Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Joshua, NachoMan)

JOSHUA: Welcome folks to the "conquest" commentary with me and NachoMan!

NACHOMAN: Glad to be here.

JOSHUA: Alright, now this is the first of the "epic" emails.

NACHOMAN: I've always liked this email because of the fact that they just completely ignore the email.

JOSHUA: Yeah, well, I had this whole big email planned out for the email answered in "time travel", but then when I finished the first part, the rest of idea was too big to fit into the email. So I decided to save it for a later one. And luckily for me, I got a totally crappy email to waste so I could use this plot and still call it an email.

NACHOMAN: This email reminds me of the one with 1-Up and his Alpha-Bits cause it makes me think theres some code in this thing.

JOSHUA: Eh, the boss trio doesn't even try to figure this email out.

NACHOMAN: And then Tampo responds in the best way he could.

JOSHUA: Now, the email was supposed to end right there... but it didn't. That was pretty much the theme of this episode... so show the boss trio do stuff after the email was done. Although it doesn't really come off like that, but...

NACHOMAN: And here comes the time machine...part.

JOSHUA: And Tampo desides to send them to some seemingly random date, which just so happens to be the same as the release date of "gimmicks".

NACHOMAN: And now they split up. {pause} Here, I like the explanation of how the Tandy exploded. How does the laserball phase through the wall without Strong Bad noticing it?

JOSHUA: He must have been really focused on answering that email.

NACHOMAN: Eh, what?

JOSHUA: Staring at the computer so as not to notice anything away from the screen. Like a laserball.

NACHOMAN: And, Strong Bad's crappy computer dies. And the trio splits up, which is where the real carnage starts.

JOSHUA: Yep. Stlunko's all-knowing sensors sense no threat. Homsar's bowler hat must have some sort of super-stealth technology to avoid detection.

NACHOMAN: Heh, slealth technology. I know Super Sam's going to work that into his blog one time or another. Againyway, here's Homestar's part. I hate that freakin' mawshmellow.

JOSHUA: Tampo isn't a marshmallow, he's a muffin.

NACHOMAN: Brain muffin! {pause} Egg brain McMuffin? {coughs} Anyway, here's Marzipan's part. Tee-hee. Pancake Marzipan. Why am I obsessed with breakfast snacks?

JOSHUA: I have no idea. And here's Pom Pom's pain scene. It answers Strong Bad's long-forgotten question! Pom Pom wouldn't pop or explode, but simply deflate!
