"I sure did."

Caleb Rentpayer is a TV show that Strong Bad loves. It was first overheard in the Strong Bad Email "secret recipes," as it was being watched by The King of Town, but had a more prominent role in Bug In Mouth Disease. It features the trials and tribulations of Caleb, a renegade who somehow acquires a lot of money, and his butler, Tucksworth. Caleb is normally very mean to Tucksworth.

In a whodunit cliffhanger for which Strong Bad duct taped his head to the TV, it was revealed that Homestar Runner had shot Caleb, a parody of the famous Dallas episode "Who Shot J.R.?"

The show is likely a parody of soap operas, which often have befuddled dialogues and odd musical scores to go along with them.

Caleb's and Tucksworth's conversations usually involve Tucksworth telling Caleb he can't do something, but Caleb says he will do it anyway. For example:

Tucksworth: Caleb! You can marry a guitar!

Caleb: I can try!

or

Tuckworth: Caleb! Are you making a tiny tent out of my jacket?

Caleb: I am now!
