Transcript

{As an arrangement of the Old Intro music plays, the screen reads "Telltale Games presents: An all-new cool game for attractive people." Static appears. Cut to Homestar, wearing a brown wig, shaking a TV remote around in Strong Bad's basement. Throughout the entire trailer, the characters speak haltingly and with little enthusiasm, as bad actors.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Aw man, this dang ol' remote control can only change the channels and make everybody speak Spanish.

STRONG BAD: {offscreen} Why not try this one?

{Cut to the entrance of the basement where Strong Bad is seen wearing a blond wig and holding a Wii remote. The Cheat appears next to him}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's that? {Strong Bad walks over to him. The Cheat jumps onto the couch} A futuristic candy bar?

STRONG BAD: Almost. {swaying his hips} Check it out!

{He starts waving the remote as clips from the game are shown. Clips include Strong Bad looking under a box, playing Snake Boxer 5, checking emails, and kicking The Cheat into the washing machine.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oooo. What game is that? The candy bar game?

{Cut back to the basement.}

STRONG BAD: It's "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People"! {Close-up on Strong Bad} But you can play too!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Voice over more clips from the game} Strong Bad, but this game seems to have all the cool characters from "homestarrunner.com".

{Cut back to Strong Bad in the basement}

STRONG BAD: That's right. And even the lame ones.

{Cut to a clip from the game where Coach Z is in the locker room}

COACH Z: {crying} Go, go away!

{Cut back to the basement.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {waving the remote around} I'm pointing, I'm clicking. It's like an adventure. {Crickets start chirping, Homestar smirks a bit}

{Cut to clips of the game where Strong Bad runs through various locations}

STRONG BAD: {Voice-over} You'll go to all the cool places we go in the cartoons—

{Cut back to the basement. Close-up on Strong Bad}

STRONG BAD: —in five totally awesome monthly episodes! {Jumps in the air}

{Close-up on Homestar}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Five episodes? Where do I buy them ats?

{Cut to Strong Bad walking into the computer room. The Cheat appears under the table}

STRONG BAD: That's the best part, Hom...star. {Placing his hands on his hips} It's WiiWare!

{Cut to a crudely-drawn version of the Wii menu. Homestar pops up without the wig in front of it.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: WiiWare!

{Cut back to the computer room}

STRONG BAD: So you download them over your internet-style connection! {The Cheat points to the outlet where the Lappy is plugged in.}

{Close up on Homestar with the wig again}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Get out of town! What are we waiting for?

{Close up on Strong Bad}

STRONG BAD: {Originally "June" before it was delayed until August} Summer of 2008!

HOMESTAR RUNNER: I got so excited, I forgot everything you just said!

{Cut to Strong Bad in front of the blue area from the beginning}

STRONG BAD: "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People!"

{Cut to Homestar, standing in front of the same background as the intro screen from the website}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Featuring Homestar Runner!

{Cut to The Cheat in front of a green background with "the cheat" written on it.}

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises}

{Cut to the three of them standing in the blue background where the game's logo appears on the left.}

STRONG BAD: Shut up. Five adventure-packed action-sodes. Available this summer. Only on WiiWare.

{A red box reading "and on PC" appears on the logo with a dodgeball sound effect. A chomping noise is heard. Cut back to Homestar sitting on the couch tossing a bitten Wii remote aside.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh, Strong Bad. I think we're gonna need more candy bars.
