[edit] Transcript
{Open to a static-filled screen, eventually focusing on Strong Bad in his room.}
STRONG BAD: Attention, Long Island! Do not attempt to adjust the jumbotron. And, do not attempt to adjust those trucker caps you're all wearing. Or wait, in fact, DO adjust them.
{Strong Bad holds up a blue trucker hat that reads "Naked Ladies" on the front.}
STRONG BAD: Everybody turn your trucker caps sidewise!
{He throws the hat off screen.}
STRONG BAD: Okay! Since they wouldn't let me on stage, and {winking} since the ladies demanded it, I give you, for two years running, the number one JAM OF THE SUMMER!
{The camera stops rolling.}
[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Explanations
- This toon was produced for Field Day Festival, a music festival featuring live performances from bands including Radiohead and the Beastie Boys, that was held on June 7, 2003. Toons featuring Strong Bad were shown between acts;[1] Everybody to the Limit was played with this short as an added introduction.[2]
- Strong Bad refers to Long Island because Field Day was originally planned as a two-day event in Calverton, New York. A last-minute change moved the venue to Giants Stadium in New Jersey, along with a schedule revision to a single day.[3]
- This toon was never officially featured on the site. It was first discovered after the Quote of the Week for May 24, 2007, was released, which had the filename "sb_fieldday.mp3".
[edit] Trivia
- When viewing the Flash file, the toon repeats itself after it finishes.
- There is no navbar on the bottom of the screen.
[edit] Inside References
- Strong Bad mentions his number one jam of the summer.
[edit] Real-World References
- A JumboTron is a large video screen made by Sony usually used in sports and entertainment venues and events. However, the genericized term jumbotron (sans capitalization) can be used to refer to any sort of video screen similar to the aforementioned Sony screen.
- The "Do not attempt to adjust..." line, along with the opening static effects, are from the intro to The Outer Limits.
