History Recap / StrongBadEmailE184Diorama

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Strong Bad believes dinosaurs are a great excuse for including blood and gore in a science diorama.

Strong Bad also feels that, as "the only school-approved opportunity to melt small plastic animals and shame our beloved literary characters that you're ever gonna get", dioramas can actually be entertaining if done in the right way/context. "I say embrace it! I say deface it!"

Strong Bad's first tip is that "behind every good diorama is an even gooder shoebox", so if Molly really wants to impress with this diorama, she should construct it out of the box for a pair of "the coolest, most expensive shoes on the market". Or if she's unable to score such expensive shoes, Molly can at least "modify a box of cheapo, generico shoes to ''look'' expensive."

Molly from "Charlotte, Not Charlotte" ("Woah, it's like you're no place!") has to do "some crappy, really stupid diorama" for a school project, and wants to know if Strong Bad has any tips on making it both "bloody and gory" and "middle school appropriate".

The next thing to consider is the topic of the diorama. If it's science, you can just glue some cotton balls together to make "The Effects of Cumulonimbus Clouds on Sheep, Snowmen, and... Cotton Balls." And if you're out of cotton balls, you can simply substitute "real chunks of the King of Town's beard".

->'''King of Town:''' To be fair, I did eat all the cotton balls.

For history dioramas, "there's only one way to go: presidential assassinations", like a reproduction of "the robot that effortlessly offed Jimmy Carter" done with clothespins and a toilet paper roll. If it's a book report diorama, Strong Bad suggests making up your own, like he did with books one through seven of "The King of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland". Though thanks to the Internet, you may need to cover your bases by making up websites for the book, the author, and the publisher, or even writing the book yourself.

After Strong Bad takes the time to have Peanut Strong Bad attack Nicholas Trist with a plastic cocktail sword, he decides to wrap things up.

'''Coach Z:''' Well hey there Ronmartin Realdude. It's the big Z, just giving you a call on my new cell phone. What's that you say? Well I sure am flattered, Ronmartin, but I've already got a gorgeous girlfriend name o' Marzipan.

'''Strong Bad:''' Come on, Boltotron! Hit him with the Byoo-Cannon!

* BloodyHilarious: The "chunks of the King of Town's beard" (used to replace cotton balls if you don't have any) are covered in blood. As a result...
* BodyHorror: ...it is revealed that much of the King of Town's beard had been gruesomely ripped off of his face.

-->'''Senor Cardgage:''' [[NotWhatISignedOnFor This is not what I sagged on for!]]

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The page about Ronmartin Realdude, supposed author of "The King of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland", reads "I'm a best-selling author and I am NOT a cat!!"

* BloodyHilarious: The "chunks of the King of Town's beard" are covered in blood.

* FakeRealTurn: Strong Bad remarks that it's gotten harder to fake books for book reports, to the point one has to make fake websites and even a reproduction of the fake book itself.

-->'''Senor Cardgage:''' This is not what I sagged on for!

-->'''Strong Bad:''' So you're telling me that Ms. Charbroiledburger, or whoever actually told you to make a crappy, really stupid diorama for an assignment? Now that's what I call edjakashun!! No sense in thinking about this one until you're on the bus on the way to school the morning it's due. Then it's time to whip out my old standby-orama: The Whimsical World of School Supplies!

-->'''King of Town:''' To be fair, I did eat all the cotton balls.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Man, it's gotten so hard to cheat these days!\\

-->'''Strong Bad:''' No teacher can argue that an Allosaurus tearing apart its prey is bound to be pretty gruesome. And if that prey just happens to be the signers of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, well that's bound to be pretty messed up too.

After Strong Bad takes the time to have Peanut Strong Bad attack Nicholas Trist, he decides to wrap things up.

-->'''Strong Bad:''' Well Mollybdenum, you think you got enough to go on? You're gonna dio-RAM their socks off! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go help that robot vaporize the Old Public Functionary!\\
