Transcript

STRONG BAD: {singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"} Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email.

STRONG BAD: Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the {typing} Transitive Butt Property. {stops typing} And it clearly states that the stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head.

{He types "stupid (butt) ≥ stupid (head)," then clears the screen to bring up Bad Graphics Homestar.}

STRONG BAD: So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance. {laughing} Look at his stupid head! {labels Homestar's head "stupid (head)"} Look at how stupid his head is. {stops laughing} Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that easily his butt is going to be at least as stupid {labels Homestar's butt as "stupid (butt)"} if not stupider. {relabels butt as "stupid/stupider (butt)"} So there you have it. Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.

{The Paper comes down, reading "Click here to e-mail strong bad"}

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • This is the first email ending with "Crapfully Yours," or a variation thereof.
  • The paper at the end is shorter in length than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of Homestar).

Remarks

  • Normally, transitivity principles are used to infer a relation between two variables based on their relations with a third variable. For example, transitivity of "is great than or equal to" implies that if a\geq b and b\geq c, then a\geq c.

Goofs

  • For a split second when Strong Bad's text goes up and bad graphics Homestar Runner appears, the text appears outside of the computer screen.

Inside References

Fast Forward

  • The punk rock band The Reunion Show named one of their songs for their 2002 debut album "Kill Your Television" from this email. The name of the 9th song on the album is "On a Scale from One to Awesome (You're Pretty Great)".
