{Scene opens to typical Internet Explorer 6 error message. The sound of the wind blowing can be heard.}
{Strong Bad walks on to the screen from the left to confront the viewer.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, I suppose you think you're {sways his hips} pretty clever, huh? Thought you would find something you weren't supposed to see yet? Well, it's not—

STRONG BAD: Yeah, chew on that one for a while... {mumbles as he walks off} Teach you to poke around in my HTML...
{A handwritten sticky note, which is supposed to be a system alert message, is slapped onto the screen; it reads:}

[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Explanations
- In the two weeks following different town, the 99th Strong Bad Email, fans eagerly awaited the release of the 100th Strong Bad Email. After being teased by Teen Girl Squad Issue 5, Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2, and Puppet Time, many people grew impatient waiting for the 100th email. Because it wasn't linked anywhere on the site, some users went so far as to check the expected URL for the email directly. The only way this could be done was to type "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html" into their address bar, following the format used for the previous 99 emails. This URL led to the usual 404'd page, until about 2:20 a.m. ET on Tuesday, March 16, 2004, which was when users were greeted by this secret toon.
[edit] Trivia
- This toon is notable among secret pages, as it was intended to be found despite never being directly linked to.
- For a short while, the links to Strong Bad Emails on the Broken Compy Menu were out of sync with their placement in the menu, so clicking on car brought the viewer to this toon.
- The total number of frames in this file is exactly four hundred four (404). (29 frames have been added in after the Flash file stops to bring it to this count.)
[edit] Remarks
- Since the file for this animation was named "sbemail100.html" on the Flash website, the actual hundredth email's file name was "sbemailahundred.html".
- As of the post-Flash site update, flashback now occupies the numerical URL for consistency. As a result, this toon is now located at the "sbemail100" URL, without the ".html".
- The name of the Flash file is 100th_email, so there is no sbemail100.swf on the Flash website.
- This toon had no officially listed title until the post-Flash site update, when the page title listed the toon's name as "Sbemail 100 fakeout".
[edit] Inside References
- The Internet Explorer 6 error page previously appeared in The System is Down.
- The fake system report is from 50 emails. Homestar put up a nearly identical one when he caused an error on the Compy 386.
- This is another reference to Homestar Runner's pants.
- This entire short is a fourth wall break.
