[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Trivia
- This is the first email in which the text goes behind Strong Bad's head, rather than word-wrapping around his head.
- The YouTube description for this email is "Strong Bad gives basic tips on how to mess with people."
[edit] Remarks
- Strong Bad should have run out of room before typing in the word "past".
- Strong Bad made an error of his own when he said "...it works pretty good." Grammatically, it should have been "...it works pretty well."
- At the end of the email, when Strong Bad types the word "Anyways", he leaves it there with a comma instead of finishing the sentence.
- Strong Bad comments on TJ's incorrect punctuation usage, but neglects to comment on his using the possessive "trick's" instead of the plural "tricks".
[edit] Goofs
- Strong Bad unnecessarily capitalizes "But".
- Strong Bad inserts a space between the first quotation mark and "Yes".
- When Strong Bad types 'You say, " Yes," but', only half of the second quotation mark is visible. When he types 'but', the other half appears.
- Because of this, it appears as You say, " Yes,' with an apostrophe rather than a quotation mark.
- The a> typing prompt does not appear again when Strong Bad clears the screen, as in most other Tandy 400 and Compy 386 Emails.
- Strong Bad leaves out a comma between "them" and "TJ".
[edit] Inside References
- Strong Bad receives another email with a "Crapfully Yours"-style signature.
[edit] Real-World References
- "Coke" is short for "Coca-Cola", a world-famous soft drink.
