Transcript

STRONG BAD: {singing} I got an email. I got an awesome email. {stops singing}

STRONG BAD: Geez, I didn't need your freaking life story, man. Augh, {typing} That's an easy one Anya. 100 Hot Girfriends. No question. I'd wish for 100 hot Girfriends. Here, check it out.

{Strong Bad bends to the desk and starts drawing. He draws a picture of himself with Hot Girls and holds the paper up to show it}

STRONG BAD: Look at how popular I would be, man. So majestic, yet so wicked awesome. Oh man, that would be great.

{He puts away the picture of himself with Hot Girls.}

STRONG BAD: Okay you guys, so until next week, it's not required that you sign your email, "Crapfully yours," or, "With a bunch of crap," or, "Crap in the times," or, "Crap is so great," "Everything is crap," "My middle name is Crapperson." You know, you could just put, "Sincerely"... or, "Yours truly," is another good one. Come on, guys. I'll still read them.

{The Paper comes down.}

{He picks up the picture of himself with Hot Girls again.}


{He puts away the picture and clears his throat.}

Fun Facts

Trivia

Remarks

  • The title of this email is one of only two to contain a word with an initial capital letter as part of a lowercase word, the other being what I want. (CGNU and butt IQ also contain capital letters, but in those cases they are part of an initialism.)
  • The last line appears to be a separate audio file (the Flash file pauses shortly after playing it).
  • Strong Bad produces the pencil and paper out of nowhere.

Goofs

  • When Strong Bad draws the picture of himself with horns, the pencil doesn't reflect on the screen.
  • When Strong Bad holds up the drawing of himself with horns, you can still click the contrast buttons through his boxing gloves.
  • The enter key is not heard being hit when Strong Bad clears the screen for the first time.
  • Even though Strong Bad used a pencil to draw himself with horns, the picture seems to be done with dark blue ink, suggesting a ball-point pen.

Inside References

  • This is the first (but far from last) time that Strong Bad objects to getting "crappy" closings in his emails.
  • This email has an instance of Names ending in -erson.

Real-World References

  • The intro song is a reference to a line in Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me", "I had a dream, I had an awesome dream."
  • The reference to being a heavy metal band's mascot who has battles with the band on stage is a reference to Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie. A tradition at Iron Maiden concerts is for a man in a giant Eddie costume on stilts to come on-stage mid show and appear to battle with the band members.
