STRONG BAD: {singing} Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email. {stops singing}
Dear Mr Bad,
How do you know if someone's butt is stupid?
I mean, is there like some kind of IQ test?
Crapfully yours,
Tyler
STRONG BAD: Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the {typing} "Transitive Butt Property". {stops typing} And it clearly states that the "stupidity" of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the "stupidity" of that person's head. {types "stupid (butt) ≥ stupid (head)"} So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance; {A very bad graphic of Homestar Runner appears on the screen.} Look at his stupid head. {his head is labelled "stupid (head)"} Look at how stupid his head is. Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that easily his butt is going to be at least as stupid if not stupider. {his butt is labelled "stupid/stupider (butt)"} So there you have it.
Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.
{The Paper comes down, reading "Click here to email Strong Bad"}
Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first email ending with "Crapfully yours".
- The paper at the end is shorter than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of Homestar).
Remarks
- The real-world transitive property (of equality) is much harder to explain than the simple transitivity of identity postulate Strong Bad proposes here.
Inside References
- The email was inspired by the song "You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt" from Strong Bad Sings (which later made its way to the real Strong Bad Sings CD).
Fast Forward
- The punk rock band The Reunion Show named one of their songs for their 2002 debut album "Kill Your Television" from this e-mail. The name of the 9th song on the album is "On a Scale from One to Awesome (You're Pretty Great)".
