Strong Bad's age, protected by a sect of closely guarded monks high atop the Coches Mountains.

Although the ages of the characters are left intentionally ambiguous, there are some indications of their ages.

Contents

Coach Z and Bubs

  • Strong Bad often refers to them as "old men" (narrator).
  • Coach Z refers to himself as "an old man" (caffeine).
  • Strong Bad calls Bubs "Old Man Bubs" (isp).
  • Coach Z's visage is featured on an ornament from 1974 (what I want).

Homestar Runner

  • Homestar recalls getting 22 butt pats from Coach Z in 1984 (trading cards), so he must have been alive at that time.

Marzipan

  • In the Lil' Strong Bad video in stand-up, Coach Z mentions "Little Marzipan", implying that Marzipan and Strong Bad are around the same age.

Strong Bad

  • Strong Bad is older than Strong Sad (depressio; different town) but younger than Strong Mad (the facts).
  • Strong Bad and Strong Sad were kids at the same time, so they are probably close in age (The Secrets That I Keep).
  • In the email stand-up, Lil' Strong Bad is shown to be younger than Coach Z.
  • Since Strong Bad often refers to doing things in 1987, such as checking what Japanese cartoons are called (TrogdorCon '97), he was presumably born before this.
    • Yet, in 2 years, he does not look that much older than he does today, even though the picture dates from 1987.
  • The email looking old is about Strong Bad's attempts to stay relevant to a younger audience. He never states his exact age however.

Strong Mad

Strong Sad

  • Strong Sad is the youngest of The Brothers Strong.

The King of Town

  • In the email space program, The King of Town claims to be "in [his] sixties".

The Teen Girl Squad

  • In Issue 5, Cheerleader claims that they are in college, while So And So claims that they are in 8th grade. It is implied that Cheerleader is lying.
  • In Issue 3, Strong Bad states that the Teen Girl Squad are between the ages of 13 and 19.
  • In Issue 9, What's Her Face claims to have had her driver's license for over a year. Given that American teenagers get their license around age 16, this would put What's Her Face around the age of 17.

Trogdor and Stinkoman

  • As seen in Happy Trogday, Trogdor's birthday is the day that dragon debuted (January 13, 2003), making him 21 years old. Likewise, Stinkoman's birthday is the day that japanese cartoon debuted (January 6, 2003), possibly making him 21 years old.
