== 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 big screen cuts to the green rating screen. It says "THE FOLLOWING FILM HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR CERTAIN AUDIENCES BY SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT'S BEST. IT BE RATED PG-13 FOR SEVERE CUSSING AND'' VERY ''ILLEGAL PONY FIGHTS.}''

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

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

'''GUNHAVER:''' Uh, sorry Reynold, 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 mortar 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 boo as the scene changes.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' 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 closeup of Gunhaver}'' and all our playsets and toys. ''{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: ''{sillhouettes 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. Firebert walks by in the background, while the Blue Laser Commander is standing next to a building.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Jumping out, holding up a candy bar}'' Hey, kid! Wanna smoke some candy 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 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!

''{Cut 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.}''

*[[Wikipedia:Antioxidant|Antioxidants]] are chemicals that prevent the [[Wikipedia:oxidation|oxidation]] of other chemicals.
*[[Wikipedia:Typhoid fever|Typhoid fever]], [[Wikipedia:Cholera|cholera]], and [[Wikipedia:Dysentery|dysentery]] are bacterial diseases generally associated with the ingestion of drinking water contaminated by improper sanitation.
*"Wanna smoke some candy with me?" refers to educational films that crudely replace "inappropriate" things with "appropriate" things. For example, [http://www.eccpasa.info/vid_alc.htm ''The Cat Who Drank Too Much''] replaced alcoholic beverages with milk and water.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Commandos4 problem4.PNG|right|thumb|Smell that purple ink!!]]
*The blackboard in the classroom sequence reads "ASSIGNMENTS", "TAKE TEST", and "STARE AT CLOCK UNTIL I RETURN".
*In the same scene as above, Silent Rip's test paper reads "Problem 4: Compare and contrast your 2 most favorite '[[Wikipedia:Jim_Varney|Ernest]]' movies. Show your work!"
*This is the first time Reinforcements is shown in his animated form, and also the first time he talks in his own voice.
*Currently this is the longest "Short" Cartoon on the website. In fact, it is longer than all but four of the non-short toons.

===Remarks===
*The title of the cartoon is "Movie Night," but when we see the headquarters, it's daytime.
*Lesson 5 is apparently titled "Listen you guys, you seriously need to start showering everyday". This is grammatically incorrect-- everyday should be "every day". "Everyday" is an adjective, as used in the phrase "Everyday silverware".

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! I'm training for fighting, or maybe a challenge. So what's that thing you're kicking around?

[[Image:trogdorcon.PNG|thumb|Hanging out at TrogdorCon '97]]
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 Trogdor-Con! 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:''' ''{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-''dorkon'' '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 Japanese for "comic books," but outside of Japan it is a term for Japanese comics (and sometimes comic books drawn in a "Japanese" style). Homestar's "magna" is a common misspelling and mispronunciation among English-speaking comic book fans.
*[[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]].

*By placing the mouse over "Strong Bad Email" and holding it there for a short while, you will see Strong Bad sitting at [[Tandy 400|the Tandy]] soundlessly checking his email, receiving the following message:
<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
I drank too much salty plum soda. 
 
-Stu</blockquote>
to which Strong Bad replies "No such thing, Stu. No such thing."

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004, and divided all the toons into eight categories. You can see the old version [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/toons-pre-new-remote.html here]. It displayed [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], and [[Teen Girl Squad]] in a section called [[Features]]. [[Powered by The Cheat]] and [[Puppet Stuff]] were listed under Shorts.
*Pressing the Back button will always take you to [[Main Page 4]].
*[[Homestar Runner]]'s T.V. is called [[Tee Bee]].
*During the sample of [[The Reddest Radish]] on the T.V, [[Strong Bad]] jumps and spins. He does not do this in the actual toon.

===Glitches===
*Sometimes, on older computers, when clicking "toons, shorts or holiday" it does not open the TV guide, so you can still click on the cover to open it. All it shows is a blank page with the title "Dennis" on it.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:The Joy of Painting|The Joy of Painting]] easter egg is a reference to the PBS program of the same name, starring painter Bob Ross.
