This article may need to think of a better commando name. If you have a suggestion, or if you would like to comment on one that may have already been proposed, please see the talk page.

Sometimes when Strong Bad answers an email, he ignores the content of the email or does the complete opposite.

Appearances

• Email some kinda robot — Abdi asks Strong Bad whether he takes his mask and gloves off before he goes to bed, and he responds by asking if Abdi is a robot and would want to join forces.
• Email homsar — Vinnie C. suggests that if Strong Bad hates Homsar (clearly Homestar misspelled) so much, he should kill him. Strong Bad, however, takes it literally, leading him to kill Homsar instead. (This is also the point where Homsar was invented.)
• Email 1 step ahead — One of the choices is to TAKE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. If this choice is picked, Strong Bad does, in fact, take it in a different direction.
• Email spring cleaning — Strong Bad deletes each email instead of doing what it suggests.
• Email superhero name — Stiny asks about Strong Bad's name, but Strong Bad instead makes fun of Stiny's.
• Email 12:00 — Strong Bad is asked for advice on how to make a VCR stop blinking 12:00 and Strong Bad instead tapes another clock onto the VCR.
• Email gimmicks — Strong Bad is reminded of the times when he didn't need a gimmick to be funny, shortly before his computer explodes.
• Email big white face — Jen C. asks Strong Bad why he is mean to the guy with the big white face and gray body (clearly Strong Sad). Strong Bad replies by trying to do something nice for The Poopsmith by baking him a cake, but instead throws the cake at Strong Sad and has to bake another one.
• Email no loafing — Ryan asks Strong Bad about what happened to the No Loafing sign he used to have. Strong Bad responds with the reason he has it and puts up some new motivational posters.
• Email stupid stuff — Kevin Grumbles asks Strong Bad to make Homestar say something stupid, but instead he tries to earn Grumblecakes by making Homestar say something smart.
• Email old comics — Zack asks Strong Bad why The King of Town hired The Poopsmith. Strong Bad replies that he's just always had one, then discusses their history as characters in the comic The Castlefunnies, concluding that "The King of Town still wasn't funny", but never explains why they need a Poopsmith.
• Email retirement — Luke asks Strong Bad to perform amazing feats of wonder, but instead he hosts a freakshow, where Marzipan, The King of Town, The Cheat, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad, perform some instead.
• Email strong badathlon — Lewis Rudkin asks Strong Bad to either kick The Cheat or punch Homestar, but instead he discusses the Olympics parody they hold every year, where those are two of the events.
• Email unnatural — Strong Bad is asked if Strong Badia ever has natural disasters, but instead talks about unnatural disasters, like the time Bubs became the giant King Bubsgonzola Supreme.
• Email rough copy — Malinko asks Strong Bad to help him come up with plots for Strong Bad comics, but instead Strong Bad threatens to sue.
