Revision as of 23:39, 7 May 2006

Strong Bad Email is the most frequently updated feature of the Homestar Runner website. It was originally a small feature introduced in 2001, in which Strong Bad would mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. Although the animations were initially brief, the responses gradually grew to establish numerous catchphrases, inside jokes, and running gags; as well as spin-offs like Trogdor, 20X6, Teen Girl Squad, and even the main character Homsar. Without strongbad email, Trogdor and others would not exist. A typical Strong Bad Email will also include numerous Easter eggs and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen.

Not Quite Strong Bad Emails

The following shorts were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails. They are numbered by halves to show where they appeared chronologically in the list above. Numbers 99½B and 118½ are not linked to from anywhere on the site.

• 136½. Sick Day (A failed attempt at an email due to sickness striking the entire cast.)
  
• 127½. HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS! ("The Email Show" is one of the pay-per-view features.)
  
• 118½. Strong Bad Email? (Broken Compy Menu.)
  
• 99½B. Not the 100th Email!!! (Secret URL address for anyone who wanted a peek at Email 100 before it was released.)
  
• 99½A. Puppet Time (A message was taped onto Puppet Compy's screen that read "Probably at a barbecue, from SB")
  
• 68½. Lookin at a Thing in a Bag (A message was taped onto the Compy in the email menu that read "Looking at a thing in a bag" when the cartoon was released.)
  
• 66½. Arcade Game (Homestar Runner reads Strong Bad's note he left on the Compy 386.)
  
• 59½. Superbowl Dealie (The Paper reads "Due to the big game, the Strong Bad Email will be late this week.")
  
• 55½. Too Busy to Check E-mails (Typed on the Compy is "No emails on the holidays.")
  
• 41½. King of Town Email (The King of Town tries to answer an email on his recently bought (but broken) Tandy 400.)
  
• 36½. Toons Menu (Placing the mouse over Strong Bad Email will bring up a short, soundless email from Stu. See Wireless Bizness.)
  

Strong Bad Email Menus

• 1–32 Tandy 400 menu
• 33–34 Broken Tandy Menu
• 35–40 Slightly damaged Tandy menu
• 41 Vacation menu
• 42–118 Compy 386 menu
  • Between 55 and 56 Decemberween Email Menu
  • Between 118 and 119 Broken Compy Menu
• 119–Current Lappy 486 menu

Fun Facts

Trivia

• Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays."
• On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "dir /p", a DOS command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
• Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 178 emails as of senior prom.
• Email #22, "sb_email 22" was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
• Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July, 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:

Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid.
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough,
I'll answer it on the site.
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright.
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it.
Click Here to see us in action!
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes.
Watch me while I'm awesome,
Strong Bad

The link in the automated response leads to the Email Processing Room.

• After random.bat was implemented, the email list comes from the rando.xml file. Before this, it was included in the flash file.
• Occasionally, there is a lengthy gap between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in army and geddup noise.

Remarks

• At Flashforward 2006, The Brothers Chaps gave a list of five things not to email Strong Bad about.
• During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can see the list of emails and use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
