''{reading}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">dear mr bad<br />

geroge</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "geroge" literally, as in "gee-roje" with a hard G}''
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no way, Geroge ''{same as before}''. We tried that once. Trust me, man. Bad idea.

''{The scene changes and we see Strong Bad standing in The Field. He hears a bird singing and he looks up and around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Umm... So this is another part where it's just me. And I'm kinda standing around. You know, just standing. I guess I don't do very much. ''{Strong Bad scratches his head}'' No wait, I just scratched my head. Yeah, I remember that part. I totally had to scratch my head then, man. I can't remember exactly what I was looking at there. Er, I think it was like a bird, or maybe a cloud that looked like a bird. You know, like a bird cloud.

''{The scene changes back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I dunno. That wasn't so bad actually. You know it's ''{types "its"}'' like, All Strong Bad, All the Time! But you know what they say, "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad." ''{stops typing}'' All right, so until next time send me a little email and I'll give you a little crap. 

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, this is where I just finished checking my email and I'm just kinda sitting there. You know, I... I think I was probably staring at my computer screen. You know, watching those green lines go by. Being like "Whoa, check out these green lines!" You know, they just keep going. ''{His eyes turn to green hypnotic circles and his head sways a little.}'' Those things could hypnotize you, man. If you watch them long enough. ''{His head drops to the keyboard.}'' Oh, see! There I go.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first email where The Paper reads "Click here to e-mail strong bad strongbad@homestarrunner.com" instead of just "Click here to e-mail strong bad."
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad does commentary on a cartoon of himself just standing around."

===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad's head hits the keyboard, nothing changes on screen.
*It's strange that Strong Bad says he shouldn't have his own cartoon, since the majority of the previous emails have had only him as a character.
*Despite the fact that Strong Bad is talking in his cartoon, his mouth does not move at all.  This may be referring to the voice-over Geroge mentioned in his e-mail.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad did not put an apostrophe in the "it's" in the "You know its like, All Strong Bad, All the Time" part of his reply.
*The Paper appears over the black border of the cartoon.
*When Strong Bad becomes hypnotized, his head begins to move before his reflection.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives another email signed with the word [[Crapfully Yours|crap]].

===Fast Forward===
*A 3D CGI version of the cartoon becomes a scene in [[Strong Bad Gameways]].
*Strong Bad gets hypnotized again in [[what i want]].
*Strong Bad has since done such narration in the commentary for various cartoons on the DVDs.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version adds a hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
