Telebision is Strong Bad's old console TV. This is the television seen from the front in Strong Bad's Basement. In stand-up, it was also shown in Strong Sad's room. It gets its name from the page title of the Telebision Toons Menu, which reads "telebision at its best!". In this old toons menu, it appears to have at least 6 channels.

The Telebision has a Remote Control that Strong Bad has used on several occasions. However, the Telebision uses a dial to operate, so instead of changing the channel, it has served as a projectile to be thrown at another character's face. In Bug In Mouth Disease, Strong Bad uses the remote control to hit Homestar, thus allowing the bug that was trapped in his throat to escape. In the email best thing, it is thrown in Strong Sad's face, much to his surprise. After earning his sixth point on his Strong Bad rewards card in privileges, The Cheat gained access to the mute button on the remote. A similar remote is used for controlling Homestar's TeeBee on the TV Time Toons Menu.

The name "telebision" may be a reference to the comic strip Dennis the Menace, created by Hank Ketcham in 1950, as Dennis often mispronounces "television" in this way.
