Trogdor’s Big Movie

Plot: Smartimer is not very popular. His brother, Tom, is more popular than him. Smartimer got kicked out of the basketball team, and he wants to join the Video Game Club in his school, but first, he has to become popular. Today is Thursday, and his birthday is Sunday. Today, him, Tom, Tom’s girlfriend Tina, and his mom and dad are going to Aardvark Pizza and Arcade after school. When he enters, he wants to try the pizza. He never tried a pizza before. When he ate the pizza, Tina fell in love with him. Tom had to find a new girlfriend tomorrow. When they went to the arcade, there were various games to play. Whack-A-Beaver, Sitting Ducks, and even Trogdor. Smartimer was a big fan of Videlectrix and Trogdor for the FunMachine, so he had to play it. He burninated various peasants and their thatched-roof cottages. He had only 4 tokens, so he had to play it 4 times. Then, he got a high score of 8746. But when it was time to go home, Smartimer stopped playing. At least he got a Trogdor cheat sheet at Numb Thumbs 10 days ago when he went there. The next day, he, Tom, and Tina went to Aardvark Pizza again after school with his mom and dad. But when he got to the arcade, he realized that someone named S.B.M.A (Strong Bad Man Almighty) beat his high score on the Trogdor arcade game. Luckily, he had 10 tokens from a coupon that came inside a clamshell VHS of Lugnut and Squeak. So he burninated 1000 peasants and their cottages. The kid who beat his high score was next to him. Smartimer got a extra life that updated his high score, which is now 13847. The kid who beat his high score got dragged out of the arcade, because the live show was starting. One kid brought her homework, and she asked "Can you tell me the answer?" Smartimer refused. After the live show, Smartimer, Tom, Tina, and their mom and dad left Aardvark Pizza. The next day. Smartimer goes out to his backyard. He saw that Tom was having a party with every 4th grade student, including his former girlfriend, Tina! He later went to the back of his dad’s shop. His dad was a carpenter and woodwright, and had various occupations. But then, he found Trogdor himself, with a broken beefy arm. "Is this a dream?" thought Smartimer. But no, it was real! Smartimer later nurses him back to health. One hour later, Trogdor was in front of every 4th grade student, including Smartimer. And then..... he started breakdancing. Every kid started to breakdance with him. Then, Smartimer’s mom looked in the window and saw every kid breakdancing. Trogdor later said "Bye! I’m off to burninate the kingdom of Peasantry!". He suddenly became popular after he nursed Trogdor back to health. The next day was Smartimer’s birthday. He later went to Aardvark Pizza for his birthday. Every 4th grade student was going to be there. He had a Trogdor cake, and had Swiss cake rolls, pizza, iron cups full of Bruinswick stew, Fluffy Puff Marshmallows, and Diet Brown as snacks. He received a Super FunMachine, B.E.E.F.Y toys, and even the Trogdor board game, complete with alternate Trogdor meeples and figurines. He also got meeples for the Stack 'Em To The Heavens minigame. Limozeen, his favorite band, was preforming most of their songs, like Nite Mamas, Because, It’s Midnite, Colorin’ (Outside the Lines) and even a song dedicated to him, which was called “You Burninated My Heart”. He was even on the radio! Tom was very unpopular now. Smartimer lived happily ever after with his family.

End Credits Scene: Smartimer claps because he is becoming a phenomenon, or so he thought until the kid who formerly beat his high score on Trogdor said "There’s a Trogdor video game sports tournament this summer!". Smartimer says that it's time for more payback.

''{As the movie opens, Smartimer is seen rollerskating around some empty streets at dawn while the opening credits roll. A rock ballad-style song by Limozeen is playing over the opening titles}''

LARRY: {singing} This is a montage of rollerskate-boarding Around the empty streets and fields Why are you out so early in the morning That's actually kind of weird This is probably a reference to some old movie Like Rad or BMX Bandits! But the skates will never show up again It's for the trailer, we admit

''{Smartimer reaches his own home and slows to a stop, before going inside. He is met by his mother, father and brother Tom, who are all sitting at the breakfast table}''

MOM: Good morning, sport.

SMARTIMER: {sighs} Hi, mom and dad.

{He sighs and picks at his breakfast}

DAD: Now son, is something bothering you?

SMARTIMER: Nah...

MOM: I know it's something. You have that forced-family-drama look on your face.

SMARTIMER: It's just that, I wish I was popular at school. After I was kicked off the basketball team and the popular jocks all laughed at me in unison, my life's never been the same.

DAD: Don't worry. As long as you believe in yourself, and keep wishing, your dream might come true.

TOM: Or maybe not!
