NARRATOR STRONG BAD: Teen Girl Squad! CHEERLEADER (boy crazy!)! SO AND SO (math crazy!)! WHAT'S HER FACE (whatev!)! THE UGLY ONE (actually crazy!)!
{Open at the standard TGS Field}
CHEERLEADER: Listen gals, if we want to look
ALL: So goo-
CHEERLEADER: We've got to go get some SUMMER FASHIONS!
SO AND SO: I am SO there.
CHEERLEADER: We three can go to the mall.
{So and So and The Ugly One smile and join hands.}
CHEERLEADER: {not in a speech bubble} What's Her Face, {in a speech bubble} you can go to a thrift store.
{What's Her Face frowns}
CHEERLEADER: Or junkyard.
{Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One walk to the right, while What's Her Face dejectedly walks to the left. The sun turns into a buzzsaw and kills some birds.}
NARRATOR STRONG BAD: {imitating the buzzsaw} Brrrow!
{Cut to the mall.}
SO AND SO: Before we shop, how about some PAN-ASIAN CUISINE?
{The Ugly One and So and So stand at a Chinese Food Buffet booth that says "3 spring rolls". Arrow'd Guy is behind the counter.}
THE UGLY ONE: Three spring rolls, please.
{Arrow'd Guy throws 3 spring rolls at The Ugly One.}
ARROW'D GUY: MSG'd!
THE UGLY ONE: Ow! My stomach lining!
{Cut to Cheerleader and So and So standing over The Ugly One's body.}
CHEERLEADER: We'll worry about that one later.
{Cut to a picture of Arrow'd Guy. The man has a sign in his mouth that reads "MEANWHILE, AT THE THRIFT STORE". Cut to the thrift store where What's Her Face is browsing through clothes racks. A nearby girl holds a sign that says "1 or 2 cent each item".}
WHAT'S HER FACE: These clothes smell like grandmas.
{Cut back to the mall. So and So is trying on a new outfit. The attached price tag reads "$500".}
SO AND SO: Ready gals? This outfit-so good or no good?
CHEERLEADER, THE UGLY ONE: SO GOOD!
{Slight pause.}
THE UGLY ONE: My stomach feels better!
{Cut away to Cheerleader wearing an elephant head.}
CHEERLEADER: I'm going for a whole new style!
SO AND SO, THE UGLY ONE: NO GOOD!
CHEERLEADER: Well, I think it's hella tight. And you guys need boyfriends.
SO AND SO,THE UGLY ONE: {dejectedly} That's true.
{Cut to What's Her Face walking home from the thrift store.}
WHAT'S HER FACE: I'm walkin home from the thrift store.
{A wave of possoms approaches.}
NARRATOR STRONG BAD: Poooosssssummmmms...!
{Cut back to the outside of the mall. Cheerleader is still wearing her elephant head, So and So is wearing her new outfit with the price tag still attached. Each girl has a bag of stuff in front of them.}
CHEERLEADER: My card is totally max0rzed! {pronounces the last word as "maxed"}
THE UGLY ONE: True dat.
SO AND SO: True that.
{What's Her Face enters from the left. Her clothes are torn and she is bleeding in various places.}
CHEERLEADER: Whats your problem?
WHAT'S HER FACE: {happily} I met a possum.
SO AND SO: Good for you. Now let's attract some CUTE BOYS! Ready?
{The Teen Girl Squad poses.}
CHEERLEADER, SO AND SO, THE UGLY ONE: POSE!
WHAT'S HER FACE: My blood hurts.
{Cut to the "IT'S OVER!" end card, but instead of the standard "IT'S OVER", a little ditty plays, and Strong Bad sings along.}
NARRATOR STRONG BAD: {singing} Teen Girl Squad! They're-teenage-girls-between-the-ages-of-thirteen-and-nineteen!
Fun Facts
Explanations
- MSG stands for monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer commonly added to soups, canned vegetables, processed meats, and Asian cuisine. According to the Food and Drug Administration, MSG has a limited number of symptoms, usually among people who may eat a large dose (greater than 3 grams) on an empty stomach and people who have severe asthma. The short-term reactions known as MSG Symptom Complex can involve numbness, tingling, burning sensation, chest pain, headache, rapid heartbeat, nausea, weakness, and drowsiness. MSG and other glutamates usually affect only the nervous system, and claims of deteriorating stomach lining due to MSG consumption are unsubstantiated.
- Max0rzed is a reference to the "1337" language. The -0rz- is never pronounced.
Trivia
- Before moved to features, when this toon was still in the shorts section, the synopsis read "Shopping and marsupials. Need anything else?"
DVD Version
- The DVD version features two hidden creators' commentaries. To access them, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

MIKE CHAPMAN: Teen Girl Squad, Issue number three.
STRONG BAD: By Strong Bad!
MIKE CHAPMAN: You made this, huh?
STRONG BAD: Yeah, I did, Mike! Look, The Ugly One is actually crazy. That girl’s nuts.
MIKE CHAPMAN: Yeah?
STRONG BAD: Yeah.
MIKE CHAPMAN: Umm, so Strong Bad, tell me about—uh—how long does it take you to make uh one of these Teen Girl Squad Episodes?
STRONG BAD: Uh, three minutes.
MIKE CHAPMAN: Three minutes?
STRONG BAD: Yeah, three and a half if —
MIKE CHAPMAN: Some of them are even longer than that so it takes you less time to make them than they actually are?
STRONG BAD: Yes.
MIKE CHAPMAN: Really?
STRONG BAD: Yes.
MIKE CHAPMAN: That’s pretty impressive.
STRONG BAD: I am—pretty impressed.
MIKE CHAPMAN: So do you make these as they’re being shown? Are they streaming?
STRONG BAD: Streaming—draw, yo.
MIKE CHAPMAN: {giggles}
STRONG BAD: Buffering. Thirty—Two percent, Thirty—Five percent,
MIKE CHAPMAN: Uh—
STRONG BAD: Buffering—hang on!
MIKE CHAPMAN: Look! Who’s that guy?
STRONG BAD: That’s a—a girl, actually. That’s a kind of a homeless woman.
{both laugh}
MIKE CHAPMAN: Oh—You know I always thought it was like an Indy Rock guy.
STRONG BAD: Nope.
MATT CHAPMAN: No.
STRONG BAD: Nope. Homeless lady. They hired the—given ‘er the—feedin’ ‘er lunch if she’ll hold that sign.
MATT CHAPMAN: Look at that!
STRONG BAD: Yeah, that is not a good style.
MIKE CHAPMAN: {laughs} Seems a little weird for Cheerleader to think that an elephant mask would be a good style.
STRONG BAD: I think that—I think her mom is like buys all the clothes and gives her all the styles so when she’s set on her own she tries to buy an elephant head.
{short pause}
STRONG BAD: Um—so those possums, Mike…
MIKE CHAPMAN: Possums started uh—another kind of trend in addition to the—the man—
STRONG BAD: Wave of babies.
MIKE CHAPMAN: Yeah the wave of babies, the possums, just kind of the more subtle—
STRONG BAD: {interrupts, illegible}
MIKE CHAPMAN: —squished.
STRONG BAD: Yeah. {makes squishing noise} he— How come I never—sing this anymore?
MIKE CHAPMAN: Sing it!
STRONG BAD: Doot doot doot do!
