STRONG BAD: I am going to check my email.
Dear Strongbad, I want to have the bestest halloween costume ever this year. How can I make a strongbad costume? With crap, Ben from Ohio University
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well Ben, I couldn't agree with you more. You dress up like me this year and the ladies will flock to you like the Poopsmith to an overflowing toilet. {stops typing} But I digress. Onto the costume...
{And the scene of the bushes appears at the screen.}
STRONG BAD: {background voice} We'll demonstrate on stupid over here.
{Homestar appears outside}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hello!
STRONG BAD: {background voice} First paint your head red, {Homestar's head turns red} Then take your shirt off to expose your manly chest. {Homestar's shirt disappears and a digital blur appears over his body}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh!
STRONG BAD: Next, get some boxing gloves, {Giant boxing gloves appear on Homestar's feet.} or if you don't have boxing gloves, oven mitts will do. {A huge pink oven mitt appears on Homestar's head.} Next, duct tape some aluminum foil to some twine. {Duct tape is wrapped around Homestar's legs, with two loose ends attached to a roll of tin foil and a ball of twine.} And finally, get your mom to make you a Strong Bad costume. You'll be the belle of the ball.
HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm a bell!
{Strong Bad sits back in front of his computer.}
STRONG BAD: Okay, so until next time, who put the ween in Halloween? I don't know. Probably you, you freakin' weirdo!
{The Paper falls, reading "Click here to e-mail strong bad".}
Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is another of the very few emails that had the "Old Emails" button on the monitor. It's since been removed by TBC and made to fit with the rest of the SB Emails
- This is the last e-mail where Strong Bad's head is at the right side of the screen, and a bit higher. This is also the last e-mail where his head doesn't move while talking/typing.
- Clicking "Back" used to take you to the Games menu instead of the SB Email menu if you clicked on it. This has now been fixed.
- Although if you click on it while it is fading in, it still takes you there.
- This is the first email in which Homestar makes a personal appearance.
- This is the first email to be over one minute long.
Goofs
- The text Strong Bad types at the beginning is no longer there when he sits back down.
Inside References
- The oven mitt that Homestar is given is the same one Strong Bad was wearing in In Search Of The Yello Dello.
DVD Version
- The DVD Version has a hidden creator commentary. Just switch over your DVD player's language while watching this email.
