&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{The scene opens in the Field. Folly enters and looks toward the camera.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; For the next April Fools&amp;#039; thing, why doesn&amp;#039;t it do, like, there&amp;#039;s a picnic...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{A rolled-up picnic blanket appears and unrolls itself.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ...and there&amp;#039;s like... and there&amp;#039;s a bunch of food in it...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{An apple, a sandwich, a bag of &amp;quot;CH&amp;#039;P&amp;quot;, a second sandwich, and a pie appear on the blanket.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ...and a picnic basket...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{All the food moves together and a basket appears around it.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ...and... &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{considers}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; then Bubs is like...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Bubs appears next to the basket.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY and BUBS:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{both waving their arms}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; And then Homestar shows up and says &amp;quot;blah&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Homestar walks up.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;HOMESTAR RUNNER:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Blah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; And then Strong Bad shows up and says &amp;quot;blah&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Strong Bad flies in from over the bushes in the background and lands on the blanket.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Blah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; And then everybody shows up and says &amp;quot;blah&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{The camera cuts back a little to show all the other main characters standing nearby.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ALL BUT FOLLY, BUBS, HOMESTAR, STRONG BAD, and THE POOPSMITH:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Blah!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut back in so those characters are offscreen. Homestar and Strong Bad are no longer present.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; And then Bubs is like &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m closing the shop! Nobody&amp;#039;s buying this picnic!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Bubs disappears into the basket, and the blanket rolls up around the basket and disappears.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; And then, and then, and then there&amp;#039;s a loading sign...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Scene cuts to a loading screen, using the same drawing style and colors as Folly. The letters of &amp;quot;loading&amp;quot; grow and shrink in sequence.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{voiceover}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ...and it loads for, like, one hundred seconds, and then, and then... and...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{A timer appears under the &amp;quot;loading sign&amp;quot; and counts the seconds.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FOLLY:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{voiceover, apparently unsure how to continue}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ...and it loads for one hundred seconds, and th—... and then it&amp;#039;s like... and... and then it... and then... and then it&amp;#039;s like... &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{the audio repeats:}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and it loads for one hundred seconds... and th—... and then it&amp;#039;s like...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{As the timer reaches &amp;quot;00:25&amp;quot;, abrupt cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is in front of the Lappier.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{rhythmically}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; If I can&amp;#039;t check my email, then how I&amp;#039;m supposed to live my life? &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{brings up an email}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;Dear Strong Bad,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;what do you do to keep up your personal&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;motivation and inspiration?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;Sincerely, Mollie B.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Strong Bad reads the greeting as &amp;quot;Dingle Dongle dear Stringle Bongle&amp;quot;.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Oh, that is a waste of a perfectly good middle &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; initial, Mollie! Lemme fix that for ya! &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{edits the name to:}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowdwerworth Gruelmanger &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{rhymes with &amp;quot;anger&amp;quot;}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. You know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{moves his cursor down next to the prompt}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; There we go. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; For motivation, I do what any great coach does, and berate myself until I get results or until I quit the team and press charges!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to the locker room, as Strong Bad shouts into a mirror:}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And I&amp;#039;m sick of losing to Purdue!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut back to show Coach Z standing nearby, twirling a jock strap.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;COACH Z:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Now that fella really knows how to mortavort a porson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut back to the Lappier}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; There&amp;#039;s also that weird jocked-up thing of punching yourself in the face to get motivated. But unless you happen to have boxing gloves for hands, I wouldn&amp;#039;t recommend it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to Strong Mad sitting at a table next to a glass of orange juice.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{He winds up his right fist, aimed at himself. Strong Bad leans in.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; No, Strong Mad, wait—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Strong Mad punches himself in the face and falls offscreen. Strong Bad winces as he lands. Cut back to the Lappier.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; But if you can afford it, no force is more motivational than...spiky ceiling that closes in on you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to the basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Sad is holding a video game controller and looking panicked, as Strong Bad coaches him and a spiky ceiling slowly descends over them.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; You better beat this end boss or we&amp;#039;re all gonna die! We&amp;#039;re all gonna die!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; OR WE&amp;#039;RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIII—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{One of the spikes pokes into Strong Bad&amp;#039;s head. Cut back to the Lappier.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; As for the inspirasche, you know how people always say, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{mockingly}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;quot;inspiration sneaks up on you.&amp;quot; Well, I like-a to turn the tables!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Homestar taking no offense to Strong Bad calling him a cult leader is similar to Marzipan&amp;#039;s response in [[coloring]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Real-World References ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Purdue University|Purdue]] is a university in [[Indiana]] known for their [[Purdue Boilermakers|athletic teams]]. Former Head Basketball coach [[Bob Knight|Bobby Knight]] of the [[Indiana Hoosiers men&amp;#039;s basketball|Indiana Hoosiers]] was (in)famously secretly [http://www.hark.com/clips/wvxhkxvpqm-angry-bobby-knight-tired-of-losing-to-purdue recorded] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/5/53/Exclamation_Mark.png/12px-Exclamation_Mark.png explicit language at halftime going on a profanity-laced tirade at his players in which he shouted that he was &amp;quot;tired of losing to Purdue!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Homestar&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;smawtboud&amp;quot; is a reference to [[Smart Board|Smart Boards]], a brand of interactive electronic whiteboards.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Always Be&amp;#039;sing &amp;amp; Do&amp;#039;sing&amp;quot; is loosely based on the &amp;quot;Always Be Closing&amp;quot; monologue from the beginning of the film [[Glengarry Glen Ross (film)|Glengarry Glen Ross]], especially Homestar&amp;#039;s signs.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Bubsmfort Inn and Suites&amp;quot; calls to mind Comfort Inn, a hotel chain owned by [[Choice Hotels]]. The yellow, orange, and red Concession Stand logo is very similar to the former &amp;quot;setting sun&amp;quot; logo used in its signage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fast Forward ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In a tweet made on [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2019|January 20, 2019]], Strong Bad posted a deleted scene from this toon describing the historical contributions of Mollie B. Chowderworth Gruelmanger.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Far out.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is &amp;quot;An April Fools&amp;#039; Day picnic wherein everyone says &amp;#039;blah.&amp;#039; A time honored tradition to be sure. I wonder if that new character will ever show up again.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|false autoplay image]] of &amp;quot;Falling Asleep Great with [[Yonder Website Character Variations|Character 1]] from Yonder Website&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a green bar on the right side of the screen throughout the entire toon.&lt;br /&gt;
* The length of time between the [[CGI Paper]] and the continued loading screen is shorter.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Easter egg plays automatically at the very end, instead of after the CGI Paper.&lt;br /&gt;
