Strong Bad checks his email.

Strong Bad Email, frequently shortened to sbemail, was originally a small feature in which Strong Bad would answer a fan-sent email and commonly mock the spelling and grammar of those who wrote to him. The animations were initially brief, but gradually the responses grew to establish numerous inside jokes, running gags, and catch phrases, as well as spin-offs, such as Trogdor, Teen Girl Squad, 20X6, Strong Badia, Hremails, the minor character Senor Cardgage, and even Homsar, one of the main characters. A typical Strong Bad Email includes numerous Easter eggs and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen. Many Strong Bad Emails, such as japanese cartoon, video games, and theme song, are satirical views of particular aspects of popular culture.

Introduced in 2001, Strong Bad Email has historically been the most frequently updated feature of homestarrunner.com, with a new email being added to the menu nearly every Monday. However, the series was put on hiatus from September 2008 to June 2009. The Brothers Chaps stated in interviews that they wanted to focus on other characters and vary their output.^[1] Email 200 just happened to be a round number at which to take a break.^[2] In October 2009, Strong Bad Email went on another hiatus, which lasted until April 1, 2015, and the next released email after that was almost two-and-a-half years later. More than 5 years passed between the release of videography and sbemail 206, ending the longest hiatus of sbemails of 2,004 days.

Milestones

Whenever Strong Bad reaches an email milestone, such as 100 or 200, the email will be special or at least some note will be taken. Thus far, five emails have been considered milestones.

50. 50 emails — Strong Bad checks 50 emails (or attempts to) in honor of it being his 50th email check.
100. flashback — The email is done in "wiiidescreeeen". Marzipan, Senor Cardgage, Old Timey Strong Bad, and Limozeen congratulate him on his 100th email. Upon the Compy indicating that he has checked 100 emails with a special screen, Strong Bad says "email" 100 times. Homestar says "Happy 100th birthday, Strong Bad".
125. rock opera — Strong Bad performs a rock opera featuring scenes and at least one word from all of Strong Bad's previous emails.
150. alternate universe — Strong Bad goes into many alternate universes featuring alternate versions of himself, which at the end accompany him in a supergroup ballad. Called the "sesquicentennemail".
200. email thunder — The email song is a grand fanfare written by They Might Be Giants and sung by The Poopsmith. The email also ends with a screen listing the first 200 emails.

Frequently, a "teaser" toon is released a week before a milestone email in order to play off the anticipation for the upcoming milestone. The teaser toons so far have been Not the 100th Email!!! (teasing viewers hoping to view email 100 before it was released); Sbemail 150?!? (in which Strong Sad tries to convince Strong Bad to check email 150 and writes a proposed storyboard for it); Place Ya Bets! (in which the Deleteheads speculate on what will happen in email 200); and Page Load Error (in which the Deleteheads camp out at the sbemail200.html URL).

Fun Facts

Trivia

Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 237 emails as of the next april fools thing.
As of videography, it would take 10 hours, 9 minutes, 34 seconds to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, as of being mean, it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds.
As of the movies, Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
During the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:

Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid.
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough,
I'll answer it on the site.
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright.
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it.
Click Here to see us in action!
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes.
Watch me while I'm awesome,
Strong Bad

The link in the automated response leads to the Email Processing Room.

At Flashforward 2006, The Brothers Chaps gave a list of five things not to email Strong Bad about. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later radio interview.
butt IQ and CGNU are the only onsite emails with capital letters in their titles. Prior to the post-Flash site update, 3 Wishes and what I want did as well, as shown here.
Prior to the post-Flash site update, some emails had different URLs instead of sbemail#.html.
Occasionally, there is a lengthy gap between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in army, geddup noise, redesign, hremail 3184, and sbemail 206.
Email #22, sb_email 22, was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title "the lost email" right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
Email #208, the next april fools thing, was originally hidden inside a holiday toon, and wasn't listed on the Strong Bad Email menu until the post-Flash site update on December 31, 2020.

Remarks

Two emails have been checked by someone other than Strong Bad, but count as Strong Bad Emails anyway: mile was made up and animated by The Cheat, and anything was checked by Homestar Runner.
When Strong Bad's head moves, his mask protrudes the top of his head.

 ==Fun Facts==
 ===Trivia===
-*The Tandy 400 vacation menu is the last surviving Tandy menu to still be hosted on the website.
+*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 237 <!--PLEASE NOTE: This number takes into account each individual email Strong Bad has checked.  In some Strong Bad Emails he checks more than one.-->emails as of [[the next april fools thing]].
-*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy, Corpy or Compé-era emails.
-*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
-*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 235 <!--PLEASE NOTE: This number takes into account each individual email Strong Bad has checked.  In some Strong Bad Emails he checks more than one.-->emails as of [[sbemail206]].
 *As of [[videography]], it would take 10 hours, 9 minutes, 34 seconds <!--409930 frames plus 13 minutes and 13 seconds from the DVDs--> to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, as of [[being mean]], it would take 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 37 seconds. <!--447922 frames plus 13 minutes and 30 seconds from the DVDs-->
-*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
 *As of [[the movies]], Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
-*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
+*During the Tandy 400 era (at least until July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:

-The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
+*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].  Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
-*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[Secret_Pages_XML_Source#Random_Toon_XML_File|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
+*[[butt IQ]] and [[CGNU]] are the only onsite emails with capital letters in their titles. Prior to the [[post-Flash site update]], [[3 Wishes]] and [[what I want]] did as well, as shown here.
-*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], [[redesign]], [[hremail3184]], and [[sbemail206]].
+*Prior to the post-Flash site update, some emails had [[Irregular Strong Bad Email URLs|different URLs]] instead of ''sbemail#.html''.

+*Email #22, [[sb_email 22]], was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title "the lost email" right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
-*Holding down the left mouse button and the tab key at the same time caused the area you pressed to go white (only for Lappy-era emails). You can move the mouse in the area without the original spot going away; however, if you leave the original area, the spot goes away (you can also create new dots, as long as they are partly overlapping another dot).
+*Email #208, [[the next april fools thing]], was originally hidden inside a holiday toon, and wasn't listed on the [[Strong Bad Email menu]] until the post-Flash site update on December 31, 2020.
-*Some emails have [[Irregular Strong Bad Email URLs|different URLs]] instead of ''sbemail#.html''.
 ===Remarks===
-*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].  Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]].
+*Two emails have been checked by someone other than Strong Bad, but count as Strong Bad Emails anyway: [[mile]] was made up and animated by [[The Cheat]], and [[anything]] was checked by [[Homestar Runner]].
-*During most emails, the back of Strong Bad's head is visible when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, his head is not seen at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
+*When Strong Bad's head moves, his mask protrudes the top of his head.<!--on the menu, or in emails?-->
-*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], and [[retirement|retirement B]] after the Lappy was kidnapped, and after [[hremail3184]] when the Lappy was destroyed, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu. It is still updated to include the post-Lappy era emails.
-*Although the Compé was compressed into the Lappier, the Compé was still the featured computer on the menu and in Strong Bad's scroll button song until the site update on December 31, 2020.
-*[[The Next April Fools Thing]] was originally hidden inside a holiday toon, and wasn't listed on the email menu until the site update on December 31, 2020.
-*If the random.bat button on the Lappy was clicked after [[hremail3184]] was released, Strong Bad would still say the things during the random email selection even though he was absent.
-*The Strong Bad Email menu of the Corpy NT6 lacked a random button; however, Strong Bad sung his lines for selecting a random email and a random email would be selected by using a Flash seekbar.
-*The Compé menu lacked a random button from its introduction until August 31, 2009, when a new scroll button song was also released. During this time, right clicking and using the Play button would give the random button effect, but the email that was selected would be displayed in the Lappy's font.
-*The Compé Email menu zooms in before Strong Bad finishes double-clicking it.
-*The Compé Email menu's "go rando!" button is clickable, even when zooming in.
-*When Strong Bad's head moves, his mask protrudes the top of his head.
-*With the October 5, 2009 update, a link to the [[Yahoo Store]] page where [[Store CD/DVDs|DVDs of the emails]] could be purchased was added on a [[sticky note]]. The Yahoo Store was later retired, and for a time the link brought up a Yahoo error page. The sticky note was subsequently removed.
-*As of the December 31, 2020 update:
-**The computer begins as the Lappier. Clicking on the computer's logo at the bottom-left corner of the monitor will switch the computer (including the menu theme) in the following order: Lappier → Compé → Lappy 486 → Compy 386 → Tandy 400. Continuing to click repeats the cycle indefinitely.
-**The Tandy 400 Contrast buttons work again.
-**Clicking on the title of an email or using the "go rando" button now brings up a short description of the selected email, rather than automatically playing it.
-**The email menu now includes clickable links to watch either the original flash version, or the YouTube version. (Note: As of January 2021, not all sbemails are available to watch through the official Homestar Runner YouTube Channel.)
-**Occasionally, Strong Bad will briefly comment on the user's selected sbemail. This works even when using the "go rando" option.
