Transcript

{Open to a message reading, "In 2006, Flash celebrated its 10th birthday. We made this toon for the folks at Adobe to show at their big birthday celebration. We barely got it to them in time. Originally, the last few lines of dialog were recorded in a bathroom in Brooklyn with a system microphone and a towel over Matt's head". The message disappears after a few seconds.}

{Cut to a Flash program, which is pretty dark and the sound of wind blowing is heard. Strong Bad jumps out from a door and everything becomes bright.}

STRONG BAD: Surprise!! {shakes arms in the air.} Happy birthday, Flash 5!! And to a lesser extent 6, 7, and 8!! Oh, Flash 5, we've been through it all together, except when I needed to embed video...

STRONG BAD: Where's the align panel, where's the align panel?! Align panel, get over here, get over here, you little scuppernong!

{Strong Bad's mask, head, mouth, body, gloves, and feet are spead out equally on the work space.}

STRONG BAD:I like it, I like it!

{Strong Bad realigns back together.}

STRONG BAD: {The frame actions window pops up.} Aw, man! Who invited those pretentious guys? Shouldn't you be at a developer conference somewheres?

{The frame actions window makes the Homsar walking noise and goes offscreen to the right.}

STRONG BAD: Yeah, say hi to tellTarget for me. All right Flash 5, I got you a little somthing... {Record-scratching noise}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Happy day's reunion, Photoshop!

STRONG BAD: That is not what I got you. Huya! {Creates a hitting sound effect which freezes Homestar.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Turns into a box in wrapping.} Ooh, shape tween.

STRONG BAD: {Cut to the box in a blue background. Strong Bad pops out of it.} HAPPY FREAKIN' FLASHDAY!!

{Frame reads, "HAPPY FLASHDAY! from homestarrunner.com"}
