'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! ''{presses enter}'' ''{singing}'' Doo doo doo Dear, Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering—''{stops singing}'' I can't keep this up.

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: portrait</div>
Dear Strong Bad- 
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
paint a portrait of  your greatness. 
guess what, it's- 
Dylan Brangers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.) I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad holding a toy with a duck's head on the end.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top and paints a robotank with spraypaint and a stencil, along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' Thanks little buddy; now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes noises like Strong Bad is welcome}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a rich-guy newspaper. An image of Strong Bad holding a cell phone is on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines... Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse Code. ''{imitates speaking as though in Morse Code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I-I a-am h-hold-i-ing a-a r-re-eal-ly o-old c-cell ph-phone.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased—

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for—Whoa!—

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a poster of a unicorn. Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee.

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those. ''{Cut back to the wide shot.}'' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a cardboard cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man has "SB" written on his stomach and is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from, and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical key-sword-tar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click the white card by the portrait by the Deutsch Master to see an "Adventures of [[Strong Badman]]" comic book.
*Click the key-sword-tar at the end to see a printable version of the robotank stencil the Cheat used to vandalize the painting.
*Click Lord Quackingstick at the end to see Strong Bad show off his key-sword-tar to Homestar.
:''{Cut to The Field with Homestar and Strong Bad holding the key-sword-tar, his head still in the hole, although it has been broken off from the rest of the portrait.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' So that's when I realized I don't even need lamaze classes.

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, there's something different about you. Did you get a haircut?

:'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but I did get this new key-sword-tar. Maow, maow, maoooooooow. ''{falsetto}'' Keyboard, keyboooooard. ''{normal}'' Maow, maow, maooooooooow. ''{falsetto}'' Fight some brigands!! ''{Homestar holds up a [[SAAB Lighter|SAAB lighter]], Strong Bad's voice returns to normal}'' Maow Maow, Maoooow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-owwowwoww-whammy-barrrrruh.

===Goofs===
*The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
*In the Easter Egg, when Strong Bad is moving the cardboard cutout of the keysword guitar around, the picture reverses direction.

===Remarks===
*[[SAAB Lighter|The lighter]] in the key-sword-tar Easter egg is a [[Wikipedia:Saab|Saab]] lighter, as opposed to the usual [[BMW Lighter|BMW one]].
*The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Wikipedia:Leet|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
*Strong Bad mentions a whammy bar, or tremelo, while playing his key-sword-tar (a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Keytar|Keytar]]). However, only actual guitars have these.

===Inside References===
*Homestar giving thanks for his moose lamp being broken is a reference to [[caper]], when he said the same thing about his [[Cow Lamp|cow lamp]].
*A Strong Badman comic appeared in connection with a "Deutschman" in [[haircut]].
*The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The gnawing pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
*Strong Bad has a blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
*The School Paste in Strong Mad's room was first seen in Strong Sad's room in the Email [[depressio]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] is a kind of soup.
*The head of the robotank resembles that of a [[Wikipedia:Transformers Universes|Transformer]], quite likely . Also, the tank looks a lot like the [[Wikipedia:Newgrounds|Newgrounds]] logo.
*[[Wikipedia:Chef Boyardee|Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
*The black and white portrait of Strong Bad bears strong resemblence to ones found in [[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]], which is probably the "rich guy newspaper" he was referring to.

== Transcript ==
''{A leaf appears with the words "The 4Tst Annual Fall Float Parade".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to the firty-tirst annual fall float parade.

''{Cut to Coach Z and Marzipan wearing scarves and ear muffs. Marzipan is holding a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows, and is clearly mad at Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ok den, welcome back. First please allow me to apologize to my co-host, here, for any innapprapriate comments I may have made while we was at commercial.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{nearly under her breath}'' That's two strikes, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, yes, what fun!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{suddenly no longer angry}'' So, next up is good old Bubs.

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, good old my favorite type o' guy who I'm just all the time hangin' around and doin' stuff with, Bubs!

''{Cut to Bubs on a giant float with the words "Coach Z, you jerk" written on it. There is a banner hanging on the float that reads, "Happy Thanksgiving!".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{through a megaphone}'' Coach Z, you jerk!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{surprised}'' Oooh.

'''BUBS:''' Coach Z, you jerk!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I see then...

'''BUBS:''' Coach Z—

'''COACH Z:''' That's very—

'''BUBS:''' ''{with more emphasis than before}'' —you jerk!

'''COACH Z:''' —overt.

''{Cut to a close-up of a giant balloon in the likeness of Pom Pom.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, now here's somethin' that doesn't appear to be makin' fun of me, it's the Pam Pam b'lloon!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's "Pom Pom balloon" for those of you who don't speak Coach Z. Always a hit with the ladies, that Pom Pom.

''{Cut to a wide-shot with the Pom Pom balloon being led offscreen by Pom Pom. A pair of fez-wearing Homsars are coming in behind the balloon driving miniature red cars.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And never a hit with anyone, it's Homsar! Oh, and there's another Homsar.

'''HOMSARS:''' ''{both of them in unison}'' Let's sing a song of "Pennzoil"!

''{A new float enters the frame behind the two Homsars. This float has a big pile of sweatshirts in the center, a giant shooting star on the front, and a bee suspended by a giant spring on the back. "SWE ATSHIRTS" is printed on the base of the float. Homestar Runner is buried in the pile of sweatshirts with only his head visible.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, now this is just adorable, Homestar Runner's sweatshirt float.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{referring to the noticable space in the float's wording}'' It looks more like a "swee-atshirt" float to me.

'''COACH Z:''' You say tomater, I say tomatamorts.

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar buried in the pile of sweatshirts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, help! I woke up in this pile of swee-atshirts and I don't know how to stop it! I'm s'pposed to be watching Bubs' concession stand while he's in some ridiculous parade, ''{looking down}'' and I'm pretty sure a rat just bit my knee.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's great sweetie. Say hi to that bee for me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed}'' Hi, bee.

''{Cut back to the wide shot. Strong Mad walks into the frame carrying Bubs' Concession Stand, which has clearly been ripped out of the ground recently, as there are missing bricks and bits of sod still hanging from the bottom.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it looks like Bubs has come to his senses and entered a proper float in the parade. 'Atta boy, Bubs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm pretty sure that's just Strong Mad absconding with Bubs' Concession Stand.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. Serves him right then.

''{Cut back to Coach Z and Marzipan.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, and here comes one of my favorites: the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band!

''{Cut back to the parade. The band enters, comprised of The King of Town waving The Poopsmith's shovel like a drum major's mace, The Poopsmith playing cymbals, The Hornblower blowing his horn, and the Knight playing a bass drum. The band comes to a halt. Cut to a close up of The King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A-break it down for me, fell-as!

''{Cut to a wide shot of the band again. They face the camera and resume playing.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, yeah! I'm feeling this! ''{begins rapping}'' One two, one two, keep it "flond"! Listen to me cause Coach Z's, he's got it goin' on!

''{Cut to a close-up of Coach Z as he continues rapping.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a pretty nice guy with fairly good teeth! C'mon, watch me—

'''MARZIPAN:''' No more free-styling. It's really annoying.

''{Cut back to the parade route. A new float enters. Strong Bad is on the float standing between two Snowmen and beating them with nunchaku. The base of the float, which appears to be a mattress, reads: "Celebrating 04 Glorious Seconds of Nunchucking Snowmen." The "04" is a digital sign that counts up as the scene continues.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, and here's Strong Bad's annual not-even-remotely-fall-related float.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Is it just me, or does one of those snowmen look suspiciously like Strong Sad?

'''COACH Z:''' Nah, Strong Sad's yellow.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad and the snowman on the left, who is in fact Strong Sad. He spits out the carrot that had been in his mouth.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ptooey! Strong Bad, I thought you said our float was going to be "Celebrating Our Nation's Covered Bridges."

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I said our float was going to be "Sticking-You-In-A-Fake-Snowman-And-Beating-You-Senseless-With-Nunchucks... Covered Bridges."

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, how on earth did I misunderstand all that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know man. You hear the words "covered bridges" and you just go into a trance.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts going into a trance}'' Oh, covered bridges.

''{Strong Sad starts moaning, but snaps out of it when Strong Bad resumes beating him with the nunchaku.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, as always, bringing up the rear...

''{As Strong Bad continues beating the snowmen, a looming shadow crawls across the scene and ominous music plays. Cut to a close-up of a giant balloon in the shape of [[Marshie]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...it's the Marshie balloon!

'''COACH Z:''' Man, that thing has got to frighten some children!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Is anyone guiding that balloon?

''{Ominous music plays again as the camera pans down and The Cheat can be seen hanging from one of the balloon ropes, clearly not in control of the balloon. Cut to a wide shot of the platform Coach Z and Marzipan are standing on.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Run for your lives!

''{The Marshie balloon collides with the platform, knocking Coach Z and Marzipan off.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Argh! I regret everything!

''{The television signal cuts out as the platform collapses. It is quickly replaced by a technical difficulty screen with a turkey pulling a plug. The caption at the top reads "Pardon our problems..." and "The End" appears at the bottom.}''

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
* K.O.T.H.S. stands for "King of Town High School". Most American high schools have marching bands.
*A [[Wikipedia:Covered bridge|covered bridge]] is a bridge with enclosed sides and a roof. These single-lane bridges are found throughout rural areas of the Northeastern and Midwestern United States.

===Trivia===
* Due to a discrepancy between the names of the HTML file and the Flash file, this toon didn't load properly when it was first released. A corrected version of the HTML file became available about two hours later.

===Remarks===
* In the Homestar Easter egg, either Bubs' Concession Stand does not have a basement (contradicting [[geddup noise]]), or Homestar's box is covering the hole that leads to it.
* The foliage in the background of the parade has changed to fall colors, but the foliage is still green behind Homestar as he stands on the site of Bubs' Concession Stand.
*Strong Sad spit out the carrot in his mouth before speaking, but when we see him in the background of the shot as the Marshie float threatens the platform, it is in his mouth again.

===Goofs===
*At the end when the Marshie balloon crashes into the stand, and Strong Bad's float is visible in the background, the seconds counter showing how long he's been "celebrating glorious seconds of nunchucking snowmen" has nothing on it.

===Inside References===
*The two Homsars are another instance of [[Twin characters|twin characters]].
*The "pardon our problems" screen is in the same format as the "technical difficulties" screen from [[pizzaz]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Nunchaku|nunchaku]] Strong Bad uses is from [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque's]] "nunchuck-gun" in [[dangeresque 3]].
*This is another appearance of [[Sticky Notes|sticky notes]].
*The wagon supporting Strong Bad's float is the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] minus the pancakes.
*When the KOTHS band first appears, it plays the theme song from [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Real-World References===
*The theme of a "Fall Float Parade" is a reference to many Thanksgiving Day Parades, most notably the [[Wikipedia:Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade]], a large parade taking place in New York on Thanksgiving each year.
*The fez-wearing Homsars in the little cars are modeled after the [[Wikipedia:Shriners|Shriners]], who also appear often in parades.
*"You say tomater, I say tomatamorts" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:George Gershwin|George]] and [[Wikipedia:Ira Gershwin|Ira Gershwin]]'s 1937 hit song ''Let's Call the Whole Thing Off.''
*Coach Z's "I regret everything!" is a reversal of "I regret nothing!", a phrase appropriate for a last stand. Strong Bad used it in [[do over]], but it originated as an Edith Piaf [[Wikipedia:List of French phrases|song title]], and was adopted as the motto of the [[Wikipedia:French Foreign Legion#The Legion in popular culture|French Foreign Legion]].
