{Cut to the Lappy. Gavin is crawling on the screen. The lights are out. Strong Bad is not present. The lights suddenly turn on and Gavin crawls away.}
STRONG BAD: {Walks in} A little bit of email. Some you-and-me mail. {begins reading}
subject: questionWhat ever happened to the get up noise? I think it
Sincerely yours marc baroni AZ
was cool.
{Reads "marc baroni AZ" as "macaroni from A to Z"}
STRONG BAD: Oh! Alphabet macaroni! {typing} The get up noise? Oh wait, you mean The Geddup Noise. This guy!
{Strong Bad gets up and sits down three times, making the noise each time}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Ahhh, what fun! But that's not even the real Geddup Noise. That's just his cousin, Chairscoot. {clears screen} No, the real Geddup noise split quite some time ago. Somewheres right around email 84, Ol' Geddy got all big overseas. And then the phone calls started coming in.
{Cut to a close-up shot of Strong Bad. He is holding a phone.}
STRONG BAD: {into phone} Hello? What? Yes, no, yes.
{Zoom out to show that he's in his computer room. The email from kids' book is displayed on the screen of the Compy.}
STRONG BAD: It's for you. {tosses phone at stool}
{The Geddup Noise is heard. Cut back to the Lappy.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} And before I know it, every-freakin-body’s talkin about the Geddup Noise.
{Cut to Coach Z and Bubs at the concession stand, which is now labelled "BUBSO'S CONCESSION STAND"}
COACH Z: Okay, now I got one Bubs-O. Who am I supposed to be? {imitates geddup noise to Bubs' chagrin}
BUBS: Is that supposed to be the geddup noise?
COACH Z: Hang on! Hang on! Let me switch my pitch up! Waaay-o! Waaaay-o!
BUBS: {annoyed} Way-o way-o? I’ll be in the basement!
{The concession stand turns dark with only a yellow light shining from the top. Bubs slowly sinks into the basement.}
COACH Z: Way-o! Waaaay-o!
{Cut to the booOOM box, which holds a cassette tape labeled "Normal Bias"}
BOOOOM BOX (STRONG BAD'S RADIO ANNOUNCER VOICE): Hang on to your panties, people. {fart noise} Uh oh, what’s up? ‘Cause we got the Geddup Noise {doing sound} all up in this piece! {geddup noise, followed by laughter} Oh, man, we got a live one here!
{Cut to Strong Sad listening to the radio. He is wearing a black T-shirt that reads "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt".}
STRONG SAD: Oh, man. The Geddup Noise used to be cool.
{Cut to the set of The Show with Homestar}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: As always, at center square, The Geddup Noise. {Pan to a wider shot. Nobody is seen standing next to him.} What do you say, Geddy?
GEDDUP NOISE: {makes the geddup noise, followed by applause}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Now that is just special. But I’m afraid the correct answer was way-o, way-o {"WAY-O WAY-O" appears on screen as Homestar says it. The "wrong answer" music plays.}. But you will receive some fine parting gifts.

ANNOUNCER: That’s right, Kevin. The Geddup Noise will receive a year’s supply of our home game!
{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}
STRONG BAD: Even The Cheat was able to snag a piece of the Geddup Pie with his indie-tronic remix.
{CD of "DJ Teh Cheat - The Geddup Noise" appears; scene switches to Club Technochocolate, where The Cheat is spinning his own record. Bubs and Pom Pom put their weight on it.}
STRONG BAD: And before long, a bunch of cheap knock-offs started popping up.
{Cut to the King of Town, seated in a wooden chair at a table in his castle}
KING OF TOWN: Hello America! It’s the Standing Up Noise! {stands up and makes an imitation geddup noise} Dooooo-oooo! {The King looks over to his right.}
{Cut to the Brothers Strongs' basement. Strong Bad is seated in a yellow chair}
STRONG BAD: {to screen} And now, everybody's favorite style, the Git Outcha Seat Sound! {Strong Bad gets up from a yellow seat and makes a low-pitched imitation geddup noise.} Isn’t that right, the Teach?
{Strong Mad's left hand appears from behind the sofa. He has a blue sock on his hand with The Cheat-like features drawn on it.}
THE TEACH (STRONG MAD): BLUE SOCK! BLUE SOCK!
{Return to the Lappy}
STRONG BAD: {typing, sounding embarrassed} Heh heh. That was just not, nu-, anything. So after that, Geddy bought a house in the Coches and now he just snowboards all day. He still pops up here and there in the odd, or sometimes very odd celebrity endorsement.
{Cut to a shot of Hamburger Shampoo. The Geddup Noise plays in the background.}
ANNOUNCER: Geddup Noise Approved!
"Like a backyard BBQ on your hair!"

SHAMPOO
{Cut to Strong Sad watching the Hamburger Shampoo commercial. He is wearing a white T-shirt that reads "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".}
STRONG SAD: Frickin’ sell-out!
{Cut back to the Lappy again}
STRONG BAD: {typing} So I suppose that more than adequately answers your question, Shoshoni Macaroni.
{Pan out to a medium shot. Homestar is kneeling to Strong Bad's right, holding a notepad.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {to stool} Excuse me sir, could I trouble you for an autograph?
STRONG BAD: Homestar, you know that’s not even the original Geddup Noise. It’s his cousin...
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I know, Chairscoot. He’s my generation’s Geddup Noise! Uh, could you make it out to Lou Dobbs?
STRONG BAD: That’s it, I’m outta here. {Walks offscreen to stage right, making the chairscoot noise}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ah! There it is! It’s positively dreamy! {little hearts float up out of Homestar's head and pop like bubbles} Ohhhh! {Homestar faints. He knocks the stool which makes the chairscoot noise one more time.}
{The Paper comes down.}
