:'''RON DARDMAN:''' ''{rewind sound is heard, then Ron starts speaking}'' Hello there, Marzipan. My name is Ron...D-Dardman, from your credit card company. We're just calling to confirm a $500 charge for one of them race car beds. What made us suspicious is when it was signed for,  in lieu of an actual signature, someone drew some kind of little underbite man with a beanie cap on. So if you could just give us a call back and confirm this is a valid charge, we'll be all... fine.

===Remarks===
+
*"YOUR PHONE A SPLODE" is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]] from the [[video games]] email, in which a 3-D vector version of Strong Bad's head proclaims, "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE."
-
*Marzipan's keys are identical (though they are different colors).
+
**It also harkens back to [[personal favorites]] when Strong Bad left Marzipan a prank call and her answering machine exploded.
-
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], Strong Sad hopes Marzipan will arrive and pick up the phone while he is speaking. Here, Marzipan does arrive while he is speaking, but doesn't pick up the phone.
+
*The V.I. Warshawski that Strong Sad mentions may be referring to the protagonist of books by detective fiction author [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Paretsky Sara Paretsky]. The novels were made into a film that was released in 1991, entitled [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103184/ ''V.I. Warshawski''].
-
 
+
*When [[Ron Dardman]] calls about the charge on Marzipan's Credit Card, he says, "...in lieu of an actual signature, someone drew some kind of a little underbite man with a beanie cap on...."  He's describing Homestar, who allegedly bought the Race Car bed!
-
===Inside References===
+

-
*Marzipan's outgoing message asks, "Is a [[penguin]] a [[bird]] or a [[duck]]?"
+
**Homestar does know how to sign his own name. He did it on the old [[Yearbook Character Page]].
-

+
*Homestar saying that the prank call was the second best 500 dollars he ever spent is a possible refrence to [[theme park]], where he says that the river tour was the worst 3000 dollars he ever spent.
-
*"YOUR PHONE A SPLODE" is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]] from the [[video games]] email, in which a 3D vector version of Strong Bad's head proclaims, "YOUR HEAD [[A SPLODE]]."
+
**If this is true, Homestar's seriously rich for someone his age.
-
**It also harkens back to [[personal favorites]] when Strong Bad left Marzipan a prank call and her [[answering machine]] exploded.
+
-
*Both Strong Bad and Strong Sad mention Strong Sad being a [[Waste of X|waste of space/fat space]].
+
-
 
+
-
===Real-World References===
+
-
*Strong Sad refers to {{w|V.I. Warshawski (film)|''V.I. Warshawski''}}, a 1991 action-comedy film about private investigator Victoria Iphigenia "V.I." Warshawski.
+
-

+
-
**Listing "[[interactive menus]]" among the bonus features was common in the early days of DVDs, though this feature quickly became so commonplace that mainstream video releases stopped advertising it. However, for many years lower-quality DVDs would continue to list "interactive menus" among their bonus features to pad out an unimpressive list of featurettes.  
+
-
**The [https://www.dvd-covers.org/art/DVD_Covers/Movie_DVD_Scanned_Covers/1322V_I_Warshawski.jpg.html 2002 DVD release of ''V.I. Warshawski''] did not include any special features. Of all the elements Strong Sad mentions, only "widescreen" and "running time" were listed on the back of the DVD box.
+
-
*Homestar's purchase of a $500 race car bed is a reference to the ''{{w|Friends}}'' episode {{w|Friends (season 3)|"The One With the Race Car Bed"}}, where Monica accidentally buys a race car bed for said amount.
+
-
*Homestar says "I'm [[Batman]]."
+
-
 
+
-
===Fast Forward===
+
-
*Interactive menus are also referenced in [[HomestarRunner.com: PAY PLUS!]] and the back covers of [[Everything Else, Volume 1]] and [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]].
+
-

+
-
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]], Strong Bad actually ''would'' choose to end a prank call in a song.
+
-
*The video release of ''V. I. Warshawski'' was later mentioned again in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2]].
