| <p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> Are you tired of people using <i>{Strong Bad gestures and -moji appears in shiny black letters}</i> -moji as a legitimate suffix?
| |
| </p><p><i>{"Neith" pops up above the -moji in sharp red letters, and "are we" and a second -moji appears below as Strong Bad speaks}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> Neith-moji are we -moji!
| |
| </p><p><i>{Cut to a white background with animated blue tiles. Homestar Runner and Strong Bad float in onto the screen}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> Introducing new Homestar Runner <i>{the label appears}</i> SQUINTmojis!
| |
| </p><p><i>{Homestar and Strong Bad are converted into an amalgam of emoji signs. Homestar is a bathtub, siren, and a sake bottle and cup with blue stripes. Strong Bad is a red car, Do Not Enter Sign, a Japanese rice cracker, boxing glove, table tennis paddle, and musical notes.}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> Guaranteed to give you the <i>{pan slowly across the two emoji figures as Homestar and Strong Bad flash on top of them for comparison}</i> <i>slightest</i> impression of a Homestar Runner character!
| |
| </p><p><i>{Cut to a yellow tiled background. A smartphone appears with a blue chat balloon reading "Hey bro, Wich is one sez 'jorb'?"}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover}</i> Simply type them in...
| |
| </p><p><i>{A series of emojis appears consisting of a magnifying glass, a green lizard, a half-chopped cucumber, a green battery, another lizard, and a turtle is entered on the lower talk balloon.}</i>
| |
| </p><p><i>{Cut to Homestar's head. The word "SQUINT" appears squished as Homestar squints his eyes}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover}</i> ...and squint those eyes up!
| |
| </p><p><i>{Cut to a comparison shot. The original Coach Z is labelled "ORIGINAL", divided by a line next to the Squintmoji labelled "SQUINTMO'". Above reads "0% SQUINTIFICATION"}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover}</i> More...
| |
| </p><p><i>{Squintification turns up to 10%. The image becomes blurrier}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover, more anticipatory}</i> More...
| |
| </p><p><i>{Squintification turns up to 25%. The image becomes much blurrier}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover, angrily}</i> More!
| |
| </p><p><i>{The scene shakes and blurs to 75%. Both images are barely visible}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover, laughing}</i> There we go!
| |
| </p><p><i>{A rubber stamp with the word "INDISTINGUISHABLE!" is stamped on}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover}</i> Indistinguishable!
| |
| </p><p><i>{Cut to Homestar in the field. His propeller cap is on backwards and his eyes look saggy and tired. The corner reads "Actual Talk-Say"}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>HOMESTAR RUNNER:</b> <i>{mumbling}</i> I this one time I was hanging out with this kid, <i>{pulls out a smartphone with a chicken head, siren, and a sake bottle and cup resembling Homestar}</i> and he got a Squintmoji. And I was like, <i>{pulls it away and squints very hard}</i> "Hey, that's Homestar Runner".
| |
| </p><p><i>{He moves the phone further and squints harder. Homestar puts down the phone and smiles.}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>GENERIC ANNOUNCER 1:</b> That's a great story!
| |
| </p><p><i>{Homestar's hat spins around on his head.}</i>
| |
| </p><p><i>{Cut to another white tiled background. Homestar, Strong Bad, The Cheat, the King of Town, and Strong Sad appear and are brought up to size}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>STRONG BAD:</b> <i>{voiceover}</i> New Homestar Runner <i>{the label appears}</i> Squintmojis!
| |
| </p><p><i>{The "squint" part is squeezed as the five figures transform into figures comprised of emojis. Text appears as an announcer speaks.}</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>GENERIC ANNOUNCER 2:</b> "Oh jeez, squintmojis!"
| |
| </p><p><i>{The scene briefly goes dark and blurry in a squint, then back to normal}.</i>
| |
| </p><p><b>GENERIC ANNOUNCER 2:</b> Suh— somebody's already used that, right? <i>{the music cuts out}</i> We should check into that. Get Lawrence. Is he— is he still on the payroll? Lawrence?

| <ul><li>Originally, on the comparison shot, the Squintmoji Coach Z was labelled "Original" and the original Coach Z was labelled "Squintmo'". This was fixed by swapping the position of the original image and the Squintmoji image, though the goof can still be seen in the YouTube version.
| |
| </li><li>As a side effect of fixing the previous goof, the previous scene showed parts of the actual Coach Z being typed into the phone instead of emojis. This, too, was later fixed.
