Listen/download the "Laserdisc Song"[/url]
-
'''MATT:''' I would first like to say that in the commentary for "modeling", we incorrectly talked about the Christmas song, um, "Winter Wonderland". We were calling it, "Let it Snow". And we thought it involved Frosty.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Good job. Good job. Now that we've got that out of the way, we can talk about this email that I don't really remember very much about.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah? Is this one you haven't watched a whole lot?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I do remember that it's the old style wrestling match.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Yes.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' I couldn't remember what the email itself was.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Where... Did you just make up Fabrosi?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' I think so.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah? That didn't come from anywhere?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' I don't think so.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' So, is Fabrosi... Which one is he? Is he the second or the third best friend? Or is he both?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Uh... He's probably... second.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Okay.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Fabrosi sounds like a second best friend.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like...
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{singing along with the email}'' The Cheat's playin' something on a Laserdisc!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I totally forgot about this part.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' This is a good song.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' My roommate in college had a Laserdisc player in our dormroom.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' I remember watching The Abyss.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yep, with the director's cut, I believe.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Yeah, it had some nice surround sound. The bubbles; You could hear the bubbles all around you.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' I like what the... Uh... I like that we put in that loading screen. ''{both laugh}'' Homestar's tapping his foot... That was an old loader.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Does his body just sort of morph from being gray into that body?
+
-
 
+
-
''{pause}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, when we first...
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Oh!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad's arms aren't... The outlines aren't black.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Yeah.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Because with the old monitor we used to use you couldn't tell the difference between black and really dark gray, and so when you watch some of that old stuff it just looks awful because the colors are way off.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, so, oh no... Fabrosi is his first best friend! ''{both laugh}'' I don't remember this email at all.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Do you remember Don King there in the background?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. I think we discussed this in the commentary for Marshmallow's Last Stand; There's a duck, and a Devil... ''{long pause}'' So how about Strong Bad's accent, Mike? It's the same. It's very much been consistent throughout the years.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, never...
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He has no arm there!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' That's an advanced technique that we never would have used back then...
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' No, I think we would have! We were much more ambitious back in those days, and so I tried to make it bad, but good...
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' It's all angular!
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Yeah, the sentiment behind it, uh, is good. But it's pulled off poorly.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' And in Marshmallow's Last Stand cartoon, the crowd noise is just inexplicably– is not there for certain scenes... And it comes back.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' I think it stops.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Yeah, at one point.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Because it was just an event... It was an event.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' Oh, that's what it was.
+
-
 
+
-
''{pause}''

-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' I like that old Marzipan... Is she only in that... That, what? That old game? The "She Loves Me"?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' And the old character page.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' And the old character page. The stage character page... Stage page. I'll start callin' it "stage page". ''{pause}'' Look, Mungo's caviar!
+

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Theo Huxtable likes Mungo's caviar.

'''MIKE:''' And Adam... Wasn't he Adam Sandler in that episode?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' He was! They went to the prom. Got dropped off in a helicopter.
+
-
 
+
-
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Really?
+
-
 
+
-
'''MATT:''' Mm-hm. ''{pause}'' Aw... ''{pause, laughs}'' He's a star! ''{singing Homestar's theme}'' Ding ding ding ding ding da ding ding ding... ''{both laugh}'' Ah... Oh, Strong Bad! He hates it too. ''{pause}'' I never even thought– That reminds me... Uh, there's something where... Not Lionel Hutz... There's some Simpsons where somebody's asleep after watching some old Simpsons clips or something.

-
'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Eh, well, sorry.
