'''Duplicate characters''' is a phenomenon where a single character appears in more than one place at once in the same scene, and in general, any other characters present simply accept this as true. This listing excludes purely stylistic uses of multiple characters through artistic license, as seen in music videos and the like.

==Appearances==
*[[A Decemberween Pageant]] — [[Strong Mad|Strong Mad's]] hand can be seen moving both sets of waves back and forth, on opposite sides of the stage.

*[[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]] — Two [[Arrow'd Guy]]s are seen rating the girls on their dives into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth.
*Email [[pizzaz]] — [[Strong Bad]] conducts an interview of himself, in that he is asking the questions, and another "he" is answering them. Strong Bad seems to find this perfectly normal, even though the two Strong Bads interview, mock, yell at, plead with and bribe each other. However, the sight of two Strong Bads simultaneously makes [[The Cheat]]'s [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|head explode]].
*[[Senorial Day]] — [[Bubs]] holds a Bubsotathon, in which [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] throws confetti while on both sides of the screen at once. The Flash file shows that the one on the right wears a [[mustache]].
*[[Main Page 23]] — Rolling over [[Store]] will show Homestar facing away from you, saying the word "Store", as well as another Homestar walking in the background with a simple exchange of "Sup, man?" — "Sup?"
*[[Fall Float Parade]] — Two fez-wearing [[Homsar]]s go past, of which [[Marzipan]] takes only casual notice.
*Email [[strong badathlon]] — An Easter egg shows two Homestar puppets in an advertisement for "Homestar vs. Homestar fights".
*Email [[unnatural]] — Two The Cheats are seen at the town meeting. One is to the right of [[Coach Z]], and the other is to the left of Marzipan.
*Email [[mini-golf]] — After [[The Worm]] bites off half of Homestar's golf ball, another Worm pops out of it.
*Email [[web comics]] — In one comic, [[Stinkoman]] wishes he could challenge himself. A second Stinkoman (with [[1-Up]]'s voice) appears in order to fulfill his wish.
*Email [[shapeshifter]] — Three shapeshifted Strong Bads (one in the form of Bubs's legs, one in the form of a $100 bill, and one in the form of a balloon tiger) appear in one scene, which Strong Bad then describes as "confusing".
*[[Happy Dethemberween]] — In an easter egg, four [[Homsar]]s appear. Each of them can be clicked on for a different bell.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — After being humiliated, Homestar crashes at the [[House of the Brothers Strong]], occupying the basement, the kitchen, and [[Strong Bad's Room]] all at the same time. In fact, Strong Bad has to kick all three Homestars out of the house.
*[[Main Page 25]] — Homestar and [[The Exact Same]] appear.
*[[Twenty THANxty Six]] — Stinkoman appears to be buried in the ground with one leg sticking out and another Stinkoman appears next to it.
*[[Hremail 2000]] — A third leg similar to Homestar's appears during the puppet show and when Homestar is playing basketball. Also, in an Easter egg Homestar fights "Shadow Homestar."
*[[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] — Homestar is transformed into Coach Z as Marzipan's "fate", then into a macrame owl as ''his'' fate, and, while Marzipan asks Macrame Homestar why he hates macrame, Coach Z Homestar appears and scolds Marzipan while Macrame Homestar is still on-screen.

Lack of Visible Arms

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

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-dong, ding-ding-

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: decemberween</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
What do you want for Decemberween? 
your holiday spirit 
Talon Jendro 
Des Moines, IA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad continues his song with "Dear Strongbad", pauses between "Jen" and "dro", and does not say "Des Moines, Iowa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Where'd you get that name? George Lucas? Ta'lon J'en-dr'o from the computery generated planet of Des' Moi-nes'ia. ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, everybody knows the kind of stuff I want, Ta'lon. A catapult that launches balls of cobras, chainsaw car, subscription to EGM2, hot step-sister. That email writes itself. It's more important that I establish what I ''don't'' want for Decemberween. ''{types "X-berween"}''

''{cut to "Z' ShopChan" TV shopping channel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Our first item is a perennial all-star of bad awful Decemberween presents: the ornament.

'''MARZIPAN:''' There's no better way to say, "I have no idea what your interests are" than to give someone a present that ceases to be useful the moment it's opened.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, there's nothing like opening a gift just in time to put it in a box in the attic for a year. And next Decemberween when you get it back out, guess what? It's still just a cool snowman surfing the internet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Internet is ''so'' hot this year.

''{A phone rings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, we got a caller. ''{puts an empty hand next to his head}'' Go ahead, caller. How many FR114P-dc8s should I put you down for?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad, did you put wildebeest pheromones in my laundry again?

''{wildebeest noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Auugh!

''{dial tone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another satisfied customer. Next up, we have one of those mechanical dancing musical nobots. The kind that you accidentally activate by getting too close.

'''DANCIN' STRONG BAD MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{heavily distorted voice}'' I'm like come on Fhqwhgads, I said come on Fhqwhgads, Everybody to the limit, The Cheat is to the limit...

''{The nobot's music fades out as we cut back to Strong Bad and Marzipan. Strong Bad is holding his hands over his ears.}''

'''DANCIN' STRONG BAD MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{continuing softly in background}'' ...Everybody come on Fhqwhgads... 
'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Listen to that moldy oldy in glorious drive-thru stereo. ''{A sign reading "Drive-Thru Stereo" appears over her head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who can appreciate the song when all you're really hearing ''{cut back to the nobot}'' are the plastic gears and motors clanking together in an effort to barely bust some sort of move?

''{Cut to a closeup of Marzipan. The nobot now appears in the left pane.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' These things just scream "I stopped at the drug store on my way over".

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Marzipan. Strong Bad is staring at the nobot with swirly eyes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now, on to our next item. Uhh, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, I'm completely entrangled by those ''{cut to extreme closeup of the Nobot}'' hypnotically swaying hips. ''{cut back. Strong Bad shakes his head violently}'' Our last gift items are all about the false notion that just because you made something yourself, it's not a worthless piece of crap.

'''MARZIPAN:''' These sea-shells have office supplies hot-glued to them for absolutely no reason.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and the more globs of hot glue I can see, the quicker I throw it in the trash.

'''MARZIPAN:''' This clothes-pin reindeer ornament is forgettably precious.

''{record scratches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, homemade ''and'' an ornament. That thing is an anti-gift. If someone gives you one of those, you actually have to pay them because it's so poor. Uh, probably because ''they're'' so poor.

''{white noise, cut back to Strong Bad typing on his Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So Ta'lon, my young apprentice, there's my "Please Great Aunt Whoever, Don't Get Me This Stuff For Decemberween" list. I highly suggest you make your own. But if it doesn't work, don't forget to take advantage of all the temporary help that retailers hire this time of year. Those people will refund ANYTHING! Last year, I returned an omelette to a hardware store for nigh on fifty bucks. Well, happy Decemberween everybloody!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down and Strong Bad leaves.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Cobra-Pult.png|thumb|A Stupid Game For Dumb Kids]]
*Click on the words "balls of cobras" as Strong Bad types them to see a board game entitled "COBRA-PULT!!"
*Click on the words "chainsaw car" as Strong Bad types them to see the blueprints to a chainsaw car.
*At the end of the email, click on the words "Don't Get Me This" to see a Dancin' [[Homestar Runner]] Musical Nobot that plays the [[Intro|intro tune]].
:'''DANCIN' HOMESTAR RUNNER MUSICAL NOBOT:''' ''{heavily distorted singing}'' Everybody! Everybody! Everybody! Everybody!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad types "Decemberween" as "X-berween". [[Wikipedia:Xmas|X-mas]] is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas.
**Another possible reason for the substitution may be that X is the Roman numeral for ten, and the letters replaced by the X are "decem", which is the Latin word for ten.
*[[Wikipedia:Hollandaise sauce|Hollandaise]] is a French lemon-butter sauce.
*A [[wikipedia:pheromone|pheromone]] is a natural chemical produced by an animal that causes a specific response when detected by another animal, normally of the same species.
*This email parodies the general format of home-shopping television networks, such as [[Wikipedia:QVC|QVC]] and the appropriately-named [[Wikipedia:Home Shopping Network|Home Shopping Network]].

===Trivia===
*The Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#low blow|low blow]]".
*The following is a list of all items seen being sold by [[Z' ShopChan]]:
*;ZXJ481-78b:Commemorative [[Coach Z]] Ornament
*;WRT54G-Sc:[[Eh! Steve!]] Soiled [[Gold]] Ornament
*;FR114P-dc8:Cool Snowman Surfing the Internet Ornament
*;3DT178-2t2:[[Dancin' Musical Nobots|Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot]]
*;N2cXL8-42:Seashells [[b/w]] Office Supplies
*;Kj78M-Xn45:31 Kt Clothes Pin Reindeer – "Klibber"
*The Cool Snowman's monitor reads "internet dot com."
*This is the first email that counts as a [[Decemberween]] toon.
*The calculator glued to the shell reads "04 04 04", which [[Wikipedia:Calculator spelling|upside down]] looks like "ho ho ho".
*This is a rare instance of [[Strong Bad and Marzipan's Relationship|Marzipan and Strong Bad]] coexisting peacefully, even doing something together without conflict.
*This is the second time that Strong Bad has been hypnotized, the first being [[cartoon]].

===Remarks===
*The Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot is said to have Drive-Thru [[wikipedia:Stereophonic sound|Stereo]] even though only one speaker was visible.
*The reindeer clothespin is marked as "31 kt". "Kt" stands for [[wikipedia:Carat (purity)|Karat]], and is used to indicate the purity of gold. Pure gold is 24kt.
*Apparently, Strong Bad got rid of [[Le Restige]] from [[the chair]], as he is seemingly on [[Stooly]] in this email.
*Strong Bad said "dear Strong Bad" in his email song even before the email was on screen.
*When Strong Bad announced the numbers/letters for the snowman surfing the internet, he didn't mention any capital letters which is usually important for selling items over the phone.
*Strong Bad is holding his hands over his ears, even though he has [[Lack of visible body parts|no visible ears.]]
*The calculator reading "04 04 04" is actually impossible considering that most calculators do not have space functions.

===Goofs===
[[Image:What i want goof.PNG|thumb|Ooh, just barely.]]
*At the end, when Strong Bad gets off the computer, his reflection is outside of the screen for a single frame.

===Inside References===
*COBRA-PULT!! is made by [[Boardelectrix]].
*The Strong Bad toy plays [[Everybody to the Limit]], and the Homestar toy plays the [[Intro]] theme.
*Strong Bad was previously hypnotized in [[cartoon]].
*The Dancin' Strong Bad Musical Nobot's part number ends in [[Tooty-two|2t2]].
*The seashell and office supply gift has [[b/w]] in its title.
*There is a [[Cakkalate]]-brand calculator glued to the second seashell.
*The Clothes Pin Reindeer "Klibber" has [[Googly-eyed Objects|googly eyes]] and a [[green tongue]].
*"Entrangled" and "Every[[blood|bloody]]" are examples of [[Portmanteaus]].
*The "Ding Ding Dong" jingle at the beginning of the email is to the tune of the intro of the Jingle Bells song played by [[Keyboard Strong Bad]] in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*A similar "Ding Dong, Dear Strong Bad" was used to start off the email in [[japanese cartoon]].
*Coach Z was previously shown with an [[afro]] and [[mustache]] in [[stand-up]], and [[record book]].
*Everybloody is another reference to [[blood]].
*The year [[1974]] is on the Coach Z ornament.

===Real-World References===
*This email makes several references to [[George Lucas]] and his ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' franchise, specifically Episodes 1 through 3 (released between 1999 and 2005):
**Large portions of Episodes 1 through 3 were completely [[Wikipedia:Computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]]. This is likely why Strong Bad mentions a computer-generated planet when addressing Talon.
**When Strong Bad calls Talon "Ta'lon J'en-dr'o", he refers to the many aliens in the ''Star Wars'' universe whose names contain apostrophes and/or hyphens.
**Strong Bad calls Talon "my young apprentice", another reference to ''Star Wars'': [[Wikipedia:Palpatine|Darth Sidious]] often addresses some characters in this way, such as [[Wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] and later [[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]].
*''[[wikipedia:EGM2|EGM²]]'' was a spin-off magazine of the video game magazine ''[[Wikipedia:Electronic Gaming Monthly|Electronic Gaming Monthly]]''. It was published until 1998 when it became ''[[Wikipedia:Expert Gamer|Expert Gamer]]''.
*Two of the part numbers, WRT54G-Sc and FR114P-dc8, refer to popular networking hardware – the [[Wikipedia:Linksys WRT54G series|Linksys WRT54G]] and the [[Wikipedia:Netgear|Netgear]] [http://www.netgear.com/Products/VPNandSSL/WiredVPNFirewallRouters/FR114P.aspx FR114P].
* This email is strongly reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Saki|Saki]]'s short story '[http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2830/2830-h/2830-h.htm Reginald on Christmas Presents]' in which Reginald, an 1890s campy British aristocratic character, mocks all the terrible Christmas presents he has received from relatives.
* The opening tune Strong Bad sings as he opens the email is reminiscent to the intro of the "[[Wikipedia:Jingle Bells|Jingle Bells]]" demo on most Casio keyboards.
* Strong Bad saying that he returned an omelette to a hardware store is likely a reference to an [[Snopes:business/consumer/nordstrom.asp|urban legend]] that a shopper once successfully returned a set of tires to [[Wikipedia:Nordstrom|Nordstrom]], a department store that has never sold tires.

===Fast Forward===

* The Coach Z 1974 ornament was later seen in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]].
* Less than a week after the release of ''what I want'', a fan made version of the Eh! Steve! ornament was shown on the [[Weekly Fanstuff 2006|Weekly Fanstuff]]. To account for the speed at which it was created, it was coupled with the caption; "whoa, that was fast."
*Strong Bad gets a "Chainsaw Car" Toy in the Email [[specially marked]].

===Commentary Transcript===

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

''{Pause until Strong Bad finishes his intro.}''

'''MATT:''' That's what the demo on our little Play Time  keyboard plays. It sounds the beginning of Jingle Bells.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hm.

'''MATT:''' It's what the... keyboard-head Strong Bad dances to in that one Sweet Cuppin' Cakes...

'''BOTH:''' Decemberween—

'''MIKE:''' at— ''{cuts himself off}''

'''MATT:''' ... special

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping shortly after Matt begins the above line}'' ... at special

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' ''{Unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Um, George Lucas has a lot of apostrophes in the names ''{Mike chuckles}'' of his places and characters, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yep!

'''MATT:''' Yeah—

'''MIKE:''' So wrote— did we write this ''{Matt begins to say "Yep" but stops}'', or, write the bulk of this like the year before...—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{underneath}'' this one?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Almost the entire thing. ''{Mike says "Yeah" underneath; short pause}'' I think we added the... home shopping aspect of it, I think ''{Mike begins to say "Mmmm..." in an unsure manner.}'' was— did a bit at all. 

'''MATT:''' ''{without stress one would usually exhibit when asking a question}'' No?

'''MIKE:''' I had made— I had definitely made those graphics a long time— "Z' ShopChan"—

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That was pre-made.

'''MATT:''' ''{with a faux Asian accent}'' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' I think that present there is actually the— ''{chuckles}'' is from that old... Sweet Cuppin' Cakes thing we just talked about.

'''MIKE:''' Oh ''{chuckles}'' yeah.

'''MATT:''' It definitely looked... old and kind of crappy.

''{Short pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{in reference to the "Eh! Steve! Soiled Gold Ornament"}'' Oooh! Look at that! Remember someone made one of those like the next week?

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Got a email from someone that made a... it was a ''brass'' Eh! Steve!

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{in reference to the "Cool Snowman Surfing the Internet Ornament"}'' Internet dot com!

''{Short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' My sister-in-law Catherine  got me a wooden, uh— uh, carved grizzly bear at a computer  when she went to Russia.

'''MATT:''' ''{interjectionally}'' I remember that! And you— you'd... shimmy the ball around and made him type.

'''MIKE:''' Yeeeah. Something like that it wasn't an ornament, but it was...

'''MATT:''' I think I brought, maybe not you, but I brought somebody that one of those when I went to Russia ''{Mike begins to laugh hysterically}'' in High School.

'''MIKE:''' Sell 'em at the airport?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{short pause}'' This is a good outtake from that, remember where he says, Strong Sad says something about "Montelbon pheremones"?

''{Mike chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' So, uhhh...Esterbee's got a little gorilla that sings the... ''Animal House''... theme song?

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

'''MIKE:''' Ummm, and it's just— it's— it really is that bad... as far as...—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' 'Cause you, could like—

'''MIKE:''' —sound quality and just hearing these...

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckling}'' Gears.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckling}'' ... like, the gears that require it to move this very ''{chuckling}'' small stuffed animal around. ''{Matt chuckles}'' Are very loud.

''{Matt sighs. There is a short pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{in reference to Strong Bad being hypnotized the his Dancin' Musical Nobot}'' Well, he's hypnotized by those...''{silently chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' You think those, uhhh, eyes, his spiral-y eyes are the same ones when he gets hypnotized at the... eh—

'''MATT:''' Cartoon?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It's like one of the first... ten or fifteen emails?

'''MATT:''' I bet they are, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It might ''be''. It didn't look that ''good''.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing; in reference to the "Seashells b/w Office Supplies" items}'' "To my wife" ''{Mike chuckles}'' Can we both— can we both give those to our wives?

'''MIKE:''' And they would have no idea what it was a reference to!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, yeah, of course not! ''{Mike laughs}'' They wouldn't think it was funny ''and'' they would have no idea... ''{Mike chuckles}'' that it was from one of our cartoons.

''{Brief pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckling}'' Klibber!

'''MIKE:''' Our friend, David Shackelford claimed that in, uh, when he lived in Florida, growing up, he had neighbors named Klibber and Megrubaloob. ''{Matt laughs}'' It's all but a few years ago when I brought that up and he flat-out— he said—he—he— A, he didn't remember it, and B, he was like "Oh yeah, I was definitely lying." ''{Matt chuckles}'' But, like, at the time, he swore on his grave that it, you know, Klibber and Megrubaloob.

'''MATT:''' Well?

'''MIKE:''' And... Aronjello.


'''MATT:''' Yeah. Amangero and Lamanjello. Grape-flavored jello with fruit floatin' it?

''{Mike (or possibly Matt) sighs; short pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ummm. ''{Another short pause}'' ''{disappointingly}'' I don't know.

''{Mike does a chuckle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got an email. I got an awesome email. ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
If you had three wishes, what would the second 
one be? 
 
Much Crap, 
Brandon Hofer 
Judson College 
Elgin, IL</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Geez, I didn't need your freaking life story, man. Augh, ''{typing}'' That's an easy one Brandon. Horns. No question. I'd wish for a pair of horns. Here, check it out.

''{Strong Bad bends to the desk and starts drawing. He draws a picture of himself with horns and holds the paper up to show it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at how great I would look, man. So majestic, yet so wicked awesome. Like I could maybe go on tour with some heavy metal band and like be their mascot you know and come out on stage, and have some type of laser fight with the lead singer and all the fans will go nuts. Oh man, that would be great.

''{He puts away the picture of himself with horns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay you guys, so until next week, it's not required that you sign your email, "Crapfully yours," or, "With a bunch of crap," or, "Crap in the times," or, "Crap is so great," "Everything is crap," "My middle name is Crapperson." You know, you could just put, "Sincerely"... or, "Yours truly," is another good one. Come on, guys. I'll still read 'em.

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

''{He picks up the picture of himself with horns again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know these horns kinda look like croissants the way I drew 'em. Maybe my third wish will be for a couple of croissants. Yeah, like, heat it up with some butter melting on the top.

''{He puts away the picture and clears his throat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got to get The Cheat to get me some of those... Some of those... ''{with a heavy French accent}'' croissants.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first mention of [[croissants]].

===Remarks===
*The last line appears to be a separate audio file (the Flash file pauses shortly after playing it).
*Strong Bad produces the pencil and paper out of [[Hammerspace|nowhere]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad draws the picture of himself with horns, the pencil doesn't reflect on the screen.
*When Strong Bad holds up the drawing of himself with horns, you can still click the contrast buttons through his boxing gloves.
*The enter key is not heard being hit when Strong Bad clears the screen for the first time.
*Even though Strong Bad used a pencil to draw himself with horns, the picture seems to be done with dark blue ink, suggesting a ball-point pen.

===Inside References===
*This is the first (but far from last) time that Strong Bad objects to getting "[[Crapfully Yours|crappy]]" closings in his emails.
*This email has an instance of [[Names ending in -erson]].

===Real-World References===
* The intro song is a reference to a line in [[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie's]] "[http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/lionel_richie/say_you_say_me.html Say You, Say Me]", "I had a dream, I had an awesome dream."
* The reference to being a heavy metal band's mascot who has battles with the band on stage is a reference to Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie. A tradition at [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]] concerts is for a man in a giant Eddie costume on stilts to come on-stage mid show and appear to battle with the band members.

Tyler asks Strong Bad how you can tell if someone has a stupid butt. Strong Bad explains the concept of the Transitive Butt Property.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email.

<blockquote class="tandy email"> Dear Mr Bad, 
How do you know if someone's butt is stupid? 
I mean, is there like some kind of IQ test? 
Crapfully yours, 
Tyler</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the ''{typing}'' Transitive Butt Property. ''{stops typing}'' And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head.

''{He types "stupid (butt) ≥ stupid (head)," then clears the screen to bring up Bad Graphics Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance. ''{laughing}'' Look at his stupid head! ''{labels Homestar's head "stupid (head)"}'' Look at how stupid his head is. ''{stops laughing}'' Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that ''easily'' his butt is going to be at least as stupid ''{labels Homestar's butt as "stupid (butt)"}'' if not stupider. ''{relabels butt as "stupid/stupider (butt)"}'' So there you have it. Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to mention Homestar.
*This is the first instance of Strong Bad receiving an email signed "[[Crapfully Yours]]".
*The paper at the end is shorter in length than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of [[Homestar Runner]]).
*This is the first sbemail to show something on Strong Bad's computer other than text.

===Remarks===
*Normally, [[Wikipedia:Transitive relation|transitivity principles]] are used to infer a relation between two variables based on their relations to a third variable. For example, transitivity of "is greater than or equal to" implies that if <math>a\geq b</math> and <math>b\geq c</math>, then <math>a\geq c</math>.

===Goofs===
*For a split second when Strong Bad's text is cleared and [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|Bad Graphics Homestar Runner]] appears, the text appears outside of the computer screen.

===Inside References===
*The email appears to have been inspired by the song [[You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt|"You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt"]] from [[Strong Bad Sings]] (which later made its way to the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]).

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm glad you asked me, Margo.

''{Strong Bad gets up from his seat and enters an office, as if he's doing a commercial. Some flute music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you want to be more awesome? Sure! We all do. Here in Crazy Go Nuts University, you can get the experience you'll need to be almost half as awesome as I am. Get your certificate in:

''{A list starts to scroll from the bottom of the screen, and Strong Bad reads off each entry as it goes by.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cheesing People Off, Indian-Giving, Cutting Ones, Doing Some Other Things, Home Invasion, Cracking Wise, World Domination, Sending Me a Dollar, Total Spaceship Guy, TV / VCR Repair, or GET YOUR DEGREE!

''{The list disappears. Cut to a close-up on Strong Bad's face}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Applying is easy, just take this free art test.

''{Strong Bad holds up the art test, which the camera then focuses on. At the top are blanks for Name and Age. There is also a drawing of the guy with a big knife, captioned with "Draw me!" on top and "Guy w/ big knife" on the bottom. At the bottom of the test is the box for drawing him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fill out the test and send it back to us. And you will be well on your way to a better, awesomer you.

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

''{About every 4 seconds, the medallion of the CGNU Logo shines.}''

===Remarks===
*When viewing the Flash file, right click "play" at the end to view a white screen with the front of Strong Bad's hand display for several seconds, then start the email over again. This is most likely where The Brothers Chaps designed the front of Strong Bad's hand, and it was never removed.

===Inside References===
*The [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife]] on the art test is from [[i love you]].
*The entrance test for CGNU is offered in [[Homestar Quiz]].
*The sign on Strong Bad's desk reads, "Prinicpal Strong Bad." First seen in the Homestar Quiz, this misspelling, intentional or not, becomes the accepted spelling for Strong Bad's title.
*The first class you can major in at CGNU is "[[Cheesed Off|Cheesing People Off]]".

===Real-World References===
*This is a parody of commercials for various schools and colleges, most notably [[Wikipedia:Correspondence school|ICS (International Correspondence Schools)]], which memorably had TV commercials in the 1980s and 1990s starring Sally Struthers and featuring the lines "Do you want to make more money? Sure, we all do!", lists of degrees such as "TV/VCR repair" and "computer programming", or you can "get your [specialized associate] degree".
*This is also a parody of the [http://www.artists-ais.com/free/index.php Art Instruction Schools], which advertise, "Simply complete this free art test and send it back. Your test will be professionally graded to see if you have the interest required to become a serious artist."

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version adds a hidden commentary by Homestar and Mike. Just switch your DVD player's language selection during the email to access it.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Surprise, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Uh-oh. Hey, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's not Matt ''or'' a Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' It's Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! You remembered my name this time!

'''MIKE:''' That's right! Uh, have I ever forgotten your name?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, several times.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, um, what do you have to say about this email?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, it looks like Strong Bad is a school man.

'''MIKE:''' Look, it says, a misspelling there, it says "Prinicpal Strong Bad."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Prinicpal... What's that?

'''MIKE:''' Well—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' When did he get promoted to Prinicpal?

'''MIKE:''' Did you take any, uh, classes at Crazy Go Nuts University?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes. I... I took the Cutting Ones class, Mike, I'll tell you what!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, what'd you get?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got a D.

'''MIKE:''' You weren't very good at that class.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' The views expressed in the following email show do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anybody cool. Oh, except me. ''{lowers voice}'' I'm cool.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you Have a car If you do what Kind 
of car is it. Is it Pimped OUt? 
 
From Kyle 
in West Point , NY (Military Base)</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the email exactly as typed, punctuation errors and all, except for the word "Pimped", which he pronounces "Pimpèd"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Gron Sad about that later on. Maybe write in to 'Popular Science' about it. "''Popular Science''." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence." ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Anydangway, to properly make an example out of both you, and your email's butts, I'm going to whip out an old classic move of mine, and hit you with a little uhhhh digga digga digga digga digga digga DEL-

''{Cut to a wider view of Strong Bad's desk, where Homestar is off to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Interrupting Strong Bad}'' Hup-tup-tup-tup-tup. ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}'' Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.

''{Cut back to zoomed view of Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Shaking fist}'' What are you doing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... Did you just say "doing"? ''{This is said as to rhyme with "boing."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No. ''Doo-ing''. I said, "What are you ''doo-ing''?".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Well, you spelled it the same.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-ga...?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Anyways, on to my cool words I had to say. First, check out all my hydraulics.

''{Homestar pulls out a remote control with three switches on it. He flips the first two. His cap moves up and down on his head, making mechanical car hydraulic noises. He then continues to mix and match the usage of the switches to adjust the pitch, yaw, and angle of his cap in regards to his head. While this is going on, he continues to talk, commenting on the particular movements.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And a little...

''{His cap goes up, forward, back, forward, back, forward, back, and then down onto his head again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And everybody loves...

''{His cap slides up, and then forward on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now turn the lights down ''low''.

''{The lights dim, and his cap glows pink from underneath.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sweetish ground effects.

''{The room lights brighten and the "effects" turn off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And the coup ''{''Coup'' is said as "koop".}'' de grace,

''{He bends down putting his cap within the reach of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Spin my buzzer.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My buzzer. Give it a spin.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why am I doing this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, you said "doing" ''{This rhymes with "boing" again.}'' again.

''{Strong Bad makes some frustrated noises. He then spins the propeller on Homestar's cap. It gives a propeller-like sound.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing as the spin continues}'' Dooooo, doo doo doo dooooooooo. Dooo doot doot doot doot! Doo da doo da doo. Doo doot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now you're singing the theme from ''Night Court''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, not ''singing''. When you spin my buzzer, it ''plays'' the theme from ''Night Court'' starring Richard Moll. And it's custom-installed.

''{Strong Bad begins writing something unseen on his boxing glove with a permanent marker while muttering. The words "custom installed" are the only audible words he mutters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now what are ''you'' doing? ''{This is '''still''' rhymed with "boing".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'm just tricking out my fist here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh cool. What's it going to say? 2-E-Z?

''{2-E-Z flashes on the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or, like, NEVA-DIE?

''{NEVA-DIE flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it says this.

''{He shows Homestar. Written on his boxing glove is a mirrored "DELETED" in Gothic text.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, they spelled that backwards. You need to take that thing back right—

''{Strong Bad dives forward and punches Homestar. The screen goes white for a moment. Fade back to Homestar leaning up against a crack in the wall from the impact with his head. He's lost his cap, his eyes are X's, and Strong Bad's fist has left the Gothic "DELETED" imprinted on his forehead. Yellow stars float around his head, and weird sounds play.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dazed}'' Ooohh-oooh. Thank you once again for my pies. I spent particular effort on the Crème Bernard.

''{Cut to Strong Bad back at the Compy. The screen has been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and runs off to the right. After a moment, he pokes his head back on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Talk to my man with the green and white stripes!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the word ''car?'' at the end to see Homestar Runner dazed again.
:''{Cut to a still-dazed Homestar Runner.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dazed}'' It's such a lovely gathering of pies and pie people... Like to give a shout-out to Lemon Pretend over there...

*Click on the word "No!" at the end to see Strong Bad talking to Strong Sad.
:''{Cut to Strong Sad's Room. Strong Sad is reading a copy of'' [[Nerdular Nerdence]] [[Periodicals|magazine]]. ''Enter Strong Bad.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Gron Sad!
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Why do you keep calling me that?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... change of pace. Anyways, how many emails would it be if you got, like, two jillion emails every two jillion seconds? Like, a lot, or a little?
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Jillion is not a real unit of measure!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever, NERD! ''{leaves, muttering "Jillion" to himself}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' 'S'right! ''{holds up his hand}'' Say it again!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's line at the beginning is similar to various disclaimers on TV or radio programs or DVD commentaries that state that the views expressed in the program or commentary do not necessarily reflect those of the studio or parent companies.

===Trivia===
*In both this email and [[invisibility]], Homestar was taken by surprise. Homestar beat up Strong Bad in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. However, the older cartoon has been said by The Brothers Chaps to show characters doing things they would never do in their current state; Strong Bad's dominance is probably the norm.
*The page in ''Nerdular Nerdence'' that Strong Sad is reading says "electrons, scalene triangles, least ...mon denominators." "Mon" probably indicates the end of "common."
*Homestar's cross eyes were used in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]]. But since it was never finished, technically this is their first appearance.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#ugh-lympics|ugh-lympics]]".

===Remarks===
*If you get two jillion emails every two jillion seconds, then you get an average of one email per second, because any nonzero finite number divided by itself (even made-up numbers like a jillion) is one.
*Strong Sad states that a "jillion is not a real unit of measure." However, Strong Bad uses "a jillion" as a ''number'', not as a [[Wikipedia:Units of measurement|unit of measure]].
*Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his [[Left Handedness|left hand]] (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word ''DELETED'' would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
**It also may be more evidence to the thought that Strong Bad could be ambidextrous.
*After Strong Bad punches Homestar, the screen on the Compy is blank, even though Strong Bad was never shown clearing it.
*Homestar incorrectly refers to the glow under his hat as "ground effects." The glow is actually called underglow. [[Wikipedia:Ground effects|Ground effects]] are parts of a car that extend to the ground, encircling the bottom of the vehicle. They are designed to keep airflow out from under the car and thus improve [[Wikipedia:Downforce|downforce]].
*Even though Strong Bad punches Homestar under the chin, ''DELETED'' appears across Homestar's eyes.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad spins Homestar's "buzzer" counterclockwise, but instead it turns clockwise.
*At the end of the email, part of the "a> back" is placed over the edge of the Compy's screen.
*In between the red part of Homestar's hat and his head there are two tiny spaces that you can see through.
*When Strong Bad says "Talk to my man with the green and white stripes" his reflection and his head are slightly off timing with each other.

===Glitches===
*In Homestar's egg, whenever he blinks (which he should not because he's knocked out) the X's on his eyes and some of his face get distorted and go back again.

===Inside References===
*"A-Digga-Digga-...DELETED!" is a reference to [[unused emails]].
*Homestar referred to his propeller as a "buzzer" in [[Some Puppet Stuff]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVDs.
*Strong Bad writes with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*2-E-Z might be a reference to the commentary from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]], where, in the commentary, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] says that the sports play has an "e" and a "z", spelling E-Z.
*Nerdular Nerdence is a [[portmanteau]].
*Strong Bad reads the word "Pimped" as "[[-èd|Pimpèd]]".
* The Easter Egg in this email is another toon with [[Homestar Runner Left Behind]].

===Real-World References===
*''[[IMDB:tt0086770|Night Court]]'' was a popular TV sitcom running 1984 to 1992. [[IMDB:nm0596986|Richard Moll]] played the part of bailiff Bull Shannon. The theme to the show was composed by [[IMDB:nm0254477|Jack Elliot]], who also composed the ''[[IMDB:tt0072472|Barney Miller]]'' theme.
*[[Wikipedia:Popular Science|''Popular Science'']] is a magazine that features the latest breakthroughs in science and technology in a format that appeals to the common man.
*Kyle asking if Strong Bad's car is "Pimped OUt", as well as the hydraulics on Homestar's propeller cap may be references to MTV's show [[Wikipedia:Pimp My Ride|''Pimp My Ride'']], where cars are tuned with hydraulics and the like to "pimp" them out.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad can later be seen in the [[Gremlin]] in several toons.
*The Cheat is encouraged to win Strong Bad a car in [[pop-up]].
*The sound playing in the background when Homestar is dazed is used again in [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], [[Strongest Man in the World]], and [[looking old]].
*A picture of Richard Moll's character in Night Court was later used on [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' Hi!

'''MATT:''' We're back!

'''MIKE:''' Welcome to email one-oh-one!

'''MATT:''' We're back for another DVD!

'''MIKE:''' This is... uh... email number one-oh-one, Matt.

'''MATT:''' The first one after flashback.

'''MIKE:''' That's right, we took...

'''MATT:''' I think a lot of people didn't think we were gonna keep going.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's true. People speculated that we were gonna stop at a hundred, but we're, um, continuing to drive this little thing we've done into the ground.

''{Matt snickers.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, no, but we did take a couple weeks off after email a hundred, and so this is sorta the return...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh...

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad types "Gron Sad"}'' Gron Sad?

'''MIKE:''' That comes from our, uh...

'''MATT:''' Our niece. 

'''MIKE:''' Niece.

'''MIKE:''' Who used to call...

'''MATT:''' A girl's a niece, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''MATT:''' A niece is a girl.

'''MIKE:''' Because there's that joke about "Denise" and "Denephew."

'''MIKE:''' That's how I remember.

'''MATT:''' Oooooooh.

'''MATT:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I never heard that one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I'll remember that from now on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So our niece, when she was...

'''MATT:''' You know how little kids are dumb and can't talk right? She would say "Gron Sad" instead of "Strong Sad," and she would say "Graw Mad" instead of "Strong Mad."

''{Pause, until Homestar arrives in the email.}''

'''MATT:''' Here comes Homestar Runner. With his ''Cave Man Ugh-lympics'' is the...

'''MIKE:''' It was a good game.

'''MATT:''' It was.

'''MIKE:''' It's like an Olympic-type game where you had, like uh... hair-pulling, where you like had to drag some...

'''MATT:''' ''{amused}'' Where you had to drag a woman by the hair...

'''MIKE:''' Pull her by the hair... ride a dinosaur...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Something with the wheel, probably.

'''MIKE:''' It was good. ''{As Homestar shows off his hydraulic cap}'' This must the only time you really see the underside of Homestar's hat.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, ''{indecipherable}''

'''MIKE:''' ...His hat ever becomes three-dimensional.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Exactly. ''{as Homestar's hat glows}'' One time Mike put ground effects on our coffee table, when we used to live together.

'''MIKE:''' Nice. One of those red rope lights, I just taped it on the underside of it, it was nice.

'''MATT:''' It worked good.

'''MIKE:''' ''{As Strong Bad is about to spin Homestar's propeller}'' Of course...

'''MATT:''' This is the first time ''animated'' Homestar...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I was gonna say...

'''MATT:''' ...Calls his propeller a "buzzer."

'''MIKE:''' Stole that from Puppet Homestar. Night Court, of course, was part of the original Thursday-night lineup. Cosby Show...

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike's "Cosby Show"}'' Cosby Show! Family Ties! Cheers! Night Court! L.A. Law!

'''MIKE:''' Was Night Court nine or nine-thirty?

'''MATT:''' Nine-thirty.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Cheers...

'''MATT:''' Cheers was right after Family Ties.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Good lineup.

''{Pause. In response to "2-E-Z" and "NEVA-DIE":}''

'''MATT:''' I think those are both real things I've seen on people's dashboard windshields, driving around Atlanta.

''{Mike snickers}''

'''MIKE:''' There was one in Athens that was, I see you lookin'... "I C U"... he was pretty popular.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Homestar is dazed, to the sound effects}'' That's just me and Mike...

'''BOTH:''' ''{imitating the sound effect}'' OooOOooOOooOO...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, this was sorta giving in, finally, too, 'cuz this is one he constantly would get, in an email, about "what kinda car do you drive?"

===Fun Facts===
*''[[Bill Cosby|The Cosby Show]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Family Ties|Family Ties]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Cheers|Cheers]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:L.A. Law|L.A. Law]]'' were all shows on [[Wikipedia:National Broadcasting Company|NBC]]. The [[Wikipedia:Must See TV|NBC Thursday night line-up]] mentioned existed for part of the 1986-87 season.

Reversinator: /* Modestly Hot Easter Egg */

{{featuredarticle}}

== A few things ==

A few things. Firstly, the cast list gives Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad whereas the Easter Egg section gives Senor Cardgage. Which should it be?

*EDIT: Since it's been almost a week since I posted this and I haven't had any feedback, I changed CCOSB in the cast list to Senor Cardgage, just to get rid of the contradiction. If you think they should both be CCOSB, by all means change it.

Finally, I removed this fun fact:

*The Prince of Town easter egg, which shows him asking if anyone will claim the lifetime supply of fishsticks, is there to show why he's so fat. He ate the lifetime supply of fishsticks and became the King of Town we all know and hate.

...on the grounds that it should be self-evident. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

== Cave Quest ==

In the DVD version, they talk about a game they made called "Cave Quest" for the Apple II. Is this game available for download anywhere? Did the Brothers Chaps say anything else about this title?

[[User:Agentjs03|Agentjs03]] 12:44, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Saying "e-mail" 100 times ==

Can anyone confirm that he actually says e-mail 100 times? I got 96, but it's hard to count... I just pulled up calculator and hit enter every time, but you get into a groove and accidentally hit it twice or so when he says, "eeeeee-maaaail..." --[[User:favetvshows1x3|favetvshows1x3]] 17:22, 10 Oct 2004 (MST)

*I spent a good twenty minutes and counted the emails in a .wav editing program. Yes, he DOES say "e-mail" 100 times. Phew. I'm...parched. I'm not sure if this is a Fun Fact or not, but I went ahead and added it. Feel free to change my wording (I mean, how do you refer to the word "e-mail" in an e-mail?) as you may see fit. --[[User:Bellatrix|Bellatrix]] 18:48, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Combolations reference ==

This claim in fun facts looks dubious:
''When Senor Cardgage/Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad says "Many combolations, Elizagerth", it's a reference to the credits in japanese cartoon.''
???

:Have you read the transcript for [[japanese cartoon]]? Check the credits.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:43, 18 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Zagnut ==

Senor Cardgage is definitely eating a Zagnut. This also coincides with the house that gave sucky treats.
--[[User:128.135.171.66|128.135.171.66]] 22:51, 3 Feb 2005 (MST)
==Closed STUFF==
===Emails (DECLINED)===
How can the Compy know that Strong Bad has answered 100 e-mails if it wasn't there to see the Tandy emails?
*'''Decline''' Number A, facts are statements, questions are... questions. And secondly, maybe Strong Bad told it somehow (it WAS there for [[50 emails]])? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' I dunno. Why does the King Of Town eat underarm deodorant? How does Homestar hold stuff without any arms? How does Strong Bad type with boxing gloves on? It's just one of those unanswerable questions that makes the H*R universe so hilarious! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 12:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Maybe its a cartoon, and not reality? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Deline''' Who knows, who cares? [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]
*'''Decline.''' How did the Compy know that Strong Bad asked for a glass of water? It's a cartoon, spammit, don't take it so literally! --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 05:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline. Sorry.''' Ugh! These obnoxious losers and their overly agressive declines. I'm not like that. Sorry, but suspension of disbelief must be a factor in this. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 06:33, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declining with a visCOSity.''' This is not fun, and it's not a fact. - [[User:aaronak|aaronak]] 23:47, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Strong Bad has a list of the e-mails he has done on his computer. You know, the list he usually has a scroll buttons song for? '''Duh-cline'''. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
===Discount Flashback Warehouse (DECLINED)===
In the Discount Flashback Warehouse Easter egg, Strong Bad sounds a lot like Senor Cardgage. In fact, the whole Easter egg resembles the Senor Cardgage Mortgage toon.
*'''Declinating the countryside, declinating the peasants...''' Of COURSE Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage sound similar - they're alternate versions of the same character. As for similarities between the two, all I see is that they're both commercials. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 23:50, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 11:48, 13 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]] 23:40, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment from original poster''': After watching it a couple more times, I see that the second part is quite a stretch. As for the first part, I think I need to clarify: Strong Bad ''talks'' like Senor Cardgage, i.e. he uses a monotoneous voice. (Nice decline message tho'...) Therefore, the fun fact '''rephrased:''' In the Discount Flashback Warehouse Easter egg, Strong Bad's style of speaking is similar to that of Senor Cardgage.
*Excardon me, but what differation does that make, Valerie? '''Decriminoted (decline).'''' [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]]
*Okay, maybe it's just me, but does anybody else notice that Strong Bad's voice is kinda rasp and expressionless? That's what I'm basing the whole thing on.
*'''Decline''' Matt Chapman can only do so many different voices, and it makes it especially hard to try and do two alternates to the same character. Strong Bad also does somewhat of a Senor Cardgage voice at the end of [[theme park]]. -[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]]
*'''Comment''' One might also add that both seem to have a common source. That is, the cheap television ads that small businesses create. If you somehow don't know what I'm talking about, just watch a local network for a little while, you'll see and hear plenty of dead air, gaudy graphics, poor diction, and bad acting. Actually, I don't know how you can fully appreciate Homestar Runner without having watched even that small amount of TV.

**'''Note on the characters:''' Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage are not the same person or even alternate versions of one another. According to Strong Sad, Senor Cardgage was a real person who lived nearby the Strongs' home. Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad is a hypothetical version of Strong Bad who ''resembles'' Senor Cardgage. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 14:51, 17 Apr 2005 (PDT)
*'''DEE-CLINE!''' Aslo note that:
:(A) Senor Cartgage IS Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad. He's a, as Zajac said, a hypothetical version of Strong Bad.
:(B) Strong Bad, in this case, is bored and sad. Senor Cartgage is pretty much always bored and sad, and so, as a result of being simply a hypothetical version of Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage is going to sound like Strong Bad here.

== Remove useless comment on main page ==

One of the comments on the main flashback page says that Strong Bad says "My very own a The Cheat" but that the text is "My very own The Cheat." This is useless, because this is just Strong Bad's weird accent. He often calls The Cheat "uh-The Cheat". For an example see [[for kids]], when he asks, "Can you say, uh-The Cheat?"

It's very useless indeed, but it's not uh-The Cheat, it's a The Cheat. As in 'a book' or 'a Tragic Clown Dog'. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 15:56, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== very not-so-low prices ==

Do you think that Strong Bad's "How can I make these prices any lower"
could be a reference to how Wal Mart says they have low prices but they're not?

Wal-Mart has great prices. I got a Gamecube there for fifty cents less and two games more than at Best Buy. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 04:10, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

:*I think it should be removed, because we only see Bubs, not Bubs' Concession Stand. As was pointed out in the reversion notes, Bubs could've been around before opening his Stand (I can't imagine what he did with his time). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 15:42, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:* Or they could have survived getting crushed. Who knows? As I said above, don't try to be scientific with things that make no scientific sense. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

::*The whole story could be apocryphal.

== E-mails Strong Bad didn't answer ==

{| border=1 style="background:#ffdd99"
| When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered two in 50 emails, two more in 2 emails, and you could say he answered more than one in huttah! (although he didn't answer any in anything or mile). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in spring cleaning (although they were promptly deleted). If you count by each toon being an e-mail, then he still answered in excess of 103 e-mails, since the three bonus e-mails on the DVD are presumably pre-100th. In addition, there is a "preview email" in the Toons Menu and never before seen emails in personal favorites. So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails. The hundredth email was actually answered somewhere between Emails 83-94.
|}

Just thought it might be worth mentioning that SB technically didn't answer two e-mails: [[mile]] (where The Cheat took it over, and technically that wasn't a real e-mail either), and [[anything]] (where Homestar poured Mountain Dew on the Compy's keyboard).
:Yeah, those are already mentioned in the quoted item. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Holy crap! I've forgotten how to read!! (Sorry, I think I'll stop with the comments for today.) -- [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 21:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I think that by "100th email", they mean "100th episode of the email show." Because, not only has he answered more than 100 on the site, I find it hard to believe that he would have never answered any emails on his own before the email show started. And bonus episodes don't count. That's kinda what bonus means. --[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 07:28, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== The PoT's Quote ==

== Triva is wrong ==

The first bullet mentions that strongbad never wore a shirt after finding out that homestrar was wearing the same shirt he was, but he wears one in different town.
:That could be counted as part of Strong Bad's imagination, and therefore non-canon... However, the real proof comes from that that was the original idea for the episode that they later scrapped. Therefore, it's not accurate at all. It's still notable, of course, because it was the original idea for the episode. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== 150th e-mail ==

This makes you think, will Strong Bad do anything for his 150th email? It's obvious he'd do something for the 50th, 100th, or 200th, but 150th? Feb. 21, 2006

== Comment concerning the declined fact Discount Flashback Warehouse==

*'''just sayin'''': Dang, you people are vicious with your declines. Well, it may not matter anymore, but I agree with this guy. Strong Bad was obviously not talking in his usual voice, and his voice did indeed sound very reminiscent of Senor Cardgage. Strong Bad says often that he thinks Senor is so cool, so why wouldn't he imitate him? And as far as them being different versions of the same character: Like Stinkoman and Sterrance, Senor Cardgage is a character that was created as a variation on Strong Bad to satisfy someone's question, but, just to be funny, was made into his own character. Creepy Comb-Over guy and Senor Cardgage have to be the same person, because he wears Strong Bad's mask (indicating that he's the variant of Strong Bad) but he's still referred to as Senor Cardgage in various toons. Yet on more than on occasion, Strong Bad is seen talking to Senor Cardgage (indicating that the variant and the original are two separate entities).
 So in conclusion, Senor Cardgage is his own separate person, and Strong Bad likes him so much that he imitates him in this easter egg. BIGGITY!--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:He was created in much the same way as [[Homsar]], via [[homsar]]. A misspelling leads to a short little joke character, leads to a full blown main character. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I think this should be included in the "Real-World" references, because I'm sure a lot of people will remember the Care Bears doing that when this email is viewed or when they read this page.

See, I thought it was a Katamari Damacy reference, so unless we can get a definite noting should be added.

Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship

Reversinator — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:58:11 GMT

Reversinator: /* Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Friendship */

[[Image:MLS Sign War Star.PNG|thumb|Homestar and Strong Bad as enemies.]]
While '''[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Strong Bad]]''' started off as enemies, both characters have since evolved from the polar-opposite personalities they began with. Homestar has become less heroic and more of a "lovable oaf" who often tries to be Strong Bad's friend. Strong Bad, meanwhile, now seems to regard Homestar as more of a nuisance than an arch-enemy, and occasionally shows a soft side for the terrific athlete (though he would never openly admit to it).

Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship

Reversinator — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:49:47 GMT

Reversinator: /* Homestar and Strong Bad's Rivalry */

[[Image:MLS Sign War Star.PNG|thumb|Homestar and Strong Bad as enemies.]]
While '''[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Strong Bad]]''' started off as enemies, both characters have since evolved from the polar-opposite personalities they began with. Homestar has become less heroic and more of a "lovable oaf" who often tries to be Strong Bad's friend. Strong Bad, meanwhile, now seems to regard Homestar as more of a nuisance than an arch-enemy, and occasionally shows a soft side for the terrific athlete (though he would never openly admit to it).

Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe

Reversinator — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:37:48 GMT

Reversinator: /* Appearances of Inconsistencies */

[[Image:Strong Badia Bubs' Stand.PNG|thumb|Is Bubs' right? Or is it left?]]
<blockquote>''There's no— there's no style guide, or continuity— we don't have a continuity person working on set.''
:— [[Matt Chapman]], [[geddup noise]] commentary

''We're gonna play "Name That Inconsistency" later on if you want to join us. Don't even think about eating any of our Sun Chips!''
:— [[Strong Sad]], [[Page Load Error]] </blockquote> With such an expansive bank of cartoons that rely so heavily on whimsical humor, it would be near impossible for [[The Brothers Chaps]] to keep the [[Homestar Runner universe]] completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size and humorous nature, various '''inconsistencies''' occur throughout the website and the DVDs. These are usually very minor. According to the site's [[FAQ]], people often ask The Brothers Chaps about inconsistencies, to these questions they answer that "It was either done on purpose or it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it."

==Appearances of Inconsistencies==
*[[Strong Mad]] — [[Strong Mad#Physical Statistics|His height and weight]] are under constant scrutiny.
*[[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|Strong Bad's computers]] — Their capabilities tend to vary. [[Matt Chapman]] even points this out in the [[homestar hair#DVD Version|DVD commentary]] for [[homestar hair]].
**Email [[retirement]] — [[Strong Bad]] states that the [[Lappy 486]] has a "5 meg hard-drive", although in [[animal]] it claimed to have only a 2 meg hard drive.
*[[Race Track|The race track]] — In [[autobiography]] lane five is the shortest lane, and seven the longest, while in [[disconnected]], the roles are reversed.
*Email [[flashback]]:
**In the [[Yearbook Character Page]], it says that The King of Town's reign as king dates back to "before any of you were born", but in this email, he is [[The Prince of Town]] and the other characters are, obviously, already born.
**To celebrate the 100th [[Strong Bad Email]], the screen of the [[Compy 386]] displays "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails!", even though there were some episodes, such as [[2 emails]], where he answered [[Strong Bad Email Statistics#Strong Bad Emails Featuring More Than One Email|more than one]].

Talk:Crimes Committed by Strong Bad

Reversinator — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:04:47 GMT

Reversinator: /* Hometar in bike thief */

{{featuredarticle}}

You are encouraged to add crimes that I have likely missed to the list.

== Idea! ==

Instead of listing crimes in order of appearance, why not group the crimes under specific headings instead? For example:

'''Attempted Murder'''
*Email [[homsar]] — Strong Bad attempts to kill [[Homsar]] with a [[Heavy Lourde]].
*Email [[cliffhangers]] — Strong Bad ties up the King of Town and Homsar, and dangles them over a cliff. He "resolves" them by cutting their ropes, causing them to fall.

'''Breaking and Entry'''
*Email [[caper]] — Strong Bad and The Cheat break into [[Homestar's house]] to burglarize it. They are unable to steal anything, however, because [[The Cheat]] breaks the [[cow lamp]], thus waking up [[Homestar Runner]] and forcing them to leave.
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] attempt to break into [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] to steal Bubs' fund-raiser candy bars. They are caught by Homestar Runner and [[Coach Z]] when they attempt to blow the back door open with fireworks.
*Email [[part-time job]] — Strong Bad breaks into [[Marzipan's house]]. It's not explained why, but it's believed he did so to check his email from inside.
*[[DNA Evidence]] — Again, Strong Bad breaks into Marzipan's house to search inside her couch to find money. He leaves behind a trail of pecan-pie-filling footprints, and accidentally drops a vial of DNA Evidence.

Of course, some of these headings will have only one or two appearances beneath it, such as Rioting ([[disconnected]]) and Indentity Theft ([[credit card]]), but some will have plenty of material, such as Theft and Vandalism. By using this layout, this article would be greatly cleaned up and would become a high quality article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 12:47, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

== Several Possible Crimes ==

Here are several things I found in the main toons on the website - nothing from DVD extras or SBCG4AP. I'm not a legal expert, so I don't know if I have the right crime every time, whether they should all be counted (things that happen in seemingly hypothetical sbemails for instance) but I thought I'd put them here to be included or not.

*Reddest Radish - Along with The Cheat, and Strong Mad, Strong Bad steals a radish from Marzipan's garden. (Theft)
*Jumping Jack Contest - Impersonating Pom Pom, Strong Bad steals Homestar's Trophy. (Theft, Identity Theft?)
*Marshmallow's Last stand - Strong Bad steals and then destroys Homestar's Star. He also attacks Homestar with a bomb. (Theft, *Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Property Destruction?)
*Luau - Strong Bad steals Marzipan's wood (Theft)
*Bug-in-Mouth Disease - Strong Bad hits Homestar with a skillet and throws remote at him (Assault and Battery)
*DNA Evidence - Strong Bad destroys Bubs' green apple snowcone bottle (Destruction of Property)
*Homestar Preseblubbonts Presents - Using the Grabbo-Arm, Strong Bad steals Marzipan's purse. (Theft)

[[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 20:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I think most of these are good. The following need to go, though: English Paper, Hiding, Date and CGNU. The rest seem usable. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:52, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

== Categories: Vandalism vs. Destruction/Damage to property? ==

For the purposes of the crime categories, should property destruction crimes like blowing up the movie theater or pouring Mountain Dew on Homestar's laptop be put in the Vandalism category or a new category? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 20:05, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

== Subsections ==

Should we divide the crimes farther into crimes of Fiscal, Physcial, Humane and others? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
:There are quite a few, a subdivision might be called for. Those aren't legal categories with which I'm familiar, though. Is there any reason you picked those categories in particular? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 05:39, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
:: Actually, I just pulled those off the top of my head. In retrospect, i recall my idea. It isn't practical.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 21:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
== Black Market ==

I know that the only black market around here is at Bubs' concession stand, but Strong Bad has been a big part of it, right? Buying that unlicensed ferret ointment, stealing Strong Sad and Pom Pom's swords and attempting to sell them, and selling Strong Sad's predendix. [[Special:Contributions/68.9.34.132|68.9.34.132]] 21:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
:Sure! Feel free to go ahead and add that to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:02, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

== Assault/attempted murder ==

We're being quite inconsistent now about what qualifies as attempted murder and what is assault. Dropping someone off a cliff is assault, but dropping a video game on someone is attempted murder? Frankly, given the nature of cartoon violence, which is rather less clear than in real life, I think attempted murder should only apply in cases where Strong Bad clearly intends to kill his target, such as dropping the heavy lourde on Homsar or moving the mattress at the steep deep. In both of these case, Strong Bad clearly believes someone is going to die because of what he's doing. Otherwise, a charge of attempted murder is rather hard to hold up. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:38, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
:I can see that. It's not attempted murder if you don't intend them to die and don't believe that they will die as a result of your actions. (If they ''do'' end up dying, it would be involuntary manslaughter.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:42, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, there's a lot of gray area there. I can see the Date Night instance being moved to 'assault,' but the others all reasonably seem to have intent to kill in my opinion, though there is room for doubt in the Marshmallow's Last Stand one and Blubbo's Commercial. Personally, I think the Clifhangers one is almost certainly attempted murder as well. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 05:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I've moved several now. My moves may seem a bit much, but here's where I'm coming from: in a cartoon world, we really can only know someone has malice aforethought if they actually state their intention to kill. I can see a case for moving cliffhangers to attempted murder, but again: characters fall off cliffs in cartoons all the time and it means nothing. Assault, definitely. Attempted murder is not likely to stand up in a cartoon court of law, though. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== Bennedetto ==

Should we mention Strong Bad's kicking and "killing" of [[Frank Bennedetto]] in the Attempted Murder section? {{unsigned|Theycallmefree|11:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)}}
:I dunno; Frank isn't really a person except in Homestar's eyes, and Homestar's not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. If what's being harmed isn't a person, it can't be attempted murder, and in fact can't even be assault. Damage to property is the worst I think we could really charge him with here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::Furthermore, since it was nominally a defensive act of war, I don't think he's actually guilty of anything. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 08:32, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

== Hometar in bike thief ==

What does Homestar trying to steal the Lappy in 'bike thief' have to do with this article? Extraneous? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 08:38, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe

Reversinator — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:04:17 GMT

Reversinator: /* Appearances of Inconsistencies */

[[Image:Strong Badia Bubs' Stand.PNG|thumb|Is Bubs' right? Or is it left?]]
<blockquote>''There's no— there's no style guide, or continuity— we don't have a continuity person working on set.''
:— [[Matt Chapman]], [[geddup noise]] commentary

''We're gonna play "Name That Inconsistency" later on if you want to join us. Don't even think about eating any of our Sun Chips!''
:— [[Strong Sad]], [[Page Load Error]] </blockquote> With such an expansive bank of cartoons that rely so heavily on whimsical humor, it would be near impossible for [[The Brothers Chaps]] to keep the [[Homestar Runner universe]] completely consistent and have total continuity between cartoons. Because of this large size and humorous nature, various '''inconsistencies''' occur throughout the website and the DVDs. These are usually very minor. According to the site's [[FAQ]], people often ask The Brothers Chaps about inconsistencies, to these questions they answer that "It was either done on purpose or it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it."

==Appearances of Inconsistencies==
*[[Strong Mad]] — [[Strong Mad#Physical Statistics|His height and weight]] are under constant scrutiny.
*[[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|Strong Bad's computers]] — Their capabilities tend to vary. [[Matt Chapman]] even points this out in the [[homestar hair#DVD Version|DVD commentary]] for [[homestar hair]].
**Email [[retirement]] — [[Strong Bad]] states that the [[Lappy 486]] has a "5 meg hard-drive", although in [[animal]] it claimed to have only a 2 meg hard drive.
*[[Race Track|The race track]] — In [[autobiography]] lane five is the shortest lane, and seven the longest, while in [[disconnected]], the roles are reversed.
*Email [[flashback]]:
**In the [[Yearbook Character Page]], it says that The King of Town's reign as king dates back to "before any of you were born", but in this email, he is [[The Prince of Town]] and the other characters are, obviously, already born.
**To celebrate the 100th [[Strong Bad Email]], the screen of the [[Compy 386]] displays "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails!", even though there were some episodes, such as [[2 emails]], where he answered [[Strong Bad Email Statistics#Strong Bad Emails Featuring More Than One Email|more than one]]. He also checked 40 of these emails on the [[Tandy 400]] and other computers.
**Strong Bad claims he lost count around email 51, but he began [[caffeine]] (the 91st Strong Bad Email) with "Coming in at number 91, it's, E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!"
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — The scene behind the fence is missing the [[Bear Holding a Shark]] that scared The Cheat in [[date]].
*[[New Boots]] — Strong Bad claims that he doesn't wear [[underwear]] but he is seen wearing underwear in [[stand-up]], [[senior prom]], [[Main Page 24]] and [[nightlife]].
*Email [[pom pom]] — Strong Bad can not type legibly when he is blindfolded, but in [[impression]] he could type properly even while wearing a paper plate mask, and with an empty bag on one hand.
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]] — Strong Sad writes that he can't jump, yet he manages to jump in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], as well as in [[Experimental Film]], [[stunt double]], and [[boring (really)]].
*Email [[dreamail]] — Strong Bad imagines the Lappy as [[Female Lappy 486|female]], but in [[animal]] he claimed it was [[The Paper|The Paper's]] "new brother."
*[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] — The ceiling of the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]] is not as high as it was in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]].
*Email [[bottom 10]] — Strong Bad's list includes "Songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics", but Strong Bad sang "Na na na" in the intro to [[secret recipes]] does it again in [[Trogday 08]], and sings "da doot doot" in [[portrait]].
*Email [[geddup noise]] — Strong Bad corrects an email that refers to [[The Geddup Noise]] as "the get up noise," as if he is unfamiliar with that name, but he had called Chairscoot by that name in [[the bet]].
*Email [[bedtime story]] — The Cheat is slightly smaller compared to the grill than he is in [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[pizza joint]].
**This was most likely deliberate both so that The Cheat could hold onto his glass of SUUDSU and so Strong Bad could fit three roach foggers into the grill.
*[[TrogdorCon '97]] — [[The Cheat]] reminds Strong Bad that he doesn't pay him, but in [[lackey]] Strong Bad pays The Cheat with pencil shavings. Similarly, in [[rough copy]], he pays The Cheat in soft tacos.
*Email [[alternate universe]] — [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] calls the modern Strong Bad a "brightly colored baboon," implying there is no color in the [[Old-Timey]] universe. However, the lyrics to [[The Ballad of The Sneak]] claimed [[The Sneak]] was yellow, and [[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]] is presented in "a color": pink hearts and a pink bouquet appear in the cartoon.
*[[Summer Short Shorts]] — The fence is seen to be between the woods and Bubs' Concession Stand, but was not at that location in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*Email [[retirement]] — The hole in the screen of the Compy 386 is smaller than it was when [[Bubs]] shotgunned it in the end of [[virus]].
**This was likely deliberate so that all the text would fit on the screen.
*Email [[coloring]] — Marzipan says that "soy is also murder", yet in [[do over]], she asked "Homestar" for the soy crisps.
*[[Happy Hallow-Day]] — This toon indicates that the [[Spooky Woods]] are only spooky during Halloween night, or at least at night. However, in [[Where's The Cheat?]], the woods appear as they do during the other Halloween toons, despite the fact it is neither Halloween nor night.
*Email [[rough copy]] — Strong Sad writes a note to himself to get a bigger notebook, and couldn't manage to write the word "notebook" on one page. However, in [[record book]] he transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto a single grain of rice, in four languages. This is further contradicted in [[DNA Evidence]], in which he writes down notes from various character confessions.
*Email [[concert]] — Strong Sad tells Strong Bad he never heard of [[Limozeen]], but they watched [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] together in [[best thing]].
*Email [[hygiene]] — [[Coach Z]] has to ask Strong Bad where he can get hygiene, but in [[senior prom]] he assures Strong Sad he is spiking the punch with [[Listerine]] only because he is "looking out for all yer hygienes."
*Email [[pizza joint]] — [[Strong Bad]] was shocked to learn that there was "competition" between his pizza joint, [[The Pizz]] and the Cheat's "Cheatsa Pizza", neglecting the existence of a ''third'' pizza brand, [[Bubs' Old Pizza]].
*Email [[nightlife]] — [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] is shown to be to the left of [[Strong Badia]], while in [[Summer Short Shorts]] and [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] Bubs' Concession Stand was on Strong Badia's right.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]] — Strong Bad translates The Cheat's prank call for Marzipan, although Marzipan has been shown as being able to understand The Cheat's language, most notably in [[Date Nite]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*[[Blubb-O's Commercial]] — Bubs managed to open the window of the [[Gremlin]], but in [[road trip]] Strong Bad said the windows could not open from the inside.
*Email [[your edge]] — The [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]] is located underneath the [[Living Room of the Brothers Strong]], but in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] it was located underneath the [[Computer Room]].
*[[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]]:
**[[Strong Bad's Room]] is located on the first floor of the [[House of the Brothers Strong]], but in [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]] and [[nightlife]] it was in the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]].
**In most cartoons, the door to the [[Computer Room]] is on the right side of the room, but in all episodes of SBCG4AP the door is on the left side.
**The computer room is missing the window that it has been shown to have in [[cheat talk]] and [[environment]].
**Strong Bad "refuses to throw away cereal boxes until he solves the mazes on the back" when he had previously beat up [[Homestar]] for wearing the mask and doing the maze on the back of boxes of Cheat Commandos... Os in [[specially marked]].
*Email [[email thunder]] — Strong Bad has to ask if Homestar has an e-mail address, but he has previously forwarded an e-mail to Homestar in [[credit card]].
*[[8-Bit Is Enough]]:
**The events of the game occur shortly after the gang all watches [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]. Even though the Computer Room had no calendar when Strong Bad brought the tape downstairs, there is one in 8-Bit is Enough.
**When Strong Bad jumps in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], he jumps straight at Marzipan. in 8-Bit Is Enough, he jumps the same place, but Marzipan isn't there anymore.
**Also, Strong Bad was surprised to learn that [[Charlemagne]] is a male; however, Strong Bad addressed the plant as a male in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*[[Hremail 7]]:
**This old-fashioned toon suggests Strong Bad knew about [[Hremails]] since 2001, yet in [[email thunder]], Strong Bad seems surprised that Homestar also has an email show.
**Strong Bad is shown to have first gotten the [[Tandy 400]] in 2001, but [[no loafing]] showed that he had it in [[1987]] as well.
**Additionally, the style of animation in this cartoon was never used in 2001.
**This email uses Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad Evolution|fourth design]], and shows that he did not know about emails back then. However, the flashbacks in [[personal favorites]] and [[lady...ing]] showed Strong Bad checking an email in his second design.
**Strong Bad had trouble saying the word "e-mail" in Hremail #7 and seemed ignorant of the Internet. But in [[looking old]], Strong Bad talked about "eStrong Vague Online Investments" that was sold in the late 1990s.
**Homestar Runner was unable to recognize a computer in [[50 emails]], despite Hremail 7 implying he understood technology in 2001.
*[[4 Gregs]] — Cheerleader says she is more of a cheerleader in the way she dresses and treats other girls, but she was seen cheering in [[Homestar Ruiner Teen Girl Squad|Homestar Ruiner]].
**She also claimed to be "off duty" in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 15]].
*Email [[hremail3184]] — Strong Bad is shown to have an email from Homestar, but in [[candy product]] he mentions that the Lappy has a Homestar junkmail filter.
*[[On Break]] — Strong Bad denies being a smoker despite the fact that he's been seen smoking a cigar in [[Store Thank You Message]].
*[[Meet Marshie]] — Homestar mentions that he hates Marshie, but in email [[winter pool]], Homestar promotes Fluffy Puff Marshmallows.

== Strong Badia? ==

When people mention Strong Badia in their emails, Strong Bad seems to have stopped bothering to either a) actually assume they mean Strong Badia, and set the email there or b) correct them. I think this is the first time he goes ahead and assumes "Strong Badia" means "Free Country USA". Worth noting? {{User:Tim333}}
:No, he does it all the time. This is not the first. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
::When has he done it before? "local news" is set in strong badia. In "keep cool" there's a deliberate fourth wall break explaining the error. "unnatural" is set (at least at the start) in Strong Badia. In "mini-golf" he says "Strong Badia doesn't have a place of its own..." I could go on, but I can't think of a single time he's simply ignored the mention of Strong Badia. {{User:Tim333}}

Technically this time he didn't quite ignore it, the FIRST place he shows is IN Strong Badia. Strong Badia has that hill. Then he says "but when it comes to good clubs...." like he's finished answering the actual e-mail and has moved on to other non-StrongBadian clubs.

Stinkoblade raises a good point here.

It does happen a lot in the heat of the moment. Newbies learn faster when you repeatedly point them to such well-trod pages as [[HRWiki:Standards]] and [[HRWiki:Inclusion guidelines]], and everyone's favorite [[HRWiki:Glossary#TTATOT]]. On the other hand, implying that their contribution wasn't even worth the extra twenty seconds to explain why it wasn't worth an extra twenty seconds has got to be frustrating. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== A scandal every week ==

Removed from the Remarks section, but interesting enough for the Talk page:
* Strong Bad's email song is rhythmically identical to the one from [[dragon]] ("Here I go once again with the email...").
Check it out. It's probably unintentional, but it's almost a perfect match. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

: It's not *that* close. Here's a comparison between the two:
http://www.alextemplemusic.com/sbemailsongs.jpg

:(Note that Strong Bad swings the eighth notes, so it comes out less stiff than what I wrote down. Still, this should be pretty accurate.)

: I felt it was very similar in both rhythm and tone (especially the slight rise at "SCAN-dal") to the chorus of the song "Give It Away" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, from their Blood Sugar Sex Magik album, which is why I originally put it there.

== Cinnamon stubble ==

It looks like Homestar has his cinnamon stubble again in this one. In the transcript, it just observes that he's "unshaved." I'm not entirely sure this is accurate, as HSR has never actually, to my knowledge, said that he shaves, and I'm pretty certain that he said he doesn't. I'm too lazy and tired to find the email where this happens, though. Anyways, should the transcript be changed to acknowledge the cinnamon-ness, or should it be pointed out as a running joke in the remarks section? Or is it understood at this point that anytime HSR has stubble that it's cinnamon, and thus it need not be mentioned? [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 09:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

At around frame 1399, when Bubs is flipping over, to the upper right you can briefly see the "ate" of the "Club Technochocolate" logo. It has been flipped horizontally from the image that was on the left, earlier.

While I was here, I noticed that in the music thread above, someone raised the point that the bot's lyrics from e-mail to qotd are different. Listen to frames ~1549-1639 (it's the scene with Bubs the bartender selling Strong Bad a Pink Elephant Pants for $17.50). From playing those frames, the bot is clearly saying something a lot longer than "don't" in the e-mail.

Singer: Have another round... 
Bot: <garglemesh> another round...
