STRONG BAD: Check one, check two. Sibilants. Sibilants. SBEmail.
subject: CandyDear Strongbad
I was wondering, if you are so famous, popular, and a
chick-magnet how come you dont have any candy product...
or food thing... to sell..............
From somone thats not homestarrunner
(While reading, Strong Bad says "Dear Strongbad I was wondering" as one clause, pronounces "dont" as it appears [not as the contraction "don't"], and inserts exaggerated pauses where the ellipses are in the e-mail.)
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well, of course you're not, Somone. Or else you would've fallen prey to Edgar's Baby's Daddy: my Homestar junkmail filter.
{clears screen}
STRONG BAD: {typing} So what I don't have a candy product. I betcha I will by the end of this email. I'm famous, popular, and chick-magnet enough to have a candy product. Why is it athletes are the only ones with their own candy bars? Shouldn't they have their own brand of, like, jock-strap or divorce lawyer, instead?
{clears screen}
STRONG BAD: {typing} For my candy bar, we’re gonna need a name that’s 50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!! How ‘bou… SBLOUNSKCHED! ‘Cuz that’s how you’re gonna feel when you eat one..like you got SBLOUNSKCHED! Now we gotta be sure and represent as many of the different states of candy matter as possible. {Cut to a Periodic Table with candy names}
STRONG BAD: We’ll start with a gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor, encased in a globule of semi-solid licorice colloid. A bunch of those will be floating in a channel of liquid nougat, which I recently found out is the candy equivalent of veal. And we roll all that up inside a solid crispidy cookidy log and cover it in rich, creamy... pepperoni. And sprinkle that with, not just crispy puffed rice, but whole tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice cereal. And finally, smother that with the ol’ BBC. Boring Brown Chocolate.
ENGLISH VOICE: I say...
STRONG BAD: Now that is a confectionate worthy of the SBLOUNCHED name. But I need to think of a better shape than the standard piece-of-crap shape. {Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper.} STRONG BAD: I’m talking to you, Baby Ruth. {Cut back to the Periodic Table. STRONG BAD: Lets see, Shape, shape, shape, shape, shape.. Chainsaw, Dollar sign, Thumbs up, Syringe, Campfire, Indiana, Moustache, Van Buren Statue STRONG BAD:Ooh, what about my pants? Everybody knows my pants! And they come with a built in bite out of them for security, ‘cuz who’s gonna steal a half eaten pair of choco-pants?

- There is no back button at the end of the e-mail.
Inside References
- "Re: re: re: resending" is a possible reference to bottom 10, where Strong Bad explains that he hates emails that have more than one Fwd:, or Re: in the subject line.
- This is another example of characters peeking from behind objects in the foreground.
- One of the rejected forms for the candy bar is the bust of Van Buren.
- At the beginning of the commercial, small print at the bottom reveals that it is a production of Cheap As Free Foodstuffs.
- Marshie's creepy voice in the Easter egg is similar to an Easter egg in Pumpkin Carve-nival.
Real-World References
- The "SBLOUNSKCHED!" commercial refers to ads for candies like Mentos where it is suggested that consumers of the product can do anything at all.
- Baby Ruth is a popular candy bar 2 oz. in size in a log-shaped form. Strong Bad's allusion to its scatological appearance is most likely a reference to a like-minded gag in the film Caddyshack.
- The Periodic Table of Candy Elements is a parody of the actual Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements.
