''{Strong Bad pronounces "geroge" literally, as in "gee-roje" with a hard G}''
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no way, Geroge ''{same as before}''. We tried that once. Trust me, man. Bad idea.

''{The scene changes and we see Strong Bad standin' there. He hears a bird singing and he looks up and around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over}'' Umm... so this is another part where it's just me. And I'm kinda standing around. You know, just standing. I guess I don't do very much. No wait, I just scratched my head. Yeah, I remember that part. I totally had to scratch my head then, man. I can't remember exactly what I was looking at there. Er, I think it was like a bird, or maybe a cloud that looked like a bird. You know, like a bird cloud.

''{The scene changes back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I dunno. That wasn't so bad actually. You know it's like, all Strong Bad, all the time! But you know what they say, "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad." ''{stops typing}'' All right, so until next time send me a little email and I'll give you a little crap. 

''{[[The Paper]] comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad - [mailto:strongbad@homestarrunner.com strongbad@homestarrunner.com]", click on the text to email him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, this is where I just finished checking my email and I'm just kinda sitting there. You know, I...I think I was probably staring at my computer screen. You know, watching those green lines go by. I'd be like "Whoa, check at these green lines!" You know, they just keep going. ''{His eyes turns to green hypnotic circles and his head sways a little.}'' Those things could hypnotize you, man. If you watch them long enough. ''{His head drops to the keyboard.}'' Oh, see! There I go.

===Trivia===
*This is the first e-mail where the paper reads "Click here to e-mail strong bad strongbad@homestarrunner.com" instead of just "Click here to e-mail strong bad".
*Geroge could quite possibly be a mispelling of the name George.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad hits the keyboard, no letters appear onscreen.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version adds a hidden commentary by Strong Bad and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]. Just change the language selection on your DVD player while watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Strong Bad]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes email 21!

'''MIKE:''' So, I'm here again with Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi Mike!

'''MIKE:''' How's it goin'?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pretty good.

'''MIKE:''' So, um... We're going to have you do—this will be, like, uh, three layers of commentary on this.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, yes.

'''MIKE:''' It might be hard to understand with so many Strong Bad voices going on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well I'm not talking in this part—

'''MIKE:''' Yes you are

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm talking ''over'' the talking. I ju- I remember doing the commentary for this part, watching myself, and I was looking around, you know, and my head looked really weird, 'cause you weren't very good at Flash yet. And, uh, I tippy-tapped... I was totally tippy-tappin' the toes... It ''was'' a bird cloud.

'''MIKE:''' You—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I remember now

'''MIKE:''' You remember now

'''STRONG BAD:''' After all this time, I had a—a regression hypno-therapies, and it was, just, it

'''MIKE:''' Everything that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Clearly'' a bird cloud

'''MIKE:''' Was there anything you remembered from your hypno-therapy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes

'''MIKE:''' From your past?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' What else?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I—

'''MIKE:''' Do you remember what the "R" in "routine" stands for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did ''{angry}'' until you just said it, I did!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, and now you forgot?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—aww, but if you hadn't brought it up, I'd have totally just said that.

'''MIKE:''' I... well...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man. 

'''MIKE:''' So is this when you got the hypno-therapy right here? 'Cause it looks like, here in a second, you start to get hypnotized.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but they did the same thing! They made me look at an old Apple monitor.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So this is me at the end of the email lookin' at the end of the email ''{starts speeding up}'' lookin' at the end of the email lookin' at the end of the email lookin' at—oh no! I've been through the time warp! Mike! It's yesterday!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs a little}'' Oh really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! We're working on an email or something, I don't remember! Ohh... I hit the cheese.

'''MIKE:''' Hit the cheese.

=== Fun Facts ===
*Mike asking Strong Bad what the "R" in "routine" stands for is a reference to [[morning routine]].
