So, I'm a little lost. I've heard a few theories, and I'm not entirely sure which one it is.

Is Fhqwhgads the little duck thing from Adventure or the wiffle balls? I definetly see the wiffle balls more often in "Everybody to the Limit," but the ducks are common too. The random sharp-toothed wiffle ball had "Fhqwhgads" written on it, and when he asked his friends Joe and Jake, when they said "Fhqwhgads," wiffle balls showed up on their mouth. Although when Fhqwhgads was jocking him, the duck dude showed up. A few other random items could have been, though likely aren't, Fhqwhgads as well.

Anyone care to enlighten?

Eh, I might as well make this a poll. That way I can add random options that don't make sense.

Well, Fhqwhgads sent the 9th Strong Bad email, I love you. http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail9.html So, Fhqwhgads is technically a person, Strong Bad just decided to make a song about her, for some reason.

I agree; Fhqwhgads is a person. But I think the duck-thing has filled the Fhqwhgads niche.

Oh, right, I knew that it came from a real person. I just wondered what exactly SB turned him into in cartoon form. How do we know it's the duck and not the ball?

Edit: Whoops, her. Or is it her?

SB didn't turn HER into anything. He was just singing ABOUT her.

It is just a thing in an email. It was symbolized as many things in the video.

It's like, Strong Bad didn't know exactly what Fhqwhgads looked like, so it used many other things to symbolize Fhqwhgads, hoping one of them would be right. But that's what I think.

I think of a fhqwhgad as that pixelated duck thing.

Let's ask google:

fhqwhgads is in pooooooopeverybody to thepooop limitpooooop

This is apparently what Google thinks he/she/it looks like.

That's a weird scavenger hunt those kids went on. Click the one called "hoopeston" or something to see.
Well, Google doesn't know what it is, so I guess it's an interpretive thing.

I've always thought that Fhqwhgads was the duck guy. On the subway, Strong Bad sees it "Jockin'" him.

And WHY are the Kennedys in that video? That just never made sense to me.

Let me enlighten you, boys and girls.

The "duck" is the yellow dragon from the Atari 2600 game, Adventure.
There were three dragons in the game, the easy yellow and green ones, and the annoying really fast red one.
In the game, your square ran around with a sword killing dragons and finding keys to the castles.
The "black bat" would occasionally come by, steal your items, and drop something in your path. Like a dragon. It got really annoying when the bat took your sword and dropped down a dragon.
Adventure is normally classifyed as the first adventure video game, and it paved the way for adventure games and RPGs.
Yes, I do own Adventure, though my Atari is broken. I'm looking at the cartridge right now. Hmmm... "game program: adventure: CX-2613. 3 Skill Levels"
Okay, now I'm just rambling.

So, most of you probably already knew this, but I felt like teaching yous anyway.

Fhqwhgads originates from the "i love u" virus. A few years ago a computer virus got around that simply said "i love u", and the name of the sender was just randomly typed letters:fhqwhgadshgnsdhjsdbkhsdabkfabkveybvf. Strong Bad recieved this email, made the "long name" joke, and then turned it into the website's most popular song.

I don't know why either, but might it have something to do with TMBG's obsession with presidents? The Cheat is obviously a fan; he was involved in the Experimental Film video. Just an idea.
Yes, although I am Canadian I know that only JFK was president.

The presidents are in they're probably just for the random effect, same as Martin van Buren bust in the cheat character vid.

Yes, but the question here is "What exactly is Strong Bad's idea of fhqwhgads?"

He just thinks she's some girl with a really long name. Litterally.
