[edit] FBI Warning

The FBI warning on Volume 3 of Everything Else.

Cast (in order of appearance): Videlectrix Mascot

[edit] Transcript

{The standard FBI warning text appears on a background with constantly shifting colors.}

TEXT: Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures, video tapes or video discs. Criminal copyright infringement is investigated by the FBI and may constitute a felony with a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.

{The Videlectrix Mascot walks up, trips, then gives a thumbs up.}

[edit] Menus

[edit] Main Menu

The Main Menu

The 1980s video game theme runs throughout the entire DVD's menus.

{Cut to static on-screen and the screen distorting for several seconds before coming into full focus. The main menu has "Everything Else, vol. 3" flashing, the year 1982 and poorly-rendered versions of Homestar and Strong Bad's heads. The colors will cycle through like an Atari 2600 game. After a while, if the viewer fails to make a decision on what to see, a Puppet Stuff scene activates.}

{The screen starts to distort and a high pitched whine is heard, like it does at the start of the DVD}

STRONG BAD: {off-screen} What the crap!?

{Cut to the Atari 2600 with the cartridge: "everything else vol. 3" inserted. Strong Bad removes the cartridge, causing the tone to stop.}

STRONG BAD: What's wrong with this stupid game?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's wrong here, Strong Bad?

STRONG BAD: For some reason, my used copy of a twenty year old video game won't work.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, them ol' game tapes? You gots to blow in 'em, like this! {blows a raspberry into the cartridge}

STRONG BAD: Ew...

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now give it a shot.

STRONG BAD: Okay.

{Strong bad inserts the cartridge back into the Atari 2600. A zapping sound is heard and the screen flashes. The screen returns to the menu, with smoke coming out of Strong Bad's head.}

STRONG BAD: WAAAH!

HOMESTAR RUNNER HEAD ON SCREEN: See, I told you it'd work.

STRONG BAD HEAD ON SCREEN: Urrg, pixel... burger...

{The smoke disappears and the cycle repeats.}

[edit] Section Menus

Each of the individual sections' menus, like the main menu, are themed after early 1980s video games. Each menu also features music reminiscent of early '80s video games.

  • Toons: A loop of Homestar running in The Field and jumping over the following (in order): The Stick, a glass of melonade, Marshie, a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, a floppy diskette and the Soapbox. Music is based on the intro song.
  • Shorts: The King of Town atop his castle dropping turkey legs off. Music is based on the King of Town DVD theme.
  • Holidays: The Cheat running around a winter-themed maze (complete with snow and pine trees) collecting various power-ups. He collects two of each (in order): a candy cane and a present, a burger and a pair of glasses, and an Atari 2600 joystick and a football. Mystery music.
  • Other Features: The heads of Strong Bad and Homestar shoot squares at each other and hide behind floating shields. No music.
  • Bonus: The Limozeen spaceship shooting guitars and picking up ladies with a tractor beam. Music is based on Because, It's Midnite.

[edit] Remarks

  • The Videlectrix mascot's animations (and music) are directly lifted from Population: Tire.
  • The main menu claims that this was released in 1982.

[edit] Real-World References

  • The case is modeled after the cases of video games produced by Activision in the early 1980s.
  • The Shorts menu is based on the Activision game Kaboom!.
  • The Holidays menu is modeled after Dig Dug.
  • The Other Features menu appears to be a cross between Pong and Warlords.
