== After The Paper Easter egg? ==

Am I right in thinking that Strong Bad's "my hit points are inexcusable" line is an Easter Egg, since he says it after the paper comes down? (I posted something else of this nature on [[Talk:i rule|the i rule discussion page]].) --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Well, in other eggs where you wait after the paper you usually wait 10-15 seconds. But, in this you only wait like 4 seconds, so I'd say no.--[[User:ninja pirate|ninja pirate]] 16:03, 1 Nov 2004 (MST)

No, you're right. It ain't clickable, so it ain't an Egg. --[[User:Upsilon|that guy]]

== Tape-leg is worse?? ==

It says on the tape-leg page:

"Generally considered the worst Strong Bad Email"

But isn't this Email Worse?? I would say so... Atleast tape-leg has SOME jokes in it.

:On the forum, this is considered the worse e-mail ever. HOORAY! --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 13:17, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::But this one is cut some slack for being one of the first ones. Tape-Leg is infamous on both the fanbase and official site for being horrible. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
:::I think it's like [[Wikipedia:Plan 9 from Outer Space|Plan 9 from Outer Space]]. It's so bad it's great. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:17, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
:::: I can't say I disagree that this one is worse. But tape-leg is more infamous. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 14:29, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
::: The opinion of what emails are best/worst/not so bad varies so greatly that a knowledge base can't post the general opinion ''unless'' the authors decide... which they apparently did. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
:::: I say the basics is worse then all of 'em. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:33, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
I think the only reason the beginning ones sucked was because they were new at it. Think of it this way: if TBC went back and redid all the first/bad/maybe Tandy emails, they'd be twice as funny. {{User:Salty/sig}} 14:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

:Actually this email isn't an email- it's an advertisment, but a don't like this one. I think that it is worse. [[User:Sbdisciples|Sbdisciples]] 18:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

::Y'all got problems. I like tape-leg. I agree, though, that the basics is not even remotely funny. --{{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 05:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

== No Text ==
What is this fun fact saying? The email has "Homestar Hair" written at the top of it. Even if it was stated that Strong Bad didn't actually type anything in reply to the email, the fact would still be false - he didn't type a reply to sb_email 22 either. --{{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 05:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think this is false. The content of the email was "Homestar Hair" and an attachment. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
::No, it's true. It means there wasn't any text in the actual body of the email. Maybe it should be reworded. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 05:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
:::But there was text in the body of the email. It said "Homestar Hair". That's not the subject line, or anything like that... Strong Bad's email system didn't start showing subject lines 'till he got the Lappy. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
::::I always assumed that that's just his email client telling him the attachment's filename. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 05:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, it is. With TEXT. --{{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 17:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I reworded the fact to state what is actually notable: namely, that it's not a letter of some kind, and there's an attachment. (Also, before you say [[virus]], there was a "Strong ba" in that one.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
:All right, I can agree with that. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 04:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

== "Downloading"? ==

My internet was lagging up today while I viewed this e-mail, and I noted something interesting: instead of waiting for the entire email to load at the Loading screen, it played up until Strong Bad said "Homestar hair...", and paused at "downloading" while the Hairstyle Runner was "downloaded" to the Tandy. Could this be worth noting somewhere, since back when this e-mail was released, broadband access wasn't as widespread? Or is it just a flash glitch and not really worth mentioning?

Lack of Visible Arms

Kamek — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:20:37 GMT

Kamek: /* Oddities */ Homestar types in email thunder

[[Image:Homestar's Arms.PNG|thumb|"Homestarms"]]
One of the ultimate mysteries in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner body of work]] is that [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[The King of Town]], [[Homsar]], and many other characters all '''lack visible arms''' and hands. In spite of this, they have the ability to pick up, carry, and manipulate objects at will. The most common explanations for this phenomenon are that they either have invisible arms or can manipulate objects with some kind of [[Wikipedia:psychokinesis|psychokinesis]]. Some suggest the latter over the former, as these characters' articles of clothing rarely have sleeves where arms would normally be. Some claim the opposite, since there are few instances in which a character manipulates any object from afar. Others believe that there is a combination of both factors in use. Usually none of the other characters seem to pay any attention to this curiosity, possibly because they have become accustomed to it, although sometimes their lack of arms is referenced.

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finishing the song}'' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here that answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked about burglars breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. "Apply libewally!" Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go!
{pulls up this email, but doesen't read it}
<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>
Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does and he grabs it.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' B'oyah! ''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked about burglars breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with an "A" as in "ham", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera pans to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. "Apply libewally!" Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

:::If you listen to the mp3 at the end, you can tell that it is "weak". And "weak" is not a verb, its an adjective. You don't "weak" you "be weak" -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]
::::Wow, the battle of dumb-butts. Clearly "I don't know how to 'weak'" was his way of saying that he knows it's not a verb and hence doesn't think it fits in that context (which albeit an adjective also does). [[Special:Contributions/75.157.4.36|75.157.4.36]] 17:43, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::Thank you 75.157.4.36... I guess sarcasm doesn't work too well online... Anywho, listened to the mp3 and it could go either "Weep" or "Weak", so I guess it's up to you to decide. Maybe TMBG are the only ones who know for sure [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 18:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

When you actually send an email to "Homestar" (DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com), you get this e-mail back instantly.

Oh, hello everyone! For some unknown reason I'm getting this big cavalcanche of emails all of the sudden. They're filling up the basement and I'm running out of paper towels! Just sit tight and hremails will be back to normal before you know it. And thanks again to everyone who participated in Bacon Pretend Week! Ron Staple you are a GENIUS!

Okay bye,

I didn't know if or where this should be mentioned on the wiki, so there it is. --[[Special:Contributions/139.225.204.42|139.225.204.42]] 15:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== Hooyah? ==

Strong Bad's exclamation is spelled about ten different ways in the transcription. Perhaps we should pick one spelling and stick to it? I don't know which one to use, though. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 18:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:What exclamation do you mean? --[[User:DENNIS|DENNIS]] 20:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
::"Hooyah", of course. Or B'oyah. Or Whooyaha. Or however many other times it was spelled. I'm assuming it's the same phrase each time. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 22:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go! ''{reading}'' Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''! WTC? New paper, Print me out a hard copy. I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. '''{Thunder booms}''' B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em." Like that old classic when they asked about burglers breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, Poo. Poo, Poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the moose lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' yawn. Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from long pants, where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to his left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:'' hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on old timer. It's not so bad, you want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' No, I don't want to help you check your email! I want to help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder!

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">

</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a long "A", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera pans to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. "Apply libewally!" Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{The Paper sparks, and burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of all two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning. Since both his hands are moving while he trills G to A, it doesn't seem that he has a C# trill key.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>
*WTC stands for "What The [[Crap]]"

===Remarks===

*When this email was first released, the rolling thunder heard when Strong Bad mentions "email thunder" was absent.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelt "sibby".

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 5, 2005.
*In this email, the cheat plays either the [[Instruments|flute or the fife]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "draw Trogdor again."
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]]. Also, sbemail24 focuses on [[the bird]], which may be another possible reason it was banned.
*"Squeazeled" is a [[portmanteau]].
*[[The Paper]] returns to beat up [[New Paper]], making it the first appearance of the original since the email [[the paper]]
*Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally," imitating Homestar's accent. He [[Strong Bad Smiling|then smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down. Strangely, while the Happy sparked and fizzed when Mountain Dew was poured on it, the Compy did not have any problems.

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle", by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Ironically, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning. Since both his hands are moving while he trills G to A, it doesn't seem that he has a C# trill key.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>
*WTC stands for "What The [[Crap]]"

===Remarks===

*When this email was first released, the rolling thunder heard when Strong Bad mentions "email thunder" was absent.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelt "sibby".

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 5, 2005.
*In this email, the cheat plays either the [[Instruments|flute or the fife]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "draw Trogdor again."
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]]. Also, sbemail24 focuses on [[the bird]], which may be another possible reason it was banned.
*"Squeazeled" is a [[portmanteau]].
*[[The Paper]] returns to beat up [[New Paper]], making it the first appearance of the original since the email [[the paper]]
*Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally," imitating Homestar's accent. Strangely, while the Happy sparked and fizzed when Mountain Dew was poured on it, the Compy did not have any problems.
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad Smiling]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle", by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go! ''{reading}'' Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''! WTC? New paper, Print me out a hard copy. I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. '''{Thunder booms}''' B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em." Like that old classic when they asked about burglers breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, Poo. Poo, Poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the moose lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' yawn. Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from long pants, where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to his left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hang on!'' ''Shut face!'' Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:'' hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on old timer. It's not so bad, you want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' No, I don't want to help you check your email! I want to help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder!

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a long "A", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera pans to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as guitar music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. "Apply libewally!" Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{The Paper sparks, and burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. All two hundred of the Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to his left, wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' HANG ON! SHUT FACE! Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight?'' Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:'' hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{typing}'' djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on old timer. It's not so bad, you want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' No, I don't want to help you check your email! I want to help myself ''ruin'' your email! Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a couple of seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... DING! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer! A protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

''{Strong Bad runs past in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning. Since both his hands are moving while he trills G to A, it doesn't seem that he has a C# trill key.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool.

*WTC stands for "What The [[Crap]]"

===Remarks===

*When this email was first released, the rolling thunder heard when Strong Bad mentions "email thunder" was absent.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelt "sibby".

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 5, 2005.
*In this email, the cheat plays either the [[Instruments|flute or the fife]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].

*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "draw Trogdor again."
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]]. Also, sbemail24 focuses on [[the bird]], which may be another possible reason it was banned.
*"Squeazeled" is a [[portmanteau]].
*[[The Paper]] returns to beat up [[New Paper]], making it the first appearance of the original since the email [[the paper]]
*Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally," imitating Homestar's accent. Strangely, while the Happy sparked and fizzed when Mountain Dew was poured on it, the Compy did not have any problems.
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad Smiling]].

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' PUKE! Please be seated. How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. (typing) Okay, Here we go! (reading) Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''! WTC? New paper, Print me out a hard copy. I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. '''(Thunder booms)''' B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (typing) A protected landmark with suprisingly clean restrooms.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em." Like that old classic when they asked about burglers breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. Poo, Poo. Poo, Poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the moose lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' yawn. Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills?

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Computer Room}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement, Strong Bad is sitting on the couch, Coach Z is standing, wearing the fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue Pot ''(Pronounced 'Port')''!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' HANG ON! SHUT FACE! Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight?'' Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:'' hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

(exits room and reappears with three ice cream sandwiches) And help myself to your ice cream sammies. whooyaa. (Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair)

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' PUKE! Please be seated. How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. (typing) Okay, Here we go! (reading) Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''! WTC? New paper, Print me out a hard copy. I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. '''(Thunder booms)''' B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (typing) A protected landmark with suprisingly clean restrooms.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em." Like that old classic when they asked about burglers breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. Poo, Poo. Poo, Poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the moose lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' yawn. Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills?

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Computer Room}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement, Strong Bad is sitting on the couch, Coach Z is standing, wearing the fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue Pot ''(Pronounced 'Port')''!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' HANG ON! SHUT FACE! Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight?'' Haven't they seen hremail #49?

'''STRONG BAD:'' hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on old timer. It's not so bad, you want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No I don't want to help you check your email. I want to help myself ruin your email. Whooyaa! (exits room and reappears with three ice cream sandwiches) And help myself to your ice cream sammies. whooyaa. (Strong Bad runs off, dropping one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair)

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder!

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">

I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can

*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].

===Remarks===

*When this email was first released, the rolling thunder heard when Strong Bad mentions "email thunder" was absent.

I was first introduced to [[Homestar Runner]] through [[Strong Bad Email]] #45, [[techno]], which was relevant to my current obsession with Dance Dance Revolution.

I've placed several references to Homestar Runner within my maps and mods for Postal 2. [[Coach Z]] and [[Strong Bad]] are playable characters in my mod, and some of my maps contain [[Trogdor]] and [[StrongBadZone]] arcade machines.

==Transcript==

''{Open to a shiny red background. A King of Town emblem appears on the screen. As the singers sing, the words "Very Own Popular Cartoon" appear below the KOT head. The KOT head moves to the music a little.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show!

''{The words "The King of Town's" appear above the KOT emblem.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show!

''{The word "Quite" is written between "Own" and "Popular", and "Show!!" is inserted after "Cartoon". The music stops.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Let the King have some!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quick voiceover as the screen darkens}'' The King of Town's Very Own Popular Cartoon Show will not be seen this week. Instead we bring you: Strong Bad's Very Popular Cartoon Show, already in progress.

''{Cut to the Lappy with the email already displayed. We join the scene as Strong Bad says "rong Bad..."}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just got...

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey... Bunmuffin... It's Deli...lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh...

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot's stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the ever-loving style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress and her hair is now curled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our ''chaperon!'' ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breaths is ''terbirle''!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands, David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. He is apparently the only one at the prom wearing pants. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me! I'm the only one that wears any pants?!

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom! ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part, was that I got a twenty-dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

*Click on "Coppafeel" at the end to see a conversation with Homestar Runner and Pom Pom.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. My pants got so poofed away at the prom this year. ''{Pom Pom looks annoyed}'' So I was wearing all these types of long pants, and they just got poofed away. So embarrassing.
:'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well maybe I ''will'' keep telling myself that!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced), chiefly in the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]]. Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show|thumb|right]]
*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon" and the HTML file "sbemail151.html" does not exist.
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
**Later in the week, the button was changed to "Strong Bad Email"
*The label on the disk in the Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]] six years ago.
*The Strong Sadstronaut was previously seen in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
* "The King of Town's Popular Cartoon Show" is another case of the King of Town trying to appear cool and popular.
*The band perfroming is titled "''All'' the King's Men". However, [[The Little Chef Guy]] and [[The Bishop]], who first appear with the rest of the king's men in [[The King of Town DVD]], are notably absent from the band.
* In this email, Strong Bad's imaginary girlfriend's name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following Quote of the Week, it was spelled "Delelilia".

===Goofs===
*As Homestar dances, his left foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.
*When the e-mail first came out, right before Marzipan says "That is unmistakably Coach Z", her eyes showed up where her mouth should have been.

===Glitches===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*In this email, Coach Z makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine. Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*Strong Bad previously fabricated a story about a girl leaving him to go to another planet in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes some references to [[Robots|robots]].
*This email features references to [[Homestar's Pants]], [[long pants]] and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*Strong Bad uses a [[Single-button remote control|single-button remote control]].
*"Masterdly" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] combining "masterful" and "dastardly".
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.
*Strong Bad claimed he crashed his fair share of Shortcoming [[Prance]]s.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Dance from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]] of the actual phrase from the song, "GOO GOO GOO JOOB". 
*"Summat" is regional English slang for "something."
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Exploration Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*[[All the King's Men!]] is a reference to the nursery rhyme [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]].
* Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is an example of stereotypical "mobster speech", which was popularized by [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]].

Kamek: Lappy's screen goof

== Nibbles ==

I won't edit the transcript as it's being written, but I hear Nibbles say "I make good ear-plugs too", not "I need some ear-plugs too."
:That sounds more logical to me too.
:Fixed it. I've also done writing the transcript, so feel free to correct what's probably lots of mistakes. {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 02:10, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:It sounds like "I think earplugs are cute" to me. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 15:30, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
It's definintely "I make good earplugs too". --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:34, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Let me guess ==

"Ugh. Let me guess. It's true! You saw it on the news! Hey, it was crazy, but it was worth a shot!"

There is an or in there, so it SHOULD be:

Ugh. Let me guess. "It's true! You saw it on the news!" or "Hey, it was crazy, but it was worth a shot!"

Because I am certain I hear an "or" in there. --[[User:ColorPrinter|ColorPrinter]] 02:12, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I hear it too. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]

Me too --[[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 14:59, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Tree-hugging - Homsar vs. army ==

I really, really think the tree-hugging isn't a reference to [[army]] as much as it is [[Homsar]] and his tree-hugging anctics mentioned in [[Strong Sad's Lament]] (which, of course, is assuming it's a reference to anything whatsoever and not just randomness). I mean, really. In army it was just a random insult being tossed around; with Homsar it had much focus, even if it DIDN'T have SB or HSR involved in it. I seriously wonder how we got army before the blog ref when the former seems so minor in comparison... Thoughts on the matter? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 03:59, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:Except Strong Sad's lament involved Strong Sad and Homsar, whereas army involved Strong ''Bad'' and Homestar. It really boils down to that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:08, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::It's still a major stretch as it is. Methinks it should be STUFF'd. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 04:25, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::: I concur. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:28, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::::For all we know, Homestar might have wanted to have proof Strong Bad was a hippie. -- [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== Garfield vs. Nermal / Marshie vs. Nibbles ==

I know this might be a stretch, so I thought I'd post here first. Does anyone else see the resemblance in Marshie and Nibbles' relationship to the perpetual battle of age vs. youth between Garfield and Nermal?
It was the first thing that stood out to me with those two. -- [[User: TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 1:29 12 July 2005 (CST)

No, I think it's a reference to how old characters are replaced by "newer, cooler" characters. -Kinsey

== Easter Eggs ==

This is the first time Strong Bad has acknowledged that there are easter eggs...should this be counted for something? -- [[User:Cocoa|Cocoa]] 12:27 12 July 2005 Pacific Daylight, I think?

:Nope, he acknowledged them in [[the process]]. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 07:43, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::An interesting fact might be that this is the first email since ??? that had no eggs anywhere.

Well, you had to wait about 10 seconds or so to hear him say that there aren't any Easter Eggs. Isn't that sort of an Easter Egg itself?

:Sort of, but our pattern on other pages when this happens is that it's ''not'' an egg. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:16, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Also, Strong Bad actually said "no easter eggs" so it'd be a paradox if that was considered one.

==Not Pigeons==
"Not...pigeons" seems like a reference to [[different town]], when Strong bad tries to think of the best thing ever and ends up with "beef stew". Anyone else think so?

*No, it's just Strong Bad not being able to think of anything. It's not really a "reference" to anything. Strong bad is an (scatterbrained), and does this kind of thing often, as any HR fan knows. ;) --[[User:Homestar Runnar|Hometar Runnar]] (There, happy? I changed "idiot" to "scatterbrained.")

He's not an idiot. -Kinsey

Yeah, he's not an idiot!! And the Bad in his name is capitalized!! -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Princess of StrongBadia]]

I think he really might be afraid of pigeons, and that he's ashamed of being afraid of them (similar to "Definitly NOT a speedo"-on other days). Strong Bad is a very quirky person with interests that nobody would expect (baking, watching soaps) In TGS there are several things that involve birds (birds hurting or killing characters, or simply getting shot out of the sky by a random helicopter).
[[User:Kefti islander|Kefti islander]]

==Tree Hugging or Butt Dance==
The picture keeps changing back and forth. Let's pick one and go with it. I don't have much of a preference, so I'll get out my trusty coin here... Heads, tree hugging; tails, butt dance (get it, tails?). And... it's tails. I vote '''butt dance.''' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:08, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Go with the butt dance. It's the pinnacle of the whole email. Delete the tree huggin' if it isn't going to be used. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:26, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Butt dance butt dance! {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:35, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::I got with the butt dance too, just cause it's so random! (and it made SB puke)

== Chocozuma's Revenge and Technochocolate land? ==

What's with Strong Bad always combining aztec history and chocolate? Could this be counted as a reference?

I thought "technochocolate" meant techno- as in technology, not Tenochtitlan.

*Nope, he mentions the Aztecs right before. -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 12:07 12 July 2005 (CST)

::The monument. Gotcha. I was thinking of Club Technochocolate.

== Running Time ==

Let's get one thing established: Things that happen after The Paper comes down that are not Easter eggs count towards the email's running time, right? If so, I timed the email at approximately 4:57, ending it at Strong Bad's line, "No. There's no Easter eggs. I'm not up to it. Go away." -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:08, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

You timed it the way I've always done it. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:And that's incuding the long pause after The Paper comes down? -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 17:18, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Horrible Painting ==

Just curious if any of you think the Horrible Painting deserves being considered a member of the ever-increasing cast of characters.

:I'd say so. It does talk... [[User:SA2Tails|SA2Tails]] 17:44, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I concur. I wrote the original description, and I'd hate to see my hard work go to waste, yeah?

== Feed the Childrens ==

Does anyone else hear "doo doot doo" instead of just "doot doo" in the song Feed the Childrens? [[User:SA2Tails|SA2Tails]] 17:44, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:I do. Not to mention the unmentioned 'hey-heys'. (I've actually taken to humming this song under my breath around the house.

Does the part where they all start clapping hands and singing count as a "Hey Jude" reference? ~AC

:No, although it references songs like this in general. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

I '''definitely''' hear "doo doot doo" in the song. I've listened to it closely over and over, and it's subtle, but there's another syllable in there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:15, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I listened very closely. There are only two syllables at the "doot doo" portion of the Limozeen song. Why do people keep adding a third? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:25, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Then you must not be listening closely enough. Several others here on the wiki think it's "doo doot doo". I just took a poll of my coworkers, and they all hear that, too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I changed it back because (at least to my ears) there are three syllables! I distinctly hear "do doot do". -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:33, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I turned it up very high and I still hear exactly two. The drums hit in the middle of the "doot" IIRC; maybe that's what you're hearing? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:35, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I hear "Doot Doo." Unless it is a ''very'' quick "Doo-Doot," in which case a hyphen would be necessary. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 18:39, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::I've turned it up loud, and listened to it numerous (10+) times. It's do-doot-do everytime. I've seen at least one other comment that agrees with me. That doesn't make me right, it's just makes me not pigeon ... er crazy! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 18:41, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: It would have to be MUCH faster than the "La La"... which was fast enough that I formerly made it one "word"! I'm loading it to check AGAIN... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:46, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::When there's no background music, when it's just the claps, you can clearly tell that it's not a drum beat, and it's ''distinctly'' "doo-doot doo". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:48, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::: NO. I TURNED IT UP ALL THE WAY. I LEANED MY EAR IN TOWARD THE COMPUTER. I LISTENED ALL THREE TIMES. I HEAR EXACTLY TWO SYLLABLES EACH. Where do you think the break between them is coming? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:49, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::: I don't know what to tell you. I've played it for five people here where I am, and we all agree it's three syllables. Each time I asked a new person, I had them describe what they heard without first telling them what I think they should be hearing. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:54, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::: OH! I THINK I GET IT! I think you're getting confused on the vibrato in Gary's voice. There ''are'' two syllables, though. Ironically, the vibrato is LEAST noticeable in the "just claps" repetition, where you said it was most "obvious", so this theory isn't perfect. But that's as close as I am coming to hearing a third syllable—and it's still not a third syllable. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:56, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::: And, currently there is no such "consensus". The people you talk to IRL are hearsay, and here, it's two logged users and an Annony (who seems to think there are more than two "heys") against two logged users. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:58, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC) [EDIT: Okay, sorry, three logged users. I thought the original post here was yours. That still doesn't make it a "consensus."]

::::::: Are you saying I'm making them up? Because that's what I hear you saying. What possible reason would I have for doing that? To win a stupid argument? Sorry, but this isn't that important. Know this about me: I never lie. This is a question of fact, and therefore only one of us is right. I'm convinced it's me; you're convinced it's you. That's fine, because sensible people sometimes disagree, but I don't appreciate having my trustworthiness questioned, or at least having it seem like it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:12, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::::: Words in my mouth much? I am simply saying that I know nothing of your IRL friends. I am speaking to you: where do you think the three syllables are? How long? I hear the "Doot" in a beat and a half, and "doo" immediately following on the half-beat. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:16, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::::: I believe now that you weren't trying to insult me. Please note that I was careful to phrase my comments using words like "because that's what I hear you saying" and "at least having it seem like it." I can't hear your inflection. I can't read your mind. All I can do is tell you how you're coming across. Not that we can't still be friends. ;) To speak to your question: This is what I hear: — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

::::::::: [[image:do-doot-doo.png|none]]

:::::::::Yeah, I figured that's where the extra "doo" was coming from, but that just ties in perfectly to my "you're just confused on Gary's vibrato" theory. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:56, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::::::I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. Agreed? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

::::::::::: For now (BTW, I'm hearing the "do-doot" as a single syllable, in case there was any confusion. Other than that, the beat remains identical.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:04, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::I only heard two sylables in the Doot do's, but i could easily see how someone could here 3. {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

::::::Hey there, I'm an 'Anonny' as you strange people on this Wiki call us. And I hear three. Though both interpretations are valid. --[[User:195.92.67.76|195.92.67.76]] 19:23, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::::"Anonny" is a reference to [[rock opera]]. It's a whole lot easier than saying "User without a user name" or "User known only by an IP address". I didn't mean it as an insult, but some "Anonny" users (not all or even most!) have been known to be trolls, which happens less often with users with user names. Maybe it is a bit bigoted, but most Wiki users tend to take IP-only users' comments with grains of salt. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:32, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

As a compromise, I am going to insert a footnote, at least as a temporary measure. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

I can live with that {{User:Rogue Leader.sig}}

:As can I. It's been done before, such as on [[for kids]]. And yes, I'm the same 'annony' as before (the one who mentioned the hey-heys and has taken to humming Feed the Childrens). I just really like being known as 69.139.163.12 (yes, I'm odd), and don't really want to make an account because of that.

::Heh. I totally hear three syllables.... but I'm not sure I feel as passionate about this as you people do. ;) This song really reminds me of something from Aqua Teen Hunger Force... "It's fo' da shortiez! It's fo' da shortiez!" {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:40, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::I can live with it, but I still say it's 2 syllables. -- [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== just a remark ==

the brownie pictured in Chocozuma's Revenge is still in its wrapper. I feel like that should be mentioned somewhere
:The Remarks section is the place for that. Nice find. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:31, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Not TTATOT ==
There are several facts that apply to a group of real-world examples, not just a single thing. But that doesn't make them any less of a reference. It's true that we shouldn't list every example we can think of, but a representative sample is appropriate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:06, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: But we've already seen the problem of doing that—new users add their favorite examples no matter what. It's happened in the past, it's happened for this very email. Also, if it's not a specific reference to a specific thing, it's more frequently put in Explanations if it's kept. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:11, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Name that Reference ==

Anyone know if the spooky painting is referancing anything? I know I've seen something like it somewheres...

:Perhaps you're thinking of the [http://www.strangenation.com.au/articles/canvaskids.htm haunted Ebay painting]. Probably not a true Remark or Real-World reference, but intruiging. Boo! [[User:Sgleason|S Gleason]] 05:55, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Name that tune? ==

Once again, the tune from Strong Bad's intro song sounds very familiar. Where is it from?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:38, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== List? ==

I was just wondering... Do you think that we should make an article about the bottom ten list? Just a thought

:Nah. This ''is'' the article on the bottom 10 list. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:24, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Easter egg ==

There's an easter egg at the very end of this, but it's not mentioned in this wiki's article. You have to wait a while longer than normal to see it.

:You mean when Strong Bad says, "No. There's no Easter eggs. I'm not up to it. Go away."? That's in the transcript. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:47, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== SB Email: Jumped the Shark? ==

I think this one pretty much did it, what with the butt dance and the vomiting. Not that I have anything against crude humor: some people make it work quite well.. But Homestar Runner has always held a special place for me because even though it was aimed at older audiences, it was always so innocent. Bathroom humor is just out of place on Homestar.
[[User:67.1.38.32|67.1.38.32]]

:Yes, bathroom humor is just out of place on Homestar Runner. That's why one of the main characters (who has been around since the first Flash toon) is a Poopsmith. And the butt dance is from Homestar's character video that's been on the site for a long time. But anyway, this discussion is better served on the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum]. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 05:19, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I was a little put-off by the vomit joke as well. I had considered HSR a "safe-haven" against that kind of stuff. Up until about a year ago, HSR was a site that I felt comfortable letting my 6 year old view. Since then, I've noticed an ever-so-subtle trend toward South Park. We may only be in Alabama now, but I hope they stop before reaching Colorado. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:23, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::Are you seriously comparing ''South Park'' to HSR? I am a huge fan of both and I can say with some expertise that neither are anywhere near being alike (except, I suppose, that both are [quite good] comedies). And what's this about a little barf as being 'not safe' or 'not appropriate'? For one, you don't even see it. And secondly, I'd like to know how barf is in ''any way'' more mature humour. [[User:señor|»ßenit, known as señor«]] 20:05, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::Good points, Señor, and, like Homestar Coder said, they belong on the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:10, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Woman or High Talking Guy? ==

Obviously the chocolate lover is voiced by a falsetto Matt, but I wonder, is the character intended to be a woman, or a high-talking guy who Strong Bad intentionally calls "lady" intending it as an insult? Or am I overthinking this?

-- You're overthinking this.

-I thought it sounded like Reynold.

== Number 8 ==

When Strong Bad says 'number 8', did anyone else notice that his pronunciation is the same as Yoko Ono's in the episode of The Simpsons where Homer et al form the Be Sharps, and Yoko records a song by saying 'number 8' repeatedly over a loop of Barney belching?

:That's a far, far, far, far strech. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:25, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Ahhhh-Ooooh-Gah ... Ahhhh-Ooooh-Gah ... Aunt Gert alert! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:35, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I don't think it's that far a stretch, it was the first thing I thought when I heard him say it and I expected someone else to have already referenced it on here. I've heard plenty of people pronounce it IRL that way as a reference to it, so maybe Strong Bad does too. Ah well, just a thought.

::That's still a very far stretch. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 15:48, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::It's not a huge stretch. The 'number 8' is a pretty memorable part of pop culture history, so it's not a stretch to think that TBC are referencing it. To be honest, I didn't notice it myself, though.

==They forgot to lemme type this==

I don't think SB sez "They forgot this" twice. Any one else hear "Lemme type this" the first time? (see below) I don't wanna get into an editing battle, especially if I'm wrong! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:45, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, this person made all kinds of typos. '''Lemme type this''', ''{changes "Weak Bad" to "Strong Bad"}'', they forgot this, ''{adds "the Good Dancer" after "Strong Bad"}'', they got this wrong ''{changes "Someone stronger than you" to "Someone that is ''a girl''" (with the phrase "a girl" italicized and in a pinkish color)}.'' Ah, there we go!</blockquote>

I isolated it and turned it way up, and it is for sure '''not "they forgot this" twice'''. I think you're <s>absolutely</s> right. It sounds like "Lemme type this" the first time. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Varying Opinions ==

In this email, SB says he hates "songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics." Yet in [[secret recipes]], his opening email song consists of mostly nana's. What gives? -[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 15:31, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[[Image:kamek.png|right|thumb|120px|Welcome to me -- Kamek!]]

I am Kamek. I have a wide variety of interests, mostly centering around video games. I currently make mods and maps for the Unreal Engine game [http://www.gopostal.com Postal 2]. I also created various miscellaneous Visual Basic programs such as Chibot Ultra Battle, KMazer for The Sims Online (now obsolete since maze was canned by Maxis), and various helper applications for the [http://www.whitemask.com White Mask] game [http://www.whitemask.com/NetMonster NetMonster].

I was first introduced to [[Homestar Runner]] through [[Strong Bad Email]] #45, [[techno]], which was relevant to my current obsession with Dance Dance Revolution.

I've placed several references to Homestar Runner within my maps and mods for Postal 2. [[Coach Z]] and [[Strong Bad]] are playable characters in my mod, and some of my maps contain [[Trogdor]] and [[StrongBadZone]] arcade machines.

== Homestar Runner stuff I made for Postal 2 ==

[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/postal2/images/cz1.jpg Coach Z]
Here's a screenshot of Coach Z. The easiest way for me to implement a custom character into Postal 2 was to simply re-skin the existing human characters, due to Postal 2's complicated hitbox programming. As a result, Coach Z doesn't have his "clown feet", but I think I did a pretty good job on his bling bling.

[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/postal2/images/Strongbad.jpg Strong Bad and Trogdor Game]
For Strong Bad, I took Gary Coleman's skeleton and put a Strong Bad-ish skin on it. I didn't have very many options here, so his in-game representation is totally bastardized... he doesn't even have any boxing gloves! Hopefully, I can at least get somebody to do me some boxing gloves in 3dsmax or maya or something so I can put them in the game. I think I did a pretty good job on the head, though.

The [[TROGDOR!|Trogdor machine]] is really cool, because you can kick it to make it say Trogdor, just like the actual machine.

[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/postal2/images/trogdor.jpg Another view of the Trogdor Game.] This one was updated to include the texts "Stomp peasants to achieve burnination" and "Watch out for knights and archers".

[http://bastard.popexperiment.com/kamek/postal2/images/sbzone.jpg The StrongBadZone cabinet.] The text on the overlay reads "Try to hit Strong Bad's big head" and "Use joystick to move and shield". If you approach the machine during play, it advises you to "Back off, baby!"

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Coach Z]], [[Mrs. Bennedetto]], [[The Announcer]], [[Homestar Runner]] as [[The Jolly Dumple]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Football Field]], [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' May 19, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:00

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! A little email never hurt nobody. 'Cept for maybe the Cheat. So what do we got here...

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

I was wondering what CGNU's mascot
is, and if they have any sports teams.
Thanks for the info.

Ike</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, we got a mascot, Ike. Unfortunately, The Cheat, Strong Mad, and I were ''really'' hungry when we decided on a name. So, uh, all we came up with was the Crazy Go Nuts University Dumples. I think maybe we meant dumplings? But we were really hungry and tired and sorta confused and ended up putting Dumples on the application. We do have a sports team, though. The Golf Club Team. We have a game every day at 6pm!

''{cut to a shot of the scoreboard on the football field, reading '''Home: Crazy Go Nuts University, 0; Visitor: Pile of Electronics State, 0.''' Cut to The Cheat holding a golf club in a ring facing a pile of old electronics, with Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and Coach Z cheering him on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's go, Dumples!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DE-FENSE!

'''COACH Z:''' Get yer head in the game, The Chort! The Cheat is wide open!

''{The Cheat starts bashing all the electronics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah!

'''COACH Z:''' Atta boy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Go for the 8-track!

''{The scoreboard gives CGNU one point with a buzzing noise}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Dumples win!

''{everyone cheers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look everybody! It's The Jolly Dumple come to celebrate our victory!

''{Cut to Homestar in the Dumple costume. It looks like a ravioli with a pirate hat, a mouth, a big tongue, and two huge hands giving thumbs-ups. The alma mater starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' 
Fighting and sometimes striving 
Wondering what the Dumple is 
Excellence and what is valor? 
And The Cheat will hit stuff with a golf club ''{The Cheat shows up holding cue cards that read "see", "gee", "in", and then "you", as Strong Bad chants:}'' 
SEE GEE IN! ... YOU!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Me?

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, we're still undefeated. But next week's going to be a tough game against Homestar's Knees Tech. Well, I gots to go. I promised the team I'd get them real fruit smoothies if they won the game. And they won the game. So I'm getting them real fruit smoothies.

''{He types in 'run "fightsong"' and walks off. Compy starts playing the song, showing the letter name of each note. Once it's done, it says "GO DUMPLES!!!" and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*You can click on "really hungry and tired" to see a "LEM" ([[Lem Sportsinterviews]]) styled cartoon of, well, them being really hungry and tired.
*You can also click on "application" to see their mascot application:
<pre>College Mascot Application

College Name: crazy go nuts university

Mascot Name: DUMPLES!!!

Dean of Students: myself

Essay on why you think this is a good mascot:
i want some food.

Drawing of Mascot:
you know, a dumple. like for dinner
(There is a picture of a fork with a "dumple" on it)</pre>
*At the very end after the fightsong plays, you can mouse-over the notes to play them!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The Pile of Electronics State team has a TV, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] (aka Marzipan's microwave), a Panasonic RQ-8003 8-Track player (also referred to as "The Plunger" or "TNT" style), and a Nintendo Entertainment System.

===Remarks===
*"run 'fightsong'" is the syntax for executing a program on the [[Tandy 400]].
*Although The Cheat never hits the NES, it still breaks as though it were hit. The way he broke the glass on Mrs. Bennedetto wouldn't crush an NES.
*This is the first time [[Coach Z]] says [[The Cheat]] instead of The Chort.
*The notes for the fight song are
 
:C A F G F D A# G G G F E F G C A F G F D A# G G G F E F
 
:Proper musical notation dictates that "A#" (A-sharp) should be written as "Bb" (B-flat) since the song is in the [[Wikipedia:Major_scale|key]] of F Major, which has one flat and no sharps.
**However, certain older computers and languages (such as BASIC) could only parse such notes if they were entered as the corresponding sharp.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad says, "A little e-mail never hurt anyone, except for maybe The Cheat," he may be referring to [[little animal]] or [[huttah!]].

Everybody wanna scam some sweet bucks or potential pizza.

Mike and Matt Chapman give a 110% true, behind the scenes look on how Matt does the character voices. Seriously!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]

== Transcript ==
''{A title screen reading simply "Sample of Style" appears. Cut to Mike standing in a doorway}''

'''MIKE:''' Hi! ''{catches a football tossed at him}'' I'm Mike Chapman from homestarrunner.com! People are all the time asking me "Mike, how do you do those stupid voices for your dumb animal characters?" and I say "I'm Mike! Matt does the voices!" Let's go!

''{cut to outside a closed wooden door. Mike looks at the camera and nods knowingly, then knocks on the door}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt! It's Mike!

''{We can hear some noise from inside. Mike opens the door and we hear Matt saying some weird sound effects into a microphone. Nearby are some keyboards and computer equipment.}''

'''MIKE:''' Cut!

''{Matt now notices Mike, and stands up.}''

'''MATT:''' Hey!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, I was just telling the guys how you do the voices for homestarrunner.com

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah! The website!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

''{Mike tosses the football to Matt, who catches it. The camera starts to follow Matt as he walks to the right}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah! Uh, well, you know, it's kind of an industry secret, so we keep them here under lock and key. Uh, let me just- do you have the key, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{Mike gives Matt a key, and Matt "unlocks" a cabinet door (or rather, makes a sound effect implying it's been unlocked). The camera angle shifts so that it's behind Mike and Matt. We can see wire boxes full of material, an old Compy 386-style computer on top of the cabinet, and a huge cork board with hair metal band photos on it. Matt produces a briefcase from inside the cabinet and sets it on top}''

'''MATT:''' So here it is.

''{The camera cuts closer to the briefcase. Matt opens it to reveal cardboard tubes with the names of the characters written on them. Matt takes one out labeled "Homestar Runner"}''

'''MATT:''' Hey, Mike. ''{starts talking into it, the Homestar voice comes out}'' Oh hello, Mike! Check me out!

'''MIKE:''' Easy there, Homestar!

'''MATT:''' Hahaha, ''{suddenly shifts tone to dead seriousness}'' stop the camera.

''{The camera cuts now to Mike, then pans back to Matt}''

'''MIKE:''' So if that's how you do Homestar Runner, how about the King of Town?

'''MATT:'''Good question, Mike. ''{takes out the cardboard tube labeled The King of Town}'' The King of Town is a little more difficult. I have to employ a little of ''this'' strategy... ''{Matt puts the tube up to his mouth and one hand on the other end of the tube to act as a mute. The King of Town voice comes out}'' Dooooo hoo hoooo! I'm so hungry! I want a lot of food items!

'''MIKE:''' ''{just off-camera}'' Wow, that's impressive. ''{camera puts him back in frame}'' The King likes food, doesn't he?

''{Matt laughs a little. Cut to Matt sitting at his computer workstation. Coach Z and Strong Mad are on the screen. Matt hits a button the keyboard, puts a Coach Z cardboard tube up to his mouth, and turns to the microphone}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Coach Z voice}'' Hey Strong Mad, you're doin' a great joraerb there! ''{quick switches the tube out for a Strong Mad tube, producing the Strong Mad voice}'' I DON'T HAVE A JOB! ''{switch}'' I say ya done a groot joob! ''{switch}'' YOU'RE A GROOT JOOB! ''{switch}'' Bjorn Borg! ''{switch}'' RAAAAH! ''{switch}'' Where's th- ''{switch}'' RAAAH! ''{switch}'' fjords? ''{switch}'' RAAAAHHH!

''{Cut to Mike, who is standing by the briefcase}''

'''MIKE:''' That's great for you, Matt, ''{takes a cardboard tube labeled "Strong Bad"}'' but what happens if '''''I''''' use one of these things? ''{puts the tube up to his mouth, and the Powered By The Cheat version of Strong Bad comes out}'' I think this is sounding pretty good.

''{Mike puts the tube down, and grabs the King of Town cardboard tube to put up to his mouth}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Powered by the Cheat KoT}'' I'm the King of Town!

''{Mike grabs the Strong Mad and Homsar tubes, puts them end to end, and produces an awful racket before pulling them away from his lips}''

'''MIKE:''' What happened?

''{Cut to Mike leaning on a stacked-up amp}''

'''MATT:''' ''{offscreen}'' I was really, really unhappy with what you did. I-I thought it was terrible.

'''MIKE:''' I didn't do it.

''{Cut to Mike sitting on the cabinet}''

'''MIKE:''' Now this one REALLY creeps me out!

''{Pan to Matt at the computer workstation, wearing Missy's glasses and hairband, and speaking into a Marzipan tube}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Marizpan voice}'' And then I went to the STORE, and then I punched somebody in the face, and then I picked a flower, and then... I did something else and then I blew my nose.

''{Cut back to Mike leaning on the amps. He now has a white phone in his shirt's breast pocket. Mike makes a fake ringing noise, and "answers" the phone}''

'''MIKE:''' Hello?

''{The phone REALLY starts ringing. Matt and Mike start laughing. The frame "jumps"}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, some trucker wants to know how you do the voices for those terrible old-timey cartoons you're always making.

''{The camera pans to Matt}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, that's a great question, Mike. What we had to do with THAT was jury-rig a little sample of style. ''{grabs a styrofoam cup with "Old Timey Filter" written on it.}'' Take a simple voice like, say, Strong Bad ''{takes the Strong Bad tube from the briefcase}'' and add the Old Timey Filter onto it. ''{Matt holds the cup to the end of the tube}'' Let's see what we get. ''{Matt starts speaking into the tube, producing Sir Strong Bad}'' I'll give you old-timey, you mountebank!

'''MIKE:''' Excuse me?

''{Matt starts laughing evilly}''

'''MIKE:''' Fresh!

''{Matt keeps laughing, until finally Mike tackles him}''

'''MATT:''' Oh I'm sorry Mike!

''{Cut to Mike looking around confusedly. We can hear The Cheat noises being made}''

'''MIKE:''' Where is that coming from?

''{More The Cheat noises. Mike looks over to the side, and the camera focuses on what he looked at; a Kick the Cheat doll.}''

'''MIKE:''' What?

''{The Cheat noises}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{poking the doll}'' Are you talking, little guy?

''{More The Cheat noises. Mike looks behind him}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Matt!

''{Camera pans to Matt, holding up a short cardboard tube with The Cheat written on it, and making more The Cheat noises. Cut to Matt holding up what appears to be two cardboard tubes end to end.}''

'''MATT:''' OK, ready!

''{The camera zooms out, and we can see that Mike is helping hold up more, so it looks like all of the tubes have been combined into one big mega tube. Matt speaks into the tube}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Stinkoman voice}'' '''''DOUBLE DEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE''''' gah!

''{Matt catches his breath. Cut to Matt and Mike standing near the briefcase again.}''

'''MIKE:''' I want to do another one, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Nah, that's all the time we've got for today, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' No, seriously!

''{Matt and Mike start scuffling over one of the tubes, resulting in the tube becoming mangled. We can see that it was labeled "Bubs"}''

'''MATT:''' Great. Now we have to kill off Bubs. Just like Homeschool Winner.

''{Matt throws the mangled tube at Mike angrily, hitting him}''

'''MATT:''' I'm outta here.

''{Matt walks off in a huff. Mike picks up the mangled tube and talks into it}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Powered by The Cheat Bubs}'' My name's Bubs! This is my regulah voice! ''{stops talking into it and shrugs}'' Sounds good to me.

''{The screen fades to a cartoon tombstone, reading as follows:}''

<pre>
BUBS
19?8-2004

"That'll be
five dollars."

== Fun Facts ==
*The character voices were accomplished by overdubbing the character dialogue later.
*TBC have a mousepad from [[They Might Be Giants]]' [http://store.yahoo.com/tmbg-catalog/ online store], specifically the one with the log design.
*The tombstone at the end is a reference to the end of [[replacement]]
*The [[Homeschool Winner]] quip is an obvious jab at how various H*R fansites have made such a big deal out of such an obscure character.
*It turns out, in [[virus]], that Bubs hasn't been killed off after all. That e-mail was made not too long after the DVD was released.
*This is the first time we hear the 'Powered by the Cheat' version of The King of Town.
*Bj�rn Borg is a famous Swedish tennis player, most well-known for defeating John McEnroe to win the 1980 Wimbledon Cup.
*The football may be a reference to the time when TBC met Emotion Eric in a rather twisted version of football.

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on different popcorn at the end to see some bowling animations by The Cheat. (You can't click on them until Homestar is done with his little tune) There are five in all.
=== Strike ===
''{Ten bowling pin chickens are assembled outside a barn. A giant blue bowling ball rolls in from the right and knocks them all down. As the bowling ball collides with the chickens, the words "Hit 'em!" appear on the screen. A farmer appears from the bottom of the screen. A chicken lands on his head, and he turns around.}''

'''FARMER:''' Stee-rike.

=== Split ===
''{A single bowling pin stands on a white table. A guillotine blade comes down from the top and splits it in half. The halves fall onto the table, revealing disgusting-looking bowling pin innards. The halves spurt blood into the center of the screen, forming the word "SPLiT".}''

=== Spare ===
''{The bowling pins are set up in a prehistoric setting. A giant The Cheat-like monster appears on the left. The Cheat monster roars, then fires eye-lasers at the bowling pins, causing half of them to go away. The Cheat monster fires its eye-lasers again, and the rest of the bowling pins disappear. The Cheat monster roars again, and a spare symbol comes out of his mouth and centers on the screen with the word "SPARE!" underneath.}''

=== Double Gutter ===
''{Two heads spit out bowling balls into their respective gutter. The end of the bowling lane turns into a mouth and chomps up the bowling balls, then emits a flashing "DOUBLe gUTTeR" sign.}''

=== It's Still Your Turn! ===
''{A bowling pin stands impatiently at the end of the lane. It checks its watch, then frowns at the camera and starts "talking":}''

'''BOWLING PIN:''' ''{words on screen only}'' IT'S STILL YOUR TURN!!!

''{The screen changes to a cell phone with the words "YOR ANNOY ING FREND" on its display, and flashing red words say "turn off the cell phone & bowl".}''

==Fun Facts==
*Homestar's wooden spoon is drawn in; it would be hard to make it float in midair in front of homestar for real.
*The sign that says "Todaybor day is labor day" is also drawn in.
*Frank, presumed dead ([[army]]), is now revealed to be alive.
*This toon was called Labor Day when it originally premiered.
*It appears that The Cheat is making toons for use on bowling automatic scorers. Some scorers play such animations when someone gets a strike, spare, split, etc....

Strong Bad reveals some secret family recipes.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Coach Z]], [[The King of Town]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]]

'''Date:''' February 14, 2005

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email, na na, na na, na na, nanaNA...

<pre>
Dear Strong Bad,
When we grow up we want to be chefs. We wanted to know
if you had any secret family recipes that you would want
to share with us so...we can make them!

-Melissa and Hillary (from NJ)
</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "The usual" and "NJ" as "Nigeria"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mellie, Hillarious, being from Africa I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. ''{stops typing}'' Uncouth. ''{typing}'' Can something be just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth. Anyways, Couthy, all our family recipes tend to center around the grossing out of or the making puke of friends and well-wishers.

''{The camera cuts back, and we see The Cheat laying on the computer desk flinging floppy disks all over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Let's go try out Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend Ice Cream Showdown!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, possibly an enthusiastic "Okay!"}''

''{The Cheat stands up. The screen fades to grey and the following text appears}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Strong Bad may or may not have an actual Great Uncle Pawdabber.

''{Cut to the field. Coach Z is standing around holding a basketball}''

'''COACH Z:''' Man, what is this thing? ''{bounces it once}'' A bounce thing?

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right. Strong Bad is holding what appears to be a bowl of ice cream with yellowish sprinkles, and The Cheat is wearing a towel around his waist}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat! Wow! Look at this! It's our best friend, Coach Z. Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free ic�d c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!

'''COACH Z:''' How could I refuse? ''{throws the basketball over his shoulder}'' I can't afford the money-cost variety! ''{the basketball is falling to behind the trees.}''

''{Coach Z takes the ice cream and starts pigging out on it}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooh! Sweet mercy! ''{eats some more}'' This is orful! ''{eats more}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur.

''{Coach Z drops the bowl in shock. Strong Bad pulls away The Cheat's towel to reveal that he's been shaved from the waist down}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds like "ta-da!"}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{starts making disgusted noises and coughing up fur}'' Oof! I think I'm going to puke my pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Please don't elaborate on THAT.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking normally}'' Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!

'''STRONG BAD AND THE CHEAT:''' AUGH!

''{Strong Bad and the Cheat run away as Coach Z continues talking}''

'''COACH Z:''' You take your pants...

''{A recipe card appears on screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend
Ice Cream Showdown

Ingredients:
3 scoops (really) sour cream
1/2 of shaved The Cheat
1 bowl
1 languagely challenged vaguely coach type person

Instructions:
Mix ingredients until golden brown
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For best results, dip The Cheat in egg wash before shaving or else he'll get those red shaving bumpies all over him. Ugh.

''{Cut to the side of the King of Town's castle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Alright, we're mixing this next one up on them, The Cheat. I filled this old Speed Stick ''{pulls out some underarm deodorant reading X-treme Glacier}'' with white chocolate and we'll totally gross out or make puke The King of Town when I start eatin' it in front of him!

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

''{Cut to inside the castle. The King of Town is watching TV and eating the same type of Speed Stick we saw Strong Bad with. He also has some more underarm deodorants and spray cans in a bowl next to him.}''

'''TV ACTOR:''' You can't marry your guitar, Caleb!

'''CALEB:''' I can try!

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Ole King Droll! Checka me out! I'm eatin'- oh. Never mind. Ugh, shoulda known...

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk out}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No wait, you guys! Come back! This stuff is strong enough for a man but TASTY enough for a king! Don't you want to try any Forest Rush? Or Tundra Mist?

''{A recipe card spins onscreen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Crazy Aunt Eulatherm's Deodorant
Doppelganger

Ingredients:
6 oz. white chocolate
1/2 of shaved The Cheat (for moral support)
1 kinda cleaned-out De-odor Cake

Instructions:
Mix ingredients. Preheat oven. Add hot sauce
if necessary
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, how come deodorants and stuff are always named after biomes anyways?

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan is sitting on the couch reading The Latest News. Homestar walks in carrying one of Strong Bad's Pre-Tend Ice Cream Showdown bowls.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{setting aside her paper, clearly amused}'' Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' WHAT?! ''{does a spit take, producing some fur}'' Strong Bad told me it was sour CREAM and The Cheat hair! Looks like THIS is a job for Stupid Uncle Egg's Goodtime Diaper Pie!

''{Homestar walks offscreen to the left. The screen greys and the following text appears on it}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Homestar Runner definitely does not have a Stupid Uncle Egg.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room. A pinecone and bendy straw are in a bowl with a sign next to it reading "not A pimecone, diaper pie! i mean reg-ular pie." Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in. The Cheat is now wearing yellow post-it notes, some with black dots on them, to try and cover up his shaved area}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it looks TOTALLY real. I swear, no one'll be able to tell! Oh, what's this? ''{Strong Bad picks up the sign}'' "Not a pimecone." Well, he's got that right!

''{Homestar pokes his head in from the right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh look, it's my best friends Cheat and The Strong Bad! Hey, I heard you guys been eatin' some serious regular pie in here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah man! We've even got some left over if you want it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well if it's anywhere near as good as your free ice cream!

''{Homestar puts the pine cone in his mouth and starts crunching it up. The Cheat and Strong Bad look at each other incredulously}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with his mouth full}'' Well, so long, suckers!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It's like, even when we win, he wins.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you go girls and boys. Recipes for the ages. But if you really want to be chefs when you grow up, we've got a super-secret family recipe for cooking the C-H-E-blank-T ''{types this as "C H E _ T"}''

''{The Cheat makes a very angry noise from offscreen and chucks a floppy disk reading "YOU JERK!" at Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! ''{typing}'' And of course that blank is for the letter K. The Chekt. My family's got a great recipe for cooking the Chekt. Yeah, yeah. ''{only types one "yeah"}'' We're mostly from Bumdumbourge. It's near, uh, Totalslava. "Come down off that smokestack and eat your the Chekt!" my poopaw used to say. Ah, my dear poopaw, I miss you so.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' I think the Cheat bought it. Let me know if you want that recipe.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "grow up" to hear a few seconds of the television program the King of Town was watching.
::''{cut back to the King of Town's castle. The TV is still on}''
::'''TV ACTOR:''' Caleb, that hamburger was mine!
::'''CALEB:''' It's mine now!
*At the end, click on "C H E _ T" to see the Cheat reading a book entitled "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman?", with a picture of The Cheat putting a lid on a pot with Strong Bad in it.
*At the end, click on "poopaw" to hear what the announcer has to say about a poopaw.
::'''NARRATOR:''' I, uh, I don't even know what a poopaw is.
*At the end, click on "the Chekt" to see another recipe.
<pre>
From the Kitchen of Poopaw
Chicken-fried the CHEKT

Ingredients:
3 or 7 medium sized the Chekts
2 salt
40 pancakes

Instructions:
Get down off smokestack. Then cook that
ugly thing.

''{"Bumdumbourge '96" appears as a watermark on the recipe card.}''
</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first reference to any of Strong Bad's (potential) family besides Strong Sad, Strong Mad, and his parents.
* A "poopaw" may be a reference to Strong Bad's father (or grandfather). A few similar sayings are "meemaw" (or "mamaw") for a grandmother, and a "papaw" for a grandfather.
*This is the first time that The Cheat is referred to ''directly'' as simply "Cheat" without the preceding "The". 

=== Remarks ===
*Strong Bad remarks about the possibility of something being just plain 'couth'. Couth means "possessing a high degree of sophistication" or "refined". Someone as literate as Strong Bad should know that.
*When Strong Bad is talking to The Cheat flinging the discs, if you manage to zoom in on the Lappy's screen, you'll find out that some different stuff are typed in (not all of it is visible due to Strong Bad's head blocking the Lappy screen):
<pre>so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. Can something be
just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth.
I wouldn't put that past him. Not that you could put
anything past that guy. Y'know on account of he's so fat.
And maybe standing in a really narrow alleyway of some

around the grossing out of or the making puke of friends
and well-wishers.</pre>

=== Goofs ===
*When Strong Bad reads the "pimecone" card, the computer screen is almost blank... but still has "and well-wishers." written on it in the same area where Strong Bad typed it before.
*When Coach Z bounces the basketball, it sounds like a dodgeball instead of a basketball.

=== Inside References ===
*The newspaper Marzipan is reading is the exact same one (down to the repeating text) she was reading in [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*The effect used before Strong Bad and Homestar Runner show off their recipes was previously used in [[radio]].
*The book in the easter egg is titled "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman". This phrase has described Strong Bad previously in the 27 Jan 2005 [[Sketchbook]], the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/auction.html auction] easter egg in [[english paper]], an easter egg in [[personal favorites]], and in [[army]]. The reason for this term should be clear.
*Homestar's use of the word "pimecone" instead of "pinecone" is reminiscent of his usage of the word "pamcakes" instead of "pancakes" in [[montage]].
*This is also the second time that Strong Bad's cooking has made Coach Z puke, the first time was in [[couch patch]]

=== Real-World References ===
*The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to "Secret" brand deodorant ads.
*Bumdumbourge and Totalslava could be loose references to the country of Luxembourg (and possibly many European cities whose names end in -burg or -bourg) and the city of Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia).
*"Old King Droll" is a reference to the nursery rhyme "[[Wikipedia:Old King Cole|Old King Cole]]."
*The floppy disk reads "[[Wikipedia:Battle Chess|Battle Chess]]", an early-90s-era chess game for the PC that featured animated chess pieces that fought with each other when trying to occupy the same square.

Mike and Matt Chapman give a 110% true, behind the scenes look on how Matt does the character voices. Seriously!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]

== Transcript ==
''{A title screen reading simply "Sample of Style" appears. Cut to Mike standing in a doorway}''

'''MIKE:''' Hi! ''{catches a football tossed at him}'' I'm Mike Chapman from homestarrunner.com! People are all the time asking me "Mike, how do you do those stupid voices for your dumb animal characters?" and I say "I'm Mike! Matt does the voices!" Let's go!

''{cut to outside a closed wooden door. Mike looks at the camera and nods knowingly, then knocks on the door}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt! It's Mike!

''{We can hear some noise from inside. Mike opens the door and we hear Matt saying some weird sound effects into a microphone. Nearby are some keyboards and computer equipment.}''

'''MIKE:''' Cut!

''{Matt now notices Mike, and stands up.}''

'''MATT:''' Hey!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, I was just telling the guys how you do the voices for homestarrunner.com

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah! The website!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

''{Mike tosses the football to Matt, who catches it. The camera starts to follow Matt as he walks to the right}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah! Uh, well, you know, it's kind of an industry secret, so we keep them here under lock and key. Uh, let me just- do you have the key, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{Mike gives Matt a key, and Matt "unlocks" a cabinet door (or rather, makes a sound effect implying it's been unlocked). The camera angle shifts so that it's behind Mike and Matt. We can see wire boxes full of material, an old Compy 386-style computer on top of the cabinet, and a huge cork board with hair metal band photos on it. Matt produces a briefcase from inside the cabinet and sets it on top}''

'''MATT:''' So here it is.

''{The camera cuts closer to the briefcase. Matt opens it to reveal cardboard tubes with the names of the characters written on them. Matt takes one out labeled "Homestar Runner"}''

'''MATT:''' Hey, Mike. ''{starts talking into it, the Homestar voice comes out}'' Oh hello, Mike! Check me out!

'''MIKE:''' Easy there, Homestar!

'''MATT:''' Hahaha, ''{suddenly shifts tone to dead seriousness}'' stop the camera.

''{The camera cuts now to Mike, then pans back to Matt}''

'''MIKE:''' So if that's how you do Homestar Runner, how about the King of Town?

'''MATT:'''Good question, Mike. ''{takes out the cardboard tube labeled The King of Town}'' The King of Town is a little more difficult. I have to employ a little of ''this'' strategy... ''{Matt puts the tube up to his mouth and one hand on the other end of the tube to act as a mute. The King of Town voice comes out}'' Dooooo hoo hoooo! I'm so hungry! I want a lot of food items!

'''MIKE:''' ''{just off-camera}'' Wow, that's impressive. ''{camera puts him back in frame}'' The King likes food, doesn't he?

''{Matt laughs a little. Cut to Matt sitting at his computer workstation. Coach Z and Strong Mad are on the screen. Matt hits a button the keyboard, puts a Coach Z cardboard tube up to his mouth, and turns to the microphone}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Coach Z voice}'' Hey Strong Mad, you're doin' a great joraerb there! ''{quick switches the tube out for a Strong Mad tube, producing the Strong Mad voice}'' I DON'T HAVE A JOB! ''{switch}'' I say ya done a groot joob! ''{switch}'' YOU'RE A GROOT JOOB! ''{switch}'' Bjorn Borg! ''{switch}'' RAAAAH! ''{switch}'' Where's th- ''{switch}'' RAAAH! ''{switch}'' fjords? ''{switch}'' RAAAAHHH!

''{Cut to Mike, who is standing by the briefcase}''

'''MIKE:''' That's great for you, Matt, ''{takes a cardboard tube labeled "Strong Bad"}'' but what happens if '''''I''''' use one of these things? ''{puts the tube up to his mouth, and the Powered By The Cheat version of Strong Bad comes out}'' I think this is sounding pretty good.

''{Mike puts the tube down, and grabs the King of Town cardboard tube to put up to his mouth}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Powered by the Cheat KoT}'' I'm the King of Town!

''{Mike grabs the Strong Mad and Homsar tubes, puts them end to end, and produces an awful racket before pulling them away from his lips}''

'''MIKE:''' What happened?

''{Cut to Mike leaning on a stacked-up amp}''

'''MATT:''' ''{offscreen}'' I was really, really unhappy with what you did. I-I thought it was terrible.

'''MIKE:''' I didn't do it.

''{Cut to Mike sitting on the cabinet}''

'''MIKE:''' Now this one REALLY creeps me out!

''{Pan to Matt at the computer workstation, wearing Missy's glasses, and speaking into a Marzipan tube}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Marizpan voice}'' And then I went to the STORE, and then I punched somebody in the face, and then I picked a flower, and then... I did something else and then I blew my nose.

''{Cut back to Mike leaning on the amps. He now has a white phone in his shirt's breast pocket. Mike makes a fake ringing noise, and "answers" the phone}''

'''MIKE:''' Hello?

''{The phone REALLY starts ringing. Matt and Mike start laughing. The frame "jumps"}''

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, some trucker wants to know how you do the voices for those terrible old-timey cartoons you're always making.

''{The camera pans to Matt}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, that's a great question, Mike. What we had to do with THAT was jury-rig a little sample of style. ''{grabs a styrofoam cup with "Old Timey Filter" written on it.}'' Take a simple voice like, say, Strong Bad ''{takes the Strong Bad tube from the briefcase}'' and add the Old Timey Filter onto it. ''{Matt holds the cup to the end of the tube}'' Let's see what we get. ''{Matt starts speaking into the tube, producing Sir Strong Bad}'' I'll give you old-timey, you mountebank!

'''MIKE:''' Excuse me?

''{Matt starts laughing evilly}''

'''MIKE:''' Fresh!

''{Matt keeps laughing, until finally Mike tackles him}''

'''MATT:''' Oh I'm sorry Mike!

''{Cut to Mike looking around confusedly. We can hear The Cheat noises being made}''

'''MIKE:''' Where is that coming from?

''{More The Cheat noises. Mike looks over to the side, and the camera focuses on what he looked at; a Kick the Cheat doll.}''

'''MIKE:''' What?

''{The Cheat noises}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{poking the doll}'' Are you talking, little guy?

''{More The Cheat noises. Mike looks behind him}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Matt!

''{Camera pans to Matt, holding up a short cardboard tube with The Cheat written on it, and making more The Cheat noises. Cut to Matt holding up what appears to be two cardboard tubes end to end.}''

'''MATT:''' OK, ready!

''{The camera zooms out, and we can see that Mike is helping hold up more, so it looks like all of the tubes have been combined into one big mega tube. Matt speaks into the tube}''

'''MATT:''' ''{Stinkoman voice}'' '''''DOUBLE DEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE''''' gah!

''{Matt catches his breath. Cut to Matt and Mike standing near the briefcase again.}''

'''MIKE:''' I want to do another one, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Nah, that's all the time we've got for today, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' No, seriously!

''{Matt and Mike start scuffling over one of the tubes, resulting in the tube becoming mangled. We can see that it was labeled "Bubs"}''

'''MATT:''' Great. Now we have to kill off Bubs. Just like Homeschool Winner.

''{Matt throws the mangled tube at Mike angrily, hitting him}''

'''MATT:''' I'm outta here.

''{Matt walks off in a huff. Mike picks up the mangled tube and talks into it}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Powered by The Cheat Bubs}'' My name's Bubs! This is my regulah voice! ''{stops talking into it and shrugs}'' Sounds good to me.

''{The screen fades to a cartoon tombstone, reading as follows:}''

<pre>
BUBS
19?8-2004

"That'll be
five dollars."

== Fun Facts ==
*The character voices were accomplished by overdubbing the character dialogue later.
*TBC have a mousepad from [[They Might Be Giants]]' [http://store.yahoo.com/tmbg-catalog/ online store], specifically the one with the log design.
*The tombstone at the end is a reference to the end of [[replacement]]
*The [[Homeschool Winner]] quip is an obvious jab at how various H*R fansites have made such a big deal out of such an obscure character.
*It turns out, in [[virus]], that Bubs hasn't been killed off after all. That e-mail was made not too long after the DVD was released.
*This is the first time we hear the 'Powered by the Cheat' version of The King of Town.
*Bj�rn Borg is a famous Swedish tennis player, most well-known for defeating John McEnroe to win the 1980 Wimbledon Cup.
*The football may be a reference to the time when TBC met Emotion Eric in a rather twisted version of football.

Strong Bad reveals some secret family recipes.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Coach Z]], [[The King of Town]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]]

'''Date:''' February 14, 2005

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email, na na, na na, na na, nanaNA...

<pre>
Dear Strong Bad,
When we grow up we want to be chefs. We wanted to know
if you had any secret family recipes that you would want
to share with us so...we can make them!

-Melissa and Hillary (from NJ)
</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "The usual" and "NJ" as "Nigeria"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mellie, Hillarious, being from Africa I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' so our recipes may seem a bit uncouth. ''{stops typing}'' Uncouth. ''{typing}'' Can something be just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth. Anyways, Couthy, all our family recipes tend to center around the grossing out of or the making puke of friends and well-wishers.

''{The camera cuts back, and we see The Cheat laying on the computer desk flinging floppy disks all over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Let's go try out Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend Ice Cream Showdown!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, possibly an enthusiastic "Okay!"}''

''{The Cheat stands up. The screen fades to grey and the following text appears}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Strong Bad may or may not have an actual Great Uncle Pawdabber.

''{Cut to the field. Coach Z is standing around holding a basketball}''

'''COACH Z:''' Man, what is this thing? ''{bounces it once}'' A bounce thing?

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right. Strong Bad is holding what appears to be a bowl of ice cream with yellowish sprinkles, and The Cheat is wearing a towel around his waist}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat! Wow! Look at this! It's our best friend, Coach Z. Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free icèd c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!

'''COACH Z:''' How could I refuse? ''{throws the basketball over his shoulder}'' I can't afford the money-cost variety!

''{Coach Z takes the ice cream and starts pigging out on it}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooh! Sweet mercy! ''{eats some more}'' This is orful! ''{eats more}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur.

''{Coach Z drops the bowl in shock. Strong Bad pulls away The Cheat's towel to reveal that he's been shaved from the waist down}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds like "ta-da!"}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{starts making disgusted noises and coughing up fur}'' Oof! I think I'm going to puke my pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Please don't elaborate on THAT.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking normally}'' Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!

'''STRONG BAD AND THE CHEAT:''' AUGH!

''{Strong Bad and the Cheat run away as Coach Z continues talking}''

'''COACH Z:''' You take your pants...

''{A recipe card appears on screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend
Ice Cream Showdown

Ingredients:
3 scoops (really) sour cream
1/2 of shaved The Cheat
1 bowl
1 languagely challenged vaguely coach type person

Instructions:
Mix ingredients until golden brown
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For best results, dip The Cheat in egg wash before shaving or else he'll get those red shaving bumpies all over him. Ugh.

''{Cut to the side of the King of Town's castle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Alright, we're mixing this next one up on them, The Cheat. I filled this old Speed Stick ''{pulls out some underarm deodorant reading X-treme Glacier}'' with white chocolate and we'll totally gross out or make puke The King of Town when I start eatin' it in front of him!

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

''{Cut to inside the castle. The King of Town is watching TV and eating the same type of Speed Stick we saw Strong Bad with. He also has some more underarm deodorants and spray cans in a bowl next to him.}''

'''TV ACTOR:''' You can't marry your guitar, Caleb!

'''CALEB:''' I can try!

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Ole King Droll! Checka me out! I'm eatin'- oh. Never mind. Ugh, shoulda known...

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk out}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No wait, you guys! Come back! This stuff is strong enough for a man but TASTY enough for a king! Don't you want to try any Forest Rush? Or Tundra Mist?

''{A recipe card spins onscreen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Crazy Aunt Eulatherm's Deodorant
Doppelganger

Ingredients:
6 oz. white chocolate
1/2 of shaved The Cheat (for moral support)
1 kinda cleaned-out De-odor Cake

Instructions:
Mix ingredients. Preheat oven. Add hot sauce
if necessary
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, how come deodorants and stuff are always named after biomes anyways?

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan is sitting on the couch reading The Latest News. Homestar walks in carrying one of Strong Bad's Pre-Tend Ice Cream Showdown bowls.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{setting aside her paper, clearly amused}'' Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' WHAT?! ''{does a spit take, producing some fur}'' Strong Bad told me it was sour CREAM and The Cheat hair! Looks like THIS is a job for Stupid Uncle Egg's Goodtime Diaper Pie!

''{Homestar walks offscreen to the left. The screen greys and the following text appears on it}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Homestar Runner definitely does not have a Stupid Uncle Egg.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room. A pinecone and bendy straw are in a bowl with a sign next to it reading "not A pimecone, diaper pie! i mean reg-ular pie." Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in. The Cheat is now wearing yellow post-it notes, some with black dots on them, to try and cover up his shaved area}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it looks TOTALLY real. I swear, no one'll be able to tell! Oh, what's this? ''{Strong Bad picks up the sign}'' "Not a pimecone." Well, he's got that right!

''{Homestar pokes his head in from the right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh look, it's my best friends Cheat and The Strong Bad! Hey, I heard you guys been eatin' some serious regular pie in here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah man! We've even got some left over if you want it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well if it's anywhere near as good as your free ice cream!

''{Homestar puts the pine cone in his mouth and starts crunching it up. The Cheat and Strong Bad look at each other incredulously}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with his mouth full}'' Well, so long, suckers!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It's like, even when we win, he wins.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you go girls. Recipes for the ages. But if you really want to be chefs when you grow up, we've got a super-secret family recipe for cooking the C-H-E-blank-T ''{types this as "C H E _ T"}''

''{The Cheat makes a very angry noise from offscreen and chucks a floppy disk reading "YOU JERK!" at Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! ''{typing}'' And of course that blank is for the letter K. The Chekt. My family's got a great recipe for cooking the Chekt. Yeah, yeah. ''{only types one "yeah"}'' We're mostly from Bumdumbourge. It's near, uh, Totalslava. "Come down off that smokestack and eat your the Chekt!" my poopaw used to say. Ah, my dear poopaw, I miss you so.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' I think the Cheat bought it. Let me know if you want that recipe.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "grow up" to hear a few seconds of the television program the King of Town was watching.
::''{cut back to the King of Town's castle. The TV is still on}''
::'''TV ACTOR:''' Caleb, that hamburger was mine!
::'''CALEB:''' It's mine now!
*At the end, click on "C H E _ T" to see the Cheat reading a book entitled "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman?", with a picture of The Cheat putting a lid on a pot with Strong Bad in it.
*At the end, click on "poopaw" to hear what the announcer has to say about a poopaw.
::'''NARRATOR:''' I, uh, I don't even know what a poopaw is.
*At the end, click on "the Chekt" to see another recipe.
<pre>
From the Kitchen of Poopaw
Chicken-fried the CHEKT

Ingredients:
3 or 7 medium sized the Chekts
2 salt
40 pancakes

Instructions:
Get down off smokestack. Then cook that
ugly thing.

''{"Bumdumbourge '96" appears as a watermark on the recipe card.}''
</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first reference to any of Strong Bad's (potential) family besides Strong Sad, Strong Mad, and his parents.
* A "poopaw" may be a reference to Strong Bad's father (or grandfather). A few similar sayings are "meemaw" (or "mamaw") for a grandmother, and a "papaw" for a grandfather.
*This is the first time that The Cheat has been ''directly'' addressed as just "Cheat" without the word "The" preceeding it, as well as the first time that Strong Bad has been directly addressed by another character ''with'' a "The" preceeding his name! This may possibly be an add-on to the senseless names used in this email.

=== Remarks ===
*Strong Bad remarks about the possibility of something being just plain 'couth'. Couth means "possessing a high degree of sophistication" or "refined". Someone as literate as Strong Bad should know that.

=== Goofs ===
*When Strong Bad reads the "pimecone" card, the computer screen is almost blank... but still has "and well-wishers." written on it in the same area where Strong Bad typed it before.

=== Inside References ===
*The newspaper Marzipan is reading is the exact same one (down to the repeating text) she was reading in [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*The effect used before Strong Bad and Homestar Runner show off their recipes was previously used in [[radio]].
*The book titled "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman" is a nod to the sketch of Strong Bad labeled "Wrestleman" that appeared in the [[Sketchbook]].
*Homestar's use of the word "pimecone" instead of "pinecone" is reminiscent of his usage of the word "pamcakes" instead of "pancakes" in [[montage]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to the deodorant "Secret"'s ad campaign.
*Bumdumbourge and Totalslava could be loose references to the country of Luxembourg (and possibly many European cities whose names end in -burg or -bourg) and the city of Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia).
*"Old King Droll" is a reference to the nursery rhyme "[[Wikipedia:Old King Cole|Old King Cole]]."
*The floppy disk reads "[[Wikipedia:Battle Chess|Battle Chess]]", an early-90s-era chess game for the PC that featured animated chess pieces that fought with each other when trying to occupy the same square.

50K Racewalker

Kamek — Tue, 08 Feb 2005 18:35:44 GMT

Kamek: /* Fun Facts */ The game in general is a parody of old Track and Field video games.

[[Image:50Kracewalk.PNG|thumb|220px|OOPS!! You lose!!]]
[[Image:50Kracewalkbox.PNG|thumb|220px|Taste a walk!]]
'''50K Racewalker''' is a [[Videlectrix]] game by [[Jonathan Howe]].
Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right... OOPS!!! You lose!! Alternate left right for about five hours without messing up and you could win the gold!!

'''Page Title:''' Take some steps!

== Instructions ==
After designing your character, and race mode starts, wait for the gun to fire and the word "Go" appears.

Then, taking your time, press "Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right..." slowly. If you do it too fast you'll get a FAULT. If you press the same key twice you will get a FAULT.

A FAULT is an annoying message that will appear and your character will stop for a few seconds.

For every white line you pass on the track, you have traveled .01 kilometers. There are 40 successful "steps" required between each white line, and 50.00 kilometers to go. That's a lot of walking!

==Glitches==
*Sometimes the game will load up incorrect data where you'll start at 0.01k and it will say fault for every step you take.
*When you get to the end and you are on the pedestal you can still walk but you just stay in the same place and one set of lights moves left.
**Once the cheering in the end stops, this can no longer be done.

== Easter Eggs ==
*There is a "big head mode" in a nod to NBA Jam, and many other sports games. To toggle between "big head" and normal press the 'h' key on the "Choose it out" screen.
*There is a fat walker mode. To toggle between a fat walker and a normal one press the 'f' key on the "Choose it out" screen.
**These tricks are case-sensitive and must be typed in lowercase.
*The arms on the walker can be moved up and down by pressing the arrow keys on the "Choose it out" screen.
*There are five different special combinations that can be put together on the "Choose it out" screen, each of which gives you a special name rather than "Steak Styles".
** WILT CHAMBERLAIN: (it doesn't let you edit name when you do this one)

*** Shoes: Black

== Fun Facts ==
*This game is a parody of early Track and Field video games for older consoles, which simulated various track and field events by requiring the player to perform various tricks on the controller such as rapidly pushing the same button, alternating between two different buttons, rotate the joystick a certain number of times, or something similar.
*The "LICENSED BY FUNMACHINE" screen at the beginning pokes fun at classic video games and consoles, especially the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]] which displayed a "LICENSED BY SEGA" screen before each game, regardless of whether the game was actually licensed or not.
**The name "FUNMACHINE" may be a reference to the Nintendo 64, which was sometimes referred to as "The Fun Machine" on the packaging.
**[[Videlectrix]] fans should also note that [[Secret Collect]] was also for the FUNMACHINE, while Strong Bad's [[RhinoFeeder]] was for the SUPER FUNMACHINE.
*When you approach 1K, your character starts walking into a pixelated blackness. Once you reach 1K, a message pops up, saying that it didn't expect anyone to get this far, and to hold on. After a few seconds, the blackness is apparently programmed in, and you can continue.
*When you get to the end it shows you a screen that says "You placed 3rd", and shows your character walking up onto a stand that reads "3", with two others on "1" and "2".
**You can view the end screen by right clicking and pressing play or foward in the swf file.
*The signs you walk/run by say:
**Walk!
**Go ________!(Whatever you typed in for a name.)
**Farther!
**These boots were made for it!
**I've always loved you!
**Our arms are getting tired!
**You're almost there!
**With your feet!
**Walk it off!
**Fun sport!
**Iron Steed!
**Beware Cheplin!
**Weapons located in every corner!
**Why?
**Play footsie with me!
**Walk Better!
**Left! Right! Left! Right!
*You can highlight the text on the signs in the background with your mouse like you would regular text on a word processor.
*The fastest you can walk is approximately 0.04 km per minute, meaning the fastest that one kilometer can be walked is 25 minutes. It would take 1250 minutes, or 20 hours and 50 minutes, to walk 50 kilometers.
*Finishing the 50k would take, at 40 steps per 0.01k, 200,000 steps/keypresses.
*40 steps per .01 km averages to 25 cm, or about 9.8" per step. That's almost a tiptoe.
*This game was last seen in Strong Bad's [[Floppy Disk Container Plus|floppy disk container]] in the email [[sibbie]].
*The cheering sound when you cross a line comes from several games for the Intellivision game system.
*The line "these boots were made for it!" is a reference to the famous Nancy Sinatra song "These Boots Are Made For Walking."
*[[Wikipedia:Wilt Chamberlain|Wilt Chamberlain]] was an legendary NBA player (among other things) who holds nearly 100 NBA records.
*[[Wikipedia:Bruce Lee|Bruce Lee]] was a legendary martial artist, film star, and creator of the Jeet Kune Do style of martial arts.

lunch special

Kamek — Sat, 05 Feb 2005 00:22:54 GMT

Kamek: /* Easter Eggs */

[[Image:sbemail102.PNG|thumb|What became of the concession stand]]

'''Strong Bad Email #102'''

"Someone" says he'll show Strong Bad a hot girl if he can get Bubs to give out some free lunch specials. Strong Bad switches it up a bit.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Bubs]], [[The Cheat]], [[Coach Z]], [[Homestar Runner]] (easter egg)'''

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sings}'' Oh email, I'm gonna let you down easy... when I break up with you.

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad,
Get Bubs to give out free luncch
specials and I'll show you a hot girl.</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stops reading}'' Hm. Sounds like a solid deal!

<pre>Sincerly,
Someone</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "luncch" as "lunkich" and pronounces "sincerly" as written}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I hate it when they don't put a name. And when they misspell "sincerely." "Luncch" doesn't bother me so much.

''{Strong Bad backspaces and erases the last two lines, then types out two new ones}''

<pre>Keep on tranglin,
Larry Pat</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well Larry, legend has it that Bubs has to give you a free lunch special if you can get him to say his name backwards - minus the first b. "Sbu." You have to get him to say "Sbu." How hard could that be, right? I mean, I'm saying "sbu" all the time. This'll be a cakewalk. At least a sbu-walk.

''{Cut to Bubs's Concession Stand. A sign that reads "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice - Smoothies Too!" is hanging over the "Bubs Concession Stand" marquee. Bubs is inside holding a chicken in one arm and wiping it with a cloth. Strong Bad enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{sings}'' Shinin' up a chicken in the mo'nin', mo'nin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs... read this sign for me. ''{holds up a sign}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{squints at the sign, then reads slowly}'' "Duck A L'Orange."

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{spins the sign around and reads it. Indeed it says, "Duck A L'Orange." Produces a walkie-talkie}'' The Cheat, I thought I told you to make it say "sbu!"

''{The screen splits down the center. On the right is Strong Bad. On the left is The Cheat, who also has a walkie talkie and is sitting next to Strong Bad's computer. A piece of paper attached to the back wall says "Home Base" and has a Strong Badified skull and crossbones drawn on it.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' (assorted Cheat sounds)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you really want some duck a l'orange, huh? You know we can't afford to eat like that! ''{looks to the side, then puts his hand near his mouth to hide his voice}'' Aren't you a duck anyways?

'''THE CHEAT:''' {angry Cheat sounds)

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. You kinda remind me of a duck...

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. Strong Bad enters holding a mirror}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubbsie! Say your name into this mirror. ''{holds up the mirror}''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hold on. ''{puts the mirror closer to Bubs's face}'' Okay, say it again. Say it ''real'' clear this time.

'''BUBS:''' ''{slower}'' Buh-ubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this thing is worthless! ''{He smashes the mirror on the ground and walks away}''

''{Fade to black again. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. This time, Coach Z is there ordering something.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down, a couple of egg rolls... ''{slams his hands to the countertop and speaks forcefully}'' ...and a cod plank platter!

'''BUBS:''' You got it!

''{Strong Bad walks up and throws a hose into the stand}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting off to the side}'' All right, The Cheat! Crank it! ''{water starts pouring through the hose}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Can I help you?

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he's flooding you out. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out! 
''{They stop and stare at each other.}''

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he- 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm floo- 
''{They stop and stare at each other again, and Strong Bad puts his fist in front of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out until you say your name backwards minus the first B!

'''BUBS:''' Why are you trying to get me to say "sbu?"

'''STRONG BAD:''' THERE! You said it! Now you gotta give me a free lunch special!

'''BUBS:''' ''{shakes his head}'' No, no, no. Getting me to say my name backwards minus the B just makes me lose my super power!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What super power?

'''BUBS:''' Being able to fly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can fly?!

'''BUBS:''' Well... ''{hangs head down}'' not anymore I can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right.

'''BUBS:''' Eh, I never really used it all that much. Since I gained all this weight, I could really only hover a couple two or three inches above the ground anyways.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{slams hands to the countertop, looks around and speaks frantically}'' Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter?!?

''{Back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm pretty sure Bubs is a big liar, but I did get him to say his name backwards minus the first B. So now you gotta show me a hot girl, Larry Pat. Or, buy me lunch. Or... whatever the deal was. I'll just go ahead and sit here and wait for the hot girl to appear on my screen, I guess. ''{stops typing, speaks quietly}'' Not like I got a whole lot else going on... mmm.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, the computer beeps and a new e-mail scrolls up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, an email!

''{Strong Bad reads the email, talking slowly and pronouncing each word just as it's written}''

<pre>Deur Strond bad,
I hava a emau] n ow. Cheet helps.

Stlong Mad</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, looks like ol' Strong Mad has finally hit the Information Superhighway like a flaming sack of crap. Oh, and there's an attachment! Maybe he sent me a picture of a hot girl.

''{Strong Bad double-clicks on the word "Attachment" underneath the email. A very poorly drawn picture of a dinosaur standing by a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of orange juice, all in front of a volcano, pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' An MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus having breakfast. ''{ends monotone}'' Well... it's a fairly hot Brontosaurus anyhow! ''{talking softly}'' Well hey, what's happenin' Brontosaurus baby... what are you doing... OKAY I GOTTA GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

''{Strong Bad gets up and runs away.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the words "Larry, legend" to see a screen shot of the game "Jordan vs. Bird: One-on-One" for the NES.
*At the end, click on the word "Bubs" to see what became of Strong Bad's effort to flood the concession stand.
*At the end, click on the word "liar" to see Bubs' power in action.
**These two eggs must be activated before Strong Mad's email pops up.
*Wait around at the end to see Strong Bad answer another email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*When The Cheat is next to [[Compy 386]], it reads:
<pre>Kickin' Recipes For
Duck A L'Orange

- 1 orange duck}}
- 2 oranges}}
- 3 frenchies}}
- 4 ovens}}
- 5 heats}}
- 6 coupons}}

Go to Captain D's
Order the Snow C
Tell your friends
really Duck A L'
It'll work!</pre>
===Remarks===
*This is another case of [[Compy 386]] acquiring a mouse cursor, despite the fact that it does not have a mouse and no cursor is normally seen. There is the possibility that the cursor is being manipulated through the right-hand numeric keypad.
===Inside References===
*The author of the email seems to be referring to the end of [[no loafing]].
*The [[Cold One]] that The Cheat is lounging with in the easter egg is a "Coldson Lite", a reference to [[labor day]].
*When The Cheat is lounging, he has the same expression on his face and is in the same position he had in [[privileges]].
*This e-mail marks the second time The Cheat has been mistaken for a bird of some kind, the other being in [[helium]], in which Homestar identified the floating, helium filled The Cheat as "an ugly bird".
===Real-World References===
*The "Larry, legend" easter egg refers to Larry Bird, a former basketball player for the Boston Celtics. He was one of the greatest NBA players ever, and is often referred to as "Larry Legend" by his fans.
*Getting Bubs to say his name backwards (minus the first 'B') sounds like a spoof of Mr. Mxyzptlk, a mischief-making villain from the Superman comics. In order to get the reality-warping imp to go back to his home dimension, Superman had to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards.
*In the background when The Cheat is lounging, you hear [[The Brothers Chaps]]' version of "Aloha 'Oe", a popular Hawaiian tune.
*Bubs' levitation easter egg is probably a reference to popular "street magician" David Blaine, whose most famous trick is levitating a few inches off the ground, in broad daylight. Real or not, it's pretty cool to see.
*The walkie talkie Strong Bad and The Cheat use are World War 2 portable radios.

Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat go toilet-papering. Strong Sad and Marzipan try to contact the spirit of Credenza, her dead ficus plant. The rest of the crew go trick-or-treating.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Strong Mad]], [[The Cheat]], [[The King of Town]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[The Goblin]], [[Stinkoman]] (easter egg), [[Homsar]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==
''{The scene opens with HOMESTAR RUNNER at Bubs' Concession Stand, finalizing a transaction.}''

'''BUBS:''' ...and 16 cents is your change. ''{drops the change on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Free money!

'''BUBS:''' So, what are you gettin' into tonight, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{drags his foot on the ground}'' I dunno. Marzipan and those are gonna try to summon the spirit of her dead ficus plant, but that sounds dumb and boring, so I'll probably just end up trick-or-treatin'.

'''BUBS:''' What about Strong Bad? What's he doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. You can never tell with that guy.

''{STRONG BAD approaches the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok, Bubs. I'll have 90 rolls of toilet paper and 60 dozen eggs. ''{looks around}'' ...and a corn dog.

'''BUBS:''' I got it all packed up for you in the wagon round back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, pally.

''{STRONG BAD and BUBS go around to the back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is he up to?

<pre>3 TIMES HALLOWEEN FUNJOB

talkings by matt and missy

MU-HU-HA-HA</pre>

''{Scene: Int. MARZIPAN's house. The room is darkened. MARZIPAN (dressed as The Log Lady) and STRONG SAD (dressed as David Byrne) are standing behind a table. There is a picture of a ficus plant on the table, and three burning candles.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now Strong Sad, I need to make contact with Credenza. Homestar watered him with Yoo-Hoo while I was in Miami and he died and now I really miss him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' OK. I'll need a photograph of the deceased and two box Oreos.

''{Scene cuts to STRONG BAD (dressed as Ozone), STRONG MAD (dressed as Magnum P.I.), and THE CHEAT (dressed up as Izzy) at the forest. THE CHEAT is dragging along a wagon filled with the toilet paper and eggs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be so great you guys. Everybody's houses and pumpkins and trees won't know what hit 'em. ''{quietly}'' This is gonna be great!

''{THE KING OF TOWN enters from the right.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{dressed as Hamburglar}'' Hey, guys. What's up? What are we doing here? Making omelettes? Going to the bathroom? I'm cool with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of here, old man! We're gonna be pelting people like you and houses like your castle with these eggs.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' C'mon! Let me hang out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Forget it! C'mon, loose dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gazebo ''{pronounced ''GAZE-boh''}''.

''{STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, and THE CHEAT exit to the left. THE KING OF TOWN follows.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm dressed to hamburgle... Rubble! Rubble!

''{Cut to HOMESTAR RUNNER (dressed as John McEnroe), POM POM (dressed as Kamala the Ugandan Giant), COACH Z (dressed as Kool Moe Dee), and BUBS (dressed as Mel) hanging out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet I get...a million pounds of candy this year. A million pounds!

'''BUBS:''' Whatever. I'm goin' for quality over quantity.

'''COACH Z:''' Same here, Bubsy. I'm holdin' out for cookies with gold-plated chorclate chorps!

'''BUBS:''' ''{sigh}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'll see about that. C'mon, Pom Pom. Let's go find some houses giving away lead candies!

''{Cut to a view of the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Let 'er rip!

''{Many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera zooms out to show the gang at The Stick, which is now covered in TP.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes! All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know how to use toilet paper. Let me try.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen... ahem... Your Highness... we're about to egg the everloving crap out of your castle. It just won't be any fun if you're standing there!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah it will! On account o' I'm totally cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, you're not. But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs ''{THE CHEAT hands the KING a box of eggs}'' and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper ''{STRONG MAD tosses the KING a roll of toilet paper}'' in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a deal! ''{runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

''{The three exit to the left. The camera cuts to the door from ''The House That Gave Sucky Treats''. The door opens, revealing COACH Z and BUBS in their costumes.}''

'''BUBS:''' What the? Oh, I remember this house from a couple of years ago.

'''COACH Z:''' Trick or trort!

'''BUBS:''' C'mon, man!

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, trick or treat.

''{At this point you can choose what candy to give them by dragging it onto them.}''

==== Swedish Fish ====
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, the Swordish Forsh!

'''BUBS:''' What did I just tell you?

'''COACH Z:''' Cut me some slack. It's a crowd-pleaser.

''{door closes}''

==== Delicious "Bag" ====
'''COACH Z:'''What is that? One of them old school candies? I got some old school for you'z. ''{rapping}'' This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Me and ghetto boys are trick-or treat-en'. Robbin' little kids for bags.

'''BUBS:''' Uh... he doesn't really mean we've been out robbin' little kids. ''{door begins to close}'' No, wait...''{slam}''

==== Zagnut ====
'''BUBS:''' Aw, Zagnut!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah. Aw, Zagnut!

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Aw, Zagnut!

'''COACH Z:''' Right, right. Aw, Zagnut!

'''BOTH:''' Awwwww - ''{slam}''

''{To access the STINKOMAN easter egg, you can click on the pumpkin, or click on one of the treats without dragging them. The door shuts, and then re-opens to reveal STINKOMAN dressed as Speed Racer.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check out my new cosplay! ''{pronounced cohs-PLAY}'' I'm a demon on wheels!

==== Zagnut ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I can't eat that kind of bar because I'm in training. Don't you have of the other kinds of bars? You know... energy bars... or power bars... or training bars?

==== Prawn ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I love prawns. Simple as that! ''{dances}''

==== Jar labeled "Akira" ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' Eh. Ew. Aah! Nnn! Eh! Ew! Ahhhhh! ''{Giant tentacles start coming out of his body where his right arm should be.}'' That tickles.

''{The scene cuts to POM POM and HOMESTAR RUNNER walking along.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, Pom Pom. Did you know that lady? Why did she give you a hundred bucks? Alls I got was a dang old Bit o' Honey.

''{They come up to THE POOPSMITH (dressed as M. Bison), sticking his shovel in and out of his pile of whatsit.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Okay, Pom Pom. You knock this time.

'''POM POM:''' ''{silence}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Fine. I'll ring the doorbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! ''{He rocks his head back and forth as if he were banging it on a door}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{turns around}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' The Poopsmith! Trick or treat!

''{THE POOPSMITH sticks his shovel into the pile of whatsit. He pulls it back out and turns toward HOMESTAR and offers him some whatsit.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles, makes a face, exits to the left}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Suit yourself. More for me. ''{offers his bag to THE POOPSMITH}'' Lay it on me, Poop-Stick!

''{Cut back to STRONG SAD's seance. STRONG SAD is chanting and waving his arms.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Credenza! Credwenzia! Crewdenz--

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's been two hours and we haven't heard anything. ''{turns away}'' Credenza must hate me.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. ''{waves his arms even higher}'' Credenzell!

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

''{Cut to MARZIPAN's porch. HOMESTAR RUNNER is pounding his head on the door.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me in. Da, da, da. Let me in!

''{MARZIPAN answers the door.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!

'''HOMESTAR:''' You're so smart. I'm Homestar Runn--

'''MARZIPAN:''' Get in here, you guys. You're gonna scare away Credenza.

''{Cut to THE KING OF TOWN slurping up the rest of his toilet paper. The box of eggs is at his side, empty.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. I'm still hungry.

''{Cut back to MARIZPAN's house. HOMESTAR RUNNER, BUBS, and THE POOPSMITH are inside.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million lbs. ''{prounced LIBS}'' of candy.

'''BUBS:''' ''{pokes the bag with his spatula}'' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{takes a whiff, frowns}'' Hey, you're right! ''{turns to THE POOPSMITH}'' Poopsmith? Did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

''{Cut to the seance.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}'' Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do you mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{Cut to outside MARZIPAN's house. THE KING OF TOWN is eating MARZIPAN's candy corn lights.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{chomp chomp}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that, right now.

''{she goes back in}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Stop what? I don't do noo-thing!

''{cut back to inside}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Stupid, stupid King of Town. He gets on my nerv--''{loud banging occurs}'' What the crap!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think this is it!

''{outside, STRONG MAD is punching the side of the house with a roll of TP over and over}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh, that's not really the conventional way to roll a house, but, uh, whatever works!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{punches a hole in the house}'' HIGGINS!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh. Hi, Strong Mad. ''{mumbles}'' Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candycorn lights.

''{MARZIPAN goes back to the seance. STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, and THE CHEAT enter from the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah. What's going on in here? You guys having one of those stupid moron parties or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' OK. Everybody say it with me this time.

'''ALL except STRONG BAD and HOMESTAR:''' Credenza! Credenza!
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is boring! This is boring!
'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Witches' brew! Witches' brew!

''{the lights go out}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Woah. The lights went out.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Woah. Magic.

'''BUBS:''' Yup. I've dealt with this before. Lights: definitely out.

'''HOMESTAR:''' And somebody's a-grabbin' a-my butt.

''{the lights come on and there is a ficus plant on the table}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Credenza! You're alive!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Saints be praised! Credenza's alive!

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR:''' ...and Strong Bad got to throw toilet paper at stuff!

'''STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD AND THE CHEAT:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR:'''... and I got a million pounds of candy!

''{Silence.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' yayyy.... And then Goblin showed up dressed like a Santaman!

''{Cut to THE GOBLIN (dressed as a Santaman).}''

''THE GOBLIN:'' ''{dances}''

''ALL:'' Yay!

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Homestar asks "Did you give me some bum candy?" You can click on The Poopsmith to see Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N Roses.
:'''HOMSAR:''' I'm open for interpretations!

*At the end when eveyone is standing around, click the rightmost candycorn light to see a bonus video! See "External Links" to view this video.
:''{Puppet Homestar is at a tennis court dressed as John McEnroe, holding a tennis racquet.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously! You can't be serious! That ball was on the line! ''{taps ground with his racquet}'' Come on! I don't believe this. ''{he throws his racquet on the ground and storms off.}''

*After the cartoon is over you can click on some people to make things happen. These people are:
**'''The Poopsmith'''
::''{The Poopsmith rockets off to the right, flaming.}''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool. Flaming Poopsmith.
::''{The Poopsmith reappears from the left.}''
**'''Strong Bad'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I really like your El Debarge costume.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm not El Debarge.
::'''BUBS:''' No, no, he's Miami Sound Machine.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'm not.
::'''COACH Z:''' He's Terence Trent D'arby!
::'''STRONG BAD:''' No,I'm Carmen freakin' Mir- no, wait. I'm Ozone. From Breakin'.
**'''Strong Sad'''
::'''COACH Z:''' Well, Strong Sad, this is a beautiful house you got here.
::'''STRONG SAD:''' This is not my beautiful house!
::'''COACH Z:''' Oh, and I haven't been introduced your beautiful wife yet, neither.
::'''STRONG SAD:''' This is not my beautiful wife!
**'''The Cheat'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, The Cheat... um... dress up as something different next year. Thing's creeping me out.
**'''Bubs'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, Bubs, I really like your dirty man outfit.
::'''BUBS:''' Whatever you say, Homestar.
**'''Marzipan'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan, what's with your sweater costume?
::'''STRONG BAD:''' The Log Lady, huh? Maybe you should get together with the Poopsmith!
**'''Coach Z'''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Coach Z, I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit.
::'''COACH Z:''' I'm Kool Moe Dee! You know, from The Treacherous 3?
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, see, I only saw Treacherous 1 and 2, so, um, I wouldn't know.

*If you give Bubs and Coach Z the pumpkin candy basket next to them by the "House that gave sucky treats" door, Stinkoman comes out, dressed as Speed Racer - see the transcript. Stinkoman will also appear if you click on the light switch on the left side of the screen.

== Fun Facts ==
*a Bit o' Honey is an actual candy.
*See [[Halloween Costumes]] for more information on what everyone was wearing.
*If you give Stinkoman the jar with "Akira" on it youll get a surprise from the Anime movie of the same name.
*Marzipan says Homestar watered Credenza with Yoo-Hoo when she was in Miami. This both one of the few times a real place is referenced in H*R, and one of the not-as-few times a real product is refernced.
*The Cheat's costume may refer to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
*Strong Bad references the first Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Miranda!" and the second Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Sandiego!"
*Coach Z's mention of Strong Sad's beautiful house and beautiful wife is a reference to the Talking Heads' song "Once in a Lifetime".
*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".
*Coach Z's old school rap is the beginning of the fourth verse of the Geto Boys' "Mind Playin Tricks On Me".
*This toon suggests that [[Stinkoman]] lives in the present, and even in this country! This contradicts both all good sense and [[time capsule]], so don't worry about it.
** Remember, Stinkoman is from the future, so they might HAVE time machines then.....
*When Homestar says "someone is grabbing my butt," it is most likely Bubs, since he is right behind Homestar. Or his imagination.
**His line may be a reference to [[1 step ahead]].
*The sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]]
*The Delicious "Bag" is a reference to [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*Cosplay (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.
*The line "I'm a demon on wheels!" from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the Speed Racer theme song.
*If one listens well enough during the Credenza chant, one can hear an oddly accented voice, but it is not Coach Z. Even if you do not activate the associated Easter Egg, you can still distinctly hear Homsar's voice at the end of the chant (he's not saying anything different, his voice merely continues for a second after the others end).
* In the scene where Strong Sad is chanting Credenza's name by himself with Marzipan in the room, his voice sounds like it's reversed. This is a reference to certain scenes in the Twin Peaks series, where scenes were filmed with the actors speaking their lines backwards, then played in reverse. The lines ended up being "reversed" twice, making them understandable, but sounding very creepy.
*When everyone says "Yay!" together, it sounds like when they say it when [[The Strong Bad]] falls off the cliff in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*This toon marks the the third time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
*[[Van Buren]]'s face is on the coins given to Homestar at the beginning, marking yet another relatively-famed inside joke.
* The flaming manuever the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from Street Fighter.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception - whether or not you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
*Homestar wears pants. This doesn't seem to happen very often.
*Though now focused on the King of Town's castle, Strong Bad previously wanted to "egg the everloving crap" out of Marzipan's house in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7]].
*When Strong Mad bashes a hole in the house he yells "Higgins!!" This is a reference to the show Magnum, P.I. Higgins was Tom Selleck's boss in that show.
*Bubs' line "I remember this house from a couple of years ago." is an obvious reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*The line Homestar Says, "I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit.", at the end of the toon, might be reffering to as Wesley Snipes, the actor who played the character "Blade" in all 3 Blade movies.

*'''Store''' - The Homestar Runner says "Go to store" as [[Prince of Town|The Prince of Town]] and [[Se�or]] dance to a remix of the original intro music. The Prince of Town then says, "Crank it Se�or, this here's the joint!"
*'''Email''' - The Homestar Runner says "Send an Email" as [[Strong Sad]] runs away from a boulder in the background while saying, "Let me away from this boulder!"

'''Arcade Game'''

Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat play a Trogdor! Arcade game in da basement.

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

'''Page title:''' Quite Exciting This Computer Magic!

== Transcript ==

''{We start with a familiar scene, Compy. Except Strong Bad isn't there, and there's a Post-It on the screen saying "in da basement -sb".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{offscreen}'' Strong Bad! ''{walks up to the computer}'' Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your fondue pot again? Oh. You're not here. I'll get to the bottom of this! ''{sits down at the computer and starts typing. While he says everything correctly, he misspells "Bad".}''

<pre>Dear Stong Bah,
Where are you?
Your friend
Homestar</pre>

''{Homestar notices the note.}'' Oh! "In da basement. From SB." Ohhh, that must stand for Stong Bah. ''{he stands up and heads for da basement. Upon arriving he finds Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and the Cheat playing TROGDOR! the arcade game.}'' Hey guys! Whatcha playin'?

'''STRONG BAD''': Uh, playin'? No, we're, uh, we're doing the Cheat's taxes.

'''STRONG MAD''': W-2!!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Booring. I don't wanna play that.

''{Homestar walks off. The game blips.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Argh! Stupid peasant. ''{He kicks the arcade machine, which says in a computer voice "Trogdor!"}'' Whoah! Pretty cool! ''{He kicks it twice more, with the same results.}'' All right, who's next? ''{The Cheat makes Cheat noises.}'' Okay, fine. ''{Strong Bad gets off the stool to let the Cheat on, but he just looks at Strong Bad, makes more noises.}'' Oh, right. Here ya go, little buddy. ''{He lifts him onto the stool and the theme music begins playing. As soon as it's over...}''

'''STRONG BAD and STRONG MAD''': TROGDOR!

''{The game says "Trogdor!" and the Cheat begins playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Whoah, nice move! You're the master!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down with a link to play the Trogdor arcade game. After a little while, Homestar comes back with a stack of papers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hey, can you guys do my taxes next? ... You guys? ... Man, that's one big adding machine.

== Easter Eggs ==

*On the Monday following [[the show]], there was no new [[Strong Bad Email]]. Instead, there was a post-it note that said "In da Basement". If you clicked on it, it took you to the aformentioned toon short.
*If you wait for [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] to come by and ask them to do his taxes - after he says, "Man that is one big adding machine" you can click on the [[TROGDOR!]] game to make it say "[[Trogdor]]"
*You can click on the top of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s pile of papers to see his expenses.
*When you have [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s expenses displayed, you can click and hold on the last item in the list "straps and practice" to see a picture of something that looks like a hand-drawn baseball card.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Remarks ===
*'''Homestar's Expenses'''
::$150: pork b/w beans
::$2000: witch's brew
::$4000: refinance my hat
::$2.07: gift for Marzipan
::$1000: Fluffy Puffs
::$500: monthly protection to Strong Bad
::$500: monthly protection to Strong Mad
::$500: monthly protection to The Cheat
::$75: straps and practice
::It comes out to $8727.07.
*The top paper in [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s stack of papers says "important document #402".
* The disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is Manhunter New York. This was an adventure game for DOS, Atari ST, and Amiga, released in 1988.

=== Glitches ===
*When [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] is using [[Strong Bad]]'s computer the contrast knobs are missing, but you can click on them. They don't do anything, though.

=== Inside References ===
*Pork b/w beans refers to the Strong Bad Email [[helium]], in which [[Marzipan]] and [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] discuss the subject briefly. The abbreviation "w/" for "with" is not used, instead it's "b/w" which was used on old vinyl records and singles to refer to the B-side ("b/w" = "backed with").
*"Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your fondue pot again?" refers to [[50 emails]].
*This is another appearance of the [[Witches' Brew]].

=== Real World References ===
*[[Strong Mad]] says "W-2!", which is an IRS tax form.
*The page title "Quite exciting this computer magic" is a quote from the movie "This Is Spinal Tap". One of the band members says it while playing Atari in the tour bus.

'''Strong Bad Email #111'''

Brian asks what Strong Bad does on all the other days of the week.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Coach Z]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Sad]] (Easter Egg)

'''Date:''' August 16, 2004

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got an email in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt. ''{stops singing}'' Again with the

''{reading email}''

<pre>dear strong bad,
what do you do on all the other days
of the week?
sincerely,
brian holmes CA</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads the name as "B. Ryan Holmes, certified arborist")

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and speaking like a robot}''Good question, Brian. I am going to answer this email like a robot. Don't you think this is a great idea? ''{normal voice}'' Yeah, sorry, me neither. OK, other days o' the week. Let's see...

''{A calendar appears with a heading "A Month" and weeks starting on Monday. On Monday is written "checka my e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}''On Tuesdays, I check my snail mail.

''{"checka my snail mail" gets written in on Tuesday. Cut to Strong Bad at a mailbox that reads "sb_snailmail.exe"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got a snail mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{he opens his letter and reads it}''

<pre>Dear Mr. Bad,
This constitutes your final warning.
Please remit payment of three(3)
dollars and sixty-two(62) cents or
you will be turned over to a "cut off
your toes" -style collections agency.

Swarthily,
Bubs' Concession Stand</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking sarcastically}'' Oh, no, final warning. Is there nothing I can do to dissuade you? Like maybe give you a ride in my BMW?!? ''{Strong Bad pulls out the BMW lighter and burns the paper, laughing. He then looks around.}''WA HA HA HA! Um... where's my house?

''{Cut back to the calendar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then to better help folks over the hump, on Wednesdays I give free motivational lectures.

''{"give lecture" is written in on Wednesday. Cut to the chalkboard with Coach Z and Strong Mad listening to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gots to look inside yourself! Positate the negative. When life throws pies at you, you make yourself a tall, cool glass of piemonade.

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a new man!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M THE HUMP!

''{cut back to the calendar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Due to a prior arrest, Thursdays are community service days, so me and the old Cheatasaurus head down to Strong Badia and give the place a firm scrubbin'.

''{"community service" gets written in for Thursday. Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad is vacuuming the dirt and The Cheat is washing the Tire}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what I always say, The Cheat. Stay smart, vacuum... dirt.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine.

''{cut back to the calendar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then there's Business Casual Fridays, or as we say around the office, Biz Cas Fri. ''{"biz cas fri" appears on the Friday box}'' You know, because we have to abrev. everything.

''{cut to the office}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's the day we all wear the free polo shirts we got from various software companies.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. Did you play Online Gaming last night? No, yeah, no? I did. I got so many frags.

''{cut back to the calendar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' On Saturday I certainly don't wake up at 6 A.M., put on a Speedo, and go to swim practice. ''{"NOT swim practice" gets written in the Saturday box}'' No, no, definitely not Speedo. But I do attend: {''a flyer for Battle Axe Lessons appears onscreen}'' BATTLE AXE LESSONS AT THE REC CENTER, with my teacher Dolph Hauldhagen, The Instruc-TOR! And of course, Sunday is the OTHER day I check my email, for our Eastern European viewers across the pond.

''{"checka my eastern european emails" gets written in for Sunday. Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a gray computer with the word "BLOCK" in the bottom-left corner}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got a Polish e-mail in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

''{reading, translator speaks over Strong Bad in badly pronounced Polish: Silny Złe: Prosze rozwiazywac sznurowadło z styl głowe. Januś, Polska}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad:
Please to be untieing that shoelace on
the back of your head?

Janus
Poland</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Untie my shoelace, eh Janus? Your 
mother is the speed limit. 
Your aspirin, 
Strong Bad

''{Translator continues: Rozwiazywac sznurowadło, eh Janek? Twoja matka jest ograniczenia predkosci. Z aspriną, Silny Złe}''

''{cut back to Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's pretty much my week. Now time for a refreshing glass of piemonade, or as we say around the office, p-nade.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. The Paper comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "brian holmes CA" after Strong Bad says "Certified Arborist" to see B. Ryan Holmes' business card.
**The card reads: "B. Ryan Holmes, Certified Arborist. Phone:555-XYLM Mobile:coming soon" It has pictures of green trees and says "I think it has to do with trees!" in cursive on the bottom.
*At the end, click on "my week" to see Strong Sad waking Strong Bad up for swim practice.

== Fun Facts ==

*On biz cas fri, Homestar Runner wears a shirt labelled 'Diskettes Etc.', while Strong Bad's has 'Micro Palace'.

AXE AND AN EXERCISE MAT.

555-4AXE{x9}</pre>
*Brian Holmes and 'Holmes' (from [[huttah!]]) are both from California.
===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad dismisses the email's text to make room for his new text, as he does often, it makes the standard typing sound effects instead of the hard "enter" hitting sound.
*The calendar starts on Monday, as per some European countries. United States calendars usually start 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". It seems he's been playing numerous [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooters]], in which a "frag" is a kill.
===Goofs===
*When Homestar says "so many frags" and is looking to the left, "Diskettes Etc." appears backwards for a split second.
===Inside References===
*This is the third time that Strong Bad has talked in his sleep about Super Nintendo games. The last two times, for the record, were in [[morning routine]] and [[cheatday]]. ''(also see Real-World References)''
*[[The Office]] where "biz cas fri" takes place is the same as in [[dullard]] and the [[Senor Mortgage]] short, and the conversation is very reminiscient of that from 'dullard'.
*The room in which Strong Bad gives the "Motivational Speech" is reminiscent of the room in which he tries to teach people how to pronounce [[fhqwhgads]] in the email entitled [[sibbie]].
*When Strong Bad mentions having to do community service, it is likely a reference to the [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*The [[BMW lighter]] is used to burn the snail mail.

===Real-World References===
*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 [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Wikipedia:CRPG|RPG]], ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]''. The "I'll kill you" in the swim practice easter egg might be directed at Magus, a villain/party member in the game. ''(also see Inside References)''
*The name of his other computer, "[[Block]]", is a reference to the Soviet Bloc - those eastern European nations which were under communist government.
*The translation method used for the "Eastern European Email" is one actually used on Polish television. The original sound will be overlaid by one or more translators rather than dubbed.
*The bit where Strong Bad starts talking like a robot is a reference to Harry Altman, the spastic kid in the documentary "Spellbound," who says the same thing during an interview segment and starts talking like a weird robot.
*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 Iron Maiden's name almost always appears. One of their first ever songs, "Invasion", only released on a four track album of which 5000 copies were made, was about viking invaders.

Talk:Where's The Cheat?

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 19:20:50 GMT

Kamek: Declined fun facts

Ooh. This has a "rejects" link. What to do? ~ [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

:Just remove the "Rejects/". Everything gets its own page. Check out the other mods I made, you'll see. We also need to figure out the format of the page title and stuff. And I thin that summary might be too long... -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:18, 5 Aug 2004 (MST)

== I moved it ==

Please forgive me if the deed was rash, but I moved the page to capitolize "The Cheat" in the title.
TBC is ambigous on this, they say "Where's the Cheat" in the toon itelf, but "Where's The Cheat" on the toons menu. What tipped my scale was the pervasive capitolizing and name-izing of "The" in "The Cheat" everywhere else, as though "The" is not used as an indefinate article at all.

[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 22:30, 23 Sep 2004 (MST)

What does it mean by the "old pop-up menu"? [[User:209.221.24.138|209.221.24.138]] 18:32, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)

:It refers to the menu that pops up when you move your cursor toward the bottom of the toon. It has basically the same buttons as the main pages, with a few extra. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz~]] 18:39, 21 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Declined fun facts ==

These were on the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page and declined. If you wish to contest these, leave a note here, but don't allow it to be confused with any of the original votes.

=== Fat Cheat ===
according to the Cheats hieght and weight his Body Mass Index is 64.6 normal weight is between 18.5 and 24.9 and obesity starts at 30 [[User:homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
*'''Decline.''' You used bad grammar and bad spelling. The Cheat is not a human, so BMI doesn't apply to him. Would you use BMI to see if a dog is overweight? [[User:Rainer|Rainer]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:36, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 19:18:22 GMT

Kamek: /* Where's The Cheat? */ Fat Cheat -- voted DECLINED and moved to appropriate Talk page.

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' - this is waaay out there. Voice-Over IPs has NOTHING to do with random laser-beam sound effects; it's entirely coincidental. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 09:27, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'd!!!''' Dag, yo. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second''' [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:09, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' [[User:Kilroy|<nowiki></nowiki>]]—[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:16, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]===

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**What? Did you not see when the Ugly One got Floor Tommed, Step Mommed, and Pom Pommed? It was pretty clear she was dead.[[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 10:30, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''', actually, since it's quite true; The Ugly One was very much DEAD at that point in the flick. So... who was playing drums? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 11:17, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth.

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.

***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary.

Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite''' To something like:
*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].

==== Alms for the poor ====

Homsar's line "Alms for the pudgy!" is a reference to the common call in Ye Olde London Towne "Alms for the poor!" (as shown in Christmas Carol and others).

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!".

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

*'''Comment.''' Part of a fun fact was removed due of another vote, and I've decided to STUFF the remaining part (because, at the very least, it's not clear WHY this is a reference). --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 11:09, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)
*Pfff. Doubtful. Weak '''decline'''. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====
The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while. The sound and icon, however, are part of the Mac OS. If you have a Mac, try starting it up using Linux - the sound is the same, but the screen is different. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== The Price is Right... Again ====
The way Strong Bad is describing Lappy could be a nod to the game show ''The Price Is Right''.

*'''Decline''' Someone sure likes trying to find what MIGHT be Price is Right references - just look at the Blue Star Ointment fact from the Fairstival. This is too much of a stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:25, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Just me being picky ====
The keyboard on the lappy is placed so high on the (toon)screen, that there is no way Strong Bad could have typed on it without it showing in the toon. (Needs rewording. Badly.)

*'''Accept.''' --[[User:J to the sag|J to the sag]]

Since it wouldn't seem fair for me to cast the deciding vote and then immediately end this, I'm going to wait for someone else to do that (if I were voting, I'd just make it more confusing and say decline; I don't understand what this guy is saying at all). --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 11:21, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Weak decline.''' This isn't really very significant. But if the majority vote for it to be put on [[Lappy 486]], I'll concede. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)
*'''Declare Null and Void.''' This fact is already stated on the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] page. --[[User:pianoplayerontheroof|Pianoplayerontheroof]]
*'''Decline'''-- Your taking a cartoon too seriously. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
**There would be no STUFF if not for that. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

*'''Neutral''' Figured I'd add it here first for approval, because I could be wrong, but I believe this is the first time it's happened. Might need a rewrite too. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 05:50, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person.

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 19:12:03 GMT

Kamek: /* Mormon Missionary */ vote to accept

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth.

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.

*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is.

In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!".

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

*'''Comment.''' Part of a fun fact was removed due of another vote, and I've decided to STUFF the remaining part (because, at the very least, it's not clear WHY this is a reference). --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 11:09, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====
The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while. The sound and icon, however, are part of the Mac OS. If you have a Mac, try starting it up using Linux - the sound is the same, but the screen is different. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

==== Just me being picky ====
The keyboard on the lappy is placed so high on the (toon)screen, that there is no way Strong Bad could have typed on it without it showing in the toon. (Needs rewording. Badly.)

*'''Accept.''' --[[User:J to the sag|J to the sag]]

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Weak decline.''' This isn't really very significant. But if the majority vote for it to be put on [[Lappy 486]], I'll concede. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Accept and Move.''' This isn't exclusive to animal. Maybe put it on the lappy page as you said? - [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)
*'''Declare Null and Void.''' This fact is already stated on the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] page. --[[User:pianoplayerontheroof|Pianoplayerontheroof]]
*'''Decline'''-- Your taking a cartoon too seriously. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
**There would be no STUFF if not for that. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

*'''Neutral''' Figured I'd add it here first for approval, because I could be wrong, but I believe this is the first time it's happened. Might need a rewrite too. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 05:50, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====

The e-mail is from Dan, although Homestar refers to him as Jerome.

*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person.

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 19:08:30 GMT

Kamek: /* Heavy Lourde */ vote to decline

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**What? Did you not see when the Ugly One got Floor Tommed, Step Mommed, and Pom Pommed? It was pretty clear she was dead.[[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 10:30, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?
: Or SB's overactive imagination. After all, giant brain machines, suns becoming buzzsaws, and man-eating drums are the norm in TGS... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:45, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

*'''Decline.''' I must agree. Actually, I added the "unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson" after the fact was added, mostly for that very reason. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:35, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]

***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)
***Okay, now that someone else notices it, I'm not so sure if I'm still declining it...edit: now that two people notice it, i'm definetely not. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.
:This way, everyone will have heard the fact in question and will make the voting far more fair. Anyone who thinks I should do this, please respond. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 00:14, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Personally I was abstaining from voting since I'd not heard the song... the clip'd help infinitely, methinks. Do it, please. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 00:25, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary.

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!".

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

*'''Accept.''' I don't know if a reference is neccesarily needed here. It's common knowledge to anyone who's ever used a microphone that it has to be positioned in the right spot to avoid hissing of '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds, as well as popping of '''T''' sounds. --[[User:El Zilcho|El Zilcho]]

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

*'''Comment.''' Part of a fun fact was removed due of another vote, and I've decided to STUFF the remaining part (because, at the very least, it's not clear WHY this is a reference). --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 11:09, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Lappy Startup Screen ====
The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' This is already noted in the Fun Facts page of the toon. -- [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
*'''Rewrite.''' If it's already noted, this version isn't quite accurate. The Mac startup sound is coded into the hardware, and has been for quite a while. The sound and icon, however, are part of the Mac OS. If you have a Mac, try starting it up using Linux - the sound is the same, but the screen is different. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]]

The way Strong Bad is describing Lappy could be a nod to the game show ''The Price Is Right''.

==== Just me being picky ====
The keyboard on the lappy is placed so high on the (toon)screen, that there is no way Strong Bad could have typed on it without it showing in the toon. (Needs rewording. Badly.)

*'''Accept.''' --[[User:J to the sag|J to the sag]]

*'''Comment.''' The possibilities for ambiguity with this voting system are just endless, aren't they? Since it wouldn't seem fair for me to cast the deciding vote and then immediately end this, I'm going to wait for someone else to do that (if I were voting, I'd just make it more confusing and say decline; I don't understand what this guy is saying at all). --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 11:21, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Weak decline.''' This isn't really very significant. But if the majority vote for it to be put on [[Lappy 486]], I'll concede. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Accept and Move.''' This isn't exclusive to animal. Maybe put it on the lappy page as you said? - [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)
*'''Declare Null and Void.''' This fact is already stated on the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] page. --[[User:pianoplayerontheroof|Pianoplayerontheroof]]
*'''Decline'''-- Your taking a cartoon too seriously. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
**There would be no STUFF if not for that. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

*'''Neutral''' Figured I'd add it here first for approval, because I could be wrong, but I believe this is the first time it's happened. Might need a rewrite too. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 05:50, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== Pi ====
The issue number of the Teen Girl Squad is the first nine digits of Pi ("3.14159265 and the rest"). Pi is an [[Wikipedia:irrational number|irrational number]], so "the rest" would fill up an infinite number of pages.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

*'''Weak Accept.'''

*'''Accept''' TBC could have just as easily said "etc." or "and so on", but "and the rest" is a quaint way of putting it. I immediately thought of 'Giligan's Island' at the time, and don't believe it's a coincidence. --[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====
ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
The e-mail is from Dan, although Homestar refers to him as Jerome.

**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]
*My bad, it wasn't in the transcript after all. I'm an idiot. I change my vote to '''Accept''' and will probably move the fun fact back to the page unless there's a better "Decline" argument. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:04, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person.

Kamek: /* Forward Referencing #2 */ vote to decline

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth.

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader).

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.

*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is.

In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software.

***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!".

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]
* '''Accept'''. Homestar likes using two-syllable exclamations. A perfectly okay fun fact. Who STUFFed this anyways??!? --[[User:kerrek_slaya|Kerrek Slaya!]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot", sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness". --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:47, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

*'''Neutral''' Figured I'd add it here first for approval, because I could be wrong, but I believe this is the first time it's happened. Might need a rewrite too. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 05:50, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====

**'''Second.''' [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]] -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 13:42, 7 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person.

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 19:03:10 GMT

Kamek: /* Forward referencing # 1 */ vote to modify and accept

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth.

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]

*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song.

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary.

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

*Homestar says that he accidentally set his alarm for 10 PM instead of AM, but it is unclear how his clock can show the difference between AM and PM in the first place. There is no indicator!

The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].

==== Alms for the poor ====

==== Wizard of Oz ====

Homsar "ringing" the paintbrush may be a reference to the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz sync. One of the syncs is a paintbrush being moved up and down, and a bell ringing.

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Homestar always confuses have and has ====
Homestar saying "Still has what it takes" is a reference to the email "army"

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====

* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot", sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness". --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:47, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website.

==== Dan VS. Jerome ====

*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

==== Biscuit Dough Hands Man ====
This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person.

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

== Toons and E-mails ==

===[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]===

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth.

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]

*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)

*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary.

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:39, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Wizard of Oz ====

Homsar "ringing" the paintbrush may be a reference to the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz sync. One of the syncs is a paintbrush being moved up and down, and a bell ringing.

*'''Decline''' Well EXCUSE ME. [[user:Xycho|Xycho]]
*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story. He could have fallen into the basement for all we know. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:15, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Coach Z's disconnected reciever ====

* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot", sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness". --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:47, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

==== Edgar's anachronism ====
Edgar the Virus Hunter was written a year before the first computer virus was written. In 1983, US student Fred Cohen created the first documented virus as an experiment in computer security at the University of Southern California.

Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

*'''Decline''' -- I was thinking the refrence is more to "the rest" of pi. -- [[User:Kilana|Kilana]]
*'''Weak Accept.''' This is probably true, however in the middle of the series, they changed the lyric "and the rest" to "the professer and Marianne" considering that the only two people left were just as important as the others, and two people hardly constitutes as "the rest." Back to topic: this is a very likely reference to that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 20:09, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' TBC could have just as easily said "etc." or "and so on", but "and the rest" is a quaint way of putting it. I immediately thought of 'Giligan's Island' at the time, and don't believe it's a coincidence. --[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily. Considering Coach Z's recognition of him (although Zee's a little bit short in the sanity department,) he could actually be a real person.

Kamek: /* DVD Contents */ Baleeted scenes

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

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

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

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

'''Commentary''': Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homestar Runner talk about the movie as its being played. Hilarity ensues.

'''Deleted Scenes''': Coach Z and Homestar Runner in the shower room, Strong Mad telling Marzipan about the Yello Dello], and a pixelated challenge which is a parody of the ATARI 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming].

== Old Version Transcript ==

''{Homestar, Coach Z, and Pom-Pom are on a football field. Pom-Pom is seen kicking a basketball around in the background whilst Homestar kicks a can, depressed}''

'''CAPTION''': "One day after sports, Coach Z noticed Homestar Runner looking troubled"

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

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

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

''{Cut to the locker room}''

'''COACH Z:''' So, tell me what's the matter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I has the solution! The Yello-Dello!
''{Scene changes to the Yello-Dello on the "Discover Network." An Australian host describes the bird}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Homestar swings over the alligators}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{happily}'' My very own Yello Dello!

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

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

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

'''ALL:''' Happy Birthday!

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

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

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

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

''{Scene showing Homestar at the top of a mountain with a rare flower wearing lederhosen}'' That way she knows how much she means to yah's!

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

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

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And so he thought... and thought... and thought... and thought... and thought... until finally...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I has the solution! The Yello Dello!
{''Scene changes to the Yello Dello on the "Discover Network." An australian host describes the bird''}

'''HOST:''' ''{voiceover}'' Found only in north-eastern Potamia, the Yello Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon.

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

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

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

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

{''Strong Sad raises his hand''}

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have a question-

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

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

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And so they traveled many miles...

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

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Encountered many dangers...

{''Homestar swings over the alligators''}

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Until at last they reached their destination...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' NOTHING!

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Sad appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DELLO!

''{Pom Pom appears}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' I ha-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Homestar laughs}''

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

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

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

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

''{Homestar starts laughing}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? Wahahaha! Oh man, that's so great! And now he's bleeding! Ho ho ho, like some stupid bleeding baby.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut to theatrical credits.}''

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

'''CAPTION:''' A Homestar Runner Cartoon - In Search of the Yello-Dello

Marzipan Coach Z and Strong Bad 
Voices by Missy Palmer and Matt Chapman 
Written, Animated, and Produced by 
The Brothers Chaps

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

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

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

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' What?

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

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

== Fun Facts ==

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

*Since Marshmallow's Last Stand, and probably The King of Town, were created before this toon (and had graphics that were more consistent with themselves and other early 'toons), it's likely that the inconsistent art style was probably (for one reason or another) intentional. After all, Homestar's design changes completely from shot to shot, which is a lot more difficult than just re-using a single bad drawing.

*The outlines in the new version are coloured light gray.

*This movie contains the only instance of nudity (when the green man in Coach Z's shower drops his towel) on the entire website, besides censored versions of a naked Homestar.

*When Coach Z talks to Homestar Runner about not just getting Marzipan a flower, but getting a special flower, Homestar's star bears a resemblance to a pentagram.

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

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

*If you go to the third deleted scene, the one where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role, you can see that Strong Mad has a Black Flag tattoo on his right arm. Also, he has a shirt with some kind of decal on it.

*Mello Yello (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by Coca-Cola similar to Mountain Dew.

*This cartoon was the first, and one of the only, times that blood has appeared in a Homestar Runner cartoon. But it's inferrable that the blood wasn't even real because the characters imply that the whole cartoon was just acted out.

*The menu theme is the same from Pitfall 2.

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

*This is the only time that Strong Bad is wearing something on his hands. (Evidence indicates that Strong Bad's gloves are his actual hands... of course it's not as if Strong Bad isn't known to lie. I think we all can see through that one.)

* H2-OH! is a bottled water brand.

* The flower that Marzipan is watering is made in the likeness of the flower given by Homestar in Coach Z's 'bad gift' scenario.

* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to The Three Stooges' quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"

*In the Locker Room Homestar's hat is floating a little bit above his head, in the old version AND the new version. This was probably unnoticed when they HAD noticed Homestar was above the bench or something.

*The title of this cartoon may be a reference to the song "Mellow Yellow" by Donovan.

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

HRWiki:Old STUFF

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 18:54:40 GMT

Kamek: /* Soulbait */ vote to decline

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?
: Or SB's overactive imagination. After all, giant brain machines, suns becoming buzzsaws, and man-eating drums are the norm in TGS... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:45, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***Correction: it USED to say she bears a striking resemblance. Somebody decided to remove that text that I added. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:13, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' I must agree. Actually, I added the "unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson" after the fact was added, mostly for that very reason. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:35, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
*'''Accept''' You can absolutely tell that that is the ping from Echoes. It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]

**'''second''' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)
***Okay, now that someone else notices it, I'm not so sure if I'm still declining it...edit: now that two people notice it, i'm definetely not. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here.

==== Mormon Missionary ====
E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are not allowed to use the Internet during that time.

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story.

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast.

Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly.

**'''Comment.''' I agree, but of course I ''would'' as well. There are 5 votes to decline, 6 votes to rewrite, and 3 to accept. Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

Back to topic: this is a very likely reference to that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 20:09, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily.

Kamek — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 18:52:59 GMT

Kamek: /* Math again */ Vote to decline

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently.

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***Correction: it USED to say she bears a striking resemblance. Somebody decided to remove that text that I added. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:13, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' I must agree. Actually, I added the "unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson" after the fact was added, mostly for that very reason. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:35, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
*'''Accept''' You can absolutely tell that that is the ping from Echoes. It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]

**'''second''' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)
***Okay, now that someone else notices it, I'm not so sure if I'm still declining it...edit: now that two people notice it, i'm definetely not. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here.

==== Mormon Missionary ====
E. Fullmer's first initial could possibly really stand for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a Mormon missionary. This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website for two years, as that is how long Mormon missionaries serve, and they are not allowed to use the Internet during that time.

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story.

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]

For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast.

Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly.

**'''Comment.''' I agree, but of course I ''would'' as well. There are 5 votes to decline, 6 votes to rewrite, and 3 to accept. Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

Back to topic: this is a very likely reference to that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 20:09, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]
**'''Second.''' I didn't notice that the first time I saw it. --[[User:Chiphead|Chiphead]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily.

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Pikachu is a Pokémon, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is really long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.

== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently.

==== The Hot-b-sey Twins ====
It appears Strong Bad has confused the Bobsey Twins with the Sweet Valley Twins. The Bobsey Twins were boy-girl twins who solved mysteries Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys style. The Sweet Valley Twins were identical twin girls whose "adventures" read like a typical teen dramedy. The latter would be more likely considered "hot", especially given the respective cover art of each series.

* '''Revise.''' A little too wordy. Cut off everything after "whose adventures" and merge the last two sentences to read: "The Bobsey Twins were mystery solving boy-girl twins whereas the Sweet Valley Twins were typical teenaged identical twin girls. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* '''Revise.''' The thought had crossed my mind, as well, though I'm hesitant on putting mere speculation of what we ''think'' he meant in the article. It should be noted, though, that the Bobsey Twins aren't that hot. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
* Perhaps the Sweet Valley Twins info should just be left out if its in question what TBC were referring to. It is clear though that Strong Bad got his Twins mixed (whether TBC did it on purpose is up for debate) so I still say the meat of this fact is good. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

===[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] / [[comic]]===
====VOIP====
I'm pretty sure that the reason why TBC selected "VOIP" as the sound that the Visor Robot makes when zapping So-and-so's head, is because [[Wikipedia:Voice_over_IP|VoIP]] is an up-and-coming technology, that investors are throwing scads of money at, and is getting more press than it deserves from technology reporters.
*'''Decline.''' Supreme stretch. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
** How is it a stretch? It is an exact match with the acronym. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many other "sound effects" in the Teen Girls Squad series. -- 70.19.78.90
*** Just because it's an exact match does not mean that the Bros. Chaps did it on purpose. And to say that there are few other "sound effects" in TGS is laughable. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:43, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)
**** I only count about 10 "sound effects" that are transcribed on the screen. Half of them are actual English words (sometimes with the 'D appended). The other half are the goblinspeak, JGHOWMP, AGGH-GRAGH, and SHOMP. Did I miss any? -- 70.19.78.90
*'''Severe Decline''' Maybe they used VOIP as the sound because, you know, it sounds right. And when comic was made, I think Voice over IP wasn't at the current level of popularity it is today. (Realize, comic is from at least a couple years ago). In conclusion, I'm in awe at how this fact ever came about. Also, I'm amazed I'm actually voting on this page again, but you know. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:20, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Phantom Drummer?====
At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's Bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.

*'''Decline.''' Presumably The Ugly One is playing it offstage. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

====Guitar -> Shark====
The only possible interpretation of the guitar turning into a shark is that a bass (guitar) is being confused with a bass (fish)? Which would be the only reason to say "seaworthy"? Unfortunately there are no references on the Internet to "seaworthy bass". Am I missing some other joke here?
: Or SB's overactive imagination. After all, giant brain machines, suns becoming buzzsaws, and man-eating drums are the norm in TGS... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 22:45, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Fender Guitars====
During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

*'''Rewrite.''' The [[Wikipedia:Machine_head|machine heads]] (tuning keys) on Cheerleader's guitar definitely suggest Fender, but Fender never made guitars with bodies in the Flying V shape -- that shape suggests Gibson (or possibly Epiphone, who make the first good knockoff). It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license. What's her face's guitar (which is, interestingly, left-handed) is much more likely to be a Fender. -- [[User:70.19.78.90|70.19.78.90]]

====College Radio====
What's Her Face being labelled as "College Radio" is probably a reference to radio.

*'''Decline.''' Just because a concept is mentioned more than once doesn't mean the later instance is a reference to the earlier one. What's Her face is not a "bewildered freshman," or anything mentioned in the radio email
** Please sign your votes or they will not be counted. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Rewrite.''' All of the girls' descriptions were some how related to a radio in some way. So it can be inferred that they were a reference to the e-mail. What's Her Face is not a "bewildered freshman," but merely college radio is the station she'd listen to. This is true because of The Ugly One's description of "listens to pine bark." --[[User:BegyLips|Begylips]]
*'''Decline''' for reasons stated by BegyLips. This isn't necessarily a reference to the radio e-mail, just showing the girls' musical tastes. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:51, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

====You Big Mouth!====
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth, unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson.

*'''Decline.''' I'm the one who put this one on here. On [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]] character page, it clearly says that he ''is'' Mrs. So-and-so-erson. --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**But on the [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] page, it clearly says that she bears a striking resemblance to the Man with a Huge Mouth. And their synonymity is currenrly being disputed on both [[Talk:Mrs. So-and-so-erson]] and [[Talk:The Man with the Huge Mouth]]. I vote we abstain from voting until a consensus is reached. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***Correction: it USED to say she bears a striking resemblance. Somebody decided to remove that text that I added. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 14:13, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
****Well, it seems pretty presumptuous to me. I'm going to change the page to NPOV until we agree over whether they're the same. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 09:49, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' I must agree. Actually, I added the "unless you count Mrs. So-and-so-erson" after the fact was added, mostly for that very reason. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:35, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

====Math again====
"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

**'''Second.''' [[User:Ian|Ian]] 20:37, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Soulbait ====
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

**'''Second.''' But if this one gets removed, we're going to seriously have to take a look at some of the other Real life references that DID make the list (like the Saved by the Bell and Nickelodeon ones) that have even less to go on. - [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**If you think other facts should be removed, Donny, then put them on this page. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 12:19, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

**'''Accept''' Makes sense to me--[[User:205.174.123.14|205.174.123.14]] 14:33, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== CGNU ====
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]

===[[dreamail]]===

==== C. elegans ====

The name "Chester Elegante" abbreviated "C. Elegante" might be a reference to the organism [[Wikipedia:C._elegans|"C. elegans"]].

* '''Neutral (for now)''' - I removed this since it screams of a BIG stretch, but there is SOME connection... I dunno, what do you all think? --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:04, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Weak Decline.''' Only because he never ''actually'' signs the email "C. Elegante," he signs it as "Chester Elegante." There might be some similarity, but it is a huge stretch to say TBC actaully planned that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 06:39, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' BIG stretch. If TBC planned that, Strong Bad would have signed his email as "C. Elegante" instead of "Chester Elegante". [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 11:43, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Ping ====

The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
*'''Accept''' You can absolutely tell that that is the ping from Echoes. It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:54, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''second''' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)
***Okay, now that someone else notices it, I'm not so sure if I'm still declining it...edit: now that two people notice it, i'm definetely not. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.

**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ===

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm ===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
*'''Decline.''' Hmmm... TBC don't really pay attention to scale (see the DVD commentary for [[flag day]] and [[new hands]]), so I don't think this method of figuring real-life measures of length are relevant. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' There's a way to find out for sure how far off the screen it went. Save the Flash file to your computer. now squish the window verticly then stretch it out so you can see it in sort of a WIDESCRRRRREEEEEEEEN version to see what you don't on the webpage.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --[[User:24.21.86.243|24.21.86.243]] 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

*'''Accept''' This is interesting because it is here that it's ''revealed'' that Homestar's room is near a flight of stairs. Also, it's not as obvious as you might think. For one, his falling down the stairs happens quickly and off camera, so you might miss it or think that he's fallen down his front steps. Then there's the fact that we've never seen an exterior shot of this version of Homestar's house, so it's mere speculation that there even ''is'' a second story.

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!". (unsigned)

* '''Decline''' I'm the one who moved it here. I hear a connection, but not enough to think that it was intended as a running gag by the Brothers Chaps. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 08:09, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

====The fish was delish and it made quite a dish====
Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot", sounding like intense hisses, the mike can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness". --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:47, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

==== check out all my dimensions ====
Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[stunt double]], "Check out all my dimensions."

==== Weird laptop ====
After some measuring, I figured that the Lappy 486 has the aspect ratio of 1.67:1. A normal display would have the aspect ratio of 1.3:1 and a widescreen display has the aspect ratio of 1.85:1. So the Lappy must have a resolution of around 400x240. More or less. Was there such a display back then? (Yeah, I know this is suppose to be on the Lappy page, but I want to confirm this information and I didn't want to put it there until I made sure.)

*'''Decline''' because: a) The [[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112174|Mac Portable]] (1989) had a screen resolution of 640x400. That's a 1.6:1 ratio which is pretty close to Lappy's. b) Compy's screen ratio is pretty much 1.5:1. Isn't that a little off from normal desktop monitors? I think even "back then" they should have been close to 1.33:1. We're not making a big deal about Compy's aspect ratio being off, so I wouldn't make one over Lappy's either. --[[User:ryandesign|ryandesign]] 04:29, 23 Dec 2004 (CET)

**There would be no STUFF if not for that. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

==== Off-screen typing ====
Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

==== Baby Doll Crazy Dance ====

When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

==== 3D Bubs legs ====
When Bubs walks across the screen with Homestar's leg, his lower half is done in two layers of red and blue. Watching this scene with red and blue 3D glasses makes Bubs vaguely 3D. This is most likely a reference to "[[stunt double]]", in which Dangeresque 3 was supposed to be in 3D.

**'''Comment.''' I agree, but of course I ''would'' as well. There are 5 votes to decline, 6 votes to rewrite, and 3 to accept. Rewrite doesn't actually have a majority, and I'd like to avoid setting a precedent of going by a simple majority. By the system I proposed on the talk page, we would try first to accept without changes (3 votes for accept as is, 11 votes not to), and then try to accept with the most popular revision (9 votes for, 5 against). So I'm just going to add this to the page and, uh, leave the discussion here for now. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 14:13, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

==== Gilligan's Island? ====
The "And the rest" may be a reference to the first Gilligan's Island theme song, where the chorus sang some of the main character's name but then just sang "and the rest" instead of the other's names.

Back to topic: this is a very likely reference to that. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 20:09, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' TBC could have just as easily said "etc." or "and so on", but "and the rest" is a quaint way of putting it. I immediately thought of 'Giligan's Island' at the time, and don't believe it's a coincidence. --[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

==== Strong Sad's blog ====
When Strong Sad walks up and ask Strong Bad about a virus, his pixilated face is probably a referance to Strong Sad's blog (A.K.A. Strong Sad's Lament) from the e-mail website. On each post it shows his mood, and they are the same one that Strong SAd has hovering, they are probably pixiated because it enlarged the image's from the blog.

*'''Accept.''' Maybe this is because he was called "Strong Bad." -- [[User:edsmilde|ED!smilde]] 16:38, 9 Dec 2004
*'''Very Much Accept''' It is NOT in the transcript. All that is in the transcript is a literal transcription of what Homestar says. If you're not paying attention and forgot who sent the e-mail - which I did my first time through the e-mail - it's very easy to miss. This being in the transcript would go something like: '''Homestar''': Except you, Jerome ''{even though the e-mail's writer was Dan}''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:50, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
**The fun facts section is not there to explain obvious jokes. The transcript notes that Homestar calls him Jerome, and also contains the email text which is signed "Dan". Therefore, it's noted in the transcript. We might as well put on [[monster truck]], "Strong Bad calls the emailers Dan and Linda even though their names are Stan and Loretta." Or, on [[date]], "Strong Bad calls the emailer Boston even though this was the location of the emailer, and not the name." Not worthwhile. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
***What "obvious"? Like I said, it was easy to miss. I missed it myself until I'd seen the e-mail a few times; what's to say other people didn't? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 09:26, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)
***I caught this the first time, but there is NO comparison to previous e-mails. In "date," the joke is obvious because Boston is the name of a big city. And in Monster Truck, it's obvious because "Dan and Linda" is said almost immediately after "Stan and Loretta," and Strong Bad uses clear enunciation each time. In this case, Homestar quickly reads Dan's name, and then goes on an extended aside with the FL joke before saying "Jerome." Hence not obvious to all. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
****No comparison? How about [[old comics]], where he says Jack instead of Zack? In any case, it's not that long after Homestar reads the name that he says Jerome. It's a joke, and jokes don't belong in fun facts (otherwise the page would become very, very long). --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*****Old comics is a better comparison, but SB speaks slowly & clearly, making it more obvious. --[[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
******I don't think so. In fact, since "Zack" and "Jack" are much more similar than "Dan" and "Jerome", the old comics incident is actually less obvious. So, while I still maintain that both deliberately noting it in the transcript and putting it in Fun Facts is awkward and not needed, if we do, then we should at least do the same on [[old comics]]. --[[User:Upsilon|[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]]]

*'''Move to Transcript''' ala Jay's example above. People will probably catch this after watching it a few times. Things that need clarification but aren't sly allusions should go in the transcript.

This is sort of an add-on to a Fun Fact already mentioned on the page, but...

After Strong Bad interviews himself during this edition of the Strong Bad Interview-Type Progrum, the mention of next episode's interview with Biscuit Dough Hands Man holds a hidden joke, seeing that Biscuit Dough Hands Man is, in fact, Strong Bad (or at least, Bubs' artistic impression of him). So once again, Strong Bad will be interviewing "himself."

*'''Very Weak Decline.''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man isn't Strong Bad, neccessarily.
