STRONG BAD: Oh-you-thought-there-was-no-more-emails-but-guess-what-there's-an-EMAIL!
{reading email}
Dear Strong Bad, I want to start a new website but I don't have any ideas of what to do for my website. I was wondering if you could give me some ideas for my new website. This website will be cool and I'll e-mail you when I'm done. Sincerely Yours: James
{Strong Bad says "Website. I mean, James" instead of just "James"}
STRONG BAD: {typing} You know James, I've been around this great, big internet a few times, so I know what I'm talking about, and I can safely say, that whatever idea you have is completely unimportant as long as you adhere to these fundamentals: {clears screen} First of all, you want to start out with a long flash intro. {stops typing} Like this one The Cheat made for me.
{"The Cheat presents" on a black background appears on the screen, followed by two green bean-shaped eyes.}
STRONG BAD: Check it out, those are supposed to be my eyes, I think.
{The eyes fade and the letters "SB" appear. "Strong" and "Bad" are inside each letter}
STRONG BAD: that stands for my name.
{The "S" and "B" turn into "The Web" in cursive}
STRONG BAD: The web.
{"The Web" turns into "Welcomes 'u' '2'" with only letters going horizontally and vertically. The words "strong bad's cybersite" appear in red below "Welcomes 'u' '2'". A rainbow circle about 3/4 the size of the "2" comes and rolls in, stopping at the quotation mark before the "2"}
STRONG BAD: That little rainbow thing's kinda cool.
{The word "cybersite" turns into rainbow colors. The words exit and a blackhole-kinda thing appears.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, go through the tunnel, oh look out!
{As he says "Oh, look out!", a hand appears to punch you, and after it does, the word "OUCH!" appears above it. The words "Get on in!" appear in a long button.}
STRONG BAD: Oh, you got punched! Aw, man, right in the face. {typing} Okay, next on the checklist: LOTS of animated GIFS! {He pronounces it gifs instead of jifs} {stops typing} or... jifs... or however you say it. I don't know. I heard a couple of nerds arguing about it one time. But you want as many of those as possible. Especially the rotate-y kind. Those are awesome, man. Nobody gets tired of looking at those. {typing} So, then you can pretty much just pick whatever for your subject. It doesn't really matter as long as you got the rest of that stuff on there. {stops typing} I mean, {resumes typing} James, the internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens. You need to take advantage of that. {stops typing}I mean, you can make a webpage of your cat.
{A picture of a cat lying on a football with red eye thinking "It's 4th and 10. Now WHERE'S MY SUPPER?!?" appears}
STRONG BAD: or your The Cheat.
{A picture of the cheat sleeping on a couch on its back on a couch thinking "It's 4th and 10. I hate cats."}
STRONG BAD: And, {typing} Who knows? Maybe tomorrow you'll be really big in Pakistan. Or at least, with some guy named Stan. {Stops typing}Anyways, I gotta go work on my webpage.
{Strong Bad leaves. The Paper comes down}
Easter Eggs
- Click on "Get on in" to go to Strong Bad's website.
- On Strong Bad's website, click on the mouse with the e-mail to go to the Email Processing Room.
- If you click on a button thats says "ENTER," you will re-enter the same website. Because it uses frames so poorly, the website will reload inside one of its own frames.
- At the very bottom of Strong Bad's page there is an "F10" button, if you click it you get to Strong Sad Blog.
Fun Facts
- The pictures of The Cheat on Strong Bad's website are actual photos of The Brothers Chaps's house with The Cheat added in later. The couch in this image is the same couch that appears in the G4 interview accessible here. The brick wall in this image follows the same brick pattern seen in the The Cheatar short.
- Also, check out the contents of the fridge in this image. See if we can identify them all!
- Top shelf in the door (left to right): Mt. Olive pickles, three jars Smuckers jam, two unknown jars
- Bottom shelf in the door (left to right): three unknown containers, Hellmann's mayonnaise, three unknown containers, Heinz ketchup, two unknown containers
- Top shelf inside fridge: water filter pitcher, loaf of bread
- Bottom shelf inside fridge: hunk of foil that's been there since April
- Strewn about on the floor: milk, Kraft parmesan cheese, unknown item
- To the left of the fridge: Some Cold Ones
- On Strong Bad's site you will always be the 16th biggest moron ever.
- The picture on the site titled "long haired freaky cheat" will never load. The reason the picture never loads is because the image is directed to the file " oh, just nothing" in the source.
- The rotating GIF about halfway down the page, the one that Strong Bad put two of, reads: "World Wide Wed."
- Strong Bad's website is a parody of every overly ambitious, poorly executed, cluttered, pointless website that was ever made on the free webservers like Tripod and Geocities. In the late nineties websites abounded that were every bit as crappy as his.
- At the bottom of the page, if you click on F10, it takes you to Strong Sad's Journal.
- According to flashback, this is where Strong Bad lost count of the emails.
- "Welcome to your doom!" on Strong Bad's site is from an old video game called Altered Beast.
- The "get on in" flash link during the email itself is clickable, but doesn't do anything.
- The cat featured in the email is Mabel, a cat owned by Matt Chapman and his girlfriend Jackie (according to the Wonkavision interview/article)
DVD Version
- Strong Bad's website isn't browsable on the DVD. However, the intro to his website is still accessible (via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower right corner of the Compy 386 screen).
- Note that the DVD version of the intro is out of sync - Strong Bad begins talking long before the animation ends.
