This is the text to the egg... I don't know how to format it though. :S I apologize, I'm still learning.

Letter to Bakery Thrift Store 
 
Dear Bakery thrift Store, 
Whom do you think you are 
fooling? You sell old baked 
goods. The stuff regular 
bakeries throw away. So what 
if a loaf of bread is only 
29 cents? It's old bread. 
Should I start collecting 
roadkill squirrels, glue 
cotton balls to their butts 
and open an 'Aftermarket 
Rabbit Thrift Store?' Oh, 
wait. Yes, I should. Thank You 
Bakery Thrift Store. Love, SB.[[User:Ivysaur|Ivysaur]] 10:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== There's more easter eggs strewn about this email ==

After the Horses/IT Pros joke, the chimney pipe can be clicked to show a Dullard comic about such a thing. There's also a couple of clickable squares on the Lappy screen before the TSoND; can't figure out what they do though.

Also, click on the plugs underneath the desk after the Tandy explodes for the pixelated explosion again. {{unsigned|81.178.84.219|10:57, 2 October 2006}}

Letter to Bakery Thrift Store 
 
Dear Bakery thrift Store, 
Whom do you think you are 
fooling? You sell old baked 
goods. The stuff regular 
bakeries throw away. So what 
if a loaf of bread is only 
29 cents? It's old bread. 
Should I start collecting 
roadkill squirrels, glue 
cotton balls to their butts 
and open an 'Aftermarket 
Rabbit Thrift Store?' Oh, 
wait. Yes, I should. Thank You 
Bakery Thrift Store. Love, SB.[[User:Ivysaur|Ivysaur]] 10:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Possible Read-World Reference ==

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)

== 'nother Batman Parody ==

The first cliffhanger is a parody of one of those Batman scenes where the villain (Coach Z) tries to unmask Batman (Thnikkaman), however he gets away. This should go in Real World References as well as the [[Batman]] page.
:True, but this happens to other superheroes as well. Thus, it's TTATOT and not notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:21, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
:However, the announcer for the second cliffhanger is the same one that appeared in [[fingers]], and TBC noted in the commentary for that e-mail that it was, indeed, a parody of Batman. [[KensterFox]] 10:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Remarks ==

1: Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think this is the first time the paper has failed completely to mention the word "email."

2: I believe that this is also the first time anything on Homestarrunner has explicitly said it will have a sequel. [[User:66.251.27.251|66.251.27.251]]
:The Dangeresque "trilogy" could be taken as counting against the latter, but I think you're right about the former. (I even clicked it to make sure it wasn't an Easter egg.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Cakewalk ==

Is it possible that rather than the Atari game, the disk in the box is the old MIDI sequencing software "Cakewalk"? That would seem more appropriate for a 486, and the Cheat and Strong Bad do, after all, dabble in music. Generally it seems the precedent of the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is to be for games that were distributed for systems that actually used some kind of disk...
:Possibly, but it would go against the grain. I'm pretty sure every disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] thus far has been for a game. Sure, this one happens to be an Atari game instead of a computer game, but heaven knows it wouldn't be the first absurdity in the HsR universe. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
::Even considering all the other music references in this email?

== Pregnancy ==

This is the second time a male mentions (or anyone for that matter) becoming pregnant. The Cheat Commandos had the only other one, right?
:Yep. I believe you're right. But related, Coach Z once implied that he was a mother. Remember the email Garage Sale? Strong Bad: "Ah ah ah... moms ONLY!" Coach Z: "Oh, then I'm okay to say it!" ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
::Actually, for this one, I think this might be a reference to the episode "Cash" from The Young Ones. In that one, Vyvyan (a male, yes) 'admits' to being pregnant when asked to join the army. The two instances are very similar. (~InvaderJem)
The transcript states SS says "I think I'd like my money back now." but I heard it as "my bunny". This is funnier/more tragic as it implies Homestar "borrowed" the bunny for a rabbit test. Did anyone else hear bunny there? (~Kirin)

== A glitch? ==

Is it just me, or did the scene with Strong Sad and Homestar take forever? I mean, they just stood at the table staring at each other for about 20 seconds (then Strong Sad finally said something) and then afterwards the word "resolution" hangs on the screen for about another 30 seconds. I don't think the flash was broken because they were blinking all the while. Did this happen to anyone else? [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 16:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
:Must just be you. The "Resolution" screen lasts all of about 2 seconds, and the two didn't stare at each other for long, either. Are you on dial-up, by any chance? Flash allows the video to start before it's fully loaded, and if you got to that point and the scene hadn't been completely loaded yet, then it's going to pause until it does. They were still blinking because the blinking animation is a "tween"--sort of like a seperate animation "thread" that repeats over and over. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 16:11, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is something that occasionally happens when you're on dial-up or any other laggy/slow connection; the toon will freeze for a few seconds while waiting for the rest of it to load. Used to happen to me all the time, when I was still stuck on dial-up. Kind of interesting that it froze ''right'' at that moment, though - for a second I probably would've thought it was intentional, you know, to heighten the suspense. :) {{User:Saturn/sig}} 16:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
:::As it happens, I'm not on dial-up, but it probably was my connection. (it seemed a bit laggy) Isn't that kind of thing called buffering, or does that not apply to flash? [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 16:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
::::ha, yeah, that always happened to me when i had dialup. it positively sucked. 18:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, I think the whole point of the "loading..." screen is to buffer the entire thing, not just the first few seconds. If it were proper video it would take forever to do that, but as Flash symbols it's small enough that it can all be done at the start. [[User:81.158.52.207|81.158.52.207]] 22:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
::Actually, the loading screen doesn't preload the ''entire'' movie... in this case it only loads as far as when Coach Z starts saying his line "the world will discover your secret, sorcret identity!". After that, it's possible that a slow connection will make the buffer underrun. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

== KOT pose ==

Isn't the pose the KOT is in when he's suspended from the cliff the same one he was in when he was stuck in the tyre swing in Weclome Back? (this may or may not merit a place on the article, but I was just bringing it up). [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 16:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Goof ==
[[Image:Cliffhangergoof.png|thumb|Oops.]]
I think I found a goof but I want to make sure everyone else is seeing it too before I add it...

During most of the spaceship scene, the green ground is slightly cut off on the left side of the screen, so that a strip of white is visible along the black edge of the frame. Here's a picture in case I'm not making any sense (which... I'm not); you can see it the most at the scene where The Cheat is messing with the CD player. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 19:21, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Definitely a goof. Add it in. --[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 19:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Ropes ==

I can't see anything that the ropes holding the King of Town and Homsar could've been attached to. Also, as a note, Strong Bad is very skilled at swinging that big knife. --[[User:Proxtown|Proxtown]] 22:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, I'm going through it frame by frame right now, and it looks really odd. At first glance, it would seem that they're just knotted on the edge of the cliff. But Strong Bad's knife goes under the cliff, so it would have to be further back. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 23:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== The Creepy Cliff? ==

Doesn't the cliff Homsar and The KOT look like the Creepy Cliff from Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig? And Strong Bad looks totally awesoem with that machete with him.

:That machete is actually the [[Big Knives|big knife]]. Also, the cliff ''could'' be te same cliff, but it could also not be --[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 23:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, it's impossible to tell from the angle whether they are the same or different/ That could be noted on the [[Cliffs]] page, I suppose. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

== Other elements to focus on ==

This gives us more insight into Coach Z's life. He coaches because his "secrort" is that he has poor hand-eye coordination, limiting his actual playing abilities. "Those who can't, teach," as the cruel saying goes.
But this is hrwiki where nearly every pixel is examined, so let's amp this up. Why the comma? Why the less-than sign? What is the significance to this? Why not the tilde button? Much more a "little toe."
And any significance to the missing T in "Nex time?"
:Correct, this is the hrwiki. We document facts about Homestar Runner toons. Speculations like these are discussed on the forum. As for Coach Z's secret, you could be '''bold''' and add this on his page.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
:If you want to ask a question, you do it on the forum. If you have a theory, then be '''bold''' and post it here and then people will argue about it until its 2 pages long. [[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 07:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I think a comma because it looks kinda like a toe and it's at the bottom of the keyboard, an anagalous(sp?) place where a toe would be. [[Foolster41]]

:"Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym". Works wonderful on the coach :). {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

== Thrynn? ==

I'm trying to find a screenshot to verify this, but the drawing of the reptile-looking alien inside of Space Captainface's ship looks ''remarkabky'' like a Thrynn from the old PC/Sega Genesis game "Starflight." Does anyone else have a way to help verify this? -[[User:204.155.72.139|204.155.72.139]] 18:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

== Beatles song "Revolution" ==

Apparently this was disputed for some reason, but I think it's pretty obvious that SB's line, "so you say you want a resolution, huh?" is a reference to a famous line from the song "Revolution" by the Beatles. The line begins, "so you say you want a revolution?" I can't see much to dispute there. - [[User:Pete Sampwas|Pete Sampwas]] 01:34, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
: I completely agree. Being a Beatles fan, I back Pete's statement. It probably is what they were trying to convey.
::Oh, don't let being a Beatles fan cloud your judgement ;-) The fact was deleted because "Revolution" is not the only song featuring such a line (and the fact that the other songs probably reference "Revolution" does not change this) [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=cliffhangers&diff=368602&oldid=368601] (and just so you know, I have all their albums on CD).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
:::However, a reference to a thing that in itself is a reference is invalid normally. So, the Marilyn Manson reference would be revertible simply on the basis of it being itself a reference to the Beatles. Thus we are left with the same question - is it likelier than not the line is a reference to "Revolution"? I think perhaps it is. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
::::Not true. What if TBC thought of the Manson song and not the Beatles song? What if they didn't even know about the Beatles song? The toon does not give any hint towards this. Which leads us to the next question: is this a reference at all? Is "So you say you want a resolution, eh?" not what you would expect SB to say anyway? He's not even singing it. The "reference" is weak, and we can't say for sure what exactly it references.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Eh. I think this is maybe being a little overthought. Since the beatles song is the more well known (Who knows about Manson who hasn't heard of The Beatles?), isn't the more liekly that it is the one being refrenced? [[Foolster41]]
:While Manson was only mentioned in one remark (which is probably quoted from somone at the con) in the commentary for TrogdorCon, The Beatles are referenced [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?ns0=1&search=Beatles&searchx=Search 14 times], including a [[TMBG_Concert_-_25_Sep_2004#With_a_Little_Help_From_My_Friends|parody]] by Homestar.

:::After sleeping on this, I believe that it is a reference. SB could have said "So, you want a resolution?", but TBC chose to use the longer version instead; probably as a reference to "Revolution".{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
I'd just like to add to the discussion that the song "Revolution" was used in a well known Nike TV commercial in 1987, and that ad prominently used the chorus. It was also the subject of much controversy (about whether John Lennon would have wanted his song used to sell sneakers), at least partially due to the fact that it was one of the first times that an original recording of a pop song was used in such a way. (This is discussed in [[Wikipedia:Revolution (song)|the wikipedia entry on the song]].) Given the date of many of the other BrosChaps references, this may be the source of the quote (not that they don't know it's a Beatles song, but that's what makes it stick out in their minds) -- [[User:Wfaulk|Wfaulk]] 13:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't even aware that Marilyn Manson used the same line in one of his songs, and at least now I know what the dispute is about. Since the Beatles song was written about thirty-odd years before MM even started performing, and was already a highly influential song at that, you have to wonder where MM got the inspiration to include that line from..? - [[User:Pete Sampwas|Pete Sampwas]] 14:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

== Easter Egg Sequence ==

Doesn't anybody else think that the two end easter eggs should be listed in the opposite order (Homestar/SB then Z/Bubs)? Not only was the trigger for Homestar/SB physically above the other, Z/Bubs clearly refers back to it more easily than vice versa: the more awkward "accusing yourself of being the Thnikkaman" seems more a parody of "admitting that you stole my computer", and Homestar's "...sports team" is actually somewhat appropriate given its context (water cooler talk : sports) whereas it was a complete non sequitur when Coach Z said it. [[User:69.168.161.140|69.168.161.140]] 01:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
:Coach Z would be likely to actually talk about a sports team, as he's a coach. However, I support putting them in the order we see the links on the page. It's senseless to decide on an order from contextual clues, as we do not know the order the viewer will discover the links. Nor should we present a presumed sequence when none is implicit. The only sensible sequences to follow in listing eggs are earlier/later, top/bottom, left/right. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

:::While that's meaningful to you or I, it's less so to the average viewer who might consult the knowledgebase.

(B) The Coach Z one refers to an earlier part of the toon (Cliffhanger #1) than the Homestar one (Cliffhanger #4). (III) It makes more sense (to me) for Coach Z to talk about sports, since he's a ''coach'' after all, then Homestar's line referring to that, than vice-versa. {{User:Phlip/sig}}

::I'm for listing Coach Bubs before Homestar Bad. The fact the Coach Z grumbled before saying "sports team", for me at least, shows signs that he thought about the phrase before saying that.

:::I'm for Homestar, then Coach Z. Humour comes before programming in my [metaphorical] book, and the Homestar-then-Coach-Z combination is definitely the funniest sequence. Also, the ransom notice is more obviously an easter egg link than the socket (although the socket has been used before), and the sequence makes more sense due to the expectation that the characters will be discussing "whodunit", so to speak, and the Coach and the Bubs are discussing something different. So, in summary: unexpected + reference / correct order = solid easter egg. --[[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 13:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

:I think there is a consensus emerging here. In truth, I actually edited the page to reverse the easter eggs before checking the discussion page to see that there was already talk on this issue. (Jay reversed me) I have never felt strongly enough to edit anything here before. As the story of this e-mail unfolds, Homestar first, then Coach Z makes WAY MORE SENSE. Not only do the links flow top to bottom, but the ransom note is the more obvious thing to click on and likely to be found first. Besides that, since Homestar makes mention of why he is about to migrate to the sports team topic, it makes Coach Z's migration not only funnier, but even more absurd of a non sequitur. Regardless of programming order, the easter eggs tell a story, and Homestar followed by Coach Z is the only logical way to tell that story. I strongly encourage the switching of the order. One final thought: If the order had been Homestar followed by Coach Z from the very beginning, does anyone honestly think that there would be a discussion thread suggesting that they needed to be reversed? That's proof enough for me that we should just switch them and put this behind us. --[[User:72.229.110.222|72.229.110.222]] 21:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

:Same thing here. I've only once before ever thought to edit a page here, and the ordering of this was number two. The most compelling arguments above are these:

:Since Homestar makes mention of why he is about to migrate to the sports team topic, it makes Coach Z's migration....funnier [coming second].

::I'm going to have to go with Homestar first, on the basis that the "it" in "you know who I think done it?" is better understood grammatically and has better comedic timing in an uninterrupted sequence, ''id est'', when viewed immediately after the Lappy-napping.

::Of course, the argument about the order of "sports teams" is valid, but I say it doesn't have to be in the Coach Z → Homestar order to be more funny/make more sense. Also, the order of Easter eggs in the Flash file is another clue, but again I say it doesn't have to be the case. If we did Easter eggs in order of Flash file for [[flashback]], we would have to click "left firework / have / 100 / answered / right firework / you" in order, with a totally ambiguous "Congratulations".

:Ooh, ooh, I thought of another one. [...] In actuality, Coach Z is the LEAST likely person to be talking about Sports Team. As the Z-man has shown in past misadventures, he (as a sports coach) is not very knowledgeable in the field of his profession. For example, in [[secret recipes]], he failed to identify an item as simple as a basketball, instead referring to it as a (and I quote) "Bounce Thing". It is for this reason that the third reason presented in the fifth comment in this section of this talk page (delivered by [[User:Phlip|Phlip]]) is faulty, and another point should be added to the consensus to place Homestar's quotation before Coach Z's quotation in the article.

I've never used the edit section of a wiki before, so bear with me here. I just wanted to point out that Strong bad isn't saying "And there you go, Jakenstein."

This is a reference to the movie "Blues Brothers" when Jake Blues (Jake being the name of the author of the email Strong Bad is responding to) introduces himself to the Good 'Ole Boys as "Jacob Stein of the American Federation of Musicians."

== Possible Simpsons quote? ==

I thought I'd ask here first before I tried adding it to the article but who thinks that Strong Bad's "lady irony" line references a quote from The Simpsons? Think about it:

'''HOMER SIMPSON:''' ''{after finding out he can't go to the monster truck rally since Lisa is performing at a school concert on the same night}'' Oh, cruel fate! Why do you mock me? ''{from Bart the Daredevil (7F06)}''

Is this the second time that the distinction between Bubs and Coach Z has been blurred by Strong Bad? (1st time being the Coach B/Zubs project from ''current status'') Have there been other times this has happened? Has the line ever been fuzzy for other characters too? Is this just a reference to the Coach B/Zubs Project or an emerging inside joke?
: I don't think the two are related at all - Coach Z and Bubs are simply best friends and hang out together a lot, and perhaps that's where SB's little joke came from. I think it's only coincidentally similar to Coach B/Zubs. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification of my original post-- I did only mean blurring.

Perhaps it is coincidence; however, your first example is just Homestar being confused-- something that happens all the time. Your second is a fact: Homsar IS a midget version of Homestar turned blue. Coach Z is not a green version of Bubs (nor is Bubs an orange version of Coach Z), and clearly Strong Bad is not confused as was Homestar in ''the facts''. This gag was very deliberate; The Brothers clearly had Strong Bad say "Bubs? Green Bubs?" Then they reinforced the reference within the easter egg (I wonder how Bubs & Coach Z knew about it?)

: First time the possibility occurred to me was right now when I read this. I'm willing to chalk it up to coincidence. (By the by, "Jumbo shrimp" isn't a ''true'' oxymoron, as "shrimp" is used in reference to the aquatic crustacean that people eat, not a short person, but it's frequently called an "oxymoron" humorously.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I thought that this was a very obvious reference, and was shocked not to find it in the "explanations" section. At least where I live, "Jumbo shrimp" is a stock example of an oxymoron, one of the four or five most well-known. It seems inconceivable to me that it was unintentional.

I thought that Strong Bad used the word "maxymonic" as an explaination of jumbo/LARGE because it jumbo shrimp, if not correct, is one of the most commonly known oxymorons out there.

:The discussion is simply this -- several of us believe "Jumbo Large" is specifically a play on the supposed oxymoron "Jumbo Shrimp".

The fact that it's a "running joke" may also give credence to this idea.
::Okay. Well, my thoughts are this. I take it that the running joke here is [[Prawns]]. That's taking it a step too far (jumbo/LARGE → jumbo shrimp → shrimp/prawn), especially with the considerable uncertainty that connects the steps. With the suggested running gag set aside for a moment, I would like to say that even though jumbo shrimp is not a true oxymoron, it is perceived by many as a common and humorous example. The way Strong Bad uses the term maxymoron suggests that it is the opposite of oxymoron. It is possible that the "oxymoron" jumbo shrimp was embedded in TBC's thought process as it gave rise to the "maxymoron" jumbo large, but it can't be the only possible explanation. I have only one problem with the current wording of the fun fact "Maxymoron is a play on the word oxymoron, although jumbo/LARGE is not actually an oxymoron." Referring to the second part of that fact, well, of course jumbo/LARGE isn't actually an oxymoron. It's not supposed to be; it's supposed to be a maxymoron (or, the opposite of an oxymoron).

Is this the second time that the distinction between Bubs and Coach Z has been blurred by Strong Bad? (1st time being the Coach B/Zubs project from ''current status'') Have there been other times this has happened? Has the line ever been fuzzy for other characters too? Is this just a reference to the Coach B/Zubs Project or an emerging inside joke?
: I don't think the two are related at all - Coach Z and Bubs are simply best friends and hang out together a lot, and perhaps that's where SB's little joke came from. I think it's only coincidentally similar to Coach B/Zubs. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

:::Well you'll note that neither the first nor second post claimed that SB was "confusing" them.

Thank you for the clarification of my original post-- I did only mean blurring. Further, I mearly ask the question of all of you: could this be an emerging inside joke or perhaps the second instance of a new running gag?

Perhaps it is coincidence; however, your first example is just Homestar being confused-- something that happens all the time. Your second is a fact: Homsar IS a midget version of Homestar turned blue. Coach Z is not a green version of Bubs (nor is Bubs an orange version of Coach Z), and clearly Strong Bad is not confused as was Homestar in ''the facts''. This gag was very deliberate; The Brothers clearly had Strong Bad say "Bubs? Green Bubs?" Then they reinforced the reference within the easter egg (I wonder how Bubs & Coach Z knew about it?)

: First time the possibility occurred to me was right now when I read this. I'm willing to chalk it up to coincidence. (By the by, "Jumbo shrimp" isn't a ''true'' oxymoron, as "shrimp" is used in reference to the aquatic crustacean that people eat, not a short person, but it's frequently called an "oxymoron" humorously.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that TBC and thus, Strong Bad are smart enough to know that j-Large is not an oxymoron. I've added something to the fact to accommodate both viewpoints, without drawing a connection to jumbo shrimp. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 13:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Is the scene where Strong Bad says:
"All right, you ready to go, The Cheat? Why is Strong Mad hiding under that not-originally-yellow-spotted sheet from Strong Sad's bedroom? Not my bedroom." A reference to [[Wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]?

'''Places:''' [[Peasantry]]

'''Date:''' February 6, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 2:55

'''Page Title:''' A Lem Sportsinterviews Joint

==Transcript==
'''NARRATOR:''' It began ''{the words "It Began..." appear on the screen in Gothic text}'' as the best selling video computer TV game of all time. Uh—Not really ''{the words "Not Really," appear on the screen}'', but still! ''{The words "But Still." appear.}''

''{Cut to a shot of the Peasant's Quest video game.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' A simple peasant wearing short pants quested his way into the heart of the nation. Now, for his greatest adventure yet, he will quest...INTO THEATERS!!

''{The video game Rather Dashing fades into a live action version of himself, looking around in confusion.}''

'''RATHER DASHING:''' Where's my cottage?

''{Fade through black to Rather Dashing standing in the ruins of his burninated cottage.}''

'''RATHER DASHING:''' TROGDOR!!!

''{A few random scenes pass on by, before the Videlectrix logo shows up. It is soon modified to "Videlectrix Films". Cut to a throne room. Rather Dashing is in front of the King of Peasantry.}''

'''KING OF PEASANTRY:''' We have coexisted with the Burninator in these lands for centuries. ''{Quick clips of a map of Peasantry and peasants being terrorized by a CGI Trogdor pass by.}'' I can't have you marching up there in your short pants upsetting the balance!

'''RATHER DASHING:''' I'll upset ''your'' balance, my lord!

'''KING OF PEASANTRY:''' Rather Dashing, you will not sass back at this council!

'''NARRATOR:''' From the sort of people who brought you Trogdor and Litigation Jackson...

''{Rather Dashing walks up to Poor Gary.}''

'''RATHER DASHING:''' Easy now Gary, I'm just going to WEAR MASK.

''{He does so, and Gary whinnies and runs away. Cut to inside a cottage.}''

'''THE BABY LADY:''' Show me you're a real man, Rather Dashing.

''{Cut to a lake.}''

'''RATHER DASHING:''' THROW...BABY...ahhh!

''{He throws the baby. Cut to a forest.}''

'''DONGOLEV:''' I'm Dongolev!

''{We see a shot of Naked Ned peering out from behind a tree.}''

'''BLUE KNIGHT:''' Rather Dashing? More like Rather Homely!

''{We see Rather Dashing eating a meatball sub. Cut back to the Archery. Mendelev is helping him train.}''

'''NARRATOR''': A Trog-venture for the whole Trog-Family!

''{Cut to the outside of the Inn. Rather Dashing runs out screaming, with the pot of grease over his head. He hits the side of the Inn, and collapses. Cut to the Jhonka, beating the ground with his club/turkey leg. Cut to the archery.}''

'''RATHER DASHING:''' I'm just ''so'' mad at Trogdor...

''{Cut to Trogdor Cave entrance.}''

'''BLUE KNIGHT:''' Access to Trogdor is strictly for peasants!

''{Rather Dashing adopts an exxagerated crestfallen look and hangs his head. Cut back to Archery.}''

'''RATHER DASHING:''' He just goes around burning things and doesn't even care!

''{Cut to Trogdor Cave entrance.}''

'''BLUE KNIGHT:''' You don't smell like a peasant...

''{Cut to the Kerrek, walking purposefully toward camera. Rather Dashing is nearby to him, looking up in terror. Kerrek's fist comes down on Rather Dashing's head, and the scene abruptly cuts to Rather Dashing holding Kerrek's belt aloft, screaming at the rain. Cut to Trogdor Cave entrance.}''

'''BLUE KNIGHT:''' You don't dress like a peasant...

''{Cut to Rather Dashing battling the Jhonka. Rather Dashing puts up the hood on his robes.}''

''{Cut to Trogdor Cave Entrance}''

'''BLUE KNIGHT:''' And you certainly aren't ''on fire'' like a peasant! ''{his visor slams shut as he says "peasant"}''

''{Cut to the rocky side of Trogdor's Cave. A flaming Rather Dashing is climbing it. As Rather Dashing clings to the cliff, a pterodactyl flies by, squawking.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' A quest for adventure! A quest for revenge!

''{Trogdor screams and breathes his horrible fire. The Three Keepers, who suddenly appear, wave their hands. Cut to the very top of the cave. It's night, and a giant full moon appears in the background. Rather Dashing climbs up and holds a shining sword up.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' A quest...for a peasant! Peasant's Quest!

''{The Peasant's Quest logo appears. Rather Dashing struggles to keep the sword up, and then lets it fall. Cut to film creation credits.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*This was labeled as "Super Bowl halftime!!" on the main page, because The Brothers Chaps put this trailer up at halftime of the [[Wikipedia:Super Bowl XXXIX|2005 Super Bowl]].
*When Rather Dashing puts on the mask and when he throws the baby, he speaks the actual commands from the game, e.g. "throw baby".

===Trivia===
[[Image:pq_trailer_end_credits.png|thumb|right|Ending Credits]]
*These are the largest Flash files on the entire site. The 2.6 MB "Jhonka" trailer is smaller than [[Stinkoman 20X6|stinkogame.swf]], but the other versions are larger.
*When this trailer was first put up at halftime, the size and popularity of the file apparently overloaded TBC's server. Because of this, the original 13.4 MB file was removed mid-Monday morning and was temporarily replaced with a close-up of Rather Dashing and a note saying that he would be back. By late morning, that was replaced with a screen enabling you to choose which file size you wanted to download: "Jhonka" (2.6 MB), "Kerrek" (5.4 MB), or "Trogdor" (10.3 MB).
*The [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]] used to read "loading a fairly big deal", but it now says "rather loading", referring to Rather Dashing.
*Many of the people listed in the credits are mentioned elsewhere on the site: [[Ryan Sterritt]] helped create the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]]. [[Jackie Chapman]] is [[Matt Chapman]]'s wife, [[Craig Zobel]] helps write some of the cartoons and [[Jonathan Howe]] helps with many of the games.
[[Image:Matt's ring from peasant's quest.PNG|thumb|Matt Chapman's wedding ring.]]
*Our hero just might be more dashing than previously thought. At the end when he declares "not tonight he doesn't!", a viewer can barely but surely see a wedding ring on in the first couple of frames as he swings the sword.
*When Rather Dashing is climbing up the mountain, and you see him from the front, the background is that of the [[Wikipedia:Stone Mountain|Stone Mountain]] trail to the top. It is a large granite mountain near [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], near where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.
*We see that Craig Zobel is credited as the "[[Wikipedia:Cartography|cartographer]]", meaning he drew the map of Peasantry.
*This is the first appearance of Jackie Chapman in a Homestar Runner feature.
*The [[Scalding Lake]] shirt that Rather Dashing (played by Matt Chapman) is wearing is presumably the same one worn by Matt in the [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|Screen Savers Interview]] several weeks prior to the trailer's release.

===Remarks===
*According to the [[FAQ]] on the official site, this is the "full-length" Peasant's Quest movie.
*In the movie trailer, The Blue Knight states that Rather Dashing doesn't ''smell'' like a peasant. In the game, however, he says that Rather doesn't ''stink'' like a peasant.
*In the game, Rather Dashing neither fights the Jhonka nor eats the meatball sub.
*The word [[Wikipedia:Pterodactylus|"pterodactyl"]] is incorrectly spelled "pterydactyl" in the end credits.
*The credits are clickable in the "Trogdor" version; however, doing so doesn't seem to activate any Easter eggs.

===Inside References===
*The movie is directed by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]], well known for his book ''[[HR:amazon.html|This Book is Better Than 1st, 2nd and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base]]'', among other things.
*''[[Litigation Jackson]]'' was the fictional movie mentioned in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. Its sequel was mentioned in [[rampage]].

*Many of the clips in this preview are taken directly from the Peasant's Quest game, including:
**Scaring Poor Gary, the horse
**Throwing The Baby in the water
**Talking to the Baby Lady
**The Kerrek pounding Rather Dashing into the ground.
**Taking Kerrek's belt in the rain
**Mendelev and Dongolev teaching you how to shoot an arrow
**Naked Ned appearing from behind the tree
**Rather Dashing's "Scalding Lake" vacation shirt
**Rather Dashing with the pot stuck over his head
**The guard's explanation of why Rather Dashing cannot see Trogdor
**Climbing the mountain to Trogdor's lair
**Getting pebbles
*When The Three Keepers of Trogdor are waving in the cave (after CG-Trogdor), the pterodactyl flying in the background makes the same noise as [[Mrs. Commanderson]].
*The Peasantry Map includes places such as:
**The Frumpish Mountains
**The Slightly Dangerous Fields
**That Weird Tree (you know)
**Trogdor's Keep
**Clackum Falls
*The music and ending lines ("And the Trogdor comes in the night!") are taken from Strong Bad's Trogdor song in the email [[dragon]].
*"Thorax Legitimate" refers to the [[Thorax Corporation]].
*"Video computer TV game" is a possible reference to the Easter egg in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], where the first [[Videlectrix]] programmer says, "I'm supposed to release a video computer game on TV without this graphic?"

===Real-World References===
*The heading "A Lem Sportsinterviews Joint" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Spike Lee|Spike Lee]]'s movies which are called "A Spike Lee Joint."
*The depiction of the battle between Rather Dashing and the Kerrek is very similar, in style, to the battle between Dennis Cooper and the Jabberwock in Terry Gilliam’s 1977 film ''[[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky (film)|Jabberwocky]]''.
*The battle between Rather Dashing and Jhonka is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Smeagol]] and [[Wikipedia:Déagol|Déagol's]] battle at the beginning of ''[[Wikipedia:The Return of the King (book)|The Return of the King]]''; likewise the flute music that plays at the beginning of the trailer sounds like the music from the [[Wikipedia:Hobbiton|Hobbiton]] scenes in ''[[Wikipedia:The Fellowship of the Ring(book)|The Fellowship of the Ring]]''.
*Although this trailer is full of obscure nods to various fantasy cliches, the scenes with the shadow rolling back across the land and the map of Peasantry suggest the [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|''Lord of the Rings'']] trailers. Similar sound effects are used.
*Before the Videlectrix Films logo and around the ending of the film, there is the scene melee. One of the shots is of a man fighting in silhouette form behind a blue sky with a sword in his hand and around the end he is struggling with a sword. The same scene is in [[Wikipedia:Kill Bill|Kill Bill Volume 1]].
*When Rather Dashing puts the hood of his peasant garb on, it is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:The Village (movie)|''The Village.'']]
*The screaming of Jhonka in the first sighting is similar to the screaming of zombies in ''[[Wikipedia:Half-Life 2|Half-Life 2]]''.
*The ending snort after Trogdor blows fire at the screen is from [[Wikipedia:Doom|"Doom"]].
*The way in which Rather Dashing holds his sword when he says "Not tonight he doesn't... come... in the night... Trogdor!" is similar to the way a [[Wikipedia:Jedi|Jedi knight]] holds a [[Wikipedia:Lightsaber|lightsaber]] in the [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] films and trailers.
*The Blue Knight's face guard slamming down over his face after he says his last line is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]], in which Sir Bedevere's face guard slams down after he says many of his lines.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So Matt, what's this, that we're watching?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Mike, you know what it is.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's the Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Based on the Peasant's Quest video game.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That's based on the Trogdor video game.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That's based on the Trogdor email.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That's right. ''{sighs exaggeratedly} ''Now that that's out of the way...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That's a tongue twister, eh?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Look at my brother's ugly face.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' It was pretty ugly that day.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' So, this was pretty fun to make though, wasn't it Matt?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' It was very fun. I wanna make more of these.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' We made this in... January, I think?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Right.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Mostly. And it was cold. So, uh, but it was a nice thing, to go out and do something different than sit in the office and animate stupid animal characters all day.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' It was nice to go out in short pants and have you spray me with a hose in January.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' That was particularly difficult.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{referring to the king}'' That's our buddy Z. Gillispie. We employed a lot of our friends, improv friends here in Atlanta to be in this.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' A who's who, if you will.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Of Dad's Garage.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That's uh, a lake behind our parents' house. And that's Poor Gary.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That horse's real name was Moonshadow, I believe.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That hor— That's not a horse. That's Matt's wife Jackie.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Hey! ''{both laugh}'' You shall not recover from that one... ''{referring to Mendelev and Dongolev}'' That's Matt Gribbon and Matt Gribbon.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That horse's name is Matt Gribbon.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{referring to Naked Ned}'' That horse is named Neil Steinberg. Neil would come over all the time and help us win games like Peasant's Quest when we were little.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' King's Quest and Police Quest.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Space Quest.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' He was the best at video games.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I ate that whole meatball sub way too quickly and felt really bad afterwards.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Impressive. I kinda wanted half of it and you ate both halves.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' I got carried away. ''{pauses}'' Oh. Awww.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Look at our um, costume rental. We blew our whole— Uh, what do they call those things?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Strident.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Strident. Budget! Yeah, on the costume shop.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. That Kerrek mask was— uh, was pricey.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' The Kerrek mask— Oh, that— The peasant robe, our mom made that.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, Mom made the peasant robe, which was very nice of her. I made that stop motion pterodactyl.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I made that computer Photoshopped Trogdor.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I made moons. I made moons dazzle, Mike, with my performance.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' That was on top of a big hill on a construction site behind my house.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' And that was supposed to be just a— He fell and it's like "Let's do this again," but liked that one the best.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Wobbled...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''Oh.'' That's spooky. That sword was pretty awesome. We got real swords.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It was a good sword.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' They obviously weren't sharpened, but they were metal. ''{snores}''

== 'nother Batman Parody ==

The first cliffhanger is a parody of one of those Batman scenes where the villain (Coach Z) tries to unmask Batman (Thnikkaman), however he gets away. This should go in Real World References as well as the [[Batman]] page.
:True, but this happens to other superheroes as well. Thus, it's TTATOT and not notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:21, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I heard whammy speed, which would fit in with all the other guitar related jokes in that segment. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 02:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Remarks ==

1: Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think this is the first time the paper has failed completely to mention the word "email."

2: I believe that this is also the first time anything on Homestarrunner has explicitly said it will have a sequel. [[User:66.251.27.251|66.251.27.251]]
:The Dangeresque "trilogy" could be taken as counting against the latter, but I think you're right about the former. (I even clicked it to make sure it wasn't an Easter egg.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Cakewalk ==

Is it possible that rather than the Atari game, the disk in the box is the old MIDI sequencing software "Cakewalk"? That would seem more appropriate for a 486, and the Cheat and Strong Bad do, after all, dabble in music. Generally it seems the precedent of the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is to be for games that were distributed for systems that actually used some kind of disk...
:Possibly, but it would go against the grain. I'm pretty sure every disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] thus far has been for a game. Sure, this one happens to be an Atari game instead of a computer game, but heaven knows it wouldn't be the first absurdity in the HsR universe. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Leon Powalski ==

I don't think this is solid enough to put on the page, but the lizard-creature in Strong Bad's mock spaceship reminds me a lot of [[Wikipedia:Leon Powalski|Leon Powalski]] from the [[Wikipedia:Star Fox|Star Fox]] series. Just throwing it out is all. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
:He reminded me of [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Balok Balok] from the original Trek episode ''The Corbomite Maneuver'' (and yes, I had to look all that up; all I remembered was "grape-headed alien dude"). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Pregnancy ==

This is the second time a male mentions (or anyone for that matter) becoming pregnant. The Cheat Commandos had the only other one, right?
:Yep. I believe you're right. But related, Coach Z once implied that he was a mother. Remember the email Garage Sale? Strong Bad: "Ah ah ah... moms ONLY!" Coach Z: "Oh, then I'm okay to say it!" ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== Thnikkaman ==

'''How come in the debut episode of The Thnikkaman ( Monument ) , He takes his Cool Shades off ( Twice ), But in the Cliffhangers episode, Coach Z is trying to reveal The Thnikkaman by taking off the Cool Shades? Wouldn't this mean that The Thnikkaman has already been revealed? .... By himself (?)'''
