STRONG BAD: I remember the time when I checked my email.
Dear Strong Bad,
Every time I watch a cartoon with you in it,
I can't help but realize how incredibly gorgeous
you are. I love the way you walk around without
your shirt on so confidently. Anyways, I
was wondering if you would like to go
out sometime. Give me a call, Pom-
Pom has my number.
Hopefully yours,
Brian
STRONG BAD: {clears screen} Oh, {typing, speaking suavely} well, Brian, maybe you and I could— {stops typing} uh— {becomes shocked and angry} hey... BRIAN!? What the crap? {typing} Look, man. Unless Brian is short for... Brianrietta or Brian-Sue or something like that it's just not gonna work out between you and me, okay? {indents} Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams, - Strong Bad {stops typing} Okay, so until next week... 1, 2, 3, email me! 1, 2, 4, email me more!
{The Paper comes down.}
Fun Facts
Trivia
- The Brothers Chaps did several important things for the first time with this email:
- The email uses a new typing sound effect—without the buzz.
- Strong Bad begins using his current voice (he no longer has that weird accent).
- This is the first email using the current style of animation, where Strong Bad's head, rather than his mouth, moves. This was done to shorten the amount of time it took to animate, though the Chaps noted it now "takes way longer than it ever took to just make his mouth move."
- Note the highlights on Strong Bad's eyes.
- This is one of the only emails to use differing margins.
- This is one of the very few emails where Strong Bad actually signs his name at the end.
