Transcript

{The three are at the SuperCom.}

TAMPO: Let's hope we get one those... what do you call them? Ah, yes. "Good" emails.

{That being Tampo's email rap for the episode, another email is displayed, which Tampo reads.}

BRODY: A virus email?!

TAMPO: Uh, oh. We better get one of those virus killing programs or something.

STLUNKO: Do not worry. I already got one installed.

TAMPO: Good. Okay, SuperCom. Before anything bad happens, activate the vi-

{Suddenly another pop-up is displayed.}

{The percentage slowly begins to grow greater, one percent at a time.}

TAMPO: What? No! What happened?

STLUNKO: The virus may have downloaded itself.

BRODY: Well, um...

SUPERCOM: My highly advanced virus killing program deleted the original virus instantly. It didn't get to do anything.

TAMPO: Then how was it opened?

BRODY: Umm...

SUPERCOM: I got a command to open the attachment.

TAMPO: What?! Well, stop the download!

{At 28% download, the SuperCom attempts to cancel the download, but the following message flashes on the screen for two seconds with a buzzer noise.}

TAMPO: {sarcasticly} Great.

STLUNKO: We did not give you a command to open the attachment.

BRODY: Well, actually...

TAMPO: {turns to face Brody} What did you do?

BRODY: {yells, upset} I didn't mean to! I made a mistake! I was just curious what was in the attachment, that's all. I forgot that the SuperCom will listen to thought!

TAMPO: Ugh. Thanks a lot. What kind of virus is this anyway?

STLUNKO: {beeps} This is horrible. I scanned the virus and discovered it is the infamous RealityBendX Virus.

TAMPO: What does it do?

STLUNKO: After hacking into the computer, it can actually spread into the real world. It was first programmed approximately eight years ago; creator unknown. Attacks of the virus have been recorded as far back as X0 years ago, so it has been sent back through time. Every attack ended in the destruction of the computer that it had originally corrupted.

BRODY: What?! Destruction of the the computer? We can't lose our SuperCom! It's one of a kind!

TAMPO: Real world?! You mean, out here?

STLUNKO: Yes. We will all be attacked by the virus. Our forms, minds and world will be altered until the virus is destroyed.

TAMPO: Yikes! Okay, SuperCom, turn off!

{The SuperCom flashes the same message.}

TAMPO: ...okay. Well, can we shut down our power supply?

STLUNKO: That would not help. The virus is self-powering the SuperCom to insure its download.

TAMPO: Man, this is a nasty virus.

BRODY: Is there any way we can stop it?

STLUNKO: The known version of the virus can be stopped with any powerful virus blocker. That virus attacked and was deleted when the email was opened. But the virus that is downloading is more powerful than any known virus. The only way to destroy it would be to delete the viral control program when it reveals itself to the real world.

TAMPO: {glances at downloading pop-up, which now reads 94%} Well, can we go get shelter from the virus anywhere? Until we can attack it?

STLUNKO: Yes. There are actually anti-virus shields invented exactly for this type of virus. They should be strong enough. We have some in this building. Follow me.

TAMPO: Okay. C'mon, Brody!

{Stlunko quickly rolls away from the SuperCom, with Tampo following close behind him.}

BRODY: {calling out to Tampo} Wait! What about the SuperCom? {glances at the pop-up, now at 98%} I'm coming! {runs off}

{A few seconds later, the downloading pop-up reaches 100% and all the pop-ups close. Then the screen glows white for a few seconds, and then a large Atari Dragon, the viral control program, comes out from the screen.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: {in a very echo-y voice} Yes! I am free and have control of the most powerful computer in the world! With it, my forces will be unstoppable! Fly out, my underlings, fly and spread yourselves throughout the universe! Muahahahaha!

{Hundreds of smaller Atari Dragons, green Mrs. Bennedettoes, and flashing 'Lectric Boots zoom out from the growing SuperCom's screen. The screen fades to black.}

{The screen fades back to a storage room, where Tampo and Stlunko are. Stlunko's hands reach into a large container in the wall and pull out three machines that look like large, green, square microchips.}

STLUNKO: Here are the anti-virus shield projectors. It will float over you and create a virus-proof forcefield around your body.

TAMPO: Okay, whatever. Just hurry up!

STLUNKO: Okay. {puts one of his hands, holding a anti-virus shield, over Tampo's head}

{Brody runs into the room.}

BRODY: {panting} Hurry! Give me a shield! I don't want to be attacked by the vi-!

{Suddenly hundreds of little multicolored Atari Dragons and floating Swiss Cake Rolls burst through the opening Brody used, zooming past Brody. When Brody is visible again, he is horribly mutated by the virus: His legs are gone, replaced with a small coil. He has a red Stobat's head with six green antennas and one Grabbo Arm sticking out of his side. On his belly is a static television screen.}

VIRAL BRODY: {bouncing excitedly with coil} Em evol sniffum! Sniffum ekil i!

{The Atari Dragons and Swiss Cake Rolls charge into the wall on the opposite side of the wall, which tears like paper, letting them pass through.}

TAMPO: Brody! No! Hurry, Stlunko! Activate this thing and get one on you!

STLUNKO: All right. {squeezes the anti-virus sheild in his hand and then prepares to activate one over himself.

{The anti-virus shield creates a forcefield that begins to form a circle around Tampo just as a flood of "Ugly Birds" pours from the now Vector-style ceiling. They are covered in yellow-green goo. They pour over Stlunko before he can react, causing him to turn into a pixalated version of himself, with a pixelated Coach Z running in place on his attenna. His hands and the two other anti-virus shields are gone.}

VIRAL STLUNKO: {in lowering pitch} Cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... {becomes inaudible}

{Tampo is watching in fear as the virus carriers and pressing against his force field, which is still forming underneath Tampo.}

TAMPO: {scared} Hurry, forcefield, hurry!

{The forcefield closes up around Tampo just as one single little "Ugly Bird" gets inside, trapped with Tampo.}

TAMPO: {backing away from "Ugly Bird"} No! No! Get away from me!

{Tampo says centered in the forcefield, which moves around, pushing outside viruses away. The entire room outside is completely messed up by the virus. The "Ugly Boid" trapped inside the force field is pressed against the wall.}

TAMPO: You are not going to virus-ify me! {fires a laser ball at the "Ugly Bird."}

{The laser ball hits it, but only causes it to double in size. Then it charges straight at Tampo.}

TAMPO: No! No! NO!!

{The "Ugly Bird" flies right into Tampo, disappearing inside.}

TAMPO: Oh, great.

{Suddenly a purple portal opens on top of Tampo, and suddenly Trevor (2005-era Tampo) shoots out from the portal, out of Tampo's mind.}

TAMPO: Ouch! That felt weird...

{Trevor hits the anti-virus shield projector and sends it flying with him, out of sight. Unfortunately for not-infected Tampo, he passes through the force field when it flies up. Almost as soon as he gets outside, he turns into the Japanese symbol for "brain" and just stays there.}

VIRAL BRODY: Nhoj! Ekul! Kram! Wehttam!

{The screen pans up through the Vector-style ceiling to the room above, which happens to be the computer room. Trevor is standing here, dazed, still inside the force field. The SuperCom is now a Big Ol' Tree with a glowing screen in the mouth. In front of it is the Viral Controller, the large Atari Dragon. The effects of the Virus are visible everywhere.}

TREVOR: {shaking head} Where- where am I?

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Welcome to my new headquarters! I am your new master!

TREVOR: {confused} Huh? {suddenly it all comes back to him, his surprise is visible} Woah! It's all becoming clear to me...

{A piece of TGS-style paper flies accross the screen, with the text "FOURTH WALL BREAKAGE'D!" written on it.}

TREVOR: {points at the viral controller} You! You are not going to be taking over my creator Tampo's world!

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Oh, but I will.

{Suddenly an army of small Atari Dragons with Trogdor-esque wings zoom out of the SuperCom, right at Trevor. They plunk off the anti-virus shield and zoom past him.}

TREVOR: I said, you will not be taking over this world!

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Hmm... that's a mighty strong forcefield you got there. But will it be able to withstand... THIS?!?

{When the Viral Controller says "this," he shoots out a large, glowing, light-blue beam of energy from his mouth and right at Trevor. The beam hits Trevor's forcefield head on, causing Trevor and the forcefield to fly out of the room at a blinding speed.}

TREVOR: {fading away as he gets distant} AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhhhhhh...

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Muahahahaha!

{Screen fades to black.}

{Screen fades to a large, zoomed out view in outer space. Part of Planet K and its moon are clearly visible. Tampo's lunar warehouse is visible as a tiny building on the moon. Because of the virus, the warehouse is wavy, rainbow and growing weird appendages. A purple ring, the RealityBendX Virus, is expanding into space from the warehouse. There are some large, strange objects floating in the infected space, and more appear as the virus spreads further. Suddenly a tiny speck flies out of the warehouse and towards Planet K. A small inset appears at the bottom right of the screen.}

{In the inset, a close up of Trevor is shown flying through a purple, virus-infested space, still in the anti-virus sheild. Fortunately the shield seems to be keeping oxygen in for Trevor.}

TREVOR: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

{The inset grows to become fullscreen size. Trevor continues to fly in the purple outer space. He stops flailing about and calms down so he's just floating in the forcefield, still zooming away. Suddenly he runs through a flock of viruses, symbolized by Homestar Jrs. and Cheatcakes. Several of them stick to the outside of the forcefield as Trevor continues to fly.}

TREVOR: Ugh, get off of me, you weirdos!

A HOMESTAR JR: {in a creepy, baby-like voice} I want to eat your toes!

TREVOR: {sarcastic} Great.

{Suddenly Trevor's forcefield breaks through the viruses' territory into uneffected space. The transition is similar to someone jumping out of a bunch of goop. The Homestar Jrs. and Cheatcakes connected to Trevor stay attached.}

A HOMESTAR JR: {in same voice} I'm still gonna eat your toes!

TREVOR: Hey, look!

{Trevor points at a gap in the attached viruses, Planet K's surface and clouds a visable through it.}

TREVOR: Atmosphere!

HOMESTAR JRS: Huh?

{Suddenly everything becomes tinted red as the Trevor, his forcefield, and the attached viruses zoom through Planet K's atmosphere. The friction is causing searing heat on the outside of the heat-proof forcefield.}

HOMESTAR JRS: {in pain} Gaaaaaaahh! It's burrrrrnnnsss... buuurrrrrnnnnnnnsssss....

{The Homestar Jrs. and Cheatcakes become nothing more than charred remains, and they fly off the forcefield. Trevor, safe in the forcefield, starts approaching a large city.}

TREVOR: {bracing himself} This is gonna leave a mark.

{Screen fades to an outside view of Stinkoman's house. Then the screen pans out to reveal Trevor falling towards it. Then the camera zooms into a window in Stinkoman's house to show Stinkoman and 1-Up together in a large room. The room has a big pool full of brown, chocolate pudding in it. There is a diving board hanging over the pudding pool, and 1-Up is jumping up and down on its edge. Stinkoman is standing nearby.}

1-UP: {happy} Thanks for buying me this pool of pudding, Stinkoman.

STINKOMAN: {laughing; mushroom-shaped air blasts appear around his head} No problem, 1-Up! That sewer company sold me this pudding real cheap!

1-UP: {jumps high up and forward, past the diving board's edge} Wheeeeeeeeee!

{Suddenly a screaming, round, bright-green blur crashes though the roof and right into the pudding pool, causing a huge splash of pudding to go everywhere. Stinkoman jumps out of the way just in time. 1-Up gets splashed by pudding in midair and gets flung back into the wall, covered in pudding.}

STINKOMAN: What was that? What was that?! Some sort of falling challenge?

1-UP: {happy, leaning against wall} Pudding! Yay! {licks some off his face, makes a face and spits it out} This pudding tastes funny... {gets up and shakes violently, making the "pudding" fly off}

{Suddenly Trevor, still in the forcefield, climbs out of the "pudding" pool. The forcefield goes through the floor as he climbs up, but fortunately the "pudding" slides off the forcefield.}

STINKOMAN: {point at Trevor as he stands up} Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a CHAALLLEEENNGGEEE!?!

TREVOR: No, not really.

STINKOMAN: Oh. {droops disappointedly}

TREVOR: Hmm... you're... Stinkoman, right?

STINKOMAN: {suddenly happy again} That's right! That's the name of a talented fighter if ever there was one!

TREVOR: Okay. {points to 1-Up} And you're... Kidstar, right?

1-UP: {suddenly becomes annoyed} Eh, no.

TREVOR: Oh. Well, listen guys. I know you guys are evil, but I need your help! You see, there's this virus up on the moon that's going to take over this whole world if we don't stop it!

STINKOMAN: A challenge? Count me in!

1-UP: {happy again} Pudding? Yay!

TREVOR: Okay...

{Trevor grabs anti-virus field projecter from over his head and holds it in his hand. The forcefield stays put around Trevor, still being projected from the machine.}

TREVOR: Okay, let's see... Ah, here it is!

{He pushes a button on the machine and suddenly the machine spits out a little gray cube, which unfolds and expands to become another anti-virus shield projecter.}

TREVOR: Okay, Stinkoman. Activate this over your head. It'll protect you from the virus.

STINKOMAN: Alright.

{Stinkoman grabs the anti-virus thing that Trevor threw at him. He pushes a button on it and it floats over his head, creating an anti-virus shield around him.}

TREVOR: Good. And Kidstar-

1-UP: {yelling} Don't call me that! My name is-

{Suddenly the whole room is flooded with several different kinds of viruses. They move all around and then leave through the wall. The room is now horribly mutated, with a large portal where the "pudding" pool used to be, still spewing out viruses. Stinkoman and Trevor are safe in their forcefields, but 1-Up is now nothing more than a small container of banana pudding.}

STINKOMAN: {pointing to 1-Up the pudding, laughing with the mushroom-shaped air blasts} Ha ha ha! I warned you, 1-Up! I told you if you ate too much you'd turn into a pudding! {laughs}

TREVOR: C'mon, Stinkoman! We have to stop this virus! Come, look.

{Trevor grabs Stinkoman's arm and brings him towards the edge of the portal that used to be the "pudding" pool. Their forcefields go through each other.}

STINKOMAN: Whoa! Look at that portal! There must be millions of challenges to be had in there.

TREVOR: Yeah, see all these viruses coming out of it? It probably leads to the Viruses' leader! Let's go!

{Trevor jumps in, bringing Stinkoman with him by holding his hand as he goes. They disappear in the portal. The screen fades to black.}

{Screen fades to what used to be Tampo's computer room, but is now the Viral Controller's lair. The SuperCom is still a Big Ol' Tree with a screen in its mouth, and several other virus-related things are happening all around. There's a portal in the roof identical to the one in Stinkoman's house. A few viruses are flying around, going in it and coming out.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Muahahaha! This is too easy!

{Suddenly Trevor and Stinkoman fall from the portal, squishing a few viruses with their forcefields when they land on their bottoms. They get up quickly.}

TREVOR: Ha, I was right! Alright Stinkoman, see that giant yellow duck-thing? That's what we need to destroy.

VIRAL CONTROLLER: You again! Well, I never expected you to find your way back here.

STINKOMAN: {laughs at the Virus Controller} Ha ha ha! Is this the challenge? That must be the funniest looking challenge ever!

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Two against one, eh? That's not fair. {makes a loud clicking noise}

TREVOR: Okay Stinkoman, go for the- Stinkoman! Look out!

{Suddenly a giant Pac-Man like creature sticks out of the ground directly under Stinkoman, mouth wide open. Stinkoman disappears inside its large mouth.}

STINKOMAN: {inside mouth} WAH!!!

{The giant Pac-Man closes his mouth with Stinkoman and his forcefield inside and sinks back into the ground.}

TREVOR: Stinkoman! Okay, virus leader, that's enough! This ends here.

VIRAL CONTROLLER: And how do you expect to defeat me? You may have your forcefield, but I control this world!

TREVOR: Well, it just so happens that with all my experience against Strong Bad...

{Trevor pushes a button on his anti-virus shield projecter. The forcefield loses its oval shape and becomes nothing more than a two-inch shield around his body.}

TREVOR: ...I have mastered the art of...

{He grabs a pipe from the wall. Because of the virus weakening sections of the pipe, it breaks off. He holds it like a sword, and the tip of it is glowing purple.}

TREVOR: ...fighting!

{Trevor strikes a fighting pose}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: What an astonishing coincidence. It just so happens...

{The Atari Dragon's "tail" spreads out to become a long, flat line and two colored-in "The S is for Sucks" Dragon legs come out.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: ...that I...

{He sprouts two Coach Z hands, except they are purple.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: ...am also...

{His head becomes a black, fiery circle with an angry Doreauxgard-like face on it.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: ...a powerful warrior!

{Produces a non-pixelated "TrogSword" in his right hand and strikes a fighting pose.}

TREVOR: Yah!!!! {jumps at Viral Controller with the pole-sword held high}

{The Viral Controller outstretches his TrogSword and puts it in the way. Their swords clash. For about half a minute, the two continue in their rather-ridiculous looking sword fight. Then Stinkoman rushes in, still in his forcefield.}

STINKOMAN: That guy's stomach wasn't much of a challenge. Hey, you guys are having a challenge without me!

TREVOR: {straining under the pressure of the his pole-sword pushing against his opponents' sword} Stinkoman! Destroy the SuperCom in that big tree! If it's destroyed, the viruses will no longer exist!

STINKOMAN: Ha! This'll be easy. {charges up} DOUBLE DUEEEEECE!

VIRAL CONTROLLER: NOOOOOOOO!!!

{With a sudden burst of stregth, the Viral Controller pushes Trevor's pole-sword with his TrogSword that it sends Trevor flying out of the camera's view. Stinkoman doubles dueces towards the SuperCom and is about to hit when- WHAM!!! He is hit by a large, glowing, light-blue beam of energy, the same one that hit Trevor earlier.}

STINKOMAN: Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

{Stinkoman is sent flying right into the portal in the roof and disappears inside.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: Muahahahaha! I am now truly unstoppable! No one can de-!

{In a flash, the glowing purple part of Trevor's pole slices right through the Virus Controller.}

VIRAL CONTROLLER: AHHHHH!!!

{The Viral Controller flickers and becomes the large Atari Dragon again, except cut in half. His TrogSword is gone. The cut areas are leaking out pixels that disappear soon after leaving.}

TREVOR: Good-bye, virus controller.

VIRAL CONTROLLER: NOOOOOOooooooo... {voice fades away as the last pixels break off and disappear}

{Cut to Stinkoman's pudding pool room. Stinkoman is attacking viruses as they swarm around him and his forcefield. 1-Up is still a pudding container and the room is heavily mutated. Suddenly there is a flash of light and everything is back to normal, including 1-Up. Stinkoman anti-virus shield project deactivates and falls to the ground next to Stinkoman.}

1-UP: {upset} No! I am no longer the greatest thing ever created!

STINKOMAN: {upset} All my challenges are gooooone!!!

{Screen fades to the storage room with the mutated Tampo, Brody and Stlunko. The room is still in the same condition as it was when it was last seen, as is the boss trio.}

VIRAL BRODY: Syot dna stesyalp ruo lla yub!

{In a flash of light, the storage room becomes normal again, and the three bosses are back to normal, although rather dazed.}

TAMPO: Whoa... where am I?

BRODY: That was weird.

STLUNKO: I am hoping that the SuperCom was not destroyed, but the viruses being gone seems to suggest the SuperCom was sacrificed.

BRODY: What? The SuperCom? No!

TAMPO: Let's go check on it!

{The trio leave and the screen fades to the Computer Room, which is still virus-infested.}

TREVOR: Well, I'm glad I could save Tampo's world. I guess I'll go back to {sadly} being non-existant...

{There is a flash, and the Computer Room and SuperCom are back to normal. Trevor and his pole-sword are gone, and his now-deactivated anti-virus shield projecter clanks onto the floor. Tampo, Brody and Stlunko enter.}

TAMPO: Everything seems normal...

BRODY: {notices undamaged SuperCom} The SuperCom! It's okay!

STLUNKO: A quick scan of the SuperCom reveals that it is recovering from a strong virus attack, but should be fine.

TAMPO: Well, that's great, but who could have destroyed the virus?

STLUNKO: I do not know.

{A beep is heard.}

TAMPO: Huh? CameraBot? {approaches camera} Do you know who saved us?

STLUNKO: The CameraBot is fitted with the latest anti-virus shield software.

TAMPO: Really? Cool. You recorded the whole thing, didn't you, Camerabot?

{The CameraBot beeps again.}

TAMPO: C'mon guys, let's go watch what happened.

{The boss trio start to leave the room and the camera slowly follows. Then the screen fades to a close up of the SuperCom's screen. The classic pop-up is displayed. "Click here to email Tampo."}

Fun Facts

  • This is the first Tampo Email to have the same name as a Strong Bad Email.
  • This email was created in four sections.
    • Section 1: The part with the boss trio in the computer room. Written and publicized June 6th, 2005.
    • Section 2: The boss trio in the storage room to Trevor being expelled from the lunar warehouse. Written and publicized June 8th, 2005.
    • Section 3: Trevor flying through space to him and Stinkoman jumping through the portal. Written and publicized June 10th, 2005.
    • Section 4: Trevor reentering the lunar warehouse to email's close. Written and publicized June 12th, 2005.
  • Tampo wanting a good email in the email rap could be a reference to the previous email "sb emails," where Tampo gets allowed by a bunch of bad emails.
  • The virus email's attachment was added by Joshua.
  • When Stlunko mentions attacks of the RealityBendX Virus dating X0 years ago, he is refering to the virus attack in the SBEmail "virus" and also the several Other Character Emails and Wiki User Emails that involve reality bending virus.
    • Technically, the virus would have attacked X1 years ago. X0 years back from 20X6 would be 2006.
  • The use of Atari Dragons, "Ugly Birds," Swiss Cake Rolls and a Big Ol' Tree are references to Level 1 of Joshua's real game Homestar's Adventure, where those are the enemies.
  • Viral Brody's phrases are backwards. Mirrored, they read "I like muffins! Muffins like me!" and "Matthew! Mark! Luke! John!" and "Buy all our playsets and toys!"
    • The second phrase are the four gospels of The Bible.
    • The third phrase is the slogan of Cheat Commandos.
    • The use of the word "Luke" backwards is also a reference to the user Ekul, who purposely spelled his name "Luke" backwards for a username.
  • The phrase "I want to eat your toes" in a creepy, baby-like voice refers to a line by a little, creepy hot dog in Knox's Klaymation "Hot Dog: Part 2."
  • Stinkoman's line that he says as soon as Trevor climbs out of the "pudding" pool is from 20X6 vs. 1936.
  • 1-Up getting mad at being called Kidstar is a reference to Other Character Email 1-Up, where 1-Up recently learned about his real name and hates being called by his old, fake one.
  • Trevor calling the Viral Controller, represented by an Atari Dragon, a duck refers to the what Strong Bad says when you mouse over "E-Mail" on the Atari Main Page.
  • Pac-Man is a classic video game character with a large mouth.
  • Trevor saying that he has a lot of experience fighting Strong Bad refers to the Tampo Email "2005," where Tampo makes Trevor and Strong Bad rivals.
