Transcript

{The wall of Strong Bad's Basement is visible, and a projector screen snaps down from the ceiling. An offscreen slide projector turns on, filling the screen with white light. The projector displays the first slide: a man dressed as Crack Stuntman, but with his hair dyed green.}

STRONG BAD: BLAAH! You're Crack Stuntman! I bet you impressed a ton of ladies explaining what that costume was from. {in a slightly higher-pitch voice} "No, baby, listen. It's like this cartoon man from this cartoon show. And he does the voice of this other cartoon man inside the cartoon man show. It's so awesome." "Oh, cool, you're gonna leave with my fraternity brother who dressed up as Dale, Jr. That's cool!"

{The next slide appears: a picture of a woman in a cardboard box designed like Eh! Steve! around her torso. She is standing in the foyer of her house and a dog is sitting nearby.}

STRONG BAD: Eh! Cardboard box!

{The next slide appears: a picture of a man wearing a papier-mâché Stinkoman mask, gloves and boots with a tan shirt, long black pants and blue crate.}

STRONG BAD: Nice Stinkoman costume! And you're performing the ever-controversial crossèd deuce. Oh, and I see you're on my favorite level, Level 12: FRONT ALL WAY. Look out, it's the end boss! Vase full of peacock feathers!

{The screen dims and sprite of a vase with three peacock feathers and mechanical arms slides from the right and then 'Stinkoman 20X6' style explosions. The next slide appears: A man in a Thnikkaman costume, which consists of sloppy blue makeup and hair dye and an orange shirt with a piece of paper reading "tH" on it.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Here comes the terrible Thnikkaman costuuuuume!

BUBS: Yeah, nice face, kid.

{The next slide appears: A man with gray makeup and a strange white object over his head. He is wearing a gray sweater with a noticeable ring underneath and gray pants. He's holding a cigarette in his left hand and has his right arm around a woman who is mostly out of the frame. The camera's flash gives him the appearance of red eyes. The end result hardly looks like Strong Sad at all.}

STRONG BAD: The only inaccuracy I can find with this picture is that Strong Sad appears to be hugging someone of the female persuasion. But everything else: spot on.

STRONG SAD: I have three ribs!

{The next slide appears: A baby in a Homestar costume. The baby's arms are hidden inside the shirt.}

STRONG BAD: Uh, yes, child services? My name is called Strong Bad. I would like to report a severe case of infant abuse. I think they cut off his arms!

{The next slide appears: A man with a Strong Bad mask, boxing gloves, red boots, a white shirt and black pants.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, well if it isn't Gentleman Strong Bad waiting for the Good Posture Trolley! A-ding-ding, everyone!

{The next slide appears: A young woman wearing a cap and bare midriff shirt that both have the logo for The Pizz on them. She's carrying a pizza box.}

STRONG BAD: Uhhhhhh... you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired you're hired.

{The next slide appears: A man in a Homsar costume. Like the "real" Homsar, he stands pigeon-toed.}

STRONG BAD: The missing teen, dressed as some type of giant moron, was last seen wandering into the woods, repeating {imitating Homsar} "AaAaAaAa'm the make-money magnate!"

{The next slide appears: A man with a cap and red shirt. An uneven paper star is taped to his shirt.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Whoa, Strong Bad! When did you take that picture of me?

STRONG BAD: Homestar, that is not you. That looks nothing like you.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What are you talking about? That is me!

STRONG BAD: Homestar, this appears to be a picture of an unfortunate young man who fell down on a roughly star-shaped piece of paper with some Scotch tape on it.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You just described me!

STRONG BAD: Yeah, okay, you win, it's you. I took this picture of you.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's right! Oh! {singing} I am me-eee!

{The next slide appears: A man in a Thnikkaman shirt and sunglasses.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa, another Thnikka—

{The next slide appears: A man dressed similarly to the last one getting a kiss on the cheek from a woman.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa, another Thnikka—

{Another man in a Thnikkaman costume appears, though this one is in a red shirt.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa, another Thnikka—

{Another man in a Thnikkaman costume appears. This one has light blue makeup on his face.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa, {singing} another terrible Thnikkaman costuuuuume!

BUBS: Yeah, give it up, kids.

{The next slide appears. This one appears to be an ordinary man wearing a fake mustache. What appears to be a towel rack can be seen behind him.}

STRONG BAD: Wait, you dressed up as one of the—

{The slide changes to show a picture of the Videlectrix programmers, one of which has a similar mustache.}

STRONG BAD: —Videlectrix guys?! Man, I thought that Crack Stuntman guy was gonna—

{The slide changes back to the last image.}

STRONG BAD: —have a hard time explaining his costume to the ladies. Though I get the feeling that wasn't much of an issue for you. Sittin' around in your bathroom, takin' pictures of yourself.

{The next slide appears: A different picture of the last person. Then another appears: A girl sitting on a desk wearing a light blue "homsar" shirt and matching skirt with white leggings.}

STRONG BAD: Now this is what I'm talkin' about: Modestly Hot Homsar! And not one iota hotter! You can do all the sultry poses that sitting on your desk will allow. Still. Modestly. Hot.
