- Clicking on the top left corner of the T.V. Guide will close it and show one of four different covers.
- By placing the mouse over "Strong Bad Email" and holding it there for a short while, you will see Strong Bad sitting at The Tandy soundlessly checking his email, receiving the following message: "Dear Strong Bad, I drank too much salty plum soda. -Stu" to which Strong Bad replies "No such thing, Stu. No such thing."
Fun Facts
Trivia
- The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004 and divided all the toons into eight categories. You can see the old version here.

Goofs
- When Strong Bad does his silent email he only types in "strongbad_email". He forgets the ".exe" yet it still works.
- If viewing the .swf of the silent Strong Bad Email, then the buttons on the Tandy will change the contrast. If viewing it in the menu, then the buttons are clickable, but they do nothing.
