Transcript
{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are in a field.}
STRONG MAD: A GLOWY BOX! A GLOWY BOX!
STRONG BAD: A glowy box? Are you sure that's what you'd get for your tattoo?
STRONG MAD: IT'S PERSONAL!
THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: I'd want mine to look like a prison tattoo that you carved out yourself with a spoon and some soap.
{Cut to a muscled arm.}
STRONG BAD: There'd be a rocket launcher, of course,—
{A rocket launcher appears on the arm.}
STRONG BAD: —and above that it'd just say, "Bad Guy."
{The words "BAD GUY" are written in yellow above the rocket launcher. Music begins. A silhouetted Strong Bad shakes his head back and forth in front of an orange background with yellow polka dots. Cut to a road sign that says, "now entering BAD GUY". The words "BAD GUY" pop out of the sign. Cut to Strong Bad dancing with a background of yellow and green stripes.}
SINGERS: Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.
{Strong Bad, in Strongbadia, beats a muffler with a pipe. Cut to a scene with Cold One bottles and a bowl of peanuts. Strong Bad spins around on top of the scene.}
SINGERS: Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.
{Strong Bad dances in front of a gray background with the words "BAD GUY".}
SINGERS: Strong Bad is a bad, bad man.
{A black background with Strong Bad's head poking up and his gloves poking down. The words "Bad guy" flash in purple and green neon.}
SINGERS: Strong Bad hates Marzipan.
{Strong Bad spray paints a poster with Marzipan that says, "vote whales".}
SINGERS: Strong Bad's got a master plan,
{Strong Bad spins upside down in front of the peanuts and bottles. Cut to a blueprint with a van and a dancing Strong Bad that reads, "MASTER PLAN".}
SINGERS: To buy a custom conversion van!
{A van drives toward the screen. The word "Vantastic" appears.}
SINGERS: Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.
{Strong Bad beats the muffler with the pipe again. Cut to a rocket launcher, which shoots a rocket at the screen. When the rocket "hits," the explosion says "DOOj."}
SINGERS: Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.
{Marshie flies around in an orange and yellow background}
SINGERS: Marshie is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.
{Trogdor walks by, burninating.}
SINGERS: Trogdor is a bad, bad guy.
{Cut back to the Field. Music ends. Homestar walks in.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, guys, whatcha ticking bot?
STRONG BAD: We're talking about something cool and interesting. You wouldn't understand.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, tattoos, huh? I'd get one on my forearm {the bulging arm reappears, and tattoos appear on it as Homestar talks} that said, "The For Real Deal," and has a picture of me dressed up like Uncle Sam.
STRONG BAD: You'd get one on your forearm, huh?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Or one on my bulging bicep that just says "Cake Man." {the bulging arm reappears, with 'cakeman' on it in crude blue script} Ooh, or a glowy box on my wrist...
STRONG BAD: {to The Cheat} I just don't have the heart to tell him.
STRONG MAD: YOU DON'T HAVE AR- {gets cut off by a cut to the bulging arm with a "THE END" tattoo, then changes to a black screen that says "done."}
Easter Eggs
- Click the screen when The Cheat is talking to see tattoo idea #26: "some kinda snake lady killing some kinda snake".
- Click on The Cheat after Homestar says "A glowy box on my wrist" to see a drawing of a box with the caption "Glowy box 4 ever."
Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first 'toon made in Mario Paint to be released since Super NES. The button on the main page when this toon debuted read "back to our roots".
- The song in this short is basically a parody of the original Super NES cartoon, but based on Strong Bad rather than Homestar Runner. The way the lyrics are structured is very similar.
Remarks
- Homestar's propeller is missing, as in the original Super NES cartoon.
Glitches
- The glowy box easter egg is clickable from when it appears until the end of the 'toon.
Inside References
- Strong Bad beats a muffler with a pipe. In no loafing, Strong Mad is inspired to do the same task.
- Strong Bad spray-painting Marzipan may be a reference to origins, in which he did the same thing.
- The ascending 32nd notes in the "Strong Bad is a Bad Guy" song are taken from the Teen Girl Squad Theme. They can be heard clearest before the vocal comes in.
Real World References
- Strong Bad's desire to have a tattoo that "you carved out yourself with a spoon and some soap" refers to the old prison cliché of carving weapons out of soap.
