Transcript

{As usual, the toon starts in the basement of the Brothers Strong; the light dims and the projector screen comes down. The first slide shows a fan dressed like a peasant with paper fire on his head. There is springs sticking out of it.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Nice flaming Peasant Costume! Those are some quality doing-sproings on your flaming robe too!

{Scene cuts to Peasant's Quest at the old man inn.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover as he types in the command} Get doing-sproings from old man.

{The game pops-up with a message "That's the worst thing anyone has ever tried to type into this game. Ever."}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} What?!

{The game then cuts to the game over screen. Afterwards, the scene cuts back to the basement. The next slide shows a person in a muscular Strong Bad costume. He's sitting next to a laptop with "Lappier" seen on the screen.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Somebody finally got it right! I don't know where you found another biological pair of A+ #1 All-Pro Panache boxing gloves! But the real kicker is that you dressed up as me on January 7th! {The data "01-07-2015" appears on the bottom left corner of the picture} That's the day every year where I cover my arms and abdomen {A bag of brown-colored Fluffy Puff marshmallows descends from the top of the screen} in expired seasonal Fluffy Puffs!

{Zoom in on the costume's left shoulder. Marshie's face appears on the costume.}

MARSHIE: Open up your pores, and let me into your heart! Literally! Clog 'em up, clog 'em up, clog 'em up, y'all!

{The King of Town pops into frame, silhouetted.}

THE KING OF TOWN: I'll do it! I volunteer!

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Get outta here!

{The King of Town descends. The next slide shows four people dressed as the 4 Gregs, in front of poorly-drawn bleachers drawn on hexagonal grid paper.}

STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Now these are very accurate.

{The Gregs' words appear in speech bubbles:}

SCI-FI GREG: We're scientifically accurate!

D N' D GREG: We're fantastically accurate!

OPEN SOURCE GREG: We're technically accurate!

JAPANESE CULTURE GREG: We're... the Japanese word for accurate? My language app hasn't taught me that one yet.

{A Teen Girl Squad-style smartphone appears with text reading "so you want to be able to subtitle pirated anime? lesson 12: accurate?". A buzzer sounds as "not unlocked yet" with red X's appears below.}

{The next costume is Senor Cardgage standing in front of a garage door, holding a grocery bag.}

STRONG BAD: Hey look, it's Senor Garagedgage! Man, these Cardgage costumes just keep gettin' better! Like, I would totally pay this person to come to my house and hang out in character. Y'know, we could like, sit around and batch the talentbision...

{A Telebision appears to the right with the words "Let's Batch Some Talentbision!"}

STRONG BAD: Or like, halph a culp of teembs...

{A mug of tea appears to the left with the words "Shall We Halph a Culp of Teembs?"}

STRONG BAD: It'd be great!

{The next slide shows a man in his living room dressed as Crack Stuntman in a green jacket, sunglasses, and a drawn-on five o'clock shadow. A beat starts.}

CRACK STUNTMAN: {rapping} Well you're a this kid living in the suburbs and you want a Halloween costume. You find a green jacket, a pair of sunglasses, but you wanna put some stubble on you! So kids, don't-draw-five-o'clock-shadows with permanent styles, come on, come on—

{A Sharpie-like marker appears to the left and gets a ban symbol over it.}

CRACK STUNTMAN: Non-toxic washable markers are gonna save some lives! {beat stops; no longer rapping} Or at least prevent an annoying rash on your chin. It hurts when I drink fresh lemnad!

STRONG BAD: Thank you Crack Stuntman, that will be all.

{The next slide shows someone dressed as Homestar Runner with white paint covering their face and neck, holding a drink can covered in pink duct tape.}

STRONG BAD: You really committed to slathering that white paint all over your face, huh? My only question is, what did it look like when you closed your eyes and mouth...?

{The next slide shows the same person with closed eyes and mouth, causing an eerie faceless look. Music sting.}

STRONG BAD: {screams}
