Transcript
HOMESTAR RUNNER: In the not-too-distant future,
Free Country, USA
I invaded Strong Bad's house
And overwelcomed my stay!
Just a regular fugitive-at-large
Hiding from a public nudity charge
Strong Bad was mad he lost the race,
STRONG BAD: {interrupting} So I conked him on the noggin
And punched him in the face!
STRONG BAD: I check stupid emails
The worst I'm assigned. (La-la-la)
Watch me sit and check them all,
And deteriorate your mind. (la-la-la)
Now keep in mind Homestar can't control
Where his pummeling begins or ends (la-la-la)
Me and my on-point posse
Will keep him from making friends!
ANNOUNCER: Strong Bad's Posse:
Strong Mad! (BREAKING STUFF!)
The Cheat! (Mehmehmehmeh!)
Senor Cardgage! (Oh, Grendolyn...)
Buuuubs! (That's fifty bucks!)
STRONG BAD: If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
and other science crap, (la la la)
Just repeat to yourself, "Homestar should've checked
Before I lured him into a trap
On Mystery Strong Bad Theater 3000!"
{song ends. Scene switches to Strong Bad and Strong Sad in the basement, watching the theme song on the Telebision}
STRONG SAD: Now wait a minute! When I wanted to make an {pronouncing oddly} homage to the original Star Trek, you said science fiction was for nerds, and threw a tricorder at me!
STRONG BAD: You can seek out new life and new civilisations on your own nerdy time. This {indicates television} is about making fun of people! And I fully intend to make fun of all the cartoons on this website! {jumps off the couch and begins walking towards the door}
STRONG SAD: ...But aren't most of the site's cartoons your emails?
STRONG BAD: ...Aw, crap! I forgot about that part!
{Bubs peeks in, wearing a golden net-like piece of headgear}
BUBS: Hey, Strong Bad! We're all set up in the screening room whenever you're ready.
STRONG BAD: No, forget it, guys. I'm not going to help you make fun of my emails.
BUBS: Forget that! This equipment cost me an arm and a leg! Do you know how hard those are to find around here? We'll do this with or without you, Strong Bad!
STRONG MAD: {from other room} TAPE-LEG!
STRONG BAD: All right, all right! At least let me make some popcorn. Which I intend to chew loudly enough to drown out your comments. {reluctantly follows Bubs out}
{Strong Sad looks around, then begins talking to himself, as if into a headset microphone}
STRONG SAD: Captain's Blog. Stardate, 3.14159: As my latest encounter drew to a close, I began to feel as if I was in hostile territory—
{Strong Sad is interrupted by a phaser flying out from the doorway Strong Bad left from and hitting him in the head}
STRONG SAD: OW! ...Yup, definitely hostile.
{End screen on the logo again.}
Easter Egg
- Click on the first "0" in "3000" to see Tom Servo, Crow and Homsar critique the toon.
TOM SERVO: Oh, look. He's envisioning all the ladies in... pixel form. That's so, so very sensual.
HOMSAR: Ahhhh, I'm too snazzy for the make-believe!
CROW: You know, he actually has a point there....
Fun Facts
Explanations
- This video is largely a parody of the opening sequence to Mystery Science Theater 3000. It bears the closest resemblence to the season 5-6 theme song (the line "conked him on the noggin" is the key).
- A tricorder is a scanning device used on Star Trek.
- Bubs wears an item on his head similar to the one Crow has on his head.
Inside References
- The beginning part by Homestar is similar to the events of Homestar Ruiner.
- The globe the logo is based on was first seen in the Theme Song Video.
- "Overwelcomed my stay" is an example of jumbled words.
- Strong Mad previously shouted "BREAKING STUFF!" in his character video.
- Bubs mentions fifty bucks.
- Strong Mad refers to "Tape-leg".
- Strong Sad's "Captain's Blog" may refer to his own blog, Strong Sad's Lament.
- The stardate Strong Sad uses is an approximation of pi.
- Both Strong Bad and Strong Sad break the fourth wall by referring to "cartoons on the website".
Real-World References
- Strong Sad makes reference to the original Star Trek, which aired in the 1960s. Strong Sad also makes a "Captain's Blog" in a similar style to the show. Both a tricorder and a phaser, technology used in the show, have been thrown at Strong Sad.
- The page title refers to the common phrase shouted by the characters in host segments on Mystery Science Theater 3000 when it is time to return to the theater.
