Strong Sad

Biography

Strong Sad is the depressing person. The youngest of the Brothers Strong, he is often the subject of Strong Bad's practical jokes. In fact, Strong Bad has quite a list of nicknames he's used for Strong Sad. The only people who tolerate him are Marzipan and Homsar. Once in a while Bubs may say a word to him. Marzipan doesn't really like to invite him to parties, as he gets everyone down. He has an iPod and loves to play board games. His interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, poetry, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, & arts b/w crafts. He is also a poet. He keeps a blog, updated sometimes, that is called Strong Sad's Lament. Strong Sad got his bellybutton from a "toy" Strong Bad received on his birthday

Character Video Transcript

{Page Title: Poetry Slam!!}

{Open with a black screen. We can hear voices}

STRONG SAD: I don't wanna do a characters page!

MARZIPAN: Oh, come on, you can do it!

{Marzipan takes the lens cap off, and we can see Strong Sad standing in his room}

STRONG SAD: I'm not really comfortable talking to a camera.

MARZIPAN: {offscreen} Just pretend like you're talking to me, or a wall, or a tree, or any of the other stuff that you usually talk to.

STRONG SAD: Ohhhhhh! My name's Strong Sad and... I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour, on the hour. I mostly sit in my room, and... listen to music, and write, and talk to walls or trees... and wait to be pummeled... I guess I like board games more than most people. And by that I mean I like to play board games more than most people do. But by that I also mean I like board games more than I like most people. Like this one time, me and Hi-Ho Cherry-O! were playing a game of Life, and I got a phone call from... Coach Z or somebody. And, I didn't answer it because I was having such a good time with playing this board game, against this other board game...

MARZIPAN: {offscreen} Okay, I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

STRONG SAD: And it got me thinking, you know? Two lovers...alive...

MARZIPAN: {offscreen} Okay, okay, I'm turning it off now. {The camera stops.}

Fun Facts

• Matt Chapman has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which led to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in cheat talk)
• The Skate Party made a song called "Strong Sad Rocks Out" with a wiki user created music video for the song.
• During the "filming" of Strong Sad's character page, he runs his finger up and down the border of the left camera frame when he says "talk to walls or trees", even though his wall is much further left, as can be seen in the background poster.
