{The computer responds with "Bad command or file name"}
STRONG BAD: {not typing} What? Oh. {typing} no for real, print me out a million dollar bill, man.exe
{The computer responds with "Syntax error."}
STRONG BAD: {typing} um, this time, really print me out a million dollars bill.nofoolin'
{The computer responds with "Cut it out, you."}
STRONG BAD: {not typing} What the—! Don't give me none of that crosstalk! Oh well, it was worth a shot. Now on to... {sighs} on to the e-mail.
{Strong Bad hits enter, types "strongbad_email.exe," and hits enter again}
{reading}
is there a story behiend the patch on the couch? if so, do tell! form, your pal
{Strong Bad pronounces "behiend" as "buh-HEEND" and "form" like it's spelled}
STRONG BAD: Ooh, my pal! {typing} Well Palbert, it's a good story. And now you all have to hear it.
{Cut to flashback of Strong Bad in the basement with a sack acting all mysterious.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Seems I was looking for a place to hide all my Aztec gold. But when I made the first incision, not only did I realize that I don't have any Aztec gold, {bag falls open to reveal it was full of oil filters} but I unleashed a stench of biblical proportions.
{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}
STRONG BAD: {typing} They had to call in a hazmat team just to hose me hose me hose me {typed then deleted, typed then deleted, then typed} down!
{Cut to The Poopsmith wearing a "Has Matt?" suit hosing Strong Bad down as he screams.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} I had to spend a fortune on Glade plugins.
{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to Strong Bad at the computer.}
STRONG SAD: Now wait a second! That's not how I remember it.
STRONG BAD: Oh, and I'm sure every loser out there wants to hear your loser opinions, loser.
STRONG SAD: They do!
{Cut to flashback of a young Strong Bad in the basement}
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} I seem to remember a young Strong Bad thinking that Olympic sprinter Carl Lewis was a woman. And that he was hot!
{Young Strong Bad writes "Strong Bad LUVS Carla Lewis!! and thinks shes hott!!" with a Sharpie on the couch.}
STRONG BAD: That is entirely untrue.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Lies! All lies!
{Cut to Homestar standing behind Strong Bad.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Clearly I'm the only one who remembers how it all went down.
{Cut to flashback of Homestar laying on the couch in the basement.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover} It was not so long ago that I was in Strong Bad's basement spitting Teddy Grahams all over the place. One of them got stuck to the ceiling.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Homestar, shut up! This is about that patch on the couch. It's clearly already on there in your flashback.
{Cut back to the two Brothers Strong and Homestar at the computer}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh oh ohhhhh. I thought this week's e-mail was entitled "Teddy Graham Memories."
{Cut to shadowed "This guy's voice has been digitally altered" interview session}
MYSTERIOUS PERSON {Clearly Coach Z}: No, no. I got the real scoop. Strong Bad had me over for Gumbo one night, and I don't know what kind of doodoo meat he was using in there, but I had to puke!
{Cut to flashback of Coach Z's shadow in the basement}
COACH Z: {voiceover} So I went downstairs and I noticed this little rip in the couch, so I puked in it!
{Coach Z's shadow pukes in the couch. Cut back to interview session}
COACH Z: {voiceover} I... I'm sorry for what I done!
{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}
STRONG BAD: {typing} I liked that gumbo! I didn't use no doodoo meat. {shaking fist} If I ever find out who that guy is... Well, palbert, there's your answer. Me? I'm gonna go over there.
{Strong Bad starts to get up from his seat, but sits down again.}
STRONG BAD: {not typing} Oh wait! {typing} make homestar's head explode.exe
{The computer responds with "No can do." The camera pulls back so we can see Strong Sad and Homestar again}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: No can do.
STRONG BAD: Oh crap! this computer is worthless.
{Zoom back to just Strong Bad and the computer. Strong Bad now gets up and leaves. The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- You can click on a hidden 'print out million dollar bill, please.exe" at the bottom to print out a million dollar bill. This is more easily seen if you use the contrast knob to make the background blue.
- At the end you can click on the "make homestars head explode.exe" link to cut to a short of Homestar, again spitting Teddy Grahams all over da basement.
- {cut back to the basement. Homestar is laying on the couch spitting Teddy Grahams all over again, with The Cheat standing nearby. After a few seconds, The Cheat's head inexplicably explodes}
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: Dang, The Cheat. That computer's got something against you. Did you ever, like, pour Mountain Dew all over it?
Fun Facts
Explanations
- When The Poopsmith is hosing Strong Bad, he is wearing a blue shirt, reading "Has Matt?" Possibly a "got milk?" take off, this is also a play on words with "hazmat", which stands for Hazardous Materials.
- It also could be a reference to Matt Chapman.
- This is the 1st time the Cheat's head exploded without showing his eyes after his head exploded (the next time was pizzaz).
Inside References
- In the "make homestars head explode.exe" Easter egg, Homestar Runner asks The Cheat, "Did you ever like, pour Mountain Dew all over it?" That is a reference to the email anything, when Homestar Runner pours Mountain Dew all over Strong Bad's computer.
- The Cheat's Head Exploding is a running gag.
- The "Stench of Biblical Proportions" makes a sound similar to Bad Graphics Ghost.
Real-World References
- Glade Plugins are air fresheners that plug into wall sockets.
- Little Strong Bad is wearing a shirt featuring a rather well known advertisement for "Rock City", a tourist trap in the south.
- Strong Bad repeating "hose me down" seems to be a reference to skate videos.
- The fact that Strong Bad says "a stench of biblical proportions" refers to The Bible and the history of destructions in it, often on a large scale such as The Flood and Sodom And Gommorah.
- "Palbert" may be a reference to the TV show/comic strip "Dilbert" in which many principal characters living at Dilbert's home have the same naming convention: Dilbert, Dogbert, Catbert, and Ratbert.
- Carl Lewis is an actual sprinter from the Olympics. He does have a sister who was an Olympic long jumper, but her name is Carol, not Carla.
