MARZIPAN: La la la la la la la... La la la la {Marzipan picks a radish}
{Canned laughter}
{The Cheat appears from behind a bush and drops a note that lands in front of Marzipan. She picks it up.}
MARZIPAN: Oh! This note leads me to believe that Homestar Runner is sick.
{The note reads "i am sick. —homestar runner"}
{Canned laughter}
MARZIPAN: I'd better go check on him. {heads offscreen to Homestar's house}
{Enter Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Strong Mad with a wagon}
STRONG BAD: Okay, get the vegetable!
{Canned booing}
STRONG BAD: Now let's cheese it![1]
{They throw the radish on the wagon and leave}
{Cuts to Marzipan at Homestar's house. She knocks on the door with her head.}
MARZIPAN: Ouch. Homestar Runner, are you okay? {knocks with head again} Homestar, are you in there? It's me, Marzipan!
{Canned laughter}
{Cuts to Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad, wagon and radish in tow.}
{Canned booing}
STRONG BAD: Oh man you guys, with Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition, and then, maybe get uh, famous... a little...
{Canned laughter}
{Cuts to Homestar Runner and Pom Pom and a stage with a banner that says "Reddest Radish"}
THE ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the competition will begin in 15 minutes. P-p-p-p-p-please bring your radishes to the staging area.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Pom Pom, where's Marzipan? She's supposed to be heeeere!
{Cuts to Marzipan, still at Homestar's house. She knocks with her head}
MARZIPAN: Ouch. Homestar, let me in.
{Knocks again}
MARZIPAN: Ouch. Homestar Runner, are you in there? {pause} I'm leaving. {leaves}
{Canned laughter}
{Cuts to Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Strong Mad, pulling the wagon and radish}
STRONG BAD: {To the tune of "La Cucaracha"} We got the radish, we got the radish, and we're gonna win the contest!
{Canned booing}
{Cuts to Homestar Runner and Pom Pom by the stage, a can at their feet}
POM POM: {bubbles}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You know what, Pom Pom? You're right. Kicking this can would make me feel better. {He kicks it}
{Cuts to Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Strong Mad}
{Canned booing}
{The can that Homestar Runner kicked lands in front of the wagon, and the wagon goes over it, causing the radish to fly out}
STRONG BAD: What the...? Holy crap!
{Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Strong Mad rush off, leaving afterimages}
{Pause}
STRONG BAD AFTERIMAGE: Holy crap!
{Canned laughter and the after images rush off. The radish is still flying through the air.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, that radish is Marzipan's!
STRONG BAD: Out of the way, Homestar!
{The radish lands and they all fight over it in a cloud of dust. The dust clears, the villains are on the ground, stood over by Pom Pom and Homestar is on the stage with the radish}
{Marzipan enters}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Look Marzipan, I got the Reddest Radish back from Strong Baaaaaaaaaaad!
MARZIPAN: What on earth are you talking about? That's not the Reddest Radish! This is!
{Marzipan pulls out a gargantuan red radish. Homestar falls off the stage, and Pom Pom falls to land sideways. Laughter. Marzipan stands on the stage with her radish and a first prize trophy}
MARZIPAN: I'm the winner!
{Canned laughter}

Footnote

Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first time Strong Bad said, "Holy Crap!", as this toon predated A Jumping Jack Contest.
- When Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, Strong Mad, and Strong Bad are in a fight for the radish, their colors change as follows: Strong Bad turns red, Pom Pom turns yellow, Strong Mad turns gray, Homestar Runner turns red, and The Cheat turns to a darker yellow.
- If you watch the preview for The Reddist Radish on the TV Time Toons Menu, Strong Bad jumps and spins around. He does not do this in the actual toon.
Remarks
- Strong Mad's boots are colored black, instead of their usual red color.
- The usual "back" and "again" links at the end do not appear in this cartoon.
- Marzipan knocks on the door with her head, either because of her paper cutout form or her lack of visible arms.
Inside References
- There is another kicking a can scene.
- Marzipan wins a trophy for the Reddest Radish.
Real-World References

- The tune from this episode is taken from a Casio SK-1 keyboard.
- The canned laughter is much like the canned laughter used in older sitcoms.

- This is also referenced in Strong Bad Sings as the title of a song.
- The paper cut-out version of The Cheat is also used again in virus.
DVD Version
- The title and the paragraph after slowly zoom toward the screen.
- If you press the Angle button on your DVD remote, the characters' appearances will change. There are three angles:
