STRONG BAD: {singing} Checkin' my email, checkin' my email, checkin'-checkin'-checkin'-checkin' my email. {stops singing}
Dear Mr Bad,
How do you know if someone's butt is stupid?
I mean, is there like some kind of IQ test?
Crapfully yours,
Tyler
STRONG BAD: Oh, come on Tyler! Don't you remember your algebra, man? It's called the {typing} "Transitive Butt Property". {stops typing} And it clearly states that the "stupidity" of somebody's butt is greater than or equal to the "stupidity" of that person's head. {types "stupid (butt) ≥ stupid (head)"} So, take our friend Homestar Runner for instance; {Bad Graphics Homestar appears on the screen.} Look at his stupid head. {his head is labelled "stupid (head)"} Look at how stupid his head is. Okay, so you can easily infer from this that because he has such a stupid head, that easily his butt is going to be at least as stupid if not stupider. {his butt is labelled "stupid/stupider (butt)"} So there you have it.
Okay, so until next time, on a scale from one to awesome, I'm super great.
{The Paper comes down, reading "Click here to e-mail strong bad"}
Fun Facts
Trivia
- This is the first email ending with "Crapfully yours," or a variation thereof.
- The paper at the end is shorter in length than in the first two Strong Bad Emails (likely to prevent covering up the image of Homestar).
Remarks
- The real-world transitive property (of equality) is much harder to explain than the simple transitivity of identity postulate Strong Bad proposes here.
- Even though Strong Bad corrects/makes fun of peoples grammar, he uses the word "stupider", which isn't a word at all.
- The whole e-mail is a math lesson for all you algebra kiddies watching this.
Inside References
- The email was inspired by the song "You've got an Ugly & Stupid Butt" from Strong Bad Sings (which later made its way to the Strong Bad Sings CD).
Fast Forward
- The punk rock band The Reunion Show named one of their songs for their 2002 debut album "Kill Your Television" from this email. The name of the 9th song on the album is "On a Scale from One to Awesome (You're Pretty Great)".
