The Castlefunnies

[[Image:old comics screenshot.png|thumb||220px|Lookit those noses!]]
[[Image:CastleFunniesSketches.png|thumb|220px|Early Castle Funnies sketches.]]

'''The Castlefunnies''' is the extremely unfunny old comic strip written by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]] and [[Levert Burtmore]]. The plot revolves around [[The King of Town]] complaining to his [[The Poopsmith|Poopsmith]].

Since it was a form of treason at the time to print the word "[[Whatsit|poop]]," The Poopsmith was referred to as "Mushy Chamberpot", which might have been the funniest part of the comic. "Mushy" spoke using only the [[Sir Loodabert Comma| newly-discovered]] [[comma]], in similarity to the [[Peanuts]] character [[Wikipedia:Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]]. At the time, this was considered comedic gold.

Readership was low, and several attempts to gain popularity were tried. A crossover involving [[Strong Bad]] and [[Homestar Runner]] worked until the sole remaining reader, a Civil War veteran and creamed corn enthusiast, died. Later, a "[[King Castlefunny Pencil Moistener]]" was released, but sales were low, as the Dry Pencil Scare of '47 lasted only three days.

Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver

SnappySoda — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:35:56 GMT

SnappySoda: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:Cold One Premium Alcoholic Screen Saver.png|thumb|Premium Alcoholic [[Cold One|Cold Ones]]]]
[[Image:Homestar Runner Face Screen Saver.png|thumb|Homestar rubs his face on the screen]]
'''{{Film|Homestar Runner}} and {{Film|Strong Bad}} Screensavers''' are both available for download on [[homestarrunner.com]] via a [[Secret Page]]. These screensavers can also be obtained by downloading the themes.

For reasons unknown, the Windows version will often ask for user authentication before downloading. If you are on Vista, you must open the .exe file as an administrator, by right clicking on the file and selecting "Run As Administator".

The Homestar Runner screen saver runs on [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]], you cannot run it on an Intel Mac. However, [[Wikipedia:SheepShaver|SheepShaver]] can emulate Mac OS versions up to version 9.0.4, though it is complicated to program, and you must have a Mac OS System Folder. If you were to use it on a PowerPC Mac, you would have to keep [[Wikipedia:Classic (Mac OS X)|Classic enviornment]] running.

==Fun Facts==
*The Homestar Runner Screensaver is called "smashface".
*If you download either screensaver and set it as your preferred one, then try to change the settings, a pop-up will appear that contains a picture of a dog and the caption "Bitbull". Bitbull is a program used to create screensavers from Flash movies, and is likely the program that was used to create these screensavers. The picture of the dog is the logo for this program.

*The text file in the uncompressed ".sit" file for the Homestar Runner screensaver says:
<blockquote> INSTRUCTIONS: 
To make your Homestar or Strong Bad screensaver magic happen, do this: 
copy the screensaver file into your Control Panels folder and then restart your computer 
Then, when you look at your Control Panels under your Apple menu, there they are! 
Go for it! Against the opposition! Move ahead! It's not too late! Work from home! Earn 
Extra Cash! Everybody! Everybody! 

-the brothers chaps
</blockquote>

*When you open the file, a window pops up with a different message for each screensaver.
:The Homestar Runner screensaver says:
:<blockquote> Do you want Homestar [[All up ons|all up in]] your computer? GO FOR IT!! No Way, Man</blockquote>
:If you click "GO FOR IT!!", the following message appears:
:<blockquote> You did it! Let the good times roll! </blockquote>
:The Strong Bad screensaver says:
:<blockquote> Do you want to unleash Strong Bad on your unsuspecting computer GO FOR IT!! No Way, Guys</blockquote>
:If you click "GO FOR IT!!", the following message appears:
:<blockquote> Holy [[Crap]]! It worked! </blockquote>
*If you click "GO FOR IT!!" and the installation fails, the following message appears:
:<blockquote>Oops. You broke it.</blockquote>

All up ons

SnappySoda — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:33:02 GMT

SnappySoda: /* All up ins */

[[Image:All up ons.PNG|thumb|310px|"Well, Strong Sad, it means they really like you."]]
"'''All up ons'''" is a colloquial usage describing popularity. As [[Strong Bad]] explained to [[Strong Sad]], "It means they really like you". However, the phrase appears in many places in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work that don't have anything to do with this usage, often where "up on" would be sufficient.

A variation on this phrase has also occurred in the form of "All up ''ins''", which simply means in.

==All up ons==

*'''Debut''': Email [[suntan]] — The origin of the saying: Strong Bad made Strong Sad to say it in an advertisement for the [[Ab-Abber 2000]]. The Ab-Abber's slogan is "They'll be ''all up ons''!" This may be a variation of the phrase "all up on us" used by Strong Bad earlier in the same email.

*Email [[lady fan]] — In a panel of the comic [[Buck Webb, Extraordinaire]], Strong Bad advises the sender of the email to drop his girlfriend if she is not ''all up ons'' after all the "extra special cool" things Strong Bad has done to impress her.
*[[Thy Dungeonman 3]] — Near the beginning of the game, the phrase "shimmy ''all up on'' the dead dongrel" is used.
*Email [[senior prom]] — Strong Bad crashes the "Entrapment ''All Up On'' the Moon" Dance.

== All up ins ==

*[[Homestar_Runner_and_Strong_Bad_Screensaver|Homestar Runner Screensaver]] — A window asks if you want "Homestar ''all up in'' your computer."
*[[Trudgemank]] — [[Peacey P]] has "metal-heads ''all up in''" his STU G.O.
*Email [[theme park]] (Easter egg) — [[Cheerleader]] uses the line "''all up in'' my BWEEZ-NASS!!"
*[[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]] — Strong Bad says the camera is "all up in the safe".
*Email [[geddup noise]] — [[Radio Stations and Shows#The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew|The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew]] has [[The Geddup Noise]] "''all up in'' this piece".

Duck Guardian 2

SnappySoda — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:56:15 GMT

SnappySoda:

[[Image:duckguardian2box.PNG|thumb|220px|Starring the popular Ron Planet!]]
'''Duck Guardian 2''', another game designed by [[Videlectrix]], is the sequel to the H*R game [[Duck Guardian One]]. The sequel and its predecessor appear to be the same in gameplay, and there is only one noticeable difference between the games at a glance: Duck Guardian 2 introduces a character, Ron Planet.

Unlike its predecessor, Duck Guardian 2 is not actually available for play. It does appear to be an actual game within the H*R realm, however. In an older version of the website's [[Email FAQ|FAQ]], [[Strong Bad]] urges the viewer to hurry up and pick a question, as he wants to play his new copy of the game.

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{The title appears — ''"LET US GIVE TANKS!!" written by A. Chimendez'' — over a shot of the Cheat Commando base in red, orange, yellow, and brown hills in the background and falling leaves. Light, percussive music plays.}''

''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip are in front of the control panel and video screen, watching shaky video of three Cheat Commandos being assaulted by blue lasers and explosions on a smoky, war-torn landscape.}''

'''GREEN HELMET:''' We're taking heavy losses, sir. They've got us pinned down! We really need—

''{The video image is interrupted by the Blue Las-alert siren and a yellow and orange screen with the text, "Thanksgiving Break Alert".}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right! Thanksgiving break!

''{The screen fades through static back to the Cheat Commandos.}''

'''GREEN HELMET:''' But sir! We could really use some—

''{Gunhaver turns off the monitor and turns to Silent Rip.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' I ''love'' Thanksgiving break!

''{Focus on Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, shouldn't we go help him?

''{Cut out to include Gunhaver, along with Reinforcements and Crackotage.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Naw, he's just one of those green helmets. We got like fifty of them. So, what's everybody doing for the holiday?

''{Shift to Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' I'm going to stay at my parents' house! If they haven't rented out my room... again... to my brother.

''{Gunhaver salutes the Cheat Commandos as they leave.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Well, have a good time, soldiers. I'll just be here in case Blue Laser tries to blow up over-the-river-and-through-the-woods... so that no one to grandmother's house... can go.

''{Shift to a small cottage in the autumn woods with a gravel path and smoke rising out of the stone chimney. Transition music plays.}''

''{Cut to the inside of the cottage. A Blue Laser minion is preparing a turkey in the kitchen. Blue Laser Commander enters, brandishing a meat fork.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I thought I told you to fiendishly dice the evil onions!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' No sir.

''{Pan to a second Blue Laser Minion chopping onions with fiendish faces drawn on them on the counter.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' That was me, sir.

''{Pan back to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I can never tell you two apart! Yah! ''{Hurls the meat fork into the offscreen minion's eye.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' Ow!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' There! Now you're the one with the fork stuck in your eye!

''{The door crashes open and Fightgar, Firebert, and Silent Rip enter, armed with guns.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Sorry Blue Laser — the only thanks ''you'll'' be giving is getting shot by us with our bullet-shooting guns!

''{Blue Laser Commander approaches the Cheat Commandos.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''WHAT?!''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Aw, just kiddin'. ''{Smiles, along with Firebert.}'' Thanks for havin' us over!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{laughs and smiles}'' You really had me going for a second there. Get in here, you guys!

''{Fightgar, Firebert, and Silent Rip enter, followed by Ripberger.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ripberger, you made it! ''{Ripberger stops at the door}'' I thought you were only available for a limited time with three proofs of purchase!

'''RIPBERGER:''' I brought some ambrosia salad! ''{displays the salad}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Uh! Where's Gunhaver?!

''{Cut to Fightgar and Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{scratching his head}'' Uh, we kinda didn't give him your invitation. Gunhaver has a bit of a hard time cutting loose.

''{Cut to Gunhaver in the Cheat Commandos base, saluting a flag labeled "The Flag" which is being blown by a fan.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Forty-seven! Forty-eight! Forty-nine! Fifty! C'mon Gunhaver, you maggot! Give me fifty more! One! Two! Three!

''{Cut back to the cottage, with Blue Laser Commander and Fightgar at a table with plates, the turkey, and yams with marshmallows.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh... I guess... Claude Monet, and um... Manchester United!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' That's good, that's good! Now what about you, Silent Rip?

''{Pan over to Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I'm thankful for this bountiful Blue Laser Thanksgiving action playset!

''{A "ding" noise is heard and the words "CHEAP AS FREE" appear in a cloud bubble in the corner.}''

''{Cut to Crackotage.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I'm thankful for the gift of rhyme!!

''{Cut to Ripberger.}''

'''RIPBERGER:''' Ambrosia salad!

''{Cut back to Crackotage.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I'm also thankful for this lime! ''{holds up a lime}'' Hibbety-jeebity!

''{Cuts to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Plutonium at closeout prices!

''{Cut to a Blue Laser minion.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' I'm thankful I don't have a fork in my eye, sir.

''{Cut back to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' My Nana's new hip!

''{Cut to the Blue Laser minion with a fork stuck through his visor into his eye.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION WITH FORK IN EYE:''' I'm... thankful for this fork in my eye.

''{Cuts to Gunhaver, facing the camera in front of the control panel.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So I exchanged it for something of lesser value, and they gave me the rest in store credit!

''{Cut to reveal him standing in front of the video monitor with the Cheat Commando green helmet onscreen.}''

'''GREEN HELMET:''' That's great, sir. A real value. But we could really use some air support!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Yeah, I should go too. Gotta check in on Blue Laser.

'''GREEN HELMET:''' Please, NO—

''{Gunhaver brings up the Blue Laser cottage on the video monitor, showing Blue Laser Commander, Fightgar, Silent Rip, and a Blue Laser minion at the table with the turkey.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ambros-er-a salad... sayin' right, right, right, right...

'''GUNHAVER:''' Tight buns! Blue Laser's captured the Cheat Commandos and is forcing them to sit down to a delicious meal and pleasant conversation! Hang on, boys. Daddy Gunhavvy's on his way! ''{walks away from the monitor}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' But I'm ''not'' thankful for that guy over there with the camera!

''{Cut to Reinforcements, who is using a camera and lights to record the Thanksgiving dinner.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{Focus on Silent Rip and Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh-oh. You know what ''that'' means.

''{Cuts to Fightgar.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' It won't be long before...

''{Gunhaver pops out of the turkey holding a handgun. The Cheat Commandos theme music plays in the background.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Gobble, gobble... you're in trobble!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, that's not bad!

''{Cut to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Gunhaver! You actually have a gun!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver, with the silhouettes of two Cheat Commandos in the foreground.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Cheat Commandos, run! For cover! ''{camera zooms in}'' Blue Laser is clearly trying to have you all over for dinner!

''{Cut to Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, yeah! He invited you too. But we didn't tell you because we were afraid you'd do something like this!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' And I did! The Cheat Commandos win again!

''{Cut to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Well, since you're here... ''{clasps his hands together}'' Play us a song, won't you, Charles?

''{Pan past several Cheat Commandos, all murmuring in agreement}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' A—a song? No, I couldn't possibly... it's been so long, I...

''{Cut back to Gunhaver, with a small, dirty Cheat Commando wearing a cap behind him.}''

'''OLIVER SMIDGEN:''' Won't you play us a song, Gun'aver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right, you talked me into it. One song!

''{Cut to Gunhaver sitting at a black upright piano with the Cheat Commandos and Blue Laser gathered around.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' This is one everybody knows, so give me a hand, boys. ''{begins playing the piano and singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS AND BLUE LASER:''' Ooh!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

''{Ripberger descends upside-down from the ceiling.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS AND BLUE LASER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Toys!

''{Pan past Fightgar, Silent Rip, and the Blue Laser minion with the fork in his eye. Focus on the piano keys, on which Gunhaver is playing diddy tune of the Cheat Commandos theme song, and then cut back to everyone in front of the piano.}''

'''ALL:''' Yeah!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' A holiday classic!

''{Smoke begins wafting through the the room.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, what's that smell?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' How should I know? You're the one called Silent Rip!

'''GUNHAVER:''' That's all me. I stuck a nuclear device in the oven in case I didn't make it out of here alive! ''{several of the attendees open their mouths in surprise}''

''{Cut to Reynold's room, with his brother playing video games. There are several speakers in the room; the one in the foreground is pulsating as it plays music. The Blue Laser cottage can be seen outside the window with smoke rising from it.}''

'''MUSIC:''' ''No one understands me! No one understands me!''

''{Reynold enters the room, covering his ears.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Will you turn that noise down?!

'''REYNOLD'S BROTHER:''' You're so lame.

'''MUSIC:''' ''No one understands me... but YOU!''

''{The Blue Laser cottage explodes in a mushroom cloud at the end of the song and the glass window of Reynold's room shatters.}''

''{Cut to a picture of Gunhaver coming out of the turkey, with the message, "Happy Thanksgiving! from those Cheat Commandos". The "Buy all our playsets and toys" music plays, without lyrics.}''

*At the end, click on the turkey drumstick to see Blue Laser order around a minion. 
*:'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Holding a plate of food}'' I need you to take this plate of food, make a milkshake out of it, and spread it on Nana's gums for her! 
*:'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' I'm going to go ahead and disobey a direct order, sir. 
*:'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Understandable!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The "Green Helmets" are minor, expendable characters added so "heroes" can die without losing any members of the main cast. Such characters are frequently called "[[Wikipedia:Redshirt (character)|Redshirts]]", due to the fact that such characters in [[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]] usually wore red shirts; in G.I. Joe, they were called "[[Wikipedia:Greenshirts (G.I. Joe)|Greenshirts]]".
*[[Wikipedia:Ambrosia (fruit salad)|Ambrosia salad]] is a fruit salad variation that contains sour cream, whipped cream, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and coconut. Some variations also contain bananas, strawberries, or miniature marshmallows.
*Oliver's pronunciation of Gunhaver as "Gun'aver" is a play on "Guv'nor," a term of British origin used to refer to a person of higher social status.

===Trivia===
*Crackotage's "Hey, that's not bad!" line is the first time he is heard not attempting to conclude what he says with a rhyme.
*This toon contains a fairly rare appearance of an actual [[Guns|handgun]].

===Remarks===
*The leaves at the beginning fall ''in front of'' the [[Wikipedia:character generator|character-generated]] title.
*Gunhaver is shown playing C E F B♭ F E. The notes heard are G G A B♭ A G.
*In action figure form, Reynold's brother still has cartoon-style eyes, although it may be because of his disgruntled facial expression.
*When Fightgar enters Blue Laser Cottage, he threatens Blue Laser Commander with "bullet-shooting guns." The Cheat Commando weapons normally fire lasers.
*Reynold's brother's box says he is a child of the '90s, meaning he is somewhere between age 6 and age 16 at the time of the toon's release.
*If you look closely at [[Gunhaver's gun]] when he bursts out of the turkey, the lines are not properly drawn as one of them is at a slightly awkward angle.
*During the song, [[Ripberger]]'s mouth doesn't move. However, his body moves as though he is singing.
*The fork in the injured Blue Laser Minion's eye switches eyes depending on which direction he is facing. This is due to the fact that each character simply [[Flipped Images|flips horizontally]] when facing a different direction, rather than being redrawn.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Cheat Commandos Lime No Decend.PNG|thumb| I'm also thankful for this floating lime! Hibbety-jeebity!]]
*Crackotage's arm originally went down after showing the lime, but the lime didn't descend with his arm. This was fixed by removing the downwards arm movement. 

===Inside References===
*The Lil' Steiny piano is a reference to [[Strong Badman Characters#Stiny|Stiny]]'s nickname, Li'l Stiny, from [[superhero name]]. ''(See also: Real-World References)''
*The page title refers to [[A. Chimendez]].
*This is another instance of [[blood]] in a cartoon.
*This is another instance of [[Cheap as Free]] in a cartoon.
*The price of each Easter egg [[Action Figure Character Variations|action figure]] is [[$11.01]].
*The appearance of Ripberger and Reinforcements originated from ideas mentioned in the commentaries for the Cheat Commandos on [[Everything Else, Volume 2]].
*The [[explosions]] on the battlefield with the Green Helmets are the same ones used in [[Sundae Drivin']], as seen in [[redesign]].

===Real-World References===
*The Lil' Steiny piano is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Steinway & Sons|Steinway & Sons]] pianos. ''(See also: Inside References)''
*[[Wikipedia:Over the River and Through the Woods|Over the River and Through the Woods]] is a popular holiday song written by Lydia Maria Child.
*Oliver Smidgen is an allusion to the title character of ''[[Wikipedia:Oliver Twist|Oliver Twist]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Claude Monet|Claude Monet]] (1840-1926) was a French Impressionist painter.
*[[Wikipedia:Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] Football Club is the English football team most well-known to Americans through [[Wikipedia:David Beckham|David Beckham]]. The reference is also made funnier by the joke associated with the club, that it attracts fans from all corners of the globe except Manchester itself (a recent study showed people with Manchester-area post codes are more likely to support [[Wikipedia:Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]).
*The poster in Reynold's brother's room displays the [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]] symbol.
*The gun that Gunhaver is holding resembles a Colt .45 [[Wikipedia:M1911|M1911]].
*The end of Gunhaver's song on the piano bears a strong resemblance to the ending of ''[[Wikipedia:Rhapsody in Blue|Rhapsody in Blue]]'' by [[Wikipedia:George Gershwin|George Gershwin]].
*In the toy Easter egg, The "Next Gen Gamepad" on the box for Reynold's brother most closely resembles that of the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], which was considered a next-generation console in the early 1990s. Incidentally, two [[Wikipedia:History of video game consoles (seventh generation)|new game consoles]], the [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]] and the [[Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]], were released just a few days before this toon.
*Oxi Clean is a brand of general-purpose cleaning products.
*The "no one understands me" song is a parody of punk emo rock, with one of the stereotypical themes of teenage angst being "nobody understands me", and the music and song tone coming from punk rock.

===Fast Forward===
*Reynold's brother makes an appearance again later in [[An Important Rap Song]].
*The Commandos get "another lame Thanksgiving special" in [[Toikey TV]].
*Gunhaver would later be called Charles in [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]].
*In future Cheat Commandos episodes, the Blue Laser Minion's eye is completely healed, making the two of them once again indistinguishable.

==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:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' It's fall!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Look at the— The autumn hills by the Cheat Commandos headquarters!

'''MATT:''' The actual hills have changed color. Oh, the poor green helmets, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So was there a green helmet version in ''G.I. Joe''? Was there just kind of a generic—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, there was—

'''MIKE:''' —soldier guy?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. There was just this dude, he— he— he just had a... green... y'know, outfit on and a green helmet and he just— whenever they needed a lot of guys to be running somewhere and didn't want to draw a bunch of different drawings, just a bunch of that guy running in the background.

''{pause as the Commandos leave Gunhaver}''

'''MATT:''' This is kind of sad. Nobody wants to hang out with Gunhaver, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' They seem to enjoy his stories, usually, at the beginning of cartoons.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. When he told Blue Laser that he better break himself?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, they love that.

'''MATT:''' Ummm... I really like Nana's cottage.

'''MIKE:''' Nana's... got some style.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Her backyard's kinda nice.

'''MATT:''' That Blue Laser, uh, solider there is put'n a nice rub on that turkey.

''{laughing}''

'''MATT:''' On that fully cooked turkey.

'''MIKE:''' Doesn't Bubs rub a chicken at some point?

'''MATT:''' He was shine'n up a chicken.

'''MIKE:''' Shine'n up a chicken.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' That would be the very— you'd have to send away maybe for the... the Blue Laser trooper with the fork stuck in his eye.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with some proofs of purchase.

'''MATT:''' It'd be worth way more.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Don't— don't you have a scarf like that—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I do!

'''MIKE:''' —in the background?

'''MATT:''' It sorta looks like a... a Gryfindor scarf, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Mmmhmmm.

'''MATT:''' But I think those are crimson and gold.

'''MIKE:''' Andwho— who is that? Is that Ripberger?

'''MATT:''' That's Ripberger, Mike! This is his first appearance! He was only avalible with... two proofs of purchase.

'''MIKE:''' The Ripberger's lived behind us in Indiana.

'''MATT:''' That's true. Bill Ripberger. He's the only Ripberger I remember—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}''

'''MATT:''' —by name.

''{pause as Gunhaver salutes "The Flag"}''

'''MATT:''' The Flag!

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So they're talking about what they're thankful for here.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, what are you thankful for, Mike, on this... this nice day? In September.

'''MIKE:''' Ummmm...

'''MATT:''' It's almost your birthday.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I'm thankful that tomorrow I'm gonna get a bunch of awesome presents.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''MIKE:''' {overlapping}Yeah.

'''MATT:''' From— from who?

'''MIKE:''' Uh... My daughter—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}''Yeah, your one-year-old?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}''You... My daughter...

'''MATT:''' —the dogs?

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' What else, Mike? We're listening to it again—

'''MIKE:''' Uh yeah—Yeah! Sometimes I just get mesmerized by our hilarious cartoons and I just have to watch them.

'''MATT:''' That fork in his eye is gross.

'''MIKE:''' This is the extra depressing too—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh this is my favorite part right here!

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah I should go to! Somehow he interpreted that as he had to go...

'''MIKE:''' ''{sigh}''

'''MATT:''' So, but if Blue Laser is at Nana's who is— Who are the green helmets fighting?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I never thought of that!

'''MATT:''' Because both... both forces the leaders are main people—

'''MIKE:''' They're— They're fighting the Dreadnought.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Is that what they were called?

'''MATT:''' The Dreadnoughts.

'''MIKE:''' Dreadnoughts. They were just kinda the middle-in-between, can be good, can be bad—

'''MATT:''' Yeah they kinda were mainly bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' They, they, they were—

'''MIKE:''' But they weren't Cobra, right?

'''MATT:''' They were supposed to be for hire! They were supposed to be mercenaries.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' But G.I.Joe ''{laughing}'' never really took advantage of their services.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, so that way we just address my favorite thing in, in old cartoons. Where they show you a scene, and then the good guys or the bad guys would just be watching that scene—

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' —of the opposing team. From the exact same viewpoint.

'''BOTH:''' ''{laughing}''

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' And it would change angles too. That was the best part, where it was like, do they have a producer? I think we've talked about that before.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' How did he get inside that turkey, man? That's gross.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Charles Gunhaver.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}''

'''MATT:''' I love the idea, he's like the, just the perfect alpha bear, like comes home with the family and even knows how to play little songs, like "Let's all gather around!"

'''MIKE:''' Did we give a name to that little, uh... little Dickens's's boy?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think so. Isn't there—there's an Easter egg with him in it.

'''MIKE:''' Oh is there? Oh, okay! It's, it's, it's his figure.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Maybe, someday, I'll watch that and find out what his name is.

''{laughing}''

'''MATT:''' Lil' Steiny— look at that. That's a good joke, Mike. Steinway pianos. Look, Ripberger's on the ceiling like ninja's— like a red ninja should be.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}''

'''MATT:''' That ninja's not going to blend in with anything, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Except, perhaps, a red ceiling.

'''MATT:''' Looks like a red, laytex catsuit thing.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. It looks like pretty thick laytex too.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Renyold's brother! Nice 'stache!

'''MIKE:''' He has a pierced... point of his... cheatness.

'''MATT:''' What is he playing? It looks like he's playing Road Rash. On the Genesis.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Thanks. Giving.

===Fun Facts===
*The line of Gunhaver telling Blue Laser to "break himself" refers to the opening scene in [[Shopping for Danger]].

Talk:Fan Costumes '09

SnappySoda — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:31:09 GMT

SnappySoda: /* Possibly a Fan Costume of a Fan Character? */

== Which user are you supposed to be? ==
I made it! I was the Where's an Egg man! And Movie Magic Man was one of the "terrible Homestar"s.{{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 05:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:And Monkeytender was The Umpire! [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 06:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys, congrats. Per precedent from last year, and also just per our careful standards of documentation, we need you to demonstrate some evidence that you are indeed the people in this toon before it can be in the article. For that reason, I've removed the following for the time being:

*The person dressed as the character from [[Where's an Egg?]] is Wiki user [[User:Strong Vader|Strong Vader]].
*The person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Movie magic man|Movie magic man]].
*The second-last person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Open Source Greg|Open Source Greg]]

If you could provide some documentation that these are true, we can put 'em back real quick-like. You may notice I have not removed Monkeytender's. This is because he made [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=801674#p801674 this post] at the forum in advance of this toon's release, which seems to corroborate his claim. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, as for Movie magic man's, I'm pretty sure that picture of him in the same costume as the one from the toon has been up on his wiki page for nearly a week now. {{User:The Wheelchair/sig}} 14:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Go to the Telltale Games Forums. On there I am called The Highway, there's even a link to my User page on the wiki from my user name on the ttg forum. I started a thread called the official Halloween costumes thread, for people to post their costumes. I hope this I evident enough that I am on the costumes toon. EDIT: how about I post a message on the ttg drums stating that the picture is of I, open source Greg, and I will include a link to the thread. http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13129 that is the thread. Check the last post, then please restore my name to the artcle.{{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 15:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

So, what do I have to do? Show you a [http://yfrog.com/9ewheresaneggscreenshotp screenshot] of my email client with part of the image? What about a [http://yfrog.com/j3wheresaneggscreenshotfup screenshot] of the full screen of my email client with the image? What about [http://yfrog.com/05wheresaneggj the original image?] And the fact that I had my [[:File:Charles Jang.jpg|picture of myself]] on my userpage, to which those could be compared. Is that enough? And the fact that the II in my Where's an Egg II background was cut off in order to fit on Strong Bad's projector screen? {{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 16:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, that's enough. For the record (i.e. for others who want to make a claim), screenshots of emails aren't that convincing, especially if you upload them after the fact, because they could easily be faked. More convincing is the file where you show the whole image that you sent. Alternate takes or angles or images where you show yourself putting the costume together would also be good. Ultimately the most convincing image for me is the picture you uploaded of yourself months ago. Can't really fake that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

The only way I can convince you that my costume is the garden boy costume is:
# I changed the link that says Strong Sad to Garden Boy, which leads to [[AWMPSCE]]
# I can upload the picture and put it on here, but I've never uploaded a picture before

{{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 20:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:See [[Help:Image]] and [[Special:Upload]]. We need something more than just your word for it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::How's this? File:Garden Boy Costume.JPG. IS THAT ENOUGH?!?! Also, sorry for putting the first paragraph on your talk page. {{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 00:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC) oh, and NO LINK FOR YOU!!

May I say that [[User:Ben Again|I]] made it into the fan costume thing too? I'm the second last guy. I don't really know how to prove it, but [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=220440&postcount=2 here]'s a link to a post I made a while back with a pic of my costume(The same one I sent 'em).

== Stave ==

Can we stop calling the "stave it off" guy Davey now? I'd do it, but I actually have a job that pays cash-type money. There's got to be some industrious 13-year-old that can do it during 4th period study hall.--[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 14:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:This is being discussed at [[Talk:Davey]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Text smoothing ==

As of Flash 8, you can set text smoothing to use a more detailed method intended for non-moving text (I believe it's called "antialias for readability", but I don't have Flash installed at the moment so I can't check). The captions at the end use the second type; this is the first time I've seen it or any other Flash 8 effect other than blurring. Does, or should, anybody give a crap? Seeing how we've mentioned in the past when a cartoon has a higher sound quality than usual... [[User:Octan|Octan]] 17:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
]
:If you're sure it was used, I say add the info. It certainly can't hurt. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 00:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Can I just add it? ==

Ben Again can corrorborrate my story that I am the secod last terrible homestar, and I provided the facts above. Can I just add it? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 13:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Possibly a Fan Costume of a Fan Character? ==
You may notice that the 13th terrible Homestar costume has a different color scheme than the real Homestar Runner. The girl is wearing black pants, a black star, and the brim of her hat is black. This is actually the color scheme of a, not unpopular, fan made character called AntiHomestar. Reference picture [http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/art/OA20x6-yoink-112767444]. I have no way to prove this, but the resemblance is too close not to notice. One of the creators of the fan character is looking for[http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/journal/28230356/#comments|] the costumed person. Even if this person is not dressed as said fan character, perhaps the difference in the color scheme should be noted? [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]]
: This was confirmed (see above link), so I'm adding it. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 20:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Alright, so, I realize you [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Fan_Costumes_%2709&curid=50908&diff=685599&oldid=685597&rcid=645773 took my edit down], but could we possibly discuss this a little more? I do think it's useful to note. If you don't like the link, that can be left out. No problem with that. Saying that this variation shouldn't be mentioned is a different story. The other variations, like Dangeresque Too, are mentioned at the top of the page in the "Costumes depicted" list. This fan character is not. It's also the first I've ever seen of a fan character costume being featured on the site. I don't see why this shouldn't be mentioned at all. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 20:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:I would not be against some note being made. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.213|132.183.151.213]] 20:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::I want to see a direct link to this antihomestar thing. Also, someone saying that it's him elsewhere does not constitute proof. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:::That same someone also posted a link http://themuffinator3.deviantart.com/art/smiles-awkwardly-143201159 to another picture of her with that costume, and that is enough proof. I think it should be noted - Not in the cast, but in the Fun Facts. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 21:02, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::::Oh, i didn't see the comments, just the first "which one of you dressed up as" post. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:10, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::::: May I ask WHO IS Antihomestar? I've never heard of him. What is it exactly? A link or picture would really help. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 21:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::: The referance picture linked by SnappySoda works if you remove the "|here" part from the adress. ;) --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 22:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
::::::: Holy cow, forgive my wiki-stupid, please. *headdesk* Yes, there are links above. I am hesitant to provide anymore links, as the girls who made him admit that the fanfiction he was created for is "some weird kind of horrible," and may offend some people's taste. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 22:31, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

== Prof. Experimento ==

I thought this was interesting: The shot used of Professor Experimento is the exact one used on the [[Professor Experimento]] page on the Wiki. Since he was never made in Flash, they'd likely have to go to the game to get a shot of him... or just use the one someone else already made. :) [[:File:Drexperimento.PNG|Here]] is the Wiki's image. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 22:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
: Nice catch. They ''are'' the same. Looks like the Bros Chos got a little lazy. Or else they recognize us as a great source. The latter being more likely. 'Cause they did it before. You know what, go with the second one. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 22:42, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Coupons ==

I believe if your costume was showcased you were emailed a 10% discount voucher code by tbc. What did the winners recieve? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
: Speaking from experience grumble, you got that even if your costume/pumpkin was ''not'' showcased. The message advertising the contest stated that the reward would be a $20 discount from the store; maybe they two stack? Or something? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::Aw, Jay, are you upset? And thanks for clearing that up. I'm really happy about my discount! Should this go on the page, though? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:::Hmmm... If so, if you buy more then 200$ worth of stuff, you save more money then the winners. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 21:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Second Last ==

The Trivia section says "The person dressed as the '''second last''' "terrible Homestar" is user Open Source Greg." Is this supposed to be "last" or "second to last"?
:second to last. Im fix it. [[User:Movie magic man|Movie magic man]] 01:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

::Second last would still make sense, though. [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 19:56, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

== Missing a few? ==

I noticed something. There's at least one loading screen missing! [[Hremail 7]]'s loading screen is MIA! There's actually probably more than one...

4 Gregs, Hremail 7 (although a lot like "old Homestar, tap that foot"), from work (Corpy loading screen), One Two, One Two (and the Mix-Masta), KOT's VOQPCS, The Li'l Brudder Show, Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag, First Time Here? (a lot like Fluffy Puff Commercial though), Happy Trogday, Trogday '08, Decemberween Kids' Book, Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, all Puppet Stuff, all Character Videos, Super NES, Lappynapped!, Broken Compy Menu

I know the last two aren't on the site anymore, but neither is Eggs, and Non-Sequitur Champion never was.
--[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 21:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

:What about the loading screen in games? Should we just include the missing loading screens from cartoons? -[[User:Philip8o|Philip8o]] 21:55, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:: I think that they intentionally only did cartoons and such (although the Yearbook character page is on there...) --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 22:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

There is a Teen Girl Squad loading screen included in the toon. Should that count for all of the issues, or should the ones with different backgrounds (e.g. [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]) be listed in the "not included" section? The letters and pattern and everything is the same, but the background paper is different. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:47, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
: I think that TGS7 should be included in the "not included" list. I'll go do that now. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 15:28, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

== Fast Forward ==

So... are we going to have to put a fast forward on every single page that has a loading screen featured in this short? -[[User:Philip8o|Philip8o]] 21:53, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think that would be necessary... we don't include "The word ______ from this email is re-used in [[rock opera]]" on every email before then, do we? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
::I actually disagree, DeFender. There's a difference between the same word appearing twice and the same loading screen appearing. I see it as being sort of like the sound effects page. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:::It's not just the same word, it's the same clip. A better example might have been [[160 Seconds]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
:Putting a fast forward would be rather time-consuming, so, as discussed above, making a list may be much less extensive. (but still, in my book, very time consuming unless you have a photographic memory of every loading screen)--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 05:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

== Inside Reference ==

I tried editing the page, but I couldn't get any of the capchas. Any of them. So, something about Coach Z rapping? Yah?
:Yeah. Isn't this, like, the first time Coach Z successfully free-styled it? --[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 05:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
::didn't he successfully free-style in an easter egg in [[being mean]] though? not sure if that's notable, or this if that one doesn't count since i don't think he finished that one {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if either counts as freestyle, since you have to make it up on the spot. In [[being mean]], knowing that the whole play was obviously rehearsed, he may have written the lines before. The same goes here. On the other hand, since the song in [[being mean]] doesn't have a lot of different words, it could be freestyle. I'll need input from others to make up my mind.(I hope I'm not breaking any rules by speculating)--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 05:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
: Coach Z's voice sounds different to me... maybe he's just talking (rapping) faster, but I almost wonder if the other Chapman did it or something... anyone? -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]]

== kindofasortofanidea!==

this might be a stupid idea, but... Maybe there's a reason why this toon has better sound quality? Why??? I'll tell you why! The Loading screens song could be put up for download? [[User:Terminal D6]]
:Yeah... OR it could just be a well recorded song. Does everything need to mean something else? I think it is just a kawinkyink, and I never noticed it until the wiki pointed it out? {unnesicary question mark} If it is ever put up for downloads, though, you can make me tell you that you-were-right-and-I was-wrong as many times as you'd like. Eat a steak, --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 01:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Sad? ==

Am I crazy, or did I hear Strong Sad during the part that began with the email loading screens? --[[Special:Contributions/68.99.241.181|68.99.241.181]] 22:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
: I'm pretty sure that's just Coach Z singing with his usual speech impediment. But you're partly right: it does sound kind of high-pitched and soft.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 22:51, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

== An observation ==

''"So much more of Coach Z that remains to be seen"''. Anyone think there could be some significance to that line? Maybe Coach Z will be more prominent in an upcoming toon or something?--{{User:Original Nick/Sig}} 04:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
:Sounds like a good topic for the [[Forum:|forum]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

== Total Load ==

One of the inside references here lists that Strong Bad is singing about [[Total Load]] the product. I think this is more likely just a use of the word [[total]] - he's refering to the loading screens, not the powder. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 02:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Made-up Real Things

SnappySoda — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:03:16 GMT

[[Image:senorialsmall.PNG|thumb|"Wait, is Senor Cardgage real?!"]]

<blockquote>''I kinda black out a lot lately and when I wake up sometimes things I made up in my brain come to life. I practically pee my pants every time a Cheat Commandos comes on.''
:— [[Strong Bad]], [[Decomposing Pumpkins]] FeedBurner description
</blockquote>

In the continuity of the [[Homestar Runner universe]], it's often unclear if things are [[History According To Strong Bad|made up]] or really happen. Occasionally, something that is '''clearly made up''' during one toon '''later appears as a real thing''' in another toon, without any particular reason or cause. While a fair number of these instances have been fruits of [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination, the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] have periodically created something in their heads that later on mysteriously become real. Whether or not the inventors of these mind-bending, reality-defying creatures and creations had anything to do with them, or if they pre-existed their alleged conception, is never revealed nor explained for the most part, so this bizzare, blurred line between fantasy and reality remains one of the great unexplicable mysteries in the Homestar Runner universe.

*Both [[The Goblin]] and the [[Visor Robot]] were made up (by [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Strong Bad]], respectively) in [[Homestarloween Party]], and became real in [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*When Strong Bad listed [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]] in [[band names]], it was implied that he was making them up on the spot (indeed, that's what [[TBC]] were doing), not listing bands that already existed in the Homestar Runner universe.
*[[Stinkoman]] from [[20X6]] was originally made up by Strong Bad to describe himself as a japanese cartoon. He makes an appearance in [[Free Country, USA]] in the Halloween cartoon [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]. [[20X6]] was shown to be real in the email [[alternate universe]].
*[[Trogdor]] was drawn by [[Strong Bad]] in the email [[dragon]], received his own video game in [[TROGDOR!]], then appeared outside Strong Bad's window in [[Trogday 08]].
*[[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] was made up by Strong Bad in response to an email asking him to create a [[crazy cartoon]]. Later, Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are seen watching [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|an episode of it]] on TV. Unlike other instances of this phenomenon, Strong Bad actually notices, and asks "didn't I invent this cartoon?". The characters and place of the cartoon became real in [[mini-golf]].
*[[Vector Strong Bad]] was made up by Strong Bad for the game [[StrongBadZone]], but became real in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]].
*[[Senor Cardgage]] was just a creepy comb-over version of Strong Bad until [[Senor Mortgage]] came along.
**The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] description for Senor Mortgage read: "Wait, is Senor Cardgage real?!"
*In [[army]], [[The Cheat]] dressed up as [[Firebert]], a character he most likely made up. This later started the [[Cheat Commandos]], an actual television show in [[Free Country, USA]].
*[[Li'l Brudder]] and [[Tendafoot]] were drawn by Strong Bad, but became a TV show in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]].
*The [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] was made up by Strong Bad in the email [[montage]]. It later appeared in [[Senorial Day]].
*[[Da Huuuuuudge]] and [[Sterrance]] were both made up by Strong Bad in [[animal]], but became real in [[alternate universe]].
*When introduced in [[animal]], the [[Lappy 486]] was a he. In [[dreamail]], Strong Bad imagined it as a she, and she's been that way ever since.
*The [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]] bar originally appeared in [[candy product]] as Strong Bad's hypothetical candy bar, but Pom Pom later pulls out a bag of Fun-Sized versions of said candy bar in [[Most in the Graveyard]].
*[[Onion Bubs]] was first mentioned in [[original]] as being a stand-in for the departed [[Original Bubs]], though both Bubs and Marzipan indicate Strong Bad made the whole story up. Nevertheless, Onion Bubs shows up again in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], and later in [[Kick-a-Ball]], and Onion Bubs' alleged fans have screamed out his name in [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], and in an easter egg in [[dictionary]]. He was finally confirmed as "real" when Bubs's head landed near him in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]].
*Many characters and places from [[Videlectrix]] games were made up, but became real in [[8-Bit is Enough]]; most notably elements from [[Peasant's Quest]], [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Halfathalon]], [[Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder]], and [[Spirits of '76]].
*In the October 19th [[FeedBurner#Ween_-_Brainkrieg_Halloween_Song|FeedBurner]] entry, Strong Bad implies that the band [[Brainkrieg]] is real.

SnappySoda: /* Ya, this clearly should be removed. */

I am very sorry to say that I am not very good at being nuetral, so this may need '''clean up'''. I cannot detect where it is just my inturpritation, as for if I could I wouldn't have any opinion at all would I? Does that even make sense? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 16:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
:Most of this is exaggeration. '''Delete'''. {{unsigned|205.188.116.197|16:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)}}
::I don't see any reason to delete this, it's a perfectly appropriate subject to have an article on this wiki. Sure, it could use some revision and cleanup, and the original author went out of their way to ask for other editors to help out with that. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 16:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::It is an appropriate subject, but maybe not enough for its own page

== Irony? ==

I hate the word ironic. I can never use it correctly. However, I do not believe that it is ironic that water on the knee "is a disease caused by fluids accumulating in the kneecap." Can anyone with an education above 7th grade help?--[[Special:Contributions/66.235.23.114|66.235.23.114]] 04:52, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
:Well, I'm a 7th grader (I just finished my 6th grade year,) but it ''is'' ironic. They're pouring water on their knees, right? Water is a fluid. "Water on the Knee" is a disease caused by fluids accumulating in your kneecap. They're pouring water on their knees, which is a word-play gag pf the disease. I think this helped... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 05:00, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
::I have to agree with 66.235.23.114 .. the word "ironic" is not used correctly in this instance. It's just a play on words. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 13:39, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
:::There are a few different kinds of irony: 1) ''sarcasm'' is an example of ''verbal'' irony, which is unique in that it is intentional on the part of the speaker; 2) ''dramatic'' irony is when the speaker does not know something, but the audience does; 3) ''situational'' irony is when there is a disparity of intention and result, for example if a safety device were to cause serious injury (for which there are many tragic real-world examples). 
:::In this case, it's really not clear if the person who created the poster was aware that ''water on the knee'' was an actual affliction or not. If we assume that the were not, then it is irony; if we assume that they were, then it is a play on words. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 15:51, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

''{It's [[The Show]]! There's a big pumpkin up on the marquee. Homestar stands in the middle of the set as a crowd cheers with semi-enthusiasm.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome back, gentlemadies! Without further Mountain Dew, let's get this style train a-rollin'!

''{A short tune plays in the background. Cut to a close-up on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First up, brand-new for 2009—

''{Cut to a slideshow with flashing lights around the edge and the words "Fadey Screen!" in the background. A image of a pumpkin with Coach Z's logo from [[redesign]] carved into it comes from the left of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —it's the 2006 Coach Z logo!

''{The crowd cheers again as music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's go to the ding board for that one.

''{Cut to a board with three flipping panels that together form an image of a large blue ribbon. Across the top panel is the word "Ding!". The middle panel rotates to reveal "3rd Style!" as it dings.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Third Style!

''{An "Ahh..." rises from the crowd. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If our next pumpkin answers insurrectly, it'll win a trip to—

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone, please give a warm hand to our next guest pumpkin—

''{The Fadey Screen shows a pumpkin of Thy Dungeonman holding up a bag of candy instead of ye flask. The words ">get ye candy" are carved across the top. The lights flicker out and the glowy inside of the pumpkin is visible.}''

''{A picture of a painted Strong Bad pumpkin with yellow smoke emanating from its mouth and eyes appears. Near it is a bottle labeled "Very Hot Ones"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —features fine European yellow smoke, I'm sorry—

''{Cut to Homestar. He looks mildly upset.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —no paint daubs.

''{A buzzer is heard as "NO PAINT DAUBS!" appears in red in front of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ladies look out for our next bachelor pumpkin—

''{Cut to the Fadey Screen, and the [[Stripèd Green Rabbit]] from [[New Boots]] is carved in a pumpkin. As Homestar continues, the ladies get excited.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —a stripèd green rabbit with two butts!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar, who looks embarassed}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Our next pumpkin may contain material that is unsuitable for childrens:

''{Cut to the slideshow showing a grotesque, poorly sculpted pumpkin with Homestar's face carved on it. It begins to speak.}''

'''CREEPY PUMPKIN HOMESTAR:''' ''{in a garbled, nasaly voice}'' HELLO HOMESTAR, THANKS FOR HAVING ME—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {hastily cutting in in front of the pumpkin} I'm sorry, we're out of time. ''{suddenly chipper}'' Ding board?

''{The ding board dings and displays "DONG!".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Donnnng!

''{Cut to Homestar, who looks annoyed}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{irritated}'' Next time—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with [[Peacey P]] and his logo painted on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —please phrase your pumpkin in the form of—

''{Cut back to Homestar. He leans in angrily toward the camera.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —NO PAINT DAUBS!

''{"NO PAINT DAUBS!" reappears in front of Homestar, with the buzzer and a "lose" musical cue. Cut to a wide shot of the studio.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And finally, everyone in today's audience—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with the [[Homestarmy]] "DO YOU HAS?" slogan and Col-o-nel Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —gets to have to give me five bucks!

''{"FIVE BUCKS!" appears as Homestar says it. The crowd gives a very dissastified cheer; cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Until next time, as always—

''{The words "Chant Words Together!" as they're chanted.}''

The chorus looks prettier than just plain "chorus."

'''Page Title:''' Obscure costumes, ahoy!

==Transcript==
''{The screen comes down and the first image appears. It shows a man dressed as Homestar, a woman dressed as Marzipan, holding a cardboard Carol, and a small child on "Homestar's" lap dressed as Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look. It's Homestar, Marzipan, and their adorable baby— ''WAIT A MINUTE!!'' Homestar plus Marzipan does not equal Strong Bad! It equals...

''{The next image appears. It's a man with a yellow bowler derby in a large blocky "Homsar" shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...this guy!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, settle down there, son.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Don't call me that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hup! Sounds like somebody needs a juice box.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, da—I mean, Homest—I mean, get outta here!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man with a hat shaped like a "Del" key, holding a card in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, a kid dressed up as a card-carrying Deletehead! Deleted!

''{The next image appears. It shows two people with ponchos draped over them. The ponchos have images of Strong Bad and The Cheat on them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bags. Couple of big bags. So wait, are you dressed up as a potato with me painted on it? 'Cuz it's a pretty good potato-with-me-painted-on-it costume if that's what you were shootin' for.

''{The next image appears. It shows a person in all black holding a shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A Sticklyman costume! ''{An image of Sticklyman appears.}'' Uh, I mean...

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! A Sticklyman costume!

''{The Sticklyman image and the picture disappear as music starts. An image of a man dressed as Stinkoman appears.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for an obscure costume ''{Rays appear from the costume}'' CHALLEEEEEEENGE?!

''{The music stops and the rays disappear. The next image appears. It shows a baby dressed as the S is for Sucks Dragon with a pink bow.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, a newly-hatched S is for Sucks Dragonling. The "S" is for "solid parenting"!

''{The next image appears. It's a man in a disheveled room dressed as the Poopertrooper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, nice Poopertrooper in riot gear costume! Got the Poopstick and everything there. That almost makes ''me'' wanna support the Municipality. ''{whispering}'' Hey, pssst, guy who sent me this: clean up your living room. I have admittedly low standards, and I wouldn't set foot in there.

''{The next image appears. It shows a person in a Trogdor costume, with blocky-looking head. One arm is tucked inside the costume; the other is holding a lunch box marked "Cold Ones". Music from [[dragon]] plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' To begin, make an "S", for "shoebox". Next, make a more different shoebox. And then drive off in your...

''{The next image appears. It shows a car. The trunk is open, and designed to look like a giant mouth with sharp teeth. There are wings on the top, and a beefy arm coming out of one window. Some papers on the car's fender read "BURNINATOR", followed by an image of Trogdor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' TROGCAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man in a blue shirt and black pants. A piece of manila paper with eyes drawn on it partially covers his face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've never seen a piece of manila paper put to such effective use! ''{An image of the Umpire appears.}'' And you're really selling it with that right arm ''{the right arm of both the costumed man and the Umpire blink}'', and that bow-legged stance. ''{the legs of both blink}'' If you were just three feet wider ''{the image stretches horizontally}'' and... not dressed up as a terrible character, this would be a perfect costume!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man dressed in a black and white baseball shirt, with the Pistols for Pandas logo and a white ski mask covering his face, and holding a cap gun.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' BLAAAAAH, it's always great to see my hard court-ordered charity work paying off!

''{The next image appears. It shows a person dressed as the creature from the Horrible Painting, in the same pose, and holding a torch. Green rays come out of the image over the next line.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeeeere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I'm too impressed by this costume to get the jibblies!

''{The next image appears, showing a child dressed as Coach Z. Spooky music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aahhh, jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie ''{increasingly incomprehensible; the image starts to shake}'' jibbliejibbliejibbliejibblie bad parenting... bad... parenting...

''{The next image appears. It shows a person with a giant box over him/her. The Ugly One is drawn on the box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This one doesn't count. This one doesn't count. This one doesn't count as a costume.

''{The next image appears. It shows a man in sunglasses and cowboy hat, in a dramatic pose, holding a gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I give up. You win. I have no idea what you're supposed to be.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well allow me to— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' OH GREAT! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' —explain. He's not simply—

''{An image of someone in a Pom Pom costume appears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —dressed up as a character, or—

''{An image of someone dressed as Pom Pom as Professor Experimento appears, accompanied by a picture of Professor Experimento.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character dressed up as someone else, or—

''{An image of people dressed as characters dressed as a bush, a "BRRLAP" factory, a barrel, and a trash can from [[bike thief]], accompanied by pictures of the originals.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character dressed up as some''thing'' else, or—

''{An image of a person dressed as the man from Where's an Egg? appears, holding an egg. In the background is an image from Where's an Egg?, and the man from the game is standing to the right.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character from a video game, or—

''{An image of a person in a Strong Sad mask, wearing overalls, and holding a rake and shovel appears. Strong Sad as Gardenboy appears from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a really cool character dressed up as a super cool guy all the time character, or—

''{An image of a person dressed as the "Stave it Off" man appears, accompanied by the original picture.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —that "Stave it Off" guy...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I call him "Stave".

''{A person dressed as the Prince of Town appears, accompanied by a picture of the Prince of Town.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or an alternate version of a character. No, no hohoho!

''{The image with the man with the gun reappears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' He's dressed up as an alternate drawing ''{an image of The Cheat appears to the side}'' of an alternate version of a character ''{the image of The Cheat turns into Gunhaver}'' from the Sketchbook! ''{The image transforms into an image from the Sketchbook labeled "gunhaver human commando".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that is (a) amazing, (b) depressing, and (c) amazingly depressing.

''{The next image appears. It shows a very young child in a stroller dressed as Sterrance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Walkin' round the mall with a Sterrance costume that you made for your kid. Think of all the time and hard work you put into that Sterrance costume, and how nobody knows what it iiiis! And your kid doesn't seem to care one way or the other. Because they're oooone!

''{Over music, a series of people dressed as Homestar appears, switching every couple of seconds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ohhh, a red T-shirt and taped-on star. Has anybody told you how terrible you are? Some white face paint, or maybe none at all. Just standin' around in your front hall. ''{music stops}'' Man, those morons that dress up as Homestar just can't seem to get a good costume going! Lucky for me, I—

''{The next image appears. It shows a character wearing an extremely sloppy Strong Bad mask, with indistinct hands and feet. The person is holding a pumpkin with Strong Bad's face carved into it. A record scratch is heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nngg! ''{nervously}'' Hellooooo... costume... oh! OH! Oh, see, wait, well, see, wait, I know what you're thinkin', and it's what you thought. But that is actually a costume of Strong Bad after he's been... run over twelve times! By a cliff. Off a skyscraper. Into a discount... felt... surplus... store. Phew! ''{quietly, as the screen fades out}'' Talked my way outta that one. Out of the side of my mouth. ''{normally}'' Oh, and I almost forgot.

''{Images of the people dressed as the Horrible Painting creature (labeled "DANIEL WINGATE"), the S is for Sucks Dragon (labeled "KRISTI COMER"), the Prince of Town (labeled "ANDREW BERNHARD"), Sterrance (labeled "JASON AND BECKY HASKINS"), and the Poopertrooper (labeled "MATTHEW ZIMMERMAN") reappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here's the losers that were the winners.

SnappySoda: /* Possibly a Fan Costume of a Fan Character? */

== Which user are you supposed to be? ==
I made it! I was the Where's an Egg man! And Movie Magic Man was one of the "terrible Homestar"s.{{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 05:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:And Monkeytender was The Umpire! [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 06:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys, congrats. Per precedent from last year, and also just per our careful standards of documentation, we need you to demonstrate some evidence that you are indeed the people in this toon before it can be in the article. For that reason, I've removed the following for the time being:

*The person dressed as the character from [[Where's an Egg?]] is Wiki user [[User:Strong Vader|Strong Vader]].
*The person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Movie magic man|Movie magic man]].
*The second-last person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Open Source Greg|Open Source Greg]]

If you could provide some documentation that these are true, we can put 'em back real quick-like. You may notice I have not removed Monkeytender's. This is because he made [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=801674#p801674 this post] at the forum in advance of this toon's release, which seems to corroborate his claim. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, as for Movie magic man's, I'm pretty sure that picture of him in the same costume as the one from the toon has been up on his wiki page for nearly a week now. {{User:The Wheelchair/sig}} 14:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Go to the Telltale Games Forums. On there I am called The Highway, there's even a link to my User page on the wiki from my user name on the ttg forum. I started a thread called the official Halloween costumes thread, for people to post their costumes. I hope this I evident enough that I am on the costumes toon. EDIT: how about I post a message on the ttg drums stating that the picture is of I, open source Greg, and I will include a link to the thread. http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13129 that is the thread. Check the last post, then please restore my name to the artcle.{{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 15:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

So, what do I have to do? Show you a [http://yfrog.com/9ewheresaneggscreenshotp screenshot] of my email client with part of the image? What about a [http://yfrog.com/j3wheresaneggscreenshotfup screenshot] of the full screen of my email client with the image? What about [http://yfrog.com/05wheresaneggj the original image?] And the fact that I had my [[:File:Charles Jang.jpg|picture of myself]] on my userpage, to which those could be compared. Is that enough? And the fact that the II in my Where's an Egg II background was cut off in order to fit on Strong Bad's projector screen? {{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 16:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, that's enough. For the record (i.e. for others who want to make a claim), screenshots of emails aren't that convincing, especially if you upload them after the fact, because they could easily be faked. More convincing is the file where you show the whole image that you sent. Alternate takes or angles or images where you show yourself putting the costume together would also be good. Ultimately the most convincing image for me is the picture you uploaded of yourself months ago. Can't really fake that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

The only way I can convince you that my costume is the garden boy costume is:
# I changed the link that says Strong Sad to Garden Boy, which leads to [[AWMPSCE]]
# I can upload the picture and put it on here, but I've never uploaded a picture before

{{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 20:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:See [[Help:Image]] and [[Special:Upload]]. We need something more than just your word for it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::How's this? File:Garden Boy Costume.JPG. IS THAT ENOUGH?!?! Also, sorry for putting the first paragraph on your talk page. {{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 00:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC) oh, and NO LINK FOR YOU!!

May I say that [[User:Ben Again|I]] made it into the fan costume thing too? I'm the second last guy. I don't really know how to prove it, but [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=220440&postcount=2 here]'s a link to a post I made a while back with a pic of my costume(The same one I sent 'em).

== Stave ==

Can we stop calling the "stave it off" guy Davey now? I'd do it, but I actually have a job that pays cash-type money. There's got to be some industrious 13-year-old that can do it during 4th period study hall.--[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 14:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:This is being discussed at [[Talk:Davey]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Text smoothing ==

As of Flash 8, you can set text smoothing to use a more detailed method intended for non-moving text (I believe it's called "antialias for readability", but I don't have Flash installed at the moment so I can't check). The captions at the end use the second type; this is the first time I've seen it or any other Flash 8 effect other than blurring. Does, or should, anybody give a crap? Seeing how we've mentioned in the past when a cartoon has a higher sound quality than usual... [[User:Octan|Octan]] 17:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

:If you're sure it was used, I say add the info. It certainly can't hurt. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 00:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Can I just add it? ==

Ben Again can corrorborrate my story that I am the secod last terrible homestar, and I provided the facts above. Can I just add it? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 13:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Possibly a Fan Costume of a Fan Character? ==
You may notice that the 13th terrible Homestar costume has a different color scheme than the real Homestar Runner. The girl is wearing black pants, a black star, and the brim of her hat is black. This is actually the color scheme of a, not unpopular, fan made character called AntiHomestar. Reference picture [http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/art/OA20x6-yoink-112767444|here]. I have no way to prove this, but the resemblance is too close not to notice. One of the creators of the fan character is looking for[http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/journal/28230356/#comments|] the costumed person. Even if this person is not dressed as said fan character, perhaps the difference in the color scheme should be noted? [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]]
: This was confirmed (see above link), so I'm adding it. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 20:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Alright, so, I realize you [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Fan_Costumes_%2709&curid=50908&diff=685599&oldid=685597&rcid=645773 took my edit down], but could we possibly discuss this a little more? I do think it's useful to note. If you don't like the link, that can be left out. No problem with that. Saying that this variation shouldn't be mentioned is a different story. The other variations, like Dangeresque Too, are mentioned at the top of the page in the "Costumes depicted" list. This fan character is not. It's also the first I've ever seen of a fan character costume being featured on the site. I don't see why this shouldn't be mentioned at all. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 20:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Prof. Experimento ==

I thought this was interesting: The shot used of Professor Experimento is the exact one used on the [[Professor Experimento]] page on the Wiki. Since he was never made in Flash, they'd likely have to go to the game to get a shot of him... or just use the one someone else already made. :) [[:File:Drexperimento.PNG|Here]] is the Wiki's image. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 22:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
: Nice catch. They ''are'' the same. Looks like the Bros Chos got a little lazy. Or else they recognize us as a great source. The latter being more likely. 'Cause they did it before. You know what, go with the second one. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 22:42, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Coupons ==

I believe if your costume was showcased you were emailed a 10% discount voucher code by tbc. What did the winners recieve? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
: Speaking from experience grumble, you got that even if your costume/pumpkin was ''not'' showcased. The message advertising the contest stated that the reward would be a $20 discount from the store; maybe they two stack? Or something? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::Aw, Jay, are you upset? And thanks for clearing that up. I'm really happy about my discount! Should this go on the page, though? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

If you could provide some documentation that these are true, we can put 'em back real quick-like. You may notice I have not removed Monkeytender's. This is because he made [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=801674#p801674 this post] at the forum in advance of this toon's release, which seems to corroborate his claim. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, as for Movie magic man's, I'm pretty sure that picture of him in the same costume as the one from the toon has been up on his wiki page for nearly a week now. {{User:The Wheelchair/sig}} 14:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Go to the Telltale Games Forums. On there I am called The Highway, there's even a link to my User page on the wiki from my user name on the ttg forum. I started a thread called the official Halloween costumes thread, for people to post their costumes. I hope this I evident enough that I am on the costumes toon. EDIT: how about I post a message on the ttg drums stating that the picture is of I, open source Greg, and I will include a link to the thread. http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13129 that is the thread. Check the last post, then please restore my name to the artcle.{{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 15:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

So, what do I have to do? Show you a [http://yfrog.com/9ewheresaneggscreenshotp screenshot] of my email client with part of the image? What about a [http://yfrog.com/j3wheresaneggscreenshotfup screenshot] of the full screen of my email client with the image? What about [http://yfrog.com/05wheresaneggj the original image?] And the fact that I had my [[:File:Charles Jang.jpg|picture of myself]] on my userpage, to which those could be compared. Is that enough? And the fact that the II in my Where's an Egg II background was cut off in order to fit on Strong Bad's projector screen? {{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 16:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, that's enough. For the record (i.e. for others who want to make a claim), screenshots of emails aren't that convincing, especially if you upload them after the fact, because they could easily be faked. More convincing is the file where you show the whole image that you sent. Alternate takes or angles or images where you show yourself putting the costume together would also be good. Ultimately the most convincing image for me is the picture you uploaded of yourself months ago. Can't really fake that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

The only way I can convince you that my costume is the garden boy costume is:
# I changed the link that says Strong Sad to Garden Boy, which leads to [[AWMPSCE]]
# I can upload the picture and put it on here, but I've never uploaded a picture before

{{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 20:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:See [[Help:Image]] and [[Special:Upload]]. We need something more than just your word for it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::How's this? File:Garden Boy Costume.JPG. IS THAT ENOUGH?!?! Also, sorry for putting the first paragraph on your talk page. {{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 00:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC) oh, and NO LINK FOR YOU!!

May I say that [[User:Ben Again|I]] made it into the fan costume thing too? I'm the second last guy. I don't really know how to prove it, but [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=220440&postcount=2 here]'s a link to a post I made a while back with a pic of my costume(The same one I sent 'em).

== Stave ==

Can we stop calling the "stave it off" guy Davey now? I'd do it, but I actually have a job that pays cash-type money. There's got to be some industrious 13-year-old that can do it during 4th period study hall.--[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 14:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:This is being discussed at [[Talk:Davey]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Text smoothing ==

As of Flash 8, you can set text smoothing to use a more detailed method intended for non-moving text (I believe it's called "antialias for readability", but I don't have Flash installed at the moment so I can't check). The captions at the end use the second type; this is the first time I've seen it or any other Flash 8 effect other than blurring. Does, or should, anybody give a crap? Seeing how we've mentioned in the past when a cartoon has a higher sound quality than usual... [[User:Octan|Octan]] 17:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
]
:If you're sure it was used, I say add the info. It certainly can't hurt. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 00:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Can I just add it? ==

Ben Again can corrorborrate my story that I am the secod last terrible homestar, and I provided the facts above. Can I just add it? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 13:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Possibly a Fan Costume of a Fan Character? ==
You may notice that the 13th terrible Homestar costume has a different color scheme than the real Homestar Runner. The girl is wearing black pants, a black star, and the brim of her hat is black. This is actually the color scheme of a, not unpopular, fan made character called AntiHomestar. Reference picture [http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/art/OA20x6-yoink-112767444|here]. I have no way to prove this, but the resemblance is too close not to notice. One of the creators of the fan character is looking for[http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/journal/28230356/#comments|] the costumed person. Even if this person is not dressed as said fan character, perhaps the difference in the color scheme should be noted? [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]]
: This was confirmed (see above link), so I'm adding it. [[User:SnappySoda|SnappySoda]] 20:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Prof. Experimento ==

I thought this was interesting: The shot used of Professor Experimento is the exact one used on the [[Professor Experimento]] page on the Wiki. Since he was never made in Flash, they'd likely have to go to the game to get a shot of him... or just use the one someone else already made. :) [[:File:Drexperimento.PNG|Here]] is the Wiki's image. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 22:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
: Nice catch. They ''are'' the same. Looks like the Bros Chos got a little lazy. Or else they recognize us as a great source. The latter being more likely. 'Cause they did it before. You know what, go with the second one. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 22:42, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Coupons ==

I believe if your costume was showcased you were emailed a 10% discount voucher code by tbc. What did the winners recieve? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
: Speaking from experience grumble, you got that even if your costume/pumpkin was ''not'' showcased. The message advertising the contest stated that the reward would be a $20 discount from the store; maybe they two stack? Or something? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::Aw, Jay, are you upset? And thanks for clearing that up. I'm really happy about my discount! Should this go on the page, though? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

'''Running Time:''' 4:48

'''Page Title:''' Obscure costumes, ahoy!

==Transcript==
''{The screen comes down and the first image appears. It shows a man dressed as Homestar, a woman dressed as Marzipan, holding a cardboard Carol, and a small child on "Homestar's" lap dressed as Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look. It's Homestar, Marzipan, and their adorable baby— ''WAIT A MINUTE!!'' Homestar plus Marzipan does not equal Strong Bad! It equals...

''{The next image appears. It's a man with a yellow bowler derby in a large blocky "Homsar" shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...this guy!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, settle down there, son.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Don't call me that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hup! Sounds like somebody needs a juice box.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, da—I mean, Homest—I mean, get outta here!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man with a hat shaped like a "Del" key, holding a card in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, a kid dressed up as a card-carrying Deletehead! Deleted!

''{The next image appears. It shows two people with ponchos draped over them. The ponchos have images of Strong Bad and The Cheat on them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bags. Couple of big bags. So wait, are you dressed up as a potato with me painted on it? 'Cuz it's a pretty good potato-with-me-painted-on-it costume if that's what you were shootin' for.

''{The next image appears. It shows a person in all black holding a shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A Sticklyman costume! ''{An image of Sticklyman appears.}'' Uh, I mean...

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! A Sticklyman costume!

''{The Sticklyman image and the picture disappear as music starts. An image of a man dressed as Stinkoman appears.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for an obscure costume ''{Rays appear from the costume}'' CHALLEEEEEEENGE?!

''{The music stops and the rays disappear. The next image appears. It shows a baby dressed as the S is for Sucks Dragon with a pink bow.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, a newly-hatched S is for Sucks Dragonling. The "S" is for "solid parenting"!

''{The next image appears. It's a man in a disheveled room dressed as the Poopertrooper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, nice Poopertrooper in riot gear costume! Got the Poopstick and everything there. That almost makes ''me'' wanna support the Municipality. ''{whispering}'' Hey, pssst, guy who sent me this: clean up your living room. I have admittedly low standards, and I wouldn't set foot in there.

''{The next image appears. It shows a person in a Trogdor costume, with blocky-looking head. One arm is tucked inside the costume; the other is holding a lunch box marked "Cold Ones". Music from [[dragon]] plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' To begin, make an "S", for "shoebox". Next, make a more different shoebox. And then drive off in your...

''{The next image appears. It shows a car. The trunk is open, and designed to look like a giant mouth with sharp teeth. There are wings on the top, and a beefy arm coming out of one window. Some papers on the car's fender read "BURNINATOR", followed by an image of Trogdor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' TROGCAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man in a blue shirt and black pants. A piece of manila paper with eyes drawn on it partially covers his face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've never seen a piece of manila paper put to such effective use! ''{An image of the Umpire appears.}'' And you're really selling it with that right arm ''{the right arm of both the costumed man and the Umpire blink}'', and that bow-legged stance. ''{the legs of both blink}'' If you were just three feet wider ''{the image stretches horizontally}'' and... not dressed up as a terrible character, this would be a perfect costume!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man dressed in a black and white baseball shirt, with the Pistols for Pandas logo and a white ski mask covering his face, and holding a cap gun.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' BLAAAAAH, it's always great to see my hard court-ordered charity work paying off!

''{The next image appears. It shows a person dressed as the creature from the Horrible Painting, in the same pose, and holding a torch. Green rays come out of the image over the next line.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeeeere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I'm too impressed by this costume to get the jibblies!

''{The next image appears, showing a child dressed as Coach Z. Spooky music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aahhh, jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie ''{increasingly incomprehensible; the image starts to shake}'' jibbliejibbliejibbliejibblie bad parenting... bad... parenting...

''{The next image appears. It shows a person with a giant box over him/her. The Ugly One is drawn on the box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This one doesn't count. This one doesn't count. This one doesn't count as a costume.

''{The next image appears. It shows a man in sunglasses and cowboy hat, in a dramatic pose, holding a gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I give up. You win. I have no idea what you're supposed to be.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well allow me to— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' OH GREAT! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' —explain. He's not simply—

''{An image of someone in a Pom Pom costume appears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —dressed up as a character, or—

''{An image of someone dressed as Pom Pom as Professor Experimento appears, accompanied by a picture of Professor Experimento.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character dressed up as someone else, or—

''{An image of people dressed as characters dressed as a bush, a "BRRLAP" factory, a barrel, and a trash can from [[bike thief]], accompanied by pictures of the originals.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character dressed up as some''thing'' else, or—

''{An image of a person dressed as the man from Where's an Egg? appears, holding an egg. In the background is an image from Where's an Egg?, and the man from the game is standing to the right.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character from a video game, or—

''{An image of a person in a Strong Sad mask, wearing overalls, and holding a rake and shovel appears. Strong Sad as Gardenboy appears from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a really cool character dressed up as a super cool guy all the time character, or—

''{An image of a person dressed as the "Stave it Off" man appears, accompanied by the original picture.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —that "Stave it Off" guy...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I call him "Stave".

''{A person dressed as the Prince of Town appears, accompanied by a picture of the Prince of Town.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or an alternate version of a character. No, no hohoho!

''{The image with the man with the gun reappears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' He's dressed up as an alternate drawing ''{an image of The Cheat appears to the side}'' of an alternate version of a character ''{the image of The Cheat turns into Gunhaver}'' from the Sketchbook! ''{The image transforms into an image from the Sketchbook labeled "gunhaver human commando".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that is (a) amazing, (b) depressing, and (c) amazingly depressing.

''{The next image appears. It shows a very young child in a stroller dressed as Sterrance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Walkin' round the mall with a Sterrance costume that you made for your kid. Think of all the time and hard work you put into that Sterrance costume, and how nobody knows what it iiiis! And your kid doesn't seem to care one way or the other. Because they're oooone!

''{Over music, a series of people dressed as Homestar appears, switching every couple of seconds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ohhh, a red T-shirt and taped-on star. Has anybody told you how terrible you are? Some white face paint, or maybe none at all. Just standin' around in your front hall. ''{music stops}'' Man, those morons that dress up as Homestar just can't seem to get a good costume going! Lucky for me, I—

''{The next image appears. It shows a character wearing an extremely sloppy Strong Bad mask, with indistinct hands and feet. The person is holding a pumpkin with Strong Bad's face carved into it. A record scratch is heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nngg! ''{nervously}'' Hellooooo... costume... oh! OH! Oh, see, wait, well, see, wait, I know what you're thinkin', and it's what you thought. But that is actually a costume of Strong Bad after he's been... run over twelve times! By a cliff. Off a skyscraper. Into a discount... felt... surplus... store. Phew! ''{quietly, as the screen fades out}'' Talked my way outta that one. Out of the side of my mouth. ''{normally}'' Oh, and I almost forgot.

''{Images of the people dressed as the Horrible Painting creature (labeled "DANIEL WINGATE"), the S is for Sucks Dragon (labeled "KRISTI COMER"), the Prince of Town (labeled "ANDREW BERNHARD"), Sterrance (labeled "JASON AND BECKY HASKINS"), and the Poopertrooper (labeled "MATTHEW ZIMMERMAN") reappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here's the losers that were the winners.

Stripèd Green Rabbit

SnappySoda:

[[Image:Striped_Green_Rabbit.png|thumb|right|220px|"I mean, what if I did that to ''you''?"]]
The '''Striped Green Rabbit''' grew out of a hypothetical suggestion by [[Strong Bad]]. In [[The Cheat]]'s [[Powered by The Cheat]] Flash cartoon "[[New Boots]]", The Cheat gives Strong Bad purple boxing gloves and shows him wearing [[underwear]]. Strong Bad objects that The Cheat didn't do any fact checking, asking how The Cheat would appreciate being represented as "a [[-èd|stripèd]] green rabbit... with two butts". At this mention, an [[Easter egg]] made the animal visible.

The Striped Green Rabbit appeared in the Hip Hop Dance music video immediately following "New Boots", but has not been seen since.

A pumpkin featuring him was featured in [[Punkin Show]], however.

SnappySoda: /* Appearances */

[[File:BandTwo-ODuo.png|thumb|300px|He may be soft round the middle but he's still hardcore...]]
Occasionally, a character will mention his or her '''own dang''' something, often in ways where it flows awkwardly in the sentence.
== Appearances ==
*Email [[mile]] — The [[Podstar Runner]] description is "[[The Cheat]] animates his own dang email".
*Email [[isp]] (commentary) — [[Coach Z]] claims to have made up a joke by his own dang self, though evidence conflicts this.
*Email [[yes, wrestling]] — [[Strong Bad]]'s career apparently took off when he wrestled as his own dang self.
*[[Blubb-O's Commercial]] — The Blubb-O's announcer says to "come the heck down to Blubb-O's and try your dang self the Blubb-O's Classic."
*[[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] — In the April 24, 2008 post, Strong Bad alters a screenshot to show [[Strong Sad]] preforming "open heart surgery on his own dang self."
*[[Baddest of the Bands]] — [[Bubs]] and Coach Z's band, the Two-O Duo, make a song about Bubs stealing stuff from his own dang store. This phrase is (with slight variations) used several times throughout.
*[[Donut Unto Others]] — [[Homestar Runner]] creates [[doughnuts]], refered to hereafter as "donuts", from [[Marzipan]]'s kitchen. The newspaper recounts it as "The Marzipan was stunned today when she woke to find a totally legit donut enterprise operating out of her own dang kitchen..."
*Email [[dictionary]] — The definition for "hwimswelf" hints [[The Cheat]] [[peeing]] by his owndangself.

== "Transcript cleaning" ==

Hi there. The {{t|transcriptinprogress}} template is put on the transcript to alert users that someone is actively working on the transcript, and asks people not to edit unless it's absolutely necessary to avoid edit conflicting the person working on it. Minor errors with the transcript are not absolutely necessary to fix immediately, and many transcribers do a second run to weed out their mistakes from the first run. A better idea is to wait until the transcript is done and the tag is removed, then correct everything you see all at once, rather than annoying the person working on it. Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry 'bout that. Since there was some confusion about who was doing the transcript at that time, I was just trying to do what I could. You concern is noted.

Flipped Images

SnappySoda: adding blubb-o's commercial to the list

[[File:BL backwards.png|thumb|200px|Choosing between fresh and fly]]
When animating characters from different angles, it is often easier to '''flip images''' rather than draw new ones. While often this technique works, without careful attention the flip will reverse text or other asymmetric features unintentionally. [[The Brothers Chaps]] will sometimes do this intentionally as a parody of cheap or amateur animation, although sometimes they fall prey to this themselves. [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] has referred to this as "Blue Laser Commander eyepatch syndrome."

==Appearances in Alternate Animation Styles==
===[[Cheat Commandos]]===
*[[Blue Laser Commander]]'s eyepatch often switches eyes, though the Blue Laser insignia on his chest usually doesn't.
*[[Silent Rip]]'s headset and vest buttons switch sides.
*[[Fightgar]]'s ammunition sash switches sides.
*[[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] — Fightgar, shooting his machine gun, flips a few times, switching his shooting arm a few times. This is seen again in an Easter egg in [[virus]].
*[[Let us give TANKS!]] — The fork in the injured Blue Laser Minion's eye switches eyes depending on which direction he is facing.
*[[An Important Rap Song]] — The "fresh honey" scene is the same as the "fly girlie" scene, but flipped; the "BL" logos on the [[Blue Laser Minion]]'s and Blue Laser Commander's uniforms are backwards.
*[[2 Part Episode: Part 1]] — [[Flashfight]]'s medals switch sides. Silent Rip's Jaded Teen Pizza hat's logo flips as well.
*[[2 Part Episode: Part 2]] — The text on Dryghost's T-shirt is backwards when he is seen riding the Ramshankle.

===[[Powered by the Cheat]]===
*Most characters have a noticeable flip animation when turning around.
*[[New Boots]] — [[The Cheat]]'s cool boots sometimes have the dollar sign backwards. Homestar's sock-covered foot changes after being knocked down. Coach Z's medallion is sometimes shown backwards in the scenes with multiple Coach Zs in front of the multicolor background.
*[[Rap Song]] — [[Tenerence Love]]'s watch switches wrists.

===Others===
*[[Teen Girl Squad 3]] — After meeting a possum, [[What's Her Face]]'s exposed leg switches sides when the girls pose.
*[[Ballad of the Sneak]] — The monocles on the members of [[The Barbershop Trio]] occasionally switch eyes.
*[[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] — The duck on Homestar's shirt flips before Homestar somersaults.
*[[The Limozeen Advantage]] — When [[Limozeen]] is running from the Galactic Space Hippo Spider, one scene is simply the previous scene flipped. The band members' shirts are flipped, reversing the Z logo and Perry's shirt design.

==Appearances in the Standard Animation Style==
*[[Marzipan]]'s eyes are occasionally backwards. In the DVD commentaries for [[marzipan]] and [[suntan]], Matt accuses Mike of doing this.

'''Places:''' [[Strong Badia]] ([[Behind the Fence]]), [[Blubb-O's]], [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 10, 2008

'''Running time:''' 1:53

'''Page title:''' See Participating Stores for Details!
==Transcript==

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are walking along behind the fence in Strong Badia. Corny advertisement music plays quietly under them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{haltingly, as a bad actor}'' Man, you guys! All this walking around behind the fence being a young person sure has gotten my hunger all up in a dander!

''{Suddenly, the Drive-Thru Whale shoots up from the ground in front of them}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Relinquish your pipes please, fellas!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{exaggeratedly}'' Relinquish our pipes? We'd love to!

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat all start laughing. The scene fades slightly as a huge Blubb-O's logo comes on screen, with the words "Come The Heck Down" written underneath.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Come the heck down to Blubb-O's and try your dang self the Blubb-O's Classic.

''{The scene changes to a red background and a burger appears, with a label below saying "Classic" when the announcer names it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' The Original. The Regular. The New Original. The Old Classic.

''{Each time the announcer mentions another burger, the burger's image [[Flipped_Images|flips horizontally]] and a label with the new burger's name stacks on top of the previous ones. Then, a huge deep-fried triangle of fish appears between a burger bun, and another label appears over the others saying "Isosceles Fish Sandwich??"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the Isosceles Fish Sandwich. Wait, fish sandwich? ''{A record scratch and the music stops.}'' We have a fish sandwich? Has anybody ever ordered that thing?

''{A beep is heard as the scene cuts abruptly to a kitchen with a lettuce, two onions, and two tomatoes lying on a counter top.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' At Blubb-O's, all our vegetables are hand tossed through a refreshing cascade of water, and chopped in mid air.

''{As the announcer mentions this, the vegetables are thrown through a waterfall and chopped in half with a knife. The scene then changes to a Blubb-O's restaurant counter, with Homestar behind it, looking exhausted, wearing a yellow deli-style hat with the Drive-Thru Whale on it and a yellow apron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome the crap to Blubb-O's. Would you like to try a combo meal ''{holds up a Blubb-O's meal bag}'', some Chipotle Potato Nudules ''{holds up a small paper dish with some [[French Fries|fries]]}'', or our Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake? ''{holds up a cup with some cocoa beans and the word "PREMIUM" printed on it}''

''{The camera cuts to Marzipan on the other side of the counter.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I just have a question: Do you actually use whale meat, or just regular fast food meat? I just need to know how hard I should protest you.

''{Marzipan holds up two signs, one with the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE", and the other with a caricature of the Drive-Thru Whale looking worried, with the text "really SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE". Cut to the field. Coach Z is in a large Drive-Thru Whale costume with some balloons next to him.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{laughs}'' Family fun, and I'm talkin' about men in costumes, is what Blubb-O's is all about.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there kids! I'm the Drive-Thru Whale! ''{Jumps up and down and shouts.}'' I'll chop off your legs!

''{The view changes and Strong Sad is standing beside him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sometimes it seems like you're ''trying'' to go to prison, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, three square meals a day!

''{The camera pans to the left where Strong Bad and The Cheat sit in a cardboard box with "HMS Locash" written on the side. Strong Bad is wearing his Archibald outfit from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and holding a harpoon, and The Cheat has a harpoon gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thar she blows, The Cheat! Aim for the blowhole!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks at Strong Bad and makes The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? Whoa, I didn't even see Coach Z standing in a whale costume. Yeah, shoot him too!

''{As the sound of The Cheat firing the harpoon gun is heard, the scene cuts to a red background with a pale Blubb-O's watermark.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And now for a limited time, introducing the Blubb-O's Thick 'n Nasty.

''{A burger with an extremely thick patty falls into frame, and a gold plate with "THICK 'n NASTY" on it appears on top. A drawing of Peacey P then pops up with a speech bubble saying "that's right. ya'll blubb-o heads. the thick 'n nasty!"}''

'''PEACEY P:''' That's right, ya'll Blubb-O heads. The Thick 'n Naaaaaaasty. ''{grunts}''

''{The camera pans right until a picture of Peacey P's mouth, with gold teeth with "THICK 'N NASTY" engraved on them, fills the screen with another speech bubble saying "eeungh!" The camera then cuts to the image of the Blubb-O's logo with "YOU GUESSED IT...WE'RE CALLED BLUBB-O'S" written below it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Blubb-O's. You guessed it, we're called Blubb-O's.

''{A speech bubble appears briefly saying "REGISTER DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN FIFTY DOCTORS." The logo shifts slightly off-center, and rubbery sounds are heard, as if the logo were on a balloon.}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Register does not contain more than fifty doctors.

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the whale's spout to see Bubs ordering a burger.
:''{An angry Bubs is seen through the grill of the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' No, I will not slice my fingers thin! I just wanna dang hambloiger!
:''{Cut to see Bubs in the [[Gremlin]], without wheels and on cinder blocks, pulled up next to the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' I got places to be, man!
:'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' You're living a lie. Would you like cash back?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The name "Isosceles Fish Sandwich" is a play on an [[Wikipedia:Triangle#Types of triangles|isosceles triangle]], a triangle with at least two of its three sides identical in length.
*"HMS" is a British Naval designation used on ships, standing for [[Wikipedia:Her Majesty's Ship|Her Majesty's Ship]] or [[Wikipedia:His Majesty's Ship|His Majesty's Ship]] depending on the gender of the monarch.
*Drive-Thru Whale's line "register does not contain more than fifty doctors," is a corruption of "register does not contain more than fifty dollars", a notice similar to one that businesses or restaurants might display to deter robbery.

===Trivia===
*The Blubb-O's menu behind Homestar reads:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|BLUBBO CLASSIC || 1.99 || NUDULES || 5.99
|-
|THE ORIGINAL || 2.99 || KETCHUP PACKET || 6.99
|-
|THE REGULAR || 3.99 || COFFEE STIRRER || 7.99
|-
|THE NEW ORIGINAL || 4.99 || GRAIN OF SALT || 8.99
|}
*Originally, each vegetable was cut as soon as it went through the waterfall, but this was changed soon after the toon was uploaded, so that they all get washed and then chopped separately.
*The background shown on the loading screen and during the scenes that show the burgers and the vegetables is the same [[HR:puppet_background.swf|background]] used for [[Puppet Stuff]], with red instead of blue.

===Remarks===
*According to [[road trip]], Bubs should not have been able to open the Gremlin's windows from the inside, and none of the car's external features suggest they could be opened from outside the vehicle.
*The Gremlin's passenger-side window is completely opaque, and appears to be covered by a sheet of steel or other gray material.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat turns around to talk to Strong Bad in the HMS Locash, his lower back (or leg) pokes outside the box.

===Inside References===
*"Would you like to try a combo meal...?" was the Drive-Thru Whale's first line in [[Drive-Thru]].
*Strong Mad was shown holding a Blubb-O's bag in [[nightlife]].
*"I'll chop off your legs!" is a variation of "Sever your leg please, sir", and the background music is a variation of the Whale's music from [[Drive-Thru]].
*The term "meltshake" was first used in [[road trip]].
*Strong Bad is wearing his [[Archibald]] costume from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when attempting to harpoon Strong Sad. 
*Bubs saying he wants "a dang hambloiger" is an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*"Nudules" were last mentioned in [[from work]]. There they were also associated with whales.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]], and so does [[Strong Mad Smiling|Strong Mad]].
*Homestar's greeting is "Welcome the [[crap]] to Blubb-O's."
*The Blubb-O's announcer says to "try [[Own Dang X|your dang self]] the Blubb-O's Classic."

===Real-World References===
*Sandwiches named "The Original", "The Regular" and "The New Original" may be a reference to the pseudo-band [[Spinal Tap]]. Early in their history they changed their name to The New Originals when they discovered that The Originals was already in use. According to the band, The Originals later changed their name to The Regulars.
*The Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake is a reference to how many fast food outlets, like [[McDonald's]], are touting their new "high-quality" coffee drinks as a way of competing with [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]].
*The sign on Strong Bad's cardboard box boat reads "HMS Locash", a reference to Robert LoCash, screenwriter of [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], [[Wikipedia:Naked_Gun_33⅓:_The_Final_Insult|Naked Gun 33⅓]], and [[Wikipedia:BASEketball|BASEketball]].
*The phrase "Save the Blubb-O Whale", which appears on [[Marzipan's protest signs]], is derived from the name of [http://www.savethewhales.org/ Save the Whales], a non-profit organization founded in 1977 which focuses on marine mammal welfare.
*The Thick 'n Nasty is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]], a hamburger from McDonald's that was designed to compete with [[Wikipedia:Burger King|Burger King]]'s Whopper.
*Strong Bad's line, "Thar she blows!" is a famous quote from the [[Wikipedia:Herman Melville|Herman Melville]] novel [[Wikipedia:Moby-Dick|Moby-Dick]].

===Fast Forward===
*Coach Z's whale costume reappears in [[On Break]].

Talk:Fan Costumes '09

SnappySoda — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:30:23 GMT

SnappySoda: fan character?

I made it! I was the Where's an Egg man! And Movie Magic Man was one of the "terrible Homestar"s.{{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 05:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:And Monkeytender was The Umpire! [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 06:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys, congrats. Per precedent from last year, and also just per our careful standards of documentation, we need you to demonstrate some evidence that you are indeed the people in this toon before it can be in the article. For that reason, I've removed the following for the time being:

*The person dressed as the character from [[Where's an Egg?]] is Wiki user [[User:Strong Vader|Strong Vader]].
*The person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Movie magic man|Movie magic man]].
*The second-last person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Open Source Greg|Open Source Greg]]

If you could provide some documentation that these are true, we can put 'em back real quick-like. You may notice I have not removed Monkeytender's. This is because he made [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=801674#p801674 this post] at the forum in advance of this toon's release, which seems to corroborate his claim. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, as for Movie magic man's, I'm pretty sure that picture of him in the same costume as the one from the toon has been up on his wiki page for nearly a week now. {{User:The Wheelchair/sig}} 14:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Go to the Telltale Games Forums. On there I am called The Highway, there's even a link to my User page on the wiki from my user name on the ttg forum. I started a thread called the official Halloween costumes thread, for people to post their costumes. I hope this I evident enough that I am on the costumes toon. EDIT: how about I post a message on the ttg drums stating that the picture is of I, open source Greg, and I will include a link to the thread. http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13129 that is the thread. Check the last post, then please restore my name to the artcle.{{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 15:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

So, what do I have to do? Show you a [http://yfrog.com/9ewheresaneggscreenshotp screenshot] of my email client with part of the image? What about a [http://yfrog.com/j3wheresaneggscreenshotfup screenshot] of the full screen of my email client with the image? What about [http://yfrog.com/05wheresaneggj the original image?] And the fact that I had my [[:File:Charles Jang.jpg|picture of myself]] on my userpage, to which those could be compared. Is that enough? And the fact that the II in my Where's an Egg II background was cut off in order to fit on Strong Bad's projector screen? {{User:Strong Vader/sig}} 16:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, that's enough. For the record (i.e. for others who want to make a claim), screenshots of emails aren't that convincing, especially if you upload them after the fact, because they could easily be faked. More convincing is the file where you show the whole image that you sent. Alternate takes or angles or images where you show yourself putting the costume together would also be good. Ultimately the most convincing image for me is the picture you uploaded of yourself months ago. Can't really fake that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

The only way I can convince you that my costume is the garden boy costume is:
# I changed the link that says Strong Sad to Garden Boy, which leads to [[AWMPSCE]]
# I can upload the picture and put it on here, but I've never uploaded a picture before

{{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 20:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:See [[Help:Image]] and [[Special:Upload]]. We need something more than just your word for it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

May I say that [[User:Ben Again|I]] made it into the fan costume thing too? I'm the second last guy. I don't really know how to prove it, but [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=220440&postcount=2 here]'s a link to a post I made a while back with a pic of my costume(The same one I sent 'em).

== Stave ==

Can we stop calling the "stave it off" guy Davey now? I'd do it, but I actually have a job that pays cash-type money. There's got to be some industrious 13-year-old that can do it during 4th period study hall.--[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 14:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
:This is being discussed at [[Talk:Davey]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Text smoothing ==

As of Flash 8, you can set text smoothing to use a more detailed method intended for non-moving text (I believe it's called "antialias for readability", but I don't have Flash installed at the moment so I can't check). The captions at the end use the second type; this is the first time I've seen it or any other Flash 8 effect other than blurring. Does, or should, anybody give a crap? Seeing how we've mentioned in the past when a cartoon has a higher sound quality than usual... [[User:Octan|Octan]] 17:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
]

== Can I just add it? ==

Ben Again can corrorborrate my story that I am the secod last terrible homestar, and I provided the facts above. Can I just add it? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 13:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

== Possibly a Fan Costume of a Fan Character? ==
You may notice that the 13th terrible Homestar costume has a different color scheme than the real Homestar Runner. The girl is wearing black pants, a black star, and the brim of her hat is black. This is actually the color scheme of a, not unpopular, fan made character called AntiHomestar. Reference picture [http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/art/OA20x6-yoink-112767444|here]. I have no way to prove this, but the resemblance is too close not to notice. One of the creators of the fan character is looking for[http://havoc-creations.deviantart.com/journal/28230356/#comments|] the costumed person.
* Even if this person is not dressed as said fan character, perhaps the difference in the color scheme should be noted?

'''Running Time:''' 4:48

'''Page Title:''' Obscure costumes, ahoy!

==Transcript==
''{The screen comes down and the first image appears. It shows a man dressed as Homestar, a woman dressed as Marzipan, holding a cardboard Carol, and a small child on "Homestar's" lap dressed as Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look. It's Homestar, Marzipan, and their adorable baby— ''WAIT A MINUTE!!'' Homestar plus Marzipan does not equal Strong Bad! It equals...

''{The next image appears. It's a man with a yellow bowler derby in a large blocky "Homsar" shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...this guy!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, settle down there, son.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! Don't call me that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hup! Sounds like somebody needs a juice box.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, da—I mean, Homest—I mean, get outta here!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man with a hat shaped like a "Del" key, holding a card in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, a kid dressed up as a card-carrying Deletehead! Deleted!

''{The next image appears. It shows two people with ponchos draped over them. The ponchos have images of Strong Bad and The Cheat on them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bags. Couple of big bags. So wait, are you dressed up as a potato with me painted on it? 'Cuz it's a pretty good potato-with-me-painted-on-it costume if that's what you were shootin' for.

''{The next image appears. It shows a person in all black holding a shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A Sticklyman costume! ''{An image of Sticklyman appears.}'' Uh, I mean...

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! A Sticklyman costume!

''{The Sticklyman image and the picture disappear as music starts. An image of a man dressed as Stinkoman appears.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for an obscure costume ''{Rays appear from the costume}'' CHALLEEEEEEENGE?!

''{The music stops and the rays disappear. The next image appears. It shows a baby dressed as the S is for Sucks Dragon with a pink bow.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, a newly-hatched S is for Sucks Dragonling. The "S" is for "solid parenting"!

''{The next image appears. It's a man in a disheveled room dressed as the Poopertrooper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, nice Poopertrooper in riot gear costume! Got the Poopstick and everything there. That almost makes ''me'' wanna support the Municipality. ''{whispering}'' Hey, pssst, guy who sent me this: clean up your living room. I have admittedly low standards, and I wouldn't set foot in there.

''{The next image appears. It shows a person in a Trogdor costume, with blocky-looking head. One arm is tucked inside the costume; the other is holding a lunch box marked "Cold Ones". Music from [[dragon]] plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' To begin, make an "S", for "shoebox". Next, make a more different shoebox. And then drive off in your...

''{The next image appears. It shows a car. The trunk is open, and designed to look like a giant mouth with sharp teeth. There are wings on the top, and a beefy arm coming out of one window. Some papers on the car's fender read "BURNINATOR", followed by an image of Trogdor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' TROGCAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man in a blue shirt and black pants. A piece of manila paper with eyes drawn on it partially covers his face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've never seen a piece of manila paper put to such effective use! ''{An image of the Umpire appears.}'' And you're really selling it with that right arm ''{the right arm of both the costumed man and the Umpire blink}'', and that bow-legged stance. ''{the legs of both blink}'' If you were just three feet wider ''{the image stretches horizontally}'' and... not dressed up as a terrible character, this would be a perfect costume!

''{The next image appears. It shows a man dressed in panda colors, with the Pistols for Pandas logo covering his face, and holding a pistol.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' BLAAAAAH, it's always great to see my hard court-ordered charity work paying off!

''{The next image appears. It shows a person dressed as the creature from the Horrible Painting, in the same pose, and holding a torch. Green rays come out of the image over the next line.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeeeere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I'm too impressed by this costume to get the jibblies!

''{The next image appears, showing a child dressed as Coach Z. Spooky music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aahhh, jibblie jibblie jibblie jibblie ''{increasingly incomprehensible; the image starts to shake}'' jibbliejibbliejibbliejibblie bad parenting... bad... parenting...

''{The next image appears. It shows a person with a giant box over him/her. The Ugly One is drawn on the box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This one doesn't count. This one doesn't count. This one doesn't count as a costume.

''{The next image appears. It shows a man in sunglasses and cowboy hat, in a dramatic pose, holding a gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I give up. You win. I have no idea what you're supposed to be.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well allow me to— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' OH GREAT! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' —explain. He's not simply—

''{An image of someone in a Pom Pom costume appears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —dressed up as a character, or—

''{An image of someone dressed as Pom Pom as Professor Experimento appears, accompanied by a picture of Professor Experimento.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character dressed up as someone else, or—

''{An image of people dressed as characters dressed as a bush, a "BRRLAP" factory, a barrel, and a trash can from [[bike thief]], accompanied by pictures of the originals.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character dressed up as some''thing'' else, or—

''{An image of a person dressed as the man from Where's an Egg? appears, holding an egg. In the background is an image from Where's an Egg?, and the man from the game is standing to the right.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a character from a video game, or—

''{An image of a person in a Strong Sad mask, wearing overalls, and holding a rake and shovel appears. Strong Sad as Gardenboy appears from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —a really cool character dressed up as a super cool guy all the time character, or—

''{An image of a person dressed as the "Stave it Off" man appears, accompanied by the original picture.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —that "Stave it Off" guy...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I call him "Stave".

''{A person dressed as the Prince of Town appears, accompanied by a picture of the Prince of Town.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or an alternate version of a character. No, no hohoho!

''{The image with the man with the gun reappears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' He's dressed up as an alternate drawing ''{an image of The Cheat appears to the side}'' of an alternate version of a character ''{the image of The Cheat turns into Gunhaver}'' from the Sketchbook! ''{The image transforms into an image from the Sketchbook labeled "gunhaver human commando".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that is a) amazing, b) depressing, and c) amazingly depressing.

''{The next image appears. It shows a very young child in a stroller dressed as Sterrance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Walkin' round the mall with a Sterrance costume that you made for your kid. Think of all the time and hard work you put into that Sterrance costume, and how nobody knows what it iiiis! And your kid doesn't seem to care one way or the other. Because they're oooone!

''{Over music, a series of people dressed as Homestar appears, switching every couple of seconds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ohhh, a red T-shirt and taped-on star. Has anybody told you how terrible you are? Some white face paint, or maybe none at all. Just standin' around in the old front hall. ''{music stops}'' Man, those morons that dress up as Homestar just can't seem to get a good costume going! Lucky for me, I—

''{The next image appears. It shows a character wearing an extremely sloppy Strong Bad mask, with indistinct hands and feet. The person is holding a pumpkin with Strong Bad's face carved into it. A record scratch is heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nngg! ''{nervously}'' Hellooooo... costume... oh! OH! Oh, see, wait, well, see, wait, I know what you're thinkin', and it's what you thought. But that is actually a costume of Strong Bad after he's been... run over twelve times! By a cliff. Off a skyscraper. Into a discount... felt... surplus... store. Phew! ''{quietly, as the screen fades out}'' Talked my way outta that one. Out of the side of my mouth. ''{normally}'' Oh, and I almost forgot.

''{Images of the people dressed as the Horrible Painting creature (labeled "DANIEL WINGATE"), the S is for Sucks Dragon (labeled "KRISTI COMER"), the Prince of Town (labeled "ANDREW BERNHARD"), Sterrance (labeled "JASON AND BECKY HASKINS"), and the Poopertrooper (labeled "MATTHEW ZIMMERMAN") reappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here's the losers that were the winners.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Three}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' It's email time again! Doot doodle-ooh-doo, doot doodle-ooh-doo, doot doodle-ooh-doo.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Does Strong Badia have its' own local 
news even? If so, I hope it's better 
than my local news. 
 
Sincerely, 
Dan D. Tallahassee, FL</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Tallaha—... Tasalan—... Gainesville, Florida" instead of "Tallahassee, FL"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, Dan, I'm only gonna sing this one more time: ''{singing}'' Ohhhhhhh ''{types while singing}'' If you want it to be possessive, it's just 'I-T-S.' But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's 'I-T-apostrophe-S,' ''{Short pause}'' scalawag. ''{stops typing}'' Ahem. Um, ''{Clears screen, resumes typing}'' Of course we've got local news. It's the—It's the greatest! Um... But I—I have to go now...and...do something...completely unrelated to me...throwing together...the aforementioned local news. ''{types the following quickly, then runs off}'' Hoight!

''{Strong Bad holds a sign reading "Strong Badia Action Cool News 5" in front of the camera. We can hear The Cheat making noises in the background imitating the musical intros of news shows.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Top Stories with anchorperson Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad gives a thumbs-up to the camera, as The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Strong Bad with Top Stories." Cut to Strong Mad standing in front of a blackboard holding a football, a tennis racquet, and twirling a cinder block on his left index finger as if it were a basketball.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad with the sports!

''{The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Sportscarster Strong Mad". Cut to the Tire with an index card propped up next to it reading "Meteorologist TIRE."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Local weather with Tire!

''{Cut to The Cheat standing in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic!

''{The Cheat grins at the camera and holds up an index card reading "THE FRiGGiN CHEAT" as the SkyCheat logo appears in the lower right-hand corner. Cut to Strong Bad sitting behind a desk situated in front of the fence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening and tonight. I'm Strong Bad with today's top stories.

''{Cut to a side view of the desk (which now looks more like a cardboard box). The Cheat holds up a sign saying "World Crisis."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The World in Crisis! More on that later.

''{The Cheat withdraws the World Crisis sign, and we switch to a frontal angle of the desk again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now let's check in with The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic.

''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat standing in the field. Strong Mad throws The Cheat high into the air. The Cheat hangs there for a split-second and then falls back and is caught offscreen by Strong Mad. This process repeats over and over. Strong Bad makes helicopter sounds.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Thanks Strong Bad... This is The Cheat...with SkyCheat Traffic... There appears to be...some congestion...around Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{cuts to the concession stand. Homestar, Marzipan and the King of Town are standing in line. There is a sign that says "Wait in Line: $5"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Best five bucks I ever spent.

''{Cuts back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, The Cheat. I guess those ''roads'' should not be ''rode'' upon, eh?

''{Cut back to The Cheat, who is still being thrown into the air.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' not funny... i didn't even mention...any roads.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, thank you, tonight. We'll return to our top story: The World in Crisis.

''{Bubs holds up the "World Crisis sign." Cut to side angle of the desk again. You can see Bubs, but he quickly runs away, dropping the sign.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But first, here's Strong Mad with the sports.

''{Cut to the Classroom. The words "SCORE A POINT" are written on the board. Strong Mad is bouncing a football on the floor with a tennis racquet.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I SHOULD WIN! I SHOULD WIN IT!

''{Strong Mad swats the football at the camera. You can hear Strong Sad saying "Ow!" Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like our ''eh-sportscaster'' isn't being a very good ''eh-sport'', eh?

''{Cut to The Cheat still being thrown in the air.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' pathetic.

''{Cut back to the news desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Will the winter weather chill your cheeks?

''{The Poopsmith holds up a sign reading "Winter Weather."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's the word, Tire?

''{Cuts to the tire on a desk with a weather map propped up against the fence. The map slowly slides down and falls off the desk, causing the tire to roll away and fall off the desk itself. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You heard it folks. Bundle up, but keep your swimsuit on outside your pants.

''{Cut to side angle of desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight folks, and have a great job. Remember to turn in tomorrow for our special investigative report exposé: The World in Crisis.

''{The Cheat's sound effects start up again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5: "We're investiga-awesome."

''{The Cheat holds up a sign saying this. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end, you can click on the little Trogdor-style beefy arm to bring up Strong Bad's educational CD, "Strong Bad's Rhythm N' Grammar".
#Ohhhhh... If you want it to be possessive, It's just "I-T-S." But if it's supposed to be a contraction, Then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S," Scalawag.
#Whatever happened to capitalization? It used to be so cooool.
#Girl, don't forget to spellcheck Or I'll come to your house and throw a brick through your dad's windshield... Windshield!
#Y-O-U-R... Y-O-U-Apostrophe-R-E... They're as different as night and day. Don't you think that night and day are different? What's wrong with you?
#And I don't care how they spell things on the Internet. When you email me, you spell the whole word out. And I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it. ''{He trails off making bass guitar noises.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]] is home to the University of Florida, the college rival of Florida State University located in [[Wikipedia:Tallahassee, Florida|Tallahassee]].
*"The World in Crisis" is making fun of the fact that most news stations always start off by telling you about the most interesting news story and keep you waiting to see it for a long time.
*Strong Bad is likely affecting an exaggerated [[Spanish]] accent in his pronunciation of "sport" and "sportscaster." Because the s+consonant sound does not appear at the beginning of a word in Spanish, native Spanish speakers often have difficulty pronouncing such words and will add a soft e sound to the beginning.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homestar mentions anything about [[Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent|best/worst bucks spent]].

===Remarks===
*The Cheat says that he didn't mention any roads, which may have been out of necessity—there are no known roads in [[Free Country, USA]].
*When it first cuts to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia, the sky is oddly pink, but for the rest of the email the sky is gray. This is different from Free Country, USA's usual clear blue sky.
*The sportscaster card says "sportscarster", a spelling mistake typical for Strong Bad.
*When The Cheat comes back down from being thrown up in the air, Strong Mad almost instantly grunts and The Cheat shoots back up. This could mean that Strong Mad is not throwing The Cheat very high up in the air.
*Since almost immediately after Strong Mad's sportscast, he is heard throwing The Cheat in the air in the field, either [[The Classroom]] is very close to the field or Strong Mad ran very quickly.
*It is ironic that one of Strong Bad's songs in the Easter Egg talks about spelling out the whole word, while the title of his CD is "Strong Bad's Rhythm n' Grammar."
*While listening to the songs in the Easter egg, the clickable area for the X is not enabled.

===Goofs===
*None of The Cheat's subtitles from "not funny" onward are capitalized (despite the fact that it "used to be so cool", as Strong Bad sings in the Easter egg).
*When the tire falls off the desk, the crashing noise is heard before the tire actually hits the ground.
*When Strong Bad is standing at the desk at a side angle, the outlines on the desk are different on the front and back.

===Inside References===
*The arm on the S in the sign is a reference to [[Trogdor]].
*The stained [[index cards]] used to display the titles and names of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Tire are similar to the ones used in [[band names]].
*Strong Mad [[Strong Mad smiling|smiles]] in this email.

===Real-World References===
*The Cheat making noises in the background near the beginning is a reference to news programs that play a bit of [[Wikipedia:Morse code|Morse code]] which fades as the anchor starts to speak.
* The "it's email time again!" intro sounds remarkably like the [[Wikipedia:KISS (band)|KISS]] song "Cold Gin" with the title replaced by the word "Email".
*Strong Bad's songs are most likely making fun of [[Wikipedia:Schoolhouse Rock|Schoolhouse Rock]], an educational cartoon that teaches children subjects such as multiplication, grammar, history, etc.
*Sky Cheat Traffic is a possible reference to Sky Team Traffic on the Atlanta News station [http://www.wsbtv.com Channel 2 action news], which happens to have the call letters [[Wikipedia:WSB-TV|W'''SB''']].

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Action Cool 5]] logo would later be used for the station in [[theme song]].

== DVD Version ==
*All 5 Grammar songs have been incorporated into one long Easter egg.
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Greetings, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Greetings, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's nice to see you again here—

'''MIKE:''' Thanks for joining me again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in the commentary booth.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Can I get you anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... Can you get me something else?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe a picnic plate with wine and a baguette?

'''MIKE:''' That's The Che—that's what The Cheat likes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's his favorite.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I get him something else?

'''MIKE:''' Heh, 'kay... Um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' So this—I need to really put out this album.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Strong Mad's—"Strong ''Bad's'' Rhythm N' Grammar."

'''STRONG BAD:''' My—What are you, my parents? I'm Strong Bad. ''Bad, bad, bad.''

'''MIKE:''' How can I remember? Do you have any, uh, mnemonic devices?

'''STRONG BAD:''' S. B., times three.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, I get it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so, um, em—actually, this email... um... ''{mumbles}'' I don't wanna say that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' Okay, something else? Maybe another factoid.

'''MIKE:''' Uh... I like, um... the Strong Badia logo... right there for the news had an arm coming out of it, kinda like Trogdor.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah. Look at how he—that's amazing. Spinning that cinder block... "The friggin' Cheat," man. I like the Skycheat Traffic logo, too.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's good. You guys must have spent some money on that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...So, if you're a news...carster...you gotta...you gotta say "tonight" as much as possible.

'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I learned.

'''MIKE:''' Well, you say it a lot in this email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're supposed to. Because you have to remind people, or they'll think it's the afternoon news, and they'll turn it off. Nobody wants to watch that crap.

'''MIKE:''' No, just the evening news.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Evening—

'''MIKE:''' "Tonight."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight. The tonight news. We should have called it that. ''{pause}'' ''{referring to Homestar, the King of Town, and Marzipan standing in line at Bubs' Concession Stand}'' Those poor suckers. I mean, look at—you'd think, I mean, the King of Town and Homestar I understand, but Marzipan's usually a little more discerning. A little—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, she, uh... Maybe she couldn't see that sign.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and she's just waiting—she wanted a snow cone or something... Yeah. ''{pause}''

''{simultaneously, after newscaster Strong Bad says "Yes. Well, thank you. Tonight."}''

'''MIKE:''' There, he said... There, he did... So, Bubs... Bubs is...

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? Because, see, someone was about to change the channel, they'd be like, "Oh, this is the—this is noonday. I don't want to watch noonday." Oh! Yeah...

'''MIKE:''' So that's where Bubs was. He wasn't at the concession stand because he was helping you with the news. Is he like an intern?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, he's at the station.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's trying—he's getting some hours. Community service, actually.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughs}'' Really? What did he do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I—I'm not supposed to say.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Oh, and the Poopsmith's helping out now too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... See, I actually originally drew a picture of butt cheeks with icicles on 'em, but the network wouldn't let me air it.

'''MIKE:''' I can s—I can imagine.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... ''{pause}'' I, um... ''{After newscaster Strong Bad says "tonight" again}'' ...See? Once again, that was, like, five more viewers—

'''MIKE:''' That doesn't even make any sense.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' What do you mean?

'''MIKE:''' I mean, you're just saying "tonight".

'''STRONG BAD:''' I s—I kept reiterating that it is tonight!

'''MIKE:''' And you never told us what the World in Crisis was about.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's to get you to come back ''tomorrow'' night and watch.

===Fun Facts===
*The picnic plate with wine and a baguette being [[The Cheat]]'s favorite is a reference to the [[Powered by The Cheat]] toon "[[New Boots]]".

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Strong Sad running slowly on The Track, chanting to himself.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sports and practice! Sports and practice!

''{A loud beeping noise is heard, and Strong Sad stops running.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{dejected}'' Oh, hash potatoes! I'll never be the number-one kid!

''{Bright red text reading "HOLD ON!" is seemingly slapped onto the screen, and Strong Sad looks to the viewer.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' Hold on!

''{The words on the screen start to skew backwards and then jump offscreen quickly. A graphic of a video tape - titled "Coach Z's 110% Hustle for Sports Instructional Video" - spins onto the screen over Strong Sad's face.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' Introducing Coach Z's 110% Hustle for Sports Instructional Video!

''{Brightly colored lines gleam from the video's box.}''

''{After a few seconds, an electro-pop type song starts playing, while clips of Homestar running on The Athletic Field, Coach Z talking to The Cheat in the Gymnasium, Strong Mad talking to Coach Z near the lockers in the Locker Room, and Strong Sad standing at the track, with Coach Z walking up to him fly across the screen. The latter makes its way to the center of the screen and zooms in to cover the complete viewing area.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{walks up to Strong Sad, turns to the "camera", and starts speaking very statically and detached}'' Hi. I'm Coach Z.

''{Zoom in on Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' The makers of this commercial have asked me to speak in a more toned-down voice.

''{Quick zoom in on the coach from another angle}''

'''COACH Z:''' As coach of world-champion hustlers and try-harders, ''{He holds up a trophy marked "HUSTLE", and a medal inscribed "You Tried!", and puts them down within a few seconds}'' I've cram-packed these-

''{Cut to a whitish-gray screen, where 19 VHS boxes marked with the instructional video's packaging stack up. The initials "VHS" appear, and letters fly in from the right to make the initials now say "Video Hustle Series".}''

'''COACH Z:''' -'VHS' cassette tapes, with all the secrets to step-by-step sports instructional videros ''{pronounced as "vid-ee-air-o-s"}''.

''{Cut to Homestar at The Field. He turns around and speaks to the viewer}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to an orange background, where blue tapes marked with the tape number and titles like "TAPE FOUR: the fundamentals", "TAPE NINE: advanced techniques", and "TAPE FOURTEEN: training tips" float around the screen}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' The fundamentals! Advanced techniques! Training tips! ''{Four tapes marked THE JOCK- part one, THE JOCK- part two, THE JOCK - part three, and THE JOCK- part four stack up on each other}'' And a so lots more!

''{Cut to the Athletic Field where Homestar (in his "Team Kneepads" shirt), Strong Sad and The Cheat are standing behind three tires and three baseball gloves. A folded sign with "DRILLS" on it is present in front of The Cheat's tire.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{As Homestar, Strong Sad, and The Cheat start to lean forward, and jump around in a 'warm-up like' fashion}'' My butt-patented system will get the results ''your'' youngster needs to not-get-made-fun-of out on the field ''{Pronounced as "Fee-air-ald"}''.

''{Quick cut again, to reveal Homestar standing around in a similar fashion to before, only at the Athletic Field}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, wearing a blue baseball cap, standing in front of an orange background with "This Pr<3duct" repeated on it (in a similar way to the [[Index Page]]). The logo of the video is hovered in front of his cap very wildly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This product is a product ''I'' endorse. ''{Makes a punch-like gesture at the viewer, and pauses awkwardly for a second}'' On my hat.

''{Cut to The Locker Room, revealing Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to a pie chart over a blue background, "HUS 75%", "T 16%", "L 6%" and "E 3%" are marked as so on the chart.}''

'''COACH Z:''' My whole deal's backed up with ''{A green pie-chart piece reading "extra 10%" is dropped onto the chart}'' actual scientific findings— ''{Text reading "!!!!" appears, with a line connecting it and the new green pie-chart piece}''

''{A horizontally rotating human-like 3D figure is placed on the screen}''

'''COACH Z:''' —and rotating computer graphics, so you know it's legit. ''{"100% Rotatey" appears on the screen, with a line connecting it to the rotating figure}''.

''{Cut to the Locker Room, where Homestar, glistening with sweat, is being interviewed. Microphones marked "Sporto TV" and "Sports Mics Inc." are held up to him, and TV bugs containing the text "LIVE-ish" and a logo for "VSTV - Vague Sports Television" are also on screen}''

'''REPORTER:''' ''{off screen}'' Homestar Runner, ''you'' just won sports, how you did at?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{tired}'' Well, just brought a late game, you know? If I stepped it up out there, then we stayed within ourselves, and decided it would be a good strategy if I tried to score more points than our opponents within the alloted time. ''{sudden enthusiasm}'' Thanks, Coach Z's 110% Hustle for Sports Instructional Video!

''{Cut to a blue background, with 5 of the videos stacked among each other, a flashing "CALL NOW!!", and the price of "$59.95*". Below them is the text "We Accept:", followed by four credit cards}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' Coach Z's 110% whatever machine! Only $59.95 plus shipping and handing, or free with proof of VCR-have ''{The text "*Free with proof of VCR-have" appear at the bottom}''.

''{Cut to a black background, with bright lines moving around randomly. Homestar appears again, back to the camera. He turns around, sporting a mustache, and speaks to the viewer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut back to the "pricing" screen, where "CALL NOW!!" is still flashing.}''
