people were regularly discussing it, there were some serious concerns as to its merit. I find this article to be very useful, but like some who have raised objections above, I am concerned about some sections of it. Quite simply, I think sometimes this article tries too hard to make sense of Homsar's sentences. As an example, this explanation of the phrase "I'm a million ladies tall":
<blockquote>
Not really a word salad as Homsar's statement could be interpreted as, "I'm as tall as any of those ladies."
</blockquote>
seems to me to be sretching it to the breaking point. I realise that part of this is because this study was originally made in order to refute the notion that Homsar speaks in word salads, but now that this point has been effectively made, I think the article needs to be reworked to a more neutral perspective. I intend to start work on this soon, and would value any help and input anyone would like to give. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:OK, finally trying to do this. So, I made that last edit in the hopes of preserving the original analysis while changing the tone a bit so it doesn't sound as much like it's fishing for sense in Homsar's statements but rather acknowledges both what sense there is and that it still doesn't really fit the context. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

==Thripshaw's Disease?==
Homsar's speech patterns seem to me to be inspired by a fictional disease: Thripshaw's Disease, from a Monty Python sketch. "Well as I say, you'd just be talking and out'll pudenda the wrong word and ashtray's your uncle. So I'm really strawberry about it."

==Homsar's Main Page ==
You don't have to include this, but it is an expansion on why Homsar may have chosen to say what he said on each button. (Note: some are pretty obvious)

Toons: "ToOoOoOons!" (This is just a Homsar-esque exageration of the actual word)

Games: "James!" (Words beging with a hard "G" have ocasionally been pronounced with a soft "G", which sounds like a "J" on H*R. This is just contiuing that joke as "Games" with a soft "G" would sound like "James")

Characters: "Kelsey Grammer!" (No idea about this one)

Downloads: "Thank youuuuu." (He could be thanking you for downloading from H*R.)

Store: "Legitimate business." (Possibly stating that the store's "business" is "legitimate")

Email: "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!" (This is just Homsar, being Homsar. He is quite well known for suddenly going "Aaahaaa" so it makes sense he said it on his main page)

[[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 14:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

:"Legitimate business" is one case where it's really difficult to tell exactly what he said.

There was a time when I too thought he said "Legitimate Beer-beer" and admitidly Strong Sad talking over the last sylible didn't help. However I rechecked this very clearfuly. It is deffinetly "Legitimare Business". [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 21:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

==These Easter Pants Are Way Too Tight==

When Homsar's most recent line (from DNA Evidence) was added, I think the explanation was really grasping at straws. Furthermore, the context (Strong Sad reveals secret by accident - Homsar speaks - suspenseful music) seems to suggest, at least to me, that Homsar "said" something that made sense to Strong Sad; perhaps he revealed that he wouldn't keep the secret in Homsaric. It wouldn't be the first time that Homsar said something that is nonsense to the audience but appears to have a clear meaning to the other characters. [[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 10:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

:I dunno, sounds like a threat to me... seems like Homsar thinks being a secret character is too restricting. That makes the most sense from what he said. Perhaps he will use his knowledge as a leverage against Strong Sad to gain main character status. Of course, this is a cartoon where nothing much has happened for... well 11 years now, other than artwork improvement. But its fun to pretend. --[[User:Sines|Sines]] 15:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

== Kind of a stretch? ==
Some of these explanations are a bit of a stretch, aren't they? for example:
*"Sing a song of Pennzoil" Explanation: Possibly a Product Endorsement. Why would someone like Homsar do product endorsements?
*"Caramel corn for president, please." Explanation: Kernel/Colonel Corn joke. Why would someone like Homsar A: ever hear that joke, B: remember it long enough to tell it again, C: use it as praise for Strong Sad, and D: even understand the mechanics of a joke?
*"I'm a million ladies tall." Explanation: Either he's saying he's as tall as any of those ladies, or he has a million ladies with him. A big stretch, since homsar is not as tall as any of those ladies (He barely tops 3 feet tall) and would DEFINITELY not have a million ladies with him. He probably is relating the discussed topic (ladies) into his word salad.
The explanation for his character video also focuses on the "Best foot flowered" line and downplays the other completely nonsensical sentences, especially the "gravy train" line.

Other supporting evidence of word salads: Email [[suntan]]: his testimonial for the Ab-Abber 2000: He uses it to draw a calculator with the word SALAd on it.
Now, while some of his sentences aren't word salads, such as his first ever line and the "I do what I'm told" line, many of them are word salads. [[User:Jedibob5|Jedibob5]] 21:34, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice project: I don't want to add anything you don't like, but here is my thoughts:
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!" - One scorpion goes into his mouth and I guess he likes to eat them.
*"I'm the ghost of Christmas past." - He is dressed as '''Ghost''' Dog, and mixing with another holiday.
*"And also with you." - He is insulted and tells Homestar that ''he'' doesn't get a ding in reply.
*"I do what I'm told..." - as you wrote: Strong Bad had just '''told''' him to get outta his house.

When Homsar's most recent line (from DNA Evidence) was added, I think the explanation was really grasping at straws. Furthermore, the context (Strong Sad reveals secret by accident - Homsar speaks - suspenseful music) seems to suggest, at least to me, that Homsar "said" something that made sense to Strong Sad; perhaps he revealed that he wouldn't keep the secret in Homsaric. It wouldn't be the first time that Homsar said something that is nonsense to the audience but appears to have a clear meaning to the other characters. [[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 10:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

:I dunno, sounds like a threat to me... seems like Homsar thinks being a secret character is too restricting. That makes the most sense from what he said. Perhaps he will use his knowledge as a leverage against Strong Sad to gain main character status. Of course, this is a cartoon where nothing much has happened for... well 11 years now, other than artwork improvement. But its fun to pretend. --[[User:Sines|Sines]] 15:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

::That's the problem. It's ''so'' fun to pretend that the other users have built up a mountain of pure speculation over this small phrase. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

: To Almsfothepudgy: Wouldn't be the first time this page gasped at straws. 9_9 --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:13, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I think he means by "Easter Pants" Easter Eggs...as in secrets and "way to tight" as in unbearible, so "Keeping all these Secrets is Unbearable".{{User:Slipstream/sig}}

I really feel that this meant Homsar completely wasn't listening the entire time, and Strong Sad was giving him too much credit. IE: Homsar was too busy being bothered by imaginary "Easter Pants". Know what I mean? -- [[User:208.60.233.12|208.60.233.12]] 04:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

== Cheese ==

For the [[Who Said What Now?]], couldn't it be a reference to 50 Cent? -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 19:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

== um ==

couldn't i put my best foot flowered be a mix up of i put my best foot forward? [[User:Foogs|Plain ol' Foogs ya'll biscutheads]] 00:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, and it's noted in the article. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

== Kind of a stretch? ==
Some of these explanations are a bit of a stretch, aren't they? for example:
*"Sing a song of Pennzoil" Explanation: Possibly a Product Endorsement. Why would someone like Homsar do product endorsements?
*"Caramel corn for president, please." Explanation: Kernel/Colonel Corn joke. Why would someone like Homsar A: ever hear that joke, B: remember it long enough to tell it again, C: use it as praise for Strong Sad, and D: even understand the mechanics of a joke?
*"I'm a million ladies tall." Explanation: Either he's saying he's as tall as any of those ladies, or he has a million ladies with him. A big stretch, since homsar is not as tall as any of those ladies (He barely tops 3 feet tall) and would DEFINITELY not have a million ladies with him. He probably is relating the discussed topic (ladies) into his word salad.
The explanation for his character video also focuses on the "Best foot flowered" line and downplays the other completely nonsensical sentences, especially the "gravy train" line.

Other supporting evidence of word salads: Email [[suntan]]: his testimonial for the Ab-Abber 2000: He uses it to draw a calculator with the word SALAd on it.
Now, while some of his sentences aren't word salads, such as his first ever line and the "I do what I'm told" line, many of them are word salads.

PS: The "I'm forever your girl" line shouldn't be counted since it is Strong Bad's imagination. [[User:Jedibob5|Jedibob5]] 21:34, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Step 1: You check an email down! Step 2: You tell some kid he's a dork!

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: hygiene movie</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
In 5th grade I have to watch a lame hygiene movie. I was thinking you could make a better movie about hygiene than the cruddy school version. 
Your friend, 
John Katulla
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Katulla" as "Katulalalalala"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Fifth grade boys?!?!! Man, what happened to the hot college girls that used to email me? You ladies stop your be-pantied pillowfighting and drop me a line!

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I suppose I could make a cruddy hygiene movie for you, John. But wouldn't it be so much satisfying to make a cruddy hygiene movie ''about'' you?

''{Cut through static to a blue background. Jazzy music plays. Yellow letters saying "Embarrassing Educational Films" fly into frame. Afterwards the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up and the word "presents" appears below them. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 1: SAY 'HI' TO HYGIENE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet John...

''{The Text "john" appears and Homestar Runner as John pops up looking very dirty and unkempt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John is a cruddy 5th grader. Hi John.

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "john"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AS JOHN:''' I'm a latchkey champion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet Gene...

''{The text "gene" appears. Strong Bad as Gene slides in. He has stylish blonde hair and a pink shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is a beacon of light—

''{Shows Gene in a lighthouse with the lighthouse shining. The lighthouse grows smaller and enters a stink cloud made by John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —shining through the stink cloud generated by John. Hi Gene.

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "gene"}''

'''STRONG BAD AS GENE:''' TGIG y'all. Thank God I'm Gene.

''{Cuts to Gene standing or floating next to Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, all having the same hair as Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is popular and doesn't get good grades.

''{Shows a Fridgin'-A brand refrigerator with a piece paper reading "G-, but sooo charming". Cuts to a closeup of John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John has no friends—

''{Shows John sitting in a desk surrounded by two empty desks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and sits in the front row.

''{Cuts to John in a light brown box and Gene in a light blue box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is John missing that Gene has? Besides rich parents...

''{Three bags of money drop in front of Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, hygiene!

''{"HYGIENE" appears. Cuts to a closeup of Gene}''

'''GENE:''' Hi, gals.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hygiene—

''{A dictionary pops up. A note is taped over the definition of hygiene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is defined as how close people are willing to stand next to you.

''{Cuts to a closeup of John's chest, with his star bent}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John wears shabby clothes that smell like chocolate milk—

''{A chocolate milk carton with a thermometer in its mouth and squinted eyes pops up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with a stomach virus.

''{John blows his nose on his star. He puts it back on. It has boogers on it and slides downwards. Cuts to Gene in front of the "Big Ol' Mall". Two bags fall in next to him, reading "styles upon styles"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mom buys all of his clothes, but she is young and hot enough for that to be okay.

''{An exaggerated feminine hand with a ring emerges from the left. The hand is holding some keys.}''

'''GENE'S MOM:''' ''{voice}'' Mommy's got a grown-up headache, Gene. Why don't you take the boat out for a while?

''{Gene reaches for the keys. Cuts to a bathroom and John walks in. He briefly holds up a washcloth and a bar of soap before dropping them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, John wakes up and forgets to wash his stupid—

''{Cuts to more of a closeup of John's face. It gets closer and closer and closer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —dumb, stinking, ''{yelling}'' fat, smelly, stupid, du—

''{Cuts to a closeup of Gene's face, radiating energy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, the radiant energy from Gene's face—

''{Gene attaches two electricity generating wires to his cheeks, connecting them to a red light bulb on a pad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —powers a small light bulb.

''{The light bulb makes a buzzer noise and lights up. Cuts to a closeup of John's face}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John's mouth is an ecological trainwreck.

''{John opens his mouth, which has a spider web in it. Stink lines come out of it. Black liquid drips from his mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And has a nest of rare South American moths living inside it.

''{John burps and a moth flies out of it}''

'''JOHN:''' Now you be back before din-din, Chauncey.

''{Cuts to Gene's face. His mouth is shining}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mouth is a national park...

''{A sign pops up showing a smile, two trees, two mountains and the words "Gene's Clean Mouth National Park". It also has the same hair as Gene's on top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And his saliva is sold—

''{Gene spits and it forms into a bottle that says "El Gene's Spit" over South America}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in South America as a wonder drug.

''{Cuts to John's room. John is sitting on his bed. There are milkshakes, french fries and bowls of cereal scattered all around the room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John leaves food out all over his room.

''{Scrolls around the room. Cuts back to the middle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a family of squatters have taken up residence in a nearby laundry cave.

''{Shows The Sad Kids standing in front a pile of laundry carved into a cave. Cuts to Gene's room with a pennant saying "A sport!" and a wardrobe}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's Room has a sixteen car pile-up of race car beds.

''{Shows sixteen race car beds stacked on each other. 5 maids and 5 special effects artists appear above the pile of race car beds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a family of 10 maids and special effect artists keep it realistically smoldering and burning.

''{The pile of race car beds catch on fire}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, they also live in a nearby cave.

''{Shows the five maids and five special effects artists standing in front of a cave waving. Cuts to a tube and two jars of cream, powder, and paste}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What can John do to change his hygiene?

''{Cuts to John dropping the tube and two jars}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing at this point. ''{John looks shocked}'' By fifth grade the damage is already done.

''{Shows a pie chart with the Heading "What 5th Graders Remember You For". "Your Stink" is the biggest section, "Your Stonk" after that, followed by "Hot Mom", "Video Games", and "Cool Headband"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And everyone will remember him as a smelly loser no matter what he does.

''{Cuts back to John. Two pennants appear reading "Out of State U!" and "Go Non-Residents!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll probably have to wait and go to an out of state college, where he can reinvent himself.

''{John transforms into a more typical-looking Homestar, with a small beard and a college shirt reading "OoSU Non-Residents"}''

'''JOHN:''' Hooray.

''{Cuts to Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene, on the other hand, better keep up the status quo. ''{a hand starts poking him}'' If he slips up the slightest bit, and gets lice ''{shows his hair with lice jumping up and down}'', or has an ''accident'' at school, ''{Gene covers his pants with his hands. Cut to Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, all with menacing eyebrows and bright blonde hair. The camera slowly zooms in as the background turns red and the music becomes menacing.}'' those fifth graders will just descend on him like a ravenous ''{Cuts to Gene, looking nervous}'' pack of hygiene wolves. And tear him to shreds.

'''GENE:''' Hooray...? ''{Gulps}''

''{Cut to Gene standing next to the words "bye gene".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bye, Gene!

''{Cuts back to the blue background. Jazzy music plays again. Yellow letters saying "Embarrassing Educational Films" fly into frame. Afterwards and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up and the word "presents" appears below them. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 2: PANTS PROBLEMS". Cuts through static back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay John, all done. I hope your classmates like my video. And don't worry, in 8 or 9 years you can just hide behind your new identity as a raver, a greaser, or a whatever ancient Egyptian teenagers called themselves. Now get outta here! None of the college hotties'll show up if you're hanging around, Mothmouth.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, showing alternating colors below the words "Calibration test". "Click here to email Strong Bad" is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, New Paper, you keep sucking just enough to stay interesting.

===Remarks===
*At the end, the New Paper prints out a calibration test. However, you can still click on the lines to email Strong Bad.
*We have seen Coach Z take a shower before in the second deleted scene of [[In Search of the Yello Dello]], make reference to "showering up" in the email [[flashback]] (which [[History According to Strong Bad|might or might not]] have actually happened), and have the [[record book|world record]] for "longest time without shower" (implying that he has showered before).
** Coach Z also claimed to be "lookin' out for all yer hygienes" in [[senior prom]] when adding Listerine to the punch, so he is familiar with hygiene.

== Lyrics ==
'''VISOR ROBOT:''' Come on, Fhqwhgads.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I said come on Fhqwhgads 
I said come on Fhqwhgads 
Everybody to the limit 
Everybody to the limit 
Everybody come on Fhqwhgads

I said come on Fhqwhgads 
I said come on Fhqwhgads 
Everybody to the limit 
Who's that? It's to the limit 
Everybody come on Fhqwhgads

Come on Fhqwhgads 
I see you jockin' me 
Tryin' to play like 
You know me

I'm like come on Fhqwhgads 
I said come on Fhqwhgads 
Everybody to the limit 
The Cheat is to the limit 
Everybody come on Fhqwhgads

I said ooh ah Fhqwhgads 
I said ooh ah Fhqwhgads 
Who's that fh-huh-hoo-huga-wha 
I said who is that Fhqwhgads

I don't know who it is 
But it probably is Fhqwhgads 
I asked my friend Joe 
I asked my friend Jake 
They said it was Fhqwhgads

I said come on Fhqwhgads 
I said come on Fhqwhgads 
Who's-a to the limit? 
Say me! I'm to the limit 
Everybody come on Fhqwhgads

Man, Fhqwhgads 
You're just making yourself look worse, y'know 
I mean, everybody's just gonna feel sorry for ya 
I mean, I do.

''{Zooms out to reveal Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the video on Tangerine Dreams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking to The Cheat}'' Now that's what I'm talkin' about! That was amazing! I mean you—... I—... I can't b—... Chi-g-d-b ... He—g ... I'm buyin' you a pizza!

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*Fhqwhgads originated in the Strong Bad Email [[i love you]].

===Trivia===
*A "[[Everybody to the Limit (Live)|Live from West Reykjavik]]" version of this song can be found on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Clicking the Back button at the end of the video will always take you to [[Main Page 15]], The Cheat's main page.
*On April 12, 2006, this was the first non-[[Strong Bad Email]] or [[Teen Girl Squad]] cartoon to be added to [[Podstar Runner]], although it includes the intro and outro used for Email podcasts.
*This is the only Powered by The Cheat cartoon that uses Strong Bad's real voice.

===Remarks===
*This is the only time so far that Strong Bad has left outright positive feedback for a Powered by The Cheat cartoon.
*On the MP3 version, the Visor Robot's laser doesn't play.
*The word "on" appears as two stars when Strong Bad raps "I said come on, Fhqwhgads!" for the fourth time. This is most likely because The Brothers Chaps used a font of symbols. [[Wikipedia:Dingbat|Symbol fonts]] are quite popular on the Internet, using stars, flames and even characters from animated shows or video games as opposed to text.
*The chorus is very similar in rhythm to [[Wikipedia:Gap Band|The Gap Band]]'s 1979 hit song "I Don't Believe You Wanna Get Up and Dance (Oops Upside Your Head)", the chorus of which features the lyrics "I said oops upside your head, I said oops upside your head."

===Goofs===
*When the toon is loading, the Visor Robot's shoulder is missing, but after the loading is completed, it suddenly appears.
*Even after the Visor Robot's lasers stop, the laser sound is still made.

===Inside References===
[[Image:everybodytothelemke.png|200px|thumb|Lemke strikes again!]]
*For a split second, as the Visor Robot's head opens to reveal Strong Bad, the words "come on" are replaced on screen by the word "[[lemke]]."
*When Strong Bad comes out of the Visor Robot, he is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*When the multiple CDs fly across the screen, a roll of [[Duct Tape]] is also visible.
*This is another mention of [[Pizza]].
*The Abraham Lincoln heads are from an Easter egg in [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]].

===Real-World References===
*The beat and bassline to the song itself bears a strong resemblance to The Meat Beat Manifesto's "God O.D." from their album, "Storm the Studio" (which also has the voice of William S. Burroughs repeating the same phrase on a sample)
*The red and white "enjoy fhqwhgads" ad on the billboard is based on [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]], who used the slogan "Enjoy Coke."
*The lyric "I asked my friend Joe, I asked my friend Jake" is accompanied by portraits of brothers [[Wikipedia:John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]] and [[Wikipedia:Robert F. Kennedy|Robert F. Kennedy]].
*The yellow and white, [[duck]]-looking things are [[Atari Dragon|Atari Dragons]] from the old [[Wikipedia:Atari 2600|Atari 2600]] game [[Wikipedia:Adventure (Atari 2600)|Adventure]].
*During one of the times the screen is flashing, a profile view of a head can be easily noticed. The head is that of [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]].
*The Visor Robot's voice is [[Wikipedia:Apple Macintosh|Macintosh's]] Zarvox.
*The beat The Cheat uses (minus the handclap) is a sample from James Brown's "Funky Drummer", the basis for countless raps. The "Woo!" sample is mostly likely a reference to Rob Base's hit "It Takes Two", which used the infamous "yeah/woo" loop from "Think (About It)", another oft-sampled James Brown classic.
*The drums The Cheat plays are modeled after Simmons [[Wikipedia:Electronic drum#Early Electronic Drums|electronic drums]], whose distinctive hexagonal shape became mildly iconic in the 1980s.

===Fast Forward===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[your friends]], [[Strong Bad]] hits [[Bubs]] and [[The King of Town]] over the head with a [[Wikipedia:Gold album|Gold Record]] (such as are awarded when an album or single sells 500,000 copies) titled "Everybody To The Limit".
*In the email [[sibbie]], Sibbie said he/she loved the song Strong Bad wrote about Fhqwhgads, and demanded his/her own song.
* The scene where [[Strong Bad]] is sitting in the armchair with the glass of wine is used in [[rock opera]] when Strong Bad says "Ooh, I'm pleasant", although there he is in the [[Smoky Office]].
*The [[milk carton]] appears again in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]] and [[kind of cool]].
*In the Powered by the Cheat cartoon [[crazy cartoon]], Strong Bad says that the cartoon doesn't deserve a pizza.
*In the Strong Bad Email [[what I want]], this song is played by the [[Dancin' Musical Nobots|Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot]]

=== Commentary Transcript ===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it's Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, hey, holy crap, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh- I'm gonna kick you out of this room, this tiny room we're in...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, right, say it. Let me- let me hear you say it. Come on-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, let's talk about this sweet video that The Cheat made.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously with previous line}'' I like your shades, right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This was a milestone in The Cheat's Flash animating career, I think.

'''MIKE:''' This was the second, uh, thing he made, wasn't it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' After the- his own theme song.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That, that travesty that was The Cheat Theme Song. But the song was okay, thanks to The Skate Partay.

'''MIKE:''' So how much, uh, how much did you have to say about this, in terms of, uh, what did you contribute to the video?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, everything. That was my wiffle ball, that was my duct tape, that was my CD...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, so all of the- the JPEG pictures were yours?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously with previous line}'' Look, I was riding the L train, back out to Brooklyn.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' At that time, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Reading- reading the new, the new James L. Took novel.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, it's one of my favorite... authors.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, yeah. That's not true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, look out for that big wiffle ball!

'''MIKE:''' Why is your wiffle ball eating you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, that was The Cheat, he was-

'''MIKE:''' Who- who was that, by the way? The guy with the bag over his head?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was-

'''MIKE:''' Was that the Unknown Comic?

===Fun Facts===

*[[Wikipedia:The Gong Show|The Gong Show]] was a comedic television show in the late 70s; one recurring feature was [[Wikipedia:The Unknown Comic|the Unknown Comic]], who wore a paper bag over his head.
*The mention of convulsions from flashing images is a reference to the phenomenon of [[Wikipedia:Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive seizures]], and in particular the [[Wikipedia:Banned episodes of Pokémon#Electric Soldier Porygon/"Dennou Senshi Porigon"|1997 incident]] in which hundreds of Japanese children reported such seizures after watching a ''[[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' episode featuring rapidly flashing colored frames.
*Although "Airport 76" was not a real movie, Strong Bad may have been referring to the disaster film ''[[wikipedia:Airport '77|Airport '77]]''.
*''[[Wikipedia:Real People|Real People]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:That's Incredible!|That's Incredible]]'' were both reality television shows in the early 80s that interviewed "ordinary" people. ''That's Incredible!'' emphasized paranormal or remarkable phenomena.

== Frivolous Spending ==
I bet this page could be modified & expanded to include all instances of Homestar Runner wasting his money. I'm far too lazy to count them all right now, but examples that stick in my head are buying four ("three for $300") wireless extension cords in [[technology]], and his tax return from [[Arcade Game]]. After all, what's funny about the running gag (to me, anyway) is not the catch phrase, but the insane ways in which he drops cash. -- [[User:Mayosolo|Mayosolo]] 02:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

:Reasoning? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

::It's a major stretch just to write an article on it. Homestar barely talks about his money and it's just littering the wiki. Let's do some [[spring cleaning]]. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

Keep. It's a bona fide inside joke / running gag. It happened 3 times over the course of 6 months, from Nov 2003 to May 2004. I guess you had to be there to appreciate it.

::::::Darth, none of H*R was ever meant to be analysed. That doesn't mean we can't do it.

Anyway, I definitely vote keep. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Sure you can, it's a free country. But why waste your time? Think outside of the box for a moment, how many readers can you benefit by writing articles like this?

Jedibob5: The Block's font has been discovered.

==To-do list==
Remove them from the list when you find them. Add more as appropriate.
*The [[Thnikkaman]]'s offscreen chorus
*[[Chinese Food Toons Menu]] header
*"The 4Tst Annual" on the leaf in [[Fall Float Parade]]
*The font on [[Strong Sad]]'s paste bottle in [[depressio]]
*"Secret Eating!!!" from [[Meet Marshie]]
*The "SB" part of the SBLOUNSKCHED! logo

===Figured one out?===

:This one wasn't on the list. I believe part of the ketchup bottle at the very beginning of Summer Short Shorts is French Script MT. Probably not worth mentioning though; I however like taking screenshots of random things like this and implementing them on desktop backgrounds. I guess it's information though! ;-) -- {{User:Cinnabon37/sig}} 01:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

::No, I don't think it has anything to do with deleted pages. The number on the [[Main Page]] doesn't include pages marked as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]], so as pages are marked and un-marked as stubs, the number changes accordingly. [[Game Sightings]] was the first page to be the 1,000th page. [[Fonts]] appears to be the 1,000th page right now, but if someone marked an article as a stub in a few minutes, the page created after [[Fonts]] (which right now is [[do over]]) would appear to be the 1,000th page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah right, that could work. I just meant hacking and coding as in 'you can't just change the font on the wiki with a little dropdown bar', at least I don't think you can... I just think it would look cleaner than screenshots. But if it's not possible, I'll get on the screenshots. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:::It's not possible. If you change the font of a bit of text on a web page, it only shows up in that font if the visitor has that font installed.

== External Links ==

Shouldn't there be a link to a spot to download the font? [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

:That would be ideal. However, before doing so make sure that the font is free. This will take some research because a lot of fonts that aren't meant to be free are available illegally on some free font sites, and linking to those is out of the question. In other words, just because a font is on some free font site doesn't mean that it's legal, so be very very careful. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 21:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

::[[User:Aero|Aero]] has brought up a good point here-- the needless screenshot seems to make this already long article (mainly due to the long transcript) even longer.

The overall point being the TBC most likely chose to display popups in the style that they did expecting the most number of users to be using the aforementioned browser (along with Windows). And of course there are going to be users of other browsers and operating systems.

== Just a heads up... ==

I've noticed that in previous e-mails that they've singled out occasions where everyone was used. This one come's close so I was wondering if anyone spotted Homsar besides the little Strong Mad sound effect.

:Not I, and it doesn't matter anyway - Pom-Pom is absent as well. - [[User:Jay|Jay]]

== Slight correction ==

I think Strongbad's line early on in the email is "Like the kind that ''mobs in'' offshore casinos send you?", not Moms. Makes more sense anyway, since mobs have been rumored to run, among other things, casinos, and though the idea of mobs distributing viruses is absurd, it pokes fun at the misinformation and paranioa most people have concerning viruses.

== The "Gibberish" Sound ==

I'm probably wasting my time, but I started fooling around with the weird gibberish sounds heard from Marzipan and the glitched Quote of the Day to see if there was any meaning to them. After applying several filters to the original wave file, I've been able to make out the following quote:

"(blah blah blah) this music... and the design... and (blah blah) musician"

Take a listen and see if you can make it out too.

::That's pretty creepy. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

I can't hear the "c" in "composition" there, but it could have been filtered out or something. I could be way off, though.

I uploaded some files - [[Media:Before.ogg|Before]] and [[Media:After.ogg|After]]. These are sounds of distorted marzipan before and after editing - I raised the pitch and used a noise filter. It introduced a lot of extra harmonics, though. This makes me think she's saying "It accentuates the form, and the design, and the composition." - [[User:Eman|Eman]]

* FYI: I fixed your Ogg links. Use <nowiki>[[Media:Before.ogg|Description]]</nowiki> for sound files. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

* After listening to After.ogg (and speeding it up a bit more to more closely match Marzipan's voice), I have to agree. Though those first two words are still pretty obscure - I almost hear "It '''concentrates''' the form" - the rest of it is pretty clear, though. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:35, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
** Actually, listening to the slower version makes me think "In countries, new accord, the desire, and the composition". Makes no sense, but that's what I'm hearing now. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC
*** Here's another edited version: [[Media:After2.ogg|After editing, numba two]]. Here I raised the pitch a little bit more, and got rid of some of the higher harmonic frequencies - the result sounds a little damped, but you can still make it out. I think that the distorted gibberish was in fact a clip of Missy saying "It accentuates the accord, and the design, and the compositionnnn!" which TBC distorted quite a bit and transposed down by two octaves or so. Note that if this was a clip of one of TBC, it would sound like a chipmunk; it's very probably a female voice. Although we can't say for certain that it's Missy Chapman, it seems likely since she provides Marzipan's (normal) voice. - [[User:Eman|Eman]]

== Pruning ==

I just went and slashed a lot of fun facts. I also separated the references for now, just because there are so many (and some are disputed). This might be temporary, and don't think it'd be necessary to create a "References" section for every e-mail, just reference-heavy ones. I'm not entirely happy with that, since in some cases it's hard to figure out if something is more of a fun fact or a reference. But this is just a start and it might help bring some order from the chaos. (I also did my best to order the references in the rough order they appear in the e-mail, so it'll be easier to find the one you want to edit/remove/etc.) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:17, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Just to clarify, the idea in separating the references from the fun facts now is so that both can be pruned more efficiently. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] 08:27, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I disagree that it'd be necessary for all the other e-mails. I mean, really, is it that necessary that every e-mail page follow precisely the same format? It's good to be consistent, but also bear in mind that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". I don't see advantages in doing it for all the other e-mails.

:I think if this one needs it, all others need it (except for ones who have no references in them).

::You don't understand. You ''all'' understand. I mean, don't understand. Well, anyway, the difference is that transcripts, toons, etc. follow the same general format because there is usually no significant reason to deviate. On the other hand, most of them don't have "fun facts" sections filling up a third of the page, either. You say they all need to follow precisely the same format, but I must ask you: why? This isn't arbitrary format fiddling. I stated my case (which you didn't argue with), and I also said that it will probably be temporary. Tell me, what brings greater benefit: trying to organize the <s>mess</s> mass of <s>dumb</s> fun facts, or sticking to the same old format for no reason other the sake of sticking to a format? - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 08:02, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Crossing the 4th Wall ==
I disagree with the last fun fact. Never do the characters acknowledge that they are CARTOONS. In the homestar universe, the strong bad emails (as the cheat is watching on his computer in huttah!) are analogous to live TV shows in our universe. Similarly, all the other instances can be explained by assuming that Strong Bad and co. are aware that people are watching them, but just as a live show.

:Well, that's what the [[HRWiki:STUFF]] page is for. If you don't like a fun fact (and it hadn't gone through the process already), just move it there. I'll do it for ya this time. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 23:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== New "glitch" ==

I'm a bit skeptical about this new glitch:
*On some browsers, this email doesn't work properly. First, the "Click On The Monkey" popup never appears even after disabling pop up blockers, then all the animation (except for the characters blinking) stops during the Strong Mad and Marzipan section.
What browsers are we talking about here? At the very least, we should list what changes from browser to browser. I haven't noticed any difference from Firefox to IE. I'm thinking this glitch might be due to a particular user's settings. As such, I've removed it from the article for now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)

:It is probably my settings that lead to this. I'm using Win XP, with SP2. Due to my administrator not seeing how good Firefox is, I'm using IE 6, with Norton Internet Security 2005 installed. I have no idea why this causes the above to happen, or why it always takes me to Main Page 1 instead of NaN. It just does.

===Bubs' Belt===
At one point of the email Bubs' belt disappears. I think that this may be because his belt is basically the same color as the grass. It would have the same effect as if there were a green-screen: it would disappear.

=== The Number 423,827 ===
I'm just wondering what significance, if any, the number 423,827 has to HomeStarRunner.com. I personally think it could be the total number of Strong Bad e-mails recieved to date <s>by the site</s> since SB got his Compy, however I do not know how to confirm that.

'''Interesting''' Hmm... it could be posssible. I mean, thats less than 4000 emails a week, which isnt alot for popular websites. Is there anyway to confirm this? --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 17:38, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

*** '''Decline anyway''' Unless it gets re-used, I don't see how that matters. I mean, it was just an arbitrarily large number.

===Real virus?===
Since the curret Frequently Asked Questions page says every email but 'mile' is real, it's safe to assume someone actually tried to crash Compy 386 by sending a virus to Strong Bad.
*'''Decline''' I've got a real problem with this one. The e-mail could have just been corrupted or broken in transit, or, like 'fhqwhgads', it could have been someone just mashing on the keyboard. Also, since Compy 386 isn't actually a real computer, someone couldn't actually "crash" it by sending a virus to Strong Bad. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 16:20, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

=== Gilligan's Island? (Declined) ===
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

This is probably true, however in the middle of the series, they changed the lyric "and the rest" to "the professer and Marianne" considering that the only two people left were just as important as the others, and two people hardly constitutes as "the rest."

=== Strong Sad's blog (Declined) ===
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website.

*Oh no, I said the word "to" in the wrong "context"(that word has no context BTW). Anyway I was referring to the fact that the e-mail marks the end of the compy 386, that much is obvious. As for tandy having 40 e-mails and compy having 78, that belongs on the strong bad e-mails article, not the virus one. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Weak Accept / Rewrite''' - I also second AtionSong's vote. If you revise it by making it seem like a fact rather than just a comment, as stated above, then it comes together as a solid fact.

== Should we make this page look Virus'd? ==
I thought instead of being like a normal page, this can look like a virus affected it. I thought on the picture of each page, it can look like this.
Should I do this?
[[Image:dthumb.png]]
:That's a clever idea, but I wouldn't mess with the page without a huge consensus to do so, which I doubt will be forthcoming. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:45, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:: Even if you were going to do that (and I'm against it, BTW) that picture doesn't look anywhere near glitchy enough. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:55, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: Creative. Clever. Brings flavor to the page. Tastes like raspberry sherbet. But this is an encyclopedia. Sorry, Hamburger. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:58, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: On [[The Virus]] maybe we can replace one of the pictures with this. The description is on the top, when it should be on the bottom. Also, enen though this is an encyvlopedia, why not do it? [[Image:dthumb2.png]]

::Encyclopedia: ''a reference work containing articles on various topics dealing with the entire range of human knowledge or with some particular specialty.'' It's not for fanstuff such as a glitched up page. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

:::Well, it's your decision. If you want it normal instead of Virus'd, have it that way.

::::I don't mean to shoot you down, Lotionman. But here is the biggest problem I have with it: I don't want every random user to throw in their own little mutation to make the page appear more virus'd. Personally, it would get sickening after a while. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:24, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Not to mention if someone '''actually comes here looking for information on this email''', it being all glitchy would make it much harder to get this information. This is a ''knowledge base'', not a fanstuff. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

== Never say never ==
When I watch this email, it appears to me that Strong Bad is saying he CAN relate, but it's written here as CAN'T.

== Whats exactly is a broken JPEG ==

well?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 06:16, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:A broken JPEG (or any image file) usually means that the image file cannot be found because the name was changed or it was typed incorrectly. [[Strong_Bad%27s_Website#Explanations|Here is a good example]]. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 06:21, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Appeal ==

A fact about the quadratic formula similar to the one [[Talk:virus#Quadratic_formula|above]] was on the page for a couple of months, but then it was removed because it had been declined. It is a longstanding tradition to respect previous STUFF votes, even ones from the original format. In other words, you can't just dispute an item just because the vote didn't turn out like you hoped it would. In certain cases, however, it seems that if '''sufficient grounds''' can be found to reopen an item (for example, a fundamental change in the way we list fun facts), then we could reopen one. I would therefore like to '''appeal''' the quadratic formula fact on the following grounds:
:''At the time this item went through the process (which was still in its infancy), we did not have an Explanations subsection of Fun Facts. Now that we do, this item is a perfect fit for that category.''
I would like to discuss here whether these grounds are sufficient to reopen the item. Please take a look at the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=233265 proposed format] for the appeal. Note that all original votes count. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

::I support the idea of an appeal of this fact. I additionally like how your idea of what an appeal would look like inserts smoothly into the current STUFF interface. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:12, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Heh, I wasn't paying attention and mistaken it for the real thing. I completely agree with the appeal. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 03:17, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
::::I totally support this too. This is a reasonable fact, and a good reason to appeal. Now that we have explanations, we should use 'em. I support this. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::::I agree. Do you think I agree? I agree! {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 03:39, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
This item was entered into the appellate process. See [[#Quadratic_Appeal|above]] for the results. (Oh, all right, I'll just tell you: It was overwhelmingly accepted.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

== JPEG/G-PEG? ==

The transcript mentions Bubs saying his mouth was a "broken JPEG" but it sounds like he said "gee-peg". Can anyone else have a listen and agree or disagree? [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 03:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
:G-peg isn't really a word or term. I think Jpeg makes more sense (though nothing really makes sense in this email). {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
::I think that's probably just Bubs' speech style affecting it. '''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, man... are GPEGs real? '''BUBS:''' Not yet! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== Images ==

I have two questions: Is there a picture of Strong Bad in front of the black? Didn't
this page once loaded with pictures? [[User:Beep|Beep]] 22:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== Goofs ==

When strong bad runs away from bubs and the cheat, his legs are missing in the flash file. The left arm also disappears.

just got RV'd on terms of "flash artifact" but when the left arm disappears it is apperent in the normal html version for 3 frames. I don't know if this matters or not as a goof, but just informin'. I can get a screenshot if you want.--[[User:Collin|Collin]] 03:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
:I think you mean his ''right'' arm, which is on our left. You're right, the arm disappears, but I don't think it's a goof. I think instead his arm is supposed to have swung behind his back as he's breaking into a run, and thus wasn't visible. The fact that it returns before he exits the frame (as the arm swings forward) shows that it was intentional. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:10, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

ha, yeah thats what i meant. sorry i'm dumb. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 07:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

==1982==
<blockquote>Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created. Although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made, it would pretty much be impossible for a virus scanner to have existed in 1982.</blockquote>
[[Wikipedia:Elk Cloner (computer virus)|Wikipedia]] claims that the first in-the-wild virus was written in 1982... I found this after [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s%20Technology&diff=323367&oldid=323362 seeing] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s_Technology&diff=next&oldid=323430 changing] an edit on [[Strong Bad's Technology]] – I saw the above fun fact when I came to add it here... the "Conflicting accounts" part makes me not want to blindingly trust Wikipedia on this (since conflicting reports are what a wiki is generally bad at) so does anyone have more info? Apologies for the massive run-on sentance. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

==Wirus vs. Virus==
Matt incorrectly used the German pronunciation. In german, you pronounce your w like v's, not v's like w's. V's are pronounced a like our f's. Want me to change it?
:You're right about how W's and V's are pronounced in German. But Matt is not really incorrect. You see, Germans speaking English often make both mistakes: substituting W for V and V for W. I had a German teacher from Switzerland who used to always tell me to conjugate the "werb" correctly. So we should leave the fact as it is. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Ahh... ok. Sorry Matt.

==423,827 viruses?==
Arent there only about 114,000 viruses for pc's, 'cause strongbad got 423,827?
:Yes, some anonymous user (you?) added the fact the other day, and it has been reworked and moved to [[virus#Remarks]]. (it's the third from the top).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::er, yeah, that's me. I don't have an account, though. I didn't notice it had been moved. thanx for tellin me.

== Curiosity: any luck decoding the garble? ==

I don't know. I kinda put it through Sound Recorder and sped it up. It ends with something like "position" or something... I don't know. Anyone else have any luck with decoding this garble? --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 04:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== CLEANUP: font contradiction ==

So what IS it anyway? Fractions or Reference Specialty? [[The Virus]] article says Reference Specialty. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 15:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

:First, I'm removing the clean-up tag, because I'm pretty sure we're only talkin' about one fact. Second, I don't see anything on [[The Virus]] about Reference Specialty. And by me, I mean Ctrl-F. So, if there's no use of Reference Specialty, I'd just leave it at Fractions. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 16:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, it's been named as MS Font Specialty over at [[The Virus]] article. This causes another font contradiction. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 15:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

== Podcast missing! ==

The update involving adding the Podcast button to the Navbar at the bottom seems to be in effect in most pages, save this Virus email.

True, its due to Homestar's head taking some of the words, but I just thought I should point that out...
:Yeah, the same thing happened when the "[[Random Toon|rando]]" button was introduced. This toon doesn't use the normal navbar file. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

There is no such thing, even now. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 00:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
:Can't click [[for kids|"Stave it off"]] either. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 00:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Navbar ==

Since the navbar was updated since this cartoon has been made and the navbar moved around in this cartoon, the random and podcast buttons are missing. Is this worth noting? {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 17:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, that was pointed out above. Still, should it? {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 17:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Old New Intro

Jedibob5:

Ooer, Kilroy and I both thought to move that Halloween Fun Faqt from the inDEX page to the inTRO page at the same time :)
[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 22:12, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

I know, isn't that amazing? :D --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]] 22:12, 25 Sep 2004 (MST)

What is it that Homestar says at the end of this? It sounds like 'Everybody! Follow your leader! Everybody! Laddy da leda!"
:It's just "lah dee dah dee dah". --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
::I always thought it was "I be the leader!" since he's the star, but now that you mention it it it does sound like it's just singing. Of course, I don't see why Homestar would call himself a "leader." --[[User:Uh! Bob|<tt>'''''Úħ¡ βøв'''''</tt>]] 08:17, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)

Why does Homestar say "la dee dah de dah"? Why doesn't he just say "Everybody, Everybody" like how the song actually is?

I believe he says, "Everybody, Matt is our leader. Everybody, Matt is our leader," i.e., Matt Chapman is making his character refer to himself.

I always thought it was "Everybody! Everybo-dee-dah!" [[User:68.107.96.136|68.107.96.136]] 00:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I really don't think so, Homestar clearly says "la dee la dee dah", atleast that is in my opinion... That's pretty much what it sounds like.. i guess. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 23:01, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I read on Wikipedia that if you play the intro song backwards, you hear the kids singing "Viva Satan". Weird, huh? I tried it out myself, it's creepy. Yeah. {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 17:19, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Homfrog, could you give me the link to hear the intro backwards? Because it's hard to think that it says what it says backwards.---[[User:Ava|Ava]]

[http://vivasatan.ytmnd.com/ It's here!] There ya go. (Be's careful, it's a YTMND page)(but it'll work.) --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 11:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The last word has always sounded like "doh" to me, not another "dah".--[[User:24.255.185.53|24.255.185.53]] 19:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

== I know this is probably a coincidence... ==

Has anyone heard the song "That's Good" by Devo (from the 1982 album Oh, No! It's Devo)? 'Cause the "Everybody, everybody" of the Intro theme has the same rhythm as the lines "Everybody, it's a good thing" from the song I refer to. I know it's nothing truly notable, but I couldn't help but think of Homestar when I first heard the Devo song. Just a random comment.

* Now that I think about it, yeah. I think Homestar is more Devo than Strong Sad is.

-Alex H.

== Subliminal message ==

If you play the song backwards, it sounds like the kids are saying " We love satan, we love satan!"

thats true!

== Possible reference to Super Dave Osbourne ==

I just came to realize that the lights in this intro may be a reference to the Super Dave Osbourne show from 1987-1993. As I recall (can't find a clip to verify) the wall lit up to spell out SUPER DAVE prior to it being lifted and Super Dave walking on stage. --[[User:74.224.8.207|74.224.8.207]] 03:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

==Kids?==
*Does anyone know who were the kids who actually sang the intro are? [[User:Jedibob5|Jedibob5]] 17:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

A Homestar Runner Cartoon

"The House That Gave Sucky Treats"

Voices by Matt Chapman & Missy Palmer

Written, Directed and Animated by Los Brothers Chaps

''{Homestar's head pops up slowly, then lightning flashes and thunder cracks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. This year, we're going to do things a little differently. ''{scary voice, eyes slanted menacingly}'' We're all coming to your house to trick or treeeeat! ''{normal face and voice}'' So just answer the door, pick a treat, and drag it on top of us. We'll do the rest. ''{Pause}'' Okay, bye!

=== Coach Z ===
''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:''{rapping}'' Doot-doo-doot-doo, an' I'll drink up all the Hennessy ya got on your shelf, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Z. Pronounced with an "oach Z."

====Jujyfruits====
:Ooh, Jorjyfruits! Oh, I mean Jerjyfrorts. I mean, ''{straining}'' GEORGIE FRORGIE! ''{pause}'' George Foreman?

====Boston Baked Beans====
:Ya know, I once knew a fellow in Boston 'could tell ya the time of the day at any time of the day. Ya'd say, "Say there Boston, what's the time of day?" And he'd say, "10:30." And you'd look at him and say, "But Boston, it's half past noon!" And he'd look back at ya and say, "Well, those are the breaks."

====Cherry Clan====
:Da Cherry Clan. Are they related to the Wu-Tang Clan? 'Cause ya know, their first album was the ''BAERMB''! In fact, you don't have a copy of "The 36 Chambers" in there, do ya? 'Cause I'd love to listen to it right now! Ya mind if I come in?

=== The King Of Town ===
''{Rings the doorbell instead of knocking.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I'm horrible! ''{Strong Bad pokes his head out from the right of the screen and says, "You got that right."}''

====Butterscotch====
:Ooh, butterscotch! Would you mind melting those down and pouring them over a ham? ''{pulls out a [[ham]]}''

====Fun size Butterfinger====
:That's it?! Well, if you think that I'll accept this paltry treat just because it has "butter" in the name... well, you'd be right! Give it here!

====Stick of Butter====
:Ooh, a stick of butter! ''{noisily scarfs the stick of butter} {still with butter in his mouth}'' Trick or treat. Again? Please??

=== Strong Mad and The Cheat ===
''{Bangs on door, creating yellow bursts.}''

====Intro====
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''
:'''STRONG MAD:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING?

====Rock Candy====
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{staring at it, puzzled.}'' HALLOWEEN!

====Pop Rocks====
:''{The Cheat eats the Pop Rocks}''
:'''STRONG MAD:''' NO. NO! NOOO!!
:''{The Cheat takes a drink of cola}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{squealing The Cheat noises, head explodes}''

====Rocks====
:''{Strong Mad eats the rocks, then bites off half of a can of cola. The Cheat's head inexplicably explodes.}''

=== Marzipan ===
''{Also rings the doorbell.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Hey, ho! Let's go! Hey, ho! Trick or treat!

====Candy Corn====
:''Candy'' corn?? Do you have any real corn? Or Indian corn?

====Rice Cakes====
:Hey, rice cakes! I like to eat them without water.

====Steak====
:Is this a joke? It's not funny. ''{Strong Bad drops three more steaks into her bag with a grin on his face}''

=== The Poopsmith and Pom Pom ===
''{Knocks rapidly and softly.}''

{''They don't have an intro, as neither can really speak.''}

====Mary Jane====
:''{They look at each other, then The Poopsmith holds up a sign that says "Give us something good instead". Pom Pom laughs.}''

====Chick-O-Stick====
:''{The Poopsmith dunks it in a bucket labeled "dippin stuff", which looks suspiciously like [[whatsit]]. He offers it to Pom Pom, who shakes his head "no".}''

====Astropop====
:''{The Poopsmith shoots his gun at Pom Pom so it reflects off Pom Pom's "I ♥ Flint" button and his microphone and hits himself in the chest sensor. He falls off the side of the steps.}''

====Pumpkin====
:''{The "secret" music from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Zelda]] video game series plays. The pumpkin is firmly lodged in The Poopsmith's mouth. When the door closes, a pixelated caption reads "YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CHARACTER!"}''

=== Homsar ===
''{Knocks "[[Wikipedia:Shave and a Haircut|Shave and a Haircut]]".}''

''{This is an Easter egg, only accessible if you give The Poopsmith or Pom Pom the pumpkin.}''

====Intro====
:I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!

====Shavin' Creem====
:YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!

====Black and Orange Taffy====
:''(singing)'' If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit...

====Wrench====
:Oh no, I think this is my favorite!

=== Strong Bad ===
''{Instead of knocking or ringing, Strong Bad yells, "Open the freakin' door!"}''

====Intro====
:Where in the world is my candy?

====Fun Size Butterfinger====
:Oh, a "fun size" candy bar? Tell me this: what's fun about eating less candy? Maybe if you gave me an entire bag of them it would be fun. The only fun I'm going to have with this thing is smearing it all over your door when I leave. ''{If you choose this, the door is smeared with the Butterfinger when Strong Sad shows up.}''

====Marshmallow Bunny====
:Why you lazy crap for crap! All you've got is old freakin' Easter candy? This thing's rock hard, man! Well, you just made it onto my "People I gotta egg today" list. ''{He shows you the list:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#FFFF99;color:#000;width:25%">
People to egg 
(in no particular order) 
 
ronnie pudding 
 
king of town 
 
kewpie dan 
 
homestar 
 
you lazy crap for crap
</blockquote>

====Apple====
:What is ''this'' crap?!? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of ''hippie dentist''?

=== Strong Sad ===
''{Knocks softly.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I guess.

====Necco candy wafers====
:Oh, Necco Wafers. These remind me of when I used to eat the colored chalk when I was in school. I was sick for a year and nearly died...

====Baking Chocolate====
:''{a bit surprised and bounces slightly}'' Oh! Baking Chocolate! I used to eat this stuff when there was no chocolate in the house. And now, it's my only friend.

====Campbell's Soup====
:Oh. While I do appreciate the relevance of this, given my costume, I was kind of hoping for something that I wouldn't have to prepare. You know, like Necco Wafers or baking chocolate...

=== Bubs ===
''{Knocks "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]"}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Please, baby please, baby baby baby ''please''! Gimme some candy!

====Mallo Cup====
:''{singing}'' I got a shallow gup and a crallow nup, somebody give me dat Mallow Cup.

====Dum-Dums====
:Oh! ''{singing}'' I'm such a big dum-diddy-dum-diddy-diddy-diddy-dum-dum...ie.

====Bazooka Gum====
:I never understand the comics that come in this bubble gum. I mean, the first frame is some guy saying,''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you}'' "Look out, the sky is falling!" And the second frame is some guy getting hit on the head with a rock ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you again. The second frame is captioned "Fortune: The rock hit the guy in the sweater"}''. And I'm sitting there going, "What the heck just happened?", and before I know it, I swallowed my bubble gum!

=== Homestar Runner ===
''{Homestar continually knocks until you answer.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around, I never thought I could trick or tre-e-eat...

====Smarties====
:All right, Smarties! Marzipan said to eat lots of these this year. I'm not really sure why she said that though. ''{Crickets chirp, record scratches when Homestar breaks the silence.}'' Umm... trick or treat!

====Circus Peanuts====
:''{Dances and "doots" ''[[Wikipedia:Entrance of the Gladiators|Entrance of the Gladiators]]'' (known to most as a circus theme). You close the door, but Homestar rings the doorbell, and when you answer, he is still dancing and singing.}''

====Handful of Change====
:''{sounding slightly disappointed}'' Oh... a handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, um, buy some candy. So... thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

== Later that Night... ==

=== The Discussion ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad, I really like your costume. The Spanish Inquisition? That's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, for the last time, I'm not The Spanish Inquisition, I'm not Cab Calloway, and I'm not Strong Bad wearing a yellow turtleneck! I'm Carmen freakin' Sandiego!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like Cab Calloway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Poopsmith, that's the worst costume I ever saw. I mean, you're ''Lazer Tag''? What, are you supposed to be dressed up as the product or is it more abstract than that, like you're supposed to be the concept of Lazer Tag? Come on man, you know you just found that old crap in a trunk in your basement.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ease off, Strong Bad! He's not the one that dressed up as a ''girl'' two years in a row.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh ho ho ho, you asked for it, King.

''{Strong Mad punches The King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' Did any of you guys go to that house that was givin' out change? I changed my costume and went back ten times. I made 35 dollars!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you guys go to that house where they let you into this big room and there's all these people wearing black hoods and they ask you these questions about life and existence and if you answer them wrong you get eternal damnation, but if you answer them right you get a Twizzler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No.

'''COACH Z:''' Nope.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No.

'''BUBS:''' Nope.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NO.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Never mind.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Pom Pom, check out this funky bass groove! A doo'rear, a doo'ri, a doo'rear, a doo'ri! ''{Grooves around a little}''

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Have they voted yet? I really have to pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and the Poopsmith's not smelling any rosier, either.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, oh! I've got an idea! Let's totally freak 'em out. ''Let's repeat the stuff that we just saaaaid!''

''{loops back to the start of the discussion}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Strong Bad's egging list is up, click on "[[kewpie dan]]" to see.. something. (Note: although this egg appears to be glitched, it was intended to open [[HR:kewpiedan.html|this page]] in a new window.)
*When Pom Pom and the Poopsmith knock at your door, move the pumpkin that's sitting on your porch onto them to unlock Homsar. Homsar will only appear in the final scene if you unlock him, though he doesn't say anything.
*In the final scene when all of the characters are talking, you can roll over the skull, pumpkin and moon to see funny captions.
**Skull: Get offa me!
**Pumpkin: No costume. Just a pumpkin.
**Moon: Just pick a freakin' character already!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The length of this toon was originally listed as "?:??" on the Toons page, and now as 4 minutes.
**This is because you could sit there for hours on end doing ''no'' commands, and the length would be longer than 240 seconds.
*Marzipan's costume has a small hole in it and you can see her pink flesh beneath, giving further evidence to the theory that her body is actually skirt-shaped.
*Originally Coach Z's intro rap was: "Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I think I'll make ya fall right down on your face, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Hoodsey. Pronounced with an 'oodsey.'"
*This is the first instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].
*The Bazooka Joe comic you see when you give Bubs Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum originally came from an idea The Brothers Chaps thought up for a possible weekly feature. It was never released until they showed it at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|March 1st, 2005 NYU Talk]].
*This is the first toon to feature all the [[Characters#Main_characters|main characters]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|Weirded out.]]
*Giving The Cheat and Strong Mad [[Wikipedia:Pop Rocks|pop rocks]] shows you a rare glimpse of The Cheat's mouth open without his teeth being visible.
*Bubs's comment about the house that was giving out change is interesting; he went back ten times (making a total of 11 trips) and made $35, implying that the inhabitant was giving out a surprisingly generous $3.18 per trick-or-treater, on average.
*The only candy that shows up twice is the Fun Size [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]].
*Clicking "Back" takes you to [[Main Page 7]], the Halloween Main Page.
*Strong Bad is seen during the King of Town's segment as well as in Marzipan's reaction to steak, but he is not in costume in either one.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] didn't use the current style of animation on Strong Bad (his shadowed eyes), even though they used it in an earlier toon, [[A Mother's Day Message]].
*When The King of Town appears, Strong Bad has the new diamond but older eyes, and when he comes to the door, he is in his older style.

===Goofs===
*In the final scene where all of the characters are talking, Strong Bad's caption is misspelled: it should read "[[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]]," not "Carmen San Diego."
**Bubs's caption is also misspelled as "Mars Blackman" instead of "Mars Blackmon."
*When Homestar says, "We're coming to your house to twick or treat!", the bottom outline on his cap moves.
*When Strong Bad smears the Butterfinger bar on the door and Strong Sad shows up, the melted chocolate on the door disappears when the choices of candy show up.
*After Strong Bad yells "Open the freaking door!" you can hear a sound of a door opening even if you don't open the door.

===Glitches===
*The light switch can be moved up and down, but it doesn't do anything. You can flip the switch even while the door is opened, and if you leave the light switch down, it will automatically go back up when the next person knocks.
*When viewed in [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]], there are weird sounds related to the door opening and closing. They are always at the same place.
*After Strong Bad says, "Open the freakin' door!" we can hear the sound of the door opening.
*After Bubs says, "Gimme some candy!", the outline under his mouth vanishes, and the shading of his 'MARS' chain also changes.
*When Homestar is introducing the toon, the line between his head and hat and his eyes seem to move very slightly up and down.

===Inside References===
*The following are all references from the previous year's Halloween toon, [[Homestarloween Party]]:
**The music that plays when Homestar rises up at the start is the same one used when it was time for "Scary Flashlight Ghost Storytelling With a Flashlight".
**The skull and pumpkin are the same ones which served as the "play" button.
**Stuffing the pumpkin into the Poopsmith's mouth is a reference to when he was seen bobbing for pumpkins and holding them in his mouth.
**Marzipan noting at the end that "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year" refers to the fact that he had been uninvited by Marzipan the previous year.
**The King of Town's comment on Strong Bad dressing up as a girl for two years in a row refers to the previous Halloween toon where Strong Bad dressed up as [[Wikipedia:Carmen Miranda|Carmen Miranda]].
*Bubs's line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-Dum Pop]] is a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Strong Mad attempted almost the same prank greeting as in this toon on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]].
*Coach Z's rap is a reference to [[alcohol]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z raps a couple lines from [[Wikipedia:Digital Underground|Digital Underground's]] biggest hit song, "The Humpty Dance," substituting his own name for Humpty Hump's. The drink he mentions, [[Wikipedia:Hennessy|Hennessy]], is a brand of cognac, or brandy. Another line is used at the voting screen when Coach Z tells Pom Pom to "check out this bass groove right here."
*The joke involving The Cheat consuming Pop Rocks and soda is a reference to [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm an urban legend] that states that Mikey, the [[Wikipedia:Life (cereal)|Life cereal]] mascot, died when consuming Pop Rocks and soda caused his stomach to explode.
*When you drag the pumpkin onto Pom Pom and the Poopsmith, the music that is played is from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|''Legend of Zelda'' games]], usually when you unlock something (like blowing up a wall with a bomb, thus creating a door). The particular sound music they use in the toon is from "[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]", as you can hear the dungeon music after the sound plays.
*Ronnie Pudding, the first name on Strong Bad's list of houses to egg, is the name of [[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap's]] first bassist.
*Strong Bad greets you with "Where in the world is my candy?", a reference to the computer game and TV show "[[Wikipedia:List of Carmen Sandiego products#Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?|Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?]]" from which his costume comes.
*Strong Sad's comment on receiving the [[Wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell's soup]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] (whom Strong Sad is dressed as) series of paintings ''Campbell's Soup''.
*"Please baby, please baby, baby baby please" is a reference to Mars Blackmon's (whom Bubs is dressed up as) exact same line in [[imdb:tt0091939|She's Gotta Have It]].
*The skull's line at the end when you hold the mouse pointer over it ("Get offa me") is a quote from Murray, the Demonic Talking Skull from the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|''Monkey Island'']] games.
*Homsar's greeting is a play on [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy's]] famous line "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
*Marzipan's intro is "Hey, ho! Let's go!" from [[Wikipedia:The_Ramones|The Ramones']] 1976 hit, "Blitzkrieg Bop". This was also a reference/tribute to Joey's death earlier in 2001.
*Homestar's greeting is sung to the tune of (and is a play on) the theme song to the TV show [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].
*[[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] was a famous jazz bandleader and singer whose career spanned many years.
*Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the "[[Wikipedia:Spanish Inquisition|Spanish Inquisition]]" is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]] [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|sketch of the same name]] in which [[Wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]], [[Wikipedia:Terry Jones|Terry Jones]], and [[Wikipedia:Terry Gilliam|Terry Gilliam]] were dressed in similar costumes.
*The Poopsmith holding up a sign due to his inability to talk (or his vow of silence) is reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote of [[Wikipedia:Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes]] fame.
* The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is an obvious reference to the show "[[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]," where one character, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]], has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, Pikachu!"
* The subject line of the email when the Poopsmith is chosen for best costume, Teddy Poopspin, references [[Wikipedia:Teddy Ruxpin|Teddy Ruxpin]], a popular toy from the 80's made by Worlds of Wonder, the same company that made Lazer Tag.
* If you choose the King of Town for best costume, the subject line of the email is "King of Town, Now Sit Down." This is a reference to Sierra Online's [[Wikipedia: Quest for Glory|Quest for Glory]] (aka Hero's Quest), where the phrase "Hut of brown, now sit down" was used to gain access to Baba Yaga's magic hut.
* If you choose Strong Sad for best costume, the subject line of the email is "A vote for Strong Sad is a vote for America." This is a reference to 1984 Presidential Candidate Walter Mondale's Campaign slogan, which was "A vote for Walter Mondale is a vote for America." Mondale lost the election to Ronald Reagan in a landslide, winning only his home state (Minnesota) and the District of Columbia.


===Fast Forward===
*"Cheatachu" later became The Cheat's screen name in [[i she be]] and [[marzipan]].
*The music that was used as Homestar was rising would later be used in the Strong Bad Email [[theme park]] as background music for "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*"Your house" was later reused in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] where you could, once again, choose Coach Z's and Bubs's treats (and Stinkoman's, too).
*The phrase "Get offa me!" would later be said by a [[sticky note]] in the email [[vacation]].
*This toon started the [[Bubslegum Comics]].
*The jingle that Homsar sings when given candy sounds strangely like the jingle for [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]], in [[candy product]]
*The 2005 Halloween toon, [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], is also done in the style of a decision-making game, just like this Halloween toon.
*The result of the voting contest was finally revealed, 5 years after the toon's release, in [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*Bubs's door-knocking rhythm would become the same rhythm as used in Hip Hop Dance from [[New Boots]].
*The Cheat will again fully open his mouth in [[rough copy]].

== DVD Version ==
*The title and opening credits scene has been moved to after the first scene.
*Homestar does not ask the viewer to drag the treats on top of them.
*The doors open on their own.
*Coach Z no longer says "George Foreman?" when offered the Jujyfruits.
*The "unlocking" sound for Homsar is higher-pitched and cleaner.
*Homsar's lines for the shaving cream and wrench are inexplicably switched.
*Homsar appears in the ending whether he was unlocked or not.
*Marzipan adds "What's wrong with girls?" after Strong Mad punches The King of Town.
*Marzipan says "No" to Strong Sad's question just before Strong Sad replies.
*Homestar does not ask if the viewer has voted yet.
*As Homestar starts the repetition of the end scene, the scene fades out.
*If you wait too long without making a choice when Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are at the door, the Homsar scene is automatically unlocked.

A Homestar Runner Cartoon

"The House That Gave Sucky Treats"

Voices by Matt Chapman & Missy Palmer

Written, Directed and Animated by Los Brothers Chaps

''{Homestar's head pops up slowly, then lightning flashes and thunder cracks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. This year, we're going to do things a little differently. ''{scary voice, eyes slanted menacingly}'' We're all coming to your house to trick or treeeeat! ''{normal face and voice}'' So just answer the door, pick a treat, and drag it on top of us. We'll do the rest. ''{Pause}'' Okay, bye!

=== Coach Z ===
''{Knocks in a rhythm.}''

====Intro====
:''{rapping}'' Doot-doo-doot-doo, an' I'll drink up all the Hennessy ya got on your shelf, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Z. Pronounced with an "oach Z."

====Jujyfruits====
:Ooh, Jorjyfruits! Oh, I mean Jerjyfrorts. I mean, ''{straining}'' GEORGIE FRORGIE! ''{pause}'' George Foreman?

====Boston Baked Beans====
:Ya know, I once knew a fellow in Boston 'could tell ya the time of the day at any time of the day. Ya'd say, "Say there Boston, what's the time of day?" And he'd say, "10:30." And you'd look at him and say, "But Boston, it's half past noon!" And he'd look back at ya and say, "Well, those are the breaks."

====Cherry Clan====
:Da Cherry Clan. Are they related to the Wu-Tang Clan? 'Cause ya know, their first album was the ''BAERMB''! In fact, you don't have a copy of "The 36 Chambers" in there, do ya? 'Cause I'd love to listen to it right now! Ya mind if I come in?

=== The King Of Town ===
''{Rings the doorbell instead of knocking.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I'm horrible! ''{Strong Bad pokes his head out from the right of the screen and says, "You got that right."}''

====Butterscotch====
:Ooh, butterscotch! Would you mind melting those down and pouring them over a ham? ''{pulls out a [[ham]]}''

====Fun size Butterfinger====
:That's it?! Well, if you think that I'll accept this paltry treat just because it has "butter" in the name... well, you'd be right! Give it here!

====Stick of Butter====
:Ooh, a stick of butter! ''{noisily scarfs the stick of butter} {still with butter in his mouth}'' Trick or treat. Again? Please??

=== Strong Mad and The Cheat ===
''{Bangs on door, creating yellow bursts.}''

====Intro====
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''
:'''STRONG MAD:''' IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR PERRY RUNNING?

====Rock Candy====
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{staring at it, puzzled.}'' HALLOWEEN!

====Pop Rocks====
:''{The Cheat eats the Pop Rocks}''
:'''STRONG MAD:''' NO. NO! NOOO!!
:''{The Cheat takes a drink of cola}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{squealing The Cheat noises, head explodes}''

====Rocks====
:''{Strong Mad eats the rocks, then bites off half of a can of cola. The Cheat's head inexplicably explodes.}''

=== Marzipan ===
''{Also rings the doorbell.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Hey, ho! Let's go! Hey, ho! Trick or treat!

====Candy Corn====
:''Candy'' corn?? Do you have any real corn? Or Indian corn?

====Rice Cakes====
:Hey, rice cakes! I like to eat them without water.

====Steak====
:Is this a joke? It's not funny. ''{Strong Bad drops three more steaks into her bag with a grin on his face}''

=== The Poopsmith and Pom Pom ===
''{Knocks rapidly and softly.}''

{''They don't have an intro, as neither can really speak.''}

====Mary Jane====
:''{They look at each other, then The Poopsmith holds up a sign that says "Give us something good instead". Pom Pom laughs.}''

====Chick-O-Stick====
:''{The Poopsmith dunks it in a bucket labeled "dippin stuff", which looks suspiciously like [[whatsit]]. He offers it to Pom Pom, who shakes his head "no".}''

====Astropop====
:''{The Poopsmith shoots his gun at Pom Pom so it reflects off Pom Pom's "I ♥ Flint" button and his microphone and hits himself in the chest sensor. He falls off the side of the steps.}''

====Pumpkin====
:''{The "secret" music from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Zelda]] video game series plays. The pumpkin is firmly lodged in The Poopsmith's mouth. When the door closes, a pixelated caption reads "YOU UNLOCKED A SECRET CHARACTER!"}''

=== Homsar ===
''{Knocks "[[Wikipedia:Shave and a Haircut|Shave and a Haircut]]".}''

''{This is an Easter egg, only accessible if you give The Poopsmith or Pom Pom the pumpkin.}''

====Intro====
:I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!

====Shavin' Creem====
:YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!

====Black and Orange Taffy====
:''(singing)'' If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit...

====Wrench====
:Oh no, I think this is my favorite!

=== Strong Bad ===
''{Instead of knocking or ringing, Strong Bad yells, "Open the freakin' door!"}''

====Intro====
:Where in the world is my candy?

====Fun Size Butterfinger====
:Oh, a "fun size" candy bar? Tell me this: what's fun about eating less candy? Maybe if you gave me an entire bag of them it would be fun. The only fun I'm going to have with this thing is smearing it all over your door when I leave. ''{If you choose this, the door is smeared with the Butterfinger when Strong Sad shows up.}''

====Marshmallow Bunny====
:Why you lazy crap for crap! All you've got is old freakin' Easter candy? This thing's rock hard, man! Well, you just made it onto my "People I gotta egg today" list. ''{He shows you the list:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none;border:2px solid black;background:#FFFF99;color:#000;width:25%">
People to egg 
(in no particular order) 
 
ronnie pudding 
 
king of town 
 
kewpie dan 
 
homestar 
 
you lazy crap for crap
</blockquote>

====Apple====
:What is ''this'' crap?!? What are you, a dentist? Or a hippie? Or some kind of ''hippie dentist''?

=== Strong Sad ===
''{Knocks softly.}''

====Intro====
:Trick or treat, I guess.

====Necco candy wafers====
:Oh, Necco Wafers. These remind me of when I used to eat the colored chalk when I was in school. I was sick for a year and nearly died...

====Baking Chocolate====
:''{a bit surprised and bounces slightly}'' Oh! Baking Chocolate! I used to eat this stuff when there was no chocolate in the house. And now, it's my only friend.

====Campbell's Soup====
:Oh. While I do appreciate the relevance of this, given my costume, I was kind of hoping for something that I wouldn't have to prepare. You know, like Necco Wafers or baking chocolate...

=== Bubs ===
''{Knocks "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]"}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Please, baby please, baby baby baby ''please''! Gimme some candy!

====Mallo Cup====
:''{singing}'' I got a shallow gup and a crallow nup, somebody give me dat Mallow Cup.

====Dum-Dums====
:Oh! ''{singing}'' I'm such a big dum-diddy-dum-diddy-diddy-diddy-dum-dum...ie.

====Bazooka Gum====
:I never understand the comics that come in this bubble gum. I mean, the first frame is some guy saying,''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you}'' "Look out, the sky is falling!" And the second frame is some guy getting hit on the head with a rock ''{he unfolds the comic and shows it to you again. The second frame is captioned "Fortune: The rock hit the guy in the sweater"}''. And I'm sitting there going, "What the heck just happened?", and before I know it, I swallowed my bubble gum!

=== Homestar Runner ===
''{Homestar continually knocks until you answer.}''

====Intro====
:''{singing}'' Believe it or not, I'm walkin' around, I never thought I could trick or tre-e-eat...

====Smarties====
:All right, Smarties! Marzipan said to eat lots of these this year. I'm not really sure why she said that though. ''{Crickets chirp, record scratches when Homestar breaks the silence.}'' Umm... trick or treat!

====Circus Peanuts====
:''{Dances and "doots" ''[[Wikipedia:Entrance of the Gladiators|Entrance of the Gladiators]]'' (known to most as a circus theme). You close the door, but Homestar rings the doorbell, and when you answer, he is still dancing and singing.}''

====Handful of Change====
:''{sounding slightly disappointed}'' Oh... a handful of change. I guess I can use this to go, um, buy some candy. So... thank you for adding a step to my Halloween process.

== Later that Night... ==

=== The Discussion ===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad, I really like your costume. The Spanish Inquisition? That's great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, for the last time, I'm not The Spanish Inquisition, I'm not Cab Calloway, and I'm not Strong Bad wearing a yellow turtleneck! I'm Carmen freakin' Sandiego!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like Cab Calloway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Poopsmith, that's the worst costume I ever saw. I mean, you're ''Lazer Tag''? What, are you supposed to be dressed up as the product or is it more abstract than that, like you're supposed to be the concept of Lazer Tag? Come on man, you know you just found that old crap in a trunk in your basement.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ease off, Strong Bad! He's not the one that dressed up as a ''girl'' two years in a row.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh ho ho ho, you asked for it, King.

''{Strong Mad punches The King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' Did any of you guys go to that house that was givin' out change? I changed my costume and went back ten times. I made 35 dollars!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you guys go to that house where they let you into this big room and there's all these people wearing black hoods and they ask you these questions about life and existence and if you answer them wrong you get eternal damnation, but if you answer them right you get a Twizzler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No.

'''COACH Z:''' Nope.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No.

'''BUBS:''' Nope.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NO.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Never mind.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Pom Pom, check out this funky bass groove! A doo'rear, a doo'ri, a doo'rear, a doo'ri! ''{Grooves around a little}''

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Have they voted yet? I really have to pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and the Poopsmith's not smelling any rosier, either.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, oh! I've got an idea! Let's totally freak 'em out. ''Let's repeat the stuff that we just saaaaid!''

''{loops back to the start of the discussion}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Strong Bad's egging list is up, click on "[[kewpie dan]]" to see.. something. (Note: although this egg appears to be glitched, it was intended to open [[HR:kewpiedan.html|this page]] in a new window.)
*When Pom Pom and the Poopsmith knock at your door, move the pumpkin that's sitting on your porch onto them to unlock Homsar. Homsar will only appear in the final scene if you unlock him, though he doesn't say anything.
*In the final scene when all of the characters are talking, you can roll over the skull, pumpkin and moon to see funny captions.
**Skull: Get offa me!
**Pumpkin: No costume. Just a pumpkin.
**Moon: Just pick a freakin' character already!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The length of this toon was originally listed as "?:??" on the Toons page, and now as 4 minutes.
**This is because you could sit there for hours on end doing ''no'' commands, and the length would be longer than 240 seconds.
*Marzipan's costume has a small hole in it and you can see her pink flesh beneath, giving further evidence to the theory that her body is actually skirt-shaped.
*Originally Coach Z's intro rap was: "Doot-doo-doot-doo, and I think I'll make ya fall right down on your face, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Hoodsey. Pronounced with an 'oodsey.'"
*This is the first instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].
*The Bazooka Joe comic you see when you give Bubs Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum originally came from an idea The Brothers Chaps thought up for a possible weekly feature. It was never released until they showed it at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|March 1st, 2005 NYU Talk]].
*This is the first toon to feature all the [[Characters#Main_characters|main characters]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdedoutthecheat.PNG|thumb|Weirded out.]]
*Giving The Cheat and Strong Mad [[Wikipedia:Pop Rocks|pop rocks]] shows you a rare glimpse of The Cheat's mouth open without his teeth being visible.
*Bubs's comment about the house that was giving out change is interesting; he went back ten times (making a total of 11 trips) and made $35, implying that the inhabitant was giving out a surprisingly generous $3.18 per trick-or-treater, on average.
*The only candy that shows up twice is the Fun Size [[Wikipedia:Butterfinger|Butterfinger]].
*Clicking "Back" takes you to [[Main Page 7]], the Halloween Main Page.
*Strong Bad is seen during the King of Town's segment as well as in Marzipan's reaction to steak, but he is not in costume in either one.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] didn't use the current style of animation on Strong Bad (his shadowed eyes), even though they used it in an earlier toon, [[A Mother's Day Message]].
*When The King of Town appears, Strong Bad has the new diamond but older eyes, and when he comes to the door, he is in his older style.

===Goofs===
*In the final scene where all of the characters are talking, Strong Bad's caption is misspelled: it should read "[[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]]," not "Carmen San Diego."
**Bubs's caption is also misspelled as "Mars Blackman" instead of "Mars Blackmon."
*When Homestar says, "We're coming to your house to twick or treat!", the bottom outline on his cap moves.
*When Strong Bad smears the Butterfinger bar on the door and Strong Sad shows up, the melted chocolate on the door disappears when the choices of candy show up.
*After Strong Bad yells "Open the Freaking Door!" you can hear a sound of a door opening even if you don't open the door.

===Glitches===
*The light switch can be moved up and down, but it doesn't do anything. You can flip the switch even while the door is opened, and if you leave the light switch down, it will automatically go back up when the next person knocks.
*When viewed in [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]], there are weird sounds related to the door opening and closing. They are always at the same place.
*After Strong Bad says, "Open the freakin' door!" we can hear the sound of the door opening.
*After Bubs says, "Gimme some candy!", the outline under his mouth vanishes, and the shading of his 'MARS' chain also changes.
*When Homestar is introducing the toon, the line between his head and hat and his eyes seem to move very slightly up and down.

===Inside References===
*The following are all references from the previous year's Halloween toon, [[Homestarloween Party]]:
**The music that plays when Homestar rises up at the start is the same one used when it was time for "Scary Flashlight Ghost Storytelling With a Flashlight".
**The skull and pumpkin are the same ones which served as the "play" button.
**Stuffing the pumpkin into the Poopsmith's mouth is a reference to when he was seen bobbing for pumpkins and holding them in his mouth.
**Marzipan noting at the end that "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year" refers to the fact that he had been uninvited by Marzipan the previous year.
**The King of Town's comment on Strong Bad dressing up as a girl for two years in a row refers to the previous Halloween toon where Strong Bad dressed up as [[Wikipedia:Carmen Miranda|Carmen Miranda]].
*Bubs's line when you give him the [[Wikipedia:Dum Dum Pop|Dum-Dum Pop]] is a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Strong Mad attempted almost the same prank greeting as in this toon on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]].
*Coach Z's rap is a reference to [[alcohol]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z raps a couple lines from [[Wikipedia:Digital Underground|Digital Underground's]] biggest hit song, "The Humpty Dance," substituting his own name for Humpty Hump's. The drink he mentions, [[Wikipedia:Hennessy|Hennessy]], is a brand of cognac, or brandy. Another line is used at the voting screen when Coach Z tells Pom Pom to "check out this bass groove right here."
*The joke involving The Cheat consuming Pop Rocks and soda is a reference to [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm an urban legend] that states that Mikey, the [[Wikipedia:Life (cereal)|Life cereal]] mascot, died when consuming Pop Rocks and soda caused his stomach to explode.
*When you drag the pumpkin onto Pom Pom and the Poopsmith, the music that is played is from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|''Legend of Zelda'' games]], usually when you unlock something (like blowing up a wall with a bomb, thus creating a door). The particular sound music they use in the toon is from "[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]", as you can hear the dungeon music after the sound plays.
*Ronnie Pudding, the first name on Strong Bad's list of houses to egg, is the name of [[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap's]] first bassist.
*Strong Bad greets you with "Where in the world is my candy?", a reference to the computer game and TV show "[[Wikipedia:List of Carmen Sandiego products#Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?|Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?]]" from which his costume comes.
*Strong Sad's comment on receiving the [[Wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell's soup]] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] (whom Strong Sad is dressed as) series of paintings ''Campbell's Soup''.
*"Please baby, please baby, baby baby please" is a reference to Mars Blackmon's (whom Bubs is dressed up as) exact same line in [[imdb:tt0091939|She's Gotta Have It]].
*The skull's line at the end when you hold the mouse pointer over it ("Get offa me") is a quote from Murray, the Demonic Talking Skull from the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|''Monkey Island'']] games.
*Homsar's greeting is a play on [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy's]] famous line "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
*Marzipan's intro is "Hey, ho! Let's go!" from [[Wikipedia:The_Ramones|The Ramones']] 1976 hit, "Blitzkrieg Bop". This was also a reference/tribute to Joey's death earlier in 2001.
*Homestar's greeting is sung to the tune of (and is a play on) the theme song to the TV show [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].
*[[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] was a famous jazz bandleader and singer whose career spanned many years.
*Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the "[[Wikipedia:Spanish Inquisition|Spanish Inquisition]]" is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]] [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|sketch of the same name]] in which [[Wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]], [[Wikipedia:Terry Jones|Terry Jones]], and [[Wikipedia:Terry Gilliam|Terry Gilliam]] were dressed in similar costumes.
*The Poopsmith holding up a sign due to his inability to talk (or his vow of silence) is reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote of [[Wikipedia:Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes]] fame.
* The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is an obvious reference to the show "[[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]," where one character, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash]], has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, Pikachu!"
* The subject line of the email when the Poopsmith is chosen for best costume, Teddy Poopspin, references [[Wikipedia:Teddy Ruxpin|Teddy Ruxpin]], a popular toy from the 80's made by Worlds of Wonder, the same company that made Lazer Tag.
* If you choose the King of Town for best costume, the subject line of the email is "King of Town, Now Sit Down." This is a reference to Sierra Online's [[Wikipedia: Quest for Glory|Quest for Glory]] (aka Hero's Quest), where the phrase "Hut of brown, now sit down" was used to gain access to Baba Yaga's magic hut.
* If you choose Strong Sad for best costume, the subject line of the email is "A vote for Strong Sad is a vote for America." This is a reference to 1984 Presidential Candidate Walter Mondale's Campaign slogan, which was "A vote for Walter Mondale is a vote for America." Mondale lost the election to Ronald Reagan in a landslide, winning only his home state (Minnesota) and the District of Columbia.


===Fast Forward===
*"Cheatachu" later became The Cheat's screen name in [[i she be]] and [[marzipan]].
*The music that was used as Homestar was rising would later be used in the Strong Bad Email [[theme park]] as background music for "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*"Your house" was later reused in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] where you could, once again, choose Coach Z's and Bubs's treats (and Stinkoman's, too).
*The phrase "Get offa me!" would later be said by a [[sticky note]] in the email [[vacation]].
*This toon started the [[Bubslegum Comics]].
*The jingle that Homsar sings when given candy sounds strangely like the jingle for [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]], in [[candy product]]
*The 2005 Halloween toon, [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], is also done in the style of a decision-making game, just like this Halloween toon.
*The result of the voting contest was finally revealed, 5 years after the toon's release, in [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*Bubs's door-knocking rhythm would become the same rhythm as used in Hip Hop Dance from [[New Boots]].
*The Cheat will again fully open his mouth in [[rough copy]].

== DVD Version ==
*The title and opening credits scene has been moved to after the first scene.
*Homestar does not ask the viewer to drag the treats on top of them.
*The doors open on their own.
*Coach Z no longer says "George Foreman?" when offered the Jujyfruits.
*The "unlocking" sound for Homsar is higher-pitched and cleaner.
*Homsar's lines for the shaving cream and wrench are inexplicably switched.
*Homsar appears in the ending whether he was unlocked or not.
*Marzipan adds "What's wrong with girls?" after Strong Mad punches The King of Town.
*Marzipan says "No" to Strong Sad's question just before Strong Sad replies.
*Homestar does not ask if the viewer has voted yet.
*As Homestar starts the repetition of the end scene, the scene fades out.
*If you wait too long without making a choice when Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are at the door, the Homsar scene is automatically unlocked.

{{aboutcharacter}} {{forgame|Stinkoman 20X6}}

[[Image:stinkoman20X6normal.PNG|left|Looking for challenge]]
'''Stinkoman''' (also spelled '''Stinko Man''') is [[Strong Bad]]'s [[20X6]] counterpart. He is an amalgam of [[Wikipedia:Anime|anime]] clichés, including blue hair, big eyes, a blocky sort of body, a mouth that doesn't move along with his speech, and an obsession with [[challenge]]s and fighting. He was introduced on January 6, 2003 in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[japanese cartoon]], which makes his birthday fall exactly one week before [[dragon|Trogdor]]'s. Even before the introduction of the Stinkoman character, his name was mentioned in [[island]] when [[Homestar Runner]] calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman". Stinkoman also stars in the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]], which [[The Brothers Chaps]] introduced in the [[NYU_Talk_-_1_Mar_2005|NYU Talk]] and later released on [[homestarrunner.com]].

Stinko Man's theme song, which accompanied most of his early appearances and featured neo-Japanese lyrics (actually the words "Challenge" and "Fighting" repeated as if spoken by a Japanese person) was actually a background tune from a NES racing game [[wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]].

Stinkoman employs technology to arrange, engage in, and practice for his challenges. He has a [[cell phone]] which he uses to challenge [[Marzipan]] in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]], and when the distance to his foes is too far, he whistles for the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters#Stinkowing|Stinkowing]] for transportation. According to [[alternate universe]], Stinkoman uses his friend [[Vector Strong Bad]] as his "training simulator", but when he's not preparing for upcoming challenges, he relaxes by playing the [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] at [[Stinkoman Headquarters]]. Stinkoman's favorite foods appear to be chicken soup, [[bread]], power crunches, pudding, and [[prawns]], as seen in Stinkoman 20X6.

[[Image:Mega Man & Stinkoman.PNG|thumb|220px|Stinkoman vs. Mega Man]]
Various facets of Stinkoman's persona refer specifically to characters in real-world popular culture. In particular, Stinkoman is very similar in build to the NES incarnation of [[Wikipedia:Mega Man (character)|Mega Man]], who also had blue hair at one point. In fact, Stinkoman's sprite in ''Stinkoman 20X6'' is a modified version of the original Mega Man sprite.

Stinkoman's lines, "Are you asking for a challenge?!" and "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older" are very similar in both content and intonation to messages spoken by the ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man 8|Mega Man 8]]'' boss Tengu Man: "Are you worthy of my challenge?" and "It's just a kid, don't make me laugh!" The line "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older!" is also used several times (depending on translation) in the anime movie ''[[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|Akira]]''. The 20X6 and ''Akira'' connection appears again in an Easter egg in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
[[Image:StinkomanPlussign.png|thumb|right|150px|"plus sign - endowed grill"]]

When Stinkoman grits his teeth, [[Wikipedia:Plus and minus signs|plus signs (+)]] make up the cracks between them. The character [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]] in the original [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (video game)|''Donkey Kong'' arcade game]] was also depicted with plus signs to indicate the separate teeth in his mouth. Finally, Stinkoman has worn the [[Halloween Costumes|costume]] of another Japanese cartoon character, [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]], as seen in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].

Stinkoman seems to have a strange habit of eating dirt, such as when he finds the time capsule in the sbemail, [[time capsule]], and in [[under construction]], where he tastes what he thinks is dirt even thoughit turns out to be [[pudding]].

{{mainnav|23|22|24}}
[[Image:main_page_23.PNG|220px|thumb|"Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!"]]

Behind the set of a main page. Nearly everything is flipped around, since we're seeing it from the back, and ink marks where all the buttons are.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, [[Homestar Runner]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Place:''' [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Plank of wood

'''Page title:''' "Backstage Pass!"

'''Date:''' September 19, 2005

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Coach Z pops up with a [[clapperboard]] and says, "Main Page number tworty-tree, take one, action!" Homestar delays saying "Toons" until after he's gone.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — A piece of wood wiggles loose and falls off of the set, striking Homestar on the head. Homestar replies with "Oof!" It reappears where it was after a few seconds.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — On the first mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!" while facing away from the user. On the second mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the back of my head!" while facing toward the user. Subsequent mouse-overs alternate between the two.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — The Cheat falls in front of Homestar, facing him and the user, makes a few The Cheat noises and walks off.
*'''[[Store]]''' — Another Homestar walks in front of Homestar and says (in his modern voice) "'Sup, man?" Homestar replies (in the older voice that's still used for the main pages) "'Sup?" 
*'''[[Email]]''' — A piece of wood, presumably painted with Strong Sad's head on the opposite side, is pulled across the screen by two strings with the words "[[Wear a Bikini!]]" written on the back of it. From off screen Strong Sad holds up [[Strong Sad's Tape Player|his tape player]] into view and presses "Play," causing it to say (in Strong Sad's voice) "I'm the floating head of dooooom!"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
* This is the second main page (after [[Main Page 12]]) where we see Homestar from behind.
* This is the second time the words are delayed, after [[Main Page 19]].

===Remarks===
*Coach Z says "action" while still holding up the clapperboard; he's still in the shot when Homestar delivers his line. Additionally, the director (or assistant director) who says "action" hardly ever slates the clapperboard.
*The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.
*The reversed joke was only taken so far. As such, the Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].
**Likewise, the numerical order of the home pages is not reversed, just right-justified.
*This is the only Main Page to refer to them as the compound word "homepages" instead of "home pages."
*This is another instance of [[twin characters]].

===Goofs===
* Although the part of the characters button where the "s" would be is partly sticking out, the characters buttons on other main pages don't stick out at all.
* The portions of the first three buttons that are sticking out of the wood are not clickable.
* The piece of wood that falls on Homestar's head falls from the back of the set, but Homestar is standing in front of it.
*On the Toons Button, Coach Z has no face.

===Fixed Goofs===
*The copyright date read "2000-2005" well into 2007. It was updated on or around the time [[Main Page 24]] was added.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Real baby lady glitch.PNG|thumb|250px|Not great for baby.]]
* If you hold down the tab button on this menu, several hidden items become highlighted. You cannot click on them with your mouse, but you can select them by pressing enter.
** To the left of the visible recent updates button is another recent updated button.
*** There is yet another recent updates button where the recent updates button normally is.
** There is another [[First Time Here?]] button on the left side located where the First Time Here? button normally is ''relative to'' the recent updates button.
*** There is yet another First Time Here? button off the right edge of where it normally is.
** The leftmost side of the Flash File has another set of Weeklies (Random, Quote, Sketchbook, Fan) buttons.
* If you scroll over "store" and then "downloads" right when the second Homestar gets to the middle, The Cheat falls behind Homestar even though perspective makes it look like Homestar is farther away.
* From March 16, 2006 and onwards, you were able to download [[disconnected|"Support the Municipality"]] desktop wallpaper via the Latest Updates bubble on the Main Pages. On this particular Main Page however, although you could have still clicked on the link, it wouldn't let you download the wallpaper.
**Similarly, the [[Main Page Message]] announcing the launch of [[Viidelectrix]] on January 28, 2007 was clickable, but did not pop up the message that should have been displayed.
**As well, from July 2, 2007 and onwards, the [[H*R.com updates 2007#Monday, July 2, 2007|baby lady message]] would be just a small black triangle in the top-left corner.

Main Page Glitches

2007-08-02T12:21:29Z

Jedibob5: /* Glitches */

[[Image:Main Pages Glitch.PNG|thumb|Main Page Glitch]]

Occasionally, the [[Main Pages]] can produce some odd '''glitches''' by clicking and holding down a button, and then dragging off them. This is due to the limits of the [[Macromedia Flash]] software. Specifically, any image or animation that only appears while the cursor stays over a button remains if you click the left mouse button and hold it down, then drag the cursor away from the Main Page button, and let go.

This is a list of oddities and inconsistencies in the Main Pages caused by this glitch. In the list below, "&" is used if it doesn't matter which is done first and "→" if they must be done in order.

[[Image:Main6.PNG|220px|thumb|"Keep on knockin' on Heaven's door..."]]

Homestar Runner is an angel in [[Heaven]].

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

'''Places:''' Heaven

'''Icon:''' Lyre

'''Page title:''' "Homestar Runner must be dead!"

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' - Homestar plays a lyre.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' - A green, scaly, clawed hand, surrounded by fire, reaches up through the clouds and a roar is heard.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' - Three planes from an air show fly by, trailing red, white and blue streaks.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' - Homestar plays the lyre again, but a string breaks.
*'''[[Store]]''' - One of the planes crashes through the clouds.
*'''[[Email]]''' - Strong Bad walks by singing, "Keep on knockin' on Heaven's door." He then falls through the clouds and yells, "[[Crap|Holy crap]]!!!"

== Fun Facts ==

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's animation is improperly lip-synced: He shouts "Holy crap!" a few seconds before he begins falling through the clouds.
*When Strong Bad is singing, his mouth doesn't move.
*If you roll over the Email button twice, the animation will start over, but the sound will remain and overlap a second instance of itself.

===Fixed Goofs===
*If you rolled over Email and Games at the same time, a white square overlapping Strong Bad was visible, where the frame of the demon's hand is. This was later corrected, although the white square is still visible.

===Real-World References===
*The song Strong Bad is singing is [[Wikipedia:Knockin' on Heaven's Door|"Knocking On Heaven's Door,"]] a classic song by [[Wikipedia:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]].
*The three planes are probably [[Wikipedia:F/A-18 Hornet|F/A-18 Super Hornets]], the jets used by the U.S. Navy's [[Wikipedia:Blue Angels|Blue Angels]].
