STRONG BAD: Hello, everybody! This week it's time for some spring cleaning. Ready? Go!
Dear Strong Bad,
Why do you hate Homestar so much? He seems
like a nice guy to me.
Caitlyn
STRONG BAD: Oh, what a good question! Let me think about how I should answer that...
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: Ha ha ha, that felt great. What's next?
Do you have a secret crush with marzipan?
steve
sterling, VA
{Strong Bad prounounces VA as "Vah"}
STRONG BAD: Ah, this question is definitely worth my time and consideration.
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: Uh ho ho, this is getting good!
Dear Strong Bad,
How do you type with boxing gloves on?
Mike,
Bend Oregon
STRONG BAD: Oh, that's a new one. No way do I get this freaking question all the time. I suppose I'll probably answer it right now.
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: {laughing} Oh, who's next man?
Dear Strong Bad,
Are you made of crap? Did you invent the word crap?
Where did the word crap come from?
Crapfully crapfully,
Chad
STRONG BAD: Oh, I'll totally answer this one because apparently the only thing I'm concerned with is the word crap—
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: Oh, I'm on a roll!
Strong Bad,
Your last email was pathetic. I was disappointed.
Come on, you can do better than that! This is like
the highlight of my week.
Surprised at your lack of humor,
Sue
{Instead of saying "Sue", he says and types "Deleted".}
DELETED!!
STRONG BAD: Aaaah! I feel so cleansed. So fresh and so clean, clean. Okay, so until next time, ain't nobody dope as me.
{The Paper comes down.}
Fun Facts
Explanations
- Sue, who notes that last week's email was "pathetic," was referring to tape-leg.
Trivia
- This is the first email where the screen flashes DELETED!! when Strong Bad deletes something.
- This is the first appearance of a "How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?" email.
- This is the last email where The Paper reads, "Click here to e-mail strong bad."
- This is the first email where Strong Bad checks multiple emails.
Remarks
- When Strong Bad answers Susan's email, he types "DELETED" then presses enter. All the other times he deleted emails here, though, he never typed "DELETED" — he simply hit one key on the keyboard.
- The page title reads "Mandy 400!!" instead of "Tandy 400!!!" in this email.
- This email was released on April Fool's Day.
Real-World References
- The last few lines are from a song by OutKast called, "So Fresh, So Clean"; that's why Strong Bad said "clean" twice. The song's chorus goes Ain't nobody dope as me, I'm just so fresh and clean (so fresh and so clean, clean). The song is featured on the albums "Stankonia" and "Big Boi and Dre Present...OutKast."
