| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm assuming the G stands for generally overused girl's first name. Well, generic name, you're really onto something here. Turns out I AM super cool. ''{He clears his throat.}'' As for monuments, I already got one. But it's kinda ''{He clears the screen and continues typing.}'' only of my right foot. You might know it better as DUN DUN DAAA: The Strongbadia Sign!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to the [[Stop Sign]], then to a picture of Strong Bad. As he narrates, a diagram of the monument is built.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials. On a massive scale that would rival the Aztecs and their...techno-chocolate land.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut back to [[Compy 386]].}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anyways, we lost our funding or public interest waned or something distracted me. Man, what was it? What could possibly have distracted me from ''{mumbling}'' humbera hum...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are building the monument.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, The Cheat. That totally looks like my right foot. It's got all the rightness of a foot without all the footdom of a right.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!!! ''{These words float across the screen.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Check it out The Cheat. ''{Strong Bad looks and points off-screen.}'' It's the Thnikkaman!! ''{Strong Bad and The Cheat run to meet the Thnikkaman, who is obviously Bubs wearing sunglasses and a "TH" sign taped to his chest.}'' Hey, Thnikkaman!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''THNIKKAMAN:''' Hey, kid!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' Can we have some?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, okay.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD and THE CHEAT (in Cheat-speak):''' Thanks, Thnikkaman!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{He says this in a low voice, perhaps translating for The Cheat.}'' Thanks, Thnikkaman.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah. ''{takes off his sunglasses}'' Shut up, kid!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' There goes the Thnikkaman!!! ''{Now these words float across the screen. Strong Bad and The Cheat look at each other, Strong Bad's mouth is agape.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Thnikkaman exits. Cut back to Compy 386.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you can see why I got distracted. I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman. I don't care what you're doin. No one can resist. ''{not typing}'' Speakin' of monuments, somebody should make one to the Thnikkaman. Oh the things that man does! Come to think of it, what exactly ''does'' that man do? ''{typing again}'' Anyways, I'm gonna go try and find some of that Technochocolate. That stuff sounds a-prettypretty good!

| + | |
| - | ===Trivia===
| + | |
| - | *This email can be reached by typing [http://www.thnikkaman.com http://www.thnikkaman.com].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Remarks===
| + | |
| - | *During the "technochocolate" Easter egg, the tiny sign above the lower light switch that The Cheat uses says: "The Cheat," as his switch in [[techno]] does.
| + | |
| - | *When Homestar is about to put on the pants, his legs are placed in the wrong place.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Goofs===
| + | |
| - | *Strong Bad forgets the period after "distracted" near the end when he says, "So you can see why I got distracted".
| + | |
| - | *The Enter-sound when Strong Bad cuts the e-mail away to answer it does not play completely. It has a dead end.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Inside References===
| + | |
| - | *Some of the things comprising Strong Bad's monument are from other toons: the "Pie Factory" is from [[stunt double]], the palm tree is from [[island]], and the toilet paper and the fake afro (from Homestar's John McEnroe costume) are from [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | *The fact that Homestar is attempting to put on [[Homestar's Pants|pants]] and then, after being distracted, doesn't put them on, is in reference to the ongoing joke about Homestar not wearing any pants (which is discussed in [[long pants]]).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===Real-World References===
| + | |
| - | *Techno-chocolate-land is an attempt to pronounce [[Wikipedia:Tenochtitlan|Tenochtitlan]], the capitol city and religious center of the ancient [[Wikipedia:Aztec|Aztecs]] (actually pronounced teh-nohtch-tee-TLAHN), built where [[Wikipedia:Mexico City|Mexico City]] is today. The inclusion of "chocolate" in the mispronunciation may be due to the fact that the Aztecs are often credited for the "discovery" of chocolate.
