== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! ''{presses enter}'' ''{singing}'' Da-doot doot doot Dear, Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering—''{stops singing}'' Ahhh, I can't keep this up.

<blockquote>
>subject: portrait
>Dear Strong Bad- 
>I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
>paint a portrait of your greatness. 
>guess what, it's- 
>Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
>Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.) I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad, in a long-haired wig, a beret, and a toga, holding a toy stick with a duck's head on the end. The painting is in a gold frame, with a museum placard beside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top, wearing a black mask, skullcap, and a t-shirt reading "4rt b4ndit". He places a stencil over the painting and paints a "robotank", along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK", in pink spray paint.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thanks, little buddy! Now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{obliging The Cheat noises; salutes}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a black-and-white newspaper. An image of Strong Bad in a suit and tie and holding a large cell phone is in the center.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines! Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse code. ''{imitating Morse code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I a-am ho-o-olding a real-ly ol-d cel-l-l pho-o-one.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased—

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for—Whoa!—

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a poster of a unicorn on a snowmobile with the caption "Born to be danged!!!". Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen and in a groggy voice}'' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing a relief-bust of Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Classical music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. A sticker on the left side reads "Great Thyme". Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee!

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{slams the glitter down}'' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a wooden cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man's abdominal muscles are in the shape of the letters "SB", and he is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from ''{pronounced "way I'm fum"}'', and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical keyswordtar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

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

''"Strong Badman and Deutschman are both finished!!!"''

* Click the white card beside the portrait by the Deutsch Master to see an "Adventures of [[Strong Badman]]" comic book. A "Deutsch Master" holding a paintbrush is silhouetted, standing over Strong Badman and Deutschman, who are both lying wounded on a pile of rubble.Enter... The Deutsch Master "Strong Badman and Deutschman are both '''finished!!!'''"
* Click the keyswordtar at the end to see a [[Printables|printable]] version of the robotank stencil The Cheat used to vandalize the painting.
* Click [[Lord Quackingstick]] at the end to see Strong Bad show off his keyswordtar to Homestar.

''{Cut to The Field with Homestar and Strong Bad holding the keyswordtar, his head still in the hole, although it has been broken off from the rest of the portrait.}''
'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so that's when I realized I don't even need Lamaze classes.
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, there's something different about you. Did you get a haircut?
'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but I did get this new keyswordtar. ''{imitates guitar riff, waves the keyswordtar around}'' Maow, maow, maoooooooow. ''{falsetto}'' Keyboard, keyboooooard. ''{normal}'' Maow, maow, maooooooooow. ''{falsetto}'' Fight some brigands!! ''{Homestar holds up a [[BMW Lighter|SAAB lighter]], Strong Bad's voice returns to normal}'' Maow Maow, Maoooow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-owwowwoww-whammy-barrrrruh.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===

* ''Deutsch'' is the [[German]] word for "German", but Strong Bad uses it as a play on ''Dutch''. (The similarity in sound has led to confusion about terms such as [[Pennsylvania Dutch]], who are actually of German descent.) "Dutch masters" is a general term for the famous Dutch artists of the 17th century, such as [[Rembrandt]] and [[Vermeer]].
* [[Falconry]] is the art or sport of training raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game.
* [[Lamaze]] is a relaxation technique designed to avoid the use of pain-killing drugs during childbirth.
* A [[Tremolo arm|whammy bar]] is a lever mounted to the bridge of a guitar and is used to bend the notes up or down.
* [[Thyme]] is the herb depicted on Strong Mad's "Great Thyme" sticker.
* The painting of Strong Bad described as "looking like Morse Code" is a reference to the Wall Street Journal's use of [[Hedcut|hedcuts]].

=== Trivia ===

* This email was sent in by wiki user [[User:NachoMan|NachoMan]].
* This email was released late Sunday night Atlanta time, but the website claimed that its release date was on Monday.
* The card next to the first portrait reads:

<blockquote>
>Strongio da Baddio 
>DaVantres 
>''c. 1658''
</blockquote>

''Cheap as Free Comics''

* If pronounced with all the umlauts Strong Bad had inserted, "True Master" would be pronounced TREU MEH-ster.

=== Remarks ===

* Strong Bad tells "Coolio da Fabio" to "quit making up nicknames for yourself". However, in [[english paper]], he actually recommends it, saying "it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit."
** Additionally, an Easter egg in [[retirement]] shows a list of nicknames Strong Bad made up for himself.
* Homestar's lighter in the keyswordtar Easter egg is a [[Saab]] lighter, in contrast to Strong Bad's [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]].
* The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
* Strong Bad's comment about "a useless Master of Fine Arts Degree" is a self-reference to [[Mike Chapman]]. Mike has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and, according to the [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview]], dropped out of graduate school because he felt that his photographic style was not commercially viable.
* The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
* In the scene where Strong Bad says "How did I get into this thing?", [[Lord Quackingstick]] is not there.
* The "really old cell phone" resembles the walkie-talkies from [[lunch special]].

=== Goofs ===

* Strong Bad mistypes his line "Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" The period should be outside the parentheses; Strong Bad types it inside.
* In the Easter egg, when Strong Bad is moving the wooden cutout of the keyswordtar around, the picture reverses direction.
* In the picture of Strong Bad holding the old cell phone, his arm is longer than usual.

=== Inside References ===

* Homestar's line "Thanks for breaking my moose lamp" is a reference to [[caper]], where he thanked Strong Bad and The Cheat for breaking his [[Cow Lamp|cow lamp]].
* The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
* The [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnawing]] pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
* Strong Bad has a similar blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad Main Page]].
* The [[School Paste]] in Strong Mad's room was first seen in [[Strong Sad's Room|Strong Sad's room]] in the Email [[depressio]].
* The tune that Strong Bad uses to sing the opening lines of the email is very similar to the background music of [[Fall Float Parade]].
* Strong Mad's box of "TendaRONi" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].
* The extra [[Heavy metal umlaut|umlauts]] in "Trüe Mästers" mirror those in "Witches' Brüe" from [[Halloween Fairstival]].
* [[Mulligatawny]] [[Stew|stew]], a kind of soup from [[Indian Food|India]], also appeared in the [[Experimental Film|DVD commentary for Experimental Film]].
** Also within the article, a [[Sweet Deals|sweet deal]] is mentioned.
* Deutschman, one of the characters on the [[Strong Badman]] comic cover, was created in [[haircut]].
* Keyswordtar is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "sword" and "[[Keytar|keytar]]" (which, in itself, is a portmanteau of keyboard and guitar).
* Strong Bad rejects the idea of hiring a kindergartner to make him a [[Macaroni|macaroni]] picture, because he would probably go to [[Prison|jail]].

=== Real-World References ===

* "TendaRONi" is a reference to the term "tenderoni" which has appeared in [[Tenderoni|quite a number of songs]] as slang for a young female love interest, most famously "[[Roni (song)|Roni]]" by Bobby Brown and "[[P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)|P.Y.T.]]" by Michael Jackson. This, in turn, is named after a real boxed pasta product that was discontinued in 1981.
* The Rad Rad Robotank is likely a double-reference to [[Transformers]] and the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Newgrounds_logo.svg Newgrounds.com logo]. The fact that it appears as a stencil is possibly a jab at Newgrounds' tendency to encourage people to place their [http://www.newgrounds.com/stickers/ promotional stickers] everywhere. It is also a reference to a British artist, [[Banksy]], who uses stencils and has also produced paintings which consist of modified forms of existing works of art.
* The black-and-white portrait of Strong Bad is a "[[Hedcut|hedcut]]", a type of drawing [http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/journal/ developed by] and used in ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' (which is probably the "rich-guy newspaper" he was referring to).
* [[Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
* Homestar holds up a [[Saab Automobile|Saab]] lighter during the Easter egg with Strong Bad.

=== Fast Forward ===

* The trailer with the black light poster of the unicorn is later revealed to be the one that [[Secret Identities|Vance Mudgeman]]'s family lives in in [[secret identity]].
* The Cheat's spray paint design later appears in the [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five|FBI warning]] for [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five]].
* In [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Bad again refers to Dutch Masters, wondering why they never did wood burning art.

== YouTube Version ==

* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to figure what art style is most worthy of his visage."
* The Lord Quackingstick Easter egg plays automatically at the end.

== DVD Version ==

* The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch the DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===

'''MIKE:''' All right, I got a special surprise for you guys.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' I'm going to put Ryan in a full nelson ''{Ryan screaming}'' for this ''whole'' commentary. All right.

''{all laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' I'm ready.

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' Wooo!

'''MIKE:''' I've got the fingers locked, too.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' If you were Hercules Hernandez, Mike, this would be— curtains for Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I like how he was Hercules, he was — you know, they dropped the Hernandez after a while, he just became Hercules.

'''MATT:''' Right, right.

'''MIKE:''' They called him Herc. Gorilla Monsoon liked to call him Herc.

'''RYAN:''' The Herc!

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' Versus Billy Jack Haynes, I've got a trading card of that match.

'''MATT:''' How you doing down there, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' I'm doing all right. So there were wrestling trading cards?

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yep.

'''MIKE:''' That's my trading card actually.

'''MATT:''' Is it?

'''MIKE:''' Andy Cooper gave that to me.

'''MATT:''' Coopreme.

'''MIKE:''' It was fun to do, um— the portraits. I liked to do the Wall Street Journal one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. What do they call that? What's the name of those?

'''MIKE:''' I forget, there's uh—

'''RYAN:''' Dot matrix.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' The dot...

'''MIKE:''' Dot matrix. ''{laughs}'' Oh, look! It's like the beginning of the DVD.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it is!

'''MIKE:''' What's that guy's name?

'''RYAN:''' Banksy.

'''MATT:''' Banksy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' There was Banksy in that movie ''Children of Men'', that's supposed to take place in the future. Some guy has a bunch of banksy artwork in his futuristic home.

'''RYAN:''' Taggin'.

'''MIKE:''' So, I've still got Ryan in the full nelson.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' This is—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh yeah, how's it going down there, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' I don't—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'm gonna be— remain true to my word.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' I mean—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Can you even look at the... the computer?

'''RYAN:''' Sort of.

'''MATT:''' To see the DVD?

'''MIKE:''' I can... I can adjust my hold.

'''RYAN:''' Uh...

'''MATT:''' Does it hurt, Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' It's, uh, it's not comfortable, ''{Matt laughs}'' I'll tell you that much.

'''MIKE:''' All right, I can loosen it up a little bit.

'''RYAN:''' What? I mean— If you're in a full nelson, you've gotta feel it. ''{Mike laughs}'' You won't learn anything.

'''MATT:''' Uh, our [[Craig Zobel]]... made an amazing, uh... faux velvet painting of our friend Fabs from Germany for me one time.

'''MIKE:''' That was a good present.

'''MATT:''' That was a great present.

'''MIKE:''' I was jealous.

'''MATT:''' Hey look, there's a moose lamp. Is this the same place where Strong Bad's secret identity self lives?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, where he yells, he's got the... 5 o'clock shadow.

''{In the email, the Cold One Ice breaks the moose lamp}''

'''MATT:''' Oh! Look out!

'''RYAN:''' Is there paper you can print for a felt poster?

'''MATT:''' A black light poster?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I dunno.

'''RYAN:''' They should.

'''MIKE:''' I almost got a useless Master of Fine Arts degree.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' We know some people who have those.

'''MIKE:''' We've got several friends—

'''RYAN:''' Woo!

'''MIKE:''' I decided to call it quits after a year.

'''MATT:''' Look at that! Man, he's really going—

'''RYAN:''' He's making his own totem pole.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He is.

'''RYAN:''' We shoulda done it.

'''MATT:''' We— we were supposed to have done that, several years ago.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Who put up that sign? Did The Cheat put up that sign? Or is—

'''MIKE:''' No, it's always there. What are you talking about? ''{Matt starts to say something}'' That's where log-gnawing takes place.

'''MATT:''' Look— I like how there's the disgusting— The Cheat's spittle is— making the ground wet.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, a tender-roni.

''{pause}''

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Great Thyme!

'''MIKE:''' That'd be a good scratch and sniff sticker.

'''MATT:''' I like to spell "time" with a T-H-Y all... the time. All the thyme. ''{pronounces the "th"}''

'''RYAN:''' The Tham— Thames river.

'''MATT:''' How do you like Strong Mad's room, Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' I do— I like it a lot, I like the circles.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. It feels like that could— that could be a room in your house.

'''RYAN:''' It could be.

'''MATT:''' Ryan has—

'''RYAN:''' I ''{indistinguishable}'' the stripes.

'''MATT:''' Ryan has a nice paint job.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' "Some paint". "Some ''more'' paint".

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' It looks like— I think there's a real paint can that looks like that.

'''MATT:''' Ohh, nice.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' Ryan, if you could shape your six-pack into... into some letters, what would you have it say?

'''RYAN:''' Uh.. Strong— Stay— Stay cool.

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good message to send to people.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I want a Lord Quackingstick of my own, you guys.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Umm... how's the full nelson going, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' It's— it is sore.

'''MATT:''' It's starting to get sore?

'''MIKE:''' Whaddya think the longest full nelson ever is?

'''MATT:''' I dunno.

'''MIKE:''' I bet we're in the top— I bet we're in the top hundred here.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Why else would anyone—

'''RYAN:''' Do this.

'''MIKE:''' —do this for this long?

=== Fun Facts ===

* [[Ray Fernandez|Hercules Hernandez]] was a professional wrestler who used the [[full nelson]] as a finishing move. The "Billy" referenced is [[Billy Jack Haynes]]; the two wrestlers met at [[WrestleMania III]], and their grudge was over which one could perform the full nelson better.
