Strong Sad regales Coach Z with a story about Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero he made up.

* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Saddy Dumpington seems to think miserable and depressing things (like disasters and animal cruelty) are good news, and weird and silly things (like a "weird snake") are miserable and depressing.
* BrickJoke: Near the start of the cartoon, Strong Sad wonders what the rope Coach Z wants him to climb is attached to, and Coach Z brushes his concerns off with "Never you mind." An EasterEgg reveals that [[InexplicablyAwesome Homsar]] is floating in mid-air, holding the other end of the rope in his mouth.
* CatchPhrase: Saddy always punctuates his depressing statements with [[BadNewsInAGoodWay "Isn't that great?"]]
* ContinuityNod: Saddy Dumpington was first mentioned on Strong Sad's CharacterBlog, "Strong Sad's Lament".

* IceCreamKoan: While he never says it in the story Strong Sad tells, Saddy Dumpington was apparently fond of nonsensical folk sayings like "Ropes are for dopes."
* PersonaNonGrata: The mayor of the unnamed town banishes Saddy Dumpington to the wilderness for making everyone miserable and depressed.
* UnusualEuphemism: While trying to encourage Strong Sad to climb a rope, Coach Z tells him to "cram a little oom-pah down your pants."
-->'''Strong Sad:''' Look, I'm willing to ignore that "oom-pah down my pants" comment...
* WhatWouldXDo: When Coach Z becomes convinced he killed Strong Sad, he asks himself "What would the Dancing Brothers do in a situation like this?" The answer is apparently to dance away singing "Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight".
