Transcript
{Open on a shot of Strong Bad sitting near the window in the Smoky Office on Le Restige. He is reading a book that reads "Things I'm About To Say"}
STRONG BAD: Hi folks. {he closes the book} I'm fantastic Strong Bad with an important seeming message. Five years ago, I drew a little dragon. It wasn't much to look at, but he captured the hearts and minds of dozens, nay, severals of internet viewers. I'm, of course, talking about none other than {cut to a sheet of notebook paper} The "S is for Sucks" dragon!!
STRONG BAD: {singing} A long time ago
Before things got weird
Came a Dragon, a mighty dragon

STRONG BAD: {cut back to Smoky Office} Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinkin'. "What about Trogdor?" You internet types ruined Trogdor! Just like you did zombies, pirates, ninjas and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah! And personally, I preferred that children's alphabet song to Trogdor's heavy metal song any day. {Trogdor's snout appears behind the blinds outside the window and Trogdor roars.} Waugh! Yes, sir! Sorry, sir! Right away, sir!
STRONG BAD: {singing in speed metal style} The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks!

Easter Eggs
- At the end, click on The S Is For Sucks dragon's head to see a scene with Coach Z and his attempt at drawing a dragon (or "Wormdingler") in the locker room:
- COACH Z: {looking fatigued} Hi there, Wormdingler, I got youse this cupcake {holds up a cupcake} for your famous fifth birthday. You don't need no consummate V's to be my bride. Oh, did I just say that out loud? {he looks around repeatedly}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- Strong Bad's comment about how the Internet ruined zombies, pirates, and ninjas refers to various Internet memes that have been popular over the years.
- "Constabulate" refers to a constable, one name for a Bobby (British police officer), emphasized by the "S is for Sucks Dragon" wearing a British police helmet.
Trivia
- This is the first time Trogdor has appeared in Free Country, USA.
Remarks
- Strong Bad sings a song with na-nas as lyrics, which were listed as no. 2 on his Bottom 10.
- In the Easter Egg, Coach Z's arms appear to be animated differently than they have been in previous toons, they appear to be drawn as a whole, instead of two seperate pieces that are manipulated. Bubs's arms saw a similar update in animation style in nightlife.
- Between the opening scene and the last Strong Bad scene, the background behind the window changes from a light gray to a pale blue.
Inside References
- The entire toon and all the dragons featured in it are a reference to the email dragon, as well as to the Trogday holiday.
- The page title makes a reference to Strong Bad's replacement email-checking chair, Le Restige, from the chair, which is also the chair that Strong Bad sits on at the beginning.
- The music in the beginning was first heard in portrait.
- This toon includes mentions of pants, peeing, style, and croissants.
- Strong Bad uses a faux French accent and wears a beret and a mustache.
- Strong Bad saying "Yes sir, sorry sir, right away sir" to Trogdor is very similar to when Homestar said the same thing to Pom Pom in from work.
- The newspaper headline reads "top mark b/w long V".
- Strong Bad saying "I'm fantastic Strong Bad" is similar to "I'm regular Strong Bad" from unnatural.
- The ghost representing Halloween is the same style as the ghost seen in space program.
