History Recap / StrongBadEmailE117Montage

Steven from "Surf City, No Job" wants Strong bad to "creat" a montage.

Strong Bad is further inspired to do a montage of the Wagon Fulla Pancakes and the Cheat as "down on their luck door-to-door salesmen":

-->'''Strong Bad:''' (''in a whiny, mocking voice'') Oooohhh! Why don't you [[YouMakeMeSic "creat" an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly?]] (''beat'') And I talk like ''this''. (''beat'') And [[MaliciousMisnaming your name is Watered Down!]]

->(''The Paper stuck around until [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE173ThePaper email #173]], at which time Strong Bad upgraded to an inkjet printer.'')

Strong Bad decides to start with a simple montage involving himself hanging out in the Field, dragging along "a wagon... full of pancakes." Then he decides it would be even better to do "a montage of me falling in ''love'' with the wagon full of pancakes!", complete with a cheesy love ballad:

* {{Montages}}: Of course! Strong Bad decides to do several montages in this email. The first is a sort of generic montage involving Strong Bad hanging out with the Wagon Fulla Pancakes.

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Accompanies the "end credits photo montage".

->''Let's make this moment be the symbol of our lives\\
We'll pawn your dad's computer, and we'll sail to paradise\\

->''You can't do it, so give up now\\
Whatcha gonna do when your dough runs out?\\

-->'''Strong Bad:''' (''in a whiny, mocking tone'') Ooh, why don't you "creat" an alternate reality where you don't have to spell correctly... and I talk like this... and your name is Watered Down! (''in normal voice'') A montage, eh Watered Down? Like about whatever? Okay.

-->''Let's make this moment be the symbol of our lives\\

-->''Guts, guts and might!\\

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Those were some good montages, eh Watered Down? That was like, a montage of montages. The only thing we left out is the end credits photo montage. Hit it!

* {{Montages}}: Of course! Strong Bad decides to do several montages in this email. The first is a sort of generic montage involving Strong Bad hanging out with the Waggon Fulla Pancakes.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue mentions that The Paper got replaced by an inkjet printer in email 173. Unlike many of Strong Bad's future predictions, [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE173ThePaper this one actually happened]].

** Ultimately claims that the entire episode was a "montage of montages".

** An easter egg references the inter-circuit training cut-scenes from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' for the NES.
** Another easter egg has Homestar singing Joe Esposito's [[Film/TheKarateKid "You're the Best"]] to himself.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The montage at the end of the email claims, "The Paper stuck around until email #173, at which time Strong Bad upgraded to an inkjet printer." When that email came around, Strong Bad wound up having to burn the paper and get rid of his dot matrix printer. It's not clear whether that was planned or if the Brothers Chaps looked back on this email and said, "[[ThrowItIn Sure, why not?]]"[[note]]Likely the latter; WordOfGod is that they pick emails from fans at random, so the person asking if The Paper was quitting must have sent it after email 172 was released[[/note]]
