History Recap / StrongBadEmailE197YourEdge

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Where are we? I suddenly feel so... easy to animate.

* PokeThePoodle: Strong Bad's recent shenanigans include "consciously deciding" not to re-inflate a basketball that had gone flat, or cleaning up after themselves after covering cardboard boxes in mayonnaise.

->(''Cut to a cross-stitched title card reading "THREE HOURS LATER"'', then to the basement in the dark'')\\

->'''Strong Bad:''' Another freakin' email, another freakin' email song!

Gee Tee notes Strong Bad and The Cheat "heven't" been up to any "shennanigans" lately, and worries they might be losing their edge. Strong Bad protests that he and The Cheat regularly make the cover of "Have Edge Times Magazine", with such antics as consciously deciding not to re-inflate a deflated basketball, "feathering" Strong Sad (because "tar is prohibitively expensive"), and covering cardboard boxes in mayonnaise for half an hour before thoroughly cleaning up after themselves.

After pretending to check the Internet, Strong Sad convinces Strong Bad that cutting a hole in your living room floor is indeed edgy, as is saying in the hole for a few days.

(''New Paper comes down, but can't be seen due to the darkness'')

->'''Strong Bad:''' Thirty whole minutes! Can you be-- yeah, okay, we're losing our edge.

Strong Bad declares to The Cheat that "pretend-we're-grandmas-baking" time is over (at least until "after this email"), and it's time for the two of them to "get our shenan on again".

The two soon acquire an "arsenal of edge-have-ry" that includes eggs, battle axes, toilet paper, lighter fluid, gasoline, a saw, and a casserole. Strong Bad stomps on the casserole while The Cheat saws a hole in the floor... which results in the two of them being plunged into the darkness of the basement, where just their eyes are visible. After Strong Bad tries to kick The Cheat in the dark and has some fun with ping-pong balls, Strong Sad enters the living room and wants to know what's going on.

'''Strong Bad:''' High-five, The Cheat! (''high-fives The Cheat'') Thinks we're losing our edge, pfft!

----

'''Strong Bad:''' Of course! I don't see how that could possibly be taken out of context!

* TheReveal: An Easter egg shows Strong Bad and The Cheat still in the basement, [[BrickJoke pretending to be grandmas baking]], when the lights go on, revealing they're standing on Strong Mad's head. "WILL YOU PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN?!"

* TrouserSpace: Strong Bad keeps a vast number of ping-pong balls in his pants for some reason.

-->"Some would say pocket, I say 'in my pants'."

* TarAndFeathers: Parodied; Strong Bad and the Cheat just "feather the crap" out of Strong Sad because the Cheat convinced Strong Bad that tar was too expensive.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Go away, Strong Sad! The Cheat and I are down here shenanigan-ing each other in the dark alone by ourselves!\\

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Oh, cool! I mean, we've got foot-stomp casserole down here, so we should be good! Could you toss down something to drink though? ...Strong Sad? Ah, never mind, we'll just drink that gasoline. Doesn't get edgier than that, right?\\
