'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww...that's very sweet. ''{typing}'' Look Dan and Linda, Strong Bad doesn't sell out to anybody, man. No matter how monstrous their truck show may or may not be. Though I have done the occasional promo for the events we hold in Strong Badia. In fact, I think there's one coming up this...

''{Cut to a monster-truck show promo-style segment. The words Strong Bad says appear on the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SOMEDAY!

''{Two tires cross the screen diagonally, with Strong Bad providing the "vroom" noises for them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' IT'S AWEXOME ''{pronounced "awesome"}'' CROSS 98!

''{Awexome Cross logo appears, and the scene cuts to Strong Badia. Another tire appears and screeches away to cut to the Strong Badia national flag}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' LIVE IN STRONGBADIA!

''{Cut to The Cheat wearing a jumpsuit and waving.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' THRILL! AS THE CHEAT ATTEMPTS TO JUMP THE TIRE OVER THE KOT EATING A CARDBOARD BOX COVERED IN SYRUP!

''{The Cheat is shown rolling inside the tire as it rolls up a ramp. Cut to the King of Town, in the process of eating a cardboard box with maple syrup and a pat of butter on it.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': This is some good cake!

''{Cut to Strong Mad holding Marzipan's guitar over Homestar, who is wearing a helmet and knee pads.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' CHILL! AS STRONG MAD SMASHES MARZIPAN'S GUITAR OVER HOMESTAR'S HEAD!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's do this like Brutus.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' RECOIL IN HORROR!

''{Strong Mad raises the guitar. As he starts to bring it down, cut to the Poopsmith tossing out multicolored smoke bombs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' AS THE POOPSMITH LIGHTS SOME SMOKE BOMBS! AND THEN?

''{Several silhouetted pieces of [[Whatsit|whatsit]] and a question mark appear on screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO BE THERE TO FIND OUT!

''{The Poopsmith winks at the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ADULT ADMISSION IS STILL JUST FIVE DOLLARS! KIDS AND OLD PEOPLE—

''{The Sad Kids and the King of Town appear on screen, then are respectively crossed out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT A BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN—

''{A bucket of KnF'nC chicken appears onscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' FOR MEEEEE!

''{An image of Strong Bad appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, with changes in pitch between words}'' STICK AROUND... AFTER THE SHOW... FOR A FREE PERFORMANCE... BY LIMOZEEN!

''{Cut to a photo of Limozeen}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' ''{singing}'' I've got the heart of a lion and the wings of a bat, because it's midnite!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386 and Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Heart of a lion, wings of some stuff, because it's something! ''{stops singing}'' Oh-ho man, I love that song! ''{typing}'' I can't wait for this sunday ''{pause}'' sunday ''{pause}'' someday.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

''AWEXOME CROSS 98''

* At the end, click on the first "Sunday" to bring up a flyer advertisement for the show. The Awexome Cross 98 theme song plays in the background.

<blockquote>
>SUNDAY 
>AWEXOME 
>CROSS 
>98 
>LIVE IN STRONGBADIA 
>Thrills! Chills! Syrup! 
>Also, too: 
>A live performance by 
>LIMOZEEN
</blockquote>

* Click on the second "Sunday" to play [[Awexome Cross]].

https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/a/ad/Limozeentruck.PNG/200px-Limozeentruck.PNG

''Because it's midnite!''

* Click on the "Someday" to see an autographed [[Limozeen]] picture. "Because, It's Midnite" is sung in the background. The autograph reads "YO SB!! keep on zeenin!"

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===

* This is the first email to include The Poopsmith in person (he was only on a playing card in [[your friends]]).
* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Awexome Cross 98! This SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SOMEDAY! Limozeen drops they numba one jam 'Because, It's Midnite' on an unsuspecting public!"

=== Remarks ===

* For some reason, in the picture of Limozeen, there are four extra hands floating around the band members. One is in front of [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] and [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]], one behind Perry, one behind [[Gary Palaroncini|Gary]] and the last one behind Larry.
* In the "Awexome Cross" ad and the "someday" Easter egg, the bass player plays his first note a step too high, then corrects himself on the second beat.
* As with a few other cartoons on the website, the King of Town is oddly using an older design for this email.
* The Paper comes down slightly faster than most other emails.
* Strong Bad doesn't capitalize either Sunday when he types them.
* The King of Town apparently had to give Strong Bad a bucket of chicken to get in, despite the fact that he is part of the show.

=== Goofs ===

* The shadow of the fence starts a fair distance out from the fence itself, and the shadow for the end of the fence is strangely jagged.

=== Inside References ===

* "Toons! Games! I'm gonna check my eeeemail..." is a reference to the [[Main Pages]].
* Strong Bad calls one of the email's authors "[[Dan]]" instead of "Stan".
* The King of Town's syrup-covered [[Cardboard Boxes|cardboard box]] is another example of [[Eating Non-Food Items|eating non-food items]].
* This is the first time [[Guns N' Roses]] is referenced.
* A KnF'nC bucket of [[Chicken|chicken]] appears in the toon.

=== Real-World References ===

* A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" or any word repeated, as if an echo, is a common style of advertising used for [[monster truck|monster truck events]]. It was first popularized by motorsport announcer [[Jan C. Gabriel]].
* The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is similar to the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil [[Evel Knievel]] during his famous motorcycle jumps. However, in design (specifically, the red and blue head-to-toe piping with stars) it is actually closer to the jumpsuit worn by hapless stuntman [[Super Dave Osborne]]. The image of The Cheat inside the tire is also a possible allusion to one of Super Dave's more famous (and disastrous) stunts, where he rode in the center of a giant yo-yo.
* The bottles of maple syrup around the cardboard box are designed similarly to those of [[Mrs. Butterworth's]], a famous syrup brand.
* The line "Let's do this like Brutus" comes from [http://www.lyricsdepot.com/de-la-soul/skit-1.html a skit] on the [[De La Soul]] album ''[[De La Soul Is Dead]]'', itself a reference to [[Public Enemy]] song "[[Bring the Noise]]".
* The chicken bucket that says "KnF'nC" combines [[Kentucky Fried Chicken]] with a reference to [[Guns N' Roses]], who used the abbreviation "Gn[[Swears|F'n]]R" during the ''[[Use Your Illusion]]'' era. The 2000-2004 incarnation of the band contained guitarist [[Buckethead]], who wears a KFC bucket on his head like a hat.

=== Fast Forward ===

* The Limozeen song "[[Because, It's Midnite]]" would eventually appear on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]].
* The King of Town would later hold the chicken bucket in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
* "Awexome Cross 98" is available on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current game menu]] with more levels.
* In [[Strong Badia the Free]], a surprisingly eloquent Homsar utters the phrase "Let's do this like Brutus" after Strong Bad temporarily gains the ability to understand his "language".

=== Commentary Transcript ===

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

'''MATT:''' We were just discussing, uh, how there are some Strong Bad Emails that really tip their hand, uh, with the name of them—

'''MIKE:''' The— The title, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, like this one.

'''MIKE:''' You kind of know what it's going to be about.

'''MATT:''' ''{almost simultaneously}'' Know what it's going to be about. Yeah. ''{pause}'' This is—was this the first instan—nah, I guess he's always getting people's names wrong. That's a common theme.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if that's—I don't know if he's—this... Maybe this is the first time.

'''MATT:''' Who knows?

'''MIKE:''' Somebody, uh, let us know. One of you callers. One of our callers will probably let us know.

'''MATT:''' Mike, we don't have callers.

'''MIKE:''' We should, uh, have a radio show.

'''MATT:''' Mike, no.

'''MIKE:''' This should—this is a radio show.

'''MATT:''' It's not.

'''MIKE:''' ''{adopts gravelly voice}'' All right, all right.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Uhm...

'''MATT:''' So here we go. That's The Cheat in his Evel Knievel outfit, obviously, which our mom made us for, uh—or made our ''oldest'' brother first for Halloween—

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' —and then I think it got passed down to all of us. I think in, like, 1987, I was wearing an Evel Knievel ''{Mike laughs}'' and like, I didn't know that he wasn't very popular anymore. And he says "Let's do this like Brutus" there, not "Buddhists". A lot of people think he says that, but that's just a, uh... comment. It's in a De La Soul song or it's on the De La Soul album ''De La Soul is Dead''. Doesn't Flavor Flav say it at some point?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.

'''MATT:''' KnF'nC. That's a reference to GnF'nR, Drivin N Cryin.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckling}'' That's—

'''MATT:''' That's—all four of those are our br—big brother Donnie, very seriously in the year 1987 dressed as Vince Neil for Halloween. There you have it. And then a bunch of extra limbs.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' And of course, there you go. Limozeen given... wings... wings of steel, ''{Mike laughs}'' you know, with which to fly.

=== Fun Facts ===

* The first email in which Strong Bad refers to [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|the sender]] by an incorrect name is actually [[invisibility]], in which he calls sin studly17 "dumb name" — though he had given senders nicknames and had misspelled or mispronounced names prior to this.
* [[Evel Knievel]] was a stunt performer known for attempting daredevil ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. He retired from stunt jumps in 1977 (making his final stunt show appearance in 1980), hence Matt's comment about Knievel's relative lack of popularity by 1987.
* [[Drivin N Cryin]] is a Southern rock band from Atlanta, [[Georgia]].
* [[Vince Neil]] is the lead singer for the band [[Mötley Crüe]].
* "Wings of steel" combined with the lyric "wings of a bat" refer to the 1960s cartoon ''[[Batfink]]'', whose eponymous hero is a crime-fighting bat with steel wings.
