===Explanations===
+
''{If you click on "press conference", it will show a scene where Strong Bad is sitting next to The Cheat at the british press conference. A reporter asks Strong Bad about his comment.}''
-
*This is called "The Lost Email!" because after [[The Brothers Chaps]] made email 21, [[cartoon]], they went ahead and made email 23, [[little animal]], skipping over number 22. Between [[vacation]] (#40) and [[invisibility]] (#41), [[Anachronistic Toons|they made]] email 22.
+
-
**The skip makes this email the last of the Tandy era.
+
-
**The newspaper's date is 10 April, [[References to Years in Which Toons Were Released|2002]]. This date is between the release dates of cartoon and little animal.
+
-
**This email was originally listed on the sbemail menu between cartoon and little animal. However, as of the December 31, 2020 update, it is now listed between vacation and invisibility, reflecting when the email was originally released.
+
-
*"Some kinda unnecessary vowel at the end" refers to differences between {{w|American English}} and [[Commonwealth English|British English]], specifically British English's tendency to place an additional "E" at the end of certain words. Examples include words like programme and shoppe, and names such as Locke.
+
-
*"{{w|Bollocks}}" is a British slang term used to crudely express negativity; it would likely be considered [[swears|swearing]] in Britain. That said, Strong Bad misspells it as "bullocks", which would refer to young male bovine.
+
-
*The newspaper's headlines refer to aspects of {{w|Culture of the United Kingdom|British culture}} that are seen as humorously foreign by Americans.
+
-
**The sport of {{w|cricket}} was created in England and {{w|Cricket in the British Isles|is very popular across the British Isles}}. It is {{w|Cricket in the United States|much less popular in America}} (where most citizens may not even know how it is played) as [[baseball]] is the favored bat-and-ball game.
+
-
***The section listed for info on cricket is listed as "sport". This is because "sport" is both singular and plural in British English.
+
-
**Although the King of Town is known for his [[The King of Town's Food|proclivity for strange food items]], {{w|treacle}} is commonplace in {{w|British cuisine}}. It is a sugar-based syrup typically used as a sweetener.
+
-
**"Bobby" is a generalized nickname for a {{w|Law enforcement in the United Kingdom|British policeman}}, hence the joke about one ''actually'' being named Bobby.
+
-
===Trivia===
+
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad, how do you respond to claims that your comment brought the entire royal family to tears?
-
*This is the shortest Strong Bad email, with a time of 34 seconds. Thus the email's Easter egg is the second-most significant proportion of any email to date, after [[comic]].
+
-
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "The Cheat helps Strong Bad recover from a PR nightmare after he offends the UK."
+
-
===Remarks===
+
''{The Cheat whispers to Strong Bad the respond. Strong Bad clears his throat and speaks out to the microphone.}''
-
*This is an email in which [[The Paper]] does not come down in the main toon; here it comes down only at the end of the Easter egg. Another example of this would be the end of the email [[part-time job]].
+
-
*The black and white picture used when the "BANNED IN THE UK" banner comes up is a [[wikipedia: raster graphics|raster image]].
+
-
*Despite supposedly being a British publication, ''The Guardian'' uses American-style punctuation, as opposed to using [[Wikipedia:American and British English differences#Punctuation|the British style]].
+
-
[[Image:sbemail22glitch.png|thumb|right|The see-through hand]]
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' Screw all y'all!
-
===Goofs===
+
''{Gasps are heard from the crowd.}''
-
*When Strong Bad covers the microphone with his hand, there is a gap between his hand and the edge of the mic. Strong Bad's hand also covers the pole that the mic is set on, even though his glove should be behind it.
+
-
*The words "press conference" in the newspaper (which form the link to the Easter egg) don't match the stretch and skew of the rest of the words on the page.
+
-
===Glitches===
+
'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Cor blimey!
-
*If the contrast is changed all the way to green during the beginning, the "BANNED IN THE UK" banner changes it back to black just before the newspaper appears.
+
-
===Inside References===
+
''{A black-and-white photograph snaps Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''
-
*''The Guardian'' describes itself as "Britain's [[Prancing|Pranciest]] Newspaper".
+
-
===Real-World References===
+
'''MAN:''' ''{off screen}'' I can't believe he said that.
-
*The song Strong Bad sings in the beginning of the email is from original ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' game.
+
-
*"Nevermind the Bullocks" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Sex Pistols|Sex Pistols]]' controversial album ''[[Wikipedia:Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols|Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols]]''. Upon its release in 1977, Virgin Records was sued for obscenity but won the case (with the chairman famously declaring "we must reluctantly find you not guilty of each of the four charges."), the album was banned from the three largest retailers (but was otherwise legal), and their proposed tour for the album was drastically shortened after half their shows were canceled by political pressure or illness.
+
-
*The newspaper that appears is a very faithfully reproduced version of UK broadsheet ''[[Wikipedia:The Guardian|The Guardian]]'', including references to that paper's supplement, [[Wikipedia:The Guardian#Supplements and features|G2]]. ''The Guardian'' has since undergone a major design overhaul and no longer resembles the version depicted in the toon.
+
-
*In the corner of the photo of Strong Bad, a classic [[Wikipedia:Buses in London|London bus]] can be seen. There is also an advert on the side of it for [[Wikipedia:EasyJet|easyJet]], a British airline.
+
-
*Somebody sounding suspiciously like [[Wikipedia:Ringo Starr|Ringo Starr]] says "I can't believe he said that" at the end of the press conference. This could be in reference to the infamous [[Wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]] quote stating that [[The Beatles]] were "more popular than Jesus" and the uproar that ensued.
+
-
===Fast Forward===
+
== Fun Facts ==
-
*The Cheat's whispering to Strong Bad is one of the quotes on the "Learn to Speak The Cheat" record in [[cheat talk]]. It translates as "Check it out, this is going to be great! Just say, 'Screw all y'all!'"
+
-
== DVD Version ==
+
*The song Strong Bad sings in the beginning of the email is the theme to the orginal Donkey Kong game.
-
* The press conference scene is accessed by a Strong Bad head next to the masthead of the newspaper. The previous email and next email buttons aren't available until the end of the press conference.
+
*Nevermind the Bollocks is the title of the punk band The Sex Pistols' only album. 
-
 
+
*Somebody sounding suspiciously like Ringo Starr says "I can't believe he said that" at the end of the press conference.
-
== YouTube Version ==
+
*This could be in reference to the infamous John Lennon quote stating that the Beatles were "bigger than Jesus", and the uproar that ensued.
-
* The press conference scene plays automatically after the cut to the newspaper.
+
* The paper that appears is a very faithfully reproduced version of UK broadsheet [http://www.guardian.co.uk The Guardian], including references to that paper's supplement, G2. Also referred to are B2, a class of bomber used by the USAF, and F7, a type of rail engine.
 +
*In the corner of the photo of Strong Bad, a classic London bus can be seen. There is also an advert on the side of it for 'EasyJet', a British airline.
 +
* The reason why this is called the lost email is because after [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] made email 21, [[cartoon]], they went ahead and made email 23, [[little animal]], skipping over number 22.  Sometime during emails 35-40, The Brothers Chaps went ahead and made email 22.
 +
*When the announcer says "Gor blimey" he sounds more Australian than English.
 +
*"Bobby" is English slang for a policeman, hence the joke on the paper about a policeman actually named Bobby.
