STRONG BAD: Oh-you-thought-there-was-no-more-emails-but-guess-what-there's-an-EMAIL!

{reading email}

Dear Strong Bad,
I want to start a new website but I
don't have any ideas of what to do for
my website. I was wondering if you
could give me some ideas for my new
website. This website will be cool and
I'll e-mail you when I'm done.

Sincerely Yours:
James

{Strong Bad says "Website. I mean, James" instead of just "James"}

STRONG BAD: {typing} You know James, I've been around this great, big internet a few times, so I know what I'm talking about, and I can safely say, that whatever idea you have is completely unimportant as long as you adhere to these fundamentals: {clears screen} First of all, you want to start out with a long flash intro. {stops typing} Like this one The Cheat made for me.

{"The Cheat presents" on a black background appears on the screen, followed by two green bean-shaped eyes.}

STRONG BAD: Check it out, those are supposed to be my eyes, I think.

{The eyes fade and the letters "SB" appear. "Strong" and "Bad" are inside each letter}

STRONG BAD: that stands for my name.

{The "S" and "B" turn into "The Web" in cursive}

STRONG BAD: The web.

{"The Web" turns into "Welcomes 'u' '2'" with only letters going horizontally and vertically. The words "strong bad's cybersite" appear in red below "Welcomes 'u' '2'". A rainbow circle about 3/4 the size of the "2" comes and rolls in, stopping at the quotation mark before the "2"}

STRONG BAD: That little rainbow thing's kinda cool.

{The word "cybersite" turns into rainbow colors. The words exit and a blackhole-kinda thing appears.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, go through the tunnel, oh look out!

{As he says "Oh, look out!", a hand appears to punch you, and after it does, the word "OUCH!" appears above it. The words "Get on in!" appear in a long button.}

STRONG BAD: Oh, you got punched! Aw, man, right in the face. {typing} Okay, next on the checklist: LOTS of animated GIFS! {He pronounces it gifs instead of jifs} {stops typing} or... jifs... or however you say it. I don't know. I heard a couple of nerds arguing about it one time. But you want as many of those as possible. Especially the rotate-y kind. Those are awesome, man. Nobody gets tired of looking at those. {typing} So, then you can pretty much just pick whatever for your subject. It doesn't really matter as long as you got the rest of that stuff on there. {stops typing} I mean, {resumes typing} James, the internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens. You need to take advantage of that. {stops typing}I mean, you can make a webpage of your cat.

{A picture of a cat lying on a football with red eye thinking "It's 4th and 10. Now WHERE'S MY SUPPER?!?" appears}

STRONG BAD: or your The Cheat.

{A picture of the cheat sleeping on a couch on its back on a couch thinking "It's 4th and 10. I hate cats."}

STRONG BAD: And, {typing} Who knows? Maybe tomorrow you'll be really big in Pakistan. Or at least, with some guy named Stan. {Stops typing}Anyways, I gotta go work on my webpage.

{Strong Bad leaves. The Paper comes down}

Easter Eggs

• Click on "Get on in" to go to Strong Bad's Website.

Fun Facts

• Strong Bad's Website is a parody of every overly ambitious, poorly executed, cluttered, pointless website that was ever made on the free webservers like Tripod and Geocities. Websites every bit as crappy as his abounded in the late 90's.
• According to "flashback," this is where Strong Bad lost count of the emails.
• The "get on in" flash link during the email itself is clickable, but doesn't do anything.
• The cat featured in the email is Mabel, owned by Matt Chapman and his wife Jackie.

DVD Version

• Strong Bad's website isn't browsable on the DVD. However, the intro to his website is still accessible (via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower right corner of the Compy 386 screen).

• Note that the DVD version of the intro is out of sync - Strong Bad begins talking long before the animation ends.
