'''Strong Bad Email #40'''

Strong Bad takes a vacation and writes postcards from the [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|places he visits]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Date:''' August 11, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 4:26 (all options)

== Notes ==

This email was updated over a period of five weeks, with Strong Bad writing a postcard each time. It is also the last email featuring the [[Tandy 400]] before being replaced by the [[Compy 386]] in [[invisibility]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oooh, duh ''doo'' doo doo, my email left me, duh ''doo'' doo... ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
You must be a very busy man. You should think 
about a vacation. 
 
Filled with crap, 
BrothaCheese</blockquote>

''{He shakes his head disappointedly after reading "filled with crap."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, vacation, eh? You know, I have been sittin at this computer for a long freakin' time. And Strong Mad says I've been lashing out at The Cheat more often than usual... Yeah, you know what? ''{stops typing, scribbles a note while muttering "a little bit of this... little bit of that..."}'' I'm outta here. ''{pause}'' ''dorks''!

''{He slaps a Post-It note on the screen with a drawing of an angry face with sharp teeth and the word "DORKS!" and walks away humming. The screen fades to black, and comes back with a menu of postcards.}''

'''Just pick one.'''

=== Postcard 1 ===

'''The Great Mound (Bigger than that one in Ohio!)'''

'''Date:''' August 11, 2002

Hey, you guys! Just dropping you a line here from "The Great Mound." I got two words for ya: false advertising. There's ''nothing'' great about this mound, okay? And another thing: there's nothing but old ladies hanging around this mound! You know, wearing their muumuus and their tutus and all their Dainty McDainty crap... Like...I don't like old ladies. I don't even wanna see 'em. Anyways, the mound was a big disappointment. I'll write from my next destination. Later!

=== Postcard 2 ===

'''Fabulous Downtown Pantsburg'''

'''Date:''' August 15, 2002

Hey everybody. Don't be fooled. Downtown Pantsburg isn't anywhere ''near'' as fabulous as it appears in that photograph. I mean, they don't even let you ride that bike! In fact, it was, like, welded to that little house! Anyways, I met some guys here, they were pretty cool, we hung out, y'know, made fun of this one girl...pushed some guy into some mud... We traded addresses and stuff and they say they're gonna come visit, but, you know how that ends up. I'll never see 'em again. Come to think of it, I probably should have taken some of their stuff. Oh well. That old highway's a-callin' my name, so, you'll hear from me soon. Peace!

=== Postcard 3 ===

'''It's that CLOCK (look at it go)'''

'''Date:''' August 19, 2002

''{singing, with acoustic guitar playing in background}'' It's that clooooock...come on you guuuuuuys...you need to check it on ouuuuuuuut... it's that CLOCK! I can't believe it! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, the best thing about this postcard is if you look at the clock, that's the exact same time that I first laid eyes on the clock! 2:55, man. And like, iddi—oh, wait, it still says... 2:55. Okay, well, the clock is broken, but still! It's about the best thing I've ever seen ''{sings}'' in my whole liiiiiife! ''{stops singing}'' Okay, now I got to bust a wicked solo. ''{a crappy acoustic guitar solo is played}'' Thank you, goodnight!

=== Postcard 4 ===

'''Two Cars Tennessee'''

'''Date:''' August 22, 2002 (approx)

'Sup, everybody? Here I am in Two Cars, Tennessee, and you know what? I kinda miss you guys and your emails... I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear Stong Band, You are crap. Crap is the best. Everybody loves crap. Crap is in the mix. Crap is to the max. How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzi-pants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, Seattle, Washington." Ahh... okay! I got my fix. On to the next town! Oh, and incidentally, I highly recommend Two Cars, Tennessee. It's got a ''real'' happenin' arts and crafts scene.

=== Postcard 5 ===

'''Visit Historic Over There'''

'''Date:''' August 26, 2002

Hey guys, just a quick one while I'm away. So I visited Historic Over There. Don't be fooled by the old-timey photograph—the place really looks like that. Like, everything is tan and brown. The sky? Tan. And the streets are paved with a little different shade of tan. It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques. Yeah. ''Screwed up.'' There was one guy out there doing caricatures, though. I stopped by and got one...of myself...he made me...a caric-ter...choor...it was great. Okay. All this old Coca-Cola memorabilia is making me thirsty. I'll talk at ya soon.

== Easter Eggs ==

*You can click on the Post-It note to hear it say different insults and comments:
**Hey!
**Dorks!
**Get offa me!
**You stink!
*On the second postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the window and see Strong Bad being Strong Bad.
:''{A silhouetted Strong Bad peeks his head out from behind the dark rectangle, then runs toward the bike}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee! ''{jumps on the bike}'' Oh man. My legs don't even reach the pedals! This is about as fun as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride... But actually, that was pretty fun. There's that part where you think you're going to hit the badger, and—what the? 
:''{A second light comes on in the house, and a dog starts barking}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh geez! 
:''{Strong Bad jumps off the bike, and runs headlong into the mailbox, causing a flurry of mail and falling on the ground}'' 
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Hey, coupons!
*On the fourth postcard, at the end of his spiel, you can click on the rightmost headlight to see about the arts and crafts scene—err, the crazy Seattle [[Monkey D]] postcard.
*On the fifth postcard, while he is talking about his caricature, you can click on the postcard and see it.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the last time Strong Bad uses the Tandy 400, marking the end of its 40-email reign.
*This is the only email where you can't click on anything to email Strong Bad.

===Inside References===
*In the Easter egg on postcard five the credit line on the bottom of the caricature says "LEM '02." This most likely means it was drawn by [[Lem Sportsinterviews]] or [[LEMKE]].
*In is song of the postard 2: he say "night" like in the email [[guitar]]

===Real-World References===
*Mr Toad's Wild Ride was once a ride at Disney World. It is also still running at Disneyland.
*Also in postcard five, Strong Bad says "Just a quick one while I'm away," a reference to The Who's song "A Quick One While He's Away."
* In the first postcard, it says the Great Mound is "Bigger than that one in Ohio!" This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Serpent Mound|Serpent Mound]] in Adams County, OH.

== DVD Version ==
*While the DORKS! Post-It is still clickable, it only says half of its catalog of insults.
*The Lem Sportsinterviews caricature can be seen only by hitting your DVD player's Angle button.

''{Strong Bad says "Strobah" in place of "Strongbad," "groan" in place of "crap," and pronounces "TX" as "Tejas".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, you're bored out of your mind, eh? Well, you've come to the right place. Let's see what I...can do...about...that. ''{really draws "that" out, like "thaaaaaahhht"}''

''{Strong Bad exits stage left, and the screen zooms out on the Lappy. It then shows Bubs' face from very close up, and zooms out to show Bubs looking at the side of his concession stand while Strong Bad joins him. All the dialogue until Strong Sad's line is said at an exaggeratedly slow pace.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs! What craziness...is going on... over here?

''{short pause}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Strong Bad! ''{Strong Bad begins to slowly look towards Bubs}'' You startled me! I was just counting the bricks on this side of the building! I'm up to two hundred forty-eight!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two hundred and forty-eight! That's just a little less than two fifty!

'''BUBS:''' Yep! I remember learning that in school!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, take care... Bubs. I'm gonna take real, ''{camera zooms in on Strong Bad's mouth}'' real ''{camera moves back}'' tiny steps on over to The Stick. ''{exits stage right — very slowly}''

''{another short pause}''

'''BUBS:''' Be's careful!

''{The screen zooms out on Bubs; Strong Bad, still walking in tiny steps, approaches Homestar Runner standing by the Stick. Homestar isn't blinking, and his mouth is open.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you... um... doing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm practicing... closing... my eyes. I'm not very... good... at it... though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I see.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' More like... ''I'' see. [[#Footnote|*]]

''{Close up on Homestar closing his eyes slowly, eventually closing them completely}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! There we go! Now I see what all the fuss is about! ''{opens eyes}'' Oops, I lost it. ''{Bubs enters from stage left}''

'''BUBS:''' Two hundred and ninety six!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow! 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' What? 

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's just a little less... than three hundred!

'''ALL:''' I remember learning that in school!

''{Strong Sad suddenly jumps in under the influence of caffeine, interrupting "school" as flames burst on the sides of the screen for a split second.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wah-wah-wah-wait! You guys! You guys! I struck gold on the alien spaceship—I think it gave me super powers, there are wood-davers everywhere!

''{record scratching noise cuts back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, Jackson, as you can plainly see, things move a mile a minute 'round her'. Except for that Strong Sad. That guy's a real bore. And quite a fan of Danish physicist Niels Bohr. The most aptly named of all Danish physicists. So, I hope I bored you back into your mind. And I don't mean 'bored into your mind' like REEER! Pssh pssh! ''{typed as "(awesome drilling some brains sound)"}''. That's gross. But if you're still bored, sit back, relax, and prepare to experience the fury of... me naming all the three letter words I can think of.

*There is no comma after "dew" (last word on second line).

===Inside References===
*One of the three letter words Strong Bad types is "sbu", which is a reference to [[lunch special]].
*Strong Bad says "Prepare to experience the fury of... me naming all the three letter words I can think of." in his tour guide voice from [[theme park]], from which the first half of said line was taken. He ends with the sound of the microphone clicking off, also heard in theme park.
*Strong Sad's hyperactivity, twitching eye and mention of [[wood-davers]] are references to [[caffeine]].
**This scene also re-uses the Deathly Pallor music from [[radio]].
*Coach Z's comment on "jorb" being a four-letter word is a reference to [[A Jorb Well Done]].
**"A four letters word" may be a nod to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]], in which said phrase was used by Homestar.
*The way Strong Bad runs when taking "real tiny steps" is similar to how his past self ran the Ten-Step Footrace in [[flashback]].
*The machine drilling sound is similar to that of the sun-buzzsaw in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]].



===Real World References===
*Strong Sad's claim that he was given super powers after being taken aboard an alien spaceship is a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Greatest American Hero|The Greatest American Hero]].

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER

IN

CAR-TOON

''{Cut to:}''

"That A Ghost"

Presented in Grand Old
Sound-O-Vision

copyright 1937

''{Opens to 1936 Marzipan with a plate of bones on the table}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': We haven't eaten in weeks!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Guess what I read in the news-papper today.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': I can't guess!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I read that a ghost.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': You read that a ghost what?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I read that a ghost is.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': You read that a ghost is what?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I read that a ghost is here in town and there's a 27 cent reward for its capture.

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': You said it Fat Duds. We sure could buy a lot of corn-pone with 27 big ones.

''{The conversation is being watched in a telescope; pan to the right of the long telescope, where actually no-one is watching, but 1936 Strong Bad stands nearby reading a paper}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Says here in the news-papper that the encapturement of the new apparition garners a top reward of 26 and one pennies!

''{Cut to 1936 Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': We could buy the monocle off Rockefeller's very eyeball with that kind of cash!

'''STRONG MAN''': Raaar!

''{The Sneak moves his nose}''

''{Danger music. Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in front of a spooky house with a gate signed 'Pietimer'}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's check out the old Pietimer place.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': We should split up.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': We can do more damage that way.

''{They walk in. 1936 Marzipan looks under a cup.}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': Under here?

''{The Homestar Runner looks at a bookshelf full of ghost books.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hmm. Let's see. Maybe it's in here.

''{He removes a book labelled 'A Goodtime Story', the only book not related to ghosts or monsters. Opening it, a moth flies out.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Just a moth. ''{He tries to eat the moth, but it flies off.}'' Dernit!

''{1936 Marzipan looks under a plate.}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': Under here? ''{Spiders run out.}''

''{The Homestar Runner walks past two portraits. The one marked 'Mr. Pietimer' follows him with its eyes.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That picturemadrawin' looks sur-spicious. ''{He lifts it off the wall, revealing two one-eyed crows with a label reading "The Guys".}'' It's just two weird one-eyed crows. Ah, phooey.

''{Cut to Fat Dudley amidst some barrels, with a cigar and a jug marked 'XXX'. The Homestar Runner pops out of a barrel.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Fat Dudley? Were you gonna sneak a nip of hooch?

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''

''{Outside the house again, with the gate behind them.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Aw, there's no ghosts here. Just a bunch of gross aminals. Let's go look somewheres else.

''{Cut to 'Cholera Acres Cemetary', then to 1936 Strong Bad and The Sneak in front of Eustice Pietimer's grave (skinflint and junk codger).}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Listen smoothly, The Sneak! We're certain to catch a ghost once we exhume this grave using my new grave-exhuming invention!

''{Cut to Strong Man holding a shovel.}''

'''STRONG MAN''': Raaar!

''{The Sneak stands on his hind legs and moves his nose.}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': What what? Why, no! Of course that's not just the Strong Man holding a shovel! It's my newest invention! Besides, the Strong Man's over there doing some manner of stylish jig!

''{Cut to Strong Man, who is now doing a stylish jig on an unmarked grave (son of mark grave). The Guy at the Depot's head comes up out of the grave.}''

'''THE GUY AT THE DEPOT''': ''{wheezily}'' Would you please keep it down?

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, 1936 Marzipan and Fat Dudley in the 'Punkin Patch'.}''

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': The Homestar Runner, I'm s-s-s-s-scared! ''{pronouncing each "s" as a separate entity, almost as "suh-suh-suh"}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Scared of what? Punkins? They're just punkins.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': But I'm s-s-s-s-S-scared!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, fine. We'll go look in the graveyard.

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': ''{smiling}'' Hooray!

''{Cut back to Cholera Acres Cemetary, where they enter, then meet 1936 Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak, who have dug up the grave of Eustice Pietimer.}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': You're too late! The reward will be ours! I'll be marching around in gold pants in no time!

'''1936 MARZIPAN''': Where's the ghost?

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Behold! The fantoustic phantasm!

''{Sickly Sam rises out of the grave, and floats above it.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That's no ghost. That's just our worst friend Sickly Sam.

'''SICKLY SAM''': I bury myself alive on Tuesdays.

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Criminy crickets! Foiled again!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Then where's the real ghost?

''{A black cloaked ghost with spindly arms fades in, floating above the tombstones and making a motorcycle-like noise}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{eyes bulging}'' Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. ''{his skin falls off, leaving his skeleton}''

'''1936 STRONG BAD''': Wa-a-a-a-a-a! ''{his skin also falls off, leaving his skeleton too}''

''{Cut back to the ghost, which fades away, then to The Homestar Runner and 1936 Marzipan, who is also a skeleton.}''

'''SKELETAL 1936 MARZIPAN''': At least we'll never go hungry again.

'''SKELETAL THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': 'Cept for Fat Dudley. ''{Cut to skeletal Fat Dudley, who is 'eating' a shoe with a soup spoon, with a jug labelled 'XXX' nearby.}'' He's livin' the high life!

'''SKELETAL FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''

''{Transition accompanied with closing music, to:}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first cartoon featuring the "[[1936]]" characters in the far-flung year of 1937.
*This is Sickly Sam's first appearance where he does not "die".
*The other books on the bookshelf read:
**Dead Things Book One
**Ghostly Measures
**27 Cent Ghosties
**The Ghost In My Pocket
**Creepiness, Oh My!
**There Is A Ghost In This Book
**A Goodtime Story (The book Homestar grabs)
**Banshees, Indeed!
**Ghastly Monsters
**Zombies Are Cool

====Skeletons====
=====Marzipan=====
* Her pony tails apparently sport their own spinal columns
* Marzipan's skeleton also reveals that her "skirt" has its own skeletal structure. This is in agreement with [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], where contemporary Marzipan wore jeans with a hole near the hem.
* Marzipan and Homestar's skeletons prove that they don't have arms.
=====1936 Strong Bad=====
* His Moustache has bones in it
* 1936 Strong Bad's skeleton also shows that his shoes have bones, or else that his feet are shoe-shaped.
* His hands look like his "gentleman's sports gloves", which proves that he doesn't just wear them; those are really what his hands look like. The same would then apply to modern-day Strong Bad's boxing gloves, and maybe even his mask, which is consistent with his response in the email "[[some kinda robot]]."
* He has no visible mouth- it may be behind his mustache, which moves when he talks.

===Remarks===
*Based on the tombstones in Cholera Acres Cemetary, Sir Rondello Shmallow could be [[Mr. Shmallow (character)|Mr. Shmallow]]'s full name.
**But maybe not, since in [[Malloween Commercial]], it shows Mr. Shmallow's tombstone and it just says "Mr. Shmallow", so Sir Rondello Shmallow might be a relative.
*The theme for 1936 Strong Bad is different from that of his previous appearances.
*The Homestar Runner's voice isn't as scratchy and Fat Dudley's voice is deeper than in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*When Marzipan lifts the teacup, the "liquid" in it does not spill.

===Goofs===
*The two one-eyed crows eyeballs do not match up with the painting after the painting is removed.
*"Cemetery" is spelled wrong. This may or may not be a goof.

===Inside References===
*The picture labelled 'Cory' could be a reference to the email [[cheat talk]] written by "the citizens of cory".
*'Cory' is also shown in the [[Main Page 22]] by unlighting the 'downloads' link
*The page title, "Bury Me Deep I'm Cold and Clammy!” is taken from an interview with [[Matt Chapman]] in which he says this line as [[Homsar]]. The interview can be seen [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/index.html here].
*The Strong Man dancing on the grave is most likely a reference to [[Dancin' Bubs]], where one of the places he can dance is on "your grave". The tune used while he dances is the same one used whenever The Homestar Runner "does his dance".
*When The Homestar Runner's eyes balloon up in fright this is similar to The Cheat in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*On one of the Gravestones, it reads, "Sir Rondello Schmallow 'Look Lively?'" This is an obvious refrence to the [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] toon, in which he says many times, "Look lively!!!"
*When Homestar screames it bears a resemblence to [[Homsar]]

*The quote "[http://www.wavsite.com/sounds/20017/ghost05.wav let's split up, we can do more damage that way]" is a reference to the 1984 film ''[[IMDB:tt0087332|Ghostbusters]]''.
*The Homestar Runner says the "news-papper" is offering a reward of 27 cents. This may have come from an old ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0054524/ Rocky and Bullwinkle]'' show when [[Wikipedia:Rocket J. Squirrel|Rocky]] offers a 27-cent reward for the capture of the Boxtop Bandit.

Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the old man fishing. Mousing over a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''Characters''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] (possibly a clip from the song "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi) and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''Downloads''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen saying "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!" and "Make millions doing nothing!!" with [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] saying [[fhqwhgads]] (in [[Visor Robot]]'s voice) on "Make millions doing nothing!!", along with Cory from the [[That a Ghost]] toon, and [[Monte Negro]] on "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". The sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] appears with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered," and eventually the startup screen for [[Edgarware|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by the Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed intermittently over Edgar's face and says, "Some of my buses." who is also a reference from mile
*'''Store''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''Email''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the links it crushes.
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*You can never be directly linked to this page, you must manually click on the 22 in the Main Page selector.
===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System Is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different font and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font.
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked.
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page. The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons. Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [http://homestarrunner.com/main6x.swf Old Main Page 6], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds.
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".

===Glitches===
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Fan Stuff boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are, just like on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.
***Because of this glitch, you can see a quirky thing happen when you click the quote of the week button. For a Split second you will be able to see Homestar's face and a short blurb saying "Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."
****A previous version of the Quote of the Day page read "Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!". It was changed sometime in mid-April 2005, probably the 15th (the date reported in the "Last-Modified" HTTP header for qod.swf). The reason for the change is as yet unknown.
*When Peasant's Quest appears, you can still click on the covered "First Time Here" link and the hidden area of the What's New button.
*There is a sound glitch in the characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts University|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*"Drop a train on 'em!" is what [[Strong Bad]] said when he ran [[Edgarware]] in [[virus]].
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
* When Bubs says 'some of my buses', this is a reference to [[Strong Bad Email]] #87, [[mile]].
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].

[[Image:searchfortheyellodello.PNG|thumb|One hot bird.]]

''"The Yello Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon."''

Homestar wants to get a gift for Marzipan, but can't decide what to get. Coach Z advises him to get something rare and exotic, so Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad head out to catch the Yello Dello.
The DVD is complete with commentary, the old version of the cartoon, and deleted scenes.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The Alien Guy]], [[The Mountain Goat]], [[The Yello Dello]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Marzipan]], [[The Announcer]], [[Strong Mad]]

You'd be clobbered! You've gotta stick and move and zig and zag to get past the defenses, so youse can score! ''{Blackboard writing forms a skull and crossbones}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But Coach, I don't understand! ''{Homestar's mouth simply stays open through the entire sentence here}''

'''COACH Z:''' Don't just get her a flower. ''{Scene showing Homestar giving Marzipan a regular flower; flower droops.}'' Get her some rare flower from the tallest mountain! ''{Scene showing Homestar at the top of a mountain with a rare flower wearing lederhosen}'' That way she knows how much she means to yahse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Coach! ''{Levitates and flies away to the sound of squealing tires}''

''{Homestar is sitting on a rock next to a tree. The sun and moon rise and set several times}''

'''CAPTION:''' So he thought and thought... Until finally...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I has the solution! The Yello Dello!
''{Scene changes to the Yello Dello on the "Discover Network"; a David Attenborough-type host describes the bird}''

'''HOST:''' Found only in northeastern Potamia, the Yello-Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon.

''{Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homestar are about to set out on their journey}''

'''CAPTION''': And So Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad set out in search of the Yello Dello...

'''CAPTION:''' Encountered many dangers...

''{Homestar swings over the alligators}''

'''CAPTION:''' Until at last they reached their destination...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, come on, guys, lets do it for Marzipan!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I already got Marzipan a present and I don't really think that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. We do it for Marzipan.

{''Cut to Marzipan watering some flowers with a watering can that says "H2Oh!".''}

'''CAPTION:''' Meanwhile...

''{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing what appear to be oven mitts}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday. You wanna know what I got you? NOTHING!

''{Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's rudeness but cheers herself up by thinking about the Yello Dello}''

''{Back to our heroes at the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack wiggles next to them}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ok, we got it. Now let's go home and get ready for the party.

''{Marzipan's house is decorated with balloons (on the mailbox) and a big banner reading "happy birthday marzipan" Marzipan hops around a bit by her mailbox then walks over to her house. She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad, and Homestar, who is holding chicken on a platter}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Birthday!

''{Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello, screams and slaps Homestar. Hard. The unharmed Yello Dello pops out of a giftbox.}''

'''YELLO DELLO:''' Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

'''CAPTION:''' end. ''{The scorpion from the Pitfall scene crawls by and you hear the intro music to Donkey Kong}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER''': ''{voiceover}'' One day after sports practice, Coach Z noticed Homestar Runner looking dejected.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, what's the problem there, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Coach Z, I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I figured it was girl trouble. Step into my office.

{''Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homestar are about to set out on their journey. Homestar picks up his knapsack, which accidentally hits Strong Sad in the face.''}

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, you guys, we're about to embark on a very serious journey. I can't promise you it will be easy, rewarding, or even any fun, really.

''{Pom Pom and Strong Sad exchange a sidelong glance}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But you guys will do it because you're my friends, right? OK, any questions?

{''Strong Sad raises his hand''}

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have a question—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, let's go!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. We do it for Marzipan.

''{Cut to Marzipan watering some flowers with a watering can that says "H2Oh!".}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing to herself}'' My birthday, my birthday, it's almost my birthday. Yeah yeah yeah...

''{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing what appear to be oven mitts}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{surprised}'' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh hi, Strong Bad. Are those my oven mitts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No! These are my training gloves...probably... Uhh, anyways, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{drops watering can}'' Yello Dello?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You wanna know what I got you?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My oven mitts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' NOTHING!

''{Strong Bad leaves. Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's rudeness but cheers herself up by thinking about the Yello Dello}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' {''happily''} Oh, my very own Yello Dello!

''{Marzipan imagines the Yello Dello wearing a gardener's outfit}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' She can assist me with my gardening!

''{The Yello Dello is seen eating something pink out of what looks like a clam shell on top of the mountain. The camera moves slightly down the mountain where Homestar appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' HELLO! YELLO!

''{Strong Sad appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO!

''{Pom Pom appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO! ''{stops singing}'' All right, you guys, any ideas?

''{Pom Pom nods, and pulls out a pistol, which makes a clicking noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I kinda wanted to take her alive, Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom shrugs, then tosses the pistol off the side of the mountain. Strong Sad raises his hand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH! OH! OH! I have the best idea! You guys stay here.

''{Homestar peeks over the peak of the mountain, where we see the Yello Dello's legs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dello. Would you mind coming with us? You see, it's—

''{The Yello Dello starts pecking Homestar furiously on the head. Homestar retreats back to the others all lumped up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, that didn't work.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raising his hand again}'' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... sooo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...of what to try...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...next.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I ha—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH! OH! OH! I've got an even BETTER idea!

''{Homestar peeks over the peak of the mountain again, this time behind the Yello Dello}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dello. Would you mind coming with us? You see, it's—

''{The Yello Dello once again pecks Homestar furiously on the head, causing Homestar to once again retreat to his friends. Homestar is now lumped up and bleeding from under his cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK. Uh, Pom Pom, hand me that gun.

''{Pom Pom produces another pistol to hand to Homestar}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, wait, Homestar, I really have an idea that I think will work and we won't have to shoot the Yello Dello with that gun.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I've been here pretty much the whole time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh I ''bet'' you have. Let's hear your idea.

''{Cut back to the top of the mountain. We see the Yello Dello standing there once again. From the bottom of the screen, we see a pillar consisting of Pom Pom, Homestar, and Strong Sad rise itself up to the Yello Dello}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, excuse me, Mrs. Dello, I don't mean to bother you. I just wanted to tell you a story about a little, grey, fat kid that nobody liked.

''{Closeup on Homestar and Pom Pom. We continue to hear Strong Sad speak}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid had two horrible brothers.

''{Some time later, Homestar and Pom Pom have fallen asleep, and Strong Sad is still talking}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' In fact, there was this one time where they took his underpants and filled it with bologna.

''{Cut to long shot featuring the silhouettes of Strong Sad, Homestar, Pom Pom, and the Yello Dello}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then there was the time they took the only thing precious to him in the whole world, his journal...

''{More time passes. It's now night, and the Yello Dello is sleeping as well. Strong Sad is STILL speaking}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and they read his poems aloud to all the children and they laughed and laughed...

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom dozing again, and Homestar wakes up with a start, and gets up behind Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid was—
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Strong Sad... Strong Sad!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Sorry.

''{Back to our heroes at the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack making snoring noises sits next to them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{visibly tired}'' Ok, uhm... nice work you guys. Uhm... let's uh... let's go... um... home.

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. We see Marzipan walking up to her door.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' {''singing to herself''} I'm getting the Yello Dello... yeah yeah yeah...

''{She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad, Homestar, Coach Z, and Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG SAD, HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z, AND STRONG MAD:''' Happy birthday!
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Happy freakin' birthday!

''{Homestar hands Marzipan a roast chicken. Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, how awful! Homestar, how could you?!

''{Marzipan slaps Homestar so hard across the face that the chicken flies out of his hands and across the room.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is the worst birthday I've ever had...

''{Marzipan walks off in a huff. The unharmed Yello Dello pops out of a giftbox.}''

'''YELLO DELLO:''' Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

''{Cut back to outside the house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I guess I just don't understand the ladies...

'''CAPTION:''' end. ''{The scorpion from the Pitfall scene crawls by and you hear the Pitfall death music}''

== Commentary Transcript ==
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello! This is Homestar Runner!

'''STRONG SAD:''' And this is Strong Sad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And we're both morons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, "and welcome to the King of Town Super DVD!"

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, I think he means "the Yello Dello DVD."

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I think what he means is "I'm the dumbest guy on the planet. Here's some proof!"

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, let's begin!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, let's begin. What the crap kind of freaked-up sport are you guys playing anyway? I mean, you're on a football field, but you've got a basketball goal, and basketballs and footballs...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! It's America's pastime! Working with Coach Z is always so great! He's such a-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot? Moron? Crap for brains? Creep? You know, Homestar, I saw Coach Z coming out of Marzipan's house the other day...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait. Really? You did?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Little known fact: Homestar gained a hundred pounds and shrank two feet for this role.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. Oh yeah, oh yeah, this is the scene that has subliminal advertisement! Watch, if you see that X, it ends up going between the E and the Z, which means that it...uhm...is easy...does it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Pfft! You look so great in that lederhosen, Homestar. Shall we start calling you Homestar von Runnerberger or something?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I look great in that stuff!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was ''my'' lederhosen...

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so he crapped and crapped and crapped and crapped and crapped all over that rock.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey! That only happened once!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was ''my'' rock... uh, it always kind of bugged me how you could never get your grammar right here, Homestar. "I think I ''has'' the solution?" What's that mean?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and I don't care what anybody says, but that bird is hot. I'll tell you that right now. A fine looking bird. Oh, here comes my favorite part! Oh ho ho! That's so great! That's a great one, Homestar! Classic!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? What'd I do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You hit me in the face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I know! It's America's pastime!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I hate it when Pom Pom floats like that. It gives me the creeps, you know. I don't trust that guy any farther than I can throw him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, then you must trust Pom Pom a whole lot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? You guys were doing pretty good at this point. You hadn't lost any men. Had you found a diamond ring yet?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah, I think we found a diamond ring and some platinum bars and a couple bags of gold.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Homestar}'' Oh come on, let's do it for Marzipan!

''{Homestar laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Well, I already got Marzipan a present.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, keep it up, Strong Bad! I DO sound funny! Who's that? Oh, wait.

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, now before you guys start, I've got to say, in my defense, that I never wore a pair of oven mitts in my life, OK? Those have ''obviously'' been added in later on using the most advanced computer magic available. All right?

''{Homestar starts laughing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I'm serious!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at Marzipan. She's funny lookin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, what a hottie.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, this scene is my pride and joy. I wrote this whole song all by myself. Well, except for the lyrics. And, uh, the music.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah, I got an idea for you: jump. OK, Homestar, where the crap are your legs in this scene?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, Homestar wasn't in this scene. That was a sophisticated puppet that I'm operating with one of my hands at... offscreen?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah, I remember that. They had to replace me because I didn't have any legs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pwahahahaha! OK, I lied, man. THIS is my favorite part of the whole cartoon. Hahaha. Oh look at him. His head looks like one of those things on a cow. ''(gasping for breath)'' You know the part, where the milk comes out.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, that was a sophisticated bladder system that I operated off-screen with a belt—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? Bwahahahaha! Oh man, that's so great! And now he's bleeding! Hohoho! Like some stupid bleeding baby.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, this, I feel, is your strongest role. It's like your every delicate intonation and gesture helps to weave this rich subtext of despair and wisdom.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh wow. Thanks Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? Did you just say something to me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know how the two of you managed to get his, fat, ugly butt up there.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, don't worry. We had, like, twelve other guys underneath us helping.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Haha, it is a, a fat butt isn't it? It's ugly too.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now this was my time to really shine in the cartoon, so I used a bit of method acting to apply some of my own personal experiences to the scene. ''{snoring in the background}'' And I remembered this time back in school where, all of a sudden, everybody started being real nice to me, and I though it was 'cause I started wearing this t-shirt that said "I'm #1" on it, but it turns out it was all just because I had a pool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wakes up}'' Hmm? What? Huh? What's going on? Oh, Strong Sad is stupid and Homestar is dumb. OK, Homestar, I've gotta ask, do you ever remember your lines? Because you're always going "uhm, uh, uhm, uh OK, OK, uhm."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... yeah, I think I remembered this one line, one time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a big door.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a fake turkey. That's a fake invisible turkey.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Marzipan really scares me when she's angry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, ouch. You know, Marzipan has really nice hands.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I suppose she does.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you know those little guys creep me out, man. Like, I'll have nightmares where there's like a thousand of those little scorpions crawling all over me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah yeah yeah, or like that thing from Yar's Revenge, and, like, you wake up, and it's nibbling on pieces of you falling off in squares.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I dream of my own death. Over and over and over and over and over and over ''{fades out with him continually repeating it}''

Voices by Missy Palmer and Matt Chapman 
Written, Animated, and Produced by 
The Brothers Chaps

''{Homestar sticks his head in front of the screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody, it was a preview.

== Deleted Scenes Transcripts ==
=== Original Danger ===
'''CAPTION:''' Deleted Scene #1: This scene was to be used as one of the perils that Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad faced on their journey to find the Yello Dello. Homestar's foul mouth kept it out of the final cut.

''{Cut to scene from the Atari game Barnstormers. Homestar is piloting a biplane with Strong Sad and Pom Pom as passengers, and runs it into a barn four times, then pulls up and runs into a couple birds}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!

=== Coach Z's Office ===
'''CAPTION:''' Deleted Scene #2: Coach Z's office wasn't always the locker room. Watch and learn. And be disturbed.

'''COACH Z:''' Step into my office.

''{Cut to the showers. Homestar is seen from the back, naked except for a showercap, while Coach Z is fully clothed.}''

'''COACH Z:''' So, tell me what's the matter. ''{claps three times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well...

=== Strong Mad ===
'''CAPTION:''' Originally cast in the role of Strong Bad, was Strong Mad. Despite a stellar performance, it was later decided that his oven mitts were too big, so the role went to Strong Bad.

''{Cut to Strong Mad and Marzipan standing in Marzipan's garden.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE YELLO DELLO...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' YELLO DELLO...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What did you say? Mello Yello?

'''STRONG MAD:''' The Yello Dello...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' Uhhhh... Homestar...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm Marzipan.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*When Coach Z talks to Homestar Runner about not just getting Marzipan a flower, but getting a special flower, Homestar's star has unusual lines across it. Star shapes are sometimes drawn this way so that the shape can easily be drawn symmetrically. This symbol is called a pentacle.
*If you go to the third deleted scene, the one where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role, you can see that Strong Mad has a [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] tattoo on his right arm. Also, he has a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
* The flower that Marzipan is watering is made in the likeness of the flower given by Homestar in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.

=== Goofs ===
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version
*The link to the storyboards do no longer work

=== Inside References ===

*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into a bird or something, Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[Ducks|duck]] away from me!" This is a reference to what Strong Bad says on [[Main Page 13]], or vice versa.

=== Real-World References ===
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html|?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]. The scene with the scorpion is also from the classic Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html|?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall].

*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|"In Search Of"]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek's]] [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).

* H2-OH! is a bottled water brand.

* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"

* The character from [[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]] that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's Marzipan's birthday, and I don't what to get her!

''{The alien in the shower's towel falls off}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, Homestar, I tell you. Girls are like a great sports play. ''{We now see a blackboard with a gameplay on it}'' You can't just rush in to the score zone! You kiddin' me? You'd be clobbered! You've gotta stick and move and zig and zag to get past the defenses, so youse can score! ''{Blackboard writing forms a skull and crossbones}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But Coach, I don't understand! ''{Homestar's mouth simply stays open through the entire sentence here}''

'''COACH Z:''' Don't just get her a flower. ''{Scene showing Homestar giving Marzipan a regular flower; flower droops.}'' Get her some rare flower from the tallest mountain! ''{Scene showing Homestar at the top of a mountain with a rare flower wearing lederhosen}'' That way she knows how much she means to yahse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Coach! ''{Levitates and flies away to the sound of squealing tires}''

''{Homestar is sitting on a rock next to a tree. The sun and moon rise and set several times}''

'''CAPTION:''' So he thought and thought... Until finally...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I has the solution! The Yello Dello!

''{Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homestar are about to set out on their journey}''

'''CAPTION''': And So Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad set out in search of the Yello Dello...

''{A map appears and red dotted lines track their route through Far Off Lands, Prance, Portugal, and Potamia}''

'''CAPTION:''' They traveled many miles...

''{The adventurers are in a game of Pitfall.}''

'''CAPTION:''' Encountered many dangers...

''{Homestar swings over the alligators}''

'''CAPTION:''' Until at last they reached their destination...

''{The Yello Dello is shown atop a mountain. The three approach the base of the mountain}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, come on, guys, lets do it for Marzipan!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I already got Marzipan a present and I don't really think that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. We do it for Marzipan.

{''Cut to Marzipan watering some flowers with a watering can that says "H2Oh!".''}

'''CAPTION:''' Meanwhile...

''{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing what appear to be oven mitts}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday. You wanna know what I got you? NOTHING!

''{Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's rudeness but cheers herself up by thinking about the Yello Dello}''

''{Back to our heroes at the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack wiggles next to them}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ok, we got it. Now let's go home and get ready for the party.

''{Marzipan's house is decorated with balloons (on the mailbox) and a big banner reading "happy birthday marzipan" Marzipan hops around a bit by her mailbox then walks over to her house. She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad, and Homestar, who is holding chicken on a platter}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Birthday!

''{Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello, screams and slaps Homestar. Hard. The unharmed Yello Dello pops out of a giftbox.}''

'''YELLO DELLO:''' Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, you guys, we're about to embark on a very serious journey. I can't promise you it will be easy, rewarding, or even any fun, really.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But you guys will do it because you're my friends, right? OK, any questions?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{surprised}'' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh hi, Strong Bad. Are those my oven mitts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No! These are my training gloves...probably... Uhh, anyways, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{drops watering can}'' Yello Dello?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You wanna know what I got you?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My oven mitts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' NOTHING!

''{Strong Bad leaves. Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's rudeness but cheers herself up by thinking about the Yello Dello}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' {''happily''} Oh, my very own Yello Dello!

''{Marzipan imagines the Yello Dello wearing a gardener's outfit}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' She can assist me with my gardening!

''{The Yello Dello is seen eating something pink out of what looks like a clam shell on top of the mountain. The camera moves slightly down the mountain where Homestar appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' HELLO! YELLO!

''{Strong Sad appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO!

''{Pom Pom appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO! ''{stops singing}'' All right, you guys, any ideas?

''{Pom Pom nods, and pulls out a pistol, which makes a clicking noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I kinda wanted to take her alive, Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom shrugs, then tosses the pistol off the side of the mountain. Strong Sad raises his hand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH! OH! OH! I have the best idea! You guys stay here.

''{Homestar peeks over the peak of the mountain, where we see the Yello Dello's legs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dello. Would you mind coming with us? You see, it's—

''{The Yello Dello starts pecking Homestar furiously on the head. Homestar retreats back to the others all lumped up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, that didn't work.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raising his hand again}'' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... sooo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...of what to try...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...next.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I ha—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH! OH! OH! I've got an even BETTER idea!

''{Homestar peeks over the peak of the mountain again, this time behind the Yello Dello}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dello. Would you mind coming with us? You see, it's—

''{The Yello Dello once again pecks Homestar furiously on the head, causing Homestar to once again retreat to his friends. Homestar is now lumped up and bleeding from under his cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK. Uh, Pom Pom, hand me that gun.

''{Pom Pom produces another pistol to hand to Homestar}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, wait, Homestar, I really have an idea that I think will work and we won't have to shoot the Yello Dello with that gun.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I've been here pretty much the whole time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh I ''bet'' you have. Let's hear your idea.

''{Cut back to the top of the mountain. We see the Yello Dello standing there once again. From the bottom of the screen, we see a pillar consisting of Pom Pom, Homestar, and Strong Sad rise itself up to the Yello Dello}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, excuse me, Mrs. Dello, I don't mean to bother you. I just wanted to tell you a story about a little, grey, fat kid that nobody liked.

''{Closeup on Homestar and Pom Pom. We continue to hear Strong Sad speak}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid had two horrible brothers.

''{Some time later, Homestar and Pom Pom have fallen asleep, and Strong Sad is still talking}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' In fact, there was this one time where they took his underpants and filled it with bologna.

''{Cut to long shot featuring the silhouettes of Strong Sad, Homestar, Pom Pom, and the Yello Dello}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then there was the time they took the only thing precious to him in the whole world, his journal...

''{More time passes. It's now night, and the Yello Dello is sleeping as well. Strong Sad is STILL speaking}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and they read his poems aloud to all the children and they laughed and laughed...

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom dozing again, and Homestar wakes up with a start, and gets up behind Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid was—
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Strong Sad... Strong Sad!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Sorry.

''{Back to our heroes at the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack making snoring noises sits next to them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{visibly tired}'' Ok, uhm... nice work you guys. Uhm... let's uh... let's go... um... home.

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. We see Marzipan walking up to her door.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' {''singing to herself''} I'm getting the Yello Dello... yeah yeah yeah...

''{She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad, Homestar, Coach Z, and Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG SAD, HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z, AND STRONG MAD:''' Happy birthday!
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Happy freakin' birthday!

''{Homestar hands Marzipan a roast chicken. Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, how awful! Homestar, how could you?!

''{Marzipan slaps Homestar so hard across the face that the chicken flies out of his hands and across the room.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is the worst birthday I've ever had...

''{Marzipan walks off in a huff. The unharmed Yello Dello pops out of a giftbox.}''

'''YELLO DELLO:''' Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

''{Cut back to outside the house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I guess I just don't understand the ladies...

== Commentary Transcript ==
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello! This is Homestar Runner!

'''STRONG SAD:''' And this is Strong Sad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And we're both morons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, "and welcome to the King of Town Super DVD!"

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, I think he means "the Yello Dello DVD."

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I think what he means is "I'm the dumbest guy on the planet. Here's some proof!"

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, let's begin!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, let's begin. What the crap kind of freaked-up sport are you guys playing anyway? I mean, you're on a football field, but you've got a basketball goal, and basketballs and footballs...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! It's America's pastime! Working with Coach Z is always so great! He's such a-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot? Moron? Crap for brains? Creep? You know, Homestar, I saw Coach Z coming out of Marzipan's house the other day...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait. Really? You did?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Little known fact: Homestar gained a hundred pounds and shrank two feet for this role.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. Oh yeah, oh yeah, this is the scene that has subliminal advertisement! Watch, if you see that X, it ends up going between the E and the Z, which means that it...uhm...is easy...does it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Pfft! You look so great in that lederhosen, Homestar. Shall we start calling you Homestar von Runnerberger or something?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I look great in that stuff!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was ''my'' lederhosen...

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so he crapped and crapped and crapped and crapped and crapped all over that rock.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey! That only happened once!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was ''my'' rock... uh, it always kind of bugged me how you could never get your grammar right here, Homestar. "I think I ''has'' the solution?" What's that mean?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and I don't care what anybody says, but that bird is hot. I'll tell you that right now. A fine looking bird. Oh, here comes my favorite part! Oh ho ho! That's so great! That's a great one, Homestar! Classic!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? What'd I do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You hit me in the face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I know! It's America's pastime!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I hate it when Pom Pom floats like that. It gives me the creeps, you know. I don't trust that guy any farther than I can throw him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, then you must trust Pom Pom a whole lot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? You guys were doing pretty good at this point. You hadn't lost any men. Had you found a diamond ring yet?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah, I think we found a diamond ring and some platinum bars and a couple bags of gold.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Homestar}'' Oh come on, let's do it for Marzipan!

''{Homestar laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Well, I already got Marzipan a present.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, keep it up, Strong Bad! I DO sound funny! Who's that? Oh, wait.

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, now before you guys start, I've got to say, in my defense, that I never wore a pair of oven mitts in my life, OK? Those have ''obviously'' been added in later on using the most advanced computer magic available. All right?

''{Homestar starts laughing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I'm serious!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at Marzipan. She's funny lookin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, what a hottie.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, this scene is my pride and joy. I wrote this whole song all by myself. Well, except for the lyrics. And, uh, the music.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah, I got an idea for you: jump. OK, Homestar, where the crap are your legs in this scene?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, Homestar wasn't in this scene. That was a sophisticated puppet that I'm operating with one of my hands at... offscreen?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah, I remember that. They had to replace me because I didn't have any legs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pwahahahaha! OK, I lied, man. THIS is my favorite part of the whole cartoon. Hahaha. Oh look at him. His head looks like one of those things on a cow. ''(gasping for breath)'' You know the part, where the milk comes out.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, that was a sophisticated bladder system that I operated off-screen with a belt—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? Bwahahahaha! Oh man, that's so great! And now he's bleeding! Hohoho! Like some stupid bleeding baby.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, this, I feel, is your strongest role. It's like your every delicate intonation and gesture helps to weave this rich subtext of despair and wisdom.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh wow. Thanks Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? Did you just say something to me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know how the two of you managed to get his, fat, ugly butt up there.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, don't worry. We had, like, twelve other guys underneath us helping.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Haha, it is a, a fat butt isn't it? It's ugly too.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now this was my time to really shine in the cartoon, so I used a bit of method acting to apply some of my own personal experiences to the scene. ''{snoring in the background}'' And I remembered this time back in school where, all of a sudden, everybody started being real nice to me, and I though it was 'cause I started wearing this t-shirt that said "I'm #1" on it, but it turns out it was all just because I had a pool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wakes up}'' Hmm? What? Huh? What's going on? Oh, Strong Sad is stupid and Homestar is dumb. OK, Homestar, I've gotta ask, do you ever remember your lines? Because you're always going "uhm, uh, uhm, uh OK, OK, uhm."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... yeah, I think I remembered this one line, one time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a big door.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a fake turkey. That's a fake invisible turkey.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Marzipan really scares me when she's angry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, ouch. You know, Marzipan has really nice hands.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I suppose she does.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you know those little guys creep me out, man. Like, I'll have nightmares where there's like a thousand of those little scorpions crawling all over me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah yeah yeah, or like that thing from Yar's Revenge, and, like, you wake up, and it's nibbling on pieces of you falling off in squares.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I dream of my own death. Over and over and over and over and over and over ''{fades out with him continually repeating it}''

''{Homestar sticks his head in front of the screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody, it was a preview.

== Deleted Scenes Transcripts ==
=== Original Danger ===
'''CAPTION:''' Deleted Scene #1: This scene was to be used as one of the perils that Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad faced on their journey to find the Yello Dello. Homestar's foul mouth kept it out of the final cut.

''{Cut to scene from the Atari game Barnstormers. Homestar is piloting a biplane with Strong Sad and Pom Pom as passengers, and runs it into a barn four times, then pulls up and runs into a couple birds}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!

=== Coach Z's Office ===
'''CAPTION:''' Deleted Scene #2: Coach Z's office wasn't always the locker room. Watch and learn. And be disturbed.

'''COACH Z:''' Step into my office.

''{Cut to the showers. Homestar is seen from the back, naked except for a showercap, while Coach Z is fully clothed.}''

'''COACH Z:''' So, tell me what's the matter. ''{claps three times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well...

=== Strong Mad ===
'''CAPTION:''' Originally cast in the role of Strong Bad, was Strong Mad. Despite a stellar performance, it was later decided that his oven mitts were too big, so the role went to Strong Bad.

''{Cut to Strong Mad and Marzipan standing in Marzipan's garden.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE YELLO DELLO...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' YELLO DELLO...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What did you say? Mello Yello?

'''STRONG MAD:''' The Yello Dello...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' Uhhhh... Homestar...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm Marzipan.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*When Coach Z talks to Homestar Runner about not just getting Marzipan a flower, but getting a special flower, Homestar's star has unusual lines across it. Star shapes are sometimes drawn this way so that the shape can easily be drawn symmetrically. This symbol is called a pentacle.
*If you go to the third deleted scene, the one where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role, you can see that Strong Mad has a [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] tattoo on his right arm. Also, he has a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
* The flower that Marzipan is watering is made in the likeness of the flower given by Homestar in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.

=== Goofs ===
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version
*The link to the storyboards do no longer work

=== Inside References ===

*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into a bird or something, Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[Ducks|duck]] away from me!" This is a reference to what Strong Bad says on [[Main Page 13]], or vice versa.

=== Real-World References ===
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html|?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]. The scene with the scorpion is also from the classic Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html|?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall].

*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|"In Search Of"]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek's]] [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).

*The menu theme being obnoxiously loud is a reference to Pitfall 2, in which it played all through the game incredibly loud for an Atari. The menu theme is also the same as Pitfall 2's.

* H2-OH! is a bottled water brand.

* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"

* The character from [[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]] that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.

You'd be clobbered! You've gotta stick and move and zig and zag to get past the defenses, so youse can score! ''{Blackboard writing forms a skull and crossbones}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But Coach, I don't understand! ''{Homestar's mouth simply stays open through the entire sentence here}''

'''COACH Z:''' Don't just get her a flower. ''{Scene showing Homestar giving Marzipan a regular flower; flower droops.}'' Get her some rare flower from the tallest mountain! ''{Scene showing Homestar at the top of a mountain with a rare flower wearing lederhosen}'' That way she knows how much she means to yahse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Coach! ''{Levitates and flies away to the sound of squealing tires}''

'''CAPTION:''' So he thought and thought... Until finally...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I has the solution! The Yello Dello!

''{Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homestar are about to set out on their journey}''

'''CAPTION''': And So Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad set out in search of the Yello Dello...

'''CAPTION:''' Encountered many dangers...

''{Homestar swings over the alligators}''

'''CAPTION:''' Until at last they reached their destination...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, come on, guys, lets do it for Marzipan!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I already got Marzipan a present and I don't really think that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. We do it for Marzipan.

{''Cut to Marzipan watering some flowers with a watering can that says "H2Oh!".''}

'''CAPTION:''' Meanwhile...

''{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing what appear to be oven mitts}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday. You wanna know what I got you? NOTHING!

''{Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's rudeness but cheers herself up by thinking about the Yello Dello}''

''{Back to our heroes at the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack wiggles next to them}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ok, we got it. Now let's go home and get ready for the party.

''{Marzipan's house is decorated with balloons (on the mailbox) and a big banner reading "happy birthday marzipan" Marzipan hops around a bit by her mailbox then walks over to her house. She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad, and Homestar, who is holding chicken on a platter}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Birthday!

''{Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello, screams and slaps Homestar. Hard. The unharmed Yello Dello pops out of a giftbox.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But you guys will do it because you're my friends, right? OK, any questions?

{''Strong Sad raises his hand''}

''{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing what appear to be oven mitts}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{surprised}'' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh hi, Strong Bad. Are those my oven mitts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No! These are my training gloves...probably... Uhh, anyways, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{drops watering can}'' Yello Dello?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You wanna know what I got you?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My oven mitts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' NOTHING!

''{Strong Bad leaves. Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's rudeness but cheers herself up by thinking about the Yello Dello}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' {''happily''} Oh, my very own Yello Dello!

''{Marzipan imagines the Yello Dello wearing a gardener's outfit}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' She can assist me with my gardening!

''{The Yello Dello is seen eating something pink out of what looks like a clam shell on top of the mountain. The camera moves slightly down the mountain where Homestar appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' HELLO! YELLO!

''{Strong Sad appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO!

''{Pom Pom appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO! ''{stops singing}'' All right, you guys, any ideas?

''{Pom Pom nods, and pulls out a pistol, which makes a clicking noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I kinda wanted to take her alive, Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom shrugs, then tosses the pistol off the side of the mountain. Strong Sad raises his hand}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH! OH! OH! I have the best idea! You guys stay here.

''{Homestar peeks over the peak of the mountain, where we see the Yello Dello's legs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dello. Would you mind coming with us? You see, it's—

''{The Yello Dello starts pecking Homestar furiously on the head. Homestar retreats back to the others all lumped up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, that didn't work.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raising his hand again}'' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... sooo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...of what to try...

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have an idea—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...next.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I ha—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OH! OH! OH! I've got an even BETTER idea!

''{Homestar peeks over the peak of the mountain again, this time behind the Yello Dello}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Dello. Would you mind coming with us? You see, it's—

''{The Yello Dello once again pecks Homestar furiously on the head, causing Homestar to once again retreat to his friends. Homestar is now lumped up and bleeding from under his cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK. Uh, Pom Pom, hand me that gun.

''{Pom Pom produces another pistol to hand to Homestar}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, wait, Homestar, I really have an idea that I think will work and we won't have to shoot the Yello Dello with that gun.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Sad! How long have you been standing there?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I've been here pretty much the whole time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh I ''bet'' you have. Let's hear your idea.

''{Cut back to the top of the mountain. We see the Yello Dello standing there once again. From the bottom of the screen, we see a pillar consisting of Pom Pom, Homestar, and Strong Sad rise itself up to the Yello Dello}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, excuse me, Mrs. Dello, I don't mean to bother you. I just wanted to tell you a story about a little, grey, fat kid that nobody liked.

''{Closeup on Homestar and Pom Pom. We continue to hear Strong Sad speak}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid had two horrible brothers.

''{Some time later, Homestar and Pom Pom have fallen asleep, and Strong Sad is still talking}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' In fact, there was this one time where they took his underpants and filled it with bologna.

''{Cut to long shot featuring the silhouettes of Strong Sad, Homestar, Pom Pom, and the Yello Dello}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then there was the time they took the only thing precious to him in the whole world, his journal...

''{More time passes. It's now night, and the Yello Dello is sleeping as well. Strong Sad is STILL speaking}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and they read his poems aloud to all the children and they laughed and laughed...

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom dozing again, and Homestar wakes up with a start, and gets up behind Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the little grey fat kid was—
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Strong Sad... Strong Sad!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Sorry.

''{Back to our heroes at the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack making snoring noises sits next to them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{visibly tired}'' Ok, uhm... nice work you guys. Uhm... let's uh... let's go... um... home.

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. We see Marzipan walking up to her door.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' {''singing to herself''} I'm getting the Yello Dello... yeah yeah yeah...

''{She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad, Homestar, Coach Z, and Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG SAD, HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z, AND STRONG MAD:''' Happy birthday!
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Happy freakin' birthday!

''{Homestar hands Marzipan a roast chicken. Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, how awful! Homestar, how could you?!

''{Marzipan slaps Homestar so hard across the face that the chicken flies out of his hands and across the room.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is the worst birthday I've ever had...

''{Marzipan walks off in a huff. The unharmed Yello Dello pops out of a giftbox.}''

'''YELLO DELLO:''' Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

''{Cut back to outside the house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I guess I just don't understand the ladies...

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I think what he means is "I'm the dumbest guy on the planet. Here's some proof!"

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, let's begin!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, let's begin. What the crap kind of freaked-up sport are you guys playing anyway? I mean, you're on a football field, but you've got a basketball goal, and basketballs and footballs...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! It's America's pastime! Working with Coach Z is always so great! He's such a-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Idiot? Moron? Crap for brains? Creep? You know, Homestar, I saw Coach Z coming out of Marzipan's house the other day...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait. Really? You did?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Little known fact: Homestar gained a hundred pounds and shrank two feet for this role.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. Oh yeah, oh yeah, this is the scene that has subliminal advertisement! Watch, if you see that X, it ends up going between the E and the Z, which means that it...uhm...is easy...does it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Pfft! You look so great in that lederhosen, Homestar. Shall we start calling you Homestar von Runnerberger or something?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I look great in that stuff!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was ''my'' lederhosen...

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so he crapped and crapped and crapped and crapped and crapped all over that rock.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey! That only happened once!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was ''my'' rock... uh, it always kind of bugged me how you could never get your grammar right here, Homestar. "I think I ''has'' the solution?" What's that mean?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and I don't care what anybody says, but that bird is hot. I'll tell you that right now. A fine looking bird. Oh, here comes my favorite part! Oh ho ho! That's so great! That's a great one, Homestar! Classic!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? What'd I do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You hit me in the face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I know! It's America's pastime!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I hate it when Pom Pom floats like that. It gives me the creeps, you know. I don't trust that guy any farther than I can throw him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, then you must trust Pom Pom a whole lot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? You guys were doing pretty good at this point. You hadn't lost any men. Had you found a diamond ring yet?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah, I think we found a diamond ring and some platinum bars and a couple bags of gold.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Homestar}'' Oh come on, let's do it for Marzipan!

''{Homestar laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Well, I already got Marzipan a present.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, keep it up, Strong Bad! I DO sound funny! Who's that? Oh, wait.

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, now before you guys start, I've got to say, in my defense, that I never wore a pair of oven mitts in my life, OK? Those have ''obviously'' been added in later on using the most advanced computer magic available. All right?

''{Homestar starts laughing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I'm serious!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at Marzipan. She's funny lookin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, what a hottie.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, this scene is my pride and joy. I wrote this whole song all by myself. Well, except for the lyrics. And, uh, the music.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah, I got an idea for you: jump. OK, Homestar, where the crap are your legs in this scene?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, Homestar wasn't in this scene. That was a sophisticated puppet that I'm operating with one of my hands at... offscreen?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah, I remember that. They had to replace me because I didn't have any legs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pwahahahaha! OK, I lied, man. THIS is my favorite part of the whole cartoon. Hahaha. Oh look at him. His head looks like one of those things on a cow. ''(gasping for breath)'' You know the part, where the milk comes out.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, that was a sophisticated bladder system that I operated off-screen with a belt—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? Bwahahahaha! Oh man, that's so great! And now he's bleeding! Hohoho! Like some stupid bleeding baby.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, this, I feel, is your strongest role. It's like your every delicate intonation and gesture helps to weave this rich subtext of despair and wisdom.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh wow. Thanks Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? Did you just say something to me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know how the two of you managed to get his, fat, ugly butt up there.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, don't worry. We had, like, twelve other guys underneath us helping.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Haha, it is a, a fat butt isn't it? It's ugly too.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now this was my time to really shine in the cartoon, so I used a bit of method acting to apply some of my own personal experiences to the scene. ''{snoring in the background}'' And I remembered this time back in school where, all of a sudden, everybody started being real nice to me, and I though it was 'cause I started wearing this t-shirt that said "I'm #1" on it, but it turns out it was all just because I had a pool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wakes up}'' Hmm? What? Huh? What's going on? Oh, Strong Sad is stupid and Homestar is dumb. OK, Homestar, I've gotta ask, do you ever remember your lines? Because you're always going "uhm, uh, uhm, uh OK, OK, uhm."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... yeah, I think I remembered this one line, one time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a big door.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a fake turkey. That's a fake invisible turkey.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Marzipan really scares me when she's angry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, ouch. You know, Marzipan has really nice hands.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I suppose she does.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you know those little guys creep me out, man. Like, I'll have nightmares where there's like a thousand of those little scorpions crawling all over me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah yeah yeah, or like that thing from Yar's Revenge, and, like, you wake up, and it's nibbling on pieces of you falling off in squares.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I dream of my own death. Over and over and over and over and over and over ''{fades out with him continually repeating it}''

== Theatrical Trailer Transcript ==
'''CAPTION:''' This PREVIEW has been approved for EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY! by the Motion Picture Guy of Free Country USA.

'''PREVIEW GUY:''' ''{voiceover}''DEEP IN THE DARKEST JUNGLE... ''{Camera lunges forward}'' LURKS A CREATURE SO FEROCIOUS... ''{Camera lunges forward}'' ONLY ONE MAN CAN TAME IT...

''{The Camera lunges forward again and we find Homestar Runner wearing a pith helmet. The music comes to a grinding halt.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

''{The theme to In Search of the Yello Dello starts playing}''

'''PREVIEW GUY:''' ''{voiceover}'' THIS SUMMER, THE SEARCH IS ON

''{Cut to screen that looks like the original Title Screen for In Search of the Yello Dello}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No seriously, what? And what am I wearing this hat for?

''{Cut to theatrical credits.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, it's a PREVIEW. Oh, now I get it.

'''CAPTION:''' A Homestar Runner Cartoon — In Search of the Yello-Dello 
Starring Homestar Runner Pom-Pom Strong Sad 
Marzipan Coach Z and Strong Bad 
Voices by Missy Palmer and Matt Chapman 
Written, Animated, and Produced by 
The Brothers Chaps

''{Homestar sticks his head in front of the screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody, it was a preview.

== Deleted Scenes Transcripts ==
=== Original Danger ===
'''CAPTION:''' Deleted Scene #1: This scene was to be used as one of the perils that Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad faced on their journey to find the Yello Dello. Homestar's foul mouth kept it out of the final cut.

''{Cut to scene from the Atari game Barnstormers. Homestar is piloting a biplane with Strong Sad and Pom Pom as passengers, and runs it into a barn four times, then pulls up and runs into a couple birds}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!

=== Coach Z's Office ===
'''CAPTION:''' Deleted Scene #2: Coach Z's office wasn't always the locker room. Watch and learn. And be disturbed.

'''COACH Z:''' Step into my office.

''{Cut to the showers. Homestar is seen from the back, naked except for a showercap, while Coach Z is fully clothed.}''

'''COACH Z:''' So, tell me what's the matter. ''{claps three times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well...

=== Strong Mad ===
'''CAPTION:''' Originally cast in the role of Strong Bad, was Strong Mad. Despite a stellar performance, it was later decided that his oven mitts were too big, so the role went to Strong Bad.

''{Cut to Strong Mad and Marzipan standing in Marzipan's garden.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE YELLO DELLO...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' YELLO DELLO...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What did you say? Mello Yello?

'''STRONG MAD:''' The Yello Dello...

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' Uhhhh... Homestar...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm Marzipan.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*When Coach Z talks to Homestar Runner about not just getting Marzipan a flower, but getting a special flower, Homestar's star has unusual lines across it. Star shapes are sometimes drawn this way so that the shape can easily be drawn symmetrically. This symbol is called a pentacle.
*If you go to the third deleted scene, the one where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role, you can see that Strong Mad has a [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] tattoo on his right arm. Also, he has a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
* The flower that Marzipan is watering is made in the likeness of the flower given by Homestar in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.

=== Goofs ===
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version

=== Inside References ===

*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into a bird or something, Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[Ducks|duck]] away from me!" This is a reference to what Strong Bad says on [[Main Page 13]], or vice versa.

=== Real-World References ===
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html|?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]. The scene with the scorpion is also from the classic Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html|?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall].

*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|"In Search Of"]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek's]] [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).

*[[Wikipedia:Mello Yello|Mello Yello]] (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] similar to [[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]].
**It could also be a potential reference to the song "Mellow Yellow" by [[Wikipedia:Donovan|Donovan]].

*The menu theme being obnoxiously loud is a reference to Pitfall 2, in which it played all through the game incredibly loud for an Atari. The menu theme is also the same as Pitfall 2's.

* H2-OH! is a bottled water brand.

* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"

*The Yello Dello's manner of eating is a reference to the Lucasarts adventure game LOOM, in which a seagull eats a clam in the same way.

* The character from [[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]] that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.

==FAQs==

===Cartoons & SB Emails===
*''Q. Are the emails Strong Bad answers real?''
:A. Yes, all of em. Except 'Mile.' The Cheat made that one up.
*''Q. How do I get my Strong Bad email answered?''
:A. Pure luck. (Or try renting 'Pure Luck' with Danny Glover and Martin Short.)
*''Q. Is there gonna be a full-length Peasant's Quest movie or what?''
:A. There already is one. Its 'full length' is 3 minutes.
*''Q. Where are all the old emails and cartoons?''
:A. Try the museum section. Just click on the H*R logo on any of the homepages. If you can't find a Strong Bad email, just use the sweet, sweet scroll buttons on the email menu to scroll down. Most of the emails mentioned in 'personal favorites' were made up, so don't look for those so much.
*''Q. I noticed a mistake or inconsistency in one of your cartoons!! AHHH!''
:A. It was either done on purpose or it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it.
*''Q. What the crap is 'fhqwhgads' from?''
:A. It's from the Strong Bad email called 'i love you'. The Cheat also made a music video bout it. Check out the Powered by the Cheat section for that.
*''Q. Where are Jumping Jacks and the wrestling one?''
:A. They were taken down temporarily. Much like Frosty, they'll be back again someday.
*''Q. Why come the 'Joy of Painting' cartoon on the Toons menu don't work?''
:A. Cause it's not a real cartoon. We just wanted to show Marzipan with an afro and a beard.
===Video Games of Distinction===
*''Q. There is a bug in the Games menu. My score never goes up.''
:A. The Games menu is a menu, not a real game. Try clicking on one of the ships to play a real game, some of which have working scoring systems.
*''Q. I am stuck in Peasant's Quest or Thy Dungeonman. Help!''
:A. Maybe search the web for walkthroughs or hints. That's what we do.
*''Q. Super Kingio Bros. is too hard. I can't even clear the first jump.''
:A. Keep trying. You might want to buy the Stragedy Guide.
*''Q. Where can I buy the Super Kingo Bros. 'Stragedy Guide?' ''
:A. Keep trying. You might want to buy the Stragedy Guide strategy guide.
*''Q. No seriously, what is the deal with Super Kingio Bros?''
:A. Okay you caught us. It was meant as a joke and you can't play it beyond the first screen. You get the persistence prize.
*''Q. Level 27 of Trogdor: Intentionally unbeatable?''
:A. Non. Just broken. We fixed it just for you.
===Products===
*''Q. Will there be more DVDs? Like, ones with other cartoons on em?''
:A. Yeah! Totally. Totally yeah.
*''Q. Are them puppets for sale?''
:A. Nossir, they's one of kind.
*''Q. I have questions about an order I placed or want to place. Who I talk to?''
:A. Head on over to store.yahoo.com/homestarrunner and click on either 'Returns, Exchanges, and Refunds' or 'Customer Service and Order Processing.'
*''Q. So wait, you guys make a living just by selling this crap?''
:A. Yup. Merch sales are fortunately enough to support ourselves and the site. Rock, rock on.
===Tech support===
*''Q. Who does your hosting?''
:A. The fine folks at Sagonet.com. They set us up real nice.
*''Q. Some cartoons or games won't load on my 'puter! What gives?''
:A.Make sure you have the latest version of the Flash player from Macromedia.com. That usually helps.
*''Q. Your updates don't show up and I cleared my cache and hit refresh even!''
:A. Your internet provider might need to refresh their DNS or something like that. Leastways, that's what we've been told.
*''Q. You dudes use Windas or Mac?''
:A. We use Windows machines except for video and DVD stuff. That's done on a Mac.
*''Q. Who does the voices for your dumb animal characters?''
:A. Matt does all the voices 'cept Marzipan, that's Missy. Mike does the voices when the Cheat makes his own cartoons.
*''Q. How do you make your cartoons? Like what software and hardware?''
:A. We draw and animate everything in Flash. We run a mic through a USB preamp and record sound in Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro). Most of the music we make with old Casio keyboards or worse.
*''Q. I need help making my own Flash cartoons. Any advice?''
:A. Flashkit.com is a good resource for Flash help. Also, the 'Visual Quickstart Guide' series of books on Flash are great.
*''Q. Will you link to my website?''
:A. There's no real place for that sorta thing on our website. We link to a couple sites here and there but only when it's appropriate.
*''Q. Can I hire you guys to make a special cartoon for me?''
:A. Homestar keeps us busy enough that we don't have time for freelance or personalized stuff. Thanks for thinking of us though.

*The activity is based on the stylized "Everybody! Everybody!" wallpaper in the [[Downloads]] section.


===Glitches===
*If you go to the SWF File for the FAQ, near the right side of the screen (outside the black border) there appears to be a clickable (but invisible) box, although it doesn't seem to activate any easter eggs.

*''Q. Can I hire you guys to make a special cartoon for me?''
:A. Homestar keeps us busy enough that we don't have time for freelance or personalized stuff. Thanks for thinking of us though.

[[Image:main22.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Drop a train on 'em!]]

Main Page featuring [[virus]] Homestar, The Virus, and glitches abound.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Virus]], [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], [[Old Man]], [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[Monte Negro]]

'''Place:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' Edgar

'''Page title:''' "Drop a train on em!"

'''Date:''' December 5, 2004

==Button Effects==
*'''Toons''' — The museum button falls down to the bottom of the screen and takes out some words on the navbar. Mousing over a second time returns it to its normal location.
*'''Games''' — The right side of the table turns black and has a red wireframe grid on it, while the [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing sign]] turns into HTML code. Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the old man fishing. Mousing over a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''Characters''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] (possibly a clip from the song "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi) and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''Downloads''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen saying "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!" and "Make millions doing nothing!!" with [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] saying [[fhqwhgads]] (in [[Visor Robot]]'s voice) on "Make millions doing nothing!!", along with Cory from the [[That a Ghost]] toon, and [[Monte Negro]] on "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". The sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] appears with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered," and eventually the startup screen for [[Edgarware|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by the Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed over Edgar's face and says, "Some of my buses."
*'''Store''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''Email''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the links it crushes.
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*You can never be directly linked to this page, you must manually click on the 22 in the Main Page selector.
===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System Is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different font and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font.
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked.
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page. The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons. Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [http://homestarrunner.com/main6x.swf Old Main Page 6], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds.
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".

===Glitches===
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Fan Stuff boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are, just like on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.
***Because of this glitch, you can see a quirky thing happen when you click the quote of the week button. For a Split second you will be able to see Homestar's face and a short blurb saying "Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."
****A previous version of the Quote of the Day page read "Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!". It was changed sometime in mid-April 2005, probably the 15th (the date reported in the "Last-Modified" HTTP header for qod.swf). The reason for the change is as yet unknown.
*When Peasant's Quest appears, you can still click on the covered "First Time Here" link and the hidden area of the What's New button.
*There is a sound glitch in the characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts University|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*"Drop a train on 'em!" is what [[Strong Bad]] said when he ran [[Edgarware]] in [[virus]].
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
* When Bubs says 'some of my buses', this is a reference to [[Strong Bad Email]] #87, [[mile]].
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].
*The left part of screen show by unlighting the game button is from [[Peasant's Quest]]
