** Strong Bad's talk about being "Free to ketchup his eggs without being hassled by The Man" is a nod to Peter Fonda's monologue in ''Film/TheWildAngels'', where he says "We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man!".

In an old-timey history-book-style flashback, Strong Bad's story began in an age of strife, when he was being persecuted for his beliefs (such as that it's okay to put ketchup on scrambled eggs). On finding an ad for a "LOT FOR SALE" in the local paper, Strong Bad traveled to this "neu wirlde" with three stout sub sandwiches (The Ham 'n' Swiss, The Dijon Chicken and the Veggie Delux) and his best The Cheat. There he met "a man with strange ways and strange odors" (Bubs) who lead him to the vacant lot that would eventually become Strong Badia.

After a brief struggle with "the indigenous people" (read: The Cheat accidentally knocking the Tire over onto himself), Strong Bad sealed the deal with Bubs. Bubs then gave Strong Bad and The Cheat a quick lesson in "how to put fish in the ground with corn, for some reason", then the three all celebrated with a feast of leftovers from Hardees.
