Double Decades!!

Trogday is an annual commemoration of Trogdor's birthday, celebrating the anniversary of his debut in the Strong Bad Email dragon on January 13, 2003.

Appearances

2006

• The toon Happy Trogday commemorates the third birthday with a fanstuff montage, set to the expanded version of the song "Trogdor".
  • The toon also includes Stinkoman remarking that his birthday (the release of japanese cartoon) was a week prior. He is then confronted by Trogador, the 20X6 variation of Trogdor, for a "birthday challenge".
• A Store sale celebrates Trogdor's third birthday by discounting Trogdor merchandise.

2007

• The Store discounts Trogdor merchandise to celebrate Trogdor's fourth birthday.

2008

• Trogday 08 uses a bait-and-switch approach to instead feature a campy alphabet song about The S is for Sucks Dragon, as the two dragons share a birthday. When Strong Bad, in his typical sarcastic manner, claims this was due to internet users "ruining" Trogdor (along with zombies, pirates, ninjas, and himself), an angry Trogdor compels him to record an additional heavy metal song about The S is for Sucks Dragon.
• A special index page, featuring Trogdor in the shape of a numeral 5, was in place for his birthday week.
