Revision as of 04:10, 4 February 2021
Nearly every computer that Strong Bad has owned has malfunctioned at some point, and they have done so in some famously tragic ways, most often with a Flagrant System Error or by exploding (the latter ending the computer's run to be replaced by a newer, better, but still obsolete version).
Contents |
System Errors
The System Error screen appears whenever Strong Bad's computer crashes. It is a direct reference to the blue screen of death that appears on Windows computers.
Flagrant System Error
FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR
The system is down. I dunno what

FRAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR
Your brand new computer is bloke.
Please prepare to wait on hold
with tech support for several hours.
The current tech support smugness
level is RED.
Strong Bad's Computers Exploding
Some of Strong Bad's computers are also known to explode, whether spontaneously or by outside forces. Probably the most famous of these explosions was the first explosion of the Tandy 400, which was later fixed (though it still had some malfunctions afterward).
Appearances
- Email gimmicks (Tandy; this is shown again in a flashback in personal favorites and hremail 3184)
- Email invisibility (Tandy, as shown in flashback in hremail 3184)
- Email virus (Compy; not in the original but shown in a flashback in hremail 3184, exploded when Bubs shot a hole in it)
- Biz Cas Fri 3 (Corpy NT6, puppet style)
- Email retirement (Tandy, purposely destroyed by Strong Bad and Homestar; Compy, while in Strong Mad's mouth)
- Email hremail 3184 (Lappy; purposely destroyed by Strong Bad through use of a self-destruct button)
Miscellaneous Malfunctions
Strong Bad's computers often have various malfunctions, sometimes involving explosions or viruses.
Appearances
- Email sisters — The Tandy spontaneously deletes Strong Bad's email, then saves another email when Strong Bad tries to delete it.
- Email virus — The Compy refuses to delete the virus email, reports more than 400,000 viruses, then blue-screens before the contents of the screen pour onto the carpet.
The Paper
Following 172 emails of service, The Paper and its printer fell from an unknown location above Strong Bad, breaking it as predicted in the email montage. After a few moments of reminiscing, Strong Bad burned the paper, in accordance with its last wishes. It was almost immediately replaced by an inkjet printer and the New Paper. The Paper came back in email thunder to beat up the New Paper, but since it got burned, its current fate is unknown. In hremail 3184, the Lappy's explosion destroyed one of the Papers, but it's unknown for sure which one.
Appearances
- Email the paper
- Email hremail 3184
