My Mouth Tastes Like...

Branewashed: Clearer wording

[[Image:TastesLikeBackwards.png|thumb|"My mouth tastes like... backwards."]]
[[Strong Bad]] occasionally claims that his mouth tastes like something that people normally wouldn't be eating, or even something totally abstract.

Grumblecakes

Branewashed: It just sounds better.

{{about|[[:Category:Food and drinks|food]]}} {{for|music video|Grumblecakes (video)}}

'''Grumblecakes''' are "like a little cake with some, like, steam and sugar". Only liars and thieves eat them, and, according to [[The Cheat]], those people go to prison. They nevertheless seem pretty popular, at least with [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[Strong Bad]].

They first appeared in the email [[stupid stuff]], when Strong Bad made a bet that if he could get Homestar to say something smart, Kevin Grumbles would have to make him some of his famous grumblecakes. Unfortunately for him, the nefarious Kevin Grumbles had also signed a deal with Homestar, thereby tricking Strong Bad out of the cakes and making him look stupid as well.

Conversely, [[The Cheatcakes]] are a popular brand of confectionery made by The Cheat, yet for some reason Strong Bad does not seem to like them as much.

Strong Bad later recorded a [[Number One Jams|#1 future jam]] solo about Grumblecakes in the email [[time capsule]]. It is left in [[The Time Capsule]].

Say, shouldn't there be some kind of language warning on the page? There's at least one instance of profanity that I could remember in the script. {{User:JCM/sig}} 02:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, but unfortunately it's only for interviews.
:...To that end, I say it should be renamed to just "censored articles"! 'Cause I went and done it anyway! --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 21:32, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
::C'mon, guys, gimme a break. It's one little word that you can hear on radio commercials these days. We don't need a notice, and we don't need a separate censored version. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:31, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I disagree. Regardless of the activity level this wiki is still visited by people of all ages who may react differently to the swear word. This, being a draft to a toon where the word in question is found in the stage directions, would never see the word make it to the toon itself. There is also our [[HRWiki:Swears|policy]] which we shouldn't ignore. While making a whole 'uncensored' version may be a bit much, something should be done to preserve the text and abide by the policy at the same time, even if it's a small language notice. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Now, are we talking about the word "kick-assing" here? I think that we definitely do not need a censored version of this article, but we could put a {{inlinecontentwarning|mild content warning}} at the beginning of the transcript. {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 18:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::First of all, why did you (It's dot com) remove the swear mark if you kept the censored page up? That in itself is very misleading. Second, does an inline warning make sense before the first sentence if it isn't until several sentences later?
:::::...Third: I predict this section will be three times longer by the end of two days. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 18:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::Stux: Our policy states that we should ''consider'' adding a notice to the reader ''depending on the severity'' of the words in question. The phrase "kick-assing" is not severe at all. In fact, it's so mild that pointing it out actually draws more attention to it than simply leaving it alone would. Purple Wrench: I didn't leave the censored page up per se. I just didn't delete it until this discussion was resolved. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:03, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Yes, but still, as it may surprise some readers not used to seeing such language in transcripts, wouldn't some kind of casual heads-up in the introductory paragraph be helpful? I'm not asking anyone to make a big deal of it or anything, but it is a wiki exclusive with no animated alternative, and I think some kind of notice would be fair. {{User:JCM/sig}} 22:46, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::::If someone is going to be surprised, they'll be surprised either way. Putting up a warning would be making it into a bigger deal than it is. We should reserve warnings for when it really counts so as not to water them down. We (rightly) don't have warnings about "smartass" on [[Hairstyle Runner]], "helluva" on [[Old Characters Page]], or "For the Whole Damn Family" on the [[Third Games Menu]], and we don't need one here, either. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:16, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Branewashed: /* Statistics of Strong Bad Smiling */ Toons not Times

{{cleanup|Statistics Table}}
[[Image:Strongbadsblounskched.png|thumb|"You got SBLOUNSKCHED!"]]
Especially in the early years of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]]'s mouth has been most often seen to be in a slight frown, usually in a rectangular or round (when he talks) shape. His mouth was curved in such a way as to suggest he is often upset. However, there have also been plenty of times when he has '''smiled''', an effect created by slightly distorting the upper part of Strong Bad's rectangular mouth, turning his expression into an unmistakable smile. While some of these smiles were in reaction to or anticipation of his usual misdeeds, he has also found other reasons to smile. As Strong Bad became a more prominent character over the years, the rate at which he would smile noticeably increased. Although crude drawings of Strong Bad may have their own variations of this phenomenon, the real Strong Bad has, and, most likely, always will have the same, bizarre, distorted rectangle of a smile.

Smiling became a more-or-less common and normal part of Strong Bad's character around 2006. Only select instances of smiling since then are listed.

Branewashed — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 03:22:28 GMT

Branewashed:

My wife is rather convinced this is a spoof of a similar cartoon produced in the 1980's; neither of us can recall the name of the cartoon. Any ideas? --[[User:24.98.124.75|24.98.124.75]] 02:31, 6 Apr 2005 (MST)

:This is a spoof of a BUNCH of similar cartoons produced in the 1980s. We can't include such "This that and the other thing" references because everyone would try to add their own personal favorite, making an extremely long fact that adds little to nothing to the article. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 02:37, 6 Apr 2005 (MST)

::I agree. TBC tend to apply satire with a very wide brush. I too rememeber a show from that era with a real life band that was wisked away to cartoon space, for some reason. The keyboardist had long curly hair and I think the lead singer was a girl. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 02:31, 6 Apr 2005 (MST)

:::The one that comes most readily to my mind, though, is Gilligan's Planet. That was probably the least sensical "in space" adaptation possible. - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 09:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

::::Thank you for contributing to this, er, three-year-old conversation. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

:::Okay, maybe it's three years old, but the question was still there for anybody else who might have been wondering. It's not like a forum thread or something. ;) - [[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]]) 17:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

::::As far as bands in space, I remember the Patridge Family in Outer Space (cartoon) and Journey (at least in the video game version). So, yeah, multiple bands. I think though that the identified "bands in space" could be added to a real world references section of this piece.

:Ha! I can't help but contribute to this ooooold comment. Like you guys said, there were several cartoons like this, but I really think the one you guys are thinking of is "Kidd Video". It's arguable one of the more "iconic" 80's rock band cartoons. I didn't even recognize the name when I saw it -- I had to look up clips on YouTube to recognize it, and they are so deliciously terribad. -- [[Special:Contributions/24.242.225.193|24.242.225.193]] 03:56, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

::I think the cartoon that it most closely resembles is Josie and the Pussycats. It was made in the early 70's. It's about a band that went around doing things like catching criminals and whatnot. In the later half of the show, they board a spaceship and have the same kinds of adventures...but they're in space. Lots of similarities. --[[User:Branewashed|Branewashed]] 03:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh my god, I can't believe I just watched that. How can I get back the four minutes of my life I lost? Why TBC WHY?

Intensely boring shark-jumping action!!! I liked those fireworks.

==Space Ghost Homage?==
I know this would be horribly shot down if I tried to put it in Fun Facts, but given that TBC likely watch Adult Swim, I can't help feeling that this email was a Space Ghost Coast to Coast homage.

I don't think so, in Space Ghost it just has him walking around on his knees for ten minutes, here Strong Bad does stuff, but said stuff is pretty dull. [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

==Possible Inside Reference==
Bub's "Be's" was last heard from Stong Bad in [[the bet]] ("Let's see you be's cool"). Was there any other occasion?

:The toons-menu description of ''Homestar vs. Little Girl 2'' says, "Little Girl be's cute." That's why I don't think this is a reference. It is just a word the Brothers Chaps throw out now and then. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 11:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I just now watched [[2 years]] and noticed the cinder block's hope that they can still "be's friends." As far as I can tell this discussion right here is the only mention of it on this page.

==Wowowowhat?==

I'm rather convinced that Strong Bad says "What?" at the same time that Homestar says "Wow," but this doesn't seem to be a universal view. Opinions? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

They both say Wow. I'm 100% certain.

Not sure, myself. Listened again and I can't quite tell, but I'm leaning towards "Wow" simply because it doesn't make much sense for Strong Bad to say "What?" when he just finished talking with Bubs about that very subject. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 06:05, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: It is kinda hard to discern, I'll admit. However, I can VERY clearly hear that SB's intonation rises (as though he's asking a question) as Homestar's falls. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm almost positive I hear "Wow" here instead of "What". Strong Bad has kind of a strange way of saying it, but it's one I hear very often in his voice (it's usually "Whoa" or "Ohh", however). His intonation rises, but falls at the very end. It doesn't sound like a question to me. Also, I don't hear a hard "t" sound, and I think that would be pretty noticeable after checking it a few times. The entire word doesn't seem to have any hard sounds. Lastly, check out his mouth; it starts out with a rounded "o" shape then opens up into its normal rectangle shape. I think "Wow" fits that far better than "What" does. Now that I see both sides of the argument though, it's hard to be sure. Some more opinions would be nice. - [[User:71.113.43.208|71.113.43.208]] 09:36, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure SB says "Woah" and then HR says "Wow". {{User:phlip/sig}} 09:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It is definitely definitely definitely not "what". SB's intonation rises as homestar's falls yes, but if you try to block out homestar's and listen JUST to SB's inotation, you'll notice it falls again after the rise, which is EXACTLY how someone says "woah" or "wow", with a rise then a fall. Can we please PLEASE not leave "what" there? It looks like no one but Jay is advocating it being what, so why is his opinion trumping everyone else's? It's so very obviously not what. maybe it's woah maybe it's wow, but for god's sake let it be changed! Either of those is better than what. Woah or Wow are both probably correct, they're essentially the same word, but it isn't what!

Nothing? No one cares that anyone who changes the "what" gets reverted despite, from what I see, no one else thinking that's what it is? sigh.

:Eh, I hear "what" too. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 05:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's got to be "wow". Like Anonny said up there, it's the word that fits the movements of his mouth best. Or possibly "whoa", but definitely ''not'' "what". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:37, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Good point. He does have a round mouth while saying the line, so it probably ''isn't'' what. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: He has a round mouth when he says "what" earlier in ''that very scene'' (In "What are you... um... doing?") But I listened more closely, and I think I'm starting to agree with "whoa" - but it's definitely definitely definitely not "wow", to quote Anonny up there. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:51, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Sudden stop? ==

This toon stops most of the way through (when Strong Bad is listing three letter words and types "cod, for, her") for me, can anyone help? I've tried everything. Refresh, Hard Refresh, Cache clearing, saving the .SWF...can anyone help me? -[[User:Homestar Runnar]]

Elaborate. I think it's MEANT to do that...

== Auugh! ==

What the- I don't usually send e-mails but this week I sent in ten a DAY and none of mine ever get picked! Whaddaya need, 100 a day? Poofy

:Probably more. TBC get thousands a day and only a tiny fraction are ever read at all. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:26, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, they get about 3,000 a day, (although a ton are from websites in which people signed up and didn't want to submit their own email addresses so they use Strong Bad's) so it's pretty **** hard! Some time during the summer I'm gonna write 100 emails a day (It should take less than an hour each day) for 10 days and send in 1,000 on the same day. It's very obnoxious of me, but I would love myself if my email got in. -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 02:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== I see vs. Eye see ==

We need to reach a consensus. Does Homestar say, "More like... ''Eye'' see," or, "More like... ''I'' see"? I think the joke here is that he says ''I'' see because he can't close his eyes. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 11:51, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I agree. It's the issue of Homestar seeing as opposed to Strong Bad, so there's emphasis on Homestar, and seeing as "I" represents Homestar, emphasis on "I" instead of "eye" makes sense. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 12:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Agreed - that's how I saw the joke as well. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 16:38, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:no, wrong! the joke is that Homestar is saying the word "eye". This may also be a reference to a previous halloween cartoon, where Homestar claims the noise that eyes make is "seeee... seee...." You see the character of Homestar says stupid things a lot. You should consult his character page for more information. It's eye, not I.

Footnote time. We don't want to look stupid. I'd say it's obviously "I", though. TBC don't go in for those kind of cheap puns...

I think we should leave it as is, by the way. The same thing was done in "for kids" with SB saying "I'LL KILL ALL OF YOUR DOGS/DOLLS!" and it looks fine.

I think the footnote DOES make us look stupid. How does "eye" fit into that context at all? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:51, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The whole "Eye" thing needs to go. It doesn't make any sense and is really stupid. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

''Eye'' agree ... I mean ''I'' agree ... it's ''I'' see. Get rid of the footnotes! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:07, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Doing ==
Strong Bad saying "What are you...uh...doing" keeps getting inserted as an inside reference to [[car]], but since it keeps getting reverted, it apparently is not. Just mentioning this "worthless non-fact" to prevent further mistakes from being made by folks who don't page back through the history. [[User:221.218.44.253|221.218.44.253]] 16:28, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Easter Egg Goof? ==

I added this fun fact, which was later removed by [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]]:
*On the King Of Town easter egg, you see a free-floating hand holding a mug of beer or soda, that is not connected to any character on the screen.

The response was "it belongs to the blonde behind KOT".

To me, it looks like a goof. It doesn't appear that the hand is connected to an arm or any person. Even homestar, even though he's armless, doesn't have a hand when he's holding something. Not a big deal...just looked like a legit goof to me. What does anyone else think about this? --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Just looked at it again. Sure looked like the mug, hand, wrist, & forearm belong to the Blonde Pom Pom Girl. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it has an arm. The arm is really skinny, so you might have thought it was a finger or something. --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 18:11, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok - I looked again, and this time increased the resolution, and I can see that I was in fact wrong...although you gotta admit that it's kinda weird looking. --[[User:Duke33|Duke33]] 16:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Can we link [[Wikipedia:List of three-letter English words|this list]] somewhere in the fun-facts? I think it would be interesting [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 16:04, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Forgive me--evidently this has been discussed already, but I can't find the discussion--what in the world ''is'' "yok?" I googled it and got a Sydney-based graffiti artist(s?), a Japanes quasi-punk band, a software company with two titles, both for mac, and the Turkish Council of Higher Education. Were TBC referencing any of these? — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]]
:::Actually, "yok" is in the list of [[Wikipedia:List_of_three-letter_English_words#Y|3-letter English words]]. In fact, all the words except "sbu" are in that list.

:Coach Z referring to job as being a "four-letter word" has a real world connotation in that the phrase "four-letter word" is often used to describe swearing. But furthermore (and more to the point) through our changing social interaction, using that description currently also alludes to a negative connotation of anything a person hates or strongly dislikes doing. Ie. "Work is a four letter word." has become a musing of distaste for difficult labor. Is that too obscure?
::Yes, i think he's just referring to his own pronunciation. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

== SNAP! ==

I dunno what happened, but when I saw Bubs' back after Strong Bad left, it seemed like a gap in the frames.

:Yeah, it looks a bit weird, but given the shot of "real" with the closeup of SB's mouth, I think it's intentional. It's in the transcript now. {{User:phlip/sig}} 20:49, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:This email had a couple of things in its flash video that I feel are uncharacteristic of TBC: the use of the default flash object zoom, for example, that doesn't quite zoom accurately, making objects appear to move laterally while zooming in - Bubs' back, for example. Perhaps that's intentional, but it looked different as well as being somewhat unique among the SBemails. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]]|[[User talk:Southpaw018|talk]] 21:53, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: As somebody who uses Flash on a regular basis, I can say that the way certain objects appear to move laterally when zooming is, in this cartoon at least, intentional and not a symptom of Flash's crappy zoom. I imagine TBC probably made objects such as SB's computer stool move at a different rate to the background to make the whole scene seem less flat.
Actually, I think that was an intentional skip, because it went along with the beat of the boring tune. --[[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]]

== Whoa! ==
Do we really need to differentiate between "Wow" and "Whoa"?
:Well, Anonny, according to the above thread, several people think it's one or the other, but aren't necessarily sure which. I myself think it ''sounds'' like "whoa", but his mouth movements suggest "wow" more. Hence, the footnote. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::It just seems weird. Phonetically they're about one sound apart, and neither of them have any meaning other than to suggest surprise...
:It's not so much to differentiate between them, rather that if it's not there, people will constantly edit it one way or the other, and the edit history will be flooded people changing it from wow to woah and vice versa. {{User:phlip/sig}} 22:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What about an only-visible-on-edit note?
:I don't think that's good enough. First of all, the note is to readers, not editors. There will come a time when this page isn't edited that much. Second, like I said, most people are sure it's one or the other, but even after repeated examinations, they can't decide between the two. As long as there's that uncertainty, a footnote is appropriate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Personally I really thought Strong Bad said "What?"

== Tejas ==

Well I changed Tejas to Tehas before, now I see it's back to Tejas with a link to history of Tejas, but I think the whole point was missed.

If I'm reading that line, or even reading the page it links too, and I don't know J is pronounced like H in spanish, it sounds to me like this site is saying the word is pronounced Teh-Jas, with a hard english J. If you want to leave the J there, please at least have it mentioned somewhere that it's pronounced like an H.

And I still don't think changing it to Tejas signifies the H sound any more than Texas does. Ever heard how they pronounce "Mexico" in spanish? Meh-hee-ko. X can sound like an H too. If the purpose of the Tejas line is to communicate that it's pronounced like an H, it doesn't communicate that at all. Please either make it Tehas or put somewhere that the J is pronounced like an H for the sake of accuracy. [[User:216.203.251.141|216.203.251.141]]

Alright, no one cares to respond. I just noticed it was It's dot com who changed it to Tejas. And insisted no less.

Why? Is it just because I'm not part of this group that any change I try to make gets reverted? Whose blessing do I need to get to be able to fix minor snafoos I see without having to make a big thing about it every time? How is Tejas better than Tehas in that sentence >_< Alright, If for some reason someone NEEDS to see Tejas there, even though it doesn't represent what's actually pronounced, I'll attempt a compromise. If someone else can word what I'm adding better, fine, but don't do it just cause you want it worded YOUR way please, do it because there's an actual better way to do it. And if it's just plain reverted altogether this time without at least someone letting me know why here, I'm done trying to contribute, it's just power abuse and it'll happen every time I try to improve something. [[User:216.203.250.80|216.203.250.80]]

:hey man, I understand what you want to do, and why you think it would be an improvement, but I completely disagree with you. I like it the way it is because it is properly spelled and completely accurate. You are suggesting that they purposefully misspell a word because of the way it is pronounced. That would just be backwards. When SB says "Tejas", he isn't speaking English, he's speaking Spanish, and therefore, proper Spanish spelling should be used.
:If SB were to speak French and say "oui", would you suggest that they spell it "whee"? [[User:Nueve|-nueve-]]

== Easter Egg Transcript ==

I dunno about you, but it doesn't really sound like they're singing along to the song, and more like they're laughing at some kind of joke:
*Pom Pom's girls are OBVIOUSLY laughing, though I can't say as there's ever been a time when they said much else.
*Pom Pom's bubbling ''kinda'' sounds like laughing (like, say, how he laughed in [[A Jorb Well Done]]), and the way his head bobs up and down kinda implies it too, but since it's just bubbling and not actual words it could go either way.
*Homsar's just being Homsar.
*The KoT, though, and what I think REALLY gives it away, says (from what I make of it): "Yes, ooh, that's mighty funny!" It doesn't sound much like the lyrics to the song at all (where in the clip does Homestar make an "ooo" sound?), and, if that's what WAS going on (a joke, hence why the KoT says it's "mighty funny"), it probably WOULD elicit the responses above, and it would probably make more sense.
Thus I think we should probably rewrite that mini-transcript there. Thoughts? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 03:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I agree that they're not singing along... I thought at first that the KoT's was saying "''{something}'' and I'm partying" or something, but listening now it doesn't sound like that... it could be "''{something}'' and I'm funny", but it doesn't sound like "mighty" to me. But the transcript probably should be changed. {{User:phlip/sig}} 05:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I can see why, but the rest of it really doesn't match up (the only parts that sound like "party" would be the two at the end; "Yes, ooh, that's" doesn't sound anything like the song). In fact, I'd say the only one who'd really be "singing along", assuming that's what they're even doing, would be the KoT; the rest I seriously believe look like they're laughing. I don't think it really adds up. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 14:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Rapper Reference?==
When Strong Bad says "fat, pat," is he referring to the rapper Fat Pat? For those of you who don't know who Fat Pat was, he was a rapper from Houston, Texas who was shot and killed in 1998.-[[User:Sly Kly|Sly Kly]]

== Bricks ==

If Bubs' Concession Stand's side wall has 296 bricks, and we assume they are the standard 8" by 4" variety, that means the wall is at least 64 square feet. Far too speculative for the article, but thought it was interesting enough to stick over here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

::Hmm, now that you mention it, I can see it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

: bricks are 8" by 4" by 2 1/4" (US), the longest and shortest dimension make the area of the face that shows. The 4" dimension is the wall depth. Obscure yes, but I'm guessing the wall is roughly 8 feet tall by 6 or 7 feet wide.

== Strong Bad's new walk ==

I notice that when Strong Bad walks away from his keyboard in this email, (and ends up at Bub's Concession Stand) his right and left arms are moving in sync with their respective legs. Normally when walking, people alternate arm and leg motions opposite each other to achieve better balance.

== Comment on two Fun facts ==

* When Strong Bad leaves his computer room, his "new walk" as mentioned in the commentary is unusual in that it is with his right and left arms moving in sync with their respective legs. Regular walking (or running) involves alternating same side arms and legs opposite of each other but parallel to the alternate limb to maintain the best balance.

This fact is kinda awkwardly written, but I dunno how to make it better. Can anyone else? and...

* On the close-up of Strong Bad's face in the bottom left corner, Bubs' belt can be seen.

This goof is technically true, but is it noteworthy? The line on Bubs's midsection is green, so it's virtually indistinguishable from the grass of the field that would rightly be seen behind SB's head, without looking outside the frame. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 03:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Not an inside reference? ==

I don't see any reason to think that Coach Z's use of the phrase "four-letter word" is a "nod" to another episode that also happened to use that same phrase. It's not a unique enough phrase to assume that there's any connection whatsoever. It's like suggesting that SB's use of the number 300 is a nod to "origins," in which he also uses the number 300. It's obviously a coincidence, and not a very strange one at that. --[[User:Branewashed|Branewashed]] 17:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

::That's not the one I was referring to. Check out the next item on the list: "'A four letters word' may be a nod to Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2, in which said phrase was used by Homestar." Hmm... while copying that over, I noticed that "letters" is plural. That's not grammatically correct, which adds a bit more credence to the idea that it's a reference. I still think it's coincidental, though. That kind of phraseology is common in the HSR Universe. --[[User:Branewashed|Branewashed]] 19:25, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Didnt Strong Mad have a Trogdor poster in this email?

This is probably a stupid thought, but since it doesn't actually ''say'' TROGDOR on the poster in Strong Mad's room, (it says PUBERTY) perhaps Strong Bad ripped off Trogdor from that dragon? Or maybe subconciously drew the same thing based off his childhood memory of it? I know, kind of far fetched. --[[Special:Contributions/76.248.84.243|76.248.84.243]] 15:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

[[Image:legarm_bubsstand.png|thumb|Mr. Legarm's Stand... or Bubs' Stand?]]

'''Mr. Legarm's Stand''' is a prop from the short musical play [[Dreamaway Johnny]]. The production can be seen in an Easter egg in [[part-time job]]. The prop has apparently been used in another play as [[Bubs|Bubs']] [[Bubs' Concession Stand|actual concession stand]], though the nature of this play has never been revealed.

The name "Mr. Legarm" might be a reference to Bubs' habit of overcharging his customers. In [[DNA Evidence]], he told Marzipan that an analysis of the DNA would cost her "an arm and a leg."

The Homestar Runner can play "a mean [[Washboard|worshboard]]." He also appears to have incredible aim when firing a spitball out of a straw, as he was able to peg [[Stinkoman]] in the eye from a great distance in [[20X6 vs. 1936]]. He has also been kicking an old [[Can of Water Soup]] around ever since his dog "worshed" away in the storm of '28. While he seems to like most of the characters he meets, he dislikes [[Sickly Sam]], whom he refers to as their "worst friend," and [[Rumble Red]], whom he labels a "Communist fool" and eventually kills with the help of [[Old-Timey Marzipan]].

[[Image:TheHomestarRunnerHeadForward.png|thumb|left|Head shot straight-on.]]

The Homestar Runner apparently managed to call [[Marzipan]] using an empty soup can and a length of twine in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]], even though he exists in a different era than modern-day Marzipan.

He is [[Mike Chapman]]'s favorite character in the entire Homestar Runner body of work. Mike thinks he's a lot smarter and more aware of what's going on than modern-day Homestar. Though this may be true, The Homestar Runner does not seem to be able to either hear or understand others very well, and often responds with a flat "What?" to other characters who try to converse with him. Like his modern day counterpart, he frequently mispronounces words, pronouncing "accumulated" as "acoomalated" and "Communist" as "Commonest".

The Brothers Chaps refer to this character as "Old Timey Homestar," "Kick the Can Homestar," or simply "Homestar". He refers to himself as "The Homestar Runner". The Homestar Runner can make his legs longer. He demonstrated this in [[Ballad of The Sneak]], and again in [[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]].

Tiny-Handed Strong Bad

[[Image:tinyhandedstrongbad.png|thumb|150px|"I'm the very strongest! You guys are not very strong!"]]
'''Tiny-Handed Strong Bad''' (a.k.a. '''T.H.S.B.''') is the name given to [[Strong Bad]] when he is drawn in the style of the [[Original Book]] and cartoons that parody the early work of [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Unlike the exaggerated voice Strong Bad talked with in the early [[Flash]] toons, Tiny-Handed Strong Bad talks in a bland, monotonous voice. He isn't very good at ten-step foot races or lifting grapes. However, he is good at playing tennis on [[the moon]], beating [[Coach Z]] 1,000,000 to 3. He attempted to dig a hole to China with his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Ears|ears]]. While it is not evident whether or not he accomplished this task, he did manage to dig up a giant mug of frosty root beer. He also lost a ten-step footrace against [[The_Homestar_Runner_(storybook)|The Homestar Runner]], which entitled him to receive an egg containing a [[The Cheat]] and a lifetime supply of fish sticks (which [[The Prince of Town]] may have later eaten). Instead of having black pants like Strong Bad, he has red pants.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I am Strong Bad, and I am not making an "I approve this email" joke.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: storms</div>
Hey Strongbad, 
 
'Sup, man? So I was just wonderin', does Strong Badia 
ever have natural disasters, like hurricanes 'n stuff?
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad enunciates "'Sup, man", "wonderin'", and "'n stuff" and reads the lack of a name as "From, Nobody".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dodges around}'' Hey! Whoa! Heh! Watch where you're flinging those apostrophes nobody. You could hurt somebody. You could hurt... yourself.

''{Strong Bad turns away from his Lappy as quiet music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking as if in a public service announcement}'' Hi. I'm regular Strong Bad. If you or someone you love is an anonymous apostrophe flinger, please call our hot-free number. ''{waves his hand as 1-800-APOSTROHOLIC appears in yellow lettering}'' Or give them a charley horse right away.

''{Strong Bad turns back to his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' As for H.R. Hurricanesnstuf, we've dealt with disasters, but mainly those of a decidedly UNnatural s-s-s-sort.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat having a tea party in Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

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

''{The ground shakes as the table bounces and the dishes clatter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{a second shake}'' What the—

''{Cut to a long shot as the ground bounces a third time.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh. The King of Town must be getting a mega-physical.

''{An enormous gray foot crashes down from the sky, destroying a section of the fence and sending everything flying.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHA!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{very startled The Cheat noises}''

''{Japanese music plays as a pan upwards reveals the giant to be Bubs, dubbed "King Bubsgonzola Supreme".}''

'''SINGERS:''' King Bubsgonzola! King- King Bubsgonzola, Supreme!

'''BUBS:''' ''{roars}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{terrified, as the camera zooms in}'' It's a giant Bubs from outer space! ''{the camera jumps back and starts zooming in again}'' Or... mutated by radiation! ''{the camera jumps back and starts zooming in yet again}'' Or... from the depths of the ocean! ''{the camera jumps back and starts zooming in one more time}'' Or... flushed down the toilet!

''{Homestar appears a few feet from Bubs's giant foot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh my crap! Bubs turned us all into ants! That fortune cookie knew what he was talking about! C'mon, everyone. Let's go steal a slice of chocolate cake from that picnic table over there.

''{As Homestar is about to run, we wipe to a silhouette of Bubs as the background flashes orange with every crushing step as he stomps to The King of Town's castle. Japanese music is heard. Bubs roars.}''

''{Cut to The King of Town sitting at a table with a few bites taken out of it as the ceiling of the castle begins to fall.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Whoo! What am I, getting my mega-physical?

''{Transition to Marzipan and Strong Sad at a "Free Art Classes for Losers" seminar. Marzipan has painted a picture of a big apple and a tree, while Strong Sad has painted a yellow bar of soap with the word "Death" on it. Asian music and Bubs's footsteps can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' See? The apple's not giant. It's just in the foreground.

''{Bubs's giant foot crashes away the sign and Strong Sad's painting as Strong Sad runs away screaming.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{roars}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unfazed}'' See? Bubs' foot isn't giant. It's just in the foreground.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Things were looking grim, so we called an emergency town meeting. We needed an organized forum for people to shout out their ideas all at the same time!

''{Cut to a slow pan of characters at a Town Meeting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think we should kill it! I think we should kill it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' We must try and understand this creature! We must try and understand this creature!

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

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' I say we try to run the picket fence at him. A box in one!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's just in the foreground! People, it's just in the foreground!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{inexplicably passing by again}'' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{overlapping}'' We must protect the queen! I have six legs!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastic}'' So of course, the nerdy scientist-type had it all figured out.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to a chalkboard and a [[booOOMbox|boombox]].}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I knew we had to try and understand this poor creature. So I recorded his roars and played them back at high-speed. Listen to my extremely scientific findings! ''{presses play}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{roaring}''

''{Strong Sad presses fast-forward.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly faster roar}''

''{Strong Sad presses fast-forward.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly faster, semi-coherent}'' Chicken wings!

''{Strong Sad presses fast-forward}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{in normal tone}'' Don't eat my chicken wings!

''{Strong Sad presses stop.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Something in Bubs' chicken wings must have caused him to mutate and he's been trying to warn us all alon—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cut to the chase. How do we kill it?

'''STRONG SAD:''' We don't. I was able to mix-up an anti-chicken-wing... which is really just a bowl of kashi. ''{he holds up said bowl}'' It's the culinary opposite of chicken wings.

''{Drums play during a pan to the chalkboard, then the chalkboard fades into reality as silhouettes of Coach Z with a catapult, The Cheat, Marzipan, Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and giant Bubs stand at the ready. Coach Z lets fly the catapult of kashi. Bubs can be heard swallowing it.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{roars as he suddenly shrinks back to normal size}'' ...don't eat my chicken wings!

'''STRONG SAD:''' We know! The chicken wings will make us grow a hundred feet tall!

'''BUBS:''' No they won't!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then why didn't you want us to eat your chicken wings?

'''BUBS:''' 'Cause they mine! And they good!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how did you grow a hundred feet tall?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, that. Well, it's kind of embarrassing, but I accidentally flushed myself down the toilet while I was shaving.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You have to shave?

'''COACH Z:''' ''{leaning in}'' You have a terlet?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{running up holding a bitten leaf above his head}'' C'mon, you guys! Let's all go jump in somebody's pants! Everybody, single file! ''{drops leaf and marches away}'' Hup-two-three-four!...

'''BUBS:''' Well, I better mosey on. ''{Fade cut through black to a beach that looks a lot like [[The Island]].}''

''{Japanese music plays as Bubs walks out to sea.}''

'''SINGERS:''' King Bubsgonzola! King-King Bubsgonzola, Supreme!

''{A Japanese symbol in gold appears as the screen fades to black. Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{heartily}'' But Strong Badinians ''{he has some difficulty pronouncing this}'' are a strong people. We will recover. We will rebuild. We will reduce, reuse, recycle!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After a while, Strong Bad says the following.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We will be kind. We will rewind!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaking of the fourth wall]] is likely in reference to [[Wikipedia:very special episode|very special episodes]], wherein an actor from the TV show will speak directly to the audience at the end of the episode.
*The idea of mutating after being flushed down a toilet is a reference to animals mutating in sewers, an urban myth popularized in science fiction.
*Coach Z suggests sports defensive plays, "[[Wikipedia: Box-and-one defense|box-and-one]]" and the picket fence. The picket fence is used in many different sports and denotes three or more people in a line defending.
*"1-800-APOSTROHOLIC" refers to addiction centers such as those that help people with [[Wikipedia: alcoholism|alcoholism]].
*Homestar's suggestion for everyone to "go jump in somebody's [[pants]]" is a reference to the expression "[[Wikipedia:Ants in the Pants|ants in the pants]]", used to describe someone who is restless or anxious.
*A [[Wikipedia:Charley horse|Charley horse]] is a term used to describe a contusion or bruising of the quadricep muscles, most commonly caused by a sudden impact to the anterior thigh.

===Trivia===
*Bubs's roars are really his line "Don't eat my chicken wings!" [[Wikipedia:Audio timescale-pitch modification|pitch shifted]] down 2 octaves.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#dune 2|dune 2]]".
*The line "We will be kind. We will rewind." was added shortly after the email was released.
*When the email was first released, Marzipan's recycle bucket was empty. Cold Ones and Coldson Lite cans were later put inside it.
*Marzipan's recycling bin has a design on the side that consists of several arrows making a star shape. The universally recognized [[Wikipedia:Recycling symbol|recycling symbol]] commonly found on recycling bins has a similar design where three arrows form a triangular [[Wikipedia:Möbius strip|Möbius strip]].
*This is the first time we see Strong Bad's [[toilet]].
*This email contains [[Strong Bad Smiling]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Find out how Free Country USA copes with the most unnatural of disasters."
*The phone number for "1-800-APOSTROHOLIC" is 1-800-276-7876-46542. This number does not exist in real life.

===Remarks===
[[Image:twin cheats.png|thumb|Two The Cheats!?]]
*In the scene with everyone talking in the meeting, as the camera pans to the right, [[Duplicate Characters|two The Cheats]] are seen, and are briefly on the screen at the same time.
*When Strong Sad is explaining how to stop Bubsgonzola, his face is an [[Strong Sad Evolution|older design]].
*The "reduce" and "recycle" Easter eggs stated above do not work while Strong Bad is saying "We will be kind. We will rewind!". This is probably to accommodate the Easter eggs, which jump back to when they were clicked.
*The music during the apostrophe public service announcement is taken from [[CGNU]].
*Strong Sad's recording of Bubsgonzola's voice is labeled "Bubsgonzola: The Demos".
*The plan to shrink Bubs back to normal was dependent on Bubs's growth being due to something being wrong with his chicken wings. If we accept Strong Sad's logic for his plan, then it shouldn't have worked given that Bubs's growth had a different cause (i.e. he had flushed himself down the toilet).
*The tank in Strong Bad's toilet must refill extremely quickly, given that The Cheat could flush again almost immediately.
*Strong Bad's toilet is pretty big, considering that the lower half of Strong Bad's body can fit inside it.
*The Japanese symbol when Bubs walks into the water resembles "[[Image:edge.jp.png|20px|端]]", which can mean "end" (however, this character means the end of a physical object like a street, or an edge; end in the sense intended here should be "[[Image:end.jp.png|20px|終]]" or "[[Image:finish.jp.png|20px|完]]").
*The Japanese on the King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster reads "[[Image:concession.jp.png|82px|譲歩の人]]" ''Jōho no Hito'', roughly meaning "person of concession" (though the meaning of "concession" is not that of "Concession Stand", rather a synonym for "compromise"). A better translation would be "[[Image:Baiten no Hito.png|82px|売店の人]]" ''Baiten no Hito''.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad types "Watch where you're flinging those apostrophes nobody" he forgets to put a comma between "apostrophes" and "nobody."
*After the apostroholic public service announcement, the words "could hurt...yourself" disappear off the screen; then "hurt...yourself" reappears, but the "could" is gone. As the screen pages down, the "c" in "could" can be seen briefly.
*Strong Bad appears to insert an extra space in between the comma after "Hurricanesnstuf" and "we've."
*Throughout the email, Marzipan's dress has one button which is not shiny like the others.
*The red circle on the record button on Strong Sad's tape player disappears when the play button is depressed, and reappears once the recording stops.
*The tape in the boombox is playing while moving from right to left when it can only play when moving from left to right.

===Inside References===
[[Image:unnatural tea party.png|thumb|One lump or two?]]
*Marzipan mentioned [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]] being tampered with while at a tea party with [[Homsar]] in the previous email, [[strong badathlon]].
**The table and tea set from that scene are reused in a [[Wikipedia:Palette swap|palette-swapped]] version for this email. Strong Bad's coloration is used for the tea set, though the previous tea set did not match either Marzipan's or Homsar's coloring.
*The fortune cookie Easter egg is in the style of the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game.
**Before the paper is fully unfolded, it also says [[Fortune Cookies#Trivia|other things]], like the original.
*Strong Bad also asked Homestar if ''he'' had to shave in [[caper]].
*Strong Sad's painting has the word "[[Death]]" written on it.
*The "free art classes for losers." sign is a reference to the "free concert for birds" sign from [[marzipan]], and the similar "free concert" sign from [[Seasonal Sweaters]].
*Marzipan teaching painting is also a reference to [[Joy of Painting]], where Marzipan (albeit with an afro and beard) paints a landscape.
*The King of Town appears to be [[Eating Non-Food Items|eating his table]]. Similarly, the leaf that Homestar carries appears to have bite marks taken out of it.
*Bubsgonzola is a [[portmanteau]].
*Strong Sad retrieves the bowl of [[Wikipedia:kasha|kashi]] from [[hammerspace]]; he just reaches off-screen and the bowl appears in his hand.

===Real-World References===
*"I am Strong Bad, and I am not making an '[[Wikipedia:I approve this message|I approve this email]]' joke" is a reference to American political campaign advertising. Candidates are required by law to state their name and approval of the ad.
*King Bubsgonzola Supreme is a reference to [[Wikipedia:kaiju|kaiju]] monsters such as [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]], [[Wikipedia:King Ghidorah|King Ghidorah]], and [[Wikipedia:Mothra|Mothra]]. The "King" in his name might allude to King Ghidorah or [[Wikipedia:King Kong|King Kong]].
**Furthermore, the methods that Strong Bad suggests how King Bubsgonzola Supreme got big are common plot devices in kaiju films.
**The scene in which King Bubsgonzola Supreme makes his entrance and the theme music plays as well as the end scene are references to [[Wikipedia:The Godzilla Power Hour|The Godzilla Power Hour]].
**The scene with Bubs going into the water and the Japanese symbol is a reference to Godzilla movies, some of which contain a similar sequence (usually at the end of the story) in which Godzilla slowly makes his way back out to sea after wreaking havoc or defeating an enemy.
*The "gonzola" in King Bubsgonzola Supreme's name refers to [[Wikipedia:Gorgonzola (cheese)|Gorgonzola]] cheese.
*H.R. Hurricanesnstuff is a reference to [[Wikipedia:H.R. Pufnstuf|H.R. Pufnstuf]], an infamously surreal kids' show with a brightly colored dragon as the star which began running in 1969.
*Strong Bad's line "[[Wikipedia:Cut to the chase|Cut to the chase]]. How do we [[Death|kill]] it?" is taken from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Hellboy (film)|Hellboy]]''.
*The drumbeats occurring when Bubsgonzola arrives, and when Bubs is leaving in the final two scenes, are taken from [[Wikipedia:Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings|Age of Empires II]].
*Coach Z's suggestion for dealing with the monster by "running the Picket Fence at him" is a reference to a line in the film ''[[Wikipedia:Hoosiers|Hoosiers]]'', originally delivered by Dennis Hopper.
*[[Wikipedia:Reduce, Reuse, Recycle|Reduce, Reuse, Recycle]] is a slogan used by conservationists to encourage consumers to save resources.
*"We will be kind. We will rewind" is a reference to "Be kind, rewind", a slogan once commonly used by video rental stores (such as [[Wikipedia:Blockbuster Inc.|Blockbuster]]) to remind the customer to rewind [[Wikipedia:videotape|VHS tapes]] prior to returning them.

*The sound and shot of Bubs shrinking is a reference to the arcade game [[Wikipedia:Rampage (arcade game)|Rampage]].

===Fast Forward===
*The King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster is reused in [[the movies]].
*The DNA scene would be revisited in the big toon [[DNA Evidence]], where it is revealed Strong Bad's role in tampering with the DNA evidence was simply in prompting Bubs to tamper with it.

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

'''MATT:''' This is a crazy email, Mike. It's just crazy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' What's crazy about it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Because it's crazy.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Matt tries not to laugh}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Wow, that's pretty crazy.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. See? ''I'' say it's crazy and I'm in it.

'''MIKE:''' That must mean it's ''really'' crazy.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I mean, this is...this is just nuts. It's unnatural, it's an unnatural sbemail. It doesn't fit in the natural ''{stumbles, unsure of the proper word}'' lineage of sbemails.

'''MIKE:''' ''{takes a breath}'' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't believe me?

'''MIKE:''' I don't believe you. Man.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well...''{on-screen Strong Bad says "H.R. Hurricanesnstuf"}'' Ooh. Click on that! ''{Mike snickers}'' Hey, click on that.

'''MIKE:''' I...can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why not?

'''MIKE:''' I don't have a clicker.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' A mouse.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, but there's a good Easter egg. 

'''MIKE:''' ''{with a 'j' sound}'' D'you ever call the remote control "the clicker?"

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh...my—maybe—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping, chuckling}'' Your—in your family?

'''STRONG BAD:''' —maybe my great-grandma called it the clicker.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' She called it the pterodactyl that flies out of a stone box that turns the TV on for you. ''{a pause during the intro music as King Bubsgonzola Supreme enters}'' Whoa...that's a tall Bubs! That's one tall order of Bubs.

'''MIKE:''' Is that like the, um...[[Zelda]] bosses, does it always do that? Show their name...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, it gives 'em a little intro, and...tells you their name.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mm.

'''MIKE:''' [[the chair|Dodongo]], ''{chuckles slightly}'' maybe?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{chuckles}'' Yeah, gotta watch out for Dodongo! Now, why is Ho—Homestar thinks that he's—we've all been turned into ants?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —including, like, the world and objects around us?

'''MIKE:''' Everything but Bubs, apparently, he thinks has turned into ants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoooa! The KOT  was eatin' his table, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' What do you think of Strong Sad's painting there, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What was it, soap?

'''MIKE:''' A bar of soap that says "Death" on it instead of "Dial?" ''{chuckles slightly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhhh! Deft soap. 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's pretty...it's heady stuff. 

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what he uses to...to ''not'' wash. ''{Mike chuckles}'' It just makes you smell like death. ''{Mike laughs aloud; pause until Coach Z speaks at the meeting}'' Ooh, the picket fence! We ''shoulda'' run the picket fence at 'im!

'''MIKE:''' Didn't they run the picket fence—did they run at, uh...—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cedar Knob?

'''MIKE:''' Cedar Knob, ''{laughs}'' a buncha mites?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't get caught watchin' the paint dry, ''{Mike laughs}'' Mike. ''{pause until Strong Sad explains his plan}'' Uuugh. Listen to this brainiac talk.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad, your brother—you don't like Strong Sad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' You—wait.

'''STRONG BAD:''' A new development has occurred...—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Wait— ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in my sbemails. ''{Mike continues laughing underneath}'' I no longer like my little brother.

'''MIKE:''' Ahh. Uh—''little'' brother?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Sad plays the sped-up tape}'' Don't eat his chicken waaangs! I like that drawing of—of Bubs, though, on the—on the wall—on the chalkboard that he made...

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' His...scientific diagram?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's a pretty good-drawing Bubs. Look at 'im! Fat Bubs...

'''MIKE:''' He's motioning you to come here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, come 'ere! "Come 'ere, guys, I'm da Bubs..." ''{Mike laughs}'' "contessa man." 

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Contessa man?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{silhouetted Bubs shrinks from the kashi}'' Whoa, that's a good sound effect!

'''MIKE:''' Coach Z's a good shot with that ''{laughing}'' catapult —

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously, also laughing}'' He is!

'''MIKE:''' —that medieval catapult.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah! Why don't...we play with that cat—that catapult, like ''every'' Strong Bad ''{chuckling}'' email?

'''MIKE:''' I think that catapult ''only'' exists in silhouette mode, ''{chuckling}'' Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh-ho...that's why.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's exactly why.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We only get silhouette mode—

'''MIKE:''' Maybe the next—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{underneath}'' —in the third frame...''{Mike laughs}'' of our Dennis the Menace cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

''{pause; Homestar runs up with his chewed leaf, and Mike stifles laughter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ants in pants! That's a big leaf.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, well, he's a small ant.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's backwards. 

'''MIKE:''' Uh, is...going back to the, uh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Bubs makes his exit} {overlapping}'' Uh...they always go into the sea. ''{the kanji come up}'' I'm sure that's wrong. ''{Mike laughs}'' Whatever that...Japanese character was.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, uh, M—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I bet you take about two seconds to research that stuff.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, probably—''Matt'' probably did a two-second Google translation for...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' "Orange man blue face."

''{The commentary ends after Strong Bad types "recycle!", apparently cut off before the waiting egg.}''

=== Fun Facts ===
[[Image:unnatural_commentary_dodongo.jpg|thumb|200px|Watch out for Dodongo!]]
*Strong Bad's mention of a pterodactyl in a stone box refers to the remote controls used in ''[[Hanna-Barbera|The Flintstones]]''.
*Bosses in all but one of the 3D games in the Zelda series have intro videos with a name caption. The only Dodongo shown in this manner is the second boss in Ocarina of Time.
**A very similar creature, Dongorongo, appears as a boss with an intro in Phantom Hourglass, though it is not definitively known to be a Dodongo.
*Mike and Strong Bad both quote the 1986 basketball film ''[[Wikipedia:Hoosiers|Hoosiers]]'' when talking about Cedar Knob. The picket fence is used in this movie.

Original Bubs

Branewashed — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 02:57:31 GMT

Branewashed:

[[Image:Originalbubs.PNG|200px|thumb|Nice eyesight there, Original Bubs.]]
[[Image:Oboriginalbubs.png|thumb|left|200px|Original Original Bubses]]

'''Original Bubs''', [[History according to Strong Bad|according to Strong Bad]], is [[Bubs]] as portrayed by the original actor. He bears only a passing resemblance to the current Bubs, and his design is based on a [[HR:sketch11.html|preliminary drawing of Bubs]] as seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook from the Museum]]. His voice is somewhat like the current Bubs, but deeper and less gravely. His mouth, instead of shaking, opens in the corners as he talks. His feet are like those of the current Bubs, but much smaller and make hip-hop sounds when he walks. He also lacks the green "jiggle-belt" that Bubs has. He apparently has very good eyesight.

[[Strong Bad]] tells his tale in [[original]], saying that Original Bubs quit after [[The King of Town]] somehow ate the mayo off of his egg salad. The other characters initially pretended he was still there by repeating what he allegedly said and indicating that he was behind large boxes. Eventually, he was replaced by "guest" Bubses: some of them actors ([[Crack Stuntman]] and [[Senor Cardgage]]), one of them [[Onion Bubs|an onion with Bubs' face drawn on it]], and finally by the current Bubs.

Bubs denies this story and violently threatens Strong Bad to recant it. [[Marzipan]] also indicates that Strong Bad made it up.

Original Bubs is always referred to as "Original Bubs", even in flashbacks.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm intrigued by these...how you say...emails.

''{Reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hi strong bad! 
I wanted to know what your craziest 
cartoon would be like. Please make a 
CRAZY cartoon. 
 
Your awesome friend monkeydude</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, I'm not your friend, monkey dude. In fact, I'm not even gonna call you monkeydude ''{he types "******" instead of "monkeydude"}'' again. I'ma call you Josh. ''{pause}'' So, a kah-razy cartoon huh, Josh? Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like...

''{Cut to a weird cartoon landscape, where a cartoon logo appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sweet Cuppin' Cakes! The main character would look like a mix between a cow and a helicopter.

''{Sherlock flies in accompanied by helicopter noise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And his talking would be just these weird sounds, and no words.

''{Sherlock makes incoherent mumbling sounds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And all the episodes would be about him trying to get a little worm out of the ground.

''{A hole in the ground opens up and a worm peeks out. Sherlock lands on top of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! Oh! And at least once an episode, Eh! Steve! would show up to deliver his catchphrase!

''{Eh! Steve! drops down from the top of the screen}''

'''EH! STEVE!:''' Eh! Steve!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And Bubs would definitely be the voice of the wheelchair.

''{Eh! Steve runs off and a badly drawn wheelchair pulls up}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' I'll get you Eh! Steve, if it's the last thing I dooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd be in there too, but my head would be an old keyboard, and when I get mad, it'd play the demo.

''{Strong Bad with a keyboard head starts dancing around while the demo plays. Sherlock starts dancing along, and Eh! Steve! runs past, pursued by the wheelchair. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's a pretty crazy cartoon huh, Josh? But I'm not much of an animator. Though I bet The Cheat makes some crazy cartoons. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Just right.

''{Cut to'' {{The Cheat's crazy cartoon transcript}} ''"Click here to e-mail Strong Bad" is written in badly-formed letters.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can click on Eh! Steve! on The Cheat's screen to see him again.
:''{Eh! Steve! drops in and stands in front of the scene.}''
:'''EH! STEVE!:''' Eh! Steve!
:''{Eh! Steve jumps upwards and leaves the scene.}''
*Also at the end you can click on The Cheat's CD-ROM drive to [[Miscellaneous Downloads|get some]] Sweet Cuppin' Cakes [[HR:sccicons.html|buddy icons]].

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first appearance of the main cast of [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].

===Goofs===
*The shading on Sherlock's back legs disappears when his mouth stops moving.
*When Strong Bad first appears in Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, before he starts dancing, his legs are in front of his body.
*The sky in The Cheat's cartoon protrudes outside the computer's screen after Coach Z gives The Cheat a trophy.

=== Inside References ===
*Strong Bad saying that The Cheat's cartoon "didn't even deserve a [[pizza]]" is a reference to [[Everybody to the Limit]], where Strong Bad (impressed with The Cheat's cartoon) said he'd buy him a pizza.
*A number of items emerge from [[hammerspace]].

===Real-World References===
*The demo that is played by Keyboard Strong Bad is the actual demo from a [http://www.synthmuseum.com/casio/casvltone01.html Casio VL-Tone keyboard]. The tune is known as "Unterlanders Heimweh" (which means "Homesickness of the Lowlander" in German), and for many years, was the only song used in Casio keyboard one-button-select demos.
**This song would later be the inspiration for the "Cheat Cakes" song in the Easter egg for [[stupid stuff]].
*The [[Flash]] interface is shown here when The Cheat is working on his cartoon.
*The idea of Sherlock spending all of his time trying to catch a worm might be a throwback to the [[Wikipedia:U.S. Acres|"U.S. Acres"]] segment of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Garfield and Friends|''Garfield and Friends'']]. In it, one of the running gags involved Booker the chick trying to catch a worm that always seemed to be smarter than he was.
*The surreal nature of ''Sweet Cuppin' Cakes'' may be a reference to the 1938 Warner Brothers short [[Wikipedia:Porky in Wackyland|''Porky in Wackyland'']], which is also the inspiration for the character [[Wikipedia:Gogo Dodo|Gogo Dodo]] from [[Wikipedia:Tiny Toon Adventures|''Tiny Toon Adventures'']].

===Fast Forward===
*The clouds in the Powered By The Cheat cartoon are reused in [[mile]].
*The phrase "I can do it, I will do it [[nine times]]" is said again in the email [[virus]] by [[The Ugly One]], albeit slightly misquoted. Also in the email [[fan club]], Strong Sad appears as "Twelve-Times-a-Day Man" with the slogan, "I can do it! I can do it twelve times!"
*The pizza trophy mentioned at the end appears in the music video [[Trudgemank]].

== DVD Version ==
*The buddy icons Easter egg is disabled for obvious reasons.
*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:''' Hi, I'm Mike.

'''MATT:''' Hi, my name's Matt C.

'''MIKE:''' We're gonna make the commentary on this Strong Bad e-mail... ''{pause}'' Is, uh... I don't know what I'm talking about.

'''MATT:''' Monkeydude, uh, you're thinking of Monkey D.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, okay, Monkey D came from, was those post—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' It was first—

'''MIKE:''' cards, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was from the postcards and those just, we just made it up.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' And then, this guy's name is Monkey''dude'', which could also be construed as Monkey D. See?

'''MIKE:''' 'S true.

'''MATT:''' So, what else? There was—we had some other names, I remember, there was Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, and there was like some kinda Grandma—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think it was Grandma, Grandma's Soup or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That guy's name is Sherlock.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckling}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cow-copter, his real name is Sherlock, but it's never been revealed other than the files on our computer saved as "Sherlock".

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And, of course, Eh! Steve came from a doodle on a, during—we were having a meeting, and I doodled him on a paper—

'''MIKE:''' And the wheelchair, Matt just, like, as a joke, just drew this wheelchair real fast and was like, ''{false excited}'' "Mike, I got the wheelchair done." And I was like, ''{false serious}'' I was all like, "We should keep it just like that."

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And of course, that's the Casio VL tone, which, um, we have right here.

'''MIKE:''' Where is it? It's right there, we're holding it in our hands, but you probably can't—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Listen, Mitch, could you—There's no batteries in it, so but this is—

''{sound of fingers across the plastic keys}''

'''MIKE:''' This is what it sounds like when you hit it against Matt's head.

''{four light taps}''

'''MATT:''' You hear that? That's the—That's it, I swear. Um...

'''MIKE:''' And here's my chance to, uh, shine here in a second.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike does—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' As—As I voice The Cheat's bad cartoons.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Here I go. ''{over PbTC Homestar}'' That's me. ''{mumbled, then synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' I can do it! I will do it nine times. ''{mimics sound of PbTC Strong Bad kicking PbTC Homestar in the face three times}''

'''MATT:''' Now Mike, what if ''I'' sat here and just did my voice during my voice—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hey, this is my ''one'' thing! I just wanna double—I gonna, ghe, double my own voices. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' Here The Cheat, have a trophy. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Homestar}'' Here The Cheat, have another trophy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are you really just gonna do that throughout?

'''MIKE:''' Well... I like the pink Coach Z, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the pink Coach Z is great, those clouds are, um, are awesome...

''{pause}''

''{both snicker at PbTC Eh! Steve}''

'''MIKE:''' But the best part is, uh, coming up here. ''{short pause}'' Wait...

'''MATT:''' What are you talking about?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no, it's the [[mile]] one, with the parade...?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I was thinkin—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' We'll do that one later.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Can I still talk about the parade?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I like the Poopsmith cleaning up there at the end of the parade.

'''MATT:''' ''{hurried stuttering}'' wel—no—I—bu—

Talk:Bug In Mouth Disease

Branewashed — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 01:10:02 GMT

Branewashed: /* Who shot Caleb? */

{{featuredarticle}}
== Lollipop? ==
I believe they're more properly called ice cream bars. This might be an American name though, but for context it may be more approperate. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 17:53, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

: That's what I was thinking too.. --[[User:Mick|Mick]] 18:00, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
: They're being referenced as both lollipops and popsicles, and it's neither. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 18:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

I've always known them as "Fudgesicles", although that is a registered trademark of Good Humor. Note that, whatever you call them, they are not lolliops. A lollipop is made of hard candy, not frozen chocolate pudding. However, a quick google search reveals that there really is such a thing as chocolate lollipops, though these are also significantly different from other lollipops. Tootsie also makes a chocolate flavored tootsie roll pop(which already has a chocolate center).

The "pops" in question are almost definitely fudgesicles, as they are revealed to be brown to the core, not vanilla with a chocolate coating, as ice cream bars are. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 18:08, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

: I saw part of this discussion before changing them to "ice cream bars" - it's certainly a lot more correct than "lollipop" or "popsicle." --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 18:27, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

We just call them chocolate fudge bars in school, because now that I think about it a ice cream bar is more like ice cream on a stick with chocolate coating. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 22:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC) 

: I still say they're Fudgesicles, or Chocolate Pudding Pops if you like.

They CAN'T be chocolate lolipos. Those arn't "scientificly possible"

You've got a point!

I ''have'' had a chocolate-flavored lollipop before. Didn't taste very good, though. -[[User:67.22.197.57|67.22.197.57]]

:I "have" too. It was a Dumm-Dumm. I agree with the Fudgesicles theorey. -[[User:72.172.198.130|72.172.198.130]] [[User talk:72.172.198.130|(Talk)]]

I think it's most accurate to call them Pudding Pops, because that is what Strong Bad called them in Weird Dream. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 00:42, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Various notes==
You know the table where Homestar is seen on the T.V.? Well, I'm guessing that's Cheat Commandos...O's table in the toon. When the King of Town is talking about an unnamed person, he;s talking about the Poopsmith. Bubs burning "Exhibit A" is a reference to Strong Bad E-mail lackey, as it showed that Bubs might have done some illegal things.--[[User:THE TOAD|THE TOAD]]
:I'm not sure about the first. It might be a valid point, I dunno. Of course the King is referring to the Poopsmith, but I don't think that needs to be mentioned on the page. And the "Exhibit A" burning and the Dorauxgard confrontation in lackey don't reference each other - they're just similar jokes about the same concept. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 23:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Sad? ==

Anyone else think Strong Sad acts out of character in this toon? I mean he normally doesn't act like someone who'd care too much about underwear.

*I don't understand how you can not care if someone individually priced and auctioned off your underwear. As far as being attached to a specific pair of underdrawers, Strong Sad seems to have uncommonly strong feelings about inanimate objects. For instance they way he likes "board games more than most people" in his [[Strong_Sad#Character_Video_Transcript|character video]].

:Either way it's weird seeing Dumpy not-naked. He and The Cheat have it going on for nudity. ^_^

== Inside references ==

It seems unlikely to me that the "Bug Swallow! BUG SWALLOW!" bit is a reference to "Rose face! ROSE FACE!" as "Rose Face!" is very likely a reference to "Rosebud!" from ''Citizen Kane.'' The connection seems tenuous at best - there are probably a good number of similar exclamations on HSR. I would vote that it be removed.
* I know! I wish people would stop attempting to add it! Someone even tried to make a PAGE dedicated to this tenuous connection! --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:02, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't call "the most quackinest" a specific reference to either the character page or Shake Your Rump: double superlatives are common in hip hop (another example off the top of my head: "You win our award for most stinkiest," Del, If You Must).

It's actually "You get our vote for most stinkiest", but I have to admit that Shake Your Rump is what came to mind when I heard "Most quackinest"

== Movie Reference? ==

Does anyone else think that the reference to "Dr Bubs" as a fashion consultant is a reference to the movie "Hitch," in which Will Smith plays the "Date Doctor" Alex Hitchens?

Not at all. I guess you could say that calling Bubs a paranormal investigator would be a reference to the movie series Ghost Busters, but I would say that both examples are tenuous at best and could not be considered a "fun fact" - [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:12, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== To back up the sticky-side goof ==

I'm unable to save images as PNGs, so I uploaded my proof to Photobucket, in case anybody feels a need to see it: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/danedagenais/badtape.bmp The far side should be sticky] [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:16, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

* I was thinking... could it be intentional? [[User:Sunbun|~sunbun]] 5/12/2005 12:40 GMT

*Not sure, as the tape is correct (save for the lack of a fifth stripe) once he turns his head to the viewers. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:46, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== Dr. Bubs ==

Who keeps deleting my comment about the inside reference between Bubs' business card and [[CGNU]] TV/VCR Repair??? This connection is just as relevant and clear as the connection to [[12:00]].
--[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 01:41, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
: It's on the [[STUFF]] page right now. If it's STUFFed, it's off-limits until the voting ends. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 01:42, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Ah! I didn't know, if only you would mention that in your edit summary I would be able to pinpoint that. Well I guess I'll go vote on it then. --[[User:Rgb9000|Rgb9000]] 01:14, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
: Sorry, it's part of my new sysoply power - I can revert single edits REALLY EASILY but it auto-fills the edit summary for me. I could do it the old-fashioned way (which is the way non-sysops have to go) but it'd take longer. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 01:17, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== SNES ==

When Strong Bad says "Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV." you can clearly see a north american super nes in the TV.
I don't know if that would be a real-world reference or not, thought I might mention it.

EDIT: ok, I take back "clearly"

--qtip
: I see it too, and I must wonder why people keep removing it... --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 16:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Blue And-1s? ==

Could be a reference to the popular sneakers 'And 1s'. Especially the way Strong Sad intonates the phrase.
: I doubt it. He's saying he's going to do a search for "blue and ones", instead of just "blue ones". --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 03:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Theme Music ==

That is the coolest music I've ever heard! It seems to be some sort of Casio instrument with a rythym accompanyment in the background...but what instrument? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 21:59, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

it sounds a little like a kazoo to me. [[User:Kefti islander|Kefti islander]] 00:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== The good times are over! ==

It's just an idea but could this sentence be (or rather the fact that Homestar keeps repeating it even if the bug swallowing doesn't have anything to do with it) a reference to the "the brothers chaps are losing their touch" kind of comments that almost every toon or E-mail provokes in some fans?

I thought it was just his way of saying "I'm going to die!"

Or maybe he thought he'd have no more fun.

"The Good Times are Over" is a cliched phrase from whenever someone is on a deathbed at an early age, meaning that their times of running around and having fun. It is rarely used to demonstrate a lack of quality.

== Homestar killed Caleb ==

Why the heck did Homestar kill Caleb? Was he hired to?
:It's a joke, dude. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 23:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

== Bubs the Ripper ==

Does anyone have any clue how Bubs got his hands on Exhibits A and B (possibly the pancreas)? I'm fearing a homicide reference here. Is it even a pancreas? And what court is there in Free Country USA to convict him, anyhow?

No way! That's definetly not a REAL pancreas!

Oh MY GOD! BUBS IS A MURDERER!!!! he must have gotten the pancreas from homeschool winner. he probably killed him. I wouldn't put it past him
-[[User:71.212.93.135|71.212.93.135]] 00:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)that_freakin_marshmallow

== The remote ==

I just know I saw that remote somewhere before. Isn't it the remote from the old toon menu? You know, when Sbemail, TGS and Marzipan's answering machine weren't buttons yet. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 20:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, it is. But it's not really a reference, is it? -Walking Armless

== A few proposed transcript revisions ==

* When Bubs is looking in Homestar's mouth, I don't hear "Curious, yes." I only hear "Yes, yes," said with some kind of an accent - like "Yeyes, yes." Is it just me?
* When Bubs is looking in Homestar's mouth, Homestar's "gurglings" sound like he's trying to repeat what Bubs just said - if I were to transcribe it, "Ogey," "Aa-ahh ahh," "Ingoein." Worth mentioning?
* I don't know how anyone got "A-na-ma" in Strong Bad's line "A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkle." Isn't it just a regular ol' "Ah-ah-ah-ah" (four syllables) type scolding, no extraneous consonants?

Yeah, I'm not a "bold" editor. :-P

I've listened to this cartoon several times, and I'm almost certain that the TV announcer does not say "Find out ''whom'' shot Caleb," as stated in the transcript, but rather says the grammatically correct "''who'' shot Caleb" with a strong emphasis on the word "who" which may have caused some to hear an "m" at the end. I realize a Fun Fact about this has already been STUFF'd and accepted; I'm bothering to bring it up because it seems those who voted on this Fun Fact didn't vote based on the accuracy of the fact but rather voted on its merits assuming it was accurate. I thought I would at least see if others hear this line the way I do. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 00:48, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
:I know this post is pretty old, but I thought I'd second and revive it. My interest was just attracted to this page, and when I checked up on the "who(m)" fact I thought, "Oh great, another hearing question, but I'm not convinced that's 'whom'." Thoughts? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
::After listening to the narration there about twenty times, I believe it is not absolutely distinguishable as either "who" OR "whom"; therefore the presumption should be that it is the correct "who". So I support revisiting this as well. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
:::After listening ''UPWARDS'' times to the annoncers line, I definatly heard "Whom". --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
:::You know, it sounds more like "whom" to me as well now. Maybe my ears are going with old age. Or, just maybe... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

dont worry, i fixed the mistake, the transcript says "who" like the announcer said instead of "whom" which he clearly did not say
:I have reverted, it's definitely "whom", and the consensus here is "whom" also. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::For years, I've been hearing him say "whom". What does it sound like he says in the DVD version? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 02:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm glad you brought that up. This one has always bugged me, and the DVD version makes it pretty clear that it's "Who". Have a sound file. (see above) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:OK this has come back again. It was at "who" for quite some time, then someone decided to change it back to "whom". I really don't understand how anyone can here an "m" at the end of this word, especially in Opti's clip. And really, with no consensus in this thread (I'm willing to completely discount the old STUFF discussion because it had nothing to do with the transcrpt, but only the merits of the fact), we shouldn't be attributing grammatical errors to TBC, even as a joke (especially since this joke is not funny). "Who" is by far the simpler solution to this question. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:45, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah, I was the one who changed it. I should've checked the discussion first. After listening to it several times more, and listening to the provided clip, and reading over what's been said here, I'm fairly certain that it was in fact "who" and not "whom."

==Closed STUFF==
===Elijah Wood (DECLINED)===
A [http://images.google.com/images?&q=blue+ones search for "blue ones"] at images.google.com displays a picture of Elijah Wood (among other things).
*'''Accept.''' I don't know why (maybe it's the goofy picture), but I find this very funny. And I think it's relevant enough to Strong Sad's online search to merit inclusion under either the Trivia or Remarks section. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:09, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

* Sigh, you people just don't get it, do you. FUN. FACT. This is the only fact I've seen in a while that really fits that term. And what don't you get about it? Isn't it SLIGHTLY coincidential that Strong Sad said that he searched for the blue ones and found something kind od disturbing (he didn't exactly say it, but you know that's what he meant.)? I think this would be perfect for a Fun Fact...for now. If this gets taken off google then the Fun Fact should be dropped (even changing it to say "at one point" would make it lose its luster.)

*'''Decline''' All other arguments aside, this fun fact doesn't work because it's temporary. Eventually, some other (more search-relevant) pictures will replace the Ellijah Wood photo and this won’t make sense. [[User:Lucres|Lucres]] 01:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
**Indeed. '''Second'''. --[[User:GregHosting|GregHosting]] 05:43, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Revise and Accept''' They never actually say that Strong Sad searched Google, but I think it can be safely inferred, in which case I think this is one awesomely fun fact. I think it's also safe to assume that TBC did the search and knew what it was that they were indirectly referencing... and even if they didn't, I think it's worth recording, since future fans will likely be curious as to what was on the other side of the "blue ones" search when the toon was released. It should be revised, however, to say "At the approximate time that the toon was released..." since the search result is almost certain to change relatively soon. - Dingell
**'''Second''' {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
**But that doesn't prove they were talking about the Elijah Wood image. And curious future users? Who cares? What, we're going to list everything an image search for "Blue Ones" will bring up? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***I think it's a funny coincidence. I don't think TBC had it in mind, but it's an interesting observation. It should at least be put on the discussion page of Bug In Mouth Disease for people to see. And as said before, that picture won't always come up on a google image search for "blue ones", so it should be edited to "At the time this toon first came out..." --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**** But WHY would the Elijah Wood pic have to be singled out? Nobody has given one good reason as to why beyond "its interesting". Thats not a reason, thats an opinion. This fact has no place on the wiki. If people are curious, let them do their own image search. Or better yet, just post a link to google's results for "blue ones" and we can be done with this damned fun fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*****I have *yet* to figure out why this is so fascinating to people. If you page through the results, there's a picture of girls in bikinis. Personally, I think that's *far* more interesting, but I ain't writin' a fun fact about it! Maybe there's some kinda Frodo-voodoo thang goin' on here. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:04, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
******It's fascinating because many people like "strange but true" facts, especially considering (A) you wouldn't expect to find the picture using that particular search, (B) it's almost the very first result, (C) Elijah Wood is well known, and (D) the picture is kinda creepy. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:48, 12 May 2005 (UTC) — ''P.S.'' That bikini picture wasn't nearly worth the effort to find it. What a tease.
*******However, a picture of girls in bikinis would be better attributed to fact that Strong Sad got "nothing pleasant" [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 19:39, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' The picture in question could be uploaded to the wiki. Then, it wouldn't matter whether the original eventually wasn't on the first page of Google's results, because we could just link to our copy.
**No! NO! Stop it! Back off! Back the F*** off! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COMES UP ON THE "BLUE ONES" GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT ELIJAH WOOD. Whats worse, if you do image searches at Lycos.com or Altavista.com the Frodo pic? Doesn't come up. Sorry, "being sort of weird" doesn't entitle the fact to be placed on the Wiki. And NOBODY has answered my question for why this is relevent to the toon other than "It came up with the google search".[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***Why are you yelling? The last I checked, the declines outnumber the accepts nearly 2 to 1; there's no real danger that this fact will make it to the page. Even if the opposite were true, we can still discuss these matters civilly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
***To speak to your specific question, somebody out there (not me) wondered what Strong Sad would have found (if Strong Sad were real) when he searched for "blue ones". The Elijah Wood picture was what he or she found and, being sufficiently strange, qualified as "nothing pleasant" to this unknown originator and to at least a few of us as well. It's a tenuous link, perhaps, but that's what STUFF is for. That's why I put my version ''here'' first, not on the page itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
****Because its annoying listening to acceptors accepting this fact based on "its kinda weird". The "nothing pleasent anyway" is meant to be a generic statement. They most likely didn't have anything in mind when they made it. There are other fun facts where the declines are overwhealming and people are still being rude.

*'''Decline''' It's just like saying "Googling the word 'virus' will bring up a picture of Tim Allen." It's extremely irrelevant. But it's still good for people to argue over. [[User:Saargtsson-Bosch,GmbH|S-B,GmbH]]
**The difference is, whereas Strong Bad never searched for "virus", Strong Sad did actually mention using an internet search engine to fine "Blue Ones". Whether that makes this fact relevant I don't know, but it is actually fun. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*** But it still isn't relevent. Like I said, they didn't specify a search engine and the Frodo pic only shows up on Google. I'm not even sure why its interesting at all. "Blue ones" causes Frodo to come up '''because his eyes are blue'''. Its not weird. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*'''Comment''' It's not ''tradition'', it's protecting themselves. (In most areas, dialing 555-anything results in a computer telling you things like the time and weather.)

== Atari? You tell me... ==

http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/4792593/830733

I'm guessing this is the picture you can see when Strong Bad rips his face off of the TV. It says on the main page that it's an Atari, but I can't really tell. I do make out a Gamecube and N64 on the right side though. (I guess we know where their brand loyalties lie.) Can anybody better acquainted with old videogame systems tell me?

The system on the top shelf, far right is clearly a Colecovision. It's black, has a silver label in front, and that's a Coleco controller on top. And remember, they had a Coleco controller in the Space Program email. --[[User:4.249.201.247|4.249.201.247]] 05:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

== The Blue Ones ==

I just did a google image search for the blue ones and got the folowing forst result [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/The_Blue_Ones] the google search is here [http://images.google.com/images?q=the+blue+ones&hl=en&lr=&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title]. You gotta love the irony.

== closed bug ==

I kmow that the thing about the bug not being there when it flew into Homestar's mouth is closed but I'd just like to say that I've always felt that TBC did not make the bug visible to create a feeling of uncertanty or disbilief in the "fact" that a bug flew into Homestar's mouth. I mean, come on, this is homestar we're talking about he does have an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around you (him)" I think we should take the thing about the "invisible bug" off the remarks section.

:Still, it remains that the remark is true. I agree with your interpretetion of why the bug was not visible, but it doesn't discount the fact that it is invisible. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

== Sue Him! ==

Is someone finally trying to sue bubs, and is bubs geting rid of the evidence? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

== Possible inside reference? ==

Is the "EEEEEMAIL" on Bubs' paranormal investagator card a reference to the [[Malloween Commercial]] short? Homestar goes "EEEEE!" with the eyeball at the end, and the business card is kind of creepy, like Halloween. Maybe I'm thinking about this too much. {{User:Steve/sig}} 22:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

why is there two fun fact sections in this page? [[User:68.63.159.4|68.63.159.4]] 15:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

:The first one is for the toon as it was released on the web, and the second one is for additional fun facts relating to the DVD version only. I changed the second heading to a subheading to reflect this. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Google Blue Ones ==

This was correctly reverted from the article, but it's certainly worth noting here. At this writing, a Google Image Search for "the blue ones" in quotes [http://images.google.com/images?q=%22the%20blue%20ones%22] yields as the top hit [[:Image:blue ones.PNG|this image]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== Correct capitalization of title ==

Okay, so this toon is listed in the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] as "Bug in Mouth Disease", but it is listed in the toon itself as "Bug In Mouth Disease" (the difference being the capitalization of "in"). My understanding is that the Toons Menu is the standard we always use for determining the official title for our article. If so, then this page should be moved, and there will be a lot of links to change. However, I wanted to get some consensus on this before I went ahead and did all that. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

==Unethical Quack==
I thought he said "Unethical '''Crack'''". Ok. --[[User:Jangles5150|Jangles5150]] ([[User_talk:Jangles5150|words]]+[[Special:Contributions/Jangles5150|helps]]) 18:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

well, given the situation, "an unethical quack" would make more sense then "on unethical crack", but i thought the same thing when is first heard it

== why ==

why does strong bad call strong sad dairy queen? i like how homestar sang his theme song wrong and calls the king of town santa

==Transcript==

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''VOICE:''' ''{from TV}'' And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''{Strong Bad enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh; sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labeled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{changes channel}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, were you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along. Cue music beat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the [[Theme Song Video|Homestar Runner Theme Song]]}'' Hooomestaaar is running. Along. ''{drifting out of time with the music}'' Hooomestaaa–

''{A record scratches as he suddenly stops and starts coughing/spitting profusely.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm...down. Remember health class. A-hem.

''{Homestar goes down on one knee.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{The music starts up again and cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating ice cream bars.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug!

''{He kneels down in front of the King of Town.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gimme them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the ice cream bars}'' We'll freeze 'im out! ''{quickly eats them}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' Oh-ho-ho, it deliciously didn't work!

''{While saying this, he pokes Pom Pom with the one of the leftover sticks. Pom Pom narrows his eyes at Homestar, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy!

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or...nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh, yeah, "and" go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labeled "EXHIBIT A" with a lighter.}'' 

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in. Bubs drops the lighter and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? I think a bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of his business cards}'' Whadda we got here? Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator... Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside}'' Okay...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "Okay..."}''

'''BUBS:''' Yes, yes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "Yes, yes."}''

'''BUBS:''' Interesting.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "Is it good?"}''

'''BUBS:''' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas.

''{Homestar looks annoyed}''

'''BUBS:''' But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here!

''{Bubs picks up a cooler (brand named 'coola') labeled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

'''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{Homestar looks surprised.}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a skillet in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' Ah-ah-ah! Not today, McDorkle.

''{Homestar leaves and then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

''{Homestar pops up from behind the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad—

''{Strong Bad hits him in the face with his skillet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out ''whom'' shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's ''no'' way I'm missing that one. ''No way.''

''{Fade to black. Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch. The couch is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns and smacks his lips}'' That was a great skillet-nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Cut to the TV, where Strong Bad has duct-taped himself to the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{somewhat muffled}'' Can't...miss...any of...the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You ''what''?! ''{tears his head from the TV}''

''{TV music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dejected}'' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You-ka— w-wha?

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runner... ''{Homestar smiles}'' ...did you shoot Caleb?

''{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing the sunglasses he wore in [[the bet]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You traitor! You shot my favorite TV show! ''(throws the remote at Homestar's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hiccup. ''{the bug flies out of his mouth}'' Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug ''did'' fly in my mouth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh... the good times are ''definitely'' over.

''{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear. Strong Bad opens his mouth in surprise. Homestar looks over, but doesn't look a bit suprised.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The world is saved! I found the blue ooooones!

''{The bug flies across the screen as the toon ends}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Logical connective|Boolean operator]] is a logical conjunction describing the relationship between two assertions ('and' and 'or' being primary examples). Some search engines accept them.
*Using quotes refers to putting a multi-word search term inside of quotation marks. Most search engines will respond by searching for the enclosed phrase as a whole instead of the individual words.
*The [[Wikipedia:pancreas|pancreas]] is a large lobulated organ that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones [[Wikipedia:insulin|insulin]] and [[Wikipedia:glucagon|glucagon]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Bail bondsman|Bail bondsman]] is a person who posts bail in exchange for a fee, usually 10 percent of the total bail.
*A "[[wikipedia:Quackery|quack]]" is an untrained person who pretends to be a physician and dispenses medical advice and treatment.

===Trivia===
*Bubs's [[business cards]] read:
Bubs
Bail Bondsman,
Extraordinaire

pager: 555-7896
beeper: 555-3421

BUBS
PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR

EEEEEMAIL: BUBS@BUBS.BUBS

Bubs
Normal
Investigator

"Not Associated with
Bubs: Paranaormal Investigator!!"

"Dr." Bubs

VCR Repair/Fashion Consultant

*Bubs's [[Characters' Contacts|email address]] here is bubs@bubs.bubs, but it was bubs@homestarrunner.com in [[unused emails]].
*"The good times are over!" has been [[Quote of the Week]] twice, though the second time was for only one day.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad has underwear even though he said he "doesn't really wear clothes" in his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]].
*The telephone numbers on Bubs's business cards have the prefix [[Wikipedia:555 telephone number|555]], which is commonly used for fictional numbers in North American movies and television.
* If the cartoon is played frame-by-frame, it shows that no bug or fly ever enters Homestar's mouth.
* Strong Bad claims to have placed Strong Sad's underwear in an online auction despite the fact that most major online auction sites prohibit selling used underwear. An example is the eBay® [http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/used-clothing.html used clothing policy].
* Part of the [[Caleb Rentpayer]] episode (where Caleb says that Tucksworth "throws like a girl") breaks the show's usual format. Whereas a standard episode would usually have Tucksworth asking Caleb if he did/ate/took something and Caleb defiantly stating "I sure am/did", this portion has Caleb speak first. Of course, he's still mean and insulting to Tucksworth.
*This is the first Big Toon since [[The Reddest Radish]] not to include opening credits.
*When Homestar turns around remembering health class, the shadow of the bushes changes.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad sits on the couch in the first scene, his left eye is slightly mispositioned.
*When Strong Sad turns around in front of the couch after talking about Boolean operators, his leg appears behind [[Remote Control|the remote]] that is on the couch.
*Bubs's "Normal Investigator" card misspells "paranormal" as "paranaormal".
*When Strong Bad is duct taped to the TV, there are five pieces of tape. After he turns around, there are only four.
*In the frame in which Strong Bad's head is turned to the right while looking backwards at Homestar, the grey section is visible on both ends of the tape, but the silver, sticky side is the one which should be showing on the end between Strong Bad's head and the TV.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad is watching a show about [[Shakespeare]].
*Bubs provided VCR repair in the email [[12:00]].
*The scene featuring Homestar running over darkened hills is similar to [[Old Intro 2]].
*"The most quackinest" may be a reference to [[Pom Pom#Character video transcript|Pom Pom's character video]], the page title of which is "The Most Mackinest".
*''[[Caleb Rentpayer]]'' first appeared in [[secret recipes]]. This is the first time the show and Tucksworth have been named.
*Homestar uses the same sunglasses in the email [[the bet]].



*The phrase "why come" was first used in the [[Yearbook Character Page]], where the description for Bubs reads "That's why come he's so fat."
*Strong Bad comments that he made the [[Best/Worst X Ever|best omelette ever]].
* Strong Bad saying "can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?" is an example of [[Gender Confusion]].
* Homestar saying "hiccup" instead of actually hiccuping is another example of [[Fake Sound Effects]].

===Real-World References===
*The title of the toon is based on [[Wikipedia:Foot and mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]], a disease that affects cattle.
*The page title (Don't...kill...bugs.) is a reference to [[wikipedia:Bob & Doug McKenzie|Bob & Doug McKenzie's]] [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001EPF/qid=1103258200/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-4330593-4682322?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 "Great White North" album]. Specifically, it refers to the [http://www.mts.net/~marcz/hosers/elron2.htm "Elron McKenzie"] track, where Doug plays a preacher whose sermon deals with the importance of not killing bugs.
*The "Who shot Caleb?" episode is a reference to the often-parodied [[Wikipedia:Who shot J.R.?|shooting]] of [[Wikipedia:J.R. Ewing|J.R. Ewing]] on [[wikipedia:Dallas (TV series)|Dallas]].
*Homestar overreacting over swallowing a bug is similar to a [[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]] episode, in which [[Wikipedia:George Costanza|George]] did the same thing.
*When Strong Sad says, "I even did an image search..." he is referring to web sites (such as [[Wikipedia:Google Image Search|Google Image Search]]) which feature search engines that allow searching for pictures instead of web pages.
[[Image:Labeled CRP Background.PNG|thumb|The screen for "Who Shot Caleb?", with video games labeled.]]
*When Strong Bad removes his head from the TV, on the left side of the screen a [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|Super Nintendo]] is visible, which was a popular video game system in the early and mid-1990s. If Strong Bad is removed via flash decompiler, a black [[Nintendo#Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] is also visible. Some [[Nintendo#Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]] game cartridges can also be seen.
**An [[Wikipedia:Atari 2600|Atari 2600]] can be made out on the right side as well as an [[Wikipedia:NES 2|NES 2]] above the Super Nintendo, and what may be a [[Wikipedia:PlayStation|PlayStation]] below it. In the shadow underneath (and slightly to the left of) the Nintendo 64 cartridges may be the system itself.
**The NES cartridge in the NES 2 is ''[[Wikipedia:Kirby's Adventure|Kirby's Adventure]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Dairy Queen|Dairy Queen]] is a restaurant [http://www.dairyqueen.com chain] that was founded in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois. It is best known for its line of "soft-serve" ice cream products.
*The colors on the TV at the beginning of the toon are based on the [[Wikipedia:SMPTE color bars|SMPTE color bars]], a [[Wikipedia:Test card|test pattern]] commonly used by television broadcast stations when nothing is on the air.

===Fast Forward===

*Bugs fly out of Homestar's mouth again in [[hygiene]].
*Strong Bad's line "No way." is used again in an error message on [[SBCG4AP]]

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

'''MATT:''' I'm going to try extra hard to use good diction and proper grammar during this commentary, Mike Chapman.

'''MIKE:''' You're off to a very good start, brother Matt.

'''MATT:''' Thank you.

'''MIKE:''' That guy on the TV didn't have good grammar now, did he?

'''MATT:''' No. ''{word is obscured by his laughing}'' Hey, this sort of relates to later on when we referred to Strong Sad's soft-serve flip. Do you think that's why he wanted to be called "Dairy Queen" temporarily?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah! ''{chuckling}'' Maybe, maybe! His head looks like a... Dairy Queen ice cream cone!

'''MATT:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Umm...

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' In the land of Dairy Queen,

'''BOTH:''' ''{singing}'' we treat you right!

'''MATT:''' Remember those commercials that used to have the land of Dairy Queen in them? It was like a chocolate...

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' Yeah, a chocolate river with, like, a fudge canyon? ''{pause}'' So Caleb Rentpayer is a very good show!

'''MATT:''' I think so! I would like to see a full episode of Caleb Rentpayer and Tucksworth, his butler. So, did— Caleb somehow come into a lot of money, and that's why he suddenly has this butler?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe. You know what I'm just now thinking; I recently saw the movie ''Arthur'' again for the first time in twenty years, and it's sort of similar. Arthur is just kind of this, you know...

'''MATT:''' Vagabond?

'''MIKE:''' Well he's got all this money, but he's not, you know, he's got a butler, but he's not very nice to him—

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' And um... sort of, he's not quite as... disrespectful to his butler as— as Caleb— as Caleb is, ''{Matt laughs}'' but the but— the butler's always kind of trying to cover his tracks—

'''MATT:''' Oh, okay.

'''MIKE:''' ...and, anyway...

'''MATT:''' Poor Tucksworth.

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

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Is that the only time that Homestar refers to the King of Town as... Santa Claus? Doesn't he call him Father Christmas, maybe, another time?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhm...

'''MATT:''' Or did we just discuss doing one or the other of those when we made this cartoon?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think— I don't know; I think that's the only time, Matt.

'''MATT:''' I think it was a toss-up between Father Christmas and Santa.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Aww.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Caleb, I'd like to see you throw that suitcase!

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I remember taking a class on HTML in college and they— they talked all about Boolean operators and how to search for things on the internet using Infoseek or Altavista.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Altavista! Hotbot?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' I remember—

'''MATT:''' Blue AND ones, NOT red AND ones! I think you could do "not", as well, couldn't you? ''{laughs}'' "This is just fine", Mike!

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

'''MATT:''' It's the— we all know that Bubs, you know, just wants to rip you off and take your money but this is the first sort of criminal, uh, element that we've seen, or criminal...

'''MIKE:''' I think we... I think there's a misspelling somewhere.

'''MATT:''' Is there? Consul-tant?

'''MIKE:''' Nah, I think we missed it. The wiki told me. ''{laughs}'' Maybe we corrected it already.

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating Homestar's line}'' You got it?

'''BOTH:''' ''{laugh}''

'''MATT:''' That's some good mumbles! I remem— I record— I usually try, if the character is doing something like that, like talking with his mouth open, then I try to do the lines with my mouth open, obviously, and there's other times where Strong Bad's like— ooh! later on in this cartoon! when he's got his face up against the TV...

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' He's duct-taped his head to the TV, where I, like, mashed my face into a book, I think, and then miked it so I'd be like, "woarh, woarh!", trying to make it as authentic as possible. Want to experience what the characters are experiencing.

'''MIKE:''' We call that, umm... character acting?

'''MATT:''' Method acting?

'''MIKE:''' Method acting!

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{responding to Strong Bad's "Can't you see grandma's watching her stories?"}'' Uhh, she is.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Things get serious in this episode of Caleb Rentpayer. Who shot Caleb, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I think I know.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Remember that— there was some game you played on your fingers about who shot J.R.? Like it was this thing that was like, "Who shot J.R.?" and then you, like, made your pinky go away. Then you said, "Who shot J.R.?" and then your ring finger went away. And then it ended up making a gun, and— and you said, "It was me!" ''{makes a sound of a shot}'' I remember, uh... Brandon, that lived in the cul-de-sac behind ours doing that. To me.

'''MIKE:''' Sounds hilarious!

'''MATT:''' It was great! And he had a dog named Dude.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' He did. And I thought it was "dood" as in, "doody".

'''MATT:''' I dooed. I just dooed in the toilet.

'''MIKE:''' I always thought the dog's name was a bad— kind of a bad word.

'''MATT:''' D-O-O-D.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{seeing Homestar on the TV}'' Look, that's our office!

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like the little dotted line that trails from that little guy.

'''MIKE:''' Lemme guess, you made it.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' You did that.

'''MATT:''' I thought you did.

'''MIKE:''' Nah, I think you did.

'''MATT:''' Oh. I'll quit complimenting the things that I made.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I don't like the way the blue ones look and I made those very late in the game, and just wanted the cartoon to be done.

'''MATT:''' It's okay. Bye, everybody!

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Matt!

Wigs

Branewashed — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 15:29:14 GMT

Branewashed: Expanded the introduction. Can someone who's played the game write the explanations for the SBCG4AP episodes?

{{cleanup}}
[[Image:Dirty Wig 1-Up.PNG|thumb|150px|"Look what I found buried in the time box!"]]

'''Wigs''' are fake hair that some characters choose to wear in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. Reasons for wearing them range from creating scary [[Halloween costumes]] to hiding unattractive lumps on one's body. Despite the fact that most characters have no hair, wigs are rarely used to simply hide baldness. The kinds of wigs that appear include 80's wigs, 'fro wigs, vampire wigs, and [[Gross Old Wig|gross and nasty and old wigs]].

==Appearances==
* [[Malloween Commercial]] — The wig of [[Marshie]]'s vampire costume is seen on top of a mannequin in his dressing room.
* Email [[time capsule]] — [[Homestar Runner]] puts a gross old wig in a time box, which [[1-Up]] finds X0 years later.
* Email [[myths & legends]] — One of the seven elemental spirits of [[Strong Badia]] is the fish wearing a 'fro wig.
* [[SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer]] — Both Homestar Runner and [[Strong Bad]] wear blatant 80's wigs.
* [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] — One of the ways [[The Homestar Runner]] tried to hide his craw was to put a wig on it. [[Coach Z|Coach Zee]] complimented him on it.
* [[Homestar Ruiner]]

[[Image:garage.png|thumb|right|220px|Duct Tape fixes everything.]]
:''"Datum Center" redirects here.'' {{for|computers in The Garage shown in [[isp]]|Datum Center Computers}}

'''The Garage''' is a room where many characters do maintenance and creative work on various projects such as fixing [[The VCR|VCRs]] with [[Duct Tape]], editing movies, creating laser lemons, and restoring old Mexican accents with sandpaper. [[Bubs]] is the usual occupant, though [[The Cheat]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Strong Bad]] have also been known to do work there. The garage is also used as a storage area for "eStrong" boxes, and as the Datum Center where Bubs keeps his [[Datum Center Computers|internet servers]]. [[Homestar]] apparently owns a car which he keeps in the garage. The exact location of the garage is unclear. The presence of the [[No Loafing Sign]] suggests that it might be another part of Strong Bad's computer room, though [[The Brothers Chaps]] have dismissed this as being in inconsistency on their part.

Talk:Nicknames

Branewashed — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 12:08:09 GMT

Branewashed:

==Falsely Accused==
Um, some poor soul got WikiTrolled for adding "false" nicknames that were 100% genuine. The problem is that he slightly misattributed them - they weren't in kids' book per se, they were in Strumstar Hammer (the fake version of the original book.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:43, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

:My fault. I searched on [[kids' book]] and didn't see the nicknames, so I assumed it was a troll. I should've searched the names before I accused him. I'll remove him from [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] and clean up all this mess. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

:: Yeah, it's okay. Enough troll edits will make you paranoid, I know. Just hope we didn't offend him. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:37, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

:::I doubt he even knew he was on WikiTroll (or even what WikiTroll is). →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]
:::: I thought he might have been blocked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:49, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Wrestle-name==
Wasn't Homestar referring to Strong Mad when he talked about the 'two-bit wrestleman'? After all, he didn't know that Strong Bad was on Strong Badia's side before he saw him playing badminton. Thus, shouldn't 'two-bit wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Mad nickname, but 'Wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Bad nickname?
:From the transcript of [[army]]:
::''{scene changes to The Stick}''

::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog?

::'''CROWD''': YEAH!
:I think Homestar is talking about Strong Bad and The Cheat here. I don't think Homestar refers to Strong Mad at all in the email. From reading the rest of Homestar's speech, it would seem he is referring to other things that either Strong Bad has done or Strong Bad has.
:So as of right now, the nicknames listed are correct in this respect.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:52, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Meatball Face Butt ==

*Meatball Face Butt (Strong Bad, [[dangeresque 3]])

I removed this because Meatball Face Butt isn't technically attributed by Strong Bad to Homestar. It's given by [[Dangeresque]] to [[Dangeresque Too|Dangeresque]]. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 05:45, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

Also, that was more insult than nickname. [[User:The Big Eye|The Big Eye]] 17:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

== An Ogre ==

*an ogre (Marzipan, [[dreamail]])

Surely this doesn't count as a nickname? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 06:02, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

== One character = another? ==

Does it count when one character (usually Homestar) refers to another character with a third character's name - ie. when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Strong Sad" in [[caper]], or when he calls Strong Bad "Pom Pom" in [[the facts]]? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:59, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)

== Homsar calls himself ==

Should the names that Homsar calls himself really be included? --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 20:41, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
: We counted it when Homestar called himself "Batman", or when Strong Bad called himself Stark Dålig. So why not? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:: But do things like "a song from the sixties" belong there? Those seem more like descriptive phrases than nicknames. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I think a good way to settle this is to move them to a new section on [[Homsar]]'s biography, similar to how with did with [[Coach Z]]'s mispronunced words. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:48, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
== Still haven't done it! ==
Seriously, put " Song from the Sixties with Homsar! --[[User:Trog-Boy90]]

Unless we haven't already done this, we should also make a separate page for [[Senor Cardgage]] portmanteaus. [[User:The Big Eye|The Big Eye]] 17:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

== Stupid baby brother ==

*My stupid baby brother (Strong Bad, [[different town]])

I removed this because of its being a direct description of Strong Sad's person (in Strong Bad's point of view, mind you), not a different name for him, nor is it being used as such. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 01:18, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Already taken care of? ==

Is it just me, or does all of this info already exist on the character pages (also known as...)? Is a completely seperate page necessary to this wiki anyway? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: It's just you :) Seriously, though, you're right that there is overlap, but the a.k.a. sections on character pages also include alternate incarnations (such as Dr. Christmas for Bubs) that aren't nicknames. The nickname page is just kinda fun by itself, I don't know why. [[User:Eric|Eric]] 12:21, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Dapper Swindler==

Do you think that [[The Dapper Swindler]] should also be included here? [[User:84.10.229.242|84.10.229.242]] 09:29, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I was going to say no, because I'm pretty sure it's The Sneak's only nickname, but Balding Man, Visor Robot and others are listed with only one, so... Yeah, I think it should be included (though I'd wait for others to second this before adding it). -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 09:48, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Seconded and added. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:00, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Dangeresque character names- nicknames?==

Okay, let me ask this once and for all, so I can get my confusion cleared up here: can the Dangeresque character names be considered nicknames? --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 04:14, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I would say no because they're characters in movies that Strong Bad made. They're fictional characters, but saying these are nicknames is kind of like calling actors by the names of characters they've played. [[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 06:08, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::I added KILLINGYOUGUY to Strong Mad's section because in the end credits it lists Killingyouguy as Himself.

:::Shouldn't KILLINGYOUGUY be listed for Strong Mad and Strong Sad then? Because the character KILLINGYOUGUY was played by both... characters. Anon

== Low and No ==

Strong Sad calls his brothers 'Low-brow' and 'No-brow' in his latest blog entry to these count as nicknames from Strong Mad and Strong Bad? [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

Sounds logical. If you can figure out which Strong is Low-Brow and which one is No-Brow I'd say go for it.

:Strong Bad's no-brow, because he has no brows... I think. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

::Also, "lowbrow" = "unintellectual"; that fits Strong Mad, I think. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:09, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Yeah but brow also means forehead, Strong Bad could be low brow since he's not exactly 'cultured' and Strong Mad could be no brow since he has no forehead. I'm just throwing this out there as a possibility. [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

== Eh! Greg ==

I think there's some disagreement here. I'm pretty sure that SB's 'Eh! Greg' was him forgetting Eh! Steve's name, not making Eh! Steve adress Prime Time. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

:I took it not as SB forgetting, but agreeing that this creation was very much ''like'' Eh! Steve, but not the same; hence he would need a similar but not-the-same name. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
::But is the name given to his drawing of Eh! Steve or Ready for Prime Time? That's what would determine where the nickname would go. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
:::Ready for Prime Time. You could argue that its name is Eh! Greg, but certainly not Eh! Steve. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:52, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

== Mustachioed Homestar Runner ==

How do we know that the Mustachioed Homestar Runner is nicknamed "Fabrosi" in [[lady...ing]]? Yes, the person who "sent" in the old email was called Fabrosi but just because M.H.R. followed Strong Bad's advice doesn't mean that he sent in the email. I don't see a strong enough link for this one. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
:I agree. Not a strong enough link to link the two. {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 17:19, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
::Hang on! I've just watched it again and changed my mind! Observe:

::'''''STRONG BAD:''' 2nd and 3rd best friends?? What about Fabrosi? What'd you two do to Fabrosi? Eh, whatever. That guy's probably out lady-ing with that '''fake mustache he always wears.''' It's only gonna attract gold-diggers.''

::If M.H.R. is really Homestar Runner, or at least a clone with a fake mustache, then perhaps that's his nickname after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 22:38, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Good point, but I'm still thinking it's not a strong enough link to make this a definitive case. Perhaps if we added ''(debatable)'' to the reference? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

== Splitting In Characters ==
I don't really see the point of splitting nick names by the type of toon they come from. The names themselves aren't really affected by the toon, so to me it seems distracting and stretches the TOC. I liked it when it was just alphabetical. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
:I'll second that. This doesn't look as nice. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Hang on a sec... Why are these being split. (That's what I was going to post, and I see two people are already asking the question.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:57, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>shrug* I was just helping - it looked like a good documentation effort to me, but come to think of it, I agree that it's making things cumbersome. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
::::Really, too many headers is bad. It's fine to split things like this when there's only one thing that needs splitting, like normal fun facts, but when there's this many it just looks bad. And long. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
:::::Everything else is grouped by category. The list itself it serious long and looks ugly random. Actually is looks horrible. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

I have an idea: To organize the nicknames the way IRF is going for, without affecting the formatting too much, why don't we just do it like this?:

*Nickname from big toon (character, toon)
*Nickname2 from big toon (character, toon)
*Nickname3 from big toon (character, toon)
 
*Nickname from SBEmail (character, email)
*Nickname2 from SBEmail (character, email)
*... and so on

This way, you'd have the nicknames grouped together by toon type, but you wouldn't run into the huge TOC like we were before. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 23:24, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

:...because the type of toon doesn't effect the name at all. It'll be easier for someone to find the nickname they're looking for if they're all laid out in a simple, logical order. Like alphabetical. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
:''[Edit conflict]'' I don't see how grouping by toon type is an improvement, because then you've just got a list that's not in alphabetical order. My question is this, why would you need to search for a nickname in the context of what type of toon it is? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
::That's exactly my point! Splitting isn't good unless it splits it in a way that aids the average reader in finding what he's looking for. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
::'''Edit Conflict''': Perhaps someone might look for a list of nicknames being used at a specific toon? Would a separate page ordered in this manner be of any benefit?--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
::If this were the case, they should be looking at that toon's page. The toon pages should have these nicknames in like the "fun facts" section or something. [[User:Awesomermustang|Awesomermustang]] 19:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
:::What about consistency? NOTHING else is listed in alphabetical order. Everything is listed in order of appearance. Menus, filmograhpies, other lists such as [[What_are_you_supposed_to_be]], [[Hanging_Objects]], [[Minor_Alternate_Versions]]...

::::Yes, but these aren't listed entirely in alphabetical order either. They're listed by ''character''. Alphabetical order is just an unobtrusive sub-classification.

I'm switching my position. After looking closely at the article [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Nicknames&oldid=199436 with categories], splitting does add a certain nuance. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:04, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
:Well it seems that Joshua and Dorian Gray are the only 'no' opinions here. I'd like to get some more input here before I spend time only to have some reverted. How about something like this:

'''Big Toons'''
:*Nickname (character, toon)
:*Nickname2 (character, toon)
'''Shorts'''
:*Nickname (character, toon)
:*Nickname2 (character, toon)

{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 13:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

:Better, but I still don't like it. The nicknames are easy to locate and browse through now. All those do is lengthen the page and make it a little bit harder to find individual nicknames, as you don't always know what type of toon the nickname you're looking for came from. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
::Also, no one complained when I did this [[Fourth_Wall_Breaks]] about a week ago. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:48, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Unfortunately we're working with a more complicated "dataset" for lack of a better word. Your [[Fourth_Wall_Breaks]] rearrangement looks great because there is only two sublevels of information to deal with: the toons, and the breaks that happen in each toon. This beast is a little more complicated to tame. You are trying to create three sublevels of information: the character, the toon, and then the nickname for each toon. This adds a level of complexity that is not as pleasing to the eye. So coming up with something that both looks more organized and is simple enough to look at, is tricky, at best. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:14, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

On a New Page...

I'd still like to see a new page that looks something like this:

'''Toon Name'''
:*Nickname (of character x) given by character y
:*Nickname2 (of character x) given by character y
'''Toon Name2'''
:*Nickname (of character x) given by character y
:*Nickname2 (of character x) given by character y

That way we could skim through the toons to see what nicknames were being used throughout that toon. The toons themselves could be ordered chonologically. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:55, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

: This discussion brings to mind a question: Do we have the ability to do more complex scripting in Wiki pages? This seems like an ideal place to create a small relational database, and to create a frontend page that allows users to sort and organize the data however they like. So you'd have a table that contains the character, their nickname, who said it, what toon it was from, and when the toon was released, and the webpage could very easily sort by any one or two of these items. If such scripting is possible, I'd be happy to do it - this sort of thing is what I do for a living. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
::That kind of thing would be nice, but I'm not sure it's possible under our current security settings (and I'm not talking about the recent vandalism, just the way the wiki is set up in general). Changing it would probably require extensive modifications to the code. I didn't really make a case for splitting the nicknames up there, so I will do so now: When you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Nicknames&oldid=199436 split them into categories], you notice that the nicknames the characters use in Marzipan's Answering Machine, for example, are quite similar to each other, and of a completely different style from those in Big Toons. From the standpoint of simply browsing of the article, having them categorized is therefore more interesting than a simple alphabetical list. And, really, when are you going to search for one that alphabetical order would come in handy.

== Marzipan's Answering Machine ==

Invisible Robot Fish, you made two changes I don't understand:

1. You moved Senator Bobblehead to Homestar's section. This is not correct. Apparently you interpreted it as a jab at Homestar, but Strong Bad would not have had Bobblehead handily winning the election if it was supposed to be a Homestar slam. Senator Bobblehead is just the conclusion of the Bob Statesman - Senator Statesbob - Senator Bobblehead corruption; all three are the same character. Can we move it back where it belongs?

2. You deleted the dialog snippets for Mr. Nobody et al. Why? These provide useful context, and it can be argued that they are extensions of the characters' names. What was the harm?

On the other hand, thanks for reverting my Ron Dardman error. It didn't quite click that the name in the parentheses was already understood to be the person speaking, rather than the person aliased; but now I get it. And thanks to KieferSkunk for putting little underbite man in the right place. D'oh!

[[User:Bill|Bill]] 16:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
:I didn't mean to move anything. I apologize. I thoought I put it back in the right spot but I guess not. I was mainly keeping the confirmity of this page. Each item is listed as ''Nickname (person_who_said_it, where_it_appeared)''. I think we all realize that many of these are not ''actually'' nicknames but rather names in which a character is reffered. I don't think its nessesary to put all that explanation into the parenthesis since it's just a list and not a commentary. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

::Point taken, although I think it's helpful to have the context listed ''somewhere''.

== TOC cleanup ==

I'm thinking of changing the nav headers for the individual minor characters to plain-text headers so they don't appear in the table of contents. This would reduce the "Minor Characters" section to six subsections (for each of the universes they belong to) and reduce the overall size of the TOC. I think this would make sense especially since most of those characters have only one or two "nicknames" listed. Any objections? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:28, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

==Homestar's Nicknames==

The Coach Z nicknames are mispronounciations, not nicknames.

== Scope Of This Page ==

I think many of the "nicknames" here are not properly nicknames. Exs:

* Homsar says to Homestar, "You're a real state trooper!" Is this really a nickname? I don't think so. He could have said this to anyone who dropped anything into his bucket.
*sb and ds in [[keep cool]] - these are labels, not nicknames. They are simply identifying marks. Not notable (here), in my opinion.
*'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! That little yellow thing! Wake up! - ''little yellow thing'' is not a nickname, it's a description.
*'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog? - again, ''yellow dog'' is a description, not a nickname.

Oh, how I could go on. Let me propose a few guidelines for discussion.

#A nickname is spoken in almost every case, as is the nature of nicknames.
#A nickname is not simply a description of the individual.
#A nickname is not applicable to another character acting in the same situation.
#A nickname is not simply a phrase one uses to refer to themself or others.
#A nickname IS a moniker applied to a character which is reasonably unique to that character and no other, useful as a direct referrent for the character, and will normally embody some trait or perception of the character.
#A nickname normally takes the form of a proper noun.

So "Duckshirt" and "Graw Mad" are nicknames. "A round mound of gray fatness" and "a crazy man from another country" are not. Thoughts (before I begin pruning in a day or so)? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
: I see where you're coming from, but I'm kinda neutral. There's sort of a gray area where things could be nicknames or could not - see [[big white face]] for some examples (on SB's computer). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

::I'm with you there. One could call one's computer-based moniker for a person a "nickname" - in fact, we're doing it right now. That's why I said "spoken in almost every case". Can you suggest a clarification? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:44, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

::I agree with you, Qermaq. Descriptions like "yellow dog" is '''not''' a nickname, but Graw Mad definitely is. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

:::I'm glad you agree, but can the boundaries be refined any? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok, started going nuts. I eliminated any entries that were clerarly against the above<s>, plus I assumed a nickname would be used as a proper noun (which i should have included above) so those are out too</s>. I was a bit conservative, I think. Before I continue, feel free to present arguments. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Let me further add: some deleted pseudo-nicknames might be notable but not as nicknames. Some are purely descriptions, some are "labels" never spoken as nicknames (like saving a pic of an enemy on your computer with the fileame "dumb idiot"), some are just mispronunciations of the name. At least one is arguably his real name. None of these can be considered "nicknames". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

:What about "My dog(e)"? Are these nicknames? I think it'd be clearly a nickname if Homestar called someone "Dog". But "my dog"? Sounds to me like it's "simply a phrase one uses to refer to themself or others." Opinions? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:37, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I've purged a lot of items based on their not being true nicknames. I feel I was liberal, take that into account; some remaining might not be worthy. This is a start though. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that in Folky Tale, Bubs was refering to someone else when he was talking to homestar on the phone, so "my dog" isnt a nickname for homestar.

== Scope: Narrow it down, or rename the page? ==

Okay, so this page seems to go beyond the scope of nicknames and into the realm of things that people have ever been called (including their [[aliases used in prank calls]]). a few examples in no particular order other than i scrolled down the page and picked out a few:
*Fox's father (Homestar, Date Nite)
*The old captain of the team (Homestar, Homestar Presents: Presents)
*Sugar-face (Homestar, Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2)
*Brother Strong Bad (Homestar, Ever and More!)
*Strong Body (Bubs, disconnected)
*Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt Johnson (Strong Bad, Strong Mad, Bubs, nightlife)
etc. so i ask, should this page have a major fact removal, or a rename? I don't care which, and would even be willing to sort this page if we decide on narrowing the scope. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:A nickname is "a descriptive name added to or replacing the actual name of a person, place, or thing". With that definition in mind, do you still think "Nicknames" doesn't fit the current scope? If "Nicknames" still fits, then we should leave it alone. Otherwise, the name should be changed to avoid having to remove content. "Nicknames and other things people get called" could probably be improved upon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:34, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

== Cleanup tag ==

So, I just added a cleanup tag. My reasoning is basically this: The things listed on the current page stretch the definition of "nickname" far beyond the acceptable limit, in my mind. I know I'm not alone in this thinking, judging from threads by Defender and Michael just above. They both raised similar concerns, but not much seems to have come of it. Some of the discussion has been focused on changing the name of the page rather than cleaning up the content, but I'm not convinced that's the way to go. The threshold of what's included on the page now seems far too loose and broad to be summed up in any tight page name, it seems to me. I would suggest a page focus and content trimming. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.213|132.183.151.213]] 23:17, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

== Marshie? ==

I think it's pretty obvious that Marshie has alot of nicknames,but they don't appear to be listed.I would make perfect sense if we added him to the "Minor Characters" section since he has so many nicknames. {{User:Wasd98/sig}} — 14:56 15 November, 2009 (UTC)

== Proposed cleanup plan ==

Well, if we're ever going to get this cleaned up, we need a better definition of a nickname. I propose the following limitations:

A nickname must:
*If it is written, be either capitalized, in a context in which capitalization is not necessary (everything is lower case), or clearly a name ("dumpus").
*Must be directed at someone by someone. ("hott type" is just some words on a shirt, and so does not count)

It is not a nickname if:
*It is referring to something or someone the Named is formally dressed as and/or playing the part of. (plays, Halloween, movies, etc.)
*It is clearly referring to something that the Named *is*, whether actual or imagined. ("A real state trooper," "young whipper-snapper", etc.)
*It is an unintentional misspelling of a proper name.
*It refers to a representation of the Named (picture, robot, etc.), and not the Named himself. ("no-neck," "dacheese," etc.)
*It is simply meant to be a descriptive phrase.
*It is clearly an alternate proper name for the Named. ("Mr. Umpire," "Pixel Ghost," etc.)

Furthermore, I would suggest that, under each character, there be 3 categories of nicknames:
*Intentional ("Dairy Queen")
*Unintentional ("Tubbs")
*Self-given ("Homestar Bunmaker")

Any thoughts?

Bad Sportsmanship

Branewashed — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 01:53:36 GMT

Branewashed: Link to correct Robot page

[[Image:Bad Sportsmaship TC.png|thumb|200px|Meh!]]
A few times here and again, some of the characters in the [[Homestar Runner Universe]] show '''poor sportsmanship'''. Such can include yelling at other characters, cheating, or other. [[The Cheat]] has shown this by, of course, cheating mostly for [[Strong Bad]]. Although this has occurred often, it's mainly from Strong Bad and The Cheat.

==Appearances==
*[[Original Book]] — Strong Bad insults Homestar and Pom Pom by saying they're not strong. The Cheat unplugs [[The Robot (storybook)|The Robot]] and helps Strong Bad hold his grapes.
*[[A Jumping Jack Contest]] — The Cheat and Strong Mad work together to sabotage the contest in Strong Bad's favor.
*[[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]] — The Cheat knocks Homestar out with a baseball bat, thus letting Strong Bad win the [[King of Town]]'s 100 Mile Superthon.
*[[A Jorb Well Done]] — Pom Pom apparently gets mad and bounces on Strong Sad's stomach at the beginning during their game.
*[[The Reddest Radish]] — Strong Bad, Strong Mad and the Cheat steal [[Marzipan]]'s radish to help him win the contest, as well as fake a message from Homestar, so that Marzipan would not show up for the contest.
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] — Strong Bad insults Homestar and Pom Pom by saying they're not strong. It is implied that Pom Pom [[swears]] due to Homestar's and Strong Bad's reactions. The Cheat unplugs [[The Robot (storybook)|The Robot]] and helps Strong Bad hold his grapes. Homestar Runner gets angry at Pom Pom for not giving him the trophy saying that he "sportsmanshipped" the most.
*Email [[strong badathlon]] — It is said that the games celebrate drug testing and "poor sportsmanship".
*Email [[pet show]] — The Cheat sabotages the other contestants to help Strong Bad win, but is disqualified when Homestar puts relish on Strong Bad's foot.
*Email [[hiding]] — Strong Bad pretends to hide but doesn't to fool Homestar, and then Homestar Runner gets mad when the Robot Strong Bad "sasses back" at him.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — Strong Bad cheats big time during [[The Free Country USA Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race]] by: stiffening the water, putting a balloon (a really powerful one) on the weight, and moving the objects in order from Biggest to smallest so he could finish on time and win.
*[[Baddest of the Bands]] — Strong Bad sabotaged all the other Bands within the "Baddest of the Bands" contest so he could win.
*[[Kick-A-Ball]]— Strong Bad accuses Homestar Runner of cheating. When Homestar Runner's team said, "Good game", Strong Bad's team said in reply, "Yeah right."

Polymascotfoamalate

Branewashed — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 19:01:15 GMT

Branewashed: reorganized all the info, and rephrased some awkward wording

[[Image:Polymascot.PNG|thumb|"Helping America Ingenuitize the Future across the globe!"]]
'''Polymascotfoamalate''' (spelled '''polymascot foamalate''' in the 22 May 2008 [[Quote of the Week]]) is a multipurpose, foam-like material in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. It is used as the material for mascot uniforms (such as [[The Jolly Dumple]]), as baby food, as a topping for Soured Cream, and for "helping America ingenuitize the future across the globe." It is [[Explosions|highly flammable]], being described by [[Coach Z]] as "flame pro-tardant".

In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[4 branches]], [[Rumble Red]] reveals that Polymascotfoamalate does not exist on ''his'' planet. [[The Homestar Runner]] declares that this is because the alien is a [[Wikipedia:Communism|Communist]] fool.

The word Polymascotfoamalate is a [[Portmanteau]] of "[[Wiktionary:poly-|poly-]]", "[[Wikipedia:mascot|mascot]]", "[[Wikipedia:foam|foam]]", and "[[Wikipedia:Ate_(disambiguation)|-ate]]".

==Chemistry==
The chemical notation of the material is <math>(\mbox{Ms}^{\mbox{ct}-})+(\mbox{Fm}^{8+})</math>, a manipulation of chemical symbols to resemble the words "Mascot Foamalate."

The formula <math>(\mbox{Ms}^{\mbox{ct}-})+(\mbox{Fm}^{8+})</math> indicates an [[wikipedia:ionic bond|ionic bond]] between two [[wikipedia:molecular compound|compounds]] which makes a [[wikipedia:formula unit|formula unit]]. The parentheses around the elements make them polyatomic ions (a possible reference to the name). For many reasons, this formula does not define a compound that could possibly exist in the physical universe:
*Ionic bonding only occurs when an element with a positive valence electron and an element with a negative valence electron are combined. The only polyatomic cations are ammonium, mercury(I), pyridnium, pyrylium, sulfonium, uranyl, vanadyl, pervanadyl, dioxygenyl, chromyl, and hydronium.
*The formula also shows that the chemical Ms has a valence electron number of ct, which can't be true because ct isn't a number.
*When denoting valence electrons, the positive or negative sign goes before the number.
*Finally, if this ionic bond was "real", the chemical compound formed would be (Ms)8(Fm)ct, although the suffix -ate in the name suggests that the molecule has four oxygen atoms.

The element Fm appears to be a noble gas, as it has a valence electron of eight. If this chemical bond is correct, Ms would have to be a metal because it is positive, and Fm would have to be a non metal because it is negative.

"Fm" is the chemical symbol for [[Wikipedia:Fermium|fermium]], a radioactive element with a very high atomic weight.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So cool an email. I thought you would enjoy it. Ding dong,
''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
what would you look like as a 
japanese cartoon and what would 
it be about? 
 
-james f.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "f." as "fffffffffff"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A Japanese cartoon, eh, James? I saw one o' thems once. Let's see what I can remember.

''{Cut to a white screen with Strong Bad standing there. As he describes how he would look, the changes are applied}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real, real big eyes. Get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny ''{clean noise that sounds like a harp, or bells, or both}'' ...my boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. ''{robotic 'shooo' noise}'' And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. Then there's my mouth. Real tiny when it's closed; ridiculously huge when it's open. And then you basically just put me in space and let me fly around in cool poses!

''{Stinkoman, the anime Strong Bad, flies around in assorted cool poses. He then lands down in a futuristic anime rendition of the field. Video game music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they'd probably have somebody else do the voices.

''{1-Up, the 20X6 Homestar Runner, walks in}''

'''1-UP:''' Hey Stinkoman! Everybody says you're the guy, but I wanna be the guy too!

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older.

''{Pan Pan, the anime version of Pom Pom designed to look like a panda, bounces in and squashes 1-Up}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{laughing and stomping from one foot to the other, with miniature mushroom clouds appearing around his head}'' Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pan Pan is fat! Ha ha ha ha ha! He fell on you! Ha ha ha ha! He's a good bear!

''{Suddenly, the cartoon transitions into an ink-drawing of the scene. The Stinkoman K theme song starts playing. The lyrics are:}''

<blockquote>Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting the challenge tonight. 
 
Everybody's fighting for the 
Challenge of the fighting and the 
 
Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting the challenge tonight.</blockquote>

''{While the song is playing, the background then changes to a similar sketch of Stinkoman powering up, upon which the credits appear:}

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*Until the domain registration expired, this email could be watched on [http://www.stinkoman.com www.stinkoman.com].
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Strong Bad makes up his own japanese cartoon."

===Remarks===
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad recites a [[Wikipedia:haiku|haiku]], which is very fitting (although in [[Halloween Fairstival]], he claims that he doesn't "know or care what a haiku is"):
:So cool an email
:I thought you would enjoy it
:Ding dong dear Strong Bad
*When Strong Bad is reading the email, the a> is at the bottom of the screen.
*[[The Paper]] does not come down at the end of the email.
*When Homestar is seen from the back in the Easter egg, he is drawn in an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older style]].
*In the TeeBee Easter egg, Stinkoman eventually stops running on the TV, freezing in place, meaning the animation is not actually looped like most of the other animations on the site.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Messed up windows.PNG|thumb|Are those overlapping windows asking for a challenge?]]
*In the scene with Stinkoman and 1-Up, the windows on the second far right building overlap onto the building next to it. This is best seen when zoomed in on the swf file.

===Inside References===
*The name Stinkoman is a reference to [[island]], when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman."
*The first line of Strong Bad's haiku is similar to Strong Bad Email #34, [[weird dream]], in which The Cheat's computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], has an icon labeled "So Cool A Flash," and the image Strong Bad brings up entitled "So Weird a Dream." ''(see also [[#Real-World References|Real-World References]])''
*The two videos next to the NES Endings are "[[Joy of Painting]]" from the [[TV Time Toons Menu]].
*Stinkoman's first cool pose shows him holding a [[Big Knife]].

===Real-World References===
*Stinkoman's overall design and the "cool poses" sequence appear to be based on the [[Wikipedia:Ganbare Goemon|Ganbare Goemon]] video games, also known as ''Legend of the Mystical Ninja''.
*In the third slide of the credits for Stinkoman K, the art is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Vegeta|Vegeta]] from the series [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|''Dragon Ball Z'']] and [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball GT|''Dragon Ball GT'']] in his [[Wikipedia:Super Saiyan|Super Saiyan]] state.
*The credits for Stinkoman K are lifted from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176925/fullcredits ''The Legend of Zelda''] for the NES.
**"H. Yamauchi," "S. Miyahon," "Ten Ten" and "Konchan" refer to [[Wikipedia:Hiroshi Yamauchi|Hiroshi Yamauchi]], [[Wikipedia:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]], [[imdb:nm0854843|Takashi Tezuka]] and [[Wikipedia:Koji Kondo|Koji Kondo]], respectively.
***"Miyahon" is an understandable misreading of the characters 宮本, correctly read "Miyamoto."
*20X6 is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|''Mega Man'']], which is set in 20XX, or the first [[Wikipedia:Metroid|''Metroid'']] game, which is set in 20X5.
*Stinkoman's "robot boots" are similar to the ones that [[Wikipedia:Roll (Mega Man)|Roll]], a female character from the Mega Man games, wears.
*The spaceship strongly resembles one of the [http://starbase.globalpc.net/%7Ebhz/strongbad/images/galaxy5000.gif spaceships] from the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]] game ''Galaxy 5000''.
*The background music and sung credits song is taken from the NES game ''[[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]]'', which was composed by [[Wikipedia:Nobuo Uematsu|Nobuo Uematsu]].
*The first two lines of Strong Bad's haiku are very similar to an infamous subject line used by the [[Wikipedia:Klez|Klez]] email virus, which read "so cool a flash, enjoy it". ''(see also Inside References)''
*[[Wikipedia:Oolong|Oolong]] is a Chinese tea, as well as a character from [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|''Dragon Ball'']].
*The "K" in "Stinko Man K 20X6" is a homage to anime mega-series such as [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]], [[Wikipedia:Gundam|Gundam]], and [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon]], which use letters to separate different series or seasons (e.g., ''Dragon Ball Z'', ''Z Gundam'', ''Sailor Moon R'', etc.)
*The line, "No way, you're just a kid, maybe when you grow older" is a reference to the anime movie ''[[Akira]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Shotaro Kaneda (Akira)|Kaneda]] refuses to let [[Wikipedia:Tetsuo Shima|Tetsuo]] ride his motorbike because he's "just a kid". Also, Stinkoman's voice is similar to [[IMDb:nm0164682|Cam Clarke's]] dub of Kaneda.

===Fast Forward===
*As The Brothers Chaps mention in the commentary below, "[[Glossary#C|combolations]]" would also be given by [[Senor Cardgage]] in [[flashback]].

== DVD Version ==
*The 20X6 and Homestar watching Easter eggs are now opened by different icons. The Strong Bad's head icon on the right side of the Compy 386 screen opens the former, and the one in the lower left corner of the Compy 386 opens the latter.
**Be warned that if you open the Homestar Easter egg, you have to restart the toon in order to see the other one.
*The NES Endings are still accessible, though you have to wait for the Homestar video clip to be finished before you can access them.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' This is CD number one.

'''MIKE:''' Number two.

'''MATT:''' Number three.

'''MIKE:''' And number four.

'''MATT:''' That's from that Flaming Lips four disc thing.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' So this is when we started this email at, like, 10 PM on Sunday night, didn't we?

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

'''MATT:''' And we didn't finish until early... or ''late'' Monday?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' Or early Tuesday.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it was up on Monday.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' But it was definitely later in the day.

'''MATT:''' I remember Matt and Jenna, our friends Matt and Jenna came over and we had just drawn some of these preliminary drawings of Strong Bad as Stinkoman and we showed it to them.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember that.

'''MATT:''' They did! They came over—

'''MIKE:''' I believe you! I'm just saying I don't remember it.

'''MATT:''' Well I don't—

'''MIKE:''' I don't have anything to add to that, uh, line of—

'''MATT:''' I don't know why we did, we probably had a good time for a little while—

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' —and then they left.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' This is another email, nobody likes this email, everybody hates this email.

''{Mike laughs a little.}''

'''MATT:''' You know. There's that ship! Originally we were going to say that ship was The Cheat.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That was going to be, the 20X6 version of The Cheat was that ship.

'''MIKE:''' We should still do that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, maybe—maybe so.

'''MIKE:''' Um... I like Homestar's boots there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, I think we didn't—until we recorded this line, we weren't going to, like, call him Stinkoman, were we? And it was, we were just making that reference, to the old, to the island email.

'''MIKE:''' ''{at the same time, overlapping}'' You've got to remember... right.

'''MATT:''' I love those mushroom things. I love those—the mushroom things—

'''MIKE:''' There's the tear over your head.

'''MATT:''' The tear.

'''MIKE:''' And the snot bubble.

'''MATT:''' There's some other stuff.

'''MIKE:''' So many weird things that happen in—

'''MATT:''' Those mushroom things happen in, uh, Animal Crossing, when they get mad at you.

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

'''MATT:''' Of course, these are all the credits from, uh, the original Legend of Zelda.

'''MIKE:''' Konchan, the sound composer. Does good work.

''{Matt starts singing the Legend of Zelda theme song, then Mike continues it.}''

'''MATT:''' Sorry. Um... so yeah. So the one-two punch of Trogdor and Stinkoman are probably—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, back to back weeks

'''MATT:''' —are probably ''the'' most popular emails. Combolations. ''{laughs a little}''

'''MIKE:''' Later, Senor Cardgage gives combolations to Strong Bad in the 100th email.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The album in particular Matt and Mike reference at the beginning is [[Wikipedia:Zaireeka|Zaireeka]] by [[Wikipedia:The Flaming Lips|The Flaming Lips]]. Zaireeka was a highly experimental album designed to be heard on 4 separate discs played simultaneously. The part of the album they reference happens at the beginning of each track and serves as a way to let the listener know if the discs are synced properly.
*The talk about the Cheatball being a spaceship is likely a reference to the anime [[Wikipedia:Tenchi Muyo!|''Tenchi Muyo'']], where the [[Wikipedia:Cabbit|cabbit]] [[Wikipedia:Ryo-Ohki|Ryo-Ohki]] could transform into a spaceship several hundred times her size.
*In the video game ''[[Wikipedia: Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'', when the villagers get mad, steam clouds come out of their heads, not mushroom clouds like Matt said. When the villagers are laughing, words that mean laughing (such as ha ha) flash around their heads in a way similar to the way that mushroom clouds appear around Stinkoman's head.

== Pan Pan ==

Isn't Pan Pan a reference to the father in Ranma 1/2 who changed into a Panda and held up signs because he could not talk?

:Yeah, since pandas are native to China, and this is a Japanese cartoon, this is most likely a reference to Ranma 1/2

::Or not. There were also pandas in Miyazaki's iconic [[IMDB:tt0069058|Panda kopanda]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
:::I really think it is a Ranma reference. I've never seen Panda Go Panda, but the fact that Pan Pan eats like a person and shows up without explanation in a world of people seems to point clearly to Genma Saotome in Ranma 1/2. I already tried to argue this at the [[Talk:Pan Pan]] section. Somebody back me up or tell me I'm nuts, please! I don't even watch Ranma but this is a dead ringer in my opinion. It ought to be mentioned. [[User:Toastburner|Toastburner]]

:::::::I've watched upwards of four seasons of Ranma, and while I don't really consider myself an expert, I'd have to say that the interaction between Pan Pan and stinkoman reminds me of Genma and Soun.

:::::::::in [[Wikipedia:Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo|an anime called bo-bobo]], by eating rice, ''supposedly'' you turn into a panda, but you are just told to put on a panda suit.XD. {{User:Im a bell/sig}} 20:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I get the feeling the Chaps don't think much of anime, I get the impression that they've only seen very old things, games, & snipets of whatever was on TV 8 years ago, so I would also bet on Ranma, cuz it sure aint from Patalliro.

== Stinko Man? ==

Why is it that in the transciption stinkoman's name has a space in it? (Also, I'll transcribe the lyrics to the 20x6 theme song) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:06, 25 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Probably because the easter egg refers to him as "Stinko Man K 20X6". --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 02:32, 26 Feb 2005 (GMT)

==TeeBee==
Actually, a Japanese person would say テレビ, or "terebi", not Teebee.

Well, yes and no. Terebi is the way that television is said mostly, yet should a japanese person say the us equivalent of "tv" (tee vee) they would say Teebee due to the lack of v in the language.

== Haiku? ==

I really don't think that what Strong Bad says at the beginning of the email should be considered a haiku. Just because there's a line with five syllables followed by a line with seven syllables followed by a line with five syllables doesn't mean it's a haiku. I think that the fact that part of the "haiku" is simply the salutation of the email he receieved really kinda proves that this wasn't their intent.

*But the fact that he just HAPPENED to add in the "ding dong" to make it 5 syllables proves it was their intent.

*Also Haiku has got something to do with Japan and the whole email has got with Japan.

==Sender==
This may be un needed but I actully know the guy who wrote japanese cartoon. He lives near me in Thousand Oaks Ca. (If you look on a map it is 45-50 miles outside of Los Angeles {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 05:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

*Calm yourself, Dasrik. No need for such a rant. Anyway, I say '''Accept.''' And, dasrik, it's not blatingly obvious OR a surpreme stretch.

**I was perfectly calm. Read it again. There are lots of people named Mike and Matt, enough so that this kind of thing could be disputed til the cows come home, or until TBC set the record straight.

*'''Delcine''' While, unlike Dasrik, I am CONFIDENT that the reference was to Mike and Matt Chapman (they made the cartoon!), this is a little too obvious. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 07:08, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' And a comment on what Jay said: If ''I'' had a regular cartoon, there's no way I would ''accidentally'' put my own name in it. So the reference is totally intentional... and obvious. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:20, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Comment.''' Perhaps if a reason as to why they were listed as such was given, this would make a better Fun Fact, yeah? However, here, this is not really an option as, there seems to be no apparent reason why they did that. It would work if maybe, for example, Mike listed his name as Mike-Hai. In the meantime, someone should try and see if maybe that's a reference and then list THAT as a fun fact.---[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]]

===Oolong's Namesake (DECLINED)===
Someone named Oolong Singy is credited for [[Combolations]] in the cartoon, this may be a reference to Oolong the pig from Dragon Ball or [[Wikipedia:Oolong (rabbit)|Oolong the rabbit]], whose owner is Japanese.
*'''Decline.''' I figure the reference is most likely to Oolong, the traditional Chinese tea enjoyed throughout Asia. The characters mentioned here are named after the tea. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 07:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

===So cool an unseen email (DECLINED)===
Strong Bad says "So cool an e-mail, I thought you would enjoy it," as if he has read it before he replied to it. However, in other emails (such as part-time job or your friends) he acts surprised to see the content, as if he has not read it before.
*'''Decline''' I have trouble saying why, but I know there's something wrong with this. Be it that it's part of the haiku, or something else, I don't think this really needs to be stated. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:23, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's singing of lyrics ==

This may be waaaay too far of a stretch, but did Strong Bad's fudging of the fast lyrics in the Stinkoman theme remind anyone else of the song Rubber Biscuit? It was covered by the Blues Brothers, not sure who wrote it originally. I guess I kinda doubt any similarity is intentional, but I though I'd float it.

:Reminded me more of the Batman theme song. "Nana nana nana nana Batman!" {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:55, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

== The theme song ==

Maybe it's just me, but the music/theme song seems like it may be based on that of the first sonic game, on Sega, for emrald hill zone or whatever, but the first stage. It sounds a lot like it to me...
: We already know that it comes from [[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]], not Sonic. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
::I am a die-hard Sonic fan and I know that that song sounds '''''NOTHING''''' like Green Hill Zone. BTW, Emerald Hill Zone is from Sonic 2. I don't mean to sound like either a jerk or a nerd. Visit [[User:Neox|my page]]! Neox

== panpan fat ==

just so you know, stinkoman's fat panpan line translates roughly into this: "hahahahahaha! panpan wa futotta! hahahahaha! kare ni tayoru anata! hahahaha! kare wa yoi no kuma!" {{User:Im a bell/sig}} 20:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

== Legend of the Mystical Ninja ==

While I was watching "AMV Hell 3" (a compilation of funny anime clips set to music or comedy sketches), I found one sequence from ''Legend Of The Mystical Ninja'', where the original anime looks almost EXACTLY like the "Cool poses" sequence in this email. In addition, the character's overall design is nearly identical. You can see what I'm talking about by watching [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aTgINExt2w this video] and paying attention from 13:52 to 14:16 . (Watch the whole thing - it's really funny.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
:BTW, I'm aware that this toon and Stinkoman himself parody many animes and the entire genre as a whole, but I felt this particular element of his design was such a close match as to be particularly noteworthy. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

==Outro Music==

The outro music reminds me of the menu music from Sonic the Hedgehog somewhat. I understand they aren't entirely similar, but it just reminded me of Sonic. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:Actually, the music used in this email is from [[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]] for the NES. Like it says in the fun facts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:11, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== Backdrop. ==

Any guesses on the inspiration from the background? The only one I came up with is non-anime; the Prufock Preparatory School from A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is supposed to look like either tombstones or a series of large grey thumbs.
: I was about to say that I didn't think the SoUE book in question predated this email, but it seems I'm mistaken there. Still, I consider this a coincidence. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

== Are you lines asking for a CHALLENGE?! ==

A note to the lines, they're bigger than the lines around the buildings. Hence why they're overlapping. If the borders on the buildings were the same size, we may not see that problem. But there's nothing we can do about that, now is there. (I believe the building outlines use hairline or similar, and the windows use possible 1.5 - 2.) Just thought I'd take some time to explain it. I can even upload a picture or two experimenting with it. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== I wanna be the ==

Isn't there a reference in this to the extremly hard game, I wanna be the guy, in this?
: No, because this email was around first. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

== That challenge? ==

I've listened to the song a couple times, and I'm pretty sure, nigh positive, that the lyrics are "fighting the challenge," not "fighting that challenge." Does anyone else hear that? {{User:Branewashed/sig}} 17:34, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

{{featuredarticle}}
== Integral Article ==

What is his real name? Because "The Poopsmith" would be just a nick name since he shovels poop everywhere. And so far that i know, his real name has not yet been revealed.

:The Poopsmith is his real name. No ifs, ands, or buts. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:29, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I changed the article to read that it's unclear whether "The Poopsmith" is his name. If it were an actual name, it would be used with an [[Integral Article]], like The Cheat. To my knowledge, there is only one instance of that, the [[King of Town Email]], and I don't even consider it 100% solid. There are lots of instances where he was called "a Poopsmith", etc. If you feel strongly that it is his name, let's hear some arguments. And I'll head off any claims of the "The" being capitalized because it's both inconsistent and meaningless. (See [[Wikipedia:Bruce Springsteen|Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen]].) --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 14:57, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Actually, ever since [[secret identity]], The Poopsmith has been referred to with the Integral Article. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 15:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
::::There are other instances before this, also: in [[the show]] and [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Homestar addresses him to his face as "The Poopsmith". But it's never been as consistent as The Cheat, by any means, since he was also addressed as "Poopsmith" in this era. So I think the best we can say is that the Integral Article has for long been used with him but without any real consistency. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::You've got a point; I didn't notice those instances before. However, I think it can be argued that both of them are not actually vocative case, but simply... explanatory or interjectory. Notice that in Funjob, Homestar later says simply "Poopsmith" when it is definitely vocative. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 18:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Remember, too, there are degrees of articular integrity. Poopy has never been referred to as "a The Poopsmith", ala a The Cheat, but that's acute articular integrity. A more midgrade articular integrity is at play here, with the article recurring but not appearing out of typical placement, and it's nonexistant at times where a The Cheat would have expected it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
:I love your phraseology. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 18:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

== Stickly Man ==

It's been confirmed that Stickly Man is in no way related to the Poopsmith. (See [[Stickly Man]] discussion page.) So why does it keep getting undone when I remove that bit from this page? -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]
:We have no way of knowing if that is true or not, it's not even signed. I do not think we can believe that statement. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 19:13, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::I agree. This could be some guy who doesn't like all the talk about it and is just making up crap![[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== recent toon ==

whats the poopsmith's most recent cartoon, because he hasn't be seen in the recent toons?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 07:21, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*The Poopsmith was last seen in [[TrogdorCon '97]]. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 08:14, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Nevermind. [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 09:17, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== legs ==

What is with the poopsmiths legs? did the brother chaps made him quickly or intentionally?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 09:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

i don't understand. please elaborate. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 15:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I... think he means to be asking if you think the poopsmith was an improvised character and TBC thought his legs wouldn't matter much or if you think TBC made his legs like that on porpose. [[user:haldo]]

== The Poopsmith's Jorb ==

I think I may have found out what The Poopsmith's job actually is or, at the very least, found a job that is amazingly similar to what he does.

During the Middle Ages, there were workers whos job it was to shovel crap out of latrine pits and out of the streets (people threw their crap out the window in those days, a hazard for innocent bystanders!). These workers were called gong farmers.

Now let's see... The Poopsmith shovels crap ''and'' he works in a castle. Am I the only guy who sees a connection here?

Now it could be a coincidence, considering that The Poopsmith was originally introduced as a joke; "They questioned the blacksmith. They questioned the Poopsmith..." but I think that whatever the case, it's worth mentioning. -[[User: Private Martin of the Homestarmy]]

I get what you mean, Private Martin of the Homestarmy. The Poopsmith works in The KOT's castle shoveling ''You-know-what'' and it's a castle. But it was kind of random.No offense.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

If you think about it, it's pretty obvious what The Poopsmith's jorb is. I mean, look at how much food The King of Town eats.... Yeah. There ya go. [PayphoneEd, long forgotten his login details again]

== No voice ==

I think i know why The Poopsmith doesn't talk. Matt didn't want to do him, 'cause he can't come up with a voice. Is this good enough? [[User:RocketMasterZ|RocketMasterZ]] 00:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:It's only speculation, and therefore not material for the article. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
::: Meh... in "Ever and More!" he does NOT sing, he just moves his arms. Therefore, it should NOT be mentioned in the article. no?yeah?no? [[user:haldo]]
::::Oh, and I just re-watched old comics. According to that, the reson the poopsmith dosn't speak because "[commas] had just been discovered and were considered comic gold."

:::::Yeah, in the comic, but now commas aren't really comic gold. Anyway, he did speak in [[email thunder]] (albeit voiced by John Linnel) and in [[defferent town]].--[[User:T3H CH3K7 888|T3H_CH3K7_888]] 18:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== Main Page ==

I remember seeing a main page somewhere with the Poopsmith. However, on the upper right corner it said MUTE. Should this be added to speech, cause his mouth clearly opens when you mouse over the buttons.[[User:Runstar Homer|Runstar Homer]] 22:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
: Sewiously? do you remember which page it was on?? [[user:haldo]]
::The main page you saw was on an unofficial site, and probably made by a fan with the same flash materials as the Chaps. -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 15:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Which John? ==

In email thunder, who provided the voice of the Poopsmith? I was pretty sure it was John Linnell, but apparently someone else thought differently...I can't tell those guys apart very well...[[User:Branewashed|Branewashed]] 14:00, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

:That was me... and I can't tell those guys apart very well either, so... maybe it should be worded non-commitedly until someone can say for sure. If we wait for a bit, I'm sure the TMBG experts over on [http://tmbw.net] will say who they think it is. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 14:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

==Image Change==

I think under the section that talks about the Poopsmith talking, we should have a screenshot of him doing so in [[email thunder]]. Also, we should use that picture of 3d poopsmith from [[3D Character Variations|here]]. I put that up once a time but it got DELETED. Twice. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 14:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Sewiously, every other character has a SBCG4AP pic on their page. How come el poopsmith grande don't? {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 20:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
:He's already got four other images, and a fairly short article. It's a bit excessive. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
::Well, [[Strong Mad]]'s article is fairly short, and image count= 5. Furthermore, what's with the [[highschool]] pics? Not that they aren't good with the article and all, but they are from a somewhat minor part of a sbemail. ''One'' sbemail. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 20:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
:::[[Pom Pom]]'s article is about as long as everyone's favorite crap shoveler's, and he's got 5 pics. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 00:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

::::::1. Mine too. 2. Strong Mad's is still longer. 3. The highschool pics show him as a kid, which seems an important part of the bio. 4. you've GOTTA stop arguing tooth-and-nail over things. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:23, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' A Kick-a-ball jam named Saturdays

==Transcript==
''{A kickball juts forward on a musical sting, while "Kick-a Ball!" appears around it. The ball zooms in and its blue texture forms the background. The letters in "The Captains!" fall into place. A red bar with Homestar's face and a green bar with Strong Bad's face appear above and below that, respectively. That disappears and "The Draft!" falls into place. The ball zooms out quickly and lands between Strong Bad and Homestar, standing near the Umpire and a number of other characters.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, gentlemen, choose up! It's one-potato-two-potato see who gets first pick!

''{Strong Bad leans forward menacingly, holding both arms forward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{growls}''

''{Homestar leans forward too.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as though growling}'' Hmmmm!

''{Crickets chirp for a few moments as nothing happens. The Umpire looks between both characters, particularly where Homestar's hands would be.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmmm...

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Ah, right! Sorry! ''{produces a Trogdor-themed coin}'' Coin toss to see who gets first pick!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait! Why? I love 'tatoes!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Call it in the air!

''{Strong Bad tosses the coin.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh... Sonic. I mean tails!

''{The coin lands tails-up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Yes! Pom Pom, you have been and always will be my dog, but today, I gotta play the strategy card. I'm goin' with Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom cocks an eyebrow in confusion.}''

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

''{He shrugs and bounces toward Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, get your spotted yellow hinder over here!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{excited The Cheat noise, walks toward Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CUT ME DEEP! ''{frowns sadly and sobs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's see, let's see. Who's good in the field? Ooh! I'll take Pom Pom! Surprised he hasn't been snatched up yet!

''{Pom Pom lowers his eyes, annoyed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, but you just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stepping toward Strong Bad}'' Ah, ah, ah! Too late! I called 'im! You'll just have to be quicker next time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rolling his head around}'' Ooooooooooooooooooooo... kay. I got Bubs!

''{Bubs walks toward Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAT THE CRAP?!

'''POM POM:''' ''{quiet bubbles, leaning toward Homestar's ears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' Yeah, yeah, good call, he's got a great arm. ''{loudly}'' We'll take Pom Pom!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a surprise. All right, Graw Mad, get over here.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{singing}'' YOU ARE FORGIVEN!

''{Pom Pom looks on in exasperation as Homestar considers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, this one's a toughie. But, we gotta go with Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom lowers his head.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This keeps teetering between hilarious and maybe-we-should-put-him-in-a-home.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...And what wouldn't be hilarious about that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning out from behind Pom Pom}'' Pom Pom! Let's do this!

''{The remaining four characters are shown in profile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach Z!

''{Coach Z disappears.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll go with Pom Pom.

'''STRONG BAD:''' K.O.T., you're with me.

''{The King of Town disappears.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly, to the side, and disgustedly}'' Marzipan...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm sorry, what was that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Oh, I think he picked me! ''{starts to walk forward}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I didn't, I picked Marzipan.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{turns back, in the same cheerful tone as the last line}'' Cool!

''{By this point, Pom Pom is lying on the ground in sheer annoyance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, well, well, look who's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shutup! You play eighth base!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sounds important!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking at the now-empty space where the characters were previously standing}'' Ouch! Pom Pom! Picked last?! It's okay. You can be on our team.

''{Cut back to show the eleven characters split among the teams.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What perfect teams, huh, guys? Even Stevens!

''{Cut back to the blue texture on the ball. A red bar with Homestar and Pom Pom appears at the top labeled "the even stevens", and a green bar appears at the bottom with everyone else labeled "vs. little stevie & the evens". The Umpire appears in a circle in the corner.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, kickbaaaall!

''{Cut to the playing field. Pom Pom is winding up to pitch the ball. He looks toward the ball.}''

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

''{He throws the ball. It flies through the air in an extremely improbable whirling motion. Strong Bad, at the plate, attempts to kick it...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oop... RAAAH!

''{... but misses and falls down with a "whiff!"}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Stee-riiiiike!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, no fair! He was tellin' the ball what to do! It's probably one of his cousins or something!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you talkin' about little Tim Tom? He's ''way'' better-looking that that!

''{A kickball rolls across the screen to transition to The Cheat at the plate. He attempts to kick the ball, somehow resulting in both him and the ball flying across the field. He lands just next to first base, but then the ball lands on top of him before he can touch it.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' You're oooooouuuut!

''{Coach Z leans in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' I don't know what kinda low-rent, three-bedroom, two-bath, section 8 sport ''you're'' playin' here, ''{suddenly calmly}'' but I'm playing women's lacrosse. ''{He holds up a lacrosse stick.}''

''{Cut back as Coach Z turns to walk away. He's wearing a pink skirt.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' Ooo-doo-doo-doo-dooooooo...

''{Marzipan steps up to the plate.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, well, well! Look who it is!

''{Marzipan stamps the ground twice in preparation.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You got nothin', sister! You couldn't kick your way out of lookin' at a thing in a bag! Your momma wears combat boots! ''{he pitches the ball}'' Whoop!

'''MARZIPAN:''' She does not!

''{Marzipan kicks with a thick boot and the ball goes flying. Homestar tries to follow its movement but falls over. The King of Town is now at the plate and the ball rolls up to him. He jumps as the ball goes past.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{appearing in a bubble next to the King of Town}'' Stee-rike three, you're out!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sadly}'' Guess I'll go on back to the dugout.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... that's not what happens when you strike out in kickball.

''{The King of Town is then seen being loaded into a catapult.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I never got my sunflower ''{he's fired from the catapult}'' seeeeeeeeeeeeds!

''{The scoreboard behind him flashes "yer out!" Strong Mad is seen kicking the ball, and it flies over Pom Pom's head, travels around the world, flies over the head of a Pom with identical coloring to the kickball, continues its path, and strikes Strong Mad in the back of the head.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{again appearing in a bubble}'' You're oooooouuuuut!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{sadly}'' Awwwwww...

''{Following this is a montage where Bubs catches the ball, Homestar kicks the ball, The Poopsmith throws the ball at Pom Pom, and Strong Sad (standing next to a white 8-shaped "base" on the ground) pats his belly, all four making kickball sounds in time with the music. Cut to The Announcer in a booth nearby.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' It all comes down to this! Two outs! Bottom of the ninth! Down by two!

''{Cut to a shot of the scoreboard for a moment showing this. "Home" or "HS" has 127 runs, and "Visitor" or "SB" has 125.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad has a chance to win it, right here, right now! It doesn't get more exciting than this!

''{Cut to Onion Bubs sitting next to the BooOOM Box.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through the radio}'' I have no idea who I'm broadcasting to!

''{Cut to Homestar, holding the ball. The Cheat can be seen on base behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two outs, bottom of the ninth, down by two. Strong Bad has a chance to win it, right here, right now. It doesn't g—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling}'' JUST PITCH THE FREAKIN' BALL!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Comin' up!

''{He throws the ball. It rolls toward Strong Bad...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hyaaaah!

''{...and he kicks it! It flies high and far. Strong Mad can be seen on third base, as well as The Cheat on second. Cut to Strong Sad, still standing by "eighth base".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's ''four'' different types of grass I've identified now!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad! Why don't you recite your favorite Cartier Bodélé couplet?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, you mean... ''{He holds out his arms and closes his eyes as he recites.}'' The beige malaise can last for—

''{The kickball lands in Strong Sad's arms. He grabs it, surprised.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad is about to cross home plate, but...}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' You're ooooouuuut! That's the ball game!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap?! B-but he's on ''my'' team!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Au the contrary, Strong Bad. If you'll watch the official tape of the draft, you'll see that Strong Sad is on ''my'' team!

''{Cut to the "REPLAYTRON", replaying the scene where Pom Pom was lying on the ground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{unintelligible}''

''{The scene rewinds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{The tape slows down immensely. In a low, slow voice, out of the corner of his mouth:}'' And Strong Sad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, but that's cheating! You cheated! For once, ''you'' cheated, and ''I'' win!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' On the contraire, Strong Bad. If you'll review the official rule book,

''{He produces said book and looks into it. The page reads:

<blockquote>
Official Kick-a Ball Rules 
 
Rule 1. Same rules as 
kickball, except with 
"-a" added. 
AND double side-mouth whisper 
drafts are totally legal! 
signed, the commmish 
(not strong bad) 
Rule 2. Striking out results 
in vehement catapultery.
</blockquote>

''{The parts in blue are in Strong Bad's handwriting, and a small picture of a fire-breathing Strong Bad is drawn in the same color next to this.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You'll see that double side-mouth whisper drafts have been quite legal since 1989!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, the ding and the dang! ''{He turns around to look at The Cheat, standing behind him.}'' The Cheat! I told you to check our Cheaters' Almanac to make sure we didn't step on any of our own Cheat-toes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises, holds up a bag of "CHEAT-TOES".}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, everybody! Line up!

''{Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad stand still, with Homestar inexplicably sad, while Strong Bad, Coach Z, The Cheat, Bubs, Strong Mad, and Marzipan all walk past sadly in turn. Strong Bad's team takes a single step forward one at a time as each visible character says the following simultaneously on each step:}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and STRONG SAD:''' Good game... ''(etc.)'' 
'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}'' 
'''STRONG BAD, COACH Z, BUBS, STRONG MAD, and MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, right... ''(etc.)'' 
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}

''{As they continue forward, The King of Town flies by in the background.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!

''{Cut to a final screen reading "end." The circles inside the E and D, and the period, are all kickballs. "back" is written in the corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the period after "end" (a kickball) to see a scene in the announcer's booth.
:'''THE UMPIRE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Blaylock gave me this kickball t' my aunt 'n 1984.
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' I simply cannot express how impressive that kickball is!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*When arguing with the umpire, Coach Z refers to "low rent, three bedroom, two bath, Section 8" sport. [[Wikipedia:Section 8 (housing)|Section 8]] is a federal voucher-subsidized housing program in the United States. Rental housing occupied by Section 8 participants is indeed generally low rent.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the Umpire since [[Where My Hat Is At?]], and his first animated appearance. He was previously scheduled to appear in a 2006 [[Strong Bad Email]] (according to the DVD commentary), but the Brothers Chaps forgot.
*The theme song for this toon is a remixed version of the theme used in [[Weclome Back]].
* This has been the quickest release date between two big toons, as [[Career Day]] was put up on the website exactly a week before this toon.

===Remarks===
*Although the Umpire told everyone to line up, The Poopsmith was inexplicably absent in the final scene.

===Inside References===
*[[Trogdor]]'s face and tail can be seen on the coin.
*In the Easter egg, the Umpire's chat on Mookie Blaylock and the kickball with the Announcer parodies the Grape Fairy's chat with the Announcer on Mookie Wilson and the golbol in [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*Homestar taunts Marzipan, declaring she couldn't kick her way out of [[Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag]].
*Onion Bubs previously appeared in [[original]] and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].
*Strong Mad [[Strong Mad Smiling|smiles]] when Strong Bad picks him for the latter's team. Strong Bad, too, [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when he learns that Homestar cheated and lost.
*Homestar calls Pom Pom his [[my dog|dog]].
*The catapult derives from [[Revenge of the King]]
*The ball has the exact same design as the one in [[Theme Song Video]]
*Coach Z [[Cross-dressing|cross-dresses]] during the kickball game.

===Real-World References===
*The page title is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] song "[[Wikipedia:A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"|A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"]]".
*Part of the kickball game, specifically how the teams are arranged, refers to chapter 21 of "[[Wikipedia:Sideways Stories From Wayside School|Sideways Stories From Wayside School]]", in which Ron, one of the children from the school's thirtieth floor, plays kickball against his classmates, with only Louis, the schoolyard teacher, on his team, only to lose the game due to his poor kicking ability.
*During the coin toss, Homestar calls out "Sonic! I mean, Tails!" This is in reference to the Sega character [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], and his sidekick "[[Wikipedia:Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]".
*The bag of "Cheat-Toes" that The Cheat pulls out is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cheetos|Cheetos]].
*The Umpire mentions basketball player [[Wikipedia:Mookie Blaylock|Mookie Blaylock]].
*When Strong Mad yells "YOU ARE FORGIVEN," it is in reference to The Who's [[YouTube:ROQVSPsV2kg|"A Quick One While He's Away"]] of 1966, being a refrain sung in similar rapturous tones towards the end of that song.

== TVTropes? ==

Not sure the best place to put this, so I'll put it here.... since H*R deals with a lot of parodies and references to various TV tropes, could it be possible to have a quick link to [http://tvtropes.org TVTropes]? That might help cut down on the "this reference could refer to this or this or [[TTATOT|that]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:We currently have no articles that have any links to TVTropes.org, so a quick link to it would be pretty useless. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:37, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::That's... not true... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:::OK. But where are they? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::::All over the place... i'd do a search, but google doesn't search the wiki code and the wiki search is ignoring "tvtropes" for some reason... The most recent one is a link put on [[Hremail 2000]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, I also just had done a search with Google to see if there were any links. That's why I thought there weren't any. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:21, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::I'm not a fan of TVTropes due to fact it's nothing more than "[[unnatural|an organized forum for people to shout out their ideas all at the same time]]". If it was actually organised, correctly formatted and thus readable, things would be different. I feel it would be more beneficial if we could find an alternative, well-written article about the relevant trope somewhere on the Internet, or even a Wikipedia article, if possible. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:44, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

== Hremails ==

Instead of putting Short for these hremails, Can we actually put, like "Hremail: Hremail 2000"?
:"HREmail" isn't actually a category of toons as of yet, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::But it's not a short either... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:08, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:::They're uncategorized, and there's no reason for us to categorize them until TBC have done so as well. At the moment, they just reside in the New Stuff menu. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::::So why on the main page does it list them as shorts? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Couldn't we at least have some kind of navigation between the hremails? Yes, they're not categorized, but they are obviously related. --[[User:Son|Son]] 20:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::I agree.--[[User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake|Crudely Drawn Cupcake]] 23:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

::::::They are categorized on HSR.com, if you look under the toons menu, under new stuff, they have a little icon next to them that says "HSE" which stands for Homestar Email? Since the SBEmails have "SBE" next to them? Maybe? Dunno... --[[User:WillowDrake|WillowDrake]] 5:05, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::That's not categorized. all toons have three characters next to them like that. Categorized means put into one of the toon categories. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:55, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Now that there's a handful of Hremails, I think it's reasonable if only for our own convenience to group them all together. Which is why I did so a couple of days ago. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== Signature pictures ==

How do I put one of those pictures when I sign things?--[[User:Mariofan1000|Mariofan1000]] 21:24, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
:For that, you'll need a signature. Please check [[Help:Signature]] for how to create one, but make sure it follows the [[HRWiki:Signature|guidelines]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

== Former Featured Articles ==

In wake of the fact that [[Fourth Wall Breaks]] and [[Nintendo]] need cleanup and [[Date Nite]]'s Commentary Transcript has been left incomplete for nearly 2 years now, should I make a template and a category for Featured Articles that no longer deserve such titles? I already have some gewd ideas for template pictures. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:42, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
:Off the top of my head I'd say no. Once featured, always featured. But to get a better idea, you should elaborate on what the wording of the template would be and what image we should use. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:52, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
::Wording would basically explain that the article needs improvement before it can once again "highlight the fine work of the Wiki", and the picture would be the pumpkin pie (unless the "worst" ribbon is too harsh, then it will be Strong Sad's Self Portrait in Late October). If that's too similar to the cleanup template, it could be invisible like {{t|no-image}}. I just think we need to separate articles that no longer highlight our fine work from those that do. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Like, cough cough, history according to strong bad? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.34|132.183.138.34]] 20:13, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
::::It's not very clear to me what's wrong with that article. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:52, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Featured articles here are not like those at Wikipedia. At Wikipedia, saying an article is featured means it's considered one of the encyclopedia's finest articles, and therefore those that fall below this standard end up getting de-featured. Here, it just means we thought it was cool enough to put on the Main Page. There's no need to consider an article de-featured here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::As a side note, lack of a commentary transcript is not enough to deprive an article of its awesomeness. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

== Why... ==

I've always wanted to ask this, but why do we spend hours a day working on improving articles when almost 10% actually ''read'' the articles?? I guess it's good for something like a youtube video or something like that but is there some wiki inspector that comes along some time in 2009 that we're preparing for? Or is this all just for fun? Just asking. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:34, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:Ten percent of what? A far greater number of people read the articles than edit them, and even longtime editors still read articles for enjoyment. I myself read the [[4 Gregs]] article just yesterday and learned some very interesting tidbits. The bigger answer lies in the answer to "Why does one climb a mountain?" Because it's there and it's fun and challenging to do well. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:58, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
::Ask not what the wiki can do for you, but what you can do for the wiki. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 00:30, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

== Typo ==

but it isn't always clear whether or not the Dennis mentioned is '''reffering''' to the same Dennis in Thy Dungeonman.

:Fixed. Thanks. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:54, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Well, the [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 8|featured article template]] is semi-protected, after all... Anonny: For future reference, if you [[Special:Userlogin/signup|create an account]] (and wait a day or so to be autoconfirmed), you'd be able to edit the FA writeup yourself, and fix any typos... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:02, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
::::The annony was referring to the actual ''page,'' which is '''not''' semi-protected. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 22:04, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::The relevant wording from the featured write-up is identical to the sentence in the article itself.

== Bots ==

If a regular user like me was skilled enough to have a bot and it was only used for good, will it be blocked? --[[User:Fangoriously|Fangoriously]] 02:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, it would be blocked. See [[HRWiki:Blocking_Policy#Bots]]{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
::Why would a good bot that works be blocked? --[[User:Fangoriously|Fangoriously!]] [[User talk:Fangoriously|Chat]] 00:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Because that's what we have users for.-{{User:Record307/sig}} 03:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
::::Or, if we really do need the services of a bot, it's why we have developer-controlled bots.

== Tandy game ==

What did the "Tandy game" page look like before it was baleeted? --{{User:Fangoriously/SIGGY HERE!}} 17:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== 1.14 Upgrade? ==

I've noticed that MediaWiki 1.14 (non-rc) has been out for three days now, and it seems that [[Special:Version|we haven't upgraded]]. Just a note. --[[Special:Contributions/69.150.85.66|69.150.85.66]] 22:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:Three days? Wow, that would be extremely ambitious considering all of the customizations we make to the software, not to mention the fact that we developers have day jobs. Ever since we began doing upgrades the way we currently do, our record for upgrading after an official release is just under two weeks, set back when 1.8 was released. In all other cases it's taken us around two or three ''months'' (and that's not even counting the fact that we completely skipped 1.7, 1.10, and 1.13). With each upgrade, I have refined the process so that I have less to do each time (for example, by moving things out of the core code and into hooks, or by submitting a patch so that a custom feature or fix becomes standard), but some things are just intricate and have to be done manually (like autopipe). I had been making preparations in advance of the official 1.14 release, so hopefully it won't take too long, but just in case you weren't planning on keeping your pants on, I'd advise you do so. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:30, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== New Page Suggestion ==

Hey, is there/should there be a page listing all the times that Characters imitate other Characters? Like Strong Bad imitating Homestar on Marzipan's answering machine, Homestar imitating The Cheat in Do Over, etc. etc. What do you think? (I know about the "be bold" thing, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask someone else's opinion =P)
And, for future reference, is this where suggestions for new pages are supposed to be made? If not, where?
~ [[User:Branewashed|Branewashed]] 12:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:A page like [[Impersonations of Other Characters]]? Which we've had for 3 years? And there isn't really a set place for new page suggestions... this is probably as good a place as any. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
::As a matter of fact, yes, a page exactly like that...Yeah. Sorry 'bout that. Ok, so this can be ignored. =P Thanks! ~ [[User:Branewashed|Branewashed]] 12:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Sherlock

Branewashed — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:57:18 GMT

Branewashed: Sounds better this way...

[[Image:cowcopter.png|thumb|right|140px|Sherlock looking for the worm]]

'''Sherlock''' is the star of [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. He looks like a strange, egg-shaped, blue cow and moves by hovering like a helicopter. His language appears to be a sort of weird, [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|obscure murmur]]. It is perhaps for this reason that he never speaks with any of the characters; instead, most of his lines are apparently soliloquies. His main goal in life is to get [[The Worm]] out of its hole in the ground.

It was learned that his name was '''Sherlock''' from the [[strongbad_email.exe|strongbad_email.exe DVD]]. Previously, he had been referred to as '''Cowcopter''' in the [[Sketchbook 2004#SK-2004-08-05|Sketchbook]] as well as in the program for his GIF (Easter egg from crazy cartoon). If it weren't for [[The Brothers Chaps]] mentioning it, his name would never be known, as it was never mentioned on the site itself.

On the cover of the album "The Freewheelin' [[Eh! Steve!|Eh, Steve]]" (seen in [[Weclome Back]]), the song ''Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues'' is credited to '''Fresh Juice''', so this may be his pseudonym.

'''1-UP:''' ''{Blushes}'' Uh, yeah. But what is it you're doing?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Can't you see, my good man? I'm giving thanks! ''{Smiles broadly, then puts his hands on his hips with a ''Shing!'' sound.}''

'''1-UP:''' Oh.. ''{Blushes}''... because it looks like you're building a tractor!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Long shot showing the tractor}'' Shows how much you know! ''{Makes his laughing action}'' Now watch me give thanks to these crops! ''{Roots around in the tractor, and pulls out what appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Deere & Company|John Deere]] hat, putting it on with a ''ding!''}'' Ha! ''{Jumps into the air, spinning. He briefly comes to rest in mid-air in a reclining posture, then drops to the seat of the tractor and starts it up.}''

'''1-UP:''' That's not how you give thanks! ''{Laughs on "thanks", then blushes.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh yeah, talking-to-me-extraordinaire? If you're so smart, why don't YOU show me how to give thanks without the use of farm equipment?

'''1-UP:''' Okay. Pan Pan?

''{Pan Pan drops from above and lands with a gong sound, then opens his mouth wide and inhales 1-Up and Stinkoman. After a second, he spits out Stinkoman's hat. Cut to the interior of Pan Pan's stomach.}''

'''1-UP:''' Watch me while I do work! Why, just today, I'm thankful for Pan Pan's epiglottis! ''{Smiles broadly, while four hearts float out of his head and pop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, NOW I get it! Like this! ''{Dashes off-screen. Cut to him sitting behind a desk in a suit, his hair neatly combed.}'' Buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! ''{Holds a disconnected phone handset to his ear whenever he says "buy" and a mug of coffee to his mouth whenever he says "sell". Then he collapses to the desk, exhausted, and his hair changes back to its normal, unkempt state}'' Uhhh...

'''1-UP:''' No, no, no. THAT'S not it! ''{Laughs on "it".}''

''{Wipe to back outside. Close-up of 1-Up; the Cheatball can be seen spinning on his head.}''

'''1-UP:''' I'm thankful for the Cheatball spinning profusely on my head!

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh yeah! Now I REALLY got it! Like this! ''{Backflips off-screen. Rapid pan to show Stinkoman's foot sticking out of the ground. The foot wiggles as muffled speaking noises can be heard.}''

'''1-UP:''' ''{Walks up, Cheatball still spinning on his head.}'' That's not it, either!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Appearing on the other side of the screen}'' Say WHAT?

''{Diamond wipe to a shot of Stinkoman and 1-Up, sans Cheatball, in front of a mountain range.}''

'''1-UP:''' People give thanks for things like ''{Close-up as 1-Up holds up one item of each of the following as he says it.}'' favorite food, spiced bun, frozen bake, and all that, and all that.

''{Back to the long shot. The aforementioned items are sitting on the ground next to 1-Up.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Wiping his brow}'' Man, oh, man-o! Who would've thought that giving thanks was such a formidable challenge? ''{Triumphant pose}'' Hey wait, that's it! ''{Charges up, and suddenly gets incredibly muscular. Small rocks float up off the ground}'' Whoooaaa, making small rocks float up off the GRRROOOOOUUUUUUUUND! ''{As Stinkoman returns to normal, a pilgrim's hat appears on his head with a ''ding!''}'' I'm thankful that my hat is wearing a belt!

'''1-UP:''' Great job, Stinkoman! You got the Green Crystal Shard! ''{Shard appears with a green flash.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Will we ever find all the colors before the bad guy?

''{Rapid pan to the top of a mountain showing a shadowy figure with the red, blue and yellow shards. The shadowy figure laughs evilly. Scene freezes, and changes to an ink-drawing style. The credits appear on the screen.}''

'''VOICE-OVER:''' Be sure and tune in for tomorrow's exciting episode of... ''{Stinkoman appears, holding all four shards, and the title appears over the top.}'' ''Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards''!

''{Shot of Stinkoman at the desk in Pan Pan's stomach as before.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! Buy!

''{Back to title screen.}''

'''VOICE-OVER:''' Or... maybe don't. ''{Gong sounds. Back button appears.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[wikipedia:Epiglottis|epiglottis]] is a flap of cartilage at the back of the mouth. When swallowing, it folds down, preventing food from entering the windpipe, and sending it down the esophagus instead.

===Remarks===
*This is the first time the Shadowy Figure has appeared in a toon.
*"Profusely" means "abundantly", and thus cannot be used in the given context.

===Goofs===
*The picture on Stinkoman's hat flips sides when he jumps into the tractor.
*In the frame right before Stinkoman gets on the desk, he is shown without legs.
*When Stinkoman gets his pilgrim's hat for the first time, it covers his usual, moptop hairstyle. However, in the scene that follows his receiving the crystal shard, it turns to his Business executive hairstyle, and remains that way for the rest of the cartoon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, the name plate on the desk was supposed to read "Top Exec" using Arial [[font]] but the text did not display. This was fixed shortly after release, now using Algerian font.
*Originally, the crops weren't shown in the cartoon, the background was all green grass.

===Inside References===
[[Image:StinkoTwins.png|200px|thumb|"That's not it either!"]]
*Stinkoman's [[green tongue]] is seen in this toon, though his tongue is pink when he is talking.
*[[Lem Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly Sportsinterviews]]-[[A. Chimendez|Chimendez]] is credited as the writer of ''Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards''.
*[[Duplicate Characters|Two Stinkomans]] appear when all but his leg is buried.
*The crystal shards look similar to those found on the [[Homsar Reservation]] in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*Top Exec Stinkoman uses a [[disconnected telephone]].
*The inner lining of Pan-Pan's stomach resembles a [[brain]].
*1-Up saying "And all that" twice is similar to Homestar's tendency to repeat sentence fragments on occasion.

===Real-World References===
*Pan-Pan sucking up the characters is similar to the video game character [[Wikipedia:Kirby (character)|''Kirby'']], to whom [[Pom Pom]] and Pan-Pan have a slight resemblance.
*The "Making small rocks float up off the GRRROOOOOUUUUUUUUND!" sequence is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Dragonball Z|''Dragonball Z'']]. When characters "power up", rocks around them begin to float in a similar fashion, usually accompanied by their muscles bulging and an electric aura appearing around them.
*Stinkoman's hat has similar colors and logo to those of the [[Wikipedia:Deere & Company|John Deere]] tractor company.
*The color scheme and decals on Stinkoman's tractor resemble those on [[Wikipedia:Akira (manga)#Characters|Kaneda's]] motorcycle in [[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|''Akira'']].
*The cartoon in general appears to parody Japanese stereotypes of America, with generally "naive"-seeming interpretations of an American holiday in the cartoon.
*The face on Stinkoman's mug resembles [[Wikipedia:Ziggy_(comic)|Ziggy]], a comic strip character popular in the 70's and 80's, often releasing licensed mugs and other paraphernalia

Talk:Heavy Lourde

Branewashed — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 15:16:58 GMT

Branewashed: /**/FAQ and TGS weights?

== Heavy Load? ==

Unlikely that's it's a play on words for "Heavy Load". It doesn't make sense. Especially since Lourde is the french word.
*It makes sense to me, given that "Lourde" sounds a lot like "load"... [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 19:40, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Yeah, I think that could be a parody, too. It just sounds like "load", even though it's not meant to be like that. It sounds like a slur. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
*I've always thought it was a play on Heavy Load, and a Canadian anvil... But that's just me.
*I disagree with the fun fact. I think it's just a coincidence - the primary 'joke' is clearly the bilingual labelling. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*In french, "lourde" is a feminine adjective and it means heavy. The masculine form, which is applied by default would be "lourd" and it should have been used on the weight. It may be a reference to written french jokes in Warner Brothers cartoons, in "Pepe le Pew" and others where they made similar mistakes with "word genders".
*I'm the guy that made the edit, and I definately think it's a play on "heavy lourde." "Lourde" is exactly how Coach Z or Homsar would say it, and the Brother's Chaps use this kind of silly mispelling/mispronounciation all the time. While I admit it would be a pretty big coincidence if they had not known that it was French, it's not impossible, and it seems likely they were going for both jokes at once. I think it's at least worth mentioning as a possibility. -Aaron
* I always thought that the weight was owned/made by Coach Z, who did a great jarb with the lourde. - jay
:However, he pronounced "load" correctly in [[A Folky Tale]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

== FAQ and TGS weights? ==

The article says that the weight sticker in the FAQ is just a similar weight, and yet it is listed as an appearance of the Heavy Lourde. On the other hand, the TGS "NO Pounds" weight is not listed as an appearance, even though the only difference is what's written on it, which is the same difference between the Heavy Lourde and the "1 Ton" FAQ weight.

It seems to me something should be altered. {{User:Branewashed/sig}} 15:16, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Heavy Lourde

Branewashed — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 09:51:57 GMT

Branewashed: /* Appearances */ The FAQ weight it's labeled "1 Ton", not "Heavy Lourde"

[[Image:heavy_lourde.png|thumb|Heavy Lourde]]
[[Image:heavyhomsar.PNG|thumb|The Heavy Lourde doing what it does best.]]

The '''Heavy Lourde''' is an extremely large weight that drops on various characters. The most frequent victim of this weight is [[Homsar]]. In [[French]], "lourde" means "heavy", making the name redundant.

This gag is perhaps spoofing [[Monty Python|Monty Python's Flying Circus]], which had a similar running gag with a weight that said "16 TONS" on it.

The bilingual labeling on the weight may refer to the multi-lingual labeling of items [[Wikipedia:Bilingualism in Canada|required]] in Canada and becoming more prevalent in the United States since the advent of [[Wikipedia:NAFTA|NAFTA]]. When a bag is over a certain weight, a label is added to the bag saying "Heavy Lourde" on two lines in the same way it appears on the large weight.

In the [[FAQ]], a similar weight (labeled "1 TON") appears in the activity on the last page. Also, in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]], [[What's Her Face]] is squashed by a similar weight reading "NO Pounds".

==Appearances==

*'''Debut:''' Email [[homsar]] — Homsar is squished.
*[[Homsar Main Page]] — Homsar is again squished when the "[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]" button is selected.
*Email [[stunt double]] — [[Strong Sad]] gets "what [he] like[s] to call a broken neck", as a stunt double for [[Strong Bad]], who is playing [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]].
*Email [[garage sale]] — The Heavy Lourde is for sale at Strong Bad's garage sale.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — At the track.

In the continuity of the [[Homestar Runner universe]], it's often unclear if things are [[History According To Strong Bad|made up]] or really happen. Occasionally, something that '''starts out as obviously made-up becomes real'''.

*[[Trogdor]] was drawn by [[Strong Bad]] in the email [[dragon]] and then appeared outside Strong Bad's window in [[Trogday 08]].
*When introduced in [[animal]], the [[Lappy 486]] was a he. In [[dreamail]], Strong Bad imagined it as a she, and she's been that way ever since.
*When Strong Bad listed [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]] in [[band names]], it was implied that he was making them up on the spot (indeed, that's what [[TBC]] were doing), not listing bands that already existed in the Homestar Runner universe.
*[[Senor Cardgage]] was just a creepy comb-over version of Strong Bad until [[Senor Mortgage]] came along.
*In [[army]], [[The Cheat]] dressed up as [[Firebert]], a character he most likely made up. This later started the [[Cheat Commandos]], an actual television show in Free Country.
*[[20X6]] was originally made up by Strong Bad to describe himself as an anime. It has since taken on a life of its own and was shown to be real in [[alternate universe]].
*The [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] was made up by [[Strong Bad]] in the email [[montage]]. It later appeared in [[Senorial Day]].
