== Fun Facts ==


=== Trivia ===

* "Strong Bad did a jig while holding all the grapes and The Cheat learned to fly" was mentioned in a [[Quote of the Week]], in which the quote is actually spoken by Strong Bad (from the DVD Easter egg for the email [[kids' book]]).


=== Goofs ===

* Strong Bad misspells the word "[[Toilets|commode]]" as "comode".


=== Inside References ===

* The name "Strumstar" could be from [[Coach Z Talker]] where one of Coach Z's wrong word for Homestar was "Stramstar".
* One of the car's sounds, "breeeow!", is a slight variation on [[The Paper]]'s [[Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]], which is "[[Preeeeow|preeeeow]]".


=== Real-World References ===

* Strong Bad mentions the "original line-up of [[The Beatles]]", plus "Watch out PETE BEST!" [[Pete Best]] was the original drummer for The Beatles, replaced early on by [[Ringo Starr]].
* The title "Strumstar Hammer" most likely refers to both [[Strum|strumming]] and [[Hammer-on|hammer-ons]], respectively. Both of these are basic guitar techniques.


=== Fast Forward ===

* The phrase "milk's meat" appears multiple times in [[Peasant's Quest]]. Milky meat (and meaty milk) is also mentioned in [[Homestar Ruiner]].


=== DVD Version ===

* It appears as an Easter egg on the Strong Bad Email kids' book as usual. In this version Strong Bad reads the book out loud, and the pages appear on the [[Telebision]] as he reads them.
