{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, 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!

Easter Eggs

  • 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?

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • The cerebellum is the bottom rear section of the 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.

Trivia

  • 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."

Remarks

  • 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.

Goofs

  • On the closing screen, the contraction "it's" is misspelled as the possessive "its".

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 Megaman boss. A person riding a—

MIKE: Or Stinkoman Level 1 boss.

MATT: Yeah.

MIKE: Oh!

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