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]].

Sometimes when [[Strong Bad]] answers an [[Strong Bad Emails|email]], he '''ignores the content of the email and does the complete opposite'''.
