STRONG BAD: It's the e-mail, the e-mail, what what, the e-mail.
{reading}
Hey Strong Bad, do you like techno at all? If so, what kind. Silent J
STRONG BAD: Huh... very clever. {typing} Well, its not really my style, but I heard a techno song one time that went like... {stops typing and mimicks a techno beat} doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom {resumes typing} And then this other part came in, and it was like... (stops typing again, the original beat is heard along with this new part} doodle-a-doom doodle-a-doom doodle-a-doom doodle-a-doom {resumes typing} And then there's always some kinda high pitched noise, y'know? Or like a siren that's like... {stops typing again and another part is added to the song} DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE {resumes typing} And of course they have to put in the obligatory old movie quote from some sci-fi movie. It's like... {stops typing again, all the parts are there} The system is down! The system is down! The system is down! The system is down!
{The screen starts going dark and light again. We zoom out to see The Cheat at his lightswitch, turning it on and off while twirling a glowstick, raving to the techno piece. Strong Bad walks up to him.}
STRONG BAD: The Cheat is grounded! We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw lightswitch raves! Now let's go break open that glow-stick and pour it in Homestar Runner's Mountain Dew. {They both start walking off.} I heard they have to pump your stomach when you drink that stuff.
{The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- Click on The Cheat's lightswitch to listen to the music some more and see a flyer for a special event featuring that music.
- At the end, you're given the option to download the song for either windows or macintosh.
Fun Facts
- The telvision show "Survivor" may have made a reference to this email saying "Tree mail, tree mail, what what the tree mail."
- On the flyer to the lightswitch rave, "DJ from Full House" is a reference to the television show "Full House" where a character named "Donna Jo 'D.J./Deej' Margaret Tanner" was played by Candace Cameron Bure.
- The reason Strong Bad thought Silent J was a clever name? Obviously, one reason was because it could mean a j that doesn't make a sound in a word. The name could possibly be reference to the characters Jay and Silent Bob. Silent J is a cross between their names.
- The Cheat most likely has his own lightswitch on account of his size, and he can't reach Strongbad's lightswitch.
- if you zoom up on The Cheat's light switch when he is playing with lights it says "The Cheat" but when it shows it close up it says "The Cheat's Lightswitch"
