STRONG BAD: {typing} I had the same problem, Dewey-Smith. So I called in a professional to get the job done. Let's go see how he's dewing...um...doing.
{Strong Bad leaves his seat. Cut to Bubs working in the garage. Strong Bad enters into the foreground.}
STRONG BAD: So, Bubs, how is it coming?
BUBS: Oh, hey, Strong Bad. I think I'm almost finished. It took me a little while to figure out what I was going to do. {He steps aside to reveal what he's done.} Then I duct-taped an alarm clock to your VCR.
STRONG BAD: Duct-taped an alarm clock to the VCR... See, I never would have thought of that! Okay, there's some hairs that seem to be stuck in the duct-tape here. Was that on purpose?
BUBS: Oh... No! That's just left over from my first idea, which was to duct-tape The Cheat to your VCR. He wasn't into that.
STRONG BAD: Oh, I could have told you that, man. Well, anyways, thanks for your help, Bubs. And thank you, Cory... Dewey-Smith! So... Join us next week when we'll be duct-taping clocks to all kinds of different stuff.
{The Paper comes down.}

Commentary Transcript
(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)
MIKE: That's a reference to the TV show Jeopardy!
MATT: Yeah...
MIKE: I like how he says Dewey-Smith here. I've always liked that. Or, watch it! Oh, not that.
MATT: Not this time.
MIKE: Yeah. {horrible Strong Bad imitation} Dewey-Smith.
MATT: {as Strong Bad} Dewey, Dewey, Dewey. Dewey, Dewey.
MIKE: Oh, do the voice! Do Strong Bad's voice!
MATT: {as Strong Bad} Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey.
MIKE: I love to get Matt to do Strong Bad's voice.
MATT: Look, that's one of those, what do you call those work boards in the back?
MIKE: Pegboards.
MATT: Pegboards.
MIKE: My friend Tobin made homemade pegboard just by getting a piece of masonite and drilling the holes in just freehand and it was really bad and funny-looking.
MATT: So in, Mike, thi—
MIKE: Look, the No Loafing sign and his desk are—
MATT: There's also—
MIKE: —right there! So, apparently—
MATT: Wait, is that supposed to be the same desk?
MIKE: I dunno.
MATT: You mean Strong Bad's computer desk is in the garage?
MIKE: There's the same color wall. Well, it looks like it...
MATT: I don't believe you, Mike.
MIKE: Well...
MATT: I like that little, he's like {adopts semi-Strong Bad tone} "Aw, pshaw. I could've told you that." I like that.
MIKE: Wait, you—I like that.
MATT: {Strong Bad voice} Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, Dewey.
