*"It happened to my friend's roommate" in the Spamvertisement probably refers to {{wp|chain letter}}s, which usually involve mentioning some type of miracle happening, saying that "it happened to ''this person''," and telling the recipient to send the email to a number of people in order for it to happen to them.

-
*This is the first time Strong Bad, or any other character, uses the abbreviation "sbemail".
+
*Since Strong Bad clearly reads his emails on-screen using "strongbad_email.exe," it's curious as to why he would print out the bad ones before giving the pages to Strong Mad for his origami.

*Illinois was originally founded by the French, so Strong Bad's pronunciation is legitimate.
+
*When The Cheat is filing the emails into short, medium, and tall stacks, the paper is regular copy paper. Apparently, these emails were not printed using Strong Bad's dot matrix printer of [[The Paper]] fame.
