Week 37, 2011
Telltale Games is a video game company that has partnered with Videlectrix to produce Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, a game in five episodes, or 'actionsodes' in Strong Bad's term, for PC and WiiWare. According to Strong Bad, "Telltale has been rejecting my ideas for green text adventures for years, but we finally reached a compromise with this puffy 3D point-and-click-em-up adventure. They claim all the coding was done with green text, so I guess that's pretty cool." (more...)
Week 36, 2011
Duck Guardian One is a Videlectrix game released on August 30, 2004. The plot is to save ducks from various hazards and lead them into a spaceship in order to transport them to the hungry people of Vexar VII. You do this by using a variety of rays on the ducks. Some rays in Duck Guardian One include the Direct Ray (turn the ducks around) and the Freeze Ray (freezes ducks in place). There are 33 waves of ducks to rescue, enemies to avoid, and hazards to overcome. "Save a Duck, Save THE WORLD!!" play (more...)
(Week 35, 2011)*
TROGDOR! is a game released by Videlectrix on March 17, 2003, based on the character of Trogdor from the Strong Bad Email dragon. When it was first released, the game was accompanied by the short Arcade Game. This game is notably one of the most popular games on homestarrunner.com. Playing as Trogdor, the player must squish peasants to achieve burnination, at which point Trogdor can burninate cottages. Burninate all the cottages, and the player moves on to the next level. Meanwhile, for a challenge, knights patrol the area and archers will appear from time to time and shoot arrows. If Trogdor touches a knight, he will be SWORDED!; if he is hit by an arrow, he'll be ARROWED! (More...)
Week 34, 2011
Strong Badia the Free is the second episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People. The King of Town becomes tyrannical and institutes an email tax. For not paying said tax, Strong Bad is placed under house arrest with an exploding collar strapped around his neck. After Strong Bad escapes, he announces that Strong Badia will secede from Free Country USA, and attempts to rally his fellow citizens into joining him. However, everyone goes off to form their own countries instead, and Strong Bad must now unite the fractured nations under one banner (namely, his) in order to complete his mission to overthrow The King of Town's "fat-thority". (more...)
(Week 33, 2011)*
1-Up is Homestar Runner's 20X6 counterpart. Everybody says Stinkoman's the guy, but 1-Up wants to be the guy too. Stinkoman wouldn't let him because he was just a kid, and maybe he will let him when 1-Up gets older. However, in the description for Level 5 in Stinkoman 20X6, it says that 1-Up proved he's not just a kid in the previous level. Stinkoman has yet to acknowledge this. He is often squished by Pan Pan, usually to Stinkoman's great delight. His most notable accomplishment outside of Stinkoman 20X6 is that he found Homestar's "time box" in time capsule. (more...)

The word "crap" is a prominent part of the Homestar Runner universe. The word itself is often used as a substitute for vulgarity, and it often describes things that Strong Bad and other characters find stupid or offensive. In addition, Strong Bad has become infamous for the phrase "Holy crap!", an exclamation he frequently used early in his evolution, but not so much today. In fact, Strong Bad currently voices his displeasure openly whenever he receives an email signed with the word "crap". (More...)
Week 29, 2011
In the 177th Strong Bad Email, original, when asked about TV shows replacing actors, Strong Bad explained the supposed existence of the original actor to play Bubs, who was aptly named Original Bubs. This actor has great eyesight; he can see you from behind the concession stand. Due to an unfortunate incident involving one of the twelve King of Towns eating all the mayonnaise off of Original Bubs's egg salad, Original Bubs suddenly left the show. Then the rest of the cast had to write in clever ways to include him, so that viewers didn't know he was gone, such as Homestar remarking that Original Bubs is behind a box. This was followed by having rotating guests come in to play Bubs, such as Senator Cardgage Bubs, Crack Stuntbubs, and fan favorite Onion Bubs. Finally they settled on the current Bubs, who had zero experience and was not well known at the time, and it had been downhill ever since. Then Bubs shows up and makes Strong Bad come clean. After he does, Strong Bad claims that he didn't make the whole idea up; that in fact the New Paper, whose debut was just four emails earlier, was a replacement of a character who had quit. He also remarked that the New Paper was quite disappointing thus far. watch (more...)
(Week 28, 2011)*
Senor Cardgage first appeared in the Strong Bad Email kind of cool, in which Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff. He describes "Creepy Comb-Over Story Strong Bad" who is just like Senor Cardgage. Both are, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that they are] cool". Senor Cardgage is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from The Brothers Strong when they were little, whose extreme sketchiness gave Strong Sad nightmares. He now runs his own mortgage business as well as a used car dealership, in addition to having a job as an usher. He has also gotten fourteen degrees in the CGNU Online E-niversity during his lunch "take", including one that lets him "legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica". His name is pronounced "Seh-nor", not "Seh-nyor", because his name is spelled with an "N" rather than an "Ñ". He is apparently ambidextrous. (more...)
Week 27, 2011
In crazy cartoon, the 72nd Strong Bad Email, monkeydude asks Strong Bad to make a crazy cartoon. Strong Bad thus creates the world of Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, the 21st Strong Bad Email Spin-off. As Strong Bad explains, every crazy cartoon needs a title that has nothing to do with what the cartoon is about. This one will feature a main character that looks like a mix between a cow and a helicopter. Every episode will be about him trying to get a worm out of the ground. Also, at least once an episode, Eh! Steve! will make an appearance to deliver his catchphrase, and Bubs would be the voice of The Wheelchair who spends his time trying to catch or defeat Eh! Steve!. Strong Bad would be in the cartoon too, but his head would be replaced by an old keyboard that plays the demo when he gets mad. Later on, Strong Bad mentions The Cheat makes some crazy cartoons, so he goes to watch The Cheat's first crazy cartoon. watch (more...)
