strongbad_email.exe is the first Homestar Runner DVD series, primarily collecting Strong Bad Emails.

The first three discs, comprising the first 100 emails, were sold as a 3-disc box set; Discs 4, 5, and 6 were released in later years and sold individually. The original box set was first sold on the Flash Store, with the later discs releasing to the Yahoo Store. When the store moved to Shopify, only Disc 5 was available until its discontinuation in mid-2017; strongbad_email.exe DVDs were unavailable for purchase until 2020, when they were re-released in a 6-disc compilation.

Easter Eggs

  • Most of the emails have three kinds of secrets:
    • Audio commentary: Accessible by pressing the "Language" or "Audio" button. Not all emails have them.
    • Secret "angle": Accessible by pressing the "Angle" button. Usually used to display the short pop-ups that can appear when you click on different things during the emails.
    • Secret menu options: Once the email is over, you can press down from "Next" to find a hidden menu option—a little icon that looks like Strong Bad's head. (You typically have to press down several times to find the hidden icon.) Sometimes there are secret options hidden under "Again," "Main," or "Next," and sometimes you have to browse around (left/right) from other hidden options to find them all. All Easter eggs are listed in the "DVD Version" sections of the Strong Bad Email articles.
  • Each menu has a secret Easter egg viewable after a short period of time.

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • .exe is a file extension meaning "executable". An executable file contains code for a program and "executes" in an operating system. .exe files are used in DOS (e.g., "Peasants_Quest.exe" ran the Peasant's Quest program) and Microsoft Windows, but not on a Macintosh computer (which The Cheat uses). Specifically, "strongbad_email.exe" is what Strong Bad types on his computer to begin nearly every email, except for the following:
    • All emails on the Tandy 400, where Strong Bad types: run "strongbad's_email"
    • the bird, weird dream, where Strong Bad does not type anything to open his email.
    • anything, where Homestar types: run "sb_enail.com"  
    • secret identity, where Strong Bad types: strongbad_email.wad

Trivia

  • This is The Brothers Chaps' 3D CGI debut.
  • When the DVD set was first released, it was in such high demand that the online store quickly ran out.
