Transcript
{Gunhaver is sitting in a chair in front of his Orange 02. He types run "gunhaver_email" while saying something.}
GUNHAVER: All right! It's time for my very first email! Uh, right.
{The following email pops up on the computer as Gunhaver reads it.}
Dear Gunhaver,
when did you first meet your cheat
commandos, and when did you
start fighting blue laser?
Brandon.
{Then Gunhaver types while saying what he's typing after clearing the screen.}
GUNHAVER: Congretulation, Brendan, or was it Brondan, Branden? Anyway, I first met the Cheat Commandos and started fighting Blue Laser, and it should be capitalized, you know, since it's all important, evil, and, uh, important, and all, as well as the first "when" in your email. It all started in the first episode of Cheat Commandos, when this guy went to the TV place and gave an idea, and there were no toys or playsets at all! So no one watched it, which is a shame, for it only aired once. Anyway, it was when animation was lame, and all our voices were done by one person, and a girl.
{Then we cut to a colored pencil drawn field. Colored pencil drawn/poorly animated and slightly fatter Gunhaver, Reynold, and Foxface walk down the field.}
PRESENT GUNHAVER: {voiceover} It was when Me, Foxface, and, what was Reynold doing with us?
PAST GUNHAVER: {sounds like Cheat animation Strong Bad} Why are you following us?
PAST REYNOLD: {has the same voice as Past Gunhaver's} I don't know. Change of pace.
PRESENT GUNHAVER: {voiceover} Anyway, Foxface and I were dating when we first met Flashfight, the leader of the Cheat Commandos, and Reinforcements, who was here because he was pretty old.
Past Flashfight (has a lame French accent): How would you like to join ze Cheat Commandos?
PAST GUNHAVER: Okay, but don't include Reynold.
PAST FLASHFIGHT: Well, Reenold can mop the base we're making. And that girl can buy make-up.
PAST FOXFACE: {sounds like Cheat animation Marzipan} Yay! {Runs off}
PAST FLASHFIGHT: ... Oh no! It's Blue Laser with, uh, his, evil!
{Blue Laser is there and begins talking in Cheat Animation Bubs voice}
PAST BLUE LASER: We'll crush the Cheat Commandos!
PAST REINFORCEMENTS: {sounds like Coach Z} Uh, no!
PAST BLUE LASER: Aw.
{Blue Laser leaves}
Cheat Commandos: We saved the day!
{Cut to the present with Gunhaver with his computer. He continues typing and saying what he's typing}
GUNHAVER: So, overall, the first episode sucked! It began on the second episode when things went, uh, better with playsets and toys, and those weird guys started singing. Anyway, thanks for the first email. I'll come up with a reward, someday, or maybe (never).
{The Paper comes down, saying: "Click here to email Gunhaver at gunhaver@homestarrunner.com".}
GUNHAVER: Homestar Runner? Who is that? Some sort of fan, or a website?
Easter Eggs
- Click on playsets and toys or weird guys to hear this:
MEN SINGING THE JINGLE: Cheat Commandos, we now have some fun stuff. Buy all our playsets and toys!
- Click on reward to have Gunhaver say this:
GUNHAVER: Fool, there is no reward! Take a look at stupid Abdi, never got an award. So, see ya!
Fun Facts
- Gunhaver forgetting the emailer's name immediately is a reference to the email anything, where Homestar forgets Dan's name and calls him Jerome.
- The voices being done by one person and a girl is a reference to Matt Chapman and Missy Palmer doing most of the voices in the website (excluding the Cheat Animation voices, which are done by Mike Chapman).
- Reynold saying "I don't know. Change of pace." is a reference to the email car where Strong Bad says the same thing to answer Strong Sad's question.
- Flashfight's and Reinforcements' voices are the same as their voices in my fanfics in fanfiction.com (I'm known as Homer Starrun.)
- Saying there's no reward for being the first emailer and Abdi are references to the email some kinda robot, where Strong Bad doesn't do anything special for Abdi for being the first person to email him.
- Congretulation is from the DVD email videro games.
- Reynold not getting to go on a mission is based on Shopping for Danger, where Reynold doesn't get to go on any mission.
- Gunhaver criticizing Brandon about his capitalization is like Strong Bad criticizing his emailers on their grammar.
