==Transcript==

''{Balding Man sits looking depressed in his wood-paneled living room in an aqua-green lounge chair while holding a canned cold one and watching TV. Light music plays in the background.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Say there, "husband of the year," what are you doing just sitting around?

''{Balding Man looks at the camera and gives a loud, long sigh.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' When you could be sitting around ''huge'' savings ''{Balding man gives a big smile}'' at the Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale!!! ''{The last six words are printed across the screen, and "Supra Sale" is echoed.}''

''{Balloons float up as the scene wipes to reveal Senor Cardgage standing in the Field in front of a portable tent covering the small shrub. Two strands of multicolored pennant streamers hang in front of and behind the tent.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Gamble around the campfire, children! It's Senor Cardgage with the Senorial Day Tent thing that guy talked about.

''{The next scene tumbles in from the center. Still in the Field, Senor Cardgage stands in front of the [[Gremlin]] with a strand of pennant streamers overhead.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' It won't be here forever. So come see me ''{pull back to reveal the Wagon Fulla Pancakes at Senor Cardgage's feet}'' and this little dog ''{indicating the wagon}'' for vera low prices!! ''{"VERA LOW PRICES!!" flashes on the screen.}''

''{The screen shifts to a blue screen with "Tent Event" printed all over it. As the narrator names off the following years, the numbers fly across the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' 2005! 2004! 1999!

''{Scene shifts back to the awning and the shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Those were all good years. Don't let another minute go you by.

''{The screen turns to static for a moment as the channels apparently change, and we now see Bubs at his concession stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, every peoples! Come check out my circumstance this Senorial Day Weekend for Bubsotathon!!

''{The screen pans out, and we can see a star-spangled "BUBSOTATHON!!" banner above the concession stand. Two Homestar Runners, bizzarely, can be seen flanking the stand and barely on screen. Both throw confetti.}''

'''LEFT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{fireworks noises}'' Pekyoo! Hgyoo! Pghyoo! Doo! Pehw! Wehw! ''{normal voice}'' Explosions! Fireworks!

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Bubs is standing next to the Stop Sign and the Tire. The Tire has been painted to read "LOW SAViNGS".}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up the Tire}'' We're so ''tired'' of low savings, we're givin' 'em this boot! ''{He pulls a [['Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]] out from behind his back and hits the tire with it. An unseen audience groans. Bubs throws both props over his shoulder.}'' Would I lie to my own flesh and blood?

''{Homestar walks in from stage right, with false Bubs teeth drawn on his jaw in marker and a paper ring taped over his left eye.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Bubba daddy!

''{The Tire and the Boot are seen falling behind the fence. The [[Bear-Shark]] pops up as they land. The channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, back in front of the Gremlin. Strong Bad walks up from stage right with an American football in hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, excuse me, sir. Can I have some tremendous savings? And your autograph? ''{holds up the ball}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{writing on the football with a marker}'' My left name is "Tremendous Savings", Miss America! ''{grabs the football and winds up to throw it, indicating for Strong Bad to go long}'' Go out for a pass!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' You bet! Hit me on the slant! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{Senor Cardgage pauses for a moment, then drops his arms, still holding the football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Bring on down your whole fambly! We'll set up some tents ''{an image of a tent hovers on the left side of the screen}'' and hot dogs ''{an image of a hot dog hovers on the right}'' for your... babies. ''{scratching his head}'' Those like those, right?

''{Channel changes back to Bubs, who is back at his concession stand. He's wearing a pink baby bonnet and holding a rattle.}''

'''BUBS:''' We're going ''gaga'' ''{rattles the rattle}'' over slashed prices! ''{As he says this, a serrated blade emerges from the end of the rattle and the word "PRICES" appears at the bottom of the screen. He slashes "PRICES" in two with the blade. The audience groans. Bubs ducks down, then returns with a wig and a tennis racquet.}'' Our competition is a total ''racket!'' ''{The audience groans again. Bubs ducks down again and returns with a bean bag that looks vaguely like Strong Sad's head on a plate.}'' We're getting a''head'' of the rest. ''{More groans. Bubs now switches the plate for a giant frog mask.}'' I'm the hoppity-frog of values! ''{Audience says "Huh?" in unison. Bubs switches props to a rubber chicken.}'' We're holding up a novelty rubber chicken and playing a cartoony sound effect ''{He raises his left hand to cue a pair of cartoony "boing" sound effects}'' of savings!

''{Channel changes back to Senor Cardgage, who is back in front of the awning and shrub.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You doe NOT want to miss ''{"Doe NOT Miss Out" appears at the bottom of the screen.}'' any Senorial Day savings action!

''{Cut to file footage of an urban alley, where Senor Cardgage is sleeping in an orange sleeping bag, using his Aldi bags as a pillow. A box labeled "UNLABELED BOX" can be seen to the left. Senor Cardgage snores loudly as cars honk their horns in the background. Cut back to the Gremlin, where Senor Cardgage is still holding Strong Bad's football.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Wake up! Senorial Day is here with a vengeance!

''{Strong Bad returns.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, Mister Senor, sir? Can I have my football back?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' You bet! How 'bout I hitcha on the slant?

''{Senor Cardgage winds up to throw the ball, and Strong Bad dashes off again. After a moment's pause, Senor Cardgage again drops his arms, still holding the football. He then walks off, stage left. We cut to Strong Bad, still running in the other direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna get me a touchdown!

''{Channel changes back to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' So come down around my Bubba Concession Stand—my Buh—my cassette—''{music screeches to a halt}'' Ough! I even wrote this stuff and I can't remember my own lins.

''{Another Bubs wearing devil horns and carrying a pitchfork rips open the screen.}''

'''DEVIL BUBS:''' So come on by for Bubsotathon ''{The banner from earlier comes up from the bottom of the screen}'' where you'll save like a demon, or my name ain't ''{holds up a "VERY OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION CARD"}'' Bubs Concession Stand!

''{The channel changes to the wall of the Balding Man's living room, with ID cards that read "BACK" and "AGAIN".}

==Easter Eggs==

*When Senor Cardgage holds up Strong Bad's football the first time, click on the football to see what Senor Cardgage wrote (in very scrawly handwriting): "This pen doesn't work, small girl T. Mendous Savings"

*At the very end, click on the narrow wood panel just to the left of the AGAIN card.

:''{The Field at night. Crickets chirp in the background. Strong Sad walks on from stage left.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, there's nothing like going out for a lonely lurk on a lovely Spring night.

:''{Strong Bad's football flies in from off in the distance and nails Strong Sad squarely in the back of his head, knocking him over.}''

:'''STRONG SAD:''' OHGH! Somebody hit me on the slant!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Senorial Day was released on and is a takeoff of the U.S. holiday [[Wikipedia:Memorial Day|Memorial Day]], during which there are often many much-hyped retail sales events.
*A slant pattern is an [[Wikipedia:American football|American football]] play in which a potential receiver runs across the field at an angle instead of running straight toward the end zone.

===Trivia===
[[Image:BubsID.png|thumb|Bubs' ID card]]
*Bubs' ID card reads:
<pre style="width:450px">VERY OFFICIAL
IDENTIFICATION CARD

BUBS C. STAND
Entrepreneur
FREE COUNTRY USA
[SUSPENDED]
CLASS "I don't look half bad!"
F -Bubs</pre>
*If you view the Flash file directly, then in the scene with two Homestars, you can see that the Homestar on the right has a mustache.
**While watching the Flash file, you can see the cinder block under the sign, when bubs is giving the tire the boot.

===Remarks===
*If Bubs can be trusted, then we learn his full name is "Bubs Concession Stand."

===Inside References===
*The Balding Man and his sigh are from [[Senor Mortgage]].
*Senor Cardgage signs the football with a [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker]].
*Bubs wears the same [[Wikipedia:John McEnroe|John McEnroe]] costume that Homestar wore in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*Bubs holding up the fake Strong Sad head first appeared in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] in which Strong Sad called it, "self portrait in late October." Strong Sad's severed head appeared next in [[Fan Costume Commentary]]. Then finally, in one of the pages in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]], in which The Cheat serves up Strong Sad's head on a platter.
*In the email [[montage]], the Wagon Fulla Pancakes was said to have gone on to do commercial spots for used car dealerships. This explains its appearance in this cartoon, which is an obvious parody of said commercials.
*The serrated knife that Bubs uses is like the [[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies|Hash-Haw]] from [[Stinkoman 20X6]] level 6.
*Bubs also said, "Hey there every peoples!" In his character video.

When we grow up we want to be chefs. We wanted to know
if you had any secret family recipes that you would want
to share with us so...we can make them!

-Melissa and Hillary (from NJ)
</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "The usual" and "NJ" as "Nigeria"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mellie, Hillarious, being from Africa I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' so our recipes may seem a little uncouth. ''{stops typing}'' Uncouth. ''{typing}'' Can something be just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth. Anyways, Couthy, all our family recipes tend to center around the grossing out of or the making puke of friends and well-wishers.

''{The camera cuts back, and we see The Cheat laying on the computer desk flinging floppy disks all over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Let's go try out Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend Ice Cream Showdown!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, possibly an enthusiastic "Okay!"}''

''{The Cheat stands up. The screen fades to grey and the following text appears}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Strong Bad may or may not have an actual Great Uncle Pawdabber.

''{Cut to the field. Coach Z is standing around holding a basketball}''

'''COACH Z:''' Man, what is this thing? ''{bounces it once}'' A bounce thing?

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right. Strong Bad is holding what appears to be a bowl of ice cream with yellowish sprinkles, and The Cheat is wearing a towel around his waist}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat! Wow! Look at this! It's our best friend, Coach Z. Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free ic�d c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!

'''COACH Z:''' How could I refuse? ''{throws the basketball over his shoulder}'' I can't afford the money-cost variety!

''{Coach Z takes the ice cream and starts pigging out on it}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooh! Sweet mercy! ''{eats some more}'' This is orful! ''{eats more}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur.

''{Strong Bad pulls away The Cheat's towel to reveal that he's been shaved from the waist down}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds like "ta-da!"}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{starts making disgusted noises and coughing up fur}'' Oof! I think I'm going to puke my pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Please don't elaborate on THAT.

'''COACH Z:''' Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!

'''STRONG BAD AND THE CHEAT:''' AUGH!

''{Strong Bad and the Cheat run away as Coach Z continues talking}''

'''COACH Z:''' You take your pants...

''{A recipe card appears on screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend
Ice Cream Showdown

Ingredients:
3 scoops (really) sour cream
1/2 of shaved The Cheat
1 bowl
1 languagely challenged vaguely coach type person

Instructions:
Mix ingredients until golden brown
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For best results, dip The Cheat in egg wash before shaving or else he'll get those red shaving bumpies all over him. Ugh.

''{Cut to the side of the King of Town's castle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Alright, we're mixing this next one up on them, The Cheat. I filled this Speed Stick ''{pulls out some underarm deodorant reading X-treme Glacier}'' with white chocolate and we'll totally gross out or make puke The King of Town when I start eatin' it in front of him!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to inside the castle. The King of Town is watching TV and eating the same type of Speed Stick we saw Strong Bad with. He also has some more underarm deodorants and spray cans in a bowl next to him.}''

'''TV ACTOR:''' Can you play your guitar, Caleb?

'''CALEB:''' I can try!

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Old King Droll! Checka me out! I'm eatin'- oh. Never mind. Ugh, shoulda known...

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk out}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No wait, you guys! Come back! This stuff is strong enough for a man but TASTY enough for a king! Don't you want to try any Forest Rush? Or Tundra Mist?

''{A recipe card spins onscreen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Crazy Aunt Eulatherm's Deodorant
Doppelganger

Ingredients:
6 oz. white chocolate
1/2 of shaved The Cheat (for moral support)
1 kinda cleaned-out De-odor Cake

Instructions:
Mix ingredients. Preheat oven. Add hot sauce
if necessary
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, how come deodorants and stuff are always named after biomes anyways?

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan is sitting on the couch reading The Latest News. Homestar walks in carrying one of Strong Bad's Pre-Tend Ice Cream Showdown bowls.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{setting aside her paper, clearly amused}'' Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' WHAT?! ''{does a spit take, producing some fur}'' Strong Bad told me it was sour CREAM and The Cheat hair! Looks like THIS is a job for Stupid Uncle Egg's Goodtime Diaper Pie!

''{Homestar walks offscreen to the left. The screen greys and the following text appears on it}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Homestar Runner definitely does not have a Stupid Uncle Egg.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room. A pinecone and bendy straw are in a bowl with a sign next to it reading "not A pimecone, diaper pie! i mean reg-ular pie." Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in. The Cheat is now wearing yellow post-it notes, some with black dots on them, to try and cover up his shaved area}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it looks TOTALLY real. I swear, no one will be able to tell! Oh, what's this? ''{Strong Bad picks up the sign}'' "Not a pimecone." Well, he's got that right!

''{Homestar pokes his head in from the right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh look, it's my best friends Cheat and The Strong Bad! Hey, I heard you guys been eating some serious regular pie in here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah man! We've even got some left over if you want it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well if it's anywhere near as good as your free ice cream!

''{Homestar puts the pine cone in his mouth and starts crunching it up. The Cheat and Strong Bad look at each other incredulously}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with his mouth full}'' Well, so long, suckers!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It's like, even when we win, he wins.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you go girls. Recipes for the ages. But if you really want to be chefs when you grow up, we've got a super-secret family recipe for cooking the C-H-E-blank-T ''{types this as "C H E _ T"}''

''{The Cheat makes a very angry noise from offscreen and chucks a floppy disk reading "YOU JERK!" at Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! ''{typing}'' And of course that blank is for the letter K. The Chekt. My family's got a great recipe for cooking the Chekt. Yeah, yeah. ''{only types one "yeah"}'' We're mostly from Bumdumbourge. It's near, uh, Totalslava. "Come down off that smokestack and eat your the Chekt!" my poopaw used to say. Ah, my dear poopaw, I miss you so.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' I think the Cheat bought it. Let me know if you want that recipe.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*Homestar actually calling Marzipan his girlfriend may be because this email came up on Valentine's Day.
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first reference to any of Strong Bad's (potential) family besides Strong Sad, Strong Mad, and his parents.
* A "poopaw" may be a reference to his father (or grandfather). A few similar sayings are "meemaw" (or "mamaw") for a grandmother, and a "papaw" for a grandfather.
*This is the first time that The Cheat has been ''directly'' addressed as just "Cheat" without the word "The" preceeding it. And the first time that modern Strong Bad has been directly addressed WITH a "The" preceeding his name!
**This is simply a result of Homestar's constant unintentional messing-up of words. It should not really be considered anything more than a simple gag.

=== Remarks ===
*Dictionary.com defines "couth" as "Marked by or possessing a high degree of sophistication; refined."
*Coach Z must have known what a basketball was when he appeared in [[anything]] saying that "Reg had the ball at the top of the key."
*The sound effect made when the basketball bounces is not the sound of a basketball, but the sound of a playground ball bouncing. Playground balls are a lot softer and more flexible than basketballs.

=== Goofs ===
*When Strong Bad reads the "pimecone" card, the computer screen is almost blank... but still has "and well-wishers." written on it in the same area where Strong Bad typed it before.
*Homestar has no legs in the pinecone scene.

=== Inside References ===
*The newspaper Marzipan is reading is the exact same one (down to the repeating text) she was reading in [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*The effect used before Strong Bad and Homestar Runner show off their recipes was previously used in [[radio]].
*The book titled "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman" is a reference to a cartoonish drawing of Strong Bad labeled "Wrestleman" that appeared in the Sketchbook one week.
**It may also refer to [[army]], where Homestar is giving a pep-talk to his 'troops' and refers to Strong Bad and the Cheat as "a two-bit wrestleman and his yellow dog!", or to "personal favorites" where one of the easter egg emails reads "R u a real wrestleman?"

=== Real-World References ===
*The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to deodorant Secret's ad campaign, which states that it's "strong enough for a man, but pH balanced for a woman." It's an old campaign; the Secret slogan was originally "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." They've since changed it to simply, "Strong enough for a woman."
*Bumdumbourg and Totalslava could be loose references to the country of Luxembourg (and possibly many European cities whose names end in -burg or -bourg) and the city of Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia).
*"Old King Droll" is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Old King Cole."
