Recap / Homestar Runner Drive Thru

Go To

Strong Bad and The Cheat's experiments with an air-powered rocket are interrupted by a drive-thru speaker inexplicably standing in the middle of The Field.


Tropes:

  • Brick Joke: Strong Bad hopes that his model rocket will go all the way to Europa and come back with some "Europa-pean lobsters". Near the end of the cartoon, the rocket returns and a purple alien lobster falls out.
  • Crying Critters: The Cheat cries over not getting a blue toy with his "crappy toy meal".
  • Mind Screw: Even by the standards of Homestar Runner, a disembodied drive-thru fast food speaker inexplicably appearing in the Field is strange.
  • Never My Fault: Strong Bad's condescending reaction to The Cheat's tantrum at not getting a blue toy with his "crappy toy meal" just makes him cry harder, and Strong Bad is quick to blame the Drive-Thru Whale for this.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Strong Bad eventually gets fed up with the Drive-Thru Whale and leaves.
    Strong Bad: Come on, The Cheat. Let's take our invisible business elsewhere.
  • Talkative Loon: The Drive-Thru Whale communicates mainly in nonsensical phrases that are further garbled by its low-quality speaker.
    Drive-Thru Whale: Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.
    Strong Bad: "Sever my leg"? "It's the greatest day"? I'm not sure I understand the transaction that's taking place here.
