History Trivia / StrongBadEmail

* ScheduleSlip: Originally a weekly feature, the site went without new emails for weeks or even months as the 2000s progressed. The Chaps acknowledged this in mid-2003 by changing "updated mondays" to "updated somedays" on the menu.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: One [=SBEmail=], dedicated to talking about the worst aspects of improv theater, was made specifically for the "Dad's Garage" improv theater in Atlanta, Georgia. This email was only shown publicly twice in July 2014 and June 2015, the only way to watch it afterwards is to watch a handheld camera recording that someone just so happened to record during the final showing. [[note]] Notable in that, despite being made in the Compé era, it uses the Lappy 486 instead, making this the final email it appears in. [[/note]]

* ColbertBump: The email "crazy cartoon" received a ton of views on [=YouTube=] after ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' referenced it in the form of a trio of robots called the Sweet Cap'n Cakes.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The bonus e-mail "comic book movie" was released in 2008 and primarily mocks common comic book movie clichés of the mid-2000s, especially the Film/XMenFilmSeries (MovieSuperheroesWearBlack, [[MarqueeAlterEgo they don't wear masks]], [[SpecialEffectFailure poorly-done CGI]], and so on). Also in 2008, ''Film/IronMan1'' was released, which began the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and completely changed the landscape of comic book movies; the series is especially known for its comic-accurate costumes (bright, colorful, masks included and not entirely leather) and focus given to perfecting the visual effects. Even so, while Strong Bad's lampooning of the subject is outdated from a post-MCU point of view, many of his complaints still hold true for its [[FollowTheLeader imitators]].

->'''Strong Bad''': Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: While this is averted in most aspects due to Strong Bad's noted preference for older computers (his newest computer has 16-bit graphics at best), starting with "too cool", responses are now pulled from Strong Bad's official Twitter account rather than his email address, reflecting the rise of social media as the internet's primary form of communication in the 2010s.
