'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! ''{presses enter}'' ''{singing}'' Da-doot doot doot Dear, Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering{{--}}''{stops singing}'' Ahhh, I can't keep this up.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: portrait</div>
Dear Strong Bad- 
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
paint a portrait of  your greatness. 
guess what, it's- 
Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)  I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad, in a long-haired wig, a beret, and a toga, holding a toy stick with a duck's head on the end. The painting is in a gold frame, with a museum placard beside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top, wearing a black mask, skullcap, and a t-shirt reading "4rt b4ndit". He places a stencil over the painting and paints a "robotank", along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK", in pink spray paint.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thanks, little buddy! Now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{obliging The Cheat noises; salutes}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a black-and-white newspaper. An image of Strong Bad in a suit and tie and holding a large cell phone is in the center.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines! Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse code. ''{imitating Morse code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I a-am ho-o-olding a real-ly ol-d cel-l-l pho-o-one.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased{{--}}

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for{{--}}Whoa!{{--}}

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a [[:Image:Trailer pony.PNG|poster of a unicorn on a snowmobile with the caption "Born to be danged!!!"]]. Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One#coice|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen and in a groggy voice}'' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing a relief-bust of Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Classical music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. A sticker on the left side reads "Great Thyme". Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee!

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{slams the glitter down}'' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a wooden cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man's abdominal muscles are in the shape of the letters "SB", and he is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from ''{pronounced "way I'm fum"}'', and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical keyswordtar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Deutschmaster.PNG|thumb|"Strong Badman and Deutschman are both finished!!!"]]
*Click the white card beside the portrait by the Deutsch Master to see an "Adventures of [[Strong Badman]]" comic book. A "Deutsch Master" holding a paintbrush is silhouetted, standing over Strong Badman and Deutschman, who are both lying wounded on a pile of rubble.<blockquote>Enter... The Deutsch Master "Strong Badman and Deutschman are both '''finished!!!'''"</blockquote>
*Click the keyswordtar at the end to see a [[printable]] version of the robotank stencil The Cheat used to vandalize the painting.
*Click [[Lord Quackingstick]] at the end to see Strong Bad show off his keyswordtar to Homestar.
:''{Cut to The Field with Homestar and Strong Bad holding the keyswordtar, his head still in the hole, although it has been broken off from the rest of the portrait.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so that's when I realized I don't even need Lamaze classes.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, there's something different about you. Did you get a haircut?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but I did get this new keyswordtar. ''{imitates guitar riff, waves the keyswordtar around}'' Maow, maow, maoooooooow. ''{falsetto}'' Keyboard, keyboooooard. ''{normal}'' Maow, maow, maooooooooow. ''{falsetto}'' Fight some brigands!! ''{Homestar holds up a [[BMW Lighter|SAAB lighter]], Strong Bad's voice returns to normal}'' Maow Maow, Maoooow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-owwowwoww-whammy-barrrrruh.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* ''Deutsch'' is the [[German]] word for "German", but Strong Bad uses it as a play on ''Dutch''. (The similarity in sound has led to confusion about terms such as [[Wikipedia:Pennsylvania Dutch|Pennsylvania Dutch]], who are actually of German descent.) "Dutch masters" is a general term for the famous Dutch artists of the 17th century, such as [[Wikipedia:Rembrandt|Rembrandt]] and [[Wikipedia:Vermeer|Vermeer]].
*[[Wikipedia:Falconry|Falconry]] is the art or sport of training raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game.
*[[Wikipedia:Lamaze|Lamaze]] is a relaxation technique designed to avoid the use of pain-killing drugs during childbirth.
*A [[Wikipedia:Tremolo arm|whammy bar]] is a lever mounted to the bridge of a guitar and is used to bend the notes up or down.
*[[Thyme]] is the herb depicted on Strong Mad's "Great Thyme" sticker.
*The painting of Strong Bad described as "looking like Morse Code" is a reference to the Wall Street Journal's use of [[Wikipedia: Hedcut|hedcuts]].

===Trivia===
*This email was sent in by wiki user [[User:NachoMan|NachoMan]].
*This email was released late Sunday night Atlanta time, but the website claimed that its release date was on Monday.
*The card next to the first portrait reads:

*If pronounced with all the umlauts Strong Bad had inserted, "True Master" would be pronounced TREU MEH-ster.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad tells "Coolio da Fabio" to "quit making up nicknames for yourself". However, in [[english paper]], he actually recommends it, saying "it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit."
**Additionally, an Easter egg in [[retirement]] shows a list of nicknames Strong Bad made up for himself.
*Homestar's lighter in the keyswordtar Easter egg is a [[Wikipedia:Saab|Saab]] lighter, in contrast to Strong Bad's [[BMW lighter]].
*The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
*Strong Bad's comment about "a useless Master of Fine Arts Degree" is a self-reference to [[Mike Chapman]]. Mike has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and, according to the [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview]], dropped out of graduate school because he felt that his photographic style was not commercially viable.
*The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
*In the scene where Strong Bad says "How did I get into this thing?", [[Lord Quackingstick]] is not there.
*The "really old cell phone" resembles the walkie-talkies from [[lunch special]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad mistypes his line "Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" The period should be outside the parentheses; Strong Bad types it inside.
*In the Easter egg, when Strong Bad is moving the wooden cutout of the keyswordtar around, the picture reverses direction.
*In the picture of Strong Bad holding the old cell phone, his arm is longer than usual.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's line "Thanks for breaking my moose lamp" is a reference to [[caper]], where he thanked Strong Bad and The Cheat for breaking his [[cow lamp]].
*The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnawing]] pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
*Strong Bad has a similar blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad Main Page]].
*The [[School Paste]] in Strong Mad's room was first seen in [[Strong Sad's room]] in the Email [[depressio]].
*The tune that Strong Bad uses to sing the opening lines of the email is very similar to the background music of [[Fall Float Parade]].
*Strong Mad's box of "TendaRONi" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].
*The extra [[Wikipedia:Heavy metal umlaut|umlauts]] in "Trüe Mästers" mirror those in "Witches' Brüe" from [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*[[Wikipedia:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] [[stew]], a kind of soup from [[Indian Food|India]], also appeared in the [[Experimental Film#Commentary Transcript 2|DVD commentary for Experimental Film]].
**Also within the article, a [[sweet deal]] is mentioned.
*Deutschman, one of the characters on the [[Strong Badman]] comic cover, was created in [[haircut]].
*Keyswordtar is a [[portmanteau]] of "sword" and "[[Wikipedia:Keytar|keytar]]" (which, in itself, is a portmanteau of keyboard and guitar).
*Strong Bad rejects the idea of hiring a kindergartner to make him a [[macaroni]] picture, because he would probably go to [[prison|jail]].

===Real-World References===
*"TendaRONi" is a reference to the term "tenderoni" which has appeared in [[Wikipedia:Tenderoni#In_popular_music|quite a number of songs]] as slang for a young female love interest, most famously "[[Wikipedia:Roni (song)|Roni]]" by Bobby Brown and "[[Wikipedia:P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)|P.Y.T.]]" by Michael Jackson. This, in turn, is named after a real boxed pasta product that was discontinued in 1981.
*The Rad Rad Robotank is likely a double-reference to [[Transformers]] and the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Newgrounds_logo.svg Newgrounds.com logo]. The fact that it appears as a stencil is possibly a jab at Newgrounds' tendency to encourage people to place their [http://www.newgrounds.com/stickers/ promotional stickers] everywhere. It is also a reference to a British artist, [[Wikipedia:Banksy|Banksy]], who uses stencils and has also produced paintings which consist of modified forms of existing works of art.
*The black-and-white portrait of Strong Bad is a "[[Wikipedia:Hedcut|hedcut]]", a type of drawing [http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/journal/ developed by] and used in ''[[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]]'' (which is probably the "rich-guy newspaper" he was referring to).
*[[Wikipedia:Chef Boyardee|Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
*Homestar holds up a [[Wikipedia:Saab Automobile|Saab]] lighter during the Easter egg with Strong Bad.

===Fast Forward===
*The trailer with the black light poster of the unicorn is later revealed to be the one that [[Secret Identities|Vance Mudgeman]]'s family lives in in [[secret identity]].
*The Cheat's spray paint design later appears in the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five#FBI Warning|FBI warning]] for [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]].
*In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Bad again refers to Dutch Masters, wondering why they never did wood burning art.

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to figure what art style is most worthy of his visage."
*The Lord Quackingstick Easter egg plays automatically at the end.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: portrait</div>
Dear Strong Bad- 
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
paint a portrait of  your greatness. 
guess what, it's- 
Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)  I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad, in a long-haired wig, a beret, and a toga, holding a toy stick with a duck's head on the end. The painting is in a gold frame, with a museum placard beside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top, wearing a black mask, skullcap, and a t-shirt reading "4rt b4ndit". He places a stencil over the painting and paints a "robotank", along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK", in pink spray paint.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thanks, little buddy! Now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{obliging The Cheat noises; salutes}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a black-and-white newspaper. An image of Strong Bad in a suit and tie and holding a large cell phone is in the center.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines! Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse code. ''{imitating Morse code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I a-am ho-o-olding a real-ly ol-d cel-l-l pho-o-one.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased{{--}}

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for{{--}}Whoa!{{--}}

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a [[:Image:Trailer pony.PNG|poster of a unicorn on a snowmobile with the caption "Born to be danged!!!"]]. Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One#coice|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen and in a groggy voice}'' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing a relief-bust of Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Classical music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. A sticker on the left side reads "Great Thyme". Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee!

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{slams the glitter down}'' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a wooden cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man's abdominal muscles are in the shape of the letters "SB", and he is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from ''{pronounced "way I'm fum"}", and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical keyswordtar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

*Click the white card beside the portrait by the Deutsch Master to see an "Adventures of [[Strong Badman]]" comic book. A "Deutsch Master" holding a paintbrush is silhouetted, standing over Strong Badman and Deutschman, who are both lying wounded on a pile of rubble.<blockquote>Enter... The Deutsch Master "Strong Badman and Deutschman are both '''finished!!!'''"</blockquote>
*Click the keyswordtar at the end to see a [[printable]] version of the robotank stencil The Cheat used to vandalize the painting.
*Click [[Lord Quackingstick]] at the end to see Strong Bad show off his keyswordtar to Homestar.
:''{Cut to The Field with Homestar and Strong Bad holding the keyswordtar, his head still in the hole, although it has been broken off from the rest of the portrait.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so that's when I realized I don't even need Lamaze classes.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, there's something different about you. Did you get a haircut?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* ''Deutsch'' is the [[German]] word for "German", but Strong Bad uses it as a play on ''Dutch''. (The similarity in sound has led to confusion about terms such as [[Wikipedia:Pennsylvania Dutch|Pennsylvania Dutch]], who are actually of German descent.) "Dutch masters" is a general term for the famous Dutch artists of the 17th century, such as [[Wikipedia:Rembrandt|Rembrandt]] and [[Wikipedia:Vermeer|Vermeer]].
*[[Wikipedia:Falconry|Falconry]] is the art or sport of training raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game.
*[[Wikipedia:Lamaze|Lamaze]] is a relaxation technique designed to avoid the use of pain-killing drugs during childbirth.
*A [[Wikipedia:Tremolo arm|whammy bar]] is a lever mounted to the bridge of a guitar and is used to bend the notes up or down.
*[[Thyme]] is the herb depicted on Strong Mad's "Great Thyme" sticker.
*The painting of Strong Bad described as "looking like Morse Code" is a reference to the Wall Street Journal's use of [[Wikipedia: Hedcut|hedcuts]].

===Trivia===
*This email was sent in by wiki user [[User:NachoMan|NachoMan]].
*This email was released late Sunday night Atlanta time, but the website claimed that its release date was on Monday.
*The card next to the first portrait reads:

*If pronounced with all the umlauts Strong Bad had inserted, "True Master" would be pronounced TREU MEH-ster.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad tells "Coolio da Fabio" to "quit making up nicknames for yourself". However, in [[english paper]], he actually recommends it, saying "it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit."
**Additionally, an Easter egg in [[retirement]] shows a list of nicknames Strong Bad made up for himself.
*Homestar's lighter in the keyswordtar Easter egg is a [[Wikipedia:Saab|Saab]] lighter, in contrast to Strong Bad's [[BMW lighter]].
*The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
*Strong Bad's comment about "a useless Master of Fine Arts Degree" is a self-reference to [[Mike Chapman]]. Mike has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and, according to the [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview]], dropped out of graduate school because he felt that his photographic style was not commercially viable.
*The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
*In the scene where Strong Bad says "How did I get into this thing?", [[Lord Quackingstick]] is not there.
*The "really old cell phone" resembles the walkie-talkies from [[lunch special]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad mistypes his line "Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" The period should be outside the parentheses; Strong Bad types it inside.
*In the Easter egg, when Strong Bad is moving the wooden cutout of the keyswordtar around, the picture reverses direction.
*In the picture of Strong Bad holding the old cell phone, his arm is longer than usual.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's line "Thanks for breaking my moose lamp" is a reference to [[caper]], where he thanked Strong Bad and The Cheat for breaking his [[cow lamp]].
*The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnawing]] pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
*Strong Bad has a similar blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad Main Page]].
*The [[School Paste]] in Strong Mad's room was first seen in [[Strong Sad's room]] in the Email [[depressio]].
*The tune that Strong Bad uses to sing the opening lines of the email is very similar to the background music of [[Fall Float Parade]].
*Strong Mad's box of "TendaRONi" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].
*The extra [[Wikipedia:Heavy metal umlaut|umlauts]] in "Trüe Mästers" mirror those in "Witches' Brüe" from [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*[[Wikipedia:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] [[stew]], a kind of soup from [[Indian Food|India]], also appeared in the [[Experimental Film#Commentary Transcript 2|DVD commentary for Experimental Film]].
**Also within the article, a [[sweet deal]] is mentioned.
*Deutschman, one of the characters on the [[Strong Badman]] comic cover, was created in [[haircut]].
*Keyswordtar is a [[portmanteau]] of "sword" and "[[Wikipedia:Keytar|keytar]]" (which, in itself, is a portmanteau of keyboard and guitar).
*Strong Bad rejects the idea of hiring a kindergartner to make him a [[macaroni]] picture, because he would probably go to [[prison|jail]].

===Real-World References===
*"TendaRONi" is a reference to the term "tenderoni" which has appeared in [[Wikipedia:Tenderoni#In_popular_music|quite a number of songs]] as slang for a young female love interest, most famously "[[Wikipedia:Roni (song)|Roni]]" by Bobby Brown and "[[Wikipedia:P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)|P.Y.T.]]" by Michael Jackson. This, in turn, is named after a real boxed pasta product that was discontinued in 1981.
*The Rad Rad Robotank is likely a double-reference to [[Transformers]] and the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Newgrounds_logo.svg Newgrounds.com logo]. The fact that it appears as a stencil is possibly a jab at Newgrounds' tendency to encourage people to place their [http://www.newgrounds.com/stickers/ promotional stickers] everywhere. It is also a reference to a British artist, [[Wikipedia:Banksy|Banksy]], who uses stencils and has also produced paintings which consist of modified forms of existing works of art.
*The black-and-white portrait of Strong Bad is a "[[Wikipedia:Hedcut|hedcut]]", a type of drawing [http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/journal/ developed by] and used in ''[[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]]'' (which is probably the "rich-guy newspaper" he was referring to).
*[[Wikipedia:Chef Boyardee|Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
*Homestar holds up a [[Wikipedia:Saab Automobile|Saab]] lighter during the Easter egg with Strong Bad.

===Fast Forward===
*The trailer with the black light poster of the unicorn is later revealed to be the one that [[Secret Identities|Vance Mudgeman]]'s family lives in in [[secret identity]].
*The Cheat's spray paint design later appears in the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five#FBI Warning|FBI warning]] for [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]].
*In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Bad again refers to Dutch Masters, wondering why they never did wood burning art.

*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to figure what art style is most worthy of his visage."
*The Lord Quackingstick Easter egg plays automatically at the end.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! ''{presses enter}'' ''{singing}'' Da-doot doot doot Dear, Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering{{--}}''{stops singing}'' Ahhh, I can't keep this up.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: portrait</div>
Dear Strong Bad- 
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
paint a portrait of  your greatness. 
guess what, it's- 
Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)  I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad, in a long-haired wig, a beret, and a toga, holding a toy stick with a duck's head on the end. The painting is in a gold frame, with a museum placard beside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top, wearing a black mask, skullcap, and a t-shirt reading "4rt b4ndit". He places a stencil over the painting and paints a "robotank", along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK", in pink spray paint.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thanks, little buddy! Now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{obliging The Cheat noises; salutes}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a black-and-white newspaper. An image of Strong Bad in a suit and tie and holding a large cell phone is in the center.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines! Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse code. ''{imitating Morse code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I a-am ho-o-olding a real-ly ol-d cel-l-l pho-o-one.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased{{--}}

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for{{--}}Whoa!{{--}}

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a [[:Image:Trailer pony.PNG|poster of a unicorn on a snowmobile with the caption "Born to be danged!!!"]]. Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One#coice|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen and in a groggy voice}'' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing a relief-bust of Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Classical music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. A sticker on the left side reads "Great Thyme". Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee!

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{slams the glitter down}'' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a wooden cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man's abdominal muscles are in the shape of the letters "SB", and he is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from ''{{pronounced "way I'm fum"}}", and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical keyswordtar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
* ''Deutsch'' is the [[German]] word for "German", but Strong Bad uses it as a play on ''Dutch''. (The similarity in sound has led to confusion about terms such as [[Wikipedia:Pennsylvania Dutch|Pennsylvania Dutch]], who are actually of German descent.) "Dutch masters" is a general term for the famous Dutch artists of the 17th century, such as [[Wikipedia:Rembrandt|Rembrandt]] and [[Wikipedia:Vermeer|Vermeer]].
*[[Wikipedia:Falconry|Falconry]] is the art or sport of training raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game.
*[[Wikipedia:Lamaze|Lamaze]] is a relaxation technique designed to avoid the use of pain-killing drugs during childbirth.
*A [[Wikipedia:Tremolo arm|whammy bar]] is a lever mounted to the bridge of a guitar and is used to bend the notes up or down.
*[[Thyme]] is the herb depicted on Strong Mad's "Great Thyme" sticker.
*The painting of Strong Bad described as "looking like Morse Code" is a reference to the Wall Street Journal's use of [[Wikipedia: Hedcut|hedcuts]].

===Trivia===
*This email was sent in by wiki user [[User:NachoMan|NachoMan]].
*This email was released late Sunday night Atlanta time, but the website claimed that its release date was on Monday.
*The card next to the first portrait reads:

*If pronounced with all the umlauts Strong Bad had inserted, "True Master" would be pronounced TREU MEH-ster.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad tells "Coolio da Fabio" to "quit making up nicknames for yourself". However, in [[english paper]], he actually recommends it, saying "it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit."
**Additionally, an Easter egg in [[retirement]] shows a list of nicknames Strong Bad made up for himself.
*Homestar's lighter in the keyswordtar Easter egg is a [[Wikipedia:Saab|Saab]] lighter, in contrast to Strong Bad's [[BMW lighter]].
*The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
*Strong Bad's comment about "a useless Master of Fine Arts Degree" is a self-reference to [[Mike Chapman]]. Mike has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and, according to the [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview]], dropped out of graduate school because he felt that his photographic style was not commercially viable.
*The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
*In the scene where Strong Bad says "How did I get into this thing?", [[Lord Quackingstick]] is not there.
*The "really old cell phone" resembles the walkie-talkies from [[lunch special]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad mistypes his line "Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" The period should be outside the parentheses; Strong Bad types it inside.
*In the Easter egg, when Strong Bad is moving the wooden cutout of the keyswordtar around, the picture reverses direction.
*In the picture of Strong Bad holding the old cell phone, his arm is longer than usual.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's line "Thanks for breaking my moose lamp" is a reference to [[caper]], where he thanked Strong Bad and The Cheat for breaking his [[cow lamp]].
*The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnawing]] pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
*Strong Bad has a similar blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad Main Page]].
*The [[School Paste]] in Strong Mad's room was first seen in [[Strong Sad's room]] in the Email [[depressio]].
*The tune that Strong Bad uses to sing the opening lines of the email is very similar to the background music of [[Fall Float Parade]].
*Strong Mad's box of "TendaRONi" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].
*The extra [[Wikipedia:Heavy metal umlaut|umlauts]] in "Trüe Mästers" mirror those in "Witches' Brüe" from [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*[[Wikipedia:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] [[stew]], a kind of soup from [[Indian Food|India]], also appeared in the [[Experimental Film#Commentary Transcript 2|DVD commentary for Experimental Film]].
**Also within the article, a [[sweet deal]] is mentioned.
*Deutschman, one of the characters on the [[Strong Badman]] comic cover, was created in [[haircut]].
*Keyswordtar is a [[portmanteau]] of "sword" and "[[Wikipedia:Keytar|keytar]]" (which, in itself, is a portmanteau of keyboard and guitar).
*Strong Bad rejects the idea of hiring a kindergartner to make him a [[macaroni]] picture, because he would probably go to [[prison|jail]].

===Real-World References===
*"TendaRONi" is a reference to the term "tenderoni" which has appeared in [[Wikipedia:Tenderoni#In_popular_music|quite a number of songs]] as slang for a young female love interest, most famously "[[Wikipedia:Roni (song)|Roni]]" by Bobby Brown and "[[Wikipedia:P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)|P.Y.T.]]" by Michael Jackson. This, in turn, is named after a real boxed pasta product that was discontinued in 1981.
*The Rad Rad Robotank is likely a double-reference to [[Transformers]] and the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Newgrounds_logo.svg Newgrounds.com logo]. The fact that it appears as a stencil is possibly a jab at Newgrounds' tendency to encourage people to place their [http://www.newgrounds.com/stickers/ promotional stickers] everywhere. It is also a reference to a British artist, [[Wikipedia:Banksy|Banksy]], who uses stencils and has also produced paintings which consist of modified forms of existing works of art.
*The black-and-white portrait of Strong Bad is a "[[Wikipedia:Hedcut|hedcut]]", a type of drawing [http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/journal/ developed by] and used in ''[[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]]'' (which is probably the "rich-guy newspaper" he was referring to).
*[[Wikipedia:Chef Boyardee|Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
*Homestar holds up a [[Wikipedia:Saab Automobile|Saab]] lighter during the Easter egg with Strong Bad.

===Fast Forward===
*The trailer with the black light poster of the unicorn is later revealed to be the one that [[Secret Identities|Vance Mudgeman]]'s family lives in in [[secret identity]].
*The Cheat's spray paint design later appears in the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five#FBI Warning|FBI warning]] for [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]].
*In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Bad again refers to Dutch Masters, wondering why they never did wood burning art.

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to figure what art style is most worthy of his visage."
*The Lord Quackingstick Easter egg plays automatically at the end.

==Transcript==
''{We open on Homestar against the night sky, stars and the moon visible in the background. Ominous music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Each Halloween, severals of people become mildly annoyed, when Homestar Runner misinterprets their costume.

''{Record scratch, ominous music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So I made a game show out of it!

''{Zoom out to see Homestar standing on an orange floor, the night sky lifts up to reveal The Show background. The Show's theme music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to the tune of the The Show theme}'' Boo doo-doo! Boo-doo doo!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' That's right, paunchy America! It's time to play...

''{The show's title appears on screen in time with the crowd.}''

'''CROWD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Name! Slash! Guess! That! Homestar! Runner! Hallo! Ween! Costume! Misin! Terpre! Tation!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' And here's the star of Name/Guess That ''{mumbles}'' thing and the stuff: Homestar Runner!

''{The show's title falls off-screen, and Homestar walks onstage in costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks so much, Ron Johnny! It's a pleasure and a joy-joy to be doing this again for the first year in a row.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's get you locked in the isolation booth, dum-dum{{--}}

''{Homestar enters a small cylindrical chamber and shuts the door.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over, continued}'' {{--}}and bring out our first contestant: Coach Z!

''{Cut to a window panel, which opens to reveal Coach Z dancing on a pedestal in costume.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Okay, now, Coach Z, the rules are simple. Just tell us what you think Homestar Runner's misinterpretation of your costume will be.

''{Coach Z nods, and a lower third pops up reading "Coach Z as a Beastie Boy from the Intergalactic video".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I think there's a lot of good options, but I gotta go with, "Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo crossing guard costume! They was always telling me to go froward, move ahead!"

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' A solid guess!

''{A pop-up appears of a cinderblock, with a wig and googly eyes, and the text "Solid Guess!"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's go to the iso booth and see what Homestar chose.

''{Cut back to the isolation booth. Homestar turns around to look at Coach Z. Drumroll.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Devo construction worker costume!

''{Homestar holds up a card reading "Devo construction worker". Sad gameshow music plays.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Oooh, so close, Coach Z, but I'm afraid we can't accept it.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{sadly}'' Ohh...

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Thanks for playing!

''{Cut to a shot of a bottle of water, surrounded by a strip of lights. The bottle is labelled "Smarty Water" and has two green smudges on it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' ''{voice-over}'' Coach Z will receive: that bottle of water that's over there. It has some green stuff on it, but it might be on the outside of the bottle, I'm not sure. That bottle of water, that's over there.

''{Cut back to the stage, and Homestar's booth.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Continuing on, Homestar, how you feeling in there?

''{Homestar jiggles, making the sound of shaking an empty soda cup with ice in the bottom.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Rumpled on the inside!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Let's ignore that and meet our next contestant: The King of Town!

''{Cut to another section of the stage, with a trapdoor in the floor, which opens, and the King of Town appears up through it, in costume.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' All right, King, let's hear your guess.

''{A lower third reads "King of Town as Immortan Joe".}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' "Hey, King, I weally wike your what-you-look-like-when-you-first-wake-up-still-wearing-your-CPAP-machine costume!"

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' A real zinger! I could see that one!

''{A pop-up appears of a pair of glasses, with a wig and cartoon eyes and mouth, with the text "I could see that one!"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, King of Town, I really cotton to your Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ costume.

''{Homestar holds up a card reading "Mötley Crüe in the ICÜ". A buzzer sounds.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Ooh, way off with that one, KOT. Back in the pit.

''{The trapdoor opens, and the King of Town falls back below the stage. Cut to a set of three doors, with a sign reading "Doors 3". Three doors are labelled "1rd", "2ce" and "3th". Zoom in to the "2ce" door.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' And now, behind door number twice, it's Bubs!

''{The door opens, revealing Bubs, in costume.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Time for you to guess Homestar's misinterpretation of your costume, without going over.

''{The lower third reads "Bubs as Jack Flack".}''

'''BUBS:''' Let's see... I think he'd say, "Say, Bubs, say, Bubs, I really like your French GI-Joe costume! What was that character's name again? Jaunty Plumarenne? He came with a baguette bazooka!"

''{A Cheap As Free Toys action figure is shown based on Bubs's costume, named as "Jaunty Plumarenne", with other labels reading "Action-like figurine", "Baguette Bazooka" and "Bulletproof Beret".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' I'm sorry, we're going to need your answer in the form of a dollar amount.

'''BUBS:''' Er... seventeen-fifty?

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' Homestar, let's see it!

''{Cut back to Homestar, who is thinking hard and writing on his card. He turns the card around to show "$17.50". A bell rings.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice-over}'' That's correct!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray!

''{Homestar tears up the card and throws it as confetti.}''

''{Red lights flash as an alarm goes off.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Uh oh! You know what that sound means!

''{Diamond wipe.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Speedstipe!

''{Two live-action pennies roll and clink together. A Claymation Marzipan appears with the pennies as her eyes.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Marzipan!

''{Card reads "Marzipan as Penny".}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Abe Lincoln's Claymation daughter!

''{Pan right to Pom Pom.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Pom Pom?

''{Card reads "Pom Pom as Billy Bob Brockali".}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Bubble noises: subtitled as "Stripèd Bear Jankboree"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Stripèd Bear Jankboree!

''{Pan right to The Cheat on a pedestal.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' The Cheat!

''{Card reads "The Cheat as E.T. Dressed Up By Gertie".}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises: subtitled as "That Shriveled Grandma Muppet from Dark Crystal".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' That Shriveled Grandma Muppet from Dark Crystal!

''{Cut to Homestar, slouching and sinking in the booth.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Homestar, your answers?

''{Homestar holds up two cards with Pom Pom and The Cheat's answers on them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, all those. Except for Marzipan.

''{Homestar puts down the cards and holds up another one reading "We Need Bread! Still!"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Two out of three ain't bad! ''{Homestar waves the card.}'' Let's see what they've won!

''{Diamond wipe to a brown cloud of gas labelled "Meatsmell".}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' A cloud of Meatsmell. Never again go without the enticing aroma of nondescript meat with the ''{words appear}'' portable and affordable ''{words disappear as the label grows larger}'' Meatsmell! ''{Cheap As Free label appears and dings}'' From Cheap As Free Chemical!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And speaking of nasty brown clouds{{--}}

''{Diamond wipe to a closed window.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:'' {{--}}please welcome ''{window opens to reveal The Poopsmith}'' The Poopsmith!

''{Jingle plays, but is interrupted by a splat sound.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Let's hear your silent guess.

''{Cloes up on the Poopsmith. A spike comes out of his prop holding a card reading "Lifeline!"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Ooh, going to the phone for the assist!

''{The Poopsmith nods. A card reads "The Poopsmith as Xur"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Let's dial 'em up!

''{Phone rings. A split screen appears. Homsar picks up a yellow landline phone.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' DaAaAaAh! Hey, Lumbar! ''{Card reads "Homsar as Sgt. Deux Deux}'' I typed out the whole recipe instead of just taking a screenshot!

''{Drumroll. Cut back to Homestar in the booth.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Did the gamble pay off?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, nothin'. You look great. ''{snicker}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Course I look great! I'm da bee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I call it ''{close on pumpkin}'' "Self Portrait in Late October".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I call it last place. Ding! ''{As Homestar says "ding!", a "LAST" ribbon appears on Strong Sad's pumpkin.}'' Next contestant!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm doomed.

''{They walk up to The King of Town and his exhibit, a pie dish with one slice of pumpkin pie and some crumbs remaining.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right Mr. Of Town. Just what is going on over here?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, I was at home...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-huh.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' With the pumpkin...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It was looking...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Particularly luscious...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whadaya think, The Cheat?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I concur. Worst place! Ding! ''{A "WORST" ribbon appears.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Sorry, King, but our princess is in another castle...

''{They walk up to Strong Mad and his pumpkin, which hasn't been carved.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BOOO!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right. This guy's tall. Hey The Cheat, ask your friend here why come he didn't carve his pumpakin.

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

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAR?!

''{Strong Mad punches his pumpkin three times. Cut to close-up of the pumpkin from Strong Mad's angle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now that's talent! Good prize! ''{A "ding!" noise is heard, although Homestar doesn't say it. A "GOOD" ribbon appears.''}

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{surprised}'' Gah?

''{They go to Coach Z's pumpkin, which has a W carved into it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Coach, whadaya got for me?

'''COACH Z:''' Check it out, yo!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool, a W. What's that supposed to stand for? Witches' brew?

'''COACH Z:''' No, no, no, it stands for tha Wu-Tang!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z, are you a poser?

'''COACH Z:''' Nah, man, I'm down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Down with second to last place. ''{sarcastically}'' Ding. ''{A "2nd to LAST" ribbon appears.}''

''{They go to The Poopsmith's pumpkin, which is rotting, brown, and sunken in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispers}'' Just keep walking, The Cheat.

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{bares his teeth and hisses}''

''{They go to Pom Pom's pumpkin, a silhouette carving of a buxom woman in profile.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's up, my ''main man''? My dog! My ace in tha hole! 2nd place. ''{A "2nd" ribbon appears with a "ding" sound effect.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{lowers eyelids, bubbles}''

''{They go to Marzipan's pumpkin, which is uncarved and still on the vine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whatcha got here, Marzipan?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't want to kill mine, so I just left it on the vine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What for? So you could, like, use it in a witches' brew or something?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, I don't know what that means. Anyway, I wrote a song about it. ''{singing, to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell"}'' I left it on the vine, I left it on the line, I mean, I left it on{{--}}

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not necessary! Last place! Ding! ''{A "LAST" ribbon appears.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{fading into the background}'' Homestar, I'm breaking up with you.

''{They go to Strong Bad's pumpkin, which has multiple stab marks, a protruding butcher's knife, three turns of barbed wire, and nine craft-type "googly" eyes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad. So, um, are you supposed to be the Green Hornet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! No!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, right, you're supposed to be the um, the witches' brew.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! I'm the bee! Like, from nature.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great. So what's up with your pumpkin?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, ''{close on the pumpkin}'' I stabbed it a bunch and then wrapped it in barb wire, and then I felt sorry for it so, um, I gave it some googly eyes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That sure was nice of you. You get most improved. Ding! ''{A "MOST IMPROVED" ribbon appears.}''

''{They go to Bubs's pumpkin, which has had a starter cord, two backwards spark plugs, and exhaust pipes protruding from it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs.

'''BUBS:''' Hey, Homestar. ''{an owl hoots in the background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's up?

'''BUBS:''' Not a whole lot.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's that?

'''BUBS:''' That's just my pumpkin. ''{wolves are heard in the distance}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool. Does it do anything?

'''BUBS:''' Oh yeah. Check this out.

''{He pulls the cord three times. The sound of an engine starting is heard and the pumpkin contorts several times. It leaps off the table and flames come out of the exhaust. The Cheat's eyes widen in fear and he screams. The engine sputters out and the pumpkin falls back into place, but The Cheat continues screaming and runs off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Looks like you scared The Cheat.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, I guess I did.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not last place. ''{A "NOT LAST" ribbon appears with a "ding!" sound effect.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{rhythmically, extending his arms and bobbing his head from side to side}'' I feel so fine, I feel so elated, I feel so fine, I feel so elated!

''{Cut to close on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I guess that's everybody. Thanks for your help, The Cheat.

''{The Cheat is clinging to Homestar's ankles, his eyes still wide and twitching.}''

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You all did great. Hope to see you again next year! ''{music stops with the sound of a record scratching}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, who won? I think that your rating system is questionable.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, right, a winner and such. Well...

''{Homestar's head flies off as Strong Bad's head bursts from Homestar's torso.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I won! Ding!

'''BUBS:''' What the{{--}}?

'''COACH Z:''' What's goin' on here?

''{The real Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what's going on?

'''BUBS:''' Huh?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, you guys are so stupid. You thought I dressed up as ''the bee''? This is the best costume ever!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now wait a minute. Then who's that Strong Bad over there?

''{The other Strong Bad in the bee costume puts a hand on his head, but he unzips in half to reveal The Goblin. They all gasp.}''

'''BUBS:''' It's that goblin!

''{The Goblin's organ music plays and he does his dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhh! That explains everything. Ding!

''{A "THE END" ribbon appears on the screen, obscuring Homestar's face. As the scene fades to black, Homestar moves around trying to see past the ribbon.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Contestant Places===
These are the places each contestant ended up with (''in order'').
*Strong Sad: Last
*King of Town: Worst
*Strong Mad: Good
*Coach Z: 2nd to Last
*Poopsmith: Just keep walking... (none)
*Homsar: A New Standard For Last (no ding)
*Pom Pom: 2nd
*Marzipan: Last
*"Strong Bad": Most Improved
*Bubs: Not Last
*Real Strong Bad: Winner (According to himself)

===Trivia===
*This appears to be the first toon in which The Poopsmith has made any vocal sound. It is not known whether this violated his vow of silence or was produced by electronics.
*While the cartoon is fading out (to the costume section), Homestar tries to keep track of the screen by moving his head under the "The End" sign, an instance of [[Homestar Runner Peeking|Homestar peeking]].
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Homestar judges the pumpkin carving contest."
*"Homestar" calls Pom Pom [[my dog|his dog]], the first time one character refers to another in this manner.
*This toon marks the first instance of Homestar's obsession with [[Witch's Brew]]. Ironically, it is Strong Bad as Homestar who keeps bringing it up.

===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad pops out of his Homestar costume, he is wearing his Da Bee shirt, though when a view is seen from the back, he is wearing no shirt at all as usual.
*Pom Pom's pumpkin is impossible to make due to the floating piece of pumpkin between the girl's legs.
*In Bubs's pumpkin, the spark plugs are facing backwards.
*When "Homestar" puts a ribbon on Strong Mad's, Pom Pom's, and Bubs's pumpkins, there is a real "ding" sound effect instead of "Homestar" speaking it.
*In the Super Kingio Bros. Easter egg, it says you have three lives, but you only use one. This is likely so you do not have to waste time dying thrice on a game you cannot win. (The time never changes either.)
*Strong Bad must've been able to have flawlessly imitate both Homestar's voice and his [[lack of visible arms]] to complete his Homestar Runner costume.
*If the Easter egg is counted, three people got last place: Strong Sad, Homsar, and Marzipan. Additionally, the King of Town got worst place. These are the characters to whom Strong Bad most often shows antagonism, besides Homestar.
*This was the second year in a row that Marzipan dressed up as someone who died earlier in the year.

=== Goofs ===
*Marzipan's "Left Eye" actually changes sides a couple of times.

===Inside References===
*The blue ribbons, as well as the way they instantly pop into existence, are a reference to "[[Pom Pom, Too]]". In one scene, a ribbon reading "FIRST" appears on Pom Pom's chest.
*Pom Pom's pumpkin carving is very similar to the "The Ladies" icon on his [[Pom Pilot]] in [[the bird]].
*"Homestar" walking on the hills at the beginning may be a reference to [[Old Intro 2]].
*Strong Bad's [[What are you supposed to be?|incorrect guesses]] about the Goblin's costume reference how Homestar incorrectly guessed Strong Bad's costume in the two previous Halloween specials.
*Bubs gets [[Not X|Not Last]] place.
*"Homestar" says "[[Why come]]?"
*After introducing the contest judging, he makes what he claims are lightning sounds. This is a reference to [[Homestarloween Party]] where he announces "Flashlight Ghost-Story-Telling with a Flashlight" and is accompanied by thunder and lightning.

===Real-World References===
*After "Homestar" judges the King of Town's pumpkin, the disappointed king says, "Sorry, King, but our princess is in another castle..." This is a reference to the [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Brothers]]''. At the end of the fourth level of each world (World 1-4 to 7-4), [[Wikipedia:Toad (Nintendo)|Toad]] says, "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!".
*Pom Pom's pumpkin is the famous [[Wikipedia:Mudflap girl|silhouette of a woman]] stereotypically found on mudflaps.
*Coach Z's pumpkin is carved with the symbol for the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]], a popular rap group that started up in 1991–1992. Of course, "Homestar" mistakes this symbol for [[Witch's Brew|Witches' Brew]], thereby touching off a score of future brew-related inside jokes.
*Homsar's response to getting last place, "And also with you," is from some Catholic and Protestant church services. It is the usual response from the congregation after the priest says, "The Lord be with you."
*[[Wikipedia:The Green Hornet|The Green Hornet]], as the Goblin (as Strong Bad) was wrongly thought to be, was the crime-fighting vigilante hero of a '30s era radio drama by the creator of [[Wikipedia:The Lone Ranger|the Lone Ranger]]. It spawned several serials during the '40s and in the '60s spawned a cult hit TV show remembered mainly for its casting of [[Wikipedia:Bruce Lee|Bruce Lee]] as the Hornet's trusty sidekick, [[Wikipedia:Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]].
*The "Pajama Jammie-Jam" that Coach Z is talking about at the beginning of the toon is a reference to the movie [[IMDB:tt0102065|House Party 2]]. The tagline of the movie was "The Pajama Jam".
*Bubs' and the King of Town's costumes may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!|Super Mario Brothers Super Show]], where Lou Albano played [[Mario]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar dresses up as Angus Young from [[AC/DC]]. Two days after this cartoon, [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7.0]] was released. In an Easter egg, Homestar tries to sing "[[Wikipedia:Back in Black|Back in Black]]" and mentions at the end, "I just like that guy's little schoolboy outfit."
*On the "Learn to speak The Cheat" record in the Strong Bad Email [[cheat talk]], one of the phrases is "The King of Town is so lame." The Cheat uses this phrase here when asked what he thinks of the King of Town.
*Homsar's "pumpkin" joins Marzipan's vegetable chorus in an Easter egg in the 2004 Halloween toon: [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*A reference to this toon is made in [[Main Page 19]]: When rolling over [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]], Homestar says "Contestant number one, your name again is{{--}}Toons?" In this cartoon, "Homestar" introduces Strong Sad the same way.
*Strong Bad says that he won the "good medal" in The Cheat's Flash animation in [[strong badathlon]].
*In [[dangeresque 3]], when he and Homestar encounter [[Killingyouguy]], Strong Bad comments, "That guy is tall," which is what he says when he walks up to Strong Mad in this toon for his entry.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Great job on this one, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks; you too, Matt. All right, we're done! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Remember during the loading screen on this you could click on the little pumpkin and change its facial features.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. All the Halloween cartoons used to have some little game you could play{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}at the beginning during the, uh, loading screen.

'''MATT:''' 'Cause it took ''so long'' to load that cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. So this cartoon, uh, we didn't know the ending of until after we'd made pretty much the whole cartoon. Yeah, except for the end{{--}}like we'd done all{{--}}H{{--}}Homestar judging all the pumpkins and then at the end we didn't know what was gonna happen or how it was gonna end and then we came up with it pretty much right before we made it and put it up, right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I like what we came up with.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it uh...

'''MIKE:''' You know, it's kind of the classic...

'''MATT:''' ...Three Stooges ending.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wait, that doesn't explain anything! Yeah, it doesn't. Doodley-dee! Doo!

'''MIKE:''' So there's Strong Sad as, uh, Vyvyan{{--}}

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Vyvyan

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}from The Young Ones.

'''MATT:''' V-Y-V-V-Y-Y-vuh-V-V-N

'''MIKE:''' I remember not really understanding The Young Ones when Jeff ''{unclear}'' would watch them in 1986 or something{{--}}on the{{--}}late night on MTV or something.

'''MATT:''' You didn't get it when you were a kid?

'''MIKE:''' I knew that it was funny when the elephant, Matt you know, elephant head came out to dance.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It was always fun. It was great when Madness would come on and play a song. ''{pause}'' King looks good as Mario.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he's{{--}} oh, that was also another Easter egg. I don't know if that's on here.

'''MATT:''' Uh, yeah{{--}} the Super Kingio Brothers that you can't play.

'''MIKE:''' Where you can't jump high enough to jump over the first Goomba and just die.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Lots of people tried many time to jump over. ''{imitating people who didn't get the joke}'' "You can't, the game's broken, you can't do it." It's sort of a joke. Sort of.

'''MATT:''' Sort of. ''{pause until Homestar says "This guy's tall."}'' Those guy is tall.

'''MIKE:''' I like the look of this, uh, cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' I think it's one of my favorite. I don't know, for some reason the, uh....

'''MATT:''' It was a new background{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that{{--}}

'''MATT:''' {{--}}the spooky sky, uh{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}the black hills gradiating into the purple ground.

'''MATT:''' Gradiating.

'''MIKE:''' Gr{{--}}Gradienting?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, either one's probably a good{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Fading?

'''MATT:''' {{--}}made up word. Uh, Coach Z looks very good as, uh, Kid.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' There's a couple of these pumpkins that don't physically work, I think. Where there's some chunks of things just floating.

'''MIKE:''' Just floating, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that you'd have to have some string or wire involved in your carving.

'''MIKE:''' Ah, it's{{--}}

'''MATT:''' It's Ghost Dog!

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}Easter egg Homsar. You know I haven't seen Ghost Dog since we saw it in the theater where our friend Matt had a razor blade in his pocket.

'''MATT:''' And cut his hand, like in half.

'''MIKE:''' Cut his hand halfway through the movie and didn't say anything, and we just get out of the movie and his hand's bleeding and he's like "Oh yeah, I had a razor blade in my pocket and I cut my hand." That's the kind of guy Matt is.

'''MATT:''' ''{both laughing}'' He's a great guy. That's a perfect story for Ghost Dog. ''{pause}'' Yeah, like that little chunk between, uh, the knees of, uh, Curves Ahead Lady.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Dangerous curves ahead.

'''MIKE:''' There's a thin{{--}} there's some thin wire holding that up, you just can't see it. Did he just call Home ''{catches himself}'', uh, Pom Pom his dog?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think that might have been one of the first "my dog"s.

'''MIKE:''' You know, we were just talking about how we've been using "my dog" a lot recently.

'''MATT:''' This is where "witch's brew" is first coined as well, was it not?

'''MIKE:''' I think so. I think most of the Halloween cartoons{{--}} you know, Marzipan is Left Eye Lopez here and, uh, almost all of 'em ha{{--}} used to have like a dead rock star come.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and I think someone thought{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Kurt Cobain or Joey Ramone.

'''MATT:''' {{--}}thought that{{--}}at first thought that Willie Nelson was a continuation of that, and then they're like "Wait, no, hang on! He's not{{--}} he's still around.

'''MIKE:''' But, yeah, my point was the last few years I don't think we've done the, uh, dead{{--}} I think we ran out of dead rock stars. We didn't want to do Jim Morrison{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Yeah

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}or John Lennon.

'''MATT:''' That's a dangerous looking pumpkin, Mike. It could do some serious damage. Sort of{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Ter-Terry Funk and, uh, Cactus Jack could have fun with that in a hardcore wrestling match an have {incomprehensible}.

'''MATT:''' Speaking{{--}} And speaking of wrestling ''{pronounces the "t"}''{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' There you go, perfect segue.

'''MATT:''' {{--}}Captain Lou Albano, who somehow used to put{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Old rubber bands in the face.

'''MATT:''' Somehow used to have rubber bands through his cheeks.

''{Mike laughs, then a pause}''

'''MIKE:''' That's some good fire right there. ''{Matt starts imitating the fire sound effects}'' Oh, and good fire noises. ''{condescendingly}'' Very good, Matt. Very{{--}} that's very impressive. You're so talented. ''{normally}'' Yeah, that's enough.

'''MATT:''' ''{stops the sound effects}'' Totally sounded like me going "HWAH". I was noticing in, uh, I think it was Sly Cooper 2 there's a sound effect that sounds like it's just a guy going "peow" or something. It doesn't happen very often but.... ''{trails off}'' The poor Cheat is, uh, scared of fire. Has that come back before? I can't remember if we're been consistent with that or not.

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh... I don't know, I don't think so. I fell like this is the only time. Maybe it's just fiery pumpkins.

'''MATT:''' Now ''{sounds like "Nah"}'' wait a minute! ''{pause}'' You can tell I'm gettin' a sore throat.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, late in the cartoon. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah ''{laughs}'' Strong Sad's mask looks really squished there. Like a little too squished.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, sometimes that....

'''MATT:''' ''{gasps in mock surprise}'' I was proud of the unzipping of his costume there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah it looks good.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I thought it looked pretty smooth. ''{pause}'' No, wait{{--}}but Homestar I have so many more costions!

'''MIKE:''' Costions? Costume questions. That's short for "costume questions".

'''MATT:''' Thanks for saving me, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' No problem.

'''MATT:''' ''{along with the ending music}'' Ding!

'''MIKE:''' I'm absolutely gonna just sit here.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously, overlapping}'' Oh, everybody's gonna talk a lot. ''{pause}'' Well{{--}}well let's talk about something, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did we not mention... whose costumes didn't we talk about?

'''MATT:''' We didn't really talk about the Sleestak.

'''MIKE:''' Sleestak. That's a Sleestak from Lost of the Land. ''{Matt laughs}'' Land of the Lost. Those things did used to creep me out.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I didn't{{--}}I would not watch it a lot because I was scared of them and hid.

==Easter egg: Homestar vs Homestar==
I will handle the...getting of the screenshot...of the Easter Egg poster. --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 21:54, 29 Jan 2007 (UTC)

Ya know, I figured that Egg out first, you guys just beat me to the point. {{User:Derrickee3/sig}} 02:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It's the desperate, ruthless life of a wiki in turmoil, when there is a new email/toon waiting to be known... --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 03:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

==The Big Space==
Is there any way we can fix that big space under "Fixed Goofs"? I HATE it. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
:What big space?{{User:Shwoo/sig}} 03:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::Hm, must be this monitor... does anybody see it? {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
:::Looks normal to me... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Okay then, it has to be my monitor. Pluus I'm editing from my usual computer. All right, don't worry about it, then. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} I'm telling you, it's the pudding pops!!
:::::Incidentally, your monitor would not cause a space anywhere, unless it was extremely broken. Different browsers might, though. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::Screen resolutions might, though. But I see no big space no matter how small I make my browser window.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Okay, now I'm on my Windows XP again. It looks better. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

== Transcript ==

A couple things I couldn't quite catch, such as Strong Mad's line, and the song Homestar sings. So if anyone else could get that, that'd be great. {{User:DBK/sig}} 03:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:Sounds like "Just take those old glasses off the shelf." {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::Shwoo already added that, Q ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:::So I noticed! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Also, I wasn't sure about the PBTC Strong Bad's line, I'm not sure if I'm hearing 'Iconic'. {{User:DBK/sig}} 03:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Sounds like it to me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::To me as well.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

==Homestar's stance==

Anyone else think that homestar's foot-to-foot stance as he beats himself up is eerily similar to the dancing headless homestar at the seek bar found end end of [[mile]]? just compare it to Image:headlessdance.gif and you'll see what I mean. [[User:Dr. Clash|Dr. Clash]] 03:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:I wouldn't call it eerie (frightening without being actually threatening) but it is similar. However, fighters are often characterized as "dancing" so perhaps this is merely appropriate foot movement to avoid an attack from the... opponent... wow, maybe this is eerie. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

== Camera ==

When the "[[Whatsit|whatsit]]" is thrown after The Cheat lands, it seems that the whatsit lands vertically on a lens of some sort. Where would this information go? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 04:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:I wonder if it needs to get a special mention at all. It's apparent in the shot, and could be simply mentioned in the transcript. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::"Hello chocolate cake!" EEW!

== It's the desperate, ruthless life of a wiki in turmoil ==

Okay, I do NOT want a repeat of last week's events of stress outs. Everything in the transcript is okay as it is unless there's some changes to the display and all. --Heading off to watch [[wikipedia:Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]] now, [[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 05:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:Now come on, if there were no disputes over the transcript, where would all the fun be? :-) Seriously, though, we can't prevent transcript disputes. The closest we could do would be to ask Matt to use really clear diction all the time, and I don't know that he'd feel like implementing that just for us. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

==Inconsistency!==
People have been referring to it as "bad'''''l'''''athon" rather than "badath'''''l'''''on". What's wrong? --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 06:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:I guess you're simply the first one to notice ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::Actually, i think all those errors are mine, I'll fix them. My problem is that the first time I used it wrong, and show preview gave a blue link because the redirect existed :\ Whoops. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

== laconic ==

the ladies name is Laconic, not iconic.(frame 1870)
*definition : using or involving the use of a minimum of words : concise to the point of seeming rude or mysterious {{User:Csours/sig}} 15:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

:You say that as if you know for an indisputable fact. I'll have to relisten, but as I noted above I heard it as "Iconic". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::yup, 90% certain its Laconic. or 88% certain anyway. arent you proud of me for not editing the transcript? {{User:Csours/sig}} 01:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::It doesn't make much sense, but I hear "Lyconic".--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 03:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm also pretty sure PBTC Strong Bad calls the girl "Laconic" and not "Iconic".--[[User:Andyroid|Andyroid]] 04:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::If you insist. I'll change it on the subs if they haven't been yet. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 15:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar's points ==

Also, since Homestar is beating himself up, shouldnt he have an even number of points? (score * 2)? I assume thats where his advantage comes from.{{User:Csours/sig}} 15:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
: How do you figure? He gets the same number of points for beating himself up and subsequently being beaten up? I doubt it works that way, and even if it does, that's reading pretty far into it. He wins because he has an intimate knowledge of Homestar's weak points. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::because the general assumption in sports is that there is more than one party, and each party is awarded points. In this case each party would be Homestar. So when Homestar is awarded his points, he gets them as the party of the first part, and as the party of the second part. in a cartoon world, ''obviously'' rules need not apply. also, because its funny. {{User:Csours/sig}} 17:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:::The Olympics, what this is based on, is more of a "who does it better" thing, though. They just put person after person to one thing, and whoever does it best wins. Like here. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Also, a competition does not necessarily mean that the total of both people's points will be even. We simply do not know enough about the nature of the contest to make such an assumption. I can cite many cases where two people have competed and the point total was odd. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:12, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::since it has come to that, how are these events scored with points anyway. olympic style events are scored by the stats (time, distance, etc) unless the underlying game is scored with points. {{User:Csours/sig}} 01:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Another point, in this case it's not really a competition of Homestar vs. Homestar. Homestar, in this event, (at least when he's not playing), is presumably closer to a piece of equipment. So Homstar would only get the points from beating himself up. {{User:Exhibit A/sig}} 06:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::Or possibly, both Homestars would get the same number of points, resulting in a perfect tie. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 07:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

== East Germans ==

The "Check the East Germans' pants" is '''''obviously''''' referencing the common urban legend that the East Germans used to put men in the womens' events. This was also referenced in the simpsons talking about the 1984 olympics. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 23:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

:No, I'm pretty sure it's cause steroids make...stuff...shrink. I mean, if I read correctly, they [[Wikipedia:East_Germany#Sports|did '''tons''' of steroids back then]]. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::I agree with [[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]]. Anyone remember the movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Secret!|"Top Secret"], and the scene with the East German women's Olympic award ceremony, and they were all played by big, hairy, butch guys? That's what it makes me think of.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 03:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Hm, it looks it could be a clear reference to either one. Bluebry, you are funny. "stuff"? Ha ha. Anyway, I am leaning towards JamesDean and H-ko, since it makes more sense. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
::Strong Bad is not gonna say "Check the East Germans' Pants" meaning that you should be able to see the guys' packages. Thats stupid. That wouldnt mean they were on steroids if you couldnt see their packages through their pants. Someone be bold and make my suggestion a reality. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 04:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Is it true that East Germany put men in women's events? I wasn't aware of that. With respect to ''Top Secret'' (awesome movie, by the way), I always thought that the joke was that those were women on steroids, not that they were actually men pretending to be women. Steroids have the effect of masculinizing women just as they have the effect of feminizing men, hormonally speaking. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::::As far as I know the steroids are true and the men dressed as women are not. I think the myth that the East German women were really man was probably due to the masculinizing effects of the steroids, but I think perhaps those were not as commonly known then as they are now. But I think it was the urban myth that was being referenced, not the actual use of steroids.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 19:00, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Lordy Lordy ==

Was this the first ever usage of "Lord" like, in vain? They've said Lord before like Lord Quackingstick, and Lord of england and whatever, but I don't think they've ever said anything like "THANK THE LORD" like they have here --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 23:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

:What 'bout that one TGS (Can't remember issue number, maybe 11) where they sang the song and replied "Lord no." with whatever stupid thing the bear sold. Also, I don't think it's too important to mention. I mean, I know it's a sin in Christianity, but many modern Christians say it. I mean, we're not gonna mention everytime some word is used in some certain way commonly used. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

For the record, saying "Thank the Lord" is in no way using it "in vain."
:Um, I'm a Christian, and "thank the lord" isn't a sin at all. <strike>Some people take it like a religion. But it's not. You can make it one, but for me it's a relationship. And</strike> it isn't in vain at all, either. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} EDIT: I agree with what Lapper said below, encyclopedias don't have religions.

::With all due respect, whether or not it is "in vain" is immaterial. It's a common phrase, and is as such not notable. TBC's religious beliefs are not part of the show. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

:::No, we don't have to say it every time. But if it is the first occurrence, I think it deserves a mention - everything else does. And no, its not a hard/fast Christianity rule, but it seems to me that you're not supposed to use the Lord's name unless you're praying, and saying "Thank the Lord" that strong bad isnt going to give you a wedgie, is not actually praying. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 04:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

::::It's quite a subjective thing; lookup "vain" and "vanity" in your favorite dictionary. It boils down to something like "empty; shallow", (though there are specific usages related to pride or self-importance). Bottom line, we can't know one way or another because we are not Strong Mad; for a Christian it is comes down to thier personal relationship with God; some may be thankful for a sweet parking spot at the mall while others consider that vanity. Both are valid relationships. For a non-christian -- the discussion doesn't even make sense. I agree with Qermaq, leave it out. [[User:74.136.215.239|74.136.215.239]]

::::JamesDean (and others), the assumption that Strong Mad (or even TBC) are Christians who are observant of the idea that "Thank the Lord" is taking the Lord's name in vain is, frankly, speculative. Even if they ''happened'' to be Christian, I submit it would ''still'' be unnotable. Again, the discussion is immaterial - it being a common phrase, it's not notable, no more than "This is the first time a character says ''insert any other common phrase here''" is notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::I remember once a fun fact was included in one toon for "This is the first time Marzipan has said 'crap'." I mean, really. This is a lot like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::Your tone implies you agree that it is not notable, but your [[3 Times Halloween Funjob#Remarks|citation]] implies you do not. Which did you mean? (Personally, I think that fun fact is absolutely unnotable as well. But this one, as it's not referring to a running gag at all, is even more so.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I agree with Q: both fun facts are not notable. Marzipan's "crap fact" should definitely be deleted.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

::::::::But this may be the only time that Missy's mouth was ever defiled by uttering such an obscene scatology! Just kidding, I agree on both fronts — neither of these facts is notable. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 11:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::This is getting pretty off-topic. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::I agree with Qermaq. There's no way that this is notable, not to mention how speculative it is. Encyclopedias don't have speculation, and they don't have religion. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Vulgarism? ==
as in dysphemism? I think "number 2" is definitely a euphemism. A dysphemism would be a purposely vulgar word, rather than a set of normal words (like 'number' and 'two') that say something vulgar without saying it.

:Now, are you talking about The Poopsmith being "number 2", because that's already mentioned. If not, then I apologize. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Athlon? ==
That's a processor, right? Athlon processor? It's obviously based on "-athon" and "-athalon" but distinct enough that I think it was spelled that way on purpose.

:Athlons are awesome. Anyway, yeah, I see three spellings with Athlon. I think it's totally a reference. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

::Huh? No... It's a pun on "biathlon", "triathlon", "decathlon" et al... The word is reasonably relevant too, since the Greek "athlon" just means "contest", so the Strong Badathlon is a contest to find out who's the best at being Strong Bad. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, definitely a reference to "-athlon" sporting events, not AMD processors, considering this is about a sports event and not computers.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 03:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::::But the sporting events are not 'athlon' they're ath'''a'''lon, aren't they? They're either athon or athalon. Athlon is only a processor.

:::::No, just -athlon for the sporting type events. In fact, The name "[[Wikipedia:Athlon|Athlon]]" was chosen by AMD as short for "[[Wikipedia:Decathlon|decathlon]]". -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::May be a cultural spelling difference, like "color" vs. "colour". But here in the States, it's "biathlon", etc. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh crap, you're right! Well, people PRONOUNCE IT ath-a-lon. @_@

==Missing/Potentially Debatable Stuff==
I noticed that the part where Strong Bad's laser gun hands can be seen through the dress of the "hot girl" walking across the screen appeared in the e-mails transcript, but not in either the "goofs" or "remarks" section. It seems like it should be in one of those. Also, in "Inside References," it says that the laser gun hands appeared in one of the e-mail's easter eggs, but no such easter egg is listed in the e-mail's article. Besides that, I think that calling the "Someteen days of glory!" an inside reference to Teen Girl Squad Issue 10 is debatable, but maybe that's just me. Oh well. There's my two cents. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 01:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:We don't list PbTC goofs in the Goofs section, 'cause they're intentional... we list them in Remarks if there's a lot of them, but when there's only one or two the Transcript is enough. The Inside Reference you mention is talking about an Easter egg in [[new hands]], not in this email. As for the "Sweet Someteen" ref... well, maybe it's debatable, but I'd vote for it if it was in STUFF. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::I see. I figured it had something to do with the fact that it was PbTC, since that seemed like an obvious thing to overlook to me. As for the whole [[new hands]] e-mail thing, I guess I just forgot that it mentioned the new hands e-mail in there. Sorry. Anyway, I don't know anything about STUFFing items, so maybe someone else should do it. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 02:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Kenyans ==

Does anyone else think that Strong Bad's "accidentally" (?) referring to the Kenyans dominating the Cheat Chuck (before correction himself to the Poopsmith) refers to the Kenya's excellence at track & field events? Or is this so super-obvious it doesn't even warrant a mention?--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 04:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:Under Explanations: "Kenyan athletes are noted for dominating the sport of distance running.". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks--missed it there. I was looking under real-world refs.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 04:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::That's Real World References - but this isn't a reference to something so much as it is an actual mention, so we're explaining it. A common mix-up. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Patriotic Little Girl ==

Any ideas which cute little girl from sit-com is being referenced? Or is it just generic?--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 04:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

:I'd say any guess would be by necessity [[TTATOT]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

==Clean & Jerk==

The clean and jerk is a part of weightlifting. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 04:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

==Wheaties==

Temporarios is a reference to Wheaties due to the athlete endorsement. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 04:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:I disagree with this one — that is, I think that there were a lot of cereals that featured olympic athletes on their boxes, not just Wheaties ([http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/0/9/4/7/5/2/webimg/27800227_o.gif here's one example]). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah, the different one listed in explanations fits better, in my opinion. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Fosbury Slop==

Gee, didn't know I'd be resoundingly defeated in STUFF. I would have hoped that people would have seen the fact for the coincidence it is. But hey, I'll live to STUFF another day. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 04:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:To prove to me that it was a coincidence, you'd basically have to have proved to me it was TTATOT. You did no such thing. Thus, given the rhyme, the context, and the way Strong Bad describes it, I can't say I thought it was a coincidence at all. But hey, I [[do over|do]] understand the sentiment. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::Ah yes, that one. Well, Jay, can't win 'em all, I suppose. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
--There is no doubt in my mind that it is an intentional reference. The 'bury-buried' similarity coupled with the 'slop-flop' rhyme in the context of an Olympic technique is just too much to be a coincidence. There's no logical reason to use that term if it's not a reference. Were you personally familiar with the term "Fosbury Flop" before seeing this e-mail? If it's not something you've heard before it might be harder to recognize it.
:I agree completely. Honestly, saying that "Whatsitburied Slop" is not a reference to the "Fosbury Flop" (especially considering that they're both techniques designed to win athletic competitions) is about the most ridiculous argument I've ever seen put on this website. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 23:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

== Cableman Jorge ==

Why is the cableman jorge reference in the Inside References section? I know who he is, I just can't find any other mention of him in this sbemail.
:He's mentioned on the Homestar VS. Homestar poster, I believe. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== "Streisand" ==

I'm confused. What does Streisand have to do with guitars? [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 05:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

:Just the usual Powered By The Cheat randomness, I think. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::Apparently something, according to [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Streisand+guitars Google]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::I was also wondering if the new hot girl (not Cynthentia/Baby Styles) is supposed to be Steisand... -Cyndentia
:::: mebbe look at this a bit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand#References_in_popular_culture . . . but prolly not... try this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_expletives#B {{User:Csours/sig}} 06:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Quotation Marks/Apostrophes ==
Normally, since this is a grammar issue, I would just edit this myself, but I can't really remember the rules, so I thought I'd run it by you guys first. Someone went through and changed all of the 's to "s, which would be fine, except the context was that what were originally 's were inside brackets which were inside "s, so I would think that the ' would be the right punctuation, right? Also, someone removed the ' from 1980's, but since it's referring to a decade I believe the rule is that the apostrophe stays even though it's a plural. Correct me if I'm wrong. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 05:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

:Addressing the last one, "[[Wikipedia:1980s|1980s]]" is preferred. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

::Regarding the first question, you would normally be right, but what you see as double quotation marks around entire lines in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=strong_badathlon&diff=411351&oldid=411342 this edit] is actually markup for italics — if you type <nowiki>''this phrase is in italics''</nowiki>, you get ''this phrase is in italics'', as opposed to "this phrase is in double quotes". In the first case you have two single quotation marks on each side of the text, in the second case you have a single character (") on each side. So, there's no grammar violation there. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

:::We prefer " to ' for quotations, for [[HRWiki:Manual of Style#Quotation marks|style]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Searching#Words in single quotes|technical]] reasons. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

::::Yeah, I didn't see that until I looked over the page again. Sorry about that. Also, someone said I should STUFF the inside reference about "someteen" and TGS #10. Is this a good idea? I don't even know how to STUFF something. --[[User:Lux Acerbus|Lux Acerbus]] 06:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::I don't think you should, as it seems a waste of time to me: it is almost certainly a reference. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::There's some good info about when to STUFF facts, when to delete them, and when to discuss them on the talk page [[HRWiki:STUFF/About#STUFFing vs. Deleting|here]]. For a fact like this (one that's not patently false), I would try to discuss it on the talk page (like you did) first, and if a person or two agrees with you and you still feel strongly about it, then remove it and begin the STUFF process. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

==Closimony song==

I heard "Together now" not "Togetherness". [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 05:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
:Me too. At least from Marzipan (who is a little more understandable). I also heard "We're Circling the world", but that doesn't make that much sense. [[User:Zephiel|Zephiel]] On April 2, 2007
::I'm definitely hearing "togetherness". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar's lack of visible arms ==

Why is it noteworthy that Homestar can hit himself even though his arms are invisible? He can still use them for any other purpose!

:I agree, hasn't he used his arms before. If we know he has arms (just invisible) why should we point out that its surprising that he can hit himself? {{unsigned|203.109.151.60}}

== Projectile motion ==

:''When the Poopsmith flings The Cheat into the air, The Cheat apparently seems to defy the concept of projectile motion. He is thrown at an initial velocity of at least 5 m/s, but as he flies over Coach Z, he appears to be traveling at about 0.5 m/s. Also, before landing on the tea table, The Cheat seems to reach two high heights (one above Coach Z and one in the background with the tea table).''

== Ding! ==

Could the good medal be a reference to Strong Mad's "good prize" from Pumpkin Carve-nival? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

== Odd Pants ==
Homestar's short athletic pants only match when he walks into the ring and when he is knocked into the air by himself. It looks like the pants face front (on walk direction) and when he adopts the sparring stance, his legs face the "camera" while his upper body and pants face the same direction as before (except his face). If this is a legit goof, can I edit it in? Thanks for your time. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 15:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm gonna add it and let the continuity guys argue over it, I don't think anybody comes to this discussion page anymore. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 16:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

:First, being '''bold''' and adding it is the right move. Second, as you've brought up talk comment on it, I wonder what exactly is the issue. The legs change their facing while the pants remain stationery? I... I don't know. Is this possibly a result of "swively hips"? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. If it isn't a goof (H*R never really ''wears'' pants), than maybe it could be explained that they were attached to his shirt... except they do not move with his shirt. I was just randomizing some sbemail when it landed on this one and I noticed that Homestar had odd pants. Also, I don't think he will see it, but thanks to [[User:Has Matt?|Has Matt?]] for correcting the name of the event. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 18:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

== The Exact Same ==
Since this other "homestar" has been named and noted as a seperate character, should this still be labled as an instance of duplicate characters? -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 23:02, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
:He appears to be a scrapped Homstar Runner puppet, and he's had three appearances so far. You are right, though, almost all of his appearances have Homestar in his presence, and it could be considered as instances of duplicate characters. --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 23:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
::Not quite what I meant. There was a page just created about this "The Exact Same" character and I figured the reference to duplicate characters (which is already there) should be removed. -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 23:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Oops. I misread that. You're right with that, then. But I think we should now consider The Exact Same a duplicate-pseudo character himself, though I'm probably taking that too far. --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 23:14, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
::If he has his own page as a seperate "homestar impersonator", he should be considered his own character. -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 23:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== So and So ==
Homstar's line "Come on you little so and so" could be a reference to so and so from TGS, don't you think? -I should really consider getting an account right now.

== Olympic-Style Competitions ==

It's written under Explanations that "Though the next Summer Olympics weren't until 2008, many Olympic-style competitions had been held around the time this email came out." Since this is Strong Badathlon 2007, I've got to ask if anyone remembers any examples of vehement Olympery going on back then. My memory of ten years ago is very unphotographic. [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 03:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

== Missing text discovered thanks to Ruffle! ==

As I mentioned in my recent edit of the main page, it turns out that suspiciously-empty blue oval on the Temporarios box was supposed to have white text saying "For Eating!" in it, but no known version of Flash ever rendered it. Ruffle does, but in a default fallback font that's too big to fit. My guess is that whatever font they used failed to embed properly. Furthermore, they never released the episode on YouTube. If anyone has access to the DVD version, I'd love to know what it looks like there. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 03:16, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm doin' a party, I'm makin' it happen, on Strong Bad Email.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: the cheat</div>
Strong bad, 
For a long time i've been wondering.... How far can you 
throw the cheat? If you don't want to do that, could you 
beat the crud out of homestar for no reason? 
 
Lewis Rudkin 
Essex, England.
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads Essex as "S X"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Y'know, it's funny how this always seems to work out, Rudkin... ''{clears screen}'' but those just happen to be the first two events in the Strong Badathlon!

''{cuts to Strong Badathlon logo, slowly zooming in. Strong Badia is visible in the background. Trumpet music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, they also happen to be my two worst events. The Cheat Chuck is consistently dominated by the Kenyans. I mean the Poopsmith. Ever since he devised the Whatsitburied Slop

''{As he says this, it cuts to the Poopsmith next to a pile of whatsit, and then uses his shovel to fling a whatsit-covered The Cheat out of the pile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...that guy's unbeatable!

''{Cut to Coach Z standing next to the distance markers, watching The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Cheat noises as he flies through the air}''

'''COACH Z:''' Holy gorsh! It looks like a new record!

''{Cuts to Homsar and Marzipan sitting at a table having tea}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The Cheat flies onto the table, causing whatsit to fly onto Marzipan's face and onto the camera, smearing it on the lens.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Aah!

'''HOMSAR:''' Well, hello, chocolate cake!

''{Cuts to results board of the Strong Badathlon}''
:''Results 2007 StrongBadathlon''
:The Cheat Chuck
:: The Poopsmith......211pts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating is another event you'd think I'd be the best at. But the reigning champion seems to have intimate knowledge of Homestar's weak points.

''{As he speaks, it cuts to Homestar walking onto the screen with a sweat band and athletic outfit on.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{punches himself in the stomach}'' Come on you little so and so. ''{slaps himself in the face, then punches himself in the stomach}'' Is that all you got? ''{punches himself in the side, then the face}'' Oh yeah? Oh yeah? You think you got it like that? ''{punches himself 3 times}'' Whaddya think this is, you little placemat? ''{gets hit in face once}'' A diaper show? ''{gets hit in stomach once more}'' It's not a diaper show. ''{gets hit in stomach again}'' I think that's pretty obvious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, man, we should start putting those Homestar Vs. Homestar fights on pay-per-view. Instant classics! And speaking of pay-per-view,

''{Cuts to Strong Bad sitting in the Basement, with a "Remote Put" graphic in the upper left hand corner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Next up is the Remote Put.

''{Cuts to the TV with a "Ready?" graphic on the screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voice over, reading text that appears on screen}'' Cute little girl from sit-com sings patriotic song.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dargh, I freakin' hate that little kid! Why'd they ever bring her on the show?! ''{throws remote}'' Agh!

''{The remote hits the wall, breaking in two, causing the batteries to fly out. Graphic comes on screen, accompanied with a buzzer noise, graphic reads "DISQUALIFICATION! BATTERY FAULT!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? These games are fixed! Check the East German's pants! Check the--

''{Cuts through static to results screen}''
:''Results 2007 StrongBadathlon''
:The Cheat Chuck
:: The Poopsmith......211pts.
:Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating

:: Cherry Greg........11pts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Our coverage of the 2007 Strong Badathlon continues with the Clean and Jerk... Strong Mad's Underwears... Over His Head. Fortunately, you don't really have to clean them.

''{Cuts to Strong Bad and Coach Z standing behind Strong Mad, whose underwear is sticking out of his singlet, with a ruler against his back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh, are you trying to tell me that this man doesn't already have a wedgie of illegal proportions?

'''COACH Z:''' Nope, that's the reggalation starting point.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it, I'm boycotting these games.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THANK THE LORD!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' And finally, my strongest event, ''{graphic appears, and adds new picture with each word}'' Probably Something with Guitars, lasers, Robots, and Hot Girls.

''{Cut to Powered By The Cheat cartoon. A version of the Strong Badathlon logo morphs into a cloud at the top right corner as Strong Bad, with laser arms, fires at robots walking in the background. A woman with a green-and-white striped shirt walks by; when she walks past Strong Bad, he can be seen through the green stripes.}''

'''PbTC STRONG BAD:''' ''{laser noises, shoots robots}'' Hey, wait, look Laconic, I got- I won the Good medal.

''{With one laser-hand, he holds up a "Good medal". Cut to a Powered By The Cheat version of The Cheat playing the guitar. The word "Streisand" appears across the screen (going off the right side of it) as someone says it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And after all the medals have been given to the wrong athletes, we come to the ending closimonies, celebrating poor sportsmanship, drug testing, and good ol' fashioned people twirling ribbons.

''{Cuts to Strong Sad and Marzipan twirling ribbons on a stage.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Togetherness.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Togetherness.

'''MARZIPAN and STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Encircling the World.

''{Homestar, with a white show suit over his shirt, jumps down and knocks Strong Sad and Marzipan off the stage.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and dancing with his legs rapidly moving}'' Just take those old glasses off the shelf...

''{Fireworks go off in the background to the tune of 'Old Time Rock and Roll', then a cut to Strong Bad sitting at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Rudkin Shampoo. Someteen Days of Glory! And after the closimonies, most BadAthletes immediately begin filming product endorsements while their names are still fresh in our minds.

''{Cuts to Strong Bad sitting in a kitchen with a box of cereal and a bowl.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, wipe my brow. ''{he swipes sweat off his face}'' Winning gold medals ''{he holds up one}'' takes a lot of hard cereal, and dedication. That's why I eat ''{hold up box}'' Temporarios! The official cereal of athletes you won't remember in two weeks! ''{cuts to a shot of the box and bowl of cereal with two gold medals hanging off the side of it}'' Temporarios, ''{speech bubble comes out of box}'' "Cuz I'm Don't Get Paid!"

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Athlon" in "strong badathlon" means "contest" in Greek (αθλον), and is found in the names of such events as the [[Wikipedia:biathlon|biathlon]], [[Wikipedia:triathlon|triathlon]], [[Wikipedia:pentathlon|pentathlon]], [[Wikipedia:heptathlon|heptathlon]], and [[Wikipedia:decathlon|decathlon]].
*East Germany, or the [[Wikipedia:German Democratic Republic|German Democratic Republic]], was a [[Wikipedia:Communism|Communist]] state that existed prior to the fall of the [[Wikipedia:Berlin Wall|Berlin Wall]] and dominated several Olympic events, in part because of their athletes' prolific use of [[Wikipedia:Steroids|steroids]].
*Olympic athletes often rely on product endorsements for income due to [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games#Amateurism and professionalism|Olympic amateurism regulations]].
*[[Wikipedia:Kenya|Kenyan]] athletes are noted for dominating the sport of [[Wikipedia:distance running|distance running]].
*The "clean and jerk" is a part of [[Wikipedia:weightlifting|weightlifting]].
*Though the next Summer Olympics weren't until 2008, many Olympic-style competitions had been held around the time this email came out.

===Trivia===
*Before The Paper comes down, the words "Side Words" can be seen on the side of the Temporarios box.
**This is also visible when Strong Bad first holds up the box.
*This is the first occurence of [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad makes up his own olympics to answer some moron."
*This email marks the premiere of Homestar's new half-bent legs with rounded knees (see top image). Previous versions had pointed knees up until this point.

===Remarks===
*The Poopsmith being entrant Number 2 refers to a euphemism for [[Whatsit]].
*The audience for the ending closimonies consists of (from left to right) Homsar, The Poopsmith, The Cheat, and Strong Bad, silhouetted in the foreground.
*Coach Z says "record" in the sentence, "Holy gorsh! It looks like a new record!" without his normal accent.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's arm disappears briefly when he wipes the sweat off his forehead.
*There's a white spot on the "O" in the "don't" during the product endorsement.
*In the Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-out-of-Beating event, Homestar's athletic pants and upper body (except the head) face the same direction at all times, but his legs face toward the viewer. They only match each other when Homestar first walks in and when he is knocked into the air.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Temporarios.png|thumb|"Cuz I'm don't get a closed quote!]]
*The [[Mottos and Slogans|slogan]] for Temporarios cereal, "Cuz I'm don't get paid!" was originally missing the closing set of quotation marks (see right); this was quickly [[:Image:Temporarios fixed.png|corrected]].

===Glitches===
* The blue oval on the Temporarios box is supposed to contain the words "For Eating!" but this doesn't render in Flash. In Ruffle, the words render in a default fallback font, extending past the edges of the box.

===Inside References===
*Cableman Jorge was Strong Bad's [[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|alias]] in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]].
*"Someteen days of glory!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], where [[The Ugly One]] has a "Sweet Someteen Birthday".
*Guitars and lasers is possibly a reference to [[new hands]], where, near the end, Strong Bad laments not having chosen guitars and laser guns as possible prosthetics.
**Additionally, the lasers replacing Strong Bad's hands are the same style as the laser that replaces one of his hands in an Easter egg in the same email.
*[[Cherry Greg]] wins the Remote Put with 11 points.
*The "GOOD" medal references the "GOOD" ribbon awarded in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*[[Minor Foods#Temporarios|Temporarios]] is another instance of invented [[breakfast cereal]].
*The music for the commercial at the end is the same as the [[Schenectady Crispies]] Easter egg in [[labor day]].
*After Strong Bad gets disqualified from "The Remote Put," he yells "Check the East [[German]]'s [[pants]]! Check the-".
*Closimonies and Temporarios are [[portmanteaus]].
*This is a reference to [[bad sportsmanship]].

The song lyrics were changed in this commercial (and sung by The Chipmunks) to "Just take those old glasses off the shelf / Get down to Hardees and help yourself / Those other glasses ain't got the same class / I want an Alvin and the Chipmunks glass".
*"Rudkin Shampoo" is a reference to the actual brand Redken Shampoo.

This action was subsequently repeated by the [[Wikipedia:U.S.S.R.|USSR]] and 14 of their [[Wikipedia: Eastern Bloc|Eastern Bloc]] partners at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics claiming that the safety of their athletes could not be guaranteed.

Octan: More accurate descriptions of the redesigns

{{cleanup|A filmography category?}}
[[File:Modern The Field.png|thumb|200px|The Field]]
'''The Field''' is just a plain, grassy field in [[Free Country, USA]] where various [[Toons|toons]] take place. [[Homestar Runner]] confirms that the objects in the background are indeed bushes and not hills in [[Flash is Dead!]]. It is the home of [[The Stick]]. There also seems to be one or two [[telephone pole]]s which are used mostly to [[Hanging Objects#The Field|hang signs]]. In [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], it is directly connected to [[Strong Badia]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the [[Gremlin]], [[the brick wall]], and the [[Snap Shak]].

==Evolution==
The Field is rarely consistent between any two toons. It usually looks slightly different than in its last appearance. Sometimes it goes back to an earlier design. It is flipped horizontally in some appearances. It has also had several stylizations, which can be seen below.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! width=200px|Image !! width=12%|Info !! width=8%|Created !! width=12%|Appearances !! What's Changed?
|-
| [[Image:FirstField.png|200px]] || This is the first design. || July 1996 || All appearances from [[Original Book]] to [[The Reddest Radish]] || The Field's style changed in nearly every toon between [[Original Book]] and [[The Reddest Radish]]. Sometimes the colors were brighter, and sometimes the grass and sky were more detailed. However, all of these styles had something in common; there were no bushes.
|-
| [[Image:SecondField.png|200px]] || This is the second design. || c. 2000 || [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]; [[Theme Song Video]] || This is the Field's first consistent design. Swirly clouds are sometimes seen in the sky, and slightly lighter streams of clouds are also visible. There are brighter colors and visible blades of grass. In [[Theme Song Video]], the outline is colored instead of black to match the updated animation style.
|-
| [[Image:OlderestestField.png|200px]] || This is the third design. || c. 2001 || All appearances from [[The Luau]] to [[i love you]] || There are now bushes in the background. The blades of grass are no longer visible. While none can be seen in this image, swirly clouds are still seen occasionally.
|-
| [[Image:The Empty Field Of Green.png|200px]] || This is the fourth design. || c. 2002 || All appearances from [[The Interview]] to [[isp]]; ''[[more armies]]''; ''[[imaginary]]'' || The bushes have more detailed shading and overlap the grass, which is also shaded. The streams of clouds are blurry. The swirly clouds stopped appearing in 2002, appearing for the last time in [[invisibility]].
|-
| [[Image:The Field Welcome Back.png|200px]] || This is the fifth design. || July 2006 || All appearances from [[Weclome Back]] to [[bike thief]] || The bushes have soft shadows under them. The streams of clouds are thinner.
|-
|[[Image:FieldDifferentSky.png|200px]] || This is the sixth design. || September 2007 || [[bike thief]] || The stream of clouds is more curved. Brightness emanates from the center of the background. The shadows under the bushes are gone.

This design was used only once before it was changed to the next design.
|-
|[[Image:Pizza Joint The Field.PNG|200px]] || This is the seventh design. || September 2007 || [[pizza joint]] || The colors are brighter and the bushes are more realistically jagged and bumpy, as well as once again appearing to be behind the horizon line. The streams of clouds have gone back to being thinner and less curved, but are also are less pronounced.

This design was used only once before it was changed to the next design.
|-
| [[Image:Modern The Field.png|200px]] || This is the current design. || October 2007 || All appearances since [[business trip]] || The streaky clouds and gradient sky (originally from [[Drive-Thru]], see below) have returned.
|}

===Other Stylizations===
These stylizations have only been used a few times, and do not quite count as evolution.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! width=200px|Image !! width=12%|Info !! width=8%|Created !! width=12%|Appearances !! What's Changed?
|-
| [[Image:FluffyPuffField.png|200px]] || This was primarily used during the fourth Field design. || 2001 || [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]]; ''[[marzipan]]''; ''[[imaginary]]'' || The bushes are completely round semicircles, and there is more shading on the ground.
|-
| [[Image:DriveThruField.png|200px]] || This was used during the fifth Field design. || March 2007 || [[Drive-Thru]] || The bushes have a flatter, more cartoonish look with streaky clouds and a more realistically blue gradient sky. This is the only time the bushes are brighter than the ground. The streaky clouds returned in the eighth design.
|-
| [[Image:NewSkyOldBushesField.png|200px]] || This was primarily used during the fifth Field design. || May 2007 || [[DNA Evidence]]; [[Main Page 24]]; ''[[Record Store Day]]'' || A combination of the fifth and seventh designs; it uses the fifth design's bushes and the sky from [[Drive-Thru]] (which was later used in the eighth design).
|-
| [[Image:IndexField.png|200px]] || This was used during the current Field design. || December 2020 || [[Index Page]] || The bushes are more consistently oval-shaped. There are no outlines; each bush is instead separated by a line of shading. The sky is four shades of blue, separated by curved lines. Brightness emanates from the center of the background.

This is the only time the ground has veered off in a direction rather than staying straight. This is also the first time since [[invisibility]] in 2002 where swirly clouds can be seen, albeit drawn more simplistically.

The latter makes its way to the center of the screen and zooms in to cover the complete viewing area.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{turns to the camera, and starts speaking very statically and detached}'' Hi. I'm Coach Z.

''{Zoom in on Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' And the makers of this commercial have asked me to speak in a more toned-down voice.

''{Quick zoom in on the coach from another angle}''

'''COACH Z:''' As coach of world-champion hustlers and try-harders, ''{He holds up a trophy marked "HUSTLE", and a medal inscribed "You Tried!", and puts them down within a few seconds}'' I've cram-packed these—

''{Cut to a whitish-gray screen, where 18  VHS boxes marked with the instructional video's packaging stack up. The initials "VHS" appear, and letters fly in from the right to make the initials now say "Video Hustle Series".}''

'''COACH Z:''' —nineteen 'VHS' cassette tapes, ''{cut back to Coach Z}'' with all the secrets to step-by-step sports instructional videros ''{pronounced as "vid-ee-air-o-s"}''.

''{Cut to Homestar at The Field, the edges of the screen tinted white. He turns around and speaks to the viewer}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to an orange background, where blue tapes marked with the tape number and titles like "TAPE FOUR: the fundamentals" (showing a basketball player punching someone in the face), "TAPE NINE: advanced techniques" (showing a baseball player hitting a catcher in the head with his baseball bat), and "TAPE FOURTEEN: training tips" (showing a tennis player preparing to hit a rabbit flying through the air) float around the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' The fundamentals! Advanced techniques! Training tips! ''{Four tapes marked "THE JOCK- part one", "THE JOCK- part two", "THE JOCK - part three", and "THE JOCK- part four" stack up on each other, each one depicting a jockstrap}'' And a some lot more!

''{Cut to the Athletic Field where Homestar (in his "Team Kneepads" shirt), Strong Sad and The Cheat are standing behind three tires and three baseball gloves. A folded sign with "DRILLS" on it is present in front of The Cheat's tire. Homestar, Strong Sad, and The Cheat start to lean forward, pat their butts, and jump about in a 'warm-up like' fashion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' My butt-patented system will get the results ''your'' youngster needs to not get made fun of out on the fierld.

''{Cut again to reveal Homestar standing around in a similar fashion to before, only at the Athletic Field, slowly zooming in with white borders. He turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, wearing a blue baseball cap, standing in front of an orange background with "This Pr&hearts;duct" repeated on it (in a similar way to the [[Index Page]]). The logo of the video is hovered in front of his cap very awkwardly and doesn't match his movements.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This product is a product ''I'' endorse. ''{Makes a punch-like gesture at the viewer, pausing awkwardly for a second, before gesturing towards his hat}'' On my hat.

''{Cut to Homestar in The Locker Room, white borders. He turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to a [[Charts|pie chart]] over a blue background, "HUS 75%", "T 16%", "L 6%" and "E 3%" are marked as so on the chart.}''

'''COACH Z:''' My whole deal's backed up by ''{A green pie-chart piece reading "extra 10%" is dropped onto the chart}'' actual scientific findings— ''{Text reading "!!!!" appears, with a line connecting it and the new green pie-chart piece}''

''{A horizontally rotating wireframe model of a human figure appears on the screen.}''

'''COACH Z:''' —and this rotating computer graphic, so you ''know'' it's legit! ''{"100% Rotatey" appears on the screen, with a line connecting it to the rotating figure}''.

''{Cut to the Locker Room, where Homestar, glistening with sweat and with a towel around his shoulders, is being interviewed. Microphones marked "Sporto TV" and "Sports Mics Inc." are held up to him, and TV bugs containing the text "LIVE-ish" and a logo for "VSTV - Vague Sports Television" are also on screen. Flash photos are being taken.}''

'''REPORTER:''' ''{off screen}'' Homestar Runner, ''you'' just won the sports, how you diddat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{out of breath}'' Well, we just brought our A game, you know? Everybody stepped it up out there, ''{wipes sweat off brow with towel}'' and then we stayed within ourselves, and decided that it would be a good strategy to try and score more points than our opponents within the allotted time. ''{sudden enthusiasm, holding up Coach Z's intructional video}'' Thanks, Coach Z's 110% Hustle for Sports Instructional Video!

''{Cut to a blue background, with 5 of the videos stacked among each other, a flashing "CALL NOW!!", and the price of "$59.95*". Below them is the text "We Accept:", followed by four credit cards}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' Coach Z's 110% whatever machine! Only $59.95 plus shipping and handing, or free with proof of VCR-have ''{The text "*Free with proof of VCR-have" appear at the bottom}''.

''{Cut to a black background, slowly zooming in, with bright lines moving around randomly. Homestar appears again, back to the camera. He turns around, sporting a mustache, and speaks to the viewer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut back to the "pricing" screen, where "CALL NOW!!" is still flashing.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the video with the visible cover to see another Strong Bad promo.
*:''{The footage of Strong Bad from the main toon is shown again, the only difference being that Strong Bad's hat now reads "[[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People|sbcg4ap]]".}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' This product is a product ''I'' endorse. ''{Makes a punch-like gesture at the viewer, pausing awkwardly for a second, before gesturing towards his hat}'' On my hat.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The entire toon is a parody of low-budget [[wikipedia:Infomercial|infomercials]] from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The cheap special effects, such as the streaking boxes and the floating logo on Strong Bad's cap, were very common back in the days of analog video production (since they didn't require any extra equipment to do, in most cases), and infomercials of the time made constant use of them.
*The abbreviation "VHS" stands for "Video Home System".

===Trivia===
*All four different [[credit cards]] read "5555 555 555" as their card numbers.
**The one to the left reads "plastuique" on a diagonally striped blue/white/red background.
**The next one is green, reads "$$$" on it and has a circle at the top left corner.
**The third one reads an orange "[[Portmanteaus|plascardo]]" on a gray fill card.
**The one to the right reads "VCR" on a card that resembles a VHS cassette.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Call Now!! Coach Z's 110% Hustle for Sports Instructional Video."

===Remarks===
*Though the ad says "Call now!", there is no phone number listed.
*Coach Z says there are 19 VHS tapes, but only 18 are shown.

===Inside References===
*One of the exercises Coach Z demonstrates is [[butt-patting]].
*This is another instance of [[poor acting]], with almost all characters speaking in monotone or cheesy voices.
*This is another appearance of [[Team Kneepads]] (although [[Homsar]] is absent).
*The picture of Coach Z painted in the field is the Fightin' Coach Z from [[One Two, One Two]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Sad smiling]].
*Homestar is seen sporting a [[mustache]] at the end.
*The inclusion of "110%" in the title is a reference to [[Yearbook_Character_Page#Coach_Z|Coach Z's Yearbook Page]].
*"Sports and practice", "hustle for sports", and "you just won the sports" are [[nondescript nouns]].
*The tape comes free with proof of [[Hyphen-have|VCR-have]].

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens in the Field. Folly enters and looks toward the camera.}''

'''FOLLY:''' For the next April Fools' thing, why doesn't it do, like, there's a picnic...

''{A rolled-up picnic blanket appears and unrolls itself.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and there's like... and there's a bunch of food in it...

''{An apple, a sandwich, a bag of "CH'P", a second sandwich, and a pie appear on the blanket.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and a picnic basket...

''{All the food moves together and a basket appears around it.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and... ''{considers}'' then Bubs is like...

''{Bubs appears next to the basket.}''

'''FOLLY and BUBS:''' ''{both waving their arms}'' Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!

'''FOLLY:''' And then Homestar shows up and says "blah"!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then Strong Bad shows up and says "blah"!

''{Strong Bad flies in from over the bushes in the background and lands on the blanket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then everybody shows up and says "blah"!

''{The camera cuts back a little to show all the other main characters standing nearby.}''

'''ALL BUT FOLLY, BUBS, HOMESTAR, STRONG BAD, and THE POOPSMITH:''' Blah!

''{Cut back in so those characters are offscreen. Homestar and Strong Bad are no longer present.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then Bubs is like "I'm closing the shop! Nobody's buying this picnic!"

''{Bubs disappears into the basket, and the blanket rolls up around the basket and disappears.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then, and then, and then there's a loading sign...

''{Scene cuts to a loading screen, using the same drawing style and colors as Folly. The letters of "loading" grow and shrink in sequence.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and it loads for, like, one hundred seconds, and then, and then... and...

''{A timer appears under the "loading sign" and counts the seconds.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover, apparently unsure how to continue}'' ...and it loads for one hundred seconds, and th—... and then it's like... and... and then it... and then... and then it's like... ''{the audio repeats:}'' and it loads for one hundred seconds... and th—... and then it's like...

''{As the timer reaches "00:25", abrupt cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is in front of the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rhythmically}'' If I can't check my email, then how I'm supposed to live my life? ''{brings up an email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
what do you do to keep up your personal 
motivation and inspiration? 
Sincerely, Mollie B.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the greeting as "Dingle Dongle dear Stringle Bongle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that is a waste of a perfectly good middle "B" initial, Mollie! Lemme fix that for ya! ''{edits the name to:}'' Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowdwerworth Gruelmanger ''{rhymes with "anger"}''. You know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers. ''{moves his cursor down next to the prompt}'' There we go. ''{typing}'' For motivation, I do what any great coach does, and berate myself until I get results or until I quit the team and press charges!

''{Cut to the locker room, as Strong Bad shouts into a mirror:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And I'm sick of losing to Purdue!

''{Cut back to show Coach Z standing nearby, twirling a jock strap.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that fella really knows how to mortavort a porson.

''{Cut back to the Lappier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There's also that weird jocked-up thing of punching yourself in the face to get motivated. But unless you happen to have boxing gloves for hands, I wouldn't recommend it.

''{Cut to Strong Mad sitting at a table next to a glass of orange juice.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CAN DO IT, STRONG MAD. ''{pounds the table}'' YOU CAN TALK TO ORANGE JUICE!

''{He winds up his right fist, aimed at himself. Strong Bad leans in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, Strong Mad, wait—

''{Strong Mad punches himself in the face and falls offscreen. Strong Bad winces as he lands. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you can afford it, no force is more motivational than...spiky ceiling that closes in on you!

''{Cut to the basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Sad is holding a video game controller and looking panicked, as Strong Bad coaches him and a spiky ceiling slowly descends over them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better beat this end boss or we're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{frantically hitting buttons}'' Aah! It keeps making me jump when I'm not pressing juuuuuuump!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' OR WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIII—

''{One of the spikes pokes into Strong Bad's head. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' As for the inspirasche, you know how people always say, ''{mockingly}'' "inspiration sneaks up on you." Well, I like-a to turn the tables!

''{Cut to Bubs in his Concession Stand, waving his arms back and forth. Strong Bad tiptoes behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I sneak up on people and force ''them'' to inspire ''me!''

''{Strong Bad peeks around the side of the Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I'll just continue doing what I was just doing, and...

''{Strong Bad jumps out in front of Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! Mlg— leg boats!

''{Strong Bad lowers his eyelids, unimpressed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leg boats? That all ya got?

'''BUBS:''' Er, yeah! It's like a little boat that your legs go inside of!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's a kayak.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. For while you're standing up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's water skis.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, yeah. 'Cept it's called "leg boats".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not inspiring! ''{starts to walk off}'' Guess I'll just walk away and ''{quickly jumps back} {rapidly}'' no I'm not just kidding INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! File!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah?

'''BUBS:''' Um... folder...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeeeeah?

'''BUBS:''' ...shaped vitamins?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that's inspiring!

''{Cut to a bottle of "Smarty Juice File Folder Shaped Vitamins".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yes, File Folder Shaped Vitamins: because office workers lead hollow lives, and this is the kind of thing they'd be into.

''{A few "vitamins" appear. A different tagline appears under the bottle: "Great for the break room or maybe a desk drawer!". Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see Madam Chowdygruel, if you know the right techniques, you too can motivate and inspire gimmicky white-collar products that they sell in the checkout line at the office supply store. Oooh! Which just inspired me to think of—

''{A page slides in from the left, covering the screen. Several advertisements are visible, including an ad for the vitamins and, next to it, an ad for "File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrive!!", with a picture of a USB thumb drive that looks like a red vitamin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrives! Available in never show up on your desktop ''{text is added underneath the drive reading "*Never show up on your desktop"}'' and some-the-times show up on your desktop ''{another purple thumb drive appears with text reading "*Some-the-times show up on your desktop"}'' varieties!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Always be'sing and do'sing!

''{Cut to the computer room, showing Homestar sitting on a boulder next to Strong Bad's desk, turned away from Strong Bad with a concentrated face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing! Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er... Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking back at Strong Bad; normally}'' Yeah, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're in my house.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup. ''{closes his eyes and nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeppers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaand you brought a boulder.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not me. Plate tectonics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping up}'' What are you doin' in here, man?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{swings his legs around to face Strong Bad}'' Well, I heard you talking about motivation and inspiration, and I decided to brush off my old ''{stands up}'' ABD's!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Aloud But Deadly?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You don't know about the ABD's, Strong Bad?

''{Several seconds pass as some white noise plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering, aside}'' I'm just gonna stay silent in the hope that you won't tell me what it means.

''{The noise stops and instructional music starts as Homestar brings down a screen labelled "smawtboud", reading "The ABC's of the ABD's: '''A'''lways '''B'''e'sing & '''D'''o'sing".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eyelids lowered}'' You say that like it clarified anything.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sits down, resting one leg on the other}'' Rules for an inspired life, Strong Bad. No matter what you do, or where you are, ''{stomps with each word except "and"}'' always be's be'sing and do'sing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you started a cult.

''{music stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shrugs}'' Yeah, kinda. For instance, I am currently be'sing on this boulder ''{lifts his legs and swivels them back and forth}'' and I am do'sing an ABD workshop with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, okay. Then ''{music restarts}'' I am be'sing ''{curls fists in front of himself}'' full of rage, and do'sing a roundhouse kick to your face!

''{Strong Bad jumps toward Homestar, leg outstretched. He stops in midair as Homestar starts speaking, then drops down to the floor. The music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cheesing and choosing. ''{music restarts}'' The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good life advice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! And that's a perfect example of cheesing! You're a textbook case, Strong Bad. Textbook! Aaand speaking of textbooks, don't forget to purchase my new book at the upcoming...

''{Cut to a blue screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{these words appear in the upper left:}'' Always Be's Do'sing ''{these words appear in the upper-right:}'' 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar ''{a logo for Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center appears at the bottom}'' at Bubsmfort Inn and Suites Conference Center!

''{The Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center logo moves off the bottom of the screen, while the words "cheesing" and "choosing" take its place}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Rid yourself of damaging cheesing and choosing ''{red X's appear over those words}'' with guest speakers—

''{The lower words are replaced with silhouettes of Homestar, Bubs, and Strong Bad in dark yellow boxes}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —including Homestar Runner, ''{Homestar's name appears as he fades in}'' founder of the totally-not-cult-like— ''{a red label reading "60% Less Culty" appears over the corner of Homestar's portrait}'' —ABD movement!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Changin' attitudes with rhymin' platitudes!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Entrepreneurial be's do'ser, and self-made do's be'ser, Bubs!

''{Bubs's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm stickin' with leg boats!

''{A yellow label reading "Not Kayaks!" appears next to Bubs's portrait.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the creator of File Folder Shaped Vitamins and File Folder Shaped Vitamin Thumb Drives, Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' I hope the hotel's breakfast bar can do omelettes! ''{smiles wide, as a blue label reading "Hungry!" appears over the corner of his portrait}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' All this and more at the Always Be's Do'sing 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar!

''{The screen darkens and goes out of focus as Homestar pops up over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you're not attending, you're gonna be... lending. ''{unsure}'' Your neighbor... a... yard tool... like a shovel. Or a rake. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. ''{quickly}'' See you at the conference! ABD! Not a cult! Wooo! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{The commercial comes back to focus as the CGI Paper comes down.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' C-G-eeow!

''{After a few seconds, cut back to the "loading" screen, the timer now reading "00:95".}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' and... a... and then people might think it's gonna be loading forever...

''{The timer hits "00:100" and then immediately cuts back to Folly and Bubs in the field.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and then it's like... ''{considers}'' Stinkoman comes up and punches Bubs in the face.

''{Stinkoman walks up to Bubs, suddenly becomes muscular, shouts, and punches Bubs into the distance. As he disappears into the sky, the words "happy april fools' day" appear in the "loading" font.}''

At least I'd think that might be feasible (if we can automatically decompile a set of flash files). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:55, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

== Main Page Messages ==

I'm surprised to see that the [[Main Page Messages]] font isn't listed here. It looks like it's always the same font so I came here to look for it. I've {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Fonts&diff=535380&oldid=534658 added}} it to the TODO list. If anyone with Font magic can add it, (that means '''you''' [[User:ACupOfCoffee|ACupOfCoffee]] ;) ) I'll be much obliged. When done, I want to link to it from [[Main Page Messages]] since I think it would be good information to have on that page. For the curious, of course. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:It's Potrzebie. It's already on the fonts page. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:36, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
::Ah! Good eye! Thank you very much! My initial text searches had been fruitless. I don't know why I didn't try "main page". I've linked the font with the [[Main Page Messages]] page and vice versa. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Swears ==

The name of the font that is used for the word "CRISP" during [[candy product]] contains obvious profanity. (It can be found {{inlinecontentwarning}} [http://tinyurl.com/2rmp2l here]) How can we appropriately document this font? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno this is a tough one. We could abbreviated as P.A.B. or "Punk A** B***H" (maybe with less asterisks). Too bad we don't have forum-style spoilers buttons, cuz to reveal the actual name we'd have to create a new form of information hiding (rollover reveal, white text, or something else). Alternatively we could anchor link to the bottom of the page and have the content warning there. However, before proceeding i think it would be good to hear the input of other established users. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
::Maybe "pUNKDONKEYFEMALEDOG"? =] I was wishing we did have some kind of "reveal the text" method as you described. I know it's possible to do mouseover effects, like here: pUNKA**B****. But I believe that that particular method doesn't work in all browsers. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Nope, doesn't work in Firefox. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

:I think you should just type it out and put a warning at the top of the page like "there might be naughty words on this page that'll make you blush". Maybe something better than that, but I think it's a good idea. [[User:75.175.146.9|75.175.146.9]] 18:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
::We could use the {{t|censored}} template. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't really think that's a good idea. {{tl|censored}} is for pages that have several words of profanity in them requiring an uncesored version. This is only a single instance making that version overkill. As for your span-linked (pUNKA**B****) version of the hoverlink, I don't think this is an effective solution either. There is no notice that the uncensored version is a hover link. People who'd like to see won't know what to look for and people who don't may accidentally see it. If there was a notice, then this method might not be as necessary. Then again we could have a notice that said "hover here for uncensored version", but there's still the issue of accidental hovers. The spoilers version I suggested was the ones on bulletin boards where you have a button (in this case it would say "click for uncensored version") and clicking the button would magically show the goods. But that one would require some mediawiki extension, clever ninjaing, and of course, permission. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

== Finding Fonts ==

Let me paint a hypothetical scenario, then make a suggestion. Let's say John Doe happens onto the [[Fonts]] page and remembers that he once saw a toon that had some kick awesome font in it that he had always wanted to find to download. But, alas, upon doing a sweep of the page for the toon name, he finds it not! Discouraged and disheartened, he swears vengeance upon Trogdor and ends up getting himself killed. To prevent this tragedy, I suggest a [[Fonts by Toon]] article (or something similarly-named) wherein we might document every font used in each toon (but NOT with images for each one). I'd be anticipating separate tables for each type of toon, something like:

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! # !! Email Title !! Fonts Used
|-
| 1 || [[some kinda robot]] || Westminster, VOY DOT LCD
|-
| 2 || [[homsar]] || Stencil BT, Westminster, VOY DOT LCD
|-
| ... || ... || ...
|-
| 123 || [[origins]] || Andy, Arial Black, Bauhaus 93, Calisto MT, ComixHeavy, Futura Md BT, Glitch0, Impact, Jenkins v2.0, Jokewood, Times New Roman, VOY DOT LCD
|-
| 124 || [[secret recipes]] || Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold, AhnbergHand, Bauhaus-Thin, Bernard MT Condensed, blacc_.ttf, Glitch0, Mercurius Script MT Bold, Odessa LET, Showcard Gothic, SignPaint HouseSlant, ThereSignHead1, ThereSignHead3, Times New Roman, Warnock Pro Light Caption, VOY DOT LCD
|}

Yes there would be some repetition, but it would be much easier to find a desired font that way. And [[Fonts]] would continue to exist, but could, perhaps, be adapted to describe each font and its typical usage (with a handy image) rather than to document every time a font appears and what it says each time. Good idea? Bad idea? I'm willing to do a lot of the work. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

:It's a very good idea. It would also take a lot of effort. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
::'Tis a VERY effective idea, yet I would have to agree with Lapper, it would take alot of effort and time. {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 23:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm not worried about the effort/time. How about the name of the article, though? And the format? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Temporarily located at [[User:OptimisticFool/Fonts By Toon]]. Collaboration welcome. (Intro intentionally written to sound lame; someone please help my lack of article-writing talent.) =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
::::You know I was gonna suggest that this would be perfect for some form of the automated script I suggested [[#Gaslight|above]]. Of course I'm not sure if the font information is easily avaialble in flash files or not. However, I noticed OptimisticFool's page and it looks rather exhaustive for the entries it has. Did you do it by hand or use some form of automated scripting (or are you just using this page's information?) An automated way would be great since the script could provide extra information for other pages such as [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]] which gets outdated fast. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::Nothing automatic about it, but it isn't difficult to do "by hand". I start by individually opening each email (in order) until I have about 50 open in "Flash Decompiler Trillix by Eltima Software" (demo). (To do that with sbemails, I've just kept the URL <nowiki>"http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.swf"</nowiki> copied to the clipboard, then paste it and type in just the email # each time; I'm sure it will be a bit hard with toons, shorts, etc.) The Flash file shows which fonts are a part of each file and I type those names into the table, deleting the Flash file out of the decompiler each time I complete the list of fonts for that file. One exception so far is sbemail29 which also has the font "Tw Cen MT" but there is no text in the sbemail that uses that font. That email is also unique in that all of Strong Bad's typing is done employing what the Flash file calls "shapes". It's clearly still from the font Westminster, but I feel that "fonts that are shapes" should somehow be differentiated from the rest. I'm sorry to say that TBC do this frequently enough that some fonts may be impossible to find and really will need to be compared to other fonts to determine what they are, since the Flash file gives no clue. One example is the "Here Comes The Thnikkaman" text. No idea what font that is. Also, product names are often done using shapes, like "[[School Paste]]". Again, no idea what font that is. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Correcting Lies ==

Hi OptimisticFool (and anyone else involved in fixing this page), I wanted to ask about {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=next&oldid=538927 this edit}} and edits like it (not counting {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=538967&oldid=538966 these}}): this edit shows the sample removed from the list but no information correcting it (and I didn't see a request for finding its correct name). Have these been corrected somewhere? If so where? The reason I ask is while you may have an efficient system that works for you, if you want other people involved, more documentation and checks will be necessary. (I intend to put some information on [[HRWiki:Projects]] regarding this effort later on). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
:I should have done better about explaining the removal, I suppose. I'll do better. I removed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=next&oldid=538927 this] because the font is actually Rounded Informal. I guess my attitude was, "This is wrong and therefore never should have been added, and I'm working to get everything documented correctly elsewhere (first), so why not just delete the thing?" If you have other specific edits you have questions about, let me know. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

== New fonts page ==

The page that was developed at [[User:OptimisticFool/Font Name List]] has now replaced the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&oldid=547783 old Fonts page}}. In merging the two pages, I adjusted the timestamps of the new page so that they all came after the timestamps of the old page; that way, there is no overlap between the two histories (the two pages were being edited concurrently during the development of the new page), and thus it is easier to see diffs between revisions of the respective pages. I preserved the timestamps of the revisions of the new page in the edit summaries (listed in UTC). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for getting that move done. A strange thing is happening, though. It seems to have to do with my edit on 1/20/08 to the original [[Fonts]] article. I don't know how to explain it, other than to have you see what happens. Go [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=536631&oldid=535848 here] and click "Next diff" and take note of the difference in dates. Something equally odd happens by clicking "Next diff" from [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=next&oldid=536182 here]. I just ain't wiki-smart enough (or wiki-powerful enough) to know what's wrong (or to be able to fix it). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
::No probalo. The issue you mention is a known bug that happens when histories are merged. It has to do with how the software decides what the "next" revision is. I thought deleting and restoring the whole page would fix it, but alas no. At least viewing the history is nice and clean. (Those diffs are what the history would look like if I hadn't adjusted the timestamps.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I didn't add it cuz it was Furuta Lt BT '''Light''' and not ''Furuta Lt BT'' thus likely making them slightly different.

If not what are the differences and are they significant enough to warrant removal and/or the search for a better sample? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
:Web sites don't always list the name of the font as it appears after installation. Words like "Plain" and "Regular" are often thrown in for example, but don't actually appear that way in Wordpad or whatever. I check every link I put on the page to make sure its name appears correctly after it's fully installed, and I'll check your links as I go to make sure they are correct as well. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
::Listen, hey, I forgot to say thanks for the help. Even though you haven't been able to compare the fonts you're finding to any samples, I expect the ones you've found will have about a 99% accuracy rate and will save me a lot of time. Being able to just click a link to download a font saves me time on the searching side of things, plus I really find that plainlinks template (even as simplified as it is) to be annoying to type. (I can never seem to hit that equals sign on the first try, dang it!) Plus, it's one less thing to make sure I have typed right when I reach for the "Save page" button. So, really, thanks a million. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes 99% accuracy! That means I must find 100 links before one of them must fail! :S Well, I don't think that my accuracy rate will be that high but I'll do my best! I'll also be a bit more lenient when including links. Actually here's another quesiton: some fonts have "<nowiki></nowiki> plain 1.0" or "<nowiki></nowiki> 1.0" appended to them. Do you want links to those too? As for the {{tl|p}} template, it's really no big deal, you just have to establish a {{pl|l=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=rhythm rhythm}} with your fingers. :) I hope I'll resume work on it sometime later this weekend. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, anything with "regular" "plain" or version numbers are usually pretty safe to assume, especially since I'll be checking them as I go anyway. One big favor I'd ask is that you specifically let me know if you find a link to a font that I've already described in the table. I don't give up easily when looking for a link, so if you really do find a link that looks good, I'd like to make sure it wasn't one I passed on already because it was the wrong font. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

== Does Almost Count? ==

Does "almost" count in horseshoes, hand grenades, and fonts? Each Flash file clearly identifies font names as they appear in TBC's list of fonts, yet some of their fonts seem to be slight variations of otherwise easy-to-find fonts. For instance, TBC have a font called "Æ Systematic TT (BRK)" but the download sites I've gone through have this font that installs as "Æ Systematic TT BRK" (the difference being the lack of parentheses). Another example is "Keep on Truckin" which installs as "Keep on Truckin'FW" from the many sites I find it on. Recently, my attitude was "{{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fonts&diff=653630&oldid=652843 Meh}}", but I'm starting to change my mind. While these fonts are at least very similar, if not identical, and could easily be justified for use in creating authentic-looking fan stuff, they're just not THE fonts that TBC have. This means that, when opening a decompiled SWF (aka FLA) in Macromedia Flash, the program alerts the user that the're still missing the correct font. So, should we link to these fonts, or not? If we do link, do we do it differently.. explaining somewhere in the table when an individual link doesn't exactly lead to the actual font TBC themselves have installed? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
:I'd think almost counts, at least for something. We should get as close as we can, but if it's not the exact font, it should be noted in some way. More than an asterisk but less than flashing letters. (FWIW, in today's days I open my FLAs in ''Adobe'' Flash.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

== Linking ==

Wouldn't it be best to link to a single place where to find the fonts? Like maybe as many as possible to identifont or something. Also, a few of the links are dead (the first one I noticed was for Mr. Television). What to do about that?

I don't see the purpose of linking them in the first place. For one reason, as pointed out by the chap above me, it's messy. Links die, and there is no one site that has info/download for all of these fonts. If someone wants to download one of these fonts, they can find it themselves on whichever font site they want. This just seems really arbitrary. --[[Special:Contributions/184.56.45.155|184.56.45.155]] 16:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
:Just because links die doesn't mean there's no point in linking to them in the first place. I myself have used the links before. If the link gets broken, then yes, you'd have to do a search, or if you'd prefer to use their own site, then you can, but if we can save someone a step then what's the harm. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:09, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::It's not so easy to find the ''exact'' font TBC use since many times they have a rare slight variation of a font. If we link correctly, only the person that goes to all the effort (mostly ''me'') is the ''only'' one who has to go to all the effort. For the rest, it's a single click to get to the right site. And if a link dies, it dies. We'll remove the link or replace it when it's noticed. Also, one thing you may not know is that our intention is to link only to free fonts. Identifont charges, so it would not be ideal. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

All the Sofontes links seem to no longer lead to actual downloadable fonts, due to the offsite-hosted captcha being absent. Should we start finding other places to link to?

:You make a good point. A lot of "download free font" and/or "user-uploaded fonts" sites use pirated font files, and have a tendency to go under or have spammy/misleading "DOWNLOAD NOW!" ads on them. Besides, it's easy enough for someone to Google ''download AhnbergHand font'' or whatever without a link from us. I think a better approach would be to link to Wikipedia articles (like {{w|Arial}}) or official, paid websites (like [https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/baskerville-old-face/ MyFonts]) instead. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 04:36, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

::Got a start on the A (and a few other) sections, but am pausing for now as I'm second-guessing myself. Previous users like OptimisticFool did put in a lot of work to find the exact fonts used; but just because you CAN find a free font doesn't mean it's truly free - for example, [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/baskerville-old-face Baskerville Old Face] is ''supposed to be'' [https://www.fonts.com/content/microsoft-typography licensed from Microsoft], even if you can [https://www.sofontes.com.br/en/Baskerville-Old-Face/download/2958 find a free link] with ease. I do feel that only linking to Wikipedia is the "right" way to do things, kind of like how [[The Big Lebowski]] page links to Wikipedia and not a pirated stream of the full movie. I do suspect that TBC ''probably'' sifted through a bunch of 'free font' websites (heck, I've done the same) but I don't feel this approach is correct for a wiki. Besides, you can just go in the history of the page and find the links if you so desire. I know with the low activity the site gets that 'consensus' can be hard to come by these days, but I think another editor should weigh in before I continue. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 22:25, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I think that comment applies here as well; it doesn't matter how much time was put into finding a good number of these links, as they're links to illegally download fonts, and we shouldn't support piracy. I fully support keeping/adding links to ''official'' downloads and Wikipedia articles, however, as long as we can confirm if the former links are authentic. {{--}} [[User:Keegster2|Keegster2]] 23:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

This article provides the font names, making it easy enough to find a link to a free download if one so chooses. On a tangentially related note, I definitely can relate to getting partway through a project before second-guessing myself and pausing to ask for advice, having started replacing the {{t|stub}} templates on non-stub pages before suggesting that we should perhaps [[Category talk:Stubs|reconsider what a stub even is]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 03:54, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

:::If you're the one who removed all the links to DaFont and 1001 Fonts, you were right to have second thoughts. Pretty much everything on those sites is official. As a general rule, if either of those sites is the very first Google link for just the name of the font, it's actually freeware. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 01:48, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{Open on the Strongs' basement wall. A projector screen comes down and the lights dim. The first picture shows a person in a Strong Bad mask with a chef's hat, apron and oven mitts, holding an empty tray.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Aww, it's Baking Time Strong Bad! Er— you forgot to make me bake something. You can't dress up as Bakin' Time Strong Bad and not bake something awesome! You gotta bake up a batch of cinnamon...parched smidgens!

''{Eighteen small pastries pop onto the empty tray.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or maybe like, pineapple...part-side-out...problems.

''{The eighteen pastries are replaced with a splat by four pastries with half-slices of pineapple stuck in sideways.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Wait a minute. ''{the pastries disappear}'' Don't tell me you were making— ''{strained voice, slow music plays}'' Chicken? ''{A single chicken leg appears in the pan.}'' I-in a pan?

''{The next slide appears, of two people dressed as Coach Z and Bubs toilet papering a small object in a field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, it's Coach Z and Bubs! Toilet papering the crap out of The Stick! Or... ''{the following abbreviation appears onscreen}'' CZNBTPTCOOTS. For short. Cousin butt putt coots!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, that should be the name of our new band!

'''BUBS:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, it shouldn't!

''{The next slide appears, of a baby dressed as the Roucoulm, with an adult hand holding a torch with paper fire. Jibblies 2 music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh no! The Jibblies Painting has discovered how to adorably reproduce! ''{cut to a close-up of the child's face}'' Look at that sinister grin! At least it's not another Mr. Poofer—

''{The next slide appears, of a person dressed as Homestar Runner holding a white poodle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{screams}''

''{The Mr. Poofers story music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' What a great scrap of pantyhose stretched over an old wire coat hanger Mr. Poofers is. I mean, what a great dog Mr. Poofers is.

''{The music stops.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, confused}'' W-what?

''{The next slide appears, of a person facing toward a projector screen displaying Homestar Runner on the Homestar Runner website, while having a picture of Homestar on their back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's not a costume! Looks more like an elaborate prank. Y'know, like somebody taped a big cut-out of Homestar to somebody else's butt. Like one o' them "kick me" signs. You know, when they're walking around all day oblivious and everybody behind them is like, "Oh, look there's Homestar Runner walking backwards down the hall! That makes a lot of sense! You suck, Homestar Runner!" And then the person has no idea! Anyways, this is appropriate because I often refer to Homestar as the ''walking'' taped-to-your-butt "kick me" sign.

''{The next slide appears, depicting two people dressed in long-headed Homestar and cloth-masked Strong Bad costumes, with a volleyball painted with Strong Sad's face at the latter's feet.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pelican-head Homestar comes with everything you see here. Deflato-head Strong Bad and decapitato-head Strong Sad each sold separately.

''{The next slide appears, of a person dressed as Cranjegg}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa, it's Cranjegg! ''{a card with Cranjegg slides in}'' One of the Keepers of Trogdor from Trogdor the Board Game! It's so legit!

''{as Strong Bad mentions each item, it cuts to a close-up of the item and its card from Trogdor the Board Game briefly enters view.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's got That Dog Tennis Ball Thing 'cept with Fireballs! Ye Flask of Dennis! The Shield of Cumberdale! The tube of Old Man Rub!

''{cut to a close-up of the medallion}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And even an awesome Trogdor medallion that— a-a clock. ''{cut back to a wide view}'' Y-you're just wearin'— a broken clock. I need to get you in touch with—

''{The next slide appears, of a Super Trinket, a Disk of Healing, a Ring of Voip and a Trogdor medallion, on a cloth sheet. Cards for each of the former three enter the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' — this person whose costume was a bunch of awesome items of Trogdor that they didn't actually wear.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or talk to this young fella!

''{The next slide appears, featuring a person in a Coach Z costume.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Now that's a real Coach Z medalllllioraerlllllioren!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Are you finished?

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, I was finished years ago, Strong Bad! Coastin' on fumes, Coach Z is!

''{The next slide appears, with costumes of a burninated peasant, The King of Town, The Poopsmith, Marzipan, The Cheat, Homestar, and a child wearing a Strong Bad costume. Each has a paper mask with a set of eyeholes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ah, these whole-family costume affairs just warm my heart parts! And I see that you doled out costumes in inverse height-to-popularity format. You know, so, I'm the most popular, so naturally, I'm the tiniest, and the King of Town is the tallest because he's the worst. He's the ''worst''!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Say what you want, ''{cut to a close-up of the King of Town mask}'' I'm just excited to finally have nostrils!

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, me too! ''{a stream of blood drips down the eyehole on the right}'' Oops, I got a nosebleed.

''{The next slide appears, of a person with Stinkoman facepaint, a blue wig, a Stinkoman shirt and boxing gloves in a pumpkin patch.}''

'''1-UP:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, Stinkoman, have you discovered the true meaning of Halloween?

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' These wrinkle balls are orange and difficult! I cannot possibly punch them all!

''{Cheatball pops up in the background}''

'''CHEATBALL:''' Cheatball!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ha-ha-ha! Cheatball! I might have known! You ''are'' the round egg!

''{cut to a different view of the same costume in front of a sign depicting Snoopy. Cheatball is in front of Snoopy's head and the words "It's the Halloween Cheatball, Stinkly Brown" are written on top, with "Brought to you by" and a "Kingly Madison" logotype in the lower right.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' "It's the Halloween Cheatball, Stinkly Brown" will return after these messages. Are you sure about that? We wanna return? You don't... don't think we should... cut our losses? Welp, alright. Comin' back!

''{The next slide appears, of a person in a kitchen whose mouth is covered with an indeterminate black object}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Alright, what am I lookin' at here? Are you like, gagged somehow? And this is like a ransom photo?

''{The next slide appears: an alternate shot of the same person reveals the black object to be cannon-shaped, with a fuse in the back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa, somebody finally did it! It's ''{the drawing of Cannonmouth briefly enters the frame}'' Cannonmouth made real! ''{singing as music starts playing}'' Oh, here we go, it's Cannonmouth, check out this Cannonmouth costume. He seems pretty chill, actually, that his cannon's a mouth, his mouth is a cannon I mean. He's got a collared shirt and an ''{cut to a close-up of the air fryer in the image}'' air fryer. I hope he tried to air-fry ''{cut to the container of cheese balls on top of the refrigerator}'' these cheese balls. For some reason he's got ''{cut to the three-hole punch on the counter}'' a three-hole punch next to the stove!

''{The music stops, as it cuts back to the full picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, speaking}'' Seriously, what are you doing with that? You like, three-ring bind your crêpes or something? Ooh! You probably need to because crêpes are one of the few things you can roll up and shove in your cannon mouth! So you have to keep them expertly filed in a three-ring binder, y'know like, this one is for Nutella and bananas, and then these ones are for like, ham and cheese. That's a great idea, Cannonmouth!

''{The next slide appears, of a child in a Homestar Runner costume, with jagged shapes replacing the arms}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Alright, we got a decent star and a hat and propeller, and the mask is a good touch to represent his weird pointy underbite, but w- what's going on with his shoulders?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, those are just my shoulder shoomps.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Your what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' My shoulder shoomps, Strong Bad. You know, when my shoulders go like, "shoomp!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I don't remember that ever happening.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, it's all the time happening, Strong Bad.

''{Wipe to Strong Bad and Homestar talking in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, so I squangled my vertex, but he didn't seem to care.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Shoomp! ''{jagged shapes appear out of his shoulders}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screams}''

''{Cut back to the basement, where the next slide appears: A person in a robed Rather Dashing costume, with chickens visible in the photo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It's ''{a box appears with the following words}'' Svelt Young Rather Dashing: the chicken years.

''{The next slide appears, depicting a different person looking sad in a Scalding Lake t-shirt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh. And it's ''{a box appears with the following words}'' rather dashing: the these years... years.

'''TEXT BOX:''' "I don't like food anymore!" you mope soggily at the tire swing.

'''RATHER DASHING:''' ''{voiceover}'' I don't like food anymore!

''{The next slide appears of a Modestly Hot Homsar portrayer next to a large plush doll of Homsar in a rocking chair, in front of a snowman-themed wall decoration.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' And this little weirdo would have an elastic neckline to help him keep his pants up, you know the kind that is actually pretty tight so it leaves that weird indention in your waistline!

'''HOMSAR:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'm a blanket snowman in grandma's rocker!

''{The next slide appears, with a person with a foil spear and helmet and cardboard armor, running away from a spilled box of corn flakes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; a speech bubble appears with the following line}'' This spacious back deck with sunburst railing details and cafe dining set is no place for a mighty warrior!

''{The next slide appears, of a person in a Stingy Relenque costume, complete with a blond wig dotted in lights and a maple leaf-decorated shirt.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover, in a mock-French accent}'' Wa-hon-hon! It is a Stingy Relenque costume! ''{a picture of Stingy Relenque enters into frame briefly}'' My French Canadien villain from Dangeresque! ''{normal voice}'' So wait a minute. You expertly cut out a maple leaf shape, but none of you can seem to manage—

''{The next slide appears, of three people in Homestar costumes with misshapen stars.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a five-point star? Why I oughtta—

''{The next slide appears, of a kid in a Homestar costume with a regularly-shaped star.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! Oh thank you young man! What a well-executed star! I'm sure nobody around your neighborhood knew who the crap you were, still. Mrs. Blundissman was probably like, "Oh, look at you! You must be dressed up as the baseballm'n! Here, have some wax lips!

''{The next slide appears, depicting a person wearing an On Point Kings jacket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, how'd you get an On Point Kings jacket? I don't remember jumpin' YOU in as a member. Did you go through all the hazing rituals? Like eating three large gallon-of-milk pizzas in an hour, ''{three pizza boxes dripping in milk enter frame}'' drawing hillbilly teeth on sleeping Homestar, ''Homestar's cinnamon-bearded face, with a mouth with misshapen teeth and a tongue sticking out, enters the frame}'' and my personal favorite, bottle rocket chili cheese fries. ''{a basket of chili cheese fries with Fthoom-Bang rockets stuck in enters the frame}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or as I call 'em, chili... cheese fries.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You've shut up too much! In this one.

''{The next slide appears, of a person wearing a pith helmet and detective's jacket, miming holding a gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Are you supposed to be the guy from that game Where's An Egg? ''{the "Where's An Egg?" detective slides into frame}'' Why are you wearing one of them safari helmets? ''{cut to a close-up of the helmet}'' You couldn't even find a fedora? Or ''{cut to the empty hand}'' anything to actually hold? Looks like you've got an invisible banana in there— Oh, wait! ''{cut back to the wide shot}'' You're dressed up as the detective from the unreleased sequel: ''Locate Banana''!

''{An image on a TV screen of "Locate Banana" appears, depicting the Where's An Egg detective with clothes of similar color to the cosplayer. The next slide appears, depicting a costume of a peasant being burninated by Trogdor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ah, it's a rare treat, when I just can't make fun of a Halloween costume. Look at that perfect Trogdor. "V"s so consummate you could slice 'em with a chipe. Wings so wingaling they lift me off the ground. And arms so beefy I want to throw a piece of Colby-Jack on there and put it on a brioche bun.

''{Cut to an advertisement for a Blubb-O's burger with a beefy-arm-shaped patty, cheese, pickles, and a sesame seed bun.}''

'''BLUBB-O'S ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yes, come the crap on down to Blubb-O's and try a Trogdor the Burgernator. Colby-Jack cheese melted over a beefy-arm-shaped burger, served on what we're calling a brioche bun so we can charge an extra two dollars.

''{a burst appears, reading "$2 more'n you thought!" The next slide appears, with a Strong Bad with appendages coming out of his mouth, a snowman made of cardboard boxes onto which is taped a picture of Strong Sad's face with a carrot in his mouth and a Post-it with a top hat drawn on, and a person with a Homestar shirt carrying a tray of Yorkshire puddings, each with a small Homestar face printed on paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Someone did it! Someone actually did it! The experiment was a success! Okay, quick recap. Last year, somebody dressed up in a super-detailed costume of some really obscure crap that I said one time. ''{a picture of the previous year's Dangeresque: Cyberthymez costume, and the drawing it was based on come into frame}'' So naturally, ''{the pictures exit the frame}'' I decided to push the boundaries, you know? Strong Bad's always pushing them boundaries. So, I just said a few random phrases ''{Strong Bad's Tweet from the previous year, reading "Tentacle mouth Strong Bad, cardboard box snowman adjacent to Homestar Runner with a Yorkshire pudding condition." appears}'' and thought we'd wait until this year to see if anybody dressed up like that. And here we go!

''{cut to close-ups of each item in the image as Strong Bad says them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Tentacle-mouth Strong Bad! Cardboard box snowman! Adjacent to Homestar Runner with a Yorkshire pudding condition! Look at those little pudds!

''{The next slide appears, with a person in a Strong Bad costume with tentacles replacing the bottom half of his mask and holding a bucket decorated with a rainbow wig skull saying "Jam on it!", a snowman made entirely out of brown cardboard boxes, and a person in a Homestar mask in a kiddie pool with yellow sheets.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa! Someone else did it? And even better! Now ''that's'' how you make a tentacle-mouth Strong Bad! That thing's horrific! And look at that hardcore cardboard snowman! And then... there's the slight matter of a kiddie pool full of sheets as substitute for Yorkshire pudding but we can overlook that. 'Cause man, look at those tentacles! I want 'em so bad! So ''{the previous slide appears}'' these people win for actually making Yorkshire puddings, but ''{the kiddie pool slide reappears}'' you people win for basically everything else. But the experiment must continue! I gotta up the difficulty for next year!

''{Cut to Strong Bad at the Lappier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' How 'bout... ''{typing}'' "Drone footage, ''{stops typing}'' ah, that's a good start... ''{typing}'' mecha-Strong Sad, and a cost/benefit analysis of the import/export of potash." ''{types "edgartweeterhands.exe"}'' Tweet! Alright, citizen scientists. Get to work!

''{With a smack, the last slide appears. The caption "There's too many good ones! We cannot possibly punch them all!" is written above a collage of costumes: a person in a The Cheat hoodie wearing a glowstick necklace and holding another glowstick next to a person in a Strong Bad costume; another person as Strong Bad holding a Talkin' Strong Bad plush toy and in front of a wall-mounted canvas with a picture of Homestar Runner; a third Strong Bad costume with a muscular-looking vest, in a photo taken outside; two peasants and a person in a Trogdor helmet; a person dressed as D n' D Greg holding a D&D essentials kit on a sofa; a person dressed as Strong Bad dressed as Beetlejuice; a person in a white "soft serve flip" beanie with a light grey hoodie, grey sweatpants and grey slippers; and another Strong Bad with a papier-mâché mask and gloves, next to a painting of the Atari Dragon approaching Strong Bad in the subway.}''

== Transcript ==

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Half-singing}'' Doot da-doo, doo, lotsa leaves, doot da-doo hmm...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sound Effects Man! Ooh-ooh! Do broken wheelchair. On cobblestone!

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

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

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

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

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

''{Marzipan walks in.}''

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

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

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

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

'''COACH Z:''' Harrpy Harrlaw— ''{The scene gets brighter.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{except Coach Z}'' HAPPY DAY OF THE DEAD!

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==

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

===Remarks===
*If you view the Flash file in a Decompiler or use the Flash Seekbar bookmarklet, it reveals that the stack of newspapers on the Loading screen reads "[[News Articles|Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!]]", which is the same newspaper Homsar holds up in his scene.
**When Homestar holds up the "In Unrelated News" newspaper, the stack next to him also reads "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
*Three different characters in this toon (Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homsar) play fictional characters of real comedians who were associated with ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]]''.
*Sunlight doesn't turn [[Wikipedia:Gremlins|mogwai]] into gremlins; it kills them. Eating after midnight is what triggers the transformation.
*The sky is shown to be lit shortly after 5:42 AM on November 1. In the United States, [[Wikipedia:Sunrise|sunrise]] occurs later on that day, but in some locations twilight would have begun by that time.
*This is the first major Halloween special not to include [[opening credits]].
*Homestar's newsboy get-up includes a pair of suspenders, which may indicate the presence of pants.
*Homestar wears both a basketball jersey and a pair of suspenders in this cartoon, two items of clothing that cannot be worn without shoulders.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Newspapesgoof.PNG|thumb|Man, newspaper editors have ''got'' to fix that printing machine!]]
[[Image:Hahahalloweengoof.PNG|thumb|Not even Coach Z's sleeve can resist those orange and black flavored loose tooth remover candies!]]
*When the opening credits newspaper appears, the picture is off the paper for three of the frames of spinning.
*On the opening credits newspaper, there is an extra space between "ARE" and "the" in the sub-headline "These ARE the opening credits"
*On the same page, a small piece of the pumpkin in the back is orange.
*When Coach Z first appears when Homestar is laying out candies, the second to last orange candy seems to disappear when it should only be partly obscured.
*In the scene where Coach Z is imitating a wheelchair, the candy Homestar dropped on the ground in the previous shot is still visible, now in mid-air, and appears on top of Coach Z's arm.
*Every time Coach Z's head changes direction, so do the tiny crescents in the pattern on his hat. This is most obvious during the wheelchair impression scene.
*After Homestar's close-up during Coach Z's wheelchair impression, the last candy in front of the box trap, a black one, has disappeared.

*The Halloween candies are out of scale; the ones in the back are bigger than the ones in the front.

===Glitches===
*At the end of the toon (if you clicked The Poopsmith to activate the Homsar egg), if you click on Strong Bad, Marzipan, The Cheat, or Strong Sad, Homsar still shows his scroll-over information while another character comments on their costume. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.

===Inside References===
*The scene at Bubs' Concession Stand follows the same format as Bubs's scenes in [[Senorial Day]].
*''[[Periodicals|The Local Newspapes]]'' was also the name of the newspaper Strong Bad was reading in the email [[candy product]]. This newspaper also appears in the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] movies.
*Bubs's do-it-yourself Halloween Night hovercraft kit is a [[Hollerin' Jimmy's]] brand, which Bubs previously sold in the email [[lackey]].
*The way Homsar's head sinks into his body is similar to that of [[The Homestar Runner]] in one version of [[Kick the Can]].
*At the end, Homestar [[What are you supposed to be?|compares]] Strong Bad's costume to his [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|2001]] Halloween costume, [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats Costumes#Strong Bad|Carmen Sandiego]].
*Strong Bad is seen holding a [[Smoking|cigarette]] at the end of the cartoon.
*Strong Mad shakes the Goblin, causing objects to fall. He previously did the same thing to Strong Bad in the email [[do over]], causing change to fall.
*This toon features [[eggs]].
*Orange and black-flavored candies were previously mentioned in [[Malloween Commercial]]. The candies in this toon previously appeared in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Eggs as fruit was mentioned in the email [[colonization]], where an old-English kind Homestar declared "Eggs not to be fruit".
*The page title and Strong Bad saying "Ha-Ha-Halloween night" is a reference to [[Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween Comedy Club]] in the 2004 Halloween cartoon, [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*The newspaper that says "These ARE the opening credits!" could be a reference to the shirt that Homestar wears that says "This '''is''' my costume!" in [[Malloween Commercial]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad calling The Cheat a Monchhicheat is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Monchhichis|Monchhichis]].
*"Jam on it" is a reference to the song of the same name by [[Wikipedia:Newcleus|Newcleus]].
*Strong Bad's witch mask is identical to Lucy's from the [[Peanuts]] cartoon [[Wikipedia:It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown|It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown]].
*The ending screen with the picture of Homestar's skull is reminiscent of the artwork of [[Wikipedia:José Guadalupe Posada|José Guadalupe Posada]], who also made artwork regarding the Day of the Dead, and was a heavy influence on LucasArts' [[Wikipedia:Grim Fandango|Grim Fandango]].
*The description of this cartoon on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] reads: ''Ween night is M.I.A. Galang galang.'' [[Wikipedia:Galang (song)|"Galang"]] is a hit single by [[Wikipedia:XL Recordings|XL Recordings]] artist [[Wikipedia:M.I.A. (artist)|M.I.A.]]
*The line "We be jammin'" is referencing [[Wikipedia:Bob Marley|Bob Marley]]'s [[Wikipedia:Reggae|Reggae]] song "Jammin'".
*"Night Vision Goggles" are goggles that enhance the user's vision so as to be able to see better at night.
*When Homestar calls Coach Z "creepy sound-effects guy," Homestar may be referring to [[Wikipedia:Michael Winslow|Michael Winslow]], famous for his talents showcased in the [[Wikipedia:Police Academy (film)|Police Academy]] movies.

===Fast Forward===
*The loose tooth remover candies show up again in [[Haunted Photo Booth]].

==DVD Version==
*The Homsar Easter egg is enabled automatically.
*All of the ending Easter eggs play automatically. They are played in this order:
**Strong Bad
**Marzipan
**Strong Sad
**The Cheat
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The video does not show who is dressed up as who at the end, unlike on the website.
*As the gang shouts, "Happy Halloween!", two mouse-like clicks are heard in the background.
*Instead of cutting to the group shot after the end title, it fades through black to the shot. During the fadeout, the teeth on the Homestar skull disappear.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''MATT:''' I'd like to welcome back Ryan Sterritt.

'''MIKE:''' What's up, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' How does it go?

'''MIKE:''' This is a cartoon that I'm pretty sure I haven't seen since the day we made it.

'''MATT:''' Nice. Look - Strong Bad's wearing Lucy van Pelt's witch{{--}} witch mask.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I totally, uh, didn't remember that. It's a nice looking mask.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Where do you think those suspenders s{{--}} attach at the bottom there?

'''MIKE:''' Where do you think they go in the ''top''? It looks like they just kind of go into his chin!

'''MATT:''' Maybe it's just like those tuxedo shirts.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's just all... it's a t-shirt, it's just got it printed on 'em.

'''RYAN:''' People still wear suspenders and belts at the same time. It just seems...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I remember{{--}}

'''RYAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It seems{{--}}

'''MATT:''' The punk rock kids in school would do that, and you'd just be like, "Come on, like, if you're gonna do that, don't wear a belt."

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. I saw a guy at a wedding over the weekend. Uh, an older guy.

'''MATT:''' Mmm-hmm.

'''RYAN:''' An oldie. ''{Mike and Matt laugh}'' And he, uh, had suspenders and a belt. I didn't see the point.

'''MIKE:''' I always like it when I see people wearing suspenders that they're ''actually''... you can tell they're ''really'' holding their pants up.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Like if they didn't have the suspenders{{--}}

'''RYAN:''' It seems like it might be a second, uh, form of defense from your pants falling down.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Yeah, go ahead.

'''MIKE:''' I was just going to say that I think Pom Pom as, uh, Mario Batali is one of, uh, my favorite costumes.

'''MATT:''' I just am amazed w{{--}} with both him being Walter Sobchak from ''Big Lebowski'' and this one, like, how much he ''really'' looks like the person. Like{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' How Pom Pom can look like a human?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It's incredible. Like, more than just, like, "Oh, you can tell who he's supposed to be." It's like, no, no, no. He ''looks'' like Mario Batali.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh... this was{{--}} most people thought that most of the costumes were more obscure than usual.

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's{{--}}

'''RYAN:''' But it's like{{--}}

'''MATT:''' This Frida Kahlo is pretty...

'''RYAN:''' But that movie, had just{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' The kids don't{{--}} don't want to go see the Frida Kahlo movie, though, I suppose. ''{pause}'' Oh, I'm surprised we hadn't made Coach Z be Queen Latifah earlier.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That was one I'm surprised we hadn't thought of.

'''MIKE:''' Umm{{--}}

'''MATT:''' He's wear{{--}} she{{--}} he's wearing her outfit from the "Ladies First" video, I believe. I think we found{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' {{--}}found the video on YouTube and mimicked her weird African emissary... ''{Mike laughs}'' costume that was her theme for that album.

'''MIKE:''' Our friend, uh, was it Tyler that made a{{--}} a... CD of Halloween sound effects?

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Where he was doing his own Halloween sound effects. ''{Ryan laughs}'' Something about bats. He's like, "A roooom of bats" and then he would just go... ''{Mike makes a sound effect of bats' wings flapping}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, look at the creepy{{--}} the creepy forest!

'''RYAN:''' The lost{{--}} the spooky forest.

'''MATT:''' The Lost Forest. Oh, do it! How{{--}} ''{begins singing}'' do do doo, do do doo, do do do do doo, do do ''{Ryan joins in for a few notes}'' do do do, do do do dooo. ''{pause}'' Umm... ''{pause}'' Oh! That is not scary at all, Goblin. The Goblin was wearing a pair of Jams.

'''MIKE:''' Clearly. I think I had one pair of actual Jams, and then lots of Mom{{--}} Mom made us...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ...would just go buy, like, Hawaiian fabric at the fabric store and make us Jams, and...

'''MATT:''' Yep.

'''RYAN:''' ''Fleece'' Jams.

'''MIKE:''' I remember getting called out on it. "Those are not Jams, Chapman!"

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Chapman!" ''{pause}'' I like that the King... has that half, uh... steering wheel. What do you c{{--}} Whatever you call that... boat steering wheel. Port{{--}} port{{--}} portmanteau?

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

'''MATT:''' Hey, it's Ed Grimley. Didn't you... dress up as Ed Grimley one time? Not ''for''...

'''MATT:''' You dressed up as him on vacation?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think it was in a hotel room.

'''MATT:''' Good job!

'''RYAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Awesome.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Looks like we didn't re-do those graphics from when we first made them in 2001.

'''MATT:''' Those caramels?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or taffy, whatever it is. ''{pause}'' Umm.. I s'pose, uh, what's the Poopsm{{--}} the Poopsmith's costume, I guess, is pretty obscure.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. ''Wizards''.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Necron 99, they call him.

'''MIKE:''' And Strong{{--}}

'''MATT:''' Tony{{--}} Tony Clifton and, uh... and... Father Guido Sarducci, I feel like, are both sort of in the same...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ...both in the same era.

'''MIKE:''' If you know one, you know the other.

'''RYAN:''' ''{partially over Mike's previous line, but not synchronous}'' If you know one, you know the other.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' I forget, people don't know The Maxx.

'''MIKE:''' I just saw The Maxx in one of those old video game magazines...

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Uh...

'''MATT:''' Is there a Maxx game?

'''MIKE:''' No, they{{--}} I think they just had a little segment on, umm, ''Liquid Television'' or, like, MTV's animation.

'''MATT:''' Ah.

'''RYAN:''' Was it Image? Who put out that comic?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think that was one of the early Image ones. ''{pause}'' The McGuirk is a pretty inspired one. That's one of the more modern... costumes. Like...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ...a lot of times it's not from something so recent. Not that ''Home Movies'' hasn't been off the air for...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ...a few years, but... ''{pause}'' I like this, umm, Homestar Day-of-the-Dead style.

'''MIKE:''' I like the bread and butter pickles song.

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' Got some bread and butter pickles. ''{pause}'' Umm...

'''MATT:''' That's insensitive. An insensitive comment to women... with, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Unibrows?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Unibrows. And peach fuzz... on their lip.

''{pause until Strong Sad begins to comment on The Cheat's costume}''

'''MATT:''' No! Technically it should be melting him, right? Doesn't sunlight ''kill'' the gremlins? Water and food turn them in{{--}}

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{Stinkoman pops up from behind the viewer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programmed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English. It was previously uttered in [[Main Page 17]].
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.
*A [[Wikipedia:Slush fund|slush fund]] is a reserve of money set aside for illegal or dishonest purposes.
*Strong Bad calls Strong Mad "Red Square", referring to the [[Wikipedia: Red Square|Red Square]] in the [[Wikipedia: Soviet Union|Soviet Union]].
* A [[Wikipedia:Kill screen|kill screen]] is when a video game is played to a certain length (particularly to level 256 in most arcade games) and crashes or freezes, preventing further game play. This is merely the result of a bug or glitch, and is not caused by the score of the game as Strong Bad claims.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[computer room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.
*In 2010, in celebration of [[Trogday (holiday)|Trogday]], the PC version was made available for free for the whole day.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his fists clip through the couch.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high", but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn, they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans (one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*When Chorch runs into Stinkoman, Stinkoman loses all four of his energy units instead of just one.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.
*When used in the fight against the Ultimate Trogdor, Gel-Arshie claims that he can't be burninated because he's inflammable. However, inflammable actually means the same thing as flammable.
*Homestar remarks that his favorite Olympic hero competed in the "1982 Winter Olympics". There were no Olympics held in 1982, as both the Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same year until 1994. Since the Olympics were held in 1980, the next Olympics weren't until 1984. Furthermore, the hero in question competed in the shotput, typically a Summer Olympic Event.
*The trophy resembles the [[Atari Dragon]]'s chalice.
*This episode is unusual in that in Extended Play, all the [[main characters]] mysteriously disappear (except of course, for Strong Bad, and The Cheat in the Photo Booth).
* Homestar is strung up in Trogdor's dungeon by his [[Lack of Visible Arms]].

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.
*The credits subtitle for Stinkoman says "THE POOPSMITH" for a second before he reaches the vertical center.
*One of the emails will still be marked as unread even after Strong Bad reads it.

===Glitches===
[[Image:SnakeCrateGlitch.png|thumb|Those are some dedicated snakes!]]
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4. This is acknowledged in-game when clicking on the washer; Strong Bad says that Strong Sad is still washing the costumes from Dangeresque 3.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedestal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.
*The crates [[Marzipan]] throws are clickable, and they have the same effect as the crate next to the path. Using the [[Snakes]] on the Marzipan's crate have the same effect, even after it's been destroyed by Snake Boxer. Attacking the snakes with Snake Boxer again will make the EGA hat cutscene play again.

===Inside References===

*Stinkoman and Strong Bad previously met in the email [[alternate universe]], and Stinkoman also previously appeared in Free Country, USA in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].

*References to the first four SBCG4AP episodes include:
**The [[Taranchula]] standee that Strong Bad "fights" in [[Strong Badia the Free]] returning, but without the fire and ice heads.
**Homestar stating that quarters taste like butterscotch, like he did in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] when the hole in the [[Strong Badia|Strong Borneo]] fence is examined in extended play.
**Strong Bad talking about the [[Fluffy Puff Jela-Ton]] he won during the Race to the End of the Race, a reference to [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**When Strong Bad collects the [[scorpion]] food, he sings, "Puttin' scorpion food in my pants; hope I don't get stung!", echoing his singing "Puttin' bat hutches in my pants; hope I don't get bit!" in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**When the Limozeen [[The Space Machine|Space Machine]] picks up "Marzy-Kong", [[Larry]] exclaims, "Oh, crap! It's that crazy lady from the Battle of the Bands!!" as another reference to [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**Strong Bad mumbling, "[[Rhinofeeder]]", which he also mumbled in the beginning of [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**Trogdor claiming that he can't handle Strong Bad's style, which Strong Bad said that nobody could in [[Homestar Ruiner]], unless they are a pretty lady.
*The introductory narration is similar to the one used in [[fingers]]. The announcer of said introduction also appeared in the same email.
**The word "People" is mispronounced as "Peppel", which was previously heard in the [[coloring#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[coloring]]. It specifically refers to a possible color name that The Brothers Chaps discuss.

*[[Mr. Shmallow]] can be seen on the Pineapple Gun.
*Upon entering the Peasantry area, Strong Bad will remark on the game's status as "the best-selling video computer TV game of all time", as it was previously referred to as in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
**Likewise, the music from the trailer plays as background music in Peasantry and at the final battle, and Rather Dashing speaks exactly as he does in the trailer.
*The [[wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]] [[scorpions]] from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] return in Halfathlon.
*In addition to the four historical figures, the puzzle wheel in the Videlectrix Mainframe depicts Trogdor, the [[Jhonka]], [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]], and [[Kid Speedy]].
*The loading screen for the first-person segment reads "Get [[SBLOUNSKCHED]]!", a reference to [[candy product]].
*In Extended Play, when trying to get ye flask, the text on the bottom reads "[[seriously]], get ye flask".
*When Chorch gets angry, he says he will make Stinkoman wish he was never born. This phrase was mentioned in Chorch's description in the [[Stinkomanual]].
*Clicking on the pennants in Extended Play will show a credits sequence that mentions [[Cherry Greg]], [[A. Chimendez]], [[Lem Sportsinterviews|"Lem" Sportsinterviews]], [[Douglas]], [[Levert Burtmore]], [[The Deke]], and [[Dennis]], along with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]].
*The "ultimate" form of Strong Bad was mentioned numerous times during the production of SBCG4AP, namely the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] and the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]]. Strong Bad complained numerous times about [[Telltale Games]] not using the "concept art", explaining Strong Bad's remark of "Whoa! They ''finally'' listened to me!"
**The concept art appears again during and after the credits.
*The final cutscene has an instance of [[couch mumbling]].
*Homestar previously ate coins (albeit more deliberately) in [[do over]].
*Homestar mentions his [[hremail]]s in one of the hints he gives.
*When Strong Bad first enters Stinkoman 20X6, he says, "Now I want to be the guy too.", paraphrasing [[1-Up]]'s line in [[japanese cartoon]]: "Everybody says you're the guy. But I wanna be the guy too!"
**Another reference to the same email is made when collecting Stinkoman's robot boots. Strong Bad paraphrases the line about what Stinkoman K would be about when he says, "Now I can totally fly around in space in cool action poses!"
*On the title screen and during the credits, the music is an instrumental version of [[Please Stop Trying To Handle My Style]].
*The 8-bit lantern resembles the one in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Strong Bad tells Strong Sad to "shut up [[nine times]]".
*The dual inclusion of the Roman helmet and Old Timey [[Free Country, USA]] background in the photo booth may refer to an Easter egg in [[high school]].
*When Stinkoman is defeated by Browntant and Chorch, he says "You made my stummy hurt!" This is a reference to the game over screen of Stinkoman 20X6.
*[[Homestar]] says that [[Coach Z]] bet him a "moist Benjamin" that he couldn't catch Lucky George in his mouth, which is a reference to [[shapeshifter]].
*Strong Bad calls Gel-Arshie his "bromide", which is what he called Homestar in [[bike thief]].
*When Homestar acts like a pop-up ad, he mentions [[low rates]].

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms. Pac-Man|Ms. Pac-Man]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
**Marzipan also throws crates continuously, similarly how Donkey Kong throws barrels continuously.
**Like Donkey Kong, Marzipan has a hostage (in this case, Bubs). Donkey Kong's hostage was Pauline, a precursor to Peach.
*When approaching the lake, Homestar will refer to various fruits and "power dots", the collectible items in [[Wikipedia:Pac-man|Pac-Man]].
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].
*Some of the games depicted on the Awesomeness screen are [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]], and [[Wikipedia:Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]].
*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, as well.
**Strong Bad's annoyance at Homestar's appearances reflects fan criticism of Navi's purpose.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of [[Wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Hitler]].
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machine guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
*The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
**Strong Bad mentions "the one where some real-world kids get sucked into a video game". [[Wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]] was a cartoon on [[Wikipedia:NBC|NBC]] from 1989 to 1991, about real-world teenager Kevin Keane being pulled into a video game world based on several popular NES titles.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to a similar scene which uses the same quote in the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword, the Sword of Omens, albeit with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking along in regular clothing during the daytime. Then, a nighttime background scrolls onscreen, stitched right onto the daytime background. As the trio cross the [[Wikipedia:Terminator (solar)|terminator]] into nighttime, they get changed into their costumes (with a slight slurping noise) as the opening credits roll: "Halloween Fairstival" / Spoken By Matt and Missy / Maken By Mike and Matt / Here go the first scene... 
''The three characters stop beside a telephone pole with an orange flier stapled to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right boys, it's Halloween night, what we gonna do?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come again?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's wrong there, Philly Cheat-steak? You got-a some Hiccups?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, you picked the perfect night to have them. We shouldn't have a problem scaring those hiccups out of you on Halloween. Let's see what's going on tonight. ''{zoom in on the flier}'' There's gotta be something scary.

''{Zoom closer in on the section of the flier reading "Coach Z's Haunted Locka-room".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, that's perfect! I've seen some stuff in that locker room that would scare more than just the hiccups out of you, let me tell ya. Let's check it on out!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

''{Cut to a haunted locker room with a dark screen and green gas along the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You scared yet, The Cheat? What about that drippy towel over there? That's pretty scary, huh?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a mock-scared voice}'' Oh no, please don't drip on me!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You smell like shin guards!

''{The Cheat hiccups. Coach Z appears.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Crackity towel! Tommy John surgery!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat}'' Coach, we're trying to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got anything that's not just gross and moist?

'''COACH Z:''' ''{holding up some Blue Star Ointment}'' What could be scarier than Blue Stair Ointment?! ''{moves it around as if it were a ghost}'' Aawooooeeeeorrrrre!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, this has gone from weird and kinda gross to a serious health risk.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's bolt.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey! You guys didn't even get your candy out of the terlet there!

''{Cut to Strong Sad under a banner that says "Strong Sad's Haunted Haikus".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reciting a haiku}''
:This night. Black as pitch.
:Doom from inside me wells up.
:Pray I don't get egged.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know or care what a Hai-oo-koo is—

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but we need to scare The Cheat.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, I got just the thing!
:Rapping at the door.
:Fills up agèd pillow case.
:So sick of Smarties.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I get it. Let me try one!
:A butt for a face.
:Little brother: dork, dork, dork.
:Stay out of my room.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm sorry, The Cheat, looks like we got to find some other way to scare the ever-loving hiccups out of you.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You don't ''scare'' the hiccups out of somebody! You gotta ''laugh'' 'em out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That sounds like a segue!

''{Segue to Bubs, against the side wall of his concession stand, under a neon sign reading "Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween Comedy Club". The first two Ha's take turns between being lit.}''

'''BUBS:''' I mean, seriously, people, it's the '90s!

''{Strong Mad laughs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Am I right?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''BUBS:''' Am I left?

''{Strong Mad laughs again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say, Bubs, your comedy club bears a striking resemblance to the side of your concession stand.

'''BUBS:''' Aww, that's rich. You know something else that bears a striking resemblance to something else?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunn—

'''BUBS:''' Women can't drive!

''{Strong Mad laughs again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Unh—

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —let's get out here, my bad pennies.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat leave.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS GUY CRACKS ME UP!

'''BUBS:''' And, airline food! I mean, humminah-what?

''{Bubs hits his head with his microphone. Strong Mad laughs again.}''

''{Cut to sign "The KOT's Verrry Halloween Related Turducken Bob"; pan to the King of Town beside a tub with three turduckens in mashed potatoes.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hurry, hurry, hurry! Before I eat it all! Step right up and get your Halloween on! Bobbin' fer turduckens!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as if reading one of his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]}'' Dear Oldie, Shut up! Your pal, Strong Bad.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Howdy, boys. Either of you got a wicked mashed potato jones?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Mashed Potato Jones. Now there's a fella I'd like to meet!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, we need to get rid of The Cheat's hiccups. You got any grody old man remedies?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Sure! You gotta feed and feed the hiccups until they mature into liver failure! And then...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're not trying to kill The Cheat! Don't ya have anything that could just scare him?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I have this X-ray of my heart.

''{The King of Town holds up an X-ray showing a [[ham]] where his heart should be, labeled "General Caveat Lower Eclusal". The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not scary. That's... promising! Come on, The Cheat. Let's let the King die in peace.

''{The King of Town's mask spins 180° into a sad face, like the Mayor of Halloweentown's.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yes. Let's.

''{Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith who are holding a silent auction in front of a sign reading "'Creeping' Silent 'Death' Auction".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up, no-talkers? Keep on... no-talking.

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan standing with a guitar next to a stall of fruit, labeled "A Chorus Of Autumnal Vegatables  Is In".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this mess?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ready, everybody? A-one, and a-two, and a-here we go! ''{Marzipan sings. The tune is the same as the theme song and scene transition music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is it! This is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good job, The Cheat! Now try harmonizing with the butternut squashes! ''{sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This might not get rid of the hiccups, but it's about to give me the throw-ups!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh yeah! Lay it on me, Mr. Corn!

''{Strong Bad makes vomiting noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears from behind a tree, on which is a sign reading "back alley dealings"}'' Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys guys guys! You guys...errrr...need some witches' brew? I got some right here. Two jars. Cold, hot, fresh witches' brew! Only ten bucks a pop! Side effects include wine, women, and song.

''{He holds up two jars labeled "brüe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witches' brew, eh? All right, we'll take one jar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here you go.

''{The Cheat drinks it and hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap! He's still got 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That'll be ten bucks! Please drive around to the second window!

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, okay... But, uhhh, can you pay us the ten bucks tomorrow?

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I'm good for it. I'll pay you the ten bucks right now!

''{Homestar gives the money to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

''{The Cheat hiccups.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I'll give you ten bucks if you stop hiccupping!

''{The Cheat stops hiccupping, says something, tucks the cash between the leaves of his costume, and exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Hey, Homestar! I'll give you ten bucks if you stop breathing!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okayyougotadeal!

''{Homestar takes a gulp of air and holds it for a couple of seconds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{panting}'' Strong Bad... I couldn't do it... for very long...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd try again. Ten is a lot of bucks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right, a lot of ducks!

''{He keeps trying during the fade-out.}''

*:''{He runs around the border while The Poopsmith and Pom Pom watch.}''

**If Homsar's scene isn't unlocked, Homsar will still appear at the end if Strong Mad is clicked. When the scene switches back to the group picture, Homsar will be there.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The reason Strong Bad has a mustache underneath his Joker make-up is that [[Wikipedia:Cesar Romero|Cesar Romero]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Joker (comics)|The Joker]] in the 1960s [[Batman]] [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|TV series]], had become famous as a suave Latin lover due in part to his "sexy" 'stache. He refused to shave it off when he got the part of the Joker, so in the show his make-up was applied over the top of it.
*A "[[jones]]" is defined as "an avid desire or appetite for something". Therefore, to "have a mashed potato jones" means to "crave mashed potatoes".
*A [[Wikipedia:Turducken|turducken]] is a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken.
*An "eclusal" or [[Wikipedia:Occlusion (dentistry)|occlusal]] is a term regarding the way teeth contact each other. It is mentioned to be a dental term in the DVD commentary (see below).

===Trivia===
[[Image:SignErrors.PNG|right|thumb|Before and after versions of the sign. Differences circled in red]]
*Although [[Witches' Brew|Witches' Brüe]] is a frequently mentioned inside joke, this is the first time it has actually appeared, as well as its side effects.
*The three items for sale by Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are:
**The [[blender]] from [[Main Page 19]]
**[[Credenza]] the ficus, brought back from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]
**The [[Trivia Time]] cookie jar
*When the orange sign first appears, it reads:
<blockquote>Halloween Festival 
featuring: 
Coach Z's Haunted 
Lockerroom 
Haunted Haikus 
w/ Strong Sad 
Bobbing for Apples 
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!</blockquote>
:However, when the sign appears again before zooming in on the Coach Z part, it reads:
<blockquote>Halloween Fairstival 
featuring: 
Coach Z's Haunted 
Locka-Room 
Haunted Haikus 
w/ Strong Sad 
Bobbing for <strike>Apples</strike> 
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!</blockquote>
*Differences:
**Festival to Fairstival.
**Lockerroom to Locka-room.
**Apples crossed out.
**No staples on before.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Strong Bad is trying to scare the the hiccups out of The Cheat."

===Remarks===
*Though Strong Bad claims not to know what a [[haiku]] is, he had previously used one in [[japanese cartoon]].
*When Bubs says, "Am I right?" he points with his left hand, and vice versa.
*This toon refers to Pom Pom "not speaking", even though other characters normally seem to understand his bubbles.
*Despite being a "terrific athlete", Homestar doesn't have a very large lung capacity. It seems to have grown significantly smaller since his [[Yearbook Character Page|Yearbook]] page.
*Coach Z's Tupac [[tattoo]] says "Thorg Life", which is "Thug Life" in Coach Z's accent.
*Strong Bad suggests that Homestar (not The Cheat) hold his breath, although this is a common hiccup remedy.
*There is an error on Strong Sad's sign. The plural of Haiku is simply "Haiku", meaning the sign should say "Haunted Haiku".
*In the toon, the Poopsmith is wearing a glove and holding a sword in his left hand. Afterwards, the glove and sword are in his right hand.
*The towel in the locker room stops dripping when Coach Z pulls out the Blue Star Ointment.

===Goofs===
*When the gang passes the day/night border, Strong Bad's eyes space farther apart and his crest and eyes become larger compared to his head. Also, the split second after they stop and turn around at the pole, his face shifts position on his head.
*When Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Strong Mad turn around to go to the "Haunted Locker Room" after they read the sign, the lettering on Strong Mad's [[Wikipedia:Detroit Pistons|Pistons]] jersey is [[Flipped Images|reversed]]. This is because instead of being redrawn for the new direction, Strong Mad's animation was simply mirrored.
*When Coach Z jumps out from the shower room, during the few frames that he is partially obscured by the doorway, there is a very thin gap between him and the edge of the doorway.
*When Strong Bad walks away from Bubs' comedy club, he disappears before he has walked completely offscreen.
**The Cheat also does this when he walks away from Homestar and Strong Bad at the end of the cartoon.
*In Marzipan's sign "A Chorus Of Autumnal Vegatables Is In", "vegatables" is spelled incorrectly. It should be "vegetables".
*When The Cheat drinks the "witches' brew", the jar appears full while he drinks it and for a few frames after he throws it. However, when he throws it away, it suddenly becomes empty in mid-air.
*When Strong Bad, Pom Pom, Marzipan, or Bubs are clicked on at the end, Strong Bad's right foot shifts slightly, then goes back at the end of the animation. Homestar's left foot also shifts, but this is less noticeable.

===Glitches===
*At the end of the toon, Homsar still shows his scroll-over information while the other characters comment on their costumes. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.
*As the gang exit the Haunted Locker Room and the scene begins to fade out, when Strong Mad walks past the puddle on the floor, the puddle overlaps his head.
*Towards the end of the toon, in the "Witches Brue" scene, Strong Bad will occasionally get a small black line above his mouth.

===Inside References===
*The candles next to Strong Sad in the haiku scene are from the séance in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
**Also, the orange candle appears in the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]] during the scene in which Strong Sad does tai-chi.
*The telephone pole that the flier is posted on also appeared in [[impression]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]].
*The page title quotes [[Marshie]] in [[Malloween Commercial]]. The full line is "Boogidy boogidy! I'll scare your dad!".
*Marzipan's blue dress is the one that she used for [[The Angel]] in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Homsar's "pumpkin" from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (an eggplant with a spoon taped on it) appears in an Easter egg (see above).
*Homestar mentions [[ducks]].
*This [[Halloween]] toon marks the second one in which Strong Mad dresses up as a sport athlete. The first one was [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed up as football player [[Wikipedia:William Perry (American football)|William "Refrigerator" Perry]]. It is also the second consecutive Halloween toon in which Strong Sad dresses as a musician whose first name is David and whose surname consists of five letters, starts with "B", and ends with "e".
*"Fairstival" and "Turducken" are [[portmanteaus]].

===Real-World References===
*The "...is in" sign hanging from the bandstand for the Chorus of Autumnal Vegetables is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Lucy van Pelt|Lucy van Pelt]]'s psychiatric help booth from the [[Peanuts]] comic strip.
*"Philly Cheat-[[steak]]" is a pun on the popular sandwich "[[Wikipedia:Philly Cheese Steak|Philly Cheese Steak]]".
*In [[A Decemberween Pageant]], Strong Mad dressed as [[Wikipedia:Los Angeles Lakers|Los Angeles Lakers]] star [[Wikipedia:Kobe Bryant|Kobe Bryant]]. In 2004, Los Angeles was beaten by the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals.
*The sign in the locka-room that reads "Don't go into the marsh!!!!" may refer to a similar sign in the Monster Plantation ride at [[Wikipedia:Six Flags Over Georgia|Six Flags Over Georgia]].
*Clicking on Pom Pom will cause Coach Z to say "Big Boy, eh? I was gonna go with André 3000 myself." [[Wikipedia:Big Boi|Big Boi]] and [[Wikipedia:André 3000|André 3000]] make up the [[Atlanta]]-based duo [[Outkast]].
*Clicking on Marzipan will cause Strong Bad to say "Hey Marzi... I just can't wait for you to get on the road again ... and get hit by a school bus." This is a reference to the song "On the Road Again" by [[Wikipedia:Willie Nelson|Willie Nelson]], Marzipan's costume choice.
*"My bad pennies" is the name The Joker gives his henchmen in the Batman episode [http://www.clivebanks.co.uk/Batman/Jokergoestoschool.htm 'The Joker Goes To School'].

*Clicking on Homestar will cause him to say "So I've got that going for me. Which is nice." This line is spoken by Carl Spackler, the groundskeeper in the film ''[[IMDb:tt0080487|Caddyshack]]'', whom he is dressed as.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''MATT:''' Joining us today is Ryan Sterritt...

'''MIKE:''' Ryan Sterritt, everyone! Give 'im a warm round...

''{applause}''

'''MIKE:''' ...of applause!

'''RYAN:''' Yes, thank you.

'''MATT:''' Ryan, did you make this DVD?

'''MIKE:''' So you made— you made this cartoon...

'''RYAN:''' I made ''all'' the cartoons.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. That's right. Oh, look... it's Caesar Romero.

'''MATT:''' Yes. The Latin Lothario.

'''MIKE:''' Did you— I still frequently get Sid Caesar and Caesar Romero mixed up.

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' When I see their names. Sometimes I think Sid Caesar was The Joker.

''{laughter}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Whaddaya think of that mustache, Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' I like mustaches.

'''MATT:''' It's been painted over.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' The thing that's crazy about that is I never realized it as a kid watching the Batman show.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it wasn't until...

'''MIKE:''' It wasn't until it came back in the '80s when the Tim Burton Batman movie came out that I was watching those and realized that, "The guy didn't even go through to bother shaving his mustache!" ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he refused. There was— It was like a big— there's lot's of stories about that. Where he was just, like, "Yeah, no, I'll be in that, but whaddaya— I'm not going to..."

'''MIKE:''' Shave it!

'''MATT:''' "... shave my mustache! Are you crazy?!"

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So is this—

'''MATT:''' Did you, uh, did you ever shower in your gym in junior high, Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' I did ''not''. I was very scared of it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, same here. I never did. There's a Freaks and Geeks where they— he makes them, remember? I'm glad I never faced that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''I'' did.

'''MATT:''' You did?

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Did you?

'''MATT:''' Well, yeah, cuz you played—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We had basketball practice at 6 a.m. before school.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' But, that being said, there were a few people that, even after basketball practice, would not, uh, shower before going to school.

'''RYAN:''' I remember a couple kids that showered in their tightey-whiteys.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs hysterically}'' What?!?!

'''RYAN:''' It was very funny.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um, look! It's... it's, what is that? Aladdin Sane, uh, album cover?

'''MIKE:''' I don't think it is.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I think Jamie Huggins dressed up as— in that same costume one year for Halloween.

'''MIKE:''' It may have been the same year I dressed up as Tupac.

'''MATT:''' It may have been.

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

'''MATT:''' Whaddaya think?

'''RYAN:''' Were you really Tupac?

'''MATT:''' Did you write "''Thorg'' Life" on your stomach or "Thug Life"?

'''MIKE:''' No, I... Craig wrote "Thug Life" for me. He did a very good job.

'''MATT:''' That's nice, Craig.

'''MIKE:''' That's a real— that tattoo in my mind was a— is a nice script, but it's really pretty crappy.

'''RYAN:''' Like, up close...

'''MATT:''' Like his acutal— in pictures of Tupac.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, like his actual "Thug Life". It's not like a nice, like gangsta, kinda script font that you'd expect it to be.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's just a...

'''MATT:''' Whaddaya think of Clarence Clemons, Ryan?

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' I think the... the earring is what really cements that costume, like you feel like you have no idea what it was, I mean, a lot of people probably still would— don't, but, like, you see that earring, and you're like, "Wait a minute..."

'''MIKE:''' Especially with the name. I think I— I don't think I would've known. Uh, 'cause what is it, "One of the Three Most Important People In The World" or something?

'''MATT & RYAN:''' ''{overlapping laughter}''

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. I love their idea of what the future of clothes is going to be.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, silver gowns, and you "float" on the wall.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Look guys, a turducken!

'''RYAN:''' We tried a turducken a few weeks ago.

'''MIKE:''' We just had a turducken 2 or 3 weeks ago.

'''MATT:''' That's right. Courtesy of Willie.

'''MIKE:''' And we added, what, 3 animals to it?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, you could have as many as 7 animals in one bite.

'''MATT:''' The King of Town would be ''way'' into that.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Wasn't the King of Town something else through part of this cartoon, and we changed his costume?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I can't remember what the original was, and then we thought of The Mayor from "Nightmare Before Christmas".

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' "Lower Eclusal"? Mike, those are— that's a dentistry term.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' "Bicuspid" is another one.

'''MATT:''' Right. Look—. So, how do you think the King pulled that off? Did he really spin his head around just now?

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' I'm very proud of that Lion-O Claw that I made.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I wanted to make a cartoon— I wanted to, like, make Thundercats cartoons after making those graphics.

'''RYAN:''' I remember this one, when it came out, people kept thinking this was Kumar from the...

'''ALL:''' "Harold and Kumar."

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''RYAN:''' None of 'em had seen "Bottle Rocket".

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Kumar, uh, I gotta get me one of those yellow jumpsuits, you guys.

'''MIKE & RYAN:''' ''{overlapping laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' So, this part, we did this first and Melissa sang that little song, and we made the song based on that little thing that Melissa sang.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was such a catchy tune she was— she was singing.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah.

''{short pause}''

'''RYAN:''' The eggplant is from an older one?

'''MATT:''' Yep. That only appears, actually, on the website, anyways. It only appears if you unleashed the Homestar egg— Homsar egg, rather. Sorry.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' What, I can't even remember what, uh, what's his character's name, Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack? I can't even remember.

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' I want to keep saying Walter Sobchak, and that's... that's not right at all.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' Well, we say it at the end of the cartoon, anyways. At some point, on the website.

'''MIKE:''' I think Homestar might be a little tall there.

'''MATT:''' Ahhh, he looks— uh, well— well, oh yeah. Compared to... ''{laughs}'' His head is on level with—

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad's hair.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Strong Bad's wig, yeah.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like the little suspicious man drawn on the "back-alley dealings" poster.

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

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he lets you know it's legit. These are— these are true back-alley dealings. That guy— look at this guy, with a hat, clearly lookin' around for trouble.

'''MATT''' Ah-puh.

'''MIKE & MATT:''' Ah-puh.

'''MATT:''' What is it? ''{stressing first syllable}'' "Ah-puh." Uh... "Hi-yah." and "High-ball."

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' "High-ball." This is another instance of "ducks".

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{imitates the background music}'' How long do you think he went on, guys? A while?

'''RYAN:''' Days.

'''MIKE:''' Days. I would say... until Thanksgiving.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' ''{quoting Homestar}'' "...which is nice." We wanted to— I always wanted to make a, uh, Easter egg for this, a puppet Easter egg, where we went to a— a pool and a pond and had Homestar Puppet with the little hat on going, "Poogle-pond, poogle-pond, poogle-pond."

''{short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey, guess what?

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' That was a quote from the same Batman episode that there's probably, at this point, 20 or 30 references to on our website.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Including the name of our company.

'''RYAN:''' I love that it's just all one episode, too.

''{unintelligible overlapping conversations}''

'''MATT:''' We love— we certainly have an appreciation for and are familiar with... y'know...

'''MIKE:''' Many episodes.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, lots of 'em.

'''MIKE:''' But there's one in particular that we know backwards and forwards.

Octan: /**/IT'S WHISPER QUIET!

==Transcribing Easter Eggs==
Why was some of the dialogue removed from the Transcript? I thought that easter eggs that required just sitting around and waiting were expected to be placed in the Transcripts. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 12:00, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

OK, since nobody has answered this query, I've done some looking around on the Wiki and have now become quite confused. Apparently, while the official transcription policy says that all easter eggs are not to be transcribed, quite a few old sbemail transcriptions contain the transcripts of Easter Eggs that require you sit at your computer like a good boy and wait, including the transcripts for [[caper]], [[theme park]], [[cartoon]], [[the process]], and [[lunch special]]. So, which is it now? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 17:23, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

:We transcribe everything. The non-clickable eggs (just sit there and it happens) go in the Transcript, the clickable ones go in the Easter Eggs. This was kind of discussed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki_talk:Standards#Since_when_do_we_not_transcribe_easter_eggs.3F here], but never really gone over.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:01, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

::That's what I thought. Restoring the axed text now. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 18:16, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Good E-mail ==

I think the Bros. have finally come out of their slump. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Best email since long time -- PS

== I bwoke it ==

Sorry. I made a mistake. I put just Strong instead of Strong Sad on trivia. Yous guys can edit it. -Kinsey

== Song ==

What's up with Homestar's song?

:I think he really had to pee.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

== Solid state? ==

I know I'm like a year late here, but... the remark about "solid state replacing vaccum tube technology" may be incorrect. In this particular context, "solid state" means "no moving parts". For example, a USB harddrive and a USB memory stick are both storage devices. The memory stick is solid state, since it's just a bunch of microchips, whereas the harddrive is not solid state, as it uses a spinning platter and mobile read-write heads. "This is funny, you see, because the so-called Solid State boots apparently use a large and noisy vaccum cleaner motor, which is definitely not solid state technology." [[User:207.96.8.128|207.96.8.128]] 17:58, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you for your comment. I've integrated your points into the revised Remark:

*Solid state refers to transistor electronics, vs. old vacuum tube technology. In the '50s through perhaps the mid-'70s (which seems like it might be the period from which the boots came), manufacturers would stamp "solid state" on their various devices, signifying that they were state-of-the-art. These so-called "Solid State" boots apparently use a large and noisy vaccum cleaner motor, which is definitely not solid state technology.

:Feel free to change it further if you think it needs it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:07, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

::I've twiddled it slightly to "vaccum tube or mechanical technology". That oughtta do it. [[User:207.96.8.128|207.96.8.128]] 18:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

== Invisible arms? ==

Could Homestar having a rope tied around his torso be a possible argument for invisible arms vs. telekinesis? Normally a rope in that position would only be useful for restraining the arms. Or maybe Homesar is just so stupid that he thinks he's tied up anyway. [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 10:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

:You could add that argumant in [[Lack of Visible Arms]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

== Black Eyes ==

After the power goes out, Strong Bad's eyes loose their green color in the dark even though in the next scene they're normal again. Is this a goof or just me? --[[User:Sabra|Sabra]] 07:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

== Deathtrack ==

Mike comments that he can't remember if it's Activision or Dynamix which came out with Deathtrack - it was both. Dynamix developed it, Activision published it (and so, put their name prominently on the box). The Fun Fact at the bottom goes on about the Atari, but Deathtrack was a DOS game released in 1989. [[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 16:28, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== IT'S WHISPER QUIET! ==

Does anyone else think the boots being advertised as "whisper quiet" despite making a lot of noise is a reference to the Juice Loosener from ''The Simpsons''? [[User:Octan|Octan]] 20:46, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

__FORCETOC__

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There comes a time, when we read a certain email. ''{reads email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
What is your opinion of the effects 
of in video games on children? Are 
video games harmful to the 
development of the human brain? 
 
sincerely, 
Wilbur, Seattle, WA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "WA" as a high note (pronounced "wa")}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, Wilbur. Sounds like a little video game programming version of The Cheat.

''{A balding creature with a human head, long hair, glasses, a beard, and a The Cheat body appears on the screen momentarily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Wilbur. Video games actually teach you all kindsa new stuff. Think of all the words we've learned from video games. ''{clears screen}'' There's "strafe." Who ever used strafe before they started putting it in video games? They used to just say, "walk sideways and shoot." Then there's "toggle." Y'know, you gotta toggle between the missiles and the lasers. ''{clears screen}'' And who could forget "melee." Which I can only assume means, "a buncha peoples fighting, like, all at the same time." Plus, most video games provide a veritable what-not-to-do of spelling and grammar. ''{stops typing}'' Just give a kid a video game instruction booklet.

''{The cover of the instruction manual for "Strong Sad's Strafing/Toggling Challenge!!" appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing}'' and play "Find the complete sentence." That's plenty educational!

''{The manual turns to Page One, which reads as follows:}''

<pre>
Play for best!!
- top score wins choice
- d+pad UP for combo
- remember alert!
Always to stop scoring. Challenge again!
</pre>

''{The manual disappears, and Strong Bad resumes responding.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And who doesn't remember staying up all night to beat an end boss only to be rewarded with a hearty ''{typed in big, bold, golden letters}'' CONGRATURATION! ''{resumes typing normally}'' They didn't even bother giving you multiple ones. Just a single congraturation they had lying around ''{pausing each time, as if struggling to think of a term}'' the video game make place.

''{Cut to an office setting. A balding creature with short hair, glasses, and a mustache and a The Cheat body is standing by a computer, while Wilbur is standing near a box of "congraturations!", which look like muffins. A Broderbund Software and Jumpman poster are in the background. Text in the corner reads, "AT THE VIDEO GAME MAKE PLACE"}''

'''BALD GUY:''' Hey man, you gonna eat that last Congraturation?

'''WILBUR:''' Naw, man. We're puttin' it in the game if you beat the end boss.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{angrily}'' Freakin' stupid cheap waste of my time! They're being jerks!

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Videro Melee.png|thumb|Melee: A buncha peoples fighting]]
*If you use the Angle button to change the angle, then when Strong Bad talks about the word "melee", you'll see a computer screen filled with sprites of all the main characters "attacking" each other at [[The Stick]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*The title screen is for the [[Tandy 400]], but the email is done with the Compy 386.
*The computer in the Video Game Make Place is a Compy 386.

===Goofs===
*The sound of Strong Bad typing continues for several keystrokes after "strongbad_email.exe" has completely appeared on the screen.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Strong Sad's ST Challenge.png|thumb|top score wins choice]]
*The title of this email is a mention of [[Glossary#V|Videro]].
*"Challenge again!" in the manual is a reference to the "Challenge Again!" button that appears when dying in [[TROGDOR!]].
*The Homestar sprite that appears in the Videro Melee is very similar to the [[Armless Invaders]] Homestar from the [[Strong Bad's Message Bored|Message Bored]] games.

===Real-World References===
*The controller Strong Sad is holding in the instruction manual is very similar to the original [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]] controller.
**In fact, it bears a close resemblance to the Famicom's (the Japanese counterpart to the NES) controller.
*Brøderbund Software is a now-defunct game development house, best known for its games ''Lode Runner'', ''Reader Rabbit'', and the ''Carmen Sandiego'' series. The [http://www.broderbund.com/ company itself] is still around, but has all but ceased production of games.
*''[[Wikipedia:Jumpman_(video_game)|Jumpman]]'' was a classic computer game from Epyx. The poster pictured in the background is the box art from one of its many versions.
*The title of this email and the misuse of English throughout is a reference to the [[Deliberately Poor English|poor Japanese/English translations]], or Engrish, often found in old video games.
**It should also be noted that the title [[video games]] had already been used for another Strong Bad Email and therefore a slight variation had to be given to this one.
*Strong Bad's intro song is based on USA For Africa's "We Are The World".
*"Congraturation" is from the end screen of the Nintendo game [[Wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins (video game)|Ghosts 'n Goblins]]. Generally regarded as one of the most difficult video games of all time, its ending can be viewed [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/ghosts_b.htm here]. The ending of [[Thy Dungeonman]] makes reference to this as well.
**"Challenge again!" from the manual is also a reference to the ending of Ghosts 'n Goblins.
*Strong Bad says "Ohh, Wilbur" like the title horse in the '60s TV series [[Wikipedia:Mister Ed|Mister Ed]].
*The style of the "melee"-game's graphics resemble those of the games made for the [[Wikipedia:Sinclair ZX Spectrum|Sinclair ZX Spectrum]].
*The comment about toggling between missiles and lasers brings to mind the gameplay in the 2D [[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]] games, in which the player has to toggle between beams, missiles, and bombs in order to defeat various enemies and open doors.

''{Cut to outside the Prince of Town's castle, where Pom Pom, wearing sunglasses, is floating in the pool. The Poopsmith bounces on the diving board repeatedly. Party music plays. Cut back to a close-up of The Homestar Runner.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{each gulp is simply captioned "gulp"}'' I (gulp) guess (gulpo) I'm on (gulpamundo) my own (Gulp Fantasy 2000).

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Tedioused The Homestar Runner at great risk to the listenability of the story.

''{Cut to the entrance to the spooky woods, where ghost Homestar floats in, looking nervous}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so The Dead Homestar Runner entered the Spooky Woods.

''{The Dead Homestar Runner floats through the spooky woods}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No amount of gulps can express how scared I am!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Just then, he came face to face with his first fear!

''{A life science textbook with a picture of a frog on the cover pops into existence before him, then opens to page 73, which has a picture of an pink organelle}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no! Page 73 of my old life science textbook!

'''COACH ZEE:''' ''{speaking as the organelle}'' Can you identify this organelle, that is located in a plant cell?

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Asked the life science textbook in Coach Z's voice for some reason.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' I'm not gulp-afraid of you... Golgi Apparatus!

'''COACH ZEE:''' Apporparortus! ''{the textbook closes and vanishes}''

''{The Homestar Runner's hat "ding"s into color}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That was easy! I'll have my corporeal form back in no time!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said The Homestar Runner after ''clearly'' consulting a thesaurus.

''{The Homestar Runner leaves the scene. The Brothers Strong rise up from behind a teal-colored bush with purple berries.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Meanwhile, behind a very great bush, the Brothers Strong were schemin' and steamin'.

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' All types of drat!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said Strong Bad, ''{not captioned}'' coining an awesome new phrase that will endure throughout the ages. ''{Tiny-Handed Strong Bad grins}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' We've got to make sure his next fear is so gruesome, he won't be able to face it!

'''STRONG MAD:''' Grunt!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Grunted Grunt Mad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm here because family is hard to say no to.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said a pallid bust of Pallas.

''{Cut to ghost Homestar floating through the woods}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so The Little-Bit-Less-Dead Homestar Runner forged ahead, and faced his next fear. Which was...

''{A bathtub full of vomit and eyeballs appears against a pink and purple background as a spooky sound plays}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' Eyeball barf bath!

''{Wide shot. Strong Mad is vomiting eyeballs into the bathtub while Tiny-Handed Strong Bad stands by him.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I'm not scared of that. Boooo! ''{jumps into the bathtub, sticks his head up, and spits out an eyeball}'' Pa-too!

''{Close-up of The Homestar Runner, who is surrounded by a golden aura}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Luxuriates my skin!

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' What the...?

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Almost cussed Strong Bad. ''{Tiny-Handed Strong Bad puts a glove over his mouth}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{suddenly scared}'' But I am scared of... gulp gulp gulp gulp gulp gulp... FRILLY TOOTHPICKS!!!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, who is holding a plate of club sandwiches with frilly toothpicks}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And all eyes turned to Strong Sad's club sammich.

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' That's stupid! No one's afraid of frilly toothpicks!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{gets out of the bath}'' Oh, you're right. Thanks Strong Bad!

''{The Homestar Runner gains his red star shirt.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{"had" is not spoken aloud}'' And with that, The Homestar Runner ''[had]'' successfully faced his second fear.

''{The Homestar Runner floats on}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' All types of drat!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Repeated Strong Bad, flirting with oversaturating the market with his new phrase too soon.

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' It looks like we have to come up with something stupid and weird, not gruesome.

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner floating through the woods}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so The Nearly-Not-Dead Homestar Runner ventured deeper into the spooky woods.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two down, one to go! I wonder what horrors my third fear will bring.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Just then he came to a clearing in the woods.

''{The Homestar Runner witnesses Tiny-Handed Strong Bad and Strong Mad playing ping-pong on a round kitchen table}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' Look at us! We're playing ping-pong on a kitchen table. Not regulation in the slightest!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said Strong Bad wearing dress shoes with no socks. ''{close-up of Tiny-Handed Strong Bad's feet; he is indeed}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' While definitely illegal, I don't think non-regulation ping-pong is my third fear.

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' Well it doesn't matter anyway, ''{wide silhouetted shot; the moon has a clock displayed on it that's nearly at midnight}'' 'cause it's almost the witching hour and now you'll be stuck like this forever!

''{Dramatic close-up of Tiny-Handed Strong Bad whacking the ping-pong ball in midair}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' SLAMMA JAMMA!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And Strong Bad slammed the ball with wicked topspin. ''{the ball soars past The Homestar Runner in slow motion, then rolls into some brambles}'' And it flew into the Thorny Thicket, revealing...

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH NO!! My final fear!!

''{Cut to the gruesome sight of exactly what Homestar describes:}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A half-decomposed raccoon being carried around by a family of wet pigeons!! ''{the pigeons approach the ping-pong ball}''

''{Cut back to The Homestar Runner, Strong Mad and Strong Bad}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said the Homestar Runner in a ''children's book''. ''{the words each become italicized as he reads them}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Awww, but look. The gross wet pigeons think Strong Bad's ping-pong ball is an egg!

''{The pigeons plus raccoon sit down on top of the ball}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They're gonna hatch it!

''{Cut back to the trio}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They were just as gulp of me, as I was gulp of them!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said the Homestar Runner, ''really'' shoe-horning some ''{Homestar poses with pride}'' kind of half-baked moral into this thing.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Behold! The witching hour!

''{The moon clock strikes midnight with a gong sound}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so having faced his three fears, Homestar Runner gained back his corporeal form. ''{The Homestar Runner gains back his legs}'' Said narrator Strong Bad, who totally already knew what 'corporeal' meant, like, ''way'' before this book.

''{Close-up on The Homestar Runner, whose backside seems to "ding"}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, hey hey! ''{wide shot; a transparent ghost tail is protruding from under his shirt}'' Looks like I get to keep my squiggily ghost-tail! ''{turns his rear to Tiny-Handed Strong Bad}'' Does it tickle your fancy, Mr. Strong Bad? ''{makes a duck face and starts making high-pitched noises}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' SUCH A FRIGHT!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Moaned Strong Bad and he lay down and died.

''{Tiny-Handed Strong Bad lays down and turns transparent. A white ghost Strong Bad with a wiggly tail floats up from his body.}''

'''TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' Now ''I'' gave up the ghost!

''{Silhouetted wide shot}''

'''ALL BUT TINY-HANDED STRONG BAD:''' Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Laughed all the other characters in a satisfying, end-of-story fashion.

''{The page turns to a gray "end." screen. As Strong Bad speaks, a new storybook appears: "strong bad's ghost enters the homestar runner", with an illustration of Tiny-Handed Strong Bad's ghost being sucked into a surprised The Homestar Runner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Join us next week, children, when we read "Strong Bad's Ghost Enters The Homestar Runner, Thereby Possessing Him Demonically". ''{the additional part of the title appears as he reads it}''

''{Cut to the modern day characters, costume-less, standing in the field at night. Strong Bad is holding the book.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Such a great story, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, I just r—read it. To you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{puzzled}'' Um, I know.

'''COACH Z:''' Say, is there something missin' here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! We forgot to put on our cos''tumes''!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, our ''cos''tumes or our cos''tumes''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'd better peow outta here and get changed!

'''ALL:''' PEOW! ''{they dash off, then reappear in their Halloween costumes}''

*The gong sound heard as the Witching Hour strikes comes from the 2013 first-person exploration/puzzle game ''[[wikipedia:Kairo (video game)|Kairo]]''.
*Bubs's costume seems to indicate that his skin beneath his shirt is the same blue color as his face.
*Strong Sad's mask is a goon from Popeye. This was previously referenced in the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]].
**It might also be a proboscis monkey.

===Remarks===
*The Poopsmith is seen partying at the pool, while he was specifically forbidden from entering in [[keep cool]].
*While in costume, Homestar does not blink as he normally does.
*Marzipan's line is presented in a slightly lower [[audio quality]] from the rest of the toon.
*The contrast dial on the Compy in the Easter egg is not interactable.

===Goofs===
[[File:SpookyWoodsDragonFont.png|200px|thumb|I make drawing incorrect fonts fun!]]
*In the Flash version, the first line on Strong Bad's computer is not displayed in the correct font. The same line is displayed correctly in the YouTube version.

*The Life Science textbook Homestar encounters is based on the 1999 edition of ''Life Science'' by Lucy Daniel, Edward Paul Ortleb, and Alton Biggs (ISBN 0028277775).
*"A pallid bust of Pallas" refers to [[Edgar Allan Poe]]'s poem [[wikipedia:The Raven|"The Raven"]].
*Two references are made to [[Don Bluth]] and his works:
**Bubs is dressed up as Commander Borf, the antagonist from ''Space Ace'', a game similar to ''Dragon's Lair''.
**In response, when Homestar Runner turns into a skeleton and collapses during the costume discussion at the end, it is a reference to one of the ways Dirk the Daring dies in the original ''Dragon's Lair''. Homestar was dressed as Dirk the Daring in [[Mr. Poofers Must Die]], doing the same gag.
*[[Wikipedia:Mode 7|Mode 7]] was a processing technique that allowed the Super [[Nintendo]] Entertainment System to scale and rotate visual elements.

Both are recurring characters in the works of Leiji Matsumoto.
*Strong Bad references the white clamshell VHS case [[Disney]] movies came in.
*Strong Sad suggests that ''[[Wikipedia:Condorman|Condorman]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Tron|Tron]]'' could belong to a shared cinematic universe because both movies (as well as the [[Wikipedia:Marvel Cinematic Universe|Marvel Cinematic Universe]]) were produced by Disney, and ''Tron'' was released a year after ''Condorman'' in 1982.
*The Eh!-gustus Steve Easter egg, with its use of Sweet Cuppin Cakes' color palette and tile floor, slow synth pop music, Roman-style statues, and cyan- and magenta-outlined palm tree, references the [[Wikipedia:Vaporwave|Vaporwave]] aesthetic.
*Homestar sings part of [[youtube:9YAmXjBUp-g|the theme]] from [[Wikipedia:Moomin (1990 TV series)|the 1990 Moomin TV anime series]] (on which the design of his costume is largely based).

{{dvd|exclusive=TRUE|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

== Transcript ==

''{Wind is heard blowing through a dimly-lit Flash 5 interface. An image of Strong Bad's arm is visible in the Library panel. A hidden door opens, and Strong Bad peeks his head through. He jumps out and closes the door as the scene brightens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shaking his arms in the air}'' Surprise!! Happy birthday, Flash 5! ''{lowers his arms}'' And to a lesser extent 6, 7, and 8! ''{looks up}'' Oh, Flash 5, we've been through it all together. ''{looks down}'' Except... when I needed to embed video.

''{Cut to a medium shot of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Where's the Align panel, where's the Align panel?! ''{points toward the Align panel}'' Align panel, get over here, get over here, you little scuppernong!

''{Align panel makes the Homsar walking sound effect as it wobbles its way over to Strong Bad. He puts his hand on the Align panel and leans onto it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Align panel, do you remember that time when you and I were—

''{Strong Bad's mask, head, mouth, body, gloves, and feet are moved to the left side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh!! That's what I'm talking about! Align ''left edge''! Now space me out all equally, to the stage, to the stage!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Strong Bad's mask, head, mouth, body, gloves, and feet are spread out equally on the work space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I like it, I like it!

''{Strong Bad realigns back together. The Frame Actions panel pops up in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning to the side of the panel}'' Oh, man! Who invited ''those'' pretentious guys? Shouldn't you be at a developer conference somewheres?

''{The Frame Actions panel bounces a few times, then makes the Homsar walking noise as it wobbles offscreen to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, say hi to tellTarget for me.

''{Cut to a medium shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Flash 5. I got you a little something...

''{Record-scratching noise. Cut to a wide shot showing Homestar on the left with a sign around his neck reading "pwesent?"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Happy Days reunion, Photoshop!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{points at Homestar}'' ''That'' is ''not'' what I got you. Huya! ''{turns and "hits" Homestar from afar, with the accompanying sound effect}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{transforms into a box in wrapping}'' Ooh, shape tween.

''{Cut to the box. Strong Bad pops out of it as the background turns blue.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' HAPPY FREAKIN' FLASHDAY!!

''{The top of the box floats back down onto Strong Bad's head. "HAPPY FLASHDAY!!" is written above in white text, "from homestarrunner.com" below. The toon loops.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Except for when I needed to embed video" is a reference to Flash 5's lack of [[Wikipedia:FLV|Flash Video]] support.
*The first versions of {{wp|Adobe Flash}}, then called {{wp|FutureSplash Animator}}, were released in April 1996.
*A {{wp|scuppernong}} is a large type of {{wp|muscadine}}, a grape native to the Southeastern United States, home of [[the Brothers Chaps]].
*In Flash 3 and Flash 4, the <code>tellTarget()</code> global function was the primary means of controlling one movie clip from another. It was used to invoke functions such as <code>play()</code>, <code>stop()</code>, and <code>gotoAndStop()</code> on remote movie clips. It was deprecated in Flash 5 in favor of object-oriented syntax or the <code>with</code> statement.

===Remarks===
*The title for this toon is "Flash's 10th Birthday" on the DVD cover, but is written as "Flash 10th Birthday" on the DVD menu.

===Goofs===
*The Flash version plays on an endless loop.

===Inside References===
*"Flashday" follows the naming convention of [[cheatday]] and [[Happy Trogday]].
*The "Happy Freakin'" in "Happy Freakin' Flashday!" was previously used in [[A Mother's Day Message]] and [[Happy T!]].
*When Strong Bad dis-aligns, [[Atari 2600]]-style sound effects play.

===Real World References===
*''{{wp|Happy Days}}'' is an sitcom that ran from 1974 to 1984 and depicted a sweet vision of life in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s. The show had two reunion specials, in 1992 and 2005.
*[[Photoshop]] is another product of Adobe.

===Fast Forward===
*This toon was featured on [[Index Page Messages#Old Crap Corner|Old Crap Corner]] in February 2021.

==DVD Version==
*A disclaimer is displayed at the beginning, reading:
<blockquote>
In 2006, Flash celebrated its 
10th birthday. We made this 
toon for the folks at Adobe to 
show at their big birthday 
celebration. We barely got it to 
them in time. Originally, the last 
few lines of dialog were recorded 
in a bathroom in Brooklyn with 
a system microphone and a towel 
over [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]'s head.
</blockquote>
*The animation does not loop at the end.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There comes a time, when we read a certain email. ''{reads email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
What is your opinion of the effects 
of in video games on children? Are 
video games harmful to the 
development of the human brain? 
 
sincerely, 
Wilbur, Seattle, WA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "WA" as a high note (pronounced "wa")}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, Wilbur. Sounds like a little video game programming version of The Cheat.

''{A balding creature with a human head, long hair, glasses, a beard, and a The Cheat body appears on the screen momentarily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Wilbur. Video games actually teach you all kindsa new stuff. Think of all the words we've learned from video games. ''{clears screen}'' There's "strafe." Who ever used strafe before they started putting it in video games? They used to just say, "walk sideways and shoot." Then there's "toggle." Y'know, you gotta toggle between the missiles and the lasers. ''{clears screen}'' And who could forget "melee." Which I can only assume means, "a buncha peoples fighting, like, all at the same time." Plus, most video games provide a veritable what-not-to-do of spelling and grammar. ''{stops typing}'' Just give a kid a video game instruction booklet.

''{The cover of the instruction manual for "Strong Sad's Strafing/Toggling Challenge!!" appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing}'' and play "Find the complete sentence." That's plenty educational!

''{The manual turns to Page One, which reads as follows:}''

<pre>
Play for best!!
- top score wins choice
- d+pad UP for combo
- remember alert!
Always to stop scoring. Challenge again!
</pre>

''{The manual disappears, and Strong Bad resumes responding.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And who doesn't remember staying up all night to beat an end boss only to be rewarded with a hearty ''{typed in big, bold, golden letters}'' CONGRATURATION! ''{resumes typing normally}'' They didn't even bother giving you multiple ones. Just a single congraturation they had lying around ''{pausing each time, as if struggling to think of a term}'' the video game make place.

''{Cut to an office setting. A balding creature with short hair, glasses, and a mustache and a The Cheat body is standing by a computer, while Wilbur is standing near a box of "congraturations!", which look like muffins. A Broderbund Software and Jumpman poster are in the background. Text in the corner reads, "AT THE VIDEO GAME MAKE PLACE"}''

'''BALD GUY:''' Hey man, you gonna eat that last Congraturation?

'''WILBUR:''' Naw, man. We're puttin' it in the game if you beat the end boss.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{angrily}'' Freakin' stupid cheap waste of my time! They're being jerks!

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Videro Melee.png|thumb|Melee: A buncha peoples fighting]]
*If you use the Angle button to change the angle, then when Strong Bad talks about the word "melee", you'll see a computer screen filled with sprites of all the main characters "attacking" each other at [[The Stick]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*The title screen is for the [[Tandy 400]], but the email is done with the Compy 386.
*The computer in the Video Game Make Place is a Compy 386.

===Goofs===
*The sound of Strong Bad typing continues for several keystrokes after "strongbad_email.exe" has completely appeared on the screen.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Strong Sad's ST Challenge.png|thumb|top score wins choice]]
*The title of this email is a mention of [[Glossary#V|Videro]].
*"Challenge again!" in the manual is a reference to the "Challenge Again!" button that appears when dying in [[TROGDOR!]].
*The Homestar sprite that appears in the Videro Melee is very similar to the [[Armless Invaders]] Homestar from the [[Strong Bad's Message Bored|Message Bored]] games.

===Real-World References===
*The controller Strong Sad is holding in the instruction manual is very similar to the original [[Nintendo|NES]] controller.
**In fact, it bears a close resemblance to the Famicom's (The Japanese counterpart to the [[Nintendo|NES]]) controller.
*Brøderbund Software is a now-defunct game development house, best known for its games ''Lode Runner'', ''Reader Rabbit'', and the ''Carmen Sandiego'' series. The [http://www.broderbund.com/ company itself] is still around, but has all but ceased production of games.
*''[[Wikipedia:Jumpman_(video_game)|Jumpman]]'' was a classic computer game from Epyx. The poster pictured in the background is the box art from one of its many versions.
*The title of this email and the misuse of English throughout is a reference to the [[Deliberately Poor English|poor Japanese/English translations]], or Engrish, often found in old video games.
**It should also be noted that the title [[video games]] had already been used for another Strong Bad Email and therefore a slight variation had to be given to this one.
*Strong Bad's intro song is based on USA For Africa's "We Are The World".
*"Congraturation" is from the end screen of the Nintendo game [[Wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts 'n Goblins]]. Generally regarded as one of the most difficult video games of all time, its ending can be viewed [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/ghosts_b.htm here]. The ending of [[Thy Dungeonman]] makes reference to this as well.
**"Challenge again!" from the manual is also a reference to the ending of Ghosts 'n Goblins.
*Strong Bad says "Ohh, Wilbur" like the title horse in the '60s TV series [[Wikipedia:Mister Ed|Mister Ed]].
*The style of the "melee"-game's graphics resemble those of the games made for the [[Wikipedia:Sinclair ZX Spectrum|Sinclair ZX Spectrum]].
*The comment about toggling between missiles and lasers brings to mind the gameplay in the 2D [[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]] games, in which the player has to toggle between beams, missiles, and bombs in order to defeat various enemies and open doors.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm going to try something a little different. ''{typing}'' print out million dollar bill.exe

''{The computer responds with "Bad command or file name"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' What? Oh. ''{typing}'' no for real, print me out a million dollar bill, man.exe

''{The computer responds with "Syntax error."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' um, this time really print me out a million dollars bill.nofoolin'

''{The computer responds with "Cut it out, you."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' What the—! Don't give me none of that crosstalk! Oh well, it was worth a shot. Now on to... ''{sighs}'' on to the email.

''{Strong Bad hits enter, types "strongbad_email.exe", and hits enter again}''

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">is there a story behiend the patch 
on the couch? if so, do tell! 
 
form, 
your pal</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "behiend" as "buh-HEEND"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, my pal! ''{typing}'' Well, Palbert, it's a good story. And now you all have to hear it.

''{Cut to a flashback of Strong Bad in the basement with a sack, acting mysterious.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Seems I was looking for a place to hide all my Aztec gold. But when I made the first incision, not only did I realize that I don't have any Aztec gold,—

''{The bag falls open to reveal it was full of oil filters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but I unleashed a stench of biblical proportions.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' They had to call in a hazmat team just to hose me hose me hose me ''{typed then deleted, typed then deleted, then typed}'' down!

''{Cut to The Poopsmith, wearing a [[Wikipedia:HAZMAT|HAZMAT]] suit labeled "Has Matt?", hosing down a screaming Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I had to spend a fortune on Glade plugins.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to Strong Bad at the computer.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now wait a second! That's not how ''I'' remember it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and I'm sure every loser out there wants to hear your loser opinions, loser.

'''STRONG SAD:''' They do!

''{Cut to a flashback of a young Strong Bad in the basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I seem to remember a young Strong Bad thinking that Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis was a woman. And that he was hot!

''{Lil' Strong Bad writes "Strong Bad LUVS Carla Lewis!! and thinks shes hott!!" with a Sharpie on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is entirely untrue.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lies! All lies!

''{Cut to Homestar standing behind Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Clearly I'm the only one who remembers how it all went down.

''{Cut to a flashback of Homestar laying on the couch in the basement. The couch clearly has the patch already on it. Homestar spits Teddy Grahams.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was not so long ago that I was in Strong Bad's basement spitting Teddy Grahams all over the place. One of them got stuck to the ceiling.

''{A Teddy Graham sticks to the ceiling. Homestar spits another up at it repeatedly, trying to dislodge it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar, shut up! This is about that patch on the couch. It's clearly already on there in your flashback.

''{Cut back to the two Brothers Strong and Homestar at the computer}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, oh, ohhhhh. I thought this week's email was entitled "Teddy Graham Memories".

''{Cut to shadowed "This guy's voice has been digitally altered" interview session}''

'''MYSTERIOUS PERSON:''' ''{Clearly Coach Z, with his voice digitally lowered}'' No, no. I got the ''real'' scoop. Strong Bad had me over for gumbo one night, and I don't know what kind of doodoo meat he was using in there, but I had to puke! So I went downstairs...

''{Cut to flashback of Coach Z's shadow in the basement}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and I noticed this little rip in the couch, so I puked in it!

''{Coach Z's shadow pukes in the couch. Cut back to interview session}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' I... I'm sorry for what I done!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I liked that gumbo! I didn't use no doodoo meat. ''{shaking fist}'' If I ever find out who that guy is... Well, palbert, there's your answer. Me? I'm gonna go over there.

''{Strong Bad starts to get up from his seat, but sits down again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' Oh wait! ''{types "make homestar's head explode.exe"}''

''{The computer responds with "No can do." The camera pulls back so we can see Strong Sad and Homestar again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No can do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh crap! This computer is worthless.

''{Zoom back to just Strong Bad and the computer. Strong Bad now gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Million dollar bill.PNG|thumb|print million dollar bill, please.exe]]
*At the end, you can click on a hidden "print million dollar bill, please.exe" at the bottom to print an [[ASCII art]] million dollar bill from The Paper. This is more easily seen if you use the contrast knob to make the background blue. You can click on the million dollar bill once it has printed out to make it go away.
*At the end you can click on the "make homestars head explode.exe" link to cut to a short of Homestar, again spitting Teddy Grahams all over the basement.
:''{cut back to the basement. Homestar is lying on the couch spitting Teddy Grahams all over again, with The Cheat standing nearby. After a few seconds, The Cheat's head explodes}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang, The Cheat. That computer's got something against you. Did you ever, like, pour Mountain Dew all over it?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Hazmat|Hazmat]] means "Hazardous Material". A Hazmat team, usually associated with fire or other public safety departments, is a group of people specially trained to clean up any hazardous material spills.
*[[Wikipedia:Gumbo|Gumbo]] is a thick soup from Louisiana containing meats and vegetables (primarily okra) and often served over rice.
*[[Wikipedia:Crosstalk (electronics)|Crosstalk]] is any phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one circuit or channel of a transmission system creates an undesired effect in another circuit or channel.

===Trivia===

===Remarks===
*The "print out million dollar bill please.exe" Easter egg remains black if the contrast knob is adjusted and will disappear when clicked.
*There has never actually been a $1,000,000 bill. The highest currency ever printed by the U.S. Mint was a [[Wikipedia:Large denominations of United States currency|$100,000 bill]] in 1934 depicting Woodrow Wilson. It was only used among Federal Reserve Banks and was never made available for use by the general public.
*Aside from being able to type with boxing gloves on, Strong Bad appears to be able to type just as quickly with one hand as he can with two.
*The first time Strong Bad says "Palbert", it is capitalized, but the second time, it isn't.
*This email contains two [[fourth wall break]]s: Strong Bad saying "Homestar, shut up! This is about that patch on the couch. It's clearly already on there in your flashback," and Homestar remarking "I thought this week's email was entitled 'Teddy Graham Memories'."

===Goofs===
*During Homestar's flashback, one of the spots of ceiling texture twitches and moves with the flashing of the ceiling light.
*When Coach Z's [[Silhouettes|silhouetted]] figure is speaking, a tiny gap appears on the bill of his cap when his head moves.
*When The Paper comes down in the Easter egg, there is a line jutting out on the left side of it.
*When Strong Bad puts his hand up to the screen at the end of the email in response to Coach Z, its reflection cannot be seen on the screen.
*In Homestar's Easter egg, The Cheat's right arm is missing.
*After The Cheat's head explodes, a small black line of his hair can be seen on the back of his head.
*When Homestar says, "No can do," he doesn't make a regular "O" mouth movement.
*In the Strong Sad flashback where Lil' Strong Bad is writing on the couch, the text on the [[permanent marker]] (reading "MARKER fine tip permanent") is mirrored.

===Inside References===
*In the "make homestars head explode.exe" Easter egg, Homestar Runner asks The Cheat, "Did you ever like, pour [[Mountain Dew]] all over it?", referring to the email [[anything]], in which Homestar Runner poured Mountain Dew all over Strong Bad's computer.
*The knife Strong Bad uses to cut open the couch is similar to the [[Big Knives]] of other Strong Bad Emails.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Glade (brand)#Plug-Ins|Glade PlugIns]] are scented air fresheners that plug into electrical wall sockets.
*Little Strong Bad is wearing a shirt featuring a rather well known advertisement for [[Wikipedia:Rock City (attraction)|"Rock City"]], a tourist attraction in Georgia, near Chattanooga, Tennessee.
*[[Wikipedia:Carl Lewis|Carl Lewis]] was an Olympic sprinter active during the 1980s and early 1990s. His sister [[Wikipedia:Carol Lewis|Carol]] was an Olympic long jumper.
*[[Teddy Grahams]] are any of a number of bear-shaped cookies produced by [[Wikipedia:Nabisco|Nabisco]].

*Strong Bad again speaks in triplicate when he asks [[The Baloneyman]] what will "cool me cool me cool me down".

==Transcript==
''{Open on a game board sitting on a table in the basement of the Brothers Strong, with meeples of the twelve main characters standing on it. Soft music plays. Whenever a meeple speaks, he rattles back and forth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, you guys? How come we look like this? ''{close up}'' And how come I can only kinda... shimmy in place? Not that I'm complaining. Everybody knows Homestar Runner loves a good stand-in-place shimmy!

''{Pan to the Strong Sad meeple in the bottom-right corner}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' We're meeples! I've had so many dreams like this!

''{Wide shot. The Cheat meeple turns to face Strong Bad as he speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rhythmically}'' Gross. I hate you. Gross, gross, I hate you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's a meeple? Sounds like Intendo.

''{Close up on Strong Sad meeple}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' A meeple is a wooden approximation of a human character in a tabletop game!

'''STRONG BAD:''' We look like we belong in one of those old British stop-motion shows. You know, where we all speak in board-gamery terms while a pleasant narrator over-explains everything?

''{Pan over the board while music plays and the title "Meeple Grove Market" appears over top. During the narration, panning shots are shown of various meeples toddling around the board.}''

'''PLEASANT NARRATOR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Welcome to Meeple Grove Market. Where the meeples all speak in board-gamery terms while I over-explain everything.

''{Close up of Strong Bad meeple}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{fake Italian accent}'' Okay, as is the custom of-a my meeples, everybody sound off!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I TRADE FOR GRAIN!

'''BUBS:''' I just eradicated all disease in Jakarta!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I lost a turn in the chocolate swamp! Chocolate?! What happened to molasses? Kids love molasses!

'''COACH Z:''' I'm creepin' and I'm creepin' down Baltic Ave! ''(actually says "Ave", not "avenue")''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I'm takin' back Irkutsk!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Pret-ty sneaky, sis!

''{Wide shot, drum roll plays}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do it Homsar, do it, do it, do it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do it Homsar, do it!

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, yeah! Do it!

'''COACH Z:''' Dort!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah, do it! Do it, do it!

'''COACH Z:''' DORT!

'''HOMSAR:''' Oh, no! ''{close up}'' You just shanked my Jengaship!

''{Triumphant tune plays. Wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, it's our mortal enemy: someone going to get a drink during the game!

''{A silhouette of the Balding Man sighs his drawn-out sigh as he gets up from the table, making [[The Geddup Noise]] and jostling it, which knocks over all the meeples. Everybody yells in alarm.}''

''{Slow zoom out as music plays.}''

'''PLEASANT NARRATOR:''' And so, all the meeples fell down, because you see, when you're playing a tabletop game and you get up to go to the loo—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still lying on his back}'' Yeah, we get it.

'''PLEASANT NARRATOR:''' —sometimes your knee strikes—

'''STRONG BAD:''' We get it!

'''PLEASANT NARRATOR:''' —the corner of the table—

'''STRONG BAD:''' WE GET IT!

'''PLEASANT NARRATOR:''' —upsetting everything on the—

'''STRONG BAD:''' WE GET IT, OLD MAN!

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
I was curious as to whether or not 
Strong Badia had an official army. 
Your Homeboy, 
Hank Toler</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Does Strong Badia have an army? Strong Badia needs no army, Hankatola. Me and that one big guy and that one little guy... we're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. Three-to-one-marny? What I mean to say is, what do we need an army for when the three of us pretty much do as we please? I mean, it's not like there's anyone around to oppose us.

''{Homestar Runner suddenly appears wearing a bowl on his head and carrying a large [[Orange Bowl and Spoon|spoon]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, maggot! Fall it out. Colonel ''{he pronounces it phonetically, i.e. "col-o-nel"}'' Homestar Runner is recruiting ''the'' most elite team of crack commandos to invade Strong Badia. Do you has what it takes to join the Homestarmy? Will you bring a sack lunch and some orange slices for me and serve your country?
Will you, stupid?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no. I don't really have any interest in invading my own—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ten-hut! Draft dodger, eh? Well, see if those trees you're always hugging save you when Gordon Lightfoot's creeping round your back stair. Company... Halt! Backwards... March!

''{Homestar marches backwards off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—

''{Homestar sticks his head back in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, and if you change your mind or wanna trade in that skirt you're wearing for a nice pair of camos, we're having a pep rally up at the stick in oh-fifteen minutes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow. I thought I knew what ridiculous was, until this day. This definitely merits some further reconnaissance. The Cheat!

''{The Cheat runs in, wearing a black stealth suit and matching knit cap.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I need you to find out—

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sounding a little upset}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhh. Don't make me call you that. It's not a good commando name.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, all right. ''{reluctantly}'' Firebert, I need you to find out what the crap Homestar Runner is up to at The Stick in oh-fifteen minutes.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises as he salutes}''

''{Scene changes to The Stick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestleman and his yellow dog?

'''CROWD:''' YEAH!

''{faint rewind noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you ready to fight alongside your Colonel ''{again pronounced phonetically}'' and give your five bucks to the Homestarmy if it comes to that?

'''CROWD:''' YEAH!

''{faint rewind noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do you wanna paint that fence some other cool color and put a fake beard on that tire?

''{silence}''

''{Switches to view of Homestar's audience, showing it consists of the [[painting of a guy with a big knife]], Strong Sad holding a tapedeck, Homsar, and a popcorn popper.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, sorry. Forgot to rewind.

''{Strong Sad rewinds tape deck and presses play}''

'''CROWD:''' YEAH!

'''HOMSAR:''' DaAaAaAa! You gotta get yours. I gotta get mine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right then, maggots! Let's get out there and invade us some serious Strong Badia! Company... GO!

''{The Homestarmy marches off and The Cheat appears from behind The Stick. The view now shifts to Strong Badia where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are wondering about badminton.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I don't know. Maybe there is a goodminton.

''{The Homestarmy marches up, but Homsar keeps going and walks right off the other side of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, so I see you decided to join the other side, eh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What joining?? I ''am'' the other side!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ten-Hut! Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the Homestarmy! Strong Badia... will be ours!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No it won't. We're about to play some badminton. So... no invasion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Oh I see. ''{pause}'' Retreat! Fall back men! We're in over our heads!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hold the line! Hold the liiiine!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And take this stupid thing with you.

''{Strong Bad kicks the popcorn popper. A crash is heard off screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bennedetto! Don't you die on me, Bennedetto! Not on my watch! Don't you give up! ''{Tearing up}'' You never gave me the five bucks... ''{taps Bennedetto with his spoon}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' And that, my dear Hankerin', is why Strong Badia will never need an army, though we are in dire need of a copy of the official rules of badminton. No idea what we're doing. None.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Firebert. It's terrible!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Near the beginning, click "[[Three-to-One Marny]]" to see a handbook containing the rules to playing three-to-one marny, as written by [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]. Click the rulebook to read it.
*At the end, click "army" to see a [[Firebert]] action figure. It's reminiscent of the action figures in the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]], and later appears with the [[Cheat Commandos]].
*Also at the end, click on "No idea" to see a scene at [[Marzipan's house]].
:''{Homestar is in Marzipan's kitchen. He walks up to a microwave.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{saddened}'' Mrs. Bennedetto, my name is Colonel ''{still pronounced phonetically}'' Homestar Runner. I served with Frank in the Homestarmy at the battle of Strong Badia. I hate to give you this news... Frank was one of the finest friggin' soldiers I ever met! ''{no longer saddened}'' And he still kinda owes me five bucks. So, if you could just... fork it over...''{taps microwave with his spoon}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This was the first Strong Bad Email after a few weeks of no update, most likely because of a break for the holiday season. This is the reason Strong Bad starts the email by dusting off the screen and saying, "it's been a while".
*The mention of a meeting occurring in "oh-fifteen minutes" is a parody of [[Wikipedia:24-hour clock|military time]], where a time like 5 a.m. would be [[Wikipedia:24-hour clock#The 24-hour clock in spoken English|spoken]] as "oh-five-hundred hours".

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#seicross suckross|seicross (suckross)]]".
*This was a minor debut of the [[Cheat Commandos]].
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Do you has what it takes to join the Homestarmy? Arguably the beginning of the Cheat Commandos!"

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has finished the [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife]] since its first appearance. In [[i love you]], the bottom few inches of the canvas were left blank.
*The painting walks into Strong Badia by itself. Homsar carries Bennedetto and then wanders offscreen.
*The Compy is rather dusty, as can be evidenced by adjusting the contrast. Interestingly, the second cut to the Compy has the contrast increased so the dust around the edges is more visible.
*When Strong Bad kicks Bennedetto, he makes a shattering noise, but does not appear to be broken in any way.
*The Cheat [[Hammerspace|manages to fit behind]] The Stick, despite the fact it is clearly thinner than he is.
*After ordering "Company, go" at the pep rally, Homestar steps off with his right foot. The standard drill convention is to take the first step with the left foot.
*Strong Sad says he forgot to rewind the tape, but after the second cheer, the rewind sound is still heard.
*Judging by the shadow of the stick, Homestar should have a long angled shadow behind him, but there is none.
*Despite Homestar's authority, Strong Sad immediately defies his order by saying to hold the line right after Homestar issues a retreat.

===Goofs===
*The yellow printing on Firebert's toy box goes beyond the top of the box.
*When Homestar leaves Strong Bad at the computer, the contrast of the computer screen is automatically brighter. Then at the end when we cut to Strong Bad again, it is darker.
*When Homestar leaves Strong Bad at the computer and The Cheat (Firebert) comes, the contrast scroll disappears from the computer.
*When Homestar is preparing to invade Strong Badia, the ploughed ground continues to both edges of the screen. When zoomed in on Homestar, the edge of the ploughed ground can be seen with no apparent change in angle.
*When Strong Bad types "No idea what we're doing.", there seems to be an extra space between "idea" and "what".
*When Homestar first enters the email from the right, he makes no reflection on the screen.
*The stick loses its shadow after Strong Sad plays the tape for the final time.
*When Homestar kneels by [[Frank Bennedetto|the popcorn machine]] and says "Don't you die on me, Bennedetto!", the outline of his right leg is broken.

===Glitches===
[[Image:TwelveOfThemLinesGlitch.png|thumb|Only two of them lines got glitched]]
*When Homestar is giving his pep rally, the lines on the "Twelve of them" box extend off of the box to its left.

===Inside References===
*The [[Soapbox|box]] Homestar is standing on at The Stick says "Twelve of Them". This is a reference to [[fingers]], in which Homestar stands on a box which bears the words "Eleven Soaps".
*When Homestar asks Strong Bad "Do you has what it takes to join the Homestarmy?" he says "has" instead of "have." This is likely a reference to the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], in which he makes the same mistake (and is criticized by Strong Sad for it in the commentary).
*Homestar asks Strong Bad if he will bring orange slices for his colonel. This may be a reference to Homestar's favorite snack, [[Bronco Trolleys]].
*Homestar Runner again calls Strong Bad "[[Wrestleman]]".
*Strong Bad (pretending to be Homestar) claimed to play [[badminton]] with Pom Pom in [[Where's The Cheat?]].
*[[Trivia Time]] makes an appearance as a cookie jar beside Mrs. Bennedetto in the Easter egg.
*Homestar mentions [[tree hugging]].
*Homestar [[Homestar Poking People|pokes]] several people throughout the course of this toon.
*Homestar commands the Homestarmy to "[[X it out|Fall it out]]". "Fall out" is an actual command, telling soldiers assembled in formation they are allowed to break that formation.

===Real-World References===
*Homestar warns Strong Bad about [[Wikipedia:Gordon Lightfoot|Gordon Lightfoot]], a [[Canada|Canadian]] singer, saying "We'll see if those trees you're always hugging save you when Gordon Lightfoot's ''creeping round your back stair''". This is a lyric from one of his most famous songs, the Billboard #1 from June '74, "Sundown". The referenced lyric is "Sundown, you better take care, if I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs."
*Bennedetto is most likely a [https://www.gopresto.com/products/products.php?stock=04820 Presto 04820 PopLite Popcorn Maker].
*[[Wikipedia:Endust|Endust]], a product by the [[Wikipedia:Sara Lee Corporation|Sara Lee/DE Corporation]], is a spray designed to prevent dust settling on furniture.
*The standard Homestarmy 'helmets' are Tupperware bowls.
*Homsar's line "You gotta get yours. I gotta get mine" is a reference to "Gotta Get Mine," a song by MC Breed (feat. Tupac).

===Fast Forward===
*Frank Bennedetto may have been the only casualty of [[The Battle of Strong Badia]], but he may not have died. Homestar led Mrs. Bennedetto to believe that he was dead, but the appropriate term is more 'missing in action'. He is seen behind the fence in the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and actually back in the army in [[Labor Dabor]]. It is possible both that it is Frank Bennedetto or another popcorn maker of the same kind.
**In [[more armies]], while Homestar is advertising the Homestarmy, Bennedetto is sitting on the table with a plaque under him reading, "Not free popcorn, memorial statue". This suggests that Bennedetto actually did die. Since this email has many other references to [[army]], he probably died at The Battle of Strong Badia.
**Also, in [[Strong Badia the Free]], When Homestar is running the draft, if it lands on one of the Bennedettos, Homestar will reference The Battle of Strong Badia, and say something like "Haven't [the Bennedettos] suffered enough?"
*[[Firebert]] later becomes a character in the [[Cheat Commandos]]. Additionally, the fact that Firebert is not a good commando name is referenced again, in the toon "[[Shopping for Danger]]", when Firebert is ordered to "stay here and think of a better commando name", and in an Easter egg in the email [[more armies]], when The Cheat's (Firebert's) booth does not have visitors.
*The spoon Homestar holds is used again in the email [[old comics]] by Strong Mad when he eats the pasta salad in the Easter egg.
*There would later be a [[Downloads|downloadable]] Homestarmy poster.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Oooh, it's been a while. How long had it been since we had done an email?

'''MATT:''' Maybe a month.

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause there's dust and cobwebs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It had been—What had we done? Didn't we do some other stuff?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. It was after the holidays?

'''MIKE:''' No, it was before that—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously, overlapping}'' I think it was—

'''MIKE:''' What number is it?

'''MATT:''' Ninety... three?

'''MIKE:''' Well... maybe... Anyway, for whatever reason we had, uh, not done emails for a while, so that's what the

'''MIKE & MATT:''' dust

'''MIKE:''' and

'''MIKE & MATT:''' cobweb

'''MIKE:''' is about. Um... So this is one we've talked about before. I mean, we'd come up- you had come up with the term "Homestarmy"—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, a ''long'' time ago

'''MIKE:''' for a long—yeah, like a year or so ago

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' We were going to make a full cartoon, I think

'''MIKE:''' yeah

'''MATT:''' originally, and then we decided, since we don't make those anymore, we'd just ''{laughs}'' make Strong Bad emails. There's, uh, Seicross there.

'''MIKE:''' That was a good game.

'''MATT:''' Over ten million.

'''MIKE:''' ''{goofy voice}'' sol—sold tsill—zill-millions. ''{laughs} Till''-millions.

'''MATT:''' in his stack— ''{mumbles}''

'''MIKE:''' I like the carpet, the carpet underneath his, uh—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's the new and improved

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MATT:''' shag carpeting.

'''MIKE:''' People sometimes catch onto the fact that the s—that the—when Strong Bad gets up it makes a sound against a wood floor

'''MATT:''' Yeah

'''MIKE:''' which is what it ''was''; when we lived in the apartment, it had hardwood floors and we just, you know, pushed a stool across it to get that sound. And that was before we ever showed what Strong Bad

'''MATT:''' Right

'''MIKE:''' was—But then, it's carpet, and so people

'''MATT:''' But I—

'''MIKE:''' got a kick out of pointing that out to us.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think it's great. I think we're gonna leave it that way forever and ever.

'''MIKE:''' ''{agreeing}'' Mmm-hmm.

'''MATT:''' I think we should make it a point of, like, one time he's on a pillow, he's got the stool ''{Mike snickers}'' on a pillow and it's still like—

'''MIKE:''' There's one time when Matt—

'''MATT:''' ''{imitates "Geddup noise"}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's, that—Which one is it, the one where you...?

'''MATT:''' It's the vacation one, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, where Matt just makes that sound—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I just made Strong Bad go ''{"Geddup noise"}''

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' So, this is, uh, where Cheat Commandos comes from.

'''MIKE:''' Yep. That's right. Where'd you—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' So I was trying to come up with what his commando name was, so I just started writing a ton of ''words'' down, among them Fightgar, Crackotage, all what eventually became all of the, uh—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so we just had this list, so we made this, and then like, a couple weeks later, we saw that list of all those names, and we were like, "Well, we should just make

'''MATT:''' Yeah, just

'''MIKE:''' all of them."

'''MATT:''' make the whole thing. Uh, "Little Albert" was one we didn't use, we thought it was too much like Reynold.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' There was "Gun"—uh, "Runfire". ''{Mike laughs}'' There's another one that I think we nixed.

'''MIKE:''' Wasn't the, uh... the last time, that box said "Eleven of them"?

'''MATT:''' Maybe, I think it was. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I forget which one it is—So I wasn't thi—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' So it—''{resumes}'' It already rewound actually there, so that's a mistake; he had already rewound it

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh.

'''MATT:''' so you hear it rewind, and then... But, so—Anyways, Mike just got one of those, uh—

'''MIKE:''' Popcorn poppers.

'''MATT:''' big old popcorn poppers from Miss Cordell's class. ''{Mike snickers}'' Popcorn Party Friday.

'''MIKE:''' So yeah, maybe the pup—uh, puppet is gonna, maybe—Puppet Bennedetto, which is just a Presto air popper ''{Matt laughs}'', will maybe make an appearance sometime.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' I love how Homsar deposits the—just kinda poops out the Bennedetto there.

'''MIKE:''' And just keeps on going.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, he's got this orange Tupperware bowl we had growing up on his head.

'''MATT:''' Oh, is that why it's orange? What Tupperware bowl?

'''MIKE:''' You don't remember the orange Tupperware stuff we had?

'''MATT:''' ''{conceding}'' Yeah... I remember the, like—There was the, the cas—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Well the lid has ridges on it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah yeah yeah, and like... stars... sorta.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I mean, it's kinda that one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Okay.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I don't know what "Hold the line" is originally from. It just seems like a staple ''{Mike snickers}'' of army movies. Old war movies.

'''MIKE:''' It's dusk now.

'''MATT:''' Now it's suddenly dusk. ''{Mike snickers}''

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause it seems to make this more dramatic.

'''MATT:''' Makes it sadder if it's dusk.

'''MIKE:''' ''{snickers}'' I like how he taps everything with that—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Really needs to have that all the time. I think if Homestar had arms, visible arms, it would—it would be a lot funnier all the time. Like, 'cause he could be... poking people—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' ... doing something with them a lot. ''{pause}'' Is that it?

'''MIKE:''' ''{noncommittal noise}''

'''MATT:''' No, just that.

'''MIKE:''' Now it's done.

=== Easter Egg Commentary ===
'''MATT:''' So there's, um... There's little Trivia Time over there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, on the far right.

'''MATT:''' ''{agreeing}'' Mmm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' The cookie jar. So is this, um, Bennedetto's wife or mom?

'''MATT:''' I've always said it was his mom.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, me too.

'''MATT:''' That's what I figured.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. People always thought he swore there, I remember, 'cause he says, "best frigging soldier"...?

===Fun Facts===
*The Brothers Chaps point out [[the Geddup Noise]], which would later get [[geddup noise|its own email]].
*The list of commando names would later be published on [[@StrongBadActual]], and [[Rejected Cheat Commandos|Little Albert and Runfire]] would be given fan-made designs.
*Mike notes how Homestar is [[Homestar Runner Poking People|often seen poking]] other characters.

'''Commentary''': Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homestar Runner talk about the movie as it's being played.

'''Deleted Scenes''': A pixelated challenge modeled after the Atari 2600 game ''[http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]''; Coach Z and Homestar Runner in the shower room; and Strong Mad telling Marzipan about the Yello Dello.

==Transcripts==
{{YelloDello}}

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) mimics the looping music used on some DVD menus. Due to technical limitations, music used in DVD menus cannot loop and is often faded out similarly to the music used here.
*Strong Bad's name being in a box in the theatrical trailer is a common tactic used in movie poster credits to highlight the name of a well-known actor who is not top-billed.

=== Remarks ===
*In the third deleted scene (where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role), the tattoo on Strong Mad's right arm is of the band [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]]. He is also wearing a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
*The flower that Marzipan is watering is similar to the flower in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.
*Marzipan's handprint seems to indicate that she has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms and hands]].
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version.
*The link to the storyboards no longer works.
*Despite the Yello Dello's feminine appearance and the fact that it's referred to as a ''her'', it speaks in a male voice.
*This is the first appearance of [[Atari 2600]] graphics in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.
*Strong Sad's pixellated appearance during the montage depicts him with a gray face and white upper body, rather than a white face and grey upper body.
*In Deleted Scene #1, there are 52 extra frames that consist of the scene's background (with a white sky instead of the multicoloured one and the barn and fence removed) while the plane's sound plays.

=== Goofs ===
*In the scene where Pom Pom is floating, the dots on Homestar's hat disappear while he talks.
*In the locker room scene, Coach Z's right foot is cut down by a thin gray line in the middle, showing a mistake in copy and pasting.
*In the scene where Pom Pom and Homestar are supporting Strong Sad so he can tell his story, Homestar wakes up and slides out from underneath Strong Sad, yet Strong Sad doesn't move (he was previously standing on top of Homestar).
*In Deleted Scene #1, when the plane hits the barn, the sky will move to the left, exposing a thin white area.

=== Inside References ===
*The [[goat]] head that pops out from behind the mountain in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario also appeared in [[Audition with Marzipan]].
*In the commentary, Strong Sad reveals that he dreams of [[Death#Strong Sad|his own death]] (over and over and over...).
*In the commentary, Homestar accidentally introduces the toon as "the King of Town Super DVD", which references to [[The King of Town DVD]].
*In the commentary, Strong Bad's saying that he doesn't trust Pom Pom any further than he can throw him is another reference to [[The King of Town DVD]], where Strong Bad makes the same quote in the commentary about [[that little chef guy]].
*[[Oven mitts]] appear several times in the DVD.
*The [[alien]] is seen [[showering]], and his [[towel]] falls off.
*The rating slide in the trailer reads, "EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!", a reference to the [[Intro]].
*The Australian narrator's line about the Yello Dello being the rarest and most beautiful bird in the cartoon is a [[fourth wall break]].
*The story that Strong Sad tells to the Yello Dello is similar to the third Strong Sad Lib in [[Strong Libs]].

=== Real-World References ===
*"Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[The Three Stooges]]' quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the [[Atari 2600]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Barnstorming (video game)|Barnstorming]]''.
*In the third deleted scene, Strong Mad sports a [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] tattoo.
*The scene with the [[scorpion]] is from the classic Atari 2600 game [[Wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]].
**The song played at the end of the cartoon is the sound effect from Pitfall for when the player dies.
*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of... (TV series)|In Search of...]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Star Trek]]'s [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).
*[[Wikipedia:Mello Yello|Mello Yello]] (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by [[Coca-Cola]] similar to [[Mountain Dew]].
*The voice-over that describes the Yello Dello is similar to [[Wikipedia:Steve Irwin|Steve Irwin]], also known as The Crocodile Hunter.
*"Discover Network" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Discovery Channel|Discovery Channel]].
*The menu theme is similar to the music from ''[[Wikipedia:Pitfall II: Lost Caverns|Pitfall II: Lost Caverns]]''.
*The Yello Dello's manner of eating is a reference to the [[LucasArts]] adventure game ''[[Wikipedia:LOOM|LOOM]]'', in which a seagull eats a clam in the same way.
*The character from the Atari 2600 game ''[[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]]'' that Homestar mentions in the commentary is the Yar that is controlled in the game. In the game, squares can be eaten off of the Qotile's (the enemy) shield.

=== Fast Forward ===
*The quote "Oh, Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?" would be said again by Homestar in [[The Luau]].
*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into the ducks, Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this [[freakin']] [[duck]] away from me!" This would be later said by Strong Bad relating to the [[Atari dragon]] on [[Main Page 13]].
*The quote, "I think I has the solution" was later said by Strong Bad in [[little questions]].
**Strong Sad says "I think I has the solution" in [[Haunted Photo Booth]].
*The [[rating screen]] in the theatrical trailer is used again in the trailer for [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*The intro of [[160 Seconds]] is done in the style of the intros of the deleted scenes.
*Marzipan's shriek from the Old Version can be heard in the [[Most in the Graveyard Teaser]].

== Everything Else Vol. 2 Version ==
*Switch the audio in the Old Version to hear commentary from Mike and Matt Chapman and Peter Olsen.
*The storyboard now has commentary.
*When played in "Play All", only the New Version is played.
*An Easter egg is added involving a 4th Deleted Scene.

''{Open to a blue background with Michael Stipe's face with a message reading "Deleted Scene #4; 'Yello Dello' featured Strong Sad's first spoken lines in a cartoon. This was the first stab at his voice: Matt's bad [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]] impression. So bad, in fact, that it was never to be heard again". Cut to Strong Sad in a scene from the new version of Yello Dello.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounds supposedly like Michael Stipe.}'' I don't know, Homestar. That looks... really dangerous.

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut to a closer shot}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut to a long shot}''

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

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

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

''{cut back to long shot}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{close-up of Homestar}''

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

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

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

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the period to see a scene with Strong Bad and The Cheat at Bubs' Concession Stand.
:''{The Cheat is on the counter of the stand, beside Bubs, while Strong Bad looks on. A sign is taped on the counter, reading, "BUBS A VET NOW! GET IT?"}''
:'''BUBS:''' ''{to Strong Bad}'' And I'm gonna need you to fill ''this'' up.
:''{He takes out a trash can, which has a fill line drawn on it and a "Grody Sample" label taped to it}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho. Sorry, The Cheat.
:'''BUBS:''' ''{suddenly angry}'' I'm not looking at The Cheat!
:''{Strong Bad looks surprised}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia: Spacetime|Space-time]] is a mathematical model that combines space and time into a single entity.
===Trivia===
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Strong Bad tries to remember how he pulled of the best caper ever."

===Remarks===
*When Homestar yells, his voice echoes, even though there is nothing around him for his voice to echo off of.
*Homestar mentions a "bloated sea lion carcass" despite the fact that sea lions do not actually live in the Arctic Ocean.
*The Cheat bends his arms as if he had hands.
*The globe showing where Homestar is resembles more of the United States globe, rather than that of [[Free Country, USA]]. There also appears to be no Arctic on the previously shown globes of the Homestar Runner world.
*When the camera zooms out to show the satellite footage, Homestar is missing his eyes, his star, his buzzer, and the lip of his hat.

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

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

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

===Inside References===
*The Cheat is said to have tainted Homestar's [[melonade]] by [[peeing]] in it.
*One of the people to whom Homestar called for help was [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's relationship|himself]].
*The tune played at the end of this short resembles the song [[The Cheat is Not Dead]], which originates from [[caper]], as well as the music at the end of [[Play Date]].
*The emails [[garage sale]] and [[space program]] also have Easter eggs that end with Strong Bad making a surprised face in response to a suggestive comment.

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

Strong Sad goes to the beach?

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

'''Places:''' [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]], [[Depressio Beach]]

'''Date:''' Monday, June 16, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 2:11

'''Page Title:''' Greetings From Depressio Beach!

==Transcript==
''{Open with a panning shot of Strong Bad, Bubs and Homestar Runner sitting on the couch, making unintelligible sounds like the murmur of conversation.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off camera}'' Ahem!

''{The lights turn off. Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad's head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Thank you all for coming to my slide show pre-sentation!

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Slide show?! You said you found a dead body!

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' You told me there'd be's casseroles!

''{Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're welcome.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Summertime is generally a happy time, making it my least favorite time of year. So in order to make myself appropriately miserable, I decided to embrace all the hoopla and go to the beach.

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, that's where you were. We all figured you were inside that barrel again. Moistening yourself, or whatever.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{angrily}'' It's called "The Dampening" and it helps me focus! ''{Normal voice}'' Now, let's begin.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in silhouette with a [[Projections|projection screen]] in the background. A slide comes down with the title written in the sand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' "My Somber Vacation".

''{The slides fill the screen. First slide is Strong Sad standing on the beach.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Since I don't have a lot of beach apparel, The King of Town's blacksmith was kind enough to let me borrow ''{New slide: Strong Sad is posing in [[The Blacksmith]]'s black [[Wikipedia:Welding helmet|welding mask]] and apron. The apron has burn marks at the lower right corner and under the left arm.}'' this revealing little number. Even though I couldn't see anything with it on, I think it's safe to assume this ''really'' turned some heads.

''{New slide: a sand sculpture of a Strong Sad headstone and grave with a single rose on top.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Next, I went ahead and buried myself alive in the sand. ''{Close up of the headstone with a 3rd place ribbon and Strong Sad making a thumbs-up sign out of the sand.}'' I won third place in a sand sculpture competition.

''{Close up of sea shells}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Instead of collecting seashells, I stalked the sandy shores looking for ''{Slide of a broken styrofoam cooler with green stains, with a shell and beer bottle also visible}'' algae-covered chunks of styrofoam coolers. ''{Slide of several chunks with faces drawn on them and pipe cleaner limbs}'' I added googly eyes and some pipe cleaner and then played beach volleyball with them. ''{Slide of Strong Sad with a yellow volleyball embedded in his face}'' They won handily.

''{Strong Sad is smiling and holding a styrofoam cup with drink umbrellas and sand around the rim.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Here I am enjoying my favorite tropical beverage: a scalding hot cup of black coffee with beach sand on the rim. The bartender kept calling it a "Sucks On The Beach".

''{Strong Sad is standing alone on the beach, silhouetted against the moon}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My last night there, I went for a long midnight walk on the beach. It would've been nice and lonely, if I didn't keep tripping over teenage and European couples making out. But, of course, I forgot to put on any moonscreen—

''{Cut back to the basement as the lights come on. Strong Sad is now completely pink except for an area on his chest that looks like a bikini top.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' — so I got burned to a crisp!

''{Cut to a panning shot of the couch, where Strong Bad, Bubs, and Homestar are laughing.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{Close-up}'' Well, heeb my jeebies!

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Shut up! It's a skin condition! ''{He pats his belly}'' This is just how I tan. I can't help it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off camera}'' Ha ha ha-ha ha! ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' Lookin' good, Miss July!

''{A [[postcard]] of moonburnt and smiling Strong Sad lying on the beach appears on the screen, reading "Depressio Beach" "Wish U Were Here! XOXO"}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:TheDampening.png|thumb|non disturbare!]]
*Click on XOXO on the postcard at the end to see Strong Sad in his Dampening barrel.
:''{In the Strongs' basement, lights down. Close up on a wooden barrel against the wall. A sign is taped to the barrel, written in a calligraphic style "the Dampening in progress! non disturbare!"}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Sweetness. Sweetness. I was only joking when I said.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Sucks On The Beach" is a play on the real [[alcohol|cocktail]] [[Wikipedia:Sex on the beach (cocktail)|Sex on the Beach]].
*[[Wikipedia:Heebie-jeebies (idiom)|Heebie-jeebies]] is an old slang term for feeling anxious or nervous.
*"Non disturbare" means "do not disturb" in Italian.

===Remarks===
*When the toon was first released, the Easter egg was unfinished. There was no audio and no way to reach it without a browser addon or external Flash viewer to navigate beyond the "end" of the toon.
*When the toon was first released, the slides were in focus as they came onto the screen. The effect that makes them appear out of focus at first was added later.
*The Cheat, who is not seen in this cartoon, is heard laughing with the others.


===Goofs===
*Bubs's face overlaps part of his teeth.

*Strong Sad's mouth closes too early on the letters "ach" in the word "beach".

===Inside References===
*Bubs says [[be's]].
*Strong Sad first used Depressio to refer to himself in [[depressio]].
*Strong Sad [[Buried Alive|buries himself alive]] in [[Death#Strong Sad|his own grave]].
*Strong Sad makes some [[googly-eyed objects]].
*The style for this toon (a slideshow presented by Strong Sad) was originally presented as an unused idea in [[From the Vault]].
*Strong Sad has previously stated that he disliked the beach in the [[Strong Sad's Lament]] entry "Dr. Scholls?".
*There are some more examples of [[Strong Bad smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad smiling]].
*The seashells were previously seen in [[what I want]].
*Strong Sad keeps tripping over couples [[Making Out|making out]].
*Strong Sad previously sang from inside a locked container of water in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] with the same echoic effect.
*The bartender calls Strong Sad's drink a "[[Sucks]] on the Beach".

===Real-World References===
*In the Easter egg, Strong Sad is singing lyrics from the song "[[Wikipedia:Bigmouth Strikes Again|Bigmouth Strikes Again]]" by [[Wikipedia:The Smiths|The Smiths]].

==Transcript==
''{Open on Coach Z and Strong Sad sitting at a table. Coach Z is wearing a gladiator's barbute, and Strong Sad is wearing his astronaut helmet}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it's like a tricycle, but with nineteen wheels instead of three! ''{pronounced "tree"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, that's a ''horrible'' recipe!

'''COACH Z:''' Lemme run this one by ya. We start with a pound of rubber cement...

''{Cut to another view of the table, with Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith. Strong Mad is wearing a Nacho football helmet on top of his head, Bubs is wearing a fire helmet, and The Poopsmith is wearing a Judge Dredd helmet}''

'''BUBS:''' I haven't been able to fit into my lucky pants for almost ten years! That's why come I'm in such a bad mood all the time!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN LET OUT THE WAIST ''{Holds up needle and an extremely short length of thread}'' A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, that'd be a sweet deal I couldn't refuse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Order!

''{Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith pay attention. Cut to Homestar, who's wearing his horned Viking helmet and banging a turkey drumstick on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Order! I hereby call this meeting of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets to order! Now let us begin with a rousing rendition of our frothy, shanty chant. ''{Waving drumstick like a conductor's baton}'' And one, two, three!

''{Cut to another view of the table. Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z are visible. Strong Bad is wearing a miner's helmet}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut to another view. Strong Sad and Pom Pom are visible. Pom Pom is wearing a Samurai helmet. Strong Sad isn't singing and has his arms folded}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Singing—

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' One more time!

''{Cut to a shot of The Poopsmith, The King of Town and Strong Sad, slowly zooming out. The King of Town is wearing a German Pickelhaube.}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ...ever and more...

''{Cut to The Cheat next to Strong Mad. The Cheat is wearing a British custodian helmet.}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ...ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad! Why weren't you singing?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't believe in the message!

''{Cut to a view of Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, yes you do. All in favor?

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z}''

'''ALL EXCEPT STRONG SAD:''' Aye!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All opposed?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nay!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The ayes win! ''{He ducks under the table and reappears next to Strong Sad}'' You believe in the message now!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Patting Homestar on the back and smiling}'' I really do!

''{Homestar ducks under the table and reappears in his original position}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I now give the floor to our treasurer, regarding shiny new ways to misappropriate funds.

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Thank you, Brotherstar Runnerbro... ther. Well, I've taken the minutes ''{holds them up, music starts playing}'' from last month's meeting and sold them as rollover minutes ''{holds up another piece of paper with a picture of [[Homsar]] on it}'' to third world countries! ''{places both pieces of paper down}'' Then I bought myself, I mean the Broternal Order of Different Helmets, a jetski! ''{holds up a jetski, slightly knocking the light, and puts it down}'' But then I wrecked it and broke my shin! ''{holds up crumpled leg}'' So now my rubbing ointment ''{holds up tube of [[BUBRUB!]]}'' costs fifty bucks a tube!

''{Record scratch sound effect. Music stops. Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fantastic! And now, to help me demonstrate the new secret handshake, I call forth, Brother of Town.

''{The King of Town comes onscreen}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Boooo-ooo! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen, simultaneously}'' Yaaaaay!

''{Homestar and the King of Town move around for a second. Hand slapping is heard}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody got it? This: ''{The word "This" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around as three arrows appear onscreen}'' Then this: ''{The words "Then this" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around some more and more complex arrows, including one that branches into three, appear on the screen}'' And now Brother Strong Bad, with his weekly power play.

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Clears throat, then speaks angrily}'' What's the matter with you guys?! I should be in charge here! Why is Homestar running this secret club?! ''{banging his fist on the table}'' Singing songs and secret handshakes?! That's rejected Girl Scout camp material! Put me in charge, and we'll be hitting each other with wooden stools until the morning light! Eating triple-fried pork rinds and burping video game music six ways till Tuesday! "Ever and More"?! That's horse puckey, you fools! It's all marketing mumbo jumbo! ''{upset}'' DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT!!

''{Strong Bad pants and shakes. Homestar leans onscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you, Strong Bad. We look forward to hearing from you next week.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{subdued}'' Thank you, Supreme Overlord.

''{Homestar leans offscreen. Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And with that, our meeting is adjourned. So everybody buddy up and get to work on that secret handshake. I'm gonna go take a bath in a pile of gold coins.

''{Homestar walks offscreen. Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat imitating the movements Homestar and the King of Town made earlier, with their hands on their hips. Cut to the words "end, friend." on a black screen}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "friend." at the end of the short to see Homestar Runner lying in a bathtub full of gold coins in the bathroom of the Brothers Strong.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing to the tune of the ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]]'' theme song}'' Lasers, race cars, aeroplanes, doot doo, ah-doot doo!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Broternal" is a [[portmanteau]] of "brotherhood" and "fraternal", two words that are often found in names of male-only secret societies.
*[[Wikipedia:Minutes|Meeting minutes]] are a summary of what was discussed at a meeting.
*Rollover minutes, offered by [[Wikipedia:AT&T Mobility|AT&T Mobility]] (formerly Cingular Wireless), are unused wireless phone minutes from one month that can be carried over and used in the next.
*The page title conforms to the practice of referring to a [[Wikipedia:Local union|local union]] as a "local" followed by that local union's number. These organizations are also commonly named "brotherhoods" or "fraternal orders".

===Trivia===
*This toon's [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]] reads, "loading, friend."

===Remarks===
*Bubs refers to last month's minutes, implying monthly meetings. However, Homestar Runner implies at the end that the meetings are weekly, unless of course this is the first meeting of a month.

===Goofs===
[[Image:StrongMadMouth everandmore.png|thumb|I CAN LOOSEN REALITY FOR YOU!]]
*When Strong Mad holds up the needle, his "O" mouth animation causes an extra line (his chin) to overlap the needle.
*There are numerous inconsistencies regarding the placement of the characters around the table. For instance, in the first shot Coach Z is on Strong Sad's right, but when they are singing "Ever and More!" The King of Town appears on Strong Sad's right. Also, the Poopsmith is on Bubs's left when he is talking about his lucky pants, but during the song Strong Bad is on Bubs's left. Also, during the song, Strong Mad's silhouette appears right next to Homestar's, but when Homestar asks Strong Sad why he isn't singing, Pom Pom is right next to him, not Strong Mad.

===Inside References===
* The order's song was previously sung by Homestar in [[the movies]]. Homestar also wore the [[horned helmet]] in that email.
* Strong Sad's astronaut costume was previously seen in [[senior prom]], though he's only wearing the helmet part here.
* Strong Bad's miner helmet was seen in the emails [[cheatday]] and [[different town]].
* The King of Town's [[pickelhaube]] is similar to the one [[The Kaiser]], his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, wears.
* The Broternal Order's secret handshake is another reference to characters' [[lack of visible arms]].
* When Strong Sad is told that he believes in the message of the song, he [[Strong Sad smiling|smiles]].
* The pennant on the wall reads "[[LEMKE]]!".
* Bubs's jetski is labeled "WETSKi", another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
* Bubs mentions his lucky [[pants]].
* Pom Pom's [[Wikipedia: samurai|samurai]] helmet is a reference to Pom Pom's [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|martial arts skills]].
* The webpage title mentions [[style]].
* Coach Z is drinking a [[Coldson Lite]].
* Bubs says the phrase "[[why come]]".
* There is an [[interrupted conversation]] at beginning of this cartoon.
* The King of Town [[The King of Town Booing|boos]] himself.

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cold Ones Light Old Style.png|thumb|Old Style Cold Ones]]
*The Poopsmith is wearing [[Wikipedia:Judge Dredd|Judge Dredd]]'s helmet.
*The [[Cold Ones]] Light poster closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:Pabst Brewing Company#Old Style|Old Style]] beer logo.
*The lyrics Homestar sings in the bathtub of gold coins are a rearranged segment of the theme song to [[Disney]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]],'' with the lines "racecars, lasers, aeroplanes" changed to "lasers, racecars, aeroplanes", and "It's a duck blur" replaced with "Doot do, ah doot-do." Homestar's behavior mirrors that of [[Wikipedia: Scrooge McDuck|Scrooge McDuck]], the central character in DuckTales, who enjoys swimming through his coin-filled [[Wikipedia:Money Bin|Money Bin]].
*[[BUBRUB]] may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Whistle tip#Internet culture|Bubb Rubb]], who became an internet phenomenon after appearing on a story by [[Wikipedia:KRON-TV|KRON-TV]] about whistle tips, devices welded into a car's muffler to cause a loud whistle as the exhaust gas passes through. Further, [[the Brothers Chaps]] paraphrase his "catchphrase" in the DVD commentary.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD title of the toon is "Ever and More" without the exclamation point.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

''{music is playing in the background.}''

'''MIKE:''' So we've got the jazz stylings of Ryan... Michael Sterritt. Is your middle name Michael?

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' That's my first name.

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' But my middle name is not Ryan.

'''RYAN:''' Why not?

'''MIKE:''' Anyway, Matt?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this cartoon came from something from a very long time ago, uh... when we just thought of Homestar Runner singing an "Ever and More, Ever and More" song. I don't know what it came from.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with a viking helmet on.

'''MATT''': Yeah. And so we stuck it in that movies sbemail, and then decided that that means Homestar's in some kind of elks lodge type thing.

'''MIKE:''' My question to you, Matt, is "What is the team— the football team that Strong Mad is on?"

'''MATT:''' Uh, the— the Nachos?

'''MIKE:''' Eh, are they just called the Nachos?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. It's got a nice fresh jalepeño on it though.

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' It's kind of a poor nacho honestly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ha! Come on!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' A corn chip with a single fresh jalepeño on it.

'''MIKE:''' That's classy, man! That's classy!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' That does not make—

'''MIKE:''' Haven't you ever been to a fancy restaurant? It's all about presentation.

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' Look at the stairs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Oh, we're in Pom Pom's basement, right? Have we decided—?

'''MIKE:''' The rumpus room.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Pom Pom's got a nice bunk basement. ''{pause}'' Um.. ''{watching Bubs's treasurer scene}'' That looks like one of those like— when little kids have fire helmets, those plastic fire helmets they let little kids wear.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The party favor, like, birthday hats.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Bubs holds up the [[Wetski]]}''

'''MIKE:''' The Wetski!

''{Bubs holds up his broken shin}''

'''MATT:''' Eww.

''{Bubs holds up his [[BUBRUB!]]}''

'''MATT:''' BUBRUB! ''{both laugh}'' He makes it go ''{singing}'' "Ooh! Ooh!" ''{pause}'' Do you want a "cold ones Light" po— poster, Ryan, for your rumpus room?

'''RYAN:''' I do.

'''MATT:''' Let's make those.

'''RYAN:''' You should.

'''MATT:''' We'll get sued by Old Style.

''{everyone laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' Can't get it down here anyways.

'''MATT:''' That's true. ''{pause}'' And we all know that the only people that buy stuff from our website ''{laughs}'' live here in Decatur.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, do these things still— when we're older, in our fifties, are there still gonna be these kind of elk lodges things?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't know. Or, like, is our generation gonna, just, kill 'em off basically?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, or do— as we get older are we gonna want to do that?

'''MATT:''' I don't know.

'''MIKE:''' I'd kinda like to hang out in some weird hall with a few other guys—

'''MATT:''' Put on a funny hat.

'''MIKE:''' —put on a funny hat—

'''MATT:''' Sing a song.

'''MIKE:''' —maybe do things on Saturday mornings.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''RYAN:''' Are you gonna have breakfast?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um... Ryan, you're really soothing me. I can't think of anything to say because I'm so soothed.

'''MIKE:''' Sing!

'''MATT:''' I've been sooth-sayed.

'''MIKE:''' Why don't you do a little singing?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' The Cheat looks like— The Cheat's a bobby.

'''MIKE:''' That rhymes.

Mario

2018-07-19T07:52:10Z

Octan: As mentioned before, source is @ShadowTodd on Twitter; I have not seen the movie myself.

[[Image:KingofTown Mario.PNG|thumb|"I'm a video game!"]]

[[The Brothers Chaps]] have made lots of references in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work to '''[[Wikipedia:Mario (series)|Mario]]''', one of the most famous video game series of all time. This list includes not just character references, but also sound references heard in (and even associated with) the series.

==Appearances==
*[[Store Thank You Messages]] — The page title, "Thank you so much for to buying our crap!!" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]] ending, where Mario says, "Thank you so much for to playing my game."
*[[Super NES]] — The page title, "Super Homestario Bros.", is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''
*[[The Reddest Radish]] — After she wins the contest, [[Marzipan]] says "I'm the winner!" similar to how [[Wikipedia:Princess Peach|Princess Peach]] says it in the ''[[Wikipedia:Mario Party|Mario Party]]'' series.
*[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] involves several references to the Mario body of work, especially ''Super Mario Bros.'':
**[[The King of Town]]'s Halloween costume is Mario himself.
**Bubs's Halloween costume is Captain Lou Albano, who provided the voice of Mario on ''[[Wikipedia:The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!|The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', a cartoon TV series based on the games.
**When the King of Town learns that his pumpkin entry in the contest receives a "worst place" prize, he laments, "Sorry, king, but our princess is in another castle." This refers to ''Super Mario Bros.'' in that, up until the final castle (in level 8-4), whenever Mario saves the Toads from [[Wikipedia:Bowser (Nintendo)|Bowser]] in the castles, they always say to him, "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!"
**The [[Super Kingio Brothers]] Easter egg spoofs the title card, level 1-1, the game over screen and the music heard during all scenes in ''Super Mario Bros.''
*Email [[japanese cartoon]] — One of the NES endings in an Easter egg is the ending to ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
*[[Awexome Cross]] — The sound effects for jumping, crashing and collecting buxx are taken from ''Super Mario Bros.'' The jump sound is the solid block hit sound, the crash sound is the block-break sound and the buxx collect sound is the coin collect sound.
*Email [[mile]] — During the parade for The Cheat, the rhythmic "song" heard is from ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which is played during the airship levels. Also, the exploding fireworks sound effect sounds like the sound effect created by the cannon fire and exploding [[Wikipedia:List of Mario series enemies#Bob-omb|Bob-ombs]] from these levels.
*Email [[pom pom]] — When [[Pom Pom]] is pounding [[Strong Bad]], various sound effects from ''Super Mario Bros.'', such as the "coin collect" sound and the "1-Up" sound, are heard whenever Pom Pom connects.
*[[Duck Guardian]] — The falling robot heads resemble the original Thwomp and the eggs resemble those of [[Wikipedia:Yoshi|Yoshi]].
*Email [[comic]] ([[comic#Easter Egg Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]]) — In the Easter egg, [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] first mimic and then make reference to the 1-Up sound made by the [[Wikipedia:Mushroom (Mario)|green mushroom powerups]] in the Mario series.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] has many Mario references:
**"Firey-Hot" is a recolor of the fire cannons' blasts in the airship levels of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
**"Old Sage" looks similar to the spikes in the moon level of ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]''.
**"The Liekand" looks very similar to Fryguy, the Level 4 boss from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
***The fact that The Liekand turns into a mouse may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Mouser|Mouser]], a boss from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', who is also a mouse that also wears sunglasses.
**Many NES games featured the letter 'P' (presumably for "Power") in various forms, such as the P-switches, P-Wings and P-Gauges in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. This may explain the collectible Ps in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]].
**The name for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]] is a reference a glitch in Level 1-2 of ''Super Mario Bros.'' in which walking through a wall will take you to a [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]].
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]] — [[Tompkins]] is evidently playing a Mario game on his [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]]. When [[So and So]] invites him for some rebound action, Tompkins dismisses her invitation and says that he has "Bowser on the ropes". A [[Wikipedia:List of Mario series enemies#Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] shell then [[Internet slang|pØwn]]s So and So.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — The Cheat's Halloween costume is Mario character [[Wikipedia:Toad (Mario)|Toad]]. The high jump he does is the same one that Toad does when he gets hit in ''[[Wikipedia:Mario Kart 64|Mario Kart 64]]'', in which Toad's kart also lands with a POOMP. The Cheat also makes some sounds similar to what Toad says when he wins a race ("I'm the best!") as well as Toad's cries when he has been hit.
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]] — One of the storyboards of Strong Sad's email idea involves Homestar wearing a [http://www.mariowiki.com/Snifit Snifit] mask. Snifits are one of the henchmen of [[Wikipedia:List of Mario franchise characters#Wart|Wart]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
*Email [[retirement]] — When Strong Bad discovers the Lappy close by, the dramatic music heard during this scene is reminiscent of the boss music from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Likewise, Strong Bad scrambling back and forth under the Lappy is likely a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong 3|Donkey Kong 3]]''.
*[[Fan Costumes '06]] — In a picture of a Homestar Runner costume, a person is seen dressed as Mario in the background. Additionally, the person wearing the Homestar costume can be seen inside its mouth, prompting Strong Bad to ask if Homestar ate [[Wikipedia:Luigi|Luigi]], Mario's brother in the Mario body of work. After giving an affirmative response, Homestar remarks that Luigi tasted like mushrooms, referring to the mushroom powerups that appear throughout the Mario series.
*[[The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show!!]] — The King of Town calls his servants Beezos, which are one of the henchmen of Wart in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]] and subsequent appearances of [[Peacey P]] — Peacey P frequently calls people "biscuitheads", like Luigi does to Iggy Koopa at one point in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. (film)|the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]].
*[[Most in the Graveyard]] — Strong Mad's Halloween costume is a [[Wikipedia:List_of_Mario_series_enemies#Thwomp|Thwomp]], a common enemy in the Mario line of work that originated in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Twice during the toon, Strong Mad jumps, and when he lands, the ground shakes, further referencing the enemy his costume depicts, which also falls down from the castle ceiling and hits the ground, shaking it on impact.
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — The egg in [[Cave Girl Squad]] resembles a Yoshi egg.
*[[8-Bit Is Enough]] contains a number of Mario references:
**Strong Bad climbing a [http://www.mariowiki.com/Beanstalk beanstalk] to a smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen refers to the cloud stages of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' series.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in the same series.
**The bushes with eyes in the intro screen refer to ''Super Mario Bros.''
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]''.

Octan: Just found out about this from Todd in the Shadows' Twitter of all things.

'''Peacey P''' is a well-known rapper. [[The Ugly One]] is a fan of his, and he first appeared when The Ugly One misunderstood [[What's Her Face]]'s mentioning [[Wikipedia:Phencyclidine|PCP]]. In addition to PCP, his name bears a striking resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Eazy-E|Eazy-E]] and [[Wikipedia:Percee P|Percee P]]. His voice resembles that of [[Wikipedia:Snoop Dogg|Snoop Dogg]] or [[Wikipedia:André 3000|André 3000]]. His speech is very muddled, and some of what he says is unintelligible. This is especially the case in [[Powered by The Cheat]] segments, when he doesn't say anything remotely intelligible at all. He has a symbolized representation of his name ("☮y P") on his shirt, and a very large [[afro]]. His album ''Deliberance'' was released on [[Crample-O Stow Records]]. According to Teen Girl Squad Issue #13, ''Deliberance'' "drops next Sursdai." His [[catch phrase]] is "y'all [[biscuits|biscuitheads]]," which may be a reference to a line from [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. (film)|the Super Mario Bros. movie]].

Peacey P is primarily known as a guest rapper, and has even [[Featuring Oneself|guest-starred on his own album]]. His self proclamation as "the best guest rapper in the music biz" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Nate Dogg|Nate Dogg]], who is better known for being featured on the hooks of many hit hip hop tracks. He is also known for his flagrant indifference toward the artists he raps with, including ordering breakfast in the middle of [[Coach Z]]'s ''[[Rap Song]]'', and refusing to appear with [[Taranchula]] in ''[[Trudgemank]]'' until they offered him a substantial sum of money, then telling them to take a shower at the end of the song anyway. He has also collaborated with [[Tenerence Love]] at least three times.

Peacey P has never actually appeared in [[Free Country, USA]]. He has only ever been portrayed in [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[Powered by The Cheat]], except for a stylized appearance on his album ''Deliberance'' and while advertising for [[Blubb-O's]].

[[Homestar Runner]] wears a Peacey P shirt in [[Main Page 24]].

==Transcript==

=== Marzipan's Greeting ===

'''MARZIPAN:''' Bonjour, amigos. Je m'appelle Marzipanio. Please leave me a messiaggio and I will call you back-io. Toodle-oo toots, everyone. ''{beep}''

===Message 5===

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, hey, there, Marzy. I was just callin' to see, uh, whether we were just friends, or... more than just friends. See, I sometimes forget what's real and what's just in my head. So, uh, gimme a call back or, uh, maybe just come on by my place and we can discuss this over a bowl o' Cracklin' Oat Bran or... the Crunch Berries. Okay. Take the care. Oh, and by that I mean, like, uh, Tender Lovin' Care, not... not, uh, take my automobile. A lot of times people have trouble understandin'...

===Message 4===

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a sweepstakes announcer voice}'' Hello, Marzipan! This is Sweepstakes Ron, come to bring you great news! You have been randomly selected to win an unlimited supply of one million ''{quickly, under his breath}'' punchesintheface. So, to claim your prize, just blindfold yourself and walk out on the front stow-oop, st– or stoop... and get ready to receive your free million ''{quickly, under his breath}'' punchesintheface. Don't delay! Get outside right now! I'm waiting in the bushes! I mean... uh, for to give you the million ''{quickly, under his breath}'' punchesintheface.

===Message 3===

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hello? I think I have the wrong number. Your voice sounds like this is the wrong number. But just in case, can I interest you in a challenge? Or maybe some light fighting? If so, ''{the sound of Stinkoman charging up is heard}'' call me on my cell phoooone!

===Message 2===

'''GRAPE-NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{monotone}'' Hello, Marz-pan.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, now make him say it. Make him say it!

'''GRAPE-NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{monotone}'' Kiss the butt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Did he just say "Kiss ''the'' butt"? No, make him say "Kiss ''my'' butt".

'''GRAPE-NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{monotone}'' Kiss a butt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not "Kiss a butt"! What's wrong with this thing, Bubs?

'''BUBS:''' I thought I told you no names!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I, er, der, der— ''{hangs up phone, dial tone}''

===Message 1===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's up, Paughkeegan? This is Homestar Runner ''{The Cheat walks by in the background}'' from homestarrunner.com, and you're listening to the Cornbread Hour, here on WPKG, pointy-point-five, the voice of Paughkeegan State! ''{pause}'' Okay... Sweepstakes Ron? Are you there? Hello? You told me to call this number and leave a radio promo, and then you'd- you'd give me the sweepstakes. So... gimme some of that sweepstakes.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*"Bonjour" is [[French]] for "good day".
*"Amigos" is [[Spanish]] for "friends".
*"Je m'appelle" means "I call myself" ("My name is") in French.

===Trivia===
*This is the first Answering Machine where a character makes a personal appearance.

===Remarks===
*This answering machine came out in June of 2003, but the answering machine blew up from Strong Bad's prank call in [[personal favorites]], which came out in April of 2003. However, it is possible that Strong Bad never actually blew up the answering machine, given that many of the "emails" were made up.
**Interestingly, although it denies the existence of the answering machine explosion, it ''does'' confirm the existence of the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]] Bubs built in another "personal favorite."
*Messiagio is close to the Italian word for "message", but not quite. It's actually "messaggio".
*When Strong Bad and Bubs hang up from their prank call, a dial tone is heard. However, hanging up while talking to an answering machine should just end the message.
*In Strong Bad's sweepstakes message, he first offers an unlimited supply of one million punches in the face. This is contradictory, as one million is a definite number, while unlimited is infinite. It is possible that the supply of punches, while unlimited, comes in installments of one million punches at a time.

===Inside References===

*Strong Bad prank calling as a radio sweepstakes announcer is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]], where Marzipan's outgoing message states that Strong Bad's "radio contest" prank call is her favorite.

===Real-World References===

*"Pointy point five" and "voice of Paughkeegan State" are references to Atlanta's local "eighty eight point five" (Album 88) "the voice of Georgia State."
** "Paughkeegan" seems to be a reference to Waukegan, Illinois.
*[[Wikipedia:Cracklin' Oat Bran|Cracklin' Oat Bran]] and [[Wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|Crunch Berries]] are [[Breakfast Cereal|breakfast cereals]].

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{Stinkoman pops up from behind the viewer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programmed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English. It was previously uttered in [[Main Page 17]].
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.
*A [[Wikipedia:Slush fund|slush fund]] is a reserve of money set aside for illegal or dishonest purposes.
*Strong Bad calls Strong Mad "Red Square", referring to the [[Wikipedia: Red Square|Red Square]] in the [[Wikipedia: Soviet Union|Soviet Union]].
* A [[Wikipedia:Kill screen|kill screen]] is when a video game is played to a certain length (particularly to level 256 in most arcade games) and crashes or freezes, preventing further game play. This is merely the result of a bug or glitch and has very little to do with the score of the game, as Strong Bad mentions.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[computer room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.
*In 2010, in celebration of [[Trogday]], the PC version was made available for free for the whole day.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his fists clip through the couch.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high", but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn, they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans (one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*When Chorch runs into Stinkoman, Stinkoman loses all four of his energy units instead of just one.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.
*When used in the fight against the Ultimate Trogdor, Gel-Arshie claims that he can't be burninated because he's inflammable. However, inflammable actually means the same thing as flammable.
*Homestar remarks that his favorite Olympic hero competed in the "1982 Winter Olympics". There were no Olympics held in 1982, as both the Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same year until 1994. Since the Olympics were held in 1980, the next Olympics weren't until 1984. Furthermore, the hero in question competed in the shotput, typically a Summer Olympic Event.
*The trophy resembles the [[Atari Dragon]]'s chalice.
*This episode is unusual in that in Extended Play, all the [[main characters]] mysteriously disappear (except of course, for Strong Bad, and The Cheat in the Photo Booth).

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.
*The credits subtitle for Stinkoman says "THE POOPSMITH" for a second before he reaches the vertical center.
*One of the emails will still be marked as unread even after Strong Bad reads it.

===Glitches===
[[Image:SnakeCrateGlitch.png|thumb|Those are some dedicated snakes!]]
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4. This is acknowledged in-game when clicking on the washer; Strong Bad says that Strong Sad is still washing the costumes from Dangeresque 3.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedestal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.
*The crates [[Marzipan]] throws are clickable, and they have the same effect as the crate next to the path. Using the [[Snakes]] on the Marzipan's crate have the same effect, even after it's been destroyed by Snake Boxer. Attacking the snakes with Snake Boxer again will make the EGA hat cutscene play again.

*Upon entering the Peasantry area, Strong Bad will remark on the game's status as "the best-selling video computer TV game of all time", as it was previously referred to as in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
**Likewise, the music from the trailer plays as background music in Peasantry and at the final battle, and Rather Dashing speaks exactly as he does in the trailer.
*The [[wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]] [[scorpions]] from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] return in Halfathlon.
*In addition to the four historical figures, the puzzle wheel in the Videlectrix Mainframe depicts Trogdor, the [[Jhonka]], [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]], and [[Kid Speedy]].

*In Extended Play, when trying to get ye flask, the text on the bottom reads "[[seriously]], get ye flask".
*When Chorch gets angry, he says he will make Stinkoman wish he was never born. This phrase was mentioned in Chorch's description in the [[Stinkomanual]].
*Clicking on the pennants in Extended Play will show a credits sequence that mentions [[Cherry Greg]], [[A. Chimendez]], [[Lem Sportsinterviews|"Lem" Sportsinterviews]], [[Douglas]], [[Levert Burtmore]], [[The Deke]], and [[Dennis]], along with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]].
*The "ultimate" form of Strong Bad was mentioned numerous times during the production of SBCG4AP, namely the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] and the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]]. Strong Bad complained numerous times about [[Telltale Games]] not using the "concept art", explaining Strong Bad's remark of "Whoa! They ''finally'' listened to me!"
**The concept art appears again during and after the credits.
*The final cutscene has an instance of [[couch mumbling]].
*Homestar previously ate coins (albeit more deliberately) in [[do over]].
*Homestar mentions his [[hremail]]s in one of the hints he gives.
*When Strong Bad first enters Stinkoman 20X6, he says, "Now I want to be the guy too.", paraphrasing [[1-Up]]'s line in [[japanese cartoon]]: "Everybody says you're the guy. But I wanna be the guy too!"
**Another reference to the same email is made when collecting Stinkoman's robot boots. Strong Bad paraphrases the line about what Stinkoman K would be about when he says, "Now I can totally fly around in space in cool action poses!"
*On the title screen and during the credits, the music is an instrumental version of [[Please Stop Trying To Handle My Style]].
*The 8-bit lantern resembles the one in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Strong Bad tells Strong Sad to "shut up [[nine times]]".
*The dual inclusion of the Roman helmet and Old Timey [[Free Country, USA]] background in the photo booth may refer to an Easter egg in [[highschool]].
*When Stinkoman is defeated by Browntant and Chorch, he says "You made my stummy hurt!" This is a reference to the game over screen of Stinkoman 20X6.
*[[Homestar]] says that [[Coach Z]] bet him a "moist Benjamin" that he couldn't catch Lucky George in his mouth, which is a reference to [[shapeshifter]].
*Strong Bad calls Gel-Arshie his "bromide", which is what he called Homestar in [[bike thief]].

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms. Pac-Man|Ms. Pac-Man]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
**Marzipan also throws crates continuously, similarly how Donkey Kong throws barrels continuously.
**Like Donkey Kong, Marzipan has a hostage (in this case, Bubs). Donkey Kong's hostage was Pauline, a precursor to Peach.
*When approaching the lake, Homestar will refer to various fruits and "power dots", the collectible items in [[Wikipedia:Pac-man|Pac-Man]].
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].
*Some of the games depicted on the Awesomeness screen are [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]], and [[Wikipedia:Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]].
*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, as well.
**Strong Bad's annoyance at Homestar's appearances reflects fan criticism of Navi's purpose.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of [[Wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Hitler]].
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machine guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
*The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
**Strong Bad mentions "the one where some real-world kids get sucked into a video game". [[Wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]] was a cartoon on [[Wikipedia:NBC|NBC]] from 1989 to 1991, about real-world teenager Kevin Keane being pulled into a video game world based on several popular NES titles.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to a similar scene which uses the same quote in the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword, the Sword of Omens, albeit with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.
**When you give John Hancock the item, he says to make sure your family is insured, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Hancock Insurance|John Hancock Insurance]] company.
*Interacting with the mirror in the bathroom will make Strong Bad reference the [[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary legend]].
*The Gel-Arshie portion of the game is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cool Spot|Cool Spot]], a 1993 product placement game for 7-Up that featured its red mascot on a surf board.
*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.
*Strong Bad's remark about the peasants starting a commune is a reference to [[Monty Python|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']], specifically the scene in which Dennis explains that he and his fellow peasants are an [[wikipedia:Anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] commune.
*When Strong Mad is in Halfathlon, he will exclaim "[[Wikipedia:Glasnost|GLASNOST]]! [[Wikipedia:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|SOLZHENITSYN]]!"
**When Strong Bad responds, his pronunciation of "Puttin'" likely refers to [[Russia|Russian]] prime minister and former president, [[Wikipedia:Vladimir Putin|Vladimir Putin]].
**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]], while "Lysenko" is a reference to [[wikipedia: Tatyana Lysenko|Tatyana Lysenko]], a female hammer thrower.
*When Strong Bad gives the trophy to Strong Mad, he says "ich bin ein [[donut]]". This is a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]. Furthermore, it is a play on the urban legend that the [[German]] phrase means "I am a jelly donut."
*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.
*When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in [[Mortal Kombat]].
*When Strong Bad finally uses the performing bear, he shouts "I choose you." This is a reference to [[Pokémon]].
*In the game's music files, Halfathlon is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Summer Games|Summer Games]].
*"The Videlectrix Halfathlon" title mimics the similarly named The Activision Decathlon.
*The box art for Mista Fixit is modeled after the "album cover" boxes of early [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]], complete with an incorporation of the company's logo into the artwork. In particular, the box art is likely spoofing the 1983 EA game [[Wikipedia:Hard Hat Mack|Hard Hat Mack]], whose box art showed a construction worker hanging onto a girder; the Mista Fixit box shows a fallen worker.
*The Mista Fixit game and character may be a reference to the online building game [[Wikipedia:Roblox|Roblox]], as he wears a hard hat and asks Strong Bad if he wants to build something.
*Revealing the ghosts with the camera is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Fatal Frame|Fatal Frame]] series of games, where you also reveal and defeat ghosts in a similar fashion.
*The Videlectrix Power magazine is a reference to the real-world [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] magazine.
*The music and the jump celebration by Strong Bad after defeating Ultimate Trogdor may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy Series]].
*The scene where Strong Bad wakes up and tells everybody they were in his dream is a parody of the ending scene from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad a "dumpa-lumpa" references the Oompa Loompas, the little men that work for Willy Wonka in [[Wikipedia:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]. Interestingly, according to the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]], Strong Sad was [[Rejected Costumes|planned]] to dress as an Oompa Loompa in [[Homestarloween Party]].
*When trying to use the Lappy during the Redcoat Ghost Patrol minigame, Strong Bad declines, saying that he "might get sucked into the screen or something". This is a possible reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]]''.
*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "[[Wikipedia:When a Stranger Calls (1979 film)|When a Stranger Calls]]".
*When Strong Sad walks off with Rather Dashing, he remarks, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", which is the last line of the film [[Wikipedia:Casablanca (film)|Casablanca]].
*When Strong Bad says, "It's starting to knock the husk out of my naturally husky head", this is a reference to [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]] when Frieda says, "It's taking the curl out of my naturally curly hair!"
*One of the Drive-Thru Whale responses, saying that their "fatty melts come scattered, smothered, covered, and humiliated," includes hash brown styles from [[Wikipedia:Waffle House|Waffle House]] (also seen in [[Main Page 5]]).
*Strong Bad calling Homestar a "Pinball Wizard" is a reference to [[The Who]]'s song [[Wikipedia:Pinball Wizard|Pinball Wizard]].
*When Strong Bad looks at the commode, he mentions the abyss staring back at him, a reference to a quote from [[Wikipedia: Friedrich Nietzsche|Friedrich Nietzsche]]'s [[Wikipedia:Beyond Good and Evil|Beyond Good and Evil]]: "When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Dumpy Kong Jr." is an obvious reference to the NES game [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jr.]]
*The line "A winner is you" said by Coach Z is a reference to an infamous line from the NES game [[Wikipedia: Pro Wrestling (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Pro Wrestling]].
*The Drive-Thru Whale mentions "freeze-dried Mormons", which is likely a reference to the "Grilled Mormons" sign in [[Wikipedia: Takeshi's Challenge|Takeshi's Challenge]].

===Fast Forward===
*[[The Topplegangers]] go on to appear in animated form in [[2 Part Episode: Part 2]].
*Ghost photography appears again in [[Haunted Photo Booth]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Bad Emails are a part of this balanced breakfast.

''{reading the email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
What would you do if you where stuck 
on an desert island with Homestar 
Runner? 
 
Yami Yugi 
England</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "were" instead of "where" and "a" instead of "an".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Yami Yugi ''{says the name hesitantly}'', I suspect it would be like most cartoons. You know, we'd start to go nuts after a while and I would look at Homestar and he would look like a big steak. And then Homestar would look at me and I'd look like ''{stops typing}'' you know ''{starts typing again}'' some kinda brownie sundae. ''{clears screen}'' So we'd chase each other around the island, trying to eat each other. And at some point my foot would look like a sandwich and I'd put salt on it and try to eat it and it's like, "Oh! It's my foot!!" ''{clears screen}'' But that's a best-case scenario. I'm sure in real life it would be much more annoying and painful with Homestar involved. ''{he types "Dumpface" instead of "Homestar"}''

''{cut to Homestar and Strong Bad on an island}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are we rescued yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna need to get rescued in a second if you don't quit asking me that. ''{shakes his fist at Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhhhhh... Hey, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''What?''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there ice cream yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna need to get ice cream in a second if you don't quit asking me that. You know... 'cause I'm gonna hit you...and you'll need the ice cream to... stop the swelling.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Stinkoman.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... did you just call me Stinkoman?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, sir, I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Geez. You don't happen to have a gun on your side of the island, do ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Hey, Strong Bad, check this out! ''{turns away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, don't start with that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Toons! ''{An ocean liner passes by with a loud "toot"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Games! ''{An angry-looking, red-eyed, white sperm whale, with harpoons embedded in its body, emerges from the left side of the water. It spurts water from its blowhole and then goes back into the water.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't do another—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Email! ''{A propeller plane with a "WEAR A BIKINI!!" banner attached to it flies by}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, I love doing that. ''{A bottle washes up on the island.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check it out. A message in a bottle. ''{takes a piece of paper out of the bottle and reads it}'' What?

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end you can click on Strong Bad and Homestar to make them turn into various things.
** Strong Bad:
*** Some kinda brownie sundae
*** Hot dog
*** "[[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows#Pinner|Pinner]]" plate of marshmallows, with a [[Bowler Hats|derby]], [[eyepatch]] and [[Smoking|cigar]] from [[Meet Marshie]]

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The alias of the email sender, [[Wikipedia:Yugi Mutou|Yami Yugi]], comes from the name of a main character of the popular anime series and card game [[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh!|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']].

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's remark about it being "like most cartoons" seems to support the idea that the characters are aware that they are cartoons thus creating one of many [[fourth wall breaks]].

===Goofs===
*Homestar's Main Page joke refers to [[Main Page 3]] ''(see Inside References)'', but on the real Main Page 3, the plane actually flies past on "Store." A monkey hits Homestar in the head with a coconut when "E-mail" is activated.
*The San Francisco 49ers' helmet facemask is incorrect. They wore a gray facemask in the 1984-'85 season.
*The 49ers also had a large red and white stripe, much more visible than the one shown.

===Inside References===
*Homestar references Main Page 3 when he yells out "Toons," "Games," and "E-mail" and various things appear. ''(see Goofs for more)''
*Strong Bad describes the island as the "[[Best/Worst X Ever|worst deserted island ever]]".
*In the Easter egg, Homestar turns into the guitar from the Easter egg in [[new hands]].
*Strong Bad turns into the "pinner" marshmallows from [[Meet Marshie]] in the Easter egg.
*Strong Bad creates one of the [[names ending in -face]] in this email.

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:San Francisco 49ers|49ers]] beat the [[Wikipedia:Miami Dolphins|Dolphins]] 38–16 in [[Wikipedia:Super Bowl XIX|Super Bowl XIX]].
*The first cinematic instance of [[TVTropes:Main/MeatOVision|hunger-induced delirium altering the appearance of a character from their actual resemblance to an edible object]] actually took place in Charlie Chaplin's 1925 movie [[Wikipedia:The Gold Rush|''The Gold Rush'']], which was filmed, not animated. It later took place in the 1943 [[Looney Tunes]] cartoon [[imdb:tt0036508|''Wackiki Wabbit'']].

===Fast Forward===
*Five emails later, in [[japanese cartoon]], Strong Bad creates a Japanese cartoon character named [[Stinkoman]].
*Strong Bad salting his foot is used again in [[interview]].
*The island is revisited in [[disconnected]], [[Weclome Back]], and [[the paper]].

== DVD Version ==
*To make Homestar and Strong Bad transform into various things, select the hidden Strong Bad head to the left of Strong Bad.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Welcome back, I'm Matt Chapman.

'''MIKE:''' I am my brother Mike.

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh? Isn't, uh... ''{pause}'' Sorry.

'''MATT:''' Yeah? Go ahead.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I don't remember what I was going to say. I like this email, though. I like the, um, visuals.

'''MATT:''' This is a lot, this is pretty much referencing, I mean it's done a lot in cartoons, but there's that one Bugs Bunny where he's on the desert island with those two—the ski— tall skinny guy—

'''MIKE:''' Rightio.

'''MATT:''' —the fat short guy.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' That's where a lot of this comes from. I think they see each other as like, a steak and a hot dog. And I think that Bugs tricks one of them into eating his own foot at some point probably.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' This is the origin of the term Stinkoman, too.

'''MATT:''' It's true. We were just screwin' around and I said "Stin"— the word Stinkoman.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think so. ''{pause}'' But I like that scene right there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike keeps talking about wanting to revisit this little desert island scene.

'''MIKE:''' It might be revisited by the time you're all listening to this commentary.

'''MATT:''' Not if I have anything to say about it.

'''MIKE:''' Matt hates me.

'''MATT:''' I'm just kidding.

''{in the email, Homestar calls Strong Bad Stinkoman}''

'''MIKE:''' Look, there it was!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see?

'''MIKE:''' He did, yeah. ''{chuckles}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' You haven't got a baboon in your pocket, have you? There you go, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{still chuckling}'' Yeah, thanks. Uh—

'''MATT:''' I like this. ''{pause}'' Those actually are incorrect, aren't they? That's not exactly what he does on that menu page, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, maybe, ''{distantly}'' maybe not. ''{normal}'' Look at those clouds. They're a little different than usual.

'''MATT:''' They are. Oh that—that's nice, I remember Scott Edwards was over for that one. I think it snowed.

'''MIKE:''' Dave Brown, yeah, I think—

'''MATT:''' And then it snowed and we didn't have to go to school the next day.

'''MIKE:''' I think you're right.

'''MATT:''' No, it was great.

''(The following lines are not on all copies of the DVD.)''

'''MATT:''' Why don't you be the narrator for Batman?

'''MIKE:''' Okay Matt. "Will they get out of the island? Find out tomorrow, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel!"

=== Fun Facts ===
*The Bugs Bunny cartoon in particular that Matt and Mike refer to is ''[[wikipedia:Wackiki Wabbit|Wackiki Wabbit]]''.
*The phrase "You haven't got a baboon in your pocket, have you?" was originally uttered by Groucho Marx in ''A Night at the Opera''.
*Mike imitates the narrator from the live-action [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|'60s television series]] of [[Batman]].

'''Page Title:''' Dress em' up Dan!

==Transcript==
''{As usual, the toon starts in the basement of the Brothers Strong; the light dims and the projector screen comes down. The first image displayed is a bald man wearing make up to resembles Strong Bad's mask. Two keyboards can be seen behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in the tune of [[The System is down (song)|The System is Down]]. Every time he says "bald", the image is mirrored.}'' The system is bald! The system is bald! The system is bald! Bald, bald, bald, bald! ''{The image is covered with some rave effects and the image randomly reversed or flipped upside down.}'' DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE!

{The next image shows a guy in a The Cheat hoodie kneeling down. A glow stick appears and spins in front of him.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes singing and mimics a techno beat mimics.}'' Doom doom doom doom. The system is bald! ''{The picture of the guy in the Strong Bad makeup appears again. The image then spins around.}'' Dah dah doh-la dah dah!

''{The next image shows up with the same man as before, holding a glass next to a man dressed as Ned Flanders. A little piano ditty plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing to a different tune.}'' Now go have a Cold One with Ned Flanders!

''{The next frame shows a giant Homestar costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Impressive Homestar costume! I see you made him with his rectangle mouth, which I like to call 'Cartridge Mouth Homestar'! I'm always just tempted to shove a VHS tape ''{as Strong Bad lists the examples, the item gets inserted and pressed down into Homestar's mouth}'' or a dusty old musty Game Pak right in there!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I found that SHMUPs taste best! You know, like Xeliogravius... IV? ''{the box for Videlectrix game Xeliogravius IV drops down, showing a ship fighting a green alien. On it is a caption that says "Not a total rip-off!"}'' That's a good game.

''{The next slide shows a man dressed up as Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, there's actually some pretty good ''{the next slide shows another person dressed as the aforementioned character}'' looking Coach Z costumes this year! You guys have really— ''{the next slide appears}'' Oh, the pain! ''{the next slide appears}'' Oh, the mercy! All right, you guys! I'm calling it! I don't want to see anybody wearing these skin tight green jobs next year!

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, you asked for it! ''{Coach Z hums to himself as some rustling can be heard, accompanied by squishing noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! I was talking about the fans! And what did I tell you about humming those saucy "getting undressed" songs?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' INA-PRO-PRO!

''{The "INA-PRO-PRO" stamp is slammed onto the screen, accompanied with a buzzer noise. The next image shows a man dressed up as Senor Cardgage holding a bag. The "INA-PRO-PRO" stamp is slammed onto the image again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh my dear yes! ''{The "INA-PRO-PRO" stamp fades away.}'' Gonna have to get analogous on this one.

''{An analysis sheet is pulled up. The top is written "ANALOGY WORKSHEET - Unit 1 - Cardgage" with the bottom written "this guy: cardgage:: cardgage: strong bad". A sketch of the person wearing the costume appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This guy's costume is to ''{a sketch of Senor Cardgage appears}'' Cardgage, as Cardgage ''{the aforementioned sketch appears, but mirrored}'' is to ''{a sketch of Strong Bad appears}'' Strong Bad. ''{The sheet moves out of view.}'' He's like a Cardgage among Cardgages. He's like Cardgage squared! Aww, and look! ''{zooms in on the bag of a take out bag of Chick-fil-A lying on the ground}'' Somebody finally took him to ''{imitates Cardgage}'' Chick-fil-A.

''{The next image shows a guy dressed as D n'D Greg and a woman dressed as What's Her Face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's a dead-on D n'D Greg and What's Her Face, and your wall even dressed up as D n'D Greg's front hallway!

''{Speech bubbles for D n'D Greg and What's Her Face appear}''

'''D N'D GREG:''' The KROKUS banner on my front porch drew her near... and this Slayer poster in my hallway won her heart.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Uhh... I like pavement.

{The next image shows another giant Homestar costume standing in front of a closed door.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' B-WHOA-HO-HO! If I came out the bathroom and saw that thing standing in the hallway, I'd call in the SWAT flamethrower strike team. ''{Mimics a caller.}'' Uh, yes, officer, there's a seven-foot-tall Homestar Runner with saggy ankles standing in my s-st-stounch! ''{laughs over his next few lines}'' That's what we call the area between the bathroom and the laundry room. The stounch. Come and get him. In my stounch.

''{The next slide scrolls down with "Pree-ow" playing. A guy has The Paper taped on his face and is standing behind a computer monitor with a Tandy 400 background reading "a> Pretend this computer is 30 years old." The next slide shows a guy dressed as David Byrne and a woman dressed as The Log Lady. They are sitting on a table with candles and a picture of a plant on it, while the guy holds his hands up and his eyes closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So wait, you didn't actually dress up as Strong Sad or Marzipan, you dressed up as the ''{a still showing Strong Sad and Marzipan from [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] appear on the bottom right}'' people they dressed up as one time, and then painstakingly ''{the images move up to the slide, scales to match the propositions and becomes translucent}'' recreated the scene in which they appeared. Well, that sounds exactly like the kinda nerdy thing those two losers would be into anyways. ''{The comparison fades away.}'' So good job.

''{The next slide shows a person dressed up as motion-capture Strong Bad from [[Sample of Style Too]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing like dressing up as an obscure Internet cartoon's even more obscure DVD bonus feature. ''{An image of motion-capture Strong Bad appears on the left side.}'' Mo-Cap Strong Bad, more like "Mowed-Down Strong Bad"! ''{Bubs's baloney truck runs into the picture of Mo-Cap Strong Bad and knocks it out of view.}'' 'Cause it's a very— there's a lot of black in the costume. Might be hard to see.

''{The next slide shows a guy wearing a giant light brown pillow over his head, making it resemble a bean. He's sitting on a chair with a travel case next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Finally, Large Bean's getting the respect he deserves!

''{The next frame shows the same character with a cardboard bean on the person's face. The background is dark and blurred.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! No fair blurring out the rest of your living room! How am I supposed to make fun of your family's terrible taste in decor?

''{The next frame shows a boy in a Homsar costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AaAaAaAaA! I'm a tall kitty in a pumpkin bag! ''{zooms in the kitty dressed decor in the background.}'' Or, ''{zooms back out}'' don't froth up, ''{zooms in on the unplugged appliance in the background}'' I unplugged the papasan! Man! Middle America's houses ''{zooms back out}'' are rife with Homsar quotes!

''{The next frame shows a guy dressed as Old-Timey Strong Bad sitting on the steps next to a sign. The image is in a sepia tone.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, feast your depression-era eyes on Strong Bad's Flavor Taste ''{zooms in on the sign}'' Tricks and Treats! {A logo of a spoon holding a white powder slide in from the top right} A spoonful of bakinged soda one could mistake for sugar and some molasses {a bottle of molasses slides in the bottom left with a dead goat on it. On it has the words "premulum" on it} bequeathed to me by a goat, upon its untimely demise! ''{zooms back out}'' Strong Bad is your number one candym'n!

''{The next frame shows someone wearing a Coach Z costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys.

''{The next frame shows someone wearing a Senor Cardgage costume with some animals strapped on his knees, with a similar background and image quality.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys!

''{The next frame shows both images, with Senor Cardgage on the left and Coach Z on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys!! These are good costumes. These are ''great'' costumes! But why, in the year of our King of Town 2017, when everyone has a 12-jillion gregapixel camera in their pocket, ''{close-up of the Senor Cardgage costume's mask}'' do you send me pictures that look like they were taken on your... ''{a pink flip-phone with "Sweet Digits" written on it slides to the center of the screen}'' grandma's candy flip-phone that you don't have the heart to tell her ''{the phone opens, revealing a cartoony winking face on the screen, and a hole filled with colored balls below the buttons, with some spilling out of the phone.}'' it's not a real phone?! ''{grandma voice}'' But I had ''such'' good conversations with Little Protelzo! ''{normal voice}'' That's her— that's her grandson. Little Protelzo.

''{The next frame shows one person dressed as il Cartographer, with a flag and map to the restroom, and a person dressed as Gardenboy beside him, with a rake and watering can, and a Kick The Cheat toy designed to look like Mr. Cheatayama, all against a wall with some sheets taped to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, this costume thing is not a contest. But you guys... win the costume contest! ''{an instrumental version of the il Cartographer theme plays as an image of il Cartographer, Gardenboy, and Mr. Cheatayama in the wrestling ring appears in the corner, with the character in the same positions as the costumes}'' It's all here! Il Cartographer's ''{close-up of the il Cartographer costume's mask}'' floppy hat! ''{close-up of the flag}'' And flag! ''{close-up of his map to the restroom}'' And maps to the restroom! The insidious ''{close-up of Mr. Cheatayama}'' Mr. Cheatayama with his trademark whisk! ''{cut to the entire picture; the image in the corner disappears}'' And you even took the picture in front of a depressing basement wall with some sheets taped to it! That was an actual venue we used to wrestle in! ''{the music stops}'' That's where il Cartographer finally won... ''{A wrestling belt, with a gold waffle design in the middle, zooms in from the center of the screen. There is a carton, melting butter, and a muffin on the waffle design, with the words "Continental Breakfast Champion" written at the top and bottom. The AWMPSCE logo is on both of the sides. The music continues.}'' the Continental Breakfast title belt!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He won the title match!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He took-a no crap!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's gonna draw another map!

''{A brown map flies in from the left side of the screen to the middle. There is a compass pointing north in the bottom-left corner. There is a road that goes past Carrot and Kazoo Hill (labeled "CK Hill") and The Stick (unlabeled) to an X near Bubs' Concession Stand, with an arrow pointing to it, with red text reading "here be savings". There is a Yello Dello (labeled "yello-dello") just past the stand. In the bottom right-corner, there is a Bubs head wearing a hat.}''

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' He's the il Cartographer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I claim-a this belt in the name of Bubsmfort Inn & Suites! Home of the free continental breakfast! ''{quickly, quietly}'' Located just past Carrot-Kazoo Hill, one mile south of the Yello Dello.

'''BUBS:''' ''{a speech bubble appears from the Bubs head on the map, as Bubs reads it:}'' Make yourself Bubsmfortable!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sings}'' Oh email, I'm gonna let you down easy... when I break up with you.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey Strong Bad, 
Get Bubs to give out free luncch 
specials and I'll show you a hot girl. 
 
Sincerly, 
Someone</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Hmm. Sounds like a solid deal!" after "hot girl." He pronounces "luncch" as "lunkch" and pronounces "sincerly" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I hate it when they don't put a name. And when they misspell "sincerely." "Luncch" ''{pronounced as before}'' doesn't bother me so much.

''{Strong Bad backspaces and erases the last two lines, then types out two new ones and reads them.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Keep on tranglin, 
Larry Pat</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Larry, legend has it that Bubs has to give you a free lunch special if you can get him to say his name backwards - minus the first b. "Sbu." You have to get him to say, "Sbu." How hard could that be, right? I mean, I'm saying "sbu" all the time. This'll be a cakewalk. At least a sbu-walk.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. A sign that reads "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice—Smoothies Too!" is hanging over the "Bubs' Concession Stand" marquee. Bubs is inside holding a chicken in one arm and wiping it with a cloth. Strong Bad enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{sings}'' Shinin' up a chicken in the mo'nin', mo'nin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs... Read this sign for me. ''{holds up a sign}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{He squints at the sign, then reads slowly.}'' "Duck A L'Orange."

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{He spins the sign around and reads it. Indeed, it says, "Duck A L'Orange." He produces a walkie-talkie.}'' The Cheat, I thought I told you to make it say "sbu"!

''{The screen splits diagonally down the center. On the right is Strong Bad. On the left is The Cheat, who also has a walkie talkie and is sitting next to Strong Bad's computer, which has a recipe for duck a l'orange on the screen. A piece of paper pinned to the back wall says "Home Base" and has a Strong Badified skull and crossbones drawn on it.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{assorted The Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you really want some duck a l'orange, huh? You know we can't afford to eat like that! ''{He looks to the side, then puts his hand near his mouth to hide his voice.}'' Aren't you a duck anyways?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. You kinda remind me of a duck...

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. Strong Bad enters holding a mirror.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubsy! Say your name into this mirror. ''{He holds up the mirror.}''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hold on. ''{He puts the mirror closer to Bubs's face.}'' Okay, say it again. Say it ''real'' clear this time.

'''BUBS:''' ''{slower}'' Buh-ubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this thing is worthless!

''{Strong Bad smashes the mirror on the ground and walks away.}''

''{Fade to black again. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. This time, Coach Z is there ordering something.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down, a couple of egg rolls... ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and speaks forcefully.}'' ...and a cod plank platter!

'''BUBS:''' You got it!

''{Strong Bad walks up and throws a hose into the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting off to the side}'' All right, The Cheat! Crank it! ''{water starts pouring through the hose}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Can I help you?

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he's flooding you out. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out! 
''{They stop and stare at each other.}''

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm floo— 
''{They stop and stare at each other again, and Strong Bad puts his hand in front of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out until you say your name backwards minus the first B!

'''BUBS:''' Why are you trying to get me to say "sbu"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' THERE! You said it! Now you gotta give me a free lunch special!

'''BUBS:''' ''{shakes his head}'' No, no, no. Getting me to say my name backwards minus the B just makes me lose my super power!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What super power?

'''BUBS:''' Being able to fly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can fly?!

'''BUBS:''' Well... ''{He hangs his head down.}'' Not anymore I can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right.

'''BUBS:''' Eh, I never really used it all that much. Since I gained all this weight, I could really only hover a couple two or three inches above the ground anyways.

''{Coach Z slams his hands to the countertop and looks around and speaks frantically.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter?!?

''{Back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm pretty sure Bubs is a big liar, but I did get him to say his name backwards minus the first B. So now you gotta show me a hot girl, Larry Pat. Or, buy me lunch. Or... whatever the deal was. I'll just go ahead and sit here and wait for the hot girl to appear on my screen, I guess. ''{stops typing, speaks quietly}'' Not like I got a whole lot else going on...mmm.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Seven seconds later, the computer beeps and a new email scrolls up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, an email!

''{Strong Bad reads the email, talking slowly and pronouncing each word just as it is written.}''

<blockquote class="email">Deur Strond bad, 
I hava a emau] n ow. Cheet helps. 
 
Stlong Mad 
 
''attachment''</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, looks like ol' Strong Mad has finally hit the Information Superhighway like a flaming sack o' crap. Oh, and there's an attachment! Maybe he sent me a picture of a hot girl. [[Image:dinosaurbreakfast.PNG|thumb|A fairly hot Brontosaurus.]]

''{Strong Bad double-clicks on the word "attachment" underneath the email. A very poorly drawn picture of a dinosaur standing by a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of orange juice, all in front of a volcano, pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' An MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus having breakfast. ''{ends monotone}'' Well... It's a fairly hot Brontosaurus anyhow! ''{talking softly}'' Well hey, what's happenin' Brontosaurus baby... What are you doing—Okay I gotta get out of the house!

''{Strong Bad gets up and runs away.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Cheatsmile1.PNG|thumb|"...do dooo dooo dooooo..."]]
*Click on the words "Larry, legend" to see a screenshot of the game [[Wikipedia:Jordan vs Bird: One on One|''Jordan vs. Bird: One-on-One'']] for the [[Nintendo|NES]].
*After the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word "Bubs" to see The Cheat lounging in the flooded concession stand as [[The Brothers Chaps]] sing to the tune of "[[Wikipedia:Aloha 'Oe|Aloha 'Oe]]".
*Also after the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''liar'' to see Bubs hovering above the ground:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh man, that is so fake. Seriously. You can totally see the strings!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:Information superhighway|Information Superhighway]] was a term used to refer to the Internet up until the early 1990s.

===Trivia===
*When The Cheat is next to the Compy 386, it reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Kickin' Recipes For 
Duck A L'Orange 
 
- 1 orange duck 
- 2 oranges 
- 3 frenchies 
- 4 ovens 
- 5 heats 
- 6 coupons 
 
Go to Captain D's 
Order the Snow C 
Tell your friends 
really Duck A L' 
It'll work!</blockquote>
*The Cheat's [[The Cheat Evolution|sixth design]] is used in the Concession Stand Easter Egg. He is also in this design whenever he is in his Crisper Drawer.

===Remarks===
*This is another case of the Compy 386 acquiring a mouse cursor, despite the fact that it does not have a mouse and no cursor is normally seen.
*Strong Mad's email contains a use of The Cheat's name without the [[integral article]].

===Goofs===
*The MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus eating breakfast is not affected by the contrast buttons. However, the screen behind it is.
*When Strong Bad angrily throws the mirror at the ground, Bubs's reflection can still be seen in the mirror, but with no body.
*The hose's shadow in the "floating" Easter egg does not expand when the hose expands.
*When Bubs is holding the notepad (taking Coach Z's order), the paper folded to the back is from behind the rest of pages instead of in front of them.
*When Strong Bad is holding the mirror, it shows the sky behind Bubs in the reflection, yet the background really should be bricks.
*When Coach Z yells about his cod plank platter, part of the outline of his arm overlaps the brim of his hat for a frame.

===Inside References===
*The author of the email seems to be referring to the lunch specials at the end of [[no loafing]].
*The [[Cold One]] that The Cheat is lounging with in the Easter egg is a Coldson Lite, first seen in [[labor day]].
*This email marks the second time The Cheat has been mistaken for a bird of some kind, the other being in [[helium]], in which Homestar identified the floating, helium-filled The Cheat as "an ugly bird."
*In [[big white face]], the runcode for the pixelated Bubs image Strong Bad brings up is "Bu-Hubs", which is how Bubs "clearly pronounces" his name in this email.
*This is another appearance of [[flying]].
*Coach Z orders his double hot wings [[pants]] down.
*The "fairly hot brontosaurus'" breakfast consists of [[bacon]] and [[eggs]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Larry, legend" Easter egg refers to [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]], a former player for the [[Wikipedia:Boston Celtics|Boston Celtics]]. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest [[Wikipedia:NBA|NBA]] players ever and is often referred to as "Larry Legend" by his fans.
*Getting Bubs to say his name backwards (minus the first 'B') sounds like a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Mr. Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]], a mischief-making villain from the Superman comics. In order to get the reality-warping imp to go back to his home dimension, Superman had to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards.
*The [[Wikipedia:walkie-talkie|walkie-talkies]] used by Strong Bad and The Cheat are World War II portable radios.
*[[Wikipedia:Captain D's|Captain D's]] is a chain of fast-food stores that sells seafood.
*[[MS Paint]] is a small utility that ships with [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].

===Fast Forward===
*The word "sbu" shows up in Strong Bad's list of 3-letter words in [[boring (really)#Fun Facts|boring (really)]].
*In [[the facts]], Strong Mad shows his love for [[dinosaurs]] again through [[Doug the Dino]].
*In [[Strongest Man in the World]], the picture Strong Bad gives Homestar is signed at first as "Strond Ba...", almost the same as Strong Mad's email.
*In [[Summer Short Shorts]], a [[Powered By The Cheat]] scene is shown resembling the prehistoric background in Strong Mad's MS paint drawing.
*Strong Bad would later fly with the aid of strings in [[dreamail]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version has all the Easter Eggs close to the end to the very end of the SBEmail.
*For unknown reasons, The Cheat Easter Egg is cut off.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''MATT:''' All right, guys.

'''RYAN:''' I think we're ready.

'''MATT:''' um, what do you guys think of this proposition—

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made this email, guys. Matt and I made this cartoon. What do you think?

'''RYAN:''' I think you guys are...you got something.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' I'm not afraid to say that you guys are very good.

''{Mike laughs again}''

'''RYAN:''' Keep on "keepin' on". Keep on.

'''MIKE:''' Keepin' on? Keep on.

'''RYAN:''' That was a ''Family Ties'' slogan.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' They had like—

'''MIKE:''' Really? Nice.

'''RYAN:''' ''Nick At Nite'' showed a bunch in a row.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''RYAN:''' And all the commercials are "keep on keepin' on"

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' That's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna be impressed if they had done that back in [[1987]] or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh it was on retro stuff or retrothon like that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh so super Chinese—

'''MIKE:''' super Chinese fish buffalo rice is pretty much...There was a place by the Braves Stadium that we were driving by one time. And there are several restaurants around Atlanta that are—

'''MATT:''' It's a trend, I think, in all metro areas.

'''MIKE:''' —like buffalo wings. Chinese food and—

'''MATT:''' there's one that was called "Philly", "Philly...", "Philly...wing", "Philly wing rice". "Philly wing fish" I think, and underneath it said it says "Chinese food".

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' So, yeah, we were missing "Philly cheese steaks" because that seems to be...that seems to be a part. It's just wings, Chinese food, Philly cheese steaks, fish, fried fish, rice.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up—

'''RYAN:''' Fried chicken.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up.

'''MATT:''' I'm in.

'''RYAN:''' Cod plank platter—

'''MATT:''' Let's go for lunch today, guys. We haven't had lunch today yet. Let's go get a cod plank platter

''{Everyone laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Red Lobster Friday!

'''RYAN:''' Uh—

'''MATT:''' Uh, so were you gonna comment on how great that uh, hose thing towards the camera was, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''RYAN:''' I like it.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna wonder about how long you spent—

'''MATT:''' Probably two to three hours while you finished the rest of the email—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, this is the point of contention that whenever Matt leaves the room, Mike always complains about how, how detailed the animations are.

'''MIKE:''' It's good—

'''MATT:''' We're trying to finish. It's three in the morning. Isn't that good?

'''MIKE:''' It is good.

'''RYAN:''' Quality artwork.

'''MIKE:''' It's good ''now''.

'''RYAN:''' yeah. It's not good—

'''MIKE:''' At four in the morning on Sunday. I'd rather you make a really crappy—looking hose. ''{laughs}''. Oh, by the way, this one— it's not gonna be on the commentary, but the Easter egg on this one where it shows The Cheat floating inside—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' right, Bubs' Concession Stand on the inner tube. That is, by far, my favorite Easter egg or just scene that still just looks like— nice ripples.

'''MATT:''' It's your fine—

'''MIKE:''' It's so relaxing.

'''MATT:''' It's your finest moment. It's almost as relaxing as, yeah, as—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Taking a break.

'''MIKE:''' Awww, that makes me depressed for Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' and me.

''{pause}''

'''RYAN:''' And me?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We still going here? ''{cough}''

'''RYAN:''' This might be a delayed—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' oh, look at that!

'''MATT:''' This is that one where we've got this whole part where it's Stlong Mad—

'''MIKE:''' The Uh...

'''RYAN:''' Great MS Paint drawing.

'''MIKE:''' —Dinosaur. I wanted to keep doing this, like have, you know, weekly or semi—weekly feature of Strong Mad's bad MS Paint drawings.

'''RYAN:''' You got a lot of images we could put on there. Isn't that on the DVD, where there was extra emails? This is from that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, here it is. Here's 102B. ''{laugh}'' Look at that thing! That thing's amazing.

'''RYAN:''' People have their own versions of that drawing.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' People still use MS Paint.

'''RYAN:''' A lot.

'''MATT:''' and see this is even more depressing. Strong Bad starts hitting on that MS Paint Brontosaurus

'''MIKE:''' Good lookin'

'''MATT:''' A low point for Strong Bad—

'''RYAN:''' —Is that OJ?

'''MATT:''' So he runs off.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

===Fun Facts===
*The [[Atlanta Braves|Braves]] are a [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]] team based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Two More Eggs

2017-09-09T06:02:53Z

Octan: Fixed the spelling of Lusjelton's name, as seen in part 5

[[File:DooblieDoo.png|thumb|250px|"Two More Eggs, Two More Eggs!"]]
'''''[[Wikipedia:Two More Eggs|Two More Eggs]]''''' is a series of shorts produced by [[The Brothers Chaps]] for [[Disney]] [[Wikipedia:Disney XD|XD]]'s [[YouTube]] channel under the production company Citywide Hoop Champs Inc. in association with [[Wikipedia:Disney Television Animation|Disney Television Animation]].

The series debuted on June 23, 2015 with the release of the first three episodes, a trailer, an official press release, and coverage on multiple media outlets. It was announced that each new episode would be released on Tuesday of every week. Mostly being over a minute long, each episode centers on an individual character (e.g. "Dooble" or "Hot Dip") or a group of characters (e.g. "CGI Palz" or "Hector & Kovitch" or "Trauncles") and has no overarching plot or complexity. The [[sound effects]], voices, and animation style are similar to those of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. [[Matt Chapman]] claims that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] worked with Disney with the same autonomy as with ''Homestar Runner''.

On March 4, 2016, it was announced that Two More Eggs was renewed for a second season, which premiered June 13, 2016. On August 21, 2017, Two More Eggs' third season premiered on YouTube.

==Footnotes==
#This short was released prematurely as a 'first look' on September 20 (the upload date listed was sometime in August), then unlisted and re-released two days later.
#This variant of the short includes the character "Terrifying Diaper" interrupting Hector and Kovitch during their conversation. (The US version instead features Kovitch attempting to spell with his eyes closed.)
#This short was released one day late; most likely due to the announcement of the 24-hour marathon of Two More Eggs on Disney XD.
#This short was released one day early.
#This short was "released" for the Huffington Post on December 22, 2015 as [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/what-would-walt-have-thou_b_8862654.html a first look.]
#This promo was uploaded alongside the launch of the series on Disney XD's public relations account. All videos on that account, including this one, are currently unlisted.
#These shorts were uploaded to DisneyVideo on July 14 and July 16, 2016 respectively and uploaded to WatchDisneyXD sometime in August. As of November 5, they have not yet been uploaded to YouTube. Meanwhile, they were unlisted from the WatchDisneyXD Two More Eggs page in early November 2016 but reappeared by December.
#This promo is almost identical to the "12/22 Takeover" promo from the previous year, except for a few editing changes and the updated date. Interestingly, there are no clips from Season Two.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On December 22, 2015 at 12:00am ET/PT, Disney XD aired a 27-hour marathon of all of ''Two More Eggs'' season one on repeat, with eleven of them debuting during the marathon.
**On December 21, 2016 at 6:00am ET/PT, a similar 24-hour marathon was aired. The same five cartons from season one aired on repeat, interspersed with 20 shorts from season two, each of which were only shown once. No new shorts premiered, although "Hot Diggity: Science Proof" and "Trauncles: Trauncles 2000" did air, neither of which had been uploaded to YouTube yet (nor have they been since).
*In [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] say that "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" wasn't actually the first Dooble cartoon they made. His name wasn't Dooble, and when he sang the song in "Dooble: The Driver", they made the song into its own cartoon.
**This implies that the shorts were released out of order.
**[[Matt Chapman]] mentions The Joshow Show in the same interview, before the short was released, saying it was about "a down-on-his-luck dad trying to do [[YouTube]] videos". He says it's their "first foray into [[live action]]".
*It is likely that Disney XD is writing the video descriptions, as there have been a few mistakes.
**"Hector & Kovitch: Best Movie" was originally uploaded with the title "Terrifying Diaper: Best Movie" before being swiftly renamed to its current title.
**Dooble's quote in "Dooble: Cake Show", "Can you still see me?", is misquoted as "Can you see [me] now?".
**Cheeby is misspelled as Chibi in the description for "Gankroar: Backyard".

[[File:DooblieDoo.png|thumb|250px|"Two More Eggs, Two More Eggs!"]]
'''''[[Wikipedia:Two More Eggs|Two More Eggs]]''''' is a series of shorts produced by [[The Brothers Chaps]] for [[Disney]] [[Wikipedia:Disney XD|XD]]'s [[YouTube]] channel under the production company Citywide Hoop Champs Inc. in association with [[Wikipedia:Disney Television Animation|Disney Television Animation]].

The series debuted on June 23, 2015 with the release of the first three episodes, a trailer, an official press release, and coverage on multiple media outlets. It was announced that each new episode would be released on Tuesday of every week. Mostly being over a minute long, each episode centers on an individual character (e.g. "Dooble" or "Hot Dip") or a group of characters (e.g. "CGI Palz" or "Hector & Kovitch" or "Trauncles") and has no overarching plot or complexity. The [[sound effects]], voices, and animation style are similar to those of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. [[Matt Chapman]] claims that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] worked with Disney with the same autonomy as with ''Homestar Runner''.

On March 4, 2016, it was announced that Two More Eggs was renewed for a second season, which premiered June 13, 2016. On August 21, 2017, Two More Eggs' third season premiered on YouTube.

==Footnotes==
#This short was released prematurely as a 'first look' on September 20 (the upload date listed was sometime in August), then unlisted and re-released two days later.
#This variant of the short includes the character "Terrifying Diaper" interrupting Hector and Kovitch during their conversation. (The US version instead features Kovitch attempting to spell with his eyes closed.)
#This short was released one day late; most likely due to the announcement of the 24-hour marathon of Two More Eggs on Disney XD.
#This short was released one day early.
#This short was "released" for the Huffington Post on December 22, 2015 as [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/what-would-walt-have-thou_b_8862654.html a first look.]
#This promo was uploaded alongside the launch of the series on Disney XD's public relations account. All videos on that account, including this one, are currently unlisted.
#These shorts were uploaded to DisneyVideo on July 14 and July 16, 2016 respectively and uploaded to WatchDisneyXD sometime in August. As of November 5, they have not yet been uploaded to YouTube. Meanwhile, they were unlisted from the WatchDisneyXD Two More Eggs page in early November 2016 but reappeared by December.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On December 22, 2015 at 12:00am ET/PT, Disney XD aired a 27-hour marathon of all of ''Two More Eggs'' season one on repeat, with eleven of them debuting during the marathon.
**On December 21, 2016 at 6:00am ET/PT, a similar 24-hour marathon was aired. The same five cartons from season one aired on repeat, interspersed with 20 shorts from season two, each of which were only shown once. No new shorts premiered, although "Hot Diggity: Science Proof" and "Trauncles: Trauncles 2000" did air, neither of which had been uploaded to YouTube yet (nor have they been since).
*In [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] say that "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" wasn't actually the first Dooble cartoon they made. His name wasn't Dooble, and when he sang the song in "Dooble: The Driver", they made the song into its own cartoon.
**This implies that the shorts were released out of order.
**[[Matt Chapman]] mentions The Joshow Show in the same interview, before the short was released, saying it was about "a down-on-his-luck dad trying to do [[YouTube]] videos". He says it's their "first foray into [[live action]]".
*It is likely that Disney XD is writing the video descriptions, as there have been a few mistakes.
**"Hector & Kovitch: Best Movie" was originally uploaded with the title "Terrifying Diaper: Best Movie" before being swiftly renamed to its current title.
**Dooble's quote in "Dooble: Cake Show", "Can you still see me?", is misquoted as "Can you see [me] now?".
**Cheeby is misspelled as Chibi in the description for "Gankroar: Backyard".
**The band "Beard-antler" from "Dooble: She Whispered", is misspelled as "Beard-Antler".
**"New4Mobile: Commercial"'s description spells "MegaBlast" as "mega blast".
**Francis Sweetmouth is said to be a hamster in the video description, but he is actually a gopher, revealed in "Dooble: Cake Show".
**There are some inconsistencies in the capitalization of QblePon/Qblepon, and Cutesycorns/CutesyCorns.
**Kovitch is referred to as female in the descriptions of "Hector & Kovitch: Basement" and "Hector & Kovitch: Dinner", despite appearing to be male.
*"Grown Ups Made Up By Kids" is the first episode title to not be in the format "Series Name: Episode Name".

====Dubbed Versions====
French: ''Quoi 2 n'œufs ?''
*Despite having the exact same dialogue, "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" is given a French dub.
*The phrase "Not 4 Momz" is essentially translated to "Not for Adults".
*"Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game" is based on the US version.
*In "Dooble: Newscarsting", Meredith is silent.
*In the English version of "Hot Dip: Sitcom", Brianca's dialogue at the end is subtitled. However, the French dub blurs the text out rather than adding the translated subtitles used for other visual gags.

Greek: ''Δύο Αυγά Μάτια''
*The titles of the episodes remain in English. Interestingly, "Dooble: Newscarsting" has been correctly spelled as "Newscasting", and "Trauncles: Not Done" is lowercased to "Not done".
*The Greek dub of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1XpZW2mPU "Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game"] uses the video from the US version, but the audio is translated from the UK version.

Versions in Latin-American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese exist and are available on their respective Disney XD websites, but they are blocked outside of those countries.

===General References===

*Joshow's voice is very similar to [[Coach Z]]'s and [[Videlectrix Guys|Videlectrix 1]]'s.
*Cheeby's voice is nearly identical to [[Humidibot]]'s, who debuted in [[Fan Costumes 2015]].

*The cover for Dooble 2 looks like the cover for [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], down to the pose.

Two More Eggs

2017-09-09T06:01:38Z

Octan: There is a working link to Science Proof but it's not on YouTube. Trauncles 2000 requires a cable subscription.

[[File:DooblieDoo.png|thumb|250px|"Two More Eggs, Two More Eggs!"]]
'''''[[Wikipedia:Two More Eggs|Two More Eggs]]''''' is a series of shorts produced by [[The Brothers Chaps]] for [[Disney]] [[Wikipedia:Disney XD|XD]]'s [[YouTube]] channel under the production company Citywide Hoop Champs Inc. in association with [[Wikipedia:Disney Television Animation|Disney Television Animation]].

The series debuted on June 23, 2015 with the release of the first three episodes, a trailer, an official press release, and coverage on multiple media outlets. It was announced that each new episode would be released on Tuesday of every week. Mostly being over a minute long, each episode centers on an individual character (e.g. "Dooble" or "Hot Dip") or a group of characters (e.g. "CGI Palz" or "Hector & Kovitch" or "Trauncles") and has no overarching plot or complexity. The [[sound effects]], voices, and animation style are similar to those of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. [[Matt Chapman]] claims that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] worked with Disney with the same autonomy as with ''Homestar Runner''.

On March 4, 2016, it was announced that Two More Eggs was renewed for a second season, which premiered June 13, 2016. On August 21, 2017, Two More Eggs' third season premiered on YouTube.

==Cartons==
Cartons are condensed formats of the shorts, played back-to-back for easier broadcasting and for schedule-filling on television and for use in the Disney XD app. On some television listings, each episode may be listed as "Clutch" rather than "Carton", although they are given their own section as "Cartons" on the Disney XD website and app.

==Footnotes==
#This short was released prematurely as a 'first look' on September 20 (the upload date listed was sometime in August), then unlisted and re-released two days later.
#This variant of the short includes the character "Terrifying Diaper" interrupting Hector and Kovitch during their conversation. (The US version instead features Kovitch attempting to spell with his eyes closed.)
#This short was released one day late; most likely due to the announcement of the 24-hour marathon of Two More Eggs on Disney XD.
#This short was released one day early.
#This short was "released" for the Huffington Post on December 22, 2015 as [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/what-would-walt-have-thou_b_8862654.html a first look.]
#This promo was uploaded alongside the launch of the series on Disney XD's public relations account. All videos on that account, including this one, are currently unlisted.
#These shorts were uploaded to DisneyVideo on July 14 and July 16, 2016 respectively and uploaded to WatchDisneyXD sometime in August. As of November 5, they have not yet been uploaded to YouTube. Meanwhile, they were unlisted from the WatchDisneyXD Two More Eggs page in early November 2016 but reappeared by December.
#This promo is almost identical to the "12/22 Takeover" promo from the previous year, except for a few editing changes and the updated date. Interestingly, there are no clips from Season Two.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On December 22, 2015 at 12:00am ET/PT, Disney XD aired a 27-hour marathon of all of ''Two More Eggs'' season one on repeat, with eleven of them debuting during the marathon.
**On December 21, 2016 at 6:00am ET/PT, a similar 24-hour marathon was aired. The same five cartons from season one aired on repeat, interspersed with 20 shorts from season two, each of which were only shown once. No new shorts premiered, although "Hot Diggity: Science Proof" and "Trauncles: Trauncles 2000" did air, neither of which had been uploaded to YouTube yet (nor have they been since).
*In [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] say that "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" wasn't actually the first Dooble cartoon they made. His name wasn't Dooble, and when he sang the song in "Dooble: The Driver", they made the song into its own cartoon.
**This implies that the shorts were released out of order.
**[[Matt Chapman]] mentions The Joshow Show in the same interview, before the short was released, saying it was about "a down-on-his-luck dad trying to do [[YouTube]] videos". He says it's their "first foray into [[live action]]".
*It is likely that Disney XD is writing the video descriptions, as there have been a few mistakes.
**"Hector & Kovitch: Best Movie" was originally uploaded with the title "Terrifying Diaper: Best Movie" before being swiftly renamed to its current title.
**Dooble's quote in "Dooble: Cake Show", "Can you still see me?", is misquoted as "Can you see [me] now?".
**Cheeby is misspelled as Chibi in the description for "Gankroar: Backyard".
**The band "Beard-antler" from "Dooble: She Whispered", is misspelled as "Beard-Antler".
**"New4Mobile: Commercial"'s description spells "MegaBlast" as "mega blast".
**Francis Sweetmouth is said to be a hamster in the video description, but he is actually a gopher, revealed in "Dooble: Cake Show".
**There are some inconsistencies in the capitalization of QblePon/Qblepon, and Cutesycorns/CutesyCorns.
**Kovitch is referred to as female in the descriptions of "Hector & Kovitch: Basement" and "Hector & Kovitch: Dinner", despite appearing to be male.
*"Grown Ups Made Up By Kids" is the first episode title to not be in the format "Series Name: Episode Name".

====Dubbed Versions====
French: ''Quoi 2 n'œufs ?''
*Despite having the exact same dialogue, "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" is given a French dub.
*The phrase "Not 4 Momz" is essentially translated to "Not for Adults".
*"Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game" is based on the US version.
*In "Dooble: Newscarsting", Meredith is silent.
*In the English version of "Hot Dip: Sitcom", Brianca's dialogue at the end is subtitled. However, the French dub blurs the text out rather than adding the translated subtitles used for other visual gags.

Greek: ''Δύο Αυγά Μάτια''
*The titles of the episodes remain in English. Interestingly, "Dooble: Newscarsting" has been correctly spelled as "Newscasting", and "Trauncles: Not Done" is lowercased to "Not done".
*The Greek dub of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1XpZW2mPU "Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game"] uses the video from the US version, but the audio is translated from the UK version.

Versions in Latin-American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese exist and are available on their respective Disney XD websites, but they are blocked outside of those countries.

===General References===
*The name "Two More Eggs" derives from two [[Strong Bad Email]]s.
**One of the ingredients of [[Strong Bad's EGGS]] in [[morning routine]] is "two more eggs".
**There is a [[Sticky Note|note]] in the email [[pop-up]] that reads "2 more eggs".
*"Halosche" is an example of an [[unusual greeting]], similar to "[[alternate universe|hellote]]" and "[[Peasant's Quest|haldo]]".
*Hot Dip sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]] with a deeper voice.
*The CGI animation in "CGI Palz" was likely created using the same software used to create the [[Lappier]] logo and the CGI [[The Paper]] from [[sbemail206]].
*The Lenore Street Bridge's name sometimes has an [[integral article]].
*Arlington's voice is similar to [[Rumble Red]]'s.
*The [[Generic Announcers|announcer]] in the TV show theme songs is the same voice who says "Weekdays at 4:30" in [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] and "Tuesdays at 8:30" in the [[Easter egg]] from [[underlings]].
*One of the Eggpos sounds like [[Chorch]] from [[8-Bit is Enough]], who is also a talking video game enemy. The other Eggpo has a voice and accent vaguely similar to [[The Homestar Runner]].
*Eggpo cartoons often contain instances of [[angled pixels]].
*Hector's voice sounds similar to [[Homestar Runner]]'s.
*The spelling of "Bad Snaxx" might be a reference to (or might have influenced) "[[The Cheat]]'s phat [[The Cheat's Keyboard|Casio]] '''staxx'''" from a [[@StrongBadActual]] Tweet on August 20, 2015.
*Joshow's voice is very similar to [[Coach Z]]'s and [[Videlectrix Guys|Videlectrix 1]]'s.
*Cheeby's voice is nearly identical to [[Humidibot]]'s, who debuted in [[Fan Costumes 2015]].
*The music in the Poach & Scramble shorts is [[The Brothers Chaps singing]] (similar to [[Original Bubs]]'s walking sound.)
*The restaurant table in the Poach & Scramble shorts is the same one used to shoot the hamburger scene in [[Sbemailiarized!]].
*The cover for Dooble 2 looks like the cover for [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], down to the pose.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oooh, it's a e-email, money, money, money. Oooh-ooh. Shut up. ''{brings up email}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: cliffhangers</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Resolve all the cliffhangers please. 
 
Thanks, 
Jake
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Jake" as "Little Jakey Pleasenthanks".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Hmmmmm. The cliffhangers, eh? I never really thought to call them that, but I guess that ''is'' what they are. Yeah, Why not? ''{gets up, accompanied by The Geddup Noise}''

''{Cut to a face of a cliff. Homsar and the King of Town are both hanging from separate ropes, which are attached to the top of the cliff.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' This dinner party is top dollar!

''{As he says this, Homsar's hat floats around him in a perfect circle. Strong Bad is seen walking up to the edge of the cliff. Zoom in on him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, cliffhangers. Prepare to be resolved!

''{Strong Bad takes out a big knife and slices both the ropes, causing the King of Town and Homsar to fall out of the shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and I brought you some snacks.

''{Strong Bad tosses some paper bags labeled "Hom" and "Kot" down the cliff.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{echoing}'' You're a good friend, Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad leaves. Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. Strong Bad sits back down, and the screen has already been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right. I know what you really mean, Jakesy. So, you say you want a resolution, huh?

''{Static away to the words "Cliffhanger #1" on a dark grey screen. Then, cut to the Locker Room. The Thnikkaman is crammed into a locker, bound with ropes. Coach Z is facing him.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And now, Thnikkaman, at long last, the world will discover your secret, sorcret identity!

''{Cut to a closeup of Coach Z's face.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thereby rendering you useless as a Thnikkaman!

''{Cut back to the original view of the locker room.}''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' I'll render you ''toothless''!

'''COACH Z:''' Now, give me them cool shades!

''{Coach Z swipes at the Thnikkaman's "cool shades". Just as he's about to take them off, the frame freezes. Coach Z's arm is blurred. Zoom in, and the dramatic sound effect (dun, dun, duuun) is heard. The screen fades, and "Resolution" appears over the top in yellow text. This goes away, and the scene comes back to Coach Z and The Thnikkaman—Coach Z misses the glasses and falls on his face.}''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, shut up, Coach.

''{The Thnikkaman jumps out of the locker on top of Coach Z, and walks off the left of screen. The usual singers chime in, the words flying across the screen in waves.}''

'''SINGERS:''' You missed unmasking the Thnikkaman!!! ''{slight pause}'' Because you have really bad hand-eye coordination!!!

'''COACH Z:''' Enough already, I get it! My secret sorcret has been revereled.

''{The words "Cliffhanger #2" appear. Cut to Strong Bad in his Space Captainface outfit inside a cardboard spaceship, talking on a cardboard cell phone, with a little paper umbrella as an antenna.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah I ''know'', Lita Ford... but I'm in orbit, baby! Look, I'll call you back when I'm not—

''{Cut to The Cheat, dressed as Strap, who plays an alarm sound effect on the CD player, and turns a lamp with a red bulb on and off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strap! Collision alarm! Bring it up on screen!

''{Strong Mad takes away the piece of cardboard representing the screen, revealing a circular silhouette hanging from a piece of string, and holds up a sign reading "Malmsteen's Comet".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're on a collision course with Malmsteen's Comet! Full power to the forward humbuckers!

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

''{The Cheat points to a screen drawn on the cardboard that reads "The forward humbuckers have never worked!". ("never" is in red.)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Humbuckers are offline? Then strap in, Strap, and prepare for ramming speed! If this is the end, then we can at least make it awesome for the people in...

''{Strong Bad looks out a side window labeled "the view" at a desktop globe of the Earth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Greenland.

''{The Cheat plays a rockets firing sound on the CD player, and the ship starts shaking.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooohhhh... Shooooooo....

''{Everything freezes, and the same dramatic sound effect plays.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Will Cap and Strap make it out of this one?

''{Cut to the silhouetted comet, with a question mark overlaid, Strong Mad holds up a sign reading "Tune in NEXTime...".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tune in next—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, none of that, just get to resolving.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Okay!

''{Up comes the "Resolution" screen, then cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat holding on to each other as the ship shakes around them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is it, Strap!

''{The shaking stops, the rocket sound dies away, and the "comet" comes out of the silhouette, revealing it to actually be a moldy cantaloupe, with the label "grodalated cantaloupe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute... that's no comet! We've wandered into the Forgotten Produce belt of Tablature 5!

''{The cantaloupe is joined by a bunch of overripe bananas and an overripe avocado.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's guacamole and banana bread time, Strap!

''{Some upbeat music plays, and Strong Bad and The Cheat dance to it.}''

''{The words "Cliffhanger #3" appear. Strong Sad and Homestar are standing around a table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Look, you can tell me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, come on, what is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm... pregnant!

''{Slow zoom in on Homestar, and the same dramatic sound is heard, in a lower tone. Up comes the "Resolution" screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No... no, you're Homestar. Runner. ''The male''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oohhhh, phew. Thought I was a pregnant woman for a second there.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah... uh... I think I'd like my money back now.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad walking back to the computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And there you go, Jakenstein. All the cliffhangers have been re—Aah!

''{The Lappy isn't on the desk; it has been replaced by a ransom note, which reads "i got your Lappy", and has a red-splattered comma key from the keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My computer's been Lappy-napped! And they cut off her little toe! ''{falls to his knees}'' Oh, sweet lady irony! ''Why'' do you mock me?

''{The dramatic sound (dun, dun, duuun) is heard. [[The Paper]] comes down, reading "Tune in next time for the cliff hanging conclusion!!"}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*An actual [[Wikipedia:Cliffhanger|cliffhanger]] is a plot device used at the end of a movie or TV show where the story comes to an abrupt end without resolving some key issues, so that if the viewer wants to know how the story ends, they will have to tune in to the next episode, or watch the next movie. The term comes from old movie serials which often ended with the heroes in imminent danger, including literally plummeting over or dangling over a cliff, urging the audience to return the next week to see how they make it out alive.
*A [[Wikipedia:Humbucker|humbucker]] is a type of guitar pick-up that uses two coils.
*[[Wikipedia:Tablature|Tablature]] is a specialized type of sheet music for stringed instruments, such as guitar.
* Homestar's line, "I'm [[Pregnancy|pregnant]]", with a close up is a spoof of stereotypical [[Wikipedia:Soap Opera|soap operas]] in which an episode would end with such a cliffhanger.
*Guacamole and banana bread are uses for over-ripe avocados and bananas (respectively). The avocado's skin was dark green (almost black), and the edges of its flesh were browning, both signs of being over-ripe. In addition, the bananas were extremely bruised, also signs of over-ripeness. Thematically, they fit in with the over-ripe, near-rotted cantaloupe that was the comet.

=== Trivia ===
*This email was sent by wiki user [[User:Cessna Man!|Cessna Man!]].
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#cake walk|cake walk]]".
*Below "the view" in the cardboard spaceship, there is a switch. Both positions of the switch are labeled "off".
*Homestar's and Strong Bad's shirts in the Easter egg read "Just Disks" and "Data Boys" respectively.
*When Strong Bad tosses the lunch bags, Homsar's says "Hom" and the King of Town's says "Kot".

=== Remarks ===
*The Thnikkaman already took his shades off in [[monument]] without his secret identity being revealed.
*In the final scene, the comma key is perfectly flat, as though it's part of the paper.

=== Goofs ===
* Strong Bad unnecessarily capitalized "Why" in "Yeah, Why not?"

=== Glitches ===
[[Image:Cliffhangergoof.png|thumb|125px|Strap in, Strap!]]
*During most of the cardboard spaceship scene, the green ground is slightly cut off on the left side of the screen, so that a strip of white is visible along the black edge of the frame.
*During Cliffhanger #3, when the camera zooms in on Homestar, if you look closely you can see part of his head protruding past his shirt on his left (your right) side.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''RYAN:''' It's the three of us together.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah! Money, money, money!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Just old times! I gotta... Remember that time I put Ryan in a full nelson for the whole commentary?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, I did.

'''MATT:''' In this one, we're gonna have our arms around him—

'''MIKE:''' We're just gonna put our—put our arms around Ryan!

'''RYAN:''' Comfortable.

'''MATT:''' So this was something we've been wantin' to do, uh, uh, two emails with a through line.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That are connected, but we never really done that before.

'''MATT:''' It's true. And then we kind of did... uh, ended up sort of doing ''three'' emails, really.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, 'cause the resolution was so dang long!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah...

'''RYAN:''' Two parts.

''{Pause as Strong Bad leaves the cliff}''

'''MATT:''' Um... so, you know... that cliff, um, has never shown up before, seemingly. It might be the spooky cliff... from Halloween. I'm gonna—I'm gonna be sure that it shows up again.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' Just like I was with the island.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you brought that back.

'''MATT:''' That's come back a few times.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Coach Z swipes his hand towards the Thnikkaman's cool shades}'' Oh! So this is ridiculous, because the Thnikkaman always takes his shades off to tell you to shut up, kid!

'''MIKE:''' Just chalk that one up to not knowing; I just didn't know that.

'''RYAN:''' Didn't check the Wiki.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{The Thnikkaman's singers sing the first line}''

'''MATT:''' Wait for it...

''{The Thnikkaman's singers sing the second line}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so we just took our arms, uh, off of Ryan. Ryan, you're a free man!

'''RYAN:''' I am.

'''MIKE:''' We didn't make it through the whole commentary.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' I was being pushed down.

'''MIKE:''' ''{as the Space Captainface scene begins}'' So I liked the continuation of Strong Ba—er, Space Captainface just talking about guitar...

''{Matt and Ryan speak inaudibly}''

'''MIKE:''' It's a through line, an undercurrent, a subtext, if you will. Malmsteen's Comet. Comment. Malmsteen's Commentary. We should get Yngwie in here to do the commentary!

'''RYAN:''' Those ''{inaudible}''

'''MATT:''' Satriani? I'm looking at a picture of Yngwie Malmsteen right now. So do you think with this new Fantastic Four movie with the Silver Surfer in it coming out, you think—

''{Mike imitates guitar riffs}''

'''MATT:''' You think Joe Satriani will get more popular? ''{unintelligible}''

'''RYAN:''' I heard he did the soundtrack.

'''MATT:''' That looks pretty bad, by the way.

'''MIKE:''' What?

'''MATT:''' The Silver Surfer.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I... uh... well, they made a sticker for the grodalated cantaloupe. Somebody was selling grodalated cantaloupe. That's terrible.

''{Pause as Strong Bad and The Cheat dance to the vibrant music at the end of the Space Captainface scene}''

'''MATT:''' That's a pretty good song.

''{Longer pause, ending with the suspenseful music playing after Homestar worries to Strong Sad that he is pregnant}''

'''MATT:''' Uh... we have talks to say?

'''MIKE:''' I have a talk.

'''MATT:''' Do—do some more.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{hastily}'' Strong Sad sits at that table a lot, gosh darn it!

'''MATT:''' It's in his room, isn't it? In his dark purple room?

'''MIKE:''' It's in his purple room, yeah. I—He's usually doing something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's not doing anything.

'''MIKE:''' He's got nothing. He doesn't even have peas that he's staring at. Oh, is Strong Bad really tiny? Look at how huge his desk is!

'''MATT:''' Possibly.

'''RYAN:''' ''{about the Lappy's "little toe"}'' That's disgusting.

'''MIKE:''' The bloody—

''{Unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' The Lappy is like alive!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, 'cause Strong Bad's head is about where it was now when he's kneeling down.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It's angled up.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The commentary during which Matt put Ryan in a "full nelson" was specifically that for [[portrait]].
*The "spooky cliff from Halloween" is specifically from [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*The new [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]] movie with the [[Wikipedia:Silver Surfer|Silver Surfer]] that Matt makes reference to is ''[[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer|Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer]]'', which would be released on June 15, 2007, a little over a week after this DVD was released.

'''Running Time:''' 5:30 ([[TV Time Toons Menu]]), 5:43 (Actual), 8:12 ([[YouTube]])

'''Page Title:''' St. Cadaverstump's Home for Wayward Sbemails

==Transcript==
''{We begin at Homestar's house. Ukulele music plays. Show a tennis racket with a grey wig, fake eyes, and fangs drawn on a Post-It note.}''

''{Cut to more Halloween "decorations": an exercise bike with "Boo" taped on the handlebars, empty picture frames with ketchup and mustard splatters, a ghost on [[Homestar's cow lamp]], and his clock showing 666.}''

''{Cut to Strong Mad, Strong Bad, and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS HALLOWEEN'S NOT WORKING!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boy, you said it, Strong Mad. This is the lamest haunted house ever. ''{looks down}'' My pants haven't entertained the thought of peeing themselves even once.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Scary shoes!

''{Shoes fall down from the ceiling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{bored}'' Really? Spooky shoes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking into room}'' No, no. Scary shoes. Spooky shoes are the next room.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, your haunted house is even worse than normal this year. ''{poking spear at Homestar}'' You ever think of using any actual Halloween decorations?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, Marzipan only let me use stuff from the Goodwill donations pile. Incomplete jigsaw puzzle!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams}''

''{The Cheat runs and hides behind Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This place is a disgrace to haunted houses, haunted hovels, haunted timeshares, and haunted extended stay motels even. Why, if ''I'' had a haunted house, I think it would turn out a little something... like the following ''{echoes}'' cartoon!

''{title screen: "The House That Gave Sucky Tricks"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to St. Cadaverstump's totally not just an old furniture warehouse morgue-tuary!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Open weeknights in October. Located just off I-20.

''{Cut to a dark room; a picture frame is silhouetted on the wall. Homestar enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first room would come out swingin', with everybody's favorite jibblies painting, The Jibblies Painting!

''{The lights turn on revealing the Horrible Painting. The music from [[Jibblies 2]] begins}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' Come on in here!

''{Record scratch; the painting now has a scared face.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah. We've all heard that before. But in order to take it to the next level, my haunted house would have a horrible painting of ''{thunder claps and lightning flashes}'' somebody's dad!

''{The painting is now of somebody's dad in cycling gear, holding a water bottle, in much the same pose as the original.}''

'''NEW JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Uh, hey, hey. Well, come on in here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{scared}'' Why is he wearing cycling gear? He's not even that serious about riding!

'''NEW JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Hey, I can do a 220 in 4:45. ''{slurps noisily from his bottle}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{fleeing}'' Ahhh!

''{Cut to a greenish room with faint blood splatters on the wall and floor. Marzipan enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then there would be... the gross out room. But instead of severed limbs...

''{Strong Sad's leg, Homestar's leg, and Strong Mad's arm are dangled from chains with mechanical whirrs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...And surgeries gone wrong...

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ahhh!

''{Marzipan is abruptly a Frankenstein-esque mutant with the limbs stitched on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's just a silent white room filled with pure stench.

''{With a "pop!", Marzipan is back to normal, and the room fades to pure white, with vents on the walls. Green gas begins filtering in through the vents.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And, oh, ho, ho. What a stench it is! Let me lay it on you like a movie trailer.

''{Marzipan holds her breath}''

''{Dramatic music plays. White words appear, one by one, on a red background as Strong Bad says them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad! Oyster! Smoothie! Breath! Caked! Armpit! Latte!

''{Record scratch; cut back to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, you know those words in that sequence are illegal. Arrest him, King of Town!

''{Pan over to reveal the King Of Town and the Poopsmith. The Poopsmith is putting the gas in jars and stoppering them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Keep bottling up that smell, Poopsmith! Wait, I can arrest people?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think so. I mean, you're allowed to execute people, right?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Do the words "doo hoo hoo" mean anything to you?

''{Cut to outside the King of Town's castle. Homsar and the Knight are standing next to a guillotine}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! This has been a supreme fish delight!

''{Homsar puts his head in the guillotine. Just as the blade comes down, the scene cuts to a poster for the next room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! There'd also be one of those immersive horror experience rooms that are so popular these days.

''{Fade to Strong Sad in yet another dark room. Also in the room are a timer reading 00:00, a vault door, a red skeleton in a cage, pointing at something, and a toilet behind Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' OK. Gotta logic this out.

''{Close-up of the vault door giving off a white flash}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Open the vault...

''{Cut to the timer, which also flashes. Time sets to 05:00.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...before time runs out.

''{Cut to the skeleton, which flashes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Skeleton's pointing at a clue.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Am I on the right track?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{watching via surveillance camera}'' Yup, just, just reach in the toilet. I just want you to reach in the toilet.

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's pointing at the toilet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's full of poop.

'''STRONG SAD:''' But that's just misdirection.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I just want you to touch the poop.

'''STRONG SAD:''' They want me to think I should reach in the toilet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! I ''do'' want you to reach in the toilet! That is all that I want you to do!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's too easy.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Touch the poop!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But I know better!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Touch the freakin' poop!

''{Strong Bad falls out of his chair. A paper is placed over the scene, on which is drawn a Teen Girl Squad-style box labeled "horror stuff".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Most horror stuff is pretty obvious.

''{The Ugly One is walking down the street}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like, of course it's terrifying to get disemjowel'd with a lunatic with a machete.

''{A lunatic with a machete slices The Ugly One's head in half, ejecting a pig head.}''

''{A Teen Girl Squad version of Strong Sad pops up on the bottom right}''

'''TEEN GIRL SQUAD STRONG SAD:''' Machété!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!

''{Teen Girl Squad Strong Sad turns away sadly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I think people are ready for the more subtle terror of...

''{Wipe to Coach Z and Bubs standing in a room with torn pink striped wallpaper. A sign that reads "2 Star Bed + Breakfast" is shown. The intro sting from [[I Killed Pom Pom]] plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two star bed and breakfast!

'''COACH Z:''' It's somehow worse than if it only got one star!

''{Characters' dialogue is illustrated through close-ups.}''

'''BUBS:''' Dry scrambled eggs? ''{Scrambled eggs make a puff of "PAFH!"-shaped dust, with accompanying sound effect.}'' Questionable hairs on the antimacassar? ''{putting the stress on "mac"}''

''{The Strong Sad sketch from before pops up}''

'''TEEN GIRL SQUAD STRONG SAD:''' Antimacassar! ''{putting the stress on "cas", which is the correct pronunciation}''

'''BUBS:''' Shut up!

''{Teen Girl Squad Strong Sad turns away sadly.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Failed terlet paper rose?

''{Cut back to the room, Coach Z is seen wearing a different outfit.}''

'''COACH Z:''' What kind of inhuman monsters would run a place like this?

'''SHUT UP LADY:''' Oh, it's so charming!

'''COACH Z, BUBS AND STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady!

''{Outward view of St. Cadaverstump's.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nowadays, everybody's tired of the same old evil clowns, undead cheerleaders, and all those bloody-eyed found footage children.

''{As Strong Bad speaks, the Clown Dog costume, a zombie version of Cheerleader, and the Sad Kids silhouetted in front of an old TV are shown in succession. The Sad Kids pop up in the foreground, with red eyes.}''

'''THE SAD GIRL:''' Nine.

'''THE SAD BOY:''' Sequels.

''{Cut to a room with an office chair resembling Le Restige.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But for my haunted house, I will unleash an entirely new horror icon! Say hello to the new face of terror! ''{chair turns around}'' Large Bean!

''{A humanoid figure with a white shirt and a large bean for a head is sitting on the chair. The bean tips backward, audibly hitting the back of the chair. Cut to Strong Bad, watching through a surveillance monitor as before.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, anybody? Don't you think that Large Bean is unsettling?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And next on our tour, if you'll all please gather around. Fill in all available space please. We have a prime specimen of Large Bean.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait. What, what the crap is this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Other varieties include, small bean...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stop it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extra large bean...

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is not a science museum!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, of course my favorite, teenie weenie beanie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You do not call Large Bean 'teenie weenie beanie'!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I sure hope they sell Large Bean plush dolls in the museum gift shop!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Lifts a Large Bean plush doll}'' I think you might be pleasantly surprised, young scholar!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Large Bean will eat your soul!

''{The scene cuts back to Homestar's house.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll eat all your souls!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, Strong Bad. The spooky shoes room really affected you this year, huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I thought this was the scary shoes room?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Close your eyes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... OK.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Open 'em. You're in the spooky shoes room now.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. You were right, Strong Mad. This Halloween's not working.

''{The Large Bean doll is laying in a spotlight, on a black background. The word "END!" is displayed in red text for a moment, then drops away. The narrator's lines now scroll past in spindly text as he speaks.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' When nights are chill and filled with doom, again will rise the cursed legume. So if you're out on Hallowe'en, beware the wrath of Largest Bean! ''{Begins laughing ominously as the last phrase stops and fades away, turning red as it does.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? This guy respects Large Bean.

'''NARRATOR:''' I'm sorry, Strong Bad. I-I... I can't get behind Large Bean.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The name of this toon is based on [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and a pun on the phrase, 'Trick or treat'.
*This the first Halloween toon Homsar appears in without activating an Easter egg.
*This is the first Halloween toon not to include a main character other than Homsar (specifically, Pom Pom) outside the final scene.
*This is the first time Homestar [[I really like your costume|really liked someone's costume]] while [[What are you supposed to be?|correctly identifying it]].
*This is the first Halloween toon that features a character switching costumes as well as a character switching costumes while still dressed as who they are supposed to be (specifically, Coach Z as André 3000 as each member of fictional band "The Love Below").

===Remarks===
*The King claims he doesn't know he can [[Crime and Punishment#Punishment|arrest people]] despite having placed Strong Bad under house arrest in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*The poster for the "immersive horror experience room" says:
<blockquote>
CAN YOU ESCAPE... 
<big>'''ROOM FIFTY-''' '''WHATEV'''</big> 
''{drawing of the room with "5?" over it}'' 
LIKE A REGULAR HAUNTED 
HOUSE, 'CEPT WITH THINKIN 
ALL OCT! IN OUR CARPORT
</blockquote>

===Goofs===
*In some scenes, the colors on Strong Bad's face switch sides.
*Sometime after being initially released, the toon was removed from the TV Time Toons Menu and the Main Page Messages.
*When Homestar is talking about the scary painting dad, part of the animation for his lip doesn't move as he talks.
*When Strong Sad was talking about the Large Bean Museum Gift Shop, his mouth was upside-down. This may have been done to quickly animate a smiling mouth on Strong Sad (reusing old animations), which is a rarity, as seen in the '06 halloween cartoon.
*In multiple instances the text used in the Flash version is select-able, including Homestar's box of Diaps!
*In the last scene with Strong Bad, his mouth movements are not perfectly synced with his speech.

===Glitches===
*When playing an Easter egg, all the other Easter eggs remain clickable. Clicking one will stop the current egg from playing and play the one that was most recently clicked. This is most notable in the latte Easter egg, which covers the entire screen and should block access to clicking on the characters.

===Inside References===
*One of the "scary shoes" is purple with a pattern similar to the bottom of Marzipan's dress, indicating that it likely belongs to her, despite the fact that [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|she may not have legs]].
*[[Homestar's clock]] is seen in disrepair at the beginning.
*Visible in the pile of "scary shoes" is a pair of [[Air Cardgage]]s previously seen in [[diorama]] and [[Hremail 2000]].
*In Pom Pom's Easter egg, Homestar makes references to the [[I Killed Pom Pom!|previous year's Halloween toon]], where he had "killed" Pom Pom by popping him. (Perhaps keeping with the theme, Pom Pom did not appear in the cartoon itself.)
*In Strong Mad's Easter egg, the song Homestar was singing first appeared in the [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks Teaser|teaser]] for this toon.
*The word "PAFH!" showed up in [[April Fool 2014]].
*Coach Z had considered dressing as André 3000 for Halloween in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*In Marzipan's Easter egg, Homestar references when she dressed up as Prince in [[Jibblies 2]].
*In Strong Bad's Easter egg, Homestar references when he dressed up as Beetlejuice in [[Jibblies 2]]. This is similar to how, in [[Happy Hallow-Day]], he mistook Strong Bad for "Evil Carmen Sandiego", when Strong Bad really dressed as Carmen Sandiego in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*The Knight is dressed as an Astropop, one of the treats available in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
**The Knight was also featured in the same toon, where he also appeared in costume as "Idaho".
*The Strong Mad Oyster Smoothie Breath Caked Armpit Latte featured in the Easter egg is another example of [[Real Live Foods|realistic food]].
**The table it's sitting on was also used in [[Sbemailiarized!]] for the hamburger restaurant.
*The Armpit Latte is from the makers of Hot Jones and Hot Pooey, both of which previously appeared in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]], in a similar Easter egg.
*Bubs and Coach Z say, "[[Shut Up, Lady]]!"
*The [[Strong Bad's Security Monitor|security monitor]] previously appeared in [[date]] and [[Best Caper Ever]].
*In Strong Mad's Easter egg, Homestar rhythmically repeats his "I really-really like your" comment, as he did in [[The House that Gave Sucky Tricks Teaser|this cartoon's teaser]] eight days earlier.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Goodwill Industries|Goodwill Industries]] is an American nonprofit organization/thrift shop chain.
*[[Michael Jackson]] was a musician, known as the "King of Pop". Marzipan's mention of her dressing up as Prince connects towards Jackson, as they were rivals in the eighties.
**"The kid is not his son" references the Jackson song "[[Wikipedia:Billie Jean|Billie Jean]]", which was released in 1982 off his album ''[[Wikipedia:Thriller (Michael Jackson album)|Thriller]]''.
*As Strong Bad mentions found footage movies, the Sad Kids mention the sequel counts, which could be a reference to the found footage film franchise, ''[[Wikipedia:Paranormal Activity (film series)|Paranormal Activity]]''.
*The narrator at the end, as well as his rhyming cadence, could be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Vincent Price|Vincent Price]]'s spoken monologue from the Michael Jackson song "[[Wikipedia:Thriller (song)|Thriller]]".
*The repeated "All right" in Coach Z's Easter egg references the song "[[Wikipedia:Hey Ya!|Hey Ya!]]" by [[Wikipedia:Outkast|Outkast]].
*Although Homestar refers to actor Jon Voight in his listing of names for Wilson the volleyball, he was likely actually referring to the [[Wikipedia:Voit|Voit]] sporting goods company, which makes various athletic equipment.
**Homestar also makes reference to [http://www.franklinsports.com Franklin Sports] and [[Wikipedia:Spalding (sports equipment)|Spalding]], two other manufacturers of sporting goods.
*Cookie Puss, like Fudgie the Whale, is a mascot of the [[Wikipedia:Carvel|Carvel]] ice cream store chain.
*The King of Town's line "I'm important! I mean something!" is a reference to his costume, the Devil's Tower sculpture that Richard Dreyfuss makes with his mashed potatoes in the [[Steven Spielberg]]-directed movie ''[[Wikipedia:Close Encounters of the Third Kind|Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]''. In the film, Dreyfuss becomes unknowingly obsessed with Devil's Tower and makes several sculptures of it because aliens have sent him a message to go there.
*Bubs's Easter egg features two direct references to ''The Gong Show''.
**Chuck Barris, the host of the show and the inspiration for Bubs's costume, would always throw to commercial saying "We'll be right back with more...stuff!"
**The song Homestar hums is "Jumpin' at the Woodside", a Count Basie tune which was the theme song for ''Gong Show'' regular [[Wikipedia:Gene Gene the Dancing Machine|Gene Gene the Dancing Machine]]. The dance Bubs does is Gene Gene's signature dance.
*Homsar's line "This has been a supreme fish delight!" is a reference to a small [http://supremefish.com/ chain of seafood restaurants] around [[Atlanta]].
*Strong Bad's haunted house is said to be located just off [[Wikipedia:Interstate 20|I-20]], which runs right through Atlanta.
*The two lines Homestar and Bubs speak in Homestar's Easter egg are quotes from ''[[Wikipedia:Raising Arizona|Raising Arizona]]'', whose lead character Homestar is dressed up as.
**[[wikipedia:Huggies|Huggies]] is a brand of disposable [[diapers]].
*Strong Bad's line "Why if I had a haunted house, I think it would turn out a little something..." could be a reference to David Lee Roth's "Just a Gigolo" song and music video. This would be fitting, as Strong Bad seems to be dressed up as David Lee Roth from David's ''Eat 'Em and Smile'' album cover art, seen in full at the start of the "Yankee Rose" video promo.
*Homestar's last line in Strong Bad's Easter egg refers to the ''[[Wikipedia:Beetlejuice (TV series)|Beetlejuice]]'' episode "Quit While You're a Head", which ends with the same vocalization.
*Clicking on the Poopsmith causes Strong Bad to [[youtube:aNqpdggBfgY|directly quote]] Feyd-Rautha in ''Dune''.

<div>subject: Srongbad email</div>
Hey. I am a girl from sweden and like magic. Could you do 
a magic trick? I would be so happy, and maybe visit some 
day. Her are a tips to you: Take homestar runner in a box 
and take a saw and saw him. 
From Agnes in sweden!
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad pauses briefly after saying "Hey", says "OK" after reading "Take Homestar Runner in a box", says, "Yes, yes!" after "and take a saw", and sounds excited after, "and saw him". He then exclaims "From Agnes in Sweden!?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You're a girl. From Sweden. And you want me to take a saw to Homestar Runner. Um, I think we might need to get married, Agnes. ''{clears screen}'' Of course I can do a magic trick, babehoney. But what kind should it be, honbaby? Are we talking about, like, community center talent show type magic? You know, the kind with—

''{A page of a book pops up, showing a picture of a stereotypical magician with two cups and two balls in front of him. Below him is the text "Cups and Balls", to the left of him is "Fig. 1a", and above him is "The How-to Book of How to Do Magics". A thought bubble is next to him saying, "Both!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —cups and balls, or those jangly metal rings where the guy's like "Jingle jangle!"

''{Another page of a book shows the same magician holding two rings close to each other. "Fig. 6a" is to the left, and "Jingle jangle!" appears in a word bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now they're ''separate'' rings!

''{The magician takes the rings away from each other as Strong Bad says this, prompting him to say "Omigosh!" The caption now reads "Fig. 6k."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, and don't forget the ubiquitous live woodland creature...

''{The magician is now holding a squirrel in his palm. The text "Fig. 17f" is to the left of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Cleverly smooshed into the lining of one's jacket or pants!

''{As Strong Bad says this, the magician shoves the squirrel into the front of his pants, apologizing with "Sorry, Mom!" The text now reads "Fig. 17g."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But nothing says low-grade magic substitute like...

''{Strong Bad appears on a stage with purple curtains, holding a cone of newspaper. To the left of him is a table with two balls, two rings and a glass of milk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The mystical Cone of Newspaper!

''{The crowd gasps. The camera zooms in on Strong Bad as he grabs the glass of milk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now watch carefully as I pour this full glass of white milk into this cone of newspaper!

''{He shakes the newspaper, and then pours milk into it. Crickets chirp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Huh? Huh? Err...

''{The camera zooms out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Does anyone remember what this trick is supposed to do?

''{Milk drips down the bottom of the newspaper. Strong Bad looks down at his leg and shakes it, causing The Cheat to burst out of his pant leg. The scene cuts to Strong Bad typing on the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or I could go a few steps up from that amateur stuff to the guys that are willing to blow their life savings in the name of magic! Or as I like to call them... moneygicians.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the field, standing on top of a small crate that reads "SEVENTEEN FOR FREE". A purple box with stars and an exclamation mark is to the left, with another box on top featuring a hole and a square hole with red curtains. His audience seems to be just Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, and Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, folks! Gazemaze in gazemazement, as I totally ordered Magic Novelties—

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad pointing his boxing gloves at the object on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and Amusement Catalog Item #1407B, assembled it, read the instructions on how to use it! And ''you'' didn't!

''{Strong Sad and Homestar Runner are shown in the audience. Each is standing next to another Item #1407B.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hate to burst your bubble, man.

''{Strong Bad is typing on his Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's also the subcategory of flowy-sleeved moneygicians. These are the guys with really hot assistants, really high production values, and really ''{pauses}'' not a lot of magic. They might as well just spend their money paying the audience to believe they did magic, instead of putting on a big, pointless show.

''{Strong Bad is talking to Bubs, wearing a jacket that's flowing in the wind because of a fan in front of him. Strong Bad hands Bubs some dollar bills.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here's a thousand bucks. I made this building disappear.

''{The camera zooms out. The word "POOF!" has been painted onto Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's gazemazing!

''{The scene darkens. When Strong Bad says "street magic", an easel propped up against the Cinder Block is shown reading "street" "magic" "today" with an arrow pointing right. }''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or I could go with the recent trend of street magic, but it usually just descends into dudes doing stupid crap to themselves in public.

''{Strong Bad is shown wearing a greasy shirt. A can labelled "tips" is to the right of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' For six straight days, I will not drink, I will not blink, I will not think! And I definitely will not do any magic while standing on top of Bubs' concession stand!

''{As he says this, the camera zooms out to reveal him on top of Bubs' stand with Homestar watching.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What magic!

''{Strong Bad is now typing on the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But forget about the different kinds of magic tricks. I think it's time to take Homestar Runner in a box. And take a saw. And saw him.

''{Strong Bad is on stage, holding a saw and wearing the flowy jacket, again with a fan behind him. Homestar is next to him, wearing a box labeled "This Side Brown" upside down with an arrow pointing towards Homestar's head and some fake arms.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, we've never met before, have we, sir?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, good buddy Strong Bad. We have never met.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You look like a man of many arms.

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I'm like an octopus.

''{Drumroll as the camera zooms back out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right then, hold still... this might hurt a lot-tle!

''{Abruptly, Homestar's fake arms fall off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oops.

''{A silhouetted Coach Z appears abruptly.}''

'''COACH Z:''' That saw didn't even touch him! He's pure evil!

''{Strong Bad is typing on the Lappy again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, sweet wife Agnes, that didn't turn out ''exactly'' as I hoped. But now, not only does Coach Z think I'm a good magician, he also thinks I'm a class 3 dark wizard! Oh, and one more thing, Agnes...

''{Strong Bad holds a card up to the screen, showing four pictures of his butt, reading "4 my butt".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Was ''this'' your card?

''{A crowd gasps, and the [[New Paper]] comes down. A second later, Strong Sad interrupts.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Wait, Strong Bad, you left out an important kind of magic!

''{Strong Bad glances over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

''(The camera zooms out to reveal Strong Sad at the desk, wearing a blue leotard, with the words "Spandex Wonder" on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The magic of il-l-l-l-l-lusion.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, I hope to high Heaven that outfit is an illusion!

''{Strong Sad's head tilts forward somewhat, until it falls off and shatters on the floor. A second Strong Sad appears on the other side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Il-l-l-l-l-lusion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wah!

''{Strong Bad jumps and grabs the first, headless Strong Sad. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*While the toon is zoomed in on Strong Bad, you can click on item #1407B after he says its catalog number to see its catalog page in ''Magic Novelties and Amusements Catalog''. It's called "The Devil's Crapper", and sells for "Just $6,000".
*At the end, click on "class 3 dark wizard" to see a Teen Girl Squad-style clip featuring Coach Z and D N'D Greg.
*:'''COACH Z:''' How can I defeat him, o' my master?
*:'''D N'D GREG:''' First you'll have to procure some root of mandrake powder.
*:'''COACH Z:''' Ooh! I should have plenty o' that layin' around! That's what I use to defeat the dark fungus from downungus!
*:'''D N'D GREG:''' ''{pause}'' I'm gonna have to ask you to leave my parent's basement now.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The sawing magic trick that Agnes refers to is most likely the classic "[[Wikipedia:Sawing a woman in half|Saw A Woman In Half]]" routine, first performed by British magician [[Wikipedia:P.T. Selbit|P.T. Selbit]].
*The paper cone and milk trick's usual illusion is that the milk is supposed to disappear by unravelling the newspaper, completely dry. It is described [http://magic.asme.org/pdf/4milkpitcher.pdf here]. (PDF.)

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#rama|rama]]".
*The box Homestar is in says "THIS SIDE BROWN".
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad describes the various kinds of magic."

===Remarks===
*The trick with the "jangly rings" Strong Bad describes involves a pair of solid metal rings becoming linked or separated during the trick without breaking. However, the rings in the first illustration are not linked.
*While Strong Bad is presenting item #1407B to an audience, the silhouettes of the audience are of three heads, Homestar, Strong Sad, and Coach Z. However, when the audience is revealed, only Strong Sad and Homestar are present.
*The symbols on Strong Bad's "4 my butt" card are all right-side-up. Traditionally, playing cards have the lower half of their symbols upside-down so that they look mostly the same either way.
**Also, where it says "my butt" should have another image of a butt, instead of text.
*In the Easter egg, D N'D Greg mentions his "parent's basement". Unless the basement belongs to only one of his parents, the apostrophe should go after the "s".

===Goofs===
[[Image:Wall-bracket-goof.png|thumb|200px|And for my next trick, I shall put a bracket on the wall!]]
*The close square bracket "]" that precedes Strong Bad's opening reply is seen on the wall as it rises after he clears the screen.
*When Homestar's "arms" fall, the image of the baseball bat skews to conform to the "surface" of the floor and is on top of Homestar's blue sole.
*When the camera zooms out at the desk to reveal Strong Sad, there are no legs on the desk.

===Inside References===
*This is another occurrence of characters recognizing that Homestar has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no arms]].
*Homestar's fake arms originate from [[fingers]], except the "arms" are in the opposite places.
*This is an instance of [[Strong Sad's severed head]].
*The community center magic section mentions [[pants]].
*This is another example of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Sad's Revenge|Strong Sad getting his revenge]].
*This email features several [[portmanteau]]s:
**"moneygician": "money" and "magician"
**"gazemaze": "gaze" and "amaze"
**"gazemazement": "gaze" and "amazement"
**"gazemazing": "gaze" and "amazing"
**"a lottle": "a lot" and "little"
**"babehoney" and "honbaby": "honey" and "baby"
*In describing said moneygicians, Strong Bad says that they have "really hot assistants, really high production values, and really [[Not X|not a lot of magic.]]"
*The [[soapbox]] now reads "Seventeen For Free".
*This is an instance of [[Strong Bad wearing a shirt]].
*In this email, The Cheat seems to fit into Strong Bad's pant leg only through the power of [[hammerspace]].
*[[Cricket Noises|Crickets chirp]] when Strong Bad forgets how the cone of newspaper trick works.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad claiming he will stand on Bubs' Concession stand for six days is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Endurance art|endurance artists]], most notably [[Wikipedia:David Blaine|David Blaine]].
* Strong Sad's outfit and reference to "Illusion" at the end are a reference to the late Canadian magician, [[Wikipedia:Doug Henning|Doug Henning]].
*Strong Bad's flowy-sleeved magicians are a reference to illusionists, such as [[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]], who wear similar shirts while they perform. His attempt to make Bubs' concession stand disappear is specifically a reference to Copperfield's famous [[Wikipedia:Vanishing the Statue of Liberty|Vanishing the Statue of Liberty]] illusion.
*In the Easter Egg, D N'D Greg mentions Mandrake Powder. Mandrake is a [[wikipedia:Mandrake (plant)|real plant]] that traditionally was thought to have magical properties.

===Commentary Transcript===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Mike, you had a metal detector when we was kids.

'''MIKE:''' Why are you talking about metal detectors during this email?

'''MATT:''' ''{stutters, laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' This is the wrong commentary, man. You were doing the commentary for "[[buried]]".

'''MATT:''' I thought— I thought you just said we should do "buried". You know ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MIKE:''' No, you said "magic trick". You said "magic trick".

'''MATT:''' ''{mumbling}'' I said the wrong one, guys... 

'''MIKE:''' Alright, so we're gonna keep going now. Even though Matt was all set to talk about metal detectors. Uhhh, so your father-in-law's a magician.

'''MATT:''' Yes. Yeah. He can do a trick or two.

'''MIKE:''' He did some magic tricks at your rehearsal, that I recall.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. He did.

'''MIKE:''' Is he all gearing up for Ida's second birthday party?

'''MATT:''' He ought to.

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh. ''{pause}'' He's a good magician. I married a magician's daughter.

'''MATT:''' I heard.

'''MIKE:''' There's Matt, uh— those are pictures of Matt that we took that night that I traced. ''{chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' Oh... Oh, my gosh!

'''MIKE:''' Looks very surprised!

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohh, sorry.

'''MIKE:''' What is it— Does your Mom really like squirrels? Was that squirrel your Mom?

'''MATT:''' I think it's a ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MIKE:''' Or was she just so embarrassed that you had— that your profession requires you to stuff small creatures down your pants?

'''MATT:''' I think that it's a combination of all of those. So what used to happen? Would they end up, like, crumbling up the newspaper when the milk was mysteriously gone? Was that how that trick used to work?

'''MIKE:''' Pfff. I don't know, man. I really think you just would... pour milk in the newspaper, and it... you know.

'''MATT:''' But what was the, like, magic that was supposed to even be happening?

'''MIKE:''' That it didn't go straight to the ground.

'''MATT:''' But, like, would they end up pouring the milk out of soggy newspaper?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know. I— I feel like Donnie could do it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah... Uh, Jackie's dad had a couple of... nothing this extravagant, obviously. But he has a couple of funny little, like, you know, just things you buy...

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Moneygician things?

'''MATT:''' ...like, yeah. ''{pause}'' Um, what do you think Strong Sad and Homestar were gonna do with those things? You know, sell 'em on eBays? On one of— one of the different eBays?

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad was gonna... I dunno. I don't have anything to say that's funny that, uh... I can finish that sentence with.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What about Joe? ''{Mike laughs}'' Joe Bluth?

'''MIKE:''' Look at how tall the concession stand is, there.

'''MATT:''' Don't blame me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{about the writing on the chalkboard}'' So, are all three of those things untrue?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' With the quotation marks, is that what that implies?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there's no street.

'''MIKE:''' ''{still laughing}'' No magic.

'''MATT:''' No magic.

'''MIKE:''' And it's tomorrow. ''{pause}'' Umm... so David Blaine just did one of his non-magic things.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I didn't even know about it.

'''MIKE:''' Like, last week, he hung upside-down. For 60 hours or something?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Good job.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' ''{imitating}'' I can't believe my eyes.

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating}'' The wonders. ''{Mike laughs}'' All of the wonders.

'''MIKE:''' There's a little coloured lights  in the background. ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I didn't, uh, I didn't think I'd noticed them when this email went up.

'''MIKE:''' I made them.

'''MATT:''' Did you put them just now, in there?

'''MIKE:''' No, it was— they were always in there.

'''MATT:''' Go sports! ''{pause}'' Wait, what's that thing that hit the ground? What was he holding? I think it was supposed to be a base— uh, a wiffle ball bat?

'''MIKE:''' A wiffle ball bat with the finger on it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. When the wiffle ball bat hit the ground, it like, flattened.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it looks really good.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it was a cardboard cut-out of a wiffle ball bat. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhhh!

'''MIKE:''' Four of my butt. He's got a nice posterior.

'''MATT:''' ''{grumbles}'' Oh yeah!

''{both laugh}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, Doug Henning. Spandex Wonder. ''{when the fake Strong Sad's head breaks}'' Ohhhhh!

''{both laugh}'' ''{Mike clears his throat}''

{{dvdproofread}}

===Fun Facts===
*Mike and Matt mention Ida (Matt's first child), [[Donnie Chapman]], and [[Jackie Chapman]].

*One of the magicians Matt references is probably George "GOB" (pronounced like the name "Job") Bluth from ''Arrested Development''.

== Transcript ==
''{Music plays. A silhouette of Homestar and Marzipan can be seen through the falling snow. Lines representing the wind curl by.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan with earmuffs and scarf holding a dish and Homestar in his brown hat walking through The Field through the snow. Homestar looks distressed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan! Explain to me why we're slogging through this blizzard again? I don't think I can slog much further!

''{Cut to a tighter shot of the two}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I told you, at Decemberween time, it's our duty as people with more than one DVR to help those much, much, much, much, way very, very, very much, really smelly, a lot much less fortunate than us.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And you think bringing him bean sprouts is, ahem, helping?

''{Pull back to a wider shot. Marzipan looks angrily at Homestar.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Be quiet and keep slogging. We're almost there.

''{A bush comes into view.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, man! This guy? ''{They stop walking}'' When you said less fortunate, I just assumed you meant Coach Z.

''{Coach Z pops up in the foreground from under a snow drift, wearing a Blubb-O's box on his head}''

'''COACH Z:''' Me too!

''{Coach Z disappears}''

''{A doorbell sounds. Senor Cardgage rises into view accompanied by traffic sounds. He's facing away from Marzipan and Homestar.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Hello, Chi Minh?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, Mr. Senor! Happy Decemberween!

''{Cut to a tighter shot of the three of them.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Is this a frank call?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, no, over here. ''{Cardgage turns around.}'' We brought you some food for the holidays.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. We come down off our high horse to spread a little Decemberween cheer.

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Thank you, Hot Pooey. ''{Homestar looks mad. Zip pan to a close-up of the bush as Cardgage gestures to it.}'' Would you care to coincide?

''{Close-up of Homestar and Marzipan}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, did that guy just call me "Hot Pooey"? And invite me inside that bush?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{embarrassed}'' Maybe? ''{Marzipan smiles nervously}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's it, I'm going back to your house. Later on, we'll conspire.

''{Cut back to a wider shot. Homestar walks off screen left. Cardgage is now shaking and groaning.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, you poor wretch. What's the matter?

''{Cut to medium shot of Marzipan and Cardgage.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Oh, not much... I'm just... dying.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Gasp!

''{A red title card with a holly border slides in from screen right. Words appear as the singers sing them.}''

'''SINGERS:''' A Decemberween Mackerel... (The name of this cartoon!)

''{Crossfade to Homestar wearing a mistletoe sweater and a red bow lying on Marzipan's couch, the camera slowly trucking back to reveal his entire body.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{joyously}'' Oh, Marzipan! Is that you? I'm wearing a sweater made out of mistletoe! And what feels like a colony of venomous bugs! ''{various black insects jump around Homestar's body}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan! What's the big idea of bringing this guy home? ''{Cut to close-up to Homestar}'' I was about to give you your Decemberween make-out present. ''{Homestar winks and clicks with his mouth.}''

''{Cut back to previous shot as Homestar stands.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is serious, Homestar. Senor Cardgage is dying! ''{Cardgage nods}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, cool. Then we'll just make out after. What do you give him, five minutes? No minutes? ''{Homestar steps towards Marzipan.}'' No minutes?

''{Close-up of Marzipan. She's angry.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, I don't have time to trick you into making out with a mop again this year. ''{Her expression clears}'' Hmm, if we cram him full of enough holiday cheer, maybe he can squeeze out a Decemberween miracle!

''{Cut to medium shot of all three}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I love cramming holiday cheer. I'll go get my ''{pulls a black rod wrapped in gold and white tinsel from off screen}'' tinsel-wrapped cram rod!

''{Beat. Homestar glances around once. Marzipan is not amused.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, I'm back.

''{Push wipe up red card reading "Holiday Cheer Cramlist" "Caroling"}''

''{Push wipe up to reveal Homestar, Marzipan and Cardgage outside singing at sunset around a bathtub with chains around it. Homestar is waving his cram rod and Marzipan is holding a candle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Coach Z's been drinking non-specific mouthwash-rine.

''{A man's arm holding several sheets of paper comes in from the left.}''

'''MAN:''' I need you to sign here.

''{Homestar pushes the papers away with his cram rod.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{echoey}'' Oh, thanks, guys. That warms my heart.

''{Cut to a shot inside of the tub. Strong Sad's face is seen in the bottom right of the frame and a chain around his body. Homestar is looking through the slats above.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Not enough to stave off the onset of hypothermia, of course. But a month-long ''{cut back to outside. Cardgage is groaning and swaying}'' coma's nothing I haven't dealt with before.

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{groaning}'' My coma's toast...

'''MARZIPAN:''' Time to go!

''{Marzipan and Cardgage dash off screen right, while Homestar follows.}''

''{Cut to red card as before. Caroling is crossed out and "Greeting Card" is in the center. A musical sting plays.}''

''{Push wipe down to reveal Pom Pom with a camera on a tripod and lighting umbrellas behind him. He is gesturing with an arm.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

''{Reverse shot reveals Homestar in his mistletoe sweater, Marzipan with lights in her ponytail and Cardgage wearing a olive green cardigan. Homestar moves slightly to the right in the frame.}''

''{Reverse shot. Pom Pom gestures his arm up.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

''{Reverse shot. Marzipan moves up slightly.}''

''{Reverse shot. Pom Pom gestures to his right.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

''{Reverse shot. Cardgage moves slightly to the right.}''

''{Reverse shot. Pom Pom, irritated, gestures his arm and bubbles for a long time.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

''{Reverse shot. Cardgage continues to move to the right until he is halfway out of the frame.}''

''{Reverse shot. Pom Pom indicates for Cardgage to stop.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

''{He picks up Gooblies and squeezes him. There is a white flash and cuts to a card with "Seasoned Greetings", with a picture of Homestar and Marzipan, and Cardgage halfway out of the frame.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, now we need to make the corresponding ''{cut to a wider shot, showing the card in the lower left, while Marzipan is wearing half-moon glasses.}'' newsletter to brag about our family. ''{Marzipan clicks the pen and takes a deep breath, then slams the pen onto the paper, writing. As she starts to write, the words appear behind her. Very rapidly:}'' This year was so great! Our family is so great! I can't believe Homestar started fourth grade! How time flies. It's so great! Senor Cardgage won first place in sports and was selected to be terminally ill! ''{She starts writing on the paper in various angles, across already-written words, and in margins.}'' I am in book club and PTA carpool and redoing the back-splash. It's so great! Warm wishes, ''{Carves this last line into her table:}'' The Marzipan-Homestar-Cardgages.

''{Cut to Homestar sitting on the arm of the couch with his cram rod. Cardgage is lying on the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{waving cram rod around}'' Our family is, literally and figuratively, so great! ''{Cardgage groans}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{off-screen}'' Movin' on!

''{Push wipe left red title card. Caroling and Greeting Card are now crossed out with "Waiting In Line" in the center.}''

''{Push wipe left to reveal Bubs' Concession Stand. A silhouette of Bubs can be seen waving his arms. A line of people can be seen, ending with Marzipan and Cardgage. Camera slowly pans and reveal Homestar in the foreground.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{faintly}'' I've got a sale on everything. I've got all kinds of sales!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, Bubs. ''{Camera pans to reveal Bubs standing next to Homestar. Homestar pokes him with the cram rod.}'' What's this line for?

'''BUBS:''' The holidays.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Perfect! How long is it?

'''BUBS:''' Three miles or eighteen days. ''{Pull back to reveal Cardgage standing behind them.}'' Whichever comes first.

''{Cardgage turns around groaning. Bubs looks annoyed.}''

''{Marzipan sticks her head in screen right. Homestar appears stunned and pokes Cardgage with his cram rod.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' All right, that's enough. Let's move. Peeow! ''{She grabs Cardgage and dashes off screen right.}''

''{Push wipe right red title card as before. Caroling, Greeting Card and Waiting In Line are all crossed off, with "Tree Lighting" now in the center.}''

''{Push wipe right to Coach Z standing next to Homestar. Homestar is waving his cram rod.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nothing crams Decemberween cheer like the annual lighting ''{Cut to wider shot of Coach Z, Homestar, Marzipan and Cardgage standing around the telephone pole. Yellow lights are strung from the pole, and an orange extension cord is in the foreground. Cardgage sways.}'' of the lights attached to a pole in a tree-shaped fashion.

''{Cut back to the shot of Coach Z and Homestar. Homestar has picked up the extension cord.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If this doesn't cure him, nothing will!

'''COACH Z:''' Don't I know it! Last year, these lights cured me of chronic athlete's tongue, and the year before that it was rub rash, and then hot pooey—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Excuse me, you're disgusting. Barf.

''{Homestar pretends to throw up (complete with dotted-line imaginary vomit) and turns away. Coach Z looks disappointed. Homestar then plugs in the extension cord.}''

''{Cut to a wider shot. The lights turn on.}''

'''HOMESTAR, MARZIPAN, & COACH Z:''' Oh!

''{Cut to medium shot of Marzipan and Cardgage. Cardgage is disheveled and his glasses are falling off.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh wow, if it was pitch black and I squinted and was a few miles away, ''{cut to a wide silhouette of all standing around the tree}'' this would sort of look like a tree almost! ''{Cut back to previous shot.}'' Isn't it wonderous, Senor? A real miracle-inducing spectacle, isn't it?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{moans}'' Oh, my Toyota Cressida... ''{Cardgage falls down}''

''{Cut to wider shot with Cardgage in the snow.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, no!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yes!

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat come in from the bottom of the frame. Cut to medium shot of Marzipan and Strong Bad, with Strong Mad in a sweater and The Cheat green hat behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's goin' on here?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Help, quick! I think Senor Cardgage is dying!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And what makes you think that?

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' He told me so when I brought him a hot covered dish to brighten his dismal life.

''{Cut back to the medium shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''He'' told you. ''{Close up of Strong Bad}'' You decided to take, at face value, something the guy who lives in a bush and talks to melty candy bars said.

''{Cut back to medium shot}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Maybe?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And, who not fifteen minutes ago, told me I ''{cut to the Basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is standing on the arm of the orange couch and Cardgage is standing next to it. Marzipan's dish is sitting on the couch. Cardgage moves his mouth to match what present-Strong Bad is quoting.}'' "might paste away if I Dinty Moore." ''{Strong Bad begins to leap on the dish.}''

''{Cut back to The Field. Cardgage stirs and holds up an opened can of stew that says "Dented")''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You rally might, Pez dispenser. ''{He collapses}''

''{Close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Besides, everybody knows the way to save Senor Cardgage is to cut a bunch of motor sports magazines in half and pour gravy on a defibrillator. A-like so.

''{Cut Strong Mad with magazines that read "Modasports. The 2011 Tomatocycle!!!! Daaaang!" The Cheat is standing next to a defibrillator and a gravy boat. Strong Mad grunts and pulls the magazines apart. The Cheat then takes the gravy boat and pours the gravy on the defibrillator. Music plays and the silhouette of Cardgage can be seen rising.}''

''{Cut to a shot of Cardgage with rays behind him, standing tall.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Oh, my grabness, grabness. It really is...

''{Cut to a shot of all standing around the tree. Strong Sad is still in his tub, next to The King of Town and Strong Mad. The Poopsmith is standing behind Bubs screen left.}''

'''ALL:''' A Decemberween mackerel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappointed}'' And nobody's dying.

''{Cut to an emaciated Homsar lying in the snow, his hat faintly wiggling as he speaks}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAa! I'm your death's door neighbor. Puff. Cough. Toff.

''{Red card with End appears}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Clicking on the E on "End" at the end of the toon will show a quick scene of Homestar Runner making out with "Marzipan".
*:''{The door of Marzipan's closet is shown, with some mistletoe leaves scattered outside it. Homestar's voice comes from inside the closet}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Oh, I must say... Oh, twice... Marzipan, it's so romantic the way you lured me into this closet! ''{Marzipan is seen walking by the closet}'' ...And the way your wet stringy face tastes like seven kitchen floors! ''{Homestar coughs}'' ...Cockroach.

*Clicking on the D on "End" at the end of the toon will show a new product from the makers of "Hot Jones".
*:''{A mug of Hot Jones is shown}''
*:'''ANNOUNCER:''' From the makers of Hot Jones comes Hot Pooey, our newest holiday sensation! ''{The mug is replaced by a different mug, the contents of which are censored}'' Hot Pooey! ''{A speech bubble that contains the following emits from the new mug, and a Santa Claus-like beard appears on the mug}'' Oh dear God, what have we done??

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A DVR is a [[Wikipedia:Digital video recorder|digital video recorder]].
*To come down off one's high horse means to stop thinking less of other people.
*This toon was released eighteen days before New Year's, which is the time Bubs's "holiday line" lasts.

===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#New Holiday Toon - A Decemberween Mackerel|RSS description]] for this toon is:
<blockquote>Surprise! Like an errant reindeer that's come loose from the sleigh, hurtling towards the earth at breakneck speed, bursting into flames, and impact cratering the crap out of your front yard...It's a Decemberween cartoon! Marzipan takes it upon herself to try and improve Senor Cardgage's dismal life. Man! Years go by fast, huh?! Cram that holiday cheer! Cram it!</blockquote>
*This is only the second toon of 2010, and the first one released since [[Xeriouxly Forxe]] eight months earlier. It was also the first "real" update (i.e., a toon with a plot) in over a year.
*On the [[Main Pages]], when "[[Main Page Messages|new holiday toon!]]" was moused over, its words changed to "[[for real]]!".
*This toon was built at the normal 550×400 size but is shown at four times that size (double in each direction), and is the first such toon to be displayed in this way. There are [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#Screen size|several possible remedies]] for viewers having trouble viewing the toon at this resolution.
*The camera shutter, and Marzipan's "Moving on!" and "Peeow!" are cued sound clips rather than streaming sounds, and will play when frmae-by-framing through the Flash file.

===Remarks===
[[File:ADecemberweenMiracle.png|thumb|A Decemberween Miracle, not the name of this cartoon!]]
[[File:HotPooeyUncensored.png|thumb|Ohh, there's two of them!]]
*Much like [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], this cartoon appears to be presented in a [[Sound Quality|higher audio sample rate]] than usual.
**In fact, it seems that starting with this cartoon, all future Homestar cartoons will have high quality sound.
*For four frames, while the title is coming to the foreground, it reads "A Decemberween Miracle".
*Hot Pooey, beneath its censored bar, is identical to [[Hot Jones]].
*When Marzipan and Homestar are walking at the beginning, Homestar has footsteps and Marzipan leaves a solid trail, again [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|hinting her body is actually dress-shaped]].
*Senor Cardgage does not use any female names when speaking to others (as he often does); at one point, he even uses a male name.
*When Homestar is asked to sign a document, if the writing on the pages is facing Homestar, the document is stapled in the top right corner. This is opposite of how conventional English legal documents are stapled.
*When Strong Bad quotes Senor Cardgage from their earlier affair, Senor Cardgage lip syncs "I" instead of "you".

===Goofs===
*The leaf of mistletoe that falls from Homestar's "sweater" disappears a few seconds later.
*Senor Cardgage's left hand disappears the moment he finishes rising from the bush. At the same time, a previously-opaque hole in the bush becomes transparent, so a spot of his right hand appears.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad is [[The Best Decemberween Ever|locked in]] [[Homestar Presents: Presents|a bathtub]].
*Homestar wants to [[Making Out|make out]] with Marzipan.
*Senor Cardgage claims he is [[death|dying]].

*Marzipan grabs Cardgage and yells "[[spoken sound effects|Peeow!]]".
*Homestar says "Oh, [[twice]]" while making out with Marzipan, reminiscent of Strong Bad in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]].
*Coach Z pops up wearing a [[Blubb-O's]] box.
[[File:MackeralRejectedCharacters.png|thumb|Rejected for the holidays]]
*The silhouettes of most of the [[rejected characters]] appear in line for Bubs' Concession Stand. The characters are as follows, from first in line to last: Homeschool Winner, Rafferty, Preshy, Champeen, The Hurricane, and three Unguraits standing on top of each other.
*The last line of Marzipan and Homestar's carol, "Coach Z's been drinking nonspecific mouthwash", is a reference to the song "O Decemberween" at the end of [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. The original line was "Coach Z's been drinking Listerine."
*Senor Cardgage appears from [[hammerspace]], accompanied by the traffic noise first heard in [[Senorial Day]], and again in [[hremail3184]].
*Pom Pom picks up [[Gooblies]] when taking the picture.
*Homestar saying "Our family is literally, and figuratively, so great" is a reference to [[Jibblies 2]].
*The [[Minor Foods#Tomatocyle|tomatocycle]] previously showed up in [[Where U Goin' 2?]].
*Homestar pretends to [[Puking|puke]] when Coach Z tells him about his illnesses.
*The music that plays when Cardgage comes back to life is similar to the [[Lappy 486]]'s startup noise.
**The exact [[sound effect]] was previously used in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] when [[Eh! Steve!]]'s mouth began to float away.
*The word "pooey" was first spoken by [[The Homestar Runner]] in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]]. When he encounters [[Rumble Red]], he says, "Aw, phooey! And after that, pooey! Not you again!"
*The defibrillator was previously seen in the email [[specially marked]].
*During the caroling, the candle Marzipan is holding is the same as in the email [[love poems]].
*This is the second time Senor Cardgage is referred to as "Mr. Senor", the first being in [[Senorial Day]].

*Senor Cardgage calls Strong Bad "[[Wikipedia:Pez|Pez dispenser]]".
*Right before Senor Cardgage collapses, he complains about his [[Wikipedia:Toyota Cressida|Toyota Cressida]] (which, in his case, appears to be an organ and not a car).

Strong Bad gives safety tips for his Gameways.

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

'''Places:''' White Vastness, [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]]

'''Date:''' Tuesday, April 1, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 1:53

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Six}}, {{dvd|SBCG4AP Collector's DVD|notitle=true}}

==Transcript==
''{Music begins and text fades in from a white background: "And now an important safety announcement". Strong Bad walks forward in a flight attendant's uniform.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello. And welcome to Strong Bad Gameways. Thank you for playing with us today. Please take a moment to familiarize your bad self with the following safety precautions.

''{The text "Safety Precautions" appears next to Strong Bad in dripping blue letters. Fade to a closeup of a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Due to the possibility of in-game wiggle and waggle, it is recommended that you play your game in a large, open space, free of debris, rubble, and flotsam and Jetsons.

''{Arrows and text appear during the above monologue to demonstrate "Wiggle" and "Waggle". A watercolor picture of a man swinging a Wii remote appears to demonstrate a "large, open space". Sketches of a vase of flowers, a flaming military jeep, a message in a bottle, and a cross-eyed George Jetson appear to demonstrate "debris", "rubble", "flotsam", and "Jetsons", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ideal play spaces include: gymnasiums, abandoned airplane hangars, deserts, and fruitèd plains.

''{The man swinging a remote appears in the above environments on each verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to a sketch of a room with an open window and a Wii remote on a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you are seated in a window seat, please be advised that the Baba Jaga may show up to steal your firstborn baby.

''{The Baba Jaga appears carrying a sack with a baby on the verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, wearing an inflatable vest and holding a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lastly, your game controller is equipped with a safety cover that can double as a flotation device. ''{closeup of Wii remote}'' Simply pull on the cord, and the device will inflate.

''{Strong Sad pulls on a tab on the bottom of the remote, and the Wii jacket inflates.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But we're not quite safe enough yet. ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' At this time, you may want to inflate your ''own'' safety vest to prevent ''anything'' from ever happening.

''{Cut to Strong Sad. He pulls the cord to inflate his vest and it engulfs him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Waah!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' On behalf of our awesome-based crew, thank you for playing with us. You are now fully prepared to enjoy your game in total unplayable safety.

''{Closeup of the "Strong Bad Gameways" logo, a golden [[The Cheat]] with wings. Music fades.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Strong Bad trapped in inflated vests in their basement. Their Wii remotes are on the floor, protected in inflated jackets.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think my contents may have shifted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man. This is the best game I've never played!

''{Cut to a closeup of the game on the TV. In the game, a 3D Strong Bad is standing at The Stick and looking around. The score is -1000 and the text "Actual Gameplay Footage" flashes over the screen. A Wii remote appears onscreen with the flashing text "Do something!" The Strong Bad sprite scratches himself and shrugs, and the text "Nevermind." appears next to the Wii remote. The Strong Bad sprite hangs his head and walks away, and the text "Game Over" fills the screen.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Baba Yaga|Baba Jaga]], better known as Baba Yaga, is a witch appearing in Slavic folklore. While this toon suggests she kidnaps children, this is not the case in the myths, where she prefers to cook and eat anyone who happens upon her.
*The phrase ''[[wikipedia:Marine debris|flotsam and jetsam]]'' describes discarded odds and ends or any objects found floating or washed ashore.
*This safety demonstration partially resembles those done prior to the takeoff of an airplane.
**The wiggle and waggle refers to [[Wikipedia: turbulence|turbulence]].
**Strong Sad's comment refers to the warning after arrival that the contents of the overhead bins may have shifted, meaning that some of the bags might be leaning against the doors and could fall onto unaware passengers when the bins are opened.

===Trivia===
*This is the first Homestar Runner video officially released on [[YouTube]].
*The YouTube video ID for this video was given in an Easter egg in [[shapeshifter]].

===Remarks===
* The 3D Strong Bad on the [[Telebision]] has a plain white mouth, unlike the real Strong Bad's flesh-colored mouth.
*Most windows on modern airplanes are incapable of being opened.

===Goofs===
* On Strong Sad's Wii Remote, the rightmost column of speaker holes is misaligned relative to the other two.

===Inside References===
*This is another instance in which [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|Strong Bad wears a shirt]] (the flight attendant's uniform).
*The name of the [[YouTube]] account used to upload this video, [http://www.youtube.com/sportsinterviewa sportsinterviewa], is a reference to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The Baba Jaga's leaving comment, "She Gone!", was also used in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]].
*Strong Bad says this is the [[Best/Worst X Ever|best game he's never played]].
*"Fruitèd plains" is another instance of the [[-èd]] pronunciation.
*The game footage resembles Strong Bad just "standing there" from [[cartoon]].
*This video shows [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad and Strong Sad getting along]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:George Jetson|George Jetson]] is the father on the animated series ''[[Wikipedia:The Jetsons|The Jetsons]]''.
*Among many other references to the [[Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]] and its ubiquitous safety warnings:
**The picture of a man swinging a remote is a direct sketch of an actual Wii warning screen.
**The various empty and/or remote areas refer to the Wii's warning screen advising to play in an open space.
**The scene with a remote on a table near an open window is modeled after the screen in Wii games that reminds players to take a break.
**The safety device on the remote is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Wii Remote Jacket|Wii Remote Jacket]], designed to increase grip.
*The mention of "fruitèd plains", as well as the red-white-and-blue-striped clouds in the scene, is a reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:America the Beautiful|America the Beautiful]]".
*Strong Bad walking away and getting a Game Over when the player apparently does nothing could be a reference to a similar Easter Egg in [[Wikipedia:Sonic CD|Sonic CD]].

===Fast Forward===
[[Image:Gameplay Footage.png|thumb|"This is the best game I've never played!"]]
*It is later revealed that [[Telltale Games]] and [[The Brothers Chaps]] were both creating [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]], a game to be released as PC and Wii software. "Strong Bad Gameways" can also be viewed at Telltale Games' page for SBCG4AP. The "Actual Gameplay Footage" seen in this video is in fact ''actual'' gameplay footage from that game, except that Game Overs are impossible and there is no score counter in the real game.

'''Page Title:''' All your questions....sort of answered!!

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Previously ''{pronounced "preh-viously"}'' on homestarrunner.com...

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the Field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and finger snapping can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...and that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]], in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black teapot and matching teacups on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...the DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. A statue of Strong Bad wrestling a cougar is sitting by Marzipan's couch; the statue has Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom, already halfway offscreen, bounces away from the cubicle. Homestar shuffles after him, bending over with a downtrodden look.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch, looking sad. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written onscreen, angled and in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. A crowd is heard in the background. Strong Sad has an easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Attention! ''{raises right hand}'' Your attention please!

''{Cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The crowd noises stop. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' After extensive investigation, I'm ready to release ''{raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart}'' my findings. I first spoke with—

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{spoken with a faux [[French]] accent}'' —Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the screen pans left towards the couch. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Something made of glass is just visible behind one of the cushions. Marzipan looks at the footprints. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut to close up of Marzipan inspecting the tube. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. ''{he writes something down}'' Just like in the movies.

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...and ''this'' ''{holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped with a "TAMPERED WITH!" label}'' is all I got back.

''{A scene in Strong Bad's garage scrolls in from the right. Bubs is present.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my—

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS:''' ''{voiceover}'' —toga-yoga class, ''{Bubs takes off his toga}'' when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Marzipan, still wearing her toga, walks onscreen.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this ''{she holds up the test tube}'' DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to the inside of the stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, but it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know—

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{voiceover}'' —Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS:''' Comin' right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to a shelf with four jugs of flavored syrup labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of appropriately-colored liquid, except for the "Green Apple" container, which has a hole near its bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh. Er...

''{Cut to bubs holding an unflavored snowcone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{looks at the snowcone}'' Uh... ''{looks at the DNA evidence}'' Blaaaah...

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' cough, cough... ''{looks back at Strong Bad}'' green apple snowcone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down. He stops and looks up.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You served the DNA in a snowcone?!

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{raising his right arm}'' And it sold like hotcake!

''{A scene in the Smoky Office scrolls up from the bottom of the screen. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk, leaning back in the chair. He is wearing his Dangeresque glasses, and there is a lit cigarette in the ashtray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I bought the DNA snowcone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in front of a window, writing with the pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up, wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{As he says this, Strong Bad leans to the right. Marzipan holds up the tube and talks to Bubs. Strong Bad rubs his hands together with glee and jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to the shelf with the snowcone flavorings. The "Green Apple" beaker is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad appears and punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil before ducking down again. The liquid pours out. Cut to a view from inside the stand; the soft music starts again. Strong Bad pops up from beneath the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs-keep, one green-app' sno'c, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in the office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' By the time I got home, it was all melted...

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing Dangeresque glasses, and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...so I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs ''{Strong Bad puts the glass on the desk and walks offscreen}'' to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You left it on your desk, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{A scene in Marzipan's house scrolls in from the right. Focus on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's the other day. ''{angry expression}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. The vial of DNA evidence is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwah.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I dwah! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to a dripping, green-tinted The Cheat, on the left side of the Lappy.}''

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

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwah-dwah.

''{Cut back to The Cheat, who is wiping himself off with a gross towel.}''

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

''{Cut back to Strong Sad, writing something down.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{A locker room screen scrolls in from the right. Coach Z is there, looking upset.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually...

''{Coach Z pats his chest and puts his hands on his hips. A heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by an heroic sound effect.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ...Damp Towel Man! ''{cups his chin in his hand}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left, wearing a black mask and a towel around his neck like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Moist molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind!

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left, with the towel on it.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains. ''{Pronounces the middle "a" in "lasagna" like the "a" in "at"}''

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner and starts humming. Homestar shuffles by from the right, looking angry and muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by 5:00?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z:''' But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, ''{shakes his fist}'' Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' That I do, my boy, that I do. ''{pats his chin}'' Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, slowly zooming in on some muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his cyorbicle.

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{The same scene in the Smoky Office scrolls up from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So it was ''your'' DNA evidence!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out. Zoom in on Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I was just swiping the change from—

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Bad is wearing the pecan mush-covered boots, has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling money from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube leaps out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in Smoky Office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, I was ''{holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad, who looks angry}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me, ''{Dangeresque music starts}'' the stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade out, then in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls out his "fond reminiscences" box from underneath it; it has the same contents as it did in [[The Secrets That I Keep]], with the notable addition of the DNA evidence test tube. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho.

''{Zoom in on Strong Sad again; the camera is now angled.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho!

''{Zoom in even closer. Strong Sad now has a maniacal expression on his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding up the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Woo-ho-ho-ho!

''{Cut to a long view of the room, revealing that Homsar is standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah-ha-ha-ha! Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record scratch. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homsar.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting waAaAy too tight! ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Damp towel man.PNG|thumb|Dan Towelman is nowhere to be found!]]
*Click on the Z on Coach Z's medallion after he reveals that he's Damp Towel Man to see a Strong Badman comic.
*Click on the Z again in the scene he mentions Dry Ragamuffin to see another Strong Badman comic, starring a character that resembles Bubs.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This cartoon is based on the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence running gag]] that appeared in six straight emails, beginning with [[strong badathlon]].
*"Old maid" is a term used to disparagingly describe an older, unmarried woman.
*"On the rocks" means to pour over ice, usually said when ordering an [[Alcohol|alcoholic]] beverage.
*[[Wikipedia:Ragamuffin|Ragamuffin]] is a term used to describe a child wearing shabby clothing.
*"Costing an arm and a leg" is an idiom used to convey an extremely high price.
*"Selling like [[hotcake]][s]" means to sell very well.

===Trivia===
*The text on the [[Lappy 486]] reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">
Hi. Yeah, go ahead and very safely enter most of your 
credit card numbers onto this Lappy. It will safen it all 
out. 
 
Thanks, 
The Strong Badagement</blockquote>
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#3DFX drivers|3DFX drivers]]".
*The bottle of cleaning fluid on Coach Z's Janitator cart is labelled "DANG!".
*This is Strong Badman's first appearance outside [[Strong Bad Email]]s.
*This is yet another instance of both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad smiling]].

===Remarks===
*In the Marzipan and Homsar scene from [[strong badathlon]], when Marzipan says "...had been tampered with," the whatsit covered The Cheat doesn't appear in the background.
*Strong Sad is able to write in his [[notebook]] without any problems, but in [[rough copy]], he had trouble writing a mere sentence on a single page of the same notebook.
*The puncture that Strong Bad makes is well above the bottom of the green apple bottle, but all the liquid leaks out.
*Homestar's trenchcoat seems to be unaffected by gravity, as it remains stiff and straight even as he bends over.
*Coach Z seems to go over by Strong Bad after Homestar, but if he went up to Strong Bad while he was still using the bar graph (which refers to [[from work]] and [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]]), then he would have to have gone before Homestar.
*In actuality, the DNA evidence was not tampered with, as is said in [[strong badathlon]] and [[unnatural]], as it was stolen.
*When Bubs goes back to get Strong Bad's Green Apple snow cone, the green apple flavoring is the only actual flavor, as the others just say "Blue", "Red", and "Purple".

===Goofs===
*The smoke from the office only wafts in the first few shots before Strong Bad speaks his account of what happened at Bubs' Concession Stand.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this toon was first released, when Marzipan was walking up to Bubs' Concession Stand, she was not wearing her toga. This was fixed less than an hour after the toon was released.
*Originally, in the "Big Toons" section of the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], the description read, "Strong Sad gets to the bottom of all this mess," while the description on the [[New Stuff]] menu omitted the word "all".

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Mountain Dew]].
*Homestar's mispronunciation of DNA and Coach Z's "mild mannered alter-ego" are references to [[Dan]].
**Furthermore, Coach Z's alter-ego's last name is an example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The box Strong Sad pulls the DNA evidence out of in the last scene is from [[The Secrets That I Keep]].
*Strong Bad's glasses, the line "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", and the background music in the respective scenes are from the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] series of films.
*Marzipan's response to the cost of "an arm and a leg" and the way the arm of Homestar's coat moves as he takes a drink are references to their [[lack of visible arms]] and, in her case, [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|legs]].
*Homsar mentions [[pants]].
*Coach Z's janitor cart reads "JANITATOR", similar to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].
*The vacuum cleaner and Coach Z's line about cleaning up lasagna are references to [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*The text on the Lappy implies [[credit card fraud]].
*Homestar seems to think the DNA evidence tasted like [[whatsit]].
*Bubs-keep, Strong Badagement and janitator are [[portmanteaus]].
*Strong Bad says he "was [that] close to finding out if Strong Sad was part [[elephant]]".
*Bubs' saying that the sno-cone sold like "hotcake" is an example of [[singular instead of plural]].
*Strong Bad stealing the change out of Marzipan's couch is a reference to [[loose coins]].
*The flavors of the snow cones at the concession stand are another instance of [[color flavored]] food.
*Homestar describes the glass as "a tall, cool glass", similar to the melonade he mentioned in [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]].



===Real-World References===
*The entire structure of the toon, with a detective interviewing several people when he ultimately is the culprit, is a nod to [[wikipedia:Film noir|film noir]], a style of American film that peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
*The opening titles and ending in which Strong Sad laughs maniacally and appears in a window, on a roof, and behind the cleaning supplies is a direct reference to [[Wikipedia:Killer Bob (Twin_Peaks)|Killer Bob]], mysterious antagonist of [[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]. The character was created because of a happy accident in which crew member [[Wikipedia:Frank Silva|Frank Silva]] was caught in frame during shooting of the pilot, thus explaining the unwieldy positions in which Strong Sad appears.
*The music in the background of the opening sequence is an homage to [[Wikipedia:Angelo Badalamenti|Angelo Badalamenti's]] music for the American television show [[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]].


===Fast Forward===
*The flashback theme is re-used in several scenes in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], usually in scenes that prominently feature [[the King of Town]].

==DVD Version==
*Marzipan wears her toga in her two appearances during the clips of past emails.
*To access the two Strong Badman comics about Damp Towel Man and Dry Ragamuffin, respectively, press the angle button on your DVD remote. They remain on the screen for a large duration of the scene with Strong Sad interrogating Coach Z.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Finally, Matt, we get to find out what's up with this DNA evidence.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It's, uh— this is sort of a first. We... we like to not have a lot of continuity in our cartoons, so they can all sort of be stand-alone. Uh... but, uh, we decided to go ahead and, uh— This started as just a joke, right? As just a one-off joke.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, there was one. And then the second time, the second email, we thought, "Oh, we should say something about the DNA evidence! About how ''he'' tampered with the..." And then we did it five weeks in a row, or five emails in a row.

'''MATT:''' And then—

'''MIKE:''' Decided to use all that, and then base the cartoon around those weird little... snippets.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I think after the third one we started talking about making a cartoon like this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You can tell Melissa's got a cold here. She's a little snotty.

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

'''MATT:''' So, since Strong Sad is the culprit of all this, Mike. Um...

'''MIKE:''' Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert! Matt just told you who the culprit is! Go ahead, go ahead. We're cool, now.

'''MATT:''' Okay. Uh... highlight— this is all spoken in inviso-text, Mike, so you have to highlight it in order to read it.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, right.

'''MATT:''' Uh... so, why is he doing this? Is he just doing it to— to sort of find out who... Oh, 'cause he's trying to find out who got the DNA evidence?

'''MIKE:''' I don't remem— Don't ask me, man!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Did we come up with that side of it?

'''MIKE:''' It was hard enough— ''{laughing}'' It was hard enough trying to connect all that stuff together. If it didn't quite work out, that's... not my fault.

'''MATT:''' Look! Bubs has snow cones again!

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

'''MATT:''' Like from... a long, long time ago. The jumping jack cartoon, maybe. ''{as Strong Sad}'' Were you loose-leafin' it with that piece of make-out? ''{back to his regular voice}'' Oh, it's Dangeresque, Mike! ''{pronounced Dangeresque with a hard G sound}''

'''MIKE:''' Is it really Dangeresque, or is it just Strong Bad with the glasses on?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, or is it just Strong Bad's imagination? ''{pause}'' He would never order something ''that'' cool if he wasn't Dangeresque.

'''MIKE:''' That's true.

'''MATT:''' So he's gotta be makin' that up. ''{pause}'' Some... 3dfx drivers, Mike, on his disk there.

'''MIKE:''' Is that what it was?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. He'd just upgraded to a 3dfx card.

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

'''MATT:''' He can play the original Tomb Raider, maybe. That was the first game I ever played with my 3dfx card. ''{pause}'' This is a, uh... a little first here. Uh...

'''MIKE:''' How so?

'''MATT:''' When Homestar picks up this glass and you actually see his—

'''MIKE:''' Evidence that his arms are invisible.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' And not that he's telekinetic.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That he actually has arms, but they're invisible. ''{pause}'' I love that "gross towel" immediately equals Coach Z.

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's previous line}'' Instantly means Coach Z. ''{pause}'' That towel— Coach Z and gross towels— it's been a pretty recent— in the last year or so, there's been a few references to—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —towels hasn't there?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And Coach Z?

'''MATT:''' I don't know if I want to watch The Adventures of Damp Towel Man.

'''MIKE:''' I like his catch phrase!

'''MATT:''' His catch phrase is pretty great. ''{pause}'' Um... DANG! Look at that cleaner!

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

'''MATT:''' That's a great cleaner. ''{pause}'' That was, uh... I was trying to think of— There's some rap song, and I don't even remember what it is, but it was like, "We large like them elephants! We ain't leavin' no eviDENCE!" So...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' "...no eviDENCE!"

'''MATT:''' That's what Homestar was talkin' about. ''{pause}'' Uh... it helped, making this cartoon, that I had just been— I had just rewatched the original, season one and two of Twin Peaks. The theme song is very heavily Twin Peaks, uh... influenced, I think.

'''MIKE:''' We just got to see Strong Bad's boots off his feet.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That's another first.

'''MATT:''' Though I think— I feel like this DNA evidence cartoon is actually— makes a little more sense and ties things up a little more neatly than Twin Peaks did.

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's last line, laughing}'' ...than Twin Peaks!

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Sad}'' Boo! I don't like food anymore! ''{back to his regular voice}'' Where is this office, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, it's— That is— It's upstairs... uh, above... Bubs's I think.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Really? There's an upstairs... apartment above Bubs's? ''{pause}'' Smiley Strong Sad. Maniacal-laughing Strong Sad, also. These are all rare— rare occurrences.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Strong Sad was there, in all these places... watching.

'''MATT:''' He's not very careful, Mike. He forgot that someone was standing one foot away from him. ''{pause}'' Ooh.

'''MIKE:''' Uh oh.

'''MATT:''' Homsar... wins.

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

===Fun Facts===
*Matt's line about "looseleafin' it with that piece of make-out" refers to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], where Strong Sad asks "Were you first-basin' it with that piece of looseleaf?"
*Matt refers to Strong Sad's "I don't like food anymore" line said in [[2 years]].
*Matt's comment about "inviso-text" refers to a policy on many internet forums where information that spoils the ending of a movie, tv show, or video game can be formatted in a highlight the same color as the font, meaning in order to read it, users have to manually select the text with their mouse.
*Matt talks about [[Wikipedia:Tomb Raider|Tomb Raider]], a video game series focusing around the main character, Lara Croft, and her work as a treasure seeking archaeologist, in the same vein as Indiana Jones.
* The rap song Matt is referring to is "Can't Stop No Playa" by Da Organization.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email, and away from the doors.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: a sticky question...</div>
Dear Strong bad, 
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the 
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and 
making rendezvous? 
 
Luke, Eau Claire, WI</blockquote>

''{he tries to pronounce the plural of 'rendezvous' as '[[Foreign Words|rendezvouuuu-ses]]?', and the bottom line as 'Luke— eww...Claire...why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button, too?

''{cut to a young Strong Bad's birthday; a sign reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome! ''{he revs the drill}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Cut to Original Book style. Señor and Mr. Bland stand in flat greenness, and Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{a red Stand falls on them with a splurt!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' said Bubs.

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity  about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on the screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! Er, ''{deletes up to the 'p'}'' plague!

''{cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And bread is a good time for me, woo-doo-doo-loot-doo, singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals to the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, is swinging a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

''{At this point, Homestar's face has a red chain mark from being hit}''

''{Strong Bad claps; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SUCH GRACE!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marzipan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some neva-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spraypainting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{cut to Marzipan standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head, at night; a wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to Chhh-Homsar... aaand left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' AAAaaaAAh'm the human wedgie! ''{His hat falls and lands on Marzipan's dress}''

''{Homestar marches in, holding a loaf of bread}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' ... don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. ''{Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs's—

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat behind Bubs' Concession Stand with the muffler and pipe, and a crown with 'On Point' spraypainted on the wall}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We di'n't take no guff from nobody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephanté?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts at powering of drill}'' Waah! No sir! Heck no at all! ''{runs away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws drill away}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a nail file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

''{The King of Town walks in with a blue dunce cap on}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{nods his hat}'' Doink, doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. ''{a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (though only one 'd' is typed)}'' D-don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:BreadSingalongs.png|thumb|125px|"Pumpernickel and rye."]]
* After Strong Bad says "eww... Claire... why???" click on "Eau Claire, WI" to view [[Leomard Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly Sportsinterviews]]'s book ''[[Books by Sportsinterviewses#Ewww, Claire!! Why???|Ewww, Claire!! Why???]]''
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (barring [[Modestly Hot Homsar]]). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on one's point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*This is the first time Señor's full name (Señor Havin' A Little Trouble) is revealed on the website (though it had been mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[flashback]]).
*Even though in the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the sign above the window reads "STAND", during the first appearance of said concession stand ([[Where My Hat Is At?]]), the sign reads "CANDY".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has trouble with the [[Foreign words|pronunciation]] of the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'', which is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*"Eau Claire" means "Clear Water" in French; the correct pronunciation of "eau" is "oh".
*In the Bread Sing-Alongs CD, the picture of Homestar blinks. This is due to his Flash "movie clip" symbol, which makes him blink automatically in a looped animation.
*The "Come on and Sing" sign was not in the animation the first few days. It was added sometime after a week.
*Strong Bad misspells "curiosity" as "curiousity."
*Strong Mad seems noticeably shorter than usual.
*The electric drill makes a sound effect very much like that of a pneumatic impact wrench or drill, rather than an electric drill.
*In the first flashback, the trigger to the drill depresses even though Strong Bad's "finger" isn't long enough to reach it.
*The spelling of "steak" given in this email would more normally be pronounced "state-k"
*Strong Bad uses a nail file even though he [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Fingers|lacks visible fingers]].
*When Strong Bad is spray painting Marzipan, and when he's hanging out behind Bubs's, his pants are a slightly different shade than normal.
*When The Cheat chainwhips Homestar, the whip appears behind the piece of bread he eventually picks up.

===Inside References===
*[[The smashed muffler]] first appeared in [[no loafing]].
*[[Homestar Runner Peeking|Homestar peeking]] out behind the bread concealing his eyes at the end of his first bread sing-along song is a long-time running joke that whenever his eyes are concealed or closed, he has to move them so he can see the viewer. Other examples are [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[A Holiday Greeting]], and [[Cool Things]].
* Strong Bad was last "On Point" in the "[[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]]," which is the game from the email [[date]].
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and [[Tompkins]] wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]. Also, Little Strong Bad's voice is very similar to that of Tompkins.
*The electric drill [[sound effect]] was last heard in [[privileges]] as The Cheat earned a new rewards point.
*The full name "Señor Havin' a Little Trouble" comes from the [[Original Book]]. In the picture where Señor is being squished under the weight of the grapes, the image's alternate text is "havin a little trouble".
*This is another appearance of [[bread]].
===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is a reference to HAL, the automated voice used in [[Wikipedia:Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport|Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport]]'s [[Wikipedia:The Plane Train|people movers]] prior to an upgrade for the [[Wikipedia:1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Olympics]]. The original voice said, in a computer-generated voice, "This vehicle is leaving the station. Please hold on. The next stop is Concourse (A/B/C/D). The color coded maps and signs in the vehicle match the station colors. Please move to the center of the vehicle and away from the doors." [http://www.gregburrus.com/atlanta/Atlanta_shuttle_robot_voice.mp3]
*When Señor and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author of novels for children and young adults.
*The name "[[On Point Kings]]" and the crown graffiti are references to the [[Wikipedia:Latin Kings|Latin Kings]], a famous street gang that originated in Chicago. Since members of the Latin Kings are traditionally Hispanic, this is in keeping with Strong Bad's vaguely Mexican heritage.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among travelling artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is /mol-ǝ-'''skeen'''-ǝ/.
*"Harry Elephante" is a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]].
*"Van Peebles" is a reference to the filmmakers [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]] (known for ''[[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]]'') and his son [[Wikipedia:Mario Van Peebles|Mario Van Peebles]].
*Strong Bad's line "that's some never-forgive action right there" is a direct quote from Min One in the graffiti documentary [[Wikipedia:Style Wars|Style Wars]].
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the '80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]], whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."
*The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing is a reference to the sport [[Wikipedia:Rhythmic gymnastics|rhythmic gymnastics]].

===Fast Forward===

*In [[secret identity]], there is another book similar to ''Ewww, Claire!! Why???'' in an Easter Egg entitled ''Laramie, Why?''
*Homestar revisits his bread fixation in [[disconnected]].
*The [[On Point Kings]] reappeared in [[more armies]].
*Strong Bad types "bread sing-alongs" in a green, animated font. He does this again in [[rough copy]] with "flavored water".
*Strong Bad spray painted a Marzipan poster in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].

Octan: /**/F-Sack a reference to "Fsteak"?

==Homestar's Asymmetrical Eyebrow (Eyelid?) Face==
Do you think it's worth mentioning in the article that this is the first time we've seen that face that Homestar makes by squinting with one eye and raising the brow of the other? It seemed interesting to me, and they used it a lot in this cartoon. --[[User:MenacingBanjo|MenacingBanjo]] 11:04, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
:I noticed the same. I see no reason not to mention it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:31, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
::Nobody seemed to mention it, so I took the liberty of doing it myself. [[User:YoghNess|YoghNess]] 20:17, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
:::Does anyone else find that face disturbing, especially compared to the lower-eyelids-up expression he used to have for similar circumstances? --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 02:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

== This to a trope? ==

I had a feeling that "Head for the hills" appeared to act similar to [[TVTropes:YouCanRunButYouCantHide|this trope]]. [[Special:Contributions/166.216.165.46|166.216.165.46]] 01:19, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
:You can't spell "YouCanRunButYouCan'''no'''tHide", "para'''no'''ia", and "'''no''', this isn't really a useful fun fact regardless of how true it is" without '''no'''. I don't think the wiki is trying to delve into any sort of deep literary analysis. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 02:51, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
::Similar in what way? That they're both cliches? I'm with Purpy here, not worth mentioning. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 08:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
:::I agree with everyone else. [[Special:Contributions/98.159.29.164|98.159.29.164]] 01:05, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

== Summerween ==

Are you sure that Homestar said 'summer even' instead of 'Summerween'?
Come to think of it, could Summerween be their version of summer break? I mean, they do call Christmas Decemberween. [[Special:Contributions/98.159.29.164|98.159.29.164]] 01:02, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
:No, it's distinctly "summer even". Also, when Homestar says "Decemberween", he stresses "de-CEM-ber-WEEN". Here, he only stressed "SUM-mer-e-ven". It doesn't matter since the audio is too clear to question, but it's good to take note of that anyway.
:Now, on Halloween they certainly aren't taking a break from their normal activities. Strong Bad checks his email ([[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]]) and Bubs sells concessions (almost every Halloween). Decemberween is the same deal (Marzipan even goes to [[Homestar Presents: Presents|free baby seals]] at the <del>Worfs</del> wharfs ''that day''). And they have had "summer break" before, but it's been under different names, like "[[Somber Vacation]]" and plenty of "vacations" that [[Weclome|have no]] [[vacation|other name]]. So unless they actually say "Summerween", this isn't a thing.
:But of course, with my luck, they ''will'' say it in the next toon. Grumble grumble time machine broken grumble grumble...--{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 05:32, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
==b/w==
Is this the first time 'backed with' has been said aloud on the site? It's nearly always written only. --[[Special:Contributions/98.194.172.173|98.194.172.173]] 18:38, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
:I think so. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 19:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
::That said, i'm not sure it's worth a mention on this page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:07, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

==Walking a couple of feet==

Homestar says he has never walked a couple of feet to be sure that the field was lined with bushes, but he built a deck around the bushes in [[No Hands On Deck!]] Is this (a) notable (b) digging way too deep to try to find a counter-example (c) a coincidence that I just happened to notice (d) all of the above? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:18, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
:I would say answer choice (d). It sounds good enough for a remark; it might also be an [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner Universe|inconsistency]] possibly? - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 21:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
::He could build around them without knowing what they are... He seemed to just be building around [[Strong Mad|everything]] [[Cardboard Marzipan|in his path]]. As such, it's interesting to discuss here, but hardly worth an official mention. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:39, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

== F-Sack a reference to "Fsteak"? ==

I only recently learned about this one; it was from the a webcomic called "Hiimdaisy" (and more recently referenced in ''Undertale''). When I watched this again today, it was the first thing that came to mind. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 05:40, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Two More Eggs

2016-07-22T05:19:49Z

Octan:

[[File:DooblieDoo.png|thumb|250px|"Dooble, and dooble, and dooblie doo!"]]
'''''Two More Eggs''''' is a mini-series of shorts produced by [[The Brothers Chaps]] for [[Disney]] [[Wikipedia:Disney XD|XD]]'s [[YouTube]] channel under the production company Citywide Hoop Champs Inc..

The series debuted on June 23, 2015 with the release of the first three episodes, a trailer, an official press release, and coverage on multiple media outlets. It was announced that each new episode would be released on Tuesday of every week. Mostly being over a minute long, each episode centers on an individual character (e.g. "Dooble" or "Hot Dip") or a group of characters (e.g. "CGI Palz" or "Hector & Kovitch" or "Trauncles") and has no overarching plot or complexity. [[Matt Chapman]] claims that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] worked with Disney with the same autonomy as with ''[[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]''.

On March 4, 2016, it was announced that Two More Eggs was renewed for a second season, which premiered June 13, 2016.

==Footnotes==
#This short was released prematurely as a 'first look' on September 20 (the upload date listed was sometime in August), then unlisted and re-released two days later.
#This variant of the short includes the character "Terrifying Diaper" interrupting Hector and Kovitch during their conversation. (The US version instead features Kovitch attempting to spell with his eyes closed.)
#This short was released one day late; most likely due to the announcement of the 24-hour marathon of Two More Eggs on Disney XD.
#This short was released one day early.
#This short was "released" for the Huffington Post on December 22, 2015 as [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-hill/what-would-walt-have-thou_b_8862654.html a first look.]
#This promo was uploaded alongside the launch of the series on Disney XD's public relations account. All videos on that account, including this one, are currently unlisted.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On December 22, 2015 at 12:00am ET/PT, Disney XD aired a 27-hour marathon of all of ''Two More Eggs'' season one on repeat, with eleven of them debuting during the marathon.
*In [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] say that "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" wasn't actually the first Dooble cartoon they made. His name wasn't Dooble, and when he sang the song in "Dooble: The Driver", they made the song into its own cartoon.
**This implies that the shorts were released out of order.
**[[Matt Chapman]] mentions The Joshow Show in the same interview, before the short was released, saying it was about "a down-on-his-luck dad trying to do [[YouTube]] videos". He says it's their "first foray into [[live action]]".

====Dubbed Versions====
French: ''Quoi 2 n'œufs ?''
*Despite having the exact same dialogue, "Dooble: Dooblie Doo" is given a French dub.
*The phrase "Not 4 Momz" is essentially translated to "Not for Adults".
*"Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game" is based on the US version.
*In "Dooble: Newscarsting", Meredith is silent.
*In the English version of "Hot Dip: Sitcom", Brianca's dialogue at the end is subtitled. However, the French dub blurs the text out rather than adding the translated subtitles used for other visual gags.

Greek: ''Δύο Αυγά Μάτια''
*The titles of the episodes remain in English. Interestingly, "Dooble: Newscarsting" has been correctly spelled as "Newscasting", and "Trauncles: Not Done" is lowercased to "Not done".
*The Greek dub of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD1XpZW2mPU "Hector & Kovitch: Buy This Game"] uses the video from the US version, but the audio is translated from the UK version.

===General Similarities===
*The [[sound effects]], voices, and animation style are similar to those of Homestar Runner.
*"Halosche" is an example of an [[unusual greeting]], similar to "[[alternate universe|hellote]]" and "[[Peasant's Quest|haldo]]".
*Hot Dip sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]] with a deeper voice.
*The CGI animation in "CGI Palz" was likely created using the same software used to create the [[Lappier]] logo and the CGI [[The Paper]] from [[sbemail206]].
*The Lenore Street Bridge's name sometimes has an [[integral article]].
*Arlington's voice is similar to [[Rumble Red]]'s.
*The [[Generic Announcers|announcer]] in the TV show theme songs is the same voice who says "Tuesdays at 8:30" in the [[Easter egg]] from [[underlings]].
*One of the Eggpos sounds like [[Chorch]] from [[8-Bit is Enough]], who is also a talking video game enemy. The other Eggpo has a voice and accent vaguely similar to [[The Homestar Runner]].
*Eggpo cartoons often contain instances of [[angled pixels]].
*Hector's voice sounds similar to [[Homestar Runner]]'s.
*The spelling of "Bad Snaxx" might be a reference to (or might have influenced) "[[The Cheat]]'s phat [[The Cheat's Keyboard|Casio]] '''staxx'''" from a [[@StrongBadActual]] Tweet on August 20, 2015.
*Joshow's accent is very similar to [[Coach Z]]'s.
*Cheeby's voice is nearly identical to [[Humidibot]]'s, who debuted in [[Fan Costumes 2015]].
*When speaking, Francis Sweetmouth is voiced by [[Mike Chapman]].
*The music in the Poach & Scramble shorts is [[The Brothers Chaps singing]] (similar to [[Original Bubs]]'s walking sound.)
*The restaurant table in the Poach & Scramble shorts is the same one used to shoot the hamburger scene in [[Sbemailiarized!]].

===Homestar Runner References===
*The name "Two More Eggs" derives from two [[Strong Bad Email]]s.
**One of the ingredients of [[Strong Bad's EGGS]] in [[morning routine]] is "two more eggs".
**There is a [[Sticky Note|note]] in the email [[pop-up]] that reads "2 more eggs".
