'''STRONG BAD''': ONE TWO THREE FOUR&mdash; 

''{Strong Bad starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background, and the following words appear as they are said:}'' 

'''STRONG BAD:''' EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'', EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEiRD"}'', EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'' AND EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEiRD"}''! And I'll never forget the way it was, GRRRL ''{"grrrl"}''...uh!

''{Starts reading in his old mexican-like accent. However, the text is in the style of Tandy, and it is in fact the [[some_kinda_robot|very first e-mail]] he's ever done.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
<br />
Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing<br />
gloves off before you go to bed?<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Abdi LaRue<br />
San Diego, CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops reading at "before you go to".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...dajede...wait a minute! ''{hits Compy, the text fixes itself to be a new email}'' There we go!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey there, Strong Bad!<br />
I was wondering. How long have you<br />
known Homestar? Is there some sort of<br />
flashback that could describe how<br />
and when you guys met?<br />
Your Fan,<br />
Jon, NH</blockquote>

''{Instead of "New Hampshire," Strong Bad says "No Hamsters."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH! 

''{As he says this with a resonating noise, the left side of the screen expands out.  The camera then cuts out to a wide shot.  Strong Bad stops typing and turns to his right.}'' 

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right side: WOOOOOAHH—

''{the right side of the screen starts to expand, then abruptly bounces out to its full extent, revealing Homestar.}'' 

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.

'''STRONG BAD''': I guess I should start...lookin' to the right more often.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': In fact, I think I might live here.

'''STRONG BAD''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{leaning forward}'' Yes, sir.

'''STRONG BAD''': Frame shift left! WOOOOOAAHHH! 

''{The screen starts shifting left to get Homestar out of the shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': See ya after the flashback!

''{We go to a picture of Strong Bad on the moon with a tennis racket. The drawing is in the style of the original children's book, though the characters have limited animation.  Strong Bad narrates the story but doesn't read everything&mdash;text that he doesn't read is included in this transcript in parentheses.  Also, character voices are imitated and are denoted in brackets.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{narrating}'' Strong Bad meets the Homestar Runner.

''{The page turns to a picture of just Strong Bad.}''

Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.

''{The page turns to a picture of Strong Bad and Coach Z playing tennis on the moon.}''

One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3.  ''{Strong Bad}'' "You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million," said Strong Bad.  ''{Coach Z}'' "Ooooooh. Now I understand."

''{The page turns to Strong Bad and Coach Z flying down a rainbow from the moon to earth.}''

They flew on a sweet, sweet rainbow bridge back down to Free Country USA.

''{The page turns to Coach Z holding a towel and talking to Strong Bad.}''

''{Coach Z}'' "I'ma go shower up!" said the Coach Z. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Gross!" said Strong Bad. "Shut up!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad walking toward a giant pink egg with yellow spots.}''

Walking home, Strong Bad came upon a big ol' egg. "Waaaaaaaaagh!"

''{The page turns to a closer view of Strong Bad and the egg.}''

"I wonder what's inside," thought tiny-handed Strong Bad.

''{The page turns to see Homestar behind the egg wearing a yellow shirt with a [[Ducks|duck]] on it.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Hello! How do you like my egg, Mr. Strong Bad?" said a voice from behind. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Who the crap are you, Duckshirt?" asked No-shirt.  ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner!" said the duckshirt. "Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete."

''{The page turns to a closer view of the scene.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Well I folk say you're a terrific liar!" ''(said Strong Bad.)'' "This is plainly my egg." ''{The Prince of Town}'' "What's all the commotion about?"

''{The page zooms out, showing the Prince of Town looking at Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

...said the svelt, young Prince of Town. "And who's this weirdo in the duckie shirt?" ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific ''(athlete!" said Duckshirt.)'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Prancibald over here says this egg belongs to him, when I found it first."

''{Zoom in to a closeup of the Prince of Town.}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "We'll settle this with a ten-step footrace."

''{The page turns to show a crowd of characters, including Mr. Bland and Señor from the original children's book.  Everyone is watching Strong Bad and Homestar at the start line of a race.}''

And so they all gathered for a ten-step footrace. The slim and trim young Prince of Town explained the rules.

''{A piece of paper shows up reading: "Ten-step Footrace Official Rules. Rule One. Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner! Rule Two. No biting."}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad and Homestar at the line and Marzipan giving the startoff.}''

''{Marzipan}'' "Ready-and-set-and-go-now." ''{they start running, with Homestar counting}'' ''{Homestar}'' "One, two, three, four, five, six..." ''{Strong Bad takes tiny steps and is way behind}'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Keep up the pace. Gotta break 4:40"

''{The page turns to see silhouettes of everyone, and Homestar has reached the end.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Ten!"

''{The Prince of Town}'' "And the Duckie-man is the winner. Loser gets the egg."

''{The background music plays several confused notes, then the page turns to a closeup of Homestar, with Strong Bad and the egg in the background.}''

''{Homestar}'' "WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}" ''{Strong Bad}'' "Hooray a-for me!!"

''{The page turns to show Strong Mad holding the egg over his head while Strong Bad watches.}''

And so Strong Mad helped to break open the egg. ''{Strong Mad tosses the egg}''

''{Turn the page to see the egg broke and a bunch of fishsticks pour out.}''

And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!

''{The Cheat springs out of the egg, then the page turns to a closeup of The Cheat.  Turn the page again to see Strong Bad and The Cheat with the egg in the background.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!"

''{The page turns again, showing everyone hanging out by a boombox.}''

And so, The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox with high-speed dubbing and everybody put their weight on it! ''{The Cheat plays a remix of the original intro music for H*R.com, and everyone dances.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad sitting at the stool, talking to Homestar, who's sitting on the ground listening to the tale.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So that's pretty much how it all went down, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, yes. Read me another one! Another one!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ohhhhh, very well. This one's called The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw! 

''{Strong Bad pulls out a children's book of the same name. Compy beeps and turns blue with the caption "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails." and ASCII art fireworks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—whoah! Would ya look at that! 100 emails. I had no idea! I lost count around 51. Well, I suppose I should do something to celebrate... uh... ooh! I'll say email 100 times!

''{Strong Bad proceeds to say the word "email" 100 times. [[The Paper]] comes down partway through this.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{after saying the last "email"}'' Oo. I'm pa—I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water. 

''{A glass of water appears onscreen.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The DVD commentary for this episode reveals several interesting facts—originally, it would have been animated in the normal style, and would have told a different story, until the Brothers Chaps decided to re-write it halfway through. Originally, story elements included Strong Bad wearing a star shirt, and Marzipan attempting to do something about Homestar's awful fashion sense (his [[Duckie Shirt|duckie shirt]], and also in this version, a pair of sandals). She gets him a star shirt, and Strong Bad rips his own shirt off in protest, which is why nowadays, Strong Bad almost never wears a shirt.
*The email was assigned the URL of "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html," breaking the convention of the previous ninety-nine.  This was done because of [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "E-mail" exactly 100 times.  
**The Paper comes down during "e-mails" #28 through #30.
**For #49 he distinctly says "e-MAIL-a."
**For #67 he quickly says "e-mail-mail-nahduhluh."
**For #72 he says "e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail."
**"E-mails" #91 and #92 blend together so much that it sounds like "email—mail," but if it was just one "e-mail" then there would only be 99, so it has been accepted to be 2 separate "e-mails."
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*This email has the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. It's second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], to [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]'s ten.
*Old-Timey Strong Bad appearing with half a mustache was inspired by a waiter [[The Brothers Chaps]] once encountered who sported the same odd facial hair style.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#Cave Quest|Cave Quest]]".
*At 5 minutes in length, this was longest Strong Bad Email when it was released, and is the longest [[Compy 386]]-era email.

===Remarks===
* Strong Bad walks ten steps before he even crosses the starting line.
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be making it up. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*Strong Bad couldn't have lost count at email 51 because in [[caffeine|Email #91]] the intro is "Coming in at number 91, it's, EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL."  
**Also, he knew that it was the 100th email because he confronted users trying to find the email before it was finished in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true.  He answered two in [[50 emails]], two more in [[2 emails]] (3 more if you count the email answered while the clip was in fast forward), and you could say he answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). If you count by each toon being an e-mail, then he still answered in excess of 103 e-mails, since the three bonus e-mails on the DVD are presumably pre-100th. In addition, there is a "preview email" in the [[Toons Menu]] and never before seen emails in [[personal favorites]].  So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails.  The hundredth email was actually answered somewhere between Emails 83-94.
*Though the style of the artwork and the voice acting for most of the characters resembled closely that of the classic Homestar cartoons, Strong Bad, for some reason, sounds nothing like the real "old-school" Strong Bad in the flashback. Old Strong Bad's manner of speaking was very loud and dramatic (almost overacted), and he had a strong Mexican accent. "Old-school" Strong Bad in the flashback is just the opposite, speaking in a monotonic, mumbling fashion.
*When he reads the Tandy e-mail, his accent is more like it is in the old cartoons (most notably, he pronounces "you" as "joo" a few times).
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prance| prancy]].
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]] on the site.
*If you look closely at Mary in the Limozeen Easter egg, you can see that he is wearing a Strong Bad baseball cap.
*The Old-Timey Strong Bad easter egg contradicts "That A Ghost", in which old-timey Strong Bad's mustache is depicted as bone. The Easter egg shows it as hair.
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, Gary and Mary seem to start reacting to Larry's line "We're from the band Limozeen!" before he finishes saying it.

===Goofs===
*"Svelt" is actually spelled "svelte".
*At the very end of the email, changing the contrast on the Compy does not affect the glass of water on the screen.
*When Strong Bad says, "Keep up the pace, gotta break 4:40", there is no period at the end of the sentence.
*When Strong Mad breaks the egg, it cracks, but we see nothing inside.  Later, we see "the lifetime supply of fishsticks" that is inside the egg.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad shifts the screen left, the carpet appears to slide to the right, moving without the stool and the table.
*When Homestar looks down in sadness (before Strong Bad shifts himself to the left to start the flashback) the lining for his head pops out of his shirt.
*In the Prince of Town Easter egg, we hear a brief blip of Homestar's Easter egg right at the end.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad first uses "grrl" (seen here as grrrl) in [[i she be]]. The word is also used in the [[Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad Menu]] and [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Old-style Marzipan, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad are from the [[Museum Sketchbook|concept sketches]].
*Old-style Coach Z and Bubs are from "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]."
*The Cheat also mashed play on a [[Ghetto Blastro|jambox]] in "[[Everybody Knows It]]."
*The [[Telebision|TV]] in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from an old H*R.com main menu.
*The two e-mails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*Senor Cardgage's use of the word "[[Combolations|combolations]]" is a reference to the ending credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*In the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad says "Man, so cool!"  He said the same thing in [[kind of cool]] as well.
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prance| prancy]].
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]] on the site.

=== Real-World References ===
*The widescreen is 750×400 pixels, a perfect 1.85:1 [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]]. Normal toons are 550×400, or 1.375:1.
*The guitar Larry is holding in the Limozeen egg is the same guitar that Homestar Runner steals in [[Puppet Time]], a Hamer "Bat" spin-off of the more popular [[Wikipedia:Gibson Explorer|Gibson Explorer]] shape. The bass the other guy is holding is a [[Wikipedia:Fender|Fender]] Jazz-Bass.
**It may also be a [[Wikipedia:Jackson Kelly|Jackson KE3 Kelly]] model.
*The melty candy bar Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad/Senor Cardgage holds up near the end appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Zagnut|Zagnut bar]], which was also seen in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*"Put your weight on it!" was a famous line from the [[Wikipedia:Dolemite|Dolemite]] movie ''Disco Godfather.''
*The Old-timey Easter egg shows very strong similarities to elements of the story of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_and_hyde  Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.]

== DVD Version ==
*The Limozeen video is now in fullscreen and much higher quality.
**In addition, you can use your DVD player's angle Button while watching the Limozeen clip to change the clip's background image. There are three separate backgrounds in all.
*Due to it being widescreen, the characters in this email look a little stretched out from top to bottom, unless you are watching it on a widescreen TV. Computer monitors seem to have this problem as well.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' The guitar just fell on the floor.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ooh, I like this, uh, part. The song&mdash;

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should make a full song of that. And I'll never forget the way it was, Mike. I thought&mdash; I wanted it to be this sort of nostalgic punk rock song, you know, 'cause, what if we decided after doing a hundred we weren't going to make anymore Strong Bad Emails? So I wanted it to kinda be like that.

'''MIKE:''' We decided to do more.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' At least twelve more as of this commen&mdash; as of the time of this commentary.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. So Abdi LaRue, uh, was our first, uh, the first email.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm, that's true.

'''MATT:''' Was he just a fan that we tal&mdash; that just emailed a lot early&mdash; in the early days?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yup.

'''MATT:''' Or&mdash; he or she, we don't really know&mdash; do we know the gender of Abdi LaRue? I always assumed it was a guy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah...?

'''MATT:''' Abdi, if you&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' I don't know any other Abdis, so&mdash;

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true. So this&mdash; we&mdash; a lot&mdash; a lot of gimmicks sort of in this one, visually. Uh, the widescreen thing...

'''MIKE:''' The song at the beginning. Cave Quest there&mdash;

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' That&mdash; That&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' Home&mdash; White character.

'''MATT:''' A game Mike and I made, Cave Quest.

'''MIKE:''' On the Apple II...

'''MATT:''' C+

'''MIKE:''' C++

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Low-res graphics text interface&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' He threw a spear, at this dinosaur&mdash;

'''MATT:''' He threw a rock at one, to knock the spear out of the little dinosaur's mouth.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh. And it showed the animation of the rock falling against the, uh&mdash; across the screen.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So this is done in the style of the original children's book, uh, that [[Craig Zobel]], and I&mdash; myself made in 1996. Um, so these were the original&mdash; That drawing of Coach Z was done, like a couple of years later.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I like that little, like, that little lip, the little flair on the "Z" that used to exist&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Because like&mdash; 'Cause he was originally going to have hair like that, didn't he?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah he had like&mdash;

'''MATT:''' On like some early drawings you did, where it has a little "Z" hair sort of.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I like the way he walks, there. It looks good, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.

'''MATT:''' So this whole email, we got very far into this email and then completely rewrote it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, if you watch the, um, Making of the Hundredth Email time-lapse which is on this DVD in the Bonus Features section&mdash;

'''MATT:''' Three disc set, Strong Bad Emails DVD!

'''MIKE:''' That's right. But anyway, if you watch, you can see me making graphics if you look closely of, like, Strong&mdash; of Homestar wearing sandals.

'''MATT:''' Yeah he's got the duckshirt on, but it's like regular graphics. It's&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' It's using the regular style, yeah. It's before we decided to do&mdash; and you can see, like, in the second day of the time-lapse, Matt's looking&mdash; like writing, and is pretty much rewriting the whole thing.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um, there was lots of stuff about his duckshirt, like, originally, Marzipan gives him his star shirt.

'''MATT:''' Right. Er, we kinda overdid the origin of things.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Like, we were explaining&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' Because Strong Bad had a star shirt on, too, and he tore it off because he didn't want to wear one&mdash;

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' &mdash;because Homestar had one too&mdash;

'''MATT:''' And he had never put a shirt on since then.

'''MIKE:''' And that was why&mdash; And that was why Strong Bad never wore a shirt again.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a good Marzipan mouth. ''{imitating Strong Bad}'' Augh!

'''MIKE:''' Do it, Strong Bad, do it!

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' That little silhouette&mdash; The yellow silhouetted thing is a staple of the Dennis the Menace comics.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' Usually the third frame is the yellow silhouette.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true.

'''MIKE:''' I love that.

'''MATT:''' And so in the Easter egg, the fishsticks do sort of explain why the King of Town is&mdash; is fat&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' &mdash;and got this lifestyle.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that old Bubs! Lookin' good!

'''MATT:''' That's of course, uh, on the left side is, uh, Mr. Bland&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' &mdash;doing cartwheels. Then on the right is Senor&mdash; Se&ntilde;or.

'''MATT:''' Se&ntilde;or Havin' A Little Trouble is his full name. Now Strong Mad is great. And Strong Sad too, is&mdash; got little stubs for arms. I like how this is like&mdash; Homestar's so excited. ''{Mike laughs}'' He's sat down and is like crowded around the campfire. We should make that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So, are we gonna do the commentary of him saying "email" a hundred times?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should talk over it anyway.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, what should we talk about? Maybe um...

'''MATT:''' Anything else about this email? This hundredth email? It was kind of a&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' It took three days to make&mdash;

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was defin&mdash;

'''MIKE:''' Took a long time to make.

'''MATT:''' It's one of the longest ones. One of the biggest file size-wise.

'''MIKE:''' Um&mdash;

'''MATT:''' What did w&mdash; Oh, we had just met for the first time Jonathan Howe, the guy that programs all our games for us. We had just met him in person for the first time, and came down to visit, and then he left on... Monday morning? Or was it Sunday?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think Monday morning.

'''MIKE:''' This was Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and we put it up on Tuesday night.

'''MATT:''' But we didn't decide to make the hundredth email, we had been kind of putting it off because we knew we had to make it a big deal. And so we didn't do it until, like, uh, we decided it that day, basically, right? On that Sunday, that we were like, "Ah, let's just do it," like we were going to do some other update or do&mdash; or try and put it off, and we just decided to pull the trigger on it or we'd always be putting it off.

'''MIKE:''' There. We're done.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Lemonade Stand.
