'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Dah doh, doo doh, email me some words, doo-doo, some different words.

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad,<br />
<br />
I think you should make Homestar say<br />
stupid stuff, his voice is hilarious!<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Kevin Grumbles</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad grumbles instead of saying the word "Grumbles".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you don't really have to MAKE Homestar say stupid stuff, ''{grumbles again as he types "Grumbles"}'',  that's the guy's bread n' butter. Or at least his, uh, cracker n' mustard. No, the REAL challenge is to get Homestar to say something intelligent. ''{He clears the screen and continues typing.}'' If I can do that, then you owe me a batch of your special Grumblecakes. And if I fail, then I'll quit stealing the bricks from your house, one by one. ''{quickly}'' Deal? Deal.

''{Strong Bad goes to get up from his chair and Homestar Runner is leaning over his shoulder.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quietly}'' Hi, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{surprised}'' Ah, geez! Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, do you notice anything different about me today?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, you broke into my house?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm always doing that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apparently unperturbed}'' Okay, what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing on one foot}'' I'm standing on one foot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, great. Look, I'll give you half a Grumblecake if you can say something intelligent.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's like a little cake with some, like, steam and sugar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, the other one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, "intelligent"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, Intellivision.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, something smart.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I can do that. ''{attempts to look shifty and cunning}'' What's in it for me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Half a Grumblecake!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Okay, here goes. A—

'''STRONG BAD:''' No wait, put this stuff on. It'll add to the illusion.

''{Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner a white lab coat, black-rimmed glasses with masking tape, and a test tube. Homestar uses the test tube as if it was a microphone and he was interviewing Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, check me out, Strong Bad, I look a-smart!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You sure do, stupid. Now say something.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{smugly} And'' I'm standing on one foot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{urging}'' Come on, say something smart! You can do it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Science!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, that's pretty good. Keep going!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Science again! I said science again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's move away from science. Try math.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Plus two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, this isn't going—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hundred!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans}'' I need to get my hands on some of them Grumblecakes! Maybe if I employ a little reverse psychologies... If I ask a stupid enough question, I'll get an intelligent answer! ''{clears throat}'' I say there, Homestar, butt's twelve by pies?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, yes! I got Strong Bad to say something stupid! ''{triumphantly}'' The Grumblecakes will be mine!

''{Homestar runs off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! What the crap just happened?! Is it possible that I was just... ''outsmarted'' by Homestar Runner?! ''{typing, shouting, and raising his fist}'' I'LL GET YOU KEVIN ''{grumbles as he types "GRUMBLES!!!"}'' 

''{The Cheat enters with a tray of The Cheatcakes.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' 

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get that mess outta here! I don't want none o' those Cheatcakes! 

''{Strong Bad smacks the tray of The Cheatcakes out of The Cheat's hands.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat exits dejectedly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{apologetically}'' No, wait, The Cheat, come back! 

''{The Cheat comes back}'' 

'''STRONG BAD:''' Will you, um, fix me some... mustard crackers?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat exits again. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#hypou blade|hypou blade]]".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to get Homestar to say something intelligent. Somehow this will get him some fresh Grumblecakes."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad seemingly [[Hammerspace|pulls the lab coat, glasses and test tube out of nowhere]]. Further, the coat seems to be made specifically for Homestar, as it has [[lack of visible arms|no sleeves]].

===Goofs=== 
*When Strong Bad and Homestar are talking, the Compy still has what Strong Bad typed, yet when he goes to type again, it's all missing.

===Glitches===
*The Grumblecakes song will not stop if the Easter egg is closed.
*Continually clicking the Cheatcake at the end will make the song play over the top of itself.

===Inside References===

*Strong Bad's question is "[[Butts]] twelve by [[pie]]s?"
*Strong Bad notes that Homestar [[Breaking and Entering|broke into]] his house. Homestar admits that he's always doing that.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Intellivision|Intellivision]] was a game console from the Atari 2600 era.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad later admits in [[do over]] that he wishes he had tried a Cheatcake because "those things looked a-pretty good!"
*Strong Bad tapes his Grumblecakes song over the Cheatcakes jingle in the [[time capsule]] Easter egg.
*In [[4 branches]], Homestar saying intelligent things is discussed in the third branch of the Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done.

== DVD Version ==
