I wish my town had a Baloney Sammich truck.
I guess this cartoon was :bubs:

time to shine.

Favorite quotes:

(Devil) :sb:

"Y'see this guy? Rubbin' a sammich on his head?"

(Angel) :sb:

"I know, I know...just let it go. You gotta' pick your battles."

:hr:

"What? You didn't hear man? Man, man. This kid, was doin' a flip on his 180. Busted his head, man. Busted his head."

:bubs:

EDIT: I change my mind 5/5! SO CLASSIC!! Shaped Like theres a bite taken out of it

I lol'd.

The concept of a bologna sandwich truck amuses me to no end.
Yea, I know, this isn't the first toon with that, but still...

This was a funny one.

Shadowfox · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2008 5:05 pm

Not bad. I love that truck.

4/5.

5/5

Best toon of any kind since Homestar Gets Something Stuck In His Craw.

I absolutely loved this toon. Best since last summer's Short Shorts. 5/5 10/10 and :bubs:

That toon made me laugh the second time round. It grew on me from a 3/5 to a 4.5/5 by the end of the second viewing.
The bit with the angel and devil Strong Bads just cracked me up.

Setsumi-san · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2008 9:26 pm

Wow. Who knew Strong Bad had an inner angel? :eek:

I actually laughed aloud when Strong Sad got hit by the truck and the KoT melted. Cool short!

They're probably just both evil and the angel outfit is only for show.

That's my guess. They seem to be getting along far too well to be mor[t]al enemies. Or that they're both more or less amoral; they both seem to just think SB is a dope, here.

I loved this one, especially Strong Sad after he was run-over.

I liked this one. Those Strong Bad devil/angels need to appear more often.

No one laughed at the unrecognizable movie sequel tie-in sammich?

pink pineapple · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2008 2:23 am

I won't vote (at least not yet) because I'm slow at noticing things and I'll have to watch it a couple of times more, but I liked it so far. I didn't find it as funny as Somber Vacation, but then again, I might have missed some jokes (as I said, I'm slow at noticing things). For example, i didn't get the angel vs. devil scene. I mean, of course I know scenes like that from cartoons and comic books, but what they said made absolutely no sense to me (as in "not funny at all", not as in "I don't understand what they are talking about"). They might as well have discussed lawn mowing. But maybe I'll get the joke when I watch the toon again. I know, shame on me. :blush:

What's not to understand? Eh! Steve's mouth exploded the universe, and that blonde guy did a tiny, tiny dance.

"...shaped like there's a bite taken out of it..."

Ah, this one is definitely a new favorite. I found it really amusing, especially the Strong Sad part. Haha, LEMONADE.

I gave it a 5/5.

I have to sorta-agree with Pop_tire1. A Coach Z toon.... well... as long as it's NOT in the locker room!

Happy · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2008 10:00 am

I don't think there's much to expand on Coach Z
without going into NC-17
if you know what I mean. ;P </lame>

Probably about everything Homestar said + Strong Bad's rub-sammich-on-head + Coach Z trying to buy a sammich made me lol.
And I was probably the only once who winced at Strong Sad getting hit by the truck xD; Wow me, you sure fail.

I honestly don't think that Strpng Bad's completely evil. Unkind. Yes. Rude. Yes. But I can't seem him being truly evil. He's done nice things before. Like feeding the Cheat! Okay bad example...

When Strong Sad was there at the beginning, I was thinking, "Here we go again". Then Bubs ran him over and this Toon became awesome. My favorite parts were probably Zee Coach Z's napkin, (Don't ask me why) the kid who cracked his head opened, and the sandwhich "shaped" like there's a bite taken out of it.

SIG TOO BIG!!

Meh. It was alright.
I think it was still a bit formulaic and less ingenious as others.
3/5 I say.

StrongstarRunbad · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2008 10:24 pm

Strongstar Runbad’s Rate-It-Don’t-Hate-It-O-Tron™ 3000:

The only real problem with this toon, in my opinion, is that its funniest bit was almost ruined by being dragged out for too long. You guessed it, the shaped-like-there's-a-bite-taken-out-of-it gag was borderline insanely long. Aside from that, it was really good. Though not great enough to have merited five stars should the bite-shape gag have been shortened.

That totally creeped me out too. :eek:

I was actually surprised that joke made it into the final cut. Putting "that thing through its paces" isn't nearly as neutral as T.B.C. might think.

It was good, nothing special though. Somber Vacation was definitely superior as it had funnier word play "Sucks on the Beach" and of course the pink sunburned Strong Sad. Still nice to see Bubs doing what he does best, shady services.

Pandas · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:04 pm

Teh win, teh win. Makes me want a baloney sammich. 5/5.

yeah in this email it just seems like the strong bad angel is in charge of keeping strong bad from doing stupid stuff, as opposed to keeping him from doing bad stuff. And apparently he is so overwhelmed by the stupidity of SB wiping a popsicle-shaped sammich on his head that he doesn't even want to try.

I gotta disagree with you on this one. I kept laughing harder each time this thing was repeated. For me it just made it funnier as it kept going because homestar being the not-so-bright-guy that he is just got more frustrated as he couldn't figure out why bubs kept repeating what he said.

SnowyFox · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 8:20 pm

I think the fact that it was cut off is what made it funnier.

They cut something off like that another time, too, and it was really funny, but I forgot when that was. Anyone know?

Yeah, the napkin creeped me out too. So much so that I started a new account (after unsuccessfully trying to resurrect my little-used old one) just to join the creeped-out chorus.

Ah, :coachz:
