2
3	Commercials collide as both Senor Cardgage and Bubs attempt to draw people to their respective Senorial Day sales.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* BrickJoke: An Easter egg shows what happened to Strong Bad's football after Senor Cardgage offered to "hit [him] on the slant".
7	-->'''Strong Sad:''' (''gets pegged by a football'') Oh! Somebody hit me on the slant!
8	* BuffySpeak: Near the beginning of his commercial, Senor Cardgage introduces himself with "It's Senor Cardgage with the Senorial Day... Tent Thing that guy talked about."
9	* ContinuityNod:
10	** The cartoon opens with the Sighing Man from "Senor Mortgage".
11	** Senor Cardgage's commercial features the Wagon Fulla Pancakes, who in the [=SBEmail=] [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE117Montage montage]] "did some local TV spots for a used car dealership" after winning the Championship.
12	** Bubs uses [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE116ExtraPlug one of Strong Bad's 'Lectric Boots]] in his commercial.
13	* HurricaneOfPuns: Bubs makes a whole bunch of forced puns in this cartoon, [[LamePunReaction each of which prompts]] a CollectiveGroan.
14	-->''(dressed as a baby waving a rattle)'' We're going ''ga-ga (a blade appears from the rattle, and the word "prices" appears on the counter; Bubs cuts it in half)'' over ''slashed prices!''\
15	''(dressed as tennis player John [=McEnroe=])'' Our competition is a total ''racket''!\
16	''(holding up a stuffed version of Strong Sad's severed head)'' We're getting a-''head'' of the rest!
17	* KitschyLocalCommercial: The commercials for Bubsotathon and the Senorial Day Tent Event Suprasale are parodies of commercials for local car dealerships.
18	* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: When Strong Bad asks Senor Cardgage for "some tremendous savings, and your autograph", Senor boasts "My left name is Tremendous Savings, [[AccidentalMisnaming Miss America]]!"
19	* NonSequitur: Bubs' long string of puns is followed by him randomly blurting out "I'm the Hoppity Frog of Values!", followed by "We're holding up a novelty rubber chicken and playing a cartoony sound effect..." (''boing boing'') "...of savings!"
20	* OrMyNameIsnt: Bubs' commercial ends with him bragging "You'll save like a demon, or my name ain't Bubs Concession Stand!"
21	* PaperThinDisguise: Homestar is dressed unconvincingly as Bubs' son at one point.
22	-->'''Bubs:''' Would I lie to my own flesh and blood?\
23	'''Homestar:''' That's right, Bubba-daddy!
24	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Homestar indulges in producing his own fireworks noises.
25	-->'''Homestar:''' Pekyoo! Hgyoo! Pghyoo! Doo! Pehw! Wehw! Explosions! Fireworks!
26	* WhatWereTheySellingAgain: The "Senorial Day Tent Event Supra Sale" and "Bubsotathon" are only ''implied'' to be car sales; at no point do Bubs or Senor Cardgage actually mention what they're offering "huge savings" on.
