NFITC1: /* Wait, I think I figured it out. */

== I don't think this is the end of the hiatus ==

I personally think the hiatus has to be for the website. This isn't for the website, though, so I wouldn't say [[Teen Girl Squad|IT'S OVER!]] quite yet. It might just be me, but it's possible. --[[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] 20:32, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

== When? ==

I don't know when the event happened, but the date on the page is wrong/busted. It was either Wednesday the 24th or Thursday the 25th.

== Homestar's smart phones ==

Palm Pilot, Blackberry, and Zune are all devices from before smartphones were a major trend, so I think the joke is that they're all comically dated. Google glass the only exception really, being basically a post-smartphone device that hasn't really come out yet.

== Wait, I think I figured it out. ==

Ok, so in this video, the voices seem like they are likely the real thing, done by Matt. However, the visuals are static, non-moving pictures. Here's my thought.

Matt is still active, which is why he was able to do the voice. Mike wasn't able to do what he normally does, which is why there were no moving animations. This ''could be'' why the site hasn't been updated!
:Seems more likely it's just that it was ad-libbed so it couldn't be synced. -[[Special:Contributions/198.228.201.146|198.228.201.146]] 17:34, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

== Is this a goof? ==

Strong Bad's fist seems to be cut off on the right side. It's visible on the screenshot, in case I'm not explaining it clearly. --[[Special:Contributions/63.246.240.133|63.246.240.133]] 02:49, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Strongest Man in the World

NFITC1 — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:13:02 GMT

NFITC1: /* Remarks */ Bit of perspective issue and likely should be re-worded or removed completely. Not important enough to be a goof, though.

==Transcript==
''{The cover page of the Original Book appears. The book opens to the first page.}''

''{Homestar Runner changes into his modern form, and the old background is replaced by The Field. A record scratch noise is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody loves the me! I'm a terrific athlete!

''{Pom Pom enters and pulls out a flier}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A strongest man in the world contest? ''{pan to a closeup of Homestar Runner}'' Oh, sweet dog, you know I'm all over it.

''{Pan to the gymnasium, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are wearing aerobic gear and lifting weights. The training music from [[montage]] is playing in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extra-size, Pom Pom! Lemme see ya pour on that extra sauce! That strangest man in the world contest ain't gonna win itself!

''{Pan to a scene of the setting sun. Silhouettes of Homestar Runner and Pom Pom jump up and high five each other.}''

'''SINGER:''' Showdown!

''{Fade out. Cut back to the Field, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are walking to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, Pom Pom, I feel great! I feel fresh as a bagel! I bet I could lift fifty stringiest man in the world contests!

''{They approach a sign pointing the way to the contest, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are waiting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, The Cheat! If it isn't the big, fat, yellow blob and Pom Pom!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' W— wait. ''{closer closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' You— wait. ''{another closeup}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' Wait—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme break it down for you like this: I am the very strongest. While on the other hand, inversely, you guys are ''not'' very strong!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry, loud bubble noises}''

''{Strong Bad reacts in surprise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Pom Pom! Let's tone down the language before the contest, huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat. We'd better go start signing autographs. There's a pretty big line building up over there. ''{exits with The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking determined}'' Come on, Pom Pom! Let's go get Strong Bad's autograph!

''{Pom Pom gives Homestar an annoyed look, but Homestar doesn't notice.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hear there's a pretty big line building up.

''{Cheering voices over momentarily before cutting to a banner reading "Strongest Man In The World Contest".}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover over microphone}'' Ladies and gentlemen, you can ''not'' be ready for the ''{pan down to show The Announcer}'' Strongest Man In The World Contest!

''{He flips the microphone from one hand to the other.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's meet our smokin' hot contestants!

''{Cut to a darkened scene with a silhouette of Mr. Bland and disco lights in the background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Hailing from the middle of the road, the prince of plain, the master of mundane, it's ''{spotlight turns on}'' Mr. Bland!

''{Cut to a beige background of panning cubes and "mr. bland" scrolls to the right. Mr. Bland strikes an action pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And next, our returning champion, the walking—

''{Cut to a similar disco lights scene with The Robot in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —metal robot... The Robot!

''{A spotlight shines on The Robot and he waves. A blue background of screws and hex nuts pans in, and "The Robot" appears while The Robot holds a waving pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And from Foreign Lands, the foreign man:

''{Cut back to the disco scene, now with Señor in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Señor Ha-Ha-Ha-Havin' A Little Trouble!

''{A brown background of [[beans]] pans in, and "Señor" appears while Señor strikes an action pose.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And...

''{Cut to silhouettes of Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner, whose respective spotlights turn on as their names are mentioned.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quickly}'' Pom-Pom-Strong-Bad-and-Homestar.

''{Homestar looks surprised. Cut back to The Announcer. The scene is bright again.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Grape Fairie! Hit me with da rules!

''{Pan up to The Grape Fairie riding his bee. He makes a scroll appear that reads "Rules".}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' ''{in a Bronx accent}'' All right, youse ''{incomprehensible}'' brains, listen up smart. I start yas each off with like twenty grapes.

''{A pile of [[grapes]] takes the place of the floating scroll.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Then I adds one at a time.

''{A grape appears above the pile.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' The bum what holds the most grapes —

''{A golden bowl-shaped trophy appears in place of the grapes.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' — wins this gold bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen; sounds impressed}'' Dang, Pom Pom, you see that golbol? ''{zooms in on "golbol"}'' That's a nice golbol.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's get this over with!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Allzy oop. ''{zaps a pile of grapes on top of the contestants}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' ''{speaking monotone}'' Okay.... This is going really well.

''{The pile of grapes crushes Mr. Bland.}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' Oh.

''{Cut to silhoettes of everyone on a yellow background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Down goes Bland!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Ka-bu op! ''{pings a single grape over each contestant}''

''{Cut to Señor, impossibly balancing the entire pile on one hand.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' Oh, no, boy. I havin' a little trouble!

''{The pile falls on Señor, accompanied by the word "Sblounskched!" and the sound of a bowling ball hitting some pins. He sticks his arm out of the grapes.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' I still alive!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat, with Pom Pom in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I hear our friend The Robot is about to do a set of his acoustic numbers. Or should I say, unplugged?

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

''{The Cheat slides to the feet of The Robot, who is apparently plugged into an outlet on a very small section of wall out of nowhere.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{looks around, unplugs The Robot's cord, and slides away}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to The Robot, who shuts down and drops the pile of grapes. General sad "Aw"s among the crowd are heard as the eyes of The Robot disappear slowly.}''

''{Cut to Homestar, whose grapes appear to be floating in mid-air, due to his lack of visible arms.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around}'' Did nobody just see that?! Judge? Fairie? Giant bee?

''{Cut to The Grape Fairie and The Announcer, who are admiring the bowl and not paying attention to the contest.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Wilson gave me the golbol to my aunt in 1974.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Really quite an impressive bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Hellooo?

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Oh. Right.

''{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Crazy eights! ''{poofs another grape on top of everyone}''

''{Strong Bad begins to lose his grip on the grapes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat? Big help here! Big help!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.... Even it out there on the south side.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump her up.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously. At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat! ''{drops his grapes; walks over to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'' Could I just borrow this a second? ''{grabs The Cheat}''

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

''{Homestar kicks The Cheat about his feet like a hackysack, then does a slow-motion flip and bicycle kicks The Cheat off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wobbling, melodramatically}'' Oh-nooo!

''{Strong Bad drops a couple of grapes, then the entire pile crushes him. The action-pose scene appears, this time with a green grapes background, "squished bad", and Strong Bad under his pile of grapes.}''

''{Cut to Pom Pom}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pom Pom wins!

''{Pom Pom winks; a record scratch sounds, cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what?!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, still buried.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh.... These grapes are succulently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! ''{The pile of grapes begins to collapse as Strong Bad eats it}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the golbol.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously, Pom Pom. Gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises, pulls the golbol back a bit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's great. But I still won. I sportsmanliked everybody! Now gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, fine. You can give it to me for my birthday. Now check out my victory dance! Huhyayayayaaa!

''{Homestar crosses his left leg over his right and jumps into the air. The Grape Fairie and the Fat Bee enter from the upper right, the announcer from the lower left. Pom Pom jumps in the air holding the trophy. The scene fades into the last page of the Original Book with "1996-2006" written across the upper left. The ending also provides a link to the original book.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Strongestmanintheworld sbautograph.png|thumb|Dare to Dream!]]
*Clicking on the [[Contest]] sign when Homestar mentions getting Strong Bad's autograph will show a picture of said autograph, on which is written:
<blockquote>homestar, 
dare to dream! believe in yourself 
and you can achieve anything!! 
your pal 
Strond Ba.... 
wait a sec, 
2nd try: 
homestar, 
you're 
a butt. 
''Strong'' 
''Bad''</blockquote>

*Clicking the [[trophy]] at the end shows a shot of it (captioned "GOLBOL") in the same style as the ones shown when Mr. Bland, The Robot, Señor, and later "Squished Bad" are introduced. The [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] logo is shown in the background.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Unplugged" is a term popularized by [[Wikipedia:MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] and is used to refer to [[Wikipedia:Acoustic music|acoustic music]].
*Señor is the [[Spanish]] translation for "Mr.", explaining his accent.

===Trivia===
*The [[main page message]] for this toon read "10 years!".
*This toon is the first time the Grape Fairie, Mr. Bland, and Señor are given voices.
*Despite its attempt, this toon's page title is not the longest one of the website. [[Shopping for Danger]]'s page title "Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!" surpasses it by five characters. They are, however, both 19 syllables long.
*Señor's full name was coined in [[origins]].
*When Homestar [[Kicking The Cheat|kicks The Cheat]], he is utilizing a skill known as juggling, which is usually done with soccer balls or [[wikipedia:Footbag|footbags]] (commonly known as Hacky Sacks).

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his [[Wikipedia:Five o'clock shadow|five o'clock shadow]] disappears with it.
*Señor holds his pile of grapes on one side with the other half of the pile floating in mid-air. In the original book, he was holding the grapes with his right hand rather than his left.
*The way the grapes fall on Strong Bad, he should be lying on his stomach since he was holding the pile behind his head. However in the action scene, "squished bad," Strong Bad is shown lying on his back so that he could eat them in the next scene.
**Also, in the Original Story, when it shows Strong Bad squished under the pile of grapes, he was lying on his back.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.
*The characters are spotlighted, although there doesn't seem to be any place for there to be spotlights in the sky.
*The grapes appear to [[Lack of visible arms|hover over Homestar's head]].
*When attempting to see if someone noticed The Cheat's unplugging of the Robot, Homestar looks to his right to look at the Judge and to the left to look at the Grape Fairie. In the very next shot the Judge and Fairie are standing next to each other talking and would have been in the same direction from Homestar's position.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.
* In the silhouette scene following Mr. Bland's loss, the grapes are actually floating above Pom Pom. However, this could just be in keeping with the original book, which has a similar silhouette scene.
*The first page says "Every''one'' loves The Homestar Runner..." instead of "Every''body'' loves The Homestar Runner...", which would have been the correct quotation from the original book.
*Strong Bad has no purple reflection on his pants, like his [[Strong Bad Evolution|fifth design]].
*When the screen darkens and the strobe lights appear, the ones that shine on the bushes in the background do not light up the ground directly below the bushes.
**Also, the lights do not deform to the depths of the bushes, as if they were 2 dimensional.
*In the last modern scene (the 'victory dance') and the scene immediately before it, it can be seen that the shadows on Pom Pom's 'limbs' do not properly align - each 'arm' is apparently affected by a different light source when this really shouldn't be happening.

===Inside References===
*The music heard in the background when Señor is "having a little trouble" is the same music heard in the email [[car]] when Homestar is "deleted" by Strong Bad.
*When Señor gets squished, the [[onomatopoeia]] used is "[[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|Sblounskched!]]", the name of Strong Bad's candy bar.
*The song during the training scene is "[[Songs#from Strong Bad Emails|Showdown]]" from [[montage]], except with vocals by someone who sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]].
*The outfit Homestar wears during the training scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].
*The autographed picture of Strong Bad in the Easter egg is the same as the one that Strong Bad gives to his "main man" Van Mundegaarde in [[2 years]].
*One of the [[sound effects]] that plays when the Robot gets unplugged is the loading sound from [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] and [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar's first speaking line and The Robot being introduced as such are examples of the [[integral article]].
*The ending music is the remix of the [[Old Intro|old intro music]], which is also heard at the end of [[flashback]] and can also be heard on [[Main Page 20]].
*The Announcer's introduction of Señor suggests that he is a resident of [[Far Off Lands|Foreign Lands]], the same place [[Thomas]] is said to be from.
*Pom Pom also winks in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], just before he gets hit by Strong Mad.
*It can be assumed from Homestar's "Let's tone down the language" line that when Strong Bad calls Pom Pom and Homestar "not very strong", Pom Pom replies using [[swears]].
*The Grape Fairie claims that [[1974]] was the year Mookie Wilson gave him the Golbol to his aunt.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mookie Wilson|Mookie Wilson]] is a former [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]] outfielder who played with the [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] and [[Wikipedia:Toronto Blue Jays|Toronto Blue Jays]] from 1980 to 1991. The Mets' logo is shown in the background of the Easter egg.
*[[Wikipedia:Crazy Eights|Crazy Eights]] is a card game in which two players try to get rid of all their cards by discarding a card with the same number or suit as the previous card played. In this game, eights are wild.
*Homestar's aerobic outfit is similar to the ones [[Wikipedia:Jane Fonda|Jane Fonda]] wore when making her workout videos in the 1980s.
*The Grape Fairie's "Ollzy Oop!" is a distortion of the phrase [[Wikipedia:Alley Oop|Alley Oop]], which is a play in basketball where the ball is thrown up near the basket by a teammate, and another teammate dunks the ball in to score.


===Fast Forward===
*The music during the introduction of Mr. Bland, The Robot, and Señor is recycled in the [[Tito]] scene of [[more armies]].
*The golbol is featured in an Easter egg in [[Jibblies 2]]. Homestar finally gets it from Pom Pom, due to his costume of "Artie, The Strongest Man in the World".
*The Announcer's discussion with the Grape Faerie is nearly replicated (this time about a kickball) in [[Kick-a-Ball]], this time between the Announcer and [[the Umpire]].
*Three years later, [[Where My Hat Is At]] was also remade as a full-length cartoon on the 10th anniversary of the book's creation.

==DVD Version==
*The link to the original book has been deleted.
**However, you can still access said book. Go to the Toons menu and highlight "Strongest Man in the World". Then click right on it until a hidden H*R logo appears and then click on it.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' This story is old!

'''MIKE:''' It's very old. This is, what, the ten-year anniversary, I think?

'''MATT:''' Tenured. Ten—

'''MIKE:''' Tenured track anniversary?

'''MATT:''' Uh-huh.

'''MIKE:''' I think it was a little off. I think we—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we realized it was really— we assumed it was in, like, August, but it was actually in June, I think?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Something like that. ''{pause}'' But it's all based on the original. Look at the background there. The gym, the wall there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And those weights— the way the weights look.

'''MATT:''' That scene was also immortalized in the Mario Paint — or just Homestar lifting weights—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —by himself — in the Mario Paint cartoon.

'''MATT:''' So, uh, this was kind of fun to make one of these competition cartoons after not making those kinds of cartoons for many years.

'''MIKE:''' And it was fun to try to get to sort of re-write it, and how they would act now about things.

'''MATT:''' Right. While being a little self-reflexive—

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' —where they have to sort of hit these points from the generic competition story line. ''{pause}'' What do you think— What do you think he— Did he drop an F-bomb just then, Pom-Pom, maybe? What do you think he said, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' He may have dropped an S-bomb.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Definitely dropped an S-bomb. ''{pause}'' Hey, Announcer!

'''MIKE:''' The Announcer — I think his graphics got re-done for this.

'''MATT:''' I think they did a little bit.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, and look! Very, uh, Alan-Parsons-Project-esque song here.

'''MATT:''' That was fun. ''{pause}'' It was fun to make those little splash screens for each character.

'''MIKE:''' That robot was a Craig Zobel—

'''MATT:''' What was—

'''MIKE:''' —product of Zobel.

'''MATT:''' What was Scottie Pippen's number, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Scottie Pippen's number?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Why?

'''MATT:''' I was going to be The Announcer, going to see a Bulls game.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh. Oh.

'''MATT:''' Bulls always came out to that Alan Parsons—

'''MIKE:''' Jordan was 23.

'''MATT:''' Well, right, I— I was going to go something more obscure, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughing}'' Pippen!?

'''MATT:''' Well, his number— you don't know his number and you're a big sports guy!

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's previous comment}'' Well, I can't—

'''MATT:''' Oh! ''{makes noises similar to Homestar Runner's line, "Dang, Pom Pom, do you see that Golbol?"}'' ''{pause}'' Um, I like the direction— Everyone thinks, uh— the Wiki anyways, everyone— The Wiki thinks that's you, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' What, Mr. Bland?

'''MATT:''' Do your best impression of... that.

'''MIKE:''' I don't e— how— what did he say?

'''MATT:''' He said, "Uh, my name's Mike and I suck."

'''MIKE:''' ''{doing an impersonation of Mr. Bland}'' "Hello, my name—" Wait, what!?

'''MATT:''' Whoa!

'''MIKE:''' Gosh, you almost got me that time!

'''MATT:''' He's still alive, Mike! ''{pause}'' This is the most inconvenient, worst robot ever. It's like one of those robots from the 1920s World Fair where it's like, "It's a metal man! Thrill at the sounds of the metal man!"

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' And it has to be plugged in.

'''MATT:''' Uh... Mookie Wilson!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that gave that bowl to his gold— ''{laughing}'' to his gold aunt?

'''MATT:''' To his gold aunt! His golden aunt!

'''MIKE:''' Mookie Wilson. I think Mookie Wilson hit the— hit the famous ball that went through Bill Buckman's legs... in the World Series.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Red Sox, Mets. I think he hit it.

'''MATT:''' The curse?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You see? There— there's a little reference to the original dialoguer.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Doing some hacky sacking.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, totally. Oh, bicycle kick! Or, no. Is that a bicycle kick?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' A rainbow... kick— are they called that too, sometimes?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Umm, I like the direction we took with The Grape Fairie.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''MATT:''' That when he's not talking, he doesn't have a 5 o'clock shadow. But when he starts to talk—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing and over Matt's last line}'' It just appears when his mouth opens.

'''MATT:''' That voice can't not have a 5 o'clock shadow.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' If you sound like that, you're gonna— it's just gonna come out immediately. ''{pause}'' Huhyayayayaaa! I've always loved that victory dance. That's a total Craig Zobel drawing, right there, isn't it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Didn't he do that last drawing?

'''MIKE:''' He always would make Homestar's body look like a soup can.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He gave it the 3D style.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Bye, Craig.

'''MIKE:''' I got Craiged.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Scottie Pippen|Scottie Pippen]] and [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]] were players for the [[Wikipedia:Chicago Bulls|Chicago Bulls]]. Their jersey numbers (33 and 23, respectively) are two of only four currently retired by the Bulls.
*In the [[Wikipedia:1986 World Series|1986 World Series]], the Red Sox lost to the Mets in seven games. The most famous play came when Mookie Wilson hit a slow grounder to first that was misplayed by [[Wikipedia:Bill Buckner|Bill Buckner]] (not Buckman, as the Chaps claim), leading to the winning run being scored.
**This was said by fans to be due to the "[[Wikipedia:Curse of the Bambino|curse of the Bambino]]", which prevented the Red Sox from winning a World Series since 1918. (The team won the World Series in 2004 and 2007, however.)
*[[Wikipedia:The Alan Parsons Project|The Alan Parsons Project]] was a British progressive rock band active from 1975 to 1990, founded by [[Wikipedia:Eric Woolfson|Eric Woolfson]] and [[Wikipedia:Alan Parsons|Alan Parsons]]. Their instrumental piece "Sirius," from their album [[Wikipedia:Eye in the Sky (album)|''Eye in the Sky'']], is used as the court-rushing music for the aforementioned Chicago Bulls, in addition to several other uses for other sports teams.

'''D N'D GREG:''' Play some serious tabletop—

'''JAPANESE CULTURE GREG:''' Staring at vinyl figurines?

'''OPEN SOURCE GREG:''' Downloading several hours of—

'''ALL GREGS EXCEPT SCI-FI GREG:''' ''{disappointed}'' Oh.

'''OPEN SOURCE GREG:''' Into the Apple store? ''{As he says "Apple", the text bubble has a "bite" taken out of it, and a leaf appears on it.}''

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' That's right. It's the one time we can co-exist at the same social function with football players, but they will be powerless to ridicule and/or wedgie us!

'''OPEN SOURCE GREG:''' Huzzah!

'''JAPANESE CULTURE GREG:''' ''{his head suddenly looks extremely animeish}'' Otaku!

'''SHORT GIRL:''' You have been chosen.

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' Uh, Cheerleader, shouldn't you be out—

''{Cut to a closeup of his mouth, showing misshapen teeth.}''

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' Uuuuuhhhhhh...

''{Cut back.}''

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' —leading cheers?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' No, I'm more a cheerleader in the way I dress... and in the way I treat other girls.

'''SHORT GIRL:''' That's right.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{smacks the short girl, yelling:}'' YOU DON'T SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO!

'''D N'D GREG:''' That level 4 shambling Krenshar is attacking that slightly attractive, slightly overweight color guard maiden!

<blockquote>The offensive team has 4 
chances to advance the ball 
10 yards at a time with the 
objective being to cross the 
opposing teams goal line 
using either running plays 
or passing plays or any 
combination thereof.</blockquote>

===Remarks===
* During the title sequence, D N'D Greg, Open Source Greg and Japanese Culture Greg have four, four, and five fingers per hand, respectively, despite the fact that all the Gregs (and indeed almost all Teen Girl Squad characters) are normally drawn with only three fingers per hand.
* The notion for a spinoff based on the Gregs was previously entertained in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]].
* The TV Time [[HR:menuswfs/menu_4gregs.swf|menu preview]] shows Japanese Culture Greg holding a different robot from that shown in the actual toon.
* Despite the title, there are "5 Gregs" that appear in this toon, if you include regular Greg that was in the Growlbacks costume.
* Japanese Culture Greg pronounces "Akihabara" wrong: he pronounces it "Aki - ha - bar'''uh'''", with an [[Wikipedia:Schwa|unstressed vowel]] at the end. While this is common among English speakers, in Japanese, all vowels have the same value; in this case, [[Wikipedia:Open_front_unrounded_vowel|/a/]].

==Transcript==
''{Open to an almost-entirely black screen, with a window in the corner. As the following words are said, they are written at the bottom of the screen in red.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{He has a slight echo throughout the toon, unless noted.}'' One chilled ''{said as "chillèd"}'' Hallow's Eve I rose,

''{Strong Sad steps out of the shadows. The next line is not written on the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And sat right down to writing,

''{He sits down as a desk moves in to view, with a paper and inkwell on it. He pulls out a pen and takes it to the paper.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' For none had bothered to propose, to their parties, my inviting.

''{Cut back to another mostly-black screen with another window. Strong Sad is seen writing at the desk in white silhouette. The words are again written in red.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I crafted such a macabre ''{said in an exaggerated fashion}'' tale there in my darkened room

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' To achieve literary justice, and send each to their DOOOOM! ''{As he says the final word, his skull image appears over his head, the screen glows slightly green, and a musical sting is heard.}''

''{To music, a book entitled "DOOMY TALES OF THE MACABRE by S. Sad" appears. On the cover, Strong Sad is dressed as the grim reaper and laughing. In front of him lie skulls of other main characters.}''

''{Cut to the exterior of the King of Town's castle. One window is brightly lit. The camera zooms in on that window.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' We start with the most expendable. Grrrreetings, ''{with the R rolled}'' King of Town!

''{Cut to inside the castle, where the King of Town is slowly sinking into a giant boiling pot.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For this glutton, a stew of mutton in which to slowly drown!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I thought these were tales of the McArby: ''{A book appears with "TALES OF THE McARBY" on it, showing an enormous hamburger.}'' the mythical fast-food crossover sandwich of legend!

''{The book disappears. The King of Town is now mostly submerged. He gurgles a bit and munches on the mutton on the way down. The King of Town's skull, in the shape of The Municipality logo, appears over his head as he sinks, to a musical sting. Cut to an image of a crystal ball.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What's this? ''{Marzipan walks up to the crystal, and a distorted reflection of her is visible in it.}'' The fair maid Marzipan considering a brand new man?

''{Homestar leans in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan! Have you seen my toenail clippings? I left them right on top of your toothbrush.

''{Marzipan glares at Homestar for a moment, and then into the crystal.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Crystal, crystal, on the ball, I need a better boyfriend, y'all!

''{Closeup on the ball, which is glowing. A buzzing sound is heard.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But the gypsy forces she invoked decided they would play a joke!

''{The ball flashes to a thunderclap. Cut to Homestar, but pan immediately so that only his shadow is visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' AaaaaaaaAAAAAAA...

''{His shadow and voice both shift to match Coach Z's}''

'''COACH Z:''' AAAAARRAOOOOOORR!

''{Pan back over to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there, my little love jorb! ''{Holds up his foot, which is encased in a shoe that's falling apart. It's stained and some hairs are on it.}'' These bunions, corns, and calluses aren't gonna pumice themselves!

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{halfheartedly; her skull appears over her face to the musical sting}'' Nuuuuuuu... Oh, wait, ''{squinting}'' what's that say? ''{The skull appears to the musical sting again.}'' Nooooooooo!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is in silhouette. The top of the screen resembles the paper Strong Sad is writing on, and Strong Sad's line is written on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And now we join a man obse—

''{Sudden cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{interrupting}'' Hey, what abrat ''my'' doom?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um, you're already Coach Z. No sense in beating a dead horse.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, good point!

''{Coach Z's skull appears over his face to the musical sting. Cut back to the Concession Stand, the same as before.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And now we join a man obsessed with sales and liquidation,

''{Cut to inside the Stand. Bubs is concocting some sort of potion with a complicated device. He has some bubble gum in his costume's wig. A bottle of "TOXIC WASTE" is sitting near him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Dabbling with fiendish tests and genetic experimentation.

'''BUBS:''' I'll just take this piece of brain from my wig... ''{grabs the bubble gum and throws it into the concoction. Strong Sad's face appears in the top-left corner of the screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' But you all know how these things go, with unnatural creations.

''{Cut back outside the Stand.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A puff of smoke! ''{smoke appears}'' A greenish glow! ''{the space inside the Stand turns green}'' Voila! Horrible abominations!

''{A giant puff of smoke appears. The text on the stand has been replaced with Bubs-like eyes, and teeth resembling Bubs' teeth hang above the stand's window. Bubs, now clearly visible, looks up at this. The stand growls and the teeth shake.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aw, this was supposed to ''reduce'' my overhead! Not turn ''into'' my head!

''{The teeth chomp at Bubs, severing his head from his body. The head, with Xs in place of eyes, flies forward and lands in front of Onion Bubs.}''

'''ONION BUBS:''' Welcome to my world! ''{cackles with an...}'' Ehhhhh-heheheheheheeeeeeeh!

''{Bubs' skull appears over his head to a musical sting. Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith in the middle of the field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' These two no-talkers need to go!

''{A piece of paper comes down from the top of the screen; both characters look at it. "Poopmith" is written on it over Strong Sad's next line.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Let's eliminate a Poopsmith O!

''{The word on the paper becomes "POpmith". A tire pump from Dig Dug appears in front of the Poopsmith. The Poopsmith looks at it and starts pumping it. As he does, a tube connects from it to Pom Pom. Pom Pom becomes pixelated and grows bigger, until he pops. Crickets chirp for a moment.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover, unsure}'' Oh, uh, and Pom Pom was filled with a deadly gas... ''{a cloud of gas appears where Pom Pom was}'' that killed the Popsmith...really...fast.

''{The Poopsmith suddenly falls over onto the tire pump. His skull appears over his head, and Pom Pom's over his cloud, with a really fast musical sting. Cut to Homestar running in the field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar Runner, fast, like the whind, but how fast can he run when his knees can't bend?

''{As Homestar passes a tree, his legs straighten out to a musical sting. He keeps running, albeit slower, anyway.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh! Hey, this ain't so bad! ''{Hearts appear over his head}'' Give me the good thoughts, you know.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I'll revise, then, if you please. What if each leg had several knees?

''{A flash of light and musical sting as Homestar's legs become curved and tangled. Nonetheless, he shuffles along anyway.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, great! It's like I'm wadin' through puddin' with every step! And everyone knows how much the Homestar Runner loves wadin' through puddin'. ''{He stops.}'' Strong Sad, these doomy tales of macrame aren't very scary. ''{He walks forward.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, there's an idea!

''{Cut to the dark room where Strong Sad is writing, now silhouetted in gray. Homestar shuffles in as a white silhouette. The words are written on the bottom of the screen again.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A crafty fad, once loved by all. I'll hang you on a '70s basement wall!

''{Suddenly, the background becomes a yellow wallpaper, and Homestar becomes a macrame owl hanging on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{terrified}'' Oh no! Macrame! My worst nightmare!

''{Marzipan steps forward.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' But Macrame Owl Homestar, I give you a macrame dream catcher for Decemberween every year.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My point exactlyyyyyyy!

''{Homestar's skull appears over the macrame Homestar to the musical sting. Marzipan jumps back in surprise. Coach Z steps in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Get back upstairs and cook my seventies dinner, woman!

''{Marzipan scowls and walks off.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And put on a pantsuit, fer cryin' out loud!

''{Cut to the Sad Kids approaching a house with a candy bag. A paper appears, with Strong Sad's words written on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Halloween is very handy, for those with appetites for candy.

''{The paper disappears as a hand drops a piece of candy into the bag. The Sad Kids walk off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Except for greedy trick-or-treaters...

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Like Strong Mad and The Cheat... ''{struggles for a rhyme}'' er...

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' CHECK OUT MY NEW TREAT BAG!

''{He indicates a dumpster with "TR[[Lowercase i's|i]]CK TREAT" spray-painted on it.}''

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

''{Cut to the moon, panning back.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All night long, they gathered sweets,

''{The dumpster comes into view. Candy is poured into it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And tossed upon the growing heap! When finally struck the midnight hour,

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat appear in the dumpster and start scarfing down candy. The Cheat disappears suddenly.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Twas not just candy he devoured! ''{chuckles}''

''{Strong Mad chokes a little and yellow hairs fly out of his mouth.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT? NOOOOOO!!!

''{Strong Mad's skull appears over his head, and The Cheat's over his stomach, for the musical sting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's not macabre! ''{pronounced as "macab-er"}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing near the dumpster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad eats The Cheat like four times a day! How do you think we give him baths?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, fine! ''{Strong Bad looks upwards left and right, in search of Strong Sad}'' Well, I saved the ''most'' macabre ''{exaggerated}'' for last!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd like to see you get macabré on mé!

''{Cut to the Compé. Strong Bad types Strong Sad's words.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad, as he always does, checks emails from his fans, what if,

''{Cut to behind the Compé.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' instead of boxing gloves, a pair of human hands?!

''{Strong Bad's hands are replaced by live-action human hands. Strong Bad recoils, knocking The Compé's monitor away. The hands' fingers continually move, except when in contact with the Compé's keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaahhh! I'm hideous! How will I ever type with these waggly knuckled monstrosities?!

''{He attempts to type, but fails. His skull appears over his head to the musical sting. Fade out and back in to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Now all have met their grisly fate, such horrors for you to see. Perchance next time they'll all think twice before not inviting me!

''{The lights suddenly come on, and Strong Sad looks up with a happy surprised face.}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Halloween, Strong Sad!

''{Cut back to show Strong Sad looking at all the other main characters except Homsar.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{His voice no longer exhibits the echo}'' A surprise party? Just for me?! Oh, you guys shouldn't have! You all really do care!

''{The characters all fall forward, revealed to be a giant cardboard cutout with a tape player behind it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. ''{to the viewer, nervously:}'' Heh, heh, you weren't really supposed to see that, uh... let's just flick the light back off, shall we?

''{He turns off the light. The words "the end." appear to music, with skulls of the characters appearing below it. Cut to a scene of all the characters standing around in the field.}''

:'''COACH Z:''' Say, Marzipan, peep this: "You take two steps frorward and I'll take two steps back." Huh? No? I'm a cold-hearted snake? Rush rush? The Laker girls?

*At the end, click on The Cheat:
:''{The Cheat grabs his backside and pulls himself into the air. A stone podium inscribed "UNLESS" appears under The Cheat, and he flies away. The podium disappears and The Cheat reappears with a pop.}''

*At the end, click on Strong Bad:
:''{As he speaks, a face resembling the face of the moon in [[Legend of Zelda|The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask]] fades in and out repeatedly on the surface of the moon.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh no, the evil moon is crashing into the Earth again! What a totally un-frustrating way to play a video game!

*At the end, click on Marzipan:
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Run, Marzipan, Run—off of a cliff, preferably.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' You Kinder-Überraschung!

*At the end, click on Homestar:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, I'm just gonna save everybody some time and burn through these. ''{quickly}'' Pom Pom? Underwater orange juice man? Classic. Strong Bad? Scarecrow and Mrs. King? I would've preferred Jake and the Fat Man, but nice work. The Cheat as the thorax? Love it. Favorite part of the insect. Coach Z? Not sure if I wanna know the answer to this, but did you steal Mickey Mouse's pants? Marzipan, off-duty Ronald McDonald? It is what it is. And finally, Homestar, you seem to be distraught. ''{turns around}'' People try and make me sound a lot... weird, y'know, and I'm strong! And I can... kick... ''{lifts his leg to kick. It becomes the curled-up tangle it was during the toon.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Macabre|Macabre]] is a literary and artistic style characterized by its grim nature and details of death.
*[[Wikipedia:Macrame|Macrame]] is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting.
*[[Wikipedia:Overhead|Overhead]] refers to a business's expenses that aren't tied to sales (e.g. rent, labor, utilities, advertising).

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Onion Bubs has ever spoken.
*This cartoon marks the first time that both Bubs and Onion Bubs were visible at the same time.
*This is the second time that a character has sported two different costumes in the same Halloween Toon: Strong Sad is wearing his Grim Reaper getup on the cover of his book.


===Remarks===
*Many characters [[fourth wall breaks|break the fourth wall]] by speaking to Strong Sad as he narrates. Marzipan does so by misreading a cue card. Strong Bad also does so by typing what Strong Sad is narrating. Strong Sad does so by addressing the audience at the end.
*Strong Sad pronounces "chilled" as "[[-èd|chillèd"]].
*The patty on the McArby resembles that of the [[Blubb-O's|Thick 'n Nasty]].
*Marzipan wears a tank top in this Toon, revealing her skin. This adds to the theory that her body is skirt-shaped (see also: [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]).
*This cartoon suggests that both Coach Z and Homestar have toes.
*"Boyfriend" Coach Z appearing with Macrame Owl Homestar is a strange and subtle case of a [[duplicate character]].
*Even though Strong Mad coughs up The Cheat's hair, he doesn't seem to eat The Cheat (The Cheat doesn't appear to go into Strong Mad's Mouth).
*This toon suggests that Strong Bad has a wireless keyboard.
*The Compé was purchased with, and has been shown with, a mouse. However, it appears to be absent in this toon, though it could have fallen off the desk with the Compé itself.
*When Strong Bad's Gloves turn into hands, the hands don't seem to be attached to his body at all.
*Strong Bad mentions "the parlor" in the King of Town's Easter egg, but this is not one of the rooms included in the game [[Wikipedia:Cluedo|Clue]], on which the King of Town's costume is based.
*When Homsar's skull is shown, his hat is seen as if it were part of his skull.

===Goofs===
*The Poopsmith is dressed as Darunia, but the tag at the end says that he is "King Dirunia". In addition to the spelling error, Darunia (though the leader of the Gorons) is not a king. The Gorons in Goron City refer to him only as "Big Brother".
*Homsar's hat is dressed up for Halloween, but at the end, he is wearing his normal bowler hat.
*"Poopsmith" and "Popsmith" are both missing the "s" when they are written on the parchment paper.

===Glitches===
*As with all years, the cursor can hover over Homsar to bring up his name and costume while characters give their Easter egg speeches, which is not possible for any other characters. This is due to Homsar being added in over the movie clip, and not affected by the rendering level that the others are in.

===Inside References===
*Bubs' Concession Stand turning into Bubs's head also happened in the [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!|2005 April Fools' Day special]].
*Strong Bad's fate is having to type with [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|human hands]].
*The dooms written by Strong Sad involve the [[death]]s of several characters.
*The King Of Town's "death" is by [[stew]].
*Strong Sad mentions that Homsar was killed by the [[Heavy Lourde]] in [[homsar|sbemail number 2]].
*Homestar has trouble [[What are you supposed to be?|identifying the costumes]].
*Strong Sad's pronunciation of "macabre" is [[Foreign Words|irregular]].
*Strong Sad suggests that Strong Mad [[The Cheat being eaten|eats the Cheat]].
*The King of Town's skull image resembles the logo for [[the Municipality]].
*This toon is done in the style of the poetry of [[Edgar Allan Poe]].
*Strong Bad previously showed his inability to type with fingers in email [[fingers]].
*Strong Sad is seen [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiling]].
*Coach Z says [[Jorb]].
*Homsar was previously referred to as "this little weirdo" in [[different town]].
*Strong Sad was first seen as the [[Grim Reaper]] in [[Experimental Film]].
*The hand that gives the Sad Kids candy was previously seen in [[hygiene]] and [[Career Day]].
*Homsar dressing up as Little Orphan Annie is another example of [[cross-dressing]].
*Strong Sad says "Grrrreetings" the same way he did in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2]].
*[[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder-Überraschung]] has been referenced very briefly in [[alternate universe]].
*Strong Bad was previously shown being horrified by bare human hands in [[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]].

===Real-World References===
[[File:Majora's Moon.png|thumb|300px|What a totally unfrustrating likeness!]]
*McArby is a [[portmanteau]] of [[McDonald's]] and [[Wikipedia:Arby's|Arby's]].
*Strong Bad's comment about the moon falling refers to ''[[The Legend of Zelda|The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', in which, the moon would come crashing down after 3 in-game days (about 54-72 minutes real-world time, under normal conditions), causing a game over unless Link reset time using the Ocarina of Time. His comment about it being a "totally unfrustrating" manner of play refers to how this time limit and limited saving caused frustration among some gamers having to repeat similar parts of the game frequently as well as a feeling of being rushed. The face on the moon as he says this resembles the one in the game.
*The song that Homestar sings and the Poopsmith dances to is Saria's Song from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]. In this game, the player must make Goron Chieftain Darunia dance to this song. This tune also plays in different locations in various later games in the series.
*Pom Pom is dressed as an enemy from the Namco game Dig Dug. The way the Poopsmith inflates and pops him with a pump is the same as how enemies are killed in the game.
*Marzipan says "Crystal, crystal, on the ball," a reference to the line "Magic mirror, on the wall" from [[Wikipedia: Snow White|Snow White]], which was mistakenly interpreted as "Mirror, mirror, on the wall."
*When you click on Homestar at the end of the toon, the Easter Egg wraps up with him claiming to be strong and able to kick. This, along with Homestar's costume, is a reference to Crispin Glover's 1987 [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover#Late Night appearance|appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman"]] where he kicked at Letterman.
*Coach Z's Easter egg makes heavy reference to [[Wikipedia:Paula Abdul|Paula Abdul]], including her songs "[[Wikipedia:Opposites Attract|Opposites Attract]]", "Cold Hearted Snake", and "Rush Rush". [[Wikipedia:MC Skat Kat|MC Skat Kat]] first appeared in the Abdul's "Opposites Attract" video.
*Strong Bad's quote "Run, Marzipan, Run" is based on the source of Marzipan's costume, the [[German]] movie ''[[Wikipedia:Run Lola Run|Run Lola Run]]''.
**Marzipan's reply, "You [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder-Überraschung]]!" refers to the German confection also known as "Kinder Surprise" or "Kinder Egg".
*Bubs' Easter egg is reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]'', where his costume, Jules, originated from. Jules had a wallet saying a similar, but vulgar phrase on it.
*Bubs pulling the brain from his hair is a reference to a scene from Pulp Fiction.
*[[Wikipedia:Scarecrow and Mrs. King|Scarecrow and Mrs. King]] was a US TV series that ran from 1983 and 1987 about the adventures of a spy and a divorced housewife.
*[[Wikipedia:Jake and the Fatman|Jake and the Fatman]] was a US TV series that ran from 1987 to 1992 about a prosecuting attorney and an investigator.
*The Cheat "lifts himself up by the seat of his pants" and "takes leave of this place... without leaving a trace", leaving only a pile of rocks bearing the word "UNLESS", just as The Lorax does.
**There is also a Thneed lying at The Cheat's feet when he is first shown. A Thneed is a product made from the Lorax's beloved Truffula Trees, and which (claims the Once-Ler, the book's villain) "everyone, everyone, everyone needs".
*When Strong Mad says "MOVE-A MOVE-A", it is a reference to a lyric spoken in the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing".
*Homsar is dressed as [[Wikipedia:Little Orphan Annie|Little Orphan Annie]], and his line refers to "Punjab", a recurring character from that comic strip.
*Strong Bad's remarks about the King of Town's costume reflect the format of Clue (who, what, and where), on which the King of Town's costume is based.

==Thumbs==
Does anyone notice Strong Sad's thumb in this short? It's placed in a slightly humaner position. It only applies to (our) right, but I think it's worth mentioning. [[User:Strong Intelligent|SI.com!]]

== Mailsmith ==

I'm pretty sure that TBC speculated on the Poopsmith as the local mailman before, on some DVD commentary. Does anybody know which one it was and whether this should be mentioned in the article? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:In [[secret identity]]'s commentary, they speculated that [[Coach Z]] is the mailman. Is that the one you're referring to? [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 09:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::Oops, must have confused some things. Thanks for clearing that up! --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== McDonald's Reference? ==
When Strong Bad says "The Compé, because flat-panel sophistication demands made-up words", is he referencing those McCafé commercials? Just a thought, {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 13:25, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think so; Café is a real word, just with Mc in front. Compé is not a real word. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 14:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::But the commercials ''did'' make up fake words, other than just café. They replaced the "e" in regular words with "é" to form fake ones, like "commuté". Actually, I was reminded of those commercials, too! [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 14:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I was reminded of those comemrcials, also. The making up of words with ending é's, the fancying up of compy to compé, and even the fancying up of joke to joké. it reminds me of the MCCafé commercials. — {{User:Young Roy/sig}}
::::Aaaand me too. In particular, the notion of the added é making everyday objects more special (or, though McDonald's doesn't say so outright, more quasi-European). [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think it's a reference to McDonalds. In TGS #11 the phrase "trés cuté" was used, pronouncing é in cuté the same as it's used in this cartoon. Considering that TBC have used accented e's similarly in the past makes me doubt that this is a reference to a recent advertisement campaign. That and referencing a McDonald commercial would be really lame.--[[Special:Contributions/68.211.112.7|68.211.112.7]] 00:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

== The Cheat Smiling ==

Another instance of the cheat smiling. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 14:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:So put it in. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 16:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::No, I'd rather be lazy. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 21:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::But you just posted on this talk page twice. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 21:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Too bad. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 00:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

== Trivial Trivia ==

'''Eighty-thousand pennies is 800 dollars.'''

Is this obvious fact really necessary? --[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 14:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:I would leave it in, but that's just me. i say take it to STUFF. lol {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 16:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::I found it helpful. Originally I thought 80.000 pennies would be only 80 dollars, because I'm not too familiar with your currency system. (Edited because UI realized I just suck at math. However, my point still stands.) --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 16:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:::It's best to keep it just for those who might not know US currency too well. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== new design ==

Anyone else notice that Stong Sad has a new design is this toon?--[[Special:Contributions/66.29.169.1|66.29.169.1]] 16:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:[[Strong_Sad_Evolution|Yes]], apparently. Nevermind. --[[Special:Contributions/66.29.169.1|66.29.169.1]] 16:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== new pages ==

Should we have a page for all the new computers? Or even better, just have a page for ALL other computers, including like the Block & Zappy, and have like Lappy 486 (Main article[[Lappy 486]]) it could work.--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 20:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

==What's in a name?==

It all started about...hmm, during late-junior high/early-high school I guess. When I was first getting into online message boards. I was frequenting a particular message board and had to have a name. I wasn't very creative in late-junior high early-high school (don't remember the first year) so I simply refered to myself as a Nameless Face in the Crowd. This was back in the day when you had to keep typing in your username everytime you wanted to post a message. There was no use for accounts and messages didn't have to contain text if the title had all the info you wanted to say. I eventually got tired of typing this over and over so I shortened it to NFITC. Soon after I started doing this, I joined the IRC channel that was linked to this message board. A user there was trying to figure out how to pronounce my acronym. The closet thing he came up with was "Infancy". Another user there, k0rn, decided to convert the word into some form of 1337-speak and came up with 1nfan¢33. So, thus my name is as it is today (see above). It is a name I gave myself and I'm more proud of it than my given name. :)

==How I met Homestar Runner==

I had not even heard of his existance until my wedding day (of all days) when some of my groomsmen were talking about Trogdor. (This was May of 2003, when Troggy was still new). I thought they were really strange. I asked my best man about it and he said it was from the "Home Star Runner" website. Well, for the next two weeks I, understandably, didn't bother to think on it. When I saw him again, though, he showed me the website. We watched some of the Strong Bad emails (starting with dragon of course) and I laughed myself silly on almost every one of them (at least the ones where he had the compy). I bookmarked the page and have been a regular viewer ever since.

==How I found the Wiki==

[[Homsar]] is my favorite character in the H*R universe. If you don't believe me, check out the graphic at the top of this page and my user box below. :) Anyway, I was looking through the H*R store and saw that the Homsar shirts have "his famous tagline: Raised by a Cup of Coffee on the back". I don't ever remember Homsar saying that so I wondered what his origins really were. So I went to Google to see if I could find out more about Homsar, his origins and such. I typed [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2Bhomsar+%2B%22raised+by+a+cup+of+coffee%22&btnG=Google+Search ''+Homsar +"raised by a cup of coffee"''], and the first link that came up was the article about the email [[interview]]. I noticed it was a wiki site. Although I'm not really sure what the word "Wiki" derives it's origins from (ACupOfCoffee answered this on my discussion page), I clicked on the link that came up. I was shocked to find such a detailed information archive of all things H*R! Even scripts and references to things I wouldn't even know of otherwise! I almost loved this wiki as much as the H*R website and I quickly signed up to be a member.

==Fun Facts about me==
*My first contribution was a Fun Fact in [[fingers]] about Homestar's foam finger turning into a baseball glove. (Currently bottom of remarks list)
*My largest contribution (so far) is the start of the [[Arrow'd Guy]] at Work Gallery with the exception of "ARROW'D II".
*I have voted at least 24 times to various [[STUFF]] material.

Since I now know that people are coming here I think I need to offer something. Here are some Homestar-isms that have become somewhat running gags between my wife and I:

:"Wagon fulla pamcakes"
:"Yeah, yoo pwobabwy wight"
:"Ima gonna go....place"
:"Are you asking for a CHALLEENGE?!?!"
:"Yessir. Yessir I am."
:"Computer over? Virus equals very yes? That's not a good prize!"
:"Oooh! Sweet mercy! This is orful! . . . Oof! I think I'm going to puke my pants!"
:"The good times are OVER!!"
:"Meh, Strong Bad, Meh!"
:"Where's my cottage? . . . TROGDOR!!!" (I'm gonna make her a shirt of that and put the pic here I hope :) )
:Practically anything from the Marzipan answering machines. They need more of those.

Some of my favorite quotes:

:Practically anything Homsar says
:"Yeah, that's not true"
:"Today-bor day is a labors day!"
:"Be careful with that. That's my only The Cheat. <girl throws The Cheat> Uhh, that doesn't count as being careful"
:"Yeah! Fluffy-Puff Marshmellows are just like water! Why ever drink again?!"

==Transcript==

''{A view of Strong Bad from behind, sitting in his basement typing at the Corpy on a folding table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checking emails at home from your worrrrk computer, ''{the view shifts to a closeup of the screen}'' is kinda like playing first person shooters with your girlfriend. It kinda ruins them booooth.

<blockquote class="corpy email" style="border:#ddd;border-bottom:#ccc;">
Dear Strong Bad, 
my brother had a friend over today and he drove 
me crazy!! What should I do about it? 
 
Crudfully, Henry Wisner WI
<div style="border:none;background:#08089c"></div>
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dear. Streer. Beer." He reads the closing as a question, as though he's not believing what he's reading, and says "Wisconsin" in place of "WI".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before insane parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch. The hatch is being knocked at from inside}'' locked him in the attic.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent.

''{The attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's fingers are wiggling through a gap.}

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know we don't have an a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, fine! When we taped him to the ceiling.

''{The air vent transforms into Lil' Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape. Pan down to Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' That'll teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that Bubble Tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap!

''{Pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' We were out of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

''{cut to Lil' Strong Sad, who is smiling}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Haha! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{cut to a top shot of Lil' Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kids always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image with a top hat}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image of a person}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs and like rabbit-shaped image}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z and like image of a man, shaking slightly}'' Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door.

''{The cut-out image raises his arm. Cut to Lil' Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, anyway, Strong Bad [sic]  and Scotty Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ahahaha! ''{pan left to show Lil' Strong Sad}'' That's a good one!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{holds stomach with both hands, making dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Ohohoho!

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

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this ''{raises brick}'' definite brick to Scotty Titi's face! EH!

''{Cut to wide shot as Lil' Strong Bad throws brick at Lil' Strong Sad, which lands harmlessly on the ground.}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me.

''{Cut to the door to Strong Mad's room. A loud smacking noise is heard from within, causing the whole house to shake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Mad was going through some... ahem... changes in those days.

''{Cut to Teen Strong Mad in his room, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY". He has acne, facial hair, curly hair, and large glasses.}''

'''TEEN STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice cracking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend—

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad sitting in front of the couch in the basement with copies of ''Time'' magazine on the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —by exposing him as a ''real''ginary friend. ''{As he says this, Lil' Strong Bad pops out from behind the couch with a sack of "Fat Dumb White Flour"}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Aha! ''{empties flour onto floor; Lil' Strong Sad looks surprised momentarily and Lil' Strong Bad starts looking inside the now empty sack}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks, big brother. I've always wanted to pit my skills ''{pats belly}'' against a pile of cake flour!

''{screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, at one point, I tried to... ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad facing away from the screen, slowly zooming in}'' Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad with purple liquid around his mouth. Two empty bottles of Blue Drink are visible.}

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman!

''{The two imaginary friends appear; Frishy Freshy Dragonman is half-dragon half-man and Scotty Titi is a lump wearing a hat}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Wait. ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad and Lil' Strong Sad}'' Scotty Titi is just a lump? ''{cut to Scotty}'' A mound? ''{cut to closeup of Scotty}'' A pile?

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Cut to the two imaginary friends. Frishy Freshy Dragonman burninates Scotty Titi.}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' Can I go now?

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You ''{types "Ya"}'' still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know. I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooter]] is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective.

===Trivia===
*This is Lil' Strong Sad's first speaking role.
*The back of Lil' Strong Bad's mask has what appears to be a Velcro strap, as opposed to strings. This is similar to how children wear shoes with Velcro on them instead of laces.

===Remarks===
*[[The Stick]] in this email has a solitary leaf, presumably because it is younger and still alive.
*In [[yes, wrestling]], Strong Bad said that Homestar Runner had an imaginary tag-team partner named "Gary the Legend".
*The [[Corpy NT6]] is assumed to be an all-in-one computer, and yet there appears to be a [[Datum Center computer]] attached to it, as if the Corpy NT6 was actually a separate computer tower and monitor. ''(See Inside References)''
**While a Datum Center Computer is presumably attached to it, the only wire visible is the one hooked up the Corpy NT6.
*Lil' Strong Bad tries to [[Peeing|pee]] on Scotty Titi.
*Strong Mad has a [[Trogdor]] poster in his room, which seems impossible as Trogdor was invented on the spot in [[dragon]]. This, combined with the fact that Strong Bad already envisioned Trogdor, may imply this story isn't [[History According to Strong Bad|entirely true]].
*This is the first email since [[being nice]] to have the normal Strong Bad Email file type (sbemail#). The two previous, [[email thunder]] and [[hremail3184]] used sbemailtwohundred and hremail3184, respectively.

===Goofs===
[[Image:ghoust_image.PNG|thumb|200px|Ghost photography]]
*During the scene where Lil' Strong Bad is drilling hole in the brick, Strong Bad says "So, anyway, Strong ''Bad'' and Scotty Titi..." rather than "Strong ''Sad'' and Scotty Titi..."
*Strong Bad apparently does the impossible feat of twisting his arms in a complete circle after he dumps the flour "on" Scotty Titi. (to the viewer, he flips the bag of flour by twisting his arms counter-clockwise, then does it again to turn the bag rightside-up.)
**Not only that, but his arms appear to go through each other, as his arms don't cross when the bag is flipped upside-down.
***Furthermore, the thumbs on his gloves remain in the same orientation whether holding the bag of flour upside-down or right-side-up.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was released, a very faint outline of Strong Bad's face would be visible when the screen fades after Strong Bad throws a brick.

===Inside References===
*The computer console Strong Bad uses is one of the Datum Center computers as seen in [[isp]]. The monitor itself is the Corpy NT6. ''(See Remarks)''
*Strong Bad's comments about "Crudfully yours" are related to emails that usually end with [[Crapfully Yours]].
*Teenage Strong Mad looks very similar to how he did in Strong Bad's "doodle memory" in [[highschool]].
*Lil' Strong Bad's imaginary friend looks similar to the "Dragon-Man" drawing of [[Trogdor]] in the email [[dragon]].
*The flowery wallpaper is the same as the wallpaper of [[1987]], as seen in the email [[no loafing]].
*When Frishy Freshy Dragonman disappears, he makes the same wheezing sound as when [[Sickly Sam]] disappears.
*"Blue drink" is an example of a [[Nondescript Nouns|nondescript noun]].
*The bandage on Strong Sad's belly button is a reference to [[origins]], when Strong Bad hints at the fact that he drilled Strong Sad's belly button when they were much younger.
*The [[Hanging Objects|Trogdor/Puberty poster]] in Strong Mad's room is based on the [[Trogdor Poster|actual poster]] for sale in the [[Store]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Bubble Tape|Bubble Tape]] is a brand of bubble gum that comes in 6 foot long rolls.
*The rabbit-shaped imaginary friend standing next to Bubs is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Harvey (play)|''Harvey'']], a play and movie about a man who insists that he is friends with Harvey, a six-foot tall talking rabbit that only he can see and hear.
*''[[Wikipedia:Time (magazine)|Time]]'' is an American news magazine created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States.
**''Time: The Game'', which Lil' Strong Sad and Scotty Titi are playing (and which Lil' Strong Sad erroneously refers to as ''Time Magazine: The Game''), was a trivia-based board game inspired by the same newsmagazine. The game was released in 1983 by Time, Inc. and used four question and answer books printed in the same manner as issues of ''Time''.
*[[Wikipedia:Richard Nixon|Richard Nixon]] was 37th [[President]] of the United States of America. [[Wikipedia:Spiro Agnew|Spiro Agnew]] was Nixon's first Vice President.
*The [[Strong Mad's Bass|bass guitar]] in Strong Mad's room bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Höfner 500/1|Höfner 500/1]], an instrument made famous by [[The Beatles]]' bassist [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]].
*Mentioning of illegalization of imaginary friends by insane parents possibly has to do with a recent trend in child-rearing that believes imaginary friends are unhealthy, and an example of mental instability.

::::Maybe it was meant to be the same version, but the small variations are just something the Chaps put in because it's newer. I even spotted some minor changes in young strong bad and strong sad's look, also. [[User:origonalname]]

== Strong Bad annoys himself? ==

I listened to it a dozen times and while Strong Bad is drilling into the brick after talking about other imaginary friends it sounds like he says "Strong Bad and Scotty titi..." instead of "Strong Sad and Scotty titi...". Am I just crazy? {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 13:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
: <strike>Yes, yes you are. And I mean this is the maybe-nicest way I can put it.</strike> Oh my crap! You're right.

== Cosistency? ==
Am I the only one who knows for a fact that Trogdor didn't exist in the time of Lil' Stro Bro? Seems retconned to me. Inconsistency, anyone? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 13:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
:Perhaps Trogdor used to exist in Lil' Strong Bad's mind until [[dragon]], during which he drew him onto paper (albiet requiring a second attempt). Many cartoonists think up ideas for new characters years before they actually drawn the initial concept sketches. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Didnt Strong Mad have a Trogdor poster in this email?

This is probably a stupid thought, but since it doesn't actually ''say'' TROGDOR on the poster in Strong Mad's room, (it says PUBERTY) perhaps Strong Bad ripped off Trogdor from that dragon? Or maybe subconciously drew the same thing based off his childhood memory of it? I know, kind of far fetched. --[[Special:Contributions/76.248.84.243|76.248.84.243]] 15:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Gron Sad has a patch over his "Belly Button". Is this because he had a hole drilled there in [[origins]]? That's the only reason I see, and that was my first reaction. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 13:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I noticed there are two sentences in the script which need rewording: "We pans down to Lil' Strong Bad"''[/sic]'' and "We pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slice". Would the correct form for those be "Pan down to (...)" or how should that be rephrased?

This is a reference to peeing.
: I think that's what the joke was implied to be. I'm going to add it to this email's and the peeing article. The main reason I say so is his lower body isn't shown and he exclaims "Oh no! My new boots!". Also titi/peepee. Kind of rhymes, and Strong Bad seems to say "titi" as if that wasn't what he really meant.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 01:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Sad being very content... ==

He seems to be smiling QUITE a lot in this flashback. Is that noteworthy for the "Strong Sad Smiling" article, since the "Secrets That I Keep" stuff is noteworthy?
:Maybe the reason is because he has a friend. He never has any friends in the modern times, which could be why he's so depressed. [[User:origonalname]]

==Krakow!==
I think it is notable that the onomatopoeia "Krakow" is used, especially with that spelling. While there is no direct mention of Poland (except for [[other days]]...), the linking with the Calvin & Hobbes strip makes it more plausible. The coincidence of TBC using that particular spelling for an explosion is too great to ''not'' be reference to something. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:10, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
: Naw, it's just an onomatopoeia. The fact that "Krakow" is the capital of Poland in no way makes its appearance in this toon any more meaningful or funny. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Two things about So and So here. I think that her face, when it changed, was styled with a Klingon forehead (no, not a reference to the new movie, but Star Trek in General) and this is another instance of her saying a word, it moving across the text baloon, and her stretching it out when said

Forgive me if I'm wrong... and I know we talked about this in the other discussion thread where Tenerrance Love says "My name is Tenerrance Love + My name is Tenerrance Love / My name is Tenerrance Love = My name is Tenerrance Love remainder 3." but I don't think you can possibly get a remainder that is not an integer. -Accountless avenger "Don't make me get an account!"
: Three things: It's noted, of course that is a reference and get an account. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 00:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
::On the math side of things: Yes, you can get a non-integer remainder. When you do an integer divide, you determine how many times your divisor can be multiplied to get as close as possible to the original number, then subtract that product from the original number to get the remainder. It's not true division, however.
::So, int-divide 111/3 by 4, for example: 11.333333333 / 4 = 2, remainder 3.333333333 . (2 x 4 = 8, which is closest to 11 without going over.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
::: Uh... So much math... Can't think. But I jest you are right. It ''is'' possible. I never thought of using decimal dividens.

'''Major Rewrite''' and '''weak keep'''.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Because of this (and I came to this page today to challenge this remark) I propose a re-write:
:::*A remainder 3.33 repeating is not possible in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_division#Division_of_integers integer division], but can be achieved through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_division#Division_of_rational_numbers rational number division] although remainder of such a division is rarely expressed as the quotient will commonly be expressed as a simplified rational number.
:::So the 11.333333333 / 4 = 2, remainder 3.333333333 example will be commonly expressed as 11.3333333/4 which is an irrational number and will be simplified to 17/6. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 20:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC) PS: Math majors rule! :D

I'm sure the Mario gag isn't the only reference, just the only one I could think of (also more relevant in the HR universe as TBC are big Nintendo fans). [[Special:Contributions/173.11.82.162|173.11.82.162]] 18:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
:No. Cheerleader is going to the prom with Cheerleader Brian, who is a male cheerleader called Brian, so So and So calls her Cheerleader Cheerleader because she is a female cheerleader called Cheerleader. It's a joke. No reference. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

== WTR? (What the Robot?) ==

When Japanese Culture Greg is Uncanny Valley'd, I noticed distinct wires in his inside. Does this mean <strike>Mrs. Crabbable</strike> he is an android too? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
:I noticed that too. Notable? {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 16:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:: It really doesn't look much like wires to me. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:26, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Nor me. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:49, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
::::They just look like intestines to me. If they were wires and he was a robot, he would have exploded or caught fire when he was shot with the freakishly large laser. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 01:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

== TENERROW'D ==
Did anyone else notice that when TOMPKINS was TENERROW'D he had 'ten arrows' in him? I think this is intentional.
[[Special:Contributions/66.93.122.4|66.93.122.4]] 03:29, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
: Huh, interesting. The obvious pun was Tenerence + Arrow'd; I didn't even think to count them. Mind, you can see ten points, but not ten feathers. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:02, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::Hm. Maybe it's a reference to that optical illusion, where there are more feathers than tips. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 11:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Or it's a reference to the fact that Strong Bad is a poor artist, or the fact that Tompkins is turned part-way. Not everything is a reference! Stick to talking about the ten arrows in this subtopic. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::::OK, well I don't think it's a reference, just a play on Tenerence's name. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 20:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::What a convenient double meaning! Ever think it could be both? [[Special:Contributions/168.179.160.71|168.179.160.71]] 23:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::This is one of those rare cases where my opinion is, intentional or not, it's interesting enough to be notable. That said, i think it probably was intentional. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:48, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

== So and So ==

Two things about So and So here. I think that her face, when it changed, was styled with a Klingon forehead (no, not a reference to the new movie, but Star Trek in General) and this is another instance of her saying a word, it moving across the text baloon, and her stretching it out when said
:when I first saw that, I though she looked like someone from star trek. So I though it was because Sci-Fi Greg was her date. But he was not her date, Open Source Greg was. [[User:Origonalname112]]
:: So definitely a Star Trek reference, but not the new movie. At least, not specifically. Also, even if you are not logged in, please sign your posts. Your opinion will be more notable as an IP than as an annony. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== Hit by cupid's sparrow==
Changing Arrow'd to Sparrow'd seems like a definite reference to what Michael Scott did in the office. "I was hit by cupid's sparrow! Funny little bird, but he gets the job done." Do Matt and Mike watch the office?
: I [[dan]]'t know about The Office or if the Chaps watch it, but I don't see how this refers to Cupid in any way. Not really a reference. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
::I'm not saying it is a reference to cupid, i'm saying it is a reference to the office.
::: Oops, hey, no. Inturpreted that wrong. Yeah, sounds like a reference now. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
== Remainder 3.3 repeating ==
Forgive me if I'm wrong... and I know we talked about this in the other discussion thread where Tenerrance Love says "My name is Tenerrance Love + My name is Tenerrance Love / My name is Tenerrance Love = My name is Tenerrance Love remainder 3." but I don't think you can possibly get a remainder that is not an integer. -Accountless avenger "Don't make me get an account!"
: Three things: It's noted, of course that is a reference and get an account. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 00:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
::On the math side of things: Yes, you can get a non-integer remainder. When you do an integer divide, you determine how many times your divisor can be multiplied to get as close as possible to the original number, then subtract that product from the original number to get the remainder. It's not true division, however.
::So, int-divide 111/3 by 4, for example: 11.333333333 / 4 = 2, remainder 3.333333333 . (2 x 4 = 8, which is closest to 11 without going over.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
::: Uh... So much math... Can't think. But I jest you are right. It ''is'' possible. I never thought of using decimal dividens. So this fact is well disputed, but I think it is worth a mention that no integer whole number) can get a repeating remainder. '''Major Rewrite''' and '''weak keep'''.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Because of this (and I came to this page today to challenge this remark) I propose a re-write:
:::*A remainder 3.33 repeating is not possible in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_division#Division_of_integers integer division], but can be achieved through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_division#Division_of_rational_numbers rational number division] although remainder of such a division is rarely expressed as the quotient will commonly be expressed as a simplified rational number.
:::So the 11.333333333 / 4 = 2, remainder 3.333333333 example will be commonly expressed as 11.3333333/4 which is an irrational number and will be simplified to 17/6. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 20:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC) PS: Math majors rule! :D

== Robo-ko ==

What evidence do we have that it's a reference to the exact model currently on the page? Japanese robotics labs have made numerous artificial human robots in recent times. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.175|132.183.140.175]] 20:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
: I see it as that robot. I remember seeing a robotics video once, and that model was the one I saw. '''Keep this fact'''.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== Quirky Anime Voice ==

Stop me if someone pointed this out somewhere already, but the way J.C. Greg says "Chizuko" reminds me a lot of the way Strong Sad says "anime" in [[TrogdorCon '97]]. I'm not sure, but I think there's somewhere else where someone says some Japanese/Anime word in a quirky voice like that, too, but I can't remember where. I think it should be pointed out somewhere, somehow.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 11:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

== Ugly One Favoritism ==

In the last issue of TGS, Ugly One obtained the record for being the only sole survivor of an issue twice... we decided at the time to not give it a mention in the article, as we felt that this ratio would most certainly change in the future. This issue marks her third time, so what about this now? Uggs is at least two up on all the other girls. I don't see how it could hurt to mention she currently holds this record over the others.[[Special:Contributions/24.235.190.192|24.235.190.192]] 17:48, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

== Spirit Fingers? ==

Is Cheerleader Brian's "Spiiiriiiit!" hand movements/twitching a reference to ''Bring It On'' 's "Spirit Fingers" line?

Green Helmets

NFITC1 — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:33:08 GMT

NFITC1: /* Complete Filmography */

[[Image:Greenhelmet.png|thumb|150px|There's like fifty of these guys.]]

'''Green Helmets''' are the generic, expendable members of the [[Cheat Commandos]], much like the "[[Wikipedia:Greenshirts (G.I. Joe)|Greenshirts]]" in [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1989 TV series)|G.I. Joe]] (or the [[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]] equivalent, [[Wikipedia:Redshirt (stock character)|Redshirts]]). As such, their main purpose is to go on dangerous missions in place of the regular Cheat Commandos cast, so that none of the main characters have to be killed off. [[Gunhaver]] doesn't seem to be too concerned with their safety, since there are "like fifty of them". They come in "discount three packs", where they are sold in groups of three. Gunhaver does not respect them for this.

A sketch of a jolly Green Helmet was revealed in the [[Sketchbook 2006|Sketchbook]] in December 2006.

[[Image:Flashfight.PNG|thumb|right||In Charge of Stuff!!]]

'''Admiral Flashfight''' is the most powerful member of the [[Cheat Commandos]], if he can be referred to as one. He is a representative of the Bureau of Elite Fighting Forces (alternatively, the Bureau of Every Elite Fighting Force) and speaks with a British accent. His name sounds similar to the word "flashlight", which makes the fact he owns a flashlight less than surprising.

His first true appearance in an episode of Cheat Commandos was in [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]], in which he took an active role in the way the unit worked. He fired [[Silent Rip]], [[Gunhaver]], and [[Crackotage]] from the roster, and arrested the [[Blue Laser Commander]]. Despite the Cheat Commandos now being actually successful, the fired members were unsatisfied and plotted against him.

He seems to be a parody of G.I. Joe's [[Wikipedia:Hawk (G.I. Joe)|General Hawk]].

Arrow'd Guy

NFITC1 — Mon, 11 May 2009 13:31:17 GMT

NFITC1: /* Arrow'd Guy at Work */ Added TGS15's Arrow'd Guy appearance

[[Image:cerebellumd.png|thumb|right|250px|The Giant Brain Mech CEREBELLUMs Cheerleader]]

'''Arrow[[-'d|'d]] Guy''' is the tormentor of the members of the [[Teen Girl Squad]]. His many professions include an archer (who shoots arrows from his mouth), a truck driver, owner of a Pan-Asian Cuisine stand, a brain mech pilot, ship captain, two judges ([[Duplicate Characters|at the same time]]), a play critic, and a witch doctor. Oddly, the character's name is never given in the actual cartoons, and he is known as "Man With The Huge Mouth" in some circles, since his mouth is frozen in a large gape in most of his appearances. However, he is identified as the Arrow'd Guy on the [[Store]]'s caption for the [[Everybody Everybody Poster]].

His murderous, but not apparently malicious, agenda consists of appearing from nowhere to commit lethal assault and vanishing again.

Arrow'd Guy

NFITC1 — Mon, 11 May 2009 13:20:14 GMT

NFITC1: /* Appearances */ Added TGS Issue15 ref

[[Image:cerebellumd.png|thumb|right|250px|The Giant Brain Mech CEREBELLUMs Cheerleader]]

'''Arrow[[-'d|'d]] Guy''' is the tormentor of the members of the [[Teen Girl Squad]]. His many professions include an archer (who shoots arrows from his mouth), a truck driver, owner of a Pan-Asian Cuisine stand, a brain mech pilot, ship captain, two judges ([[Duplicate Characters|at the same time]]), a play critic, and a witch doctor. Oddly, the character's name is never given in the actual cartoons, and he is known as "Man With The Huge Mouth" in some circles, since his mouth is frozen in a large gape in most of his appearances. However, he is identified as the Arrow'd Guy on the [[Store]]'s caption for the [[Everybody Everybody Poster]].

His murderous, but not apparently malicious, agenda consists of appearing from nowhere to commit lethal assault and vanishing again. In each instance, a gruff but disinterested male voice announces the verb by which Arrow'd Guy has attack'd. It is not known whether this announcing voice is that of Arrow'd Guy. Arrow'd Guy has no apparent motivation except, possibly, a loathing of conversational pauses. He is perhaps a brute force of nature in the notebook doodle universe.

NFITC1: /* It can't be THAT unintelligible */

== Awww... ==

You beat me to it! At least I still made the forum thread re.--[[User:Mariofan1000|Mariofan1000]] 07:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:Me too! I was hoping to follow up on my Pistols for Pandas transcript success with this! Oh well, it doesn't matter; I can probably add in detail when he's done. {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 08:29, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
::Ah well. I had to get my own first time too! I'm sure there's plenty of things to fix up though. -[[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 09:11, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, it looks like you did a great jorb as far as I can see {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 09:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

== Apply directly to the throat! ==

Isn't it a parody to Head-On's slogan? Also, isn't the fact that it is a "throat-iforgotwhatitiwassomethingrelatedrtoclogged" is similar to the fact that powdered drinks just taste horrible and clog throats if taken dry, or something?--{{User:Darkangel/sig}} 07:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:I say it's [[TTATOT]]. Many products and medications are supposed to be applied directly to something.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:10, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::I dunno, it seems pretty similar to me. The intonation of how Homestar says "apply directly to the esophagus!" reminds me greatly of Head-On's repeated "apply directly to the forehead!" slogan. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Good Stuff ==
:The way Homestar says "That's good stuff" reminds me of another cartoon. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 00:30, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::What cartoon does it remind you of? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::It personally made me think of [[environment]]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 00:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::That's the one. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 02:46, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Art style? ==

The characters are all drawn in much older styles, rather than their current ones. Is this worth mentioning?
:It is dated "Copyright 2001" at the beginning, and meant to take place before [[some kinda robot]], so the old art style would fit.

== Homestar's Voice ==

It seems to me that after Homestar's voice clears up, it's changed from his old voice to his modern one, suggesting that the content of the Melonade Throat Closers packet is responsible for that change. Or am I just crazy?

== Tandy email count ==

While there were 38 sbemail cartoons that had emails answered on the Tandy, [[spring cleaning]] featured five emails checked, which if counted individually, puts the email count at 43 (37 before it blew up in [[gimmicks]], though).

:And if you count that, you should also count the very first e-mail Strong Bad ever checked, (as seen in [[lady...ing]]) bringing the total up to 44. --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 17:04, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
::[[personal favorites|"What is your favorite phrase? -Trixie"]]. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 21:41, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:: AND the second email in [[credit card]]. [[User:FalconPuncher/sig]] hr:min, # Month Year (LETTERS)
:::Let's not forget [[Greeting Cards]], where the fourth card suggests it took place in 2002, and [[E-mail Birds]], where three emails where checked ''and'' answered. And by the way, if Strong Bad (in earliest animated style) used the Tandy to check the first e-mail from Fabrosi in lady...ing, how could there be a time in 2001 when Strong Bad gets that computer from Homestar? Now there's a little time flaw right there.--[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 16:17, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::::And ''that's'' why I like this wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::I don't get it... why? {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 19:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== butt1 - and1 ==

The article currently lists "Butt1" as a reference to the b-ball apparel company "AND1". The reference seems a little tenuous to me. It seems to me that the only similarity is that they're both ___1 words. It could just as easily be a reference to Pier 1. I'm not to familiar with the AND1 company; is their logo or anything else similar to the Butt1 drink? Any comments? - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 13:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
: It might be seen as a play on words, using the homophones "but" and "butt".
: I don't think it's a reference to "and1" or "Pier One" or any other one... it's a play on the earlier mention of there being "BUT ONE flavor" of melonade.
::oh yea.. "but one flavor" makes much more sense. Though i get the "but1/and1" connection with them both being conjunctions, i think "but one flavor" makes more sense. - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 19:18, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

==Super Golden Crisp jingle==
Homestar's song about taking a bath in melonade sounds like the 1980s jingle for Super Golden Crisp (formerly Sugar Crisp). I'm not going to put it in without mentioning it here first. Check this out: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w-eAExni4c] [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 20:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:That's what I thought, too. I was wondering if it was only me. -[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 22:11, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

== A drinking stretch ==

It's really a stretch, so I did add it to the article, but in April 2003 (a month after March...) Homestar order 3 cool drinks for three cool guys. He never ends up drinking it, but he talked about them. Retcon? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:34, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:And in June of '03, Homestar pours Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's computer. A bit far off... I still think the witch's brew is the best bet. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:01, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
::But Homestar mentions witch's brew way back in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], in October '02, so that seems like it would break said "contract" if it were indeed the drink. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 00:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::I was about to add that, arguably, that's Strong Bad. But then... there's the Easter egg. And as I added to the page previously, Homestar is said to drink Mountain Dew in [[techno]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:At the end of [[sbemail68]] released on March 31, 2003, Homestar walks out with what Mike Chapman says is a cup of coffee perhaps punctuating the end of his contract. -- [[User:Wiki102938|Wiki102938]] 09:26, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Randy 400! ==

I don't know if this should be mentioned, but, randy, other than being a name also is a word meaning sexually arroused. Anyone think TBC would do that?
:No. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::Absolutely not.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 18:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::K, didn't think so.
::::No, no way. And please sign your posts. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 20:37, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Thats Good Stuff ==

Wasn't this phrase used for the email Enviornment? When Strong Bad watered Marzipans plants with Cigarette Butts, the coughed then said "Oh... thats good stuff!" Do you think this is an inside refrence?
:It's more of a drug-use joke. I've seen this happen in some other cartoons as well before the Marzipan's plants thing. There are too few occurrences of this on H*R to classify it as a running gag, and, therefore, mention it as an Inside Reference. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 16:22, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::An inside reference is stated, somewhere, to be any reference to a previous toon, game, or any other material that [[The Brothers Chaps]] made, running gag or not. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 20:39, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== It can't be THAT unintelligible ==

It sounds to me like "I have a face, and it gets in your gut"... which doesn't make an OUNCE of sense, but that's all I can get from it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:It sounds like "Oh, I have a face, and <something> gun..." to me. "...it gets in your..." would fit where that <something> is. Again, that is also equally nonsensical, but this IS Strong Bad that's saying it. No one in that universe makes sense all the time. But "gun" would be out of left field even for them. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 16:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:: I think he said "and it gets the job done" which makes some more sense. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 19:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
:::I thought he said "And it gets in your gun." {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
::::I hear "Oh, I have a face, and it is all done, I'm Strong Bad, he's The Cheat and I'm Strong Bad." Not sure how much sense it makes, perhaps he's making a joke about the art style and [[Strong Bad Evolution|how many times it's been changed since then]], but whatever the case, that's what i hear. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::I hear five distinct syllables between "and" and "I'm", though. "it is all done" is only four syllables. One thing we all seem to agree on, though, is that it's "face", not "place" as was originally written in the article (seems someone changed it since last I looked.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::PS. This should totally be this week's QotW. It's appropriate ''and'' it would solve this [[Fan Costumes '08|conumdrum]].
:::Huh.. I'm going to vote for [[User:Jellote|Jellote]]'s interpretation. That is...if we're taking a vote. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 03:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

== Okay, this is really bugging me. ==

I added it in the remark's section, but this hremail opened up a huge plot hole. Strong Bad was surprised when he discovered hremails in email thunder, but why? If he had already seen them in progress here, and in fact was convinced to start his email show because of this, wouldn't he remember his own email show's beginning? Does that bother any one else or just me? [[User:TheTylor|TheTylor]] 03:39, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:If you added it to remarks, what are you trying to get out of mentioning it here too? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::I don't think it's really a huge plot hole. Taking the idea and pretending it was his own, to the point that years later he has entirely forgotten that he got the idea from Homestar, or even ever saw Homestar answering emails, fits his arrogance and self-centered character to a tee. [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 14:41, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's technical domain ==

*Strong Bad is unfamiliar with net jargon such as "email", "internet", "www", "hyperlinks", "AOL keywords", but understands and uses "domain" correctly.
I {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Hremail_7&diff=prev&oldid=647665 removed}} this because it seems to me he's only echoing homestar and there's no implication he knows what it means, but it got {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Hremail_7&diff=647674&oldid=647665&rcid=606811 put back}} because apparently someone thinks "the context of the phrase implies understanding. He didn't just 'echo' Homestar, but expresses competence at performing a complex task for a complete noob. think linguistically!". Rather than revert warring, i'm bringing it up here, because even though he's ACTING confident he'll be able to do it, it seems like he's doing just that, acting. It fits his personality. I don't think there's any indication at all that he knows what he's doing. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:Apparently Jay {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Hremail_7&diff=647675&oldid=647674&rcid=606812 agrees}} with me... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::Hey! How dare you put words in my... what? Oh, yeah, you're right. I do agree. ;) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::I agree too.. he could easily be just echoing... too speculative to assume he understands it - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 13:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::He talks about finding "my own domain" as a direct contrast to using "myname@yourname.com," which would suggest that he understands yourname.com to be the domain.[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 20:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::::Yes, but that's right after homestar implies that contrast in the first place. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

==Strong Bad is a liar==

Okay, let me finally clear this up. Strong Bad wouldn't mind showing he knows Homestar's email address in some SBemails, but in [[Email Thunder]], he is surprised. Or acting surprised. You see, getting an email show idea from Homestar is not cool, so Strong Bad would act surprised and even deny he thought Homestar had an email address, just to cover up this event that he had no control over. More to back this up is that he later lied by saying he doesn't know how to type with boxing gloves and Abdi, in the Homestar Runner universe, only emailed Strong Bad because The Cheat made him. My theory is that he'd also lie about where he got the email show idea (or an email address in general). {{unsigned|TheFunmachine|11:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)}}
:This discussion would be more appropriate on the forum, as it really has nothing to do with the ''article'' here on the wiki. That said, I agree. (and his lies are [[Blatant Lies|pretty well documented]]). I think it's quite likely that his surprise in Email Thunder was genuine, after enough time denying the truth, it gets pushed out of conscious thought and he truly believes his version of history. [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 15:02, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== Wait a Sec? ==

In the Sbemail [[Gimmicks]] Strong Sad says that Strong Bad got the Tandy at a garage sale for like 15 dollars! But here he got it out of the trash for like free! I think that's a major goof! --[[User:Stong L. Bod|Stong L. Bod]] 21:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:Not quite. Strong Sad says that Strong Bad ''could'' get a computer ''like his'' at a garage sale for, like, fifteen dollars. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:57, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

== As a three-way response to comments 13, 14, and 16... ==

Word on [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15304&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30 the forum] is that this is all a big retcon, and considering all the inconsistencies we've picked out...

since there has been a large pile of inconsistencies coming from this toon, i think they should have their own section under Fun Facts. also, one more for the pile before i add it in: if homestar had his own email show before sbemails began, and had knowledge of internet and technology, and PREVIOUSLY OWNED THE TANDY, then what's up with his reaction in [[50 emails]]? --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 12:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

*Look at the design gap between 7 and 49, sure, maybe Homestar is a little slow on answering new e-mails, but it is quite possible that he forgot about his show for a while, and being Homestar, forgot about e-mails. Now, don't you bring up [[credit card]], I don't have an answer to that. --[[User:The Swedish Ace|The Swedish Ace]] 18:57, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

:: I agree with there being a separate section for Inconsistencies/Canon Breaks in this email, since there are so many. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 18:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Is there any Inside-Ref significance to March 2003? I had a quick look through the [[H*R.com updates 2003|toons of that time]]... and he's got a cup of coffee at the end of [[caper]], which came out at the end of March 2003. Is anyone bored enough to look through all of Homestar's appearances from ca. 2001 to caper and see if that's the first time he's seen drinking or talking about (or bathing in, I guess) a non-Melonade drink? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Homestar Runner opens his own [[doughnut]] stand, sparking a fierce marketing war between himself and Bubs.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|Marzipan}}, {{film|Bubs}}, {{film|The King of Town}}, {{film|Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' [[Marzipan's House]], [[Do-Nots]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]

'''Date:''' Monday, April 6, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 3:56

'''Page Title:''' Hey There, Doughnut Rush!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is seen cutting out dough rings in Marzipan's Kitchen. Marzipan enters}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's sweet! Are you making me homemade doughnuts for the 16th anniversary of our 17th breakup?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. No way. Um, no way. You know how I've always dreamed of being my own boss at the doughnut factory!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' No, since when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, just last night! ''{Clouds fill the screen, then recede to the edges. A scene depicting Homestar's dream is shown. He is seen wearing a shirt with the Mexican flag on it, standing next to a high-jumping pit. He has only one leg}'' I dreamt that I was a French long-jump champion with eight wooden legs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' And...that made you want to start a doughnut shop?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir! Like I said, it's a boyhood dream of mine. Could you pass me that recipe?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Picks up a small note from the table}'' There's just this square of TP that says... ''{cut to a close-up of the note}'' "dog-nut" on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah. That's it. My secret recipe.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Sighs}'' I'm gonna go talk to anyone else but you.

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is in a makeshift doughnut stand formed from a large [[cardboard box]] marked "Do-Nots" with a window cut out of it. A fat fryer can be seen bubbling in the back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I honestly wonder how many million doughnuts I'll sell on my first day. Three? Four? Eight? I've gotta be ready for the 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush, you know? Ooh, here it comes.

''{Bubs, with a red face and an exceptionally furious expression, enters from the right. As he speaks, cartoon smoke clouds emit from his head.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{with forced restraint}'' Well, hello, Hooomestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, doughnut rush. What can I get for you?

'''BUBS:''' ''{continuing his forced restraint}'' It's really great to very see you, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{nervous}'' Uhhm... it's good to see you, too, I guess.

''{As Bubs says the following, we cut to a shot revealing that Homestar's stand is right next to Bubs', facing it, and that Homestar's legs are outlined under the window in dotted lines}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm ''delighted'' you've decided to set up shop about ''ten feet away'' from me!

''{cut back to Homestar and Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, we could be a conglomerate, like KFC-Taco Bell-Raddisson-Texas Instruments-NASA!

'''BUBS:''' Yes. That is a really outstanding ideeeaaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, Bubs? Are we in a fight?

''{as Bubs speaks, his face slowly returns to its normal blue color}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly calmer}'' What do you think, man?! You opened up a competing doughnut place right across the street from me!

''{zooms out to the gap between the stores. Note that there is no street, but a field}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{examining the grass between the two stands}'' The street?

'''BUBS:''' Right across the way from me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought you sold questionable medical coverage.

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs, with his Concession Stand visible in the background with a sign "Why not Donuts?" on the original sign.}''

'''BUBS:''' That was two hours ago. ''{changes to his normal expression, now speaking normally}'' Now I'm in the doughnut bidness. How's that coverage working out for you, by the way?

''{Cut back to the two and the box.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a big stack of paperwork}'' Great so far!

'''BUBS:''' I gotta get ready for the big 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush. When next we meet, 'twill be on the doughnut field of battle! ''{Cut to a silhouette of the scene. Bubs marches to his stand imitating a military drum cadence}'' Dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dubbaa da dup dup dup!

''{Cut to a shot of a clock that strikes 3:09. Cut back to a shot of the two stands. The King Of Town appears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oof! All right gentlemen, here's how this is gonna go down. I need fried dough so bad it hurts! According to the data I got back from Taco Bell-NASA ''{places a hefty stack of paperwork on the ground}'', we're gonna need in the 3 to 8 million range to maintain my caloric intake. Now, commence marketing bombardment!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mine's is homemade! ''{holds up a spoon with some doughnut batter and a few hairs on it}''

'''BUBS:''' Mine's is shipped from a 3rd world country named Homemáde, so I can legally print "From Homemade" on the prepackaged package. ''{holds up a package of his doughnuts that says "FROM HOMEMÁDE!"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got grit, gumption, and an adorable speech ''{exaggerating his usual speech impediment}'' impootaboot.

'''BUBS:''' My name's Bubs, I talk hard and fast.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Available in 57 different varieties!

'''BUBS:''' One flavor ''{the word "regular" appears above his head}'', over a hundred different names for it! ''{various names that all are variations of "regular" appear around Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a newspaper}'' Marzipan raves "Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!"

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to a shot of a box of toothpaste labeled "Bubs' Donuts!"; as he says each descriptions, it appears onscreen}'' Fights cavities! Cleans Teeth! ''{A cartoon Bubs appears in the bottom right corner, bearing the following message in a speech bubble}'' The American Dental Association does not approve the preceding statements.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, all right, all right. You both make excellent cases, but I've come to my decision.

'''BUBS:''' Health Inspector! Cheese it, everyone!

''{Bubs closes his stand}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! ''{he disappears in another puff of smoke}''

''{Strong Bad, in silhouette, is seen coming up and walks towards Homestar with a clipboard in his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey potential customer, would you like several million doughnuts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. I don't want ''one''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But do you dough-''not'' want one? Hmmm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm the health inspector, here to hopefully shut you down. Now rub this swab under your grease trap and bring it back.

''{Homestar takes the swab and rubs it on the fat fryer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir, Inspector Heath! ''{Homestar starts humming the theme to Inspector Gadget}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To himself}'' ...And we'll do a little ''{rolls the l}'' bit of ''this''! ''{Strong Bad slaps a note marked "F" on the side of Homestar's stand, causing it to fall over. Smoke begins to rise from it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! My face!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs and walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My delicious fried face! Bubs, is this covered by my questionable medical coverage? At least questionably so? Bubs?

''{Cut to a long shot of both stands in silhouette. Bubs opens the back of his stand and is seen sneaking away.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{to the tune of "Mysterioso Pizzicato"}'' Root, root, root, root, doodloodloodloodloodloo, doot doot doot doo...

''{A circle of "ends" appears, the top of which is pink. A back button appears.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
* The toon's title is a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Ethic of reciprocity|ethic of reciprocity]], commonly known as the "Golden Rule," which is often expressed as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

===Trivia===
*The [[News Articles|newspaper]] reads:
{| style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #999"
| style="color:#999; font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.5em; line-height:1em; padding:5px; text-align:center;" | The Imaginary Newspapes
|-
| style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:2em; padding:5px; text-align=center;" |MARZIPAN RAVES:
|-
| style="color:#999; font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.25em; text-align:center;" | Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!
|-
| style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.1em;" | FCUSA - The Marzipan was stunned today when she woke to find a totally legit donut enterprise operating out of her own dang kitchen. Mexican high jumper Homestar Garcia Colon was unavailable for comment but French long jumper Chateau 'Octo' Etoile broke out the ol' soft shoe.
|}
*At the end of the toon, if you remove Bubs' silhouette using a decompiler, you can see that he is wearing [[the Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman's]] "tH".

===Remarks===
*In Marzipan's kitchen, the sink seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]] has disappeared.
*When Bubs warns that the health inspector is coming, he looks and points in a direction different from the one from which Strong Bad (as a health inspector) comes.
*Though he dreamt he was a French long-jump champion, Homestar is seen with a [[Spanish|Mexican flag]] on his shirt. ''(See Real-World References)'' ''(See Inside References)''
*As evidenced by the mat behind him, Homestar appeared to be in a high-jump competition, not a long-jump.
*Bubs's larger eye changes color depending on the color of his skin.

===Goofs===
* Homestar's "secret recipe" suddenly appears after his dream flashback.
* As Strong Bad enters the scene in a silhouette, a piece pf yellow background appears underneath the bottom-right corner of Bubs' Concession Stand as if it were not level on the ground.
* As Strong Bad pushes over Homestar's Do-Not stand, the swab flies through the cardboard wall.
* A line on Bubs's face delays changing color when he calms down after arguing with Homestar.

===Inside References===
*Homestar claims he was a [[French]] long-jump champion. The French name in the newspaper, "Chateau Etoile" roughly means "Home Star". ''(See Remarks)''
*[[Trivia Time]] is shown in the kitchen.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] in this short.
*Strong Bad pulls the F slip out of [[hammerspace]].
*In Homestar's newspaper, Marzipan is once again referred to as "The Marzipan" as she was in [[Date Nite]]. This is another example of [[integral article]]s before names.
*When the Health Inspector comes up, Bubs says, "Cheese it!", which is what Strong Bad says to Strong Mad and The Cheat when they steal Marzipan's radish in [[The Reddest Radish]].
*Homestar also used the words "Dough-''not''" in place of "not" in [[Weclome Back]].
*"Do-Nots" is phonetically similar to the phrase "doe not", used by Senor Cardgage in [[Senorial Day]] ("You doe NOT want to miss any Senorial Day savings action!!")
*The song played when Bubs and Homestar "fight over" the King of Town is also played during [[No Hands on Deck!]].
*The fanfare playing during Homestar's dream sequence is the last half of the 2007 [[Strong Badathlon]]'s fanfare.

===Real-World References===
* Homestar hums the theme to [[Wikipedia:Inspector Gadget|Inspector Gadget]].
* The flag that Homestar wears in his dream is the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Mexico|flag of Mexico]].
* Several of the companies that Homestar lists as a conglomerate are real companies:
** [[Wikipedia:KFC|KFC]] and [[Wikipedia:Taco Bell|Taco Bell]] are restaurants owned by [[Wikipedia: Yum! Brands|Yum! Brands]].
** [[Wikipedia:Radisson Hotels|Radisson]] is a hotel chain owned by [[Wikipedia:Carlson Companies|Carlson Companies]].
** [[Wikipedia:Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments]] is a semiconductor and electronics maker.
**[[Wikipedia: NASA|NASA]] is the United States space agency, not part of a conglomerate.
*Bubs's line about being able to legally say his doughnuts are "from Homemade" is a reference to an [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] in which Japan supposedly renamed one of its cities to "Usa" in order to claim that its products were "Made in USA".
*Homestar's line about "57 different varieties" refers to the slogan of the American condiment company [[Wikipedia:H. J. Heinz Company|Heinz]].
*The music Bubs hums at the end is a piece called "Mysterioso Pizzicato" and is commonly used as stock music for sneaking characters or villains.

==Bubs Hums==
I think that Bubs is actually humming the villain's theme from Inspector Gadget. That would bookend with Homestar humming the main theme from the show.
:It was clearly Bubs that was humming at the end. He was the one sneaking away, and the voice sounded much more Bubs-like than Homestar-like. [[Special:Contributions/129.64.175.10|129.64.175.10]] 17:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
::The song Bubs was humming at the end is a standard "sneaking" song. It is not specific to anything in particular.

::::Both this and the military drum riff Bubs hums on his way back to his post are references to old cartoons.

[[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 18:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, it's stock music. But the origin of the song he hums at the end (not the drum beat) is "Mysterioso Pizzicato". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

To me, Bubs' "drum" sound as he's marching to his stand strongly resembles the actual drum beat played in [[isp]] when Strong Bad is marching to his hand. The style between the scenes is also pretty similar - a silhouetted character marching to Bubs' stand from the left on a solidly shaded background. Can someone else corroborate my story? [[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 01:05, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't hear "great gumption" during the marketing bombardament. I hear "I've got grit, gumption, and etc..." - [[User: WraythSkitzofrenik|The Wrayth]]

== Homestar and Marzipan Breaking Up ==

==Golden Rule==
I'm pretty sure that the title of this toon is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ethic of reciprocity|the Golden Rule]]: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Does this deserve a place in the article, under the "Real-World References" or something? [[Special:Contributions/64.183.147.250|64.183.147.250]]

== From Usa, Homemadé ==

Potential reference: When I saw the part about donuts made in a country called Homemadé so Bubs could put "homemade" on the box, I thought of the urban legend that Japan had renamed a city to Usa so they could put "Made In USA" on packages of things made there. --[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 21:46, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Was it necessary to change all instances of "donut" to "doughnut"? The former is a common spelling in North America, and "Donut" is what is written in the toon's title. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, but really "donut" is a variation of "doughnut", where the latter, I think, is considered a more formal spelling. --[[Special:Contributions/75.28.91.38|75.28.91.38]] 18:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

:::: These numbers support the fact that "donut" is far more common, so I'd say that since the toon title contains "donut" we should spell it as such, except for taking note of "dognut" being misspelled. [[User:LobStoR|LobStoR]] 05:00, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Note that Bubs' box spells it doughnuts, though, so the "donut" spelling isn't used exclusively in the toon, either. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 05:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Google is not, however, the arbiter of correctness and standardisation. I support using "doughnut" in all instances, aside from where it is distinctly written as "donut" (similarly to how we already do it for "whoa"/"woah" and "all right"/"alright"). See also this discussion: [[HRWiki talk:Manual of Style#Donut vs. Doughnut]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:04, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, per the MoS link and discussion that Dorian provided, combined with the box of Bubs's that I mentioned a second ago, I support doughnut. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 05:08, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::: Just provided the Google hits as a general metric of ''common''-ness... but woah, now that I've heard the logic over in the MoS thread, I'm alright with "doughnut" - as it retains the word "dough" that they are made of, which makes more sense than the brand-name-ish implications behind the spelling "donut" [[User:LobStoR|LobStoR]] 05:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I was supportive of using "donut" to agree with the toon title until I noticed that the page title and url use "doughnut". It appears TBC aren't as big on consistency as we are. Since they seem to use them interchangeably, I suggest we use the more standard "doughnut". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::All right, so I did not see that old discussion, and I'm now noticing that even TBC can't keep it straight within this toon (heck, just look at the page's title.) Hence, I retract the question. (Now if only people would stop trying to connect Bubs' humming to some old NES game that the song he sings ''far far'' predates...) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:07, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

== Taco Bell NASA ==

When KOT said the thing about NASA calculating his calorie intake, I immediately thought of that one Simpsons episode (the 22 stories from Springfield or something like that) were NASA had to calculate Barney's bar tab. Maybe this should be mentioned? Personally, I don't think it should be, but better to be safe and start a discussion than sorry.
[[Special:Contributions/24.12.29.215|24.12.29.215]] 18:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think it's similar enough. Calorie intake VS. Bar tab... not really the same thing. Does anyone else have opinions on the matter? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
::TTATOT. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 03:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Second'd. There are too many "NASA had to calculate X" jokes out there. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 15:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

== Line on Bub's face? ==

In reference to the currently listed "goof":
* A line on Bub's face delays changing color when he calms down after arguing with Homestar.
If he's talking about what I think he's talking about, then this looks like a flash artifact which I don't believe we mention at all unless relevant. Since I'm still not all that knowledgeable in flash I could be mistaken. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 15:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
: If it's true, it's not a flash artifact (or not an unnotable one). But... I don't see it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:55, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
::What I'm seeing is that close to the left edge where his outline is, there's a pixel thick line of blue that is the same shade of Bubs's (should be correctly spelled in any case. His name is "Bubs", not "Bub") outline. Almost as if the "red-head shape" was overlayed on top of his normal head and slowly made more and more transparent before disappearing altogether. I only noticed this when I zoomed in. But like I said, I know little of flash. If this is what he's talking about, not only is the "fact" incorrect, but it's a flash object. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 21:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
:::If you must zoom in to be able to see it, it's not notable. However, if you can see it without zooming in, but doing so is difficult? I'd note it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
::::You can see it very clearly without zooming in. If you go frame by frame, it's most visible between 1248 - 1258, but it's quite visible for a second or two, without freeze-framing. Combined with the eyebrows it makes a squished pentagon shape. I suspect it is the edge of a polygon that is used to mask the top of the circles drawn for Bubs's left eye. — [[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 21:38, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[[Image:newestbubs.png|thumb|right|220px|"100% All Original Bubs!"]]
[[Image:bubsid.PNG|thumb|He doesn't look half bad!]]
== Biography ==
'''Bubs''' (full name: '''Bubs Concession Stand''', as confirmed in [[Homestar Ruiner]]) is the all around fix-it man. He has a round blue head, [[mismatched eyes]] (his right eye is white with a blue iris while his left is simply a black dot), and a permanent toothy smile that moves when he talks. His upper body is orange, and according to Strong Bad, Bubs has flipper arms. He has a green stripe around his middle which, according to Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, is a belt, and his lower half is colored dark gray.

Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell [[Bubs' Concession Stand#Known Items Sold|almost anything]], and has developed a habit for selling ridiculous items at a humorously high price. Bubs is also on the run from at least one collection agency, though at the same time he represents at least one collection agency, as seen in [[other days]]. He also has been seen operating the [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], which he drove down to the beach in [[Weclome Back]]. However, he only sold "exactly zero baloney sandwiches" during his "best year ever." Bubs resells Internet access, although he rips off his sole subscriber, [[Strong Bad]], in 99 different ways (though none of them are "throttling down", as Strong Bad claims). It's likely that not all of his dealings are exactly legal, considering his reaction to a practical joke from Strong Bad in [[lackey]], and trying to dispose of items marked EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B (presumably a human pancreas which he tried to sell to [[Homestar Runner]]) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]]. In his spare time, Bubs reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine, and also hangs out and talks with [[Coach Z]]. Apparently, Coach Z got on Bubs's bad side near Thanksgiving in 2005, and to get even, Bubs made a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the [[Fall Float Parade]]. (Coach Z retaliated by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] stole his concession stand and marched with it in the parade.) In [[narrator]] (February 2006), it was shown that they had patched things up and were once again having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. Bubs also apparently has licenses to do a lot of different things, such as being a Bail Bondsman, Paranormal Investigator, Normal Investigator (not at all associated with "Bubs: Paranormal Investigator"), and "Dr." Bubs (TV/VCR repair). As shown in [[licensed]], Bubs apparently has an inverted and twisted understanding of what quality of product to sell where, due to the fact that he sells apparently "consumer-safe" products on the black market, and hazardous products at the concession stand. (The fact that Bubs sells "consumer-safe" products on the black market isn't entirely true, as the Cheat had an allergy to some ferret [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|ointment]] that Bubs was selling, and the piñatas contained broken glass which injured Homestar.)

Bubs [[Dancin' Bubs|dances]] and attends night courses at [[Disco Tech]]. His facial configuration is puzzling; in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear. In Strong Bad's [[record book]], he was solely declared "Cutest couple."

Bubs's alter-ego is the [[The Thnikkaman|Thnikkaman]]. During Decemberween, he also turns into the Dethemberween Thnikkaman. No one but Homestar seems to suspect any relationship with Bubs and the Thnikkaman.

In [[unnatural]], Bubs was mutated into [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] after being flushed down the toilet. Strong Sad cured this with a bowl of kashi.
[[Image:Bubs 3D variation.PNG|thumb|left|115px|Legitimate 3D business.]]

In [[original]], Strong Bad claimed that there was another Bubs, known as [[Original Bubs]], who had great eyesight and could always see Homestar "from over there". Bubs got angry and claimed that he was the "100% All Original Bubs". He claimed, "If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!" Marzipan claims that there was no such character, but Homestar claims to miss him.

According to a discussion by [[The Deleteheads]] in [[fan club]], Bubs has apparently been married at least twice, since Strong Sad mentions his first wife. In [[Most in the Graveyard]], Bubs claims that many of his distant ancestors invented certain business practices, such as "Bait and Switch" and "No Money Down". It is also mentioned that he has a sister, whom [[Coach Z]] seems to have feelings for, and that Bubs's great-great granduncle was apparently the same person as Coach Z's great good-aunt. If true, this would make [[Bubs and Coach Z's relationship|Bubs and Coach Z]] sixth-fourth-second-fifth cousins, thrice removed, although Bubs claims that [[Coach Z]] is lying.

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! I'm Bubs. I run the concession stand around the way here. I'm a self-made man, I am, I am. I sell hot dogs, chili dogs, slaw dogs, ketchup dogs and mustard dogs. I got drinks, drinks, drinks, candy and snow cones. I can fix everything what needs fixing. Like cars... TVs... marriages. Ooh! I can dance, too. ''{starts doing the wave}'' Shake it once!

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Bubs Evolution - Bendy Arms.PNG|thumb|Bubs now has bendy arms!]]
* Bubs is based on a person [[The Brothers Chaps]] knew growing up who worked at a concession stand locally and spoke with the same gravelly voice.
**Matt has also admitted in interviews that Bubs's voice was heavily borrowed from the voice of [[imdb:nm0289359|Redd Foxx]] (of [[imdb:tt0068128|''Sanford and Son'']] fame).
*Bubs says he used to be able to "fly" until he said "sbu," which canceled his abilities, in the Strong Bad Email [[lunch special]]. However, Bubs says that since he gained so much weight, he could only hover a few inches off the ground, so it wasn't much of a loss. Strong Bad believes he's a big liar, and even Homestar reckons he's faking it even with the evidence before his eyes.
*According to [[keep cool]], Bubs isn't a very strong swimmer because he was wearing water wings when he was in the pool.
*Also, as seen in [[Ever and More!]] and [[lunch special]], Bubs talks about how he gained weight, implying that at some point in his life, he was skinnier.

*Email [[licensed]] — Strong Bad finds out that Bubs is an "unlicensed unlicensed" seller and, along with The Cheat, closes him down.

== Biography ==
'''Bubs''' (full name: '''Bubs Concession Stand''', as confirmed in [[Homestar Ruiner]]) is the all around fix-it man. He has a round blue head, [[mismatched eyes]] (his right eye is white with a blue iris while his left is simply a black dot), and a permanent toothy smile that moves when he talks. His upper body is orange, and according to Strong Bad, Bubs has flipper arms. He has a green stripe around his middle which, according to Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, is a belt, and his lower half is colored dark gray.

Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell [[Bubs' Concession Stand#Known Items Sold|almost anything]], and has developed a habit for selling ridiculous items at a humorously high price. Bubs is also on the run from at least one collection agency, though at the same time he represents at least one collection agency, as seen in [[other days]].

NFITC1: /* Biography */ CONSISANT GRAMMAR'D

{{charnav|Bubs|bubs|Coach Z|The King of Town}}
[[Image:newestbubs.png|thumb|right|220px|"100% All Original Bubs!"]]
[[Image:bubsid.PNG|thumb|He doesn't look half bad!]]
== Biography ==
'''Bubs's'' (full name: '''Bubs Concession Stand''', as confirmed in [[Homestar Ruiner]]) is the all around fix-it man. He has a round blue head, [[mismatched eyes]] (his right eye is white with a blue iris while his left is simply a black dot), and a permanent toothy smile that moves when he talks. His upper body is orange, and according to Strong Bad, Bubs has flipper arms. He has a green stripe around his middle which, according to Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, is a belt, and his lower half is colored dark gray.

Running [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his own concession stand]], Bubs is a sharp salesman who will sell [[Bubs' Concession Stand#Known Items Sold|almost anything]], and has developed a habit for selling ridiculous items at a humorously high price. Bubs is also on the run from at least one collection agency, though at the same time he represents at least one collection agency, as seen in [[other days]]. He also has been seen operating the [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], which he drove down to the beach in [[Weclome Back]]. However, he only sold "exactly zero baloney sandwiches" during his "best year ever." Bubs resells Internet access, although he rips off his sole subscriber, [[Strong Bad]], in 99 different ways (though none of them are "throttling down", as Strong Bad claims). It's likely that not all of his dealings are exactly legal, considering his reaction to a practical joke from Strong Bad in [[lackey]], and trying to dispose of items marked EXHIBIT A and EXHIBIT B (presumably a human pancreas which he tried to sell to [[Homestar Runner]]) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]]. In his spare time, Bubs reads back issues of Motor Trend magazine, and also hangs out and talks with [[Coach Z]]. Apparently, Coach Z got on Bubs's bad side near Thanksgiving in 2005, and to get even, Bubs made a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the [[Fall Float Parade]]. (Coach Z retaliated by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] stole his concession stand and marched with it in the parade.) In [[narrator]] (February 2006), it was shown that they had patched things up and were once again having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. Bubs also apparently has licenses to do a lot of different things, such as being a Bail Bondsman, Paranormal Investigator, Normal Investigator (not at all associated with "Bubs: Paranormal Investigator"), and "Dr." Bubs (TV/VCR repair). As shown in [[licensed]], Bubs apparently has an inverted and twisted understanding of what quality of product to sell where, due to the fact that he sells apparently "consumer-safe" products on the black market, and hazardous products at the concession stand. (The fact that Bubs sells "consumer-safe" products on the black market isn't entirely true, as the Cheat had an allergy to some ferret [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|ointment]] that Bubs was selling, and the piñatas contained broken glass which injured Homestar.)

Bubs [[Dancin' Bubs|dances]] and attends night courses at [[Disco Tech]]. His facial configuration is puzzling; in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear. In Strong Bad's [[record book]], he was solely declared "Cutest couple."

Bubs's alter-ego is the [[The Thnikkaman|Thnikkaman]]. During Decemberween, he also turns into the Dethemberween Thnikkaman. No one but Homestar seems to suspect any relationship with Bubs and the Thnikkaman.

In [[unnatural]], Bubs was mutated into [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]] after being flushed down the toilet. Strong Sad cured this with a bowl of kashi.
[[Image:Bubs 3D variation.PNG|thumb|left|115px|Legitimate 3D business.]]

In [[original]], Strong Bad claimed that there was another Bubs, known as [[Original Bubs]], who had great eyesight and could always see Homestar "from over there". Bubs got angry and claimed that he was the "100% All Original Bubs". He claimed, "If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!" Marzipan claims that there was no such character, but Homestar claims to miss him.

According to a discussion by [[The Deleteheads]] in [[fan club]], Bubs has apparently been married at least twice, since Strong Sad mentions his first wife. In [[Most in the Graveyard]], Bubs claims that many of his distant ancestors invented certain business practices, such as "Bait and Switch" and "No Money Down". It is also mentioned that he has a sister, whom [[Coach Z]] seems to have feelings for, and that Bubs's great-great granduncle was apparently the same person as Coach Z's great good-aunt. If true, this would make [[Bubs and Coach Z's relationship|Bubs and Coach Z]] sixth-fourth-second-fifth cousins, thrice removed, although Bubs claims that [[Coach Z]] is lying.

'''Page Title:''' Hey There, Doughnut Rush!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is seen cutting out dough rings in Marzipan's Kitchen. Marzipan enters}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's sweet! Are you making me homemade doughnuts for the 16th anniversary of our 17th breakup?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. No way. Um, no way. You know how I've always dreamed of being my own boss at the doughnut factory!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' No, since when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, just last night! ''{Clouds fill the screen, then recede to the edges. A scene depicting Homestar's dream is shown. He is seen wearing a shirt with the Mexican flag on it, standing next to a high-jumping pit. He has only one leg}'' I dreamt that I was a French long-jump champion with eight wooden legs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' And...that made you want to start a doughnut shop?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir! Like I said, it's a boyhood dream of mine. Could you pass me that recipe?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Picks up a small note from the table}'' There's just this square of TP that says... ''{cut to a close-up of the note}'' "dog-nut" on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah. That's it. My secret recipe.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Sighs}'' I'm gonna go talk to anyone else but you.

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is in a makeshift doughnut stand formed from a large [[cardboard box]] marked "Do-Nots" with a window cut out of it. A fat fryer can be seen bubbling in the back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I honestly wonder how many million doughnuts I'll sell on my first day. Three? Four? Eight? I've gotta be ready for the 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush, you know? Ooh, here it comes.

''{Bubs, with a red face and an exceptionally furious expression, enters from the right. As he speaks, cartoon smoke clouds emit from his head.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{with forced restraint}'' Well, hello, Hooomestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, doughnut rush. What can I get for you?

'''BUBS:''' ''{continuing his forced restraint}'' It's really great to very see you, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{nervous}'' Uhhm... it's good to see you, too, I guess.

''{As Bubs says the following, we cut to a shot revealing that Homestar's stand is right next to Bubs', facing it, and that Homestar's legs are outlined under the window in dotted lines}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm ''delighted'' you've decided to set up shop about ''ten feet away'' from me!

''{cut back to Homestar and Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, we could be a conglomerate, like KFC-Taco Bell-Raddisson-Texas Instruments-NASA!

'''BUBS:''' Yes. That is a really outstanding ideeeaaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, Bubs? Are we in a fight?

''{as Bubs speaks, his face slowly returns to its normal blue color}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly calmer}'' What do you think, man?! You opened up a competing doughnut place right across the street from me!

''{zooms out to the gap between the stores. Note that there is no street, but a field}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{examining the grass between the two stands}'' The street?

'''BUBS:''' Right across the way from me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought you sold questionable medical coverage.

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs, with his Concession Stand visible in the background with a sign "Why not Donuts?" on the original sign.}''

'''BUBS:''' That was two hours ago. ''{changes to his normal expression, now speaking normally}'' Now I'm in the doughnut bidness. How's that coverage working out for you, by the way?

''{Cut back to the two and the box.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a big stack of paperwork}'' Great so far!

'''BUBS:''' I gotta get ready for the big 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush. When next we meet, 'twill be on the doughnut field of battle! ''{Cut to a silhouette of the scene. Bubs marches to his stand imitating a military drum cadence}'' Dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dubbaa da dup dup dup!

''{Cut to a shot of a clock that strikes 3:09. Cut back to a shot of the two stands. The King Of Town appears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oof! All right gentlemen, here's how this is gonna go down. I need fried dough so bad it hurts! According to the data I got back from Taco Bell-NASA ''{places a hefty stack of paperwork on the ground}'', we're gonna need in the 3 to 8 million range to maintain my caloric intake. Now, commence marketing bombardment!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mine's is homemade! ''{holds up a spoon with some doughnut batter and a few hairs on it}''

'''BUBS:''' Mine's is shipped from a 3rd world country named Homemáde, so I can legally print "From Homemade" on the prepackaged package. ''{holds up a package of his doughnuts that says "FROM HOMEMÁDE!"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got grit, gumption, and an adorable speech ''{exaggerating his usual speech impediment}'' impootaboot.

'''BUBS:''' My name's Bubs, I talk hard and fast.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Available in 57 different varieties!

'''BUBS:''' One flavor ''{the word "regular" appears above his head}'', over a hundred different names for it! ''{various names that all are variations of "regular" appear around Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a newspaper}'' Marzipan raves "Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!"

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to a shot of a box of toothpaste labeled "Bubs' Donuts!"; as he says each descriptions, it appears onscreen}'' Fights cavities! Cleans Teeth! ''{A cartoon Bubs appears in the bottom right corner, bearing the following message in a speech bubble}'' The American Dental Association does not approve the preceding statements.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, all right, all right. You both make excellent cases, but I've come to my decision.

'''BUBS:''' Health Inspector! Cheese it, everyone!

''{Bubs closes his stand}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! ''{he disappears in another puff of smoke}''

''{Strong Bad, in silhouette, is seen coming up and walks towards Homestar with a clipboard in his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey potential customer, would you like several million doughnuts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. I don't want ''one''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But do you dough-''not'' want one? Hmmm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm the health inspector, here to hopefully shut you down. Now rub this swab under your grease trap and bring it back.

''{Homestar takes the swab and rubs it on the fat fryer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir, Inspector Heath! ''{Homestar starts humming the theme to Inspector Gadget}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To himself}'' ...And we'll do a little ''{rolls the l}'' bit of ''this''! ''{Strong Bad slaps a note marked "F" on the side of Homestar's stand, causing it to fall over. Smoke begins to rise from it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! My face!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs and walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My delicious fried face! Bubs, is this covered by my questionable medical coverage? At least questionably so? Bubs?

''{Cut to a long shot of both stands in silhouette. Bubs opens the back of his stand and is seen sneaking away.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{to the tune of "Mysterioso Pizzicato"}'' Root, root, root, root, doodloodloodloodloodloo, doot doot doot doo...

''{A circle of "ends" appears, the top of which is pink. A back button appears.}''

*At the end of the toon, if you remove Bubs' silhouette using a decompiler, you can see that he is wearing [[the Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman's]] "tH".

===Remarks===

Homestar Runner opens his own doughnut stand, sparking a fierce marketing war between himself and Bubs.

'''Places:''' [[Marzipan's House]], [[Do-Nots]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]

'''Date:''' Monday, April 6, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 3:56

'''Page Title:''' Hey There, Doughnut Rush!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is seen cutting out dough rings in Marzipan's Kitchen. Marzipan enters}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's sweet! Are you making me homemade doughnuts for the 16th anniversary of our 17th breakup?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. No way. Um, no way. You know how I've always dreamed of being my own boss at the doughnut factory!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' No, since when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, just last night! ''{Clouds fill the screen, then recede to the edges. A scene depicting Homestar's dream is shown. He is seen wearing a shirt with the Mexican flag on it, standing next to a high-jumping pit. He has only one leg}'' I dreamt that I was a French long-jump champion with eight wooden legs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' And...that made you want to start a doughnut shop?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir! Like I said, it's a boyhood dream of mine. Could you pass me that recipe?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Picks up a small note from the table}'' There's just this square of TP that says... ''{cut to a close-up of the note}'' "dog-nut" on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah. That's it. My secret recipe.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Sighs}'' I'm gonna go talk to anyone else but you.

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is in a makeshift donut stand formed from a large [[cardboard box]] marked "Do-Nots" with a window cut out of it. A fat fryer can be seen bubbling in the back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I honestly wonder how many million donuts I'll sell on my first day. Three? Four? Eight? I've gotta be ready for the 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush, you know? Ooh, here it comes.

''{Bubs, with a red face and an exceptionally furious expression, enters from the right. As he speaks, cartoon smoke clouds emit from his head.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{with forced restraint}'' Well, hello, Hooomestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, doughnut rush. What can I get for you?

'''BUBS:''' ''{continuing his forced restraint}'' It's really great to very see you, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{nervous}'' Uhhm... it's good to see you, too, I guess.

''{As Bubs says the following, we cut to a shot revealing that Homestar's stand is right next to Bubs', facing it, and that Homestar's legs are outlined under the window in dotted lines}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm ''delighted'' you've decided to set up shop about ''ten feet away'' from me!

''{cut back to Homestar and Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, we could be a conglomerate, like KFC-Taco Bell-Raddisson-Texas Instruments-NASA!

'''BUBS:''' Yes. That is a really outstanding ideeeaaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, Bubs? Are we in a fight?

''{as Bubs speaks, his face slowly returns to its normal blue color}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly calmer}'' What do you think, man?! You opened up a competing donut place right across the street from me!

''{zooms out to the gap between the stores. Note that there is no street, but a field}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{examining the grass between the two stands}'' The street?

'''BUBS:''' Right across the way from me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought you sold questionable medical coverage.

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs, with his Concession Stand visable in the background with a sign "Why not Donuts?" on the original sign.}''

'''BUBS:''' That was two hours ago. ''{changes to his normal expression, now speaking normally}'' Now I'm in the doughnut bidness. How's that coverage working out for you, by the way?

''{Cut back to the two and the box.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a big stack of paperwork}'' Great so far!

'''BUBS:''' I gotta get ready for the big 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush. When next we meet, 'twill be on the doughnut field of battle! ''{Cut to a silhouette of the scene. Bubs marches to his stand imitating a military drum cadence}'' Dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dubbaa da dup dup dup!

''{Cut to a shot of a clock that strikes 3:09. Cut back to a shot of the two stands. The King Of Town appears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oof! All right gentlemen, here's how this is gonna go down. I need fried dough so bad it hurts! According to the data I got back from Taco Bell-NASA ''{places a hefty stack of paperwork on the ground}'', we're gonna need in the 3 to 8 million range to maintain my caloric intake. Now, commence marketing bombardment!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mine's is homemade! ''{holds up a spoon with some donut batter and a few hairs on it}''

'''BUBS:''' Mine's is shipped from a 3rd world country named Homemáde, so I can legally print "From Homemade" on the prepackaged package. ''{holds up a package of his donuts that says "FROM HOMEMÁDE!"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got grit, gumption, and an adorable speech ''{exaggerating his usual speech impediment}'' impootaboot.

'''BUBS:''' My name's Bubs, I talk hard and fast.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Available in 57 different varieties!

'''BUBS:''' One flavor ''{the word "regular" appears above his head}'', over a hundred different names for it! ''{various names that all are variations of "regular" appear around Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a newspaper}'' Marzipan raves "Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!"

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to a shot of a box of toothpaste labeled "Bubs' Donuts!"; as he says each descriptions, it appears onscreen}'' Fights cavities! Cleans Teeth! ''{A cartoon Bubs appears in the bottom right corner, bearing the following message in a speech bubble}'' The American Dental Association does not approve the preceding statements.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, all right, all right. You both make excellent cases, but I've come to my decision.

'''BUBS:''' Health Inspector! Cheese it, everyone!

''{Bubs closes his stand}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! ''{he disappears in another puff of smoke}''

''{Strong Bad, in silhouette, is seen coming up and walks towards Homestar with a clipboard in his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey potential customer, would you like several million doughnut?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. I don't want ''one''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But do you dough-''not'' want one? Hmmm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm the health inspector, here to hopefully shut you down. Now rub this swab under your grease trap and bring it back.

''{Homestar takes the swab and rubs it on the fat fryer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir, Inspector Heath! ''{Homestar starts humming the theme to Inspector Gadget}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To himself}'' ...And we'll do a little ''{rolls the l}'' bit of ''this''! ''{Strong Bad slaps a note marked "F" on the side of Homestar's stand, causing it to fall over. Smoke begins to rise from it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! My face!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs and walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My delicious fried face! Bubs, is this covered by my questionable medical coverage? At least questionably so? Bubs?

''{Cut to a long shot of both stands in silhouette. Bubs opens the back of his stand and is seen sneaking away.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{to the tune of "Mysterioso Pizzicato"}'' Root, root, root, root, doodloodloodloodloodloo, doot doot doot doo...

''{A circle of "ends" appears, the top of which is pink. A back button appears.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===

== PNG Apple Screencaps ==

I just got a new MacBook, and I must know: how do I convert screencaps from JPEG to PNG without MS Paint? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 23:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
:First you right-click.-[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.37|132.183.138.37]] 00:18, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::What program can I use to convert the picture? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 00:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:::A screenshot (if that's what you mean) is usually taken in a PNG format (somehow I got my old PowerBook G4 to take TIFF screenshots, unfortunately I don't know how I did it), so I don't exactly get the "JPEG to PNG" part of it. But, here are your instructions:
:::1. Open up Preview (Found in /Applications/, or just access "Applications" in the Finder's sidebar.
:::2. File > Open and then choose your image. It may be a time saver to have the folder open with the image in it, so you can just drag it into the file selector. It may also be a good idea just to Preview into the Dock, so that you can just drag the file on the program's icon for it to open.
:::3. Go to File > Save As... and choose the file format you wish to save it in.
:::4. Ta Da!
:::It should be the Save As menu item that did it, but I don't remember. I haven't used my Mac in a long time due to a couple technical issues I'm not willing to fix yet. :P --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 00:48, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::::What can I use to fill in the corners? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::You have a lot of different options. Probably the best cheap option would be [http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ Seashore], a simpler implementation of GIMP (a free version of Photoshop). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 02:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::I have a Mac, and what I do is just on the desktop file, change the name of the file so instead of "picture.png" it's "picture.jpeg." It's that easy! (Although for obvious reasons it won't work when changing more complex files). {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 02:48, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::That doesn't change the file format... it just changes the extension... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:52, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh. Yeah, I know next to nothing about all this stuff, so I should probably just shut up. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 03:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Protect the 8-Bit is Enough Logo ==

The header speaks for itself. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 16:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Done. Next time, you should contact a sysop via IRC for transitory requests like this. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Need for a "see" template? ==

Should we create a template for "''See [[Special:Random|whatever]]''"? It seems that I have done a lot of this recently. Would there be a need for it? --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 23:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:We already have such a template: [[:Template:for]]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 00:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::No, I mean just "See whatever" not "For the whatever, see thisever". --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 01:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Oh, it sounds like the thing we can just type ourselves. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 04:23, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::BBG, i think you're missing the point. He's talking about what appears [[Hooked on Decemberween#Transcript|here]] for example. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:40, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::I'm still not convinced a template is necessary. With all the curved brackets, a template might be slightly more work typing than necessary. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::<code><nowiki>:''See [[X]]''</nowiki></code> vs. <code><nowiki>{{see|X}}</nowiki></code>. Not a huge improvement, but potentially useful if it's used enough. How many instances that use this exact formatting are we talking about here? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I think that it kinda defeats the purpose if the template just replaces braces with italics... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I went ahead and made a template anyway. ''See {{t|see}}'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::I saw, and i don't think it really adds anything except server load. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::That only comes into play when a page is being cached. The hundreds of signature templates we allow are far worse on the server, and so server load shouldn't be a consideration on whether we use this template. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Did you at least get his main point that this is a pretty superfluous template? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::Yes. That's why in a previous post I said, "Not a huge improvement, but potentially useful if it's used enough. How many instances that use this exact formatting are we talking about here?" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:54, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== Wrong FA for Week 53, 2008/Week 1, 2009 ==

Due to the remainder week, it looks like FA rolled back to week 1, 2008 [[Nebulon]], rather than the [[winter pool]] article. I've created a Week 53 alias, but could a sysop fix the error? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 02:33, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah... [[Wikipedia:ISO 8601#Week dates|Technically]], we're already in 2009 Week 1, even though we're still in 2008... so {{CURRENTWEEK}} is 1, but {{CURRENTYEAR}} is still 2008, since it is still 2008. I'll see what I can do to make it more accurate. {{User:Phlip/sig}}
::There we go... looks like it's working now. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:08, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

:any ideas? {{User:The thing/sig}} 20:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:AC_RunActiveContent.js is a Javascript script that does... things... similar to what SwfObject and UFO do (embedding SWFs). The Brothers Chaps were probably going to use it, but they just use the <embed> tag. {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 00:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

== SVGs ==

Why were SVGs disabled? I mean, is there anything wrong with SVGs? Because I was trying to upload [http://htwins.net/SM_m.svg this] SVG that I wrote (my first SVG!) to replace Strong_Mad's_M.PNG. {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 01:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
:It's not so much that we've ''disabled'' SVGs, more that we haven't bothered to ''enable'' them. Mostly because the large majority of the images we upload are screenshots of H*R cartoons... so, while an SVG would be good (the Flash toons are vector art too, after all), it takes considerably more effort, and is much more likely to be inaccurate, than just taking a screenshot and uploading it as a PNG. Making it an SVG would involve either tracing a screenshot in an SVG tool (lot of effort, likely to not quite match the original) or exporting an SVG from Flash (also a lot of effort, would require a decompiler and a working version of Flash, and I'm not even sure if Flash ''does'' have an export to SVG option). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
::Still, if people want to do it, it's their trouble to go to, as from the administrative side, it's as simple as modifying one line in PHP to allow them. In my opinion, it's worth giving people the option, as i can only see it helping the wiki. (I'd really like to see svg exports of the [[Quote of the Week Character Heads]] as the gallery stretches them and makes them appear distorted currently.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know why we need to use svgs. It may work for Wikipedia, but I wouldn't really relate us to them. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 02:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
::::This has nothing to do with wikipedia. I already stated that i can't imagine any harm coming from it, AND gave an example of somewhere it would do some GOOD... I think that's all we need. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:31, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Sure, I have no problem with them being enabled... I just don't want to see them getting popular to the point that Average Joe Wiki User can't upload a screenshot of the new toon without SVGitising it first. As long as PNG is still the standard, it doesn't worry me. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
::::::Oh, and I think I might remember why SVG is disabled... before [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 27#What HAppened Today?|the server move]] we did a while ago, we were using a rather old version of ImageMagick... I remember some tweaks had to be made to MediaWiki to get it to work properly. I have a feeling that, because of its age, it couldn't handle SVGs, or reacted badly to them in some way... I'm not sure of the details though, it's been a while. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 02:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I'll look into what it would take to enable SVGs the next time we upgrade (it's probably as simple as just enabling a variable).

For the love of Bubs, pull yourself together. You're giving me ''deja vu'', for this is not the first time the website has been quiet. Hands up who remembers the 35 day wait between [[portrait]] and [[highschool]]? Everyone claimed that the end of Homestar Runner was nigh and then what happened next? They started updating again, everyone was happy and felt a bit silly. Yet it seems the lesson has not been learnt, and that lesson is that "It ain't over until the Chap Brother sings." Homestar Runner is more than likely to return eventually. In fact, it's actually only been 31 days since [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]] so the wait has been shorter so far. TBC are taking a break, and if you're getting so worked up about it, then maybe so should you. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:57, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:Not to mention that there's one thing that doesn't make sense at all. In The Brothers Chaps' [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|Georgia Tech appearance]], they state that do Homestar Runner for a living, as a hobby and as a job. Now, I realize that much has happened since then, with SBCG4AP and all and chances are The Brothers Chaps got a good deal of that share, but that contradicts what Mike said to one question "... [they're not trying] to let any financial things influence what [they] do. ...". Not to mention they have two kids to take care of. Sure, Homestar tried to kill himself, but that's just coincidence since lately a bit more violence has been depicted in the toons, at least in my opinion.

== Kirby Obsession? ==
While I realize that Kirby is a great series, I believe these two Real-World References are stretching it a bit too far:
# Pan Pan sucking up Stinkoman and 1-Up is likely a reference to the Kirby series of video games, where Kirby was able to suck his enemies into his mouth and copy their powers.
# Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards may also be an reference to the Nintendo 64 game: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
I believe they should be deleted, because they both seem very TTATOT. Crystal Shards appear in lots of different games and cartoons, like Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance. And the "Pan Pan sucking them up" thing is likely just a reference to how much he loves to eat. If they had played a sound effect like you hear in the Kirby games, I could agree with this one. Comments before I delete these? --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 14:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Pan Pan has never shown this ability before, and he even seems to do a similar pose to Kirby. I don't know about the second one, but I think the first one is a reference. [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 15:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

:I say we delete both of them! I'd say it's more of an inside reference of characters eating each other, like when Sickly Sam ate Strong Bad. The similar pose doesn't convince me, either. It's just too much of a stretch to constitute a reference. Howsabout a compromise? We could say: "Pan Pan's pose while inhaling Stinkoman and 1-up is similar to Kirby's" Or something like that. --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Agreed on the Kirby ref. His mouth also becomes the size of the front of his body, which is distinctly Kirby-like. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 02:48, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's a coincidence that the attack method for a character named Kirby consists of sucking its enemies into its mouth. I suspect that the ultimate reference is to the vacuum cleaner company of the same name. See http://www.kirby.com/ [[User:Nsayer|Nsayer]] 21:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

:That's one of the theories about the name. But that's not the reference - this isn't the Kirby Wiki. 20X6 lampoons anime and video games in general, and Video Games + Sucking Stuff Up = Kirby. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 22:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Does he appear twice, or did he just remove one of his legs and stick it in the ground (as his way of "giving thanks" somehow..)? If both of his legs appeared attached to him while a separate one was in the ground, then I wouldn't dispute this... but he conveniently pops in partially off-screen. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

:This is something that merits serious debate. {{unsigned|24.193.171.246|22:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)}}

:He appears twice. His foot moves when he mumbles, just like Strong Bad's head when his mouth is not visible. -[[User:Opus the Penguin|Opus the Penguin]]

== This is just silly ==

"The title "Stinkoman and the challenge of the Crystal Shards" could also be a play off the recent movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in which Harrison Ford played a history professor trying to obtain the crystal skulls before the Nazis could."

Aside from that being a completely silly contribution, Indiana Jones fought Cold War Russians in that movie, not Nazis.

:I agree. This is not even a reference if the Soviets part is fixed. There is nothing else to suggest a link between Stinkoman and Indiana Jones besides their names being similar...BALEETED! --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:: Yeah, there are a lot of really really general "references" being added today. 'Sup with that? Del taco it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it's a reference to Kirby 64: the Crystal Shards? That's the first thing I thought of... then again, I've got Kirby on the brain right now. - [[User:C.Olimar788|C.Olimar788]] 22:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== blushing ==

is this the first time 1-up has blushed this much?(if at all) i also thought he looked a little different from previous apperances throughout the entire toon. did anyone else think so?--[[User:Shaggy|Shaggy]] | [[User talk:Shaggy|talk]] 22:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the first time. I think that's what caused him to look a bit... off throughout the short. I think the rest of his animation is the same. - [[User:C.Olimar788|C.Olimar788]] 01:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

::Blushing ridiculously is a common trope in anime. But since the entire Stinkoman series is meant to be a parody of anime and video games, I think this doesn't really merit a Real-World Reference or otherwise {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 02:51, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe I'm just crude, but I thought his first blush was after Stinkoman farted, and his second blush was after he farted...

Is it just me, or does the voice that tells you to tune in next time seem to be the [[Shadowy Figure]]'s? {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 23:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:It seems entirely plausible, but we have never actually heard him speak. We have only ever heard him laugh.
::Yes, but the voice sounds like it could make the laugh. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 01:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== I don't understand... ==
What are those three holes in Pan Pan's stomach? Is that a reference to something real, or just regular 20X6 ridiculousness? [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 00:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:I took it as he's hollow and air filled like Pom Pom and the three holes lead to his arms and head, or something. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 08:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::If that were the case, 1-up and Stinkoman would have fallen in through the middle hole, and the holes would be directly above them. Pan Pan clearly ate them with his head. [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 21:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:::If this is the case, should the location be changed from Pan Pan's STOMACH to Pan Pan's INSIDES since it appears he does not have a stomach? -[[User:Opus the Penguin|Opus the Penguin]]

::::::No, i'm serious. 1-up calls it that. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::::It's quite clearly not an epiglottis, though they would have passed it on the way through. See the link I put in the Explanations section, but to summarise, an epiglottis is a flap of cartilage, not an organ they can stand inside. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 23:15, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Yeah, i just realized that... >_> i thought it was a [[made-up body part]]... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:17, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== insignia ==

I think the insignia on Stinko's tractor are meant to resemble those seen on NASCAR and other race cars.
:Maybe not NASCAR, but the one in the middle definitely resembles the National Aircraft Insignia; I added it. As for the other shapes, it's unclear whether they are stickers or maybe lights. I don't know where the "CITIZEN" sticker comes from. — [[User:DyM|DyM]] 04:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::As someone already posted on the page, the insignia are meant to resemble [http://www.clockworkmachina.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/kaneda_bike_11.jpg Kaneda's motorbike from ''Akira'']. Note the CITIZEN sticker on both. (Ok, so the image I linked to is a Lego model. It's meant to be an accurate model, though.) --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 04:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Foods ==

[[Image:THANXty Favorite Food.png|thumb|upright|Unreadable, but apparently delicious.]]
Looks like we've got a few new foods to list... somewhere. I guess [[Minor Foods]] would be the place? I've uploaded a screencap of the first item 1-Up holds up, which he only describes as "favorite food". I should probably have gotten the other two items ("Spiced Bun" and "Frozen Bake") while I was at it, but I don't have Greasemonkey installed, nor a flash decompiler, so I just grabbed this one while watching the toon a second time.

I'm really wondering what the label on the box says. It's definitely kanji, but they're so fuzzy that I can't figure out exactly what it says. I tried looking them up in JWPce, but couldn't find much like them. They just look familiar enough to make me think they're actual kanji, and not just random scribbles. And TBC have used kanji before. Maybe I could find them in one of my reference books, but that would require me to find my books first. Any ideas from other Japanese students here? -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 04:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:I asked a Japanese friend what she thought. She said: "blimey, shooty writing. i cant read the last one O.o second one depending on the last means something else, but this way it says dai. the first one, one of the lines is weird o.O the first one... if that middle line was to the oter side would be kokoro, could also be ji.... i dunno o.o" I asked "Kokoro as in heart?" and she replied "yea, but the other two on the right would have to be a bit dif... or else ji... but it would have to be a bit more turned right..."

:I showed her the toon as well, and her comment was "thats the most weird video ive ever seen." Final word: "i dunno what it says, really dont" --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 05:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::I've put out a couple notes to friends myself. We'll see what they think (if anything). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Middle one is (most likely coincidentally) "dai", but I'm guessing it's just Japanese-looking squiggle. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 06:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm pretty sure they're just japanese-esque squiggles. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 08:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::I speak Japanese quite well, and I think that these could mean anything. I'm pretty sure they're just randomly painted lines to give the general 'idea' of kanji. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 18:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::Well, my friend got back to me, and she says this:
::::::<blockquote>The middle one says "big" (read "dai") ... but the others don't say anything, as far as I can tell =P They're just squiggles... The one on the left looks like hiragana "ni" or kinda like "kokoro"... The one on the right looks like "watashi," but the right radical would need a few more lines... so yeah, it's gibberish xD</blockquote>
::::::I guess this matter is settled. It's just lines with a Japanese-esque appearance. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
We have a page for [[Spanish]], [[German]], and [[French]] .. do we have a page for this type of thing? Seems recurring enough for me... {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:21, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Brain? ==

I say we delete the reference "Pan-Pan's stomach looks like a brain". It looks like a ball of muscle and acid!

:I would say it looks like a generic organ-like thing. Pink and squishy. But the most famous pink and squishy organ with a strange pattern of nudules along the outside, at least in cartoons and games, is the brain. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 22:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== 100 % ==

Should it be noted that this is the first 100% 20X6 cartoon? Shure, there have been Stinkoman cartoons before, but they all had something... not Stinkoman.
: That depends on whether or not you count the "[[Under Construction]]" page, and whether or not you count [[Stinkoman 20X6|games]] and [[Main Page 17|main pages]], really... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:57, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Stinkoman Burying Himself ==
Do you guys think its a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders?
:Maybe. Could you please elaborate why it might be a reference? Did a character bury his leg or appear in two places at the same time? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 21:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::There's several issue where people get buried. One is where Jotaro and the gang see ascetics underground using straws for air in India, another when they find the Stand User Cameo Under the earth in hiding when his stand Judgement attacked them.
:::That's only a reference if a similar-looking scene appears - e.g. that a character appears buried in the ground with just one leg sticking up. If just being underground was a reference, you could say it refers to ''Journey to the Center of the Earth''. It doesn't, incidentally. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Not necessarily since Stinkoman is mainly anime references, but I get most of the point.

== Kirby? ==

Could "Stinkoman and the Crystal Shards" be a reference to the N64 game, Kirby and the crystal shards?

GameSpot article: http://www.gamespot.com/n64/action/kirby64thecrystalshards/index.html?tag=result;title;0
:We already have discussions on both [[#Kirby Obsession?|Kirby]] and [[#Chaos Emeralds|the crystals]], thank you very much. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 22:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Lowercase i's? ==

Do you think that "i can not name all of them" could be an instance of [[Lowercase i's]]?--[[User:Dungeonman262|Dungeonman262]] 22:10, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:Not really, since the whole line is lower-case, including "sarah". --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

== Flash 8 ==

As I've said before... The toon looks weird on Wii because of Flash 8. Notice some of the special effects, they couldn't have done that stuff in 5. [[User:???|-???]] 00:46, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Cry-uh-styl Shards ==

I think it's a reference to the game Sonic Adventure 2 Battle where in some levels you must collect green crystal shards before another person does. Anyone agree? --[[Special:Contributions/76.173.92.70|76.173.92.70]] 01:33, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
::See above about Chaos Emeralds. --{{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 02:05, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
::: I thought it was a reference to that N64 Kirby game. Then again, I've never played it, so I'm not certain. Either way, this has also been mentioned previously in this Talk Page. -- [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 23:47, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Symbol on the tractor ==

The following statements both appear in the Real-World References section:
*The color scheme and decals on Stinkoman's tractor resemble those on [[Wikipedia:Akira (manga)#Characters|Kaneda's]] motorcycle in [[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|''Akira'']].
*The insignia on Stinkoman's tractor resembles the National Aircraft Insignia of the [[wikipedia:United States|United States]] that was used on military aircraft from 1947 onward.
So which is it? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:15, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
:Both, in a way, but the second one is basically incidental to the first. Essentially, the star ''does'' resemble the US insignia, but it's only there because it was on Kaneda's motorbike first. See the discussion [[Talk:Twenty_THANXty_Six#insignia|further up the page]]. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 21:16, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Running Time:''' 2:10

'''Page Title:''' Puppets on Patrol!

==Transcript==
''{Close-up of a mug reading "THE WORLD'S BEST CROOKED COP", written in marker pen on tape. Longer shot of Puppet Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) sitting in a darkened office, slurping noisily out of the mug while it's still sitting on the table. Strong Bad pushes the mug aside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh, I just drank that.

''{Shot of Puppet Homestar Runner (as Dangeresque Too) carrying an envelope. The envelope reads "FOR YOUR COOL [[Cool Shades|COOL GLASSES]] ONLY Your pal, Dangeresque Too". The envelope is dropped on the table in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Guess who just busted out of jail.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pulls a sheet of paper out of the envelope with a WANTED poster showing The Cheat, with the name "Szechuan Steve" written underneath.}'' Szechuan Steve? The criminal mastermind behind stealing my curly fries one time? Let's go!

''{Strong Bad grabs his nunchuk gun. Shot of the two running along the top of a building. As their figurine stunt doubles jump over the edge, the shot freezes, and the titles come up on the screen, with a voice-over reading them out.}''

'''VOICE OVER:''' Dangeresque: Puppet Squad — The Curly Fried Caper

''{Panning shot of an abandoned warehouse. Strong Bad and Homestar arrive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Broken windows. This must be the place!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These mean streets are tough. I'll handle the dumpsters, YOU take the piles of cardboard boxes.

'''BOTH:''' Break!

''{They run off in opposite directions. Alternate shots of Strong Bad savaging some cardboard boxes, and Homestar (and his stunt double) running and jumping over some dumpsters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Hut! Waaaa! Oof!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blargh! Wroa! Yaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hut! Whoa! Oof!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Hitting the boxes with his nunchuck gun}'' Stupid cardboard boxes! I hate you! Stupid cardboard boxes!

''{Strong Bad and Homestar come back together again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gasp!

''{Shot of Puppet The Cheat (as Szechuan Steve), apparently wearing a Chinese food box as a hat, standing on the roof holding a cardboard tray of curly fries.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hand over the curly fries, Szechuan Steve!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{More The Cheat noises. Drops the fries over the edge of the building.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{In low-pitched, pretend-slow-motion voice}'' Nooooooo!

''{Slow-motion shot of the curly fries and tray falling to the ground. Or rather, a shot of the curly fries being lowered slowly on strings. Strong Bad catches the tray, then catches all of the curly fries in the tray.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I got you guys!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nice catch, D-man! I'll handle Szechuan Steve!

''{Homestar jumps to the top of the building and kicks The Cheat to the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Dangeresque Too. Looks like we finally caught the guy responsible for one time stealing my curly fries!

''{Long shot of Strong Bad, Homestar and The Cheat's action-figure stunt doubles. Pan right, to see Shark-Tooth Bubs watching the scene.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Or did you?

''{Dramatic riff. An "Again" link appears, along with "Dangeresque is coming soon to WiiWare and PC! click to find out more", which links to the Telltale Games website}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Character figures are used in stunts and long-range shots for both puppets, as otherwise the shots would reveal their human controllers. In particular, the Homestar puppet does not have any legs, thus requiring the use of a stand-in.
**Strong Bad's stunt double, The Cheat in the final scene, and Homestar's standing-still stunt double are Set One [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|character figurines]], while Homestar's running stunt double is a Set Two character figurine. The figurines appear to been removed from the base to which they originally came attached.
*Szechuan Steve is named for [[wikipedia:Szechuan cuisine|Szechuan cuisine]], which may explain why he's wearing a Chinese take-out container on his head. Szechuan cuisine in turn takes its name from [[wikipedia:Sichuan|Sichuan]] (formerly romanized as "Szechuan"), a province in China.

=== Goofs ===
*When homestar jumps over the dumpsters, he does not have his [[Dangeresque Too]] glasses on.
**In the second jump he starts out turning clockwise while airborne, but is turning counter-clockwise during the close-up.
*At the revealing of shark-tooth bubs, you can see a knuckle as the doll jumps.

=== Fixed Goofs ===
*The pop-up used to make the [[Main Pages]] and the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] they were loaded on go at 24fps to match the Flash file used for this Puppet Stuff on the Main Pages. This especially would make audio-out-of sync. This was fixed by placing a different background behind the toon while it was playing.
**Ironically, this made the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] go at its usual frame rate of 24fps, as the TV Time Toons Menu slows it down to 12fps.
**Both of these were fixed by making the Flash its own page. However, this seems to be a hasty fix, as other Puppet Stuff that loads onto the Main Pages and the TV Time Toons Menu have never caused this. The previous Puppet Stuff, [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]], had and has no such problem.
*On the Toons menu, it used to say this toon was made in 2007.

===Inside References===
*The theme music used for this toon was originally from the email [[rough copy]].
*This is another instance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*The parking lot where most of the action takes place appears to be the same one used in [[Baddest Of The Bands Promo Spot]].
*The drawing of Szechuan Steve's Chinese take-out container has [[Trogdor]] on it.
*The noise of the traffic and honking right after the intro comes from [[Senorial Day]].

''{Strong Bad reads the name and address as "A person called Cooper, from the city of Franklin, in the state of Tennessee."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Told you I could do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I feel ya, Coopreme. It's a good thing they make you turn off your bazookas before movies man, or every one of my theater-going experiences would end in smoldering crater fashion.

''{Cut to a cinema entrance lobby. Posters for Dangeresque 3 and King Bubsgonzola Supreme hang in the background. Senor Cardgage is an usher; Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom walk in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The experience starts out promising enough...

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Good eef-ening, Bontilda. ''{takes Strong Bad's ticket and tears it}'' Forty-twone will be on your lest.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just you watch, The Cheat. Some day ''I'm'' gonna be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest.

''{Cut inside the cinema. Coach Z is watching the movie screen, fidgeting and thinking hard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It begins with the genius who can't resist answering the oh-so-challenging film trivia slides they show before the movie.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I know this one! The Brat Pack! Pan-and-scan! Spencer Tracy!

''{Cut to Strong Bad. The Cheat is visible on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Real impressive, Ebert. We've only seen this slide ten times since we all sat down.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Be considerate of others. Please turn off your bazookas before the progrum.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then, once the movie starts, don't forget the guy who insists on rattling off the complete filmographies of each of the actors.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up and turns back to face Strong Sad}'' And this is my FIST! ''{raises said fist}'' You might remember it from ''Bloodied Pulp'', the amazingly true story of your face in five seconds! ''{sits back down}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pointing at Strong Bad}'' He was in ''Dangeresque 1'' and ''2''!

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is sitting next to Strong Bad and eating popcorn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And if you think the guy sitting next to you munching popcorn is bad, ''{Strong Bad's head turns slowly in The Cheat's direction}'' try going to a theater where people regularly sneak in their own all-you-can-eat fajitas!

''{Cut to the King of Town, who is holding a frying pan covered in sizzling food, with a stack of similar pans in the seat beside him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Looks at the camera}'' What?! This was all in my box of Milk Duds.

''{Pan back, behind the King of Town, there are the Knight (with a guitar), the Hornblower (with a horn) and the Blacksmith (with maracas). The three of them play a brief Mariachi melody. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that brings me to the little girl behind me who wouldn't shut up.

''{Pan behind Strong Bad, Homestar Runner is standing there, wearing a viking helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more! Ever and more! Ever and more!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is the kind of person that likes to talk to the movie. But not in the usual ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words}'' "Don't go in there!" or ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words again}'' "Oh no he di'n't!" type of way. He just... makes small talk with the characters, and chit-chat.

''{Cut through white to some time in the movie. Homestar is sitting on his seat, with the viking helmet on the seat next to him.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I figured out their plan.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I figured I'd just cut up some iceberg lettuce, throw some tomatoes on there, maybe a little catalina. Nothing fancy, nothing fancy.

''{Cut through white to later in the movie. Homestar is lying on his seat, with his head resting on the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, have you ever been to a ground-breaking? I mean, what is the point of those things?

''{Cut through white again, Homestar is lying upside down on his seat, with his legs in the air.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know where the real money is? ''{shakes his legs}'' Phone books.

''{Cut through white yet again, Homestar is sitting up normally.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder how you spell tabasco. ''{stands up}'' TABASCOooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Gets up from his seat again and turns around.}'' What is wrong with you people?! Do you not notice the giant movie over here? Were all the local sit-around-and-suck-out-loud places closed?!

''{Strong Bad picks up a bazooka, holds it beside his head like a cell phone, and imitates a ringtone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, di-a-lo-do, da-a-lo-do, di-a-lo-do, ''die''!!

''{Strong Bad lowers the bazooka to point at the camera and fires it. Fade back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, that's why I'm not allowed at the movies anymore. But I don't care. I brought my movie viewing into the digital age. And I dig-it-all!!! Check it out!

''{Strong Bad runs "karatecar.exe". An ASCII art movie starts. A stick figure man walks along a street, with buildings in the background, and a car drives across. The stick figure jumps and does a somersault over the car just before he gets hit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Oh, look out, Mister Slashy-Man!

''{The movie cuts to a closeup of the car.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Ooh, something exciting!

''{The movie cuts to a closeup of the stick figure man, who says "Now THAT was a ''sports'' car!". He then does some karate moves and says "Hi-YA!".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Aah, I guess I'm talking during the movie! Kind of a hypocrite! Gonna shut up now!

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Crater Theater.png|thumb|No one wants to watch a smoldering crater. With the apparent exception of Homestar.]]
*Click on the "Hi-YA" at the end to see Homestar in a smoldering crater sitting in a theater seat with a frame of a movie poster protruding from the side of the crater:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh man. This movie has it all. Cinema has never Luked so Wilson.
*Click on the "@" at the end to see a film trivia screen.
<blockquote>
<big>MOVIE & REFRESHMENT TRIVIA*</big>
What can you get at the concession 
stand for $10, $10 or $13?
A. Luke Wilson 
B. 16:9 Anamorphic 
C. Hot, Hot Buttery Popcorn 
D. '''Battleship Potemkin'''
*ACTUALLY JUST REFRESHMENT TRIVIA
</blockquote>

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Pan and Scan|Pan and Scan]] refers to a technique by which film originally shot in widescreen format is transferred into a format compatible with the shape of common TV screens. In contrast, DVDs made using an [[Wikipedia:Anamorphic widescreen|anamorphic widescreen]] technique automatically fill [[Wikipedia:High-definition television|high-definition television]] screens that have a 16:9 aspect ratio and make full use of the available resolution.
*[[Wikipedia:French dressing|Catalina]] is a type of salad dressing made from tomato ketchup and sugar.
*[[ASCII art]] is an artistic medium that makes pictures entirely out of typed characters.
*A [[Wikipedia:Groundbreaking|groundbreaking]] is a photo-op ceremony in which executives or other noteworthy people dig the first shovel of dirt from a lot in which a new construction will be built.
*The slashes on the bazooka in the "Be Considerate" ad are a common mark on guns, tanks, and war ships to show how many kills they've made.
*A [[Wikipedia:Stevedore|stevedore]] is a person who works at or is responsible for loading and unloading ships in port.
*[[The Knight]], [[The Hornblower]], and [[The Blacksmith]] are playing instruments as if they were in a [[Wikipedia:Mariachi|mariachi band]].
*"[[Wikipedia:Bacon number|Bacon number]]" refers to the number of degrees of separation an actor has from actor [[Wikipedia:Kevin Bacon|Kevin Bacon]]. This, in turn, stems from the [[Wikipedia:Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon|Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon]] game that was popular in the early 1990s.
*[[Wikipedia:Milk Duds|Milk Duds]] are a popular candy often sold at movie theaters.
*Tabasco is both [[Wikipedia:Tabasco|a state in Mexico]] as well as the trademark name for a brand of [[Wikipedia:Tabasco sauce|hot pepper sauce]].

===Trivia===
*The release date on the Dangeresque 3 poster is:<blockquote>COMING <del>JUNE 2004</del> <del>APRIL 2005</del> <del>MEMORIALS DAY 2005</del> <del>AUGUST 2006</del> WE'LL SEE...</blockquote>
*[[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]'s [[Cool Shades]] in the poster have three lenses, relating to it being the third film. The number "3" is also visible, reflected in the center lens.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad rants about why he hates fellow moviegoers."

===Remarks===
*Despite the lack of a specific release date and that it just says "We'll see", the frame around the poster for Dangeresque 3 still labels the film as "Now Playing".
*When watching the [[ASCII art]] movie, Strong Bad says "Kind of a hypocrite!" because he was talking during it. However, he was ''yelling'' during the actual movie, and that is not mentioned.
*Note that the ASCII art is actually not real ASCII art as some of the characters are of different font sizes.
**This includes italicized fonts, including backward-italicized 1's and I's.


===Inside References===
*This is the third email in a row that mentions [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]].
*This email features another pronunciation of the word "program" as [[progrum]].
*Two of the movie posters are for ''[[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]]'' (based on [[unnatural]]) and ''[[dangeresque 3|Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'' (with no predetermined release date).
**The King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster was an Easter Egg in [[unnatural]].
*Strong Bad originally said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would come out in June 2004, hence the first crossed out date. The other three dates are of major releases: [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Senorial Day]], and [[Strongest Man in the World]], respectively.
*"Film school" was first mentioned in [[Puppets on the Road]].
*"Hi-YA!" is an example of [[Lowercase i's]].
*Strong Bad's "Told you I could do it," refers to his habit of mangling the [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|emailer's name]] and/or [[Strong Bad Email By Place|address]], which he doesn't do this time.
*The voice heard during the trivia screens and during the first movie clip is the same voice heard narrating the [[The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil|SBASAF]] filmstrip.

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Brat Pack (movies)|Brat Pack]] refers to a group of actors that rose to fame in the 1980s by starring in several teen-oriented movies.
*[[Wikipedia:Spencer Tracy|Spencer Tracy]] was a two-time [[Wikipedia:Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-winning film actor.
*Strong Bad's "Ebert" comment refers to [[Wikipedia:Roger Ebert|Roger Ebert]], a Chicago-based movie critic.
*The song Strong Bad "sings" before firing the bazooka is the "[[Wikipedia:Nokia tune|Nokia tune]]," based on a guitar work called "[http://www.nokia.com/BaseProject/Sites/NOKIA_MAIN_18022/CDA/Categories/AboutNokia/Company/InFocus/RingingtheChanges/_Content/_Static_Files/granvals_26s1-180kb.wav Gran Vals]".
*[[IMDB:nm0005561|Luke Wilson]] is an American film actor.
*''[[Wikipedia:The Battleship Potemkin|The Battleship Potemkin]]'' was an influential silent film about the [[Wikipedia:Russian battleship Potemkin|Battleship ''Potemkin'' uprising]].
*The "Ice Cold Refreshment" trivia and red background refer to [[Wikipedia: Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] themed games shown before a film to entertain the moviegoers.

===Fast Forward===

*The DNA scene would be revisited in the big toon [[DNA Evidence]]. In another scene of the toon, Strong Sad comments that the evidence [[Marzipan]] found looks "just like in the movies."
*Homestar Runner's "Ever and More" song would later be revealed to be the official chant of the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in the short [[Ever and More!]], in which he once again wears the [[horned helmet]].

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Coach Z is not that cool; here comes an email.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: movie</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
 I was at the movies last night and this little girl behind me 
wouldn't shut up! has that ever happened to you? 
Cooper 
Franklin TN.
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the name and address as "A person called Cooper, from the city of Franklin, in the state of Tennessee."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Told you I could do it.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I feel ya, Coopreme. It's a good thing they make you turn off your bazookas before movies man, or every one of my theater-going experiences would end in smoldering crater fashion.

''{Cut to a cinema entrance lobby. Posters for Dangeresque 3 and King Bubsgonzola Supreme hang in the background. Senor Cardgage is an usher; Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom walk in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The experience starts out promising enough...

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Good eef-ening, Bontilda. ''{takes Strong Bad's ticket and tears it}'' Forty-twone will be on your lest.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just you watch, The Cheat. Some day ''I'm'' gonna be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest.

''{Cut inside the cinema. Coach Z is watching the movie screen, fidgeting and thinking hard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It begins with the genius who can't resist answering the oh-so-challenging film trivia slides they show before the movie.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I know this one! The Brat Pack! Pan-and-scan! Spencer Tracy!

''{Cut to Strong Bad. The Cheat is visible on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Real impressive, Ebert. We've only seen this slide ten times since we all sat down.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' If you answered "B", you're ready for film school.

''{Cut back to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Awr, it was ''{hits himself}'' ice cold refreshment.

''{Cut to the screen, which reads:}''

<blockquote>
<big>MOVIE & REFRESHMENT TRIVIA*</big>
The correct answer was : 
B: Ice Cold Refreshment
*ACTUALLY JUST REFRESHMENT TRIVIA
</blockquote>

'''COACH Z: ''' I should've known.

''{Another slide is shown on the screen, with a picture of a bazooka with six tally marks on it, labeled "Please Be Considerate. Because no one wants to watch a smoldering crater."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Be considerate of others. Please turn off your bazookas before the progrum.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then, once the movie starts, don't forget the guy who insists on rattling off the complete filmographies of each of the actors.

''{Cut back to the audience, and pan from Pom Pom to Strong Sad.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' —but when I returned, the DNA evidence was gone!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, ''{points at screen}'' and he had a cameo as Stevedore #2 in the prequel, and he was in that car commercial with the wisecracking transmission, and he has a Bacon number of 4! ''{holds up four fingers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up and turns back to face Strong Sad}'' And this is my FIST! ''{raises said fist}'' You might remember it from ''Bloodied Pulp'', the amazingly true story of your face in five seconds! ''{sits back down}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pointing at Strong Bad}'' He was in ''Dangeresque 1'' and ''2''!

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is sitting next to Strong Bad and eating popcorn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And if you think the guy sitting next to you munching popcorn is bad, ''{Strong Bad's head turns slowly in The Cheat's direction}'' try going to a theater where people regularly sneak in their own all-you-can-eat fajitas!

''{Cut to the King of Town, who is holding a frying pan covered in sizzling food, with a stack of similar pans in the seat beside him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Looks at the camera}'' What?! This was all in my box of Milk Duds.

''{Pan back, behind the King of Town, there are the Knight (with a guitar), the Hornblower (with a horn) and the Blacksmith (with maracas). The three of them play a brief Mariachi melody. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that brings me to the little girl behind me who wouldn't shut up.

''{Pan behind Strong Bad, Homestar Runner is standing there, wearing a viking helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more! Ever and more! Ever and more!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is the kind of person that likes to talk to the movie. But not in the usual ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words}'' "Don't go in there!" or ''{Homestar mouths Strong Bad's words again}'' "Oh no he di'n't!" type of way. He just... makes small talk with the characters, and chit-chat.

''{Cut through white to some time in the movie. Homestar is sitting on his seat, with the viking helmet on the seat next to him.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' Well, I figured out their plan.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I figured I'd just cut up some iceberg lettuce, throw some tomatoes on there, maybe a little catalina. Nothing fancy, nothing fancy.

''{Cut through white to later in the movie. Homestar is lying on his seat, with his head resting on the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, have you ever been to a ground-breaking? I mean, what is the point of those things?

''{Cut through white again, Homestar is lying upside down on his seat, with his legs in the air.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know where the real money is? ''{shakes his legs}'' Phone books.

''{Cut through white yet again, Homestar is sitting up normally.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder how you spell tabasco. ''{stands up}'' TABASCOooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Gets up from his seat again and turns around.}'' What is wrong with you people?! Do you not notice the giant movie over here? Were all the local sit-around-and-suck-out-loud places closed?!

''{Strong Bad picks up a bazooka, holds it beside his head like a cell phone, and imitates a ringtone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, di-a-lo-do, da-a-lo-do, di-a-lo-do, ''die''!!

''{Strong Bad lowers the bazooka to point at the camera and fires it. Fade back to the computer room.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Pan and Scan|Pan and Scan]] refers to a technique by which film originally shot in widescreen format is transferred into a format compatible with the shape of common TV screens. In contrast, DVDs made using an [[Wikipedia:Anamorphic widescreen|anamorphic widescreen]] technique automatically fill [[Wikipedia:High-definition television|high-definition television]] screens that have a 16:9 aspect ratio and make full use of the available resolution.
*[[Wikipedia:French dressing|Catalina]] is a type of salad dressing made from tomato ketchup and sugar.
*[[ASCII art]] is an artistic medium that makes pictures entirely out of typed characters.
*A [[Wikipedia:Groundbreaking|groundbreaking]] is a photo-op ceremony in which executives or other noteworthy people dig the first shovel of dirt from a lot in which a new construction will be built.
*The slashes on the bazooka in the "Be Considerate" ad are a common mark on guns, tanks, and war ships to show how many kills they've made.
*A [[Wikipedia:Stevedore|stevedore]] is a person who works at or is responsible for loading and unloading ships in port.
*[[The Knight]], [[The Hornblower]], and [[The Blacksmith]] are playing instruments as if they were in a [[Wikipedia:Mariachi|mariachi band]].
*"[[Wikipedia:Bacon number|Bacon number]]" refers to the number of degrees of separation an actor has from actor [[Wikipedia:Kevin Bacon|Kevin Bacon]]. This, in turn, stems from the [[Wikipedia:Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon|Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon]] game that was popular in the early 1990s.
*[[Wikipedia:Milk Duds|Milk Duds]] are a popular candy often sold at movie theaters.
*Tabasco is both [[Wikipedia:Tabasco|a state in Mexico]] as well as the trademark name for a brand of [[Wikipedia:Tabasco sauce|hot pepper sauce]].

===Trivia===
*The release date on the Dangeresque 3 poster is:<blockquote>COMING <del>JUNE 2004</del> <del>APRIL 2005</del> <del>MEMORIALS DAY 2005</del> <del>AUGUST 2006</del> WE'LL SEE...</blockquote>
*[[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]'s [[Cool Shades]] in the poster have three lenses, relating to it being the third film. The number "3" is also visible, reflected in the center lens.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad rants about why he hates fellow moviegoers."

===Remarks===
*Despite the lack of a specific release date and that it just says "We'll see", the frame around the poster for Dangeresque 3 still labels the film as "Now Playing".
*When watching the [[ASCII art]] movie, Strong Bad says "Kind of a hypocrite!" because he was talking during it. However, he was ''yelling'' during the actual movie, and that is not mentioned.
*Note that the ASCII art is actually not real ASCII art as some of the characters are of different font sizes.
**This includes italicized fonts, including backward-italicized 1's and I's.


===Inside References===
*This is the third email in a row that mentions [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]].
*This email features another pronunciation of the word "program" as [[progrum]].
*Two of the movie posters are for ''[[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]]'' (based on [[unnatural]]) and ''[[dangeresque 3|Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'' (with no predetermined release date).
**The King Bubsgonzola Supreme poster was an Easter Egg in [[unnatural]].
*Strong Bad originally said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would come out in June 2004, hence the first crossed out date. The other three dates are of major releases: [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Senorial Day]], and [[Strongest Man in the World]], respectively.
*"Film school" was first mentioned in [[Puppets on the Road]].
*"Hi-YA!" is an example of [[Lowercase i's]].
*Strong Bad's "Told you I could do it," refers to his habit of mangling the [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|emailer's name]] and/or [[Strong Bad Email By Place|address]], which he doesn't do this time.
*The voice heard during the trivia screens and during the first movie clip is the same voice heard narrating the [[The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil|SBASAF]] filmstrip.

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Brat Pack (movies)|Brat Pack]] refers to a group of actors that rose to fame in the 1980s by starring in several teen-oriented movies.
*[[Wikipedia:Spencer Tracy|Spencer Tracy]] was a two-time [[Wikipedia:Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-winning film actor.
*Strong Bad's "Ebert" comment refers to [[Wikipedia:Roger Ebert|Roger Ebert]], a Chicago-based movie critic.
*The song Strong Bad "sings" before firing the bazooka is the "[[Wikipedia:Nokia tune|Nokia tune]]," based on a guitar work called "[http://www.nokia.com/BaseProject/Sites/NOKIA_MAIN_18022/CDA/Categories/AboutNokia/Company/InFocus/RingingtheChanges/_Content/_Static_Files/granvals_26s1-180kb.wav Gran Vals]".

===Fast Forward===

*The DNA scene would be revisited in the big toon [[DNA Evidence]]. In another scene of the toon, Strong Sad comments that the evidence [[Marzipan]] found looks "just like in the movies."
*Homestar Runner's "Ever and More" song would later be revealed to be the official chant of the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in the short [[Ever and More!]], in which he once again wears the [[horned helmet]].

== Necessary points ==

Is it really necessary to add such things to the walkthrough like:

* Offer the organ to Bubs. He'll tell you that it's not "legitimate business".

-and-

* Place Tony Stony in Strong Badia's slot on the model UN.
* Try running the draft. You'll notice the wheel jerks to a stop at Homestar Runner -- who, obviously, can't draft himself (and nearly starts a riot with himself trying). But when the wheel turns back around, Tony Stony's on the bottom. A-ha! The model UN and the wheel are connected! All you have to do is put Tony Stony in the right place!

when these aren't necessary to complete the game or get 100%? They do produce humorous results, but if SOME of those are in the walkthrough they all should be, IMO. I think they should all be in a "Did you try...?" section like the ones on Tell Tale's website.
(I forgot to sign-a my post-a) {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:Let me defend my work here. I'm not a fan of walkthroughs that just tell you "Do this, do this, do this, preheat the oven, blah blah blah." In an exploration game, and ''especially'' one like this with so many tricks, it seems to make sense to show people ''why'' and not just ''what''. For example: Why the crap would you drop the power strip, tuning fork, and 3-ring binder in the pylon? Because the cave painting depicts the places you dug them up. To butcher the saying, "Give a man a solution, and he'll be playing one episode; Teach him the solution and he'll succeed playing Episode 3." [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::I understand that reasoning, but I could also say, in rebuttal, that this form of writing could lead readers into thinking that those events are necessary for each step. This is just my opinion and you also have a good point. However, I'm not a fan of doing things listed in walkthroughs and looking back at a particular step and asking "what good did that do?" when the point of a walkthrough (again, in my opinion) is to help you get out of a place you're stuck in. Even so, you can still write the Tony Stony step in a way that still teaches the reader the mechanics of the draft. Something like:
::* Placing Tony Stony in a slot on the model UN wheel will weigh the draft lottery wheel down and make the tile opposite it be the winner. The goal is to draft Coach Z and the slot opposite his tile is Poopslovakia's.
::or something LIKE that (I'm not too good at phrasing things, but you get the idea). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::That's a good point. As this Walkthrough becomes more standardized -- i.e., once we get all the 100% completion items up -- I'll add the Legend from [[Homestar Ruiner]], so that the items that explain the game will be ''italicized'', and the bare minimum will be '''bolded''' as on that page. That's a fair compromise... but I'd rather wait until we have a complete unit to do that, and I lost my notes from last night's fried chicken pizza bender. [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::::I'm not so sure about keeping the organ-at-Bubs' thing — it's pretty obvious you need to take it to the black market from the start. But I'd keep the part about putting Tony Stony in the Strong Badia display, for one simple reason: isn't that the most logical place for it to go if you don't have a better idea? It's conspicuously empty and Marzipan tells Strong Bad that he can put something in it. But, yeah, once everything's all set up, we should '''bold''' the mandatory stuff and ''italicize'' the "just for flavor" steps as in the [[Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:16, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::That's a good idea too. Kinda one-o-dose "have your cake and eat it too" sort of things. Bold things that add points toward the "100%-ness" of the game while still leaving the mechanics reminding/informing steps as well. I haven't seen the Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough before now so I didn't know that's what the ultimate goal was (and I like it). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 12:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

== Superwikifying ==

I put a few spare Wikipedia links (hypochondria and R. Lee Ermey) in appropriate areas to avoid a giant "Explanations" section. I was thinking of expanding a little on this idea. For example, where it's noted that the concession stand is an economy-based neutral zone, a Wikipedia link to Switzerland would help explain the reference. Would this be overkill?

In an exploration game, and ''especially'' one like this with so many tricks, it seems to make sense to show people ''why'' and not just ''what''. For example: Why the crap would you drop the power strip, tuning fork, and 3-ring binder in the pylon? Because the cave painting depicts the places you dug them up. To butcher the saying, "Give a man a solution, and he'll be playing one episode; Teach him the solution and he'll succeed playing Episode 3." [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
::I understand that reasoning, but I could also say, in rebuttal, that this form of writing could lead readers into thinking that those events are necessary for each step. This is just my opinion and you also have a good point. However, I'm not a fan of doing things listed in walkthroughs and looking back at a particular step and asking "what good did that do?" when the point of a walkthrough (again, in my opinion) is to help you get out of a place you're stuck in. Even so, you can still write the Tony Stony step in a way that still teaches the reader the mechanics of the draft. Something like:
::* Placing Tony Stony in a slot on the model UN wheel will weigh the draft lottery wheel down and make the tile opposite it be the winner. The goal is to draft Coach Z and the slot opposite his tile is Poopslovakia's.
::or something LIKE that (I'm not too good at phrasing things, but you get the idea). {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 05:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

== Superwikifying ==

I put a few spare Wikipedia links (hypochondria and R. Lee Ermey) in appropriate areas to avoid a giant "Explanations" section. I was thinking of expanding a little on this idea. For example, where it's noted that the concession stand is an economy-based neutral zone, a Wikipedia link to Switzerland would help explain the reference. Would this be overkill?

Strong Badia the Free Walkthrough

NFITC1 — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:08:03 GMT

NFITC1: /* Part 1: House Arrest?!? */

A complete walkthrough to ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Episode 2: [[Strong Badia the Free]]''. Please note that this walkthrough is meant to guide you through in the fastest way possible; it doesn't go over all the collectibles and other things to get you to 100%. For now.

{{spoiler}}

==Part 1: House Arrest?!?==

The King of Town has '''really''' gone mad with power this time! And he ate your map! Anyways, after the Poopsmith puts an exploding collar on your neck, look out the window. Looks like the whole gang hates ol' Kingy! How sweet. Talk to them if you want; you'll find out that they've got an effigy of the KoT. And I use the term "effigy" loosely. Looks like we're going to make that effigy look like the real thing. Go into Strong Sad's room (across the hall) and into the bathroom on the other side. Grab the towel hanging there. Then, go downstairs. Go left until you get to SB's room. Click on the cabinet to get the paper crown. Then click on the Taranchula Black Metal Detector (now with built-in shovel attachment). If you want, click on the FunMachine to play [[Math Kickers]]. Once you get bored of that, head downstairs to the basement. Grab the pillow on the washer, then go to the TV room. Click on the couch patch to get some stuffing. Go back to the computer room and look outside. Throw the towel, crown, stuffing and pillow down to the crowd. The Cheat will incinerate the effigy, which will also destroy the invisible fence. Hooray! Onward to Strong Badia!

Strong Badia has declared its independence from "The Of Town" and declares open rebellion. Who's with Strong Bad on this one? Everyone... but not the way he had hoped, as they all decide declaring independence is a great idea. Now everyone in Free Country USA is their own independent nation -- including The Cheat, who has carved out part of Strong Badia from under you! D'OH!

==Part 2: Strong Bad's Rise to Power==

Well, I guess it's time to annex some countries. Let's start out with The Cheat and Tirerea (worst country name ever). Grab the game board that's lying next to the stop sign. The map has been officially replaced! Head on over to "Bleak House". It turns out it's actually your house! Don't go inside, yet; there's no need. Just click on the box next to the door to get a pilot's wings medal from FPR. Go back to Strong Badia and give them to The Cheat. In return, his country will become part of the Strong Badian Empire. And, better yet, you get your lighter! Okay, NOW go you have need to go inside Bleak House. Go upstairs to Strong Sad's room. For the throne room of a country, it's pretty unimpressive. Ah, well. Grab the fake sword that's under his bed. Burn his Constitution, Bill of Rights, and flag. Enter The Cheat. Strong Sad has two choices—enter into a decidedly short war with Strong Badia, or become part of it. He makes the smart choice and joins the Strong Badian Empire. Nice jorb getting two contries to annex, but there are many more to come.

==Part 3: The Fall and Rather Quick Rise of the East==

It's now time to move on to the eastern countries: Pompomerania and the cleverly named country of Country. Head on over to the capital of Pompomerania to find that it is...Club Technochocolate!?! Cool! Swap out the sword on the wall for Strong Sad's fake sword. Then grab a glow stick and talk to Bubs. Ask for a drink and choose the right-most one—The Atom Smasher. Throw the glow stick in there and pick up the drink. The "Shogun" (Pom Pom) is very impressed by the drink and decides to become part of Strong Badia. That was easy.

==Part 4: The Country of... erm... Country==

Yup, that's right, someone gave Strong Mad his own patch of land. You can try negotiating with him, but it won't be easy without The Cheat. Thankfully, Strong Mad tells The Cheat of the requirement: a test of a mighty warrior. And by test, we mean monster. And by monster, we mean Strong Mad standing behind a cardboard poster for Taranchula. Okay then. Fortunately, that sword you swiped from Pom Pom ought to do the trick. Hack off either head first -- oh, crap, Strong Mad just put it back on. This'll require some strategy. Next to your "foe" is a stack of paper mache skulls. (Marzipan had some spare time.) Paper, huh? Sounds like they're ''flammable!'' Burn the skulls, then hack off the monster's "ice head" (Strong Mad's left hand, to your right.) It falls into the skulls and is out of commission. Strong Mad will represent this by squirting ketchup from the "wound" -- and while he does, he can't catch the other head when you slice it off! The monster is defeated! You've passed the test, and Country rejoins Strong Badia.

Before you leave, though, Strong Mad requests you take along Tony Stony (Country's vice-president) as a diplomat/gift. Strong Bad (somehow) puts it in his pants. Onward!

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, oh, email's in the backyard, makin' some stew...

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Perfect email</div>
Hey StrongBad 
I was just wondering: what do you look for in an email? 
Another words, describe that dream email that you would like 
to recieve one day. 
With lots of anticipation, Danny Gedgafov from Glenview, IL</blockquote>

''{After reading "Another words," Strong Bad says, "Oh, look! And there's some another words." Also, he has difficulty reading Danny's name, resulting in the following.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Danny Geh-geh-geh... Gih-gih-gih... Ge-ka-koff...from Gliggityvoo, Illinois. ''{He pronounces the S of Illinois.}'' ''{typing}'' My dream email. My "dreamail." ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' Well plain ol' Danny, there are a lot of email-fish out there in the Email Sea. And while most of them are those nasty bottom-feeders with the suckhole mouth, there are a few that break the glimmering surface of the water, to glisten in the sunset for a few fleeting moments like some kind of glorious e-marlin. Another words, please allow me to ditch the fishing metaphor and hit you with the pink border.

''{A pink border appears around the edge of the screen, causing the center to turn white. The whiteness fades into Strong Bad at the Lappy, which now has a golden chain license-plate cover around its screen reading "MY LAPPY ATE YOUR DOG" at the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, orchestra, hit it! ''{The orchestra starts up, and Strong Bad sings in an operatic style.}'' Email me tonight!

''{The orchestra hits its last two notes, and the Lappy booting sequence begins. However, the Lappy emblem now looks female with blonde hair, and speaks to Strong Bad with corresponding text appearing below it.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Good morning, Strong Bad. You're looking prooty hot. You have one unread messages.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, thank you, Lappy. You're looking prooty hot too. On screen!

''{Strong Bad clears the bootup screen, and reads the new email.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: French countryside</div>
Dear Mssr. Eleganté, 
You left your pocketwatch in the hot tub. When will you be back to retrieve it? 
-128 Hot Katies</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' My Katies 1-128, Good to hear from all y'all (especially you, Katie 80). When my raucous schedule ''{pronounced as "shedule"}'' permits, I will triumphantly/abundantly ''{pronounced as triumphantly slash abundantly}'' return to the chateau for my ruby-encrusted pocketwatch. I have plans tonight, however, but I will, furthermore, heretofore, be back on morrow next. Please tell Adelaide that the poached eggs were tremendous. Forever Young, Chester Eleganté ''{Strong Bad hits enter, and the female Lappy icon appears back onscreen as the email disappears.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Well played, Strong Bad. Those ladies are sure to be all up ons.

''{The pink border and such fades away as we cut back to the normal world.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man. If I got that email, I would have it bronzed, and then dipped in...uh guacamole and The Cheat would read it to me every night at supper.

''{The scene cuts back to the pink border dreamworld, this time at a banquet table (made out of a door) with large windows in the background, a covered serving tray and a golden chalice (or maybe just a doorknob). Strong Bad rolls forward in a plush chair with fork in hand to where the serving tray is. The Cheat's arm improbably stretches out from the right side of the screen and lifts the cover}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Cadbury Creme Egg omelette! ''{calling offscreen}'' Continue, The Cheat.

''{The camera pans to the other end of the table, where The Cheat is sitting in a similar chair, holding a bronze plaque with guacamole all over it. The Cheat starts to read it, then growls, rubs part of the front of the plaque, and continues. The camera pans back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, I love that part! Read it again, slowly, and... backwards.

''{The camera pans back to The Cheat, who starts to read backwards, slowly and with some difficulty. Homestar Runner walks on-camera from the left side of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{while The Cheat is still reading}'' The Cheat! What's been up?

''{The camera pans back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Bad, found your pocketwatch. ''{Homestar tosses a ruby-encrusted pocketwatch in Strong Bad's omelette.}'' Katie 80 says "What's up". ''{The camera pans back to The Cheat.}'' So, The Cheat! What's been up?

''{The camera cuts to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' CRAP THE WHAT?! ''{Strong Bad bangs on the table with his fists.}'' This pink border is '''not''' ''{Bangs on table with his fists}'' holding up its end of the bargain! ''{Bangs on table with fists}'' Come on, pink border, ''{bangs on table one last time as he gets up frantically}'' get your head in the game!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Pink border?

''{The scene cuts back to the real world, where Homestar is standing to the right of Strong Bad at his computer desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, what are you talking aboot?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks around for a moment}'' Oh, we're back here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. I found your pocket lint. ''{puts some pocket lint on the desk}'' And Marzipan says you're an ogre.

''{The camera focuses back on Strong Bad and the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Awww! I knew I shoulda gone with a puffy white cloud border. Those things never let you down. Homestar never woulda shown up in a Puffy White Cloud Dreamail.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I do hate white clowns.

''{A center wipe suddenly happens with white clouds forming the border. Strong Bad's computer desk is now apparently in a submarine, with the text "NUCLEAR CLASS SUBMARINE 'SOCCERMOM'" painted on the inside of its hull. As Strong Bad types, some creature with a huge eye looks in through a nearby porthole, and the pinging of a sonar can be heard in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And if you ignore all the facts and scientific evidence, then those weird little kids were right. Thanks for your question, Leonard Nimoy. I'll be back next week to solve another Celebrity Murder Mystery. ''{stops typing and stands up, addressing the camera}'' But right now, I gotta fly.

''{Strong Bad strikes a pose, and strings suddenly appear attached to him. Strong Bad makes various noises as he is lifted away to the upper right corner of the screen, where he gets stuck. The Paper, which now seems to be modeled after the [[Wikipedia:United States Constitution|U.S. Constitution]], comes down with the Strong Bad email link looking like it has been written on it in marker}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Emarlin.PNG|thumb|An e-marlin breaks the glimmering surface of the Lappy.]]
*Click on "[[e-marlin]]" to cause an [[ASCII art]] marlin to jump from the bottom of the screen.
*Click on the graffiti on Strong Bad's dream table to see a zoomed-in view of it. It reads, "Ooh Dang, Strong Bad! You go child!" and is signed "Jackeé".
*Click on the Lappy's screen at the end of the email to hear additional dialogue from the female Lappy.
:''{The Female Lappy appears back on-screen}''
:'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Don't fly, Strong Bad. Please come down. I worry about you. I can see the strings.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*"You have one unread messages." is a reference to poorly written computer programs that do not special case the number one. A better program would have had the Female Lappy 486 saying, "You have one unread message."
*The misspelling of "prooty" when Lappy 486 says "pretty" is a reference to old speech synthesizers like [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automated Mouth]] that forced the user to use phonetic spelling to make the words come out right.

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#miner 2049er|miner 2049er]]".

===Remarks===
*The words "about" and "schedule" are pronounced using the [[Wikipedia:Canadian English|stereotypical Canadian pronunciations]] "aboot" and "shedule".
*When Strong Bad gets up, [[The Geddup Noise]] does not occur.
*This is one of the few emails that shows Strong Bad actually typing. One of the other times this is shown is in [[dullard]], but Strong Bad's style of typing has changed since then.
*Despite all the fuss Strong Bad makes about correct grammar and punctuation, he fails to realize or acknowledge that Danny has spelled the word ''receive'' wrong in his email.
*This is the first time the new design of Strong Bad's stool appears. The old one just showed two legs and looked two-dimensional while the new design shows all four legs for a more 3D look.
*There is no back button at the end of this email.
*During the dream scene and after the dream scene, Homestar's eyes appear closer than normal. Another instance of this was in [[time capsule]].

===Goofs===
*The official French abbreviation for ''Monsieur'' is "M.", but it is misspelled as "Mssr." in the "French Countryside" dream email. This may be based on the abbreviation "Messrs." or "Mssrs.", standing for Messieurs, the plural of Monsieur. The spelling also resembles the way French actually pronounce ''Monsieur'', which Strong Bad imitates.

===Inside References===
*The phrase "[[All up ons]]" is from the email [[suntan]].
*The Celebrity Murder Mystery is very similar to a comment made by Homsar in [[suntan]].
*The strings pulling up Strong Bad may be a reference to a similar flight made by Homestar in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*This is another instance of [[Killing Dogs|killing someone's dog]].

===Real-World References===
*The pink border is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Saved by the Bell|Saved by the Bell]], which used the same border for its dream sequences. This was confirmed by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for this email.
*Strong Bad's dreamail dinner table is made from the front door from the show [[Wikipedia:227 (TV series)|"227"]] and is signed by actress [[Wikipedia:Jackée Harry|Jackée Harry]] who played Sandra Clark on the late '80s sitcom.
*[[Wikipedia:Cadbury Creme Egg|Cadbury Creme Eggs]] are chocolate eggs with a white and yellow fondant filling produced by [[Wikipedia:Cadbury Schweppes|Cadbury Schweppes]].
*The sign-off "Forever young" also appeared in an Easter egg in [[personal favorites]]. It is a reference to the 1973 [[Wikipedia:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]] song that became a hit for [[Wikipedia:Rod Stewart|Rod Stewart]] in 1988 or possibly the [[Wikipedia:Alphaville (band)|Alphaville]] song of the same name, which was a hit in 1984.
*The Cheat's method of removing the cover from Strong Bad's serving tray is an homage to [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]].
*When Strong Bad says "On screen!" it is a reference to innumerable [[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]] episodes in which [[Wikipedia:Jean-Luc Picard|Captain Jean-Luc Picard]] gives the same command.
*[[IMDB:nm0000559|Leonard Nimoy]] is the actor who played "Spock" on the original Star Trek series. Strong Bad's reference to him and scientific facts is probably related to [[Wikipedia:In Search Of...|In Search Of...]], a television show hosted by Nimoy that explored controversial explanations of the paranormal and disputed historical events.

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

'''MATT:''' That was a nice little jig.

'''MIKE:''' Song. A jig is a dance.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' But he was probably doing one there in the stool.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah we could se—

'''MATT:''' Sitting in the stool.

'''MIKE:''' What are you saying?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' I wanna start this one over.

'''MIKE:''' No, let's keep going. It's good.

'''MATT:''' Are you sure?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' How many of these do you think on this DVD we said that we were gonna start over and then don't?

'''MIKE:''' I think this is the fourth or fifth one.

'''MATT:''' Nice!

''{short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' I haven't watched this one in a while.

'''MATT:''' I know. I don't know what happens in it. Who's this guy talking right now?

'''MIKE:''' Red Head. ''{both laugh}'' That's Ol' Red Head.

''{pause until Strong Bad types "suckhole mouth"}''

'''MIKE:''' That— "Suckhole" is some foul language.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are we allowed to say that on the DVD?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I don't think so!

'''MATT:''' I think it's worse that the DVD standard.

''{pause until Strong Bad types pink border}''

'''MATT:''' So the pink border, Mike—

'''MIKE:''' Oh!

'''MATT:''' Pioneered by ''Saved By the Bell''.

'''MIKE:''' It's true!

'''MATT:''' Dream sequences.

''{both laugh}''

'''MATT:''' That's a nice license plate border he's got on his Lappy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I'd like to get one of those for my uh—

'''MATT:''' Look at that hot logo!

'''MIKE:''' Listen to that hot voice!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' She is a— a fine— a hip, hip, hip, hip, hip lady. The Lappy logo.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Uh... what did Mssr. Elegante come from? Didn't you— or did you just make that up?

'''MIKE:''' I think I just made that up. I don't remember if it was from something or not.

''{pause until after Strong Bad types Katie 80}''

'''MIKE:''' That rhymes.

'''MATT:''' Umm... "schedule" ''{says it like "shedule"}'' obviously is the very highbrow way to say "schedule".

'''MIKE:''' Or the very my second grade teacher way to say it.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Who was that?

'''MIKE:''' Mrs. Wilburn.

'''MATT:''' Wilburn?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I don't remember her.

'''MIKE:''' She was gone by your— by your days.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{short pause until Strong Bad types Chester Elegante}''

'''MATT:''' Is that Adalaide from ''Facts of Life'', Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Probably.

'''MATT:''' The maid.

'''MIKE:''' One of them— one of the several— or I guess it was ''Different Strokes'' that kept changing. They had Pearl.

'''MATT:''' Oh, maybe she was on— oh Adalaide might have been ''Different Strokes''—

'''MIKE:''' Mrs. Garret was—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's why I'm mixing them up.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause until scene cuts to the dinner table}''

'''MATT:''' So this is—

'''MIKE:''' Speaking of TV shows on Saturday nights—

'''MATT:''' Mmm hmm—

'''MIKE:''' Like uh— ''Facts of Life''. There's 227.

'''MATT:''' Look. It's signed by Jackée!

'''MIKE:''' There's a—

'''MATT:''' The best part is that I don't think there was a door that says 227 on it or something err—

'''MIKE:''' In my mind that— they were sitting on a stoop and there was a door always that said 227.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, maybe a door—

'''MIKE:''' But I think I'm making it up.

'''MATT:''' But I think that was the number of the uh-the building 'cause they lived in a brownstone so 227 wasn't like somebody's apartment number which is sorta what that door looks like.

''{short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' You've got a Cadbury Creme Egg in your desk drawer.

'''MATT:''' I still do! I don't—

'''MIKE:''' It's from Easter.

'''MATT:''' I don't know if I'm gonna eat it.

'''MIKE:''' I can't believe I haven't eaten it in some fit of hunger.

'''MATT:''' That room—

'''MIKE:''' That—

'''MATT:''' That room definitely looks like that room at the end of, uh— 2001.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm hmm—

'''MATT:''' When after he's gone through the s— the monolith. It scares me in there. I wouldn't make my— my dream house look like that.

'''MIKE:''' I used to have this, uh— dream house that was a giant like maybe— 30 foot wide carpeted stairway. And it just went down to this opening with like six doors off of it.

'''MATT:''' Uh huh?

'''MIKE:''' Gosh. I drew a picture of it in low res on the— on our old IBM.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' On the green low-res graphics.

'''MATT:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' I drew this picture of a giant carpeted stairway.

'''MATT:''' We should broach— we should go back and do this again and talk about the email.
