Champeen News Show/Breaking News

Breaking News is the first episode of Champeen News Show. It is set parallel to Strong Bad Email #102.

Detailed Synopsis
Champeen is going to Bubs' Concession stand to interview him for a piece on local business (as he is in fact the only local business.) After calling for him and getting no answer, she enters the concession stand herself and is surprised to see Bubs hovering a few inches off the ground. She silently films it for a few seconds before running off the moment Bubs notices her.

That evening she prepares to go on the air, but when she tries to get into the set she's stopped by Coach Z, who strikes up a conversation with the reluctant Champeen involving nonsensical sports jargon. The scene fades out and cuts to the end of the conversation, which has shifted subjects to gross and embarrassing problems-- Coach Z the only participant and Champeen looking like she could fall asleep at any moment. Coach Z suddenly looks at a watch he suddenly has and announces he has to be somewhere. By this time Champeen has missed her recording block and has to give the set to Strong Sad for his public access show about painting figures.

When she goes home she sees a note on her door and takes a look at it. It appears to be a crude doodle of a bird with a human mouth. A thriller music sting plays. She gasps before realizing this is more weird than threatening. She's confused until a disembodied voice (that sounds a lot like Bubs) tells her to turn around. She does so and a shadowy figure (which looks a lot like Bubs) quickly jumps out of the shadows and sticks a new note to the door before going back into hiding. Champeen checks the note, which reads "Flip over the paper." She flips over the first note to see the words "don't air that footage or else!" The same thriller sting plays and Champeen fearfully admits that that makes more sense.

Champeen resolves herself to not be scared off, and decides to confront Bubs the next day. When the time comes she stomps off to the concession stand, tape in hand. She gets there and sees Bubs as well as Coach Z, and Strong Bad who seems to be flooding the stand with a garden hose. Champeen loudly announces that Bubs can fly and that she has proof, but no one seems surprised.

She questions why Bubs would threaten her about the footage and Bubs explains that he thought Champeen was trying to reveal what he really puts in his lunch special. She also accuses Bubs of sending Coach Z to stop her broadcast, but Bubs denies knowledge of that and Coach Z explains he was just lonely. With all that resolved Champeen asks what Bubs puts in his lunch special, to which Bubs replies: "Don't ask questions you aren't prepared to learn the answers to." Everyone laughs.

Easter Eggs

 * Waiting long enough after the end of the toon will show a scene from Strong Sad's show. Strong Sad seems to be going on a thinly veiled rant about Strong Bad (because "He's not watching this anyway,") as he repaints a Cheat Commandos toy, his painting getting more and more messy until he accidentally snaps the paintbrush, reacting with a bashful "I can't keep doing this.""
 * Clicking on the first note on Champeen's door will make the duck drawing's mouth animated and cause it to say "tertiary."
