'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' Another freakin' email, another freakin' email song.

Hey Strongbad- 
I'm a little worried that you might be losing your edge. I 
heven't seen any shennanigans from you or The Cheat in 
a while. 
Yours, etc 
Gee Tee, Los Burbankos, CA 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the hyphen as "minus", "heven't" as spelled, and "shennanigans" ''[sic]'' as "she-ne-ne-nanigans" He expands "yours etc" as "yours, his, hers, mine, ours". He also pronounces the name and place of the sender in a very rushed voice.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Losing our edge?! That's ridiculous. Our shenanigans make the cover of
Have Edge Times Magazine like every month! Like the other day. Me and The
Cheat—

''{scene cuts to [[The Field]]. We see Strong Bad and The Cheat approaching a deflated basketball lying on the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as voiceover}'' —walked past this deflated basketball and consciously decided not to
reinflate it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So what do you think, man?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, now we're talkin'. Let's get out of here before the cops come! ''{Dances nervously}''

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat run off to the right. Scene cuts back to Strong Bad in front of computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then yesterday, we feathered—

''{scene cuts to Strong Sad's bedroom, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing on the bed and throwing feathers from a torn pillow at Strong Sad, whose right side is only just visible at the right of the screen. The Cheat makes little excited noises, and Strong Sad produces quiet, bored-sounding "ow"s.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as voiceover}'' —the living crap out of Strong Sad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You said it The Cheat! Tar ''is'' prohibitively expensive!

''{Scene cuts back to Strong Bad in front of computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But edgiest of all, THIS MORNING, we spread mayonnaise—

''{scene cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat in the Basement, spreading [[Fluffy Puff Mayonnaise]] onto the tops of [[cardboard boxes]]}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as voiceover}'' —on all these cardboard boxes, man. And then waited like, thirty minutes to clean it all up,—

''{clockwise-wipe reveals basement with mayonaise gone, Strong Bad vacuuming, and The Cheat spraying air-freshener. Room twinkles occasionally.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —vacuum, and use air-freshener to get rid of any undesirable odors left by the mayonaise!

''{cut to a rear view of the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thirty whole minutes! Can you be— yeah, okay, we're losing our edge. The Cheat, get in here!

''{cut to a full shot of the computer room as The Cheat appears, wearing an apron}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, with a melodic tone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Take that thing off!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{disappointed The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it is not "pretend-we're-Grandmas-baking" time! ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' And it'll never be again! ''{zoom out}'' ''{sotto voce}'' ''See me after this email.''

''{The Cheat removes apron}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it's time to do some real damage, The Cheat! It's time to get our shenan on! Again!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{enthusiastic The Cheat noise}''

''{left wipe reveals Strong Bad and The Cheat in a room with stacks of eggs in cartons, several battle-axes, a stack of paper towel rolls, and two bottles of "Lite Em Up Dan"-brand lighter fluid near the wall, and a saw, a casserole, and gasoline can on the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, look at this arsenal of edge-haver-y right here, man. We can't go wrong!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, shenanigans! Like, uh, you start sawin' a hole in the floor, and I'll stomp on this casserole.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

''{Strong Bad stomps on casserole while The Cheat saws a hole in the floor around him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha ha! Sorry, casserole, your crusty layer of fried onions is no match for my— ''{screams}''

''{Strong Bad, The Cheat, and the gasoline can fall through the hole in the floor}''

''{Scene change to a pitch-black room. Nothing can be seen besides Strong Bad's and The Cheat's eyes, which appear white with black pupils.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{moan, followed by "yugga-da-yugga" noise of lips flapping while head is shaken vigorously}'' Whoa, where are we? I suddenly feel so ... easy to animate.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno man, but we gotta stay edgy. We can't let this deep, dark hole get us down in a deep, dark hole. Here, lemme kick you. That's a classic
shenani-move. ''{grunts}''

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

''{Strong Bad's eyes move in a way consistent with him winding up to kick The Cheat. The Cheat's eyes move in a way consistent with him backing up slightly. Strong Bad's eyes then flip around and lower in a way consistent with him flipping over and then falling to the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yells, and then a different grunt}'' Geez, Lucy, hold still!

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

''{Strong Bad's left eye disappears; in its place a round white ball appears of roughly the same size. It falls from Strong Bad's face level and rolls away on the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow, my eye!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{scream-like The Cheat noise}''

''{Strong Bad's left eye reappears, opening}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, just kiddin'. It's a ping-pong ball.

''{Another white ball appears from the level of Strong Bad's pants}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I always keep a spare pack ''{a cluster of similar balls appears from Strong Bad's hip-level}'' in my pants. ''{White balls disperse and roll away on the floor.}'' Some would say "pocket"; I say: "in my pants".

''{Faint light appears from above}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hello? Is somebody down there?

''{cut to Strong Sad looking at the hole from above}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Go away, Strong Sad! The Cheat and I are down here shenanigan-ing each other in the dark alone by ourselves.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, are you sure you wanna go on record with that explanation?

''{cut back to dark hole}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course! I don't see how that could possibly be taken out of context! Now either violently throw yourself in here, or scram-oose!

''{cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Fine! But I wasn't the one who—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey wait! Could you get on the internet and look up if cutting a hole in your own floor is edgy?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah, sure. ''{mimes typing}'' Tappity-tappity-tap. Yeah, I just checked. It is.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awesome, I thought so!

''{cut back to dark hole}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where'd you check, like "Have Most Edge Guy" or edgetangle.com, one o' those?

''{cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup, all the most popular sites. Uh, they recommend staying in the hole for a few days too. So I can finish my novelle-ique.

''{cut back to dark hole}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cool! I mean, we've got foot-stomp casserole down here, so we should be good! Could you toss down something to drink though?

''{cut back to Strong Sad, who walks away to the left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''': Strong Sad? Ah, never mind, ''{cut back to dark hole}'' we'll just drink that gasoline. Doesn't get edgier than that, right?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' High-five, The Cheat!

''{The Cheat's eyes move in a manner consistent with him jumping up to slap Strong Bad's raised hand}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grumbles}'' Thinks we're losing our edge. Pfft!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, but it is too dark to see it.}''

Dear Dude, 
What is your awesome hiding place whenever you play 
hide n' seek. I'm sure you can just stand somewhere and 
noone can find you right. 
Awesomely Yours, 
Dude 1 
Scarlet, MO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the second sentence after "I'm sure you" without rhythm. He also reads "noone" phonetically as "new-nee". After "right", he comments, "Hey man, new-nee can find me wrong if she's good-looking enough." He then reads "Scarlet, MO" as "Scar, Let Moe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, as anyone that has a little brother or a Homestar Runner knows, hide n' seek can be oh so much more useful than ''just'' playing it.

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad is talking to The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...prestigious monk, but I—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking in from the right, interrupting}'' Hey, Strong Bad; hey, The Squeak. ''{both turn, and The Cheat scowls}'' I'm here to make all your dreams come true!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' The Cheat and I are in the middle of a sentence here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What about fifteen cents? I'm here to make fifteen cents come true!

''{Homestar Runner throws three coins on the ground next to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Homestar, I've got an idea. Wanna play hide n' seek?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, that's way better! I'll hide, and you seek! ''{runs off to the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''{turns back to The Cheat}'' Anyways, back to our sentence.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Pretty effective, huh? Of course there are some unpleasant side effects from playing these pleasant games of Hide n' Seek. Er, more like just Hide n'.

''{Cut to the bathroom, which is quite dark. Strong Bad walks in from the right, appearing tired.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sleepy... sleepy pee—

''{The lights come on, and Homestar Runner puts his head up from inside the bathtub; he has cinnamon on his face, and his shirt is torn, with the star hanging off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shouting}'' Ah, you found me!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping in surprise and shouting}'' Aah! Homestar, what are you doing in here?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Remember last spring when you asked if I wanted to play hide n' seek?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{confusedly scratching his head}'' But I've taken at least three baths since then...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appearing tired}'' Oh, I've been in here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping again}'' Aah!

''{The scene fades out, with Strong Bad still in the air and Homestar Runner sinking into the bathtub.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It works the other way, too.

''{Cut to outside Homestar Runner's house, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are holding a rope next to a cage, beneath which are Fluffy Puff marshmallows and a glass of melonade.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{strained, as the cage creaks}'' I don't understand! Where is he? He usually falls for this one by now.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Stupid clever hide n' seek ploy. This thing's gettin' heavy! Switch to the Strong Sad bait.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, as he throws a barrister's wig on top of the other items}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh, parliament!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There was a time when I used to try to play actual games of Hide n' Seek. But it ain't easy with all the brain geniuses around here.

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Mad appears to be attempting to hide by turning his back to The Stick. Strong Bad stands in front.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Strong Mad? Buddy? That's the same spot you hide in every time we play.

''{Strong Mad leans out from behind what is now revealed to be a cutout of himself.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{disappointed}'' DAWWW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah! Did you make a hiding spot out of you hiding in your usual hiding spot? To hide behind?

'''STRONG MAD:''' I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And it was well worth your time.

''{Cut to The Field at night, with a close-up of Strong Bad walking along, hands raised.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{frustrated}'' All right, I give up! ''{calls out}'' Olly olly oxen free!

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing Marzipan with a sign with a picture of an ox, reading "OXEN FREE!"}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Yeah, Ollie, set those oxen free. ''{chanting}'' Oxen free! Oxen free!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh, put your sign away, we're just playing a game.

''{Marzipan turns her sign around to show the other side, with the ox playing baseball and reading "PLAYING A GAME!". Strong Bad shakes his head.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{chanting, still annoyed}'' Playing a game! Playing a game!

''{Cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is balancing motionless on one leg on a podium reading "STRONG BAD", with Coach Z standing to the left.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, check out this extremely attractive statue of Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning to Coach Z}'' No, stupid, you found me. I'm "it" now.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, a back-sassin' animatronic Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Woah, great idea! Coach Z, I think your depressing creepiness may have finally paid off! ''{runs off to the right}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{raising his arms triumphantly}'' It's all been worth it!

''{Cut to The Field, with a close-up of Homestar Runner walking in from the left.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, there you are. I found you definitely found you Strong Bad.

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing that he is talking to a crude animatronic Strong Bad, with a balloon head and rods moving the limbs. It stands on a soapbox with a speaker.}''

'''ANIMATRONIC STRONG BAD:''' Shut your mouth, wimp-cake!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, don't sass back at me! ''{angrily}'' I found you fair, then square.

'''ANIMATRONIC STRONG BAD:''' Sit on a biscuit!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still talking to the animatronic, as Strong Bad walks past in the background}'' Look, Strong Bad, I haven't been playing this game of hide n' seek for six weeks just to have you poor-sportsmanship all over the place now! Why, I've got half a mind.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I rest my case. Rest nothing. My case is in a coma! As for my awesome hiding place, these days I mainly use it to hide from Hide n' Seek. And Kick the Can, Capture the Flag, and don't forget the nebulous TV Tag. Yeah sorry. I'm taking ''this'' hiding place to the grave.

''{Cut to The Bar, zooming out from a suit of armor. Pom Pom appears in the foreground, with an 'old one and a bowl of peanuts. While he looks away at the suit of armor, Strong Bad's arm pops out of Pom Pom and steals the 'old one; Pom Pom turns his head and shrugs.}''

''{Pom Pom looks up at [[New Paper]] as it comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Threestar_Legger.png|thumb|[[unnatural|We must protect the queen! I have three legs!]]]]
===Explanations===
*An [[wikipedia:Animatronics|animatronic]] is a puppet- or robot-like mechanized figure that can add motion, as though the figure is alive.
*[[Wikipedia:Kick the can|Kick the can]], [[Wikipedia:Capture the flag|Capture the flag]] and [http://www.centerofweb.com/kids/games/tag_tv.htm TV Tag] are actual games.
*"[[Wikipedia:Olly olly oxen free|Olly olly oxen free]]" is a phrase used in children's games, which is generally used to indicate that people who are hiding (in a game of hide and seek, for example) can safely come out into the open.

===Remarks===
*Although the three coins Homestar throws are supposedly all nickels, they are not all the same size.
*The bathtub where Homestar hides has no faucet.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar walks in and interrupts Strong Bad and The Cheat's "sentence", he appears to have an extra leg sticking out of his shirt for two frames.
*In the Easter Egg, Animatronic Strong Bad's head snaps suddenly back into place, even though it is a balloon.
**Also in the very start of the easter egg, the grape-nuts robot briefly has audio bolts coming out of its speaker, even though it's not saying anything.
*Strong Mad's hiding spot has a hole in its right fist.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Strongbad_armgoof.PNG|thumb|That's not muscle!]]
*Several times during the toon, all of Strong Bad's arm except one outline used to disappear.
**This happened while he was talking to The Cheat in The Field, once while he was talking to Homestar in the bathtub, and twice while talking to Strong Mad at The Stick. In the first two instances, Strong Bad's right arm disappeared. His left arm disappeared in the last two.
*During the bathroom scene, Strong Bad's entire right arm was gone when he walked in and only appeared after the lights came on.
*New Paper used to come down outside of the toon's frame, overlapping the outer black border.


===Inside References===
*Homestar walking in on Strong Bad and The Cheat "in the middle of a sentence" is another instance of [[interrupted conversations]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Kicking a can|Kick the Can]] as a game.
*When Homestar rises from the bathtub, he appears similar to how he did in [[hygiene]], except he also has a [[Cinnamon|cinnamon beard]].
*The [[soapbox]] reads "sixteen for you".
*In the Easter egg, Animatronic Strong Bad makes a reference to his [[parents|dad]].
*The Cheat was previously referred to as "Squeak" in [[narrator]], as one of the title characters in the film ''[[Films from narrator#Lugnut & Squeak|Lugnut & Squeak]]''.

===Real-World References===
*The hairstyle of Moe on the cover of ''Scar, Let Moe!'' is patterned after the hairstyle of [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe]] from [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges]].
*Strong Sad shouts "Parliament" upon seeing the barrister's wig, which is commonly worn by members of the [[Wikipedia:House of Lords|House of Lords]] in the British Parliament.

==Transcript==
''{Camera tilts down to reveal Homestar Runner calling on his cordless phone, sitting on his couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Pom Dog. It's Homedog. Yeah, dog. You wanna hang out? Oh? Oh. Firmware upgrade. No, that sounds important. No, it's cool. I'll catch you later. Boop! Oh.

''{Homestar actually hangs up the phone. Reverse shot, with a list marked "Phone People". Pom Pom (Pom Dog) is crossed out. Homestar dials the phone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad? No? Cool.

''{Homestar hangs up. Strong Bad's name is crossed off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs! In federal prison? ''{Homestar hangs up; white frame}'' Coach Z? In juvenile prison?

''{Homestar hangs up. Coach Z's name is crossed off the list. Increasing Dutch angle shots as Strong Sad and The Cheat are crossed off. Cut to Homestar lying on his couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Disappointed}'' Nah, it's cool. I forgot today was you and Brunswick stew's anniversary. 'Kay. Bye.

''{Homestar hangs up. King Of Town's name is crossed off. Homestar sighs off camera.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll just have to call —

''{Cut to Strong Mad opening the door.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' CAN HOMESTAR COME OUT AND PLAY?

''{Title "Play Date" drops down over a black background.}''

''{Crossfade to Homestar leaning out his front door talking to Strong Mad.)''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, we don't really call it "playing" anymore, Strong Mad. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' It's more like hanging out, messing around, kicking back...

''{Two shot of Homestar and Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' LET'S FOOL AROUND!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hm. Maybe not "fool around" either. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' Why don't we get down to business? Let's play. Or, kick around. Whatever.

''{Two shot}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' LET'S PLAY BLOCKS!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blocks, eh? I'm not opposed to the classics. Let's play some blocks.

''{Push wipe left to a tower of cinder blocks wavering slightly. Strong Mad grunts off camera and another cinder block flies to the top of the pile. Pull back to reveal Homestar pushed into the ground with the blocks on top of his chest.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{strained}'' You know, this is exactly what I thought you had in mind. ''{Close up on Homestar}'' Not sure why I agreed to it. How 'bout we play catch?

''{Push wipe left to Homestar crouching slightly, his cap on backwards, and a baseball glove floating in front of him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! Fire it in here! Gimme the old pepper atta pepper whatta pepper who's a pepper— ''{Strong Mad grunts off camera and Bubs' Concession Stand lands on Homestar, who drops his glove}'' Oof!

''{Bubs pops up in the Stand}''

'''BUBS:''' It's a relocation sale! Fifty percent off all badly beaten Homestars!

''{Push wipe down to Homestar, with bandages on his head and face, and Strong Mad sitting on the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shakily & sounding exhausted}'' Okay, Strong Mad. We're going to have a little something I like to call "Migraine Time". We can play your new favorite game, ''{pull back to a wider shot}'' Feathers and Cotton. Ready? Go.

''{Homestar puts an ice pack on his face. A meteor falls through the ceiling, crushing Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Waugh!

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS ONE'S NOT MY FAULT!

''{Nebulon pokes up from the meteor, looking around. Nebulon's sound effect is heard}''

''{Push wipe up Homestar heavily bandaged, legs in casts, and sitting in a wheelchair in The Field. Strong Mad is standing next to him, smiling apologetically.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow! I had a real great time messing around, Strong Mad. But next time, maybe we should just play.

''{Strong Bad enters from the left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks for babysitting the little guy for me, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' AWWWW! TIME TO GO?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, sorry, man. ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' Cinder blocks, structural damage, and meteors? It's definitely time for your nap.

''{Pull back to previous shot. Strong Mad and Strong Bad exit left, Strong Mad pouting and sobbing a little.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whew! Bubs, hit me with a Cold One. ''{Camera shift right to reveal Bubs' Concession Stand, as Homestar's wheel chair leans back. Bubs slides an 'Old One down the counter.}''

''{Cut to black. A crash is heard followed by a gulp.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahh. Thanks, man.

''{"END" appears on the screen as music plays. A dot soon follows and the word back fades in the lower left corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===

*Homestar's telephone uses [[Wikipedia:Dual-tone multi-frequency|dual-tone multi-frequency dialing]] and the numbers can therefore be determined from the tones produced. Homestar dials the following numbers:
**5-3-3 at the beginning of the toon before saying, "Hey Pom Dog..."
**8 after hanging up on Pom Pom.
**8-6-5-3-3 before talking to Strong Bad
**8 after hanging up on Strong Bad and before talking to Bubs.
**8 after hanging up on Bubs and before talking to Coach Z.
**8 after hanging up on Coach Z.
**5-3 before talking to the King of Town.
**8 after hanging up on the King of Town.
*In the Easter egg, Bubs' arms are in the older, bendy state.
*The word "END" appears to come down over the top of the first Easter Egg: in the last frame, you can see bottom half of the word at the top of the screen.

===Goofs===
*The Poopsmith appears after Strong Sad and The Cheat the first time Homestar's list is shown, but between the two in subsequent appearances of the list.
*When Bubs' Conncesion Stand is seen at the end, it is more tilted that it was at first.

===Inside References===
*Homestar refers to Pom Pom as [[My Dog|Pom Dog]].
*The King of Town is on a date with [[Stew|Brunswick Stew]].
*Strong Mad ripped Bubs' Concession Stand out of the ground in [[Fall Float Parade]].
*The loading screen reads "[[Irregular Loading Screens|load it]]".
*There is another appearance of [[Strong Mad Smiling]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar Runner shouting about "peppering" is a reference to [[Looney Tunes|Bugs Bunny]]'s similar shouting during [[Wikipedia:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] after which Bugs grins and says, "That's the old pepper, boy!"
**Homestar's chatter starts to follow [[Wikipedia:Dr Pepper|Dr. Pepper's]] jingle from the 1970s and 1980s, "Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?"

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Green green grass... A pleasant ghost... Strong Bad Email, make us some toast! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Sbemail Fan Club?</div>
Does your e-mail show have it<nowiki>''</nowiki>s own fan club? Whose the 
president of it? And what do they do? 
Best regards, 
David, Northern Ireland. 
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad stutters the word "it<nowiki>''</nowiki>s" a little, and pronounces "whose" heavily and with an s instead of z sound.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ah, fan clubs. Sweet, innocent, restraining order-inducing fan clubs. Don't get me wrong, fans are great. It's the addition of 'club' that totally roons it. ''{clears the screen}'' Which is the opposite of how it usually works. For instance: turkey = ''{the word is typed in a dull brown color; other voices accompany him}'' mrenh, turkey club = ''{the word appears in a rainbow of colors}'' mmmMMRENHhhhh! ''{the other voices cheer "Yay!"}'' But yes, there is a sbemail fan club. Its members call themselves 'Deleteheads' and in a chocolate-covered bit of Stockholm syndrome-esque irony, their president is brother Strong Sad!

''{cut to Strong Sad standing at a table in his room. He is wearing a hat styled after a computer's delete key, which reads "Del" on it}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' Popa-ulation: Tiii-iii-iiire! ''{sits, producing [[the Geddup Noise]]}'' All right, deleteheads. It's been a big week for the fan club.

''{cut to Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Cinderblock sitting across from him, all wearing the same delete key hat}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' We finally switched over our web hosting from ''{cut back to Strong Sad}'' Geofire to Angelcities.

''{screen of the Deleteheads website, called "The Delete-Heads Website", pops up. There is a pixelated picture of Strong Bad dancing, as well as links to "Our friend Scott's website".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And they've upgraded all of our dead links to hyperlinks!

''{the website screen drops off again, showing Strong Sad once more}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' We also had several interesting discussions in the ongoing debate series "Non Sequitur Champion: Cardgage or Homsar".

''{scene cuts to either Senor Cardgage or Homsar, chosen at random:}''

*'''HOMSAR:''' ''{wearing a computer key hat that reads "Thump"}'' My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!

*'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{standing next to a duffel bag}'' Carrageenan, Monteljohn. Can you detect me to the nearest bus stamp?

''{cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...Well, debate's over! Oh, and I just received confirmation today that Abdi LaRue, ''{scene switches to the view of Strong Mad and The Cheat}'' sender of the first ''{Strong Mad grins}'' Strong Bad Email, ''{cut back to Strong Sad}'' is a lock for this year's FHQWHfest.

''{the flier for "FHQWHfest '08" appears}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And there's a rumor ''{the flier disappears}'' going around that Stro Bro himself might show up to sign autographs!

''{Strong Bad walks by, seen through the doorway, carrying an overly-long submarine sandwich. The sandwich continues to go by the doorway after Strong Bad's line}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... I'm not comin'.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Don't forget to bombard Strong Bad with emails on Sunday night. ''{thumps fist for emphasis}'' I think we should go with asking about Bubs's first wife. Some good potential there. ''{at this point, The Cheat, still wearing his Del hat, can be seen through the doorway, carrying the end of Strong Bad's sandwich.}'' She was a real firebrand, that one!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's fan ''clubs'', the next worst word you can couple with the word 'fan' is, you guessed it, ''{ominous, eerie music plays}'' the word ''{Strong Bad's voice slows down, and the camera zooms in on the word as he types it}'' 'fiction.'

''{cut to a sheet of paper. The words appear typed on the paper as Strong Sad says them}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' A Grade A Gray Day, a sbemail fanfic by S.Sad

''{pan down to show the Lappy from the back. Strong Sad's words appear above the scene now}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' The Lappy hummed quietly to itself.

''{the scene changes to show Strong Bad rubbing his chin and puzzling over the Lappy. Strong Bad mouths the dialogue Strong Sad gives him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' "Curious," said Strong Bad, "Very curious indeed."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since that's totally the way I talk.

''{cut to a shot of the Lappy's screen, showing the message "Your inbox has 0 new messages".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' His inbox flickered "0 new messages" back at him.

''{cut back to a long shot of Strong Bad and the Lappy, with empty space on the left side}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is definitely fiction.

''{Homestar walks in, also mouthing the dialogue Strong Sad narrates. After the word "striding", the words no longer appear at the top of the scene.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' "Ahoy, Strong Bad," said Homestar Runner striding casually into the room. ''{close up of Homestar}'' "You'll never have to answer another email again!" ''{cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad}'' "Grandiose," replied Strong Bad, eyelids lowered. ''{Strong Bad lowers his eyelids}'' "What did you do this time?"

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' Hey, Strong Bad. Check out my Strong Sad impression. Ahem.

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' "I turned them all over to Twelve-Times-A-Day Man!"

''{Cut to a long shot of Homestar with empty space on the left side. Twelve-Times-A-Day Man, who is Strong Sad dressed in a yellow mask and cape, with a logo reading "12X" on his chest, flies down from the top of the screen and lands behind Homestar}''

'''TWELVE-TIMES-A-DAY MAN:''' I can do it! I can do it twelve times!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad.

''{cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Twelve-Times-A-Day Man? You can't just start making up terrible new characters!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...he said, putting on a bonnet, ''{a bonnet appears on Strong Bad's head}'' and giving Homestar a deep-tissue massage. ''{the Lappy flies up out of Strong Bad's way, as he raises his arms and approaches Homestar unwillingly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bah! No!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, this gon' be good! ''{turns away so Strong Bad can rub his back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it. Two can play at this extremely nerdy game!

''{a piece of notebook paper comes down instead. His words also appear as he says them, while dialogue appears in word balloons}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' INTO the MORONOSPHERE!! A deleteheads fan ''fiction'', ''{the following does not appear}'' because I have plenty of time to say both syllables. ''{the following words appear}'' By Strong Bad.

''{cut to a rough drawing of Strong Sad sitting at a table, with a poorly drawn The Cheat and an angry rectangle, presumably Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over, speaking as Strong Sad}'' "And that's why I like ALL them Star Tracks!" ''{normal voice}'' ...said Strong Sad, an entire bag of Twizzlers falling out of his mouth.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey! You know I can't eat Twizzlérs!

''{cut to a drawing of Strong Sad being menaced by a long sandwich with eyes and fangs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Suddenly, an eight-foot sub sandwich constrictor eng...sm...sploded out of nowhere! ''{the caption "engsmsplode!" is added to the drawing, with a burst around the sandwich constrictor for emphasis}''

''{cut to Strong Sad, who is very poorly drawn}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You can't just start making up terrible new words!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...whined Strong Sad,—

''{scene changes to a picture of the sandwich constrictor partially wrapped around Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' —already up to his waist in braided hoagie roll.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, okay! I'll go easy on the fan fic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Just then,—

''{the scene changes to show Homestar coming in from the left. His shirt and soles are missing (though he still has a star on his chest), and a leaf is covering his crotch}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' —Homestar traipsed in, naked as a jaybird.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Fiction! I mean fiction! I'll go easy on the fan FICTION!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning in close; Strong Sad is looking away}'' Hey 12 Times A Day Man, are you gonna eat all them Twizzlérs?

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ohh, grandiose! Very grandiose indeed! Maybe fan clubs and fan fiction aren't so bad after all. In fact, I'm gonna go dabble in a little King of Town fan fiction right now.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...said Strong Bad.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves, producing the Geddup Noise}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...said Chairscoot.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...said the New Paper.

''{Open to Cheerleader standing with What's Her Face and So and So.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh boy, girls... Boys!

'''SO AND SO:''' Uh, what about them?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nothing really. I just like to say the word.

''{Cut to close up of Cheerleader.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{makes a weird face}'' Boys.

''{Cut back to everyone. The Ugly One walks in with a "YEAR BOOK".}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Last day of school, my better looking sistas! And that means it's YEARBOOK DAY!!

''{Quick cut to the girls fighting inside a cloud of dust.}''

'''ALL:''' LEMME SEE MY PICTURE! LEMME SEE MY PICTURE!

''{Cut to Cheerleader with a frown pulling the book out of the pile. The cover of the book now reads, "The AWKWARDIAN '08".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Gimme that jank. ''{pile disappears}'' Here I am, right between Cheerladder and Cheerlubber. Ugh. I look terrible.

''{Close-up of the yearbook, showing Cheerladder (a ladder with a face, holding a "G'backs" megaphone), Cheerleader with a fangs and a dead bird stuck to her face, and Cheerlubber, a whale with pom-poms, a pirate hat and an eye-patch}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{off screen}'' I can't believe they scheduled school pictures for the same day as tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day. That finch was hard to kill.

''{Cut to So-and-so, holding up her hand.}''

''{Cut to So-and-so in her Scantron armor, sitting at a desk next to a teacher holding a test.}''

'''MRS. FRILLSNECK:''' Here's your final exam class... it's a ditto.

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{looking distraught}'' A DITTO?! But Mrs. Frillsneck, I studied for a standardized test!

''{Cut to Scantron against a background of lines.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Scantron vs MimeogWrath!

''{"vs" and the "mimeogWrath" appear; it is a six-eyed monstrous piece of paper with tentacles, horns and legs. Its eyes, mouth and "Final Exam Ditto" are drawn in purple.}''

''{Scantron is blown apart, the head and limbs coming apart in the explosion.}''

'''SO-AND-SO:''' ''{as Scantron}'' AHH! My secret weakness!!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't believe we have to dress out for our P.E. exam. I'm so tired of washing this uniform every day. ''{crosses her hands}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{evasively, making a face}'' Yes... washing... them... ever

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{pointing as she completes the sentence}'' —ryday!

''{Coach appears to the left, holding a stopwatch.}''

'''COACH:''' Okie dokie ladygals. Your physical education final exam consists of me not making any misinterpreted remarks about the length of your shorts ''{holds out the stopwatch}'' and you doing a single push-up.

'''CHEERLEADER, THE UGLY ONE & WHAT'S HER FACE:''' NO!!!

'''COACH:''' ''{shaken, holding up his hands}'' Hey great work! You all get A's!!

''{Close up of Cheerleader, looking annoyed. Her singlet reads "Growlback's Phys. Ed."}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Thank groodness. ''{smiles, pointing up}'' Sweating is against several of my religions!

''{A boy crashes a cart into Cheerleader, apparently killing her; towels and gym kit fall from the cart.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TOWEL BOY'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' Hey!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically; his words do not appear}'' Oh, excuse me. ''{the previous words are replaced}'' TEAM MANAGER'D!!

''{What's Her Face throws objects out from her locker as she speaks.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Old papers... ''{throws papers}'' old pencils... ''{throws pencils}'' old person... ''{throws Mr. Pitters}''

'''MR. PITTERS:''' ''{hurriedly}'' I left a check for last month's rent on the table!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{waving}'' See you in September! ''{puts her hand back in her locker}'' Ooh. Whats this?

''{What's Her Face is eaten by a giant cake with fangs and limbs.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' REVENGE OF THE CROSS COUNTRY BOOSTER CLUB BAKESALE!!

'''EVIL CAKE:''' ''{holding up one of its hands}'' Tastes like 9 minute miles!

''{Cut to The Ugly One reading the yearbook.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can't believe I was voted most prettiest.

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing three seniors laughing and pointing. One wears a baseball cap with a "G". The Ugly One looks upset.}''

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Heh heh senior prank.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset}'' Oooooh.

''{The Ugly One is upset again, but then three trash cans are thrown over the seniors, and she smiles.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' COME UPPENCE!

'''SENIORS:''' Something got dumped on us! We'll never live it down! Our reputations are ruined!

''{Music starts, and Quarterback walks in.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, throwing the yearbook away}'' Quarterman!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' Ugly One, all this time I was looking around, and you weren't right there in front of me. ''{close up}'' But I realized—when I was looking around—that you were right there in front of me—all this time—Ugly One.

''{Cut back to both of them.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' That makes so much sense!!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' ''{offering his arm}'' Will you accompany me to the end credits?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{putting her arm in his}'' I'd love to!!

''{The end credits roll, first showing "It's over!", then The Ugly One and Quarterback in a parking lot, then the seniors with trash cans on their heads, and "It's over" again.}''

<blockquote>Directed by Strong Bad 
Special Scantron FX oversawed by Bubs 
"It's over" performed by Tite Rolled</blockquote>

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over the end credits}'' It's over! And you're walking into a parking lot with a hot guy. It's over! And they all make fun of you, but they got stuff dumped on top of them. ''{music stops}'' It's over!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Scantron.png|thumb|Scantron]]
*At the end, click on the "o" to see issue 87 of "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It features [[Strong_Badman_Characters#Scantron|Scantron]] with a word bubble reading "I need your help. Strong Badman! My comic book's not selling well!" Text at the bottom of the cover reads "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|Canon]] refers to a collection of fictional events that create a ficticious universe, such as the Marvel Universe or the Star Wars galaxy. Some fan communities take canon very seriously and try to fit every piece of fiction about said universe seamlessly together.
*[[Wikipedia:Scantron|Scantrons]] are a type of fill-in-the-bubble test sheet that are commonly used in high schools and middle schools.

===Remarks===
*Cheerleader remarks that she had to "tape a dead thing to her face" on Picture Day, but Cheerladder and Cheerlubber didn't, for some reason.

===Goofs===
*The Strong Badman comic is labeled as the [[1987|87]]th issue, even though there already was an [[:Image:EnterTooSoonMan.png|issue 87]] featuring "Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man".
*At the end, clicking on "again" simply repeats the final credits rather than the entire cartoon.
*There is a slight difference in spacing in the text "DiXON TICONDEROGA LAZER" before and after the word "BLADE" appears.
*Right before the credits move up, they start to move down for a split-second.

===Inside References===
*Cheerleader is wearing a "Fighting Growlbacks" T-shirt during her gym final. The Growlbacks were first mentioned as the school's mascot in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
*"Thank groodness" is the reappearance of an older [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "great" and "good", also from Issue 4.
*The third Senior has a "[[G]]" on his cap.

===Real-World References===
*So-and-So's transformation into "Scantron" (as well as her saying "And I'll form the head!") is reminiscent of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Science Fiction Greg's remarks that So-and-So's Scantron armor "looks nothing like the comic books" parodies fan complaints of superhero movies that differ in some way from their comic book counterparts (for example, the [[Wikipedia:Transformers (film)|live-action ''Transformers'' movie]], which had considerably different robot designs than the original '80s cartoon).
*Quarterback's song refers to "What I've Been Looking For" from the Disney television film [[Wikipedia:High School Musical|High School Musical]].

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' If everybody in the world checked their email, the Internet would probably break.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: cerial box toys</div>
Hey ho, Strongbad. 
What kind of free toys would you put in specially marked 
cerial boxes? 
PB 
Over the hills 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads 'Hey ho, Strongbad' as 'Hey! Ho! Strongbad!' (as if it was from "Blitzkrieg Bop") and 'cerial' as 'keh-ree-al'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh, I'm glad you asked, Problem Brian. I've been wanting to give specially marked boxes of cereal a specially marked piece of my mind for some time now.

''{A dotted-line circle appears near the top of Strong Bad's head. Two lines appear, going from the circle to a new circle, this time larger and in front of Strong Bad's head. In the bigger circle, there is a picture of Strong Bad's brain.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I choose...this piece.

''{An arrow points to a spot on the left side of Strong Bad's brain. He clears the screen, and the circles disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well before you get the toys inside, you first have to navigate the treacherous, jaggedy rock filled class 5 rapids of specially marked cereal box fake outs! Luckily, I'm a lame sandal wearing hippie with a ponytail that's been down these rapids with groups of tourists many times!

''{Cuts to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat, wearing a ponytail and a helmet, respectively, are in the 'Riverquest Safariventure' box, with a hose running in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok guys, now I'm gonna need everyone to lean hard to the right! ''{Strong Bad pulls out some sort of microphone and makes a clicking noise}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad walks in from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first hazard you have to watch out for is cereals with anything grown in Iowa in the name. You know...

''{Music starts to play in the background.}''

''{As Strong Bad says the items, boxes of Corn Flakes, Wheat Chaff, Oh T'meel, Cripsy Hog Crunchities, and Fundament-o's appear, in that order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...corn, wheat, oats, hogs, fundamentally-sound college basketball players. Please, to stay away from these. Those cereals only ever put fitness-related crap in specially marked boxes.

''{A picture of a step counter appears against a blue background. In flashing letters on the bottom, it says 'One Free TakesteppaTM Step Take Monitor!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Oh, great! I can count how many steps I took today!

''{A picture of a defibrillator appears on-screen. At the top of the screen, it reads 'Clear?! One FreeTM Defib Kit Inside!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Fantastic! I can restart my heart if it stops!

''{Cut back to Marzipan's kitchen, where Strong Bad's face is on a box of 'Hypothetic-O's'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What you do want to look for are cereals with sound effects in the name.

''{The box flies off-screen. When Strong Bad names the sound effects, boxes of Fruit Smax, Chocolate Breakfast Candy Bar Pops, Soundy Puffs, Blue Laser Blasts, and Sugar Rittled Gunshots in a Crowded Mall appear in order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Smacks, pops, puffs, blasts, and, um, gunshots in a crowded mall.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen. X, explosion, boxing glove, square, shoe, and [[Marshie]] shaped marshmallows appear around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, the kind with the squarish, sugared pieces of styrofoam that they claim are marshmallows. These are guaranteed to have a nice, big—

''{Cut to a dirty Strong Bad hand reaching in the box of Cheat Commandos...O's}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —reach-your-nasty-unwashed-hand-straight-to-the-bottom-of-the-box toy in it.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen with a box of Fruit Smax on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next up are the three most useless letters in the specially marked alphabet.

''{Zoom to Strong Bad's mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' U...P...C.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you spot these wastes of serif on a cereal box,

''{Cut to a bar code}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' turn and run as fast as you can.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This means not only are they gonna make you buy ''{six more boxes of Fruit Smax appear}'' several more boxes that you have to cut the bar codes off of, but you're also gonna—

''{Cut to a close shot of a Cereal Flakes box. Above, the red text reads "FREE PLUSH CEREAL BOX" and the black text reads "WITH 25 PROOFS OF PURCHASE AND $15 SHIPPING AND HANDLING"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —have to involve your mom to write a check for the shipping and handling if she's back from Vegas!

''{Record scratch. Cut back to Strong Bad standing, talking angrily}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The nerve of those cereals! You leave my mom ''{slams fist on the table}'' out of this!

''{Screen changes, there is now a box of Cheat Commandos...O's on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Some cereals can't even be bothered with a toy at all.

''{Cut to the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They try and pass off the back of the box—

''{Box flips, revealing a cutout of Crack Stuntman's head, with holes at the sides so that it can be made into a mask. On the top left are scissors indicating that it can be cut out and the words "snip snip".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as some kind of prize. ''{Zoom in on the mask}'' That dotted line you expect me to cut along is like a toyless slap in my face! Masks,

''{The image of Crack's face becomes a maze. [[Gunhaver]] appears in the bottom left at the maze's entrance, with a caption reading "Help! I'm lost!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' mazes,

''{The top part of the maze becomes a word search, most of which consists of uncommon letters, like "Q", while the words "'''BUY MORE CEREAL'''" appear in bold. [[Reynold]] is seen on the upper right, with a caption reading "Find 3 words!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' word searches, PAH!

''{Throws box, cut back to Strong Bad standing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know the kind of kids that enjoyed these funtivities on the backs of cereal boxes, and let me tell you, they were real easy to beat up.

''{Homestar Runner walks in wearing a Crack Stuntman mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah, Strong Bad, blah! I'm a crappy Stuntman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what kind of toys I'd put in specially marked boxes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anything ''{Reaches into a cereal box}'' heavy and pointy enough ''{Zoom in on box}'' to do lasting damage to the face.

''{Zooms out as Strong Bad takes out a chainsaw-car and throws it at Homestar, knocking him backwards onto the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wahhhh! Strong Bad, while I'm down here, can you help me finish this word search? I can't find 'dextrose-flavornoids'.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on Homestar's foot at the end to see a [[printable]] [[Crack Stuntman]] mask.
*Click on Strong Bad's head at the end to see [[Breakfast Cereals from Specially Marked|all the cereal boxes shown in the email]].

*"Flavornoid" may be a [[portmanteau]] of flavor and [[Wikipedia:Flavonoid|flavonoid]], a member of a group of substances found in many plants and plant-based foods with anti-oxidant properties.

===Trivia===
*The Cheat Commandos O's box now has Fightgar saying "Those still aren't O's!", similar to Fightgar's comment "Those aren't O's!" on the box in [[Cheat Commandos...O's]].

=== Goofs ===
*The "Problem Brian" Easter egg is still clickable when hidden by the closeup of Strong Bad's brain.
*Strong Bad's hair doesn't move in sync with his head in the Riverquest Safariventure scene.

*This toon prominently features [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]].
*Strong Bad says to "leave [his] [[parents|mom]] out of this."

=== Real-World References ===
[[Image:SBbrain.PNG|150px|thumb|Strong Bad's brain!]]
*The opening of the email, "Hey, ho, Strong Bad," is said in a way reminiscent of "[[Wikipedia:Blitzkrieg Bop|Blitzkrieg Bop]]" by [[Wikipedia:Ramones|the Ramones]]. The song's chant was previously parodied in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], in which [[Marzipan]] dressed up as [[Wikipedia:Joey Ramone|Joey Ramone]].
* Strong Bad's [[Brains|brain]] is based off the second form of the final boss in the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|Super Nintendo]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Contra III: The Alien Wars|Contra III: The Alien Wars]]''.

*There was a cereal named [[Wikipedia:Smacks|Smacks]]. It had previously been known as Honey Smacks, and had its name simplified in the 1990s because its mascot, the Dig 'Em Frog, was simply calling them Smacks. The name was reverted in 2004.
*There was a cereal named [[Wikipedia:Corn Pops|Pops]]. It was previously known as Corn Pops, and was changed to Pops in mid 2006, but was reverted that same year due to poor sales.
