== Transcript ==

''{Strong Bad bounces his head slowly up and down, right and then left while he sings "Emaillll eeeemailll eeemmailll...", sounding like a car going through its gear shifts}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
What do you sound like when you have sex with Marzipan? 
 
Shack 
Whittier</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh I dunno, Shaq. ''{First he types "Shack" with "q", then he erases "q" and types down "ck" instead.}'' I haven't done that in a while. Though I think we have some leftover balloons from a party we threw last night. Lemme see.

''{Strong Bad leaves his seat and goes to a room where Strong Mad and The Cheat are standing. Strong Bad takes a yellow helium balloon and breathes it in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey guys, how do you like my sounds? ''{Strong Mad laughs.}'' Pretty great, huh? I sound like...one of the Golden Girls. Or, like, some type a guy who might...sing a song. You know like ''{singing}'' "Welcome to the High Voice Crew! I hope you have a high voice, too! When you've got a high voice, you don't have a choice, ''{His voice gradually falls down to his ordinary tone.}'' your voice is high all the time. Welcome to the High Vo..." ''{stops singing}'' Oh, I guess...I got kicked out of the High Voice Crew.

'''STRONG MAD:''' MEEEE!!!!! ''{Strong Mad takes a blue helium balloon angrily}'' MEEEEEEEE!!! ''{He breathes it in but his voice doesn't change.}'' THIS IS MY FUNNY VOICE!! THIS IS MY FUNNY VOICE!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's a pretty funny one, big guy. ''{He scratches his head and The Cheat inhales nearly all of the helium from a blue balloon. The balloon suddenly turns inside-out and gets stuck inside The Cheat, who is now a large, round, floating The Cheat. He flies smoothly across the room.}'' Aagghh...I've got a wicked head rush...

''{Homestar Runner and Marzipan are standing in front of each other in the park.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So from then on, it was pork and beans.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don't know if that's entirely healthy.

''{Homestar Runner looks above behind him and sees The Cheat floating.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Marzipan. Check out that ugly bird.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, I think that bird is The Cheat.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way! The Cheat is one fine-looking young man. ''That'' is an ugly bird.

''{The Cheat continues to float in the sky as [[The Paper]] comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*Click on The Cheat as he floats by the second time to hear Strong Sad say, "I'm sad that he's flying."

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This email marks the first appearence of Marzipan's new mouth movement style. (Look closely at how her mouth moved in cartoons like [[Where's The Cheat?]] and you will see the change.)
*Strong Bad's voice while he breathed helium was only his regular voice sped up. You can tell this when Strong Bad's voice is returning to normal - his song gradually slows down.

===Glitches===
*When The Cheat becomes clickable, you can quickly double-click him for Strong Sad's message to overlap itself.

===Inside References===
*During the helium scene, a keg that reads "[[Melonade|melonade]]" sits off to the side, which is the same keg from the old [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] cartoon.
*The Strong Sad quote is from [[Main Page 15]], where he says "I'm sad that I'm flying."

===Real-World References===
*When addressing Shack, Strong Bad types Shaq by mistake and erases it quickly, referring to [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] player [[Wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaquille O'Neal]].
*After inhaling the helium, Strong Bad says he sounds like one of the Golden Girls. [[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]] was a popular sitcom about four eldery women that ran from September 1985 to September 1992.

==DVD Version==
*Strong Sad automatically says, "I'm sad that he's flying."

'''The Sneak''' (aka "[[The lady Swindler]]") is the [[1936]] version of [[The Cheat]]. The Sneak looks like an [[Wikipedia:opossum|Opossum]], and since he is always silent he communicates by waving his nose. He's the [[Strong Man]]'s greatest pal who loves to cause catastrophe with the [[1936 Strong Bad]]. He likes to dance both on the [[Wikipedia:Panama Canal|Panama Canal]] and a barrel labelled "not the Panama Canal." [[DaVinci's Notebook]] wrote a song for him, called the [[Ballad of The Sneak]], that was made into a cartoon of the same name. The lyrics in that song tell us that The Sneak is in fact yellow in color, despite the black and white nature of the 1936 cartoons.

== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters on [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|HomestarRunner.com]]. He started out as the villian , who always tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before Homestar Runner. Now he's less of a villian and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief. He answers [[Strong Bad Email |e-mails]] with a passion, usually every Monday or Tuesday. He will [[Spelling|make fun]] of your grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but doesn't seem to be worried about his own. He's [[Strong Sad]]'s big brother and [[Strong Mad]]'s little brother. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often ridiculing Strong Sad, abusing [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], kicking [[The Cheat]], or prank-calling [[Marzipan]]. He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), a Mexican wrestling mask for a head, and it is confirmed that the mask IS actually his head in [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/page5.html this interview]. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "holy crap." He hates to be asked "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|Hey, Strong Bad, how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]". He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!!]]''' The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head. Strong Bad owns his own country: [[Strongbadia]], a barren field behind the dumpster that is completely devoid of any sentient life.

He fancies himself as a criminal mastermind, and totally popular with the ladies, though there is little evidence of this latter claim, and even [[lures & jigs|admits]] by accident at one point that he doesn't really know anything about the ladies. He has delusions of grandeur about how much Marzipan likes him when she really doesn't like him at all. He seems to have a grudge against [[The Birds|birds]], as shown in issues of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He also loves to listen to Peter Frampton, [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]].

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque]]". He works with Homestar at an unnamed tech company, though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles as he often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and burns his bills with his BMW lighter. Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been banned from the UK, and often ridicules Eastern Europeans on their e-mails. He also hates children and old people.

''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strongbadia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several cardboard props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable. ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets?

== Fun Facts ==
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an "Ultramagnetic MC" song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultra-Magnetic MCs!!!!"
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the Nintendo video game "Tag Team Wrestling" created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads".
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Strong Bad has never closed his eyes completely, even when he is sleeping.
*Strong Bad has only used his super power once, in the e-mail [[super powers]].
*Strong Bad was origionally concieved as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you, girl! Woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words}'' Oh, would you email me, girl? Woman? ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Homestar's pants</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of 
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time. 
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some 
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe 
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants! 
Tootles! 
Clancy</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad skips everything after "Anyway" and before "I don't care" and, instead, says "Blabbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' dem red-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{returns to the email}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen input high-tech expensive device! Now in HD! ''{he pulls out a correction pen bearing the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it}'' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Expensive high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got! ''{re-reads the altered email}'' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{begins typing}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{clears screen, but the correction fluid remains}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E–

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! ''{camera pans back to show Homestar wearing very short purple pants}'' Check out my creepy pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking away}'' Ew, Homestar! What're you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?!

''{Homestar's pants shine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cuz you said, "creepy pants all the time get some."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get some what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Light globes?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stares flatly}'' ...Light globes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like in a lamp! Light globes! ''{his pants shine again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... you put on hot pants in the hopes of getting some lightbulbs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{correctively}'' Globes. ''{his pants shine again briefly as he says it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. Or your lack thereof... ...Daisy Dukes aside.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about, Strong Bad? ''{shakes leg}'' I wear long pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet. ''{indicates Homestar's feet}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants, I wear long pants. I'm a long pants man, long pants, long pants! ''{starts getting upset and dances around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, calm down... I didn't mean to-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumps high into the air, and convulses on Strong Bad's desk}'' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ''{starts teleporting around the room, first appearing in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the very foreground, then upside down under the desk, then in his original position, all while chanting the following}'' Long long long long long long pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that's it! We need to get you some serious clown care, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I was told long pants! Long pants! They said long pants! Always long pants! ''{leans toward Strong Bad}'' Long, my pants! Gleaming pants! Glorious pants! ''{runs away, leaving the Daisy Dukes behind. They fall and hook around Strong Bad's foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bleh! Egh! BLEEEGGEHHEGH!

''{He shakes his foot in a panic until the Daisy Dukes fly off and land on the floor some distance away, while The Cheat appears stage left to burn them with the [[BMW Lighter]]. They almost instantly combust with a noxious, neon green flame.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

''{The Cheat leaves, and Strong Bad turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Noice work, Clanky. You made Homestar go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out. And how am I supposed to get ''this'' crap offa here? ''{Everything starting with the "t" in "get" is obscured by the correction fluid. Strong Bad grabs a cloth and attempts to wipe it off the screen, to no avail. He mutters:}'' Stupid... made-up technology... that I made up... light pen... ''{mumbles a bit before yelling:}'' The Cheat! Call tech support and tell 'em you broke the Lappy again!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Selecting "wear pants" will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game. As you hover the cursor over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
* Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service, [[Kertified Klown Kare]]. It reads:
Kertified
Klown Kare

-Pie Injuries
-Giant Foot Problems
-Wacky Malaria
-Grease Paint Poisoning

"Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"
* Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {''Lying in bed with light globes beside and on the floor beneath him, crying''} Loooonnng paaaannnts!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sits up suddenly, surprised and upset}'' You're not a broom?

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*[[Wikipedia:Daisy Duke|Daisy Dukes]] are extremely short cut-offs, so named for the character from [[Wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]] television show that wore them.
*Strong Bad using the "light pen" to remove portions of the email draws from the joke about a fool who, being unexperienced with technology, used a correction fluid pen on his monitor in an attempt to remove misspelled words in a wordprocessing program.
*Parachute Pants are large billowy pants which come in at the waist and ankles with snug elastic bands.
*Homestar insists that he has "lightglobes", not lightbulbs. In Australia, it is common for lightbulbs to be called lightglobes.

=== Trivia ===
* This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.
* In the easter egg, the messages in the fortune cookies read "You are not as good as most people" before they are completely unraveled, probably because TBC only changed the writing on the cookie. The cookies also said "You are not as good as most people" in [[Fortune Cookies]].

=== Remarks ===
*When Strong Bad returns to the email after having opened up Edga Jr., all the text he had typed as a reply is gone, and only the email remains.
*Perhaps Strong Bad doesn't answer the original question because it is already shown why Homestar doesn't wear pants in an Easter Egg to [[monument]]. When Homestar was about to put some pants on, he was distracted by the [[Thnikkaman]] and wound up never wearing any. However, it is also possible that Homestar is actually wearing skin-tight, white pants at all times which may be why Coach Z "point[s] the blame squarely at tight pants[...] the tightest of pants." in [[super powers]].
*Homestar Runner's judo outfit in [[montage]] includes white pants.
*Strong Bad and Homestar note his lack of pants in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*Although Strong Bad has ruined the Lappy's screen in the email, it is still pristine in the current SB Email main menu.

*It is interesting that Strong Bad would be disgusted by the sight of Homestar in Daisy Dukes when one considers that Homestar supposedly wears no pants at all!

=== Goofs ===
*Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker and when applying the white out, no ripples pop up on the screen.
*After he clears the screen and starts writing about the age old question, Homestar comes in. You can clearly see the text the whole time Homestar is there, but when Homestar leaves and Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, it's gone.
*The Klown Kare easter egg (by clicking on the socket) can still be clicked in the same location on the screen when the scene moves around.
*When Homestar appears close-up to the computer, if you zoom in, you can see that the disk label is slightly garbled, like it would be in a JPEG file. This is because it actually IS a JPEG being used to show both Homestar and the part of the background placed behind him, as the JPEG format does not allow for transparency.
**Additionally, the image appears to be displayed slightly above its proper location.
*When Strong Bad is writing with his pen, the reflection doesn't show up.
**His reflection also doesn't show up when he's trying to get it off.
*There is a separate shadow on the white line in the Lappy's email client.

*When Homestar appears on the Lappy's screen, he isn't covered by the correction fluid, but rather, he shows up on top of it.

=== Inside References ===
*[[Edga Jr.]] is a reference to the e-mail [[virus]], in which his ambiguous relation, [[Edgarware|Edgar]], created Strong Bad's virus protection program. Also, Edgarware was made in "mom's basement", whereas Edga Jr. was made seven years later in "mom's sewing room".
*Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Intro]].
*[[Atari Homestar]] is from [[Main Page 13]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*The business card easter egg makes reference to the [[Tragic Clown Dog]] from [[part-time job]].
*Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (along with Homestar's response) may be a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".
*The noise made by Homestar's glowing pants is used often in [[Stinkoman]] cartoons.
*Strong Bad's "light pen" is based on his "light pen" from [[haircut]]—there, it was a black marker.
*The green smoke created when the pants are incinerated is similar to the odor given off by the rotten Chinese food in [[ghosts]].
*Strong Bad's opening song is suspiciously similar to the one in [[the show]].

=== Real-World References ===
*Strong Bad throwing cue cards away during the intro song is a reference to the [http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/weatherunderground/images/film_dylan.jpg music video] for Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan.
**It could also be a reference to the video "Need You Tonight/Mediate" by INXS.
*The [[Wikipedia:Light Pen|light pen]] was an input device that would make an EGA or CGA monitor into a touch screen of sorts. You touched a light sensor to the screen, and it would calculate a position by sensing the 'flicker' of the monitor's cathode ray. A real light pen could never work with the [[Lappy 486]], since LCD displays do not flicker.
*The fact that Strong Bad used a sharpie as a light pen could be a reference to [http://www.playvectrex.com/vectech/mvlp/mvlp_f.htm a Vextrex fan website] that has instructions on how to build a light pen out of a sharpie.
*[[Wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]] is an actor best known for his role as [[Batman]] on the campy '60s TV show. The Batman costume has tights with briefs over them, so Batman does not wear pants, either.

''{reading the email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
What would you do if you where stuck 
on an desert island with Homestar 
Runner? 
 
Yami Yugi 
England</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "were" instead of "where" and "a" instead of "an".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Yami Yugi ''{says the name hesitantly}'', I suspect it would be like most cartoons. You know, we'd start to go nuts after a while and I would look at Homestar and he would look like a big steak. And then Homestar would look at me and I'd look like ''{stops typing}'' you know ''{starts typing again}'' some kinda brownie sundae. ''{clears screen}'' So we'd chase each other around the island, trying to eat each other. And at some point my foot would look like a sandwich and I'd put salt on it and try to eat it and it's like, "Oh! It's my foot!!" ''{clears screen}'' But that's a best-case scenario. I'm sure in real life it would be much more annoying and painful with Dumpface involved. ''{he types "Dumpface" but says "Homestar"}''

''{cut to Homestar and Strong Bad on an island}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are we rescued yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna need to get rescued in a second if you don't quit asking me that.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhhhhh... Hey, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there ice cream yet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna need to get ice cream in a second if you don't quit asking me that. You know... 'cause I'm gonna hit you...and you'll need the ice cream to... stop the swelling.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Stinkoman.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... did you just call me Stinkoman?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, sir, I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Geez. You don't happen to have a gun on your side of the island, do you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Hey, Strong Bad, check this out! ''{turns away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, don't start with that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Toons! ''{An ocean liner passes by with a loud "toot"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Games! ''{An angry-looking, red-eyed, Moby Dick-style white whale, with harpoons embedded in its body, emerges from the left side of the water. It spurts water from its blowhole and then goes back into the water.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't do another—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' E-mail! ''{A propeller plane with a "WEAR A BIKINI" banner attached to it flies by}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, I love doing that. ''{A bottle washes up on the island.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, check it out. A message in a bottle. ''{takes a piece of paper out of the bottle and reads it}'' What?

<pre> January 20, 1985
Super
XIX
Bowl
Stanford Stadium
Stanford, California
Miami San Francisco
VS.
Dolphins 49ers</pre>

Super Bowl Nineteen... Miami Dolphins vs. San Francisco 49ers... ''{sarcastically}'' Great.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We're saved!

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the worst deserted island ever.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down}''

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says "Yami Yugi" easily when he reads the email, but seems to have trouble the second time. Or maybe he just doesn't like Yu-Gi-Oh. ''(See Real-World References)''
*Amazingly, Strong Bad misses the obvious opportunity to make fun of Yami Yugi's spelling.

===Goofs===
*Homestar's Main Page joke refers to [[Main Page 3]] ''(see Inside References)'', but on the real Main Page 3, the plane actually flies past on "Store," not "E-mail."
*The San Francisco 49ers' helmet facemask is incorrect. They wore a gray facemask in 1984.

===Inside References===
*Homestar references Main Page 3 when he yells out "Toons," "Games," and "E-mail" and various things appear. ''(see Goofs for more)''
*Strong Bad says, "This is the worst deserted island ever," which is a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], where he says, "This is the worst Decemberween ever."

===Real-World References===
*The 49ers beat the Dolphins 38–16 in Super Bowl XIX.
*The name of the person who wrote the email, Yami Yugi, is also the name of a character from the popular anime series ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''

===Fast Forward===
*[[japanese cartoon|Five emails hence]], Strong Bad will create a Japanese cartoon character named [[Stinkoman]].
*Strong Bad salting his foot is used again in [[interview]].
*Strong Bad later dresses as a hot dog in [[part-time job]].

== DVD Version ==
*To make Homestar and Strong Bad transform into various things, select the hidden Strong Bad head to the left of Strong Bad.
*The DVD Version adds a hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection when watching this email.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Welcome back, I'm Matt Chapman.

'''MIKE:''' I'm my brother Mike.

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Isn't, uh, sorry.

'''MATT:''' Yeah? Go ahead.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I don't remember what I was going to say. I like this email, though. I like the, um, visuals.

'''MATT:''' This is a lot, this is pretty much referencing, I mean it's done a lot in cartoons, but there's that one Bugs Bunny where he's on the desert island with those two—there's that one tall skinny guy and one fat short guy. That's where a lot of this comes from. I think they see each other as a steak and a hot dog. And I think that Bugs tricks one of them into eating his own foot at some point probably.

'''MIKE:''' This is the origin of the term Stinkoman too.

'''MATT:''' It's true. We were just screwin' around and I said the word Stinkoman.

'''MIKE:''' I think so. But I like that scene right there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike keeps talking about wanting to revisit this little desert island scene.

'''MIKE:''' It might be revisited by the time you're listening to this commentary.

'''MATT:''' Not if I have anything to say about it.

'''MIKE:''' Matt hates me.

'''MATT:''' I'm just kidding. Look, there it was! Yeah, see?

'''MIKE:''' He did, yeah. You haven't got a baboon in your pocket, have ye?

'''MATT:''' There you go, Mike.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, thanks. I love this. Those's actually are incorrect, aren't they? That's not exactly what he does on that menu page.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, maybe, yeah, maybe not. Look at those clouds. They're a little different than usual, aren't they?

'''MATT:''' Maybe. Oh, that's nice, that's—I remember Scott Edwards was over for that one. I think it snowed.

'''MIKE:''' Dave Brown, eh—

'''MATT:''' And then it snowed and we didn't have to go to school the next day.

'''MIKE:''' I think you're right.

'''MATT:''' No, it was great.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The Bugs Bunny cartoon in particular that Matt and Mike refer to is ''[[imdb:tt0036508|Wackiki Wabbit]]''.
*This island hasn't been reused yet, but judging by some of the foreshadowing on other commentaries, it probably will be.
i hate joey day he thinks he is king
