STRONG BAD: {singing} Away you dribble down the court with an email, you leave your dreams at the top of the keeey. {brings up the email}
subject: Trading Strong-gumHey Strongbad-
You should have trading cards...With a stick of gum in them.
Nerdly yours,
Daniel,
N.S. CANADA
{Strong Bad says "Another freakin' guy named Daniel" instead of "Daniel" and "not safe, in Canada" instead of "N.S. CANADA".}
STRONG BAD: Oh, Thanks for the tip, Daniel. I'll lay low here in the states for a while until things cool off. {clears screen}
STRONG BAD: Daniel, trading cards are the biggest waste of not a video game on the planet! In fact, I thought trading cards were outlawed the day they invented good graphics. As for the "gum" that comes with them, I'm pretty sure they replaced that with a pink piece of balsa wood back in the ealry 80's and nobody ever noticed. So, no, I shouldn't have trading cards. But most of the other idiots around here have engaged in some form of trading cardery. Let's rag on them, shall we?
{We see a wooden background, and trading cards are put on them as Strong Bad introduces them.}
STRONG BAD: {offscreen} First up is Coach Z's line of fakeless (?) sportsish managerial cards. What self-respecting twelve-year-old doesn't want to collect pictures of the smelly old man behind our favourite sports teams? And who could resist memorizing all these fabulous stats? Ooh, a record high of 23 butt patts in '84.
{cute back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, do you know the secret recipient of all those butt patts except o' one?
STRONG BAD: Let me guess, it...
HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, it was me. It was like I was made to {mumbles} for that season.
STRONG BAD: So, who got that last butt patt?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh. I think he gave himself that one. He's renowned for that self-butt patts.
{closeup of Strong Bad's head}
STRONG BAD: Yeah, known in seven states.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What?

Fun Facts
Real-World References
- "Whatsit Pile Tikes" are a parody of Garbage Pail Kids.
- The title screen for "C.H.E.A.T." is a reference to the notoriously unpopular Atari 2600 game E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which featured an uncharacteristically detailed title screen and is often cited as one of the main causes of the video game crash of 1983.
