STRONG BAD: {Singing as he types "run strongbad's_email"} Oh, who is the guy that checks all his emails? That's me, Strong Bad.
{The email appears on the screen, and Strong Bad reads it out loud.}
Dear Strong Bad, Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing gloves off before you go to bed? Sincerely, Abdi LaRue San Diego, CA
{Strong Bad calls up a blank screen and reads to himself as he types his response.}
STRONG BAD: Well, that's a stupid question, Abdi. Do you take off your face and hands before you go to bed? And if so, are you some kind of robot? And if so, what kind of powers do you have? Do you use them for good, or for awesome? Would you like to join forces? I just happen to be the greatest criminal mind of our time. {Signs off "—Strong Bad", and then stops typing.}
Okay, until next time. Keep sending me your questions, and I will make fun of you... I mean, answer them.
{The Paper comes down. It says "Click here to e-mail strong bad". Clicking on the text opens up a blank e-mail addressed to strongbad@homestarrunner.com.}

Commentary Transcript
(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)
MIKE: Hey! It's Mike and Matt! We're doing the commentary on the first Strong Bad Email we ever made! It's called... {pause} Some Kinda Robot.
MATT: {simultanously} In—Invisibility.
{Mike laughs}
MATT: The Basics
MIKE: So this, of course, is back when you could see Strong Bad's mouth, when we would animate his mouth.
MATT: And didn't his head didn—
MIKE: His head didn't shake
MATT: His head didn't shake around violently.
MIKE: So at some point, we thought that it would be quicker if we put his hea—the foreground head over the mouth...and, uh, just shake his head around, which now takes way longer than it ever took to just make his mouth move.
MATT: I think that's right. And Abdi LaRue was, this was from before we started doing this, we sent out, was it just a fan list?
MIKE: Yeah, it was like a list
MATT: Yeah, the few, just the 10 people who had ever emailed us
MIKE: The email's almost over!
MATT: Good grief!
MIKE: Thanks, Abdi!
MATT: Thanks, Abdi!
