{As usual, the toon starts in the basement of the Brothers Strong; the light dims and the projector screen comes down. The first slide shows a fan dressed like a peasant with paper fire on his head. There is springs sticking out of it.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Nice flaming Peasant Costume! Those are some quality doing-sproings on your flaming robe too!
{Scene cuts to Peasant's Quest at the old man inn.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover as he types in the command} Get doing-sproings from old man.
{The game pops-up with a message "That's the worst thing anyone has ever tried to type into this game. Ever."}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} What?!
{The game then cuts to the game over screen. Afterwards, the scene cuts back to the basement. The next slide shows a person in a muscular Strong Bad costume. He's sitting next to a laptop with "Lappier" seen on the screen.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Somebody finally got it right! I don't know where you found another biological pair of A+ #1 All-Pro Panache boxing gloves! But the real kicker is that you dressed up as me on January 7th! {The data "01-07-2015" appears on the bottom left corner of the picture} That's the day every year where I cover my arms and abdomen {A bag of brown-colored Fluffy Puff marshmallows descends from the top of the screen} in expired seasonal Fluffy Puffs!
{Zoom in on the costume's left shoulder. Marshie's face appears on the costume.}
MARSHIE: Open up your pores, and let me into your heart! Literally! Clog 'em up, clog 'em up, clog 'em up, y'all!
{The King of Town pops into frame, silhouetted.}
THE KING OF TOWN: I'll do it! I volunteer!
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Get outta here!
{The King of Town descends. The next slide shows four people dressed as the 4 Gregs, in front of poorly-drawn bleachers drawn on hexagonal grid paper.}
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Now these are very accurate.
{The Gregs' words appear in speech bubbles:}
SCI-FI GREG: We're scientifically accurate!
D N' D GREG: We're fantastically accurate!
OPEN SOURCE GREG: We're technically accurate!
JAPANESE CULTURE GREG: We're... the Japanese word for accurate? My language app hasn't taught me that one yet.
{A Teen Girl Squad-style smartphone appears with text reading "so you want to be able to subtitle pirated anime? lesson 12: accurate?". A buzzer sounds as "not unlocked yet" with red X's appears below.}
{The next costume is Senor Cardgage standing in front of a garage door, holding a grocery bag.}
STRONG BAD: Hey look, it's Senor Garagedgage! Man, these Cardgage costumes just keep gettin' better! Like, I would totally pay this person to come to my house and hang out in character. Y'know, we could like, sit around and batch the talentbision...
{A Telebision appears to the right with the words "Let's Batch Some Talentbision!"}
STRONG BAD: Or like, halph a culp of teembs...
{A mug of tea appears to the left with the words "Shall We Halph a Culp of Teembs?"}
STRONG BAD: It'd be great!
{The next slide shows a man in his living room dressed as Crack Stuntman in a green jacket, sunglasses, and a drawn-on five o'clock shadow. A beat starts.}
CRACK STUNTMAN: {rapping} Well you're a this kid living in the suburbs and you want a Halloween costume. You find a green jacket, a pair of sunglasses, but you wanna put some stubble on you! So kids, don't-draw-five-o'clock-shadows with permanent styles, come on, come on—
{A Sharpie-like marker appears to the left and gets a ban symbol over it.}
CRACK STUNTMAN: Non-toxic washable markers are gonna save some lives! {beat stops; no longer rapping} Or at least prevent an annoying rash on your chin. It hurts when I drink fresh lemnad!
STRONG BAD: Thank you Crack Stuntman, that will be all.
{The next slide shows someone dressed as Homestar Runner with white paint covering their face and neck, holding a drink can covered in pink duct tape.}
STRONG BAD: You really committed to slathering that white paint all over your face, huh? My only question is, what did it look like when you closed your eyes and mouth...?
{The next slide shows the same person with closed eyes and mouth, causing an eerie faceless look. Music sting.}
STRONG BAD: {screams}
{The next slide shows a recreation of Strong Bad's "dangeresque: cyberthymez" drawing from Twitter, with a futuristic Dangeresque costume and a Kick The Cheat plush in green visor glasses.}
STRONG BAD: What the frig-awesome? My brains are experiencing heretofore-unknown levels of frigawesomine! Lemme tell you all what's going on here. This person very faithfully recreated some Dangeresque cyber-crap {the drawing appears onscreen} I Tweeted like a year ago.
{Zoom in on The Cheat; a line points to The Cheat's projected computer screen and the following words appear in yellow as Strong Bad speaks:}
videlectrix mainframe grid.neon.green
security.override m*all.the.dang.firewalls
reindeer.flotilla
~/. bash in the head
STRONG BAD: You got The Cheat bypassing the Videlectrix outer core with his custom twenty-eight-eight TotalTronics Holocraunch Sim-dogger!
{A line points to the gear in back of The Cheat and labels it "TotalTronics 28.8 Holocraunch Sim-dogger (totally jailbroken)". Pan to Dangeresque.}
STRONG BAD: And there's Dangeresque 2.58, jacked into the mainframe with his sawed-off Atari Taze-chuk.
{Wide shot.}
STRONG BAD: Man! Apparently I should just start Tweeting random stuff to see if people will dress up like it next year. Lessee...
{Cut to the Lappier's screen, on which is typed the following:}
STRONG BAD: "Tentacle mouth Strong Bad," — that's a good start — "cardboard box snowman adjacent to Homestar Runner with a Yorkshire pudding condition."
{Strong Bad hits enter, then types "edgartweeterhands.exe".}
STRONG BAD: Tweet! {return to photo} All right! Now we just gotta wait a year!
{Long pause.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, I mean not—not now.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover} Oh man. I can taste that pudding condition already!
{The next slide shows a boy with glasses in a Teeg Dougland costume.}
STRONG BAD: This is another case where I don't think this is a costume. I think this is just a picture of little Teeg Dougland. Y'know, and he'd like, manage a group of stuffed animals in his room instead of a metal band.
TEEG DOUGLAND: {voiceover} I'm afraid I've got some bad news, toys.
{Cut to Strong Mad's closet door, sitting near which are Aunt Gert, Gooblies, a Large Bean plush doll, and Poodonkis.}
'TEEG DOUGLAND: Our playdate with Scotty Titi has been cancelled.
POODONKIS: {in Larry Palaroncini's voice} But he's the only one who can get past the first boss in Rygar-uh!
AUNT GERT: {in Mary Palaroncini's voice} Yeah, and he always brings Fruit by the Foot!
{The next slide shows someone on their front porch in a large Homestar Runner costume.}
STRONG BAD: Whoa, never seen this mashup before. It's a Homestar Runner doing that Three Stooges "rawh-rawh-rawh!" sound... costume.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover} No way. I don't make that ol' Curlyman sound! Everybody knows I prefer to do that snappy-clappy thing with my hands.
STRONG BAD: With your hands.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yep.
STRONG BAD: Let's hear it.
{Homestar makes quiet sounds of strained effort.}
STRONG BAD: That—that's what I thought.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I did it!
{Cut to Homestar rolling around on a blue carpet making strange noises.}
{The next photo takes place in a Strong Bad's basement-patterned room, where a man in a Senor Cardgage costume, a man in an Istanbul costume, and a man dressed as possibly Bubs are standing.}
STRONG BAD: Well... at least your wall knows how to make a good costume. Seriously. Good job, wall.
