No. of words per e-mail?

Hmm... We should make a page that says how many words there are on the sender's email... Does anyone agree? Sp0ng3b0b 10:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how that would be useful information... Loafing 10:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Main Story Arc

Just wondering if we should start compiling a main story arc page thing for the strong bad e-mails. Not all of the e-mails of course are a part of the main story arc for the strong bad e-mails. Though, it could take some time before such a thing is compiled. There are also other arcs as well (I believe), but I wouldn't know what to name them. ColdReactive

...What main story arc? --Belthazar 20:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Let's see here... lappy getting stolen, paper dying-ish, virus email, tandy exploding, etc. ColdReactive

Those are all different stories and/or story arcs, not a main one. Loafing 00:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

That and if anything, they're more of a running gag than a story arc. --Belthazar 01:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Finished

Hey guys, um, I think TBC are finished with sbemails. I have two reasons: A. They said in the email thunder commentary that they were done B. I just tried to email strong bad, and it said that the address was dead, like, they closed the e-mail account. So should we put that on the page? --Crudely Drawn Cupcake 01:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I sent him something and it made it through. BBG 01:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Seconded, no weird errors. Are you sure you typed the email address correctly? — Defender1031*Talk 01:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I just clicked on the paper at the end, and also, what about the whole commentary thing?--Crudely Drawn Cupcake 02:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Then it means your browser isn't set up for the link from the paper to work, and i still hold the opinion that the commentary is them messing with us. But it's really pointless to discuss hre anyway, as it has no bearing on the page. If they make more, we'll report it, if they give a sure sign that they're over, we'll report that. Nothing to do in the meantime, and any speculation is pretty much pointless. — Defender1031*Talk 02:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Is it speculation if TGITC say it? I mean TBC not TGITC. --Blow Up the Ocean 01:17, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps? --Blow Up the Ocean

If they actually officially announce that they're over with the Sbemails, then I think it'll certainly be notable to post. However, what they said on the commentary may or may not be true, considering that TBC are rather evil in that they like to mess with our heads all the time. As such, it isn't notable enough to be put on the page. If you guys want to continue speculating, you may want to take it over to the forum, where your comments will be better received. —Guard Duck ^talk 05:42, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Do you post on the forum? --Blow Up the Ocean 05:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

We're now coming up on 6 months since the last sbemail. My opinion is, if the 23rd of March comes and goes with no sbemail, the page should change to the past tense. --Cydonos 20:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

No. It is not our decision to officially declare the end of Strong Bad Emails. When TBC themselves announce that they're not going to do anymore emails during a public appearance or interview (the email thunder commentary does NOT count), only then do we change the page to the past tense. – The Chort 20:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Why does the commentray not count? What law are you citing? SBEmails are over, except for specials and whatnot. I am calling it. Remember that you read it here. 98.216.8.68 12:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

You're calling it? You're hardly the first. The reason we don't give the commentary much weight is that it's clear that they hadn't discussed it ahead of time, and they don't take their own commentaries very seriously. They've been known to say things simply for the shock or humor value. — It's dot com 14:42, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, there's a "Best of sbemails" DVD now, and the "Best of X" is usually only after show or franchise ends, plus the "Sbemailiraization" seems to explain why they won't be doing sbemails anymore! -A logged-out Waferman 71.190.163.41 19:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

We know all of this, but until they announce that emails are over in a serious interview or on the website, we're not going to declare anything as being official. — It's dot com 21:11, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

in an easteregg on email thunder that says that the poopsmith will break his silence every 200 sbemails. im not sure, but that could be an evidence of more sbemails! --Safariventureman 19:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

pop culture satire?

In the intro we list 3 emails that satirize pop culture, japanese cartoon, action figure, and isp. The anime satire's pretty solid, but I dunno how prominent action figures and bandwidth are in current pop culture. Should we consider replacing those examples with ones that satirize even more prominent aspects of pop culture? (I dunno what they'd be, too lazy to look right now.) -132.183.151.130 22:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Typing

I might never understand how Strong Bad types so fast. Especially with boxing gloves on! Fingerface 21:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
