'''Teen Girl Squad''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s comic series, crudely drawn on [[Paper Background|notebook paper]], centered around four blandly named teenage girls {{--}} [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], and [[The Ugly One]] {{--}} and their futile attempts to become popular, attract cute boys, and look "SO GOOD!". Each issue shows the girls performing different stereotypical teenage activities, such as going to the mall, babysitting, or taking exams, often ending in the girls' [[Teen Girl Squad Deaths|strange and gruesome deaths]] thanks to Strong Bad's overactive imagination. Due to the series' loose continuity, the girls always return from their untimely deaths before the next issue, or sometimes later in the episode.
 +
 
 +
The series began in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[comic]], when a girl named Brittany asked Strong Bad to make a comic strip about her four friends. Strong Bad's spur-of-the-moment comic soon became a series of its own, with fifteen installments, two spin-off shorts, and numerous appearances in unrelated toons. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have also admitted to using it as an outlet for [[The Only Girl|new female characters]].
 +
 
 +
The most popular [[running gags]] in the series are the girls' catchphrase, "SO GOOD!"; the vocalized [[onomatopoeia]]s used when a character dies, often ending in [[-'d]] as in "MSG'd" or "cerebullum'd"; and the girls' unorthodox exclamations of pain in the format [[Ow! My X!]], such as "my most of me" or "my [[style]]". Each issue ends with Strong Bad exclaiming "IT'S OVER!".

During the first three episodes of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Strong Bad makes some Teen Girl Squad comics. In the first two episodes, the comics are mini-games where the goal is to kill all four girls before the comic ends; the more Strong Bad laughs, the higher the player's score. This requires using the correct items on the right girls during the right scenes; however, some items are unavailable until Strong Bad finds the corresponding card elsewhere in the game.

Teen Girl Squad menu
The girls are looking SO GOOD!

Teen Girl Squad is Strong Bad's comic series, crudely drawn on notebook paper, centered around four blandly named teenage girls — Cheerleader, So and So, What's Her Face, and The Ugly One — and their futile attempts to become popular, attract cute boys, and look "SO GOOD!". Each issue shows the girls performing different stereotypical teenage activities, such as going to the mall, babysitting, or taking exams, often ending in the girls' strange and gruesome deaths thanks to Strong Bad's overactive imagination. Due to the series' loose continuity, the girls always return from their untimely deaths before the next issue, or sometimes later in the episode.

The series began in the Strong Bad Email comic, when a girl named Brittany asked Strong Bad to make a comic strip about her four friends. Strong Bad's spur-of-the-moment comic soon became a series of its own, with fifteen installments, two spin-off shorts, and numerous appearances in unrelated toons. The Brothers Chaps have also admitted to using it as an outlet for new female characters.

The most popular running gags in the series are the girls' catchphrase, "SO GOOD!"; the vocalized onomatopoeias used when a character dies, often ending in -'d as in "MSG'd" or "cerebullum'd"; and the girls' unorthodox exclamations of pain in the format Ow! My X!, such as "my most of me" or "my style". Each issue ends with Strong Bad exclaiming "IT'S OVER!".
