'''Page Title:''' Peasant's Quest

== Instructions ==
*Look around by typing "look".
*Talk to others by typing "talk".
*Take items by typing "get (item)".
*Use items by typing "use (item)". You can also "throw (item)", "give (item)","look (item)", and some other action words.
*Type "inv" to see your inventory.
*Type "save" to save your game and "load" to load a game. ([[Wikipedia:HTTP_cookie|Cookies]] must be enabled.)
*Press + or - to speed up or slow down your character.
*Type "ask about (name)" to gather information from other characters.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*On July 18th, 2005, Peasant's Quest received a "Top Dog" award from [http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=5243 Home of the Underdogs].
*The commands "make friends with Kerrek" and "buy Kerrek a cold one" were added after the e-mail [[for kids]] was released.
**The command "make friends with Kerrek" brings up a message which says, "Look, it didn't work for Strongbad and it's not going to work for you, either", even though Strong Bad has made it very apparent that his name is two different words.
*On January 16th, 2006, Peasant's Quest was made into a [http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/games/ratherdashing.html Dashboard Widget] for Mac OSX. The link doesn't appear to work anymore, however.

===Remarks===

*When the Kerrek is in the area with his footprints, he isn't making any.
*There's a link in the upper left black area, but it does nothing.

===Goofs===
*Even after you've picked up the map, typing "look ground" will have the game tell you it's still there.
*If you type "where" on the screen above the Mountain Pass, you'll see that it has no name.
*Typing "look" on [[Poor Gary]]'s screen will still say "rotten ol' horse" even after he's fled.
*If you talk to the knight while on fire but have not gotten the belt, the knight will fail to acknowledge the fact that you are on fire.
*If you get [[Kerrek]]'s belt after getting on fire, the animation of getting the belt won't show you on fire.
*Typing "use" something, even gibberish, in the half of the lake where the old man was fishing will result the phrase "You already fed the fish. Let's get moving here people!"
*After you give [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby lady]] the riches and she gives you the baby and leaves, if you type "talk to baby" inside the house, the game will still tell you the baby responds by blowing snot bubbles.
*After saying 'haldo' to [[Dongolev]], it says, "the archer stops arching," even though you can still hear and see him firing arrows in the background.

===Glitches===
[[Image:PQvanishingRD.PNG|thumb|Hidden behind the door]]
[[Image:Pqglitch_babylady_rain.png|thumb|Anyone feel a draft?]]
*If you walk straight up to the Jhonka's door, you will disappear, except for one leg.
*A strange mapping bug allows you to "warp" to the baby lady's house and the inn from another screen entirely. Walk into where you would go to the hidden glen, but go up through the fence and to the left.
*On the screen containing [[Jhonka]]'s Cave, walk into the bottom left corner and you'll end up in the inn, however you'll only be able to walk along the bottom and right sides of the screen.
*Standing behind the "INN" sign while standing as close as possible to the inn itself will cause part of Rather Dashing to appear in front of the sign.
*If you fail the quiz from one of the three keepers of Trogdor, instead of loading a game, just click on RESTART on the load menu after Game Over. Skip the game's intro and then press any key. This will once again bring up the question you answered wrong while you're standing by the knight at the entrance of Trogdor's cave. Answering the question wrong again just gets you another Game Over, answering right makes the box disappear, but every time you try to move or press any other key, the question comes up again, and you will be stuck until you answer the question wrong.
*After you kill the Kerrek, go into either the baby cottage or the inn. It will rain inside.
*It is possible to fall in the mud, hide in the hay, and steal Jhonka's riches all before it stops raining. If you go back to the mud puddle, it will be dried up as though the rain has stopped (even though rain is still clearly falling).
*In the Baby Lady Cottage, if you open up the inventory and select the Supertime Funbow, a small blue square will appear to the left of the screen.
*On the Game Over screen, hit Enter twice and the death animation will start over. This also works for any point after pressing RESTART, including the "tips for <s>morons</s> beginners" screen and the intro afterwards.
*After typing "use sword" in Trogdor's inner sanctum, walk right for an interesting glitch. Even though Rather Dashing's graphic is locked in place, he will get burninated even though he is nowhere near Trogdor. The fire will come from Trogdor's neck instead of his nose.
*In Trogdor's Lair, you will hear a tune. Keep typing "load game" and it will keep repeating.
*If you type "get mask" at the well after placing the pebbles in the bucket, but before getting the Monster Maskus, you will not get the mask and will be unable to get it through any means.
*If you put the baby in the bucket, but do not turn the handle, then you can type "put baby in bucket" and get more points again and again.
*As soon as you start the game, type "save" and when you click on your loaded game, you will be in Trogdor's lair.
*If you enter Trogdor's outer sanctum and then try to leave, you get teleported back inside, but if you type something and press enter before getting teleported you can walk around the cliff (w/TrogShield, TrogSword, and TrogHelmet).
*Typing "open" when near the hut or inn will always make you go straight to the door, even through the hut or inn.

=== Inside References ===
*When you ask the knight about the Kerrek, the Knight says he'll make "milks meat" out of you. This is a reference to the email [[kids' book]], where Strong Bad makes "milks meat" out of Homestar and Pom Pom in the [[Strumstar Hammer]] version of the [[Original Book]] in the Easter egg.
*Sometimes, when you jump in to the hay bale (after being covered with mud), it says you jump in like a "two years old boy." This is a reference to [[Main Page 15]].
*The screen title "River b/w Tree" is another reference to [[b/w]]. 
*If you try to jump in the left side of the lake, it responds, "Not so fast, Swimmer [[Dan]]!"
*When you reach the top of the mountain, it says, "Nice jorb climbing the cliff," which is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]], as well as [[Coach Z]]'s accent in general.
*[[Jhonka]] is from the e-mail [[impression]].
*[[Kerrek]] is from the e-mail [[interview]].
*At the bale of hay, if you type "Get hay", it makes a reference to [[Thy Dungeonman]] and [[Thy Dungeonman II]] by saying, "Who do you think you are, some kind of Thy Dungeonman?"
**There is another Thy Dungeonman reference if you "look jhonka."
**When you type in "die" it says "That wasn't very smart," another reference to Thy Dungeonman.
*If you type in "get plague" at the burned out tree, the game calls you Mispeller Jones [''sic''], a reference to the "Interruptor Jones" quip from [[morning routine]].
**This command is also a reference to Thy Dungeonman II, where it played an integral role in winning the game.
*After killing the Kerrek the screen says "ARROWED!! Nice shot. You smote the Kerrek! He lay there stinking." ''Arrowed!'' is a running joke used in [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[TROGDOR!]].
*If you return to the corpse of the Kerrek and type "kill Kerrek," it says "Yeah. You smote the Kerrek. You deserve a trophy full of Mutton-ums." This is a reference to the toon [[New Boots]], where [[Strong Bad]] claims [[The Cheat]] could have earned a trophy full of Steak-ums.
*If you type anything with the word CHEAT, it says "Meh." This is a popular sound that [[The Cheat]] makes.
*Much of the text in the game echoes Strong Bad's style of speech, such as the quote, "Behold the TrogShield! No seriously, behold it."

=== Real-World References ===
====Other Video Games====
*Several screens as well as the main character's appearance are taken directly from ''[[Wikipedia:The Black Cauldron (video game)|The Black Cauldron]]''.
*The filename of the game is disk4of12.html, a nod to old PC games which were often distributed on multiple floppy disks and which prompted the player to insert the next disk at certain points during installation or gameplay.
*Starting from the Hidden Glen screen, turn left as you exit through the hole in the fence. This allows you enter the screen "located" above the Hidden Glen, which turns out to be the interior of the Baby Lady Cottage. Entering the cottage in this manner changes the way you interact with your surroundings, allowing you to walk through walls, and even walk an indeterminate distance off the edge of the screen. Possibly this is not an error, but rather a reference to [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari's]] old ''[[Wikipedia:Adventure_(Atari_2600)|Adventure]]'' game, in which you could peer off the edge of one screen into another, and enter a secret room which is said to be the first instance of an "Easter egg" in a game.
*When you smite the Kerrek, it'll first say, "Here goes, Kid Icarus". This is a reference to a [[Nintendo]] game of the same name: ''[[Wikipedia:Kid Icarus|Kid Icarus]]'', in which your main weapon is a bow.
*Typing "light lantern" is a reference to the text-based ''[[Wikipedia:Zork|Zork]]'' series, in which you always carried a Brass Lantern, and which is parodied in Thy Dungeonman.
**It is also a reference to King's Quest IV, where one of the items you get is a lantern.
*Naked Ned popping in and out from the tree is similar to [[Wikipedia:Smoke (Mortal Kombat)|Smoke]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Mortal Kombat II|Mortal Kombat II]]'' in the living forest level, where you would occasionally see him pop out, look, and return behind the tree.
*The noise you hear when the disk read error occurs is very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Commodore 64|Commodore 64]] disk drive, for when the drive is trying to load a disk, it sometimes loses its place where it was loading and made a loud clicking noise.
*Using the baby at the hole of the mysterious cabin brings up a message "Deploying Q-Baby...", which is probably a reference to the [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] video games. In those games, the player uses a remote control Q-Spider to crawl through small holes.
*The three questions that are asked to you are a reference to the PC game ''[[Wikipedia:Dungeon (computer game)|Dungeon]]'', in which the dungeon master asked you 3 questions about the game
*If you talk to the [[The Red and Blue Knights|Blue Knight]] after acquiring both the belt and the robe but before getting set on fire, he [[Peasant's Quest Responses#belt_and_robe|calls you]] "Dirk the Daring", the main character of ''[[Wikipedia:Dragon's Lair|Dragon's Lair]].''
*The loading screen is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Space_Quest_III: The Pirates of Pestulon|Space Quest III]]'', in which it showed a picture of the game's creators trying to console you about dying.

====King's Quest Series References====

*The game itself is a parody of the Sierra On-Line games ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:The Black Cauldron (video game)|The Black Cauldron]]''.
*The inn is similar to the fisherman's cottage in King's Quest IV.
*The three tasks you must complete are a reference to the three items you must acquire in King's Quest I.
*The Kerrek is based on the Ogre in King's Quest I
*The name of the land, "Peasantry", is a reference to "Daventry", the kingdom from ''King's Quest''.
*Trogdor being in this game references the dragon who guards the mirror in King's Quest I.
*The well is based on the well in King's Quest I that leads to the dragon's lair.

====Legend of Zelda References====

*When you obtain the Kerrek's belt, Rather Dashing holds it over his head in a fashion similar to Link of ''The Legend of Zelda''.
*The save screen may be a reference to the old [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|''Legend of Zelda'']] games in format, the addition of hearts through progress, and the addition of artifacts that are added to your body (shield, helmet, sword).

====Music====
*If you type "look" near the hay, it says, "It reminds you of a warm, safe place where as a child you'd hide," a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Sweet Child O' Mine|Sweet Child O' Mine]]'' by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].
*Looking at the rock in the middle of the river gives a reference to ''Rock of Ages'' by [[Wikipedia:Def Leppard|Def Leppard]].
*When you scare Poor Gary it says he "broke on through to the other side," a reference to ''Break on Through'' by [[Wikipedia:The Doors|The Doors]].
*Hugging the tree at the hay bale produces a reference to a well-known [[Wikipedia:The Byrds|Byrds]] song. However, once you do this you seem to get stuck. Pressing the down key will remedy this.
*If you look at the cracked ground, it says something about it being a place in which rock stars make amazing guitar solos — a reference to [[Wikipedia:Slash (musician)|Slash's]] solo on ''November Rain'' by Guns N' Roses.

====TV/Movies/Comic Books====
*At the bale of hay, type "look tree". It says, ''[[IMDb:0074697|It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown]],'' a 1976 ''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]'' TV special.
*When you first talk to the knight guarding the mountain pass, he calls you ''Dragonheart'', a reference to [[IMDb:0116136|the movie]] of the same name.
*If you try to get the pebbles but are too far away, it says, "You try to do your best Mr. Fantastic impression." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]].
*If you go to the screen with "River b/w Tree" and type "look hut" or "look cottage", it says, "You see a cottage in the distance. You hold your fingers up to one eye and pretend to squash it." This is a reference to the Head-Crusher sketch on ''[[Wikipedia:The Kids in the Hall|Kids in the Hall]]''.
*If you try to give the Jhonka something he'll reply with, "Don't need nothing from no filthy peasantses!!" This is a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]'' character [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]], whom Jhonka somewhat resembles.
*After jumping in the hay the game comments you look like "that guy from that one show", a reference to Cousin Itt from ''[[Wikipedia:The Addams Family|The Addams Family]]'' who looked like a walking hay bale.
*If you type "drink", you'll get a message about how you don't need to drink, concluded with "So you got that going for you. Which is nice." This comes from Carl Spackler in the film ''[[Wikipedia:Caddyshack|Caddyshack]]''.
*If you talk to the [[The Red and Blue Knights|Blue Knight]] after acquiring the belt, you [[Peasant's Quest Responses#belt_only|call him]] "[[Wikipedia:Matthew Broderick|Matthew Broderick]]", a popular actor.

====Other====
*Typing "throw baby" at the west screen of the lake returns the message, "I guess you misread the walkthrough at GameFAQs..." [[Wikipedia:GameFAQs|GameFAQs]] is a popular gaming website known for its huge number of walkthroughs or FAQs for just about every game there is ([http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/online/game/922153.html including Peasant's Quest])
*When you look at the painting in the inn, it says that there are dogs playing "Magic: The Nerdening". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|''Magic: the Gathering'']] card game, as well as to the stereotype of ''Magic''-players as being antisocial nerds. The painting itself is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cassius Marcellus Coolidge|C. M. Coolidge's]] series of nine oil paintings featuring dogs playing poker, as well as the follow-up painting "Looks Like Four of a Kind".
*If you try to "scare gary" before getting the mask, two of the three possible responses are references. The first ("You tell Gary the story about the kid who pops this big zit he has and all these baby spiders come out. It doesn't phase him.") is a reference to an urban legend, as is the second ("You tell Gary the "THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!" one but he doesn't act very scared. He's probably heard it before."), which was made into the 1979 horror movie ''[[IMDb:0080130|When a Stranger Calls]]''.
*Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M.
*The berries on the bushes are called "[[Wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|Crunch Berries]]." This is a reference to the [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]] of the same name.
*Trying to jump in the hay from far away will cause a reply which includes a usage of the initials MJ. This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]], a basketball player who had an incredible vertical jump, and was able to dunk the ball from the foul line, which is several feet away.
*Looking at the rocking chair after the baby lady leaves will get you a message saying "One of those self-rocking kind. Not bad for a brown-collar peasant-type. Must be trickle-down in action." This may be a reference to trickle-down economics; part of [[Wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]]'s economic plan for the United States was based on the theory that allowing those with the most economic influence (businesses and the upper-class) to flourish would "trickle down" and benefit the rest of the economy in the form of increased spending, saving, and investment. Therefore, according to the trickle-down theory, given fair market conditions, the best way to enhance overall economic health is to concentrate economic benefits on those with the most economic influence.
**Furthermore, "brown-collar" is a reference to white- and blue-collar jobs, referring to office work and manual labor, respectively. There is no brown collar, but it can only be assumed it represents whatever brown-robed peasants do.
*When Trogdor first wakes up, Rather Dashing wishes he had some "Depeasent Underwear". This is a reference to Depends Underwear.
*When the game is loading, it is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Apple_II#Apple_IIe|Apple IIe]] booting with the screen saying "v1.8" (all that is readable) and the [[Population: Tire]] Loading screen.
*The Apple IIe in the loading screen (along with its disk drives) are on the [[Videlectrix]] Home Page.
*If you talk to the [[The Red and Blue Knights|Blue Knight]] after acquiring the robe but before acquiring the belt, he begins [[Peasant's Quest Responses#robe_only|his response]] by saying, "My dear Adso", an allusion to the main character's apprentice in ''[[Wikipedia:The Name of the Rose|The Name of the Rose]]'', which is in turn a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Sherlock Holmes|Sherlock Holmes]] stories.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Dah doh, doo doh, email me some words, doo-doo, some different words.

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
 
I think you should make Homestar say 
stupid stuff, his voice is hilarious! 
 
Sincerely, 
Kevin Grumbles</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad just mumbles instead of saying the word "Grumbles" throughout the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you don't really have to MAKE Homestar say stupid stuff, Grumbles, that's the guy's bread n' butter. Or at least his, uh, cracker n' mustard. No, the REAL challenge is to get Homestar to say something intelligent. ''{He clears the screen and continues typing.}'' If I can do that, then you owe me a batch of your special Grumblecakes. And if I fail, then I'll quit stealing the bricks from your house, one by one. ''{quickly}'' Deal? Deal.

''{Strong Bad goes to get up from his chair and Homestar Runner is leaning over his shoulder.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quietly}'' Hi, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{surprised}'' Ah, geez! Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, do you notice anything different about me today?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, you broke into my house?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm always doing that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apparently unperturbed}'' Okay, what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing on one foot}'' I'm standing on one foot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, great. Look, I'll give you half a Grumblecake if you can say something intelligent.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's like a little cake with some, like, steam and sugar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, the other one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, "intelligent"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, Intellivision.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, something smart.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I can do that. ''{attempts to look shifty and cunning}'' What's in it for me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Half a Grumblecake!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Okay, here goes—

'''STRONG BAD:''' No wait, put this stuff on. It'll add to the illusion.

''{Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner a white lab coat, black-rimmed glasses with masking tape, and a test tube. Homestar uses the test tube as if it was a microphone and he was interviewing Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, check me out, Strong Bad, I look a-smart!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You sure do, stupid. Now say something.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{smugly} And'' I'm standing on one foot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{urging}'' Come on, say something smart! You can do it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Science!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, that's pretty good. Keep going!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Science again! I said science again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's move away from science. Try math.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Plus two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, this isn't going—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hundred!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans}'' I need to get my hands on some of them Grumblecakes! Maybe if I employ a little reverse psychologies... If I ask a stupid enough question, I'll get an intelligent answer! ''{clears throat}'' I say there, Homestar, butt's twelve by pies?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, yes! I got Strong Bad to say something stupid! ''{triumphantly}'' The Grumblecakes will be mine!

''(Homestar runs off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! What the crap just happened?! Is it possible that I was just... ''outsmarted'' by Homestar Runner?! ''{typing, shouting, and raising his fist}'' I'LL GET YOU KEVIN GRUMBLES!!!

''{The Cheat enters with a tray of The Cheatcakes.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get that mess outta here! I don't want none o' those Cheatcakes!

''{Strong Bad smacks the tray of The Cheatcakes out of The Cheat's hands.}''

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

''{The Cheat exits dejectedly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apologetically}'' No, wait, The Cheat, come back!

''{The Cheat comes back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Will you, um, fix me some... mustard crackers?

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

''{The Cheat exits again. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

Pyke frequently would proclaim, "Science!"
**It is also a possible reference to [[Wikipedia:Bill Nye|Bill Nye]], who would also frequently proclaim "Science!" on ''[[Wikipedia:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Science Guy]]''.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad later admits in [[do over]] that he wishes he had tried a Cheatcake because "those things looked a-pretty good!"
*Strong Bad tapes his Grumblecakes song over the Cheatcakes jingle in the [[time capsule]] Easter egg.
*In [[4 branches]], Homestar saying intelligent things is discussed in the third branch of the Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Checkin' email, and take it to the flipside! !edispilf eht ot ti ekat dna liame 'nikcehC

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: rock opera</div>
Strong Bad, 
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You 
simply owe it to society. What should it be about? 
That's up to you. 
Best Wishes, 
Anonymous Contributor 
Gambier, OH</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the last two lines as "Anonymous Contrib-u-tore, Gombyay... ''hhhough''}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' HEY! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityiyiyiy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply titled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bravo! Encore! Encore! Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba! ''{typing}'' Thank you! Thank you! Yes, the rave reviews are already pouring in. It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws a rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! ''{He clutches his face and starts flailing his limbs wildly.}'' Rose face! ROSE FACE!!! ''{He falls off his stool.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click ''rave reviews'' to see some reviews of Sbemail:
**"SBEMAIL! Is a Triumph of Some Sort!!!" "It will leave you wanting MORE, MORE, MORE!" -(Perhaps)The Deke
**"A million stars!!!" -Age 7
**"SBEMAIL! is better than a [[Goats|goat]]!!" - The Biscuitdoughhandsman Review

* Click ''Pouring in'' to see a poster for SBEMAIL!
:"an off13 Broadway rock opera from the man who brought you 'Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!'"
*While on the poster, click '[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
::''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
::'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum—
::''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice, and a [[Wikipedia:Vibraslap|vibraslap]] hit can be heard}''
* Click the ''Encore'' that appears on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen when you scroll your mouse over it to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rock opera|rock opera]] is, as the name implies, a sung dramatic work in a rock, instead of classical, musical style. The term originated with the programmatic works of [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]], in particular their rock opera ''[[Wikipedia:Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]''.
*off13 Broadway refers to [[Wikipedia:Off-Broadway|Off-Broadway]] and [[Wikipedia:Off-Off-Broadway|Off-Off-Broadway]], classificaions of theatre size in New York theatre venues. Off-Broadway refers to theatres with audience sizes between 100 and 499, and Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatres with 100 seats or less. The concept behind them is that having a very small house allows for productions that are much more experimental and financially risky. However, Strong Bad's "off13" means that his musical is off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off broadway, or the word 'off' multiplied by itself thirteen times.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
*Each quotation is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and [[Rock Opera Context|so forth]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#colorado|colorado]]".
*The same strobe lights from [[techno]] are seen during the "Positate without pizzaz and jam" section of the song. However, both lights in this email are different colors from the lights in techno.
*The song that plays during the "Whatever action baby actually went jibblie. Oooh! Oh. Party like completely great, good. Down town ladies get consummate." part is the song "One giant chorus line of people" from the Simpsons episode "[[wikipedia:Treehouse of Horror V | Treehouse of Horror V]]"
*[[Tompkins]] from [[Teen Girl Squad]] appears, laughing at Strong Bad's drawing of Annonymous.

=== Remarks ===

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

'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I—people think I—they just flipped the audio track when I really said—

'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —that, live.

'''MIKE:''' —introducing you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!

'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this is—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He's gonna be—he's gonna being doing the commentary with me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is By-The-Book Mike, over here, this guy—

'''MIKE:''' We have—we've gotta do things by the rules.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, since—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good cop team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did you do these drawings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did. Look, I've even got—

'''MIKE:''' These-they're bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' They're bad drawings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.

'''MIKE:''' Tomp—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't—don't get up to high voices.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!

'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, so which email is this we're doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, rock opera. So this was—

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.

'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I guarantee it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b—lightbulb in my mouth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect—

'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants—those are some—

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tail. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.

'''MIKE:''' That is—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!

'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —video.

'''MIKE:''' —gettin' in on the action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.

'''MIKE:''' You can—you can tell.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—I think I was calling... all cars.

'''MIKE:''' What do you call—what's that girl's name?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.

'''MIKE:''' Cyn—''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —on that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going—

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Phair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Phair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—

'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Checkin' email, and take it to the flipside! !edispilf eht ot ti ekat dna liame 'nikcehC

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: rock opera</div>
Strong Bad, 
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You 
simply owe it to society. What should it be about? 
That's up to you. 
Best Wishes, 
Anonymous Contributor 
Gambier, OH</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the last two lines as "Anonymous Contrib-u-tore, Gombyay... ''hhhough''}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' HEY! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityiyiyiy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply titled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bravo! Encore! Encore! Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba! ''{typing}'' Thank you! Thank you! Yes, the rave reviews are already pouring in. It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws a rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! ''{He clutches his face and starts flailing his limbs wildly.}'' Rose face! ROSE FACE!!! ''{He falls off his stool.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click ''rave reviews'' to see some reviews of Sbemail:
**"SBEMAIL! Is a Triumph of Some Sort!!!" "It will leave you wanting MORE, MORE, MORE!" -(Perhaps)The Deke
**"A million stars!!!" -Age 7
**"SBEMAIL! is better than a [[Goats|goat]]!!" - The Biscuitdoughhandsman Review

* Click ''Pouring in'' to see a poster for SBEMAIL!
:"an off13 Broadway rock opera from the man who brought you 'Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!'"
*While on the poster, click '[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
::''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
::'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum—
::''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice, and a [[Wikipedia:Vibraslap|vibraslap]] hit can be heard}''
* Click the ''Encore'' that appears on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen when you scroll your mouse over it to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rock opera|rock opera]] is, as the name implies, a sung dramatic work in a rock, instead of classical, musical style. The term originated with the programmatic works of [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]], in particular their rock opera ''[[Wikipedia:Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]''.
*off13 Broadway refers to [[Wikipedia:Off-Broadway|Off-Broadway]] and [[Wikipedia:Off-Off-Broadway|Off-Off-Broadway]], classificaions of theatre size in New York theatre venues. Off-Broadway refers to theatres with audience sizes between 100 and 499, and Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatres with 100 seats or less. The concept behind them is that having a very small house allows for productions that are much more experimental and financially risky. However, Strong Bad's "off13" means that his musical is off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off broadway, or the word 'off' multiplied by itself thirteen times.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
*Each quotation is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and [[Rock Opera Context|so forth]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#colorado|colorado]]".
*The same strobe lights from [[techno]] are seen during the "Positate without pizzaz and jam" section of the song. However, both lights in this email are different colors from the lights in techno.
*The song that plays during the "Whatever action baby actually went jibblie. Oooh! Oh. Party like completely great, good. Down town ladies get consummate." part is the song "One giant chorus line of people" from the Simpsons episode "[[wikipedia:Treehouse of Horror V | Treehouse of Horror V]]"
*[[Tompkins]] from [[Teen Girl Squad]] appears, laughing at Strong Bad's drawing of Annonymous.

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
*The word ''crackin''' isn't actually heard in [[fingers]], and though it likely was recorded, the audio layer is turned down or the narrator is completely overpowering Strong Bad's voice.
*The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*Strong Bad ''did'' back down from a bad idea in [[other days]], when he decided not to speak the entire email as a robot.
*When Dangeresque falls through the ice, the hole is smaller than his head.
*Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]] translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a [[Wikipedia:double negative|double negative]] meaning "continue throwing roses at me."

=== Goofs ===
[[Image:Trevorthevampire_versus_rockopera.PNG|thumb|300px|Everybody wanna scam some wrestleman's eyes...]]
*You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
*When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy's screen.
*In [[trevor the vampire]], when Strong Bad goes up to the screen and says "Hi, everybody," his eyes were given the newer style. However, in the opera, the same scene was shown, but his eyes were still the old style.
*When Strong Bad says "Tonight" (in "Tonight equals dancing, yeah!"), a bit of the sound is cut off.
*When The Cheat throws a rose in Strong Bad's face, it hits his left eye. However, when Strong Bad starts freaking out about it, the rose is on his right eye.
*When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
**Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's head and shirt; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the shirt.

*When the word "metal" zooms out toward the screen passing in front of Strong Bad, his mouth appears on top of the word instead of behind it.
*If you play the opera again (via the "ENCORE!" in the corner), a slight bit of the audio for the part afterwards will play.

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

'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I—people think I—they just flipped the audio track when I really said—

'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —that, live.

'''MIKE:''' —introducing you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!

'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this is—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He's gonna be—he's gonna being doing the commentary with me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is By-The-Book Mike, over here, this guy—

'''MIKE:''' We have—we've gotta do things by the rules.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, since—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good cop team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did you do these drawings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did. Look, I've even got—

'''MIKE:''' These-they're bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' They're bad drawings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.

'''MIKE:''' Tomp—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't—don't get up to high voices.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!

'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, so which email is this we're doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, rock opera. So this was—

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.

'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I guarantee it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b—lightbulb in my mouth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect—

'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants—those are some—

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tail. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.

'''MIKE:''' That is—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!

'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —video.

'''MIKE:''' —gettin' in on the action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.

'''MIKE:''' You can—you can tell.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—I think I was calling... all cars.

'''MIKE:''' What do you call—what's that girl's name?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.

'''MIKE:''' Cyn—''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —on that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going—

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Phair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Phair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—

'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

Strong Bad, 
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You 
simply owe it to society. What should it be about? 
That's up to you. 
Best Wishes, 
Anonymous Contributor 
Gambier, OH</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the last two lines as "Anonymous Contrib-u-tore, Gombyay... ''hhhough''}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' HEY! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityiyiyiy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply titled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera.}''

It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws a rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there.}''

*While on the poster, click '[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
::''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
::'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum—
::''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice, and a [[Wikipedia:Vibraslap|vibraslap]] hit can be heard}''
* Click the ''Encore'' that appears on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen when you scroll your mouse over it to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rock opera|rock opera]] is, as the name implies, a sung dramatic work in a rock, instead of classical, musical style. The term originated with the programmatic works of [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]], in particular their rock opera ''[[Wikipedia:Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]''.
*off13 Broadway refers to [[Wikipedia:Off-Broadway|Off-Broadway]] and [[Wikipedia:Off-Off-Broadway|Off-Off-Broadway]], classificaions of theatre size in New York theatre venues. Off-Broadway refers to theatres with audience sizes between 100 and 499, and Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatres with 100 seats or less. The concept behind them is that having a very small house allows for productions that are much more experimental and financially risky. However, Strong Bad's "off13" means that his musical is off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off-off broadway, or the word 'off' multiplied by itself thirteen times.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
*Each quotation is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and [[Rock Opera Context|so forth]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#colorado|colorado]]".
*The same strobe lights from [[techno]] are seen during the "Positate without pizzaz and jam" section of the song. However, both lights in this email are different colors from the lights in techno.
*The song that plays during the "Whatever action baby actually went jibblie. Oooh! Oh. Party like completely great, good. Down town ladies get consummate." part is the song "One giant chorus line of people" from the Simpsons episode "[[wikipedia:Treehouse of Horror V | Treehouse of Horror V]]"
*[[Tompkins]] from [[Teen Girl Squad]] appears, laughing at Strong Bad's drawing of Annonymous.

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
*The word ''crackin''' isn't actually heard in [[fingers]], and though it likely was recorded, the audio layer is turned down or the narrator is completely overpowering Strong Bad's voice.
*The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*Strong Bad ''did'' back down from a bad idea in [[other days]], when he decided not to speak the entire email as a robot.
*When Dangeresque falls through the ice, the hole is smaller than his head.
*Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]] translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a [[Wikipedia:double negative|double negative]] meaning "continue throwing roses at me."

=== Goofs ===
[[Image:Trevorthevampire_versus_rockopera.PNG|thumb|300px|Everybody wanna scam some wrestleman's eyes...]]
*You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
*When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy's screen.
*In [[trevor the vampire]], when Strong Bad goes up to the screen and says "Hi, everybody," his eyes were given the newer style. However, in the opera, the same scene was shown, but his eyes were still the old style.
*When Strong Bad says "Tonight" (in "Tonight equals dancing, yeah!"), a bit of the sound is cut off.
*When The Cheat throws a rose in Strong Bad's face, it hits his left eye. However, when Strong Bad starts freaking out about it, the rose is on his right eye.
*When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
**Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's head and shirt; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the shirt.

*When the word "metal" zooms out toward the screen passing in front of Strong Bad, his mouth appears on top of the word instead of behind it.
*If you play the opera again (via the "ENCORE!" in the corner), a slight bit of the audio for the part afterwards will play.

=== Inside References ===
*The shoes that walk across the screen are the back button of the old main page.
**The shoes were also used as a back button in [[She Loves Me!]]
*On the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, Anonymous has his hands glued to his butt, which also happened to Strong Sad in the e-mail [[1 step ahead]].
**Also, the drawing of Anonymous has two toenails, much like Strong Sad.
**Strong Sad also gave an "anonymous tip" in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*Also on the second piece-of-paper, Strong Bad's legs are positioned like those of [[Wrestleman]] from the weekly [[Sketchbook]].
*When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad E-mail [[secret recipes]].
*When Strong Bad appears to have two electric guitars sticking out of his head, it is a reference to the cover art for the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Strong Bad sitting in the chair swirling the wine in the cup is modeled after a similar scene from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
**Strong Bad also swirls his wine in [[montage]].
**The background behind him in this scene is from [[dangeresque 3]].
*The action figures of Strong Sad and Strong Bad are from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
*The background of the area with the pyramid of gold bars (pre-explosion) is taken directly from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*The "Goodtime Palace" is modeled after similar scenes from [[animal]] and even features Baby Styles.
**Also, the normal "black frame" around the screen changes to the Cheat's poorly drawn frame from his "[[Powered by The Cheat]]" Cartoons.
*The picture of the "Hardest Guitar Chord Ever" comes from [[privileges]].
*[[Club Technochocolate]] is originally from [[extra plug]].
** The word "technochocolate" itself comes from [[monument]].
*The rock music which starts at Club Technochocolate uses the same chord progression as ''The Cheat Is Not Dead'' from [[caper]].
*The stage the entire cast is grouped on at the end is seen in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], among other holiday toons.
*The "biscuitdoughhandsman review" in the Easter egg is yet another reference to everyone's favorite unapprehended villain, [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]].
*"[[The Deke]]" is originally from [[autobiography]].
*Strong Bad's dance move with Baby Styles is a reference to [[virus]] when he compliments Bubs for being a computer genius man.
*"Sbemail" is a reference to the filename of every Strong Bad e-mail. Strong Bad also refers to this in [[unused emails]] and [[kids' book]].
*This isn't the first time Strong Bad has spoken backwards; he also does it on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*The guitars featured in the email are the same as in the Easter egg in the email [[new hands]].
*The Pixelated Strong Bad with the Pink hoodie is a reference to an Easter egg in the strong bad email [[montage]].
*"NO FOR RENT" is a reference to a response from the [[Jhonka]] in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*The Easter egg newspaper review from "7 Years Old" is from when puppet Stongbad appeared on G4's "Attack of the Show!" answering phone calls and asked a caller he was talking to if he was 7 years old, due to the tone and sound of his voice.

=== Real-World References ===
*Strong Bad's "Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba!" at the end is quoting the famous Warner Bros. cartoon mouse [[Wikipedia:Speedy Gonzales|Speedy Gonzales]].
*The electric guitars in the opera are (or are modeled after) the Gibson V-Factor, more commonly known as "Flying V".
*The amps are modeled after Marshall stacks, but instead of "Marshall," the logo reads "An Amp". These were also used in [[different town]] and [[Cool Things]], but labeled "Marzipan".
*Strong Bad's song at the beginning of the e-mail may be a reference to Missy Elliott's [[wikipedia:Work It|Work It]], where she says "I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup I!"
*Strong Bad walking toward the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie cliché when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').


=== Fast Forward ===
*A [[Rock Opera (karaoke)|karaoke]] video was released for the Rock Opera on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*The "guitar stars" were re-used in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*A more realistic gold bar pile (seen in 'double the real gold') is seen in [[space program]].

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —on that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going—

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Phair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Phair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—

'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Strong Bad, how you gonna check that email? With my boxing gloves, with my boxing gloves!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: funeral</div>
Dear Screaming Yellow Strong Bad, 
What do you think your funeral would be like? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Bibendum
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh man, Addendum. My funeral's going to be off all of the following: the hook, the chain, the charts, the grid, and most importantly, the wagon. ''{clears screen}'' First, I'll have to deal with the most difficult decision a newlydead faces: what to do with my stinking, rotten remains. I don't want to be just lying there surrounded by sweet-smelling flowers—

''{Cut to Strong Bad with his eyes blacked out and paler skin lying surrounded by flowers in a coffin with the word "COUGHIN'" on the side. Organ music is heard. Behind him is a person wearing a ducky shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —and sweat-smelling followers.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, he looks ''so'' peaceful.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns his head}'' Shut up, lady! Peaceful is ''not'' how I roll.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's why I'm gonna be taxidoimied! Nothing sums up my life's achievements quite like my stuffed corpse—

''{Cut to a white background. Strong Bad is standing on a log that says "Yosemite National Park" and holding a cougar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —suplexing a cougar. ''{high voice}'' Mrow! ''{normally}'' It'll be kept in a place of honor for ''{fade to Marzipan's house}'' all the world to want to make out with.

''{Homestar Runner enters from the right with a brown hat and jacket; he hangs them on the Strong Bad statue.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, I'm home!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{leaning in from the left}'' Did you find the DNA evidence?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not yet, but I'm getting close!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, maybe I'll just preserve myself fetal pig-style in a mason jar filled with the salty tears—

''{Cut to a jar filled with a liquid looking like water with a mostly-preserved Strong Bad inside. The corpse is missing several pieces of flesh and has an exposed ribcage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of all the heartbroken private school girls that will pine-uh for me-uh.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That way, there'll be something left to re-animate once the zombie uprising cometh. In 2046. On March 31st. At 2:03 pm. ''{clears screen}'' And while I'm a big fan of the classic ''{sings to the tune of Chopin's funeral march}'' "dunh-dunh-da-dunh-Dunh-da-dunh-da-dunh-da-dunh," ''{normally}'' my funeral dirge would be written and performed by Taranchula!!

''{Cut to the Field. Strong Sad is wearing a black tie and carrying the jar containing Strong Bad's remains. Metal music begins to play.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' Wo, ho, ho, ho, ho!

''{Pan out; Strong Sad and the jar are silhouetted and The Cheat is following behind, whipping Strong Sad with a whip. Strong Mad and Bubs follow.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' ''{singing}'' Put him in a jar! Put him in a jar![[#Footnote|[1]]] Puthiminajar!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since I'm not very confident in Strong Mad or The Cheat's public speaking abilities, I'll pre-record my own eulogy and have it played back on 5 boomboxes—

''{Cut back to the field: five boomboxes, including the [[booOOMbox]] and one made of cardboard, are stacked between two large vases with roses in them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —stacked on top of each other!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{playing off of boom boxes}'' Greetings, blubbering masses! Pull yourselves together! And turn off the snot works! We are gathered here to di— ''{electronic noises}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{playing off of boom boxes}'' I hope I'm not recording over anything important! OK, drap it! ''{rhythmically}'' Coach, Z, Coach, Z, 1, 2—

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z wearing ties and looking sad. While Coach Z's voice continues, Bubs glares at Coach Z, who begins to dance without changing his expression.}''

'''COACH Z:''' —3, 4, I said Coach, Z, Coach, Z, 1, 2—

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in a black suit and propeller cap standing behind a pulpit between two vases of roses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' Thank you, Strong Bad. ''{Coach Z's music is replaced with organ music}'' And now, a reading from the book of phone. ''{places and opens a phone book on the pulpit}'' Chapter 16, ''{turns page}'' Pizza Places. Aardvark Pizza. Abraham Lincoln's Pizza Cabin. ''{turns page}'' Acupuncture and Pizza: ''{voice begins to waver}'' Open late, free delivery! ''{closes and puts phone book away}'' And now, Strong Sad will perform an interpretive dance based on his brother's life.

''{A gong sounds, followed by drums. Cut to Strong Sad dancing onto the scene wearing a leotard. Strong Sad and the music stop at the sound of shattering glass; some drops of water fly in from the left. Cut to Strong Bad's corpse, which has broken open the jar. His eyes remain black and his body disfigured. The audience gasps. Strong Bad shakes his head dry.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S CORPSE:''' ''{speaking in a distorted voice}'' Sorry, everybody. Funeral's over. Not even death can stop me from stopping my leotarded brother prancing around in my honor.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' But you never got to see my Chaup au Fan!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's corpse}''

'''STRONG BAD'S CORPSE:''' You keep your chappy thong to yourself, Mister!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hordes of locusts and famine got nothing on the sight of Strong Sad dancing interpretively. So, in order to spare the world, I guess I can just never die. Okay! Man, I hope the zombies still let me fight on their side. I've got my own tattered jeans and mouthful of grape jelly. Anyone? ''{softer and with progressively smaller text}'' Zombies? Jelly? Grapity?

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

===Footnote===
#This could also be "Brother in a jar! Brother in a jar!"

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Chapaufan.PNG|thumb|CHAUP AU FAN!!]]
*Click on "Bibendum" to see a picture of Strong Sad as the Michelin Man (aka Bibendum) with a caption that reads "Chaup Au Fan".
*Click on the phone book when Homestar says "Acupuncture and Pizza" to see an ad for it.
*At the end of the email, click on the word "zombies" (the first occurrence) to see a clip of [[Pom Pom]] and [[Strong Sad]] in their 2046 forms.
:''{Cut to a scene with a future Pom Pom and Strong Sad in a purple room with cardboard boxes and flickering lights. Both are smoking cigars. Pom Pom has a gray buzz cut and is wearing an ammo belt. Strong Sad's arms are muscular and he is covered with scars. The phrase "THE YEAR 2046..." is subtitled onscreen. Heavy metal music is heard in the background.}''
:'''FUTURE STRONG SAD:''' ''{deep voice}'' Fall back. The zombies have broken through our defenses!
:''{Cut to a pale orange room with Strong Bad standing in front of an open door. Strong Bad has stuck part of a brain on the left side of his head and is wearing ripped denim jeans.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' BLAUGHRG! ''{grape jelly oozes out of his mouth}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*"Off the wagon" is a phrase meaning a recovering alcoholic has started drinking again.
*A [[Wikipedia:Suplex|suplex]] is an offensive move often used in professional, olympic, and collegiate wrestling where a wrestler essentially flips their opponent over their shoulders.
*[[Wikipedia:Taxidermy|Taxidermy]] is the practice of preserving dead animals (usually sport game shot by a hunter) by stuffing them full of sand or sawdust to retain their natural posture for display as trophies.
*An [[Wikipedia: addendum|addendum]] is "something added or to be added, especially a supplement to a written work."
*A [[Wikipedia: leotard|leotard]] is a one-piece dance outfit or a swimsuit.

===Trivia===
*This email was actually available several hours before the official "New Strong Bad Email" button appeared. It was accessible by clicking on the "email soon" button or by typing in the URL.
*This email originally did not have a visible loading screen at the beginning or the Bibendum Easter egg. Both were added several hours after the email was released.
*The tape in the [[booOOMbox]] reads "my COOLogy."
* "Chaup Au Fan" is intended to sound like French, but doesn't really mean anything. It probably refers to the French names for many [[Wikipedia:glossary_of_ballet|ballet dance steps]].

===Remarks===
[[Image:Homestar eulogy your funeral.png|thumb|A reading from the book of phone.]]
*Since P is the 16th letter in the English alphabet, it makes sense for pizza places to be in chapter 16 of the phone book.
*The Easter Egg is the first time we see Strong Sad with visible teeth (although it is a different incarnation than usual).
*When Strong Sad carries the jar, the liquid inside disobeys the laws of physics: it ought to be level with the horizon, but is at the same angle as the jar.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Sad is carrying the jar before the funeral, the image of Strong Bad as a corpse has been reversed (the ribs on Strong Bad's right side are exposed rather than the ones on his left side) compared to the other two times he's shown like that (on the table and when he breaks out of the jar).
*When Strong Sad is carrying the jar, Strong Bad's leg bones are visible through the rips at his knees, but when he breaks out, there is skin on both legs.
*The first shot in Strong Sad's Easter egg shows 2046 Strong Sad with scars on his body and no belly button. However, his body in the close-up shot has a belly button and no scars.
*One pixel's worth of Homestar's eyes is visible when he closes his eyes as he reads his eulogy, at the bottom of where his left eye is when it is open. The pixel blinks at the normal Homestar rate.

===Inside References===
*This is the fourth email in a row mentioning [[DNA Evidence]].
*This is another mention of [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|Strong Bad typing with boxing gloves on]].
*The fat man at Strong Bad's funeral is wearing a [[Duckie Shirt|duckie shirt]].
*The lady commenting on Strong Bad's peacefulness and Strong Bad saying, "Shut up, lady!" is a reference to [[bottom 10]], when a lady with a similar voice commented on the "desserts with dangerous names", with the same response by Strong Bad.
*Strong Bad performing a suplex on the cougar is another example of a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] move.
*This is another reference to [[Prancing]].
*The cigar in 2046 Strong Sad's mouth is another reference to [[Smoking]]. Strong Sad also appears with a cigar in the Bibendum Easter egg.
*Abraham Lincoln's Pizza Cabin is another mention of both [[Pizza|pizza]] and [[Presidents]].
*Strong Sad has the same carefully arranged dinner plate in the Bibendum Easter egg as in [[looking old]].
*Strong Bad's comment about his party being "off the wagon" is another reference to [[Alcohol|alcohol]].
*This email heavily involves [[Death|death]].
*The 2046 version of Pom Pom has the same style of hair as he did in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*Strong Bad's desire to record his own Eulogy alludes to his previously expressed doubts regarding the coherency of The Cheat's and Strong Mad's speech in [[cheat talk]].
*The vocal effect used for Strong Bad after he breaks out of the jar is the same one used by he, Homestar, and Bubs as paramecia in [[highschool]].

===Real-World References===
*The Bibendum Easter egg is a direct reference to [http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Le-Pneu-Michelin-Nunc-Est-Bibendum-Giclee-Print-C12046037.jpeg the classic ad] in which [[Wikipedia:Michelin|Michelin]] introduced [[Wikipedia:Michelin#Bibendum|Bibendum]], later to become the company's mascot.
*[[Wikipedia:Yosemite National Park|Yosemite]] is a national park located in California.
*The classic funeral march Strong Bad sings is from the third movement of [[Wikipedia:Frédéric Chopin|Frédéric Chopin]]'s [[Wikipedia:Piano Sonata No. 2 (Chopin)|Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor, op. 35]].
*[[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]] is known to have grown up in a one-room log cabin.
*Coach Z's dance and facial expression are reminiscent of Michael Jackson's music video for Thriller, which also featured Zombies.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in the middle of the field. Strong Bad is holding a toy rocket on the end of a pump. }''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat. This is gonna be pro-awesome. This thing's gonna shoot all the way up to Europa! And bring us back a couple of Europa-pean lobsters to grill up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. ''{Pumping the pump}'' Three... two... one... ''{He releases the rocket and it falls onto the ground. Strong Bad stares at the sky}'' Look at it go! I can barely see it already an— ''{notices the rocket lying on the ground}'' Oh. That was nothing like the back of the box. ''{Shaking his fist at the sky}'' Where's my space lobster? You know what that means. It's time to employ... The Compress''or''!

''{Cut to the same location later on. Strong Bad has attached an air compressor to the rocket, which slowly grows bigger as more air is pumped into it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Three... Two... One...

''{The rocket flies into the air}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at it go! ''{He runs after it}'' I can almost taste the buttery claw meats!

''{Strong Bad runs into a plastic whale with a microphone in it and falls down. A loud WANG sound effect is heard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where'd you come from?

'''MICROPHONE:''' ''{Scratchy and difficult to understand voice}'' Would you like to try a combo meal?

''{Strong Bad stands up and dusts himself off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, sure. But no cheese, and, um, extra sauce?

''{The Cheat arrives}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know. I think I just ordered a combo meal from this invisible restaurant. You don't have any invisible cash, do you?

''{The Cheat puts his hands in his fur where pockets would be, and takes them out again as if holding money}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{"I've got plenty!" The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you're loaded! ''{To the microphone}'' And, uh, let me get a crappy toy meal for my The Cheat here.

'''MICROPHONE:''' Nine-seventeen, sever your leg please, sir.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Could you repeat that? ''{Shakes head}'' I thought you just asked me to sever my leg.

'''MICROPHONE:''' Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Incredulous}'' "Sever my leg"? "It's the greatest day"? I'm not sure I understand the transaction that's taking place here.

'''MICROPHONE:''' Please enter your password.

''{It plays a tune}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' My The Cheat wants to know what your crappy toy is this week.

'''MICROPHONE:''' It's brown.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To The Cheat}'' It's brown.

''{The Cheat starts to cry}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I guess they're ''out'' of blue ones.

''{The Cheat cries harder}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Angrily}'' Look what you did!

'''MICROPHONE:''' Steer your car around to the seventh window.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What window? You're just a crackly drive-through whale out in the middle of a field! ''{The word field echoes and the camera angle switches to show the emptiness of the field}'' Come on, The Cheat. Let's take our invisible business elsewhere.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk away. As soon as they're offscreen, the rocket falls back down and breaks open, and a purple lobster with yellow spots comes out.}''

'''MICROPHONE:''' Sever your leg please, sir.

''{The lobster removes one of its claws, and the whale bends down and eats the lobster. Then it blasts off into space. A silhouette of a lobster with "end." written on it appears.}''

:'''STRONG BAD''': Now ''this'' place knows how to invisibly treat a person, The Cheat! ''{to an invisible waiter}'' Ah, yes, thank you, Inviso-Jeeves. We'd like another bottle of Château Prétende 1974, please. Oh, and, uh, how 'bout a blue one for my little friend here?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)|Europa]] is one of [[Wikipedia:Jupiter (planet)|Jupiter]]'s moons. There are often plans to send probes there to drill through its icy crust in search of alien sea life, which is possibly where the lobster reference comes from.

Made-Up Body Parts

68.145.103.189 — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 06:21:00 GMT

68.145.103.189: /* Appearances */ unnecessary comma

[[Image:Cloitsterizer.PNG|thumb|"Maximize your cloits and dloits with the ease of a thousandaire!"]]
In many [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] cartoons, [[Strong Bad]] has been shown to have a habit of '''making up names of body parts''' that don't exist. Some of these names have been made by adding the stereotypical Latin suffix ''-us'' at the end. Their names are all closely related to actual body parts in some way.

==Appearances==

*In the unfinished cartoon [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]], Strong Bad complains about his broken "clavicus majorus." This name is based on the [[Wikipedia:Clavicle|clavicle]], a bone also known as the "collar bone" that is found in the shoulder.
*In the email [[unused emails]], Strong Bad runs and jumps on the table in his [[Computer Room]], and makes the same complaint about his broken "clavicus majorus" while lying on his back.
*In [[Peasant's Quest]], if [[Rather Dashing]] repeatedly uses the crank at the well, the game mentions exercising your "Deltoidus Rex" muscles. This name is based on a shoulder muscle called the [[Wikipedia:Deltoid muscle|deltoid muscle]]. ''Rex'' is Latin for "king".
*In the email [[suntan]], [[The Cloitsterizer]] claims to be able to maximize your "cloits and dloits", two more nonexistent body parts.
*In the email [[the chair]], Strong Bad says that he cannot feel "his parts." Strong Sad makes the same statement in an Easter egg in the same e-mail.

'''Page Title:''' Marzipan's Answering Machine

== Transcript ==

=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Aloha, this is Marzipan. I'm lounging on the lanai, enjoying a wheat-grass-tini, in my wheat-grass-kini. Please leave a mauka-makai-message.

=== Message 6 ===
'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Marzipan, it's Coach Z! Just calling to remind yous that spring shin tryouts are just around the corner. Don't forget to bring your shin-guards and your shin-pads and your shin-protectors and your shin-rub. Don't worry about shin-balls, we'll provide those, but this'll be your week to bring the shin-snack, so, you know, bring orange slices or some Cheetos or... Pretty much anything orange works for a good shin-snack. And get ready to scrimmage our bitter rivals, Skins.

=== Message 5 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan, it's Homestar... and, um... crap. What was I calling you for? I was gonna ask you something... about... something. Aw, never mind. If I think of it, I'll call you back. Now give me that beep!

=== Message 4 ===
'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, Hello? This is the King of April Fool's Day pranks, calling her Majesty, the Queen of April Fool's Day pranks. Remember that time we replaced everybody's toilet paper with 100% post-consumer recycled toilet paper? Nobody knew what hit 'em! Literally, they didn't know that we had done that! So for this year, I was thinking we could make everyone a cinnamon-apple crisp, but tell them it's a ginger-apple crumble. I know, I know, I'm so bad! But we could get into some serious trouble for this one. In fact, I probably shouldn't even be talking about it on the phone. Uh, uh, ''{begins talking at a faster pace}'' slow pitch racquetball? I'd love to play slow pitch racquetball! In fact, that's what this whole conversation's been about. Okay, so along!

=== Message 3 ===
'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Hello, Marzipan. THIS is Crack Stuntman. I'm the handsome actor that's handsomely paid to do the voice of ''{pauses; attempting to remember the name}'' Gunhaver ''{pronounces it "Gun-hay-ver"}'' on the Cheat Command-show. As national spokesperson for a charitable wildlife organization, I'm demanding that you stop protesting in our rallies! ''{Pistols for Pandas poster appears}'' Pistols for Pandas is a just cause! These are stupid, fat, slow creatures we're talking about. They need all the firepower they can get. Last year alone, the PFP put handguns in the paws of no fewer than 300 underprivileged and unarmed pandas. And what do you care? People like you don't even eat panda! This is Crack Stuntman, signing off. And signing autographs at the North Garden Ridges Hills Mall this Saturday! ''{sings to the tune of the "Buy all our playsets and toys!" theme}'' Da-da-da-da-da-da-dah!

=== Message 2 ===
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jerkily throughout, as if he's an automated phone robot}'' Hello—Marzipan. This is—Nadine—Automated Menu Burger—calling from—Trusted—Financial—Institution. To check on the status of an existing gigantic butt, please press or say—"gigantobutt"—now. Or—to place a new—six foot Italian sub—in—Strong Bad—'s—hands, please hang up—and do that mess—right now. I'm sorry—I didn't catch that. I think you said—"gigantobutt". If this is correct, please press or say—"yes." I'm sorry—I think you said—"yes." If this is correct, please press or say—"total yes." I'm sorry—I didn't catch that. Let's start again. To check on the status—of an existing butt that's so big it has its own Congressman, please press or say—

=== Message 1 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Marzipan, I remembered what it was! I'm actively sinking in quicksand! So, if you have any vines or roots that you can toss my way, I would be really, really still alive. Now bring that beep back!

==Easter Eggs==
*After Homestar's second message, click on the tape holder:
*:''{Homestar is in the Field at nighttime, sitting in the [[Kiddie Pool]] from [[stunt double]], which is full of sand. The sign on the sandbox reads "QUiCK SAnD"}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighs and sings}'' Somewheres, out theres... ''{a shooting star goes overhead}''

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Can you handle my style? No, you can't handle my styyyyyle. Email! ''{pulls up the email, begins reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: modeling</div>
dear STRONG BAD!!!!!! 
i think you're a pretty good looking guy. Have you ever 
considered doing some modeling? 
Yours truuly, 
Meghan, Albuquerque
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad yells his name at the top of his lungs, and says "truuly" as "troo-OO-ly", "Meghan" as "Meg-han", and "Albuquerque" as "Al-bu-quay-quay"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' dear MEGHAN!!!!!! ''{yelled and pronounced as before}'' Of course I've considered modeling. Someone as pretty good looking as me gets approached on the street all the-wait. Modeling?! Hmmmm. That's a truuly ''{pronounced as before}'' great idea! ''{clears screen}'' Why did I never think of that before? Maybe I should go get me some new threads at Styles Upon Styles and get some headshots taken. Pom Pom has a camera. Maybe I'll get him to take some pictures of me. Or better yet, maybe I'll go karate chop the King of Town and THEN get Pom Pom to take some pictures of me.

''{Music starts as Strong Bad approaches the King of Town, in front of his castle. Strong Bad karate chops the King.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ow!

''{Cut to Strong Bad in a makeshift modeling studio in the Field. He is sitting on a box, and wearing a blue shirt with a yellow shirt tied around his neck, like a cape. The backdrop is a white sheet with paint in various colors randomly splattered on it, taped to two wooden posts. Photography lights are seen on the left and right, and a silhouette of Pom Pom is seen in the foreground with a camera. The screen flashes as Pom Pom takes the picture, and as it fades back in, we see a closeup of Strong Bad in the same outfit, now holding a tennis racket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha haa!

''{The screen flashes, and now Strong Bad is lying on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who, me?

''{Another flash, and now he's standing on the box, with his right hand held out in front of him, as though he's pointing at the camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm charming! ''{points with his left hand}''

''{Another flash, and he's now standing with the tennis racket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off-handed tone}'' I'm charming.

''{Yet another flash, and the camera is panned back so that Pom Pom is visible again. Strong Bad is standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what's the time? ''{looks at his right wrist as though looking at a watch}''

''{Another flash, and we see another close up, as Strong Bad starts out turned away from the camera, and he turns toward it, waves, and holds his chin, with afterimages following him. Another flash, and now Strong Bad is wearing a black suit with a purple shirt and glasses, holding a briefcase.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm casually late!

''{Another flash, but the screen doesn't change. Strong Bad walks toward stage right, and pauses posing. The camera flashes again, and Strong Bad is now seen in front of what seems to be a paneled wood wall, holding a telephone with only a frayed wire coming out of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's-a do lunch. Ha-haaa! ''{puts down the phone and picks up the tennis racket again}''

''{Another flash, and Strong Bad is lying on his stomach on the ground, holding a pencil and leaning toward the camera. We can see that the wall in the last image was actually just another screen, leaning on the posts.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll pencil you in. ''{pretends to write something on the ground}''

''{One more flash, and now Strong Bad is in a frozen walking pose in front of a blue screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look at the time! ''{kneels and looks at his "watch" again}''

''{Another flash, and now Strong Bad is wearing a white turtleneck and a sailor's cap, while holding a corn-cob pipe and a golf club. A map is seen in the background, in front of the false wood wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I say, lads, is that Cape Cod? ''{uses the golf club to point at the map, and shrugs}''

''{Another flash, and the camera cuts back again. This time, Strong Bad is sitting on the box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, off the portboard stow.

''{Another flash, and he's standing with his hands on his hips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're on a collision course with sultriness! ''{shakes hips}''

''{One final flash and we cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I can't wait to get those pictures back from the lab. I can totally see some of them being used in one of those glossy fashion magazines. Y'know, the kind that cost nine bucks and are 97% ads. Like maybe in an ad for those fancy leather shoes that you're supposed to wear without...

''{An ad for "Homely Boy Brand HUGE Tube Socks" featuring Strong Bad is displayed.}''

''{An ad for "Doctor Stankfoot's Watery Athlete's Foot Cream" featuring Strong Bad appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I can be laying next to some skinny blonde girl looking totally disinterested. You know like, "Whatever, baby.

''{The ad disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can't even approach the flava... of my colognac." ''{clears screen}'' No wait! The cover of some steamy romance novel! And my ripped...

'''STRONG BAD:''' And she'd be like, "No, Parson Jim, it can never be!" But I'm all like, "Look in your heart, Chezmerelda."

''{The camera cuts back to show Strong Sad standing next to the desk, holding a pile of mail.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I was just looking through today's mail, and guess who made the cover of ''Husky Headed Boys Back 2 School Catalog''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHAT?!? Back-to-school already?! It's not even July! So, who's on the cover?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, ''you'' are.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''What?!'' I ain't got no husky head!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, it's about the same size as my husky body... ''{hits his stomach twice, resulting in a dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Oh, and this check ''{holds out a check}'' from ''Husky Headed Boys Catalog'' came—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{swiping the check}'' Whoa-ho! My husky head commands a pretty penny! This'll bring home a few months' worth of bacon! I bet your husky body's not worth a hundred and eight dollars.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, but poachers have offered several ''thousand'' for my feet.

''{Homestar Runner walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys! Guess who made this week's cover of ''Stupid Coincidence Magazine''!

''{He holds up the [[Periodicals|magazine]], which features Homestar himself. He then throws it over his shoulder and starts dancing to the same music Strong Bad posed to earlier. The camera flashes, and we see the "Husky Headed Boys" and "Stupid Coincidence Magazine" issues up close. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Strong Bad's diamond to see an ad for "SB Finest Colognac."

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===

*"Colognac" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] word formed by combining "[[Wikipedia:Cognac (drink)|cognac]]", a distilled liquor, and "[[Wikipedia:Eau de Cologne|cologne]]", a fragrance.
*"Portboard Stow" is double [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]]. "Portboard" combines "Port", the left side, and "Starboard", the right side of a ship. "Stow" combines both "Stern", the rear end, and "Bow", the front end of a ship.
*[[Wikipedia:Cape Cod|Cape Cod]] is a peninsula forming the south-easternmost part of Massachusetts.

===Trivia===
*The ads and magazines read, in order:
<pre>HOMELY BOY BRAND

drink it. or wear it. we don't really give a care.</pre>

* The map that Strong Bad stands in front of while posing marks "Land," "Haggleston," "[[Place]]," and "Nautical Ocean."
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#the news room|the news room]]".
*This email has [[Nondescript Nouns]] ("Place" and "Land").

===Remarks===
*We see Strong Bad's written signature in the HUGE Tube Socks ad, and it is different from his signature in the [[Yearbook Character Page]].
*Stupid Coincidence Magazine costs $9, the same price as one of those glossy fashion magazines that Strong Bad mentions.
*Homestar was considering breaking into male modeling in [[crying]].

===Goofs===
[[Image:Modelinggoof.PNG|thumb|"Dear MASKING GOOF!"]]
*When Strong Bad yells "dear STRONG BAD!!!!!" and, "dear MEGHAN!!!!!", the reflection of his head appears slightly above the Lappy due to a masking goof.
*When Homestar holds up the magazine, his image on the cover blinks (this does not happen at the end of the email).
*In the email screen when the "romance novel" comes up, you can no longer click the Lappy to see the "ripple" effect.
*Right after Strong Bad says "letsa do lunch," he holds up the tennis racket, and even though he is in a suit, the arm is bare.
*Strong Bad commits a common usage error, substituting "disinterested" for "uninterested." "Disinterested" means impartial or unbiased, as in a "disinterested" jury or judge. "Uninterested," by contrast, means showing no interest in something, as Strong Bad would be in the situation he describes.
*When Homestar holds the magazine before the end of the email, there is no text other than Stupid Coincidence Magazine.
*When Strong Bad says "Oh, what's the time?" the first time, Pom Pom's camera seems to be slightly obscuring his head.

===Inside References===
*Pom Pom's camera was also in the email [[part-time job]].
*"Styles Upon Styles" is a retailer previously mentioned in [[animal]].
*Strong Bad dressed up as a ship's captain in [[pizzaz]], minus the turtleneck.
**The turtleneck was the one Strong Bad wore as [[Archibald]] in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*The screen with the wooden panels is the [[Balding Man]]'s room from [[Senorial Day]].
*"Skinny blonde girls" were first mentioned in [[theme party]].
*[[Place]] first appeared in [[different town]].
*When Strong Sad hits his "husky body" it makes the same sound as when he was pegged by kickballs in [[1 step ahead]].
*Strong Bad originally tried to sell [[Soolnds|Strong Sad's feet]] to poachers in [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad uses a yellow [[Disconnected Telephones|disconnected telephone]] for one of his business shots.
*In the end Easter egg, the "SB" on the red box uses the font [[Fonts#C|Commodore 64]].
*This is the first mention of [[Tube Socks|tube socks]].

===Real-World References===
*"Got stinkfoot" is a reference to the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Parodius Da!|Parodius]]'', in which gaining a power-up will sometimes result in the main character saying "GOT A STINKFOOT?!" out of a megaphone.
**"Stinkfoot" is also the title of a song by [[Wikipedia:Frank Zappa|Frank Zappa]].
*Strong Bad's "oh, look at the time/what's the time" poses during the photo shoot are a reference to the episode "The Prettiest Week of My Life" from the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Get a Life (TV series)|Get A Life]]''. In the episode, "Gee, I wonder what time it is" is one of the poses Chris is taught at "Handsome Boy Modeling School".

===Fast Forward===

*Strong Bad is later seen writing to and apparently showing affection for tube socks in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]].

==Commentary Transcript==

('''Commentary by:''' Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)

'''MATT:''' Okay, here's us making the hundredth email. We started with the easiest part, and funnest part, which is doing the Limozeen Easter egg.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, you can see Ryan editing that on the far right of the screen, he's editing the uh, Easter egg and layering them, and keying out the green.

'''MATT:''' Right, and Mike, what're you doing right now?

'''MIKE:''' I am making sandals and socks for Homestar, that never appeared. And a green duck shirt... uh—

'''MATT:''' Instead of a yellow duck shirt.

'''MIKE:''' Instead of a yellow duck shirt.

'''MATT:''' Uh, now I'm recording... this might be recording the Limozeen egg sounds, we were recording that actually. Or, I may be recording an early email... Oh no, that's what it is. It's recording the uh, if you went to [[Not the 100th Email!!!|sbemail100.html]] that's what we're doing right now.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right. We did that on Sunday night. So this is Sunday night. And, here is Monday morning.

'''MATT:''' So, Day two. We actually changed clothes—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I think we're—

'''MATT:''' —probably the only three days in a row that we actually changed clothes, and we happened to get it all on film.

'''MIKE:''' Um, I think we're re-writing the email here, for the most part.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That's what you're doing, anyway.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' We pretty much started from scratch.

'''MATT:''' So now re-recording the email, and recording new sounds for it. And some music for it!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah... perhaps the, um...

'''MATT and MIKE:''' Email is awesome!

'''MIKE:''' Email is weird song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's a good one. Um, ah that's— Melissa came by to record her one line—

'''MIKE:''' "Ready and set and go now!"

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And then, the thing, her Easter egg.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right.

'''MATT:''' That was it. That was Melissa's involvement. So this music, Mike, tell 'em about the music.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, the music was made using a Synthcart, a home-brewed Atari cartridge by our friend Paul Slocum. Um, it's awesome.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' is making—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, there goes our parents and Aunt Jim.

'''MATT:''' ''{cracking up}'' Aunt— Aunt Jim and Uncle Rosy!

'''MIKE:''' ''{correcting himself, laughing}'' Uncle Jim! Sorry, Aunt Jim!

'''MATT:''' Uncle Jim and Aunt Rosy.

'''MIKE:''' Um, see— you can see I'm working on the children's book graphics and stuff there, the egg just popped open, um, with The Cheat inside of it.

'''MATT:''' Right. I'm over there doing all the, like, widescreen, beginning and end, all the Easter eggs and stuff. I swear I'm doing stuff over there.

''{Mike laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' So this is Monday night.

'''MATT:''' Day three!

'''MIKE:''' Tuesday morning. Um... making some music over there... just the music for the children's book part.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We defin— Yeah that's exactly what it was. I touch my face a lot. I'm drinking a lot of water and I'm touching my face a lot. So this is, this is when we're totally jamming out. Together. This might have been the "''{sic}''Email is Awesome", actually.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I don't know what that other part was.

'''MATT:''' 'Cause it had bass in it.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, maybe it was the Limozeen... No... ''{mumbling}'' ''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, there's the Old-Timey Strong Bad Easter egg I was doing, and the Homestar one where he was wearing that duck shirt.

'''MATT:''' You just did the Strong Bad Email Menu. Looks like we're getting close, Mike. You seem to be waiting for me to finish.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Ooh, I made the glass, yup. ''{Now speaking alone}'' Here I come up at the front of the screen, I stood up there for, like, three minutes, right there, that was like three minutes.

'''MATT:''' And that's the end.

==Fun Facts==
*Near the beginning of the video, you can see Mike working on graphics that never made it into the email, which feature normal-style [[Homestar Runner]] wearing socks, sandals, and a ''green'' [[Duckie Shirt|duckie shirt]].
*Within the first 5 seconds, Matt puts on his [[Limozeen]] wig while at his laptop computer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:The Cheat Chuck
:: The Poopsmith......211pts.
:Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Homestar jumps down and knocks Strong Sad and Marzipan off the stage.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and dancing}'' Just take those old glasses off the shelf...

''{Fireworks go off in the background, then a cut to Strong Bad sitting at the Lappy.}''

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

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

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

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

:"So fancy, there's no opening!"

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*"Athlon" in "strong badathlon" means "contest" in Greek, and is found in the names of such events as the [[Wikipedia: biathlon|biathlon]], [[Wikipedia:triathlon|triathlon]], [[Wikipedia: pentathlon|pentathlon]], [[Wikipedia: heptathlon|heptathlon]], and [[Wikipedia: decathlon|decathlon]].
*East Germany, or the [[Wikipedia:German Democratic Republic|German Democratic Republic]], was a communist state that existed prior to the fall of the [[Wikipedia:Berlin Wall|Berlin Wall]] and dominated several Olympic events, in part because of their athletes' prolific use of [[Wikipedia:Steroids|steroids]].
*Olympic athletes often rely on product endorsements for income due to [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games#Amateurism and professionalism|Olympic amateurism regulations]].
*Kenyan athletes are noted for dominating the sport of distance running.
*The "weak points" on Homestar's body appear to be the face, kidneys, and groin, all of which are particularly sensitive parts of the human body.
*The "clean and jerk" is a part of [[Wikipedia: weightlifting|weightlifting]].

===Trivia===
*Before The Paper comes down, you can see the words "Side Words" on the side of the Temporarios box.
**This is also visible when Strong Bad first holds up the box.

===Remarks===
*Even though Homestar has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]], he is still somehow able to punch himself.

===Goofs===
* Strong Bad's arm disappears briefly when he wipes the sweat off his forehead.
* The "I'm Don't Get Paid!" caption at the end has a small white spot on the O of "Don't".

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

===Inside References===
*Cableman Jorge was Strong Bad's alias in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]].
*"Someteen days of glory!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], where [[The Ugly One]] has a "Sweet Someteen Birthday". (See Real-World References below.)
*Guitars and lasers is possibly a reference to [[new hands]], where, near the end, Strong Bad laments not having chosen guitars and laser guns as possible prosthetics.
**Additionally, the lasers replacing Strong Bad's hands are the same style as the laser that replaces one of his hands in an Easter egg in the same email.
*[[Cherry Greg]] wins the Remote Put with 11 points.
*The music for the commercial at the end is the same as the [[Schenectady Crispies]] spot in [[labor day]].
*The Poopsmith being entrant Number 2 is a reference to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], where he holds up a sign saying "I'm #2.".
**It's also a vulgarism of [[Whatsit]].

===Real-World References===
*The Whatsitburied Slop is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Fosbury Flop|Fosbury Flop]], a technique used in high jumping.
*The "Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating" event takes its name from [[Wikipedia:Greco-Roman wrestling|Greco-Roman wrestling]], one of the three styles of wrestling contested in the [[Wikipedia:Olympic Games|Olympic Games]].
*The song Homestar starts to sing during the "ending closimonies" is sung to the tune of the song "[[Wikipedia:Old Time Rock and Roll|Old Time Rock and Roll]]" by [[Wikipedia:Bob Seger|Bob Seger]]. He replaces the word "glasses" for "records" in the song, referencing a commercial from the 1980's for the Hardees fast food franchise's collectible set of Alvin and the Chipmunks glasses. The song lyrics were changed in this commercial (and sung by The Chipmunks) to "Just take those old glasses off the shelf / Get down to Hardees and help yourself / Those other glasses ain't got the same class / I want an Alvin and the Chipmunks glass".
*"Rudkin Shampoo" is a reference to the actual brand "Redken Shampoo".
*The half-circles and circle on the corner of the Strong Badathlon logo resemble those of the [[wikipedia:Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] logo. 
*"Someteen days of glory!" is also a reference to a 1985 documentary covering the [[wikipedia:1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Summer Olympics]], [[imdb:tt0090559|Sixteen Days Of Glory]]
*The "Remote Put" event could be a possible parody on recent Nintendo [[wikipedia:Wiimote|Wii remote]] injuries. [http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com] 
*"Streisand", from the [[Powered by The Cheat]] segment, most likely refers to the famous actress/singer [[Wikipedia:Barbra Streisand|Barbra Streisand]].
*Strong Bad's claim that he is going to boycott the games is most likely a reference to the U.S. led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, which included 64 other nations and was prompted by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. This action was subsequently repeated by the U.S.S.R. and 14 of their Eastern Bloc partners at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics claiming that the safety of their athletes could not be guaranteed.
*Homestar fighting himself is most likely a reference to the [[wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]] sketch, [[wikipedia:Colin "Bomber" Harris vs Colin "Bomber" Harris|Colin "Bomber" Harris vs Colin "Bomber" Harris]].
*Temporarios somewhat resemble [[Wikipedia:Froot Loops|Froot Loops]].

68.145.103.189: /* YouTube */ fixes

{{sightingslanguagewarning}}
== 8-Bit Theater 3 ==
*In the bloopers for [http://www.ugoplayer.com/animation/8-bit-theater-3.html 8-Bit Theater 3], [[The Cheat]] is "summoned" in one, and [[Strong Bad]] appears on a [[Wikipedia:Mega Man 2|Mega Man 2]] boss screen in another. Even Homestarrunner.com is stated in the Special Thanks credits.

== Albino Black Sheep ==
On [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/ AlbinoBlackSheep.com], there are many sightings embedded in its user-created flash cartoons. For example, on one particular Animutation, there is a screenshot from "StrongBadZone", where you can hear "STINY! GET ME A DANISH!" 

Additionally, the filename of the aforementioned Animutation is a giveaway that the creator is a fan of Homestar Runner. [http://abs.gprime.net/Your_Head_Asplode.swf] (link defunct)

Other animations on the website that have references in them include:
*[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/elvis.php Elvis Lives],
*[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/elvisnotincluded.php Elvis Not Included]
*[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/fingertips.php The Fingertips Project] (a song by [[They Might Be Giants]]).

Also in a user-created animation, [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/papasmurf.php The Lost Smurf's Episode], Strong Bad can be found in the background dancing. This is also on [http://www.funnyjunk.com/ funnyjunk.com].

In [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/animator Animator vs. Animation] Strong Bad's [[Big Knives|Big Knife]] is drawn then scribbled out.

== Albuquerque: Part 1 ==
In [http://www.animutationportal.com/view/146 part 1] of the Albuquerque (a song by [[Wikipedia:Weird Al Yankovic|"Weird Al" Yankovic]]) animutation collabration, watch during the scene where "Jay Jay the Jet Plane" crashes into the ground and there is a shot of all the people who "died" (except for Colin Mochrie who put his chair in the upright position and folded up his tray table), notice that [[Stinkoman]] is one of the people who "died".
== AMV Hell 3:The Motion Picture ==
*In [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1296650760995189755&q=AMV+Hell+3 this] gigantic montage (1 hour!) of humorous and nonsensical anime clips, Ikari Shinji and Kensuke Aida from Neon Genesis Evangelion can be heard singing the song from an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]] in one segment.

*Additionally, earlier in the video, a segment of the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] Fight Song from [[mascot]] is played with a clip from Azumanga Daioh.

== Arfenhouse 4!!!!==

After the parody Pac-Man trailer, a Notepad text document icon is seen talking to a Flash file icon. Another Flash file appears on screen with Strong Bad's facial design, and titled SBEMAIL 48572.SWF.
It can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odimzuiXFoo here].

== Artificial High 3 ==
In one scene, the message "Computer Over. Virus = very yes" shows up.
In another scene, Strong Bad is checking an unknown email.

== Bonus Stage ==
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage1.html "Car" (v1)], there is an Easter egg at the end. Click on the note on the box. There is a reference to Homestar Runner on the note.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage8.html "Recap"], there is a passing reference to Strong Bad making video games. This episode came out not long after the email [[video games]], so that's probably what it refers to.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage9.swf "Morbid"], Joel dies and goes to hell. Phil and Elly then die so they can rescue him, and while there, they meet Strong Bad, Homestar, and Coach Z. Apparently, Strong Bad got sick of the 'boxing glove emails' and jumped into a lake of fire, and Homestar and Coach Z followed. After they rescue Joel, Phil starts typing on a Compy 386 about how Bubs won the race, and Strong Sad shows up. (This episode was later removed, then changed in order to avoid legal trouble.) Despite the episode being changed, the season 2 intro still features the removed Strong Sad clip.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs11.html "Rivals"], Joel says he wants to move to Atlanta where "the cartoon people" live. He is probably referring to [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*In the Easter egg in [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs19.html "2 Pack"], they prank call someone who is supposed to be Strong Bad, but turns out to just be someone doing an impression of Strong Bad.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs30.html Virtual Candy], there is a commercial for a candy called "Kandy Commandoz". A small disclaimer flashes across the screen proclaiming "Not a ripoff of Homestar Runner", referring to [[Cheat Commandos]].
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs60.html "Five Minute Story Hour"], the protagonist (who is a laptop) is referred to "Lappy" throughout the episode.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs86.html "Joel Fights Crime, Phil Rewrites Time"], Phil calls George Washington "Geroge", referring to [[cartoon]].

== Bush Bash ==
On this [http://tlchicken.com/bush/bushbash.swf flash] animation at tlchicken.com, you can see a picture of [[Wikipedia:George W. Bush|President Bush]] and a flaming Earth that says "Burninating the Peasants since 2000".

==A Cartoon About Nothing!==
*In [http://www.cartoonaboutnothing.com/stickman2.0.html "Stickman Vs. The Dot (New Version)"], there are two [[Teen Girl Squad]] references. When the shark chomps into the cannon, the caption "Chomp!" is displayed, complete with AhnbergHand font. Also, when The Dot erases the shark, it displays the caption "ERASE[[-'d|'d!"]]
*In [http://www.cartoonaboutnothing.com/warningpage.html "The Fun, Fun, Fun Cartoon Show!"], one of the "subliminal messages" is [[ye flask|"Get ye flask."]] A list of subliminal messages can be seen in an Easter egg at the end of the cartoon.

==Cartoon'd==
The name itself is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad]], especially its tendency to add a "[[-'d]]" to the end of words, and in the second [http://www.deviantart.com/view/28845605/ episode] the cartoon is affected by a [[The Virus|virus]]. There's a reference to Homestar Runner in which one of the main characters is stuck on a page from [[StrongBadZone]] with the caption "Your head a splode" then he is knocked over. Also, another main character is stuck on a desktop where we can see a Homestar icon.

== Chris.exe ==
Homestar makes a cameo in episode "Chris, Zanda and the treasure of Captain No Beard" of the popular flash series [http://www.chrisdotexe.tk chris.exe]

== ClaveMan ==
ClaveMan (Episode 1) - A [http://www.dinowax.com/ Dino Wax] Production.
Claveman poses as Homestar as one of his disguises to obtain free Popeye's biscuits.

== Decline of Video Gaming 2 ==
In [http://www.flashplayer.com/animation/declineofvideogaming2.html this] animation, there are slight references to Homestar Runner, particularly [[Trogdor]]. While watching it, put on creator's notes.

== Dr. Wily Shorts Collection ==
At [http://www.planet-megaman.com planet-megaman.com], there is a flash animation called "[[Wikipedia:Doctor Wily|Dr. Wily]] Shorts Collection." If you click on Dr. Wily's shorts, a short animation of Strong Bad and Homestar pops up.

== Ducktales: The Auditions ==
In [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/119501 this] follow-up to the internet "Ducktales" series, Homestar Runner shows up as the fifth audition for the part of [[Wikipedia:Scrooge McDuck|Scrooge McDuck]].

== Ebolaworld ==
*At [http://www.ebolaworld.com Ebolaworld.com], there is a Weekly Update titled Halloween Special. Taco-Man hosts a costume party for Halloween and Homestar makes an appearance at the very end. Watch it [http://www.ebolaworld.com/movies/weeklyupdate/19.html here].
*In the second part of the 2004 Viewers Choice Award Program-Related Activities Show, a crowd of many cartoon characters can be seen. Among them is Homestar Runner. Watch it [http://www.ebolaworld.com/movies/weeklyupdate/29_01.html here].

'''''strongbad_email.exe''''' is the first [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] DVD series (the second being [[Everything Else]]). It contains the first 130 [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]].

== Disc Contents ==
*'''[[strongbad_email.exe Disc One|Disc 1]]''' contains Strong Bad Emails 1-50 ([[some kinda robot]] through [[50 emails]]), three new, never-before-seen emails ([[Greeting Cards]], [[E-mail Birds]] and [[Videro Games]]), the first seventeen [[Scroll Button Songs (video)|Scroll Button Songs]], the first 100 [[Email Intros]], and the unfinished [[Toons|Toon]], [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].
*'''[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Two|Disc 2]]''' contains Strong Bad Emails 51-80 ([[website]] through [[stunt double]]), four [[KaraokeFun|karaoke music videos]], and a video of [[Gary Palaroncini|Gary]] playing [[The Cheatar]].
*'''[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Three|Disc 3]]''' contains Strong Bad Emails 81-100 ([[date]] through [[flashback]]), [[Some Puppet Stuff]], and various behind-the-scenes footage, with [[Sample of Style]], [[Making of Email 100]], [[Sketchbook (video)|Sketchbook]], [[3D Menu Screen Tests]], [[Day at the Park]], and [[Some Extras]].
*'''[[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Disc 4]]''' contains Strong Bad Emails 101-130 ([[car]] through [[do over]]), one previously unreleased email ([[Family Resemblence]]), two karaoke videos, some puppet stuff, with [[Real-Live E-Mails]], [[Puppets on the Road]], [[Puppets & Little Girl Outtakes]], as well as [[Sample of Style Too]] and [[Sample of Style Too: Some Outtakes]]. It is sold separately from the first three discs.

== Artwork ==
See artwork at [[strongbad_email.exe DVD Artwork]].

== Easter Eggs ==
*Most of the emails have three kinds of secrets:
**Audio commentary: Access by pressing the "Language" or "Audio" button. Not all emails have them.
**Secret "angle": Access by pressing the "Angle" button. Usually used to display the short pop-ups that can appear when you click on different things '''during''' the emails.
**Secret menu options: Once the email is over, you can press down from "Next" to find a hidden menu option—a little icon that looks like Strong Bad's head. (You'll typically have to press down several times to find the hidden icon.) Sometimes there's stuff hidden under "Again," "Main," or "Next," and sometimes you have to browse around (left/right) from other hidden options to find them all. (If you can't find a particular Easter egg, check the "DVD Version" section of that email in the [[Strong Bad Email]] section.)
*Each menu has a secret Easter egg if you wait for a while. All are unique in their own ways.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*.exe is a file extension meaning "executable." An executable file contains code for a program and "executes" in an operating system. .exe files are used in [[Wikipedia:Disk Operating System|DOS]], (e.g., "Peasants_Quest.exe" ran the [[Peasant's Quest]] program) and Windows—but not on a Macintosh (which [[The Cheat]] uses). Specifically, "strongbad_email.exe" is what Strong Bad types on his computer to begin nearly every email (except for those on the [[Tandy 400]] and [[secret identity]]).

===Trivia===
*This is [[The Brothers Chaps]]' 3D [[wikipedia:Computer-generated_imagery|CGI]] debut.
*When the DVD set was first released, it was in such high demand that the online [[Store|store]] quickly ran out.

===Real-World References===
*The art for the four DVD covers ([[Strong Bad]], [[Stinkoman]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] and [[Strong Bad#Variations|his other doppelgängers]]) is reminicent of the art on the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' Trilogy on VHS. That set also featured a different half-face on each cover: [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]], [[Wikipedia:Yoda|Yoda]], and a [[Wikipedia:Imperial stormtrooper|Stormtrooper]].

''' STRONG BAD''': Oh-you-thought-there-was-no-more-emails-but-guess-what-there's-an-EMAIL!

''{reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad. 
 
I want to start a new website but I 
don't have any ideas of what to do for 
my website. I was wondering if you 
could give me some ideas for my new 
website. This website will be cool and 
I'll e-mail you when I'm done. 
 
Sincerely Yours: 
James</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Website. I mean, James" instead of just "James"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You know, James, I've been around this great, big internet of ours a few times, so I know what I'm talking about, and I can safely say, that whatever idea you have is completely unimportant as long as you adhere to these fundamentals: ''{clears screen}'' First of all, you want to start out with a long flash intro. ''{stops typing}'' Like this one The Cheat made for me.

''{"The Cheat presents" on a black background appears on the screen, followed by two green, bean-shaped eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Check it out, those are supposed to be my eyes, I think.

''{The eyes fade and the letters "SB" appear. "Strong" and "Bad" are inside each letter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That stands for my name.

'' {The "S" and "B" turn into "The Web" in cursive} ''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "The Web".

''{"The Web" turns into "Welcomes 'u' '2'", the letters made of only horizontal and vertical lines. The words "strong bad's cybersite" appear in red below "Welcomes 'u' '2'". A rainbow circle about 3/4 the size of the "2" comes and rolls in, stopping at the quotation mark before the "2"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That little rainbow thing's kinda cool.

''{The word "cybersite" turns into rainbow colors. The words exit and a blackhole-like thing appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, go through the tunnel, oh look out!

''{As he says "Oh, look out!", a hand appears to punch you, and after it does, the word "OUCH!" appears above it. The words "Get on in!" appear in a long button.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you got punched! Aw, man, right in the face. ''{typing}'' Okay, next on the checklist: ''lots'' of animated GIFs! ''{pronounces it /gifs/; stops typing}'' or... GIFs... ''{pronounces it /jifs/}'' or however you say it. I don't know. I heard a couple of nerds arguing about it one time. ''{clears screen}'' But you want as many of those as possible.

''{An animated GIF appears that cycles between a flame, the word "Fire!" and another flame.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Especially the ''{Another GIF appears, featuring a mouse that looks side to side before revealing a letter labeled "INTERNET?" in its mouth.}'' rotate-y kind. ''{Two rotating GIFs appear, one of a guitar, the other of a diamond that flashes, showing the words "hi rez" which then disappear.}'' Those are awesome, man. Nobody gets tired of looking at those. ''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, then you can pretty much just pick whatever for your subject. It doesn't really matter as long as you got the rest of that stuff on there. ''{stops typing}'' I mean, ''{resumes typing}'' James, the Internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens. You need to take advantage of that. ''{stops typing}''I mean, you can make a webpage of your cat.

''{A picture of a cat lying on a football with [[Wikipedia:Red-eye effect|red eye]] thinking "It's 4th and 10. Now WHERE'S MY SUPPER?!?" appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' or your The Cheat.

''{A picture of [[The Cheat]] sleeping on a couch on his back on a couch thinking "It's 4th and 10. I hate cats."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And, ''{typing}'' Who knows? Maybe tomorrow you'll be really big in Pakistan. Or at least, with some guy named Stan. ''{Stops typing}'' Anyways, I gotta go work on my webpage.

''{Strong Bad leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "strong bad's web page" to go to the Flash intro. Then click on "get on in!" to go to [[Strong Bad's Website]].
**Click on the F10 button at the bottom of the Strong Bad's website to read [[Strong Sad's Lament]], Strong Sad's LiveJournal-esque weblog.
**At the bottom of Strong Bad's website, click on the envelope in the mouse GIF. You get to [[Email Processing Room|the room where the emails are received]].
**Also at the bottom of Strong Bad's website, click on the Email GIF to send an email to Strong bad.
**Clicking on the Enter GIF reloads the website, adding an extra STRONG BAD at the top each time.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The reason Strong Bad says, "Oh-you-thought-there-was-no-more-emails-but-guess-what-there's-an-EMAIL!" might be because fans thought the emails would stop because the [[50 emails|previous email]] ended with the [[Compy 386]] in a "flagrant system error."

===Trivia===
*The cat featured in the email is Mabel, owned by [[Matt Chapman]] and his wife [[Jackie Chapman|Jackie]]. The cat appears to be sporting [http://www.softclaws.com/ Soft Claws], which are an alternative to [[Wikipedia:Onychectomy|declawing]].

===Remarks===
*The "get on in" Flash link during the email itself is clickable, but doesn't do anything.
*At the end of the email Strong Bad says he has to go work on his web site, but then he leaves his computer.
*The music on the intro sounds very close to his description of Strong Bad playing rhythm guitar on the email "[[guitar]]".
*The "long haired freaky cheat" picture on Strong Bad's page never loads.
*The entire email is actually a tongue-in-cheek criticism and mockery of amateur websites that use long flash intros, are uninteresting, and have many animated GIFs (which is frowned upon because many find them annoying, as they distract their attention from the page and are often of poor quality). Other similar criticisms can be found on many humor sites, with the same format (advice on how to make a webpage, including all things that most people find annoying rather than actual helpful hints, though disguised as such).

===Fast Forward===
*According to "[[flashback]]," this is about where Strong Bad lost count of the emails.
*In email 152, "[[isp]]," Strong bad refers to the breakdancing rodent GIF as a gif/jif

== DVD Version ==
*You cannot browse Strong Bad's website on the DVD. However, the intro to his website is still accessible (via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower right corner of the Compy 386 screen).
**Note that the DVD version of the intro is out of sync—Strong Bad begins talking long before the animation ends.

<div style="background:#CFC; border: 1px dashed #090; padding:10px">
'''Checklist for new Weeklies:'''
*Add appropriate new entries to [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and [[Sketchbook]].
*Add a new {{tl|qotw}} line to the Quote of the Week character's page.
*Check that the previous week's quote is on the mirror (Change the link to Mirror:, Show Preview and click the link)
**If it is, change it on [[Quote of the Week]] and the appropriate character page.
*Update the dates on [[Quote of the Week Character Heads]]
*Update [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File]] with [[HR:weeklies/weeklies.xml|weeklies.xml]] (click View->Page Source and copy/paste)
</div> 

==Uniformity==
The fact that these dates won't line up is driving me nuts. Is there some snippet of code we can use to add a date in a sort of uniform manner? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 13:38, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Ask and ye shall receive. Actually, I came here to ask you if you liked the table, but found your note. You like? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:50, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)
::Yeah, it looks wicked! I looked at the code, and even though it's probably rudimentary HTML, I'm lost on it. That's probably gonna be your thing. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 13:55, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::Okay, I did the whole thing. It looks kind of weird now, since some of the quotes are so long. I don't like how the date and download links get moved down. How about another form of writing the date? I tried another one in the first three, check it out. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:05, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::It looks pretty good, but not uniform, ya know? How can we make the long quotey ones look...not jacked up? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:09, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

::::::This may be a stupid question, but can you use html throughout MediaWiki? Or just when creating tables? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:38, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::::::I think it works everywhere. Strong? Em? <strike>Strike?</strike> <tt>Tt?</tt> Yup. Well, at least those tags work. But it's important to use wikitext where possible.

::Okay, I have a mirror for a few of them. Most of them I don't have, though. --FatPamPam

Also, if you keep pressing the QotW button, you don't just get Homestar's broken speech bubble, but you also get a frame where he's saying 'undefined' -- Matt 16:59, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

== blabittablough ==

Am I the only one that hears a very clear z at the beginning of the last "word" of the 12/16 quote? I suggested "zabbitablough" as a more accurate transcription, but it was reverted. (BTW, I agree with "blabittablough" in the actual email, but this sounds different.)
:I hear a "Z," as well. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]]
:Yup. That's definitely a Z. Try changing it again.

Well, it says "zabittablough" on the QOD thing.--[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 14:26, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think it's a "Z"-Catman87

== QoD files ==

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone was interested in these files I found on my HD. If so, I could upload them somewhere for a while. They seem to all be QoDs, though I can't be sure. (One of them (sb_possums.zip) might not be the original download, but a rezip.)

Hi my name is Jess. I have never done wiki before.

I was looking at this quote:

Strong Bad: Oh. Why do you...guys...like me anymore. I-I've lost it! origins outtake.

I don't think the origins strong bad email is the right source for this quote of the week. I just watched the cartoon and I didn't hear the quote in the main toon or in the easter eggs.

Jess

:Hi there Jess. Yeah, it doesn't seem right. Any ideas?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:45, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

::I'm putting in "unknown" for the time being. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 22:19, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::I am quite sure that it IS an outtake from origins. Compare the following two lines:
:::'''[[Strong Bad]] (QOD):''' ''Oh. Why do you''...guys...like me anymore. I-I've lost it!
:::'''STRONG BAD (Origins):''' ''Ugh! Why do you'' Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button, too?
:::The tone is very identical in the parts that match (made italic here). This leads me to believe that it IS indeed an outtake from origins (don't forget, outtakes are recordings that go wrong and are scrapped - they are not part of the final version).
:::While I am the one who originally added outtake to the attribution (originally, it just said origins), I'll let you guys compare for yourselves. --[[User:83.88.139.125|83.88.139.125]] 15:26, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
::::I'm still not convinced, though. The context for the two quotes are entirely different, though the tone ''is'' the same. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 19:26, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)
:::::How on earth do you determine context on a single line? If you mean that the text is different, then that's obvious - it's an outtake, so it would HAVE to be wrong (one way or the other).

:::::::Improvisation is not uncommon in outtakes. It could very easily be explained by Matt forgetting what he was supposed to say, then trying to make up something to go along.

Okay, I just noticed something interesting. Taking a look at the first line of the code for this file, I see "ID3 TT2 sbemail123_messup TEN iTunes v4.7.0.42 COM h engiTunNORM" Problem solved, and it look like we were right with "[[origins]] outake."[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:01, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

:FWIW, that would be the ID3v2 tag. We should probably make a note to check for those things in the future. Most audio players (Winamp, for one) should show that info, so there's no need to get out Notepad or a hex editor or whatever you used :).

== Lost QoDs==

I have a theory that might work. I know it's possible to record the sound from your comp (no clue how, but I know it can be done), so theoretically, couldn't someone record the QoDs without a mirror straight from the toons? It'd come out the same as the QoD, and that could be added to the mirror. -- [[User:nintendorulez|nintendorulez]] 14:38, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Sorry, but it's not the same.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:18, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Darn. Well, it is better than nothing, right?

::::So can Windows and *Sound Recorder*, as long as your soundcard supports full duplex - just configure the Sound Mixer to use the proper input source. But that's not the reason we don't.
::::The sound on the site is of lower quality than the QoDs. Though we *could* sample those that are from the DVD, they often have background noise. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] [[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]] 21:04, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Funniest word style ever ==

Apparently, someone made a useless page that listed the empty "Quote of the Week" phrase as different than the picture here.

Interestingly, the link for the Horrible Painting's quote "Come on in heeere" was homestarrunner.com/weeklies/rocoulm.mp3. "Rocoulm" struck me as an odd name for the mp3, so I thought I'd preserve that for posterity to speculate on. --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

== Very mean and boring ==

Okay, I can sorta see the [[origins]] outtake ("Why do you... guys...") after it was explained to me, but I cannot see that the "very mean... things" quote came from [[boring (really)]] as was previously stated. It sounds to me like a generic-ized version of what Strong Bad says in just about ''every'' email. And, what's more, SB didn't say anything particularly close to it in b(r). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

::: How about this one? Unlikely as it is, can you prove it's not?
:::: ''"This is the Strong Bad show, everybody come on down, there's gonna be lots a guests, and it's gonna be pretty fun, maybe at the end, I'll have a serious moment to talk to you guys, but right now I'm gonna throw a bunch of pies, at The Cheat!" ''
::: Yet I see no one insisting on making them "undetermined." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:16, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
::: PS. As slow as SB is talking in the new quote, he is ''still'' speaking much faster and with a LOT more (mock?) emotion than in b(r). It's just a generic SB-esque thing to say: something mean and funny. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

#When did the QoW start using character heads?
#Wasn't the QoW character heads format just homestar's head used regardless of who was saying stuff, if so, when did they start using *different* character heads for their QoW to show the correct head for a quote?

:I listened to the toon and the QotW at the same time (overlapping), and the words and rhythm are the same.

Now when you hit "Record" in Audacity (or any other recording software) it will record whatever your speakers are playing... so click Record, then play the toon, and you'll have the soundtrack.

The Simpsons used the tai chi/chai tea gag in the 2000 episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMR]".

:Weak. I've seen the episode, and rather than the Homestar Runner gag being a reference to a similar Simpsons gag, I'd say that they're both references to the fact that "chai tea" and "tai chi" sound amusingly similar for things that are both considered "new age" but have no semantic relationship. I don't think that every joke in Homestar Runner needs to be noted with everyone who's used the joke before; here, there's simply no tie to The Simpsons. I vote, strongly, for baleetion.

== Outtakes? ==

I have noticed a lot of the QOTW's have outtake next to them. I cannot find any proof that any of these are outtakes and am wondering how this is comfirmed? {{User:Dylnuge/sig}} 23:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:Careful listening to some, logic for others. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hey, Dylnuge, do you honestly think that they'd make the outtakes available to us normally, like have a blooper reel attached to the emails/toons/whatever? I don't think that's the best idea. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 17:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC) (rhetorical question)

== Latest quote: [[portrait]] outtake? ==

So I noticed my edit was removed that said the new quote was an outtake from portrait... and the person who changed it back was confused as to my reasoning. Well, what happened was that I downloaded the new quote and played it in iTunes, but in iTunes itself the title of the clip was different than the title of the actual file. It said "sbemail139_5_shadowstevens" as the title, which lead me to believe that the quote was an outtake from email 139. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]]

:Ooh, good call. And the quote talks about an "artist". I'm wondering about the "5" part of the file title — The only alternative interpretation is that the quote belongs to a [[Strong Bad Email#Not Quite Strong Bad Emails|NQSBE]] occurring in between #139 and #140. I think yours is the more likely interpretation, though (it comes from version 5 of email 139 or something). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

:: No, you did not answer my question with this. Why would its iTunes name be anything remotely resembling official? That's not its name on the site, and who uploaded it to iTunes anyway. You will have to pardon my ignorance of iTunes, but unless we can be sure it was uploaded by the Bros. Chaps, we really can't call that official. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

::: The fact that he's using iTunes has very little to do with it. "sbemail139_5_shadowstevens" is the title string in the ID3v2 tag for the official version of the file. iTunes is an mp3 player, as well as an interface to Apple's iTunes store. Any other mp3 player should be able to tell you the same thing. Coincidently, The Bros. Chaps must have used iTunes at some point in the production process, because the Encoded By string in the ID3v2 tag is "iTunes v6.0.4.2". --[[User:209.161.251.134|209.161.251.134]] 19:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==

The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.

==Awesome, just AWESOME!==

Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!").

::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon.

==Milkshake?==
I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

==Character Heads On Main Article?==
::I think this necessitates a different discussion. Is the format of this page as good as it can be? Early on, there has been no question that the character name and comma indicated both that this was the character speaking/singing, and that it was the character head used. But with the Chumbly Wumbly Bear song, and now even more so this, we see that there is confusion. Perhaps the character head id should be in its own "character head" column. This would make it clear that ''that'' is what we are noting, and who we hear speaking the quote is not necessarily the same (and is a secondary priority on this page). In cases like the above, we can note elsewhere whether the character head accurately depicts the speaker/singer. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::::I like Qermaq's plan. Had they started with the heads from the beginning, there would have been no question.

::::'''EDIT:''' If we're going to integrate the head, I'd like to see a decision here before somebody goes through them all only to have somebody come up with a better format. I'm thinking split the table into pre and post character heads quote tables, and something like this:

:::Good question. It just doesn't make sense to say that, though. This is, by the book, not an outtake because it is ''in'' the toon. It's not best to blindly follow what TBC say if it's clearly incorrect or misleading.

:::I say we stay with "outtake" — it seems to have [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outtake both meanings], a take that's not used because it ends with a mistake, or any take that's not used (e.g., multiple takes are recorded and only the best is uesd).

68.145.103.189: /* Fun Facts */ Weekly Fanstuff note

{{mainnav|15|14|16}}
[[Image:Main15.PNG|220px|thumb|Poorly Powered.]]

A page made using [[Powered by The Cheat]] technology.

'''Cast:''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}

'''Places:''' [[The Field]], [[The Cheat's Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' The Cheat

'''Page title:''' "Powered by The Cheat"

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' - A circle with a slash through it appears over Homestar Runner.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' - Homestar spits when he says games and a blinking games logo with lightning flashes behind him.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' - A JPEG ship that says "wear a bikini" spins around then pans out, disappearing from view.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' - Strong Bad moves with a poorly done shape tween and says, "I am over here," then jumps back and says, "Now I am back over here." This motion repeats infinitely for as long as the cursor is held over the button.
*'''[[Store]]''' - An oval sun lights up around the Store button and Strong Sad floats through the sky and says, "I'm sad that I'm flying..."
*'''[[Email]]''' - The scene pulls back to show The Cheat and Strong Bad watching the main page in action, to which Strong Bad comments on The Cheat's work. Three possible comments:
**'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Exclamatory The Cheat noises}'' '''STRONG BAD:''' Once again, your visual style just looks thrown together. It looks like you don't care.
**'''STRONG BAD:''' And what is that terrible voice? Is that supposed to be Homestar? '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Defensive The Cheat noises}''
**'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Questioning The Cheat noises}'' '''STRONG BAD:''' The animation looks terrible. It's all jerky, ya know, like it was done by a two years old boy.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Glitchy.png|thumb|One Messed Up Main Page to Go!]]
*The ship shown when you hover over the "Characters" button is the [[Wikipedia:SS United States|SS ''United States'']], an ocean liner that operated from 1952 to 1969.
*"[[Wear a Bikini!]]" is a recurring [[Inside Jokes|inside joke]].
*The Strong Bad that goes back and forth is a typical example of [[Wikipedia:Tweening|shape tweening]] in Macromedia Flash. This technique is commonly used by cheap Flash animation.
*When you roll over "Email", some things happen"
**After rolling over "Email", you will see that the museum button will shift up and down.
**After rolling over "Email", you can quickly roll over the other buttons on The Cheat's computer.
**After rolling over "Email", you can roll over the spot where the button is to restart a Strong Bad/The Cheat sequence.
***If you roll over it at just the end of their conversation (this is difficult), the main page frame (with the buttons around the edge) will appear, but the conversation will restart. An easier method is to right-click and click "Play".
*Strong Sad's quote is later referenced in [[helium]].
**Also, when Strong Sad's shirt was featured as Item of the Week for January 20-26, 2006, in the [[Store]], Strong Sad said, "I'm sad that I'm the item of the week."
**The January 18, 2007 [[Weekly Fanstuff]] text references this as well.

== Marzipan's first scroll buttons song ==

I think marzipan says: 'And thats how I like to scroll, with scroll buttons'.

:'And thats why I like to scroll, with scroll buttons' DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!!!!!!

::Yes it does. She's saying that that's why she likes to scroll with scroll buttons rather than by any other means. Anyway, doesn't the new sbemailrap prove that?

== Marzipan's second scroll buttons song ==

In the transcript it's written 'Scroll buttons are good, they move you up and down' while I'm sure what she says is 'Scroll buttons are good, they move you like they should...' after '''''triple'''''-checking.

== Butkus "reference" ==

I don't think that the real-world reference to Dick Butkus stated in the Wiki is correct. There are several people with the last name Butkus, and I know of at least one other than Dick who is "famous" -- John Butkus of Bungie. I don't think this reference was meant to refer to Dick, but rather as a silly last name that would be easy to poke fun at.

== Ellipsis ==

If you use an ellipsis and follow with a capitalized sentence or sentence fragment, the preceding requires terminal punctuation. Therefore, the ellipsis requires a total of 4 periods - 3 for the ellipsis, 1 for the terminal punctuation. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
:It's one sentence. The is no noticeable pause in the toon for the phrase "Um... Crapface." "Crapface" is capitalized, I presume, because it's being treated as a name. Therefore, there doesn't need to be but one period in that sentence, at the end. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

== Audio Glitch ==

I can hear the first 1/3 of a second or so of the easter egg at the end of the e-mail, even if i don't click "Cheats". There's about 5 seconds of silence followed by a loud distorted "UT" sound. Can anybody else verify this? - [[User:Poobslag|Poobslag]]
:Hi, and welcome. That sort of thing happens often. As I recall, that's notable as a glitch. Good ears. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Sarcasm used with bad comment... ==

Strong Bad used a sarcastic tone for his "worst song" comment to Marzipan. That's kind of double-negative, isn't it? "Does that mean he actually liked it though?" is what I'm saying. --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 14:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

If you use an ellipsis and follow with a capitalized sentence or sentence fragment, the preceding requires terminal punctuation. Therefore, the ellipsis requires a total of 4 periods - 3 for the ellipsis, 1 for the terminal punctuation. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
:It's one sentence. The is no noticeable pause in the toon for the phrase "Um... Crapface." "Crapface" is capitalized, I presume, because it's being treated as a name. Therefore, there doesn't need to be but one period in that sentence, at the end. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
::Well, if that's the consensus.... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

== Audio Glitch ==

I can hear the first 1/3 of a second or so of the easter egg at the end of the e-mail, even if i don't click "Cheats". There's about 5 seconds of silence followed by a loud distorted "UT" sound. Can anybody else verify this? - [[User:Poobslag|Poobslag]]
:Hi, and welcome. That sort of thing happens often. As I recall, that's notable as a glitch. Good ears. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== "Delorted" goof ==

Okay, I've tried to elaborate on it. I don't have a Flash decompiler, so I'm asking someone out there to try that out and see what's actually wrong (or if this can be confirmed). --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 23:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
:I used a decompiler and blended several images to show how it would look if Strong Bad's head weren't in the way. Note, in [[:Image:delorted.png|the image]], the word isn't actually on top of the Compy's screen; that's just for illustrative purposes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is obviously not a goof. We do not see any symbols displayed outside the screen, and there's nothing wrong with asking a computer to display the first part of a word that is too long for the screen. I'm moving this to Remarks.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

== Sarcasm used with bad comment... ==

Strong Bad used a sarcastic tone for his "worst song" comment to Marzipan. That's kind of double-negative, isn't it? "Does that mean he actually ended up liking it though?" is what I'm saying. --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 14:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Quote of the Week

68.145.103.189 — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:57:47 GMT

68.145.103.189: /* Quotes */

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" ovular button; it was labeled "Quote of the Day", but rolling over it would change the title to "Quote of the Week", and clicking would change it to "Quote of the Month", to denote its irregular updates (The original quote box read also read "Quote of the Day (or so)", as shown in the image). The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

==Fun Facts==
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Occasionally, some quotes will be used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
**The Homestar Runner's quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" when played in Windows Media Player. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.

Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" ovular button; it was labeled "Quote of the Day", but rolling over it would change the title to "Quote of the Week", and clicking would change it to "Quote of the Month", to denote its irregular updates (The original quote box read also read "Quote of the Day (or so)", as shown in the image). The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

==Fun Facts==
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Occasionally, some quotes will be used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
**The Homestar Runner's quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" when played in Windows Media Player. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Our next show, is a family show. It...is...the email.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class= "compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Have you ever thought who will take 
your place when you retire? 
 
Your friend, 
Jeffrey Desterhoft</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You've got a good point there, Jeffy. I suppose I can't keep checking these e-mails forever. I never really thought about finding an heir to my throne before. Come to think of it, what ever happened to my throne?

''{Strong Bad stops typing, picks up a phone, and talks into it, making a sound like a loudspeaker in a supermarket}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Attention The Cheat. Customer needs assistance in e-mail. Customer needs assistance in e-mail.

''{Strong Bad puts down the phone, which is not attached to anything. The Cheat arrives in a blue employee's vest with his name on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, didn't I use to have a throne of some kind?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{points at the stool and makes The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, no, this is my ''stool''. I'm talking about a ''throne''. You know, it had, like...gold nuggets on it, and...a hundred cup holders...some of them velvety cushions...you know, a ''throne''. And I think I had a motorcycle, too. See if you can find those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the best way to find a replacement is to subject a bunch of applicants to the same rigorous screening process that I subjected myself to ''{begins to sound unsure of what he is saying}'' when I started checking these emails?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar standing in the Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna hold up a last name, and you make fun of it. ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Gargleman" written on it}'' Gargleman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up a cue card that reads "Dumweiner"}'' Dumweiner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhh, Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Butkus"}'' Butkus.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Crambert"}'' Crambert.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Desterhoft"}'' Desterhoft.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think about it; ''{without hesitation}'' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Perfect score!

''{Cut to the computer room with Strong Bad and Coach Z in front of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "deleted."

''{He presses a button on the keyboard and the Compy displays DELETED on a blue background, making the standard DELETED sound.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">DELETED!</blockquote>

'''COACH Z:''' DELORTED!

''{Compy flashes DELORTED on a yellow background and makes a distorted version of the DELETED sound. Strong Bad looks surprised.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#8B8B00; text-align:center">DELORTED!</blockquote>

''{Cut to the basement with Strong Bad and Bubs and a cardboard box with Strong Sad drawn on it sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the teeth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's good, that's good, even though he might not have any teeth. What else?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the grill!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah! Keep going!

'''BUBS:''' ''{turns to face Strong Bad}'' Kick ''you'' in the grill!

''{Bubs starts to approach Strong Bad, waving his arms and yelling menacingly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nervously}'' No, no, Bubs, calm down, this is only a drill!

''{Cut to Marzipan's house with Strong Bad and Marzipan holding [[Carol]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "scroll buttons" song.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' And that's why I like to scroll, with scroll buttons!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, right, right, the worst song I ever heard. Play another one!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' Scroll buttons are good, they move you up and down, they take you to...

''{Strong Bad groans. Cut to the basement, with Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and the same cardboard box with Strong Sad on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Strong Sad, Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go make him some hummus!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hummus?! No, try something else.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... Give him a foot massage!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks at Strong Sad's [[Soolnds|soolnds]]}'' Those are not feet!

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat. The Cheat is wearing a cardboard box that has a drawing of himself on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I want you to pretend this is The Cheat, and give him a good, swift, kick in The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{bends one of his legs back, then pauses}'' Umm... ''{puts his leg back down}'' Crapface.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front of his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''{typing}'' This screening process is neither processing nor screening very well. I suppose I should cut to the chase and haul out the big guns...DANCE CONTEST!

''{Cut to a stage. Music is playing. We see the top part of Strong Bad's head watching each contestant. The first contestant is Marzipan, who spins her ponytail around while moving her head left and right. Cut to Coach Z, who taps his right foot while waving his arms. Cut to Strong Sad simply twitching his fingers. Cut to Bubs shaking his arms while jumping up and down. Cut to Strong Mad, who simply stands in place and yells.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M STRONG MAD! I'M STRONG MAD!

''{Cut to Homsar, who shuffles his feet all along the stage. The camera then cuts to and zooms in on Homestar, who is lit by a spotlight. The music changes to the ending of a slow, dramatic song.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And then I put it on my faaaaace...

''{Cut to Strong Bad at his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, this dance contest is neither contesting nor dancing very well. Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die. ''{stops typing}'' Whoa, that'd make an awesome tattoo! Or an even better epitaph!

''{Cut to the field at night. A blank tombstone is on the foreground, and as we hear Strong Bad's voice, his words are carved on the slab.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Here lies Strong Bad

''{underneath, in slightly smaller letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Checking e-mails and kicking Cheats in the hereafter"

''{underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Buried with his hundred girlfriends

''{underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And like, a jillion dollars

''{underneath, in even smaller letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Please don't dig up the grave.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the word "Cheats" to see another exchange between Strong Bad and The Cheat:

:''{Cut to The Cheat near his light switch, still wearing his uniform.}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen, into speakerphone}'' A-ttention The Cheat!

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

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Have you found that motorcycle yet? ''{slight pause}'' Maybe check in our...stock room.

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

:'''STRONG BAD:''' And Dana needs more quarters on register three.

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

'''MATT:''' What's he's saying right now is from an old audio recording that I made.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Matt, before we had a video camera, he and his friend, you know, would just make movies and...

'''MATT:''' Radio plays!

'''MIKE:''' On, aha, on audio cassette! He had a bad tape recorder.

'''MATT:''' And our friend TJ said that, and he could, he was like four or something and couldn't talk very well, or at least couldn't re-memorize lines at the time 'cuz he was so young, and it was called "The Hostess Cake": "Our next show is a family show. It is... The Hostess Cake"... Mike, how did he do that with his voice?! That phone's clearly not plugged in!

'''MIKE:''' It's like Coach Z's phone from another cartoon. I dunno. I dunno, Matt. I just make the cartoons.

'''MATT:''' That's clearly a Wal-Mart vest that The Cheat is wearing there, I think, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Also, there's "Alone in the Dark" back there. Is that... this is, okay, this is before that horrible "Alone in the Dark" movie that just came out.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah, did that already come out?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah! It was just in the theater for, like, two days.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Bad idea.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, what are we— Which one is this? Replacements?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's trying to find an heir to the throne!

'''MATT:''' Oooooh.

''{pause until Strong Bad holds up the "Desterhoft" card}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey, that's the name of the guy that sent the email!

'''MATT:''' That's a funny name.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitates the "Deleted" buzzer, then again as Strong Bad DELETEs the email}''

'''MATT:''' ''{of "DELORTED"}'' Oof. That brown screen is gross. I like it. Now this is our friend [[Craig Zobel]], who... you all know. His favorite thing ever on our website is right here where Bubs attacks Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' That's just me being ba— being a lazy animator. It wasn't supposed to be funny.

'''MATT:''' ''{partially over the last line}'' No, that was you being a genius.

'''MIKE:''' It wasn't supposed to be funny.

'''MATT:''' It's hilarious.

'''MIKE:''' Didn't you record Strong Bad singing one of these scroll buttons songs for the scroll button menu?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. I did.

'''MIKE:''' We oughta use that.

'''MATT:''' Never have. Maybe we should. It's been the same one for a while now.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{of the box with Strong Sad's image}'' That Strong Sad drawing is pretty great. The Cheat clearly drew that for him. ''{after Strong Bad's "Those are not feet.}'' What are they called, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Soolnds?

'''MATT:''' Soolnd.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' So we got a dance party coming up where Coach Z is doing our friend Claire's dance.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. I remember... that's a good dance.

'''MIKE:''' There it is.

'''MATT:''' The Claire dance. I don't know if Claire knows that we have Coach Z doing her dance.

'''MIKE:''' Does she know we have a name for her dance?

'''MATT:''' I don't know if she knows that either. I hope she doesn't get mad.

'''MIKE:''' I did all this. That's why the dances are pretty lame.

'''MATT:''' Homestar is singing in a dance contest, Mike. He doesn't, he obviously doesn't know what's going on.

'''MIKE:''' Even if it was a singing contest, it was a pretty bad song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno what he's talking about, but I dunno what he just put on his face.

''{they laugh}''

'''MATT:''' It's a great song, I think. It's very interesting. It makes you wonder. What did— and what happened that spawned that?

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

''{pause until The Paper}''

'''MIKE:''' That's it.

'''MATT:''' Preeow.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Our next show, is a family show. It...is...the email.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class= "compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Have you ever thought who will take 
your place when you retire? 
 
Your friend, 
Jeffrey Desterhoft</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You've got a good point there, Jeffy. I suppose I can't keep checking these e-mails forever. I never really thought about finding an heir to my throne before. Come to think of it, what ever happened to my throne?

''{Strong Bad stops typing, picks up a phone, and talks into it, making a sound like a loudspeaker in a supermarket}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Attention The Cheat. Customer needs assistance in e-mail. Customer needs assistance in e-mail.

''{Strong Bad puts down the phone, which is not attached to anything. The Cheat arrives in a blue employee's vest with his name on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, didn't I use to have a throne of some kind?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{points at the stool and makes The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, no, this is my ''stool''. I'm talking about a ''throne''. You know, it had, like...gold nuggets on it, and...a hundred cup holders...some of them velvety cushions...you know, a ''throne''. And I think I had a motorcycle, too. See if you can find those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the best way to find a replacement is to subject a bunch of applicants to the same rigorous screening process that I subjected myself to ''{begins to sound unsure of what he is saying}'' when I started checking these emails?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar standing in the Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna hold up a last name, and you make fun of it. ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Gargleman" written on it}'' Gargleman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up a cue card that reads "Dumweiner"}'' Dumweiner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhh, Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Butkus"}'' Butkus.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Crambert"}'' Crambert.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Desterhoft"}'' Desterhoft.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think about it; ''{without hesitation}'' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Perfect score!

''{Cut to the computer room with Strong Bad and Coach Z in front of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "deleted."

''{He presses a button on the keyboard and the Compy displays DELETED on a blue background, making the standard DELETED sound.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">DELETED!</blockquote>

'''COACH Z:''' DELORTED!

''{Compy flashes DELORTED on a yellow background and makes a distorted version of the DELETED sound. Strong Bad looks surprised.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#8B8B00; text-align:center">DELORTED!</blockquote>

''{Cut to the basement with Strong Bad and Bubs and a cardboard box with Strong Sad drawn on it sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the teeth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's good, that's good, even though he might not have any teeth. What else?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the grill!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah! Keep going!

'''BUBS:''' ''{turns to face Strong Bad}'' Kick ''you'' in the grill!

''{Bubs starts to approach Strong Bad, waving his arms and yelling menacingly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nervously}'' No, no, Bubs, calm down, this is only a drill!

''{Cut to Marzipan's house with Strong Bad and Marzipan holding [[Carol]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "scroll buttons" song.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' And that's why I like to scroll, with scroll buttons!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, right, right, the worst song I ever heard. Play another one!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' Scroll buttons are good, they move you up and down, they take you to...

''{Strong Bad groans. Cut to the basement, with Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and the same cardboard box with Strong Sad on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Strong Sad, Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go make him some hummus!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hummus?! No, try something else.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... Give him a foot massage!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks at Strong Sad's [[Soolnds|soolnds]]}'' Those are not feet!

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat. The Cheat is wearing a cardboard box that has a drawing of himself on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I want you to pretend this is The Cheat, and give him a good, swift, kick in The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{bends one of his legs back, then pauses}'' Umm... ''{puts his leg back down}'' Crapface.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front of his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''{typing}'' This screening process is neither processing nor screening very well. I suppose I should cut to the chase and haul out the big guns...DANCE CONTEST!

''{Cut to a stage. Music is playing. We see the top part of Strong Bad's head watching each contestant. The first contestant is Marzipan, who spins her ponytail around while moving her head left and right. Cut to Coach Z, who taps his right foot while waving his arms. Cut to Strong Sad simply twitching his fingers. Cut to Bubs shaking his arms while jumping up and down. Cut to Strong Mad, who simply stands in place and yells.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M STRONG MAD! I'M STRONG MAD!

''{Cut to Homsar, who shuffles his feet all along the stage. The camera then cuts to and zooms in on Homestar, who is lit by a spotlight. The music changes to the ending of a slow, dramatic song.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And then I put it on my faaaaace...

''{Cut to Strong Bad at his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, this dance contest is neither contesting nor dancing very well. Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die. ''{stops typing}'' Whoa, that'd make an awesome tattoo! Or an even better epitaph!

''{Cut to the field at night. A blank tombstone is on the foreground, and as we hear Strong Bad's voice, his words are carved on the slab.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Here lies Strong Bad

''{underneath, in slightly smaller letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Checking e-mails and kicking Cheats in the hereafter"

''{underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Buried with his hundred girlfriends

''{underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And like, a jillion dollars

''{underneath, in even smaller letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Please don't dig up the grave.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the word "Cheats" to see another exchange between Strong Bad and The Cheat:

:''{Cut to The Cheat near his light switch, still wearing his uniform.}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen, into speakerphone}'' A-ttention The Cheat!

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

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Have you found that motorcycle yet? ''{slight pause}'' Maybe check in our...stock room.

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

:'''STRONG BAD:''' And Dana needs more quarters on register three.

The filenames you get when you click SB's diamond are heavily truncated and abbreviated, and match the style of old DOS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3 8.3] names (that's in length... 8 letters, a period, and three more letters) that were in use before long file names were made possible through Windows. Such names were used so filenames could still be descriptive and still fit within the 8.3 limitations at the same time. However SB's filenames are still clearly far too long to fit within 8.3 characters. --[[User:64.195.243.2|64.195.243.2]] 14:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

No real-world reference for this? My first thought was actually Grand Funk Railroad's "Some Kind of Wonderful" (which I have heard), but after some research I suppose the often-covered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_I_Get_a_Witness Marvin Gaye title] (which I have not heard) is more likely.

== Sad eyes? ==
[[Image:Sadbad.png|thumb|The saddest of Bads...]]
At the beginning, Strong Bad's eyes are sad (the top halves are taken off). Isn't this noteworthy since it doesn't happen very often?
:I don't recall it ever happening. Let's get a few more keen observers to chime in though. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== DULLARD = Dilbert ==

== Saving the orphanage ==

First thing that came to my mind. Glad I'm not the only one Anonny. I say yes! -- [[User: TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] -- Here, now, on my time.

It's kind of standard drama, saving the orphanage, saving the orphans. Hey, maybe it's Ibsen's ''Ghosts.''

== What year is it? ==

How many times now has Strong Bad gotten the year wrong? There's #150, there's the comic convention, this one, any others?

:That's not altogether true. In regards to 150, he quickly corrected himself at the end ("All my Strong Bad doppelg䀀ngers represent... Sesquicentenn-email, 2005— I-I mean six."). And here he says, "Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-ought dweice! It just means 2002..." He said, "Like it was." [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

== Buck OR nine ==

I'm almost certain that SB is saying "Everybody's trying to make a buck OR nine off of my etc. etc." Listen to it with a good pair of headphones and the "R" sound comes through quite clearly. By extension, I think that the "Buck o' Nine" CA ska band reference is quite unlikely. -[[User:TobyTheRobot|TobyTheRobot]] 03:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

== Real-world reference that hasn't been mentioned ==

Marshie's body when he says "Win Big" is likely meant to be a parody of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters

== Slink? ==

I'm positive that "Slink" is a reference to "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the TV special) because they say "slink" and he moves just like it... I even told my sis about how Strong Bad moved off the couch and her first reaction was "Oh, from the Grinch!" I'm desperately trying to find my copy so I can confirm this. Can I get a witness?

== Long filenames ==

The 8.3 filename restriction wasn't anything to do with FAT16 vs. FAT32; "long filename" support was introduced in windows with the "vfat" driver, which came ''before'' FAT32 came around. The two things happened at around the same time, but they're not related in any way.

:I exploded the cooling system in my mom's computer and it continued to work fine.

Sorry, new to Wiki-editing, but I was wondering if that fact that Strongbad's reply is in this e-mail doesn't seem to fully conform to the compy's auto hole formatting would count as a goof? --[[User:Ilascott|Ilascott]]

: Maybe somehow the email was already like that, and its just that there were spaces between the parts, but strong bad didn't do that --[[User: Penguindude|Penguindude]]

==Lappy's "toe" missing==

It isn't a goof, because it was a goof in part A.

== "I give you...Kong, the eighth wonder of the world!" ==

I'm trying to add the fact that, though "the eighth wonder of the world" is applied a lot, Strong Bad's use is almost certainly a direct reference to the most famous, Carl Denham's carnival-barker-like use of the term to introduce Kong in captivity in the classic 1933 film "King Kong." However, it keeps getting undone, instantly.

I've seen the movie enough times that it was the first thing to come to mind when Strong Bad used the term. In fact, that's the most famous one, as I said; furthermore, the combination of Strong Bad as carnival barker, and the fact that he's introducing Strong Mad, seems to make it extremely plausible. I stand by it.--[[User:128.120.173.11|128.120.173.11]] 17:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

==Leviathan?==

Should "Leviathan" be a real-world reference? It's a sea monster in the Old Testament.

*The the appearance of the ghosts of Tandy and Compy watching over as Strong Bad and Lappy are happily walking in the sunset may be a reference to the end of [[Wikipedia:Return of the Jedi|Return of the Jedi]] when the ghosts of [[Wikipedia:Obi Wan|Obi Wan]], [[Wikipedia:Anakin Skywalker|Anakin Skywalker]], and [[Wikipedia:Yoda|Yoda]] appear during the victory celebration.

Have yet to see any hushpuppies at all in the Seattle area.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:29, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

== 119 ==

Could "number 119 deleted" be the 119th e-mail Strong Bad has deleted, or does it repersent email 119([[animal]])?
:The fun facts say animal. Checking the [[DELETED]] page, it doesn't appear to be 119 listed. Of course, it could just be random, too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think it's plausible to say it might have been the 119th deleted email, but there's absolutely nothing on the site to corroborate that. It would be speculation at best. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== Order in the court ==

When I added the "Changes" section, I put the facts in chronological order, as we do with Easter eggs and cast lists. It's dot com then rearranged it, putting them in functional order (for instance, grouping differences based on the missing comma key together. I don't want to get into an edit war over this, so let's put it to the vote. Chronological or functional? I'm with '''chronological''', of course. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:26, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
:Or we could discuss it. The list is in ''mostly'' chronological order, but the most important part is now first (describing how they were actually combined), and the two parts about the commas are together. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
::Discussing it always seems either turn into a vote or fizzle into nothing anyway when there are two people who disagree. I was just trying to beat it there. >_> Anyway, I'm just not sure that the "combining" aspect ''is'' the most important part; that's very subjective. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
:::If the combining aspect is not the most important change, then what is? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
::::To be clear that we're talking about the same thing, the note at the top of the section already says that they were combined; what I meant was that the part about the paper's absence and the fade-in/out wasn't necessarily the most important part. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
:::::I'm still not sure I agree, but I no longer disagree enough for it to be out of chronological order, so I put it back like you had it. See? We didn't need a vote after all, just a talk. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

== Tandy is already "dead"! ==
The Lappy was seen as a ghost in Email 48, yet now it's back in physical form - that's a bit strange. I'm not an experienced wiki editor, so if this doesn't belong in "Inside References" please move it to where it does belong.
— Joshua 17:15 11 October 2006 (UTC) {{unsigned|207.67.97.70|17:15 11 October 2006 (UTC)}}

DorianGray, why did you remove my edit? "The king had its physical body" does not make the unusual situation normal. If I saw your ghost while you were still alive, that's even wierder than if I saw your ghost when you were dead. This requires an answer, or I will replace my change. {{unsigned|207.67.97.70|22:29 11 October 2006 (UTC)}}

:HRWiki is not the place for philosophical debates about matters of the soul, even as they apply to personified electrical appliances... suffice it to say that computers, unlike humans, can be repaired from beyond the brink of death, so after being repaired at least enough to function as a sparking mess (possibly by the KoT, possibly by Bubs, who knows?) who's to say that the Tandy's spirit didn't return to the physical computer? To claim either way would be complete speculation on a matter that TBC have made no attempt to nail down, and thus not worthy of mention on the page. If you do want to discuss this, perhaps the [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewforum.php?f=13 "Religion and Politics" section of the forum] would be more appropriate... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

: Anyway, the ''Lappy'' never died. How could you confuse the Lappy for the Tandy?! '''Lap'''py = '''lap'''top. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:10, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

== Wait a freakin' minute Stanley! ==

70.21.131.249 added the FF:

"On the tandy when you put the contross buttons up a little they will restart when homestar appears with the mountain dew"

I won't pretend to understand that. Then Jay reverted it with this summary:

"This only happens in like every single Tandy/Compy email ever!"

Can any party offer some sort of explanation as to why any of this transpired? Thanks. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
:He probably means that the Tandy's contrast is reset when the toon cuts from SB typing to a wider shot that includes Homestar.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
::Exactly. In no email ever have the contrast settings been maintained between scene cuts. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

==Piped Links==

What is the standard for piped links? Should we be using <nowiki>[[retirement (combined)|retirement]], or just [[retirement (combined)]]</nowiki> until it's renamed, if it is at all. I don't see the point of piping the links. [[User:70.70.150.54|70.70.150.54]]
:You're right. It's officially called [[retirement (combined)]], so that's how we should call it too.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
::I've been using the unpiped links myslef... Except, maybe one time where I piped it to show about A and B as separate. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Then there's a couple of fixes due [[Special:Contributions/Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|here]] then, for whoever's interested. [[User:70.70.150.54|70.70.150.54]]

==Possible Steve Irwin Reference==

Strong Bad's line: "You gotta be kidding me. Man, everybody's trying to make a buck or nine off my heart-drooping loss." may be a RWR to tried to sell fony Steve Irwin merchandise after his death, as well as bumper stickers sold.
:Remember Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch Armstrong? This is unlikely to be a reference especially because the story line was already begun before Irwin died. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:05, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
::Also, I think TBC have quite a bit better taste than that. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

== No armed kingy? ==

Is this the first time that we see the exposed shoulders of the KoT ? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 04:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
:No, he wore the same suit in [[keep cool]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Closed STUFF ==

{{stuffcloseddecline}}

=== This little piggy ===
{{stufffact|Furthermore, the Lappy asks if Strong Bad "can find my toe", despite the fact that it was attached to the kidnapping note at the end of cliffhangers.}}
{{stuffverdict|23:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)|04:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)|declined|15|3|retirement}}

== possible Eureka Seven rwr? ==
at one point in the series renton uses chips as an "anti-depressant" sorry if this is a bit of stretch but I figured I'd mention it.
:No problem — the talk page is the perfect place to bring up this sort of thing. I'm not familiar with Eureka Seven, but I would doubt that this is a reference to it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
::well in anycase it was oddly similar to me and it would more than likely go down to if TBC watch much anime. on a more fun note it added another chuckle to the sbemail intended or not!

== "Gothic Font" ==

The "gothic font", as refered to in the transcript, looks like Cloister Black or one of its variants.

When Strong Bad checks his last Tandy email, his head was on the position from the first seven emails ever. (before they started making Strong Bad's head move when he talks instead). Does this count? Is it already there? --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 22:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm checkin' e-mail, I'm checkin' e-mail. Hey, hey, I'm checkin' e-mail, I'm checkin' e-mail.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was just wondering, why doesn't 
Strong Mad have his own cartoon? 
 
Your fan, 
Jess G. OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dah Sto Bo" and "Jess G. OH" as "Jess... G'oh!!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Jess, as much as I cherish brother Graw Mad, let's look at the facts:

''{A grid appears on the screen and lines "scan" across from top to bottom and then left to right, revealing an image of Strong Mad next to which it says "Fact 1:"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fact one: The guy's got a pretty tenuous grasp on the English language.

''{"Tenuous grasp of the English language" appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' For examplé: ''{pronounced ex-AM-play}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad at his desk. He turns on his stool and calls off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Strong Mad! What, uh.. What's my favorite movie?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' ''GARBLEDINA''!

''{Cut back to the screen where it says "Fact 2:"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fact two: ''Garbledina''.

''{"Garbledina" appears on the screen and the illustrated Strong Mad's eyebrows raise. Strong Bad strikes a key and "Fact 3" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fact three: he's like a big square, this guy.

''{"Like a big square" appears and a box encloses the image of Strong Mad, which looks around nervously. The left and bottom edges are labeled "88 in."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't really know if that has anything to do with why he doesn't have his own cartoon. But it's just weird, is all.

''{"Just weird is all" appears on the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Un..settling.

''{"Unsettling" appears.}''

''{Cut to a landscape filled with blue and pink cubes and a yellow sky. Strong Mad appears with a loud "thud."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess if he lived in Cubeland it might work, but.. Cubeland—

''{A "Cubeland" logo flies in from the right and comes to rest in the upper-left corner. Strong Mad looks around a bit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is a place I just made up, so..on to fact four.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's screen which now reads "Fact 4."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Zero volume control.

''{"No volume control" appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once again, obsoyve.

''{The Strong Mad image glances at the text.}''

''{Cut to Strong Mad sitting behind a table with a small orange clay dinosaur and yellow and green clay upright cylinders. Strong Bad enters from the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' Hey, biggest bro. Mom says to keep it down 'cause  baby Strong Sad's sleeping.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN BE THE QUIETEST MOUSE!

''{He holds up his right hand, index finger, and thumb together to demonstrate something very small, like a mouse.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I LIVE IN THE QUIETEST HOUSE!

''{He holds up his other hand in the same position.}''

''{Cut back to the screen. "Fact 5" is on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fact five: Directorial inexperience.

''{"Directorial inexperience" appears on the screen.}''

''{Pull out to Strong Bad typing the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Considering the only movie Strong Mad's ever made is 'Doug the Dino,' I doubt he'd be able to handle an entire cartoon on his own.

''{Cut to the television. After some static, a grainy video appears. A title made out of clay which says "DOUG THE DiNO" (the "O" in Dino is in the shape of an egg) appears.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{narrating}'' DINOSAUR!

''{Cut to the two clay cylinders. The clay dinosaur enters. Strong Mad makes various noises to go along with the action. Doug the Dino roars. The green cylinder flips over like a Slinky and a smiling face appears on it. Suddenly, Doug the Dino attacks it and it spills clay [[Blood|blood]]. While Doug is eating the green cylinder, a tape dispenser can be seen for a few frames. The yellow cylinder appears to flee as Doug licks his lips. A clay toilet enters and Doug presses the flush lever. The seat lifts and a red appendage appears out of the toilet, grasps Doug by the face, and pulls him in. The green cylinder "sits up" and smiles and Strong Mad's hand can be seen leaning on the table for a few frames.}''

''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Y'see? Misguided direction, no comedic timing, and the script is riddled with gaping plot holes. ''{not typing}'' And finally, ''{typing}'' Fact 6: Have you seen his computer?!?

''{Cut to Strong Mad's room, where Strong Mad has decorated a paper bag to look like [[Tandy 400]] (with the word "DISK" on the screen) and an up-turned cardboard box to look like Strong Bad's [[Floppy Disk Container]] (which says "disks").}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' E-COMMERCE! E-BUSINESS!!

''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So let's review. Fact 1: Ehgh--

''{Pull out to Homestar Runner sitting on the desk, facing away from Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{speaking quietly}'' I want my own cartoon, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I'm over here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still quietly}'' Oh. ''{turns to face Strong Bad}'' I want my own cartoon, Pom Pom.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, a cartoon starring you would be horrible. It'd just be you saying "Sewiously" all the time and acting like a moron...all the time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{normally}'' No, no! Not no more! I got a new catchphrase!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You wanna hear it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'd be all the time sayin' "That's bupkis!" ''{whispering}'' Oh, sorry. "That's bupkis!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you whispering for?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' Be''cause!'' Baby Strong Sad is ''sleeping!''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, you see this disgusting little chit-chat we're having here? This is what your cartoon would be like.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Then it'd be a number one hit! ''{singing}'' And that's the end of my show! DONK!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Clicking on "Script" shows the entire script for Strong Mad’s epic film, '[[Doug the Dino]]'.
<blockquote>int: dinosaur - day 
go dougie!! 
RAWR!! 
toilet. (drawing of a [[Toilets|toilet]])</blockquote>
*Click on Homestar's star at the end to see Homestar's commercial break bumper.
:''{A screen featuring Homestar holding a popsicle and the words "We'll Be Right Back!" appears}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, voiceover}'' Homestar Runner will be right right back! 
:Homestar Runner will be right right back! 
:Homestar Runner will be right right back! 
:We're coming right back after these messages! 
:We're coming right back after these messageeeees...

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
* "Bupkis" is a Yiddish word used in English to mean 'nothing' or 'almost nothing'. Sample usage: "I work here for him ten hours a day, all week, and what does he give me? Bupkis!"
===Trivia===
*This is [[The Brothers Chaps]]' [[Stop Motion|claymation]] debut.
*The [[Cardboard Boxes|box]] on Strong Mad's desk that says disks on it also reads 'NOT CAR PARTS' upside down.
*The email used to have a glitch in it. If you clicked the eject button on the video recorder during 'Doug the Dino', it would bring you back to the loading screen and freeze there. This may be due to [[The VCR|the VCR]] being copied from the "Characters" menu. (On that screen, the eject button pops out Homsar's tape.) The glitch has been removed, though. The eject button is now unclickable.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#thexder|thexder]]".

===Remarks===
*If Strong Bad's measurements are correct, Strong Mad is 88 inches, or 7'4" (2.26 meters) tall and wide. However, The Cheat implied in [[i she be]] that Strong Mad was 6 feet tall. Meanwhile, according to a [[HR:smsticker.html|page]] that is no longer on the main site, Strong Mad weighs 900 lbs and is eight feet three inches tall. Of course, since it is known that Strong Mad is not actually a square; in fact, he's actually about 7.25% taller than he is wide. So, based on the dimensions given, if he were 88" wide, he would be approximately 95" tall. On the other hand, if he were 88" tall, he would only be about 82" wide. Finally, if he were 6' (72") tall as mentioned earlier, he would be a mere 67" wide.
**Plus, these measurements do not correspond with the measurements of the other characters.
** In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Strong Bad's and Strong Mad's weight combined is 1,000,000 Pounds. If Strong Bad weighs 150 pounds, then Strong Mad weighs 999,850 pounds! This contradicts Strong Bad's quote saying that he is 900 pounds. (Of course, this idea was an early one and is probably no longer true)
*Strong Mad seems to be making "Doug the Dino" in the scene of him in his room, as there is a toy dinosaur and a green cylinder shaped block on his table.
*Homestar Runner has claimed that "That's bupkis!" is his new [[Catch Phrases|catch phrase]] (to replace "[[Seriously]]..."), but he hasn't said it since this email debuted.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar appears, there are no contrast buttons on the Compy.

===Inside References===
*The TV set that plays "Doug The Dino" is the [[Telebision]] from the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu]].
*[[The VCR]] (in which the display is still blinking 12:00) is the same one that appears on the "Characters" menu and the emails [[12:00]] and [[dangeresque 3]].
*Strong Bad calls Strong Mad "Graw Mad". According to the commentary for [[car]], this is what TBC's niece used to call Strong Mad (she also called [[Strong Sad]] "Gron Sad", a name which Strong Bad used in [[car]]).
*"Doug The Dino" could be a reference to Strong Mad's managing to say "[[Douglas]]" in an Easter egg for the email [[sibbie]], after Strong Bad tried to get him to say it in [[cheat talk]].

===Real-World References===
*The way Strong Bad says Jess G.OH's last name is a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]], in which one of [[Wikipedia:Homer Simpson|Homer Simpson's]] catch phrases is "[[Wikipedia:D'oh!|D'oh!]]"
*The tune Homestar sings to in the Easter egg is the same tune as the intermission theme from [[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]].
*The ''"We'll Be Right Back!"'' song and screen are in the style of cartoon shows of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, which frequently included lead-outs and lead-ins with freeze-frames (or animations) of the characters along with quirky jingles about the show returning.

===Fast Forward===
*The background drum beat which is heard during the Cubeland scene would be reused in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]].
*"Graw Mad" is again mentioned in [[garage sale]] and [[keep cool]], while "Baby Strong Sad" makes an appearance in [[highschool]].
*Homestar's popsicle from the Easter Egg is reused for the ice cream bars in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]].
*The Brothers Chaps used Claymation again in [[death metal]] to animate [[Taranchula|Taranchula's]] music video.
*"Doug the Dino" would later be mentioned in the short [[Sbemail 150?!?]].

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

'''MATT:''' OK, guys. It's Matt, Mike, and Marzipan. And, this is the one called "the facts." It's all about brother Strong Mad.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It is about brother Strong Mad. And he is actually my favorite brother.

'''MATT:''' Really? So you like him best?

'''MIKE:''' Seems you get along with Strong Sad pretty well. I didn't realize you and Strong Mad got along so well.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, don't tell Strong Sad that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well Strong—

'''MATT:''' You're his only friend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I know, but that's, you know, not how I feel on my end.

'''MATT:''' I remember uh, Andy Cooper. The Coopers had ''Thexder''. Uh, which is the game that's in his little floppy disk box there.

'''MIKE:''' It's like a space ship game?

'''MATT:''' You'd— You look like one of those things from Robotech, yeah. You'd be a jet and then a robot.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Which brother is this?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' That's Strong ''Mad''. The one you said was your favorite.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, I made a mistake.

'''MATT:''' Oh. That's not your favorite.

'''MIKE:''' Who's your favorite?

'''MATT:''' What do you think of Cubeland there? Would you like to visit that place Marzipan?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps}'' It looks like my freezer.

'''MATT:''' Does it?!

'''MIKE:''' You got some. What do you got in there? Ice cubes—

'''MATT:''' Some iridescent cubes in there?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I do.

'''MIKE:''' Jello cubes?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, no Jello cubes.

'''MATT:''' Look! See there? Strong Mad's making some Claymation there. Just like Mike and I used to as young boys.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Strong Mad's got some sweet wallpaper in his bedroom.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I want that in my bedroom.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''MATT:''' What do you think of that wallpaper up there, Marzipan?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like wallpaper. I prefer wallpaper over paint jobs.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes.

'''MATT:''' It's much harder to put up, though.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think you have wallpaper in your house. I think you have paint.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, guess what? I wish I had wallpaper. ''{long pause}''. Oooh, that's cool. That's on your desk, Mike. ''{referring to where Strong Mad's Claymation takes place}''

'''MATT:''' So this, um, so this Claymation movie is pretty much ninety percent of Claymation movies Mike and I made.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Matt's a—

'''MATT:''' It usually involved a toilet. A dinosaur.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Who made this?

'''MIKE:''' Matt did. Matt was a very good— He's an award-winning Claymation animator in nineteen eighty...eight?

'''MATT:''' Nine. Eighty nine?

'''MARZIPAN:''' What award did he win?

'''MIKE:''' He won some international film—

'''MATT:''' Media Festival.

'''MIKE:''' International Media Festival—

'''MARZIPAN:''' I won an award once.

'''MIKE:''' What— What award?

'''MATT:''' ''{excitedly interrupts}'' Look! Wait! That's wrong! That box is floating in front of that bag, Mike.

'''MARZIPAN:''' The award—

'''MIKE:''' Wow!

'''MATT:''' We need to change that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' The award—

'''MIKE:''' You think that's on the website?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was the award for importance.

'''MIKE:''' ''{somewhat mockingly}'' The award for importance?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes! It was internationally recognized.

'''MATT:''' ''{holding back laughter}'' As being ''important''?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, that and—

'''MIKE:''' What was the award itself? Was it a medal? Or a trophy?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was a virtual award.

'''MATT:''' ''{changing the subject}'' It looks like Strong Bad and Homestar are really hashing out some issues here. Sitting down and spending some quality time—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, he likes to perch on the end of desks and things. Doesn't he look cute?

'''MATT:''' He does look kinda cute like that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voluptuously}'' I think he has a good body.

''{Mike starts to laugh}''

'''MATT:''' What? ''{scolding}'' Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Don't tell—

'''MATT:''' Keep that to yourself!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm sorry.

'''MATT:''' I don't wanna hear that crap!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm gonna get him a new pair of shoes, though.

'''MATT:''' ''{reacting to The Paper coming down}'' Wow, look at that. All you gotta do is say it's the end and—
