'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader! ''{cool parents!}'' So and So! ''{student council}'' What's Her Face! ''{shop lifting?}'' The Ugly One! ''{prepaid lunch!}''

''{open to the girls standing in a hallway. So and So is carrying some textbooks}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I'm totally bummed that school is happening again this year.

''{short pause}''

'''THE OTHER THREE:''' SO GOOD!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Ya'll are so wack.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Wiggidy-wack?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nope, just regular type.

'''SO AND SO:''' Not me. I sat next to Brett Bretterson in math and he asked to study with me at lunch.

''{Hearts appear above her head and one gets pierced with an arrow.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{as the heart}'' Augh!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' You made Brett Bretterson up in first grade, he's not real.

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{Turns toward no one and says to thin air}'' Oh, Brett, there you are.

''{What's Her Face looks "weirded out".}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Thank you, you've filled out nicely too.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading the caption above What's Her Face's bemused expression}'' Weirded out!

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{walking obliviously toward the "Fighting Growlbacks Bottomless Spirit Pit"}'' Okay, let's go. ''{falls in}'' ''{non-speech bubble}'' Ahhh! ''{speech bubble}'' Go Growlbacks!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' When you fall in a bottomless pit, you die of starvation.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Okay gals, Quarterback is over there. I'm gonna go see if he has any plans for dating me. Is-a my unda-wears showing?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Yes ma'am.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Grood! ...I mean good. And great. ...Great and good. ''{walks away}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Teehee.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' We're cool.

''{A heavy weight and a sack of potatoes fall on What's Her Face and The Ugly One. These are labeled "NO pounds" and "YOU'RE NOT potatoes" respectively}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As the objects fall}'' NO! YOU'RE NOT!

''{Cut to Cheerleader standing beside Quarterman}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' So Quarterman, how's about you and me?

'''QUARTERMAN:''' How's about you get some brains?

''{A giant, [[Eyepatches|eyepatched]] brain mech, piloted by the Arrow'd Guy, attacks Cheerleader}''

'''ARROW'D GUY:''' CEREBELLUM'D!

''{Cut to the bottomless spirit pit, and the speed of the background music is cut in half and taken down an octave, lasting through the Easter eggs}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Little help down here?... Maybe some Lunchables?... Or a juice box?...

...I love you too, Brett.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' IT'S OVER!

<span id="easter-eggs"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Easter Eggs </span> ==

* At the end, if you click on the "o" in "over," you get a bonus skit with What's Her Face and The Ugly One trapped under NO pounds and YOU'RE NOT potatoes.

''{Cut to the scene with WHAT'S HER FACE trapped under NO pounds and THE UGLY ONE under YOU'RE NOT potatoes.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Cheerleader's gone.

''{Slight pause.}''

'''BOTH:''' I'll be the NEW LEADER!!

''{Pause.}''

'''BOTH:''' Okay, fine. I'll be the follower!

''{Slight pause.}''

'''BOTH:''' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' We really are cool —

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Shut up!

* At the end, if you click on the !, you get to hear So and So talk to herself some more.

''{Cut to the Fighting Growlbacks bottomless spirit pit.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Perhaps a single frito? ''{Pause.}'' Or a Rib-A-Q? ''{Pause.}'' Can someone send down my assignments? ''{Pause.}'' And Brett's assignments? ''{Pause.}'' Does anyone know what year it is?

<span id="fun-facts"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Fun Facts </span> ==

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

* The [[Cerebellum]] is the bottom rear section of the [[Brains|brain]]. Its function is disputed, but the two main theories are that it either functions as a regulator of the timing of movements, or that it is the brain's learning/encoding machine.
* Poly-Sci is short for [[political science]].

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

* This is one of the few Teen Girl Squad issues where something other than an animal or a person gets killed (in this case, the heart that appears when So and So mentions Brett).
* This is the first issue in which Cheerleader is killed.
* This is the first episode to lead directly back to the Teen Girl Squad menu.
* Cheerleader's shirt says "boys please".
* This is the quietest of all the Teen Girl Squad issues.
* This is the first issue where no birds are killed.
* The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Cheerleader hits it off with Quarterman. So-and-So has a date with Brett Bretterson in a bottomless pit."

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

* The title of So and So's book changes throughout the toon. At first it says "subject", then "math types", and finally "poly-sci".
** When she turns to talk to 'Brett', the "sci" part of the book title moves from the left edge to the right edge.
* Quarterman's legs are backwards.
* If deprived of nutrition, as So and So apparently was, one would die of thirst before starvation.

<span id="goofs"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Goofs</span> ===

* On the closing screen, the contraction "it's" is misspelled as the possessive "its".
* The toon transitions to the "it's over" screen slightly before So and So is finished saying, "I love you too, Brett".
* When What's Her Face says "When you fall in a bottomless pit, you die of starvation," the part of the red line in the word bubble is incomplete.

<span id="real-world-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Real-World References</span> ===

* "Wiggidy-wack" is a reference to the 1992 song "[[Jump (Kris Kross song)|Jump]]" by the rap duo [[Kris Kross]].
* [[Lunchables]] are prepackaged children's meals made by [[Kraft Foods|Kraft]] and [[Oscar Mayer]].
* [[Fritos]] are a brand of corn chips.

<span id="fast-forward"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Fast Forward</span> ===

* "Shoplifting" would make its way into the plot of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]].

* The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch the DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]])

'''MATT:''' Back again, comment style.

'''MIKE:''' It's the incredible commentary skills of Ryan Sterritt, everyone.

'''RYAN''': Hi. I made this cartoon.

'''MIKE''': Ryan, this is the— Ryan made this issue; that's why we've got him doing the commentary.

'''MATT''': Are you sure, guys?

'''MIKE''': Yeah, you were out of town, and I was sick, so I made Ryan do the whole cartoon.

'''MATT''': I remember making— I think I remember making this one!

'''MIKE''': No, you don't.

'''MATT:''' Hmm. ''{pause}'' It sounds like I have a bit of a, uh, sore throat in this one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it does. I— I don't remember it being as such.

'''MATT:''' Look, she's got her poly-sci book there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I never took poly-sci.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't know... Whoa. Oh no!

'''MIKE:''' I like the Fighting Growlbacks nickname.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should...

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I wouldn't mind making a Fighting Growlbacks shirt.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' For myself.

'''MATT:''' It could be a fantasy football team!

'''MIKE and RYAN:''' Ooh!

'''MIKE:''' That's true.

'''MATT:''' Umm... Are my undawears showing?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Matt anticipates— maybe you ''were'' there, maybe, when we made this.

'''MATT:''' See? See?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, wait, you could've just watched it though!

'''MATT:''' No!

'''MIKE:''' Because we put this on a website.

'''MATT:''' I've never seen this before!

'''MIKE:''' Ryan and I put this up on the web.

'''RYAN:''' It's on the net!

'''MATT:''' N—, no!

'''MIKE:''' Look at Quarterman! His locker has been laid waste to, it looks like.

'''MATT:''' That clearly looks like some kind of Mega Man boss. A person riding a—

'''MIKE:''' Or Stinkoman Level 1 boss.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh!

'''MATT:''' ''{in assumed voice}'' You never know its tire!
