</table></div> Strong Bad checks his email. 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. A typical Strong Bad Email will include numerous Easter eggs and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails are satires of specific cultural references, such as action figure, japanese cartoon, and isp.

Since January 30, 2006, Strong Bad emails have been released sometimes under a weekly feature called Podstar Runner. It features popular Toons, Teen Girl Squads, and Strong Bad Emails in .m4v format. They are designed to be viewed on a Fifth Generation Apple iPod, but workable on a variety of other portable media players. Currently, it features these emails (in order of release):

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 179 emails as of isp.
- 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.

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, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the screen as the email progesses. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
