*** That makes more sence when you consider Strong Bad didn't become massive when he tried to flush himself at the end of the episode. You might say he didn't fit, but then that brings up how Bubs fit in his toilet. Clearly SB needs to buy some chicken wings.

** When Bubs admits he supermutated by flushing himself down the toilet, he leaves the big questions - why and how - really vague, we know only that he was shaving, and boom! He's down the can, and suddenly grows 100ft tall. I always assumed he knocked the chicken wings into the toilet and dove in after them.

** Because Kashi is the opposite of supermutating chicken wings, so it unsupermutatd him
even if it wasn't using chicken wings to do so. Wrap your head around that one.

*In Fan Club, Strong Sad mentions Bubs' first wife, but doesn't describe her beyond saying "She was a real firebrand, that one." I can't be the only person wondering what she was like, right?

** The lecture is a front, to make the public ''think'' the DNA evidence was lost forever, as well as to hide his ulterior motive ("Why was Strong Sad doing all these interviews about DNA evidence?" "Oh, he's just cosplaying as a detective").

** Considering episodes like "love poem" and "April Fools 2014", Strong Bad probably hates Homestar a lot less than he's willing to admit. As for the Dangeresque part, the whole series is [[HerCodenameWasMarySue Strong Bad's wish fulfillment]]; he's too focused on making himself look awesome, so he's probably not paying attention to whether Homestar's scenes are accidentally awesome.

* In DNA Evidence, why is Strong Sad the one doing the investigation and the report when it's '''HIS''' DNA evidence that is in question? And he obviously knew that it was his DNA Evidence, because he somehow kidnapped the dirty towel, got all the DNA Evidence off of it, and put it back in a tube which he then hid. So why did he even bother? And why is he telling Homsar anything about it?

** It's entirely possible that Coach Z recorded the song and ''then'' approached The Cheat about making a music video for it without helping during the animation, meaning that if The Cheat wanted to add a non-rap introduction, he'd have to provide the voices himself.

*** It's a {{claymation}} movie, and when you realize that the 23-minute [[WallaceAndGromit "A Grand Day Out"]] took ''six years'' to make, that kidna gives some reason as to why TBC are doing almost nothing with H*R. There's a difference between waggling Strong Bad's head to an audio track and having to remember what actions were going in what direction for all the on screen activity. Imagine working 12 hours on just a few minutes of run time only to realize you accidently shortened dialogue motion which would make lip sync impossible or did some movement backward or in the wrong direction for a couple days.

** As it's been said, Mike does the animation, writing, and was one of the creators in its earliest incarnation before Matt started working on it. As far as he voice acting is concerned, the Homestar Runner Wiki says he does: all Powered by The Cheat characters , the announcer in Where's the Cheat?, announcer #2 in Strong Bad Sings, Pom Pom (a sound clip of him blowing bubbles in milk), Blue Laser Babies, The Knight, The Worm, Teeg Dougland, Strong Sad (in "cheat talk"), That Time of Year narrator, Shark-Tooth Bubs, Videlectrix Programmer Number Two, Craig in Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, and The Exact Same. He also appears as a handful of the live action characters (ie: a member of Taranchula, a Videlectrix programmer, himself), though Matt does a large chunk of that as well.

** The most logical explanation would be that he got tired of answering e-mails, particularly since if the numbers are to be believed he answered ''thousands'' of them in only a little bit longer than the time it took for Strong Bad to answer 200.

* I can't put my finger on it, but something felt...wrong with the "Strong Sad's a dork" jokes in the last five Strong Bad Emails. I know Strong Bad made fun of him a billion times before, but for some reason, the mocking he did in these particular Emails bothered me more than usual. Did it feel like overkill to mock him in five consecutive episodes? (They ''did'' feel especially unncessesary in the last two.) Did I like Strong Sad more than I thought? Did anyone else feel something wrong?
** Firstly, while it's a valid observation, it doesn't really constitute a Headscratcher/IJBM. Secondly, it might just be that TBC wanted to focus more on that aspect of Strong Bad and Strong Sad's relationship, and so are hammering the point a little more than usual.
