{The standard FBI warning text appears on a background with constantly shifting colors.}

TEXT: Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures, video tapes or video discs. Criminal copyright infringement is investigated by the FBI and may constitute a felony with a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.

{Crack Stuntman pops up.}

CRACK STUNTMAN: BLAAAAAAH'm Crack Stuntm'n! Did you know that illegally copying DVD material costs us actors upwards of $30 a year? Think about it. Thirty dollars! That's enough for, like, three pizzas! {walks off to the right; his voice fading} Man, I could really go for three pizzas right now...

{The picture fades out.}

Intro
''{Picture appears through static as though a TV is being turned on. Strong Bad appears on the screen, standing in Strong Badia, with the 5 for "Action Cool 5" in the corner of the screen.}''

STRONG BAD: And now, on this Saturday morning, live from Strong Badia's own Action Cool 5, it's the Strong Bad Email Show!

{An unseen announcer cuts in.}

ANNOUNCER: Actually, Strong Bad, it's the Homestar Runner Everything Else Show!

STRONG BAD: {annoyed} Oh! Holy... crap...

''{A montage involving clips of several of the cartoons featured on this DVD is shown, set to the music of Homestar's photo montage song from the Strong Bad Email "montage". At the beginning of the montage, the 5 in "Action Cool 5" is shown wearing a pair of headphones and next to it, these words read: "In Strong Badian Stereo" and underneath it, in much smaller text: "Where Available".}''

HOMESTAR RUNNER: {voiceover; singing}
 * Partying... party party party
 * It's Saturday... party party party
 * On a morning... party party party
 * And a TV show... party party party
 * And we're partying... party party party
 * It's Saturday... party party party
 * And we're partying... party party party
 * Everybody does it todddaaayy...

''{As Homestar finishes singing, the title, "Everything Else, Vol. 4", appears and images of all the characters cascade into place on the bottom of the screen, followed by the choices which cascade into place above the characters, letter by letter rapidly, until they all are there. An "Action Cool 5" logo bug appears in the lower-right corner. On the bottom of the screen, it reads, "A Sportsinterviews/Chimendez Production". Then, if you fail to make a selection on the menu after some time, the screen fades out and a commercial break bumper fades in, showing Homestar "holding" up a glass of melonade.}''

HOMESTAR RUNNER: We'll be coming right back after these messages.

''{From here, one of four random commercials is shown before returning to the main menu. They are for Fluffy Puff Marshmallows, Cheat Commandos Toys, Videlectrix, and The Show.}''

Main Menu
The Saturday Morning theme runs throughout the entire DVD's menus.

Section Menus
Each of the individual sections' menus, like the main menu, are themed after Homestar Runner parodies of various Saturday Morning television shows from the 1960s through the 1990s.

Trivia

 * This DVD marks the first time that "These Peoples Try To Fade Me" is available. Previously, it was only available on the Strong Bad Sings CD and Podstar Runner.
 * This is the first Everything Else DVD since Volume 1 to feature interviews with the Brothers Chaps, appearing in "Here's How We Choose 'em".

Fast Forward

 * The end of "Here's How We Choose 'em" shows every single Halloween costume ever worn by every main character in every Halloween toon, but only up through Most in the Graveyard, and with the "lost" Homsar costume (from First Annual Halloween Awards Show) in his 2000 column. The 2010 Homestar calendar would have a similar setup, but with the addition of the Doomy Tales of the Macabre costumes, and only a dotted Homsar outline in Homsar's column from 2000.
