Strong Bad: (rapidly) Haselos, theselos, haselos, theselos!
Strong Bad's self-proclaimed main man "Endiment" Fullmer ("Just for the record, my main man is, and has been since 1987, Van Mundegaarde. And don't you forget it!") won't be able to check "Homestar Runner's Website" ("Homestar has a website?") for a while, and wants to know Strong Bad's prediction for what the greatest advancement of Strong Badia will be in the next two years.
Strong Bad's predictions for Strong Badia's future include:
- The population will have tripled to "Population: Tire, Bundt Cake Pan, and Coach Z" ("I'm takin' a leak!").
- The Stop Sign and the Cinder Block will have broken up.
- Strong Badia will have developed "a world-class hole".
- The Cheat will have finished the "Fireworks or Die" mural Strong Bad commissioned him to paint on the fence "like a freakin' year ago... Slowbie."
- The Tire will have won "the Title".
- Strong Sad will have somehow become even more whiny and annoying ("I don't like food anymore!")
Strong Bad: Augh! So annoying! Oh, that reminds me! I should probably go let Strong Sad outta the dryer. He's been in there since breakfast.
(The Paper comes down.)
(The Paper comes down.)
Tropes:
- 20 Minutes into the Future: Strong Bad gives his own account of what Strong Badia will be like in the then-projected year of 2005.
- Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: Coach Z is busy "takin' a leak" behind the fence in Strong Badia.
- Companion Cube: Apparently the Stop Sign and the Cinder Block are in a relationship, and the Tire is gunning to take "the title" from Strong Mad.
- Continuity Nod: Strong Sad is stuck in the King of Town's Grill, which as seen in "Where's The Cheat?" is where The Cheat lives.
- "Dear John" Letter: How the tire breaks up with the cinder block.
- Failed Future Forecast: None of Strong Bad's grandiose "predictions" for what would happen to Strong Badia in the next two years have come true, even over a decade after this email came out (with the possible exception of Strong Sad becoming more whiny and sarcastic, rather than just mopey and depressed... though they did at least attempt to dig a hole eventually).
- Hammerspace: Strong Sad is somehow able to fit under the lid of the King of Town's grill.
- Noodle Incident: After bringing up his "main man" Van Mundegaard, Strong Bad briefly reflects on "the times we shared."
- Parody Commercial: An Easter egg features a wrestling event promo for "Tire Madness".
- Ridiculous Procrastinator: The Cheat still hasn't painted the mural Strong Bad commissioned "like a freakin' year ago."
- Stylistic Suck: An Easter egg features a peek at "Homestar Runner's Website", which is just a fragment of badly-done HTML, with a badly-Photoshopped picture of Homestar as the background.helscome my wedsite.
its not done.
(Strong Bad heads to the laundry room, where he opens the dryer to find a very fluffy, very dizzy The Cheat)
Strong Bad: What the-?! The Cheat?! Where the crap did I leave Strong Sad?
(Cut to the King of Town's Grill, with the cover on)
Strong Sad: (from inside the grill) Uh, hello? Can anybody hear me? The Cheat has a really nice place in here... and none of his shirts fit me.
Narrator: (echoing) Revenge... vengeance... vengeful... revengeanceful... This Sunday, watch as Strong Mad attempts to reclaim the Title from Strong Badia heavyweight champion, The Tire. Tire Madness! Only on pay-per-view!
