3Strong Sad decides to solve the mystery of the [=DNA=] Evidence once and for all.
4
5----
6!!Tropes:
7* AudienceMurmurs: The cartoon opens with Strong Sad trying to get the attention of a murmuring audience. Then it turns out the only other person in the room was Homsar, who was somehow making the crowd sounds all by himself.
8* BigWhat: When Strong Bad confirmed that the DNA evidence was Strong Sad's, Strong Sad lets out a baffled "Whaaaaat?!".
9* TheDogWasTheMastermind: It turns out that Strong Sad had been following the trail of the stolen DNA evidence so he could get it back.
10* EvilLaugh: Strong Sad laughs maniacally as clips of him spying on people talking about the evidence is shown at the end.
11* ForgottenFramingDevice: A rare in-universe example. Strong Sad forgets he's narrating his "detective work" for Homsar, not the audience at home and thus blabbed his whole involvement.
12-->'''Strong Sad:''' Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?\
13'''Homsar:''' [=AaAaAa=], these Easter pants are getting waaay too tight!
14* IAteWhat: Homestar drank the [=DNA=] Evidence upon finding it, mistaking it for a glass of Mountain Dew. He immediately [[SpitTake spat it out]] at The Cheat.
15* {{Malaproper}}:
16** When introducing the "Previously on Homestar Runner" segment, Homestar pronounces "previously" with a short "e".
17** Homestar refers to the DNA evidence as "Dan evidence", and mistakes the actual DNA evidence for a glass of "Mountain Dwe".
18* ParrotExposition: Twice, Strong Sad repeats what someone says to him and appends "Eh?" to it.
19-->'''Strong Sad:''' You left it on your desk, eh?\
20\
21'''Strong Sad:''' So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh?
22* PreviouslyOn: The cartoon opens with a recap of all the Strong Bad Emails that mentioned the "DNA Evidence" RunningGag.
23* TheReveal: It's revealed that the [=DNA=] Evidence is Strong Sad's DNA. Strong Bad wanted it analyzed to see if Strong Sad is part elephant or hippo.
24* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Coach Z admits to being Damp Towel Man, AKA Dan Towelman, and Bubs is implied to be his rival Dry Ragamuffin, AKA Dreyfus Ragamoofin. Strong Sad observes that Coach Z has "a sucky imagination".
25* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Bubs, Marzipan, and Strong Bad are all involved in something called "Toga Yoga".
26* TechnicolorScience: Parodied; the "DNA evidence" is literally just a test tube full of green goo labelled "DNA Evidence".
27-->'''Strong Sad:''' [[LampshadeHanging Oh, just like in the movies.]]
