Transcript

NARRATOR STRONG BAD: Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader {growth spurt!} So and So {school spirit!} What's Her Face {pity friend!} The Ugly One {psoriasis!}

{Open to the girls standing in the TGS field.}

CHEERLEADER: Hi gals! How ya LOOKING?

SO AND SO and THE UGLY ONE: SO GOOD!
WHAT'S HER FACE: {simultaneously} OKAY! {quietly, in a separate speech bubble} I mean, so good.

{Cheerleader gets out a fashion magazine reading "le girl".}

CHEERLEADER: I just picked up this fashion magazine with MORE HOT TIPS!

SO AND SO: w00t.

WHAT'S HER FACE: w00t.

THE UGLY ONE: w00t.

CHEERLEADER: Let's get started!

{The four girls walk to the left. A cloud gains a pair of eyes and a mouth and starts eating some birds.}

NARRATOR STRONG BAD: {imitating cloud} *chomp chomp*

{Cut to a different part of the field. The girls are standing in front of a boy twirling a basketball on his index finger and wearing a shirt reading "no 'i' in team".)

NO I IN TEAM BOY: You must be girls.

WHAT'S HER FACE: {thinking} I think I have a chance with this guy.

{Thomas the alien runs onscreen with a baseball bat and starts clubbing What's Her Face in the shins.}

NARRATOR STRONG BAD: BAT! BAT! BAT! BAT! BAT! BAT! BAT!

NO I IN TEAM BOY: What happened to her?

SO AND SO: {speech bubble only} Thomas hit her with a bat. {voice only} She got hurt.

NO I IN TEAM BOY: Let's date.

SO AND SO: I'm down.

{So and So and No I In Team Boy walk offscreen to the right. Cheerleader and The Ugly One frown. A vulture and a bat swoop down. The vulture grabs The Ugly One, and the bat grabs Cheerleader.}

NARRATOR STRONG BAD: SWOOP! GRASPED!

{Cut to another part of the field, where So and So and No I In Team Boy are alone.}

SO AND SO: I'm totally crushing.

{Arrow'd Guy suddenly appears driving a truck reading "CHILDREN" on the side, running over No I In Team Boy.}

ARROW'D GUY: CHILDREN!

{The music stops playing as The Ugly One and Cheerleader drop from the sky.}

SO AND SO: Where were you guys?

CHEERLEADER and THE UGLY ONE: We got jealous.

{Long pause}

SO AND SO: Let's get yogurt!

{The TGS music starts playing again. Cut to the girls walking right, where What's Her Face rejoins them, her knees looking rather bloody. They arrive at TCYBCBY yogurt. What's Her Face's yogurt is on the ground, and The Ugly One's has sprinkles in it.}

THE UGLY ONE: I got jimmies.

{Cut to an end card reading "its over!"}

NARRATOR STRONG BAD: IT'S OVER!

Fun Facts

Explanations

• Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by circumscribed red patches covered with white scales.
• "Jimmies" is a regional term for the multi-colored, cylinder-shaped style of sprinkles.

Trivia

• Before Teen Girl Squad was moved to Features, when this toon was still in the Shorts section of the TV Time Toons Menu, the synopsis read "So and So meets a boy as Cheerleader looks so good".
• This is the first Teen Girl Squad cartoon where none of the main characters died, and also the first where a secondary character has died.
• This is the first Teen Girl Squad toon where a character says something that was not put in a speech bubble.
• The YouTube description for this toon is "Hot tips lead to alien knee-bashings and jimmies."

Remarks

• When Cheerleader gets swooped up by the bat, the phrase on her dress changes from "Li'l brat" to "Huge bat".
• The word "Le" in the "Le Girl" magazine means "the" in French, but in the masculine form. The feminine form, which would correspond to "girl", is "La".

Goofs

• On the closing screen, the contraction "it's" is misspelled as the possessive "its."
• What's Her Face's "I mean, so good" word balloon has a white background, covering the lines in the background.

Inside References

• The page's title is "Teen Grrrl Squad!!".
• Blood is visible on What's Her Face's knees after being batted.

Real-World References

• The name of the yogurt place is a parody of TCBY, a chain of frozen yogurt and ice cream stores.

Fast Forward

• "I think I have a chance with this guy" would later become a song on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits.
