Strong Bad Losing His Edge

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Though Strong Bad claims to be a pretty cool guy, there have been many occasions where he has revealed himself to not be quite as cool as he claims.

[edit] Appearances

• Email autobiography — Strong Bad's "greatest moment on the court" is when Reg passed the ball to The Deke instead of him and The Deke slammed dunked it, and when he tried to high-five everyone The Deke shoved him into the ground. Also, Strong Bad tells a blatantly false story about a girl with "skinny blond hair" who "loved him so much" but "had to go to another planet for reasons too complex to elaborate on."
• Email labor day — Ironically, Strong Bad tells Pom Pom he needs to get a life, while asserting he "has a great life". Pom Pom, like everyone else, is attending the BBQ, and even Strong Sad makes fun of Strong Bad for not coming.

• Email geddup noise — Strong Bad describes how "a bunch of cheap knockoffs" of the Geddup Noise started popping up, and is then shown having presented his own version, the "Git Outcha Seat Sound". He quickly tries to laugh it off and claim it was "just not anything".
• Email lady fan — Strong Bad can't do a single push up.
• Email senior prom — Strong Bad invents a story about a girl named "Delilelia" who can't go to the prom with him because she's helping a robot stuck in the sand on Mars. When he crashes the prom with a plan to make everyone's pants poof away, he loses his after forgetting that he's the only person who wears pants. He also accidentally wins Prom Queen.

• Email winter pool — Strong Bad admits that him doing 30 different kinds of skateboard shred on the pool during the winter is "pretend".
• Email your edge — Gee Tee worries that Strong Bad might be losing his edge. Strong Bad accidentally justifies this concern by recounting the times The Cheat and he consciously decided not to re-inflate a deflated basketball, feathered Strong Sad, and spread mayonnaise on some cardboard boxes before cleaning the mess up, vacuuming and using air-freshener thirty minutes later. It is also revealed that the pair play "pretend-we're-grandmas-baking time". In an attempt to regain their edge, Strong Bad stomps on a casserole and The Cheat saws a hole in the floor, which the two fall into. They remain in the hole for at least three hours.
• Strong Badia the Free — Strong Bad receives a package with pilot wings from Trans-Place Airways, which he initially explains as his reward for not crying through the flight, before correcting himself by claiming that it's actually for landing the plane, saving everyone on board, and making out with all the stewardesses after the pilot suffered from a Charley horse that Strong Bad gave him.
• Baddest of the Bands — Strong Bad goes out of his way to reveal a stage prop that he is convinced will win the crowd over; instead, the crowd carries off the King of Town of all people, as no one cared about his prop and, in the act of revealing it, Strong Bad inadvertently makes the King look cool.
