==Ways to Lose the Game==
All Game Overs have the same "go to jail" ending.
*Use the door 3 times
*Talk to the door 3 times
*Use the coffee with the case file
*Use Dragon-Man takeout with the case file
*Miss with the inked UNSOLVED stamp on the case file

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia: Film Noir|Noir atmosphere]] is a film technique that is often used in [[Wikipedia:Crime Dramas|Crime Dramas]].

===Remarks===
*When Pom Pom unsticks the take-out food, Japanese letters flash briefly, despite the fact that the food and kung-fu martial arts are Chinese.
**The characters are [[wikipedia:katakana|katakana]], and spell "Kikku", or basically "Kick!"
*After collecting the photographic evidence, when the camera is used on an item in the room Dangeresque says he won't take another picture because he's "only gots one instant shot left," but when the camera is used on the window he says he's "outta film."
*Strong Bad does not look as short next to The Chief as he does next to the people in the "Behind The Bad" shorts.
*The only time you need to manually move Strong Bad is if he's on the opposite side of the desk.
*You can also use the numpad to move, even diagonally, much like the classic Sierra games.
*The text combination is said to be "on the floorboards", however there does not appear to be a wood floor.
*The SWAT team glove looks remarkably like the glove of [[The Poopsmith]].
*In the ending, Dangeresque jumps out the window and broken glass flies out, although the window did not appear to have glass.
*You can still continue the game after getting a game over by clicking the screen. The screen will say "...OR DID I?" and you will be brought back to where you just were in the game.

===Goofs===
*On the opening scene when Dangeresque enters the room, after his first line of dialog his position moves slightly to the left.

===Fixed Goofs===
*The Videlectrix main page initially linked to [[HR:roomisode1.html|roomisode1.html]] upon release. This was fixed within a few minutes.
*During the beginning of the game, when Dangeresque talks to The Chief, one of his speech bubbles misspelled "business" as "buisness".

===Glitches===
*The safe-combination note is semi-transparent and in front of Dangeresque, so when walking over the safe-combination note, its color changes to whatever color is behind it.
*While using the numpad to move, sometimes moving diagonally will make Strong Bad walk backwards.
*If you use the takeout package with the blinds, but Strong Bad is not near the window at the time, Strong Bad will reach into the air in his current location, and the takeout will magically appear on the windowsill. If you do the same with other inventory items or open/close the blinds when you are not near the window, Strong Bad will walk over to the window before this animation occurs.
*If you keep repeatedly clicking to use the un-solved stamp on the case file it will cause the animation to glitch and reset and can even cause the file to become marked solved with the stamp mark in the center of the page
*You can walk Dangeresque into the desk if you walk up into it near the bottom-left corner.
*While the invisible ink is showing, while Dangeresque walks over it, the spots make his foot transparent and he appears to have red spots on his foot.

===Fixed Glitches===
*Looking at the rug when the glowing ink is visible would previously earn points each time attempted.
**Looking at or using the take-out before having it dislodged could also be repeated for additional points.
*Placing the whoozit last would prevent the player from finishing the game.
*If you inked the stamp, then pounded the desk again, another stamp would appear in the drawer.
*Placing the inked rubber stamp in the window and then closing the desk drawer used to make the stamp disappear. Reopening the drawer then made it reappear. Attempting to retrieve the stamp replayed the stamp-getting sequence. (The stamp did not reappear on the window sill until re-inked.) This caused two stamps (one inked, one dry) in the inventory at once. These actions also earned points each time they were completed, thus one was able to achieve a score over 170. However, once placed and disappeared, the blinds could not be closed again and Strong Bad was also unable to put anything new on the window sill.
*Clicking on the switch while below the chair formerly caused the game to hang.
*Originally, after spinning the chair the first time and uncovering the biz card, the card would briefly appear a second time as Strong Bad was hopping off the chair. A few days after the game was released, the "hopping-off" animation was shortened to correct this.

===Inside References===
*[[Puking|Upchuck]] is called "whoozit", which is similar to how poop is called "[[whatsit]]".
*One of the "Game Over" screens in the game says "[[Seriously]] though".
*When Strong Bad gets off the chair the first time, he says "feelin' woozy", like Strong Sad did in [[caffeine]].
*If Strong Bad stamps the casefile as UN-SOLVED, he remarks "This does not look good for Dangeresque", which is similar to Homestar's line in [[50 emails]]
*"The Chief" is an example of an [[integral article]], as well as sounding very similar to [[The Cheat]].
*Talking to certain objects will have Dangeresque ask the object "Do you know the times?", as [[Homestar Runner]] asked of [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals#Monstrosity|the Monstrosity]] in [[animal]].
*When Dangeresque talks to the Chinese food container, he references a line from [[Trogdor]]'s theme song.
**Also, when he refers to the figure on the box as a "Dragon Man", it further references the song.
*Strong Bad asking whether something makes his head look husky is a reference to [[modeling]].
*Coach Z previously said "Stairmaster" as an attempt at Homestar's name in [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*Strong Bad telling the switch that he doesn't rave is a reference to the Cheat's raving in [[techno]].
*Strong Bad mentions that there is a camera [[all up on|all up in]] the safe.
*Strong Bad mentions that his [[parents|grandma]] used to air her whoozit out.
*Strong Bad imagines a [[note to self]].

===Real-World References===
*The background art, particularly the clouds at the end of the game, are very reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Day of the Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]] and various adventure games by [[Wikipedia:LucasArts Entertainment|LucasArts Entertainment]].
*When using the phone, Strong Bad says "We're sending help immediately, Mrs. Fletcher!", a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:I've fallen and I can't get up!|LifeCall commercial]].
*The loading screen says "Loading from Drive 8. Insert Disk 5." is a reference to Monkey Island, in a part in which that text appears to scare the players, causing many to call LucasArts, even though it was a joke.
*At the start, the Videlectrix logo has sparkles similar to the Lucasarts logo in [[Wikipedia:The Secret Of Monkey Island|The Secret Of Monkey Island]] by Lucasarts and [[Wikipedia:Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places)|Leisure Suit Larry 2]] by Sierra.
*The scene with Dangeresque and Renaldo bursting into the room is similar to the intro sequence from [[Wikipedia:Sam & Max Hit The Road|Sam & Max Hit The Road]].
**The music within the game is also similar to that of Sam & Max Hit The Road.
*Strong Bad going to jail is a reference to Game Over sequences in Sierra adventure games, this was previously parodied in the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island Series|Monkey Island]] series.
**The Game Over screen also has some resemblance to the game over screen in [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2|Donkey Kong Country 2]]... or does it?
**The van in which Strong Bad is transported looks very much like the van used for the same purpose in [[Wikipedia:Where in the U.S.A. is Carmen Sandiego?|Where in the U.S.A. is Carmen Sandiego?]]
*A [[Wikipedia: Stairmaster|Stairmaster]] is a piece of exercise equipment.
*Taking a "proverbial bite out of proverbial crime" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:McGruff the Crime Dog|McGruff the Crime Dog]].
*The detective that can't leave his own office is the initial driver of the community-driven webcomic [http://www.mspaintadventures.com''Problem Sleuth''].
*When using the eyeball on Strong Bad, he occasionally says "Who's the expensive action star with the cheapest costume ever-DANGERESQUE! Ooh, you dang right." This is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Isaac Hayes|Isaac Hayes]]' [[Wikipedia:Theme from Shaft|theme song]] from the movie [[Wikipedia:Shaft (1971 film)|Shaft]].

==Transcript==

''{A view of Strong Bad from behind, sitting in his basement typing at the Corpy on a folding table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checking emails at home from your worrrrk computer, ''{the view shifts to a closeup of the screen}'' is kinda like playing first person shooters with your girlfriend. It kinda ruins them booooth.

<blockquote class="corpy email" style="border:#ddd;border-bottom:#ccc;">
Dear Strong Bad, 
my brother had a friend over today and he drove 
me crazy!! What should I do about it? 
 
Crudfully, Henry Wisner WI
<div style="border:none;background:#08089c"></div>
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dear. Streer. Beer." He reads the closing as a question, as though he's not believing what he's reading, and says "Wisconsin" in place of "WI".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before insane parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch. The hatch is being knocked at from inside}'' locked him in the attic.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent.

''{The attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's fingers appear through a gap. His index finger wiggles.}

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know we don't have an a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, fine! When we taped him to the ceiling.

''{The air vent transforms into Lil' Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape. Pan down to Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' That'll teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that Bubble Tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap!

''{Pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' We were out of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

''{cut to Lil' Strong Sad, who is smiling}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Haha! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{cut to a top shot of Lil' Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kids always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image with a top hat}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image of a person}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs and like rabbit-shaped image}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z and like image of a man, shaking slightly}'' Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door. ''{the imaginary man lifts up an arm}''

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, anyway, Strong Bad [sic]  and Scotty Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ahahaha! ''{pan left to show Lil' Strong Sad}'' That's a good one!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{holds stomach with both hands, making dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Ohohoho!

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this ''{raises brick}'' definite brick to Scotty Titi's face! EH!

''{Cut to wide shot as Lil' Strong Bad throws brick at Lil' Strong Sad, which lands harmlessly on the ground.}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me.

''{Cut to the door to Strong Mad's room. A loud smacking noise is heard from within, causing the whole house to shake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Mad was going through some... ahem... ''{Cut to Teen Strong Mad in his room, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY". He has acne, facial hair, curly hair, and large glasses.}'' ''changes'' in those days.

'''TEEN STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice cracking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend—

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad sitting in front of the couch in the basement with copies of ''Time'' magazine on the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —by exposing him as a ''real''ginary friend. ''{As he says this, Lil' Strong Bad pops out from behind the couch with a sack of "Fat Dumb White Flour"}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Aha! ''{empties flour onto floor; Lil' Strong Sad looks surprised momentarily and Lil' Strong Bad starts looking inside the now empty sack}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks, big brother. I've always wanted to pit my skills ''{pats belly}'' against a pile of cake flour!

''{screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, at one point, I tried to... ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad facing away from the screen, slowly zooming in}'' Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad with blue liquid around his mouth. Two empty bottles of Blue Drink are visible.}

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman!

''{The two imaginary friends appear; Frishy Freshy Dragonman is half-dragon half-man and Scotty Titi is a lump wearing a hat}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Wait. ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad and Lil' Strong Sad}'' Scotty Titi is just a lump? ''{cut to Scotty}'' A mound? ''{cut to closeup of Scotty}'' A pile?

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Cut to the two imaginary friends. Frishy Freshy Dragonman burninates Scotty Titi.}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' ''{to Lil' Strong Bad}'' Can I go now?

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You ''{types "Ya"}'' still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know?  I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

*A [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooter]] is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective.

*During the scene where Lil' Strong Bad is drilling hole in the brick, Strong Bad says "So, anyway, Strong ''Bad'' and Scotty Titi..." rather than "Strong ''Sad'' and Scotty Titi..."
*Strong Bad apparently does the impossible feat of twisting his arms in a complete circle after he dumps the flour "on" Scotty Titi. (to the viewer, he flips the bag of flour by twisting his arms counter-clockwise, then does it again to turn the bag right-side-up.) Additionally, his arms appear to go through each other, as his arms don't cross when the bag is flipped upside-down. Finally, the thumbs on his gloves remain in the same orientation whether holding the bag of flour upside-down or right-side-up.

==Transcript==

''{A view of Strong Bad from behind, sitting in his basement typing at the Corpy on a folding table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checking emails at home from your worrrrk computer, ''{the view shifts to a closeup of the screen}'' is kinda like playing first person shooters with your girlfriend. It kinda ruins them booooth.

<blockquote class="corpy email" style="border:#ddd;border-bottom:#ccc;">
Dear Strong Bad, 
my brother had a friend over today and he drove 
me crazy!! What should I do about it? 
 
Crudfully, Henry Wisner WI
<div style="border:none;background:#08089c"></div>
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dear. Streer. Beer." He reads the closing as a question, as though he's not believing what he's reading, and says "Wisconsin" in place of "WI".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before insane parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch. The hatch is being knocked at from inside}'' locked him in the attic.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent.

''{The attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's fingers appear through a gap. His index finger wiggles.}

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know we don't have an a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, fine! When we taped him to the ceiling.

''{The air vent transforms into Lil' Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape. Pan down to Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' That'll teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that Bubble Tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap!

''{Pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' We were out of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

''{cut to Lil' Strong Sad, who is smiling}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Haha! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{cut to a top shot of Lil' Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kids always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image with a top hat}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image of a person}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs and like rabbit-shaped image}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z and like image of a man, shaking slightly}'' Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door. ''{the imaginary man lifts up an arm}''

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, anyway, Strong Bad [sic]  and Scotty Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ahahaha! ''{pan left to show Lil' Strong Sad}'' That's a good one!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{holds stomach with both hands, making dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Ohohoho!

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this ''{raises brick}'' definite brick to Scotty Titi's face! EH!

''{Cut to wide shot as Lil' Strong Bad throws brick at Lil' Strong Sad, which lands harmlessly on the ground.}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me.

''{Cut to the door to Strong Mad's room. A loud smacking noise is heard from within, causing the whole house to shake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Mad was going through some... ahem... ''{Cut to Teen Strong Mad in his room, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY". He has acne, facial hair, curly hair, and large glasses.}'' ''changes'' in those days.

'''TEEN STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice cracking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend—

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad sitting in front of the couch in the basement with copies of ''Time'' magazine on the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —by exposing him as a ''real''ginary friend. ''{As he says this, Lil' Strong Bad pops out from behind the couch with a sack of "Fat Dumb White Flour"}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Aha! ''{empties flour onto floor; Lil' Strong Sad looks surprised momentarily and Lil' Strong Bad starts looking inside the now empty sack}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks, big brother. I've always wanted to pit my skills ''{pats belly}'' against a pile of cake flour!

''{screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, at one point, I tried to... ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad facing away from the screen, slowly zooming in}'' Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad with blue liquid around his mouth. Two empty bottles of Blue Drink are visible.}

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman!

''{The two imaginary friends appear; Frishy Freshy Dragonman is half-dragon half-man and Scotty Titi is a lump wearing a hat}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Wait. ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad and Lil' Strong Sad}'' Scotty Titi is just a lump? ''{cut to Scotty}'' A mound? ''{cut to closeup of Scotty}'' A pile?

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Cut to the two imaginary friends. Frishy Freshy Dragonman burninates Scotty Titi.}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' ''{to Lil' Strong Bad}'' Can I go now?

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You ''{types "Ya"}'' still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know?  I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

''{Homestar is sitting at his [[hremail]] desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Tiecollarondemous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Tiecollarondemous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! ''{A record scratch is heard.}'' I can't takes it no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A tool with a very spiky end is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my comprooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place while his hair gets slightly blown, and sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echos his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is pretending to eat from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer Pop-Tart with a vengeance! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a couple of green stain drips on the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like, "Doooooosh!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like, "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops flies toward Coach Z for nearly eight seconds. As Strong Bad continues the explosion, Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said it like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one. I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk it broken in two from the explosion, and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side; quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{more angrily; still quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Uh, yes, I believe we do.
:'''GARDENBOY:''' Well, can I fight them instead?

*You are unable to e-mail Strong Bad in this e-mail.

===Remarks===
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
** After the virus was gone, Bubs was seen using a pump action shotgun, when in this clip, it is a double-barreled shotgun.
* Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by [[Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.
* The USB standard had not yet been invented at the time 486-based laptops were available.

*Marzipan's Garden Weasel has five wheels with four tines each, while real models have six wheels with eight tines each.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor. Also, although Strong Bad does not move, he is standing on some of the ashes as well.

*The word "millennium" is misspelled during the description of the steak sandwich.
*For one frame the black part of Strong Bad's mask in the reflection comes off the Tandy when Strong Bad punches it.
*Strong Bad's pants switch from having a purple sheen to having a gray sheen during the course of the cartoon.


===Inside References===
*The text on the mug on Homestar's desk appears to read "Auntie Gertr♥de's Tea", which is likely a reference to [[Aunt Gert]], the pantyhose doll from [[garage sale]].
*The explosion montage comprises scenes from [[gimmicks]], [[invisibility]] (slightly modified; see below), [[virus]] (not previously depicted), [[retirement]] (B), and [[retirement]] (A), respectively.
**In his flashback, the broken [[Tandy 400]] explodes when Strong Bad knocks it off his desk. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]].
*The broken section of wall above the destroyed desk is the same shape as the the broken section of wall behind the Compy at the end of [[virus]].
*[[Onomatopoeia|Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner Universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
**Oddly enough, this toon appeared just several days before the 4th of July, the holiday Happy Fireworks was about.

*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when Senor Cardgage first shows up in his house, and he and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] both smile in the Pop-Tart scene.
*Although censored, [[blood]] can still be seen trickling down Homestar Runner's face after being hit with the garden weasel.
*The scene in which Strong Bad introduces his "new computer" is a parody of the [[Lappy 486]]'s intro in the email [[animal]]. The background is originally from [[The Show]].
*Coach Z's "Port Plus" was previously mentioned in [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Horrible Painting]] for some.
*The Lappy's pronunciation "bwees-ness" was used previously in [[theme park]], where Strong Bad makes fun of how the email's author misspells "business".
*Strong Sad exclaiming "Oh, child!" echoes [[retirement]], when the Lappy exclaimed the same thing.
*The "Fightin' Coach Zs" logo from [[One Two, One Two]] appears on the athletic field.
*Strong Bad's line "Aaah! I can't takes it no more!" from offscreen is reminiscent of [[First Time Here?]].
*"Org-ethnic" is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[organic]]" and "ethnic".
*The image of a [[Lappy_486#Female_Lappy_486|Female Lappy]] with [[Fangs|fangs]] in the explosion could be a reference to the ghosts of the [[Tandy 400]] and [[Compy 386]], as seen in the end of [[retirement]].
**The fanged Lappy itself appeared previously in [[SBCG4AP]], when you [[DELETED]] an email.
*Strong Bad imitating an echo when he reads "Dear Strong Bad," is reminiscent of the beginning of [[redesign]], in which Strong Bad's voice actually echoed as he read those words. (redesign had been released after an extensive hiatus between Strong Bad Emails.)

'''SO AND SO:''' Oh.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Oh.

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' So I figure we'll teleport into the prom to make a really grand entrance. ''{begins to flicker on the last three words}'' Anybody know where I can get some endurium? ''{flickers again on the last word}''

''{Cut to a view of Japanese Culture Greg standing at a distance from the other three Gregs with a shiny-looking girl.}''

'''JAPANESE CULTURE GREG:''' Come on Chizuko ''{his head appears animeish on the last word}'', we're too cool for the prom anyway.

'''CHIZUKO:''' ''{exaggeratedly moves her arms and legs whilst speaking, her speech bubble is rectangular}'' Welcome, American investor, to 2005 Consumer Robotics Show!

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' You'd think I'd be into life-size, realistic robots ''{cut to close-up of Sci-Fi Greg}'', but that thing makes me wanna barf up my earlier energy drink into the one I'm currently drinking. ''{holds up a can of energy drink labeled "Greg Fuel"}''

''{Cut to Japanese Culture Greg and Chizuko; Chizuko shoots ray out of her eyes at Japanese Culture Greg, whose limbs begin to detach from his body}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' UNCANNY VALLEY'D!

'''JAPANESE CULTURE GREG:''' THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE!

''{Cut back to the four girls, again drawn on regular loose leaf. The Teen Girl Squad theme resumes.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' That's right, I just grot asked to the prom ''{shows a photograph}'' by Cheerleader Brian! ''{on the last two words, cut to closeup of a picture of Cheerleader Brian}''

''{Cut back to the girls; So and So and What's Her Face look skeptical.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Isn't that like going to the prom with your dad?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' And we've all been there, right gals?

'''SO AND SO:''' Uh... so... ''{face changes to a goblin-like one. The music starts up again.}'' How much did everybody's dress cost?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{entering from the left and yelling and So and So, whose face has reverted to normal}'' MORE THAN YOURS!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{entering from the right and yelling at So and So before Cheerleader is finished}'' LESS THAN YOURS!

''{Cut back to the four girls with What's Her Face facing the others; Cheerleader and The Ugly One are still angry; So and So is kneeling on the ground between them.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Um, what is this... "dress" you speak of? Is a... food?

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' KRAKOW! ''{the word explodes into existence above What's Her Face's head}''

''{Cut to the right, where Arrow'd Guy appears out of cloud with rays beaming onto What's Her Face.}''

'''ARROW'D GUY:''' You will come into your own in college, and thrive!

'''SO-AND-SO:''' I can't believe we got a cardboard cutout of Tenerence Love to play our Junior Prom!

''{Cut to a scene of the prom which pans to the right as Tenerence Love sings. As the scene pans, Fatty's Big Chance, the Intercom, the Band Name Boys, the Color Guard Maiden embracing Tompkins, and the Short Girl scroll by, and the scene finally comes to rest on the cardboard cutout of Tenerence Love on a stage}''

'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' ''{singing throughout the scene above}'' Light purple cummerbund, you know you're my only one! Don't need no date to the prom, 'cause I got a light purple cummerbund on. ''{the cardboard cutout of Tenerence Love falls over}''

''{Cut to So and So standing to the right of Sci-Fi Greg, who is wearing a suit.}''

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' So, So and So, I'm so sorry Open Source Greg stood you up so. ''{in a separate, smaller speech bubble}'' Oh.

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{looking angry}'' Oh, he didn't. He just sent his avatar ''{cut to the right, where a feminine robot holding a pike and with the text "xxUBUNTUFAN91xx" above its head is standing}'' "in his stead".

'''OPEN SOURCE GREG:''' ''{voiceover}'' Here, let me help you with that corsage. ''{The text appears at the bottom of the screen, after "xxUBUNTUFAN91xx says:>", below So and So; the text lifts So and So slightly into the air}'' It doubles as a thumb drive. ''{this text appears, lifting So and So slightly higher}'' I make them myself! ''{this text appears and lifts So and So higher still}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' BETRAYAL! ''{the robot attacks So and So with the pike and splits her in two}''

''{Cut to D n' D Greg with The Ugly One, both of whom are dressed for the prom.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' DADGRASP! ''{The hand grasps D n' D Greg and pulls him to the left.}''

''{Cut to Manolios Ugly One standing to the left of D n' D Greg}''

'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' So okay, Romeo ''{pronounced "roh-MAY-oh"}''. You think you're so great? Captain of the basketball force? You lay one finger on my daughter, I gut you like sheep.

''{Cut to a scene of a sheep with a hole in its torso and visible entrails}''

'''GUTTED SHEEP:''' It's not so bad!

'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' No, I'm a joke. Gonna marry my little girl? ''{hanging from above}'' I gut you like sheep. ''{from the right}'' How much you make? ''{back on the left, a little lower than before}'' I gut you like sheep. ''{hanging from above and to the right}'' Got good knees? ''{in his original spot}'' I gut you like sheep. ''{from the lower right, a half of stereo appears to D n' D Greg's left}'' Half stereo, two seventy-five... ''{hanging from above}'' ...like sheep.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{still in the air, near the spinning disco ball}'' PUT ME DOWN! I'M OFF DUTY!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' PRETTY PRISM! ''{the disco ball shoots a ray of light at Cheerleader}''

''{Cut to Cheerleader Brian looking at Cheerleader's intact lower body and the charred remains of her upper body lying on the floor.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{jumping in from the right}'' Come on girls! Memories! Memories! ''{The previous two words appear in the speech bubble as she says them and move up and down, then disappear when she moves to the next sentence.}'' We gotta hurry up and get our pictures taken before...

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' IT'S OVER! ''{Cut to the "It's over" screen.}'' Chi-click!

''{The final scene fades in. The Ugly One is standing in the center of a room with balloons on either side and a banner reading "Priggidy Prizom 2009" across the room. Cheerleader's half-charred remains are to the left of The Ugly One, What's Her Face is sitting down with sparrows sticking into her on the right of The Ugly One. So and So's lower half is upside-down to the far left, her upper half is to the extreme right.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Clicking on the left balloons at the end plays a music video by Tenerence Love featuring Peacey P and Hiphop Man.
:'''TENERENCE LOVE:''' Light purple cummerbund, 
:: You know you're my only one! 
:: Don't need no date to the prom 
:: 'Cause I got a light purple cummerbund on

:'''PEACEY P:''' And we out! ''{spoken}'' Dudes, don't forget to take your tux back tomorrow before noon or they charge you like two hundred dollars or some'n. It's ridankalus.

*At the end, click on the right-hand set of balloons to see Tompkins stewing.
:''{Manolios is gutting D N' D Greg, as seen earlier in the toon, while The Ugly One looks on in surprise, in the background. Tompkins is in the foreground, scowling.}''
:'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' I gut you like sheep.
:'''D N' D GREG:''' Owww! Sheep! You lied!!
:'''TOMPKINS:''' Stupid 4 Gregs. There was a time when I woulda been massacred as one of those girls' prom date.
:''{The Tenerence Love cutout suddenly appears from behind him, shooting arrows from his mouth at Tompkins, whose body is skewered with them. Tompkins, however, has a huge grin on his face.}''
:'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TENERROW'D!!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Uncanny valley|Uncanny valley]] is a hypothesis that if a figure looks and acts almost like a human, but not quite, this causes much more revulsion than a more obviously inaccurate human figure. This is often applied to robots and other human analogs.
*A [[Wikipedia:Cummerbund|cummerbund]] is a sash worn around the waist as part of a tuxedo or other formal suit.
*A prism is a three dimensional object with rectangular faces and two congruent bases. When light is beamed directly into a prism, it creates a rainbow, not a laser as evidenced in this toon.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time that any of [[The Gregs]] are killed off, let alone two of them.
*This is the first time one of Arrow'd Guy's attacks has actually been in a speech bubble, rather than announced by Narrator Strong Bad.
*Thus far The Ugly One has been the sole survivor on three separate occasions, more than any other Teen Girl.
*This episode breaks the chain of clicking the "o" in "it's over!" to find an easter egg.

===Remarks===
*Though What's Her Face doesn't seem to know what a dress is, she was seen wearing one as a much younger girl in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*Cheerleader says she is "off duty" when Cheerleader Brian lifts her in the air, but in [[4 Gregs]], she comments that she is more of a cheerleader in the way she dresses and the way she treats other girls.
*There is no such thing as a remainder repeating, because the remainder is the value left over when dividing. For example: 5/2=2 remainder 1. Rather, Tenerence is referring to a repeating decimal (example: 10/3=3.3333...).
*What's Her Face was dead before the prom started, yet her body was in the picture. The only way this makes sense is if another girl dragged her corpse to the dance.
*Tompkins is "Tenerrow'd" with ten arrows, a possible play on words.
*When D n' D Greg is gutted by Mr. 'Gly One, the background music is paused. However, in the Easter Egg where Tompkins views the attack from afar, the music is playing.

===Goofs===
*The rounded, black border is not present during the "Loading" frames.
*In the Peacey P Easter egg, "cardboard" is misspelled as "carboard". However, as he has been known to omit letters in his speech, this may be intentional.
*After The Ugly One says "We've all been there, right gals?" the words 'lil' snot' disappear from Cheerleader's shirt until What's Her Face says "What is this 'dress' you speak of?"

===Fixed Goofs===
*On the toons menu, it initially said that this toon was made in 2008. It was fixed the next week, after [[79 Seconds Left]] was released.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad previously mentioned the "[[cloughb]]" in [[disconnected]] and [[nightlife]].
*The scene with The Gregs getting ready for the prom shifts to hexagonal paper, first seen in [[4 Gregs]], along with the music.
*There is a total of three instances of [['d]] in this toon.
**What's Her Face referring to the Arrow'd Guy's "sparrow'd" attack as "a new twist on an old classic" harkens back to his "arrow'd" attack from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Tenerence Love and Peacey P previously did a crossover record in [[Rap Song]].

'''Page Title:''' Exempt Those Exams!

==Transcript==
'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader! ''{most likely to!}'' So and So! ''{more than likely to succeed!}'' What's Her Face! ''{least likely to care}'' The Ugly One! ''{like, mostly to secede?}''

''{Open to Cheerleader standing with What's Her Face and So and So.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Oh boy, girls... Boys!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Uh, what about them?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nothing really. I just like to say the word.

''{Cut to close up of Cheerleader.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{makes a weird face}'' Boys.

''{Cut back to everyone. The Ugly One walks in with a "YEAR BOOK".}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Last day of school, my better looking sistas! And that means it's YEARBOOK DA--''(gets cut off before last syllable)''

''{Quick cut to the girls fighting inside a cloud of dust.}''

'''ALL:''' LEMME SEE MY PICTURE! LEMME SEE MY PICTURE!

''{Cut to Cheerleader with a frown pulling the book out of the pile. The cover of the book now reads, "The AWKWARDIAN '08".}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Gimme that jank. ''{pile disappears}'' Here I am, right between Cheerladder and Cheerlubber. Ugh. I look terrible.

''{Close-up of the yearbook, showing Cheerladder (a ladder with a face, holding a "G'backs" megaphone), Cheerleader with a fangs and a dead bird stuck to her face, and Cheerlubber, a whale with pom-poms, a pirate hat and an eye-patch}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{off screen}'' I can't believe they scheduled school pictures for the same day as tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day. That finch was hard to kill.

''{Cut to So and So, holding up her hand.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Before I can dabble in any yearbookery... ''{moves her hand to her chest}'' I have some final exams to ACE!! ''{raises her hand again, looking determined}'' Scantron armor... ''{flies into the air}'' ASSEMBLE!!

''{So and So stands in her Scantron armor. Science Fiction Greg looks on, reading a comic.}''

'''SCIENCE FICTION GREG:''' Ugh. ''{cut to close-up, showing he is holding a Scantron comic}'' That design looks nothing like the comic books. Doesn't canon mean anything to these people?

''{Cut to So and So in her Scantron armor, sitting at a desk next to a teacher holding a test.}''

'''MRS. FRILLSNECK:''' Here's your final exam class... it's a ditto.

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{looking distraught}'' A DITTO?! But Mrs. Frillsneck, I studied for a standardized test!

''{Cut to Scantron against a background of lines.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Scantron vs MimeogWrath!

''{"vs" and the "mimeogWrath" appear; it is a six-eyed monstrous piece of paper with tentacles, horns and legs. Its eyes, mouth and "Final Exam Ditto" are drawn in purple.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{as Scantron, running with a pencil}'' DIXON TICONDEROGA LAZER BLADE ATTACK!

''{The pencil hits the MimeogWrath, which closes its eyes, then starts "waving" one of its tentacles.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' HYPER TURBO FILL IN THE BLANK BARRAGE!!

''{Scantron is blown apart, the head and limbs coming apart in the explosion.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{as Scantron}'' AHH! My secret weakness!!

''{Cut to Cheerleader, The Ugly One and What's Her Face in the gym. All three wear singlets and shorts; both The Ugly One's and What's Her Face's are clearly dirty.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I can't believe we have to dress out for our P.E. exam. I'm so tired of washing this uniform every day. ''{crosses her hands}''

''{The music stops.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{evasively, making a face}'' Yes... washing... them... ever

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{pointing as she completes the sentence}'' —ryday!

''{Coach appears to the left, holding a stopwatch. The music starts again.}''

'''COACH:''' Okie dokie ladygals. Your physical education final exam consists of me not making any misinterpreted remarks about the length of your shorts ''{holds out the stopwatch}'' and you doing a single push-up.

'''CHEERLEADER, THE UGLY ONE & WHAT'S HER FACE:''' NO!!!

'''COACH:''' ''{shaken, holding up his hands}'' Hey great work! You all get A's!!

''{Close up of Cheerleader, looking annoyed. Her singlet reads "Growlback's Phys. Ed."}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Thank groodness. ''{smiles, pointing up}'' Sweating is against several of my religions!

''{A boy crashes a cart into Cheerleader, apparently killing her; towels and gym kit fall from the cart.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TOWEL BOY'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' Hey!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically; his words do not appear}'' Oh, excuse me. ''{the previous words are replaced}'' TEAM MANAGER'D!!

'''TEAM MANAGER:''' ''{smiles, and holds up a card as he speaks}'' Stats!

''{Cut to What's Her Face facing several lockers.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I'll go ahead and clean out my locker I 'spooooooooose. ''{the o's move up, then down as she speaks}''

''{What's Her Face throws objects out from her locker as she speaks.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Old papers... ''{throws papers}'' old pencils... ''{throws pencils}'' old person... ''{throws Mr. Pitters}''

'''MR. PITTERS:''' ''{hurriedly}'' I left a check for last month's rent on the table!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' ''{waving}'' See you in September! ''{puts her hand back in her locker}'' Ooh. Whats this?

''{What's Her Face is eaten by a giant cake with fangs and limbs.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' REVENGE OF THE CROSS COUNTRY BOOSTER CLUB BAKESALE!!

'''EVIL CAKE:''' ''{holding up one of its hands}'' Tastes like 9 minute miles!

''{Cut to The Ugly One reading the yearbook.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can't believe I was voted most prettiest.

''{Cut to a wider shot, showing three seniors laughing and pointing. One wears a baseball cap with a "G". The Ugly One looks upset.}''

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Heh heh senior prank.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset}'' Oooooh.

'''SECOND SENIOR:''' Naw really. You wanna be my girlfriend?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, raising her arm}'' I'd love to!

'''SENIORS:''' Heh heh heh senior prank, senior prank. Senior prank, heh.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{upset again}'' Oooooh.

'''THIRD SENIOR:''' ''{holding up a ring}'' Want this diamond ring?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{reaching for it}'' Of course!

'''SENIORS:''' Senior prank heh heh heh.

''{The Ugly One is upset again, but then three trash cans are thrown over the seniors, and she smiles.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' COME UPPENCE!

'''SENIORS:''' Something got dumped on us! We'll never live it down! Our reputations are ruined!

''{Music starts, and Quarterback walks in.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{happily, throwing the yearbook away}'' Quarterman!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' Ugly One, all this time I was looking around, and you weren't right there in front of me. ''{close up}'' But I realized—when I was looking around—that you were right there in front of me—all this time—Ugly One.

''{Cut back to both of them.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{wiggling both her arms}'' That makes so much sense!!

'''QUARTERBACK:''' ''{offering his arm}'' Will you accompany me to the end credits?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' ''{putting her arm in his, and still wiggling her other arm}'' I'd love to!!

''{The end credits roll, first showing "It's over!", then The Ugly One and Quarterback in a parking lot, then the seniors with trash cans on their heads, and "It's over" again.}''

<blockquote>Directed by Strong Bad 
Special Scantron FX oversawed by Bubs 
"It's over" performed by Tite Rolled</blockquote>

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over the end credits}'' It's over! And you're walking into a parking lot with the hot guy. It's over! And they all make fun of you, but they got stuff dumped on top of them. ''{music stops}'' IT'S OVER!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Scantron.png|thumb|...not even Science Fiction Greg.]]
*At the end, click on the "o" to see issue 87 of "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It features [[Strong_Badman_Characters#Scantron|Scantron]] with a word bubble reading "I need your help, Strong Badman! My comic book's not selling well!" Text at the bottom of the cover reads "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A "senior prank" is usually a schoolwide prank done by multiple seniors in celebration of their upcoming graduation.
*Science Fiction Greg's remarks that So and So's Scantron armor "looks nothing like the comic books" parodies fan complaints of superhero movies that differ in some way from their comic book counterparts.
*[[Wikipedia:Canon (fiction)|Canon]] refers to a collection of fictional events that create a ficticious universe, such as the Marvel Universe or the Star Wars galaxy. Some fan communities take canon very seriously and try to fit every piece of fiction about said universe seamlessly together, although contradictions and loopholes are common.
*[[Wikipedia:Scantron|Scantrons]] are a type of fill-in-the-bubble test sheet that are commonly used in high schools and middle schools.
*MimeogWrath refers to the [[Wikipedia:Mimeograph machine|Mimeograph]], a technology commonly used to reproduce classroom materials.
*[[Wikipedia: Dixon Ticonderoga|Dixon Ticonderoga]] is a brand of [[Wikipedia: pencil|pencil]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Standardized test|standardized test]] is a test administered and scored in a consistent manner.
*The text in the Easter egg refers to many comic book crossovers that involve many characters from different franchises working together or against one another as a cash grab for comic book sellers.
*A "comeuppance" is an outcome (good or bad) that is well deserved.

===Remarks===
*Cheerleader remarks that school pictures were scheduled on "tape-a-dead-thing-to-your-face day", but Cheerladder and Cheerlubber did not have anything taped to their faces.
*This is the second Teen Girl Squad in a row in which What's her face "'spose's" she'll do something.
*Cheerleader's gym shirt has "Growlback's Phys. Ed." written on it. Given that the team is called the "Growlbacks", the apostrophe should be after the S if it's referring to the team.
*The Strong Badman comic is labeled as the 87th issue, even though there already was an [[:Image:EnterTooSoonMan.png|issue 87]] featuring "Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man".
*When So and So puts on the "armor", the number 2 pencil goes on her [[Left handedness|left hand]].
**However, during her battle with MimeogWrath, she holds the pencil in her right hand.
*Quarterback asking The Ugly One to accompany him to the end credits is an example of a [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth wall break]].
*So and So refuses to "dabble in any yearbookery" until she finishes her final exams, but she appears to dive for The Ugly One's yearbook along with the others.

===Goofs===
*The rounded, black border is not present during the "Loading" frames.
*At the end, clicking on "again" simply repeats the final credits rather than the entire cartoon.
*There is a slight difference in spacing in the text "DIXON TICONDEROGA LAZER" before and after the word "BLADE" appears.
*Right before the credits move up, they start to move down for a single frame.
*"Come uppence" is correctly spelled comeuppance.
*"MimeogWrath" refers to a copy created by a [[Wikipedia:Mimeograph_machine|Mimeograph]] machine, but the paper was created by a "[[Wikipedia:Spirit_duplicator|Ditto]]" machine (as stated by the teacher and printed on the paper itself). The two machines create copies by entirely different processes but are often [[Wikipedia:Spirit_duplicator#Smell|confused]].

===Inside References===
*Cheerleader is wearing a "Fighting Growlbacks" T-shirt during her gym final. As well, Cheerladder is holding a megaphone displaying the word "G'backs" in the yearbook photo. The Growlbacks were first mentioned as the school's mascot in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
**"Thank groodness" is the reappearance of an older [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of "great" and "good" from the same issue.
*The third Senior has a "[[G]]" on his cap.
*Cheerleader has [[fangs]] in her yearbook photo.
*Cheerlubber has an [[eyepatch]].
*The finch taped on Cheerleader's face is another instance of [[Birds (Teen Girl Squad)|birds]].
*A [[cake]] attacks What's Her Face.

===Real-World References===
*So and So's transformation into "Scantron" (as well as her saying "And I'll form the head!") is reminiscent of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Quarterback's speech refers to "What I've Been Looking For" from the [[Disney]] television film ''[[Wikipedia:High School Musical|High School Musical]]''.
*Strong Bad's line about the parking lot is a reference to the ending of ''[[Wikipedia:The Breakfast Club|The Breakfast Club]]''.
*The name of the end credit song performer (Tite Rolled) is a reference to a clothing trend called 'Tight Rolling' which was popular during the late '80s - early '90s. It consisted of rolling the bottom of jeans and cuffing them up to make a tight roll that shortens the jeans and shows off fancy high-top shoes that would not have been seen otherwise.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia:Phencyclidine|PCP]], also known as angel dust, is a recreational [[drug]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Perfume|Eau de Toilette]]'' is [[French]] for a light, low concentrate perfume. "Toilet(te)" is used in an obsolete sense in both English and French to refer to personal grooming, similar to "toiletry".
*APB stands for [[Wikipedia:all points bulletin|all points bulletin]], a broadcast issued from one law enforcement agency to another, typically containing information about a wanted suspect.
*A [[Wikipedia:Bayonet|Bayonet]] is a knife or dagger-like weapon that fits over the end of the barrel of a gun.
*The [[Wikipedia:SAT|SAT Reasoning Test]] is a test that is frequently taken prior to entry into college in the United States.
**Timkins's line "Goo goo is ga-ga. Wah wah is ga-ga. Are all goo goos wah wahs?" is a [[Wikipedia:Syllogism|syllogism]] of the form "All X are Y. All Z are Y. Are all X Z?" (the correct answer is "not necessarily"). Syllogisms have never been used on the SAT, but are staples of [[Wikipedia:IQ test|IQ tests]].
*"The PoPo" was a slang term in the '80s and '90s used to describe the police.
*A "nickel" is slang for a five-year prison sentence.
*Olympic Man's jersey is blurred because logos, trademarked designs, and certain words on clothing are often obscured by the producers of visual media (usually television or music videos) when they don't want the logos, designs, or words visible in the final product.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneous with last sentence}'' Change cha— we must be on the wro— our TiVo messed up and recorded the wrong channel.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs, pauses until Tompkins laughs}'' We should make a game on the website where you try and overfeed your virtual pet.

''{Mike laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Remember the Robotic Stooges?

'''MATT:''' I do. Tompkins' mom reminds me of a Robotic Stooge. ''{pause}'' She gone!

'''MIKE:''' Wasn't it called— weren't they called the Robomic Stooges, though?

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' I think they were called the Robonic Stooges.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' For some reas—

'''MATT:''' Why?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Somebody—

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to Wikipedia that.

'''MATT:''' Ahh, the PS1.

'''MIKE:''' I was just thinking we need to get some PS1 games.

'''MATT:''' Probably.

'''MIKE:''' Crash Bandicoot Team Racing.

'''MATT:''' Battle Arena Toshinden.

''{Mike laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' I, uh— I think I babysat ''once''.

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' The Teddy Ruxpin was messed up and I had to fix— you know, figure out how to fix it 'cause the kid was bawling.

'''MATT:''' Nice. Did you put, like, AC/DC in there, like, instead of his tape?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt's comment}'' Yeah. The tape.

'''MATT:''' So, it'd, like—

'''MIKE:''' Backwards Satan.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so it'd cause him to flame.

''{Mike and Ryan laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh, Randy— Randy Buttcrack! ''{Mike laughs}'' He's talking on a— He's talking on a plunger, Ryan.

'''RYAN:''' With a cord.

'''MATT:''' Wow. Oh, here he is. Here's the man. ''{pause}'' Umm.. how about how in every hip-hop video there's some— some—

'''MIKE:''' Blurred out logo.

'''MATT:''' —some dude that just wore a Nike shirt. And it's just like—

'''MIKE:''' "What's up, man!?"

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "I told you, man! Just don't show up in a stupid Nike shirt, please! I told you we were filming a video, and you still wore your Nike shirt." The best part is when it's, like, the dude— the main guy— the main rapper—

'''RYAN:''' Snoop Dogg.

'''MATT:''' —couldn't be troubled to... change his shirt.

'''RYAN:''' I remember if you watched 'em on BET you could see the pot leaf on the, uh... the... Dr. Dre...

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Ryan}'' On the... "Ain't Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang"?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.
