'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walks on stage}'' Oh hello. And now for a special punishment&mdash;I mean, presentation from Strong BaaaaaaaAAaaAAaaAAaaaad. ''{walks off stage}''

''{We see Strong Bad behind a curtain.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Psst! Strong Bad! Go!

''{Strong Bad peeks out from the wings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, there's no way I'm goin' out there.

''{Cut to Homestar standing backstage with Pom Pom, Strong Mad, and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yes you are. ''{Pom Pom's and Strong Mad's eyes look mad}'' You lost fair and square. Goooo.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad behind the curtain}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Go!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Rrrrrrraaaaaaaah!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' GO! ''{Strong Bad is pushed onto stage, wearing a sailor suit and holding a large lollipop.}''

''{Homestar, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, and The Cheat laugh}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Go on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat}'' Hrrymrrdrr.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Happymuddaday.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We can't hear youuu!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screaming}'' HAPPY FREAKIN' MOTHER'S DAY!!!

''{More laughter from Homestar, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and Pom Pom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You had to say it.  Pom Pom, seriously.  He had to say it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong bad walks off the stage}'' Oh man! That's the last time I'm playin' you guys in cards. You guys are freakin' ruthless, man! I'm outta here! ''{The scene zooms out, showing the stage, reveling that no one else is there}''More like "Crappy Mother's Day", if you ask me. Cause it's probably pretty crappy so far. And I'm not even a mother.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first holiday cartoon featuring [[The Brothers Chaps]]' current style of animation, including the "gleam" in Strong Bad's eyes. However, The Cheat is still drawn in the older style and Strong Bad still has his Mexican accent.
*The "back" button at the end of this toon will always take you to [[Main Page 8]].

===Remarks===
*You can't hear Pom Pom laughing.
*In [[A Holiday Greeting]], the auditorium was orange. In this toon, it's blue.
*The Cheat frowns when he laughs.
*Strong Bad's design went back to an older incarnation for the next few toons. This version of Strong Bad wasn't used again until [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's mouth doesn't move when the whole auditorium is shown.
*The sailor collar on Strong Bad's outfit should be in the back, tied in the front.

===Real-World References===
*The auditorium in this toon looks like the auditorium in [[Peanuts|A Charlie Brown Christmas]], another holiday cartoon.
