{Cut to Strong Mad lifting the cover off The King of Town's grill to reveal The Cheat.}

THE CHEAT: {angry The Cheat noises}

{Strong Mad replaces the cover; his reflection is clearly visible}

STRONG MAD: GAH!

{This set of sounds continues in the background; cut to The Poopsmith patting a pile of whatsit. As he does, noises are generated.}

{Noise continues in background again; cut back to Strong Mad.}

STRONG MAD: GAH!

{All three noises are still playing in background; cut to Bubs using a meat grinder to grind various things into sausages}

BUBS: Ooh! Ah! A-rink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a...

{Cut to a 4-way screen split of the four scenes currently going on, sound effects continue.}

{Cut back to The Poopsmith. He continues to make noises with the whatsit. Cut to Strong Sad and Coach Z in the gymnasium.}

STRONG SAD: Here I go! {pats his belly to make noise; scoreboard buzzes}

COACH Z: Atta boy!

{This continues in the background; cut to The King of Town eating marshmallows.}

THE KING OF TOWN: {eating noises}

{Eating noises continue in the background; cut back to Homestar Runner walking.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: One, two...

{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Sad.}

COACH Z: Atta boy!

BUBS: A-rink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-dink...

{Cut to Strong Bad in the shower, using a showerbrush as a microphone.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} I'm a woman on the prowl and I stick up for myself! The city is at night and I'm-

{Cut to a 3-way screen split of Pom Pom, Strong Mad and The Cheat, and Homestar.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} -dancin'! Dancin'!

{Cut back to Strong Bad}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Homsar solo!

{All sound effects temporarily cease; cut to Homsar in a starry background.}

HOMSAR: {vaguely similarly to the song Strong Bad was singing} AaAaAaA! OurAaAaA! {his hat floats around the screen} UrAaAaAaA, Uwarwarwarwar! A-way-way-way-waa!

{All sound effects resume; cut to Marzipan playing Carol.}

MARZIPAN: {guitar riff}

{Sound effects continue; cut to a 4-way screen split of Pom Pom, Bubs, Marzipan and Homestar. Cut to Strong Bad.}

STRONG BAD: Look out world! I'm an independent girl!

{On each of the next 5 beats, we cut to The Poopsmith, Strong Sad and Coach Z, The King of Town, Strong Mad and The Cheat, and then Pom Pom.}

STRONG BAD: Rollin' around like a motorcade!

{Cut to a 4-way vertical screen split of Homsar, The King of Town, Marzipan and Homestar. Then cut to Bubs.}

STRONG BAD: Look out world!

{Cut to a 4-way screen split of Strong Mad and The Cheat, Strong Bad, Strong Sad and Coach Z, and Pom Pom}

STRONG BAD: I'm an independent girl! {sound effects stop; zoom in on Strong Bad's square} {out of key} You can meet me down at the arcade! {no longer singing} Whoa. Need to get the acoustics checked out in here. {taps the brush he is holding, making a sound like tapping a microphone} Is this thing broken?

{fade out}

Fun Facts

Explanations

• A motorcade is a procession of cars leading a VIP, usually a political figure, down a main road.

Trivia

• When this toon was first released, the MixMastah was loaded into the toon's Flash file, and would automatically appear at the end. Later on, the toon was modified to make the user click a link in order to reach the MixMastah in a separate page instead.
• The items Bubs grinds into sausages include a steak, a tennis ball, and a Chinese food carton. Even though these items are differently colored, they all come out the same color.
• Marzipan is the only main character whose face is not shown in this short.

Remarks

• Homestar doesn't say "one, two" in time with his walking in some parts.
• The shower Strong Bad is in looks exactly like the one on Main Page 14.
• Until around 19:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC), the toon was only linked on the main page, not in the toons menu.
• Bubs is making sausages that are already in their casings and split into links by using nothing but a meat grinder. In real life, one has to stuff the casings and twist into sausages after grinding.
• Strong Bad wears a shower cap although he said himself that he doesn't have any hair.
• The grill makes a shutting sound even when Strong Mad opens it.
• Carol looks like a classical guitar, but is apparently an electric-acoustic guitar, capable of producing a distorted tone much like an electric guitar.

Goofs

• Strong Sad pats his belly 20 times, but the scoreboard displays a score of 18 at the end.

Fixed Goofs

• When released, this toon had an "Again?" button, but clicking it would cause all the sounds from the MixMastah to continue playing with the replayed toon. This was fixed with the removal of the "Again?" button.
• Before, at one part when The King of Town is eating his marshmallows one would appear to go under and outside his mustache when he eats it.
• In the MixMastah, Pom Pom's sound effect loop also included The Poopsmith's loop. This was fixed when the MixMastah was separated from the main toon.
• At one point, during a cut to Strong Sad and Coach Z, the score on the scoreboard changed from 12 to 2 for a single frame before changing to 13. Also, when it was 13, it just barely stuck out of the box. This has been corrected.

Inside References

Keep on Trucking!

• Homestar Runner's animation is based on a Weekly Sketchbook image, and was previously shown at the Georgia Tech talk. A graffiti image of Coach Z seen behind Strong Sad was also from a Sketchbook image.
• The starry background in the Homsar solo was previously seen in an Easter egg in ghosts.
• This is another example of the word style.
• Striking Strong Sad's belly also scores points in the Peg Strong Sad game.

Real-World References

• The way Homestar walks references the iconic "Truckin'" images by R. Crumb.
• The 'Fightin' Coach Z's' logo and the 180-degree angle of Coach Z's feet resemble Notre Dame's 'Fighting Irish' logo.
• Pom Pom's money throwing is a reference to the "Makin' It Rain" technique employed by rappers.
