Editing fan club

{{sbenav}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[Marzipan's House]] (Easter egg)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ah, fan clubs. Sweet, innocent, restraining order-inducing fan clubs. Don't get me wrong, fans are great. It's the addition of 'club' that totally roons it. ''{clears the screen}'' Which is the opposite of how it usually works. For instance: turkey = ''{the word is typed in a dull brown color; other voices groan}'' mrenh, turkey club = ''{the word appears in a rainbow of colors}'' mmmMMRENHhhhh! ''{the other voices cheer "Yay!"}'' But yes, there is a sbemail fan club. Its members call themselves 'Deleteheads' and in a chocolate-covered bit of Stockholm syndrome-esque irony, their president is brother Strong Sad!

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing at a table in his room. There is a notebook on the table. He is wearing a hat styled after a computer's delete key, which reads "Del" on it.}''

''{Cut to Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Cinderblock sitting across from him, all wearing the same delete key hats.}''

''{A screen of the Deleteheads website, called "The Delete-Heads Website", pops up. There is a pixelated picture of Strong Bad dancing, as well as links to "Our friend Scott's website".}''

''{The website screen drops off again, showing Strong Sad once more.}''

''{Scene cuts to either Senor Cardgage or Homsar, chosen at random:}''

*'''HOMSAR:''' ''{wearing a computer key hat that reads "Thump"}'' My name's Millions, and I'm a son of a Chipwich!

''{Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...Uhp, debate's over! Oh, and I just received confirmation today that Abdi LaRue, ''{scene switches to the view of Strong Mad and The Cheat}'' sender of the first ''{Strong Mad grins}'' Strong Bad Email, ''{cut back to Strong Sad}'' is a lock for this year's FHQWHfest.

''{A flier for "FHQWHfest '08" appears.}''

''{Strong Bad walks by, seen through the doorway, carrying an extremely long submarine sandwich. The sandwich continues to go by the doorway after Strong Bad walks off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{casually}'' Yeah... I'm not comin'.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Don't forget to bombard Strong Bad with emails on Sunday night. ''{thumps fist for emphasis}'' I think we should go with asking about Bubs's first wife. Some good potential there.  

''{At this point, The Cheat, still wearing his Deletehead hat, can be seen through the doorway, carrying the other end of Strong Bad's sandwich.}''

 

 

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

''{Cut to a sheet of paper. The words appear typed on the paper as Strong Sad says them.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' A Grade A Gray Day, ''{typewriter chime}'' a sbemail fanfic by S.Sad

''{Pan down to show the Lappy from the rear. Strong Sad's words appear above the scene as he speaks.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' The Lappy hummed quietly to itself.

''{The scene changes to show Strong Bad rubbing his chin and puzzling over the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiced by Strong Sad}'' Curious...

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ...said Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiced by Strong Sad}'' Very curious indeed.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{toward the camera, in his normal voice}'' Since that's totally the way I talk.

''{Cut to a shot of the Lappy's screen, showing the message "Your inbox has 0 new messages".}''

 

 

''{Cut back to a long shot of Strong Bad and the Lappy, with empty space on the left side.}''

''{Homestar walks in. After the word "striding", the words fade out and no longer appear at the top of the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiced by Strong Sad}'' Ahoy, Strong Bad!  

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ...said Homestar Runner striding casually into the room.  

''{Close up of Homestar.}''  

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiced by Strong Sad}'' You'll never have to answer another email again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

''{Cut to a long shot of Homestar with empty space on the left side. Twelve-Times-A-Day Man, who is Strong Sad dressed in a yellow mask and cape, with a logo reading "12X" on his chest, flies down from the top of the screen and lands behind Homestar.}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad, raising his arms in outrage.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...he said, putting on a bonnet, ''{a bonnet suddenly appears on Strong Bad's head. He tries to take it off with stiffened arms to no avail}'' and giving Homestar a deep-tissue massage.  

 

''{The Lappy flies up out of Strong Bad's way, as he raises his arms and approaches Homestar unwillingly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, this gon' be good!  

 

''{He turns his back toward Strong Bad.}''

''{A piece of notebook paper comes down. Strong Bad's words also appear as he says them, while dialogue appears in word balloons.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' INTO the MORONOSPHERE!! A deleteheads fan ''fiction'', ''{the following does not appear}'' because I have plenty of time to say both syllables. ''{the following words appear}'' By Strong Bad.

''{Cut to a rough drawing of Strong Sad sitting at a table, with a poorly drawn The Cheat and a drawing of Strong Mad that more closely resembles a large cardboard box with an angry face surrounding the table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiced by Strong Bad}'' "And that's why I like ALL them Star Tracks!"  

 

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ...said Strong Sad, an entire bag of Twizzlers falling out of his mouth.  

 

''{Cut to a drawing of Strong Sad being menaced by a long, snakelike sandwich with eyes and fangs. Two pieces of bologna are dripping from its mouth like saliva.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Suddenly, an eight-foot sub sandwich constrictor eng...sm...sploded ''{The caption "engsmsplode!" is added to the drawing, with a burst around the sandwich constrictor for emphasis}'' out of nowhere!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, who is very poorly drawn}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...whined Strong Sad,{{--}}

''{Scene changes to a drawing of the sandwich constrictor wrapped around Strong Sad up to his waist.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' {{--}}already up to his waist in braided hoagie roll.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Just then,{{--}}

''{The scene changes to show Homestar gleefully coming in from the left. His shirt and soles are missing, though he still has a star on his chest and his propeller hat. A leaf is covering his crotch.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' {{--}}Homestar traipsed in, naked as a jaybird.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning in close; Strong Sad has turned away with his eyes shut tightly}'' Hey 12 Times A Day Man, are you gonna eat all them Twizzlérs?

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ohh, grandiose! Very grandiose, indeed! Maybe fan clubs and fan fiction aren't so bad after all. In fact, I'm gonna go dabble in a little King of Town fan fiction right now.

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...said Strong Bad.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves, producing the Geddup Noise.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...said Chairscoot.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG SAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' ...said the New Paper.

*:''{Cut to a roughly drawn cartoon of The King of Town with a puddle in front of him, and an unknown substance splashed around his mouth}''

*{{wp|Stockholm syndrome}} is a condition where hostages show signs of empathy toward their captors.

*Both the summary of the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed and the [[YouTube]] description for this email read, "Strong Bad realizes fan clubs and fan fiction aren't be so bad after all."

*The word "engsmsplode" has [[Multiple Consonants|seven consonants in a row]].

*The "Homsar's Parents" Easter egg shows up even if the "non-sequitur champion" scene shows Senor Cardgage, and Homsar himself does not appear.

*Vector Strong Bad's "engsmsplode" comes out of his mask, rather than his mouth.

*Marzipan claims she could only do 11 paddleballs, yet in the Easter egg she's only seen doing 9, although she could have done two before the Easter egg started.

*Strong Bad's line "You can't just start making up terrible new characters" is hypocritical due to Strong Bad's own record of making new characters in the same manner, such as [[Stinkoman]] and [[Senor Cardgage]].

*Strong Bad's imitation of Homsar in [[interview]] stated that Homsar was "raised by a cup of [[coffee]]".

*The King of Town confessing to eating [[whatsit]] is an example of [[eating non-food items]].

*The Deleteheads website contains an animated GIF of Strong Bad's jig from [[lures & jigs]].

*Strong Bad being forced to wear a bonnet by Strong Sad is another instance of [[cross-dressing]].

*Strong Bad mentions "making some [[toast]]".

*"Geofire" and "Angelcities" are [[portmanteaus]] of the free web host {{wp|Angelfire}} and the now-defunct free web host {{w|Yahoo! GeoCities|GeoCities}}. However, there is an actual web host named [http://www.angelcities.com/ AngelCities]. GeoCities and Angelfire pages were notorious for lack of maintenance, often leading to any links found on the pages dying.

*"Star Tracks" is a play on the TV show ''[[Star Trek]]'', which is considered something a stereotypical nerd would be interested in. There are [http://www.amazon.com/Star-Tracks-Alexander-Courage/dp/B000003CT8 two] [http://www.amazon.com/Star-Tracks-2-Bill-Conti/dp/B000003CUD albums] of music from science fiction films, including Star Trek, which are called "Star Tracks".

*The {{wp|Chipwich}} is a frozen dessert consisting of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies and then rolled in chocolate chips.

*{{wp|Twizzlers}} are a brand of licorice-style candy sold by {{wp|The Hershey Company|Hershey's}}.

*The music during Strong Sad's fan fiction is later reused in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

*The non-sequitur scene is shown thus: Homsar's scene is the only one shown in the actual toon, while the Senor Cardgage version of said scene is accessible as an Easter egg.

*Like in the Podstar Runner version, before Strong Sad begins reading his fanfiction story, there is a brief cutaway back to the email's intro screen and part of Strong Bad's intro song.  

'''MATT:''' ''{quickly alternating between Homestar's and Strong Bad's voice}'' Okay, we're gonna talk at the same time.

'''MIKE:''' You sound like you're from ''Twin Peaks''. The Man from Another Place.

'''MIKE:''' The theme from ''A Summer Place''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, yes, no. In that order. ''{Mike laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah you are, you're the member of the fan club diaper-wearing-right-now fan club... dirty-diaper-wearing-also-right-now-on-top-of-the-other-diaper-you're-wearing fan club.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look, Mike, it is{{--}} I am a dedicated fan. I will do what I have to do.

'''MIKE:''' They're Deleteheads. Do you think those are that kind of soft foam that those cheese heads that the Green Bay Packers wear?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't like them, this is bad. It's bad. It's like, you never want to meet your fans, 'cause they're always gonna be these kinda guys. Lame dudes{{--}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Crazy, that sit around and talk about you, y'know. The cinder block's the only one at that table I respect. Honestly. That F{{--}} FHQWHfest? Have you ever been to one of those?

 

 

'''STRONG BAD:''' A fan fest?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, t{{--}} that sandwich.

'''MIKE:''' Next time, you should go{{--}} go to one of those fan things, bring me one of those sandwiches.  

'''MIKE:''' Oh, is that how they pronounce it in{{--}}

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's how I pro{{--}} I told him that's how you do it.

'''MIKE:''' Well, Strong Bad{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' He does.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That would be bad news. Though he tried to turn{{--}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, a warring{{--}} Two warring factions of ladies trying to get at my scrubbly chest hairs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You don't have scrubbly chest hairs, you have a very shiny sphere for a body.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, you just can't see 'em. It's blond, out of my roots. And who is this guy? Y'know, he just starts makin' up{{--}} And look, he's got the superhero thing where when you put a mask on, your eyes turn into whites. Like Batm'n's. ''{pause until the bonnet appears on Strong Bad}'' Get off! Get that bonnet off my head! Look, he turned me into an animatronic rob{{--}} massage-giving robot.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's not so bad!  

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look, it's one of those Thwomps from Mario 64.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{overlapping}'' No, we{{--}} we can talk about that, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So your body is shirt-shaped? So, your shirt is just a band of color, really?

'''MIKE:''' I{{--}} I would like to know, yeah.

*Strong Bad's convoluted insult refers to [[diapers]].

*Mike mentions {{wp|The Man from Another Place}}, a character from ''[[Twin Peaks]]''.

*Mike also mentions the {{w|Theme from A Summer Place}}.

*Strong Bad pronounces "[[Batman]]" as [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"|"Batm'n"]].

**Mike reminds Homestar to have Strong Mad dress up as a Thwomp for Halloween, which he does in [[Most in the Graveyard]].

*"[[Polymascotfoamalate]]" previously appeared in [[4 branches]], and its relationship with the Deleteheads caps likely refers to the [[Crazy Go Nuts University]] [[mascot costume]] being made out of "flame-protardant polymascotfoamalate".

*The {{wp|Green Bay Packers}} are a professional American football team based in {{wp|Green Bay, Wisconsin}}.
