| |
- | Jason</blockquote>
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' {typing} I'm glad you came to me, Jason. The office dullard is a clever foe. But there are ways you can beat him. Here are a few of my tried and true methods.
| |
- |
| |
- | ''{The words "Method 1" appear on the screen, as per following methods}''
| |
- |
| |
- | === Method 1 ===
| |
- |
| |
- | ''{Strong Bad is sitting and typing in an office. Homestar Runner comes and stands behind him.}''
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey man, what's up? Good time, bad time...?
| |
- |
| |
- | ''{Strong Bad quickly reaches out to his phone and pretends to have been speaking into it.}''
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Oh, oh! Yes, yes, yes... Uh, so no, I'm still here, yes. Working hard. I've been synergizing all morning... ''{He turns his head to Homestar and whispers.}'' I'm not going to be able to talk right now, man. ''{Homestar mouths "Ohhhh..." in his usual Homestarlike fashion, and walks away, leaving Strong Bad to resume his "phone call"}'' Right... Yes... Multi-tasking...
| |
- |
| |
- | === Method 2 ===
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Once I finish my second run, you know, I'll have a smoothie or something, and then I head to the gym, and do, I've been doing about three sets of reps a piece, and then one...
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Psssh! ''{Strong Bad flips Homestar off...sort of. He gives him the "Single Deuce," complete with sound effect. Homestar looks surprised, only for a moment.}''
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah... So, how much can you bench?
| |
- |
| |
- | === Method 3 ===
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, did you catch last night's episode of Popular Reality Show? Yeah? No? You missed a good one, man, you missed a good one! They were kickin' people off left and right, and, like, some people got kicked on, and um, I mean, it was... you shoulda watched it. You definitely shoulda watched it. ''{enunciates each syllable for emphasis}'' Should-a watched it. I mean, they'll be talkin' about this one for a while. I mean, ''I'm'' going ta be talkin' about this one for a while... ''{Strong Bad leaves his seat and walks away. Homestar Runner turns his head toward Strong Bad's direction.}'' Oh, cool, I guess you're going to go watch it now...oh, all right, man...later... ''{pauses}'' Cool...
| |
- |
| |
- | === Method 4 ===
| |
- |
| |
- | ''{Homestar is talking. Strong Bad is ignoring him, adding "yeah" occasionally under Homestar's dialogue}''
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So the next thing I know...
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...Fredrickson from accounting comes up to me, puts this...
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Yeaah.
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...thing on my desk, I'm like, "Hey man, the mailroom is...
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah.
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ..."that-a-way," you know, so I sent out a memo, like...
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeaaah.
| |
- |
| |
- | '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...to everybody.
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... yeah... oh yeah... ''{Homestar Runner stops talking and glares at Strong Bad. Strong Bad keeps on saying "Yeah". Homestar Runner walks away.}'' yeah... mmhmm...
| |
- |
| |
- | ''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting in front of his computer.}''
| |
- |
| |
- | '''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there you go, Jason. One of those ways should work. Though it couldn't hurt to steal his lunch from the break room fridge everyday. ''{stops typing}'' Mmmmm... Hot Pockets.

- | == Fun Facts ==
| |
- | ===Trivia===
| |
- | *According to the [[Quote of the Week]] clip, Homestar was originally going to say "I've been doing a couple of sets of reps, and then a rep of sets, and that's been working great for me."
| |
- |
| |
- | ===Remarks===
| |
- | *This is the first time we actually see Strong Bad "typing" with boxing gloves on; however, he seems to be doing little besides hitting the keyboard. Then again, he can also type by hitting the keyboard with his [[sisters|head]] and his [[funny|foot]], so doing it with his hands shouldn't be a problem.
| |
- | *After Strong Bad returns his right hand to the keyboard from the [[Double_Deuce|Single Deuce]], it remains motionless while his left hand continues "typing".
| |
- | *When Strong Bad gets out of his chair it makes [[The Geddup Noise]], when the chair is a chair with wheels.
| |
- |
| |
- | ===Goofs===
| |
- | *Strong Bad incorrectly types "every day" as "everyday" at the very end of the email.
| |
- |
| |
- | ===Glitches===
| |
- | *During Method 4, Homestar's eyelids come down once he realizes Strong Bad isn't really listening to him. When his eyes blink (like they always do every 4 seconds or so), there is a glitch where part of his gray outline is intruded on by white.
| |
- | **This also happens whenever Homestar squints.
| |
- | *In Method 4, When Strong Bad says "Yeah" as Homestar is leaving, his mouth doesn't move, but his mouth moves a second before he says "mmhmm."
| |
- |
