STRONG BAD: Oh! Man! Email! Ugh!
Dear Strong Bad,
I am the president of a fraternity,
and I was wondering if you would come
to our next party. It's gonna be a
theme party, so it won't happen for
awhile, until we can think of a good
theme. Can you think of one? Thanks.
Matt,
Rochester, NY
STRONG BAD: Look fratty, I'm not comin' to your party. But I do have a pretty good idea for the theme. I think you guys should throw a "FRAT PARTY." {stops typing} Yeah. {typing} And you could all come in baseball hats from the college that you go to. And khaki pants with a tucked-in t-shirt from the party that you threw last month. And at some point get the guy with kinda long hair to whip out his acoustic guitar and play everybody some white blues. {clears screen} And then you could get a couple of kegs of cheap cold ones and invite a buncha skinny blonde girls... Woah. {stops typing} This party's sounding pretty good, actually. {typing} Count me in, bra. {stops typing} So I guess I'm goin' to this frat party. That's pretty hilarious. Well, see ya next week.
{The Paper comes down.}
Easter Eggs
- You can click on the words "baseball hats" to see a nice college hat with the Crazy Go Nuts University logo.
- You can also click on the word "t-shirt" to see a college party T-shirt with Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes and a Grateful Dead Dancing Bear.
- At the end you can click on the words "skinny blonde girls" to have Strong Bad play his demo tape for you from his "band," The Kinda Long-Haired Band. Their song, "Circles," is featured on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits.
- One, two, three, four
- Circles
- She's spinning me around in circles again
- Oh, that skinny blonde girl
- Something about the ages
- I failed college algebra again
- That skinny blonde girl
- And the circles and the ages and the ages
- Beautiful!
Fun Facts
Trivia
- After the song has played, two links appear so that you can click to download the song. However, they don't work anymore. It might be because the song is featured on Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits, and thus you're supposed to buy it, not download it, or because you can download it from the Downloads page.
- This is the last email in which Strong Bad never leaves his chair and the camera angle never changes.
- This is the shortest Compy email, without factoring in Easter eggs.
Remarks
- The tape on Strong Bad's song tape doesn't move or rotate, as it would on regular tapes.
- Strong Bad misreads the word "would" in the email as "could."
- When Strong Bad says 'comin' he neglects to put a apostrophe after it to contract the word.
- After realizing that he would like to attend the party he just described, Strong bad misspells "Whoa" as "Woah".
Glitches
- The T-shirt Easter egg is clickable before Strong Bad even types it.
- You cannot close the cassette tape Easter egg.
Real-World References
- Official college-party T-shirts (especially for fraternity- or sorority-sponsored events) are notorious for unauthorized use of copyrighted characters in their design, such as Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
- "Circles" is the name of a song by The Who.
DVD Version
- The version of Circles in this email seems to have been passed through a high-pass filter to make it sound more lo-fi and scratchy.
- All of the other eggs in the email can still be viewed using the angle button on your DVD remote.
