== Fun Facts ==


=== Explanations ===

* This toon was released on January 13, 2006, the third anniversary of Trogdor's debut in the email [[dragon]] (January 13, 2003).
** Stinkoman's debut was in [[japanese cartoon]], released a week prior to [[dragon]] (January 6, 2003), hence his remark about his birthday being "last week".


=== Trivia ===

* [[Trogador]] had previously been shown to fans by [[The Brothers Chaps]] during an appearance at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|New York University on March 1, 2005]]. At the time, [[Mike Chapman]] had remarked that the character would "probably never get used".
* This Trogday was also celebrated with [[Store Front Page News 2006|a special Trogdor sale]] on the [[Yahoo Store]].


=== Remarks ===

* The [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor song]] uses the version recorded for [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], though they cut from "cottages" to the tag line, "And the Trogdor comes in the...", thus matching the form of the original song.
* The first picture of a costumed Trogdor came from Anime Weekend Atlanta 11.
* One of the last pictures seen, a Trogdor figure made of 2550 [[Sticky Notes|Post-it notes]], is [[School Sightings|a "hack" performed by MIT students]].
* The Trogdor-shaped fish stick and the crocheted Trogdor were originally for sale on [[EBay|eBay]].
* Clicking "Back" at the end always links to [[Main Page 17]], the 20X6 main page.
* Trogador's footsteps "shake" the frame of the Flash file a bit.
* The "Trogdor House" is an administrative building at [[Tarleton State University]] named "Trogdon House," after former TSU President W.O. Trogdon. It is a [[Category:Landmarks in Texas|Texas landmark]], as indicated by the plaque on its right.


=== Goofs ===

* Stinkoman has a shadow when he is running, but Trogador does not.
* When the screen freezes to the sketch style, Stinkoman's party hat disappears.
* There is no shine on Stinkoman's chest.


=== Fixed Goofs ===

* Originally, clicking on "again" would go to the start of the TROGDOR song. Additionally, the beginning would be slightly cut-off, sounding like "ogdor". This has since been fixed.
** However, this has only been fixed in the last frame. If you go back a frame at the end, you can still click the original "Again" button.


=== Inside References ===

* In [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Stinkoman stated that he likes [[Prawns|prawns]], which explains the one on his birthday hat.
* The word "[[Trogday (holiday)|Trogday]]" is the second time someone's birthday has been celebrated by replacing the ''birth'' in ''birthday'' with part of the person's name. The first time was [[The Cheat]]'s "[[cheatday]]".
** This practice is continued in [[Flash 10th Birthday]], in which Strong Bad mentions "Flashday".
* The graffitied "Trogdor Strikes Again!" is a reference to the original email [[dragon]] when Strong Bad burns [[Strong Sad]]'s drawing.
** The wall, plus a "No Trogdor" sign nearby, originated as the [[Weekly Fanstuff 2004|Weekly Fanstuff]] of August 31, 2004.
* The slide with the man dressed as a peasant holding a Trogdor plush is from [[More Fan Costumes]].
* The music at the very end is the same short tune at the end of [[Under Construction]].


=== Fast Forward ===

* A different aspect of Trogday is celebrated in [[Trogday 08]].
