'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{in a high-pitched, mocking voice}'' Oooohhh! Why don't you creat an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly ''{short pause}'' and I talk like this.

<span id="fun-facts"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Fun Facts </span> ==

<span id="explanations"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Explanations</span> ===

* In filmic terms, a [[Montage (filmmaking)|montage]] sequence is a series of short shots edited in sequence to condense time and information. Montages are often used to illustrate the passage of time, show character growth, or highlight several brief moments out of a larger complex event. As montages do not display events in real time, the audio is often substituted for a song, musical piece, or narration.

<span id="trivia"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Trivia</span> ===

* This is the earliest email confirmed to be sent by an HRWiki user: [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]].
* In the original version of this email, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees and The Stick.
* This email introduces [[Strong Bad Evolution|the seventh iteration of Strong Bad's character design]].
* Homestar's pronunciation of "champeenship" resembles the name of rejected character [[Rejected Characters|Champeen]].
* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad creates a montage."

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Remarks</span> ===

* Though not a proper word, <code>creat</code> is a system call in the [[Unix]] operating system used to creat(e) a new file.
* Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve!]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].
* While Strong Bad is mocking Steve about his poor spelling, he arguably makes a grammar error himself: he ends his sentence with a period instead of a question mark. ("Why don't you creat an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly and I talk like this'''.'''") Rhetorical questions, however, do not necessarily need question marks.
* Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [https://homestarrunner.com/auction.html "Some Type of Online Auction"].
* The [[Scoreboard|scoreboard]] in the gym has the word "TIMES" written under the timer.
* The first and last house that The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes stop at are the same house.

<span id="goofs"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Goofs</span> ===

* As The Cheat keeps getting doors slammed in his face as a salesman, the last place he visits with the blue wall and white door, the door frame ends before the bottom of the toon's frame, and the right end of the door ends before the right of the frame.
* Just after Strong Bad clicks his stopwatch, the landscape shifts slightly and the piles of pancakes change in height and location. This occurs because the jpeg image used for the screen transition didn't exactly match the previous frame.

The symbol of our lives

</div>

</div>

</div>
* The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which [[The Brothers Chaps]] decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In this email, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the [[Quite Fancy 'Chup|ketchup]] and fries from [[funny]], the [[The Halloween House|house]] from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theater]] from [[A Jorb Well Done]].
* The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long-Haired Band]].
* The [[Taranchula]] album cover was previously seen in the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
* The houses are the same format of the house that the viewer gave treats from in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
* This is the first toon that depicts [[Smoking|The Cheat smoking]]. His habit was alluded to in [[Where's The Cheat?|Where's the Cheat?]], [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge]] and [[big white face]].
* The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
* The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.
* The buzzer used for the scoreboard is the same as the [[DELETED]] buzzer.
* The score of -1 is the first instance of an [[Scoreboard|irregular score]].
* During all scenes with Strong Bad in love with the Wagon Fulla Pancakes, Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]].
* This is another toon with [[Homestar Runner Left Behind]] in the Easter egg.

<span id="real-world-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Real-World References</span> ===

* The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro refers to the practice of such shows featuring an animal expert as a guest, showcasing exotic or specially trained animals to the audience.
* Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrainingMontage training montages] from sports movies; training montages accompanied by high-energy songs are especially prominent in the ''[[Rocky (franchise)|Rocky]]'' series, with a scene of [[Rocky Steps|Rocky triumphantly running up a flight of steps]] achieving particular pop-culture fame.
** One instrumental piece from [[Rocky IV: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|the Rocky IV score]] is named "Training Montage".
* Homestar parodies ''[[The Karate Kid]]'' with his headband and gi, as well as singing "[[You're the Best]]" from the movie during the Easter egg.
* The Strong Bad Easter egg is a take on the popular [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which players saw a similar sequence in between bouts of various boxing circuits (the jumps from Minor to Major, and from Major to World).
** The ''Punch-Out!!'' sequence itself recalls the ''Rocky'' montages.
* The [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php//Main/WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue "Where Are They Now?" epilogue] is a common narrative tool in both historical and fictional storytelling. The "freeze-frame and subtitle" format was originated by ''[[American Graffiti]]'' in 1973, while the 1978 movie ''[[Animal House]]'' presented comedic or ironic fates for the characters and popularized using this finale in a humorous manner.
* The End Credits Photo Montage song is reminiscent of the [[Queen (band)|Queen]] song "[[Headlong (song)|Headlong]]".
* ''[[Animal Planet]]'' is a TV network dedicated to programs about animals and nature.

* Homestar's "weekend" song plays at [[The King of Town]]'s party of [[boring (really)]].
* Homestar sang "You're the Best" again [[Alamo Drafthouse - 10 Jun 2005|a 2005 appearance at the Alamo Drafthouse]], "montage" was among the toons shown to the audience.
* The [[Showdown]] song plays while Pom Pom and Homestar work out in [[Strongest Man in the World]], and during the montage of Strong Bad digging a hole in Marzipan's front yard in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
* The Paper does indeed stick around until email #173 ([[the paper]]), at which time Strong Bad actually does upgrade to an [[New Paper|inkjet printer]]. This change was also foreshadowed in email #172 ([[more armies]]) when The Paper comes down torn and sickly-looking. Strong Bad remarks that "that's a bad sign".
* The song from Strong Bad's "falling in love" montage is used (albeit a modified version) in the [[Social Media Crap Compilation 1]] "Fan Pamcakes" segment, as is Homestar's quote before the training montage.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MATT:''' Listen...

''{Strong Bad says, "actress Marzipan" in the background.}''

'''MATT:''' And we've got Marzipan right here with us!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And it's you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' He called you an actress. Isn't that nice?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' Seems like usually he calls you something worse than that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

''{Matt and Mike both laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' You're doing a good job acting right now, saying the word "yeah" over and over again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you.

'''MATT:''' Oh, thank you. A new word.

'''MARZIPAN:''' So, what are we here for, today?

'''MIKE:''' We're doing the commentary for the "montage" email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We're here in this tiny, glass-enclosed booth, recording some commentary.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It is getting smelly in here, too.

'''MATT:''' It is. Mike and I have been in here all day.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It smells like Fritos.

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever seen this email before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I... haven't.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Look, he's got a wagon fulla pancakes, isn't that something?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Those are not real pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' No? What are they?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I dunno, I think they're made out of plaster.

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, there's the lake that did appear later as per your, uh, prophecy on the old DVD.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Your comments of the—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' The fishing show?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that we were going to use it later and—and we did, just a few weeks after that I think.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It really is starting to smell.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' D— Let's comment more on the—on the email. Is that—that was completely new, that—? I mean it looks kind of like the one from, uh, "Can't Say Job", doesn't it? But that theater—?

'''MIKE:''' It's been modified, the theater. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Um... we should head back there someday, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe we will.

'''MATT:''' For a movie.

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your friend The Cheat.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look, the pancakes are wearing a hat, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see.

'''MATT:''' And holding... a briefcase somehow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And now they're enjoying a highball.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps}'' I didn't know that The Cheat smoked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's got a problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' There's your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar had that— that's ''my'' shirt.

'''MATT:''' That's yours? Uh oh, 'cause he sells it later on in this email, so—

'''MARZIPAN:''' That was mine! I was wondering what happened to it.

'''MATT:''' He got a good deal for it, at least.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What'd he get?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I'm not sure. Probably, like, 17 dollars.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll tell him he needs to split the proceeds.

''{Mike and Matt both laugh}''

'''MATT:''' He should. Sounds like it should ''all'' go to you; it was ''your'' shirt.

'''MIKE:''' That's a nice sunset.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's okay.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, Homestar looks like Daniel LaRusso. ''{in faux-aggressive voice}'' His karate's a joke. You think you can rely on that crane crap?

'''MARZIPAN:''' He's actually trained in Tae Kwon Do.

'''MATT:''' Really? Homestar is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's probably why he didn't do well with the karate.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Ohh! He learned the wrong martial art.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' What do you think of this, um, end of the—end-of-the-movie photo montage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's okay.

'''MATT:''' See, look. Oh! He—no, sorry, I lied. He got it for three bucks. Not seventeen.

'''MIKE:''' You got a buck-fifty comin' to ya.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I—Animal Planet's my favorite program.

'''MATT:''' Hey, isn't "cancelled" spelled wrong there?

'''MIKE:''' Was it?

'''MATT:''' I think "canceled" only has one L. Let's change that before we put out this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' We can— ''{Pause}'' Oh, it's not over yet.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' You might think it's over, but it's not.

'''MATT:''' Say something!

'''MIKE:''' Now it's over.

<span id="fun-facts-1"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Fun Facts</span> ===

* Mike had mentioned his plan to reuse the fishing scene in [[lures & jigs|the DVD commentary]] for [[lures & jigs]].
* Daniel LaRusso is the main character from ''[[The Karate Kid]]''.
** "Your karate's a joke" and "You think you can rely on [[crane kick|that crane crap]]?" are quotes from the movie series.
* "Cancelled" appears on both the website and DVD. Though both are correct ways of spelling, "canceled" is generally a more American way of spelling it.
* Unlike her prior [[DVD Commentary Speakers|DVD commentary appearances]] in emails 1-100, Marzipan has largely dropped the premise that homestarrunner.com is a show and not "real" life.
* "Can't Say Job" is the name of the HTML and Flash files for [[A Jorb Well Done]].
* [[Tae Kwon Do]] (literally ''hand and foot art'') is a Korean form of martial arts.
