Strong Bad Clock
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Strong Bad Clock is a clock available in the Downloads section of the site. It features an LCD Strong Bad, who speaks your computer's time in your choice of one of three voices:
- Plain
- Angry
- Soothing
You can also set up an alarm so Strong Bad can alert you so you don't miss any appointments.
This download was made available after the email caper, where Homestar wonders what time it is and guesses that it is three in the afternoon. It is quite possible that The Brothers Chaps wanted Homestar to be able to determine the current time and use that in the email dialog, but were limited by time and technology. The next step was to have this clock download. This download is Windows only, however you can use the website's version, which is not a standalone program, on a Mac.

Fun Facts
- The beginning screen reads
Strong Bad's Time Machine (Clock) This fantastic new application will have Strong Bad telling you the time anytime you want. And sometimes when you don't!! Even set an alarm so you won't miss any of those made up meetings!!
- Strong Bad really will say the time on his own.
- However, this can't really be used to wake you up, as whether he is set to or not, he will go off every half-hour. Also, the alarm notification doesn't loop, so it only plays once and is then silent.
