Tape-leg

From Homestar Runner Wiki

This article is about the running gag. For the Strong Bad Email, see tape-leg.

Tape leg is a recurring inside joke that originated from the appropriately named email "tape-leg." A fan named Nicolas asked Strong Bad if his leg was made out of tape, and Strong Bad quickly dismissed the question. This email is generally considered to be one of the worst emails ever, but Strong Bad insists that "the tape leg is cool."
