Choose a Brother Strong!

Strong Libs is a parody of the game Mad Libs featuring The Brothers Strong. They have the same basic concept as Mad Libs, where the player supplies various names and parts of speech in a prompt. The chosen words are then placed into blank spaces in a short story, the results of which can be very funny.

The Strong Bad libs generate humorous insults and put-downs, while Strong Mad's are all shouts of doom and destruction. Strong Sad's, naturally, offer depressing stories.
