Transcript

{A podium is seen labeled "Podium Excellens". Homestar and Strong Bad begin rising up the platform, with Homestar making a Pseudo-elevator noise}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Boooooooooooooooo-ca-chuck. Ladies and gentleman! {Squinting at the audience} Or... Gentleman and, like... two ladies! Welcome, to the 2006 Flashback show! {Confetti and spotlights appear, and music plays}

STRONG BAD: Oh, we're having a flashback show?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um, I guess so.

STRONG BAD: Awesome, I love a good cop-out! Now, let's take a look back at some of our favorite memories from previous conferences we've done.

{Probably showing something on a back projector}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Indecipherable until official toon comes out}

{Several different scenes are shown, each one met by awe from Homestar Runner}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ooooh, aaah,

{Cut to a flashback from a different convention, with a banner describing the conference Strong Bad is attending}

STRONG BAD: Welcome, to the 2002 MMOLOPRIPOIPARPG! Er, what was that he's talking about?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Nerds. Geeks and nerds.

{Cut to something else, probably a PowerPoint side presentation}

STRONG BAD: Ooooh, Nice {Indecipherable}. You look like the type of girl who would appreciate a nice Caramel Apple-tini.

{Cut back to the Flashback show}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Ah, that's some good times.

STRONG BAD: Too bad for you the good times are over. And we're about to stop talking, and some bozo's gonna start. And not some good bozo either. {They begin to descend from the platform simultaneously}

BOTH: Booooooooooooooo.

Easter Eggs

• At the end, probably click on something to see Strong Bad and Homestar crouched behind the podium.

HOMESTAR: Strong Bad, I think the elevator's broke.
