A spin-off of the wildly-popular Flash cartoon series ''[[
The episodes are:
Line 57:
* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Homestar gets turned into one of these in "8-Bit is Enough". Naturally, [[Stop Helping Me!|he's not very helpful]].
* [[Fetch Quest]]: In ''8-Bit is Enough'' "Princess" Strong Sad keeps sending you on quests to find items like "The Sigil of Dark Dampening" and "The Shimmering Trinket of Endless Bargain-Hunting." The reward for each quest is another quest to fetch the same item (with a different name) that keeps respawning. This will go on forever, if you let it. {{spoiler|And you don't actually have to do ''any'' of them. All you need to do to make the story progress is get him to assign you the first quest; there's no need to actually complete it.}}
* [[Foreigner for
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: A number of the SBCG4AP episodes have some bug some which freezes or causes trouble for the game. The PC and Wiiware versions have different bugs between them.
* [[Gameplay-Guided Amnesia]]: Subverted in "Homestar Ruiner". As Strong Bad (posing as Homestar) is about to begin the Race to the End of the Race, he stops to ask Coach Z if he gets some instructions first. Coach Z tells "Homestar" he shouldn't need any instructions, as he's been training for weeks.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: "8-Bit is Enough" has its fair share of this.
{{quote| '''Strong Bad''': Say it with me, The Cheat: [[The Problem
** A lampshade hanging, as it's in the middle of a licensed game.
*** A ''good'' one.
* [[Geographic Flexibility]]: A [[Lampshade Hanging]] is applied on this by the map system. You can move all the notable locations around on the map and put them wherever you want.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Pom-Pom’s stage name is “Pom Star.” Now remember that an “m” looks like “rn.”
* [[A Good Name for
* [[Guide Dang It]]: SBCG4AP has its moments, especially when it comes to finding collectibles and other 100% completion achievements.
** The worst one is one of the Expressions of Affection in "Baddest of the Bands". To get it, you have to have hints turned up to maximum and then wander around a particular spot for a while until the hint drops. How the game makers expected anybody to figure this one out on their own is a real mystery.
Line 101:
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] when Strong Bad, after hearing this phrase spoken to him, says, "Why does everybody keep telling me that?"
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: When Strong Bad starts talking like Homsar, Strong Sad thinks he's gone insane.
* [[Save the Princess]]: Parodied in "8-Bit Is Enough". [[
* [[Say My Name]]: "PERDUCCCCCIII!" and "{{spoiler|BAAAAZOOOOOKAAAAA!!!}}", both from Dangeresque.
* [[Shaggy Dog Story]]: {{spoiler|1=Played for laughs at the end of SBCG4AP Episode 3.}}
Line 110:
* [[Spoof Aesop]]: From "Homestar Ruiner".
{{quote| "I think we've learned an important lesson today... that messing around with people's houses and private property is a really bad idea. Unless it's me mess-arounding. Then it's hilarious."}}
* [[Stalker
* [[Stealing From the Till]]: Bubs openly admits to "skimming off the top" with regard to the proceeds from Strong Bad's band contest. Strong Bad either doesn't notice this, or accepts it as a standard part of doing business with Bubs.
* [[Take That]]: In-story example; in "Baddest of the Bands", after Strong Bad turns Marzipan against Limozeen with some staged evidence, she composes a song called "Limozeen is Not Very Nice".
