{We cut to a black background. As background music plays, we see the number 1965.}
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} In 1965, email was first created to be used by people with special kinds of computers. It was obviously phenomenal, and it later spread so everybody can use it.
{Then 1965 is replaced by the number 2001.}
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} In 2001, Strong Bad emails were first created with the email, some kinda robot. It created the most phenomenal feature on homestarrunner.com, made it popular for its email theme, made Strong Bad popular (too much), and later in the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki, fan based emails based on the Strong Bad emails were made.
{2001 is replaced by 2005.}
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} At the beginning of the year 2005, Shim-Sham-Sam, new to the wiki, started the Other Character Email Gunhaver with a humble beginning. As more emails were made, the email show evolved.
{Now we see the names of all characters who have Other Character Email shows on the Fanstuff Wiki, like Tampo, 1-Up, The Worm, Doreauxgard, and The Cheat.}
ANNOUNCER: {voiceover} And now, it has reached its golden airing, and by then, it is one of the most popular email shows ever. Here is what you've been waiting for.
{Then there is a white flash. Then we cut to a stage (the kind that models walk on), where there's a crowd cheering. Then we cut to Topato. A title box introduces Topato as: Jeff Rowland's Topato, Host. The title box shows that this is a show called: GEmail, Revealed.}
Topato: Hello, my name is Topato, one of the greatest potato superheroes of all time. And I'm here to host the {the following words Topato say appear behind him in big, bold, yellow letters} WORLD PREMIER OF THE 50th GUNHAVER EMAIL SPECIAL!!!
{Then we cut to Topato and Wedginator. A title box introduces Wedginator as: Wedginator, the Cheat Commando wedgie.}
Topato: Here I am with a character who was made in the GEmail show and makes occasional appearances, Wedginator. But that's a dumb commando name.
WEDGINATOR: But we've got the heart of a sailboat's poppa pie cream shoe!
Topato: Ah, you're right. But tell me, what do you think about the Gunhaver emails, which has been running for about six months?
WEDGINATOR: The peaces of winter have the last grime of the cornucopia concord ions!
Topato: Interesting.
{Then Reynold appears. A title box introduces him as: Reynold, civilian, douchebag and the one who doesn't go on missions.}
REYNOLD: How can you understand him? He talks in intelligible, poetic, and scrambled phrases.
Topato: {to Reynold} Oh, so, you're that loser Reynold from the Gunhaver email shows. Tell me, what do you think about Gunhaver's email show?
REYNOLD: Well, they're okay...
Topato: WHAT??? How can they just be okay? That's the best way to describe an Other Character Email that belongs to a character like {name shall be censored for now}, or an Other Character Email show that is horrible, and one character who has a horrible email show is {name shall be censored for now}. Okay? No, it is not okay! Compare the GEmail show to those email shows I just described!
REYNOLD: Well, you can't really ask me. I already have an email show.
Topato: Oh, really? Then solve this anagram?
{Topato takes out a piece of paper that says: topato.}
Topato: You get two chances.
REYNOLD: Um, that's your name.
Topato: No!
REYNOLD: The Ts have switched places?
Topato: No! The Os have switched places! You dunce, how can you not know that? Everybody can solve that! I hereby declare you, illiterate!
REYNOLD: My... I'm... I'm... I'm going to go sit by that corner over there and... sulk about... something that is bothering me at the moment.
{Reynold walks away.}
Topato: And while he is at it, here is a sneak peek from the GEmail 50th email special! Take it away!
{Then we cut to Gunhaver in front of the Delta 1001. He types ingunhaver_email.exe.}
GUNHAVER: {imitating cheering} Encore! Encore! Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba! Email! Email!
{Then we cut back to Topato at the GEmail: Revealed show.}
Topato: Wow! That was great! That was brain-breaking-shoving great! That was so numb-sullenly-I-don't-know-what-I-mean-great! I feel like interviewing the man!
{Then Shim-Sham-Sam comes. A title box introduces him as: Shim-Sham-Sam, famous author of GEmail and the greatest man alive(?).}
Topato: Okay, so maybe that title box was a little exaggerating. Anyway, how does it feel to be the writer of one of the greatest Other Character email shows ever?
SHIM-SHAM-SAM: I feel great. When I began the Other Character Email Gunhaver show, I didn't expect much, and the beginning was best described as humble. {zoom in on Shim-Sham-Sam} Then, BOOM! The email show evolved at around email 15 when Gunhaver gets the Delta 1001. Why? I don't know. I guess it's the same reason why the Strong Bad emails evolved when he got his Compy 386.
{Then we zoom out to see Topato is gone.}
SHIM-SHAM-SAM: Topato? Darn. I knew that Mr. Sticky should have made my answer to that question shorter.
{Then we cut to Topato.}
Topato: Before I interview the man himself, here is another sneak peek of the Gunhaver email 50th email special!
{Then Gunhaver (in front of his Delta 1001 in his computer room) presses enter to make the following email appear.}
GUNHAVER: Dear Mr. Haver...
{We cut back to Topato.}
Topato: That was SO AWESOME!
{Then Gunhaver comes. A title box introduces him as: Gunhaver, the email answerer and the greatest Cheat Commando alive(?).}
GUNHAVER: What is that question mark by alive in the title box for?
Topato: I don't know. It's because the title boxes are made by the author's opinion. Anyway, I have some questions to ask you before the 50th email special is premiered. How do you feel to have your email show be popular?
GUNHAVER: Oh man, it's great! Shim-Sham-Sam once sent me this picture that says my email show on the Fanstuff of the Week, and although I don't know what it means, I can be sure that it's good news.
Topato: So how does it feel to finally reach email 50?
GUNHAVER: I have achieved my goal, to reach 50 emails. I'm so proud.
Topato: What's the future of the GEmail show after that?
GUNHAVER: Well, only Shim-Sham-Sam knows, but he told me that the goal is to reach 100 emails, and that the next emails are going to be action-packed, funny, worthwhile to make and read, and some other stuff.
Topato: Next question. Do you think {name of a webcartoon shall be censored} sucks?
GUNHAVER: Yes.
Topato: One last question. Is the Delta 1001 going to last forever? I mean, it ran a lifespan of 36 emails so far, so it has to be destroyed sooner or later and replaced by a more advanced computer.
SHIM-SHAM-SAM: {off-screen} Of course! I knew that it should be replaced! I'm going to plan its demise and its replacement!
GUNHAVER: {to Shim-Sham-Sam} No! Don't! {to Topato} Curse you for even mentioning the Delta's probable fall! I would hurt you if Shim-Sham-Sam doesn't have a picture of you and his favorite Bonus Stage character!
Topato: Uh... I gotta go, gotta go! Before I do something stupid! But now, here is the 50th email!
{Then Topato flies away. Then we pan up to the huge screen above Gunhaver. The crowd cheers insanely as the screen counts down from five to zero. Then the 50th email starts.}
{We cut to a black background. Words in white bold letters appear as they are said.}
ANNOUNCER: And now...
{Suddenly, the screen blows up. The crowd groans insanely. Then we cut to Gunhaver, Reynold, and Gyro.}
GUNHAVER: What the crap is going on? Which one of you screwed up the world premier of the 50th email special that's so much anticipated??!
GYRO: Um... Um... {pointing to Reynold} He did it!
{Gyro runs away. Gunhaver glares at Reynold menacingly.}
GUNHAVER: Reynold, I am soooooooo {pronounced like sue} going to kill you.
{Then the credits roll by extremely quickly. Then we cut to a black screen. Then the Paper comes down, saying the following message that's contrary to the ordinary message.}
The Gunhaver 50th email special is coming soon. Until then, keep your pants on, and ACT like you are anticipating the 50th email you non-anticipators!
