STRONG BAD: All right, so here we are at Trogdor-Con! Got booths set up, 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: 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 my 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 who walks by.
HOMESTAR RUNNER Oh, I can walk by! Here, watch! {Walks off right side of the screen and reappears at left} Left, right, left, right, right, right, no wait-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 we're really gonna be selling is 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)
Easter Eggs
- Clicking the "gamertag?" sign will result in this:
THE KING OF TOWN: Ohhh, somebody picked the wrong authorized Godzilla reseller to mess with today!
- Click on the dot on "endeth" to see Strong Bad criticising people's costumes.
STRONG BAD: Hey, loindcloth, 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 gamer tags 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
- Strong Bad says he doesn't pay The Cheat, even though in lackey, he proves that he does (With pencil shavings, at least)
- Booth 101 was the booth that Mike and Matt had at Dragoncon.
- A magna is some sort of diploma thing (Somrbody help me out here.) Homestar was probably trying to say "Manga", a type of Japanese comic book.
- The Poopsmith's Sleestak costume was first seen in "Pumpkin Carve-nival".
- The easter egg shows us another example of KOT hating peas.
