==Summary==
An arcade Homestar main page.

Page title: "Homestar Runner Game Pac"

* Toons - The sky changes colour and if you do it again it will change again so on and so forth until it is blue again.

== Summary ==

'''Shopping for Danger'''

The [[Cheat Commandos]] rock, rock on in an adventure to stop [[Blue Laser]] from spending less at a local grocery store on double-coupon day.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Gunhaver]], [[Fightgar]], [[Silent Rip]], [[Crackotage]], [[Reynold]], [[Firebert]], [[Blue Laser Commander]], [[Blue Laser minion]], [[Blue Laser Babies]]

'''Page title:''' Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!

== Transcript ==
''{Open to "Cheat Commandos Now Returns..." title. Theme music is heard.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' We now return to Cheat Commandos.

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos headquarters. A large inflatable Cheat Commando with a "SALE!" banner sits on the roof. A title which reads "'SHOPPING FOR DANGER' written by A. Chimendez" appears. Cut to inside headquarters where Gunhaver is talking to Fightgar, Silent Rip, and Crackotage. A portrait of Gunhaver hangs on the wall.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So then I grabbed the Blue Laser by his collar and said, 'You betta break yourself!'

''{Fightgar, Silent Rip, and Crackotage laugh. Pan left to reveal Reynold standing behind Fightgar, et al.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Ha ha, yeah. ''{All turn to face him.}'' That's like how I labeled and alphabetized all you guys' combat accessories ''{Cut to wall where Flashfight's Flashlight, Foxface's Bulletproof Handbag, Gunhaver's Gun, Reinforcement's [sic] Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket, and Silent Rip's Loud Noise Silencer (which appears to be an ordinary pillow) hang, in alphabetical order.}'' so it'll save on valuable mission time! ''{Cut back to group.}'' C-c-click-click, booyah! ''{Reynold pumps his arm.}''

'''ALL:''' Uh...

''{A siren begins to sound and a pulsating red light fills the room. The Cheat Commandos look around in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' It's a Blue Las-alert!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Bring it up on screen!

''{Gunhaver points off-screen. Cut to "THE SCREEN", which says "Blue Las-alert; hit enter for details". Silent Rip presses a key and an image labeled "file photo" of Blue Laser Commander and a Blue Laser minion at a grocery store appears on the screen.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Blue Laser's been spotted at a local grocery store on double coupon day!

'''GUNHAVER:''' With the money Blue Laser could potentially save from those double coupons they could buy all kinds of super weapons that, like, ''{scratches head}'' turn babies into gold or ''{scratches head again}'' screw with the weather! Cheat Commandos.. time to rock, rock on! ''{zoom in on Gunhaver and cue music}''

''{Cut to room with Gunhaver portrait where Fightgar and Crackotage are leaving.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Can I come, too?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{laughs}'' Good one, Reynold-a!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' You can't shoot, and you can't fly. If you came with us, you'd probably die! ''{laughs}''

''{Fightgar and Crackotage exit.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{whining}'' I never get to go on any missions! I would be a good mission... guy. ''{slumps down sadly}''

''{Cut to a strip mall parking lot, daytime. A large blue tank with the Blue Laser logo on the side is double-parked in front of Price Style and Hausgood. The Cheat Commandos are seen from behind, marching up in silhouette. Cut to a hill behind which Gunhaver, Fightgar, Silent Rip, Crackotage, and Firebert are crouched. Gunhaver peers through a pair of binoculars.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' It looks like Blue Laser's going to take advantage of Price Style's already low, low prices on paper towels and grout cleaner and use all the savings to make a button that will make it snow at the beach! ''{The other Commandos start in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' But, sir! What about beach volleyball?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There won't ''be'' ''{turns and shakes his fist at Silent Rip}'' any more beach volleyball! ''{all gasp}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Fightgar, use one of your awesome disguises to do a little ''{uses quote fingers}'' "undercover work".

''{Zoom in on Fightgar.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{groans}'' Gulp!

''{Cut back to headquarters where Reynold stands in front of a mirror wearing an outfit that looks just like Gunhaver's. The sleeves are too long.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Step off, Blue Laser! Get your hands off those diskettes and fiscal reports! Don't make me use this gun that I have! ''{points with sleeve}'' Reynold's Commandos, let's rock 'n' roll! ''{shakes arms}''

''{Cut to Price Style interior, Aisle 6. Pan down to reveal Blue Laser Commander, who holds three rolls of "WIPE!" brand paper towels, and one of his minions.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What happened to our buggy?!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' That other guy that looks just like me is using it to help some old lady do her shopping, sir.

'''COMMANDER:''' Old ladies ''suck''!

''{Cut to another minion and Fightgar wearing an old lady disguise which consists of a gray wig and a pair of green spectacles.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{points at shelf}'' 'ere, could you reach that tub of Old Lady Rub for me, young man? 'Cause I'm an old lady!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' I never doubted that you were a lady, sir. Ma'am.

''{Enter Blue Laser Commander and Minion 1.}''

'''COMMANDER:''' Alright, grandma, make it quick!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I was just wonderin' if you kind sonnies knew anything about makin' it snow at the beach?

'''COMMANDER:''' No, but I know how to end awkward conversations with the elderly! ''{to Minion 1}'' Let's go check out.

''{Blue Laser Commander and his minions exit. Fightgar removes his spectacles and holds a small blue box with an antenna that is attached to his wrist up to his mouth. Cut to Gunhaver outside, who holds a larger blue box with an antenna and screen. Fightgar is on the screen.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Blue Laser's makin' his move!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Alright, Cheat Commandos, let's move! ''{to Crackotage}'' Fire the new grappling hook zip line!

''{Cut to Crackotage holding a large gun with a grappling hook at the end of the barrel. He fires and a rope begins spooling out of the gun. A tone sounds and the "Cheap As Free" logo appears in the corner. Cut to the tank in the parking lot where the rope wraps itself around the barrel of its gun. On the hill, Crackotage and Silent Rip descend the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Firebert}'' Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name!

''{Firebert looks sad. Gunhaver descends the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Whee!

''{Cut to headquarters, where Reynold is still dressed as Gunhaver. He has put his glasses on the head of an upturned mop in a bucket and stands next to Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{to mop}'' Why, yes, Foxface, I'd love to take you out on a classy date. But first I need to save the world from Blue Laser using my very own Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Reynold Rocket! ''{Reynold straps the Rocket Backpack on his back. He falls backwards onto the Backpack.}'' Whoa!! ''{Green lights appear on the backpack and it begins to shake and whir, making "powering up" sounds and expelling smoke.}'' Oh my land, I can't see this ending well.

''{Cut to Price Style interior where Blue Laser Commander and two minions stand at the checkout with their shopping cart.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Oh, crap! I forgot my Price Style Plus Card!

''{Glass shatters and Gunhaver and Crackotage leap to the ground in front of Blue Laser Commander. Silent Rip falls behind a checkout lane several aisles away.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Not so fast, Blue Laser!

'''COMMANDER:''' Oh! I'm so sick of you people!

''{Silent Rip stands up and peeks out from behind the checkout lane.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' The express lane is for ten items or less! You've got two too many!

'''COMMANDER:''' Those are the twins!

''{Cut to a shopping cart with three rolls of WIPE! towels and two baby Blue Laser members, both with eye patches. They each make a whining sound. Cut to Silent Rip, whose wrist communicator is beeping.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Sir! Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset is under attack!

'''GUNHAVER:''' We've been had, boys! This grocery store crap was just a diversion!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' Back to base we're gonna head and make sure Reynold isn't dead! ''{laughs}''

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos Headquarters. There is a large hole in one wall with smoke streaming out of it and another unseen area. Cut to interior. Reynold is lying on his back atop the Rocket Backpack. His face is scorched as is a circle on the floor surrounding him, and he has lost his Gunhaver hat. There is large hole in the wall and some rubble litters the ground. Gunhaver enters.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Reynold, are you alright?! What happened here? Nice jacket!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, Gunhaver, it's all my fault. I was upset that you never let me go on any missions so I tried on Reinforcements' Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket--

'''GUNHAVER:''' --so you could defend our base from Blue Laser! Gah! Good work, soldier! It's not your fault they got away!

'''REYNOLD:''' What?

''{Cut to view of Gunhaver from above. He has his arm raised to the sky.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Next episode, Blue Laser! Next episode!

''{Fade to black. "Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!!" appears on the screen and is sung to music. Cut to a bathroom where a Blue Laser minion is standing in the bathtub, scrubbing the tile wall with a green sponge. Enter Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' The grout cleaner is working, sir.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Fan-freaking-tastic! At last we'll have the edge we need to crush the Cheat Commandos! ''{Pan to show a computer screen which reads "Reason for not crushing Cheat Commandos". In large red blinking letters "MILDEW!!" appears.}''

''{Fade to "THE END."}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of the film, click on '''The End.''' to see an extra scene in the grocery store.

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the first time we see the Cheat Commando HQ playset.
*When Gunhaver tells Firebert to "Think of a better Commando name", Firebert makes a weird sighing noise that sounds just like normal cheat-ese.

=== References ===

*The episode "Shopping For Danger" is written by [[A. Chimendez]] who also created "The Strong Bad" in the email "[[pizzaz]]" and [[Cheat Commandos...O's]].

*The line: "Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name" is a reference to the email "[[army]]" when Strong Bad tells The Cheat that Firebert is not a good commando name. as well as an easter egg in which Firebert's action figure package which notes ''Not a good commando name!''

*[[Fightgar]] asking for "Old Lady Rub" is a reference to [[Peasant's Quest]], in which the innkeeper has a cabinet full of Old Man Rub.

*The voice of Crackotage is done in the style of [http://www.johnnorrisbrown.com/classic-nick/heathcliff/Image48.jpg Wordsworth] from the 80's cartoon Heathcliff (and the Catallac Cats), whose voice was done by Stanley Jones. Wordsworth was a rhyming cat that also had headphones on but unlike Crackotage, Wordsworth rollerskated.

Actually, since Cheat Commandos is a pretty direct parody of the G.I. Joe cartoon, Crackotage is a parody of the G.I. Joe character Roadblock, who also spoke in rhymes.

* Reynold's voice is similar to that of Brains from the 60's TV series Thunderbirds.

*The grocery store "muzak" is a different version of the main Cheat Commandos theme. Some cartoons such as Inspector Gadget would also have all the background music as a rehashing of the main theme as well.

*The grocery store "muzak" also sounds like the Nook 'n' Go music from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Crossing Animal Crossing].

*Reynolds' voice seems to be a mix between Dilbert and Drew Carey, although the scene where Reynolds trys on the backpack might have been inspired by the scene when Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) in Ghostbusters II, puts on the proton pack and wants to be a ghostbuster.

*[[Firebert]] makes a [[The Cheat]] sound when [[Gunhaver]] tells him to get a better commando name.

*The Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket makes the same sound when [[Stinko Man]] does a [[Double Deuce]].

*The "rocket backpack rocket rocket fire" is a reference to [[Cheat Commandos]].

== Summary ==
'''Strong Bad Email #96'''

Steve from Victoria B.C. wants to know why the Cheat is such a dilligent lackey.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Bubs]], [[Doregard]], Puppet [[Homestar Runner]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' So innocent an email free.... That's you 'n me.

''{reading email}'' Hey, yo there Strong Bad! I was wondering why The Cheat is such a diligent lackey. Did you save his life one time and now he has to repay you?

Steve
Victoria, BC

''{typing}'' BC? Whoa! This is an old freakin' email. Most of the emails I get are ADs. And the occasional JD. Wow. I wonder if it was written on like, a stone tablet. Or maybe some, uh, papyrus. Anyhow...

No, Steve, The Cheat is a good lackey because he "knows what's best" and "doesn't want to get left by the side of the road during a thunderstorm" or "taped to Pom Pom again."

It probably also has to do with the fact that I "treat him like a brother that's not Strong Sad" instead of "a little yellow squeaky thing that somethetimes steals my ladytypes." I also pay him real nice. Which isn't very difficult considering The Cheat "thinks pencil shavings are legal tender." Check it out...

''{Strong Bad sharpens a pencil}''

Hey The Cheat!

== Easter Eggs ==
*Near the beginning, click on "Stone Tablet" or "Papyrus" to see old-timey letters to Strong Bad.
**As of this writing not working, they worked before. If they work again, remove this text. Could be mirrored somewhere.
*Click on Doregard's head at the end to see a video of the Homestar and Doregard show!
*Click on the "SB" part of the graffiti to play a Strong Lib.
*Click on the top of the "boy's hobby kit" box to see what it says.

== Fun Facts ==
*When The Cheat is buying the hobby kit, Bubs says, "and that comes out to thirteen-tooty-two" which is a reference to one of the [[Homestar Quiz]] answers for the question, "In [[The Luau|the luau]] episode, how many glasses of melonade did [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] say he drank?" "Tooty-two" was also part of the phone number in [[Strong Bad Sings]]. This appears to be one of the [[Inside Jokes]].
*When Strong Bad says The Cheat doesn't want to be taped to Pom-Pom again he is referring to the e-mail [[your friends]].
*When Doregard is in front of [[Compy 386]], you can't see the contrast buttons.
*Strong Bad did not give The Cheat all the pencil shavings.
*Strong Bad's remark about "super service" (in a Brooklyn accent) is a Three Stooges reference.
*Doregard here is an actual cantalope, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] later created an actual Doregard puppet with a moving mouth that has not been used on the site but can be seen in their Comcast interview.
*When this email was first put up, you could click "Stone Tablet" and "Papyrus" to see fake emails written on said items. These have since been removed.
