Is it a bird? A cloud? A... bird cloud?

Strong Bad Email #21

Geroge writes in to ask Strong Bad to do a cartoon with only him in it, with a voiceover commentary. We also learn a valuable lesson; "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is... umm... really, really dumb and bad."

Cast (in order of appearance): Strong Bad

Transcript

geroge

STRONG BAD: {typing} Oh, no way, Geroge. We tried that once. Trust me, man. Bad idea.

{The scene changes and we see Strong Bad standin' there. He hears a bird singing and he looks up and around.}

STRONG BAD: {voice over} Umm... so this is another part where it's just me. And I'm kinda standing around. You know, just standing. I guess I don't do it very much. No wait, I just scratched my head. Yeah, I remember that part. I totally had to scratch my head then, man. I can't remember exactly what I was looking at there. Er, I think it was like a bird, or maybe a cloud that looked like a bird. You know, like a bird cloud.

{The scene changes back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the computer.}

STRONG BAD: {typing} I dunno. That wasn't so bad actually. You know it's like, All Strong Bad, All the Time! But you know what they say, "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad." {stops typing} Alright, so until next time send me a little email and I'll give you a little crap.

{The Paper comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad - strongbad@homestarrunner.com", click on the text to email him.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} So, this is were I just finished checking my email and I'm just kinda sitting there. You know, I... I think I was probably staring at my computer screen. You know, watching those green lines go by. I'll be like "Whoa, check at these green lines!" You know, they just keep going. {His eyes turns to green hypnotic circles.} I bet those could hypnotize you, man. If you watch them long enough. {His head drops to the keyboard.} Oh, see! There I go.

STRONG BAD: Well I'm not talking in this part-

MIKE: Yes you are

STRONG BAD: I'm talking over the talking. I ju- I remember doing the commentary for this part, watching myself, and I was looking around, you know, and my head looked really weird, 'cause you weren't very good at Flash yet. And, uh, I tippy-tapped... I was totally tippy-tappin' the toes... it WAS a bird cloud.

MIKE: You-

MIKE: I... well...

STRONG BAD: Man.

MIKE: So is this when you got the hypno-therapy right here? 'Cause it looks like, here in a second, you start to get hypnotized.

STRONG BAD: No, but they did the same thing! They made me look at an old Apple monitor.

MIKE: Uh, yeah
