COOKIE
Easter Eggs
- At the end of it, flip to the page after the title page and click on the words "The Cheat's allowance" to see the online auction for the breakfast burrito.
- Keep flipping through the paper, and after it flips back to the front, the paper can be downloaded in the Microsoft Word .doc format.
Fun Facts
Trivia
- Originally, the cash was scanned pictures of actual money. However, The Brothers Chaps later scrapped the idea, and used cartoon drawings instead.
- Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith allegedly reported via an Internet forum that he actually did submit Strong Bad's English paper along with his own real one.
- Originally, the half-eaten burrito was actually listed for sale on eBay. According to a message board from the time of release, the burrito shot from $3.50 to over $1,000,000 in a matter of hours. By 9:10 pm it was past $5,000,000, and by 10:19 pm it had maxed out at $99,999,999. During this time messages were displayed somewhere from Homestar, including:
Oh my god you guys are crazy!!! This isn't even one of Marzipan's famous tofu breakfast burritos. But since you guys like so much, guess what, I'll throw in the plate. BTW, watch for my upcoming auctions: One of The Cheat's sweat socks, Marzipan's bread and butter pickle recipe, and Strong Sad's autographed Moby baby-doll tee!
Alright, alright! I'll pay the shipping. It's the least I can do.
C'mon guys, quit going crazy on my auction. This thing isn't worth half of what it's going for. It is half-eaten, afterall. I'm going to use the money to buy Marzipan a Yello Dello. And if that's you running up the price, The Cheat, don't ask me to shave your back anymore.
- Due to the large number of bogus bids, the burrito was eventually pulled. The cancellation notice(s) read:
Sewiouslwy guys, this thing is half eaten afterall.
The King Of Town ate the burrito. This does not look good for Homestar Runner.
- Within the online auction page is the first time Strong Bad is called a "wrestle man."
Remarks
- Cancelling out the negatives, "Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples" means "Somebody can say Strong Bad did something for the peoples."
- The aforementioned phrase is the second time Strong Bad has used a quadruple negative (Can't, nobody, never, nothing). Previously in marzipan, he asked Marzipan "Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?", which, cancelling out the negatives means, "Do you dislike not Strong Bad?" That roughly means, "Do you hate anybody that's not Strong Bad?"
- Strong Bad taped $2.53 to the back of the paper. It is not entirely clear whether the silver coins are nickels or quarters, though the portrait looks similar to that on the one dollar bills, which also feature George Washington.
- The printable version of the english paper was created on Sunday, February 23, 2003 10:27:00 PM and printed on Monday, February 24, 2003 4:57:00 AM. The software it was written on is registered to "Preferred Customer" of "Dell Computer Corporation."
- Between typing "speech" and "Webster's," there is a lengthy pause, during which the typing sounds are still going on.
- The a> prompt is missing from the back button.
Inside References
- According to the auction Easter egg, Homestar's screen name is witchesbrew82—yet another in a long line of Witches' Brew references. The high bidder is cheatachu72, which is The Cheat's Instant Messenge screen name from i she be.
Fast Forward
- The diagram of the man eating a battery is later used in bottom 10, except instead of a battery, he has a Fluffy Puff Marshmallow crammed in there.
- Homestar "seals the deal" with the foreign conglomerates (The King of Town) in the email business trip.
The English Paper
"A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper"
by Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith
Since maybe like the Middle Ages, there have been many
differing opinions on hustle and bustle. This cannot be
denied. It is my intention to sit down and play video games
for several hours.First, moving around quickly, and with purpose, is a
true sign of character. Secondarily, bustle(e.g. hustle)
yields more product for the working types. "Hustle and bustle
are like my right and left arms," said Li'l Spicy in his famous
"Hustle and Bustle Are Like My Right and Left Arms" speech.
Webster's defines bustle as "excited and often noisy activity;
a stir." A stir, indeed. Finally, sometimes gross stuff can
be funny.In conclusion, I, "The Yellow Dart," think I have done a
great job illustrating the many differing opinions about hustle
and bustle, may they both rest in peace. Also, I think Strong
Bad should decrease The Cheat's allowance.
{Page Three features the batteries diagrams, and Page 4 features money taped to the back of the English paper.}
DVD Version
- The "Englilsh" Paper is only accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-right corner of the Compy 386 screen. However, you now get to hear Strong Bad read the paper aloud. Furthermore, there are some additional comments near the end of this.
- STRONG BAD: Eating one battery. Eating five batteries. Oh, that guy has got quite a gullet. {turns to page four} And what I like to call a little... inshoirance.
- Strong Bad misspells "yields" as "yeilds" in the image of the essay that he is reading in this extra (though it is correct in the online version).
- The Breakfast Burrito is accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen instead of through the Englilsh Paper. As with the Englilsh Paper, you get to hear Homestar Runner read it.
