'''Strong Bad Email''', frequently shortened to '''sbemail''', was originally a small feature in which [[Strong Bad]] would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. The animations were initially brief, but gradually the responses grew to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], and [[running gags]] and catchphrases, as well as [[Strong Bad Email Spin-offs|spin-offs]], like [[20X6]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[Hremails]], [[Trogdor]], and even the main character [[Homsar]]. A typical Strong Bad Email includes numerous [[Easter egg]]s and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as [[japanese cartoon]], [[video games]], and [[theme song]]<!-- This need not be a complete list, three examples are fine. -->, are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

Introduced in 2001, Strong Bad Email has historically been the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]], but was put on hiatus from September 2008 to June 2009. [[The Brothers Chaps]] stated in interviews that they wanted to focus on other characters and vary their output.<span class="plainlinks"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em">[http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&category2=&article_no=3983&page=1]</sup></span> Email 200 just happened to be a round number at which to take a break.<span class="plainlinks"><sup style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em">[http://omgnintendo.blogfaction.com/article/108144/one-year-of-wiiware-matt-and-mike-chapman-on-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people/]</sup></span>  The emails returned starting in June 2009.

==Milestones==
 
-
Whenever Strong Bad reaches an email milestone, such as 100 or 200, the email will be special or at least some note will be taken. Thus far, five emails have been considered milestones.
 
-
 
-
*50. [[50 emails]] &mdash; Strong Bad checks 50 emails (or attempts to) in honor of it being his 50th email check.
 
-
*100. [[flashback]] &mdash; The email is done in widescreen. [[Marzipan]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Old Timey Strong Bad]], and [[Limozeen]] congratulate him on his 100th email. Upon the Compy indicating that he has checked 100 emails with a special screen, Strong Bad says "email" 100 times. [[Homestar]] says "Happy 100th birthday, Strong Bad".
 
-
*125. [[rock opera]] &mdash; features scenes and at least one word from all of Strong Bad's emails.
 
-
*150. [[alternate universe]] &mdash; Strong Bad goes into many alternate universes featuring alternate versions of himself, which at the end accompany him in a supergroup ballad. Called the "sesquicentennemail".
 
-
*200. [[email thunder]] &mdash; The email song is a grand fanfare written by [[They Might Be Giants]] and sung by [[The Poopsmith]]. The email also ends with a screen listing all of the emails to date.
 
-
 
-
Frequently, a "teaser" toon is released a week before a milestone email in order to play off the anticipation for the upcoming milestone. The teaser toons so far have been [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (teasing viewers hoping to view email 100 before it was released); [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (in which Strong Sad tries to convince Strong Bad to check email 150 and writes a proposed storyboard for it); [[Place ya bets!]] (in which [[the Deleteheads]] speculate on what will happen in email 200); and [[Page Load Error]] (in which the Deleteheads camp out at the sbemail200.html URL).
 
-
 
-
==Fun Facts==
 
-
===Trivia===
 
-
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy-era emails.
 
-
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
 
-
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 230 <!--PLEASE NOTE: This number takes into account each individual email Strong Bad has checked.  In some Strong Bad Emails he checks more than one.-->emails as of [[hremail3184]].
 
-
*<!--AS OF: being mean-->It would take 9 hours, 42 minutes, and 34 seconds <!--409930 frames plus 13 minutes and 13 seconds from the DVDs--> to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds. <!--447922 frames plus 13 minutes and 30 seconds from the DVDs-->
 
-
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
 
-
*<!--AS OF: the movies-->Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
 
-
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
 
-
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid.<br>
 
-
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough,<br>
 
-
I'll answer it on the site.<br>
 
-
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright.<br>
 
-
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it.<br>
 
-
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action!<br>
 
-
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes.<br>
 
-
 
-
Watch me while I'm awesome,<br>
 
-
Strong Bad</blockquote>
 
-
 
-
The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
 
-
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[Secret_Pages_XML_Source#Random_Toon_XML_File|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
 
-
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], and [[redesign]].
 
-
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
 
-
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.
 
-
 
-
===Remarks===
 
-
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].  Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later  [[Late Nite  JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
 
-
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
 
-
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], [[retirement|retirement B]] after when the Lappy was kidnapped, and after [[hremail3184]] when the Lappy is destroyed, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.
