STRONG BAD: How many emails can you check? 5, 12, 7, shut up.
{reading}
subject: extra coolDear Strong Bad,
My new lady fan does not like you so much. Should I
just call it quits now or can you do something extra special
cool to impress her?
Buck Webb
Houston, Tejas
{Strong Bad reads "Houston" as "Hooston".}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Buck Webb? You sound like one of those boring soap-opera comic strips from the, {stops typing} quote, un-quote, {resumes typing} "funny" pages.
{An example of a boring soap-opera comic pops up. It is titled "Buck Webb, Extrordinaire". Music begins playing.}
BUCK: I'm afraid it's Splittsville for us, Lady Fan... if you don't put a shine on Strong Bad.
LADY FAN: Oh, Buck...
{Cut to the next panel. Lady fan is holding a gun up to Buck.}
LADY FAN: I'll give Strong Bad a chance. In fact...
{Cut to next panel, of a turtle in a pool, with the caption "Sea turtles eat a wide variety of food".}
LADY FAN: ... I think I'm falling for him. Like, big time.
BUCK: C'mon, baby. Stay with me.
{Next panel. Buck is holding a yoga DVD.}
BUCK: I'll buy you a new yoga DVD.
{Next panel. Lady fan is crying and there is a caption "Back in Des Moines..."}
LADY FAN: I'll... think about it.
{Cut away from comic}
STRONG BAD: {typing} We both know who she's gonna choose, Buck. Is that what you want? But hey, you asked for it. And as you know, when people send me stupid emails, I'm obligated by law to do what they say. So, extra special cool comin' right up!
{Cut to a gymnasium.}
STRONG BAD: Nothing's more ESC than one-handed push-ups. Couplea these bad boys outta do the trick! Here-a I-a go-a!
{Strong Bad attempts to do 1-handed push-ups. He fails. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -1.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, did I say "1-handed push-ups"? Those things are lame. Real men play 2-handed push-ups! We'll start with 50 and see how we feel. Here-za I-za go-za!
Easter Eggs
- Click the scoreboard after Strong Bad calls one-handed push-ups lame to see a blue bumper sticker that says "Real Men Play Two Handed Push-ups!!" with a small image of a soccer ball in the corner.
- At the end, click on the printer's green button to see Homestar's weight-loss DVD, titled "Tweesercize".
Fun Facts
Remarks
- This is the first time we see Strong Bad perspire. This is also proof that he probably isn't that strong.
- While Strong Bad may not be able to do pushups, he was able to throw Homestar (who weighs 100 pounds) and the King Of Town (who has a reputation for being very fat and unhealthy) out of his house.
- This is another instance of The Paper not coming down normally.
- It appears The Paper comes from a dot matrix printer.
Inside References
- The score counter going negative is referring to an easter egg in montage.
- Strong Bad locking The Cheat in the dryer is a reference to 2 years.
- This is another appearance of the BMW Lighter.
- Preeeeow is the onomatopoeia decribing The Paper's sound effect.
- This is another mention of Homestar's Pants.
Real-World References
- The soap-opera-type comic probably pokes fun at comics not written to be funny, such as Rex Morgan, M.D., which are found in most newspaper Funny Pages anyways.
- The panel with a sea turtle is a reference to the drama/information comic strip Mark Trail.
- Strong Bad calls Homestar "Wretched Simmons", referring to fitness guru Richard Simmons.
- The Iron Shiek was a famous wrestler in the WWF in the 1980s.
