Transcript

{The standard FBI warning text appears on a blue background.}

{The Cheat pops down from the ceiling, dressed as an art bandit, and mumbles some The Cheat noises. He places the Robotank stencil over it and spray paints it. Then he spray paints "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK" underneath. He waves and makes a contented The Cheat noise.}

Introduction

"La dee deleted!"

Introduction for Disc Five.

Cast (in order of appearance): Homestar Runner, Bubs, Strong Sad, Strong Bad, The Cheat, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Marzipan, Pom Pom, Homsar, The Poopsmith, The King of Town, Female Lappy 486, Nebulon, Cacodemon

Transcript

{Similar to the Intro, lights that resemble Homestar running appear. A 3D Homestar runs across, forming the words "HOMESTAR" and "RUNNER", while a chorus sings "Everybody, everybody!" A 3D Homestar Runner logo bursts onto the scene, rotates for a moment, and transitions to Homestar running across The Field. He runs past the Spooky Woods, The Stick, Bubs' Concession Stand (with Bubs inside), the Sports Field, Strong Badia, Strong Sad, The Cheat with Strong Bad (who gives Homestar the Double Deuce), Strong Mad, Coach Z, Marzipan, Pom Pom talking on his cell phone, Homsar, The Poopsmith with his pile of whatsit, and The King of Town with a sandwich, in turn. It then cuts to a closeup of Homestar.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing, off-beat} Everybody! La dee vee dee doh!

{Cut back to show that the scene is on the Lappy, with Strong Bad in front of it.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {singing} Everybody! La dee vee dee doh!
STRONG BAD: {singing simultaneously} Everybody! La dee deleted!!

{Strong Bad hits a key on the Lappy, which causes an explosion "DELETED!" effect, with a smiling fanged Female Lappy in the foreground. After a moment, the explosion fades and the Female Lappy returns to normal. The Paper comes down with the menu options. After some time has passed, it zooms in on the Lappy. The "maze" screensaver is in place. Every time a wall is reached, graffiti resembling Nebulon with "NEB-1" below it appears.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, man! You took so freakin' long my screensaver turned on!

{The next wall has a large red ball with horns and a face that resembles a devil.}

STRONG BAD: Whoa! A fairly disgruntled cackle demon!

{The screen melts away showing bloody letters reading "PICK SUMPIN ALREADY!" It then zooms back out to the menu.}

Bonus Menu Transcript

Did you just say bonus stuff?

{Again in 3D, the camera flies through the Rec Room past Strong Mad on the couch and The Cheat in the crisper drawer, both watching TV, on its way to the Trogdor arcade machine, on which the bonus menu is displayed.}

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

STRONG MAD: Did you just say bonus stuff?

{After a 30 second pause, the camera pulls back to reveal Strong Bad has walked up to the machine.}

STRONG BAD: All right, choosey, time's up, I'm playing Trogdor. {He plays.} Oh yeah, don't stop a-squishing. {He dies an in-game death.} Aw, man! {It's over screen shows up} What? What's wrong with this stupid game? {He pounds the machine. The camera then swings back to the menu.}

Inside References

• The Cheat spray painting "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK" is a reference to portrait.
• The DELETED explosion effect is similar to the "DO OVER!" effect from do over.
• The maze screensaver was first seen in technology.
• Graffiti reading "NEB-1" was first seen in New Boots.
• Cacodemons were previously mentioned in alternate universe.
• The Cheat in the crisper drawer is a reference to privileges.
• Strong Mad saying "Did you just say Bonus Stuff?" is a reference to caffeine.
• The back cover mentions interactive menus.
• The background of the DVD pause screen is from pizzaz.
• On the back cover, Strong Badman, after describing the disc's contents, asks for a Danish. This is a reference to superhero name, the email in which he originated.

Real-World References

• The "cackle demon"'s appearance is very similar to that of the Cacodemons in the original Doom video game. It was red, shaped like a ball, had horns and a demonic face. The font used for "PICK SUMPIN ALREADY!" also resembles the one used for Doom's menus.
