Have you ever been watching your favorite shows and
sequels, and suddenly realized that your favorite character
has been unscrupulously replaced with another actor?
Nicholas & Antonio
Lansing, Michigan
{Strong Bad makes a rock-ish scream in place of the emoticon.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Wait, you guys are really asking me that? We do that to you people all the time. There've been like twelve King of Towns. {clears screen} And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?
{Cut to Homestar Runner in front of Bubs' Concession Stand. A silhouette resembling Bubs is seen in the foreground/}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hi, Original Bubs! How's original business?
{Cut to in front of the stand. The character behind the counter only vaguely resembles Bubs; his head is dark blue and shaped as though it has hair, both of his eyes are the same shape and size, and his teeth are standard. His body is solid orange and hunched over. He has visible rectangular hands that are the same color as his face. "BY ORIGINAL BUBS" is seen on the stand's sign. Two papers are taped to the stand that read "CHEAP THRILLS!" and "CHEAPER TRICKS!"}
ORIGINAL BUBS: {his voice is lower-pitched than Bubs' and not as gravelly; openings form in his mouth as he speaks} Hey, Homestar. I can see you from here! {holds his hands apart}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's some great eyesight, Original Bubs!
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} But it wasn't all good eyesight and cheap prices!
{The screen becomes inverted grayscale and spooky music starts. The camera zooms in on Original Bubs.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Behind the scenes lay a thick bubbling pit of crude turmoil!
{As the colors return to normal, the scene cuts to the King of Town and Original Bubs standing behind a table with an iced tea container, paper cups, a box of Swiss Cake Rolls, and a Tupperware box of a white object. Original Bubs is pointing at the Tupperware box with an angry expression.}
