# [[PhoneyCall Faking a phone call.]]
# [[FlippingTheBird Flipping him off]] [[OffhandBackhand without looking at them]].
# [[JustIgnoreIt Flat out ignoring them.]]
# [[NotListeningToMeAreYou "Yeah? Yeah... Oh yeah. Yeah. Mmm hmmm."]]

Jason writes in on some advice for how to deal with a dullard co-worker, and Strong Bad gives some helpful advice pointers on how to deal with the "crafty foe" that is the office dullard (played in this scenario by Homestar):

# * '''Method One:''' [[PhoneyCall Faking a phone call.]]
# -->'''Strong Bad:''' Oh! Oh, oh! Yes, yes, yes... Uh, so no, I'm still here, yes. Working hard. I've been synergizing all morning...
* '''Method Two:'''
[[FlippingTheBird Flipping him off]] Giving them "the single deuce"]] [[OffhandBackhand without looking at them]].
# * '''Method Three:''' [[JustIgnoreIt Flat out ignoring them.]]
# * '''Method Four:''' [[NotListeningToMeAreYou "Yeah? Yeah... Feigning interest in whatever they're talking about.]]
-->'''Homestar:''' So the next thing I know...\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah?\\
'''Homestar:''' ...Fredrickson from accounting comes up to me, puts this...\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Yeaah.\\
'''Homestar:''' ...thing on my desk, I'm like, "Hey man, the mailroom is...\\
'''Strong Bad:'''
Oh yeah. yeah.\\
'''Homestar:''' ..."that-a-way," you know, so I sent out a memo, like...\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah.\\
'''Homestar:''' ...to everybody.\\
'''Strong Bad:''' Yeah? Yeaah. (''Homestar looks annoyed and walks away'') Oh yeah!
Yeah. Mmm hmmm."]]
Mm-hmm...
