Nearly every [[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|computer]] that [[Strong Bad]] has owned has '''malfunctioned''' at some point, and they have done so in some famously tragic ways, most often with a Flagrant System Error or by exploding (the latter ending the computer's run to be replaced by a newer, better, but [[Strong Bad's Technology|still obsolete]] version).

==System Errors==

The '''System Error''' screen appears whenever Strong Bad's computer crashes. It is an obvious reference to the [[Wikipedia:Blue screen of death|blue screen of death]] that appears on Windows computers.

==Strong Bad's Computers Exploding==
+
-
[[Image:sbemail33.PNG|thumb|YOUR TANDY A SPLODE]]
+
-
Some of Strong Bad's Computers are also known to [[Explosions|explode]] spontaneously. Probably the most famous of these explosions was the first explosion of the [[Tandy 400]], which was later fixed (though it still had some malfunctions, such as deleting emails he wanted saved, and vice versa).

===Appearances===

-
*Email [[gimmicks]] ([[Tandy]]; this is shown again in a flashback in [[personal favorites]] and [[hremail3184]])
+
-
*Email [[invisibility]] (Tandy; not in the original, but shown as a flashback in hremail3184)
+
-
*Email [[virus]] (Compy; not in the original, but shown in a flashback in hremail3184)

-
*[[Biz Cas Fri 3]] (Corpy NT6, puppet style)

*Email [[retirement]] (Tandy; Compy, while in [[Strong Mad]]'s mouth)
+
-
*Email [[hremail3184]] ([[Lappy]]; this was not technically a malfunction)

-
==Miscellaneous Malfunctions==
+
-
[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|WAAGH! That is not a small number! That is a ''BIG'' number!]]
+
-
Strong Bad's computers often have various malfunctions, sometimes involving [[gimmicks|explosions]] or [[The Virus|viruses]].
+
-
 
+
-
===Appearances===
+
-
*Email [[sisters]] &mdash; The Tandy spontaneously deletes Strong Bad's email, then saves another email when Strong Bad tries to delete it.
+
-
*Email [[virus]] &mdash; The Compy refuses to delete the virus email, reports more than 400,000 viruses, then blue-screens before the contents of the screen pour onto the carpet.
+
-
 
+
-
==The Paper==
+
-
Following 172 emails of service, [[The Paper]] and its printer fell from an [[Hammerspace|unknown location]] above Strong Bad, breaking it. After a few moments of reminiscing, Strong Bad burned the paper, in accordance with its last wishes. It was almost immediately replaced by an inkjet printer and the [[New Paper]]. The Paper came back in [[email thunder]] to beat up the New Paper, but since it got burned, its current fate is unknown. In [[hremail3184]], the Lappy's explosion destroyed one of the Papers, but it's unknown for sure which one.
