liam2015: /* Neopets */

{{cleanup}}

Homestar is slowly taking over the world, as shown by some of these documented sightings.

'''Please NO hotlinked images''' - Just a simple link to the image will do as this will ensure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
[[Image:Bloostar.PNG.PNG|thumb|100px|This speaks for itself]]
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks freakishly similar to Homestar appearance. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

The episode "A Sight For Sore Eyes" is very similar to [[Old Intro 2]] at the ending.

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce drunk Strong Bad did in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[personal favorites]] and [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game, a Falcons' victory, one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta, Patrick Kearny, points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to [[Coach Z]].

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm — I'm — I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just —

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Monster House'' ===
In an episode of Monster House called "[http://www.tvtome.com/MonsterHouse/season1.html#ep18 Sports House]," the host Steve is wearing a Strong Bad T-shirt during the introductions. This episode first aired February 2, 2004.

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''Super Size Me'' ===
In the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0390521|Super Size Me]]'', there are a group of kids at the computer where one is watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.

=== ''CNN Student News'' ===

On CNN Headline News, there is this short news magazine called [http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/fyi/index.html/ CNN Student News]. On the December 15th 2004 edition, in one of the stories it shows what appears to be a trooper in Iraq getting a toy for Christmas from someone. The toy is a The Cheat plush toy.

=== ''Daytona 500 2005'' ===

In the 2005 Daytona 500, an announcer was heard to refer to the occasion as "Crazy Go Nuts" several times over the week.

=== ''d'FUSED'' ===

March 12th, 2005 at approximately 1:20 pm 
Featured on ''' Addict'd to Gaming''' 
A segment on Red Vs. Blue showed the cast of Homestar Runner in their real-world, plastic figurine state atop the preview monitor for a Red Vs. Blue episode.

=== ''Invader Zim'' ===

In the episode "Gaz, Taster of Pork," On the Frankin Chokie box there is a picture of Bubs' head on the side. Though this may be because of the constant use of Bubs-esque faces on just about everything on the show.

=== ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' ===

Leno was showing examples of absurd eBay auctions and having the audience guess whether they sold or not. One of them was a laptop that had been shot with a shotgun. It's subject line said "LIKE USED! SLIGHTLY SHOTGUNNED!" from [[virus]]. It sold.

=== ''Aaron's 499 (NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, May 1, 2005)'' ===

An announcer described a 17-car wreck as "crazy go nuts."

== RADIO ==
=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), The DJ, Stash, said something about checking out something on their website, and he said "... at q98.net, its dot com." Which could be an obvious reference to the First Time Here cartoon where Homestar says "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

== ADVERTISING ==
=== ''Soap Box Commercial'' ===
A Soap Box racing commercial on Cartoon Network decorated a car with Teen Girl Squad.

=== ''SMS Advert'' ===

===AdultSwim Ad===

Also when you them talking about how Samus is defenceless without her suit zoom in on the second shelf a book is the Homestar Runner enters the Strongest Man in the World contest. Also, also on that shelf is a book that's titled "Gelatinous Eyebrows." The word [[Glossary#G|gelatinous]] is possibly a reference to [[kids' book]], in which you could possibly construe those tilde (~) looking things as eyebrows.

Also, in [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/210716 Metroid Confusion Part 2], if you right-click, one option is "Send Trogdor to my House", and at the end of the movie, if you click on the fine-print giving homestarrunner.com some credit, you will see a funny Homestar-Metroid crossover.

In addition to all of that, if you watch the commentary, it mentions that he got the inspiration for the "Claymation Simulator" from Strong Mad's Doug the Dino, in strong bad email [[the facts]].

After they rescue Joel, Phil starts typing on a Compy 386 about how Bubs won the race, and Strong Sad shows up.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage11.html episode 11], Joel says he wants to move to Atlanta where "those guys that make that cartoon" live. He is probably referring to the Brothers Chaps.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage19.html episode 19], there is a rather long easter egg in which Joel and Phil try to prank call some people. One of their targets is Strong Bad... or is it?

===''The Screen Savers''===

The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm — I'm — I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just —

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee".

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part

high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), The DJ, Stash, said something about checking out something on their website, and he said "... at q98.net, its dot com." Which could be an obvious reference to the First Time Here cartoon where Homestar says "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

'''Please NO hotlinked images''' - Just a simple link to the image will do as this will ensure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
[[Image:Bloostar.PNG.PNG|thumb|100px|This speaks for itself]]
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks freakishly similar to Homestar appearance. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce drunk Strong Bad did in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[personal favorites]] and [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game, a Falcons' victory, one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta, Patrick Kearny, points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to [[Coach Z]].

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm — I'm — I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just —

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''Invader Zim'' ===

In the episode "Gaz, Taster of Pork," On the Frankin Chokie box there is a picture of Bubs' head on the side. Though this may be because of the constant use of Bubs-esque faces on just about everything on the show.

=== ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' ===

Leno was showing examples of absurd eBay auctions and having the audience guess whether they sold or not. One of them was a laptop that had been shot with a shotgun. It's subject line said "LIKE USED! SLIGHTLY SHOTGUNNED!" from [[virus]]. It sold.

You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), The DJ, Stash, said something about checking out something on their website, and he said "... at q98.net, its dot com." Which could be an obvious reference to the First Time Here cartoon where Homestar says "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

Also, in [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/210716 Metroid Confusion Part 2], if you right-click, one option is "Send Trogdor to my House", and at the end of the movie, if you click on the fine-print giving homestarrunner.com some credit, you will see a funny Homestar-Metroid crossover. They also mention "E3 20X6". In addition to all of that, if you watch the commentary, it mentions that he got the inspiration for the "Claymation Simulator" from Strong Mad's Doug the Dino, in strong bad email [[the facts]]. Also in Fox Mcloud's arwing, there is a book called "TROGDOR The musical". The back (or front?) of the book reads, "[T]he Burninator himself [s]tars in his first-ever musical [t]hat won three Academy [a]wards and a couple of [fr]ee coffees at Starbucks. [E]xperience the magic, the [ma]gesty, the consumate V's!" (The word fragments in the square brackets are letters that I guessed because they weren't showing. Also, '[http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=majesty majesty]' is incorrectly spelled 'magesty' on the book.)

=== ''La La La'' ===

After they rescue Joel, Phil starts typing on a Compy 386 about how Bubs won the race, and Strong Sad shows up.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage11.html episode 11], Joel says he wants to move to Atlanta where "those guys that make that cartoon" live. He is probably referring to the Brothers Chaps.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage19.html episode 19], there is a rather long easter egg in which Joel and Phil try to prank call some people. One of their targets is Strong Bad... or is it?
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage30.html episode 30], there is a commercial for a candy called "Kandy Commandoz". A small disclaimer flashes across the screen proclaiming "Not a ripoff of Homestar Runner".

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm — I'm — I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just —

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee".

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), The DJ, Stash, said something about checking out something on their website, and he said "... at q98.net, its dot com." Which could be an obvious reference to the First Time Here cartoon where Homestar says "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

liam2015: /* OTHER SITES */

{{cleanup}}

Homestar is slowly taking over the world, as shown by some of these documented sightings.

'''Please NO hotlinked images''' - Just a simple link to the image will do as this will ensure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
[[Image:Bloostar.PNG.PNG|thumb|100px|This speaks for itself]]
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks freakishly similar to Homestar appearance. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce drunk Strong Bad did in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[personal favorites]] and [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game, a Falcons' victory, one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta, Patrick Kearny, points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to [[Coach Z]].

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm — I'm — I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter. Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just —

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Monster House'' ===

In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''Invader Zim'' ===

In the episode "Gaz, Taster of Pork," On the Frankin Chokie box there is a picture of Bubs' head on the side. Though this may be because of the constant use of Bubs-esque faces on just about everything on the show.

=== ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' ===

Leno was showing examples of absurd eBay auctions and having the audience guess whether they sold or not. One of them was a laptop that had been shot with a shotgun. It's subject line said "LIKE USED! SLIGHTLY SHOTGUNNED!" from [[virus]]. It sold.

You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Q98'' ===
On Q98- 98.7 (a radio station in Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN), The DJ, Stash, said something about checking out something on their website, and he said "... at q98.net, its dot com." Which could be an obvious reference to the First Time Here cartoon where Homestar says "Welcome to HomestarRunner.net ... It's dot com!"

After they rescue Joel, Phil starts typing on a Compy 386 about how Bubs won the race, and Strong Sad shows up.
*In [http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage11.html episode 11], Joel says he wants to move to Atlanta where "those guys that make that cartoon" live. He is probably referring to the Brothers Chaps.

'''Strong Bad Email #127'''

The answer to why Homestar doesn't wear pants is finally revealed...almost.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan]] (easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Homestar's House]] (easter egg)

'''Date:''' March 28, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 3:04

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you, girl! Woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words}'' Oh, would you email me, girl? Woman? ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

Dear Strongbad,
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time.
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants!
Tootles!
Clancy

''{Strong Bad skips everything after "Anyway" and before "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem red-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen input high-tech expensive device! Now in HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen bearing the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Expensive high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

Dear Strongbad,
Why <s>doesn't homestar ever</s> wear pants? <s>It's kind of</s>

Clancy

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E–

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! ''{camera pans back to show Homestar wearing very short purple pants}'' Check out my creepy pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking away}'' Ew, Homestar! What're you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?!

''{Homestar's pants shine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cuz you said, "creepy pants all the time get some."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get some what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Light globes?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Light globes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like in a lamp! Light globes! ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... you put on hotpants in the hopes of getting some lightbulbs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{correctively}'' Globes. ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. Or your lack thereof. Daisy Dukes aside.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about, Strong Bad? I wear long pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet. ''{indicates Homestar's feet}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants, I wear long pants. I'm a long pants man, long pants, long pants! ''{starts getting upset and dances around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, calm down... I didn't mean to-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumps high into the air, and convulses on Strong Bad's desk}'' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ''{starts teleporting around the room, first appearing in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen, then blurred in the very foreground, then upside down under the desk, then in his original position, all while chanting the following}'' Long long long long long long pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that's it! We need to get you some serious clown care, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I was told long pants! Long pants! They said long pants! Always long pants! ''{leans toward Strong Bad}'' Long, my pants! Gleaming pants! Glorious pants! ''{runs away, leaving the Daisy Dukes behind. They fall on Strong Bad's foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bleh! Egh! BLEEEGGEHHEGH!

''{He attempts to shake the Daisy Dukes off. He eventually does, and The Cheat appears stage left to burn them with the [[BMW Lighter]]. They burn a neon green color and disintegrate completely.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

''{The Cheat leaves, and Strong Bad turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Noice work, Clanky. You made Homestar go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out. And how am I supposed to get this crap offa here? ''{Everything starting with the "t" in "get" is obscured by the correction fluid. Strong Bad grabs a cloth and attempts to wipe it off the screen, to no avail. He mutters:}'' Stupid... made-up technology... that I made up... light pen... ''{mumbles}'' The Cheat! Call tech support and tell 'em you broke the Lappy again!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Selecting "Why wear pants" will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game. As you hover the cursor over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
* Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service, [[Kertified Klown Kare]]. It reads:
Kertified
Klown Kare

-Pie Injuries
-Giant Foot Problems
-Wacky Malaria
-Grease Paint Poisoning

"Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"
* Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {''Lying in bed with a light bulb next to his head, crying''} Lonnnng paaaannnts!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sits up suddenly, surprised and upset}'' You're not a broom?

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*[[Wikipedia:Daisy Duke|Daisy Dukes]] are extremely short cut-offs, so named for the character from [[Wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]] television show that wore them.
*Strong Bad using the "light pen" to remove portions of the email draws from the joke about a fool who, being unexperienced with technology, used a correction fluid pen on his monitor in an attempt to remove misspelled words in a wordprocessing program.

===Trivia===
* This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.
* In the easter egg, the messages in the fortune cookies read "You are not as good as most people" before they are completely unraveled.
*The lightbulbs give you the reason Homestar's pants kept shining.

=== Remarks ===
*Perhaps Strong Bad doesn't answer the original question because we already found out why Homestar doesn't wear pants in an Easter Egg to [[monument]]. Homestar was distracted by the [[Thnikkaman]] and never wound up putting pants on.
*Strong Bad's opening song is suspiciously similar to the one in [[the show]].
*Homestar's feet might be shoes that blend in with his legs/pants. This is shown in [[New Boots]] when his shoe is thrown at him.
*Homestar Runner's judo outfit in [[montage]] includes white pants.

=== Goofs ===
*Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker and when applying the white out, no ripples pop up on the screen.
*After he clears the screen and starts writing about the age old question, Homestar comes in. You can clearly see the text the whole time Homestar is there, but when Homestar leaves and Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, it's gone.
*The Klown Kare easter egg (by clicking on the socket) can still be clicked in the same location on the screen when the scene moves around.
*When Homestar appears close-up to the computer, if you zoom in, you can see that the disk label is slightly garbled, like it would be in a JPEG file. This is because it actually IS a JPEG being used to show both Homestar and the part of the background placed behind him, as the JPEG format does not allow for transparency.
**Additionally, the image appears to be displayed slightly above its proper location.
*When Strong Bad is writing with his pen, the reflection doesn't show up.
*There is a separate shadow on the white line in the Lappy's email client.
*Strong Bad also asks why he's not wearing pants on Not the 100th Email! but there is no mental breakdown.
*Although Strong Bad has ruined the Lappy's screen in the email, it is still pristine in the current SB Email main menu.
*In [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] Homestar runs out "naked somehow" but we can see that his ''pants''(?) are on. So that sparks the question, does Homestar really wear pants?

=== Inside References ===
*[[Edga Jr.]] is a reference to the e-mail [[virus]], in which his ambiguous relation, [[Edgarware|Edgar]], created Strong Bad's virus protection program. Also, whereas Edgarware was made in "mom's basement", Edga Jr. was made seven years later in "mom's sewing room".
*[[Atari Homestar]] is from [[Main Page 13]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*The business card easter egg makes reference to the [[Tragic Clown Dog]] from [[part-time job]].
*Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Intro]].
*Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (Along with Homestar's response) is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".
*The noise made by Homestar's glowing pants is used often in [[Stinkoman]] cartoons.
*Strong Bad's "light pen" is based on his "light pen" from [[haircut]] - there, it was a black marker.

=== Real-World References ===
* Strong Bad throwing cue cards away during the intro song is a reference to the [http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/weatherunderground/images/film_dylan.jpg music video] for Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan.
*It could also be a reference to the video "Need You Tonight/Mediate" by INXS.
* The [[Wikipedia:Light Pen|light pen]] was an input device that would make an EGA or CGA monitor into a touch screen of sorts. You touched a light sensor to the screen, and it would calculate a position by sensing the 'flicker' of the monitor's cathode ray. A light pen could never work with the [[Lappy 486]], since LCD displays do not flicker.
* Parachute Pants are large billowy pants which come in at the waist and ankles with snug elastic bands.
*[[Wikipedia:Adam West| Adam West]] is an actor best known for his role as [[Batman]] on the campy '60s TV show. The Batman costume has tights with briefs over them, so Batman does not wear pants, either.

[[Image:sfd.png|thumb|Our heroes spy on Blue Laser]]

[[The Cheat Commandos]] rock, rock on in an adventure to stop [[Blue Laser]] from saving money by shopping at a local grocery store on double-coupon day.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Gunhaver]], [[Fightgar]], [[Silent Rip]], [[Crackotage]], [[Reynold]], [[Firebert]], [[Blue Laser Commander]], [[Blue Laser minion]], [[Blue Laser Babies]]

'''Page title:''' Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!

'''Date:''' September 28, 2004

== Transcript ==
''{Open to "Cheat Commandos Now Returns..." title. Danger music, then theme music is heard.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' We now return to Cheat Commandos.

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos headquarters. A large inflatable Cheat Commando with a "SALE!" banner sits on the roof. A title which reads "'SHOPPING FOR DANGER' written by A. Chimendez" appears. Cut to inside headquarters where Gunhaver is talking to Fightgar, Silent Rip, and Crackotage. A portrait of Gunhaver hangs on the wall.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So then I grabbed the Blue Laser by his collar and said, 'You betta break yourself!'

''{Fightgar, Silent Rip, and Crackotage laugh. Pan left to reveal Reynold standing behind Fightgar, et al.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Ha ha, yeah. ''{All turn to face him, Crackotage and Fightgar appear annoyed.}'' That's like how I labeled and alphabetized all you guys' combat accessories ''{Cut to wall where Flashfight's Flashlight, Foxface's Bulletproof Handbag, Gunhaver's Gun, Reinforcement's [sic] Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket, and Silent Rip's Loud Noise Silencer (which appears to be an ordinary pillow) hang, in alphabetical order.}'' so it'll save on valuable mission time! ''{Cut back to group.}'' Kicka click-click, booyah! ''{Reynold pumps his arm.}''

'''ALL:''' Uh...

''{A siren that sounds like [[Homestar Runner]] begins to sound and a pulsating red light fills the room. The Cheat Commandos look around in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' It's a Blue Las-alert!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Bring it up on screen!

''{Gunhaver points off-screen. Cut to "THE SCREEN", which says "Blue Las-alert; hit enter for details". Silent Rip presses a key and an image labeled "file photo" of Blue Laser Commander and a Blue Laser minion at a grocery store appears on the screen.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Blue Laser's been spotted at a local grocery store on double coupon day!

'''GUNHAVER:''' With the money Blue Laser could potentially save from those double coupons they could buy all kinds of super weapons that, like, ''{scratches head}'' turn babies into gold or ''{scratches head again}'' screw with the weather! Cheat Commandos.. time to rock, rock on! ''{zoom in on Gunhaver and cue theme music}''

''{Cut to room with Gunhaver portrait where Fightgar and Crackotage are leaving.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Can I come, too?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{laughs}'' Good one, Reynold-a!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' You can't shoot, and you can't fly. If you came with us, you'd probably die! ''{laughs}''

''{Fightgar and Crackotage exit.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{whining}'' I never get to go on any missions! I would be a good mission... guy. ''{slumps down sadly}''

''{Cut to a strip mall parking lot, daytime. A large blue tank with the Blue Laser logo on the side is double-parked in front of Price Style and Hausgood. The Cheat Commandos are seen from behind, marching up in silhouette. Cut to a hill behind which Gunhaver, Fightgar, Silent Rip, Crackotage, and Firebert are crouched. Gunhaver peers through a pair of binoculars.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' It looks like Blue Laser's going to take advantage of Price Style's already low, low prices on paper towels and grout cleaner and use all the savings to make a button that will make it snow at the beach! ''{The other Commandos start in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' But, sir! What about beach volleyball?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There won't ''be'' ''{turns and shakes his fist at Silent Rip}'' any more beach volleyball! ''{all gasp, danger music plays}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Fightgar, use one of your awesome disguises to do a little ''{uses quote fingers}'' "undercover work".

''{Zoom in on Fightgar, who turns "chicken yellow".}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{groans}'' Gulp!

''{Cut back to headquarters where Reynold stands in front of a mirror wearing an outfit that looks just like Gunhaver's. The sleeves are too long.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Step off, Blue Laser! Get your hands off those diskettes and fiscal reports! Don't make me use this gun that I have! ''{points with sleeve}'' Reynold's Commandos, let's rock 'n' roll! ''{shakes arms}''

''{Cut to Price Style interior, Aisle 6. Pan down to reveal Blue Laser Commander, who holds three rolls of "WIPE!" brand paper towels, and one of his minions.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What happened to our buggy?!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' That other guy that looks just like me is using it to help some old lady do her shopping, sir.

'''COMMANDER:''' Old ladies ''suck''!

''{Cut to another minion and Fightgar wearing an old lady disguise which consists of a gray wig and a pair of green spectacles.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{points at shelf}'' 'Ere, could you reach that tub of Old Lady Rub for me, young man? 'Cause I'm an old lady!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' I never doubted that you were a lady, sir. Ma'am.

''{Enter Blue Laser Commander and Minion 1.}''

'''COMMANDER:''' Alright, grandma, make it quick!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I was just wonderin' if you kind sonnies knew anything about makin' it snow at the beach?

'''COMMANDER:''' No, but I know how to end awkward conversations with the elderly! ''{to Minion 1}'' Let's go check out.

''{Blue Laser Commander and his minions exit. Fightgar removes his spectacles and holds a small blue box with an antenna that is attached to his wrist up to his mouth. Cut to Gunhaver outside, who holds a larger blue box with an antenna and screen. Fightgar is on the screen.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Blue Laser's makin' his move!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Alright, Cheat Commandos, let's move! ''{to Crackotage}'' Fire the new grappling hook zip line!

''{Cut to Crackotage holding a large gun with a grappling hook at the end of the barrel. He fires and a rope begins spooling out of the gun. A tone sounds and the "Cheap As Free" logo appears in the corner. Cut to the tank in the parking lot where the rope wraps itself around the barrel of its gun. On the hill, Crackotage and Silent Rip descend the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Firebert}'' Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name!

''{Firebert looks sad and makes a Cheat-y sigh. Gunhaver descends the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Whee!

''{Cut to headquarters, where Reynold is still dressed as Gunhaver. He has put his glasses on the head of an upturned mop in a bucket and stands next to Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{to mop}'' Why, yes, Foxface, I'd love to take you out on a classy date. But first I need to save the world from Blue Laser using my very own Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Reynold Rocket! ''{Reynold straps the Rocket Backpack on his back. He falls backwards onto the Backpack.}'' Whoa!! ''{Green lights appear on the backpack and it begins to shake and whir, making "powering up" sounds and expelling smoke.}'' Oh my land, I can't see this ending well.

''{Cut to Price Style interior where Blue Laser Commander and two minions stand at the checkout with their shopping cart.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Oh, crap! I forgot my Price Style Plus Card!

''{Glass shatters and Gunhaver and Crackotage leap to the ground in front of Blue Laser Commander. Silent Rip falls behind a checkout lane several aisles away.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Not so fast, Blue Laser!

'''COMMANDER:''' Ugh! I'm so sick of you people!

''{Silent Rip stands up and peeks out from behind the checkout lane.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' The express lane is for ten items or less! You've got two too many!

'''COMMANDER:''' Those are the twins!

''{Cut to a shopping cart with three rolls of WIPE! towels and two baby Blue Laser members, both with eye patches.}

'''BLUE LASER BABY 1:''' Ooo-waa.

'''BLUE LASER BABY 2:''' Ooo-whe.

''{Cut to Silent Rip, whose wrist communicator is beeping.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Sir! Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset is under attack!

'''GUNHAVER:''' We've been had, boys! This grocery store crap was just a diversion!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' Back to base we're gonna head and make sure Reynold isn't dead! ''{laughs}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{as it wipes to the Headquarters}'' Wheee!

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos Headquarters. There is a large hole in one wall with smoke streaming out of it and another unseen area. Cut to interior. Reynold is lying on his back atop the Rocket Backpack. His face is scorched as is a circle on the floor surrounding him, and he has lost his Gunhaver hat. There is large hole in the wall and some rubble litters the ground. Gunhaver enters.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Reynold, are you all right?! What happened here? Nice jacket!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, Gunhaver, it's all my fault. I was upset that you never let me go on any missions so I tried on Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket--

'''GUNHAVER:''' --so you could defend our base from Blue Laser! Gah! Good work, soldier! It's not your fault they got away!

'''REYNOLD:''' What?

''{Cut to view of Gunhaver from above. He has his arm raised to the sky.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Next episode, Blue Laser! Next episooooode!

''{Fade to black. "Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!!" appears on the screen and is sung to music. Cut to a bathroom where a Blue Laser minion is standing in the bathtub, scrubbing the tile wall with a green sponge. Enter Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' The grout cleaner is working, sir.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Fan-freaking-tastic! At last we'll have the edge we need to crush the Cheat Commandos! ''{Pan to show a computer screen which reads "Reason for not crushing Cheat Commandos". In large red blinking letters "MILDEW!!" appears. Danger music plays}''

''{Fade to "THE END."}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of the film, click on '''The End.''' to see an extra scene in the grocery store and what happened to the Blue Laser Babies.
:''{Cut to Price Style interior.}''
'''VOICE:''' ''{over intercom}'' I need a price check on two babies? Price check on two babies.

== Fun Facts ==
{{funfacts}}
*This is the first time we see the [[Cheat Commandos HQ]] playset.
*When Gunhaver tells Firebert, "Think of a better Commando name," Firebert makes a weird sighing noise that sounds just like normal The Cheat-ese.
*The line "Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name" is a reference to the email "[[army]]" when Strong Bad tells The Cheat that Firebert is not a good commando name. It is also seen in an easter egg in which Firebert's action figure package which notes ''Not a good commando name!''
*The episode "Shopping For Danger" is written by [[A. Chimendez]] who also created "The Strong Bad" in the email "[[pizzaz]]" and [[Cheat Commandos...O's]].
*[[Fightgar]] asking for "Old Lady Rub" is a reference to [[Peasant's Quest]], in which the innkeeper has a cabinet full of Old Man Rub.
*The Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket makes the same sound as when [[Stinkoman]] does a [[Double Deuce]], combined with the mechanical sound effect of Homestar's beanie in the email "[[car]]".
*The letters JRBRR are inscribed on the side of the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket
*Gunhaver's mention of Blue Laser buying a machine that would screw with the weather is an obvious reference to a G.I. Joe mini-series, ''[http://www.joeheadquarters.com/joeii.shtml The Revenge Of Cobra]'', in which G.I. Joe and Cobra battle over a machine, the Weather Dominator, which can be used to control the weather.
*Aisle six in the grocery store includes paper towels, soda types, bendy stuff, a cracker, grout cleaner, gym bags, green bottles, and blue bottles.
*In the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, Strong Bad uses a deep voice to do an impression of Reynold. However in this cartoon, Reynold has a high-pitched voice.
*Reynold is cross-eyed when not wearing his glasses.
*When Reynold says "Don't make me use this gun that I have!" it is a reference to the fact that he is pretending to be Gunhaver. In the easter egg of the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, it says on Gunhaver's box "has a gun!"
*Reynold trying on the Justice Rocket Backpack may be a nod to ''Ghostbusters II'', when Louis Tully wished to be a ghostbuster and put on the proton pack.
*The song that plays in the shopping mart easter egg is the Cheat Commandos theme toned down and rendered in a style similar to Homestar's song [[Everybody Knows It]].
*There were five Cheat Commando members who went on the mission. When we see the Cheat Commandos returning to their headquarters, only four returned. Either Fightgar or Firebert was left behind.
**It was most likely Firebert, since he was left behind at the grocery store to think of a better commando name.
*If you zoom in on the silhouettes of The Cheat Commandos returning to the Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset, you can see that they are all wearing [[Gunhaver]]'s hat.
*This is the only full-length cartoon that does not have its name appear superimposed on its clip on the TV screen in the Toons menu when the mouse is moved over its name.
*This is the third time a [[Toilet]] has been put in a cartoon from TBC.
*In the File Photo of Blue Laser, his arm patches are blue, not red like they normally are.
*When Gunhaver shouts to the sky at the end of the cartoon, it may be a reference to the old ''Inspector Gadget'' cartoon.
*Crackotage, the Cheat Commando with the headphones, who speaks is rhyming couplets is a reference to ''Transformers'' where Jazz, a robot, did the same thing.
*The "Blue Las-Alert" may be a reference to the "Trouble Alert" on The Superfriends, which was sometimes compressed into one phrase ("Trouble-Alert" or "Troublealert").
*This is the first full-length toon not to feature Homestar or Pom Pom.
*The "grappling hook line" used is the gun taken from [[Cheat Commandos Commercial]]

''{All turn to face him, Crackotage and Fightgar appear annoyed.}'' That's like how I labeled and alphabetized all you guys' combat accessories ''{Cut to wall where Flashfight's Flashlight, Foxface's Bulletproof Handbag, Gunhaver's Gun, Reinforcement's [sic] Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket, and Silent Rip's Loud Noise Silencer (which appears to be an ordinary pillow) hang, in alphabetical order.}'' so it'll save on valuable mission time! ''{Cut back to group.}'' Kicka click-click, booyah! ''{Reynold pumps his arm.}''

'''ALL:''' Uh...

''{A siren that sounds like [[Homestar Runner]] begins to sound and a pulsating red light fills the room. The Cheat Commandos look around in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' It's a Blue Las-alert!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Bring it up on screen!

''{Gunhaver points off-screen. Cut to "THE SCREEN", which says "Blue Las-alert; hit enter for details". Silent Rip presses a key and an image labeled "file photo" of Blue Laser Commander and a Blue Laser minion at a grocery store appears on the screen.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Blue Laser's been spotted at a local grocery store on double coupon day!

'''GUNHAVER:''' With the money Blue Laser could potentially save from those double coupons they could buy all kinds of super weapons that, like, ''{scratches head}'' turn babies into gold or ''{scratches head again}'' screw with the weather! Cheat Commandos.. time to rock, rock on! ''{zoom in on Gunhaver and cue theme music}''

''{Cut to room with Gunhaver portrait where Fightgar and Crackotage are leaving.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Can I come, too?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{laughs}'' Good one, Reynold-a!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' You can't shoot, and you can't fly. If you came with us, you'd probably die! ''{laughs}''

''{Fightgar and Crackotage exit.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{whining}'' I never get to go on any missions! I would be a good mission... guy. ''{slumps down sadly}''

''{Cut to a strip mall parking lot, daytime. A large blue tank with the Blue Laser logo on the side is double-parked in front of Price Style and Hausgood. The Cheat Commandos are seen from behind, marching up in silhouette. Cut to a hill behind which Gunhaver, Fightgar, Silent Rip, Crackotage, and Firebert are crouched. Gunhaver peers through a pair of binoculars.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' It looks like Blue Laser's going to take advantage of Price Style's already low, low prices on paper towels and grout cleaner and use all the savings to make a button that will make it snow at the beach! ''{The other Commandos start in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' But, sir! What about beach volleyball?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There won't ''be'' ''{turns and shakes his fist at Silent Rip}'' any more beach volleyball! ''{all gasp, danger music plays}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Fightgar, use one of your awesome disguises to do a little ''{uses quote fingers}'' "undercover work".

''{Zoom in on Fightgar, who turns "chicken yellow".}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{groans}'' Gulp!

''{Cut back to headquarters where Reynold stands in front of a mirror wearing an outfit that looks just like Gunhaver's. The sleeves are too long.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Step off, Blue Laser! Get your hands off those diskettes and fiscal reports! Don't make me use this gun that I have! ''{points with sleeve}'' Reynold's Commandos, let's rock 'n' roll! ''{shakes arms}''

''{Cut to Price Style interior, Aisle 6. Pan down to reveal Blue Laser Commander, who holds three rolls of "WIPE!" brand paper towels, and one of his minions.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What happened to our buggy?!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' That other guy that looks just like me is using it to help some old lady do her shopping, sir.

'''COMMANDER:''' Old ladies ''suck''!

''{Cut to another minion and Fightgar wearing an old lady disguise which consists of a gray wig and a pair of green spectacles.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{points at shelf}'' 'Ere, could you reach that tub of Old Lady Rub for me, young man? 'Cause I'm an old lady!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' I never doubted that you were a lady, sir. Ma'am.

''{Enter Blue Laser Commander and Minion 1.}''

'''COMMANDER:''' Alright, grandma, make it quick!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I was just wonderin' if you kind sonnies knew anything about makin' it snow at the beach?

'''COMMANDER:''' No, but I know how to end awkward conversations with the elderly! ''{to Minion 1}'' Let's go check out.

''{Blue Laser Commander and his minions exit. Fightgar removes his spectacles and holds a small blue box with an antenna that is attached to his wrist up to his mouth. Cut to Gunhaver outside, who holds a larger blue box with an antenna and screen. Fightgar is on the screen.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Blue Laser's makin' his move!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Alright, Cheat Commandos, let's move! ''{to Crackotage}'' Fire the new grappling hook zip line!

''{Cut to Crackotage holding a large gun with a grappling hook at the end of the barrel. He fires and a rope begins spooling out of the gun. A tone sounds and the "Cheap As Free" logo appears in the corner. Cut to the tank in the parking lot where the rope wraps itself around the barrel of its gun. On the hill, Crackotage and Silent Rip descend the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Firebert}'' Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name!

''{Firebert looks sad and makes a Cheat-y sigh. Gunhaver descends the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Whee!

''{Cut to headquarters, where Reynold is still dressed as Gunhaver. He has put his glasses on the head of an upturned mop in a bucket and stands next to Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{to mop}'' Why, yes, Foxface, I'd love to take you out on a classy date. But first I need to save the world from Blue Laser using my very own Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Reynold Rocket! ''{Reynold straps the Rocket Backpack on his back. He falls backwards onto the Backpack.}'' Whoa!! ''{Green lights appear on the backpack and it begins to shake and whir, making "powering up" sounds and expelling smoke.}'' Oh my land, I can't see this ending well.

''{Cut to Price Style interior where Blue Laser Commander and two minions stand at the checkout with their shopping cart.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Oh, crap! I forgot my Price Style Plus Card!

''{Glass shatters and Gunhaver and Crackotage leap to the ground in front of Blue Laser Commander. Silent Rip falls behind a checkout lane several aisles away.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Not so fast, Blue Laser!

'''COMMANDER:''' Ugh! I'm so sick of you people!

''{Silent Rip stands up and peeks out from behind the checkout lane.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' The express lane is for ten items or less! You've got two too many!

'''COMMANDER:''' Those are the twins!

''{Cut to a shopping cart with three rolls of WIPE! towels and two baby Blue Laser members, both with eye patches.}

'''BLUE LASER BABY 1:''' Ooo-waa.

'''BLUE LASER BABY 2:''' Ooo-whe.

''{Cut to Silent Rip, whose wrist communicator is beeping.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Sir! Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset is under attack!

'''GUNHAVER:''' We've been had, boys! This grocery store crap was just a diversion!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' Back to base we're gonna head and make sure Reynold isn't dead! ''{laughs}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{as it wipes to the Headquarters}'' Wheee!

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos Headquarters. There is a large hole in one wall with smoke streaming out of it and another unseen area. Cut to interior. Reynold is lying on his back atop the Rocket Backpack. His face is scorched as is a circle on the floor surrounding him, and he has lost his Gunhaver hat. There is large hole in the wall and some rubble litters the ground. Gunhaver enters.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Reynold, are you all right?! What happened here? Nice jacket!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, Gunhaver, it's all my fault. I was upset that you never let me go on any missions so I tried on Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket--

'''GUNHAVER:''' --so you could defend our base from Blue Laser! Gah! Good work, soldier! It's not your fault they got away!

'''REYNOLD:''' What?

''{Cut to view of Gunhaver from above. He has his arm raised to the sky.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Next episode, Blue Laser! Next episooooode!

''{Fade to black. "Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!!" appears on the screen and is sung to music. Cut to a bathroom where a Blue Laser minion is standing in the bathtub, scrubbing the tile wall with a green sponge. Enter Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' The grout cleaner is working, sir.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Fan-freaking-tastic! At last we'll have the edge we need to crush the Cheat Commandos! ''{Pan to show a computer screen which reads "Reason for not crushing Cheat Commandos". In large red blinking letters "MILDEW!!" appears. Danger music plays}''

''{Fade to "THE END."}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of the film, click on '''The End.''' to see an extra scene in the grocery store and what happened to the Blue Laser Babies.
:''{Cut to Price Style interior.}''
'''VOICE:''' ''{over intercom}'' I need a price check on two babies? Price check on two babies.

== Fun Facts ==
{{funfacts}}
*This is the first time we see the [[Cheat Commandos HQ]] playset.
*When Gunhaver tells Firebert, "Think of a better Commando name," Firebert makes a weird sighing noise that sounds just like normal The Cheat-ese.
*The line "Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name" is a reference to the email "[[army]]" when Strong Bad tells The Cheat that Firebert is not a good commando name. It is also seen in an easter egg in which Firebert's action figure package which notes ''Not a good commando name!''
*The episode "Shopping For Danger" is written by [[A. Chimendez]] who also created "The Strong Bad" in the email "[[pizzaz]]" and [[Cheat Commandos...O's]].
*[[Fightgar]] asking for "Old Lady Rub" is a reference to [[Peasant's Quest]], in which the innkeeper has a cabinet full of Old Man Rub.
*The Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket makes the same sound as when [[Stinkoman]] does a [[Double Deuce]], combined with the mechanical sound effect of Homestar's beanie in the email "[[car]]".
*The letters JRBRR are inscribed on the side of the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket
*Gunhaver's mention of Blue Laser buying a machine that would screw with the weather is an obvious reference to a G.I. Joe mini-series, ''[http://www.joeheadquarters.com/joeii.shtml The Revenge Of Cobra]'', in which G.I. Joe and Cobra battle over a machine, the Weather Dominator, which can be used to control the weather.
*Aisle six in the grocery store includes paper towels, soda types, bendy stuff, a cracker, grout cleaner, gym bags, green bottles, and blue bottles.
*In the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, Strong Bad uses a deep voice to do an impression of Reynold. However in this cartoon, Reynold has a high-pitched voice.
*Reynold is cross-eyed when not wearing his glasses.
*When Reynold says "Don't make me use this gun that I have!" it is a reference to the fact that he is pretending to be Gunhaver. In the easter egg of the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, it says on Gunhaver's box "has a gun!"
*Reynold trying on the Justice Rocket Backpack may be a nod to ''Ghostbusters II'', when Louis Tully wished to be a ghostbuster and put on the proton pack.
*The song that plays in the shopping mart easter egg is the Cheat Commandos theme toned down and rendered in a style similar to Homestar's song [[Everybody Knows It]].
*There were five Cheat Commando members who went on the mission. When we see the Cheat Commandos returning to their headquarters, only four returned. Either Fightgar or Firebert was left behind.
**It was most likely Firebert, since he was left behind at the grocery store to think of a better commando name.
*If you zoom in on the silhouettes of The Cheat Commandos returning to the Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset, you can see that they are all wearing [[Gunhaver]]'s hat.
*This is the only full-length cartoon that does not have its name appear superimposed on its clip on the TV screen in the Toons menu when the mouse is moved over its name.
*This is the third time a [[Toilet]] has been put in a cartoon from TBC.
*In the File Photo of Blue Laser, his arm patches are blue, not red like they normally are.
*When Gunhaver shouts to the sky at the end of the cartoon, it may be a reference to the old ''Inspector Gadget'' cartoon.
*Crackotage, the Cheat Commando with the headphones, who speaks is rhyming couplets is a reference to ''Transformers'' where Jazz, a robot, did the same thing.
*The "Blue Las-Alert" may be a reference to the "Trouble Alert" on The Superfriends, which was sometimes compressed into one phrase ("Trouble-Alert" or "Troublealert").
*This is the first full-length toon not to feature Homestar or Pom Pom.
*The "grappling hook loine used is the gun taken from [[Cheat Commandos Commercial]]

[[Image:sbemailahundred.png|thumb|300px|Well what d'ya know...a flashback!]]

'''StrongBadEmail #100'''

The long-anticipated 100th Email has arrived! Jon from NH asks [[Strong Bad]] how long he has known [[Homestar Runner]]. It ends up as a big spoof on the original Homestar children's book, in WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN!

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]], [[Prince of Town]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan (character) | Marzipan]], [[Mr. Bland]], [[Señor]], [[The Cheat]], [[Limozeen]] (easter egg), [[Senor Cardgage]]/[[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]] (easter egg), [[The Strong Bad]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''': ONE TWO THREE FOUR ''{starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background}'' EMAIL IS AWESOME, EMAIL IS WEIRD, EMAIL IS AWESOME AND EMAIL IS WEIRD! And I'll never forget the way it was, GRRRL!

''{Starts reading. However, the text is in the style of Tandy, and it is in fact the very first e-mail he's ever done.}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing
gloves off before you go to bed?

Sincerely,
Abdi LaRue
San Diego, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{Stops reading about halfway through}'' dajede...wait a minute! ''{hits Compy, the text fixes itself to be a new email}'' There we go!

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey there, Strong Bad!
I was wondering. How long have you
known Homestar? Is there some sort of
flashback that could describe how
and when you guys met?
Your Fan,
Jon, NH</pre>

''{Instead of "New Hampshire," Strong Bad says "No Hamsters"}''

''{typing}'' Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH! ''{As he says this with a resonating noise, the left side of the screen expands out. His next one he doesn't type.}'' Right side: WOOOOOAHH--''{the right side of the screen expands out to show Homestar standing there}'' wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.

'''STRONG BAD''': I guess I should start... lookin' to the right more often.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': In fact, I think I might live here.

'''STRONG BAD''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{looking dejected}'' Yes sir.

'''STRONG BAD''': Frame shift left! WOOOOOAAHHH! ''{the screen starts shifting left to get Homestar out of the shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': See ya after the flashback!

''{We go to a picture of Strong Bad on the moon with a tennis racket. The drawing is in the style of the original children's book and we see that it's just a parody of that style. Although, the characters are still somewhat animated. Strong Bad doesn't read every little piece of text, so the text that's there that he doesn't read will be included in a parenthetical when it occurs}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Strong Bad meets the Homestar Runner.

''{turns the page to a picture of just Strong Bad}''

Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.

''(turns the page to a picture of Strong Bad and Coach Z playing tennis on the moon}''

One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3. "You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million," said Strong Bad. "Ooooooh. Now I understand."

''{turn the page to them flying down a rainbow from the moon to earth}''

They flew on a sweet, sweet rainbow bridge back down to Free Country USA.

''{turn the page to Coach Z holding a towel and talking to Strong Bad}''

"I'ma go shower up!" said the Coach Z. "Gross!" said Strong Bad. "Shut up!"

''{turn the page to see Strong Bad walking toward a giant pink egg with yellow spots}''

Walking home, Strong Bad came upon a big ol' egg. "Waaaaaaaaagh!"

''{turn the page to a closer view of Strong Bad and the egg}''

"I wonder what's inside," thought tiny-handed Strong Bad.

''{turn the page to see Homestar behind the egg wearing a yellow shirt with a duck on it}''

"Hello! How do you like my egg, Mr. Strong Bad?" said a voice from behind. "Who the crap are you, Duckshirt?" asked No-shirt. "I'm The Homestar Runner!" said the duckshirt. "Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete."

''{turn the page to a closer view of the scene}''

"Well I folk say you're a terrific liar!" ''{said Strong Bad.}'' "This is plainly my egg. ''{in a King of Town voice}'' "What's all the commotion about?"

''{turn the page to zoom out to see the Prince of Town looking at Strong Bad and Homestar}''

...said the svelt, young Prince of Town. "And who's this weirdo in the duckie shirt?" "I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific ''{athelete!" said Duckshirt.}'' "Prancibald over here says this egg belongs to him, when I found it first."

''{turn the page to a closeup of the Prince of Town}''

"We'll settle this with a ten-step footrace."

''{turn the page to see a bunch of the gang, including some characters from the original children's book, watching Strong Bad and Homestar at the start line of a race}''

And so they all gathered for a ten-step footrace. The slim and trim young Prince of Town explained the rules. ''{a piece of paper shows up reading: "Ten-step Footrace Official Rules. Rule One. Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner! Rule Two. No biting."}'' "Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner!"

''{turn the page to see Strong Bad and Homestar at the line and Marzipan giving the startoff.}''

"Ready-and-set-and-go-now." ''{they start running, with Homestar counting}'' "One, two, three, four, five, six..." ''{Strong Bad has tiny steps and is way behind}'' "Keep up the pace. Gotta break 4:40"

''{turn the page to see silhouettes of everyone, and Homestar has reached the end}''

"Ten!" "And the Duckie-man is the winner. Loser gets the egg."

''{turn the page to see Homestar up front and Strong Bad in the distance with the egg}''

"WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}" "Hooray a-for me!!"

''{turn the page to see Strong Mad holding the egg over his head while Strong Bad watches}''

And so Strong Mad helped to break open the egg. ''{Strong Mad tosses the egg}''

''{turn the page to see the egg broke and a bunch of fishsticks pour out}''

And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!

''{The Cheat springs out of the egg, turn the page to give him his very own page. Turn the page again to see Strong Bad and the Cheat with the egg in the background.}''

"Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!"

''{turn the page to see everyone hanging out by a jukebox}''

And so, The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox with high-speed dubbing and everybody put their weight on it! ''{The Cheat plays music which happens to be a remix of the original intro music for H*R.com, and everyone dances)''

''{cut back to Strong Bad sitting at the stool, talking to Homestar, who's sitting on the ground listening to the tale}''

So that's pretty much how it all went down, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh yes. Read me another one! Another one!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ohhhhh, very well. This one's called The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw ''{Strong Bad pulls out a children's book of the same name. Compy beeps and turns blue with the caption "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails." and ascii fireworks.}'' What the--whoah! Would ya look at that! 100 emails. I had no idea! I lost count around 51. Well, I suppose I should do something to celebrate...ooh! I'll say email 100 times!

''{proceeds to say email 100 times, [[The Paper]] comes down}''

Oo. I'm pa-I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water. ''{the screen creates a glass of water onscreen}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Strong Bad pulls out the book "The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw," you can click on it to get a closer look.
*After Strong Bad says "Email" 100 times, you can click on the words:
**"Congratulations!" for a message from [[Limozeen]]
*** Direct link to Limozeen's greeting: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100_zeen.swf
**"you" to see [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] (complete with Duckshirt) say "Happy 100th buffday! Strong Bad!"
**"have" to see a funny message from [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]]
**"answered" to see [[Senor Cardgage]] say some stuff
**"100" to see [[The Strong Bad]] making a telegram. His "doppleganger" or "copy" is present-day Strong Bad.
*Also, clicking in the 2 areas where the fireworks go off will bring you to two other shorts.
**The firework on the left takes you to a TV ad for [[Discount Flashback Warehouse]].
**The firework on the right shows you what became of the lifetime supply of fishsticks.

== Fun Facts ==
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*The TV from the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from an old H*R.com main menu.
*The guitar the guy is holding in the Limozeen egg is the same guitar that Homestar Runner steals in Puppet Time!, a Gibson Explorer. The bass the other guy is holding is a Fender Jazz-Bass.
*While the Limozeen video is up, the links beneath it are still clickable.
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be making it up. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*The two e-mails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*When [[Senor Cardgage]]/[[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]] says "Many combolations, Elizagerth", it's a reference to the credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*At the very beginning of the toon, the e-mail that Strong Bad starts to read (with the old Tandy 400-style text) before hitting the screen is the e-mail from [[some kinda robot]], the first-ever [[Strong Bad Email]].
*When he reads the Tandy e-mail, his accent is more like it is in the old cartoons (most notably, he pronounces "you" as "joo" a few times).
*The Strong Bad has a sign in his telegram room that states Loafing Not Permitted, a reference to the No Loafing sign. This also appears in #50, [[50 emails]].
*When Strong Bad gasps at the end of the e-mail, it is the same sound effect of the Dry Meal in [[20X6 vs. 1936]].
*The email was assigned the URL of "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html," breaking the convention of the previous ninety-nine. This was done because of [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*More proof that Strong Bad's boxing gloves are his hands; the small boxing gloves are referred to as his tiny hands.
*Old style Marzipan, Strong Sad and Strong Mad refer to the concept sketches.
*Old style Coach Z and Bubs refer to "Where my hat is at?"
*Homestar says "I'm The Homestar Runner." This is a reference to the fact that, as pointed out in the original book, his original name was '''The''' Homestar Runner.
*Presumably the line "even stuff I just made up" is a reference to [[personal favorites]], in which several made-up memories are included.
*Strong Bad couldn't have lost count at email 51 because in email 91 the intro is "Coming in at number 91, its, EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL". However it's possible that he could have said number 91 by coincidence.
*When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered 2 in [[50 emails]], 2 more in [[2 emails]], and you could say he answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails.
*The melty candy bar Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad holds up near the end appears to be a Clark Bar, judging by its wrapper.
*[[The Strong Bad]] appearing with half a mustache was inspired by a waiter [[The Brothers Chaps]] once encountered who sported the same odd facial hair style.
*To date this has the most easter eggs in a toon at a huge eight.
*[[Strong Bad]] is heard saying "Man, so cool" in the [[Senor Cardgage]] easter egg. He said the same thing in the email "[[kind of cool]]".
*[[The Cheat]] mashing play on a jambox also happened in "[[Everybody Knows It]]".
*When [[The Cheat]] jumps out of the egg [[Strong Bad]] says "Awesome! My very own a the Cheat!" but the text says "My very own the cheat!"
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "E-mail" exactly 100 times.
**The Paper comes down during “e-mails” #38 through #40
**For #49 he distinctly says “e-MAIL-a”
**For #67 he quickly says “e-mail-mail-nahduhluh”
**For #72 he says “e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail”
**"E-mails" #91 and #92 blend together so much that it sounds like “email--mail,” but if it was just one “e-mail” then there would only be 99, so it’s been accepted to be 2 separate “e-mails”

== DVD Version ==
*The Limozeen video is now in fullscreen and much higher quality. It also features a different background than the one on the site.
* Due to it being widescreen, the characters in this email look a little stretched out from top to bottom, unless you are watching it on a widescreen TV. Computer monitors seem to have this problem as well.
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I met her in the summertime. Her name was... ''{high pitch singing}'' e-mail!

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad,

I thought you looked cute as a
Japanese cartoon with the blue hair
and everything. ^_~ I was thinking
you might look even better if you got
out in the sun and got a nice tan. I've
heard that a nice tan really
helps your muscles stand out.

Meg,

[[Image:sbemail.png|right|thumb|200px|Strong Bad checks his email.]]

[[Strong Bad]]'s emails are the most updated feature of the Homestar Runner website. Most of the inside jokes on the website (e.g., the [[Floppy Disk Container]]) come from here. A few characters were even created here!

== Note ==
Since Strong Bad's computer was shotgunned, A new email selection menu has replaced the old one. If you wait at the new menu, you can see a short toon. There is currently a bug where if you watch the toon, clicking on the emails will bring you to the wrong page.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, big money! Big money! And.....email!

''{Reading email}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Do you ever go over to The King of
Town's place for dinner? If so,
what's it like?

Chris
Ann Arbor, Michigan</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(typing)'' Well Chris Ann, I hate to admit it but uh yeah, there was this one time when I went over to The King of Town's castle. Seems I placed a bet with one Homestar Runner some Tuesday night.

''{cuts to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner in the field at night}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me get this uh-straight: You're betting me that you're cool.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep, I'm cool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if you're not cool, you have to change your name to Kevin DuBrow. But if you are cool, I gotta spend the night over at The King of Town's?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's the deal, man. The total deal.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're goin' down, son.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No ways.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright! Let's see you be's cool.

''{Homestar pulls out a pair of sunglasses and slowly puts them on. He pauses a moment for the effect to sink in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Sup?

''{Strong Bad takes this in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap!!

''{Cuts to The King of Town's castle. Strong Bad rings the doorbell.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Come on in.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{peeks out from behind the door}'' Is the coast clear?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' The coast is toast!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{comes out from behind the door. He is wearing a big fake beard that seems to be made out of a piece of bark}'' Alright, let's get this over with! ''{takes off beard and enters}''

''{the two walk over to the The King Of Town's pantry}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' So here's all my food stuffs. You want some Pork Snagglins? Or a can of Butter-da or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' King, I think that stuff's for automotive use only.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's possible. Ooh! And check it out! This is my 200 pound bag of Awwww Gratin potatoes! It's an '83!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah that sucks. Look, do you have any video games or like, R-rated movies?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I have ''a'' video game. It's the stand up kind even! Like from an arcade!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Really? Why didn't you say so, you creepy old man? Let's play it!!

''{The game turns out to be "Typing Tutor".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' uh... Never mind.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' How many WPMs can you get up to? That's words per minute, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're about to get 175 fists per stomach if I'm not eating ice cream inside of one minute!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh!

'''STRONG BAD''' ''{narrating as they scarf up ice cream. Flavors we see are choco-gravy and maybe mint?}'': So in the end it didn't turn out half bad. I got to eat a crap load of ice cream.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Want another scoop of casserole flavored?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah! Yeah! Spoon it up! ''{narrating}'' And I left an open can of mayonaise in his ventilation ducts. ''{we see a shot from the interior of a duct as Strong Bad lays a can of Army-style mayonaise}'' Oh, and Typing Tutor isn't actually that bad a game if you play it the right way. ''{cuts to outside the castle, where Strong Bad is hoisting Typing Tutor over The King of Town's head.}'' Get ready for fun!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{blindfolded}'' I'm ready!

''{cuts back to Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just goes to show you Chris Ann, big losers are what you make of them. For instance, I'm gonna go make an indentured servant out of Strong Sad. And now, the get up noise. ''{We hear the chair move as Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "losers" to see a commercial, and click "them" to see more of Homestar.

== Fun Facts ==
*"Come on, big money! Big money!" at the opening is a reference to the classic game show Press Your Luck. Contestants often said "Big money! Big money! No whammies!" before hitting the buzzer.

*The King of Town has a lot of food from previous episodes. There is...
**Schenectady Crispies (from [[labor day]])
**"Potate" Chips (from [[morning routine]] and [[cheatday]])
**Fluffy Puff Mayo (from [[A Decemberween Pageant]])
**Cocoa Butter (from [[suntan]])
**Animal Phat (from [[suntan]])

*Although the KoT found a lifetime supply of fishsticks in [[flashback]], he didn't have any in his pantry.

*"The coast is toast" is the tagline for the movie ''Volcano''.

*Kevin DuBrow is a member of the metal band Quiet Riot. Although Homestar and Strong Bad pronounce his last name as if it rhymes with "plow," in actuality, it rhymes with "snow."

*"Typing Tutor" was a computer game whose purpose was, unsurprisingly, to teach people how to type. The "arcade Typing Tutor" in the email doesn't even have a keyboard; it looks more like a Space Invaders clone but with letters instead of aliens.

*The Typing Tutor Turbo game plays the same sound that plays when you start [[Revenge of the King]]. This sound is based on [[The King of Town DVD]] music.

*At the loading page of this email,the letters of the word "loading" do not blink.

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Marzipan]]

== Biography ==
''"She's kind of annoying, and overbearing, and kind of a big hippie."'' - [[Homestar Runner]]

Marzipan is Homestar Runner's girlfriend, although during the course of the website's running she's become more and more annoyed with her sweetheart. As [[Strong Bad]] says, she's a "dirty hippie without the dirt". She loves to eat tofu, she's a huge animal-rights activist, and she likes to sit outside and play songs about happiness with her guitar, [[Carol]]. Marzipan looks a lot like a living broomstick, with a long thin head and a bulbous purple dress with orange baubles around it. The look would be more appropriately termed "Southern belle". [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|Her answering machine]] is a target of prankishness from [[Strong Bad]] and others, as well as a source of amusement for visitors to the site. Marzipan is the only character voiced by the talented [[Missy Palmer]], as well as the only female main character on the site (excepting the [[Unnamed Girl]] and Marzipan's [[20X6 Marzipan|20x6]] and [[1936 Marzipan|1936]] counterparts).

[http://weddings.about.com/cs/glossary/g/Marzipan.htm?terms=marzipan About.com] defines "marzipan" as "An almond-flavored paste. Often used to create flowers and fruits on a wedding cake."

Her Halloween costumes over the years were Jeannie (from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Dream_of_Jeannie I Dream of Jeannie]), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Ramone Joey Ramone], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Lopes Left Eye Lopes], [http://www.tvacres.com/dolls_log_lady.htm The Log Lady], and [[Wikipedia:Willie Nelson|Willie Nelson]].

*'''Debut''': [[She Loves Me!]]
*[[:Category:Marzipan Filmography|Complete Filmography]]

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Oh Yeah Yeah!!}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Hi, I'm Marzipan, and this is my guitar Carol. Say hi, Carol. ''{performs the scale of E major}'' Ooh, E scale. Nice choice. When I'm not rockin' out, I like to dig in my garden and eat. I'm a fiercely independent woman, and I'm fiercely independent about the soy products that I choose. [[Homestar Runner]] and I are one hot item when I say we are. And today we are (not).

'''HOMESTAR''': Yay!/Boo!

'''MARZIPAN''': Well, I like baby animals, and cats and dogs. But it makes me sad to see cats and dogs in the same room together. Okay, bye, I'm off to the Chinchilla protest.

'''HOMESTAR''': Boo!/Yay!

''(Sometimes Marzipan will say "And today we are not." Instead. Then Homestar will say "Boo" instead of "Yay", and "Yay" instead of "Boo" at the end.)''

== Fun Facts ==
* The old characters page in the museum says The King of Town is Marzipan's father, but this is the only reference to it on the site. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but threw it out, so it is not really a "fact" anymore.

''{reads up to "'0lu8" before stopping}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the Quadratic Formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those VIRUS emails? Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you? I'll take care of this!

''{Strong Bad types "deleted," but the screen replies "NICE TRY!" A red line of text appears reading "That didn't work."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! I said deleted!

''{Strong Bad types it again, but the screen flashes "NOTTA CHANCE!!" A red line of text appears reading "That neither"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, a wise guy, eh? Maybe I should introduce you to my main man, Edgar.

''{Strong Bad types in edgarware.exe, bringing up the following text on-screen}''

<pre>
Edgar the Virus

''{Strong Bad hits a key, and the screen switches to the following text}''

<pre>
Virus Protection
version .0001

Last scan was NEVER ago.

scanning...
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK Edgar, now drop a TRAIN on 'em!

''{The following text now appears on the screen}''

<pre>
Scan Complete!

423, 827
Viruses Found!

A New Record!!
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wah! That is NOT a small number! That is a BIG number! What'm I gonna do?

''{The following text now appears on the screen}''

<pre>
FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

Computer over.

Virus = Very Yes.
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Computer over? Virus equals "very yes?" That's not a good prize!

''{The text on the Compy 386 screen melts off, and slides onto the floor}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad jumps out of the way. The camera zooms out to a view of the computer desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Compy just peed my carpet.

''{The corner of the computer desk briefly flashes, showing an underlying gridwork to it, The No Loafing sign becomes the following text and falls off the wall.}''

<pre>
<head>
<href>No loafing</href>
<body>
</pre>

''{The Floppy Disk Container gets swallowed by the computer desk, and Strong Sad walks in, but his head has been replaced by his emoticons from Strong Sad's Lament}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, what's going on here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! Uh, I dunno. You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of the Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3," in the corner}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No more irresponsibly than usual.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Lower body starts walking away in place}'' Did you get a virus?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh, no.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you get 400,000 viruses?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. VERY yes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well hurry up and ''do'' something about it before it gets worse!

''{Strong Sad turns into a Strong Sad trading card and flies up and off the screen. The Main Page at the top of the screen disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh, The Cheat!

''{Strong Bad runs off the screen and into the black to the right of the computer desk, then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? Whoa! It's cold out here!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump back onto the screen, but it shifts to the left, causing him to still fall on blank space}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Homestar Runner walks onscreen. His body is 1936 The Homestar Runner's body, while the rest of him is normal. Instead of his legs moving, he just glides on, producing several ghost images of himself}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No no! Don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground}'' Like these right here! Uhh, this one ''{picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stop!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' -and this one ''{picks up "games" from the bottom menu}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not supposed to be possible!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' -and this one ''{picks up "characters" from the bottom menu}''

''{Suddenly, several pop-up windows (including a real one) titled "Click on the Monkey!!" and featuring oldschool Homestar in them appear saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!" spawn. Strong Bad starts screaming and pounding the side of the screen with his fists. Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Mad is standing nearby and Marzipan is standing next to a huge stack of VHS tapes}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well I think it's fantastic, Strong Mad! That's the best stack of VHS tapes I've ever-

''{Marzipan suddenly turns into a ASCII rendering of herself, and her voice becomes extremely deep and distorted making her words unintelligible}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

''{Strong Mad turns into a picture of himself from his character video inside a large M, which walks offscreen. Text appears at the top of the screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
If anyone is truly a big lug, Strong Mad is. This guy is dumb
strong, and that's pretty much the definition of a lug. One ti
his brother Strong Bad asked him to pick up this one car. An
he did, but it was the wrong car. See? Dumb and strong. He'
</pre>

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is standing with his shovel extended and some you-know-what on the end of it, as the King of Town stands nearby}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A little more to the left... Good, good

''{The scene suddenly changes to a TGS style piece of paper, with the text "issue 3.14159265and the rest" at the top}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Poopsmith?

''{The Ugly One appears out of nowhere, her mouth huge and distorted}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it 9 times!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ow! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner loading screen, which splits and reveals a screen with the text "It is now safe to turn your computer off." Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His face is a broken JPG, his legs are doubled (one red, one blue) and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a million years ago.

''{Cut to a cloud scene. Strong Bad is here and extremely glitched up, as is The Cheat who keeps floating around the screen randomly. Random garbage graphics keep flying by in the foreground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' With Marzipan's Radish we can go and-a win the competition!

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! He fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man!

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, and Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Thanks Bubs! How'd you get rid of th- wait. Why do you have a shotgun? What did you do? Where's my Compy?!

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' YOU MURDERER! You killed my brother! I mean computer.

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, my mouth was a broken JPG. I had no choice!

''{Bubs pronounces JPG as jay-peg}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ALL understand! I mean don't understand. AAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs offscreen, very distraught. The Cheat makes some Cheat noises, and follows him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Bubs! Can I have my leg back, now?

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very distraught}'' Dear Strong Bad, I don't know the crapfully yours. ''{hits head on keyboard a few times}'' I don't know the crapfully yours. *sniff* I can't RELATE! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' I can't ''RELATE''! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and MIX ''{hits head}'' it up.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very distraught}'' I don't remember your NAME, Davey! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you click on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail, you can see Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*If you click on the fan on the right, you can see a [[Cheat Commandos]] excerpt, but instead of a gun, Fightgar holds Homestar's leg (which curiously works the same way.)
*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen you can still click the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] buttons to see them.
**If you tab over to where the updates are posted and hit enter, it takes you to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**If you mouse over the Quote of the Week, it bounces around the screen until it gets lodged at the top. When you click "Hear it," a pixelated broom scrolls vertically along the screen and makes a loud distorted noise. When you click the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen.
**If you click on the Sketchbook, a picture of Coach Z upside down appears, with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's the Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and a grill. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom.
**If you click on Weekly Fanstuff, a picture of a color pallate screen appears with a green X over it.

== Fun Facts ==
*A lot of the things said during the time when the viruses go haywire are quotes from previous episodes. For example, SB talking about radishes is from [[The Reddest Radish]]. The Ugly One says one of the lines from the Cheat's cartoon in the SBemail [[crazy cartoon]].
*When Strong Sad appears after the water flows out of the Compy 386, if you look to the top right corner you see the words "Stave it off 1, 2, 3..." which is an obvious referral to the Strong Bad e-mail [[for kids]].
*When the screen switches to the "Teen Girl Squad" screen, the issue number is the first nine digits of Pi.
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula#Quadratic_formula The quadratic formula] is a mathematical equation used for finding solutions to quadratic equations.
*When Bubs' mouth is a broken jpeg, it has the letters "TH." this is a reference to his other identity, [[Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman]].
*The floppy on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "Spy vs. Spy" before it melts into the desk. Spy vs. Spy, based on the feature comic of Mad Magazine, was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.
*During the cloud scene right before the computer gets fixed, a silhouette of [[Rather Dashing|Rather Dashing]] (the [[Peasant's Quest|Peasant's Quest]] protagonist) walks across the screen.
*In the easter egg with Fightgar, notice that his gun is Homestar's leg.
*This is most likely the end of the Compy 386 era. We should see a new computer in the next email or so. The last computer change was in [[invisibility]]
*This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails where they do this are [[flashback]] (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black") and [[the process]] (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home).
*Note that the sound Strong Mad makes as he doodles off the screen is the same as Homsar's movement noise.
*The sound that the shotgun makes (i.e. everything returning to normal) is the same sound as when The Cheat's head explodes.
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux "Linux"] refers to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software Free] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like Unix-like] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computer_science%29 kernel] originally written for the 386 by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds Linus Torvalds] in 1991, or an entire operating system which uses this kernel. The name is often thrown around as a buzzword by those who do not know what it is, which explains Strong Bad's absolutely random use of the name.
*Bubs' computer expertise was first recognized in [[The System is Down]]
*After Homestar removes the words "games", "characters", and "downloads" from the bottom of the screen, all of the other words, except for "toons", are still clickable.
*The "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen is from old Windows 95 Machines which could not turn themselves off.
*Bubs selling the broken Compy 386 (easter egg) is a reference to [[KoT E-mail]], in which we learn Bubs had also sold the broken Tandy 400.
*When Homestar appears on the screen his body is that of Old Timey Homestar.
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [http://e2tl.playvectrex.com/mirror/cards.swf Trading Cards] that has since been removed from the site.
*The "Click the Monkey" phrase, "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome", was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. It has since been changed, though. The phrase is also heard in [[The Cheat Theme Song]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the last iteration of the Characters page ([http://homestarrunner.com/yearbook.html The Yearbook]).
*"FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR" comes from [[50 emails]]. His response that it's not a "good prize" comes from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*During the big glitch scene right before Bubs "fixes" the computer, we can hear the song from the intro of [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]] and [[That a Ghost]].
*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, refering to the onion-skinning feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.
*The address of the actual pop-up window that comes up is [http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsmakeout.html hsmakeout.html], and the flash file contained within is [http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsmakeout.swf hsmakeout.swf].
*Bubs has Homestar's leg while the virus is going crazy. The leg is actually a gun! This explains why Homestar is jumping on one foot at the end of the cartoon. Because he thinks Bubs had his leg the whole time. But it was just a gun. This also explains why Fightgar (of Cheat Commandos fame) is shooting with Homestar's leg in the easter egg found by clicking the fan on the right at the end of the cartoon.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the Quadratic Formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those VIRUS emails? Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you? I'll take care of this!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of the Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3," in the corner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No no! Don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground}'' Like these right here! Uhh, this one ''{picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stop!

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you click on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail, you can see Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*If you click on the fan on the right, you can see a [[Cheat Commandos]] excerpt.
*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen you can still click the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] buttons to see them.
**If you tab over to where the updates are posted and hit enter, it takes you to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**If you mouse over the Quote of the Week, it bounces around the screen until it gets lodged at the top. When you click "Hear it," a pixelated broom scrolls vertically along the screen and makes a loud distorted noise. When you click the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen.
**If you click on the Sketchbook, a strange picture of Coach Z upside down with no Z on his shirt (instead only white space is there) appears. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom.

== Fun Facts ==
*A lot of the things said during the time when the viruses go haywire are quotes from previous episodes. For example, SB talking about radishes is from [[The Reddest Radish]]. The Ugly One says one of the lines from the Cheat's cartoon in the SBemail [[crazy cartoon]].
*When Strong Sad appears after the water flows out of the Compy 386, if you look to the top right corner you see the words "Stave it off 1, 2, 3..." which refers to the Strong Bad e-mail [[for kids]].
*When the screen switches to the "Teen Girl Squad" screen, the issue number is the first nine digits of Pi.
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula#Quadratic_formula The quadratic formula] is a mathematical equation used for finding solutions to quadratic equations.
*When Bubs' mouth is a broken jpeg, it has the letters "TH." this is a reference to his other identity, [[Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman]].
*The floppy on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "Spy vs. Spy" before it melts into the desk. Spy vs. Spy, based on the feature comic of Mad Magazine, was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.
*During the cloud scene right before the computer gets fixed, a silhouette of [[Rather Dashing|Rather Dashing]] (the [[Peasant's Quest|Peasant's Quest]] protagonist) walks across the screen.
*In the easter egg with Fightgar, notice that his gun is Homestar's leg.
*This is most likely the end of the Compy 386 era. We should see a new computer in the next email or so. The last computer change was in [[invisibility]]
*This is one of only a few emails where the characters seem to "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. Other emails where they do this are [[flashback]] (they extend the size of the display area and Homestar is "behind the black") and [[the process]] (the entire email implies that Strong Bad is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home).
*Note that the sound Strong Mad makes as he doodles off the screen is the same as Homsar's movement noise.
*The sound that the shotgun makes (i.e. everything returning to normal) is the same sound as when The Cheat's head explodes.
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux "Linux"] refers to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software Free] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like Unix-like] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computer_science%29 kernel] originally written for the 386 by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds Linus Torvalds] in 1991, or an entire operating system which uses this kernel. The name is often thrown around as a buzzword by those who do not know what it is, which explains Strong Bad's absolutely random use of the name.
*Bubs' computer expertise was first recognized in [[The System is Down]]
*After Homestar removes the words "games", "characters", and "downloads" from the bottom of the screen, all of the other words, except for "toons", are still clickable.
*The "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen is from old Windows 95 Machines which could not turn themselves off.
*Bubs selling the broken Compy 386 (easter egg) is a reference to [[KoT E-mail]], in which we learn Bubs had also sold the broken Tandy 400.
*When Homestar appears on the screen his body is that of Old Timey Homestar.
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [http://e2tl.playvectrex.com/mirror/cards.swf Trading Cards] that has since been removed from the site.
*The "Click the Monkey" phrase, "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome", was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. It has since been changed, though. The phrase is also heard in [[The Cheat Theme Song]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the last iteration of the Characters page ([http://homestarrunner.com/yearbook.html The Yearbook]).
*"FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR" comes from [[50 emails]]. His response that it's not a "good prize" comes from [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*During the big glitch scene right before Bubs "fixes" the computer, we can hear the song from the intro of [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*The address of the actual pop-up window that comes up is [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsmakeout.html hsmakeout.html]], and the flash file contained within is [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsmakeout.swf hsmakeout.swf]].

*During the big glitch scene right before Bubs "fixes" the computer, we can hear the song from the intro of [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].

''{The Paper comes down with the menu selections. About 30 seconds later, Strong Bad turns to the camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, The Paper, I think you're going to have to spell it out better for these simpletons. Apparently, they're not quite grasping it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chucks a few floppies off to one side}'' What is that stupid word? ''{starts hitting head against keyboard to punctuate his words, causing some of its keys to fly out}'' WHAT! IS! THAT! STUPID! WORD! WHY! WON'T YOU! TELL ME! MR! COMPUTER! MAN!

''{As he pounds his head on the keyboard, the text "whateeted," "is leted," "thateeted," "OUCH!," "my teeth!," and "my butt!!" appears on the screen. The Compy 386 then displays its Flagrant Error screen. The camera has now panned to the door. Strong Bad walks in and views this spectacle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{shouting}'' Hey, bring us some Cold Ones when you get back in here!

''{Strong Bad sticks his head back under The Paper}''

=== Bonus Menu ===

'''STRONG MAD:''' Did you just say bonus stuff?

''{Cut to the Trodgor arcade cabinet screen, which has the menu selections. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad cuts in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, choosy! Time's up! I'm playing Trogdor! ''{starts up a Trogdor game}'' Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishin'! ''{Trogdor gets killed}'' Oh man. ''{The game over screen shows}'' What?! What's wrong with this stupid game?

'''[[strongbad_email.exe]] Bonus Email #3'''

Wilbur asks Strong Bad's opinion on the effects of video games on children. This email takes place in the Compy 386 era.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], Wilbur
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There comes a time, when you read a certain email. ''{reads email}''

<pre>
Dear Strong Bad,
What is your opinion of the effects
of in video games on children? Are
video games harmful to the
development of the human brain?

sincerely,
Wilbur, Seattle, WA
</pre>

''{Strong Bad sings "WA" as a high note (prounounced "wa")}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, Wilbur. Sounds an awful lot like a little video game programming version of The Cheat.

''{A balding creature with a human head, long hair, glasses, a beard, and a The Cheat body appears on the screen momentarily}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Wilbur. Video games actually teach you all kindsa new stuff. Think of all the words we've learned from video games. ''{clears screen}'' There's "strafe." Who ever used strafe before they started putting it in video games? They used to just say, "walk sideways and shoot." Then there's "toggle." Y'know, you gotta toggle between the missles and the lasers. ''{clears screen}'' And who could forget "melee." Which I can only assume means, "a buncha peoples fighting, like, all at the same time." Plus, most video games provide a veritable what-not-to-do of spelling and grammar. ''{stops typing}'' Just give a kid a video game instruction booklet

''{The cover of the instruction manual for "Strong Sad's Strafing/Toggling Challenge!!" appears on the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing}'' and play "Find the complete sentence." That's plenty educational!

''{The manual turns to Page One, which reads as follows}''

<pre>
Play for best!!
- top score wins choice
- d+pad UP for combo
- remember alert!
Always to stop scoring. Challenge again!
</pre>

''{The manual disappears, and Strong Bad resumes responding}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And who doesn't remember staying up all night to beat an end boss only to be rewarded with a hearty ''{typed in big, bold, golden letters}'' CONGRATURATION! ''{resumes typing normally}'' They didn't even bother giving you multiple ones. Just a single congraturation they had lying around the video game make place.

''{cut to an office setting. A balding creature with short hair, glasses, and a moustache and a The Cheat body is standing by a computer, while Wilbur is standing near a box of "congraturations!", which look like muffins. A Broderbund Software and Jumpman poster are in the background. Text in the corner reads "AT THE VIDEO GAME PLACE"}''

'''BALD GUY:''' Hey man, you gonna eat that last Congraturation?

'''WILBUR:''' Naw, man. I'm puttin' it in the game if you beat the end boss.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{angrily}'' Big cheap stupid waste of my time! They're being jerks!

''{The Paper comes down}''

== Fun Facts ==
*The font on the instruction manual for "Challenge!!" is the same as the font used for [[monster truck|Axesome Cross]].
*The controller cartoon Strong Sad is holding in the instruction manual is very similar to the oldschool NES controllers.
*Broderbund Software is a now-defunct game development house, most well known for making Lode Runner, Reader Rabbit and the Carmen Sandiego Series. The [http://www.broderbund.com/ company itself] is still alive, but has all but ceased production of games.
*Jumpman was the original name of Mario.
*"CONGRATURATION" might be a sly reference to the NES game 1942, known for being almost unbearably hard and only having the word "CONGRATULATION" as its ending screen.
*The bad english throughout the email is a reference to the poor Japanese/English translation that often happened in old video games.
*Strong Bad's use of the word "melee" is reference to Super Smash Bros. Melee, for the GCN.
*It could also be a reference to games like Halo where you can hit people with your weapon, which is called a Melee attack.
*The title of this email is a reference to [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]]

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking along in regular clothing during the daytime. Then, a nighttime background scrolls onscreen, stitched right onto the daytime background. As the trio cross the [[Wikipedia:Terminator|terminator]] into nighttime, they get changed in to their costumes (with a slight slurping noise) as the opening credits roll; "Halloween Fairstival" / Spoken By Matt and Missy / Maken By Mike and Matt / Here go the first scene...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright boys, it's Halloween night, what we gonna do?

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come again?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's wrong there, Philly Cheat-steak? You got-a some Hiccups?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well you picked the perfect night to have them. We shouldn't have any trouble scaring the hiccups out of you on Halloween. Let's see what's going on tonight. There's gotta be something scary.

''{Zoom in on poster with "Coach Z's Haunted Locka-room" adorned on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, that's perfect! I've seen some stuff in that locker room that would scare more than just the hiccups out of you, let me tell ya. Let's check it on out!

''{Cut to a haunted locker room with a dark screen and green gas along the floor}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You scared yet, The Cheat? What about that drippy towel over there? That's pretty scary, huh? ''{in a scared voice}'' Oh no, please don't drip on me!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''Strong Bad:''' You smell like shin guards!

''{Coach Z appears}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{in a frightening voice}'' Crackity towel! Tommy John surgery!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat}'' Coach, we're trying to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat. You got anything that's not just gross and moist?

'''COACH Z:''' What could be scarier than Blue Star Ointment?! Ooooooh! (pronouced "aawooooeeeeorrrrre")

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, this has gone from weird and kinda gross to a serious health risk. Let's bolt.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey! You guys didn't even get your candy out of the toilet there! ''{pronounces "toilet" as "terlet"}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad under a banner that says "Strong Sad's Haunted Haikus"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking a Haiku}''
:This night. Black as pitch.
:Doom from inside me wells up.
:Pray I don't get egged.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know or care what a Hai-oo-koo is. But we need to scare The Cheat.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, I got just the thing! ''{speaking another Haiku}''
:Rapping at the door.
:Fills up aged pillow case.
:So sick of Smarties.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I get it. Let me try one! ''{speaking his own Haiku}''
:A butt for a face.
:Little brother: dork, dork, dork.
:Stay out of my room.
I'm sorry, The Cheat, looks like we got to find some other way to scare the ever-loving hiccups out of you.

'''STRONG SAD:''' You don't ''scare'' the hiccups out of somebody! You gotta ''laugh'' 'em out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That sounds like a segue!

''{Segue to Bubs, against the side wall of his concession stand, under a neon sign reading "Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween comedy club"}''

'''BUBS:''' I mean, seriously, people, it's the 90s! Am I right? Am I left? ''{Strong Mad laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say, Bubs, your comedy club bears a striking resemblance to the side of your concession stand.

'''BUBS:''' Aww, that's rich. You know something else bears a striking resemblance to something else?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunn-

'''BUBS:''' Women can't drive!

''{Strong Mad laughs again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwww, let's get out here, my bad pennies.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat leave}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS GUY CRACKS ME UP!

'''BUBS:''' And, airline food! I mean, humminah-what? ''{Bubs hits his head with his microphone. Strong Mad laughs again}''

''{cut to sign 'The KOT's verry Halloween related turducken bob'; pan to the King of Town with three turduckens in mashed potatoes}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hurry, hurry, hurry! Before I eat it all! Step right up and get your Halloween on! Bobbin' for Turduckens!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Oldie, Shut up! Your pal, Strong Bad.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Howdy, boys. Either of you got a wicked mashed potato Jones?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Mashed Potato Jones. Now there's a fella I'd like to meet!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, we need to get rid of The Cheat's hiccups. You got any grody old man remedies?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Sure! You gotta feed and feed the hiccups until they mature into liver failure! And then...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're not trying to kill The Cheat! Don't ya have anything that could just scare him?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I have this x-ray of my heart.

''{The King of Town holds up an x-ray showing a ham where his heart should be, labelled 'General Caveat Lower Eclusal'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not scary. That's... promising! Come on, The Cheat. Let's let the King die in peace.

''{The King of Town's mask spins into a sad face, like the character he's dressed up as}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yes. Let's.

''{Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith who are holding a silent auction}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up, no-talkers? Keep on... no-talking.

''{This is only if you click on The Poopsmith's belt: Homsar pops out of the sign and stands upside down on the top of the border.}''
'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAa... I blew it, man! I lose my touch.
''{He runs around the border while The Poopsmith and Pom-Pom watch.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan standing with a guitar next to a stall of fruit.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this mess?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ready, everybody? A-one, and a-two, and a-here we go! ''{Marzipan sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is it! This is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good job, The Cheat! Now try harmonizing with the butternut squashes! ''{sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This might not get rid of the hiccups, but it's about to give me the throw-ups!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh yeah! Lay it on me, Mr. Corn!

''{Strong Bad makes vomiting noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears from behind a tree, on which is a sign reading 'back alley dealings'}'' Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys guys guys! You guys...errrr...need some witches' brew? I got some right here. Two jars. Cold, hot, fresh witches' brew! Only ten bucks a pop! Side effects include wine, women, and song. ''{He holds up two jars labelled 'brüe'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witches' brew, eh? All right, we'll take one jar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here you go.

''{The Cheat drinks it and hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap! He's still got 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That'll be ten bucks! Please drive around to the second window!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, okay... But, uhhh, can you pay us the ten bucks tomorrow?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I'm good for it. I'll pay you the ten bucks right now!

''{Homestar gives the money to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, I'll give you ten bucks if you stop hiccupping!

''{The Cheat tucks the cash into his costume and stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Hey, Homestar! I'll give you ten bucks if you stop breathing!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, you got a deal! ''{Homestar tries for a couple of seconds}'' Strong Bad... I couldn't do it... for very long...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd try again. Ten is a lot of bucks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right, a lot of ducks!

''{He keeps trying during the fade-out}''

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking along in regular clothing during the daytime. Then, a nighttime background scrolls onscreen, stitched right onto the daytime background. As the trio cross the [[Wikipedia:Terminator|terminator]] into nighttime, they get changed in to their costumes (with a slight slurping noise) as the opening credits roll; "Halloween Fairstival" / Spoken By Matt and Missy / Maken By Mike and Matt / Here go the first scene...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright boys, it's Halloween night, what we gonna do?

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come again?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's wrong there, Philly Cheat-steak? You got-a some Hiccups?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well you picked the perfect night to have them. We shouldn't have any trouble scaring the hiccups out of you on Halloween. Let's see what's going on tonight. There's gotta be something scary.

''{Zoom in on poster with "Coach Z's Haunted Locka-room" adorned on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, that's perfect! I've seen some stuff in that locker room that would scare more than just the hiccups out of you, let me tell ya. Let's check it on out!

''{Cut to a haunted locker room with a dark screen and green gas along the floor}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You scared yet, The Cheat? What about that drippy towel over there? That's pretty scary, huh? ''{in a scared voice}'' Oh no, please don't drip on me!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''Strong Bad:''' You smell like shin guards!

''{Coach Z appears}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{in a frightening voice}'' Crackity towel! Tommy John surgery!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat}'' Coach, we're trying to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat. You got anything that's not just gross and moist?

'''COACH Z:''' What could be scarier than Blue Star Ointment?! Ooooooh! (pronouced "aawooooeeeeorrrrre")

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, this has gone from weird and kinda gross to a serious health risk. Let's bolt.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey! You guys didn't even get your candy out of the toilet there! ''{pronounces "toilet" as "terlet"}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad under a banner that says "Strong Sad's Haunted Haikus"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking a Haiku}''
:This night. Black as pitch.
:Doom from inside me wells up.
:Pray I don't get egged.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know or care what a Hai-oo-koo is. But we need to scare The Cheat.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, I got just the thing! ''{speaking another Haiku}''
:Rapping at the door.
:Fills up aged pillow case.
:So sick of Smarties.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I get it. Let me try one! ''{speaking his own Haiku}''
:A butt for a face.
:Little brother: dork, dork, dork.
:Stay out of my room.
I'm sorry, The Cheat, looks like we got to find some other way to scare the ever-loving hiccups out of you.

'''STRONG SAD:''' You don't ''scare'' the hiccups out of somebody! You gotta ''laugh'' 'em out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That sounds like a segue!

''{Segue to Bubs, against the side wall of his concession stand, under a neon sign reading "Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween comedy club"}''

'''BUBS:''' I mean, seriously, people, it's the 90s! Am I right? Am I left? ''{Strong Mad laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say, Bubs, your comedy club bears a striking resemblance to the side of your concession stand.

'''BUBS:''' Aww, that's rich. You know something else bears a striking resemblance to something else?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunn-

'''BUBS:''' Women can't drive!

''{Strong Mad laughs again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwww, let's get out here, my bad pennies.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat leave}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS GUY CRACKS ME UP!

'''BUBS:''' And, airline food! I mean, humminah-what? ''{Bubs hits his head with his microphone. Strong Mad laughs again}''

''{cut to sign 'The KOT's verry Halloween related turducken bob'; pan to the King of Town with three turduckens in mashed potatoes}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hurry, hurry, hurry! Before I eat it all! Step right up and get your Halloween on! Bobbin' for Turduckens!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Oldie, Shut up! Your pal, Strong Bad.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Howdy, boys. Either of you got a wicked mashed potato Jones?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Mashed Potato Jones. Now there's a fella I'd like to meet!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, we need to get rid of The Cheat's hiccups. You got any grody old man remedies?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Sure! You gotta feed and feed the hiccups until they mature into liver failure! And then...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're not trying to kill The Cheat! Don't ya have anything that could just scare him?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I have this x-ray of my heart.

''{The King of Town holds up an x-ray showing a ham where his heart should be, labelled 'General Caveat Lower Eclusal'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not scary. That's... promising! Come on, The Cheat. Let's let the King die in peace.

''{The King of Town's mask spins into a sad face, like the character he's dressed up as}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yes. Let's.

''{Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith who are holding a silent auction}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up, no-talkers? Keep on... no-talking.

''{This is only if you click on The Poopsmith's belt: Homsar pops out of the sign and stands upside down on the top of the border.}''
'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAa... I blew it, man! I lose my touch.
''{He runs around the border while The Poopsmith and Pom-Pom watch.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan standing with a guitar next to a stall of fruit.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this mess?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ready, everybody? A-one, and a-two, and a-here we go! ''{Marzipan sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is it! This is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good job, The Cheat! Now try harmonizing with the butternut squashes! ''{sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This might not get rid of the hiccups, but it's about to give me the throw-ups!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh yeah! Lay it on me, Mr. Corn!

''{Strong Bad makes vomiting noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears from behind a tree, on which is a sign reading 'back alley dealings'}'' Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys guys guys! You guys...errrr...need some witches' brew? I got some right here. Two jars. Cold, hot, fresh witches' brew! Only ten bucks a pop! Side effects include wine, women, and song. ''{He holds up two jars labelled 'brüe'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witches' brew, eh? All right, we'll take one jar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here you go.

''{The Cheat drinks it and hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap! He's still got 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That'll be ten bucks! Please drive around to the second window!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, okay... But, uhhh, can you pay us the ten bucks tomorrow?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I'm good for it. I'll pay you the ten bucks right now!

{Homestar gives the money to Strong Bad}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, I'll give you ten bucks if you stop hiccupping!

''{The Cheat tucks the cash into his costume and stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Hey, Homestar! I'll give you ten bucks if you stop breathing!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, you got a deal! ''{Homestar tries for a couple of seconds}'' Strong Bad... I couldn't do it... for very long...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd try again. Ten is a lot of bucks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right, a lot of ducks!

''{He keeps trying during the fade-out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright boys, it's Halloween night, what we gonna do?

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come again?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's wrong there, Philly Cheat-steak? You got-a some Hiccups?

''{Again, The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well you picked the perfect night to have them. We shouldn't have any trouble scaring the hiccups out of you on Halloween. Let's see what's going on tonight. There's gotta be something scary.

''{Zoom in on poster with "Coach Z's Haunted Locka-room" adorned on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, that's perfect! I've seen some stuff in that locker room that would scare more than just the hiccups out of you, let me tell ya. Let's check it on out!

''{Cut to a haunted locker room with a dark screen and green gas along the floor}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You scared yet, The Cheat? What about that drippy towel over there? That's pretty scary, huh? ''{in a scared voice}'' Oh no, please don't drip on me!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''Strong Bad:''' You smell like shin guards!

''{Coach Z appears}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{in a frightening voice}'' Crackity towel! Tommy John surgery!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat}'' Coach, we're trying to scare the hiccups out of The Cheat. You got anything that's not just gross and moist?

'''COACH Z:''' What could be scarier than Blue Star Ointment?! Ooooooh! (pronouced "aawooooeeeeorrrrre")

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, this has gone from weird and kinda gross to a serious health risk. Let's bolt.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey! You guys didn't even get your candy out of the toilet there! ''{pronounces "toilet" as "terlet"}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad under a banner that says "Strong Sad's Haunted Haikus"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking a Haiku}''
:This night. Black as pitch.
:Doom from inside me wells up.
:Pray I don't get egged.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know or care what a Hai-oo-koo is. But we need to scare The Cheat.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh, I got just the thing! ''{speaking another Haiku}''
:Rapping at the door.
:Fills up aged pillow case.
:So sick of Smarties.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I get it. Let me try one! ''{speaking his own Haiku}''
:A butt for a face.
:Little brother: dork, dork, dork.
:Stay out of my room.
I'm sorry, The Cheat, looks like we got to find some other way to scare the ever-loving hiccups out of you.

'''STRONG SAD:''' You don't ''scare'' the hiccups out of somebody! You gotta ''laugh'' 'em out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That sounds like a segue!

''{Segue to Bubs, against the side wall of his concession stand, under a neon sign reading "Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween comedy club"}''

'''BUBS:''' I mean, seriously, people, it's the 90s! Am I right? Am I left? ''{Strong Mad laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Say, Bubs, your comedy club bears a striking resemblance to the side of your concession stand.

'''BUBS:''' Aww, that's rich. You know something else bears a striking resemblance to something else?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunn-

'''BUBS:''' Women can't drive!

''{Strong Mad laughs again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwww, let's get out here, my bad pennies.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat leave}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS GUY CRACKS ME UP!

'''BUBS:''' And, airline food! I mean, humminah-what? ''{Bubs hits his head with his microphone. Strong Mad laughs again}''

''{cut to sign 'The KOT's verry Halloween related turducken bob'; pan to the King of Town with three turduckens in mashed potatoes}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hurry, hurry, hurry! Before I eat it all! Step right up and get your Halloween on! Bobbin' for Turduckens!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Oldie, Shut up! Your pal, Strong Bad.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Howdy, boys. Either of you got a wicked mashed potato Jones?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Mashed Potato Jones. Now there's a fella I'd like to meet!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, we need to get rid of The Cheat's hiccups. You got any grody old man remedies?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Sure! You gotta feed and feed the hiccups until they mature into liver failure! And then...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're not trying to kill The Cheat! Don't ya have anything that could just scare him?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' I have this x-ray of my heart.

''{The King of Town holds up an x-ray showing a ham where his heart should be, labelled 'General Caveat Lower Eclusal'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not scary. That's... promising! Come on, The Cheat. Let's let the King die in peace.

''{The King of Town's mask spins into a sad face, like the character he's dressed up as}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yes. Let's.

''{Cut to Pom Pom and the Poopsmith who are holding a silent auction}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up, no-talkers? Keep on... no-talking.

''{This is only if you click on The Poopsmith's belt: Homsar pops out of the sign and stands upside down on the top of the border.}''
'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAa... I blew it, man! I lose my touch.
''{He runs around the border while The Poopsmith and Pom-Pom watch.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan standing with a guitar next to a stall of fruit.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this mess?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ready, everybody? A-one, and a-two, and a-here we go! ''{Marzipan sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is it! This is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen!

''{The Cheat hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Good job, The Cheat! Now try harmonizing with the butternut squashes! ''{sings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This might not get rid of the hiccups, but it's about to give me the throw-ups!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh yeah! Lay it on me, Mr. Corn!

''{Strong Bad makes vomiting noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears from behind a tree, on which is a sign reading 'back alley dealings'}'' Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys guys guys! You guys...errrr...need some witches' brew? I got some right here. Two jars. Cold, hot, fresh witches' brew! Only ten bucks a pop! Side effects include wine, women, and song. ''{He holds up two jars labelled 'brüe'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witches' brew, eh? All right, we'll take one jar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here you go.

''{The Cheat drinks it and hiccups}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap! He's still got 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That'll be ten bucks! Please drive around to the second window!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, okay... But, uhhh, can you pay us the ten bucks tomorrow?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, I'm good for it. I'll pay you the ten bucks right now!

(Homestar gives the money to Strong Bad)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat, I'll give you ten bucks if you stop hiccupping!

''{The Cheat tucks the cash into his costume and stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Hey, Homestar! I'll give you ten bucks if you stop breathing!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, you got a deal! ''{Homestar tries for a couple of seconds}'' Strong Bad... I couldn't do it... for very long...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd try again. Ten is a lot of bucks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right, a lot of ducks!

''{He keeps trying during the fade-out}''

This line also appears in [[Peasant's Quest]] if you try to make Rather Dashing eat or drink.

*When Bubs says "Humminama-What?",that is a reference to [[Under Construction]], where [[Stinkoman]] says something similar.

*In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.
*Without the green hair and red makeup, Strong Bad looks like the picture of Strong Bad with all white stuff on his face in the museum section of H*R website.
*The sign in the locka-room that reads "Don't go into the marsh!!!!" refers to a similar sign in the Monster Plantation ride at Six Flags Over Georgia.

*It's kind of strange that Strong Bad doesn't know what a haiku is, considering that he used one in [[japanese cartoon]]. The haiku he makes in this cartoon is his second.
*Strong Mad apparently has a thing for athletes. He dressed as Kobe in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], and has dressed as a professional sports player in two of the last three Halloween episodes (Refrigerator Perry, Ben Wallace), and wore a baseball cap with the Detroit Tigers' logo on it as Magnum, P.I.
*Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.
*In the beginning, when Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking and they suddenly walk into the darkness, it may be a refrence to an episode of the Nickelodeon cartoon ChalkZone where Rudy and Penny do the same thing: walk from night into day.
*When Homestar mentions the side effects of Witches' Br�e; this a reference to the video game "Jak 2" when Daxter gets drunk and starts singing.

*The King Of Town is dressed as The Mayor of Halloweentown, from the 1993 Tim Burton film [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0107688/ The Nightmare Before Christmas]. (As is the ability to turn his whole head around and turn it into a sad face.)
*The "is in" sign hanging from the bandstand for the Chorus of Autumnal Vegetable is a reference to [http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/meet_the_gang/meet_lucy.html Lucy Van Pelt's] psychiatric help booth from the Peanuts comic strips.
*When the orange sign first appears, it reads:
<pre>Halloween Festival
featuring:
Coach Z's Haunted
Lockerroom
Haunted Haikus
w/ Strong Sad
Bobbing for Apples

:However, when the sign appears again before zooming in on the Coach Z part, it reads:
<pre>Halloween Fairstival
featuring:
Coach Z's Haunted
Locka-Room
Haunted Haikus
w/ Strong Sad
Bobbing for Apples("apples" is crossed out)
AND SO MUCH MORE!!!</pre>
*The "locka-room" may be a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad]], wherein phrases such as "Unda-Wears" appear.
*Strong Bad's series of belching sounds may be a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], in specific the part in which the large wrestler lands upon little [[Cheerleader]], punctuated by several of Strong Bad's belching noises.
*Blue Star Ointment is a product used for ringworm and jock itch. It's frequently seen on the US version game show [[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]].
*At the end when you click on Homestar he says, "So I've got that going for me. Which is nice." This line is spoken by Carl Spackler, the groundskeeper in the film [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0080487/ Caddyshack], whom he is dressed as. This line also appears in [[Peasant's Quest]] if you try to make Rather Dashing eat or drink.
*"Grody old man remedies" may also refer to Peasant's Quest, in which the innkeeper has a closet full of "old man rub". Also, there is an "old lady rub" in [[Shopping for Danger]].

*At the end, when you click on Marzipan, Strong Bad says, "Hey Marzi ... I just can't wait for you to get on the road again ... and get hit by a school bus." This is a reference to the song "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson, whose costume Marzipan wears.
*When Strong Bad talks to the King of Town he does it in the style of a Strong Bad Email.
*Homsar is dressed as Kumar, a character in the Wes Anderson film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115734/ Bottle Rocket].
*"Strong Bad-as Cesar Romero-as The Joker" is a reference to [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], which had "The Golbin-as-Strong Bad-as the Bee." It is also a reference to the well-known Batman television show starring Adam West, and Cesar Romero as...The Joker!
*When Bubs says "Humminama-What?",that is a reference to [[Under Construction]], where [[Stinkoman]] says something similar.
*The candles next to Strong Sad when he does his Haikus are from the scene in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]
*As well, the orange candle appears in the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]] during the scene in which Strong Sad does tai-chi
*The sign at the auction where we see the Poopsmith and Pom Pom says "CREEPING silent DEATH auction" which could be reference to Metallica's "Creeping Death", which was a reference to one of the Plagues in The Bible.
*The "[[Wikipedia:Tommy John surgery|Tommy John Surgery]]" that Coach Z mentioned is a surgery performed (mainly on pitchers) to replace a torn elbow ligament with one from another part of the body.
*Strong Bad is actually wearing purple boxing gloves, which is something he complained about in [[New Boots]].
*In the haunted locka-room, there is a sign in the top-left corner that says, "WEAR FLIP FLOPS." This may be a reference to the in-joke "[[Wear a Bikini!|WEAR A BIKINI!]]" Or it may just be because it's good policy to wear flip flops in public showers.
*Without the green hair and red makeup, Strong Bad looks like the picture of Strong Bad with all white stuff on his face in the museum section of H*R website.
*The sign in the locka-room that reads "Don't go into the marsh!!!!" refers to a similar sign in the Monster Plantation ride at Six Flags Over Georgia.
*The reference to "my bad pennies" is, of couse, the name for the Joker's henchmen (high school dropouts) on the [http://www.clivebanks.co.uk/Batman/Jokergoestoschool.htm 60's television series]
*It's kind of strange that Strong Bad doesn't know what a haiku is, considering that he used one in [[japanese cartoon]]. The haiku he makes in this cartoon is his second.
*Strong Mad apparently has a thing for athletes. He dressed as Kobe in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], and has dressed as a professional sports player in two of the last three Halloween episodes (Refrigerator Perry, Ben Wallace), and wore a baseball cap with the Detroit Tigers' logo on it as Magnum, P.I.
*Strong Mad's laugh is different in this toon than from the last time we heard it in [[helium]]. The latter toon had Strong Mad with a deep laugh, while this one features him with a raspy laugh much closer to his speaking voice.
*In the beginning, when Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking and they suddenly walk into the darkness, it may be a refrence to an episode of the Nickelodeon cartoon ChalkZone where Rudy and Penny do the same thing: walk from night into day.
*When Homestar mentions the side effects of Witches' Br�e; this a reference to the video game "Jak 2" when Daxter gets drunk and starts singing.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chucks a few floppies off to one side}'' What is that stupid word? ''{starts hitting head against keyboard to punctuate his words, causing some of its keys to fly out}'' WHAT! IS! THAT! STUPID! WORD! WHY! WON'T YOU! TELL ME! MR! COMPUTER! MAN!

''{Strong Bad sticks his head back under The Paper}''

''{Cut to the Trodgor arcade cabinet screen, which has the menu selections. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad cuts in.}''

''{Cut to the computer desk, which has the old, taped-up Tandy 400 on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, old girl. Lookin' good ''{Strong Bad points out the window}'' Hey, what's what over there? ''{Strong Bad violently knocks the Tandy off the computer desk, and replaces it with the Compy 386}'' Now lay it on me, 386! ''{the 386 starts up}'' Oh, I love that little song.

''{The Paper comes down with the menu options. After about 30 seconds, the Tandy 400 and Bad Graphics Ghost appear from the top of the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' GAH! GET OUT OF HERE, PIXEL GHOST!

''{The Bad Graphics Ghost floats away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whew, that was a close one.

=== Disc Three FBI Warning ===
''{The same standard FBI text appears on the screen. Homestar walks on by the text}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just passing through!

=== Disc Three Intro ===
''{Open to a shot of the Compy 386 at an angle. The text on the screen reads "baleeted." A 2-liter of Mountain Dew is nearby, and slowly leaking all over the computer desk and two floppies reading "where's an egg" and "peasant's quest." Slowly pans to Homestar at the computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chucks a few floppies off to one side}'' What is that stupid word? ''{starts hitting head against keyboard to punctuate his words, causing some of its keys to fly out}'' WHAT! IS! THAT! STUPID! WORD! WHY! WON'T YOU! TELL ME! MR! COMPUTER! MAN!

''{As he pounds his head on the keyboard, the text "whateeted," "is leted," "thateeted," "OUCH!," "my teeth!," and "my butt!!" appears on the screen. The Compy 386 then displays its Flagrant Error screen. The camera has now panned to the door. Strong Bad walks in and views this spectacle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What in frig's crap?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh

'''STRONG BAD:''' How do you keep getting in here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno... picked the lock?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhh, touch�

''{The Paper comes down with the menu options. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad peeks under The Paper}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, what the crap are they doing out there?

''{Homestar peeks under the paper as well}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't see anybody. Maybe they're fixing a sandwich.

''{Homestar sticks his head back under The Paper}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{shouting}'' Hey, bring us some Cold Ones when you get back in here!

''{Strong Bad sticks his head back under The Paper}''

=== Bonus Menu ===
''{Cut to the living room, where The Cheat is hanging out in the crisper drawer and Strong Mad is watching TV. The Cheat makes some The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' Did you just say bonus stuff?

''{Cut to the Trodgor arcade cabinet screen, which has the menu selections. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad cuts in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, choosy! Time's up! I'm playing Trogdor! ''{starts up a Trogdor game}'' Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishin'! ''{Trogdor gets killed}'' Oh man. ''{The game over screen shows}'' What?! What's wrong with this stupid game?

''{Strong Bad hits the cabinet, returning the screen to its original state}''

Steven WV</pre>

''{Strong Bad says Wolksvagen instead of WV}''

''{Strong Bad presses a key, and the email appears again}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbling reading sounds}'' Oh. Oh-ho! Sorry.

''{Strong Bad presses a key, and starts the reply again}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Make the town different, eh, Steven? ''{breaks into song}'' Weeeeeeelllllll.....

''{cut to The Poopsmith shoveling poop}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' The Poopsmith, he could talk

'''THE POOPSMITH''': ''{singing}'' Hello!

''{screen slides to reveal the right, where Marzipan is dressed in heavy metal garb, holding a guitar decorated with a skeleton pattern, in front of a wall of amplifiers marked 'Marzipan'}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Marzipan would rock,

''{Marzipan wails on her guitar}''

''{Cut to the stick}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And The Stick would be this big old tree that'd try to eat everyone except The Cheat and me --

'' {Stick turns into a big tree with a scary mouth.}''

''{a polaroid picture of the tree with Strong Bad (still singing) and The Cheat hanging out with it. Strong Mad appears from behind the left border of the photo and says...}''

'''STRONG MAD''': AND ME!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' We'll see.. ''{Strong Mad looks shocked}'' And The King of Town would be underground in a box filled up with peas...

''{pan down to reveal a large crate label 'A MILLION PEAS' buried under ground. A cut-out from the crate is taken away to reveal The King Of Town inside surrounded with peas}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': I hate peas!

''{Strong Bad appears in the lower right and says...}''

'''STRONG BAD''': I know!

''{cut to Bub's Concession Stand surrounded by flamethrowers and a sign that says 'Please. Take SEVERAL'.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' Bubs would give away flame throwers that shoot chocolate hundred dollar bills...

'''BUBS''': Imitation chocolate!

''{pan right to reveal Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And my stupid baby brother would have been born with horns and a tail...

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{sadly}'' I'm Evil.

''{pan right to reveal the sports field with Coach Z standing there wearing an orange jacket}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Coach Z would wear this cool jacket

''{Coach Z turns to reveal the back of his jacket which says 'Totally Style' and has a picture of a big thumbs up}''

'''COACH Z''': Check it out, yo!

''{pan right to reveal more of the sports field with Homestar Runner standing there}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Homestar just couldn't hack it!

''{Homestar Runner rips the star off the front of his shirt and throws it to the ground, angrily.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I quit!

''{what looks like a collectors card floats into the left of the screen with a picture of Pom Pom making a basket}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' And Pom Pom wouldn't change at all 'cept he'd look like an ABA basketball...

''{total blackout, fade in close up of Strong Bad's mouth. Zoom out to reveal Strong Bad wearing an undone blue shirt, kind of like Michael Bolton}''

'''STRONG BAD''':''{Close up on Strong Bad's foot tapping.}'' two three four ''{singing}'' and this little weirdo

''{a spotlight turns on to reveal Homsar}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' would be a modestly hot girl...

''{Homsar silhouettes and transmogrifies into a silhouette of Modestly Hot Homsar}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' ...to help me through the hard times... you know the kind that are only sorta hot so that they don't mess around with other guys!

''{Modestly Hot Homsar un-silhouettes and is wearing a blue one-piece swimsuit with the word 'homsar' on it. She is wearing Homsar's yellow bowler hat and has brown hair and pink lipstick.}''

'''MODESTLY HOT HOMSAR''': DaAaAa, I'm forever your girl!

''{Crowd cheers}''

''{Cut to the Computer Room where Strong Bad is standing on his stool}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Thank you! Thank you! Alright! This next one is the fourteenth song on my forty-second album. It's called--

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing to the right of the computer desk dressed in a light blue tunic wearing horns and a tail}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Hey Strong Bad--

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{off screen}'' WHOA! Can it be true?

''{Cut to group shot with Strong Bad and Strong Sad standing to the right of the computer. Strong Bad is still standing on his stool.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Did Homestar Runner call it quits? The King of Town, pea-buried alive?! The Poopsmith speaketh?

'''STRONG SAD''': Noo... Calm down, spazz. I'm going to the Clash of the Titans Con, dressed up as Calibos, remember? I was just gonna ask if you still wanted that bust of Bubo?

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh, um. Right. Of course. ''{coughs} {speaking quietly}'' yeah I still want that bust of Bubo.

'''STRONG SAD''': Ok, bye weirdo. What are you standing on that stool for anyway?

'''STRONG BAD''': For your information, I was ''{pause}'' checking on the lights, Strong Sad. We got that recessed lighting, y'know. Yup, everything looks great.

''{cut back to the computer where Strong Bad continues his reply}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, things would be different alright. Though I'm a little disappointed in what I came up with for Homsar. Modestly hot my eye! I think my imagination's broke. ''{stops typing}'' Lemme try and think up the ''{types again}'' Best Thing Ever. Umm... Beef... stew... Yup it's busted alright. I'm gonna go... place. ''{gets up from stool}''

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*The words "eh, Steven?" can be clicked (only the first time SB types them) to show a [[Lem Sportsinterviews]] drawing of Eh! Steve in formal wear.
*Clicking on "place" at the end brings up a [[Place]] postcard featuring [[Monkey D]]. It reads: "Greetings from PLACE" (Clicking it again closes it.)
*Click on the right side of "back" at the end to download the song.

== Fun Facts ==
*The music for "Different Town" was written and performed by [[They Might Be Giants]] especially for HomestarRunner.com.
*Coach Z says "Check it out, yo!" This is a reference to the [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

*The "[[Wikipedia:American Basketball Association|ABA]] Basketball" is indeed red, white and blue instead of the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] orange. In the toon [[Isle of Pom]], a basketball colored Pom can be seen.

*The guitar Marzipan is playing is "Mr. Scary," the axe [[Wikipedia:George Lynch|George Lynch]] used during his years with the '80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]].

*Homsar says "I'm forever your girl" which is probably quoted from that great 80's classic "Forever Your Girl" by Paula Abdul.

*Wolksvagen is a [[Wikipedia:Word play|play on words]] of the [[Wikipedia:German|German]] [[Wikipedia:automobile|automobile]] manufacturer: [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen|Volkswagen]].

*The floppy disk in the case says "BAAL", which is a [[Wikipedia:Platform game|platform-style game]] published by [[Wikipedia:Psygnosis|Psygnosis]] in 1989, and [[Wikipedia:Baal|Baal]] is also the name of a god/demon.

*The board behind Homestar says "[[CGNU]] "and "DeBry," which is a reference to [http://www.devry.edu/ "DeVry University"].

*Strong Bad saying that beef stew is the best thing ever may be a reference to [http://maddox.xmission.com The Best Page In The Universe] where Maddox claims that the best thing ever is Beef Jerky.

* "''This next one is the fourteenth song on my forty-second album. It's called--''" is an apparent reference to the Cheap Trick album '''Live At Budokhan''', on which lead singer Robin Zander introduces "Surrender" by saying "''This next song is the first song on our new album. It just came out this week, and the song is called Surrender!''"

* "Bubo" was the name of the clockwork owl in the film "Clash of the Titans."

*Although Strong Bad's imagination is by no means part of continuity, this is the first and so far only time that The Poopsmith speaks (if you ignore the hiss in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].)

*After [[your friends]], this is the second (and so far last) e-mail to feature all twelve main characters (though Pom-Pom, like The Poopsmith in your friends, only appears on a playing card.)

*This is the first time we see Strong Bad with a shirt on.
