Transcript

{The scene starts out on a screen that resembles the "Address Not Found" screen of Mozilla Firefox. Strong Sad appears from the bottom of the frame, wearing a Deleteheads hat.}

STRONG SAD: {wags his finger} Oh, no you don't! The Deleteheads started—

{The scene shifts to the right, revealing Strong Mad and The Cheat in their Deleteheads hats standing next to a tent and an ice chest.}

STRONG SAD: —camping out for sbemail 200 weeks ago! {points with his thumb over his shoulder} Back of the line!

{The scene shifts further right, revealing that they are the only ones there. A tumbleweed rolls behind them.}

STRONG SAD: {off-screen} But there's really no one else here yet, so {reappears from the bottom of the frame} you can get right behind us. We're gonna play "Name That Inconsistency" later on if you want to join us.

{Strong Sad gets right in the viewer's face, causing Strong Mad and The Cheat to jump.}

STRONG SAD: {angrily} Don't even think about eating any of our Sun Chips! I packed those special!

{The scene shifts back to its original position. Clicking on the "Try Again" button will restart the toon.}
