| File:Weencostume01 mark2.png | STRONG BAD: Dear Strong Bad, how do you type with pieces of crappy red foam taped around your hands? Sincerely, Dress-up Donny. Come on, man. Give me a little effort here. The gloves. G-Get some real gloves. |
| File:Weencostume02.png | STRONG BAD: Here I am beating up some kind of...mashed potato man. Uh, they got my head pretty good in this one, 'cept I'm not sure what that junk in the front is. I clearly don't have any junk in the front. |
| File:Weencostume03.png | STRONG BAD: This guy's Coach Z costume's all right, but what he really nailed was the condition of Coach Z's apartment. That place looks like a sty hole. Ooh, pretzels! |
| File:Weencostume04.png | STRONG BAD: So let me get this straight: you guys paid a squirrel to come and gnaw The Cheat into your pumpkin? That's a waste of money. A colossal waste of money. Those squirrels' rates are... pretendous. |
| File:Weencostume05 mark2.png | STRONG BAD: Well, something's gone horribly wrong here, 'cause, uh... these guys either let Trogdor's beefy arm atrophy, or... turned it into a...buffalo wing. |
| File:Weencostume06.png | STRONG BAD: Ah, nothing brightens up a window quite like Strong Sad's severed head. |
| File:Weencostume07.png | STRONG BAD: Oh man, if I saw that thing runnin' around my back yard, I'd get out the compound bow. And then I'd tell it to take those Kleenex boxes off its feet. |
| File:Weencostume08.png | STRONG BAD: Whoa, those things rule! These are, like, the talismans of power! You know, like, when they're all together they're a source of unspeakable evil, but then they all get separated and you have to collect them, so, like... the first board would be the jungle board, and maybe the second board is Ice World, {his voice begins to fade away} and then there's probably a desert world in there and a fire world... |
| File:Weencostume09.png | STRONG BAD: Whoa! That guy's totally getting to first base in front of, like, the dining hall, and it's all because he's dressed like me! Unless that girl's trying to suck out my eyeballs...
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {spookily} See... see! STRONG BAD: Shut up! |
| File:Weencostume10.png | STRONG BAD: Pwahaha! Oh, geez... you know, I've always preferred the snub-nosed Marzipan to the long-necked variety. {sings} Ohhh, people with too much time on their hands, oh, there's people with way too much time on their hands... |
| File:Weencostume11 mark 2.png | STRONG BAD: Barrel-chested Homestar comes with everything you see here! Paper-boxing-gloves Strong Bad not included. Dumpy Robert Smith action figure sold separately. Cozy Americana country décor available at fine stores everywhere. |
Fun Facts
Remarks
- The "Kleenex Boxes" on the Homestar model's feet are really wet wipe boxes, identifiable by the blue plastic lids.
Inside References
- The picture of the guy "reaching first base" is a reference to the Strong Bad character video, in which Strong Bad orders males to line up on the left for high fives and females on the right for makeouts.
- Homestar's "See... see!" is a reference to Malloween Commercial, in which he claims that this is the noise that eyeballs make.
Real-World References
- "Dumpy Robert Smith Action Figure" is a reference to Robert Smith, lead singer and front man of rock band The Cure (which Strong Sad is a fan of), known for his quite liberal use of makeup.
- "The Talismans of Power" scattered through "different lands" is a standby of countless RPGs, platform video games, and cartoons. More specifically, they are a reference to "Dragon Ball Z" on Cartoon Network where the characters' goal is to collect all the (7) Dragonballs to have a wish granted. The "different lands" is very reminiscent of several Mario games such as Paper Mario and Super Mario 64 where all the worlds mentioned by Strong Bad are included.
