==Transcript==

''{Balding Man sits looking depressed in his wood-paneled living room in an aqua-green lounge chair while holding a canned cold one and watching TV. Light music plays in the background.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Say there, "husband of the year"! What are you doing just sitting around?

''{Balding Man looks at the camera and gives a loud, long sigh.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' When you could be sitting around ''huge'' savings ''{Balding man gives a big smile}'' at the Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale!!! ''{The last six words are printed across the screen, and "Supra Sale" is echoed.}''

''{Balloons float up as the scene wipes to reveal Senor Cardgage standing in the Field in front of a portable tent covering the small shrub. Two strands of multicolored pennant streamers hang in front of and behind the tent.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Gamble<!-- DON'T! CHANGE! IT! unless we reach a consensus to do so on the talk page. --> around the campfire, children! It's Senor Cardgage with the Senorial Day Tent thing that guy talked about.

''{The next scene tumbles in from the center. Still in the Field, Senor Cardgage stands in front of the [[Gremlin]] with a strand of pennant streamers overhead.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' It won't be here forever. So come see me ''{pull back to reveal the Wagon Fulla Pancakes at Senor Cardgage's feet}'' and this little dog ''{indicating the wagon}'' for vera low prices!! ''{"VERA LOW PRICES!!" flashes on the screen.}''

''{The screen shifts to a blue screen with "Tent Event" printed all over it. As the narrator names off the following years, the numbers fly across the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' 2005! 2004! 1999!

''{Scene shifts back to the awning and the shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Those were all good years. Don't let another minute go you by.

''{The screen turns to static for a moment as the channels apparently change, and we now see Bubs at his concession stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! Come check out my circumstance this Senorial Day Weekend for Bubsotathon!!

''{The screen pans out, and we can see a star-spangled "BUBSOTATHON!!" banner above the concession stand. Two Homestar Runners can be seen, one on each side of the stand and barely offscreen. Both throw confetti.}''

'''LEFT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{fireworks noises}'' Pekyoo! Hgyoo! Pghyoo! Doo! Pehw! Wehw! ''{normal voice}'' Explosions! Fireworks!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Bubs is standing next to the Stop Sign and the Tire. The Tire has been painted to read "LOW SAViNGS".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up the Tire}'' We're so ''tired'' of low savings, we're givin' 'em this boot! ''{He pulls a [[Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]] out from behind his back and hits the tire with it. An unseen audience groans. Bubs throws both props over his shoulder.}'' Would I lie to my own flesh and blood?

''{Homestar walks in from stage right, with false Bubs teeth drawn on his jaw in marker and a paper ring taped over his left eye.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Bubba daddy! 

''{The Tire and the Boot are seen falling behind the fence. The [[Bear-Shark]] pops up as they land. The channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, back in front of the Gremlin. Strong Bad walks up from stage right with an American football in hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, excuse me, sir. Can I have some tremendous savings? And your autograph? ''{holds up the ball}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{writing on the football with a marker}'' My left name is Tremendous Savings, Miss America! ''{grabs the football and winds up to throw it, indicating for Strong Bad to go long}'' Go out for a pass!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' You bet! Hit me on the slant! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{Senor Cardgage pauses for a moment, then drops his arms, still holding the football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Bring on down your whole fambly! We'll set up some tents ''{an image of a tent hovers on the left side of the screen}'' and hot dogs ''{an image of a hot dog hovers on the right}'' for your... babies. ''{scratching his head}'' Those like those, right?

''{Channel changes back to Bubs, who is back at his concession stand. He's wearing a pink baby bonnet and holding a rattle.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're going ''gaga'' ''{rattles the rattle}'' over slashed prices! ''{As he says this, a serrated blade emerges from the end of the rattle and the word "PRICES" appears at the bottom of the screen. He slashes "PRICES" in two with the blade. The audience groans. Bubs ducks down, then returns with a wig and a tennis racquet.}'' Our competition is a total ''racket!'' ''{The audience groans again. Bubs ducks down again and returns with a bean bag that looks vaguely like Strong Sad's head on a plate.}'' We're getting a''head'' of the rest. ''{More groans. Bubs now switches the plate for a giant frog mask.}'' I'm the hoppity-frog of values! ''{Audience says "Huh?" in unison. Bubs switches props to a rubber chicken.}'' We're holding up a novelty rubber chicken and playing a cartoony sound effect ''{He raises his left hand to cue a pair of cartoony "boing" sound effects}'' of savings!

''{Channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, who is back in front of the awning and shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You doe NOT want to miss ''{"Doe NOT Miss Out" appears at the bottom of the screen.}'' any Senorial Day savings action!

''{Cut to file footage of an urban alley, where Senor Cardgage is sleeping in an orange sleeping bag, using his Aldi bags as a pillow. A box labeled "UNLABELED BOX" can be seen to the left. Senor Cardgage snores loudly as cars honk their horns in the background. Cut back to the Gremlin, where Senor Cardgage is still holding Strong Bad's football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Wake up! Senorial Day is here with a vengeance!

''{Strong Bad returns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, Mister Senor, sir? Can I have my football back?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You bet! How 'bout I hitcha on the slant?

''{Senor Cardgage winds up to throw the ball, and Strong Bad dashes off again. After a moment's pause, Senor Cardgage again drops his arms, still holding the football. He then walks off, stage left. We cut to Strong Bad, still running in the other direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna get me a touchdown!

''{Channel changes back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' So come down around my Bubba Concession Stand&mdash;my Buh&mdash;my cassette&mdash;''{music screeches to a halt}'' Ough! I even wrote this stuff and I can't remember my own lins<!--sic-->.

''{Another Bubs wearing devil horns and carrying a pitchfork rips open the screen.}''

'''DEVIL BUBS:''' So come on by for Bubsotathon ''{The banner from earlier comes up from the bottom of the screen}'' where you'll save like a demon, or my name ain't ''{holds up a "VERY OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION CARD"}'' Bubs Concession Stand!

''{The channel changes to the wall of the Balding Man's living room, with ID cards that read "BACK" and "AGAIN".}

==Easter Eggs==

*When Senor Cardgage holds up Strong Bad's football the first time, click on the football to see that Senor Cardgage wrote (in very scrawly handwriting): "This pen doesn't work, small girl  T. Mendous Savings"
[[Image:eastereggsenorial.PNG|thumb|Click on the wood panel highlighted in red here at the end of the short.]]

*At the very end, click on the narrow wood panel just to the left of the AGAIN card.

:''{The Field at night. Crickets chirp in the background. Strong Sad walks on from stage left.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night.

:''{Strong Bad's football flies in from off in the distance and nails Strong Sad squarely in the back of his head, knocking him over.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' OHGH! Somebody hit me on the slant!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Senorial Day was released on and is a takeoff of the U.S. holiday [[Wikipedia:Memorial Day|Memorial Day]], during which there are often many much-hyped retail sales events.
*A slant pattern is an [[Wikipedia:American football|American football]] play in which a potential receiver runs across the field at an angle instead of running straight toward the end zone.

===Trivia===
*Bubs' ID card reads:
<pre>VERY OFFICIAL
IDENTIFICATION CARD

BUBS C. STAND
Entrepreneur
FREE COUNTRY USA
          [SUSPENDED]
CLASS         "I don't look half bad!"
  F                              -Bubs</pre>
*If the file is viewed in .swf format, then in the scene with two Homestars, you can see that the Homestar on the right has a mustache.

===Remarks===
*If Bubs can be trusted, then we learn Bubs' full name is "Bubs Concession Stand."

===Inside References===
*The Balding Man and his sigh are from [[Senor Mortgage]].
*Senor Cardgage signs the football with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*Bubs wears the same [[Wikipedia:John McEnroe|John McEnroe]] costume that Homestar wore in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*Bubs holding up the fake Strong Sad head first appeared in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] in which Strong Sad called it, "self portrait in late October."  Strong Sad's severed head appeared next in [[Fan Costume Commentary]]. Then finally, in one of the pages in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], in which The Cheat serves up Strong Sad's head on a platter.
*In the email [[montage]], the Wagon Fulla Pancakes was said to have gone on to do commercial spots for used car dealerships. This explains its appearance in this cartoon, which is an obvious parody of said commercials.
*The serrated knife that Bubs uses is like the [[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies|Hash-Haw]] from [[Stinkoman 20X6]] level 6.  Of which may be the knife Stinkoman uses in [[Japanese Cartoon]]
*Bubs also said, "Hey there every peoples!" In his character video.

===Real-World References===
*Senor Cardgage calls Strong Bad "[[Wikipedia:Miss America|Miss America]]," which is a title given in a popular annual beauty pageant.
*"[[Wikipedia:Battle_of_the_Network_Stars|Battle of the Network Stars]]" was an annual TV special in the late 70s that pitted stars from various TV shows teamed up by network (ABC vs NBC vs CBS) competing in various olympic-style events. 
<!-- Yes, I know that "Bubsotathon" looks a lot like "Toyotathon". But until its time runs out on STUFF, it can't be posted here. -->
