STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh, people can you feel me? To e-mail me? Also, don't really try to feel me? {double-clicks on the strongabad_email.exe icon}
{"fo" is pronounced as written. Strong Bad hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"} STRONG BAD: {typing} Course I do Cross-stitch. {rapping} You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis? Those dictonaries are only good for helping {cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth} The Cheat brush his teeth {cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right} and helping Homestar lose his teeth. STRONG BAD: Hurl! {Strong Bad throws the dictionary} HOMESTAR RUNNER: Tooth! {a giant tooth lays on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it} {Cut back to the Compé} STRONG BAD: {typing} For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, {cut to a close up of the book} Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words! {Strong Bad puts a sticky note on the book} STRONG BAD: {quickly} Or Count Longardeuax's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth, for short. {Cut back to the Compé} STRONG BAD: {typing} We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert {cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background} at a chichi restaurant, restaurant. OLD LADY: Oh, that looks sinfully— STRONG BAD: {record scratch} Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together— {Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth} STRONG BAD: which makes for way less words! STRONG SAD: Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke=valanche"! {Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section} STRONG BAD: And that brings us to the Suffix section. {each "suffix" is highlighted in turn} -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon. {Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book} STRONG BAD: All the great natural disaster suffixes are included! {Cut to a sample from the book} NARRATOR: {smoothly} This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon. {Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background} STRONG BAD: Now that is talking like a Strong Bad dude! {Cut back to the Compé} STRONG BAD: {typing} For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you going to define a word like (cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's} paunch, without smelling {Strong Bad puts a stick with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!"} Strong Sad considerable paunch! {Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book} STRONG SAD: My paunch does not smell! {Strong Sad slaps his body to punctuate the last words} {Cut to everyone gathered on The Stage} ALL: Yes it does! {Crowd claps and the curtain closes} {Cut back to the Compé} STRONG BAD: {typing} Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it {Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa" and "Kneepads". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterences" is revealed, followed by a buzzer} gutterences {cut back to the Compé} that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people. {Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.} STRONG BAD: {voiceover} There's the "pffgh!" sound {tattered piece of paper comes down} for Coach Z. COACH Z: Hey, Strong B'd! Do you want to hear about my glory days on the field? STRONG BAD: Pffgh! STRONG BAD: {voiceover} The "aungh!" sound {Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the background changes to Marzipan with Carol and a microphone singing around the fences} for Marzipan. MARZIPAN: {echoy} You wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"? STRONG BAD: Aungh! STRONG BAD: {voiceover} And of course, the ever popular {scene shift again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch} "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who. STRONG SAD: {high pitched} Talk. STRONG BAD: Graaauuughnck!! {Cut back to the Compé} STRONG BAD: {typing} In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop. {Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen} HOMESTAR RUNNER: "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever played with! {Cut back to the Compé} STRONG BAD: {typing} And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. {quickly} Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. {normally} Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if someone can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do? STRONG BAD: Give them the goods, Compé...-per. {Strong Bad gets up, making the geddup noise, and the Virtual Paper appears. Crossfades to a dictionary page entitled "Today's Entries".}Easter Eggs
- Clicking on "Cross-Stitch" at the beginning brings up a needlepoint picture of Strong Bad.
- Clicking the V in the school play scene brings up a poster advertising "Yes it does".
- At the end, click "Broodroscotch" to see some broodroscoth fall on the word. Click it again to see it disappear.
- At the end, click "raspberry sauce" to see a scene of Homsar in Strong Badia.
- HOMSAR: {holding the dictionary; his hat floats off while he speaks} Krrrrronk there, Rubbermaid, can you redirect me to the nearest Puke-valanche?
- {The Tire bounces away.}
- At the end, click "hwimswelf" to see a scene of Homestar in the movie theater.
- HOMESTAR: {wearing his viking helmet} This suckquake of a movie is a total wastenado of my seven bucks-forest fire.
- Click on the Sawesome Jack sticker to see an extension of the Family Feud scene, adding 51 points for "Onion Bubs".
Fun Facts
Remarks
- Strong Sad himself can be seen behind Pom Pom when the main characters protest that Strong Sad's "paunch smells." His body is even moving, indicating that he is saying "Yes it does."
- When Homestar flips from "crap-for-brains" to "carp-for-brains", he flips from near the end of the dictionary to near the beginning, even though both words start with C. He looks up "brain-for-brains" near the end of the dictionary as well.
- There is a double-space between "little" and "boodroscotch".
Goofs
- When it zooms in on the dictionary after Strong Bad says "Shut up, lady!", the lower left corner of his mouth protrudes from his head slightly while he's talking.
