== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end you can click on the first "Sunday" to bring up a flyer advertisement for the show. The Awexome Cross 98 theme song plays in the background.
<pre>SUNDAY
AWEXOME
CROSS
98
LIVE IN STRONGBADIA
Thrills! Chills! Syrup!
Also, too:
A live performance by
LIMOZEEN</pre>
*Click on the second "Sunday" to play [[Awexome Cross]].
[[Image:Limozeentruck.PNG|thumb|200px|Because it's something!]]
*Click on the "Someday" to see an autographed [[Limozeen]] picture. "Because It's Midnite" is sung in the background.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" is the classic style of advertising used for [[Wikipedia:Monster truck|monster truck rallies]].
===Trivia===
*This is one of the few times we get to see The Poopsmith's face from the front. The only other times are [[different town]] and [[Fall Float Parade]].

===Remarks===
*For some reason, in the picture of Limozeen, there are four extra hands floating around the band members. One infront of [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] and [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]], one behind Perry, one behind [[Gary Palaroncini|Gary]] and the last one behind Larry.
*In the "Awexome Cross" ad and the "someday" Easter egg, the bass player plays his first note a step too high, then corrects himself on the second beat.

===Inside References===
*"Toons! Games! I'm gonna check my eeeemail...." is a reference to all the [[Main Pages]].

===Real-World References===
*The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is the same as the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil [[Wikipedia:Evel Knievel|Evel Knievel]] during his famous motorcycle jumps.
*The bottles of maple syrup around the cardboard box are designed similarly to those of Mrs. Butterworth's, a famous syrup brand.
*The line "Let's do this like Brutus" comes from [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/de-la-soul/skit-1.html a skit] on the [[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] album [[Wikipedia:De La Soul Is Dead|"De La Soul Is Dead"]].
*The chicken bucket that says "KnF'nC" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]], who used the acronym "GnF'nR" during the [[Wikipedia:Use Your Illusion I|Use Your Illusion]] era. The 2000-2004 incarnation of the band contained guitarist [[Wikipedia:Buckethead|Buckethead]], who wears a [[Wikipedia:KFC|KFC]] bucket on his head like a hat.

===Fast Forward===
*The Limozeen song "[[Because It's Midnite]]" would eventually appear on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]].
*Also the King of Town would later hold the chicken bucket in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Awexome Cross '98 Easter egg is disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' We were just discussing, uh, how there are some Strong Bad Emails that really tip their hand with the name of them—

'''MIKE:''' The title, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, like this one.

'''MIKE:''' You kind of know what it's going to be about.

'''MATT:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Know what it's going to be about.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' This is—was this the first instan—nah, I guess he's always getting people's names wrong. That's a common theme.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if that's—I don't know if he's—this... Maybe it's the first time.

'''MATT:''' Who knows?

'''MIKE:''' Somebody, uh, let us know. One of you callers. One of our callers will probably let us know.

'''MATT:''' Mike, we don't have callers.

'''MIKE:''' We should, uh, have a radio show.

'''MATT:''' Mike, no.

'''MIKE:''' Like, this is a radio show.

'''MATT:''' It's not.

'''MIKE:''' ''{adopts gravelly voice}'' All right, all right.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Uhm...

'''MATT:''' So here we go. That's The Cheat in his Evel Knievel outfit, obviously, which our mom made us for—or made our ''oldest'' brother first for Halloween—

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' —and then I think it got passed down to all of us. I think in, like, 1987 I was wearing an Evel Knievel ''{Mike laughs}'' and I, like, didn't know that he wasn't very popular anymore. And he says "Let's do this like Brutus" there, not "Buddhists." A lot of people think he says that, but that's just a, uh...comment. It's in a De La Soul song or it's on the De La Soul album "De La Soul is Dead." Doesn't Flavor Flav say it at some point?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.

'''MATT:''' KnF'nC. That's a reference to GnF'nR, Drivin' N' Cryin'.

'''MIKE:''' That's—

'''MATT:''' That's—all four of those are our big brother Donnie, very seriously in the year 1987 dressed as Vince Neil for Halloween. There you have it. And then a bunch of extra limbs.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' And of course, there you go. Limozeen given...wings...wings of steel ''{Mike laughs}'' you know, with which to fly.

=== Fun Facts ===
*Drivin' N' Cryin' was a Southern rock band famous in the Georgia region that never really achieved national fame.
*[[Wikipedia:Vince Neil|Vince Neil]] was lead singer for the band [[Wikipedia:Mötley Crüe|Mötley Crüe]].
*"Wings of steel" combined with the lyric "wings of a bat" refer to the 1960s cartoon [[Wikipedia:Batfink|''Batfink'']], whose eponymous hero is a crime-fighting bat with steel wings.
