[edit] Recycled Theme Music?
I know that I've heard the music that opens this trailer before, but I can't place it. Anyone else recognize where it's showed up before? wbwolf (t | ed) 01:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

around the 36th second, strongbad checks his inbox using the wiimote in tandem with the lappy. Possible hacker, that strongbad, eh?

I think it has to do with the word "attractive" in the game's title.

[edit] A little overdue
Considering the game's never been released in June at all, I just don't think it'd be a bright idea for first time viewers to watch the gameplay trailer. If the date were never changed, we woulda been waiting for the second episode by now. Oh well. I did mention in the forum that SB's line should be changed to "July of 2008." --Charlie Jr. 00:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

- It's been changed from, "June of 2008," to, "summer of 2008!"
