'''Date:''' Tuesday, September 28, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 4:56

'''Page Title:''' Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

== Transcript ==
''{Open to "Cheat Commandos Now Returns..." title. Danger music, then theme music is heard.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' We now return to Cheat Commandos.

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos headquarters. A large inflatable Cheat Commando with a "SALE!" banner sits on the roof. A title which reads "'SHOPPING FOR DANGER' written by A. Chimendez" appears. Cut to inside headquarters where Gunhaver is talking to Fightgar, Silent Rip, and Crackotage. A portrait of Gunhaver hangs on the wall.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So then I grabbed the Blue Laser by his collar and said, ''{vibrating voice}'' "You betta break yourself!"

''{Fightgar, Silent Rip, and Crackotage laugh. Pan left to reveal Reynold standing behind Fightgar, et al.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Ha ha, yeah. ''{All turn to face him, Crackotage and Fightgar appear annoyed.}'' That's like how I labeled and alphabetized all you guys' combat accessories—

''{Cut to wall where Flashfight's Flashlight, Foxface's Bulletproof Handbag, Gunhaver's Gun, Reinforcement's  [[Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket]], and Silent Rip's Loud Noise Silencer (which appears to be an ordinary pillow) hang, in alphabetical order.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' —so it'll save on valuable mission time. ''{Cut back to group.}'' Kicka click-click, booyah! ''{Reynold pumps his arm.}''

'''ALL except REYNOLD:''' ''{collective groan}''

''{A siren begins to sound and a pulsating red light fills the room. The Cheat Commandos look around in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' It's a Blue Las-alert!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Bring it up on screen.

''{Gunhaver points off-screen. Cut to "THE SCREEN", which says "Blue Las-alert; hit enter for details". Silent Rip presses a key and an image labeled "file photo" of Blue Laser Commander and a Blue Laser minion at a grocery store appears on the screen.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Blue Laser's been spotted at a local grocery store on double coupon day!

'''GUNHAVER:''' With the money Blue Laser could potentially save from those double coupons they could buy all kinds of super weapons that, like, ''{scratches head}'' turn babies into gold, or... ''{scratches head again}'' screw with the weather! Cheat Commandos... time to rock, rock on! ''{zoom in on Gunhaver and cue theme music}''

''{Cut to room with Gunhaver portrait where Fightgar and Crackotage are leaving.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Can I come, too?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{laughs}'' Good one, Reynold-a!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' You can't shoot, and you can't fly. If you came with us, you'd probably die! Hee hee ha ha!

''{Fightgar and Crackotage exit.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{whining}'' Aw, I never get to go on any missions! I would be a good mission... guy. ''{slumps down sadly}''

''{Cut to a strip mall parking lot, daytime. A large blue tank with the Blue Laser logo on the side is double-parked in front of Price Style and Hausgood. The Cheat Commandos are seen from behind, marching up in silhouette. Cut to a hill behind which Gunhaver, Fightgar, Silent Rip, Crackotage, and Firebert are crouched. Gunhaver peers through a pair of binoculars with reflections of the tank in the lenses.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' It looks like Blue Laser's going to take advantage of Price Style's already low, low prices on paper towels and grout cleaner and use all the savings to make a button that will make it snow at the beach! ''{The other Commandos gasp in surprise.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' But, sir! What about beach volleyball?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There won't ''be'' ''{turns and shakes his fist at Silent Rip}'' any more beach volleyball! ''{all gasp, danger music plays}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Fightgar, use one of your awesome ''dis''guises to do a little ''{uses quote fingers}'' "undercover work".

''{Zoom in on Fightgar, who turns "chicken yellow".}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{groans}'' Gulp!

''{Cut back to headquarters where Reynold stands in front of a mirror wearing an outfit that looks just like Gunhaver's. The sleeves are too long.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Step off, Blue Laser! Get your hands off those diskettes and fiscal reports! Don't make me use this gun that I have. ''{points with sleeve}'' Reynold's Commandos, let's rock 'n' roll! ''{shakes arms}''

''{Cut to Price Style interior, Aisle 6. Pan down to reveal Blue Laser Commander, who holds three rolls of "WIPE!" brand paper towels, and one of his minions.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What happened to our buggy?!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' That other guy that looks just like me is using it to help some old lady do her shopping, sir.

'''COMMANDER:''' Old ladies ''SUCK!''

''{Cut to another minion and Fightgar wearing an old lady disguise which consists of a gray wig and a pair of green spectacles.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' ''{points at shelf}'' 'Ere, could you reach that tub of Old Lady Rub for me, young man? 'Cause I'm an old lady.

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' I never doubted that you were a lady, sir... ma'am.

''{Enter Blue Laser Commander and Minion 1.}''

'''COMMANDER:''' All right, grandma, make it quick.

'''FIGHTGAR:''' I was just wonderin' if you kind sonnies knew anything about makin' it snow at the beach?

'''COMMANDER:''' No, but I know how to end awkward conversations with the elderly! ''{to Minion 1}'' Let's go check out.

''{Blue Laser Commander and his minions exit. Fightgar removes his spectacles and holds a small blue box with an antenna that is attached to his wrist up to his mouth. Cut to Gunhaver outside, who holds a larger blue box with an antenna and screen. Fightgar is on the screen.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Blue Laser's makin' his move.

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right, Cheat Commandos, let's move! ''{to Crackotage}'' Fire the new grappling hook zip line!

''{Cut to Crackotage holding a large gun with a grappling hook at the end of the barrel. He fires and a rope begins spooling out of the gun. A tone sounds and the "Cheap As Free" logo appears in the corner. Cut to the tank in the parking lot where the rope wraps itself around the barrel of its gun. On the hill, Crackotage and Silent Rip descend the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{to Firebert}'' Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name.

''{Firebert looks sad and makes a [[The Cheat]]-like sigh. Gunhaver descends the zip line.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Whee!

''{Cut to headquarters, where Reynold is still dressed as Gunhaver. He has put his glasses on the head of an upturned mop in a bucket and stands next to Reinforcements's Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{to mop}'' Why, yes, Foxface, I'd love to take you out on a classy date. But first I need to save the world from Blue Laser using my very own Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Reynold Rocket.

''{Reynold straps the Rocket Backpack on his back. He falls backwards onto the Backpack.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Whoa! ''{Green lights appear on the backpack and it begins to shake and whir, making "powering up" sounds and expelling smoke.}'' Oh my land, I can't see this ending well.

''{Cut to Price Style interior where Blue Laser Commander and two minions stand at the checkout with their shopping cart.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Oh, crap! I forgot my Price Style Plus Card!

''{Glass shatters and Gunhaver and Crackotage leap to the ground in front of Blue Laser Commander. Silent Rip falls behind a checkout lane several aisles away and doesn't get up.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Not so fast, Blue Laser!

'''COMMANDER:''' Ugh! I'm so sick of you people!

''{Silent Rip stands up and peeks out from behind the checkout lane.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' The express lane is for ten items or less. You've got two too many!

'''COMMANDER:''' Those are the twins!

''{Cut to a shopping cart with three rolls of WIPE! towels and two baby Blue Laser members, both with eye patches.}

'''BLUE LASER BABY 1:''' Ooo-waa.

'''BLUE LASER BABY 2:''' Ooo-weh.

''{Cut to Silent Rip, whose wrist communicator is beeping.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Sir! Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset is under attack!

'''GUNHAVER:''' We've been had, boys! This grocery store crap was just a diversion!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{rhyming}'' Back to base we're gonna head and make sure Reynold isn't dead! ''{laughs}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{as it wipes to the Headquarters}'' Wheee!

''{Cut to Cheat Commandos Headquarters. There is a large hole in one wall with smoke streaming out of it and another unseen area. Cut to interior. Reynold is lying on his back atop the Rocket Backpack. His face is scorched as is a circle on the floor surrounding him, and he has lost his Gunhaver hat. There is large hole in the wall and some rubble litters the ground. Gunhaver enters.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Reynold, are you all right?! What happened here? Nice jacket!

'''REYNOLD:''' Oh, Gunhaver, it's all my fault. I was upset that you never let me go on any missions so I tried on Reinforcements's Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket—

'''GUNHAVER:''' —so you could defend our base from Blue Laser! Gah! Good work, soldier! It's not your fault they got away!

'''REYNOLD:''' What?

''{Cut to view of Gunhaver from above. He has his arm raised to the sky.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Next episode, Blue Laser! Next episooooode!

''{Fade to black. "Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!!" appears on the screen and is sung to music. Cut to a bathroom where a Blue Laser minion is standing in the bathtub, scrubbing the tile wall with a green sponge. Enter Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' The grout cleaner is working, sir.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Fan-freaking-tastic! At last we'll have the edge we need to crush the Cheat Commandos!! ''{Pan to show a computer screen which reads "Reason for not crushing Cheat Commandos". In large red blinking letters "MILDEW!!" appears. Danger music plays}''

''{Fade to "THE END."}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end of the film, click on '''The End.''' to see an extra scene in the grocery store and what happened to the Blue Laser Babies.
:''{Cut to Price Style interior.}''
:'''VOICE:''' ''{over intercom}'' I need a price check on two babies. Price check on two babies.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first time we see the Cheat Commandos HQ playset.
*The letters JRBRR are inscribed on the side of the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket.
*If you zoom in on the silhouettes of The Cheat Commandos returning to the Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset, you can see that they are all actually just tiny silhouettes of Gunhaver.
*Aisle six in the grocery store includes paper towels, soda types, bendy stuff, a cracker, grout clean'r, gym bags, green bottles, and blue bottles.
*As [[Matt Chapman]] said in the DVD commentary, the Blue Laser Babies are voiced by [[Mike Chapman]].

=== Remarks ===
*In the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, [[Strong Bad]] uses a deep voice to do an impression of Reynold. However in this cartoon, Reynold has a high-pitched voice.
**Strong Bad also made Firebert speak English, even though he only speaks The Cheat in this toon.
*When we see Reynold without his glasses, his eyes do not point in the same direction. This condition is known as [[Wikipedia:Strabismus|Strabismus]].
*The song that plays in the shopping mart Easter egg is the Cheat Commandos theme toned down and rendered in a [[Wikipedia:Muzak|Muzak]]-like style.
*There were five Cheat Commando members who went on the mission. When we see the Cheat Commandos returning to their headquarters, only four returned. Either Fightgar or Firebert was left behind.
**It was most likely Firebert, since he was left behind at the grocery store to think of a better commando name.
*When Reynold says "Don't make me use this gun that I have!" he is pretending to be Gunhaver. In the Easter egg of the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, it says on Gunhaver's box "has a gun!" This also explains the pronuncation of Gunhaver's name as "gun have-er".
*At the end, a Blue Laser minion is using grout cleaner. "GROUT CLEAN'R" is one of the items displayed on the sign above the aisle in the grocery store.
*Gunhaver's exclamation that he will get [[Blue Laser]], "NEXT EPISODE!!!" is another example of [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaking the fourth wall]].
*When the Cheat Commandos arrive at Price Style, the Price Style sign on the storefront should have read PRICE STYLE, but instead read PRiCE STYLE, an example of [[lowercase i's]].
*Blue Las-alert is a [[portmanteau]].
*As in [[Let us give TANKS!]], there are indications that Gunhaver's mind is unbalanced with regard to Blue Laser; he seems to be reaching rather far for an evil plan to attribute to them, and his exclamation of "Next episode, Blue Laser, next episooooode!" is a line generally reserved for villains, not heroes, in Saturday morning cartoons.

=== Goofs ===
[[Image:blue laser missing arm.PNG|thumb|right|Let's go lose our arms!]]
*In the File Photo of Blue Laser Commander, his arm patches are blue, not red like they normally are.
*When it zooms to the combat equipment, Reinforcements's Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket is misspelled "Reinforcement's".
*When Blue Laser leaves the shopping aisle to check out, the minion on the bottom-right hand corner is missing his arm.

=== Inside References ===
*The line "Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name" is a reference to the email "[[army]]". In that email, Strong Bad tells [[The Cheat]] that Firebert is not a good commando name. In addition, the package for Firebert's action figure (seen in "army" and [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos Commercial]]) notes that his is "Not a good commando name!"
*The episode "Shopping For Danger" is written by [[A. Chimendez]].
*Fightgar asking for "Old Lady Rub" is a reference to [[Peasant's Quest]], in which the innkeeper has a cabinet full of [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|Old Man Rub]].
*The Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket makes the same sound as when [[Stinkoman]] does a [[Double Deuce]], combined with the mechanical sound effect of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s cap in the email "[[car]]".
*The gun used to fire the grappling hook is taken from the Cheat Commandos Commercial.
*The cheap as free logo appears.

=== Real-World References ===
*Gunhaver's mention of Blue Laser buying a machine that would screw with the weather is an obvious reference to a [[imdb:tt0086719|G.I. Joe]] mini-series, ''[http://www.joeheadquarters.com/joeii.shtml The Revenge Of Cobra]'', in which G.I. Joe and [[Wikipedia:COBRA Organization|Cobra]] battle over a machine, the Weather Dominator, which can be used to control the weather.
*Blue Laser uses the Southern American English word "[[Wikipedia:buggy|buggy]]" to refer to a shopping cart.
*Reynold trying on the Justice Rocket Backpack may be a nod to ''[[imdb:tt0097428|Ghostbusters II]]'', when geeky Louis Tully wished to be a [[Wikipedia:Ghostbuster|Ghostbuster]] and put on the [[Wikipedia:Proton pack|proton pack]].
*When Gunhaver shouts to the sky at the end of the cartoon, it may be a reference to the old ''[[Wikipedia:Inspector Gadget|Inspector Gadget]]'' cartoon in which the main villain [[Wikipedia:Dr. Claw|Dr. Claw]] would always shout, "I'll get you next time, Gadget... next time..." at the end of each episode.
*The "Blue Las-Alert" may be a reference to the "Trouble Alert" on [[Wikipedia:Super Friends|Super Friends]], which was sometimes compressed into one phrase ("Trouble-Alert" or "Troublealert"). The "BWEOOO!" sound comes from the first level of the Nintendo Entertainment System Game [[Wikipedia:Contra (video game)|Contra]], where Red Falcon's base raises an alarm as the player draws near.
*Gunhaver has a [[Wikipedia:Colt's Manufacturing Company|Colt]] .45 1911 Automatic.
*The paper towels that Blue Laser is shown buying greatly resemble the older version of the [[Wikipedia:Bounty (paper towel)|Bounty Paper Towels]].
*The "HAUSGOOD" store located next to Price Style is a reference to real-world home furnishings store [[Wikipedia:HomeGoods|HomeGoods]].

=== Fast Forward ===
* The Blue Las-alert klaxon would also be used by the King of Town's "Eat a Lot of Food Alarm" in [[winter pool]].
* The Cheat Commandos would play beach volleyball against Blue Laser in [[An Important Rap Song]].
* This toon currently has the longest page title on the website, despite [[Strongest Man in the World]]'s claim to the contrary.
* Reynold's complaint of being left behind on missions would reach sympathetic ears during [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]].

== DVD Version ==
*A glitch occurs at the end. When the danger music stops, 3 seconds of the Price Style Easter egg play.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Peter Olsen]], [[Ryan Sterrit]])

'''MATT:''' Hey, we're joined here in the conversation-type booth with Peter Olsen from Y-O-U!

'''PETER:''' Hey.

'''MATT:''' ...who's collaborated with us on many occasions.

'''PETER:''' Collaborations.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''PETER:''' Many times.

'''MATT:''' He said that, uh, the Cheat Commandos were his favorite thing on the site, so he's joining us in the commentary for this.

'''PETER:''' I love the, uh, picture in the background.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''PETER:''' Your fifth-grade school photo.

'''MATT:''' There's a...

'''PETER:''' The lasers.

'''MATT:''' There's a picture of a couple of cousins of mine, when that was, when they were like babies, and that's the background, it's this "lasers" background.

'''PETER:''' ''{laughs}'' I have that from fifth grade. I had that actual background.

'''MATT:''' ''{Blue Las-alert in the background}'' Do you really? Nice.

''{Silent Rip says "It's a Blue Las-alert!"}''

'''MATT:''' ''{indicating the alert}'' That's really, like, me going "Waaah-ooh!"

'''MIKE:''' Hey, wait...

'''PETER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That's a good sound effect.

'''MIKE:''' Who's this guy?

'''MATT:''' We already... we already did that.

'''PETER:''' I've already been introduced.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''PETER:''' Welcome, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan, your girlfriend just called.

'''RYAN:''' Uh-oh. ''{pause}'' Am I in trouble?

'''MATT:''' So, Peter, we— do you remember this thing from the old GI Joe cartoons, where, like, just mysteriously, the good guys and bad guys just have hidden cameras all over the other person's base and world...

'''PETER:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' ...and, like, they know what each other is doing and they know they can't stop them...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' They can't infiltrate...

'''PETER:''' Hang a black jacket over the cameras...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah...

'''PETER:''' "Maybe, if we put this thing over GI Joe's hidden cameras in our base, they wouldn't know what we were up to."

'''MIKE:''' You guys remember that laser, uh, backg-

'''PETER:''' ''{interrupting}'' We've already had that conversation.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you came late.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' What do you think they sell at "Hausgood" ''{pronounces "House good"}'', Peter?

'''PETER:''' ''{short pause}'' Good houses?

'''MIKE:''' German ones, obviously.

'''PETER:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' I always envisioned that the shopping center being the one, uh, that the Wal-Mart in Dunwoody is in.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' The one on Ashford, Dunwoody Road?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' I never noticed that's not a full tree.

'''PETER:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Got hit by lightning.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Which is your favorite Cheat Commando, Peter?

'''PETER:''' Uh, the guy that rhymes. And he re- he- is that like Roadblock?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''PETER:''' Did Roadblock rhyme?

''{several people say "Yeah" in succession}''

'''MIKE:''' Crackotage. ''{pause}'' You know, we- I got to meet the uh, uh, voice of Roadblock. He was in our friend Craig's movie.

'''PETER:''' Oh, serious?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Kene, um, Kene Holliday. Kene Holliday.

'''PETER:''' Kenny G.

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' He was on ''Matlock,'' too.

'''PETER:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause, laughter presumably directed at the "WIPE!" towels}''

'''MIKE:''' Sorta bile name for paper towels... ''{laughter}'' ... a paper towel roll.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, 'cause you almost think those paper towels are not for the kitchen use.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' They're for desperate times.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like the, uh, shopping, uh, grocery store Muzak versus the Cheat Commandos theme.

'''MIKE:''' Like, in ''Raising Arizona,'' there was that graveyard thing, where they ''{unintelligible due to different voices talking at the same time}''

'''MATT:''' ''{imitates theme}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Did you, uh, collect G.I. Joes, action figures?

'''PETER:''' I did. I ''{invented?}'' G.I. Joes, and, I'm— one thing that I really got into was unscrewing them...

'''MATT:''' Right...

'''PETER:''' ...and, uh, changing the body parts...

'''MATT:''' Mixing and matching?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''PETER:''' Yeah, I also, uh, liked to put firecrack- you can stretch the rubber band, and a Black Cat fits perfect right in there...

'''MATT:''' ''{makes mini-explosion sound, pause}'' That's a cross-eyed Reynold...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughter}''

'''PETER:''' Bad vision.

'''MATT:''' I like that, somehow, Gunhaver's jacket is bigger for him, even though all the Cheat Commandos are exactly the same size.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Right. ''{pause, muffled}'' His hat's bigger too, isn't it?

'''MATT:''' This is not a very busy, uh, grocery store, you guys. ''{laughs}''

'''PETER:''' I always love the one that— the blue in the back, when he pops up right here.

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' So you remembered that.

'''PETER:''' It's a good stealth...

'''MIKE:''' It's Silent Rip! He's gotta be stealthy.

'''PETER:''' And he never comes to the action.

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''MATT:''' ''{indicating the twins}'' That's me, that's me, guys.

'''PETER:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' That was Mike who just said that, but that was me.

'''PETER:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh. What were you referring to—

'''PETER:''' You're always— you're always taking the spotlight.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, well... ''{pause}'' Here's your favorite guy! ''{indicating Crackotage, pause}'' He rhymed, Peter!

'''PETER:''' That was hilarious.

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' So that was Blaster, I feel like Blaster on the Transformers who's the good, Ghetto Blaster with the bad, Blaster ''{trails off}''

'''PETER:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' I feel like ''{He?}'' also, rhymed.

'''MIKE:''' I think that we changed that after the cartoon was up for 10 minutes...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we added "nice jacket."

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's like ''{imitating Gunhaver}'' "Reynold! Whoa! Nice jacket!"

'''MATT:''' Originally that wasn't there, but we thought of it right after...

'''MIKE:''' I think as we were watching it, Matt thought that line and went "Grah!" so we went ahead and added it.

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating the "Buy All Our Playsets..." theme}'' Dot-dot-dot-dot-dot-dot-dot-dot!

'''PETER:''' That was awesome.

'''MATT:''' Thanks. ''{pause}'' Oh, hey, it's not over yet!

'''MIKE:''' Keep talking! Yeah, say a few more things.

'''PETER:''' Um, we're probably gonna learn something here, this looks like the portion of the 'toon where ''{pause}'' there's some value...

'''MIKE:''' Ah... we learned that mildew is something you should take care of.

'''PETER:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' That's it.

''{Open to Old-Timey Marzipan with a plate of bones on the table}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' We haven't eaten in weeks.

''{The camera zooms out to reveal The Homestar Runner and Fat Dudley standing behind Old-Timey Marzipan.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Guess what I read in the news-papper today.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' I can't guess.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I read that a ghost.

''{Cut to a closeup of Old-Timey Marzipan. The screen flickers for a brief moment.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' You read that a ghost what?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{cut to closeup}'' I read that a ghost is.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' ''{cut to wide shot}'' You read that a ghost is what?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I read that a ghost is here in town and there's a 27 cent ree-ward for its capture.

'''FAT DUDLEY:''' ''{musical noises}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, Fat Duds. We sure could buy a lot of corn pone with 27 big ones.

''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad's Telescope. You can see the three characters in the telescope's reflection. The camera pans along the telescope to reveal that nobody is watching it on the other end. Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad, standing nearby reading a newspaper.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Says here in the news-papper that the encapturement of the new apparition garners a top reward of 26 and one pennies.

''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' We could buy the monocle off Rockefeller's very eyeball with that kind of cash!

'''STRONG MAN:''' Raaar!

''{The Sneak wiggles his nose}''

''{Danger music. Cut to The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley in front of a gate signed 'Pietimer'. A spooky house can be seen in the background.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's check out the old Pietimer place.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' We should split up.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We can do more damage that way.

''{They walk in. Cut to a closeup of Old-Timey Marzipan with a teacup on a table.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' ''{lifts the teacup}'' Under here?

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, who is looking at a bookshelf full of books with ghost-related titles, and one book titled 'A Goodtime Story'.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hmm. Let's see. Maybe it's in here.

''{He removes 'A Goodtime Story'. He opens the book with a POOF!, and a moth flies out.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just a moth. ''{He tries to eat the moth, but it flies away.}'' Dernit!

''{Cut to Old-Timey Marzipan looking under a plate.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' Under here? ''{Spiders run out.}''

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner walking past a set of portraits. The portrait on the left, marked "Mr. Pietimer", appears to be watching him.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That picturemadrawin' looks sur-spicious. ''{He lifts it off the wall, revealing two one-eyed crows with a label reading "The Guys".}'' It's just two weird one-eyed crows. Aw, phooey!

''{Cut to Fat Dudley amidst some barrels, holding a cigar and raising a jug marked 'XXX'. The Homestar Runner pops out of a barrel.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fat Dudley, were you gonna sneak a nip of hooch?

'''FAT DUDLEY:''' ''{musical noises}''

''{Cut to outside the house. The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley are standing inside the gate.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, there's no ghosts here. Just a bunch of gross aminals. Let's go look somewheres else.

''{Cut to Cholera Acres Cemetary, then to Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Sneak in front of a grave. The gravestone reads "Eustice Pietimer (skinflint and junk codger)".}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Listen smoothly, The Sneak. ''{The Sneak stands up on his hind legs.}'' We're certain to catch a ghost once we exhume this grave using my new grave-exhuming invention!

''{Cut to Strong Man holding a shovel.}''

'''STRONG MAN:''' Raaar!

''{Cut back to Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Sneak. The Sneak moves his nose.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' What what? Why, no! Of course that's not just the Strong Man holding a shovel. It's my newest invention! Besides, the Strong Man's over there doing some manner of stylish jig.

''{Cut to Strong Man, who is now tapping his foot on another grave in time to The Homestar Runner's dance music. The tombstone reads "Unmarked Grave (Son of Mark Grave)". Old-Timey Bubs's head comes up out of the grave.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS:''' Would you please keep it down?

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley in the Punkin Patch.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' The Homestar Runner, I'm ''{slowly and in an exaggerated manner}'' suh-suh-suh-suh-scared!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Scared of what? Punkins? They're just punkins.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' ''{in the same slow and exaggerated manner}'' But I'm suh-suh-suh-suh-''SUH''-scared!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, fine. We'll go look in the graveyard.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' ''{smiles}'' Hooray!

''{Cut back to Cholera Acres Cemetary. The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley enter and meet Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak, who have dug up the grave of Eustice Pietimer.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' You're too late! The reward will be ours! I'll be marching around in gold pants in no time!

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' Where's the ghost?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Behold! The fantoustic phantasm.

''{Sickly Sam rises out of the grave and floats above it.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's no ghost. That's just our worst friend Sickly Sam.

'''SICKLY SAM:''' I bury myself alive on Tuesdays.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Criminy crickets! Foiled again!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Then where's the real ghost?

''{A black-cloaked ghost with spindly arms fades in, floating above the tombstones and making a motorcycle-like noise.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyes bulging}'' Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. ''{Rather than screaming, he merely "says" his scream. His skin falls off, leaving his skeleton.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Wa-a-a-a-a-a! ''{Also "saying" his scream. His skin also falls off, leaving his skeleton.}''

''{Cut back to the ghost, which fades away, then to The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Marzipan (who has also turned into a skeleton.}''

'''SKELETAL OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' At least we'll never go hungry again.

'''SKELETAL THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cept for Fat Dudley. ''{Cut to skeletal Fat Dudley, who is 'eating' a shoe with a soup spoon, with a jug labeled 'XXX' nearby.}'' He's livin' the high life.

'''SKELETAL FAT DUDLEY:''' ''{makes musical noises}''

:'''SKELETAL OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Curses! Now I'll never find gold pants to fit this tiny waist!

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=skinflint skinflint] is a person who would save, gain, or extort money by any means.
*A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=codger codger] is a mildly eccentric and usually elderly fellow.
*[[Wikipedia:Corn pone|Corn pone]] is a bread-like dish made from corn meal that is traditionally fried in butter, lard or bacon grease. It's a popular food in the southern United States, and is also known as cornbread.

===Trivia===
*This is the first cartoon featuring the "[[Old-Timey]]" characters in the far-flung year of 1937.
*This is Sickly Sam's first appearance where he does not "die".
*27 cents in 1937 are worth roughly $3.50 in 2004, when the toon came out.
*The books on the bookshelf are titled:
**Dead Things Book One
**Ghostly Measures
**Creepy Stories for Toddlers
**The Haunted Jacuzzi
**27 Cent Ghosties
**The Ghost In My Pocket
**Creepiness, Oh My!
**There Is A Ghost In This Book
**A Goodtime Story ''(The Homestar Runner chooses this book)''
**Banshees, Indeed!
**Ghastly Monsters
**Zombies Are Cool

====Skeletons====
The skeletons of most of the characters were seen when the ghost literally scared them out of their skins. (The Sneak's skeleton is not seen in the toon.) See also: [[Old-Timey Other Costumes]].

'''The Homestar Runner'''
*His foot bones are the same shape as his shoes.

'''Old-Timey Marzipan'''
*Her ponytails have bones in them.
*Marzipan's skeleton also reveals that her "skirt" has its own skeletal structure. This is in agreement with [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where contemporary Marzipan wore jeans with a hole near the hem, and skin was visible underneath.

'''Fat Dudley'''
*He has hands, but no arms.
*Fat Dudley's skeleton also shows that he is not fat, but rather big-boned.

'''Old-Timey Strong Bad'''
*His mustache has bones in it.
*Strong Bad's skeleton also shows that his shoes have bones, or at the very least that his feet are shoe-shaped.
*His hands look like his "gentleman's sports gloves", which proves that he doesn't just wear them; those are really what his hands look like. The same would then apply to modern-day Strong Bad's boxing gloves, and maybe even his mask, which is consistent with his response in the email [[some kinda robot]].
*He has no visible mouth; it may be behind his mustache, which moves when he talks.
*There is a crack in his skull showing exposed brain.

'''Strong Man'''
*His shoulders are part of his skull.
*His lower jaw is much narrower than the rest of his skull, and his jaw is noticeably off center.
*His pelvis is as wide as his skull.

===Remarks===
*The stylish jig is the first time the Strong Man has moved his legs. In previous appearances he moved by bouncing from one foot to the other.
*Based on the tombstones in Cholera Acres Cemetary, Sir Rondello Shmallow could be [[Mr. Shmallow]]'s full name.
*The theme for Old-Timey Strong Bad is different from that of his previous appearances.
*The Homestar Runner's voice isn't as scratchy and Fat Dudley's voice is deeper than in [[Parsnips-A-Plenty]].
*Fat Dudley has no arm bones, yet he was able to reach his plate with the spoon.
*Assuming that this toon takes place in October 31, 1937, [[Wikipedia:John D. Rockefeller|John D. Rockefeller]] would already be dead for 5 months.
*Although Sickly Sam comes out of a grave, the tombstone reads "Eustice Pietimer", meaning he was in the grave with a corpse or previously took the corpse out.
*Assuming that this toon takes place on October 31, 1937, that day was Sunday. If Sickly Sam buried himself alive on Tuesday, he would have been buried alive for 5 days.
*The [[TV time toons menu]] lists the year this toon came out as 1937.
*Strangely, Strong Bad's brain is exposed when he is a skeleton despite the fact that none of his other organs are present.

===Goofs===
*The two one-eyed crows' eyeballs do not match up with the painting after the painting is removed.

*The page title, "Bury Me Deep I'm Cold and Clammy!" is taken from an interview with [[Matt Chapman]] in which he says this line as [[Homsar]]. The interview can be seen [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/index.html here].
*The Homestar Runner's eyes ballooning up in fright is similar to The Cheat in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' This was a year where we did two updates, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Two Halloween updates is what he means.

'''MATT:''' No, the whole year, ''{Mike laughs}'' we only did two updates.

'''MIKE:''' We did this one, what, maybe two weeks before Christmas and then, what was—

'''MATT:''' Halloween, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Chri— No, two— Christmas.

'''MATT:''' We're both getting—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I often ask people what they are gonna dress up for for Christmas. ''{quickly}'' Do you know what you're going to dress up for for Christmas?

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You do that a lot, like you've done that years— several years?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I started doing it in college.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You just— You're not doing it on purpose.

'''MIKE:''' No, no. I don't know why.

'''MATT:''' Maybe you like Halloween better than Christmas.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' Don't tell church. ''{Mike laughs}'' They'll be offended. That's some new talks for Fat Duds right there. ''{makes Fat Dudley's musical noises}'' That's not his usual.

'''MIKE:''' I like that the telescope is just, uh, the transition to get to— ''{Matt laughs}'' It's nothing—

'''MATT:''' No one's looking at it. I don't know if Rockefeller actually wore a monocle, Mike.

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

'''MATT:''' Or an eyeball, for that— ''{Mike laughs}'' He may not have had eyeballs for all I know. ''{pause until Old—Timey Homestar says "we can do more damage that way"}'' That's what Bill Murray says, Dr. Peter Venkman.

'''MIKE:''' Ah. Look, isn't there some Zelda sounds when some spiders scurry away?

'''MATT:''' Are they Zelda sounds? I thought they were the fret noise on the keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Ah.

'''MATT:''' On the Yamaha keyboard. There's that fret—

'''MIKE:''' For some reason, I thought it was... some—

'''MATT:''' It sounds kinda like the Skulltula sound.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I suppose.

'''MIKE:''' That's what I thought it was. ''{Matt laughs}'' Maybe the wiki told me what it was ''{Matt laughs again}'' and they— they steered me wrong.

'''MATT:''' No, it's clearly the guitar fret noise sound effect from Yamaha.

'''MIKE:''' The same noise from the Rhino Feeder.

'''MATT:''' Mhm, it's like all of the different noises on Rhino Feeder are just different notes of the fret noise. He's living the high life there, it looks like to me, Mike, more than at the end of the cartoon. Got a bottle of hooch and a nice cigar.

'''MIKE:''' You see a little of Fat Dud's butt right there?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you see that in the first, uh, the first Fat Dudley cartoon... ''{quickly}'' the first cartoon that Fat Dudley makes an appearance in.

'''MIKE:''' So, that, uh, gravestone said "skinflint and junk codger" and junk codger... Where did that come from?

'''MATT:''' It's one of the Strong Bad Email menus, one of the Strong Bad Email DVDs, the menu for it, when it zooms quickly past the screen of the Lappy or Compy or whichever computer it is. We made a bunch of fake, place holding Strong Bad Email names and one of them was "junk codger".

'''MIKE:''' It's an email I'd like to make some day.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I don't really know what a codger is, ''{Matt laughs}'' let alone a junk codger.

'''MATT:''' There's also, uh, uh— Who is it? Somebody, um... Mr. Shmallow?

'''MIKE:''' Mr. Shmallow is something, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' One of the graves has that name on it.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Sir Rondello Shmallow. That's what it is. "Look Lively?" it says, question mark? ''{in a voice similar to Old—Timey Strong Bad's}'' The fantoustic! ''{normal voice}'' Oh. Wait, a minute, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It's just our worst friend. So...

'''MATT:''' We're to believe that he just comes by and just buries himself in someone else's grave or does he always bury himself in Eustice Pietimer's grave?

'''MIKE:''' I bet it's a different grave.

'''MATT:''' Ah! That thing scares the crap out of me.

'''MIKE:''' It scares the...

'''MATT:''' It scares the skin off of—

'''MIKE:''' Everything off of—

'''MATT:''' So, this is a rare glimpse into the physiology or at least, the skeletal structure of some of these characters.

'''MIKE:''' I like how Marzipan's ponytails are...

'''MATT:''' Same with Strong— Strong Bad's—

'''BOTH:''' —mustache—

'''MATT:''' —has bones.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up... you stupid hippie.<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{spoken}'' I'm-a gonna throw a brick at your cellist.<br />

''{A crash is heard, with the sound of a piano being broken}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*This song comes from [[They Might Be Giants]] [[TMBW:Podcast 37A|Podcast 37A]], which was released eleven months before this toon. During the podcast, John Flansburgh mentions that the song is "hopefully going to be made into something with Homestar."

===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Powered by The Cheat - Crystal Fortress|RSS description]] of this toon is:
<blockquote>'''Matt says''' - Here's a little something we made years ago with the They Might Be Giants boys that we never really did anything with (they released it on a podcast one time, though). So we figured we'd give the keys to The Cheat (in his first video since hip-hop/death metal smash hit [[HR:trudgemank.html|Trudgemank]])and mix it with a healthy dose of 'Stave it Off Guy' from the '[[for kids]]' sbemail. I've just been calling him Stave for short. My dream was always to get Linnell dressed up like Stave and have puppet Strong Bad harrass and harangue him but that puppet weighs too freaking much to take anywhere.</blockquote>

*this is the only Powered by the Cheat cartoon to not show him, or anyone else at the end.

===Remarks===
*Although Strong Bad says he's "gonna throw a brick at [their] cellist", the instrument that is heard afterward is a piano.
*[[Matt Chapman]] refers to the singer in the RSS entry as "Stave".

===Goofs===
*The girl is the only one of the Haddi-Man kids that does not have a shadow.
*During the scene where the unicorn is heading towards the key, the background runs out and shows white at the very last frame. This is most noticeable in the flash file.

===Inside References===
*[[French fries]] are commonly seen and mentioned throughout the music video.
*Inside Davey's mouth there are French fries [[Food Still In Peel or Package|still in the box]].
*At the end of the email [[virus]] Strong Bad says that he doesn't even remembers Davey's name.
*[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?|The guitarist]] first appeared in [[for kids]], as did the three children.
**Also, "Haddi-man", who was listed as one of the directors, was [[Homsar]]'s public television name in the same email.
*Strong Bad mentions [[Puke|vomit inducing]].
*Strong Bad's comments throughout the song are similar to those in [[Sensitive to Bees]]. In both songs, he responds to the first sung line with "What?".
*Strong Bad says he'll melt the guitarist's face; in [[coloring]] he attempted to "melt" Limozeen's faces with his crayons. Also, in the DVD commentary for [[the_bet#Commentary_Transcript|the bet]], Strong Bad connects "guitar-shredding" with face-melting.
*When Strong Bad is seen on the mountaintop, he is depicted as being [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|really muscular]].
*The pixelated lightning bolts at the beginning of Strong Bad's metal segment are directly imported from the [[Peasant's Quest]] title screen.
*Strong Bad stylized as a "haddiman" kid has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|ears]].
*Strong Bad threatens to throw a brick, something he also did in [[Sketchbook (video)]] and [[the process]].
*At the beginning of Strong Bad's metal segment, the picture shown in the background is the [http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Unicorn-in-Paradise-Posters_i1314254_.htm "Unicorn In Paradise"] poster (sans unicorn), which was also seen in [[Strong Bad Main Page|his bedroom]].
*This toon has another reference to [[Rainbows]].
*This toon prominently features [[Unicorns]].

===Real-World References===
*Davey's costume before Strong Bad appears on the mountaintop is based on that of [[Wikipedia:Brynhildr#Wagner's "Ring" cycle|Brunnhilde]] from [[Wikipedia:Richard Wagner|Wagner's]] [[Wikipedia:Der Ring des Nibelungen|"Ring" cycle]]. It is considered an iconic and stereotypical operatic costume.
*The scene with Strong Bad on the mountaintop is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Night on Bald Mountain|"Night On Bald Mountain"]] sequence of the [[Disney]] movie, ''[[Wikipedia:Fantasia (film)|Fantasia]]'', with Strong Bad as Chernabog.
**It may also be a reference to the introduction of [[Wikipedia:Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire|Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire]], since the "Sierra Presents" logo also has a purple genie appearing from behind a mountain.
*The line "You get French fries, and you get French fries, but you don't get French fries" may be a reference to the They Might Be Giants song, "Even Numbers" which contains the line, "you like French fries, but you don't like French fries".

1-Up

2010-10-07T20:28:52Z

SuperNES:

[[Image:New1Up.png|thumb|right|170px|Can he be the guy?]]
[[Image:Better-1-Up.png|left|Wants to be the guy]]

'''1-Up''' is [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[20X6]] counterpart. Everybody says [[Stinkoman]]'s the guy, but 1-Up wants to be the guy too. Stinkoman wouldn't let him because he was just a kid, and maybe he will when 1-Up gets older. However, the description for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] in [[Stinkoman 20X6]] says that 1-Up proved that he's not just a kid in the previous level. Stinkoman has yet to acknowledge this.

1-Up is often squished by [[Pan Pan]], usually to Stinkoman's great delight. His most notable accomplishment outside of Stinkoman 20X6 is that he found Homestar's "time box" in [[time capsule]]. 1-Up missed a challenge in [[Under Construction]], which [[Stinkoman]] took care of, and Pan Pan, Stinkoman, and 1-Up all ate pudding because they deserved a break.

His name comes from the video game term for an [[Wikipedia:1-up|extra life]]. The name wasn't officially revealed until Stinkoman 20X6 debuted, and has, so far, never been said outside the game. [[Stinkomanual#Level 4 - Fisticuff!|The description of Level 4]] in the [[Stinkomanual]] calls him "1up the extra man"; therefore, it is possible that this is his full name. In the toon twenty thanxty six Stinkoman refers to him as talks to me extroadinare.

1-Up's physical characteristics follow [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Japanese Cartoon]] rules: invisible mouth when closed (ridiculously huge when opened), kind of a bean-shaped head, shinier, and robot boots. However, he lacks blue hair (although in [[Main Page 17]], scrolling the mouse over "Store" results in giving 1-Up this trait). 1-Up is one of the few characters in the [[Homestar Runner universe]] who has a visible nose.
