[[Image:Easter egg toon.png|thumb|Not ''those'' kinds of Easter eggs!]]
An '''[[Wikipedia:Easter egg (media)|Easter egg]] ''' of a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] cartoon is a feature that is hidden in some way. Often, it is only accessible by clicking on a hidden button, a keypress or by waiting a while after the toon is seemingly over.

Most of the recent Homestar Runner Flash animations feature Easter eggs. These are most prominent in [[Strong Bad Email]]s, but are also placed in other cartoons on the site. Most are activated by clicking a specific area of the animation.

Occasionally, Easter eggs are hidden in a way that cannot be revealed directly, and can only be seen if the Flash file is opened in a [[Wikipedia:decompiler|decompiler]]. At [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|Georgia Tech]], [[Matt Chapman]] explained that these were added because the normal Easter eggs were getting too easy to find.

== Finding Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:process easter eggs.PNG|thumb|"Next, as I'm typing, you can usually click on certain words and make little pictures of dumb stuff pop up."]]
The majority of Easter eggs are activated by clicking a certain area of the cartoon. The easiest way to find these is by following a few simple steps:
*Click on the Flash animation so keypresses are accepted.
*Press the "Tab" key on your keyboard to cycle through all click zones.
*When a border surrounds a part of the animation, it is probably a hot spot for a Easter egg. Either press the "Enter" (or "Return") key or click on the spot to activate the Easter egg.

In addition to clickable Easter eggs, there are a small number of Easter eggs found by pressing a key or digging through a decompiled Flash file.

Note that some Easter eggs do not do anything immediately. For example, in almost all the [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)|Halloween cartoons]], [[Homsar]] appears in a later scene if an Easter egg is clicked (usually near [[The Poopsmith]]).

==Keypress Easter Eggs==
Occasionally, Easter eggs are activated by a specific keypress.

==== [[50K Racewalker]] ====
*There is a "big head mode", similar to that found in many video games, especially first-person shooters and sports games. To toggle between "big head" and normal press the '''h''' key on the "Choose it out" screen.

Talk:rock opera

MeowMeow — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 19:51:09 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Hyperlinking each word? */

{{featuredarticle}}

== Initial Reaction ==

A fantastic e-mail, very much like "personal favorities", but with real stuff in it. Nice to see clips of all 124 e-mails being combined together to make up "SBEMAIL: The Musical". Good job. Hope we see another storyline like this in the next three and a half years (or so). - 82.37.217.206

P.S. The e-mail also reminded me of "virus".

The best email yet. -[[User:sesameseed|sesameseed]] 16:46, 22 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Music ==

The music that begins after "Experience dance tonight!" bears a resemblance to that of "The Cheat Is Not Dead", does anyone agree? -[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]
:Yes, but not enough so as to make it worth mentioning in the Fun Facts, sadly... --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 18:40, 22 Feb 2005 (MST)
I figured such, just trying to make sure I'm not hearing it incorrectly. On a similar note, does anyone agree that the music that begins during "Awkward peaches" sounds like the intro to [[Everybody to the Limit]]? It seems that TBC are making not only visual references but distinct musical ones, as well...-[[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]]
:Especially since the Strong Bad saying "problematic" comes up during this time, as when he says it on the Strong Bad Sings version of [[Everybody to the Limit]]. - [[User:Kenzilla|Kenzilla]]
I think it's similar/interesting/cool enough to be a fun fact-- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]
:I think the bass part after experience dance tonight sounds like pachabel's canon.

== Download? ==

Was there ever a download available for the song itself, similar to "[[different town]]"? --[[User:SigmaX54|SigmaX54]] 02:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
:Nope. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 02:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
::You took the words right outta my mouth HSR. (Literally, there was an edit conflict). Anyway, no, there never was. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
== Speedy Gonzalez ==

Are you all sure that Speedy Gonzalez says his Arribas then his Andales? I'm fairly sure Strong Bad's got it right...

Yes I am a big Loony Tunes fan and I watch the cartoons all the time. Also doing a google search on speedy Arriba! will also prove my point. Now who's changed it back? I've more than proved my point?

== "Grand" ==

I'm pretty sure that the voice that says "grand." is Powered-By-The-Cheat Homestar. --[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]] 12:38, 24 Feb 2005 (CST)
: I'm pretty sure you're wrong, because that word is from [[mile]] and the ONLY time "grand" is spoken by anyone in mile, it's PbTC Strong Bad. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 11:59, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)
::But then again, that comment was understandable since the Powered by the Cheat voices all sound very similar. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:12, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)
::: This is true. Maybe I was a little more blunt than I meant to be - I do that sometimes. But it can be proved that it was Strong Bad, so we shouldn't put Homestar. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 12:17, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)
::::I think they should put that in the goofs section. [[User:unknown|unknown]]
::::: Why? I compared the two lines (between rock opera and mile) and it IS PbtC Strong Bad. That's all there is to it. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:38, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Image Gallery ==

There should be info on all the scenes that are shown. --[[User:Aussie Evil|Aussie Evil]] 16:16, 3 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think there should be an image gallery which shows the images that go along with the lyrics. [[User:unknown|unknown]]

:Oooh, ooh, that sounds like fun! *wants to go make images* :) (These would go on the Rock Opera Context page, though, not this page)[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 12:14, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)

== The pond ==

Is the pond that Dangeresque falls into the same [[The Pond|pond]] from [[lures & jigs]] and [[montage]]?

== Anonymous ==

Hey! I had an thought. A dumb one, albeit, but an thought, nevertheless. Could Strong Sad representing "Annoymous" be a reference for "Strong Bad is Jail"? He DID "annoynymously quip"...[[User:Ekul|The Marauding Maniac]] 18:35, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

== Closed STUFF ==

These fun facts were on STUFF and closed. If you would like to debate these facts, please make sure your votes are seperated from the original ones.

===Error? (DECLINED)===

On the newspaper clippin' of (Perhaps) The Deke's rave review, the word "of" is double-underlined, apparently by hand. Strong Bad appears to have noted that the word was not capitalized, and duly marked the error.

*'''Decline.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Not only is it speculation, but it's factually inaccurate - prepositions should NEVER be capitalized in titles and slogans unless they are the first word (I've heard that you're always supposed to capitalize final words too, but I can't think of a case where an article, preposition, or conjunction - the three types of words left non-capitalized - would ever come up there.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' Once again pontless and useless. [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]
*'''Decline''' --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
===Angled? (DECLINED)===
The frozen pond that Dangeresque falls into in the Easter Egg may be the same pond from lures & jigs from another angle.

*'''So I'm gonna hafta DECLI- Meh!''' Come on fun fact, get off the page. Fact, fact! Whoa, I caught a BIG fact!! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 03:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Today is all right for decline!''' I'm really reaching with these now, aren't I? --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 05:22, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Diggity...diggity...DECLINE.''' There's no proof here. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 05:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Secondaded'''. What's the use anywho? [[User:James Craven|James Craven]] 3:17 AM EDT June 6 2005.
*'''Decline.''' Just delete bad fun facts. There's no need to STUFF them. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
* MY MOTHER SAYS IM SPECAIL!!!...I mean '''DECLINE'''[[User:Pac-man|Pac-man]] 00:35, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Gosh, you mean they re-use different areas from Free Country USA?! '''Decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline that crap.''' Flash cartoons don't have angles. They are two-dimensional. -- [[User:aaronak|aaronak]] 11:34, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' There are too many "may be" reference-wannabes on this page. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:18, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Though this Fun Fact should have been directly deleted, shouldn't people also be polite? [[User:Svelt|Svelt]]
=== Pizza Pizzazz (Declined)===
The appearance of a spinning pizza during the word "Pizzaz" may be a reference to the Pizzaz Pizza Oven, which rotates the pizza under a heating element to cook it.
*'''Decline.''' I don't think that they were purposefully referencing the Pizzaz Pizza oven. The two words are just spelled similarly. (Also, there was a restaurant where I live called "Pizza Pizzazz," but you don't see me putting that down as a fun fact) :-) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 10:02, 27 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Strong decline.''' I don't think that this this really is a "fun fact." It's barely a fact. It's incidental at best. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 09:50, 28 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''SUPER DECLINE'''. Why it was a fun fact probably has to with some people make stuff y'know, with words from bigger words. --[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 13:19, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Or, it could be... '''Pizza'''z, which I think is pretty obvious. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 08:47, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
=== Rose-face/Rosebud (Declined)===
When Strong Bad yells "Rose face!" it could be a possible reference to ''[[IMDb:tt0033467|Citizen Kane]]'' and the famous "Rosebud."
* '''Weak Decline.''' Felt this was a bit of a stretch, though I did wonder if it was a reference myself. Still, "Rosebud" is the last dying whisper of Citizen Kane, while Rose-face is anything BUT whispered. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 16:50, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Too much of a stretch, IMO. --[[User:Zonath|Zonath]] 09:14, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Strong Decline''' Just because two words sound the same does not mean they are connected. He doesn't even say it in the way that rosebud is used in Citizen Kane. --[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]]
*'''Decline.''' Not even close. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 09:33, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Sender's parents (Declined)===
Second time Strong Bad talked about both the sender's parents. This was last done in [[animal]] about Spud Jr.
* '''Decline.''' Didn't consider this a "fun" fact at all... --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 16:50, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second'''. It was well observed, but as a 'second incidence' it isn't much fun. --[[User:Eujensc|Eujensc]] 13:37, 3 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Computer over. Virus = Very Second.''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 04:54, 10 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Decline.''' Any fun fact that states "This is the n-th time that ... " should be deleted outright. Well ... assuming n is not 1, of course. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 09:31, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Definitely Maybe? Yes? No! (Declined)===
"Definitely baby" (The line ended by Vector Strong Bad) is a reference to the album Definitely Maybe by Oasis
*'''Severe decline.''' Just because something sounds like something else doesn't make it a reference. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 18:41, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Severe Second''' --[[User:67.177.52.133|67.177.52.133]] 17:28, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Ticked-off Third''' -- I just think it's stupid. That's all.
*'''ULTIMATE DECLINE'''. It was just three words toghether from three different emails. Why was ths STUFF'D? --[[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]] 13:16, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''a-digga-diggga-digga-DELETE!''' This is stupid. It's not why was this STUFF'd- why was it even put on the board in the first place. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 12:53, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Definitely Decline.''' -[[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 30 Mar 2005
*I choose you, '''Declinachu!''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 14:05, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Seriously. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:15, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline''' Seriously, seriously. -Walking Armless

=== Another brick in the wall (Declined)===
At the end of the opera, the cast is on a stage, where the bottom of the stage is a white bricked wall with blue brick outlines. This might be a refrence to the popular rock opera The Wall, by Pink Floyd, as the wall in the Floyd's opera is the same. [[User:MajorB|MajorB]] 17:07, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

*'''Decline.''' Good thinking, but this is definitely not a reference. This isn't the first time this stage has been shown (See [[A Decemberween Pageant]]) →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 16:29, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)
**I just watched ADP, and the part of the stage in question is not visible. Perhaps I should look in the email where the stage appears (I don't remember the name right now). [[User:MajorB|MajorB]] 17:07, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)
***In the very first scene after marzipan says "Homestar, I don't think those are your lines." That's when they show the whole stage.
**** Hmmm...how did I miss that? [[User:24.58.44.43|24.58.44.43]] 19:05, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

{{stufffact|Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]] translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a [[Wikipedia:double negative|double negative]] meaning "continue throwing roses at me."}}

== Table-In-Transcript ==

I'm not really sure if I like this table in the transcript. It makes it very hard to read and looks a little oogly. Maybe we could stick the actions on another page, like [[Rock Opera Context]]? →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
:Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, although I think the information is good. A separate page would probably be best. I'll work on it. -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 16:05, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Visuals and Word Context ==

Why don't we combine the [[Rock Opera Context]] and [[Rock Opera Visuals]] pages and add pictures for each visual that occurs and then a picture of where it was said in the email that it came from? [[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]
:I think it's fine the way it is. And we don't want 125 pictures. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 11:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
For you people who don't think the words are in order, use a benchmark of a certain word you know and count the words from it. Then watch the email in the same number in the same direction. you'll find it. Poofy

== I might sound crazy, ==

but does anyone think the sentences that Strong Bad made up could have a deeper meaning? I mean, they're just words from every email, but you could never know... -Kinsey

== Goof fixed? ==

I have listened to rock opera more than I probably should and I have noticed that the goof that occurs when you listen to the song through the "Encore!" button isn't there anymore. Am I just imagining this or is it really fixed? -- [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 12:45, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, I'm listening on a Wii and I still hear it. So, as far as I'm concerned, '''goof not fixed'''. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== Cast list ==

<s>Should I add [[Tiny-Handed Strong Bad]] in the cast list? He's a formal character now. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 12:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, what do you think, guys? [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 15:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
*Hmm... I suppose I shouldn't add him to the cast list. He is a formal character now, but he wasn't when this email came out. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 22:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)</s>

== Crackin' not a goof? ==

The use of the word crackin' is listed under goofs, with the comment that maybe it was recorded but didn't make the final cut. However, after listening to [[fingers]] closely, I think it IS in there, but Strong Bad's voice is almost completely overpowered by the narrator's voice-over. I don't think this should be listed under goofs, but should be listed under remarks with the explanation like the one I just gave. Any thoughts? --[[User:Eepiccolo|eepiccolo]] 19:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
:Thanks for bringing this up. I fully believe that it was recorded but the audio of that sound layer was turned down until the narrator stopped talking. I will reword it and move it. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

== Chekt ==

There is a reference to Chekt, but I doubt it's one of the first 125 sbemails. --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 20:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
:Do you mean, another reference to Chekt? {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} That's in sbemail #124 [[secret recipes]].
::Actually, I believe it's mentioned in Fun Facts, under Inside References. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 21:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

== Pig Latin ==

Regarding [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=rock_opera&diff=prev&oldid=479023 this] and the next few edits: Strong bad ''does'' say "may". Not only can you listen to his words, but [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Wikipedia]] also shows that Pig Latin phrases do not always end in "nay" (it's the -''ay'' that they all have in common). Pig Latin words are formed by moving the first consonant in the word to the end, then adding -ay. The consonant is not always an N. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 17:56, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
:It's "nay". It's SB being incompetent as to how to speak pig latin, and copying the "nay" again from "ix'''nay'''". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
::How do we know he is incompetent in Pig Latin? In [[50 emails#Explanations|50 emails]], he says "at-may" just fine. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 18:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Well explain to me why "may" makes sense then. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I think he's trying to finish his last word ("me") in Pig Latin, but fails (wouldn't it be emay?). That's as good an explanation I can give you. Plus, I hear "may". Not "I think I hear may" or "I can just barely hear may", I hear "may". So '''may'''. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 18:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Because "me" in Pig Latin would be "e-may". Even though Strong Bad kept the M at the beginning, he still adds "may" properly. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 18:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

== Objection to Last Revision: 124 EMails Not 125 ==

I just want to point out that context SBEMAIL is the context for e-mail 125. It should also be noted that when making a collage/compilation of past to current, you can always have the current sbemail in itself; especially since "SBEMAIL!!!" is part of the song, and is number 125. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== "Unnecessary Onomatopœia" ==

I added the onomatopœia of Strong Bad singing his intro song backwards, which I interpreted as: Aah smebdeluda gemta crem nina greschdt. Then, my edit was quickly reverted by MichaelXX2. Do tell, what was bad with having the onomatopœia in there? And if we can't have it in the transcript, could it be a fun fact? Homestar Sumpreme, [[Special:Contributions/64.9.42.139|64.9.42.139]] 11:34, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

== Train wreck a-rollin' all night long? ==

Not sure if anyone noticed or suggested this, but there's a strong similarity between Strong Bad's line "Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!" and the song "Train Kept a-Rollin'", made famous by [[Wikipedia:Aerosmith|Aerosmith]] (and featured in the game [[Wikipedia:Rock Band|Rock Band]]). The song has been around for a long time and was pretty popular (as is the band), though I only became aware of the song through the game. The song's lyrics include the line "Train kept a-rollin' all night long" repeated several times, but as far as I know, there are no other common elements between the song and this email. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

It seems like a bit of a stretch without the "all night long" part, or at least some part with that sort of rhythm, because getting things a rolling is a pretty common phrase. --[[Special:Contributions/65.87.242.28|65.87.242.28]] 20:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== fun fact ==

"When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad email secret recipes." Shouldn't this be in the "fast forward" section? [[Special:Contributions/67.183.216.25|67.183.216.25]] 01:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
:No, because "Fast Forward" is used when the toon the article is about is referenced later, not when it references something in a previous toon. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:53, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

== Hyperlinking each word? ==

I think we should hyperlink each word in the opera to its respective sbemail. {{unsigned|Pac2005|00:33, 15 April 2019 (UTC)}}
:That's what the [[Rock Opera Context]] page is for. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:42, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

== Bad Idea to say it's a Bad Idea? ==
Hi, everybody everybody. MeowMeow here. I just couldn't help noticing the fact that we said that answering the other days sbemail like a robot was a bad idea. It sounds opinionated to me. Please share your opinion on this! Your friendly wiki editor, {{User:MeowMeow/sig}}

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

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

'''Date:''' Monday, July 10, 2006

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

'''Viidelectrix Page Title:''' Kid Weedy

==The Game==
[[Image:Kidspeedy intstructions.PNG|thumb|Instructions]]
To qualify for the next race, you must finish the four-man race third place or above. By collecting vegetables and happy faces, you make your character go faster (with one exception, see [[#Trivia|trivia]]). Collecting junk food or [[swears]] causes your character to lose all speed.
The player can race the chosen character on eleven different courses: Jelly Woods Fun Run, [[Cheese]] Puff Hills 2 Mile, [[Pork]]chop Wilds 5K, [[Egg]] Mountain Minithon, Probate Flats Walk-a-thon, [[Indiana]], [[Wikipedia:Chicago Loop|The Loop]], Demon's Rub Marathon, Doomed Souls Charity Trudge, Caramel Canyon Walk, and Crumble Star Sprintup (the last four tracks are only accessible if you are playing as a specific character, see trivia). Each track has borders resembling the name (example: Cheese Puff Hills has orange borders).

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

If you do not finish dead last, you "Qualify". If you lose, you get the message "YOU GOT DEAD LAST!"

==The Ending==

''{Homestar and Marzipan drive for a while in their new car. A screen showing yellow, blown-up text "the end" appears.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*While Homestar and Marzipan are driving at the end of the game, you can control the car with the left and right arrow keys.
*At the title screen, you can press "s", "k" or "h" ten times to start the game as Strong Sad, The King of Town or Homestar Runner, respectively.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Kidspeedy strong sad mode.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad mode]]
===Explanations===
*The term "Race 'em up" is based on the widely-recognized genres "Shoot 'em up" and "Beat 'em up".
*Kid Speedy is most likely a parody of "educational" computer games that often promote nutrition.

===Trivia===
*Each race starts with the message "Ready! Set! OK, now go."
*If you win the game, you unlock "Strong Sad Mode", where your character becomes Strong Sad. Beating the game as Strong Sad unlocks "KOT Mode", where you play as The King of Town. Beating the game again finally unlocks "Homestar Mode", where you play as Homestar Runner.
*When you play the last race, a group of runners will pass you and your opponents very quickly (They can be seen in the left margin of every race, running in place, if you play the Flash file). If your last race is the shortest race, Egg Mountain Minithon (#4), then these runners can finish the race in under seven seconds.
[[Image:Kid speedy box art.PNG|thumb|Kid Speedy box art]]
*Currently, the box art for Kid Speedy reads "BOX ART UNAVAILABLE!".
* The gameplay is very random: It is possible to acquire every healthy food item in the course and only them, and still lose.
*"The Loop" is the only level in the game whose preview shows a design that doesn't loop.
*On July 17, 2006, version 1.new was released, with several changes:
**Added The King of Town and Homestar Runner as unlockable characters – previously, only Strong Sad could be unlocked, and Kid Speedy would still appear at the end of each level and the end of the game.
**Added tomato and cookie items.
**Food items bob up and down on some levels now.
**The 8th level now changes depending on your character:
***Kid Speedy{{--}} Demon's Rub Marathon
***Strong Sad{{--}} Doomed Souls Charity Trudge (the map resembles Strong Sad's head)
***The King of Town{{--}} Caramel Canyon Walk-Take (the map resembles a [[ham]])
***Homestar Runner{{--}} Crumble Star Sprintup (the map resembles a star)
*Your three opponents behave like this: two of them run at a constant speed all the way to the finish line, the third changes every 3 seconds (on average - it can be anywhere from 0 to 6) to be slightly faster than you (how much faster depends on what level you're playing). When you collect a power-down item, the third opponent will always match speeds a second and a half later.
*Kid Speedy, Strong Sad, and The King of Town can achieve third or even second place, but cannot achieve first place. For Homestar Runner, however, first place is possible.
*Although the game was originally hosted on the Videlectrix site, it was also uploaded onto [[Homestarrunner.com]], though this version remained unlinked from the website until the [[post-Flash site update]].
*This game suggests that [[Marzipan's House]] is to the left of [[the brick wall]]. However, in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], it is impossible to reach Marzipan's House any other way than clicking on it from the map.

===Remarks===
*When you beat Strong Sad Mode, he is seen jumping up and down. In [[Strong Sad's Lament]], he revealed that he was unable to jump.
*If you play the game with the Flash file, you can cheat on every level by right-clicking on the game and selecting ''Play'' after the race starts. You'll hear the falling down sound effect and see the congratulations screen for a few seconds, then it will show the typical qualified screen.

===Differences between the characters===
====Strong Sad====
*There's a chance that one of your opponents will be Kid Speedy.
*Speed-up items work 50% better than they do for Kid Speedy.
*Strong Sad slows down twice as fast as Kid Speedy.
*When you collect a speed-down item, the third opponent (see [[#Trivia|trivia]]) will match speeds with you, plus a large amount (more than they usually beat you by), right before you slow down (so if you're going full speed when you hit one, they'll race ahead of you for that 1.5 seconds).

====The King of Town====
*There's a chance that Strong Sad and Kid Speedy will be among your opponents.
*The "good" and "bad" collectibles are reversed - junk food and swears speed you up and good food and smiley faces slow you down.
*He trips and falls on the qualification movie, causing the victory music to abruptly stop.

====Homestar Runner====
*Your opponents will always be Kid Speedy, Strong Sad, and The King of Town.
*Homestar's maximum running speed is 25% higher than the others.
*Speed-up items work twice as well as they do for Kid Speedy.

===Glitches===
*In Flash Player 6, Kid Speedy's slowest opponent is absent. While getting second place is extremely difficult, it's impossible to lose since he can rank no lower than third.
*If you qualify for a level, but play it again and lose, you will have to beat it again to win the game.
* No matter which race you choose in version 1.new, it will always show the image of your character's eighth race when you qualify.
**This was later fixed for the [[Viidelectrix]] version. However, qualifying for the eighth race will now always show the map of Demon's Rub Marathon, regardless of which character you are.
*Sometimes, if you are playing as the King of Town, the items will have their normal effects: the good items will help you, and the bad items will harm you.
*While watching the demo, changing to the King of Town by pressing "k" ten times before the screen displays the "Lose speed with these" parts will change the aforementioned section, paradoxically making it seem as though collecting the healthy objects will raise ''and'' decrease your speed.
**Likewise, starting the demo with the King of Town and then swapping to anyone else in the same manner as above, the screen will note that junk food and swears increase ''and'' decrease your speed.

===Fixed Glitches===
*When the game first came out, the player had to cross the center of the finish line to finish the level, while the computer players needed only touch the edge of the line. Thus it was possible to finish barely ahead of the last runner, but still lose the level. This has since been fixed.

===Inside References===
*One of the tracks is the "EGG MOUNTAIN MiNiTHON", making this another instance of [[Lowercase i's]] and [[eggs]].
*Homestar Runner's ending includes a reference to [[hybrid cars]].
*The Mini-map sprites are similar to the ones in [[Secret Collect]]. The player's mini-map sprite is [[Strong Bad]]'s and the others are "secrets".
*The narrator says "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU GOT [[NOT]] DEAD LAST!"
*Videlectrix calls the game a "hilarious arcade-style [[X 'em Up|race 'em up]]".

===Real-World References===
*The "Indiana" and "The Loop" levels are likely inspired by the the arcade racing game [[Wikipedia:Cruis'n USA|Cruis'n USA]], which features [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] and [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]] venues.
*"Wide Loading" (on the [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]]) is a reference to the "Wide Load" sign which appears on trucks carrying large items. It is also used as a slang term for "fat".
*In the Flash file of Kid Speedy, there are three other runners to the left of the screen and they seem to be wearing colors of flags. The top runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] and the middle runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]]. The lowest runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Kenya|Kenya]] (black, red, and green stripes, separated by white). These runners are later seen racing ahead to the finish line in the 8th race, as well as in the ending.
*At the ending podium, the three "winning" runners each have an animation similar to the animations made by the characters at the end of [[wikipedia:Super Mario Kart|Super Mario Kart]]. Notably, the "first place" winner's ending looks like he is clanging champagne bottles, similar to Koopa Troopa's victory animation in Mario Kart.
*When Kid Speedy trips on the finish line, he does so in the same manner and sound as does the character in the [[wikipedia:NES|NES]] version of [[wikipedia:Track & Field (arcade game)|Track & Field]].
*Kid Speedy's ending sequence is a reference to the common movie theme of competing in a race or other competition to win money to either save an orphanage or pay for an operation.
*Homestar's ending segment which shows him and Marzipan driving towards the sunset is an homage to the [[Wikipedia:Sega|Sega]] racing title [[wikipedia:OutRun|OutRun]]. Its drawing style also resembles the arcade game [[wikipedia:Pole Position|Pole Position]].
*The insult power-downs may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Duke Nukem (computer game)|Duke Nukem]], where swear words are a powerup instead.
*Mills Bills were part of a [[Wikipedia:General Mills|General Mills]] cereal promotion in which cereal box tops could be collected and redeemed for money for a local school.
*This game is also a reference to an [[Atari 2600]] game called [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=173 Fast Food], with the junk food items replacing the purple pickles.

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

*The following names were added in version 1.new.
**[[Wikipedia:Eight ball|8BAL]]
**FRUM
**[[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|GOBI]]
**GUMB
**JILL
**KOT8 (The King of Town, only available if playing as Homestar Runner)
**KSPE (Kid Speedy, only available if not playing as him)

__FORCETOC__
== Obstacles and Reply List ==
Every few seconds an Obstacle will appear in the player's path, and the player is given the option to FIGHT, TALK, or JUMP. The player is given no clue as to which obstacle has appeared until after they have made their choice, however, leaving it up to a guessing game. For each obstacle one of the options will grant the player 2 points, one will take away 1 point, and one will leave the player's score unaffected.

This is a list of all the replies the player gets from various objects after FIGHTing, TALKing, or JUMPing them. If the player gets a correct response, the game beeps 2 points are earned. If the player gets it wrong, it beeps once and a point is lost. Otherwise, it won't beep at all and 0 points are earned.

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*After about every 7 obstacles (sometimes sooner, sometimes later), you get a message on the screen:
** '''Obstacle #7:''' It gets awesome after 100,000,000 points, we swear.
** '''Obstacle #14:''' Hallrunner will return in 'Hallrunner 2: Farther Along'
** '''Obstacle #21:''' Watch out for objects!
** '''Obstacle #28:''' Seriously, watch out for objects!
** '''Obstacle #35:''' Shouldn't you be making a flow chart or something productive?
** '''Obstacle #42:''' Your devotion to this game is impressive.
** '''Obstacle #49:''' So, anyway. How is it going?
** '''Obstacle #56:''' Are you enjoying the game?
** '''Obstacle #63:''' What are you doing after this? Want to get some poutine?
** '''Obstacle #70:''' Okay, pal. Seriously. Time to call it quits.
** '''Obstacle #77:''' We were just kidding about it getting awesome. Go home.
** '''Obstacle #84:''' That's it. I'm calling mother and arranging an intervention.
** '''Obstacle #91:''' You won't listen will you? Don't make me turn this car around!
** '''Obstacle #99:''' Okay that's it. I'm restarting this list of messages. That'll learn ya.
*On some computers, the game will remember your score and the number of obstacles you've faced even after clearing your browser's cache and deleting your cookies.
**On some computers, if you right click the game, choose "Settings," choose the folder tab, and drag the slider all the way to the left, you can delete all the information videlectrix.com has stored on your computer. Closing the window and restarting the game will give a prompt on whether to let it store info; denying will just make it ask again in next time your score changes.
*If you choose "Fight" for each object once, you'd have 1 point. "Talk" would get you 15 points, and "Jump" would get you 14 points.
*Allowing an object to hit your runner results in a loss of ten points.
*The questions and answers for the game are contained in an XML file. It is possible to create your own questions and answers for the game by downloading the SWF and XML file and editing the XML with a text editor (like Notepad).
*If your computer is slow, you can see the "loading" screen really says: "[[Irregular Loading Screens|Loadaling]]".
*The objects on the floor come toward you even when you are not running.

Super Kingio Bros.

MeowMeow — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 19:57:06 GMT

MeowMeow:

[[Image:King_Brothers_Game.PNG|thumb|All the Mario action!]]

'''Super Kingio Bros.''' is a secret "game", found after clicking [[The King of Town]] after [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] is over. It is impossible to progress beyond the initial screen. The King of Town represents [[Mario]]. He can hardly move, much less jump over the [[Wikipedia:Goomba|Goomba]] that eventually kills him. Upon failure, the King laments that his life is a joke.
== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This game is featured in several questions on the [[FAQ#Video Games of Distinction|FAQ]].
===Remarks===
*The King of Town starts out with three lives, but dying once will end the game.
*On the Flash file, right-clicking and selecting "Play" will cause the Goomba to stop moving, allowing the King of Town to move to the end of the screen (or as far as the Goomba is). There is no way to get past the Goomba, as the King will hit it no matter what, due to the Goomba starting at the end of the screen.
**A seek bar may also be used to move the Goomba past the King of Town's position, which allows the King of Town to go beyond the right side of the screen unbounded. If the Goomba reaches the left side of the screen, it proceeds to the game over screen as if the King was hit.
*The timer always displays a time of 000. In a real game of Super Mario Bros., this would mean the player had run out of time on a particular level and will lose a life.
*The Goomba sprite extends beyond the Goomba itself, meaning that the King of Town only needs to come close to the Goomba to die. Mario needs to actually touch the enemy or come within a precise square/rectangular sprite for any effect.
*The King of Town will always rise slightly above the ground when he dies, even when the player doesn't jump.
*The entire screen (inside the border, that is) appears to be an invisible Flash button, commonly used for Easter eggs, but nothing happens when it is clicked.
**There is also apparently another invisible Flash button outside of the top-left of the border. It too does nothing.
*The center block in the row of five is not connected with the one to its right.

===Goofs===
*Pressing "J" any time while at black level screen causes The King of Town's jumping grunt to be heard.
*On the [[April Fools' 2006]] version of this game, the King of Town could not be moved and the Goomba would go directly through him.
*Pressing "J" when the Caps lock is on or when the Shift Key is pressed results in the game acting as though the "J" key had not been pressed in the first place.

===Real-World References===
[[Image:MarioBros.png|thumb|The original.]]
*This is based almost precisely on the very beginning of the first level of [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros]].
**The King of Town's clothes, hat, nose, and mustache are near-identical to Mario's.
**The music is The King of Town "singing" the beginning of the classic Mario theme, the death sound, and the game over song.
**It should be noted that Super Mario Bros. was for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Kingio Brothers' graphics are far superior to the NES's, as it has high quality color and smoothness, rather than low-quality pixelated graphics.
**The only thing missing from the display is the coin counter, which should be in the gap between the "Score" and the "World" indicators. Since The King can't collect any, it's just as well that the coin counter's missing.
**After getting hit, the King of Town will bounce on the ground once before being thrown into the air and off the screen, while Mario is just thrown into the air without bouncing.

Talk:Email FAQ

MeowMeow — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:09:55 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Old emails */

==New FAQ Page==
As has been noted a couple times already in inappropriate places, there is a new FAQ page which is based off a 'Highlights' magazine. I'm relatively new here, so I don't know how this is handled. Do we continue another section of this page, or create a new page? Most of the actual FAQ's are the same, just the presentation is different. And how accurate is calling this 'Email FAQ'? Most of the questions are not about sb emails.
The previous incarnation currently exists [http://homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/faq-2004.html here], and probably will be maintained somewhere on that site.
--[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 04:19, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

I just updated the main page with a slightly more useful note than before, and a link to the mirror, until the new page is fully addressed. --[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 04:39, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

:I think that the old page should be moved elsewhere (e.g. "Old FAQ") and then we can replace the current one with the new stuff.

:Note to helpers: We don't need the entire text of the FAQ on the page, only interesting stuff (e.g. solutions to the puzzles). But we could put the text of the old FAQ on that page, for posterity (plus a link to the mirror). [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 07:49, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

:: Sounds like a good plan. I went ahead and uploaded a [http://www.hrwiki.org/images/7/71/faq_issue2.JPG new graphic] so when the new page is finally implemented (created, or whatever) we can simply use a thumbnailed version of it. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 14:14, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

==FSU fun fact==
:*Many of the questions appearing on "Email FAQ" were taken from a Question and Answer session featuring [[The Brothers Chaps]] at their alma mater [http://www.fsu.edu Florida State University] on November 7, 2003.
I've only been able to confirm that there actually was an event that [[The Brothers Chaps]] attended at FSU on November 7, 2003 via [http://filmschool.fsu.edu/warrenreport/2003/10-31-03.html this webpage]. However, I could find nothing about the FAQ questions being asked there. If I remember correctly, the Email FAQ was already on the site at that time. Can anyone else confirm or refute this?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:38, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Old emails ==

Which email has the old emails button?

:[[homsar]] used to have one... --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 00:15, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, this is {{User:MeowMeow/sig}} here. So, I did an edit on this page and it got removed. Why was the edit concerning Xeriouxly Forxe wasn't removed, but this was? If someone could please explain this to me, I would be very grateful. Your friendly wiki editor, {{User:MeowMeow/sig}

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat, let 'er rip!

''{The Cheat presses the button on the remote. The trapdoor opens under Homestar's feet. He falls about two feet and stops.''}

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Woo! That was fun!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I thought we were opting for the bottomless pit. ''{Homestar starts a little dance with his feet, stepping back and forth gracefully.}'' ... Not a two-foot pit!

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

====Sample Game====
The free sample game resembles Space Invaders with Strong Bad against an army of Homestars coming out of the sky. The Cheat periodically falls from top to bottom and if he hits you, a message will appear saying "YOUR"
"HEAD" (changes to SHIP a second later)
"ASPLODE". Trying to play the game is difficult because the screen continually flashes the message "TRIAL VERSION", locking the game controls. The game also automatically closes itself after the 14th "TRIAL VERSION" screen, keeping you from advancing.
Using the cheat described below, it is possible to eliminate all of the Homestars, but this only results in a new set of Homestars appearing, and nothing else.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*The entire April Fools' site is a spoof of the preview pages on many pay-sites on the Internet: the trial videos, the free tour that ends with a sign-up page, the tacky design and layout, and the "streaming video game feeds" all mimic said pages.
**The second page claims "ACCESS TO ALL 230+ STRONG BAD EMAILS!" when there were only 127 emails at the time it was posted. This spoofs how subscription sites often flagrantly misrepresent their content. However, this may be a reference to a perk of subscribing (viewing unaired Strong Bad Emails).
**A recent trend for Internet entertainment sites (especially game sites) is to be free for a few years, and then the owners initiate a pay-to-play policy.
**The free trial game that expires very quickly is very common on many pay sites, which offer demos of popular games that expire after a specific amount of usage time, counted in hours, times played, or days. Afterward, many member sites disallow users from downloading the demo again (or are allowed one or two more downloads), and the user must then purchase the actual game.
**The low quality images spoof the [[Wikipedia:JPEG#Compression ratio and artifacts|compressed JPEGs]] used by the sites.

=== Trivia===
*The font type of the phrase "There's more?? Why, yes." is the same [[font]] used on the [[Compy 386]].
*When the page was first released, the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page weren't there, like [[Under Construction]].
*The loading screen for the Trapdoor sample reads "loading free pay sample...".
*Pressing '7' on the keyboard (or the numeric keypad) during the trial game will toggle the gray 'TRIAL VERSION' message. If it's onscreen, it will vanish. If it's not onscreen, it will appear. Holding down the 7 key rapidly toggles the message on and off. The 7 key has no effect at any other time.
*The screenshots on the first page show:
**Senor Cardgage showing a pie chart to Homestar, dressed in [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|his pajamas and robe]] from [[caper]].
**Strong Bad with the [[Lappy 486]] as The Cheat serves him Strong Sad's head on a platter.
**Strong Mad on [[the couch]] wearing Homestar's [[Homestarmy]] bowl, next to Frank Bennedetto.
*The screenshots on the second page show:
**Strong Bad at the [[Tandy 400]] with Sterrance (from [[animal]]) in the foreground.
**Strong Bad destroying a city (à la {{wp|Godzilla}}).
**Strong Bad in front of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], which has gained Bubs's eyes and mouth.
*The third page has:
**A screenshot from [[StrongBadZone]] with the quote "A SPLODE IS A LOT".
**The boxes for the [[Videlectrix]] games [[Planet Alert!]] and [[Spaceshipper]].
**The sprite of Stinkoman from [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
**A screenshot from [[RhinoFeeder]].
**A screenshot from the Videlectrix game [[Rabbit Algebra]].
*There is a [[oldHR:payplustile.jpg|background tile]] image, but it's only a tiny black line.
**The line actually gradients to grey as it nears the center, but in front of a default white background, it is almost impossible to see. When the image is tiled on a black background, then the gradient forms a line that can be seen.
*Homestar made it only to five at the end of the "Seven Seconds" trial, meaning he was counting, on average, at the rate of one for every 1.4 seconds.
*Using a Flash decompiler, it is possible to see that The Brothers Chaps left the entirety of the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games menu]] in the trial game instead of just the necessary objects.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#hunt the wumpus|hunt the wumpus]]".
*Except for the buttons and movie clips, all content featured in this toon are JPEGs.
*In the math problem shown in the screen shot of Rabbit Algebra, x = ±4.

=== Remarks ===
*Right clicking and selecting "play" will quickly advance you, page by page, to the very end of the presentation.
*None of the screenshots on the first two pages are from actual toons or emails. The StrongBadZone screenshot contains a quote not found in the game.
*On the "The Email Show" page, in the middle of the screen, Strong Bad's eyes are a much lighter shade of green and have lost the shadow on the tops of his eyes.
*Homestar is shown standing on Strong Mad's head after falling through the trapdoor, yet in [[Strong Mad's Character Video]], [[The Li'l Brudder Show]], and [[Toikey TV]], [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]] was shown to have a much higher ceiling.
**In [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], it is revealed that the computer room is on the top floor of the House of Strong, with an entire floor separating it from the basement, though the HomestarRunner.com universe has never been entirely consistent in terms of locations and distance.
**Additionally, it is first shown that only Homestar's feet fell through the hole, yet in the next scene it shows that half of his legs went through.
*If you shoot all the Homestars in the trial game, a second wave appears.
*On the first page, the right column of pictures is entitled "Instant Access", but at the end, it states "You will receive your package in 6 - 8 weeks."
*The presentation refers to an "everybody dies" episode of [[Teen Girl Squad]]; however, at the time of this cartoon, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8|Issue 8]] had already included every character dying. Since then, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9|Issue 9]], an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|Issue 10]], and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13|Issue 13]] have too.
*The "question box" on the Games page only allows for ten characters. It is also impossible to submit anything.
*You can access the "you will receive your package in 6-8 weeks" page without filling the form out.
*Even if you were a member, you wouldn't be able to login, as the "loggin'" box has no submit button.
*The price of the subscription changes from $12.95/month and $99.95/year on the first page to $19.95/month and $499.95/week.
*"View your shopping cart" cannot be clicked on.

===Goofs===
*Pressing the back button while watching the "Let's see a clip!" preview on page 2 will not make the clip close, but it does close if you go back to page 2. This does not work if you hit "Show me more, sir!" or on any other of the previews.
**However, if you right click and click Rewind while watching the other samples, it goes to the first section. It zooms in on the game.
*In the 7-second trial (which is actually 7.15 seconds long, according to counter), the counter in the corner is counting by seconds and then 60ths of seconds. If you watch it frame by frame in the Flash file, you can see the decimal counter is going at 5 60ths of a second per frame, which means the decimal goes up by 5 every frame. At the end of any second, the counter does not go from 55 to 0, it goes from 55 to 60, and then to 65 of the next number, and then to 10 of the next number.
*The black part of Sterrance's face mask is not present in his screen shot.
*In the free trial of the "Email Show" page, when Homestar has been caught in the trapdoor, his position on Strong Mad's head would be impossible.

=== Fixed Glitches ===
* After the Post-Flash Update, the ship in Homestar Invaders could only shoot four times.

=== Inside References ===
*This toon mentions [[interactive menus]].
*When your ship is destroyed in the trial game, the message "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE" appears, with "head" changing to "ship" a split-second later. This is a reference to StrongBadZone and another appearance of "[[A Splode]]".
*All the sprites in the trial game come from the secret games on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*The floppy disk seen during the "Trap Door" sample reads "[[Wumpus|hunt the wumpus]]".
*The "cred" card shown on page five belongs to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], who is a member of the [[Superfied Credit Union]]. This is a reference to the [[credit card]] email and to the [[Downloads]] page.
*The Cheat uses a [[single-button remote control]].
*The phrase "Also, too" also appears in [[monster truck]].
*Cheerleader's shirt reads "Sperled rotten", an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"#"Oi" as "Er"|"Oi" pronounced as "Er"]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The trial game resembles another Homestar Runner game, [[Armless Invaders]], which in turn resembles the arcade game [[Space Invaders]].
*"I'm a real boy!" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pinocchio|Pinocchio]], a wooden puppet who was turned "real" and made a similar remark in at least one version of the story.
*"I'll teach you to steal my date, Eh! Steve! I'm gonna come outta my shell at the Friday Night Dance and show everybody who's who!" and the #9 jersey are references to the movie [[IMDB:tt0112368|Angus]].

===Fast Forward===
*Similarly to Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat would fall through the floor onto Strong Mad's head in an Easter egg in [[your edge]].
*Bubs' Stand would turn into his head again in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]].
*The line "Revamped for the '90s" would later be used in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], another April Fools' Day prank.

==DVD Version==
*Viewers can read the pages in any order.
*If you do not select anything for a while, the DVD will advance to the next page automatically.
*The Free Sample Game is not playable; instead, a video of the game being played is shown, with the [[Wikipedia:Nagware|nag screen]] still present.
*The form at the end can't be filled out or submitted.

====Sample Game====
The free sample game resembles Space Invaders with Strong Bad against an army of Homestars coming out of the sky. The Cheat periodically falls from top to bottom and if he hits you, a message will appear saying "YOUR"
"HEAD" (changes to SHIP a second later)
"ASPLODE". Trying to play the game is difficult because the screen continually flashes the message "TRIAL VERSION", locking the game controls. The game also automatically closes itself after the 14th "TRIAL VERSION" screen, keeping you from advancing.
Using the cheat described below, it is possible to eliminate all of the Homestars, but this only results in a new set of Homestars appearing, and nothing else.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*The entire April Fools' site is a spoof of the preview pages on many pay-sites on the Internet: the trial videos, the free tour that ends with a sign-up page, the tacky design and layout, and the "streaming video game feeds" all mimic said pages.
**The second page claims "ACCESS TO ALL 230+ STRONG BAD EMAILS!" when there were only 127 emails at the time it was posted. This spoofs how subscription sites often flagrantly misrepresent their content. However, this may be a reference to a perk of subscribing (viewing unaired Strong Bad Emails).
**A recent trend for Internet entertainment sites (especially game sites) is to be free for a few years, and then the owners initiate a pay-to-play policy.
**The free trial game that expires very quickly is very common on many pay sites, which offer demos of popular games that expire after a specific amount of usage time, counted in hours, times played, or days. Afterward, many member sites disallow users from downloading the demo again (or are allowed one or two more downloads), and the user must then purchase the actual game.
**The low quality images spoof the [[Wikipedia:JPEG#Compression ratio and artifacts|compressed JPEGs]] used by the sites.

=== Trivia===
*The font type of the phrase "There's more?? Why, yes." is the same [[font]] used on the [[Compy 386]].
*When the page was first released, the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page weren't there, like [[Under Construction]].
*The loading screen for the Trapdoor sample reads "loading free pay sample...".
*Pressing '7' on the keyboard (or the numeric keypad) during the trial game will toggle the gray 'TRIAL VERSION' message. If it's onscreen, it will vanish. If it's not onscreen, it will appear. Holding down the 7 key rapidly toggles the message on and off. The 7 key has no effect at any other time.
*The screenshots on the first page show:
**Senor Cardgage showing a pie chart to Homestar, dressed in [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|his pajamas and robe]] from [[caper]].
**Strong Bad with the [[Lappy 486]] as The Cheat serves him Strong Sad's head on a platter.
**Strong Mad on [[the couch]] wearing Homestar's [[Homestarmy]] bowl, next to Frank Bennedetto.
*The screenshots on the second page show:
**Strong Bad at the [[Tandy 400]] with Sterrance (from [[animal]]) in the foreground.
**Strong Bad destroying a city (à la {{wp|Godzilla}}).
**Strong Bad in front of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], which has gained Bubs's eyes and mouth.
*The third page has:
**A screenshot from [[StrongBadZone]] with the quote "A SPLODE IS A LOT".
**The boxes for the [[Videlectrix]] games [[Planet Alert!]] and [[Spaceshipper]].
**The sprite of Stinkoman from [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
**A screenshot from [[RhinoFeeder]].
**A screenshot from the Videlectrix game [[Rabbit Algebra]].
*There is a [[oldHR:payplustile.jpg|background tile]] image, but it's only a tiny black line.
**The line actually gradients to grey as it nears the center, but in front of a default white background, it is almost impossible to see. When the image is tiled on a black background, then the gradient forms a line that can be seen.
*Homestar made it only to five at the end of the "Seven Seconds" trial, meaning he was counting, on average, at the rate of one for every 1.4 seconds.
*Using a Flash decompiler, it is possible to see that The Brothers Chaps left the entirety of the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games menu]] in the trial game instead of just the necessary objects.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#hunt the wumpus|hunt the wumpus]]".
*Except for the buttons and movie clips, all content featured in this toon are JPEGs.
*In the math problem shown in the screen shot of Rabbit Algebra, x = ±4.

*On the "The Email Show" page, in the middle of the screen, Strong Bad's eyes are a much lighter shade of green and have lost the shadow on the tops of his eyes.

*You can access the "you will receive your package in 6-8 weeks" page without filling the form out.
*Even if you were a member, you wouldn't be able to login, as the "loggin'" box has no submit button.
*The price of the subscription changes from $12.95/month and $99.95/year on the first page to $19.95/month and $499.95/week.

====Sample Game====
The free sample game resembles Space Invaders with Strong Bad against an army of Homestars coming out of the sky. The Cheat periodically falls from top to bottom and if he hits you, a message will appear saying "YOUR"
"HEAD" (changes to SHIP a second later)
"ASPLODE". Trying to play the game is difficult because the screen continually flashes the message "TRIAL VERSION", locking the game controls. The game also automatically closes itself after the 14th "TRIAL VERSION" screen, keeping you from advancing.
Using the cheat described below, it is possible to eliminate all of the Homestars, but this only results in a new set of Homestars appearing, and nothing else.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*The entire April Fools' site is a spoof of the preview pages on many pay-sites on the Internet: the trial videos, the free tour that ends with a sign-up page, the tacky design and layout, and the "streaming video game feeds" all mimic said pages.
**The second page claims "ACCESS TO ALL 230+ STRONG BAD EMAILS!" when there were only 127 emails at the time it was posted. This spoofs how subscription sites often flagrantly misrepresent their content. However, this may be a reference to a perk of subscribing (viewing unaired Strong Bad Emails).
**A recent trend for Internet entertainment sites (especially game sites) is to be free for a few years, and then the owners initiate a pay-to-play policy.
**The free trial game that expires very quickly is very common on many pay sites, which offer demos of popular games that expire after a specific amount of usage time, counted in hours, times played, or days. Afterward, many member sites disallow users from downloading the demo again (or are allowed one or two more downloads), and the user must then purchase the actual game.
**The low quality images spoof the [[Wikipedia:JPEG#Compression ratio and artifacts|compressed JPEGs]] used by the sites.

=== Trivia===
*The font type of the phrase "There's more?? Why, yes." is the same [[font]] used on the [[Compy 386]].
*When the page was first released, the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page weren't there, like [[Under Construction]].
*The loading screen for the Trapdoor sample reads "loading free pay sample...".
*Pressing '7' on the keyboard (or the numeric keypad) during the trial game will toggle the gray 'TRIAL VERSION' message. If it's onscreen, it will vanish. If it's not onscreen, it will appear. Holding down the 7 key rapidly toggles the message on and off. The 7 key has no effect at any other time.
*The screenshots on the first page show:
**Senor Cardgage showing a pie chart to Homestar, dressed in [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|his pajamas and robe]] from [[caper]].
**Strong Bad with the [[Lappy 486]] as The Cheat serves him Strong Sad's head on a platter.
**Strong Mad on [[the couch]] wearing Homestar's [[Homestarmy]] bowl, next to Frank Bennedetto.
*The screenshots on the second page show:
**Strong Bad at the [[Tandy 400]] with Sterrance (from [[animal]]) in the foreground.
**Strong Bad destroying a city (à la {{wp|Godzilla}}).
**Strong Bad in front of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], which has gained Bubs's eyes and mouth.
*The third page has:
**A screenshot from [[StrongBadZone]] with the quote "A SPLODE IS A LOT".
**The boxes for the [[Videlectrix]] games [[Planet Alert!]] and [[Spaceshipper]].
**The sprite of Stinkoman from [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
**A screenshot from [[RhinoFeeder]].
**A screenshot from the Videlectrix game [[Rabbit Algebra]].
*There is a [[oldHR:payplustile.jpg|background tile]] image, but it's only a tiny black line.
**The line actually gradients to grey as it nears the center, but in front of a default white background, it is almost impossible to see. When the image is tiled on a black background, then the gradient forms a line that can be seen.
*Homestar made it only to five at the end of the "Seven Seconds" trial, meaning he was counting, on average, at the rate of one for every 1.4 seconds.
*Using a Flash decompiler, it is possible to see that The Brothers Chaps left the entirety of the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games menu]] in the trial game instead of just the necessary objects.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#hunt the wumpus|hunt the wumpus]]".
*Except for the buttons and movie clips, all content featured in this toon are JPEGs.
*In the math problem shown in the screen shot of Rabbit Algebra, x = ±4.

=== Remarks ===
*Right clicking and selecting "play" will quickly advance you, page by page, to the very end of the presentation.
*None of the screenshots on the first two pages are from actual toons or emails. The StrongBadZone screenshot contains a quote not found in the game.
*On the "The Email Show" page, in the middle of the screen, Strong Bad's eyes are a much lighter shade of green and have lost the shadow on the tops of his eyes.
*Homestar is shown standing on Strong Mad's head after falling through the trapdoor, yet in [[Strong Mad's Character Video]], [[The Li'l Brudder Show]], and [[Toikey TV]], [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|the basement]] was shown to have a much higher ceiling.
**In [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], it is revealed that the computer room is on the top floor of the House of Strong, with an entire floor separating it from the basement, though the HomestarRunner.com universe has never been entirely consistent in terms of locations and distance.
**Additionally, it is first shown that only Homestar's feet fell through the hole, yet in the next scene it shows that half of his legs went through.
*If you shoot all the Homestars in the trial game, a second wave appears.
*On the first page, the right column of pictures is entitled "Instant Access", but at the end, it states "You will receive your package in 6 - 8 weeks."
*The presentation refers to an "everybody dies" episode of [[Teen Girl Squad]]; however, at the time of this cartoon, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8|Issue 8]] had already included every character dying. Since then, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9|Issue 9]], an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|Issue 10]], and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13|Issue 13]] have too.
*The "question box" on the Games page only allows for ten characters. It is also impossible to submit anything.
*You can access the "you will receive your package in 6-8 weeks" page without filling the form out.
*Even if you were a member, you wouldn't be able to login, as the "loggin'" box has no submit button.
*The price of the subscription changes from $12.95/month and $99.95/year on the first page to $19.95/month and $499.95/week.
*"View your shopping cart" cannot be clicked on.

===Goofs===
*Pressing the back button while watching the "Let's see a clip!" preview on page 2 will not make the clip close, but it does close if you go back to page 2. This does not work if you hit "Show me more, sir!" or on any other of the previews.
**However, if you right click and click Rewind while watching the other samples, it goes to the first section. It zooms in on the game.
*In the 7-second trial (which is actually 7.15 seconds long, according to counter), the counter in the corner is counting by seconds and then 60ths of seconds. If you watch it frame by frame in the Flash file, you can see the decimal counter is going at 5 60ths of a second per frame, which means the decimal goes up by 5 every frame. At the end of any second, the counter does not go from 55 to 0, it goes from 55 to 60, and then to 65 of the next number, and then to 10 of the next number.
*The black part of Sterrance's face mask is not present in his screen shot.
*In the free trial of the "Email Show" page, when Homestar has been caught in the trapdoor, his position on Strong Mad's head would be impossible.

=== Inside References ===
*This toon mentions [[interactive menus]].
*When your ship is destroyed in the trial game, the message "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE" appears, with "head" changing to "ship" a split-second later. This is a reference to StrongBadZone and another appearance of "[[A Splode]]".
*All the sprites in the trial game come from the secret games on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*The floppy disk seen during the "Trap Door" sample reads "[[Wumpus|hunt the wumpus]]".
*The "cred" card shown on page five belongs to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], who is a member of the [[Superfied Credit Union]]. This is a reference to the [[credit card]] email and to the [[Downloads]] page.
*The Cheat uses a [[single-button remote control]].
*The phrase "Also, too" also appears in [[monster truck]].
*Cheerleader's shirt reads "Sperled rotten", an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"#"Oi" as "Er"|"Oi" pronounced as "Er"]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The trial game resembles another Homestar Runner game, [[Armless Invaders]], which in turn resembles the arcade game [[Space Invaders]].
*"I'm a real boy!" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pinocchio|Pinocchio]], a wooden puppet who was turned "real" and made a similar remark in at least one version of the story.
*"I'll teach you to steal my date, Eh! Steve! I'm gonna come outta my shell at the Friday Night Dance and show everybody who's who!" and the #9 jersey are references to the movie [[IMDB:tt0112368|Angus]].

===Fast Forward===
*Similarly to Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat would fall through the floor onto Strong Mad's head in an Easter egg in [[your edge]].
*Bubs' Stand would turn into his head again in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]].
*The line "Revamped for the '90s" would later be used in [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], another April Fools' Day prank.

==DVD Version==
*Viewers can read the pages in any order.
*If you do not select anything for a while, the DVD will advance to the next page automatically.
*The Free Sample Game is not playable; instead, a video of the game being played is shown, with the [[Wikipedia:Nagware|nag screen]] still present.
*The form at the end can't be filled out or submitted.

''{Cut to the King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious Five much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

''{Homestar walks by and continues to do so throughout the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guy-

''{The cartoon pauses with a blue bar appearing in the upper-left. It reads "New DLC is available for this cartoon!"}''

''{The bar then reads "Downloading "2022 Costume Pack"", as a white line appears to download the pack.}''

''{The pack finishes downloading. The bar reads "DLC downloaded!"}''

''{The bar then reads "The cartoon will now restart.}"''

''{Cut to the King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs, who now are wearing different costumes.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious Five much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

''{Homestar walks by, and continues to do so throughout the scene. His costume gushes blood from the armholes and his voice has reverb.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guys. ''{rapping; Coach Z dances}'' Ahh, it's Coach Z to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, it's Coach Z!

''{Switch to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...you know, I think it turned out pretty good. I mean Mom helped me do the boots, and I did the sewing—

''{Homestar walks by.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, lookin' good, Strong Bad. Death Clock or whoever, that's great!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, Death Clock ih- d—?! ''{shouting}'' For the last time, I'm some freakin' guy I chose at random from ''{not shouting}'' WarioWare.

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU SHOULD HAVE PICKED THE DISCO GUY.

''{Switch to Marzipan, Strong Sad, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith, who is bobbing for pumpkins. He picks up a pumpkin and spits it into the bucket twice.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yesterday, I was out in the garden, and I was weeding, and there was this little worm... and...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, everybody looks so great! ''{stops walking}'' You know, there's more punch over there, if anybody... wants any.

''{At the last second of the shot, Homsar pops up from the pumpkin-bobbing pool.}''

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All riiiiiight, everybody! Line up! ''{holds up flashlight}'' We're gonna play ''{clicks flashlight on and off}'' Flashlight Ghost-Story-Telling with a Flashliiight! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Cut to Homestar still standing in front of Pom Pom, Marzipan and Strong Sad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, okay! I'll go first.

''{A circle forms around him so his picture is now an inset of a new scene. The story begins in the Spooky Woods.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... okay! ''{talking spooky}'' Once, there was this green gobliiiin... ''{a goblin appears, accompanied by a musical sting}'' and um, he used to... look aroooound... ''{the goblin looks around, accompanied by a musical sting}'' And um, I guess he did a daaance. ''{the goblin dances to a short song}'' ''{breaking character}'' Oh man, that was terribl-

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Goblin Dance Moves Upgrade".}''

''{The bar finishes downloading. It then reads "DLC downloaded!".}''

''{It then reads "The cartoon will now restart."}''

''{The screen briefly fades to black, before fading back in.}''

''{The bar reads "Just kidding."}''

''{The goblin now does a more well-animated dance to the remix from Most in the Graveyard. Homestar looks on.}''

''{Homestar passes the flashlight to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' And... the goblin, he had a Grem-

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Lesser Characters Ghost Story Expansion"}''

''{The bar finished downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!" Coach Z now takes Bubs's place.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And this gorblin! He bought a new fridge!

''{The car turns into a fridge. As Coach Z speaks, the fridge is morphed to fit his description. The goblin nods.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And he tricked it out with a drawer freezer, French doors, and an ice maker that dispenses ballpark ice! Y'know, the kind that kinda looks like little icy tater-torts. ''{A pile of ice cubes dispenses from the fridge with the sound of an engine revving.}'' 36 by 65 inches, 28 cubic feet of food storage, I mean we're talking some freaking hus-tle! ''{The hubcap spikes and tricked-out tailpipes are added to the sides of the fridge. The tailpipes blast flames.}''

''{Coach Z passes the flashlight to The Cheat, who makes Cheat noises throughout his segment. As he speaks, first the doors of the fridge bulge out. Then, the doors pop open, revealing a disembodied blue arm and a disembodied blue leg. A disgusting pink thing bulges out from the freezer drawer. A pair of eyeballs attached to long optic nerves pop out from the pile of ice. A blue hand rises from the dirt to the left of the fridge, and a blue arm holding a detached blue leg pops out from a knothole of a tree on the right. Finally, a drawing of the sun smiling and wearing sunglasses appears on the fridge. The Cheat passes the flashlight to Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' Ummm... THE GOBLIN IS WEARING A HAT! ''{A chef's toque appears on the goblin.}'' And... THE FRIDGE IS WEARING A HAT! ''{A blue wizard's hat with stars and moons appears on the fridge.}'' Duh... uh, A PILE OF HATS IS WEARING A HAT! ''{A pile of hats appears, and a large maroon top hat plops on top of the pile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, brother! Gimme that! ''{snatches the flashlight from Strong Mad}'' So then the robot came{{--}}

''{The Visor Robot walks onscreen from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}and he started vaporizing anybody with his vapor-gu-

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Robot Graphical Upgrade".}''

''{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!". The Visor Robot now has a three-dimensional shiny metallic appearance.}''

''{As Strong Bad yells, Visor Robot blasts the various dead body parts and the hats with his laser vision. Everything hit by a laser now explodes loudly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And he was like "You take this, and you'd better, you, and you take this, everybody's gonna die!" And then he said, ''{The Robot jumps backwards. The Goblin takes a sideways leap out of the way and peeks behind the fridge}'' "Oh, the Gremlin! I hate the Goblin Gremlin! Bah!"

''{The Visor Robot kicks the fridge over the trees. However, the Goblin, who has evaded the attack, stays behind.}''

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Strong Bad Human Nose Pack".}''

''{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!" The circle zooms in to the center of the screen, as the nose of Strong Bad's costume is replaced with a more CG-looking one, with jiggle physics, and the mustache now looks much hairier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, this nose is amazing! Look at it doingo boingo! ''{Strong Bad rocks his head back and forth}'' Doingo boingo doingo boingo doingo boingo... I need to get some more punch.

''{The circle zooms back out to its original position. Strong Bad passes the flashlight to the King of Town and walks off.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oooh, oooh!

''{The Visor Robot and Goblin stand across from each other and all the food appears that the King mentions in between them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And then there was fried fish and Heavenly Ha-

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Nerf The King Of Town's Food Dumbness?" Two options are presented: "Yes?" and "Very Yes?" The latter is selected.}''

''{All the food inexplicably disappears. Strong Sad instantly takes his place with a splat sound.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so it turns out the robot had a human brain ''{a circle showing the interior of the Robot's head shows a human brain inside it}'' that was stolen from a ki-

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Strong Sad's Less Pathetic Voice Sound Pack"}''

''{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!"

''{A boy and a girl walk in from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Now with his modern voice}'' -kindly old man. And the children of that old man came to the robot looking for their father, and they called out to him.

''{A speech bubble with an exclamation point in it appears on the girl. They move in closer.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the robot's human brain remembered his children and his stolen life, and he was moved to tears.

''{Tears drip down from the robot's visor, which causes sparks to appear on his exterior.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' But the tears shorted out his circuits and fried his brain.

''{The robot topples over, crushing the two kids and the goblin. The robot's brain is thrown clear and begins to slide in a pool of brain juice.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the robot toppled over, and he crushed his children, and the Goblin, too. And none of them lived. ''{clicks the flashlight off}''

''{Cut to Bubs, Coach Z, and the King of Town crying.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{crying}'' Oh, jeez, what a total downer!

''{They walk away, still crying.}''

''{Cut to a wide shot as everyone begins leaving.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, I'm outta here!

''{The Poopsmith sighs deeply and walks away.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{crying}'' That's the saddest story I've ever heard! You can't come to next year's party.

''{Marzipan walks away crying.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly, with blood spurting onto Strong Sad's sweater and on the ground in front of him as he talks}'' Gee... thanks for coming to my party, Strong Sad.

''{Homestar sighs and walks away.}''

''{Everyone except Strong Sad leaves, and crickets start chirping. An owl hoots as Strong Sad clicks the flashlight on and off a few times.}''

''{The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Modicum of Effort on the Animation Pack"}''

''{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!"}''

''{Strong Sad's hands are now animated to show him holding the flashlight and using his fingers to click the flashlight on and off. A close-up circle is added to the right for emphasis.}''

''{Cut to the ending screen, showing the moon behind the trees. A far-off wolf howls.}''

''{The old-style costume list screen pops up, complete with costume voting message. The blue bar re-appears. It reads "Downloading "Later That Night".}''

''{The bar finishes downloading. It reads "DLC downloaded!". The scene changes to the since-2001 standard stand-around-and-comment-on-each-others'-costume screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! I forgot that this cartoon didn't have a stand around and comment on each other's costumes part.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rapid monotone}'' The tradition of standing around in the Spooky Woods after a Halloween cartoon and commenting on one other's costumes began in 2001 with the cartoon ''The House''{{--}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Pipe down, you walkin' Homestar Runner Wiki!

'''STRONG SAD:''' This cartoon contains another reference to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This cartoon's about to contain another instance of blood if you don't shut up.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, I can help with that!

''{He leans over and spurts blood out of his armhole, then alternating to the other side, then both}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sptoo! Ptoo! Instance of blood!

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on The Cheat:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Cheatcliff! Cheatcliff! No one should be in a third-rate Garfield cartoon!

*At the end, click on Coach Z:
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it finally happened: Coach Z ran out of rappers to dress up as and had to repeat one.
:'''COACH Z:''' No, no! I've never dressed up as anybody from Run-DMC! Honest!
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There's no way, Coach Z. You definitely did in, like, 2003, 2005, maybe.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I specifically remember there being like a "King of Rork" joke or maybe it was "Work This Way".
:'''COACH Z''': ''{scatting and dancing to the tune of "Walk This Way"}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking concernedly and rapidly}'' Are we really not going to address how Coach Z has fingers in this cartoon?!

*At the end, click on Pom Pom:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Pom Pom, I really like your Twinkie the Kid ate too many Twinkies as a kid costume!
:'''KING OF TOWN:''' More like, I hanker for a hunka cheese council propaganda!

*At the end, click on the King of Town:
:'''KING OF TOWN:''' It was the right costume to do, and a tasty way to do it.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' King of Town, are you simultaneously the Quaker Oats guy and Wilford Brimley?
:'''KING OF TOWN:''' Wilford Brimley ''was'' the Quaker Oats guy!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but he didn't dress like a Quaker, he just was like, the pitchman, standing in a kitchen, making breakfast.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No no, I'm with the King on this one. Wilford Brimley would hatch from his cocoon, covered in oatmeal and then say his famous catchphrase.
:'''KING OF TOWN:''' Di-a-betus!

*At the end, click on Strong Mad:
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad, how come both your costumes in this cartoon gotta be like, ''{wiggling his arms in disgust}'' medically naked?
:'''STRONG MAD''': YOU LEAVE MY BREAD BASKET OUT OF THIS!
:''{his nose buzzer goes off}''

*At the end, click on Strong Sad:
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{accented}'' A-Guillermo, can you check and see if Stephen Pearcy from Ratt is still in my torture chamber?
:''{graphic comes in from the side of Stephen Pearcy and a rat from the Vampire's Castle Disk 4 of 12 in a torture chamber}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, master. Can you make me a vampire now?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' BAT!
:''{Strong Mad's hair flutters and flies off his head like a bat, and falls back on}''

*At the end, click on Bubs:
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Corporate accounts payable, Marzipan speaking. Just a moment. Corporate accounts payable, Marzipan speaking. Just a moment.
:'''BUBS:''' PC Load Letter?
:'''COACH Z:''' PC Lourde Letter?
:''{A printer labeled "PC Lourde Letter" falls on Homsar}''

*At the end, click on the Poopsmith:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Poopsmith, I really like your evil Tron costume.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, that{{--}} that is literally what he is. That was like, a real character in a movie.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean that doesn't count as one of my delightful misinterpretations?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, your description was dead-on. You blew it this time, Homestar.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Awww, end of line. Like, this is the end, of my line of dialogue. Thank you.

*At the end, click on Homestar:
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, Homestar, let's get this over with. Just say the line.

==YouTube Version==
[[File:YT Autoplay - Top Ten Piles.png|thumb|I don't believe it! I won't believe it!]]
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "This year's new Halloween cartoon is an old Halloween cartoon with new DLC!"
*In the "Later That Night" segment, the pumpkin and skull that activated Easter eggs have been removed.
*The Easter eggs are played in the order of:
**The Cheat
**Coach Z
**Pom Pom
**The King of Town
**Strong Mad
**Strong Sad
**Bubs
**The Poopsmith
**Homestar Runner
**Homsar
**Marzipan
**Strong Bad
*After the costume Easter eggs, a blue box appears saying "The End". The screen then fades out to a fake autoplay of "TOP TEN PILES! (You Won't Believe #7)", then the other Easter eggs play in the order of:
**Yellow Bathyscaphe
**Old-Timey
**Original Costumes
*Afterwards, another blue box appears reading "The For-Real-Actual-End-I-Promise DLC".

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"DLC" ({{w|downloadable content}}) is additional content created for already released media (usually a video game), distributed online by the publisher.
*"Nerfing" in gaming terminology refers to a game element being weakened either through patching or in-game debuffs.
*"Death Clock" is a mispronunciation of {{w|Deathlok}}, a cyborg character from [[Marvel]] comics, possibly conflated with fictional band {{w|Dethklok}}.
*The URL is [[HR:toons/ween22|toons/ween22]], breaking the norm of current URLs.

===Trivia===
*This is the earliest that a full-length Halloween toon has been released.
*Using the dimensions Coach Z has listed, a fridge that is 36 inches wide and 65 inches tall would have to be about 2 feet deep to hold 28 cubic feet of storage.
*Strong Bad calls Strong Sad a "[[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgments|walkin' Homestar Runner Wiki]]" at the beginning of the "Later That Night" segment.
*This toon has fifteen clickable Easter eggs, the most of any toon to date.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says, "Oh, brother!" as he takes over the story. In the original, it was an expression of annoyance with Marzipan, but this time, the person he takes over from ''is'' his brother.
*Because The Cheat and Strong Mad's replacement parts of the story don't introduce any living characters, the Visor Robot doesn't actually kill anyone with his vapor-gun.
*Because of recycled audio clips, Strong Bad still refers to the fridge as a Gremlin.
*Strong Bad does not have the human nose during the Later That Night segment.
*Contrary to the claims of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad, Coach Z had never dressed as a member of [[Run-DMC]] before.
**Coach Z [[3 Times Halloween Funjob Costumes|dressed up as Kool Moe Dee]] in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob|2003]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig Costumes|as Theo Huxtable]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|2005]].
*While not a clickable Easter egg, Homsar's appearance in this toon is once again tied to something related to the Poopsmith; in this case appearing in the pool where the Poopsmith is bobbing for pumpkins.
*Several of the characters' updated costumes are directly analogous to their previous costumes:
**Coach Z is yet another rapper.
**Both of Strong Mad's costumes are, "like, medically naked."
**The King of Town is again a cereal mascot; {{w|Cap'n Crunch}} cereal is manufactured by {{w|Quaker Oats Company}}.
**The Cheat is a cartoon cat character: {{w|Garfield}} in the original and Riff-Raff from ''{{w|Heathcliff (1984 TV series)|Heathcliff}}'' in the remake.
**The Poopsmith is a variation of {{w|List of Tron characters#Tron 2|Tron}}.
**Pom Pom is a food-related mascot.
*As Strong Sad would have said, the segment where the characters would discuss their costumes after the cartoon ended began with [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], the second Halloween cartoon.
**Also as Strong Sad points out, Coach Z's costume in both this toon and Homestarloween Party [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Fingers|have fingers]], while he normally has mitten hands.
*At least three costumes are from media that debuted after Homestarloween Party: Dr. Crygor (2003), Guillermo (2019), and Rinzler (2010).
*Homestar calls Marzipan "Ringo" (a different member of the [[Beatles]] than she is dressed up as), and she responds by spoofing the lyrics of "{{w|Yellow Submarine (song)|Yellow Submarine}}", a song that featured {{w|Ringo Starr}} on lead vocals.
*In addition to the costume pack, this toon differs from Homestarloween Party in the following ways:
**The song that Homestar sings when walking past Coach Z is changed (''see'' [[#Real-World References|Real-World References]]).
**The scene where Marzipan tries to get everybody to stand boy-girl-boy-girl and ends up standing next to Strong Bad is cut.
**Homsar is added to the cartoon.
**Marzipan and Pom Pom's additions to the story are cut completely, despite the download bar calling it an expansion.

== Goofs ==
*Strong Bad's yellow glove turns blue for one frame.

===Inside References===
*The [[Homestar Quiz]], in its question asking what The Cheat's costume was in the original toon, gave Heathcliff as an option, alongside the correct answer of Garfield.
*The options for nerfing the King of Town are "Yes" and "Very Yes", the latter of which calls back to the error message in [[virus]].
*Homestar's costume spouts, and Strong Bad makes a meta reference to, [[blood]].
**Such a reference to blood was previously made in the DVD commentary for [[diorama]].
*The [[YouTube:L4zyy_NzKww|music]] that plays during the upgraded Goblin dance is taken from [[Most in the Graveyard]].
*During his segment of the story, Coach Z uses the phrase "[[you know, the kind]]..."
*The Cheat's segment in the story is bulging full of [[severed body parts]].
*Strong Bad getting a human nose may be a reference to [[licensed]], where it is one of the requirements for licensed unlicensed Strong Bad and The Cheat knock-offs.
*The song that plays in Strong Bad's Easter egg is a sped-up version of "Stave It Off 1, 2, 3", the song that the Stave It Off Guy sang in his debut in [[for kids]].
*"The Homestar Runners and the Yellow Bathyscaphe" is a callback to "The Homestar Runner and the Bathyscaphe" from [[Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold]].
*The song from the Storybook Easter egg is a Beatles-style cover of the theme song from [[Super NES]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
*The King of Town's comment regarding Pom Pom's costume uses the "[[more like]]" construction, and mentions [[cheese]].
*The YouTube autoplay preview references [[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]].
*Homsar's association with the [[Heavy Lourde]] is referenced, as is his being a "song from the '60s" (a reference to the email [[interview]]). Strong Bad also [[Impersonations of Other Characters|imitates him]] when providing the aforementioned phrase.
*Strong Bad calls back to Stephen Pearcy from [[Ratt]] being in his torture chamber in [[Disk 4 of 12 - Vampire's Castle]].
*The "downloading DLC" sound effect is the counterpoint to the "[[Everybody Everybody]]" song.
*"Backstagèd boogie" is an instance of [[-èd]].
*The Homestarloween version of Homestar pronounces "costume" in a drawn-out manner with wavering pitch similar to how he pronounces certain phrases in very early toons, such as his pronunciation of "Strong Bad" in [[The Reddest Radish]].

===Real-World References===
*The designs of the various notification boxes that pop up throughout the toon are modeled after those of {{w|Valve Corporation|Valve}}'s digital distribution service {{w|Steam (service)|Steam}}.
*Homestar's "Cheatcliff" song is based on the first lines of the [[YouTube:9LLb8EBU9nQ|opening theme]] of ''{{w|Heathcliff (1984 TV series)|Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats}}''.
*Homestar raps to the chorus of "{{w|It's Tricky}}" by [[Run-DMC]] to Coach Z.
**Referencing Run-DMC and {{w|Aerosmith}}'s connection via "{{w|Walk This Way#Run-DMC/Aerosmith version|Walk This Way}}", "Arrow Smith" is a pun on the latter band's name. Old-Timey Strong Bad also paraphrases [https://genius.com/3386737 a line] from "{{w|Sweet Emotion}}".
**The Old Timey Easter egg may be a reference to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wchqfLA5d0 a certain scene] in the 1974 {{w|Mel Brooks}} film ''{{w|Young Frankenstein}}'', which reportedly inspired the aforementioned Aerosmith song.
*The "disco guy" from ''[[Nintendo|WarioWare]]'' is [https://www.mariowiki.com/Jimmy_T Jimmy T].
*Strong Bad's Easter egg is like a WarioWare microgame where the bomb timer appears at the bottom of the screen. Strong Bad similarly laughs like Wario.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] have [[WarioWare D.I.Y. Compilation|shown off several actual Homestar-themed microgames]] made with ''{{wp|WarioWare D.I.Y.}}''
*Strong Sad's line during the Strong Sad Easter egg is an impression of Nandor, a vampire and Guillermo's master in the TV series ''{{w|What We Do in the Shadows (TV series)|What We Do in the Shadows}}''.
**Strong Mad's line is an additional ''What We Do in the Shadows'' reference, since another vampire in the show, Laszlo, always calls out "Bat!" before transforming into a bat.
*Marzipan's line during the Bubs Easter egg is a reference to Nina from ''[[Office Space]]'', who repeatedly says the same thing with her own name.
*"{{w|PC LOAD LETTER}}" is an additional ''Office Space'' reference, a printer error message that consistently frustrated office employee Michael Bolton.
*{{w|Twinkie The Kid}}, who Homestar identifies Pom Pom's costume as, is the official mascot of Twinkies, created by Hostess in 1971.
*The King of Town's line in the Pom Pom Easter egg is almost exactly "{{w|Time for Timer|I Hanker For A Hunk O' Cheese}}", the title of the first PSA featuring Timer.
*"[[YouTube:0rqB3jbhn1M|It's the right thing to do and a tasty way to do it]]" was one of the variants of {{w|Wilford Brimley}}'s {{w|Quaker Oats}} sign-off slogans.
*Homestar's line during the King of Town Easter egg about "Wilford Brimley hatching from his cocoon" is possibly a reference to {{w|Cocoon (film)|the 1985 film ''Cocoon''}}, which Brimley stars in. This was previously referenced in [[buried]].
*"Diabeetus" is Brimley's [[YouTube:kFIsoq63lwo|oft-memed pronunciation]] of "diabetes"; Brimley suffered from the disorder and spent decades raising awareness of diabetes.
*"[https://whatwilltodaybring.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/20130721-131542.jpg The Yipiyuk]" is a poem from {{w|Shel Silverstein}}'s ''{{w|Where the Sidewalk Ends}}''.
*Marzipan growing a large white beard during the Homestar Runners and the Yellow {{w|Bathyscaphe}} Easter egg is a reference to the "When I'm Sixty Four" sequence in the film ''{{w|Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine}}''.
*Homestar compares Marzipan’s costume to {{w|Sonny Bono}} in a ''[[Hanna-Barbera|Scooby-Doo]]'' episode with "a pink and green cotton candy monster".
**Said monster appeared in ''{{w|Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed}}''.
**Sonny Bono appeared with his then-wife {{w|Cher}} in season 1 of ''{{w|The New Scooby-Doo Movies}}''.
*"Mr. Shumway, tear down this wall" is a parody of a famous quote from {{w|Tear down this wall!|a 1987 speech}} by then-US President Ronald Reagan, imploring Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall.
**"Mr. Shumway" is reference to Gordon Shumway, {{w|ALF (character)|ALF}}'s full name. The "dad from ALF" was named Mr. Tanner. The Ochmoneks were their nosy next-door neighbors.
*In the Homestarloween Party costumes Easter egg, Strong Bad taunts Homestar with a reference to "{{w|Smells Like Teen Spirit}}", {{w|Nirvana}}'s signature song.

===Fast Forward===
*An actual DLC was released for the previous year's game, [[Halloween Hide & Seek]], later that month.

Email FAQ

MeowMeow — Sun, 28 May 2023 00:32:08 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Trivia */

[[Image:faq.png|thumb|right|320px|Frequently asked questions, and their answers]]

The '''Email FAQ''' was a {{w|FAQ|frequently asked questions}} page for [[homestarrunner.com]] based on the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu from the [[Compy 386]] era. It contains questions concerning then-unreleased merchandise, such as the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVDs, [[Kick The Cheat]] dolls, and additional sets of [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|figurines]].

As of February 14, 2005 (or earlier), this page no longer exists on the site and has been replaced with [[FAQ|an updated version]].

'''Date:''' Saturday, January 17, 2004 or earlier

'''Page Title:''' Email Menu - It's maybe just for email againymore!

== Transcript ==

''{{{Film|Strong Bad}} is at the Compy. He greets the viewer with one of the following lines at random:}''

*'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right, I'll load this up for you. But hurry up! I'm working on a Trogdor text adventure.

*'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right, I'll load this up for you. But hurry up! I want to play my new copy of "Duck Guardian 2". ''{holds up the game's box}''

*'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right, I'll load this up for you. But hurry up! I gotta balance my checkbook. The Cheat made some unexpected expenditures.

''{As this is said, he types "c:\>faq.txt", which causes the following to load:}''

== Frequently Asked Questions (now quit buggin me!) ==
'''Q: Are the emails Strong Bad answers real?''' 
A: Yup, all of them come from real people. He gets thousands of emails a day so that's why he hasn't picked yours. Keep trying, though. 
''('''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, I can't believe you asked that. You, my friend, are a part of the problem.)''

'''Q: Where are [[A Jumping Jack Contest|Jumping Jacks]] and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand|the wrestling one]]?''' 
A: They had to be removed from the site temporarily. They'll be back up some day.

'''Q: Where are the old cartoons and emails that aren't on the site anymore?''' ''(shortened to "Where are the old cartoons and emails?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: Check the [[museum]] section of the site, just click the H*R logo on any of the [[main pages]]. Every Strong Bad Email we've ever done is on the site. The clips from the '[[Personal Favorites]]' emails were just made up. Twas a joke. Oh, and that 'Old Emails' button on some older emails button is an outdated button.

'''Q: Who does the voices on ya'lls site?''' 
A: [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] does all the voices except [[Marzipan]], that's [[Missy Palmer|Missy]]. [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] does the voices when [[The Cheat]] makes [[Powered by The Cheat|cartoons]].

'''Q: What software do you use to make your Flash cartoons? How do you record your sound?''' ''(shortened to "What software do you use to make your toons?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: You kinda answered that one yourself. We use [[Flash|Macromedia Flash]] to make our Flash cartoons. You can download a free trial at [http://www.macromedia.com/ Macromedia.com]. For Flash help, try out [http://flashkit.com/index.shtml Flashkit.com] or buy one of the Visual Quickstart Guide books on Flash. As for sound, we run a microphone through a USB preamp and record in an old version of Cool Edit Pro. 
''('''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you can hardly see me through all of this text. {lowers voice and tries to see around text} I'm back here. Aah, the text is attacking my head.)'' 

'''Q: When does the DVD come out?''' 
A: Sometime in 2004. We keep putting more and more stuff on it so you'll like it more. But hopefully it'll be the first half of 2004

'''Q: Why won't the [[Joy of Painting]] cartoon work on the Toons menu?''' ''(shortened to "Why won't the Joy of Painting cartoon work?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: Easy. It's not a cartoon. Just a little easter egg to show you Marzipan with a beard.

'''Q: Where does '[[Fhqwhgads]]' come from?''' 
A: From the Strong Bad Email called '[[i love you]].' The Cheat also made [[Everybody to the Limit|a music video]] bout it. Look in our Shorts section. 
''('''STRONG BAD:''' You didn't know that? What, have you been living under a rock... that doesn't have Internet access?)'' 

'''Q: You should put [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and Strong Bad on a TV show!!''' ''(altered to "You should put Homestar and Strong Bad on TV" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: No thanks.

'''Q: You dudes use {{w|Microsoft Windows|Windows}} or {{w|Mac (computer)|Macs}}?''' 
A: We use Windows machines except for some video editing. We do that on a Mac.

'''Q: [[Why come]] I don't get any updates? I signed up!''' ''(shortened to "Why come I don't get any updates?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: We stopped sending updates because we pretty much update every week. Mostly on Mondays.

'''Q: Some cartoons won't load on my 'puter! What's up?''' ''(shortened to "Some cartoons won't load on my 'puter!" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: Download the latest free Flash player from Macromedia.com. That usually helps.

'''Q: I can never see the latest updates! My computer says '[[the show]]' is the newest email!''' ''(shortened to "I can never see the latest updates!" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: You may need to contact your ISP about refreshing their DNS or something like that. 
''('''STRONG BAD:''' Geez... How much longer are you gonna be? How many questions did you have?)''

'''Q: So is that Homestar [[Puppet Stuff|puppet]] for sale?''' ''(shortened to "Is the puppet for sale?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: Nope, he's one of a kind. [[Kick The Cheat|Talking The Cheat plush dolls]] are on the way though. Early 2004.

'''Q: Are you ever gonna make more [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|figurines]]?''' 
A: Yessir. A 2nd set is in production as we speak. It will feature [[Homsar]], [[The Poopsmith|Poopsmith]], [[The King of Town|The KOT]], Homestar running, and [[new hands|Buckethand Strong Bad with BathTime The Cheat]].

'''Q: Are you guys for hire? Or can you make my friend and/or loved one a special cartoon?''' ''(shortened to "Are you guys for hire?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar]] keeps us so busy that we don't have time for freelance or personlized stuff. Thanks for thinking of us, though.

'''Q: Will you put up a banner or link to my site?''' 
A: Our policy has always been absolutely no advertising. That includes banners, pop-ups, and even links to other sites.

'''Q: So like, is this all you guys do? Like, it's your job and stuff?''' ''(shortened to "Is this what you do for a living?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: Yes, t-shirt sales are good enough that we are able to do this full time. Rock on.

'''Q: That drawing of Homestar in the [[Fan Stuff|fan section]] is NOT [[Michael Jackson]] like you said. Did you know that? Same with that one you said is {{w|Ken Masters|Ken}} from [[Street Fighter]]. You guys are wrong!!''' ''(shortened to "Mistakes on fan art drawings?" in the FAQ body)'' 
A: We know. We've seen the movie and the cartoon. It's a joke. Now leave us alone. 
''('''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I swear, if I got another email asking about this... {makes angry/frustrated noises})''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*Many of the FAQ's questions were taken from a question-and-answer session featuring [[the Brothers Chaps]] at Matt's alma mater [[FSU Talk - 7 Nov 2003|Florida State University on November 7, 2003]].
*The Flash File has exactly [[666]] frames.

=== Remarks ===
*Scrolling up when at the top of the list shows that there is a space above the first question.
*Unlike the more modern Compy-based menus, this FAQ page does not have a draggable scroll bar.
*Technically, Mike also "does the voice" for [[Pom Pom]], via a sound clip of him blowing bubbles through a straw into a glass of milk.
*Despite the policy of not having links to other sites, the [[Email Processing Room]] contained a [[Email Processing Room#Easter Eggs|hidden link]] to "The Rumor", a fansite for {{w|The Band}} run by friends of the Brothers Chaps. The current FAQ corrects this answer by saying that "[they] link to a couple sites here and there but only when it's appropriate."

=== Fast Forward ===
*[[Peasant's Quest]], a [[Trogdor]] (graphical) text adventure, and [[Duck Guardian One]], the predecessor to [[Duck Guardian 2]], were both later released by [[Videlectrix]].

Marzi-Mei

MeowMeow — Sun, 21 May 2023 02:30:18 GMT

MeowMeow: I added some stuff. Changed some stuff.

[[Image:MarziMeiSprite.png|thumb|Marzi-Mei's cutscene sprite]]

'''Marzi-Mei''' is the [[20X6]] version of [[Marzipan]]. She is a humanoid figure with an even stronger hippie design than her original counterpart with ankle length hair, wearing a purple hair band, a purple white trimmed [[wikipedia:Mantle (clothing)#mantelet|mantelet]] and a baggy purple jumpsuit with sleeves and pant legs that completely cover her arms and legs. She wields a 20X6 version of [[Carol]], shaped like a six-pointed flower with a snake curling behind the neck. Carol is now a weapon that fires lasers when strummed.

Her hair color and general dress design resemble those of her present-day counterpart, with the dress pattern now moved to around her ankles in the redesign. Unlike Marzipan, Marzi-Mei has the appearance of having [[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]] [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|and legs]], albeit covered up. In spite of this, she can still strum CarolHer current look was designed by guest artist [[SmallBu Animation Studio|Lindsay Small-Butera]]; design sketches were {{prs|1387158850109943809|27|Apr|2021|alt=later shared on Twitter}}.

In her initial appearance on [[Main Page 17]], she had a humanoid appearance with blue eyes and a long blonde ponytail and wore a purple top, pleated purple miniskirt and pink boots. This design was based on the anime character {{w|Sailor Moon (character)|Sailor Moon}}. Her animation on the Main Page is identical to {{w|Chun-Li}}'s winning pose in ''[[Street Fighter|Street Fighter II]]'', as is her cheer of "[[Wiktionary:yatta#Interjection|Yatta]]!" (a Japanese interjection of excitement, usually translated into "All right!" or "I did it!").

She appears in the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Intro Cinematic|intro cinematic]] of [[Stinkoman 20X6]], flying into the middle of a swarm of enemies before playing a chord on her guitar and sweeping a wave of lasers in a wide circle, destroying them all before posing. In the final cutscene of the game, she appears with [[Cheatball]] to point out that they should be included in a sequel or animated series which Stinkoman interprets as a by-the-numbers request for a challenge, finally revealing her name in the process; she otherwise does not appear and is not mentioned.

Marzi-Mei has the distinction of having the largest gap between debuting and being named of any character in the series; at 17 years, 11 months, and 11 days; or 6555 days total.

Z Sabre

MeowMeow — Sat, 20 May 2023 04:28:21 GMT

MeowMeow: I did some slight rewording.

[[File:ZSabreSprite.png|144px|left|Z Sabre's sprite]]
[[File:ZSabre.png|thumb|250px|"I am wearing a majestic cape and the shoulder thingies are called pauldrons you simpleton!"]]

'''Z Sabre''' is [[Coach Z]]'s [[20X6]] counterpart. He first appeared in the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]]. If the green "Z" power pill is picked up the ship turns into a Coach Z-styled fighter, and the game-describing avatar becomes Z Sabre.

He is the primary antagonist of [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. In the game, he kidnaps [[Pan Pan]] and later [[1-Up]], appearing only as a shadowy figure in cutscenes from [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] onward before revealing himself and acting as [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#Z Sabre|the penultimate boss]] in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|Level 10]], seeking to defeat [[Stinkoman]] and take his title as "The Guy". He also appears in [[Twenty THANXty Six]], still cloaked in shadow while gathering the crystals needed to power his "pet" [[Mecha-Trogador]]. In [[Make-O Your Own Stinko]], Z Sabre's [[silhouette]] sprite is shown.

Like modern-day Coach Z, he has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|no visible mouth]], though he gains one in the ending cutscene of Stinkoman 20X6. However, he does have more expressive eyes, and even has eyebrows, which Coach Z does not have. He is roughly the same height as normal Coach Z, but much bulkier, and his cape and pauldrons cause him to look much larger. Befitting his name, he also carries a long sword with a blade that forms a Z at its end and he wears a belt with a large Z on it as well. Unlike his modern counterpart, he has no known accent but, judging from his choice of battle arena, shares his affinity for [[locker room]]s.

Curiously, the silhouette of Z Sabre that attacks Stinkoman in the penultimate boss fight of Level 10 is referred to as "[[Bubs]]" in the credits.

==Trivia==
*Z Sabre is a reference to both [[Wikipedia:Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] and [[Wikipedia:Sigma (Mega Man X)|Sigma]] from the ''{{wp|Mega Man X}}'' series. His name comes from the former's signature weapon, while his appearance, role in the story, and fighting style are reminiscent of the latter.
*Z Sabre's red cape and pauldrons may also be a reference to {{wp|M. Bison}} from the [[Street Fighter]] series.
*Z Sabre wears the same robot boots as Stinkoman in different colors.
*His Sabre is powerful enough to kill Stinkoman when the latter is not powered up.

Fluffy Puff Mascots

MeowMeow — Sat, 20 May 2023 00:13:08 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Mr. Shmallow */

__NOTOC__
'''[[Fluffy Puff]]''' has employed a number of '''mascots''' over the years.

==Marshie==
[[Image:meet marshie screenshot.png|thumb|150px|"Don'tcha like me?"]]
{{seemain|Marshie}}

'''Marshie''', a large, smiling white marshmallow with a bite taken from its corner, is the general mascot for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. He serves as a caustic and slightly absurd satire of any number of mascots hawking products to children. In particular, his face seems to have been inspired by that of the [[Wikipedia:Kool-Aid Man|Kool-Aid Man]]. He also shares a resemblance to both the [[Wikipedia:Carl's Jr.|Carl's Jr.]]/[[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] [[Wikipedia:Image:Hardee's.png|star]] and the characters on the [http://www.goldenfluff.com/marsh.htm Elyon kosher marshmallows] bag (in particular, the middle one on the bag). His slogan "Made from the best stuff" is taken directly from [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s slogan of "Made from the best stuff on earth".
{{clear}}

==Mr. Shmallow==
[[Image:MrShmallow.png|thumb|right|150px|"LOOK LIVELY!"]]
{{seemain|Mr. Shmallow}}

'''Mr. Shmallow''' is the [[Old-Timey]] version of [[Marshie]]. He is the spokesman for [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights]] and gives the [[The Homestar Runner]] nightmares(according to The Homestar Runner).He has a poncey Back East accent instead of Marshie's smarmy, fey lilt. His [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|grave]] is shown in both [[That a Ghost]] and in [[Malloween Commercial]], posing the idea that the Old-Timey toons actually happened. He has the [[Sound Effects|same walking noise]] as [[Homsar]] and [[Nibbles]] (when he appears to walk on the ends of his cravat), and his hair is used as a wiper for his glasses.
{{clear}}

==Nibbles==
[[Image:nibbles.PNG|thumb|150px|"I make good ear plugs, too."]]
{{seemain|Nibbles}}

'''Nibbles''' is a mini-marshmallow and the mascot for [[Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers]]. He claims to be "one years old." Not only is Nibbles a sugary confection, he supposedly makes good earplugs, too. The existence of Nibbles raises the ire of Fluffy Puff's established mascot, [[Marshie]], causing him to scream "get out of here, you little runt!" at the diminutive confection. Nibbles' walking sound is the [[Sound Effects|same sound]] that [[Homsar]] and [[Mr. Shmallow]] make.

{{clear}}

==Marshie's Mother==
[[Image:Marshie Mother.PNG|thumb|150px|"Just walk away, Mother."]]
'''Marshie's Mother''' has only appeared once, in portrait form. She is an older looking marshmallow woman, with jowls and a bun hairdo. There seems to be some animosity between Marshie and his mother, as Marshie growls "Just walk away, Mother" with his teeth clenched. Interestingly, not only is this line a reference to [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s horror classic, ''[[Wikipedia: Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', but the painting is drawn similarly to the caricature of Hitchcock seen at the start of his television program, ''[[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock Presents|Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]''.

===Complete Filmography===
*'''Debut:''' Email [[retirement]]
{{clear}}

==Gel-arshie==
[[Image:Gel-Arshie.png|thumb|150px|"I'm an abomination! And I'm coming to your house after school!"]]
{{seemain|Gel-arshie}}

'''Gel-arshie''' is the nightmarish mascot for Red Flavored [[Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance]]. He is made of red gelatin dessert, and has a visible [[brain]] floating in the center. Apart from that, he is very similar to [[Marshie]], although his voice is slightly distorted.

MeowMeow:

Hello, MeowMeow here. Make sure you're comfortable, I got some things to say, which I have organized into a Q&A for your convenience.

Q: What do you do to make the Wiki better?

A: I add info to pages that need them. I normally can't do very well with the wording, which is vague sometimes, but the Wiki is a community and I know that someone will come along and make my edits easier to understand. But I'll try to work on the wording issue.

Q: What sort of editing?

A: I don't remove content, add or remove images, or anything like that. What I do is I add information to wiki pages(sometimes stubs) and I like adding things to the Remarks section.
[[File: sterrance.png|right]]
I fix and add links, and I use the talk page for things sometimes. I discovered the cool cheat code on [[Stinkoman 20X6]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]] and put it on [[Stinkoman 20x6 Walkthrough Level 3|the Walkthrough for Level 3]]. Unfortunately, I made the wording vague! It's a shame, because it's a super cool [[The Cheat|cheat]]. If you're reading this, I would [[technology|really appreciate it]] if you went there right now and fixed a little bit, if not all the way. Every little bit helps! I thank you.

I also added [[OldHR:menuswfs/menu_sbemail181.swf|this link]] to [[web comics]]. If you know ANY WAY to get past the [[Neon 404'd|404'd Sign]], please let me know in the talk. Or just fix the [[too cool|thang ding]]. Oh, wait, I was thinking of the wrong thing. I did it right. Oh, never mind. Anyhow, I was frustrated that the preview wasn't there so I added it. You're welcome!

If you're new here, have a good time! Since you're new, be sure to check [[First Time Here?|this]] out. And maybe other HRWiki starter stuff or whatever. I certainly hope you have a [[road trip|jumbo/LARGE]] experience.

Actually, I changed my mind on the whole no images thing. I'll do a bunch.

The '''Dangeresque 3 Mini-Site''' is a promotional site similar to that of promotional movie sites.

'''Date:''' Tuesday, November 11, 2008

'''Defunct:''' Before Tuesday, January 7, 2014

'''Page Title:''' Strong Bad presents Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective

==Site Content==
===Introductory Transcript===
''{The camera starts recording, and the lenses start to focus, revealing it to be the Basement of The Brothers Strong. The camera pans over to Homestar (as Dangeresque Too), Strong Bad (as Dangeresque), and Coach Z (as Renaldo) facing the camera's general direction, with a drawn fire on a piece of cardboard behind them. The Cheat and Marzipan are visible for a brief period of time during the pan. Homestar is holding up a sign for Dangeresque 3, slightly smiling. He walks in place and shakes the sign.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Puts his hands on his hips, and looks over to his right; our left, looking at Homestar}'' What are you doing?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Somewhat whisperingly}'' Shut up! ''{Homestar loses his smile, and Coach Z raises his arms}'' We're rolling!

''{Strong Bad shakes his head. The lights turn off with a heard click.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Still shaking his head, but stops shortly after}'' Here we go!

''{Homestar starts walking in place and Coach Z gets into a walking stance. Shortly afterward a flash occurs, revealing the three, walking in place in front of an actual fire, from what appears to be from an explosion. All the characters are silhouettes. Homestar is not holding the sign anymore, and fire can be seen through the Dangeresque glasses. While all of this occurs, a Dangeresque musical sting plays followed by a loop of the theme. The episode logo appears in the top-right, and menu items appear angled on the bottom, along with two links to the side.}''

===Gameplay Videos===
There are two videos thumbnailed that will bring up a video on the page if clicked, one to the [[Dangeresque 3 Gameplay Clips]], and one blank slot labeled "Coming Soon".

===Meet the Cast===
They are separated every three characters. These are sorted from left to right appearance.

====[[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Strong Bad as Dangeresque in front of the [[Gremlin]]. He has his arms stretched and against the front of the car, and he is standing by his heels.}'' 
A crooked cop (and private investigator) out to 
kick butt and take names. Played by Strong Bad, 
he's an action hero to put the rest to shame.
</blockquote>

====[[Renaldo]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Coach Z as Renaldo is shown talking to Strong Bad (Dangeresque), who is visible in the bottom-right corner. He has his hands on his hips and is right by the window.}'' 
Dangeresque's partner, played by Coach Z. With 
just two weeks until retirement, can he stay alive 
long enough to ride off into the sunset?
</blockquote>

====[[Dangeresque Too]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Homestar Runner as Dangeresque Too is shown in the field, zoomed in on his head. Homestar himself is in the center-left of the shot.}'' 
Dangeresque's sometime other partner, played by 
Homestar Runner. Can he be trusted? 
</blockquote>

====[[Cutesy Buttons]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of Marzipan as Cutesy Buttons is shown holding a conical flask}'' 
The quintessential damsel in distress (much to 
Marzipan's chagrin). Will she and Dangeresque 
ride off into the sunset, or does he have his eye 
on someone else...?
</blockquote>

====[[Perducci]] and [[Killingyouguy]]====
<blockquote>
''{A picture of both of them, Strong Mad as Killingyouguy, and The King of Town as Perducci, from left to right, is shown. Perducci appears that he's about to start dealing cards.}'' 
A criminal mastermind who has crossed Dangeresque 
before and his dimwitted bodyguard, played by the 
King of Town and Strong Mad. The conniving 
Perducci throws a wrench in Dangeresque's plans, 
backed up by 900 pounds of pure evil henchman.
</blockquote>

====[[The Informant]]====
<blockquote>
''{A general picture of Strong Sad as The Informant is shown. The sun is setting in the background.}'' 
A mysterious do-gooder with an unrecognizable 
accent. Played by Strong Sad, the Informant aids 
Dangeresque in his worldwide trek.
</blockquote>

===About Dangeresque 3===
''{The transparent version of the infamous picture of Strong Bad as Dangeresque with the [[Nunchuck Gun]] is shown to the right. The proceeding text is to the left}''
<blockquote>
About Dangeresque 3 
After five years of procrastination, building sets out of old 
fridge boxes, and "creative differences," Strong Bad had finally 
completed the filming of his magnum opus, Dangeresque 3: The 
Criminal Projective.
 
Join Strong Bad and his friends for the movie event of the year. 
This time, you don't just get to watch it{{--}}you get to play it!
 
You play Dangeresque, a dirty cop in pursuit of glory, justice 
(sort of) and big sacks of cash. When a simple job to recover a 
long-lost formula goes wrong, Dangeresque must save the world 
from the diabolical plans of an unhinged madman. Can he stay 
alive long enough to complete his action-packed epic? Looks 
like he's gonna have to jump...
</blockquote>

===Watch Dangeresque 1 and 2===
Two thumbnailed images are shown, which will both pop up [[dangeresque 3]] and [[stunt double]] (respectively) on the same page.

Dangeresque 3 Mini-Site

MeowMeow — Fri, 19 May 2023 02:33:33 GMT

MeowMeow: /* External Links */

[[Image:D3tcp-site.png|300px|thumb|"Shut up! We're rolling!"]]

The '''Dangeresque 3 Mini-Site''' is a promotional site similar to that of promotional movie sites.

'''Date:''' Tuesday, November 11, 2008

'''Defunct:''' Before Tuesday, January 7, 2014

'''Page Title:''' Strong Bad presents Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective

==Site Content==
===Introductory Transcript===
''{The camera starts recording, and the lenses start to focus, revealing it to be the Basement of The Brothers Strong. The camera pans over to Homestar (as Dangeresque Too), Strong Bad (as Dangeresque), and Coach Z (as Renaldo) facing the camera's general direction, with a drawn fire on a piece of cardboard behind them. The Cheat and Marzipan are visible for a brief period of time during the pan. Homestar is holding up a sign for Dangeresque 3, slightly smiling. He walks in place and shakes the sign.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Puts his hands on his hips, and looks over to his right; our left, looking at Homestar}'' What are you doing?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Somewhat whisperingly}'' Shut up! ''{Homestar loses his smile, and Coach Z raises his arms}'' We're rolling!

''{Strong Bad shakes his head. The lights turn off with a heard click.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Still shaking his head, but stops shortly after}'' Here we go!

''{Homestar starts walking in place and Coach Z gets into a walking stance. Shortly afterward a flash occurs, revealing the three, walking in place in front of an actual fire, from what appears to be from an explosion. All the characters are silhouettes. Homestar is not holding the sign anymore, and fire can be seen through the Dangeresque glasses. While all of this occurs, a Dangeresque musical sting plays followed by a loop of the theme. The episode logo appears in the top-right, and menu items appear angled on the bottom, along with two links to the side.}''

There are two videos thumbnailed that will bring up a video on the page if clicked, one to the [[Dangeresque 3 Gameplay Clips]], and one blank slot labeled "Coming Soon".

Talk:Books Defaced By Strong Bad

MeowMeow — Wed, 10 May 2023 00:16:35 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Examples that don't fit, but I feel like showing off anyway */

==Keep?==
Well, obviously not in its current state. It needs a title with proper formatting and a complete overhaul regarding content, but the actual subject matter is something Strong Bad has now done four times. Perhaps it is worth a page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:07, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
:I kind of love the title - it just needs to be capitalized [[Special:Contributions/166.137.90.48|166.137.90.48]] 15:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
::I'm on the fence about the content, and will reserve judgement until it's had a chance to get worked on a bit, but the title is not actually directly descriptive of what he's doing. From the current title, I would expect it to be a page about times he tore books apart (or [[:File:strongmad xmas2010.png|encouraged Strong Mad to do so]]) rather than his "rewrites". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:17, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
:::A better title would perhaps be "Defacement of Books by Strong Bad." The fact that this subject doesn't have a page already is frankly surprising, and it certainly needs one. I move to keep the page and change the title to something else. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 18:59, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
::::And this kind of thinking is why I didn't delete the page outright. Hmm, Strong Bad calls his latest version of this "Strong Bad Butchers the Classics", so maybe "Books Butchered by Strong Bad"? A thought, anyway. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:39, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
:::::Why not actually call it just "Strong Bad Butchers the Classics"? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
::::::Because then we'd need an unnecessary disambiguation page. [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 23:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, I have to agree with anony about "Strong Bad Butchers the Classics" being too similar to [[Strong Bad Classics!]] since that's one of the "names" of the 'toon. I think the names "Strong Bad defacing books" or "Defacement of Books by Strong Bad" are perfectly fine names for the subject. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 12:44, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::::::::I say keep. It's obviously a running gag, but the title needs fixing. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 18:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
::::::::: I have changed the title, and we might need to edit the page a bit more. [[User:Noneoftheaboveorbelow|{{User:Noneoftheaboveorbelow/sig}}]] 12:36, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: Are we gonna get rid of the banner? [[User:Noneoftheaboveorbelow|{{User:Noneoftheaboveorbelow/sig}}]] 07:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::: Consensus says keep and [[User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sandbox#Books Defaced by Strong_Bad|Gfd has a pretty good page on his sandbox]] of what it could look like. Soooo, soon™ - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 19:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

== Examples that don't fit, but I feel like showing off anyway ==

On the subject of Strong Bad's defacement of books, does anyone remember when [[Kick-A-Ball|double side-mouth whisper drafts have been made legal]], [[record book|making breakfast over whatever that record was for]], [[hygiene|defining hygiene as "how close people are willing to stand next to you"]], [[pop-up|providing seconds of non-ripped-apart fun]] for [[The Cheat]] in your life, and [[dictionary|dribbling a little boodroscotch so that the pages will stick together]]. And I'll probably include a little [[coloring]] outside the lines for good measure. And even without a book, it won't stop Strong Bad from shortening an email that was [[long pants|too long, Clanky]] and having The Cheat call tech support and saying he broke the Lappy again.

Well, [[diorama|I say embrace it! I say deface it!]] (But this time we might have to write the actual book). [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 07:15, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:The "I say embrace it! I say deface it!" quote could be used as a top-page quote like on [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices]].
:But anyways, I feel only the "Kick-A-Ball" example fits as a minor defacement, as the other ones are a bit of a stretch in my opinion. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 12:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::Maybe we could do [[User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sandbox#Books Defaced by Strong Bad|this]]... {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 21:15, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

== A Coloring Book is meant for drawing ==
The Limozeen Coloring is meant to be defaced, not to mention the cassette. Does this count? Love to hear your opinion! - {{User:MeowMeow/sig}}

Talk:Kid Speedy

MeowMeow — Tue, 09 May 2023 19:13:30 GMT

MeowMeow: /* New Game? */

{{featuredarticle}}
== Released someday? ==
Does anybody know when this game is being released?

Probably NEVER. -Kinsey

:yeah, just like those 30 billion other videlectrix games that are never gonna come out. It really bugs me how they have those previews but never have the game itself. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 23:25, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::I hate to reply to such an old thread, but somebody's gonna pretty soon. So just for posterity... It was just released. Go figure.
<blockquote>We have had a lot of couple people tell us
that they firmly believe 'Kid Speedy' will
never come out. We Videlectrix types would like to
take this opportunity to spit on those people.
After eating a bunch of Skittles.</blockquote>
::They're talking to you two, Bubsty and Kinsey. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 13:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
:::That is quite hilarious and has made my night. I love you all. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

== Have you noticed ==
If you qualify in all tracks in the single player mode you unlock the "strong sad mode". I'ts probably the same for the multiplayer mode, but I havn't tried that till now. And what magic we might unleash if we even complete both single- and multiplayer mode with strong sad? Who noes..
Cisz [[User:89.53.24.3|89.53.24.3]] 13:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:I finished Strong Sad mode single player, and got the Kid Speedy ending again - it just didn't tell me that I'd unlocked Strong Sad mode, since I already had it. That wasn't worth it. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 18:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

For the fun facts, I don't think that the phrase "wide load" being used to describe someone fat is at all attributed to an episode of the Simpsons, it's been around for a very long time. If anything, it comes from the warning sign put on the backs of very wide vehicles.

== Online? ==

I don't get why when i play online play that everybody else are the fast people. And also, how can it find people '''THAT''' quickly?
: Um 75.18.172.239, I don't think it's actually online.[[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
::Yep. After a thoraugh [sic] check over the actionscript, I found nothing that suggests sending and recieving data from online-related servers. [[User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!|Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!]] 15:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
:Its not online. Didnt you wonder why the other people had names, but you never got to type one in? I'm hoping that that comment was sarcastic.... - DumbMuscle (too lazy/depressed to sign on)
:Rest assured. My comment was indeed sarcastic.
::It reminds me of how the microsoft hearts game says that you're playing on a "network," when really it's just the computer playing. I've seen the "play online" thing elsewhere, but I can't remember where. I thought it was funny.
:::Microsoft Hearts CAN be played with other people over a network, I used to play it back on the Windows 3.11 network in my elementary school computer lab. --[[User:68.10.142.29|68.10.142.29]] 22:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

== Regarding the Simpsons Fun Fact ==

I really don't think that "Wide Loading" is a reference to the Simpsons. Wide load is a common sign used on trucks, and the fact tha the Simpsons used the same joke is merely coincidence...
:As long as we're talking about '''non'''-references: It's terribly inappropriate of me to do so, but I can't help quietly musing that "GOB" ''could'' be an ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development#Characters|Arrested Development]]'' reference... —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, but "Wide Load" is a joke (a cruel one perhaps) that targets overweight people. It says WIDE LOADING because Kid Speedy is overweight, hence the joke applies to him. It is not a reference to the Simpsons, IMO... just because they both use the same type of joke. It is just a reference to that type of joke. Does that make sense? --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 23:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Abdi: The Gob referece seems very reasonable to me, and so I linked it. And now for some ''really'' wild speculation: I wonder whether "Jill" refers to [[Very, Very Little Girl]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

==Extra Fast==
Has anybody ever played, and seen these three extremely fast kids, who speed across the race in about three seconds? They're not the three you usually race, they are there too, but this was weird. It was on Demon Rub after I'd beaten the other seven. {{User:Salty/sig}} 15:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:Those are the runners that are tothe left of the screen when playing the flash file. They don't always appear on Demon Rub, they appear on the eighth track after you complete the other seven. They could appear on the first track if you finish all the other seven "not last". {{User:Steve/sig}} 16:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I think they cheat. I think that podium at the end is for the first, second, and third-place losers.

== No like his style ==

Can "NEB" in one of the online mode names be a reference to [[Nebulon|Neb-1]]? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
:Using a seekbar, it seems that the base name is indeed "NEB1". - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== Cheat ==
Did you know if you go to the flash file.You can skip levels by pressing play.You can unlock strong sad that way faster.

:It's not a cheat, it's a Flash artifact. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== Front Picture ==

The picture we have now isn't from the actual game itself, it's from the Videlectrix catalog. We'll need a new one.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 18:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

==Is It Possible...==

...to actually place higher than 3rd? -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 21:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
:I once got 2nd, but I guess it's pure luck, as the other runners' speed is somewhat random. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
::Keeping the green bar at full all the time isn't necessarily the easiest way to gain on the other runners. When you're ahead of the slowest runner, he runs faster. Once you're behind him, his speed slows down to yours after he pulls ahead to a comfortable distance. I don't believe that technique could be used to come in first, though.
:::It's most likely impossible to get first, but I got second two or three times, but it really is mostly luck. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 04:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
This might go without saying and all, but it's not difficult to come in first with Homestar. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 04:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah. Those three runners cheated.

== The Cheat Mode ==

Has anyone else got The Cheat Mode? --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 13:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I've heard of Strong Sad Mode. How in the world did you unlock The Cheat Mode? --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 16:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

The Cheat mode?!!? [[User:Choco|Choco]] 01:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:Decompiling the Flash file shows no The Cheat sprites. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::That's like asking, "Hey, have you gotten Toad in [[Wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. Melee|SSBM]]?" ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 15:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I've beat Kid Speedy and Strong Sad in both modes and it does not give me anything. If you would care to say how you did it (as I know you don't lie much). [[User:Stongbah|Stongbah]] 21:10, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
::Doriangray, I don't care what bullhonkey you guys use here at the knowledge base, but don't remove my comments. Inside a part of the wall in the loop in the original version and it showed Teh C sprites. I can't find it again or find any use of them in the new version. I saw a single Teh C sprite. Forgot I said anything. --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 19:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
:::(original comment by Dinoshaur, moved from [[#Mom's hair|Mom's hair]]) I decompiled the flash and saw The Cheat sprites in a certain movie clip of the wall in the loop, and I was meaning to say if anyone had got The Cheat mode, I haven't, maybe it's just that it was something removed, sorry for the confusion. --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 11:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)~
:::Wait... Did you decompile it, or see it in the game? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 22:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Dinoshaur: Your original comment was accidentally posted further down, in Mom's hair. Nobody removed it, but I moved it back to this section for you. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

== Mom Speedy ==
Does anybody have a picture of Mom Speedy? [[User:큰 뚱뚱한 분실자|큰 뚱뚱한 분실자]] 14:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

:I won the game, then used it in [[HRFWiki:The Mu's Stinkoman Comics/17|a Stinkoman Sprite Comic that I did]]. If you're interested in one, you can check that one out. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 15:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

::Oh, and there are no Mom Speedy sprites in the game. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 14:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

== Mom's hair ==

Is it just me, or does Mom Speedy's hair change every time you beat it? I could've sworn it was brown before.... {{User:Salty/sig}} 00:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I thought so too. Maybe it was a 1.new fix. [[User:Bub|Bub]] 00:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

== Hybrid Cars ==

I think this new version now makes the third (?) mention of hybrid cars on the website. Does that qualify it as a running gag? Especially since it seems to be associated with Marzipan? First two mentions are: [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]] ("Your subscription to Soy... Bread... Tofu... Hybrid... Cars... Magazine") and [[secret identity]] ([[Scarfgirl]] Magazine). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 15:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Sad loses speed? ==

I never noticed this in the last version of the game, but playing today, it looks like Strong Sad loses speed faster than Kid Speedy. Anyone else notice this? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Seriously!!! ==

They need to make this game be able to save cookies like Stinkoman 20X6!!! {{User:Bassium!/sig}}
: I agree. And, with that being the case, you should be able to choose which character to play (otherwise, you'd only be able to play Homestar after unlocking him.) Ah, well. This is kinda forumish. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

== GOBI ==

Is "GOBI" more likely a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|Gobi Desert]], or the camel named Gobi in the video game ''Banjo-Kazooie''? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:19, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
:I'd go with the desert, considering the camel was probably named for it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

{{featuredarticle}}
I've been long trying to work out how to put in mention of The Cheat/Firebert's recon patrol... I think it could do with mention. I've been thinking something like:
<blockquote>Upon receiving word of the Homestarmy's pending invasion, Strong Bad sent his best operative, The Cheat (or Firebert, as he preferred to be known), to spy on the enemy colonel.</blockquote>
But I can't get anything further than that. Anyone who took a creative writing course wanna adapt my sentence into more? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Recruits or Civilians? ==

Do the [[Tire]], [[Stop Sign]] and [[Cinder Block]] count as part of Strong Bad's army, seeing as they're supposed to be [[Pseudocharacters]], like the [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife]] and [[Frank Bennedetto]]? Or were they just civilians caught up in the fighting? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 14:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:Fine, since no one's answering me, I'll assume that they were civilians since they do not wear uniform or attack anyone. It probably isn't worth adding to the article, since there's nowhere to put it anyway. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

== Tongue in cheek? ==

Is it me, or do we get a little too in-universe. Lines like "It is a bitter irony that Homestar's urge to win was what defeated him." and "Were it not for this error, Strong Bad may never have found out about the planned attack" strike me as odd and out of place. I just think that we are taking this too seriously. Coming from me, the guy who lives and breathes H*R, this is shocking. I just feel that there is some tongue-in-cheek type humor here. Can anyone help me? This article seems different somehow, but I'm at a loss to describe it.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 01:04, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

== Battle Preparation?? ==

Guys, I have a serious problem with that one sentence— "enabling him and Strong Mad to prepare for the invasion by wondering how to play badminton, or whether there exists a 'goodminton'." That's ridiculous. How, in any way, does ''wondering how to play a game'' count as preparing for an invasion, even in the H*R universe? My guess is that Strong Bad just didn't care what Homestar was planning, and was getting ready to play a nice game of badminton with Strong Mad when the Homestarmy showed up. I'm pretty sure his game had nothing to do with the impending attack. Can this be changed to something that makes a lot more sense? {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 04:04, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
:The battle was intentionally ridiculous, and this page is intentionally hilarious. I see no problem with the artistic license of saying exactly what it says. Also, sometimes "prepared for X by doing Y" is used to mean "Y is what they were doing as X approached". Really It's hilarious, and we have so little humor on the wiki, i'd leave it as is. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:23, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

== Opionionated ==

Okay, so, one thing to know about me is that Homestar Runner is my favorite character. And I think this article is too opinionated. It sounds like someone in the Homestarmy wrote this, and I think it should be more neutral. Is anyone else getting the same feeling? Your Homestar RUnner Wiki Editor, {{User:MeowMeow/sig}}

== Awful Food ==

For the miscellaneous bullet:
* Even when he finds he's eating something awful, he still eats it.
Wouldn't this be grouped in with some of the food-related bullets in the Financial section? The fact that he doesn't get promised "three square meals a day" and that he can't afford "money cost" ice cream would imply that he's going to eat awful food for the sake of food. I'm probably just being nitpicky by this point, but I don't know if it's necessarily "miscellaneous". [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 01:54, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

== Coach Z is Here and Queer and we need to fix the list because of it ==

OK, I initially thought that Coach Z was just delusional as a throwaway gag in Garage Sale when he talked about being a mom, but Bubs also brought Coach Z’s apparently functional womb up in Flash is Dead. Is it still one of Coach Z’s problems if the other characters acknowledge that he can have babies? Maybe he’s just trans and it’s never elaborated on?

Also, I’m not really sure that “Asked Homestar to marry him” should be listed under psychological problems. Being bi on its own I sn’t a psychological problem. Maybe move it to the anti-social behavior list? [[Special:Contributions/68.49.74.169|68.49.74.169]] 11:39, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

::I agree, but I think we shouldn't have it listed as a "problem" anyways? Since when is being bi or pan antisocial? -{{User:MeowMeow/sig}}

== Opinionated? ==
Okay, don't get me wrong, I think this page is great. But don't you think this is opinionated? I mean, the page ''is'' titled "Coach Z's Problems".

I like this page, don't get me wrong, but is anyone else getting the same feeling? Your helpful user, {{User:MeowMeow/sig}}

When a character is expecting a response from some audience but none is forthcoming, or when a joke falls flat, typically '''cricket noises''' will be heard cutting through the silence.

''{The toon begins on a shot of what appears to be a large mansion at night.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I don't wanna go in that spooky place, Marzipan! Don't make me go!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Homestar, it'll be fine. Now get in there.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Aw, Marzipan...

''{Homestar lifts an orange curtain and enters with Marzipan (each in their costumes), and it is revealed the mansion was the background of a photo booth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hate these dang old photo boofs. ''{He lifts his bat up and brandishes it at Marzipan, who looks surprised.}'' It's an absolute waste of a perfectly good boof!

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's the crown jewel of my Halloween party! ''{angrily}'' Now look at the camera and make like we're a great couple!

''{She leans in toward Homestar, and they both smile.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sarcastically}'' The laughter and loooove!

''{The screen flashes as a picture is taken. As it fades back in, the characters are posed as though Marzipan is hitting Homestar with his bat.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Carefree shenanigans!

''{The screen flashes again. As it fades back, Marzipan and Homestar are facing each other. Marzipan looks annoyed, but Homestar is smiling.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and MARZIPAN:''' ''{Homestar is elated; Marzipan isn't}'' The one where we kiss. ''{Homestar's buzzer spins.}''

''{Marzipan starts to smile slyly as the picture is taken. Cut to outside the booth, as the pictures are printed. The "kiss" photograph actually shows Homestar kissing his bat with his eyes closed, with Marzipan off to the side, and a ghost-like face is visible in the frame. Homestar takes the pictures.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumps; worried}'' Aah! Marzipan! Why is there a spooky specter in our picture?!

''{He holds it out for Marzipan to see, as the camera zooms in on the ghost-like face for a moment. Cut back to a wide shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think this might be a{{--}} might be a{{--}}

''{The words "PHOTO Boooth" from the side of the booth move into the foreground, as "HAUNTED" is added above them in green letters, as the rest of the scene fades to a blue background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and MARZIPAN:''' {{--}}haunted photo booth!

''{The O's in "Boooth" move up and down as the ghost-like face zooms in with the words and some spooky music plays. Cut to Strong Bad in the booth as Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get in here, you guys! I wanna make this ghost appear! Maybe it'll possess us with demonic barf powers! Everybody say "Smiling bag!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' Smiling bag! 
'''STRONG MAD:''' JACQUES RENAULT! 
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{The screen flashes as the picture is taken. It fades in to the pictures as Strong Bad observes them. The first shows the three characters in the picture as seen before. The ghost is not present.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' There's one...

''{He moves the pictures so that the second is in view. It shows the Strong Mad at the bottom, The Cheat leaning in from the upper-left, and Strong Bad in the upper-right. Still no ghost.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' There's one...

''{He moves the picture so that the third is in view. Now The Cheat is on Strong Mad's shoulder, while Strong Bad is upside-down, and his head is out-of-frame. The ghost isn't in this picture, either.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Okay... ''{loudly}'' Hey! What the crap?!

''{Cut to a wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How come we didn't get no cool ghosties?!

''{Cut to Coach Z off to the side. He's holding pictures, all of which include the ghost.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I got a little ghost jorbie in my pictures!

''{Cut to his middle picture.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there, jorbie!

''{Cut to a wide shot of Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' He reminds me o' one of my famous sneezes! ''{sneezing}'' Ha-chor!

''{Pan to the side, moving Coach Z off the screen and Strong Mad onto it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man! Even Coach Z got one? That's it, boys. We're gonna get haunted by this photo booth at any cost!

''{The toon's title wipes across the screen as it cuts to Strong Bad's gang in the booth again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We gotta try something else. Everybody close your eyes and say, "Jaundiced... Jerry... will never marry," three times.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused expression}'' Huh? 
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{annoyed expression}'' ''{annoyed The Cheat noises}''

''{Their expression remains unchanged as Strong Bad closes his eyes and chants.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jaundiced Jerry will never marry. Jaundiced Jerry will never marry! Jaundiced Jerry will never marry!!

''{A flash, which fades to Strong Bad holding pictures of all three characters in the same poses. In the foreground of each picture is a yellow-skinned balding man with green hair on the sides of his head, but no ghost.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man! We just made Jaundiced Jerry appear. Guess I shoulda seen that comin'.

''{Cut to Coach Z and Bubs in the booth}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, check it out! ''{picks up a top hat photo prop, and places it over his head}'' Somebody finally gave me my props.

''{Flash. The scene doesn't change. Coach Z puts the prop down.}''

'''BUBS:''' When are these props from? Got some Y2K glasses...

''{He holds up the Y2K glasses over his face. Flash. He puts the glasses back down.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh! A handlebrah mustache! ''{He holds a handlebar mustache prop over his face.}'' These things'll never not ironically be unironically... always... um... ''{moves the prop aside, and picks up a bacon prop, which he holds up like a mustache}'' bacon?

''{Flash, which fades to Marzipan and Homestar in the booth again. They're holding a tub of "spicy 'chos", filled with nachos.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and MARZIPAN:''' Spicy nachos!

''{Flash, which fades to Strong Sad in the booth.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' This is a perfect chance to practice my French accent! ''{in a French accent}'' I am Hercule Poirot! ''{Flash. In an even more exaggerated accent:}'' Hercule Poirot! ''{Flash. Even more exaggerated, almost sounding like he's choking:}'' A-cue Pwar-o!

''{Flash, which fades to Homestar in the booth. He closes his eyes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Jaundiced Jerry will never marry. Jaundiced Jerry will never marry! Jaundiced Jerry will never marry!!

''{Flash, which fades to The King of Town. He holds up a slice of cake, which appears to have been cut from out of the King himself. The background music stops abruptly.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' The King of Town!

''{Beat while crickets chirp. Flash, which fades to Strong Bad's gang in the booth again. The background music resumes. Once again, Strong Mad looks confused and The Cheat annoyed. Strong Bad closes his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stabby Gabby's always crabby. Stabby Gabby's always crabby.

''{Flash, which fades to Strong Bad holding up his latest set of photos, which feature a squat green woman holding a knife in her mouth alongside Strong Bad's gang.}''

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

''{Cut to Homestar and Marzipan in the booth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Different background!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yay! Yay yay!

''{Flash, which fades to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith (holding a container of green lumpy material with a gold tooth in it, labelled "10,000 Instant Martians") in the booth. Pom Pom holds up a speech balloon prop that reads "Why are we in this cartoon?" The Poopsmith holds up another, which reads "Don't know. Don't care." Flash, which cuts to Strong Bad's gang in the booth. Again, Strong Mad is confused, The Cheat annoyed, and Strong Bad's eyes closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Demonic barf powers. Demonic barf powers! Demonic barf powers!!

''{Flash, and when it fades back, Strong Bad is kneeling, mostly offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{somewhat desperately}'' Just give me the barf powers!

''{Flash, which fades to a picture of the King of Town and Marzipan holding up the cake slice. The ghost is in the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' The crap?

''{Pan to a picture of Coach Z and a picture of Bubs. The ghost is in both pictures.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' The crap?

''{Pan to a picture of Homestar and Pom Pom. Homestar is making a pursed-lip duck face to the left (away from Pom Pom), and Pom Pom is looking to the right. The ghost is here too.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' The crap?!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How come everybody else can get the haunted smudge to appear except me and The Cheat? You been goin' to church on me, The Cheat?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{shrugs and smiles, revealing his gold tooth is missing, then closes his mouth again}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{squints}'' Wait a minute...

''{Cut to a closeup of The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Where's your gold tooth?

''{The Cheat opens his mouth again, and holds up some candies in orange and black wrappers.}''

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

''{Cut to Strong Bad, as images of the candies appear around his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{echoey voiceover}'' Orange-and-black loose tooth removers...

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad as he starts to realize.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{echoey voiceover}'' Loose tooth removers...

''{Zoom in further, showing the image of the ghost in Strong Bad's eyes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{echoey voiceover}'' Loose tooth removers...

'''STRONG BAD:''' It was the tooth!

''{Cut to a wide shot, showing Homestar leaning in to the shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still echoey}'' Loose tooth removers...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get outta here!

''{Cut to Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if The Cheat's tooth was causing the ghost glare, how did it get in everyone's photos?

''{Cut to Strong Sad, standing near a "Booliten Booard" with various pictures tacked to it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think I has the solution! Look at this pattern!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen, sarcastically}'' Oh, great. ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' Now Frenchie Detective is gonna tell us how it all shook out.

''{Cut to a montage of events against a black background with spooky music, as images of The Cheat eating candies, his tooth stuck in a taffy, and photo booth pictures fly by.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' The Cheat ate too many taffies and it pulled his gold tooth out.

''{The montage shows a close-up of The Cheat closing his eyes and opening his mouth without his gold tooth. Pan up to show an image flying by of The Cheat in the booth, with the candies on the seat, as he closes the curtain. The ghost image also flies by.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Then because those things are nasty, he stuck it somewhere in the photo booth,

''{The montage pans down to The King of Town, who holds up the cake slice, which has the tooth in it. He takes a bite of the cake.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' and because The King of Town is nasty, he ate the taffy!

''{Pom Pom and The Poopsmith move into view, the tooth in the Poopsmith's "Instant Martians" prop.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Then the Poopsmith had it.

''{Flash. The montage shows a photo of Marzipan and the ghost, with the tooth attached to Marzipan's costume.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Then it was a piece of Marzipan's flair.

''{The fez from Bubs's costume floats by, the tooth inside the crescent symbol.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, partially overlapping the last line}'' Then it wound up on Bubs's fez.

''{The buttons of Strong Sad's costume appears in closeup}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, the lines overlap more}'' ...one of my vest buttons...

''{Coach Z's shoe and Homestar's bat appear}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, overlapping}'' ...on Coach Z's shoe! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, overlapping}'' ...Homestar's glowing bat!

''{A photo of Strong Mad, with the ghost present and the tooth wedged in Strong Mad's mask, appears}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, overlapping}'' ...tenaciously clenched!

''{Abrupt cut to Strong Bad, Homestar, and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's all great, Sir Talks-A-Lot, but where's his gold tooth now?

''{Cut to the photo booth. The Goblin's theme plays as some pictures of the Goblin (with the ghost present) print. The booth opens, showing that the Goblin has the tooth in his own mouth.}''

'''ALL:''' The Goblin!

''{The Goblin dances (without music) as the tooth shines audibly, with an image of the ghost. Cut to the main characters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We shoulda had known! ''{turns around, facing everyone}'' Now let's all cram in that boof ''{cut to the front of Homestar}'' for a group photo before I have to return it to the wedding Marzipan had me steal it from!

''{Everyone cheers. Flash, which fades to a picture of everyone (except Homsar, but including the Goblin, who still has the tooth in his mouth) and the image of the ghost in the corner. The photo is captioned "Jerry & Gabby's Nascent Nupitals! 10-31-2017" Hold on the image for a few seconds, and then cut to an image of the tooth resting on the word "END", with the ghost image faintly visible in the blue background. A few seconds later, cut to everyone in the field per tradition.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Jaundice|Jaundice]] is a condition where the skin becomes unusually yellow due to the build-up of bilirubin, a waste product of old blood that has been filtered and broken down by the liver.
*Strong Bad's idea that yelling out a name three times in a row might reveal a ghost comes from a legend that suggests saying certain specters' names in front of a mirror three times in a row ("[[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary]]" for instance) will cause said spirits to appear in the mirror.

===Trivia===
[[File:HiddenBackground.png|thumb|Hidden background! Yay yay yay!]]
*With a twenty-four-day gap, this toon marks the longest span of time between the release of a [[Halloween teaser]] and the release of the toon itself.
*There are a total of thirteen Easter eggs in this cartoon, the largest number in any Homestar Runner toon until 2019's Halloween toon, [[The Homestar Runner Enters The Spooky Woods]].
*This is the first Halloween toon in which every character activates an Easter egg in the ending scene, if Homsar is not activated.
*This is the only Halloween toon in which there is a cutaway during a costume Easter egg.
*Behind the forest photograph background, there is another background hidden in the Flash file.
*Marzipan has eight pieces of flair on her costume, two of which are identical (the white pin reading "ZING!").
*Though the idea that Homsar was raised by a cup of [[coffee]] has come up multiple times (including Strong Bad imitating Homsar in [[interview]]), this is the first time Homsar has [[tvtropes:Main/BeamMeUpScotty|actually said it]].
*Strong Bad's Bob costume marks the third Halloween toon in a row in which a character's costume was inspired by the creative output of David Lynch. The Cheat dressed as Lynch's "The Angriest Dog in the World" in [[Later That Night...]] and the Poopsmith dressed as Feyd-Rautha, as depicted in Lynch's adaptation of ''Dune'', for [[The House that Gave Sucky Tricks]]. It is the fourth time overall that a character has dressed in a Lynch-inspired costume, following Marzipan's turn as the Log Lady in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "When the character Marzipan rents a haunted photo booth for her Halloween party for characters... other characters get involved!"

===Remarks===
*Strong Mad is included in Strong Sad's description of the tooth's journey despite having only been shown taking pictures with Strong Bad and The Cheat.
*The tooth doesn't actually appear in any of the places Strong Sad mentions other than The Poopsmith's jar of Instant Martians.
*Strong Sad [[Nationality Confusion|uses a French accent]] when Poirot was in fact Walloon, a citizen of the French-speaking part of Belgium.
*Bubs's costume includes [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|ears and a nose]].
*Both Pom Pom and the King of Town [[Cross-dressing|dress up as females]].
*[[Duplicate Characters|Six copies of The Poopsmith]] appear in his Easter egg.

===Glitches===
*After Coach Z gives one of his famous sneezes, he has an extra forearm for one frame.

===Inside References===
*The photo booth's printer makes [[New Paper]]'s "vvvvvt" sound.
*Ghost photography was a source of Awesomeness in [[8-Bit Is Enough]].
*One of Marzipan's flairs reads "[[Cheese|cheez]] pleez".
*Strong Bad hopes to gain "[[demon]]ic [[Puking|barf]] powers".
*[[Mustaches]] and [[bacon]] are props in the photo booth.
*Strong Sad practices his [[French]] accent, Bubs tells Soos's abuelita ([[Spanish]] for "grandma") to shut up, and the King of Town asks Pom Pom why he couldn't have dressed up as the [[German]] kid.
*[[Cricket Noises|Crickets chirp]] when the King gets his photo taken.
*The orange and black candies were previously referred to as "loose tooth remover" candies in [[Happy Hallow-Day]].
*Strong Sad says "I think I has the solution", a statement first uttered by Homestar in [[In Search of the Yello Dello]]. Strong Sad complained about the bad grammar used in the [[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary|commentary]]. The phrase was also uttered by Strong Bad in [[little questions]].
*Strong Sad explaining everything and Strong Bad calling him a nerd for it calls back to [[unnatural]].
*According to Strong Sad, the King of Town [[Eating Non-Food Items|ate]] [[The Cheat's gold tooth]]. The mention of the Poopsmith acquiring it immediately after suggests [[Whatsit]].
*Homestar says "we [[Redundancy|shoulda had]] known".
*Homsar's [[Reversed Dialogue|backwards-speaking]] scene is similar to the Easter egg in [[alternate universe]], in which Homestar speaks the same way against a red curtain. Unlike in that Easter egg, it seems that here, Matt Chapman created the effect by [[:File:CupOfCoffee.ogg|recording Homsar's line backwards]].
*Marzipan is complimented on her [[Double Deuce|invisible flair deuce]], a reference to what her character does in the film [[Office Space]] when she quits her job.
*Homestar mistakes his own costume for "[[Mark Lemke]]: Homestar Runner for the [[Atlanta Braves|Braves]]". This is a direct reference to the real-world origin of Homestar Runner's name.
*Homestar refers to himself as both "wrong-say" Homestar and "right-say" Homestar, using an [[Noun-Verb|adjective and verb in succession]].
*Like in [[Later That Night...]], a [[Odd Marriages|wedding of minor characters]] takes place inside the realm of the [[Jibblies Painting]].

===Real-World References===
*Homsar mentions Toast Crunch as one of his photo-lines, relating to the [[cereal]] [[wikipedia:Cinnamon Toast Crunch|Cinnamon Toast Crunch]].
*Bubs's "shut up" line is aimed at Soos's abuelita (Spanish for grandmother). This was a character in ''[[Wikipedia:Gravity Falls|Gravity Falls]]'' voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].
*Strong Bad's "How's Annie?" line references the ending of the season 2 finale of ''[[Twin Peaks]]''. Homsar's following cut scene presents him in the show's infamous Black Lodge and dressed as The Man From Another Place, who speaks in the same backwards style throughout the series. Strong Bad's line "Everybody say 'Smiling bag!'" is also a reference to the show; one of The Giant's clues to Agent Cooper is "There is a man in a smiling bag." Jacques Renault, whom Strong Mad names, is a character from this show.
*The "German kid" the King of Town refers to in Pom Pom's Easter egg is Augustus Gloop, another character from [[Wikipedia:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]. He is an obsessive eater, much like the King of Town. He wound up falling into a literal river of chocolate and drawn into a pipe leading to a fudge processor.
*Strong Sad thoroughly explains that everyone had the gold tooth at one point. In [[wikipedia:Murder on the Orient Express|Murder on the Orient Express]] by Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot makes a similar deduction that all the passengers on the train are related to the murder case.
*Coach Z's Easter egg invokes the catchphrase of Parappa the Rapper ("I gotta believe"), the basis of his costume. He follows this by referencing the first stage of the original ''Parappa the Rapper'' game, in which the titular character must perform and simultaneously vocalize a series of karate moves. He also echoes the introduction given by the character Chop Chop Master Onion ("Kick, punch, it’s all in the mind!").
*Homsar's first saying in his Easter egg is "Zapruder", referencing the infamous [[Wikipedia:Zapruder film|Zapruder film]] which captured the assassination of [[President]] [[Wikipedia:John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]].
*The Cheat's Easter egg at the end references his costume's origin, the Nintendo DS game Scribblenauts. In the game, Maxwell can type various words in the DS Touchscreen to summon objects to help him with various puzzles in the same manner The Cheat summons the large gold tooth he used to crush Homestar. The tooth is even drawn in the same art style.
*The Heimlich maneuver is a first aid procedure used to treat choking by foreign objects.
*A photo "boof" appears in the [[Two More Eggs]] episode "Dooble: Peas and Corn".
*The "demonic barf powers" Strong Bad hopes the haunted photo booth will give him are likely a reference to the character of Regan MacNeil from [[Wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]], who was possessed by a demonic entity named Pazuzu.

===Fast Forward===
*In the following Halloween toon, [[Mr. Poofers Must Die]]:
**The ghost glare returns in the form of streamers decorating Marzipan's living room.
**Bubs again dresses up as an animated businessman named Stan.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Sad's costume in the Catacombs is a [[wikipedia:Motion capture#Optical: Passive Markers|passive optical marker motion capture suit]], or at least an approximation of one. It is similar to the "motion capture suit" worn by [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Sample Of Style Too]].
*Dangeresque Too's answer when asked about the trinket ("The doctor is his MOTHER!") is the solution to a [[wikipedia:Situation puzzle|lateral-thinking conundrum]]. The conundrum goes "a boy and his father stalled their car on a set of train tracks. A train hit the car, killing the father and wounding the boy. When the boy was taken to the hospital, the doctor on duty exclaimed "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!" How can this be?"
*A "romcom" is a [[wikipedia:Romantic comedy|romantic comedy]].
*"Post", mentioned when Dangeresque first meets the monster in the catacombs, refers to [[wikipedia:Post-production|post-production]].
*Pick-ups are minor shots filmed during post-production in order to augment footage already filmed.
*The Irish Informant's name, Cecil van Gough, combines Cecil, a common first name in Ireland, with [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]], an artist {{--}} which makes his job as an art critic unsurprising.
*The Tokyo Informant's name, Stoolie Rat Weasel, is a hint. A stoolie (stool pigeon) is an informant, rat is also informally used to mean an informant, and weasel is informally used to mean a deceitful person. (The presence of Perducci's bullet in Tokyo is also a hint, among other things.)
*An "[[Wikipedia:Uzi|Uzi]]" is a type of submachine gun, and a "[[Wikipedia:Bazooka|bazooka]]" is a type of rocket launcher.

===Trivia===
*This is the first episode of SBCG4AP where the House of Strong cannot be navigated, and it is the first episode not to have a [[Teen Girl Squad]] comic.
*This is also the first SBCG4AP in which [[Mike Chapman]] does a voice, namely the voice of Craig.
*If he catches her during the stand-off on the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, Uzi Bazooka calls Cutesy Buttons "[[Missy Palmer|Missy]]".
*A blooper from this game of Bubs' line "Oh, you know him more than you know that you know that you know... him... or somethin'." was put on the website as [[Quote of the Week]] on 11th September 2008, just over two months before the game's release.
*Strong Bad had said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would be in 3D. However, it was depicted as an [[Wikipedia:anaglyph image|anaglyph image]] rather than a [[Wikipedia:computer generated image|computer generated image]].
*The end credits for the movie itself read:
<blockquote>
Written and directed by Strong Bad 
 
Dangeresque -- Strong Bad 
Dangeresque Too -- Homestar Runner 
DADgeresque - Senor Cardgage 
Renaldo -- Coach Z 
Perducci -- The King of Town 
Diamonocle -- Bubs 
Cutesy Buttons -- Marzipan 
Sultry Buttons -- Marzipan 
Killingyouguy -- Himself 
Buncha Dopey Informants -- El Dumpo the Wide 
Craig -- The Cheat 
 
All Stunts by Strong Bad 
 
'Today is Alright 4 2nite' 
Written and performed by Strong Bad 
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*If the preview is watched following the end credits of [[Baddest of the Bands]], The Stick appears in the background behind Bubs' stand, still covered in toilet paper. Watching the preview from the main menu, however, does not show The Stick at all.
*Strong Bad's nunchuck gun is a revolver. Revolvers don't "jam".
*It took Strong Bad over 4 1/2 years to complete this "blockbuster", as [[dangeresque 3]] marked the 114th day of production.
*In the tutorial for this episode, Strong Bad wears the Dangeresque shades throughout most of it, taking them off at Bubs' Concession Stand.
*The smoky office has the shark pond and picket fence just outside the window, suggesting it should be located in the center of the Field, probably behind the camera as Strong Bad walks around. However, shots across the Field, over characters' shoulders, show nothing there.
*After being threatened to be transferred to "Nerd Prison", Bubs pronounces Dangeresque's name correctly despite typically pronouncing it "Danger-skew".
*When the monster is revealed in the catacombs, Strong Bad says "Holy Cra," but after the pause, he says "-rap." So he said "Holy Crarap."
*The King of Town, against his word in his last line in the film as Perducci, does not attend the premiere.
*All of the "exotic locales" at the stone bridge are cities except for "Ireland", a country.
*If you try to give the Diet Brown to Marzipan, Dangeresque uses the pronoun "he" for Marzipan, even though she uses the pronouns she/her.

===Goofs===
*When the player selects the podium in Ireland and Strong Bad starts talking about how he busted up a ring of counterfeit three-leaf-thousand dollar bills, the subtitles say "butsed" instead of "busted".
*The [[Lappy 486]] has a black outline in this episode, instead of it being colored as in every other appearance.
*If Dangeresque looks out the window after Cutesy Buttons gets kidnapped, the video of Marzipan watching Credenza in the shark pond will play, except without the animation of Marzipan. Afterward, her filler lines will play even though she is not present.
*In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there.
*The "Renaldo Fun Sheets" is actually a pillowcase.
*In the opening to the car chase scene, as Strong Bad speaks the line "Make it snappy, Yellow 5!", The Cheat runs backwards twice without returning to the front in between. This is because the game loads the following scene involving Strong Mad when the first scene just had The Cheat and the car.
*Sometimes when Dangeresque checks emails, his trademark glasses are not visible in his reflection on the Lappy's screen. Occasionally, Strong Bad's reflection will not appear at all.
*Experimento's list of ingredients on the black board calls for a "bubbly drink", but characters always read it as "bubbly liquid".
*Though the characters always refer to Experimento as being a Professor, the mouse-over text for him calls him Doctor.
*Look at the chair in the night time dream sequence office, and Dangeresque will comment on how you can "see [his] butt print worn on the chair." However, the subtitles misspell butt as but.
*After telling Sultry Buttons he'll shower her with jewels, Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) says "...I'm never gonna go" but the subtitles read "...I'm never going to go to".
*In the ending scene in the basement, Marzipan does not say "required", but the subtitles include the word.
*One of the emails will remain labeled as "unread" even after Strong Bad reads it.
*If Dangeresque goes directly to Venice after the car chase scene without going to Experimento's lab, and talks to the informant, Sultry Buttons will be an option even though Dangeresque doesn't know about her being a jewel thief yet.
*If Dangeresque plays the Ace of Spaces on Perducci whilst holding the rock, Perducci will somehow pull ''another'' rock. Dangeresque will have the opportunity to grab it, but he will not gain another rock nor lose the one he already had.

====PC Version====
*According to [https://community.telltalegames.com/discussion/comment/100539/#Comment_100539 a thread on the Telltale Games community], the PC version misses one costume item (the "big hair"). This is due to an oversight, as the costume item was enabled on default in the Wii version, but not on the PC version.

====Wii Version====
*The manual page in the catacombs area is unobtainable in extended play.
*In extended play mode, the rollover for Cutesy Buttons reads "Cutest Buttons".
*The Informant says there are four of them altogether, but the text reads "all together"
*If Dangeresque uses the oil slick 2 times, every time he uses a voice command, Killingyouguy (Strong Mad) will regain his balance even though there is no oil to slip on. This can be undone by grabbing the sawmerang (which can be obtained by using the voice commands).

===Glitches===
*On occasion, the moving objects in [[Space Circus Catastrophe]] will disappear.
*Sometimes, Dangeresque's nunchuck gun will appear floating in Venice.
*The metal detector reacts at every world location, but Perducci's bullet can only be found at Tokyo (in standard play) and Venice (in extended play). In addition, it continues to react even after Perducci's bullet has been found.
*If the cereal box was acquired from the Stick during standard play, the extra can of Diet Brown on the table in the Office during extended play simply vanishes shortly after Strong Bad's introduction.
*The disk box is missing from the Secret Lab during extended play.
*Clicking the window right after retrieving Credenza causes Marzipan to continue speaking (i.e. "Hang in there Credenza!"), which continues even after she leaves.
*At most times, the buttons located at the top of the screen will move up and stay there making the player unable to pull up the map or inventory or snappy or main menu even by pressing the hot key. This glitch can be fixed if there is an exit located at the map. If not, then the player needs to reset the game.
*When asleep in Extended Play, looking at the chair in the [[Smoky Office]] will afterwards cause Dangeresque's glasses to appear on him again, even if the player had changed Dangeresque's costume.
*Sometimes for some unknown reason on the PC version of the game, at the very beginning when Dangeresque pulls out the diamond, the computer will restart.
*Sometimes when freeing Renaldo in extended play, the costume items Strong Bad is wearing will hover in the air. Then, when it cuts back to Strong Bad, he will be wearing a second pair of Dangeresque glasses. This can be fixed by leaving the sun base.
*If Dangeresque pours the formula on The Stick to make the cereal box appear and then exits and re-enters The Field without picking it up, the cereal box will appear floating over the Shark Pond.
*In the car chase scene, sometimes when it cuts to Killingyouguy after he is attacked, the tree will keep moving without The Cheat carrying it.
*In the PS3 version, the on-screen instructions for Space Circus Catastrophe state that the Square button will launch a rescue bubble. In actuality, the Circle button launches the bubble, and the Square button launches a bomb.
*Rarely, the game will lose its previous "position" in the GSPTK (map) when it is next opened. This can allow access to locations that are not supposed to be available yet, such as the Space Station at the very beginning of the game.

===Inside References===
*The two pieces of art in Dangeresque's office depict Strong Sad's dragon from [[dragon]], and the "Deutsch Master" painting from [[portrait]].
**Additionally, the painting that Perducci carries with him throughout the movie is the [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife]].
*Diet Brown originated in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]].
*Several references are made to previous SBCG4AP episodes. Notably:
**Coach Z's stunt double was a potted plant that appeared in the King of Town's castle in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**The autopilot in the car was Bubs' security robot in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**When Strong Sad acts as Homestar's stunt double, he wears the float head Strong Bad used in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**One of Homestar's "demands" was a million dollars in quesos, which was the Strong Badian currency in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
**''Food Related Love'', as performed by Pomstar in [[Baddest of the Bands]], is re-used as backing music at Cutesy's House.
**In extended play, inspecting the skulls in the catacombs will have Strong Bad reveal that they're the same ones Marzipan made for Strong Mad's short-lived Country in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
**The joystick control for the helicopter set is the pogo stick used for the Race to the End of the Race in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**Strong Bad's line "Do you have any fruit to declare?" when interrogating one of the City Limits signs at Brainblow City is a repeat of one of Homestar's lines at Marzistar in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*In the opening, a billboard can be seen advertising for [[The Pizz]] from [[pizza joint]].
*When in Strong Borneo, Dangeresque and Renaldo use the [[Riverquest Safariventure]] box from [[theme park]]. During extended play, Strong Bad will acknowledge this, even going as far as mentioning the email itself.
*Strong Bad's line "Oh, so ''that's'' why you don't dance no more" mimics a line from [[New Boots]].
*Strong Sad's line, "Only that I am not one of his minions," is from [[dangeresque 3]].
*In extended play, Strong Bad mentions that one of the matte paintings was painted by a guy named [[Matt Chapman|Matt]].
*Strong Bad twice refers to a drink as being not a [[Cold One]], and once mentions Cold Ones specifically.
*When speaking to Renaldo at his retirement party, Renaldo mentions [[suntan|cocoa butter]].
*Many of Strong Bad's lines when putting on clothing in the [[Snap Shak]] are slightly-paraphrased quotes from [[modeling]].
*Strong Bad's "rhinociraptors" is a [[portmanteau]] of "rhinoceros" and "velociraptors".
*Strong Bad mentions that Perducci smells of mints and [[gravy]], a reference to the ice cream flavors seen in the King of Town's castle in [[the bet]].
*One of the onions in Cutesy Buttons's enriched garden is [[Onion Bubs]].
*Strong Bad refers to Dadgeresque as being [[crazy go nuts|crazy go insane]].
*The Cheat's speech in the game's climax had a reference to the [[Action Cool 5]] news team.

===Real-World References===
*The format of the text in the opening credits is the same as the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Lethal Weapon|Lethal Weapon]]''.
**When the player points the nunchuck gun at Dangeresque Too, he asks, "Do you want to get crazy? Oh, I'll get crazy!" Mel Gibson's character Martin Riggs says something very similar in ''Lethal Weapon''.
*In responding to the first email, Dangeresque says that in basic training at Crooked Cop Academy "you learn how to make cool noises with your mouth". This is a reference [[Wikipedia:Michael Winslow|Michael Winslow]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Police Academy (franchise)|Police Academy]]'' character Sgt. Larvell "Motor Mouth" Jones.
*The videotape of the villain brushing The Cheat's hair while his face is hidden references [[James Bond]] villain [[Wikipedia:Ernst Stavro Blofeld|Ernst Stavro Blofeld]].
*Dangeresque misunderstands Perducci's game of rock, paper, [[Wikipedia:Baccarat|Baccarat]], as "Rocks, Papers and [[Wikipedia:Burt Bacharach|Burt Bacharach]]".
*When Perducci plays the Ace of Spades, Dangeresque says it in a similar sounding way to the chorus of the [[Wikipedia:Motorhead|Motorhead]] song "[[Wikipedia:Ace of Spades (song)|Ace of Spades]]".
*The "time card" in Perducci's game is for ''Embarrassing Idol'', one of the shows being filmed at the TV studio in [[Wikipedia:Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam and Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]. The card itself comes from [[Wikipedia:Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam and Max Episode 204: Chariot of the Dogs]].
**If Dangeresque uses the phone in his office, one of the responses involves Dangeresque getting a call from the Commissioner, asking him to do something "to a rabbit", and Dangeresque telling him "You got the wrong number", another reference to the ''Sam and Max'' franchise: the Freelance Police received most of their assignments over the phone from "the Commissioner".
**One of the backgrounds in the Snap Shak is for Sam & Max's office building and Bosco's Inconvenience Store.
**The drawing of the Office also looks almost exactly like Sam & Max's building, including the two-tone siding and the rounded windows.
*Dangeresque shouts "Another boot to the head, and one for Jenny and The Wimp!" as he fights the Bear Holding a Shark, a reference to [[Wikipedia:Last Will and Temperament|"Last Will and Temperament"]], a skit by The Frantics where various heirs in a will get "boots to the head".
*The term "a Jessica Tandy joint" refers to the British-American actress, [[Wikipedia:Jessica Tandy|Jessica Alice Tandy]] and director [[Wikipedia:Spike Lee|Spike Lee]], who uses the credit "A Spike Lee Joint" rather than the typical "A Spike Lee Film."
*When preparing to go to the sun, Strong Bad uses the phrase "It's dark and I'm wearing sunglasses", a quote from the 1980 movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Blues Brothers (film)|The Blues Brothers]]''.

MeowMeow: /* Spamming */

[[Image:Wanted.PNG|thumb|Strong Bad's Wanted Poster]]
Over the course of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work [[Strong Bad]] has committed several '''crimes and misdemeanors'''. He often operates alone in his criminal acts, but is also frequently aided by either [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], or both. Oftentimes, he also gets help from [[Bubs]], albeit more [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices|subtly]]. He has been punished or caught while committing several crimes, and as a result has [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|spent some time in jail]]. Strong Bad's criminal repertoire is long and diverse, ranging from petty misdemeanors, such as [[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|prank calls]], to major crimes, including kidnapping, extortion and attempted murder.

*[[I Killed Pom Pom]] {{--}} When Homestar freaks out from thinking he killed Pom Pom, Strong Bad takes advantage of his gullibility by instructing him to first dispose of the "body" (which is actually a deflated pumpkin balloon), and then find a patsy to blame for the "murder", all in exchange for sixteen dozen maple bismarcks. He then has the real Pom Pom play a "vengeful spirit" prank on Homestar to scare the latter into confessing to the "murder", before (unwittingly) providing Homestar with the pointy chin from his costume's mask for the latter to use to kill Pom Pom with.

He then attaches a bleach bottle to one arm of the [[Limozeen]] cardboard cutout, which dumps the bleach into the pond and kills all of the fish in it, while planting a billy club on the cutout's other arm to give the allusion of Limozeen hitting the [[Blubbo's Whale]] with the club.

Talk:Coach Z's Problems

MeowMeow — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 03:51:38 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Coach Z is Here and Queer and we need to fix the list because of it */

{{featuredarticle}}

== Consensus of Creation? ==

Was there ever a consensus—or even a discussion— to separate this from [[Coach Z]]? Personally, I'm '''neutral''' to whether this page should stand on it's own, but it just seems odd that nothing was discussed before separating it. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 01:07, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
:There was not. I personally think it's probably long enough for it to be separate. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
::I could probably go either way. It's a distinct enough topic that linking to a separate page is probably easier than linking to a section, so I'm fine with leaving it on its own page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
:::I'm with DeFender. It's long enough to stay as it is. [[User:SteakStyles|SteakStyles]] 20:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Hand-Eye Coordination? ==

i dont think that having bad hand-eye coordination is really a medical condition. theres lots of people out there with no hand-eye cooridination whatsoever. [[User:SteakStyles|SteakStyles]]
:It's certainly a problem though, especially for a coach... I wouldn't mind it being moved to a more appropriate section. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
::none of them see to really fit, though. [[User:SteakStyles|SteakStyles]]
:::Miscellaneous doesn't fit? Isn't that what it's for? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
::::yeah i guess that could work. [[User:SteakStyles|SteakStyles]] 12:52, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== Color Blindness ==
In [[Fall Float Parade]] Coach Z said Strong Sad was yellow! Is he color blind or something? I mean, he doesn't look yellow to me. [[Special:Contributions/72.161.149.114|72.161.149.114]] 23:03, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

== Awful Food ==

For the miscellaneous bullet:
* Even when he finds he's eating something awful, he still eats it.
Wouldn't this be grouped in with some of the food-related bullets in the Financial section? The fact that he doesn't get promised "three square meals a day" and that he can't afford "money cost" ice cream would imply that he's going to eat awful food for the sake of food. I'm probably just being nitpicky by this point, but I don't know if it's necessarily "miscellaneous". [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 01:54, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

== Coach Z is Here and Queer and we need to fix the list because of it ==

OK, I initially thought that Coach Z was just delusional as a throwaway gag in Garage Sale when he talked about being a mom, but Bubs also brought Coach Z’s apparently functional womb up in Flash is Dead. Is it still one of Coach Z’s problems if the other characters acknowledge that he can have babies? Maybe he’s just trans and it’s never elaborated on?

Also, I’m not really sure that “Asked Homestar to marry him” should be listed under psychological problems. Being bi on its own I sn’t a psychological problem. Maybe move it to the anti-social behavior list? [[Special:Contributions/68.49.74.169|68.49.74.169]] 11:39, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

:I'm sure the subject of Coach Z's alleged reproductive capacities is merely a gag but asking Homestar to marry him should be moved. [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 14:27, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

== Opinionated? ==
Okay, don't get me wrong, I think this page is great. But don't you think this is opinionated? I mean, the page ''is'' titled "Coach Z's Problems". And I'm pretty sure that, apart from talk pages and user pages, we are NOT supposed to put opinions in pages in the Homestar Runner Wiki. I like this page, don't get me wrong, but is anyone else getting the same feeling? Your helpful user, {{User:MeowMeow/sig}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! The email!

''{He sits at the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, look guys. I don't have a lotta time. I'm kind of in the middle of something and I really can't explain. I'll try and do an email ''{he types strongbad_email.exe}'' real quick-a-like.

''{He runs off. Coach Z and Bubs walk in. Their heads have been swapped, and thus are now Coach B and Zubs.}'' [[#Footnote|[1]]]

== Using Show Preview ==
Hello MeowMeow, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I know about that. Thanks for making sure I did, though! Also, I haven't been welcomed yet, so thanks for visiting my page!

Your friend,
MeowMeow
:You know about it, but you're still not using it. The rest of us don't need to see how many tries it took you to correctly format a link. I used the show preview button several times writing this. (Incidentally, if you put |right in the picture, like <nowiki>[[File:sterrance.png|right]]</nowiki>, it will right justify like I think you were trying to do earlier.) {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 05:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have proof that you were in fan stumes 2022? Like... an image of the tweet or some other confirming evidence?

== Replying to older posts on talk pages ==

Hello MeowMeow,

I noticed you recently replied to a few topics on [[Talk:Marzipan]]. Although joining in active discussions can be helpful, it's not that useful to reply after a certain time. For example, you commented in threads from '''[[Talk:Marzipan#Marzy's Debut|2006]] or [[Talk:Marzipan#Cat, Dog, Same Room|2009]]''', both well over a decade old. There are a couple reasons to avoid replying to long-inactive threads:
* People might have found an answer on their own, not remember what they were talking about, or have changed their opinion in the meantime.
* The users in the discussion could no longer be active on the wiki, and won't see your reply to their question. Since the site is over 20 years old (and is much less active than in the '00s) many HRWiki users have stopped posting over time. In this case, you replied to users who haven't logged in in fourteen years.
* A lot of users (like me!) browse "Recent changes" to find active discussions. But excessive replies to off-topic threads are just distracting, since the discussion won't pick back up after such a long time.
Of course, an older article can always be updated with new information. But if you're looking to contribute to a discussion, just make sure it's reasonably active beforehand. You can also start a new topic if you have new information relevant to something brought up by an inactive user.

Hope that helps! --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 18:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, awesome wiki users! This is [[User:MeowMeow|MeowMeow]] here, and frankly, you all make some good points. But I want to point out that this feels like it deserves it's own page. This is ''basically'' the equivalent of that place [[Strong Bad]] was in during [[for kids]] and ''that'' isn't questioned, is it? Besides, there are more important things, like preventing wiki trolls. Happy editing, [[User:MeowMeow]]
:That's a good comparison, since that place doesn't have its own page either. (Also, changing unneeded pages to redirects and preventing wiki trolls aren't mutually exclusive.) {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 01:33, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

I don't think the page should be deleated. I think that by using the name that Private Martin came up with is a very good idea, since it fits the page far better. I think that this page does have potential, since violence between the two characters is something notable in the Homestar Runner Canon. Don't deleat it, just change the subject a little and rename it.
-Sbu

That sophisticated remark makes me think you should get a username, people would love you. But back on track. While this page ''does'' have a bit of potential, there really aren't many appearances. I think it's just kind of useless. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:19, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Not enough appearances? Have you seen some of the other running gags on the list? Some are so obscure, I didn't even notice them! I mean, if somebody made a page about Melonade as a running gag, even though it has only made ''four'' appearances, would you agree with them? Anyway, I agree with Sbu there; the violence between H*R and SB is worth acknowledging.

I see your point Robot Fish, but the emnity between Homestar and Strong Bad is of Particular importance. It always has been and always will be and is a "Founding Father" (Father of Confederation for the Canadian fans) of sorts for what Homestar Runner is today. It was toons about the conflict between these two characters that helped to kickstart the site. This page should be kept, but if you insist on deleating it, then at the very least move the subject matter to Homestar's character page. And finally, thanks for your support Private!-Sbu

No problem Sbu. I'd add something else, but that powerful comment is pretty... powerful? as a side note, thanks for acknowledging us Canadian fans.-[[User: Private Martin of the Homestarmy]]

Another thing, how does this debate we're having work? Who decides whether or not to keep the page, and how?-[[User: Private Martin of the Homestarmy]]
:A general consensus of the community decides the page's fate. Also, we have a similar page: [[Strong Bad hurting Strong Sad]]. If we can keep that, we can keep this, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I say keep it. It's germane to the whole H*R phenomenon. It's the keystone of the whole freakin' operation. [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] 04:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:To echo DorianGray's response, generally content is kept until it is deemed that a majority of the users in good standing feel it should go. We try to err on keeping material rather deleting it except when it's some ambiguos "real-world reference" that is too ify.

I don't particularly want to have a position on whether it should stay or not, but let's say that if it does, it should definitely have some work done. For instance, at the moment, the first two lines of text are fine, and factual. The third is confusing and/or just plain wrong, and the fourth meanders ponderously through speculation. Perhaps the aforementioned [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad]] could be taken as a model? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I have an idea. I think we should move this article to '''Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's telationship''', and there it would list moments in which Homestar and Strong Bad fight, moments in which they're mean to each other and moments in which they're nice to each other. "There is a continuous emnity between Homestar Runner and Strong Bad, although Homestar often doesn't recognize it" — that phrase is pure [[Wikipedia:Fanon (fiction)|fanon]], as is the rest of the current article. I also think an article on The Cheat and Marzipan's Relationship is in order. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

==Underlings?==
I think it's an example of Homestar and Strong Bad getting along when he grills for him and calls him a "chumpian" and Homestar calls him a "grillmasta." Also Strong Bad mentions going out to eat at a Mexican Restaurant with Homestar two weeks ago (in condiments), as though they hang out occasionally in a social setting. Maybe they are getting along better since Date Night?
:Well, evidencing that "chumpion" likely comes from "chump", I'd say they're not getting along THAT well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== The "8 bit is enough" friendship thing is debatable.. ==

I mean, strong bad just though he was annoying. He said he "had to free homestar, or he would have home-spam for the rest of his life". I think he was freeing him to get rid of him getting all up in his beeaazznusss.

Talk:Strong Sad and Marzipan's Relationship

MeowMeow — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 02:08:41 GMT

MeowMeow: /* Assumptions? */

Should this page be titled "Marzipan and Strong Sad's Relationship" or "Strong Sad and Marzipan's Relationship"? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:Does it matter? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
::Not at all.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I'd rate their relationship as "Questionably friends" since half the time Marzipan either wants him to put a cork in it or go away, but Marzipan seems more friendly to him than Pom Pom does to Homestar & Marzipan is like Strong Bad in that she just sorta disaprooves of & looks down on everyone.

== Assumptions? ==
Are we ''sure'' calming Strong Sad was Marzipan's reason for filming his [[Character Video]]? She tried some techniques to make SS less nervous, but how do we know that she was the only available person to film it or summat? If I am just misreading this, then can we make it more clear? There's some good potential in this and I think it's worth discussing. Does anyone else feel the same way? Your helpful wiki editor, {{User:MeowMeow/sig}}.
:That's a good point, I've rephrased it to be less speculative. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 01:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

== And Strong Sad ==

Has anyone else noticed how much better the relationship between Marzipan and Strong Sad has got recently? While before she would often treat him with nothing more than polite contempt, it seems that now they actually generally enjoy each others company, on many occassions spending time exclusively together. Indeed, these days if Marzipan is shown in an exclusive social situation she is more often than not with Strong Sad.

Could it be that the two are, dare I say it, ''friends''?? [[User:194.80.32.12|194.80.32.12]] 19:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

== Hot Item ==

Is there a particular way to find out on what days Marzipan will say she and Homestar are a hot item and which days she won't? --[[User:Super Martyo Brother|The snitch 2]] 05:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

== Unnamed Girl ==

If [[Unnamed Girl]] is a main character on H*R, why aren't the girls in [[Teen Girl Squad]] also main characters? Should the reference to her in "...the only female main character on the site (excepting the ''Unnamed Girl'' and Marzipan's 20x6 and 1936 counterparts)" be taken out? --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 16:31, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I beleive the reason for that is that the girls in Teen Girl Squad live in their own universe apart for the H*R world (except for the glitch in [[virus]]). On the other hand the Unnamed Girl interacts with Homestar and Strong Bad in her appearances as if she was part of their world.
:Moreover, I think it should be important to mention that the fact that Marzipan is the only girl, is likely a parody on the Smurfs. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:13, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Her Name ==

Where do you think TBC got the idea to name her [[Marzipan]]? It's a very unusual name, and I have never heard it ever before in my life. Was it just made up or did they name her after somebody?

:[[wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:04, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
* I saw some of those when I was in Mexico several weeks ago. I didn't know they were real either. I was with someone who wanted to buy them as candies saying they were "little marzipans." They really were in the general shape of her body, so I asked her if she watched H*R and she asked me what that was. It was equally shocking to me that there existed such a thing with the name "Marzipan." [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]] 18:19, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

its a german treat pronounced motsapon i know cause im german. heimstern look at my profile cause i cant access your my talk page--[[User:Valf|Valf]] 00:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

* Marzipan is kind of like iceing, it is made of almonds and you put it on cakes. I'm amazed you guys have never heard of it! Maybe it's a European thing.

* Actually, it is more often used for candy figurines (such as animals or fruits). It's very popular around both Christmas and Easter. Sometimes it's used as a filling for chocolate treats as well. Also, in my region, you pronounce it more like "Mah-tsee-pahn".

== Smurfs ==

There is a minor mistake in the fun facts selection. It says that the only female smurf was Smurfette. Sassette was also a female smurf and was a pretty common character.

Since this comment from a month ago hasn't been addressed, I'll go ahead and make a tentative change noting that Smurfette was not the only female Smurf. Smurfette and Sassette were created by magic (the former by Gargamel, the latter by the younger Smurfs), but my memory can't recall if Nanny Smurf has an origin story or if it was just left unexplained. I'll also make it a bit more ambiguous as to whether Marzipan is the only female in the Homestar universe, while noting she's the only main character who is female. Feel free to clean up or revert my edit, as I'm still a wiki neophyte. [[User:Wiggy|Wiggy]] 16:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:Whatcha tickin' bot; you did a great job of it. '''But'''... Why is this fact there at all? Did TBC ever say anything in an interview or commentary or the like linking her to the Smurfs? (That seems to lurk at the back of my mind.) 'Cause otherwise this is an acute case of [[HRWiki:Glossary#T|TTATOT]]; it's as relevent as observing that [[Wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles#"TMNT: The Next Mutation" Series|Venus de Milo]] was the only female Turtle. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

== A Crush on Strong Bad? ==

I think that Marzipan has a seceret crush on Strong Bad.
I know in the email marzipan, she said she doesen't, but she's probobly too shy to tell Strong Bad she likes him.
What do you think?

== Vegetarian or vegan? ==

Does anyone know whether Marzipan is only vegetarian, or is she a vegan? Vegan seems more in line with her animal rights activism, but I've only seen references to her being a vegetarian. I started wondering about this after watching [[Strong Bad is in Jail]] - I wondered if her baklava was vegan or not (since honey is not vegan, but not all baklava is made with honey). --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 14:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Good question.and kinda good self-answer.but if she's a Vegitarian, why did she even ACCEPT the sammich Homestar brought her in "Where's the Cheat?"I'm pretty sure he put meat on that thing.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Gir007-Zaak

Hey, Gir007, have you ever heard of a ''veggie'' burger? Besides, I'm sure that Marzipan wouldn't even have any meat in her kitchen, so Homestar wouldn't screw up like that.

:Thing is though, it did have mayonnaise on it, if I'm not mistaken. Whether it was made of marshmallows or eggs, it's not vegan.

There is also the issue of marshmallows. As a Vegetarian or Vegan Marzipan should avoid foods containing gelatin. I think a note to this point should be put on the character page.

== Marzy's Debut ==
Hey, random question, but does anyone know chronologically the first voiced appearance of Marzipan?
:The first one would probably be [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]], which was in Autumn 2000. [[Homestarloween Party]] was shortly after that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

</blockquote>

A reply to this conversation: Marzipan's nature is pretty much that of a hippie, and hippies are liberal by definition. And a reply to Darth Katana X: "newbie"-ness has nothing to do with how long you've been around - it has much more to do with your attitude and the way you treat other users. If you act like a newbie and you are rude to people (especially when it's unnecessary and uncalled for), you'll get called a newbie/troll/whatever, and treated as such.

== A blinking goof? ==

I don't know how recent this is, but I've noticed a little issue with Marzipan's eyes when she blinks. I saw this in Weclome Back, and I think I've noticed it in less recent toons. Is this information worth being put somewhere on the wiki, or is it too unnoticeable to matter?

:Quote taken from the article: "... taught a "kindergarten" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and Homsar as her students in coloring."

Does anyone know how often Marzipan blinks? i noticed in [[helium]] that it's less often than homestar does, but idk either of their times between blinks (or how often any of the characters that blink do, for that matter). {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== Can we fix this? ==

Could we fix that problem with the article for the character being with a capital "M" and the sbemail being with a lowecase "m"? Could we make the sbemail's name "Marzipan (Sbemail)"? So that way when you type in "marzipan", it doesn't take you right to the sbemail instead of the character (same thing with Pom Pom). Can we just do that? It'd be easier. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 22:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

== And Strong Sad ==

Has anyone else noticed how much better the relationship between Marzipan and Strong Sad has got recently? While before she would often treat him with nothing more than polite contempt, it seems that now they actually generally enjoy each others company, on many occassions spending time exclusively together. Indeed, these days if Marzipan is shown in an exclusive social situation she is more often than not with Strong Sad.

Could it be that the two are, dare I say it, ''friends''?? [[User:194.80.32.12|194.80.32.12]] 19:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

If [[Unnamed Girl]] is a main character on H*R, why aren't the girls in [[Teen Girl Squad]] also main characters?

:I beleive the reason for that is that the girls in Teen Girl Squad live in their own universe apart for the H*R world (except for the glitch in [[virus]]). On the other hand the Unnamed Girl interacts with Homestar and Strong Bad in her appearances as if she was part of their world.
:Moreover, I think it should be important to mention that the fact that Marzipan is the only girl, is likely a parody on the Smurfs. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:13, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Her Name ==

Where do you think TBC got the idea to name her [[Marzipan]]? It's a very unusual name, and I have never heard it ever before in my life. Was it just made up or did they name her after somebody?

* I saw some of those when I was in Mexico several weeks ago. I didn't know they were real either. I was with someone who wanted to buy them as candies saying they were "little marzipans." They really were in the general shape of her body, so I asked her if she watched H*R and she asked me what that was. It was equally shocking to me that there existed such a thing with the name "Marzipan." [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]] 18:19, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

its a german treat pronounced motsapon i know cause im german. heimstern look at my profile cause i cant access your my talk page--[[User:Valf|Valf]] 00:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

* Marzipan is kind of like iceing, it is made of almonds and you put it on cakes. I'm amazed you guys have never heard of it! Maybe it's a European thing.

* Actually, it is more often used for candy figurines (such as animals or fruits). It's very popular around both Christmas and Easter. Sometimes it's used as a filling for chocolate treats as well. Also, in my region, you pronounce it more like "Mah-tsee-pahn".

== Smurfs ==

There is a minor mistake in the fun facts selection. It says that the only female smurf was Smurfette. Sassette was also a female smurf and was a pretty common character.

Since this comment from a month ago hasn't been addressed, I'll go ahead and make a tentative change noting that Smurfette was not the only female Smurf. Smurfette and Sassette were created by magic (the former by Gargamel, the latter by the younger Smurfs), but my memory can't recall if Nanny Smurf has an origin story or if it was just left unexplained. I'll also make it a bit more ambiguous as to whether Marzipan is the only female in the Homestar universe, while noting she's the only main character who is female. Feel free to clean up or revert my edit, as I'm still a wiki neophyte. [[User:Wiggy|Wiggy]] 16:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:Whatcha tickin' bot; you did a great job of it. '''But'''... Why is this fact there at all? Did TBC ever say anything in an interview or commentary or the like linking her to the Smurfs? (That seems to lurk at the back of my mind.)

== A Crush on Strong Bad? ==

I think that Marzipan has a seceret crush on Strong Bad.

== Vegetarian or vegan? ==

Does anyone know whether Marzipan is only vegetarian, or is she a vegan? Vegan seems more in line with her animal rights activism, but I've only seen references to her being a vegetarian. I started wondering about this after watching [[Strong Bad is in Jail]] - I wondered if her baklava was vegan or not (since honey is not vegan, but not all baklava is made with honey). --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 14:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Gir007, have you ever heard of a ''veggie'' burger? Besides, I'm sure that Marzipan wouldn't even have any meat in her kitchen, so Homestar wouldn't screw up like that.

:Thing is though, it did have mayonnaise on it, if I'm not mistaken. Whether it was made of marshmallows or eggs, it's not vegan.

There is also the issue of marshmallows. As a Vegetarian or Vegan Marzipan should avoid foods containing gelatin. I think a note to this point should be put on the character page.

== Marzy's Debut ==

A reply to this conversation: Marzipan's nature is pretty much that of a hippie, and hippies are liberal by definition. And a reply to Darth Katana X: "newbie"-ness has nothing to do with how long you've been around - it has much more to do with your attitude and the way you treat other users. If you act like a newbie and you are rude to people (especially when it's unnecessary and uncalled for), you'll get called a newbie/troll/whatever, and treated as such.

== A blinking goof? ==

I don't know how recent this is, but I've noticed a little issue with Marzipan's eyes when she blinks. I saw this in Weclome Back, and I think I've noticed it in less recent toons. Is this information worth being put somewhere on the wiki, or is it too unnoticeable to matter?

How does it work? Is it "Today we are not" on certain days, and "Today we are" on certain other days? I watched it twice just now, and both time I got "today we are not."--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 18:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

== Change everything to short hair? ==

Marzipan lost her hair in [[keep cool]], and we saw that she had a ponytail in [[retirement B]], so why don't we use that image?

== Boo! ==

Hmmm... I just watched her video transcript 16 times — 8 where Marzi says they '''are''' going out, 8 when she says they '''aren't'''. Of those times, I could only get H*R to respond with the '''same''' answer twice. Both times, it was a double "Boo"! I couldn't get him to say a double "yay" though. I dunno. Maybe I zoned out or something. If no one else can get the same answer from him, you can fix that last sentence in the "Video Transcript" portion... I'll keep trying though (I could listen to H*'s "Boo" all day! although I'm sick of hearing about those darn chinchillas!: ) ) Sorry for this... {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 21:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

And on a couple of occasions the site refers to Marzipan as a broom but she denies this. So what is Marzipan (I actually dont know what the rest of the characters are but lets just focus on Marzipan.)?

:Quote taken from the article: "... taught a "kindergarten" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and Homsar as her students in coloring."

== Random Question ==

Does anyone know how often Marzipan blinks? i noticed in [[helium]] that it's less often than homestar does, but idk either of their times between blinks (or how often any of the characters that blink do, for that matter). {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== Can we fix this? ==

Could we fix that problem with the article for the character being with a capital "M" and the sbemail being with a lowecase "m"? Could we make the sbemail's name "Marzipan (Sbemail)"? So that way when you type in "marzipan", it doesn't take you right to the sbemail instead of the character (same thing with Pom Pom). Can we just do that? It'd be easier. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 22:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

== And Strong Sad ==

Has anyone else noticed how much better the relationship between Marzipan and Strong Sad has got recently? While before she would often treat him with nothing more than polite contempt, it seems that now they actually generally enjoy each others company, on many occassions spending time exclusively together. Indeed, these days if Marzipan is shown in an exclusive social situation she is more often than not with Strong Sad.

Could it be that the two are, dare I say it, ''friends''?? [[User:194.80.32.12|194.80.32.12]] 19:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

== Unnamed Girl ==

If [[Unnamed Girl]] is a main character on H*R, why aren't the girls in [[Teen Girl Squad]] also main characters?

:I beleive the reason for that is that the girls in Teen Girl Squad live in their own universe apart for the H*R world (except for the glitch in [[virus]]). On the other hand the Unnamed Girl interacts with Homestar and Strong Bad in her appearances as if she was part of their world.
:Moreover, I think it should be important to mention that the fact that Marzipan is the only girl, is likely a parody on the Smurfs. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:13, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Her Name ==

Where do you think TBC got the idea to name her [[Marzipan]]? It's a very unusual name, and I have never heard it ever before in my life. Was it just made up or did they name her after somebody?

:[[wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:04, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
* I saw some of those when I was in Mexico several weeks ago. I didn't know they were real either. I was with someone who wanted to buy them as candies saying they were "little marzipans." They really were in the general shape of her body, so I asked her if she watched H*R and she asked me what that was. It was equally shocking to me that there existed such a thing with the name "Marzipan." [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]] 18:19, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

* Marzipan is kind of like iceing, it is made of almonds and you put it on cakes. I'm amazed you guys have never heard of it! Maybe it's a European thing.

* Actually, it is more often used for candy figurines (such as animals or fruits). It's very popular around both Christmas and Easter. Sometimes it's used as a filling for chocolate treats as well. Also, in my region, you pronounce it more like "Mah-tsee-pahn".

== Smurfs ==

There is a minor mistake in the fun facts selection. It says that the only female smurf was Smurfette. Sassette was also a female smurf and was a pretty common character.

Since this comment from a month ago hasn't been addressed, I'll go ahead and make a tentative change noting that Smurfette was not the only female Smurf. Smurfette and Sassette were created by magic (the former by Gargamel, the latter by the younger Smurfs), but my memory can't recall if Nanny Smurf has an origin story or if it was just left unexplained. I'll also make it a bit more ambiguous as to whether Marzipan is the only female in the Homestar universe, while noting she's the only main character who is female. Feel free to clean up or revert my edit, as I'm still a wiki neophyte. [[User:Wiggy|Wiggy]] 16:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:Whatcha tickin' bot; you did a great job of it. '''But'''... Why is this fact there at all? Did TBC ever say anything in an interview or commentary or the like linking her to the Smurfs?

I think that Marzipan has a seceret crush on Strong Bad.

== Vegetarian or vegan? ==

Does anyone know whether Marzipan is only vegetarian, or is she a vegan? Vegan seems more in line with her animal rights activism, but I've only seen references to her being a vegetarian. I started wondering about this after watching [[Strong Bad is in Jail]] - I wondered if her baklava was vegan or not (since honey is not vegan, but not all baklava is made with honey). --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 14:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Gir007, have you ever heard of a ''veggie'' burger? Besides, I'm sure that Marzipan wouldn't even have any meat in her kitchen, so Homestar wouldn't screw up like that.

:Thing is though, it did have mayonnaise on it, if I'm not mistaken. Whether it was made of marshmallows or eggs, it's not vegan.

There is also the issue of marshmallows. As a Vegetarian or Vegan Marzipan should avoid foods containing gelatin. I think a note to this point should be put on the character page.

== Marzy's Debut ==

== Marzipan's Protest Signs discussion ==

''This discussion was moved from its original location at '''Marzipan's Protest Signs'''.''
<blockquote>
This article sucks. So does the new, headless Strong Bad stub image. Take it down? {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:Well, thanks for the positive, encouraging feedback. Marzipan's character is a protesing liberal. She protests. She has on at least 2 occassions made signs for protests. It's a stretch to assume she never will again. This page documents her creation of said signs. And no one involved with changing the 'stub' icon was invoilved with this page, so linking one with another is most unwelcome. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
::We need to make a merge template. This article definitely wouldn't suck if it were part of Marzipan's article. I'm gonna create the template right now. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:::Could you possibly be any ruder? I don't give a hoot where the page goes, but I think you could be a little less "bite the newbie". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Hmm. I am astounded by the lack of tact demonstrated by the first and third posts in this thread. I for one think this is a nice little bit of information. It probably would fit on Marzipan's page pretty easily, just like the mispronunciations that are on Coach Z's page. I recommend merging. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
What about that "Vote Whales" poster in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]? I know it isn't a literal protest sign, but it seems to be something connected to this running gag... animal-related politics and such. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 12:25, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
::Good point, I think that until there are more, they should go on her page. If they have her make another it should go on its own article. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:39, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Qermaq, sorry for sounding like a rudea—. It's pretty ironic that I'm the one who's been here for half a year and I'm still a rabid cabal, a n00b and a borderline troll (my Lord, does that sound nerdy). I guess some things never change. Thinking of you as a "newbie" seems pretty ridiculous. Anyway, that's just the way I am, I never mean to offend anyone, I'm just a jerk. Uh, but since when is Marzipan a liberal? I'm totally anti-eating rabbits or anti-any unnecessary killing of animals, and I'm probably gonna be a vegan if I get rich (and start a band with Moby and my brothers called Humane Society), but I'm totally conservative. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

A reply to this conversation: Marzipan's nature is pretty much that of a hippie, and hippies are liberal by definition. And a reply to Darth Katana X: "newbie"-ness has nothing to do with how long you've been around - it has much more to do with your attitude and the way you treat other users. If you act like a newbie and you are rude to people (especially when it's unnecessary and uncalled for), you'll get called a newbie/troll/whatever, and treated as such. That's how it works pretty much everywhere. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:39, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

== A blinking goof? ==

I don't know how recent this is, but I've noticed a little issue with Marzipan's eyes when she blinks. I saw this in Weclome Back, and I think I've noticed it in less recent toons. Is this information worth being put somewhere on the wiki, or is it too unnoticeable to matter?

--Song from the 60's

No its not very noticeable. The eyes seem perfectly fine to me anyways.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 03:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

:I notice a little intrusion into the dark border around the face, but wow, you really need to look for that. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
::Now I see something, but really its more of just the flashes fault, because of it being older flash that <s>your</s> you're looking at.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 03:28, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

== About the character video ==

How does it work? Is it "Today we are not" on certain days, and "Today we are" on certain other days? I watched it twice just now, and both time I got "today we are not."--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 18:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

:Compleatly random. TBC used an invisible roulette wheel. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC) (And I used a flash bookmarklet, and made her say "Today we are!" and at the end, homestar still said "Yay!")

== Change everything to short hair? ==

Marzipan lost her hair in [[keep cool]], and we saw that she had a ponytail in [[retirement B]], so why don't we use that image?
:As H*R hardly has any continuity, we really can't say that until Marzi actually continues to show up with shorter hair all the time. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Also see [[Talk:retirement B#Marzipan's Hair?]] for a discussion. Most people think that she just tied back her hair for the act.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
: Why don't we replace the image on [[Strong Mad]]'s page with him in that loincloth? It's almost certainly a one-time thing. And even if Marzipan's hair really ''was'' short because it was burned away, it'll probably grow back. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 14:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
::Just saying that, in fact, it was shown long and like normal again in the next email, [[colouring]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== The Cheat and Marzipan ==

Is [[The Cheat]]'s crush on Marzipan and his portrayal of her as a The Cheat-lover in [[The Cheat Theme Song]] and [[mile]] worth noting? {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}} 08:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
:I'd think so... I think we did mention it on [[Powered by The Cheat]] already... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Don't forget [[do over]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

== Dirty hippie? ==

Where does Strong Bad describe Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt"? I know I've seen it before, but I can't remember where. If someone could go ahead and add in one of those superscript things (I don't know how), that'd be great. Thanks! {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 15:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
:It's on the [[Yearbook Characters Page]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

== Boo! ==

Hmmm... I just watched her video transcript 16 times — 8 where Marzi says they '''are''' going out, 8 when she says they '''aren't'''. Of those times, I could only get H*R to respond with the '''same''' answer twice. Both times, it was a double "Boo"! I couldn't get him to say a double "yay" though. I dunno. Maybe I zoned out or something. If no one else can get the same answer from him, you can fix that last sentence in the "Video Transcript" portion... I'll keep trying though (I could listen to H*'s "Boo" all day! although I'm sick of hearing about those darn chinchillas!: ) ) Sorry for this... {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 21:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:I always wondered how people discovered this in the first place. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::Ya, really! I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering that! : ) {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 21:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Coming back to this, I decompiled the Flash file and looked at the scripts. A double is not possible. If the first line is "yay", the ending will always be "boo", and vice versa. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 01:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

== Species Unknown ==
What is Marzipan? I see her as some type of balloon thing with a face drawn on it. But my friends say she is a Baseball bat wearing a dress. And on a couple of occasions the site refers to Marzipan as a broom but she denies this. So what is Marzipan (I actually dont know what the rest of the characters are but lets just focus on Marzipan.)?

She's an anthropomorphic pink blob. What else? [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 02:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

::...A what? [[User:Name|Name]] 02:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
:::A pink blob with distinctly human characteristics. See [[Wikipedia:Anthropomorphism]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 02:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
::::You people sure know a lot of big words... umm... Thanks... [[User:Name|Name]] 18:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry. My point was, none of the main H*R characters are based on real animals (except Strong Mad, maybe). [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 00:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

== Her cult? ==

Should her cult be mentioned? [[User:68.147.223.143|68.147.223.143]] 23:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

:Quote taken from the article: "... taught a "kindergarten" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and Homsar as her students in coloring." So, it is mentioned, but to be honest, I think we should include something that SAYS it is similar to a cult. In fact, I'll add that now. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

== Mismatched Reference Numbers ==

Why is it that although there are three references to notes at the bottom of her bio, all three references have the number 1? Is there a probalo with MediaWiki? --[[User:65.78.115.209|65.78.115.209]] 04:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
:The problem must be on your end; all number correctly for me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
::There was an error in {{tl|ref}}, but I fixed it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

==Anchor Points==
What is the deal of those Anchor points under sources. They do not seen to do that much. {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}} 21:05, 2008 Jan 17 (UTC)
:They are meant to point back to the reference that was cited. They are part of the normal functionality of the {{tl|ref}} and {{tl|note}} templates. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

== KOT as Marzipan's Dad??? ==

In the museum, it appears as if the King of Town is Marzipan's dad. I don't know if I'm missing something or if this information has just been left out for whatever reason. Any ideas?
:they dropped that idea a long time ago. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::(to annony)Yeah, you're missin' some big pieces of the puzzle. Read [[Marzipan#Fun Facts]] for more info. Oh, and next time you come across somethin' that might help us out, be sure to read the articles, just in case we've already found a conclusion. {{User:DevonM/sig}}
:::Let's be easy on the newbies, ok? Most people know nothing about H*R, so let's be very tolerant about those fans who know less than we do. OK? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

== I'm a bell! ==

When has Marzipan actually been mistaken for a bell? I don't remember hearing this. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

== Cat, Dog, Same Room ==

Fun Fact? Despite Marzipan saying that she does not like Cats and Dogs in the same room with each other, she did put both a Cat and a Dog together in the story in the toon Homestarloween Party, whom she names Kitty-Kitty and Chris, respectively.--[[Special:Contributions/63.139.175.45|63.139.175.45]] 08:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, and look how that turned out. Now you know.

== Marzy's first appearance ==

She first appeared in Marshmallow's Last Stand! I know it came before She Loves Me! Marzipan was in the crowd. --[[User:Fangoriously|Fangoriously]] 04:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:You're exactly right. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 04:54, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
::But why does the Old Flash Stuff menu say that she first appeared in the She Loves Me? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 05:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Um, uh, maybe it was a mistake? >_> I think they reworded it so they could cut out this toon from it. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 05:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
::::How do we know that Marshmallow's Last Stand came before She Loves Me? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 05:48, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Because the [[All Toons]] page lists MLS befor SLM! --[[User:Fangoriously|Fangoriously]] 15:22, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::She wasn't named in MLS. {{User:Ugozima/sig}} 13:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

== Random Question ==

Does anyone know how often Marzipan blinks? i noticed in [[helium]] that it's less often than homestar does, but idk either of their times between blinks (or how often any of the characters that blink do, for that matter). {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== Can we fix this? ==

Could we fix that problem with the article for the character being with a capital "M" and the sbemail being with a lowecase "m"? Could we make the sbemail's name "Marzipan (Sbemail)"? So that way when you type in "marzipan", it doesn't take you right to the sbemail instead of the character (same thing with Pom Pom). Can we just do that? It'd be easier. {{User:Crab Attack1999/sig}} 22:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
:no. we have case sensitive titles for that exact reason. it's not a problem at all. how much time does it take to find the shift key on your keyboard?  {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 22:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
