Disc Contents
- Disc 1 contains Strong Bad Emails 1-50 (some kinda robot through 50 emails), three new, never-before-seen emails (Greeting Cards, E-mail Birds and Videro Games), the first seventeen Scroll Button Songs, the first 100 Email Intros, and the unfinished Toon, Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True.
- Disc 2 contains Strong Bad Emails 51-80 (website through stunt double), four karaoke music videos, and a video of Gary playing The Cheatar.
- Disc 3 contains Strong Bad Emails 81-100 (date through flashback), Some Puppet Stuff, and various behind-the-scenes footage, with Sample of Style, Making of Email 100, Sketchbook, 3D Menu Screen Tests, Day at the Park, and Some Extras.
- Disc 4 contains Strong Bad Emails 101-130 (car through do over), one previously unreleased email (Family Resemblence), two karaoke videos, some puppet stuff, with Real-Live E-Mails, Puppets on the Road, Puppets & Little Girl Outtakes, as well as Sample of Style Too and Sample of Style Too: Some Outtakes. It is sold separately from the first three discs.
- Disc 5 contains Strong Bad Emails 131-160 (boring (really) through coloring), commentaries on every email, one previously unreleased email (Accent), the next 60 Email Intros (post-100), 160 Seconds, Sbemail 149.5, Lappynapped!, an alternate version of a scene from Space Program, and a video of Matt Chapman singing. It is sold separately from the first four discs.

Easter Eggs
- Most of the emails have three kinds of secrets:
- Audio commentary: Accessible by pressing the "Language" or "Audio" button. Not all emails have them.
- Secret "angle": Accessible by pressing the "Angle" button. Usually used to display the short pop-ups that can appear when you click on different things during the emails.
- Secret menu options: Once the email is over, you can press down from "Next" to find a hidden menu option—a little icon that looks like Strong Bad's head. (You typically have to press down several times to find the hidden icon.) Sometimes there are secret options hidden under "Again," "Main," or "Next," and sometimes you have to browse around (left/right) from other hidden options to find them all. All Easter eggs are listed in the "DVD Version" sections of the Strong Bad Email articles.
- Each menu has a secret Easter egg viewable after a short period of time.
Fun Facts
Explanations
- .exe is a file extension meaning "executable." An executable file contains code for a program and "executes" in an operating system. .exe files are used in DOS (e.g., "Peasants_Quest.exe" ran the Peasant's Quest program) and Microsoft Windows, but not on a Macintosh computer (which The Cheat uses). Specifically, "strongbad_email.exe" is what Strong Bad types on his computer to begin nearly every email, except for secret identity and those on the Tandy 400.
Trivia
- This is The Brothers Chaps's 3D CGI debut.
- When the DVD set was first released, it was in such high demand that the online store quickly ran out.
Real-World References
- The art for the five DVD covers (Strong Bad, Stinkoman, Senor Cardgage, Dangeresque, Space Captainface, and his other doppelgängers) is reminiscent of the art on the Star Wars Trilogy on VHS. That set also featured a different half-face on each cover: Darth Vader, Yoda, and a Stormtrooper.
