''{They start playing. What's Her Face's guitar suddenly turns into a shark.}''

==Fun Facts==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue where all four girls clearly die.
*This is the first appearance of a main character (namely, Pom Pom) in a Teen Girl Squad issue (outside of an Easter egg).
*This is the first time Strong Bad has made an apparently personal comment during narration.
*This is the first time that someone other than Strong Bad has said "IT'S OVER!"
*This is the first time someone said the word "[[Crap|crap]]" in a Teen Girl Squad issue.
*The main stage also appears in an Easter egg in [[death metal]].


===Remarks===
*So and So appears twice in this issue with two sharp fangs; The Ugly One also grows fangs in [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad|Issue 6]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|Issue 10]].
*Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One have no chairs by or attached to their desks to sit on.
*During their first practice session, So-and-So looks like she is playing some odd mix between a Gibson Explorer and a Fender Jazz Bass, and What's Her Face is playing a Gibson V-Factor (more commonly known as the Flying V) with a Fender headstock.
*What's Her Face's remark that "[her] bass feels seaworthy" may be a referring to the fact that a number of people mispronounce the musical term "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_%28musical_term%29 bass]" as the fish "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_%28fish%29 bass]"


=== Goofs ===
*The die that crushes So And So is a 20-sided die. Twelve-sided dice have pentagonal faces.
*The blue lines on the paper are misplaced inside Tompkins' speech bubble in the Easter egg.
*At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.
*Before "Kissy Boots" practice, the piano loop overlaps.
*Cheerleader is supposed to play the guitar; however, in the closet jam, the instrument she is holding has only 4 tuners like a bass.
*Two of What's Her Face's vertebrae are floating in the air after the shark bites her "most of me" off.

=== Inside References ===
*"Ooncha ooncha one, two, three-cha" and Tompkins debuted in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*The "[[-erson]]" tacked onto Mrs. So and So's name is a running gag also previously used on Teen Girl Squad Issue #7.
*Strong Bad is called a "prinicpal" (note the misspelling) by his nameplate and by Tompkins, just like in the [[Homestar Quiz]] and [[CGNU]].
*What's Her Face's desk is resting on her lap, and this could be a reference to the DVD commentary for the email "[[date]]."
*When What's Her Face points out that Mrs. So-and-so-erson has "like a million jogging suits" her mouth looks like one of the earlier versions of What's Her Face when she had huge lips. This early version is in Matt and Mike's sketchbook on the DVD.

*Cheerleader's inexplicable change of dress when she says "No yous guys" is similar to what happens to a pile of marshmallows in [[Meet Marshie]].
*When So and So talks about Tompkins being a renegade, she has an expression on her face reminiscent of [[Doreauxgard]] in [[lackey]].

===Real-World References===
*"Breadtangle" refers to cafeteria pizzas which are rectangular in shape, and very bready.
*The Sega "tape" (technically a ROM cartridge) Tompkins steals in the Easter egg is "Road Rash." Road Rash was a [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]]/Sega MegaDrive game where you race on motorcycles and knock other racers off their motorcycles by punching them or using clubs.
*All of Kissyboots' music is taken from the in-game music of Road Rash.
*One of The Ugly One's drums reads "mr. drummond", a reference to Philip Drummond, a character in the '70s/'80s TV show ''[[IMDB:tt0077003|Diff'rent Strokes]]''.
*Cheerleader's three-necked guitar is a reference to [http://www.jemsite.com/jem/model/vai_triple.htm Steve Vai's guitar], which he played in the video for "Just Like Paradise" by David Lee Roth.
*The "16 hour drum solo" brings to mind the epic drum solos of "[[Wikipedia:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]]" by Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's solo in [[Wikipedia:The Song Remains the Same|The Song Remains the Same]] or "Moby Dick".
*Cheerleader's close-up of her with a hat, moustache, glasses, and a tie is similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Blues Brothers|Blues Brothers]], though the way she says "yous guys" also directs the reference toward Edward G. Robinson.
*The classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon [[Wikipedia:Jabberjaw|Jabberjaw]] also had a shark as a band member.
*The trolls and the gamers multi-sided die are staples of [[Wikipedia:Role_playing_game|RPGs]] such as [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]].
*The trolls' language sounds vaguely "Gothic" (in the ethnic sense of the word) to go with So and So's image. It also bears a striking resemblance to [http://www.kli.org Klingon] which along with [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] are 2 of the best known geek symbols.
*The opening quote for So and So "[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000063T50/002-1408612-1164808?v=glance Hooked on Classics]" refers to a real compilation album. It consists of classical musical themes set against rock beats.
*The pose for the shark at the end is remarkably similar to the pose of the Shark enemy in Final Fantasy 1.
*Fatty's Big Chance is clearly a Ska band, what with his checkered pants and the phrase "pick-it-up".
**This is likely a specific reference to the 1970's British ska band [[Wikipedia:Bad_Manners|Bad Manners]] and its fat, shaven-headed singer [[Wikipedia:Buster_Bloodvessel|Buster Bloodvessel]]. The checkered pants match the standard set by the British ska label [[Wikipedia:Two_Tone|Two Tone]], on which Bad Manners recorded. Additionally, Bad Manners recorded the song "Lip Up, Fatty".
*What's Her Face's bass transforming into a shark is a reference to the 1997 TV special, "[[IMDB:tt0218329|Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees]]". During a musical sequence, Mike's guitar turns into a shark.
*When the girls form Kissy Boots, note that The Ugly One is the drummer. [[Wikipedia:Ringo Starr|Ringo Starr]] was the drummer for [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. Each Beatle had his own little nickname, and Ringo was also known as "The Ugly One".
**Also note that What's Her Face plays bass left-handed, just like [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]] from The Beatles.
*What's Her Face's guitar closely resembles the Gibson Thunderbird.

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

'''MATT:''' So, we got our main Ryan Sterritt up in the house! Ryan! We'll give a shout-out!

'''RYAN:''' Yo, yo!

'''MATT:''' Umm, what is The Ugly One doing listening to pinebark, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Does What's Her Face never have an apostrophe?

'''MATT:''' Uh yeah, y— I noticed that this week you added one for number ten. And she usually doesn't have one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And she's never had one before? I mean, it ''should'' have one, right?

'''MATT:''' I mean, sometimes "it's over", yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Didn't we fix all the "it's over"s?

'''RYAN:''' We did. But only two of the nine had apostrophes.

'''MIKE:''' On the website?

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' But on the DVD they've all got 'em. I've finally learned the difference. Because of your Strong Bad's Rhythm and Grammar song!

'''MATT:''' Well, there you go!

'''MIKE:''' So... these days, one of the Teen Girl Squad's members almost always has fangs, at some point in the cartoon.

'''RYAN:''' Tha— that's always Mike. Mike loves to add the fangs. You know that Mike drew those frames if they have fangs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{sotto voce}'' I drew that. ''{normal volume}'' And I played bass! Like— like What's Her Face! I know what she's going through.

'''MATT:''' Like Kim Gordon! And—

'''MIKE:''' Darcy!

'''MATT:''' Laura! Laura from Superchunk, and Darcy from Smashing Pumpkins!

'''RYAN:''' Jabucks had a girl bass player.

'''MATT:''' Did they? Look at that poor guy.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Kim Deal? ''{crosstalk}'' Girl bassists... I'm not a girl, just to be clear! ''{laughs}'' I don't know how we got on girl bass players.

'''MATT:''' Hey guys, look at how creepy Mrs. So-and-so-erson is.

'''MIKE:''' I remember going to friends' houses and, like, their— the walk-in closet was kind of a fun place to play.

'''MATT:''' The, uh—, the New You used to play in a walk-in closet I had at the plaza apartments! And we played for months and months and months and the day before I moved out was the only day someone came and complained about the noise. Which was really surprising. Umm, so, I'm not believing that stuff about bombing a sixteen-hour drum solo, you guys.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You can't— ha—

'''MATT:''' Uh, so now, we've personified that speaker, uh, into some kind of speaker robot.

'''MIKE:''' Kinda looks like Screech's best friend robot that's in one episode of Saved by the Bell.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um, Kevin is his name.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Fatty there, of course, being— representing the ska contingent.

'''MIKE:''' Were you ever into ska, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uh, yeah. Ska punk.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? ''{laughs}'' Pick it up, pick it up, Boston! Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' So what...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. There's some maggot on— there's some others. They— they're catching in. ''{sings}'' Sound system gonna bring me back up right. ''{incomprehensible}'' Guys?

'''MATT:''' That was all right for a certain "pick it up, pick it up".

'''MIKE:''' Eh, ''{incomprehensible}''?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{laughs}'' Dis my new band.

'''MATT and MIKE:''' Bismarcky and the bitsy boys!

'''MIKE:''' So were those people— were those supposed to be people in the foreground?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or black lollipops?

'''MATT:''' Oh no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh wait, did she die then?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

===Fun Facts===
*The "Strong Bad's Rhythm and Grammar" song Mike refers to is from [[local news]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
* "The King of Town's Popular Cartoon Show" is another case of the King of Town trying to appear cool and popular.
* In this email, Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend's]] name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-05-04|Quote of the Week]], it was spelled "Delelilia".

===Goofs===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.
*As Homestar dances, his left foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*In this email, Coach Z makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine. Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes some references to [[Robots|robots]].
*This email features references to [[Homestar's Pants]], [[long pants]] and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*"Masterdly" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] combining "masterful" and "dastardly".
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.
*Pom-Pom and Stong Bad winning the vote for Prom King and Queen is a reference to [[Homestar Talker]].

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Dance from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "GOO GOO GOO JOOB".

== Is the KOT Very Own Show a reference to Butter's Own Episode on South Park ==

Just a comment about the thoughts I had before realizing it was a sbemail instead of a KOT short!
~OptimumCoder
:I don't think it was an intentional reference, as the Brothers Chaps claim they don't watch South Park, and definitely not to that episode (the fact that it's his very own episode is a little too broad), but it is remarkable similar to the infamous Terrance and Phillip episode. They were running a 2-part episode, and rather than showing the second part of it, since the airdate fell on April Fools, they showed a completely unrelated episode. I was thinking of adding this to the references. As long as it's clear that it probably isn't intentional, I think it would fit. And complaints, before I add it? [[User:Evan|Evan]]
::No, this thing is totally a parady of ''Butter's Own Episode''. The opening music is nearly an exact match. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:30, 3 May 2006 (PDT)
:::If someone could get a screenshot from Butters own Episode that would be helpful.
::::I have the episode on my compy, matter o' fact. The "Everyone Knows It's Butters!" part sounds SORTA like the KoT chime, but if the song was a little longer and described how the KoT thinks being your self is the best thing around, then MAYBE I would agree. :P I still insist that it's more like the Terrance and Phillip gag as mentioned.

::::EDIT: Hope it's okay, but I uploaded the song from the Butters episode. http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:Butterssong.ogg Whaddya think? I still insist that it's a little vague. [[User:Evan|Evan]]

==Almond paste filled sweet delight==

:From Wikipedia: "Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight." Sounds reasonable to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Marzipan is a type of candy that usually contains almond paste plus more sugar, and it's cooked until it reaches the "firm ball" stage (244 F). The cooking gives it a smoother texture, almost like fondant. But I'd still guess that the "almond paste" bit was meant as a reference to Marzipan. | [[User:Totoro|Totoro]] 21:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

There's no solid proof that it was the Poopsmith.
:Yes, that has been pointed out. Nobody is claiming that it definitely ''was'' the Poopsmith in this case.

== More than two prom...blems? ==

Current Fun Fact:

*Marzipan's comment "...every freakin' year...." implies that she has attended the senior prom more than once. Because it is typically the final dance in high school, most people only attend the senior prom once.

I edited this from another version that said "it seems implausible that she would have attended it more than once". I beg to differ: There are a few reasons why she could have. (1) She could have gotten held back and repeated <s>the third grade</s> her senior year multiple times. (2) She could have gone with Homestar in previous years (and he'd probably be more likely to get held back). And (3) She could have served some other purpose in previous years.

My point is, I don't think we have enough to go on to say why she'd be at the prom multiple years. But a lot of cartoons and comics run on the implication that the characters never age, and they repeat the same years of their lives each year (a 365-day version of Groundhog Day, or something). That seems plausible in the HR Universe as well. Thus, I think the Fun Fact should kinda gloss over the "implausibilities" and relate Marzipan's comment to the way it is in real life.

[[the show|And for the block, do you agree?]] {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: I agree. Also, Marzipan could have simply ''heard'' that pantless-Strong Bad won Prom Queen multiple years in a row or whatever happened. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It makes more sense to me that they just all go to a senior prom every year. [[User:130.127.84.204|130.127.84.204]] 18:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't Marzipan's initial " as always, we're the only couple at the prom" comment lend further credence to the whole multiple prom hypothesis? [[User:85.65.116.80|85.65.116.80]] 00:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The thing is some schools let any students go to the prom. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:33, 3 May 2006 (PDT)

Another possibility is that, like in many cartoons, none of the characters age. This would allow for a senior prom every year. Also note that in many of the same cartoons (or comic strips), they can have "flashbacks" to x number of years ago, despite the fact that in reality they were the same age in that year as they are now. [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 03:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

== Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ==

I would suggest that there definitely needs to be a reference regarding the ongoing pants/no-pants debate regarding Coach Z and Homestar. This seems to put the nail in the coffin that there are, in fact, no pants going on with either of them. Although (he realizes) it could also be argued that Coach Z wears a body suit, which doesn't technically have any stand-alone pants, which still leaves the door open for his "green-body/green body suit" ambiguity. (PS: Stand Alone Pants would be a great name for a rock band.)
:There's a reference to [[Homestar's Pants]] already on the page. That's where the debate is most fully explained. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::Whether or not this is proof Homestar doesn't wear pants should be put up for a vote me thinks. The obvious argument for would be the fact that his pants didn't poof away at all and his discussion with pompom during the easteregg seemed to imply he was covering. The arguments against could be that Strong Bads remote malfunctioned, or perhaps Homestar wears pants that look exactly like his legs!

:::I like the "Maybe Homestar's pants look exactly like his legs" line of thinking. Another thought on Coach Z: how can one reliably say that he "puked his pants" and then have no pants disappear? On a personal note, two years ago, before finding this site, I never thought I would be this concerned about the existence of a cartoon character's pants.

::::For general [[Pants]], see [[Pants]]. (Would General Pants be a good name for a Cheat Commando?) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Better than "Firebert."
:::::Well, the fact that we didn't hear a poof or see a poof is enough evedince for me that Homestar is pantsless and not a long pants man.

::::::Right, it seems like Homestar is the only one around who seems convinced that he wears pants. Coach Z is still a bit of an issue, in my mind. As far as the [[Pants]] page is concerned, that's less an informational resource on the evidence for and against the various characters' pantsitudinal condition and more of a link to all the cartoons where someone simply mentions the word "pants." Since this is such a long-standing gag, it would be nice to see it expanded.

:::::::Every time recently that Homestar's pants have been mentioned, TBC present both sides, first suggesting one thing and then the other. (The same is true for Homestar's arms.) It is ''intentionally'' ambiguous. I wouldn't be surprised if TBC didn't even know the true nature of things. He's drawn that way just because it looks right to them. Trying to assert that he actually does or doesn't have pants (or, sheesh, ''voting here'' on the matter) would be futile. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::::Of course it's intentionally ambiguous. That's not in dispute. The location of Springfield on The Simpsons is intentionally ambiguous as well, not meant to have an actual answer, but it's still entertaining to look at a single body of evidence regarding all the clues to its location. Considering all the "pants/no pants" and even "arms/no arms" clues TBC have sprinkled throughout the life of this gag, am I the only one that would find it an entertaining resource to have all the data in one place?

I know the band's name All the King's Men is more than likely a reference to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty (which remarkably isn't in RWR).

== David Copperfield ==

It seems more likely that the reference to ''David Copperfield'' is from the [http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Copperfield_%28novel%29 very famous book] by Dickens than the illusionist. Certainly, the latter probably takes his name from the former (though it could be a coincidence) so unless there is a specific reason why it would be the illusionist over the book, it seems like the reference should be cataloged as being to the book and not the person (or, at least, both the book and the person). --[[User:Sailor titan|Sailor titan]] 06:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

:While I agree that the book is more famous than the illusionist, I'd imagine it would be hard for Strong Bad to take Delilelia to see [[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (novel)|David Copperfield the novel]] perform.

== KOT's Cartoon Show ==
Was anyone else disappointed when the KOTs cartoon show was interrupted for the Strong Bad e-mail? I was like "Hey a KOT cartoon? YES! There hasn't been one since 'The King of Town DVD'" Then I was like "awwwwe man!" when it was interrupted. I had high hopes, I always like to see the so-called reject characters (KOT, Strong Sad, Homsar) get together once in awhile. Though don't get me wrong I had worries E-mail #150 would be the last. Worries which were finally put to rest. Thank god.
:I was as well. Personally, I think the KOT is always consistently funny -- "Butter-da" and "stuffinged ham" still cracks me up -- and I went through the same emotional cycle as thee. "Cool! Aww..." And since I didn't think this was a particularly strong SBemail, it made for a double dose of disappointment. It's a shame the KOT keeps getting dumped on as being unpopular. He's got a hell of a lot more humor potential than the Poopsmith.

This whole Prom remindeth moi of the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Theme of the dance from the ''Back to the Future'' series and All the King's Men's suits are reminiscent of Marvin Berry and the Starlighters'. [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 15:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== Who is David Coppafeel? ==

I wonder who was responsible for violating Marzipan. I'm guessing Strong Mad, for the following reasons: (1) he was standing next to Marzipan with his hands up when the lights came back on, (2) he has been known to [[:Image:Mysfit-steries.PNG|violate Marzipan]] in the past (though this was later fixed by TBC), and (3) he's stupid/clumsy enough that it could have been an accident. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== Coppin' a feel? ==

Is it possible that someone "a-Grabbin' mah butt" as homestar aptly put it, or "David Coppafeel"...ing... as marzipan put it a recurring joke of some kind? They both happened after the lights go out in an unexplicable manner, and, to my knowledge, these are the only two instances of blackouts Throughout the site.

== Walrus Association ==

An inside reference claiming that the Walrus Association Easter egg is a reference to the Certified Arborist Easter egg from [[other days#Easter Eggs|other days]] was removed, on the grounds that "a repeated joke does not equal a reference" (paraphrase). However, I have compiled a list of reasons that lead me to believe that it is a reference, and a pretty clear reference at that. Athough I admit some of these are glaringly obvious, I feel I have the need to point them out.

*They are both Easter eggs (told you some of these were obvious)
*They are both business cards
*They are both jokes formed from the emailer's state abbreviation
*They are both accesed by clicking on the state abbreviation
*They both have a pair of images on the sides of the card
*They both have a 555 phone number followed by a 4-letter abbreviation pertaining to the business (TUSQ and [[Wikipedia:Xylem|XYLM]])
*They both list a mobile phone number as "coming soon" (or, in the Walrus card, "gimme about a week or so").
*They both have a quote/motto at the bottom pertaining to the business

and here's the giveaway...

*'''''They both use the same font.'''''

Also, I have searched the wiki and found no other business card formatted in this manner.

{{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 02:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

== Summary/Relevance ==

Really, folks. The KOT's show is so minor to the plot (and such a delightful surprise) that including it in the summary of this 4:00+ email is kinda idiotic, IMO. If we're summarizing ''The Princess Bride'' in a sentence or two, Peter Falk and Fred Savage wouldn't get a mention. Same should go here. Rather than add it back in, please present an argument for its inclusion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:Because many users were led to believe it was what the toon was about. For The Brothers Chaps to go so far as to change the URL and main page message, it's a pretty big part of the email and makes it unique. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 12:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:: Agreed. It was a huge gag. I don't think anyone who went into that toon blind would have thought that a SBemail was on the way. Just because in retrospect it seems weirdly random doesn't mean that it wasn't important at that time. And come on, Fred Savage constantly interrupting Peter Falk's reading of the book? That was a pretty funny part of the story. "She doesn't get eaten by the eels at this time..."
::: Also agreed. I'ma put it back. Again. There's just something that strikes me as very funny about the strikethrough (on the wiki) and the way it picks up with Strong Bad in mid-sentence (on the official site). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
::::NO PETER FALK!!!!! wt* {{User:Csours/sig}} 06:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
:Wait. I agree that was a great part of the story. My point was that if you're encapsulating it in a sentence or two, that's a detail you're likely not to mention in favor of the story of the characters in the tale. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::I don't think striking out a sentence makes the article unprofessional at all. On the contrary, I think it perfectly highlights the abrupt change in the course of the toon, and it recognizes the unique nature of how the email was promoted; namely, TBC announced it as a KoT toon, so we should incorporate that into the description at the top. The strikethrough is just a nice, humerous touch. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Cool. Although I deleted the <s>struckthrough</s> part without having read this discussion, with an edit summary to which It's dot com's referring about it looking funny, I don't particularly feel strongly about it. And like I said, it's clever. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:43, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

== This is not... America... (no!) ==

:*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school.

I'm Canadian, and our senior proms are pretty much the same thing. Not every region uses the term "senior", but the "prom" thing is universal in every province. I won't edit until we get more information, since "In the United States and Canada" seems too bulky, but "In North America" might not be accurate since I don't know if Mexican schools do the same thing. Perhaps a bit more research is called for. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 18:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where in Canada you're from, Ugliness Man, but I've never heard anyone use the word "prom" (except as an affectation). "Grad" is the much more common Canadian term, at least in my opinion. [[User:ModestlyHotGirl|ModestlyHotGirl]] 19:48, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:I've lived in Ontario and Prince Edward Island. I've only known "grad" in that context to refer to some non-formal or semi-formal end-of-year event, usually the night of the graduation ceremony, or less than a week beforehand, and is also sometimes called "safe grad" because it is a supervised event where drugs and alcohol are strictly forbidden. On the other hand, the "prom" usually happens at least a month before grad. In fact, I've never been to a high school that ''didn't'' have a prom. Obviously it's a matter of different people having different experiences, but the point still stands that the prom is not a USA-only occurance by any stretch, considering I've been to 3 proms (and 5 Christmas proms) and I've lived in Canada my whole life. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 21:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::From your experience, are Canadian proms typically intended for seniors, or for all classes? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:::The "regular" prom is open only to the graduates and their guests (in other words, any graduate going out with someone not graduating that year is allowed to bring them). I suppose this would make the term "senior prom" redundant. Then again, we rarely use the term "senior" anyway, students are referred to by what grade they're in. It's apocryphal, but just for the sake of full disclosure, the Christmas prom is open to all students. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 21:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:From Wikipedia's article on [[Wikipedia:Prom|proms]]:

<blockquote>In the '''United States''', a '''prom''', short for promenade, is a formal dance held at the end of the years of high school and college, called junior prom and senior prom respectively. In British English such an event would be called a ball, although in '''Canada''', Australia and New Zealand it is also often called a '''formal'''.</blockquote>

:(Emphasis added) Please know that I am not from Canada, so I do not have firsthand knowledge about this.
:{{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::That's rather odd... I've lived in 2 Canadian provinces and my ex-wife has lived in 4, and neither of us have heard the term "formal" used like in that context. Every such dance has been called a "prom" or "senior prom" (and in some places there's a Christmas prom, but that's another story). I think when I'm more awake I'll take a nip over to the Wikipedia article and see what their source is for that information. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 21:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:::I'm sure that there are other countries in the world that have senior proms, but I think the fact can stay written as it is. The current wording does not preclude the existence of senior proms in other countries; also, both TBC and Free Country are in the USA. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::::I disagree. Leaving it stated as it is suggests that the prom is a USA-only event. I feel that it should either be changed to include countries other than the USA, or changed to remove the reference to any specific country. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 21:44, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::How's 'bout:

== "Koo koo ka-choo" (Bless You) ==

The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" is also from Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson".
: That's nice. However, the "Goo goo ga-joob" reference in "I Am the '''Walrus'''" is more relevant to a '''Walrus''' Association, is it not? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::198.107.27.252: Yup, Simon and Garfunkel took it from the Beatles. A few other people have too, if I remember correctly. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:12, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:::True. They were both 1967 songs, so I'm not sure which was written first (I'm inclined to guess that the S&G song is actually referring to "I am the Walrus", since it features other pop culture references. Also, this was a time of great "inspiration" for The BeatLeS D). At any rate, the Walrus Association definitely ties it to The Beatles' song. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

::::just wondering, do either of these actually have any connection to reality?{{User:Csours/sig}} 06:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::"[[Wikipedia:I am the Walrus|I am the Walrus]]" intentionally has no meaning:

<blockquote>
Lennon received a letter from a pupil of Quarry Bank Grammar School, which he had attended as a child. The writer mentioned that their English master was making his class analyze Beatles' song lyrics. (John wrote an answer to the letter, dated September 1, 1967, which was auctioned by Christie's of London in 1992).
 Lennon, amused that a teacher was putting that much effort into understanding Beatles lyrics, decided to write the most confusing, unusual lyric he could.
 ...
 Upon finishing the lyrics, Lennon remarked to Shotton, "Let [them] work that one out."
</blockquote>

:::::"Mrs Robinson" has much more to do with reality, as several lines relate to the movie "The Graduate", in which the song debuted. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::Yes, but this line still is meaningless there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Can we stop the edit war and discuss captions here? Thanks so much. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, please, let's do so. Now, the person who has been removing the quote has argued that it shouldn't be there because Marzipan, who says the quote, is not in the picture. I don't find this argument convincing. I don't think a quote has to line up ''exactly'' with the image as long as its connection with the image is clear. And here, I think the connection is indeed clear: what happens in the image ''is'' what happens every year. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::Well, Mr. Läufer, it DOESN'T happen every year, because some schools (my alma mater included) don't have prom kings and queens. The connection with the image wasn't clear, IMO, at all.

== Peep: worth a fun fact? ==

I noticed the inclusion of "summat" as a real-world reference, which made me wonder if including a similar item for the rap term [http://www.rapdict.org/Peep peep] was worth one as well, esp. since TBC use a lot of hip-hop lingo.

== Easter Eggs ==

*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen you can still click the [[Quote of the Week]], weekly [[Sketchbook]], and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] buttons to see them.
**If you hold tab until it highlights over where the updates are posted and hit enter, it takes you to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**If you mouse over the Quote of the Week, it bounces around the screen until it gets lodged at the top. When you click "Hear it," a pixelated broom scrolls vertically along the screen and makes a loud distorted noise, the same as is heard by Marzipan moments later and some of the links disappear off the bottom of the screen. When you click the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen and the links reappear.
***This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake QOD (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom, right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
**If you click on Weekly Fanstuff, it leads to a glitched fanstuff box, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's The Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and [[The King of Town's Grill|a grill]]. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom. Scroll over the close button, which is misspelled as OCⓧSLE, and the words 'A BOOK' appear in green.
***The numbers are in a font called "MS Reference Specialty" and spell out the phrase "stick to your books" (possibly—since the letters a–h in MS Reference Specialty are represented by little squares).
**If you click on the Sketchbook, it leads to a glitched sketchbook box, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scroll over it and a green X appears overtop. Clicking it causes it to close. Allowing it to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch—a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
***The reason for the glitch is because in the .swf file of the glitched up sketchbook, there is a black box to the left of the screen, which, of course, covers up the screen on the left.
*If you click on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail, you can see Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], with signs reading "Like Used!" and "Slightly Shotgunned!"
*If you click on the fan on the right, you can see an excerpt of the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon, but with Fightgar using Homestar's leg as a gun.
:'''NARRATOR:''' To protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation#Quadratic formula|Quadratic Formula]] is an algebraic equation used to determine the roots of a [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation|quadratic equation]].

=== Trivia ===
*This is the only email in which the navigation bar and the email are combined into one Flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words). Because the navigation bar on this email has not changed since the Email's release, newer tabs (such as Random) do not appear on this navigation bar.
*The broken JPEG is used in the Netscape family of web browsers, including [[Wikipedia:Netscape Navigator|Netscape Navigator]], [[Wikipedia:Mozilla|Mozilla]], and [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].

=== Remarks ===
*Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created. Although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made, it would pretty much be impossible for a virus scanner to have existed in 1982.
*Strong Bad's head is larger than normal (but not his wrestling mask) while he is talking to Strong Sad. It reverts back to normal when he runs for The Cheat, but then regresses back to the larger head once he enters into the black.
*The letters that make up ASCII Marzipan refer to parts of her body: "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress.
*Strong Bad says that Edgar from the [[Edgarware]] program is his "main man." However, he claims in "[[2 years]]" that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde."
*The reason the "making out with Marzipan" pop-up doesn't come up in the .swf, or Flash, version is because the information for the pop-up is stored in the HTML source code. All that the Flash file does is to send a JavaScript command to the browser, opening the pop-up window.
*In the Fake QOD, the words "Quote of the Day (Or So)" are displayed reversed, as though in a mirror, and, instead of "Hear It!" and "Get It!", the buttons are "Hear It!" and "Don't TAPE It", although the latter is hidden by the top of the screen.
**If you view the Flash file directly and hover over "Don't TAPE It", the button changes to "Don't TAKE It".
*This is the second e-mail made using the Widescreen technique. The first was [[flashback]].
*If you click "main" on the navigation bar, it takes you to [[404'd]]. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained in some environments by dividing zero by zero, and/or other mathematical errors.

=== Goofs ===
*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable.
*After Homestar grabs "downloads", "characters", and "games" from the bottom, "toons" is no longer clickable, unlike the other remaining links. Then, at the end of the email when everything else returns to normal, all the links disappear.
*The fake QOD, fanstuff, and sketchbook stay on the screen until you get rid of them, even after Bubs shotguns the Compy, and in the Easter eggs.
*After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time, and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears.
*The links between "toons" and "contact" disappear while the Quote of the Day Easter egg is active.
*Most shotguns spread out from the barrel, whereas the blast from Bub's shotgun seems to narrow down as it reaches the back wall.
*When the [[Random Toon|random toon]] link ("rando") was added to the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]], The Brothers Chaps forgot or chose not to update this page, as it does not use the regular navbar.

=== Inside References ===

*This is an extreme instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*Strong Bad's response to the Flagrant System Error ("That's not a good prize!") comes from "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".
*"Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." is from the counting song in "[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]".
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [[Character Cards]] that has since been removed from the site.
*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby]] knocks over to let you into [[Naked Ned]]'s cottage.
**Using a broom to play Marzipan's ASCII noise may be an oblique reference to people mistaking her for a broom.
*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. (It has since been changed.) The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the [[Yearbook Character Page]], as does the picture of him inside a giant M.
*The sound effect that plays when The Ugly One appears is taken from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*[[The Ugly One]]'s line and the sound effects for her slapping the King of Town in the face come from [[crazy cartoon]]. (However, she slightly misquotes it: the original line was "I can do it! I ''will'' do it nine times.")
*The powering-down sound that plays just before Bubs walks across the screen is the same sound that plays just before the [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]
*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Bubs' right arm is also about twice as large as usual.
*Bubs' broken JPEG mouth bears the letters "TH." This might be a reference to his other identity, [[The Thnikkaman]].
*During the final glitch scene (just before Bubs "fixes" the computer), the song playing in the background is the intro to "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That A Ghost]]".
*Strong Bad's line during the final glitch scene is taken directly from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The cloud background during the final glitch scene is the same cloud background used in [[New Boots]].
[[Image:virusdthecheat.gif|thumb|Virus'd The Cheat]]
*During the final glitch scene, The Cheat is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
:# The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
:# One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
:# A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
:# Another drawn version from Strong Bad's site.
:# A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
:# And a Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the "fan stuff" part of the [[Museum]].
*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.
**If you look closely (or zoom into the Flash file) the fan is once again mysteriously floating in space, just like when the Tandy 400 blew up.
*Bubs sells the [[Broken Compy Menu|broken Compy 386]] as he does with the [[King of Town Email|broken Tandy 400]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Linux|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:GNU/Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).
*[[Edgarware]] is a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which until 2001 used bespectacled computer nerd [[Wikipedia:Peter Norton|Peter Norton]] as a front man.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "''Spy vs. Spy''" before it melts into the desk. ''[[Wikipedia:Spy vs. Spy|Spy vs. Spy]]'', based on the feature comic of [[Wikipedia:Mad Magazine|MAD Magazine]], was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.
*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, referring to the [[Wikipedia:Onion skinning|Onion skinning]] feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.
*"Click on the monkey" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Pop-up ad|popups]] where if you click said object (ranging from targets to robbers, iPods, etc.), your computer will usually get bombarded with spyware, viruses, etc.
*The dance The Cheat performs when Strong Bad says, "Let's do a dance for the computer genius man," looks like [[Wikipedia:Dana Carvey|Dana Carvey]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Church Lady|Church Lady]]" dance from the classic SNL sketch.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bourgeoisie|Bourgeoise]]," one of the emoticons acting as Strong Sad's head is the term used in [[Wikipedia:Marxism|Marxism]] to describe the upper or middle class that opposed the [[Wikipedia:Proletariat|proletariat]] in the class struggle.
*The "boing" sound heard after EdgarWare finds the viruses sounds like the "all-purpose" sound used in [[Wikipedia:Windows 98|Windows 98]].
*The screen "It's now safe to turn your computer off." is similar to the one displayed when shutting off DOS based Windows platforms (Windows 1.0-Windows 95) The actual message is "It is now safe to turn off your computer."

== DVD Version ==
*The central pop-up (e.g. the one that would actually pop up on the website version) does not appear.
*Unlike all other DVD emails, this has the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]] on the bottom.
*The way the Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly Fanstuff easter eggs work has changed. All three are combined into one easter egg, which goes to the Weekly Fanstuff easter egg, then the Quote of the Week easter egg, and finally the Sketchbook easter egg.
*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]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' This email looks tiny, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It's a funny shape.

'''MIKE:''' It's smaller than the rest, and there's little words at the bottom.

'''MATT:''' This doesn't make any sense to me!

'''MIKE:''' What's going on?

'''MATT:''' S— Oh, no. Strong Bad must have gotten some type of a wirus!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Virus.

'''MATT:''' B— Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' Virus?

'''MATT:''' Oh. I used the German pronunciation.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' K. Um, so this was, uh, this was a— this email was kind of a big— big production.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Took longer than most.

'''MATT:''' A long time in coming.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see— he hasn't used "deleted" on the Lappy yet, now that he has a new computer, has he?

'''MIKE:''' I guess not. I wonder what it looks like when he deletes something on the Lappy.

'''MATT:''' I dunno. "Drop a train on 'em" was from a bad hip-hop song I made in college — ''{Mike laughs}''— where I sampled the soundtrack from a Dirty Harry movie.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good song.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So this, obviously, was, uh, pretty fun to make where you could just kinda put stuff wherever and just...

'''MATT:''' It's more like ''your'' computer is getting the virus than Strong Bad's computer getting the virus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The whole world is getting the virus.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3" up there at the top.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm. There's uh, Strong Sad's head is the, uh, his little emoticons from the uh, his—

'''MATT:''' Strong Sad's Web journal.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad Journal.

'''MATT:''' That was from an unused character page we never made.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something good, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' Make it— Make it funny.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{adopts different tone}'' T— To— ''{normal voice}'' Oh, yeah, weren't we gonna do— I was going to be a character when we did this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Start doing Homestar.

'''MATT:''' All right...

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a lot of me's.

'''MIKE:''' That ''was'' a lot of you's.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike, some of them were old me's that don't look so great.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. I thought you looked pretty good back in the old days.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look bad.

'''MIKE:''' Look Bad!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's a different character.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who was Look Bad again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, what are they doing there? Is he gonna eat that doo-doo shovel?

'''MIKE:''' No, I think was going to take a picture of it, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But he doesn't have a camera, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' But the camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's got a mustache.

'''MIKE:''' The camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He clearly wanted... a doo-doo-stache.

'''MIKE:''' Who's that, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' That looks kinda like Bubs, from Website. But I don't think so. Oh, look, it's ''Pitfall''.

'''MIKE:''' That did happen in ''Pitfall''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' If you flick the on and off switch a lot, you get a little floating Pitfall Harry through the trees!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like The Cheat's little sassy dance there, Homestar. Did you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I did. Hands on hips!

'''MIKE:''' How'd you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I said, "Hands on hips!"

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your leg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That is not my leg! That looks like a shotgun.

'''MIKE:''' Bu—

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That shotgun looks dangerous, Mike. I don't agree with its appearance in this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' You shouldn't play with shotguns, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Did you learn that the hard way?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Penny Hardaway?

'''MIKE:''' I'm allowed to— I'm allowed to draw them, though. Drawing them's no problem.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Drawing them is bad.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Here I come!

'''MIKE:''' See?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! I lost my leg!

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's— Bubs— Bubs has it there.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad looks like he's a little delirious in this part.

'''MIKE:''' He's— He's sad. He's had a great loss. People sometimes act like this... when they're experiencing great losses.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But— Mike, a great loss sounds like a contradiction.

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

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't— I've never had any ''great'' losses.

'''MIKE:''' "Great"— "Great" meaning "large," not meaning—

'''HOMESTAR:''' All my losses are bad losses.

'''MIKE:''' You've never had a great loss?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Except maybe, some pounds. ''{Pause}'' He just really put a hole right through that thing, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Didn't go through the wall, though.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope. ''{whispering}'' Let's get quiet.

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' Okay.

=== Fun Facts ===

* Matt says Strong Bad got a "wirus" and then calls this "the German pronunciation". This is because many native German speakers have difficulty distinguishing the "v" and "w" sounds in English and might thus say "wirus" instead of "virus".
* Homestar demonstrates his ignorance that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible hands or arms]].

Redmond:

Since I can't think of anything else of note to put down here, I'll list some of the edits I've made prior to esablishing a username. Thank goodness for that IP tracker...

In [[old comics]], I noticed everyone had an unusually large nose... Then I realized, usually they didn't have a nose at all! Well, except [[Strong Mad]] and [[The Cheat]]... So I added it to the Fun Facts. Of course, it's been refined several times since then...

After playing [[Peg Strong Sad]] for a while, I began wondering why after 99 points, your score would reset to 10, and not 0 or 100. Then I realized, it didn't reset, it's just limited by the fact that the scoreboard only shows 2 digits, so it shows just the first two. Added that as a separate bullet point; 17 minutes later it was merged with the original comment that the score "resets" to 10.

In [[your friends]], I was the one who sparked the discussion as to ''why'' exacty Hot Fries are supposed to hurt [[Coach Z]]. I made the initial comment in response to the comment that [[Strong Mad]]'s weakness is his knees. I didn't even think about it afterwords, which is why I was not actually a part of that discussion. The original comment was as follows:

*[[Coach Z]]'s weakness appears to be Hot Fries, but this email doesn't tell us why that is.

On [[Main Page 17]], I noticed that [[Stinkoman]] appeared to jump over [[Pan Pan]] if they were on the menu at the same time. I thought that was cute, so I noted it. It was later removed.

A week and a half after the Big Nose incident of aught four's [[old comics]], I noticed that [[Strong Mad]]'s easter egg still hadn't been quoted, so I quoted it. I forgot to capitalize the whole thing to give it that real "Strong Mad" feel, but that was later corrected.

Biggest mistake ever: In [[vacation]], I thought "Monkey D" was a reference to the One Piece character of the same name, not [[Monkey Dude]]. D'oh!

Stlunko gonna pound you!! Shoot the wall on top of Stlunko's head to send him packing. His fists hurt you, but you can't hurt thems.

''"Stlunko need a reason to live"
-Stlunko, 404''

===Level 4 - Fisticuff!===

Use some giant hand to protect 1up the extra man!

'''POORBT''' - Man! 'Poorbt' is hard to say! This guy shoots straight from the fist.

'''GOKUL''' - Dear Throbbing Mass, If you gotta go, gokul.

'''GASPEAU''' - Gaspeau flies in like a lion and out like Gaspeau!

'''PINK CHAM CHAM''' - STAY AWAY FROM CHAM CHAM! He's rolled in coconut and highly delicious.

'''FROTZER''' - If you think Frotzer is different from Gaspeau, that's okay.

'''1UP''' - Apparently you've gotta save this guy. (No, there aren't five of them in real life! Jeez! Quit writing already!)

====Boss 4 - Saargtsson====

Saargtsson rarely plays fair. He'll often employ the help of his firey hot friend, Firey-Hot. Smash his tail bit by bit by bit by bit until he doesn't have a head to stand on. Watch out for those fierce laser blasts and you'll be sure to have a blast with Saargtsson.

(GRAPHICS TOO AWESOME TO BE DEPICTED)

''"Saargtsson is an equal opportunity employer." Saargtsson-Bosch, GmbH''

===Level 5 - Oh the Moon!===
1up takes matters into this own torso!

'''ASTROMUND''' - This little astro style mund has a shield that can't be beat! Or maybe it's a trashcan lid.

'''THE BENDINI SISTERS''' - This family of asteroids are meteors! Hit the breaks when you feel them comin in the air tonight. Hold on!

'''DOWNTANT''' - This guy thinks you killed his Browntant cousin. Well, DID YOU?!?! Better think twice, or pay the price. UPTANT sold seperately.

'''PIEDMONT''' - At least little Piedmont knows how to keep a guy laughing. This little comedian scans for intruders and open mic nights with a hot fry lamp!

====Boss 5 - Nebulon====
Nebulon's been working out and it shows. He's had it with scenes and cliques. He's ready to be accepted for WHO HE IS!!

''"Another green salad, another iced tea..." -Nebulon''

===Level 6 - Stratosfear!===
Stinkoman is back in style and vacationing in the clouds where he can challenge all the plugs and saws he wants! Is it getting warmer in here?!?

'''PORCHI''' - This round-about lives inside the clouds, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his IPO. Incision Puncture OUCH! Yeah, he's invincible.

'''STAFULTER''' - Man, can't you kill ANYTHING on this level? This flying plug-duck saunters around like it's goin outta style!

'''POSTLETHWAITE''' - A gloomy, dark cloud, ol' P-thwaite is real jealous of the pink clouds and zaps them to and fro! Don't get caught in the middle of this domestic cloud-spute!!

'''PROTEK''' - Watch out for the 3-pronged, 2-prong attack! Take out his cord first, then go for the face!

'''HASH-HAW''' - What kind of a name is Hash-haw for anyone to have anyway? Time your jumps! Take your lumps!

====Boss 6 - The Liekand====
You will probably not be able to beat this guy. I'm sorry. He is a truly great warrior with firm resolve and sweet shades. And I mean, come on, he shoots bubbles. BUBBLES!

''"Fashion first, ask sections later." -The Liekand''

===Level 7 - Ice 2 Meet U===
Someone zapped Stinkoman with red button lightning, and now he's freezing it off in the Ice Zone! Remember to keep the faucet running or your pipes will burst!

'''MY BENJ''' - These little cuties are hoppin mad! They gather in groups and have roundtable discussions about all things kill-Stinkoman. Aim low, sweet chariot!

'''STOTHOS''' - Part tank, part tank robot, Stothos shoots both ways and hopes to get into a good school. Shoot. Jump. Repeat!

'''FULLBIDE''' - Fullbide has one of the best names in this game. Better than Chorch or Tortan even! He'll swoop down on Stinkoman from either side and spin around like he belongs in a top-down shooter!

'''SEEPER MO''' - These ice crystals will stop at nothing. Stinkoman better think seriously about jumping o'er thems.

'''DITMARS''' - Contrary to this drawing, Ditmars is NOT a tree and a blanket. She is a vent that shoots froze-jets that will turn you into town square!

'''BIZTAR''' - Aw, man, Biztar didn't do nothin'. Come on, let's go.

====Boss 7 - An Ice Machine====
An Ice Machine shoots ice and frozen style at you. Cryptic messages in the sand. Shoot him in the eyes like most bosses in this game.

''"LOOK! I'M TRYING! OKAY?!" -An Ice Machine''

===Level 8 - Negatory===
DON'T BLOW INTO YOUR CARTRIDGE!! YOUR GAME PAK IS NOT BROKE! Stinkoman has just been zapped into the fabled Negative Zone where everything is screwed up. Ump is down and black is right in this crazy, mixed-up label. Don't trust your senses! Only quick timing and short tempers can get our hero out of this one. Negative great!

====Boss 8 - Ekersby====
Poor Ekersby. He's a jumble of good, good graphics from the rest of the game. Don't let his ham-heartedness get you down!

''"You were NEVER there for me." - Ekersby''

===Level 9 - Turbolence===
Stinkoman hops inside his mostly cool ship, The Stinkowing, hoping to take a shortcut through an evil jungle. But the mysterious challenger sends out an entire seafood platter. Man the tartar cannons!!

'''PRUDENCH''' - Peeled, deveined, and totally INSANE! These skrimps are butterflied and ready to die. Great with butter but I prefer ceviche!

'''DOLMERLAY''' - This is a robotic clam but that's just between you and me. Dolmy's shell will deflect your shots, but get him talking about work or his kids and it's all over.

'''ROLDHAP''' - These anemones are always firing their mouths off. LITERALLY! Watch out for their stinging mouth shots. The red light knows all and tells all!

'''SEMULADE''' - These shark-ships fear no Stinko and will hurl themselves at our hero after a moment's rest. Head down, power through!

'''FUNDLAKE''' - You can shoot a Fundlake, boh yes, but a Fundlake will come back. Shoot late, hurry on!

'''SACKASTANO''' - These goldfish ships travel in schools! Be careful after 1st period or they'll try and sell you an elevator pass!

'''QUORVEKT''' - That is a great drawing of a stingray with guns on it. I really like the perspective. This might be my favorite drawing in this manual. hard2kill.

'''BROODACRE''' - A jungle-ized bolcano with extra rocks! Broody has 2 flaming boulders to juggle. Get all up in his business and figure out that pattern!

'''REID''' - Reids are punk jellyfish with high GPA's. They ALWAYS travel single file except when it is determined that they are NOT traveling single file. Watch for their trademark Reid-thrust!

====Boss 9 - Harvax XVII====

Named after the moon on which he was born, Harvax XVII is a small but speedy octopus or squid. His ink attacks won't come off so dodge carefully. His beak just might hold the key.

''"That description is ALL WRONG!" -Harvax XVII''

===Giving Up Already?!===

Stinkoman must be ashamed of you! Get back in the game and try out these rules and hints!!

*play the game every day, even after mom says no 
*new and exciting recipes 
*hold B 
*ask your parents 
*walk and talk 
*table the label! wear your own brand!

== Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Gmbh|GmbH]] is the German acronym for "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung", literally translating as "Company with limited liability", and roughly comparable to the abbreviations "Ltd." or "LLC."

===Remarks===
*[[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies#Bosses|Ekersby]] has a [[:Image:hamheart.png|ham for a heart]], just as it is shown that [[The King of Town]] does (in [[Halloween Fairstival]]).
*The description for [[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies#Bosses|Harvax XVII]] matches that of an enemy in level 9 not shown in the Stinkomanual.

===Goofs===
*When version 5 (up to level 7) of the game was first released, the level 6 portion of the Stinkomanual mysteriously vanished (and no level 7 portion was put in its place.) It was replaced later in the day.
*When Level 9 was first released, Levels 6, 7, and -0 mysteriously disappeared on some computers.
*The manual lists Level 3 as "Up'N'Down", while its true title is "Dumb Wall".

===Inside-References===
*In the Level 6 section another mention of [[Ducks]] is used.

===Real-World References===
*The description of the Bendini Sisters refers to the [[Wikipedia:Phil Collins|Phil Collins]] song [http://www.philcollins.co.uk/air.htm "In the Air Tonight"].
* The phrase "Table the Label" is from a hilariously bad motivational video hosted by Mr. T called "[http://www.agonybooth.com/mr_t/ Be Somebody or be Somebody's Fool!]"
*Postlethwaite is likely named after [[IMDb:nm0000592|Pete Postlethwaite]], an actor best remembered from the film "The Usual Suspects" from the early 1990s.
*"Another green salad, another iced tea" is a lyric from [http://www.xs4all.nl/~bigron/sonic/sylgoo.html#02 "Tunic (Song For Karen)"] by [[Wikipedia:Sonic Youth|Sonic Youth]].
*Gokul's description holds a line from [[Wikipedia:Leonard Bernstein|Leonard Bernstein's]] musical ''[[Wikipedia:West Side Story|West Side Story]]''.
*The quote on Saargtsson's page is attributed to Saargtson-Bosch GmbH. [http://www.bosch.com/content/language2/html/index.htm Robert Bosch GmbH] is an actual German company.
*The phrase "aim low, sweet chariot" in the My Benj entry is a reference to the song [[Wikipedia:Swing Low, Sweet Chariot|Swing Low, Sweet Chariot]].
*Gaspeau's description "In like a lion and out like Gaspeau" refers to the saying, "In like a lion, out like a lamb."
*In the description for level 8/-0, the Stinkomanual advises you not to blow into your cartridge. This refers mainly to the original [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo system]], which was extremely sensitive to dust. One of the most popular ways to "fix" a game that had dust collect in it was to blow into it.
*The negatory world is a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:Minus World|minus world]] in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], which was a glitch world obtained through jumping through a wall in world 1-2, explaining the quote "IN SIDE A WALL!!"
*In the Level 9 intro cutscene, Stinkoman whistles for his ship to bypass traversing through the "evil jungle". The whistling noise may be a reference to the Warp Whistle item from Super Mario Bros. 3. The use of this whistle allowed the player to warp to a "higher" world without progressing through all of the levels required to reach it.
*"Hold B" is likely another reference to Super Mario Bros., in which holding B causes Mario to run faster.

Talk:Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items

Redmond — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 23:47:27 GMT

Redmond: /* Harvax XVII */

This page is a mess. There's already the manual transcript. Is this needed? --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 05:11, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

I think it is a necessity for a Homestar Encyclopedia, especially with actual pictures of the characters, and possible strategies. --[[User:Dex|Dex]] 06:45, 24 Mar 2005 (CST)

*Alright, but it needs MAJOR work. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 07:19, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

I'll start adding pics. --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 09:44, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

I'd appreciate it if someone would turn this into a table. I have no idea how to do it.--[[User:Lord Pikachon|It's-a me]]

:I don't see how this could be turned into a table and look nice. I think it's fine as it is, but if you could describe what you're thinking about, I'd be happy to do it. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Well, we could divide it through the levels, and one section could be the image, the next could be the name, and the last could be how to a description and how to kill it.

:Oh, I see what you're saying. I'll get to work on it! →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Thank you.--[[User:Lord Pikachon|The guy who's name you know]]

Oh, and I'd also like to thank 207.177.0.9, for doing so much work on the page.

Don't mention it, I needed to kill an hour, but would someone please find an accurate number of how many shots it takes to kill those things. Wow, now that I look at this, I should have stopped by here earlier, could've sped the whole thing up a lot. And thanks to that dude thats adding pics, but whoever made the table got rid of a pic, might want to fix that..... That didn't take long. Maybe you could include what levels the enemies are found in in the table.

:Yeah, I got sort of lost during that. If you'd like to add them, go ahead. If you need any help, just ask me or anyone else. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Could you add a New Colum for me, After description, entitled 'In Level(s)' otherwise I'll add it to the discription.

:Done. To add to it, simply put a space after the description, then add "||", another space, and then the level. Good luck! →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Thanks, got that done, but somethings up with the Stobat

:I fixed it.→[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Thanks, I think my part in this is done, at least until they add more levels, 'cause I can't do anything about the pictures.

I should be working right now, so naturally I'll go snap some shots of the un-pictured baddies. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 11:07, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)
:Okay, looks like just about everything is in place now. Also added a couple of hazards which weren't in the manual, and the items from level 3.2. I didn't remember if the spork things showed up in level 2.1 or 2.2, so if someone could go fix that up, that'd be great. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 12:54, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

Um, aren't the Greggo thingys supposed to imitate that enemy with the construction helmet in the old Megaman games? I think it was called Metall. Exact same behavior. Boos only moved if you weren't looking in their direction, but Greggos seem to move until you make direct eye contact on their plane. [[User:weirdguy|weirdguy]]

*They're Mets, and maybe. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 11:48, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

*I'm positive it's a reference to Metools, seeing as the entire game's graphic system is based off of the old Megaman games. The only difference is the Metools would try to shoot at you, and that was when their weak spot was shown. That was always a pretty bad design on Dr. Wily's behalf. [[User:Nevrmore|Nevrmore]] 10:11, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

I love how the smaller, automatically-generated thumbnail image for Stlunko is about twice as big filesize-wise as the original, larger picture. [[User:sekhmet|sekhmet]] 14:48, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Images==
I think an effort should be made to make all the images the same width. As it stands now, it makes my eyes hurt. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 17:49, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

:I agree. Same width = page format goodness.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:00, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Me and my brother helped make a new Stobat image. I think we did it in a way that could be copied by all other regular enemies: made 100 pixels long (height variable), transparent background and (if wanted) an animated gif. Anyways, I wouldn't mind making some more baddies like this if other people like it. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 14:21, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

== That Flower Guy ==

Thanks to a certain...level editor...I have found out that the fireball requires 3-4 hits to destroy. Should I add that? --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 17:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) P.S. I don't remember if it was 3 hits or 4...

== Bluetant ==

Should we really include a separate entry for "Bluetant"? After the Stinkomanual update, it's still not listed, and it is identical to Browntant aside from color. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:12, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I already did that. {{Stongbah}}

:But it really doesn't need to be there, since it's just a Browntant with a different color. I say go with Jay's idea. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 18:22, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, my comment is that we DON'T need a Bluetant entry, and shortly after writing this, I erased "Bluetant" and just merged it with "Browntant". "Bluetant" is not an official name, and the enemy is identical to Browntant in everything except color. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:45, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
:::I put bluetant as a seperate entry originally since I thought it would be in the manual when it was updated, possibly with a reference to the browntant as the up/downtant had. It wasn't, so I agree with Jay's decision here --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 00:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== Frotzer And Gaspeau? ==

How do you people know which is Frotzer and which is Gaspeau?[[User:209.104.139.221|209.104.139.221]]

Actually I think that the blue one is Gaspeau since it's the one that "Flies in like a lion and out like gaspeau" the red one simply flies back and forth. I don't really think it matters that much though. [[User:PAUAU|PAUAU]]

:When I made the walkthrough I just guessed, really. For some reason the connotations of "Frotzer" seem more "blue" to me... I was probably linking it mentally with the word "frost". <s>However I've since opened up the Flash file in a [http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/ decompiler], and Frotzer is definately the blue one.</s> {{User:phlip/sig}} 15:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't be so sure. Notice in the level 4 object library, it says '''Gaspeau trigger''' and not '''Frotzer Trigger'''. The blue ones are triggered by your progress, while the red ones just stay in the same spot the whole time until you kill them. But I still think frotzer is blue for some reason. I guess that's just the way I thought it at first, and that's the way I like it I suppose..., --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 17:49, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I'd just like to say I think Gaspeau is the red one 'cause it appears first in both the game and manual.

To add on that, Chorches come before Greggoes and Greggoes come first. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]

:Wow, I don't know what I was thought I saw when I did the decompiley thingy, I just checked again, and the blue one is definately "EnemyGaspeau". Plus the trigger is labelled "Gaspeau Trigger" as DLS said. The word "Frotzer" isn't anywhere in the game internals, the red guy is just Chorch with a different appearance, so it just flies back and forth like Chorch. Umm... yeah. So I guess I'll go change them all now. Sorry guys. {{User:phlip/sig}} 13:17, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::All done, I think. Still no idea why I thought they were vice-versa. {{User:phlip/sig}} 13:32, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

The red one is Gaspeau and the blue one is Frotzer beacause if you do a google search for Gaspeau and Frotzer the Red one is Gaspeau and the blue is Frotzer. [[User:Fullbide|Fullbide]]

:Yeah, Google is the worlds best source. Don't argue with the facts. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 18:54, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

:The only (relevant) Google Images results for Gaspeau and Frotzer come from HRWiki - so since we were wrong to start with, Google is wrong since it's based on what we said. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 20:11, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

== Cabbage ==

The cabbage thingy ''is'' in all versions of the object library, not just the first one. It is just not in the main scene after the first. So quit changing it. Get a flash decompiler if you don't believe me. {{User:phlip/sig}} 00:19, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well, I don't see him in level 4, 5, or 6 object libraries. Only the first one. Show me where he is in all these other versions. Cause right now, I don't believe you. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 17:44, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

He said that it isn't in the main scene. If you've got a Flash decompiler, see sprite 386 in the v5 object library. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 07:06, 7 July 2005 (BST)

What the hell is a Flash Decompiler? --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 19:10, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:A Flash decompiler is something that disassembles the elements of a Flash (swf) file, and allows the individual objects to be exported as necessary. And just by poking around in the objectlibrary.swf file, it is very easy to see that the cabbage is still in there. If you're still confused, try [http://www.google.com Googling] "Flash decompiler". --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:31, 9 July 2005

== Full Bide? ==
One of the new enemies names is Full Bide. Most likely the laser shooting one. --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 14:15, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: Where did you find this? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:27, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: Never mind. I see it now. The object library. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:28, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: That said, since it reads "Full Bide ''Trigger''" (emphasis mine) it's probably the "Yellow Ship", not the "Laser Robot" --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:27, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Told you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:51, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Blue disapaering clouds ==

Shouldn't these be in obstacles?
They were a big part of level 6...

I agree. — {{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 15:11, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Clean Up ==

*All the images need to be transparent and the same size.
{{User:FireBird/sig}} 22:23, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== The yellow dot things ==

They look alot like Gels from the Legend of Zelda series, should this be mentioned?

Should we add that Stafulter can be killed with a [http://www.fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Stinkoman_20X6_-_CHEAT_VERSION certain cheat program]? And also, that cabbage-type-dude appears in [http://www.fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Stinkoman_20X6_-_CUSTOM_LEVELS some custom levels] on the fanstuff wiki. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 18:45, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

By the way, I think GIFs are way better than PNGs. Why not make every picture into a gif? It would look alot better. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 18:46, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:There should be no mentions of cheat programs on this page. Cheat programs are unofficial fanstuff. Also, pngs are a preferable image format UNLESS you are doing animation. While I agree animated gifs would be the most appropriate for this page, until animated gifs are made of all the enemies, we should stick with png. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:22, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Green things==
*Should it be noted that the green capsules resemble the poison mushrooms from the Mario game the lost Levels? {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Maybe. They do look and seem alot like poison 'shrooms.. — {{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 15:12, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Stobat==

Something is wrong with the stobat. He looks kinda orange instead o' yellow. And shouldn't the bones be in the animated gif along with him? --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 15:16, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Cabbage-like thing ==

The balls from the cabbage-thing resembles the Poorbts fists. That means nothing, but my theory is, that it was unused foliage but taken out because it looked like an enemy. Possibly an earlier enemy or is it nothing to worry about? --[[User:Dinoshaur|Dinoshaur]] 10:37, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Um, I'd say that they're unused stuff, or they're going to be on another level. --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 01:34, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== The letter P ==
In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, you need to get a P (The letter, duh) to fill in the name of an enemy so you can defeat him... could the P you collect in 3.2 be a refrence? --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 01:34, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Probably not -- I think it's just the usual TBC absurdism.--[[User:151.203.182.181|151.203.182.181]] 05:32, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Harvax XVII ==

Has it been brought to anyone's attention that the description of Harvax (small but speedy squid or octopus) aptly describes the "unknown" enemy in Level 9? --[[User:Redmond|Redmond]] 22:40, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>blinks twice* Actually, I didn't notice that until just this moment. Wow, you're pretty sharp. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
Also, the unknown enemies seem to fly in pairs in a circular pattern. I already changed the description to say this, so if anyone wants to comment on that, may as well do it here. --[[User:Redmond|Redmond]] 23:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items

Redmond — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 23:45:26 GMT

Redmond: /* Enemies */

There are an abundance of enemies in the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
== Enemies ==
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Name !! Image !! Description !! Shots to kill !! Level
|-
| Jaro || align="center" | [[Image:jaro.PNG]] || '''Jaro''' is a cuplike robot that can't attack, besides jumping on you. It is destroyed by blasting it once. || 1 || 1,5,6,-0
|-
| Greggo || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-greggo.gif]] || '''Greggo''' is a robot who walks back and forth along the platform he's on. He is a little bit tricky, because if you are looking at him, he will crouch down and become immobile and indestructible. When unguarded, one shot will take him out. One strategy for defeating him is to get on lower ground and jump, shoot, then quickly turn around. However that can be a tad tricky, and you can accomplish the same thing by facing him, shooting, and '''then''' jumping (timing your jump to where your shot will hit him when your above him). The easiest strategy was to walk up close to him while he's defending and physically punch him. That ''used'' to kill him instantly but has been changed/fixed. Alternatively, fire a shot at him and then walk away from him - he will stop crouching and the shot will kill him. An easier way is to run up next to him, then face the other way. '''Quickly''' turn around and fire simultaneously. Then he should die. || 1 || 1,-0
|-
| Browntant || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-browntant.png]] [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-bluetant.gif]] || '''Browntant''' is an robot that won't move. It will try to shoot you but you can jump over his shots. He also likes to shoot at you while you're on a ladder, but you should be able to just duck under his shots and dart up and get him. It takes 3 hits to kill, but is invincible while flashing between hits. If you walk far enough away that it leaves the screen, its damage will heal and you will have to hit it another 3 times. A blue variety can be found in levels 6 and -0 but it is no different from the normal-colored variety. || 3 || 1,2,5,6, -0
|-
| Chorch || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-chorch.gif]] || '''Chorch''' is a horizontally-flying robot that will try to pinch you. Don't touch him or you'll take damage. Sometimes he floats low above the ground, but usually he floats in mid-air. He always follows the same route back and forth, making him ridiculously predictable. Shoot him once and he'll explode. || 1 || 1,2,5,6, -0
|-
| Kolkaryu || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-kolkaryu.gif]] || '''Kolkaryu''' is a little flying saucer that appears out of the sky in specific places. He flies in, stops, shoots two bursts of four bullets diagonally downward, and then leaves. He won't chase you, and once he flies away, he's gone for good. You can't damage him, so don't try. When he appears, jump out of range or stand directly underneath him where his bullets do not reach.|| inv. || 1,2,5,-0
|-
| Pooru-Pooru || align="center" | [[Image:Pooru-Pooru.png]] || '''Pooru-Pooru''' is a spiky cyborg cucumber. Don't confuse it with a cactus. It is planted firmly into the ground and doesn't move. It will sit around, usually in a group, waiting for some unfortunate fellow to fall on it. Touching this plant will hurt Stinkoman, and there is no way to damage it, so it's best to just leave it alone.|| inv. || 1,2,3,-0
|-
| Old Sage || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-old_sage.png]] || '''Old Sage''' is a spike that is usually found in a group. They stay still, either resting on the ground or hanging on the ceiling. If they're over you, don't jump. If they're under you, don't fall. If you happen to touch one, you will die, regardless of how much energy you have. While fighting Ekersby, Old Sages only cost you one unit of energy.|| inv. || 1,2,4,5,7, -0
|-
| Terrell || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-terrell-ground.png]] [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-terrell-jump.png]] || '''Terrell''' is just the head of a chicken that likes to bounce around. One hit and he's gone. || 1 || 2,-0
|-
| Grundy || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-grundy.gif]] || '''Grundy''' is a wingless chicken wearing running shoes. He walks back and forth on the platform he is on, occasionally speeding up and slowing down. In level 2.2, there are two Grundys moonwalking. You can kill him in one easy shot, so he's a minor nuisance at best. || 1 || 2,-0
|-
| Stobat || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-stobat.gif]] || '''Stobat''' is a fat chicken with no visible feet. It has an infinite amount of bones inside its body to spit out at you and will spit three at a time. The bones shoot very close to each other, and the best strategy is to get out of range of the third and longest-reaching shot. You have a larger range than the Stobat, so once you get a safe distance away, shoot him. A Stobat takes four hits to kill, and like Browntant, is invincible while flashing red. || 4 || 2,-0
|-
| Rose Blake || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-rose_blake.png]] || '''Rose Blake''' is an electric burner. Don't stand on them when they're white-hot and flashing, but the cool-down time is safe. Learning their patterns is helpful. || inv. || 2,-0
|-
| Lundsford || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-lundsford.png]] || '''Lundsford''' is a gas flame that comes from ovens. You can learn their habits and stay out of reach by staying at the very edge of the oven. They may be walked on when turned off, but this is unsafe. || inv. || 2,-0
|-
| Tortan || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-tortan.png]] || '''Tortan''' is a bottle of itself according to the [[Stinkomanual]]. It is a green liquid that usually leaks out of bottles (of itself) and will damage you. || inv. || 2
|-
| Clowder || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-clowder.png]] || '''Clowder''' is a cloud with helicopter propellers on him. You cannot kill him, so just avoid him. As of the addition of level 9, Clowders no longer have propellors. || inv. || 3
|-
| Mr. Ubbers || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-mrubbers.gif]] || '''Mr. Ubbers''' is an angry raindrop that drops down from above in stage 3.1. It can't hurt Stinkoman at all; in fact, touching him does absolutely nothing. He actually does more good than bad. If you punch him, he will disappear in a splash and a gold nugget will fly out. Collecting these nuggets lets you win the level. || 1 || 3
|-
| Poorbt || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-poorbt.png]] || '''Poorbt''' is a robot that runs on occasionally in level 4 and shoot his fist at you. It appears a set time after Stinkoman reaches a certain spot, rather than being in a fixed position. Put your big fist between you and it and you won't be harmed. You can kill him with your fist, but that doesn't seem to achieve much. If you are standing under a lava-fall with your fist straight up, you can press a or s to swing your fist down and block his attack. || 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Gokul || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-gokul.png]] || '''Gokul''' is a pile of junk and red goo that lies in waiting to attack 1-Up. Kill him by crushing him with rocks sent down by your mighty fist. || 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Frotzer || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-frotzer.png]] || '''Frotzer''' is a seeker drone that flies around, back-and-forth, to attack 1-Up. Kill him in the same way as Gokul. He may also appear in level 6.2. || 1 || 4,6,-0
|-
| Pink Cham Cham || align="center" | [[Image:pinkchamcham.gif]] || '''Pink Cham Cham''' is a double-ended laser gun rolled in green coconut. It fires two lasers upwards at Stinkoman, one from each shooter. The lasers don't hurt your fist so you can hold that over it to kill it, while keeping Stinkoman himself out of the laser's range. || 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Gaspeau || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-gaspeau.png]] || '''Gaspeau''' is basically a blue Frotzer that only moves in one direction and is triggered by Stinkoman's progress like Poorbt. Unlike Frotzer, Gaspeau isn't limited in flying distance, so stop it as soon as you see it.|| 1 || 4,-0
|-
| Astromund || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-astromund.gif|center]] || '''Astromund''' will run after 1-Up in Level 5. His shield means he cannot be kicked from the front - jump over him and then either kick him from behind or ignore him - he won't turn around. In Level -0, the shield won't work on Stinkoman. You can just shoot them. || 1 || 5,-0
|-
| The Bendini Sisters || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-bendinisister.png|center]] || '''The Bendini Sisters''' are meteors that fall regularly on the moon. Dodge them or kick them, but don't let them hit you. There are regular Bendini Sisters in level -0, but occasionally, they are replaced with mock-glitchy arrow platforms (which otherwise behave in an identical manner). || 1 || 5,-0
|-
| Downtant/Uptant || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-uptant.gif|center]] || '''Downtants''' and '''Uptants''' are related to the Browntant. They only take two hits to kill, but shoot five shots at a time, in different directions: two shots are fired horizontally in both directions, two shots are fired perfectly diagonally in both directions and one shot straight is fired up or down, depending on how it is positioned. || 2 || 5,-0
|-
| Piedmont || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-piedmont.gif|center]] || '''Piedmont''' is a scanner that fires deadly beams of light underneath him. You can't hurt it so dash under him while it is inactive. Touching Piedmont while it's inactive actually won't hurt you. || inv. || 5,-0
|-
| Stafulter || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-plug.gif]] || '''Stafulter''' flies around in a fixed pattern, and it can be avoided. It is invulnerable to your shots.  || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| Protek || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-socket.png]] || '''Protek''' jumps up and down on the spot. After taking two hits, his cord will disappear and he will be left sitting on the ground. Now he will shoot electric bolts at you, one from each socket - you have to jump over each of these separately, landing between them before jumping again. In simpler terms, jump a second before the first lightning bolt reaches you, and you will land *just* in front of the second bolt, ready to easily jump it. 3 more shots and he will be dead. Like Browntant and Stobat, he is invincible when flashing red. || 5 || 6,-0
|-
| Postlethwaite || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-cloud.gif]] || '''Postlethwaite''' is not as friendly as the other clouds. Having gotten sick of Stinkoman spending his vacations running around on top of him, this cloud wants revenge. Avoid his lightning bolt at all costs, though he himself is safe to touch between strikes. || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| Porchi || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-blade.gif|center]] || '''Porchi''' is a buzzsaw that comes out of the clouds at regular intervals. It can't be harmed, so run under it or jump over it when it's retracted. || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| Hash-Haw || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-saw.gif|center]] || '''Hash-Haw''' is a saw blade that rises and lowers while moving back and forth. Like Porchi, your best bet is to run under it or jump over it. You should jump over it as it moves towards you. || inv. || 6,-0
|-
| My Benj || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanBlob.PNG|center]] || '''My Benj''' move around randomly on their platforms. They can be destroyed with one hit, but their small size makes them difficult to kill. || 1 || 7,-0
|-
| Stothos || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanRobot.PNG|center]] || '''Stothos''' Are tank robots that move back and forth across their platforms. At set intervals, they will fire a laser straight forward (alternating the direction with each shot.) The lasers must be jumped if they are headed in Stinkoman's direction, but they are high enough to make avoidance difficult. The robots take three hits to kill, and like other similar enemies, they are invulnerable for a moment after a hit. || 3 || 7,-0
|-
| Fullbide || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanShip.PNG|40PX|center]] || '''Fullbide''' flies at Stinkoman when he enters their territory, in a zig-zag pattern. It can be killed in one hit, but if it isn't killed and Stinkoman doesn't leave the area, another will appear shortly. || 1 || 7,-0
|-
| Ditmars || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanFreeze.PNG|50px|center]] || '''Ditmars''' will freeze Stinkoman temporarily, causing you to lose control of him and ultimately costing him a unit of energy. They cannot be destroyed. || inv. || 7
|-
| Seeper Mo || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanBush.PNG|center]] || '''Seeper Mo''' are essentially the same as Pooru-Pooru; you can't kill it, it doesn't move, and touching it costs you a unit of energy. Jump over them, but if many are grouped together, be careful not to slide into the next. || inv. || 7,-0
|-
| Biztar || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanIce.PNG|100PX|center]] || '''Biztar''' are ordinary platforms or obstacles that can be destroyed if Stinkoman hits them six times. || 6 || 7,-0
|-
| ''Unknown'' || align="center" | [[Image:Unreleased_StinkoBaddie.PNG]] || This enemy is a cabbage-like creature that opens up and shoots out two red balls. Only the red ball it shoots to its left will hurt Stinkoman, the one it shoots to its right is harmless. It has only made an appearance in the glitch level -0, although it has been in the object library since the original version. It is only vulnerable while it is open. || 1 || -0
|-
| Prudench || align="center" | [[Image:Stinkogame-Enemy-Prudench.PNG]] || A '''Prudench''' is a flying shrimp that attacks in schools. Kill it with one hit. || 1 || 9

|-
| Trapdoor || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-trapdoor.gif|center]] || '''Trapdoor''' is a platform that alternates between safe...and not safe. Get on the moment it flips up.

|-
| Spork || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-spork-down.png]] [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-spork-up.png]] || '''Sporks''' come up out of the ground in a cycle, and will hurt you even when it's down. Jump over it while the spork isn't in attack mode. || 2,-0
|-
| Lava-fall || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-lavafall.png|center]] || '''Lava-falls''' are prevalent in the Lava Zone, and you must block them with your fist to prevent 1-Up from getting cooked. In level -0, they do nothing. || 4,-0
|-
| Tiles and Platforms || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-tile.png|center]] [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-platform.png|center]] || Jump on a '''tile''' to move the '''platform'''.

Also, in level -0, both appear in another form; Tiles act as teleporters, while the graphics for Platforms act as occasional replacements for The Bendini Sisters. || 4,-0
|-
| Retractable Ladder || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanLadder.PNG|center]] || '''Retractable Ladders''', as their name implies, retract, often rendering them temporarily out of reach.

|-
|Extra Life || align="center" | [[Image:StinkomanLife.PNG|center]] || '''Extra lives''' give you one extra life.

| Tampo || align="center" | [[Image:stinkogame-enemy-tampo.png]] || The weak point of '''Tampo''' is cerebellum (the darker colored, lower part of the brain). You can only hit it when it comes near the ground, and you'll need to jump. It starts by coming to the lower right. Stand just in range and shoot it, but make sure you're on the ground when his shots reach you, they shouldn't come close. He will then float to the top-right. You want to be closer to the left edge of the screen to be able to jump this shot. Now run to the right, about mid-screen. Tampo will do the exact same thing on the left, then will return and repeat. Tampo takes 7 hits to kill. The more hits it takes, the faster it gets, so be careful. More info can be found [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1#Level 1 Boss: Tampo (Guide)|here]].|| 7 || 1

After shooting a few ice cubes (he will shoot 3 cubes if he is on full health or has 6 or 4 hits left; 4 cubes if he has 5, 3 or 1 hits left; and 2 cubes if he has 2 hits left), he will remove the jets and shoot ice into the air, resulting in icicles falling from the sky. His weak spot is his eyes like most bosses. You can only shoot him in the eyes when he's preparing the icicles. 7 hits will a splode him for good. More info can be found [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7#Level 7 Boss: An Ice Machine (Guide)|here]]. || 7 || 7

Hey! I see by you user contributions you're not exactly new, but I hate to see a blank talk page. Welcome... um, ''back'' to the wiki! Let me know if I can be of service; my usual welcome message has all kinds of helpful links (though you probably know your way around already). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Woo! A pair of Abis and a Vikla--err, wait, that's not right... Seriously, I would say that I'm sorta-new at the time of this posting, as I've only noted two things so far; the second was today: I noticed the description for Harvax matched the unkown enemy of Level 9. Woo. Otherwise, I'm a lurker, for the most part. I might post every one in a while, but... don't hold your breath. God knows you need it to laugh during the HR cartoons. --[[User:Redmond|Redmond]] 22:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

==Splitting even the small pages==
Jay, did you REALLY have to split the email pages that had only one or two fun facts? That just makes things a lot more cluttered as far as layout goes. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 10:16, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

: Yes I did. Consistency. And it's not THAT cluttered, compared to the way that the newer emails used to be. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 10:45, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

Dear Jay,

Did you know So and So's t-shirt has Strong Sad's face on it?

WOW! NO WAY! I hadn't noticed that! In no way is that already in the transcript that I wrote the first draft of in the first place! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:15, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Updating standards ==

Hi there Jay. If you're still up for it, you can add those fun fact changes to the [[HRWiki:Standards]] page. I think that might ease your frustrations a bit.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:36, 26 Jan 2005 (MST)

== I apologize ==
Ok, look Jay, I'm sorry I crapped up the sightings page. I might be able to save it. I saved the page before I edited it, like I always do. I think I can copy everything on that page I saved and paste it over the text I crapped up. It's risky, but it's worth a shot. [[User:unknown|unknown]] 3/22/05 10:01

:It has already been reverted. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:19, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Labor Dabor modification ==

The reason "SPARE!" is a phrase instead of a word is because it has punctuation (the exclamation mark) as part of it. Words don't come with any punctuation attached to them, which is why I thought it should be referred to as a phrase as opposed to a word. Just for the sake of backing up my argument, I'd like to say that it IS possible for a phrase to consist of just one word.

That is to say, if it had just been "SPARE", then I would certainly agree with you that it was just a word. -- [[User:Whybrid|Whybrid]] 15:07, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

== Pom Pom is a Player. ==

Much of the humor of Pom Pom revolves around the idea that he is a real ladies man. I feel very sure that this...

"*When Homestar says that some lady gave Pom Pom a hundred bucks, it is likely a reference to the house that was giving out change, as mentioned in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]]."

... is not correct. It has nothing to do with The House that Gave Sucky Treats

How would it be appropriate to say that one of Pom Pom's many "girlfriends" gave him money for some mysterious reason? The brothers Chaps are trying to be risqué here, but how much does hrwiki want the implications of their suggestiveness to be spelled out?
: Because Pom Pom's many girlfriends live on the Isle of Pom, of course! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:20, 10 Apr 2005 (MDT)

== Fun Fact Deletion ==

Comment: Take it easy on the 'fun fact deletion'. Someone thought it was worthwhile enough to type in.
--R
:Please don't take it personally if I delete a Fun Fact. There are lots of reasons I might delete one.
:# It's already on the page somewhere.
:# It doesn't add anything to the article.
:# It's outright wrong.
:# It's currently on the STUFF page.
:I suspect it was a #2 that you're talking about. Believe me, I'm a lot less picky about what Fun Facts can stay than some users here - I don't think Trogga is happy unless he deletes fifty less-than-perfect facts a day, for instance. It's not meant as a personal insult if I delete a fact that you added - just be sure you're giving meaningful additions to the pages first. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 06:24, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:PS. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the [[STUFF]] page. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 06:27, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Response ==

I can't control the dead links that appear in my posts. For some reason my home computer turns random words into dead links and mangles pages. I don't know what's causing it and neither does tech support. That's why I only use my laptop for Wiki submissions. If the dead links return please tell me because it means there’s something wrong with ‘top too.

Thanks, it's good to have a resident historian within our midst. I myself was only introduced to H*R late August 2003, so I've always been interested in the history of its changes over the years, since I've missed out on so much. But thank you for the confirmation, good to know it wasn't just some phony's made up message. (Oh, and btw, my website source is the same one I used for H*R updates 2003, '02, and '01. It's pretty accurate, so I've trusted most everything said on it). ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 03:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks, and according to the page, the GIF of the mouse on Strong Bad's Website is the gateway to this short. But I guess, like [[The Secrets That I Keep]], this was also origionally the automated e-mail egg, later stuck somewhere else on the site. Thanks alot man, that was really bugging me. (Oh, and thanks for adding the Fun Fact to the Page). ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 03:23, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==The First Time==

I don't want to get into a reversion war, but ... the thing I'm trying to say is that the keg (a keg?) first appeared in an email in [[helium]]. The "other" appearances, whether in an email or a toon, are irrelevant (at least for determining the item prices). No mention is made of the numerous "other" apperances of the other items at the sale. Just thought I'd explain my thinking. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:36, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
: But it implies that the keg first appeared in helium, when [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] far precedes it. No other mentions are made of the other items because they're either extremely common (like Marzipan's Answering Machine) or their first appearance in an email happened to be their first appearance anyway. And anyway, I've cut it down to "and other places", which doesn't take up a lot of space. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:39, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
::I don't mean to put too fine a point on this, but ... only the first '''email''' appearance is what's important here: it's what was used to determine the price. The explanation above specifies that. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:43, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
:::Then we might as well remove the "Cheat Commandos Commercial" link from those toys and the "3 Times Halloween Funjob" link from the candle... See where I'm going with this? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:48, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
::Actually, a table might be a better way to present the items and first email appearance. Just an idea. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:44, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
:::Prehaps, Monaco. </senorcardgage> But what would the table look like? What info would it provide? Item, price, first email appearance, buyer, special note? Would that really fix this issue? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:48, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello Jay!
* Graw Mad = Strong [MB]ad, sorry dude, my mad. :) The phrase was "'Graw Mad' is Strong Bad's nickname for [[Strong Mad]]" and my eyes deceived me so all I saw was "'Graw Mad' is Strong Bad's nickname". Thanks for catching that. :)
* Benendetto Prostrate: I see your point that such a phrase might personify it too much; I was only trying to disambiguate that the popcorn popper was not in fact upright in the foreground. Any other ideas?

[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 06:01, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
: Fair enough - I edited the Bennedetto line in a way that didn't make him seem any more human than H*R already did, and still pointed out his position.

== Why the reversion? ==

Just curious - why did you back out my Real-World Reference addition to "caffeine?" Is it because I stated it as fact instead of speculation?

Dude, you keep on blocking me because you say "I keep asking for a dollar?" What does that mean. Some a-might be thieving my identity or something. Can you clarify what you meant? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
: I didn't block your screen name (obviously). Three different IP addresses asked for a dollar on article pages, over and over again. If you have an IP address that changes a lot, you might have hit one of them totally by accident - which would have blocked you too. But you're obviously posting, and two of the three IP addresses were blocked indefinitely. Why is it you believe ''you'' were blocked? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 02:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

*DuDe! I swear I didn't do that! When I got blocked, I hadn't even heard about Bug in Mouth Disease! I think someone's a-been fwamin' a-my butt. AGH! I'm so irritated! I just explained this exact case to [[Tom]]! I've got rings around me eyes!

==Siggie==

Hey Jay. I just thought I'd pass a bit of [[User:JoeyDay|Joey Day]] wisdom on to you about sigs. Have you tried the template meathod? Basically it lets you shorten your code left behind, and lets you change ALL your sigs at the same time. You just put your sig code on a subpage of your userpage, (e.g. 'User:Jay/sig' or something). Then in your prefferances box, put <nowiki>{{User:Jay/sig}}</nowiki>. And that's all there is to it. It changed my life man, spread the word! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
:That sounds like a cool idea. Lemme try it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:44, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

==Rally's Checkers==

Hey, Jay, in TGS1, Strong bad makes a reference to Rally's and Checkers. Now, I know these places are in fact the same food chain (or at least they have been since 1999). I've been to both, ordered from both, even seen commecials from both, and except for the name, the places are identical. However, when I try to put this fact in "Real World References," it keeps getting, to quote Strong Bad, "DELETED!" Why is that? -- [[User:Redmond|Redmond]] 14:50 EDT, May 23 2005

Teen Girl Squad Issue 1

Redmond — Mon, 23 May 2005 18:25:33 GMT

Redmond: /* Real-World References -- I've been to both; they sell the exact same things. */

[[Image:tgs1.PNG|thumb|Cheerleader's the only one left standing]]

'''[[Teen Girl Squad]] Episode #1'''

The very first one, which made its premiere in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[comic]]. The girls get ready to LOOK SO GOOD, but many a problem do they encounter. At least Cheerleader looks SO GOOD!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], [[The Ugly One]], [[The Birds]], [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#A Helicopter|A Helicopter]], [[Visor Robot]], [[The Man with the Huge Mouth]], [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Dinosaur|Dinosaur]], [[Strong Bad]] (Easter Egg)

'''Date:''' December 2, 2002

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

'''Page Title:''' TEE GEE ESS!!

== Transcript ==


{{TGS1 Transcript}}

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' IT'S OVER!!!!

'''The End'''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end, if you click on the "whats her face" headstone Strong Bad will come out and have a little chat with Cheerleader.
:'''Easter Egg Transcript'''

:''{Strong Bad walks on screen from the right}''

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, hey there Cheerleader. You lookin' soo good. You want to go take a ride with me up to ah, Checkers? Or Rally's? Or em, Sonic Burger? ...whatever you guys got here.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*We know from the email [[comic]] that the members of Teen Girl Squad are Virginia, Joy, Kristen, and Jennifer. In this issue, only So and So is given a name: Kristen (or Kristina). The other members of TGS are not named individually.

===Remarks===
*Notice that the walk-on Strong Bad in the easter egg covers up the lines of the paper, whereas everything else in the scene doesn't.
*You can still click Whats Her Face's headstone after the easter egg has been activated, but it doesn't do anything.

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Checkers Drive-In|Checkers]], [[Wikipedia:Checkers Drive-In|Rally's]] and [[Wikipedia:Sonic_Drive-In|Sonic]] "Burger" are all popular drive-in style fast food chains.
*"whatever you guys got here" refers to the fact that Rally's and Checkers are actually the same fast-food chain.
