(I still say we don't need to mention keys directly. And you can EASILY come up with better examples than these.)
(And doing this right on the examples provided. Mentioning the exact keys (especially when the characters are sliding around) is ridiculously nitpicky.)

A lot of the time, especially in Strong Bad Emails, when one or more characters sings to music, they sing in a key that does not match the tune they are singing to. This usually happens when the music clip is very brief.

Examples

  • One Two, One Two — Strong Bad doesn't match Marzipan's key. Furthermore, his final line is extremely wobbly.
  • Email fan club — When Strong Sad sings the Strong Badia National Anthem, he's slightly sharp.
  • Where U Goin' 2 — Marzipan says, "This part's in D." The Cheat sings an off-key note. Marzipan says, "Ooh, that's not D." The Cheat then sings a much higher, but still off-key, note. Marzipan says, "How about C?" causing The Cheat to yell at her and storm off. Marzipan remarks that this is "close enough".
  • Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig — If Homestar Runner tries to "sing a song" to get a stirring utensil from Bubs, the song will be nonsensical and hideously off-key, causing Bubs to plug his ears before handing Homestar a chewed-up pen.
  • Secret Song — Homestar slides around while singing, and his piano accompaniment is similarly off.
  • The Best Decemberween Ever — Strong Sad's part in the song at the end is extremely flat.
