BRAAAAAMMMPP!!!

The vast majority of unreadable and unusable emails Strong Bad receives are "DELETED!!" While some are given to The Cheat for filing (or archiving) and others are made into origami by Strong Mad, Strong Bad takes great pleasure in purging his computer of most emails, doing so while screaming "DELETED!!" When he does this, the computer flashes the same word on the screen and emits a loud buzzing noise. When deleting emails, Strong Bad either types the word "deleted" out on the computer screen or presses a single key.

Strong Bad deletes any email that particularly annoys him, but some emails are especially susceptible. In particular, any time he receives emails including the question "How do you type with boxing gloves on?" or other such clichés, he promptly deletes them.

On at least one occasion (sisters), Strong Bad's control of his computer's delete function was nullified by the malfunctioning Tandy 400. This caused him to delete an email which he intended to respond to, and save an email which he intended to delete. A virus also once prevented him from deleting an email (virus). Ordinarily, however, his efforts to delete unwanted emails are infallible, whereas other characters (Homestar Runner and Coach Z) fail in their attempts, sometimes causing a computer error.
