== Transcript ==
''{Open to Cheat Commandos headquarters; a title which reads "'MOVIE NIGHT!' written by A. Chimendez Jr." appears. Cut to some Cheat Commandos at [[The Screen]].}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night. Hee hee hoo hoo!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Are you even trying anymore?

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right boys, time for a little R&R. Tonight we've got the old family favorite ''Pony Fights 2''!!!

''{the lights dim, and the big screen cuts to the green rating screen. It reads:}''
<blockquote style="background:#0C0; color:#FFF; padding:1em; width:500px; border:none; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">THE FOLLOWING FILM HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR

</blockquote>

'''EVERYBODY:''' Yay! Yeah!

'''SILENT RIP:''' All right! PG-13!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, ''{He flicks the lights back on.}'' I'm afraid lights-out for you is at oh-now hundred hours!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Yeah, all that cuss-language might give you nightmares. Ah-ha ha ha.

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can handle it, why I can even swear a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits.

'''OTHER COMMANDOS:''' Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, I can't do anything right. I might as well go home and get teen pregnant.

''{The other commandos gasp, the Blue Las-Alert siren sounds once.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Easy there, Cheat Cuss-mando, you just made an inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behavior!

'''REYNOLD:''' A whaaa?

''{cut to the black and white Commandos in the Classroom logo, which looks like Reynold in a mortarboard cap pointing a pointer at an A+}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the Classroom!

''{Cut to another black-and-white slide that reads "LESSON 4: INAPPROPRIATE PEER-2-TEEN CHOICE BEHAVIORS". At the bottom in fine print it reads "*TEACHERS, USE THIS TIME TO CATCH A NAP OR HAVE A SMOKE."}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Lesson four: Inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors!

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold in Cheat Commandos HQ}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Here, Reynold, lemme show you.

''{Gunhaver points the remote at the screen, which shows two ponies fighting in a field for a moment, then snows out to a diagram of a person's head showing the brain. The other commandos cheer for a second, then groan as the scene changes.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I was watchin' the ponies...

'''GUNHAVER:''' The brain is divided into two halves: ''{The brain in the diagram gets a jagged line down the middle}'' the good half ''{A dotted line points to the left half saying "GOOD HALF"}'' and the evil half. ''{A dotted line points to the right half saying "EVIL HALF.}'' The good half likes positive things, like Self-Esteem, ''{the word "Self-Esteem" appears in the middle of the screen and moves through the mouth into the "good" half of the brain.}'' Oreo Cheesecake, ''{again, the words appear and move through the mouth and up into the brain}'' Bringing Your Old Man a Cold One, ''{again, then cut to a close-up of Gunhaver}'' and all our playsets and toys. ''{Gunhaver smiles a big grin toward the camera. Cut back to the diagram.}'' But the evil half likes ''{as each of the next four words is said, is appears from the "evil" half of the brain and moves to the right side of the screen}'' Littering! Loitering! Latering! Lootering! And all the other stuff that causes inappropriate peer-to-teen choice behaviors! ''{The other words vanish and are replaced by "Inappropriate peer-2-teen choice behaviors".}''

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But how do ''I'' keep from making peer-to-teen choice awards, Gunhaver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' If you find yourself in a sticky ''{makes "finger quotes"}'' teenage situation, just remember these three pro-positive life tools:

''{Cut to Silent Rip in a classroom, next to a Blue Laser minion. Both appear to be taking tests.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' What did you get for number four, sir?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uhhhh...

''{Gunhaver suddenly enters the screen from the bottom.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Freeze!'' ''{The screen cuts to a diagram of a male body with "PRO-POSITIVE LIFE TOOL" written next to it, and a giant "#1" appears next to it.}'' Pro-positive life tool number one: ''{Gunhaver appears on the screen}'' say you have one of any debilitating gold rush era diseases! ''{He pulls out a book labeled "BIG BOOK OF DEBILITATING GOLD RUSH ERA DISEASES", and "BBODGRED" on the spine.}''

''{Cut back to the classroom.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Come on, man. I thought we were bros!

'''SILENT RIP:''' I can't! I have the typhoid! Or the cholera!

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' Never mind. Your answers are gross, bro.

''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold, the latter of whom is now wearing a false beard and a prospector's hat, and is holding a mining pick.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Gold rush era diseases, eh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to the supermarket, where two Blue Laser Minions are holding a lot of bottles labeled "WINE COOLA," some of them in their pants, and Fightgar is standing nearby.}''

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Hey, man. We need you to put these wine coolers down your pants... er, down your headband.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Oh, um, uh...

''{Again, Gunhaver suddenly jumps onto the screen.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''STOP!'' ''{The diagram of the body returns, but now, it's a woman's body. "#2" appears on the side and "EN SAP" at the bottom.}'' Pro-positive life tool numero two: ''{silhouettes of the two Blue Laser minions and Gunhaver appear with question marks over them. The minions are labeled "INAPPROPRIATORS"}'' Envision your Inappropriators ''{Gunhaver is labeled "STILL JUST YOU" and the minions turn into pizza slices.}'' as giant slices of pizza.

''{Cut back to the supermarket.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ah-ha ha ha! You're deep-dish! Ah-ha ha! And you've got extra cheese! Ah-ha ha ha ha! Oh, pepperoni!

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' What's with this guy?

'''SECOND BLUE LASER MINION:''' He sounds crazy. Should we shoot him?

'''FIRST BLUE LASER MINION:''' Abso-total-lutely!

''{The second minion pulls out a large gun and aims it at Fightgar, who looks startled. The scene cuts back to Gunhaver and Reynold, who is now wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, with a ball sitting next to him, and we can hear shooting over the next exchange.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' But Gunhaver, I've never had pizza before!

'''GUNHAVER:''' But you know what it looks like, don't you?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{smiling}'' I think so!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Now you're getting it!

''{Cut to an alley next to a building labeled "Seedy Bar". Firebert walks by in the background, while the Blue Laser Commander is standing next to a building.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Jumping out}'' Hey, kid! Wanna smoke some ''candy'' ''{holds up chocolate bar}'' with me?

''{The diagram of the body, which now appears to be a bear, appears over the scene this time. "#3" appears on the right. Firebert and Blue Laser Commander lean back to make room for the diagram}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pro-positive life tool number three: ''{The diagram and "#3" disappear, and Silent Rip appears from the side of the building and throws a smoke bomb.}'' Have your light infantry create a thick smokescreen. ''{The commander starts hacking and coughing, while Firebert pulls out a gun and shoots it at the commander.}'' Then lay down some suppressive fire until the snipers are in position. ''{He stops firing.}'' But look out for surface-to-air antioxidant missiles! ''{Firebert jumps out of the way as three missiles, labelled "100% GREEN TEA" and painted with skulls-and-crossbones, just barely miss the Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then by the time Reinforcements shows up...

''{Reinforcements shows up.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{Cut to a screen with Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ...Your mom ''{an image of a station wagon appears}'' should be waiting for you in the bus turnaround! ''{Cut back to Gunhaver and Reynold.}'' So, do you think you're ready to make ''{more finger quotes}'' appropriate inappropriate whatever thingies now?

'''REYNOLD:''' Yes sir! I'm gonna get high on life!

''{Silent Rip walks up.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' We're about to start the movie! You guys coming?

'''GUNHAVER:''' What do you think, Reynold?

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thinks a moment, then grins}'' I've got dysentery!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Good job, little buddy! ''{pushes Reynold offscreen to stage left, then walks with Silent Rip to stage right}'' Man, I can't wait to see some serious pony carnage!

''{Fade to the Commandos in the Classroom logo again.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{singing}'' Commandos in the classroom!

''{Cut to an image that reads "NEXT WEEK... LESSON 5: LISTEN YOU GUYS, YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO START SHOWERING EVERYDAY"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Next week, lesson 5: Listen you guys, you seriously need to start showering every day!

''{"THE END" and "BACK" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

Strong Bad heads to the comic book convention. Why? To make fun of nerds, of course!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|The Poopsmith}}, {{Film|The King of Town}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' Booth 101, The King of Town's Booth (Easter egg)

'''Date:''' September 5, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 4:00

'''Page Title:''' Con as in Convention!

==Transcript==
''(Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen behind a booth with a banner saying "TROGDOR-Con" above them.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so here we are at TrogdorCon! Got booths set up and lookin' good! So, The Cheat—these cons... what exactly is gonna go on here?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Geeks and nerds?! That doesn't sound like anything I wanna be a part of!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies in skimpy sci-fi costumes? That sounds like everything I wanna be a part of! Are you sure they're in the same place as the geeks and nerds? That doesn't make any sense. Ladies in skimpy outfits should be hanging out with me... and to a lesser degree, football players and rappers. Not geeks, nerds, or any of their smelly brethren.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I'll see it when I believe it.

''{Homestar Runner walks up. He has a paper star taped over his normal star and is wearing a beanie with propeller similar to Old-Timey Homestar's over his usual cap.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh, Booth 101! My favorite booth! Hey, guess who I'm supposed to be!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... Homestar Runner?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, you got it! First try! Was it my star or propeller cap that gave it away?

'''STRONG BAD:''' It was your unbelievably loose grasp on the world around you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I guess I do have one of those. Hey, what kind of cool stuff do you guys have here? Got any pewter figurines or maybe some magna?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, just hangin' out and seeing what walks by.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh oh, I can walk by! Here, watch! ''{Runs offscreen to the left, and instantly returns, walking slowly and staring at his feet}'' Left, right, left, right, right, right, no—left, right, left, right ''{exits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, by the way The Cheat, what are gamertags? Why do we have boxes of them behind us?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So we're not really selling gamertags?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're we really gonna be selling? Some of those ''million sided dies''?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, us hanging out selling gamertags is a front for us plain ol' hanging out.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, you're a genius! I don't pay you enough!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{glares at Strong Bad}'' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh right, I don't pay you at all. That's what I meant to say. Now let's kick back and see if we can't summon some skimpily clad ladies to ye olde gamertag booth.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat jumps onto the table and plays an alpine horn}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Where'd you get that bad boy?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Booth 709, huh? I'll have to go check that out!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They've got axes and swords!? Man, this con just keeps gettin' better all the time! ''{Strong Sad enters from left, wearing a pair of semi-transparent Trogdor-style wings, an armband, eyeliner, blood teardrops, a tribal-tattoo style design around his belly button, and with his toenails painted black}'' Oh, and we've hit a snag.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What are you guys doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hangin' out. Don't tell nobody, but secretly we're really just hangin out.

'''STRONG SAD:''' But didn't it cost money to get a booth?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I don't know where The Cheat got 500 bucks or where your missing 500 bucks is. All I know is that we're hanging out here at TrogdorCon '97! Or in your case, Trog-''dork-on'' '97.

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's not called TrogdorCon and it's 2005!

'''STRONG BAD:''' It might be for you, but ''{pause}'' you're... a butt. ''{smiles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's a good 'un, Strong Bad. Okay, I'm gonna go buy some ''{with exaggerated inflection and movements}'' anime!

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's called japanimation! Least it was last time I checked, which was 1987. ''{The Poopsmith walks by in shadow in his Sleestak costume.}'' I don't know about all this, The Cheat. Maybe it's time we filled up that horn of yours with pea soup and tried to shoot it all the way over to that Godzilla guy's booth.

''{The Cheat holds up a can of pea soup and the horn. He and Strong Bad run off. The word "endeth" appears over the screen, and The Cheat's horn is heard in the distance.}''

==Easter Eggs==

* Clicking the 'tag?' on the "gamertag?" sign at the end will result in this:

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{drenched in pea soup and speaking very angrily}'' Ohhh, somebody picked the wrong authorized [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller to mess with today!

* At the end, click on the period in "endeth." to see Strong Bad criticising people's costumes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, loincloth, please to be putting on more clothes... Ugh... like five or six... more clothes...

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what's up, ironic costume? I suppose you think you're cooler than everyone here! Well guess what: ''You're also here.'' At the comic book convention.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I never thought I'd see the day where a tattoo was a bad thing, but you madam, have shown me the light.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just for fun I think I'm gonna start throwing boxes of gamertags at dudes wearin' kilts.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD''': The fact that your costume is accurate down to the tiniest detail does not change the fact that that TV show ''sucked''.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man if I see another person in a diaper...

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hello Rotunda! Your physique certainly merits you wearing that leather bikini and fishnet hose.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] is the Japanese term for comic books, literally translated as "whimsical pictures." Outside of Japan itself, it specifically refers to comics of Japanese origin (and sometimes comic books drawn in the Japanese style). Homestar's "magna" is a common misspelling and mispronunciation among English-speaking comic book fans.
*Similarly, [[Wikipedia:Anime|Anime]] is the Japanese term for animated cartoons, used outside of the country to specifically refer to cartoons of Japanese origin. [[Wikipedia:Anime|Japanimation]] is an American term for anime that is now rarely used and is considered outdated.

===Trivia===
*Booth 101 was the booth that [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt]] had at [[Store#DragonCon|DragonCon]].
*Booth 709 at DragonCon was occupied by [http://www.edhellen.com/ Edhellen Armoury], and sold axes and swords.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has been shown paying The Cheat in [[lackey]], albeit with pencil shavings.
*This is the longest short to date, and is similar in size to two recently released toons. In fact, it is even longer than the toons [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], [[The Reddest Radish]], and [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]].

===Inside References===
*The Poopsmith's Sleestak costume was first seen in "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".
*The King of Town is shown to hate peas in [[different town]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[1987]] as being the last time he checked whether anime was the same as japanimation.

===Real-World References===
*"Gamertags" are accounts used by [[Wikipedia:Xbox Live|Xbox Live]] subscribers.
*"Million sided die" is in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] style of roleplaying game, where the dice can have anywhere up to [[Wikipedia:Zocchihedron|100 sides]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies in skimpy sci-fi costumes? That sounds like everything I wanna be a part of! Are you sure they're in the same place as the geeks and nerds? That doesn't make any sense. Ladies in skimpy outfits should be hanging out with me... and to a lesser degree, football players and rappers. Not geeks, nerds, or any of their smelly brethren.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I'll see it when I believe it.

''{Homestar Runner walks up. He has a paper star taped over his normal star and is wearing a beanie with propeller similar to Old-Timey Homestar's over his usual cap.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oooh, Booth 101! My favorite booth! Hey, guess who I'm supposed to be!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... Homestar Runner?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, you got it! First try! Was it my star or propeller cap that gave it away?

'''STRONG BAD:''' It was your unbelievably loose grasp on the world around you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I guess I do have one of those. Hey, what kind of cool stuff do you guys have here? Got any pewter figurines or maybe some magna?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, just hangin' out and seeing what walks by.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh oh, I can walk by! Here, watch! ''{Runs offscreen to the left, and instantly returns, walking slowly and staring at his feet}'' Left, right, left, right, right, right, no—left, right, left, right ''{exits}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, by the way The Cheat, what are gamertags? Why do we have boxes of them behind us?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So we're not really selling gamertags?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're we really gonna be selling? Some of those ''million sided dies''?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, us hanging out selling gamertags is a front for us plain ol' hanging out.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, you're a genius! I don't pay you enough!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh right, I don't pay you at all. That's what I meant to say. Now let's kick back and see if we can't summon some skimpily clad ladies to ye olde gamertag booth.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat jumps onto the table and plays an alpine horn}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Where'd you get that bad boy?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Booth 709, huh? I'll have to go check that out!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They've got axes and swords!? Man, this con just keeps gettin' better all the time! ''{Strong Sad enters from left, wearing a pair of semi-transparent Trogdor-style wings, an armband, eyeliner, blood teardrops, a tribal-tattoo style design around his belly button, and with his toenails painted black}'' Oh, and we've hit a snag.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What are you guys doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hangin' out. Don't tell nobody, but secretly we're really just hangin out.

'''STRONG SAD:''' But didn't it cost money to get a booth?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I don't know where The Cheat got 500 bucks or where your missing 500 bucks is. All I know is that we're hanging out here at TrogdorCon '97! Or in your case, Trog-''dork-on'' '97.

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's not called TrogdorCon and it's 2005!

'''STRONG BAD:''' It might be for you, but ''{pause}'' you're... a butt. ''{smiles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's a good 'un, Strong Bad. Okay, I'm gonna go buy some ''{with exaggerated inflection and movements}'' anime!

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's called japanimation! Least it was last time I checked, which was 1987. ''{The Poopsmith walks by in shadow in his Sleestak costume.}'' I don't know about all this, The Cheat. Maybe it's time we filled up that horn of yours with pea soup and tried to shoot it all the way over to that Godzilla guy's booth.

''{The Cheat holds up a can of pea soup and the horn. He and Strong Bad run off. The word "endeth" appears over the screen, and The Cheat's horn is heard in the distance.}''

==Easter Eggs==

* Clicking the 'tag?' on the "gamertag?" sign at the end will result in this:

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{drenched in pea soup and speaking very angrily}'' Ohhh, somebody picked the wrong authorized [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller to mess with today!

* At the end, click on the period in "endeth." to see Strong Bad criticising people's costumes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, loincloth, please to be putting on more clothes... Ugh... like five or six... more clothes...

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, what's up, ironic costume? I suppose you think you're cooler than everyone here! Well guess what: ''You're also here.'' At the comic book convention.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I never thought I'd see the day where a tattoo was a bad thing, but you madam, have shown me the light.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just for fun I think I'm gonna start throwing boxes of gamertags at dudes wearin' kilts.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD''': The fact that your costume is accurate down to the tiniest detail does not change the fact that that TV show ''sucked''.

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man if I see another person in a diaper...

''{cut}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hello Rotunda! Your physique certainly merits you wearing that leather bikini and fishnet hose.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] is the Japanese term for comic books, literally translated as "whimsical pictures." Outside of Japan itself, it specifically refers to comics of Japanese origin (and sometimes comic books drawn in the Japanese style). Homestar's "magna" is a common misspelling and mispronunciation among English-speaking comic book fans.
*Similarly, [[Wikipedia:Anime|Anime]] is the Japanese term for animated cartoons, used outside of the country to specifically refer to cartoons of Japanese origin. [[Wikipedia:Anime|Japanimation]] is an American term for anime that is now rarely used and is considered outdated.

===Trivia===
*Booth 101 was the booth that [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt]] had at [[Store#DragonCon|DragonCon]].
*Booth 709 at DragonCon was occupied by [http://www.edhellen.com/ Edhellen Armoury], and sold axes and swords.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has been shown paying The Cheat in [[lackey]], albeit with pencil shavings.
*This is the longest short to date, and is similar in size to two recently released toons. In fact, it is even longer than the toons [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], [[The Reddest Radish]], and [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]].

===Inside References===
*The Poopsmith's Sleestak costume was first seen in "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".
*The King of Town is shown to hate peas in [[different town]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[1987]] as being the last time he checked whether anime was the same as japanimation.

===Real-World References===
*"Gamertags" are accounts used by [[Wikipedia:Xbox Live|Xbox Live]] subscribers.
*"Million sided die" is in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] style of roleplaying game, where the dice can have anywhere up to [[Wikipedia:Zocchihedron|100 sides]].

24.18.173.38: /* Character Video Transcript */

[[Image:kot.PNG|thumb|right|220px|More butter please!]]

== Biography ==
The King of Town is the de jure ruler of [[Free Country, USA]]. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. He is not considered cool by anyone. One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him (except peas and [[Whatsit]]). His favorite food is butter. He employs [[The Poopsmith]] and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]].

*'''Debut''': [[The King of Town DVD|The King of Town]]

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title''': Go Go Cookie Dough!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]}''

''{'''THE KING OF TOWN''' is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Hello, my loyal subjects. I am The King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. ''{holds up a bowl momentarily}'' Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me The King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle ''{gives a nod to his castle}'', and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. ''{picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}''.

== Fun Facts ==
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed he was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that’s not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don’t visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn’t cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[The VCR|the VCR]] is paused. This is because of the sheep motion tween, because it'd take too long to animate the mouth movements one by one.
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or ''lesser'' value. This is contrary to most value purchases which give you something free when you purchase a similar item of equal or ''greater'' value.
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.

'''Strong Bad Email #70'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad why he is so mean to the guy with the big white face and gray body.

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], [[King of Town's Castle]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Why are you so mean to the guy with 
the big white face and gray body? 
 
Jen C from Millbrae, CA</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second.
''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat.
''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion.
''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt.
''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body.
''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me.
''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors.
''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it!
''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff—oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser.

''{Cut to a screen of the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." with the wristwatch cursor on the screen. Then cut to the field, where Strong Sad is standing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm... You're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm... A single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... Cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make The Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, now reading "Another while later..." Cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh... I'm—I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those Mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like—you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food (which looks like it might be [[General Tso's Chicken]]), grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**The cake Easter egg will not work on some computers, probably because the cake is stored in a separate Flash file.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper." ''(also see Inside References)''
[[Image:thecheat_physiology.png|thumb|Only one organ is present.]]
*The Cheat only 2 organs and no veins, and if one of the organ is the brain, then The Cheats might not use any form of blood. Given the location of the other organ, and the fact that it has a tube extending from it to the mouth, it could possibly be the stomach. On the other hand, the position (behind the ribs) and appearance of the organ might be the heart. Although that too seems fairly impossible due to the fact that there are no viens. As Strong Bad said, "The Cheat's physiology continues to baffle me."
**The Cheat clearly has nerve endings. His nerves dangle out from below the unlabeled brain-like organ in his head.

===Remarks===
*It's strange that Strong Bad arrives at the black and white monitor theory. With such a monitor, "big white face and gray body" could describe every character except Bubs, Pom Pom, and The Cheat (who would all turn out gray-faced) and Marzipan and Strong Mad (who were already ruled out due to their shape).
*It's also strange that Strong Bad says he's been hard on the Poopsmith, since in [[your friends]], he says he did nothing to the Poopsmith because, on account of the Poopsmith's profession, "his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof."
* In the part where Strong Bad says, "Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second...," he's actually typing it, meaning he's sending a reply. Because it's a reply, he should have said "you," not "she."

===Goofs===
*If the contrast is changed before the Mac desktop comes up, then the Mac desktop appears blue instead of grey.
*Strong Sad's face isn't affected by contrast change.
**Also, the bottom of Strong Sad's face is cut off early at the Compy.

===Inside References===
*"Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper" ''(see Trivia)'' is a reference to [[caper]].
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]."
*The Cheat's photo shows him smoking a pipe, as per his nicotine habit seen in [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|the smoking game]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]] His addiction is revisited in [[montage]].

===Real-World References===
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]," and there's an icon on the black and white Mac desktop that says "Compy 086." This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Oddly enough, an early Macintosh would have been running on a [[Wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processor, not on an Intel processor.
*When Strong Bad types out Marzipan's name, it is written in a form of [[wikipedia:leet|1337]].
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.
*Karateka is the Japanese word for a practitioner of Karate. Karate literally means "empty hand".
*The old-timey Mac wallpaper has a floppy disk icon that reads "The Manhole," one of the first computer games by Cyan, the company that would go on to make Myst.
*Strong Bad calls the Poopsmith "doodoo man", which could possibly be a reference to the song "Rap De Rap Show" on De La Soul's album De La Soul Is Dead (The main character in "Rap De Rap Show" is called the DooDoo Man.) "De La Soul Is Dead" is one of [[Matt Chapman]]'s favorite albums, which makes this fun fact more plausible.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs are still viewable using either the angle button on your DVD remote or pressing down to find the bad graphics Strong Bad at the end of the email.
