Transcript
{We go to Gunhaver in front of the Delta 1001. He types in the following.}
gunhaver_email.exe
GUNHAVER: Chewy, chewy, chewy, candy bar e-mail.
{The following email pops up on the computer screen as Gunhaver reads it as it says.}
Dear Gunhaver,
How you doin'? I have three quick questions...
1. What's the best thing you've ever seen?
2. What's the best thing you've ever done?
3. What's the best thing you've ever eaten?
-Mitchell Smith, Australia
GUNHAVER: Man! I have to eat those Australian steaks someday! Anyway, I don't know what the best thing I’ve ever seen was, but I know the worst thing I've ever seen. And that is the failed plot of the Limozeen in Space cartoon!
{Then we cut to Strong Bad, watching TV in the basement.}
STRONG BAD: WHAT??? How dare you insult the failed plot of the Limozeen in Space cartoon!
{Strong Sad walks in the scene.}
STRONG SAD: Uh, Strong Bad, that was a terrible show.
STRONG BAD: Go jump off a building.
{Then we cut back to Gunhaver in front of his Delta 1001.}
GUNHAVER: You may like it, but man, that has got to be the worst thing created! I mean, it's all so, retro. You know, like the 50s, 60s, and 70s. In fact, I have some words for retro, or Retroville,
{Suddenly, a notice pops up on the screen as the scene freezes, like in the Strong Bad email: sb_email 22.}
BANNED IN RETROVILLE!
{Then we cut to a newspaper, where we can see a news article.}
GUNHAVER INSULTS THE RETRO!
In an email program updated every week, a probably
Texan insulted the retro styles and culture and
other ungroovy stuff of Retroville. So obviously, Gunhaver
has to do some interviewing in the press conference
soon. Other than that, Gunhaver emails will be
postponed.
{Then we see another newspaper article.}
GUNHAVER INSULTS THE RETRO II!
In the press conference, Gunhaver said "You all
suck!" So, his punishment is to be imprisoned
in Retroville for quite some time.
{Then we cut to Gunhaver, who is in Retroville, which is a 50s, 60s, and 70s style city.}
GUNHAVER: Well, this sucks. How can I survive this place?
{Then a 50s style car comes with a hippie and a guy with long hair.}
Hippie: Peace, man.
{Then a skating waitress from a 50s restaurant comes, carrying a root beer float. Then the cast of the old Scooby-Doo cartoon walk by.}
GUNHAVER: You know what would brighten up this place? Star Wars.
{Then a Millenium Falcon lands on the street as Han Solo and Luke exit.}
Han Solo: Where can we have a root beer float?
GUNHAVER: Oh... my... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
{Then we cut to the Cheat Commandos Headquarters Playset computer room, where Reynold is typing on the Delta 1001 (we don't get to see a close up of the computer, just the view of the computer room).}
REYNOLD: So, that's why spring rolls are the best thing I have ever eaten. {Then Reynold faces the screen} So do know that I'll be answering your emails for the time being. Bye.
{Reynold leaves as the Paper comes down, saying: Click here to email Gunhaver (or Reynold) at: gunhaver@homestarrunner.com.}
Easter Eggs
- Click on the Paper to see this in Retroville:
GUNHAVER: So, have you guys ever heard of Palpatine, or speeders, or the cool stuff of the future episodes, like Kamino, or battle droids?
Luke: Nah, we're just the 80s with the horrible special effects.
GUNHAVER: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun Facts
- The email sent to Gunhaver is based on best thing.
- The "BANNED IN RETROVILLE", the newspaper articles, and the press conference are based on sb_email 22.
- Retroville is not based on the Nickelodeon cartoon: Jimmy Neutron (or something like that).
- Obvious references: The Scooby-Doo cast is from the cartoon, Scooby Doo. Han Solo and Luke are from Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI. The skating waitress is an example of skating waitresses from the 50s.
- Reynold will be substituting for Gunhaver for some time, but don't let this affect an Other Character Email Reynold, that is, if there is one.
