Summary

Whether crooked cop or private eye, nobody sticks it to the man like Dangeresque. This cool dude plays both sides of the law, gets all the ladies, and doesn't pull no punches.

Dangeresque, Strong Bad's Shaft-esque alter-ego, first appeared in stunt double when Strong Bad was asked if he did all his own stunts. Strong Bad responded with the first showing of his new film: "Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1." Dangeresque later returned for a prequel with co-star Homestar Runner as his partner in the email dangeresque 3. Strong Bad insists that the third Dangeresque film is coming soon, but he hasn't actually started on it yet.

In the films, which are shot with The Cheat's video camera and very sloppily edited together, Strong Bad plays Dangeresque, a wisecracking action hero who fights both the law and the crime (sic) with the help of Renaldo, played by Coach Z. The other Homestar Runner characters play bit parts in the films, and Strong Sad is not-so-subtly edited in as a stunt double for any character that might occasionally get hit or take a fall. Dangeresque's method of crimefighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the ladies smile. Three and half gold stars, rated PG for mild Strong Sad violence.

Appearances

Filmography

  • Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too? — Not in 3-D
Featured in dangeresque 3
  • Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1
Featured in stunt double
  • Dangerseque 3: The Criminal Projective — in 3D!
Mentioned in stunt double but not finished yet (probably never).

Other appearances

  • Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the Strong Bad Sings CD. Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see suntan).

Music

Since nothing says 1970s like a funky groove, Dangeresque has not one funky theme song, but more than one funky theme song!

The Theme from Dangeresque II

This song, fully titled "The theme from DANGERESQUE II: This time, it's not Dangeresque I," was track 17 on the Strong Bad Sings CD.

So dangerous, so dangerous

He fights the law,
But also fights the crime
But not as much
Dangeresque!

With Renaldo at his side
He'll have Renaldo at his side
Dangeresque! 
(Dangeresque!)

He's got some Chinese stars
And he keeps them under the bed
With a length of pipe
Dangeresque! 
(Length of pipe!)

The guy is Dangeresque
The mighty oak has fallen
If movies have taught me anything
He'll get the girl
(Or maybe not!)

Stick it to the man!
Stick it to the man!
Cool glasses!
Cool glasses!
Stick it to the man!
Stick it to the man!
(Whoo whoo!)
Cool, cool glasses!

He works alone
Except when... he works with Renaldo
Which is all the time
Dangeresque!

He's a private eye,
A crooked cop,
A secret agent,
And a celebrity pharmacist
Dangeresque!

That guy is Dangeresque!
Dangeresque!
Dangeresque!
Dangeresque!
Dangeresque!

Or did I?
