==Homestar's costume==

This article states that: "{Homestar Runner shuffles up on his knees. He's scribbled yellow marker on himself, attached some black thing to his head, and put black dots all on one side to look like The Cheat.}" Given that The Cheat is dressed as Homestar in the easter egg I can imagine there's some kind of co-operation there; basically I think it's a fairly baseless assumption to say that Homestar has dressed himself up when we don't actually see the act or any kind of authoritative reference to it, and The Cheat was obviously in on it.

Thoughts? --Goatboy

:You know, that's a good point. The description could be just as effective and concise without having to make that assumption. I'll adjust it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:25, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Spike==
Coach Zed is reminiscent of Snoopy's brother Spike.

Yeah, that's what I thought. [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 21:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan: Ignorant? ==

I don't think Marzipan is as smart as was previously shown. She couldn't see through such an obvious disguise in the Easter Egg. It would seem Homestar and her are very alike... --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 19:45, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*I dunno... she couldn't tell that [[Homestar Jr.]] wasn't really talking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:06, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*I personally think that Marzipan only pictures herself as smarter than Homestar, in a similar fashion to how Strong Bad pictures himself as a cool ladies man. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 21:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
** Strong Bad IS a cool ladies man. -Jhonka
*I'm guessing Marzipan knew that it was The Cheat and just took advantage of the opportunity. Her and The Cheat have seemed to have had a thing for each other for a while anyway. -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 01:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
** O_o If you say so... --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 01:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*Don't forget about Tofu Homestar. She seems to like Homestar more when he's not really Homestar. :P -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 02:15, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

== SCRAWNY ADDITIONS ==

Stop making scrawny additions like "running time: 4:23". I had the entire sbemail done and then it said "someone else has changed the page" and all that was changed was that you added "running time: 4:23"! Thanks a lot! --[[User:EMJS|''EMJS'']] [[User talk:EMJS|(Talk)]] 19:50, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

: It's just as well. I finished the draft anyway. And, as a note, your edit is at the bottom of the screen in an Edit Conflict and can be easily copy/pasted back. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

NOTE: Edit conflict; what a great way to make my point!
:Uh, you know that your text is on the bottom, right? You can easily copy the text from there, as I just did. Also, running time is an important factor, not a scrawny addition. Sorry you got cheated out of a transcript, but it's happened to others too. (Btw, sign your comment) --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== My first addition to the Wiki (or to any Wiki for that matter) ==

I added a link to the forum thread. That is the only change I made. I hope I didn't screw anything up. On my first try, I took too long and got the "Someone else has edited this page" alert, so I cut-to-clipboard the link I added, backed out, and clicked edit again, and as fast as possible, added the link and clicked save.
- Jalexster (sorry, didn't know about not signing my comment. I'll get the hang of everything soon.)
: Cool. We all have to start somewhere. However - and I'm not trying to be rude - but this might be better served on your [[User:Jalexter|user page]]. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 20:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== Possible Family Guy Reference ==

Last night's new Family Guy episode featured Peter swallowing nickels to get the world record. He also made the jangling noise with his belly. Would this possibly be a reference to Family Guy or is it to vague?
--[[User:24.27.135.88|24.27.135.88]] 21:16, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, there's a vote going on in STUFF about that right now. I certainly think it is, especially given that they've been known to make emails at the last minute and the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence. From after I voted, 2 people (including myself) say yes and 1 person says no. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 21:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't think its a reference, as the episode premiered on Sunday and the email premiered today...I don't think that TBC would have enough time to make such a reference, even if they cared. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

I noticed this too and was completely weirded out. The Brothers Chaps often pull all-nighters getting their emails out, and this one came later in the day. I'm almost positive it was a reference. And I know this shouldn't be in here, but that was a great Family Guy episode! -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 02:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

I was about to list this one. This premiered one day after that episode; whether it consciously influenced them or not, I think it is definitely behind that part of the email. --jbo

According to interviews and such, one of the longest it takes to make a sbemail is 3 or 5 days. They can make a sbemail pretty quickly these days... So it's quite possible. --[[User:StarWarsMonkey|StarWarsMonkey :-)]] 00:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== 'School'? ==

There were two references in this email about SB and Homestar going to school together (possibly with Strong Mad). Has this ever been mentioned before, or is it just a random joke of some kind?

It has. Strong Sad was talking about how he went to school in Yellow Dello. Sign your posts.-Alice

He ate colored chalk in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]. -H*R guyman.

== little hearts ==

When I first watched this email, there weren't any little hearts above Homestar's head when he said "Strong Bad, I think I'm falling for you." Did anyone else catch that?-Alice
: I saw it very shortly after it came out. Like within less than half an hour. As far as I know, the hearts were always there. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

: Same here. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

oops. my bad. -Alice

== Homestar: Gay? ==

From what he did in this email, Homestar seems like he's gay. Do you think he is?
-Kinsey
: I'm not sure that Strong Bad's imagination counts as canon. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::EDIT CONFLICT'd!!! With Strong Bad cutting out like that, I don't think that part was real. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 19:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::Homestar "falls" for SB in "real-time", not as part of the do-over. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::: Does he? Strong Bad immediately ends the whole thing and acts as though it never happened after Homestar falls for him. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 20:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:::They go into the sequence in what seems like "reality". But they do come out of it as if he was imagining. Regardless, it's just a joke. Strong Bad's allure is so strong, everyone falls for him! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:Regardless of whether it was imaginary or not, it seems like the joke is that Strong Bad was singing such a terrible song, and then a GUY fell in love with him. And without another reference to Homestar's sexuality, I wouldn't say that this constitutes as a fact. -- [[User:Lord Karkon|Lord Karkon]]

:sigh: Just becasue Homestar has the socio-cognitive developmental equiviency of a 10-year-old does not make him "Gay." (If I used to many big words for you, I just said that Homestar acts like a child).
Does this make him "Retarded?" Quite possibly, but not gay. He's just blissfully unaware of sexuality; much like your litle brother that giggles when you say a mildly naught word. Keep in mind the nature of his relationship with Marzipan. To sum him up, he's not just dim in "I've got a girfriend" department, he's dim to the point of fumbling around a lot and bumping into stuff (not just figuratively, I might add). Is it any wonder that Marzipan is mostly indiferent to his advances?
Be this as it may, I don't believe it's helpfull to put such labels on Homestar. Even if he were a flaming homosexual who advertised his homosexuality and organized daily Gay Pride marches in Strong Bad's living room* I really would't see the point in actively applying the "gay" label to him.

*Why there? Becasue he'd be gay but still Homestar. He's be Gaystar Runner. Or perhaps Homestar Gayer. Take your pick.

This concludes the mostly pointless but also mildly amusing "is he Gay" thread. You may now question your own sexuality if you like.

*Ok, Guys. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. In fact, I'll make you feel happier by saying '''Homestar is NOT GAY!!''' -Kinsey

**I think that the real answer is that '''Homestar is too stupid/innocent to have a sexual orientation at all.''' <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 23:56, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

***Yeah. The parades sound humourous, though...I can see it...SB: Homestar, what are you doing?
HR: I'm putting on a rainbowcolor two-blue-crayon parade in your living room! SB: You WHAT!?!?!?!?! Allright, no one needs to see this! ''{SB covers camera with his glove}'' I made up the phrase "Two Blue Crayons" because I don't have the guts to say "gay". My friend Thomas teases me about it all the time, saying that I am "that". It all started with a joke, I was feeling really immature and-hey, Homestar could have been just immature, and did weird things. I think so.
-Alex H.

==Casting Coach Zed==
No one seems to be able to agree on this. Should Coach Zed be in the cast list? I vote yes, BTW. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 20:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. He was probably just a one-time easter egg gag. --[[User:StarWarsMonkey|StarWarsMonkey :-)]] 00:08, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
: So what? He appeared so he should be in the cast list. I mean, we included Li'l Brudder in the cast list of [[crying]], did we not? And as far as we knew at the time, he was just a one-time gag, correct? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:13, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
:: Li'l Brudder plays a much bigger part in [[crying]] than Coach Zed does in [[do over]]. Also, without the easter egg drawing, Coach Zed isn't really a different person. I say leave him out of the cast list. --[[User:68.82.147.62|68.82.147.62]] 05:37, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

== "Attack of the Show"-ed? ==

This is probably stretching, but Strong Bad whacking Homestar with the keyboard could be considered a reference to the [http://www.g4tv.com/videos/index.html?video_key=9042 Homerowed sketch] found on [http://www.g4tv.com/aots Attack of the Show]. The show used to be [http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/ The Screen Savers], which featured an interview of TBC: [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]] --[http://www.madcrasher.com/main/index.php?module=about#e-mail madcrasher]

I just added a note pointing out that the whole "Zed" thing is a bit of a misconception, although technicly it is correct. If you look it up in a grammar/pronounciation guide, it's there. However, in reality it's not so simple. Due to the constant exposure to american media (tv, movies, print, etc.) you are less and less likely to hear a Canadian in Canada actualy pronounce the letter "Z" as "zed" now than you were thrity years ago. Since it seems that it takes about thirty years for the grammar & diction handbooks to get with the times, it's not surprising that you yanks think we canucks all say "Zed" all; the time up here in the great frozen igloo-factury that is Canada. (You just keep thinking we all live in igloos. Gives you less reason to want to invade us.) ;)

In fairness, sometimes I will still pronounce it "zed", especialy when it comes to spelling my nameout loud, (For those of you who weren't paying attention, I just told you that my name has one or more "z" in it.) I know it's still prevelent and has not died outr of useage. I'm just trying to point out that Canadians are not known to say "Zee" from time to time as well as "Zed". Ok?

Now, if you realy wanna get into a pronunciation debate, ask me how to pronounce "Saskatchewan" or "Toque" or "Poutine" (and no, the last one is not the name of the current Russian leader, bet rather an food item unique to Canada.) Or something harder if you really wanna get into it.
I'm all Canadian, all the time.

== Round ol red head? (or something similar) ==

Isn't the begginning of the serenade a reference to the King of town's description of Strong Bad in the Strong Bad in jail cartoon? -Carlo

I don't think so, but it is more evidence toward the theory that the wrestling mask is Strong Bad's head. -Alice

== Unrelated RWR ==
*Strongbad's denying that he has ever made any mistakes is a reference to George W. Bush's similar answer to that question during a press conference.
**''Found this in real world references. IMO, it's rediculously stretched, and hardly related at all, so i'll be removing it from the RWR for now. If there's any objections, take it to STUFF, k?'' [[User:EDY-innit|EDY-innit]] 23:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== Possible goof ==
Marzipan never wears lipstick, sohow did she cover The Cheat in it?-Ashley

Good Point. It shows, as was mentiones above, that Marzipan likes Homestar more when he's not actually Homestar. That kind of thing always happens in cartoons. -Alice

How did Marzi slap Homestar in The Yello Dello toon? And who knows if her "hands" are shaped like that?-Leels

== Coach Zed = Spike? ==

==Closed STUFF==
===Grammatically Incorrect (DECLINED)===

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").
*<s>'''Accept''', yeah ok. makes sense to me</s> Actually, no. "Alright" is more or less an acceptable word. Besides, who says Strong Bad doesn't use slang? '''Decline'''-- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*Decline Nitpicky is this not? Who cares? If this were called "select the usable BORING facts, maybe. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]

*'''Decline''' Alright, is actually considered proper nowadays. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept first''' but '''Decline second''' The first one is good because it is incorrect and he uses it twice in the email, but the second one is the same thing that the sender emailed. And I dont think the part about "Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes" is important either. I guess my vote should be a Rewrite, but I can't think of a good way to write it right now.
**Let's just leave it at '''Declined'''. While "alright" isn't accepted as proper English by everyone, it appears in the dictionary, and using "different" instead of "differently" is exactly the kind of subtle mocking of his fans that Strong Bad does all the time.[[User:Kyushu|Kyushu]]
*'''Decline''' I use "alright" all the time. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 10:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Apparently, alright is [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=alright alright]. In addition, SB does this ALL THE TIME. It's just not notable any more. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' I may dislike the word ''alright'', all right, but it's far from the first time Strong Bad has used it. And "do differently," while technically correct, is not worth a mention. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declime.''' Did you never notice how Strong Bad uses grammatically-incorrect phrases like "anydangway" and "TWELVE SIDED DIE'D!!" all the freakin' time? 22:01 17 May 05
**Not to diminish your point, but those aren't quite ungrammatical. The first is an example of [[Wikipedia:tmesis|tmesis]], and the second is an awkward noun-to-verb shift.

===Totally not gettin' old? (DECLINED)===
"Anydangway" is a reference to [[car]], in which Strong Bad said the same thing.

*'''Accept''' Despite how often the word is used here, this is only the second time it's used on the site, so it counts as a reference.

**'''Second,''' except for the part about Chewbacca.
===George W. Stnank (DECLINED)===
Strong Bad's reply of "I've never actually made a mistake" is a reference to George W. Bush's response to the same question.
*'''Decline''' Okay, first of all, let me be the first to say: NO POLITICAL ARGUMENTS!!! As for the fact itself, I think it's a funny coincidence — they both said more or less the same thing, and both with questionable veracity — but just a coincidence, nothing more. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:43, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

===Bang On The Drum (DECLINED)===
When Homestar hits the drum, it changes pitch, but a real drum could not do this without adjustment. Knowing that Homestar's "arms" are invisible, he may be doing this and it can't be noticed.

When Homestar comments "I think I'm falling for you", it's a reference to the Weezer song "Falling For You" off the Pinkerton album.

=== Change of Pace (ACCEPTED) ===
Homestar eating coins might be a reference to the Family Guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy) episode that aired the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.

*'''Accept-erson''' I actually saw Family Guy the night before this email was released and I thought about it as a watched this email. And considering the fact that [[TBC]] make updates (in this case, the new email) late Sunday night or early Monday morning (usually), it is a possibility. I mean, TBC seem like the kinda funny dudes who watch those kind of shows, like me. 8-P [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
*'''Decline.''' I'd think this would have been in the works for awhile. But, I did read in one of the interviews that they stick jokes in at the last minute. Still, I think it's a stretch. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I was just about to say that! Given the timing and Homestar's comment about being "jingly" ("tell me that doesn't sound like camp town races!") make me believe it. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 21:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''DO OVER!!!''' I'm willing to chalk this one up to coincidence without some more solid evidence (okay, okay, I didn't watch it, but it SOUNDS like it's the sort of thing I'd normally call a coincidence.) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 21:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought Family Guy, the timing is way too much of a coincedence, and the Brothers do e-mails on Sundays usually, especially since this one wasnt even up until later today, rather than early in the morning like usual. The brothers seem like the type who would watch Family Guy too. --[[User:Dex|Dex]] 21:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' I would count this as a very bizzare coincidence...while it may be a reference, I doubt that TBC would have much time to put it in, and if they did if they cared so much...besides, TBC is not especially known to steal jokes from other shows. Reference them maybe, but it was essentially the same joke. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*'''Accept.''' <s>I haven't made up my mind.</s> Although, if all the coins were ''nickels'', then it would be more clear-cut... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' and a minor '''rewrite'''-or at least a couple of fixes while I'm looking at it. I saw the same episode, and it seems like a reference to me. The timing's too good to make it unlikely. As for the rewrite, just stick 'aired' after 'episode' (doesn't sound right to me without it) and replace 'where' with 'in which' And Griffin has two Fs. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:25, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
**Since these changes don't affect the substance of the fact, we'd might as well go ahead and make them.
*Accept You theif!!! I wanted to say this. Oh well. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*Why do you people think that TBC would reference the show, considering that the majority of Homestarrunner.com does not contain references to other pop culture shows and their jokes, especially not to the extent of stealing a joke. (after all it seems that the joke was not so much a reference as a direct steal if it was)....
**To the person who didn't sign their name: Uh... let me see here, Cheat Commandos is a huge reference to G.I. Joe, which was part of pop culture and is still a well-known character/franchise, Bug In Mouth Disease alludes to Dallas, pizzaz makes a Seinfeld reference, montage makes a big Rocky reference. As such, I have to disagree when you say HSR makes no references to pop culture. Granted, some of the many are no longer in pop culture, and some are dated, but one cannot say that there are no pop culture references. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 01:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
***Sorry about that, I forgot to hit the ~s. Now I was not saying that Homestarrunner.com never makes pop culture references...There are dozens, as TBC are big into pop culture in general. All I am saying is that the examples listed above parody or make fun of or at least ellaborate on pop culture. Not so with the alleged Family Guy reference. That seems to be (a) Not anywhere near as obvious as the others and (b) pretty much the same joke that Family Guy used. I personally would assume that TBC would be original enough to make up their own jokes, not use others, and I think there is a large difference in referencing and stealing the entire joke. Besides, I doubt they had enough time to anyway. I still think it is a coincidence. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
***On the other hand, it was posted one day after the episode aired, which is why I accepted this when I would normally decline --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
* In ''The Dilbert Future'' by Scott Adams, Scott has a chapter where he talks about ideas, and how sometimes they can come off as not-original. He wrote a chapter about security cameras in public places and when he turned on his T.V there was a report on the exact same thing. He wrote a comic with a joke about a fake opera singer called "Placebo Domingo" and when he opened his newspaper there was a comic with the same exact joke. I guess what I'm saying is...its a coincidence. Don't be so quick to accept just because of that. This one should never have been STUFF'D, just deleted.

* Okay look, if the e-mail had been posted a week or more after the Family Guy episode, this wouldn't even be an issue, it would've just been shrugged off as a similiar gag and not a reference. TBC are not stupid nor do they blindly rip gags off from other people. The fact that the e-mail aired so close to the FG episode only adds to the evidence that its a coincidence.

***** You're taking the word too literally. I mean that the references make some mention that can easily be tied to something else that makes the reference (relatively) clear - the name of the character on the Halloween costume is revealed, an exact line of dialogue is replicated, the name of an establishment is thrown into conversation, etc. Where's the tie here? It's a similar joke that could stand on its own without Family Guy having ever used the same joke. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

*******The only "reasoning" supplied has just given weight to the argument that this is a coincidence. Once again, the fact that the toons aired so close to each other, the fact that TBC DO NOT rip off jokes directly from other people (instead using more subtle references like in the Halloween toons), and that the jokes are not identical only help to show that its a coincidence. Nobody has given reasoning beyond the close air date. THAT is why people are so opposed to this one. And to the person who said the coin jingling noises were similiar: Get a bunch of coins together. Jingle them. Sound familier? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*This is getting sort of petty on both sides, but my firm stance is: if this was referring to anything other than Family Guy, it probably would already be Declined unanimously. This fact is EQUALLY as valid as dozens of other Declined facts. The arguments that have been provided are all circumstantial and probably coincidental: a similar joke that happened to be one day apart. The words "might be" in the fact (which ARE there) cause almost everyone on this Wiki to Decline it without even reading any further. No solid connections - NONE - have been provided. Okay, so they both involve eating coins and having them jingle. That doesn't automatically make it a reference, since no dialogue is reproduced and no names are mantioned. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
* And I'll say it one more time - it doesn't actually ''refer to'' Family Guy at all. If it IS based on Family Guy then it's nothing more than joke theft, and I'd like to think that The Bros. Chaps are above that sort of plagiarism. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:49, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
**Besides, (and this IS getting really petty), the way that Homestar made the sound of coins jangling is not similar enough to be called a reference to how Peter jangled. I mean, how many characters of cartoons have eaten change before anyway? How many have jangled in some sort afterwards as part of a joke? Even if this is a reference (which i highly doubt to be as such), what makes you think it was a Family Guy reference? If Homestar ate nickles, maybe. I like FG as much as the next guy, and I respect both the creators of FG and HSR to be original enough to not steal a joke from someone else. To me, this is starting to feel like that episode of South Park entitled "Simpsons Did it." Have we become Butters people? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

It boggles my mind. There is no substance to this fact. It is "Family Guy did this, and Homestar did it too, and although there's no solid connection, it MUST be a reference" being accepted while "TBC are referencing THEMSELVES in something that contextually makes NO SENSE if it's not a reference and they reference themselves ALL THE FRIKKING TIME" being declined???

***You're taking it WAY too literally, and as thus, you're ruining the joke. We have WRITTEN AT THE TOP OF THE SISTERS TRANSCRIPT that the computer deleted it itself. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
****Then what was Strong Bad's stnank? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

******If the stnank was speaking along with the Tandy's screen and saying Deleted, why is the correction of the stnank him NOT deleting it, and nothing happening to it (in the form of saving/deleting/etc.)? If it wasn't, then SB would have still tried to save the email, and if the Tandy malfunctioning was the cause of deletion, it STILL would have been deleted!

*******EXACTLY!!! That's the whole point! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:38, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
* You guys are reading way too much into this. The point is that Strong Bad is trying to change the way the e-mails went, not to undo any mistakes that he's made (which is why he called them "stnanks").'''decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*'''Decline.''' To quote, "Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over." I.e., a 'stnank' isn't really a mistake--it's something that's worthy of a do-over. But even without this reason, humour is a dish best served in the absence of OCD nitpickers. --[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 14:57, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

==IMMEDIATE contesting of an Accepted fact==

I'm not letting this die until the fact does. I'm invoking the little-used but perfectly valid power to CONTEST a bad fact that got accepted anyway. I refer, of course, to the Family Guy non-reference, AKA "Change of Pace" (see above). There is no reason to believe that it's a reference that can't be chalked up to pure coincidence, and if the "fact" is true, then it doesn't mean that there was any "homage" - it means that TBC are plagiarists, and I'd prefer to think of them as being better than that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Although this sort of reminds me of Star Wars (so this is how democracy dies), I am with ya. But how would this work anyhow? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Good question. I'm not sure a Fun Fact has ever been seriously contested before. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:41, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Right on brudda! This is a stinky one! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:04, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I propose creating a rebel group devoted to fighting this evil menace. Or you know just bitching about it for a while until they see it our way. Whichever works. -- [[User:69.39.99.20|69.39.99.20]] 21:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: Whoever you are, as I've stated about a dozen times, this fact is equally as "valid" as many other facts that were tossed straight out the window with unanimous declines. If this had been about almost anything besides Family Guy, it probably would have been thrown out the window with them. I am only trying to keep this Wiki loaded with GOOD facts. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::Jay, I hate to be the pessimist in some respects, but I honestly don't think you will win this fight, no matter how nobel the cause. A lot of people like Family Guy so much that it blinds their ability to judge objectivly the validity of this so called fact. Of course, I'm right with you in fighting it, but all I'm saying is that it might not work out so well. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:09, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I say this with sincerity and in friendship: What, exactly, are you contesting? Do you want a recount? Okay, I see 16 accepts and 8 declines. Wasn't the process followed correctly? Everyone has had two full weeks to weigh in, and everybody got one vote. If you're just upset that the vote didn't go your way, then my friend, I am afraid I cannot help you. I must point out, however, that you're starting to sound like ''A Few Good Men'' ("Your honor, I object!" "Overruled!" "No, I ''strenuously'' object." "Oh, well, I guess I'd better reconsider.").<div style="text-indent: 2em">The vast majority of fun facts that are based on speculation get declined. Note that they don't get declined because they are necessarily incorrect; they simply do not have enough evidence to support them. (See [[Talk:dangeresque_3#Constantinople.3F_.28Declined.29|Constantinople]] for another example.) But just because you vote "decline" on something does not make it false. Short of TBC making some kind of announcement about this, there's ''no way'' you can be 100% sure that the accepts are wrong and the declines are right. As for me, I was ready to decline the fact, but I decided to watch the toon once more and see what I thought. After viewing it again, and ''considering the timing'', I decided that there was ''just enough'' there for it to be too coincidental to be a coincidence. (And, incidentally, my vote wasn't based on whether ''I'' like ''Family Guy'', but whether I thought TBC do.) I notice that you admit not having seen the episode in question. How, then, can you be so sure? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>
::Dot com, I have seen the episode, and have been and still am a huge fan of Family Guy. The fact is that this being a reference means that TBC is ''stealing'' a joke. I just didnt consider TBC to be theives and to be original enough.
::Now, I agree. These arguments have been stated and restated millions of times. Saying them over and over again accomplishes nothing. All I am saying is that I think that this form of democracy is flawed. The majority of votes made were done so, IMHO, because the voter enjoys Family Guy. I agree that there is nothing that can be done. Democracy has spoken. I am just disapointed in the STUFF rules so that such a rediculous (again, in my opinion) "fact" can be accepted by such a large margin. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 00:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::I am not a strong supporter of this fact (see my vote way above), I just ''lean'' toward accepting it. And I see your point, but I don't think TBC would consider it stealing. Or if they did, they might not care. Here's how I see it playing out: "Hey, Matt, Peter's eating nickels... that's funny!" "Yeah, Mike, we should have Homestar do something like that. I'll put it in the scene that I'm working on ''right now''." (Emphasis mine.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I'm with Jay on this. I'ma email the Chappos; hopefully they'll answer. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 23:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::I think that's an excellent idea, FireBird. If I had my wish, I'd interview them about once a year and ask about all our little facts that we get so worked up over but they have probably forgotten all about. They'd probably laugh me right out of their office, or basement, or wherever. But then at least ''we'd'' sleep better at night. Actually, if I had my wish then Strong Bad would answer one of my emails. Or, better yet, someone would give me a million dollars bill. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::: You could try asking your computer to print one. Just make sure you say "[[couch patch|please]]". Okay, seriously. The arguments I have given before are the arguments I give now - if it's true, it makes plagiarists of TBC, and there's not enough evidence that we know it's true in the first place. I don't know if they'd ever even bother answering your question, but if they did, it would certainly clear up a lot — just don't count on it happening. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:20, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Hey ==

Any ideas why Homestar and The Cheat switched? Tell me.

:No clue. This idea would be better posed on the [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ Forum]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:02, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== homestar saying "booooo" instead of "mooooo"?==
i always thought that he said booooo. i think he would say that because he is kind of booing strong bad for his "wrong" statement. I also thought that Strong Bad just interpreted it wrong. i could be wrong, i'm just making a statement.
- DDR_freak1
ugh i forgot my user name. at least that's what i THINK it was.
:I hear "moo". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:21, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

* ok, i just thought that it would make more sense if he said moo, but then again, homestar isn't really supposed to make sense in the first place, huh? :P

==Ben Franklin?==
I dunno about you, but when I listen to the first part of the this email, it reminds me strongly of Ben Franklin's Autobiography, in which he claims to have never made a mistake, but nonetheless has a few "errata" in his life. Thoughts? - Rowen

:That's an interesting theory, but I'm afraid it's too big a stretch to include in the article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:06, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

== Moldy Bread ==

Moldy bread has been mentioned three times: [[Fortune Cookies]], [[do over]], and [[Thy Dungeonman II]]. This seems to be more than a coincidence — it's not a very common phrase. What/where's the best way/place to note this? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== Phantom keyboard ==

I found a goof...or something.

When SB is redoing the Ali and Ali's sister email, he manages to hit the keyboard without actually typing anything for one split second before he types "No. No dying.". Anybody else notice this? -[[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 12:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

== Two-dimensional ==

:''While he is disguised as The Cheat, Homestar's shirt is solid yellow (with spots) while his legs and head are colored in scribbly yellow with visible white streaks, which implies that he is wearing a costume shirt but has colored his skin with a marker or paintbrush. However, he has a fringe of white not colored in all around his visible outline, which makes sense only if Homestar is genuinely two-dimensional, or if he has only colored the left side of his body (and about two-thirds of each foot).''
This seems too nitpicky for the article (after all, these characters ''are'' two-dimensional), but interesting nonetheless. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

== Matt's Motto ==

I really don't think Matt's "motto", "wah wah wah" is repeated by Homestar in [[Cool Things|Cool Things]]. He's just imitating a trombone. Seriouswy. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 19:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extra-size, Pom Pom! Lemme see ya pour on that extra sauce! That strangest man in the world contest ain't gonna win itself!

'''SINGER:''' Showdown!

''{Fade out. Cut back to the Field, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are walking to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, Pom Pom, I feel great! I feel fresh as a bagel! I bet I could lift fifty stringiest man in the world contests!

''{They approach a sign pointing the way to the contest, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are waiting.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' W— wait. ''{closer closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' You— wait. ''{another closeup}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' Wait—

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry, loud bubble noises}''

''{Strong Bad reacts in surprise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Pom Pom! Let's tone down the language before the contest, huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat. We'd better go start signing autographs. There's a pretty big line building up over there. ''{exits with The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking determined}'' Come on, Pom Pom! Let's go get Strong Bad's autograph!

''{Pom Pom gives Homestar an annoyed look, but Homestar doesn't notice.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hear there's a pretty big line building up.

''{Cheering voices over momentarily before cutting to a banner reading "Strongest Man In The World Contest".}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover over microphone}'' Ladies and gentlemen, you can ''not'' be ready for the ''{pan down to show The Announcer}'' Strongest Man In The World Contest!

''{He flips the microphone from one hand to the other.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's meet our smokin' hot contestants!

''{Cut to a darkened scene with a silhouette of Mr. Bland and disco lights in the background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Hailing from the middle of the road, the prince of plain, the master of mundane, it's ''{spotlight turns on}'' Mr. Bland!

''{Cut to a beige background of panning cubes and "mr. bland" scrolls to the right. Mr. Bland strikes an action pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And next, our returning champion, the walking—

''{Cut to a similar disco lights scene with The Robot in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —metal robot... The Robot!

''{A spotlight shines on The Robot and he waves. A blue background of screws and hex nuts pans in, and "The Robot" appears while The Robot holds a waving pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And from Foreign Lands, the foreign man:

''{Cut back to the disco scene, now with Señor in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Señor Ha-Ha-Ha-Havin' A Little Trouble!

''{A brown background of [[beans]] pans in, and "Señor" appears while Señor strikes an action pose.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And...

''{Cut to silhouettes of Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner, whose respective spotlights turn on as their names are mentioned.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quickly}'' Pom-Pom-Strong-Bad-and-Homestar.

''{Homestar looks surprised. Cut back to The Announcer. The scene is bright again.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Grape Fairie! Hit me with da rules!

''{Pan up to The Grape Fairie riding his bee. He makes a scroll appear that reads "Rules".}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' ''{in a Bronx accent}'' All right, youse ''{incomprehensible}'' brains, listen up smart. I start yas each off with like twenty grapes.

''{A pile of [[grapes]] takes the place of the floating scroll.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Then I adds one at a time.

''{A grape appears above the pile.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' The bum what holds the most grapes —

''{A golden bowl-shaped trophy appears in place of the grapes.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' — wins this gold bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen; sounds impressed}'' Dang, Pom Pom, you see that golbol? ''{zooms in on "golbol"}'' That's a nice golbol.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's get this over with!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Allzy oop. ''{zaps a pile of grapes on top of the contestants}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' ''{speaking monotone}'' Okay.... This is going really well.

''{The pile of grapes crushes Mr. Bland.}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' Oh.

''{Cut to silhoettes of everyone on a yellow background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Down goes Bland!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Ka-bu op! ''{pings a single grape over each contestant}''

''{Cut to Señor, impossibly balancing the entire pile on one hand.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' Oh, no, boy. I havin' a little trouble!

''{The pile falls on Señor, accompanied by the word "Sblounskched!" and the sound of a bowling ball hitting some pins. He sticks his arm out of the grapes.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' I still alive!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat, with Pom Pom in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I hear our friend The Robot is about to do a set of his acoustic numbers. Or should I say, unplugged?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises, salutes}''

''{The Cheat slides to the feet of The Robot, who is apparently plugged into an outlet on a very small section of wall out of nowhere.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{looks around, unplugs The Robot's cord, and slides away}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to The Robot, who shuts down and drops the pile of grapes. General sad "Aw"s among the crowd are heard as the eyes of The Robot disappear slowly.}''

''{Cut to Homestar, whose grapes appear to be floating in mid-air, due to his lack of visible arms.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around}'' Did nobody just see that?! Judge? Fairie? Giant bee?

''{Cut to The Grape Fairie and The Announcer, who are admiring the bowl and not paying attention to the contest.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Wilson gave me the golbol to my aunt in 1974.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Really quite an impressive bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Hellooo?

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Oh. Right.

''{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Crazy eights! ''{poofs another grape on top of everyone}''

''{Strong Bad begins to lose his grip on the grapes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat? Big help here! Big help!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.... Even it out there on the south side.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump her up.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously. At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat! ''{drops his grapes; walks over to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'' Could I just borrow this a second? ''{grabs The Cheat}''

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

''{Homestar kicks The Cheat about his feet like a hackysack, then does a slow-motion flip and bicycle kicks The Cheat off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wobbling, melodramatically}'' Oh-nooo!

''{Strong Bad drops a couple of grapes, then the entire pile crushes him. The action-pose scene appears, this time with a green grapes background, "squished bad", and Strong Bad under his pile of grapes.}''

''{Cut to Pom Pom}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pom Pom wins!

''{Pom Pom winks; a record scratch sounds, cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what?!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, still buried.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh.... These grapes are succulently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! ''{The pile of grapes begins to collapse as Strong Bad eats it}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the golbol.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously, Pom Pom. Gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises, pulls the golbol back a bit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's great. But I still won. I sportsmanliked everybody! Now gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, fine. You can give it to me for my birthday. Now check out my victory dance! Huhyayayayaaa!

''{Homestar crosses his left leg over his right and jumps into the air. The Grape Fairie and the Fat Bee enter from the upper right, the announcer from the lower left. Pom Pom jumps in the air holding the trophy. The scene fades into the last page of the Original Book with "1996-2006" written across the upper left. The ending also provides a link to the original book.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Strongestmanintheworld sbautograph.png|thumb|Dare to Dream!]]
*Clicking on the [[Contest]] sign when Homestar mentions getting Strong Bad's autograph will show a picture of said autograph, on which is written:
<blockquote>homestar, 
dare to dream! believe in yourself 
and you can achieve anything!! 
your pal 
Strond Ba.... 
wait a sec, 
2nd try: 
homestar, 
you're 
a butt. 
''Strong'' 
''Bad''</blockquote>

*Clicking the [[trophy]] at the end shows a shot of it (captioned "GOLBOL") in the same style as the ones shown when Mr. Bland, The Robot, Señor, and later "Squished Bad" are introduced. The [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] logo is shown in the background.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Unplugged" is a term popularized by [[Wikipedia:MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] and is used to refer to [[Wikipedia:Acoustic music|acoustic music]].
*Señor is the [[Spanish]] translation for "Mr.", explaining his accent.

===Trivia===
*The [[main page message]] for this toon read "10 years!".
*This toon is the first time the Grape Fairie, Mr. Bland, and Señor are given voices.
*Despite its attempt, this toon's page title is not the longest one of the website. [[Shopping for Danger]]'s page title "Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!" surpasses it by five characters. They are, however, both 19 syllables long.
*Señor's full name was coined in [[origins]].
*When Homestar [[Kicking The Cheat|kicks The Cheat]], he is utilizing a skill known as juggling, which is usually done with soccer balls or [[wikipedia:Footbag|footbags]] (commonly known as Hacky Sacks).

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his [[Wikipedia:Five o'clock shadow|five o'clock shadow]] disappears with it.
*Señor holds his pile of grapes on one side with the other half of the pile floating in mid-air. In the original book, he was holding the grapes with his right hand rather than his left.
*The way the grapes fall on Strong Bad, he should be lying on his stomach since he was holding the pile behind his head. However in the action scene, "squished bad," Strong Bad is shown lying on his back so that he could eat them in the next scene.
**Also, in the Original Story, when it shows Strong Bad squished under the pile of grapes, he was laying on his back.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.
*The characters are spotlighted, although there doesn't seem to be any place for there to be spotlights in the sky.
*When Señor is squished, it says [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]]
*The grapes appear to hover over Homestar's head.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.
* In the silhouette scene following Mr. Bland's loss, the grapes are actually floating above Pom Pom. However, this could just be in keeping with the original book, which has a similar silhouette scene.
*The first page says "Every''one'' loves The Homestar Runner..." instead of "Every''body'' loves The Homestar Runner...", which would have been the correct quotation from the original book.
*Strong Bad has no purple reflection on his pants, like his [[Strong Bad Evolution|fifth design]].
*When the screen darkens and the strobe lights appear, the ones that shine on the bushes in the background do not light up the ground directly below the bushes.
**Also, the lights do not deform to the depths of the bushes, although they could be 2 dimensional.
*In the last modern scene (the 'victory dance') and the scene immediately before it, it can be seen that the shadows on Pom Pom's 'limbs' do not properly align - each 'arm' is apparently affected by a different light source when this really shouldn't be happening.

===Inside References===
*The music heard in the background when Señor is "having a little trouble" is the same music heard in the email [[car]] when Homestar is "deleted" by Strong Bad.
*When Señor gets squished, the [[onomatopoeia]] used is "[[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|Sblounskched!]]", the name of Strong Bad's candy bar.
*The song during the training scene is "[[Songs#from Strong Bad Emails|Showdown]]" from [[montage]], except with vocals by someone who sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]].
*The outfit Homestar wears during the training scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].
*The autographed picture of Strong Bad in the Easter egg is the same as the one that Strong Bad gives to his "main man" Van Mundegaarde in [[2 years]].
*One of the [[sound effects]] that plays when the Robot gets unplugged is the loading sound from [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] and [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar's first speaking line and The Robot being introduced as such are examples of the [[integral article]].
*The ending music is the remix of the [[Old Intro|old intro music]], which is also heard at the end of [[flashback]] and can also be heard on [[Main Page 20]].
*The Announcer's introduction of Señor suggests that he is a resident of [[Far Off Lands|Foreign Lands]], the same place [[Thomas]] is said to be from.
*Pom Pom also winks in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], just before he gets hit by Strong Mad.
*It can be assumed from Homestar's "Let's tone down the language" line that when Strong Bad calls Pom Pom and Homestar "not very strong", Pom Pom replies using [[swears]].
*Pom Pom and Homestar give each other a high five despite [[Lack of Visible Arms|Homestar's lack of visible hands]].

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

'''MATT:''' This story is old!

'''MIKE:''' It's very old. This is, what, the ten-year anniversary, I think?

'''MATT:''' Tenured. Ten—

'''MIKE:''' Tenured track anniversary?

'''MATT:''' Uh-huh.

'''MIKE:''' I think it was a little off. I think we—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we realized it was really— we assumed it was in, like, August, but it was actually in June, I think?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Something like that. ''{pause}'' But it's all based on the original. Look at the background there. The gym, the wall there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And those weights— the way the weights look.

'''MATT:''' That scene was also immortalized in the Mario Paint — or just Homestar lifting weights—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —by himself — in the Mario Paint cartoon.

'''MATT:''' So, uh, this was kind of fun to make one of these competition cartoons after not making those kinds of cartoons for many years.

'''MIKE:''' And it was fun to try to get to sort of re-write it, and how they would act now about things.

'''MATT:''' Right. While being a little self-reflexive—

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' —where they have to sort of hit these points from the generic competition story line. ''{pause}'' What do you think— What do you think he— Did he drop an F-bomb just then, Pom-Pom, maybe? What do you think he said, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' He may have dropped an S-bomb.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Definitely dropped an S-bomb. ''{pause}'' Hey, Announcer!

'''MIKE:''' The Announcer — I think his graphics got re-done for this.

'''MATT:''' I think they did a little bit.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, and look! Very, uh, Alan-Parsons-Project-esque song here.

'''MATT:''' That was fun. ''{pause}'' It was fun to make those little splash screens for each character.

'''MIKE:''' That robot was a Craig Zobel—

'''MATT:''' What was—

'''MIKE:''' —product of Zobel.

'''MATT:''' What was Scottie Pippen's number, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Scottie Pippen's number?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

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

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Why?

'''MATT:''' I was going to be The Announcer, going to see a Bulls game.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh. Oh.

'''MATT:''' Bulls always came out to that Alan Parsons—

'''MIKE:''' Jordan was 23.

'''MATT:''' Well, right, I— I was going to go something more obscure, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughing}'' Pippen!?

'''MATT:''' Well, his number— you don't know his number and you're a big sports guy!

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's previous comment}'' Well, I can't—

'''MATT:''' Oh! ''{makes noises similar to Homestar Runner's line, "Dang, Pop-Pom, do you see that Golbol?"}'' ''{pause}'' Um, I like the direction— Everyone thinks, uh— the Wiki anyways, everyone— The Wiki thinks that's you, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' What, Mr. Bland?

'''MATT:''' Do your best impression of... that.

'''MIKE:''' I don't e— how— what did he say?

'''MATT:''' He said, "Uh, my name's Mike and I suck."

'''MIKE:''' ''{doing an impersonation of Mr. Bland}'' "Hello, my name—" Wait, what!?

'''MATT:''' Whoa!

'''MIKE:''' Gosh, you almost got me that time!

'''MATT:''' He's still alive, Mike! ''{pause}'' This is the most inconvenient, worst robot ever. It's like one of those robots from the 1920s World Fair where it's like, "It's a metal man! Thrill at the sounds of the metal man!"

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' And it has to be plugged in.

'''MATT:''' Uh... Mookie Wilson!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that gave that bowl to his gold— ''{laughing}'' to his gold aunt?

'''MATT:''' To his gold aunt! His golden aunt!

'''MIKE:''' Mookie Wilson. I think Mookie Wilson hit the— hit the famous ball that went through Bill Buckman's legs... in the World Series.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Red Sox, Mets. I think he hit it.

'''MATT:''' The curse?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You see? There— there's a little reference to the original dialoguer.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Doing some hacky sacking.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, totally. Oh, bicycle kick! Or, no. Is that a bicycle kick?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' A rainbow... kick— are they called that too, sometimes?

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

'''MATT:''' Umm, I like the direction we took with The Grape Fairie.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''MATT:''' That when he's not talking, he doesn't have a 5 o'clock shadow. But when he starts to talk—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing and over Matt's last line}'' It just appears when his mouth opens.

'''MATT:''' That voice can't not have a 5 o'clock shadow.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' If you sound like that, you're gonna— it's just gonna come out immediately. ''{pause}'' Huhyayayayaaa! I've always loved that victory dance. That's a total Craig Zobel drawing, right there, isn't it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Didn't he do that last drawing?

'''MIKE:''' He always would make Homestar's body look like a soup can.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He gave it the 3D style.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Bye, Craig.

'''MIKE:''' I got Craiged.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Scottie Pippen|Scottie Pippen]] and [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]] were players for the [[Wikipedia:Chicago Bulls|Chicago Bulls]]. Their jersey numbers (33 and 23, respectively) are two of only four currently retired by the Bulls.
*In the [[Wikipedia:1986 World Series|1986 World Series]], the Red Sox lost to the Mets in seven games, largely due to a fielding error in game six by Bill Buckner, when a ball hit by Mookie Wilson passed under his glove and between his legs. This was said by fans to be due to the "[[Wikipedia:Curse of the Bambino|curse of the Bambino]]", which prevented the Red Sox from winning a World Series since 1918. (The team won the World Series in 2004 and 2007, however.)
*[[Wikipedia:The Alan Parsons Project|The Alan Parsons Project]] was a British progressive rock band active from 1975 to 1990, founded by [[Wikipedia:Eric Woolfson|Eric Woolfson]] and [[Wikipedia:Alan Parsons|Alan Parsons]]. Their instrumental piece "Sirius," from their album [[Wikipedia:Eye in the Sky (album)|''Eye in the Sky'']], is used as the court-rushing music for the aforementioned Chicago Bulls, in addition to several other uses for other sports teams.

Talk:A Death Defying Decemberween

66.245.248.55 — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 06:07:25 GMT

66.245.248.55: /**/Calender Remark? 24

== Wisp of smoke ==
[[Image:Climber Wisp.PNG|thumb|150px|Smoke on the <strike>water</strike> mountain]]
I think that when Marzipan notes that Homestar Runner will be able to eat brunch with her at her parents' house, the small wisp of black smoke that rises from above his head resembles a climber on the mountain in the final frame before the smoke disappears. I may be hallucinating, though. Either way, time to sleep... -- [[User:Eb3686|eb3686]] | [[User talk:Eb3686|talk]] 09:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:Here's an image to help illustrate his point. While I can see where he gets the idea, I think it's a not-notable coincidence. It's not the first time they've used the "angry smoke" image, and the positioning is because Homestar just happens to be directly near the valley there. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

::Thanks for the image! I agree with you, but I thought that I'd point it out just in case so that everyone can decide on it. Yes, sleepy time needed. -- [[User:Eb3686|eb3686]] | [[User talk:Eb3686|talk]] 10:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== Father of six? ==
Is this meant to refer to Strong Bad Email and the sub-series? (Teen Girl Squad, Cheat Commandos, etc.)
:Wow. That's probably the biggest stretch I ever witnessed on a Wiki Talk page. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 17:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
::(insert fanfare) {{User:Neox/sig}}

== Trivia. ==

Someone put that it was the first time we see Homestar in long pants, but I deffinately recall seing him in long pants in Highschool.
:First time in long pants as... Homestar. He was wearing them in Highschool, but that was in Strong Bad's imagenation.
::That's quite nitpicky and not very fun a fact. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
He was wearing pants in montage, and kind of in yes, wrestling. [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 04:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:But again, the instances in Highschool, Montage, and yes, wrestling were all Strong Bad's creation. I think it could deserve attention. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 04:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
::[[Costume Commercial]]. [[Homestar Runner's Daisy Dukes]]. Like, every Halloween toon. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Daisy Dukes are short pants, but you're right about all the costumes. It could say it's the first instance of Homestar wearing long pants with the exception of the Halloween episodes, but that just seems way too wordy and obscure. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 04:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Smile for the cartoon, Strong Bad! ==

Is everyone here too... something...meh, whatever... to notice Strong Bad smiles twice in this toon? {{User:Neox/sig}} 15:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:[[Talk:Strong Bad Smiling#Limits?|Yes]]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 16:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
::I don't have a stake in the argument over whether to include SB smiling, but I have an issue here. I see that the edit has been removed at least twice with reference to the aforementioned talk page. Said talk page has only a handful of comments on the subject and no consensus on a cutoff date. Furthermore, the argument to cut off these comments should come from the article, not the article's talk page, should it not? It seems that edits are being removed without a solid reason given for doing so. [[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 17:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:::...In English, please? {{User:Neox/sig}} 22:04, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::::זה ''היה'' אנגלית. אני יכול לספר לך בעברית אם אתה רוצה... (That ''was'' english. I can tell you in Hebrew if you want...) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Steep deep ==

The way Steep Deep is made came to mind two possible references: either the climactic scene of [[Wikipedia:How_the_Grinch_Stole_Christmas!_(TV_special)|How The Grinch Stole Christmas TV special]] or the Cliffhanger game from [[Wikipedia:The Price Is Right|The Price Is Right]]. The former is more plausible, given the holiday theme. Thoughts? Broken glass? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:+1 for the Grinch. Homestar teetering over it on the sled is too much like the climax to be a coincidence imo
{{User:EhIhaventsignedupyetsorry}}

== Some Irrelevant Crap ==

Someone mentioned this on the forum: do the TV special parts w/ the piano, pipe, etc. seem like that Stephen Colbert christmas special that was on last month? I personally doubt it, More likely a parody of christmas specials in general, but hey, some o' you might think so. -{{User: Lifty Fernandez/sig}}
:They are clearly both mocking the concept of Holiday Specials, non-notable in my opinion. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 18:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:I think Homestar is wearing a cardigan, not a suit. That and the pipe make me think this could be a reference specifically to Bing Crosby. [[User:Sentroyd|Sentroyd]] 19:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
::I was pretty sure it was meant for Homestar to look like Mr. Rogers. {{User:Neox/sig}} 22:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:I thought it had refrences to the SC special too. Especially the "oh, I didn't see you there" part. [[Special:Contributions/76.28.156.79|76.28.156.79]] 20:15, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
::This is common to many spoofs of old-style celebrity specials. It is far more likely that SC and H*R are spoofing the same source than that H*R is spoofing the spoof. See the mid-1980s SNL skit with Eddie Murphy as Gumby in "Merry Christmas, D**mit!" It's the same format. The "Oh, I didn't see you there" line a common method of appearing "off the cuff."

== Previous Engagement = Prior Arrangement ==

I think it should be noted in the article that when Strong Bad translates the cheat as "previous engagement", he (or the Cheat) probably meant "prior arrangement". A previous engagement is something that has already happened, not something that is about to happen that the Cheat must attend.
:Nah.. "previous engagement" is fine. Here's [http://www.englishforums.com/English/Engagement/cjgvg/post.htm one source]. [[Special:Contributions/98.127.16.93|98.127.16.93]] 19:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== Again? ==

Hey, is it me, or are Homestar, Bubs, and Coach Z are all projecting very [[poor acting]] during the commercial? It's not on the toon's page and it's not on the bad acting page, but I'm too afraid to add it. Could anyone do that for me? {{User:Corruption/sig}} 22:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== "Chef" or "Seth"? ==

I believe he said "My compliments to the Seth". --Alex H. [[Special:Contributions/99.189.252.31|99.189.252.31]] 23:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:Sounds more like "fesh", though I'm still not at all sure. I can definately hear an s-ish sound at the end, and "fesh" would be "chef" backwards. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 00:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Sounds a lot like Seth to me, but the sound quality seems to degrade during that scene.
:::And the music kinda drowns out Homestar's word partially too. I can't tell either way. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::::I distinctly heard "Thes". That might be just me, though. [[USer:Tooty-Two|Tooty-Two]] 03:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::::: I heard "cef" as in "chef" with no "h" -[[Special:Contributions/70.245.222.179|70.245.222.179]] 03:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC) (ding-dang it, I keep forgetting to log in -Everybody!)
::::::The joke only makes sense if he's saying "Seth." Marzipan previously mentioned how Seth was bringing his friends from the philosophy dept. over. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 02:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Well, that assumes it's meant to be a joke. "Chef" would be the normal word to be used there. But that doesn't mean "chef" is the right word for the transcript; just the word that would normally fit into that sentence. Seth, I agree, is the only reasonable alternative. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Just my two cents on that, but before seeing the transcript, I heard "cess"... -Zero.exe

== Brunch at 12:30 a goof? ==

"Some people eat brunch late. Homestar does." --[[User:Alexie|Alexie]] 01:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
: If it's after 12:30, then as far as pretty much anyone would be concerned, it's lunch. If not dinner. The best argument against is that the brunch is actually the next day, or something like that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Or maybe it's just a joke. --[[User:Alexie|Alexie]] 05:21, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::: Pretty obscure (and unfunny) for a joke. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, that'd be pretty lame. It's probably just a teeny inconsistency (or is it?) (Glad it's in Remarks now.) --[[User:Alexie|Alexie]] 07:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Defying Death=Death? ==
When Homestar sleds down the steep deep, he doesn't attempt to "defy death". Instead, he is '''trying''' to kill himself so he doesn't have to see marzipan's relatives. I just thought I'd point that out... [[User:Tooty-Two|Tooty-Two]] 02:05, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
:Well, that's kinda' the joke. He's probably saying he will defy-death in hopes no one will catch on to his plot of trying to injure himself badly so that he won't have to go to Marzipan's parents' house. Also, "A Badly-Injuring Decemberween" isn't as appealing to the eye :) {{User:DevonM/sig}} 02:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, oh, oh! Now I see your logic. It does make a bit more sense...somewhat [[USer:Tooty-Two|Tooty-Two]] 02:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

isnt Marzipan's dad the KOT?
: That was the original plan, but it's been retconned out of existence. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

== Pom Pom ==

Anyone notice that Pom pom and coach Z are throwing snow outside the "window" on the sound stage... just thought I'd mention it since I didn't see it anywhere. [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 15:21, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
: nm.. i see it mentioned that it's Bub's hand, though the first time I saw it, I thought it was Pom Pom's hand.. he must be out ladying this decemberween [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 15:23, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

== He didn't... did he? ==

This is just a thought here, but I thought the whole "variety show" segment seemed a lot like Mr. Rogers... especially the outfit. I mean, look at [http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:t597CthFcxFmwM:http://hunternuttall.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mister-rogers.jpg this] picture. There's definitely some similarity there...
-Zero.exe [[Special:Contributions/24.91.33.102|24.91.33.102]] 20:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

== Calender Remark? 24 ==

Just like to remark that the Calender in the toon says its the 24th, but the toon was released on the 22nd (which I found rather humorous when I watched it on Monday to see that it was now the future!).--[[Special:Contributions/66.245.248.55|66.245.248.55]] 06:07, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

==Homestar and Homestar==
Now, does this count as an instance of [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's relationship]]? The two interact, but unlike the usual gag, there are actually two of them. Notably, the "real" Homestar appears not to recognize the second... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Tail end of sounds ==

When I view the button events, the beginning of the next button's sound plays at the end. Is this only happening to me? I tried reloading and it didn't work. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 09:17, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
:It's a glitch with certain versions of flash player, happens all the time. Not notable. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Puppets ==

Isn't the Store puppet the one from that easter egg? (Sorry, forget the email.)
:Yes. As the fun facts say, "The second Homestar that appears was previously seen in [[strong badathlon]]." --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 11:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Homsar's James ==

Shouldn't somebody mention that Homsar pronounced "games" on his homepage the same way that Marshie does here?
:The mispronunciation of G is noted and its link references Homsar's pronunciation, so I don't think it's necessary. --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]][[User_talk:Mini-Geek|t]] [[Special:Contributions/Mini-Geek|c]] 14:53, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Unimpressive ==

So, is anyone else unimpressed by this new Main Page? - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 11:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
:This isn't the forums. [[User:Sarette|Sarette]] 15:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
::It is now. Oh, and thanks. I'll keep that in mind. -- 10:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== Little Extras ==

Don't know how to add this, so I'll post it here.

Homestar bounces to the beat of Everybody Knows it when Toons is rolled over.

He also trembled when he sees Marshie in Games.

:Done.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 00:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

== Day Trivia? ==
Does anyone think its noteworthy that this main page was released August '''25''', and Main Page 24 was released July '''24'''. Coincidence? Probably. But noteworthy? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
:Not unless they were ALL like that. they weren't. two doesn't make a pattern. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
::Maybe they're starting a trend. Keep it in mind and see if they do it with the next few main pages.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 00:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

== Main Page 25 Button ==

The buttons that say 1, 2, 3, etc. all show up except 25. Where's 25?? {{User:The thing/sig}} 21:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
: Check your cache. (Unless you're looking at main page 23 - the 25 button actually '''doesn't''' appear there.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Doesn't work on firefox? ==

It seems to work fine with ie but not ff? I have a new pc computer. --soce 23:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

When you slide your mouse over "e-mail" after the animation homestar jumps a bit - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 13:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
:That's because he was in a different position at the end of the "Email" animation than he was at the start of the Main Page (frame 1). TBC programmed the animation to go back to frame 1 after the animation ended. He does that for most of the animations, too.
::I'm aware that's why, but usually the character ends in the same place they started making the transition seamless - {{User:Wecannotbesaved/sig}} 22:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah. I just noticed that, too. They must've changed a few of them since I first saw the page. I think its remarkable, now. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 23:29, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== Wii broswer glitches ==

Should we mention the glitches when this is view on Wii browsers, like we did on [[Main Page 24]]? - [[User:OkayGraphics|OkayGraphics]] 22:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
:I would say yes. Same would go for [[Somber Vacation]] too, I think. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 22:09, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
::Incompatibility due to an out of date version hardly seems like a glitch to me. There was no error made. That's like saying a program made for Windows Vista has a glitch because it doesn't work in Windows 3.1 --[[Special:Contributions/99.160.59.118|99.160.59.118]] 21:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

::Yes, the second Homestar was definitely voiced by Mike. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

==What Deauxregaurd says==

I hear Laidy, so perhaps it's "lady". [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 05:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
:It's clearly "whitey". Y'know, coz Homestar's white. It wouldn't be the [[lackey|first time he's referred to him as such]], either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

When the alternate Puppet Homestar leaves you can still see part of his hat for 2 seconds. Or 1. Or a split second. [[Roboblob|Roboblob]] 13:57, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
:Which is it? 2, or 1 or a split second? (just for the record, i played that part frame by frame and i see nothing. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
::He's right. But it doesn't look the same when you do play it frame by frame. For some reason, the actionscript in the page must be taking a bit longer to gotoAndStop frame 1 of the page. That's just my guess. It's just easier to notice when just played regularly. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 18:36, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Then it seems like a flash glitch and totally unremarkable. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:04, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

== Is it just me? ==

Something keeps bugging me when I look at this Main Page. It doesn't look like they filmed the puppets with a video camera and then integrated the footage into the file. It looks like they took photos of the puppets with a digital camera in different poses, and then animated everything in Flash simply by moving and swapping between the photos. For example, The Cheat just flicks between two different positions every two frames. Does this still mean that the [[Doreauxgard]] puppet exists? They could have just taken a picture of a cantaloupe and then animated it to make it look like a puppet. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, that's how they made those animations. And the puppet definitely exists. As you can see, they took pictures of it ;) But yeah, it looks like an actual cantaloupe is part of the puppet.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 15:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

== Bug in the Game ==

As of approximately 1AM EST 12/1/08, there's a bug in the game that makes it unbeatable. Even after completing all three of the tasks on the case file, Strong Bad still won't pick up the case file from the bulletin board. In addition, I currently have 185/170 points. --[[User:Pixelated|Pixelated]] 05:59, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:Yep, I've found that myself. If you go over the score limit, you can't get the file. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
::I don't know if they've fixed it, but I had no problem getting the file with 175 points. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 06:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:::On closer inspection, I'm wondering if the bug is simply in the order the evidence is placed in the folder. If you don't do the stamp last, it doesn't finish. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 11:42, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
::::I did the stamp first. Worked just fine.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:44, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::I stamped, then did the photo then the vomit and grabbed the 2nd rubber stamp. Won't let me finish :( --[[Special:Contributions/58.28.153.121|58.28.153.121]] 11:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::::On the same note, it doesn't matter how many points you have. First playthrough I put the bag of upchuck last and the game continued even though I had exactly 170 points. [[Special:Contributions/145.99.155.53|145.99.155.53]] 13:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::: I did the whoozit last. And I had 185 points. Worked just fine. It may be that they fixed it, but it worked for me. I did it at 6:00 PM. Maybe they fixed it.
:::::::::Looking at the Flash file in Firefox, it said the game was last modified "Mon, Dec 1, 2008 6:09:27 PM", so the Brothers Chaps must have fixed something in the game since it came out. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Japanese Characters? ==
A friend of mine just verified that they are Katakana. Thanks, Tess!

*As Far as I'm concerned, the katakana onomatopoeia that shows up is "KIKKU"(kick)

== Inspiration? ==

This reminds me of Sam & Max Hit the Road, & not just the opening scene. Anyone else think so?
:No. It just reminda me of the generic gumshoe genre in general. Heh, aliteration. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 07:56, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Renaldo? ==

Maybe I'm just missing something... but where exactly in the game does [[Renaldo]] appear? He's in the cast list, but I just don't remember seeing him or there being any obvious lines from him. (Note that one line, namely "Hey! Don't discount my gams! I'm on the stairmaster all the time!" sounds very much like a Coach Z-ism, rather than something The Chief, WHO SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS OTHERWISE, would say, but this is just speculation on my part.) -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:52, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
:He's in the opening cutscene. You'll only see him if you don't click the mouse button before the title comes up. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 07:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
::Ahh, I see now. Thanks. -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:58, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Movement stickiness ==
Anyone else notice movement stickiness when you hold down a direction? This issue was in Hugo's House of Horrors and I think Monkey Island, both being similar games to this. Coincidence?
:Probably not. It's fairly common in parser-based games, or games using the keyboard to navigate. Hitting a direction key starts the character moving in that direction, hitting it again causes the character to stop. Holding it causes the character to alternate between moving and halting, causing stickiness. I don't think it's a reference as much as it's just the way that these types of games work. It's not exclusive to Monkey Island or Hugo's House of Horrors or anything; you can observe it in King's Quest and a number of other games. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 11:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
::'''Edit conflict:''' Likely a coincidence. It works the same in [[Peasant's Quest]] — your character moves with a single press of the button, and continues without you having to do anything. Basically, holding the key sends the "move in said direction" command multiple times, resulting in the so-called "stickiness". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 11:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Yet another bug. ==

Okay, this what happened. I stamped the casefile so the "s" in solved was cut off. The game went to the jail ending. Then, when I redo it, Dangeresque says the case has already been solved. What's up wit dat? Didn't I win, technically?--[[User:Not Dennis|ND]] 21:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Loading... ==

All I've got is a loading screen. {{User:The thing/sig}} 21:16, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

:The same thing happened to me. Just try using the flash file (.swf). Still, does anyone know why this happened? - [[User:Jezzamon|Jezzamon]] 06:18, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

== Jay ==

Would it be worth noting somwhere on here that this was featured at Jayisgames?
http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/12/dangeresque_roomisode_1_behind_the_dangerdesque.php

maybe, like on the sightings page or something.

It wouldn't be the first time they've featured homestar content, having also done thy dungeon man 3 and peasant's quest.

== No more infinite points? ==

I tried the glitch where you get infinite points, but it didn't work... so have they removed the glitch, or is it something at my end? - [[User:Jezzamon|Jezzamon]] 06:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
*Yes, it does seem like they fixed this glitch. Apparently, it involved the game generating a new dry stamp if you, for some reason, no longer had one in your inventory - and inking the stamp effectively took it out of your inventory. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 08:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

== Or IS it a reference? ==

When you get a Game Over, Strong Bad is heard saying, "Or ''did'' I?" and you continue from before you screwed up, as opposed to starting from the beginning or from a save file. Is this a reference to any particular graphic adventure video game of the '90s, particually by LucasArts? I know that in ''Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'', the Prince is heard saying, "No, wait, that didn't happen. May I start again?", but this knowledge of mine is just from Wikipedia and the only relevant game I've played is ''Day of the Tentacle''. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 15:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
: More likely to be a reference to the end line of [[The_theme_from_DANGERESQUE_II:_This_time%2C_it%27s_not_Dangeresque_I|the Dangeresque theme song]]. Also, The [[Dangeresque:_Puppet_Squad|puppet squad]] toon ends with Shark Tooth Bubs saying "Or did you?" - [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 21:20, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
:It was a Lucasarts tradition to make games where one could not die from a wrong move. Famously, Monkey Island II is a story told by Guybrush, and when one dies, they cut to Elaine saying that that is clearly a lie, since he is hanging here, and we move to a point right before the error. So, it is a reference to Lucasarts games in general. Several games had such a "Wait, back up" feature. [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 23:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

== Dialogue? ==

Is the dialogue between Strongbad and the Chief (and Strongbad and other ahem objects) going to be added to the page? --[[Special:Contributions/66.245.248.55|66.245.248.55]] 03:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Which e-mail is your favorite? Mine is "[[the basics]]". Shang-a-lang-a- ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was wondering what you're doing 
for Labor Day. 
 
Your friend, 
Chrispy 
Schenectady, NY</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Woah! Is today Labor Day?! Well I'm certainly not gonna answer an email! I'ma take the day off. Wow. All of the sudden it's like the world is my place where I don't have to answer an email. Think I'll go sit on my cooler next to The Stick and say stuff to people as they walk by. ''{stops typing}'' Now that's what I call the ol' Labor-Dabor.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting on top of his cooler next to The Stick. The cooler sports a handmade "labor dabor" sign. Enter Pom Pom with snack tray, bouncing along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Pom Pom, man, it's Labor Day. Why don't you get a life?

''{Pom Pom makes bubbling noises and exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy needs to get a life for real. Like me! I got a great life! Chillin' with my cooler at The Stick, sayin' stuff to people.

''{The Poopsmith enters with jar of BROWN MAYO.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice stench there, buddy. Smellin' ''real'' nice. I give you an A+ on smell. Or rather, you get an A+ on smellin' like crap. And a solid F- on smellin' any good.

''{Poopsmith exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy doesn't smell ''any'' good.

''{Coach Z enters with a six pack of which only one can of Coldson Lite remains.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if it isn't Coach Z. Good ol'.. green Coach Z. Hey, I always wondered, is your skin green or are you wearing a green body suit? Y'know with footies and sockies.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I got footies alright — athlete's footies!

''{Coach Z exits, The King of Town enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, the self-proclaimed King of Town. Like ''you'' aren't an easy target for my witty jibes and clever put-downs. Whatever will I say?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Do you have anything relatively edible in that cooler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. You're fat. High-five, The Stick!

''{Strong Bad high-fives the stick and a piece of The Stick breaks off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Sorry, The Stick.

''{King of Town exits, Strong Mad and The Cheat enter with a pair of badminton racquets.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! The two guys. Strong Mad and The Cheat. The guys in which one of them is really big and the other is really small. Nice contrast, there, guys! ... That's all I got.

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat exit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, this is shaping up to be one heck of a Labor-Dabor. Hey, The Stick, you want a burger?

''{Cut to Labor Day party tableau with the whole gang except Strong Bad and Homsar -- Homestar Runner's "[[Everybody Knows It]]" is playing in the background.}''

'''BUBS:''' This here's the best Labor Day BBQ I ever been BB-to.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I wonder why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Has anyone seen Strong Bad? I sent him an invitation.

'''STRONG SAD''': Maybe it got "da-leet-ed".

''{Strong Sad smiles ever so slightly. Everybody else laughs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That's a good one Strong Sad.

'''COACH Z''': ''{laughing}'' Oh, gee, life of the pratty.

'''BUBS''': Three cheers for Strong Sad!

''{Cut to Strong Bad laying on the cooler next to The Stick, which has a burger stuck on top of it. The broken-off part of The Stick is sticking out of the top of the burger.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, The Stick, how's your burger? Sorry about that high-five thing. ''{mumbles something}'' I'm gonna go check my e-mail.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on Chrispy's name to see the [[Schenectady Crispies]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]].
*To see what is inside Strong Bad's cooler, click on the cooler when the King of Town comes by and mentions the cooler.
*At the end, click on the "Labor Dabor" sign to hear Homestar sing "Everybody Knows It."
*To see a "Schenectady Crispies" commercial starring Strong Bad, click on his Diamond.

''{Strong Bad is standing in a kitchen, behind a table with a box of Schenectady Crispies on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Schenectady Crispies are so freaking good, they taste twice! Once in your mouth, and once in your...esophagus! ''{the following words appear on the bottom of the screen}'' I hope I don't get caught!

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*When this email was initially released, none of the characters except for Strong Mad and The Cheat were carrying anything to the party. Pom Pom's platter, Coach Z's [[Cold One|Coldson Lite]], and the other items were added after a day or so.
*The part of the Stick that breaks off was never seen before this cartoon. Naturally, it hasn't been seen since, either.

===Remarks===
*In this email, Strong Bad reveals that his favorite email is [[the basics]]. Yet this was never mentioned in [[personal favorites]]. This is also contrary to [[your friends]] in which he said it was "the best E-mail I ever received."
*Strong Bad pronounces [[Wikipedia:Schenectady|Schenectady]] incorrectly during the email (with a "sh" sound) but pronounces it correctly (with a "sk" sound) in the Easter egg for Schenectady Crispies.

===Inside References===
*The pen in the cooler is a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*The bug inside the cooler with the marker is [[Gavin]] the cockroach, who originally appeared in [[personal favorites]].

===Fast Forward===
*The song "[[Everybody Knows It]]" later became a [[Puppet Stuff]] Video.
*Coach Z's Coldson Lite later appears in [[Happy Fireworks]].
*The box of Schenectady Crispies later appears in [[the bet]].
