- This is the only email that is not a letter of some kind, and the first one to feature an attachment.
- This is the first time Strong Bad deleted something in anger, although we don't see the now-standard "DELETED" screen.
- It is also the first Strong Bad Email to feature dialogue that takes place after The Paper comes down.
- This is also the first instance of Strong Bad's computer exceeding its technical boundaries—in this case, displaying Temple of Apshai and the Hairstyle Runner in full color and resolution on a supposedly monochrome monitor.
- This is the first sbemail to say "Crap".
Remarks
- When Strong Bad is playing Temple of Apshai, his figure keeps moving in the same pattern.
Inside References
- The game Strong Bad refers to as his game is Strong Libs.
Real-World References
- Temple of Apshai is a real role-playing computer game from Epyx. However, the graphics on Strong Bad's screen are not from Temple of Apshai, but are actually a cut-and-paste job from an old ZX Spectrum game called Chaos: Battle of the Wizards.
DVD Version
- The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
Commentary Transcript
(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)
MATT: This has a big inconsistency in it with the abilities of his old computer—
MIKE: {laughs} Yeah, displaying the color picture.
MATT: Yeah. Not only can it display JPEGs, it can display a full-color one. Yeah. And there's also a reference to, uh, to Strong Bad Libs in it, huh?
MIKE: Yeah. We still occasionally get a Strong Bad Lib if someone's watched this email and then...
MATT: And then does one.
{long pause}
MATT: Say—
MIKE: Not a lot of animation going on in this one.
MATT: Yeah, this was, uh...
MIKE: This one would probably take us— we could probably do this in under 20 minutes nowadays.
MATT: {laughs a little} Probabl—
MIKE: It probably took us 6 hours at the time, but...
MATT: Yep. And then now here it's color, color for Temple of Apshai, too.
MIKE: Yeah.
MATT: Why? I mean, he could be playing, like, Final Fantasy on this according to—
MIKE: That's a skeleton. That's a skeleton. That blue, isn't that? Isn't that the skeletons from—
MATT: Yeah. I always thought it looked like that blue thing, you know, {quickly} The Close Encounters of the Third Ki—
Fun Facts
