Transcript
STRONG BAD: I'ma gonna email you girl! Woman! {He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words} Won't you email me, Girl? Woman? {He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}
Dear Strongbad, Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of creepy how he walks around with no pants all the time. Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants! Tootles! Clancy
{Strong Bad skips everything between "Anyway" and "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}

STRONG BAD: Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never would my second paragraph filter {types "Run Edgar Jr."}, Edgar Jr.
{the Edga Jr. Splash Screen pops up.}
STRONG BAD: Oooh, look at him. He's one of them red-haireded rapscallion...wags. {hits a key and goes back to the email} But I think we can fix this up with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, Electronic High Tech Input Expensive Device! {holds up a permanant marker} I just need to shake up the expsensive... electrons here. {whites out a majority of the email with the marker}. {{mumbling} High tech... electronic device. {stops mumbling}
Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time. Get some. Msybe parachute. Maybe clown care, some ants! Toot Clancy
STRONG BAD: Now there's an e-mail worth answering. Some ants, toot. Tee-hee! {clears screen} So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said--
HOMESTAR RUNNER {wearing pants} Hey Strong Bad, check out my creepy pants! {pants start shining}
STRONG BAD: Eww, Homestar! {turns face away} What are you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: 'cause you said creepy pants all the time get some.
STRONG BAD: Get some what?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I dunno. Light bulbs.
STRONG BAD: {irritated} Light bulbs.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You know. Like in a lamp. Light bulbs! {pants shine again}
STRONG BAD: So... you put on some hot pants in hopes of getting some Light bulbs.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Gross.
STRONG BAD: Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. Or your lack, thereof. Daisy dukes aside.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: What are you talking about, Strong Bad? I wear long pants.
STRONG BAD: Um... no. From what I can tell, you have no pants and blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants, I wear long pants. Long pants! Long pants! {starts jumping}
STRONG BAD: Okay, calm down. I didn't mean to-
{Homestar jumps onto the computer desk and continues to jump}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Long pants, Strong Bad! Longest pants, longest pants! Everybody, everybody longest pants!
