Strong Bad's Computers Exploding

YOUR TANDY A SPLODE

Some of Strong Bad's Computers are also known to 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

Miscellaneous Malfunctions

WAAGH! That is not a small number! That is a BIG number!

Strong Bad's computers often have various malfunctions, sometimes involving explosions or viruses.

Appearances

  • Email sisters — The Tandy spontaneously deletes Strong Bad's email, then saves another email when Strong Bad tries to delete it.
  • Email virus — 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 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.
