Sender: Josh CO
"Somekindaguy" from "Joshco! Makers of Funny Products and Funnier Slogans!" wants to know what the nightlife is like in Strongbadia, and if there's "any kinda hip clubs' and/or 'fun hot-spots" around.
(Cut to Strong Sad and Homestar Runner standing on a hill, with a carrot and a kazoo on the ground)
Strong Bad: Carrot and Kazoo Hill.
Homestar: Whee!
Strong Sad: Good times...
As for "kinda hip" clubs, there's always Club Technochocolate, which is not just a party club, but a "bona fide pwawty cloughb!" Before going out to "the cloughb", Strong Bad likes to take off his best shirt and douse his body in "the blood of slain warrior mammoths" (read: cheap body spray). When he gets to the entrance however, he has a little trouble getting past the bouncer.
Strong Bad: Come on, man! Drop the act! I've gotta get into the pwawty cloughb.
Strong Mad: (holding up a take-out bag from Blubb-O's) YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!
Strong Bad: The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!
Strong Mad: DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! (laughs)
Strong Bad: Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke? That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?
Strong Mad: NAME, PLEASE!
Strong Bad: Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt... Johnson.
Strong Mad: (unhooking the rope) NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON!
In the club, DJ Teh Cheat is spinning a song about drinks that may or may not be smart drinks, Strong Bad orders an overpriced cocktail (an eye dropper of fluid dubbed the "Pink Elephant Pants") from barman Bubs, and Marzipan and Strong Sad have a discussion on the simple pleasures of not-dancing. Homestar is asleep on his feet, dreaming about being a girl scout in Troop Beverly Hills, and Coach Z treats everyone to his attempt at freestyling, which mostly consists of him repeatedly counting to two. Finally, Strong Bad gets tossed out on his "leopard print hinders" after somehow losing his pants to the suction of the "lightèd floors".
(New Paper comes down.)
Tropes:
- Actually Pretty Funny: Strong Bad's reaction to Strong Mad cracking a joke at his expense is to admit "That was pretty good."
- Bait-and-Switch: When describing the sole "fun hotspot" in Free Country USA, Strong Bad phrases it "As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about... Carrot and Kazoo Hill."
- Brick Joke: A flyer for Club Technochocolate notes it's "not a club for technological chocolate". An Easter egg at the end of the cartoon has the King of Town heading a meeting of his own Technochocolate Club.
- Continuity Nod:
- Strong Bad visits Club Technochocolate.
- Blubb-Os appears to be the restaurant from which the Drive-Thru Whale comes.
- Coolest Club Ever: Club Technochocolate serves as one of these.
- Flat Joy: Homestar and Strong Sad express this while hanging out at Carrot and Kazoo Hill.
- Goofy Print Underwear: Strong Bad loses his pants and ends up in a pair of leopard-print briefs.
- Incredibly Lame Fun: Strong Bad describes "Carrot and Kazoo Hill" as a "fun hotspot".
- Insult Backfire: This exchange when Strong Mad denies Strong Bad entry into Club Technochocolate.Strong Mad: YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!
Strong Bad: "The list"? You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!
Strong Mad: DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! - Jerks Use Body Spray: While preparing for a night at the "cloughb", Strong Bad douses himself with body spray, which he insists to Strong Sad is "the blood of slain warrior-mammoths".
- My Little Panzer: "Joshco" apparently markets a toy called "The Stab Yourself".
- No Party Like a Donner Party: An Easter egg has Homestar at Carrot and Kazoo Hill, still dreaming he's a girl scout, only this time he and his troop are lost in the woods and about to resort to cannibalism.
- Pink Elephants: Strong Bad orders a cocktail called "Pink Elephant Pants".
- Piss-Take Rap: Coach Z's attempt at freestyle rapping is literally him counting "one two, one two" vaguely in rhythm, then stopping and starting over.
- Shout-Out: When Homestar is talking in his sleep while dreaming that he's a girl scout, he says he's from "Troop Beverly Hills".
- Talking in Your Sleep: Homestar mutters in his sleep while dreaming about being a Girl Scout.
Announcer: Mmmintroducing the Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt. Because you people stopped buying the Crispy Chicken Melt.
Homestar: Okay, girls. We're stuck in the woods, with no troop leader. It's time to decide who we eat first. (holds up the kazoo to his open mouth, like he's about to eat it)
King of Town: I call to order this meeting of Club Technochocolate. As you can see here, (holds up a computer motherboard covered in chocolate) I dipped this motherboard in 70% cacao!
