COACH Z: Once again, thank you to Little Marzipan and her wonderful clogging. Okay, so up next we got the comedy styling of Little Strong Bad.
{Coach Z steps away from the front stage and Little Strong Bad walks on stage to general applause and lowers the microphone.}
LITTLE STRONG BAD: Thank you Coach Z,{pause} for not patting my butt. {audience laughs} Good evening, ladies and germs. Um... How about this cafeteria food?

Commentary Transcript
(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)
MIKE: So... here's another email that we made.
MATT: On our wed— {trips over his own tongue} wedthighs. It's, uh... I remember thinking how ambitious it was at the time.
MIKE: It is ambitious for—
MATT: Not only do we cut away... Um... Ahhh... Yeah... What?
MIKE: We've got a rack focus right here. Oooh, blurry monitor.
MATT: That's the old Strong Bad mouth, though. That's not very good. I remember this, that VCR was pretty complicated—
MIKE: That's Strong Sad.
MATT: S—what'd I say?
MIKE: Strong Bad. Strong Bad's the one with the red face.
MATT: {laughs} The tracking is amazing. Mike did that tracking and that little rainbow effect.
MIKE: Yeah, we used that a lot of times.
MATT: Yeah, 'cause it's so good. Nobody ever-
MIKE: Hold up!
MATT: —Why are people not as concerned with Coach Z with the fro and moustache?
MIKE: Yeah, no one cared.
MATT: I think it's great! And Little Strong Bad, he's wearing a—that's not a tuxedo, Mike, it's one of those tuxedo t-shirts.
MIKE: Like...the kind that Mark Cohen used to have.
MATT: Yeah. And if you, uh, look, he's wearing—he's got elastic waistband pants, khaki pants.
MIKE: {laughing} Grranimals.
MATT: {laughing} Grranimals. Yep, that's the stage from our elementary school, from Vanderlyn Elementary School, which we later make even more obvious in a Christmas cartoon.
MIKE: Yes.
MATT: Oooh! So this is also the only other time we reveal that Strong Bad actually has, like, legs, like flesh—flesh legs.
MIKE: Oh yeah.
