Sometimes in the Strong Bad emails, Strong Bad mixes up what he is asked or told, and will do something either lightly suggested and make the whole email about it, or will mix up facts in the email. This is mostly seen in the Tandy 400 emails, but it is also in the other two eras. Unusually, some of the mixed up emails actually create major parts of the Homestar Runner universe.

Tandy 400 Twisted Emails

• In the email some kinda robot, he is asked one question and makes the email about robots and his being the "greatest criminal mind of our time."
• In homsar, Vinnie C. suggests Strong Bad should kill Homestar because of his hatred towards him. Vinnie C. though spells Homestar as Homsar, and he then ends up dropping a heavy lourde on Homsar, and leaves behind killing Homestar. (Though it might have been intentional so that Homestar wouldn't die)
• In the email i love you, Strong Bad mentions nothing about anything in the email besides his/her name.
• In the email trevor the vampire, since Trevor doesn't finish the sentence, Strong Bad tries to make an email in his honor, thinking that "they" got him.
• In the email "i rule", Mike asks why he doesn't rule the world or some field, and ends up creating "Strong Badia".
• In the email "credit card", he receives an email from John and some people trying to steal Strong Bad's credit card number, he shifts the email to be about "Homestar" and uses his credit card information to buy things on "the_coolest_things_ever.com"
• In "i she be", Strong Bad is sent a phony email saying a girl was named great looking girl. After he plays along with it, he yells at her saying he gets a lot of emails like that and from "ladies with proper grammar" but then feels sorry for her. Thinking that he shouldn't let the email go to waste, he sends it to "The Cheat", later they text each other on an I.M.
• In "studying", he "advises" Roy to stop studying and spend time with his girlfriend. He later tries to steal his girlfriend, but he says that doesn't know her name or where she lives.
• In stand-up, Joe p. wants him to do stand-up comedy. He repeatedly states "no", trying to avoid telling about an embarrassing thing that had happened to him before. "Strong Sad" comes in shortly after to show a tape of Lil' Strong Bad doing stand-up, somehow ending up in his pants falling for no real reason.
• In sb_email 22, Mark asks what Strong Bad thinks of the English, Strong Bad tries to correct his email to sound more English-like (actually making it worse in reality), then he says his opinion, not being heard and the screen turns to black and white with BANNED IN THE UK appearing on the screen over it, for his obviously unethical opinions on England, later ending up in The Guardian.
• In the email CGNU, Strong Bad, instead of telling how to graduate at CGNU, he ends up making an advertisement for it. Also revealing that CGNU is not a real college an applying for it is just to make fun of you.
• In the email 1 step ahead, one of the choices is to TAKE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
• In the email superhero name Strong Bad, instead of answering stiny's question, he makes fun of his name and inserts him as a character in a Strong Badman issue
• In 12:00, Strong Bad is asked for advice on how to fix his vcr from blinking 12:00, he tries to do something that just makes it worse(duct taping an alarm to the vcr), though not realizing it at all.
• In flag day Strong Bad goes immediately from introducing the flag to singing the Strong Badia song.
• In "gimmicks Strong Bad seems to only repeat what he is saying several times, then his computer explodes with no explanation.
• In the email property of ones, he responds to his email with 2 sentences before trailing off to his bogus mathematical theorem

Compy 386 Twisted Emails

• In little questions Strong Bad gets an email from a Swedish person, misspelling things and making grammatical errors throughout. Strong Bad responds in what he knows of how the Swedish talk, instead of answering without leaving a big question on what just happened.
• In marzipan Strong Bad goes from Emily's question about how nobody ever sees him with any girls. She mentions that the only girl she's ever seen even near him is Marzipan. Strong Bad then starts ranting that Marzipan can't keep her "hands" offa me (although this is entirely untrue).
• Email big white face — Jen C. asks Strong Bad why he is mean to Strong Sad, but Strong Bad replies by doing something nice for The Poopsmith.
