After buying an item from the [[Store]], you were once taken to one of four '''Store Thank You Messages'''. Which one you got depended both on the time on your computer clock and luck of the draw. If you tried to access the page without buying anything, you were taken to a fifth bonus page. After the toon played, you were automatically redirected back to the Store Front Page. The videos were removed on October 9, 2008.
A '''Store Thank You Message''' was shown to customers who made a purchase from the [[Yahoo Store]]. Four short toons were in rotation, influenced by the time from the user's computer clock and random chance. If the page was accessed without being forwarded from making a purchase, an alternate fifth toon would play. After the toon finished, the browser automatically redirected back to the Store main page.
 
The videos were no longer implemented as of October 9, 2008. Since at least September 2, 2017, the page and Flash file have been wholly deleted from the site — attempting to access its historic URL only results in a [[Neon 404'd]].

A Store Thank You Message was shown to customers who made a purchase from the Yahoo Store. Four short toons were in rotation, influenced by the time from the user's computer clock and random chance. If the page was accessed without being forwarded from making a purchase, an alternate fifth toon would play. After the toon finished, the browser automatically redirected back to the Store main page.

The videos were no longer implemented as of October 9, 2008. Since at least September 2, 2017, the page and Flash file have been wholly deleted from the site — attempting to access its historic URL only results in a Neon 404'd.

Cast (in order of appearance): Bubs, Strong Bad, The Cheat, Homestar Runner, Marzipan

Places: Bubs' Concession Stand, Smoky Office, The Field, Homestar Runner's House, Flash Plugin Page

Date: Monday, May 23, 2005
