Tjsynkral: /* "Okay" */

== "Okay" ==

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that [[The Cheat]] has actually said a word... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:Or is it? Are they just The Cheat noises? hmmm...{{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::They're still The Cheat noises. Distinctive, but The Cheat noises nonetheless. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::I think this one's pretty clearly unambiguous. Just to mess with people. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::It definitely sounds like a very clear (for [[cheat talk]] anyway) "Okay!" to me. ''Much'' more intelligible than all the other times people have claimed to hear actual words in The Cheat noises, at any rate. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 04:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::I have no question in my mind at all that this is "OK", not just The Cheat noises. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::Let's STUFF'it! {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 04:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Don't think we need to STUFF it... It's also not a fun fact. I believe that it's probably "OK", but it's still a guess. And if we allow this, then we'll have to revisit other toons as well. Where would we draw the line?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Yeah, I agree with Loafing. Should we remove it, or do we have to have a holy-crap-long debate about it in the STUFFlands? -[[User:J2|J2]]
:::::::::STUFFlands isn't what Loafing said. Loafing said Herelands. Anyway, The Cheat does say "okay", and it's probably just to play with the fans, as Dorian said (more or less). It's a sticky topic if we want to make an exception to The-Cheat-language transcription rule, and I'm going back and forth on this one. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::I don't think this is comparable to previous situations at all. The Cheat here does something ''completely'' out of the ordinary. In general, his vowels are always variants on "eh" or "er", but here he makes a clear "O" sound. Likewise, for his second syllable, he uses a "k" consonant, which is not in the Cheat's normal phonology either. I think it's quite clear that TBC meant this one to be unambiguous. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::I disagree. I think it's still just The Cheat in his own language. Just because we think he said that does not make it so. Also, notice the angry black squiggle. That's hardly a mood where The Cheat would offer a compliant "OK". I'd suggest the real translation could not appear on a family website. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::I agree with Qermaq --[[User:70.28.112.174|70.28.112.174]] 10:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::I actually hear a "t" sound, not a "k". I think it could mean "OK" just because "OK" would be an appropriate answer. I also don't believe that TBC worry too much whether we can understand The Cheat or not. They don't have to document it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::I agree. The Cheat was MEANT to obviously sound like he said a real word for the first time. I think it's worth mentioning that.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 05:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
This isn't the first time it's happened. He's said things clearly like this before. This isn't notable on the page as it's still pretty much The Cheat talk. It freaked me out though. {{User:Salty/sig}} 12:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Well... after listening to it a couple of times, it's definitely still in The Cheat. I can hear a distinct "k" sound in there, but everything else is standard squeakyness. So it's The Cheat talk, just more distinct than previously.

Do you think he's going to speak some sort of english in later toons? [[User:Cyberdemon|Cyberdemon]] 20:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:Hey, wait, has The Cheat ever spoken with his mouth open? I think everything he says is some type of humming sound. {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Nonsense! It's clearly CheatSpeak for "F*** You." --[[User:Tjsynkral|Tjsynkral]] 23:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== Interesting coincidence... or ''did'' I?? ==

This was removed from the article's fun facts, but I think it merits mention somewhere.

*The Chalkboard says "SOY IS MURDER" which is odd, given that she has been previously established as a [[Wikipedia:Vegetarian|vegetarian]]. This may be explained by Strong Bad's message in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]] where he tells Marzipan that tofu (a soy product) is really made of baby seals.

{{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:I think the first part does not make sense. The second sentence might be OK to include. (The board says that soy is "ALSO" murder, btw.){{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::The first part neglects to mention that it says "TOO". As in, "Meat is murder, but soy is murder as well". The second part came to mind instantly for me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I've readded, editing the beginning part considerably. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::I would prefer a more neutral statement, like "Strong Bad has previously said that tofu (a soy product) is really made of baby seals."{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::I agree, as I don't think it really was a reference to Marzipan's Answering Machine. I think it's just Marzipan going overboard with her "hippiness" (e.g., the chinchilla protest actually being a protest to get them out of her basement).--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 09:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::: Baby seals is one possibility. The other is that "killing plants is no better than killing animals." Remember, she sings to vegetables, she had a seance for her plant, and made her veggie burger into homestar junior. Maybe the lesson was that plants are just as important.
::::::: and don't forget about when she decided not to cut the pumpkin off the vine. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::::::I think this is the perfect time to use [[STUFF]]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 19:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::It's related to her desire not to kill ''anything'', not to the answering machine message. Basically, it's just a joke. Her line "So that way, you always feel guilty" illustrates this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
It's just a joke. It's like the guy on the Simpsons who said "I'm a fourth level vegan; I don't eat anything that casts a shadow." [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 22:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== Pressed Bunson? ==

Strong Bad raises a good point: What the crap is "pressed bunson"? The Google, it does nothing. Is this a reference to something (real-world or otherwise), or is this just another bit of standard-issue H*R nonsense? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 07:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:If anything, it's just nonsense. No search on Google, Yahoo! or the Wikipedia turned up anything. Noted in the article. Possibly an inside joke just between the Bros. Chaps. [[User:WaveOBabies|WaveOBabies]] 11:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::My guess is they just want to mess with the wiki community and its over-obsessed fans. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 09:49, 23 Oct 2006 (PDT)
:::This is the second topic on this page where someone suggests that TBC just want to mess with the wiki. I can't believe that they would think about the wiki at all while they simply do what they like. In this case, they just made up a funny word. That's all.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== We just call it blue ==

I can't remember exactly which style of art it refers to, but one of the traditional art forms, like those of the Australian Aboriginees or Native American Indians, uses black where there should be blue due to lack of natural blue pigments. I'd put it on the page but it's probably better that someone finds the type of art first... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ZanderSchubert ZanderSchubert] 07:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:Most likely, black being called blue is a parody of racial things in Kindergarten and small school. --[[User:71.80.201.61|71.80.201.61]] 23:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::Your comment is nonsensical. As a former teacher of kindergarteners, I can aver that they don't get the race differences for the large part. There are no racial things in Kindergarten. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Kindergarten? ==

Doesn't the fact that Missy P had a baby link in with the kindergarten thing? I don't know, it was just a thought.
:Babies don't go to kindergarten. {{User:Salty/sig}} 12:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Hey, -man ==

Santaman, Santaman again, Monsterman, Teacherman... is it time to give [[-man]] its own page under [[Running Gags]] yet? [[User:Octan|Octan]] 13:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

:If you're going to do that, establish a very strong initial edit; make the first edit as if you won't edit the article again. Most running gag pages will be put up for deletion if the article does not appear strong. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 14:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

::And don't forget [[Marzipan|Marzi]]man. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::And [[Stinkoman]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::I don't think Stinkoman counts. That's clearly pronounced Stinko *Man*. The others are pronounced faster, resulting in it sounding like "min", which is the joke here. -{{User:YK/sig}} 20:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::And the ever-present [[Wrestleman]]. {{User:Laramie/Sig}} 13:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

:This just sounds like "This and that" (Or whatever it's called). This is simply part of how homestar talks funny personaly.

::"This, that, and the other thing" (TTATOT), and point. It's always limited to Homestar, so it should be included, if anywhere, on his page. -{{User:YK/sig}} 20:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::...Then wouldn't [[:Category:Homestar Runner running gags|these]], too? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::::Hum. Point taken. I didn't even know that catagory existed. Sorry. I've been away for the last couple months, so I guess I've missed stuff. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::Don't worry, we still love you. <3 —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Animas or Animals? ==

The fun facts, as well as this [[:Image:Homestar reportcard.png|image]], say that one of the subjects on Homestar's reportcard is "talking to animas". But when I watch it, it says "animals". What's going on? — [[User:Lappynapped|Lappynapped]] 15:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I also notice that the fun facts say "blossom" is misspelled as "blossum", but it looks ok to me. Were these mistakes that have since been fixed? — [[User:Lappynapped|Lappynapped]] 15:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:They both seem to have been fixed now. I watched it last night, and it said "blossum" (not sure about the animal/animas thing though). {{User:Saturn/sig}} 16:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::Well, clearly the [[:Image:Homestar reportcard.png|image on the page]] is the original release. Shortly after, they put the "l" back in "animal" [[:Image:Homestar reportcard 2.png|(from a file cached on my computer)]]. Then after that, they corrected "blossom" [[:Image:Homestar reportcard 3.png|(from the current file)]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:::I fixed the image.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 18:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Vulgar... ==

So, should we link to [[Swears]]? --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 20:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:Not really a swear, but it is vulgar. Like "crap" is vulgar too. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Tight Pants? ==

Oh, you all knew this was coming, right? Well, just to be the first to throw it out there, do you think that the purple crayon is a reference to Homestar's Daisy Dukes from [[long pants]]? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 21:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

"ballade purple" is a reference to megaman, unless ballades are naturally purple.--[[User:150.243.207.238|150.243.207.238]] 21:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
:"Oh, I definitely say it's just a result of tight pants."
:"Oooohh, tight paaants!"
:"Sorry about that. What were we talking about?"
:"The tightest of pants."
:"Oh, right, right. Tight pants."
:"Once again, I point the blame squarely at tight pants."
:That was the exchange that immediately crossed my mind. Obviously it has a whole lot more to do with tight pants than creepy pants (which all the time get some... light globes).--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 22:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
::'''Edit Conflict!''' Tight Pants...has a page, doesn't it? This is most certainly a reference, if I do say so myself. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 22:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

== Of Age Ladies & Canada ==

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

I believe this is a reference to Canada's recent crusade against all forms of child pronography.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolicon#Legal_status_in_Canada

:I seriously doubt the Chaps know slash care about this whole thing with the Canada and the children and the misplaced R's... [[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 02:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

::TBC won't be referncing Canadian stuff. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
:::How do ''you'' know? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 03:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
::::It's theoretically possible, of course, but I think it's pretty huge stretch. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== graduate ==

I went ahead and edited the article about the cheat and grills but I don't feel I worded it well... Anyway I think it's ironic how many times we see Homestar wearing a grduate's cap only to find out that he's in preschool (possible reference?) [[User:Andrew911|Andrew911]] 00:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== Fun fact? ==

Should [[Wikipedia:Cumin|Cumin]] be added to fun facts? I'm not so sure it's noteworthy. (It was in Homestar's report card.) {{User:Steve/sig}} 01:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
:I think cumin is already a pretty well-known spice. Uh, it is a spice, right? {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== nuturing your inner-Life Blossom ==

Does anyone else think that it is odd that the crayons don't write as to not let any life blossom shine above the rest and yet they get report cards with psuedo-grades on them? Noteworthy? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 14:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
:But we don't know that Strong Mad and Homsar's grades are any different from Homestar's. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
::Of course, that too would be rather, umm, interesting, if the just gave everyone the same grades to keep everyone equal. I can just hear Marzipan saying, "Oh, everyone gets roots and grass! That way, no one Life Blossom shines more than any other. Plus, the roots and grass are made of pressed bunson, so they double as a healthy snack!" {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== The messed-up nature of the school ==

Here's something that I think might belong in the remarks section.

This toon continues inconsistency that is present in the H*R cartoons about school. In senior prom, Homestar and Marzipan are at their senior prom. However, in this toon, Marzipan is a teacher while Homestar is a kindergarden student.

Should this be added? --[[User:Paczjj15|Paczjj15]] 16:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
:And in [[high school]] Coach Z was a baby (the same as the rest) but in [[stand-up]] he was older than SB. I don't think TBC try too hard for absolute consistency, just whatever is funny. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
::high school is Strong Bad's unphotographic memory.--[[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]]

The King of Town (toon)

[[Image:KoT People.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Homestar explains it to everybody]]

{{about|DVD toon}} {{for|main [[Characters|character]]|The King of Town}}

'''The King of Town DVD''' is a DVD-style update of an older King of Town cartoon. It includes commentary by [[Strong Bad]], storyboards and the old version. In the toon, the King of Town sends Homestar and Pom Pom to investigate the whereabouts of his sheep.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The King of Town}}, [[The King of Town's Sheep]], [[The Sheep-Eating Dragon]], {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, [[The Blacksmith]], {{Film|The Poopsmith}}, [[The Little Chef Guy]], [[The Bishop]], {{Film|The Knight}}, {{Film|The Hornblower}}

'''Places:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]

'''Date:''' 2000

== Easter Eggs ==
*On the main DVD page, click on the mustache on the shield. After it moves aside, click on the brick that was under it to see the [[King of Town Intro]] and [[King of Town Main Page|Main Page]] that was used for April 1, 2003.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*The colors of the King of Town's crown are reversed compared to his crown's color scheme in all of his subsequent appearances.
=== Remarks ===
[[Image:KoT's Mouth.PNG|thumb|KoT's mouth]]
*In the commentary, Strong Bad says Homestar never graduated from anything in his life. The position of his tassel, over the right eye, traditionally signifies that a person has not received a degree (yet).
*In the commentary, Strong Bad saying that Homestar probably can't read is incorrect, for Homestar shows his reading and writing skills in several places, including [[credit card]], [[anything]] and [[50 emails]]. Homestar's literacy is also tested in [[Arcade Game]] and [[Cool Things]].
*In the Olde version, we actually see the King of Town's mouth under the moustache when he belches.
*The storyboards depict the Poopsmith having a speaking part. Apparently, he was originally going to respond to Homestar's question with a simple "Nope". It also shows the second P in Poopsmith crossed out and replaced with an H, indicating that the Brothers Chaps may have initially renamed him the "Poohsmith", but this name isn't used anywhere else, suggesting the consideration to rename the character "Poohsmith" was abandoned altogether.

=== Inside References ===
*[[The Hornblower]] plays the [[Theme Song Video|Homestar Runner Theme Song]] on the horn to call Homestar.
*The King of Town's [[Answering Machine|answering machine]] is the same type that [[Marzipan]] uses in the first eight installments of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The DVD menu theme is reminiscent of the theme from the [[Wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]] games.

Three images of Larry playing guitar appear, which meld into one of him leaping into a power chord. The words "BRAIN SISTER" rise from the bottom as Larry jumps offscreen. A calculator displaying 3.14 appears, and an outline of Texas draws itself around it. Several images of a brain, Larry(?), guitars, and the ZEEN part of the logo flash past in front of a crowd, until Larry zooms forward, surrounded by stars and playing guitar. More images of Larry's head flash in front of the crowd, as the lasers start again. The calculator flashes by, and the legs walk out, with a brain perched on top of them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom. ''{gesturing with bottle}'' You and me, we're like two breads in a biscuit. ''{pokes the bottle in Pom Pom's face}'' Two breads in a biscuit! I'm gonna make a T-shirt! ''{leans in close}'' No, wait! You and me? ''{crouches to look at peanuts}'' We're like this bowl of mayonnaise here. ''{points at Pom Pom with the bottle}'' You're the bowl, coz you're a big, round, fat guy. ''{Pom Pom looks angry. Homestar sits up again, now pointing at self}'' And I'm the mayonnaise, coz I'm smart as peanuts. That'll make a good T-shirt too. Oop, no, wait! Before you strangle me again... You and me? ''{pulls the napkin out from under his bottle}'' Soggy napkins.

*:''{The very, very little girl is swinging and Homestar is standing next to the baby.}''

*:''{silence}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got no material with this kid. Say something cute. Talk about picking your nose. You seem like a smart kid. You wanna go out some time?
*:''{drums play. Still silence.}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got no interest in the crazy man over here, do you?

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Sings missing title.png|thumb|right|220px|Hidden title]]
===Trivia===
*The photos used for the background of the CD/Cassette/8-track cover have "[[Wikipedia:Corbis|corbis.com]]" in the bottom left corner of them. (It's most noticeable on the 8-Tracks: just zoom in.)
*In older versions of the Flash, the phone number at the end was 1-800-BAD-SONG. That was changed because it turned out that was a real number for a Limousine service in the New York area.
*There is another title in the song list that was never shown in the toon. It's called "Keep On Keepin' It On (I Am So Awesome)". A screen capture is shown.
*[[Mike Chapman]] is the voice of Announcer 2.
*At the end, the commentator says to call 1-800-428-64 tooty-two. This phone number actually belongs to Tank Technologies and Supply in Rogers, MN, assuming tooty-two is 22.
*Three records (LPs) would equal 135 minutes of music (2 hours, 15 minutes).
*Seven CDs worth of songs would equal, at most, 560 minutes of music (9 hours, 10 minutes).
*Twelve cassette tapes would equal 1080 minutes of music (18 hours).
*Thirty 8-track tapes would equal up to 1200 minutes of music (20 hours).

===Remarks===
*Strong Mad's eyebrows are gray for this cartoon.
*The phone number at the end is 13 digits long. Standard phone numbers in the United States include only 10 digits, however, additional letters are often added in commercials for the value of having the phone number spell a word.

===Inside References===
*The song "Who is the Guy That Wins All the Contests?" is a reference to the song Strong Bad sings to himself in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*This is the first appearance of [[Tooty-two]].

===Fast Forward===
*Many of these songs are remade and featured on the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].

== DVD Version ==
*The song The Cheat plays is changed to "Hot Cross Buns".
*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]])
[[Image:Fat Bluebird.PNG|thumb|On the wiki?]]
'''MATT:''' Oh, that Fat Bluebird.

'''MIKE:''' It's the re— it's one of my favorite characters. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' I wonder is the Fat Bluebird on the wiki?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Look at Strong Bad's mouth and his mask. It's before he had the highlights on his eyes—

'''MATT:''' What about that great background we're using there?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I think I may have bought that as clip art.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' How legitimate of you, for as early on as this was.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. It was like five bucks, maybe. Strong Bad's mouth gets a lot, uh, wider no— back then than it does now.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and taller. It pretty much goes from stem to stern.

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

'''MATT:''' Uh, so a lot of— some of these songs we ended up making on the CD. The Strong Bad Sings CD. Now that back—

'''MIKE:''' ''{cracking up while speaking}'' That background I did not pay for!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' You didn't pay two cents for that one!

'''MIKE:''' I didn't try very hard, either!

'''MATT:''' I always enjoyed this part, though. I thought you did a good job. I was amazed that we could fit that many symbols on the screen at the s— at one time. I didn't think that was possible.

'''MIKE:''' ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MATT:''' So, here's the old announcer; he's still around. So don't, you guys, don't tell them about it; we had to change this so—

'''MIKE:''' Hot Cross Buns!

'''MATT:''' The Happy— the Happy B-day people—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, sings}'' Hot Cross Buns! ''{alone, speaking}'' Those Nazis! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{cracking up while speaking}'' —didn't come and make us pay them eight cents!

'''MIKE:''' The Hot Cross Buns people are totally cool. ''{laughs}'' That's my first appearance on the website, vocally.

'''MATT:''' That's true.

'''BOTH:''' It used to be 1-800-BAD-SONG—

'''MIKE:''' —and it was a real number.

'''MATT:''' It was, like, a limo driver in Brooklyn, or something, I think!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, somebody, and he would send us angry emails about people calling that number.

===Fun Facts===
*"[[Wikipedia:Happy Birthday to You|Happy Birthday to You]]" is in fact a [[Wikipedia:Happy_Birthday_to_You#Copyright_issues_and_public_performances|copyrighted]] song, which explains The Brothers Chaps' remark about having to change the song The Cheat plays to "Hot Cross Buns".
*At the time of [[Everything Else, Volume 1]]'s release, the Fat Bluebird was not mentioned specifically on the wiki. On the first day the disc was available, the bluebird was listed in the cast at the top of this page in response to the commentary above, and then not long after that it got its own screenshot and article.

Strong Bad refuses to check his [[alternate universe|150th email]]. Strong Sad tries to help.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Female Lappy 486]], {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}} (Drawing), {{Film|Homestar Runner}} (Drawing), {{Film|Strong Mad}} (voice only)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Bad's Basement]]

'''Date:''' March 27, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 1:46

'''Page title:''' Not Just Yet!!

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens on the Lappy 486, with Strong Bad nowhere to be seen. The wind howls. After a few seconds, Female Lappy 486 appears on screen with the second note of the Lappy start-up noise.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' ''{the words appear on the screen as she says them}'' Oh. Golly-gosh. Strong Bad is understairs. Tell whim I love.

''{Quick drop to the Basement. Strong Bad is lying on the couch; Strong Sad is standing behind it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You get your shiny, round butt up in there and check that email!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Now, get out of my couch...area!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But it's your sesquicentenn-email!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't wanna turn a hundred and fifty! It's too much pressure! Strong Mad ate it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's okay, I can help! Check out these storyboards I drew up!

''{Strong Bad strains his neck to view the storyboard. Cut to a storyboard showing Strong Bad's boxing gloves on the Lappy 486's keyboard. Slow piano music starts. Above, it says "Scene 1" and "Int. Lappy-Day"; below, "Close on tip-tapping boxing gloves".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' We begin with a claustrophobic close-up of typing with boxing gloves on.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing Strong Bad sitting at his desk in the middle of the desert. Above, it says "Scene 1a" and "Ext. Desert-Day"; below, "zoom out to reveal wide shot of desk in desert".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' A quick zoom out reveals you're really in the middle of a barren desert landscape, symbolizing the vast scope of your achievement.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing Coach Z holding a pear covered with [[Googly-eyed Objects|googly eyes]] and with coffee dripping out of his hat and down his face. Above, it says, "Scene 2" and "Int. Creepytown-Night"; below, "dolly in on cz. holds up eyeball-pear".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Next, we dolly in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face.

''{Piano music stops. Cut to a close up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' This part doesn't represent anything. I just... always wanted to pour coffee on Coach Z.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing Strong Bad at his desk in the Computer Room, with the [[No Loafing Sign]] partially obscured. Homestar Runner is wearing a mask, and the star on his shirt is now cloud-shaped. Piano music starts again. Above, it says, "Scene 3" and "Int. Computer Room-Day"; below, "2 shot of SB and Desire Man".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Cut to a two-shot of you hashing it out with your innermost desires.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing a donut with a bite taken out of it. It is leaking jelly, in which Strong Bad's face appears. Above, it says, "Scene 4" and "Int. Donut Place-Night"; below, "ECU of jellyfish reflector. tear. fade out."}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And we end on an extreme close-up of your reflection in the gooey filling of a jelly donut as you shed a single tear.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's equal parts Lynchian, Fellinian, and Steve Buscemian, don't you think?

''{Cut back to the wide-shot of the couch. Strong Bad is now lying face-down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{incomprehensible mumbles}'' Pilotwings... ''{more incomprehensible mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, never mind. I'll go see what Strong Mad thinks of my Doug the Dino treatment. ''{walks offscreen}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' DON'T BOTHER!

''{A storyboard suddenly appears with a louder-than-usual punching sound, showing Strong Bad yelling. Above, it says "Scene 12" and "Int. Day-Up in your grill"; below, "Med. close on SB. 'Leemee alone. I do it next week!'"}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Sesquicentennial" is the term for a 150th anniversary.
*[[Wikipedia:Claustrophobia|Claustrophobia]] is an anxiety disorder which involves a fear of confined spaces.
*The filename, "149pernt5", is a [[Coach Z#Coach Z's Accent|Coach Z pronunciation]] of "149.5".

[[Image:Storyboards in full.PNG|thumb|"Check out these storyboards I drew up!"]]

===Remarks===
*The back button redirects you only to [[Main Page 19]].
*At the end, in the storyboard-style sketch of him, Strong Bad appears to have teeth.
*We see from Strong Sad's storyboards and his references to Fellini and David Lynch that he retains his interest in making [[Experimental Film]]s.
*When we see the storyboards in a longer shot, they do not match any of the close-up storyboards. The top left picture is of Strong Bad surrounded by "majesty" lines; the top right picture is a labeled jar with two arrows pointing to it. Decompiling the Flash file shows two others, one which appears to be a close-up of [[Bubs]]' face, and another of Homestar Runner turning and yelling.

===Goofs===
*The ripples do not appear when you click on Lappy's screen.

===Inside References===
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling]].
*Strong Sad references the oddity of [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|Strong Bad typing with boxing gloves on]] in the first storyboard scene.
*"Tip-tapping" might be an allusion to Strong Bad's [[secret identity]] "[[Secret Identities#Tip Tappers|Tip Tappers]]".
*[[Doug the Dino]] originally appeared in [[the facts]].
*Strong Bad claiming he '[didn't] want to turn 150' could be a reference to an Easter egg in [[flashback]], where Duckie Shirt Homestar says 'Happy Hundredth Birthday, Strong Bad!"
*The storyboard at the end is titled "Up in your grill". Bubs used the word "grill" in a very similar way in [[replacement]], when he said he'd "kick you in the grill!"



===Real-World References===
*Homestar's mask is the same style as the masks worn by [[wikipedia:Snifit|Snifits]] in the Super Mario Brothers games.
*[[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]] and [[Wikipedia:Federico Fellini|Federico Fellini]], as referenced by Strong Sad, are filmmakers known for bizarre imagery.
*[[Wikipedia:Steve Buscemi|Steve Buscemi]], also referenced by Strong Sad, is primarily known as a character actor who has appeared in such films as [[IMDB:tt0105236|Reservoir Dogs]], [[The Big Lebowski]], [[IMDB:tt0116282|Fargo]], and [[IMDB:tt0162346|Ghost World]] but has also directed quirky, independent films such as [[IMDB:tt0117958|Trees Lounge]] and [[IMDB:tt0385056|Lonesome Jim]].
*The music playing during Strong Sad's storyboard seems to be taken from the intro to U2's song "So Cruel".
*''[[Wikipedia:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]]'' is a [[Wikipedia:Flight simulator|flight simulation game]] and one of the first [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] games made.
*''Jellyfish Reflector'' is the name of [[Wikipedia:Guided by Voices|Guided by Voices']] 1996 live album.

===Fast Forward===
*As the last scene claimed, the 150th email ([[alternate universe]]) was released the following week. In an [[alternate universe#Easter eggs|Easter egg]], the Coach Z storyboard scene is played out with similar music to the music used during the storyboards.
*Though not all his storyboards are used in the 150th email, Strong Bad does accept Strong Sad's help in playing guitar for the email's intro song.
*The word sesquicentenn-email was used by Strong Bad in the 150th email during the number one jam.
*The music for the number one jam as well as the tune for the intro song of email 150 are all adapted from the piano background in this short.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over a guitar tune}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Texas" for "TX".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears the screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 with question mark #2. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Game Boy is in the blender.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Agreement noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops (Game Boy intact), and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' what? I ju-just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Obi-kabi! ''{Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip. There is a picture of some buildings. At the top of the panel is a caption saying "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding-

''{Comic shifts left, next panel is an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. Everything Strong Bad says while in the comic appears next to him in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says is not lip-synced and also appears in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! ''{"Stiny!" is in large red text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman's upper body and head is in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in front of a red background with his arms in the air.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. There is a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink visible. The bathroom tap has a "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not visible}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{Strong Bad jumps out of the current panel and falls down three panels. There is a woman with a Big Knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}'' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of the wall. There is a hole in it, and there is a cable running through the hole.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{not visible}'' Stolen from my neighbor!
''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat? ''{Cut back to the Computer Room. Strong Bad's voice is slightly distorted. A speech bubble is coming out of the swirl.}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat Turns around and pushes a button on the blender, which activates it. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" was when he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to an Old-Timey scene. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on a stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him there is a sign saying "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". There is a silhouetted audience visible.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes! ''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector drawn field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}'' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad's head}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP. ''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "up", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman's head}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator! ''{Cut back to previous view.}'' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth, which Stinkoman jumps around to dodge. Strong Bad follows suit shortly after. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silenty laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. A bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{Old-Timey Strong Bad half runs towards the root beer, and says "Jump!" as he jumps in. Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and plays a tune and dances.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquify button, man!

''{Cut to a zoomed up view of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room, which now has a green substance inside it, as well as the Game Boy. On the desk is one and a half avacados, and a jar reading "Total Load". Homestar is pressing the buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here! ''{Cut to a zoomed out version of the Computer Room. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}'' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{Homestar presses a button on the blender, which makes him and the swirl disappear. Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to closeups of the pear from two angles, its eyes google, then a closeup of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the medium shot, Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants...
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsparilla]] is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]] (Old-Timey Strong Bad mispronounces it, however. He pronounces it "sar-sparilla," when the general pronunciation is "sass-parilla".)
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed "too high." Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available, hence Strong Badman's choosing to live in his apartment rather than a secret underground lair.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) and are often drunk to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].

===Trivia===
*This email is the longest email to date, almost a minute longer than [[flashback]], currently the next longest.
*When Strong Bad jumps from one panel to another in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel with an explosion, saying "TADAOW!", and a panel with Deutschman (from [[haircut]]), holding a chain of sausages, saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", which is the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears so the fact they are mentioned is notable.
*Senor Cardgage is the only Strong Bad's alter ego who had before been seen talking with him, as seen in [[kind of cool]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a rare occassion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*This is the first time we have heard Da Huuuuuuudge speak.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the guitar [[Left Handedness|left-handed]].

===Goofs===
*During the comic scene, when the panel changes from "Because, mere mortal" to "Is rent controlled!", the panels underneath get changed.
*At the end, when the paper comes down, you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (As opposed to the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Strong Bad standing next to him.)

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string.
*Putting a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] in a [[Blender|blender]] to access an alternate reality was discovered by Homestar in [[2 emails]], when he made a time machine in this way.
*Strong Bad also confused the value of money and lengths of time in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's "Mash go on that blender" is based on similar lines from [[flashback]], ("The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive [[Jam Box|jambox]]"), [[strongbad_email.exe]] ("make your selection and mash go, moron!"), and [[Everybody Knows It]] ("Mash play on that jambox").
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronounciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The music in the Strong Badman comic is from [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]].
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*Coach Z presumably "puked his pants", as mentioned in [[secret recipes]].
*"I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to [[dragon]].
* "Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar mispells "Dawg".
*The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].

=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is more well known as an enemy from the computer games ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Doom II|Doom II]]''. The plot for these games involved demons coming out of portals to hell.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "photoshopped" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively, to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* "Oba Kaybe" is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby: Himself|Bill Cosby: Himself]]'', a stand-up comedy movie from 1983 starring, naturally, [[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby|Bill Cosby]].
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]. Though Strong Bad sarcastically calls her creators "geniuses", She-Hulk was co-created by the legendary comic book artist [[Wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] and [[Wikipedia:John Buscema|John Buscema]]. Interestingly, She-Hulk comics are noted for their fourth-wall breaks, similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel.
* Homestar's unusual speech in the surreal Coach Z easter egg is based on a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]]. (Strong Sad had cited Lynch as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].) The actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here).
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*A freemason is a member of the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]], the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]] or any of their allied organizations ([[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc.) which fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, in which states 'maxin and relaxin all cool'
*The portal to the alternate universe looks very similar to portals to the light/dark world in [[Wikipedia:Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]].
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose" because American cartoon characters tend to have very large noses compared to Japanese cartoon characters.

DELETED

2006-02-21T04:48:47Z

Tjsynkral: /* Fun Facts and Abnormalities */

[[Image:deleted.PNG|thumb|'''BRAAAAAMMMPP!!!''']]

When [[Strong Bad]] gets an email he doesn't like, it gets...'''DELETED!!''' This is apparently mandatory with the "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]" emails.

==Sightings==
=== [[Tandy 400]] Era ===
In this era, the DELETED screen is a green background with black letters. (Oddly, "DELETED!" appears in the Compy's [[Fonts|font]].)
*[[homestar hair]] (almost, see fun fact below)
*[[spring cleaning]] (debut)
*[[sisters]]
*[[Theme Song Video]] (DVD version only)
*[[pop-up]] (as a pop-up in the pop-up book)

=== [[Compy 386]] Era ===
[[Image:Clavicus.png|thumb|200px|"I think I broke my clavicus... majorus."]]In this era, the DELETED screen is a blue background with white letters.
*[[50 emails]]
*[[huttah!]]
*[[unused emails]]
*[[2 emails]]
*[[car]] (almost, see fun fact below)
*[[replacement]]
*[[virus]]





== Fun Facts and Abnormalities ==
[[Image:Delorted.PNG|thumb|DELORTED!?!?]][[Image:Stupid word.png|thumb|"What is that stupid word?!"]]
* The very first deleted email (a [[Hairstyle Runner]] design) was in [[homestar hair]]. Strong Bad typed "delete that crap," instead of DELETED!!
* In the email [[spring cleaning]], Strong Bad DELETES every email he receives.
* In the email [[sisters]], the [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|malfunctioning]] Tandy 400 causes Strong Bad to inadvertently delete the email he was trying to reply to. When he tries to delete the second email, it ends up being "saved forever".
* In [[50 emails]], Strong Bad types "matt = DELETED!", and the email is in fact deleted with the word "MATT!" displayed on the screen.
* In [[replacement]], [[Coach Z]]'s attempt at the word "DELETED" caused the Compy to flash "DELORTED!!" on a yellow screen, and the corresponding buzzer became distorted.
* In [[virus]], Strong Bad tries twice to delete the offending email, but he is thwarted by [[The Virus]], receiving the messages "NICE TRY!" and "NOTTA CHANCE!!".
* In [[labor day]], when Strong Bad doesn't show up to the Labor Day party, [[Strong Sad]] jokes that Strong Bad's invitation may have been "da-leet-ed."
* In [[unused emails]], Strong Bad winds up and screams "DELETED!", body-slamming the Compy in the process. He is about to do this again in [[car]], but [[Homestar Runner]] saves the email from a "tired old Strong Bad joke" and is rewarded with a punch in the face.
* Homestar attempts (and spectacularly fails) to perform the "DELETED!" gag in [[50 emails]]. He tries "BALEETED!", "DELTEATED!", "Del Taco?", and quite a few other words ''(see [[50 emails#Homestar's attempts at DELETED|the complete list]])''. He ends up crashing the computer with a [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|Flagrant Error]].
* On the third email in [[huttah!]], Strong Bad says "Moving on!" and the computer flashes "MOVING ON!!" when the email is deleted.
* While the Lappy has not yet deleted any emails, it is apparently able to start them over, as seen in [[do over]].
* Ironically, the pop up book in [[pop-up]] features DELETED!!, but makes the sound of Strong Bad's voice saying DELETED rather than the expected buzz sound.
