Transcript

{Fade in the Basement of the Brothers Strong. The projector screen comes down and the lights dim. When the projector turns on, Strong Bad stands in front of it.}

STRONG BAD: Since only one of us dressed up for Halloween this year, {an image of Homestar Runner in his Impressive Clergyman costume flies onto the screen} it's only fitting that I just look at one fanstume. {The image of Homestar flies out of frame} But don't worry. {pumps fists} It's gonna be a deep dive into that one fanstume. And the only thing that's better than deep dives is a musical deep dive!

{Strong Bad leaps out of the scene as music begins to play. Title card reads "Fanstume [singular] 2024".}

{A picture of a fan wearing a Strong Bad costume with a cardboard box made to look like a streetlight on his head appears. The arms are animated to move up and down.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh-hoh! I wanna thank you so! {Two graphics of Dangeresque with streetlamp heads walk into to the scene} For dressing up like that one joke {A poster for Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate appears} from my Roomisode!

{The street corner from Roomisode 2 appears on the Compy 386.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh-hoh! I wanna thank you so! {the cursor clicks on the stoplight and selects Get/Use} For dressing up like that one joke. From my roomisode.

{Dangeresque walks behind the stoplight so his head is obscured by it.}

DANGERESQUE: {low quality} Oh, check me out, I'm Stoplight Head! Disruptor of traffic patterns! Bane of the DOT!

{The Compy disappears. The photo is animated to dance.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} It's a perfect combination {the photo dances} of obscure refer-ation! And half-decent costume fabrication!

{Rave lights spin around. Close up on the photo.}

STRONG BAD: Put a file folder box on your head!

{A diagram, Fig. 3a, Singular Fanstume, shows a box getting placed on a man's head. He gives a thumbs up.}

STRONG BAD: That you painted yellow, black, green and red! Next time, if you don't mind, may I suggest—

{Squares of color come out from the photo.}

STRONG BAD: Use colored construction paper {the papers fold and markers draw on the photo} instead of this scribble mess!

{Back to the full photo.}

STRONG BAD: {rapping} Oh, it's time to talk about the gloves! {disembodied boxing gloves appear on screen} The mitts, {Coach Z hands appear}, the paws, {two The Cheat arms appear} meat hooks! {Two Strong Mad hands appear on the photo, then all disappear} At first glance it's fine, {splits into two photographs} but you take a second look, {A question mark appears on one of the "gloves", which is not a glove} What the crap? What the crap? {Zoom in and rotate} Are you just holding a couple of red baseball caps?

{Record needle scratches.}

{The lights dim, and two candles appear with a boxing glove on a metal tray.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Now, if you don't have boxing gloves at home, I understand. {The boxing glove stands up} It's not the kind of thing a lot of people have {glove lays down} laying around.

{The candles and dish disappear.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} But there are so many things that are red and round {such as, a red balloon, a red bowling ball, an apple, a tomato, a red globe, and another fruit. These disappear and replace the hats on the photo, ending on the globes} That you probably had at hand!

{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad drawing of the Fanstumer Schooner sailing toward an island with two red baseball caps. In the corner it reads "Here be wagons"}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Yet the siren song of two red baseball caps {hearts and notes appear on the island} crashed your fanstume ship into land!

{The panel shows the boat crashing into the island, reading "rather dashed!!". The hats fall on the costume's hands.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Like the rocky shoals... dashed it apart. {The costume says "This is a highly acceptable substitute!"} Made you... pick something stupid...

{Cut to the photograph and fade out.}

{Fade back in.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} But wait! Everybody hold on! {A magnifying glass cursor appears} Let's zoom in now!

{A box encloses one of the hats and zooms in.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} 'Cause maybe I was wrong! {music cuts} The hat looks kinda blurry. {musical sting as the image becomes blurry} Maybe you were in a hurry! {the photograph dashes in and out. An animated sun appears} But it's so bright and the sun is up! {a camera viewer appears and takes a shot} I'm sure the camera shutter was fast enough! So why does it look like that? Why the crap is it a baseball hat?

{Fade out. Pop back in.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} wait! {Oh-oh-dang appears} Oh-oh dang! Is this some photoshop?

{Cut to a picture of a baseball card of glen w/ grape and Ilko Skevüld's ID wearing red baseball hats. A cursor isolates the hats.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} It looks like multiple pictures of different angles of hats that you had to crop!

{Photograph fades in.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} I appreciate the effort, {a severed soolnd with a bone sticking out appears} but there's an elephant foot in the room! And that's if you're gonna photoshop, why didn't you just use...

{The soolnd dances and then jumps out of frame.}

STRONG BAD: {imitating the drum fill that plays at the same time} Boodle-a boodle-a, blap-um blap-um!

{The scene fills with a grid of Strong Bad's boxing gloves with transparent backgrounds.}

STRONG BAD: {singing, reading the sign} Transparent PNG's of boxing gloves!

{A search engine with an urchin called sea-urch appears, and "transparent pngs of boxing gloves" is typed in. "Search it out!" is selected.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} A simple image search will yield you dozens of pages!

{Several PNGs of live-action boxing gloves from different angles, including one with the Strong Bad plush, appear.}

{Cut back to the photo. A flotilla of boxing gloves fly past.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Transparent PNGs of boxing gloves! {Strong Bad's gloves flash onscreen in different colors and angles} All different angles, colors and sizes!

{Boxing gloves explode from the sign.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Transparent PNGs of boxing gloves!

{Four scenes: a field, a sunset over water, a snow scene and flowers appear. Images of boxing gloves are overlaid.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} They make everything better! In all types of weather!

{Cut back to the photo as more boxing gloves are overlaid on the hands and feet.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Transparent PNGs of boxing gloves!

{Cut to the King of Town in a living room. Boxing glove images are overlaid.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Paste them on grandma! Paste them on grandma!

{The photograph fades in as Strong Bad's face sings on the front of a boxing glove image.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Transparent PNGs of boxing gloves!

{Another one sings, this time with the mouth on the hand hole.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} It's the key to our happiness!

{Cut to the costume head. Strong Bad's mouth sings and fades out.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Transparent PNGs of boxing gloves!

{A Dangeresque graphic with the boxing glove image for a head sings.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Oh-ooh! You know they're the best~

{Strong Bad stands in front of the projector with two red baseball caps on his hands.}

STRONG BAD: Hah! Baseball hats on hands!

{Fade to black. Stoplight Head Dangeresque appears by the word "end.". Musics by Rich Trott.}
