* ScareQuotes: Strong Bad has a lot of fun with the sender's use of quotation marks around "videographer" by equating it to something shady. Strong Bad then says he is also involved in "many professions that have quotes around them".

->'''Strong Bad:''' Well [=McSwobert=], that works out perfectly, because "videographer" is just one of my many professions that have quotes around them. I'm also a "heart surgeon" (''photo of Strong Bad in his living room, wearing nurse's scrubs and holding a chainsaw''), a "licensed technician" (''photo of Strong Bad in a classroom, wearing a lab coat and holding a chainsaw'') , a "poultry farmer" (''photo of Strong Bad at a dining table, standing over a rusty dinner pan with a single chicken wing in it while holding a chainsaw''), and a "fireman (''photo of Strong Bad in the field, standing next to cans of lighter fluid and gasoline while holding a '''''flaming''''' chainsaw'').

A video media technologist from "It's Da Partment" wants to hire "To Whom It May Concern, AKA Strong Bad" as a "videographer" to videotape his wedding in August (hopefully Robert doesn't mean August of ''this year'').

->'''Strong Bad:''' But you could probably also get away with just putting a label that says "Weddin Tape" on a VHS cassette, since none-out-of-none couples actually ever watch their wedding video. Unless of course a baby drops an f-bomb, somebody pukes in their toupee, or Grandmaw Auntpaw rolls down the stairs in her wheelchair. In which case you simply post it online and turn it into Internet gold! And I can ''definitely'' arrange for some of that stuff to happen at your wedding, if you enlist my services as an "event coordinator". A-heh heh heh, heh-heh-heh-HEM.

'''Sender:''' Robert [=McSwain=], Video Media Technologist, ITS Department

A video media technologist from "It's Da Partment" wants to hire "To Whom It May Concern, AKA Strong Bad" as a "videographer" to videotape his wedding in August (hopefully Robert doesn't mean August of ''this year'').

->'''Strong Bad:''' Well [=McSwobert=], that works out perfectly, because "videographer" is just one of my many professions that have quotes around them.

->'''Strong Bad:''' Take family meatloaf night back to the ooold west! Did someone say ''sepia tones''?\\
'''Various Voices:''' Uh, no. I don't... think so. I definitely didn't.

Combined with an outlandish-enough title screen courtesy of Strong Bad's "sweet, sweet suite of video toasters", Strong Bad's videography work is sure to impress, and distract from the question of why a "video media technologist" didn't do it all by himself.

!!Tropes:
* AirQuotes: Strong Bad is involved in "many professions that have quotes around them".
* AmbiguousSyntax: Strong Bad gets a few jokes out of the fact that Robert didn't specify whether his wedding was ''last'' August (when the e-mail was answered in October) or ''next'' August.
* ChainsawGood: Strong Bad uses a chainsaw while performing as a "heart surgeon", "licensed technician", and a "poultry farmer". He uses a [[IncediaryExponent flaming chainsaw]] while working as a "[[LiteralMinded fireman]]".
* ForgottenAnniversary: Strong Bad helps Homestar produce "Video Evidence of Homestar & Marzipan's 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th Anniversary Celebration".
-->'''Homestar:''' Oh, twice! I'm a lavish gift-giver!
* LongList: Weddings? Bar-mitzfvfahs? Bar-Fvfights? First steps? Droopy drawers? You name it, I'll videographa... fize it!
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: During the "Jimmy's lacrosse game" segment, Strong Bad adds "His dad was totally there and not at Applebee's!"
