<span id="transcript"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline">Transcript</span> ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you tired of people using ''{Strong Bad gestures and -moji appears in shiny black letters}'' -moji as a legitimate suffix?

''{"Neith" pops up above the -moji in sharp red letters, and "are we" and a second -moji appears below as Strong Bad speaks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Neith-moji are we -moji!

''{Cut to a white background with animated blue tiles. Homestar Runner and Strong Bad float in onto the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Introducing new Homestar Runner ''{the label appears}'' SQUINTmojis!

''{Homestar and Strong Bad are converted into an amalgam of emoji signs. Homestar is a bathtub, siren, and a sake bottle and cup with blue stripes. Strong Bad is a red car, Do Not Enter Sign, a Japanese rice cracker, boxing glove, table tennis paddle, and musical notes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Guaranteed to give you the ''{pan slowly across the two emoji figures as Homestar and Strong Bad flash on top of them for comparison}'' ''slightest'' impression of a Homestar Runner character!

''{Cut to a yellow tiled background. A smartphone appears with a blue chat balloon reading "Hey bro, Wich is one sez 'jorb'?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Simply type them in...

''{A series of emojis appears consisting of a magnifying glass, a green lizard, a half-chopped cucumber, a green battery, another lizard, and a turtle is entered on the lower talk balloon.}''

''{Cut to Homestar's head. The word "SQUINT" appears squished as Homestar squints his eyes}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and squint those eyes up!

''{Cut to a comparison shot. The original Coach Z is labelled "ORIGINAL", divided by a line next to the Squintmoji labelled "SQUINTMO'". Above reads "0% SQUINTIFICATION"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' More...

''{Squintification turns up to 10%. The image becomes blurrier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, more anticipatory}'' More...

''{Squintification turns up to 25%. The image becomes much blurrier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, angrily}'' More!

''{The scene shakes and blurs to 75%. Both images are barely visible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, laughing}'' There we go!

''{A rubber stamp with the word "INDISTINGUISHABLE!" is stamped on}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Indistinguishable!

''{Cut to Homestar in the field. His propeller cap is on backwards and his eyes look saggy and tired. The corner reads "Actual Talk-Say"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{mumbling}'' I this one time I was hanging out with this kid, ''{pulls out a smartphone with a chicken head, siren, and a sake bottle and cup resembling Homestar}'' and he got a Squintmoji. And I was like, ''{pulls it away and squints very hard}'' "Hey, that's Homestar Runner".

''{He moves the phone further and squints harder. Homestar puts down the phone and smiles.}''

'''GENERIC ANNOUNCER 1:''' That's a great story!

''{Homestar's hat spins around on his head.}''

''{Cut to another white tiled background. Homestar, Strong Bad, The Cheat, the King of Town, and Strong Sad appear and are brought up to size}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' New Homestar Runner ''{the label appears}'' Squintmojis!

''{The "squint" part is squeezed as the five figures transform into figures comprised of emojis. Text appears as an announcer speaks.}''

'''GENERIC ANNOUNCER 2:''' "Oh jeez, squintmojis!"

''{The scene briefly goes dark and blurry in a squint, then back to normal}.''

'''GENERIC ANNOUNCER 2:''' Suh— somebody's already used that, right? ''{the music cuts out}'' We should check into that. Get Lawrence. Is he— is he still on the payroll? Lawrence?

''{Squintmoji Homestar is running through an emoji-sculpted version of the Field as "[[Everybody Everybody|Everybody! Everybody!]]" plays in the background. He encounters a Squintmoji Marzipan and stops abruptly.}''

<span id="trivia"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Trivia</span> ===

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Remarks</span> ===

* This cartoon was only categorized under [[New Stuff]] for a few days, until it was added to Shorts on August 31st, 2017, the same day [[Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold]] was added to Big Toons.

That almost looks like Coach Z!

* Originally, on the comparison shot, the Squintmoji Coach Z was labelled "Original" and the original Coach Z was labelled "Squintmo'". This was fixed by swapping the position of the original image and the Squintmoji image, though the goof can still be seen in the YouTube version.
* As a side effect of fixing the previous goof, the previous scene showed parts of the actual Coach Z being typed into the phone instead of emojis. This, too, was later fixed.

The background was also missing from the "actual talk say" scene, resulting in a plain white void.

<span id="inside-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Inside References</span> ===

* The message about Coach Z uses [[Internet Slang|Internet slang]]. Additionally, the mention of Coach Z being the one that says 'jorb' references [[A Jorb Well Done]].
* Homestar's account of using a Squintmoji reflects the "summer talk" he uses in [[The Baloneyman]].
** The disclaimer during this account reads "actual talk-say", an instance of [[Noun-Verb|using a verb after a noun in quick succession]].
* At the end, the The Cheat Squintmoji is partially constructed of a [[Cheese|cheese]], which The Cheat was previously compared to in [[huttah!]] and [[Date Nite]].

* Following the release of this toon, Squintmojis of [[Squintmoji Character Variations|numerous other characters]] have been shown on [[@StrongBadActual]].
* "Strong Mad versus Wind-Up Drinks", shown in the [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|YouTube autoplay thumbnail]], was released on [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)|Instagram]].

* The video's title is "Homestar Runner Squintmojis".
* Once again, there is a [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|false autoplay image]], this one depicting a video called "Strong Mad versus Wind-Up Drinks". Afterwards, the running Homestar emoji Easter egg plays automatically.
** [[The Brothers Chaps]] [http://www.brotherschaps.com/?p=6 blogged about collecting wind-up drink toys in 2010].
* As noted above, the Goof where Coach Z and his Squintmoji are mislabeled is still present.
