{reading}
Dear Strong Bad,
Respond to this E-Mail in the
funniest way ever.
From Sam
{he reads "From Sam" as if the whole phrase was the emailer's name}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Let's see here...I can tape this blank floppy disk to my head {he doesn't actually type "blank"} and start talking gibberish and acting like the crazy squeaky guy. LEEKO! LEEKO! LEEKO! I'm a squeaky guy! {jumps up on the table and starts dancing around} I got squeaky pants! Come check out my squeaky pants dance! Squee squaw squee squaw squee squaw {a bottle of ketchup falls from the ceiling into his hands and he starts pouring it over everything and hitting the keyboard with his foot, producing "WHOA!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!"} punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity! Aunt Ruthie! Aunt Ruthie! There's ketchup on the computer! Halzee-WHOOP!
{He leaps from the table backwards and starts spinning while bouncing around the floor on his head}
STRONG BAD: Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER! Ponk-REER!
{He runs up to Strong Sad and starts yelling rhyming gibberish at him.}
STRONG BAD: Jor Jee Jibbera Jaw! Huppidda Roopja Oop Jup Jaw! Ooka Oog
{Strong Sad begins talking over him.}
STRONG SAD: Quit that!
STRONG BAD: Ooka Reetoo Taw!
STRONG SAD: You're freakin' me out.
STRONG BAD: {pauses shortly, then continues} Eeckoo Ickoo Ickoo Slaw! Hooka Hoo Ha!
STRONG SAD: Did you take some of my pills again?
{Cut to Compy. Bubs and The Cheat are dipping fries in the ketchup poured over the computer.}
BUBS: You know what? You're right, The Cheat! This computer catsup is better than the regular kind! Or that purple kind.
{Strong Bad walks back in}
STRONG BAD: All right, all right. Clear outta here, you two! 'Cept for you, The Cheat. {The Cheat grumbles} You better start cleaning this mess up!
BUBS: What happened in here? Some type of ketchup bomb go off?
STRONG BAD: Nah, not really. I was answering an e-mail and dancing and acting like a squeaky guy and I started throwing ketchup everywhere.
BUBS: Oh. That's pretty cool.
{Strong Bad does a double-take behind him to make sure nobody's around.}
STRONG BAD: {sotto voce to Bubs} Hey, man, are ketchup bombs real?
BUBS: Not yet! {walks off}
STRONG BAD: {to the Cheat} Well? Aren't you gonna go get your 409 or Awesome Sauce or whatever you're gonna clean this up with? {The Cheat squeaks at him and starts heading off} Maybe a moist chamois? {tries a fry with the computer ketchup} Ooh! This computer ketchup is pretty good! Needs more RAM, though. Maybe a couple of megachips.
{The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- If you click on Strong Bad's face (not head) while he is spinning upside down (the floppy disk itself does not work), Homestar will come out to say something funny. It may take a few tries to get it, you have to be quite quick. It's easier to get it with the tab key and enter.
- {Homestar Runner walks in from the left. Strong Bad re-enters from the right, still bouncing on his head and spouting his gibberish.}
- HOMESTAR RUNNER: Um... Hi, Strong Bad. I was just stopping by to do something funny, but, um... I can see you don't need my help this week.
- {Strong Bad bounces off to the left while Homestar looks on.}
- At the very end you can click on a blob of ketchup near the left fries to see the ketchup bottle.
Fun Facts
Remarks
- This is the first time that we see how Strong Bad eats.
- Strong Sad is depressed by nature as part of his character, but here it is actually implied that he may be clinically depressed - thereby explaining the reference to his "pills".
Goofs
- The tape for the disk appears behind the text on the screen.
- the Quite Fancy 'Chup gets part of itself cut off near the top, if you look closely it ends in a straight line.
Glitches
- When Strong Bad tapes the floppy disk to his head, the contrast dial does not affect its reflection, nor does it affect the reflection of his hand.
Inside References
- The sounds Strong Bad makes when he is next to Strong Sad are very similar to the ones from his email song in big white face.
- Strong Bad typing in "stongbad_email.exe" is a reference to 50 emails, where one emailer called Strong Bad "Stong Bad".
- Strong Bad typing with his foot is similar to how he types with his head in sisters.
Real-World References
- Chamois is actually pronounced "Shammy." Strong Bad pronounces it "Sham-oyce," like it is spelled, in an attempt to rhyme with "moist."
- The Purple Ketchup Bubs mentions is a reference to Heinz's Funky Purple Ketchup.
- 409 is a reference to Formula 409, a household cleaner/degreaser manufactured by Clorox.
DVD Version
- The Homestar Easter egg is automatically enabled, so you don't have to do any clicking to access it.
- The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
Commentary Transcript
(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)
MIKE: So here's the commentary track... {laughs} Are we gonna do that kind of—
MATT: intro to all of them?
MIKE: I don't know.
MATT: As if they've just found this one one.
MIKE: {laughs} Well, maybe.
MATT: So welcome to commentary if you accidentally—
MIKE: Can you turn on the commentary throughout? And it'll automatically—
MATT: {overlapping} I think so, you just hit the "audio" button.
MIKE: {imitating newscaster} In case you've accidentally hit your "audio" button, you've just joined already in progress commentary track number eigh-ty...
MATT: Alright, sorry, I didn't know, let's start over.
MIKE: {overlapping} I'm j'st kidding. No, no, this is great, this is great. We have nothing cool that has happened yet.
{pause}
MATT: So "Leeko leeko leeko" is something Mike used to say when we'd uh, like, get when he'd get excited. And um, what game is in the thing there, right there? Oh, "Odell Lake." {Mike laughs} That was a great game for the old Apple II D that we played in school.
MIKE: Our cousin Jim used to say, "Fonkity fonkity."
MATT: Yeah, he'd hit himself in the head with a
MIKE AND MATT: whiffle-ball bat.
MIKE: And, uh, yeah. And he used to do that, too. {Matt laughs} He used to jump around on his head saying "pont-reer".
MATT: {overlapping} That's not true. That's not true.
MIKE: He's a very talented guy.
MATT: "Pont-reer" is just, uh, my generic, like uh, cartoon sound effect. It just seems like cartoons would just be like, "Pont-REER!" and then they'd do something. Oh, this is the best dance ever. Mike did this dance. I love it. And actually, this is sort of like, I think we've mentioned it before, but it's sort of like, uh— What he's saying, the weird chanting he's doing is kind of like this, uh, in that very stru— uh, Bugs Bunny episode we were talking about, where he's on the desert island. He does, like, a weird native dance and just kinda sounds like that.
MIKE: {overlapping} Ohhhh. Matt always throws in this stuff from old Looney Toons that I don't know.
MATT: Well, I mean, it's sub— subconscious.
MIKE: Yeah. Sure.
MATT: Don't sue me {Mike snickers}, don't— I'm not, er, not plagiarizing.
MIKE: I love those little, uh, French fry trays.
MATT: Yeah.
MIKE: The red and white checkerboarded ones...? I remember one time I made, uh, some Long John— I made, uh, the Long John Silver's trays, cardboard trays that the fries and stuff came in, were— looked like boats, and I played with them and they're all greasy and... {Matt chuckles} But I loved them.
MATT: Uh, there's really a cleaner called, uh, Awesome
MIKE: {overlapping} Awesome, yeah
MATT: {continues} right? Yeah, our friend Tobin got us, that he keep— we keep mentioning.
MIKE: Look, this is one of the few times that Strong Bad eats ever.
MATT: {chuckles} It just disappears into his mouth.
MIKE: {overlapping} It— into his flesh mouth.
MATT: Couple of megachips. {Strong Bad in background says, "Maybe a couple of megachips"} That's what he said.
