[[File:Santaman2.png|thumb|He's comin' to town to cut your whole family down!]]
"'''{{PAGENAME}}'''" is the jazzy [[Songs|theme song]] of the knife-wielding robotic [[Santaman|Santam'n]] that threatens [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] and [[Firebert]] in [[Dangeresque Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Hijack]]. It is sung by [[Homestar Runner]], and plays through the Santam'n toy's built-in music player. The entire first verse is later heard in the toon's [[Easter egg]]. A extended version of the song, with three more verses, was posted to [[@StrongBadActual]] for the 2018 holiday season, one year later. It is included on the streaming version of [[Hooked on Decemberween]] and {{Decemberweenvent Calendar|day|20}}.

[[File:Dweenvent Santam'n Sheet Music.png|thumb|Sheet music]]
Oh, Santam'n is a blade man 
He's comin' for you to chop you in two 
Santam'n is a blade man 
He's comin' to town to cut your whole family down 

Santam'n is a blade man 
He's sharpened his knives and he's not slicin' pies 
Santam'n is a blade man 
Here he comes down the lane to cleft you in twain 

And when he shows up he'll make breakfast with his friends 
So I'd just lay low 'til this part ends 
Hey, you might make it out alive! 

Oh, Santam'n is a blade man 
He doesn't have toys, just that blade "shing!" type noise 
Santam'n is a blade man 
He's comin' to town to cut your whole family down

==Fun Facts==
*Santa being referred to as a blade-man is a reference to the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] episode featuring ''[[Wikipedia:Santa Claus Conquers the Martians|Santa Claus Conquers the Martians]]''.
**This line was previously referenced by [[Coach Z]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[personal favorites]].
*[[Pie]] and [[breakfast]] are mentioned.
*In the initial Tweet, the song is referred to as "Santam'n is a Blade Man". On the [[Hooked on Decemberween]] album, this song was originally referred to as "Santaman Is Blademan", and was later changed to "Santaman is a Blademan". The Decemberweenvent Calendar calls it "Santam'n Is A Blademan".

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest program that he's been running. [[The Brothers Chaps]] sometimes comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear), and most are obscure titles from the '80s and '90s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances, they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been superseded by newer data storage methods such as USB flash drives or cloud storage.

Different alien races (including Human) could be chosen to use, who all had different abilities and fighting styles. The player could purchase weapons and devices and fight his way through multiple opponents to face the Fatman, Mondu. Some of the more innovative features include being able to place wagers on the outcome of the fight and the phenomenon of a special move becoming less powerful the more it's used to balance gameplay. Unfortunately, the game was plagued by unresponsive controls and an overtly high difficulty. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,1067/ MobyGames] [http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/data/31897.html GameFAQs] [http://hotud.org/component/content/article/43-action/20859 HotU]

It was originally an ASCII art game, where Jake Peril, the main character, was simply a $ sign (The enemies were ¶'s). The object of the game was to win back treasures stolen by the Evil Empire. It was eventually re-released on the Apple II as ''Miner'' with much more advanced graphics. ''Miner'' was submitted to Brøderbund and was finally published, under the name 'Lode Runner'.

Bobbin Threadbare, the mysterious "Loom child" and member of the Weaver Guild, must embark on a perilous journey to follow his guild members, who were turned into swans and flew away from the Loom island. All puzzles are solved using a variety of spells cast from a magical staff, with no traditional inventory. There weren't actually 24 disks, at least not for the original version. This is actually a reference to the "Stump Joke" from another famous Lucasfilms Game "The Secret of [[#monkey island|Monkey Island]]", wherein the user would be prompted to "insert disk 24", which did not exist. There was the option of six 5.25" Double Density (360KB) disks, or three 3.5" Double Density (720KB) floppies. Loom was also later released on CD-ROM with a bonus soundtrack disc bundled with Creative brand sound cards.

This basketball game is a faithful translation of the real thing, with fouls and traveling calls, free throws, a three-point line, and even a shot clock. There are a number of gameplay options — play for a certain amount of time or first to a set score, winner's or loser's outs, etc. Players have a fatigue bar that decreases when running around and replenishes when holding still; fatigued players don't move as quickly.

Based on the opera Ring of the Nibelungen (itself based on tales from the Norse mythology), ICON: Quest for the Ring is a "dungeon crawler" along the lines of Temple of Apshai, but with fully action-based combat, making it to one of the earliest action RPGs. The player navigates the hero through top-down environments heavily populated by hostile creatures. Standing near the enemy and pressing the attack button will make the protagonist swing the equipped melee weapon; ranged attacks require an additional directional key to execute. ||

Floppy Disk Container

JudgeDeadd — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:24:30 GMT

JudgeDeadd: changed "eden" explanation (an iOS Minecraft clone? Seriously? Unless I'm missing something)

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest program that he's been running. [[The Brothers Chaps]] sometimes comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear), and most are obscure titles from the '80s and '90s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances, they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been superseded by newer data storage methods such as USB flash drives or cloud storage. The 5.25 floppy disk was also featured in [[technology]], outside of the Floppy Disk Container. || [[Wikipedia:Floppy disk|Wikipedia]] [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Howstuffworks] [http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Accurite.com]

All puzzles are solved using a variety of spells cast from a magical staff, with no traditional inventory. There weren't actually 24 disks, at least not for the original version. This is actually a reference to the "Stump Joke" from another famous Lucasfilms Game "The Secret of [[#monkey island|Monkey Island]]", wherein the user would be prompted to "insert disk 24", which did not exist. There was the option of six 5.25" Double Density (360KB) disks, or three 3.5" Double Density (720KB) floppies. Loom was also later released on CD-ROM with a bonus soundtrack disc bundled with Creative brand sound cards.

Marketed by Interplay as a horror game, it was a 3D adventure game with some action thrown in, loosely based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The main character is driven to investigate a "suicide" in an old Louisiana mansion. Little does he know, however, of the lurking horrors that await him. This game features many enemies, few weapons, and one goal: Escape alive. It is the forerunner to many modern day horror games. ''Resident Evil 1'' in particular owes a lot to it in gameplay mechanics, player-view and setting. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,2/gameId,325/ MobyGames] [http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/data/11071.html GameFAQs] [[Wikipedia:Alone in the Dark (video game)|Wikipedia]] [http://hotud.org/component/content/article/38-adventure/25124-alone-in-the-dark HotU]

MOBILE: COMING SOON 
 
"I think it has to do with trees!" </blockquote>

*At the end, click on "my week" to see Strong Sad waking Strong Bad up for swim practice.

==Fun Facts==
=== Explanations ===
*"Snail mail" is a term that refers to the postal service, in comparison to the significantly faster email service.

===Trivia===

*In Biz Cas Fri, Homestar wears a shirt labeled 'Diskettes Etc.', while Strong Bad's has 'Micro Palace'.
*The Battle Axe flyer reads:
<blockquote>BAD AT 
BATTLE AXEING??? 
 
Come join 
Dolph Hauldhagen 
and learn professional 
techniques that will 
boost your confidence 
and deadliness. 
 
Community Rec Center     "The Instruc-TOR" 
Sat. 6am-9am                 Dolph Hauldhagen 
 
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BATTLE 
AXE AND AN EXERCISE MAT. 
 
555-4AXE{x9}</blockquote>
*Brian Holmes and 'Holmes' (from [[huttah!]]) are both from California.
*[[Dolph Hauldhagen]] is just [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] with a [[horned helmet]]. The battle axe is actually [[Puppet Stuff|Puppet Homestar]]'s stand, after being edited in Photoshop.
*The translator for Strong Bad's Polish email is the voice of [[Dan Kubis]], a friend of [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*The email was originally released without the translations.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Since Mondays are traditionally for email checking, Strong Bad explains what he does the rest of the week."

===Remarks===
*In the calendar, Monday is the first day of the week, which is the convention in some European countries. North American calendars usually begin weeks on Sunday.
*Strong Bad's advice to "make Piemonade" is a reference to the saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
*While talking about online gaming, Homestar Runner says, "I got so many frags". This suggests that he has been playing numerous [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooters]], in which a "[[Wikipedia:Frag|frag]]" is a kill.
*Strong Bad helps people "over the hump" on Wednesdays. Some people refer to Wednesday as "[[Wikipedia:Hump day|Hump Day]]" since it is in the middle of the week.
*The Cheat is seen cleaning the [[Tire]], suggesting that Strong Bad has temporarily disabled the [[Bear Holding a Shark]].
*At the end, The Paper comes down, but does not cover the first line of the email, as it does in other emails. (This is probably because the Strong Sad Easter egg on "my week" is on this line, and could not be covered up.)
*In the "my week" Easter egg, Strong Sad enters the basement empty-handed, yet he [[Hammerspace|somehow produces Strong Bad's swimming trunks]] from behind the couch.
*Strong Bad's mailbox says "sb_snailmail.exe".
*In the scene for biz caz fri at the office, Strong Bad appears to be typing with his hands sideways. In most emails that show his typing, he would be typing like a normal person.
*Strong Bad's polo has no buttons on it.
*In the voiceover accompanying Janus's email, Strong Bad's name is translated into Polish literally as "Silne Złe", which is rather incorrect (it is in the wrong [[Wikipedia:Polish grammar#gender|grammatical gender]]). A more proper translation would be "Silny Zły", which is in the masculine gender.

===Goofs===
[[Image:setteksiD .ctE.PNG|thumb|Homestar got his polo shirt from setteksiD .ctE!]]
*When Homestar says "so many frags" and is looking to the left, his torso is [[Flipped Images|flipped]], and consequently the buttons on his collar appear on the wrong side and "Diskettes Etc." appears backwards for a split second. However, this does not happen when he says "No, yeah, no?"
*When Strong Bad turns off the vacuum in Strong Badia, a patch is still visible behind the vacuum of the dirt cloud.
*When Strong Bad is vacuuming, his right eye is a lighter shade of green.

===Inside References===
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[couch mumbling]].
*The Office where "biz cas fri" takes place is the same as in [[dullard]] and the [[Senor Mortgage]] short, and the conversation is very reminiscent of that from "dullard".
*When Strong Bad mentions having to do community service for a prior arrest, it is likely a reference to the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The way that Strong Bad answers the Polish email is a likely reference to the email [[little questions]], in which he answers another foreign email.
*InstrucTOR is an instance of [[-or pronounced with a long O]].
*The glass of Piemonade is a [[Real-Live Foods|live-action drink]].
*The Polish email includes a reference of [[Please to be]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's intro song for this email (as well as for the snail-mail and the Eastern European email) is sung to the tune of ''[[Wikipedia:Oh! Susanna|Oh! Susanna]]''.
*When Strong Sad is waking up Strong Bad for swim practice, he mumbles various things, ranging from "I'll kill you" to the name of the classic [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] [[Wikipedia:Role-playing video game|RPG]], ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]''. The "I'll kill you" in the swim practice Easter egg is directed at [[Wikipedia:Magus (Chrono Trigger)|Magus]], a villain/party member in the game. ''(Also see Inside References.)''
**Janus, the name of the Polish email sender, is also a significant name in Chrono Trigger.
*The name of Strong Bad's other computer, "[[Block]]", is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Eastern Bloc|Soviet Bloc]]—the group of Eastern European nations which were under communist government.
*The style of voice-over during the Polish email is reminiscent of that used on Polish television, where foreign language programs are not dubbed with different actors, but instead [[Wikipedia:Voice-over translation|narrated entirely by a single actor]], usually male. Also, unlike American dubbing, in which the re-dubbed track replaces the original, Polish dubbing is laid on top of the original audio track, as the narrator's voice is here.
*The text on the battle axe lesson flyer which instructs you to bring your own axe and exercise mat is in the same [[font]] as [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden (band)|Iron Maiden]]'s name almost always appears ([http://www.abstractfonts.com/search/Metal%20Lord Metal Lord]). One of their first songs ever, "Invasion", released only on a four-track album of which 5000 copies were made, was about Viking invaders.
*Strong Bad's imitation of a robot seems to be a reference to Harry in the documentary "[[IMDB:tt0334405|Spellbound]]", a spelling bee contestant who spontaneously replies to a question from the interviewer in a robotic voice, and finishes off by saying "I-am-a-musical-robot. Do-I-sound-like-a-musical-robot?"
*"Stay smart, vacuum...dirt" may be based on "Be Smart! Don't Start!", a motto used in a series of '80s PSAs trying to discourage minors from drinking alcohol.
*The phone number for Brian Holmes, Certified Arborist (555-XYLM), is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Xylem|xylem]], the major water transporting tissue of vascular plants.
*Strong Bad's line "Again with the Dear Strong Bad..." is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Jerry Lewis|Jerry Lewis]]'s unique style of speaking.

===Fast Forward===

*"Biz Cas Fri" would be the subject of three Puppet Stuff features: [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]].
*Strong Bad's final payment notice is signed with Bubs's full name, which was revealed to be Bubs Concession Stand in [[Senorial Day]]. Here, "Bubs'" has an apostrophe, though as a possessive, which isn't seen in [[Senorial Day]].
*In [[Summer Short Shorts]], The Cheat is called "The Cheatasaurus" in the [[Powered By The Cheat]] clip.
*The Battle Axe Lessons flyer reappears in [[Lappynapped!]].
*In [[pizza joint]], Homestar shortens pepperoni to "p-roni", etc., similar to piemonade being shortened to "p-nade".
*According to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'', Strong Bad's house is actually [http://files.telltalegames.com/strongbad/screenshots/strongbad-3.jpg just off the screen to the left] when he's checking his snail mail.

Floppy Disk Container

JudgeDeadd — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 06:28:50 GMT

JudgeDeadd: added some HotU (and MG) links

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest program that he's been running. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear) and most are obscure titles from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been mostly replaced by compact discs and USB flash drives. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many modern computers replace the floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader. The 5.25 floppy disk was also featured in [[technology]], outside of the Floppy Disk Container. || [[Wikipedia:Floppy disk|Wikipedia]] [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Howstuffworks] [http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Accurite.com]

Bobbin Threadbare, the mysterious "Loom child" and member of the Weaver Guild, must embark on a perilous journey to follow his guild members, who were turned into swans and flew away from the Loom island. All puzzles are solved using a variety of spells cast from a magical staff, with no traditional inventory. There weren't actually 24 disks, at least not for the original version. This is actually a reference to the "Stump Joke" from another famous Lucasfilms Game "The Secret of [[#monkey island|Monkey Island]]", wherein the user would be prompted to "insert disk 24", which did not exist. There was the option of six 5.25" Double Density (360KB) disks, or three 3.5" Double Density (720KB) floppies. Loom was also later released on CD-ROM with a bonus soundtrack disc bundled with Creative brand sound cards.

Floppy Disk Container

JudgeDeadd: removed all underdogs links

'''The Floppy Disk Container''' sits on the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer desk and shows the latest game that he has been playing. [[The Brothers Chaps]] often comment on the featured game in their [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentaries. This page catalogs the appearances of the Floppy Disk Container. Each section has a screenshot, the name of the toon(s) or email(s) in which it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about said game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games (although several [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Atari 2600]] titles also appear) and most are obscure titles from the '80s. Strong Bad also [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] SNES games in his sleep, but these are generally newer and less obscure. This has become a running joke, and although the first Floppy Disk Container appeared in the email [[little animal]], the disks were not labeled until [[ghosts]]. They are usually labeled in red marker, though in some of the early appearances they were labeled in blue.

They were replaced by 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990s, which have since been mostly replaced by compact discs and USB flash drives. The first floppy-less personal computers were made by NeXT, and many modern computers replace the floppy drive with an 8-in-one memory card reader.

Unlike the previous games in the Zork franchise, which were text adventures, Return to Zork takes place from a first-person perspective and makes use of video-captured actors as well as detailed graphics; a point-and-click interface replaced the text parser for the first time in a Zork game. || [http://www.mobygames.com/game/return-to-zork MobyGames] [[Wikipedia:Return to Zork|Wikipedia]]

|| '''''Relentless''''' is a PC game made by Adeline Software International and first released at the end of 1994. It was also released as Little Big Adventure. The name of the game is an oxymoron. Little Big Adventure is viewed from a pseudo 3D isometric perspective (the game field is rotated 45 degrees). All characters and vehicles in the game, including some props in the world, are real 3D polygon-based objects, allowing for full rotation and movement abilities. || [[Wikipedia:Little Big Adventure|Wikipedia]]

JudgeDeadd: /**/Frog Eggs

== How exactly are they freed? ==
Sooo, does the KOT poop them out? Is it safe to assume that? - SCCakes
:considering the color of the gunk on strong bad at the end, i say no. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::I think it's one of those things best left to the viewer's imagination. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I'm fairly certain there's a reason the TBC and Strong BAd failed to explain what happened in detail....--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 20:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
== Death!??!?! ==

Is this the end of Pom Pom?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? -Alex H.
:Well, if Homestar escaped the [[Horrible Painting]] in [[Jibblies 2]], I'm sure Pom Pom can escape the vast emptiness of space. - [[User:OkayGraphics|OkayGraphics]] 14:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Nebulon first times ==

Thisis the first time we actually see Nebulon in a toon or sbemail, right? -Ein Poltergeist (not a dumptruck)
:If you don't count when he was [[PBTC]], then yes. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 14:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::i've added a remark for this. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 21:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:::'Cept for his debut: [[Main Page 1]]. How's that count? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::::well, it's still his first appearance in a cartoon/sbemail, so i don't think we should worry about his Main Page appearance. at least not with how i worded the remark. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 21:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Mention where Red Angelo comes from ==

Nobody has put this in yet, but, the Red Angelo and the other kids names commented on come from the urban legend of kids being named Orangejello and Lemonjello.

http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.asp

:I volunteer in a NBICU and I am sorry to say that there are actually people who have named their children this. [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 18:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::I know for a fact that I live about 10 miles away from Lemonjello and Orangejello. [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 19:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:This is claimed as fact in the book Freakonomics, so I put it in with a reference. I think it's pretty clear as a reference to the event itself, though whether or not they actually got it from Freakonomics is uncertain. Keep in mind, though, it's a recent bestseller that sold three million copies, so it's a likely source. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 15:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

::This story has been around waaay longer than Freakonomics. I heard it when I was a kid in the 80's. The Freakonomics text is very unlikely to be the source; why would the Chaps brothers mention another very common urban legend (the headlights flashed at a gangster car) at the same time unless they were referring to common urban legends.

:::Good point. I entered that just before I read the Snopes story about headlights, which I'd never heard before. Makes more sense now; Freakonomics was probably passing it along without knowing whether it was true or not just like everyone else. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 15:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Is this the first time the King of Town was actually USEFUL? ==

In Strong Bad's perspective, at least.-Thnikkafan

==New Animations==

two notable points.
1) as someone put somewhere in Fun Facts, bubs' arms are animated like coach z's were in [[Trogday 08]]. BUT!! they were already animated like this in [[nightlife]] and [[Happy Dethemberween]].
2) we've never, NEVER seen strong bad's mouth do what it's doing at the end of the email.
somebody should fit these into the remarks
--[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 15:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
: all i know, is that whoever wrote that fun fact failed to use english grammar rules or something. I read it 4 or 5 times and only have a guess as to what it means -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]] 17:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::i see what you mean. i didn't read it carefully the first time. well, since i now have time, i guess i'll just handle this bit myself. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
actually, i move that we no longer bother with mentioning the new animation style for bubs' arms, if not including this sbemail, than from now on. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. There's no point in mentioning it every time. --[[User:Foolster41|Foolster41]] 20:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Space station ==

At first I thought the space station in the space background was a copy of the one from [[Wikipedia:2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]. Then I looked up some images I realized that the original was a double wheel and not really that similar. The only striking feature they share is the "centrifuge wheel" design, which I imagine is not unique. Is there a station somewhere in sci-fi that looks more similar to this one? Something from Star Trek, maybe? (I browsed around [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Main_Page Memory Alpha], but nothing jumped out at me. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 15:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Flavors ==

If we don't have a running gag about flavors, we should. (If it already exists, I couldn't find it.) I thought about just "Color Flavors" but we also have water described as Malinko- and Strong Bad-flavored water (in [[rough copy]]). We have orange- and black-flavored from [[Malloween Commercial]], Bubs's sno-cone flavors, and the drinks in [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]]. Any name suggestions? Anyone is welcome to take this ball and run with it; I ain't so gung-ho about creating articles at the moment. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno, we could have an [[Unusual Flavors]] or a [[Flavor Variations]] section for things like the flavored water and the orange-and-black marshmallows, respectively, but I don't think normal flavors like grape, cherry, green apple, etc. deserve a mention outside of the articles about the food/drink.--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 19:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::[[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] created [[Color flavored]]. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Interesting. Without reading this discussion I made [[Color flavored]]. Modestly Ok minds think very closely, right? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::::In my defense, I was talking about flavors, not-color flavors. Still, my bad. Sorry.--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 19:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
== Highly Intellectual Property ==

Are there anymore instances of Strong Sad wearing the glasses he wears in this sbemail and [[rough copy]]. I'm wondering if they can be featured as a running gag.--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 19:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:didn't he also wear those in [[business trip]]? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::I don't think so. Those had legs, or whatever you call the part of the glasses that are held up by the ears. They might be a variation though. I haven't seen the DVD, but could someone who has tell me if they're the same glasses that are featured in [[Accent]]?--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 20:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Gel-Arshie ==

the jello marshie has a visible brain. worth mentioning? ---[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 20:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:I think a better place to bring this up would be [[Gel-arshie|here]].--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 20:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== State-shaped gelatin blob on Strong Bad? ==

Does anyone else see that Strong Bad has a glob of gelatin on his pants toward the end of the e-mail in the shape of the state of Florida? Or am I crazy? Is this worth a mention?
:I don't think it's worth a mention. We eventually decided not to note the smiley face-shaped globs of whatsit adorning the Hornblower in [[KOT's VOQPCS!]]. The notability requires intent, you see. It's likely coincidence. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::Definitely not a coincidence. It looks unmistakably like florida. It seems to me TBC are playing the hidden shapes game now, as this isn't the first time they've done this, and i bet we could find many more stated or whatnot in other places where blotchiness appear. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Inside reference is probably wrong. ==

It's probably not the first time this has happened. Anyways, I don't think that the comic was named for Real Mutants #87 (Obscure, I'm sure). I think it was named so because of the fact that it was email 1'''87'''. I'm sorry, obscure comic fanboys, but it's not true. Try again next time. - [[User:Eruption257|Eruption257]]

==Skateboarding==
I know he said it was imaginary, but wouldn't Strong Bad look cool skateboarding?[[User:Hooray4Trogdor95|Hooray4Trogdor95]] 02:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

==Bubs Evolution==
Am I crazy, or is Bubs undergoing anatha evolution stage? He looks a little different... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== Frog Eggs ==

The "Frog Eggs" reference seems to be too far-fetched for me. There's no real relation, apart from the two words. [[User:JudgeDeadd|JudgeDeadd]] 04:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

{{Subtitles Talk Archive}}

== Language requests ==
=== Dutch (NL) ===

Would you please add NL to [[Subtitles:Languages]]? --[[User:Pdedecker|Pdedecker]] 11:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
:I just saw that NL has been added, thanks! --[[User:Pdedecker|Pdedecker]] 18:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
::Oh yes, I forgot to post in this thread. You're welcome! Cheers! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

=== Finnish (FI) ===

I would be quite eager to start out with Finnish subtitling cartoons, as I have absolutely nothing to do after I get home from college (weird, huh?). So if someone would add Finnish there, it'd be much obliged. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 16:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
:You should be all set. Go crazy go nuts! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

=== Polish (PL) ===

What I said. [[User:JudgeDeadd|JudgeDeadd]] 04:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
:You should be good to go. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

=== Turkish (TR) ===

Could you add Turkish language to the subtitles, please? Peace at Home, Peace in the World [[User:85.107.249.107|85.107.249.107]] 11:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:I would be happy to, but tell me a little bit about yourself first. Do you intend to write the subtitles pages yourself, or do you just wish that Turkish was already available? If you mean that you're going to help write them, then why not [[Special:Userlogin|sign up for an account]]? It's free and has many benefits. On the other hand, if you just want to be able to read the site in Turkish, then we'll need to find a translator first. Please let me know. Talk atcha later! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
::Hello, do you remember me? Or an IP starts with 85? Don't remember? Then, look at subtitles requests and choose Turkish(TR) from the navigation menu? Yeah, I did what you say, and it passed some time, but I was looking continually the page whether a reply comes before you reply. And, that's your answer: I'm Turkish, and so, I can read and write Turkish subtitles. I know English, of course, but not all Turks. (Or some of them are know at least). Anyway, I want Turkish subtitles add to the list, and my goal is that HR cartoons have loved by Turkish kids, adults, and everyone. Is this wrong? Say if it is. Anymore, I already tested a SB Email cartoon. Look if you want. [http://subtitles.hrwiki.org/sbemail167/tr Here comes.] OK, I think it (my reply) is long enough. I talked you and if you want, you talk atcha later, too. Thanx. [[User:Homesturk|Homesturk]] 16:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Of course I remember you. Glad to see you created an account! I will enable the Turkish subtitles just as soon as I get a chance. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
::Turkish is now enabled. Start tranglin'! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

=== Italian (IT) ===

Italian is one of the most well-known languages in the world. I think it deserves subtitles. [[User:124.176.190.64|124.176.190.64]] 08:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:See below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

=== Japanese (JP) ===

This language is infamous for its bad translations into English - I think it deserves subtitles as well. I am also a fluent Japanese speaker. [[User:124.176.190.64|124.176.190.64]] 08:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:See below. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

=== Chinese (ZH) ===

Another popular language! [[User:124.176.190.64|124.176.190.64]] 08:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:We don't enable languages just because they're there. We have to have someone demonstrate that they're committed to working on translation. Why don't you [[Special:Userlogin|create an account]] and let us know what kind of input you can give and then we'll talk again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

== From Da Basement ==
''Copied from [[HRWiki:Da_Basement#Subtitles]]:''
<blockquote>

Some of us have started working on subtitling Homestar Runner Flash cartoons to make them accessible to a wider audience. I would like to know what the HRWiki folks think about this. Should this be a part of the knowledge base wiki? Should it be separate? Would you help? The subtitles are based on the transcripts from the wiki, so there is a strong connection already. The [http://hstarsubs.awardspace.com/ subtitles project] is still beta, but it should work with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Most subtitles have been donated by Phlip from an older project, and I and Elcool have done the international ones. Check it out and let us know.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: I personally know one person who'd be interested in that... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
::I strongly support having some way to intergrate the subtitles files into the wiki. As a non-native speaker sometimes I need to go over the wiki transcript just to see what a word or two means. This way , it's already inside the toon window itself. Also, we could open the door for people with hearing problems who still want experiance Homestar Runner like the rest of us. Some flash artists like Weeble from Weeble and Bob and the people behind Too Much Spare Time Animation have already added subtitles to some of their toons. So If TBC aren't going to do it themselvs, we are here for them. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: The .xml file for Exp Film's Commentary doesn't work. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
::Cheers, fixed the link. Also, listening to the commentary is currently not possible anyway, because of Flash security measures :-/ And I forgot to upload the experiment film subs, will have to wait until I'm back home.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
:::We need this in the [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]], pronto. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 02:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I showed it to the person I previously alluded. The biggest reason I got into H*R in the first place was because it allowed me to share the gift of Homestar with this person, who cannot hear. She says she likes the subtitled stuff better than the Wiki. "But no offense." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::Seriously, you just made my day :-D {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Deaf watchers, eh? I'd assume ''captions'', as opposed to ''subtitles'' would be more important then, yes? (For the uninitiated: subtitles transcribe the words, captions transcribe all the sound effects too.) {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Take 'em as they come. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, let's just say, hypothetically, I wanted to make one of these. How would I get the frame numbers to start/stop each line on? And how would I test it? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::We haven't quite worked out the standards for subtitles/captions yet, so the format may change a little. But if you want to try it now, then here's how you do it: You need Phlip's Firefox [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]]. This will give you a seek bar for Flash toons from Homestarrunner.com. It also displays the current frame number. Then you grab one of the XML files from the subtitle site, scoop it empty, and use it as a skeleton. You probably also want to copy the text of the transcript into this file and split it up into short sections or sentences that you want to display as one title. Then use the seekbar to find the first and last frame numbers for each of the sections. It gets easy after you've done it once or twice. And you get to know the toon pretty well. Also note that each character has his or her own colour code. I'll put a page online soon with some more detailed hints, and I'll come up with a way of testing the titles. — I'm still not sure where to put the page with instructions. Do people believe this should be an HRWiki project, or should it be separate? {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Aside from the frame numbers, I'd pretty much figured that all out. I have the beginnings of a [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] .xml file, but without frame numbers. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Sound promising :-) I'll come up with a test page soon(ish). And you've heard that before, but... you should really be on IRC ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::I've never successfully managed to join IRC when a useful conversation is taking place. Plus, I have issues getting to it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Alright you guys, I finished the .XML file for Cool Tapes. [[User:The Mu/subtitleCoolThings|Ding!]] ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 03:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there a talk page specifically for this project? I thought of some things to discuss, but we'd flood Da Basement. I think there should be some sort of central Wiki page for this project, even if it's in a User space. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
: I'm not in the mood for IRC right now, but I figured I'd give an update. I have all of the text in my .xml file. I do not, however, have any frame numbers past the three Coach Z/Pom Pom scenarios. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)<blockquote>
</blockquote>

== Translation Guidelines ==

<blockquote>Always start from the English subtitles. This saves a lot of time and work, because then, the frame numbers only have to be found once. Use the same <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> values for all languages.</blockquote>

Do we want to phrase it this way? I can imagine a scenario where this would lead to a poorer subtitling. First, if the English is not subtitled well, we're basically asking the translator to not improve it, which is, in a word, stupid. Second, there will be times when for the timing of a joke to work right, or for the reader to have sufficient time to read the subtitle, the <code>start</code> or <code>end</code> values may need to vary. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to word it. Thoughts welcome. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:I'm not sure how to respond to question. I can give you a hazy answer, at best. Generally speaking, it is MUCH easier for a translator to take the original subtitles XML page and simply reword the idea being expressed by the text. As least for most romance languages word placement (in grammar) is similar enough that the right timing for an english translation will correlate with the right timing for an adequate translation. That is, when something is said in the english subtitles, the same thing should be said in the <insert favorite foreign language here> translation. Most english subtitles also go by transcript (I beleive) so if the English transcript is well-written, a skilled translator should not have much trouble conveying the same idea. What's left would be improper timing in the original english subtitle. If that is the case, those subtitles would need to be re-timed (or words re-split). Any re-timings can be fixed in other translations, while re-splits can be notified with a {{tl|fixtranslation}} tag, and a note in each translation's discussion. Again, as for timings/splits having to be different across translations I consider that to be an unlikely occurrence, and not necessarily a serious impact in translation quality. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
:I have also added a note suggesting that the translated toon be watched in order to make sure that the translation went ok. I figure if any inconsistencies arise they can be caught there and the translator can choose to change index times if need be. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

== RTL Necessary? ==
I guess this is more of a viewer implementation issue, but, according to the text:
<blockquote>*If your language is written from the right to the left, put <code>dir="rtl"</code> in the opening <code><transcript></code> tag.</blockquote>
Isn't the RTL property a language-dependent property? If so, shouldn't that be permanently set in the [[Subtitles:Languages]] file? That way:
*Translators that need RTL don't need to "remember to add it" every time a new toon is translated.
*Anyone feeling funny won't put "RTL" in some english toons.
I'm also sure no language has text that is RTL and non-RTL. The only time that I'd see RTL be changed is if non-RTL text is inlined with a translation (in a different language) of RTL text (or vice versa), something H*R I doubt will ever see. This would mean a per-line optional RTL field for the viewer. Anyway. I just wanted to put that suggestion up if it's feasible, that way the line I quoted can also be removed. (That would save E.L. Cool some trouble too ;) ) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

::I think you're right, it's a per-language property. And it is actually possible to choose an alternate direction within a subtitles script using a tag. I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle of changing the code, though ;-) Let's see what Phlip says.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:::I was suggesting that the code handle both ways: the old and new, in order to avoid incompatibilities with existing transcripts, whereas allowing us to make newer sleeker ones! :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== doc.documentElement has no properties ==

That's what it says when I try to access the subtitles via the external viewer under the Error Console. [[User:76.184.199.4|76.184.199.4]] 23:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
:Which browser are you using? And which subtitles are you trying to see?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:34, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

::Firefox, and all of them. [[User:76.184.199.4|76.184.199.4]] 12:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

:::Blast! You're right, it's broken :-/ It's past bed time for me, so it'll have to wait for now. Thanks for letting me know. In the meantime, you could go ahead and install the [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]] for your browser. It displays subtitles flawlessly and has lots of other cool features (like a seek bar and a fullscreen mode).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 12:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

== More Visible? ==

Since the purported purpose of this project (nice alliteration) is to help those with difficulty understanding the toons, perhaps it would be better to make them more visible on the pages of individual toons, or perhaps put a link to subtitles on the main page of the wiki. I accidentally stumbled up subtitles the other day while going through the recent changes, and if I, an avid wiki user, didn't see them except by accident, they may be missing their intended audience. Just a suggestion, take it with as big a grain of salt as you need.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 22:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think that putting a link on the main page is an excellent idea. Where should it go? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
::Might I suggest a link under the "Browse the Knowledge Base" section, in the Miscellany subsection (if space allows)? Perhaps the title "Subtitled Toons" might be appropriate as well. Though a more prominent place might be more advisable. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

::I think this a great idea too. After looking through the various groupings of links on the main page, I didn't think it fit very well into any of the existing categories. So, maybe something separate, like including this somewhere on the main page:

:::''Want to enjoy Homestar Runner without sound? Check out our [[HRWiki:Subtitles|Subtitles project]].''

::That can probably be reworded better, though. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

:::I was thinking about the same section as Stux. And if we're '''really bold''', we could add subtitles links to new toons in the whatsnew section... We could also announce the subtitles project on the main page like Trey suggested for a few weeks maybe? '''Important:''' let me fix the external viewer before we make it more public.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
::::Do you mean alongside the "watch" link, adding a "watch with subtitles" link? If so, I was thinking of suggesting the same thing but refrained. The external viewer definitely needs to have the improvements that have been made to the userscript pulled over before we point people to it.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::I don't think it's necessary to put a link to each individual subtitles page of all the toons listed on the main page (especially since we prefer that people use the GM script). If we make the link to the project prominent enough, that should be plenty for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:11, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey Incompatibility with Newer Firefox Versions ==

Not so much a problem with the Greasemonkey script as with Greasemonkey itself. Right now I'm running Minefield 3.0a4, and Greasemonkey doesn't seem to like any versions higher than 2. Is there any simple way to fix this without resorting to the whole "unpack, edit version, repack" thing, or ''is'' that the simple way? LEMME NOES. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 01:19, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:I wasn't aware that GM even loads — I haven't tried Minefield yet. I assume you understand the implications of running alpha level software... one of them being can count on not everything working. (You can expect that from early ''betas'' even). Are you trying a similiarly bleeding-edge revision of GM? You could try using a copy direct from their development [http://svn.devjavu.com/greasemonkey/trunk/ source tree], might help.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 01:55, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
::The latest version still only works up to Firefox 2, but I tweaked the <tt>maxversion</tt> parameter and I'm good to go. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 04:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== Pop-Up Video ==

This subtitles project is super and awesome and super awesome. I was wondering what people would think about using the subtitles framework for a sort of pop-up video-type commentary track. For instance, the script could tell you where to click for Easter eggs, and maybe run short fun facts. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 15:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure the benefit would outweigh the expense on this one. What kind of mechanism did you have in mind for this? I dunno... We've done pretty well just listing Easter eggs and things on the wiki. Transcripts are pretty cut-and-dried most of the time, but including fun facts seems like it would just be opening us to having to argue about them in two places instead of one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
::I'm not sure what you mean by what kind of mechanism. The subtitle mechanism. What expense would there be? I'm willing to do them. And maybe not fun facts. This stemmed from the fact that I can never remember when to click to get the Easter egg while I'm actually watching the toon. I think it would be neat to have an automatic reminder come up. (Also, if I want to see where to click to get an Easter egg, it's in the same place as what the Easter egg contains so I'm spoiled for it.) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the compliment, Homestar Coder ^_^. I had actually thought about adding this kind of functionality for Easter eggs at the beginning of the project. I decided against it for several reasons: displaying popups over a Flash object is a much less stable solution than displaying text next to a Flash object. For example, it does not work at all under Linux. Accordingly, our Easter egg hints might often have to be lengthy descriptions on where to click. The timing for Easter egg hints would also have to be asynchronous to the timing of the subtitles, making our display code a little more complicated. Of course it's all technically possible, and probably not such a great deal to implement in a very simple and robust manner. How usable it would be is another question. I also believe that this would take away a great deal of the toons' charm. Easter eggs are supposed to be hard to find, and listing them in an article is already a great help. I suspect that making them even easier to find might make them somewhat boring. But that might just be me. I guess if I find some time in the next few hours, I could whip up a simple example where I replace the subtitles with Easter eggs and fun facts, just to see how it would be... I ''am'' curious.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Cool, thans for the response. I guess the pop-up thing was misleading; I don't want actual pop-ups showing where to click, just text saying "click the word egg!" or some such. There aren't all that many toons where the description of where to click is that long or difficult. And yes, the timing of Easter eggs is asynch to the timing of subtitles; I was always thinking it would be a separate track, so you couldn't have any subtitles on at the same time. As for removing the charm... well, I actually came up with this idea when I was catching up on my toon-watching, and realized I had two choices to make sure I saw all the Easter eggs: hold down tab during the whole toon (annoying) or reading it on the Wiki, which immediately spoils the joke (most of the Easter egg comments are stuff like "click on the word egg to see Homsar cracking an egg on his head!"). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::::That just proves that you're more of a coder than a user =3 I've added another variant of how to display an egg hint. Still not ideal... One thing that I noticed while coming up with the example was that fun facts are probably not going to work. They work well for music videos, but when you watch a toon, you will probably not want to read something that distracts you from what's going on.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 08:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I just put them in for completeness)... if they work in enough browser/font setups, perhaps we could use one of them instead of the ''(singing)'' tag in the subtitles... just a thought. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

===Whether to do it===
I'd advise sticking with plain-English "singing" as that's obviously cross-platform. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

== Localized templates ==

The [[Template:subtitles|subtitles template]] is good in English, yes. But let's be honest: not too many English-speaking people, albeit if they know the foreign language, are going to watch the toon with some other language subtitles. Mostly the international subtitles are made for the people that don't speak English that well, right? Then why wouldn't we make a instructions template in that very language, then? It's good of course to have it in English. But there could ''also'' be another version in the subtitles language. This way the people that really need the subtitles (non-English speaking people) would know exactly how to see them. Good/bad idea? I don't want to take the power over this in my hands, because you guys know better. Thanks! --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 06:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
:I agree that there should be instructions somewhere for people in their native languages, but I'm not sure that's the place to do it. Since this is an English-language wiki, it takes at least a passing knowledge of English just to reach those pages in the first place. I'm not opposed to the idea, though, if others think that's a good place for such instructions. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah, I agree — instructions someplace for people who want to ''watch'' a toon with non-English language subtitles would be good, but the template isn't the best place. For the most part, the people who will look at the individual subtitles pages are translators, who should already know English well.

::<div id="pfargtl">What about a line <s>near the top of [[HRWiki:Subtitles]]</s> on the [[Main Page]] that says something like,</div>

::Each page would have simple instructions on getting subtitles working, and probably some instructions on how to use the various options in the Greasemonkey script, etc.

::If we combine this with [[#More Visible?|adding a link to the subtitles project to the Main Page]], I think it could really help people get started watching Homestar Runner cartoons in their native languages.

:::I like that! Except that to get to that page, you would still need quite a spazzing English knowledge... Maybe a small boxie on the front page somewhere, leading to a quick introduction to the world of Homestar Runner and the wiki in each language (not exactly rewriting the wiki in some other language, just a few lines and a few lead characters, introducing Chapmans etc. - a ''summary'', if you like), combined with subtitles instructions and a list of the language's subtitles? So the users shouldn't be recycled through the Subtitles project page, just nice 'n' quick straight to business, you know? Just a thought. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 16:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Alright, it only took me three weeks to actually read this discussion ;-) I think you are bringing up a very good point, Sysrq. Instructions in different languages on how to watch the subtitles would definitely be helpful. We have to have a good think about where to put them and how much we translate. As you guys have said before, to come to any page concerning subtitles, one has to have some knowledge of English. Now, if we assume that those subtitles help viewers with no or very little knowledge of English, should we create non-English pages that serve as the homepage / start page / entry point for non-English speakers? It kind of makes sense. People can link to / visit these pages directly without having to navigate through an English wiki. However, these pages should be confined to explaining how the subtitles work. Otherwise, we run the risk of starting to translate the whole wiki, and that's a completely different project. The next question would be if and how we translate the viewers themselves. Currently, the menus and text for both viewers are in English. I remember Phlip saying that it would be technically complicated to do this for the greasemonkey script, although I can't find that discussion right now. My suggestion is as follows:
# Create custom start pages for each language that explains how to view subtitles.
# Create a page like [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List]] that links directly to the toons / external viewer instead of the subtitles scripts.
# Add a translated help link to the viewers that point to the custom start pages based on the language of the script currently used.
I think that should be enough to bypass the wiki for non-English speakers.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:I like it! The only thing I would add is a suggestion to add links to the translated help pages on the [[Main Page]] (something like [[#pfargtl|above]]) — sounds good! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
::Cool! I'm only now realizing that you already suggested most of the stuff I said ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Meh, it sounds clearer the way you said it ;) I'm going to throw together a mock subtitles instructions page so people can get a better feel of what it might be like... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
::::Just a suggestion for the summary, we could just use the [[Article Sightings|Wikipedia entries in other languages]] where possible for the introduction to the website. That would save some translation work. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::Okay, here's my version of the page that could be translated into other languages: [[User:Trey56/HRWiki:Welcome/LANGUAGE CODE]]. It needs a lot of work, and there are some incomplete sections. If anybody feels like editing it or making suggestions, go ahead. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::Looks a-pretty-pretty good! However, I have some thoughts: Firstly, maybe Translating Subtitles shouldn't be so high, if at all there. If a person that speaks English well enough to translate subtitles would stumble across this wiki, they probably wouldn't visit (or at least think the world of) a page like this. Secondly, I think there should be at least ''some'' information about the world of H*R. When I first went to Homestarrunner.com, even watching "First Time Here?" didn't help too much. It's the wiki that really cracked it open for me. So, just the basics: who are the characters, what do they do, who does the website etc. Much like a short version of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)]]. I wouldn't also too much worry about translating the greasemonkey UI. Finns are used to the kind of instructions like "Click on the button that says this and this", no matter what the language is. And Trey's thing explains every function quite satisfactory indeed. But anyways, awesome work Trey56, and let me know when this is shined up enough to start translating it! --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 06:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::Ooh, good ideas. Maybe I can move the "Translating Subtitles" below the Greasemonkey script instructions. Also, what you mentioned about an "About H*R" section is a wonderful idea. Do you think the Greasemonkey instructions should be trimmed down? They ''are'' excruciatingly long right now... Thanks for the great feedback! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::::I think it's only long because it's just an explanation on the check-marks. If we got rid of all the subheaders nad make it a bulleted list it will shorter in size. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::No, the greasemonkey section's awesome. It serves as a sort of a manual, like in a very expensive TV: it explains every single little feature, but you'll only probably read it if you're very bored or seeking info about something particular. And if we translate the greasemonkey instruction titles like "Feature name in LANGUAGE ''(Feature name in English)''", they can find it instantly. Move the Translation part after the greasemonkey instructions, and put a few paragraphs about H*R on its old place, and we'll be all set as far as I'm concerned. :) --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 06:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

== Sub viewers ==

I love the subtitles viewer. Our version of Firefox is too old to download the Greasemonkey script. But just one thing. [[Why Come|Why come]] there isn't a viewer for the toons not on the actual site? For instance, there is no local viewer link in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] or [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]] 22:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

:I guess it's a techincal limitation over how the viewer fetches the subtitle file, which is the page name on the Homestarrunner.com website. Or not. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 09:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

::Is it possible to add a viewer for these? [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]] 20:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Yes, it's possible and not that hard to do. I'm just currently really stretched for time. I'll put it on my long long list of things to do ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

One more thing...something is wrong with some other viewers. For instance, the viewers for [[A Jorb Well Done]] and [[The Luau]] have the wrong SWF names. The sbemail [[brianrietta]] does not have any subtitles. Just thought I'd let you know. [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]] 22:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

:Ohhh, never mind. I'll just try to fix it myself, although I'm not quite sure how to fix brianrietta... {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 18:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC) 18:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Let's go back to not-on-the-site subs. I once tried to go to [http://subtitles.hrwiki.org/marshmallow2/en subtitles.hrwiki.org/marshmallow2/en]. The place where the toon should be was all white and the "subs" just said "loading flash". I looked at the HTML source, and all the lines are correct, but it thinks that the SWF file is still on homestarrunner.com. Is there a way to fix this so it knows that it's on the mirror? {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 19:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== A little tool to help translating subtitles ==

Hi everyone! 
As part of the subtitles project, I'm trying to translate the toons and everything else in French, but, like any other project, that's not easy. To help me with this task, I created a little tool. I just finished coding it, you can find it here : [http://tailszefox.free.fr/homestar/subtitles.php5]. 
This is very simple : just copy and paste the English subtitles, and you'll have two boxes for each sentence : one with the English sentence, and another one when you have to translate this sentence. If that's not very clear, just try it yourself! 
More instructions are on the page, but for now, this is far from finished : there are still some nasty bugs, who prevent it from being really useful. If someone here knows how to resolve encoding problems with the loadXML function in PHP, I'll be very happy to hear the solution! 
So, from now, it's still in a beta stage, waiting for advices. No need to continue it and fix it if it's not really useful. Well anyway, if you're a translator, please try it and tell me what you think of it. 
Thank you for your time! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 00:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Whoa, this looks awesome! I'll mention it to a couple coding-savvy types around here and see if they can help at all with any of the bugs. Nice work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

::Awesome! Seems to work just fine for me. That's a really good idea :-D What encoding problems have you got?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Thank, Trey and Loafing! Loafing, about the encoding problems, try for example with the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Subtitles:datenite/en Date Night subtitles]. Those subtitles contain the character "—" a lot, and if you submit it and look at the lines that have it on the first page, they're messed up (there is a "Â" on front of them). Same goes for accents. So, after that, it can't find the original line (because "At best it's a broom or a—" and "At best it's a broom or aÂ—" are different). 
:::I also noticed that the span tag is messed up, because of the quotes. The line <nowiki>"But for this, maybe I should drown them in... drowning them!"</nowiki> is cut before the end, once again because of the quotation marks. It's the same when there are quotation marks in a sentence.
:::Well anyway, I'll try my best to solve these problems. Thanks for you encouragements! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 07:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Before the first line of your PHP script, add <code class="plainlinks"><?php [http://www.php.net/header header]("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); ?></code> – that should help with your encoding issues. As for the quotes, you've probably got something like <code>print "<input etc etc value=\"$something\">";</code> right? Replace that with <code class="plainlinks">print "<input etc etc value=\"" . [http://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars htmlspecialchars]($something) . "\">";</code> – that'll encode the quotes so that they don't break stuff. Great work, by the way! {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:::::Hey Phlip! Thank you very much, your solutions helped to solve the problem. For the encoding issues, I also had to use some utf8_encode here, and utf8_decode there, but it works. htmlspecialchars worked for the quotes in text, but not for those in the span tag, so I replaced them with there code in HTML. 
:::::Anyway, the most important thing is that those problems are solved. I still have some issues to resolve, but they're minor issues. Thanks again! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 10:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::Hmm... I try to avoid using utf8_decode/encode as much as possible... they'll choke on any unicode stuff that's not in [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1#Code table|ISO-8859-1]]... if you set the headers right, you should be able to just leave the UTF-8-encoded stuff as is... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Unfortunatly, without those, accents and all are messed up. I must have done something wrong, I'll look into that. But for now, I didn't see any character getting messed up with this. If you find one that is, tell me so I can change that quickly! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 12:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

== Names' translations ==

I want to promote a fashion to translate subtitles. I'd really like to always keep the names and references to games like "StrongBad Zone" in english, without being transliteratted, for example: Strong Bad being "Fuerte Malo" in spanish; It doesn't preserve the spirit and essence of the cartoon!
Do I make myself clear? --[[User:Dicai|[Lt. Dicai]]] 03:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yes! There is actually a very long discussion [[HRWiki_talk:Subtitles/Archive_1#Translation_of_Proper_Names|in the archives]] about this, with the result that names probably should stay English in most languages. Also note the last comment in that section :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think ''certain'' characters ''could'' be translated; characters that have descriptive names, or characters that were invented by other characters on the fly. For example, I have translated King of Town, simply because... well, he is the king of the town. There are a lot of places where I'm glad that I did translate KoT's name, it's been very helpful when trying to make certain jokes work. I've also translated The Announcer, Teen Girl Squad and all its members. I haven't translated and I don't support the idea of translating ''every'' character, especially Strong XXX, The Cheat, or Homestar.

::When I translate subtitles, I like to think the language layout, grammar, balance between standards and slang and those kinds of things as if the toon would be dubbed into the language by my subtitles, or that it was Finnish all along to begin with. Let me tell you; if a Finn did a cartoon, the last thing he'd do is give it and its characters English names. It just works better in Finnish, you can't beat that.

::So in conclusion, my opinion is to translate some if you like, but not all. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 10:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

== List problem ==

Uh oh. Ever since we changed the subtitles list to a special page, we can't add new subtitle videos onto it! I mean, [[Rap Song]] has subtitles, but it's not on the list! [[Bug In Mouth Disease|The good times are over]]!! {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 22:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there! [[Special:Subtitleslist]] is automatically updated from the data on [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data]], but they have to be added manually to the latter page. The last few updates hadn't been added to the list, so I went ahead and {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Subtitles/Data&diff=522488&oldid=521745 added them}}. By the way, any autoconfirmed user can add to this list, so now you can add updates to this page when new ones come out, and they should automatically appear on [[Special:Subtitleslist]]! Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:25, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Puns and plays on words ==

What about puns or plays on words? If we folowe* the standards exactly, we are forced to leave them unmodified when translating, which will often deprive them of any sense. Or are we supposed to remove them whenever possible, replacing them with bog-standard unfunny sentences?

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==

''{As usual, Strong Bad is in front of his Lappy, checking his e-mail. Judging from the view of the room we can see around the Lappy, however, he does not seem to be at his desk, as he usually would be.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': A lot of ladies and a lot of girls... some healthy ladies and some healthy girls!
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: besides..</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Do you do anything besides checking e-mails? 
 
Sincerely, Hunter</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Waudju- gighi- ikuh... What do you mean do I do anything else besides checking e-mails. 'Course I freakin' do! I do everything! Always! ''{clears the screen}'' Nature walks, Meet N' Greets, Bus Chucker Club, The League of Me and The Cheat Ice Cream Socials. Shut up! I even have a part-part-part-part-very part-time job, to which I am currently 15 minutes late.

''{Cut to the lower area of Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}''

''{Strong Bad looks around in a panicked way.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': This is perfect! Just perfect! I couldn't be happier with my new invention! I'll call it...the Super Question Machine!!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{whispering}'' I gotta try to sneak out of here without Homestar noticing me.

''{Homestar sets his tennis ball down on the table.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gonna need a diversion of some kind...

''{The Cheat walks in, humming to himself, wearing a top hat entitled "Tito" and a bow tie, and holding a cane. Homestar turns around to look at him. The camera pans left. The Cheat begins doing a dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, wow! What a great new invention!

''{Strong Bad crawls out from under the table, and gives The Cheat the thumbs up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Cheat!

''{He proceeds to crawl away, while The Cheat's still humming.}''

''{Cut to Bubs' empty concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly while peeking out from behind the black}'' Perfect! Bubs must be passed out on the floor again.

''{Strong Bad disappears behind the screen, and begins walking toward the Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Comin' in to work on time..

''{Bubs pops up from under the counter. Strong Bad lets out a short yell.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aha!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Yells, then stutters a little.}''

'''BUBS:''' Late again, Strong Bad. I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Quickly}'' But Mr. Bubs, I was just—

'''BUBS:''' ''{Interrupts}'' Wastin' time with that email show of yours again. That mess'll never get you anywhere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes it will! You'll see! I'm gonna be big one day. I'm gonna be a famous email checker!

'''BUBS:''' And I'm gonna be two times two. Now put on your uniform and get to work!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna be ''what''?

''{The screen fades out and resumes to Strong Bad wearing a combination of a sad clown and a hotdog costume in front of Bubs' stand. Strong Bad is holding a paper, and a stack of papers sits next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right! Come on down to Bubs' and get you a free cup of ice with purchase of deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Work it, son, work it!

''{Strong Bad begins dancing and humming.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's it, that's it! Look out for Number 1!

''{Coach Z walks in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the hot dog clown! What fun!

''{Pom Pom's silhouette merges in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, take a picture of me with the hot dog clown. It'll be classic!

''{Pom Pom bubbles, and takes out a camera. A huge flash is seen, and a camera shutter sound is heard. Coach Z falls over, leaning on Strong Bad.}

''{The camera zooms in to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Pictures with the tragic clown dog ain't free! Fifty bucks! ''Sixty'' bucks! Get back here and let me confiscate yo film!

''{The camera zooms back out to the four of them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{running}'' Chorce, forsh! ''{He and Pom Pom run off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a great day at Bubs' Concession Stand! Sign up now for giving us money!

'''BUBS:''' Now isn't this better than sitting at your desk answerin' emails?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Actually, I was sitting under a kitchen table this week and...uh oh! The Lappy's probably almost out of juice! I gotta get back and end this email! Uhh.. say Bubs, I'm gonna need now off. Is that cool?

'''BUBS:''' Is Strong Sad cool?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, come on!

'''BUBS:''' You know all my policies! I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, then, I quit.

'''BUBS:''' Fine! But don't even think about swiping that costume!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You made ''me'' buy this costume, remember?

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Right. Well then pleasure doing business wit' ya.

''{Strong Bad runs off in the costume.}

''{We cut back to the kitchen, where The Cheat has fallen over, still humming, and Homestar is standing over him. Strong Bad, now without costume, crawls back in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the most amazing undersea epic ever filmed.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See, Hunter? I got all types of stuff going on. I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are. I'm like a hundredaire socialite out on the sce-

''{The Lappy powers down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh great. The battery ran out. I gotta figure out a way to end this email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah you do.

''{Cut to Mrs. Bennedetto. Strong Bad slaps a paper on it with some text and a picture of him on it.}''

<blockquote>yeah buddy, 
i have muscles! 
 
ps: preeeeow</blockquote>

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on "Bus Chucker Club" to see a post-it of Strong Bad's member badge.
* At the end, click on "preeeeow" to make [[The Paper]] come down.
* Also at the end, you can click on the microwave's "Broast" button to see ''[[Stookley's Hundredaire Socialite|Hundredaire Socialite]] [[Periodicals|magazine]]'', featuring "The Brains Behind [[Videlectrix]]."
* Click on the "Power" button at the end, to watch an extra scene with Strong Bad and Bubs.
:''{Cut to Bubs on [[Stages#Modern-Day Stage|the Stage]]. We see a [[playbill]]:}''
{{playbill|Dreamaway Johnny|A picture of Strong Bad kneeling on stage|A Sweet 3-Acter Directed by Strong Bad Starring: Strong Bad and Buh-Hubs, man}}

:''{The pamphlet zooms out. We see Bubs is standing in front of a cut-out of his stand reading [[Mr. Legarm's Stand|MR LEGARM'S Bubs Stand]]. Strong Bad walks in.}''
:'''BUBS AS MR. LEGARM:''' Well look who decided to show up. Fifth time this week, Johnny.
:'''STRONG BAD AS JOHNNY:''' Oh I'm sorry Mr. Legarm. Honest I am! I just—
:'''MR. LEGARM:''' ''{interrupting}'' You just what? Lost track of time?
:'''JOHNNY:''' Yes sir. Only I wouldn't have to worry about that if I could just get the Johnny-Tron working.
:'''MR. LEGARM:''' You still wastin' time workin' on that time machine, Johnny? That's a pipe dream, son! Your future's here at the shop. Now sweep up! I got customers to tend to.
:'''JOHNNY:''' You'll see. Someday... someday...
:''{Music starts, and a spotlight goes over to Strong Bad.}''
:'''JOHNNY:''' ''{singing}'' When all my dreams come...truuuuuuuuue!
:''{As he sings the word "true" the orchestra hits a climactic chord. The audience claps; the curtain closes.}''

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Trivia===
*Bubs's flyers read:
<blockquote>GET YOU A FREE CUP OF 
ICE WITH PURCHASE OF 
DELUXE CUP OF ICE OF 
EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE. 
BUBS' CONSESSION STAND</blockquote>
*The clock on Mrs. Bennedetto is stuck on 9:48.
*This email is the first to show the back of the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] clearly. (It was obscured by Strong Bad's arm in [[animal]].)
*In the picture of himself that Strong Bad puts on Mrs. Bennedetto at the end of the email, his left hand does not have a boxing glove on it and you can see three fingers. This is the first time we have seen Strong Bad's fingers or hand without the boxing gloves on. Also, his mouth has teeth, instead of just a gap in his mask.
*This is the only email where you manually have to make The Paper come down at the end of it.
* This is the second time Bubs criticized Strong Bad about his "email show". The first time was in the email [[the process]].

===Remarks===
*Bubs has apparently discontinued his "free weekly spamvertisements" from [[unused emails]], from which Strong Bad was making $1,250 (5,000 emails × a quarter each) every time he sold a disk of addresses.
*The only way Bubs will have to honor his offer of "a free cup of ice with purchase of a deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value" is if he gives a free deluxe cup with the purchase of another deluxe cup, since a deluxe version of an item would be of ''greater'' value than the normal version.
*When Strong Bad is late to work, he grabs the frame of the cartoon, yet another example of a [[Fourth Wall Break]].
*Apparently the Lappy 486 also comes with a wireless Internet access card. Either that or Strong Bad downloaded his emails before heading to Marzipan's.
*Strong Bad also has an unspecified job at [[The Office]].
*Hunter's question was effectively answered just 10 emails ago in [[other days]].
*Breaking from his speech affect, [[Coach Z]] is able to pronounce the word, "dog" without saying "dorg."
*The Lappy has 5 minutes of battery life. This email was only [[Strong Bad Email By Length|3:29]] long, indicating that Strong Bad had powered his Lappy on before the email began. If Ms. Bennedetto's clock is correct, Strong Bad had to be at work by 9:30 AM.

===Goofs===
*You can also make the circles appear when the scene switches to the microwave at the end really quickly.
*The Paper's "preeeeow" sound starts but gets cut off after less than a second when it cuts to the microwave.
*When Strong Bad turns around the teardrop on his hot dog clown suit switches sides.
**The hot dog clown may have a tear under each eye, because his nose is blocking the view.
*Despite his usual mercilessness on [[Strong Bad's Spelling|grammar and spelling]], Strong Bad omits a question mark in his first full sentence.
*When Strong Bad is under the stage light in the Easter Egg, he doesn't have a shadow.
*You can still click on the Lappy's screen and make the waves appear even after the battery dies.
*When Bubs gets up to startle Strong Bad, you can see Bubs's arm and part of his middle section under the concession stand.

=== Glitches ===
* After watching the "Power Easter egg", The Paper is down even if you haven't clicked on "preeeeow".
* On some earlier versions of Flash, you can hear the printer's scratching noise even before you click on "preeeeow".

===Inside References===
* The ''Hundredaire Socialite Magazine'' Easter egg features the familiar faces of [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt Chapman]]; the photo is from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]].
*The Cheat wearing the top hat may be a reference to [[theme park]].
*"Buh-Hubs" was a filename in [[big white face]]. Bubs also said his name this way in [[lunch special]].
*"Hundredaire" was also used in the email "[[suntan]]".
* "[[Preeeeow]]" is what Strong Bad says in [[autobiography]] and [[haircut]], when attempting to prompt the printer to print out [[The Paper]]. It is the accepted [[onomatopoeia]] for The Paper's sound.
*The confused sounds Strong Bad makes at the beginning of the cartoon are almost identical to the ones he utters near the end of [[Everybody to the Limit]].
*When Strong Bad says, "I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are," he is referring to his description of [[Senor Cardgage]] in the email [[kind of cool]].
*The sound the Lappy makes when shutting down is the same sound from [[gimmicks]] (when the Tandy's display goes blank), [[caffeine]] (when Strong Sad no longer was caffeinated), and [[dangeresque 3]] when Strong Bad changed the signature (john newell, on) to john newell, off.
*The cup of ice is first referenced in [[no loafing]], as part of Bubs' Thirty Cent Lunch Special.
*When Strong Bad sings "I'm like a hundredaire socialite out on the sce—", it is in the same tune as the first Lappy e-mail rap ("Scroll buttons and The Lappy together at last...").
*Strong Bad previously appeared as a hot dog in [[island]].
* The battery running out is a reference to the limited battery power of the Lappy mentioned in its debut (animal): "One Half of Ten Minutes".

===Real-World References===
*The Tragic Clown Dog's necktie bends upwards like [[Wikipedia: Dilbert|Dilbert's]].
*Homestar doesn't demonstrate how his Super Question Machine works (which is just a tennis ball), but it could be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Magic 8-ball|Magic 8-ball]].
**It may also be a reference to the handheld version of the [[Wikipedia:20Q|20q]], a device that plays twenty questions and is about the size of a tennis ball.
*The pamphlet reading "Theater" in the Easter egg is a reference to the ubiquitous [[Wikipedia: Playbill|Playbill]] in Broadway shows.
*The name "Mr. Legarm" is probably a reference to the old saying of "... will cost you an arm and a leg", since Bubs is known to charge more for something than it is worth (such as when he charges $10 for severe pummelings in [[pom pom]]).

===Fast Forward===
*The Cheat later appears as Tito in [[more armies]], with [[Strong Mad]] as his "beautiful assistant".

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*Easter egg involving The Paper is automatically enabled without having to press a button.
===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Coach Z]])

'''MIKE:''' Surprise me.

'''COACH Z:''' OK then, Mike. I'm—

'''MIKE:''' ''{surprised}'' Oh! It's Coach Z!

'''COACH Z:''' I'm showing up to work! For once!

'''MIKE:''' It's about time.

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' It's the first time ''ever'' you've showed up for work, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' I don't like to come around you guys.

'''MIKE:''' Well, we—

'''COACH Z:''' So much.

'''MIKE:''' That's fine with us, too.

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' The feeling's mutual.

'''COACH Z:''' I heard that you didn't— You played basketball this morning and didn't take a shower.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who told you that?

'''COACH Z:''' Uh, a couple of DVDs came by locker ''{pronounces it "lacker"}'' room.

'''MIKE:''' Your lacker room? Your lack of room?

'''COACH Z:''' No, it's the room I keep all my lacquer.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, your ''lacquer'' room—

'''COACH Z:''' My lacquer things.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, OK. Uh, oh you remind—

'''COACH Z:''' What's that thing Homestar's holding there?

'''MIKE:''' That's— It's the super question machine.

'''COACH Z:''' It reminds me of one of those—

'''MIKE:''' Tennis balls?

'''COACH Z:''' Sprots.

'''MIKE:''' ''{repeats it exactly in an attempt to mock}'' Sprots. Coach Z, what do you mean by sprot?

'''COACH Z:''' I ''{laughs, sounding more like Matt}'' I'm mispronouncing "Sports" Mike, I'll tell you the truth.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So now you're just, uh, switching letters around.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{whimpering}'' I just—

'''MIKE:''' You're not only adding 'R's to things, you're just switching letters around.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{still whimpering}'' It's true, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, OK.

'''COACH Z:''' Mork.

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

'''COACH Z:''' Ir feer borld ''{meaning to say "I feel bad"}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's good...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{suddenly more serious}'' No, now listen, here! Because— when you talk about Bubs, you're talking about me. Because Bubs is a good guy and I'm worse.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You, uh— You make a good appearance in this email, though.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{reassured}'' I do. I remember showing up for work that day.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think you— I think you were just passing through that day.

'''COACH Z:''' That clown!

'''MIKE:''' You like that clown—

'''COACH Z:''' That clown really knows how to work a fella.

'''MIKE:''' ''{dumbfounded}'' What do you mean? ''{laughs}''

'''COACH Z:''' You know. Give him— make him—

'''MIKE:''' A charlie horse, maybe?

'''COACH Z:''' Make him laugh. Yeah, give 'em—

'''MIKE:''' Look! Look at that guy!

'''COACH Z:''' —a real charlie horse. Oh, look. Yeah, take a—

'''MIKE:''' Do you have this picture somewhere?

'''COACH Z:''' I do—

'''MIKE:''' Framed, maybe?

'''COACH Z:''' I framed it and I put it in my lacquer room.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is there a lack of room in your lacquer room?

'''COACH Z:''' There is.

'''MIKE:''' Is it full of lacq— Is it because it's a smaller room or because it's full of lacquer?

'''COACH Z:''' It's because it's a— it's a microwave.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' How many, uh, cans of lacquer can you fit in there?

'''COACH Z:''' About five.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, OK. So you just got like pint-sized cans—

'''COACH Z:''' Don't turn that thing on, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' No?

'''COACH Z:''' I tell you what.

'''MIKE:''' What happens?

'''COACH Z:''' You don't have a lacquer room no more.

'''MIKE:''' They'll usually take that back.

'''COACH Z:''' Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' They'll take it back. The lacquer rooms. If you break 'em.

'''COACH Z:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you can take it to the store. They'll get you a new one.

'''COACH Z:''' That's pretty good then.

'''MIKE:''' Warranty. Yeah. ''{long pause}'' What else you got there, Coach Z?

'''COACH Z:''' That's it!

'''MIKE:''' You're done?

'''COACH Z:''' Mm-hm.

'''MIKE:''' You're not gonna even show up for a full day's work here. You're petering out halfway through the email—

'''COACH Z:''' Now look. I had lunch, went back to my desk, and I'm zoning out.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''COACH Z:''' I'm just gonna get on Instant Messager and tell the boss.

'''MIKE:''' Is it Instant ''Messenger'' or ''Messager''? I've always been confused.

'''COACH Z:''' Messen—

'''MIKE:''' Messenger?

'''COACH Z:''' I think so.

'''MIKE:''' Um, K. 'Cause it could be "Messager," too. ''{pause}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{suddenly and quickly}'' Look, a lacquer room!

HRWiki talk:Subtitles

JudgeDeadd — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 04:34:35 GMT

JudgeDeadd: /**/Polish (PL) subtitles

== From Da Basement ==
''Copied from [[HRWiki:Da_Basement#Subtitles]]:''
<blockquote>

Some of us have started working on subtitling Homestar Runner Flash cartoons to make them accessible to a wider audience. I would like to know what the HRWiki folks think about this. Should this be a part of the knowledge base wiki? Should it be separate? Would you help? The subtitles are based on the transcripts from the wiki, so there is a strong connection already. The [http://hstarsubs.awardspace.com/ subtitles project] is still beta, but it should work with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Most subtitles have been donated by Phlip from an older project, and I and Elcool have done the international ones. Check it out and let us know.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: I personally know one person who'd be interested in that... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
::I strongly support having some way to intergrate the subtitles files into the wiki. As a non-native speaker sometimes I need to go over the wiki transcript just to see what a word or two means. This way , it's already inside the toon window itself. Also, we could open the door for people with hearing problems who still want experiance Homestar Runner like the rest of us. Some flash artists like Weeble from Weeble and Bob and the people behind Too Much Spare Time Animation have already added subtitles to some of their toons. So If TBC aren't going to do it themselvs, we are here for them. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
: The .xml file for Exp Film's Commentary doesn't work. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
::Cheers, fixed the link. Also, listening to the commentary is currently not possible anyway, because of Flash security measures :-/ And I forgot to upload the experiment film subs, will have to wait until I'm back home.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
:::We need this in the [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]], pronto. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 02:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I showed it to the person I previously alluded. The biggest reason I got into H*R in the first place was because it allowed me to share the gift of Homestar with this person, who cannot hear. She says she likes the subtitled stuff better than the Wiki. "But no offense." --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::Seriously, you just made my day :-D {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Deaf watchers, eh? I'd assume ''captions'', as opposed to ''subtitles'' would be more important then, yes? (For the uninitiated: subtitles transcribe the words, captions transcribe all the sound effects too.) {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Take 'em as they come. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, let's just say, hypothetically, I wanted to make one of these. How would I get the frame numbers to start/stop each line on? And how would I test it? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::We haven't quite worked out the standards for subtitles/captions yet, so the format may change a little. But if you want to try it now, then here's how you do it: You need Phlip's Firefox [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]]. This will give you a seek bar for Flash toons from Homestarrunner.com. It also displays the current frame number. Then you grab one of the XML files from the subtitle site, scoop it empty, and use it as a skeleton. You probably also want to copy the text of the transcript into this file and split it up into short sections or sentences that you want to display as one title. Then use the seekbar to find the first and last frame numbers for each of the sections. It gets easy after you've done it once or twice. And you get to know the toon pretty well. Also note that each character has his or her own colour code. I'll put a page online soon with some more detailed hints, and I'll come up with a way of testing the titles. — I'm still not sure where to put the page with instructions. Do people believe this should be an HRWiki project, or should it be separate? {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Aside from the frame numbers, I'd pretty much figured that all out. I have the beginnings of a [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] .xml file, but without frame numbers. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Sound promising :-) I'll come up with a test page soon(ish). And you've heard that before, but... you should really be on IRC ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::I've never successfully managed to join IRC when a useful conversation is taking place. Plus, I have issues getting to it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Alright you guys, I finished the .XML file for Cool Tapes. [[User:The Mu/subtitleCoolThings|Ding!]] ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 03:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there a talk page specifically for this project? I thought of some things to discuss, but we'd flood Da Basement. I think there should be some sort of central Wiki page for this project, even if it's in a User space. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
: I'm not in the mood for IRC right now, but I figured I'd give an update. I have all of the text in my .xml file. I do not, however, have any frame numbers past the three Coach Z/Pom Pom scenarios. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)<blockquote>
</blockquote>

== Uh oh. ==

Okay, I've got a serious problem with the [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] subtitiles.

The individual lines Homestar has at the end of the 'toon (A bottle of this, essence of that) are not stored through frame numbers. What's worse, I can't even say something like "A bottle of ''(something)'' water" or something like that, because different lines are different lengths, meaning I have to conform to whichever one is ''shortest'' or I get glitches. Thoughts?

The individual options work fine throughout the whole 'toon, and I suspect that the Homestar transformations work fine as well (though I haven't thoroughly tested.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

:Ergh, yeah, that's the biggest problem, that we can only subtitle stuff that actually correlates to frame numbers. If audio is triggered by ActionScript independently from graphics frames, we're doomed. The same goes for sequences that are loaded separately, such as the Experimental Film Commentary or the Very, Very Little Girl easter egg. I'll have a look at that, and I'll get back to you ASAP.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:: Okay, the problem wasn't what I thought it was, and all known kinks are worked out. [[HRWiki:Subtitles/en/halloween2005mx]]. And with that... good nighzzzzzz... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:: The updates caused some formatting issues I don't like. Most specifically, anything italicized becomes mashed together with the surrounding words like''this''appears. Plus, when Homestar is dancing and Bubs is saying "Stick and move, stick and move", I originally put them on separate lines - when they appear as they do now, they look as though they're being said in turn rather than at the same time. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
::: Patience grasshopper, for the best things come to those who wait. By "best things" I mean "the Greasemonkey version of the subtitles" and by "wait" I mean "until you see that both of these come out correctly in that version" - "Stick and move" ''is'' on its own line, spaces around italics ''aren't'' destroyed, it actually pulls the XML stuff from the wiki itself, rather than this just being here for show, etc. I'm still working out some of the kinks (like it working perfectly for me, but failing silently without even an error message for someone else... yeah, that's just a kink), but expect at least a work in progress by tomorrow or the day after or so. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 18:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

== Now what? ==

Sbemail 6 is all good to go, but what now? THe page doesn't say. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:Didn't think anybody would come this far ;-) Put it on http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki:Subtitles/en/sbemail6, and then I'll copy it over to the external site. :-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
::All up and running :-) Is the Klingon version next? ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Ya, you just sit there and wait for that one. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Feel free to add other languages to [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Characters]]... <code>xml:lang="x-klingon"</code>, I think is the right way... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Actually, it seems Klingon is [http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tags/i-klingon registered with IANA], so the language code would be <code>xml:lang="i-klingon"</code>... it's even the example for <code>i-</code> language codes on [http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ this page]... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Non-Working Link ==

The link to the subtitle page doesn't work. Just so you know. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 14:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

:Sometimes Loafing's site is down. Wait a couple of minutes and it will be up and running. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
::It's a free hosting site, so we get what we pay for. It will all be better for Firefox users once Phlip has incorporated the subtitles into his Greasemonkey script. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:::At the meantime I added a mirror from my small wiki. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

== Emphasis ==
I'm having a problem with the emphasis codes. Whenever I add them, they italicize the text fine, but remove the spaces directly around the word. I tried <nowiki>, , and </nowiki> tags. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
:Read my post [[#Uh oh.|above]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 19:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
::One workaround is to use <nowiki>&amp;nbsp;</nowiki> to force a space. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== Namespace ==

It looks like there's gonna be a whole website's worth of these pages, so to keep them organized, I made the Subtitles namespace. I didn't move anything into the new namespace yet, first because I didn't know whether anything depended on the pages' being where they are now, and second because I can see arguments for the primary organization being by language (e.g. Subtitles:en/cheatar, Subtitles:en/ween03) or by toon name (e.g. Subtitles:chetar/de, Subtitles:chetar/en) and figured we should discuss it first. (By the way, true subpages are enabled for this namespace.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:Looking at this [[:Category:Subtitles]], I believe that it makes sense to organize it by toon name.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:26, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::Also, can I add, since we're moving stuff anyway... can we have the names match the filename of the .html file, rather than the .swf? It's easier to code, that way. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Fine with me. Then we need to put the swf filename back in the <transcript> tag for the external script. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::::I made subcategories for the various languages, since all the pages can be seen just by viewing the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&namespace=102 list of pages] in the namespace. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== New version ==

Go to [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Greasemonkey]] and install that... instructions are at the top. Be aware that this is just a beta... there's probably problems with it, and the (nonexistant) options interface isn't all that user-friendly. But it's there... now you can stop complaining about the old version not liking the formatting changes... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:Good Jorb! I strongly recommend that everybody installs the Greasemokey script, because it actually uses the up-to-date subtitles from the wiki. The script on the external site has been updated somewhat as well, to fix the bugs mentioned in the previous sections.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== Question about Strong Bad Emails ==

When Strong Bad reads his email and types on his computer, are subtitles necessary? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:Absolutely. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::Why? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Because he doesn't always say what's on the screen. Look at the helium email for example. There are a few subtle differences between what he types and what he says. Check it out. Also, I remember watching an early one on the other site with captions, but with no sound. The email text wasn't captioned. But a comment he made in the middle of reading was. Now, if i had never seen this one before, how would I know where that comment referred to? In fact, with no captioning, how would I even know Strong Bad was reading out loud? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::::And another reason I just thought of - the English ones are templates for the foreign language versions. So having that in there makes it easier for a translator to simply translate the text without having to find new frame anchors for the text. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== Sound Effect Standard ==

What sound effects should be noted, and how should they be noted? One example is The Paper. My opinion is to not indicate the sound, as it's really not meaningful to the storyline at all. Even in toons like [[little animal]] The Paper's noise isn't as meaningful as what it looks like. Also, are we using Geddup Noise for the chair? Will we change to Chairscoot somewhere around email 84? Finally, we clearly don't need to note EVERY sound effect. Just the ones that are part of the storytelling, I'd say. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:I disagree. We should assume anyone using the subtitles cannot hear anything at all (and not necessarily because they're deaf; perhaps they're at work and can't turn the sound up). We should therefore caption all sound effects (unless in a particular case doing so would interfere with the dialogue), especially ones like "Preeeow", which signify events in the email. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

::Assuming a person is deaf, then is there value in describing to them, for example, that the background noise sounds like a scratchy record? I think there's such a thing as too far here, and it's really easy to hit the point of so much caption that you can't keep up.
::Also, if you were blind, the sound "Preeow" would be important, but you know that the Preeow is happening even with the sound muted because you see it come down. We have to indicate a ringing phone because we sure can't see it ringing, but we can see The Paper come down, so what does the sfx "Preeow" add to the subtitling other than clutter? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:::As I said before, you don't have to assume someone is deaf. The sound could just be muted. Noting ''all'' sound effects are important, because the toon wouldn't be the same without them. And how do you know that a person who now is deaf doesn't know what a record scratch sounds like? As for clutter, the "preeow" is usually the only thing going on at that point. It would not be cluttered to include it. In fact, when you watch the toon without the sound, you don't assume that The Paper is making any noise just because you see it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

::::I totally agree. Sound effects are an important part of the cartoons, and we should include them in the subtitles. Also, anybody who really doesn't like them, can turn sound effects off when they use the Greasemonkey script.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:18, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

::::I also agree: I think providing details about sound effects is often very important for catching all of the humor in a toon. About the example about The Paper, I think it's clear that this is one of many running gags in the H*R universe that adds to the experience because of its frequent appearance. Including the sound effect is the only way that a deaf, etc. person can share in that. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

:::::I agree with Qermaq. It would probably be better to show most, but not all sound effects. Otherwise, those who are deaf, or have his or her sound off, possibly missing important parts of the plot through clutter or the caption text moving too quickly. I don't think every sound effect is necessary when writing captions. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

::::::I like including the sound effects, I think it definetly adds to the experience. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

:::::::I think many sound effects are notable, mind you. I guess I just question the semantic point of giving a sound effect for, say, The Paper when it conveys no meaning. In one transcript I did (anything) I didn't bother to note the scooting sound of the chair when Homestar sits, as it's meaningless (and it isn't a Geddup Noise, clearly!) - but when the sound effect is important to the plot, of course it should be noted. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Welsh ==

I can make Welsh subtitles if anyone's interested. [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]] 17:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC) P.S. The subtitles don't show on my computer because it rejects the "<nowiki> </nowiki>" in the code.
:Are you using Firefox? Did you install Phlip's scripts? And there should not be any <nowiki> </nowiki>'s in the transcripts, they should be <nowiki> </nowiki>'s. If one is wrong, add the slash to the XML and try again. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::I have Internet Explorer, and I've saved the All-in-One scripts. [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]] 17:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::All-in-one works with IE? Really now? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::::It didn't, I was just telling you my situation. [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]] 17:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ok, but the subtitles not showing, as you said above - on all of them? None work for you, when viewed in Firefox? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:06, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== Problems with IE ==

My computer screen currently reads:
<blockquote> The subtitles file has been found unsafe for the following reasons:
file contains tags in CDATA note 'br'x5
</blockquote>
anyone else have this problem? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)P.S. replace ' with < or > respectively.
Now it says it x40

:On what page do you get this error? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::I went to the BETA page and clicked 'watch' and the computer came up saying this. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Try the depressio watch link. I know there's no br's in that one. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::::That works. Still, we need to fix the ones that say 'br'. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 18:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ok, here's the thing. If you run Phlip's scripts in Firefox, Firefox gets the transcript from the wiki. However, that old beta site runs off its own copies, and some of them are really old and not up to standards. If you could list the ones that are buggy, then Loafing could at some point fix the problem.

== Adding Flash File ==

Ok, I know it's not "later" yet, but re: <code><nowiki><transcript xml:lang="en-us" file="flashfile.swf" width="550" height="400"></nowiki></code>, do we need to edit all the transcripts to add that now? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, please. The Greasemonkey script will work fine without them, but the external script needs them. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== Links on individual pages ==

Should the only actual subtitle link be to an external site? Perhaps a link "Configure Mozilla Firefox to view this toon with subtitles" leading to Phlip's Greasemonkey All-in-one script should appear first, then the external link "View subtitles in Internet Explorer" later. And what about [http://www.opera.com Opera]? They have a healthy chunk of the market too. Does the external site work on Opera? If not, can it be configured to? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
:<strike>There are two subtitle links. One is to the external site that displays the subtitles under the Flash file, and the other one goes to the subtitle script in the Subtitles namespace. The subtitle script eventually leads to the page that tells people about the GM script. Yes, it's not that obvious. I could have the external script detect the browser and tell people that they should use the GM script, if they attempt to view the subtitles in Firefox. I'd prefer that to adding many how-to links on every toon page.</strike> As for Opera: yes, it does work. I've just tested it with Opera 9, and it works just fine.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
::There should now only be internal links to the subtitles scripts on each page. The template included in each subtitle script now provides a brief explanation of how to view the subtitles.

== Capitalization, punctuation, and spelling ==

We should standardize the capitalization and punctuation for the subtitles (like we do for the TGS transcripts). That is, we shouldn't use an emailer's bad capitalization and punctuation. And we should spell things exactly as Strong Bad (or whoever) ''pronounces'' them, not necessarily how they're typed. For example, on [[huttah!]], we wouldn't put "Lasko, Milwaukee, WI"; we should put "Lassss-kohhhh" (or similar), "Milwaukee, Wisacondasin". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Loading subtitles... ==

I was watching a toon in German (what fun!) and it was weird to see "Loading subtitles..." in English. Can this be translated for the various languages? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:I'm sure it can. But where to stop? Should the menu options be internationalized as well? The error messages? The help pages that haven't been written yet? I think you do raise a valid point: If we make the Flash cartoons accessible for more people, what's they use if they don't understand the tools that are required to view the subtitles. On the other hand, this will make the whole system more complicated for us. We'd have another XML document that translates the user interface, similar to [[Subtitles:Characters]]. What do you think, Phlip?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
::Where to stop indeed. Aside from the pure titillation value, we're doing this for accessibility, and accessibility should be the goal. There's not a job worth doing that's not worth doing right, and if we aim to make H*R accessible to people who cannot comprehend audible English speech, we must do the job right and see to it they actually can; otherwise, all our efforts are wasted. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:::I agree in principle. But nothing in this world is perfect, and we have to compromise at some stage. In the end, it comes down to how much work we are able/willing to invest in this, and I would like to remind people that Phlip and I have to program every little change into the two subtitle viewers. So whoever demands new functionality is more than welcome to submit the suggestions as a Javascript sample ;-) But seriously, internalization of the two viewers is probably not that complicated, but will take some time to implement, since the code has to be changed wherever text is presented to the user. And as I said, we have to discuss the scope of internalization. Even if the two viewers are internationalized, how do people who don't understand English know about them? How do they know about H*R in the first place? I think for now, we are already doing a good job at making the cartoon available to an audience that have problems with spoken English, or understand some written English. We're still trying ot get kinks out of the system, and I think we should focus on making the basics work first — while looking ahead to complete world domination, of course ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:42, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Clarification: Yes, I think we should do that. Later on. Or sooner, with more developers involved. And we have to know what scope the project should have. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::I thought about doing this, and decided against it. Some notes: currently, if subtitles are turned off, the script doesn't hit the wiki. At all. For anything. The languages list is only loaded when you turn the option on, the subtitles themselves obviously only load if it's turned on. Everything else is self-contained, to save on hits to the wiki. And then the question of i18n comes up. To put the translations on the wiki would mean that everyone hits the wiki when they're using the script, not just the people watching with subtitles (which I'm guessing is a smaller group). Yes, it's cached, but it would still mean an increase in usually-unneeded traffic. And the script would fail completely if the wiki was down (sure, it could degrade gracefully to English, but it would take time for it to do so, 'cause it would have to wait for timeouts from the wiki server). The alternative is to just include the translations in the GM file itself, which would solve all of that, but it would make it much harder to add new languages later (users would have to upgrade every time a new language was added). As for the slightly smaller scope of just translating the "Loading" message, there's the same issue... if the translations are in the script they're hard to add to, and if they're on the wiki... do you want a "Loading translations of "Loading subtitles" message..." message? Should it be translated? You see where I'm going with this... To have "Loading subtitles" appear only after it had loaded the translations would be weird (and potentially confusing, especially if the wiki was down), to have it say "Loading subtitles" in English and then change to the other language after the translations are loaded would be even weirder... I can't see a way for it to work cleanly. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:14, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
::::::Just to note: I never intended this to be a "can you get this done by tomorrow?" kind of thing. Certainly the limitations of the code weight in here too. Still, this would not be a terribly bad future aspiration, y'know? Using this as a stepping-stone toward a later stand-alone caosed-captioning Flash player. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

== Translation of Proper Names ==

So, for the non-English subtitles, the general trend so far has been to translate proper names. This leads, for example, to a replacement of "Strong Bad" with "Stark Schlecht" for German subtitles and to a replacement of "Homestar" with "Étoile de Logis" for French subtitles. Should we be doing this, or should we leave the proper names as they are. For example, if my name happened to be "Hunter Smith" and a French newspaper was talking about me, they wouldn't change my name to "Forgeron de Chasseur". For a better comparison, the French don't translate [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse Mickey Mouse] or [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_Bunny Bugs Bunny].

So, maybe this doesn't matter much — and maybe we keep doing it the way we're doing it because it's fun to find amusing translations of names into other languages. After all, the likelihood that hordes of non-English speakers are going to suddenly begin appreciating Homestar Runner as a result of our efforts is scant. I just thought it would be good to get a firm decision on the table early on in the game.

Finally, to muddy the waters further, there are some proper names that probably ''should'' be translated no matter what. For example, from [[Where the Crap Are We?]], I think that "Senator Pencilface" should be translated as well as possible (something like "Le Sénateur Visagedecrayon" in French, for example). What do you all think? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

:Regular names, like "Larry Paloroncini" - no need to translate. This question was faced a long time ago in [http://higbee.cots.net/Holtej/klingon/faq.htm#2.3 another Internet-based project]. Descriptive names like "A Little Girl" should be translated, of course. Most names in H*R (including his own) fall into the vast grey area between. Some like Bubs and Marzipan should be no more than transliterated phonetically, if that. A name like Caleb Rentpayer could be left alone, or the last name could be translated to the local word for "rentpayer" if the result at least resembles a possible name, as in English. Then we get to Strong Bad whose name is both descriptive and simply nominative. But, it started out as descriptive. Comparing it to Mickey Mouse isn't apt: Mickey's name tells us no more than this is a mouse named Mickey, while "Strong Bad" conjures up important expositional imagery. When the meaning of the words in the name contribute to the viewer's interpretation of the character, whether literally, figuratively, ironically, or otherwise, the name probably should be fully translated. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

::I think those are some great guidelines. Am I right in interpreting, then, that you might translate "Runner" but not "Homestar"? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

:::This would mean that we'd get [[Wikipedia:Denglish|Denglish]] names such as "Homestar Laeufer", "Strong Schlecht", "Strong Traurig" etc. for the German translation. They do have a certain charme, and they are somewhat more compatible with the English versions. While combinations with English words work well in German — done right, it's even "cool" — I'm not sure if that's equally true for all languages. It might even be regarded as ridiculous. I suggest that the translators for each language decide on how they want to do it, based on the suggestions collected here. Then Trey can use names that he doesn't find ridiculous, Elcool can feel good about his Hebrew translations, and I can drive the protectors of the German language crazy with the latest Denglish creations ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

:Since you brought up the Mickey Mouse example, Trey: Most Disney names are actually partially translated into German. For example, Mickey is called "Micky Maus", while Scrooge McDuck is called "Dagobert Duck". Interestingly, "Goofy" is still called "Goofy", although most Germans don't know what it means. I still find it irritating when I read about Disney stuff on the web, because all the names are wrong! So yes, from my experience, I would prefer the main character names to not be translated. Here's an interesting link for [http://duckman.pettho.com/characters/scrooge.html Mr. McDuck's international pseudonyms].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

::Very interesting! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Just for the record, I don't translate proper names, but use a phonetic translation. I always hated how some Hebrew translators translated "lightsaber" to the actuall (two) words for light and saber. They even did it for "Skywalker". I told myself that if I ever started translating anything, I would not repeat that same mistake. So "Strong Bad" in Hebrew is still "Strong Bad" while "Little Girl" is "Yalda Ktana". Other names, like "Micky Mouse" are not translated here. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:Consider this: "Strong Bad" is more than a name, isn't it? It's the essential exposition of his character! He perceives himself to be strong and bad! So why not, in this one case, use the adjectives "strong" and "bad" as his name? There may be cases where in a particular language it would be awkward, but all languages have accomodations for awkward names, don't they?

:Homestar Runner is another, though let's examine it. Runner is obvious. Homestar is a combination: "home" refers not to a house, but to one's locality, and "star" not to a glactic fireball but to a hero or achiever. These names, if translated in that light, help to expose the character and set up the resulting humor.

:Now let's move to "Da Huuuudge". Can we translate this? Does "huuuuudge" means anything in English? As perhaps the longest-active English speaker involved in this wiki, I assure you it means nothing. I have heard theories about it meaning this of that, but "huuuuudge" means nothing. So what do we do? We transliterate. We achieve the word sound.

:Is the US President Bush known as El Presidenta Arbusto? No, his name is not translated. Neither should any characters, unless the meaning of the name really expresses the essense of the character. Which should be thought of as rare. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

::I kinda regret translating Homestar's name into Spanish, [[Subtitles_talk:Characters#Homestar_vs._Casaestrella|seeing that he still calls himself (or at least his website) "Homestar Runner" when speaking Spanish.]] On a related note, does anyone know why The Cheat remains The Cheat (sort of) in other languages? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 07:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Maybe most langauges don't have an exact equivilant for "The Cheat"? Swedish doesn't appear to. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

::::Well, as a native German speaker, I believe that the translation guidelines for each languages will be different. It's impossible to create universal guidelines. E.L.Cool for example transliterates and translates names into Hebrew, while I would not translate names into German. Even the ones that have a meaning, such as Strong Bad or Homestar Runner. This is because most Germans speak at least a little English, and virtually everybody will know what "bad", "sad", "home" "star" etc. means. It would also look very "uncool" to translate those names. In a quiet moment, I'll change the character names on our character list back into English. As for cases such as "Da Huuuuuudge", I would probably not transliterate, since I'm also not translating the other names. In short: Translating/transliterating names will have to be discussed separately for each language, and native speakers will know best how it's usually done in their language, and how it's best understood by other native speakers.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::I'm not native, so I can hardly claim to have the authority Loafing has in German, but I can say I would do the exact same thing as he if I were translating into German. If I were translating into Chinese (which I'm not yet ready to do; maybe someday), it would be a very different story for a number of reasons (for example, Chinese characters can only produce a certain number of sounds, English is not as widespread among Chinese speakers, etc.). The point being that Loafing is right in suggesting that it the names really need to be decided on a language-by-language (maybe even name-by-name) basis. Ideally, we should have native speakers at least review our choices. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

What I'm gonna do for spanish subtitles (Native = Very Yes) is NOT TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER'S NAMES!!!!! I mean, it sounds truly foul to say Casaestrella Corredor. I mean, my skin goes all creepy just to say H*R's name that way. So, no. I wish to verify (And if usefull, change) all the subs in spanish and let the names be UN-literall-translated.

Some examples are: Homestar Runner, He is Homestar Runner, His name is Homestar Runner; The King Of Town, he is the King Of Town, his name is unknown (Though it might be King Of Town), his job is being the King Of Town. AHA! JOBS! If we're speaking of jobs, then translation = literal. So the KOT would be (Not Rey de (la) ciudad) "Rey Del Pueblo". Little Girl is the little girl (Niña Pequeña). Strong Bad is one of the Brothers Strong (Name Unchanged). Coach Z is a coach (I'm in a debate of puting either "Coach Z" or "Entrenador Z"). The Cheat is a Cheat (But his full name has the [[Integral Article|Integral Article]], so, no name-change). And so on...

What I'm saying, is that you can change the name if you're talkin' 'bout jobs, 'k? (Man, I should start calling 1-800-APOSTROHOLIC right now). {{User:Darkangel/sig}}16:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:I'd like to comment on this issue. First off, again welcome to the wiki [[User:Darkangel|Darkangel]] and [[User:Tehleet|Tehleet]]. Thanks for helping with the Spanish translations. I do not have a great deal of time to go over all the translations myself. However I would like to raise a few points. First, I agree with Darkangel, "Casaestrella Corredor" does sound pretty bad to a spanish speaker (you kinda get used to it), and I do beleive that at least in Spanish, we should keep all the character names in English. I believe most TV shows also do this (with some exceptions -- I think the Simpsons call Homer "Homero" do they not?) So the decision I guess is generally up to the translator, but since this is a group project consensus must be reached (in writing). Like I said, keeping the titles in English I think would be a better idea. For example, the KOT's current name "Rey de la cuidad" sounds more like "King of the City" rather than "King of Town", but "Rey del pueblo" isn't that much better since it can both mean KOT and "King of the people", the latter being the one most people would associate with first. I had considered that myself last week and for that reason left it alone in the [[Subtitles:Characters|character names]] page.
:Of course, doing so wouldn't just mean changing the aforementioned Character names list, but also the text of every spanish subtitle written. Which is why I haven't tried undergoing such a feat myself. So I think, like I said before, consensus needs to be raised on this issue, and I beleive that it should be done on a per-language basis. For some languages it may sound okay to translate names, for others it might not. Also, per-language editing guidelines might be useful, as some translations were left {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:firsttime/es&curid=30081&diff=419228&oldid=419227&rcid=370539 with}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:xmas04/es&curid=30139&diff=419220&oldid=419137&rcid=370531 some}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:firsttime/es&diff=prev&oldid=419227 errors}} that can easily be avoided (and are time consuming to identify and fix). Some language guidelines might help (probably mostly written in English, as ironic as it may sound). It is possible other language translations might benefit from such guidelines as well. General translations can be easy, but proper translations that try their best to convey the right meaning can be a lot of work. I would like to try to reduce that work through collaboration. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
::Are there any forums in Spanish (or any of our supported languages) about Homestar Runner where we could see how native speakers handle the names? My feeling is that proper names should be translated where it would give a better understanding of the character; using that standard, the King of Town's name ''should'' be translated, since ''Rey del Pueblo'' (or ''de la Ciudad'') gives useful information, and the character is referred to as the king of the town (whether or not it is a self-appointed title and whether he has any actual power are other matters not for discussion here). Furthermore, the Brothers Strong's, Homestar Runner's, Coach Z's, the Poopsmith's, and The Cheat's personalities are all derived from their names. It therefore does make sense to translate them, if a suitable translation can be agreed upon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

We should simply link from each article directly to the relevant subtitels in the section ''See Also''. In fact, we should start doing this right now.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Only ten days ago, we posted a little question if anybody would be interested in this. Wow, you guys and girls are fast! And for the records: we also have 1 Spanish, 3 French, 10 Hebrew, and 14 German subtitles scripts. You people rock! And there is still a long way to go to subtitle every cartoon, so "Rock, Rock On!" {{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

== Cleanup Templates ==

It seems many subtitle pages are being created with a cleanup template from the get-go. According to [[:Category:Articles needing cleanup]], "After adding this template to the beginning of the article, add a clear comment on the corresponding talk page indicating what you think should be done." But invariably, there are no comments whatsoever on the Talk page. This makes it unclear to anyone else what precisely needs the cleanup. It could be grammar, it could be framecounts, it could be a number of things, and it's a little unhelpful to expect someone to comb through it later to see what's needing cleanup. Can we all agree to take this extra step when using the template? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, but we don't need them on the subtitles page. I mean if it's just grammar, then they can fix it, right?--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 14:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
::Well, if it just a grammatical error, then the person who noticed it clearly has some fluency in the language. It's possible, I suppose, that someone might know it's wrong but not know how to fix it. If a person is fluent enough to fix it, the template is misused in that case. Then again, it's possible the template's misused in the first example - normally we use the cleanup template on articles which are a pretty big mess. In these cases, the language might be poorly translated, but it's likely at least intelligeable to a speaker of that language even if it's laughable. So perhaps this is an inappropriate use of the template; but if it is an appropriate usage, then it's still important to post on the Talk as to why you've placed it there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

==Problematic==
I encountered a problem while watching the english-subtitled [[different town]]. Despite the fact that their character names were all labeled correctly, subtitles for Homestar, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and Coach Z all appeared white, as though they were labeled as "other". {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 23:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
:This probably means that you have switched the colours off. In the settings of the All-In-One Greasemonkey script, there is an option "use colours" at the bottom. You need to check that. The name labels will disappear, and the colours will return.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

== Subtitle Template ==

I think a template should be made that tells if a toon/game/etc. has subtitles, and tells which languages it is availiable in. - {{User:Super Sonic X/Sig}} 23:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
:We're [[1 step ahead]] of you. Add <nowiki>{{subtitlesLinks|filename}}</nowiki> at the bottom of an article, and a list of available subtitles appears on the left hand menu column. Check the 1 step ahead article to see how it works.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:13, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Bravo ==

I've been third-party to this since it started, but I've been watching a few toons, and I really like what I see. As this project matures, I gotta say that this is definitely worthy of a Main Page service announcement and more to get the word out. Keep on building! —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC) (PS: Can somebody add a sfx line to [[Subtitles:sickday/en]] for SB's prolonged groan before calling for The Paper? I thought it needed it, but I'm too lazy to do this myself. Thanks.)

==Volunteer?==
I think we should set up some method of volunteering to do certain subtitles, because too often have I begun work on a subtitle, only to realize that it's already finished by someone else! If we set up some kind of volunteer board/thingy, then everyone would know what subtitles are in-the-making, which ones are done, and which ones need to be finished. If we do get it up, I volunteer for [[rock opera]]. {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 23:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
:So like a pegboard? And we put our name in saying we got dibs on the toon? This would have the problem of being abused, you see. Consider the "in progress" template - people put it on and forget to take it off when they're done, while others freely edit even though it's there. I mean, so long as no one's paying attention to policy to begin with, what's the use of MORE red tape no one's going to pay attention to? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
:'''(Edit Conflict)''' The problem with those volunteer boards is that people often don't stick to their promises and block a task for everybody else. The way we've done it so far, is the same it's being done everywhere else on the wiki: If you start working on a subtitle script, you add the <nowiki>{{inprogress}}</nowiki> template at the top, and when you finish, you remove the template. That way, we make sure, that only one person is subtitling the same toon at a time. Please note that you should only have that template on the page while you are actually working on it. If you take a longer break or go to bed, you should remove it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

== 200! ==

Wheee! We've reached 200 English subtitles scripts :-) 211 even! If I have counted correctly, there are 125 toons left to be subtitled, 27 of which are sbemails. We also have got 44 French scripts now. Way to go! You girls and guys rock! Keep it coming :-D{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

== Question about the translations ==

I'm not sure why I'm asking this since I don't speak another language well enough to translate the subtitles, but shouldn't written things be subtitled as well? Written things that aren't spoken, I mean. Because I noticed that the Spanish subtitles for The Cheat's character just say "The Cheat noises" in Spanish, and I don't think that's hugely informative.{{User:Shwoo/sig}} 03:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
:Good point. The Cheat's character page is a special case...{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

== XML feed tech question/proposal ==

From a content editors point of view, it would be convienent to omit the 'end' attribute on 'line' and allow such omission to indicate 'end = next.start'.

Looking at the userscript, it actually doesn't seem to complicate things too much. I think it can be taken care of in the transcriptLoaded() callback, while iterating over each line element, there is this existing code:

<pre>
// ignore lines with missing start/end values
// so you can add all the lines and not worry about timing them until later
if (!lines[i].getAttribute("start") || !lines[i].getAttribute("end"))
continue;
line.start = parseInt(lines[i].getAttribute("start"), 10);
line.end = parseInt(lines[i].getAttribute("end"), 10);
</pre>

I think the 'end' attribute can be optional — ''if and only if'' the very next line element has a satisfactory 'start' attribute — with something like:

<pre>
// ignore lines with missing start/end values
// so you can add all the lines and not worry about timing them until later
// allow undefined end values to look ahead to next siblings start value,
// if it exists
if (!lines[i].getAttribute("start"))
continue;
line.start = parseInt(lines[i].getAttribute("start"), 10);
if (!lines[i].getAttribute("end"))
if (i+1 < lines.length)
if (!lines[i+1].getAttribute("start"))
continue;
else
line.end = parseInt(lines[i+1].getAttribute("start"), 10);
else
continue;
else
line.end = parseInt(lines[i].getAttribute("end"), 10);
</pre>

End result, 'line.end' is sure to be defined (either explicitly as it is now, or inferred from the 'start' of the next line element), or the iteration continues (same as it did before).

I haven't tried this out yet (I will tomorrow). Wanted to throw the idea out while it was fresh in my mind though.
{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 10:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

:Dropping the end attribute where possible is a good idea. This should work especially well with Strong Bad's sbemail monologues. And it would force me to finally update the external viewer (which has been displaying subtitles differently from the official version for months now ;-). I'm not too sure about the possibility of having lines without a start attribute, though. We will at least have to display a warning that there are errors in the subtitles - which is basically what we do now. What do you think, Phlip?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

::Oh, I'm not suggesting no start attribute, I think that's a must. But yeah, for the end attr, in the limited editing I've done I typically want to leave the subtitle up until the next one, giving people ample reading time... unless there is a very long silence (not often), or if the silence is a notable part of the composition/comedic effect (important sometimes).

::Note that in my changes above - everything happens ''before'' any of the error detection is done.

::Aside: The above change (presuming it works), could even allow for end attributes along the lines of "-2" (e.g. "end" 2 frames before the next "start"). I've not really wanted that, but it could be handy for tweaking timings. Anyway, one step at a time =) {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 11:25, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

This seems to work ok hacked together for testing. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 01:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

== 300! ==

We're getting there! With over 300(!!) English subtitles scripts, we have so far subtitled 92% of all toons that can be subtitled. The gaps in the [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List|list]] are closing, and only the [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List#Marzipan.27s_Answering_Machine|MAM]] toons seem to go slow. If we keep up the pace (Alas, Shwoo went back to school.), we should finish all toons before Decemberween. Good jorb, everybody!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

:I'm going through MAM's and stubbing them. I was going to complete mam2, but it actually seems a lot easier to operate in "stub" mode and just make the transcripts XML'd! in one go, and then go back and break up the lines with timings in a second pass. Less switching mental gears.

:::Now if only there was a way to install Greasemonkey in SeaMonkey. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
::::So what's the status on all the viewers? Are they all broken? Partially broken? I am curious to know, currently, what works with what? I think it would be useful to have some sort of informal survey as to what works with what. A table similar to:

{| class="TheStickBox"
! Operating System / Browser !! Greasemonkey !! Loafing's Viewer
|-
| Firefox 1.5 || Should work || Flawlessly
|-
| Firefox 2.0 || Notta chance! || You'd like it if it did, wouldn't you?
|-
| Safari || Nope, sorry, try again || Perhaps
|-
| IE 6/7 || ||
|-
| Seamonkey in Linux || ||
|-
| Seamonkey in Windows || ||
|}

::::Something like that. Anyway, the reason I bring it up is twofold: first it seems like both methods are broken and at least one of these methods should be up and running soon, and second I've noticed that we're trying to encourage people to use the GS script more than Loafing's Viewer. However, as I understanding, the viewer would only work with Firefox (and maybe mozilla?) thus limiting the audience that can view thes subtitles. I would prefer if we encouraged the platform-independent script to be used instead. I am sorry I can't help more with the technical aspects of getting either to work. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:30, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::Good idea, I like the survey. I'm curious about that myself ;-) We should wait another day or two, though. I'm currently re-writing the external viewer from scratch to make it compatible with more versions of more browsers. As for the question which viewer we should push, the Greasemonkey script wins hands-down. The external viewer is something extra that I'm keeping to make the subtitles more accessible, but it has several serious drawbacks. The main one being it relying on an external web server. One that will no longer be free once I release the new version of the external viewer. And more precisely one that ''I'' will pay for. Whole bunch of other reasons, but that's a big one right there.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 13:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
::::::Waiting a few days sounds good. (Out of curiosity, I don't know if you [[HRWiki_talk:Subtitles#RTL_Necessary.3F|noticed]] a request I'd made. Would that change be implemented into the viewer? As for relying on another {{pl|l=http://hstarsubs.awardspace.com/subtitles.html?commandos3/en server}}: I assume that your script still loads the original Flash file from HR.com, and all that you really host is the single web page with the JS itself (and no dynamic content). Since this has become a significant wiki project, wouldn't there be a way where your script could be hosted on the wiki (or on {{pl|l=http://www.fellowsites.org/ fellowsites}} even). I don't think the script would be a big resource hog in any way. (Open question: Does and/or should this wiki advertise fellowsites anywhere?) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:10, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== Syncronisation ==

Could somebody else please look at the subtitles for [[The King of Town DVD Commentary]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary]]? About half of the audio of both isn't synced to the video, and I didn't realise it would look different on different computers until just now. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
:They are fine for me. What seems to happen with these two is that each line (or each couple of lines) they say in the commentary is triggered at a set frame — which is the same for everybody on each computer. The last frame of each line will be different, but not by much, since the unsynched soundbytes are relatively short. So it seems you don't have to worry about those two, they are just fine :-) (yay!){{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

== Is the Progress Count Off? ==

Before I added the listing for [[what I want]], the total count of toons on the progress meter was 348. However, based on the [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List|list]] of toons, I count 345 — 346 now that I added the newest sbemail. (I'm not counting things that could be subtitled but have no sound — there are six of those). I count 346 toons currently on the list, 22 of which do not exist yet, and there are none tagged stub at the moment. So anyway... what am I missing? (I didn't change the progress meter at all, since my count doesn't jive with what's already there.) {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

::Actually... instead of counting what's on the [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List|list]], I just looked at the count of existing english subtitles (based on the category page which for some reason I can't link to) — it's 327.

This does not mean we include every sound heard in the toon in the subtitles, however. Sound effects essential to the narrative should be included. Sound effects which are not needed to understand the toon should not be included. The sound of The Paper offers no particular information to the reader. Therefore I argue no sound effect. In addition, even if one felt the sound effect was an essential part of the toon, it is accompanied by a visual every time, and as such the sound effect becomes even more unnecessary as the visual part of The Paper serves the same function as the sound. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
::::I agree as well :-/{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
There are other sound-effects that are even more relevant to some storylines, and we should discuss them here as well. [[The Geddup Noise]] and the Chairscoot, for example. I don't believe that it's helpful to include The Geddup Noise in every subtitles script except maybe one or two. The sfx would clutter. Including "preeeow!" is usually easier because nothing else happens when the paper comes down. However, I believe that we should have a common standard for those sound effects. In the end, it will be more helpful to only include them in an email when they are relevant for the story. While this might be perceived as an inconsistency across the subtitles by some viewers, it will keep the subtitles generally clean and easier to read.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
:I disagree. So long as actual dialogue doesn't interfere, the geddup noise and the paper noise are important to be included every time they occur (I feel more strongly about the paper). There is usually no other noise surrounding them anyway. If we include them somethetimes but not other times, then I think it would be reasonable for someone who can't hear the toon to conclude that there is silence when it isn't noted, and giving them that impression is inaccurate and unfair. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
::If someone cannot hear the toon, then the absence of a sfx in the subtitles might very well leave the impression that there is no sound. Is it a mistaken impression? Well, of course. I ask, though, that we consider whether it is relevant. Although these subtitles are not solely for the hearing impaired, let's ask whether a hearing-impaired person is misled substantially by its exclusion. I would suggest that its inclusion is not quite "unfair", as the sfx of The Paper adds nothing of substance to the plot. Additionally, its absence allows the line preceding to remain onscreen longer, which is at times essential for readability. Finally, hearing-impaired people certainly are aware that some things make sounds that they not only cannot perceive but do not really need to perceive. If a hearing-impaired person learned from a friend that The Paper makes this weird sound that isn't noted in the transcript, my assumption would be that they would simply shrug and say, "That's interesting." I doubt they would feel cheated that we failed to spell out the onomatapoea of a sound they cannot hear anyway. In summary, there are no compelling reasons I can see to suggest we need to include it, and at least a few compelling reasons not to. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

:::How then, we were to not include The Paper's noise, would you explain to a deaf person the "preeeeow" in [[part-time job]] and the "PREEEOW!!" in [[lady fan]]? I found those jokes funny because I've heard the noise so many times. This is a very compelling reason to include these types of sound in every instance. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:03, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
::::To clarify, I never said anything about anyone being hearing-impaired. I said someone who can't hear the toon, which includes anyone who has the sound off for whatever reason. When I watch a toon that's been muted, it is a palpable omission if certain sound effects are left out, including the paper. In short, in the back of my mind part of me is wondering if it really was silent, even if I consciously know that the paper must have made a sound because it always does. It seems empty. For the same reason, we subtitle the spoken parts of the email text themselves, even though it would be possible to conclude simply from the fact that the text is on the screen that Strong Bad is probably reading it. The subtitles let me know for sure. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

== Adding Subtitles section and other Issues ==
I was going to play around with adding subtitle links to other sections after not finding any but it turns out that you already have a template meant for that, but it doesn't seem to be working!? [[Decemberween_Sweet_Cuppin%27_Cakes#External_Links|This section]] and apparently [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template%3AsubtitlesLinks other sections] too, but when I click on these pages the template does not even appear on the source wikicode. Anyway I'll look into that and see if the [[Template:subtitlesLinks|template]] can be fixed.

In another matter, I just finished [[Subtitles:dween cakes/es|fixing]] a Spanish translation made for the same aforementioned toon. The subtitles guidelines clearly state that native speakers (or near-native) should be the ones working on the translations, and we should find a way to stress that a little more. However, I really do appreciate having to make minor changes here and these instead of translating from scratch. To that end I want to create a [[:Category:Notice_Templates|notice]] for the subtitles that would tag a translation as "incomplete" or in need of verification. (I'll do that shortly.) My only concern is that the inclusion of the template would not allow the subtitling software read it (which I doubt since they all already have a [[Template:subtitles|template]] attached to them). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

'''Update:''' I have created the [[:Category:Subtitles in Need of Verification|following category]] along with the appropriate templates for tagging translations. The category description itself describes what they are for: there needs to be a way to identify which translations are accurate and which still need a little work. Translators that are not fluent in the translated language ''must'' place this template on the translation. That way little things (such as idioms) can be translated correctly by a native speaker. There should be a section in the main page that alludes to this. I guess I should add that shortly. To that end, I plan on adding the template to [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List|all French and Spanish translations]] later in the day, so that, as they are verified, the template is removed from these and "marked off". I might also tag the German translations but I'm guessing E.L.Cool did the Hebrew ones and I know he is a native Hebrew speaker. That's all for now. Please tell me what you think! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

:Good work with the template! No need to tag the German translations, they were done or proofread by native speakers.

== Translation Guidelines ==

<blockquote>Always start from the English subtitles. This saves a lot of time and work, because then, the frame numbers only have to be found once. Use the same <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> values for all languages.</blockquote>

Do we want to phrase it this way? I can imagine a scenario where this would lead to a poorer subtitling. First, if the English is not subtitled well, we're basically asking the translator to not improve it, which is, in a word, stupid. Second, there will be times when for the timing of a joke to work right, or for the reader to have sufficient time to read the subtitle, the <code>start</code> or <code>end</code> values may need to vary. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to word it. Thoughts welcome. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:I'm not sure how to respond to question. I can give you a hazy answer, at best. Generally speaking, it is MUCH easier for a translator to take the original subtitles XML page and simply reword the idea being expressed by the text. As least for most romance languages word placement (in grammar) is similar enough that the right timing for an english translation will correlate with the right timing for an adequate translation. That is, when something is said in the english subtitles, the same thing should be said in the <insert favorite foreign language here> translation. Most english subtitles also go by transcript (I beleive) so if the English transcript is well-written, a skilled translator should not have much trouble conveying the same idea. What's left would be improper timing in the original english subtitle. If that is the case, those subtitles would need to be re-timed (or words re-split). Any re-timings can be fixed in other translations, while re-splits can be notified with a {{tl|fixtranslation}} tag, and a note in each translation's discussion. Again, as for timings/splits having to be different across translations I consider that to be an unlikely occurrence, and not necessarily a serious impact in translation quality. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
:I have also added a note suggesting that the translated toon be watched in order to make sure that the translation went ok. I figure if any inconsistencies arise they can be caught there and the translator can choose to change index times if need be. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

== RTL Necessary? ==
I guess this is more of a viewer implementation issue, but, according to the text:
<blockquote>*If your language is written from the right to the left, put <code>dir="rtl"</code> in the opening <code><transcript></code> tag.</blockquote>
Isn't the RTL property a language-dependent property? If so, shouldn't that be permanently set in the [[Subtitles:Languages]] file? That way:
*Translators that need RTL don't need to "remember to add it" every time a new toon is translated.
*Anyone feeling funny won't put "RTL" in some english toons.
I'm also sure no language has text that is RTL and non-RTL. The only time that I'd see RTL be changed is if non-RTL text is inlined with a translation (in a different language) of RTL text (or vice versa), something H*R I doubt will ever see. This would mean a per-line optional RTL field for the viewer. Anyway. I just wanted to put that suggestion up if it's feasible, that way the line I quoted can also be removed. (That would save E.L. Cool some trouble too ;) ) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

::I think you're right, it's a per-language property. And it is actually possible to choose an alternate direction within a subtitles script using a tag. I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle of changing the code, though ;-) Let's see what Phlip says.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== More Visible? ==

Since the purported purpose of this project (nice alliteration) is to help those with difficulty understanding the toons, perhaps it would be better to make them more visible on the pages of individual toons, or perhaps put a link to subtitles on the main page of the wiki.

== Pop-Up Video ==

This subtitles project is super and awesome and super awesome. I was wondering what people would think about using the subtitles framework for a sort of pop-up video-type commentary track. For instance, the script could tell you where to click for Easter eggs, and maybe run short fun facts. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 15:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure the benefit would outweigh the expense on this one. What kind of mechanism did you have in mind for this? I dunno... We've done pretty well just listing Easter eggs and things on the wiki. Transcripts are pretty cut-and-dried most of the time, but including fun facts seems like it would just be opening us to having to argue about them in two places instead of one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
::I'm not sure what you mean by what kind of mechanism. The subtitle mechanism. What expense would there be? I'm willing to do them. And maybe not fun facts. This stemmed from the fact that I can never remember when to click to get the Easter egg while I'm actually watching the toon. I think it would be neat to have an automatic reminder come up. (Also, if I want to see where to click to get an Easter egg, it's in the same place as what the Easter egg contains so I'm spoiled for it.) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the compliment, Homestar Coder ^_^. I had actually thought about adding this kind of functionality for Easter eggs at the beginning of the project. I decided against it for several reasons: displaying popups over a Flash object is a much less stable solution than displaying text next to a Flash object. For example, it does not work at all under Linux. Accordingly, our Easter egg hints might often have to be lengthy descriptions on where to click. The timing for Easter egg hints would also have to be asynchronous to the timing of the subtitles, making our display code a little more complicated. Of course it's all technically possible, and probably not such a great deal to implement in a very simple and robust manner. How usable it would be is another question. I also believe that this would take away a great deal of the toons' charm. Easter eggs are supposed to be hard to find, and listing them in an article is already a great help. I suspect that making them even easier to find might make them somewhat boring. But that might just be me. I guess if I find some time in the next few hours, I could whip up a simple example where I replace the subtitles with Easter eggs and fun facts, just to see how it would be... I ''am'' curious.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Cool, thans for the response. I guess the pop-up thing was misleading; I don't want actual pop-ups showing where to click, just text saying "click the word egg!" or some such. There aren't all that many toons where the description of where to click is that long or difficult. And yes, the timing of Easter eggs is asynch to the timing of subtitles; I was always thinking it would be a separate track, so you couldn't have any subtitles on at the same time. As for removing the charm... well, I actually came up with this idea when I was catching up on my toon-watching, and realized I had two choices to make sure I saw all the Easter eggs: hold down tab during the whole toon (annoying) or reading it on the Wiki, which immediately spoils the joke (most of the Easter egg comments are stuff like "click on the word egg to see Homsar cracking an egg on his head!"). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I would be quite eager to start out with Finnish subtitling cartoons, as I have absolutely nothing to do after I get home from college (weird, huh?). So if someone would add Finnish there, it'd be much obliged. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 16:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">

Hey Strongbad, 
 
'Sup, man? So I was just wonderin', does Strong Badia ever have natural disasters, like hurricanes 'n stuff?
</blockquote>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHA!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Wipe to a silhouette of Bubs as the background flashes orange with every crushing step as he stomps to The King of Towns castle.}''

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

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

''{Transition to Marzipan and Strong Sad at a "Free Art Classes for Losers" seminar. Oriental music and Bubs' footsteps can be heard in the background.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' We must try and understand these creatures! We must try and understand these creatures!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to a chalkboard and a Boombox.}''

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

'''BUBS:''' ''{from the tape, very slowly, almost incoherently}'' Don't eat my chicken wa!

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

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly faster}'' Chicken wa!

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

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly faster}'' Chicken wa!

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

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

''{Strong Sad presses stop.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''COACH Z:''' You have a terlet?!

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

'''BUBS:''' Well, I better mosey on.

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

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

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

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

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

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

*:'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's breaking of the fourth wall is likely in reference to [[Wikipedia:very special episode|very special episodes]], wherein an actor from the TV show will speak directly to the audience at the end of the episode.
*"Bubsgonzola" is a [[Portmanteau|portmanteau]] of "Bubs" and [[Wikipedia: gorgonzola (cheese)|gorgonzola]].
*The idea of mutating after being flushed down a toilet is a reference to things mutating in sewers, a notion popularized by [[Wikipedia:Futurama|Futurama]], [[Wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]], the [[Wikipedia:Alligator_(film)|Alligator]] films, and other creative works.

===Trivia===
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#dune 2|dune 2]]".
*The Japanese symbol when Bubs walks into the water resembles "[[Image:edge.jp.png|20px|端]]", which can mean "end" (however, this character means the end of a physical object like a street, or an edge; end in the sense intended here should be "[[Image:end.jp.png|20px|終]]").
*The Japanese on the King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster reads "[[Image:concession.jp.png|82px|譲歩の人]]" ''Jōho no Hito'', roughly meaning "person of concession" (though the meaning of "concession" is not that of "Concession Stand", rather a synonym for "compromise"). A better translation would be "売店の人" ''Baiten no Hito''.
*The line "We will be kind. We will rewind." was added shortly after the email was released.
*Marzipan's recycling bin has a design on the side that consists of several arrows making a star shape.

[[Image:kidspeedy.PNG|thumb|The slowest poke]]

''"Who's faster than Kid Speedy? EVERYBODY!! This little fatso is the slowest poke in the bunch. Try not to get dead last while avoiding sweets and insults in this hilarious arcade-style race 'em up."'' — Videlectrix

'''Kid Speedy''' is a game in which you play the character Kid Speedy, trying to win a race (or, at least, not come in last). The game was originally mentioned in the [[Videlectrix]] game catalog; it was made available for play on July 10, 2006.

'''Page Title:''' Don't Forget Your Inhaler!

==The Game==
[[Image:Kidspeedy intstructions.PNG|thumb|Instructions]]
To qualify for the next race, you must finish the four-man race third place or above. By collecting vegetables and happy faces, you make Kid Speedy go faster. Collecting junk food or [[Swears|swears]] causes Kid Speedy to lose all speed.
The player can race Kid Speedy on eight different courses: Jelly Woods Fun Run, Cheese Puff Hills, Porkchop Wilds 5K, Egg Mountain Minithon, Probate Flats Walk-a-thon, [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]], The Loop, and Demon's Rub Marathon. Each track has borders resembling the name (example: Cheese Puff Hills has orange borders).

The game consists of two modes: 1 Player and "Online Play". However, all of the runners, in both modes, are computer controlled. The loading online players screen is just for show.

If you do not finish dead last, you "Qualify". If you lose, you get the message "You Came Dead Last."

==The Ending==
[[Image:Kidspeedy ending.PNG|thumb|YOU GOT NOT DEAD LAST!]]
''{Three runners are standing on a stand, cheering. A blimp flies overhead reading "WIN!" The camera pans left to Kid Speedy, who is bouncing up and down.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{subtitled}'' CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GOT NOT DEAD LAST!

''{Kid Speedy walks off-screen to the left and enters a city scene. He is walking down a sidewalk beside a brick wall.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{subtitled}'' KID SPEEDY WON A 2 DOLLAR CONSOLATION PRIZE...

''{Kid Speedy enters a room with a woman and television set inside. Kid Speedy bounces up and down again. Kid Speedy's dialogue is in white subtitles while his mom's is yellow.}''

'''KID SPEEDY:''' ''{subtitled}'' MOM! I WON 2 BUCKS!

'''KID SPEEDY'S MOM:''' ''{subtitled}'' NOW WE HAVE ENOUGH TO GET THE ORPHANAGE ITS OPERATION!

'''KID SPEEDY'S MOM:''' ''{subtitled}'' HOORAY! 
'''KID SPEEDY:''' ''{simutaneously; subtitled}'' HOORAY!

''{A screen showing yellow, blown-up text "the end" appears.}''

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Kidspeedy strong sad mode.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad mode]]
===Explanations===
*The term "Race 'em up" is based on the more logically named term "Shoot 'em up".
*Kid Speedy is most likely a parody of "learning" computer games.
**Speed is earned by eating healthful foods, and lost by eating junk food.

===Trivia===
*Each race starts with the message "Ready! Set! Ok, now go."
*If you win the game, you unlock "Strong Sad Mode", where your character becomes {{Film|Strong Sad}}. However, during the ending scene, or in the losing sequence if you come dead last, your character will change back to Kid Speedy.
*When you play the last race, a group of runners from [[50K Racewalker]] will pass you and your opponents very quickly.
[[Image:Kid speedy box art.PNG|thumb|Kid Speedy box art]]
*Currently, the box art for Kid Speedy reads "BOX ART UNAVAILABLE!".

===Glitches===
*On certain browsers (Such as Netscape Communicator 4.7) Kid Speedy's slowest opponent is absent. While getting second place is extremely difficult it's impossible to lose since he can rank no lower than third.

===Inside References===
*"NEB", a possible opponent in Online Mode, may be a reference to [[Nebulon]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Indiana" and "The Loop" levels are likely inspired by the the arcade racing game, [[Wikipedia:Cruis'n USA|Cruis'n USA]], which features Chicago and Indiana venues.
*"Wide Loading" (on the [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]]) is a reference to the "Wide Load" sign which appears on trucks carrying large items. It is also used as a slang term for "fat".
*On the flash file of Kid Speedy, there are three other runners to the left of the screen and they seem to be wearing colors of flags: [[Wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]] and [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]]. The other runner wears white, red, and green. This may be the flag of [[Wikipedia:Burundi|Burundi]], [[Wikipedia:Italy|Italy]], [[Wikipedia:Algeria|Algeria]], [[Wikipedia:Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], [[Wikipedia:Hungary|Hungary]], [[Wikipedia:Iran|Iran]], or [[Wikipedia:Oman|Oman]]. These runners are later seen racing ahead to the finish line in the 8th race, as well as in the ending.
*When Kid Speedy trips on the finish line, he does so in the same manner and sound as does the character in [[wikipedia:NES|NES's]] Track & Field I.
*The end sequence is a reference to the common movie theme of competing in a race or other competition to win money to either save an orphange, or pay for an operation. In this case, it was to pay for an operation FOR an orphanage.

===Possible Names in Online Mode===
*There are several possible names that you can get as opponents in Online Mode. Each three-letter name includes a number following their name, while four-letter names do not.
**BAM
**BOB
**[[Dan|DAN]]
**DING
**FMV
**FOOP
**GOB
**JAM
**JIM
**[[Nebulon|NEB]]
**[[Wikipedia: Pogs|POG]]
**QUA
**RIT
**SOT
**STAN
**TOD

Eh! Steve!

JudgeDeadd — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 09:06:33 GMT

JudgeDeadd:

[[Image:ehsteve.png|thumb|Watch out for Eh! Steve!]]
Much as [[Strong Bad]] became the unplanned "star" of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner website]], so has '''Eh! Steve''' become the scene-stealer of [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. His name is also his catchphrase, and [[The Wheelchair]] is his arch-rival, for reasons that aren't quite clear.

==Cameos==
*He is depicted in a drawing wearing a tuxedo by artist [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]] under the title ''"Eh, Steven."'', as seen in the email [[different town]].
*Eh! Steve also makes a brief cameo in [[haircut]] after [[Strong Mad]] connects the "[[Ready For Primetime]]" hairstyle with Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, prompting Strong Bad to draw a tiny version of the elusive cartoon character.
*In the [[Teen Girl Squad]]/Sweet Cuppin' Cakes crossover toon in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], Eh! Steve appears as [[Cheerleader]]'s date for the Friday Night Dance, wearing a #9 jersey.
*In an easter egg in the email [[kids' book]], Eh! Steve appears. When clicked, Strong Bad draws in the wheelchair about to catch Eh! Steve in a trap.
*In an easter egg in [[Weclome Back]], he seems to have recorded a CD along with [[The Wheelchair|"Wheelchair Man"]] and "Fresh Juice" (likely [[Sherlock]]).

==Transcript==
''{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, howdy, stranger!

'''BUBS:''' Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unimpressed}'' Uh, I know. It's a joke.

'''BUBS:''' That's hilarious. How was your vacation?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was tout de suite! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour ''{the tour map pops up}'' of bead shops and topiary gardens.

''{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}''
:Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
:Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
:Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
:Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
:Rockin' the spot.
:Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, jah! And don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.

''{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $π"}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a little light in the leftovers!

''{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, and comes back on from the right and settles on his head. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I bet you drove the shape-ed plants wild.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?

'''BUBS:''' I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.

''{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}''

'''BUBS:''' Baloney! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!

''{An Atari seagull flies past.}''

'''BUBS:''' You shut your face!

''{Cut back to the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well that's great!

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks in}'' Same here. I spent two glorious weeks at Gluten Camp. I learned more about this oft-misunderstood plant protein than I ever thought possible.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' What''eva!'' ''{puts a time card in the time clock}'' I was across the lake at Glutton Camp. And we challenged those pansies to an obstacle course!

''{Cut to the obstacle course, pan across to see Strong Sad and the King of Town stuck in two tire swings.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, should we call it a draw?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hecks no! I got stuck in here 10 minutes before you!

''{Pan across to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Let's go, Glorten Camp! Glorten Camp is pain and scranin' on yous!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah? Well while you slo-mos were slounching around on your haunchy laurels, I was checking the most amazing email of my career!

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, holding the Lappy, on a plane. Screen markers and a recording light are visible, as though viewed through a camcorder. Strong Bad leans in and adjusts the focus.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Lappy, when I mash record on that camera, we're gonna perform the world's first death-defying midair SBEmail check! We'll make the cover of all the latest blogs! Now, are you psyched?! I'm psyched, are you psyched?!? OK, 3! 2! 1!

''{Strong Bad leans in and presses a button on the camera. Cut through static to Strong Bad standing on the ground. The camera drops to the ground and slowly falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the believing is hard to be doing, because that was so incredible! We met so many celebrities in midair! And the part with the ''Narwhal'' ''{said "Nar-wayel"}'' was ''so'' illegal.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, back at the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cuh-rap! What am I, your dad? I can't believe I pulled the old "mash Stop when you think you're mashing Record and mash Record when you think you're mashing Stop" routine on myself.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if we've all been on vacation, who's been taking care of the website?

''{Homestar Runner walks in, tired, wearing a dressing gown, a nightcap and [[Nebulon]] slippers, with a cinnamon 5 o'clock shadow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' What's up, my brothers? Let no one say the Homestar Runner don't know how to nap. What is it, like mid-May or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, try "early July."

''{Zoom in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I slept through June!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

''{Zoom in even tighter.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! Bet Agatha Christie would never sleep through June... neither would Angela Lansbury.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aren't they the same person?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yep.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think they are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, they definitely are.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's settled then. Now, what's this I hear about some of you guys sleeping through June? I'll let it slide this time, but June-sleepers will not be tolerated from this day henceforth. Now, whose turn was it to bring the doughnuts?

'''EVERYONE:''' Yours.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll let it slide this time, but doughnut-rememberers will dough-not be tolerated from now on. All right, everybody, everybody. It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com. Now, places! And...

''{Cut to everyone standing in regular clothes in front of a plain blue background. The words "everybody, everybody" appear in front of them. The music from the Intro page plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody!

==Easter Eggs==
* In Homsar's scene, click on the "Steven Inches" sign to see a "The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve" album cover. On the bottom it lists the songs ''Sweet Cups and Cakes'' by Wheelchair Man, ''Eh, Steve's Dream'' by Eh, Steve!, and ''Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues'' by Fresh Juice.
* When the King of Town first appears, click on his crown to see his "I'm with Glutton Camp" T-shirt.
* Click on the left "everybody" at the end of the toon to see what Pom Pom and The Poopsmith presumably did during their summer vacation.
:''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are both leaning on the palm tree on the deserted island. They are both wearing sunglasses. After a few moments, a thought cloud appears and reveals that Pom Pom is thinking of a baloney (or bologna) sandwich. Another one appears shortly afterwards and shows that the Poopsmith is too.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*This toon refers to the real-life vacation that [[The Brothers Chaps]] took in the late spring/early summer of 2006, during which time the site went nearly seven weeks (48 days) without a major update (there were various minor updates during this period, but no toons).
*The Baloney Truck is a spoof on the [[wikipedia:Ice_cream_truck|Ice Cream Truck/Van]], which is popular in some parts of the world.
*[[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] and [[Wikipedia:Angela Lansbury|Angela Lansbury]] are, in fact, not the same person. Christie was an English crime fiction writer and Lansbury is an English-born American actress most famous for her role (as a crime fiction author) on [[Wikipedia:Murder, She Wrote|Murder, She Wrote]]. Lansbury however did play Christie's fictional sleuth [[Wikipedia:Miss Marple|Miss Marple]] in the movie adaptation of Christie's [[Wikipedia:The Mirror Crack'd|The Mirror Crack'd]].

**"I Heart Baloney"—A baloney sandwich with heart-shaped bread.
**"Dog Food"—A baloney sandwich with bone-shaped bread.
**"It's Not a Real Popsicle"—A baloney sandwich with popsicle-shaped bread.
**"Inside Out"—A piece of bread between two slices of baloney.

===Remarks===
* Strong Bad's parachute apparently has no straps, though he may have donned it after accidently "mashing" stop.

===Inside References===
* [[Pants|Pantsburg]] is one of the [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|places Strong Bad visited]] on his [[vacation]], and one of the places in [[Limozeen]]'s [[Limozeen#Zeenin' Across the Country 2001|Zeenin' Across the Country tour]].
* When Strong Bad says "I can't believe I pulled the 'Mash stop when you think you're mashing record, and mash record when you think you're mashing stop' on myself" is a reference to [[Mashing_Go|mashing go/play on something]]
* The Atari seagull is from [[huttah!]]
* Marzipan's [[Cool Tapes]] band comes from [[Cool Things]].
* The toon's title includes [[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]].
* Homestar's slippers resemble [[Nebulon]].
* Bubs' "Baloney Sammich Truck" has a [[Marshie]] look-alike sandwich on the top.
* Bubs pronounces "shaped plants" the same way Strong Bad and Teenage Homestar pronounced "striped pants" in [[highschool]].
* One of the places the Cool Tapes band visits is East Westerburg. Westerberg (spelled slightly differently) was visited in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], and it was to the east of the player's starting location.
* Pom Pom is wearing [[Dangeresque Too]]'s sunglasses.
* In addition to the two ropes attaching the tire swings to the tree at the obstacle course, a third rope hangs from the sky and sways gently, as did the rope featured in [[A Folky Tale]].
* The "Gumball Surprise" is another example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].

===Real-World References===
*The city "The Slickster" (as seen on the Cool Tapes tour map) is a reference to former WWF manager Kenneth Johnson, who's ring name was Slick and often called "The Slickster" by the commentators.
*The city of "Thuxtable" is a reference to Theo Huxtable, a character on The Cosby Show. Theo Huxtable was previously mentioned in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], when Coach Z dressed up like him.
*The design of the Cool Tapes Marzipan amps are based on the design of the classic Marshall amp, as seen in [[different town]].
*A Vlog is a Video Blog, made popular by Youtube.com, a short video of the host sharing a part of their lives.
*The page title references the theme song from the sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:Welcome Back, Kotter|Welcome Back, Kotter]]'' ("Welcome back / Your dreams were your ticket out...").
*Athletic competitions between summer camps occupying the same campground are common in family movies and cartoons.
*The "Freewheelin' Eh! Steve" album cover is a reference to Bob Dylan's early album, "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan."
*Homestar's shirt is a reference to the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0088258|This Is Spinal Tap]]'', in which [[Wikipedia:Nigel Tufnel|Nigel Tufnel]] is seen wearing the same shirt featuring a green ribcage and later remarks "This is what I sleep in sometimes".
*The Eh! Steve song "Sweet Cups and Cakes" is likely a ''[[IMDB:tt0088258|This Is Spinal Tap]]'' reference as well, since "Cups and Cakes" is the name of a Spinal Tap song.
*Strong Mad's violin styled bass bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Hofner|Hofner]] bass played by [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]]. However Strong Mad plays right handed, while Paul is a lefty.
*Strong Bad's Narwhal reference is a reference to the popular internet game [http://www.spinnerdisc.com/narwhaldiving.html Narwhal Diving] at the website [http://www.spinnerdisc.com Spinnerdisc.com] (which in turn seems to be a reference to the They Might Be Giant's song Nyquil Driver).
*The sign on the merchandise table that reads "Merch Masala" might be a reference to the 1985 Hindi movie [[Wikipedia:Mirch Masala|Mirch Masala]]
* Marzipan referring to Strong Mad simply as "Our bass player" is a reference to the film ''That Thing You Do!'', about a fictional rock band in the 60s. The bass player in the group is always reffered to and listed in the credits as simply "The Bass Player" (Although in a short segment discussing what happened to the members of the group afterwards, he is called "T.B Player"

==Bologna==
We can leave the Baloney in Baloney Sammich Truck but otherwise it should be bologna
:Both are accepted spellings... [http://m-w.com/dictionary/baloney Merriam-Webster] lists Baloney as a variant of Bologna. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 15:59, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
::Those words have undergone differentiation. ''Baloney'' is properly only "nonsense", and the meat product is ''bologna''. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::It's dot com, I don't think that's a true statement. M-W shows it as a variant of "bologna"; if you have a dictionary citation where it's noted that "baloney" doesn't mean "bologna" anymore, then provide it. Especially as they use the "baloney" spelling in the toon, and barring absence of evidence that it cannot adequately mean the meat, we should use the "baloney" spelling throughout. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::: Touché. Sandwich was also misspelled as "sammich" so the explicit use of "baloney' was probably just word play.
:::::"Sammich" is not a documented and accepted spelling of "sandwich", however. "Baloney" is. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::: I have personally never seen the sausage meat being spelled as anything except "bologna" in any ''serious'' context. Bubs' truck is hardly what I'd call serious. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::Because simple personal experience is limited, we have lexicographers whose job it is to determine actual usage on the broad scale. Above it is shown that Merriam Webster's lexicographic staff feels "baloney" is an accepted spelling of the meat product. [http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=5771&dict=CALD Cambridge] and [http://www.bartleby.com/61/79/B0047900.html American Heritage] agree. Oxford seems to disagree, however Oxford is a primarily British dictionary which also documents US usage, so the actual US dictionaries should take precedence here. Note that I am not saying "bologna" would be wrong, but that it would be inconsistent with TBC's usage on the site, and as such would be less appropriate for the knowledge base. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
::::::I don't think the outcome of this discussion is very important, but I will note that searching Oscar Meyer's (probably the manufacturer of the most bologna in North America) website for [http://www.kraftfoods.com/oscarmayer/main.aspx?s=recipe&m=recipe%2Fknet_recipe_grid&u1=keyword&u2=baloney baloney] reveals zero occurrences, and searching for [http://www.kraftfoods.com/oscarmayer/main.aspx?s=recipe&m=recipe%2Fknet_recipe_grid&u1=keyword&u2=bologna bologna] reveals several. My vote is to refer to it as "bologna" everywhere but "Baloney Sammich Truck". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Of course that's a branding choice on Oscar Meyer's part (the song wouldn't be so great if they had a way with b-a-l-o-n-e-y!), as "baloney" is the branding choice for [http://www.maloneysbaloney.com/ Maloney's Baloney]. Then there's LightLife's [http://www.solae.com/soyproteinproducts/products/foneybaloney.jsp Foney Baloney], another clear branding choice. One would expect branding usage to be consistent, regardless of whether the word is real or not, or whether the form of the word is more, less, or equally prevalent in American English. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Also, I think it's strange to assume that "baloney" is TBC's preferred spelling based off of "Baloney Sammich Truck"; no one's arguing that "sandwich" should be respelled "sammich" everywhere in the article... :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::Again, as I noted above, no one would argue that, because "sammich" is not a lexicographically-accepted word. "Baloney" is, as I think I have proven, as correct a spelling as "bologna" in American English, and to insist on using a spelling TBC did not use in this case seems a little odd to me. Compare to this: what if they did a toon about "pop" and people argued we should call it "soda" because it matches their personal experience? This is NOT a case of them making up a word or spelling out a slang term, and the line of thinking we'd use if they called it "ba-low-knee" or something else like that doesn't apply. It's my position that if they use a real spelling of a real word in canon, we should follow suit when discussing canon. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::I think it's pretty much a regional spelling difference, like saying 'soda' or 'pop'. Most people, I would assume, have seen both. Since the only documented instance of the word's spelling is 'baloney', I think we should continue that spelling throughout, although add somewhere "baloney (which can also be spelled bologna)".[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 22:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::If only they had misspelled "truck" — then the case would be clear! Since this isn't the case, I think Trelawney's suggestion is the best compromise, although I would change the parenthetical statement to "(more commonly spelled bologna)". And now I plan to spend no more time thinking about this molehill. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm not questioning the veracity of the various dictionaries you noted, nor am I suggesting that ''baloney'' isn't a variant of ''bologna''. What I am saying is that, given their differentiation, ''baloney'' in the sense of the meat product is a ''needless'' variant (for my source and some excellent further reading, I highly recommend ''[[Special:Booksources/0195161912|Garner's Modern American Usage]]''). As for this toon, I don't have a good answer there. It clearly reads "Baloney" on the truck, which is why I have made no attempt to change the references in the transcript. Whether or not TBC were being tongue-in-cheek with the spelling is anyone's guess, but, as much as I dislike it, we should spell it consistently without a better reason not to. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I will say that because bubs spelled Sandwich as Sammich. We should spell it sammich the whole article and i'm off! {{unsigned|Taste of your medicine|03:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)}}

::I'd just like to add that "sammich" is pronounced differently to "sandwich", so it was clear which one to transcribe. When Bubs said "I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!" he clearly says "sammich", and when he says "I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach" he clearly says "sandwich". Yes, I thought of that while I was transcribing - I considered using "sammich" everywhere too, but that wasn't what he was ''saying''. With baloney/bologna, there is no such differentiation - the only difference is in the spelling, and the decision boils down to "we should use the correct term" vs "we should use the term that's still an accepted variant, but would be consistant". I think the latter is the better choice. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:53, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

==David Bowie==
The David Bowie fact is fine the way it is. Stop deleting information from it. First of all, it has gone through the STUFF process, but even if it hadn't, it shouldn't be changed. Here's why:
*The introductory sentence (with "look david bowie") is really more like an extension of the walkthrough. Just as in transcripts, it's better not to have links in this area.
*We have a long tradition of giving a sentence-or-two summary of the relevant parts of a Wikipedia article. You shouldn't ''have'' to click on the link to get a suitable explanation, especially when you would have to wade through quite a bit of information just to arrive at what we already have on our article page.
*The three subbullets address the important points in an ordered, concise, and clear manner, and then the last one ties in the subject matter to another H*R reference.

''"No man slays dungeons quite like the Thy Dungeonman from the Thy Dungeonman computer game series. Hi-res graphics improve on the no-res graphics from the previous text-onlyventures. Get ye flask, fool!"'' - [[Videlectrix]]

'''Thy Dungeonman III''' is the second sequel in the [[Thy Dungeonman]] franchise produced by [[Videlectrix]]. The most notable feature of this sequel is the addition of graphics, with imitation low-resolution still frames accompanying each room of the game. As with the first two installments in the the Dungeonman series, the game is a text-command-controlled adventure centered around a knight's escape from a dungeon.

'''Page Title:''' Behold Thy Graphics!!

'''Date:''' April 24, 2006

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The game says various things if it cannot understand what you typed:
**Say who, dungeonbabbler?
**<nowiki>'</nowiki>''{whatever you typed}''<nowiki>'</nowiki> is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
**I don't understand you. I cannot understand you. I don't understand the things you say. I can't understand a single word.
**Thou're not very goodst at thist gamest.
**Make the bad typing go away, Mommy.
**Sorry. Thy Dungeonman parser is english only. Spanish and Idiot not spake here.
**Huh?
**Say what now?
*A sound similar to a floppy disk being accessed plays before a new graphic appears, as though it's being `loaded.'
*The game says various things if you try to go in an unavailable direction from the vicinity of Westerburg:
**(north) Thou can't go that way. I guess your copy of "Lonely Dungeon: Westerburg" is out-of-date.
**(east) Go east, eh? Thou're killing me. Thou can't go east. Try again some other time.
**(west) Aren't you the king of wishful thinking. Too bad there are no exits in that direction, because I've heard life is peaceful there.
**(south) No puedo hacerlo. Lo siento, Dungeonhombre.
[[Image:Dungeonman 3 cover back.PNG|thumb|Back cover]]
* You can flip over its box art on the Videlectrix website to read the back, which is a first for their games. The back cover features the Videlectrix logo as well as screenshots of the town, pub, and grabbing minigame. It also has the following text.
<blockquote>Out of the dungeon 
and into the pile 
Videlectrix has 
added multi-bit 
graphics to someone's favorite text adventure! 
Visit LOCATIONS, get ITEMS, and interact 
with PEOPLE-all in vivid monochrome color! 
Short 4-page

for all the letters!) 
It's the final confrontation between Thy 
Dungeonman and the elusive FLASK!! 
Innovative FPG -first 
person getter- action! 
(actual gameplay-type 
screenshots shown!)</blockquote>

===Remarks===

*For some reason, if you type "GO PEE" the game treats it as "EAST" or "GO EAST".
*There is a warp portal that takes you directly inside the dungeon that is accessed by typing "GO IN LOG" or "ENTER LOG" at the creepy woods; however, if you have not yet gotten the flask-grabbing glove, you will be unable to win the game.
*The "pwd" command seems to have been modified, as it now gives your location as "Wastes of Time/Dumb Games/Dungeonman 3/$LOCATION".

===Glitches===

*GET STEIN in monastery. Leave the pot and enter the monastery again, You'll die. Continue by pressing C. Now you're stuck - pressing ENTER or clicking does nothing.

===Inside References===

*If you try to pick up the log in the woods west of the crossroads, it says "Painful memories of finishing last in the World's Strongest Dungeonman contest are dredged up." This could be a reference to [[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]].
*When flicking through the hag's scrapbook, if you see the town sign for Rottenscab, it reads "If thou lived here, thou would be home by now". This joke was also made in [[for kids]].
*When you look at the stone bridge, it will tell you that it is notorious for its knife fights. This is a reference to [[personal favorites]], where Coach Z and Pom Pom had a knife fight on a stone bridge.

===Real World References===

*On mistyping, the words "I don't understand the things you say. I can't understand a single word." is attributed to [[They Might Be Giants]]' song [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Fingertips Fingertips].
*The falling man after you grasp the flask is a reference to Myst
*The screen shown when you get the flask for the first time is a reference to the opening sequence of Myst (the image in question also being featured on Myst's original box art).
*The "internal or external command" error message is the message you get in the [[Wikipedia:Windows XP|Windows XP]] console if it doesn't recognise what you type.
*While musing on thoughts of her dead husband, the hag is said to be [[Wikipedia:FernGully|'ferngullying']] and [[Wikipedia:The Land Before Time|'landbeforetiming']], both references to popular early 90's animation franchises.
* One of the possible presents that the hag might have gotten is a: [[Wikipedia:Nintendo_64|Nintendo 64]] Controller (Called an N64 Paddle in this game) The controller is popular for being the first to resurrect the [[Wikipedia:Analog_stick|Analog stick]] having last being used in 1982, It is also popular for its rather unusual but sucessful three-handed design
*The error displayed when you type "Go West" when there is no west exit is a reference to the lyrics of two songs: "King of Wishful Thinking" by the band Go West, and "Go West" by the Village People.

Does anybody know where I can find this font? I've searched the internet for it for about a month now, but haven't found anything. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 18:59, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Thousandth article ==
This is the HR Wiki's 1,000th article. Just letting everybody know.

:<s>Uh, no it's not. We already [[Talk:Game Sightings|determined]] [[Game Sightings]] was the 1,000th article. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)</s>

:Wait, did a few pages get deleted somewhere? I just checked the [[Special:Newpages]] page and it looks like this really is the thousandth article. Wow! I feel strangely honored to have been a part of this. I never imagined we'd reach a thousand articles back when I started the wiki. Good jorb, everyone! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::No, I don't think it has anything to do with deleted pages. The number on the [[Main Page]] doesn't include pages marked as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]], so as pages are marked and un-marked as stubs, the number changes accordingly. [[Game Sightings]] was the first page to be the 1,000th page. [[Fonts]] appears to be the 1,000th page right now, but if someone marked an article as a stub in a few minutes, the page created after [[Fonts]] (which right now is [[do over]]) would appear to be the 1,000th page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

==Font Examples==

Would it be possible to write a little example of each font? I'm not much one for that sort of 'hacking, coding' type thing, so if anyone else wants to tackle it - provided it's possible to do so while still properly [[HRWiki:Validation committee|validated]] and whatnot, go right ahead. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:44, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know where the "hacking, coding" comes in, but why not take a screenshot of each of the fonts as used on the site? — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 18:56, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah right, that could work. I just meant hacking and coding as in 'you can't just change the font on the wiki with a little dropdown bar', at least I don't think you can... I just think it would look cleaner than screenshots. But if it's not possible, I'll get on the screenshots. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:::It's not possible. If you change the font of a bit of text on a web page, it only shows up in that font if the visitor has that font installed. Anyway, if you want it to look "cleaner", I just suggest that you make each screenshot the same dimensions. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 20:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:I've now added previews. However they're not the same size, and they could be presented better. But, at least we have previews for now. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

::And now I've put it all in a table. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 02:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

I think the examples should look more like this:

:Ugh! The old font samples were ''way'' superior. First, they didn't take up as much space. Second, they provided a better context for the fonts. If someone wants to see all the characters of a font, they should go to Wikipedia or [http://myfonts.com MyFonts.com]. Reverting... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:01, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: Which, as I can see, is not what happened in the last edit. My bad. I'm actually kinda siding with the big Quick Brown Fox blocks... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:07, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::We don't need to see every character, which only serves to stretch out the table so it doesn't fit on one or one and a half screens. What is better is to see how each font is used on the site in a representative screenshot. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:13, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::: I do see where you're coming from, and I don't care enough to argue the point. But I also see where Trogga and The Paper are coming from. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:16, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::I think the "Quick brown fox" examples are too big. Having screenshots of the fonts in use on H*R.com is better because you can see where its used (even if they are all different sizes). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 07:55, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== External Links ==

Shouldn't there be a link to a spot to download the font? [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

:That would be ideal. However, before doing so make sure that the font is free. This will take some research because a lot of fonts that aren't meant to be free are available illegally on some free font sites, and linking to those is out of the question. In other words, just because a font is on some free font site doesn't mean that it's legal, so be very very careful. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 21:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

So I consulted WhatTheFont and got an even closer result, but the loop of the "P" is two "pixels" instead of three. So it's not that either. Any ideas?

'''STRONG BAD:''' There once was a man named email, and he did his best for a while.

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Strong Bad, 
So, if you're so good with the ladies, 
how come I never see you with any? The 
only female I've seen even near you is 
Marzipan, and she doesn't seem to 
like you very much. 
 
Ok, bye. 
Emily C., Ohio</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stumbles with the second sentence, saying "The only female I've eev see sageento—" before correcting himself. Also, he pronounces "Ohio" as "Owa-hoh"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What are you talkin about, Emily? Marzipan can't keep her hands offa me! In fact, I had to change my screen name cause she was buggin me so much. ''{clears screen}'' I'd be like, tryin' to write an email like... ''{typing}'' "Dear The Cheat" ''{stops typing}'' And then—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: 'sup strong bad? i heart you so much."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — it'd come up, and I'd be like close the window. ''{closes message, continues typing}'' "Anyways, The Cheat, I was going"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: i like all your muscles," Strong Bad closes it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — "to ask you"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: do you go hooray 4 dolphins? i do," Strong Bad closes it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — "if I could borrow"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: (a long string of characters typed in Webdings font)," Strong Bad closes it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — "that big knife"—

''{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: are you trying to fade me?," Strong bad closes it, clears the screen, and continues typing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if that's not enough proof ''{types "enüff prüf"}'', just watch this...

''{Scene cuts to Marzipan out in the field next to a sign laying against a cinder block saying '''Free Concert For Birds'''}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Oh yeah, oh yeah, and I really don't like him at all.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{Combs back nonexistent "hair" and puts his comb into the back of his pants}'' Is that another song about Homestar?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, it's about you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' About being in love with me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's disgusting. And I don't like your outfit.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not telling you my new screen name.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... I don't even know what a scream name is, so there you go. And if you'd please leave now, because I'm tinkering with my guitar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, well? Say you like me.

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, leave me alone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say you like me?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then do you like ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No! You're just saying your name fast. Go away.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about that guy who's brothers with Strong Mad and ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Sad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's still you! No!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how about this one? Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh... I guess...

'''STRONG BAD:''' See! I told you you loved me! Ooh! I knew it all along! Wait until my friend Emily from Ohio ''{pronounces it "O-hee-oh"}'' hears this!!! Oooh, I knew she loves me! ''{gibberish}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Whatever... Come on Carol, let's rock.

''{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad's computer room. Three messages pop up from The Cheat:}''

'''cheatachu72:''' yo SB! you there? you still want that knife? 
'''cheatachu72:''' ello? 
'''cheatachu72:''' i gots to jet. makin' a video for a client 
'''cheatachu72 has signed off''' ''{sign off is punctuated by a vocalized imitation of AOL Instant Messenger's sign off sound}''

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

''{After a while, a message pops up from Strong Sad:}''

'''depressio111117:''' vinegar toast? did you really think i'd fall for that?

<blockquote>Yeah yeah

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you! ''{Birds chirp}'' Those are the birds.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
[[Image:don't decode this.png|thumb|Don't decode this]]
*The Webdings message translates to:<blockquote>'''hooray4dolphins:''' i seriou sly hope you didn't somehow decode this. it would make me real sad.</blockquote>
*Strong Sad's message is a reference to how [[Mike Chapman]] once tried to feed his brother [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] brownies with toothpaste in them, only to have the younger brother retaliate with vinegar toast. (From [[Atlanta Journal Constitution Interview - 21 Jul 2003|ajc interview]])
*When this email first came out, [[The Brothers Chaps]] registered the AIM screen name hooray4dolphins. It was always online with an away message, saying that Marzipan wasn't really using that screen name, since she doesn't use computers.
*This email marks the first time Marzipan's guitar has been referred to as [[Carol]]. Previously, the guitar had been nameless, and had an M on it instead.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says that "Marzipan can't keep her hands offa" him, which is ironic since Marzipan [[Lack of Visible Arms|doesn't have any visible hands]].
*Besides "Do you like Strong Bad," the [[Wikipedia:Double_negative#Triple_and_quadruple_negatives|quadruple negative]] "Don't not dislike not Strong Bad" could be interpreted to mean that Marzipan dislikes everyone except Strong Bad, rather than specifically liking him.
*In The Cheat's video, Marzipan's guitar reads "Carl" instead of "Carol".
*During The Cheat's video, the following images flash by:
**Marzipan in a field
**A road
**Cup of coffee
**Beefy arm
**"Hello My Name Is" Tag
**Teeth
**Florida
**A Shirt with a gold necklace
**Alarm Clock
*Marzipan's supposed screen name, "hooray4dolphins", is an example of [[Internet Slang]].

===Goofs===
*During the conversation with Marzipan, as Strong Bad turns his head, his left eye is smaller. The same goof happens again in the beginning of [[Where's the Cheat?]], only it was the other eye.

===Glitches===
*If you turn up the contrast at the very end of the email when the IMs are on the screen, the IM boxes don't change with the rest of the screen. They just stay black.

===Inside References===
*When Marzipan Instant Messages Strong Bad, she says "Are you trying to fade me?," which is a reference to the name of [[Coach Z]]'s new hit single, "[[These peoples try to fade me|These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," included on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].
*Marzipan's "Free Concert for Birds" sign leans up against a cinder block, just like the [[Stop Sign|stop sign]] in [[Strong Badia]].
*This email mentions a [[Big Knife]].
*The Cheat's screen name, cheatachu72, was originally seen in the email [[i she be]].
*Strong Sad's screen name is the same as his email address, as shown in [[depressio]].
*The title of the pop-ups is the first appearance of the word [[Thyme]].

===Real-World References===
*The IM boxes that pop up on Strong Bad's computer look like those seen in [[Wikipedia:Windows 3.x|Microsoft Windows 3.X]], which definitely fits with Strong Bad's computer, as the 3.X series was made for the then-state-of-the-art [[Wikipedia:Intel 80386|386]] PCs.
*This email is the second time we see The Cheat's screen name, which is cheatachu72. This is obviously a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] [[Wikipedia:Pikachu|Pikachu]], to whom The Cheat shares an incredible likeness.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Oh yeah yeah|Marzipan's song]] would later be on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]].
*Marzipan holds another free concert in [[Seasonal Sweaters]].
*"Cheatachu72" is also The Cheat's username when he bids on the breakfast burrito in [[english paper]].
*Strong Bad uses "Video Thyme" (similar to "Message Thyme") to communicate with Larry in [[death metal]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
**The commentary continues into the "Yeah Yeah" music video Easter egg.

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

'''MIKE:''' Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of Marzipan, look who's here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, guys.

'''MIKE:''' Hi—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Hi, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' How does it feel to be featured in your very own Strong Bad Email?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It feels about normal.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's got your name. It's got your name all over it.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' There it is, I'm pointing to it right now.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see. I, uh—I thought this was a particularly thoughtful email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, um, I thought the costume design was very good.

'''MIKE:''' There's... Yeah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' My—my outfit.

'''MIKE:''' It's the same one you're always wearing.

'''MATT:''' Well... It's a good outfit, right?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... Sometimes I change.

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

'''MATT:''' Oh, an interesting note about that last one that popped up was, uh, it spelled out something, and, what was it—

'''MIKE:''' It was in, like—

'''MATT:''' —it spelled out "I really hope you didn't translate this. That would make me sad." And of course—

'''MIKE:''' And it was in, like, Webdings—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or some Dingbats or something and people translated it.

'''MATT:''' It made me really sad.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you notice you reversed my eyes on this one?

'''MATT:''' I—look, I—

'''MIKE:''' I think they are—

'''MATT:''' I don't know...

'''MIKE:''' I think we did something wrong.

'''MATT:''' But they'd be—make sense in perspective, right? The smaller eyes...

'''MIKE:''' But that wasn't why—that's not why...

'''MATT:''' She just has one—one eye smaller than the other?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, just like Strong... Just like Strong Ma—er, uh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's why I get confused later, because I can barely see Strong Bad while I'm talking to him.

'''MATT:''' Oh-ho, see Mike, it's ''your'' fault. You put her eyes on backwards.

'''MIKE:''' Wellll, uh, we'll look into that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Plus everyone forgot to bring the birds in that day, so no one showed up. There were no extras.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I don't think anyone wanted to hear your song, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Mmm, it was a pretty good song.

'''MIKE:''' How was the, uh, did you market it very much? That concert? What promoter did you use?

'''MATT:''' Pass out flyers?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' Go down to the Whole Foods?

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to realize this is all acting. You know, this is just not what I usually do.

'''MATT:''' What do you usually do?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I'm usually gardening.

'''MATT:''' So is—is the playing a guitar all just part of your character?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah. I mean, I play it sometimes, but...for this, you know. I'm—I have a much better guitar than that, usually.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' What's its name?

'''MIKE:''' Carol... Is that just a prop?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It ''is'' a prop.

'''MATT:''' What's your guitar's name?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, Joan.

'''MIKE:''' Carol and Joan, huh?

=== Easter Egg Commentary ===
'''MIKE:''' So here's your video...Marzipan.

'''MATT:''' The Cheat misspelled the name of your—your prop guitar there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he calls it Carl.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know, I know. That's okay.

'''MATT:''' Did you help, like, do the art direction on this one?

'''MIKE:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Have you ever been before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh, uh, I did actually. I—I like The Cheat a lot. ''{slight pause}'' See? There was only one bird there.

=== Fun Facts ===
*[http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/ Whole Foods] is a grocery store specializing in organic food (the kind of place Marzipan would shop).

== ApologetiX ==
*In the booklet for the Christian group ApologetiX's 2003 CD "Adam Up," their guitarist is wearing a Strong Bad shirt. Also, at a show in Cincinnati, Ohio, the guitarist, Karl, wore his Strong Bad shirt (the mask shirt). In the booklet, he is wearing the full body shirt. He's got both!
*At their stop in Big Rapids, Michigan October 2, 2004, the keyboardist, Bill Hubauer, somehow got the Homestar quotes from the main webpage into his piano playing loud "Toons!," "Games!," "Characters!," and "Downloads!" while the lead singer, J. Jackson, was trying to say stuff. So far, no reported repeats of this activity.
*On August 22nd ApologetiX stopped at Elizabethtown, PA. In the middle of the concert, between songs, Karl started singing Trogdor. He also commented on someone's The Cheat hoodie.
*Early 2006 ApologetiX released a Live DVD with snippets between some songs. Karl is seen several times with a Trogdor t-shirt.

== Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ==
*On December 16th 2004 at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, the Beastie Boys used two JumboTron screens on the left and right side of the stage to present to the crowd the first one and a half minutes of [[Everybody to the Limit]]. Even though most of the listeners might have never heard of Homestar Runner or Strong Bad the crowd cheered and clapped their hands rhythmically with the music.

Um, my favorite Strong Bad Email, I'm-a probably say, I like [[virus|the one where they got the virus]], that one was hilarious.

Ron Kiwi asks Strong Bad what his thoughts are on feeding the ducks.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}

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

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' February 17, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 0:40

'''Page Title:''' Tandy 400!!!

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Must...check...emails...

<blockquote class="tandy email">dear strong bad, 
do you ever feed the ducks? personally i think feeding 
the ducks is the greatest thing in the world. what are 
your thoughts on this subject? 
 
your friend, 
ron kiwi</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears screen, typing}'' Unfortunatley, Mr. Kiwi, there are no ducks by my house. But I do have a pretty sweet duck pond simulator for my computer. Check it out, man.

''{Strong Bad types "run “duckpond”", which loads up a game of Duck Pond. It features two ducks swimming around the screen with a hand on the left side of the screen. Strong Bad presses a button and the hand throws a piece of food at the ducks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{trancelike}'' Wow, you're right, Ron. ''{throws another piece of food}'' This is the ''{throws food}'' greatest thing in the world. I mean it's like I'm right there at the pond. Come here, ducky!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down, featuring another link reading "Click here to play “Duck Pond”".}''

== Easter Egg ==
* By feeding ten ducks, you'll unlock an Atari version of the game. Before you play, Strong Bad gives his opinion of it.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, man, these graphics are state-of-the-art...graphics...

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Remarks===
*Feeding the ducks is a British slang term. The "Emailee" could be associated with British slang, or could just enjoy going by the pond.
*When you finish the "state of the art version," it takes you right back to the beginning of the email.
*You used to be able to play the "state of the art version" just like the Tandy version. However, you can't do this anymore.

===Goofs===
*This email is missing the glare in the upper-left corner of the computer screen that is present in other emails.
*Strong Bad spelled "Unfortunately" as "Unfortunatley" in his reply to the email.
*For a split second, duck 2 comes out of the computer.
* It will start itself over eventually

==DVD Version==
*The game Duck Pond is not playable in the DVD version for obvious reasons.
*As well, if you click on the hidden Strong Bad head near the bottom of the Tandy's screen, it takes you straight to a short demo of the Atari 2600 version of Duck Pond.

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I was born to check emails and eat lots of cake!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: dream book</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad 
pop-up book. It was the book of my dreams. 
Kat 
Spokane, Wash.
</blockquote>

''{After reading the email once, Strong Bad repeats it in rap twice. He says "Wash." as the word "wash".}'' 

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

''{Cut back to show The Cheat next to his keyboard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, all right. One more time.

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

''{Strong Bad jumps on his stool and dances as The Cheat plays on his keyboard and dances.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad pop-up book! It was the book of my dreeeams! ''{on "dreams", he jumps up and nearly hits the ceiling}'' There you go, little one. Now get back in there and win me a car!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmatory The Cheat noises; he rushes off.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I feel like that sentence could really apply to anything. ''{moves the cursor up to "pop-up book" and replaces it with "salad".}'' Like, uh, "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad salad. ''{scrolls over toward the other "book" and replaces it with "salad" as well.}'' It was the salad of my dreams." Or maybe like, ''{adds "taco" before each "salad"}'' "I had a dream that my friend had a Strong Bad taco salad. It was the taco salad of my dreams." ''{moves the cursor below the email, types}'' Anyways, a Strong Bad pop-up book. This sounds like a job for: makin' stuff up.

''{Cut to an image of a pop-up book. The inside cover reads "From the libarry [sic] of D. Squirrel" with a dead squirrel drawn in. The inside cover reads "STRONG BAD'S POP-UP BOOK of your dreams by Strong Bad, for Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Strong Bad pop-up book would obviously feature...

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad near two cherubs. The text reads "This is a good kid." A tab is seen under Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...me hangin' out with some of those wingaling babies! ''{The cherubs bob up and down}'' And I'd have a little tab on my flesh-tangle so you could make me talk! ''{As the pop-up Strong Bad, who waves his arms}'' You little almost-naked babies are so cute, I could just dip you in beer batter and fry you right up! ''{As the cherubs, who bob up and down}'' Okay, Mr. Strong Bad! ''{as himself}'' Oh! And don't forget the ab-tab!

''{The tab moves over and Strong Bad's chest obtains Sharpie abs. The page turns to reveal an image of the Tandy reading "HOW TYPE BOX GLOVES?" Two tabs are seen, one to the right of the screen and one on the keyboard. A speaker can also be seen on the keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey look! It's my crappy old computer! Asking the same crappy old questions!

''{The tab on the screen moves and the screen changes to "DELETED!!"}''

'''SPEAKER:''' ''{very indistinctly}'' Deleted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The lake head? What does that mean?

''{The tab goes back, taking the screen with it, and changes to "DELETED!!" again.}''

'''SPEAKER:''' Deleted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Police quest?! This thing is obviously broken.

''{The other tab is pulled, and smoke appears above the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No wonder I got rid of that old buncha beige.

''{The page turns. Strong Sad is seen covered in cement. A forklift and Strong Bad in a construction outfit are seen in the background. The text reads "Strong Sad is covered in Gray cement" with "Gray cement" in a box. A turning wheel is seen on the right, and another tab is seen at the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look! Strong Sad has wandered onto my construction site. What sweet fate did I bestow on him from the cement mixer? ''{The wheel turns, the liquid on Strong Sad turns red, and the box reads "Ram's blood".}'' Ram's blood? ''{The wheel turns, the color becomes light yellow, and the box reads "Boston Cream".}'' Boston cream? ''{Again, to a transitional color and "Magic Eye".}'' Magic Eye? Don't forget the flab-tab! ''{The tab is pulled out, and Strong Sad's upper body flips down to make him look flabbier.}''

''{The page turns to a "NegativeZero" fridge. It has a sticky note on it that reads "2 more eggs!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next page is snack time! What am I gonna have to eat today?

''{The door opens to reveal a single burger patty with two pickle slices on it. A carton of "mmmilk", two eggs, a small paper box, a bottle of "pop!", and a jar of mayo are drawn onto the back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! A real-live burger! Do I get one of these every time I turn the page?!

''{The page turns back to the last one, and then to the fridge again. When the door opens this time, there are two burgers inside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''Two'' burgers! ''{Gavin appears from under a flap and crawls around a little}'' Clearly, this pop-up book is a source of unspeakable power.

''{Spooky music is heard. The page turns to Homestar Runner's image, which has a black eye and two saws stuck through him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why look. It's the Homestar Runner! Bye, the Homestar Runner!

''{The page turns to extremely cartoony images of Strong Bad and The Cheat in front of a cave. The sun can be seen overhead, and there's a tree in front of the cave. There's a tab above the cave and one at the bottom of the page.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rapidly decreasing volume}'' SeeyalaterStrongBaaa...

''{The rays of the sun move.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh! It looks like The Cheato Bandito has stolen all of Senor Muybueno's gold!

''{The tree flips down, revealing a pile of gold underneath.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's help him get some Cheatsabution.

''{The lower tab is pulled and pushed back several times, and as it does, "Strong Bad"'s foot rises and The Cheat moves upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boot 'em up, boot 'em up, boot 'em up, yoooooo. This is like kicking The Cheat light! All of the flavor, with only half the chance of rabies!

''{The upper tab is pulled, and a bear pokes down in the cave. The tree goes back to normal, and the page turns. Strong Bad's head, with flashing lights for eyes, is in the center. Two towers with ropes between them, and The Tire hanging from them, is in the upper-left, with a sliding tab below it. A "Cold One" is seen to the right of that, with a turn wheel above it. Near it is the BMW Lighter, with a pull tab to its right. A box is in the lower right. A cherub over a "FAT FRYER" is in the lower right, with a tab to its left. In the background, it reads "Slide! Spin! Grasp! Pull! His Head! Tap the flabs! Pull!!!" near each object.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the last page would be a veritable cornucop-pourri of pop-up mastery!

''{The various objects all move. The Tire simply falls off its wires. The Cold One has its label replaced over and over. The BMW opens up with a flame, and closes. The box flips over, revealing the same box tipped the other way. The cherub moves into and out of the fryer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be tabs and flaps, flabs and taps, a string thing that doesn't work, and some more sound chips and dips.

'''SPEAKER:''' Holy crap!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sounds like they improved on the technology since page 2! Aaaaaand, don't forget the crap-flap!

''{A flap turns down with a pile of whatsit underneath. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So now the pop-up book is primed and ready for the four year-old, or The Cheat, in your life to use as a tissue! That thing'll provide seconds of non-ripped apart fun! Speaking of seconds, I'm gonna go eat my burgers.

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

==Easter Eggs==
* Click ''Kat Spokane, Wash.'' after Strong Bad raps for The Cheat to reveal a book entitled ''"Cat," spoke Anne, "Wash!"''.
* Click on the pop-up Tandy 400 after Strong Bad says "The Lake Head" to see a comparison between Strong Sad's head and [[Wikipedia:Manicouagan_Reservoir|Manicouagan Reservoir]] in Quebec, a circular lake formed by a meteor impact in the late Triassic.
* At the end, click ''The Cheat'' to see a clip of The Cheat, Strong Sad and Bubs playing dominoes. Bubs is smoking a cigar.

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Ugh, The Cheat wins again. Pay up.

:'''BUBS:''' Well, she's all yours! ''{He hands The Cheat a car key. The Cheat squeals in happiness and does a dance.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*"Señor Muybueno" is Spanish for "Mister Very Good", which is rather the opposite of Strong "Bad", but it is obvious that Strong Bad is just praising himself, as on Page 1, there is the text "This is a good kid."

[[Image:cheattheme.PNG|thumb|220px|Who's the dude that moves to the beat?]]

'''The Cheat Theme Song'''
A music video by [[The Skate Party]] (and directed by The Cheat).

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]]

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

'''Date:''' February 25, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:20

'''Page Title:''' The Cheat Theme Song

== Lyrics ==
Who's always givin' Strong Bad a hand? 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

Who's always messin' up Homestar's plans? 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

Who's gonna start a rock & roll band? 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

Who's ''{[[Homestar Talker]] voice}'' Making. Out. With. Marzipan. 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

(The Cheat, The Cheat is in the house.) 

Who's the man that looks like The Cheat? ''{A Pikachu appears on screen}'' 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

Who's the one with the yellow feet? 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

Who's the dude that moves to the beat? 
The Cheat, The Cheat.

Who's the guy from 21 Jump Street? 
Not The Cheat, not The Cheat.

The Cheat. 
The Cheat.

''{Music ends, cut to Strong Bad, Homestar Runner, and The Cheat in front of Tangerine Dreams.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises; sounds like "How was that?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, I dunno, The Cheat, I don't think it was very good.. at all. I mean, the song was kinda catchy but the visuals were lacking, at best.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the best video game I've ever played.

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end, click on "The Skate Party" at the bottom left hand corner to access [http://www.geocities.com/theskateparty/ The Skate Party's website].

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
*[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0092312/ 21 Jump Street] was a TV-Series that ran from 1987 to 1992, and starred, (among others) [[Wikipedia:Johnny Depp|Johnny Depp]].
*"Making Out With Marzipan" was once part of the secret key phrase from the game [[Homestar Talker]].
*The Cheat, drawn as one single animated line, may be a reference to [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0406432/combined La Linea], an old Italian TV show with a slightly choleric person that was drawn in the same style.
*This song is also heard in the email "[[band names]]."
*The line "Who's gonna start a rock and roll band?" is accompanied by a "The Cheat" symbol that looks like the logo for the band [[Wikipedia:Van Halen|Van Halen]].
*The scene with the line "The Cheat is in the House" is remniscent of the Daft Punk music video "One More Time."
*The reference to Pikachu is most likely a reference to the fact that the Brothers Chaps edited The Original Cheat down to look more like a Pokémon (maybe Pikachu).
