Cool Tapes

Cool Tapes is a band that Marzipan started at the end of the Cool Things cartoon. The band consists of Marzipan on guitar and vocals, Strong Mad on bass, and The Cheat on drums. As of now, they only have one song.

This band was started after Homestar Runner painted the words "Cool Tapes" on a wall in Marzipan's home. Marzipan told Homestar to paint over his words, but she then decided to make a band based upon Homestar's mistake. crfap crap crap

Transcript

STRONG BAD: {singing} I check the email, I check the email. Hi ho, emailio, I check that thing. {hits Enter, but the email only comes up halfway} What the—! Come on! I need to see the whole email! {hits Enter again, and the email comes up all the way} Ah, there we go. All right. {reading}

{Strong Bad reads his name very fast, reads "Top question!" very exuberantly, reads “preety” with an Italian accent, and reads the closing as “Sincreel y, Jordan Longstaff From, Kit Ona." Also, after “much more lively”, he says, “Lively, as opposed to lonely? Oh, and I'm not making something of my time right now? I'm not checking email, WHAT?"}

STRONG BAD: Top question? {typing} Well, NEWS FLASH, {fast} Dumbity Dorkity, I might as well not sincreel y leave my soul very {Italian accent} preety in your hands. {not typed} Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Okay. {clears screen, starts typing} You know what, From-o, it actually may be pretty all alone in Strong Badia. But I can't just go over there and come all the way back here, so {in monotone} this is a job for... {sticks a webcam on his computer} MY NEW WEBCAM!!! {loud applause} {not typed} The all new Cammy 300, a brand new technology to view any given place at any given time! Enjoy old home movies on your computer, the Cammy 300 is a prize worth about one dollar! {loud applause again, Strong Bad starts typing} So let see...

{Cut to Strong Badia.}

STRONG BAD: Yup yup. It lookas very dull. And boring. For a Population Tire.

SINGERS: {Barber Shop Quartet style} Population Tire!

{Cut back to the Lappy.}

STRONG BAD: So I think that I need to bring out {clears screen, still typing} my very famous college-educated plan! I'll get it here! {Camera pans in to right behind Strong Bad's head, and he pauses his typing to bring up a piece of paper that says “plan” on it.} So there's a lot to be said about this guy {pause} and that guy {pause} and whoever that is. {Strong Bad puts the paper down to resume typing, and the camera pans out.} Okay, so step 1 is to put in restaurants in, like Bubs' place. But he won't say yes to me stealing it, though {sotto voce} I really want to... {normal voice} So I guess to put Bubs' Concession Stand into my place, I'll have to pick someone for Bubs to pick as their assistant manager for a day, then distract Bubs to far away from his stand for long {pause} longer than a day. {He types the end of that sentence as “for longer than a day.”} Who's up? {He gets up. Camera pans out to show him walking toward Bubs' Concession Stand. Cut to the stand. Strong Bad is there with Strong Mad, talking to Bubs. A sign saying, “HELP WANTED, PEOPLE!” is shown right next to him, but Strong Mad is in front of half of it.}

BUBS: Well, I'll see. He may be the type who wants to destroy everything.

STRONG MAD: DESTROY! DESTROY!! {He starts trying to take down the concession stand. Strong Bad and Bubs are making shouts of disapproval. Cut to the same place, but now Bubs and Strong Bad are putting it back together.}

BUBS: {annoyed} Brick by brick!

{Cut back to the stick, where Homestar is standing on a soapbox that says, “ABOUT FOURTEEN?” Then cut to in front of the stand, and now in Strong Mad's place is Homestar.}

BUBS: Hmm, I don't think there's anything wrong.

STRONG BAD: You mean, besides the stupid stuff he says all the time?

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um, {pause} DESTROY! {Shouts of disapproval by Strong Bad and Bubs. Cut to Bubs and Strong Bad putting the stand back together again.}

BUBS: {annoyed} Brick by brick again!

STRONG BAD: I didn't even know he was that strong! {The bubble disappears, and in the background you can hear one of The Brothers Chaps saying, "Boom."}

STRONG BAD: {clears screen, starts typing} Well, this isn't going as I planned. Maybe we need someone less whiny. {Cut back to in front of the stand, and Strong Sad is now next to Strong Bad, but this time, Strong Bad is facing him.}

STRONG BAD: Uh, no.
BUBS: {simultaneously} Uh, no. {Edit to Senor Cardgage.}

SENOR CARDGAGE: Oh sure, Mademoiselle, help wanted. Every time. {Bubs falls asleep.}

STRONG BAD: Next! {Edit to the Poopsmith.}

BUBS: Eeew! No! Go away! {Strong Bad kicks the Poopsmith away.}

THE KING OF TOWN: {offscreen} Ow! {Edit to Pom Pom.}

BUBS: You're hired! {Pom Pom bubbles and jumps once. Now, Bubs has left, and Pom Pom is inside the stand.}

STRONG BAD: Wait here. {He pulls the screen down. The screen says, “CONCESSION, WHAT?” Strong Bad runs off. Cut to the field.} Bubs!

BUBS: Yeah?

STRONG BAD: I noticed that you're breath has been smelly lately. {covers his nose}

BUBS: But I don't even breathe!

STRONG BAD: Want a cinnamint? {He brings up a container that reads, “Hypno-Pills”. Bubs takes one and eats it.} They're chewable! {Bubs falls asleep again.} Ho-hoh! {Cut to a black screen that says, “24 Hours Later...” in Lappy text. Cut back to the stand. Strong Bad is in front of it. There is a clothespin above his mouth.} No one's in there. I'll be the new manager. I'll need some help. {He makes a whistling noise with his two fingers in his mouth. Strong Mad arrives.} Strong Mad, let's carry.

STRONG MAD: DAH!!! {He pulls the clothespin off of Strong Bad's wrestling mask and then he helps Strong Bad lift the stand and carry it over to Strong Badia.}

STRONG BAD: There's one. {They lower the stand.}

STRONG MAD: LIVELY!!! {He gets out a hammer and nails and leaps past the stand. Construction noises can be heard. Strong Bad walks toward his house. Cut back to the Lappy, where Strong Bad is about to sit down. He does.}

STRONG BAD: Well, Strong Mad's working on the rest, and I'm sure he'll have it done in {Mexican accent} no time. {Cut to the stick.}

BUBS: So you'll do it for me?

STRONG MAD: {quickly} DAH! {Cut to Strong Badia. Bubs' Concession Stand is gone, and in its place is a pile of wood. Next to it is a sign that says, “PILE OF WOOD. DON'T TOUCH.” Cut back to the Lappy.}

STRONG BAD: {normal voice} And I had to leave him a {Cut to the field.} couple hundred bucks. {Strong Bad puts some money down. Cut back to the Lappy.} But at least I made the deed myself. {Camera pans out to show the deed next to him.} And with it right {pause} in my sight, {Camera pans in again.} there's no way anyone will be able t—

STRONG MAD: DAH!!!! {His arm comes in from the right. Camera pans out to show him there. Bubs walks in.}

BUBS: There it is! {He picks up the deed and walks out. Strong Mad has a quizzical look on his face.}

STRONG MAD: WHAT? {Cut to Strong Bad, who's flying through the hallway.}

STRONG BAD: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! {He crashes into the wall, with all but his eyes still in the hallway. There is a drawing of Marshie, a drawing of a car, and a piece of paper that says “BACK!” on the other wall.} Owww. That was a crash. Well, Tlavid, there you go. So, until next week, find out how many days are in a week, and then let me out of here. And where's the... oh, never mind.

{The Paper appears. After about twenty seconds, Strong Bad talks again.}

STRONG BAD: The Cheat, I need some medical aid. And make it stronger than an explosion. {The Cheat walks in, with Senor Cardgage.}

THE CHEAT: {explanatory Cheat noises}

SENOR CARDGAGE: Oh, yes, Tombolini, that's a pita all right.

STRONG BAD: Man! So cool!

Easter Eggs

  • Click on "Top question" to see a grey index card with "TOP QUESTION!" typed on the back. Click on it to see the top question on the front. Click on it again to make it disappear. The card reads:

{Cut to the wall where Strong Bad crashed, from the outside of his house. He has a sad look on his face. However, the wall looks like the King of Town's castle wall. Coach Z and Homsar are standing there.}

COACH Z: So that's where he was.

HOMSAR: AaAaAaA! Make it a cool sandwich! {Camera pans right to reveal the King of Town.}

THE KING OF TOWN: Get away from my castle! {Coach Z and Homsar run away. The King of Town walks left, and in the background we can almost hear one of The Brothers Chaps saying, “scurry, scurry.” Camera pans right to the wall, where Strong Bad no longer has a sad face. One of the bricks says, “back.”}

  • At the end, click on Strong Bad's right leg to see what he did in the morning.

{Strong Bad is on the couch, sleeping. There is a cushion over his head. Strong Mad walks in from the right. He lifts up the couch, left end up.

He whispers the rest.} But Strong Bad is still here in new Fluffy Puff Strong Ba—

NARRATOR: All New Fluffy Puff Strong Bad Marshmallows! Now you can holy crap your friends! Strong Bad Marshmallows from Fluffy Puff!

MARSHIE: {holding a Fluffy Puff Strong Bad Marshmallow, no longer whispering} Up, up, and away! {He blasts off the top of the screen, and a rocket noise is heard.}

NARRATOR: {gibberish} {Cut back to the crash.}

  • Click on Marshie's marshmallow to add a small cutscene to the commercial.

{Cut to the crash drawing.}

STRONG BAD: HOLY CRAP!

NARRATOR: Good work, Strong Bad. Good work. {The TV turns off. The camera pans out to reveal Homestar watching TV.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {provoked} I envy and hate you, crapface!! {pause, suddenly no longer angry} Who isn't watching my TV. {Cut back to the crash.}

  • Click on Strong Bad's mouth and it'll turn round for a brief moment. Also, Coach Z will say the following:

COACH Z: {offscreen} Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered.

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • Clicking on the “BACK!” paper will return you to the Email Menu.
  • In fingers, the soapbox said, "ELEVEN SOAPS". In army, it said, "TWELVE OF THEM". In record book, it said, "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL". So in this email, it represents the number 14.

Remarks

  • Apparently, Strong Bad walked all the way from Strong Badia to his house in three seconds, which is not possible.
  • This is the first email in which Strong Bad has a sad look.
  • This is the second email in which Strong Bad has been sent flying through a wall.
  • At the end, Strong Bad claims that Strong Mad's punch is stronger than an explosion, which occurred in gimmick. But then, he would have penetrated the wall completely.

Goofs

  • When Bubs falls asleep the first time, you can actually see the z's.
  • The “TOP NEWS!” sign actually says, “NO LOAFING!” in small print at the top, if you look closely enough.
  • The gust of wind in the Easter egg would have only blown the sign and a few boards away, unless it was strong enough.
  • Strong Bad can't put a clothespin on the end of his nose, because he doesn't have one.
  • Instead of his two fingers, he put a little bit of his boxing glove in his mouth to whistle, because his fingers are inside the boxing glove.
  • Also, the boxing glove wouldn't allow him to whistle too well.
  • Pom Pom wouldn't be able to fit inside the Concession Stand, so he must have been shrunken. But then, he still wouldn't fit in either the door or the window.

Glitches

  • When Strong Bad gets up, the screen is completely blank.
  • When the camera pans out to reveal the deed, the floppy disk container isn't there.
  • In the Easter egg where Strong Bad has his sad look, The Field is actually the field from Stinkoman 20X6.
  • Each time you watch this email, the soapbox alternates from its original color to red.
  • At the end of this email, The Paper actually comes up from the bottom. Also, the noise for it coming down sounds backwards. It still says the same thing, and you don't even have to turn your head upside down.

Inside References

  • When Strong Bad gets up from his desk, his walking style is the same as that in boring (really).
  • Considering one of the explanations, the soapbox saying "ABOUT FOURTEEN" may be a reference to the box of "A MILLION PEAS" in different town.
  • The "Strong Ba—" in the commercial may be a reference to virus.
  • The singers singing, "For a Population Tire!" were the same ones from best thing.
  • The last time the narrator interrupted the advertiser was in bottom 10.
  • "Butt's twelve by pies?" was Strong Bad's question for Homestar in stupid stuff.
  • The four answers in the Easter egg were "Grumblecakes", "Cheatcakes", "Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers", and "The Chekt".
    • Grumblecakes and Cheatcakes first originated in stupid stuff.
    • Fluffy Puff Bite-Sized Nibblers is a reference to #7 on Strong Bad's bottom 10.
    • The Chekt was one of Strong Bad's secret recipes.
  • The loud applause for the Cammy 300 is the same as the applause for the Lappy 486 in animal.
  • Strong Bad's clause in the commercial Easter egg sounds exactly the same as the one in lady...ing.
  • Strong Bad's narrative clause in the kids' book Easter egg is a reference to Stinkoman's clause in Stinkoman 20X6.
  • The car drawing is the same as one on Strong Bad's science project in caffeine.
  • The gibberish spoken by the narrator may be the same as the mumbling in the Easter egg for the bet.

Real-World References

  • A pita is a tortilla stuffed with food bits, like chicken, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, etc. The cool sandwich Homsar talks about may also be a reference to that.
  • The Hypno-Pill container is shaped exactly like a Tic Tac container.
  • The email song Strong Bad sings is sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell".

DVD Version

  • You can select the letters on the “plan” paper in any order. Just use your DVD remote's angle button.
  • The after-commercial cutscene works automatically.
  • You can view the front of the question card using the angle button on your DVD remote.
  • If you use the angle button on your DVD remote to select the place where The Paper would normally appear, you can hear character transcript.
