Fun Facts
- To see the different purchase scenes, set your system clock between midnight and 4:59 am (or if already set there, between 5:00 am and midnight) then click on your back button. This can be done multiple times, just keep setting the clock to the desired time and going back. (Note: the Late Night Thank You will always play if your clock is set between midnight and 4:59 am as stated above.)
- The filename for Bubs's Thank You, thankyou_bubsness.swf, is a reference to the Broken Compy Menu, an older version of the Strong Bad Email menu.
- The page title, "Thank you so much for to buying our crap", is a reference to the ending of Super Mario 64 where Mario says a similar line, "Thank you so much for to playing my game," at the end of the credits roll.
- In the Homestar and Marzipan's Thank You message, Marzipan's guitar does not have its trademark "Carol" on it.
- Since at least 2 September 2017, the page and Flash file have been deleted from the site - attempting to access its historic URL will now send you to Neon 404'd. This is due to the thank you messages no longer being used.
