Sender: Costrick
Strong Bad: (singing) Oh, people can you feel me? Then email me. And also, please don't try to really feel me.
Costrick thinks that a super-awesome (or "sawesome") guy like Strong Bad should have a dictionary for his own words. Strong Bad agrees that most dictionaries just can't compete with "all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis". Thus, regular dictionaries are only good for helping The Cheat brush his teeth... or knocking out Homestar's teeth. For that reason, Strong Bad has concocted Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words. It boasts such features as:
- A generous coating of butterscotch sauce so the pages stick together, "which makes for way less words!"Strong Sad: Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!
- An entire chapter on suffixes, including all the great natural disaster suffixes ("This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.")
- Scratch 'n' Sniff stickers, because words alone cannot describe Strong Sad's considerable paunch and its considerable smell.Strong Sad: My paunch does not smell!
(Cut to the theater, where all the other main characters are gathered onstage, including Strong Sad himself for some reason)
Everybody Else: Yes, it does! - A lexicon of dismissive guttural utterances, or "gutterances", for all the annoying people in Strong Bad's life:Strong Bad: There's the "Pffgh!" sound, for Coach Z...
Coach Z: Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the fierld?
Strong Bad: Pffgh!
Strong Bad: The "aungh!" sound, for Marzipan...
Marzipan: Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?
Strong Bad: Aungh!
Strong Bad: And of course, the ever-popular "Graaauuughnck!!" sound for You-Know-Who.
Strong Sad: Talk?
Strong Bad: Graaauuughnck!! - Booby-traps, such as endless "see also" loops to distract lesser minds (like Homestar) and keep the power of the Strong Badian language out of enemy hands.Homestar: (sitting up in his pajamas, looking tired) "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also—- Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!
Strong Bad: And there you have it, Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. Available wherever fine made-up reference books are sold. Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. (gradually descending into baby-talk) Better go see if someone can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. (normally) Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do? (stops typing, glances at the bottom-left corner of the screen) Give 'em the goods, Compé...per.
(Strong Bad gets up and leaves, the Compé-per pops up. Fade to a page of words from the Strong Badian Jerktionary.)

Tropers:
- Baby Talk: At the end, Strong Bad has to go deal with "The Cheat training", so he ends up speaking this way
- Call-Back: Count Longardeaux from "record book" returns.
- Conforming OOC Moment: exaggerated when Strong Sad protests that his paunch doesn't smell, then is immediately seen among the cast chanting unanimously "Yes! It! Does!"
- Continuity Nod:
- Strong Bad once again shouts down the "Shut Up" Lady who first appeared in "bottom 10".
- Strong Bad makes reference to the Ab-Abber near the end.
- Everyone gathers on the stage from A Decemberween Pageant and "rock opera" to inform Strong Sad that his paunch does, in fact, smell.
- An Easter egg has Homestar at the movies wearing a viking helmet. From the soundtrack, he appears to be watching "City (Comma) State".
- Another Easter egg has Onion Bubs appear as a result on the Family Feud panel, to much enthusiastic cheering from the audience.
- I Take Offense to That Last One: Strong Sad will cop to having a paunch, but insists that it does not smell funny.
- It's the Best Whatever, Ever!: Homestar's reaction to the "'see also' loop" is "This is the best Choose My Own Adventure I've ever play-read!"
- Logic Bomb: Strong Bad is able to distract "lesser minds" (like Homestar's) with tricks like "an endless 'see also' loop".
- Malicious Misnaming: Strong Bad calls Costrick "Cross-stitch", then later "Caustic".
- Overly Long Name: Strong Bad's dictionary is entitled Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!, or "Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Talkwords for Saying From Your Mouth for short."
- Perfectly Cromulent Word: This e-mail is absolutely engsmsploding with increasingly ridiculous neologisms coined by Strong Bad.
- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: When Strong Sad claims his paunch doesn't smell, the citizens of Free Country USA (including, for some reason, Strong Sad himself) gather 'round to reply "Yes! It! Does!"
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: An Easter egg has Homsar trying to ask directions from the Tire with a "Learn to Speak Strong Badian" guidebook. His attempt inspires the Tire to just up and roll away.
- Shout-Out: A gag involves a parody of the poll results display from Family Feud.
- Teeth Flying: Strong Bad knocks Homestar's tooth out by hitting him in the face with a dictionary.
- Unsound Effect: When Strong Bad demonstrates how regular dictionaries are only good for "helping Homestar lose his teeth".Strong Bad: (throwing dictionary) Hurl!
Homestar: (getting hit in the face with it, knocking out a comically large tooth) Tooth!
(Cut to Strong Badia, with Homsar holding a book titled "How to Speak Strong Badian")
Homsar: (to the Tire) GrRrRraaauuughnck there, Rubbermaid! Can you redirect me to the nearest puke-valanche?
(The Tire bounces away.)
Homsar: (to the Tire) GrRrRraaauuughnck there, Rubbermaid! Can you redirect me to the nearest puke-valanche?
(The Tire bounces away.)
(Cut to Homestar at the movies, wearing his Viking helmet)
Homestar: This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucks-forest fire.
