Meeple Grove Market: Annihilation

Transcript of the Trailer
{Open on a game board sitting on a table in the basement of the Brothers Strong, with meeples of the twelve main characters standing on it. Soft music plays. Whenever a meeple speaks, he rattles back and forth.}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Uh, you guys? How come we look like this? {close up} And how come I can only kinda... shimmy in place? Not that I'm complaining. Everybody knows Homestar Runner loves a good stand-in-place shimmy!

{Pan to the Strong Sad meeple in the bottom-right corner}

STRONG SAD: We're meeples! I've had so many dreams like this!

{Wide shot. The Cheat meeple turns to face Strong Bad as he speaks.}

STRONG BAD: {rhythmically} Gross. I hate you. Gross, gross, I hate you.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's a meeple? Sounds like Intendo.

{Close up on Strong Sad meeple}

STRONG SAD: A meeple is a wooden approximation of a human character in a tabletop game!

STRONG BAD: We look like we belong in one of those old British stop-motion shows. You know, where we all speak in board-gamery terms while a pleasant narrator over-explains everything?

{Pan over the board while music plays and the title "Meeple Grove Market" appears over top. During the narration, panning shots are shown of various meeples toddling around the board.}
