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, in a Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity house.}

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, h-- 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 boy in a cardboard box designed like Eh! Steve! around his torso. He is standing in the foyer of his house and a dog is sitting nearby.}

STRONG BAD: {imitating Eh! Steve!} 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 {pronounces "controversial" as "con-tro-ver-see-ull"} crossèd deuce. Oh, and I see you're on my favorite level, Level 12: FRONT HALLWAY. 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!

THNIKKAMAN: 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.}

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 is sitting on a street bench.}

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-beee!

{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!

THNIKKAMAN: 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 exposing her midriff 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.

{The next slide appears: A woman with a Yello Dello costume.}

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

STRONG BAD: Yeah, you wish Marzipan had legs like that! Or... legs.

{The next slide appears: A person wears a disproportionate Strong Bad mask, white tank top, and boxing gloves, and holds a thin piece of cardboard with "Lappy 486" written on it. Also present is a man with a Homestar shirt, bad white makeup, and a hat that was obviously patched over to make it appear blue. "Homestar" is holding a can with a pink piece of paper attached, which is presumably supposed to be Melonade.}

STRONG BAD: You know, it's the little things that make these costumes so terrible. Can't be bothered to find the elusive blue baseball hat?

{The slide shifts to a close-up of "Homestar's" hat.}

STRONG BAD: Why not waste a whole roll of painter's tape?

{The slide shifts back}

STRONG BAD: Not satisfied with just dressing up as Strong Bad? Why not confuse people by taping—

{The slide shifts to a closeup of "Strong Bad's" "computer".}

STRONG BAD: —a piece of paper to some cardboard and claiming it's a laptop computer?

{The slide shifts back.}

STRONG BAD: "Oh, so you guys are dressed as GI Joe?"

{The slide of the man in the Crack Stuntman outfit reappears.}

STRONG BAD: "Yeah, baby, that's right! I'm dressed as GI Joe!" {in a Teen Girl Squad voice} "Let's go make out!" {normally} "Oh yeah! Cheat Commandos, rock rock—" {in a Teen Girl Squad voice} "You wanna make out or not?!" {normally} "Yeah, sorry."

{A "Back" button appears.}
