'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{muttering}'' Ow-mnow, mnow, mnow... ''{louder}'' Mow-mnow, mnow, mnow... ''{stops muttering}''

<blockquote class="short tandy email">Dear strong bad,<br />
my brothers are always telling me that your <br />
legs are made of tape, is that true?<br />
-Nicolas</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nee-''co''-las. ''{typing}'' They said my legs were made of tape?! WHAT?? I mean, do I look like some kind of tape-leg? I can guarantee you, man, I am not a tape-leg.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and lifts his leg up, where a piece of masking tape is stuck on the bottom of his shoe.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, look at this leg. Look... look at it there... Oh wait a minute, what's that on- OH, there's a little piece of tape on my shoe! 

''{Strong Bad removes the tape, and lowers his leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's what they were probably talking about. Yeah. You probably misunderstood them, man. No, they probably said I had tape on my leg or my shoe and you thought they said that my leg was made of tape. My leg is not made of tape. Pfffph! I must've just stepped on an innocent piece of tape...tape. ''{stops typing}'' All right, so until next week, send me some good ones. You know, some ''good'' ones. ''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad does not say the word "email" in his opening.
*In the previous email, [[stand-up]], [[Lil' Strong Bad]] was seen with fleshed legs when his pants fell.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Tape-Leg 1, not to be confused with Tape-Leg 2."

===Remarks===
*Not only can Strong Bad [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|type with boxing gloves on]], but he can do so with one hand. He types while he is ripping the tape off.
*The audio quality changes for the line "Pfffph! I must've just stepped on an innocent piece of tape...tape." and then changes back for the rest of the email.
===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad is holding up his arm with the tape, his arm cannot be seen in the computer's reflection.
===Fast Forward===
*An email which endures much controversy over its quality, "tape-leg" is referred to by other emails and toons on the site (see [[Tape-leg]]).
*Strong Bad asks for some good emails in the next week. [[spring cleaning|The following week]], Strong Bad [[DELETED|deletes]] 5 bad emails and there is no evidence that he ever got any good ones.
