3When Coach Z's ridiculous accent causes him to mispronounce "job" three different ways in a row, the rest of the gang tries to teach him how to say it properly.
4----
5!!Tropes
6* CallBack: The cartoon ends with a Coach Z version of the Homestar Talker, a "game" from the site's early days.
7* {{Calvinball}}: The game played at the beginning takes place at a football field. Points are apparently scored by bouncing up and down on Strong Sad or turning around while running.
8* CircleOfShame: Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat have a laugh at Coach Z's expense after his latest failed attempt to learn how to say "job" properly, causing the Coach to walk off in shame.
9* HereWeGoAgain: At the end, Coach Z can finally pronounce the word "job" correctly, but can't pronounce Homestar's name.
10-->'''Coach Z:''' You did a great ''job'', Hamstray. No wait, I mean Hamster. I mean Strumstar. I mean Stairmaster. Homegrown! Ramrod? Humphel?!
11* HypocriticalHumor: Homestar and Pom Pom really have no place making fun of the way Coach Z says "job," considering the former speaks with ElmuhFuddSyndwome and the latter can only talk in bubble sounds and thus can't say ''any'' word correctly.
12* NoodleIncident: Strong Sad made a tape of himself repeatedly saying the word "job" while he was "practicing the dictionary". The why of this is never elaborated upon.
13* ShoutOut: Coach Z is forced to [[Film/AClockworkOrange watch a giant screen]] with the word 'job' on it, next to a silhouette that looks an awful lot like [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Tom Servo]].
14* SleepLearning: Coach Z tries to learn how to say "job" by listening to a tape of Strong Sad saying the word over and over again.
15* TheTriple: During Pom Pom's educational film on jobs.
16-->The Business Man's ''JOB'' is giving the business.\
17The Construction Worker's ''JOB'' is to smash things.\
18The Poopsmith's ''JOB'' [[ToiletHumor is obvious]].
19* WaxingLyrical: Coach Z references House of Pain's "Jump Around" when he tells the team to "Pack it up, pack it in."
20* YankTheDogsChain: PlayedForLaughs. Coach Z finally says "job" correctly... at the cost of pronouncing Homestar's name correctly.
21* YouSayTomato: Coach Z's tendency to wildly mispronounce words is a plot point; at various points he pronounces "job" as "jorb", "jaerb", and "JEEOOORGHHHBBB!"
