== Lyrics ==<br />
''{Children talking}'' <br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking}'' Okay, settle down, class. Settle down, uh, we gotta get this right, or nobody gets any chocolate milk, for the rest of th&mdash; of the term. I will be accompanied by Mr. Cheaterson on the piano, so would everyone please rise for the presentation of our national colors.<br />
<br />
''{piano plays}''<br />
<br />
''{whispered}'' Shh! Hey, you zip it! Jerome! Jerome! Show some respect! Spit that gum out! Shut up! I'm gonna freakin' hit&mdash;<br />
''{piano becomes more up-tempo}''<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah! Oh, I like that!<br />
<br />
'''KIDS AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}''<br><br />
Come to the place where tropical breezes blow.<br><br />
Come to the coolest place I know.<br />
<br />
'''ONE KID:'''<br><br />
The pe-<br><br />
'''STRONG BAD:'''<br><br />
The people are so great,<br><br />
But really there's only me,<br><br />
And that means I'm so great,<br><br />
And also there's the Cheat.<br />
<br />
'''KIDS AND STRONG BAD:'''<br><br />
Oh there's the Cheat<br><br />
In the place where the tropical breezes blow<br><br />
The Cheat in the coolest place I know<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:'''<br><br />
And the ones are always cold,<br><br />
And the parties last all night,<br><br />
And there's probably lots of chocolate,<br><br />
And Population: Tire<br />
<br />
'''KIDS AND STRONG BAD:'''<br><br />
Population... tiiiire.<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking}'' That was pretty good. I'll tell you what: you guys can get low fat, sugar free, chocolate skim milk from now on.<br />
<br />
'''KIDS:''' Aww, man! I wanted milk!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go... go back to class.<br />

== Fun Facts ==<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*The "children" at the beginning sound like the [[The Brothers Chaps]]' normal speaking voices. Then during and after the song, they sound like small children.<br />
*At the end you can hear a small bit of [[Wikipedia:Laugh track|canned laughter]].<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*The name "[[Unseen Characters#Jerome|Jerome]]" is in reference to [[anything]], where Homestar fills in and acts as if he's teaching a class. He refers to the person who sent the email as "Jerome".<br />
*This is another instance of [[Names ending in -erson]].<br />
<br />
== Fast Forward ==<br />
*Strong Bad would partially sing the anthem as his and Homestar Runner's makeshift submarine sinks into the water in [[Date Nite]].<br />

== Transcript ==<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tandy email"> Dear Mr Bad,<br /><br />
How do you know if someone's butt is stupid?<br /><br />
I mean, is there like some kind of IQ test?<br /><br />
Crapfully yours,<br /><br />
Tyler</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the ''{typing}'' Transitive Butt Property. ''{stops typing}'' And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head. <br />
<br />
''{He types "stupid (butt) &ge; stupid (head)," then clears the screen to bring up Bad Graphics Homestar.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance. ''{laughing}'' Look at his stupid head! ''{labels Homestar's head "stupid (head)"}'' Look at how stupid his head is. ''{stops laughing}'' Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that ''easily'' his butt is going to be at least as stupid ''{labels Homestar's butt as "stupid (butt)"}'' if not stupider. ''{relabels butt as "stupid/stupider (butt)"}'' So there you have it. Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.<br />
<br />
''{[[The Paper]] comes down}''<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to have capital letters in the title.<br />
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to mention Homestar.<br />
*This is the first instance of Strong Bad receiving an email signed "[[Crapfully Yours]]".<br />
*The paper at the end is shorter in length than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of [[Homestar Runner]]).<br />
*This is the first sbemail to show something on Strong Bad's computer other than text.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*Normally, [[Wikipedia:Transitive relation|transitivity principles]] are used to infer a relation between two variables based on their relations to a third variable. For example, transitivity of "is greater than or equal to" implies that if <math>a\geq b</math> and <math>b\geq c</math>, then <math>a\geq c</math>.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*For a split second when Strong Bad's text is cleared and [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|Bad Graphics Homestar Runner]] appears, the text appears outside of the computer screen.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*The email appears to have been inspired by the song [[You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt|"You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt"]] from [[Strong Bad Sings]] (which later made its way to the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]).<br />

==Fun Facts==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The April 21st, 2008 song had been on the site for 14 months and 7 days, the longest period of time for any scroll button song. It has since been eclipsed by the current run with the Comp&eacute;, though most of that time has been during a site-wide hiatus.<br />
*The "scrolla but-ton-&eacute;s" in the August 31st, 2009 song is a callback to a much older "song", where that is all that Strong Bad said.<br />
<br />
===Remarks===<br />
*The August 13th, 2007 song is the only one to include instrumental music, and the button to whatever is playing the music can be heard being pressed at about the time Strong Bad hits enter on his computer.<br />
*The April 20th, 2004 song references the addition of a draggable scroll bar with the line "Hold it, control it".<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*The September 12, 2005 song refers to [[Random Toon|random.bat]] which was released simultaneously with the rap.<br />
*The June 6, 2005 song is one of [[Marzipan|Marzipan's]] attempts at a scroll button song in [[replacement]], which, interestingly enough, Strong Bad ridiculed as "the worst song [he] ever heard." [[The Brothers Chaps]] decided to use this as a scroll button song while they were [[replacement#Commentary_Transcript|recording the commentary]] for that email.<br />
*The rap duet between [[Coach Z]] and Strong Bad may be a reference to [[new hands]], in which Coach Z first performs "[[These peoples try to fade me]]."<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
*In the November 8, 2004 rap, Strong Bad refers to [[Wikipedia:Norman Rockwell|Norman Rockwell]], an early-20th-century painter.<br />

This cartoon is pretty old. It was the first&nbsp;&nbsp;cartoon<br><br />
we ever made. Homestar is not very funny and<br><br />
neither is Strong Bad. They are mere shadows of<br><br />
the men they have become. This cartoon has not<br><br />

several requests<!--No space in the text-->(from our Dad) to put it back. So <br><br />
here it is. Consider yourselves warned.</blockquote><br />

''{A light shines on each one as his name is called.}''<br />
<br />
''{The cheering crowd is shown, which consists of Mr. Bland, Señor, Marzipan, Bubs, Coach Z, The King of Town, The Poopsmith, The Robot, Strong Sad, and other various people. Señor is wearing a giant styrofoam hand; Mr. Bland is holding a sign that says "Wrestling Mania!!!"; and The Poopsmith is holding a sign that says "I'm #2". The bell rings and Homestar takes down Strong Bad with a flying kick to the head. Strong Bad gets up, but Homestar knocks him to the ground with the same kick, and then body slams him. Strong Bad, who is dizzy from said kick as stars spin around his head, tags in Strong Mad, who enters the ring.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh!<br />
<br />
''{Strong Mad grabs Homestar by the legs and proceeds to slam him on the ground. He tosses Homestar out of the ring. Pom Pom gets angry and vaults over the top rope into the ring, but lands on Strong Mad's fist. Strong Mad beats him against the boxing ring floor repeatedly, and Pom Pom falls over. Strong Mad climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets ready to deliver the finishing move.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom, look out!<br />
<br />
'''POM POM:''' ''{winks at Homestar}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Huh?<br />
<br />
''{Strong Mad jumps off the turnbuckle and splashes onto Pom Pom, but is bounced into space. Strong Bad and Homestar re-enter the ring and Homestar bounces off of the ropes into Strong Bad, taking him out by smashing his head into Strong Bad's face. Strong Bad gets up. Cut to a close up of Homestar's face while music from ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' starts playing with dark bars appearing up to his eyes. A close-up of Strong Bad with the same music and effect follows. He attempts a windmill punch, but Homestar kicks his stomach and tosses him out of the ring. Strong Bad grabs a lit bomb from under the ring while mumbling incoherently. He gets back into the ring and shoves the bomb down Homestar's throat and punches Homestar's belly.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar's stomach gurgles}'' Ooh, I ate too many marshmallows... ''{His face turns green and he pukes the bomb and some marshmallow-y goo onto Strong Bad's head, where it sticks.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{running around frantically}'' AUGH! Getitoffme getitoffme getitoffme!<br />
<br />
''{The bomb explodes. When the dust clears, Homestar is standing atop of Strong Bad. Strong Bad has a chunk missing from his head.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{Numbers appear as the announcer says them.}'' One! Two! Three! ''{The crowd cheers. Strong Mad falls back into the ring.}'' Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, Homestar Runner and Pom Pom!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a black-and-white picture of Homestar Runner and Pom Pom, labeled "Winners"}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now how about my star back, Strong Bad?<br />
<br />
''{Frustrated, Strong Bad tears up Homestar's star while muttering something inaudible, and Strong Mad nods. An angered Homestar then kicks Strong Bad, and a cartoon explosion with "BUH-LAM!!" written on it covers the screen. After it clears, Strong Bad is seen lying on the ground with stars of confusion floating around his head. Homestar kicks one of the stars to himself so he can grab it.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Voice echoing}'' Homestar....RUN!<br />
<br />
''{He jumps up and the star of pain becomes a star on his shirt, and theme music plays}''<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
===Explanations===<br />
*According to [[l33t Interview|a 2001 interview with Stephan of WTFiml33t.com]], the reason this toon was taken off the site was quote: "The characters are completely different. Saying and doing things they'd never do now." However, in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|a later interview]], it is mentioned that The Brothers Chaps "can't disclose why [Marshmallow's Last Stand and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]] are off, it's a personal reason."<br />
*The Poopsmith's sign reads "I'm #2." #2 is also a slang term for [[whatsit]].<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The [[Hanging Objects#From Marshmallow's Last Stand|framed sign]] behind Homestar Runner changes repeatedly in the restaurant. The order which they are shown in is:<br />
**Nice to Meat You (picture of a [[steak]])<br />
**Lettuce Pray (picture of lettuce)<br />
**Get Toasted (picture of [[Bread|toast]] with [[butter]])<br />
**Say Cheese (picture of cheese)<br />
**Get Toasted (picture of toast)<br />
**Eggs-Treme (picture of fried [[eggs]])<br />
**Pie-Fect!! (picture of a slice of [[pie]])<br />
**Say Cheese (picture of a slice of cheese)<br />
**Lettuce Pray (picture of a head of lettuce)<br />
**Nice to Meat You (picture of a steak)<br />
*According to [[Pom Pom#Character Video Transcript|Pom Pom's character video]], he weighs 4 pounds. Combining this fact with Pom Pom and Homestar's combined weight according to this toon, Homestar weighs 100 pounds.<br />
*Similarly, Strong Mad's [[HR:smsticker.html|sticker page]] places him at 900 pounds. Again, with Strong Bad and Strong Mad's weight, this places Strong Bad at 999,100 pounds.<br />
*According to a now non-existent comment in the Homestar Runner Museum, this was the first Homestar Runner cartoon to use voice acting. Each character's voice has developed since then.<br />
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] parody [[Wikipedia:Luchador|lucha libre]]-style wrestling with Strong Bad's south-of-the-border accent and wrestling mask.<br />
*In this toon, Homestar Runner has a hint of a southern accent. This is likely because The Brothers Chaps are from Georgia.<br />
*This cartoon was co-written and co-directed by [[Chad Eikhoff]].<br />
*In this cartoon, Strong Mad has visible chest hair on several occasions.<br />
*Homestar Runner has stars on the treads of his sneaker soles.<br />
*This is the first toon in which The Poopsmith, The King of Town, and Marzipan appear.<br />
*Although Strong Sad appears in the toon, he isn't referred to as one of [[The Brothers Strong]]. This might be because Strong Sad was disowned by Strong Bad and Strong Mad, according to an old Characters page that was drawn in the same style as this toon.<br />
*This toon has a [[URLs With the Number 2 In Them|URL with the number 2 in it]].<br />
*[[Homestar]] tells [[Pom Pom]] the Marshmallows are great but he hasn't even tried them yet.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*The Announcer begins speaking before the microphone is lowered to him, and once the microphone is lowered his voice isn't any louder.<br />
*Although Homestar's star has five points, Strong Bad appears to tear the star into four triangular pieces.<br />
*Strong Bad's pants turn blue when Homestar wrestles Strong Mad. When Strong Bad steps back in the ring, they are black again.<br />
**His pants are also blue near the end of the toon, after the Brothers Strong lose and are standing at the side of the ring while the Announcer is announcing Homestar and Pom Pom as the winners.<br />
*When the Brothers Strong first jump into the ring, Strong Mad looks unusually short.<br />
*When Homestar says, "Hey! Give me back my star," his voice sounds a little cut off at the beginning.<br />
*Almost all of the sound effects can be heard slightly before the actions causing them are seen.<br />
*After Strong Bad's face explodes from the bomb, the marshmallow on his face changes with every shot. The last time he is shown, he has no marshmallow on his face at all.<br />
*When Homestar jumps up to grab the gold star and says "Homestar....RUN!", Strong Bad doesn't scroll down with the rest of the floor while he is lying down.<br />
*When Strong Bad grabs the bomb from under the ring, you can notice on the left of Strong Bad's hands, the blue is overlapping his face, and to the right of his hands, his hand's outline extends into the blue.<br />
*Starting at the Arena, the toon is poorly voice synched, getting worse near the end.<br />
*Sometimes, when the ring is zoomed out far enough, you can see in the top left corner where the graphics for the audience end before the frame.<br />
*When Homestar says "Homestar...RUN!" his mouth doesn't move.<br />
*The final screen is in two slightly, but noticeably, different shades of orange.<br />
*Homestar's star is off-line; you can still see some parts where it isn't red.<br />
*When the Brothers Strong enter the stand, their silhouettes show them facing the viewer, not Homestar and Pom Pom.<br />
*At the very end, Homestar's new star is not in the same place as the old one. (You can see that a bit of the shadow is still on there after he gets his new star.)<br />
*When Strong Bad and Strong Mad tag each other, their hands go through each other.<br />
<br />
===Real-World References===<br />
* Strong Bad's "You better believe it, man!" sounds almost identical to the same phrase uttered by Jesus Quintana (played by [[Wikipedia:John Turturro|John Turturro]]) in the movie ''[[The Big Lebowski]]''.<br />
* The rainbow-colored warning is most likely a reference to an old FBI warning used by [[Wikipedia:Paramount Pictures|Paramount Pictures]]. It is also used in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]].<br />
* "The War for the Star" is a parody of boxing matches with rhyming titles (e.g. ''[[Wikipedia:Rumble in the Jungle|Rumble in the Jungle]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Thrilla in Manila|The Thrilla in Manila]]'').<br />
* The Announcer says Strong Bad hails from Parts Unknown. Having more exotic characters coming from "[[Wikipedia:List_of_professional_wrestling_slang#P|Parts Unknown]]" has been used in wrestling for decades.<br />
* Mr. Bland is holding a sign that says "Wrestling Mania." This is quite likely a reference to the annual [[Wikipedia:Wwe|WWE]] [[Wikipedia:WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] event.<br />
* The music played when Homestar and Strong Bad are staring each other down comes from the movie ''[[imdb:tt0060196|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]''.<br />
* The largely ineffective "windmill punch" Strong Bad tries to use on Homestar has actually been used in real life to similar comedic effect, during one of the wrestling matches comedian [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]] staged with professional wrestler [[Wikipedia:Jerry Lawler|Jerry "The King" Lawler]]. The sound effect used during the toon was taken from the PC game [[Wikipedia:SimCopter|Sim Copter]].<br />
<br />
=== Fast Forward ===<br />
*The [[Sound Effects|sound]] played when Strong Mad flies into space later becomes associated with [[Nebulon]], and is usually heard when he enters or leaves a scene, for example, in the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoon, [[New Boots]].<br />
*The sound played when Homestar is being slammed about by Strong Mad is the same sound used in the game [[Bronco Trolleys]], and also when [[Eh! Steve!]] jumps off-screen.<br />
*The music played at the end is also used in [[Old Intro 2]]. It is also heard remixed in [[flashback]] after Strong Bad wins his very own The Cheat.<br />
*This type of art, animation and comedy was parodied in the emails [[personal favorites]] and [[lady...ing]].<br />
*The [[font]] used for the 1, 2, 3 count that appears when Homestar pins Strong Bad to the ground is the same as the [[Tandy 400]] font (which is Westminster).<br />
*Homestar's comment on having eaten too many marshmallows mirrors a similar lamentation on drinking too many melonades in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].<br />
*Two of the scenes from this toon were exaggerated in [[Exaggerations]].<br />
<br />
== DVD Version ==<br />
*The poor synching of the dialogue and the sound effects appears to have been fixed &mdash; until the part where Strong Bad forces a bomb into Homestar's stomach, after which the synching is much worse than on the website.<br />
**Strangely enough, the synching appears to be completely fixed during the commentary.<br />
*The music from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is replaced with custom music sung by the Brothers Chaps probably due to copyright reasons; however, the original soundtrack can be heard during the commentary.<br />
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.<br />
*The "warning" at the beginning is shown automatically and is shown in a different font than on the website.<br />

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, not a whole lot, Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Well, you know, I got a question for you.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' What?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Why do you not have a hat in this cartoon?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Look, it was a, a sordid affair. Mike.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Cuz there was another cartoon called "Where My Hat Is At?" where you found your hat...<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Right...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' And then...<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Where do you think it was when I went home from this wrestling match?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Was it back in the fridge&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Between the milk and the ''pickles'', this time.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' I didn't have no more Cold Ones.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{during the Brothers Strong entrance music}'' Listen to those&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' That was loud.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' &mdash;abrasive riffs on the guitar.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Um... I look great. In this cartoon.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you look great, you act great&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You seem real great.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' I wish that old marshmallow place got that old wallpaper they had back. I like that stuff.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' The green stripes?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' And the crazy changing... changing gag framed picture behind me.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad's head looks like it's got an orange, uh, stripe on the right side there, instead of a shadow like it should.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah. See, he doesn't look so good, but I look great. ''{In the cartoon, Strong Bad takes Homestar's star}'' Hey! I didn't even know that thing was removable. I thought you could see my portions when you&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So your star's not&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' &mdash;tore the star off.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Your portions? ''{slight laugh}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Lots of silence, Homestar.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah... We didn't, we didn't think music was the way to go back in these days.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Um, the arena. Where'd that go&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Well, they tore it down&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, is that what happened?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, they imploded that, uh...<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' That's too bad. What'd they build on top of it, Bubs' Concession Stand?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's where Bubs' Concession Stand is now.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh... Where did all these people?&mdash; ''{laughing}''<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' They all... The duck person...<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Were they inside?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Don King, you can see Don King there... They were all in&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' When they imploded it?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' That's terrible!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Well, they chose to. Y'know, like those people who chain themselves to trees and&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Ohh...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' &mdash;in the forest.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Right, right. So they're protesting work.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Right. Now&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' They got killed.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Look, that's the "Taking Care of Business" logo on that microphone.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Ah...<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Sort of.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' TCB?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' TC and B. ''{in the cartoon, the Announcer introduces Homestar and Pom Pom}'' This is just like our old wrestling days, with the big entrance, Mike?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Look, the bell's got a face. Is that&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' That poor&mdash; that guy's dead too. That... what?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' The bell man?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah. ''{In the cartoon, Homestar attacks Strong Bad}'' ''Waaah!'' I can't do that as good as I used to...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You dropped a big leg. You dropped a big leg, and he gets to the corner... Oh, he makes the tag!<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, that's too bad... Uh oh, Mike. See, what'd I tell ya? ''{Strong Mad enters the ring}'' That guy...<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' The crap! Run away, Homestar!<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' They weren't very thrilled! They were appalled that this big guy got ahold of me and my mouth got so giant.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad's tights are blue there... Have they always been blue this whole cartoon?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't think so. ...Pom Pom's got a weird shaped head. Was that supposed to be some kind of perspective?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' It may have been perspective...<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' We're getting our butts kicked, Mike. I gotta tell ya.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Now what's going on?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Okay, there's the crowd. See, they were just worried about things, so they got quiet... And now&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Pom Pom knows what he's doing.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, he's got a plan. ''{of Strong Mad}'' Look at those meaty palms. Strong Mad's got real meaty palms.<br />
<br />
''{In the cartoon, Strong Mad flies into space, making the Nebulon sound}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{surprised}'' Nebulon! Where is he?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You heard the Nebulon sound&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' I heard him! He was just off-screen.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' ''{at nearly the same time}'' He must've been just off-screen. Ooh, a rare front view of yourself.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Ooh, it's true. Do you think Nebulon abducted Strong Mad there? ''{as the theme from ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' plays}'' Don't listen very closely up here, Mike. Coz it's gonna be different later on. Um... Ooh, he's got the old helicopter move.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You're not going to fall for that, are you?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' No way, man.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You're gonna give him a slow kick and then slowly lift him up.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, I barely got him over there. He made a very hollow noise when he hit the ground. Ooh, he's doing his "haselos theselos". Strong Bad used to, when he got real excited, he'd go, "Haselos theselos, haselos theselos".<!--Hastelos Deestelos?--><br />
<br />
''{In the toon, Homestar says, "I ate too many marshmallows."}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' So, wait, is that just you in the background going "buuyuuyuuyuu..."?<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Very possibly.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Nice. Oh, this is&mdash; ''{In the toon, Homestar spits the bomb at Strong Bad}'' Eew! That's disgusting! ''{Strong Bad blows up}'' Man, Mike... Ooh, I look good there. I did some damage to ol' Strong Bad's head.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' You did?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' I gotta tell ya. Look, there's the Robot!<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' There was the Robot, and, uh, Poopsmith.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' He's barely got a&mdash; There musta been a plug under the seat where he was sittin'.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah, coz he can't be very far away&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Else he would've been shut down.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' &mdash;with his four-foot extension cord, power cord.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a nice little, uh, photograph. I should start autographing those and giving them out.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Glossies?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' That's a glossy.<br />
<br />
''{In the toon, Strong Bad tears up the star}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey! ''{He does a flying kick against Strong Bad}'' Ah, I did it again! Buh-lam, Mike! Buh-lam and the angel. That's a good metal band.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Who just said that?<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Uh, not me.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' Apparently not.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' Don't look at me! I had that recorded, pre-recorded.<br />
<br />
'''MIKE:''' So Pom Pom just hit "mash play" on the&mdash;<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR:''' On a jambox. Pretty expensive. Inexpensive.<br />
<br />
=== Fun Facts ===<br />
*Homestar saying his hat was "between the milk and the ''[[pickles]]'', this time" and that he "didn't have no more [[Cold One]]s" refers to [[Where My Hat Is At?]] in which Homestar found his hat between the milk and the Cold Ones.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Balaam and the Angel|Balaam and the Angel]] is an English rock band that toured with [[Wikipedia:Kiss (band)|KISS]] and [[Wikipedia:Iggy Pop|Iggy Pop]] in the late '80s.<br />
*The way Homestar mentions that Strong Bad says, "Haselos theselos, haselos theselos" may be a reference to Strong Bad's email intro in [[2 years]].<br />

<br />
''{Cut to the land surrounding The King of Town's castle, which includes three sheep standing by a fence and several hills in the horizon. A butterfly passes by.}''<br />
<br />
[He is a good king and he rules the land quite nicely] <br />
<br />
''{Cut to the inside of the castle. The king is pacing back and forth nervously, sweating.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sweating}'' My sheep are missing! My sheep are missing! <br />
<br />
''{Cut to a pasture where several sheep are grazing. A dragon appears from behind the hills and eats one of the sheep, taking a bite out of the hill at the same time. The dragon disappears behind the hills.}'' <br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And I'm afraid that a dragon has gobbled them up!<br />

''{Homestar and Pom Pom look at each other, surprised. An exclamation mark appears over their heads. The King of Town's coat of arms appears, transitioning into the next scene, where it is placed on the wall. The King, Poopsmith, Chef, Hornblower, Knight, Blacksmith, and Cleric stand in a group before Homestar and Pom Pom. There are flies buzzing.}''<br />
<br />
[So Homestar called everyone together...]<br />
<br />
''{A blackboard falls onto the wall over the coat of arms, and a graduate cap and pointer fall into Homestar's head and "hand" from above.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{while drawing a sheep and a dragon}'' I have found that the King's sheep were not eaten by a dragon. ''{draws a big red "X" over dragon}''<br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Phew! <br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But, they ''were'' eaten! ''{a bite mark appears on the sheep}''<br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sweating}'' Oh, no! What could have done such a thing? <br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why don't you ask yourself, King? ''{pokes King's belly with pointer}''<br />
<br />
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{blushes}'' Oh, yeah. They were delicious! ''{burps}'' <br />
<br />
''{Everyone laughs as we pan out of the castle onto a sheep grazing in the field.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh man, Pom Pom! He ate the sheep! <br />
<br />
''{The sheep bleats, and a bugle sound is heard.}''<br />

<br />
== Easter Eggs ==<br />
*On the main DVD page, click on the mustache on the shield. After it moves aside, click on the brick that was under it to see the [[King of Town Intro]] and [[King of Town Main Page|Main Page]] that was used for April 1, 2003.<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The colors of the King of Town's crown are reversed compared to his crown's color scheme in all of his subsequent appearances.<br />
*This is the shortest Big Toon to date.<br />
*The old version of the toon contains the site's first [[Easter egg]].<br />
<br />
=== Remarks ===<br />
[[Image:KoT's Mouth.PNG|thumb|KoT's mouth]]<br />
*In the commentary, Strong Bad says Homestar never graduated from anything in his life. The position of his tassel, over the right eye, traditionally signifies that a person has not received a degree (yet).<br />
*In the commentary, Strong Bad saying that Homestar probably can't read is incorrect, for Homestar shows his reading and writing skills in several places, including [[credit card]], [[anything]], and [[email thunder]]. Homestar's literacy is also tested in [[Arcade Game]], [[Cool Things]] and [[Homestar Ruiner]].<br />
*In the Olde version, we actually see the King of Town's mouth under the mustache when he belches.<br />
*The storyboards depict the Poopsmith having a speaking part. Apparently, he was originally going to respond to Homestar's question with a simple "Nope". It also shows the second P in Poopsmith crossed out and replaced with an H, indicating that the Brothers Chaps may have initially renamed him the "Poohsmith", but this name isn't used anywhere else, suggesting the consideration to rename the character "Poohsmith" was abandoned altogether.<br />
*The fact that the King of Town really lives in a run-down two-room building next to the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] is directly contradicted by later toons.<br />
<br />
=== Inside References ===<br />
*[[The Hornblower]] plays the [[Theme Song Video|Homestar Runner Theme Song]] on the horn to call Homestar.<br />
*The King of Town's [[answering machine]] is the same type that [[Marzipan]] uses in the first eight installments of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]].<br />
*When the chef comes up you can see [[blood]] under the stabbed meat.<br />
*Homestar [[Homestar Poking People|pokes]] the King of Town with his pointer.<br />
<br />
=== Real-World References ===<br />
*The DVD menu theme is reminiscent of the theme from the ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest series|King's Quest]]'' games.<br />

== Everything Else Vol. 2 Version ==<br />
* On the Olde Version, switch the audio to hear commentary from Matt and Mike Chapman.<br />
* The King of Town's Answering Machine scene from the Commentary has been removed from the commentary and is an Easter Egg on The King of Town DVD menu. Access it by highlighting the New Version option and then clicking left a few times until an outline of the king's mustache and crown appears and then click on it to activate the scene.<br />
* Likewise, the [[King of Town Intro]] Easter egg has been relocated from behind the shield to an Easter Egg on the DVD menu. Access it by highlighting the Storyboard option and then clicking right a few times until another outline of the king's mustache and crown appears and then click on it to activate the scene.<br />
**However, it only goes as far as the intro; it does not go into the [[King of Town Main Page]], which has been removed.<br />
* On the main menu, select "back" and then push down until the shield is highlighted, then click on it to see [[King of Town Email]].<br />
* The Storyboard now has commentary from Matt and Mike Chapman.<br />
* When played in "Play All", only the New Version is played.<br />

No, seriously. I'm a pretty ''(adjective)'' person. But I saw this one ''(noun)'' last week and boy was it ''(adjective)''.

He told me to stop ''(-ing verb)'' him. I ''(verb (past))'' on his shoes.<br />

== Transcript ==<br />
''{The beginning credits roll with characters jumping jacks in background. Zoom in on Bubs, Strong Bad, Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad standing on a large, wooden platform with a banner on it, reading "A JUMPING JACK CONTEST!" The Announcer appears onscreen.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Good afternoo—<br />

<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a jumping jack contest!<br />

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs doing a quick dance. His name appears onscreen, as with the rest of the contestants.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Our five hot contestants&mdash; <br />

''{Pan right to Strong Bad hitting the sides of his head.}''<br />
<br />

<br />
''{Pan right to Homestar Runner quickly hopping up and down.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' &mdash;for the longest time!<br />
<br />
''{Pan right to Pom Pom bouncing from side to side.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Any contestant that ceases to jump jack, even for a moment,&mdash;<br />
<br />
''{Pan right to Strong Sad.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' &mdash; is out of the competition.<br />
<br />
''{Strong Sad slowly sighs. Cut to The Announcer.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' On your mark... get set... go!<br />
<br />
''{He holds up a starting pistol and fires it into the air. Cut to silhouettes of the contestants doing jumping jacks. Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{after two jacks}'' Whew. ''{sweats}'' I quit.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to close-up of Homestar.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still jumping jacks}'' All right, Strong Sad! That's twice as many as last year!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Strong Bad jumping jacks. The Cheat emerges from behind the wooden platform.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat! Is everything ready?<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat nods.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Good! Now go, and win us this competition!<br />
<br />
''{As Strong Bad says this, The Cheat races off.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Homestar. The Cheat jumps up on stage with a glass of melonade on a platter.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's up?<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{seen through the glass}'' A glass of melonade for me? Hmmm... okay!<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat holds up the platter, and Homestar drinks it through a straw.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, The Cheat!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a grassy area, empty except for Strong Mad standing by with some kegs of melonade. As The Cheat scurries into the frame and sets down the glass of melonade, Strong Mad refills The Cheat's empty glass.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{The Cheat runs off with the refilled glass. Cut back to Homestar at the Competition Area. The Cheat goes to Homestar Runner and offers him another glass.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, another one! ''{drinks}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a montage of Homestar Runner drinking glass after glass of melonade, Strong Mad refilling the glasses, and The Cheat fetching him more while music plays. Soon Homestar Runner has a huge belly and he jumps his jacks with crossed legs.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... I drank too many melonades... ''{queasy-sounding musical effect}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you not looking so good, Homestar. I think you better drop out.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to the empty field. The Cheat and Strong Mad high five. Cut back to the Competition Area.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom, I'm about to pee my pants.<br />
<br />
'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Great idea, Pom Pom! But do you think he can get here in time?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar's head. Homestar closes his eyes and gives a sigh of relief. Zoom out to show The Poopsmith walking away holding a jar of "yellow liquid". Homestar's belly is now empty.}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a screen displaying the words "Day 2" on a white silhouette of Bubs jumping jacks. Cut back to the competition.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs, looks like quite a line is building up at your concession stand.<br />
<br />
''{Cut to Bubs' stand. The "customers" waiting in line are The Cheat and Strong Mad. Strong Mad taps his foot while The Cheat looks around.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs. He stops jumping jacks and his eyes grow wide.}''<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' Hot DOG! <br />
<br />
''{Bubs runs off leaving a cloud of smoke. Cut back to the Stand, where Bubs enters it.}'' <br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' What can I get? For you fine gentlemen? <br />
<br />
''{He holds up various treats, including a bag of popcorn, a snowcone, a "BERSHEY" candy bar, a soft drink, small wrapped candies, and a "POO-BAR" candy bar. Strong Mad and The Cheat walk away.}''<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' Oh... I'm such a dummy.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to the Competition Area.}''<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through speakers}'' And so ends Day 2 of our competition with only THREE hot contestants left!<br />
<br />
''{Day changes to night.}''<br />
<br />
''{Pom Pom's silhouette spins onscreen, with the words "Day 3". It is now daytime again. Cut to Homestar, who is sweating.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How you holding up, Pom Pom?<br />
<br />
''{Pan right to Pom Pom.}''<br />
<br />
'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''<br />
<br />
''{Pan back to Homestar.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How 'bout you, Strong Bad?<br />
<br />
''{Pan left to Strong Mad wearing a Strong Bad mask.}''<br />
<br />
''{Zoom out to a full view of the Competition Area. Strong Mad is now on stage in place of Strong Bad.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG MAD:''' I AM STRONG BAD!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to close-up of Pom Pom.}''<br />
<br />
'''POM POM:''' ''{frowns angrily, bubbles}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, Pom Pom, of course that's Strong Bad! ''{to Strong Mad}'' Ok, Strong Bad, are you Strong Bad?<br />
<br />
''{Zoom out.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG MAD:''' I AM STRONG BAD!<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{to Pom Pom}'' See?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to close-up of Pom Pom, who has a disbelieving look on his face.}''<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad's mask covers the screen, with the words "Day 4". Cut to Homestar, who is looking rather tired.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{wearily}'' I don't know how much longer I can make it, Pom Pom. <br />
<br />
''{Zoom into Strong Bad's mask.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' And Strong Bad's ''still'' looking good!<br />
<br />
''{Zoom out to reveal The Cheat wearing a Strong Bad Mask. Cut to a pool, where Strong Bad is lounging in a chair at the poolside with a radio and a glass of melonade.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, let's see. I want to thank The Cheat for helping me to cheat—oh no, wait, I shouldn't say that. Let's try this again. I want to thank ''Strong Mad'' for helping me to cheat. There, that's better.<br />
<br />
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through Strong Bad's radio}'' Homestar Runner is fading fast and could drop out at any moment!<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up}'' Ah, that's my cue! ''{exits screen}''<br />
<br />
''{Cut to a side-view of the Competition Area. The Cheat is still in place of Strong Bad, and Homestar looks very weary.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I give up, Pom Pom. I'm about to jump my last jack. <br />
<br />
''{Pom Pom, with a very angry look on his face, walks over to The Cheat. Cut to a close-up of The Cheat, where Pom Pom appears and overshadows him.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom, what are you doing?!<br />
<br />
''{Cut to The Cheat's view from inside the mask. Against The Cheat's wishes, Pom Pom reaches down and pulls off the mask. Cut to front view of The Cheat.}''<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey, it's The Cheat! <br />
<br />
''{The Cheat grabs a Homestar Runner face cut-out from offscreen and puts it over his face, and then throws it away.}''<br />
<br />
'''BUBS:''' And it looks like he's cheating!<br />
<br />
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''<br />
<br />
''{Homestar Runner stops jumping jacks. A barber-shop style vocal arpeggio is heard, and the camera zooms in more and more to Homestar's face on each note.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But if that's The Cheat, then where's Strong Bad?<br />
<br />
''{Cut to an empty field, where Strong Bad is walking to the Competition Area. The camera moves along with Strong Bad.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Who is the guy that wins all the contests? That's me, Strong Bad. Except... maybe for that one contest. Or maybe more than one contest.<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Homestar.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There he is!<br />
<br />
''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Oh! Holy... crap.<br />
<br />
''{A trophy reading "What a Great Prize This Is." spins onscreen. Homestar holds it.}''<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, everybody, but this trophy really belongs to my best friend, Pom Pom.<br />
<br />
''{Strong Bad walks onscreen wearing a Pom Pom costume, and takes the trophy from Homestar.}''<br />
<br />
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, give me that! Uh, I mean &mdash; bubble, bubble-dee-bubble. Dubble Bubble.<br />
<br />
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, Pom Pom! We are best friends!<br />
<br />
''{Fade out to a screen reading "THE END."}''<br />
<br />
== Fun Facts ==<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The music used in the intro credits is the "Rock" rhythm on the Casio SK-1 keyboard.<br />
<br />
=== Remarks ===<br />
*This toon was removed in August 2003. According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]], "['[[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]' and 'A Jumping Jack Contest'] will be back on someday. We can't disclose why they're off, it's a personal reason. If all goes well, they'll be back on the site; we'd like to have everything we've ever done on the site, and it sucks we had to take them off. They'll be back on someday."<br />
*Technically, because arm movements are an important part of jumping jacks, Homestar Runner didn't do any, since he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]]. He also wasn't moving his feet correctly when he was full of melonades.<br />
**Strong Sad didn't do any real jumping jacks either. He just raised his arms and bounced.<br />
**Since The Cheat doesn't have legs, he wasn't doing jumping jacks correctly either.<br />
*Homestar rather obviously broke the rules of the contest. He stopped jumping when he drank his first glass of melonade.<br />
*Strong Bad has a [[belly button]] in this cartoon, but only during the scene by the pool.<br />
*This toon has a [[URLs With the Number 2 In Them|2 in the URL]].<br />
*When Homestar says "I drank too many melonades," he says "drank" without his usual speech impediment.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When Homestar's bladder is full, and he says to Pom-Pom, "But do you think he can get here in time?", the shading on the red part of his hat changes each time he moves his mouth.<br />
*When Strong Bad tells The Cheat to "win [them] this competition", a corner of his mouth comes out of his head.<br />
*When Homestar looks down and says, "I give up, Pom Pom", it appears his head was sliding a little bit down his shirt.<br />
*Much or all of this toon does not lip sync very well, especially towards the end. It appears the characters' mouth movements come about half of a second after they say the lines.<br />
*On the menu, after you click "Play game", Strong Bad's head is lower than it should be.<br />
*When the screen zooms out after Homestar pees, he can still be heard moaning, even though his mouth is closed.<br />
*During the scene with Strong Bad at the pool, some of the tiles that are covered by the waves in the pool can be seen below the water line.<br />
*When Strong Bad is lying in his pool chair, his reflection is not seen underneath it.<br />
*In one transition scene from day to night, a star can clearly be seen in the black part of the crescent moon. This shouldn't be, for it would be blocked by the unseen area of the moon.<br />
<br />
=== Glitches ===<br />
*After the Strong Lib has been filled out, the text can be highlighted and changed&mdash;including the text that wasn't affected by your choices before.<br />
*If the Flash file is paused during the opening credits, the music continues playing until it reaches the part of the score that ends the scene.<br />
<br />
=== Inside References ===<br />
*Homestar's line, "I drank too many melonades", is a reference to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], in which he says the same thing about eating too many marshmallows.<br />
*Homestar wins a [[trophies|trophy]] for first place in the contest.<br />
*Homestar offers to share the trophy with Pom Pom, repaying the favor from the [[original book]].<br />
*Pom-Pom 'uncovers that Cheat', also repaying the favor.<br />
*When Strong Bad mentions the contests he didn't win, he could be referring to the [[Original Book|Strongest Man in the World Contest]], the wrestling match in Marshmallow's Last Stand, or the [[Reddest Radish]] contest.<br />
*This is likely the earliest mention of [[Homestar Runner's pants]].<br />
*This is also one of the earliest sightings of [[guns]].<br />
*This is also the earliest mention of [[peeing]].<br />
*This is also the first time Homestar has said [[Seriously]].<br />
<br />
=== Real-World References ===<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Dubble Bubble|Dubble Bubble]] is a brand of bubble gum.<br />
*When Bubs holds up his snacks, one is called Bershey, a play on the popular [[Wikipedia:Hershey bars|Hershey bars]].<br />
<br />
=== Fast Forward ===<br />
*On the "Learn to Speak The Cheat" record in the Strong Bad Email [[cheat talk]], one of the phrases is "Hey Homestar, would you like 147 glasses of [[melonade]]?", and the Cheat-speak equivalent is the sound he made when offering Homestar the melonade in this cartoon.<br />
*In the Strong Bad Email [[some kinda robot]], Strong Bad sings, "Who's the guy that checks all those emails? That's me Strong Bad!", which is a reference to the song he sings in this cartoon.<br />
*In the toon [[Strong Bad Sings]], one of his songs is titled "Who's the guy that wins all the contests?"<br />
*Homestar drinks too many Melonades again in [[The Luau]].<br />
*Bubs's movements when he does jumping jacks, warms up before the contest, and looks at the line at his stand are all settings in the game [[Dancin' Bubs]].<br />
*One of the scenes from this toon was exaggerated in [[Exaggerations]].<br />
*In [[No Hands On Deck]], Homestar says that he hasn't talked about melonade in a while, and then his head changes to its design from this toon.<br />
*Strong Bad actually thanks The Cheat for helping him to cheat in [[Halloween Awards Show]].<br />
*The back of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] from this toon reappears in [[original]]. Later, [[Crack Stuntman]] says Bubs' line, "What can I get for you fine gentlemen?".<br />
*In [[Most in the Graveyard]], when Homestar and Pom Pom are behind the gravestone with the [[Carnivorous Undead Sheep]] approaching, Homestar repeats his line "Seriously, Pom Pom, I'm about to pee my pants".<br />
