But instead of a trailer for "The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest", how about ending with a random toon from the respective "year" it came out?
It doesn't matter anymore since I canned "Harmless Junk Through the Years", but those trailers were supposed to parodize the fact each chapter of "Disney Through the Decades" ends with a
Snow White trailer, just because her movie is the DVD's main feature and "the one that started it all".
You already mentioned the removal, which I think is a good idea, considering an actual documentary on the website's history to be added. But now, what about my new 20X6 vs. 1936 toon? What do you think of that? And also can you help me with ideas on how to update it? In case you forgot about it, here is what I have so far:
The toon is entitled, "20X6 vs. 1936, Too". In the toon, Old-Timey Strong Bad and 1-Up meet, and the latter proves to the former that he is not a kid.
The toon opens on a message that reads, "In 2003, we created a little gem called '20X6 vs. 1936', in which Old-Timey Homestar encounters Stinkoman on his home turf on Planet K. While all that was happening, something else was happening more than 65 years earlier." Then we are shown an Old-Timey opening title card, with Old-Timey Strong Bad's head in the background, while in the foreground, it reads: "SIR STRONG BAD IN HIS OWN CRA-TOON", followed by: "20X6 (shown in the futuristic font) vs. 1936, Too! Presented in grand old sound-o-vision (c) 1936". All the while, Old-Timey Strong Bad's theme from "Parsnips A-Plenty" is played. Then the cartoon begins, showing Old-Timey Strong Bad walking along through the Factory/Circus District.
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Ah, what a beautiful day for making all manner of mayhem and cutting all manner of capers.
(Suddenly, he bumps into 1-Up (the 20X6 Homestar), all colorized and without the Old-Timey scratch lines obscuring him. In fact, the lines actually appear
behind him.)
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Waaaaahhh! (he "says" his scream) What manner of uncivilized, Technicolor, Japanimated, alien life-form are you?!
1-UP: I'm 1-Up! Everyone says I'm just a kid, but I wanna be the guy!
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Well, you're looking at the
wrong guy!
1-UP: So, what name do you go by?
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: My moniker?! I'll tell you what my moniker is! I am Sir Strong Bad Cunnington Plottington Schemesworth! (musical sting) The seventh! (another musical sting) Or Strong Bad for short! (yet another musical sting) Since spelling out such an extensive name on the telegramophone would give a gentle-man like me such a cramp in the wrist! (one last musical sting)
1-UP: Yeah, you're probably right. I am looking at the wrong guy.
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Then who, I ask, is this "guy" you speak of, anyway?
1-UP: He goes by the name of Stinkoman. That's the name of talented fighter if ever there was one.
...and that's as far as I got. So, what did you think and can you help me on how to update it?
