History Recap / StrongBadEmailE161FourBranches

** The soapbox from [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE63Fingers "fingers"]] makes another appearance, this time reading "FOURTEEN TIMES".

'''Mar:''' And you're a communist fool! (''takes a bite out of a tentacle in a hot dog bun'')

->'''Strong Bad:''' Well, my good Spank, that is ''way'' too broad a subject and would take several days just to scratch the surface of the tip of that iceberg. Especially the imagined part. That one has its own spreadsheet, even.

'''Homestar Runner:''' (''singing'') And that's how I become a laaaw! (''fireworks appear'') Ptoo! Ptoo! Ptoo!

-->'''Strong Bad:''' (''patriotic music starts playing'') So there you have it! Now it's up to you to make your own informed decisions about the stupidest things Homestar's done. Get involved, write a letter to your local Homestarman, or throw a trash can through a plate-glass window!\\

'''Strong Bad:''' Okay, that tells me ''everything'' I need to know.

A fan from "Nueva YorK" wants to know what the stupidest thing Homestar has ever said, done, or imagined is.

* '''The House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television''', which is "in charge of keeping the public informed" and involves Homestar being both host ''and'' guest on "his own 'You're a Bad Boyfriend' talk show", the Show AM.

* '''The Joint Sub-Committee on So-Stupid-It's-Smart-itites''' where, much like getting a high enough score on a video game can reset it back to zero, Homestar goofs up so much he actually does something intelligent, like reciting Coulomb's Law when asked "What's two plus two?"

* '''The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume", "the most powerful branch", where Homestar's attempt at moving into his Jolly DUmple Costume ends explosively when he ignores Coach Z's warnings about it being made from "flame pro-tardant polymascotfoamalate" (which, in Old-Timey days, was apparently once used as a food additive).
