Easter Eggs
- When the pictures of the sisters appear, you can click on them to have Strong Bad imagine different variations.
Fun Facts
Trivia
- When this email was first released, Strong Bad's head typed, "bam—bam—bigalow", the name of a professional wrestler. This was later changed to the current, "head—hit—keyboard". The reason for the change is unknown.
- When Strong Bad is imagining which girl is hotter, the cracks on the monitor over-lap the words and his imagination.
Remarks
- Strong Bad says that he "hate[s] this computer," which is contrary to his statement in gimmicks that he "liked that computer."
Real-World References
- The first images of Ali and her sister are taken from the first Leisure Suit Larry game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The additional images seen in the Easter egg are from the second game in the series, Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places).
Fast Forward
- In personal favorites, the Grape-Nuts Robot says "Come back, Ali. Come back, Ali's sister."
- In do over, Strong Bad imagines how he would correct the "stnank" he commits in this email. He also names Ali's sister "Ali Jr."
DVD Version
- In the DVD version, the Ali/Ali's sister Easter egg is implemented differently. If you hit "Angle," when Strong Bad thinks of each girl, the image changes, similar to how clicking on them changed them in the original email.
