SBE 128 - Rampage

Easter Eggs

At the end of the e-mail, click on "rampages" for a parody of the classic video game, Rampage.
Also at the end, click on "chambers" to see the poster for Litigation Jackson 2: Legal Rampage.
Again at the end, click on "different" to see a Strong Sad CD.
- Unlike other CD-related easter eggs, this one does not let you hear a song when clicked.

Fun Facts

Explanations

When Peter says "Ong-stray Ad-bay" and Strong Bad says "eppressing-day erd-nay," this is a fake language called Pig Latin. Translated, Peter said "Strong Bad," and Strong Bad said "depressing nerd."
Shortly after referring to the M.L.A. Handbook, Strong Bad writes, "I've just grown more selective of the types of rampages on which I go." The slightly odd phrasing at the end of the sentence ("on which I go" rather than the more natural "which I go on") pokes fun at a rule of formal writing (as the M.L.A. explains) that no sentence should end with a preposition.
Definitions of Strong Bad's "regal" language:
- bequeath: To leave or give (personal property) by will. To pass (something) on to another; hand down
- quiver(ed): To shake with a slight, rapid, tremulous movement
  - A quiver is also a case for carrying arrows or the arrows in a quiver. All this is just a Regal way of saying ARROWED!
- tuppence: British variant of twopence, or two pennies.

Trivia

The books with titles on the bind are:
- Sweatshirtguy
- The R in Routine
- Soup, Right?
- Brown Story
- Biscuit
- Smart Investing for Jerks

Remarks

After Homsar says "Caramel corn for president, please", his hat performs a loop, but does not come to rest on his head, but a few inches above it. This could be a goof, or it could just be the unpredictable nature of Homsar's hat.

This is the first time we've ever heard Coach Z actually laugh.

Inside References

One of the books in Strong Bad and Strong Mad's Reading Rampage is titled "The R in Routine", a reference to one of Strong Bad's lines in morning routine.
The Poetry Club is really Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween Comedy Club, with the banner draping over it.
The scene in the Rampage video game easter egg of Strong Mad chasing the Cheat is also from morning routine.
"Poetry Slam" is the title of Strong Sad's character page.

Real-World References

On Strong Sad's CD (when "different" is clicked), there is a "Parental Advisory" warning for "Very Boring". This advisory is a parody of the advisories found on music albums containing explicit lyrics or otherwise offensive content.
- Parental Advisory labels became required by most record companies in America following the 1985 "Porn Rock" congressional hearings spearheaded by the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), led by Tipper Gore.
The Cheat uses an old '80's Fisher-Price record player to "drop some beats."
The "rampages" Easter egg is, of course, a reference to the arcade game Rampage, published by Bally Midway in 1986.
Strong Sad mentions iambic pentameter, which is a syllable pattern used in poetry. An iamb is a pair of syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed. Iambic pentameter is five iambs per line. Strong Sad says 'The quill! The page! Lyric, rampage! Word up?' in exaggerated iambic pentameter.
- Iambic pentameter was popular with such poets as William Shakespeare and Geoffrey Chaucer, and was for a long time the standard English meter.
The M.L.A. Handbook for Writers of Research Papers is a guide for punctuation, quotation, and documentation of sources published by the Modern Language Association (http://www.mla.org/). It is the most popular standard for academic writing.
Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "DJ Dumpy Dump" could be a reference to the rapper Humpty Hump (who Coach Z once dressed up as for Halloween).
Strong Bad's insult of "round mound of gray fatness" towards Strong Sad could be derived in part from the nickname of former NBA player Charles Barkley, the "Round Mound of Rebound." Also, Ruben Studdard, who won American Idol in 2003 and bears more than a slight resemblance to Strong Sad in shape, is sometimes known as the "Round Mound of Sound."
"Smart Investing for Jerks" is a reference to the numerous ...For Dummies books, which insult the reader in their title.
One of the books seen during Strong Bad's "reading rampage" is titled Soup, Right? which could be a reference to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series.
"Witness the whiteness" could be a reference to the racial stereotype that white people can't rap, dance, fight, or anything street.
