Transcript

{Cut to a green field with very geometrical bushes. Strong Sad appears out of nowhere holding a cell phone}

STRONG SAD: {to phone} ...me? Wait, where am I now?

FEMALE VOICE: {over phone} I sent you X00 years into the future. Welcome to 20x6.

STRONG SAD: 20x6? So, is the world an anarchic dystopia, a millitary dystopia, a bueracratic dystopia, or a world that seems to be a utopia until you realize everyone's brainwashed and/or robots?

FEMALE VOICE: Couldn't the future be honest-to-good happy?

STRONG SAD: Happy?

FEMALE VOICE: Just see for yourself.

{Strong Sad turns around and sees rounded skyscrapers, ala Stinkoman.}

STRONG SAD: The future looks like a videogame.

FEMALE VOICE: Probably because of the Japanese invasion. But I've said too much.

{Strong Sad walks in city, watching Cyber-Gwen and a posse of Harujuku girls dance.}

STRONG SAD: {to phone} So how do I acess my email?

FEMALE VOICE: You just think about it. In the year 20x6, you don't even need a computer to connect to the internet.

STRONG SAD: What a brave new world. {Strong Sad starts thinking, and opens this email}

Dear Strong Sad
Seeming as everyone hates you, I like you.
No, really! I am a fan! Strong Bad can eat crap.
Because you are awesome!
Your Good Friend,
TotalSpaceshipGuy3

STRONG SAD: {speaking out loud, as if dictating} Dear One Hundred Percent Spaceship Guy to the power of three, comma, break, Thank you for the support, period. It is nice to have friends, comma, even if they are only on the internet and probably won't help you move or not get beaten by your psychotic brothers, end run-on sentences. Also, comma, Strong Bad, captialize proper name, does eat crap, period. His diet is filled with preservatives and monosodium glut-cake, spell check, period. I have a more healthy diet, comma, or at least I would if I didn't eat my own weight in Nutella, don't spell check, it's Italian, each day, period. I guess we all have faults, and that's final, period. Break, your friend from the future, comma break, Strong Sad. Miraclously send into past. {pause} I didn't think so. That was a waste of time.

STINKOMAN: {off-screen} Whaaat is a waste of time? Is that a challenge type of time?

{Strong Sad looks his right. He then looks down to see Stinkoman}

STRONG SAD: You look familar.

STINKOMAN: I'm Stinkoman, you dumb person. And this is Kidstar. {points to 1-Up, to his right}

1-UP: {cheerful} I'm 1-UP, and I like pudding! {turns away, looks sad} Angst Journal Entry, 0X/0X/X6: Stinkoman keeps calling me Kidstar. Why can't I tell him how much it hurt when he tears me apart like a broken angel of the night. Is my innocent love doomed? Also, out of pudding.

{Stinkoman and Strong Sad look over at 1-Up, then back at each other}

STINKOMAN: So, grey dude, did you by your time waste comment think you could be bad enough to save the President?

STRONG SAD: I don't know what you mean.

STINKOMAN: Then it's fiiiight time! {jumps and powers up} Doouuuuble Deuce!!!!!

{Stinkoman tries to smash Strong Sad, but Strong Sad runs away. I picks up the phone he had through out the scene but wasn't mentioned again}

STRONG SAD: {to phone} Get me out of here!

FEMALE VOICE: I can't! I'm not in control of you any more!

STINKOMAN: I'll chase you forever, plump one!

1-UP: It's true, he will! {sad} But he always forgets anniversaries.

STRONG SAD: Chased by a badly dubbed robot for the rest of my life! How could things get any...{disappears}

{Stinkoman and 1-Up stop. Long pause.}

STINKOMAN: Let's get pudding!

1-UP: I love you!!!

Fun Facts

H*R References

  • The world of 20x6 is based on the Strong Bad Email japanese cartoon and the game it spawned, along with my own twisted imagination.
  • Before 1-Up's name was known, he was dubbed Kidstar. Kidstar is a combination of Homestar Runner (as 1-Up is the 20x6 version of him) and the "you're just a kid" remark Stinkoman made in their debut.

Inside References

  • This email is part of a continuing plot-line that started with Danger.

Real World References

  • Dystopia is the opposite of utopia: a nightmare vision of the world. Dystopias, in popular culture and literature, are usually set in the future.
  • Cyber-Gwen is based on the American singer Gwen Stefani, who recently fell in love with Harajuku culture.
  • Harajuku is the name for the area around Harajuku Station in Tokyo, Japan. This area is famous for being a youth hangout where people dress in outrageous outfits.
  • "What a brave new world" refers to the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, about a dystopian future where people are genetically engineered and controlled via hypnotic phrases and numbing drugs.
  • Strong Sad meant "monosodium glutamate" or "MSG", which is a type of flavor enhancer. It really is only unhealthy if you're allergic to it.
  • Nutella is an insanely addictive chocolate and hazelnut spread from Italy. You can get it in the States now.
  • 1-Up's Angst Journal is a parody of Live Journal.
  • The line "Bad enough to save the President" is from the video game "Bad Dudes". The President in question is Ronald Reagen, so you would have to be pretty bad to save him.
