STRONG BAD: {singing} This e-mail is making fun of you.
subject: Bottom 10To Weak Bad
From someone stronger than you
What is your bottom 10?
Oh, this guy made tons of typos. He forgot this, he forgot this, {changes "Weak Bad" to "Strong Bad the good dancer"}, they got this wrong. {changes "Someone stronger than you" to "Someone who is a girl"}
Oh, Simone! You seem like a really nice girl, so I'll answer your question relatively free of charge. "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" is as follows:
{cut to Strong Badia. The "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" Logo flys in from the top of the screen.}
STRONG BAD: Number 10 is easy. Dry T-Shirt Contests. {a Dry T-Shirt contest flyer flys in from the top.} You'll never find a more degrading contest or a larger waste of not water. {the flyer flies away} Creeping in at Numbah 9 is that horrible painting in Strong Mad's Cloest that's been in there since we were little. {dramatic music starts playing, and we cut to the door of Strong Mad's cloest. Strong Bad is there, opening it.}
HORRIBLE PAINTING: Come on in here.
{Strong Bad screams and closes the door. He begins prancing around, speaking gibberish. Cut back to Strong Badia.}
STRONG BAD: Incidentally, the jibblies currently occupy Slot #11 in the bottom 10. Numbah 8 is the one you should always pay attention to: E-mails with more than one "Fwd:" or "Re:" in the Subject line.
{Cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is preparing to answer an e-mail.}
STRONG BAD: Back away y'all, so I can answer e-mail.
{Strong Bad presses enter, and the e-mail appears. However, the subject line fills up most of the screen and scrolls down for a good 15 seconds.}
STRONG BAD: Ugh. Let me guess. "It's true! You saw it on the news!" Or "Hey, it was crazy, but it was worth a shot!"
{Cut back to the Field.}
STRONG BAD: Yeah, shot in the face, maybe. Now, seven is something that's been going on for way too long. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food.
{An add for Fluffy Puff Marshmallows appears.}
MARSHIE: Hey all! Guess who's birthday it is! {a question mark appears} Mine! {the lights suddenly go out, and Marshie makes an odd face. A miniature Marshie walks onto the screen, making the same noise that Homsar does when he is walking.}
MINI-MARSHIE: Sorry, Marshie, but it's my birthday. I'm 1 years old. My name is Nibbles, the new Fluffy Puff Marshmallows bitsized-
ANNOUNCER: All-new Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers for new-born type babies, or scalding hot chocolate with no mouth strain. Fluffy Puff Nibblers!.
NIBBLES: I need some ear-plugs too. {Marshie flys onto the screen.}
MARSHIE: Get out of here, you little runt! {the commercial suddenly pauses, and PAUSE appears on the bottom-left corner of the screen.
{Cut back to the field.}
STRONG BAD: And Number 6 is, uh, the Foul Stench of Wet The Cheat.
{Cut to The Field. The Cheat is standing there, soaked. Next to him, is a ladder, a cup, and a sign that says "HIGH DIVES - 5 bucks." Cut back to Strong Badia.}}'
STRONG BAD: And number 5, {music starts playing}, um... not pigeons. {a pigeon starts cooing.} They eat breadcrumbs. They craps on people. Funny stuff. NUMBER 4! There was this one time where I had to hug a tree.
{Cut to the field. Strong Bad and Homestar are there, and Strong Bad is hugging a tree.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Keep on huggin' it.
STRONG BAD: How did you get me to do this in the first place?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hug it! Hug it!
STRONG BAD: And why do I continue to do it?
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Keep on huggin' it. Hug it down.
STRONG BAD: I don't even like this tree that much.
{Cut back to Strong Badia.}
STRONG BAD: Ooh, now we're getting to some good ones. Number 3 is the ridiculous trend of giving Chocolate desserts dangerous names. You know, like, Chocolardiac Arrest. {a picture of Chocolardiac Arrest appears.}
WOMAN: Oh, that looks sinful.
STRONG BAD: Or... THIS BROWNIE MIGHT KILL YOU. {a picture of said brownie appears.}
WOMAN: Oh, this is so rich.
STRONG BAD: Or, quite possible the least appetizing name of all time... Chocozuma's Revenge! {a picture of Chocozuma's Revenge appears.}
WOMAN: This is all fat-free, right?
STRONG BAD: Shut up, lady! Sliding in at number two are songs that try to pass off la-la's na-na's and doot-do's as legitimate lyrics.

Fun Facts
Inside References
- The easter egg is a reference to all those e-mails with easter eggs that occur after waiting for a few seconds.
- The Marshie commercial pausing at the end is a reference to the character videos.
- The mouth in the marshmallow eating diagram is from english paper.
- Homestar's butt dance is from his character video.
- Strong Bad hugging a tree, by demand of Homestar, is a reference to army.
Real World References
- Chocozuma's Revenge is a reference to Montezuma's Revenge, known today as travelers' illness. It was first coined during the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs in 1519-1520. The debilitating diarrhea that the conquistadors' troops suffered in the Central American jungles was attributed to the force of the deposed Aztec ruler, Montezuma. A ride at Knotts Berry Farm uses the same font as Chocozuma's or it's "Montezuma's revenge" ride.
- Limozeen's bizarre song "Feed the Childrens" is mocking Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean," when Robert Plant uses a very similar singing style at around 2:00 into the song.
