STRONG BAD: {singing} Do do do do, email me some words, doo-doo, some different words.
{Reading email}
Hey Strong Bad,
I think you should make Homestar say stupid stuff, his voice is hilarious!
Sincerely,
Kevin Grumbles.
{typing} Uh, you don't really have to MAKE Homestar say stupid stuff Grumbles {Strong Bad just mumbles every time he types "Grumbles"}, that's the guy's bread and butter. Or at least his, uh, cracker and mustard. No, the REAL challenge is to get Homestar to say something intelligent. If I can do that, then you owe me a batch of your special Grumblecakes. And if I fail, then I'll quit stealing the bricks from your house, one by one. Deal? Deal.
{Strong Bad goes to get up from his chair and Homestar Runner is leaning over his shoulder.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {quietly} Hi, Strong Bad.
STRONG BAD: {surprised} Ah, geez! Homestar!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {not standing on one foot} Strong Bad, do you notice anything different about me today?
STRONG BAD: Um, you broke into my house?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: No I'm always doing that.
STRONG BAD: {apparently unperturbed} Okay, what?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {standing on one foot} I'm standing on one foot!
STRONG BAD: Yeah, great. Look, I'll give you half a Grumblecake if you can say something intelligent.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's that?
STRONG BAD: It's like a little cake with some, like, steam and sugar.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, no, the other one.
STRONG BAD: Oh, "intelligent"?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yeah, yeah, intellivision.
STRONG BAD: You know ... something smart.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I think I can do that. What's in it for me?
STRONG BAD: {annoyed} Half a Grumblecake!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, right. Okay, here goes--
STRONG BAD: No wait, put this stuff on.. it'll add to the illusion.
{Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner a white lab coat, black-rimmed glasses with masking tape, and a test tube.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Whoa, check me out, Strong Bad, I look a-smart!
STRONG BAD: You sure do, stupid. Now say something.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: And I'm standing on one foot!
STRONG BAD: {urging} Come on, say something smart! You can do it!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Science!
STRONG BAD: Uh, that's pretty good. Keep going!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Science again! I said science again!
STRONG BAD: Let's move away from science. Try math.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Plus two.
STRONG BAD: Okay, this isn't going--
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hundred!
STRONG BAD: {groans} I need to get my hands on some of them Grumblecakes! Maybe if I employ a little reverse psychologies.. If I ask a stupid enough question, I'll get an intelligent answer! {clears throat} I say, there, Homestar, butt's twelve by pies?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ooh, yes! I got Strong Bad to say something stupid! {triumphantly} The Grumblecakes will be mine!
(Homestar runs off.}
STRONG BAD: What?! What the crap just happened?! Is it possible that I was just outsmarted by Homestar Runner?! {typing and shouting} I'LL GET YOU KEVIN GRUMBLES!!!
{The Cheat enters with a tray of The Cheatcakes.}
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: Get that mess outta here! I don't want none o' those Cheatcakes! {Smacks the tray of The Cheatcakes out of The Cheat's hands}
THE CHEAT: {angry The Cheat noises}
{The Cheat exits dejectedly.}
STRONG BAD: {apologetically} No, wait, The Cheat, come back! {The Cheat comes back} Will you, um, fix me some.. mustard crackers?
THE CHEAT: {angry The Cheat noises}
{The Cheat exits again.}
{The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- When Strong Bad says "Butt's Twelve by Pies," click the screen to see a playbill for a play with the same name, directed by Homsar.
- Click the Cheatcake at the end to see a box of The Cheatcakes and a jingle. You can keep closing the box and clicking the Cheatcake to make a round.
Fun Facts
- The jingle goes: "Only liars and thieves eat Grumblecakes, and those people go to prison. Just ask the cheat. {The Cheat noises}"
- If you click on the Cheatcake while the jingle is going on, the music overlaps, creating a round/canon effect. You usually have to wait a second or two for the overlapping to occur.
- Homestar Runner says "Intellivision" instead of "intelligent" in this one. Intellivision was a game console from the Atari 2600 era.
- After Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner the test tube, glasses and lab coat, he appears to be using the test tube as a microphone. When he talks, he holds it up to his mouth. When Strong Bad talks, he holds it out to him.
