YOU ARE AWESOME. I LIKE YOU MOST WHEN YOU HARM YOUR FRIENDS.

ANDREW

STRONG BAD: {types} Andrew, This is the best E-mail I've ever received. Let's get to work! {gets up}

{cuts to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is standing and watching TV. Strong Bad walks up to him.}

STRONG BAD: Hows about this!

{Quickly kicks Strong Mad in the shin and walks off. Strong Mad looks back at him in anger.}

{Cuts to garage. Bubs is there.}

BUBS: What the?

{Strong Bad hits him over the head with a Golden Record.}

{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed. Strong Bad whacks him continuously with a whiffle bat.}

STRONG SAD: OW! {whack} OW! {whack} OW! {whack} OW! {whack} OW! {whack}

{Cut to field-Marzipan is there. Strong Bad has a whole pile of circular saw blades in a pile behind him and a bottle of sauce.}

STRONG BAD: Close your eyes and hold out your hands.

MARZIPAN: I don't want to!

{Cut to another part of the field. Homestar Runner is there with Strong Bad, with a huge tub of lava. It says "HOT LAVA" on the side.}

STRONG BAD: Put your head in here.

HOMESTAR RUNNER: You got it!

{Cut to another part of the field, Strong Bad has taped The Cheat to Pom Pom. They both complain as Pom Pom tries to shake him off.}

{Cut to Strongbadia. Homsar is buried in the ground and Strong Bad has put down a box that say "We Are the Scorpions!" The scorpions crawl around on Homsar. One goes into his mouth.

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!

{Cut to Locker. Strong Bad has given a bag of hot fries to Coach Z}

COACH Z: Hey, Thanks for the Chippies Strong Bad!

{Cut to Field again. The King of Town is there. Strong Bad whacks him with the Golden Record.}

{Cut to Compy}

STRONG BAD: Ahhh, just givin' the fans what they want! {types} You may have noticed I didn't do anything to the Poopsmith. I figure the guy shovels crap for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof. I was thinking about giving him a bath or something but, just the thought of that gave me the jibblies. {stops typing} Here they come again. The jibblie jibbles....

{The paper comes out and it says "Click here to e-mail strong bad - strongbad@homestarrunner.com", click on the text to email him.}

Easter Eggs

• At the end, click on Poopsmith for a The Poopsmith trading card.

Fun Facts

• The record that Strong Bad breaks on people's heads reads "Everybody to the Limit". It is gold, which means it sold over 500,000 copies.
• When Strong Bad kicks Strong Mad the TV narrator says: "Some kind of TV show!".
• In the Marzipan scene the hot sauce bottle on top of the circular saw blades reads "Sauce".
• In the Homsar scene Strong bad is holding the same hot sauce bottle that was behind him with Marzipan.
• Strong Mad's only weakness appears to be his knees.
  • Strong Bad also shows this earlier on in little animal.
• Strong Bad gives Coach Z Andy Capp's Hot Fries.
  • Coach Z's weakness appears to be Hot Fries, but this email doesn't tell us why that is.
• The file name for the .swf for this Strong Bad Email has an "x" after the number. The .swf without the "x" is still viewable, but with a few minor differences. The music stops early, and some things are missing from some scenes that are in the version with the "x".
• Strong Bad claims this is the greatest e-mail he ever received but he never mentioned it in personal favorites.
• Strong Bad uses the word "jibblies" again to mean apprehension in date.
• This is the first e-mail to feature all twelve main characters (if you count the Poopsmith's playing card). The only other e-mail to date to do that is different town.

DVD Version

• The trading card Easter Egg can still be viewed using the angle button on your DVD remote.
• The DVD version adds a hidden creator's commentary. To access it, change your DVD player's audio language selection while watching this email.

Commentary Transcript

MIKE: {attempting to sing like Strong Bad} Emaail- {stops} sing it, Matt. {tries again} eeee-

MATT: No, Mike, I'm not going to do that again.

MIKE: Hey Matt, do Strong Bad's voice.

MATT: No.

MIKE: Do it. {Powered by The Cheat Strong Bad} Hey.

MATT: That was a good one.

MIKE: Thanks.

MATT: This was one, I think, Mike did almost entirely on his own. I had to go out of town again.

MIKE: Yeah.

MATT: Um... we didn't do some commentary on the ones where YOU went out of town, so it doesn't sound- I like that. "Some type of TV show."

MIKE: That's a wiffle ball bat. Some people think it's like a broomstick.

MATT: Was that The Promise Ring in the background, too?

MIKE: I think so, yeah.

MATT: A Promise Ring poster. Uh-oh.

MIKE: Pom-Pom has a Cheat taped to him.

{unintellible by both}

MATT: We are the Scorpions! Everybody, uh, wonders a lot why the Hot Fries are bad, like, and they think that sizzle- that's a sizzling noise when it's really just the shower.

MIKE: You know they've got Andy frie- uh, Andy Capp Steak Fries

MATT: Yeah, I've seen those.

MIKE: I saw those. I wanted to get them, but I was five cents short.

MATT: But, uh, I actually kind of like Andy Capp's Hot Fries-

MIKE: I do too

MATT: -so I don't know why we used them as a punishment

Fun Facts
