Transcript
{Swirl in to an open cooler in front of a brick wall. A hand reaches in and pulls out a Cold One.}
{Cut to a cornhole board painted with Teen Girl Squad soldier saying "Cornhole is no place for a mighty warrior!" hopping out from the hole. A red beanbag falls onto the board and misses the hole.}
VOICEOVER: Ever fear—
{Cut to a man grilling hot dogs by slapping one up and down with tongs.}
VOICEOVER: —you're having too much fun?
{Cut to two guys holding Cold Ones and talking indistinctly.}
MAN: {clinking bottles} Cheers to that.
{Cut back to the cornhole game. A man throws a green beanbag at the camera.}
VOICEOVER: Sounds like YOU need a paunch!
{The beanbag turns over and over in the air and transforms into a Strong Sad plush doll. The word "PAUNCH" is written in red.}
{The Strong Sad doll falls in a seated upright position on the cornhole board with a splat.}
VOICEOVER: It's Strong Sad {kickball sound as words appear} Paunch Baby from Fangamer {pronounced FANG-ga-mer, logo appears} dot com!
STRONG SAD: I'm sad that I'm a consumer product!
{A red beanbag knocks Strong Sad into the cornhole. Strong Sad screams.}
{Cut to the Strong Bad plush sitting by two embroidered pillows. A sticky note with a frown is on his mouth.}
VOICEOVER: Got a friend who's feeling down?
{The Strong Sad doll is tossed in to sit next to him. The frown on the sticky note grows longer until it trails to the couch.}
VOICEOVER: Let Strong Sad Paunch Baby make it even worse!
{Swirl. A hand tosses Strong Sad into the air.}
VOICEOVER: Dumb kids will probably {the doll lands upright on the table} do stupid tricks with him! {Strong Sad lands upright several times} Learn them all!
{Strong Sad lands on the table with his back to the camera.}
VOICEOVER: The Paunchback kid!
{Strong Sad lands upright into a ceramic mug}
VOICEOVER: Tube thoomp!
{Strong Sad lands upside-down into the mug.}
VOICEOVER: The 4-snifty!
{Strong Sad lands on the table.}
VOICEOVER: And the softserve flop!
{Strong Sad lands on the table stomach-down several times.}
{Cut to the doll on a blue background.}
VOICEOVER: Darken your day with Strong Sad Paunch Baby. Only from Fangamer. {again pronounced FANG-ga-mer}
{The camera changes to live footage with a hum.}
VOICEOVER: {enunciating} Fan Gamer. What does that mean? It's a stuffed animal. It's not a game.
{Quick whoosh back to the blue background.}
VOICEOVER: Oh, also there's new pins. {Strong Sad is suddenly covered in pins featuring Strong Bad, Homestar Runner, Marzipan and The Cheat.} Classic pins. Real great pins. Get 'em now.
{Strong Sad whines in pain. Fade to black.}
{Cut to the grill. Five overcooked hotdogs are on it. A set of tongs picks one up and drops it over a flame.}
GRILL MAN: Oh yeah. These are lookin' real good.
{Fade to black.}
Fun Facts
Remarks
- The logo in the video renders "Paunch Baby" as two words.
- The four pins shown are of Marzipan, Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, and The Cheat.

Inside References
- The mighty warrior declaring "Cornhole is no place for a mighty warrior!" is in reference to Teen Girl Squad Issue 10.
- A photo of the cornhole board was previously shared in a @strongbadactual Instagram post a month earlier.
- The word "paunch" is used in dictionary to describe a stench that Strong Sad produces; Strong Bad calls it "considerable" and indicates that it requires a scratch-'n'-sniff sticker to properly define it.
- The plush Strong Sad mopes, "I'm sad that I'm a consumer product."
- The Strong Bad Talking Plush features in the ad.
- The phrasing of "the Soft-Serve Flop" is similar to the top of Strong Sad's head being called a "disturbing soft-serve flip" in the Strong Bad Email keep cool.
- The visual of a stuffed doll resembling Strong Sad impaled with pins recalls the Strong Sad voodoo doll from The Best Decemberween Ever.
