Easter Eggs

• At the beginning, click on "da bomb," "da boyz" and "da hood" to bring up T-shirts with phrases incorporating each term.
• At the end, click on the Heavy Lourde to see Homestar make an offer he can't refuse.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: We got a Homestar Runner for sale! Slightly used and mostly confused! We can't give these things away! {leans} I'll take it! {leans other way} I'll take twelve! {stands upright} Drive one home today!

• Click on the answering machine to see more of Coach Z.

{Marzipan and Coach Z are at the garage sale in the same positions as before.}

MARZIPAN: This garage sale is more like a gar-baaj sale.

STRONG BAD: {leaning in from offscreen} DAHDAHDAHDAHDAH! Moms Only!

COACH Z: Oh, then I'm okay to say it!

{Strong Bad and Marzipan look shocked and confused by Coach Z's comment.}

Fun Facts

Trivia

• This is the first time we see Marzipan raise an eyebrow.

Remarks

• Technically, it's not a garage sale, as we never see a garage. It's more of a yard sale.
• While it is dubious that any of the objects listed as "Great for Baby!" are appropriate for infants, only the Helicopter is known to be inappropriate for them - in Cheat Commandos Commercial, it is said to be for "Ages 3-5".

Goofs

• When the camera scrolls to the left at the beginning of the "Haggler" scene, the Garage sale sign suddenly disappears just before it should go off screen.
• The image of Gooblies is obviously flipped, as you can see if you zoom in on his washing care label when Strong Sad moves out of the way, the "G" is displayed backwards.

Inside References

• "Graw Mad" is Strong Bad's nickname for Strong Mad in the facts.
• Homestar's cow lamp originally appeared in caper.
• "Pree-oww" is the onomatopoeia for the sound The Paper makes when it comes down.
• Marzipan's recorded message (It's a great day at Marzipan's!) is a reference to part-time job where Strong Bad said "It's a great day at Bubs' Concession Stand!" while wearing his Tragic Clown Dog suit.
• The Haggler sign's hat is a recolored version of Homsar's bowler derby.

Real-World References

• Stuckey's is a chain of roadside convenience stores found on highways throughout the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest United States.
• Senor Cardgage refers to Strong Sad as Helvetica, a famous sans-serif typeface.
• The whole e-mail is a reference to an old comedy VHS film (by J2 Communications) called "How to Have a Money-Making Garage Sale," in which Phyllis Diller discussed sensible and frivolous tips, as well as many different "species" of customers who come by, strikingly similar to "The Haggler" and "The Lurker."
