== Biography ==
Strong Bad tries to prove that Marzipan loves him.


'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl|the only female character]] among the [[Characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]].  She is tall and thin, with her elongated head a pinkish color.  Her eyes consist of two black circles of [[Mismatched Eyes|two different sizes]].  Her mouth was originally a 'U' shape, which still appears on occasion, but more often than not is usually seen now as a slight curve.  She wears her hair in a bright blonde ponytail, and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons, along with a matching hair band. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well.  She is voiced by [[Missy Palmer]] and is one of the few characters not voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]]


''Is that 3D eco-friendly?''
'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]


Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|girlfriend]] (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for [[date]] that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage). Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their dating no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, and gone out with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]] in [[Date Nite]], some of which were due to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. Other such times involve Homestar's unintentional mean streak; he has even been known to show feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.
'''Date:''' Monday, January 20, 2003


Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all this, she is very kind and is friends with almost everyone (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she really doesn't like Strong Bad at all[#endnote_1 [1]]), such as when she helped [[Strong Sad]] make baklava while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|Strong Bad was in jail]]; however, she does sometimes think only of herself, most notably when she ignored [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2|seven years' worth of calls]] just to play a prank on Strong Bad. With Marzipan being the only girl as well as Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|on-again, off-again girlfriend]], Strong Bad tends to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0|assert his autonomous romantic life]] to her [[senior prom|(as well as to other characters)]] to assuage his ego.  It's possible that Strong Bad has an unrequited crush on Marzipan expressed through his immature antics, although he has indicated [[Date Nite|his disgust for her]] in the past.

''"I'm off to the Chinchilla protest."''
'''DVD:'''[[strongbad email.exe Disc Two]]


[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt"[#endnote_2 [2]].  She is vegan — she especially enjoys [[Tofu|tofu]] and other soy products (though in the email [[coloring]] she teaches that "soy is also murder") — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes [[Marzipan's Protest Signs|protest signs]] to express her views on issues of varying and personal interest.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There once was a man named email, and he did his best for a while.


''Marzipan relaxes''
''{Reading email}''


Marzipan has been mistaken for a baseball bat, a bell, and especially a [[Marzipan Being Compared to a Broom|broom]].  A rip in her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that her body may actually be shaped like a bell, a fact which is supported by her costume in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] and her tracks in the snow in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]]. By contrast, many emails, such as [[secret recipes]], [[date]], [[secret identity]] and [[keep cool]], show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[big white face]], Strong Bad mentions that her head is like a baseball bat. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[high school]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]] from [[Scooby-Doo]], but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true. Though she is often mistaken for such distinctly shaped objects, Strong Bad refers to Marzipan as "[[Human|human]]" in [[retirement]].
<blockquote>
>Strong Bad,<br />
>So, if you're so good with the ladies,<br />
>how come I never see you with any? The<br />
>only female I've seen even near you is<br />
>Marzipan, and she doesn't seem to<br />
>like you very much.<br />
><br />
>Ok, bye.<br />
>Emily C., Ohio
</blockquote>


Marzipan has a tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, she talks to her guitar, [[Carol]], asks [[Strong Sad]] to  help resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], and once names an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]", proceeding to treat it as though it were a small child. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] from [[The Luau]] and [[The Cheat]]'s costume from the email [[do over]]. Also, in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different entities, including a strange clone of herself. Upon such instances, Marzipan tends to show more affection to (and quite possibly ''receives'' more positive attention ''from'') these pseudo-Homestars than she does her real boyfriend. It is unclear if this reflects a desire to change or replace her current beloved, although she believes her relationship with Homestar has always been open[#endnote_3 [3]].
''{Strong Bad stumbles with the second sentence, saying "The only female I've eev see sageento—". He starts the sentence over, this time without stumbling. Also, he pronounces "Ohio" as "Owa-hoh"}''


Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects.  For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh Yeah Yeah]]". She has also teamed up with both The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]] and [[Sultry Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady fan|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter.  She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a cult-like "[[School|kindergarten]]" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and [[Homsar]]. In [[DNA Evidence]], it is said that she is allergic to pecans. She also takes a Toga-Yoga class, which is led by Bubs.
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What are you talkin about, Emily? Marzipan can't keep her hands offa me! In fact, I had to change my screen name cause she was buggin me so much. ''{clears screen}'' I'd be like, tryin' to write an email like... ''{typing}'' "Dear The Cheat" ''{stops typing}'' And then—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, I'm Marzipan, and this is my guitar Carol. Say hi, Carol. ''{performs an E major scale, ascending and descending}'' Ooh, E scale. Nice choice. When I'm not rockin' out, I like to dig in my garden and eat. I'm a fiercely independent woman, and I'm fiercely independent about the soy products that I choose. Homestar Runner and I ''{Homestar leans in frame}'' are one hot item when I say we are. ''{says one of the two at random}''
'''STRONG BAD:''' — "if I could borrow"—

'''MARZIPAN:''' I like baby animals, and cats and dogs. But it makes me sad to see cats and dogs in the same room together. Okay, bye. I'm off to the Chinchilla protest.
'''STRONG BAD:''' — "that big knife"
''{She pulls out a protest sign that reads "Chinchillas OUT!! (of my basement)" and walks away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, it's about you.
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' About being in love with me?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' That's disgusting. And I don't like your outfit.
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not telling you my new screen name.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... I don't even know what a scream name is, so there you go. And if you'd please leave now, because I'm tinkering with my guitar.
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, well? Say you like me.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' No, leave me alone.
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Say you like me?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' No.
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Then do you like ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Bad?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' No! You're just saying your name fast. Go away.
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' What about that guy who's brothers with Strong Mad and ''{quickly and quietly}'' Strong Sad?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' That's still you! No!
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Then how about this one? Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?

* The [[Old Characters Page]], now in the [[Museum|museum]], said The King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] have since reported in interviews (such as [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]]) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
''Don't decode this''
** In the [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview]], this [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe|inconsistency]] was explained as a [[Retcon|retcon]]. When asked about the "rumors" of Marzipan being the King of Town's daughter, Marzipan herself replied that, "Those allegations are completely false. The King was trying to make himself look better by association. That poor man. That poor fat, filthy man."
*** Even the King of Town seems surprised to learn about this alleged connection in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], casting Marzipan's explanation into doubt.
* [[Marzipan]] is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds.
* In an interview with Wired magazine, Missy Palmer said that Marzipan started out as a hippie, but over time her personality has changed to match Missy's own.
* The character page title is a reference to Marzipan's song "Oh yeah yeah" from the email [[marzipan]].
* According to Strong Bad, Marzipan is allergic to pecans.
* Marzipan has a cousin named [[Debra]] whom Strong Bad said he considered hot in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
** Marzipan also has a sister, according to Homestar in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]].
* As revealed in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], she has apparently had [[Questionable Services|questionable surgery]] to have her nose removed.
* In [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], Homestar refers to Marzipan's mother as "Mrs. Marzipan", and implies that she is frequently divorced. Marzipan says her latest stepfather is named Seth and works in a "philosophy department", presumably at a university.
* Marzipan's only known visible body part is her head, and [[Kick-A-Ball]] reveals that none of her limbs are visible.
* Strong Bad says that Marzipan has a "considerable resistance to death" in [[origins]] after being super-glued to Homsar and left for dead.


== Relationships ==
* The Webdings message transliterates to:'''hooray4dolphins:''' i seriou<br />sly hope you<br />didn't somehow<br />decode this. it<br />would make me real<br />sad.
* According to the [[Atlanta Journal Constitution Interview - 21 Jul 2003|July 21, 2003 Atlanta Journal Constitution interview]], Strong Sad's message is a reference to how [[Mike Chapman]] once tried to feed his brother [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] cupcakes with toothpaste in them, only to have the younger brother retaliate with vinegar toast.
* When this email first came out, [[The Brothers Chaps]] registered the AIM screen name hooray4dolphins. It was always online with an away message, saying that Marzipan wasn't really using that screen name, since she doesn't use computers.
* This email marks the first appearance of Marzipan's guitar [[Carol]]. She had previously been seen in [[The Luau]] playing a ukulele with an M on it.
* This is another reference to Marzipan being [[The Only Girl|the only girl]].
* The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Quadruple negatives abound as Strong Bad tries to get Marzipan to admit she likes him."


''Main article: [[Character Relationships]]''
=== Remarks ===


* [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]
* Strong Bad says that "Marzipan can't keep her hands offa" him, but Marzipan [[Lack of Visible Arms|doesn't have any visible hands]].
* [[Strong Bad and Marzipan's Relationship]]
* Besides "Do you like Strong Bad", the [[Double negative|quadruple negative]] "Don't not dislike not Strong Bad" could be interpreted to mean that Marzipan dislikes everyone except Strong Bad, rather than specifically liking him.
* [[Marzipan and The Cheat's Relationship]]
* In The Cheat's video, Marzipan's guitar reads "Carl" instead of "Carol".
* [[Marzipan and Strong Sad's Relationship]]
* In the close-up shots of Marzipan and Strong Bad, the field behind them is a much older version of the current field.
* [[Strong Mad and Marzipan's Relationship]]
* [[Marzipan and Coach Z's Relationship]]
* [[Marzipan and Bubs's Relationship]]

** Strong Bad's reflection is also not visible in the IMs, even though they are the same color as the screen.
* [[Cardboard Marzipan]]
* Also, after Strong Sad's message pops up, if Marzipan's video is viewed, Strong Sad's message reappears afterwards.
* Marzipan Alien Cow ([[narrator]])

'''MIKE:''' Marzipan.
 
'''MATT:''' Speaking of Marzipan, look who's here.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, guys.
 
'''MIKE:''' Hi—
 
'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Hi, Marzipan.
 
'''MIKE:''' How does it feel to be featured in your very own Strong Bad Email?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' It feels about normal.
 
'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.
 
'''MATT:''' It's got your name. It's got your name all over it.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.
 
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Look, there it is, I'm pointing to it right now.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' I see. I, uh—I thought this was a particularly thoughtful email.
 
'''MIKE:''' Yeah?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' And, um, I thought the costume design was very good.
 
'''MIKE:''' There's... Yeah?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' My—my outfit.
 
'''MIKE:''' It's the same one you're always wearing.
 
'''MATT:''' Well... It's a good outfit, right?
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Well... Sometimes I change.
 
'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.
 
'''MATT:''' Oh, an interesting note about that last one that popped up was, uh, it spelled out something, and, what was it—
 
'''MIKE:''' It was in, like—
 
'''MATT:''' —it spelled out "I really hope you didn't translate this. That would make me sad." And of course—
 
'''MIKE:''' And it was in, like, Webdings—
 
'''MATT:''' Yeah.
 
'''MIKE:''' Or some Dingbats or something and people translated it.
 
'''MATT:''' It made me really sad.
 
'''MIKE:''' Yeah.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you notice you reversed my eyes on this one?
 
'''MATT:''' I—look, I—
 
'''MIKE:''' I think they are—
 
'''MATT:''' I don't know...
 
'''MIKE:''' I think we did something wrong.
 
'''MATT:''' But they'd be—make sense in perspective, right? The smaller eyes...
 
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' But that wasn't why—that's not why...
 
'''MATT:''' She just has one—one eye smaller than the other?
 
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah, just like Strong... Just like Strong Ma—er, uh...
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' That's why I get confused later, because I can barely see Strong Bad while I'm talking to him.
 
'''MATT:''' Oh-ho! See, Mike, it's ''your'' fault. You put her eyes on backwards.
 
'''MIKE:''' Well... uh, we'll look into that.
 
'''MARZIPAN:''' Plus everyone forgot to bring the birds in that day, so no one showed up. There were no extras.

STRONG BAD: There once was a man named email, and he did his best for a while.

{Reading email}

>Strong Bad,
>So, if you're so good with the ladies,
>how come I never see you with any? The
>only female I've seen even near you is
>Marzipan, and she doesn't seem to
>like you very much.
>
>Ok, bye.
>Emily C., Ohio

{Strong Bad stumbles with the second sentence, saying "The only female I've eev see sageento—". He starts the sentence over, this time without stumbling. Also, he pronounces "Ohio" as "Owa-hoh"}

STRONG BAD: {typing} What are you talkin about, Emily? Marzipan can't keep her hands offa me! In fact, I had to change my screen name cause she was buggin me so much. {clears screen} I'd be like, tryin' to write an email like... {typing} "Dear The Cheat" {stops typing} And then—

{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: 'sup strong bad? i heart you so much."}

STRONG BAD: — it'd come up, and I'd be like close the window. {closes message, continues typing} "Anyways, The Cheat, I was going"—

{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: i like all your muscles," Strong Bad closes it}

STRONG BAD: — "to ask you"—

{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: do you go hooray 4 dolphins? i do," Strong Bad closes it}

STRONG BAD: — "if I could borrow"—

{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: (a long string of characters typed in Webdings font)," Strong Bad closes it}

STRONG BAD: — "that big knife"—

{message comes up: "hooray4dolphins: are you trying to fade me?," Strong Bad closes it, clears the screen, and continues typing}

STRONG BAD: And if that's not enough proof {types "enüff prüf"}, just watch this...

{Scene cuts to Marzipan out in the field next to a sign laying against a cinder block saying Free Concert For Birds}

MARZIPAN: {singing} Oh yeah, oh yeah, and I really don't like him at all.

STRONG BAD: So, uh... {Combs back nonexistent "hair" and puts his comb into the back of his pants} Is that another song about Homestar?

MARZIPAN: No, it's about you.

STRONG BAD: About being in love with me?

MARZIPAN: That's disgusting. And I don't like your outfit.

STRONG BAD: Well, I'm not telling you my new screen name.

MARZIPAN: Well... I don't even know what a scream name is, so there you go. And if you'd please leave now, because I'm tinkering with my guitar.

STRONG BAD: Oh yeah, well? Say you like me.

MARZIPAN: No, leave me alone.

STRONG BAD: Say you like me?

MARZIPAN: No.

STRONG BAD: Then do you like {quickly and quietly} Strong Bad?

MARZIPAN: No! You're just saying your name fast. Go away.

STRONG BAD: What about that guy who's brothers with Strong Mad and {quickly and quietly} Strong Sad?

MARZIPAN: That's still you! No!

STRONG BAD: Then how about this one? Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?

MARZIPAN: Uh... I guess...

STRONG BAD: See! I told you you loved me! Ooh! I knew it all along! Wait until my friend Emily from Ohio {pronounces it "O-hee-oh"} hears this!!! Oooh, I knew she loves me! {gibberish}

MARZIPAN: Whatever... Come on Carol, let's rock.

{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad's computer room. Three messages pop up from The Cheat:}

cheatachu72: yo SB! you there? you still want that knife?
cheatachu72: ello?
cheatachu72: i gots to jet. makin' a video for a client
cheatachu72 has signed off {sign off is punctuated by a vocalized imitation of AOL Instant Messenger's sign off sound}

{The Paper comes down.}

{After a while, a message pops up from Strong Sad:}

depressio111117: vinegar toast? did you really think i'd fall for that?

Easter Eggs

  • At the end, click on "video for a client" in The Cheat's last message to see a Powered by The Cheat music video for Marzipan's song. See also the visuals from the music video.

MARZIPAN: Come on, Carol, let's rock. {Marzipan sings:} Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah And I really don't like him at all. MARZIPAN: Thank you! {Birds chirp} Those are the birds.

Fun Facts

Trivia

180px-don%27t_decode_this.png

Don't decode this

  • The Webdings message transliterates to:hooray4dolphins: i seriou
    sly hope you
    didn't somehow
    decode this. it
    would make me real
    sad.
  • According to the July 21, 2003 Atlanta Journal Constitution interview, Strong Sad's message is a reference to how Mike Chapman once tried to feed his brother Matt cupcakes with toothpaste in them, only to have the younger brother retaliate with vinegar toast.
  • When this email first came out, The Brothers Chaps registered the AIM screen name hooray4dolphins. It was always online with an away message, saying that Marzipan wasn't really using that screen name, since she doesn't use computers.
  • This email marks the first appearance of Marzipan's guitar Carol. She had previously been seen in The Luau playing a ukulele with an M on it.
  • This is another reference to Marzipan being the only girl.
  • The YouTube description for this email is "Quadruple negatives abound as Strong Bad tries to get Marzipan to admit she likes him."

Remarks

  • Strong Bad says that "Marzipan can't keep her hands offa" him, but Marzipan doesn't have any visible hands.
  • Besides "Do you like Strong Bad", the quadruple negative "Don't not dislike not Strong Bad" could be interpreted to mean that Marzipan dislikes everyone except Strong Bad, rather than specifically liking him.
  • In The Cheat's video, Marzipan's guitar reads "Carl" instead of "Carol".
  • In the close-up shots of Marzipan and Strong Bad, the field behind them is a much older version of the current field.

Glitches

  • If you turn up the contrast at the very end of the email when the IMs are on the screen, the IM boxes don't change with the rest of the screen. They just stay black.
    • Strong Bad's reflection is also not visible in the IMs, even though they are the same color as the screen.
  • Also, after Strong Sad's message pops up, if Marzipan's video is viewed, Strong Sad's message reappears afterwards.
  • Marzipan blinks over her closed eyes twice; when this happens, a dot appears next to her closed eyes.

Inside References

Real-World References

  • The IM boxes that pop up on Strong Bad's computer look like those seen in Microsoft Windows 3.X, which definitely fits with Strong Bad's computer, as the 3.X series was made for the then-state-of-the-art 386 PCs.
  • This email is the second time The Cheat's screen name, which is cheatachu72, is seen. This is a reference to the Pokémon Pikachu, with whom The Cheat shares a likeness.
  • Marzipan's supposed screen name, "hooray4dolphins", is an example of Internet Slang.

Fast Forward

DVD Version

  • The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
    • The commentary continues into the "Oh Yeah Yeah" music video Easter egg.

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman, Marzipan)

MIKE: Marzipan.

MATT: Speaking of Marzipan, look who's here.

MARZIPAN: Hi, guys.

MIKE: Hi—

MATT: {simultaneously} Hi, Marzipan.

MIKE: How does it feel to be featured in your very own Strong Bad Email?

MARZIPAN: It feels about normal.

MATT AND MIKE: {simultaneously} Yeah.

MARZIPAN: Yeah.

MATT: It's got your name. It's got your name all over it.

MARZIPAN: Yeah.

MIKE: {simultaneously} Look, there it is, I'm pointing to it right now.

MARZIPAN: I see. I, uh—I thought this was a particularly thoughtful email.

MIKE: Yeah?

MARZIPAN: And, um, I thought the costume design was very good.

MIKE: There's... Yeah?

MARZIPAN: My—my outfit.

MIKE: It's the same one you're always wearing.

MATT: Well... It's a good outfit, right?

MARZIPAN: Well... Sometimes I change.

MIKE: Oh, okay.

MATT: Oh, an interesting note about that last one that popped up was, uh, it spelled out something, and, what was it—

MIKE: It was in, like—

MATT: —it spelled out "I really hope you didn't translate this. That would make me sad." And of course—

MIKE: And it was in, like, Webdings—

MATT: Yeah.

MIKE: Or some Dingbats or something and people translated it.

MATT: It made me really sad.

MIKE: Yeah.

MARZIPAN: Did you notice you reversed my eyes on this one?

MATT: I—look, I—

MIKE: I think they are—

MATT: I don't know...

MIKE: I think we did something wrong.

MATT: But they'd be—make sense in perspective, right? The smaller eyes...

MIKE: {simultaneously} But that wasn't why—that's not why...

MATT: She just has one—one eye smaller than the other?

MIKE: {simultaneously} Yeah, just like Strong... Just like Strong Ma—er, uh...

MARZIPAN: That's why I get confused later, because I can barely see Strong Bad while I'm talking to him.

MATT: Oh-ho! See, Mike, it's your fault. You put her eyes on backwards.

MIKE: Well... uh, we'll look into that.

MARZIPAN: Plus everyone forgot to bring the birds in that day, so no one showed up. There were no extras.

MIKE: Uh, I don't think anyone wanted to hear your song, maybe.

MATT: Mmm, it was a pretty good song.

MIKE: Di— how was the, uh, did you market it very much? That concert? What promoter did you use?

MATT: {simultaneously} Pass out flyers?

MARZIPAN: Well...

MATT: Go down to the Whole Foods?

MARZIPAN: You've got to realize this is all acting. You know, this is just not what I usually do.

MATT: What do you usually do?

MARZIPAN: Well I'm usually gardening.

MATT: So is—is the playing a guitar all just part of your character?

MARZIPAN: Yeah. I mean, I play it sometimes, but...for this, you know. I'm—I have a much better guitar than that, usually.

MATT: {laughs} What's its name?

MIKE: {simultaneously} Carol... Is that just a prop?

MARZIPAN: It is a prop.

MATT: What's your guitar's name?

MARZIPAN: Uh, Joan.

MIKE: Carol and Joan, huh?

Easter Egg Commentary

MIKE: So here's your video...Marzipan.

MATT: The Cheat misspelled the name of your—your prop guitar there.

MIKE: Yeah, he calls it Carl.

MARZIPAN: I know, I know. That's okay.

MATT: Did you help, like, do the art direction on this one?

MIKE: {almost simultaneously} Have you ever been before?

MARZIPAN: Uh, uh, I did actually. I—I like The Cheat a lot. {slight pause} See? There was only one bird there.

Fun Facts

  • Whole Foods is a grocery store specializing in organic food (the kind of place Marzipan would shop).
