Preview Transcript
{The screen shows "On the next episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" and cuts to a closeup of Strong Bad's face as he holds a microphone, while microphone feedback is heard}
STRONG BAD: {yelling into the microphone} Alllllll right, expensive ticket holders!
{Cut to The Cheat on a set of drums, then back to Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: Are you ready to be musically, sonically...
{Cut to Strong Mad playing a bass guitar}
STRONG BAD: ...and if all goes according to plan...
{Cut back to Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: ...PHYSICALLY assaulted?!!
{Cut out to see that Strong Bad's band was seen atop Bubs' Concession Stand. The music stops suddenly; only a howling wind is heard in the background. Homestar watches from the ground}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Boooo...
{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad}
STRONG BAD: Hmm, tough crowd.
{Cut to a gray background, showing the word BADDEST written in Metallica-type font. Strong Bad's boxing glove-clad hand is then seen adding a strip of red label tape to the bottom of the word displaying the remainder of the title, OF THE BANDS, on it. Then the usual message, "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People — New episode every month!", is featured. Cut to The Brick Wall, and Bubs, The Cheat and Coach Z standing in front of it. Bubs and Coach Z each kick The Cheat back and forth between them.}
COACH Z: {rapping}
My name is Coach Z,
And Bubs is my cohort.
Put on your Cheat kickers,
And let's kick-a The Chort!
