STRONG BAD: The views expressed in the following email show do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anybody cool. Oh, except me. {lowers voice} I'm cool.
{reading}
Dear Strong Bad, Do you Have a car If you do what Kind of car is it. Is it Pimped OUt? From Kyle in West Point, NY (Military Base)
{Strong Bad reads the email exactly as it's typed, punctuation errors and all, except for the word "Pimped", which he pronounces "Pimp-id"}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Oh, good one Kyle. Like I don't get two jillion of these emails every two jillion seconds. Er. Wait. Would that be so bad? Hmmm. I'll have to ask Strong Sad {Typed as Gron Sad} about that later on. Maybe write in to 'Popular Science' about it. "Popular Science." No such thing, man. More like, "Nerdular Nerdence." {clears screen, continues typing} Anydangway, to properly make an example out of both you, and your email's butts, I'm going to whip out an old classic move of mine, and hit you with a little uhhhh digga digga digga digga digga digga DEL
{Cut to a wider view of Strong Bad's desk, where Homestar is off to the right.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Interrupting Strong Bad} Hup-chup-chup-chup. {Cut to a close-up of Homestar} Allow me to save this email from a tired old Strong Bad joke by showing all y'alls my new tricked out propeller cap.
{Cut back to zoomed view of Strong Bad and Homestar}
STRONG BAD: {Shaking fist} What are you doing?
HOMESTAR: Ummm... Did you just say "doing?" {rhymed with "boing"}
STRONG BAD: What? No. Doo-ing. I said, "What are you doo-ing?".
HOMESTAR: Oh. Well you spelled it the same.
{Strong Bad makes a noise of frustration}
HOMESTAR: Anyways, on to my cool words that I had to say. First, check out all my hydraulics. {Homestar pulls out a remote control with three switches on it. He flips the first two. His cap moves up and down on his head, making mechanical car hydraulic noises. He then continues to mix and match the usage of the switches to adjust the pitch, yaw, and angle of his cap in regards to his head. While this is going on, he continues to talk, commenting on the particular movements.} And a little... {His cap goes up, forward, back, forward, back, forward, back, and then down onto his head again.} And everybody loves... {His cap slides up, and then forward on his head.} Now turn the lights down low. {The lights dim, and his cap glows pink from underneath.} Sweetish ground effects. {The room lights brighten and the "effects" turn off} And the coup {said as "koop"} de grace, {He bends down putting his cap within the reach of Strong Bad} Spin my buzzer.
STRONG BAD: Your what?
HOMESTAR: My buzzer. Give it a spin.
STRONG BAD: Oh, why am I doing this?
HOMESTAR: Oh! you said "doing" {pronounces it as spelt} again.
{Strong Bad makes some frustrated noises. He then spins the propeller on Homestar's cap. It gives a propeller like sound.}
HOMESTAR: {Singing as the spin continues} Dooooo, doo doo doo dooooooooo. Dooo doot doot doot doot! Doo da doo da doo! Doo doot!
STRONG BAD: Now you're singing the theme from "Night Court"?
HOMESTAR: No, not singing. When you spin my buzzer, it plays the theme from "Night Court" starring Richard Moll. And it's custom-installed.
{Strong Bad begins writing something unseen on his boxing glove with a permanent marker while muttering. The words "custom installed" are the only audible words he mutters}
HOMESTAR: Now what are you doing? {still like boing}
STRONG BAD: Oh, I'm just tricking out my fist here.
HOMESTAR: Oh cool. What's it going to say? 2-E-Z? {2-E-Z flashes on the screen} Or like, NEVA-DIE? {NEVA-DIE flashes on the screen}
STRONG BAD: No, it says this. {Shows Homestar. Written on his boxing glove is a mirrored "DELETED" in Gothic text.}
HOMESTAR: Strong Bad, they spelled that backwards. You need to take that thing back right--
{Strong Bad dives forward and punches Homestar. The screen goes white for a moment. Fade back to Homestar leaning up against a crack in the wall from the impact with his head. He's lost his cap, his eyes are X's, Strong Bad's fist has left the Gothic "DELETED" imprinted on his forehead. Yellow stars float around his head.}
HOMESTAR: Ooohh oooh. Thank you once again for my pies. I spent particular effort on the crème bernard.
{Cut to Strong Bad back at the Compy.}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Well, that straightens everything out, right? As for you, Kyle, I don't have a car. You ever see me in a car? No! Bye. {Strong Bad stops typing and runs off to the right. After a moment, he pokes his head back on the screen.} Talk to my man with the green and white stripes!
{The Paper comes down.}

Transcript
- {Cut to STRONG SAD'S ROOM. STRONG SAD is reading a copy of Nerdular Nerdence. Enter STRONG BAD.}
STRONG BAD: Hey! Gron Sad!
STRONG SAD: {looks up} Why do you keep calling me that?
STRONG BAD: I dunno... change of pace. Anyways, how many emails would it be if you got, like, two jillion emails every two jillion seconds? Like, a lot, or a little?
STRONG SAD: Jillion is not a real unit of measure!
STRONG BAD: Whatever, NERD! {leaves}
STRONG SAD: That's right! {holds up his hand} Say it again!
Fun Facts
Trivia
- In both this email and invisibility, Homestar was taken by surprise. Homestar can beat up Strong Bad easily, as shown in Marshmallow's Last Stand.
- The page in Nerdular Nerdence that Strong Sad is reading says "electrons, scalene triangles, least ...mon denominators." "Mon" probably indicates the end of "common."
- Strong Bad says he is riding in his "cool, cool car" in the opening of the no loafing e-mail showing that he might actually own a car.
Remarks
- If you get two jillion emails every two jillion seconds, then you get an average of one email per second, because any nonzero number divided by itself (even made-up numbers like a jillion) is one.
- Strong Sad states that a "jillion is not a real unit of measure". Strong Sad is right ... and he's wrong! Strong Bad uses "a jillion" as a number, not as a unit of measure.
- Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his left hand (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word DELETED would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
Glitches
- After the Nerdular Nerdence egg, you can hear the beginning of the Homestar egg just before the scene cuts back to the computer.
- (Nerdy)This is due to a problem in flash/actionscript integration, where the gotoAndPlay() command starts late.
- (Nerdier)Actually since it's cutting back to Strong Bad after the email is finished, it's actually gotoAndStop() that's being late here.
- (Nerdy)This is due to a problem in flash/actionscript integration, where the gotoAndPlay() command starts late.
Inside References
- "A-Digga-Digga-...DELETED!" is a reference to unused emails.
