''{DVD intro: Here is a little cartoon we made to kick-off the 2006 Flashforward Conference in Seattle.}''

''{A podium is seen labeled "Podium Excellens". The audience is chatting amongst themselves. A spotlight pops open on the podium. Homestar begins rising up to the podium while making an elevator sound effect.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Voooooooooooooooo-ka-chuck. Ladies and gentlemen! ''{Squinting at the audience}'' Or... Gentlemen and, like... two ladies! Welcome, to the 2006 Flashback show! ''{Confetti appears, full stage lights brighten, and music from'' The Show ''plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{entering}'' Whoa, we're doing a flashback show?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I guess so.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awesome! I love a good cop-out! Now, let's take a look back at some of our favorite memories from previous conferences we've done.

''{Cut to Strong Bad seated at a table on which the Lappy rests. The Lappy is hooked to a projector. The slide reads, "Celebrating 15 years of PowerPoint dissolves" on a blue striped background with fireworks.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Celebrating fifteen years of the PowerPoint dissolve.

''{Strong Bad taps the Lappy's keyboard, and the screen dissolves to images of men shaking hands and several one-dollar bills, labeled "Shake on it!"}''

'''AUDIENCE:''' Ooooh!

''{Strong Bad taps the Lappy's keyboard, and the screen dissolves to a graph titled "Step 4: Money Dollars". The x-axis is Month, and the y-axis is Year. The maximum value toward the end is labeled "The Olympics!"}''

'''AUDIENCE:''' Aaah!

''{Strong Bad taps the Lappy's keyboard, and the screen dissolves to a page saying "Cleaning Crew Comes on <u>Wednesdays!</u>}''

'''AUDIENCE:''' ''{soft applause}'' Oh yes, yes! ...That time again. ''{soft applause}''

''{Cut to a flashback from a different convention, with a banner reading, "WHY TALK TO REAL PEOPLE?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome, to the 2002 MMOLOTRIPOIPARPG...! Er, what was I just talking about?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{wearing a viking helmet}'' Nerds. Geeks and nerds.

''{Cut to a stage with several logos displayed. The words "Hot Logo Awards" are across the top of the stage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooooh, nice pigtails. ''{Homestar walks on with a hot logo in front of the top half of his body}'' Whoa, hey there, booksmarts. You look like the type of logo that appreciates a nice caramel apple-tini.

''{Cut back to the Flashback show.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, that's some good times.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Too bad for you people the good times are over. 'Cuz we're about to stop talking, and some bozo's gonna start. And not the good Bozo either. ''{They begin to descend from the platform simultaneously.}''

'''BOTH:''' Vooooooooooooooo.

''{The scene holds on the closeup of the podium for a few seconds, and then switches to a wide shot. Strong Bad and Homestar are crouched behind the podium.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I think this elevator's broke.

''{Fade out.}''

=== <span class="mw-headline">Explanations</span> ===

* "Caramel Apple-tini" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of the words [[Candy Apple|caramel apple]] and [[Appletini|appletini]]. This cocktail is served at many restaurants; one recipe uses apple-flavored vodka, sour apple schnapps, butterscotch schnapps and sour mix.
* The three letters at the beginning and end of MMOLOTRIPOIPARPG stand for a [[MMORPG|Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game]].
** The "LOTR" stands for [[The Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Rings]].
** The "IPO" stands for [[IPO|Initial Public Offering]].
** The "IPA" stands for [[IPA|International Phonetic Alphabet]] or [[India Pale Ale]].
*** Thus, the entire abbreviation stands for '''Massive Multiplayer Online Lord of the Rings Initial Public Offering International Phonetic Alphabet Role Playing Game'''.
