{He goes to Strong Sad's room.}
STRONG BAD: Hey, stupid! You know some guy named Anthony from South Gate?
STRONG SAD: Oh yeah. I was just making him this card and gonna send him a hundred dollars...
STRONG BAD: Yeah, well he says you're dumb and a crappy guy.
STRONG SAD: Ohhhhhhhhh.
{Strong Sad tears the paper into half and Strong Bad sits back in front of his computer.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Look Anthony, as much as I like insulting my stupid kid brother, I'm not your freaking message service, alright? Next time, you email him yourself. His email address is: depressio@homestarrunner.com {stops typing} Okay, so until next time, {singing} everybody email that guy, what guy? ME! Everybody email that guy! {stops singing}
{The Paper falls, reading "Click here to e-mail strong bad".}
Easter Eggs
- For a while, emailing depressio@homestarrunner.com would result in a response directing you to Strong Sad's shoebox. This was considered the Chapmans' first easter egg in an email. This page is now available via Strong Sad's Lament.
Fun Facts
- Strong Sad's Room is decorated with posters fitting the downer or Gothic nature of Strong Sad's character.
Trivia
- This is the first time that Strong Bad attempts to pronounce a state's abbreviation.
- This is the first time Strong Sad is referred to as Strong Bad's little brother. (For the record, Strong Mad is the eldest sibling, Strong Bad is the middle one, and Strong Sad is the youngest)
Goofs
- Although Strong Bad has a reflection on his blue medallion whilst sitting at his computer, he has no reflection in it when insulting Strong Sad.
Real-World References
- The design of the paste container is similar to that for Elmer's glue.
DVD Version
- If you click on the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Tandy 400's screen at the end of the email, it takes you to Strong Sad's shoebox full of childhood memories.
- This time, instead of being able to select which items you want to look at, it goes through each in turn. In addition, the card Strong Bad gave Strong Sad is read out loud by a young Strong Bad.
- The DVD version also has a hidden creator's commentary. Just switch over your DVD player's audio language when watching this email.

(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)
MIKE: Back in the days when you could see his mouth in the reflection.
MATT: Yeah, what a dumb idea that was. Though I don't know, sometimes I think doing his mouth was less work-
MIKE: Well, if you don't move his head
MATT: Don't move his head, yeah.
MIKE: Yeah. Well, when we used to barely move his head, it was fine, but now his head's constantly waggin' around.
MATT: That's my fault. So, there's some
{laughter}
MATT: Look at his head! Strong Bad's head, man-
MIKE: Everyone's looking a little rough right here!
{laughter}
MATT: I don't know... Strong Sad's..
{laughter}
MIKE: That's a good sound effect.
MATT: Um... so what else? Depressio!
MIKE: There was the Some Kind of Wonderful- oh yes, Depressio. It used to be, if you emailed that email, it sent you a return email with the first Easter Egg.
MATT: Hurry up and finish!
MIKE: {quickly} That was the first Easter Egg ever! {quickly said gibberish}
