'''[[Anonymous Contributor]]''' (also called '''Anonymous''' and '''Anonny''') is a depiction of [[Strong Sad]] on lined paper, but with a question mark where his face would normally be. He was inspired by the author of the email [[rock opera]], who wrote under the name "Anonymous Contributor" of Gambier, Ohio. Instead of treating the email's author as an anonymous person, [[Strong Bad]] went on to describe the unfortunate effects of actually being named "Anonymous", creating this character in the process. In one scene, Anonymous had his hands glued to his butt, just as Strong Sad did in [[1 step ahead]]. The association between Anonymous and Strong Sad may have come from [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], in which [[Homestar Runner]] says he found Strong Bad thanks to "an anonymous tip from Strong Sad", though it could also be the fact that Anonymous was being made fun of, something which [[Lil' Strong Bad]] would have done to [[Lil' Strong Sad]] as a kid. In [[Fan Costumes 2016]], a fan dresses up as Anonymous, which is so obscure a costume that Strong Bad has to consult the [[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgements#Homestar Runner Wiki Acknowledgments|Homestar Runner Wiki]] to figure out what it is.

'''[[A Decemberween Mackerel]]''' was released on December 14, 2010, after eight months of [[HRWiki:Hiatuses|no major updates]] to [[homestarrunner.com]], and serves as the [[Decemberween]] toon of the year. The toon begins with [[Homestar Runner]] wondering why he and [[Marzipan]] are slogging through the snow with a dish of bean sprouts. Marzipan announces that they're bringing a hot meal to the less-fortunate... in this case, [[Senor Cardgage]]. After being disturbed my Cardgage's mannerisms, Homestar leaves, but much to Marzipan's shock, Senor Cardgage claims to be... [[Death|dying]]! Back at [[Marzipan's house]], Marzipan announces the bad news, and ropes Homestar into cramming Senor Cardgage with enough holiday cheer to produce a live-saving Decemberween miracle. But even equipped with Homestar's tinsel-wrapped cram-rod, nothing seems to work: carolling, posing for a greeting card photo (complete with an overly enthusiastic letter "to brag about our family"), holiday shopping at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], and even lighting a [[telephone pole]] draped in lights in a vaguely tree-shaped fashion don't seem to help Senor's terminal condition... until [[Strong Bad]] barges in. Strong Bad reveals the only cure for Senor Cardgage's condition... but what could it be? {{watch|xmas10.html}} [[A Decemberween Mackerel|(more...)]]'''

'''[[Which Ween Costumes?]]''', a toon done in the style of the endings of [[Halloween]] toons but with a [[Decemberween]] theme, was released on December 23, 2010 to compensate for the lack of a Halloween toon that year (due to a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] [[HRWiki:Hiatuses|hiatus]]), and was itself the latest toon for over three years, until the release of [[April Fool 2014]]. {{watch|xmas10 costumes.html}} '''[[Which Ween Costumes?|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[butt IQ]]''', the 3<sup>rd</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Tyler asks Strong Bad how "[he knows] if someone's butt is stupid", a question inspired by [[You've Got an Ugly and Stupid Butt|one of the songs]] in [[Strong Bad Sings]]. Strong Bad then explains the "Transitive Butt Property", one of his [[bogus mathematical theorems]], using a [[Bad Graphics Ghost#Other Bad Graphics|bad-graphics picture]] of [[Homestar Runner]]. "...The stupidity of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the stupidity of that person's head."

'''[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]]''', released on April Fools' Day 2016, is the seventeenth in a [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|series of toons]] featuring messages left by various citizens of [[Free Country, USA]] for [[Marzipan]] to hear, as well as the first one since [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2|Version 16.2]] seven years earlier, and the first overall [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] update since [[Fan Costumes 2015]] five months earlier. It is also by far the longest Homestar Runner toon, being nearly four times the length of [[I Killed Pom Pom]] or [[Puppets on the Road]], and is notably a [[YouTube]] embed as opposed to a [[Flash]] file. {{watch|answer17.html}} '''[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2|(more...)]]''' {{clear}}

In '''[[homestar hair]]''', the 4<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Strong Bad]] gets a [[Hairstyle Runner]] instead of a normal e-mail. After deleting it (though not with the standard [[DELETED!]] screen), he gets frustrated that no one ever plays [[Strong Libs]] or sends him any hilarious stuff from that game. To get his mind off of e-mails, he then plays [[Wikipedia:Temple of Apshai|Temple of Apshai]]. {{watch|sbemail4.html}} '''[[homestar hair|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[space program]]''', the 138th [[Strong Bad Email]], Ryan asks [[Strong Bad]] if [[Strong Badia]] has a space program. Strong Bad boasts that since even the Italians have a space program these days, of course Strong Badia has one: [[the Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil]], or SBASAF for short. Their latest mission involves sending fifteen "Earth dollars" into space, where "according to our vague understanding of the theory of relativity", it will age into a million dollars. Only one man is good enough at video games for a mission of this caliber: "First Lieuteneral Space Captainface" (AKA Strong Bad). With the help of onboard mechanic Harold "Strap" Coopmore (AKA [[The Cheat]]) and Flight Engineer Ted Averill (AKA the [[Tire]]), Space Captainface will pilot [[the Proud Anselmo]], flagship of SBASAF's 30-vessel fleet, and impress lots of hot 60s-looking girls. In reality, this works out to Strong Bad and The Cheat riding around in a bunch of cardboard boxes taped together, with [[Strong Mad]] providing "escape velocity" effects and a CD of goofy sound effects (that cost them the fifteen bucks intended for the mission). At least the CD provides a humorous "body falling down the stairs" sound, and some appropriate laser sound effects when fighting off a "space myoo-tant from Satriani 5" (AKA [[Homestar Runner]] with a sweater stuck over his head). An [[Space Program Alternate Take|outtake]], which shows the pre-flight check, was released alongside this email on [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five|DVD]]. {{watch|sbemail138.html}} '''[[space program|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[portrait]]''', the 139th [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Strong Bad]] answers a question from Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) asking if he's ever considered having a portrait commissioned of himself. He considers it being done by a [[German|Deutsch]] Master; in the style of the black-and-white ink portraits seen in "rich guy newspapers"; the sort that look like they're made out of Morse code, or a black velvet portrait of himself hunting skunks, to be showcased "in only the finest double-wide [[Trailer Home|trailers]]" alongside blacklight posters of [[unicorns]] on snowmobiles. However, as Strong Bad doesn't know anyone with a Master of Fine Arts degree, he relies [[Strong Mad]] and [[The Cheat]]. The Cheat is still taking his sweet time on a hand-sculpted (or rather, [[The Cheat Gnawing|mouth-gnawed]]) wooden sculpture of Strong Bad, while the best Strong Mad can manage is a glitter-coated [[macaroni]] painting. Strong Bad decides it's time for a self-portrait... in the form of a cheap photo cut-out of a muscular version of himself with a "[[keyswordtar]]" and a hawk. Unfortunately, his head gets stuck inside; he passes the time plotting his escape from the cut-out by chatting it up with [[Lord Quackingstick]] and [[Princess Shellbra]] (both played by a duck-head toy). {{watch|sbemail139.html}} '''[[portrait|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[making out]]''', the 5<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], "Kisless in Santa Rosa" asks [[Strong Bad]] how she can get her boyfriend to [[Making Out|make out]] with her. He advises against "the whole [[Peter Frampton]] thang", and suggests that she waits until her boyfriend comes home, lights a few candles, has a glass of [[Alcohol|wine]], and puts on Strong Bad's hit single "You're Really Ugly (But There's Nobody Cute Around)". Strong Bad then says that "Kissless"'s boyfriend will be "all over [her] like [[The King of Town]] on a Chinese buffet". This is also one of very few emails in which the [[page title]] is not the name of the computer Strong Bad is using or a variant of it. {{watch|sbemail5.html}} '''[[making out|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[secret identity]]''', the 142nd [[Strong Bad Email]], Chris asks [[Strong Bad]] if he has a secret identity. Strong Bad at first claims that he and [[The Poopsmith]] have never been seen together, but this is quickly put to the lie when the Poopsmith shows up in the [[computer room]] along with [[Homestar Runner]], who was the one who let him in, and also used up the last of the [[mayonnaise]] for the Poopsmith's [[hamburger]]. Strong Bad does have several [[secret identities]], at least. When he's travelling on business and doesn't want to be bothered by legions of fans, he uses the alias "Tip Tappers, Expensive Briefcase Carrier", as seen when he checks in at [[Bubs' Motor Lodge]], alongside such names as Mr. Dee Williams, AKA Homestar. Strong Bad also claims to have a secret second family in the town of Broiter Grove, whom he visits as "Vance Mudgeman". His visits mostly consist of sitting around watching TV in a [[trailer home]] and making threats at the kids when they act up. Strong Bad also writes an advice column for [[Scarfgirl]] magazine under the name "Cara Carabowditbowdit". [[Marzipan]] isn't too impressed by Miss Carabowditbowdit's advice, or her "pseudoname", but Homestar thinks Marzipan envies her popularity with the hot boys. The email ends with Strong Bad sending Homestar, the Poopsmith, and [[The King of Town]] out of [[House of the Brothers Strong|his house]]. {{watch|sbemail142.html}} '''[[secret identity|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[depressio]]''', the 6<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Anthony from South Gate, California tells [[Strong Bad]] to tell [[Strong Sad]] that he is "a dumb and crappy guy". Strong Bad then delivers the message while Strong Sad is actually writing a card for Anthony and sending him a hundred dollars. Knowing Anthony hates him, Strong Sad rips the card in half. Strong Bad then suggests that anyone who hates Strong Sad should email ''him'' instead, and gives them his e-mail address. For a while after this e-mail was released, e-mailing Strong Sad would get an automated response containing a link to [[The Secrets That I Keep]], which was later changed to an autoamated response containing a link to [[Strong Sad's Lament|his Lament]]. The e-mail account has since been removed. Apart from being about Strong Sad, this is also the first Strong Bad Email in which he appears. {{watch|sbemail6.html}} '''[[depressio|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[brianrietta]]''', the 8<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Brian sends [[Strong Bad]] a long email that, in short, compliments him and asks if he should go out someday. Strong Bad starts to agree, but stops himself after he notices the boy's name. However, he agrees if Brian happens to be short for Brianrietta or Brian-Sue or something like that. This is the first e-mail in which Strong Bad has a more modern animation style and a voice with less of a Mexican accent. Combined with the fact that it was released over two months after [[halloweener|the previous email]], and that Strong Bad Emails came out at, for the most part, a weekly pace for the rest of 2002 and, to a lesser extent, the following six years, this can also be seen as the true beginning of Strong Bad Emails. {{watch|sbemail8.html}} '''[[brianrietta|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[trevor the vampire]]''', the 10<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Strong Bad]] gets an email from Trevor, a vampire from Hampden, Maine. However, because the e-mail is unfinished, Strong Bad comes to the realisation that someone put a stake through his heart, killing him. Distressed, Strong Bad then shows the viewers "a few of [his] favourite Trevor memories", which are nothing more than reading parts of his e-mail. The e-mail ends with a memorial to Trevor on the [[Tandy 400]]'s screen. {{watch|sbemail10.html}} '''[[trevor the vampire|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[credit card]]''', the 12<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], "John, and some other people who [[Blatant Lies|aren't scam artists]]" tell [[Strong Bad]] that his [[Credit Cards|credit card]] has expired, and that he should send it to them so they can renew it. Knowing it is in fact a [[Credit Card Fraud|scam]], he edits the e-mail and forwards it to [[Homestar Runner]]. Homestar, knowing that the "Superfied Credit Union" has the same e-mail address as Strong Bad, but presumably unaware that it actually ''is'' him, proceeds to send his own credit card information to Strong Bad. With this information, Strong Bad proceeds to buy stuff from "the_coolest_stuff_ever.com". A fan site with this same name was later made, and had the same layout as it does in this e-mail, but with some extra prices; as an [[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgements|acknowledgement]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] later added these prices to the e-mail. Also, despite the [[Tandy 400]]'s lack of a mouse, Strong Bad somehow uses one in this e-mail. {{watch|sbemail12.html}} '''[[credit card|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[more armies]]''', the 172nd [[Strong Bad Email]], Paul asks [[Strong Bad]] if his three sons can get some information on joining the [[Strong Badia]]n army. Strong Bad, after pointing out that Strong Badia doesn't have or need an army (which he previously said in [[army|the email of the same name]]), waits three weeks for the Vaguely Military Career Fair, which he spends by helping [[The Cheat]] ([[Tito]]) and [[Strong Mad]] with their magic act. At the fair, Strong Bad talks about the [[On Point Kings]], who specialise in "black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op" and have an impressive-looking brochure printed on 65-pound card-stock and made with a pirated version of [[wikipedia:QuarkXpress|QuarkXpress]]. Next up is [[The King of Town]], who is busy drinking [[giblet]] [[gravy]], but has a very inspiring informational video on joining the forces of [[the Municipality]], which features [[The Poopsmith]] dramatically climbing the wall of [[The King of Town's Castle|the King's castle]]. Lastly, [[Homestar Runner]] enthusiastically recruits "five-bucks havers" into the "[[Lack of Visible Arms|no-armed forces]]" of the [[Homestarmy]]. After Strong Bad suggests that each of Paul's sons enter a different of the three armies, [[The Paper]] appears crumpled and ripped, which Strong Bad describes as "a bad sign". It would eventually be replaced by [[New Paper]] in [[the paper|the following email]], which was predicted in [[montage]]. {{watch|sbemail172.html}} '''[[more armies|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[i she be]]''', the 13<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], "Great Looking Girl" tells [[Strong Bad]], "i she be your girlfriend." Strong Bad, however, is angry at how [[Poorly Written Emails|poorly-written]] the email is. Instead of "let[ting] [her] email [[DELETED!|go to waste]]", however, he forwards it to [[The Cheat]]. The Cheat later has an [[Wikipedia:AOL Instant Messenger|AIM]] conversation with Great Looking Girl, in which they agree to hook up, though mostly because The Cheat describes his appearance like [[Strong Mad]]'s instead of his own.

In '''[[duck pond]]''', the 14<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Ron Kiwi asks [[Strong Bad]] if he feeds the ducks. Strong Bad says that because there isn't a pond near his house (though there ''is'' [[The Pond|one]] elsewhere in [[Free Country, USA]]), he has a [[Duck Pond|duck pond simulator]] on the [[Tandy 400]]. The duck pond simulator can be played; after feeding either duck 10 times, it switches to an [[Atari 2600]] version, which used to be playable, but is now a demo. This is also the first mention of [[Videlectrix]], albeit retroactively (i. e. at the time the Atari 2600 version of Duck Pond became a demo). {{watch|sbemail14.html}} '''[[duck pond|(more...)]]'''

Herein, [[Strong Bad]] checks emails on several kitchen appliances, before remembering the [[Compé]]. However, years of non-use have caused the Compé to be covered in dust, which has fortunately converted it into a new computer called the [[Lappier]], which resembles the [[Lappy 486]]. {{watch|sbemail206.html}} '''[[Lappier|(more...)]]'''

*Someone says "Are you listening to me?"; you say, "Yes," but you're not really listening

*You say "Hey, look over there!" to someone; if they do look, you pour [[Coca-Cola|Coke]] down their shirt
+
-
*You bet someone a hundred "bucks"; if they win, you give them a hundred kicks in the butt

Strong Bad then says that since everyone has their own tastes, T.J. should "develop [his] own style".

Strong Bad suggests that Roy should "close the book and quit being such a dork-on", because his girlfriend "obviously has the hots for [him]". However, he lets it slide if the book Roy is studying happens to be called "This Book is Better than 1st, 2nd, and Quite Possibly Even 3rd Base". Strong Bad then decides to take back his suggestions, and goes over to Roy's girlfriend's house, but immediately comes back, not knowing her name or where she lives. The email contains a link to [[bookazon.com]]; specifically, a page about the book Strong Bad wants Roy to study; this page is the first mention of the recurring author [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]. This is also the first e-mail in which the then-untitled [[The Geddup Noise|Geddup Noise]] is heard (though [[depressio|a previous e-mail]] contained a similar sound). {{watch|sbemail17.html}} '''[[studying|(more...)]]'''

Strong Sad inserts an old video into [[the VCR]] in [[Strong Sad's Room|his room]]; the video starts off with a younger [[Coach Z]] at a show congratulating [[Marzipan]] on "her wonderful clogging". The show's next contestant is [[Lil' Strong Bad]], who struggles with jokes, but still makes the audience laugh; his first joke is about a piece of cafeteria food being cardboard or [[pizza]], and his second joke is about the hair Coach Z had at the time.

In '''[[cartoon]]''', the 21<sup>st</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], "Geroge" ''[sic]'' asks [[Strong Bad]] to make a cartoon including only himself and doing the commentary. The cartoon consists of Strong Bad standing in [[the field]] looking at a singing bird and scratching his head; despite this lack of activity, he manages to do a commentary about it. He than explains that, "Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, but too much of an awesome thing is...umm...really, really dumb and bad." Strong Bad then watches the moving green lines on the [[Tandy 400]]'s screen and gets hypnotised, eventually falling asleep on the keyboard; he makes a commentary out of that, as well. A 3D cartoon resembling the field one was later used in [[Strong Bad Gameways]]. This is also the first e-mail in which [[The Paper]] also has Strong Bad's email address written on it (in the previous twenty e-mails, it simply read "Click here to email strong bad"). {{watch|sbemail21.html}} '''[[cartoon|(more...)]]'''

[[Strong Bad Email]]'s unusual '''[[sb_email 22|22<sup>nd</sup> installment]]''' has no official name. In this e-mail, Mark from England asks [[Strong Bad]] what he thinks of the English. After remarking that Mark should "have an unnecessary vowel at the end of [his] name", and that the "Thank you" should be "Cheers", "Cheerio", or "Nevermind the Bollocks", Strong Bad starts to explain what he thinks of the English, but is interrupted by a sign stating that the e-mail is banned in the United Kingdom. An Easter egg states that, apart from what Strong Bad presumably said about the English, the reason for this banning is because of a visit Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] paid to the United Kingdom, where Strong Bad just says "Screw all y'all" to a crowd. Although this is the 22<sup>th</sup> Strong Bad Email, it was released not after [[cartoon]] but after [[vacation]]; for this reason, it is also known as "The Lost Email", and is probably the reason why it has no official name and, combined with the in-toon events, why it was banned in the UK.

But before Strong Bad can actually finish his reply to the e-mail, [[Strong Mad]] comes up to him angry. After trying to explain that it was just a joke, Strong Bad kicks Strong Mad in the knee and quickly runs off, then Strong Mad chases him around the [[computer room]] for as long as the viewer leaves the toon open. Although this is not the first instance of kicking The Cheat (it was in fact in the [[Original Book|original Homestar Runner book]]), it is the first time Strong Bad does it. Apart from being the first e-mail in which Strong Mad appears, this is also the first appearance of [[Strong Man]] and [[The Sneak]], Strong Mad's and The Cheat's [[Old-Timey]] counterparts respectively (an Easter egg changes the chase scene to one of Strong Man chasing [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]). It is also one of the two e-mails that Strong Bad later proceeds to [[do over]]. {{watch|sbemail23.html}} '''[[little animal|(more...)]]'''

Despite his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|lack of visible fingers]], he does a finger gesture in several directions, then finishes off with the [[Double Deuce]].

Strong Bad states that it is; he picks up a [[Cold One]] and tenses with the diamond glowing; this eventually causes the bottle cap to come off. Having only tested the power on Cold Ones, Strong Bad then gets an idea; he goes to [[Coach Z's locker room]], where [[Coach Z]] and [[Homestar Runner]] are having a conversation about tight [[pants]]; Strong Bad [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] the conversation by using his power to make [[Homestar Runner's Hat|Homestar's hat]] fall off his head three times. Interestingly, Strong Bad has not used this power since this e-mail.

After mentioning several nonsensical classes, Strong Bad states that to enter the university, someone must paint a [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife|picture of a guy with a big knife]], but an anonymous announcer claims that applicants are not accepted and that the art test is only so they can make fun of people who try to apply.

After criticising several [[Crapfully Yours]]-style signatures, Strong Bad notices that the horns in his picture look like [[croissants]] the way he drew them; he then states that the third wish would be some croissants.

In sample strips from Strong Badman, the titular character tells [[Strong Badman Characters#Stiny|Stiny]] to get him a Danish pastry and also asks him who spilled [[coffee]] all over his plans for his death ray.

Strong Bad tries to persuade Strong Sad to give him money to either fix the Tandy or get it replaced, but fails, since Strong Sad also wants his poster replaced.

After breathing in a [[balloon]], Strong Bad sings a song in his high-pitched voice, but the effect is temporary. Strong Mad then breathes in a balloon, but for some reason, his voice does not change. The Cheat then tries to breathe in a balloon, but the entire balloon gets stuck inside of him, causing him to become round and float away. At the same time, [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Marzipan]] are having a conversation about [[pork]] and [[beans]], but are [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupted]] by the floating The Cheat.

After knocking the Tandy away, Strong Bad starts up his new computer, the [[Compy 386]], which is, in his words, "a spectacle of graphics and sound". The first e-mail on his new computer, from sinstudly17, asks him what he would do if he was "invisable" ''[sic]'' for one day. Strong Bad imagines that he would steal [[Swiss Cake Rolls]] from [[Bubs]]'s [[Bubs' Concession Stand|Concession Stand]], punch [[Homestar Runner]] in the gut, and watch TV while eating the Swiss Cake Rolls. In his imagination, however, [[Strong Mad]] ends up sitting on the invisible Strong Bad. Back in the real world, Strong Bad then thinks he needs a shower.

Strong Bad, struggling as to whether he knows anything about [[Strong Bad's Ladies|the ladies]] either, then runs off.

The guy with long hair could play white blues on his acoustic guitar. And the attendants could get some [[Cold Ones]] and invite skinny blonde girls. Liking the sound of the party, Strong Bad then states he actually does want to go. An Easter egg contains [[Circles]], the song from the demo tape for the party. Discounting this Easter egg, this is the shortest e-mail of the [[Compy 386]] era, at 1:06. {{watch|sbemail49.html}} '''[[theme party|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[suntan]]''', the 77<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Meg compliments Strong Bad on [[Stinkoman|how he looked]] as a [[Japanese cartoon]], then tells him he should get a suntan so he can look better. He decides to do so, what with the summer coming up, and knowing it will help his abdominal muscles and his "cloits". Strong Bad sunbathes in the middle of [[the field]], while [[The King of Town]] steals his animal fat and cocoa butter. After six to eight hours, [[Marzipan]] tries to give him advice, as well as point out his mistakes, including drawing fake abdominal muscles on his chest. Strong Bad then gets an idea: he advertises the [[Ab-Abber 2000]], with which people draw fake abdominal muscles on their chest, with [[Strong Sad]] forced to be a spokesperson due to Strong Bad having stolen his stuffed lobster [[Gooblies]]. [[Homsar]] also tries the Ab-Abber 2000, but not in the intended way. This e-mail is also the first use of the term "[[all up ons]]". {{watch|sbemail77.html}} '''[[suntan|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[anything]]''', the 78<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Strong Bad]] has taken the week off, so [[Homestar Runner]] fills in. The e-mail intended for Strong Bad, from Dan, asks him if he has ever made anything out of anything. Homestar, pretending that the e-mail is for him (he even gets angry with Dan for "calling" him Strong Bad), says that among the things ''he'' has made out of other stuff are: a present for [[Marzipan]] out of old CD's, a breakfast out of cold [[pizza]] and half and half, a set of coasters out of old [[Sega tapes]], and a pair of shoes out of a pair of shoe boxes. But this time, he proceeds to make "a wet computer out of [[Compy 386|Strong Bad's computer]]". He pours [[Mountain Dew]] over the Compy, and due to how much has been poured, calls it "the never-ending soda". He then proceeds to pour it over the Compy for as long as the viewer leaves the toon open. To date, this is the only e-mail in which Strong Bad does not appear. Also, in [[email thunder]], the 200<sup>th</sup> e-mail, Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew over [[Happy 8600|Homestar's own computer]] for "stealing [his] thunder" with [[Hremails|his own e-mail show]], even quoting Homestar's "apply liberally" quote in this e-mail complete with his accent. {{watch|sbemail78.html}} '''[[anything|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[the process]]''', the 79<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Em asks [[Strong Bad]] about the process of how a Strong Bad Email is made. After warning that it spoils the magic and is not for "the faint of heart [or] the faint of butt", Strong Bad points out [[Strong Bad Email Intros|his e-mail intro]], then how he opens the e-mail, then how he makes fun of [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling and grammar errors]], then how he makes fun of the sender's name, then how he typically replies, then how [[Fourth Wall Breaks|some words can be clicked]] to "[[Easter Eggs|make little pictures of stuff pop up]]". Strong Bad then points out the cut to another scene, where another character, such as [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], or [[The Cheat]] will make an appearance. In this case, Bubs lies about how popular is with the ladies, then criticises Strong Bad's e-mail show, causing The Cheat to light Bubs's foot on fire and put his other foot in a beehive. Strong Bad then points out the cut back to the computer, where he wraps things up and waits for [[The Paper]] to come down. He then points out that after waiting 10 to 15 seconds after The Paper comes down, something else happens; in this case, [[Homestar Runner]] shows up and Strong Bad [[Throwing Bricks|throws a discount brick]] at him. {{watch|sbemail79.html}} '''[[the process|(more...)]]'''

In '''[[stunt double]]''', the 80<sup>th</sup> [[Strong Bad Email]], Louis asks [[Strong Bad]] if he uses a stunt double. Strong Bad then shows clips from his new movie: ''Dangeresque 2: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1''. And so, the [[Strong Bad Email spin-off]] [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] is born. In the Dangeresque movie, Strong Bad plays [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]], [[Coach Z]] plays [[Renaldo]], [[Strong Sad]] is forced to be a [[The Stunt Double|stunt double]], [[Strong Mad]] plays himself, [[Homestar Runner]] is just a guy in the background, [[Bubs]] plays the villain [[Baron Darin Diamonocle]], [[The Cheat]] is his pet, and [[Marzipan]] plays [[Cutesy Buttons]]. As far as the plot goes, Dangeresque must find a missing tape. After the clips, Strong Bad mentions the sequel: ''Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective'', which will be made in June 2004 in 3D, followed by a 3D effect. In that very month, the email [[dangeresque 3]] was released, which asks when Dangeresque 3 is coming out, but it's still being made and Strong Bad just shows the prequel: ''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too?''. However, over five years after this email, [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] was finally released as an episode of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], and ''six'' years after this e-mail, [[Dangeresque: THREE in 3D|parts of it were made in 3D]], as promised. {{watch|sbemail80.html}} '''[[stunt double|(more...)]]'''

*"[[The Poopsmith]], he could talk"

*"[[The Stick]] would be this big old tree that would try to eat everyone except [[The Cheat]] and me" (and not [[Strong Mad]])

[edit] Anonymous Contributor

"Why don't you go... write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!"

Anonymous Contributor (also called Anonymous and Anonny) is a depiction of Strong Sad on lined paper, but with a question mark where his face would normally be. He was inspired by the author of the email rock opera, who wrote under the name "Anonymous Contributor" of Gambier, Ohio. Instead of treating the email's author as an anonymous person, Strong Bad went on to describe the unfortunate effects of actually being named "Anonymous", creating this character in the process. In one scene, Anonymous had his hands glued to his butt, just as Strong Sad did in 1 step ahead. The association between Anonymous and Strong Sad may have come from Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon, in which Homestar Runner says he found Strong Bad thanks to "an anonymous tip from Strong Sad", though it could also be the fact that Anonymous was being made fun of, something which Lil' Strong Bad would have done to Lil' Strong Sad as a kid. In Fan Costumes 2016, a fan dresses up as Anonymous, which is so obscure a costume that Strong Bad has to consult the Homestar Runner Wiki to figure out what it is. (more...)

[edit] A Decemberween Mackerel

"My coma's toast..."

A Decemberween Mackerel was released on December 14, 2010, after eight months of no major updates to homestarrunner.com, and serves as the Decemberween toon of the year. The toon begins with Homestar Runner wondering why he and Marzipan are slogging through the snow with a dish of bean sprouts. Marzipan announces that they're bringing a hot meal to the less-fortunate... in this case, Senor Cardgage. After being disturbed my Cardgage's mannerisms, Homestar leaves, but much to Marzipan's shock, Senor Cardgage claims to be... dying! Back at Marzipan's house, Marzipan announces the bad news, and ropes Homestar into cramming Senor Cardgage with enough holiday cheer to produce a live-saving Decemberween miracle. But even equipped with Homestar's tinsel-wrapped cram-rod, nothing seems to work: carolling, posing for a greeting card photo (complete with an overly enthusiastic letter "to brag about our family"), holiday shopping at Bubs' Concession Stand, and even lighting a telephone pole draped in lights in a vaguely tree-shaped fashion don't seem to help Senor's terminal condition... until Strong Bad barges in. Strong Bad reveals the only cure for Senor Cardgage's condition... but what could it be? watch (more...)

[edit] Which Ween Costumes?

"I think we may have gotten our... 'weens' crossed."

Which Ween Costumes?, a toon done in the style of the endings of Halloween toons but with a Decemberween theme, was released on December 23, 2010 to compensate for the lack of a Halloween toon that year (due to a Homestar Runner hiatus), and was itself the latest toon for over three years, until the release of April Fool 2014. watch (more...)

[edit] April Fool 2014

"You got this, Homestar. This is nothin'."

On April Fools' Day 2014, homestarrunner.com had its first major update in over three years. watch (more...)

[edit] Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2

"OH DANG MUFFINS PIE À LA MODE!"
Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2, released on April Fools' Day 2016, is the seventeenth in a series of toons featuring messages left by various citizens of Free Country, USA for Marzipan to hear, as well as the first one since Version 16.2 seven years earlier, and the first overall Homestar Runner update since Fan Costumes 2015 five months earlier. It is also by far the longest Homestar Runner toon, being nearly four times the length of I Killed Pom Pom or Puppets on the Road, and is notably a YouTube embed as opposed to a Flash file. watch (more...)

[edit] space program

"Nice work, The Strap!"

In space program, the 138th Strong Bad Email, Ryan asks Strong Bad if Strong Badia has a space program. Strong Bad boasts that since even the Italians have a space program these days, of course Strong Badia has one: the Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil, or SBASAF for short. Their latest mission involves sending fifteen "Earth dollars" into space, where "according to our vague understanding of the theory of relativity", it will age into a million dollars. Only one man is good enough at video games for a mission of this caliber: "First Lieuteneral Space Captainface" (AKA Strong Bad). With the help of onboard mechanic Harold "Strap" Coopmore (AKA The Cheat) and Flight Engineer Ted Averill (AKA the Tire), Space Captainface will pilot the Proud Anselmo, flagship of SBASAF's 30-vessel fleet, and impress lots of hot 60s-looking girls. In reality, this works out to Strong Bad and The Cheat riding around in a bunch of cardboard boxes taped together, with Strong Mad providing "escape velocity" effects and a CD of goofy sound effects (that cost them the fifteen bucks intended for the mission). At least the CD provides a humorous "body falling down the stairs" sound, and some appropriate laser sound effects when fighting off a "space myoo-tant from Satriani 5" (AKA Homestar Runner with a sweater stuck over his head). An outtake, which shows the pre-flight check, was released alongside this email on DVD. watch (more...)

[edit] portrait

Done by a Deutsch Master.

In portrait, the 139th Strong Bad Email, Strong Bad answers a question from Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) asking if he's ever considered having a portrait commissioned of himself. He considers it being done by a Deutsch Master; in the style of the black-and-white ink portraits seen in "rich guy newspapers"; the sort that look like they're made out of Morse code, or a black velvet portrait of himself hunting skunks, to be showcased "in only the finest double-wide trailers" alongside blacklight posters of unicorns on snowmobiles. However, as Strong Bad doesn't know anyone with a Master of Fine Arts degree, he relies Strong Mad and The Cheat. The Cheat is still taking his sweet time on a hand-sculpted (or rather, mouth-gnawed) wooden sculpture of Strong Bad, while the best Strong Mad can manage is a glitter-coated macaroni painting. Strong Bad decides it's time for a self-portrait... in the form of a cheap photo cut-out of a muscular version of himself with a "keyswordtar" and a hawk. Unfortunately, his head gets stuck inside; he passes the time plotting his escape from the cut-out by chatting it up with Lord Quackingstick and Princess Shellbra (both played by a duck-head toy). watch (more...)

[edit] secret identity

""You get back here with that remote, Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. I'm not afraid to smack—"

In secret identity, the 142nd Strong Bad Email, Chris asks Strong Bad if he has a secret identity. Strong Bad at first claims that he and The Poopsmith have never been seen together, but this is quickly put to the lie when the Poopsmith shows up in the computer room along with Homestar Runner, who was the one who let him in, and also used up the last of the mayonnaise for the Poopsmith's hamburger. Strong Bad does have several secret identities, at least. When he's travelling on business and doesn't want to be bothered by legions of fans, he uses the alias "Tip Tappers, Expensive Briefcase Carrier", as seen when he checks in at Bubs' Motor Lodge, alongside such names as Mr. Dee Williams, AKA Homestar. Strong Bad also claims to have a secret second family in the town of Broiter Grove, whom he visits as "Vance Mudgeman". His visits mostly consist of sitting around watching TV in a trailer home and making threats at the kids when they act up. Strong Bad also writes an advice column for Scarfgirl magazine under the name "Cara Carabowditbowdit". Marzipan isn't too impressed by Miss Carabowditbowdit's advice, or her "pseudoname", but Homestar thinks Marzipan envies her popularity with the hot boys. The email ends with Strong Bad sending Homestar, the Poopsmith, and The King of Town out of his house. watch (more...)

[edit] narrator

"They werea couple in love..."

In narrator, the 144th Strong Bad Email, Grant Gossman wants to know if Strong Bad has ever done narration for movie trailers. Strong Bad replies that he has not, but he finds it more fun to narrate peoples' everyday lives like they're movie trailers:

  • Strong Sad enjoying a "Rogan Josh pot pie" is interrupted by an octopus in the face in "Whined and Dined".
  • "In a post-apocalyptic world where weird old men survive on boring conversations", an argument between Coach Z and Bubs over a used napkin leads to an epic showdown in "Factor Z".
  • Homestar Runner and Marzipan are a couple in love, until a dorky chef's hat threatens to tear them apart.
  • Homsar presumably has a movie of his own, with one scene consisting of him floating in the Field.
  • The Poopsmith is the subject of "Whatsit All About?", "a four-hour film with no plot and no dialogue" from "some smelly French studio".
  • Strong Mad and The Cheat are "Lugnut and Squeak", "two unlikely partners" with "one brain between them".
  • "For hundreds of years, it has haunted mankind"... "it" being the dead goose that pops out of the dryer and smacks Strong Sad in the face in "Things That Go Dump in the Night".

[edit] more armies

""The Homestarmy has a career for you in the no-armed forces!"

In more armies, the 172nd Strong Bad Email, Paul asks Strong Bad if his three sons can get some information on joining the Strong Badian army. Strong Bad, after pointing out that Strong Badia doesn't have or need an army (which he previously said in the email of the same name), waits three weeks for the Vaguely Military Career Fair, which he spends by helping The Cheat (Tito) and Strong Mad with their magic act. At the fair, Strong Bad talks about the On Point Kings, who specialise in "black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op" and have an impressive-looking brochure printed on 65-pound card-stock and made with a pirated version of QuarkXpress. Next up is The King of Town, who is busy drinking giblet gravy, but has a very inspiring informational video on joining the forces of the Municipality, which features The Poopsmith dramatically climbing the wall of the King's castle. Lastly, Homestar Runner enthusiastically recruits "five-bucks havers" into the "no-armed forces" of the Homestarmy. After Strong Bad suggests that each of Paul's sons enter a different of the three armies, The Paper appears crumpled and ripped, which Strong Bad describes as "a bad sign". It would eventually be replaced by New Paper in the following email, which was predicted in montage. watch (more...)

[edit] videography

"You name it! I'll videographa... fize it!"
In videography, the 205th Strong Bad Email, Robert McSwain asks Strong Bad to be a "videographer" for his wedding. This email is notable for being the last one for nearly five-and-a-half years, most of which consisted of an overall Homestar Runner hiatus. The Strong Bad Email was finally released on April Fools' Day 2015. watch (more...)

[edit] sbemail206

"Just like the previous model, only crappier. I mean, more expensive. I mean, lappier."

On April Fools' Day 2015, the 206th Strong Bad Email, the aptly titled sbemail206, was released after five months of no updates to homestarrunner.com, and nearly five-and-a-half years after the previous email, videography. Herein, Strong Bad checks emails on several kitchen appliances, before remembering the Compé. However, years of non-use have caused the Compé to be covered in dust, which has fortunately converted it into a new computer called the Lappier, which resembles the Lappy 486. watch (more...)
