==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' A-when you dribble down the court with an email, you leave your dreams at the top of the keeey. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Trading Stong-gum</div>
Hey Strongbad- 
You should have trading cards...With a stick of gum in them. 
Nerdly yours, 
Daniel, 
N.S. CANADA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Another freakin' guy named Daniel" instead of "Daniel" and "not safe, in Canada" instead of "N.S. CANADA".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and whispering}'' Oh! Thanks for the tip, Daniel. I'll lay low here in the states for a while until things cool off. ''{clears screen, talking normally}'' Daniel, trading cards are the biggest waste of not a video game on the planet! In fact, I thought trading cards were outlawed the day they invented good graphics. As for that "gum" that comes with them, I'm pretty sure they replaced that with a pink piece of balsa wood back in the early 80's and nobody ever noticed. So, no, I shouldn't have trading cards. But most of the other idiots round here have engaged in some form of trading cardery. Let's rag on them, shall we?

''{A small area of the top of Strong Bad's computer desk is shown, and trading cards are put on it as Strong Bad introduces them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' First up is Coach Z's line of vaguely sportsish managerial cards. What self-respecting twelve-year-old doesn't want to collect pictures of the smelly old men behind their favorite sports teams? And who could resist memorizing all these fabulous stats? Ooh, a record high 23 butt pats in '84.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, who do you think was the lucky recipient of all those butt pats 'cept a one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let me guess, it—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' No, it was me. It was like I was made to hustle that season.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, who got that last butt pat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. I think he gave himself that one. He's re-known for his self-butt pats.

''{closeup of Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''known'' in seven states.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' What?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad typing on his Lappy. He clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up, we got the Cheat's trading card game, which is really more like a trading card activity or trading card goings-on, because the word 'game' implies fun and enjoyment.

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And you won't find none of that here.

''{Wipe to 20X6 the field with Stinkoman and Cheatball.}''

'''STINKOMAN''': CHEATBALL POISON RAIN VORNADO!!!

''{He throws the Cheatball toward the screen.}''

'''CHEATBALL''': Cheatball!

''{It explodes in a green cloud of gas. As it dissipates, numbers appear in the four corners of the screen and change rapidly. The words "PLAY GET!" flashes on the screen and the 20X6 credit song plays}''

'''STINKOMAN''': Uhm, so, did I win? Does anyone know how this game works?

''{Wipe back to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk with trading cards lying on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I'll trade you your Cheatball card for my Deathly Pallor Lonely Lurker Attack card.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, those aren't even from the same lame game. Or SLG.

''{closeup of Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Your'' game is for musky nerds to play in the basement of the freshman dorms. This cutesy Japanesey game is for little kids to play during recess, to make sure they don't get any real exercise.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well how are them kids gonna earn any butt pats if they don't hustle it out?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't think butt pats are part of the approved curriculum in elementary schools these days.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's just sad.

''{Strong Bad turns back to his Lappy; cut back to him typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The only trading cards I really gave a toot about were...

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' .. the Poopsmith's line of gross-out cards for kids.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I'll trade you that Petey POOPsmith for this Marzi-PANCAKE.

''{Cut back. Homestar is still there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You just keep showing up, don't ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, I'll throw in this rare STING of Town, too.

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' How 'bout I trade ''you''...

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...a "get outta my face" for this...

''{Cut to Strong Bad drawing on a sticky note, with the Lappy in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' uhhhh...

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' ...one of a kind Strong Bad bench-pressing dinosaurs collector's card.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hooo-ray!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him. Homestar is covered in sticky notes with Strong Bad and dinosaurs on them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My collection is complete! And ''here'', my good man, is your "get outta your face". ''{runs off}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After some time has passed...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How many times have we had that conversation?

''{Homestar Runner quickly pops his head back into the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Thirty-five!

''{disappears again quickly}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Fan with dimetrodon.PNG|thumb|i fan myself w/ dimetrodon]]
*Click on "good graphics" to reveal the title screen of the 1982 [[Videlectrix]] video game [[C.H.E.A.T.]]
*Click on the Strong Sad card when Strong Bad turns around to see another Strong Sad card.
*Click on the stack of cards at the end to see all of the trading cards featured in this email up close.
*Click on the sticky notes on the floor at the end to see them up close.

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*Coach Z's trading cards are references to sports cards which often feature an image of a player of a sport playing said sport. Statistics like the ones on the back of Coach Z's cards are similar to the statistics found on sports cards as well.
*Strong Bad uses the acronym "SLG" for "same lame game." SLG is also an abbreviation for "simulation game" in Japan, which is fitting because of the appearance of the Cheatball's trading card game in this e-mail.

===Trivia===
*The back of the "Showering Expert" card reads -
<pre>Coach Z
Crunk Warriors
1984 Stat-at-at-ats
Butt pats..................23
Hat throws..................8
Dirt kicks.................13
Shorts..................3 in.
"Ol' Butt Patterson
once made a castle
out of toliet paper!"</pre>
*This is the first time we have ever seen 20X6 The Cheat's real name, heard him speak, or even seen what he actually looks like, other than his face.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#kyrandia_series|kyrandia series]]".
*"Vornado" is another example of [[Portmanteaus|portmanteaus]], being a combination of "vortex" and "tornado".

===Remarks===
*The [[Wikipedia:Dimetrodon|Dimetrodon]] Strong Bad fans himself with in an Easter egg was a real creature that is commonly mistaken for a [[Dinosaurs|dinosaur]]. In actuality, it was a [[Wikipedia:synapsid|synapsid]] (mammal-like reptile) that lived before the first dinosaurs appeared.
*Strong Bad's dinosaur cards do not use the usual Ahnberg Hand [[Fonts|font]] for his handwriting.
*The "Firey How to Play Convusion" card's white shadow says, "Fiery How to ''Score'' Convusion".
*Strong Bad says, "Another freakin' guy named Daniel," but at the time of this email, there had been only one other [[Strong_Bad_Email_By_Name_of_Sender#D|email sender]] by the name of Daniel. However, there had been ten senders with names that are variations of Daniel; i.e. Dan and Danny.

===Goofs===
[[Image:SB_Dino_09.png|thumb|125px|Drawing outside the box]]
*For a single frame, Strong Bad's drawing (148 more reps!) remains after he lifts the [[Sticky Notes|sticky note]] up.
*Part of the drawing on one of the sticky notes goes outside the border of the note.
*Both notes zoom in from the upper note, regardless of which note is clicked.
*The "Showering Expert" Coach Z trading card does not have a grey border on the outside.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was first released, "Pallor" was spelled as "Palor" on Strong Sad's playing card. This has since been fixed.
*When this email was first released, clicking on the sticky notes at the end did nothing. This was changed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad's [[Grim Reaper]] costume originally appeared in [[Experimental Film]].
*Strong Sad was known as "The Deathly Pallor" in [[impression]]; this is also the name of his [[The Deathly Pallor|radio host alter-ego]] in [[radio]].
*Strong Sad's Easter egg card calls him [[Prance|Prancibald]], which was first used in [[flashback]] by Strong Bad to describe Homestar.
*This is another appearance of [[Butt-Patting|butt-patting]].
*This is also another appearance of [[Dan]].
*Strong Sad was described as a lurker in [[garage sale]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*"Crunk Warriors" refers to Coach Z's hip-hop tendencies.
*The Coach Z trading cards closely resemble the Pom-Pom Basketball card in the email [[different town]]
*The capsules on the top of the stinko-man card possibly refers to that in [[time capsule]].

===Real-World References===
*"[[Whatsit]] Pile Tikes" are a parody of [[Wikipedia:Garbage Pail Kids|Garbage Pail Kids]].
*The title screen for "C.H.E.A.T." is a reference to the notoriously unpopular [[Atari 2600]] game ''[[Wikipedia:E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600)|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'', which is often cited as one of the main causes of the [[Wikipedia:Video_game_crash_of_1983|video game crash of 1983]]. The game featured an uncharacteristically detailed [[Wikipedia:Image:ET2600-TheBestPart.png|title screen]] described as being the "best part of the game". [http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/et.shtml]
*The "Beleaguered: Alliance" cards with Strong Sad are a reference to "[[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]]" or "[[Wikipedia:Vampire: The Eternal Struggle|Vampire: The Eternal Struggle]]", the latter being most likely as the art on Strong Sad's cards closely resembles that of White Wolf's game.
**However, The "Beleagured: Alliance" cards have white numbers on them in the lower right, that of Magic The Gathering.
*The Stinkoman Cards are a parody of Japanese trading card games such as ''[[Wikipedia:Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''; in particular, the points that appear onscreen during the 20X6 sequence resemble those from the [[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]], but the yellow cards with attack names more closely resemble Pokémon cards.
**Yu-Gi-Oh cards are also referenced through the Stinkoman card game because of Stinkoman's confusion on learning how to play the game, as Yu-Gi-Oh is often considered a difficult game to play.
*Cheatball saying "Cheatball" is also a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] animé, where most Pokémon speak by saying their name.

PurpleKoopa:

[[Image:Very Very Little Girl.PNG|thumb|right|200px|"You seem like a smart kid."]]
The '''Very, Very Little Girl''' made her debut in July 2006 in [[Summer Short Shorts]] and can only be seen by clicking on the "n" in "End" at the end of the toon. Much to [[Homestar Runner]]'s dismay, she does not respond to him, despite his numerous attempts to get her attention, such as dancing or asking her to "say something cute" or "talk about picking your nose." She is likely the daughter of [[Mike Chapman]] and [[Missy Palmer]].

PurpleKoopa: added appearance

[[Image:Homestar's cinnamon beard.PNG|thumb|Lookin' good, Homestar]]
'''[[Wikipedia:Cinnamon|Cinnamon]]''' appears several times on [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestarrunner.com]]. It usually appears on [[Homestar Runner]]'s face in the mornings or late at night, making it look like [[Wikipedia:Stubble|stubble]].

According to the [[caper#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[caper]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] used a "trick" for making stubble in their old movies: they would get cinnamon and put it on their faces.

===Appearances===
*'''Debut:''' [[Homestar Quiz]] — One part of the recipe for "[[The Poopsmith]]s Super Deluxe [[Whatsit|You-Know-What]] Cookies" is 1 tsp. of "cinammon".
*Email [[caper]] — Homestar Runner walks onto [[The Field]] in his night clothes with cinnamon on his face.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]] — Homestar Runner wakes up with cinnamon on his face.
*Email [[secret identity]] — Homestar Runner walks out from behind [[Bubs' Concession Stand|Bubs' Motor Lodge]] wearing his cinnamon beard, a robe and gold shirt that reads "I &hearts; Toxic Waste", and his [[Homestar's Slippers|bunny slippers]].
*[[Weclome Back]] — Homestar Runner, apperantly just woken up, as cinnamon on his face.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well that's great.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Zoom in.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

''{Zoom in even tighter.}''

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

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

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

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

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

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

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

'''EVERYONE:''' Yours.

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

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

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

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

===Remarks===
*Coach Z's line about "Glorten" Camp echoes a similar line from him in [[mascot]]. There, he refers to the same entity in two different ways, and here, he refers to two different entities in the same way.

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

Weclome Back

'''Running Time:''' 4:37

'''Page Title:''' Your dreams were your ticket out...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well that's great.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Zoom in.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

''{Zoom in even tighter.}''

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

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

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

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

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

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

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

'''EVERYONE:''' Yours.

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

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

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

===Remarks===
*Coach Z's line about "Glorten" Camp echoes a similar line from him in [[mascot]]. There, he refers to the same entity in two different ways, and here, he refers to two different entities in the same way.

* Pantsburg is one of the [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|places Strong Bad visited]] on his [[vacation]] and one of the places in [[Limozeen]]'s [[Limozeen#Zeenin' Across the Country 2001|Zeenin' Across the Country tour]].
* When Strong Bad says "I can't believe I pulled the 'Mash stop when you think you're mashing record, and mash record when you think you're mashing stop' on myself" is a reference to [[Mashing_Go|mashing go/play on something]]

* Bubs pronounces "shaped plants" the same way Strong Bad and Teenage Homestar pronounced "striped pants" in [[highschool]].
* One of the places the Cool Tapes band visits is East Westerburg. Westerberg (spelled slightly differently) was visited in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], and it was to the east of the player's starting location.
* The Poopsmith is [[Dangeresque Too]]'s sunglasses, respectively.
* In addition to the two ropes attaching the tire swings to the tree at the obstacle course, a third rope hangs from the sky and sways gently, as did the rope featured in [[A Folky Tale]].
* The "Gumball Surprise" is another example of a [[Concoctions|concoction]].

===Real-World References===
*The city "The Slickster" (as seen on the Cool Tapes tour map) is a reference to former WWF manager Kenneth Johnson, who's ring name was Slick and often called "The Slickster" by the commentators.

[[Image:pizzaz.png|thumb|Twin Strong Bads]]
'''Twin characters''' is a phenomenon that occurs several times throughout the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe, where a single character appears more than once in the same scene.

==Appearances==

*'''Debut:''' [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]
:At the end [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] as Angus Young and [[Strong Bad]] as Homestar as Angus Young are shown. Earlier, Strong Bad and [[The Goblin]] as Strong Bad were seen.

However, the sight of two Strong Bads simultaneously makes [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head explode]].
*[[Senorial Day]]

{{sbenav|6|making out|halloweener}}

[[Image:sbemail6.PNG|thumb|"He says you're dumb and a crappy guy."]]

Anthony thinks Strong Sad is dumb and a crappy guy and wants Strong Bad to deliver the message.

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

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]]

{{Comp|Tandy 400}}

'''Date:''' 2001

'''Running Time:''' 0:52

'''Page Title:''' Tandy 500!!

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' I check, you check, we all check for email, check an email.

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Tell Strong Sad he is dumb and a crappy guy . 
Your fan, 
Anthony 
from South Gate CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "CA" as "Cah". He then gets up.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is working on a desk with a card, scissors and "SCHOOL PASTE." There are paper shards lying around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sticks hands and head through door}'' Hey, stupid! You know some guy named Anthony from South Gate?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah. I was just making him this card—

''{He picks up the card. Its front is white and has "TO: ANTHONY" written on it with a picture of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and gonna send him a hundred dolla-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well he says you're dumb and a crappy guy. ''{leaves}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{disappointed}'' Ohhhhhhhhh. ''{starts to rip card in half}''

''{Cut back to the Tandy 400.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sits back down, clears screen and starts typing}'' Look Anthony, as much as I like insulting my stupid kid brother, I'm not your freaking message service, alright? Next time, you email him yourself. ''{stops typing}'' His email address is: ''{typing}'' [mailto:depressio@homestarrunner.com depressio@homestarrunner.com] ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so until next time, ''{singing}'' "Everybody email that guy!" "What guy?" "ME!" "Everybody email that guy!"

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

== Easter Eggs ==
<ul><li>
For a while, emailing depressio@homestarrunner.com would result in this response:
<blockquote>Hello there, 
I hope your email wasn't full of awful, hurtful remarks like all the rest but I'll never know. I 
stopped reading emails a long time ago and wish my brother would stop giving out my address. Before you 
start making fun of me again, I'd like to share something with you. 
 
[[HR:sadjournal/wonderyears.html|http://www.homestarrunner.com/sadjournal/wonderyears.html]] 
 
I hope this puts us on the same page of this dusty, many volumed set of 
ever-changing encyclopedias we call Life. 
 
-Strong Sad</blockquote>
<ul><li>
Now it says:
<blockquote>Strong Sad is no longer accepting emails because you people kept signing me up for "natural male enhancers." That, and the death threats weren't very cool either. 
 
Leemee 'lone! 
 
Strong Sad 
 
[[HR:sadjournal/|www.homestarrunner.com/sadjournal/]]
</blockquote>
</li></ul></li><li>
This was considered the first Easter egg in an email. The toon linked to from the email, "[[The Secrets That I Keep]]", is now available via [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
</li></ul>

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time that Strong Bad pronounces a state's abbreviation as if it were just a word.
*This is the first time Strong Sad is referred to as Strong Bad's little brother. (For the record, [[Strong Mad]] is the eldest sibling, Strong Bad is the middle one, and Strong Sad is the youngest.)
*This is Strong Sad's first appearance in a Strong Bad Email.
*This is the first time Strong Bad makes noise with his computer chair. The sound, however, is not [[The Geddup Noise]].
*This is the first email with an Easter Egg ever made.

===Remarks===
*It is a physical impossibility to tear paper as Strong Sad did with the card to Anthony with one side remaining upright.

===Real-World References===
*The design of the [[School Paste|paste container]] is similar to the [http://www.elmers.com/product/product_page.asp?pCode=E505A one] manufactured by [http://www.elmers.com/about/index.asp Elmer's Products Inc.]
*Strong Bad's intro song is most likely a reference to the children's rhyme, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!"
*The posters on Strong Sad's wall are of The Cure's ''[[Wikipedia:Boys Don't Cry (album)|Boy's Don't Cry]]'' and the 1987 film ''[[IMDB:tt0094006|Some Kind of Wonderful]]''.

== DVD Version ==
*If you click on the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Tandy 400's screen at the end of the email, it takes you to Strong Sad's shoebox full of childhood memories.
**This time, instead of being able to select which items you want to look at, it goes through each in turn. In addition, the card Strong Bad gave Strong Sad is read out loud by a young Strong Bad.
*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]])

'''MIKE:''' Back in the days when you could see his mouth in the reflection.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, what a dumb idea that was. Though I don't know, sometimes I think doing his mouth was less work—

'''MIKE:''' Well, if you don't move his head

'''MATT:''' Don't move his head, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Well, when we used to barely move his head, it was fine, but now his head's constantly waggin' around.

'''MATT:''' That's my fault. So, there's some

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' Look at his head! Strong Bad's head, man—

'''MIKE:''' Everyone's looking a little rough right here!

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' I don't know... Strong Sad's..

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good sound effect.

'''MATT:''' Um... So what else? Depressio!

'''MIKE:''' There was the Some Kind of Wonderful—oh yes, Depressio. It used to be, if you emailed that email, it sent you a return email with the first Easter egg.

'''MATT:''' Hurry up and finish!

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' That was the first Easter egg ever!

'''MATT:''' ''{quickly speaking gibberish}''

Marshie

PurpleKoopa — Mon, 22 May 2006 06:13:37 GMT

PurpleKoopa: /* Filmography */ We already gots candy product in the "Complete Filmography"

[[Image:meet marshie screenshot.png|thumb|"Don'tcha like me?"]]
[[Image:TMBG Marshie closeup 20040925.jpg|thumb|Appearing in puppet-form along with Homestar and [[They Might Be Giants]] in their [[TMBG Concert - 25 Sep 2004 | September 25, 2004 concert]] in [[Wikipedia:Atlanta,_Georgia|Atlanta, Ga]]. (HS & TMBG not shown)]]
[[Image:MarshieGaseousVapor.PNG|thumb|"You can't destroy me!"]]
'''Marshie''' (capital M, and then "arshie", as he would put it) is the genuinely alarming mascot for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. He serves as a caustic and slightly absurd satire of any number of mascots hawking products to children.

Marshie has no known relationships with any H*R characters, save [[Homestar Runner]], who "hates that freakin' marshmallow," probably because Marshie [[Meet Marshie|took his job as Fluffy Puff pitchman]].

Marshie is infamously - and intentionally - creepy. His commercials have featured non-sequitur rantings, disturbing close-ups, inappropriate sound effects, faintly desperate pleas and even a behind-the-scenes nervous breakdown. He also tends to announce his appearances by uttering hackneyed slang phrases such as " 'Sup fools!" and "Oh ''snap''!" in a heavy-handed attempt to convince kids to like him. However, this technique is essentially nullified by Marshie's innate creepiness, leaving the acceptance he seeks safely out of reach.

The use of [[Nibbles]] as a mascot in [[bottom 10]] may be evidence for Marshie's increasing unsuitability as a mascot, or at least in specifically promoting Fluffy Puff's bite-sized Nibblers product.

Beyond his creepy demeanor, it is insinuated that Marshie is not simply disturbing but actually evil. He is named as a "bad guy" in the song "[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]," a vaporized version of Marshie in [[candy product]] cheerily warns that "you can't destroy me!"

Marshie shares a resemblance to both the [[Wikipedia:Image:Hardees.png|Carl's Jr./Hardee's star]] and the characters on the [http://www.goldenfluff.com/marsh.htm Elyon kosher marshmallows] bag.

According to [[Cheat Commandos...O's]], Marshie is a "Sear-G-Gent".

{{aboutcharacter}} {{for|Flash cartoon|Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)}}

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name possibly [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|Michael]] or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his website namesake, but he probably doesn't realize it. Ever the butt of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a clean heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. He's not completely stupid, though, and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurrences are few and far between. You can never be quite sure whether or not he and [[Marzipan]] are going out, but he sure seems to think they are. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the inactive [[Homestarmy]], while his best friend remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some speech impediments (as he says, he has "twouble with his aw's"), and appears to have short-term memory problems, as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue pot]]. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like "Hi-Ya!", "Highball!", and "Ah-tpoo!".

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with Strong Bad and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in email 124, [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

At present, Homestar works at an unnamed tech company with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He is also the host of an obscure game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in [[Dangeresque]], sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], and "[[montage|Party Party Party]]", revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. He also seems to really like bread, as seen in [[origins]] and [[disconnected]]. Other favoured foods are marshmellows, melonade, and apparently sour cream. His most prized posession is his propellor-cap.

== Homestar's eyes ==
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|Cartoon straight-on]]
*Homestar's eyes are quite strange. There are many theories about how they work:
**Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]] and the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
***It's possible that his eyes are merely on the front of his head, but we usually just get a side profile to make it appear that he's not looking directly at the camera. This, along with the star on his shirt being slightly off to one side, is similar to the rules of proportion and line of sight first develoved in Baroque art. This could also explain why his eyes appear to "move" in the previous theory: the angle of his face that we view changes, so the distance between his eyes change based on our viewpoint, rather than his eyes actually physically moving. (Front views have rarely been used outside of [[Old Intro 2]], possibly because his off-to-one-side profile appears to be more funny).
****NOTE: If anyone can word the above theory better, please do so.

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.
{{clear}}

== Homestar's Shirt ==

His shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. The star can be removed, but Homestar wears it as a mark of pride. Other than his propeller cap, it appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. It is said in [[long pants]] that he doesn't have shoes but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. He wore a gray version of his shirt (still with a star) in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

==Homestar & Marzipan==

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

:''Main article: [[Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship]]''
Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best and has deteriorated as the episodes progress. Though Homestar insults her, often without meaning it, and Marzipan breaks up with him frequently, they seem to patch things up in between. Homestar's idiocy seems to be charmed as well as charming, as evidenced by his lucky gift of wire cutters in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. It is unclear how their relationship started, but they do seem to care about each other, if only a little bit.

Homestar even appears to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" was tenuous, though, as he voiced her flirting with other men (and The Cheat).

Talk:Lack of Visible Arms

PurpleKoopa — Sun, 02 Apr 2006 21:58:54 GMT

PurpleKoopa: /* They're not the only ones... */

The [[King of Town]] also doesn't appear to have any visible arms (nor does the Prince of Town in [[flashback]]), but no direct reference is made to this.

== He just gave me the bird! ==

:''Homestar flips Strong Bad off, and Strong Bad reacts as if he can see it.''

I think the joke in [[the bird]] was that Homestar "flips off" Strong Bad by responding "right back at you" to Strong Bad's Single Deuce, as if ''he didn't even need to'' flip a hand. Understand? --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 22:31, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:...Actually, you're right, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Yeah, I was about to make that very same comment before I saw I was beaten to it. If not totally removed, I think the entry should be heavily reworded. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:42, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::Nah, it's supposed to be taken straightforward; Homestar ''really'' flips him the bird. If somebody merely ''told me'' they were flipping me off, I don't think I would take it as badly as Strong Bad does. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:08, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I had always seen it as a real, invisible one rather than "it's the thought that counts." I'm not arguing definitely against that. ''But'' a little bit of humor in the whole email comes from the fact that ''none'' of the flip-offs are visible, since even the characters with visible hands lack independent finger movement. Strong Bad's and Pom Pom's "deuces" are mere hand movements, yet all the characters seem to be perceiving the gesture. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:48, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::::All we know for certain is that Homestar says "right back atcha," which (since it's Homestar) probably means that he either didn't see or didn't understand the gesture. (I mean two different things by that: "didn't see" would be due to the boxing gloves; "didn't understand" would be due to him being Homestar.) We do not know that Homestar really made any "hand gestures" at all, invisible hands or no; he probably just thought Strong Bad was waving, hence the "right back atcha." Since the joke works whether Homestar is actually making an invisible hand gesture or not, time to apply Occham's (sp?) Razor. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::::PS. Abdi makes a good point. The only main characters who could make a visible "bird" would be Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Poopsmith, none of whom appeared in that email.
::::Exactly! Homestar thought Strong Bad was waving! I get it now! As for Strong Bad taking it so bad, I think that's part of the joke: He can dish it out, but he can't take it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:33, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::Though note that [[Strong Mad]] would be the only one who could do it properly, as he has five fingers, while [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Poopsmith]] have four.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:55, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::Dot com is right: It is clear that Homestar's gesture or lack thereof was taken by Strong Bad as an actual one-fingered salute. We should take it just as seriously as we take Strong Bad and Pom Pom's deuces. Yes, he may have thought Strong Bad was just "waving", but if he did, it appears that he "waved" back, and therefore, for all practical purposes, Homestar did in fact flip Strong Bad off. I hope that wasn't ridiculouly confusing; I feel like I'm rambling. If it doesn't make sense, let me know; I'll try to clarify. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 07:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::The quotation marks on waving seem to convey it just right. Couldn't have said it better myself (and I tried to above). {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 18:24, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I really think you guys are overanalyzing this. The joke was that you can't see either Strong Bad or Pom Pom's gestures - just the suggestion of them given the context. The joke is continued when Strong Bad "flips off" Homestar, and Homestar just reflects it right back. Given the lack of visible evidence, but also given Strong Bad's responses to both Pom Pom ("Pom Pom prefers the single deuce") and Homestar ("He just gave me the bird!"), I think it's safe to assume that the gesture (visible only to Strong Bad) was repeated both times. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 19:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:I've always perceived this as exactly how the current wording explains it. Strong Bad flips Homestar off, so Homestar responds by flipping Strong Bad off, and Strong Bad reacts as if he can see it. It doesn't need any more explanation than that. In fact, it's funny precisely because it's ambiguous. Let's not squeeze the poop out of the fly here. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:04, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::I'm willing to believe that Homestar doesn't actually understand the gesture - he's pretty dim. Say you're from another country, and you've never seen or heard of the middle-finger gesture before. Someone does it to you, and you might interpret it as a friendly gesture and do it right back to them. Of course, the first person might then be offended by it. Since Homestar generally tends to have memory lapses and is otherwise just a dim-witted fellow to begin with, I think it's perfectly reasonable to interpret this as him seeing the flip-off and just not understanding it. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::As my mother always said: It's the thought that counts. It doesn't metter if they actualy did it or not. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:11, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:::I think the joke here is the ambiguity. Is Homestar wittily flashing the bird back, or does he not realize the back of String Bad's boxing glove is actually the finger, making his response a wave? That's what puts the hummor in the situation. I don't think we can take SB's reply as evidence to support either side. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:14, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Hence the original statement: Strong Bad reacts as though he can see (the gesture). - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:19, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Proposed Revision: ''"When Strong Bad flips off Homestar, Homestar apparently returns the gesture, causing Strong Bad's feelings to be hurt."'' - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::Meh, the feelings hurt part is not that relevant. The key is that Strong Bad says, "He just gave me the bird," something someone wouldn't be expected to say if they hadn't actually been flipped off. This whole page is based on trying to interpret something that doesn't make sense in the real world. Its purpose is to highlight the ambiguity where we find it. I think there's enough support for including the instance found in [[the bird]] to put it back on the page, but I suggest my own revision: ''Strong Bad flips Homestar off, and after Homestar replies "Right back atcha," Strong Bad exclaims, "He just gave me the bird!"'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:53, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Which do you think we should use for this article's picture? I'm for Homestar's "arms" from [[fingers]].-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}

== Page Title ==
Invisible Arms? I don't think that Homestar, Marzi & KOT have arms at all. I think it's some kind of force field or something. I mean, the fact about time capsule (Homestar holding three things at once) was already declined on STUFF because the majority of people here think it's not clear that Homestar has arms as such. Can we get a better name for this page? And perhaps remove that dubious fact? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 23:06, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:How about "Ambiguious Arms" or simply "Arms"? {{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I don't like just "arms" because this page is actually about ''lack of'' arms. Say, how about "Lack of Arms" ;) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 23:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::"Lack of Arms" has the same problem that "Invisible Arms" has. Namely, it assumes as fact one of the possible explanations for the situation. (I admit I chose "Invisible Arms" because that's the camp I'm in. Is there something (besides just "Arms") that is more neutral?) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:10, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Well, I did propose Ambiguous Arms earlier... - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

::::::Yes, the alliteration kind of threw me off, too. *looks up synonyms* "ambiguous, cryptic, dark, darkling, deep, enigmatic (also enigmatical), equivocal, inscrutable, murky, mysterious, mystic, nebulous, occult." Not a good list. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

:Looking at my most recent list, I like "No Visible Arms." It gets the point across, it's easy to remember, and it works for both completely missing arms and arms that are just invisible.

::::::::::I emphatically agree that a negative statement about visible arms is the way to go (it makes no statement about invisible or none), and I enthusiastically agree with H.

== Homestar's perception ==
Note that just because clearly Strong Bad and Strong Mad are of the opinion he doesn't have arms doesn't prove it for sure; that's ''their'' opinion. Homestar seems to think he does. This could be Homestar being delusional, or one could argue that he ought to know best. Seems to me this is similar to the pants issue—he maintains he's wearing pants although others disagree. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:30, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== Sarcasm? ==

When Strong Bad notes that Marzipan has "really nice hands" in the Yellow Dello commentary, I think it's possible that he was being sarcastic. His tone (notice his emphasis on the word "hands"), combined with the fact that he seems to have a pretty good handle on just who has arms in Free Country U.S.A, indicates that he may have been making a joke. Of course, that doesn't mean Homestar's agreement wasn't completely earnest... [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 00:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== Another character with no visible arms ==

[[The Wheelchair]] is seen lifting the lid to his pot of burled holiday cabbage in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. Any significance? - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 21:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
:Sure, add it on. He has definitely got no arms. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

::::::Nevermind. I didn't do any fact checking. I am probably just going crazy...again. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 23:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

== Not quite so visible ==

Be it in another page or this page, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fall_Float_Parade&diff=206146&oldid=206084 this] might be a good idea! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
:Hey, we added the bit about Strong Bad "flicking" Strong Sad's "ears" to the Type-With-Boxing-Gloves page... I see nothing wrong with this. And the coach must have some sort of mouth, as we've seen him blow a whistle AND eat... But it might just be an invisible one. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== No telekinetic abilities. Just arms. ==

This is my opinion on it, taken from the Homestar talk page:

If you want something close to proof, look at [[the bird]]. But really, you're just analyzing it too hard. Look at his eyes on the picture in the upper left. They're clearly on the front of his head, with him facing diagonally. Notice that you can see the underside of the hat? Notice the mouth is seen from a diagonal angle? It's like an Egyptian painting. Yes, the puppet has the eyes on the side, but can't you tell that's just to make it work in real life? It's a cartoon, it's like Egyptian paintings, it doesn't have to be exactly like that in real life. There is no real life, in fact, so reality is simply what the creators intended. How can he flip Strong Bad the bird with telepathic abilities? It's like Pom-Pom's voice, they can understand it but we can't. The arms exist but we can't see them. His eyes are just eyes. </rant> [[User:Uh...Cwapface|Uh...Cwapface]] 03:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Ummm..I totally forgot what I wrote on the other page so I'm just gonna wing it- It's just one of those many questions everyone has for TBC, but they have no answer for. Like "How come Marzipan has no legs" or "Why does Bubs' mouth not move when he talks or just barely does"? It's one of those things the world may never know.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:53, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

* If [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] had arms, there would be holes in his shirt/skirt for them to come out of. I think this decisively shows that he must be telekinetic.

*How does Strong Bad type with boxing gloves on? --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 23:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

* Sorry to post anonymously, but I haven't created an account here yet. I think that the Brothers Chaps may have finally answered the arms vs. telekinesis question with the recent Strong Bad E-mail lady fan. Since Homestar's workout clothes include a leotard/onesie thing, the shoulder straps would fall if he didn't have *something* holding them up.

**To add to that (still anonymous diffrent poster) in the same E-mail Strong Bad slaps the scoisors out of Marzipan's hands, or the lack thereof. This implys that people with arms can interact with those without, giving play to the "invisble arms" argument.

== They're not the only ones... ==

I happen to know, and I would really appreciate if no one asked me why I know, that the characters from [[Wikipedia:Veggie Tales|Veggie Tales]] also don't have arms, but can pick stuff up. Who came first, anyways?--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 23:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

== Should knowledge base be capitalized? ==

I just noticed knowledge base was hyphenated in the welcome line and fixed that, but I also noticed it's capitalized in the browse box.

My inclination would be to uncapitalize it, but what do you think? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 02:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Image:comma_discovery.jpg&curid=2742&diff=290324&oldid=290316 This edit] just about takes the cake. I have absolutely no idea what [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] changed because I can't ''see'' it. The metadata is in the way. 1024x768 resolution tabs bar open in SeaMonkey and Modern Pinball skin applied. Any way we could fix this, or alternatively not display the metadata? I'm all for having to scroll left and right if it comes to that. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 05:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:This appears to be fixed in the next version of MediaWiki, or at the very least, with Wikipedia's current styling of the metadata. We should look into the difference between how we currently style it and how they do. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

::You can see what they said by scrolling over the text and copying it to notepad. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Perhaps just putting <code>clear:both</code> under <code>table.diff</code> in [[Mediawiki:Monobook.css]] would do the trick?

:::::Sorry to "butt" in, but wouldn't it perhaps be more prudent to simply prevent the metadata from appearing at all? Perhaps we have no choice but to have it appear.

== Left-handedness ==

Homestar plays lute and bass left-handed. What's Her Face also plays bass left-handed. Gregor is left-handed in "Everyone is Different". Notable? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

:Hmmm... Homestar doesn't exactly even [[Lack of Visible Arms|have arms]] on the conventional sense. But yeah, interesting. As a side note, most Muppets are left handed. The puppeteer uses his right hand to operate the head while operating the arm rod with his left hand. But that doesn't really relate to anything here, just a comment about the prominence of left handed characters in general. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

::I think that Homestar and What's Her Face playing left-handed is just a minor mistake overlooked by TBC. And by the way, a better place for this kind of discussion is [[Category talk:Running Gags]] or [[Category talk:Inside Jokes]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

::What is the point of viewing recent changes in RSS? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 17:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
:::That's a good question. I personally have never found it useful. It's probably used less for human consumption and more for other things like feeding recent changes to a maintenance bot, for instance, or having them show up in real time in a chat room. RSS is just a nice way of packaging the recent changes for use elsewhere. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

== Watchlist ==

This is kinda wierd, but I'm sure somebody has an explanation; 
 
I just went in to edit the items on my watchlist, and I found 2 pages listed that not only don't exist, but I did not put on my watchlist:

* Briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs, Wayne Rooney thinks you're all freaking sick oddballs who ********** over George W. Bush in his underwear, plus $20,000
* Willy on Wheels on Wheels, on wheels

The second one thinks that this is just a type of vandalism. Is there any way to protect against it? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 03:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

:What must have heppened: some vandal moved a page you were watching to that name. Then it was deleted and recreated for any of a number of reasons. There's no one hacking into your Watchlist, rest assured - the hacking was done to the page you had set to watch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::Right. If you're watching "Page A" and it gets moved to "Page B", then now you're automatically watching both the old name "Page A" and the new name "Page B". If a vandal moves "Page A" to "Page A ON WHEELS", you end up watching both of those pages too. Even after the visible damage is reverted and the extra page is deleted, "Page A ON WHEELS" will still show up in your full watchlist as a red link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::: Thanks. It turns off both were moves of this page itself. In the future, I'll just delete these links. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 03:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Why can't I edit the main page? ==

Well anyway, the "Bear Holding a Shark T-Shirt" link needs to be change on account of the reorganized store section. Could someone please change the link to "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Store_T-Shirts#tshirt_bear-shark" Thanks! [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 06:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
:Done. BTW, when you need to change something in the "What's new" section of the Main Page, you actually need to edit [[Template:whatsnew]]. That's where the text in that part of the page is. You can't edit the Main Page because it's protected so that only sysops can edit it. We do this to prevent vandalism on the Main Page, our most visible page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for the help and info. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 07:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::::Perhaps a little inconspicuous edit link in the what's new template wouldn't go astray? I've seen a few wikis where the main page is full of templates, and they often have an edit link on each one... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

== Interesting...What Does this Mean? ==

Last night, I way playing the Dancing Bubs game on H*R. Today I went on, and two of the songs weren't working. I checked, and the [[Secret_Pages#Music|swf files of the music]] had been deleted. Do you think that this could mean anything? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 15:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, [[Secret Pages]] tend to get low bandwidth and frequently appear to be deleted when they're not. For some reason, some of the songs in Dancin' Bubs are included in that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Those two songs seem to be 404 on occasion... without knowing technical details of TBC's hosting setup, it's difficult to know why. Though if I had to guess, I'd say that they might have two servers that they serve the files from, and the songs are missing on one... this could also explain why the <code>.exe</code> versions of [[take-a-break.exe]] and the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|screensavers]] don't always work, one of the servers could be configured differently to the other for <code>.exe</code> files.

Sorry to everyone for the lack of notice, but MediaWiki was getting so unweildy we decided to just go through with the regrade before really preparing the community. The admins and sysops have been discussing this for a few months in Da Basement (it's all been archived by now, but you'll find it there if you look). We decided to do this now for three reasons: (1) MediaWiki has way too many SQL tables. That was creating a lot of unnecessary overhead and it was really starting to tax the server. 'Tavi has a smaller database, so it should work better. (2) MediaWiki is really designed for multi-server load balancing systems like Wikipedia. After using it for over a year now we've become painfully aware just how kludgy MediaWiki is when it's running on a single server like ours. 'Tavi should be able to handle our single-server system much better. (3) Surprisingly, MediaWiki had no optimization of it's X32 page caching, which was really starting to eat up a lot of space on our server. 'Tavi recently rolled out better X45 page caching that looks to revolutionize the wiki market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other wikis switch to 'Tavi now that 'Tavi has stepped it up a notch. Again, sorry for the short notice, but we felt we had to do it now before MediaWiki crashed the server and caused unrecoverable data loss. If you have any more specific questions about the regrade, feel free to ask them here or on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]]. Cheers! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 05:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Mmm, we can't help you. This is between you and Ekul. If you are able to contact him privately, that would be preferrable. Or, you should just serve the block without begging for parole. It would build character. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 18:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I can't email him. Did you tell him I was sorry? Please go easy on me. It's April Fools' Day.

Please tell me this change away from MediaWiki is an April Fools Day joke. Please. I am like ... dependent on the way the hrwiki.org front page was laid out, with the latest updates on the right side ... that was basically the main reason I used this site.

Man, I was hoping for something really good. This April Fool's wasn't all that funny, and it simply made an ugly mess of the Main Pages. I just hope that this just means that email 150 is that much better! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Dangeresque (film series)

PurpleKoopa — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 01:01:08 GMT

PurpleKoopa: /* Cast */

[[Image:sbemail80.png|thumb|Dangeresque and Renaldo]]

{{about|film series}} {{forcharacter|Dangeresque (character)}} {{for|[[Strong Bad Email]]s|stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3}} {{for|karaoke video from the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD|Dangeresque (karaoke)}}

'''Dangeresque''' is a trilogy of homemade movies made by Strong Bad. It originates in the email "stunt double", where Strong Bad was asked if he did all his own stunts. He says he does, and shows his new film: "Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1" as proof.

The Dangeresque films are shot with The Cheat's video camera, then very sloppily edited together. Strong Bad plays Dangeresque, a wisecracking action hero who fights both "the law and the crime" with the help of Renaldo, played by Coach Z. The other main characters play bit parts in the films, and Strong Sad is not-so-subtly edited in as a stunt double for any character that might get hit in the head or take a painful fall, despite Strong Bad's claims that he does the stunts himself. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the ladies smile.

==Known Films==
[[Image:Dangeresque PEOI.png|thumb|right|"So I'm gonna have to—"]]

*'''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too? — Not in 3D'''
:Featured in [[dangeresque 3]]
*'''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1'''
:Featured in [[stunt double]]
*'''Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective — in 3D!'''
:Mentioned in [[stunt double]] but not made yet, and likely will not be made at all.
*'''Dangeresque: Put Em on Ice!'''
:Featured in [[rock opera]] (Easter egg)

==Cast==
*[[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] – [[Strong Bad]]
*[[Renaldo]] – [[Coach Z]]
*[[Cutesy Buttons]] – [[Marzipan]]
*[[Unnamed Bad Guy]] – [[Bubs]]
*[[Dangeresque Too]] – [[Homestar Runner]]
*[[Perducci]] – [[The King of Town]]
*[[Istanbul]] – [[The Cheat]]
*[[Hot Tub]] – [[Strong Sad]] (known as "[[Dump|El Dumpo]]")
*[[Killingyouguy]] – [[Strong Mad]]

==Music==
Since nothing says vintage cop shows like a funky groove, Dangeresque employs a Shaft-style anthem in "[[The theme from DANGERESQUE II: This time, it's not Dangeresque I|The Theme from Dangeresque II]]." The end credits of Dangeresque 1 have a softer, 1980s buddy movie feel with "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]."

==Fun Facts==

*Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]. Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see [[suntan]]).
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] had originally named the series [[stunt_double#Commentary_Transcript|Danger Man]]. However, they changed the name to Dangeresque after learning that the name had already been used as the title of the [[IMDB:tt0053496|1960's prelude]] to classic British Television series [[Wikipedia: The Prisoner|The Prisoner]], starring [[IMDB:nm0001526|Patrick McGoohan]].
*Dangeresque is probably based on the attraction [http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/attractionDetail?id=SoundsDangerousStarringDrewCareyAttractionPage&bhcp=1 Sounds Dangerous starring Drew Carey] at Disney World's MGM studios. In Sounds Dangerous, [[Wikipedia: Drew Carey|Drew Carey ]] portrays an undercover cop, and faces a villain named Renoldi.

Dangeresque Too

PurpleKoopa — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 01:00:06 GMT

PurpleKoopa: Dangeresque too moved to Dangeresque Too

[[Image:dangeresquetoo.PNG|thumb|"The name's Dangeresque. Nice to meet ya."]]

'''Dangeresque Too''' is another private eye from the [[Dangeresque]] universe played by [[Homestar Runner]]. Confusingly enough, this character is ''also'' named Dangeresque. He wears [[Homestar's Shades|shades]], like the other [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]], and appears in ''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too?''. In the movie he is forced to work with Dangeresque against his will to thwart [[Perducci]] and his evil henchman [[Killingyouguy]]. Dangeresque Too defeats Killingyouguy with a well-placed "The pipes are broken!!" attack; clearly a parody on Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku (Hurricane Kick) attack from the [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter (series)|Street Fighters]] game series. Dangeresque and Dangeresque too set aside their rival differences and eventually become friends and partners.

*In the old version, on the image with Bubs, the page URL is hs1x, whereas the others are hs1, hs2, hs3, etc. The Brothers Chaps may have forgotten to put it in, which is why it didn't follow the order, and clicking 'back' from hs14 took you to hs13 rather than hs1x, as it should have. This has since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006.
*In the old version there were buttons for 'next' on the last image, and 'back' on the first image. Those would take you to cartoons.html, which was [[404'd]]. This has also since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006.

'''Running Time:''' 1:50

==Transcript==

''{Mike and Matt Chapman are sitting in their chairs as in most of the bonus features. Matt takes a drink from a water bottle and then smacks his lips.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Ahhhh...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Refreshing?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yes. You know what else is refreshing? ''{points toward the camera}'' This next bonus feature.

''{Mike takes a drink from another water bottle. Then, the screen cuts to a heavily contrasted black-and-white scene. Strong Bad is walking through rain, and Homestar appears from the other side walking in the other direction. Through the rest of the feature, Mike and Matt narrate.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What's this style, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's a little black-and-white, uh, film noir style.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Dad— our dad would like that.

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar and Strong Bad.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. High contrast, rain... I think that's all you need, right?

''{Cut to a scene of Homestar running in the rain, still in "film noir" style.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. The streets of Vienna.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{snickering}'' Oh.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Perhaps?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' A thin man?

''{Cut to a scene where Homestar, Strong Bad, and Strong Mad are again walking toward the center of the screen. Now, the style is much brighter, with solid colors and no outlines.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' The third man?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughing}'' The third man.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What's that style? It's the Crunchberries style.

''{Cut to a scene of all the main characters except Homsar in the "Crunchberries" style.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. Flat, kinda cartoony.

''{Cut to a scene of Homestar running across The Field in the same style.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Uh, really. More than before?

''{Cut to a scene of seven characters on a roller coaster, still in the flat cartoony style. Homestar and Marzipan are in the first car, Pom Pom is alone in the second car, Strong Bad and The Poopsmith are in the third car, and Strong Sad and Coach Z are in the last.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Uh, that's not the right word.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Uh, now what's this?

''{Cut back a bit to show that the roller coaster is in the shape of the word "bubs".}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This is the Bubs roller coaster! You know that!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Wow. What are they doing on there, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' They're going, like...

''{Cut to a closeup of the roller coaster. They go over a hill.}''

'''MATT and MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{as if they're on the roller coaster; Matt imitates several characters in the process}'' Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Ooooooooh! Whooooooa! Hey!

''{Cut to another roller coaster scene.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{as Strong Bad}'' Coca-cola.

''{Cut to a scene that looks like an Etch-a-Sketch, with Homestar walking across it.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Here's a little Etch-a-Sketch action.

''{Homestar reaches the edge of the Etch-a-Sketch, walks off of it, and reappears on the other side.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What were you gonna do with this, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Well, you know, I was just messin' around. I used to enjoy just... doin' stuff. ''{laughs}'' Not so much any more.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' You don't enjoy it any more, do you?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' No. I don't experiment with different graphical styles like I used to.

''{Cut to a needlepoint picture of Strong Bad, where Homestar walks up and moves his lips as though speaking.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ... A little needlepoint action...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I like that a lot. What—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This came in the, uh...

''{Cut to The Field, which looks normal, but a crude Homestar made out of Legos walks on.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What's that texture in the background? Was that a paper towel? ''{Imitating a robotic walking noise}'' Eee! Oh!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Imitating the same noise}'' Eee! Oh! Eee! Oh!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{as Homestar}'' I am walk around block!

''{Cut to Strong Sad at a slide projector. Homestar, Marzipan, and Coach Z are seated in front of him, watching it. A digital readout that says "9:25" is on the slide.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Here's a vacation slide show of Strong Sad's that we never did.

''{The slide switches to Litigation Jackson.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What do you— there, that looks like Litigation Jackson!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, and a gorilla...

''{As he says this, the slide switches to a gorilla.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{as Strong Sad}'' Oh, he had a high forehead.

''{The slide switches to a Thanksgiving feast, where Perry of Limozeen is standing nearby.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{still as Strong Sad}'' And there's a paper turkey head on that pineapple.

''{Another switch, to another scene of Litigation Jackson.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' These are some crazy photos, Mike.

''{Another switch, to a digital readout of "9:26".}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' And now it's nine twenty-six.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Time to go.

== Easter Eggs ==
*The dialogue can be heard in a bad British accent by switching your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

''{The opening with Matt and Mike is identical to the normal version. Over the film noir scene...}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' All right, what've we got here, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Well, we've got a little black-and-white action on this one, uh, film nwaaa, I believe the Frenchies, the frikkin' Frenchies call it.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Right, right. It looks real nice. It got harsh...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Running...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ... Harsh shadows, there.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' High contrast.

''{The flat cartoony style begins.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Right.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' We've got, uh... some berries... have grown... on the trees.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Field's gone stripey, it looks like a watermelon.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's been mowed. Freshly mowed.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' The whole thing...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Freshly mown.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh, the gra—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Mowed or mown?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ... the grass.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' And we've got a little roller-coaster action, like at, uh, cri-cri-cri-cri-critty park.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh right! Critty—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' We call 'em critty parks here on my patch of the pond.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Critty— ''{laughs}'' Ah, 'sright?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Aaaaaaah! Blimeeeeeeey! Aaah, crikey!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' They must be, uh...

''{The Etch-a-Sketch scene starts.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This is a teletron. Ah, it's a little baby techa-teletron! Nah, it's an Etch-a-Sketch. They call 'em, uh, Higher-Arts-a-Sketch...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Really. I don't know. I don't know if that's true.

''{The needlepoint scene begins.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's true. Ah, it's like me mum used to knit in the...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Ah, needlepoint!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' A stich-a-ma-coo-roo!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Back when we lived in...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Stitch-a-ma-roo!

''{Lego Homestar appears.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Uh, (?)!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{imitating a robotic noise as in the regular audio}'' Dang! Gron! Dang! Gron!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh, now that's... that bloke...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Look at that bloody bloke!

''{The slide show scene begins.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Ah, look, he's been on holiday!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Oh! Uh, what did he do on holiday? It's like we looked at an alarm clock!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, it's some type of digital mobile.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, who's that— who's that fella—

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Call— hey, call me on my mobile, why don't you?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Look at this! What is that celebration they've got there with turkeys and... fruit...?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Ah, it's Thanksgiving, they call it.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Thanks... what are they giving thanks for?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh, thanks for nothing.

Super Kingio Bros.

PurpleKoopa — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 01:36:23 GMT

PurpleKoopa: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:King_Brothers_Game.PNG|thumb|Jump, King of Town, jump!]]

'''Super Kingio Brothers''' is a secret game, found after clicking [[The King of Town]] after [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] is over. It is impossible to beat. The King of Town represents [[Wikipedia:Mario|Mario]]. He can barely move, much less jump over the [[Wikipedia:Goomba|Goomba]] that eventually kills him.

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*The King of Town starts out with three lives, yet dying once ends the game.
*On the Flash file, right-clicking and selecting "Play" will cause the Goomba to stop moving and allowing The King of Town to move to the end of the screen (or as far as the Goomba is).
*The King of Town says "my life is a joke" after he sings the game over song.
If you right-click on the goomba, and un-select play, the goomba stops moving.
=== Glitches ===
*Pressing "J" any time while the black level screens are shown causes The King of Town to grunt (the same grunt used when he jumps).
*The entire screen appears to be an invisible Flash button, commonly used for Easter eggs, but nothing happens when you click.

===Real-World References===
*This is based almost exactly on the very beginning of the first level of [[Wikipedia:Super_Mario_Bros.|Super Mario Bros]], the exception being the King's starting position, which is slightly further forward than Mario's.
**The King of Town's clothes, hat, nose and mustache are near-identical to Mario's.
**The music is The King of Town "singing" the beginning of the classic Mario theme, the death sound, and the game over song.
**The only thing missing from the display is the coin counter, which should be in the gap between the "Score" and the "World" indicator. In Super Mario Bros., collecting one hundred coins resulted in a 1-up, or extra life. Since the KOT can't collect any, it's probably just as well that it's missing.
**The timer always displays a time of 000. In a real game of Super Mario Bros., this would mean you've run out of time on a particular level and will lose a life.

===Fast Foward===

*This game is featured in several questions on the [[FAQ#Video_Games_of_Distinction|FAQ]].

Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References

PurpleKoopa — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 01:27:26 GMT

PurpleKoopa: /* Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong Country */

There are dozens of video game references in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

==General==
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Negatory is [[Wikipedia:Citizens%27_band_radio|Citizens' Band Radio]] (CB) [http://www.cbgazette.com/slang.html slang] for no or negative.
*[http://www.protekdevices.com/aboutProtek00.htm Protek] is a Tempe, AZ based company specializing in Transient Voltage Suppression products. This may explain why the Protek enemy is an electric outlet.
*Stratosfear is the name of albums by both The Unisex and Tangerine Dream, and is a pun relating to the [[Wikipedia:Stratosphere|stratosphere]].

== [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]] ==
*The game controller Stinkoman is holding in the cutscene for level 5.1 bears a striking resemblance to the redesigned NES controller (AKA the dogbone controller).
* The square areas around Stinkoman's face as it fades in on the intro screen are a reference to the method many NES games used to fade large images and backgrounds. Some games exhibited similar color artifacts and glitches primarily due to the NES's small color palette.

== [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man series]] ==

=== Graphics ===
* The sprites for Stinkoman and the enemies Poorbt and Astromund are patterned after sprites in the ''Mega Man'' games for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
** Additionally, the sprites for the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] are taken directly from ''Mega Man''.
** It is likely that these sprites are based after the 16-bit Megaman sprites from [[Wikipedia: Mega Man: The Wily Wars|Wily Wars]].
* When shooting at enemies, you are limited to three projectiles on screen at a time. This is a direct reference to the original ''Mega Man'' series, where the Mega Buster could only fire up to three shots at a time. Older video games often limited the number of sprites on the screen to keep the game from slowing down or flickering.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman in the game's box art is likely a reference to the first two ''Mega Man'' games. The box art for the American versions of those games featured a similarly muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game.
** This practice of creating conflicting box art for American video games was a common practice until around the time the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] was released.

=== Sounds and Music ===
* The sound effects for text appearing in the cinematics are taken from ''Mega Man'' for the NES.
* The chime sound in the intro screen and main menu is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X|Mega Man X]]'' for the SNES.
* Most of the music in Stinkoman 20X6 is patterned after the music from the entire ''Mega Man'' series.
** Technically, the music is most like the music from the SNES line of ''Mega Man'' games, as it is more complex and synthetic than the music that the 8-bit NES is capable of producing.

=== Characters ===
* In the attract screen, Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan flash onto the screen in a similar fashion to the character introduction in the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man: The Power Battle|Mega Man: The Power Battle]]'' (featuring Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass).
** A similar character introduction is featured in the [[Wikipedia:Sonic Advance|Sonic Advance]] series for the [[Wikipedia:GameBoy Advance|Game Boy Advance]].
* The intro to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]] is a parody of Mega Man's limited jumping ability.
* Stinkoman taking the large gray fist as a "new powerup" in Level 3 is a reference to Mega Man's ability to take on the powers of defeated bosses.
** Internally, Stinkoman with the fist is called "Fistman", a reference to the naming scheme of most bosses in ''Mega Man''.
* Stinkoman fights like Mega Man X by shooting at enemies while 1-Up fights like [[Wikipedia:Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] with acrobatic melee attacks.

=== [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|Enemies and Hazards]] ===
* '''Stobat''' (first seen in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|Level 2]]) is similar to a chicken robot in ''Mega Man 5''.
* '''Old Sage''' is similar to the instant-death spikes that are usually placed under moving platforms in various ''Mega Man'' levels.
* The '''trap-door platforms''' refer to the first ''Mega Man'' game, in which similar platforms are found in Guts Man's stage.
* '''Greggo''' is similar to Metall (also known as Mettaur, Metool, Met, or Hard Hat), which was also invincible while ducking.
* '''The Bendini Sisters''' in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] are similar to the meteorites that fall in Star Man's stage in ''Mega Man 5''.
* The '''"Evil Fortress"''' seen at the beginning and end of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] is a parody of the Skull Castle/Fortress in ''Mega Man''.

== [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]] ==
* '''My Benj''' is similar to the Bit enemies in ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' for the NES.
* '''Stlunko''' is similar to many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in the ''Zelda'' series — for example, Bongo-Bongo from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], Gohdan from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] and Mazaal from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]].
* '''Saargtsson''' is very similar in appearance and style to [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm] from the ''Zelda'' series.

== [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]] ==
* '''Tampo''' moves in a similar way to that of [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest|Krow]], the first boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' for the SNES.
* '''Firey-Hot''' is a recolor of the fire cannons' blasts in the airship levels of ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
* '''Old Sage''' looks similar to the spikes found in the moon level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]''.
* '''The Liekand''' is very similar in appearance to Fryguy, from [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2.]] Fryguy, the Level 4 boss, is a flame that wears sunglasses.
**The fact that The Liekand turns into a mouse could be another reference to the game, as one of the bosses is Mouser, who is also a mouse that also wears sunglasses.
* The [[Stinkomanual]] mentions that this game has no "weepy princess crap", a reference to the ''Super Mario'' series (among others) in which the primary plot is to rescue a helpless princess.
** Similarly, Pan Pan's disappearance references many games in which a random character is kidnapped — for example, ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''3''.
* The phrase "Hold B" refers primarily to numerous Nintendo games in which you gain a boost of some sort by holding down the 'B' button. For example, in the ''Super Mario'' series, holding 'B' makes you run faster, and in ''Mega Man'', holding 'B' charges up your shot for a more powerful hit.
** In Stinkoman 20X6, holding down the 'S' key allows you to rapid-fire.
* Many NES games featured the letter 'P' (presumably for "Power") in various forms, such as the P-switches, P-Wings and P-Gauges in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This may explain the collectible Ps in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]].
* The name for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0 (Negatory)]] is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]] level in ''[[Wikipedia:/* [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]] */ Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' — a glitch that could be found by walking through a wall in Level 1-2.

== Other Games ==
* If you sit still for a while, your character becomes bored and yawns or falls asleep. This gag was first used in an old PC game called ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', and has since been used in countless video games.
* 1-Up's spin-kick is similar to the [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick).
** [[Homestar Runner]] also uses this move in [[dangeresque 3]], but mispronounces it as "The pipes are broken".
* '''Jaro's''' explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''The Adventures of Rad Gravity'' for the NES.
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|Tampo]]''' appears to have been modeled after Andross, the final boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]''. Andross's "true form" is that of a giant floating brain, and both he and Tampo have the same weak point: the [[Wikipedia:Cerebellum|cerebellum]].
* The sound effect for Tampo's destruction is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' for the NES.
* Stinkoman's pose with the giant fist at the end of Level 3 is a reference to some of the poses in ''[[Wikipedia:Battletoads|Battletoads]]''.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Level 4]] is a reference to a type of level (often called "Protect The Idiot") used in many video games to give the game some extra variety. In these kinds of levels, a secondary character blindly walks straight forward and depends on the player to clear obstacles and pitfalls.
* In [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5.2]], you can see a planet in the background that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]]'' for the SNES.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Level 6]] parodies countless video games that include cloud stages.
** In particular, the "pink cloud zone" in this is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Earthbound|Earthbound]], where the sixth "Your Sanctuary" location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
* After defeating the '''Liekand''' in Level 6, it transforms into a rat. This may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series for the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]], in which defeated enemies almost always turned into various animals.
*The Shadowy Figure's fleet (The Level 9 enemies) is a reference to Sonic Heroes, where the Egg Fleet was modeled after fish.
[[Image:ashtar.png|thumb|Muhahahahaha!]]
* The cutscene featuring the [[Shadowy Figure]] at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7]] is a reference to a similar cutscene at the beginning of ''[[Wikipedia:Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden 2]]'' for the NES. This cutscene features Ashtar, the evil boss of the game, seen from behind, surrounded by lightning and laughing maniacally.
* In the cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]], Stinkoman blasts part of the wall in a similar fashion to the [[Wikipedia:Kamehameha Wave|"Kamehameha Wave"]], an energy attack seen in the [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]] manga series.
* The cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] shows Stinkoman gazing upon the Evil Fortress from atop a rock. This is a direct reference to a similar scene in ''Ninja Gaiden'', in which the main character gazes upon a fortress from atop a mountain.
* The sound effect for the whistle is the sound that plays when you get an item on the NES Castlevania games.
* '''Broodacre''' is very similar to the volcanos in ''[[Wikipedia:Gradius|Gradius]]''.
* After defeating '''Harvax XVII''', the robot boss says "PI...PI...PI...". This message is similar to [[:Image:bionic_commando.png|messages spoken by robots]] in ''[[Wikipedia:Bionic Commando|Bionic Commando]]'' for the NES.

Head Bad and Strong Body

PurpleKoopa — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 00:14:33 GMT

PurpleKoopa:

[[Image:Head Bad and Strong Body.PNG|thumb|Head Bad and Strong Body]]
[[Image:Strong Body and Head Bad Regenerated.PNG|thumb|Regenerated]]
'''Head Bad and Strong Body''' were the nicknames given to [[Strong Bad]]'s bodiless head and headless body, respectively. This appearance was first shown in late 2000 on [[Main Page 7]], and more than five years later was reprised for the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[disconnected]]. That was also the email the nicknames were first used; "Head Bad" was coined by [[Coach Z]], and "Strong Body" by [[Bubs]].

Strong Bad figures that having his body separated would double his productivity, allowing him to be in two places at once. Head Bad can give people career advice, while Strong Body would be rioting against the municipality. Head Bad can also be taking a vacation on a [[The Island|deserted island]], while Strong Body is showing off his new moves at [[Club Technochocolate]]. Bubs claims that "without all that extra head ballast, [Strong Body's] moves are twicely fresh". Later, Head Bad would get tired of rolling around all over the place, so he thinks about getting some repulsorlifts, but later decides on exhaust pipes, as they have more muscle.

Strong Body and Head Bad later attain the power to regenerate, creating two "perfectly formed" Strong Bad specimens that look and sound nothing like Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This week, I'm feeling my style! I've got confidence in my email! ''{loads the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: sb!!!!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
If your head got disconnected and your head was rolling 
all over the place and you didn't even know were your 
body is or your head, what would you do? 
Jenny
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad struggles to read everything between "were" and the final "head". He also sings Jenny's name, as follows:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Jennyyy... ''{high-pitched}'' Jenny! ''{speaking normally, typing}'' Um, was ''your'' head connected to ''your'' body when you wrote this email? I think I get the gist of it. ''{clears the screen}'' While my head and body are normally the bosomest of buddies, I suppose I could double my productivity if they were separated. Like, I could raise that ruckus I've been planning in two days instead of four! The plausibilities are endless!

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad's disembodied head is speaking to Homestar Runner. A sign reads "THE CAREER ADVISOR IS REAL IN" with "REAL" being a separate removable word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head could be off giving folks career advice...

''{The scene pans over and darkens, while an image of Strong Bad's headless body is throwing rocks from a box of "riot rocks" at The King of Town and The Poopsmith near the King's castle appears on the left. The Poopsmith is wearing whatsit-covered armor and holding a giant shield with the King's face on it, which is blocking the rocks. A bar separates the two different scenes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...whilest my body is rioting against the municipality!

''{The body's scene darkens while the head's scene brightens.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Maybe this running business just isn't for you. Have you ever considered the making and selling of tiny breads?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Bunmaker, eh? Me likey, me likey! Thanks, Eggman! ''{turns away, but then turns back}'' Oh, and... ''{throws coins}'' why don't you get yourself something to eat? Put some meat on them bones, girl!

''{Homestar walks off. The body's screen vanishes while the head's pans over a ways to reveal that the ruckus the body is making is actually right next to his head. Strong Bad's head turns toward his body.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' That's some nice revolut'n, there, body, but, uh, maybe we should spread out. Like, more.

''{The body gives the head a thumbs-up. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad's head wearing his Dangeresque sunglasses, on what appears to be a beach. The head is sitting on a picnic blanket and resting against a tree trunk, and a drink with three umbrellas is in front of him. A seagull can be heard in the background. The camera pans back slowly.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Ah, livin' the sleazy life!

''{Cut camera cuts back to show that Strong Bad's head is actually alone on a small island.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{turning back}'' Hey, cabana boy! My drink needs more umbrellas! What kind of deserted island is this, anyway?

''{Cut to Club Technochocolate, where Strong Bad's body is dancing with Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Meanwhile, my body could be off putting its considerably reduced weight on it down at the cloob!

'''BUBS:''' Dang, Strong Body! Without all that extra head ballast, your moves are twicely fresh! Twicely fresh!

''{Cut to an image of Strong Bad's head rolling across The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time. I might have to rig up some kind of repulsor lift!

''{The camera cuts back, and the head begins to hover through some disc on the bottom of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, scratch that. I'm gonna need something with a little more... muscle.

''{The disc disappears and is replaced by flaming jets on the top of its head.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! ''{leans back, as though revving up}'' Reer! Reeeeer! ''{starts zipping all over the place quickly}'' Rooow! Rooow! Rooo! Reer! ''{imitating brakes as it stops}'' Reeeeee! Whoa! This mess rules! I can finally win the million-yard dash! ''{zips forward again}'' Roooo...

''{Cut to a finish line, which the head zips through quickly. Then cut to the other side, where Coach Z is holding a stopwatch.}''

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{imitating brakes}'' Reeeee! Oh, yes! I beat Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, Head Bad, but you was the only one competin' this year! Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!

''{Homestar, wearing a new hat that reads "BUNMAKER" and holding a box of "TINY BREADS" jumps up right behind Strong Bad's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cooornbreeeeead! I got cornbread here! Get a roll! Cornbread! Everybody wants a bun! Lemme hear that dinner roll!

''{Cut to a blank white screen. Strong Bad's body walks on from stage right, while the unaltered head rolls on from stage left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe one day, we'd both learn to regenerate...

''{The head gains an arm, a green leg, an spirally arm, and an extremely thin robotic-looking leg. The body gains an odd growth colored to look like Strong Bad's head in its chest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...creating two perfectly-formed Strong Bad specimens!

'''STRONG BAD'S BODY:''' ''{in a really whiny voice that sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' Hi would you like to go to the store?

'''STRONG BAD'S HEAD:''' ''{in a scratchy voice that also sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I hate your ''{chuckles}'' shoes!

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

PurpleKoopa: /* Appearances */

[[Image:All_up_ons.PNG|thumb|310px|"Well, Strong Sad, it means they really like you."]]
"'''All up ons'''" is a saying meaning "to really like you", an example being ''"The ladies are all up ons"'', meaning ''"The ladies really like you"''.

==Appearances==
*'''Debut:''' Email [[suntan]]— The origin of the saying: [[Strong Bad]] made [[Strong Sad]] to say it in an advertisement for the [[Ab-Abber 2000]]. The Ab-Abber's slogan is "They'll be ''all up ons''!"
*[[Hallrunner]]— When you face an object, the game says "You come ''all up on'' an object."
*[[Hip Hop Dance]]— [[Coach Z]]'s CD is called "The Z Is ''All Up Ins''", a variant of the term.
*Email [[dreamail]]— [[Female Lappy 486]] tells Strong Bad that in replying to his email he played well and that "Those ladies are sure to be ''all up ons''."
*Email [[lady fan]]— In a panel of the comic [[Buck Webb, Extraordinaire]], Strong Bad advises the sender of the email to drop his girlfriend if she is not ''all up ons'' after all the advice Strong Bad has given the sender.

[[Image:Fat_Bluebird.PNG|thumb|A very fat bird.]]
The '''Fat Bluebird''' is, as the name suggests, a very fat bluebird that appears on the loading screen of [[Strong Bad Sings]] and also lands on [[Strong Bad]]'s. It's also one of [[Mike Chapman]]'s favorite characters, as mentioned in the commentary of the [[Everything Else, Volume 1|DVD]] version. [[Matt Chapman]] wondered if it had his own page on this wiki, which it hadn't at the time. Despite Mike's love of the bluebird, it is not included on the [[Everybody Everybody Poster]].

Methinks Mike and Matt were being a bit sarcastic themselves. I think this character was one about nobody knows about until TBC talked about them on the commentary. I'm also sure that we'd add the Fat Bluebird ourselves if it appeared on the Everybody Everybody poster. [[User:PurpleKoopa|PurpleKoopa]] 04:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' So... who wants to come to my sweet someteen birthday bash tonight?

''{Close-up of So And So and Cheerleader, who look rather insane.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' 'm srry.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{holds up a cell phone, from which "the olympics are sooooo dumb!" is coming}'' So, coach just called and said the Olympics are dumb. We'll be there like shareware!

''{Cut (the music stops). A small man in a red hoodie labeled "coach" is standing next to a rather angry-looking burly man labeled "olympic man." Behind him is a banner that says "OLYMPIC RACE," and a cell phone identical to Cheerleader's is on the ground beside the coach.}''

'''COACH:''' I don't know what they're talking about, I swear!

''{Cut again to the Teen Girl Squad (music starts again).}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa! That was about the coolest thing ever! Me gotta see that again.

''{The cartoon rewinds and replays the 360-spin. The "SO GOOOD!" speech bubble has disappeared and doesn't return. At the end, however, What's Her Face is still spinning.}'' Uh-oh. We got a spinner.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Wheeeee! ''{the word slides to the right across the text bubble}''

''{A title slide entitled "AT THE PARTY" (imprinted on a cigarette, which a man is smoking) appears. Cut to the boy/girl party. Various characters from previous TGS episodes are attending. Pan right to reveal the TGS sans The Ugly One. What's Her Face is still spinning.}''

''{One of the Scots throws Cheerleader away from them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' CABER TOSSED!!

''{Cut to a spinning What's Her Face}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I really want... some of these chips.

'''SCOT:''' ''{off-screen}'' BAGH! Only 23 metres!

''{Cut to the bowl of chips. The warrior jumps out of the chips.}''

'''WARRIOR:''' Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!

''{The samurai's naginata digs into What's Her Face as she rotates, and the upper half of What's-Her-Face's body falls off.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{grinding sound}'' LATHE'D!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Oww! I hope they have those corn chips in heaven!

''{Cut to So And So and Tompkins, playing a Game Boy.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Say, Tompkins, Brett Bretterson and I are Splitsville, so I'm lookin for a little rebound action!

''{A Koopa shell comes out of the Game Boy and strikes So And So in the face.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{the word "pØwned!!" appears}'' Puh-owned! Or however you say that...

''{Cut to The Ugly One's Father, standing at a microphone, speaking to the party crowd.}''

'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' OK, party people, get ready to give it up for my little girl on her sweet someteenth birthday... and remember, if you're looking for low prices on used and broken electronics, don't forget... Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-Pawn!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute! Not this time, mister!

''{Strong Bad places a new piece of paper on the screen, containing The Ugly One and a muscular Strong Bad in a construction helmet. In the background are the [[Wikipedia:Great Sphinx of Giza|Great Sphinx of Giza]] and two pyramids.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why, hello, The Ugly One, you're looking so makey outy tonight.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Why thank you Sir Hotbod Handsomeface. So are you!

''{Strong Bad and The Ugly One start making out. Cut to Strong Bad at his desk, making out with the paper of The Ugly One. Zoom out to a broader view of the desk, revealing Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat standing next to him, looking bewildered.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"24 great-smelling colors" refers to scented markers like the [http://www.sanford.com/sanford/consumer/jhtml/new-product/productdetail.jhtml?attributeId=SNATT20025&nrProductId=SN20072 Mr. Sketch] series.
*"pØwned" is a variation of Internet slang meaning "owned". "[[Wikipedia:Pwn|Pwned]]" has numerous pronunciations, with popular ones including "owned" or "poned". Along the same lines, "P4wned" would also be [[Wikipedia:Leet|leetspeak]] for "pawned" as in pawn shop.
*The [[Wikipedia: Caber toss|Caber toss]] is a traditional Scottish sport, usually involving a log of specific weight. However, the remark "BAGH! Only 23 metres!" does not apply to the sport, for distance is not the object, rather how straight the throw is after it lands end-over-end.
*A [[Wikipedia:lathe|lathe]] is a tool used to create objects with [[wikipedia:rotational symmetry#Rotational symmetry with respect to any angle|cylindrical symmetry]] such as table legs. It works by rotating the subject while a cutting or smoothing tool is applied, evenly removing material around its circumference.
*[[Wikipedia:Clip show|Clip shows]], weddings, new babies, and characters getting killed off are staples of anniversary episodes and are generally considered signs of a TV show [[Wikipedia:Jumping the shark|jumping the shark]]. Such episodes also reprise characters and themes from the show as a whole (this issue features a great number of minor characters from previous issues). In the '60s, some shows, such as ''[[IMDb:tt0055662|The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', were thought to have jumped the shark when they made the switch from black and white to color.
*The "Sweet Someteen" birthday is a play on [[Wikipedia:Sweet sixteen (birthday)|sweet sixteen]].
*[[Wikipedia:Shareware|Shareware]] is generally software that an individual creates and grants distribution rights to for free (accompanied by a request for payment), with the intention that recipients will like it and share it with other people, increasing its visibility and potential profitability.
*The 3 "X's" on the beer barrel surrounded by the Scots are marks that once signified the thoroughness of distillation of [[Wikipedia:moonshine|moonshine]], but now have come to be synonymous with any type of alcohol.

===Remarks===
*This cartoon uses a faster [[Wikipedia:Frame rate|frame rate]] than any of the other ones before due to the 3-D sequence; this makes Strong Bad's makeout sequence and a few minor effects such as So-And-So's spinning eyes seem a little smoother than normal.
*If The Ugly One's dad's name is Manolios Ugly One, then "Ugly One" is actually her surname; this calls to mind So and So's step-mom being named [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]].
*This toon has more characters in it than any other toon to date.
*The music at the party is a dance mix version of the TGS main theme song.
*Even though it says in "24 great smelling colors", there are 43 colors.
*Strong Bad drew the "It's Over!" page on the back of the making-out page (you can see it reversed through the page, which is crumpled).
*This is the first time we've actually seen Strong Bad kiss something.
*When Strong Bad places the paper of himself greeting The Ugly One over the ARROWED II page, you can faintly see the ARROWED page beneath it.
*This toon, the 10th issue special, was released on October 10, or 10/10.
*So And So's teeth are only pink in her introductory shot.
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue to take us outside the paper and into the regular Homestar Runner universe (not counting the [[Wikipedia:frame story|frame story]] in the email [[comic]]).
*The speech balloons for the Mighty Warrior's first phrase, the Coach's phrase over the cellphone and "SO GOOD!" are opaque; the lines on the paper aren't visible inside them.
*When Strong Bad says "It's over", it sounds like the making-out page is still in his mouth. However, "It's over" is written on the back of the same piece of paper.

===Goofs===
*"Vicious" is misspelled as "viscious" in So and So's description.
*When Manolios says "give it up," his speech bubble says "give up."
*Near the end, in the "real life" scene, we see the "ARROWED II" paper on the desk. However, it is missing the "II."
*In the Easter Egg, when Manolios Ugly One is waving his arms around, a gap opens and closes repeatedly in his beard.

[[Image:Babydaddy.PNG|100px|thumb|Oops.]]

===Glitches===
*In the rotational scenes, Cheerleader's ''baby daddy'' floats off of her dress. This is probably because of a shortcut taken which involves decorations such as eyes rotating around spherical objects, such as heads. Masks are then added to cause the eyes to disappear when they leave the head area. Apparently they forgot to add this mask to Cheerleader's dress.

===Inside References===
* "ARROWED II!" is a reference to "ARROWED!" on [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
* "[[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Brett_Bretterson|Brett Bretterson]]" is So and So's imaginary boyfriend in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
* The three scotsmen saying, "ACHGH! ACHGH! ACHGH!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]], where three of the girls say "word" and "a'ight" in the same fashion, and a similar occurence in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5|Issue 5]], with George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Henry Rollins all saying "woot" in sequence.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Nick at Nite|Nick at Nite]] (misspelled as "Night" in the toon) is a programming block of [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (TV Channel)|Nickelodeon]] that runs "classic" TV like ''[[Wikipedia:Cheers|Cheers]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]'', while [[Wikipedia:WB Television Network|The WB]] is a network historically aimed at teens, with shows such as ''[[Wikipedia:Dawson's Creek|Dawson's Creek]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Gilmore Girls|Gilmore Girls]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Bowser|Bowser]] and [[Wikipedia:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] are [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] characters. Bowser is the king of [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopas]], which is why a Koopa shell hit So And So.
*Tompkins is playing the original 1989 [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] model.
*The grinding noise Strong Bad uses when the warrior "lathe"s Whats Her Face is strikingly similar to the noise made by electric can openers, which spin the can slowly in a similar fashion.
*"ARROWED II! Electric..." is a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo|''Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'']]. It has become frequently referenced as an example of facetious follow-ups to popular films.
*The "spinner" gag refers to glitches in physics simulation used in CGI animation, such as when certain objects fail to stop moving. Examples can be seen in the DVD special features of the computer-animated film ''[[IMDb:tt0198781|Monsters, Inc.]]''
*Henry Rollins is coloured bright red when he is shown socializing at the party. This is a reference to the make-up he wore in the video for ''[[Wikipedia:The Rollins Band|The Rollins Band]]'' song called "Liar."
*The hair on the "Olympic Man" seems similar to Phil's on the webtoon "Bonus Stage".

Talk:montage

PurpleKoopa — Mon, 23 May 2005 15:55:38 GMT

PurpleKoopa: /* Downtown? */

A brilliant e-mail, filled with funny jokes and catchy songs. I especially admire the "Strong Bad In Love With The Wagon Fulla Pancakes" montage. Great stuff. - 82.37.217.206

==Hellboy Funfact==
24.58.1.117, if you insist on having the Hellboy funfact then you need to explain where it comes from. -YourFuzzyGod (sorry about not signing)
:Yeah, I agree with YourFuzzyGod. Seriously, WHERE is the connection? Not all of us have read/watched ''Hellboy'', so some kind of explanation would be nice. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:41, 10 Nov 2004 (MST)
::We've not gotten any explanation. Therefore, I don't see why this thing is still in here; it's just too obscure for me to get, and I seriously doubt I'm alone.
::Either way, I'll leave the code here for people to mull over. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 21:01, 18 Nov 2004 (MST)
<nowiki>*Homestar's pronunciation of "pamcakes" could be a reference to the comic (and movie) ''[[Wikipedia:Hellboy|Hellboy]]''.</nowiki>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doesn't Coach Z say "The pamcake wins!" - i.e. echoing HR's mispronounciation? -- PrinceOfTown

-- I think so, I changed it.

Is this the best way to represent a montage?

Some of the scene changes are off slightly. At least one photo is missing from the end credits.

Uh, in the fun facts it says this is the first email to be written by a Hrwiki member. You guys should clarify that you mean the email itself, not Strong Bad's response, unless an HRWiki member actually wrote the script (which I doubt you meant).

== Background of the spinning scene ==

I watched the e-mail again just now, and noticed the background of the scene where Strong Bad and the wagon are spinning around has been corrected to a bunch of blurred trees. I watched it several times when it first went up though, and I'm fairly certain it was static then. So I restored the fun fact.

-- 24.58.1.117

== [[User:porplemontage|porplemontage]] wrote it ==

http://forum.porplemontage.com/viewtopic.php?t=141

'''Warning: Bad spelling ahead'''

== Watered Down ==

Need the Watered Down fun fact be there? There's really nothing indicating that it is a reference to Watership Down in the slightest. (And as I've read the book about three times, I've noticed the lack of any real connection even more.) --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 00:45, 14 Nov 2004 (MST)
:I have nothing wrong with it having been removed. I had a problem with it being removed with no explanation to back it up, or any summary at all. That's the kind of Wiki-ing that we '''don't''' want.
:That said, your reason works for me. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:45, 14 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Question Mock ==

(Forgive the pun.)

From "Fun Facts:"

<pre>Strong Bad, who makes a point of criticizing every e-mailer's
spelling and grammar, makes a critical mistake here himself.
"Why don't you creat an alternate reality where you don't have to spell
correctly and I talk like this." should have a question mark, but it doesn't!</pre>

Since Strong Bad is trying to mock the e-mailer, I think his use of a period instead of a question mark was intentional. In the e-mailer's "alternate reality," proper punctuation could go out the door too. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 21:31, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Even if this was unintentional, it doesn't strike me as a particularly fun fact. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 18:53, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Downtown? ==

Are people really hearing "downtown" in the training song's lyrics? I originally had it as

It's a showdown going down 
Now you're gonna mess around showdown

but it's been changed to "downtown" more than once. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 18:51, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

I'm pretty sure it's "downtown". Keep listening to the showdown easter egg and you will hear "town". ~[[User:PurpleKoopa|PurpleKoopa]] May 23 2005

== Ketchup ==

<pre>The ketchup Strong Bad pours on his french fries is the same ketchup from the easter egg in animal</pre>

Umm.. there is no ketchup in [[animal]]? The same ketchup has been seen though, in [[funny]] at least. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 17:03, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Closed Fun Facts ==

These were on the [[STUFF]] page and were closed. If you wish to contest the removal of any of these, post a comment here (make sure it won't be confused with any of the original votes).

=== hellboy (Declined) ===
"Pamcakes" might be referring to a two page story which appears in Mike Mignola's "Right Hand of Doom" graphic novel in the "Hellboy" stable. The 2004 film version also contains this mispronounciation of the word.

*'''Decline'''--Just a Cleaver Homestarism. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
**'''Second''' --[[User:ultragm2003|ultragm2003]] 10:01, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' TBC were going to dress Homestar as Hellboy for halloween, so it's possible. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:43, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== scoreboard (Declined) ===
The score board behind Homestar in the easter egg changes numbers even though it is not turned on.

*'''Accept.''' I missed that somehow.. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 19:35, 28 Dec 2004 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' In the transcript. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Comment''' The transcript does not note that the scoreboard is turned off. --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 15:32, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)
***Well, it says that the arena is dark, which implies it. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Slightly Decline''' The scoreboard may not be turned off. It may not be lit, so much as it displays the number. So, ''in theory'', it could be on.

=== ketchup (Declined) ===
The ketchup Strong Bad pours on his french fries is the same ketchup from the easter egg in [[funny]]

*'''Accept.''' Why not? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''BALEET!''' TBC reuse images all the time! →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 16:58, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:ultragm2003|ultragm2003]] 09:59, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Ketchup is ketchup is ketchup. That's like saying "The ketchup Strong Bad pours on his fries is the same ketchup Donald Trump likes on his." It's just ketchup. :P →[[User:jake-a-roonie|jake-a-roonie]] 03:59, 17 Feb 2005 (CST)

=== Pants (Incorrect - corrected and added) ===
Homestar wears pants in the "Im The Best" Easter egg. This is possibly the first time Homestar wears pants.
*'''Weak Accept''': While it's not entirely fun, it is a fact. But please, check to see if this is really the first time he wears pants. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]
** It's not. Check out the Halloween episodes. However, it's already on the [[montage]] page with the "besides Halloween episode" qualifier. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 13:47, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)

=== Unemployed? (Declined) ===

In [[montage]], The Cheat is said to be unemployed. However, he has been a paid lackey since he'd known Strong Bad. (might fall under montage fun fact too).

*'''Decline''' Yeah, and "lackey" looks real good on a resume - Current Salary: pencil shavings... Seriously though, as it is with just about any kind of gag, it involves something being exaggerated. Strong Bad was asked to create a montage - so he made some up... emphasis on "made up". --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:39, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Ian|Ian]] 18:52, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Just because it's a bad job with very poor pay doesn't mean its not a job. And, technicly, the entire catoon series is an exagerated gag. <tt>Posted by: [[User:-erson|-erson]] [[User talk:-erson|Talk]]</tt> 14:16, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment.''' I disagree - even if the series is loaded with exaggerated gags, there are still accepted premises. Also, don't forget that the end credits photo montages usually give narration from some point after what takes place in the montage - The Cheat could become unemployed in some toon in the future, which would make this item moot. In any case, as I said above, SB was asked to "creat" a montage, so the result was something he completely made up - in that respect, whatever comes of it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be canon. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 08:43, 17 Mar 2005 (MST)
* I know the current is going towards a lot of declines, but this is one I have to '''ACCEPT.''' I actually think this fact is a decent one. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 10:37, 22 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment.''' I just realized the problem with this item: there isn't really a discrepancy here. Lackey is #96 while Montage is #117, so it's possible that The Cheat could have become unemployed (as a lackey) between then and...then. We're not told about anything regarding The Cheat's job status in the meantime, so this isn't really that notable. (And my comments above about the montage not being canon still stand.) --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
**Not necessarily. I am sure that if Strong Bad did lose his The Cheat, we would have heard about it. I'm sure The Cheat is more valueable to him than his Compy, but look at how much he freaked out when it was shotgun'd, If he lost The Cheat he would probably be depressed for a few weeks. Also, in extra plug, The Cheat still stands by, wating for his orders (to plug in the shoes) which would indicate he is still a valueable lackey to SB. And I realise that he "created a montage", and the results dont have to be completely true. However, there is nothing indicating that it is UNtrue either. <tt>Posted by: [[User:-erson|-erson]] [[User talk:-erson|Talk]]</tt> 12:36, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' I think it is just a joke Strong Bad made up for the montage. He didn't really go out with a wagon fulla pancakes, did he? [[User: Lappy 486]]

== Limozeen? ==

I saw the [[best thing]] sbemail, yeaterday, and recognized immeadietly that there was a connection with Strong Bad's show and the Limozeen Pilot episode for their cartoon show. I wrote it as an inside refrence, does anyone else see that connection? If not I will gladly take it off. If so I will add it to [[best thing]]'s inside refrence list.

*I removed this for two reasons: 1) It's a fast forward, not an inside reference. 2) I see no connection whatsoever, besides the fact that the Brothers Chaps made jokes about cancelled TV shows twice. I really should have stuff'd it, though, so I'll go do that...

== "You're the Best" on South Park ==

If it wasn't for this e-mail, I probably wouldn't have recognized the song they used in the montages in the most recent episode of South Park (904, "The Losing Edge") - they used "You're the Best", and each time it played, I could only picture Homestar lying on the mat at the champeenship singing it. It was funny. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:36, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

==Transcript==

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''TV VOICE''': And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''(Strong Bad enters.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labelled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{Changes channel}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, are you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along. Cue music beat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the Homestar Runner Theme Song}'' Homestaaaar is running. Along. Homestaaaar – ''{A record scratches as he suddenly stops and starts coughing/spitting profusely.}'' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm down. Remember health class. A-hem. ''(goes down on one knee, speaks slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{Cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating chocolate ice cream bars.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{greeting bubbling noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug! ''{kneels down in front of the King of Town}'' The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Give me them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the ice cream bars}'' We'll freeze 'im out! ''{scarfs them}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hey! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' It deliciously didn't work! ''{pokes Pom Pom with the one of the leftover sticks and Pom Pom narrows his eyes at Homestar, annoyed}'' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy.

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or… nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh yeah, and go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labelled "EXHIBIT A" with a lighter.}''

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in and Bubs drops the lighter and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? I think a bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of his business cards}'' Whadda we got here? Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator… Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside; Homestar gurgles}'' Okay… ''{Homestar gurgles again}'' Curious, yes. ''{Homestar gurgles once more}'' Interesting. ''{Homestar makes a noise}'' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas. ''{Homestar looks annoyed}'' But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here! ''{picks up a cooler labelled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

'''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a frying pan in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I –

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkell.

''{Homestar leaves then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have –

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pops up from behind the couch}'' Strong Bad – ''{Strong Bad hits him with his skillet}'' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out ''whom'' shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's no way I'm missing that one. NO WAY.

''{Fade to black. Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch. Couch is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' That was a great skillet nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Strong Bad is duct-taped to the TV.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't… miss… any of the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've ''what''? ''{tears his head from the TV}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You-ka – wha?

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runner, did you shoot Caleb?

''{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing the sunglasses he wears in [[the bet]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You traitor! You shot my favorite TV show! ''(throws the remote at Homestar's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hiccup. ''(the bug flies out of his mouth}'' Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug ''did'' fly in my mouth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh… the good times are ''definitely'' over.

''{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear. Strong Bad opens his mouth in surprise.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The world is saved! I found the blue ooooones!

''{end.}'' (after a while, the bug flies over the screen)
