Fun Facts

Trivia

Remarks

  • "I she be" is possibly a typo of "I should be" or "I shall be".
  • At the top of the IM window, it says "instant messenge." "Messenge" is not a word, though it may be a play on, or a misspelling of, the word "messenger."
  • There is dispute on Strong Mad's height. This email says 6 feet while the facts says 88 inches (7'4"). The secret Strong Mad sticker page indicates that he is 8'3" and 900 lbs.
  • When first responding to the email, Strong Bad says, "all i gotta say..." The I is not capitalized, contrary to his ruthless attention to mechanics.
  • The IM conversation between The Cheat and gr8lookinggrrl contains several instances of Internet Slang.
  • In the previous email (credit card), Strong Bad forwarded an email to Homestar Runner by simply typing "forward message".

Inside References

  • In The House that Gave Sucky Treats, when you choose The Cheat's costume as your favorite, the word "Cheatachu" is in the body of the email.
  • The Cheat's description of himself (or, at least, what he told to gr8lookinggrrl) is obviously Strong Mad's description.

Real-World References

  • The IM program is most likely AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). The sounds for sending and receiving a message in this email are the default ones for AIM, and the blue and red font colors used for the two names is an AIM default.
  • Sbarro is an Italian food chain which can be found in many mall food courts.
  • The song that Strong Bad sings at the start of this email is the theme to the popular '80s kids' TV show He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
  • The "same Strong Bad time, same Strong Bad channel" is a reference to the '60s Batman TV show, which ended "Tune in next week, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel."
