Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Joshua, Markie&BurnBox)

JOSHUA: Alright Markie, we're ready to start commentating on "dark side."

MARKIE: {as Darth Vader, but badly imitating Super Sam} Luke, I am your father.

JOSHUA: NOOOOOOOOO- {voice breaks} Ahem... {clears throat} Really though, other than the name, this episode doesn't really reference Star Wars very much. At all. And the name really isn't my fault, the emailer used the words.

MARKIE: And that the emailer is called Soul Calibur III. And Zyves is a dead duck.

JOSHUA: {poor Strong Bad imitation} That's just nonsense. Are you trying to make some sense?

MARKIE: {imitates The Cheat's head exploding} Riiiiiiiiiight. Now I don't know about you folks at home, but here comes the end of some explanation and the beginning of the core. It's called- {bonk}

JOSHUA: We're not going to get to talk about this email, are we?

MARKIE: Aw, come on! I was getting to the good part. The...goodly...email part.

JOSHUA: Well, I wasn't aware that you were... getting... anywhere. At all. But you managed to kill some of the pre-email time. Tampo's just about to open the email.

MARKIE: HE IS?!

JOSHUA: YES! AND IT'S THE MOST AMAZING, UNPREDICTABLE AND TOTALLY ORIGINAL THING HE HAS EVER DONE!!! And it just so happens that you're here to experience it! {coughs} I never could figure out who the crap SC III was. It was this guy who kept on emailing Tampo, but he was just an IP address. Confuzzles me, those IP Address fans.

MARKIE: You know, I mentioned Soul Calibur III. But seriously, though. They usually put "Dear Tampo" before Soul Calibur III. Because Tampo is better than Namco.

JOSHUA: Yeah, no introduction is unusual. And there goes Tampo on his little rampage... why did you select this email anyway?

MARKIE: 1-Up was about to eat pudding. That was my favorite part. What about you, Joshua?

JOSHUA: 1-Up was a fun charcter to use. I enjoyed using his personality.

MARKIE: {as 1-Up} I want pudding! {as himself} Seriously, though, it's kinda mean for Tampo to be potrayed and then betrayed. By you know.

JOSHUA: Uh... right. And here, by changing one word, Zyves fixed the big problem. Hooray for Zyves-spies. Really... the boss trio gets betrayed back-to-back with 1-Up in "training" and then Zyves in "saargtsson." Rough.

MARKIE: Paradox: how can the Almighty Tampo be so DUMB at a time like this?

JOSHUA: You mean how could he think he could get 1-Up to join his side?

MARKIE: Probably.

JOSHUA: "I guess it couldn't hurt to try." That was his logic.

MARKIE: {looking at 1-Up spinkicking} Wow. 1-Up should be dizzy by now. Stupid gaming logic.

JOSHUA: You usually don't get dizzy until after you stop spinning. And you must be yelling pretty loud to not hear somebody nearby trying to get your at

MARKIE: Good gracious! The pudding gag strikes again! ...haha, so gullible.
