STRONG BAD: {sticks hands and head through door} Hey, stupid! Do you know some guy named Anthony from South Gate?

{He picks up the card. Its front is white and has "TO: ANTHONY" written on it with a picture of Strong Sad.}

STRONG SAD: —and gonna send him a hundred dolla—

STRONG BAD: Yeah, well he says you're dumb and a crappy guy. {leaves}

"What guy?" "ME!" "Everybody email that guy!"

{The Paper comes down.}

Easter Eggs

  • For a while, emailing depressio@homestarrunner.com would result in this response:
Hello there,
I hope your email wasn't full of awful, hurtful remarks like all the rest but I'll never know. I
stopped reading emails a long time ago and wish my brother would stop giving out my address. Before you
start making fun of me again, I'd like to share something with you.

http://www.homestarrunner.com/wonderyears.html

I hope this puts us on the same page of this dusty, many volumed set of
ever-changing encyclopedias we call Life.

-Strong Sad

Then it changed to:

Strong Sad is no longer accepting emails because you people kept signing me up for "natural male enhancers." That, and the death threats weren't very cool either.

Leemee 'lone!

This email account is now deleted so emailing will only get a response from a Mailer-Daemon.

The only place where the Secrets That I Keep link can be found on the official site is Strong Sad's Lament.

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)

MIKE: Back in the days when you could see his mouth in the reflection.

MATT: Yeah, what a dumb idea that was. Though I don't know, sometimes I think doing his mouth was less work—

MIKE: Well, if you don't move his head.

MATT: Don't move his head, yeah.

MIKE: Yeah. Well, when we used to barely move his head, it was fine, but now his head's constantly waggin' around.

MATT: That's my fault. So...

{laughter}

MATT: Look at his head! Strong Bad's head, man—

MIKE: Everyone's looking a little rough right here!

{laughter}

MATT: I don't know... Strong Sad's...

{laughter}

MIKE: That's a good sound effect.

MATT: Um... So what else? Depressio!

MIKE: There was the Some Kind of Wonderful— oh yes, Depressio. It used to be, if you emailed that email, it sent you a return email with the first Easter egg.

MATT: Hurry up and finish!

MIKE: {quickly} That was the first Easter egg ever!

MATT: {quickly speaking gibberish}
