Spike
Coach Zed is reminiscent of Snoopy's brother Spike.
Yeah, that's what I thought. No Smorking 21:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Marzipan: Ignorant?
I don't think Marzipan is as smart as was previously shown. She couldn't see through such an obvious disguise in the Easter Egg. It would seem Homestar and her are very alike... --acekirby13|My Talk 19:45, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- I dunno... she couldn't tell that Homestar Jr. wasn't really talking. — It's dot com 21:06, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- I personally think that Marzipan only pictures herself as smarter than Homestar, in a similar fashion to how Strong Bad pictures himself as a cool ladies man. --Jay (Talk) 21:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- I'm guessing Marzipan knew that it was The Cheat and just took advantage of the opportunity. Her and The Cheat have seemed to have had a thing for each other for a while anyway. -- Homeschool Winner 01:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Don't forget about Tofu Homestar. She seems to like Homestar more when he's not really Homestar. :P -- Joshua 02:15, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Marzipan's none too bright, it seems. '_' --acekirby13|My Talk 22:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
SCRAWNY ADDITIONS
Stop making scrawny additions like "running time: 4:23". I had the entire sbemail done and then it said "someone else has changed the page" and all that was changed was that you added "running time: 4:23"! Thanks a lot! --EMJS (Talk) 19:50, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- It's just as well. I finished the draft anyway. And, as a note, your edit is at the bottom of the screen in an Edit Conflict and can be easily copy/pasted back. --Jay (Talk) 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
NOTE: Edit conflict; what a great way to make my point!
- Uh, you know that your text is on the bottom, right? You can easily copy the text from there, as I just did. Also, running time is an important factor, not a scrawny addition. Sorry you got cheated out of a transcript, but it's happened to others too. (Btw, sign your comment) --acekirby13|My Talk 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
My first addition to the Wiki (or to any Wiki for that matter)
I added a link to the forum thread. That is the only change I made. I hope I didn't screw anything up. On my first try, I took too long and got the "Someone else has edited this page" alert, so I cut-to-clipboard the link I added, backed out, and clicked edit again, and as fast as possible, added the link and clicked save. - Jalexster (sorry, didn't know about not signing my comment. I'll get the hang of everything soon.)
- Cool. We all have to start somewhere. However - and I'm not trying to be rude - but this might be better served on your user page. --Jay (Talk) 20:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Possible Family Guy Reference
Last night's new Family Guy episode featured Peter swallowing nickels to get the world record. He also made the jangling noise with his belly. Would this possibly be a reference to Family Guy or is it to vague? --24.27.135.88 21:16, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, there's a vote going on in STUFF about that right now. I certainly think it is, especially given that they've been known to make emails at the last minute and the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence. From after I voted, 2 people (including myself) say yes and 1 person says no. unknownwarrior33 21:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
I don't think its a reference, as the episode premiered on Sunday and the email premiered today...I don't think that TBC would have enough time to make such a reference, even if they cared. --Tony Stonytalk
I noticed this too and was completely weirded out. The Brothers Chaps often pull all-nighters getting their emails out, and this one came later in the day. I'm almost positive it was a reference. And I know this shouldn't be in here, but that was a great Family Guy episode! -- Homeschool Winner 02:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
I was about to list this one. This premiered one day after that episode; whether it consciously influenced them or not, I think it is definitely behind that part of the email. --jbo
According to interviews and such, one of the longest it takes to make a sbemail is 3 or 5 days. They can make a sbemail pretty quickly these days... So it's quite possible. --StarWarsMonkey :-) 00:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
'School'?
There were two references in this email about SB and Homestar going to school together (possibly with Strong Mad). Has this ever been mentioned before, or is it just a random joke of some kind?
It has. Strong Sad was talking about how he went to school in Yellow Dellow. Sign your posts.-Alice
little hearts
When I first watched this email, there weren't any little hearts above Homestar's head when he said "Strong Bad, I think I'm falling for you." Did anyone else catch that?-Alice
- I saw it very shortly after it came out. Like within less than half an hour. As far as I know, the hearts were always there. --Jay (Talk) 19:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Same here. -- tomstiff 19:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Homestar: Gay?
From what he did in this email, Homestar seems like he's gay. Do you think he is? -Kinsey
- EDIT CONFLICT'd!!! With Strong Bad cutting out like that, I don't think that part was real. -- Joshua 19:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Homestar "falls" for SB in "real-time", not as part of the do-over. -- tomstiff 19:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- They go into the sequence in what seems like "reality". But they do come out of it as if he was imagining. Regardless, it's just a joke. Strong Bad's allure is so strong, everyone falls for him! -- tomstiff 20:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Regardless of whether it was imaginary or not, it seems like the joke is that Strong Bad was singing such a terrible song, and then a GUY fell in love with him. And without another reference to Homestar's sexuality, I wouldn't say that this constitutes as a fact. -- Lord Karkon
- sigh: Just becasue Homestar has the socio-cognitive developmental equiviency of a 10-year-old does not make him "Gay." (If I used to many big words for you, I just said that Homestar acts like a child).
Does this make him "Retarded?" Quite possibly, but not gay. He's just blissfully unaware of sexuality; much like your litle brother that giggles when you say a mildly naught word. Keep in mind the nature of his relationship with Marzipan. To sum him up, he's not just dim in "I've got a girfriend" department, he's dim to the point of fumbling around a lot and bumping into stuff (not just figuratively, I might add). Is it any wonder that Marzipan is mostly indiferent to his advances? Be this as it may, I don't believe it's helpfull to put such labels on Homestar. Even if he were a flaming homosexual who advertised his homosexuality and organized daily Gay Pride marches in Strong Bad's living room* I really would't see the point in actively applying the "gay" label to him.
- Why there? Becasue he'd be gay but still Homestar. He's be Gaystar Runner. Or perhaps Homestar Gayer. Take your pick.
This concludes the mostly pointless but also mildly amusing "is he Gay" thread. You may now question your own sexuality if you like.
Casting Coach Zed
No one seems to be able to agree on this. Should Coach Zed be in the cast list? I vote yes, BTW. --Jay (Talk) 20:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
No, I don't think so. He was probably just a one-time easter egg gag. --StarWarsMonkey :-) 00:08, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
"Attack of the Show"-ed?
This is probably stretching, but Strong Bad whacking Homestar with the keyboard could be considered a reference to the Homerowed sketch found on Attack of the Show. The show used to be The Screen Savers, which featured an interview of TBC: Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005 --madcrasher
I just added a note pointing out that the whole "Zed" thing is a bit of a misconception, although technicly it is correct. If you look it up in a grammar/pronounciation guide, it's there. However, in reality it's not so simple. Due to the constant exposure to american media (tv, movies, print, etc.) you are less and less likely to hear a Canadian in Canada actualy pronounce the letter "Z" as "zed" now than you were thrity years ago. Since it seems that it takes about thirty years for the grammar & diction handbooks to get with the times, it's not surprising that you yanks think we canucks all say "Zed" all; the time up here in the great frozen igloo-factury that is Canada. (You just keep thinking we all live in igloos. Gives you less reason to want to invade us.) ;)
In fairness, sometimes I will still pronounce it "zed", especialy when it comes to spelling my nameout loud, (For those of you who weren't paying attention, I just told you that my name has one or more "z" in it.) I know it's still prevelent and has not died outr of useage. I'm just trying to point out that Canadians are not known to say "Zee" from time to time as well as "Zed". Ok?
Now, if you realy wanna get into a pronunciation debate, ask me how to pronounce "Saskatchewan" or "Toque" or "Poutine" (and no, the last one is not the name of the current Russian leader, bet rather an food item unique to Canada.) Or something harder if you really wanna get into it. I'm all Canadian, all the time.

Round ol red head? (or something similar)
Isn't the begginning of the serenade a reference to the King of town's description of Strong Bad in the Strong Bad in jail cartoon? -Carlo
