Homestar Runner DVD (Warning Screen)

1st Warning (2004)

Warning: On a flashing color background, the words "Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures, video tapes or video discs. Criminal copyright infringement is investigated by the FBI and may constitute a felony with maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine." appear. Homestar Runner walks in, looks and says "BOOOOORING!" before leaving.

Trivia: The whole animation and audio is from the similar joke on the site's legal page.

FX/SFX: The background and Homestar.

Music/Sounds: Just the sounds of Homestar walking and his line.

Availability: Seen on strongbad_email.exe Disc One, which is no longer sold from Homestar Runner's store.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Warning (2004)

Warning: Almost the exact same as the previous warning, but instead Homestar spits some Teddy Grahams on the warning and they stick. Homestar says "that's better" and leaves.

Trivia: This references a nonsensical scene from the Strong Bad Email episode "Couch Patch" (weirdly not on the DVD) wherein Homestar reveals his like of spitting Teddy Grahms.

5th Warning (2005)

6th Warning (2006)

Warning: Coach Z shows up on the warning screen. Noticing the text he says "Hey look! Someone wrote some dope rhymes on this flashy wall," gets out a microphone and begins a rap as such: "Federal law provides serial penalties. Unauthorized, you can't handle me. Video tapes are not discotapes, FBI come up and snatch up your papes. A one a-two, I'm out." We fade out.

7th Warning (2007)

Warning: The Cheat appears on the typical warning dressed like a bandit. He puts a stencil over it and spraypaints, revealing "Rad rad Robotank" from the Strong Bad Email episode "portrait".

Music/Sounds: The Cheat's noises, the sounds.

Availability: Seen only on strongbad_email.exe Disc Five, which, bizzarely, was sold on the modern incarnation of the Homestar store (when all the other sbemail dvds were off) but is no longer.
