STRONG BAD: Hello, everybody! This week it's time for some spring cleaning. Ready? Go!
Dear Strong Bad,
Why do you hate Homestar so much? He seems
like a nice guy to me.
Caitlyn
STRONG BAD: Oh, what a good question! Let me think about how I should answer that...
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: {simultaneously} DELETED! Ah ha ha, that felt great. What's next?
Do you have a secret crush with marzipan?
steve
sterling, VA
{Strong Bad pronounces VA as "Vah"}
STRONG BAD: Ah, now this question is definitely worth my time and consideration—
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: {simultaneously} DELETED! Uh ho ho, this is getting good!
Dear Strong Bad,
How do you type with boxing gloves on?
Mike,
Bend Oregon
{Strong Bad pronounces Oregon as "Ora-gawn"}
STRONG BAD: Oh, that's a new one. No way do I get this freaking question all the time. I suppose I'll probably answer it right now—
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: {simultaneously} DELETED! {laughing} Oh, who's next man?
Dear Strong Bad,
Are you made of crap? Did you invent the word crap?
Where did the word crap come from?
Crapfully crapfully,
Chad
STRONG BAD: Oh, I'll totally answer this one because apparently the only thing I'm concerned with is the word crap—
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: {simultaneously} DELETED!! Oh, I'm on a roll!
Strong Bad,
Your last email was pathetic. I was disappointed.
Come on, you can do better than that! This is like
the highlight of my week.
Suprised at your lack of humor,
Sue
{Instead of saying "Sue", he says and types "DELETED!".}
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: Ahhh! I feel so cleansed. So fresh and so clean, clean. Okay, so until next time, ain't nobody dope as me.
{The Paper comes down.}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- Sue, who notes that last week's email was "pathetic," was likely referring to tape-leg, which is sequentially the previous Strong Bad email.
Trivia
- This is the another instance where Strong Bad checks multiple emails.
- This is the first email where the screen flashes DELETED!! when Strong Bad deletes something.
- This is the first appearance of a "How do you type with boxing gloves on?" email, although he implies that he gets this email all the time.
- This is the last email where The Paper reads simply, "Click here to e-mail strong bad."
Remarks
- The page title reads "Mandy 400!!" instead of "Tandy 400!!!" in this email.
Goofs
- When Strong Bad laughs after deleting each email, the reflection of his face on his computer moves, but his actual head doesn't.
- However, ignoring the facial movements, the reflection of the head and the actual head are in fact synced.
Inside References
- Strong Bad's reaction to Chad's going overboard with the word "crap" is the first sign of his displeasure with Crapfully Yours-style signatures.
Real-World References
- The last few lines are from a song by OutKast called, "So Fresh, So Clean"; that's why Strong Bad said "clean" twice. The song's chorus goes Ain't nobody dope as me, I'm dressed so fresh so clean (so fresh and so clean, clean).
