== Transcript ==

''{Open on a shot of Strong Bad sitting near the window in the Smoky Office on Le Restige. He is reading a book titled "Things I'm About To Say"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi, folks. ''{he closes the book}'' I'm fantastic Strong Bad with an important seeming message. ''{he tosses the book offscreen}'' Five years ago, I drew a little dragon. It wasn't much to look at, but he captured the hearts and minds of dozens, nay, severals of internet viewers. I'm, of course, talking about none other than ''{cut to a sheet of notebook paper}'' The "S is for Sucks" dragon!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in rhythm}'' '''''A''''' long time ago 
'''''B'''''efore things got weird 
'''''C'''''ame a '''''D'''''ragon, a mighty dragon 
that '''''E'''''verybody '''''F'''''eared 
Now, G is for '''''G'''''iraffe 
And H for '''''H'''''alloween 
But, '''''I''''''m not '''''J'''''oking about 
This '''''K'''''ill-ill-'''''L'''''ing 
'''''M'''''achi- '''''N'''''a-na-na-na 
Na-na-na-na 
''{as if through a bullhorn}'' Na-na-na-na 
'''''O'''''h, pants will keep on '''''P'''''eein' 
And we'll raise '''''Q'''''uite a '''''R'''''uckus 
In case you haven't guessed by now 
The '''''S''''' is for Suckus 

The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks! 

The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks 
The S is for Sucks! 

''{children's voices yell the letters T through W with Strong Bad}''

T! '''''T'''''wo beefy arms! 
U! '''''U'''''neven style! 
V! Constabulate '''''V''''''s! 
W! '''''W'''''hat a pile! 
'''''X'''''cuse me Mr. Trogdor 
'''''Y'''''ou've run out of luck 
In case you haven't heard the news 
'''''Z'''''ee S is for Sucks 

''{children's voices join in and sing this part}''

Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Oh, Zee S is for Sucks! 

Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Zee S is for Sucks 
Croissant! Zee S is for Sucks!

''{Cut back to Smoky Office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinkin'. "What about Trogdor?" You internet types ruined Trogdor! Just like you did zombies, pirates, ninjas, and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah! And personally, I preferred that children's alphabet song to Trogdor's heavy metal song any day. ''{Trogdor's snout appears behind the blinds outside the window and Trogdor roars.}'' Waugh! Yes, sir! Sorry, sir! Right away, sir!

''{The following song is accompanied with black and white pencil-drawn scenes of lightning, the S is for Sucks dragon, the dragon attacking a lighthouse, the word "sucks" and a terrified captain at a ship's steering wheel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in speed metal style}'' The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks! 
The S is for Sucks, the S is for Suuuuuucks! 

''{Cut to an illustration of the S is for Sucks dragon with the caption "HAPPY TROGDAY, S is for SUCKS DRAGON!!"}''


== Easter Eggs ==

* At the end, click on the S Is For Sucks dragon's head to see a scene with Coach Z and his attempt at drawing a dragon (or "Wormdingler") in the locker room:

'''COACH Z''': ''{looking fatigued}'' Hey there, Wormdingler, I got youse this cupcake ''{holds up a cupcake}'' for your famous fifth birthday. ''{drops his hand}'' You don't need no consummate V's to be my bride. Oh, did I just say that out loud? ''{he looks around repeatedly}''


== Fun Facts ==


=== Explanations ===

* Strong Bad's comment about how the Internet ruined "zombies, pirates, ninjas and Strong Bad" refers to various [[Internet meme|Internet memes]] that have been popular over the years (including [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] itself).
* "Constabulate" (apparently used in place of "consummate") refers to a constable, a British police officer rank, emphasized by the "S is for Sucks Dragon" wearing a British police helmet.


=== Trivia ===

* This is the first time Trogdor has appeared in [[Free Country, USA]].


=== Remarks ===

* Strong Bad sings a song with na-nas as lyrics, which were listed as no. 2 on his [[bottom 10]].
** Similarly, he is able to put up with making a song for children despite demostrating how he isn't cut out for educational TV in [[for kids]].
* In the Easter egg, Coach Z's arms appear to be animated differently than they have been in previous toons. They appear to be drawn as a whole, instead of two separate pieces that are manipulated. Bubs's arms saw a similar update in animation style in [[nightlife]].
* Between the opening scene and the last Strong Bad scene, the background behind the window changes from a light gray to a pale blue.
* In many other toons, newspapers contain text that can be read if zoomed in on. In this case, Strong Bad's book contains only scribbles.
* The title of Strong Bad's book is an example of a [[Nondescript Nouns|nondescript noun]].


=== Fixed Goofs ===

* Trogday 08 on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]] linked to a [[404'd]] page because the link was misspelled as [http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogday08.ht7ml http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogday08.ht7ml].


=== Inside References ===

* The entire toon and all the dragons featured in it are a reference to the email [[dragon]], as well as to the [[Trogday (holiday)|Trogday]] holiday.
* The page title makes a reference to Strong Bad's replacement email-checking chair, [[Le Restige]], from [[the chair]], which is also the chair that Strong Bad sits on at the beginning.
* The music in the beginning was first heard in [[portrait]].
* This toon includes mentions of [[Pants|pants]], [[Peeing|peeing]], and [[Croissants|croissants]].
* Strong Bad uses a faux [[French]] accent and wears a [[Berets|beret]] and a [[Mustaches|mustache]].
* This is one of the few times Strong Bad is seen [[Strong Bad Wearing a Shirt|wearing a shirt]].
* Strong Bad saying "Yes sir, sorry sir, right away sir" to Trogdor is the same as what Homestar said to Pom Pom in [[from work]].
* The newspaper headline reads "top mark [[b/w]] long V".
* Strong Bad saying "I'm fantastic Strong Bad" is similar to "I'm regular Strong Bad" from [[unnatural]].
* The ghost representing Halloween is the same style as the ghost seen in [[space program]].
* Strong Bad's song takes place in front of a [[Paper Background|paper background]].
* Strong Bad saying "[[Larger or Smaller Number|Dozens, nay, severals]]" is a possible reference to [[suntan]], in which the announcer says, "minutes, nay, seconds" when advertising the [[Ab-Abber 2000]].


=== Real World References ===

* The metal song at the end sounds like [[Breaking the Law]] by [[Judas Priest]].
* The giraffe is similar to the mascot for [[Toys "R" Us]].


=== Fast-Forward ===

* Trogdor would later be seen in Free Country, USA again in [[8-Bit is Enough|8-Bit Is Enough]].
