FBI Warning

{The same standard FBI text appears on the screen. Homestar walks up, and looks at the warning. Homestar then spits a couple Teddy Grahams at the warning, and they stick}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: There. That's better!

{Homestar walks away}

Intro

{Cut to the computer desk, which has the old, taped-up Tandy 400 on it}

STRONG BAD: Hey there, old girl. Lookin' good {Strong Bad points out the window} Hey, what's what over there? {Strong Bad violently knocks the Tandy off the computer desk, and replaces it with the Compy 386} Now lay it on me, 386! {the 386 starts up} Oh, I love that little song.

{The Paper comes down with the menu options. After about 30 seconds, the Tandy 400 and Bad Graphics Ghost appear from the top of the screen}

STRONG BAD: GAH! GET OUT OF HERE, PIXEL GHOST!

{The Bad Graphics Ghost floats away}

STRONG BAD: Whew, that was a close one.

FBI Warning

{The same standard FBI text appears on the screen. Homestar walks on by the text}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just passing through!

Intro

{Open to a shot of the Compy 386 at an angle. The text on the screen reads "baleeted." A 2-liter of Mountain Dew is nearby, and slowly leaking all over the computer desk and two floppies reading "where's an egg" and "peasant's quest." Slowly pans to Homestar at the computer.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {chucks a few floppies off to one side} What is that stupid word? {starts hitting head against keyboard to punctuate his words, causing some of its keys to fly out} WHAT! IS! THAT! STUPID! WORD! WHY! WON'T YOU! TELL ME! MR! COMPUTER! MAN!

{As he pounds his head on the keyboard, the text "whateeted," "is leted," "thateeted," "OUCH!," "my teeth!," and "my butt!!" appears on the screen. The Compy 386 then displays its Flagrant Error screen. The camera has now panned to the door. Strong Bad walks in and views this spectacle}

STRONG BAD: What in frig's crap?!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh-oh

STRONG BAD: How do you keep getting in here?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I dunno... picked the lock?

STRONG BAD: Ohhh, touch�

{The Paper comes down with the menu options. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad peeks under The Paper}

STRONG BAD: Hey, what the crap are they doing out there?

{Homestar peeks under the paper as well}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I don't see anybody. Maybe they're fixing a sandwich.

{Homestar sticks his head back under The Paper}

STRONG BAD: Oh. {shouting} Hey, bring us some Cold Ones when you get back in here!

{Strong Bad sticks his head back under The Paper}

Bonus Menu

{Cut to the living room, where The Cheat is hanging out in the crisper drawer and Strong Mad is watching TV. The Cheat makes some The Cheat noises}

STRONG MAD: Did you just say bonus stuff?

{Cut to the Trodgor arcade cabinet screen, which has the menu selections. After about 30 seconds, Strong Bad cuts in.}

STRONG BAD: Alright, choosy! Time's up! I'm playing Trogdor! {starts up a Trogdor game} Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishin'! {Trogdor gets killed} Oh man. {The game over screen shows} What?! What's wrong with this stupid game?

{Strong Bad hits the cabinet, returning the screen to its original state}

Additional features

As well, the DVDs contain 40+ hidden characters/creator commentaries, which can be found on certain e-mails by switching the language. Instead of a different language, it has the commentaries.

The DVDs are also region-free, which means they can be played in any country without modifications to the DVD player.
