-
*In both this email and [[invisibility]], Homestar was taken by surprise. Conversely, Homestar beat up Strong Bad in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. However, the older cartoon has been said by The Brothers Chaps to show characters doing things that they would never do in their current state; Strong Bad's dominance is probably the norm.

*At a length of just three letters, this email is tied with [[isp]] as the email with the shortest title.

*The table on which Strong Bad's computer sits has a new design. The legs are not angled anymore, and the outline of the table is colored.

*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Homestar shows off his tricked out hat instead of Strong Bad talking about his non-existent car."

*Getting two jillion emails every two jillion seconds equates to getting an average of one email per second, because any nonzero finite number divided by itself (even made-up numbers like a jillion) is one.

*Strong Sad states that a "jillion is not a real unit of measure". However, Strong Bad uses "a jillion" as a ''number'', not as a {{w|Unit of measurement|unit of measure}}.

-
*After Strong Bad punches Homestar, the screen on the Compy is blank, even though Strong Bad was never shown clearing it.
+
*Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his [[Left Handedness|left hand]] (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word ''DELETED'' would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar.
-
*Homestar incorrectly refers to the glow under his hat as "ground effects". The glow is actually called underglow. {{w|Ground effect (cars)|Ground effect}}s are parts of a car that extend to the ground, encircling the bottom of the vehicle. They are designed to keep airflow out from under the car and thus improve {{wp|downforce}}.
+
**It also may be more evidence to the fact that Strong Bad could be ambidextrous.

*After Strong Bad punches Homestar, the screen on the Compy is blank, even though Strong Bad never cleared it.
*Even though Strong Bad punches Homestar under the chin, ''DELETED'' appears across Homestar's eyes.

*In Homestar's Easter egg, Homestar blinks despite being knocked out, and when he does so, the X's on his eyes and some of his face get distorted and go back again.
+
*After the ''Nerdular Nerdence'' egg, you can hear the beginning of the Homestar egg just before the scene cuts back to the computer. This is due to the fact that the <code>gotoAndStop()</code> command is being performed later than it should be.
