{reading}
Can you make a comic about my friends? Tey are totally obsessed with you. Their names are Virginia, Joy, Kristen, and Jennifer. I would really appriciate it. Thank You. Brittany
{Strong Bad mumbles over the four girls' names instead of reading them. He also pronounces "Tey" and "appriciate" just as they are spelled.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well, I'd really appriciate {same as in the email} it if you proofread your emails before you sent them to me! So, a comic about your little friends, huh? Well, okay. I'll see what I can do!
{He gets out pencil and starts drawing something. Some music starts playing.}
NARRATOR STRONG BAD: Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader {cheer!} So and So {fashion sense!} What's Her Face {unpopular!} The Ugly One {hygiene?}
CHEERLEADER: Hey gals, let's go get ready to LOOK SO GOOD!!!!!

CHEERLEADER: Okay, now let's start LOOKING GOOD!!!!

WHATS HER FACE: A'ight.
{A robot zaps So and So's head with a laser}

{Numerous arrows come flying through the air behind The Ugly One.}
THE UGLY ONE: I have a crush on EVERY BOY!
{The Ugly One is pierced by arrows}
THE MAN WITH THE HUGE MOUTH: ARROWED!
THE UGLY ONE: OW! My skin!
{What's Her Face is kicked by a dinosaur}
WHATS HER FACE: Dag, yo.
{Cheerleader stands next to the headstones for So and So, The Ugly One, and What's Her Face}
CHEERLEADER: I look so good!
STRONG BAD: {typing} Wow, Brittany! That turned out pretty good! I should maybe make some crappy xeroxes of that thing and sell it over at Bubs'. Or at least some snooty independent record store. {stops typing} Ok, so, that's it! No more Strong Bad Emails. Na, just kiddin... maybe.
{The Paper comes down}
Easter Eggs
- When Strong Bad reads, "I would really appriciate it" you can click on the names of the girls to bring up pictures of some States.
- When the "Girls' States" appear - you can click on the tippy-top of each one to show it in its underwear, just like in weird dream.
- When the headstones appear you can click on the far right one to bring up a rather funny alternate ending.
- {Strong Bad walks on from offsceen}
- STRONG BAD: Whoa, hey there Cheerleader. You looking so good. You want to go take a ride with me up to Checker's... or Rally's... or Sonic Burger? Whatever you guys got here.
- At the very end you can click on the words, "independent record store" to bring up a part showing the comic for sale in some record store. Funny banter going on in the background:
- VOICE 1: [presumably Matt]: 'Sup, man?
- VOICE 2: [presumably Mike]: Hey, how ya doin'?
- VOICE 1: Pretty good.
- VOICE 2: Good to see you back in. Yeah, did you... um... listen to this yet?
- VOICE 1: You know, I have... yeah, I wasn't into it... I just couldn't get into it. You know, the whole thing's in 4/4, and, um, yeah, it wasn't for me. I liked their solo stuff better.
- VOICE 2: Yeah, what about their guitars... they're all, like, in tune... like the frets?
- VOICE 1: Yeah, the frets are, like, in tune, the frets are like B-modal. They just have the same producer... Al Beno. You ever see them live?
- VOICE 2: Yeah, I mean... I saw 'em...I saw 'em like twice... last night, actually.
- VOICE 1: Yeah, I saw them earlier this morning like four times...
- VOICE 2: I've been a bigger fan than you for a while, I mean, well, a lot longer probably, too...
- VOICE 1: Well, I mean, I dunno...
Fun Facts
- The song playing in the background of the record store bit is Sonic Youth's "Teenage Riot" from the album Daydream Nation.
- "Al Beno" is most likely a reference to Steve Albini, the famous producer, who was not actually associated with Daydream Nation.
- The talk about frets and tuning probably references Sonic Youth's penchant for employing unorthodox guitar tunings.
- "Mudhoney" was a grunge band from the late 80's-early 90's. A 45 for their single "You Stupid Assholes" is in the box labeled "Used 45s".
- The Brother's Johnson was a funk band from the 70's. Their album "Winners" is visible.
- The album on the far right is A Boy Named Charlie Brown by The Vince Guaraldi Trio.
- "In the United States alone, someone checks their email every three seconds. This is one of them" - This is a reference to the closing lines of The Naked City.
- The Visor Robot from Homestarloween Party makes a cameo here while "Voiping" Kristina.
