History Recap / StrongBadEmailE40Vacation

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Strong Bad insists "It's That Clock!" is one of the coolest things he's seen, even thought [[StoppedClock it doesn't work]]

-->'''"Dorks!" Post-it note:''' ''(irritably, whenever clicked on)'' Hey! Dorks! Get offa me! You stink!

"[=BrothaCheese=]" thinks that Strong Bad is due a vacation. Strong Bad is quick to agree.

* VeryFalseAdvertising: As far as Strong Bad's concerned, the Great Mound is not great at all, and Fabulous Downtown Pantsburg isn't particularly fabulous. Also, That Clock ("Look at It Go!") doesn't actually go at all, but Strong Bad still thinks it's cool. Averted with Historic Over There, which Strong Bad claims is actually painted entirely in sepia tones like on the post card.

** Strong Bad gives a frustrated sigh on seeing the sender signed his e-mail with "Filled [[OverusedRunningGag with crap]]". This is the first time Strong Bad reacting to an email in such a way. He previously complained about it in "3 wishes".

## '''Historic Over There:''' Strong Bad drops off "a quick one while I'm away" from Historic Over There, which is apparently actually painted in sepia tones and has way too many antique stores, though he does get a fetching caricature of himself done by a local artist.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Strong Bad suspects that with all the antique stores downtown and the lack of restaurants, the citizens of Over There eat antiques.

## '''The Great Mound (Bigger Than The One In Ohio!)''': Strong Bad warns us "there's ''nothing'' Great about this Mound", and there's not much to do except hang around with little old ladies.
## '''Fabulous Downtown Pantsburg''': Again, the location isn't as fabulous as the postcard would like us to believe; Strong Bad notes that somebody welded the bicycle seen on the postcard to their house (which didn't stop him from trying to steal it in an Easter egg). Strong Bad recalls hanging out with some cool local guys, alternately mocking people or pushing them into mud.
## '''It's That Clock! (Look at It Go!)''': Strong Bad is impressed enough with this destination to improvise an acoustic rock song about it. Even more impressive is that Strong Bad saw the clock at the same time depicted on the postcard, 2:55... a fact only slightly diminished, in Strong Bad's eyes, by the fact that That Clock doesn't actually run.
## '''Two Cars, Tennessee''': Strong Bad praises the town of Two Cars for its "happening arts and crafts scene", and reminisces on the e-mails he used to get:
--->'''Strong Bad:''' I can almost hear one of them now: "Dear Stong Bad, You are crap! Crap is the best! Everybody loves crap! Crap is in the mix! Crap is to the max! How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzi-pants? Crapfully crap, Monkey D, Seattle, Washington". Ahh... okay! I got my fix.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: "It's That Clock!" It [[StoppedClock doesn't work]], but Strong Bad still insists it's one of the coolest things he's seen.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' You know, I have been sittin at this computer for a long freakin' time. And Strong Mad says I've been lashing out at The Cheat more often than usual... Yeah, you know what? (''gets up, scribbles on a sticky note'') I'm outta here. DORKS! (''slaps a sticky note with a crude face and the word "DORKS!" written on it on the Tandy'')

** In a hypothetical email from Monkey D, he also makes fun of questions he keeps getting: "How does Homestar pick stuff up if he's not wearing any Marzi-pants?"
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: "I'm outta here. '''Dorks!'''"

** In an easter egg, Strong Bad rides a bike in Pantsburg and says it's "as fun as [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Mr. Toad's Wild Ride]]... But actually, that was pretty fun."
